"Deng Tianfang?"
Li Chen’s pupils contracted, but he was at a loss.
How could this matter be connected to Deng Tianfang?
Xu Yang took out the special Jade Talisman from Deng Tianfang and said, "Before coming here, I ran into Deng Tianfang and subdued him; he said he was sent by Xiao Ming to et with a mysterious person here, yet even he didn’t know what the objective was."
"They communicated only through this Jade Talisman."
Xu Yang handed over the Jade Talisman.
"Xiao Ming..." Li Chen’s face changed again and again. He caught the Jade Talisman and studied it closely, his expression soon turning serious as he said, "Mr. Xu, please guard while I work."
"Very well."
Xu Yang nodded in agreent, his gaze wary as he watched Li Chen.
What is he planning to do?
Only to see Li Chen open his mouth and spit out a wad of blood essence, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
The blood essence sprinkled upon the Jade Talisman, which imdiately began to tremble violently.
As if it had been tainted, struggling intensely.
The blood essence, however, could hardly penetrate it.
Li Chen gave a cold snort, ford a seal with both hands, and a spiritual mark erged between his brows, radiating brilliant spiritual light that enveloped the Jade Talisman.
Shua shua shua!!
As countless Seal Skills descended in quick succession.
The blood essence slowly began to infiltrate the Jade Talisman.
At a certain mont,
When the blood essence was fully absorbed, Li Chen cupped his hand with the Jade Talisman, his spiritual mark fiercely flickered, and a powerful surge of purple waves erupted.
"Reveal!"
Crack!
The Jade Talisman was covered with cracks, shattering into pieces.
Yet from within, a ray of purple light burst forth, shooting straight in a certain direction and vanishing into the void.
"What is this?"
Xu Yang gazed blankly at the scene, finding it unbelievable, yet utterly confused.
Li Chen stared at the void, his face suddenly turning grim, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "As expected, it’s related to Xiao Ming!"
"Just now, I used the Spirit-Seeking Skill to obscurely sense the location of another Jade Talisman — there’s a trace of n Long’s residual aura!"
Though extrely faint,
Li Chen could now be certain — it was n Long!
"n Long..." Xu Yang’s pupils shrank.
"Xiao Ming sent Deng Tianfang to collaborate with n Long and hunt down!"
"This sche, however, was thwarted by twice over!"
Xu Yang’s mouth twitched; if Xiao Ming knew this, he might cough up blood in anger.
"Mr. Xu, by accident you’ve done a great favor; if Deng Tianfang and n Long had joined forces, I might not have lasted until you showed up." Li Chen was all the more grateful.
In that situation, even nine lives wouldn’t have sufficed.
Xu Yang waved his hand slightly, his curiosity about Li Chen’s identity growing stronger.
But in the end, he suppressed his doubts.
"By the way, is Deng Tianfang dead?" Li Chen asked.
"No, I was afraid that if I killed him, experts from the Five Elents Celestial Realm would use their ans to spy upon us!"
"That is indeed prudent!"
Li Chen nodded lightly.
Earlier, when trapped by n Long within the Soul Device, he’d guessed n Long probably carried so special object shielding him from powerful detection.
Especially after learning about the connection to Xiao Ming, he was even more convinced.
Five Elents Celestial Realm, Cloud Dream Soul Sect!
Li Chen took a deep breath and said gravely, "Mr. Xu, if you trust , hand Deng Tianfang over to . I will find a suitable place to suppress and kill him!"
"Even if discovered, the Five Elents Celestial Realm would never track you down, Mr. Xu."
Xu Yang’s heart stirred, and without hesitation he summoned Deng Tianfang out.
At this mont, Deng Tianfang’s mind was muddled, his body inert!
He looked no different from a corpse!
But in fact, he wasn’t dead yet, with only a feeble wisp of consciousness still sealed inside him.
"Impressive."
Li Chen thought inwardly, then a trace of killing intent flickered in his eyes as he waved his sleeve and swept Deng Tianfang into a spatial treasure.
"Mr. Xu, I won’t say more. I must take my leave first," Li Chen said solemnly, rising to his feet.
"Take care."
Xu Yang nodded minutely.
Li Chen promptly strode off into the air.
"Which of the seven top sects does this fellow actually hail from?" Xu Yang wondered inwardly.
He was certain: Li Chen definitely ca from one of the seven top factions.
But he just couldn’t figure out which.
After a long while, he shook his head, setting these idle thoughts aside.
No matter who Li Chen was, this counted as a friendly tie.
And from his conduct, he didn’t seem to be a treacherous scher; perhaps in the future, he could be of help.
"Next, I’ll refine all the power accumulated within the Divine Cauldron."
Xu Yang swept his gaze around, then swiftly sped away.
He found a secluded place and began closed-door cultivation.
...
Half a month later.
Xu Yang finished his cultivation and opened his eyes slowly.
"My spiritual mark is now four feet two inches, and my cultivation has reached the Peak of the Middle Realm of True Monarch."
"But even with a vast amount of Wild Beast Essence, breaking through to the high tier in a short ti is still unlikely!"
Xu Yang rose, exhaled, and appeared satisfied!
The greatest gain from this trip was nothing else but the Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating Skill!
With this technique, his cultivation speed would increase several fold.
"But once outside, facing experts of the seven leading factions, I’d better not use it lightly!" Xu Yang warned himself.
This art was the legacy of the First Emperor of Daqian!
Afterward, there were still strong n who tried to follow the First Emperor’s path.
There must be so knowledge and record of this art.
Even after ten thousand years, there’s no guarantee people wouldn’t recognize it.
If recognized, that would be disastrous.
Then those who’d act wouldn’t be ordinary n; even Divine Sky or Heaven’s n experts might not sit still.
"Ti to leave."
Xu Yang stepped into the air.
At the edge of the Fallen Lands, above the abyss.
There was a huge crowd of Martial Artists leaping out from the abyss, speeding toward a wilderness on one side.
In groups, they all headed in the sa direction.
Suspended in midair, Xu Yang stopped the Cyan Fla Boat and looked down at the scene below, full of doubt and suspicion.
"What happened here?"
Xu Yang mused for a mont, then left the Cyan Fla Boat and intercepted a high-tier True Monarch Martial Artist.
"Who goes there?"
The old man, seeing Xu Yang block his path, face darkened and attacked at once.
Boom!
As their fists clashed, the old man was sent flying back in disarray, spitting blood.
Xu Yang, on the other hand, stood motionless, his robe fluttering, looming like a mountain!
The old man’s expression changed dramatically; he imdiately switched tones and flattered, "I was blind and foolish! May I ask what business you have, my friend?"
"Why are so many people headed that way? Did sothing happen?" Xu Yang asked.
Hearing this, the old man sighed in relief: so that’s all he wanted to know.
He promptly replied, "The thing is, it’s said soone has discovered a secret realm outside the Fallen Lands, one that’s never surfaced before — and soone inside obtained a shocking opportunity."
"I’ve heard it said that there’s Tier Three Void Primordial Infinite Pure Water within."
"Just the first tier of this water lets a True Monarch Initial Realm Martial Artist break through to the middle realm with ease; the second lets the middle realm break into the high tier; while the third gives high-tier True Monarchs a great chance to break through to the consummation!"
Xu Yang’s heart shook, his eyes flashing in astonishnt.
He hadn’t heard of it, but this treasure was truly extraordinary.
He’d originally planned to return to the Battle King Clan, but now he’d encountered such a secret realm.
If he could acquire the Void Primordial Infinite Pure Water, he’d be able to break through directly to the high tier of True Monarch.
At this thought, Xu Yang grew fervent with anticipation.
"Oh, and it’s said that the one who discovered it was a Martial Artist of Daqian."
The old man clicked his tongue in amazent: "The lands around the Fallen Lands have already been explored countless tis, never anything found; to think so remnant from the old Daqian Imperial line would arrive and imdiately stumble upon such a phenonal opportunity outside!"
"I must say, truly blessed by fortune."
Daqian?
A glint of hidden sharpness flashed in Xu Yang’s eyes, then he gave a faint nod. "Thank you!"
Before his words had even faded, he was already speeding away.
The old man watched Xu Yang’s retreating figure, secretly clicking his tongue in awe: "He must be an expert from the seven top-level factions; just a True Monarch Middle Realm, yet his strength absolutely crushed —how terrifying!"
"Once in the secret realm, I’d best avoid running into that fellow."
With that mutter, the old man also hurried away.
