Chapter 784: Chapter 476 Tang Sect Annihilation, a New Opportunity Arises! _2
Dead.
Tang Xianzhuo had ultimately died.
He had failed to block Chen Yuan’s strongest strike, losing utterly under that single blow.
Chen Yuan stood in the void, slowly closing his eyes.
A wisp of green Qi Fortune light, invisible to ordinary people, surged into Chen Yuan’s body in an instant.
In the depths of his consciousness, the Qi Fortune Altar slowly absorbed the Qi Fortune, turning gently for a moment as a new opportunity for guidance welled up in Chen Yuan’s heart.
“In the Blood Lake at the Liangyou Border of Shuzhou, lies the hundred-year spirit wood, reaching up to heaven and extending through Earth, teeming with endless green, quivering the cosmos to discern the will of Heaven!”
Opening his eyes, Chen Yuan’s gaze shot out a bright essence.
Shuzhou Border, Blood Lake, Spirit Wood, the will of Heaven…
Could it be that this opportunity was meant to let him take a shortcut and directly comprehend the intentions of heaven and earth?
As Chen Yuan pondered over this new opportunity, everyone else nearby simultaneously relaxed, with a common thought flashing through their minds.
It’s over!
The two Dan Realm Masters from Tang Sect had fallen today; what remained were only those at the Reach Profound and Gang Condensation levels, hardly capable of stirring up any trouble.
Shangguan Yu let out a breath, a smile appearing on his face. Indeed, Brother Chen was unrivaled; all one had to do was believe in him.
All that nonsense about the top thirty on the Fengyun List, all that crap about the bearing of Yang Transformation.
In Brother Chen’s hands, they couldn’t even last fifteen minutes.
Pah, rubbish!
Even though he was no match for Tang Xianzhuo, that didn’t prevent him from viewing it from Chen Yuan’s perspective.
After all, they were brothers-in-arms; Chen Yuan’s victory was also his own.
Liu Zhenzong also let out a breath, slinging the Divine Bow back over his shoulder, relieved that his trust was not misplaced. Chen Yuan dared to face Tang Xianzhuo alone because he was indeed quite confident.
Young people, truly unable to let go of fame and fortune…
Indeed, the current Liu Zhenzong believed that Chen Yuan’s reason for facing Tang Xianzhuo alone was to climb higher up the Fengyun List by stepping over him.
Beyond that, he couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanations.
And he certainly wouldn’t consider that Chen Yuan could gain any significant benefits from Tang Xianzhuo.
Of course, if Chen Yuan knew of Liu Zhenzong’s thoughts, he probably wouldn’t deny it but simply smile and tacitly agree. He would rather people see him in that light than ponder more deeply.
While Jianghu was convinced the victory was set, the remaining disciples from Tang Sect showed fear on their faces; earlier, they had been fearless, invigorated by the belief that their Sect Leader was unbeatable.
But now their Sect Leader and Elder were gone, turned to mist, not even leaving behind fragments of limbs – completely erased from the world.
What about them?
Now it seemed there was only one path left: certain death!!!
“Let’s go, to the Liangyou Border,” said Xiang Lingtian, seeing the day’s events conclude, slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air. Although somewhat unwilling, he was powerless to do anything else.
He could only watch as Tang Xianzhuo fell.
Fortunately, they had spared themselves from idle talk, and Tang Xianzhuo hadn’t exposed him.
What followed was a trip to the Liangyou Border, hoping for a smooth journey.
“Mhm.”
Xiang Linwu nodded, but when her gaze fell onto Chen Yuan, she couldn’t help feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, uncertain where it stemmed from.
“Someone is spying.”
Suddenly, a faint voice emerged from the Emperor Slaughter Saber.
It was Moluo’s voice.
“Who?”
“I can’t perceive it clearly; they must possess an Exotic Treasure that shields against heaven’s secrets.”
“Where are they?”
“To the back left.”
Hearing Moluo’s words, Chen Yuan immediately turned to look, but saw nothing, and after a moment of silence, his figure halted, and under the puzzled gazes of many, he transformed into a streak of light and shot off towards a peak on the back left.
“Senior, who do you think the observer is?” Chen Yuan asked, narrowing his eyes.
By the time he got there, the place was empty, devoid of any traces left by others. Yet he had a premonition that the person Moluo the senior spoke of had indeed been here before.
It was only because the distance from Dujiangyan was too great, and he had been fully immersed in the battle with Tang Xianzhuo, that he hadn’t sensed it.
“It might be related to that Illusion Realm.”
After a long while, Moluo spoke.
Chen Yuan’s expression grew solemn. He had the same feeling; ever since he had come out of seclusion and fought with Tang Xianzhuo, he had discovered an issue – the Secret Realm had nothing at all to do with Tang Xianzhuo’s preparations to revive his wife.
So why had he gone through all the trouble to invite so many Dan Realm Masters, only to kill them in a trap?
There was definitely a problem behind this!
“Junior believes that if the Blood Pond is indeed related to the former Grand Ancestor Chu, perhaps… the one observing us could be remnants from the fallen Chu,” Chen Yuan speculated.
He couldn’t think of other reasons, but if he considered the Blood Pond, it was inevitable to come to this conclusion. Because at a glance, it was obvious that the Blood Pond had been deliberately created.
And its purpose was to enhance the Bloodline Power of the Xiang Family’s descendants.
It must be connected.
Of course, that premise hinged on whether the Blood Pond was indeed linked to the former Grand Ancestor Chu. If it was connected to another Martial God at the peak of their powers, then it wouldn’t be a trace of the former imperial Chu bloodline.
“Perhaps…”
Moluo didn’t say much more.
Chen Yuan exhaled, scanning his surroundings before eventually returning to the original battlefield. The observers had long since vanished without a trace.
Even if he wanted to find them, it would be impossible.
Upon Chen Yuan’s return, the once calm battlefield erupted into fighting once more, but it was different from before. While the previous battle had been evenly matched, now it was a one-sided slaughter.
