Xiahou Yuan attacked in anger, and as he swung his sword, murderous intent followed, and it whistled away with a huge momentum.
Chen Sheng remained undaunted, his eyes stern, and he either wielded his sword or clenched his fists, unleashing an astonishing display of combat power.
Xiahou Yan felt a little aggrieved. He had been in the early Nascent Soul stage for many years, but he was forced into a corner by a new opponent of the same level.
"No matter how much you try to guard against, you can never guard against thoughts."
He once again avoided Chen Sheng's fierce attack, his eyes flickered, and he turned out a stone Buddha with three heads, which was extremely strange.
This is a three-phase stone Buddha, which has been melted into a hundred thousand thoughts of "greed, anger, and ignorance", and has the power to confuse people's minds.
"Buzz"
He activated the three-phase stone Buddha, and the statue floated out. Its gray eyes became somewhat lively, and all of them stared at Chen Sheng.
At the same time, a strange and unpredictable force affected Chen Sheng's state of mind.
“Clatter…”
His mood suddenly fluctuated violently, and all kinds of thoughts arose in his mind for no reason, including greed, anger, and stupidity.
These three thoughts grew stronger and stronger, pulling at his mind, trying to drag him into an abyss from which there was no escape.
In an instant, he couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion, and felt like he was in hell all the time.
"kill"
Xiahou Yan activated the three-phase stone Buddha and fixed it in the void to affect Chen Sheng's mood, but his real body came at him at an extremely fast speed. His sword was sharp, flashing with cold light, and could kill dragons and tigers.
"Buzz"
Chen Sheng's heart sank as he sensed the danger, but he was not helpless. He just raised his hands, and a bright light illuminated the void, like a fire that drove away evil.
He bathed in the divine light, and the chaotic emotions in his heart calmed down and he returned to his former tranquility.
"clang"
The sword attacked, able to kill dragons and tigers, but was still blocked outside by the exquisite pearl. The sword light and the golden light entangled with each other, but in the end the latter was solid and immortal.
"This magical weapon is too powerful."
Xiahou Yan had a gloomy expression. Chen Sheng had already been disturbed by the Three-phase Stone Buddha. If he attacked again, he would have a great chance of killing the enemy with one sword.
But with the appearance of Linglong Pearl, everything was reversed. Chen Sheng became invincible. The strange power of the Three-phase Stone Buddha was isolated, and even the sword light could not break through it.
He was somewhat unwilling to give up, and he did not believe that the exquisite pearl was truly flawless, so he once again activated the Three-phase Stone Buddha and put in all his strength.
"call"
It can be seen that the light falling from the exquisite pearl seemed to have turned into a domain, and some areas even became dim.
It was the power of the Three-phase Stone Buddha that invaded. The deeper it went, the slower it went until it stopped. It was even some distance away from the core area.
"Playing these tricks on me."
Mr. Chen felt somewhat disgusted with this confusing power. He turned his hand over and a suona appeared. It was made of ordinary material, but it had a breath of death.
"Woo"
His abdomen bulged and he exhaled, creating a huge force of wind that blew on the mouthpiece of the suona, making a sharp and piercing whistle.
The three-phase stone Buddha standing in the void trembled, fell to the ground, and was covered with dust.
"puff"
Xiahou Yan was the first to be hit. His mood was like an exploding lake. He felt a darkness in front of his eyes. He touched his ears and they were hot. It was obvious that blood was coming out of both orifices.
"kill"
Chen Sheng's voice was slightly cold, and he came forward with his sword. In an instant, sword lights rose and fell, and there were thousands of them, occupying all four corners of heaven and earth. It was extremely thorough.
"Bang"
Xia Houyan felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He understood that he was enveloped by murderous intent and if he made a mistake, he would never be able to get out.
He bit off the tip of his tongue to clear his mind, and then he urged out his blood and essence, held it in his mouth, and spit it out into the void.
“Boom…”
That mouthful of essence and blood, as well as a piece of severed tongue, exploded in the void, as if thunder from heaven and fire from earth were ignited. Blood and fire filled the sky, containing the purest murderous intent of a Nascent Soul True Person.
"clang"
The clear sound of a sword drowned out all other sounds, separating the blood and fire, and a figure holding a sword came galloping like thunder.
His eyes, shining with divine light and murderous intent, locked onto Xia Hou Yan. He slashed with his sword, which contained a certain intention: he would never leave until he killed his enemy.
"roar"
The sword shines brightly, cutting stars like grass.
At this moment, Xiahou Yan really felt the crisis of death. Such an opponent was too terrifying and he could not contend with him at all.
He roared and broke some kind of restriction. His body suddenly became half an inch thinner, like a ball of black mist. He allowed the sword light to cut through him, but he remained intact and merged again.
"You have been targeted and will eventually fall."
However, judging from Xia Houyan's expression, he didn't look okay at all. His body became thinner, his eye sockets became darker, and he looked a bit eerie and childish.
Perhaps he felt that he could not deal with Mr. Chen, so he left, but left behind some harsh words. They did not sound like threats, but more like some kind of destined curse.
"That aura, is it the blood of the underworld?"
Mr. Chen wanted to keep the person, but he couldn't keep such a powerful enemy who still had some strength left.
He didn't care about Xia Houyan's life. What he cared more about was that after the other party used that method, he looked too much like the skinny old man Yunze, with a similar aura and appearance.
This idea is correct, but he feels that he has overlooked something and lacks a little inspiration and insight.
"Continue to investigate..."
Unable to figure it out at once, Chen Sheng did not dwell on it, but looked towards Fangcheng, where the answer should be.
Fangcheng.
This is a majestic and magnificent city with a profound heritage. It is incomparable to Fencheng and stronger than Yunze. At least Chen Sheng sensed that there were two Nascent Soul Qis that did not interfere with each other, one in the south and the other in the north, confronting each other from a distance.
"Isn't this a difficult thing to deal with?"
Mr. Chen murmured.
"Bang"
On the street, in a restaurant with steps made of white jade, someone threw a golden cup and jade from a great height. It fell to the ground and shattered with a loud bang, shocking the people around and making them retreat.
Looking closely, I discovered that it was two teenagers arguing. The aura around them was so tight, like the movement of a steel knife, that one could not look directly at it.
final……
A war broke out.
The two men were very powerful and had no fear of anyone in Fang City. They pushed down houses and destroyed attics without any scruples.
"The young men of the king and Sima are fighting again."
"Ever since the two Nascent Soul ancestors were rumored to be at odds with each other, their disciples have been fighting in order to attract the attention of the higher-ups."
“I don’t know how long this fluctuation will last.”
The people in Fang City were used to this scene, but also a little helpless. The two most powerful people here were fighting secretly, which made them feel uneasy.
This is the will of the strong. Even though they remain silent and motionless, there are still countless people running around and killing for them.
"It really doesn't fit."
Chen Sheng murmured, his thoughts drifting away, and said, "Should I trick them?"
Now, Xiahou Yan asked him to fight off the enemy. Could he enter Fang City under the enemy's identity, deal with two of the Nascent Soul ancestors, and extort more useful information from them?
"Let's try it."
It’s no big deal anyway. If I’m found out, I can just fight again.
…
Wang family.
There were continuous palaces and densely packed with monks. One area was a forbidden area, where the aura of the Nascent Soul Realm was entrenched, like a dragon or a tiger, shocking the crowd.
Beside the well, there stood a man, whose figure reflected in the water looked extremely skinny, old and decrepit, but his eyes were bright, and it was obvious that he had lived a long life, but his vitality was hidden.
“Is this my limit?”
Wang Yuanfeng has been in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm for a long time, practicing hard, but the bottleneck of the realm is as majestic as a green mountain, unshakable, which is really worrying.
“Too slow…”
He thought of a method and followed it, but the progress was slow and he wished he could create a huge wave of blood immediately.
"call……"
A gust of wind blew, and a man appeared in this silent world. He was wearing a gray robe with a suona on his waist. The aura on his body was very unique, like a ghost wandering on the edge of life and death.
"Who are you? How dare you come into my territory?"
Wang Yuanfeng noticed it at the first moment, and raised his eyebrows. He realized that the man was also a Yuanying realm expert. He did not kill him directly, but his tone was not good.
"Yunze was overturned."
The grey robe and suona are naturally Chen Sheng's disguise. He wants to create the characteristics of a Dark Blood person. Even if it is just a little bit similar, it will be of great benefit.
This method of defrauding information naturally cannot let Wang Yuanfeng speak, but must proceed at his own pace.
So he talked about something irrelevant, and said it with confidence and seriousness.
"Yunze? Where is that?"
Wang Yuanfeng frowned, feeling strange. The person who came was strange, and what he said was incoherent.
According to his temper, he would have slapped such a person to death long ago, but as I said, this is a master in the Nascent Soul Realm. It is better to be peaceful and not to make enemies with him.
Also, Chen Sheng's temperament of wandering around life and death made him think of something and he calmed down immediately.
"Idiot! Dark blood!"
Mr. Chen had limited information, but that did not stop him from speaking. Some vague things, when he spoke briefly, seemed precise and sharp.
"Is the cleansing still going on?!"
Sure enough, the word 'blood of the underworld' shocked Wang Yuanfeng. Yunze's sudden change made his mind waver, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.
"That's right."
Mr. Chen nodded slightly, with this kind of expression. Only when Wang Yuanfeng was in a state of confusion could he obtain enough information.
"So what are you doing here?"
Wang Yuanfeng knew that this day would come sooner or later. Once he touched that kind of thing, he would never be able to get rid of it in his lifetime.
He and they are already tied together.
"Idiot! What do you think?"
Mr. Chen scolded again.
"Could it be to speed up the refining of the Nether Blood?"
Wang Yuanfeng was not angry, but fell into deep thought, and his thoughts finally focused on "Underworld Blood".
This was their only connection. Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
"Underworld blood? Refining?"
Chen Sheng was shocked by these few words. If the blood of the underworld is artificially refined, then who is refining it? With this as a bond, who knows how many powerful cultivators in the Thirteen Continents of Yuanliang have been swept away.
"Humph, I'm glad to know. It's still difficult for you to fight alone. How can you fight Sima?"
He was shocked in his heart, but showed no sign on his face. He was like a messenger from afar, knocking on Wang Yuanfeng.
"He's competing with me, so naturally we have to fight."
Wang Yuanfeng had a temper, but he didn't take it out on Chen Sheng. Instead, he had a lot of complaints about Sima Yan, who was also in Fangcheng.
This old fellow was at the same realm as him. With two Nascent Soul ancestors in the same Fang City, it was natural that they would fight each other.
"Be quiet. I'll go over and talk to you. You two should work together and not ruin the plan of the higher-ups."
Mr. Chen said calmly.
"Plan? What plan?"
Wang Yuanfeng wanted to say something, but Mr. Chen had already gone far away, and he had no choice but to leave. If he stayed any longer, he would be exposed.
"Someone is refining Hell Blood and giving it to some monks to make them stronger and cause chaos against the Yuanliang royal family?"
On the streets, Mr. Chen looked no different from other pedestrians, but his mind was filled with thoughts. He kept dissecting the limited information he had.
Finally, he rubbed his eyebrows, felt a headache, but still couldn't make up his mind.
"Do you want to go to Sima Yan's place?"
Mr. Chen murmured.
There is no reason why Sima Yan would not know what Wang Yuanfeng knows. If the two families discuss it, perhaps the truth will come to light.
Without thinking too long, he headed towards the heartland of the Sima family. Perhaps because of his successful experience once, he was more calm and composed this time.
The Sima family was in the south, facing the Wang family from afar. Naturally, there were many palaces and strict patrolling monks. However, he was an old ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage with great abilities. He entered the other party's forbidden area silently.
Here, he saw a figure, equally skinny, and also at the early Nascent Soul stage. The only difference was that this person was probably a little smarter.
"Sima Yan!"
Mr. Chen said frankly.
"My fellow Taoist, do you have anything to say?"
Sima Yan's eyes flashed, and all the brilliance receded, becoming dangerous, and there was a trace of fear. This person came silently and called him by his name, so it seemed that he had already figured out his background.
As for him, he had no idea who was coming, which made him too passive.
"I just came from Wang Yuanfeng's place."
When Chen Sheng revealed the news, Sima Yan's body tensed up and he looked around, as if he was afraid that Wang Yuanfeng would suddenly rush out and kill him.
"idiot!"
Chen Sheng liked this reaction very much, but he said lightly: "How is the refining of the underworld blood going?"
He started to fool people as soon as he got some stuff, but Sima Yan didn't know that. He also learned from Chen Sheng that Wang Yuanfeng contacted him first and didn't think of himself as a "fraudster" at all.
"The number of sacrifices is huge, and you know that. The laws of the Yuanliang Dynasty have not collapsed and are still in operation."
A look of embarrassment emerged on Sima Yan's face. If they made too much noise and the eyes of the Yuan Liang Dynasty were cast upon them, they would not be able to escape without anyone to protect them.
"When can I and those adults be satisfied?"
Chen Sheng felt that he was about to touch upon the real secret. The involvement of the Dark Blood was greater than he had imagined, and it would affect the entire Yuanliang world.
If so, were those who really did things, such as Emperor Yuanliang Qin Zheng and others, blocked the way and were plotted against? (End of this chapter)
