Chapter 203: What A Tragic Death You Had!

"Yes."

On the other end of the line, Shen Qian hesitated for a moment before answering, "I wouldn't dare to lie to you, Senior. Leng Lin's discovery was purely an accident, we didn't expect it to attract so much trouble.

"Now that he's been targeted, he changed his address, he doesn't dare to go online or go out.

"The few of us wanted to help, but our abilities are limited. After a few futile attempts, we thought of you and would like to ask you for a favor.

"Rest assured, Senior. We are willing to pay you five million Great Yu dollars as payment."

We'll talk about the money later," Su Jingxing cut her off. "How do you want me to help?"

"Clear all of Leng Lin's online posts!"

Shen Qian said quickly, "His information has been dug up by several major factions. Leng Lin said that he hopes to get rid of all his information once and for all and become an unregistered resident."

"Sure."

Su Jingxing stifled a laugh. "T'll fulfill his wish! However, before that, pass me a copy of his information. Also, send me a copy of the photo taken of the stone tablet. A million Great Yu dollars will suffice for the fee."

"Alright, Senior. We'll transfer the money immediately,"

Shen Qian hung up excitedly and went about her work.

On this side.

Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and switched on his computer. He received a notification that he had received a transfer of a million Great Yu dollars to his account, a photo, and a copy of an individual's personal information.

Leng Lin, male, 28, works at a computer company. Low-profile and introverted.

After searching the information online, Su Jingxing realized that it was all over the Internet.

Even though Leng Lin was a computer expert, he was alone.

Faced with the team efforts from various major factions, all the information regarding Leng Lin from the moment he was born to starting work in the company had been dug up.

Had it not been for the fact that the fellow escaped quickly, he would have been caught red-handed in his rented house.

The only reason he wanted to become an unregistered resident was to escape to another city.

Of course, if Su Jingxing was willing to come forward and vouch for him, he wouldn't have to be afraid of anything.

'The question was, why should Su Jingxing vouch for him?

Before Shen Qian called, they had never even heard of each other, let alone know each other.

At the very least, Su Jingxing had no idea that such a person existed.

Vouch for him?

You're dreaming.

The current situation is great. If they need help, they will have to pay.

It is purely a transactional relationship.

No one owes anyone anything.

Getting rid of a person's information couldn't be done for Shen Qian and the others, but it was easy for Su Jingxing.

Working hard on the computer, the identity Leng Lin disappeared from every system in Qinghe City in less than 20 minutes.

He had become a complete unregistered resident.

Su Jingxing had also cleaned up all the traces he left online.

All information regarding Leng Lin, which had been preserved by the major faction, was also erased.

Once he was done, Su Jingxing sent a message to Shen Qian.

Then, he clicked on the photo and looked at a stone tablet in the corner.

'As the Sky Water River surged, the stone tablet floated on the surface of the water when the photo was captured

'There was nothing special about it.

After zooming in on the photo, Su Jingxing carefully inspected the stone tablet and found that it was engraved with fine patterns.

Array formation patterns?

They also look a little like ancient text.

'They were connected and attached to each other, but Su Jingxing couldn't figure out what that meant.

He searched online and found that there were indeed many people discussing the stone tablet.

Some called it a tombstone, some called it a memorial tablet, and others called it a martial arts secret manual.

In short, there was lots of discussion centered around this stone tablet.

Even though the original post was gone, the discussion caused by the stone tablet had long spread to all the networks in Qinghe City.

Su Jingxing read for a while and realized that someone was deliberately guiding the discussions.

That's right, deliberate guidance to maintain the popularity of this topic!

That is strange.

No one knew what exactly was the stone tablet, but people were hyping it up. What are they up to?

Qinghe City's Third People's Hospital.

Ina VIP room.

Lu Wuchang was sitting on the sofa, watching TV in boredom.

In the hospital bed next door, Lu Chen lay motionless.

The bed was connected to various devices, and the beeps sounded steadily.

At first glance, he seemed to have fallen asleep.

In reality, Lu Chen was already in a vegetative state.

Even though he wasn't dead, he couldn't move or wake up.

No one knew when he would wake up. All the doctors and medical experts who should have been called in had been there, and none of them could come up with a solution. All they could say was that everything depended on the situation.

In the vegetative state, some would wake up in a few months, and some wouldn't even wake up for a few years.

Given the Lu family's wealth, it wouldn't be a problem for Lu Chen to even stay in bed for decades.

'That wasn't why Lu Wuchang was bored.

Before the incident with Lu Chen, he had warned him that death was certain.

Even though he wasn't dead yet, becoming a vegetable was no different from dying.

Lu Wuchang called his parents and informed them of the situation. After Lu Chen's parents came and confirmed that there was no longer any hope for him, they left Lu Chen in Qinghe City and went home by themselves.

It wasn't that they were cold-blooded.

Instead, it was because the Lu Family had been at odds with the Zeng Family for the past half a year.

Lu Chen had tried to stir up trouble on his own, but ended up getting thrown into the river and hit his head on a rock, turning into a vegetable. If the Zeng Family found out about this, they would definitely use it as a weapon to attack the Lu Family.

Asa result, they had no choice but to hide Lu Chen in Qinghe City.

Lu Wuchang was mainly responsible for keeping an eye on Lu Chen and ensuring that no one from the Zeng Family discovered him.

At first, Lu Wuchang was extremely frustrated. However, once he went online and accidentally saw a photo, he immediately perked up and sent people out to investigate.

He was watching television in boredom purely because waiting was torturous for him.

However, as soon as his phone rang, Lu Wuchang sat up straight and answered the call. "How's it? Have you figured out where it's from?"

"Are you sure?"

"Good, very good!"

"Remember, no one is allowed to talk about this!"

"Someone is deliberately guiding the discussion online? Heh, looks like we aren't the only ones who know what's going on."

It's fine. Let them do it. It'll save us a lot of trouble since they are willing to take action. Of course, you guys cant slack off either. Keep an eye on the situation in the city!"

After hanging up the call, Lu Wuchang stood up and paced around the room excitedly.

"Tsk, this is the will of the heavens.

"The opening of Qin King Mausoleum triggered the ruckus in the Sky Water River. The river waters surged violently, and some things buried at the bottom of the river were washed out.

"I's truly a pleasant surprise for these things to see the light of day again." Lu Wuchang sighed.

All of a sudden, his heart skipped a beat.

"What's going on?"

Taken aback, Lu Wuchang asked, "Danger? Is there something wrong with that stone tablet?"

He couldn't figure it out.

It was a magical omen, but it couldn't fool anyone.

"An opportunity that comes with danger?" Lu Wuchang mused.

In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

$u Jingxing did not hold on to the stone tablet.

Even though this thing was strange, it had nothing to do with him.

After browsing the Internet once more, Su Jingxing switched off his computer, washed up, and ate.

After eating, he would continue to temper his Martial Art True Intent and strive to open its eyes first.

'The next day.

'When he got to work at the crematorium, he patrolled the area once in a while as per his usual routine.

'When it was almost noon, he bumped into Gu Bo, who was about to head out.

"Team Leader Gu, is there a field mission?" asked Su Jingxing, stepping forward.

"Yeah, the Martial Suppression Office called. They found a corpse," replied Gu Bo. "Little Su, if you have nothing on, you can come with us."

"Sure," replied Su Jingxing happily.

He loved field missions!

He got into the corpse transportation truck and followed Gu Bo to the scene.

This time, it didn't take place outside the city. Instead, it was in a hotel in the city.

'The corpse was discovered by the hotel's cleaners.

The state of the corpse was extremely strange.

As Su Jingxing and Gu Bo chatted on the way, they were still discussing how strange it could be.

'When they arrived at the scene and saw the corpse in the hotel room, they finally understood what it meant to be strange.

Amummy!

The deceased had turned into a mummy.

Not to mention fresh blood, even the moisture on his body had vanished entirely.

"How… how did this happen?"

Gu Bo was left speechless.

He was an experienced worker in the crematorium, and had seen countless corpses. He had seen all kinds of tragic situations, but this was his first time seeing a corpse like this.

"Tm not sure."

Qi Zhaochen, who was in charge of the scene, said with a grim expression, "From the marks on the corpse, it seems like it was beaten up."

"A martial arts expert?" asked Gu Bo, stunned. "What kind of martial artist could wipe out a person's moisture and blood?"

"It could also have been done through absorption," Su Jingxing couldn't help but interject.

At the same time, he racked his brains.

Vampire? Art of Essence Absorption"? Dark North Divine Art2?

In any case, the cause of death of this corpse was very strange.

For this reason, Su Jingxing and Gu Bo waited instead of taking the corpse away immediately.

'They waited for personnel of even higher rank from the Martial Suppression Office to come and check on the situation,

Due to the strangeness of the corpse, it was easy to associate it with martial artists who cultivated heretic arts.

Heretic martial artists were the focus of the Martial Suppression Office's surveillance.

Every heretic martial artist was an unstable element that needed to be watched closely.

Therefore, even though Qi Zhaochen had called the crematorium, Gu Bo and Su Jingxing had to wait.

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Sun Ye, the Chief of Control of Martial Suppression Office Western District Branch, arrived at the scene.

After examining the corpse, Sun Ye frowned and also called his superior.

Li Linzhou!

Amummy-like corpse was too strange.

As a precaution, it was best for the head of the Martial Suppression Office, Li Linzhou, to have a look.

In terms of experience and strength, Li Linzhou was the strongest.

Su Jingxing didn't care about that.

When no one was looking, he put his right hand behind his back and took out the card he had extracted.

He held it in his palm and read its description.

'True Energy Card!

He extracted a True Energy Card with 21 years of cultivation from this mummy-like corpse.

21 years of true energy cultivation.

This meant that the victim's true energy cultivation had been extremely profound when they were alive.

'They were either in fourth-grade, fifth-grade, and even the kind with over 50 years of cultivation.

Su Jingxing was pleased with the card, even though what he wanted the most was a Memory Card.

Unfortunately.

"Make way! Make way, all of you!"

A bellow suddenly came from outside, breaking Su Jingxing's train of thought.

Silently, he put the card away.

Su Jingxing looked at Sun Ye. Sure enough, the latter's face sank, and he turned around to leave the room.

"Who's messing around…"

Boom!

The air suddenly exploded, creating a massive whirlwind.

It swept from the outside of the room all the way in. Everywhere it passed, the staff of the Martial Suppression Office would stagger backward.

Gu Bo even fell flat on his butt.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing took a few steps back and leaned against the wall.

'At the same time, he looked up at the door, ready to see which big shot dared to disregard the Martial Suppression Office.

"You're Sun Ye, aren't you? Get out of my way!"

Atall and burly figure walked through the door. Pointing at Sun Ye, she cursed without restraint. "I'm not in the mood to play along with you. If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"

'The comers of Sun Ye's lips twitched. Resisting the urge to burst out, he took a step back.

'The comers of Qi Zhaochen's eyes also twitched at the sight of the person.

Even Gu Bo gaped in shock.

Meanwhile Su Jingxing was simply puzzled.

'Wang Tiedao!

'The Patriarch of the Wang Family, a woman who was even more manly than a man, and had countless male concubines, Boss Wang, Wang Tiedao had charged here. What was she up to?

Amidst Su Jingxing's amazement, she heard a sorrowful, angry, and shocked howl.

"Junior Sister!"

"Who did it? Who did this?!"

"Tm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him! Ahhh!" roared Boss Wang.

When Sun Ye, Qi Zhaochen, and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

This time, Su Jingxing's heart also skipped a beat.

Junior Sister?

The corpse that had turned into a mummy was Wang Tiedao's junior sister?

Most people in Qinghe City knew about Wang Tiedao's identity and experiences.

An ordinary person who obtained the Profound Water Pearl by chance and was taken in as a disciple by an elder of the Hundred Flower Valley. From then on, she gained a powerful backer and did not need to fear others.

After more than 10 years of hard work, Wang Tiedao had managed to build up a Wang Family which was equally famous alongside the Li and Zhou Families.

Even though their foundations could not be compared, the Wang Family's influence, network of experts, and the power they controlled weren't any weaker than the Zhou Family due to Wang Tiedao's identity.

What was the most important part of Wang Tiedao's identity?

'The Hundred Flower Valley!

Someone she could address as "Junior Sister" had to be a member of the Hundred Flower Valley.

A disciple from Hundred Flower Valley had been killed and turned into a mummy?

Sun Ye and Qi Zhaochen felt dizzy at the thought.

'There was only one thought in their minds.

This is serious!

Unlike the Jade Sword Sect and the Divine Fist Sect, the Hundred Flower Valley was a big sect with a legacy of a thousand years.

In the entire Yu Nation, and even in the surrounding countries, it was a reputable and powerful organization.

Even the Golden Chen Family and Ci En Bank paled in comparison.

This sect, which had comprised women since a thousand years ago, was the most unreasonable and fearless.

And now, a female disciple of Hundred Flower Valley had been reduced to a mummy.

From this, one could well imagine how enraged the Hundred Flower Valley would be!

"How did this happen?" murmured Sun Ye almost dreamily.

Now that a disciple of Hundred Flower Valley had died in Qinghe City, things were about to get lively in the city.

Swoosh!

Sound of breaking wind came from outside the window.

A figure flew in through the window.

"What's going on?"

Li Linzhou's sleeves fluttered in the wind. Frowning, he asked, "What kind of thread was found on the victim's body…"

"You died a tragic death, Junior Sister!"

Wang Tiedao broke down in tears, cutting Li Linzhou off.

Recognizing Wang Tiedao, Li Linzhou wanted to offer some words of consolation, but his expression changed drastically upon hearing her words.

Junior Sister?

A disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley?

How could that be!

Li Linzhou was momentarily stunned.

Chapter 204: Very Comfortable When Hugged to Sleep

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This is troublesome!

Damn the murderer! Not only did they kill a disciple from the Hundred Flower Valley, they even turned her into a mummy!

What are they up to?

To fight to the death with Hundred Flower Valley?

With such vicious methods, could the murderer be an archenemy of the Hundred Flower Valley?

Is there a powerful faction behind the murderer that they dared to target the Hundred Flower Valley?

Even if this faction wasn't as powerful as Hundred Flower Valley, it wasn't much weaker, was it?

What is their goal in killing a disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley?

Purely revenge?

Or deliberately provoking a conflict?

What a headache!

When Li Linzhou came back to his senses, he felt like his head was about to explode.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the Hundred Flower Valley.

Although the thousand-year-old sect had terrifying strength, the Martial Suppression Office was the number one martial arts organization in the Yu Nation. It had both manpower, money and resources.

What troubled Li Linzhou the most was the series of problems caused by the death of the disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley.

She died in Qinghe City.

'Whether it was the murderer or the Hundred Flower Valley, they were bound to start off an intense fight in Qinghe City.

Exchanges between experts would most easily bring about undeserved catastrophe.

In the end, the ordinary people would be the ones suffering.

This wasn't something he could control!

Alarmed, Li Linzhou made up his mind.

First, he drew a deep breath. Then, he said, "Rest assured, Patriarch Wang. The Martial Suppression Office will cooperate with your operation to find the murderer!

"Given how unbridled the murderer is, they must be an expert. Just in case, I'll report this matter and have a Universal Envoy stationed at Qinghe City!"

The room fell silent.

'The howling Wang Tiedao went stiff and stopped yelling.

'The faces of Sun Ye and the others lit up with joy.

A Universal Envoy—an envoy who patrolled the world!

This position was an important position in the Martial Suppression Office, and only top-ranked experts could hold it.

After Li Linzhou's report, the Universal Envoy that would come could either be in the third-grade, second-grade, or even the first-grade!

'As for the exact grade, that would depend on the situation.

But the lowest was third-grade!

'When a third-grade martial artist arrived in Qinghe City, no matter how furious the people sent by Hundred Flower Valley were, they had to contain their anger and control their emotions.

Even if they had no other choice but to strike, they had to do so outside the city.

Li Linzhou had announced his decision in front of so many people because he wanted to tell Wang Tiedao, the Martial Suppression Office would accommodate the search for the murderer, but they were not to behave unscrupulously in the city!

Wang Tiedao understood that so she remained silent.

Li Linzhou could not control the situation, and neither could she resolve it.

'The Hundred Flower Valley would only dispatch its personnel after people taking care of the aftermath reported the matter.

Of course, the people from the Hundred Flowers Valley would need time to arrive, but the deceased's corpse would still be cremated first.

This was a rigid rule.

There was nothing that could be done in the wild, but in the city, it had to be cremated.

To that end, Wang Tiedao extracted some tissue and cells from the corpse and snapped a full-body photo.

Only then did Gu Bo and Su Jingxing put the corpse into the body bag and carry it out of the room, returning to the crematorium.

Along the way, Gu Bo sighed. "Since the murderer dared to kill a disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley, they certainly wouldn't be weak, probably in either third-grade or fourth-grade."

"Tm more curious about why the murderer killed her," said Su Jingxing, pondering. "Could the deceased have known the murderer when she was alive?"

"Well…" Gu Bo mused and said," That's possible!"

"Think about it. A disciple from Hundred Flower Valley came to Qinghe City, but instead of looking for Boss Wang who is from the same sect, she checked into a hotel by herself. No matter how you look at it, there's something fishy about this!"

"Maybe she's here for a private matter?" Su Jingxing guessed. "Because it was a private matter, that's why she didn't look for Boss Wang?"

"God knows," said Gu Bo, shaking his head. "Anyway, this matter won't end anytime soon. Now that she's dead, whether it was a private matter or not doesn't matter anymore."

"That's true," agreed Su Jingxing.

That's right. No matter what happened to the deceased when she was alive, her death was the biggest problem!

Back at the crematorium.

Gu Bo brought the corpse to carry on with the subsequent procedures.

After work, Su Jingxing went to the canteen, had lunch, and returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Given his current "strength", working a moming shift was more than enough.

He could also extract cards at home.

Going to the crematorium and showing his face occasionally was enough to cover his job.

After some thought, Su Jingxing decided that it was best to keep an eye on the death of the Hundred Flower Valley disciple in Qinghe City.

Protecting the Yu Nation for 10 years was his vow.

Between the Hundred Flower Valley and the mastermind, Su Jingxing had no objections as to whatever they did and neither would he intervene.

However, if the conflict between the two affected others and caused large-scale casualties, it would be related to Su Jingxing.

By then, even if Su Jingxing didn't intervene, he would have to.

For that, he had to keep an eye on this matter.

In the afternoon, he stayed at home and used true fluid to nourish his mind and temper his Martial Art True Intent.

At night, he suddenly received a call from Shen Qian.

"Senior, someone wants to sell a strange Energy Gathering Stone."

"Strange?" asked Su Jingxing, stopping his tempering. "How so?"

"The other party said that hugging the Energy Gathering Stones to sleep allows one to sleep very comfortably," replied Shen Qian, stifling her laughter.

Hugging it to sleep allows one to sleep very comfortably?

Isn't that normal?

Energy Gathering Stones are meant to gather worldly energy.

For ordinary people, hugging an Energy Gathering Stone to sleep is equivalent to being enveloped by worldly energy. Even the slightest shred of energy will make their sleep extremely comfortable.

This is all too normal.

"By the way, that Energy Gathering Stone is very light."

Shen Qian recalled something and continued. "Senior, your offer price is five million Great Yu dollars per kilogram. But while the energy gathering stone that this person has isn't small, about the size of two palms, it's very light—not even half a kilogram."

"So?" asked Su Jingxing.

"So the other party requested the same price. We cannot reduce the price just because it's not as heavy," answered Shen Qian.

"Sure!"

Pondering for a moment, Su Jingxing replied, "If the stone is really the size of two palms as he claimed, I'll give five million Great Yu dollars."

"alright, I'll reply him right away,"

Shen Qian hung up.

Su Jingxing put down his phone and stopped cultivating. He got up and took out his gear, cloak and mask.

An Energy Gathering Stones that was the size of two palms. If there was no problem with it, five million dollars it shall be.

In any case, Su Jingxing wasn't short of money.

'The bigger the Energy Gathering Stone, the faster it could gather energy.

For that, if the size of the stone was as claimed, this deal would be worth it.

When he finished getting dressed, his phone rang again.

It was still Shen Qian.

"Senior, the seller has agreed and wants to proceed with the deal as soon as possible. Tonight, at a pavilion in the northwestern corner of Central Square at 11 p.m. tonight."

"Got it," replied Su Jingxing, "Give him a reply that Ill be there on time. Tell him to hold onto the Energy Gathering Stone properly."

"Yes, Senior."

Shen Qian answered and hung up.

Su Jingxing switched on his computer and transferred six million Great Yu dollars to Shen Qian's account.

Once the deal was closed, five million would be given to the other party. One million would be the payment for Shen Qian and the others.

The agreed time was 11 p.m.

Since he had some time, Su Jingxing went online to search for news regarding the stone tablet. At the same time, he also checked if there was any information regarding the death of a disciple from Hundred Flower Valley.

He found that the Internet was still bustling with talks and discussions of the stone tablet.

On the contrary, there was nothing about the disciple of the Hundred Flowers Valley who had been turned into a mummy.

'Whether or not the Martial Suppression Office was behind this wasn't clear either.

"Speaking of which, why would a disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley appear in Qinghe City?"

Su Jingxing pondered as he scanned through the information.

Time flew by, and soon it was 11 p.m..

After putting on his equipment, Su Jingxing walked out of the courtyard, took to the air, and flew towards the Central District.

Central Square generally referred to the People's Square in the Central District.

'The square was built by the government, and it did not have many recreation facilities nor was it large.

Su Jingxing flew through the air. When he reached the appointed place, he saw a thin figure waiting in the pavilion.

Immediately, he chose a remote corner and landed.

Then, he walked towards the pavilion.

'When he was about 10 meters away, the man in the pavilion suddenly turned around and looked at him.

"Stop right there!" shouted the man, stopping him. "Wait, are you the buyer?"

"It's me," said Su Jingxing in a lowered voice. "Did you bring the Energy Gathering Stone?"

Swish!

Without another word, the man tossed a package at Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing took it and opened the package. There was a large Energy Gathering Stone inside.

And indeed, it weighed less than half a kilogram.

Moreover, this Energy Gathering Stone gave Su Jingxing a strange feeling.

Very comfortable?

Sleepy?

It is indeed strange.

"What do you think? Is everything okay?" urged the man. "If it's fine, please transfer the money. This is my bank account."

He tossed Su Jingxing another bank card.

While Su Jingxing caught it, he suddenly asked, "Where did you get this?"

"L picked it up by the river."

'The man blurted out. He only realized what he had said after. His face darkened and he snapped, "Why do you care where I got it? Just tell me straight if you don't want it, I didn't force you to buy it!"

His words were harsh.

If it were anyone else, they would have gotten into a fight by now.

However, Su Jingxing had bought Energy Gathering Stones several times before the New Year, and whenever he confirmed that they were authentic, he would immediately pay for them. As a result, his reputation was great.

High price, good reputation, and no nonsense.

'Once the news spread, the subsequent sellers grew bolder.

'They weren't afraid that Su Jingxing, an expert, would attack them.

The same went for this man.

Su Jingxing listened to his heartbeat. Even though he realized that his heart was racing, he didn't expose him.

He took out his phone and called Shen Qian, telling her to make payment.

Moments later, the man's phone beeped.

He quickly opened the notification and was overjoyed when he saw a string of zeros.

"Haha, thanks!"

He excitedly put away his phone and left.

Su Jingxing remained in the same spot.

He held the strange Energy Gathering Stones in his hand and sensed for any abnormality. However, he didn't find anything.

His detection range was fixed on the man's whereabouts.

After a while, he put the Energy Gathering Stone in his palm space. With a flicker, he disappeared into the darkness.

Instead of returning to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he tailed the man.

I picked it up by the river!

These words contained a lot of information.

In Qinghe City, the "by the river" basically referred to the banks of the Sky Water River.

Due to the opening of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, the river waters had surged and bubbled.

Just as a mysterious stone tablet emerged, someone now picked up a strange Energy Gathering Stone.

No one knew what lay ahead.

Su Jingxing's intuition told him that the thin man had other things in his possession.

There is more than one strange Energy Gathering Stone?

This was why Su Jingxing decided to follow him.

This lasted for half an hour.

After leaving the square, the slim man got into a car. Seemingly afraid of being followed, he made a long detour around the Central, Southern, and Eastern Districts before arriving at a night market and entering a private room in a restaurant.

$u Jingxing locked onto his target and hid in the darkness behind the restaurant. He activated Advanced Hearing and listened in on their conversation.

The thin man was the loudest.

"Haha, brothers, we succeeded. He really bought it!"

"Really? Are you sure it's five million dollars?"

"Do you think I'm lying? Here's the transfer text notification. Before I came here, I checked at the bank. It's indeed five million dollars. Not a cent more, not a cent less!"

"Good!"

"Great!"

The few people cheered excitedly. The sound of glasses clinking sounded through the air.

Gulp! Gulp! Everyone gulped down a large glass of wine.

Then, they continued to celebrate and discuss the topic.

"Even though we don't know what these stones are, we are still making a killing if every one of them is sold for at least five million."

"Yeah, that big client sure is straightforward. He paid up once he checked the stone."

"That's because he has too much money and nowhere to spend it. Of course, he's also strong enough. I heard that he's in the fourth-grade. He's not afraid of extortion or dirty tricks!"

"Heh, if he wasn't strong enough, would he have dared to make the deal alone?"

"That's true. By the way, should we sell all our stones to him?"

"Hold on. Didn't Old Wang entrust a stone to the Myriad Treasures Court? When the auction begins on the day after tomorrow's auction begins, we'll see the final price. If the proceeds from the auction are higher, we'll auction them. If the price is lower, we'll sell it to the mysterious buyer!"

"That's right. This is called seizing both sides at once, maximizing the benefits!"

"You guys can wait then. Five million dollars is enough for me anyway."

"Haha. Old Li, you regret selling the stone so early, don't you? I told you to wait for two more days, but you wouldn't listen. You were in a hurry to sell the stone. If the price at the auction is higher, you are going to cry."

"It's too early to tell who would cry now. All you want is to maximize your profits and wait for the results of Old Wang's auction. However, if the price goes below one million dollars, do you think that mysterious client will still offer five million dollars?"

"Every time the Million Treasures Auction goes on an auction, all the major factions will pay attention to it. Given that person's abilities, do you think he won't go to the venue to spectate? Even if he doesn't, won't he know about the situation afterward?"

The room fell into silence.

That's right.

They only thought of the good side, not the bad.

If the price was too low, the mysterious client who bought the Energy Gathering Stone would no longer buy more.

Five million dollars?

By then, they might not even get half a million dollars!

At the thought of this, Old Wang and the others hesitated, feeling frustrated.

"What do we do? What do we do now? Shall we sell them as soon as possible?"

"T still think we should wait."

"I think we should sell them. Five million dollars is a lot."

The few people got into an argument.

Listening to their conversation, Su Jingxing was equally shocked.

Firstly, he had guessed right.

There was more than one of these strange Energy Gathering Stones.

Secondly, a Energy Gathering Stone had been sent to the Myriad Treasures Court to be auctioned.

The Myriad Treasures Court wasn't a small faction.

It was a large organization that had existed with a legacy of more than 300 years and spanned across more than 10 countries!

Chapter 205: Gathering of Experts

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Unlike other organizations, the Myriad Treasures Court only operated auction markets and charged transaction fees.

For hundreds of years, all they did was be an "agent".

Their reputation and credibility were very solid.

Both ordinary people or martial artists could go knocking on their doors. Once they passed the inspection and the item was confirmed to be extraordinary, the organization would accept the request and proceed with the auction.

As far as Su Jingxing knew, the auctions of the Myriad Treasures Court's Qinghe City's branch did not have fixed timings.

Some were a year apart, and others were half a year apart.

Every time before an auction, there would be a certain amount of publicity done.

'They would be present in all channels, television, Internet, newspapers, and radio broadcasts.

This time, there was actually no publicity, only sharing the news through word of mouth.

Are the items being auctioned more special this time?

Su Jingxing pondered.

The group of men in the room made preparations for two scenarios.

On one hand, they contacted him, and on the other, they entrusted the strange Energy Gathering Stone to the Myriad Treasures Court for auction.

If what they said was true, there would be an auction held at the Myriad Treasures Court the day after tomorrow. That would provide him with a better understanding of the situation.

Neither they nor Su Jingxing recognized the stone.

'There were no records of such items in the Record of Wondrous Things in Xuantian University Library.

The Record of Wondrous Things Record wasn't the Collection of Wondrous Things, it did not contain all the oddities in the world.

It could only be said that in comparison, there were many strange items recorded.

Su Jingxing wasn't surprised that there were no records of such a strange stone in the Record of Wondrous Things.

But the people of the Myriad Treasures Court might know what it was.

In terms of understanding treasures, the appraisers of the Myriad Treasures Court were the most experienced.

They had access to inherited information of all kinds of treasures.

'The group of men in the room had picked up the strange stones by the river. If he had to pick people who were mostly likely to know what they were,

the Myriad Treasures Court's appraisers would definitely be one of them!

With this in mind. Su Jingxing took a few steps back and disappeared into the darkness, moving away from the restaurant.

He found a remote corner and soared into the sky.

There was a good chance that he would find out what the strange stone was once he attended the Myriad Treasures Court's auction.

This was a perfect opportunity for him to take a look at the auction markets on Earth Star and see if there was anything good he could get his hands on.

Before that, Su Jingxing wasn't in a hurry to obtain all the stones.

It would be funny if this thing had side effects, or was not of much use other than really only serving to boost sleep.

It was just two days, he could afford to wait.

The auctions of the Myriad Treasures Court were all held at night.

The location was the top floor of a tall building.

The top three floors of the building had been bought by the Myriad Treasures Court as their branch in Qinghe City.

Instead of incurring enmity with any organization, they helped everyone to gather all kinds of rare treasures.

'The Myriad Treasures Court had close ties with almost every faction.

As long as it wasn't anything major, everyone was happy to do them favors.

Of course, in order for any faction to flourish, no matter how individualistic and neutral they were, they had to have strong capabilities to be their backing and source of confidence.

Similarly, the Myriad Treasures Court had many top-ranked experts as their Guardians.

Rumor had it that the owner was a first-grade big shot.

As for his exact level, no one knew.

Given Su Jingxing's current strength, he had nothing to fear about others.

After a day.

At eight in the evening on the following day, he made a beeline for the Myriad Treasures Court through the air.

He landed on the rooftop.

His secret ability, Advanced Hearing, was activated for him to listen to the movements on the top floor below.

People had already arrived and were waiting.

Su Jingxing shook off his cloak, checked his mask, and walked towards the stairs.

Before long, he was at the entrance of the auction hall.

The guards at the entrance did not check tickets; they were only responsible for security.

Su Jingxing entered the auction hall and found a corner to sit down, quietly waiting for the auction to start at 8:30 pm.

During this time, people arrived in succession and entered the auction hall.

Su Jingxing recognized many of them.

For example, Yan Yuanfeng of the Iron Thread Sect had come with his Sect Master, Yuan Zhuojun.

Zhao Zhongyi from the Cross Alliance, and the Dean of Xuantian's Institute of Martial Arts, Han Zong, each came with one other person.

'The Sect Master of the Divine Fist Sect, Di Donglei, the Elder of the Green Cloud Court, Li Chunzhen, the Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Mingfang.

Even Xu Tailong from the Tai Long Corporation was present.

At the end, the Commander of the Changyang Prefecture Army, Gu Zhanlin, and Lu Wuchang from the Lu Family of Ci En Bank, walked in and sat down.

Experts!

To think that third-grade experts like Gu Zhanlin and Lu Wuchang would show up at the auction.

The puzzled Su Jingxing grew even more curious.

Just what is the Myriad Treasures Court auctioning this time?

Even third-grade martial artists are here.

It wasn't as bad for Gu Zhanlin. Even though this was the first time Su Jingxing was seeing Lu Wuchang with his own eyes, he knew how powerful and mysterious he was through the Memory Card.

To put it bluntly, like Su Jingxing, this guy also had a cheat ability in his life!

Only the heavens knew where his terrifying intuition came from.

Yet, this fellow had actually appeared at the auction. From this, it could be seen that the items being auctioned by the Myriad Treasures Court this time weren't simple.

"Good evening, guests. Welcome to the Myriad Treasures Court's special auction session. I'm your old friend, and auctioneer, Old Peng."

'At 8:30 pm, on the stage at the front of the auction hall, an old man with thick eyebrows, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hair combed neatly appeared.

With a small wooden mallet in hand, he wore a smile on his face, showing no fear at Gu Zhanlin and Lu Wuchang's arrival.

"Tm sure everyone knows the meaning of a "special session", so I'll cut to the chase.

"If we have new friends here who don't know about it, it's fine. You'll find out soon enough."

"This is because there are only three items up for auction this time.

"Let's cut to the chase and get down to business. Let's bring out the first item!"

The thick-browed old man pointed at the edge of the stage.

Under everyone's gaze, a female martial artist whose figure and looks were above average, dressed in a uniform, walked onto the stage with a round plate and placed it on the auction table.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Beams of light brightened up and lit up the entire auction table.

At the same time, the large displays mounted into the walls on both sides of the auction hall lit up.

'They showed the item placed on the circular plate on the auction table.

The female martial artist removed the red cloth covering the item, revealing its true appearance.

Astone the size of two palms.

Su Jingxing had no idea how others felt, but his pupils constricted.

This stone was the same type of strange Energy Gathering Stone he had acquired!

The first item was what Su Jingxing wanted to learn about. He was in luck.

He more or less knew what kind a special session by the Myriad Treasures Court was now.

"Tm sure everyone is curious as to what this stone is."

On the stage, the thick-browed old man's deep and powerful voice continued,

"Before I introduce it, please allow me to do some advertising. The appraisers of the Myriad Treasures Court are the most proficient with all the treasures in the world.

"Take this stone for example. I dare to claim that the Xuantian University Library doesn't have any records of its existence.

"Not all of them, even if they do.

"But our appraisers know what it is.

"Because this Soul Nurturing Stone originated from the Great Moon Empire from 3,000 years ago!"

Chapter 206: It Won't Disappoint!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Whoosh!

There was a slight stir in the auction hall.

Although silence was quickly restored, many people had indeed become interested.

Putting the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stone aside, just what the words "Great Moon Empire" represented invigorated one.

The Great Moon Empire was once the most powerful empire in the entire Eastern Continent.

The Eastern Continent referred to the vast lands to the east of the Boundless Mountain Range.

Including the Yu Nation, there were a total of 13 nations.

That was now.

In ancient times, the Eastern Continent had more than 40 dynasties at one point.

At the height of the Great Moon Empire's prosperity, there were only three nations in the Eastern Continent.

The northernmost Snow Nation, the southernmost Yan Nation, and the strongest Great Moon Empire!

Had it not been for the fact that the Snow Nation was too cold and the Yan Nation too hot, these two nations would have been unified by the Great Moon Empire.

According to historical records, the Great Moon Empire was the strongest in the "Martial Emperor's Domination" era .

This era began with the strongest, most unreasonable, and most domineering Sacred Moon Martial Emperor, and lasted for a total of 69 years.

Over these 69 years, there was only one voice in the entire Eastern Continent.

That of the Sacred Moon Martial Emperor!

Under the suppression of the Martial Emperor, even the Barbarian Emperor had to bow his head.

In these 69 years, apart from the first year where there was an invasion, the rest of the time was spent holed up in the Boundless Mountain Range or occupying the Western Continent.

Only after the death of a Martial Emperor did they begin invasions again.

However, the Sacred Moon Martial Emperor's cause of death remained a mystery even today.

Even though 3,000 years had passed, everyone was still interested in this tyrannical Martial Emperor.

Su Jingxing was no exception.

To think that the stones picked up by the group of men he was dealing with belonged to the Great Moon Empire. This was quite an opportunity.

He wondered what was the use of this Soul Nurturing Stone?

"Friends, the advertisement is over. Let's continue, shall we?"

On the stage, the thick-browed old man said with a smile, "Anyone who doesn't know the full extent of the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stone will only treat it as a sleeping stone. Hugging it to sleep is very comfortable, and you will be especially refreshed the next day.

"However, in fact, the function of the Soul Nurturing Stone is to nourish soul power and strengthen one's soul. It can even heal wounds inflicted on the soul!"

Whoosh!

The commotion in the auction hall was especially loud this time.

It took a while before the silence returned.

Everyone wore varying expressions of shock, joy, and astonishment.

It nourished one's soul power, strengthened and healed one's soul.

Any one of these functions was top-notch.

Be it for martial artists in the top ranks or the middle ranks, they were highly attractive.

$u Jingxing was also tempted.

Or rather, no one wasn't.

Including Gu Zhanlin and Lu Wuchang!

"Calm down, everyone," said the old man with a smile.

"The Soul Nurturing Stone is indeed a great treasure, but!

"But for it to take effect, you need the full set.

"That's right. There's more than one Soul Nurturing Stone; there are 12 of them!

"Only by gathering all 12 Soul Nurturing Stones can you fully utilize the effects of Soul Nurturing.

"Why is this so?

"Because the Soul Nurturing Stones are man-made!

"They aren't formed naturally. Instead, they were molded by Empress Shadowmoon using array formations. No one knows why she created them, and that's also why many people have never heard of them.

"The Myriad Treasures Court went through hundreds of thousands of documents before finding some clues. In the end, we confirmed that this is a Soul Nurturing Stone!

"Unfortunately, we only received one Soul Nurturing Stone. We're not sure if the person who sent it has more.

"Therefore, the starting bid for this Soul Nurturing Stone is 100 million Great Yu dollars. The markup for every bid must not be lower than 10 million dollars.

"Briends, if you are interested, please state your bids."

With that said, the thick-browed old man raised the mallet and got ready.

"200 million," a fat middle-aged man swiftly shouted.

"300 million."

"400 million."

Even without the old man's encouragement, everyone else followed suit.

Every increment was 100 million dollars.

Wealthy people?

Among the attendees, other than Old Wang and his colleagues who tasked the Myriad Treasures Court to sell the Soul Nurturing Stone, the others were in no lack of money.

However, the real reason for their bids was not because they had nowhere to spend their money.

Rather, it was because the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stone were too attractive.

Even though there was only one piece, it was enough for everyone to take a gamble.

Su Jingxing did the same.

When the price reached 1.7 billion, he immediately called out "2 billion".

He marked up the price by 300 million in one go. Only then did the agitated crowd calm down.

2 billion Great Yu dollars was no longer a small amount.

Even the Li Family had to consider its gains and losses.

The Soul Nurturing Stone was good, but there was only one of them here out of a total of 12.

Did the seller have all the rest in their possession?

No one knew!

If they did, that would be fine.

But if they didn't, or did not have the complete set, this would be a huge loss.

Everyone fell silent as they pondered.

"20 billion going once."

Seeing this, the thick-browed old man shouted to work up the atmosphere. "Anyone else wants to raise the bid? 20 going twice! Anyone else? If you miss this opportunity, that's it. Do twice about the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stone."

There was still no response.

"Two billion going thrice!"

'When the thick-browed old man saw this, he rapped the hammer and announced in a clear voice, "Congratulations on winning the bid for the Soul Nurturing Stone, my friend. Please proceed backstage later for the transaction."

"Now, let's move on to the next item!"

With that said, the female martial artist put away the Soul Nurturing Stone, covered it with a red cloth, and temporarily moved it backstage.

Another female martial artist came onto the stage, holding an even larger plate in her hand.

On the plate was a rather large wooden box.

The wooden box was placed on the auction table, and the female martial artist opened it to reveal its interior.

It was a crimson red plant tuber, about 20 centimeters in length and as thick as an infant's arm.

'As soon as it was exposed to the air, a scorching aura emanated from it.

"Buddha Flame Root?"

Gu Zhanlin's surprised voice sounded.

"Nice!"

On the stage, the thick-browed old man glanced at Gu Zhanlin and laughed heartily. "This is a fire-attribute precious herb. It's naturally formed, and can be fused with any true energy, the Buddha Flame Root!

"Briends, if you need to add a flame attribute to your internal energy, or if you already have attributes such as flame, or pure sun, you can buy it to strengthen yourself.

"The starting bid for the Buddha Flame Root is 200 million Great Yu dollars. Each markup must not be less than five million dollars."

"300 million!"

"350 million!"

The crowd broke into an uproar.

However, compared to the Soul Nurturing Stone, the Flame Buddha Root only reached 500 million, and no one else continued bidding.

This was because the price had peaked.

The effects of the Buddha Flame Root were indeed miraculous; it could increase the flame attribute of one's true energy.

But they were not necessary, and came with conditions.

One had to have true energy attributes that were compatible in order to fuse them.

With the water, ice, or Yin attributes, fusing them would be courting death.

Therefore, 500 million Great Yu dollars was basically the maximum.

This 500 million dollars was still Su Jingxing's bid.

As expected, he won the bid.

The Heaven Trampling True Energy met the requirements for fusion, and Su Jingxing also wanted to add the flame attribute.

Even though the fusion wouldn't contribute much to the might of his true energy, in the future, when destroying all traces, he wouldn't need to douse the corpses with Corpse Dissolving Liquid anymore.

That's right. Su Jingxing's plan was simple.

He wanted to fuse with the Buddha Flame Root to facilitate the eradication of corpses.

Cough cough!

"Everyone, here's the last item."

On the stage, the old man with the thick eyebrows raised his voice.

"believe everyone is here for this item.

"Twon't beat around the bush. I just want to tell everyone that this item will not disappoint!"

With that said, he gestured for the two female martial artists waiting by the side to carry a large wooden chest up the stage.

All eyes were on the two of them.

'When the wooden chest was on the stage, the thick-browed old man waved his hand and a female martial artist opened it.

An item that everyone was familiar with was immediately exposed!

Chapter 207: A Shocking Turn of Events!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"How is this possible?!"

"Is this real or fake?"

"Good, very good. The Myriad Treasures Court lives up to its name!"

The auction hall was in an uproar.

The leaders of various factions were shouting or yelling.

Even Su Jingxing was shocked.

That was because the item that had been exposed was the stone tablet that all the major factions in Qinghe City had been pursuing lately.

The mysterious stone tablet that Leng Lin had captured floating on the surface of the Sky Water River.

The stone tablet which people had been deliberately trying to steer discussions to keep attention on online.

Before this, there were only photos of the stone tablet, but now, the real thing was presented before everyone.

No one knew who commissioned it to be auctioned off by the Myriad Treasures Court.

Every item auctioned by the Myriad Treasures Court had to be appraised beforehand.

Of course, it wouldn't be a problem if they were verified to be genuine.

Even for the items whose authenticity could not be verified, it would also be clarified during the auction, allowing the bidders to decide whether they wanted to bid it or not.

Of course, any item that made it to the auction stage, whether genuine or not, was extraordinary.

This was the reputation that the Myriad Treasures Court had built up over several hundred years.

So.

As soon as the mysterious stone tablet, which had attracted the attention of the entire city, was revealed on stage, the crowd erupted.

Without waiting for the thick-browed old man to open his mouth, all of them began bidding eagerly.

"One billion!"

"Two billion!"

"Five billion!"

All of a sudden, money didn't seem like money anymore.

Su Jingxing listened to the bids as he sensed the mysterious stone tablet.

The patterns on it were exactly the same as in the photo.

In fact, compared to the photo, looking at the real object, he could clearly feel the strange fluctuations contained in each of the patterns.

These fluctuations seemed to have a life of their own, they danced like musical notes whenever Su Jingxing sensed them.

So, Ka, Na, Si, Ma, Do.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the front row of the auction hall. It dashed onto the stage and wrapped around the mysterious stone tablet, turning into a ball of black mist.

Bam!

The black mist exploded and surged.

When it dissipated, the mysterious stone tablet was gone!

"Who did this?"

What incredible speed!

"They should still be nearby. Hurry up and give chase!"

The hall was a mess.

The crowd snapped out of their daze and quickly got on their way, moving towards the entrance.

The thick-browed old man was the third to react. He charged towards the exit.

The first and second were Gu Zhanlin and Lu Wuchang.

By the time the shadow rushed onto the stage, they were already on the move, hot on its heels with lightning speed.

Yan Yuanfeng and the others were already considered late.

Su Jingxing didn't move. Even though he had sensed the shadow the moment it appeared, he didn't give chase.

The stone tablet was indeed mysterious, but it was a hot potato. Countless factions had their eyes on it.

Su Jingxing was curious, but not in the mood to get involved.

In comparison, the Soul Nurturing Stone and the Buddha Flame Root were more attractive to him.

The sudden turn of events caused a huge commotion in the auction hall.

Happy to save his money, Su Jingxing headed backstage to retrieve the two treasures he had bid.

However, when he got backstage, someone was already there.

The Sect Master of the Divine Fist Sect, Di Donglei, together with Zhao Zhongyi of the Cross Alliance were fighting with three other people over the Soul Nurturing Stone and the Buddha Flame Root.

As for the staff of the Myriad Treasures Court, they had all collapsed on the ground, either unconscious, howling in pain, or groaning.

Su Jingxing stood at the entrance and took a few glances. Then, decisively, he backed away. Leaving through the window, he returned to the rooftop.

He released his powerful perception and used Advanced Hearing to listen to the movements beneath his feet.

He wanted to wait until a victor was decided between the two groups, and one party had completely fallen, to silence the other party. Yet, Di Donglei chased after Zhao Zhongyi, out of the building, and into the sky above the city.

Su Jingxing hung far behind them and locked onto their tracks.

They traveled south until they arrived at the Sky Water River. In the end, Di Donglei risked getting injured and was stabbed in the abdomen by Zhao Zhongyi's sword before he knocked Zhao Zhongyi into the Sky Water River. He then managed to seize the Soul Nurturing Stone and the Buddha Flame Root.

Pu!

Lying on the bank of the river, Di Donglei pressed down on his wound. As he caught his breath, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Clap! Clap!

Su Jingxing walked out from a corner, clapping his hands.

"Who's there?!" yelled Di Donglei, turning around.

His expression changed when he saw Su Jingxing's attire. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for the outcome to be decided between you two."

Lowering his voice, Su Jingxing chuckled. "As for who I am, there's no need for you to know."

Di Donglei remained silent, his face grim.

"You want to save your energy, don't you?"

Su Jingxing, continued, maintaining his composure, "It would be best if you can save my energy. At the very least, you won't have to suffer any more injuries…"

Boom!

A dull thud echoed.

Di Donglei suddenly threw a punch. The blazing light dispersed the night sky and headed straight for Su Jingxing.

Bam!

Energy surged through the air with a loud explosion.

Yet Su Jingxing disappeared from where he was standing.

Di Donglei's attack missed.

"That's not good."

Su Jingxing appeared about five meters away on Di Donglei's right. "Can't we get along peacefully? Why must we fight?"

Boom!

A blazing fist imprint burst forth with blinding light once again.

Swish!

Bam!

His figure flashed as he dodged the attack.

'When he came to a stop, Su Jingxing controlled a throwing dagger that flew through the air.

Plkch!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

"ah! Ah!"

Accompanied by Di Donglei's screams, the throwing dagger first pierced through his arm, then spun like a cutting machine and severed his palm.

In an instant, Di Donglei's injuries worsened, and he lost all his offensive power.

Hugging his severed hand, he shuffled on the ground, his eyes filled with fear.

He couldn't care less about the Soul Nurturing Stone and Buddha Flame Root he had stolen now.

In shock, anger, and indignance, he crawled up from the ground in a sorry state and tottered away.

Su Jingxing did not give chase and allowed him to leave.

When Di Donglei was more than 200 meters away, he then controlled the throwing dagger to shoot through the air like a bolt of lightning. When it caught up, it pierced through his head.

He extracted a card and stored it in his palm space.

Putting away the Soul Nurturing Stone and the Buddha Flame Root as well, Su Jingxing turned around and soared into the sky.

Along the way, he made an anonymous call to the crematorium's customer service office and informed them of the location of Di Donglei's corpse.

Back at his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

$u Jingxing took out both treasures and inspected them one by one.

The first was Soul Nurturing Stone, which was exactly the same as the one he had bought.

All 12 similar Soul Nurturing Stones had to be present to be effective.

The probability of him being able to gather all of them was too low.

Even the group of people Su Jingxing knew about didn't have 10 of them in their possession.

Therefore, he decided to leave these stones aside for now.

On the other hand, the Buddha Flame Root was a great item.

Su Jingxing had spent 500 million dollars on it.

He never expected that someone would be so bold as to seize the mysterious stone tablet directly at the auction venue. That saved him a big sum of money.

Now that an auction item had been stolen from the hall, the Myriad Treasures Court would undoubtedly be enraged. If they didn't capture the person who stole the stone tablet, their reputation built up over centuries would crumble overnight.

Therefore, the days ahead would be lively.

Su Jingxing paid close attention as he prepared to fuse with the Buddha Flame Root.

If he could increase the add a flame attribute to Heaven Trampling True Energy, he wouldn't need to make anonymous phone calls to the crematorium to get the Corpse Collection Teams to pick up corpses anymore.

This

His phone suddenly rang.

Su Jingxing snapped back to his senses and picked it up. It was a call from Shen Qian.

He immediately answered the call.

"Senior, the person who sold the strange Energy Gathering Stone previously contacted us again. He said he has a few more of those strange Energy Gathering Stones. Do you want them?"

"Yes!"

Su Jingxing stifled a laugh. "Answer him. I want the Energy Gathering Stones, but the price will be the same as before. If there's no problem, we can meet at the same time and place."

"Okay."

Shen Qian hung up.

"These guys sure react fast."

$u Jingxing laughed as he played with his phone.

News of a robbery at the Myriad Treasures Court would quickly spread.

The information of the Soul Nurturing Stone would also spread to the ears of the major factions.

Given the strength of the group of people who sold the Soul Cultivation Stone to Su Jingxing, once it was found that they were the owners of the Soul Cultivation Stone, there was no way they could fend any visitors off. They would soon be killed and the stones taken away.

Originally, this shouldn't happen.

After all, the Myriad Treasures Court had a good reputation and never asked for customer information.

However, even the Myriad Treasures Court had been implicated tonight. No one could guarantee that they would be able to keep the information privy.

As long as one wanted to investigate, they would eventually find out.

On top of that, these people did not have the complete set of Soul Nurturing Stones in their possession, so they had no use keeping them.

Rather than being put in a passive position and feeling jittery, getting nervous at the slightest disturbance, they might as well exchange them for a large sum of money so that they could settle this once and for all.

$u Jingxing had offered five million dollars per Soul Nurturing Stone. This price wasn't low.

Of course, for Old Wang, who had entrusted the Soul Nurturing Stone to the Myriad Treasures Court to auction, he would probably faint from crying in the toilet.

Not only was the sky-high price of two billion dollars gone, even five million dollars was now out of the question.

Although the Myriad Treasures Court would compensate him for the loss of the item, such compensation was limited. He still suffered a huge loss.

How could he not cry at such a blow?!

The phone rang again.

$u Jingxing answered the call. On the other end of the line, Shen Qian said quickly, "Senior, the other party has agreed to meet at the usual time and place!"

"Alright."

Su Jingxing replied before ending the call.

Then, he switched on his computer and transferred 30 million Great Yu dollars to Shen Qian's account.

Then, he changed into his usual attire.

'When it was about time, he headed for the Central Square.

He flew through the air and arrived at the pavilion.

It was not 11PM yet but a few people were already gathered in the pavilion.

Su Jingxing took a few glances through the air. They were the same group of men he had seen last time.

Immediately, he descended from the sky and walked out from a corner.

"It's him!"

The man who was looking around was the first to spot Su Jingxing. He pointed at him from a distance and shouted, "The big client is here! Get ready, brothers!"

"Cough, cough!"

The few of them straightened up immediately, each of them holding a box in their hands as they waited respectfully for Su Jingxing.

"Did you bring the items?"

'When Su Jingxing got close, he got straight to the point.

"Yes, yes, we did."

The man nodded hastily. Then, he motioned for his companions to open the boxes in their hands, revealing the Soul Nurturing Stones inside.

Hu! Hu!

With a wave of his hand, Su Jingxing released his true energy and controlled the Soul Nurturing Stones to float in the air.

Pieces of Soul Nourishing Stones flew towards him and he carefully sensed them.

After confirming that they were identical to the two he had already obtained, he waved his hand and stored the five Soul Nurturing Stones into his palm space.

Of course, in the eyes of the group, he had merely put them into his cloak.

Including these five, Su Jingxing now had a total of seven Soul Nurturing Stones.

suppressing his smile, he sent a text message to Shen Qian telling her to transfer the money.

Moments later, the phones of the few people beside the man all beeped.

They quickly took them out. When they saw a string of zeros on the screen, they were overjoyed and cheered excitedly.

"Thank you, thank you!"

They bowed respectfully to Su Jingxing before turning around and leaving.

"Wait," Su Jingxing called out softly.

The group froze in place, not daring to move.

They knew that Su Jingxing seemed to be a fourth-grade expert.

If they tried to escape forcefully after being targeted by a fourth-grade expert, their lives might be in danger.

Therefore, they stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move.

"Yes… Yes…"

"Relax," said Su Jingxing coolly. "I just want to ask a question."

"Please… go ahead."

$u Jingxing asked, "Which segment of the Sky Water River did you pick up these stones from?"

"Just… downstream, near the southern bank of the river," answered the man timidly.

"Was there anything else besides stones" Su Jingxing continued to probe.

"N-No."

"Are you sure?" asked Su Jingxing, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course, of course!" said the man, raising his hand. "At least I didn't find any other stones!"

"Me neither!"

"didn't either. There were only these rocks by the river back then. They looked good to us, so we took one each."

"Right, right. When we brought them home afterward, we realized that it felt comfortable holding these stones. Especially when we were sleeping."

"Sub-subsequently, when we heard about your acquisition of Energy Gathering Stones, we wondered if you wanted these stones too, so we contacted you."

The few of them began explaining the entire situation in detail with each person chiming in here and that.

They were afraid that Su Jingxing would disregard his reputation and lay his hands on them.

Su Jingxing fell into deep thought after listening to what they said.

His powerful perception told him that these people weren't lying.

However, it was somewhat surprising that there were only Soul Nurturing Stones and nothing else.

"It's fine now, you guys can leave," said Su Jingxing, signaling the man and his companions to leave.

Upon hearing this, the group fled at once and were gone in a flash.

Su Jingxing stayed where he was. As usual, he locked onto them using his perception.

After putting some distance between them, he sprang into the air and tailed them.

That's right.

With his powerful perception, he could tell that they were telling the truth.

But they could only share half or even less of it!

As long as they deliberately controlled themselves, Su Jingxing wouldn't be able to sense it.

He chose to let them go and follow behind them.

Once the group of men relaxed, there was a good chance that they would reveal whatever they had concealed.

Which was exactly what Su Jingxing wanted to know.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The night wind blew.

As Su Jingxing flew through the air, his body shifted rapidly, almost invisible to ordinary people.

He hung behind the man and his companions from a distance and came to a house in an estate.

After closing the door and windows, the few of them slumped into their chairs and panted heavily.

Hiding in a corner downstairs, Su Jingxing activated Advanced Hearing to listen in on their movements.

Moments later.

"Tell me, what should we do with the flag?"

Chapter 208: Shocking!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There is indeed more!

Su Jingxing perked up.

These fellows. They insisted that there were only the stones earlier on.

Now that there is a flag, it's clear they intentionally concealed it.

One can probably tell that this flag is extraordinary with the naked eye.

That's why this bunch of people deliberately chose to ignore it.

Yet, they're starting to panic and want to get rid of it now.

What kind of flag could have been discovered together with the Soul Nurturing Stone?

$u Jingxing thought to himself. He held his breath and continued listening.

"Must we deal with it?"

"Why? You want to keep it until it's exposed?"

"That big client already has his eyes on us. He's a fourth-grade martial artist. Are you sure you want to go toe-to-toe with him?"

"That's not what I meant. I just find it a pity. We can tell at one glance that this flag isn't an ordinary item. In my opinion, it looks a little like an ancient war flag!"

"It does look a lot like a war flag. In ancient times, anything that could be chosen to be a war flag would have a certain use, which makes it a rare treasure or a spirit weapon!"

"Heh, it doesn't matter whether it's a rare treasure or a spirit weapon. Is there anyone here who can control it?"

"Why have you stopped talking? Keep going! Since no one can control it, are we going to court death by keeping it?"

"Things haven't progressed to that stage yet, Old Li. The situation is a little chaotic right now, and we are being targeted. For the sake of everyone's safety, we decided to take care of this flag."

"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, the mysterious stone tablet, the Soul Nurturing Stone and this flag all came from the same place! They only reappeared because of the commotion in the Sky Water River and were discovered!"

"Now, we know what kind of treasure the Soul Nurturing Stone is and that the flag is also very special. Needless to say, all the major factions in the city are vying for the mysterious stone tablet. If we keep the flag, not only will the big client who bought the Soul Nurturing Stone come looking for us, all the

major factions in the city will as well!

"Rather than being forced to hand over the flag then, we might as well get rid of it now.

"The question is, how should we deal with it? Look at it. It's been charging for more than a month, and it doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I could never imagine a flag that could "eat" electric currents."

"That's because you…"

Ooh~

Crack! Crack!

"What's going on? Power failure?"

"No, look at the flag!"

Shouts of alarm filled the room.

Su Jingxing even heard the sound of an electric arc exploding.

It seems like there's a blackout?

And the flag that is surrounded by a bunch of people has undergone some sort of change?

Just as he was pondering—

Bam!

A loud crack broke the silence.

Su Jingxing, who was leaning against a corner, looked out the window when he heard the commotion. He saw a dark shadow breaking through the night sky and flying into the distance.

'The war flag?

The charging flag escaped?

'As soon as the thought emerged in his mind, Su Jingxing was already moving.

Similarly, he darted out of the window at lightning speed and soared into the night sky. His speed increased to the maximum as he locked onto the black shadow and gave chase swiftly.

However, Su Jingxing soon realized that he wouldn't be able to catch up to it with his lightness skill.

He decisively took out the Thunderbolt, enlarged it, and stepped on it. Driving it with the Divine Spirit Control Technique, he traveled at the speed of sound at once.

Then, his speed doubled, tripled, quadrupled, quintupled and sextupled!

Back when he was at the limits of the human body, Su Jingxing could only fly at four times the speed of sound.

After obtaining the Transcendent Body Card, his physique had undergone a qualitative change. His maximum speed could now reach six times the speed of sound.

With this speed, he managed to catch up to the black shadow.

'When he got close enough to his target, he realized that the black shadow was indeed a large and wide flag.

It was entirely black, and only had a crimson moon embroidered on the upper right comer.

At this moment, this flag was flying through the air at high speed, tearing through the night wind and flapping in the wind.

The direction it was flying towards was the Green Cloud Mountain!

Both of them were flying at high speeds.

Su Jingxing chased after the flag. One after another, they soon arrived above the Green Cloud Mountain.

Whoosh!

After entering the borders of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, the war flag suddenly accelerated and charged into the depths, disappearing from sight.

Su Jingxing followed suit and flew out of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

But the war flag was gone.

He lost it!

"It stayed on Green Cloud Mountain?"

Su Jingxing turned around and returned to the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

This time, he slowed down and circled around the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain. He paced back and forth in the sky, sensing for the fluctuations of the war flag.

Finally, he sensed something deep in the center.

However, he couldn't pinpoint the exact location.

It seemed like the fully charged war flag had found its source?

The source of the Sky Water River was none other than Green Cloud Mountain.

Compared to the place where the Flying Lions members sealed themselves, the place where Su Jingxing was currently loitering was the true center and deepest part of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

'There were many stories going around about the center region of the Green Cloud Mountain Range

Some said that the strongest experts had been buried here, some said that there were peerless treasures buried deep in the center, and others said that Green Cloud Mountain was a burial ground, and the center of it all was a cemetery.

Different versions of various stories had been circulating for more than a thousand years.

No one knew the truth.

While the disappearance of the war flag in this region served to confirm that there were secrets in this center area, it also highlighted the extraordinary nature of the war flag.

Su Jingxing hovered in the air, pondering the matter for a while, but eventually decided against investigating it.

Firstly, he had no idea where the war flag came from or what its specific function was.

Even if he found it and kept it in his possession, it might not be of use to him.

Secondly, when Su Jingxing was listening in on the group's conversation earlier, he thought that one of the men was very right.

The mysterious stone tablet, the Soul Nurturing Stones, and the war flag all came from the same place!

If these three items came from the same place, it meant that they might have some sort of connection.

Su Jingxing had seven Soul Nurturing Stones in his possession. If he went back and studied them carefully, he might be able to find out what this connection was.

Thirdly, there was a high chance that the war flag wouldn't leave again after returning to this place.

'There was no need for Su Jingxing to search for it urgently. Keeping it here wouldn't affect him much.

Finally, there was danger in the center region of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

The level of danger was quite high. Even though no one knew what it was, Su Jingxing could feel an indistinct threat coming from the ground as he flew through the air.

If he landed down rashly, he might end up getting into trouble there.

With these factors combined, Su Jingxing decisively left and returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

The first thing he did when he got back was to take out the seven Soul Nurturing Stones and put them together to see if he could find any secrets.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything even after examining them for a long time.

Apart from the strange sense of comfort growing stronger with the increase in the number of stones, there was nothing else.

They did not contact the war flag or the mysterious stone tablet at all.

In the end, Su Jingxing had no choice but to give up and put away the seven Soul Nurturing Stones, ignoring them.

Only when he had a complete set of 12 Soul Nurturing Stones would they be effective.

Su Jingxing had no idea where the last five pieces were, so he could only keep them for now.

He decided to leave this matter aside temporarily.

Su Jingxing took out the card he had extracted from Di Donglei's corpse.

'The Function Card from a fourth-grade expert should not disappoint.

Skill Cards or True Energy Cards were both fine.

However, when he held the card in his hand and read the information, the feedback he received stunned him.

Memory Card!

He had actually extracted the memories of Di Donglei's life.

Su Jingxing unlocked the card and watched Di Donglei's life as though it were a movie.

Ever since he was a child, this Sect Master of the Divine Fist Sect had been the center of attention. Be it in school, practicing martial arts, or wooing girls, he was the envy of others.

After all, Di Donglei's father was the previous Sect Master of the Divine Fist Sect.

Di Donglei was a second-generation martial artist who had inherited his father's legacy.

Of course, he was also very talented. Ten years ago, he had stepped into the fourth-grade. Similar to Su Jingxing, half of his 90-year true energy cultivation had been converted into true fluid.

'The Martial Art True Intent he wanted to condense was a statue.

That's right. In Di Donglei's memory, there was a statue left behind by his father. It held great significance and could be used as a weapon. It was incomparably tough.

'When Di Donglei's father was alive, he had also condensed a statue as his Martial Art True Intent. However, he had only succeeded halfway before dying.

'When the statue was handed to Di Donglei, he spent days and nights trying to figure it out, but to no avail.

However, he had learned about the origin of the statue from his father before his death.

The Celestial Pole Sect!

An ancient sect that had existed for over a thousand years and was on the same level as the Hundred Flower Valley, the Celestial Pole Sect.

Di Donglei's father turned out to be a disciple of the Celestial Pole Sect when he was young.

However, due to an incident, he was evicted from the sect. That was when he returned to Qinghe City and established the Divine Fist Sect.

Di Donglei's father had not shared what incident it was. The old man simply handed some of his belongings to Di Donglei.

The strange statue was one of them.

There were also a few scrolls of beast skin parchment that contained secret affairs.

These beast skin parchments had given Di Donglei a lot of information that he didn't know.

For example, the location of the Celestial Pole Sect.

For such ancient sects that had existed for more than a thousand years, the entrances to their sects would always be hidden by massive array formations. Ordinary people or average martial artists would never be able to locate them.

However, Di Donglei learned of the location of the Celestial Pole Sect through the beast skin parchments, as well as the way to enter the array formation.

Another example was the general situation of the major factions in the 18 prefectures of the Yu Nation.

There were introductions to organizations like Ci En Bank, the Golden Chen Family, the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce and so on.

Another example, beyond the first-grade was the Transcendent-grade!

On Earth Star, Transcendent-grade martial artists had a unique title.

Martial Sage!

Su Jingxing had no idea about this either. Ethereal Sword Immortal did not mention it, nor was she aware.

Thanks to Di Donglei's memories, Su Jingxing was able to glean this secret information from the contents of the beast skin parchments.

'Transcendent-grade martial artists were also known as Martial Sages.

According to the contents of the beast skin parchment, the title "Martial Sage" would often carry two more words in front.

Kingdom Defending!

Why were they called the Kingdom Defending Martial Sages?

There were no records about that on the beast skin parchment, and Di Donglei had no way of learning about it.

When his father was alive, he never told him these secrets.

All he knew was that a nation's dynasty would collapse quickly without a Martial Sage.

This had been the case since ancient times.

This must be the origin of the "Kingdom Defending Martial Sage", Di Donglei had guessed.

'When Su Jingxing "saw' this, his heart skipped a few beats uncontrollably.

Every nation had a Martial Sage.

Wouldn't that mean that with 13 nations in the Eastern Continent and nine countries in the Western Continent, that there were 22 Martial Sages on the continents alone?

Yet, the world did not know about the existence of Martial Sages; they only knew about the strongest first-grade.

Most martial artists, and even third-grade powerhouses, were also unaware.

Su Jingxing couldn't figure out the reason for this.

In short, through Di Donglei's memories, Su Jingxing's horizons had broadened.

Above first-grade was the Transcendent-grade. Martial artists in this grade were also known as Kingdom Defending Martial Sages.

Every Martial Sage could live for 360 years.

This was the increase in lifespan due to the change in life levels when one moved from first-grade to the Transcendent-grade.

Liu Chenglong made Su Jingxing swear an oath to protect the Yu Nation for a hundred years.

From the looks of it, that seemed somewhat unnecessary.

Even though they ultimately negotiated the duration to be only 10 years, with Martial Sages guarding the world, would they need a young man like him, who wasn't even a third-grade martial artist, to protect it?

Watching till the end of Di Donglei's memory, Su Jingxing was filled with excitement.

The mysterious stone tablet that all the factions in the city were after actually had to do with the legacy of the Martial Sages!

Not the Martial Sages of the Yu Nation, but the Martial Sage of the dynasty before Yu Nation came to be.

The Crimson Moon Martial Sage!

'The Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu.

This was the secret information that Di Donglei had learned from the beast skin parchments.

However, in the historical records, Yue Dongliu was merely a prince of the previous dynasty.

The Prince of Crimson Moon!

According to records, the Prince of Crimson Moon, Yue Dongliu had kept an extremely low profile in the imperial family of the previous dynasty and wasn't particularly strong.

No one knew how he died in the end.

It had been a thousand years since his era.

Di Donglei made a conclusion after comparing the contents of the beast skin parchments with the patterns on the mysterious stone tablet.

This stone tablet was related to the legacy of the Crimson Moon.

He even suspected that the major forces who were attending the auction at the Myriad Treasures Court tonight also knew about this.

'That the mysterious stone tablet was closely related to the legacy of the Crimson Moon.

Or rather, if one found the secret of the stone tablet, they would be able to locate the legacy ground left behind by Crimson Moon Martial Sage.

The legacy of the Martial Sage was many times stronger than the treasures stored in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

It was reasonable for the major factions to go crazy over it.

On that note, Di Donglei was only suspicious. The reason why he had taken advantage of the situation to seize the Soul Nurturing Stone from the Myriad Treasures Court was to verify this theory.

According to the beast skin parchments, the Prince of Crimson Moon, Yue Dongliu seemed to have obtained the legacy of the Great Moon Empire from 3,000 years ago.

Unfortunately, Su Jingxing ultimately got lucky.

Through the charged war flag that rushed to the center area of the Green Cloud Mountain Range on its own accord, Su Jingxing could almost be certain that Di Donglei's guess was correct.

The mysterious stone tablet, the Soul Nurturing Stones, and the war flag were all related to the Crimson Moon Martial Sage!

It was highly likely that the depths of the center of the Green Cloud Mountain Range was the legacy ground of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu!

"Ts…"

Su Jingxing sucked in a cold breath of air at the thought.

This is too shocking, really too shocking!

The secret had been revealed too quickly, too fiercely, and too shockingly.

Su Jingxing was momentarily stunned.

After a while, he took deep breaths to calm himself down and mulled over the situation.

"If the depths of the center of the Green Cloud Mountain Range is really the legacy ground of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, what could be the function of the mysterious stone tablet that all the factions are vying for?"

"A map? A key?"

Su Jingxing couldn't figure it out.

This matter was getting more complicated.

Even though not many people knew about the existence of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, quite a number did right now.

'They were currently limited to the factions in Qinghe City. Once the news got out

No!

Hasn't the Hundred Flower Valley already sent people to Qinghe City?

"The disciple who was reduced to a mummy couldn't have come to Qinghe City because of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, could she?"

Agleam flashed across Su Jingxing's eyes.

"If that's the case, then the murderer who murdered a disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley must have been after the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage!"

Chapter 209: Exclusive Blade?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"How did they know that the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage is in Qinghe City?

"Photos?

"Yes, the photo!

"Leng Lin took a photo of the mysterious stone tablet by the river and out of curiosity, uploaded it online, thereby attracting the attention of relevant insiders!

"The Hundred Flower Valley has Wang Tiedao, the Changyang Prefecture Army has garrisoned troops, and Lu Wuchang came to Qinghe before the new year. Through who did the murderer of the disciple from the Hundred Flower Valley find out about the photo of the stone tablet then?

"Or has the murderer been in Qinghe City all this time?"

Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes.

After a series of analyses, he was pretty close to the truth.

Even though he had no idea who the murderer was, Su Jingxing had a strong hunch that this murderer and the black shadow who had stolen the stone tablet from the Myriad Treasures Court's auction were most likely the same person!

This person had been in Qinghe City the whole time!

'The target of these factions was the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage.

With this in mind, for some reason, Su Jingxing began to look forward to seeing the Crimson Moon's legacy.

This is a Martial Sage's legacy. Anyone will be tempted by it.

We just don't know what the legacy contains.

Iwill be at a loss for words if it turns out to be the same as the treasure in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

Even though Liu Chenglong's Martial Art True Intent, the Sishui Horned Dragons, was pretty good, and the materialized worldly energy ball was also very good, none of the rare treasures and spirit weapons that Liu Chenglong owned when he was alive were placed in the mausoleum.

Even the defensive Transcendent Body Card was something that Su Jingxing obtained using his own cheat ability.

The legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage shouldn't be that petty. It should contain a lot of good stuff, right?

Su Jingxing thought to himself.

However, there were many people who wanted the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage.

Even if Su Jingxing was tempted, there was nothing he could do.

Now that the mysterious stone tablet had been snatched away, no one knew whose hands it had ended up in.

Everyone had their eyes on the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage. It would be extremely difficult to get hold of it.

Of course, compared to others, Su Jingxing had at least one more advantage.

'That was to say, there was a 90% chance that he had discovered the location of the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage.

Deep in the center of the Green Cloud Mountain Range!

It wouldn't be easy for others to find that place.

Opening the legacy ground was yet another troublesome matter.

Therefore, Su Jingxing had all the time in the world to slowly come into contact with the legacy ground.

Before that, he had to get stronger.

After "watching" all the memories, Su Jingxing took out the Buddha Flame Root.

This treasure was a chip to increase his strength.

By infusing it with the Heaven Trampling True Energy, its power would be boosted!

As for how to consume the Buddha Flame Root?

Instinctively, Su Jingxing locked onto the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

Boiling it in the Dragon Melting Cauldron could 100% preserve its energy, and the resulting potions would be easier to absorb and digest.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing took out the Dragon Melting Cauldron and controlled his true energy to cleanse this spirit weapon cauldron.

Having been used by the He Family to boil human flesh and blood for hundreds of years, the residual aura on the Dragon Melting Cauldron was extremely strong.

Su Jingxing cleansed it with his true energy; a day wasn't enough.

He continued on the second day and the third.

On the morning of the fourth day, he finally managed to get rid of all the residual aura on the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

Satisfied, he placed the Flaming Buddha Root into the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

$u Jingxing who had been exuding his true energy for four days did not immediately expend his true energy to boil the pot.

Instead, he stopped to rest and recover.

The amount of true energy required to cleanse the Dragon Melting Cauldron was limited.

The true excessive consumption came with burning true energy to cook the Buddha Flame Roots.

Each time the He Family cooked, they had three people taking turns.

This was because the flow of true energy could not stop during the cooking process.

Therefore, since Su Jingxing had to boil the pot alone, he had to persevere all the way at once.

He wondered if more than 800 years of true energy cultivation was enough.

Fortunately, Su Jingxing had a True Energy Card reserves that could replenish his true energy anytime.

That was where his confidence lay.

After a short break, he was about to put the lid back on the pot when a bright blade beam flashed across the sides of the pot.

"What's going on?"

$u Jingxing raised his eyebrows, removed the lid, and scrutinized the sides.

'The Dragon Melting Cauldron that had been cleansed was bright and clean, similar to an ordinary, enlarged version of a clay pot.

But on closer inspection, one would find that it was made of metal, with black on the outside and golden on the inside.

Had Su Jingxing not been sharp-eyed enough and missed the flash of the blade, he would have thought it was a reflection on the inside.

He inspected the pot carefully, his eyes fixed on the golden inner walls.

Five minutes later, another blade beam flashed past!

"Why are there blade flashes on the walls?"

"Oris this the effect of the Dragon Melting Cauldron? To slice through the food stored within using the flickering of blade beams?"

Su Jingxing was in thought.

A moment later, he took out the Buddha Flame Root. Then, he focused his attention on sensing the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

Swish!

As soon as they came into contact, the strange sound of a blade aura slicing through flesh resounded in Su Jingxing's mind.

Swish!

Then, there was another slash.

Swish!

Swish!

Slashes came one after another. It seemed like there really was a saber on the inside of the Dragon Melting Cauldron that was moving and slicing through the air.

But that was only on the surface!

Su Jingxing's soul power was powerful enough.

The strange sound of the blade energy slicing through flesh echoed in his mind, but it did not affect his soul or mind.

It was like a piece of recorded music.

'The Dragon Melting Cauldron was the medium and anyone with a spiritual connection could hear it!

However, as he focused his senses on the music and continued deepening his perception, Su Jingxing really did hear the sound of a blade vibrating!

No one knew where the blade was, but due to a certain connection it had with the Dragon Melting Cauldron, its vibration could be heard through the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

'The direct expression of that was blade beams flashing on the inner walls of the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

Blade, pot.

"Could it be that this blade from who knows where is part of a set with the Dragon Melting Cauldron? They were crafted together?

"And that's why they share a connection?"

Su Jingxing started working his brains.

He recalled that the spirit weapon kitchen knife He Lieren used when he was alive might not have been the original one.

The unknown blade was the true match for the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

'The He Family had most likely gotten the kitchen knife by themselves subsequently.

'The He Family didn't know that the Dragon Melting Cauldron came with a special blade, or rather, they knew, but could not get their hands on it.

'That would explain the mysterious connection between the blade gleam and the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

"The blade exclusive to the Dragon Melting Cauldron has been vibrating non-stop. This means that this blade is also a spirit weapon, and it hasn't acknowledged a master!"

It was impossible for such a situation to happen to a spirit weapon with an owner.

'There was definitely something wrong with it if it kept vibrating non-stop.

"Where is the blade?"

Su Jingxing's interest was piqued.

It was an exclusive blade of the Dragon Melting Cauldron, and a spirit weapon that had yet to recognize its owner.

If he could get his hands on it, his strength would undoubtedly be significantly boosted once again.

Thunderbolt required charging, and he dared not use it recklessly.

A blade exclusive to the Dragon Melting Cauldron shouldn't have a problem. He could use it as he pleased.

'The question was, where was it?

'The connection between it and the Dragon Melting Cauldron had been established from the very beginning thanks to the custom effects of spirit weapons.

It had nothing to do with distance.

Therefore, he had to think of another way to find the blade.

Injecting true energy?

It didn't work.

The blade beam continued to flash at a fixed frequency, but the Dragon Melting Cauldron did not react.

Heating the bottom of the cauldron with true energy?

It was useless.

The nature of the Dragon Melting Cauldron determined its function.

'The connection it had with the blade was only an exception. Yet when he really got into contact with it, there was nothing unusual.

He increased his soul power to continue sensing, but he could still hear the vibration after some time.

It became faster and slower, but never changed.

Su Jingxing tried all kinds of methods, but to no avail.

"Hold on."

Suddenly, Su Jingxing recalled something.

'The Dragon Melting Cauldron was Liu Chenglong's spirit weapon when he was alive, even if it was just used for cooking.

If… if Liu Chenglong wanted to control it, would that also establish a connection?

The tool used for the connection was the Martial Art True Intent, the Sishui Horned Dragons!

With that in mind, Su Jingxing released the Sishui Horned Dragon and it circled him once.

Finally, it dived straight into the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

Buzz!

The Dragon Melting Cauldron let out a tremor and distorted the air.

Under the stimulation of the Sishui Horned Dragon, the Dragon Melting Cauldron, which had been inactive earlier, suddenly shook violently.

Tap tap tap!

The bottom of the Dragon Melting Cauldron touched the ground, emitting strange sounds.

Like it was dancing, shaking non-stop.

At this moment, the entire cauldron seemed to come alive. The inner walls shone brightly with golden light, and a black horned dragon was circling around the outer wall of the pot. From time to time, it would raise its head and roar into the sky.

Roar!

Buzz!

Roar!

Buzz!

A dragon's roar and a buzzing vibration echoed one another at a distance.

At an unknown distance, the Dragon Melting Cauldron and its exclusive blade were successfully connected, calling out to each other.

Through this "connection", Su Jingxing finally sensed the exact location of this blade.

Southwest!

To his southwest, but it was unknown how far away it was.

However, as long as he flew in the southwest direction, he would be able to find this exclusive blade.

If the connection broke midway, he would be able to reestablish it by releasing the Sishui Horned Dragons and putting it into the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

Therefore, Su Jingxing was going to take this blade!

Compared to a spirit weapon, he was no longer in a hurry to fuse with the Buddha Flame Root.

Putting away the Dragon Melting Cauldron and the Buddha Flame Root, Su Jingxing quickly left the house. After putting on his equipment, he got ready to head southwest.

However, as soon as he entered the back mountain and soared into the sky, he heard a loud bang coming from Qinghe City.

Boom!

A dull explosion resounded through half of Qinghe City.

Su Jingxing stopped in his tracks and looked towards the source of the sound.

In the air above the region between the Western and Southern Districts, two figures were clashing fiercely, launching powerful attacks at each other.

As they fought, they rose into the air or charged towards the ground.

One of them was a black-robed figure whose face could not be seen clearly.

'The other was a long-haired woman with an extraordinary aura. She was noble and elegant. She swung a long sword and fought the black-robed man.

'The two of them attacked without any scruples. As her sword swung down, if the sword energies were not dispersed, they would rush to the ground or slice tall buildings in half.

Huge cracks appeared on the ground, and all the glass on both sides of the road had shattered.

Some of the innocent people who were unable to dodge in time died on the spot, and miserable cries sounded non-stop.

Likewise, the black-robed man struck out with his palm like the wind, transforming his claws into evil spirits. In a flash, he released claw winds that tore through the air, destroyed buildings, and shattered houses.

In less than half a minute, the two of them had destroyed two streets.

"Stop!"

Before Su Jingxing could make a move, an angry yell resounded in the city.

Swish!

A blinding light, accompanied by a huge shadow, rushed out of a building towards the two people fighting in the air.

Rip!

Boom!

'The strange sound of air tearing spread through half the city.

'The huge explosion sounded like a missile detonating, emitting intense light and heat.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Spear shadows!

Dense spear shadows surrounded the long-haired woman and the black-robed man in the midst of the backlight, forcing them to burst into the sky.

"yan Zi! I can understand your desire for revenge, but please go somewhere else for that! Go outside the city and into the mountains. You can vent all you want. Even if you blow up the mountain, no one will care!"

A deep roar reverberated through the air.

A tall figure charged into the sky with a spear in hand.

Ina low position, he issued a warning to the long-haired woman in the high position and took action.

As he spoke, the spear in his hand brought with it waves of backlight, forcing the black-robed man to continuously retreat, retreat, and retreat.

Until

Roar!

Ahideous snake with three heads and a length of more than ten meters stretched out from behind the black-robed man's head. It pounced at the tall figure with a snarl.

It swallowed the spear shadows that the other party had thrust out one by one.

Whoosh!

Flowers bloomed under the long-haired woman's feet at the right time, and the air around her distorted.

Ahuge peony flower appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

'The flower spun, and the stamen emitted gas.

The long-haired woman sat on it. With a wave of her hand, she controlled the peony flower to crush the right-most head of the three-headed snake.

Roar!

The remaining two heads of the snake roared sinisterly.

The black-robed man controlling it suddenly flashed. With a bang, he turned into a black mist and exploded in the air.

"Trying to escape?"

The long-haired woman shouted coldly as she sat on the peony flower and formed seals with her hands.

Swish!

The peony flower swiftly flew south like a high-speed jet.

"Hmph!"

The tall figure held his spear in his hand and chased after them.

'They were very fast. One after another, they disappeared into the air.

'When the chaotic aura in the sky dissipated completely, the sky was clear again.

On the ground, the hiding crowd finally returned to the street. Looking at the sky, they shouted, yelled, and discussions rose.

'Those who suffered an undeserved catastrophe, and died, or were severely injured could only accept their bad luck.

This was because this was the result of the aftermath of the battle between two third-grade experts.

'There was nowhere to seek justice.

Had it not been for the tall figure with the spear coming out to stop them, the damage would have been more than two streets.

If third-grade experts were to fight freely, the terrifying aftermath could turn half of Qinghe City into ruins.

"Who are these two people?"

Su Jingxing stopped in midair and frowned in thought.

Yan Zi?

The long-haired woman is called Yan Zi? Her Martial Art True Intent is a peony flower.

"Wait, flower?"

Su Jingxing's eyes lit up. He thought of something and murmured in a low voice, "Is this woman from the Hundred Flower Valley?

"That's right. She's probably the elder from the Hundred Flower Valley who came to investigate their disciple's cause of death.

"Tm not sure about black-robed man.

"And the tall man with the long spear, he's most likely the reinforcement for the Martial Suppression Office, a third-grade expert, a Universal Envoy!"

"Twonder what grade the Universal Envoy who uses a spear is in?"

Su Jingxing murmured.

Third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade were collectively called the top ranks.

'What grade would this tall man with a spear be in?

"Heh, who cares what grade he's in, as long as he's in the top ranks!"

Su Jingxing shook his head and laughed.

Now that an expert of the Martial Suppression Office had arrived in Qinghe City, the major factions in the city had to settle down even if they didn't want to.

"Twonder how many people came?"

$u Jingxing muttered and tumed around to continue his journey.

Whoosh!

He took out Thunderbolt and enlarged it. Stepping on it, he wrapped his entire body with true energy and circulated the Divine Spirit Control Technique.

'The man and sword headed southwest.

As he was searching for the exclusive blade of the Dragon Melting Cauldron, he did not dare to move too fast. He maintained double the speed of sound and flew in the sky.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Strong winds howled in his ears, and the ground retreated beneath his feet.

Before long, Su Jingxing left Changyang Prefecture.

As he was controlling a spirit weapon, he did not have to worry about the interference of chaotic magnetic fields from certain places on the ground.

High in the air, Su Jingxing was flying in a straight line.

He flew southwest at double the speed of sound.

Every time a bird in the sky came close, he circulated the pressure from 800 years of true energy cultivation to repel it far away.

He ensured that there were no obstructions on the way and proceeded steadily.

After flying out of another prefecture, Su Jingxing took out the Dragon Melting Cauldron and released the Sishui Horned Dragons into it, restoring the connection guiding him.

Perhaps due to the shortening of the distance, the connection between the Dragon Melting Cauldron and the blade became stronger.

Su Jingxing simply held the Dragon Melting Cauldron in his hands and followed this increasingly strong connection into another prefecture.

'The Sifang Prefecture.

He flew past half of the prefecture and arrived above a vast forest.

At this point, the connection between the Dragon Melting Cauldron and its exclusive blade had climbed to the highest level.

Flying above the sea of trees, he sniffed the fragrance in the air.

Su Jingxing stopped when he was above a stretch of ancient tree that was hundreds of meters tall.

He had arrived at his destination!

Outside of this area, the connection between the Dragon Melting Cauldron and the blade became weaker.

'When he returned here, it became stronger.

This change clearly told Su Jingxing that this area was where the exclusive blade was.

The lush forest was filled with the fragrance of dozens of miles.

This also told Su Jingxing where this place was.

The Ten Miles Fragrance Forest!

A forest where its fragrance could be picked up from ten miles away.

It was a famous perilous land in the Sifang Prefecture and Yu Nation.

Although the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range were also dangerous, it was not a perilous land.

But the Ten Miles Fragrance Forest was.

It was clear how dangerous this place was.

'This was especially true for the area where Su Jingxing was currently. Old trees that were hundreds of meters tall, huge tree crowns, dense leaves and branches that extended out were crowded together, completely concealing the situation on the ground.

A place like this was clearly perilous.

If it were anyone else, even if they were in the fifth-grade or fourth-grade, they would not dare to step into it easily.

But Su Jingxing wasn't afraid.

His powerful perception swept downwards, he didn't sense much danger.

Immediately, he put away Thunderbolt and prepared to land on the ground.

While landing, he executed the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique to ensure that not a trace of his aura was leaked.

As he passed through the dense foliage, he activated Advanced Hearing and listened to his surroundings.

However, before he landed, a throwing dagger flew out first.

Swish!

Plkch!

'The sound of rushing wind was followed by a strange sound of penetration.

A two-meter-long green lizard suddenly revealed itself on a thick branch. There was a bloody hole in its head, and it laid on the branch, dead.

Achameleon!

It changed its skin color to blend into his surroundings.

Moreover, its aura was not leaked at all. If Su Jingxing had not heard its weak heartbeat, he would not have discovered it anytime soon.

Swish!

'The treasure throwing daggers broke through the wind again.

Plkch!

'The head of a multi-colored giant snake as thick as a human's thigh was pierced through. Its body that was wrapped around an old tree lost its strength and immediately fell. With a plop, it fell into a bush that was as tall as a person.

A strange rustling sound came from the bushes.

Su Jingxing floated 10 meters above the ground and slowly moved forward according to the Dragon Melting Cauldron's senses.

As he restrained his aura, he also held his breath.

'The fragrance in the air was a little sweet, but after inhaling it, one would feel dizzy.

It was poisonous!

With his profound true energy cultivation, it wouldn't be a problem for him to not breathe for an hour or two.

For this, Su Jingxing held the Dragon Melting Cauldron and floated silently in midair.

He only stopped when he reached a wide cave.

It was a huge cave more than 30 meters in diameter. There was not a single plant at its periphery. The ground was also full of potholes that were piled up with dark green mucus.

'Without needing to breathe, just by approaching the cave entrance, one could see with the naked eye wisps of purplish-black mist floating out from the bottom of the cave.

An invisible suppression was accompanied by a palpitating restlessness and provoked one's nerves.

Under the dense foliage, this dark cave was like the mouth of a giant beast, attempting to devour everything.

The Dragon Melting Cauldron's exclusive blade is actually in such a place.

How did it get here?

Su Jingxing became vigilant and did not slow down his movements.

With a leap, he pressed close to the cave wall and entered the cave.

Circulating Night Vision and Distant Vision, the situation in the cave quickly came into view.

Moving less than 20 meters downwards he saw small holes on the wall.

Of course, these small holes were only small as compared to the cave. In fact, each hole was about two meters in diameter.

From time to time, sounds that would tickle the depths of one's heart would come from the densely packed holes.

Chirps and hisses.

Su Jingxing tried his best to stick to the walls with no holes and slowly descend.

50 meters.

70 meters.

100 meters.

He descended for more than 500 meters before reaching the bottom.

Standing in a pile of bones, Su Jingxing looked around. Under his Night Vision, an incomparably spacious underground cave presented a different scene.

'The upside-down stalactites hung from the dome, the highest was a hundred meters above the ground.

'The towering rocks were piled up together. From afar, they looked like burial mounds.

Lumps of sticky liquid could be seen everywhere on the walls, ground, and rocks.

'As he was holding his breath, Su Jingxing did not catch the strange smell in the air, nor would he do so.

Advanced Hearing was still activated, and he continued to listen to the surroundings.

Badump! Badump!

Faint heartbeats sounded clearly by his ears.

However, when he looked up, he only saw rubble or walls.

Invisibility!

'These invisible creatures were no surprise. They were similar to the big lizard that Su Jingxing had killed back on the surface.

It could change its skin color and blend into the surroundings to achieve invisibility.

In other words, this is a lizard nest?

Moreover, these big lizards seem to be sleeping.

Su Jingxing had restrained his aura and his heartbeat could barely be heard.

However, his body was not invisible. Currently, he was exposed to the air. The nearest heartbeat was less than 10 meters away.

If the big lizards had seen him, they wouldn't have remained indifferent.

'Their heartbeats and breathing also matched the sleeping frequency.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing decisively moved forward, trying his best to distance himself from the heartbeat. He held the Dragon Melting Cauldron and moved quickly.

After circling around the cave with the strongest suppression and aura, he passed through a tall pile of rubble and sneaked into a deep passageway.

Finally, he arrived in a cave filled with giant eggs.

Each egg was more than a meter tall and oval in appearance. There were heartbeats coming from within, steam rising from them, and cracks all over the surface of the shell.

The top half of the egg was already broken. A small entirely black-brown lizard was lying on the ground at the edge of the eggshell, gnawing on unknown flesh.

At a glance, there were more than a hundred similar small lizards.

And there were at least 2,000 that had yet to break out of their shells!

Lizard nest.

This cave was like a lizards' incubation chamber.

Su Jingxing's brain worked, searching for the species in his memories based on the appearance of the little lizards.

The Mountain Dragon Salamander, yes, the Mountain Dragon Salamander!

'These lizards were all Mountain Dragon Salamanders, a type of powerful earth attribute lizard with dragon bloodline.

'The Mountain Dragon Salamander was also the lizard species that was most likely to evolve into Mutated Beasts.

Su Jingxing didn't know if there were any Mutated Beasts in the cave outside.

His intuition told him that there was!

'The underground cave was too big. Su Jingxing didn't go into every room.

He had directly followed the direction of the Dragon Melting Cauldron to the incubation room in front of him and found the exclusive blade.

In the center of the thousands of Mountain Dragon Salamander eggs, there was a saber that was as tall as a person. It was wide, restrained, and domineering. Its blade was dim, and its handle had many scales. It was like a dragon's saber that stabbed into the ground, occasionally emitting a vibrating cry.

"The Wandering Dragon Saber?"

At first glance, Su Jingxing recognized the saber.

'The Wandering Dragon Saber was Liu Chenglong's weapon when he was alive. It was a weapon that specialized in killing and was extremely sharp.

It wasn't as Su Jingxing thought, that it was the exclusive saber of the Dragon Melting Cauldron.

'The reason why the two were connected was most likely because they came from the same forging table.

To put it simply, both the Wandering Dragon Saber and the Dragon Melting Cauldron were blood spirit weapons!

'What puzzled Su Jingxing was

Why did the Mountain Dragon Salamanders put the Wandering Dragon Saber in the incubation chamber?

This action proved that there were Mutated Beasts among the Mountain Dragon Salamanders.

But Su Jingxing still couldn't figure out why they did that.

Using the Wandering Dragon Saber to incubate the eggs?

This thought suddenly popped up in Su Jingxing's mind.

After snapping out of his daze, in his surprise, he released his mental power to sense the vibration of the Wandering Dragon Saber.

And he really did find something. Every time the Wandering Dragon Saber vibrated, it would shake the air and reach the eggs, causing the eggs to tremble ever so slightly.

The closer they were to the Wandering Dragon Saber, the more obvious the trembling was.

And most of the huge eggs hatched were indeed close to the Wandering Dragon Saber!

"Genius…"

Su Jingxing sighed with emotion at the wonder of this phenomenon.

'The Mutated Beast amongst the Mountain Dragon Salamanders could be said to be a genius.

It actually made use of the Wandering Dragon Saber to accelerate the hatching of the eggs and possibly even strengthen them?

In particular, the vibration of the Wandering Dragon Saber was not spontaneous, but triggered by pieces of strange metals.

Around the ground where the Wandering Dragon Saber was sticking out, palm-sized, dark golden stones were scattered about.

Su Jingxing couldn't tell what kind of stones they were immediately.

And neither could he be bothered to guess. He flew over silently, grabbed the Wandering Dragon Saber, and stored it in his palm space. Then, he picked up a few stones from the ground and turned around to leave.

During this process, a few small lizards saw Su Jingxing and became rooted to the ground. Their eyes were fixed on Su Jingxing as he flew past their heads.

Seeing that Su Jingxing had completely left the cave, they then let out strange cries.

Their voices were soft and low.

If Su Jingxing hadn't been using Advanced Hearing, he wouldn't have heard them at all.

Because he had heard them, his speed suddenly increased.

The cave outside suddenly became lively.

Heavy footsteps, messy yet close-packed, rushed towards the cave where the incubation chamber was.

The other Mountain Dragon Salamanders were alarmed!

Su Jingxing accelerated to his fastest speed. After emerging from the dark passageway, he even executed the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations and condensed 10 true energy clones. They spread out and flew everywhere, luring the approaching Mountain Dragon Salamanders in all directions.

Tss!

Roar!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Low growls, running sounds, and crashing sounds.

Instantly, the entire underground cave became extremely lively.

'The 10 true energy clones lured the Mountain Dragon Salamanders that were five to six-meter-long to dash around wildly in the cave.

Su Jingxing's main body took the opportunity to make a rush back to the bottom of the cave where he came from.

He took out Thunderbolt and enlarged it. Stepping on it, he accelerated and soared upwards.

Swoosh!

Following the wide passage, he charged into the sky.

The depth of more than 500 meters was covered in an instant and returned back beneath the blue sky.

He adjusted his direction and returned to Changyang Prefecture.

When he left the range of the forest, a loud beast roar suddenly came from behind.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

'The air surged and rippled under the roar.

A terrifying pressure accompanied by an overwhelming aura enveloped a radius of tens of kilometers.

In an instant, the Ten Miles Fragrance Forest fell silent.

All the birds, beasts, insects, and fish kept quiet, not daring to move.

Within hundreds of meters around the cave that Su Jingxing came out from, the leaves of old trees were rustling.

Su Jingxing, who had just left the forest, sensed this terrifying might. Immediately, it was as if an ancient giant beast had awakened and was roaring as it chased after him.

"Beast King!"

Alarms went off in Su Jingxing's mind. He instinctively sped up and broke through the air at six times the speed of sound.

He only stopped when he was far away from the Ten Miles Fragrance Forest and exhaled slightly.

Beast King!

'There was actually a Mutated Beast at the level of Beast King among the Mountain Dragon Salamanders.

Su Jingxing was quite lucky.

When he dived into the cave, he did not alert the Mountain Dragon Salamander King.

It was only after he got the Wandering Dragon Saber out that the other party noticed him and roared angrily.

I wonder which corner of the underground cave this Mountain Dragon Salamander King was lying in?

Most Mutated Beasts were not terrifying, but the kings among them were.

Every Beast King had the power to destroy a city.

Without the need for a beast tide, the Beast King alone could break through the city.

'An existence of this level could only be dealt with by experts in the top ranks, and they had to have an advantage in numbers.

Beast Kings were also divided into strong and weak ones.

Low-level, intermediate-level, and advanced-level.

It corresponded to the third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade in the top ranks.

A low-level Beast King could only be killed by two or more ordinary third-grade martial artists.

What level was this Mountain Dragon Salamander King?

Chapter 211: Split In Two!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Low-level?

Or intermediate-level?

If it was low-level, Su Jingxing was confident that he could defeat it.

But if it was intermediate-level, escaping would be a better option.

What level was the Mountain Dragon Salamander King at?

Su Jingxing's intuition told him that it had yet to reach the intermediate-level.

Of course, judging from the overwhelming influence earlier, it certainly was not far from becoming an intermediate Beast King.

Once the Mountain Dragon Salamander King became an intermediate Beast King, the Ten Miles Fragrance Forest would probably become a forbidden land or a death zone!

"Lwonder if the Sifang Prefecture Army knows about this?" Su Jingxing murmured and continued flying back to Changyang Prefecture.

'The information that the Mountain Dragon Salamander King was about to break through to the intermediate-level had to be reported to the Sifang Prefecture online as soon as he got back.

It would be too troublesome if he were to head there with his true identity.

As there was no need to hurry, Su Jingxing wasn't flying fast.

Flying high in the sky, he wasn't afraid of being discovered either.

On the way, he took out the Wandering Dragon Saber and tried to subdue it.

This broad saber that Liu Chenglong had used when he was alive had reappeared after more than 400 years.

However, it was dull and there were even rust stains on some parts.

It was a little inconvenient to carry and wield it as it was the length of a person.

Su Jingxing first injected true energy into the blade, but he was blocked and could not carry on with the infusion.

When he condensed his soul power and invaded with his mental power, it was also blocked by a strong and invisible force.

It felt as if Wandering Dragon Saber had been sealed. The door hadn't even been opened, so how could he enter?

"Yes, the 'door is locked. A 'key' is needed to open it!"

With a thought, Su Jingxing released the Sishui Horned Dragon and wrapped it around the Wandering Dragon Saber.

Buzz!

The air shook, and a crisp vibration reverberated through the air.

'The Wandering Dragon Saber, which had no reaction a moment ago, was now trembling violently. It released terrifying power that interfered with the space and produced ripples.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Amidst the rhythmic strange sounds, the saber that was the length of a person suddenly shortened and shrunk.

The dull surface shone again.

The pieces of rust fell off automatically and turned into dust.

Roar!

Accompanied by a dragon's cry, Su Jingxing's consciousness easily entered the saber and came into contact with an active sentience. Under the guidance of this sentience, he found the core of the Wandering Dragon Saber and engraved a mental imprint that belonged to Su Jingxing.

Roar!

The dragon's cry sounded again.

Su Jingxing raised the saber. A dragon-shaped imprint could be seen swimming on the blade with the naked eye. On both sides of the saber hilt, dragon claws were spread open, and the dragon pearl at the top emitted a brilliant radiance.

Swish!

Saber beam bloomed.

Instead of infusing true energy into it, he only used the Wandering Dragon Saber's own strength to swing lightly and slash out a streak of saber energy that tore through the air and extended for more than 10 meters.

It descended from the sky at a neither fast nor slow speed.

Ordinary people could see it with their vision.

From the side, one could clearly see a streak of translucent saber energy descending from the sky and slicing through a mountain that was filled with cliff faces.

With a strange sound, the translucent saber energy sliced diagonally into the mountain.

Crack!

Boom!

The mountain moved.

Small half that was sliced off slid down the blade.

Even though it only slid halfway before stopping, the might of this strike still surprised Su Jingxing.

Take Thunderbolt for example. The might of a spirit weapon was something a treasure weapon could not compare to.

By infusing true energy into a treasure weapon, one could fight against martial artists in the lower ranks or the middle ranks.

But if one were to fight against a martial artist in the top ranks, it was not that there would be no killing and wounding effect, but that the lethality and destructive power would be truly limited.

Su Jingxing didn't dare to use Thunderbolt because of its limited energy.

'This Wandering Dragon Saber just happened to supplement its weakness!

"As expected of a spirit weapon that specializes in killing…"

Su Jingxing murmured as he held the Wandering Dragon Saber in his hand to sense everything about this spirit weapon.

Although he had subdued it thanks to the Sishui Horned Dragon, he still had to get used to it for a while before he could wield it around like Thunderbolt.

It couldn't be helped. The Wandering Dragon Saber was different from Thunderbolt.

The latter had been severely injured before. Su Jingxing had relied on the Three Yin Candles Blood to slowly help it recover. He had already adapted to it in the process of feeding it the Three Yin Candles Blood.

'The Wandering Dragon Saber was different.

This spirit weapon was intact and undamaged. It was unknown how long it had been since it was in the possession of the Mountain Dragon Salamander King.

The mental imprint that Liu Chenglong had placed on it had long disappeared over time.

'The Wandering Dragon Saber had experienced a window period.

Now that Su Jingxing had subdued it again, they both had to get familiar with each other.

So.

While flying in the sky above the no man's land, Su Jingxing swung the Wandering Dragon Saber from time to time and slashed out streaks of saber energy.

He only stopped swinging the saber after entering the territory of Changyang Prefecture.

Moments later, he retracted his consciousness and revealed a delighted expression.

The distance was like an arm's length, soon.

Boom!

Aloud bang suddenly came from the mountains on his right.

The aftershocks of the sound rolled in all directions.

"What powerful energy fluctuations!"

Su Jingxing stopped in his tracks and raised his eyebrows when he sensed the intense fluctuations coming from his right.

Boom!

Another explosion echoed through the air.

Before Su Jingxing could sense it, a cold, violent, and fierce fluctuation had already rushed towards him from the right.

Swish!

Su Jingxing moved to avoid the impact.

His gaze locked onto the two figures that were coming at him. One of them was surprisingly the elder of the Hundred Flower Valley whom he had just met. The long-haired woman whose Martial Art True Intent was a huge peony flower. Her name seemed to be Yan Zi?

The other person was the black-robed man who had fought with Yan Zi previously. However, most of the black robe on the black-robed man's body had been torn apart, revealing his true appearance. An aged, sinister, vicious face with three ugly scars on it.

'The two of them were in an extremely strange state.

This was especially true for Yan Zi. Her originally pretty face had lost all color. Even her flesh seemed to have been reduced by more than half. She was all skin and bones, terrifyingly thin.

As for the black-robed old man, his original Martial Art True Intent, which was the three-headed snake, had now become three snakes. Or rather, his Martial Art True Intent was actually three snakes.

Combining them together was just a cover-up.

'When it came to a true life-and-death duel, three unconnected giant snakes would appear and dance around to attack the opponent.

For example, right now, of the three giant snakes, one was clinging tightly onto Yan Zi's peony flower and wouldn't let go no matter how much the peony flower shook and released shockwaves. Its huge mouth bit onto the flower core, and its body trembled as it endured the waves of impact.

Another was wrapped around Yan Zi's body, tying her up. The giant mouth bit Yan Zi's neck from behind.

The last one hovered above the black-robed old man's head. It opened its huge mouth, and its upper body kept extending and contracting as if it was devouring something.

Su Jingxing watched carefully. With every breath the snake took, Yan Zi's face turned paler. Her body trembled and she became even thinner.

Even though Yan Zi was resisting and her true essence was surging, it was pitifully little.

"Eaten?"

Su Jingxing was shocked.

He recalled the corpse of the Hundred Flower Valley disciple he had previously transported.

That corpse was a mummy.

In Yan Zi's current state, it wouldn't be long before she would also become a mummy!

The murderer has been found!

He's actually this black-robed old man who had turned a person into a mummy using a martial art.

What kind of martial art is this? It is definitely a heretic art.

Yan Zi was no match for him and was caught. Before long, she would turn into a mummy.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing was shocked and decisively distanced himself.

Still the same reason.

'When the Hundred Flower Valley fought with others, as long as they did not implicate the innocent, it had nothing to do with Su Jingxing.

But.

Su Jingxing didn't want to participate in the death match between the two of them. After the black-robed old man discovered Su Jingxing, he quickly pounced towards him.

He only left behind a giant snake wrapped around Yan Zi's Martial Art True Intent.

'The other two flew out and tore through the air, pouncing towards Su Jingxing.

Their speed was extremely fast.

Alarms went off in Su Jingxing's mind. He had just released the Sishui Horned Dragon to protect his body and it was bitten by the two giant snakes.

One bit the black horned dragon's tail, while the other bit the dragon's neck.

Then, Su Jingxing felt a terrifying suction force absorbing his mental power, true energy, physical strength, and essence energy through the Sishui Horned Dragon!

This fellow wants to eat me!

Su Jingxing was alarmed and furious. He instinctively brandished the Wandering Dragon Saber and slashed down at the black-robed old man.

Boom!

The air exploded and swept through the air.

'The Wandering Dragon Saber that was infused with true energy shone brightly. The saber energy was like a whip as it struck its target in a few milliseconds.

Pu!

The black-robed old man who had just arrived in front of Su Jingxing had his light barrier shattered. Blood spurted from his mouth as he flew backward uncontrollably.

After suffering heavy injuries, the two giant snakes that were biting the Sishui Horned Dragon immediately twisted their bodies and escaped.

Whoosh!

Su Jingxing, who had regained his freedom, did not escape. Instead, he raised his saber and charged at the black-robed old man.

Since the old fellow wanted to eat him, would Su Jingxing run away just like that?!

Buzz~

His transcendent body was activated, and a faint golden glow appeared on his body.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

'The Heaven Trampling True Energy in his dantian circulated crazily. He gathered it into his hands and infused it into the Wandering Dragon Saber.

Boom boom boom!

The air exploded as streaks of saber energy slashed out.

Intense fluctuations tore through the air, extending over 20 meters.

Accompanied by a deafening dragon's roar, every strike struck the black-robed old man.

Roar!

The black-robed old man's body manifested the three-headed snake Martial Art True Intent.

The two giant snakes that had escaped a second ago and the one that clung onto Yan Zi were actually summoned back by him. They reappeared and protected his body.

'The terrifying force that Su Jingxing exerted with every slash was blocked by the three-headed snake.

The remaining small half struck his protective true essence, causing ripples to spread out.

One retreated, and the other forced his way forward.

'The two of them were pushed more than a thousand meters away in the air, and they continued.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dull thunder-like sound spread through the sky.

Saber energy that was tens of meters long slashed down without stopping.

The black-robed old man was unable to dodge the frenzied attacks and could only defend passively.

But.

'What Su Jingxing lacked the least was true energy and strength.

With more than 800 years of cultivation and 20,000 catties of strength, at this moment, with the circulation of the Three Origins Saber Art and the augmentation of the Wandering Dragon Saber, were unleashed without restraint.

100 years of cultivation, 200 years of cultivation, 300 years of cultivation, 400 years of cultivation!

50,000 catties of strength, 100,000 catties of strength, 150,000 catties of strength, 200,000 catties of strength!

Upwind Single Slash!

Sweeping River Army Slash!

Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Slash slash slash!!!

"Ah—"

Unable to escape or avoid the attacks, the black-robed old man passively endured them until the end and roared at the sky in anger.

He couldn't block them!

Faced with Su Jingxing's crazy attacks in one breath, he couldn't block anything at all!

First, his Martial Art True Intent, the three-headed snake was shattered. Without waiting for it to re-materialize, the protective true essence on its body also dissipated. With just a single slash, massive cracks appeared on his well-tempered physical body, and a hideous wound appeared on his shoulder.

When the second saber strike landed, the black-robed old man let out a long roar. With a loud whoosh, his entire body was split into two.

He was split into two by a single slash!

Fresh blood and internal organs splattered through the air and fell to the ground.

[Card1]

Su Jingxing exhaled.

The next second, he landed and found the two halves of the black-robed old man's corpse.

He first searched the corpse but did not find anything.

He decisively took out Corpse Dissolving Liquid and poured it all over the corpse.

With a strange sound, ghost fire-like glows appeared above the two halves of the corpse.

Su Jingxing had seen this scene once.

He Quanshui!

The Patriarch of the He Family, He Quanshui, who had joined the Ghost Ride organization, had been like this when he died.

Seeing it again, a bad feeling filled Su Jingxing again.

However, they quickly disappeared this time. This was because the two halves of the black-robed old man's corpse dissolved into two pools of bloody water at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Someone from Ghost Ride again…"

Su Jingxing calmed his breathing and frowned slightly.

Previously, he had guessed that the murderer who killed the disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley and the black shadow who stole the stone tablet at the Myriad Treasures Court's auction were most likely the same person.

Now that this person had been found, Su Jingxing had killed him.

Then where was the stone tablet he stole?

He was already dead. There was no chance to interrogate him.

Su Jingxing couldn't be blamed for this.

The black-robed old man was powerful and cultivated strange martial arts. He even wanted to "eat" Su Jingxing.

Faced with such an opponent in the top ranks, how could Su Jingxing dare to hold back?

Naturally, he had to unleash his full strength!

'With more than 800 years of true energy cultivation and 200,000 catties of strength, the Three Origins Saber Art, the Wandering Dragon Saber all combined, the black-robed old man was ultimately split into two.

'Was this result because Su Jingxing was too powerful, or because the black-robed old man was actually ordinary?

Or could it be that the old fellow had expended too much energy fighting Yan Zi previously, that he did not have the strength to resist?

Su Jingxing thought for a moment and threw the matter to the back of his mind.

In any case, he was already dead. No matter what the reason was, it was all in the past.

Swish!

Pushing off the ground, he soared into the air.

As he rushed back in the direction he came from to see if the woman called Yan Zi was dead, Su Jingxing took out the card he had extracted from the black-robed old man's corpse and held it in his hand to read the information.

A Skill Card!

It was not a Memory Card that he wanted the post, or a True Essence Card.

Instead, it was a Skill Card named the Essence Devouring Technique.

He unlocked the card and absorbed the information.

The Essence Devouring Art had a total of three volumes. The Skill Card only contained the first two volumes of mental cultivation techniques.

It seemed like the black-robed old man had only cultivated two volumes.

The ability of this martial art was one word—devour!

True energy, true essence, internal force, energy, blood energy, essence, spirit, soul power.

It could devour anything in a human's body!

He had found the cause of death of the Hundred Flower Valley disciple.

Su Jingxing also personally witnessed Yan Zi's tragic state.

It turned out that both of them had suffered the ravages of the Essence Devouring Art!

Chapter 212: Old Li Is Impressive!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However

Even though the Essence Devouring Art was domineering, the side effects were equally great.

Essence energy, internal force, blood energy, and soul power were still fine. They were the same for almost everyone.

However, there were many people with different attributes in true energy and true essence.

When these true energy and true essence of different attributes were absorbed into his dantian, the Essence Devouring Art would only forcefully stick them together instead of completely melting and fusing them.

When a martial artist's cultivation is thereby strengthened, the martial artist's consciousness would naturally be stronger when they gained the upper hand.

However, if one day he was at a disadvantage, his chaotic aura would immediately explode and he would fall into Qi Deviation.

Therefore, this was a heretic art!

Of course, when absorbing true energy and true essence, it was possible to absorb those of only one attribute

In that case, the probability of the side effects erupting would be very low.

Due to the lack of one volume, Su Jingxing was unable to determine if he could advance to the top ranks by cultivating the Essence Devouring Art.

But it should be possible.

Wasn't the black-robed old man whom he had chopped into two in the top ranks?

The old fellow's true essence cultivation was very deep. If it were any other ordinary third-grade martial artist, they would not be his match at all.

And the reason for his deep true essence cultivation was most likely due to the absorption using the Essence Devouring Art.

As members of the Hundred Flower Valley, Yan Zi and the female disciple who had died previously most likely cultivated internal exercises with similar attributes.

The black-robed old man must have specially chosen them.

If it were anyone else, they would probably jump in excitement after obtaining the Essence Devouring Art.

Although Su Jingxing was surprised, he didn't take it to heart.

Because it wasn't attractive to him.

True energy and true essence?

He could obtain them through extracting cards.

On the contrary, the side effects which might erupt just any day was completely an invisible bomb. No one knew when it would explode.

However, the absorption and devouring ability of the Essence Devouring Art gave Su Jingxing an idea.

This idea could be added to his self-created martial art.

'Mm, even though Su Jingxing had yet to decide on what kind of martial art to create, similar thoughts had been accumulating.

Even the Blood Drop Heretic Art had reference points, let alone the Essence Devouring Art.

However, he was still in the midst of considering how to fuse the unique characteristics of multiple martial arts.

He flew back the way he came.

When he found Yan Zi, the emaciated woman was still alive.

But she wasn't far from death.

'The aura on her body was extremely weak, her blood energy was almost completely withered, and her heartbeat was also barely audible.

"Is… is he… dead?"

Yan Zi, who was lying on the ground, opened her mouth weakly and looked at Su Jingxing, who was wearing a mask.

"Dead."

Su Jingxing replied coolly, "What last words do you have?"

"Good… good…"

Yan Zi narrowed her eyes and her heaving chest calmed down.

After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes and asked under her breath, "Can… you… bring my… corpse… back to… the Wang… Family… of Qinghe… and… hand it to… my… senior sister. … Tell her… that… Master… has always thought… highly… of her…"

"Sure," replied Su Jingxing readily.

"Thank… you…" Yan Zi spat out the words with difficulty. Her head tilted to the side and she passed.

[Card1]

Instead of taking out the card he had extracted in a hurry, Su Jingxing approached the corpse and began to search it.

Still nothing.

He did not have any hopes to begin with so he was naturally not disappointed.

Putting the corpse into his palm space, he got up and left, returning to Qinghe City.

With the corpse in his palm space, the Corpse-raising Devil Insect Egg could forget about coming to it.

As for agreeing to help deliver the corpse.

Firstly, it was on the account of the card, the True Essence Card!

The Function Card extracted from Yan Zi's corpse was a True Essence Card with five years of cultivation.

'The second reason was that Hundred Flower Valley had a good reputation and was considered a legitimate large sect.

Just like the Shaolin and Wudang on Earth.

Even though Su Jingxing had no intention of joining them, of course, the Hundred Flower Valley wouldn't accept him either——the Hundred Flower Valley only accepted female disciples,

Su Jingxing didn't mind befriending the Hundred Flower Valley.

After all, it was dropping off a corpse while on his way.

Back in Qinghe City, Su Jingxing was in no hurry to go to the Wang Family.

It was better to deliver the corpse at night.

In particular, there was an elder in Hundred Flower Valley who Yan Zi addressed as Senior Sister.

'Who knew what realm this senior sister was in and how strong she was?

Su Jingxing had no intention of exposing his true identity to the other party.

He planned to use his true energy clone to deliver the corpse.

And the night was more suitable for true energy clones to move around.

So.

Back at his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Su Jingxing first turned on his computer and went online. He sent the news that the Mountain Dragon Salamander King of the Ten Miles Fragrance Sea Forest was about to break through to the intermediate-level to the official email of the Sifang

Prefecture.

'Whether the other party believed it or not was none of Su Jingxing's business.

After that, he took out the Buddha Flame Root and placed it in the Dragon Melting Cauldron to cook.

He released his true energy to heat up the bottom of the cauldron.

Before long, a fragrance wafted out and filled the room.

Just in case, Su Jingxing released more true energy to form a barrier around the Dragon Melting Cauldron to prevent the fragrance from spreading and attracting others.

With more than 800 years of true energy cultivation and a backup True Energy Card, while Su Jingxing remained vigilant, he unleashed his strength to his heart's content.

The process lasted for more than an hour.

Opening the lid, he checked the situation inside the Dragon Melting Cauldron. The Buddha Flame Root had disappeared, turning into a pool of liquid.

After slightly dissipating the heat, he took out all the liquid and swallowed it in small mouthfuls.

As he swallowed, he circulated the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven to boost his true energy attribute.

After consuming all the liquid, Su Jingxing circulated his true energy and slowly released it, swirling it around his palm.

Hu… Hu… Hu!

Even though his true energy wasn't burning, it was emitting flames and heat waves.

success!

Previously, it was Heaven Trampling True Energy. Now, it had turned into Flaming Heaven Trampling True Energy.

As he slashed out, the saber energy also contained a scorching aura.

After sensing the new changes, Su Jingxing put away the Dragon Melting Cauldron and got some food to wait for night.

Night fell.

Su Jingxing took a corpse bag and moved Yan Zi's corpse into it.

Then, he held it in his hand and soared into the sky, flying towards the Wang Family's residence where Wang Tiedao was.

'When it was almost time, he descended from the sky and hid in a small alley near the Wang Family's residence. He condensed a true energy clone, put on a cloak, a mask, and walked towards the Wang Family's residence with the corpse bag.

He was stopped at the door. Before the guards could say anything, Su Jingxing opened the bag and threw it on the ground.

Swoosh!

Yan Zi's emaciated face was exposed.

"ahl"

"This… This is Elder Yan!"

"Quick, report this to the Patriarch!"

The two guards were scared out of their wits.

Amidst the screams, one of them trembled and stayed in place to guard the corpse. Another ran inside like he was escaping for his life, shouting that Elder Yan had returned.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hu!

Swoosh!

Before long, messy footsteps and the sound of rushing wind came from the door.

'Two figures were the fastest. One in front and one behind, they stepped through the air and landed in front of Su Jingxing.

Their expressions changed drastically when he saw Yan Zi in the body bag.

The burly Wang Tiedao was the first to raise the saber in her hand. She stared at Su Jingxing and shouted, "Did you kill Elder Yan?!"

"Shut up."

Beside her, a woman with long flowing hair who looked to be in her thirties raised her eyebrows and shouted, "He didn't kill Junior Sister."

"Master?" Wang Tiedao turned to look at the woman with a puzzled expression.

Her movements were not slow as she put down the saber.

"This friend is here to deliver the corpse."

The woman zipped up the corpse bag and motioned for Wang Tiedao to pick it up. Then, she turned around and faced Su Jingxing's true energy clone. She bowed slightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, friend, for delivering my junior sister's corpse back to us. I'm Pu Mingyue, the Head of Hundred Flower

Valley's Sword Hall. I have nothing to repay you for returning her corpse. I have a jar of Immortal Chant Wine. I hope you can accept it.

"If you are not in a hurry, you can come in with me. While waiting for the Immortal Chant Wine, we can discuss some martial arts.

"Of course, I also wish to know how my junior sister died and whether she left any last words."

"Then I'll disturb you for a while." In the alley, Su Jingxing controlled his voice and spoke in a deep and thick voice.

When he spoke, he used the secret ability of high-frequency sound waves to twist it into a line and send it to the mouth of the true energy clone.

In this way, it would be equivalent to the true energy clone speaking.

Of course, if one sensed carefully, one could still discover the problem.

However, Su Jingxing could guarantee that even if Pu Mingyue discovered the problem, she wouldn't expose it.

Meeting her with his true energy clone was a clear indication of Su Jingxing's attitude.

There was no grudge between the two of them. On the contrary, they were indebted to him for delivering the corpse. Pu Mingyue had no choice but to accept this.

He walked into the Wang Family's residence.

They chose a quiet room.

Pu Mingyue, Wang Tiedao, and Su Jingxing's true energy clone sat facing one another.

On the ground was Yan Zi's corpse.

"The Essence Devouring Heretic Art. When my younger sister died, were you watching?" Pu Mingyue asked.

"Thappened to pass by and saw her being grabbed and devoured. After the murderer discovered me, he pounced on me. I had no choice but to fight him and was lucky to kill the murderer."

$u Jingxing summarized, "There was originally something strange with the murderer's corpse. I quickly destroyed it and managed to avoid a battle. By the way, the murderer is from Ghost Ride."

"Ghost Ride? Nine-Headed Bird?" exclaimed Wang Tiedao.

"Ghost Ride?" Pu Mingyue frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Junior Sister was too rash. She clearly knew that the murderer cultivated the Essence Devouring Heretic Art, yet she still dared to go out alone."

Su Jingxing said, "Before she died, she said that Master thought the best of you."

Pu Mingyue's mouth fell open, and her aura changed drastically. After a while, all her emotions turned into a long sigh.

"silly girl…" Pu Mingyue smiled bitterly and didn't probe further. Instead, she looked at Su Jingxing and asked with shining eyes," May I know your name?"

"Tm Li Jing," said Su Jingxing.

"..$o you're Brother Li." Pu Mingyue's eyes flashed and she continued, "I wonder if Brother Li has heard of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage?"

"Te heard of him. The Martial Sage of the previous dynasty, Yue Dongliu, right?"

"Yes, that's him."

Pu Mingyue nodded. "It's best that you know, Brother Li. What I want to say is that the rumor that the Crimson Moon Martial Sage left behind a legacy has been verified to be true. The Crimson Moon legacy is related to three stone tablets. As long as the three stone tablets are gathered, the legacy ground

can be manifested to open the legacy's underground palace."

"Right now, there are many factions gathered in Qinghe City. Their goal is to enter the underground palace. The Hundred Flower Valley is one of them."

"As for the three stone tablets, two are currently known.

"Who has these two pieces?" Su Jingxing interrupted.

Pu Mingyue replied, "One is with the Qinghe Martial Suppression Office, and the other is with the Changyang Prefecture Army."

What kind of development is this?

The two known stone tablets of the three are in the government's possession?

Wasn't one of them seized by the black-robed old man?

Although I killed the black-robed old man, I don't know where the stone tablet is.

Did something happen before this?

As if knowing Su Jingxing's doubts, Pu Mingyue continued, "The one with the Martial Suppression Office was previously seized by someone at the auction. However, it was taken back by Bu Qing that night. By the way, Bu Qing is a Universal Envoy. His title is The Reverse Light Spear King. He's almost in

the second-grade."

It's him!

Su Jingxing thought of the tall figure with a long spear he had seen during the day.

So his name is Bu Qing, the reinforcement from the Martial Suppression Office.

"Aren't you curious, Brother Li? Why I said 'taken back?" Pu Mingyue suddenly asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Because that stone tablet was entrusted to the Myriad Treasures Court by the Commander of City Governance of Qinghe City's Martial Suppression Office, Li Linzhou."

Li Linzhou was the first to get the stone tablet?"

"That's right." Pu Mingyue nodded. "When his subordinates discovered the stone tablet and Li Linzhou learned that it was related to the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, he privately kept it. However, when he discovered that there were a total of three such stone tablets, he decisively took it out to auction for a

large sum of money.

"The reason is simple. Li Linzhou doesn't hold hopes of obtaining the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage.

"Brother Li, do you know Li Linzhou's past?"

"Idon't know and neither am I interested."

Of course he was interested.

But he couldn't let Pu Mingyue lead him by the nose.

This woman had been trying to get information out of him. Although Su Jingxing wasn't sure of her motive for now, he wasn't afraid.

At most, he'd just dispel his true energy clone!

As for the "Li Jing" alias he casually mentioned, it was even less valuable.

"Li Linzhou has a deep background."

Pu Mingyue paused for a moment before continuing as if nothing had happened. "He is the personal disciple of Yu Nation's Martial Suppression Office's Head Supervisor!"

F*ck, Old Li is impressive!

His master is actually a first-grade expert, a member of the Yu Nation's cabinet!

"Of course, now he's longer one."

Pu Mingyue said softly, "Li Linzhou was expelled from the sect because he made a mistake. He was actually demoted when he came to Qinghe City. If the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage was only related to one stone tablet, he would naturally go to the underground palace. Unfortunately, he

couldn't gather all three stone tablets or keep them!"

$u Jingxing remained silent.

Ifhe had a first-grade as his backer, Li Linzhou would naturally be able to keep the stone tablets.

Things were awkward now that he had been kicked out of the sect.

No wonder Old Li would rather exchange it for money.

Although money couldn't buy everything, once the price was right, most things could still be bought.

Su Jingxing sighed inwardly.

"Li Linzhou's entrusted item was snatched, so he only received some compensation. The stone tablet is now in Bu Qing's hands."

Pu Mingyue continued to narrate. "With Bu Qing guarding it, the security of this stone tablet is basically guaranteed. I don't know how the Prefecture Army managed to obtain the other stone tablet, but it's also safe. Only the last stone tablet, we know it's in Qinghe City, but we don't know whose hands it

has fallen into!"

After a brief silence, Su Jingxing asked, "So, why are you telling me this?"

Pu Mingyue smiled.

"Twas waiting for this question, Brother Li."

Her eyes lit up as she stared at Su Jingxing and said seriously, "I would like to invite Brother Li to seek out the underground palace with us!"

Chapter 213: Accidental Memory Card

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Is the legacy underground palace very dangerous?"

Su Jingxing controlled his true energy clone, and his aura was stable without any fluctuations.

"Yes."

Pu Mingyue retracted her gaze and said in a low voice, "The Crimson Moon Martial Sage is very low-profiled. When Yue Dongliu was still the Prince of Crimson Moon, he rarely appeared. After he became a Martial Sage, even fewer people saw him."

"Those of us who know about his deeds had to search for a long time to confirm that he has left behind a legacy.

"and that legacy ground is in the Green Cloud Mountain Range!"

Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat.

His true energy clone remained calm and his aura was extremely stable.

It was indeed in the Green Cloud Mountain Range. Su Jingxing had already been there, but he just didn't dare to go down!

"Since you know the location, do you still need the stone tablets?" asked Su Jingxing coolly.

"Yes."

Pu Mingyue chuckled. "The stone tablets are the key. We only know that the legacy ground is in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, but we don't know the exact location. But the stone tablets can lead us to it! Opening the underground palace also requires three stone tablets!

"According to the secret information passed down, there is a huge risk in the legacy underground palace. Ordinary third-grade martial artists can forget about coming out."

"So, you're inviting me to share the risk?" asked Su Jingxing.

"Yes!"

Pu Mingyue answered frankly without a change in expression. "Since Brother Li was able to kill the person from Ghost Ride, you are qualified to enter the underground palace with us! As for the risks inside

"Lbelieve Brother Li has heard of a saying: Risk often comes with opportunity!

"Do you think there are any opportunities in the legacy left behind by the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Brother Li?"

Isn't that obvious?!

Pu Mingyue, Li Linzhou, Bu Qing, the members of Ghost Ride, and everyone else who are busy searching for the stone tablet. Aren't they all doing so to enter the underground palace and obtain the legacy of the Martial Sage?

Besides, there are often more than one treasure in a legacy ground. Since there is even an underground palace, there had to be other things in there.

These things might not be of much use to a Martial Sage, but not necessarily to Su Jingxing and the others.

Spirit weapons, divine arts, rare treasures.

Who would find them too much?

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with the saying that risk comes with opportunity.

Pu Mingyue's honesty was also very sincere.

Her intentions were very direct. All of them would enter the underground palace together. If they encountered danger, they would escape separately. If they found any treasures, each individual would also take them for themselves.

'What they got would depend entirely on their luck.

And unless one was in the third-grade, they couldn't get involved in such matters.

Take Wang Tiedao for example. If she also came along and was lucky enough to obtain a special spirit weapon, would the other third-grade martial artists seize it when they see it?

99% yes!

It was way too easy for a third-grade martial artist to snatch from a fourth-grade martial artist.

However, if "Li Jing', who was also in the third-grade, were to obtain the spirit weapon, the others would have to consider whether it was worth it to make a move.

The legacy underground palace was dangerous to begin with. If one were to fight with another, even if he didn't die, as long as he was injured, he could still die inside.

Under such circumstances, looking for other treasures was undoubtedly better than fighting another person.

As for whether Su Jingxing wanted to go to the underground palace?

Again, duh!

'Who would be willing to give up the chance to obtain the Martial Sage's legacy?

Others weren't qualified to go, but Su Jingxing was.

Third-grade martial artists, as long as they weren't anyone special, Su Jingxing wasn't afraid.

Even if he couldn't win, would he be afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape?

"Tl come."

Without much thought, Su Jingxing agreed, "When the legacy underground palace opens, remember to contact me in advance."

With that, Su Jingxing provided an anonymous number.

"Excellent."

Pu Mingyue smiled. "Then we are allies from now on. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant cooperation to us." Su Jingxing controlled his true energy clone to stand up, and prepare to leave.

"There's no hurry. I haven't given you the Immortal Chant Wine yet, Brother Li."

Pu Mingyue gestured at Wang Tiedao, who had been silent all this while. She made a call.

Moments later, three female martial artists with different dispositions entered the room. One of them was holding a wine jar.

"Thope Brother Li will accept this humble gift."

Pu Mingyue took the wine jar and handed it to Su Jingxing.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing controlled his true energy to form a strand of true energy that wrapped around the wine jar.

"Farewell."

$u Jingxing held the wine jar and said goodbye. Then, he decisively walked towards the door.

After leaving, he wrapped his cloak around his true energy clone, flew into the sky and into the distance.

Su Jingxing's main body chased after it on the ground.

After leaving the Wang Family's residence, his true energy clone descended from the sky and dispersed. Picking up the wine jar, he leaped into the night sky again and returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

'What they did with Yan Zi's corpse had nothing to do with Su Jingxing anymore.

Before she died, she even asked Su Jingxing to send her corpse back to Wang Tiedao's residence and hand it to Pu Mingyue.

Come to think of it, Hundred Flower Valley probably had its own way of dealing with corpses.

Compared to Yan Zi's corpse, Su Jingxing was more interested in the Immortal Chant Wine Pu Mingyue gave him.

This wine was probably no ordinary wine.

Even though Pu Mingyue had very modestly expressed her gratitude, Su Jingxing wouldn't treat it as a humble gift.

Something that a big shot like Pu Mingyue would use as a gift was definitely extraordinary.

Therefore, after Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he quickly switched on his computer and searched for information about the Immortal Chant Wine online.

After searching for a while, he really found traces of it on a forum.

It was an exposing post by an ID.

The Immortal Groan Wine is a rare spirit wine. It is a unique treasure of the Hundred Flower Valley, an excellent product among wines brewed from spirit herbs, dewand drops, sourceless water', and more than a hundred heavenly treasures.

Only ten jars are produced a year!

Its effects are powerful. Not only can it temper the physical body and heal internal injuries, it could also harmonize true energy and nourish the soul.

The source of the name "Immortal Groan Wine" referred to the fact that even legendary immortals would groan uncontrollably when they drank it.

Of course, this was an exaggeration.

But in fact, most people who had drunk the Immortal Groan Wine would groan despite themselves.

One mouthful of Immortal Groan Wine is better than becoming a prince or marquis.

This saying has been circulating for a thousand years.

Those who don't know naturally won't feel anything.

But anyone who knows about the Immortal Groan Wine would dream of taking a sip.

As for those who had drunk it, they would never forget it

Reading these exaggerated descriptions, Su Jingxing could not hold back. He took out the Immortal Groan Wine from his palm space and opened the seal. A refreshing aura that went straight to the bottom of his heart wafted out first. Su Jingxing couldn't help but take a few breaths.

In the next moment, his spirit became refreshed and his mind cleared up in an indescribable way.

"Good wine!"

It was indeed an excellent wine. It almost made him groan before he even drank it.

Su Jingxing took a deep breath, held the wine jar, and poured out half a bowl.

Then, he quickly sealed it and placed it back into his palm space.

He picked up the bow! and wrapped it with his true energy. He took a sip and sensed the charm within. Just like what was written online, after confirming that it was real, he released his true energy and allowed the soft liquid to flow into his mouth, then into his throat, his stomach, and finally spread all

over his body.

The carefree feeling from head to toe stimulated Su Jingxing and gave him tingles and he couldn't help but groan.

However, in the next second, he decisively circulated his true energy to spin in his dantian.

A unique aura flowed through his body and entered his dantian.

His true energy that had yet to liquefy quickly condensed and tured into liquid.

"This wine can actually speed up the transformation of true energy!"

Su Jingxing was overjoyed.

Transforming true energy into true essence was a qualitative transformation, and it was basically achieved through internal exercises.

Before this, Su Jingxing had never seen this process being completed using external objects.

This alone would be enough to drive everyone crazy.

Fortunately, the Immortal Groan Wine was brewed by the Hundred Flower Valley. If it were anyone else or a faction, they wouldn't be able to protect the recipe.

This spirit wine was too precious.

$u Jingxing was very glad that he had helped deliver the corpse. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten this jar of Immortal Groan Wine.

There were only ten jars produced per year, and Pu Mingyue gave him one directly.

How generous!

It was also likely that this jar of wine was one that Pu Mingyue managed to keep with great effort.

The Hundred Flower Valley had existed for more than a thousand years. It had many experts and was powerful. It did not fear anyone or any faction, but it could not be closed off.

Of the ten jars of Immortal Groan Wine brewed every year, nine of them would probably be transacted.

Therefore, the jar in Su Jingxing's hand was extremely rare.

Su Jingxing didn't sense much of the small bowl of wine he poured out. He used it all to convert his true energy.

After finishing it, he felt unsatisfied and poured out another bowl.

At the same time, he continued to convert this true energy.

'When he was done, he poured another bowl.

Moments later, he poured another bowl.

He wasn't addicted, He was just obsessed. Coupled with the conversion of true energy, it drove Su Jingxing to pour bowl after bowl.

When he realized that there was only half a jar left, he suddenly sobered up and stopped opening it.

The Immortal Chant Wine could heal internal injuries. He had to save some for the future.

Even so, only a third of the true energy in his dantian had yet to be converted into liquid.

At this rate, if Su Jingxing had two jars of Immortal Groan Wine, he would be able to complete the conversion of his true energy to true essence.

Now, he still had to rely on himself to complete the conversion of the last third of his true energy.

Putting away the wine jar, Su Jingxing let out a breath and smacked his lips again, savoring the wonders of the Immortal Groan Wine.

Such wine could not be bought with money, nor was it available on the market.

'There was no way to get another jar.

He couldn't possibly kidnap someone from the Hundred Flower Valley and extort them, could he?

Su Jingxing shook his head in amusement and thought about the stone tablets.

Once all three stone tablets are gathered, we would be able to manifest the legacy ground and open the underground palace.

The third stone tablet is also in Qinghe City. But who is it with?

Su Jingxing was curious, but he had no intention of looking for it.

Just wait!

Ghost Ride, the Changyang Prefecture Army, the Martial Suppression Office, Hundred Flower Valley… and Lu Wuchang and the others were all looking for the third stone tablet.

So many factions had mobilized their forces to search for it.

Finding the third stone tablet was only a matter of time.

$u Jingxing just had to wait.

Hence.

Over the next few days, Su Jingxing resumed his daily cultivation or dropped by the crematorium to take a stroll.

Every night, before going to bed, he would take out a bunch of cards that he had automatically extracted and read the information one by one. He would either keep them in his palm space for backup or unlock them on the spot.

Internal Force Card, Essence Energy Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Life Skill Card, Essence Energy Card.

The majority of the cards were common ones.

Occasionally, he would extract Equipment Cards and True Energy Cards.

Until this one time he accidentally obtained a Memory Card!

This contained 20 years of memories of a man named Huang Qian.

He was not a martial artist, but just an ordinary person. He went to work every day, and his salary was neither high nor low. He did not get married or have children. His father had passed away 10 years ago and he was now sharing a life with his aged mother. Although the money he earned was not much,

it was enough for his family's expenses.

Ordinary looks, ordinary life, and his only hobby was fishing.

Because of fishing, he had gotten to know a fishing friend.

This fishing buddy was also an ordinary person, but his family was a little rich.

Every time they went upstream of the Sky Water River to fish, he would drive to Huang Qian's house. The two of them met and got to know each other just like that. In the end, they shared everything.

If not for the commotion in the Sky Water River before the new year, their relationship would probably have been maintained.

However, after the commotion, when the two of them went upstream to fish as usual, they accidentally discovered a stone tablet and three strange stones on a riverbank.

Both the stone tablet and the stones gave them a strange feeling.

Curious, the two brought back the stone tablet and stones.

To be fair, Huang Qian kept the stone tablet and his friend took the stones.

After that, the two of them searched for the origins of the stone tablet and stone but found nothing.

However, the two of them knew that the stones and stone tablet were not simple. For this, no one told anyone else. Only the two of them were in the know.

Ina flash, the new year had passed, and things changed.

Photos of the stone tablet appeared online and caused a sensation.

After Huang Qian and his friend saw it, they were even more certain that the stone tablet and stones were not simple. They continued to secretly hold onto them.

Until last night, his friend suddenly came to him and asked him to hand over the stone tablet. He was willing to give him a million Great Yu dollars.

A stone tablet of unknown origin in exchange for a million Great Yu dollars. Logically speaking, Huang Qian would have made a killing.

With this one million dollars, he no longer needed to work. He could open a small shop or buy a shop to live a leisurely life.

However, Huang Qian refused.

He felt that the stone tablet held a secret. It might be able to play an unexpected role in his hands. Even if he were to sell it, it would cost more than a million dollars.

Huang Qian was never a petty person.

Since the stone tablet was priced at a million dollars, the three stones in his friend's possession should be about the same.

Therefore, he asked his friends to keep the three stones safe, not tell anyone else and don't get bewitched.

What Huang Qian didn't know was that his friend had already been bewitched.

Seeing that he couldn't get the stone tablet, the friend, emboldened by his rage, pushed Huang Qian from behind.

Huang Qian, who was standing at the stairway, immediately rolled down the stairs, crashed into the wall and died.

The memory ended there.

After Huang Qian's death, no one knew what happened to the stone tablet in his possession.

No one knew what would happen to his aged mother either.

Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat.

He decisively headed to the crematorium to look for information on the deceased.

Huang Qian's information was quickly found, and so was that of his aged mother!

Dead.

Huang Qian and his mother were both dead.

'Who was the murderer?

The answer was obvious. That friend called Wang Shoutao!

For the sake of the stone tablet, Wang Shoutao killed Huang Qian first, then Huang Qian's mother.

This fellow was clearly blinded by desire.

"The third stone tablet, three Soul Nurturing Stones…"

$u Jingxing murmured as he put the files back.

A mere Wang Shoutao would not have the ability to learn the secrets of the stone tablet and the Soul Nurturing Stones.

He who was bewitched

"Not good!"

Su Jingxing thought to himself and quickly left the crematorium. He soared into the sky and flew towards Wang Shoutao's residence.

Wang Shoutao, who lived in a duplex unit, had bought a house outside for convenience.

Huang Qian had been invited by Wang Shoutao to this house before and knew where it was.

Su Jingxing rushed over.

He entered the small estate from the air and found the corresponding level.

'When he locked onto the target house, he saw that the lights were still on in the room.

Wang Shoutao was talking to a man.

However, when Su Jingxing flew over, the man suddenly made a move. He brandished a sharp dagger and stabbed it into Wang Shoutao's chest.

Chapter 214: The Mystery of the Stone Tablet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Plkch!

Blood splattered all over his chest.

The excited Wang Shoutao shuddered and stared at the man in front of him in disbelief.

"W-why…"

Plkch!

The short sword went in again, deeper this time, and came out of his back.

'Wang Shoutao, who was terrified, confused, angry, and indignant, died before he could get an answer.

Pu!

'The man pulled out his short sword, flung away the beads of blood on it, and licked his lips.

He gently pushed Wang Shoutao's body to the ground and smiled evilly.

"Why?

"A stupid pig is a stupid pig. You even asked?

"Don't you know that the best way to make sure a person keeps a secret is to turn him into a corpse?

"Only the dead can keep secrets!

"Pui!"

He lowered his head and spat on Wang Shoutao's corpse. Then, without looking back, he turned around and walked towards the door.

'When he opened the door and walked out of the house, he pressed the switch, leaving Wang Shoutao's corpse lying on the living room floor.

Su Jingxing, who had pressed himself against the wall in time, activated Advanced Hearing and listened to the man's movements.

When he walked out of the corridor and took the elevator, he made a call to a third person.

"It has been resolved.

"Don't worry, I destroyed all the surveillance cameras in advance. No one will find out that I did this.

"Don't worry. I'll call the crematorium later.

"That's it. I'll be right back.

After hanging up, the man really dialed the number of the crematorium's customer service office and told them that there was a corpse here.

After hanging up, he took out his SIM card, crushed it, and threw it away.

Su Jingxing kept listening. While the man walked out of the building and towards the entrance of the estate, his body flashed and he entered Wang Shoutao's house from the balcony. He quickly searched around but did not find the stone tablet or Soul Nurturing Stones.

Immediately, he quickly left through the balcony, caught after the man who had just gotten into the car and hung behind him.

In the latter half of the night, the man was driving down the relatively empty streets. He was in high spirits as he sped along with music playing.

Su Jingxing followed him all the way to an entertainment clubhouse in the Northern District.

There were many people in the magnificent clubhouse.

Su Jingxing stopped outside and listened to the man's movements.

After entering the clubhouse, the man greeted people all the way and went to the top floor of the building.

"Were you followed?"

In the large office on the top floor, a deep voice that sounded like a low cannon boomed.

"You can trust me when I do my job."

'The man replied lazily, "That fellow thought that I would give him the treasure medicine for a complete transformation. From the beginning to the end, he didn't tell anyone else and kept cooperating with me. After we finish him off tonight, this matter will end here. The stone tablet and stones are ours!"

"By the way, Big Brother, why are so many people searching for this stone tablet? Is there some secret about it?"

"You don't have to know that." The dull voice sounded again. "After a busy night, you can go back and rest."

"No, I have to look at the stone tablet and stones again."

'The man said firmly, "I know, Big Brother. You'll give them away tomorrow. Let me get my fill of looking at them tonight. Perhaps I can unlock the secret of the stone tablet?"

"Alright, I'll let you have your fill," replied the dull voice teasingly.

"Hehehe, Brother, don't laugh at me. What if I really unlock the secret?"

The deep voice did not respond.

Su Jingxing, who had arrived at the rooftop, heard the sounds of a mechanism moving.

Then, he heard the man sigh again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, good stuff. These stone tablets and stones are definitely good stuff. Unfortunately, no one can unlock their secrets.

"Fortunately, heaven isn't blind and allowed them to fall into our hands. Tonight, let me crack their secrets one by one!"

After this chunibyo declaration, exclamations could be heard from time to time.

"Be careful, don't drop them," a dull voice warned.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Big Brother! You can trust me!"

'The man's delightful voice responded.

On the rooftop.

Su Jingxing, who was wearing a cloak and a mask, smiled when he heard this.

"Ican indeed rest assured now. The stone tablet and the Soul Nurturing Stones have not been transferred away!"

Sighing inwardly, Su Jingxing controlled his body and gently descended.

Just as he was about to appear, he suddenly sped up and entered the room through the open window.

"What…"

Buzz!

The air vibrated.

An invisible pressure suddenly erupted and accurately covered the entire office.

Su Jingxing circulated his 400 years of true energy cultivation and formed a terrifying suppression that enveloped the entire floor. It pressed the man and a tall and handsome middle-aged man to the ground, leaving them immobile.

'The Soul Nurturing Stone in the man's hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The room he was in now was a cubicle. The half-open door was a row of bookshelves.

Clearly, the mechanism he had just unlocked earlier was the bookshelf and there was a secret chamber behind it.

Su Jingxing floated over and scanned the secret chamber. He found the stone tablet and three Soul Nurturing Stones that Huang Qian and Wang Shoutao had brought back from the river.

'There were also many other items in the secret chamber, Energy Gathering Stones, special treasure weapons, and strange tools.

After scanning through them, Su Jingxing put them all into his palm space.

The stone tablet and the three Soul Nurturing Stones were naturally included.

"Who… who are you…"

From the corner of his eye, the man who saw Su Jingxing's movements sprawled on the ground and warned with difficulty, "We… we are from the Qi… Li Family. You… you stole our things. Aren't… aren't you afraid that the Li Family will find trouble with you!"

"You can even get your cover-up wrong. Impressive."

Su Jingxing lowered his head and glanced at this young man who could be considered handsome. He said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry. As you said, only the dead can keep secrets. Be it the Qi Family or the Li Family, you won't live to see them again."

"No…"

Swish!

A throwing dagger flashed past, and the young man only had time to spit out a single word before his head was penetrated. He died with his eyes wide.

'The middle-aged man trembled in fear and hurriedly spoke up with difficulty.

"Wait… wait… I…"

Swish!

Another throwing dagger continued to flash past, and the middle-aged man was cut off.

[Card2]

"What would I wait for? I've already said that only the dead can keep the secret. Wait?"

Su Jingxing shook his head and walked towards the desk. He operated the computer that was switched on and found the surveillance footage of the office.

Instead of deleting it, he moved the entire console out and stored it in his palm space.

Then, he used the phone on the desk to call the crematorium's customer service office and informed them that there were two corpses here.

After hanging up, he leisurely left through the window and headed straight into the night sky.

'An unexpected surprise.

This was a pleasant surprise.

A Memory Card that he had extracted by chance eventually gave him the third stone tablet and three Soul Nurturing Stones.

Su Jingxing already had seven Soul Nurturing Stones in his possession. Together with these three, that made ten of them.

'There were a total of 12 Soul Nurturing Stones in the entire set, and he was only missing the last two.

As for the stone tablet.

Before this, Su Jingxing had only seen photos of it. This was the first time he was seeing one with his own eyes.

After returning to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Su Jingxing took out the stone tablet and observed it.

'The mysterious feeling became clearer.

The more he looked at the mysterious patterns on the stone tablet, the more magical it was. It was as if little figures were jumping around.

Su Jingxing didn't know how the others felt, but as he stared, he felt that the patterns on the stone tablet were coming alive!

It was as if little figures were dancing on the stone tablet and posing.

Then, their postures kept changing. One moment they were neat, the next moment they were messy.

In the end, all the little figures gathered together —

Whoosh!

A bright glow suddenly flared before his eyes, and he had no choice but to close them.

His powerful perception spread out immediately and covered the stone tablet.

Buzz!

Su Jingxing's body trembled, and so did the stone tablet.

'Their frequency seemed to have reached a common point at this moment.

'The next second, a bunch of complicated information appeared in Su Jingxing's mind.

This bunch of information was like countless ropes of hemp, me you and you in me. It kept winding, intertwining, and coiling.

Amess described the current situation in Su Jingxing's mind.

Yet this extremely complicated piece of information could move on its own.

As it moved, it triggered Su Jingxing's heart, and for some reason, he felt frustration surge.

It was a frustration and impulse that made him wish he could scratch his scalp and destroy everything. It made him wish he could destroy everything in his sights.

Roar!

Along roar.

Su Jingxing decisively condensed the Heaven Trampling Elephant to run through his sea of consciousness.

The Martial Art True Intent of the Sishui Horned Dragon was released as well. It circled around his mind.

A dragon and an elephant attacked the ball of information from the front and back.

The former bit, while the latter trampled.

'The mess of information was gradually separated. The frustration and destructive desire that surged in Su Jingxing's heart slowly disappeared.

After a while, the message became clearer.

Only then did Su Jingxing absorb the information and use it for himself.

Then, his eyes widened.

"Full Moon Breathing Technique. This is actually a martial art, a mental martial art!?"

The mysterious patterns on the stone tablet turned out to be a martial art!

A mental.

Er, it seemed like it isn't just the mind, the soul is also involved.

As long as I absorb the essence of the moon during the full moon, my soul would be strengthened?

In any case, it targets the soul and has nothing to do with the physical body.

As for soul martial arts, they were rare to begin with, and any one of them was a hot commodity.

The Mind section of the Colossal Divine Dagger that Su Jingxing cultivated was not a mental martial art, but mental control.

The Heaven Origin volume in the Three Origins Saber Art was a mental attack.

Unfortunately, it was already lost. Deduction was very troublesome, and Su Jingxing had yet to have the chance to obtain the complete version.

Although this Full Moon Breathing Technique recorded on the stone tablet was not an offensive martial art, it was very helpful to the soul. As for the specific aspect, Su Jingxing couldn't tell for now.

He had a feeling that this martial art was very powerful, but it didn't just increase his soul power.

'There were no records of what exactly happened, and Su Jingxing had to figure it out himself.

In any case, Su Jingxing had made a killing.

"There are martial arts recorded on the stone tablets. Only this one, or on all three of them?"

Su Jingxing calmed his breathing and his mind.

That's right. There were a total of three stone tablets. The one Su Jingxing obtained contained martial arts, but what about the other two?

Su Jingxing didn't believe that the Changyang Prefecture Army and Bu Qing from the Martial Suppression Office didn't study the patterns on the stone tablets after obtaining them.

'As long as one sensed the patterns, they would trigger the information recorded on it.

Although this information was a mess and was very difficult to crack, if not for Su Jingxing's powerful soul power and the help of the Sishui Horned Dragon and the Heaven Trampling Elephant, he wouldn't have been able to crack it either.

However, this did not stop the people who were sensing the patterns from guessing what the information was.

Su Jingxing had heard that some martial arts could not be recorded in words and illustrations. Instead, they were imprinted on special items through mental imprints.

'When reading and absorbing, one also had to condense their mental power to envelop it.

'The Full Moon Breathing Technique was probably such a martial art.

The two other stone tablets most likely also contained such martial arts!

"Tsk, we haven't even entered the underground palace yet, but I've already gotten some gains.

"That Crimson Moon Martial Sage sure is generous."

After experiencing the mysteries of the Full Moon Breathing Technique, Su Jingxing sighed.

Moments later, he cut out many unnecessary thoughts and fell into deep pondering.

All three stone tablets have been found.

What should I do next?

Find Gu Zhanlin and Bu Qing, meet up with them and head to the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range together?

No!

Su Jingxing immediately dismissed the idea.

Gu Zhanlin represented the Changyang Prefecture Army, and Bu Qing represented the Martial Suppression Office.

Both were major factions and were official organizations.

Su Jingxing was an individual. He would be lucky if he wasn't suppressed when he worked with them.

It would be unrealistic to want more benefits.

Even if Su Jingxing's true energy cultivation was more than 800 years and he had Martial Art True Intent and secret abilities, it was still unrealistic.

'The best way was to find and link up with a major faction no weaker than the Changyang Prefecture Army and the Martial Suppression Office to negotiate with them.

Su Jingxing quickly locked onto his target.

'The Hundred Flower Valley!

Previously, he had done them the favor of delivering a corpse, and they had agreed to travel to the underground palace together.

The Hundred Flower Valley was the most suitable candidate.

At this thought, Su Jingxing made his decision.

The next night, after nightfall.

After putting on his equipment, Su Jingxing headed straight for the Wang Family's residence again.

Along the way, he suddenly had a thought. He changed direction and landed on the top of a building.

"Come out!"

His deep voice reverberated through the rooftop.

His powerful perception spread out. In the next second, Su Jingxing turned his head to look behind him on the right. His gaze was fixed on a man in a white suit and trousers.

It's this fellow?

Su Jingxing was secretly vigilant.

Lu Wuchang!

The man standing in the dark corner behind him was none other than Lu Wuchang from Ci En Bank.

'The third-grade expert with terrifying intuition.

"Relax."

Lu Wuchang spread his hands, indicating that he was harmless. "I was just passing by and happened to see a friend. I have no other intentions."

Su Jingxing remained silent.

No other intentions?

Does he think I'm a three-year-old?

This fellow suddenly appeared midway and followed me across half of the Central District.

No other intentions?

Who are you kidding!

"Um…"

Seemingly realizing that Su Jingxing had seen through his trick, Lu Wuchang smiled awkwardly and shrugged.

"Alright, I did follow you on purpose. However, I really have no intention of harming you. I only followed you because I wanted to ask you a question."

Su Jingxing remained silent.

"Ahem!"

Lu Wuchang coughed and said helplessly, "My question is, is the third stone tablet in your hands?"

Chapter 215: I'm Not a Genius

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This fellow!

His intuition is f*cking terrifying.

Su Jingxing was inwardly shocked, but the aura he exuded remained calm and did not stir at all.

'The next second, he turned around and prepared to leave.

If he continued to stay here, who knew how many more secrets would be revealed, forcing him to fight Lu Wuchang.

He was a third-grade martial artist. If there was no need, Su Jingxing didn't want to become enemies with him.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Su Jingxing was about to leave, Lu Wuchang quickly said, "I know the secret of the stone tablets! On three legacy stone tablets, there's a breathing technique recorded on one, an ancient military manual on the other, and a secret heavenly secret art on the last!"

Is this fellow for real?

'The breathing technique had already been verified. Su Jingxing couldn't be certain about the military manual and heavenly secret art.

If that was true.

"How do you know all this?"

Su Jingxing turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"Phew~"

Lu Wuchang heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he raised his eyebrows and grinned. "Because I've read Yue Dongliu's Martial Sage's Manuscript. Although Yue Dongliu, the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, kept a low profile, he left behind a manuscript and it has been passed down to this day.

"This manuscript just so happens to contain the secret of the legacy stone tablets and some uses of Martial Art True Intent.

"Yes, I'm very honored. I've made a copy. As for the original, it's in the Xia Family's hands.

"If you are willing to make a deal with me, I'm willing to give this manuscript to you. Apart from that, I'll also give you the two new Soul Nurturing Stones."

Lu Wuchang looked very sincere.

Su Jingxing kept quiet.

It wasn't because the last two Soul Nurturing Stones were in Lu Wuchang's hands, but because the information this fellow had revealed was too shocking.

The Martial Sage's Manuscript!

This was equivalent to his notes or diary.

It was written by a Martial Sage when he was still alive during his rising.

For example, some cultivation insights, understanding of martial arts, or the use of a secret ability.

Anything was possible.

There was indeed a chance that the secret of the three legacy stone tablets would be recorded.

After all, Yue Dongliu, the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, was too low-profiled. Other than a few people, most people did not know his personality.

In addition, the stone tablet that Su Jingxing had obtained did indeed contain the Full Moon Breathing Technique.

In other words, Lu Wuchang was telling the truth!

He really had Yue Dongliu's manuscript in his hands.

In other words, the information recorded on the other two stone tablets was not martial arts, but a military manual, and heavenly secret art!

At this thought, Su Jingxing turned around and asked in a low voice again.

"How do you know that the stone tablet is in my hands?"

"Well…" Lu Wuchang pondered for a moment and said seriously," Before answering the question, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lu Wuchang and I'm from the Lu Family of Ci En Bank. You might have heard of me because I'm quite famous both at home and outside. "

"To the outside world, I'm a martial arts genius. To the inside, I'm a born talent.

"The reason is because I have a special talent, super strong intuition!

"Lam able to foretell luck and calamity and determine the authenticity of things.

"However, the truth is that my talent is passive, and there are restrictions to it.

"For example, someone is 50 kilometers away, plotting to kill me. I won't know that when I'm here. I'll only be alerted when the other party enters Qinghe City and is within a few hundred meters of me.

"If I take the initiative to foresee it, I'll have to expend my lifespan.

"That's right, you didn't hear wrongly. This talent of mine, if I forcefully order it around, there will be severe side effects and my lifespan will be shortened!"

As he spoke, a ball of true energy emerged from Lu Wuchang's palm and he swiped it across his head.

The night wind blew.

The hair on the left side of Lu Wuchang's head turned snow white.

One-fifth of his hair had turned white.

"See that? This is the consequence of actively using my talent."

Lu Wuchang pointed at his white hair and chuckled. "No one else knows the drawback of my talent. Every single strand of these hairs turned white once I used my talent."

"Everyone outside says that I'm one of the elites of this generation. I advanced to the third-grade before 40 years old.

"But they have no idea what I've lost to be here today.

"Compared to those true freaks, I'm actually not even a genius!"

Su Jingxing remained silent.

Amoment later, he asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I have a request!"

Lu Wuchang stared at Su Jingxing and said seriously, "I want to make a deal with you and obtain the three legacy stone tablets. One of them contains a heavenly secret art!

"On the surface, I came to Qinghe City because my nephew, who had turned into a vegetable, begged me time and time again. That's why I had no choice but to come. In reality, my actual goal is the heavenly secret art!

"Of course, before this, I didn't know that what I wanted was the heavenly secret art. I only knew that there was something in Qinghe City that was very important to me.

"It somehow guided me here.

"Including tracking you earlier, it was also a mysterious guidance.

"Under this guidance, another strand of hair turned white. As the price, I received a notification to wait on the roof of a building on your flight path.

"The first person to fly over the top of the building is the person I want to make a deal with!"

And this still isn't using a hack?

Even though there's a price to pay, such an ability is still astonishing.

Su Jingxing sighed inwardly, but his external aura remained unchanged.

"What deal do you want to make with me?" asked Su Jingxing.

"Let me borrow the stone tablet."

Lu Wuchang quickly explained, "The stone tablet that records the heavenly secret art is with the Changyang Prefecture Army. I can't get close to it, let alone comprehend it. However, after some negotiation, they are willing to let me trade for it using another stone tablet."

"In other words, you're going to take the stone tablet in my possession to exchange for the one with the Prefecture Army?" Su Jingxing found it amusing.

"Yes."

Lu Wuchang replied frankly, "I don't know if you have already studied the stone tablet and obtained the military manual or the breathing technique.

"If you have already obtained it, I hope you can make a deal with me. The Martial Sage's Manuscript and two Soul Nurturing Stones will be my remuneration. Of course, if you think the remuneration is insufficient, we can negotiate it again."

"If you haven't figured it out yet, you can go back to do that first. There's no hurry. Of course, if you can't, I hope you can tell me the truth and make a deal with me. The remuneration can still be negotiated.

"If the deal is struck and the exchange is done, I can also let you study it first and obtain the secret heavenly art.

"I don't mind you learning the heavenly secret art too, because that would be equivalent to having another companion to discuss and communicate with. I can't be happier!"

You sure are happy!

Su Jingxing could tell that this fellow wasn't lying.

Furthermore, it was indeed not a bad thing to get a heavenly secret art without doing anything.

No matter what, he would only benefit.

At this thought, Su Jingxing said indifferently, "Why didn't you borrow the stone tablet from the Martial Suppression Office?"

That's right, it was just an exchange of stone tablets.

The one in Su Jingxing's hand could work, so could the one in Bu Qing's possession.

Why did Lu Wuchang only look for Su Jingxing?

Chapter 216: Martial Art True Intent Opened Its Eyes!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Um…"

Lu Wuchang hesitated.

"Why? Is there something that's difficult to share?" Su Jingxing asked in a low voice.

"Not really."

Lu Wuchang scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I didn't look for Bu Qing because we had a little conflict."

"What conflict?" Su Jingxing probed.

"It's just… I dated his sister before and then we broke up."

Lu Wuchang gave a dry laugh and explained, "We broke up as a normal couple, but Bu Qing thought that I dumped his sister and bore a grudge against me since then, so…"

Lu Wuchang shrugged and didn't continue.

Su Jingxing was speechless.

He had almost forgotten that Lu Wuchang was an expert at wooing girls. Few of the women he had taken a fancy to he couldn't successfully woo.

The problem was that every time he succeeded, he would give up and look for a new target.

He was always fond of the new and tired of the old. He was passionate but not promiscuous.

He could even woo Bu Qing's younger sister. This showed how good he was.

Of course, Lu Wuchang wasn't bad himself. Moreover, he never forced anyone and only flirted with single people.

No matter how much Bu Qing detested him, he could only dislike him and not do anything to him.

Moreover, if they were to really fight, it remained unknown who would win.

"_Tagree to the deal."

Su Jingxing was silent for a moment before asking, "When are we doing the trade?"

"How about tomorrow morning?" asked Lu Wuchang, delighted. "The sooner the better."

"10 a.m. tomorrow, at the Eastern District Bridge. It's the closest to the garrison army base."

"Sure," replied Su Jingxing. "We'll meet at the Eastern District Bridge at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

With that, he sprang into the sky with a tap of his toes.

He flew high into the sky and continued north. After a long detour, he returned to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain in the west of the city.

On the rooftop.

Lu Wuchang looked up at the night sky and let out a long sigh.

"Finally… soon."

He had not shared everything. The heavenly secret art in the legacy stone tablet was not important, but extremely important!

He subconsciously felt that it involved the loss of his lifespan.

Therefore, he had to obtain this heavenly secret art!

The so-called heavenly secret arts were a collective term for divination, feng shui, astrology, eight trigrams, fortune-telling using characters, and so on.

Since ancient times, there had been people who specialized in researching secret arts in this area.

Lu Wuchang's talent was most suitable for such secret arts. Before this, he had also researched related secret arts, but he had achieved barely any results.

The heavenly secret art left behind by the Crimson Moon Martial Sage was clearly different.

Martial Sages were the peak existences among humans on Earth Star. Their level of existence was already different from ordinary people.

Something left behind by a person of such a level and recorded in the legacy stone tablet must have something unique about it.

Lu Wuchang wished he could study the stone tablet that night and obtain the secret heavenly art.

However, he knew that this matter could not be rushed.

It was already a good start that the other party had agreed to the deal. The worst was to be hot-headed and do something stupid at this time.

"Ljust find it a little strange…" murmured Lu Wuchang.

Su Jingxing gave him the feeling that he was very young!

Probably only around 20 years old.

Why had he never heard of such a young third-grade martial artist?

"Is he another hidden genius?"

Lu Wuchang sucked in a breath of cold air.

Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and continued cultivating.

'The deal with Lu Wuchang saved him the trouble of negotiating with Pu Mingyue.

Each of the three stone tablets contained a different set of information.

It was unknown what Yue Dongliu was thinking.

The Full Moon Breathing Technique required a full moon night. There was no moon tonight, so it was naturally impossible to try it out.

No, I-can give it a try. It's just a breathing technique.

Just do it. Su Jingxing first experienced the charm of the Full Moon Breathing Technique and slowly familiarized himself with the circulation process.

After a while, as was recorded, he inhaled and exhaled rhythmically.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

Nothing!

Instead, he felt a little stifled, and even his internal aura was in chaos.

Su Jingxing stopped circulating decisively and sensed for the problem.

The breathing technique was real. The problem was not the lack of moonlight essence, but the limitations of his body.

Su Jingxing recalled the process and realized that if his body was permeable and every skin cell could carry out breathing, then there would be no problem.

Simply put, this was a body breathing technique!

"Body breathing technique? Whose body can meet this requirement?"

Su Jingxing was puzzled.

His current physique had already been transformed into a transcendent body, yet he still couldn't satisfy the requirements.

So who could?

"It can't be that I have to advance to become a Martial Sage, right?"

The physical body of a Martial Sage had undergone a complete transformation, and his life levels would have changed.

Perhaps, only such a body would be able to get used to the Full Moon Breathing Technique.

With this in mind, no matter how unwilling Su Jingxing was, he could only give up.

10 a.m. the next day.

Su Jingxing arrived at the appointed place on time with the big box containing the stone tablet.

Lu Wuchang was already waiting.

'The two of them avoided the pedestrians and walked to a corner to open the boxes they had brought.

"These are the Martial Sage's Manuscript and two Soul Nurturing Stones."

Lu Wuchang handed the opened box to Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing also opened his box and handed it to Lu Wuchang.

The two of them checked the items in the boxes. A moment later, Su Jingxing said in a low voice, "All good."

"Same here." Lu Wuchang grinned. "Hold on, my friend. I'll go to the army base right now."

"Wait

u Jingxing stopped him. "T'll go with you."

"Alright!" Lu Wuchang hesitated for a second before nodding. "Let's go then."

With that, he turned around with the box and walked off.

Su Jingxing did not move.

Standing on the spot, he condensed a true energy clone. Wearing a cloak and a mask, it walked out of an alley behind and quickly caught up to Lu Wuchang.

At first, Lu Wuchang didn't notice anything. When he was about to reach the entrance of the base, he realized that something was wrong. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at the true energy clone.

"Why did you stop?"

Su Jingxing's deep voice came through a line from where he was standing and sounded by the mouth of the true energy clone.

"N-Nothing."

Lu Wuchang forced his mouth shut.

A true energy manifestation!

He could sense that Su Jingxing had actually condensed a true energy manifestation to follow him.

If he didn't sense it carefully, he wouldn't even be able to discover it.

It wasn't that Lu Wuchang had never seen true energy clones before, but this was his first time seeing one that could almost pass off as a real person.

True energy clones of this state had extremely high demands of true energy cultivation.

At least a hundred years!

Wasn't Su Jingxing very young, around 20 years old?

How could he have a hundred years of cultivation?

Lu Wuchang was bewildered and confused.

On the same spot.

Su Jingxing released his perception and locked onto Lu Wuchang's location. Then, he used his true energy as a transit point to receive all external information.

Mainly sound!

As long as it was within the range of his soul power, which was only about 500 meters, Su Jingxing could hear Lu Wuchang's conversation with others through his true energy clone.

As such, Su Jingxing immediately moved forward when he saw that Lu Wuchang had entered the army base. He stayed close to the base and listened to their conversation.

It wasn't Gu Zhanlin!

The person conversing with Lu Wuchang was another commander.

The two of them checked each other's legacy stone tablets to make sure that there were no mistakes and completed the exchange.

In less than five minutes, the true energy clone followed Lu Wuchang out of the base.

Su Jingxing returned to his original position in advance and waited for Lu Wuchang to return.

"Now that we have the stone tablet, how about we go to a hotel not far ahead to study it?" suggested Lu Wuchang, suppressing his excitement.

"Sure." Su Jingxing controlled his true energy manifestation to dissipate. He put away the cloak and mask, held them in his hand, picked up the box, and walked to the street.

Lu Wuchang quickly followed.

The two of them chose a hotel and booked two rooms, one for each of them.

Su Jingxing studied it first while Lu Wuchang waited next door.

In the third-grade, Martial Art True Intent had endless uses. It was easy to lock onto Su Jingxing's aura.

If not for the fact that they were afraid of creating a misunderstanding, they could have just booked a room.

1

Taking one room each was only a choice made out of their wariness.

Even so, Su Jingxing was only half focused on studying the new stone tablet.

This new stone tablet was the same as the one he had obtained previously. Mysterious patterns were engraved on it.

Su Jingxing focused half of his attention to gather his mental power and envelope the stone tablet.

Buzz!

It was the same sensation. Before long, a bunch of complicated information appeared in his mind.

Immediately, the Sishui Horned Dragon was released. The Heaven Trampling Elephant was condensed and began the decryption and reading of the information.

At the end, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Six Comets Records!"

The information recorded on the stone tablet was indeed a heavenly secret art. It was called the Six Comets Records, mainly targeted at divination.

Su Jingxing experienced it for a while and sensed the mysteries and wonders within. In a few seconds, his consciousness returned.

It wasn't that he couldn't understand it, rather, it was too complicated.

There were a lot of divination elements, and it would take a lot of time to figure them all out. Even with Su Jingxing's soul power, it would take him at least half a month to completely understand them.

If he had the time, Su Jingxing might as well use more true essence to nourish his mind to get his Martial Art True Intent to open its eyes.

Secret heavenly arts were never what Su Jingxing wanted. He only needed to understand them briefly.

So.

Su Jingxing decisively left the room and handed the stone tablet to Lu Wuchang, who had been waiting for a long time.

Whether Lu Wuchang could comprehend the information had nothing to do with him.

It had nothing to do with him whether or not he could understand and master the Six Comets Records.

Starting from Huang Qian's Memory Card to finally handing over the stone tablet, Su Jingxing had gained the Six Comets Records, the Full Moon Breathing Technique, Yue Dongliu's Martial Sage Manuscript, and the last two Soul Nurturing Stones.

Compared to the Six Comets Records and the Full Moon Breathing Technique, the Soul Nurturing Stones were the most important.

He had obtained all 12 Soul Nurturing Stones.

After Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he immediately took them out and arranged them.

Su Jingxing experimented with all kinds of arrangements—lining them in a row, stacking them in threes in a line, forming a circle and more.

Im the end, there was no reaction.

"are they fake?"

"No, the Soul Nurturing Stones are real. The lack of reaction might be because the arrangement is wrong. Since a set of Soul Nurturing Stones can nourish soul power, they might have to be arranged in the form of an array formation."

"Energy Gathering Array?"

At this thought, Su Jingxing first tried to set up a basic array formation.

Just like how he had previously used Energy Gathering Stones to set up an array formation to accelerate the maturation of the Concentration Fruit.

Now, using the Soul Nurturing Stones to replace the Energy Gathering Stones should.

Swish!

The air warped, and an invisible aura burst forth.

Su Jingxing, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the 12 Soul Nurturing Stones, shuddered. His mind seemed to have been wrapped in a stream of energy, like he was in a spring breeze or a fish in the sea.

Instantly, his mind and soul were immersed.

Success!

There was no need for complicated array formations. Just a basic array formation alone could unleash the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stones.

Compared to the Concentration Fruit, it could quickly take effect and increase one's soul power.

The Soul Nurturing Stone set worked very slowly, but its advantage was in its permanence.

This feeling of being slowly nourished was also very unique. There was no need to be afraid of mistakes and other situations.

Therefore, for the next few days, apart from eating and going to the toilet, Su Jingxing spent the rest of his time "nourishing" his soul.

He did not pay attention to what was happening in the outside world, nor did anyone disturb him.

One day, Su Jingxing's Martial Art True Intent opened its eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, Su Jingxing felt that the entire world had become clearer.

The ceiling above his head, the floor beneath his feet, the table nearby, the patterns on it, the small tree outside the window, the branches and leaves on it, the distant mountain range, the trees, the aura of the Sky Water River nearby, the aura of the crematorium diagonally across, the exhaust of cars

running on the road

Everything changed when he opened his eyes.

If the past was like watching a low definition movie on his computer, the present was watching a huge screen in a cinema.

Although it was the same movie, the sensory stimulation it brought was very different.

This was one of the abilities of Martial Art True Intent!

Martial Art True Intent did not only look at the world with "eyes", but wholeheartedly.

It "looked" at the world with the eyes, mouth, nose, hands, feet, and even skin!

Su Jingxing was immersed in it. After a long time, his consciousness returned. He controlled his Martial Art True Intent to stand up and stretch its limbs.

The entire process was slow but powerful.

It took almost half an hour before it successfully stretched its arms and kicked its legs.

Su Jingxing's main body closed his eyes and sat cross-legged without moving.

However, his Martial Art True Intent stepped into the air and paced around the room.

'When it got close to the window, he could feel the sunlight shining on him. Instead of feeling hot and tearing, it was warm.

The Ethereal Sword Immortal had said that some Martial Art True Intents would feel a piercing pain under sunlight.

The abilities and power it possessed would be greatly limited.

$u Jingxing used himself as his Martial Art True Intent, but in the end, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

He controlled his Martial Art True Intent to wander around for a while before returning to his original body. Just as he was about to put it away, he suddenly remembered the uniqueness of the Full Moon Breathing Technique.

It required the entire person and even his skin to be breathing.

Right now, my Martial Art True Intent also happens to be fully focused on "seeing" the world. I wonder if it's suitable?

Let's do it. Su Jingxing continued to close his eyes and circulate the Full Moon Breathing Technique using his Martial Art True Intent.

Moments later——

"It worked!"

His Martial Art True Intent was actually able to execute the Full Moon Breathing Technique.

Of course, without the moonlight essence from the full moon, there was no effect even if he circulated it.

However, he would no longer feel suffocated, or his breathing becoming irregular, and so on.

After experimenting, Su Jingxing stopped with satisfaction and put away his Martial Art True Intent.

Now that he had succeeded with his Martial Art True Intent, all that was lacking was that his true energy had yet to fully liquefy.

Of course, this was also because Su Jingxing's cultivation level was too high.

If he had about 80 years of cultivation, he would have long converted them all into liquid and converted them into true essence.

$u Jingxing looked into his dantian and sensed that there was still about a tenth of his true energy left.

Soon, one-tenth

Ding!

His phone beeped.

$u Jingxing picked it up and saw that it was a text message.

Opening it —

"Brother Li, the three stone tablets are gathered. The legacy ground will be manifested on Green Cloud Mountain, Yandang Peak at noon tomorrow!"

Pu Mingyue sent a message as promised.

They were finally opening the legacy ground left behind by the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu!

Chapter 217 Forced

Several days had passed since Su Jingxing had handed the third stone tablet to Lu Wuchang. He had thought that soon, the three parties would join forces and enter the legacy ground.

In the end, he waited until now.

He wondered if it was because of Lu Wuchang?

Perhaps he spent a lot of time studying the stone tablet, which resulted in the wait.

Su Jingxing pondered and replied to the text.

Got it!

Since he had decided to go to the underground palace, he could not do without the necessary attire.

The alias "Li Jing' used this time was a middle-aged man. Su Jingxing had specially bought a new human skin mask and disguised himself as an unkempt man with a beard.

On his way out the next day, he put on a new cloak and mask.

Green Cloud Mountain Range.

Yandang Peak.

The mountain wasn't very tall, but the platform at the top was very spacious.

It was yet to be 11 a.m. but figures had already appeared on the mountaintop.

Su Jingxing landed on a mountain far away and looked at the peak of Yandang Peak from afar.

Yan Yuanfeng, and Sect Master Yuan Zhuojun of the Iron Thread Sect.

Xu Tailong of Tai Long Corporation, Elder Li Chunzhen of the Green Cloud Court, Third Elder Cao Feng of the Divine Fist Sect.

Li Lilai from the Li Family. Zhao Zhongyi from the Cross Alliance. Han Zong, the President of the Xuantian Institute of Martial Arts. Qi Conglai from the Qi Family and Zhou Youbing from the Zhou Family.

Every major faction in Qinghe City had sent one or two fourth-grade experts to the peak.

A long time after they arrived, close to noon, Pu Mingyue from the Hundred Flower Valley then arrived with Wang Tiedao.

They were followed by Bu Qing, with people from the Martial Suppression Office, including Li Linzhou.

Finally, Lu Wuchang arrived at Yandang Peak with people from the Prefecture Army, Gu Zhanlin, and a commander whom Su Jingxing had heard his voice before.

Apart from these public figures, there were also many other martial artists hidden in the woods around Yandang Peak.

These people were also in very high realms. They were either in the fourth-grade or fifth-grade. Of course, as they were too far away, Su Jingxing couldn't tell if there was anyone in the third-grade or not.

In short, a large group of people arrived at Yandang Peak before noon. "Cough…" Seemingly having already discussed this beforehand, at noon, Lu Wuchang stepped into the air. He looked at everyone and said, "I believe everyone is here for the same purpose. To save time, let's cut to the chase. I happen to have a legacy stone tablet, so I'll contribute it first."

As he spoke, he removed a long wooden chest from his back and took out the stone tablet inside. He wrapped it with his true energy and floated it in the air.

Swoosh!

Seeing this, without a word, Gu Zhanlin wrapped his true energy around the second stone tablet and floated it beside Lu Wuchang's one.

The others focused their gazes on Bu Qing. The pale-faced Bu Qing waved his hand. Li Linzhou, who looked equally aloof, released his true energy and wrapped it around the third stone tablet. It floated up and stayed next to the two stone tablets.

After a thousand years, the three stone tablets had finally reunited.

Everyone's gaze fell on the stone tablets.

"Alright."

Lu Wuchang shouted, "Now that we have gathered all three stone tablets, the next step is to manifest the location of the legacy ground. This step is very simple. We just need to stimulate the legacy stone tablet with your true energy. I'm very honored to have the opportunity to stimulate the stone tablet. Of course, if anyone is willing to substitute me, you can come up here and do so."

Lu Wuchang looked around as he spoke.

No one said anything. Everyone's gaze remained fixed on the stone tablets.

At this point, all the leaders of the major factions in Qinghe City knew about the Martial Sage legacy. Above the first-grade was the Transcendent-grade, known as Martial Sage. Prior to this, this was the first time many people had heard this title and learned this information.

Then, before they could finish digesting it, they learned that the Martial Sage had left behind a legacy in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

The shock that this news brought could be imagined Compared to the treasures in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, the legacy of a Martial Sage was undoubtedly more attractive and desirable.

However, the main factions that had their eyes on the Martial Sage legacy this time were the Hundred Flower Valley, the Changyang Prefecture Army, Bu Qing from the Martial Suppression Office, the third-grade Lu Wuchang, and the Ghost Ride organization that very few people knew about.

These people leading the exploration of the legacy ground were all third-grade martial artists.

Seizing a legacy from third-grade martial artists?

That would be dreaming. This was not the way to seek death.

It was precisely because they knew that they did not have any hopes of obtaining the legacy that the major factions targeted the treasures in the legacy ground.

Since there was no hope for the legacy, they could at least pick up a few treasures, right?

Therefore, the major factions sent out representatives, ranging from one person to five people. The leaders were all fourth-grade without exception.

They knew their position very well. They just had to watch the show in the early stages. There was no need for them to get involved, nor could they afford to.

After Lu Wuchang called out, the crowd fell silent.

"Cough…"

Lu Wuchang wasn't embarrassed. After a while, when no one responded, he said loudly again, "Since no one is coming up, I'll get started."

The three legacy stone tables were wrapped in true energy of three different attributes and floated motionlessly.

Now, to stimulate them for an effect, naturally, only one type of true energy could be used.

After Li Linzhou and Gu Zhanlin pulled back their true energies, Lu Wuchang immediately came in and placed the three stone tablets together, wrapping them in his true energy.

They were either pieced together, connected end to end, or made into a circle.

He tried a few methods, but the stone tablets still did not respond.

Suddenly, an idea struck Lu Wuchang. In front of everyone, he put the bottom ends of the three stone tablets together, creating a triangle in the middle.

Then, he washed them with his true energy.

Buzz!

The air suddenly trembled.

The three legacy stone tablets finally reacted.

The bottoms of the stone tablets set off one another. Under the stimulation of true energy, they suddenly emitted light, filling up the triangle.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

When the triangle was filled with light, the three legacy stone tablets connected completely and began to spin like disproportionate fan blades.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Winds howled and light shot out.

The legacy stone tablets spiraled and slowly floated into the sky.

Seeing this, Lu Wuchang quickly backed away.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of the wind grew louder and faster.

After floating to a certain height, the legacy stone tablets that were pieced together suddenly flew towards the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

"Give chase!"

"Hurry up and follow!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The people who had gathered at the top of the mountain and were hiding around Yandang Peak immediately followed after seeing this.

Almost all of them flew up, stepping on the air or directly flying through the air.

They chased after the three legacy stone tablets, heading straight into the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

Even though Su Jingxing knew the destination of the stone tablets, he also followed the rest to head to the legacy ground.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The group drew a clear trajectory in the air.

After a while, they arrived at the depths of the center of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, where Su Jingxing had come to last time.

Buzz!

The air vibrated.

After the three legacy stone tablets arrived above this area, the light suddenly flared, forming a terrifying pressure that weighed down forcefully from above.

Dong!

An invisible sound echoed through the world.

The legacy ground that was filled with danger was stimulated. A circle of visible white light suddenly appeared and blocked the descent of the three legacy stone tablets.

Unfortunately, it only lasted for less than ten seconds before dissipating.

The three connected stone tablets were like a key that easily opened the entrance.

After the white light disappeared, a valley filled with strange jugged rocks and few plants came into sight.

Before everyone could take a closer look, the three legacy stone tablets continued to glow and flew southeast of the valley. In an instant, they separated and turned back into independent legacy stone tablets that scattered in three directions.

In every direction, there was a dent in the ground that allowed each stone tablet to sink into it.

Boom!

The three legacy stone steles had just fitted into their respective dents.

The ground suddenly trembled. An invisible but extremely repulsive force swept up from the ground and into the surroundings.

The crowd of people either scattered around the valley or floating in the air could feel the power of this force.

If one did not circulate their true energy to resist, they would only last for 15 seconds at most before being pushed away.

Before the underground palace was even seen, the strange array formation that enveloped the outside had already begun its screening.

Those who were not in the sixth-grade or above were not even qualified to see the underground palace!

Boom!

The ground shook, and the tremors grew stronger. The mountains around the valley began to shake.

Deep in the center, the tremors were the strongest.

Just as many people thought that it would cause a huge earthquake, a short mountain suddenly caved in at the center of the intersection of the three legacy stone tablets.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang, a hole with a radius of 15 to 16 meters appeared before everyone.

The repulsion continued.

Less than 20 meters below, a silver door appeared in front of most people. "The legacy underground palace has appeared!" Lu Wuchang shouted happily and pointed at the silver door, signaling for everyone to look over.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The crowd first descended from the sky and surrounded the edge of the hole, gathering their sights to look down at the door below.

Stars and moons were engraved on the silver door.

Full moons, crescent moons, half moons, waning moons…

Among the various shapes of the moons, three moons slowly turned red. When the red color was saturated–

Crack!

Boom!

The tightly shut silver door automatically pulled to the sides.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Seeing this, the crowd around the hole immediately resisted the repulsive force and jumped down. Wrapped in true energy, they pushed their bodies and arrived at the silver door.

They watched as the door opened completely, revealing the interior. Without looking any further, they charged in one after another, afraid that the treasures would be snatched away by another person if they were half a step behind.

Su Jingxing was neither fast nor slow. He fell behind. Pu Mingyue was with him. "Brother Li, don't forget our agreement."

Pu Mingyue condensed her true energy and transmitted her voice to Su Jingxing.

"Don't worry." Su Jingxing also did the same and replied, "Isn't Head Pu going to hurry

over?"

"There's no hurry." Pu Mingyue chuckled. "If it's so easy to obtain the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, I'll willingly admit defeat and turn to leave right away!"

"Does Head Pu know what the agreement between Bu Qing and the others is?"

"Brother Li, are you asking why they joined forces to open the underground palace?" Pu Mingyue asked.

"Pretty much."

"Ha, it's not that they're willing to, but they were forced to," said Pu Mingyue with a smile. "Bu Qing and the Prefecture Army both want to keep the legacy stone tablet and slowly study it. However, Ghost Ride won't agree!"

Pu Mingyue's voice turned cold. "In order to obtain the legacy stone tablet, the people of Ghost Ride launched a sneak attack on the Prefecture Army and the Martial Suppression Office at the same time. They broke into their headquarters and attempted to seize the stone tablets!

"Even though in the end, the Prefecture Army and the Martial Suppression Office managed to beat back the people from the Ghost Ride, Bu Qing was injured. A commander of the Prefecture Army was also severely injured.

"It was precisely because of this that they had no choice but to work together to gather three stone tablets and open the underground palace. "Without Ghost Ride, we could still afford to wait!"

1111

So Ghost Ride had forced their hands.

Both the Prefecture Army and the Martial Suppression Office wanted to keep the stone tablets after getting them. They were in no hurry to open the underground palace.

The reason was unknown.

Perhaps they wanted to study the secrets of the stone tablets before having designs on each other's stone tablets.

Simply put, they might have wanted to take all three legacy stone tablets for themselves!

Unfortunately, Ghost Ride couldn't wait and directly broke into their headquarters.

Left with no choice, Bu Qing, Gu Zhanlin, and the rest approached Lu Wuchang.

No wonder Bu Qing's face is so pale. Turns out he's injured.

By the way, since the underground palace has opened, the people from Ghost Ride should be following behind, right? Su Jingxing thought inwardly. As the two of them chatted, they entered the underground palace.

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly came from inside.

"What happened?"

"Monster! It's filled with monsters!"

"Be careful! Run!"

Shouts, cries, and angry yells sounded non-stop for a time.

When Su Jingxing heard this, he pushed off his toes. Following Pu Mingyue, he swiftly flew over.

Swish! Swish!

The people behind also quickly dashed into a spacious hall.

In the hall, the few people who entered first were being attacked by five two-meter-tall little giants in bronze armor. "This is…" Su Jingxing stared at them and raised his eyebrows.

"They're Mechanical Bronze Men."

Pu Mingyue continued, "This is the entrance. All the Bronze Men are guards. Every Bronze Man is invulnerable to swords and spears. The material of their armor is special, and can immune them to most true energy. To defeat them, one has to have at least 50 years of true energy cultivation."

"Ha, as expected of the Head Mingyue."

Not far away, Lu Wuchang heard this and replied with a smile, "That's right, they're the Bronze Guards! They have survived for a thousand years. As long as they are activated, they can fight again. When the entrance to the underground palace opened earlier, they were activated. The combat power of the Bronze Guards is not something these few people can defeat!"

He looked at Yan Yuanfeng, Yuan Zhuojun, Cao Feng, Qi Conglai, Zhou Youbing, and the others with disdain.

"50 years of true energy cultivation is only the beginning. That will allow them to resist the Bronze Guards. To truly defeat them, you'll have to rely on actual capabilities." "For example, this!"

With that, Lu Wuchang struck out with his palm. His true essence transformed into true energy and condensed into a palm imprint that struck a Bronze Guard.

Bang!

With a dull thud, the Bronze Guard was sent flying backward.

When it landed, its feet rubbed against the ground, producing sparks and leaving two pitch-black marks. A clear palm print appeared on the Bronze Guard's chest.

But.

The Bronze Guard did not collapse or disintegrate.

Still brandishing its bronze saber, it charged towards the embarrassed Lu Wuchang.

"This… this is an accident!"

Chapter 218 Good Fellow

As Lu Wuchang retreated, he struck again with a dry laugh. Boom!

Boom! A palm imprint condensed and intercepted the attacker from a distance. The target was the joints of the Bronze Guard's legs.

However–

Swish! Swish!

The saber in the bronze guard's hand slashed upwards. As it stirred up two gales, it easily shattered the palm imprint.

Hu! Hu! Saber winds raged, the saber energy was full of power.

The Bronze Guard's seemingly stiff body was agile and strong as it moved.

After approaching Lu Wuchang, it used his tough armor to withstand the attacks that descended on it The bronze saber in its hand slashed at Lu Wuchang, forcing him to retreat continuously.

Lu Wuchang had no time to waste on nonsense. Embarrassed, he stared at the bronze guard.

A pair of fleshy palms with true energy circulating was comparable to a treasure weapon as it landed multiple strikes on the Bronze Guard's shell.

The level of cultivation he mobilized increased with each circulation.

The Bronze Guard occasionally retreated, but soon pounced over again and continued engaging Lu Wuchang.

Even a third-grade martial artist like Lu Wuchang was unable to quickly finish off a Bronze Guard.

The circumstances of the fourth-grade ones could be imagined.

Usually, only the joint efforts of two or three people could contend against one Bronze Guard.

Even so, they would still get wounded by the Bronze Guards from time to time and vomit blood.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

With dull thuds, five more Bronze Guard walked out from the dark corners.

In less than three seconds.

Dong, dong, dong! Another ten Bronze Guards walked out from the corners.

With this, Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and the others had no choice but to take action.

There were too many Bronze Guards.

Everyone who entered the underground palace started fighting.

A third-grade martial artist alone could handle a Bronze Guard.

Fourth-grade and fifth-grade martial artists worked together to fend off one.

If these Bronze Guard had souls, those few third-grade martial artists could activate their Martial Art True Intents and take care of most of them through suppression. Unfortunately, as mechanical beings, not only were the Bronze Guards soulless, their shells were terrifyingly tough. They were immune to hot, ice-cold, thick and heavy, soft and gentle, Yin, and other attributes of true energy.

To put it bluntly, to defeat the Bronze Guards, one could only rely on brute force or profound cultivation.

Su Jingxing possessed both. However, he did not let himself appear too outstanding. Swish! Swish! Swish!

His figure flashed as he moved around a Bronze Guard.

As his true energy spiraled, Su Jingxing clenched his fists and hammered the Bronze Guard's joints.

First, he destroyed his feet, then his hands, and finally his head, revealing the array patterns that were filled with lines and the structure of the mechanisms.

The core component was a special metal piece.

After the Bronze Guard collapsed, this metal piece immediately burned and turned into dust.

Su Jingxing didn't even have a chance to study

it.

He could only flash and pounce towards the second Bronze Guard.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom–

Almost half an hour later, all the Bronze Guard had either fallen apart or had their limbs broken, unable to move.

The battle ended.

Su Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, and the others were fine. At most, they had expended some true energy.

As for the other fourth-grade and fifth-grade martial artists, their conditions were much more serious.

Although not everyone was injured, hot air rose from them and sweat flowed.

Yan Yuanfeng and Zhao Zhongyi, who Su Jingxing was familiar with, even had their arms broken. They leaned against the stone pillars and panted heavily.

They were only on the first level of the underground palace, and they hadn't even seen the legacy, yet more than half of the team had been crippled.

They were usually powerful fourth-grade martial artists who could rule an area outside, yet they could not withstand a single wave of attacks here.

Most of the Bronze Guards were handled by Su Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, Pu Mingyue, and a few other third-grade martial artists.

Without third-grade martial artists…

Shaking his head, Su Jingxing followed Pu Mingyue, Lu Wuchang, Gu Zhanlin, and the others deeper in. This underground palace extended downwards.

No one knew the exact levels it had. The main hall where the Bronze Guard were was only the center of the first level.

Su Jingxing and the others passed through the hall and found the entrance to the second level.

Not long after, they arrived at the center hall of the second level.

"Ugh!"

Li Linzhou, Wang Tiedao, Han Zong, Li Chunzhen, and a few other fourth-grade martial artists who were about to enter the hall suddenly stiffened and froze on the spot.

Su Jingxing, who had just entered the door, also felt a strong pressure suddenly land on his shoulders, as if he was carrying a mountain.

Swish!

Lu Wuchang immediately activated his Martial Art True Intent, a Landscape Folding Fan to resist the terrifying pressure. "Good fellow, it's actually a Soul Suppressing Stone!"

He "held" the glowing fan and walked step by step to the center of the hall. He looked up at the oval-shaped brown stone plate mounted on the dome of the hall and exclaimed.

"It is indeed the Soul Suppressing Stone."

A bright-colored lotus flower circled beneath Pu Mingyue's feet as she slowly walked over. "Hmph!" Bu Qing sneered coldly. The Reverse Light Spear behind him shot out rays of reflected light towards the dome.

"This Soul Suppressing Stone is also a rare treasure. Who wants it?"

Gu Zhanlin asked with a smile with a gray leopard beside him. "Does Commander Gu want it? The Soul Suppressing Stone is a rare item. How about we let you have it?"

Lu Wuchang "fanned" himself and joked.

At the same time, he noticed Su Jingxing, who had the Sishui Horned Dragons wrapped around him, from the corner of his eye. He raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "This friend's Martial Art True Intent is very familiar? If I'm not wrong, this is the Sishui Horned Dragon, right?"

"It's said that the Martial Art True Intent of the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong, who caused quite a stir in Qinghe City years ago, was also the Sishui Horned Dragon."

"And then?" asked Su Jingxing in a low voice.

He had restrained his aura, and his cloak and mask were brand new.

Within a short period, Lu Wuchang wouldn't be able to tell that Su Jingxing was the owner of the third stone tablet who traded with him.

"Um…"

Faced with Su Jingxing's question, Lu Wuchang was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he looked at Gu Zhanlin, Bu Qing, and the others.

To his surprise, no one bothered with him. Bu Qing directly walked to the back of the hall and searched for the entrance to the third level.

"Don't look at me. Although the Soul Suppressing Stone is not bad, it will take a lot of effort to remove it since Yue Dongliu put it here. I'll pass. If Marshal Lu likes it, you can take it." Gu Zhanlin raised an eyebrow at Lu Wuchang and walked towards the back of the hall.

"I…"

"You can stay here and take it down slowly."

Pu Mingyue said coolly, "Brother Li, let's go."

With that, she followed Gu Zhanlin.

Su Jingxing nodded and followed behind slowly.

Lu Wuchang was left behind, his face flushed. He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath before catching up. He didn't believe that Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and the others couldn't tell what he meant.

Su Jingxing had obtained the treasure of the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong! He even inherited his Martial Art True Intent, Sishui Horned Dragon.

In that case, it wasn't that Lu Wuchang had something against Su Jingxing and wanted to provoke Gu Zhanlin and the others.

He was just surprised and had never thought of creating conflict.

Of course, it would be best if Gu Zhanlin and the others could stop Su Jingxing!

Chapter 219: Known For Ferocity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Because that way, they would have one less competitor for the legacy left behind by the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu.

No.

More than one!

Su Jingxing was a third-grade martial artist. To stop him, at least two people were required.

'This meant three fewer competitors.

Moreover, if he really wanted to be calculative, his nephew, Lu Chen, had become a vegetable because of Su Jingxing.

Lu Wuchang would be more than happy if he could create some trouble for Su Jingxing like this.

Unfortunately.

No one was a fool. Everyone who walked into the hall ignored him.

Soul Suppressing Stone.

As the name suggested, it was a strange stone that targeted a person at the soul level.

Under the Soul Suppression Stone, those who did not condense Martial Art True Intent could not resist the terrifying pressure at all.

Of course, if one's soul power was as powerful as Su Jingxing's level, they could also withstand it.

In fact, Su Jingxing could have walked into the hall without releasing the Sishui Horned Dragon.

However, that would be even more eye-catching than releasing the Sishui Horned Dragon.

The Sishui Horned Dragon was inherited from Liu Chenglong, Su Jingxing had obtained the Rising Dragon Saber King's treasure.

This attracted attention.

But Su Jingxing wasn't afraid.

Now, he was mo longer afraid of any third-grade martial artist. Even if he could not defeat a second-grade martial artist, he could still escape.

As for first-grade.

Liu Chenglong was only a first-grade martial artist when he was alive. A first-grade martial artist would not be interested in the things left behind by Liu Chenglong. At the very least, they would not provoke and make enemies for themselves for no reason.

Not everyone was a Diamond King.

With no children, no ties and no constraints.

Therefore, compared to relying on his soul power to withstand the pressure of the Soul Suppressing Stone, Su Jingxing was more willing to expose the fact that he had obtained the treasure from the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

How could Gu Zhanlin, Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, and the others not understand Lu Wuchang's wicked ideas?

However, no one was willing to risk their lives against Su Jingxing for this trivial matter.

The legacy of the Martial Sage was right before them.

Only someone who had nothing better to do would cause trouble for Su Jingxing.

Including the other three third-grade martial artists whose faces could not be seen under their black robes, after the screening of the central hall of the second level, only nine people had entered the third level.

Su Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin and Fan Qi, who was also a commander of the Prefecture Army, as well as three black-robed figures whose faces could not be seen.

'When they were outside, they had been standing with Qi Conglai and Zhou Youbing's teams.

It wasn't clear if they were third-grade martial artists hired by the Qi and Zhou Families.

Or people from Ghost Ride?

In any case, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and Bu Qing had been wary of the three of them the whole time.

Su Jingxing also put some attention to take note of their auras.

The Martial Art True Intents manifested by these three people were all very common.

Ahuge hammer floated above one's head, a saber floated behind another, and a red vine wrapped around the last.

The three of them walked at the back, with more than ten meters between each person.

'The nine people walked through the hall and entered the third level.

Then, they stopped at the entrance of the third level's hall.

"What's going on?"

Lu Wuchang stared at the situation in the hall and his eyes widened slightly.

The third level's central hall was completely different from that on the second level.

'There was no spacious space inside the third level's hall, only a passageway paved with jade.

'A passageway that was three meters tall, two meters wide, with an unknown length.

At first glance, one saw a length of 90 meters, followed by a 90-degree turn. No one knew what was present after the turn.

"I think I've seen this passageway before."

With that, Gu Zhanlin walked in.

"Hold on."

Lu Wuchang subconsciously shouted, "There's something wrong with this passageway…"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

'The strange sound of air being torn apart sounded almost at the same time.

On the jade walls above Gu Zhanlin's head, beneath his feet, and by his sides, crescent blades that were visible to the naked eye suddenly shot out and attacked Gu Zhanlin.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Gu Zhanlin's true essence covered the surface of his body. His Martial Art True Intent, the gray leopard roared and pounced left and right. As it tore apart the blades, he moved his body and retreated.

Even so, Gu Zhanlin's legs were trembling and his face was pale as he retreated out of the passageway.

"They injure the mind! These attacks are not only harmful to the body, but also to the mind!"

Gu Zhanlin commented in fear.

If he had been just moved a little slower, his soul would have been severely injured, and his Martial Art True Intent, the gray leopard, would have shattered and dissipated.

On the first level of the underground palace, the Bronze Guards were extremely hardy.

On the second level, the Soul Suppressing Stone targeted the soul.

On the third level, both the physical body and soul were targeted!

"It's harmful to the body and mind. This seems to be…"

"Dragon Slaying Platform!"

Fan Qi, who had been silent all this while, said in a deep voice, "This passageway is the famous Dragon Slaying Platform. There are many similar existences. For thousands of years, these Dragon Slaying Platforms have been known for their ferocity. Countless top ranked martial artists have died in them."

"Tss! That scary?" exclaimed Lu Wuchang.

"What do you think? If you don't believe me, you can try going in there." Gu Zhanlin regained his composure and snapped.

"Don't be ungrateful, Leopard Gu. I reminded you just now, but you didn't take me seriously and just walked in on your own." Lu Wuchang rolled his eyes and retorted, "Now that you were startled and almost got injured, you've become agitated?"

"I can't be bothered to argue with you." Gu Zhanlin did not look at him.

This fellow did warn him, but it was too late.

"Tsk." Lu Wuchang chuckled. "That's because you can't out-talk me."

'The passageway was silent.

'There was a certain distance between all nine people as they looked at the incomparably bright passage and fell into hesitation.

'The Dragon Slaying Platform.

Su Jingxing had seen it in Yue Dongliu's The Martial Sage's Manuscript after the deal he had made with Lu Wuchang last night.

After that, he searched online and learned what it was.

Simply put, this was a corridor with terrifying lethality, a platform that specialized in slaughtering living beings.

Not only humans, barbarians, and even the legendary dragon race could be killed!

'This was because the Dragon Slaying Platform was almost immune to true energy of almost all attributes.

'The walls and ground made of jade were incomparably solid. They were impervious to fire and lightning.

The visible energy blades released were extremely lethal.

One's protective true essence could be easily torn apart, and Martial Art True Intent could also be forcefully shattered.

More importantly, this thing was also lethal to the mind and soul.

'When the energy blades strike the body, they also inflict damage to the soul at the same time.

If the passageway was short, one could rush through it in one go.

However, the problem was that the lengths of the Dragon Slaying Platform varied, and they all contained several twists and turns.

'They didn't know how many 90-degree turns there were.

Three, four, five, six.

All were possible!

They could not charge forward in one go and the distance was unknown.

How many people could withstand the attacks and complete the journey?

"As expected of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage. The test to obtain the legacy is extraordinarily difficult."

In the silence, Lu Wuchang broke the silence and sighed.

"It's not impossible to solve the Dragon Slaying Platform." Pu Mingyue said softly.

"Oh, what do you mean?" asked Lu Wuchang, turning to look at her.

Su Jingxing, Bu Qing, and the others also turned to look at Pu Mingyue.

"You don't have to look at me."

Pu Mingyue chuckled. Her gaze fell on a tall figure among the three black-robed figures. She blinked and said, "It will depend on Brother Zhao.. I think Great General Zhao has a way to overcome it, right?"

Chapter 220: Li Jing, A Nobody. Greetings, Everyone.

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Great General Zhao?

Great General!

Is this a title? Or a nickname?

Or.

Areal general?

If that's true, isn't he a first-grade expert?

Each of the 18 prefectures in the Yu Nation has an army.

The highest in command of the Prefecture Armies was the Great General.

Every Great General is basically a first-grade martial artist!

The name of Changyang Pretecture Army's top command is Zhao Fengxian.

Great General Zhao.

Could it really be him?

"Haha, why are you so sure that I have a way to overcome the Dragon Slaying Platform?"

As Su Jingxing pondered, a loud laugh sounded.

It was the black-robed figure whom Pu Mingyue had locked onto. As he strode over, he removed the black robe on his body, revealing a uniform battle robe of the Prefecture Army. The stars on his shoulders shone brightly.

This was really the supreme commander of the Changyang Prefecture Army, Zhao Fengxian, Great General Zhao!

Su Jingxing had seen his photo online.

"Because you've done it once."

Pu Mingyue replied with a chuckle, "It's been a few years since we last met, Great General Zhao's cultivation has improved significantly. If not for this test, I wouldn't have dared to confirm my guess."

Zhao Fengxian was speechless.

"So you were just testing me?" Zhao Fengxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Looks like I wasn't composed enough. I was exposed once Head Pu tricked me."

"Alright, I admit defeat."

Zhao Fengxian exhaled. Then, he looked at the other two black-robed men and said with a grin, "I wonder if Head Master Pu recognized them?"

"These two…"

Pu Mingyue's gaze shifted to the other two black-robed people. "If I'm not mistaken, this person's surname is Huang, this person's surname is Xia. Am I right?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Fengxian laughed. "Not bad, not bad. Eccentric Huang, Sister Xia, you don't have to cover up anymore. She has already recognized you both. You'd better reveal yourselves directly like I did!"

The two black-robed figures were speechless.

$u Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, Bu Qing, and the others also looked at them with interest.

"Senior Sister Mingyue, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that you would still be able to recognize me when we meet again."

The black-robed figure with the Martial Art True Intent of red vines wrapped around her said in a clear and melodious voice. Pulling off the black robe, a beautiful woman in a long green dress was revealed.

"Tt really is you, Junior Sister Xia."

Pu Mingyue's eyes lit up when she saw her. She said happily, "I didn't expect to reunite with you here either."

"Hmph!"

'When the last black-robed figure heard this, he shouted unhappily, "Lass, I've known you since you were a little kid. Now that we've met again, you said I have the surname Huang instead of addressing me as Old Master? Can you live with your conscience?"

As he spoke, he pulled the black robe to reveal an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion.

"Elder Huang, this isn't my fault. You were the one who covered yourself up first."

Pu Mingyue smiled and said, "Since you don't intend to expose yourself, I naturally have to cooperate with you, right?"

"Then why did you reveal my surname?" The old man glared at her.

"Chaos Saber King, Huang Xinghai, Red Vine Fairy, Xia Zhilan!"

Lu Wuchang murmured in surprise as he listened to the conversation.

Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat.

This was the first time he was meeting these two top-ranked experts, but he had "seen" their names and titles through Di Donglei's memories.

The Chaos Saber King, Huang Xinghai, a veteran second-grade expert who was close to a hundred years old.

The Red Vine Fairy, Xia Zhilan, was in the third-grade, but she was not far from the second-grade.

'What was worth mentioning was that she was also a member of the imperial Xia Family.

Yes, a distant relative.

More than a hundred years ago, Xia Zhilan's lineage had left the imperial palace and established a royal residence.

After the invasion of the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect, the city where the royal residence was located was destroyed. The royal bloodline that Xia Zhilan belonged to had pretty much died out.

Only a few people escaped. They did not go to the capital. Instead, like ordinary martial arts families, they went to another city and their lineage lasted till this day.

To be honest, Xia Zhilan and the Xia Family in the capital were very distant.

She was much closer to the Hundred Flower Valley.

When Xia Zhilan was young, she had once lived in the Hundred Flower Valley for a period of time, about three or five years, so she was like sisters with the disciples of the Hundred Flower Valley.

For this reason, Pu Mingyue was overjoyed to see her.

There was a high chance that the Qi and Zhou Families were the ones who contacted these two people.

In other words, they were the backers of the Qi and Zhou Families?

"Everyone has shown themselves. This friend, will you still hide yourself?"

'As Su Jingxing was in thought, Zhao Fengxian suddenly shifted his gaze to him.

Lu Wuchang's interest was piqued and he stared straight at Su Jingxing.

Gu Zhanlin, Bu Qing, and Fan Qi also looked over.

"Lass, are you very close to this young man?" Huang Xinghai asked Pu Mingyue directly.

Facing Huang Xinghai, who was nearly a hundred years old, the others present were all "young people".

"The Hundred Flower Valley is indebted to Brother Li."

Pu Mingyue replied cleverly, "Great General Zhao, since he likes to wear a mask, why do you have to force him?"

"Heh, isn't everyone being honest with each other now? If there's only one person left who's being secretive, it'll easily cause unnecessary misunderstanding," said Zhao Fengxian with a smile.

"That's right, everyone here is known except him."

Lu Wuchang interjected, "He's the only one who's wearing a mask and a cloak, making himself special. No matter how you look at it, it's problematic!"

Problematic my ass!

Su Jingxing cursed inwardly.

It's one thing for this fellow to flirt with women, but why is he so talkative?

His movements were not slow. He removed his cloak and mask.

In any case, he still had the human skin mask!

This custom-made human skin mask was the most expensive. After disguising his appearance, one could hardly tell that it was fake without touching his face.

Asa result, a yellow-faced man with thick black eyebrows and a short beard appeared.

The reason why Su Jingxing cooperated to expose his appearance was not because he was afraid, but because there was no need to fall out with Zhao Fengxian at this time.

After all, finding the Martial Sage's legacy was the most important.

If he didn't show his face, Zhao Fengxian was more likely to keep an eye on him. Over time, he would definitely get frustrated.

Isn't it just showing my face? This human skin mask covers my face without a trace. I'll let you see all you want!

Su Jingxing cooperatively introduced himself.

"Li Jing, a nobody. Greetings, everyone."

um

Lu Wuchang was speechless.

Clearly, he did not expect Su Jingxing to be an ordinary burly man.

Had it not been for the fact that he had inherited Liu Chenglong's Martial Art True Intent, and his ordinary face now carried a hint of authority, such an appearance wouldn't cause much of a stir on the streets.

"alright, Brother Li has already shown himself. Great General Zhao, can you tell us how to overcome the Dragon Slaying Platform?"

Pu Mingyue cut into the strange atmosphere and changed the topic.

"Li Jing?"

Zhao Fengxian pondered for a moment before smiling. "Although this is the first time I've heard of you, you're not a nobody. From today onwards, everyone will remember you!"

With that, he shifted his gaze and looked at the jade path.

"There is indeed a way to overcome the Dragon Slaying Platform.

"This method is also very simple!"

Chapter 221: The Loophole of the Dragon Slaying Platform

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"In what way?" Lu Wuchang couldn't help but interrupt.

Zhao Fengxian turned around and glanced at him.

Lu Wuchang shuddered and took two steps back with a sheepish smile.

"The Dragon Slaying Platform has a memory.

Zhao Fengxian retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Although it's an inanimate object, it attacks all life that enters it indiscriminately. Remember, life!

"Therefore, all sentient beings can pass.

"And the Dragon Slaying Platform's attacks aren't endless. It also needs to be maintained with energy.

"According to what I know, for a certain period of time, the Dragon Slaying Platform will only carry out a limited number of attacks when facing sentient life forms of the same species.

"It means that the nine of us can enter in batches, but only the first three, four, or five will be attacked!

"For those who enter later, the Dragon Slaying Platform would have remembered the life force of the human species and choose to ignore them!"

"Huh?"

Lu Wuchang was shocked.

Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, and the others were also stunned.

So the famous Dragon Slaying Platform only targeted the first few people in.

Those who entered subsequently would simply be ignored.

This way, the people who entered first would be in great danger.

One wrong move and they would lose their lives.

But there would be no threat for those who go later.

"Then… then who's going in first?"

Lu Wuchang exhaled and scanned everyone present with flickering eyes.

"Great General Zhao, no matter who enters first, it's not a solution, is it?" Pu Mingyue said with a smile.

That's right!

Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Fengxian.

Great General Zhao had only told everyone what was going on with the Dragon Slaying Platform.

The main problem was the loophole with the Dragon Slaying Platform!

Against the same sentient species, the Dragon Slaying Platform wouldn't attack endlessly.

It would only target the first few or a dozen people who entered first?

This was not a solution.

"Haha."

Zhao Fengxian smiled brightly. "Don't worry, Head Pu. I haven't come to the solution yet. Since we know the characteristics of the Dragon Slaying Platform, we just need to find a few animals of similar physique and drive them in. Wouldn't that do?"

"Animals?" asked Lu Wuchang, puzzled.

"Yes."

Zhao Fengxian explained, "Find a few large monkeys and get them to scout the way for us. When the Dragon Slaying Platform stops attacking the monkeys, we'll extract their blood to cover our bodies. Then, we can enter and pass through successfully."

So that's it!

That's right, those with similar physiques to humans were definitely monkeys.

There were also many monkeys in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

Capture a dozen of them to be the vanguard leading the way would perfectly dispel the threat.

This method was indeed very simple.

Of course, the prerequisite was knowing the loophole of the Dragon Slaying Platform.

Zhao Fengxian only knew because he had experienced it once.

If no one else had encountered it, how could they know?

If Zhao Fengxian had not come with them during this search for the legacy underground palace, after discovering Dragon Slaying Platform, they would either brace themselves, take a huge risk and charge in directly, enduring as long as they could.

Or they could retreat and return to the surface.

As for destroying the Dragon Slaying Platform, putting aside that that was impossible, even if it was possible, they couldn't do that.

This was because if the Dragon Slaying Platform was destroyed, there was a high chance that the underground palace would collapse along with it.

If the underground palace was gone, what kind of Martial Sage legacy would there be left?!

Therefore, even though Zhao Fengxian's words seemed like nothing, they had resolved a huge problem.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Jingxing, "Li Jing" was the only person present whom Zhao Fengxian was seeing for the first time, and that he knew everyone else, he wouldn't have shared this piece of information on the loophole.

If news that Dragon Slaying Platform had a limited number of attacks got out, it would only benefit others.

Firstly, there were very few Dragon Slaying Platforms. Secondly, since it concerned the legacy of the Martial Sage, Zhao Fengxian couldn't care less.

That was why he directly provided a solution.

Now that the solution was out, the rest was much simpler.

Gu Zhanlin obeyed and returned the way he came. He found the others who had stayed on the surface and were unable to enter the second level of the underground palace. He got a group of fourth-grade and fifth-grade martial artists to head to the woods around the valley to capture monkeys that had

similar physiques to the nine of them.

30 to 40 monkeys would be a good number.

In less than half an hour, they were done.

These captured monkeys were called Cannibal Monkeys.

'As the name suggested, they liked to eat humans and were tyrants in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

Even though the fights between groups were fierce, they were tall and strong.

Once a lone herb collector or injured martial artist was discovered by them, they would rarely be able to escape.

The people who captured them were also venting their anger. It was a good opportunity to get rid of evil for the people.

Dozens of monkeys were tied up with ropes. Gu Zhanlin released his true energy and wrapped them up. He floated them in the air and brought them back to the third level of the underground palace, at the entrance to the Dragon Slaying Platform.

Then, in batches, the monkeys were driven into the passageway of the Dragon Slaying Platform in batches.

Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!

The dark-skinned, ferocious-looking, and bloodthirsty Cannibal Monkeys were dismembered in less than three seconds after entering the passageway.

Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!

The second Cannibal Monkey was quickly dismembered.

Plkch! Plkch!

The third monkey.

The fourth.

The fifth.

One at a time. Soon, ten Cannibal Monkeys were dismembered in the passageway.

The remaining Cannibal Monkeys peed their pants.

It wasn't a metaphor, they really lost control.

None of them dared to bare their fangs and snarl with ferocious expressions anymore.

Instead, they curled up on the ground and tried to run out. However, they were tightly restrained by true energy and released both feces and urine.

Pu Mingyue, Bu Qing, and the others frowned in confusion.

"Impossible."

Zhao Fengxian said in a low voice, "The attack of the Dragon Slaying Platform cannot be endless. There must be a limit to it. Continue to release the Cannibal Monkeys!"

"If 10 isn't enough, then 20!"

"Got it," replied Gu Zhanlin. He wrapped his true energy around a Cannibal Monkey who was paralyzed with fear and threw it into the passageway.

Ahhhh!

Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!

The crescent blades danced in the air, and the Cannibal Monkey was dismembered.

Gu Zhanlin continued to grab another monkey and threw it into the passageway.

Plkch! Plkch!

Another one.

Another one.

'When the 18th monkey was dismembered,

and the 19th Cannibal Monkey was thrown into the corridor, the terrifying crescent blades suddenly stopped dancing and stopped shooting out.

"It worked!"

Zhao Fengxian looked at the Cannibal Monkey lying in a pool of blood in the corridor like mud and let out a breath.

Seeing this, the others also relaxed.

18 Cannibal Monkeys.

It actually attacked 18 times before stopping.

If they didn't send in these vanguards, all nine of them would be attacked when they entered.

"Finally done."

Lu Wuchang sighed. "Next, we'll extract monkey blood, right? I'll go first!"

With that, he rubbed his hands and walked towards a Cannibal Monkey.

No one would pity the Cannibal Monkey.

such monkeys were savage and bloodthirsty.. They loved to secretly eat children, and other animal cubs!

Chapter 222: The Legacy Is Fake?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Soon.

After collecting the monkey blood, the nine of them controlled it using their true energy to stick close and cover their entire bodies as they entered the passageway.

The entire process involved Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, and Bu Qing, and the others, wrapped in monkey blood as they walked through the passageway that was paved with jade and piled with dismembered monkey corpses.

After turning a corner, they encountered another turn.

Before long, they turned another corner.

'When the nine of them walked out of the passageway of the Dragon Slaying Platform, they had made ten turns.

Without these vanguards, even Zhao Fengxian could not guarantee that he would be able to successfully pass through using force.

The journey was too long.

Fortunately, they finally passed through it and found the entrance to the fourth level.

"Eh, what's going on with this level?"

Lu Wuchang, who had removed the monkey blood around him, stopped in his tracks. He looked at the fourth level where there were only a few thick stone pillars and no other structures and fell into deep thought.

The first three levels each had a central hall.

But not the fourth level.

The entire space was still spacious and quiet.

Except for the nine thick stone pillars that stood at intervals.

'There were no carvings on the stone pillars, nor were there any patterns on the ground or the dome.

The entire fourth level was empty and very strange.

"Marshal Lu, don't you have very accurate intuition? Take a look at what's going on here," said Gu Zhanlin, raising his eyebrows at Lu Wuchang.

"Tm not a god. I won't know everythin;

Lu Wuchang replied irritably, "Everyone knows how strange this place is. If you people don't know, how would I?"

Other than Su Jingxing's third-grade realm that was to be confirmed, the others were indeed true top-ranked experts.

'The Hundred Flower Valley had a long history, and Zhao Fengxian was a first-grade great general.

However, the two of them still couldn't see through this. They were filled with confusion about the fourth level.

"But…"

"But what? Do speak," urged Gu Zhanlin.

"What's the hurry?" Lu Wuchang rolled his eyes. "But there's no danger here."

"No danger? Are you sure?" Gu Zhanlin was suspicious.

"Why would I lie to you?" Lu Wuchang raised his eyebrows and walked ahead.

Under passive circumstances, Lu Wuchang knew best if there were any dangers within a hundred meters.

He was full of confidence in his abilities.

Indeed.

Lu Wuchang walked through covered most of the space of fourth level, but nothing happened.

Gu Zhanlin and Fan Qi looked at each other. After consulting Zhao Fengxian,they followed behind and walked over.

Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, Bu Qing, Huang Xinghai, Xia Zhilan, and the others were last.

A group of nine people walked through the silent fourth level.

Until they entered the fifth level.

Compared to the fourth level, the fifth level was even emptier.

The thick stone pillars were gone, there was only a center area where light appeared.

Silence, spacious, and empty.

'The group of nine kept their guard up as they approached the center area.

'When they were close—

[1000-year Great Return Remains discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

"Yes!"

'As he responded, Su Jingxing's eyes were filled with surprise.

1000 years!

The last time, Liu Chenglong's corpse was only a hundred years old.

This time, he actually encountered the a thousand year old one.

Could it be.

"There's someone there!"

Lu Wuchang, who was walking in front, suddenly exclaimed.

Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and the others moved very quickly. When they saw the target, their auras quickly spread and they got ready.

In this empty space, a person sitting cross-legged appeared.

No matter who it was, they were filled with uncertainty.

"Dead."

Zhao Fengxian stared at it and said in a low voice, "The other party is already dead, and he's in the state of returning to his original state."

Returning to the original state referred to the state where true essence leaves the body and covers the physical body. It was a state where a body would not be broken, dissolved, or dispersed for thousands of years.

Under this state, the physical body could be perfectly preserved, and the Corpse-raising Devil Insect wouldn't be able to sense it.

'When they came close to the light they saw earlier, they found that it was indeed emitted by this thousand-year-old corpse.

A thousand-year-old corpse had appeared on the fifth level.

No matter how one looked at it, there was something wrong!

"He… He can't be the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu, can he?"

Lu Wuchang stopped 20 meters away from the glowing old man sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was shocked.

'The reason why the old man was glowing was because his true essence was dissipating.

After a thousand years, his true essence had not dissipated completely. One could imagine how powerful the old man was when he was alive.

An expert among such experts could only be in the Transcendent-grade!

Yue Dongliu.

'The Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu.

'There was a 99% chance that this old man was the Crimson Moon Martial Sage from a thousand years ago, Yue Dongliu.

They couldn't be 100% sure because no one had seen Yue Dongliu's appearance before.

Yue Dongliu had kept a low profile when he was alive, and no images were passed down.

It had been a thousand years since then.

This place was also the legacy underground palace. Who else could the old man be other than Yue Dongliu?

As for the fact that even a Martial Sage would die.

'There was nothing surprising about this. Martial Sages could at most live for 360 years.

'When the time was up, no matter how indignant one was, one had to die.

Yet.

If the old man was really Yue Dongliu, then here's the question!

Firstly, why was Yue Dongliu's corpse here?

'Wasn't this the legacy underground palace? Why did Yue Dongliu leave his own corpse here?

He couldn't possibly be leaving it for the person who obtained the legacy to dig a hole and bury it, right?

'The corpse of a Martial Sage was extraordinary, but it was ultimately just a corpse.

If he really wanted to be buried, wouldn't it be better to find a place where no one knew about?

If he were to stay here and wait for someone to collect his corpse, wasn't he afraid that his corpse would be destroyed?

Secondly, the fifth level was too strange.

There were no stone pillars, no patterns, no strange paintings, nothing.

Gu Zhanlin, Fan Qi, Lu Wuchang, and Bu Qing spread out and surveyed the entire space, but still found nothing.

Not even the entrance to the sixth level.

This meant that they had reached the end of the underground palace!

There were only five levels.

The nine of them were currently at the bottommost level, the fifth level.

However, apart from Yue Dongliu's corpse, there was nothing else here.

Treasures?

Not a hair was seen.

Not to mention, the Crimson Moon legacy!

"Fake?"

Back in the central area, Lu Wuchang murmured, "There's no legacy here at all. The so-called treasure left behind by a Martial Sage is just an empty palace."

"That shouldn't be the case," Pu Mingyue muttered. "There's nothing wrong with the legacy stone tablets, and there's nothing wrong with the information passed down. It can't be fake."

"Don't tell me the legacy of the Martial Sage refers to the secrets in the three legacy stone tablets?" Gu Zhanlin asked in a low voice.

"That's possible!" said Huang Xinghai, rubbing his chin in thought.

"Three legacy stone tablets?" Xia Zhilan pondered.

Su Jingxing said nothing.

Within his perception range, there was something strange in the fifth level.

It was an indescribable strangeness.

It didn't seem like a deliberate misdirection where it was the oddity of a fake.

Instead, it revealed a trace of strange, burning, and dangerous strangeness!

"Tthink…"

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, Lu Wuchang, who was about to say something, shouted.

Swish!

Ared light flashed past.

Something unexpected happened!

Chapter 223: Ghost Ride

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ared vine pierced through the air, heading straight towards Zhao Fengxian.

It was extremely fast and the angle was extremely tricky.

Although Zhao Fengxian, who was caught off guard, was alarmed and moved immediately, his left arm was still penetrated.

Pu!

Fresh blood spurted out.

The corporeal red vine took root on his left arm and quickly sprouted. Red-brown spots spread up and down his arm.

Roar!

The furious Zhao Fengxian let out a low roar as the hammer in his hand smashed down fiercely, breaking the red vine.

Then, his entire left arm bloomed with golden light, covering everything from his fingertips to his shoulders.

Boom!

Zhao Fengxian released his aura to the maximum. A terrifying might detonated the air, producing a visible shockwave that swept through the fifth level.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Everywhere it passed, dull explosions resounded.

Half of them were released when Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, Bu Qing, and the others blocked the shockwave.

Half of it when a silvery-white energy barrier centered around Yue Dongliu's body with a radius of ten meters suddenly appeared and blocked the shockwave. The two collided and produced a series of loud bangs.

At the same time, a huge round moon emerged from the top of Yue Dongliu's head and floated in midair, illuminating most of the underground space as if it was daytime.

Zhao Fengxian, who was brandishing his Martial Art True Intent hammer, and Xia Zhilan, who was controlling her red vines to block and retreat, were clearly exposed under the silver moonlight.

As the crowd watched in shock, disbelief covered their faces.

Xia Zhilan!

The person who had ambushed Zhao Fengxian, striking his heart with the Martial Art True Intent of the red vines and only hitting his left arm because he dodged in time was actually Xia Zhilan!

Didn't the Crimson Moon Martial Sage not leave behind any legacy?

There were no treasures either.

'Why was Xia Zhilan ambushing Zhao Fengxian now?

"Is there a grudge between them?" murmured Lu Wuchang.

As he spoke, he subconsciously moved away from Pu Mingyue.

Previously, Pu Mingyue and Xia Zhilan seemed like they were as close as sisters.

Who knew if Pu Mingyue would suddenly go crazy after Xia Zhilan's surprise attack.

Pu Mingyue naturally knew this. With a cold expression, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have nothing to do with her!"

"That's for the best."

Gu Zhanlin shouted coldly, "Old Fan, keep an eye on her. I'll go help the General."

With that, Gu Zhanlin charged towards Zhao Fengxian and Xia Zhilan at lightning speed.

Even though Zhao Fengxian, who had lost the use of an arm, still had Xia Zhilan retreating, he couldn't kill her immediately.

This was Xia Zhilan's red vines were poisonous!

At this moment, the poison was constantly corroding his left arm and leaving his shoulder to rush towards his neck.

Half of Zhao Fengxian's energy was channeled into circulating his true essence. He focused his attention and gathered his soul power to resist the poison.

That's right, the red vine poison also had the ability to corrode the soul.

No one knew this trait before.

Zhao Fengxian had known Xia Zhilan for more than ten years, and he had never thought that she would attack him.

Because of this, Zhao Fengxian was filled with rage.

The Martial Art True Intent hammer swung harder and harder each time.

However, he couldn't use his full strength. Coupled with Xia Zhilan's agile and elegant movement technique, she dodged again and again.

Gu Zhanlin chased over and blocked Xia Zhilan's escape route.

Roar!

The gray leopard grew bigger. With a roar, it released its pressure and enveloped Xia Zhilan, pinning her to the ground.

"Die!"

Zhao Fengxian growled and leaped up. The Martial Art True Intent hammer in his hand smashed towards Xia Zhilan's head.

Buzz!

The air trembled.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

'The sound of rushing wind suddenly sounded.

Swish!

A mental arrow pierced through the air and attacked Zhao Fengxian, who was smashing down with his hammer.

The cold killing intent carried an eerie chill. Just by approaching, one could not help but shiver.

Even someone as powerful as Zhao Fengxian was forced to change the target of the hammer in his hand.

With a turn, his hammer moved upward. It left Xia Zhilan's head and ruthlessly smashed the mental arrow that had come close.

Bam!

Amidst the thunderous explosion, a ball of white light bloomed in the air.

An invisible but substantial mental shockwave pushed Zhao Fengxian backward.

Gu Zhanlin, who had pinned Xia Zhilan down, had no choice but to ride his gray leopard and dodge quickly.

Swish! Swish!

The sound of rushing wind approached.

More than ten black-robed figures arrived beside Xia Zhilan and gathered together. They escorted a tall and thin man towards the center.

"Hahaha, we have troubled all of you to scout the way for us. Now that the mission is completed, you can go home. We will personally visit and thank you for this great favor in a while."

As the lanky man spoke, he approached Yue Dongliu's body.

"Stop right there!"

Riding on the gray leopard, Gu Zhanlin blocked the way and shouted, "Who are you people!"

Zhao Fengxian said nothing. He only stared at the thin man with a solemn expression.

Among this group of people, only the tall and thin man gave him a faint sense of threat.

First-grade!

The tall and thin man was a first-grade martial artist.

'There were more than ten people following behind him. Even though their auras were different, their suppression was not weak. All of them were experts in the top ranks.

They were either in the second-grade or third-grade.

With a first-grade martial artist as the leader, and a dozen others in the top ranks. How could ordinary factions possess such strength!

"Ghost Ride?"

Fan Qi's gaze flickered as he stared at a tall figure beside Xia Zhilan. He shouted in a low voice, "General, they're from Ghost Ride!"

"Ghost Ride? Lass Xia joined the Ghost Ride organization?" Huang Xinghai's face darkened.

Pu Mingyue's expression was also ugly. "I didn't expect you to join Ghost Ride, Lanlan."

Xia Zhilan was expressionless as she ignored Huang Xinghai and Pu Mingyue's comments.

Bu Qing gripped his spear tightly and stared fixedly at a short and fat figure.

"I knew the Ghost Ride wouldn't be willing to wait."

Lu Wuchang cursed softly.

He moved his feet and approached Pu Mingyue and Huang Xinghai.

The moment Ghost Ride's members arrived, the nine of them… No, the eight of them had subconsciously gathered together to confront the dozen or so people on Ghost Ride's side.

'When competing for the Martial Sage's legacy, they were rivals.

However, when facing a powerful enemy, they instinctively teamed up.

Su Jingxing's heart tensed up immediately and he stood ready.

Ghost Ride had mobilized a dozen people in the top ranks, and they were led by a first-grade martial artist.

Their motives were clearly not simple.

Xia Zhilan's sneak attack on Zhao Fengxian was clearly to reduce their risk.

"The legacy is fake. What are you doing here?"

Zhao Fengxian warned in a low voice.

"Fake? Of course it's fake!"

The tall and thin man laughed heartily. "Because Yue Dongliu did not leave behind any legacy at all! The so-called legacy stone tablets are only three keys, the key to opening the underground palace!

"You all have helped us greatly by successfully opening and entering this place.

"To express my gratitude, I sincerely urge my friends to leave quickly and hide as far away as possible."

"If you don't leave now, stay. Stay here forever!"

"What are you doing?" growled Zhao Fengxian.

No one was a fool. Given the lanky man's words, there was clearly a problem, a big problem.

Leave?

"Could it be…"

Zhao Fengxian's heart sank.

"Do you know what's going on here?" Huang Xinghai asked on his behalf.

"Of course."

The tall and thin man chuckled. "What Yue Dongliu left behind back then wasn't an legacy or any powerful treasure!"

"What is it then?" Gu Zhanlin growled.

"You don't need to know what it is." The lanky man's hawk-like gaze swept across Su Jingxing, Bu Qing, and the rest. He smiled and said, "I've said all that I need to say. Now, it's time for you to make a decision. Are you going to leave or not?"

"Tm leaving!"

A glint flashed across Huang Xinghai's eyes. His figure moved, rushing towards the entrance they had come from.

"What you want to do has nothing to do with me!"

"Excellent."

The tall and thin man clapped lightly and scanned the remaining people. "What about you guys?"

Pu Mingyue did not move.

Bu Qing didn't move either.

Nor did Lu Wuchang.

Gu Zhanlin and Fan Qi followed Zhao Fengxian's lead.

Since Zhao Fengxian hadn't moved, they naturally wouldn't leave.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing remained where he was and kept silent.

This was clearly not a legacy ground, yet Ghost Ride had come. Furthermore, a dozen of their members came in one go. Clearly, they had ulterior motives.

Su Jingxing wanted to see what they were up to.

Huang Xinghai was afraid of death, so it was expected that he would leave early.

None of the remaining seven people left, giving Su Jingxing confidence.

With seven people joining forces, even if Zhao Fengxian was injured and could only use half of his strength, it would be enough to make the tall, thin man wary.

After all, so far, no one had used any trump cards.

Zhao Fengxian hated Xia Zhilan and wanted to use his, but using his killer move when he was poisoned would affect him and might cause too much trouble in the future.

Similarly, the lanky man and company did not come to the underground palace to fight.

They had their own clear goals.

"None of you are leaving huh?"

In the silence, the tall and thin man broke the silence. His hawk-like gaze was cold.

The comers of his lips remained curled up as he said with a smile, "Since you're not leaving, then stay. If you regret it later and can't leave, don't complain that I didn't war everyone."

With that, he waved his hand and ordered, "Tiger, Old Ma, Buffalo… The few of you, stay here and keep our friends company. The rest of you, get to work!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As soon as the lanky man finished his sentence, the dozen or so people behind and beside him quickly split into two groups. One group moved towards Su Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, and the others, while the other pounced towards Yue Dongliu's body.

Hu~

Swish!

Clang!

Saber energy, sword energy, long whips, staff shadows, giant axes, tiger claws.

'The true energy transformed from true essence carried all kinds of attacks and landed on the energy barrier that surrounded Yue Dongliu's body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

Thunderous explosions echoed non-stop.

All sorts of lethal moves, accompanied with Martial Art True Intents, collided madly with the energy barrier.

A chaotic force burst forth and shot everywhere.

'The materialized shockwaves swept through the underground space again and again.

Everywhere they passed, the ground cracked, dust flew, and rocks were thrown into the air.

The tall and thin man in the lead manifested his Martial Art True Intent, a saber with a long handle and slashed at the floating full moon.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Whoosh!

Energy surged and light shot out.

With every slash by tall and thin man, the full moon, the Martial Art True Intent that had separated from Yue Dongliu when he was alive would tremble a little, and the dazzling barrier would dim a little.

Thump!

Whoosh!

Thump!

Whoosh!

"What are they doing? Do they want Yue Dongliu's corpse?" Gu Zhanlin frowned and muttered.

"What treasures are on Yue Dongliu's corpse?" echoed Fan Qi.

"If there is a treasure, given the frequency of their attacks, the treasure will also be damaged as they break the energy barrier," said Bu Qing in a low voice.

"No," said Lu Wuchang blankly.

"What's wrong?" Pu Mingyue was puzzled.

"Lu Wuchang, what did your intuition sense?" Zhao Fengxian turned his head and frowned at Lu Wuchang.

"There is indeed something wrong." Su Jingxing frowned slightly.

Su Jingxing didn't know what Lu Wuchang sensed.

However, due to his powerful soul power, Su Jingxing's intuition was also extraordinary.

A martial artist's sixth sense was more outstanding than ordinary people.

Such intuition was even more effective on Su Jingxing.

Especially at this moment, as the Ghost Ride members were frantically attacking Yue Dongliu's energy barrier and Martial Art True Intent, an ominous feeling suddenly struck his heart.

"Danger!"

Lu Wuchang suddenly shouted, "Make them stop! We can't break the energy barrier!"

Swoosh!

Bang!

The seven Ghost Ride members who were blocking in front of Su Jingxing and the others suddenly made their moves and pounced over.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom! Boom!

Seven against seven, the two groups of people were engaged on the spot.

'True energy formed from true essence danced and wreaked havoc, slicing through the ground and leaving behind traces.

The stirred air became chaotic, and the air waves that lifted condensed into a shockwave that swept through the underground space.

"You can't break the energy barrier!"

Lu Wuchang waved his fan and shouted anxiously, "Once the energy barrier is broken, there will be great danger! Great danger that were bring crises to Qinghe and the Changyang Prefecture!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In his haste, he used all his strength and only took three moves to defeat the third-grade expert from Ghost Ride who had intercepted him.

Then, with a flash, he pounced at the tall, thin man.

Bang!

Zhao Fengxian also sent a second-grade expert from Ghost Ride flying with a single hammer strike. Then, with a pale face, he rushed towards the tall and thin man.

Boom!

Su Jingxing mobilized 500 years of his true energy cultivation and executed the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, stacking more than 20 times of its power to meet the massive palm imprint of a third-grade expert of Ghost Ride head-on.

In the end, with an explosion, the third-grade expert's palm imprint shattered and dissipated on the spot. Then, his entire arm burst into a bloody mist. With cracking sounds, his bones broke, and he couldn't help but retreat.

In one breath, he retreated more than ten meters before spitting out a mouthful of blood. He fell back and forcefully pulled himself forward. He squatted on the ground, his face pale.

Swish!

After defeating his opponent, Su Jingxing's figure flashed and charged at the thin man like Lu Wuchang and Zhao Fengxian.

Swoosh!

Ared vine pierced through the air and attacked Su Jingxing from the side.

Acold and sinister aura locked onto Su Jingxing like a venomous snake revealing its cold fangs.

"Get lost!"

Su Jingxing shouted angrily. He mobilized 600 years of true energy cultivation and threw a punch.

Roar!

Asilvery-black fist imprint with a scorching aura condensed at lightning speed and collided with the red vine.

With a strange sound, the red vine trembled before dissipating into nothingness.

However, the silvery-black fist imprint did not disappear. It continued to carry a terrifying fist aura as it swept towards Xia Zhilan, who could not dodge in time.

Bam!

Energy surged.

Ripples appeared on the surface of Xia Zhilan's true essence. She, who had forcefully received this punch, swiftly retreated.

'When she stopped, her calves trembled slightly and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth!

"Damn it!"

Xia Zhilan growled.

She raised her head tenaciously and her gaze as she looked at Su Jingxing was filled with shock and anger.

"This fellow…

"Who exactly is he!"

She basically knew all the top-ranked experts in the Changyang Prefecture.

When did such a powerful third-grade appear?

LiJing?

Never heard of him before.

This was most likely a fake name!

Why was such a evasive fellow so terrifying?

Looking at his strength, within the third-grade, there were probably not many people who could match his punch.

"Damn it!"

Xia Zhilan cursed inwardly.

She moved his feet, but instead of going for Su Jingxing, she pounced at Bu Qing.

Bu Qing was already injured. It was already good enough if he could hold back a Ghost Ride member in the same realm.

When Xia Zhilan pounced at him, he was immediately at a disadvantage. Her red vine pierced through his shoulder.

Fortunately, Pu Mingyue came to his rescue in time and stopped Xia Zhilan.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Energy danced and wreaked havoc in the air.

u Mingyue questioned coldly as she attacked.

"Why?!"

Why did you join Ghost Ride?!

Xia Zhilan was expressionless and did not respond.

This attitude made Pu Mingyue even more annoyed and even more ruthless in her attacks.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Shockwaves spread out, and as true energy collided, the two of them were locked in combat. Soon, Xia Zhilan was no match for them and was forced to retreat.

In the end, she spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing to the ground and was left immobile.

"T'll come to you later!"

With these words, Pu Mingyue flew towards the area where Yue Dongliu's corpse was, to stop the Ghost Ride members from destroying the energy barrier.

Boom!

The air exploded.

A giant palm imprint appeared in the air, heading for the back of the lanky man.

Bang!

The tall and thin man did not even raise his head. He only swung his saber behind him and shattered the palm imprint.

Then, he slashed at Su Jingxing from a distance.

The terrifying power of interfering with reality through the mind was almost tangible.

Swoosh!

A stretch of blinding blade light drowned Su Jingxing.

Pu!

"Su Jingxing" exploded into a ball of chaotic aura and dissipated.

A true energy manifestation!

The true energy clone that had been condensed in time died in Su Jingxing's place.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ina flash, Su Jingxing continued to unleash palm strikes from a distance. Mobilizing 500 years of cultivation, he executed the Air Splitting Palm without stopping and attacked the lanky man from all directions.

Together with Zhao Fengxian and Lu Wuchang's moves, the lanky man was caught off guard and was in a sorry state.

But soon, he adjusted himself.

Swoosh!

Under the blinding blade light.

Lu Wuchang was struck squarely, and the Martial Art True Intent folded fan in his hand shattered. He flew backward and crashed to the ground, spitting out blood.

"Yo… You can't break through the energy… barrier!"

Lu Wuchang, who was sprawled on the ground, shouted hoarsely.

Hmph!

The tall and thin man snorted coldly from a distance and launched another slash at Lu Wuchang.

The seemingly corporeal blade energy flew across the ground with a swish, leaving deep gouges in the ground.

Lu Wuchang rolled to dodge the blade energy.

"You can't break through the energy barrier!"

He shouted at the top of his voice.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Su Jingxing increased the frequency of his attacks. Giant palm imprints covered the tall, thin man from afar.

As he moved, he condensed his true energy manifestations to disrupt the lanky man's thoughts and push him to make wrong judgments.

A first-grade expert had dense true essence, solidified Martial Art True Intent, and surging soul power.

All kinds of miraculous secret abilities and unique skills were released from time to time.

As a "third-grade" martial artist, Su Jingxing did not dare to get too close.

Disrupting him from a distance to tire him out was equally useful.

At the very least, under Su Jingxing's harassment, the lanky man was stopped by Zhao Fengxian and could no longer divert his attention to attack the full moon in the air.

But!

Among the experts of Ghost Ride who were attacking the energy barrier, one of them was a second-grade expert. The other party had blocked Pu Mingyue's attack.

Gu Zhanlin and Fan Qi were being held back by another opponent.

Cracks began to appear on the energy barrier, and strange cracking sounds echoed in the underground space.

"No, it can't be broken, it can't be broken!"

When Lu Wuchang saw this, his body trembled and fear filled his eyes.

"It cannot be broken! Stop them!"

Boom!

What answered him was a deafening bang.

The lanky man was finally enraged and unleashed his ultimate move.

With his long-handled saber and Martial Art True Intent in hand, he suddenly manifested more than ten figures. Each figure held a long saber in their hands and slashed ferociously like lightning.

The hundreds of streaks of saber intents abruptly exploded with the blinding light.

Like an intercontinental missile landing on the ground, the light and heat they emitted forced Su Jingxing back and Zhao Fengxian back.

Black-red blood seeped out from the corner of the latter's mouth, and his pale face lost even more color.

"Roar!"

The tall and thin man roared. The dozen or so figures that he manifested did not dissipate. Instead, they turned around and continued to bombard the floating full moon.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The full moon flickered, and its light grew dimmer and dimmer.

Crack! Crack!

On the ground, more and more cracks appeared on the energy barrier around Yue Dongliu's corpse.

Su Jingxing landed from the air and steadied himself, preparing to circulate 800 years of true energy cultivation to stop him again.

Bang!

The energy barrier on the ground exploded.

Boom!

At the same time, the Martial Art True Intent of the full moon in midair shattered as well, turning into countless specks of light that scattered to the ground.

The motionless Yue Dongliu's corpse slowly turned to dust and floated in the air.

"It's… it's over!"

Lu Wuchang's eyes widened as he stared blankly at Yue Dongliu's corpse.

Huff, huff…

Zhao Fengxian panted. Lying on the ground, his hair unconsciously stood on end.

Danger!

Extreme danger was emerging!

At this moment, even without Lu Wuchang's reminder, Zhao Fengxian sensed a terrifying threat approaching quickly.

As Yue Dongliu's corpse dissipated, the entire underground space fell into silence. Nothing happened.

However, the calm before the storm was even more frightening.

Su Jingxing's heart was racing, and his eyelids were twitching non-stop.

A crisis had arrived!

Now that Yue Dongliu's corpse had dissipated, the terrifying crisis had arrived!

"Hahaha…"

In the silent and oppressive atmosphere, the lanky man burst into laughter.

"Everyone! Are you ready?

"The treasures we've been waiting for are finally coming out!

"Hahaha!"

Crack!

Accompanied with his laughter, the ground cracked.

First, the first crack appeared in the area where Yue Dongliu's corpse was sitting. It quickly expanded and spread in all directions.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

With a series of crisp sounds, the ground cracked everywhere.

Then, in the growing cracks, it began to collapse!

Boom! Boom!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The sound of rapid wind echoed.

Su Jingxing lifted Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue carried Lu Wuchang, while Gu Zhanlin and Fan Qi supported Zhao Fengxian.

The group of seven quickly left and flew towards the entrance.

Before they reached the entrance, a violent, ancient, and tyrannical beast roar came from collapsing underground.

Roar!.

Chapter 226 The Truth!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The roar that pierced through metal and cracked stone was vast and mighty, materializing in the underground space.

It was a sound wave that was visible to the naked eye. It surged up from the ground and spread in all directions, sweeping to every corner of the underground space.

Everywhere it passed, the air clearly poured to the sides, revealing a large expanse of empty space.

It swept all the way to the dome, to the four walls, to one's heart and soul!

This terrifying beast roar actually had mental destructive power.

Su Jingxing didn't know about the others but he felt a sharp pain in his brain. Even though it quickly disappeared under the buffer of his powerful soul power, this sound wave attack still made his heart palpitate.

He looked at Bu Qing, Gu Zhanlin, Fan Qi, Lu Wuchang, and the others and realized that they were indeed pale-faced and sweating.

Working up a burst of energy, he led them to charge to the entrance of the fourth level and landed on the steps.

Then, as he panted, recuperated, and stabilized his aura, he looked at the collapsed fifth level through the air and at the lumps of ice crystals that had appeared deep underground.

In the top ranks, even if one did not have the abilities of Distant Vision and Night Vision, one could "see" the world with his Martial Art True Intent and the wonderful effects of his true essence.

Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, Gu Zhanlin, and the others all had their own methods to stimulate their eyes and see through the darkness to see what the ice crystals deep underground were.

Mutated Beasts!

The ice crystals were just big block of ices.

The blood-colored Mutated Beasts inside them were the key.

They were a type of hideous Mutated Beast that was more than five meters long, had a triangular head, a mouth full of tusks, black horns on its head, a tail like an ox's, and a body like a deer.

Very similar to the legendary Qilin!

However, they did not have the scales that covered the entire body like a Qilin. There were only layers of dark red blood membranes. Each of their four limbs had five claws, and these sharp claws were as sharp as

chicken claws. They were full of bounce.

In every block of ice was a blood-colored Mutated Beast.

Deep underground, lumps of ice were densely packed. There were more than a thousand of them.

In other words, there were more than a thousand of such Mutated Beasts that could release terrifying sound waves.

At this moment, the blood-colored Mutated Beasts broke out from the ice one after another. They roared, snarled, or leaped into the air as they pounced at the tall and thin man and company floating in the air.

"Hahaha…"

The tall and thin man's excited laughter continued. It was especially ear-piercing in the terrifying sound waves.

"Come on, babies. Come out, all my babies!"

Amidst his laughter, a blood-colored seal that was more than ten centimeters long appeared in his hand. He held it in his palm and infused his true energy into it, emitting a faint halo.

"The Bloodseeker Seal! Bloodseeker Beasts, they're Bloodseeker Beasts!"

On the steps leading to the entrance, Pu Mingyue stared at the blood-colored Mutated Beasts underground that were roaring and breaking free from the ice and the blood-colored seal in the lanky man's hand. She was

pale as a sheet.

"What are Bloodseeker Beasts? Why are there so many of them?"

anting, Lu Wuchang asked anxiously, "Why do these things give me an extreme sense of danger? They feel even more terrifying than a national calamity!"

Su Jingxing was about to ask the same.

Lu Wuchang beat him to it so he swallowed his words.

He only said in a low voice, "This is not a legacy ground, but a seal location!"

"Yes, we were all fooled."

u Mingyue took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth. "This is the place where the Bloodseeker Beasts are sealed. Back then, the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu used his own body to suppress these

beasts!"

"As for the Bloodseeker Beasts, Lu Wuchang, you must have heard of the existence of the Ancient Demons.

"Ancient Demons?"

Lu Wuchang exclaimed, "Are you talking about some of the ancient monsters that existed on Earth Star in ancient times, thpse terrifying lifeforms from other worlds?"

"Yes, it's them!"

Pu Mingyue said in a deep voice, "Bloodseeker Beasts are the Bloodseekers of the Ancient Demons. They are terrifying Mutated Beasts formed from their own blood essence. They are very difficult to kill. Even if they

die, they can transform back into Bloodseeker Essence Energy to be absorbed by their own kind to become even stronger.

"What's even more terrifying is that all Bloodseeker Beasts can become stronger by absorbing blood energy. As long as they absorb the blood of sentient living beings, they will become stronger.

"The blood of humans is most suitable. Not only do humans have sentience, there are also enough of us.

"As long as the population of a functional town is massacred by the Bloodseeker Beasts, the blood energy absorbed will be enough for any Bloodseeker Beast to reach the King level and become a Beast King!"

What was the population of a functional town?

7,000 to 8,000 for a big population, or 2,000 for a small one.

Let's take the average, 5,000!

If more than 5,000 people died, they would become Beast Kings.

If they were to barge into the city and massacre people everywhere, how many people would die?

If the Bloodseeker Beasts then absorbed the diffused blood energy, what level would they reach?!

And how many Bloodseeker Beasts were there underground?

There were more than a thousand of them!

Once these Blood Demons charged into Qinghe City, even if only half of them successfully advance to the Beast King level, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Pu Mingyue's words stunned the seven people, including Zhao Fengxian.

Everyone felt their scalps go numb, their backs turn cold, and chills ran down their spines.

"Ghost Ride knew that the Bloodseeker Beasts are sealed here. Therefore, they tried all means to get us to gather the legacy stone tablets, open the legacy underground palace, and enter this place. Then, they would

break the final measure left behind by the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu, destroy his physical body and break the seal!

"The blood-colored seal in their hands is called the Bloodseeker Seal. It's rumored to have the ability to control the Bloodseeker Beasts.

"The people of Ghost Ride don't want to release these Bloodseeker Beasts. Instead, they want to control them for their use!"

Pu Mingyue added softly.

The group of seven fell silent.

Su Jingxing was also silent.

Understood.

Now he understood everything.

Ever since the first photo of the legacy stone tablet was exposed, Ghost Ride had been plotting this scene.

Stirring up trouble everywhere, provoking all the factions in Qinghe City to rush around for the stone tablets, then charging into the Martial Suppression Office and the Prefecture Army, forcing the two official factions

to work together to open the legacy… no, the seal location, and explore the underground palace for them until they arrived at the fifth level.

At the very end, they wanted to control the Bloodseekers Beast that broke out of the seal to attack Qinghe City!

If the Bloodseeker Beasts wanted to become stronger, they had to absorb enough blood energy.

As for the deaths of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands people,

Ghost Ride wouldn't mind!

This wasn't their first time doing such a thing.

In ancient times, for the sake of the benefits obtained, Ghost Ride never minded massacring cities.

Although the population of an ancient city was limited, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands,

to this day, killing hundreds of thousands or even millions of people had no psychological burden on them.

When they turn all the Bloodseeker Beasts into Beast Kings, even if a Martial Sage were to come, they would dare to go against him!

"No, we have to stop them!"

Gu Zhanlin came back to his senses and shouted anxiously, "We can't let them control the Blood…"

Buzz!

The empty air suddenly surged.

Ripples that were visible to the naked eye suddenly swept out upwards, downwards, left and right with the tall and thin man as the center..

The dim underground space suddenly became brighter.

The source of the light, the Bloodseeker Seal in the lanky man's hand automatically floated into the air for some reason.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Under the guidance of the strange energy, the Bloodseeker Seal spun continuously.

At first glance, it looked like a giant light bulb. As it spun, it shot out beams of bright light that pierced through the darkness.

But!

These strong beams of light lasted for less than five seconds before they began to flicker and then extinguish.

Then—

Bam!

There was a loud bang.

The floating Bloodseeker Seal exploded with a loud bang, turning into a ball of white light that filled the underground space.

These white lights seemed to be corporeal and spread to become terrifying rays of light.

Everywhere they passed, protective true essence and Martial Art True Intents were instantly penetrated.

For this, the tall and thin man closest to it was the first to bear the brunt. The light penetrated his body, and his entire body was like a sieve, spurting out blood and falling to the ground like a porcupine.

The other Ghost Ride members were also, to varying extents, pierced by the light, lost control, and collapsed.

Su Jingxing and company, who were standing on the steps of the entrance, managed to escape the calamity by retreating into the passageway in time.

After the light disappeared, they returned to the steps to check on the situation.

They found that everyone from Ghost Ride had fallen into the ground and were fighting fiercely with the Bloodseeker Beasts that had escaped.

As for the Bloodseeker Seal, it had already disappeared.

"What… what's going on?" asked Gu Zhanlin, stunned.

"The Bloodseeker Seal is fake?" asked Lu Wuchang, his eyes shining as he looked at Pu Mingyue.

Pu Mingyue was stunned. "I… I don't know."

"To be honest, I can't confirm if the rumors about the Bloodseeker Seal are true. I've only read about it in the ancient books of the sect. As for the exact details, don't know what flaws and drawbacks this seal has."

The few of them fell silent.

The sudden explosion of the Bloodseeker Seal was unexpected for everyone.

They had thought that the Ghost Ride was about to succeed, and would be able to control a terrifying power that even a Martial Sage would fear.

n the end, it ended as soon as it started.

This turn of events was both shocking and delightful.

Delightful because despite the fact hat Ghost Ride had exhausted all its schemes, in the end, they achieved nothing, and had even gotten themselves implicated.

The explosion of the Bloodseeker Seal could have been due to this rare treasure being damaged after thousands of years.

tt could also be that the tall and thin man had mismanaged the activation sequence.

tt was more likely that the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, Yue Dongliu, had deliberately left behind a backup plan!

When he was alive, the Great Martial Sage Yue had guessed that someone would break his seal and release the Bloodseeker Beasts for their own use. Therefore, he had tampered with the Bloodseeker Seal. Once true

energy was injected to activate it, it would explode!

The final possibility was quite likely.

Of course,

following the self-destruction of the Bloodseeker Seal, these possibilities were no longer important.

Ghost Ride's plan failed. Everyone fell into the ground and were fighting it out with the Bloodseeker Beasts.

It was still unknown whether they could kill their way out and escape.

To Su Jingxing, Pu Mingyue, and the others, this outcome was exactly what they wanted.

"Man proposes, God disposes."

Gu Zhanlin took a deep breath and shouted, "Let's go. We have to leave this place first and intercept the Bloodseeker Beasts outside. We can't let these ferocious creatures out of the underground palace!"

"Let's go!"

Zhao Fengxian growled and motioned for Fan Qi to carry him away.

Ghost Ride's plan had failed, but the threat of the Bloodseeker Beasts remained.

Once these ancient ferocious creatures escaped the underground palace, they could similarly cause countless casualties.

Immediately, the seven of them turned around and hurried back through the passageway.

When they returned to the fourth level, they were surprised to find that the dome of the originally empty space of the fourth level had lit up with light. Drawings had appeared on it.

They were about how to stop the Bloodseeker Beasts and trap them in the underground palace!

"It's Yue Dongliu! Martial Sage Yue left behind a backup plan!"

Pu Mingyue shouted happily as she dashed over and looked up at the dome.

Yue Dongliu was too suave.

Because of the Bloodseeker Beasts, he had considered everything.

His noble character had it that people would sincerely address him as "Martial Sage".

"I see. So there is such a operation method for the Dragon Slaying Platform."

Zhao Fengxian looked at the dome and murmured.

"Martial Sage Yue is worthy of admiration. Unfortunately, we can only trap the Bloodseeker Beasts in the underground palace for two hours!"

Gu Zhanlin looked up at the dome and shouted indignantly.

"Where are we going to find so many experts to stop the Bloodseeker Beasts in two hours?"

Lu Wuchang gritted his teeth.

The reason why the drawings on the fourth level's dome had appeared was mostly because because they were activated after the seal was broken.

Yue Dongliu had made all kinds of preparations.

When they entered, there were three checkpoints stopping them.

When they left, with the guide of the drawings, they could temporarily close the Dragon Slaying Platform on the third level and reopen it to intercept the Bloodseeker Beasts.

This huge underground palace could even turn into a cage and trap the beasts for two hours!

The roar of the Bloodseeker Beasts penetrated straight into one soul. If one was not in the fourth-grade and had true fluid to nourish the soul, it would be impossible to resist.

Therefore, to intercept the Bloodseeker Beasts, one had to be at least in the fourth-grade!

In two hours, where could they find hundreds of fourth-grade martial artists?

There were perhaps a total of 300 fourth-grade martial artists in the entire Changyang Prefecture.

The problem was that the cities these people were in were too far away.

Only those in the nearest Qinghe City and Treasure Elephant City could arrive in time.

But how could there be so many fourth-grade martial artists in Qinghe City and Treasure Elephant City?

"Wait!"

Su Jingxing suddenly realized that there were more than a hundred experts in the fourth-grade and above nearby.

"Sigh…"

Gu Zhanlin sighed. As he rushed on, he sighed. "If only we could reconstruct the Flying Lion Ring. Back then, the Flying Lion army of the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong, had 108 experts who were minimally

the fourth-grade. Their seal location isn't that far away from here."

"If we can awaken them, we'll have more than a hundred helpers to stop the Bloodseeker Beasts.

"Unfortunately, I only have half of the Flying Lion Ring. I don't even know where the other half is…"

"I have it," interrupted Su Jingxing in a low voice.

Chi!

Gu Zhanlin stopped abruptly. The inertia caused his feet to rub against the ground, producing sparks and leaving a clear mark.

Su Jingxing, who was already prepared, stopped steadily.

Pu Mingyue, Zhao Fengxian, Lu Wuchang, Fan Qi, and Bu Qing also followed. They put some distance between them and stood on the ground, looking at Su Jingxing in shock.

Gu Zhanlin's lips trembled as he asked, "What… what did you just say?"

"I have the other half of the Flying Lion Ring."

Su Jingxing replied calmly.

Gulp!

Gu Zhanlin swallowed his saliva and suppressed his excitement. His voice trembled with excitement. "In… in other words, we can immediately reconstruct the Flying Lion Ring and go to the seal location to awaken the

Flying Lion army?"

"Yes!"

Chapter 228 Has The Yu Nation Already Fallen? (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were some things that Su Jingxing could ignore.

Yet some things couldn't be ignored.

The Bloodseeker Beasts was one of them.

If their interception failed, such a terrifying Mutated Beast would rush out of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

The destruction of Qinghe City and Treasure Elephant City would only be the beginning.

The Changyang Prefecture and the entire Yu Nation would fall.

The final number of casualties would definitely in the hundreds of millions.

Putting aside the fact that Su Jingxing had sworn an oath with his heart and soul to protect the Yu Nation for ten years, even if he hadn't taken the oath, he didn't want to

see such a tragic scene.

Therefore, Su Jingxing was willing to offer up his half of the Flying Lion Ring.

To reassemble a complete the Flying Lion Ring and awaken the Flying Lion army!

"Good, good!"

Gu Zhanlin took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Let's go to the seal location of the Flying Lion army and wake them up! With the addition of 108 Flying Lions, we should

be able to temporarily stop the Bloodseeker Beasts from charging out of Green Cloud Mountain."

"Not enough."

Zhao Fengxian's face was pale. "Stopping them is not enough. We can't kill the Bloodseeker Beasts. We can only seal them. We have to think of a way to seal them again!"

"The Hundred Flower Valley has an array formation, the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array. It's a trapping array. A conservative estimate of the duration it can trap the

Bloodseeker Beasts would be one to five years."

Pu Mingyue quickly added, "With this buffer of at least a year, it's enough for us to slowly think of a way to reseal them again."

"This is not bad."

Fan Qi nodded. "Let's talk as we move."

Hearing this, everyone resumed their running.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of rushing wind sounded, creating a whirlwind.

Soon, a group of seven people rushed out of the fourth level and came to the third level. According to the drawings seen on the dome of the fourth level, they found a

mechanism on the wall at the entrance of the Dragon Slaying Platform and stopped its operations.

After the group passed through the Dragon Slaying Platform and arrived at the other side, they continued to search for more mechanisms.

After finding it, they would reactivate the Dragon Slaying Platform to operate the other way round.

In other words, after coming up from the fourth level, be it the members of Ghost Ride or the Bloodseeker Beasts, they would have to feed the Dragon Slaying Platform for

it to remember the aura of their life form before they could pass through.

This move was actually to guard against the members of Ghost Ride!

Once a Bloodseeker Beast died, the other Beasts around it would become even stronger after absorbing its blood energy.

The encirclement of the Dragon Slaying Platform would strengthen them.

If it was not to stop the members of Ghost Ride from escaping and continuing to destroy the underground palace and even obstruct the setup of the trapping array

formation, Zhao Fengxian and Gu Zhanlin would not have wanted to do so.

Compared to the Bloodseeker Beasts that had yet to become Beast Kings, even though they were violent and manic, the members of Ghost Ride were more destructive.

At the very least, before the Bloodseeker Beasts become Beast Kings, they could not fly in the sky.

Therefore, in order to reduce any accidents, Zhao Fengxian decisively cut off Ghost Ride's escape route and adjusted the Dragon Slaying Platform to operate in the

opposite direction.

After that,

the group continued to rush. When they returned to the second level and rushed out of the central hall, they saw Wang Tiedao, Li Linzhou, Li Chunzhen, and the others

who were waiting outside.

"Master, there was a group of people who broke into the third level. They were very fast, and had already entered the hall when we realized it," reported Wang Tiedao as

she received Pu Mingyue.

"They won't be able to come out."

Gu Zhanlin sneered coldly, "Those bastards have already died inside. Even if they do come out, there won't be many of them left!"

"What do you mean?" Li Linzhou was puzzled.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's get to the entrance of the underground palace and head to the surface. Anyway, let's leave first."

Gu Zhanlin interrupted and called for Fan Qi to support Zhao Fengxian out.

Pu Mingyue also called for Wang Tiedao, Li Linzhou and the others to follow.

They were very fast.

After everyone left the underground palace, Gu Zhanlin, Bu Qing, and the others searched for mechanisms on the walls on both sides of the entrance again.

After finding them, they decisively closed the doors of the underground palace again.

Dong!

A heavy sound echoed in the cave.

Only then did Gu Zhanlin, Pu Mingyue, Bu Qing, and the others heave a sigh of relief and slow down slightly.

"Um, what went on down there? Who obtained the legacy?" Li Chunzhen couldn't help but ask.

"The legacy is fake." Gu Zhanlin gritted his teeth. "There are only thousands of Bloodseeker Beasts sealed in the depths of the underground palace."

"Bloodseeker Beasts? What Bloodseeker Beasts?" Li Chunzhen was puzzled.

Wang Tiedao, Li Linzhou, and the rest were also puzzled.

"Let Old Fan talk to you." Gu Zhanlin did not answer. Instead, he called out to Su Jingxing and shouted, "Brother Li, let's go, we'll head to the seal location."

"Alright." Su Jingxing nodded.

With a tap of their toes, the two of them soared into the sky and rushed into the horizon.

"Huh?" Li Chunzhen was even more puzzled as he watched the two of them disappear.

"The Bloodseeker Beasts are…" Fan Qi explained to the group.

Meanwhile, Pu Mingyue frowned and asked, "To set up the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array, I need a rare treasure or spirit weapon of the wood attribute. I don't have any.

General Zhao, does your Prefecture Army have any?"

Chapter 229 Has The Yu Nation Already Fallen? (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After hearing what a Bloodseeker Beasts was and knowing the dangers of such a terrifying Mutated Beast, everyone was moved.

Most of them were from Qinghe City. Once the Bloodseeker Beasts broke out of Green Cloud Mountain and invaded Qinghe City, their relatives and friends would be greatly threatened.

Heavens knows how many people would die.

Faced with such a frightening catastrophe that could possibly break out, no one retreated.

Including Huang Xinghai. The old man decisively stayed behind after hearing about the dangers of the Bloodseeker Beasts.

Even if he really wanted to retreat, this was not the time to do so.

After all, couldn't the underground palace hold for two hours?

Therefore, everyone got moving. Under Pu Mingyue's command, they rushed to the surface and dispersed, heading towards the surroundings of the valley. They wound find the nine nodes for the array formation and

complete the arrangements for the earlier stage.

This large group of people who had come to explore the underground palace were divided into three groups and each took their own missions.

Su Jingxing and Gu Zhanlin flew straight to the seal location of the Flying Lion army.

Soon, the two of them arrived above the mist-covered lake.

Gu Zhanlin took out half of the Flying Lion Ring.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing also reached into his pocket and took out the other half of the Flying Lion Ring from his palm space.

The two halves of the Flying Lion Ring were first put together before they were slowly rotated to find the connection point.

The moment the reassembly was completed ——

Whoosh!

Aray of white light shot out from the ring and spread in all directions.

The complete version of the Flying Lion Ring seemed to come alive as it flapped its wings gently.

"The array formation on the lake is said to be very easy to break with this."

Gu Zhanlin said slowly as he landed on the surface of the lake with the complete Flying Lion Ring in hand.

No reaction.

The Flying Lion Ring remained motionless. Nothing happened.

The huge lake was also silent.

Through the thin mist, they saw that the Flying Lion army inside the lake was also unmoving.

"Perhaps we need to infuse true energy?" suggested Su Jingxing.

"Let's give it a try." Gu Zhanlin circulated his true energy and infused it into the Flying Lion Ring.

As expected, the Flying Lion Ring reacted. The wings flapped faster at first, then the lion opened its mouth and let out a silent roar.

Buzz!

An invisible aura surged in the air and spread across the lake.

Wherever it passed, the mist rolled and dissipated bit by bit.

The dozen mountains connected to the lake shook slightly at this moment.

Su Jingxing acutely sensed that the massive aura that enveloped more than the dozens mountains and even the lake was gradually weakening with the silent roar from the lion's mouth.

Gu Zhanlin continued to infuse true energy into the ring, and the soundless roar became louder and stronger.

In the end, the massive aura that enveloped the surrounding mountains and lake completely disappeared.

The mist on the lake also dissipated completely.

The array formation… was gone!

"Done?"

Gu Zhanlin shifted his palm to make sure that the changes in the Flying Lion Ring had stopped and immediately looked down at the center of the lake.

Su Jingxing also looked down at the 108 figures standing inside the lake.

These figures were wrapped in a unique energy membrane that isolated them from the corrosion of the waters.

At this moment, blue light appeared on the surface of the bodies of the 108 figures.

Swish! Swish!

Wisps of dim light flickered endlessly like phantoms.

Soon, Su Jingxing heard a heartbeat.

Badump!

Then the second, third, fourth…

One heartbeat after another came from the lake, echoing in his ears.

Even though they were weak at the beginning, they quickly returned to normal.

"They're awake."

Gu Zhanlin also heard this. He immediately controlled his body and flew away from the lake.

Swish!

Su Jingxing followed behind. They flew to the small slope and looked at the surface of the entire lake. Bubbles began to appear.

The bubbles that kept popping up from the bottom of the lake rose and burst.

Until…

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a large splash that shot into the sky, a figure suddenly leaped out of the water. Its aura rose continuously, causing ripples in the air.

"Third-grade… no, second-grade!"

Gu Zhanlin's pupils constricted. He looked at the tall man who had charged out of the water with surprise in his eyes. "He has been in a deep sleep for more than 400 years. He actually recovered so quickly once he

woke up."

There were a total of 108 members in the Flying Lion army. Among them, 100 were in the fourth-grade, five were in the third-grade, and three were in the second-grade.

The first person to emerge from the water was a second-grade martial artist.

Although this was expected, he was still a little surprised.

It was mainly because he had recovered too quickly.

The self-imposed seal of the Flying Lion army, sealed their consciousness, and dantian along with their bodies.

After unlocking the seal, they would have to recover bit by bit. They had to adjust to the true energy circulating in their dantian again.

That he had recovered so quickly, it could only be said that the tall man who soared into the sky was very impressive.

"You are the ones who awakened us?"

The tall man had strong facial features and an extraordinary aura. He scanned his surroundings and his gaze landed on Su Jingxing and Gu Zhanlin. He asked in a deep voice, "Which year of the Yu Nation is it today? Or

rather, has the Yu Nation already fallen?"

"Um…"

Gu Zhanlin was stunned. Then, he quickly explained, "Well, the Yu Nation hasn't fallen yet. It's been more than 400 years since you went into hibernation, General. I'm the Commander of the Changyang Prefecture

Army, Gu Zhanlin. We awakened you because we encountered a major incident that is endangering the world. We need your help.

"The Bloodseeker Beast, a terrifying Mutated Beast evolved from the ancient Bloodseeker Beasts using their own blood! In a valley not far from here, there is a group of more than a thousand Bloodseeker Beasts

awakening from a thousand years of seal. Once they escape the Green Cloud Mountain, the two nearby cities will be annihilated.

"The lives of tens of millions of people in the cities will become the food of the Bloodseeker Beasts.

"Once the Bloodseeker Beasts absorbs too much blood energy, they will transform into Beast Kings. If more than a thousand Beast Kings are really born, then all life on this land will die!

"Although this is offensive, I still implore General to help us intercept the Bloodseeker Beasts and complete the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array to temporarily trap them in the valley."

With that, Gu Zhanlin bowed down to the tall man.

Su Jingxing also lowered his head slightly.

This matter was urgent and could not be delayed.

Convincing the Flying Lion army to join them was crucial.

If the Flying Lion army refused to help, then…

"We can help."

The tall man replied in a deep voice, "But all of you must remember that we are not doing this for the Yu Nation, the Xia Family, or even the Chen Family. We are doing this for the common people at the bottom rungs.

The common people are innocent and should not bear the consequences of your mistakes!"

"Um…"

Gu Zhanlin laughed dryly, but did not dare to say anything else. He hurriedly nodded and replied, "Thank you, thank you. Thank you so much, General!"

Swish! Swish!

At the right time, the lake water rose, raising splashes in the air.

One after another, figures rose from the center of the lake into the air.

400 years later, the 108 Flying Lions had been gathered again.

The tall man faced everyone and explained the reason for the awakening. Then, he announced the upcoming operation.

Stop the Bloodseeker Beasts!

Before mobilizing, morale must be boosted.

Seeing this, while feeling excited, Gu Zhanlin also sighed.

Su Jingxing took in his expressions and chuckled inwardly.

Gu Zhanlin's initial goal in searching for the Flying Lion Ring was to recruit the Flying Lion army into the Changyang Prefecture Army.

Unexpectedly, the Flying Lion army did not have a good impression of the Yu Nation at all. In fact, they were rather repulsed by it.

Previously, Su Jingxing had heard the third-grade expert from the Chen Family who had arrived in Qinghe City reveal some secrets.

There was a grudge between Chen Family and Liu Chenglong.

In the end, after hearing this tall man's words, he realized that not only did Liu Chenglong have a grudge with the Chen Family, he also had some conflicts with the imperial Xia Family.

Although Liu Chenglong had asked Su Jingxing to swear an oath to protect the Yu Nation, the people he was truly guard were the common people.

The Flying Lion army was Liu Chenglong's trusted subordinates when he was alive. They were the most representative of Liu Chenglong and would never make up lies.

As such, Liu Chenglong's situation back then was probably extremely tricky.

Even the reason why the Flying Lion army chose to seal themselves was probably not very pleasant.

No matter what, reinforcements had finally arrived.

After the 108 members of the Flying Lion army were gathered, they immediately followed Gu Zhanlin and Su Jingxing back to the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

Back in the valley, they had just landed when the ground suddenly trembled. The lingering sound of a stifled roar came from underground.

"The Bloodseeker Beasts are coming up!"

Chapter 230 Breaking the Seal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boom!

The ground shook violently.

Accompanying the suppressed roars in the underground palace, the entire valley was trembling.

Crack! Crack!

The ground split open.

With the entrance of the underground palace as the center, thick cracks quickly formed.

Hu hu hu~

Dust filled the air, spread and swirled in the sky.

Bam!

A loud bang resounded through the sky and ground.

Buzz!

Amidst the trembling, the ground of almost the entire valley shattered, and extensive collapse occurred.

Dust billowed and filled the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds from the Bloodseeker Beasts ramming against the underground palace came from underground and soared into the sky.

The shockwave produced by this burst dispersed the dust and revealed a clear hole.

In the large cave, a complete outline of the upper half of the underground palace was exposed under the blue sky.

Boom! Boom!

Loud bangs resounded incessantly.

Muffled roars coupled amongst them echoed through the air.

Wave after wave of shockwaves continued.

In midair, Su Jingxing, Gu Zhanlin, and the others were ready for battle.

"Looking at this impact, the underground palace probably won't be able to trap them for two hours," Huang Xinghai commented with a solemn expression, frowning.

"Head Mingyue's array formation hasn't been completed yet. Once the underground palace gives in, we'll have to go first," said Lu Wuchang.

"General Zhao's wood attribute treasure hasn't been delivered yet. I don't know how long it will take to complete the array formation. I think everyone should be prepared to make a move," said Bu Qing through gritted

teeth.

"That's no problem. But are you sure we can't kill thse Bloodseeker Beasts?"

The person who spoke was a thin middle-aged man wearing an ancient-style battle robe.

"General Xiao, you might not know this, but the structure of a Bloodseeker Beast is very special. They do not have hearts… No, to be precise, they do not have internal organs. Including bones and brain, everything was

evolved from the essence of the Bloodseeker.

On a hill not far away, Pu Mingyue, who was presiding over the early-stage setup of the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array, spoke in a clear voice that resounded in everyone's ears.

"Due to their unique structure, we can't kill the Bloodseeker Beasts with ordinary methods. Even if there is only one and it turns back into Bloodseeker Essence Energy after death, it will still be able to absorb blood

energy.

"As long as it is given enough time to absorb enough blood energy, it will be reconstruct to form a new Bloodseeker Beasts!

"Most importantly, the Bloodseeker Essence Energy will automatically search for life forms to invade. For example, once we humans allow the Bloodseeker Essence Energy to enter our bodies, while martial artists who

cultivate true energy will be fine as they can control their true energy to resist it,

99% of the lower-ranked martial artists and ordinary people without true energy will be corroded by the Bloodseeker Essence Energy. From their physical bodies to their souls, they will mutate and in the end, they will

become a new Bloodseeker Beast!"

Silence.

Everyone in the air fell silent.

They were both shocked and in disbelief.

"No wonder Martial Sage Yue chose to seal them away." After a while, Gu Zhanlin came back to his senses and sighed.

"Is there no way to deal with this Bloodseeker Essence Energy? It can only be sealed?" asked Bu Qing with a frown.

"There is!"

Pu Mingyue's clear voice sounded again. "In ancient times, even Bloodseekers could be killed, let alone the Bloodseeker Essence Energy. To deal with Bloodseeker Essence Energy other than sealing it, the other way is

to refine it!

"Legend has it that in ancient times, there were some special ultimate techniques and secret techniques that could be used to refine the Bloodseeker Essence Energy. The problem is that most of these ultimate

techniques have been lost, and few people know about them.

"For example, the Hundred Flower Valley only knows about the existence of the Bloodseeker Beasts and some related information about the Bloodseeker Beasts and other Ancient Demons. But there are no records of

how to deal with them."

"That's already very good," said Lu Wuchang with a sigh. "However, if we take care of the Bloodseeker Beasts one by one, turning them back into Bloodseeker Essence Energy and store it in sealed alloy containers. Will

that also have the effect of eternal sealing?"

"You kill a Bloodseeker Beast by extracting its vital energy and absorb a mass of the Essence Energy, and sealing it in an alloy container before burying it in a hidden place?" Gu Zhanlin was puzzled.

"Yes."

Lu Wuchang's eyes were bright. "This way, the Bloodseeker Essence Energy won't be able to invade living beings. And they can dream on about turning back into a Bloodseeker Beast!"

"Good suggestion."

Su Jingxing said coolly, "Let's this idea aside, and not talk about whether it can be achieved. If it can really be done, the question is, how can you guarantee that these containers that hold the Bloodseeker Essence

Energy won't fall into the hands of ambitious people and conspirators?"

"Well…" Lu Wuchang was speechless.

That's right, there was no lack of conspirators and ambitious schemers at any time.

Ghost Ride was the best example.

Who could guarantee its stability after they turn the Bloodseeker Beasts into balls of Bloodseeker Essence Energy and locked them in fixed containers?

Though sealing the Bloodseeker Beasts could not keep them away from the schemes of conspirators as well,

the seal was extremely powerful. It was not something that could be broken in a short period of time or by a few people.

It required a cautious organization to plan for a long time before taking action.

Even if they did, they might not succeed.

Yue Dongliu had used his own physical body to suppress the seal. Had it not been for the fact that more than half of his strength had dissipated after a thousand years, it would have been impossible for Ghost Ride to

break through the seal with the attacks of a few top-ranked martial artists.

Therefore, Lu Wuchang's idea could only remain an idea.

It was almost impossible to achieve.

"No matter what, let's trap the Bloodseeker Beasts first," said Huang Xinghai in a low voice.

"That's right." Gu Zhanlin nodded and looked at the rest. "We'll have to trouble the generals when the Bloodseeker Beasts come out later."

"There's no need to speak further about this. Since we've already agreed, we'll naturally hold on until the end."

The tall man who was the first to wake up and rush out of the water said in a low voice.

"Yes, yes. I naturally believe General Wan's words." Gu Zhanlin smiled.

As one of the three second-grade experts of the Flying Lion army, the tall man's name was Wan Sansi.

The two others were a thin middle-aged man named Xiao Yuanfang,

and a woman with a cold demeanor with a veil on her face. Her name was Zhou Leng.

When Liu Chenglong was still alive, the three of them were generals under the command of the Rising Dragon Saber King.

400 years after sealing themselves, they had come back to life.

For now, their tones remained polite and refined.

This was especially so for Wan Sansi. He was the most inflexible and seemingly the strongest. However, his behavior and actions were extremely strict. He was very rigid and had no smile on his face.

tt would be difficult to even share a few words with him, let alone joke around.

Looking at him, Gu Zhanlin's plan completely dissipated…

Boom!

A loud explosion interrupted the discussion.

Everyone immediately turned to look in the direction of the sound.

The northwestern corner of upper half of the underground palace that had been exposed suddenly shattered, revealing a hole.

Whoosh!

The moment the hole appeared, a disheveled figure emerged from within and soared into the sky.

"It's him!".

Chapter 231 Encircle A First-Grade Martial Artist

Gu Zhanlin exclaimed.

"Who is he?" Wan Sansi frowned.

"I don't know his name. I only know that this person is the source of this disaster. He and a dozen of his subordinates are all from Ghost Ride."

Gu Zhanlin explained, "Because of him, our Great General was severely injured by a sneak attack. Martial Sage Yue's seals were also broken by him and his men. As a result, more than a thousand Bloodseeker Beasts were revived and turned into a disaster."

"We closed the underground palace. We thought that these people had already been killed by the Bloodseeker Beasts. To think this leader had actually broken the underground palace and escaped!"

"Right, this fellow is a first-grade expert!"

"First-grade?" Wan Sansi murmured. "Even if this person is first-grade, he must die!"

With that, his figure flashed and he flew out.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Xiao Yuanfang and Zhou Leng tacitly followed. The three of them tore through the air and blocked the lanky man's path. As a first-grade expert, it was not surprising that the tall and thin man could kill his way out of a group of thousands of Bloodseeker Beasts. Breaking through the ceiling of the underground palace and creating a hole was also within the acceptable range. At this moment, the tall and thin man appeared to be in an extremely sorry state. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn, and his body was covered in blood. One of his arms seemed to have been crippled as it hung limply.

Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, and Zhou Leng appeared and blocked his way. The tall and thin man with a slightly dispirited aura immediately erupted. Without a word, he controlled his Martial Art True Intent, the saber with a long handle and slashed in the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An intense explosion echoed in the sky.

As soon as the lanky man made a move, Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, and Zhou Leng decisively launched a counterattack.

Wan Sansi's Martial Art True Intent was very special. It was a small hill about 30 meters tall.

As soon as it appeared, it fell from above the lanky man's head, releasing a terrifying suppressive force.

The saber energy released out by man only stirred up a small ripple before it was destructively crushed.

But he still blocked it!

The tall and thin man with wounds on his chest and back emitted a circle of light. An invisible force blocked the suppression of the mountain.

Swish!

However, a fiery red chain pierced through the air and struck the man. This was Xiao Yuanfang's Martial Art True Intent, a flaming chain!

The burning chain carrying a heavy force smashed into circle of light around the tall and thin man's body, causing sparks to burst out. He retreated uncontrollably. However, he only took half a step back before he was forced to the ground by the Martial Art True Intent of the hill above him.

Three seconds before landing, he was swept by a dense rain of swords.

This was Zhou Leng's attack. Her Martial Art True Intent was two swords, and the weapons in her hands were also two swords.

It was equivalent to the perfect fusion of Martial Art True Intent and the spirit weapon in her hands.

The power unleashed would naturally be even stronger.

Due to the rain of swords, a stretch of holes appeared on glow on the surface of the man's body.

Three of the sword energies successfully tore through the light barrier and penetrated his body, causing blood to flow from the corners of his mouth and his face to turn increasingly pale.

Even so, the lanky man remained tenaciously alive after crashing into the ground and creating a huge pit.

With a loud roar, his long-handled saber suddenly enlarged. Then, it spun rapidly, tore through the air, and danced around the lanky man. The saber energy released formed a barrier that protected the lanky man as he flew into the air.

"He wants to escape!"

Bu Qing growled, "A first-grade martial artists is just this troublesome!"

"You said it yourself that he's a first-grade martial artist. How could he submit so easily?" Gu Zhanlin continued in a deep voice. "A first-grade martial artist's physical body and soul are very powerful. If you want to kill him, you have to shatter them at the same time!"

"Can they do it?" asked Lu Wuchang in a low voice.

"We'll know soon enough," said Huang Xinghai, narrowing his eyes.

Su Jingxing remained silent. Indeed, they would soon know. However, the might of a first-grade martial artist had also broadened Su Jingxing's horizons

ons

The tall and thin man had already suffered heavy injuries in the underground palace. Now that he was surrounded and attacked by Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, and Zhou Leng, even though he was at a disadvantage, he was still undefeated. He retreated as he fought, trying to escape.

Unfortunately, Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, and Zhou Leng were not ordinary second-grade martial artists.

Before sealing themselves, they were generals leading troops into battle. Their aura, true essence, and Martial Art True Intent were all very powerful.

However, due to the long period of hibernation, their strength had not fully recovered so quickly. The goal of encircling the lanky man was firstly to prove their name, and secondly, to move around and speed up their recovery.

Therefore, in the face of the tall and thin man's escape, Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, and Zhou Leng attacked mercilessly. They struck with all their might, mobilized their true essence, and controlled their Martial Art True Intents.

In the sky, shockwaves, explosions, and loud noises sounded endlessly.

During this process, because a hole had been created, the roars of the Bloodseeker Beasts in the underground palace that struck straight to the spread outside, creating ripples in the air.

The Flying Lions, who were guarding the mountain paths, forks in the roads, and peaks around the valley, as well as Li Linzhou, Han Zong, Li Chunzhen, and the others, all felt this terrifying sound wave attack that targeted the soul for the first time.

Those who were not in the fourth-grade could not resist for more than a few seconds.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Roar!

A deafening roar resounded through the air along with the sound of collision.

The collapsed ground shook violently, extending all the way to the other mountains.

"Damn the members of Ghost Ride. They made a hole, lowering the defense of the underground palace with that. In at most half an hour, the Bloodseeker Beasts will break through the seal and come outside."

Lu Wuchang couldn't help but curse. "Prepare to make a move." Gu Zhanlin sighed. "I wonder how long it will take for the General to retrieve the rare treasure and complete the array formation."

"They're already back." Su Jingxing looked into the distance.

In the distant horizon, a row of twelve fighter planes were flying towards them at their fastest speed.

Behind the fighter jets, there were also a dozen armed helicopters and transport planes flying quickly.

Boom! Boom!

A sonic boom reverberated through the air.

The twelve fighter planes were the first to arrive and circled around the valley.

The armed helicopters lowered their altitudes and sealed off the exit of the valley.

As soon as the transport planes arrived above the valley, the cabin door opened and figures jumped out.

Experts from the Prefecture Army!

Their lowest realm was fourth-grade, and the highest realm was second-grade.

Under Zhao Fengxian's orders, apart from some who stayed behind to guard the army base, more than half of the experts from the Prefecture Army arrived at the valley.

They would work with the Flying Lion army to stop the Bloodseeker Beasts that were about to break through the underground palace.

The appearance of fighter jets and helicopters caught the attention of more the Flying Lions.

Such an item made of metal could actually carry so many people and fly in the sky. How was that done?

The ancient mechanisms also included wooden horses and wooden birds flying in the air.

However, the most important thing was still the array patterns.

However, they could clearly sense that none of the metal objects in front of them leaked any energy fluctuations!

So, how did they were they flying?

While they were feeling curious–

Boom!

A loud explosion suddenly erupted.

The tightly shut door of the underground palace finally shattered.

The first Bloodseeker Beast charged to the surface with a roar!

Chapter 232: Birth of the Beast King

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roar!

A deafening beast roar resounded through the sky and ground.

The materialized sound wave spread and swept through the entire valley.

Martial artists below the fourth-grade felt a stabbing pain in their minds as the world in their vision spun.

Roar!

Snarls filled the air.

The first Bloodseeker Beast leaped up and moved at high speed, rushing out of the valley.

Buzz!

The air vibrated as a giant palm imprint condensed in the air. It descended from the sky and suppressed the Bloodseeker Beasts. It sprawled on the ground and struggled with all its might.

Roar! Roar!

An indignant roar resounded through the valley.

The Bloodseeker Beasts snarled repeatedly as it began to struggle, trying in vain to break free from the suppression.

Roar! Roar!

Inside the broken door of the underground palace, the second, third, fourth…

In the blink of an eye, a dozen, dozens of Bloodseeker Beasts rushed out of the underground palace.

Subsequently, an endless stream of Bloodseeker Beasts roared and reappeared under the light of day.

"Get to work!"

Gu Zhanlin's voice wrapped in his true energy reverberated through the entire venue.

"Everyone, attack! Try not to kill the Bloodseeker Beasts if you can!"

The death of one Bloodseeker Beasts would strengthen several Bloodseeker Beasts.

The more dead Bloodseeker Beasts, the faster the Bloodseeker Beasts around them would get strengthened.

For this reason, the people scattered around the valley focused on intercepting

and beating back. It would be best if they could suppress the beasts and confine them on the ground, rendering them immobile for the time being.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Fengxian, who had returned on a plane, met up with Pu Mingyue and handed over a wood-elemental treasure.

With the treasure in hand, Pu Mingyue immediately set about completing setup of the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array.

Only if the array formation was successful could it temporarily relieve the pressure from the Bloodseeker Beasts' outward charge.

Like the others, Su Jingxing shifted quickly in the air, occasionally repelling the Bloodseeker Beasts that were charging towards the periphery of the valley.

Be it the Air Splitting Palm or the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, their suppression effects were not strong, but the offensive power was sufficient. Once he struck the Bloodseeker Beasts, he would only destroy them.

It would be best if the Bloodseeker Beasts were kept alive.

Therefore, Su Jingxing had been beating them back and only injured them if he really had to.

For example, breaking their limbs and making them howl angrily on the ground.

The others did the same.

However, there were always exceptions. One after another, the Bloodseeker Beasts died under the attacks.

[Bloodseeker Mutated Beast corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

'Yes!"

Su Jingxing responded inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.

Every Bloodseeker Beasts was a Mutated Beast. Once they died, he would naturally extract cards.

This was also Su Jingxing's unique gain.

Unlike the others, who were only getting exhausted. Their true essence, even if consumed slowly, would still be depleted quickly when facing hundreds of Bloodseeker Beasts.

[Card5]

[Card6]

The notifications flashed quickly, and the true energy cultivation that Su Jingxing circulated slowly decreased.

The others expending their true energy, and so was Su Jingxing.

Amidst the chaos, a loud bang suddenly came from the northeast corner of the valley.

Boom!

The deafening bang spread in all directions.

A terrifying shockwave swept through the air and covered the ground.

Everywhere it passed, many people were pushed back or left half-kneeling on the ground.

[Cardl]

A notification flashed through Su Jingxing's mind. He looked at the northeastern corner of the sky and saw Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, and Zhou Leng returning to the valley to join the team that was intercepting the Bloodseeker Beasts.

The tall and thin man who was besieged by them, the leader of the Ghost Ride this time was nowhere to be seen.

Associating this with the card he had extracted and the terrifying shockwave, it was obvious that the tall and thin man had been killed. Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, and Zhou Leng had succeeded.

They didn't even leave a corpse behind. They simply blew it up, leaving no loose ends.

A first-grade martial artist was indeed powerful, but he first suffered the siege of the Bloodseeker Beasts, then rushed out of the underground palace in a sorry state. Finally, he was encircled by three second-grade martial artists. The tall and thin man's death was within expectations.

Only this outcome came a little too fast.

In the eyes of many, the lanky man could at least hold on for an hour or two, or even successfully escape.

Now that he was dead, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Of course, not many people had the time to sigh, and not for long.

Everyone tossed the tall and thin man to the back of their minds and returned to

intercepting, beating back, suppressing, and wounding the Bloodseeker Beasts.

Roar!

Roar!

A deafening roar accompanied by a terrifying sound wave resounded through the sky and earth.

The shockwaves released by the roars of hundreds or thousands of Bloodseeker Beasts from time to time gave even Su Jingxing a slight headache.

Apart from Su Jingxing and a few others who had the ability of mental defense, the others had to simply withstand this soul-piercing sound wave.

Su Jingxing had the Heaven Trampling Elephant. The Martial Art True Intent of Zhao Fengxian, Pu Mingyue, and the others were strong enough. This was why they could defend against external mental attacks and block most of them.

Clenching their teeth, they resisted the stabbing pain and stopped the Bloodseeker Beasts from rushing out of the valley.

Outside the valley, the prefecture army's military helicopters were equipped with high-speed machine guns. They stopped in midair and fired at the lone Bloodseeker Beasts that ran out of the valley from time to time.

The fighter jets in the sky roared and locked onto the lucky ones who had escaped from under the high-speed machine guns into the woods. They fired their shells, either sending them flying, getting injured or killed.

At this moment, there was no time to care about anything else. Casualties were unavoidable.

Among the intercepting teams, there were people who with exhausted true energy who were clawed and bitten to death by the Bloodseeker Beasts from time to time.

The amount of Bloodseeker Essence Energy that the Bloodseeker Essence Energy turned into after death gradually increased, and was absorbed by the other Bloodseeker Essence Energy, making them stronger.

Finally, the first Beast King was born!

Roar!

A terrifying roar that resounded through the sky came from a corner of the chaotic valley.

A thick blood-colored pillar of light accompanied with a roar charged into the sky.

A boundless, ferocious, and bloodthirsty might swept out in all directions.

Under the stimulation, the excited roars of all the Bloodseeker Beasts grew louder and louder,

Flu!

The ten-meter tall Bloodseeker Beast King stepped on the ground and soared into the sky.

Its hideous mouth opened and released a frightening sound wave.

Roar…

Bang!

An abrupt, dull thud interrupted the Bloodseeker Beast King's sound wave attack.

Su Jingxing threw a punch through the air. The silvery-black fist imprint swooped down at high speed and struck the Bloodseeker Beast King.

The light membrane on the body of this enormous Mutated Beast flickered as it retreated repeatedly.

After steadying itself, its bloodthirsty eyes pierced through the air and locked onto Su Jingxing.

The next second—— Bam!

With an explosion, the Bloodseeker Beast King's massive body disappeared.

Danger!

Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat. He decisively executed the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations, leaving behind a few true energy manifestations to attract the Bloodseeker Beast King. His main body landed on the ground and repelled a Bloodseeker Beast.

Rip!

Boom!

Sure enough, a loud bang came from the air above him.

The Bloodseeker Beast King that disappeared appeared where Su Jingxing originally was and tore apart his true energy clone.

In the next second, it disappeared again and pounced at Su Jingxing.

Roar!

As Su Jingxing dodged again, he released the Sishui Horned Dragon to surround his body to guard against the Bloodseeker Beast King's attacks.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Sishui Horned Dragon appeared, Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, Zhou Leng, and the other five third-grade experts of the Flying Lion army all shifted their gaze to Su Jingxing and became wide-eyed!

Chapter 233 Shrouded By A Giant Lotus

Fast!

Too fast!

The speed at which the Bloodseeker Beast King that was born after absorbing enough Bloodseeker Essence Energy was inconceivably fast.

It was completely "teleporting"!

At this speed, only Su Jingxing could constantly dodge a few seconds ahead of time as he was targeted.

Had it been anyone else, it would have caught up to them in a few moves and they would have no choice but to fight it head-on.

In terms of physical strength and close combat ability, no one present except Zhao Fengxian and Su Jingxing could resist the Bloodseeker Beast King to the end.

Zhao Fengxian relied on his realm, while Su Jingxing relied on his transcendent body.

However, Zhao Fengxian was severely injured and poisoned.

Su Jingxing didn't want to expose his transcendent body.

At the very least, he didn't want to be exposed so soon.

If I still can't do anything to the Bloodseeker Beast King at the very end, then I'll expose myself…

Buzz!

The air trembled.

A 30-meter-tall mountain descended from the sky.

The strange thing was that there was no terrifying suppression that was as heavy as a mountain.

Su Jingxing was feeling puzzled when he suddenly heard a low voice by his ear.

"Hold on…"

"Go now!"

Swish!

Su Jingxing left behind a manifestation of true energy to attract the Bloodseeker Beast King, who had locked onto him, and his main body fled far away.

Roar!

The Bloodseeker Beast King, which had disappeared and reappeared again, tore apart his true energy manifestation and continued its pursuit.

However, right at this moment, the mountain floating in the air suddenly erupted with light and released a terrifying suppression, holding the Bloodseeker Beast King in its original position and immobilizing it.

The frightening pressure firmly enveloped the Bloodseeker Beast King. Amidst the roars of this massive Mutated Beast, the mountain in the air fell, pushing the Bloodseeker Beast King into the ground at zero distance.

Before landing, two flaming chains pierced through the air. One wrapped around the Bloodseeker Beast King's limbs, binding it, and the other wrapped around its mouth, silencing

it.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the immobile Bloodseeker Beast King who couldn't open its mouth crashed into the collapsed pit, causing the ground to shake.

"Thank you for your help." Su Jingxing soared into the air and cupped his fists in thanks to Wan Sansi and Xiao Yuanfang. The ones who had helped him were Wan Sansi and Xiao Yuanfang.

One was the Martial Art True Intent of a mountain, and the other was the Martial Art True Intent of a flaming chain.

With tacit cooperation, they successfully trapped the Bloodseeker Beast King.

Of course, such a trap was only temporary. To completely take care of it, they would have to rely on Pu Mingyue's Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array. "May I ask how you condensed your Martial Art True Intent?"

Faced with Su Jingxing's gratitude, Wan Sansi asked in a low voice with a grim expression. Martial Art True Intent?

The Sishui Horned Dragon?

That's right, these people were Liu Chenglong's subordinates when he was alive. When they see the same Martial Art True Intent as what Liu Chenglong had, they would naturally be curious and would ask about it…

"Haha, this Brother Li's Martial Art True Intent wasn't condensed by himself. Instead, it was inherited from the Rising Dragon Saber King!"

Laughter broke out all of a sudden. Lu Wuchang, who was not far away from Su Jingxing, happened to just beat back a Bloodseeker Beast King. He burst out laughing. "You didn't hear wrong. Brother Li was very lucky to have entered the Mausoleum of Prince Qin and obtain the treasures left behind by the Rising Dragon Saber King. All the treasures of the Rising Dragon Saber King are with him!"

Tsk!

Su Jingxing cursed inwardly.

Lu Wuchang is sowing discord again.

Looks like if I don't teach him a lesson, he won't remember…

"There are no burial treasures in the main mausoleum of our General. There are only his remains and his Martial Art True Intent, the Sishui Horned Dragon that was separated from him."

Xiao Yuanfang's calm voice sounded in the ears of many people present. "Besides, entering the mausoleum isn't that easy," added Zhou Leng.

Bu Qing, Gu Zhanlin, and the others were speechless.

After all this, Su Jingxing had only obtained the Martial Art True Intent of the Sishui Horned Dragon after entering the Mausoleum of Prince Qin?

The so-called treasures in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, treasures that could advance a person to the third-grade, was merely inheriting the Sishui Horned Dragon?

Lu Wuchang, who had repelled two Bloodseeker Beasts with his fan, was shocked and speechless.

Gu Zhanlin, Bu Qing, and the others were more or less felt the same. They were initially envious of Su Jingxing, but now, they felt a little sympathetic.

Zhou Leng had said that entering the Mausoleum of Prince Qin was not easy and one had to pay a price.

If he had Liu Chenglong's treasures as compensation, then paying a price was fine.

However, there was only the Sishui Horned Dragon. He had made a loss no matter how they looked at it.

In fact,

If he had not extracted a Transcendent Body Card from Liu Chenglong's corpse and an energy ball, Su Jingxing would truly have suffered a loss by agreeing to protect the Yu Nation for ten years.

But how could Su Jingxing tell anyone about such gains?

Xiao Yuanfang and Zhou Leng's words saved him trouble.

After this matter was over, no one would be interested in the "treasures" in his hands anymore.

Because it was simply pnly the Martial Art True Intent of the Sishui Horned Dragon.

The Martial Art True Intent had already been inherited. Unless the person himself was willing to strip it away, others could not forcefully separate them.

Therefore, while others were sighing, Su Jingxing was overjoyed.

"Everyone! The array formation has been set up. It will be activated in three breaths!"

Pu Mingyue's crisp voice suddenly sounded in the air above the valley.

"Please leave immediately.

"The countdown begins now.

"Three.

"Two.

"One!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the valley, in the sky and on the ground, everyone left the valley before the last second was counted.

They either charged into the woods or soared into the sky.

Buzz!!!

A second after everyone left, the mountains around the valley suddenly shook.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Eight bright pillars of light rose from the mountains and hills, reaching a hundred meters into the sky. They blended together and bloomed into a giant lotus flower.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Strong winds swirled and energy danced.

The giant lotus slowly descended from the sky, releasing a translucent light screen that covered the entire valley.

Only when it was about 20 meters away from the ground did the giant lotus stop and remained floating.

The translucent light barrier continued to descend, going deep underground until it was 500 meters deep. Then, it blended together and completed the bottom.

Looking down from the sky, the entire array formation was like a huge lotus flower growing among the few peaks.

The mountain peaks were the lotus leaves, and the hundreds of Bloodseeker Beasts were lotus seeds.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, the Bloodseeker Beasts crashed into the translucent light barrier. Eight trigrams emerged at the points of impact.

s

e

All of the power dissipated amidst the swirling Eight Trigrams without stirring up any ripples.

Swish! Swish!

Bang!

Wan Sansi and Xiao Yuanfang controlled their Martial Art True Intent to self-destruct at the same time and kill the Bloodseeker Beast King.

(Card1]

A notification flashed, and Su Jingxing calmly looked down at the ground.

The Bloodseeker Beast King exploded into a cloud of Bloodseeker Essence Energy that was quickly absorbed by the other Bloodseeker Beasts.

Fortunately, these few Bloodseeker Beasts had not reached the stage of transforming into Beast Kings.

Amidst the roars, they quickly split up, either sprinting or jumping. They crashed into the translucent light barriers, producing eight trigrams. Without the Bloodseeker Beast King, the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array would undoubtedly last longer. "Hu! Finally done."

Lu Wuchang landed on a mountain peak and leaned against a huge rock. He looked at the valley shrouded by the giant lotus and sighed from the bottom of his heart. "That damn Ghost Ride almost caused a huge disaster. By the way, Head Mingyue, does this array formation seal off all entries and exits?"

"More or less!"

More or less?

Chapter 234 Young General!

What kind of answer was that?

"Don't tell me there are flaws in this array formation?" asked Lu Wuchang nervously.

"It's not that bad."

Pu Mingyue chuckled. "What I mean is that the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array is just an array formation. Since it's an array formation, it can be broken. As long as someone can unlock it, they can freely enter and exit the valley.

"Of course, it won't be easy to do that. This formation has been extremely famous since a thousand years ago. Even if an array formation grandmaster were to come, he wouldn't be able to break it easily.

"Firstly, I've fused it with the vital energy of the valley. Forcefully breaking the array formation will target the entire valley, and even the surrounding mountains. To break it, one has to succeed in one go. Even a first-grade martial artist cannot do this.

"Secondly, why did I ask to find a wood-attribute treasure or spirit weapons to be the foundation of the array formation? It's because wood-attribute treasures or spirit weapons can replenish the energy of the array formation. For example, every time these Bloodseeker Beasts collide with the barrier of this array formation, they will give some energy to the array formation. When this energy is absorbed back, it can limit the impact of the Bloodseeker Beasts' attacks and quickly eliminate the destructive force."

"Mutually complementary and neutralizing?" Lu Wuchang's eyes widened. "Impressive, Head Mingyue. This Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array is impressive!" "It's indeed not bad. According to the rules of this cycle, wouldn't it be able to trap the Bloodseeker Beasts for life?" Gu Zhanlin was pleasantly surprised.

"No." Pu Mingyue shook her head. "Even the most powerful formations will gradually dissipate over time. Just like machines, they have to be maintained from time to time in order to last long. The same goes for the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array. As time passes, the effects of the outside world will intensify. When that time comes, it will automatically disintegrate even without the attacks of the Bloodseeker Beasts."

"That's good enough. At least it'll give us a year of buffer time," said Lu Wuchang.

"That's right. With this one year, we will be able to find a way to completely seal the entire valley," agreed Fan Qi.

"No matter what, we can put this matter aside now." Huang Xinghai clapped his hands and grinned. "I believe there's nothing else for me here, right?" "No, thank you for your help, Old Huang," said Gu Zhanlin.

"You're welcome." Huang Xinghai waved his hand. "Since there's nothing else, I'll make a move first."

With that, he soared into the sky and flew into the distance.

"I have to go too," said Bu Qing in a low voice. "This matter needs to be reported to the capital to the Head Supervisor and the others."

"Let's go together," Su Jingxing agreed. "Alright." Bu Qing nodded. The two of them pushed off their toes and charged into the sky.

Hu~

Hu!

The sound of rushing wind echoed in his ears.

Su Jingxing and Bu Qing headed straight for Qinghe City against the strong winds.

Suddenly, Su Jingxing stopped and sent a voice transmission with his true energy. "Envoy Bu, go ahead first. I have some matters to attend to."

"…Alright, we'll meet again next time," replied Bu Qing before continuing to fly forward.

Su Jingxing remained in the air. Moments later, he took out Thunderbolt and enlarged it. Stepping on it, he flew to the left and swiftly increased his speed.

Double sonic speed, triple sonic speed, quadruple sonic speed… sextuple sonic speed!

He pushed to the fastest speed in one go. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three figures appeared where Su Jingxing had stopped after he disappeared. They looked at each other as they stared at Su Jingxing's tracks.

"What should we do? Young General is way too fast?" A man in his thirties scratched his head and exclaimed.

"Kang Shaoyu, can you not address him so cordially? It's still unknown whether this person is qualified to be our Young General," sneered Zhou Leng.

"At least in terms of speed, he is qualified!" Kang Shaoyu grinned.

"…Do you look at speed when looking for a Young General?" Xiao Yuanfang was speechless. "There's clearly something wrong with this Li Jing. The human skin mask on his face is very advanced. If it wasn't for Little Duan's special talent, ordinary people wouldn't have discovered it. He deliberately disguised himself like this. Putting everything else aside, his true identity is definitely not simple!"

"Not simple? Heh, can it be more complicated than ours?"

Kang Shaoyu disagreed. "This person has inherited the Sishui Horned Dragon and swore on his soul to protect the Yu Nation for a hundred years. No matter what his identity is, he is qualified to be our Young General!"

"You…"

"Besides," interrupted Kang Shaoyu. "If we don't follow this Young General who has inherited the Sishui Horned Dragon, do we join the Changyang Prefecture Army and obey the Xia Family's orders?"

"The Yu Nation is run by the cabinet now, not the Xia Family," said Xiao Yuanfang irritably.

"Same thing." Kang Shaoyu waved his hand and said, "To put it nicely, it's the cabinet. A decision is made after all the ministers have a discussion. In reality, isn't it a group of people who gather together because of benefits?"

"Don't tell me you didn't know what these ministers are like before we went into hibernation?"

Zhou Leng and Xiao Yuanfang remained silent.

"I believe all of you still remember how the General died back then," said Kang Shaoyu calmly. He continued, "If not for those corrupt ministers in the imperial court, would the General have died so early? Would we have been forced to seal ourselves?"

Zhou Leng and Xiao Yuanfang became even quieter. Kang Shaoyu exhaled and went on, "Of course, what's in the past is already in the past. If we keep harping on it, it will only make things worse for ourselves. It wasn't easy for us to wake up and come to a new era 400 years later. Even if we don't follow the Young General, we can still find something for ourselves to do."

"In any case, I won't join the military and listen to a group of profit-driven people. Especially the Golden Chen Family. They're still active today. With the Chen Family's background, do you think that none of the members in the cabinet are from the Chen Family?"

Xiao Yuanfang and Zhou Leng were even more speechless.

The Golden Chen Family had been sworn enemies of the Flying Lion army for more than 400 years.

Even after so many years, the Golden Chen Family was still a top faction in the Yu Nation.

If they joined the Prefecture Army, would the Golden Chen Family not take action?

Impossible!

"You're right." Xiao Yuanfang sighed and said, "Unless we disband, following the Young General is the best choice. The Young General who swore on his soul to protect the Yu Nation also needs us."

"But to follow the Young General, we have to find him first, right?"

Xiao Yuanfang shrugged.

Su Jingxing ran too fast, and they lost him. They didn't even have a chance to speak to him.

"There's no hurry."

Kang Shaoyu chuckled strangely. "It doesn't matter if we can't catch up. We'll get someone to do a divination reading and we'll know where the Young General is later!"

Su Jingxing took a long detour before returning to Qinghe City. He descended to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and did not know that someone was planning to follow him.

But he knew the people following him.

The person with a very familiar name, Lord Yuan Fang!
