I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.

So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.

While other...

Chapter 718 Doubt

Ding-a-ling.

Zhang Chen was suspended in the air, and he took out a golden bell from his right hand and shook it gently. The crisp sound of the bell mixed with the rain and penetrated into the sand layer below. In just a moment, the calm desert below began to stir, and the sand began to shake like the sea, and a large number of sand snakes rushed out from below.

"receive!"

Zhang Chen held down the golden bell, and then he drew out the sword with his right hand and slashed downwards.

The sword energy was mediocre, nothing special about it.

But the sand snakes below seemed to be possessed, and flew up one by one, rushing towards the sword energy. An ordinary sword energy actually killed more than a hundred sand snakes. There were some third-level sand snakes in the Jindan realm among them.

Zhang Chen seemed to have long been accustomed to this scene. He kept waving his sword, and with his other hand he took out a cloth bag from his waist and opened the bag downwards.

"receive!"

A strong black wind blew up, and a strong countercurrent of wind swept up from the ground.

Blood flew up into the sky, and the gallbladder of the dead sand snake flew into the bag like a peeled egg. The whole process was smooth and there was no pause.

"These sand snakes were raised by the Ancient Sword Sect. When they were hatched, the masters of the Ancient Sword Sect stamped the Ancient Sword Seal on their souls. We only need to activate the seal to kill them."

Zhang Shi has a very strong ability to read people's expressions.

After a brief contact, he already had a guess about Chen Luo's identity.

This senior is most likely an old monster who has been in seclusion for more than a thousand years! Only old monsters from a thousand years ago would not know the rules of the Ancient Sword Sect and understand the Ancient Sword Sect's systems. The most important thing is the "Land of Immortal Falls". In addition to the people of the Ancient Sword Sect, only those old monsters at the level of refining the spirit have the ability to come in.

"good."

Chen Luo put one hand behind his back, looking like a hermit.

We have just come into contact with this world, so it is not excessive to be cautious when facing a behemoth like the Ancient Sword Sect.

It is best to lie dormant for a while and use the reverse possession method to create some puppets. The puppetry here is very powerful, and the puppetry in the external brain has already had ideas. Once the two are combined, his puppetry will definitely come out on top and become the strongest killer in his hand.

The black spots below began to return. Master Lin Feng gained a lot this time. The quality of the evil souls in the soul flag was improved to another level. The part previously consumed in the tree of good and evil was fully replenished, and there was even some left over.

The rain gradually subsided.

Zhang Chen below saw this and quickly closed the bag, tied it with a rope, and hung it around his waist. He jumped lightly and flew back to the boat.

"return!"

Zhang Shi took out a token and threw it out, and the puppets on the boat quickly changed their formation. The huge flying boat drew a semicircular curve in the air and changed direction to fly out.

Neither of the brothers asked Chen Luo where he was going.

When facing a senior master, the most important thing is to understand his eyes. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, otherwise the senior will be unhappy and throw them off the boat, and they will die. The Ancient Sword Sect will never stand up for a nominal outer disciple like them, unless the enemy is weak and can be solved with just one sentence, otherwise it will be in vain if they die.

Boom boom.

The flying boat reached the edge and was about to cross the desert when it suddenly trembled. The array patterns outside all lit up, and strong energy fluctuations came from the flying boat.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

Zhang Chen looked at the spirit stones consumed in the flying boat and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

The spirit stones for the mission were all paid by the brothers themselves. If they consumed too much, the mission would be in vain, and it might even result in a loss.

"This place is really weird."

Chen Luo walked to the edge, and unlike the Zhang brothers, he saw the source of the problem. The force at the edge of the desert was not hindering the flying boat itself, but him, the man who crawled out of the desert.

To the desert, Chen Luo was a part of it, so he would be hindered if he wanted to escape. From the perspective of the Immortal Emperor Changqing, Chen Luo saw a misty mountain. This mountain towered into the clouds like a monument, and a dense mass of black iron chains stretched out from the bottom. One of them penetrated the mist and bound his body tightly, preventing him from leaving.

If Chen Luo's soul had not been so strong, the iron chain would have pulled him back long ago. But even so, the iron chain hindered his steps and prevented him from leaving the desert border.

Like the sand snake, this body also has marks left by the Ancient Sword Sect.

"The rain is going to stop!"

The Zhang brothers looked unhappy, and they had roughly guessed the problem.

But knowing is knowing, but saying is absolutely not allowed. Zhang Shi looked at the dark clouds gradually dissipating in the sky, and his heart became more and more anxious. If they couldn't go out after the rain stopped, they would be like the creatures in the desert, and be left here forever.

"We can't save any more money, let's get out first!"

Zhang Shi stepped forward quickly, took out the top-grade spirit stone that he had treasured for a long time from his arms, and placed it on the core compass of the flying boat.

Boom! !

The flying boat struggled even more violently, but even with the power of the top-grade spirit stone, it could not escape the influence of the desert. The pitch-black iron chain on its back was like a curse. The harder the flying boat struggled, the straighter it collapsed, and the greater the pulling force.

When the two brothers were about to despair, Chen Luo next to them suddenly had a bloody long sword in his hand.

The long sword chopped down vertically, accurately hitting the invisible iron chain.

clang!!

With a crisp sound, the iron lock broke instantly, and the powerful pulling force brought the broken iron lock back. After losing the restraining force, the flying boat instantly turned into light and flew out through the fog at the edge.

"Tell me about the Land of Immortal Falls."

In the flying boat guest room.

Chen Luo sat down cross-legged and said to the Zhang Shi brothers.

After leaving the desert, he officially entered the area controlled by the Ancient Sword Sect. He planned to first understand the power structure of the Ancient Sword Sect and then make a response. Also, where did Mu Jianyu and his people go, and where were the remaining eight sects of the Upper Nine Sects.

The most important thing is why the "desert" he walked out of was called the "Land of the Fallen Immortals".

"We brothers don't know much about the Immortal Falling Land." Zhang Shi sorted out the clues he knew, while Zhang Chen stood aside obediently.

The scene of escaping from the desert before made them have new guesses about Chen Luo’s identity.

But this guess is destined to be buried deep in my heart.

There are few fools who can make it to the foundation-building stage in the world of cultivation. Registered disciples like their brothers are more cautious in their lives. They don't get involved in things that they shouldn't say or ask.

"Since we started practicing, the Land of Immortals has been over there. I heard from Elder Qu that the Land of Immortals is a relic left over from ancient times, and it is the place where the ancient immortals fell."

The Zhang brothers didn't know much either.

The secret of the Immortal Falling Land was still too far away for the two foundation-building cultivators. Many of the things they knew were hearsay, and the accuracy was yet to be confirmed. But one thing was certain, that was the Immortal Falling Land was the place where the ancient immortals fell, and this was something everyone on their side knew.

Also, this world is not the realm that Chen Luo knows, but a much broader Zhongtian world.

The Ancient Sword Sect only controls one of the domains.

"Is there no one going to dig for treasure at the place where the immortal fell?" Chen Luo interrupted the two brothers' description and suddenly asked.

Digging the immortal’s tomb?

Chen Luo's question left Zhang Shi stunned for a while.

"Is there anyone doing this in the world of immortal cultivation?"

The two brothers were immediately shocked by her beauty, and their eyes towards Chen Luo also changed.

"I heard Elder Qu mention this matter."

The younger brother Zhang Chen, who had been silent, spoke up. Unlike his brother, his interests have always been rather special. He had heard him mention it before when he was trying to get close to Elder Qu.

"A long time ago, someone did have the idea of ​​robbing the immortal's tomb. That person was quite famous, and was a senior of the Wang family. It's a pity that he never came out after entering the immortal's tomb. The Wang family even sent people to look for him, but they found no clues."

Wang family?

It can’t be Wang Chengguan!

Chen Luo thought of the matter of Baixian Cave. He still had the identity of Baixian Cave's direct disciple. Although this identity had not brought him any help in his practice so far, there must be someone alive in Baixian Cave. When Chen Luo entered Taoism, he had seen a Taoist priest, and it was that Taoist priest who entered his name into the roster of Baixian Cave.

For a long time, Chen Luo thought that the Taoist was Wang Chengguan, but now it seems that it is very likely someone else. The Wang family is behind the tomb-robbing plan in Baixian Cave.

"I see."

Chen Luo took out a top-grade spirit stone from the gourd in his sleeve and threw it to the Zhang brothers.

"Thank you, senior!"

The two brothers were very excited. They didn't expect that answering a few questions would bring such benefits. The resentment that consumed the high-grade spirit stones before dissipated instantly.

After sending the two brothers away, Chen Luo finally felt at peace.

He closed his eyes, spread out his consciousness, and began to gather the free energy of heaven and earth from the outside world.

It was completely different from the holy land of immortal cultivation of the Upper Nine Sects that he had expected. The spiritual energy in this place was extremely thin. Not to mention the spiritual veins where the Qionghua Sect in the upper realm was located, even the core area of ​​the Tiannan Region was not as good as it could be.

"Why would the Upper Nine Sect stay in a place like this?"

When he opened his eyes, a hint of confusion flashed across Chen Luo's eyes.

Ever since he left the desert, his problems started popping up one after another, first with the Heart Demon Sect and now with the Ancient Sword Sect.

Everything is different from what was expected.

"Forget it, let's find a place to settle down first."

Suppressing his doubts, Chen Luo walked out of the cabin and found a puppet cleaning the ground outside. He grabbed the puppet's neck with one hand and dragged him in.

The puppet's face is very realistic and almost indistinguishable from a real person.

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

The puppet asked with a smile.

Chen Luo put one hand on the back of the puppet's head, and the spiritual power on his five fingers penetrated the skull like a thread and connected to it. With a "click" sound, the back of the puppet's skull was removed by him. (End of this chapter)
