Chapter 1220 The Earth Realm
The symbiotic nature of the Celestial Movement Secret Arts and the Nine Secrets of the Celestial Witches allowed Chen Yang to touch upon another possibility.
"Before, Old Wu seemed to know some things about the Nine Secrets of the Celestial Witches!" Thinking of this, Chen Yang couldn't help but snort coldly.
These ancient martial artists hid too many secrets. He had to meticulously peel away their disguises!
Chen Yang did not return to the main city of Yaodu Prefecture. He had already found the place where treasures were stored before, but the contents had been taken away by the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable. As for whether there were other treasure vaults here, Chen Yang was unclear.
"I need to let the big rat come and thoroughly inspect this place!"
Just as Chen Yang was preparing to leave, a tremor in his spiritual power caused him to pause for a moment. Was it his own spiritual power? Chen Yang looked towards Yaodu Prefecture with doubt, and following the trace of spiritual power, he immediately discovered the problem. It was Wang Zhuowen!
Chen Yang immediately patted his head. He had never expected to forget this kid. "It seems that being a tree for tens of thousands of years has still had an effect on me!" After a bitter self-mockery, Chen Yang had no choice but to head in Wang Zhuowen's direction.
At this moment, Wang Zhuowen looked at the two mysterious figures before him, his face tense. Wang Zhuowen's hand tightly gripped his dagger, protecting himself. "Why have you been following me?"
The two mysterious figures exchanged glances. One of them chuckled, "You have good talent. Come with us, and we can provide you with resources to further improve your strength."
Wang Zhuowen gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I'm not going with you. My lord is arriving soon. He is at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment realm!" In truth, Wang Zhuowen did not know Chen Yang's true strength. He could only try his best to scare these people away.
Hearing this, the mysterious figures chuckled. Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment? They weren't the first to notice this fellow! Such a promising talent, they worried about complications, so they acted early. Since the Divine Venerable left Yaodu Prefecture, their actions had become somewhat exposed. As long as they captured a few more talented individuals, they could leave Yaodu Prefecture. Then, they could follow their Divine Venerable Master again!
Seeing the mocking smiles on their faces, Wang Zhuowen knew he was probably doomed today. He turned to leave. He was indeed at the Foundation Establishment realm, but these two were at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. Having just entered Foundation Establishment, he was no match for them.
Wang Zhuowen wanted to leave, but how could these two mysterious figures let him go! One of them flickered and directly blocked Wang Zhuowen's path. Wang Zhuowen's heart hardened. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well fight!
The mysterious figures, who expected Wang Zhuowen to surrender, saw the dagger in Wang Zhuowen's hand suddenly transform into two. Before they could react, Wang Zhuowen had already charged forward. Like a brilliant firework, the dagger in Wang Zhuowen's hand drew an elegant arc in the air. However... "Clang!" With a crisp sound, the dagger in Wang Zhuowen's hand was firmly gripped by the opponent's two hands.
The other mysterious figure, seeing this, couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha! This is hilarious. I thought you'd be stronger, but it turns out, you're just this!" But the mysterious figure who caught Wang Zhuowen's dagger couldn't be happy at all. This dagger! No! The next second, Wang Zhuowen also showed a smile. "It's too late!"
Wang Zhuowen released the dagger and muttered, "For this item, my Wang family was destroyed, and I wandered all the way to the main city of Yaodu Prefecture. I never thought I'd just live like this for the rest of my life." "But you gave me no choice!" "Why, why did you have to bother me? I didn't want to do this at all!" Wang Zhuowen poured all the spiritual energy within him into that dagger.
Chen Yang, sitting on a rooftop, raised an eyebrow when he saw this scene. A Foundation Establishment first level killing a Foundation Establishment fifth level? Although the strength of this Foundation Establishment fifth level wasn't very strong, and they looked rather weak, under normal circumstances, they were far from someone Wang Zhuowen could kill. Thus, the situation likely stemmed from the cultivation technique and the dagger.
"The cultivation technique this guy is practicing and that dagger, it seems they are not simple." Chen Yang muttered, but he had no interest in this cultivation technique or dagger. With more and more cultivation techniques appearing in the Land of Hope, Chen Yang had a systematic understanding of Earth Realm cultivation techniques. If he were Wang Zhuowen, facing these two, he would have many ways to resolve the situation. Of course, Chen Yang also discovered a problem. Wang Zhuowen's spiritual energy was running low. With that burst of power, had the guy used up all the spiritual energy in his body? Seeing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but curl his lips. It was clear he lacked combat experience.
At this moment, the Foundation Establishment fifth level cultivator behind Wang Zhuowen reacted immediately upon seeing this scene, "You, you, you! You killed him!" "How is this possible! Impossible!" "Ah!" Wang Zhuowen slumped to the ground. He was just waiting to die now. After all, he had no strength left! In this moment, Wang Zhuowen closed his eyes. He thought of many things. Revenge... escaping, he had considered many possibilities. But he had lived in pain every day. Now, it was a release. As for his adoptive siblings, they had found good homes, so Wang Zhuowen no longer worried about them.
However, the pain Wang Zhuowen had imagined did not come. He didn't even feel anything. In his ears, only a familiar voice could be heard. "Didn't you hear him? I may not be at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, but I'm at least at the Core Condensation realm. Do you not take me seriously?" Chen Yang's hand tightly gripped the mysterious figure before him and, in the next moment, began to refine him. To maintain his Dao heart, Chen Yang had not used this kind of technique for a long time. But now, in order to investigate what was behind all this, Chen Yang didn't mind accumulating some karmic debt.
Wang Zhuowen saw this scene and his eyes turned red. He immediately started to cry. Chen Yang looked at him with confusion. He only heard Wang Zhuowen crying softly, "I thought, I thought you didn't want me anymore!" Chen Yang's heart trembled. This Wang Zhuowen seemed to be two years younger than those wolf children. Moreover, this was in the Earth Realm. "How could that be." "Stop crying. Get up and clean up the battlefield. You'll have to get used to it." If this were in the Human Realm, Chen Yang would certainly not ask Wang Zhuowen to learn so many things. But this was the Earth Realm. Besides, a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm was far stronger than those wolf children.
After extracting the memories of the mysterious figure, a name immediately appeared in Chen Yang's mind. Divine Venerable?
