Chapter 1207 Buddha's Secret
The cultivators of the ninth level of Hedan from Yaodu Prefecture, seeing the two before them, gritted their teeth and said, "I've already run this far, and you still want to chase me!"
"Do you really want to fight me to the death?"
Chen Yang turned to Le Jin Lu Tu and said with a smile, "Help me hold the fort. Can this person serve as practice for me?"
Le Jin Lu Tu looked at Chen Yang in confusion. "If you're confident, then by all means, but still be cautious. This fellow's vital energy has weakened considerably, but he's still at the ninth level!"
The ninth-level Hedan cultivator from Yaodu Prefecture never expected that these two would not take him seriously at all, especially this fifth-level Hedan.
He actually wanted to deal with him alone. How much did he look down on him?
"Ah! You're seeking death!" The ninth-level Hedan cultivator from Yaodu Prefecture's mind was instantly consumed by rage.
He charged directly at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang did not consume spirit stones, intending to go head-to-head.
"Nine Secrets of the Heavenly Witch! Earth Element!"
A brownish-yellow aura enveloped Chen Yang.
Chen Yang immediately felt his body being strengthened.
The moment the two clashed, the full force of the ninth-level Hedan cultivator's attack landed on Chen Yang, only causing a ripple of aura.
Chen Yang grunted, his brow furrowing.
"A ninth-level Hedan is indeed powerful. Even though his vital energy has weakened so much, he can still shake my Nine Secrets of the Heavenly Witch."
Strengthening his physique was a technique Chen Yang had just comprehended from the Nine Secrets of the Heavenly Witch.
As for Chen Yang's strike, it landed squarely on the opponent.
The ninth-level Hedan cultivator from Yaodu Prefecture instantly felt all his meridians begin to burn, and even the vital energy in his blood began to boil!
"No!" The ninth-level Hedan cultivator from Yaodu Prefecture had little vital energy left. After such boiling, it was consumed at an extremely rapid pace.
The body of the ninth-level Hedan cultivator from Yaodu Prefecture began to wither visibly.
Chen Yang gave him no chance, instantly unleashing the Heavenly Travel Secret Art, one of the Nine Secrets of the Heavenly Witch.
The three spiritual energies within his body merged into a single punch, which, with the impact of the Heavenly Travel Secret Art, pierced directly through the opponent.
Looking at the mysterious substance drifting in mid-air, Chen Yang's face lit up with joy.
Although he had obtained a lump of mysterious substance after killing Venerable Wu Tu, Venerable Wu Tu was someone on the verge of a breakthrough.
He hadn't expected this ninth-level Hedan to have one as well.
After putting the item away, Chen Yang immediately took Le Jin Lu Tu back to the Land of Hope.
Le Jin Lu Tu looked at Chen Yang beside him, feeling a sense of awe and also some nervousness in his eyes.
What was most terrifying about Chen Yang was not the explosive power he displayed, but the composure he showed when facing such matters!
A ninth-level Hedan!
If he, at the fifth level of Hedan, had achieved all this, his heart would have been overwhelmed by joy!
But Chen Yang did not. He acted as if it were a matter of course.
As the two returned to the Land of Hope, Chen Yang was stunned by the scene before him.
Behind the Three Emperor Buddhas stood a large group of people.
Among these people were humans and others from the Earth Realm, and even the three supreme Hedan realm cultivators of the Earth Realm were behind the Three Emperor Buddhas.
Upon seeing Chen Yang, the Three Emperor Buddhas clasped their hands together and said with a smile, "Benefactor Chen, you've returned so quickly."
"Since that's the case, I shouldn't linger."
"The crisis in the Land of Hope has been resolved, and the transaction between us is concluded. I shall take my leave."
Seeing the Three Emperor Buddhas in such a hurry to leave, Chen Yang immediately blocked their path and said with a smile, "Senior Three Emperor Buddhas, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"When Senior Shi Xin Chou and the others return, we can gather again."
"Moreover, you've resolved so many troubles for the Land of Hope. I must express my gratitude. Why don't you rest for a while in the Land of Hope?"
Chen Yang looked into the distance, where a restaurant that had not been damaged by the aftermath of the Hedan battle stood.
The Three Emperor Buddhas' gaze fell upon Chen Yang. After sizing him up, they understood that Chen Yang would not let them leave so quickly, so they nodded in agreement.
As soon as the Three Emperor Buddhas left, Le Jin Lu Tu finally relaxed his breathing and said nervously to Chen Yang, "This fellow! What is he? Being by his side, even my breathing was affected!"
"Don't you feel anything?"
Chen Yang heard this and slowly shook his head.
However, this reminded Chen Yang of something Shi Xin Chou had said...
"Don't go too far. Is that what it means?"
Chen Yang also guessed that the Three Emperor Buddhas possessed some ability to influence those around them.
Even supreme Hedan realm cultivators could not escape such influence.
Looking at the devastated Land of Hope, Chen Yang immediately summoned those who remained. However, most of them had gone to the cities of Yaodu Prefecture.
Upon seeing A'anda, Chen Yang said with some emotion, "Let's first see what can be repaired. As for what cannot be repaired, we'll wait."
Chen Yang was currently unsure of the other forces in the Earth Realm.
The lord of Yaodu Prefecture was being pursued by Shi Xin Chou. Even if he managed to escape, he would likely be severely weakened.
With Le Jin Lu Tu guarding, the threat from Yaodu Prefecture to the human race had been reduced.
But Yaodu Prefecture... was only one of the forces in the Earth Realm!
The three supreme Hedan realm cultivators following the Three Emperor Buddhas were what Chen Yang was worried about.
Just as Chen Yang was preparing spirit stones to head to the restaurant, he encountered Wu Min and Bei Xuan.
Even stranger was that standing beside them was someone he found extremely familiar.
He had seen him in a shop in Dongcang last time, a fifth-level Hedan cultivator from Yaodu Prefecture.
Seeing the blood-stained Chen Yang look at him, Chi Da Wan couldn't help but tremble.
Chi Da Wan could only force a smile and nod, "Chi Da Wan greets the Human Leader."
Wu Min explained, "Bei Xuan and I, along with a few others, were originally going to the city in Chi Da Wan's possession, but unexpectedly, Dongcang stopped us. Although Chi Da Wan is from Yaodu Prefecture, he has no blood feud with the human race."
"On the contrary, he has had dealings with many businesses in the Land of Hope."
Chen Yang had heard about this person from Dongcang before, so he nodded. "As long as there's no blood feud, it's negotiable. All future business between the Land of Hope and Yaodu Prefecture will be entrusted to you. However, before that, you need to provide more information about Yaodu Prefecture."
Saying this, Chen Yang exchanged a glance with Wu Min and Bei Xuan.
The few of them moved to a secluded corner, and Chen Yang then looked at Wu Min with confusion. "Senior Three Emperor Buddhas, what did he do to those three Hedan realm cultivators? And those people following him..."
Upon hearing this question, Wu Min did not answer immediately, but looked at Bei Xuan beside him.
Bei Xuan's expression at this moment was also extremely conflicted.
"Perhaps, I should say it!" Bei Xuan said bitterly.
"After all, this is a secret of Buddhism."
