《Sovereign of the Heaven》


 C1

    Martial Region Continent, Ling''an City.


    Flower lanterns, wine green streets, the hoarse voice of the peddler, noise everywhere, the voice, surging passion, echoing endlessly.


    As the end of the year approached, people went to the streets to buy New Year''s goods. As a result, every year at this time, Ling''an City''s streets and alleys would be filled with an endless stream of people, bustling with activity.


    The Immortal Library.


    In the famous market city of Ling''an City, the places that specialized in trading calligraphy and books were filled with the fragrance of books. It was as vast as a sea of smoke, causing one''s heart to feel at ease.


    "Boss, how much is this old brush!"


    In a bookstore, a young man wearing a black robe was holding an old brush in his hand as he asked the shopkeeper behind the counter.


    The shop owner was a fat old man, and when there was no business, he would usually hang out on the counter and shop. When the middle-aged old man heard someone calling him, he raised his head and rubbed his hazy eyes, smiling as he said, "Hello, customer. Our store''s prices are low and we offer a discount of half ¡­"


    "Ugh ¡­"


    When the fat old man who was just about to brag about it clearly saw who it was, he suddenly could not say anything else, and his expression kept changing, and then he pursed his lips and laughed: "So it''s actually Sir Di Chen who has arrived, it''s my honor, but I don''t know if Sir Di Chen has come to buy a brush with money?"


    Although the fat old man said these words gently, the teenager in black named Di Chen could still hear the ridicule in his words. However, he didn''t pay much attention to it. Even if his mouth were to cover someone else''s body, he wouldn''t care no matter what.


    Di Chen shook the brush in his hand, and said to the fat old man: "Boss, I do not have much money on me, can you sell this old brush to me at a cheaper price?"


    Even though Di Chen was the Young Master of the Di Clan, one of the three great clans of the Ling''an City, based on his current status in the Di Residence, he was in a difficult situation and was forced to a corner.


    The fat old man''s eyes flashed, hearing Di Chen say that there was not much money, his attitude changed drastically, and he laughed: "Young Master Di, I know that ever since your parents went missing, your family has been bullying you for quite a while, and the monthly tax you pay has been deducted by more than half. Even the security of life could not be maintained. How about this, I won''t take any more of your money. Give me two pieces of money, and this brush will be yours. "Don''t think that it''s old. Actually, the quality is still very good. I can let you write a few words."


    "A noble young master of the Di Residence actually managed to get away with not even a single cent. How terrible."


    The fat old man mumbled to himself as his eyes rolled around. After a while, he put on a bitter face and said, "Alright, it''s not easy for you. One gold coin is enough. We can make a deal."


    Di Chen reluctantly took out the money from his pocket and gave it to the fat old man. Then, he took the ancient brush and walked out of the Immortal Inscriptions Pavilion.


    "I didn''t expect that the rotten brushes I found by the roadside a few years ago could buy it for a penny." The fat old man looked at Di Chen''s disappearing figure and started laughing sinisterly.


    On the busy street, there was a hubbub of voices.


    As Di Chen walked forward, a cold wind suddenly blew past him, blowing away the dust that had been covering his heart for a long time.


    He was the son of Di Shan, the patriarch of the Di Family, one of the three Wealthy Clans in the Ling''an City, living a life of wealth that everyone envied. However, after the unforeseen event seven years ago, his parents had both mysteriously disappeared, leaving Di Chen, who was only seven years old, helpless and helpless.


    Those who were supposed to be his closest friends turned out to be the ones who bullied him the most.


    First, his parents had disappeared, and their family''s uncle had coveted and seized all of their private property. Then, Di Chen had rushed from his original residence into a wooden firewood house that had a leak in all four directions.


    In the past seven years, not only did his clan continuously suppress him, even his clan''s servants dared to mock and ridicule him.


    It was all because his meridians were blocked, so he could not cultivate in martial arts.


    Martial Region Continent was a world of >.


    Rumor has it that powerful martial artists could become saints with their bodies, move mountains and overturn the seas. They could control mountains and lift the mountains, traverse the void. They could even create worlds, become immortals, and proudly roam the nine heavens.


    The powerful Martial Saint could reach through the heavens and the earth. It could look down on all living things in the world, bestow the title of divine being, establish a godly temple, enjoy the worship of people, and absorb the karmic luck of fire and incense.


    The people who grew up in the Martial Region Continent, no matter who, as long as they could not cultivate, were useless in the eyes of warriors. It could be killed at any time.


    Di Chen had experienced the coldness of the human heart, and also experienced the coolness of the world.


    Although he was in a very bad situation, he had never given up hope. Ever since he knew that he could not practice martial arts, he diligently studied the scriptures and the classics.


    For the past few years, Di Chen had continuously gone through hard work to study the scriptures just so that he could one day become famous and change his fate completely.


    Right now, he had already mastered all of the scriptures, poems, and verses. He had reached the point where he could speak freely and fluently. However, his calligraphy was unable to pass this stage.


    That was the reason why he came to the Immortal Wen Pavilion to purchase a brush to practice calligraphy.


    "After the new year, in three months time the Elementary Scholar examination will begin. With my current calligraphy skills, how am I supposed to take the Elementary Scholar examination?"


    Thinking of this, Di Chen became very anxious.


    The Elementary Scholar examination was a grand occasion that happened once every five years in Thousand Autumn Dynasty.


    The Thousand Autumn Dynasty was well-cultivated and talented, with a lot of talented people and a lot of powerful people. Every time it came to the Elementary Scholar examination, the competition would be extremely intense. At that time, there would be close to a hundred thousand students from the different regions of Ling''an City participating in the assessment.


    If Di Chen also mastered his calligraphy well, with the knowledge he had now, he was confident that he would be able to get one of the top ten Elementary Scholars. At that time, his status would skyrocket and he would no longer have to endure the cold in the wood house that was full of wind.


    With the Thousand Autumn Dynasty''s strength, even an Elementary Scholar was not someone to be trifled with.


    "But my calligraphy isn''t good enough. I''m sure I won''t be able to get into the top ten. What should I do?" Di Chen''s brows furrowed into the shape of a square, showing his worry.


    "If I could learn martial arts, then it wouldn''t be so troublesome. I could just directly take the martial arts exam."


    Di Chen sighed.


    A martial cultivator had a powerful body. They would soar into the sky and flee into the ground. With a wave of their sleeves, the heaven collapsed and the earth caved in, and they would steal another''s life.


    These scholars were far from comparable to the weak ones.


    However, Di Chen had read a rumor in a ancient book. It was recorded that there existed an extremely powerful scholar in the world who was able to read and become a saint.


    This rumor made Di Chen yearn for it, but this rumor was too far away and he had no way to verify it.


    Di Chen wasn''t sure whether or not reading would make one a saint, but even after all these years of studying, he still didn''t have that kind of feeling.


    "Seventh Young Master, I''ve finally found you."


    He turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw a silver white haired old man running towards him. With a head full of sweat and an anxious expression, he moved extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of him.


    "Uncle Qiu, why have you come?"


    Di Chen supported the old man who was gasping for breath, who almost fell down, asked doubtfully. This old man was Uncle Qiu, who served him and dressed well. Ever since his parents had mysteriously disappeared, only this old man in the entire Di Family considered him to be the son of the Di Family.


    "Seventh Young Master, something terrible has happened. Duo''er is dead."


    "What? Duo''er is dead?"


    Di Chen''s head trembled, his face was full of disbelief, didn''t he see that she was still alive and kicking yesterday?


    Shuang''er was one of the servant girls that served Di Chen in the past. She had a meticulous care and concern for Di Chen, and she was as close as a neighboring older sister. It was just that some of the Di Clan''s people who held great power had been transferred to his big cousin Di Long''s side to work.


    "Uncle Qiu, how did Bian''er die?" Di Chen asked in a trembling voice, his heart in pain.


    "It''s the eldest young master."


    Uncle Qiu''s eyes turned blood-red. He gritted his teeth and said, "Eldest Young Master''s lust is well-known, but I didn''t expect that he, with his many wives and concubines, would actually do something as vile as rape. After being raped by him, Duo''er fell into a trance and committed suicide by taking poison. "


    "What, Di Long, you bastard, you will die a horrible death." Di Chen roared in anger, causing the surrounding people to be alarmed, they all looked over at him.


    "Uncle Qiu, let''s return to the estate."


    Di Chen ignored the gazes of the surrounding people, shouted at Uncle Qiu, and ran towards the Di Residence.


    "Seventh Young Master, don''t be rash. We can''t beat Eldest Young Master!"


    Uncle Qiu followed behind Di Chen. When he saw Di Chen leaving in a hurry, he became anxious and could not help but regret telling Di Chen about the matter so abruptly.


    The tall buildings circled around and occupied the center of Ling''an City, towering into the clouds.


    The Di Family was divided into the east, south, west, north, and middle five pavilions.


    The old man became more and more agitated as he spoke, even tears began to fall from his eyes.


    Hearing that, Di Chen stopped in his tracks, he remained silent for a long time, then turned and spoke to the old man: "Uncle Qiu, don''t worry! I won''t be impulsive, I''m just going to Di Long''s place to see if I can bring Gemini''s body back to us for burial. "

 C2

    When he said these words, Di Chen''s heart was filled with regret, as if all of his energy had been sucked out of his body, and he was filled with bitterness and helplessness.


    "Seventh Young Master, Duo''er''s body is currently in the woodshed where we live. I was just going to come back and see if it was okay to bury Twin there. "


    Uncle Qiu said, as if he was relieved.


    "Why didn''t you say so earlier?"


    Di Chen looked at Uncle Qiu, his expression somewhat blaming, and said irritably: "Let''s go back to the firewood house now, and find a place to bury Gou''er''s body properly."


    Right after he finished speaking, Di Chen immediately turned and walked towards the west pavilion''s firewood house. His footsteps were trembling, and his figure seemed very lonely.


    Uncle Qiu followed behind with a worried expression. On the way, the two of them did not speak again, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.


    The spiritual energy was sparse, and the people who lived in it were sparse. The area around the woodshed that Di Chen lived in was also overgrown with weeds, which was extremely strange and desolate, and belonged to a remote corner. It was something that his first uncle had specially ordered someone to build for him here.


    After half an hour of fast walking, Di Chen and Yue Yang finally reached the wood house that they were staying in.


    "Di Long, Lin Tao, Jiang Hua... Why are you guys here? "


    The fact that there were so many people at the door of the firewood house shocked Di Chen greatly.


    "Di Chen, you''re finally back! You animal, you actually raped my two servant girls, and even poisoned her to death. Great! He has an elegant demeanor, but he''s actually a genuine beast. "


    Dozens of young people dressed in long robes stood orderly at the door of the firewood house that Di Chen resided in.


    One of the slightly older youth was actually Di Chen''s older cousin, Di Long. It was he who had shouted and cursed at Di Chen.


    "Di Chen, I never thought that you would be so inhumane that you would even kill a servant girl. As the son of a law enforcement elder, I will order someone to put you in death row and await for my father to judge you for your crimes according to the clan rules."


    "Yes, such a heartless person must be put to death to serve as an example."


    "A prince who offends the law and commits crimes similar to that of a commoner. Even if he was the son of the chief, he still had to be executed."


    The few young people glared at Di Chen as they scolded him.


    "Di Long, you beast with the face of a human, you have raped and tainted such a good girl like Shuang''er. In the end, Shuang''er''s mental breakdown, took the poison and committed suicide, and you still have the face to slander me."


    Di Chen was burning with rage, his eyes completely red. He never thought that Di Long would be so shameless and despicable, calling him a thief and slandering him instead.


    "Eldest Young Master, Young Masters, Seventh Young Master just came back from the streets and hasn''t done anything yet!"


    Uncle Qiu''s expression was anxious, as he tried to defend Di Chen.


    Di Long looked up with his nose in the air, he had an overbearing aura, he snorted coldly and cursed: "How did that Shuang''er die in his room, with no clothes covering his body, and his entire body covered with wounds, not a single piece of good meat?"


    The Law Enforcement Elder''s son, Lin Tao, carried his father''s righteous character and hated criminals even more. Hearing that someone spoke up for Di Chen, the killing pervert, he became even more furious and spoke to the guard youth beside him: "Silver Fox, go into the woodshed and wrap Twin a quilt the corpse of Twin Little Girl. Then, give it to my father as evidence and tell him to punish this pervert severely."


    "Yes, young master." The Silver Fox guards cupped their hands and entered the woodshed in a flash.


    "You''re not allowed to touch Duo''er''s body."


    Just then, Di Chen roared out and rushed towards the woodshed, Di Chen was furious, he did not expect that after Bian Er died, these people would not even let their bodies be buried safely.


    "Hmph, you want to be a pervert and act like one. I can''t forgive you."


    Di Long laughed coldly again and again, stepped forward and threw a punch at Di Chen.


    "Pfft!"


    Di Chen was struck, this one hundred kilogram punch, made Di Chen''s entire body fly out like a kite with its string cut. He crashed into an old pine tree, and blood sprayed out, he had suffered a very heavy injury.


    Di Long took action and sent Di Chen flying, his speed was extremely fast, and when the few of them managed to react, they only saw Di Chen lying on the ground, spitting blood.


    "Seventh Young Master, are you alright?"


    Uncle Qiu trembled all over, and anxiously ran over to help Di Chen up. Although he was an ordinary person, but he was old and knowledgeable, and knew the difference between a normal person and a Level 6 Warrior.


    Most Level Four Warriors had already possessed a strength of more than ten kilograms. Under one punch, the raging wind would howl, split the mountains and split the rocks, shake the seas, and it would not even be a problem if they were to break through the mountains. Not to mention the fact that Di Long, a Level 6 Warrior, was trying his best to punch Di Chen''s frail body, so that even if Di Chen did not die, he would at least be able to finish half his life.


    Di Chen was severely injured, and he could not stop coughing out blood. His fingers could not even move.


    "Eldest Young Master, it doesn''t seem appropriate for you to attack your younger cousin on your own."


    Lin Tao frowned slightly as he questioned with a slightly changed expression.


    Glimmers danced in Di Long''s eyes as he said coldly, "Scum like him only knows how to discredit my Di Family when he''s alive. I want to kill him to avenge my servant girl."


    Right after he finished speaking, the aura from Di Long''s body started to churn, and once again rushed forward, wanting to kill Di Chen.


    Di Long''s aura surged, he was mighty and domineering, the people beside him all felt as though a gigantic mountain was crushing down on them, wanting to suffocate them to death.


    A youth cried out in alarm with an expression of disbelief.


    "Oh my god!" Di Long had only levelled up to level 6 in only two months! "He''s already leveled up and became a Level 7 Warrior! He''s only twenty years old!"


    An elder''s son repeatedly praised. The youths had no choice but to nod in agreement.


    A seventh level martial artist had released his origin energy and was able to execute the Hundred Step Divine Punch empty-handed. He was also able to attack through the air and was extremely powerful.


    Amongst the younger generation of the Di Family, the only one who could suppress him in terms of martial arts cultivation was the number one genius of the Di Family, the fourth young master, Di Hui. Now, with Di Long, he felt very uncomfortable.


    "Eldest Young Master, you can''t kill him. If you kill him, you will also be severely punished by the clan rules. He made a mistake and has the Law Enforcement Hall to judge him. You won''t be able to do anything."


    Lin Tao snorted coldly as he blocked in front of Di Chen. Although he also hated Di Chen, as the son of a law enforcement elder, he still had a certain understanding of the Di Clan''s rules.


    Di Long roared again and again, his voice sounding like thunder, "Could it be that this kind of scum, the poisonous tumor of the clan, should not be killed?"


    "Even if you want to kill me, it''s not your turn to do so."


    Lin Tao had a cold expression on his face as he faced Zhang Xuan tit for tat. There wasn''t the slightest intention of him backing down.


    "Lin Tao, why are you protecting this perverted murderer? Let the young master just kill him. "


    His name was Jiang Hua, and his father, Jiang Shui, was one of the top elderlies in the Di Family. He held a high position in the family, so he relied on his father''s authority, and he was also a good martial arts genius. Among the younger generation of the Di Family, Jiang Hua had a very important position.


    As Jiang Hua''s voice rang out, the other youths also started to try persuading him.


    "Humph, aside from the life and death arena, clan rules forbid people from killing each other. Don''t forget."


    Jiang Hua and his team''s actions made Lin Tao''s face turn ugly, and he was at a disadvantage in his speech.


    "Good!" "You''re not going away, are you? Then I''ll teach you a lesson for your father."


    Lin Tao''s persistence made Di Long''s heart burn, he was flustered and exasperated, every time he did something wrong, he would find a scapegoat for death, and this was no exception. Otherwise, the people of the tribe would know that with the crimes he committed, the clan rules could execute him tens of thousands of times.


    Di Long''s eyes flashed with a bloody light, he waved his fist up, wanting to send Lin Tao flying. He wanted to quickly kill Di Chen and push all the crimes onto Di Chen. was just a trash, if he were to borrow this crime to kill, no one would blame him.


    "Di Long, you dare ¡­"


    Lin Tao''s voice came out loud, he did not expect Di Long to dare make a move on him, so he instantly used all the martial skills he had learned, and stepped out, blocking Di Long''s attack.


    Martial Skills were the methods a martial artist used to increase their attack power through their zhenqi. Low level martial skills could increase one''s combat prowess by several folds, and high level martial skills could increase their combat strength by ten, dozens, or even a hundred times more. It could even be thousands or tens of thousands of times more.


    The reason why Lin Tao had used martial skills from the very beginning was because he was only a sixth stage martial artist while Di Long was a seventh stage martial artist. Even though there was only a difference of one stage between the two, in essence, there was an unsurpassable heavenly bridge.


    "Stop."


    Just as their fists were about to collide, an authoritative voice boomed from beyond the heavens.


    This voice was accompanied by the power to push back attacks, forcing the two of them to retreat more than ten steps. Even those who were not participating in the battle felt a surge of shock in their hearts, as they were heavily affected.


    The corners of the youths'' eyes squinted as they looked towards the source of the voice. They only saw two figures leaping over from the sky. In an instant, he was in front of them.


    The two people who came were two old men with the bearing of sages, one was fat while the other was thin. It was the current clan leader of the Di Clan, Di Dao, and the law enforcement elder, Lin Ming.


    "Who told me what is going on? Why are they fighting?"


    Lin Ming looked at the few of them and asked loudly.


    "Father, you''ve come out of seclusion ¡­"


    Lin Tao''s face slightly changed, and anxiously explained everything that had happened here along with everything that had happened to Lin Ming.


    "This wasn''t done by Seventh Young Master, he didn''t know about it at all. It was my old man who did it. I poisoned Miss Shuang''er with sleeping grass and then raped her and killed her."


    Just as Lin Tao was about to explain the situation, Uncle Qiu''s voice sounded.


    "Scum, die!"


    "Uncle Qiu ¡­"


    Di Chen''s entire body was in great pain, but he was still coughing up blood. He watched helplessly as Uncle Qiu, who had been taking care of him since he was young, was killed by his uncle, and was completely unable to do anything about it.

 C3

    In just one day, the only two people in the Di family who were good to him had died because of humiliation and grievances. Di Chen hated himself for not being able to protect them even though he was their master. He hated these people for overturning right and wrong, for not being able to differentiate between black and white and causing Gemini to not only die from humiliation and mental collapse, but also Uncle Qiu to be killed in order to protect him.


    "Clan leader, it doesn''t seem right to kill him before the matter is clear. According to the clan rules, it shouldn''t be right to kill him. If the elders knew, I''m afraid ¡­"


    Di Dao was somewhat angry by Di Dao''s actions, and asked with a cold expression. Then, without waiting for Di Dao''s reply, he walked over to Di Chen''s side and checked his body condition.


    "This old man is inhumane, killing innocent girls and throwing my Di Family''s face away. As the head of the family, if I spare his life, how am I going to explain this to the Di Family?"


    Di Dao''s face turned cold. If it wasn''t for protecting his son, how could he possibly be so angry and do such a disgraceful thing?


    Lin Ming used his divine sense to inspect Di Chen''s body. His expression changed greatly as he roared at Di Long: "Di Long, you crippled a member of the same clan and ended up seriously injuring them and breaking all their meridians. Tomorrow, you can go to the Discipline Hall to receive punishment from the clan rules. As for Lin Tao and the rest, they disregarded right and wrong. Before they could investigate the truth of the matter, they added fuel to the fire to help the evil and tyrannize the situation. In the end, they ended up inflicting grievous injuries on the innocent ¡­


    Injuries, that''s why they are punished according to the clan rules. "


    "Elder Lin, isn''t this matter clear now? "Why do you need to cause such a ruckus?" Di Dao said indifferently as his expression returned to normal.


    "Hmph, Di Dao, I respect you as the master of the family, but what have you done after I went into closed door cultivation for all these years? You think it''s fun to keep bullying a kid who''s a few years old? "Don''t forget, you don''t even have the keepsake of the chief. If you are the chief, then you are the chief. If I don''t respect you, the chief, you are nothing in my eyes. Not even fart."


    Lin Ming said expressionlessly, and after he finished speaking, he coldly swept his eyes across all the youths present. Without waiting for anyone to reply, he directly picked up Di Chen and soared into the sky. He knew that there was no use in staying here, and he had no power to change the matter before him.


    Looking at Lin Ming''s disappearing figure, Di Dao laughed coldly to himself: "Lin Ming, I''ll let you act arrogantly for now, but you''ll definitely die at my hands one day."


    ''s face was gloomy, the fact that he could not obtain the Patriarch''s keepsake had always been the pain in his heart.


    After Lin Ming left, all the youths also bid their farewells, and not long later, only Di Dao and his son remained.


    "Father, why is this old thing so strange when he came out of seclusion at this time?"


    Di Long looked at Di Dao, and asked puzzledly.


    "Hmph, you bastard. You only know how to do such foolish things." Di Dao glared fiercely at Di Long, and shouted somewhat resentfully. "You can go to the Punishment Hall tomorrow to receive your punishment. Don''t think about it before the Family Competition, you should just stay there and reflect on it."


    After Di Dao finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left in a huff.


    "Damn, isn''t it still inheriting your genes?"


    Di Long secretly sneered, and then turned and left.


    "Crack!"


    The clouds in the sky gathered together to form a black dragon. It spanned across the sky like a black pot, enveloping the entire earth.


    Thunder rumbled, and a streak of lightning tore through the sky as it descended. It was like a golden snake had its head held high, roaming for thousands of miles, instantly illuminating the pitch-black sky.


    Black clouds covered the city. The night wind blew, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. A fierce gale and heavy rain were about to arrive.


    A piece of news that was even more explosive and intense than this torrential storm, covered the entire Ling''an City''s streets and alleys and flooded them like floodwaters.


    The Di Family, which was one of the three great martial cultivation families in Ling''an City, had such a scum, and he was a direct descendant at that. What made everyone''s eyes fall on their eyes was that this direct descendant was the son of the former Clan Chief of the Di Family, Di Shan. They were waiting for the dozen or so prominent young geniuses of the Di Residence to bump into them.


    The First Young Master Di Long wanted to exterminate his relatives, the law enforcement clan elder relied on his own authority, his force was strong, and privately protected the sinful Di Chen, taking care of the loyal old servant, so as to stop the culprit Di Chen from committing a heinous crime, he was killed due to anger by the patriarch of the Di clan, Di Dao.


    One piece of news after another spread like a fiery field, burning hotter and hotter than the last, causing the entire Ling''an City to be in full swing.


    Suddenly, Di Chen''s notoriety spread far and wide, shocking the entire Ling''an City.


    Lin Residence!


    Located in the Di Family pavilion, there was a green mountain and a river. The spiritual energy was dense and it was the residence of the law enforcement clan elder, Lin Ming.


    "Pa, pa ¡­"


    At this moment, roars like thunder resounded in the courtyard of the Lin Residence. Lin Ming''s anger exploded, and the tea table on the table shattered into pieces. He looked coldly at Lin Tao who was in front of him and roared loudly: "Your stupid brain has done such a good thing, now that the news has spread, what kind of person do you want the junior clan leader to be in the future? "If I had been even a little bit late yesterday, then the junior clan leader would have been killed for nothing by you."


    Lin Ming was very angry. He really did not think that so many things would happen because of him cultivating in seclusion for a few years.


    "Father, Tao''er knows her mistake."


    After two days of investigation, he knew that he was tricked like a gun yesterday. Adding the news that was spreading crazily outside, Lin Tao felt that he was very sorry for Di Chen.


    "What''s the use of knowing your mistake now, what did you do long ago?"


    The veins on Lin Ming''s forehead stood on end as he furiously glared at Lin Tao and coldly roared, "You want to make me, Lin Ming, an unparalleled divine might, give birth to a rotten wood''s head as a son? It''s such an obvious matter, yet you don''t even need to think about it too much before coming to a conclusion. "


    "Forget it, you should go back to your room to cultivate!"


    Lin Ming sighed, waved his hand, and said: "In two months time, it will be the Family Competition. At that time, if we can win, there might be some unexpected benefits."


    "Father, what about Di Chen? Are we just going to endure this? It doesn''t matter if Di Long plotted against me, but I never thought that he would dare to discredit even you, father, right now, truly shameless to the extreme. "


    Lin Tao''s cold aura burned with passion, as if he was about to spit fire. He was truly angry, because the rumors outside did not target Di Chen directly, and even affected his father''s reputation.


    "Let''s talk about this later. You can go and cultivate."


    Lin Ming said softly, after that he closed his eyes and started to recuperate, just like when he was trying to open Di Chen''s meridian, he had used up a lot of his True Essence and Qi.


    "Then father, rest well. Your son will take his leave."


    He knew his father''s character. If it was something he didn''t want to say, he wouldn''t be able to find an answer no matter how much he asked. However, Lin Tao believed that his father had already made a decision on this matter.


    The sky was crying and the ground was shaking.


    The heavy rain kept pouring down, as if it was going to drown the world in darkness.


    In a house, Di Chen sat in front of a window and looked out at the torrential downpour. He had already woken up a few times, his mind was still in a trance, and his heart was in pain. Uncle Chang''s silver strands of white hair and the happy looks of the two children''s voices kept echoing in his mind, as if they were mocking his incompetence.


    Rustle ¡­


    Di Chen was startled awake, and raised his head to look, but seeing that Lin Ming had come over so late, he was a little surprised. He immediately stood up and cupped his hands together in thanks: "Thank you for saving my life, Clan Elder Lin, I, Di Chen can''t thank you enough."


    "You''re welcome." Lin Ming waved his hand and said, "It''s enough as long as Young Patriarch wakes up."


    Lin Ming sighed in his heart. This youth had too many rough experiences in growing up, the heavens were very cruel, causing his young parents to disappear. At such a young age, he was constantly bullied by everyone for seven or eight years.


    However, living in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, there were too many injustices and grievances ¡­ Therefore, Lin Ming did not know what to say to comfort his.


    "Elder Lin, yesterday, when you brought me back from this heavily injured state, did you see a brush on me?" I want to practice calligraphy. "


    Di Chen looked at Lin Ming and asked hopefully.


    "You''re talking about this old brush, right?"


    Lin Ming took out an ancient brush from his sleeve and handed it over to Di Chen, saying: "Last night, when I was treating your injuries, I saw this thing placed it on your chest, I was afraid it would make your chest uncomfortable so I took it out."


    Di Chen took the brush, and upon seeing that it was he who went to the Immortal Wen Pavilion to buy the old brush, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Lin Ming: "Elder Lin, do you have any kind of white paper for practice? I want to practice calligraphy. "


    After Lin Ming heard this, he asked wrongly: "It''s already the middle of the night, and you still want to practice writing, Young Patriarch?"


    "Elder Lin, you don''t need to call me Young Patriarch from now on. Ever since my father went missing and I couldn''t train in martial arts, I am no longer a Young Patriarch."


    Di Chen''s face stiffened, and laughed with difficulty: "Anyways, my mind is in a mess, I can''t fall asleep, so I want to practice my writing, in a month''s time, I will take the Elementary Scholar examination, and seize the time to practice my calligraphy, in the future when I become an Elementary Scholar, it would be better for me to become an official in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty!"


    "Good ambition!" "Come with me and practice in my study."


    Lin Ming praised and nodded, letting Di Chen follow him. However, he kept sighing in his heart, if this child could cultivate the martial way, forget about his Inherent skill, just by his persistence alone, his achievements would not be too bad.


    Before long, Lin Ming brought Di Chen to a study room. This was not a spacious study room. A few bookshelves were filled with books and they were arranged in an orderly manner.


    Lin Ming introduced the various situations in the study to Di Chen while walking, and in a moment they were beside the desk.


    "This place is very good!"


    "A mere military man cannot compare himself with you scholars! You can practice your calligraphy here! If you''re tired, go back to that room and rest. From now on, you''ll be living in my courtyard! "Don''t go back to your woodshed."


    Lin Ming said, after that he walked over to the desk and used his Innate True Origin to melt the ink into water, then he instructed Di Chen to pay attention to some of the details before leaving.


    After Lin Ming left, Di Chen ran over to the table and grabbed the golden brush, but when he suddenly saw that the hand was still holding onto the brush that he bought from the Immortal Wen Pavilion, his heart started to ache. He remembered that the money needed to buy the brush was from Uncle Qiu, who had a worried expression on his face at that time, as if he could not even spend a single cent of his money.


    Thinking about that, Di Chen''s mind was in a mess, he had harmed Uncle Qiu and himself for going through so much pain and suffering. But now, it caused him to lose his life and was unable to repay him for the rest of his life.


    Di Chen arranged the paper, wiped the brush on the ink, and started to write.


    Leaning on the wind, they could not help but have a blood feud. He could only lower his head as he gazed gloomily at the horizon.

 C4

    Di Chen''s eyes burned with a cold light, filled with hatred. He gritted his teeth to write out his current state of mind, he could not take revenge, and could only lower his head. He wrote it over and over, and when he was done he threw it on the floor. It went on and on until he got to the last piece of paper.


    The rain outside was getting heavier. After writing the last piece of paper, Di Chen picked up his pen and looked at the words on the paper on the table that had been written a few hundred to thousand times without changing anything.


    Di Chen''s eyes dimmed, and despair filled his heart.


    Since the age of four, Di Chen had been reading and writing non-stop. But so many years had passed, and even now, the words he had written were still unbearable to look at. Even he himself could not understand them. This made him really not know what to do.


    "If I don''t master the calligraphy well, I won''t be able to become an Elementary Scholar, and I won''t be able to become an official in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty. "If that''s the case, I won''t be able to avenge Shuang-er and Uncle Qiu. They died so miserably, and if I don''t sacrifice their blood in my lifetime, they won''t be able to rest in peace?"


    As he thought of this, Di Chen''s eyes became moist, and even his tears flowed down, as he clenched his brush tightly.


    "Haha ¡­" Brat, even if you manage to become an Elementary Scholar, a weak scholar like you won''t be able to take revenge. A martial artist''s punch can take your life, and yet you want to use your studies to take revenge? "


    At this time, an extremely arrogant voice echoed within the study room, causing Di Chen to jump in fright. He abruptly said: "Who are you, a thing that hides the head and reveals the tail, presumably is also not a good thing."


    "Hehe, who am I, who am I ¡­ I am a great scholar and a great sage! "


    The artifact opened its mouth again, and Di Chen saw the brush in his hand flash with a blood red light, following that, a shadow floated out, and appeared in front of Di Chen.


    Upon closer inspection, it was the figure of a middle-aged man. He was tall and muscular, wearing a gray robe and a white cap.


    "You, you, you, you ¡­ Who are you? "Why did you run out of the brush?"


    "Body of Astronomy!" I''ve finally found you. "


    The middle-aged man did not answer Di Chen''s question, nor did he say any arrogant words like he did just now. Instead, he turned into a ray of light and shot into the center of Di Tian''s brows.


    "Weng, weng, weng ¡­"


    A feeling of heaven turning and earth spinning came assaulting him. Di Chen felt a heart-wrenching pain in his head; he could feel a lot of information surging into his mind like a torrent of ferocious beasts, trying to squeeze out his brain.


    "It hurts!"


    Di Chen bled from all seven orifices as he roared and rolled on the ground while hugging his head. No matter how ambitious he was, he could not help but faint on the spot.


    "Di Chen, Di Chen, wake up, wake up ¡­"


    Vaguely, Di Chen felt someone calling him. He opened his heavy eyelids and shouted: "Where am I?"


    Suddenly, Di Chen felt another wave of dizziness, Di Chen could not help but close his eyes again.


    "Tian Shi is a great scholar! "Reading books to become a saint, cultivating the scripture of the heavens, generating the power of speech within one''s body, transforming words into mantras, changing words into Yin and Yang, changing words into the five elements, words into true gold, words into words into words, words into words; words into words; words into words; words into words; words into words; words into words; words into words into words; words into words into words into words; words into words into words into words into words ¡ª ¡ª ¡ª ¡ª ¡ª


    "Oh my god!" I can''t believe that I have obtained the inheritance imprint of the great literary saint from the ancient times! "


    The information in his mind made Di Chen restless. He never thought that there would actually be a legendary Wen Sheng, and one that was so strong at that.


    Tian Shi was the strongest person in that era, but he had a powerful physique that cultivated the scripture, offended the heavens, and was barely able to survive being struck by the ten heavenly tribulations. However, he was besieged by the forces of the martial path, and in the moment of his death, he left his life imprint in his spirit artifact to escape, to be left with a fated person, those who did not have the astral body would not be able to obtain the inheritance.


    And he, Di Chen, just so happened to be someone with an astronomical body.


    The thunderstorm of that day had passed, and what greeted them was the rare sun of winter.


    On this day, the warm sunlight shone down from the blue sky, illuminating the entire world.


    The Di Family''s residence!


    In one of the guest rooms, Di Chen woke up. After opening his eyes, he still felt like he was in a dream.


    "Di Chen, what''s wrong with you these two days? You''ve been unconscious, and your entire body is sweating, but no matter how we call you, you still won''t be able to wake up. Father has already gone to get a doctor for you. "


    Lin Tao, who had always been beside the bed, immediately exclaimed in joy when he saw Di Chen wake up.


    After Di Chen heard this, he then realised that there was someone at the side. He turned his head and saw Lin Tao, he was surprised and exclaimed: "It''s you!"


    "That''s right!" It''s me. "You won''t blame me for that day ¡­"


    "You''re thinking too much!" If not for you, I would have already been killed by Di Long that day, and wouldn''t have even waited for your father to arrive, so you and your father are both my saviors.


    Di Chen''s eyes flashed as he interrupted Lin Tao''s words. In fact, he really couldn''t blame Lin Tao at all.


    "That''s good!"


    Lin Tao heaved a sigh of relief, he was truly afraid that Di Chen would not forgive him for his mistake, after all, he had almost caused Di Chen to die because of his misjudgement. It was only natural for Di Chen to hate him.


    "Don''t worry!" "The past is the past."


    Di Chen stood up, patted Lin Tao''s shoulders, and laughed: "I''ll be going back to my room first, help me say hello to your father!"


    Di Chen left and straightforwardly walked out of the Lin Residence''s courtyard.


    Lin Tao did not stop him, because Di Chen''s body was releasing a smell that made his heart want to puke, causing him to not have the mood to speak anymore.


    After Di Chen left the courtyard of the Lin Residence, he did not directly return to the west pavilion where he lived in. Instead, he walked towards the lake at the back of the Di Residence.


    Those who saw Di Chen all stayed far away from him, discussing amongst themselves while whispering to each other.


    "Look, isn''t that the trash of a young master? I never thought that a person with such a handsome appearance, but with a human face and a beast heart, would actually dare to do such an outrageous thing like raping and murdering a servant girl, what a beast! "


    "Isn''t it? "That Law Enforcing Elder is truly excessive. Relying on his position and power, he actually protected such a heartless person. No, he should be called an animal."


    "Hmm, this kind of human is worse than animals. We should chop him into ten thousand pieces and throw him into the sea to feed the fishes!"


    Di Chen heard the words of the servants and maids without changing a single word. The crimson red in his eyes burned brightly, as if he was about to turn into two scorching suns and burn the world.


    After Di Chen obtained the Ancient Wen Sheng Insignia, the power of words and words had tempered his body. Now that his spirit sense had been opened and his thinking had grown exponentially, he understood what was going on after a brief moment of thought.


    Di Chen gnashed his teeth as his eyes turned ice-cold. He never thought that Di Long and his son would be shameless to such an extent, not only did they frame him, push such a shameless matter onto him, they even dragged Elder Lin Ming into it.


    "Di Long, Di Dao, there will be a day when I will make both of you pay with your blood."


    Di Chen sneered repeatedly in his heart, and ignored the servants, directly running towards the back of the mountain and the lake. He really couldn''t take it anymore, the smell on his body was not only unpleasant, it was also extremely itchy, and was extremely tragic.


    The lake at the back of the Di family''s mountain was a waterfall that meandered like a dragon or a tiger. It poured down from a few huge mountains that connected the sky and the ground, forming a huge lake. The lake seemed to have a vast ocean at the top of the peaks, and the water never stopped flowing while the lake was a bottomless pit that couldn''t be filled no matter how hard it was.


    The lake water was clear and blue, warm as jade, and spring-like in every season.


    This lake was one of the weirdest places in the Di Family, but very few people would come here to swim. This was because most warriors had a body cleansing technique that could wash away the dirt on their bodies.


    Di Chen came to the lake to check, and looked at the steam rising from the lake, his heart feeling extremely comfortable. In the past, he would often come to the lake to take a bath, and he was no longer unfamiliar with it.


    "BOOM!"


    Di Chen jumped into the middle of the lake, skimming over the lake and causing it to fly in all directions, like fireworks descending from the sky. It lasted for a short while, and then it dissipated, and the lake surface regained its tranquility, and Di Chen also disappeared without a trace.


    "So cool!"


    The water in the center of the lake surged and a head surfaced on the water. It was Di Chen. He continued to wander in the water. After a while, he arrived at the center of the lake. This surprised him.


    "Hou, hou ¡­"


    Suddenly, two roars of wild beasts came out from the water, surprising Di Chen and made him want to swim to the shore.


    Wild beasts were the same as warriors, they absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to refine their bodies, causing their bodies to change and evolve, becoming demonic beast s with immense strength. It was the same as warriors, divided into levels based on strength.


    Early stage wild beasts were divided into ten stages, which corresponded to the level of the warriors. The first stage was the weakest, while the tenth stage was the strongest.


    "Sizzle..."


    The lake water gushed and surged, wave after wave swept up into the sky, and in that moment, a gigantic figure leapt into the air, covering the entire sky and covering the sun, and rushed towards Di Chen.


    The sky suddenly darkened and an extremely dangerous aura assaulted them. Di Chen''s face suddenly changed, revealing a look of panic, he raised his head and looked into the sky, and immediately exclaimed: "Not good, it''s a Sea Eagle!"


    "How could I be so unlucky?"


    Di Chen was so scared that he could not choose his own path. He moved his hands and continuously jumped around, trying to dodge the sea eagle''s pounce.


    However, that sense of danger continued to follow him like a shadow, and it became heavier and heavier. The black shadow covered the entire sky and everything became pitch-black, as if there was an ice cave in the abyss.


    Di Chen''s face turned pale white, his body trembled, and even his movements were hindered.


    The boundless aura surged and crushed down, causing Di Chen to be unable to keep his eyes open, and he fell into a state of despair.


    "Freeze!"


    Just then, an extremely unreconciled thought surfaced in Di Chen''s mind, his mind lit up, and the word "fix" floated out, releasing a white rainbow light, locking the small lake in place.


    According to the legends, the Heavenly Text Scripture was like a wordless heavenly book, and there was no order to describe it. Instead, it read cultivators'' continuous cultivation and comprehension of the meaning of the characters, and even formed a word formation to attack the enemy.


    It was in this life or death situation that Di Chen figured out the meaning of the word "fix". This "fix" contained everything, and had the ability to imprison organisms within it. That was why Di Chen was able to escape.


    "Puff puff ¡­"


    The thumping sound filled the air, Di Chen looked at the Sea Hawk that was still floating in the air, his heart was still beating very quickly, he extended his hand, and started to revolve the power of the words in his body to converge at the center of the Sea Hawk''s forehead.

 C5

    Clang!


    A muffled sound rang out as the beast blood splattered. It splattered into the lake, dyeing the lake water red. A dark and terrifying bloody hole appeared between the Sea Hawk''s eyebrows. It completely lost all of its life force and fell from the sky above the lake, splashing the lake water until it turned into ripples and tumbled down.


    Di Chen was glad that he had the foresight to kill the Sea Eagle and swim around. Otherwise, the Sea Eagle would definitely fall and hit him.


    "Boom ¡­"


    Rank 6 beasts had already condensed into a demon core within their body, so all of their vital energy was concentrated onto the demon core. This kind of demon core was a dream of a warrior, if a Rank 5 warrior could obtain the demon core of a Rank 6 beast, it was possible that once the energy from the demon core was refined and assimilated into their body, it would give them a boost and allow them to step into the ranks of Rank 6 warriors.


    Forget about the value of demon cores, just talking about the Sea Eagle Beast Skin being worth a lot of money in the marketplace, Di Chen would definitely not give up on the fat meat he had.


    Due to the oppression from afar and the buoyant strength from the water, although the whole body of the Sea Eagle was enormous, it did not have the slightest weight. With Di Chen''s burst of potential and tensed mind, he very quickly dragged the Sea Eagle to the shore.


    "Phew ¡­"


    As soon as he landed, Di Chen fell to the ground and panted heavily, as if he was extremely tired. But he didn''t dare relax. He got up and dragged the falcon far away from the shore before he stopped.


    "I''m rich!"


    Looking at the shining body of the Sea Eagle on the ground, Di Chen was very excited. The Sea Eagle was huge, almost six feet tall.


    "Rank 7 wild beast, Sea Eagle King! "Such powerful Qi and blood, it should be enough for this old man to recover half of his strength."


    While Di Chen was still in the midst of excitement, an old and hoarse voice came from underground. "Get the hell out here."


    Di Chen''s voice rumbled, but that ancient and hoarse voice of his was no longer heard.


    However, the more it acted this way, the more Di Chen felt uneasy. His world view of thinking, which was inherited by the Ancient Literary Saint, underwent a tremendous change, but he was still unable to completely adapt to what he had acquired. He was still maintaining the state of a small fry being oppressed by his clan members.


    For example, if a person went out to buy a lottery ticket and suddenly won a super big prize and received a huge sum of money, he would not know how to spend the money.


    "Chi ¡­"


    The body of the Sea Eagle that was on the ground suddenly rotated and continuously curled up, emitting a dense Qi. Then, it directly transformed into air and evaporated in front of Di Chen''s eyes.


    "What?" it instantly refined the entire ocean eagle into Profound Qi. Could it be an expert from Lifestealer Realm? "


    Level 10 was the basic period of cultivation. Stepping onto the martial artists'' stairs, one would reach the Lifestealer Realm Realm, stealing life from the heaven and earth, and increasing one''s lifespan.


    A practitioner of Lifestealer Realm could fly into the sky and flee to the ground, killing without a trace with a wave of their sleeves. Di Chen''s eldest uncle, Di Dao, and the Law Enforcement Elder, Lin Ming, were experts in Lifestealer Realm. As for what stage they were fighting to their deaths, Di Chen did not know.


    Thinking about it, Di Chen''s face changed. He wanted to choose a path to escape, but the hoarse voice sounded again.


    "Young man, you are a child of the Di family. I am the Ancestor of the Di family, Di Tian. I won''t harm you."


    The hoarse voice carried a bit of pain, but it resounded in Di Chen''s ears like a clap of thunder, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.


    "Young man, what are you thinking about?"


    That voice had not heard Di Chen''s reply for a long time, so he asked again.


    Di Chen''s expression changed again and again as he tried to ask, "Does Senior Di Tian have four sons?


    "How do you know all this? Is Chen''er well? " The voice asked anxiously, its tone full of excitement.


    "Are you really Di Tian, Di Chen''s grandfather?"


    When he was six years old, his parents had mysteriously disappeared, and his grandfather had left behind a letter saying that he wanted to go out and search for them. After that, he had never seen his own grandfather again, and in the past few years, Di Chen had always been thinking about his grandfather, hoping that his grandfather would return as soon as possible.


    "Grandfather, where are you? It''s Chen''er, I missed you so much."


    Di Chen''s face turned sad. Tears fell from his eyes as he looked around, searching for Di Tian''s figure.


    "Chen''er, you are Chen''er, you are my Chen''er."


    The ancient voice stirred, wave after wave of majestic surging aura surged out from the ground, causing the ground to shake violently. After a while, the few piles of rocks on the mountain in front of Di Chen shifted and moved, lined up on both sides, and the smoke enveloped the entire area, making it impossible to see what it was.


    When the smoke dissipated, a four-sided pagoda appeared in front of Di Chen. In the middle of the pagoda was a white-haired old man with disheveled hair who looked extremely haggard and aged, but Di Chen could still tell at a glance that it was his grandfather, Di Tian.


    "Grandfather, why are you ¡­"


    Di Chen''s lips trembled uncontrollably, feeling that it was unbelievable. His grandfather was the number one of the Di Family, a super expert at the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Stage. He was ranked highly in the entire Ling''an City!


    "Grandfather, who locked you up here, and who did it?" Di Chen roared, killing intent shooting out from his eyes.


    "Chen''er, Grandfather is already very satisfied to be able to see you again in his lifetime ¡­"


    The old man''s eyes were red with tears as he looked at Di Chen, his gaze filled with love.


    "Grandfather, who was it that imprisoned you here?"


    Di Chen''s heart was unable to calm down at all, he immediately jumped towards the iron tower, scaring the old man inside as he hurriedly said: "Chen''er, don''t you run over here. This tower is called Soul Sealing Pagoda, if you get too close to it, it will suck your soul away.


    Di Chen ignored the old man''s shout, he was so excited that he forgot about it, but Di Chen walked straight through the Tie Ta and arrived in front of the old man.


    "Chen''er, why are you fine?" No, Chen''er, why are you still an ordinary person? But normal people can''t even get close to this Soul-Sealing Pagoda! Otherwise, it would be very easy for him to turn into ashes. "


    "That''s right, Chen''er, hurry up and leave. This Soul Locking Tower was set up by your uncle and an expert from the Divine Flame Sect. I was so agitated just now that I made the tower roll. I might have disturbed the telepathic thoughts of the two of them ¡­"


    The old man panicked. He recounted the reason for his miserable treatment, and then, his forehead emitted a light. His memories gathered together, forming a divine sense, as it charged into Di Chen''s mind.


    In a blink of an eye, Di Chen had refined the spiritual will memory that his grandfather had passed on to him. Compared to the inherited imprint of the Ancient Wen Sheng, the memory of his grandfather was like a witch meeting a young one, the concept of an egg and a rock did not help him much, but at least it was better than nothing, after all, this was the inheritance of the Di Family.


    "Chen''er, are you alright?" Seeing Di Chen closing his eyes, the old man Di Tian asked anxiously.


    Di Family pavilion, Di Residence.


    This was where the Di family''s patriarch lived. The tall buildings and courtyards were standing tall. The air was filled with mist, symbolizing the elegance of the garden. It gave off a noble aura, as if it were an immortal palace.


    At the same time, in one of the rooms in the courtyard, a fat old man was sitting cross-legged on his bed cultivating with his eyes closed. It was the patriarch of the Di Clan, Di Dao, who suddenly opened his eyes with the corner of his eye twitching.


    "The old fellow should have been reduced to ashes by now! The Yang Rings of the Twin Rings of the Yin and Yang must be in that old man''s hands. After he dies, the clan leader''s keepsake, the Yang Ring, will become ownerless and will fall out. "


    Di Dao mumbled to himself as he quickly got up and went to the back of the mountain. He was extremely excited in his heart, the patriarch of the Di Clan''s token was a protective spirit level nine tribulation profound artifact. It was divided into two rings, one for yin and the other for two rings. If the Yin and Yang combined together and carried on the same person''s body, the person would be even more powerful, and would be even more powerful than the legendary spirit weapon.


    Thinking about it, Di Dao became extremely excited, and scolded: "That damned old fellow is too stubborn and unyielding. If not for the Yang Rings Ring protecting his martial soul, he wouldn''t be only a Patriarch right now without a Patriarch''s keepsake."


    At the same time, from a dead swamp outside the Ling''an City, a dark voice sounded out: "That old fellow finally died, then I can finally obtain the Earth Flame Mantra. "Earth Flame Mantra is a high level Profound Rank Method of travelling. Once you obtain my power, it will be extremely useful, and I will be able to advance even further. Hahahaha ¡­"


    "Di Dao, you and I are irreconcilable, I will hack you into pieces for the rest of my life." In the area between the mountains and lakes behind the Di Family, Di Chen roared loudly.


    "Chen''er, hurry up and leave!" Otherwise, the unfilial son will come later. Remember to protect yourself well and take the Yang Ring, the clan leader''s token. "


    The Heavenly God''s Perception sensed that a Ranker was flying towards them from afar. He immediately passed a green storage ring to Di Chen and was about to use his powers to send him away.


    "Grandfather, wait a moment, I can save you." Di Chen immediately regained his senses, and shouted: "Grandfather, first, put on the Sun Ring Ring, protect the martial soul, I''ll bring you out of here."


    Di Chen knew that this was an urgent matter, so he didn''t wait for his grandfather to speak. I need your help right now, hurry up and come out. "


    A golden light flew out from Di Chen''s arm, transforming into an ancient brush lying in Di Chen''s palm. It was the brush that bore the Human Inheritance Mark on Tian Shi.


    This brush was an Emperor level Nine Calamity Divine Artifact. It could draw serpents, draw dragons, and make the finishing touches. At the same time, it could chop apart gold and jade, slay gods and slaughter demons, and destroy souls ¡­ He always knew that this pen had a lot of incredible functions. In fact, it even had its own space inside as it grew living beings.


    "Kill!"


    Di Chen scolded lightly as he waved the brush in his hand to write the word "Slash" in the air.


    This was the second word in the Book of Heaven''s Words that he comprehended in a fit of rage. The word "cut" emitted a golden light. The two sides of the chain coiled with multicolored light and turned into a giant axe. It then chopped at the Soul Locking Chain on the legs of Di Tian''s hand.


    "Sizzle ¡­"


    The mountain-like Soul Locking Chain was shattered by the axe and the Soul Pagoda chain that was linked to it were all broken. After Di Chen finished doing all of this, the Heavenly Soul-Sealing Brush turned into streams of air and entered his arm.


    "Grandfather, quickly take me away."

 C6

    A wave of dizziness hit him, and Di Chen completely fainted.


    "Chen''er, how did you do it?"


    Di Tian shook his hands in disbelief. He saw Di Chen''s right hand dance, and then, the entire Soul-Sealing Pagoda and the Soul Locking Chain that held his hands and feet shattered.


    "Chen''er, what happened to you?"


    Di Tian quickly regained his senses. Seeing that Di Chen had fainted, he became extremely anxious and directly carried Di Chen in the air and left.


    Not long after the two of them left, a person stepped on the air and came. It was the patriarch of the Di Family, Di Dao.


    "What''s going on? How could this be? "What about that old fogey?"


    Di Dao could not believe what was in front of him.


    "Could it be that the old fellow broke through his Lifestealer Realm and escaped after entering the Martial King Realm and shattering the Soul Locking Tower?"


    Di Dao''s face changed slightly, his heart trembling uncontrollably. If that was the case, things would be difficult.


    "Buzz ¡­"


    At this time, the air twisted and an old man flew over. This old man was covered in a black robe and had a head full of red hair.


    The old man directly walked in front of Di Dao, baring his metallic teeth and saying in a deep voice: "Acting Patriarch Di Dao, after waiting for so many years, you finally have what you want, but, I believe that in a few days, you will become the true patriarch of the Di Family. This old man will congratulate you in advance."


    The old man paused here for a moment, then continued, "Of course, the purpose of this old man coming here today, if you want to believe the Di Dao Family Patriarch, you also understand, please do as you said and bring the Earth Flame Technique over."


    "Hmph, old fogey Huang Yu, isn''t your Divine Flame Sect''s Soul-Sealing Pagoda''s formation extremely destructive? Why is it that the tower''s formation has been destroyed all day and people have already escaped? If you still want the Method of travelling, you should think of a way to save your old life first!"


    Di Dao''s face became ugly, and said coldly.


    When the old man called Huang Jiu heard it, he immediately jumped in fright, and anxiously looked towards the place behind Di Dao. All he saw was a pile of ruins, what Soul Locking Tower Formation would there be?


    All of this caused Huang Yu''s entire body to go cold, and she quickly asked: "Where did that old fellow go?"


    Di Dao''s face darkened, and snorted: "How should I know, I just came over."


    "That would be troublesome." Yellow


    "I think we should report this to the protector of our Divine Flame Sect, otherwise, we won''t be able to defend against a Martial King Realm expert killing him."


    Hearing Huang Yu''s words, Di Dao''s face changed continuously, and finally said: "I will find an even more precious divine item. To the Protector of the Divine Flame Sect. "


    The two of them continued to draw up their battle tactics against Di Tian. After a long while, they finally dispersed.


    A heaven-shaking conspiracy against Di Tian began without a sound.


    Snowy Forest!


    In a snowy forest area, snow-white trees with luxuriant branches and lush leaves were connected to the ground. They were extremely thick and bulky, as if they could cover the starlight, causing this area to be eternally dark.


    These were all thousand-year old trees. They had an extremely vigorous and powerful life force. Even though the temperature was extremely low, even if it was winter, there wouldn''t be much damage.


    At this time, in a corner of the snowy forest, the two figures of an old man and a young man sat cross-legged facing each other. It was Di Chen and Di Tian, the grandfather-grandson pair.


    "Chen''er, your injuries?"


    Di Tian looked at Di Chen and asked worriedly.


    "Grandfather, I''m fine now, don''t worry."


    Di Chen laughed and said, he had already woken up for a few hours, and the power of speech in his body had recovered.


    However, he did not expect that the power of his speech did not originate from the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, but from the symbol.


    "I think it''s better if I check it out for you." Di Tian could not be at ease with his grandson''s body, and he even used his spiritual will to examine Di Chen''s body a few times.


    "Grandfather, is your body alright? "Once I become stronger, I''ll definitely refine a part of your body for you."


    Di Chen promised solemnly that, with the inheritance of the Ancient Runes, he did indeed know many ways to refine the body, and there was even a special method, which was to cultivate the Classic Runes. He would be able to condense the power of the words and then transform into the runes, changing into a thousand forms which were extremely powerful.


    Di Chen told his grandfather about his experiences in the past few years. Other than the fact that he had obtained the imprint of the Ancient Wen Sheng, it was not that Di Chen did not trust his grandfather, but it was just that this matter was extremely important, and if even a few people knew about it, there would be an additional layer of safety. If this matter were to spread, then it would definitely shake the world, and countless people would try to snatch it away.


    "Hmph, Di Dao, this unfilial son, I won''t forgive him."


    Hearing what Di Chen had said, Di Tian was enraged. The veins on his forehead were all bulging and his eyes were bloodshot, as if flames were about to spew out.


    "That''s right, Chen''er, what did you use to destroy the Soul-Sealing Pagoda?"


    Di Tian was very curious about this. No matter how he looked at it, his grandson was just an ordinary person without any elemental energy in his body.


    "Grandfather, this is a special ability of mine. It''s a fortuitous encounter I''ve gotten recently, but it''s inconvenient for me to tell you." Di Chen''s heart was in shock, he never thought that even with his grandfather''s powerful cultivation, he would not even be able to see the shape of the divine brush.


    "That''s fine too, everyone will have their own fortuitous encounters and secrets."


    Di Tian waved his hand and said carelessly.


    Di Tian wanted to go out to search for medicine to recover his body, but Di Chen ran towards the Di Residence. Before he left, Di Chen passed on the ancient text of the scripture, which was written in the language of ancient characters, to his grandfather. Although he was worried about his grandfather, with his current cultivation, there was nothing he could do about it, he could only pray that his grandfather would return safely.


    Although it was difficult for Di Chen to make a move in the Di Family, he would always face everything that had happened. The hatred between Uncle Qiu and Gemini was still waiting for him to take revenge, and this was also related to his reputation.


    He had to wash away all the shame by himself.


    "Soon, it will be the five-year examination period for Thousand Autumn Dynasty. I have to be extremely prepared."


    Di Chen muttered to himself as he walked in the snow.


    Squeak squeak squeak ¡­


    Just as Di Chen was deep in his thoughts, a big white tree root let out a "Wu Wu Wu Wu" sound, shocking Di Chen: "Could it be that there is a wild beast?"


    Di Tian slowly groped his way over. After having obtained the inheritance imprint of the ancient scholar and refined his body, his mind and spirit had been greatly enhanced. He felt that when digging, he could sense any movement within ten meters. It would not be too much to call it ''Listening to Ant Battle.''


    "Wuwuwu ¡­"


    As Di Chen got closer, the sound of his heavy breathing became louder and louder, like the sound of muffled thunder.


    "Could it be that the beast is sleeping?"


    Di Chen''s heart thumped, if the wild beast was asleep, then with a more agile attack, being able to kill in one move was not impossible.


    Di Chen was drooling at the value of wild beasts, and his grandfather spent all of his precious treasures on the Sea Eagle that he obtained yesterday.


    "No, it''s a rank 7 beast!"


    A powerful aura surged towards Di Chen, causing his expression to change slightly, and become serious.


    "This won''t do. I need to have the courage to climb higher. If I don''t even dare to challenge a beast, then how would I dare to talk about dominating the world and roaming the martial world?"


    Di Chen''s expression turned cold, he clenched his fists tightly, the power of his words started to boil, the runes surrounded his body and turned into a fist aura, then turned into a blade and sword image in the next moment, he leaped up and flew towards the location where the beast was hiding.


    "Weng ¡­"


    Following the sound of an explosion, a beast''s roar seemed to split the earth apart. Accompanied by a wave of fury, it surged forward, causing Di Chen''s eardrums to hurt, and he could not help but take a few steps back.


    "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"


    The roar of the beast shook the heaven and earth; it was extremely loud.


    Under the snow, ''kacha'' sounds could be heard echoing through the skies. It was as if the heavens and the earth were being split apart, and it was a sound that could shake the heavens and the earth.


    "Swoosh!"


    After the shout, a huge monster that covered the entire sky jumped up high and glared at Di Chen. The cold Qi it was emitting was overbearing, its eyes were like that of a venomous snake, releasing a sharp light, as though it was going to tear the morning apart.


    "Snow pig? And it''s a stage seven snow pig! "


    Di Chen was very surprised. Snow Pigs were produced from the essence of snow. Every year, a lot of Snow Pigs would be born in the snow and winter. Although there were a lot of them, their IQ was the lowest type of wild beast and they did not have much attack power.


    An ordinary snow pig only had a cultivation base at the third or fourth stage. It was unknown what kind of heavenly and earthly treasure this snow pig had eaten. It was extremely powerful.


    "Hey, you fat pig, aren''t you tired from flying? Hurry up and come down to rest for a bit! "


    Di Chen looked at the snow pig flying low in the sky. He knew that those were not real wings, but rather those made by the snow pig using demonic energy.


    "Chi ¡­"


    The snow pig was enraged, it howled and dove towards Di Chen, wanting to swallow him alive.


    "Good job!"


    Di Chen sneered, he stepped out again and again, and the power of his words sneezed out, forming a ''fixed'' symbol. The ''fixed'' character flashed with a purple light, shining like an iron tower that rushed towards the snow pig.


    This iron tower was created by trapping his grandfather''s Soul-Sealing iron tower. Although its power wasn''t as large as the original one, it was still not bad.


    "Pfft!"


    The snowy pig was hit, and a painful groan came out from its mouth. The demonic qi dispersed in all directions, and the wings formed by the demonic qi also disappeared. With a "boom" sound, the snowy pig fell from the low sky, creating a snowflake.


    "Roar!"


    The snow pig crawled up from the snow ground and howled at Di Chen. Its demonic qi soared to the sky and its huge body shook the earth, making wave after wave of powerful might suppress the heavens. This might was extremely strong, as if it was going to suffocate Di Tian.


    "Puchi!"


    Receiving the pressure, Di Chen''s face immediately became pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which dyed the entire snow red. His body could not help but tremble.

 C7

    BOOM!


    The hissing sounds rolled over, the sharpness shot up to the sky, the snow pig was enraged, it really pounced towards Di Chen, wanting to kill him.


    "Instant slash!"


    Di Chen''s eyes were ice-cold as his pupils contracted. He was not afraid in the slightest when facing against such might. He directly unleashed his strongest attack, using the two symbols that he had comprehended.


    "Buzz!"


    The sky seemed to freeze and instantly, a tiger''s roar sounded out, shaking the entire nine heavens and ten earth.


    Di Chen''s clothes were burning as he waved his hand. He drew the two characters'' Set, Slash ''and turned it into a fierce tiger, soaring through the clouds and spitting out flames as he charged towards the snow pig.


    "Howl!"


    Suddenly, the snowy pig stopped when it saw the flood dragon and tiger. It laid on the ground as its body trembled. It did not resist at all.


    "The supreme being of all dragon beasts, the tiger is the king of all beasts. When dragons and tigers appear, all beasts submit!"


    Weng! *


    The snow boar''s body was coiled around by the Flood Dragon, but the giant tiger was constantly tearing apart the snow boar''s body. The snow boar''s entire body was bleeding, its four limbs were broken, and it roared in pain.


    At this moment, the energy of the two runes was exhausted.


    "What?" This snow pig could repair the wound on its own accord? Heavy limbs? "


    Di Chen panicked. He saw that the snow pig was emitting a green light as it coiled around his body. It was actually repairing his body at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, regrowing his crippled limbs.


    Roar!


    The snow pig quickly restored its body and rushed towards Di Chen. Its eyes were bloodshot, wanting to tear Di Chen apart. Not to mention that this human had worried him about his cultivation, he had even challenged his endurance three to five times. If it wasn''t for the fact that he was at a critical moment in his attempt to break through to the eighth step, he would have already killed this damn human.


    The snow pig had swallowed a magical blue bead, so it already had a good IQ.


    As the roiling imposing aura pressed down on him, Di Chen''s expression changed greatly, and beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead. He felt extremely uncomfortable.


    Di Chen''s expression was cold as ice, he roared: "If there is a slash, then there is a blade, the blade symbol is out!"


    Di Chen waved both of his hands and wrote the word ''blade'' in the air.


    A flash of blade radiance, beautiful and bright like a shooting star, lit up the void. It cut across the void and struck the snow pig.


    Swoosh!


    Just like that, a giant blood-red hole appeared between the snow boar''s eyebrows. The next moment, the ferocious snow boar actually stopped moving. His eyes widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable. The light in his eyes gradually faded, and he collapsed.


    "Dead?"


    Di Chen touched the sweat on his forehead. He was shocked speechless, he never thought that a snow pig could be so powerful.


    Panting heavily, Di Chen walked to the side of the snow pig''s corpse and took out a steel knife from his Cosmos Sack to cut open the snow pig''s stomach before taking out the demon core.


    The snowy pig''s Demonic Core was sparkling and brilliant, emitting nine orifices of golden light. The nine colors of the rising sun shined and flowed with divine multicolored light; it was extremely gorgeous and bright.


    "This snow pig''s demon core is very strange." Di Chen observed the demon core carefully and came to a conclusion. He was shocked.


    In the five elements of heaven and earth, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the five elements will produce yin and yang, and will contain everything.


    Generally speaking, a beast''s demon core had one color, representing one type of beast. If it was a demonic beast demon core with two colors, then it would be the demon core of a dual attribute demonic beast. Three colors of a beast''s demon core were incomparably rare, let alone a demon core of a beast with nine colors like this, it was simply unheard-of.


    Ding dong!


    Just then, a buzzing sound came out from the snow pig''s stomach. From the wound that Di Chen had made just now, a fist-sized white pearl had flowed out.


    "It seems like that''s the Snow Pig''s Demon Core!" Di Chen revealed a look of relief, and ran over to pick up the snow pig demon core, he was extremely excited.


    "Buzz!"


    All of a sudden, a sound rang out in the air. The sound rumbled like heavenly thunder, filled with a majestic aura.


    The Snow Pig Demon Core and the Nine-coloured Goblin Core in Di Chen''s hands instantly exploded, transforming into a myriad of golden lights, wrapping Di Chen within them. The huge amount of energy did not have the slightest impact, as if he was bathing in a clear ocean, his entire body flickered with golden light.


    After a long while, the golden light dissipated, revealing Di Chen''s body.


    "The Nine Revolutions Life Tactic, absorbs the energy of all living things, condenses the body of life, and refines it to perfection. A drop of blood can be reborn, immortal and indestructible ¡­"


    Di Chen opened his eyes. His face was filled with disbelief, he had actually obtained the supreme technique "Nine Revolutions Life Tactic" from the Nine-coloured Goblin Core. However, he did not know the origins of this technique, and felt that it was a little regretful.


    The entire snow pig demon core was smashed by the Nine-coloured Goblin Core, all of the energy entered Di Chen''s body and cleansed and strengthened his bones.


    No, it was not a demon core, but a Pearl of Life.


    Di Chen observed himself carefully, and realised that he had grown taller, his skin had become fair, and he looked extremely handsome and confident.


    "Hmm? The Pearl of Life entered my dantian area and it was shrouded by mist. If you did not observe carefully, you wouldn''t be able to see it. "


    Di Chen was very surprised, he tried to communicate with the Pearl of Life using his mind, but no matter how Di Chen tossed and turned, the Pearl of Life did not have any reaction, so Di Chen could only do it.


    "I never would have thought that I would be blessed by misfortune and that I would encounter so many fortuitous encounters. My dark world will finally emit tens of thousands of rainbows."


    Di Chen mumbled to himself as he walked towards the Ling''an City. Along the way, he had killed quite a few wild beasts, but they were not of a high level. There was only a Level 6 wild beast that had condensed into a demon core.


    Ling''an City.


    The streets were bustling with noise and excitement. It was close to the new year, and the streets were crowded with people.


    On the streets, many people kept their eyes closed and pointed at him. Many people secretly talked about the scandal of Di Chen raping and killing the servant girls to people they did not know about.


    Di Chen heard all kinds of words and felt hatred in his heart, but on the surface he did not move at all. He turned a deaf ear to all the words, and directly walked towards the beast market.


    The beast market was a market that specialized in trading wild beasts and demonic beast. Whether it was a living, jumping wild beasts or dead demonic beast, there was a special purchasing office here.


    demonic beast was a beast''s evolution. It was a higher level animal, many times stronger than a wild beast.


    Not long after, Di Chen arrived at the Beast City.


    When Di Chen stepped into the beast market, he only saw several rows of peddlers setting up stalls, with stalls lining up on both sides in an orderly manner. Di Chen saw that the stalls were all filled with beast skin, beast teeth and other things, with a variety of different types, especially the most commonly seen tiger patches, squirrels, wild boars, pheasants, and sea thieves ¡­ Wait, wait, wait ¡­ parts of the carcass of a wild beast.


    Although today was not the opening day of the beast market, but now that the new year was approaching, there were many warriors who went to the beast market to buy some beast meat to satisfy their stomachs. As for normal people, they would not be able to eat these beasts that contained essence energy. Otherwise, if they were light, they would suffer a stomachache, but if they were heavy, they might even explode and die.


    Di Chen casually strolled around, asking everywhere for the price of the wild beast corpses. After an hour, he understood that it was about time, so he bought the wild beast corpses he hunted down at a normal price, then left in a relaxed manner.


    Every day, it would be packed with guests, but today, it was especially quiet. There was not a single person on the first floor, and several tables on the second floor only saw a few handsome young men and two young girls in yellow gowns facing each other.


    These youngsters all had sinister smiles plastered on their faces. It was obvious that they were very happy to encounter such beautiful women.


    One of the girls looked ordinary. She was short and had nothing out of the ordinary about her. Although the other young girl was young, she had a flawless oval face. Her face had a rosy luster, and her eyes were bright. Her figure was tall and slender, and under her yellow dress, she appeared graceful and gorgeous.


    "Scram! You dare to block our way? Do you want to die?"


    The ordinary-looking girl was enraged as she coldly shouted.


    "Hehe, this lady, they are all bastards. Ignore them."


    A young man in a green robe stepped forward and pretended to be serious as he said, "I am Di Long, the eldest son of the Di Family of Ling''an City. "I''m not the same as them, and I believe that the girl has also noticed my brilliance. From the first moment I saw the girl, I felt a strong sense of familiarity, and I wanted to buy her a cup of tea."


    Di Long''s eyes burned with passion as they danced in the air. Although he spoke to the girl that looked like an ordinary girl, his eyes did not leave the girl''s eyes.


    "Di Long, fuck your sister... You''re shameless enough! "


    There were a few people who were dissatisfied with what Di Long had said, but because Di Long''s cultivation was higher than theirs, and their friendship was not bad, they did not say anything.


    However, there were a few youths who were also disciples of large clans. He was angered by Di Long''s words and scolded loudly, "Di Long, you grandson, what are you pretending for? Everyone knows who you are and what kind of trash you are. How could this happen? "This is something worth thinking about."


    "Un, I know about this matter as well. The recent news of Di Chen raping and murdering a servant girl is a great sensation, but there is one thing you guys don''t know, and you all know that the trash, Di Chen, has been oppressed greatly by the Di Family. Not only was he forced to live in a weedy woodshed, even the two servant girls who were taking care of him when he was eating and drinking were taken by someone else, do you all know who that trash, Di Chen, was raping and killing a servant girl? "This is actually the pair that served him before ¡­"


    It was said that when he went out to train, he obtained a book on the techniques of the gods and ghosts. After cultivating, there was nothing in the world that he did not know.


    "He Wenye, what do you mean by that?" At this time, someone who saw He Wenye acting suspenseful asked in confusion.


    "Alright!" Bao Dating, we know that you know a lot of things, so why don''t you explain it to us! " Another person jeered.


    "He Wen Ye, you better make it clear that you are not afraid of your shadow being crooked. Otherwise, based on what you have said, you will regret it one day."


    Di Long snorted, his eyes filled with anger, but he endured it, because he had to maintain his demeanor in front of beautiful women.


    "Humph!" A shameless person dares to threaten me? "


    Bao Dating was extremely displeased, and said coldly: "According to my understanding, that servant girl called Shuang''er has always been on good terms with Di Chen, as though they are siblings. If Di Chen wants Shuang''er''s body, I reckon that Shuang''er will be so happy that she will automatically sacrifice herself. Furthermore, he''s only thirteen years old, and the toothpick has not even been developed yet. It''s inconceivable, and I came up with a shocking and incomprehensible detail, that the two of them are Level 3 Warriors and Di Chen is just an ordinary person. Would an ordinary person be able to rape and kill a Level 3 Warrior? "

 C8

    With He Wenye''s words, everyone became silent. A third level martial artist could kill an ordinary person with a single punch, just like an adult. One was a child, one was a stone, and the other was an egg. This was not a concept at all.


    "He Wenye, you ¡­"


    Di Long''s face was gloomy, he pointed at Bao Dating and angrily snorted: "My Di Family''s matters are not something an outsider like you can discuss. What we want to compete now is who will win the hearts of these two ladies, not talk nonsense."


    "Haha ¡­"


    He Wenye smiled but didn''t say anything. He thoughtfully looked at the beautiful girl.


    "I heard that many of the talented people in Ling''an City have joined forces to bully the two little girls, so I specially came over to take a look, so as to avoid losing all face for the young generation in Ling''an City."


    A loud and clear voice boomed as a young man walked up the stairs. This young man had long hair, a burly build, and looked a bit fat, but his steps were neat and forceful.


    "Xiang Tian!"


    This was one of the three famous geniuses in the Ling''an City. Three years ago, there was a rumor that a person was at the peak of level 10 and had half a foot in Lifestealer Realm. The moment this person stepped into the Lifestealer Realm and awakened the martial soul in his body, he would be reborn and fly over the wall, crossing the void.


    martial soul s were innate gifts of the people of Martial Region Continent, they were warriors'' souls. It could be said that only after awakening the martial soul in his body would he be considered to have truly stepped into the threshold of martial arts cultivation, including the achievements of the warriors in the future.


    There were countless different kinds of martial soul, such as weapon martial soul s, sabers, swords, spears, halberds; natural martial soul s, flames, astral winds, ice spirits, lightning; beast martial soul s, flood dragons, tigers, wild lions, giant apes; of course, there were also many different kind of martial soul, such as mutated martial soul, undying martial soul, life martial soul; of course, martial soul''s strength would increase along with the growth of warriors'' strength.


    martial soul s could be bestowed by heaven and earth, and could be passed down through generations. Even if it was a mountain, a sea, a star, a crescent moon, or a bright sun, it was still possible for them to become a person''s martial soul.


    However, to the martial soul, many people could only hear but not reach. Although the martial soul would be born with it, not everyone would be able to successfully awaken it.


    Awakening a martial soul would require one to be a Level 10 Warrior to form a Sky Bridge in their body, and only by crossing the bridge would they be able to touch the doorstep of the martial soul.


    "Haha ¡­" I never thought that Young Master Xiang Tian, one of the three prodigies of Ling''an City, would be so moved by this beauty even though she''s known as a martial arts fanatic.


    At this moment, another voice came from far away. This voice was extremely candid, but it was mixed with a trace of a domineering aura, as if it had the feeling of being the supreme existence in the world.


    He then saw a group of black shadows rushing over from the outside. They directly leaped up to the second floor and arrived before the crowd. They didn''t even need to walk up the stairs.


    "Haha ¡­" Brother Xiang Tian, this little brother here isn''t too late, right? "


    The person who came was a violet-robed youth. He had a rich and beautiful face, and was extremely enchanting, as if he were a woman.


    "Humph!" Jun Wu Yi, you actually like to act cool! " Xiang Tian snorted coldly. He was extremely disdainful.


    "Where is Brother Xiang Tian''s prestige!"


    The youth called Jun Wu Yi seemed to be modestly replying to Xiang Tian''s words, but there was a great pride in his tone.


    "Hiss ¡­"


    The youngsters were shocked when they heard the name ''Jun Wu Yi''. This name represented a legend of the Ling''an City.


    Jun Wu Yi had started cultivating since he was only three years old, and had reached the seventh level at the age of nine. He was a ninth level eighth level warrior at the age of thirteen, and had broken through to the ninth level at the age of fourteen. However, the strange thing was that Jun Wu Yi hadn''t awakened his martial soul ever since he had broken through the Lifestealer Realm, and his cultivation had fallen back to zero not long after, but Jun Wu Yi wasn''t worried at all, and so he continued his arduous cultivation.


    Two years later, news spread from his clan that his cultivation had once again returned to the level of a level ten martial artist, and he could still use some of the Lifestealer Realm''s abilities. For example, the Void Steps just now was one of them, he was a person who was established after breaking it, and was extremely powerful. Everyone in the Ling''an City called him the number one young genius, but he was definitely worthy of that.


    With the arrival of two of Ling An''s three prodigies, all of the youths except Di Long started to feel extremely passionate. These were all legendary super prodigies! Normally, they were rarely seen. Moreover, these two geniuses were both disciples of large families. If they could get on good terms with each other, then Wu Ning would have countless benefits!


    "I know that Brother Xiang Tian is a martial arts fanatic. He probably won''t fight with me for it, right?"


    Jun Wu Yi smiled gently and said: "It seems that you already have the intention to meet this lady, but would like to invite her for a cup of tea, and have a chat with her?"


    "Senior, let''s go!"


    The beautiful young girl didn''t even look at Jun Wu Yi as she lightly spoke to the girl who looked like an ordinary girl, and walked towards the stairs.


    "Stop, young lady, aren''t you being a little too ungrateful? It''s very dangerous outside. "


    Jun Wu Yi''s eyes turned cold. He hadn''t thought that an ordinary Girl would dare to refuse his invitation. Jun Wu Yi had a gentle smile on his face the whole time, which in fact made people feel that he was a man of honor, but in fact, he was a very proud and arrogant man, and this made him lose face in front of everyone, which made Jun Wu Yi very annoyed.


    "Young master Jun, you don''t need to worry about my daughter''s matters." The beautiful young girl''s voice remained indifferent the entire time, as if nothing had happened which caused her to be shocked in the slightest. After she finished speaking, she took a few steps and left.


    "Hmm?"


    At this time, another young man walked out of the staircase. He was tall and handsome, dressed neatly and quietly, had a silk scarf wrapped around his head, and a resolute face, with distinct contours, made him look like an elegant young master from a fairy tale, whose handsomeness could only be depicted in his mind.


    This youth was Di Chen who came out of the Beast City. After he returned here, he just so happened to be hungry. Seeing the restaurant, he immediately ran in. He had sold so many wild beasts anyway and his purse was bulging. It wouldn''t be too much to have a good meal.


    "So many people!" Where''s the owner? "


    Di Chen ignored them, and turned to walk towards a table on the other side.


    However, he did not know that the moment the beautiful young lady saw him, her tears immediately started streaming down, as she ran over and hugged Di Chen from Di Chen''s back.


    Di Chen was shocked, he never thought that there would be someone who would come to hug him, could it be that someone was going to do that to him? Just as he was about to counterattack, he suddenly heard a tearful voice.


    "Big Brother Di Chen, Yu''er misses you!"


    Di Chen said excitedly with his body trembling.


    At this moment, his thoughts seemed to have returned to before he was six years old. At that time, he always had a small tail following behind him, and that was a little Girl who was born at the same time, at the same time, on the same month, as him.


    He played with Shang Yu from a young age, almost inseparable from her. However, when they were six years old, a high level martial artist had examined the Nine Yin Body and found out that Shang Yu had a thousand years of rare talent, and wanted to bring Shang Yu to train with her. It didn''t matter if Shang Yu and his family agreed or not, he had told the Shang Family''s people about it, and then forcefully brought Shang Yu away.


    "Big brother Di Chen, I am your Yu''er!"


    The young girl called Shang Yu cried sorrowfully. She hugged Di Chen tightly, completely soaking Di Chen''s back.


    When this scene appeared in front of the eyes of the youths, all of them were dumbfounded. Everyone was shocked, even the number one genius of the Ling''an City, a beautiful young lady who ignored his invitation, actually ran over to hug an infamous piece of trash!


    "This ¡­"


    "Damn, this world has gone mad."


    Everyone swallowed their saliva as they felt their throats dry up, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.


    "Damned girl, you finally decided to come back?"


    Di Chen completely ignored the strange gazes of the young talents, and directly turned around to hug Shang Yu''s tall and soft body in his arms. As he touched Shang Yu''s smooth and smooth hair, ripples surfaced in Di Chen''s heart, it was a feeling of excitement.


    "Di Chen, you plotted and killed and treated your slave girl, yet now you are hugging her in front of everyone and hurting my Di family''s face. You are courting death ¡­"


    Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward and struck Di Chen''s face with his fist. He was extremely jealous! It could kill. At that moment, he wished that he was Di Chen, and that he could hug the beautiful young lady tightly.


    "Di Long?"


    Di Chen''s eyes surged with killing intent. From start to finish, the blood feud between Bing-er and Uncle Qiu had filled his heart, but today was not the right time to kill him. Let''s give him an unforgettable lesson first! Thinking about that, Di Chen waved his hand, and a ''fixed'' character formed with his will, flashing with a soft light, transforming into a shield that floated in the air.


    Di Long was already a Level 7 Warrior, his speed was like the wind, adding on to his anger, his speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he was behind Di Chen, his fist glowing like a blade, his face fierce, and directly smashed towards Di Chen.


    "Chirp!"


    Di Long suddenly stopped moving, leaving only his eyeballs rolling around.


    "To put on such an ugly posture is such a disgrace to our Di Family! I''ll show you how to get into an attractive position. "


    Di Chen raised his hands and slapped Di Long with his palms, causing Di Long to fly out with blood coming out of his mouth, but he was still sprawled on the ground and could not move.


    At the scene that happened to Di Long, everyone was shocked, they could not see clearly how Di Long flew back. No matter what was said, Di Long, a Level 7 Warrior, was unable to take one blow from another. The problem was, who had done it just now, was Di Chen or the beautiful girl in his arms? However, the two of them did not have any fluctuations of Essence Qi! He was clearly just two ordinary people!

 C9

    "What''s going on?"


    A loud sound rang out, and the stifling atmosphere caused Shang Yu, who was in Di Chen''s embrace, to wake up. He raised his head and praised: "Big Brother Di Chen, you were so awesome just now!"


    "Damned girl, do you know that I was the one who did it?"


    Di Chen had a strange look on his face. He had used the power of his speech, yet he couldn''t even see the cultivation level of his grandfather, Di Tian. Who would have thought that this little girl could see it.


    "No!" I guessed. But I believe Big Brother Di Chen must have grasped a mysterious power, a power that even the naked eye cannot see through. " Shang Yu giggled.


    Di Chen wiped away the tears on Shang Yu''s face and said happily: "Damn brat, you really changed a lot! He hadn''t seen him for a few years. That year, that snot girl had grown up. Furthermore, he was so beautiful! so much so that your big brother Di Chen wouldn''t even recognize him. "


    "I''m not a stinky girl. I''m a sweet girl. Smell it if you don''t believe me!" Shang Yu blinked her eyes mischievously and said with a chuckle.


    "This ¡­"


    "Fuck, what a scam."


    When the young prodigies heard the flirtatious words of the two, they were stunned once again, even the ordinary-looking girl that came back with Shang Yu had her eyes opened wide like two small suns, filled with disbelief.


    "Is this still their Sky Realm Academy''s icy goddess? Normally, I wouldn''t even bother to say a word to a man, but now, I''m hugging and flirting with one of them? "


    "Damned girl, seeing that this isn''t the place for us to talk, I''ll take you to a quiet place. We''ll have a good chat later!"


    Di Chen gently pinched Shang Yu''s nose with his fingers and said with a smile. Then he held Shang Yu''s hand and left.


    "Big brother Di Chen, you''re so annoying!" Shang Yu pouted coquettishly, the little Girl displayed her power. She did not object and allowed Di Chen to walk away while holding her little hand.


    "What do you think I am?"


    Seeing that Di Chen was about to pull the beauty away, Jun Wu Yi, who was still in shock, suddenly became angry and rushed towards Di Chen. He had to severely injure Di Chen in order to remove the anger in his heart.


    The fist''s light was overwhelming, accompanied by an enormous pressure.


    ''s face slightly changed. Jun Wu Yi was not the kind of person who would compost pills like Di Long, but rather, he was a genius who would become an expert in Lifestealer Realm. Each and every one of his moves contained immense power.


    Di Chen circled his steps, pulling Shang Yu behind him. The power of the words in his body revolved, his palms slashed out, and the image of a blade appeared in the sky, the two runes'' blade ''and'' slash ''appeared out of nowhere.


    Di Chen said coldly: "Since your fist art is so powerful, then my ''fist'' symbol will also appear!


    The shadows of his blade flashed as his fist flashed and arrived right at Jun Wu Yi''s incoming attack.


    "Boom!"


    The fists of the two clashed, and sparks were produced from the collision. Each of them took more than ten steps back. Di Chen''s hands trembled slightly as the power of speech in his body was exhausted. The remaining power of speech was in a mess as it boiled everywhere.


    "Ling''an City''s number one genius is indeed worthy of her reputation." Di Chen sighed inwardly.


    However, he didn''t know that at the moment, Jun Wu Yi was even more shocked, and that even his hand was in pain because of the shock, but he didn''t understand that Di Chen''s body didn''t emit any elemental energy fluctuations, and was able to block his attack. Even if it was a Level 10 Warrior, this punch would probably be able to heavily injure him!


    "Again! I don''t believe in evil! "


    Jun Wu Yi was furious as he took a step forward and attacked Di Chen.


    More than once, Di Chen had been chased and beaten by other people, and his heart was burning with anger. He wanted to use his Heavenly Divine Brush to fight, because at the moment, he was not Jun Wu Yi''s match. However, at this time, a figure appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Di Chen and Shang Yu, waving his hand to block the attack of Jun Wu Yi.


    "Brother Jun''s actions are a bit inappropriate, right?"


    The person who came was also a young man. He wore a black robe, and his body was enormous. His face was like a carving of a knife, and it was very resolute.


    "Shang Qing! It''s you, why? Are you going to stop me from teaching them a lesson? "


    Jun Wu Yi ordered with a cold look on his face. This caused the eye sockets of the youths to constrict.


    Shang Qing, the strongest member of the Shang Family''s younger generation, one of the three great families of Ling''an City, was also one of the three prodigies.


    Everyone never thought that the three most talented youths of Ling''an City would come here because of a beautiful girl.


    "Girl, why aren''t you returning home? What are you wandering around for?"


    Shang Qing did not pay any attention to Jun Wu Yi''s cold shout, but asked Shang Yu who was standing beside him.


    "Big brother, you''re here."


    Shang Yu laughed naughtily and directly threw herself into Shang Qing''s embrace, then said in a spoiled manner, "Big Brother, it''s been eight years since we last met, and you''re getting more and more powerful."


    Shang Qing rubbed Shang Yu''s hair and said while smiling. He had doted on his little sister ever since he was young, even though they had not met for eight years, he had never changed.


    "What?" That beautiful girl actually called Shang Qing big brother. "


    The young elites from various clans were greatly shocked, and then all revealed expressions of shock.


    These people were all outstanding youths from different clans in Ling''an City. Of course, they had heard of Shang Yu''s various stories, those who were born with the Nine Yin Body were taken in by powerful martial artists as their disciples and brought away to cultivate. He didn''t expect to be back today.


    "So that beautiful young lady is actually that trash Di Chen''s fiancee. No wonder she hugged him the moment she saw him."


    Some people laughed at this time. Their eyes were not sharp enough to see the exchange between Di Chen and Jun Wu Yi, if not they would regret what they had just said.


    "Di Chen, what demonic technique did you cast?"


    At this time, Di Long who was on the ground could move, he stood up and roared fiercely at Di Chen: "Di Chen, I want you dead."


    At the same time as he roared, he had already dashed towards Di Chen. With a face filled with bloodlust, he wished that he could swallow Di Chen whole.


    "Humph!" A mad dog, don''t mess around with a dog, it''s so annoying. "


    Di Long rushed towards Di Chen as if he was immune to it, but when he passed by Jun Wu Yi, Jun Wu Yi was furious, and directly smacked Di Long away. In his heart, he was full of disdain towards Di Long, and had received a lesson from him.


    "Jun Wu Yi, you ¡­"


    Di Long flew backwards as he fell to the ground, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood. He looked at Jun Wu Yi with a cold look in his eyes, but was unable to say anything.


    "You what you!"


    Jun Wu Yi said indifferently: "You talk too much!" If you are not convinced, you can ask the number one genius of the Di Clan, Di Hui, to come and take revenge for you! "


    "Jun Wu Yi, don''t go overboard with this matter. When will it be the Jun Family''s turn to handle the matters of my Di Family?"


    This was the pain of a young generation of the Di Family. Among the top three families in Ling''an City, both the Jun Family and the Shang Family had a famous genius whose halo was like that of heaven and earth. Only the Di Family did not have this kind of talent, and the genius Fourth Young Master Di Hui was currently a ninth level warrior.


    Although the top three clans usually did not argue, they often fought openly and secretly over various resources. It was even more obvious in the younger generation, and most fights would be called sparring, as long as it was not serious or as long as the person was dead, the older generation would not interfere, and they could only rely on the younger generation to resolve it themselves.


    "Brother Shang Qing, I never thought that your sister would return! Please forgive this little brother for being blind and being unable to recognize that beautiful girl as Brother Shang Qing''s sister. "


    Jun Wu Yi looked at Shang Qing and smiled faintly, but his eyes continued to stare at Shang Yu. Shang Yu''s beautiful and charming appearance, as well as his noble temperament made him feel a great sense of possessiveness.


    "Jun Wu Yi, you dare to touch Yu''er? Are you courting death?"


    Di Chen, who was standing at the side, saw the possessiveness hidden in Jun Wu Yi''s eyes and snorted coldly in his heart.


    "Girl, let''s go home! Don''t make Father and Mother panic. "


    Shang Qing didn''t seem to hear Jun Wu Yi''s words as he dragged Shang Yu away. Just as he took two steps, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to Di Chen: "Di Chen, it seems like you aren''t the trash of the outside world. Let''s go together."


    Di Chen nodded and followed suit.


    "Sister Shang Yu, there''s still me!"


    A shriek sounded out, and from the crowd, the ordinary-looking girl that originally looked like Shang Yu ran out and said angrily, "Junior Shang Yu, you aren''t thinking of leaving me here, are you? There are so many wolves here."


    "Oh!" "I have that thought."


    Shang Yu''s calm voice returned, she introduced the ordinary-looking girl to Shang Yu and Di Chen, then the four of them turned and walked away.


    "Brother Shang Qing sure knows how to play the big card!"


    At this time, Jun Wu Yi and Xiang Tian, who hadn''t expressed any opinion for a long time, started snorting coldly, and immediately released their aura, directly suppressing their opponents. Although the outside world called the three elites, Shang Qing''s reputation had always been above theirs, and of the three of them, Shang Qing was the most mysterious, at the age of seventeen, possessing unfathomable strength. It was said that he had once killed a person with Lifestealer Realm.


    Jun Wu Yi and Xiang Tian couldn''t stand Shang Qing''s arrogant attitude any longer, so they joined hands and released their aura, wanting to embarrass him in front of everyone.


    "This is not a martial stage, please do not bring shame upon yourselves!"


    Shang Qing''s cold voice came out, he stopped in his tracks, and without even looking back, he only saw an enormous, suffocating aura rising up from his body, and a gigantic steel blade slowly appeared in the air. The blade''s radiance soared, and slashed towards Jun Wu Yi and Xiang Tian.


    "Puff puff ¡­"


    Two muffled thunders resounded as both Jun Wu Yi and Xiang Tian spat out blood. Both of them looked at the steel blade that hadn''t dissipated yet, and their faces were filled with fear as they said in unison: "Blade martial soul? Lifestealer Realm! "


    "Humph!" I hope that there won''t be a next time. Otherwise, it will not be a simple lesson. "


    Shang Qing waved his black robe, causing the steel blade in the air to dissipate. Afterwards, he brought Di Chen and the others to walk away, but this time, no one dared to stop him.


    "Bastard!" Shang Qing actually stepped into the Lifestealer Realm! "


    When Shang Qing and the others had left the scene, Jun Wu Yi was still roaring furiously.


    The young elites of the various clans didn''t dare to speak, fearing that they would anger this unreasonable fiend.

 C10

    Di Chen was quite surprised with Shang Qing''s performance.


    Although Appreciating Rain was his fiancee, he was not close to Di Chen. Shang Qing had a proud and aloof personality since he was young, and it was difficult for others to get close to him, even for him.


    Previously, he only knew that Shang Qing was very powerful, but didn''t know that it was powerful to this extent.


    Now, it seemed that of the so-called three prodigies, Shang Qing had already obtained the upper hand. The difference in strength was not in the slightest compared to the two of them.


    At the same time, Di Chen was also thinking, with his current strength, how much chance of fighting Shang Qing?


    No!


    After pondering for half a day, he could only come to this conclusion. Even if he had the Sky Text Scripture on him, with its boundless might, Shang Qing had already stepped into the Lifestealer Realm and possessed the Blade martial soul.


    For example, that move just now, even if he put himself in his shoes for a moment, he wouldn''t be able to withstand that blade.


    "If you don''t want to die, then scram far away. Don''t let me see you again." That little bit of strength and background of yours is not even worth mentioning in my eyes! " Shang Qing snorted, he flung his sleeves and left with Di Chen and Shang Yu as well as that ordinary-looking lady.


    The woman with the ordinary appearance was called Shangguan Han. Her identity and background was unknown, and he only knew that she was Shang Yu''s good friend.


    Shang Yu did not elaborate!


    Walking along the street, Shang Qing escorted Di Chen back to Elder Lin Ming''s residence. Di Chen turned around and said: "Brother Shang, thank you very much for your help today. If it weren''t for you helping out today, Jun Wu Yi would probably still be pestering him."


    Shang Qing was expressionless: "There is no need to be modest, you are no longer the same person. Although there are no signs of any elemental energy fluctuations in your body, with your current strength, it is not impossible for you to contend with Jun Wu Yi."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly and clenched his fist: "Elder Brother Shang, you think too highly of me. If I really had that kind of ability, how would I have fallen to such a level? Twin would not die so miserably that I would not be able to bury her body. And Dybo died because of me. "


    "How hateful!" The more Di Chen thought about it, the angrier he got. He turned around and fiercely punched the wall, without much strength, his fist only felt a sharp pain.


    "I know, but I just feel uncomfortable inside!" Di Chen''s hands were trembling, and his heart was in turmoil.


    Shang Yu gently pulled his hand and said gently: "Big Brother Di Chen, don''t be like this, I didn''t think that so many things would happen to you. "Don''t worry, from today onwards, no one will dare to bully you anymore. As long as you follow my Shang family, I will get my big brother''s help. The people who bully you will never have a good life."


    "Eh?" Di Chen turned around, his eyes filled with pain and confusion: "You want me to follow you to the Shang Clan?"


    He turned and looked at Shang Qing.


    Could it be that the Shang Clan was really willing to accept this infamous trash?


    Shang Qing slightly nodded his head, "If you are willing, I can bring you back to the clan!"


    Di Chen frowned, being able to enter the Shang Clan was an extremely good thing, because the Shang Clan was a large clan and there were many experts gathered there, and he could learn a lot from them. But Di Chen knew, even if he went there, he would not necessarily stand out, and as long as he did not wash his innocence, no one would look up to him.


    Thinking up to here, Di Chen shook his head and laughed at himself: "What ability do I, Di Chen, have to be able to enter the Shang Clan? Elder Brother Shang, thank you very much for today''s matter, but I have already made up my mind. I will not be going to the Shang Clan.


    "Good ambition." Shang Qing''s eyes revealed a rare look of approval, "It doesn''t matter what you lose, as long as you don''t give up. "Rest assured, I can tell that you will be able to stand at the peak of martial power in the future."


    Shang Qing did not force Di Chen to go to his own family. Everyone had their own aspirations and no one was willing to come.


    However, Shang Yu was unable to understand, and pulled Di Chen''s hand and said: "Big Brother Di Chen, why aren''t you going to the Shang Family? You no longer have anything to worry about. If you go to the Shang family, you can cultivate better and ensure your safety. In addition to that, we also have an engagement. We''re not small anymore, and this is the reason why I came to find you. "


    As she finished speaking, Shang Yu''s tender face immediately turned red. It was indeed difficult to get a Girl to take the initiative to discuss the major event of the engagement.


    Di Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Little girl, I know that you are doing this for my own good. I''m already like this, and I don''t want to discredit you. When I find what I have, I will marry you in broad daylight. You must wait for me! "


    Now, Shang Yu was the only comfort in his heart.


    "Alright, I won''t say anymore. You can go back now!" Di Chen once again revealed a smile, waved at Shang Qing and the others, then confidently turned around and walked into the Lin Family residence.


    The pain in his heart was not enough to speak up for an outsider. He had long since gotten used to bearing the pain of having to endure everything on his own!


    "Big Brother Di Chen ¡­" Shang Yu looked at Di Chen''s figure in a daze.


    Shang Qing opened his mouth, "Golden Qilin is not something that can be found within a pond. Xiao Yu, go back. You don''t have to worry about him. Maybe one day, we will all need to raise our heads and look up at him. "


    Shang Yu and her brother returned. After three steps, she turned around, reluctant to part with Di Chen, but she did not see him again.


    Di Chen hid at the door, watching Shang Yu leave. His attitude was resolute than it had ever been: "Girl, don''t worry, there will be a day when I will come and pick you up, and the sky won''t be too far away."


    After that, he entered the Lin Family compound and found Elder Lin Ming. Without saying anything further, he knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of Lin Ming.


    Lin Ming was shocked, he anxiously supported Di Chen and asked: "Chen''er, what are you doing? "Why is it like this all of a sudden? Did something big happen?"


    Di Chen raised his head, "No, I''m here to bid my farewell to you, Uncle Lin. I also wish to thank you for your kindness and care, I plan to go to the Thousand Miles Mountain to cultivate, I can''t stay here and cause you any trouble."


    "What trouble, Chen''er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Ming was a little angry, "Your father and I are siblings, and it is also because of him that I have had this day. I also consider you as half my son, so you can stay with me even if you want, and no one will dare to touch you. If anyone dares to hurt you, I, Lin Ming, will fight them to the death! "


    "But ¡­" Lin Ming''s expression also sunk as he said in a serious tone: "But you don''t even have any martial arts to cultivate, what kind of place is that mountains of thousands of li? It''s incomparably dangerous, and the demonic beast monsters inside come out one after another. Even if an expert of Lifestealer Realm were to enter, it would be hard for them to even take a single step, how can you go there by yourself!"


    This was not just to scare people. The dangers of the Thousand Mile Mountain was well-known, and ordinary people would not dare to step even half a step into this place.


    "Don''t worry, Uncle Lin. I have my own plans. Take care of yourself when I leave." You definitely cannot provoke Di Dao because of my matters. When I return, I will make him personally kneel in front of me and admit his wrongs. " After he finished speaking, Di Chen turned around and left without looking back.


    "Chen''er, Chen''er?" Lin Ming shouted a few times.


    Di Chen did not bother to respond, he had already made his decision and would not stay any longer.


    Now that he was free, his only goal was to increase his own strength!


    However, the first thing he needed to understand was how to raise his rank as a scholar!


    He had some brushes with him, but now he had to leave. He took this opportunity to go to the market and buy a large amount of paper. Then, he picked up a bamboo basket and carried it on his back as he set out on his journey towards the Thousand Mile Mountain.


    He did not have the money to rent a carriage, but he saw the notice for the hunters that were waiting outside the town. Di Chen thought to himself about looking for a team to get a carriage to take him to the Thousand Miles Mountain Range.


    Just as he was studying the bulletin board, a heavy sigh suddenly came from the side.


    "Hey, we are lacking one now, what should we do? If we still can''t find him, the prey we were looking for might run away or someone might kill us first. We''ve been working in vain for the past half month. "


    Hearing the sigh, Di Chen turned his head and saw four people sitting or standing by the wall. Two burly men, a young man who looked white and tender, and a young Girl. Although he didn''t understand what the four of them were trying to do, he could tell that they were hunters hunting in the mountains.


    Di Chen walked over and revealed a smile. He said to the four of them: "The four of you, are you recruiting? Can I join your team? "


    Upon hearing this, the four depressed people immediately raised their heads in joy. However, after seeing Di Chen, the four were all stunned.


    This was because they could not feel any energy fluctuations from Di Chen''s body. If it was just an ordinary person who joined their team, then it would be difficult to succeed.


    One of them, a man with a thick beard, frowned and asked, "What''s your martial arts level now?"


    Di Chen smiled and asked: "Does that matter?"


    "Of course there is. This time, the demonic beast that we have to deal with is not simple, if there is no warrior level 3 or higher, it cannot be used, and will very likely lose its life." The man said seriously.


    Di Chen revealed a smile: What a coincidence, I''m just Level 3 Warrior, can I join your team now?


    The man waved his hand and said, "That''s enough, that''s enough. Go away. Even if we can''t find you, we won''t let you join our team."


    "Why?" Di Chen squinted his eyes. He had never seen anyone who could not differentiate good from bad.


    "Because you are lying. There is not the slightest fluctuation of Essence Qi from your body, yet you told us that you are a Fighter level 3." How could you let a dishonest guy join our team! " The man looked dissatisfied.

 C11

    "So that''s how it is." Di Chen laughed, walked to the side and punched a stone lion on the head.


    A loud bang echoed out!


    Half of the stone lion''s head had been chopped off by Di Chen''s fist.


    The four of them widened their eyes in shock. The power of this punch was so strong that it was no longer at the third level of the Fighter realm. There was even a possibility of reaching the fourth level of the Fighter.


    Di Chen thought for a while, then said with a smile: "My name is Di Chen."


    "Di Chen?" The man''s eyes widened as he asked in surprise, "You are the disreputable Seventh Young Master of the Di Family, Di Chen?"


    "No, no ¡­" Di Chen quickly waved his hand, "My name is Di Chen, the Chen at Chen, I don''t know anything about the Di Family''s Seventh Young Master."


    "Oh, so that''s how it is. Your names are too similar. However, thinking about it, you are right. The seventh young master of the Di family doesn''t know how to cultivate at all. My name is Da Mu, and this is Er Mu, Little Hui, Little Shuang. "


    Big Wood introduced each of them.


    Di Chen remembered that the other burly man was called Er Mu, the young man was called Xiao Hui, and the Girl was called Xiao Shuang.


    "Alright, it really is like the bright flowers in the dark. Now that Di Chen has joined, our team is gathered. We can set off now." Er Mu grinned and said.


    Girl Xiao Shuang also became more cheerful as he giggled, "I think it''s best if you change your name. Otherwise, your name will sound like the seventh young master of the Di family, and will end up in a miserable state!"


    Di Chen was not angry, and laughed: "I would like to change it too, but I do not have a suitable name."


    Little Shuang raised her head and thought for a moment before smiling, "Seeing how silly you are, I might as well call you Big Idiot!"


    "Sure, that''s a good name." Di Chen laughed.


    As they spoke, Di Chen became more familiar with the four of them. The four of them did not have deep connections, and were honest people who were focused on hunting, so they did not question Di Chen at all. After packing up, they sat on the horse carriage and followed the road towards the Thousand Li Mountain Range.


    In the evening, when they were close to the mountain, the carriage stopped and they got off, walking up the mountain.


    "You big idiot, what is that thing you''re carrying on your back?" Little Shuang was especially close to Di Chen, walking shoulder to shoulder with her as they asked with smiles on their faces.


    Di Chen answered: "It''s calligraphy paper."


    "Book paper?" Little Shuang was surprised, "Why are you carrying paper and calligraphy up the mountain?"


    Di Chen smiled: "Practice."


    "You carried a piece of paper up the mountain to practice your calligraphy?" Little Shuang looked surprised, and then her mouth twitched, "What a weirdo, I don''t think we should call you big dumb, but weirdo instead."


    Di Chen laughed, and did not say much!


    The young man, Xiao Hui, said unhappily, "Alright, Xiao Shuang, stop pestering him. What does it have to do with you? Don''t forget our mission."


    Little Shuang turned her head to look at Little Hui and giggled. "What, you don''t even let me say anything? Are you jealous?"


    "Who''s jealous?" Xiao Hui turned his head disdainfully.


    Little Shuang giggled, then continued to speak with Di Chen, who dealt with his without a word.


    Very quickly, the four of them arrived at a patch of grass. The guide, Big Wood Er Mu, stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said: "Alright, let''s prepare here, the demonic beast that we are going to deal with is not far away. Right now, I have to make sufficient preparations so that no accidents will happen! "


    Di Chen asked doubtfully: "In the end, what demonic beast are we dealing with? I have not heard you speak of it. "


    Big Mu replied: "Sixth stage demonic beast, Earth Snake! "But it''s not easy to deal with. Brother Di Chen, you must be careful."


    "Earth Serpent? Still the sixth step. " Di Chen pondered and did not speak.


    A Stage Six demonic beast was already hard to deal with, not to mention the Earth Snake, which was very agile. Being able to move freely in one''s own territory, ordinary people couldn''t do anything about it, so it was no wonder that the four of them needed to recruit an additional person to act.


    Big Wood took out a bag of sulphur from his pocket. He circled around the snake and sprinkled it with sulphur to prevent the snake from escaping.


    Then they both drew their weapons and said, "Let''s do it. The preparation for half a month will depend on whether we can succeed or not today."


    Big Wood took a deep breath.


    Little Shuang, who was talking nonchalantly before, now had her mouth shut with a grave expression on her face. The four of them looked as though they were about to face a great enemy.


    "Charge!" With a loud roar, the four people charged forward while Di Chen followed closely behind.


    Leaping out of the forest, Di Chen immediately saw a gigantic snake in front of him. It was pitch black all over and the snake tongue in its mouth was half a meter long.


    The four of them moved the Earth Snake, it turned its huge head and looked at Di Chen and the others.


    "Hiss hiss ¡­" A creepy voice came from his mouth, and his eyes were incomparably cold.


    "Don''t give it time to react!" Big Wood gave a loud shout, then took the lead and dashed out together with Ermu. He raised the big blade in his hand high into the air and fiercely smashed towards the Earth Snake.


    But just at that moment, the Earth Snake suddenly twisted its body and swept out with its thick tail.


    Big Wood Er Mu was shocked, and hurriedly raised his blade to block. The result was that the two of them were sent flying. They landed on the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.


    The two struggled to get up, their faces full of shock as they looked at the Earth Snake in front of them. Big Mu gritted his teeth and scolded, "Bastard, this Earth Snake has actually already stepped into the Seventh Order." It''s over. In just half a month, he had already stepped into the seventh step. "What should we do?"


    The seventh stage was different from the sixth stage, especially the demonic beast, each stage had a large increase in strength.


    If rank 6 Earth Snake was a match for them, then rank 7 Earth Snake would be crushed!


    The young man Xiao Hui''s mind was unsteady, and when he heard this, he immediately asked anxiously: "Brother Mu, then what do we do now? Are we going to run? "It''s impossible for a seventh step Earth Snake to win."


    Big Mu gritted his teeth, "Why are you running? Our hard work for half a month is all for today. If we run, it would be no different from death. Attack together! "


    With that, Big Wood and Er Mu rushed out again, and Little Hui and Little Shuang also followed suit.


    Although there were four people who held the advantage in numbers, the difference in strength wasn''t something that could be filled by numbers. After this battle, the four people didn''t even get a scratch on the Earth Snake''s body. Instead, they were all sent flying by the Earth Snake. They all vomited blood and were seriously injured.


    Big Wood clutched his chest as he half knelt on the ground. His eyes were filled with despair as he said, "It''s over, this time we''re really going to die for sure!"


    He turned his head and looked at Di Chen with disdain, and said with disappointment: "The most important thing is, we even recruited a useless trash who can''t do anything."


    In the entire process from the start of the attack to now, Di Chen basically had never fought back. He just stood in place without moving, after all, he was just watching. It was no wonder why the heavily injured Mu Da Mu would mock him. If Di Chen did not attack, what difference was there between him and no one else?


    Xiao Shuang also stared at Di Chen in disappointment. "This guy, to think that I thought so highly of him before, I think my legs must have gone soft from fright!"


    The four of them scoffed at Di Chen in unison.


    Before they could finish their words, the enraged Earth Snake had already fiercely charged at the four of them. Its large tail was raised high and swept up a gale as it charged at the four of them!


    The four stared wide-eyed in despair, unable to resist. Death was right in front of them.


    But at this moment, Di Chen calmly raised his right hand, and shouted softly: "Firm!"


    The palm of his hand flickered with light, and the set formula started to float out, slowly growing larger, before smashing onto the Earth Snake like a small mountain. The Earth Snake was instantly knocked to the side, and this was not the end, as Di Chen immediately bellowed: "Break!"


    The Broken formula flew out again, and the Steadfast formula that had not dissipated yet instantly exploded. The shockwave swept out in all directions, and even the plants and flowers swayed backwards due to the shockwave.


    The explosion of the formula had blown the Earth Snake into smithereens!


    Broken pieces of flesh and blood fell down from the sky like rain. Only the blue-colored core was left falling down from the sky.


    The strength of the set formula combined with the use of the Broken formula was tremendous, it could instantly kill a stage seven Earth Snake.


    The four of them were dumbstruck as they stared at Di Chen in disbelief. Earlier, they had mocked Di Chen in a myriad of ways, but they had not expected that Di Chen''s light and leisurely actions would cause a stage seven Earth Snake''s body to shatter into pieces.


    So it turned out that Di Chen was not a useless trash, but simply did not put this Earth Snake in his eyes at all!


    After killing the Earth Snake, Di Chen did not even look at the dead man and turned to leave. He did not take the Earth Snake''s beast core. In any case, it''s just for a ride, so this demon core is just money for a ride!


    Looking at Di Chen''s leaving figure, the expressions of the four people were complex. To possess such powerful strength, he simply wasn''t at the third level of the Fighter realm. Most likely, he was already an expert in Lifestealer Realm. Why would an expert of the Lifestealer Realm want to hunt with us? "


    He had too many doubts, but it was already useless, they had just met by chance, and Di Chen was no longer with them.


    Di Chen did not go down the mountain. Instead, he continued walking deeper into the Thousand Miles Mountain Range. This was only the outskirts of the Thousand Miles Mountain Range.


    Relying on these low level demonic beast alone would not be enough to raise his fighting strength!


    The sky gradually turned yellow. Dusk had passed, and it was already pitch black.


    The night was not suitable for him to go in deeper, so he would have to busy himself with battles at night. Thus, Di Chen found a cave to temporarily stay in.


    Early morning of the second day. walked out of the cave and stretched while the mist permeated the air.


    There were less than three months until the Humanities exam, so he had to hurry up and practice. In another two months, regardless of whether he could succeed or not, as long as he was alive, he had to leave this mountain range.


    The words were still curving and twisting like a snake crawling around. Di Chen was depressed, angry and exasperated, the more he got angry, the worse his writing got.


    "You''re crazy!" The angry Di Chen tore the paper like crazy.


    "This old man is at least at the eighth rank of a scholar, and is also a legendary astronomical figure. Why are my handwriting so ugly?" Is that worthy of my identity? "

 C12

    But at this moment, he suddenly felt an ice-cold aura crawl up his arm from within the broken brush, and an unfathomable will seemed to be urging him to take out a piece of paper. This time, the brush moved like dragons and snakes, and the word "fix" was written down on the paper like dancing dragons and flying phoenixes.


    He looked at the fixed character on the paper with his mouth agape, feeling incredulous. "Did I really write this? Can I really write such beautiful words? "


    He hurriedly tried to write something else. Although the calmer he was, the better his writing looked, but it was still crooked and could not be put on the table.


    Di Chen gave up, looks like I''m not fit to write!


    But what was the meaning behind that word?


    Immediately after, Di Chen discovered that the power of speech that he had been using up was slightly increasing. Although it was very slight, he could clearly feel it.


    In other words, writing these formula could help the literati cultivate. Although it would not be much help in his liberal arts exam, it would still be very helpful in raising his cultivation.


    Therefore, Di Chen decided that in the future, besides training, he would also have to focus on writing formula s in order to increase his strength faster.


    After tidying up his thoughts, Di Chen tidied up the bamboo basket and walked out of the cave, preparing to continue heading deeper into the mountains.


    He wanted to find an even stronger demonic beast to kill so that he could temper his own strength.


    As he was walking, he suddenly heard loud noises coming from the side. He frowned and slowly moved to the side.


    He did not make too much noise, he moved closer to the trees, his eyes looking out through the dense bushes, and immediately saw, in the forest ahead, a Girl lying on the ground. His shoulder was severely injured, and a large part of his clothes were dyed red with blood.


    Behind Girl, three men walked out. One of them held a bow and two of them held a machete.


    The man holding the bow and arrow sneered: "Run, Qin Suer, you can run from my palm? "Obediently hand over the thing in your hand, or I will kill you on the spot."


    Girl clenched his teeth. He, who was heavily injured, was no longer able to resist. Even if he were to die, she would not take out the things on his body.


    "Damn thing!" The man snorted coldly, he immediately nocked his bow, the cold arrow aimed at Girl''s head, no one doubted that he would shoot through Girl''s head in the next moment.


    Di Chen squinted his eyes, this kind of killing and stealing was something that was common to him, he did not want to meddle in other people''s business, but things had already gotten to this point.


    The strength of these three people were all around Level Six Warrior, and their combined might was not a small amount. Unfortunately, compared to Di Chen, they were still two levels weaker.


    "Die!" The archer bellowed and was about to shoot.


    Girl shut his eyes in despair. He did not expect that he would still be unable to escape death in the end!


    "Three men killing a helpless woman, you''re just a bunch of trash!" Di Chen slowly walked out from the bushes, expressionlessly looking at the three of them.


    The three of them were stunned, the man holding the bow and arrows also retracted his force, he changed the direction of the arrow and aimed it at Di Chen, and asked: "Who are you? "What do you want?"


    Di Chen sneered: "Don''t care who I am, if you know what''s good for you, quickly scram. Otherwise, no one will help you collect your corpses."


    When Girl initially heard that someone had come out to save his, he joyfully opened her eyes. However, immediately after, he did not reveal a happy expression, as his face was already filled with despair, because she could not feel any sort of spirit energy coming from Di Chen''s body. A person who could cultivate definitely would have spirit energy in their body, but Di Chen''s situation only explained one thing, and that was that Di Chen did not know how to cultivate.


    "Hurry up and leave, don''t worry about me, don''t risk your life." Girl shouted to Di Chen.


    "It''s too late to leave now!" The archer let out a cold laugh, and then he loosened his grip. The bowstring began to hum loudly in the air.


    The sharp arrow whistled as it shot towards Di Chen!


    This was no ordinary bow, there was a large amount of vitality added to it, the resulting damage was extremely huge, in the blink of an eye it was in front of Di Chen.


    "It''s over!" Girl stuttered. He could not bear to watch any longer. Not only was she going to die, he was going to lose his innocent life as well.


    But at this moment, Di Chen raised one of his hands, and shouted lightly into the air: "Stop!"


    The surrounding aura surged out crazily, and actually held the arrow in the air and did not move it at all.


    Everyone was dumbstruck, including Girl. They looked at Di Chen in disbelief, unable to comprehend what had just happened.


    They were not able to see the word ''immobilize'' flashing in Di Chen''s hands. All they knew was that with a light raise of Di Chen''s hand, he would be able to cause the arrow that was flying at them to remain motionless in the air.


    Di Chen slowly walked up, extended his hand and gently pulled the arrow that was locked in mid air, holding it in his hand, he chuckled: "You dare take out this kind of little thing to make a fool of yourself!"


    The three of them were all terrified. No one had expected Di Chen to attack in such a terrifying manner even though he could not see the fluctuations of vitality.


    Or could it be that Di Chen was too strong, and had hidden his own vitality?


    The three of them looked at each other and shouted, "Car!"


    With that, the three of them turned and ran. Di Chen sneered and bellowed, "Kill!"


    Just as he finished speaking, he drew a character for a cut in the air with one hand. This character immediately condensed into an endless Di Chen and transformed into a huge blade, with the thought of three people chopping down from the sky, a loud bang sounded, and a huge hole was formed in the ground. The three people''s bodies were cut into several sections, and a large amount of fresh blood sprayed out.


    With his current level 8 as a scholar, he could only release two formula s. That was why he did not hesitate to kill the three of them just now. If he continued to pester them, it was possible that he would die from the exhaustion of his words!


    But when his hand touched the three corpses, a scorching hot Qi surged into his arm frantically, following along the meridians in his arm and flowed into his body, finally entering into his chest and running all over. Di Chen''s face changed greatly, holding onto his chest, he retreated two steps, his face turning pale white.


    Just a moment ago, the two formula had almost used up all of their power of speech, and now, it was impossible to suppress the berserk energy in their chest.


    The impact of the energy made Di Chen roll his eyes, he collapsed weakly onto the ground, and fainted!


    His last thought before blurring his mind.


    It''s over! If I were to fall here, I would have an opportunity to die together with others. How can I possibly die without even knowing this!


    He was not dead. When he opened his eyes again, he was in a dark, damp cave. A pile of firewood was burning beside him.


    What happened to the previous situation?


    Di Chen opened his eyes and looked at the top of the cave, deep in thought. He suddenly remembered, when he killed the Blood Bead earlier, he had obtained a Pearl of Life and hid it inside his dantian. The role of Pearl of Life was to absorb the energy of all living things, convert it into its own, and at the same time refine its body.


    After those three people were killed by Di Chen''s "Slash" formula, they no longer had any signs of life, and completely became an ownerless energy in this world. At that time, Di Chen reached out to touch their corpses, and that energy took advantage of that time to enter his body.


    After thinking everything through, Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief!


    This Pearl of Life could be said to be a good item, but at the same time, it also hid a great disadvantage. The advantage was that it could help him quickly raise his cultivation. The disadvantage was that at times, he might be unable to absorb any energy that he could not control, and instead, suffer a backlash.


    "You''re awake?" Di Chen was still pondering when a clear voice suddenly came from the side.


    Di Chen was shocked, he turned to look, only to realize that it was the Girl who was being hunted down previously. He was holding a dead chicken in his hand, walking into the cave, and roasting it over the fire with a tree branch.


    "You saved me?" Di Chen asked suspiciously.


    When he fainted, there was no one around, the only thing that could save him was this Girl!


    "No, you saved me. If you hadn''t acted in time, I might already be dead." Girl said with a sweet smile. He was a pure and beautiful Girl.


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "You are called Qin Suer right? Why are they chasing you?"


    Qin Suer sat beside the fire, and watched the bonfire burn with a foolish expression. After a long while, he said: "I am the daughter of a doctor, and my father is called Qin Fusang. Originally, our lives were very peaceful, and also very peaceful. I escaped in time and was chased all the way here. "


    After Di Chen heard this, his frown deepened, "Then they must have a reason to chase you down, they wouldn''t kill innocent people for no reason at all right?!"


    Qin Suer smiled bitterly: "The reason they chased me is because of my family''s medical manual. Before my father died, they handed over the medical manual to me."


    "Father told me a long time ago that a man is innocent, but his wealth is his own sin. It is because of this medical book that we have been brought into a calamity!"


    The more Qin Suer spoke, the more grief she felt. However, after she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, and the sorrow on her face disappeared.


    He revealed a smile and said, "My father said that no matter what, do not fall into depression. What I need to do now is to protect this medical manual properly, then go back and take revenge. Kill all those thieves and take revenge for my father! "

 C13

    Qin Suer gnashed her teeth again.


    After a moment, he raised his head and asked Di Chen: "What about you? And why did you come to this Thousand Li Mountain Range? "


    It seemed that although Qin Suer had comforted her in her heart, she wasn''t very familiar with controlling her emotions. She would uncontrollably reveal her negative emotions.


    Di Chen shook his head and laughed: "I am in a similar situation as you, I was also framed by my clan. My closest family members were all slaughtered, and I was forced to enter this Thousand Li Mountain Range as a rogue, I plan to train myself here, and only return to take revenge after my strength increases."


    "Are you Di Chen? The seventh young master of the Di family? " Qin Suer asked in shock as he widened his watery eyes.


    Di Chen was also surprised: "You know me?"


    "Of course I know. Your matter has already spread throughout the entire city. Everyone is talking about how you raped your servant girl, and how you were kicked out of the family. They all call you a despicable, shameless, inhumane guy! " Qin Suer said in all seriousness.


    Di Chen said with downcast eyes: "Then do you think I''m that kind of person?"


    "Of course not!" Qin Suer immediately said with certainty: "I can see it from how you saved me. You''re kind in the bottom of your heart, why would you do something so immoral?"


    Di Chen exhaled, felt gratified and smiled: "Good, my body is fine now. I''ll send you down the mountain.


    "Do you want me to die?" Qin Suer opened her eyes wide.


    "What?" Di Chen did not understand.


    "The people at the foot of the mountain are all waiting for my life. They want my medical book. If I go down the mountain, I will not be courting death." Qin Suer said.


    "This ¡­" Di Chen also hesitated: "Then what do we do? I can''t leave you here, it''s no different than death. "


    Qin Suer''s eyes turned, and she smiled: "How about this, don''t you want to go into the mountains to cultivate? You want to fight against the demonic beast? If you are injured, I can treat you and you can protect me too, killing two birds with one stone! "


    Di Chen thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense. Otherwise, if something were to happen to him, no one would care about him, whether he was dead or alive.


    Therefore, he stood up and nodded, "Alright, then it''s decided. Let''s go. It''s still early today. We should be able to make it a bit further."


    Di Chen carried the bamboo basket on his back, avoided the bonfire, and left the cave with Qin Suer, heading deeper into the mountains.


    "Actually, you''re already very powerful. Could it be that you''re still unable to deal with your enemy?" The scene of Di Chen killing the three people in one strike was still fresh in Qin Suer''s mind, and it was the first time she had seen such a strong force.


    Di Chen said expressionlessly: "It''s still not enough, those guys are all experts in Lifestealer Realm. My strength alone isn''t enough. I must raise my strength within two months! "


    "So you''re saying you plan to stay here for two months?" Qin Suer asked.


    "Yes!" Di Chen nodded and did not say anymore.


    As he was walking, he suddenly saw trees in front of him whipping and sitting down, two wolves with black fur all over their bodies, who were half their height, rushed out, staring fiercely at Di Chen and, baring their fangs, dragging their mouths out, obviously they had been starved for a long time, and treated Di Chen and Qin Suer as food.


    "It''s Gemini Wolf!" Qin Suer was so scared that she hid behind Di Chen.


    Gemini Wolf, demonic beast of the fifth step. It was a common demonic beast.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen raised one hand, and an enormous power came out from his hand.


    With a wail, the two Gemini Wolves were instantly minced into bones, and the ground was covered with blood and flesh. Di Chen walked over, and when his hand touched the Gemini Wolf''s bones, a wave of energy rushed into his body. The Gemini Wolf''s flesh was even gone, leaving behind a pile of rotten bones.


    The life energy was directly absorbed by Di Chen, and the amount of energy being absorbed was not large. Di Chen could use the power of his words to easily resolve it.


    Qin Suer was dumbstruck, and asked in a daze: "What technique is this? "How could it absorb all the flesh and blood?"


    Di Chen turned around and smiled. "I don''t know either, I only know that this is called the Life Arts, and that absorbing it can help my physical strength increase."


    "So that''s how it is!" Qin Suer was still somewhat baffled: "Rumor has it that you don''t know how to cultivate, and don''t even have the slightest bit of martial strength, why are you so strong? Moreover, you don''t have any origin energy fluctuations on your body, just what is going on here? "


    Di Chen smiled faintly: "It''s best for you to know less. It''s not that I don''t want to tell you, it wouldn''t benefit you even if I did."


    "I got it!" Qin Suer pouted her pink lips and did not speak any further.


    On the same day, Di Chen brought Qin Suer into the deep mountains, and along the way, they killed a few demonic beast s. Their ranks were not high, and all of them were absorbed by Di Chen as energy to strengthen his body.


    At dusk, the two of them stepped into a small basin, surrounded by flowers and plants, extremely vibrant, lush and verdant, emanating a cool and fragrant scent. Di Chen raised his head to look at the red clouds on the horizon, which were gradually falling down.


    "Yes." Qin Suer nodded, she did not have much of an opinion.


    Di Chen put down the bamboo basket and started to chop trees and search for vines in the surroundings. It was only until night time did Di Chen finally build a wooden house.


    This could be considered the temporary residence of the two of them. In the future, he could let Qin Suer rest in this wooden hut and go out to kill demonic beast s.


    Di Chen made a lamp out of pine oil and lit it with flint. Then, he spread the paper on the table and started to practice.


    Qin Suer did not disturb Di Chen, she only observed the hut in curiosity, and was very satisfied. To a person who was being chased, being able to have such a warm and gentle house, caused his heart to calm down.


    As he wrote "fix" on the paper one after another, the power of speech in Di Chen''s body gradually increased. At the end, he was already very familiar with the word "fix". As he became more proficient at it, the power of speech in his body increased.


    After writing like this for the whole night, the tired Qin Suer had long fallen asleep on the wooden bed at the side.


    When Di Chen raised his head from the word "fix", the sky was already starting to brighten. Although he had not slept for the night, he was still particularly energetic.


    Seeing that Qin Suer was still asleep, Di Chen did not disturb him. She walked out of the hut alone, and after half an incense stick of time, she returned once again with the wild chicken and wild hare in her hands.


    Qin Suer had already woken up from her sleep, and started washing her face with dew, treating the food Di Chen brought back, and the two ate their fill.


    Di Chen got up and said: "I''m going out to cultivate today, stay here. I will first take care of all the demonic beast in the surrounding few kilometers.


    Qin Suer smiled and said, "You must be careful when you go out. Remember to bring some food back in the afternoon."


    Qin Suer had nothing to do, she took a look at the house to see if there was anything else that needed to be added, and after filling it up, she stayed in the house to take out the Medical Encyclopedia from her bosom, opening it to read from the first page.


    Day after day, the sun rose and set, and there was not much change in his daily life.


    The only thing that changed was the person!


    In the first ten days, Di Chen would always bring injuries back whenever he went out, and Qin Suer would constantly gather herbs to treat his injuries. But as time passed, the number of injuries on Di Chen became fewer and fewer, to the point where he basically wouldn''t be injured anymore. Qin Suer knew that Di Chen was getting stronger and stronger, or perhaps, he no longer needed her to treat his injuries in the future!


    But Qin Suer still did not relax, the herbs for treatment were fully prepared, no accidents were allowed to happen.


    A month later, on this morning, Di Chen walked out of the hut and stretched. The flowers and plants were still green and the things inside the hut were becoming more and more complete. He felt more and more at home. Sometimes, even Di Chen couldn''t help but think how great it would be if he could live a carefree life like this.


    However, it was obviously impossible. There were too many things waiting for him!


    "Are we going out to cultivate today as well?" Qin Suer who was at the side washing the fruits, smiled and asked Di Chen.


    Di Chen turned his head to look and was slightly absent-minded. Qin Suer was growing more and more beautiful, no, it should be said that she was a great beauty herself.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "No, I won''t be going out today. I have something to take care of."


    "No more breakfast?" Qin Suer asked.


    "I''ll eat when I get back!" Di Chen ascended a lawn at the back of the mountain and looked down from above. He could see the wooden house below as well as countless flowers and plants.


    His eyes flashed, without hesitation, he sat down on the lawn and took out a package from his bosom. Opening it, there were all sorts of different colored inner pellets of demonic beast, looking at these demonic beast inner pellets with emotionless eyes, he had already made his decision.


    During this month of cultivation, his martial artist level had already broken through to the highest level. At level ten, he was only a step away from reaching Lifestealer Realm. He felt that he couldn''t go on like this. It was very likely that he wouldn''t be able to break through to the Lifestealer Realm even after two months.


    He directly absorbed the energy from the demonic beast''s Orb into his body and borrowed it to break through the shackles.


    Although the risk was great, he had no other choice. There was not much time left!


    Holding his breath, with his head empty, Di Chen picked up a beast core and held it in his hands. He immediately felt a scorching hot power pulse through his arm tendons and into his body.


    Because he had not refined any of the energy before, after it entered his body, it became very violent. However, Di Chen was not in a hurry to refine it.


    His rate of absorption became faster and faster. In the end, almost as soon as he grabbed the beast core, it was absorbed ¡­


    This was not the end. The surrounding energy aura turned into wisps of white gas that drilled into his pores.


    Qin Suer, who was eating some fruits beside the house, noticed the change in her senses. A strange feeling arose in her heart, and when she raised her head to look at the mountain behind her, she was immediately dumbstruck, and opened her mouth in shock.

 C14

    Qin Suer saw that on the grassland on the hillside at the back, Di Chen was actually sitting cross-legged as a white light spot, absorbing the surrounding energy. The impact was especially large, and even a gust of violent wind was brought up from below, lifting up countless different colored petals.


    "What the hell is going on?" Qin Suer murmured to herself in a daze, and was completely unable to understand the abnormality that Di Chen was in.


    Because the situation was simply too scary. What happened to Di Chen? Was he about to ascend and become an immortal?


    Only Di Chen, the person involved, knew what happened.


    What he did not expect was that the appetite of the Pearl of Life that existed in his body was just too big. He seemed to be interested in absorbing the energy, and even if he wanted to stop absorbing it, the Pearl of Life would not allow it. Instead, it would absorb all the energy in his body even more intensely and crazily.


    However, this was impossible. If he continued like this, his body would explode from the immense energy. With his current strength, there was no way to suppress the wild and violent energy within his body.


    What should he do?


    His heart was burning with anxiety as the Pearl of Life continued to be absorbed.


    He could feel all the pores on his body bulging open, and his skin was in piercing pain. If someone were to get close, they would see that there were fine bloodstains oozing out from all over his body. He was blood-red, and his appearance was extremely terrifying.


    The intense pain was stimulating Di Chen''s nerves. He was already on the verge of collapse, and he let out a miserable scream.


    Miserable screams spread throughout the entire valley, startling countless demonic beast!


    Qin Suer naturally heard the scream too, her expression changed as she anxiously ran towards the back of the mountain.


    The flower petals that filled the sky were in a daze as she stared at the gale and climbed onto the lawn. The wind had stopped blowing and the flower petals that were engulfing the entire place had scattered.


    Di Chen could not return because he had already collapsed on the lawn and lost consciousness.


    Qin Suer was terrified when she saw the bloodied Di Chen. She probed Di Chen''s nose and determined that he was still breathing, then pulled Di Chen on her back. Carrying him on her back, she returned to the hut and laid him on the bed. She boiled some hot water and helped Di Chen bathe inside of the wooden barrel.


    Although she was blushing a little because she had stripped Di Chen of her clothes, for Di Chen''s safety, she couldn''t care about all this.


    She carefully wiped every inch of Di Chen''s skin, the more she wiped, the more astonished she became. She really didn''t think that even though Di Chen looked thin on the outside, after taking off his clothes, his muscles would also be so firm and sturdy. What made her even more surprised was that there were clear scars on Di Chen''s body. What exactly did he have to go through to leave such a deep scar?


    Those injuries were caused when one''s meridians were sealed, and they became the trash of a clan. Ever since father and mother disappeared, Di Chen suffered all kinds of bullying!


    To be able to survive was already a blessing in disguise, let alone these scars ¡­


    When Di Chen woke up, he had already changed into a clean set of clothes and laid inside the warm wooden hut.


    The pain in his body had already disappeared. However, when he thought of what happened at the back of the mountain on the lawn, he was still scared to the point that he broke out in a cold sweat.


    At that time, the Pearl of Life absorbed a huge amount of energy, and was about to burst his dantian. At the last moment, he hardened his heart and punched his dantian, the huge force caused his Qi to become chaotic, and all the energy was absorbed once again.


    If his reaction had been a little slower, at least his meridians would have been broken, and at the very least, his body would have been destroyed. Fortunately, he had successfully pulled himself out of the gates of hell.


    He did not have time to think about these things as he felt that something was very wrong outside. He sat up and looked outside. Although it was night time, the flames at the door were soaring to the sky.


    "What is this?" Di Chen walked over with a frown and asked.


    Qin Suer did not answer, but pointed at the valley below and said: "Look!"


    Di Chen looked down in confusion and immediately became dumbstruck. Inconceivable, hundreds of demonic beast s of all shapes and sizes crawled on the ground, countless of them, many of which he had never even seen before. All of them were entrenched in the valley, staring at Di Chen''s hut like tigers stalking their prey.


    "What the hell is going on?" Di Chen opened his eyes wide, unable to react in time.


    "I don''t know either!" Qin Suer shook his head in a daze: "Ever since that incident during the day, when I carried you back to the wooden house, demonic beast have been gathering in the valley below. Since then, there have been so many of them gathered, I started a fire to prevent them from getting close, but I don''t know when they will attack.


    Di Chen narrowed his eyes and remained silent. He guessed that these demonic beast were attracted by the Pearl of Life on his body.


    After all, he had snatched this thing from the demonic beast. Back then, when the snow pig had possessed this pearl, its strength had increased by leaps and bounds!


    These demonic beast were probably also lured by them.


    His gaze swept across all the demonic beast below him. Even though there were a lot of them, they were all low-leveled demonic beast with the strength of around the fifth stage.


    And after today''s matter, he had already broken through to the Lifestealer Realm. It would be easy for him to deal with these demonic beast!


    Instantly, the corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile, and he turned to Qin Suer and said: "Stay here, let me perform a good show for you."


    "What good show?" Qin Suer was puzzled.


    "It''s so beautiful!" Di Chen laughed as he jumped down the hill. He actually rushed towards over a hundred demonic beast by himself.


    "Di Chen? Di Chen! " Qin Suer anxiously shouted twice, but Di Chen didn''t even have the intention to turn back as he charged straight into the group of demonic beast.


    Qin Suer sat down in front of the hut in despair: "What are you doing? Are you crazy? How can a single person fight against so many demonic beast? If you die, what will happen to me? "


    Other than being his protector, Di Chen was also her pillar of support. Seeing Di Chen''s actions right now, it was really hard for her to understand.


    But right after, she was tongue-tied as she watched Di Chen crazily rush through the hundreds of demonic beast s. Countless of them were screaming as fresh blood splattered everywhere!


    "This guy, he''s really crazy!"


    Under the starry sky, Di Chen strutted among the hundred or so demonic beast, as if he was in a place devoid of people.


    "Freeze!" He let out a soft cry as he slightly raised a single hand. All the demonic beast in his line of sight were bound by the power of his words, and then, a large amount of flesh and blood was splattered all over the place. He didn''t even have the ability to struggle, only a series of miserable cries.


    Di Chen strolled leisurely, and after stepping into the Lifestealer Realm, the vitality in his dantian increased by a large amount, accompanied by an increase in his talking power. The dantian region was like a vast ocean, with endless energy coming from it, it was no longer a place where the two formula could draw energy from.


    Being able to seize the heaven and earth origin energy and extend one''s lifespan was not just for show!


    With a wave of his hand, the formula came out from his hand. With unstoppable force, its body flew into the air.


    In an instant, more than half of the hundreds of demonic beast had been killed by him. The rest of the demonic beast felt the imposing aura coming from Di Chen''s body and as if they were the powers of heaven and earth, they crawled on the ground and trembled in fear.


    In the end, these low level demonic beast did not have any intelligence, they were just beasts!


    The beasts only followed the law of the jungle, and when they met a strong existence, they would bow down to it.


    After being slaughtered, Di Chen lost interest. He waved his hands in boredom and bellowed: "You bunch of bastards, if you don''t want to die, hurry up and get lost."


    The group of demonic beast seemed to understand human speech, upon hearing this, they all turned to flee, as if they received amnesty.


    Di Chen smiled faintly and returned to the wooden house. Qin Suer stood there in a daze and looked at him: "Could it be that you have already broken through to the Lifestealer Realm?"


    Di Chen smiled, "Can you tell? It''s already very late so rest early. I don''t have much time left, I have already entered the Lifestealer Realm and will descend the mountain once two months have passed. "


    Qin Suer remained silent and did not say anything. Her expression could not be seen as well, and she only followed Di Chen into the hut.


    On the second day, Di Chen went out to kill demonic beast s and cultivate as usual. When he returned to his wooden house, Qin Suer happily came over to him with two black medicinal pellets in his hands. He said to Di Chen with a face full of anticipation: "Taste this, this is a medicinal pellet that I refined according to the medical code, it is very helpful in cultivation."


    Di Chen frowned, looking at the two black pills, he did not want to touch them, he was afraid that he would be poisoned to death.


    But he could not ruin Qin Suer''s mood!


    Therefore, he took the two pills and sat on the wooden bed. He opened his mouth and swallowed the two pills, then he closed his eyes and felt the pills in his body.


    This pill not only contained very little energy, it also contained a lot of impurities.


    After a moment, he opened his eyes and Qin Suer asked with expectation: "How is it? Is it working? "


    Di Chen revealed a smile: "It''s very hard to eat, the taste is very bitter."


    Qin Suer was depressed: "I''m not asking about that!"


    Di Chen continued to speak with a smile: "The effect is still pretty good, the fact that you succeeded your first time refining pills already shows that you have extraordinary talent, there is no rush, refining pills is different from training, you need to do it step by step, I believe that there will be a day when you become a world-famous alchemist in the Martial Region Continent."

 C15

    Di Chen had only said these words of encouragement, but he never thought that those words would actually be true.


    Of course, this was all in the future!


    At this time, when Qin Suer heard this, she was very happy, like a kid who had gotten candy. "Just you wait, I will make the best pills for you to cultivate."


    Di Chen smiled as he looked at Qin Suer. She was really a naive little girl, and hoped that Qin Suer could continue her pure and straightforward personality!


    He would protect this smile!


    In the following days, he continued to immerse himself in cultivation.


    Two months later, on this day, Di Chen said to Qin Suer who was fiddling with the medicinal ingredients: "Are you ready? Today, we are going to leave this ten thousand kilometer mountain. We have stayed here for such a long time, it''s time to return. "


    "Yes, I''m ready!" Qin Suer nodded her head obediently. Just like Di Chen, she carried a bamboo basket on her back.


    The two of them smiled at each other and walked out of the mountain, shoulder to shoulder.


    The surrounding demonic beast s that were at least several tens of kilometers were all killed by Di Chen in these past two months, so he did not encounter any obstructions on his way out of the mountain.


    Reaching the road at the foot of the mountain, Di Chen sighed with emotion as if he had lived in the deep mountains for a long time and had just seen the light for the first time.


    Two months had passed in the blink of an eye, but he hadn''t felt any changes since he had started cultivating on the mountain. However, he didn''t know about the situation with the Di Family, Elder Lin, Shang Yu, and Jun Wu Yi. Two months was enough time for too many things to happen!


    Just as they were prepared to follow the road back to the town, just at this time, Di Chen and Qin Suer suddenly felt their feet stepping on air, their bodies sinking down, falling into a big pit, causing the surrounding sand and dirt to tremble, and spill over the two people.


    How could there be a huge pit?


    It was clearly at the foot of the mountain, at the roadside!


    Di Chen looked up towards the cave mouth in doubt, and suddenly heard a burst of eerie laughter: "Aiya, my luck isn''t bad, I caught two little fellows, let me see what my prey looks like!"


    Under the sunlight, a young man wearing a blue shirt was squatting at the entrance to the cave.


    However, it was very clear that this hole was a trap planted by the youth!


    "What do you want?" Di Chen squinted his eyes and asked coldly.


    "It''s very simple. What do you want the Hunters to do?" "Of course it''s for the spoils of war." The young man had a face full of smiles as he chuckled.


    "The two of you just came down from the mountain. You must have a lot of useful things on you, right? Leave it to me, and I''ll let you out." Otherwise, if I throw the knife and the stone, you will all die without a doubt. " The youth''s smile turned cold.


    Di Chen was expressionless as he said indifferently: "We don''t have anything, so your way of doing this is unnecessary."


    "Impossible!" The young man squinted his eyes and said resolutely, "Trying to trick me won''t be that easy. I said you don''t have anything, but who do you think you are? Throw them up here. "


    Di Chen frowned, and took down the basket on his back. At the same time, he asked Qin Suer beside him for the bamboo basket, but Qin Suer resisted and said: "No, I won''t give this thing to me, it''s very useful to me."


    Di Chen smiled: "Don''t worry, it will be useful to you, and useless to him. What he wants isn''t these things."


    "Really?" Qin Suer was half believing and half suspecting before she put down the bamboo basket on her back. Di Chen picked up the two bamboo baskets and threw them at the cave entrance with all his might. Although this hole was four or five meters tall, Di Chen, who had already stepped into the Lifestealer Realm, possessed immense power and easily threw the bamboo basket inside.


    The young man caught the bamboo basket, not caring about Di Chen''s strength, and only opened the basket quickly and urgently. But when he clearly saw what was inside, his face darkened, and he said with a frown: "You guys only have these things? "Don''t tell me you found this piece of paper on the mountain and brought it down?"


    Di Chen smiled and said: "Of course not, I brought them up. I can give them to you if you want."


    "Bastard!" The young man was flustered and exasperated. He kicked the two bamboo baskets to the side and angrily shouted, "Who wants these things from you? I''m warning you, don''t play any tricks on me. I will really kill you." Hurry up and take off your clothes, and throw them over to me, I don''t believe that there''s nothing of value here. "


    The smile on Di Chen''s face disappeared, and his eyes became ice-cold: "Don''t push your luck!"


    "Aiya, brat, what''s with your attitude? Haven''t you figured out the situation? "It seems like I need to teach you a lesson." The young man was so angry that he stomped his feet and cursed. He turned around and was about to carry the stone.


    But at this moment, Di Chen lightly raised his hand and pulled back with one hand. The young man retreated a few steps back as though he was pulled by a huge force and fell into a large hole, and hurriedly got up, only to discover that Di Chen was standing right in front of him. He awkwardly patted his bottom: "The ground is too slippery, and he actually couldn''t stand steadily and fell in.


    Di Chen was expressionless: "Are you clear on your situation now?"


    The young man''s expression did not look too good. He laughed dryly, "That''s right. Since we''re all in the same situation now, why don''t we all work together and think of a way to climb up? We''re all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so let''s not kill each other. "


    "How ignorant!" Di Chen snorted, he extended his hand and wrapped it around Qin Suer''s waist, and with a stomp on the wall, he leaped into the air, leaving a big hole.


    The young man looked up, dumbstruck. Only now did he realize that he had provoked an incredible figure!


    Fortunately, the other party had not bothered with him, or the consequences would have been dire.


    After leaving the large hole, Di Chen loosened the shy and slightly flushed Qin Suer, reached out to grab the bamboo basket, and carried it on her back once again.


    The young man in the cave raised his head and shouted, "Brother, save me! I can''t let someone kill me here right? I apologize for the previous matter, but can you save me? "


    In just the blink of an eye, their characters had been switched. The young man was completely dumbfounded.


    But no matter how much he yelled, Di Chen didn''t even turn his head to look back. He walked forward along the main road with Qin Suer who was carrying a bamboo basket on her back.


    After a short while, the young man used some unknown method to crawl out of the cave, and quickly followed Di Chen and Qin Suer. He shamelessly giggled and said: "The two of you, I apologize for the previous matter seriously, I also did such a thing because I was in a daze. My name is Xu Qian, let''s get to know each other, we''re friends. "


    On the other hand, Qin Suer turned her head and curiously looked at him.


    Seeing that there was hope, Xu Qian smiled at Qin Suer: "Miss, I see that you are naturally beautiful and extremely beautiful, a rare beauty. You definitely have a kind heart and a kind heart, and would not bother about such a small matter. What''s your name? Shall we be friends? "


    After being praised, Qin Suer was happy, but just as she was about to speak, Di Chen suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Xu Qian: "This is not the first time you''ve done that, you must have already gotten used to using such skilled techniques. "Let me tell you, I''ve already given you a lot of face not killing you. Hurry up and scram, don''t make a move against me."


    Xu Qian shut his mouth tightly, unable to say a single word. His expression was extremely dejected.


    In fact, he couldn''t understand it either. His traps had all been tried and tested. As long as a hunter fell into his trap, he would be able to slaughter any fish on the chopping board. Furthermore, he would always be able to obtain items of considerable value. Who would have thought that he would fail this time and be caught off guard by this unknown fellow.


    But who exactly was this kid? Why are they so powerful at such a young age? Those two moves just now should at least have the strength of a Fighter 8-9!


    Although Xu Qian was scared stiff by Di Chen''s aura, he was not scared away, and continued to follow behind Di Chen. It was just that he did not have the guts to speak anymore.


    As he walked through the city gate and into the streets, he saw extremely lively people walking in and out. Di Chen felt like it hadn''t been a long time since he last saw people, but it felt like a long time since he last saw them.


    He brought Qin Suer into a nearby restaurant. He planned to go down the mountain and have a hearty meal before planning out what he should do next.


    Naturally, Xu Qian shamelessly followed them!


    After sitting down in the restaurant, Di Chen asked Qin Suer: "Su''er, you said before that you were being chased. Are those people in this city? "What kind of force is it? Are you going to take revenge first or follow me back to the Di Family?"


    Qin Suer shook her head and laughed bitterly: "How can I take revenge with my little strength? I think it''s better for me to follow Big Brother Di Chen back. Your affairs are also very complicated, if anything happens, I can take care of you. "


    Di Chen smiled and said, "Don''t worry, since you are unable to take revenge, I will naturally help you. For now, unless those old monsters in the city attack, no one can stop me."


    Just as he finished speaking, Qin Suer''s face suddenly turned pale white, her eyes filled with fear, and she immediately hid behind Di Chen, frightened and dodging, like a little rabbit who was frightened. Di Chen grew suspicious and looked in the direction that Qin Suer was scared, suddenly she saw a group of big sized men entered the restaurant, all of them had large swords and swords hanging around their waists, they had a imposing manner, a domineering attitude, and were all extremely arrogant.


    "These are your pursuers?" Di Chen frowned and asked Qin Suer.


    Qin Suer was so afraid that she did not dare say anything, and only nodded her head slightly!


    The corner of Di Chen''s mouth hooked up into a smile, and he said with a smile: "Don''t be afraid, just sit here, and none of them will dare to touch you."


    Then, he turned to Xu Qian who was following him and said, "Didn''t you want to be friends with me? "As long as you help me teach this bunch of people a lesson, I''ll be willing to be your friend."


    "What?" When Xu Qian, who had his head lowered, heard these words, he was very surprised. He turned around and looked at the group of people, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, as he said with an unsightly expression, "Big brother, can you not make things difficult for me? It looks like they aren''t good people, and they aren''t weak either. Isn''t it courting death for you to ask me to go and provoke them? "

 C16

    "Are you going?" Fierce Eyes narrowed his eyes and shouted.


    Xu Qian jumped up in shock and he stood up abruptly. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I''ll go right now, but if anything happens, you must help me."


    Xu Qian slowly walked towards those overbearing guys, his eyes quickly turning as his thoughts quickly turned. Those people were drinking wine, laughing loudly, and were very straightforward. After Xu Qian walked closer, he whispered to one of the big man who seemed to be the leader: "Someone said that your group of people are all trash!"


    "What?" The brawny man suddenly flew into a rage. He extended his hand and grabbed Xu Qian''s collar, pulling him in front of him. He glared at him ferociously and shouted, "If you dare, say what you just said again."


    Xu Qian was so scared that his lips trembled as he hurriedly said, "I didn''t say that. It''s that guy over there. He said that you''re all trash, and none of you are his match."


    Xu Qian pointed at Di Chen who was seated on the table!


    The sturdy man turned his head and looked at Di Chen fiercely, and shouted: "Really?"


    Xu Qian quickly added, "Of course it''s true. He was the one who told me to come over and tell you that you are all trash!"


    "Bastard." The sturdy man slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Brothers, attack!"


    A group of people stood up as well, looking extremely aggressive.


    Seeing that the fuse had already been ignited, the corner of Xu Qian''s mouth hooked up into a smile, and silently retreated to the entrance, coldly watching everything that was happening. If Di Chen wanted to plot against him, he would naturally do so.


    He wanted to be friends with Di Chen with such good intentions. It was fine if Di Chen ignored him, but he actually teased him like that, this was the result!


    When Qin Suer saw the group of people approaching her, she was so scared that she did not dare raise her head. Her body trembled uncontrollably and her fists were clenched tightly, the culprit who killed her father was right in front of her, but even though she did not have the ability, she could not do anything about it.


    "Brat, you''re the one who spoke so arrogantly and called us trash?" The big sized man smashed the blade in his hand onto Di Chen''s table, producing a loud bang.


    Di Chen turned his head, his gaze passing through the crowd, and saw Xu Qian at the door watching the show with a smile on his face.


    He smiled and said, "That''s right, you are all trash. What do you think? Do you have any objections?"


    "Damn thing, today I will let you know who is the real trash!" The group of men were enraged, they all raised their weapons and started to fiercely attack Di Chen.


    The restaurant was instantly thrown into chaos as a bloody battle occurred. They didn''t want to be caught in the crossfire. Most of the customers were so scared that they scrambled out of the restaurant.


    All the weapons were just about to land on Di Chen''s head, and at that moment, Di Chen raised his right hand and shouted: "Stay!"


    Then, a white light flashed from the center of his palm as the formula flew out, locking everything in place. He could not move at all, only his eyes that were rolling around in disbelief.


    These people only had the strength of level seven and eight martial artists. Gathering together seemed to be not a small amount of strength, but in front of Di Chen, who had already stepped into the Lifestealer Realm, they were like ants that couldn''t even withstand a single blow. After locking the formula in place, Di Chen shouted loudly, "Scram!"


    With a wave of his hand, a group of people was sent flying out of the restaurant by the tremendous amount of energy in his hand. They landed on the street outside the restaurant, spitting out blood as they raised their heads in a daze.


    What kind of power was this? What kind of strength?


    Just the strength of one palm strike had sent everyone flying. This was too terrifying!


    Under countless gazes of disbelief, Di Chen slowly stood up with Qin Suer. The faces of the people outside the restaurant were filled with panic, the leading guy anxiously shouted: "Stop right there, whoever moves, I''ll kill them!"


    Some people were too scared to take his words to heart, and kept on running away.


    "Truly courting death!" Di Chen raised his hand again, and a surge of energy swept out, killing the escaping person on the spot.


    This time, everyone was truly scared, no one thought that Di Chen would kill people so easily, and in front of everyone''s eyes, he was actually so ruthless!


    His legs could not help but tremble. Di Chen walked over and grabbed the leader of the strong man and asked: "Do you still recognize the person beside me?"


    The strong man turned his head and looked at Qin Su carefully. Then he shook his head blankly. "I don''t know him."


    That''s right, more than two months had passed already, so these people should also have been ordered to kill two months ago, how could they possibly remember Qin Suer''s appearance?


    But Qin Suer was already clenching her fists in anger, she clenched her teeth, and her eyes revealed overflowing hatred and rage!


    How could she forget her hatred for the annihilation of her clan? Her goal these past few days was to get revenge. To personally kill all of her enemies.


    Now that her enemy was right in front of her, her hands were shaking, and she couldn''t even hold her weapon steady.


    Di Chen reached out his hand, a warm hand grasping Qin Suer''s fist. He calmed his emotions and then said coldly to the muscular man in front of him: "I can''t remember so quickly, Su''er''s family was killed by you two months ago. "It''s not that simple."


    "She?" The sturdy man stared at Qin Suer with his huge eyes and said in a daze: "She is the girl that we have been looking for all this while?"


    Di Chen laughed coldly, "You remembered it? "Very well, so I should get what I deserve by killing all of you right now!"


    "Don''t ¡­" The burly man''s expression immediately became unsightly as he took two steps back in fear and waved his hands nonstop, "Big brother, don''t kill us. We are only being ordered to take money from people and get rid of them. It really has nothing to do with us. Let us go, I promise I won''t do such a thing again! "


    Di Chen took a step forward, and fiercely slapped the man in the face, and shouted: "I told you not to move a bit, didn''t you understand? Try again and see if you can survive two seconds of my life. "


    Di Chen''s slap was extremely powerful, the sturdy guy was smashed into the ground, half of his face was bloodied, the corner of his mouth was bleeding, he spat out two broken teeth, but he did not have any resistance at all, he just lied there on the ground, not daring to move at all.


    Di Chen stepped on the sturdy man''s back and coldly snorted: You want to live? "If you want to live, you can tell me who ordered you. This is the only way for you to live."


    The sturdy man trembled and said loudly: "I say, big brother, I say, the people who are commanding us are from the Jun Family, and they are the biggest families in the city. It really has nothing to do with us." We will not kill someone for no reason. Big Brother, you have to believe me, I won''t dare to do it again! "


    The man said miserably. Even his tears had started to fall.


    "Cry, cry your ass, a man is still pissing on a horse, scram!" Di Chen kicked the sturdy man''s head, how could the sturdy man endure such a kick, he was immediately kicked until he fainted, he could not even scram if he wanted to, he was only carried away by someone else.


    "Why should I release them? I want to kill them all, kill them all, and avenge my father!" Qin Suer clenched her teeth, the anger in her eyes, her entire body trembling, her excitement obvious.


    Di Chen opened his arms and held Qin Suer in her embrace, then gently said: "It''s fine, don''t be agitated, it''s fine. It''s useless killing them now, the most important thing is to find the person behind the scenes to take revenge. "That guy is from the Jun Family. I won''t easily let him bypass the Jun Family!"


    "And that Jun Wu Yi!" Di Chen''s eyes shot out two cold gazes.


    In the past, Jun Wu Yi had bullied him in every way possible, and Di Chen had long harbored hatred in his heart, but now, he had actually done such a thing; how could this kind of bastard be forgiven so easily?


    Qin Suer''s emotions, which were in Di Chen''s embrace, gradually calmed down.


    At the side, Xu Qian was sneaking away when Di Chen turned his head and shouted: "Xu Qian, where do you want to go? Didn''t you want to be my friend? "


    Xu Qian''s footsteps froze in midair, and he turned his head to smile at Di Chen: "No, I saw that Big Brother is tired from fighting. I want to buy some water for you, I''m thinking for your sake. I didn''t expect you to be so formidable that not many experts could withstand a single move of yours. But then again, do you really want to be friends with me? "


    Xu Qian laughed as he spoke, retreating at the same time, as if he didn''t want to get any closer to Di Chen.


    Di Chen released Qin Suer who was in her embrace, and jumped over with two steps. She placed her hand on Xu Qian''s shoulder, and used some strength to pinch Xu Qian''s shoulder, causing it to make "ka ka" sounds. At the same time, she said with a smile: "I''m not thirsty yet, so don''t be in a hurry to buy water. You did a pretty good job just now, yet you were the one to stir up trouble. You really did start something up. But what did you say to those people? "


    The pain in his shoulder made Xu Qian grimace in pain. He forced a smile and said, "I said they are a bunch of trash, right? In front of big brother, if those people aren''t trash, then what are they? "He''s simply too weak to withstand a single blow."


    "What about you? Are you trash? " Di Chen smiled playfully.


    Xu Qian said with a flattering smile, "Yes, I''m also trash. In front of big brother, everyone is trash!"


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "Don''t come too close, don''t think that I don''t know about this. You were just planning to use those people to teach me a lesson just now, that''s why you have been hiding at the side and not interfering. This is what you should do as a friend!"


    Xu Qian replied seriously, "Of course not, I just think that it''s enough for you to deal with them alone. I don''t even need to do anything." Instead, it took away your chance to show yourself, right! "


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "Alright, you brat, since you have a spring in your mouth, you can say whatever you want with a bunch of reasons. "I am going to the Di Family now. Since you are my friend, come with me!"


    "To the Di Family? What is it? " Xu Qian opened his eyes wide and had an expression of disbelief.

 C17

    Di Chen did not explain, he only brought Qin Suer and walked towards the Di Clan''s residence. Xu Qian had no choice but to follow, because he knew that if he was disobedient, Di Chen killing him would be as easy as killing an ant.


    Di Chen had already calculated the time. In two days, the Di Family''s fighting competition would start. Someone who could win the championship and get the first place would be qualified to become the next Di Family''s Family Head. Ever since his parents had disappeared,, the successor, worked hard all these years just to cultivate his eldest son, Di Long, into the new Family Head. That way, even if he didn''t have the clan chief''s keepsake, he could still force his son to succeed the throne.


    But Di Chen would not let Di Dao''s conspiracy succeed, this was the reason he was coming back!


    Defeat Di Long and destroy the entire plan, so that the Di Family would not fall into Di Dao''s hands.


    Bringing Qin Suer and Xu Qian, they returned to Elder Lin Ming''s residence. It was still quiet and cold, with not many people going in or out, and there were even a few servants.


    After entering the courtyard, Di Chen went around everywhere to look for Lin Ming, but he did not see him even after walking around a few rooms.


    When he reached the corridor, he met a drunken man with disheveled hair and a sorry figure, who reeked of alcohol, sleeping soundly on the floor.


    Di Chen did not care much at first, maybe one of the servants was drunk and was lying there, he took a casual glance at it, but after seeing it, he was stunned, his eyes widened as he stood there, staring at the drunk man below, carefully at his appearance, if he was not mistaken, this was Elder Lin''s son, Lin Tao.


    After all, Lin Tao was still a young master, and his cultivation wasn''t weak at all. How could he have fallen drunk here and become so dispirited?


    Di Chen anxiously squatted down and shook him non-stop: "Lin Tao, Lin Tao, wake up, how did you end up like this? Where''s your father? I couldn''t find it for a long time. "


    When a person gets drunk, they will wake up eventually. When Lin Tao woke up, he was surprised to see Di Chen, but the expression on his face did not change much. He walked to the pond in the courtyard and washed his face with water, exhaling deeply and looking at Di Chen: "You came back, I thought you were dead, and disappeared without a trace."


    Di Chen turned his head and looked at the cold and deathly still Lin Family estate, and asked with furrowed brows: "What exactly happened here? Tell me about it. "


    Lin Tao didn''t say a word. Instead, he immediately took off his shirt.


    Qin Suer blushed and turned her head.


    Lin Tao turned around with his back facing Di Chen, and immediately saw a black palm print on Lin Tao''s back. Di Chen stared with wide eyes, unable to say a word.


    Lin Tao pulled up his clothes, and turned to look at Di Chen coldly: "Did you see that? This was hit by Di Dao, who shattered all of my meridians with a single palm, I am now just a trash who cannot cultivate. Not only that, he had also lured my father into the Di Family together with several other elders, and then he launched a siege on my father, severely wounded my father, and locked him up in the Sky Prison. He announced that he had framed my father for rebellion, wantonly killing members of the Di Family, and so he wounded my father and locked him up. But I know very well that my father didn''t do anything. They only used this as an excuse to force your hand. "


    "And the palm strike I received was when I was going to demand an explanation. It was when I saved my father that I was struck by Di Dao!"


    "Bastard!" After hearing these words, Di Chen''s eyes widened, he had never thought that Di Dao would be so venomous, to actually do such a malicious thing to Elder Lin.


    Clenching his fists tightly and gritting his teeth, Di Chen suddenly turned and walked out.


    "Where are you going?" Lin Tao asked coldly from behind him.


    Di Chen said coldly: "Where can I go? Of course I''ll go find Di Dao and fight him to the death. No matter what, I have to save Elder Lin, how can I let him do whatever he wants? "


    "Come on!" Lin Tao let out a deep laugh, "What''s the use of you going like this? It''s purely to court death, do you think you can win against Di Dao? Maybe you can''t even win against Di Long. "


    Di Chen clenched his teeth, and said angrily: "Do you want me to just watch the tragedy happen?"


    Lin Tao coldly said, "Do you know why my father fell to this state? When Di Dao and his men made a move against my father, my father did not retaliate, nor did he avoid them. Instead, he suffered seven palm strikes on the spot, to the point where he vomited blood and didn''t say a single word. If you send yourself to my doorstep like this, will you be beholden to my father? "


    His words were so excited that he couldn''t help but take a few steps forward, saliva flying from his mouth.


    Di Chen stared at Lin Tao in a daze. After a long while, he slowly calmed down and said slowly: "No matter what, I have to go to the Di Clan today, because I have decided to participate in the Clan Competition in two days'' time. So even if I have to participate, I will still go."


    "Fine, if you want to go, I''ll go with you!" Lin Tao gritted his teeth and said decisively.


    Thus, the four of them went out to the Di Family.


    It was a sunny day today, and she had been cooped up at home for an entire morning. It was time for her to go out and take a walk, the last time she saw that little lady from the Zhongyu Flower Hall was pretty good, full of energy, so she definitely had to go and have a good time today.


    But right at this moment, Di Long saw a familiar figure walk over towards him. He looked at it carefully and suddenly mocked: "Lin Tao, you dare to come? Don''t you know you''re a cripple now? Looking at your current appearance, even as a beggar, you''re still trying to degrade me. Haven''t I spanked you for a long time, your skin is itchy, and you want to take two of my punches? "


    "The one looking for you is me, Di Long. With an ice-cold voice, Di Chen slowly walked out from behind Lin Tao and stared coldly at Di Long.


    "It''s you!" Di Long frowned in shock.


    "I thought you were dead, but you''re not dead? Where did you run off to during this time? " Di Long could not hold back and laughed.


    Di Chen asked coldly: "Where is Di Dao? I want to find him! "


    "Trash, what qualifications do you have to call my father directly by his name?" Di Long roared, he jumped down the stairs and clenched his fist, aiming it at Di Chen''s head.


    On the contrary, Di Long felt a huge force being transmitted from his arm, causing his one of his arms to become extremely numb. He looked up at Di Chen in shock: "You, you can block a punch from me? "That''s impossible!"


    However, before he could finish speaking, Di Chen had already grabbed his arm, and fiercely flung him up. His entire body flipped in a circle, and smashed onto the floor on the other side.


    A loud sound echoed out!


    Di Long''s body heavily smashed onto the floor, and even the floor was smashed into pieces. As the cracks spread in all directions, Di Long coughed out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale as he looked at Di Chen.


    It was hard to believe that a trash who could not even withstand a single punch from Di Chen two months ago, would actually become this powerful in just two months, and could easily injure him severely. Moreover, he had made progress in the last two months. He had broken through from Fighter 7-dan to Fighter 9-dan, and his Lifestealer Realm was only a step away.


    Even with such strength, he still could not block one move from Di Chen!


    What was going on?


    Di Chen looked coldly at Di Long, and said: "You are not my opponent, and I am too lazy to settle my past debts with you, now that I am going to look for Di Dao, if you think you can stop me, you can stand up and try again!"


    Di Long was dumbstruck, then sneered with gritted teeth: "Don''t think that I don''t know what happened. You did it for Lin Ming, right? Let me tell you, even if you win against me, trash will still be trash in the end. You are courting death! "


    Lin Tao also felt that it was inconceivable for Di Chen to defeat Di Long in one move, but he quickly reacted and walked over to Di Long''s body and kicked him twice. Now you''ve been beaten like a dog, get up again! "


    Di Long''s gaze was vicious, he extended his hand and grabbed Lin Tao''s leg, causing Lin Tao to fall onto the ground, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Trash, do you really think I can''t do anything to you?"


    Then, he rushed forward and ferociously punched towards Lin Tao''s head.


    Lin Tao''s eyes narrowed. He didn''t have the slightest bit of cultivation at the moment, so there was no way for him to resist!


    Just as his fist was about to land on Lin Tao''s head, Di Long was once again sent flying far away.


    Di Chen continued to walk towards the Di Clan.


    When the people at the door saw this scene, they did not dare to stop them at all. All of them stepped aside and blankly watched Di Chen walk in.


    Behind him were Lin Tao, Qin Suer, and Xu Qian!


    Before even entering the hall, he had already seen Di Dao''s burly and burly figure standing at the door. His gaze was focused on Di Chen as he grinned and said: "You''re here, I''ve been waiting for you for a long time!"


    Di Chen sneered: "What are you waiting for me for? Waiting for my life? Unfortunately, it''s not that simple. "


    Di Chen smiled slightly: "When the time comes, you will know. The plan that you have been planning for for for a long time might even come to an end by me. Aren''t you afraid? "


    Di Dao laughed loudly: "What plan, I completely do not understand it, but I have to tell you, no one can stop me, Di Dao, from doing what I want to do, you, do not have the qualifications!"

 C18

    Step by step, he comprehended them. Once he touched the threshold of the Martial King Realm, he would be able to break through the Heavenly Barrier, and step into the Martial King Realm of a monarch in one fell swoop.


    How strong the Martial King Realm was could be seen from the rarity of the Martial King realm!


    There were no more than ten Martial Kings in the entire Ling''an City, and he could count them with his fingers. Other than those old people in the family, there was also another Martial King expert who was the City Lord of the Ling''an City, who had grown up and stayed in her mansion, never going out. No one would be able to stop him once she attacked, and everyone would have to submit to him.


    Of course, there was another exception!


    No one knew what kind of monster the Shang family raised that was deep and unfathomable. Even the city lord had to give the Shang family some face, if not, if the Shang family were to erupt, the Ling''an City would not count for much, and may even be headed towards the prehistoric city that was thousands of miles away.


    It was a little far!


    Right now, there were two reasons why Lin Ming''s mental state was unstable. One was because of Di Chen''s departure, and the other was because of the impending competition within the clan.


    He could not participate in this competition, but he had to rely on his own son Lin Tao to win. He was truly worried, if only Di Chen did not leave, then even if Di Chen did not, he might not be Di Long''s opponent.


    At that time, would have victory in the battle, and the entire Di Family would fall into Di Dao''s hands!


    He was not anxious about this.


    Just at this time, a servant ran over quickly from outside and pushed open the door to the room. He spoke to Lin Ming anxiously: "Master, it''s bad, Family Head has sent someone over to look for you. The person that was sent is waiting right at the door! "


    Lin Ming put down the brush in his hand, and smiled: "You''re just looking for me, that''s all. "Tell that person to wait, I''ll go change his clothes!"


    "Alright." The servant acknowledged, then turned around and left.


    Lin Ming went back to his room and changed into a straight black robe. He walked outside the door and saw that the person Di Dao sent was a servant unknown to the Di Family. He sneered: "This Di Dao is really interesting, he doesn''t put me in his eyes at all.


    Then, he turned around and ran away.


    Lin Ming stood on the plaza without moving an inch, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy and gloomy under the sunlight.


    This Di Dao had such arrogance, he actually made him wait in the plaza, completely not putting him, an elder, in his eyes.


    Not long after, Di Dao brought three or four people and laughed heartily. He walked towards him in large strides and laughed loudly: "Elder Lin, how have you been? I haven''t seen you for a long time, how have you been!"


    Lin Ming sneered, "Thanks to you, I was able to eat well and sleep well."


    He kept staring at the four people behind Di Dao. Among them, two of them he recognized that they were elders from the Di Clan, and two of them were people he had never seen before.


    "Alright, as long as you sleep soundly, but I haven''t been able to sleep soundly these past few days. Elder Lin Ming, do you know the reason behind this?" Di Dao suddenly stopped smiling and stared at Lin Ming as he asked.


    Lin Ming laughed: "Of course there''s a reason why you can''t sleep well. You must have done too many bad things, or else you wouldn''t have ended up like this. However, I advise you to be more careful when you sleep in the future, so that the people who died in your hands don''t turn into evil spirits and steal your life! "


    "Lin Ming!" Di Dao shouted angrily: "I am speaking nicely to you, and you don''t know what''s good for you. I am giving you face before calling you Elder Lin. Do you know why you are unwelcome and cannot live in the Di family? Just because you are a bastard, and you don''t believe in me, I didn''t know that the previous Family Head was blind with that one eye, and actually let a bastard like you be an elder of the Di Family. "


    Lin Ming''s eyes flashed a hint of grief. This was a knot in his heart forever, he was an orphan who was about to freeze to death on the street. He was brought back to the Di Clan by his previous Family Head for adoption, which meant that he was Di Chen''s grandfather. After that, he finally had a stable life and an opportunity to cultivate.


    He trained harder than anyone. Although it was a bit late, with this hard work and talent, he became one of the top talents in the new generation in the Di family.


    While the other warriors were struggling, he had already stepped into the Lifestealer Realm, and was not a match for any of the Di Family''s new generation!


    No one would have thought that the most outstanding person in the Di family was actually an outsider. Therefore, his eye-catching performance had attracted the jealousy of many people.


    Being provoked by countless people, he had frequently fought in the Di Family, but no one could beat him!


    In the end, the previous Family Head really could not take it anymore. He had no choice but to arrange him to live outside, and also live with Di Chen''s father. Thus, Lin Ming often said that he saw Di Chen grow up, and the words he said were not lies.


    Originally, with his cultivation level and strength, he had a high chance of becoming the next Family Head, but because of his unknown origin, he lost all the opportunities he should have.


    However, he had never complained before. To be able to keep the dead alive was already the greatest blessing!


    Of course, it wasn''t that he didn''t care, but his identity had always been a pain in his heart. Until now, he still didn''t know who his real parents were.


    However, today was an exception. With Di Dao''s overbearing attitude and his provocative words, Lin Ming could only shake his head slightly: "If the reason why you called me here was to speak of such rubbish, then I''m sorry, but I''m unable to accompany you."


    With that, Lin Ming turned and left!


    But just as he took two steps, Di Dao shouted from behind him: "Stand still, Lin Ming, are you still putting me, this Family Head, in your eyes? I''m telling you, the reason I called you here today was to ask you if you know where your master is. "


    "My master?" Lin Ming suddenly turned his head, his calm face could not help but have an intense change, he frowned and asked: "What did you say? My master is back? "Where is he?"


    Lin Ming asked urgently.


    His master was Di Chen''s grandfather, Di Tian. As the former Family Head, with an outstanding cultivation, had already reached the Martial King Realm. However, after Di Chen''s father disappeared, Di Tian also disappeared, and no one knew of his whereabouts. All these years, Lin Ming had been sending people to investigate about him, but he did not reap any rewards.


    Di Dao sneered: "Don''t play dumb with me. Now that Di Tian has returned, his first goal is definitely to find you. How can you not know? Is Di Tian hiding in your house right now? "


    Lin Ming, who could still endure it in the beginning, suddenly became angry and shouted angrily: "Di Dao, shut up. You don''t have the qualifications to call me master by his full name. I''ll tell you, tell me where my master is now. "Otherwise, even if I were to risk my life today, I won''t let you off."


    Di Dao deeply furrowed his brows, turned around and looked at the two weird looking guys and said, "It seems that this guy really does not know the whereabouts of Di Tian."


    The two of them looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Fine, we''ll continue to go out and scout. Don''t let off any news, we can''t let that old man wander around outside, that old man isn''t an ordinary person. If we give him a chance to make a comeback, you won''t have a good time either."


    "I know!" Di Dao nodded his head gravely.


    The two of them turned around and left.


    Lin Ming was already unable to wait any longer. Taking a step forward, he grabbed Di Dao''s clothes, and furiously shouted: "Di Dao, quickly tell me, where is my master?"


    "Scram!" Di Dao pushed Lin Ming away, straightened his clothes, and said coldly: "You don''t know Di Tian''s whereabouts, so you should know Di Chen''s whereabouts. Didn''t you save him? You should know his whereabouts very well. Say it, tell me where Di Chen is and I''ll let you leave this place safely today.


    "Oh, I see!" Lin Ming took two steps back. His expression sank and once again became calm and tranquil.


    "Although I don''t know why you want to ask me these things, I won''t tell you anything." Lin Ming turned around and left expressionlessly.


    "Want to leave?" It''s not that easy! " Di Dao coldly snorted, stepped forward and slapped Lin Ming''s back with a palm.


    Lin Ming was forced to take two steps back, his face flushed red, but he did not turn back as he continued to walk forward.


    After Di Dao struck his palm, he immediately jumped backwards in a hurry to guard against Lin Ming.


    Lin Ming was the top warrior in the Di Family, and was also one of the top amongst the elders.


    However, when he saw that Lin Ming still did not retaliate after getting beaten up, his eyes immediately turned dark and stern. "Bastard, you really don''t put people in your eyes, didn''t you?


    Di Dao roared, he once again rushed forward, and continuously struck Lin Ming six times, with one palm becoming fiercer than the other.


    After six palm strikes, Lin Ming spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unconscious!


    Di Dao watched on coldly.


    The two elders behind him could not bear it any longer, they came forward and said: "Family Head, your actions are too ruthless, even Elder Lin did not retaliate."


    "Shut up!" Di Dao turned around and shouted angrily, "Do the two of you want to end up in the same fate as him? If not, then obediently carry him to my Heavenly Saber Prison and lock him up. "


    This way, Lin Ming was trapped in the Sky Prison!


    At the entrance of the great hall, Di Dao stood on the stairs as his pupils contracted. He stared at Di Chen and snorted coldly, "Looks like you''re really confident. Today, let me see what you have learnt."


    With that, he rose into the air and punched towards Di Chen''s head.

 C19

    Di Dao was also an expert of the Lifestealer Realm, and he was even at the late stage of the Lifestealer Realm, which was more than a little higher than Di Chen, so his fist was aggressive, extremely ferocious, like a wild beast coming out of a cage, bringing with it an irresistible might.


    Di Chen opened his eyes wide, seeing that the fists were already in front of him, he did not dodge, but chose to increase his Qi, his right hand formed a fist, and fiercely punched out, the two fists collided, and with a boom, the powerful energy moved and produced a burst of Qi, causing both of them to retreat, Di Chen took five steps back, his face flushed red, his chest rising and falling unsteadily.


    Di Dao took two steps back, and his body no longer wavered, but a look of shock flashed past his face as he said in shock: "You actually broke through to the Lifestealer Realm? This is not possible, you didn''t even know how to cultivate in the past, so even if your meridians were to be reopened, it would only be a matter of two months ago.


    Even if it was a heaven warping talent, he had never seen anyone who could breakthrough to the Lifestealer Realm within two months. This had already exceeded the scope of normal logic.


    Even the prodigy Lin Ming that was publicly acknowledged by the Di Family back then took more than ten years to break through to the Lifestealer Realm!


    Of course, he could not understand what was happening to Di Chen, nor could he understand how much hatred and anger Di Chen had endured all these years!


    "You can''t kill me anymore, right? Di Dao, everyone has Lifestealer Realm at the same time, even if you are at the late stage of the Lifestealer Realm, it would not be that easy to kill me. " Di Chen said with an ice-cold expression.


    Di Dao was stunned for a moment before laughing, "Who said I wanted to kill you? Even if I keep you alive, you can never hope to snatch it back to the Di Clan. Your parents can''t do it, and you can''t! "


    "Then let''s wait and see!" Di Chen said coldly, then turned his eyes and asked with a frown: "Did you lock up Uncle Lin Ming? Didn''t you want to get my information out of him? I will stand in front of you right now and let Uncle Lin Ming go. This has nothing to do with him. "


    Di Dao grinned: Why would I ask for your information? How could I do such a senseless thing? It was only because he offended his superiors and killed my Di family that I imprisoned him as a punishment. But you, you call me Uncle Lin Ming so affectionately, could it be that you are on the same side as him? "


    If Di Chen had not returned to Lin An City, and had not returned to the Di Clan, then finding out where Di Chen was would definitely be very useful. To be able to get people to kill Di Chen outside, no one knew whether it was done by him or not.


    But now that Di Chen had returned to the Di Clan, the situation was different!


    Killing Di Chen in public would cause him to be targeted by thousands of people, so he had to change his plan.


    Di Chen waved his hand and coldly snorted: "Stop with this nonsense. I don''t care what the reason is, let go of Uncle Lin Ming now!"


    Di Dao laughed coldly: "Based on the current you, you don''t have the qualifications to speak to me in such a manner. When you are able to win in the Family Competition, and then ask me for such a request, I might consider it."


    "Very well, just you wait. I will definitely make you willingly bow before me." Di Chen clenched his fists tightly and turned to leave.


    Lin Tao and the others followed Di Chen and left.


    Looking at Di Chen''s leaving figure, Di Dao coldly laughed, "Brat, if you want to fight with me, it''s impossible even in a few hundred years."


    The competition this time around would definitely be under his control. He wanted to make sure that Di Chen would not be able to return.


    "We''re leaving just like that?" Walking out of the Di Family, Xu Qian asked in surprise.


    Although he didn''t understand the inside story, isn''t it a bit too perfunctory to just say a few harsh words and leave?


    Di Chen didn''t even turn his head as he faintly said, "What else? With my current strength, I am still unable to defeat him. It is impossible for me to force my way in to save Uncle Lin Ming. I have come here today to simply ascertain the situation.


    Two days later, Lin Tao shaved off the stubble that had appeared during this period of time and combed his hair clean. After changing into a set of clean clothes, he regained his fresh and fresh appearance of a young master, the only difference was that there was a heaviness on his face that he had never felt before.


    Now that his cultivation had been crippled and his father had been imprisoned, he finally realized that his life had been rough!


    Today was the Clan Competition held once every three years in the Di Clan. Before, he didn''t have the opportunity to participate, but this time, he couldn''t.


    But why did he still dress himself in such a bright and beautiful manner? His spirit was brimming with vigor, and it was of course because of Di Chen.


    Di Chen had said that from today onwards, he would gradually uncover Di Dao''s conspiracy and save his father. He couldn''t let his father see how decadent he was!


    The Lin Family had never fallen. Even if they were forced to lie on the ground by fate, as long as they still had a breath of air, they had to straighten their back and take a breather.


    After tidying up everything, Lin Tao met up with Di Chen and the others outside the courtyard, and headed towards the Di Clan together.


    Numerous people from the back of the Di family and their servants were all gathered in the middle of the square in front of the Di family, discussing what was going to happen. Each of them had their own candidate in mind, and most of them were supporting Di Dao, his son, because Di Long was considered the strongest warrior among the new generation members of the Di family.


    And once they reached the Lifestealer Realm, they would be on equal footing with the Family Head Elders and the others!


    With such talent, how could others not have high hopes? Of course, there were also those who supported the others, but only Di Chen, other than the Lin Tao trio, had no supporters, and even the people from the Di Family disdained to look at him. How could someone like him, who was bullied at the Di Family''s age, have any chance of winning?


    Regarding the surrounding reactions and reactions, Di Chen did not take them to heart. Instead, he brought a few people with him and stood to the side without uttering a word.


    "Oh, isn''t he the great genius of our Di Family? If you are unable to cultivate for over ten years, even writing a few words would be a problem.


    Two jeers came from the side.


    Di Chen turned his head to look, it was a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He recognized him, it was the son of an elder named Di Rong, and his cultivation base was around the eighth level of the Warrior Realm. Usually, when he was confused with Di Long, he could be considered as Di Long''s favorite follower.


    Seeing that Di Chen did not react, Di Rong continued to ridicule him, "It''s such a pity, a genius like you going out to the streets to beg and change your clothes, but if you want to participate in the Clan Competition, isn''t that just courting death? I think you might not even be able to make it through the first round. Fate has already determined that you are a trash, so don''t struggle anymore. "


    Di Chen was still able to hold his cool, but Lin Tao was already unable to hold it in, he did not have the habit of being pointed at and humiliated.


    Staring angrily at him, he clenched his fists and cursed: "Bastard, what did you say? "Believe it or not, all your teeth will fall out of your mouth."


    Di Rong chuckled and looked at Lin Tao with disdain, "Another trash has come. Why are you shouting at me now?" "If it wasn''t for the fact that we''re going to start a fight soon, I would have definitely beaten you up and made you roll all over the ground for sure."


    "Brat, I can teach you a lesson even if I don''t have a cultivation base!" The impulsive Lin Tao was just about to attack, Di Chen anxiously pulled him back, raised his hand and patted his shoulder.


    Smiling, he said, "Alright, Lin Tao, stop trying to get an understanding of those ignorant fools. There are no benefits in causing trouble now."


    Lin Tao gritted his teeth and glared at the other party. Then, he retreated and no longer spoke.


    Di Rong laughed out loud, "Aiyo, as expected of trash. You don''t even dare to retaliate after being humiliated like this. You guys have truly overestimated yourselves." Mud cannot support walls! "


    He laughed and left.


    At the side, Xu Qian sighed, and said puzzledly: "Brother Di Chen, I don''t understand. You''re obviously that powerful, why are you still allowing this kind of fellow to act so presumptuously in front of you?"


    As an outsider, he could not stand to watch this any longer.


    Di Chen said calmly: "Impulse now is only a bad thing, my goal is not these people, the big picture is more important!"


    Soon enough, after all the Di Family members had gathered, Di Dao walked to the center of the plaza with a small booklet in his hands. After sweeping his gaze across everyone in the square, he said with a serious expression, "All the brothers and sisters of the Di Family, today is the triennial competition of the family, and the victor will be qualified to become the next Family Head. As the acting Family Head of the Di Family, I will be the one to host this competition."


    After he finished speaking, he looked down at the booklet in his hand, "There are a total of twenty-four contestants. The competition will be divided into two groups. There will be a total of twelve contestants, so this will be the first round." They were all part of the same clan, so they shouldn''t act rashly when the time for battle came. Otherwise, the clan rules would punish them. "Next, I will announce the name of the person and begin the competition. I will sit together with the various elders in making the decision."


    Then he announced the names of the two younger generation members of the Di Family. The two of them walked to the center of the square and bowed to each other. After that, the competition officially began.


    Di Chen watched on expressionlessly at the edge of the arena.


    He was very clear on the strength of the younger generation of the Di Family. Most of them were above the fifth level of the Martial Disciple realm.


    Only Di Long was closer to the Lifestealer Realm, but compared to his real Lifestealer Realm, he was still far behind!


    The two of them fought back and forth in the center of the square, using their techniques to determine victory or defeat. It was boring watching them fight for so long.


    Di Dao quickly stood up and announced the opposite party''s victory, to prevent the two of them from provoking enmity, and continued to fight to the death.


    After the two of them left, he continued to read out the names. However, when he saw the next group of names, his lips curled up into a smile as he said loudly, "Next group, fight on the back of the Di Family, Di Rong against Di Chen."


    "Di Rong versus Di Chen?" The moment these two names were spoken, the entire audience was in an uproar.


    Of course they knew Di Rong and Di Chen''s identities well. Their abilities were not on the same level at all.

 C20

    "Tsk tsk, I didn''t expect that it would be only the second match, and it''s actually Di Rong against Di Chen. This ranking is very interesting, does Di Chen still have any chance of winning? "


    Someone laughed and said, "Who can we blame? As trash, he doesn''t know his place. Last time, when the servant girl, Duo''er, died, he was already very generous without being punished, but now he''s even coming here to die."


    The sounds of ridicule spread out in the crowd. Di Rong walked to the center of the plaza with a confident look and looked at Di Chen with disdain.


    His thoughts were the same as everyone else, he believed that he had won!


    Di Chen straightened his clothes, turned a deaf ear to the surrounding sounds, and slowly walked to the center of the plaza. Behind him, Lin Tao reminded: "Di Chen, be careful."


    He could only cheer for Di Chen from the side!


    Gazing at the crowd''s questioning and mocking gazes, he walked up and stood in front of Di Rong.


    "Trash, I didn''t expect you to have the courage to walk up here. It''s quite admirable. Seeing as you have such courage, I''ve decided to be a bit softer. I won''t beat you up too badly." Di Rong grinned proudly.


    Di Chen looked at him expressionlessly, and did not say a word.


    "The match begins!" Di Dao also seemed to be a little impatient, and quickly announced the start of the competition. He wanted to see Di Chen''s performance on the stage.


    As soon as his voice fell, Di Rong took the initiative and made his move. He rushed towards Di Chen quickly and punched towards Di Chen''s head, laughing out loud. "Trash, can you block this punch of mine?"


    "Bang ¡­"


    With a huge sound, Di Rong''s fist had only just been punched halfway when he was sent flying by Di Chen with a light wave of his hand.


    Silence, deathly silence, the sound of a pin drop!


    What happened just now? No one seemed to be able to see that, so Di Chen gently waved his hand!


    However, he had lightly waved his hand and sent the expert from the Di family flying? How was this possible?


    He couldn''t understand it at all. Was this still the trash that he couldn''t cultivate in the rumors?


    This attack alone was enough to shock everyone present. What was going on? Countless people in the Di Family were about to lose their minds, falling into a state of confusion.


    Di Dao also narrowed his eyes. He knew that Di Rong was definitely not Di Chen''s match, he had already seen Di Chen''s abilities before, after all, he was someone who had stepped into the Lifestealer Realm. However, he never thought that Di Rong would actually be defeated to such an extent that he couldn''t even block a single blow from Di Chen.


    From the looks of it, Di Chen''s Lifestealer Realm had already stepped into the middle stages, his strength would very quickly be at the same level as!


    Too terrifying, what happened to this fellow? How could his cultivation increase by so much?


    "Di Chen wins!" In the midst of all the shocked gazes, Di Dao uttered those words with difficulty.


    Lin Tao heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, Di Chen did not disappoint him.


    Qin Suer who was watching nervously also revealed a happy expression.


    Xu Qian''s expression didn''t change too much, it was just that the expression in his eyes became slightly more complicated!


    Di Chen turned his head and smiled towards Lin Tao and the others, he turned and prepared to leave, but right at that moment, Di Rong who was flying far away after catching his breath, once again rushed forward, holding a blade that he had obtained from an unknown place, he roared: "Di Chen, this daddy wants you to die for me."


    Then, a blade suddenly stabbed towards Di Chen from behind him!


    Everyone''s expression changed. Qin Suer shouted anxiously, "Big Brother Di Chen, be careful."


    Di Chen turned his head abruptly, and the blade tip was only a few inches away from his stomach.


    Unfortunately, they were only a few inches away from a distance of a thousand li. Di Chen''s gaze became ferocious as he raised his right hand and clenched his fist tightly in the air. The surrounding energy converged and directly controlled Di Rong, and a killing intent flashed across his eyes.


    Di Rong fell backwards from the impact, lying on the ground and spitting out a large mouthful of blood. Di Chen raised his hand and fiercely stomped down on Di Rong''s chest. This stomp had used all his strength, with his Lifestealer Realm, he was able to stomp Di Rong to death with a single stomp.


    "Stop!" At this time, the Elder who was standing next to Ye Xiwen roared loudly, his figure flashed, and he rushed out, throwing a palm attack towards Ye Xiwen''s head.


    This elder was Di Rong''s father, it was reasonable for him to save Di Chen. He did not plan to hurt Di Chen with this palm strike, he just wanted to force Di Chen back, and stop here, so as to not harm Di Rong''s life. Unexpectedly, Di Chen not only did not stop, he even punched the clan elder.


    The fist and palm collided, and with a loud thumping sound, a huge force came from his arm. Di Chen was forced to retreat three steps, and that elder was the same, retreating five steps as well. He raised his head and looked at Di Chen in shock, "You brat, you''re also actually at the middle stage of the Lifestealer Realm, how is this possible?"


    As an elder, how could he accept letting a Di Family''s younger generation''s strength be on par with his, or even a little bit stronger?


    Di Chen stared at him coldly, and laughed coldly: "What, are you planning to bully me with your numbers? Even an elder had to interfere. What did that mean? Do you really think that I, Di Chen, am someone that can be easily bullied? "


    The elder frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You are the one who broke the rules, Family Head had previously said that it would be fine if we just call it a day, but now you want to kill me, it''s enough to disqualify you from participating."


    Di Chen curled his lips and laughed in disdain, "Family Head? It''s very easy to call him by his name, the fence-sitter. A guy who didn''t even have a family token or even a word of mouth to replace him, just because he was chosen by you personally to represent the Di Family, he became the Family Head in name. Who gave you the right? "


    Di Chen did not continue with what happened just now, and instead pointed straight at Di Dao.


    The elder''s eyes were filled with gloom and he had no way of refuting Di Chen''s words. He could only turn his head and look at Di Dao: "Family Head, you will be presiding over today''s match.


    Di Dao slowly stood up. He heard every single word that Di Chen was saying, and his expression was not looking too good either. He said in a heavy voice, "No wonder Di Chen does this, Di Rong is the one who doesn''t know what''s good for himself. Alright, don''t get in the way of the competition, that''s enough, Di Chen wins. "


    "Family Head!" The elder shouted anxiously.


    Di Dao frowned: "Shut up!"


    That elder lost his temper, glared at Di Chen, and supported the heavily injured Di Rong to leave.


    Di Chen smiled and walked out of the plaza!


    The look in the eyes of the Di Clan''s people who were looking at Di Chen had already changed.


    This legendary trash had not only defeated Di Rong, but he also had the power to fight against the elder of the Di Family.


    No, this should not be the trash from before!


    Di Chen did not stay any longer, bringing Lin Tao and the other two along as he left the place.


    After exiting the Di Family, Lin Tao was so excited that he couldn''t control himself, "This is too exhilarating, I have never been as exhilarated as I am today. Di Chen, you are really extraordinary, hitting the faces of these people in the middle, and even slapping them until they make popping sounds. I want to see how they will continue to act so arrogantly in the future! "No, I''m too happy today. Come, let''s go drink. I''ll treat you."


    Di Chen smiled slightly: "I think you''re the only one who wants to drink it, but it''s possible for you to have some to help us enjoy it today."


    Lin Tao straightforwardly gulped down a few mouthfuls of strong wine. He wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "The only regret is, you didn''t kill that brat Di Rong, I don''t like him for a long time in my eyes. If it wasn''t for the fact that I have spent all my power, I would definitely not have let him off lightly."


    Di Chen smiled slightly: "That''s enough, forcing the opponent too much won''t benefit us."


    "What''s next?" Lin Tao impatiently asked: "What do we do next?" Don''t tell me that we will have to directly continue winning the competition and smoothly obtain the position of the next Family Head? "


    Di Chen shook his head: "How can it be that simple, Di Dao would naturally not let me go easy, tomorrow I will see what that fellow is trying to do, no matter what tricks he has up his sleeves, I will expose him right in front of everyone, and let his ugly face to be completely exposed."


    "So that''s how it is!" Lin Tao laughed, "I understand, you want to stall for time."


    "Something like that!" Di Chen laughed and said: Let''s not bring this up for now, tell us more about you, are you going to let go of your cultivation just like that? Don''t you want to cultivate again? "


    "Yes, of course I do." Lin Tao blurted out these words without hesitation.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "Since you want to, then you better think of a way. If this goes on, when my veins die, I''ll completely be powerless to save you."


    Lin Tao let out a long sigh. He let out a bitter laugh and said, "Do you think I''ve never thought about it before? But if my dantian is shattered, it''s the same as having both my legs broken. How can I recover?"


    Di Chen smiled, "He can even receive a broken leg. Su''er, let him have a look."


    Qin Suer nodded, she moved and sat beside Lin Tai, extended her hand out and grabbed Lin Tao''s arm, then began examining him.


    Lin Tao was shocked as he nervously asked, "What are you doing? Men and women shouldn''t be too intimate with each other, will you? "


    "Shut up!" Di Chen bellowed.


    Lin Tao held her breath and sat up straight, she did not dare move, and after a long while, Qin Suer released her hand, her face became gloomy and silent.


    Qin Suer embarrassedly shook her head: "It''s too serious. With my current abilities, there''s nothing I can do about it."


    Qin Suer replied in dissatisfaction: "It''s not like there''s no other way. As long as we find a person with a strong power and use his vitality to reconstruct your meridians, and then use medicinal pills to repair your Dantian, you will be able to cultivate anew. Perhaps he might even be stronger than before."

    "Heh, look who I''ve met. Isn''t he the despicable, shameless and despicable seventh young master of the Di family, Di Chen?" At this moment, a strange voice came from the side.


    Di Chen and the rest stopped talking and turned their heads to look, only to see Jun Wu Yi and two of his followers enter the restaurant, looking at Di Chen with ridiculing smiles on their faces.


    Di Chen frowned!


    "Jun Wu Yi?" Lin Tao''s face turned unsightly in an instant.


    Feeling the strange looks on their faces, Xu Qian asked in confusion, "Who is this guy, is he very strong?"


    Di Chen lowered his voice and said, "One of Ling An''s three prodigies, equally famous to Shang Qing and Xiang Tian. In fact, the so-called Ling An''s three prodigies are merely the name given to them by those who have never seen the world. In fact, there are a lot of unworldly youths, so when would it be their turn to act arrogantly and act arrogantly? "


    Although Di Chen was serious, he still found it difficult to hide the bitterness in his words. As the heir to the Di Family, he originally had hopes of becoming famous in the Ling''an City, and even stood on top of these guys'' heads.


    Of course, on the other hand, he was on par with Jun Wu Yi and the others, and no one could match him in the scandal.


    "I didn''t see you for a while. I thought you were hiding somewhere. I didn''t expect you to show up again. Aren''t you afraid that the people from the Di family are chasing after you?" Jun Wu Yi smiled as he looked at Di Chen.


    Di Chen was expressionless, but he shouted in a low voice: "Scram!"


    "Oh, other than that, my temper is getting worse." Jun Wu Yi smiled: "Boy, I was just reminding you out of good will and not knowing what''s good for you. There''s no one in this Ling''an City who dares to make a ruckus with me, not to mention a street rat like you."


    "Brother Di Chen is not a street rat!" Qin Suer could no longer bear to listen. She stood up angrily and glared at Jun Wu Yi.


    Jun Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud: "I really don''t understand, why do you always have beauties by your side? This little girl is not bad, she''s quite pretty. "


    Jun Wu Yi smiled as he reached out his hand to touch Qin Suer''s face.


    Qin Suer wanted to dodge in disgust, but Jun Wu Yi didn''t know what kind of method she had used to instantly control her body and prevent her from making even the slightest movement. At this time, a fist suddenly shot out from behind Qin Suer and struck toward Jun Wu Yi''s hand.


    The fist was very ferocious, exploding through the air like a cannonball!


    Jun Wu Yi was startled, and hastily clenched his fist, and then his whole body was sent flying back, all the way to the entrance of the restaurant. His face was full of shock and panic, and he was staring at the scene in front of him. Where did this expert come from? Why was the power of this punch so strong?


    Before he could figure out who was making a move, Di Chen, who was as furious as a wild beast, leaped up from behind Qin Suer, and punched towards his head through the air. At the same time, he roared: "I told you to scram, did you not hear me? "You dare to touch the people around me? Today, I will let you understand the situation."


    He could endure the humiliation he felt, but if there was even the slightest bit of disrespect towards the people around him, Di Chen would not be able to endure it, especially Qin Suer, who had interacted with him in the valley for more than two months.


    Jun Wu Yi narrowed his eyes as a trace of disdain flashed across his face: "You don''t know what''s good for you. If it wasn''t for the fact that an expert was secretly helping you, you would''ve thought that you were my match." Very well, I''ll let you see the difference between us. "


    After he had finished speaking, Jun Wu Yi swung out his fist and continued to fight with Di Chen head-on. However, when the two fists collided, his expression suddenly changed, and a majestic force poured down like a torrential flood from his hand. His body couldn''t help but be sent flying backwards. What was even more terrifying was that before his body could even fly out of the door, it was grabbed by a single hand by Di Chen and pulled back into the room.


    As he flew in front of Di Chen, Di Chen''s leg smashed into his shoulder, and directly smashed him to the ground. He felt as if his collarbone had been shattered by this kick, as blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth and his mind went blank.


    All of the pain he felt was not as big as the blow Di Chen had given him!


    Why did this guy''s cultivation level suddenly become so strong? This should be the strength of his Lifestealer Realm, right?


    He was one of the three prodigies of Ling An and yet he was only half a step into the Lifestealer Realm, yet this trash could actually do it in a mere two months?


    Di Chen''s actions had completely overturned his view of the world.


    "Do you understand now? The difference between you and me? " Di Chen mercilessly stepped on Jun Wu Yi''s head.


    If anyone saw this scene, their eyeballs would probably fall out of their sockets. One of the grand Ling An''s three prodigies, a top expert of the younger generation, would actually be stepped on by trash like Di Chen, someone who only knew about streets and alleys.


    "Why are you forcing me? "Hmm?" Di Chen stomped his feet on the ground, "I can tolerate your humiliating and bullying me, but why do you want to touch the people around me? Do you even have the qualifications to do so? Jun Wu Yi? "


    Jun Wu Yi clenched his teeth tightly, his lips bleeding profusely, both of his eyes were as if they were spewing fire, and blood was seeping out of the corners of his eyes. Suddenly, he roared out loudly, and all of the Qi in his body changed as a majestic aura surged out of his body. He broke free from Di Chen''s legs, and suddenly flew up into the air, waving his hand and causing a green lance to appear in the air and shoot towards Di Chen.


    "martial soul?" Di Chen instantly opened his eyes wide.


    Any practitioner who broke through to the Lifestealer Realm would comprehend martial soul. This martial soul had the power of weapons and also the power of nature. Most of them were the souls of weapons, unless they were souls of nature that were rarely seen in a hundred years, wind, rain, thunder, or lightning!


    Di Chen had long since broken through to the Lifestealer Realm, but he was the only exception. He had not comprehended any martial soul, and even if word of him spread, no one would believe it. However, this was the truth, and he could not understand why the heavens would treat him so unfairly.


    Now that Jun Wu Yi had revealed the spear martial soul, he couldn''t help but reveal a surprised look on his face!


    What was more shocking was that Jun Wu Yi was clearly one step away from reaching the Lifestealer Realm, so how was he able to use the martial soul?


    Could it be because of the humiliation he had just suffered and the fact that Jun Wu Yi had lost his mind?


    "Die!" Jun Wu Yi''s eyes and mouth were bleeding profusely as if they were about to burst.


    The green spear suddenly shot towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately took three steps back to stabilize himself. In the face of Jun Wu Yi''s attack, he didn''t dare to be careless, and quickly drew a line in the air, and along with a low shout, the word ''fix'' flew out, and collided with the green spear. A loud bang was heard, and the green spear was shattered on the spot.


    Jun Wu Yi spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and collapsed at the door. His face was pale, and blood kept oozing out of his seven orifices.


    He, who had not stepped into the Lifestealer Realm before, forcefully released the martial soul, had already lost his vitality, causing his body to be seriously injured. Now that the martial soul was broken by Di Chen, he had even given him a fatal blow, and even though his face was filled with unwillingness, he couldn''t help but control the spirit in his eyes, as they slowly faded. Why did you become so strong? "That''s impossible, you won''t be able to beat me ¡­"


    His aura was growing weaker and weaker, until his life force was completely drained. He still could not believe that Di Chen could defeat him.


    This was also reasonable, after all, he had never placed Di Chen in his eyes!


    It was like being stepped to death by an ant. Who could accept this?


    Di Chen frowned as he looked at Jun Wu Yi''s dead face, but he didn''t show any expression on his face. In fact, if he had used his Lifestealer Realm, killing Jun Wu Yi wouldn''t have been such a simple task, but Jun Wu Yi had forcefully released his martial soul.


    He turned around and said to Lin Tao and the other two, "Quickly leave, we shouldn''t stay here any longer. "The Jun Family isn''t that easy to mess with. If they find out that I''ve killed the young master of the Jun Family, they will definitely not let us off the hook so easily."


    With that, Di Chen and the rest of the people quickly left, returning back to the Lin Residence to rest.


    Di Chen was still a little unsettled. He did not expect that the matter with the Di Family had not been resolved yet, and now he had gotten himself into such a mess. With his current situation, he had no chance of winning against the Jun Family. What should he do now? Could it be that the medicine was trying to escape? However, the fight between Di Family and Shi Yan was not over, and what he needed to do was not done.


    Just as he was thinking about that, the door was suddenly kicked open. Di Chen was startled, he turned his head and saw that it was Qin Suer, and he heaved a sigh of relief.


    Seeing that Di Chen''s expression was not good, Qin Suer carefully asked: "Big brother Di Chen, what''s wrong? Are you hurt? "


    Di Chen shook his head: "I''m fine! You''re looking for me? "


    "Yes." Qin Suer nodded her head, and ran her fingers along the corner of her clothes, and said with a red face: "I came here to thank you, I know that you attacked Jun Wu Yi in the restaurant for my sake. Besides that, you also helped me take revenge. "


    "Vengeance?" Di Chen was startled, but after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that when he asked about this matter from the group of people who were chasing after Qin Suer, they were the ones who secretly instigated him to destroy her clan.


    So now that he had killed Jun Wu Yi, it was a coincidence that he had taken revenge for Qin Suer!


    Di Chen shook his head and laughed: "It''s not over yet, Jun Wu Yi alone won''t be able to control such a big situation. The real culprit should not be him! "


    Qin Suer smiled sweetly: "Those that can take their time, Big Brother Di Chen, for you to help me to such a stage, I am already very happy."


    Di Chen smiled and said: "Nothing, you should go back and rest first. I need to think about something."


    "Alright, then I won''t bother you anymore. If Big Brother Di Chen needs any pills or anything like that, feel free to look for me." Qin Suer smiled and turned to leave.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly, who could understand the pain he was feeling right now?

 C22

    After pondering for a long time, Di Chen finally decided that no matter what happened, the Di Clan''s matters must be resolved. Lin Ming must save them as well, otherwise, his actions up till now would be meaningless. For the sake of today, he had endured for more than ten years. How could he give up so easily?


    The next day, Di Chen, Lin Tao and the other two went back to the Di Clan to participate in the competition.


    After the elimination round yesterday, the number of participants had decreased from twenty-four people to twelve, so after the competition, there would only be six people left. Tomorrow, the competition would be over and the victor would be out, who would also be the one to inherit the Family Head.


    However, since Di Chen and the others were just descendants, even if they inherited the Family Head, they would need the support of Di Dao and the other elders. Furthermore, he wouldn''t have much authority to speak after becoming the Family Head. Any decision would require the collective vote of the elders before it could be passed.


    Di Chen recognized the six people today, and he had previously determined that none of them could win against him!


    After all, these people had yet to break through to the Lifestealer Realm. Even if they were the top warriors, there was still a huge gap between them and their Lifestealer Realm.


    For example, Jun Wu Yi, he had already used half of his Lifestealer Realm, but was still unable to withstand a single blow from Di Chen.


    When Di Chen stepped into the plaza, everyone''s gaze turned towards him.


    "I heard that he beheaded Jun Wu Yi in the restaurant yesterday, and he''s really too strong!"


    "That''s right. Two months ago, he was clearly weaker than an ordinary person. But now, in the blink of an eye, even Ling An and the other two young geniuses were no match for him."


    Some people curled their lips and said: "Well then, it''s time to stop with your worship, and find out the truth of the matter, he killed Jun Wu Yi, and made the entire Jun Family of Ling''an City his enemy, do you know how much trouble he will bring to our Di Family?" I think even if he wins the match, our Di Family would never let him become the Family Head. How could we allow such a disaster to destroy our Di Family? "


    Even though this fellow''s attitude was displeasing, his words made sense.


    It wasn''t that Di Chen didn''t understand this, after a night of pondering, he had already changed his plans. Right now, he was no longer participating in the tournament to take back the Di Family, but rather, to save Lin Ming.


    Since the entire Jun Family was furious, he had no way of resisting it!


    Today, he was not in a hurry to leave. After all the fights were over, there were only six people left, including him, left. He raised his feet and walked in front of Di Dao, squinting his eyes: "Can today''s matches continue, and we can directly decide the victor within today?"


    "What do you mean?" Di Dao frowned, his gaze turned heavy as he coldly asked: "Are you in such a hurry? It''s clear that the competition has ended today, and there will only be a competition tomorrow. "


    Di Chen said expressionlessly: "I am the victor, I have chosen to participate in today''s finals."


    "Impossible!" Di Dao resolutely waved his hand and rejected: "A day of competition and everyone''s stamina is exhausted. It''s not fair to be competing in the finals at this time."


    Di Chen''s eyes turned, and he clenched his teeth: "Like this, let the five people who won compete with me, I will definitely fight against five, isn''t that fair? If I lose, then I quit the competition. If I win, then there''s no need for the five of them to continue on. "


    "One against five?" Upon hearing Di Chen''s words, everyone around opened their eyes wide in shock.


    Wasn''t this fellow too arrogant?


    No, it was too inflated!


    Even though he had defeated Di Rong and killed Jun Wu Yi, but how could he face off against five enemies at the same time? Even if Di Chen had Lifestealer Realm s, it would still be very difficult to obtain benefits from these five people. Even Di Dao did not dare to say such arrogant words, but unfortunately, Di Chen, this brat who did not know his limits, said it all like that.


    Di Dao stared at Di Chen for a long time before grinning: "Fine, if you really want to say this, I won''t stop you either. However, I must remind you that in such a chaotic battle, the original rules must be abandoned. It is not to end it at the end of the day, but to truly engage in slaughter until the other party is unable to stand up. "


    "If you lose, you will lose your life!"


    Di Dao revealed a cold smile.


    "Sure!" Di Chen didn''t hesitate at all. He knew what Di Dao meant, that Di Dao also wanted to kill him, which was why he cancelled the previous rule.


    But that didn''t matter. Even if the five of them worked together, he was confident that he would win.


    Di Dao curled his lips and laughed coldly: "Arrogant brat, I would actually like to see how capable you are!"


    Afterwards, he announced the continuation of the competition to everyone and also explained the rules of the reopening competition to the five remaining contestants.


    The sun was very hot today, scorching the ground. When they stepped on the ground, they could feel the heat coming from the earth. Countless people were already sweating and those with weak stamina were even feeling dizzy.


    In the center of the plaza, Di Chen stood facing the five younger generation members of the Di Family.


    Although Di Chen recognized all five of these people, he was the only one who understood them. Di Long was Di Dao''s son, and was also the strongest amongst the five, his cultivation at the ninth level of the Warrior. Amongst the young rookies, he was quite impressive.


    Di Dao''s original plan was also the same as Di Clan''s. had won in the competition, and the father and son duo had completely taken control of the Di Clan. However, Di Chen''s appearance had completely destroyed his plan.


    "Di Chen, I lost to you before, but I didn''t bring out all of my strength, but today, I will make you die an ugly death. I''ll let you know that trash is, after all, trash. No matter how much you struggle, you are still inferior to me. " Di Long pointed at Di Chen and said fiercely.


    Di Chen raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled: "Why, now that I have a teammate, I start to be arrogant. "It''s not that I''m targeting you, I just want to say that the five of you are all trash. Even if you were to come at me together, you might not be able to defeat me!"


    "Bastard!" The five of them could not hold it in and cursed.


    Di Chen''s words were indeed not directed at Di Long, but towards the five of them.


    In his fury, the five of them simultaneously attacked Di Chen, from both the front, back, left and right. In this way, even if Di Chen had Lifestealer Realm, it would be difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, so it was certain that he would not be able to defend against the five people''s collective attacks. Everything seemed to have been discussed beforehand. Before they made their move, they had already decided on a method to deal with Di Chen.


    When Lin Tao saw this, he became nervous. He clenched his fists tightly: "Di Chen is overestimating himself, dealing with five people by himself, all of them are Advanced Warriors, what should we do now? If they were to fight one at a time, they would definitely win. But now there were five people, and the situation was completely different!


    If Di Chen lost, then everything was over.


    Lin Tao could not help but be nervous!


    Not only him, even everyone present believed that Di Chen would definitely lose.


    Because this act of his was a bit too big!


    But right at that moment, Di Chen raised one of his hands and waved it behind him. A powerful and boundless force swept out, instantly sending the two people behind him flying. Although these two were high-level martial artists, they simply couldn''t resist such a tyrannical energy attack.


    After sending the two flying, Di Chen waved his hand again, forcing the two of them to the left and right sides, his gaze landing on Di Long. Di Long had already rushed in front of him, and punched towards his face. Di Long''s strength was not weak. If Di Chen took this punch, even if it was from his Lifestealer Realm, he would still be severely injured.


    But at this time, Di Chen lightly tapped on the ground with his feet. His body floated into the air and smashed down on Di Long''s shoulder.


    Di Chen''s body steadily landed, and his feet once again fiercely stepped on Di Long''s back. Receiving such a heavy blow, Di Long opened his mouth and fiercely spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Everyone was dumbstruck. It had only been a short exchange, but the strongest Di Long had already been injured, while the other four were pushed back.


    The heck, how strong is he exactly?


    How could he fight such a monstrous existence? There was no room for resistance, right?


    Seeing Di Long being stepped on under Di Long''s foot, Di Dao''s face couldn''t help but twitch. His own son had been stepped on, this was the biggest insult to him!


    The four people exchange glances, each of them took a weapon, shouted, and rushed towards Di Chen once again.


    Di Chen lifted his right hand, and quickly wrote a word in the air.


    At the same time, he waved his right hand, and a surge of boundless energy instantly enveloped the four of them. They were unable to move, and only their eyes were spinning around wildly.


    "Break!" Di Chen roared again, and his right hand suddenly spat out. The energy explosion sent all four of them flying. They fell to the ground, covered in dirt and blood, and had no strength to stand up again.


    Di Chen revealed a smile, if that was the case, then he would be considered the final victor, no one could stop him, if he continued, it would just be a waste of time.


    "Get off my back!" Di Long suddenly clenched his teeth, both of his hands supporting himself on the floor, he used all his strength to push himself up, wanting to break free from Di Chen''s legs.


    "Stop struggling!" Di Chen sneered. His body sank again as he once again stepped on Di Long. Just like how Di Long stepped on him when he was unable to cultivate.


    Even if he were to be humiliated like this, even if he was able to survive, he wouldn''t have the face to meet someone again. His eyes revealed a hint of fierceness, and he took out a red pill from within his clothes and stuffed it into his mouth.

 C23

    After that, his body began to swell as his muscles grew at a rapid rate. Blood seeped out of his pores and his eyes were as big as bells. With a loud roar, he jumped up and forcefully threw Di Chen off his back.


    Di Chen''s body gently floated out like a feather, and after steadying himself, he looked at it with a face full of shock.


    What did this guy do?


    Di Long''s body was still growing, the blood drops all over his body had dyed his clothes red, he looked ferocious and devilish.


    Seeing this, Di Dao''s eyes widened intensely. Di Long must have consumed a Heart Devouring Pill, it was able to swallow a normal person''s mind, thus causing his strength to increase by a few levels, although the effect was great, the side effects were also very severe. After consuming the Heart Devouring Pill, even if he recovered, his intelligence, vitality, and cultivation would all be affected.


    If a person''s cultivation talent could reach the Martial King Realm, then after taking the Heart Devouring Pill once, it would be difficult to even break through to the Lifestealer Realm!


    Di Dao looked as if he wanted to cry. Di Long''s way of doing things was equivalent to crippling him!


    In the arena, Di Long was forced to be at least two heads taller than before, becoming a giant that was extremely terrifying. He took two steps forward, extended his hand, and slapped towards Di Chen. could feel that just this power alone had already reached the level of Lifestealer Realm.


    Even stronger than him!


    Di Chen did not dare to take it head-on, his body quickly moved to the side, dodging Di Long''s big hand. That palm slammed onto the ground, and with a loud bang, the floor was even shattered into pieces. Dust flew everywhere, and the scene stunned everyone on scene.


    Di Chen squinted his eyes. Di Long''s attacks were indeed fierce, his strength had already reached the Lifestealer Realm, but Di Chen felt that the other party was missing something, but he could not say what it was. Seeing that his fist was already close to him, Di Chen took a step back, with a single hand drawing the word "Slash", and a white blade appeared in the air, flying straight towards Di Long.


    Currently, he had already comprehended three formula, the set formula, the broken formula, and the beheading formula.


    The word cut ''was the third formula, and its power was extremely strong. With just the word cut, half of his power of speech was drained from the alcohol.


    When they saw the large saber appear in the air, everyone stared at it in a daze!


    "What is that?" Is it a martial soul? "


    "No, it''s not a martial soul. A martial soul doesn''t appear this way. It''s as if the power is coming from outside of its body."


    "If it''s not the martial soul, then what is it?"


    "I don''t know, I don''t understand."


    After slashing the formula down, Di Long had no choice but to raise his arms to block it. With a loud bang, Di Long was flung backwards, his clothes were all ripped apart, and his body was covered in blood.


    Seeing this scene, Di Chen suddenly understood. Previously, he felt that Di Long''s breakthrough was lacking something, but now that he saw it, it seemed like it was lacking a solid foundation. Although he had the power of Lifestealer Realm, he was not able to break through normally, and was unable to feel the energy of heaven and earth, so he was unable to live or use it, nor was he as agile and defensive as his Lifestealer Realm.


    So even if Di Long''s strength was strong, he would not be able to use it flexibly, causing him to have all of his strength, but he was unable to defend against the standing formula that Di Chen had sent out.


    After he thought through this point, Di Chen did not hesitate anymore and shouted, "Kill!"


    A great blade appeared in the air once again, chopping down from the sky. Di Long''s eyes were bloodshot, he angrily looked at the blade in the air, and this time he was more smart, he prepared to dodge, but just at this time, Di Chen bellowed once more, and a huge force suddenly surged from all directions, locking Di Long in place, he could not even move a finger.


    "AHH!" Di Long roared out madly. He actually started to struggle within the seal created by the. He forcefully lifted both his arms from the seal and continuously dripped fresh blood.


    "What is this fellow trying to do?" Di Chen was dumbstruck. This was the first time he had seen someone who could forcefully struggle free under the restraint of formula.


    And Di Long actually managed to do it, although the speed was slow, but before the formula slashed down, he actually raised a hand out of his restraints, blocking the descending large blade that was in the air. With a pu sound, the blade pierced into flesh, bringing with it a bone, it sliced off one of Di Long''s right arm, causing blood to spurt out.


    Di Long let out a miserable scream as he knelt on the ground while clutching his severed arm. His entire face was twisted violently because of the pain, and he was twitching non-stop, and although the Heart Devouring Pill could devour his mind, it could not offset his pain. The pain of losing his arm was unbearable for anyone, and it was worse than death.


    "You bastard!" Di Dao roared, his body quickly flew out from the side, and struck towards Di Chen with his palm.


    Di Chen''s forehead was covered in cold sweat. The few formula just now had almost drained all the power of his words from his body. Now that they were faced with such a ferocious palm, he simply could not resist at all.


    Lin Tao and Qin Suer started to panic, but it was already too late for them to help him!


    Di Dao''s palm carried a gale as it arrived in front of Di Chen in the blink of an eye. Right before it was about to land on his body, Di Chen narrowed his eyes and calmly said: "Are you really going to kill me in front of everyone''s eyes? Don''t forget, I am the victor of the clan competition, and am now the Family Head. "


    Phew...


    The gale dissipated, and Di Dao''s palm suddenly stopped in mid air, just a few inches away from Di Chen''s face. If it wasn''t for Di Chen''s speed of speech, that palm might have taken his life.


    Di Chen''s tightly clenched fist loosened once again, and his hand was filled with cold sweat. Fortunately, he had saved his life in the end. It was not because he was calm, but because he knew that with Di Dao''s current state, even if he wanted to hide, he would be unable to.


    Di Dao retracted his hand, and fiercely glared at Di Chen, and sneered: "Good, very good, Family Head right? You cut off one of my son''s arm, causing him to become neither a human nor a ghost, do you think I will let you become a Family Head? Aren''t you being a little too naive! "


    Di Dao''s words were said only to Di Chen, no one else present could hear it. did not want to reveal his sinister and sinister side, so to stabilize the Di Family''s Family Head, he needed to show that he was righteous on the surface.


    Di Chen smiled, "Regardless of whether you are willing or not, at the very least, you cannot kill me in front of so many people. Furthermore, I can become a Family Head in front of so many people. Furthermore, if I die the moment I become the Family Head, do you think no one will doubt me? "Only you have the most hatred towards me. As long as you are not stupid, it will all fall upon your head."


    "So!" Di Chen chuckled, "So you still have to rely on me during this period of time. Take me as Family Head and your ancestor and submit to me. Because after I become the Family Head, there are many ways for me to make you feel uncomfortable. For example, push your already ruined son a little more so that he can go down to the Underworld! "


    "You ¡­" Di Dao clenched his teeth, his eyes looked as though they were going to bleed.


    Di Dao really wanted to smack Di Chen to death right now, but it was just like what Di Chen said. He couldn''t do it, so he could only swallow his broken teeth.


    Di Chen laughed lazily: "Actually, it''s not like I can''t tell, but in reality, you don''t care about your son as much as you imagined. If you really care, you will come out and stop him when he takes the Heart Devouring Pill, and you won''t have to lose an arm. But you still expect him to kill me, even if it means losing your son''s life. You really are an extremely selfish person! "


    Di Dao''s face turned gloomy and cold, but he still did not say anything. He was still a Family Head of the Di Clan, it was impossible for him to just swallow his anger like that.


    Di Chen continued to smile lightly and said, "I know that you do not wish me to assume the position of Family Head. How about this, I can give up my position as the Family Head, but I have a request. As long as you agree to my request, I will give up my position as the Family Head! "


    "Go ahead." Di Dao said with a gloomy face.


    "As long as you release Lin Ming!" Di Chen''s eyes narrowed, revealing a sharp glint.


    "So this is your goal!" Di Dao sneered.


    "Yes!" Di Chen nodded his head without hesitation: "As long as you let Lin Ming go, I will give up on the competition within the Family Head and let your plan continue. How about this deal? "


    "Ha, hahaha!" Di Dao suddenly laughed out loud, laughing maniacally towards the sky, he raised his hand and pulled down from his face, ripping off the flesh on his face, his expression becoming extremely sinister.


    "Brat, I think you still haven''t figured out the situation. Do you think my many years of plan will be easily destroyed by you? "Turn your head around and take a good look at how many people are there. Ever since you returned to the Di Family, you have fallen into my control. And now, you still dare to talk big to me."


    Di Chen suddenly turned his head, and immediately saw that at the side of the plaza, there were four people surrounding him from all four sides.


    He recognized that these four people were all the Clan Elders of the Di Clan. In other words, all of these Clan Elders had been bribed and bribed by Di Dao?


    Di Chen found it hard to understand, what method did Di Dao use to bribe these people?


    At first, these elders had solemnly vowed to protect the rules and dignity of the Di Family, but now, they had fallen into disgrace.


    "What do you want? Do you want to make a move on Family Head? " Di Chen frowned as he looked at the surrounding people.


    "Family Head? You still don''t count, it''s up to me to decide now! " Di Dao sneered.


    "No matter what, I will let you die here today. I will completely destroy the roots of the Di Clan''s heir. That way, I can stabilize my position in the Family Head."


    At this moment, Di Dao''s wolfish ambition was completely revealed.


    "Attack!" Di Dao bellowed.


    Immediately, all the clan elders around him jumped up and pounced towards Di Chen.

 C24

    No matter how weak the elders were, they had already stepped into the Lifestealer Realm, so even if there was only one of them, it would be hard for Di Chen to deal with them.


    Di Chen could not help but reveal a bitter smile as he let out a heavy sigh and closed his eyes.


    He did not expect that after struggling for so long, he would think that he would finish everything he wanted to do today. However, his efforts were in vain, he overestimated his own abilities, and he would not even think that the entire Di Clan had fallen into Di Dao''s control, allowing him to use his Lifestealer Realm in such a circle of enemies.


    Strong gales swept through the place and the strong wind kept on blowing at his hair and clothes. Di Chen stood where he was with his eyes closed and did not move an inch, completely giving up on resisting.


    It''s just death!


    Although he was unwilling, when fate descended upon him, death would be nothing more than that.


    Suddenly, a person jumped up from the Di Clan''s courtyard wall and stood on top of the wall. Stretching out his hand, an enormous energy surged out from his palm and the four elders who were attacking Di Chen were instantly sent flying by the immense energy.


    Di Dao raised his head abruptly, and when he saw the person on the wall, he cried out, "Di Tian?"


    His expression changed drastically. Di Tian was an expert among experts, and he had teamed up with the God Fire Sect in the past to lock Di Tian inside the Soul Locking Tower. Now that Di Tian had run out, he couldn''t deal with him alone.


    "Lil ''Chen, are you alright?" On the wall, Di Tian smiled at Di Chen and shouted.


    Di Chen opened his eyes and exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Grandfather, you''re back!"


    Di Tian laughed, "That''s right. I''ve been looking for quite a lot of medicinal ingredients these past few days and have already recovered about seventy to eighty percent of my strength. Although I still can''t form a physical body, it''s enough to deal with these little bastards from the Di family."


    "Old man Di Tian, don''t be so presumptuous!" Suddenly, a harsh shout came from the side. Two figures turned into a black shadow and rushed out crazily. They rushed up the wall and started fighting with Di Tian.


    Di Chen could see clearly that he did not know any of the two people, they were extremely unfamiliar people. However, they were experts amongst experts, to think that they could actually compete with his grandfather, Di Tian.


    Seeing this, Di Dao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately the two protectors of the Divine Flame Sect had rushed over, otherwise, he really wouldn''t know how to deal with Di Tian.


    Now that Di Tian had been entangled by the people from the God Fire Cult, he only needed to quickly deal with Di Chen and this matter would be over.


    "Brat, you must be feeling desperate. Even your grandfather can''t save you. Just obediently die!" Di Dao grinned.


    "Di Dao, aren''t you bragging way too early!"


    Before Di Chen could reply, another three or four people walked in from the front door of the Di Clan. Di Chen turned his head in surprise and saw Shang Qing, Shang Yu and two other Shang Clan members walking over.


    "Bastard, are you done yet?!" Di Dao was so angry that he gritted his teeth. It''s fine if it''s just Di Tian, but now even the Shang Clan''s people are here. You need so many people to protect his life?


    "Bastard, today I must kill you. Even if it means risking my life, I will still kill you." The furious Di Dao roared and quickly rushed towards Di Chen. He raised his fist and smashed it towards Di Chen''s head.


    "Stop!" Shang Yu roared out, the two people behind him had already rushed out at an extremely fast speed, one of them waved his hand, releasing a gigantic sharp sword towards Di Dao. This is a martial soul, it can block Di Dao''s attack in advance.


    Sure enough, facing such a powerful attack, Di Dao could not underestimate it. His body suddenly moved to the side, twisted and went around to Di Chen''s back to dodge Sword Martial Spirit''s attack, at the same time striking his back, causing Di Chen to fly out, spitting two mouthfuls of blood.


    He heavily fell onto the ground and Shang Yu anxiously ran over to help Di Chen up. He asked anxiously and worriedly, "Big Brother Di Chen, are you alright? Are you all right? "


    Di Chen''s mouth kept bleeding and his body was in extreme pain, it was as if his entire body was being crushed. He used all his strength to tell Shang Yu: "Quick, get big brother Shang Qing to help save Elder Lin Ming. Elder Lin Ming is locked in the Di Family''s Sky Prison.


    I will save Elder Lin Ming. Brother Di Chen, you must hold on! Shang Yu cried from anxiousness, her tears were like pearls that had been cut off as they rolled down her exquisite white face, dripping onto Di Chen''s.


    Di Chen smiled slightly: "Little girl, you''ve already grown up this long, yet you still haven''t changed, you still love to cry so much. Look, the sunlight today is so good!"


    Such a dazzling sun was so bright that no one dared to look directly at it. However, Di Chen was able to look straight at it, and his gaze did not avoid it in the slightest, instead, his eyes grew huge in size. Then, he raised his right hand, as if he was trying to touch the sun with his blurry mind.


    "Sunshine, it''s so beautiful, if only this world was always filled with sunshine, how wonderful it would be! But, where there is sunlight, there will be darkness, and I will sweep away all darkness. Sun, lend me your power! "


    He spoke weakly, but at that moment, a shocking miracle happened.


    In the middle of Di Chen''s right palm, strands of sunlight actually flew over and continuously condensed in the center of his palm, finally turning into a shiny ball the size of a head. It was extremely dazzling, and when Shang Yu, who was supporting Di Chen, saw this scene, he opened his mouth wide in disbelief: "This ¡­ What was this? Could it be the legendary martial spirit of light? Impossible, the martial spirit of light has not appeared for hundreds of years. "


    The light orb in Di Chen''s hand also attracted countless people''s attention, including the two protectors of the God Fire Cult and Di Tian on the wall. They were also shocked by this scene.


    Everyone dumbfoundedly looked at the ball of light in Di Chen''s hand that was growing larger and larger!


    Under countless shocked gazes, after the light ball had condensed to a certain degree, it suddenly exploded. The light dots were like ten thousand sparks of fire as they scattered in all directions, the light constantly flickered, causing countless people present to let out miserable screams as they covered their eyes.


    The instantaneous flickering of light caused a huge stab wound to everyone''s eyes!


    This caused countless people to be unable to open their eyes after the light ball exploded.


    Everyone fell into darkness. However, it was not the darkness of the world, but the darkness within their hearts.


    Last night, after this last subconscious move, Di Chen had completely lost all of his strength.


    It was like a ghost wandering aimlessly in the distant galaxy. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was lying in an unfamiliar room. He turned his head slightly and saw a slim figure. It was Shang Yu.


    "Where is this?" The words seemed to have drained Di Chen''s strength.


    Shang Yu turned her head in pleasant surprise: "Big brother Di Chen, you''re awake! This is my house, I''m so worried, I''m afraid you won''t wake up anymore."


    Shang Yu jumped into Di Chen''s embrace excitedly, and almost knocked Di Chen out a mouthful of blood. Di Chen laughed bitterly and shook his head, "Girl, be gentle, I was originally alive, but if you hit me like this, it would be very easy for me to die."


    "You''re so annoying!" Shang Yu protested coquettishly as she sat up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.


    Di Chen smiled gently: "Alright, now you''re happy and you''re crying, now you''re worried and you''re crying too. I don''t want to call you lass and instead call you Love Weeper."


    "You''re the one who loves to cry. I''m just worried about you." Shang Yu said with a flushed face.


    Di Chen stopped smiling, and looked straight at Shang Yu and asked: "How is everything going? How long have I been in a coma for, has Elder Lin Ming been saved? "


    "So we took you to the Sky Prison and saved Elder Lin Ming. He is currently recuperating in another room!"


    "That''s good." Di Chen exhaled, and finally, he did what he had to do. Although he almost lost his life, it was just that his mission was completed.


    Relieved, he lay down weakly on the bed!


    A moment later, he frowned: "martial spirit of light, what are you talking about? Why haven''t I heard of it? Weren''t martial soul only armed with martial soul s, wind, rain, thunder and lightning? Why did another martial spirit of light appear? "


    Shang Yu looked at Di Chen in shock: "Big Brother Di Chen, have you not discovered that you have comprehended martial spirit of light? In the Di Family Plaza, before you fainted, you used the power of the martial spirit of light, using the sun''s sun to blind everyone''s eyes. Although wind, rain, lightning and other lightning are rare martial soul, compared to the martial spirit of light, they are still far off. "


    "martial spirit of light is the real one in a million. I have only heard of it before, but only a few hundred years ago did martial spirit of light appear. In the end, that person became a supreme existence, surpassing all martial artists to ascend to some unknown world. And right now, Big Brother Di Chen, you are also a martial spirit of light, I was not mistaken, you are the one and only choice out of ten thousand! "


    "martial spirit of light?" Di Chen raised his hand and stared blankly at his right palm.


    In reality, even he wasn''t sure what he had done before falling unconscious. Furthermore, he had always believed that he did not possess a martial soul. Did he really comprehend the martial spirit of light?


    But how was he going to use it?

 C25

    He did not understand, since everything was still in a confused state, and Shang Yu also did not say it clearly, he planned to find his grandfather, Di Tian, and ask him about it after he recovered some strength.


    After a moment of silence, Di Chen asked: Where''s Uncle Lin Ming? "Where is he now?"


    "He''s recuperating in his room." Shang Yu replied.


    "Hurry, take me to see him, I want to go see Uncle Lin Ming." Di Chen struggled to get up.


    Shang Yu immediately pressed down on Di Chen''s shoulders and shouted with dissatisfaction: "Big Brother Di Chen, what are you trying to do? How are you going to do that now? You should rest first, I''ll take you there when you''ve recovered. "


    "No, I''m going now. Girl, you will bring me there, right?" Di Chen''s attitude was firm, and his eyes sincerely looked at Shang Yu.


    Shang Yu was dumbstruck. Being stared at by Di Chen''s eyes caused his face to turn slightly red. He sighed and said, "Fine, you really have no choice. Since young, you have always been so willful.


    Shang Yu held onto Di Chen''s shoulder, her soft and tender body pressing against his as she left the room, following the corridor and headed towards the other room.


    Very quickly, they had arrived at the door of a room. Before they had even drawn near, Di Chen had already heard the commotion, and then they saw a disheveled Lin Ming throwing himself onto the ground at the doorstep, and roaring loudly: "Don''t stop me, I want to go see my master.


    Lin Ming''s attitude scared the servants by the side quite a bit, they did not dare to go up and support him, and could only watch from the side in a daze.


    Shang Yu smiled bitterly, "Is everyone from the Di Family like that?" "No matter what, he doesn''t even care about his own life."


    Shang Yu supported Di Chen and walked over. Seeing this, the two maids bowed respectfully to Shang Yu and said, "Young miss, you''re here. This mister is not recuperating properly, we have no choice."


    Shang Yu waved her hand, "Alright, you guys go down first, leave this place to me."


    The two maidservants took their leave!


    Di Chen lowered his head and called out softly, "Uncle Lin Ming, are you alright?"


    Lin Ming raised his head, his vacant gaze passing through his disheveled hair as he looked at Di Chen in a daze: "Little Chen, you''re back. When did you return? "Are you hurt?"


    Lin Ming did not know anything about what Di Chen had done during this period of time, so when he saw Di Chen in front of him, he felt extremely puzzled.


    Di Chen smiled: Yes, I came back to participate in the Clan Competition, but was targeted by Di Dao, so I suffered some injuries. But as long as Uncle Lin Ming is fine, then everything will be fine! "


    Di Chen nodded, of course he knew that this matter was related to him even when his grandfather came out of the Soul Locking Tower.


    Uncle Lin, don''t get too excited. Although Grandpa Di is back, his current state is not too stable, he can disappear into thin air at any time, and he has been relying on the soul stones to survive. For this reason, we specifically got a Soul Gathering Tower for Grandpa Di. Shang Yu softly explained at the side.


    Lin Ming turned his head to look at Shang Yu and asked suspiciously, "You are?"


    Shang Yu revealed a cute and sweet smile, "Uncle Lin, don''t you remember me? I am Shang Yu, I used to frequently go to the Di Clan to play with Brother Di Chen. "


    "Xiao Yu, you''re Xiao Yu?" Lin Ming looked at Shang Yu in shock.


    Many years ago, when he saw Shang Yu at that time, she was still just a little girl. She looked quite cute, but she was not as slim and graceful as she was now.


    After being stunned for a moment, Lin Ming said urgently: "Xiao Yu, you should know where Master is, quickly take me to see him. As long as I can see him, I''m satisfied."


    Shang Yu cast her gaze at Di Chen. It was not that she did not want to agree, it was just that the two of them were injured.


    Di Chen nodded his head and said: "Little girl, please take us along. I also happen to want to meet Grandfather!"


    Shang Yu''s gaze swept across the two of them before finally furiously stomping her feet. "You two really are ¡­ Fine, I''ll bring you guys there, but if something happens, I don''t care."


    "Don''t worry, nothing will happen to him!" Di Chen revealed a gentle smile.


    Seeing Di Chen''s smile, Shang Yu''s heart softened even more. She supported Di Chen as he walked in front, with him following closely behind.


    Very quickly, they arrived at the back of the mountain and reached the top of the mountain. There was a jade-green lawn far away, and Di Chen could already see a tall spire in front of them. What was different from the others was, this tower only had two floors, and the structure was extremely simple and crude.


    Di Chen turned his head to look at Shang Yu, and asked puzzledly: "What are those papers on the wall used for?"


    Shang Yu looked at it and replied, "Those are talismans, because this is the Soul Gathering Tower. Its purpose is to absorb the soul power in the surrounding area to help Grandpa Di recuperate his soul, so the structure, layout, and layout of this tower have all been carefully studied. "Especially with the 15th moon, absorbing the Sky and Earth energy is of great benefit to Grandpa Di''s soul power."


    Di Chen nodded: "So that''s how it is!"


    However, Lin Ming, who was behind him, deeply knitted his brows and asked doubtfully, "Little Chen, just what is going on? Why is it that after Master''s soul form, he can only rely on the Soul Gathering Tower to survive? "


    Di Chen sighed: "This is a long story. According to what I know, Grandfather was framed by Di Dao and the God Fire Cult, causing him to be gravely injured, and then, his soul was suppressed inside the Soul Locking Tower. Last time, by chance, I saved Grandpa Di by chance, but Grandfather''s soul form was completely useless to me."


    "The Fire God Cult!" Lin Ming clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and bellowed: "That evil sect, damn, when I recover from my injuries, I will think of a way to destroy that evil sect!"


    Di Chen shook his head, "Uncle Lin Ming, don''t be anxious. We don''t know what kind of conspiracy it is, and the Divine Fire Sect is full of experts. It still depends on what grandpa says! "


    As they talked, the three of them had already pushed open the heavy door of the Soul-Sealing Pagoda. They walked into the tower. The floor was smooth and the space was spacious. It looked empty without any sturdy items. In the middle of the space, Di Tian was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Hearing the sound of movement, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw Di Chen and the other two, his gaze paused for a moment before he smiled and said, "Chen''er, your injuries are not even healed yet, why are you here?"


    Di Chen smiled: "Uncle Lin Ming insisted on coming to see you, so I came along."


    All the complex emotions intertwined on his face. He was clearly an old man, but now, he was moved to the point of tears. He ran to Di Tian in a few steps, knelt down, and kowtowed for a long time without lifting his head. Then, he asked in a trembling voice, "Master, where have you been all these years?"


    "If you are not in the Di Clan, the entire Di Clan will be in chaos. Di Dao had forcefully taken control of the Di Clan, making us people with no status at all. This was nothing, even Little Chen had no place to go, so he could only live in the woodshed all year round. If it were not for some fortuitous encounter, I might not be able to raise my head and see him for the rest of my life. "


    Lin Ming, who was always mature and steady, who was not good at talking, felt wronged like a child right now, and kept on talking in front of Di Tian.


    Di Tian''s expression softened. He raised his head and lightly patted Lin Ming''s shoulder, and said with a smile: "Alright, you aren''t a child anymore. There are many things you should be able to bear. "Don''t be like that, stand up and be like a man!"


    Lin Ming secretly wiped away his tears and straightened his body, but he still remained kneeling and did not stand up.


    Di Tian let out a long sigh, "After so many years, I have also seen through it. Perhaps everything is fated. I also did not expect that one day, the entire Di Family would fall to this state. However, Di Dao''s actions are indeed intolerable. Wanting to break our bloodline and still forcefully control the Di Family, is already beyond my tolerance. "


    "Yes sir!" Lin Ming said heavily, "I will definitely think of a way to eradicate Di Dao and revive my Di Family''s reputation. But Master, how did you become like this? What exactly happened in the past few years? "


    Di Tian raised his head. His eyes were far away. His thoughts seemed to go back to the past, slowly recounting what had happened back then.


    When Di Chen''s parents had disappeared for no reason, Di Tian had already discovered that the entire Di Family was being targeted by the God Fire Cult. Therefore, he suspected that Di Chen''s parents had been killed by the God Fire Cult or imprisoned. In the end, Di Dao told him that he knew where his parents were.


    Di Tian anxiously returned and let Di Dao lead him to search. He did not expect that he had fallen into a trap designed by the joint forces of the God Fire Sect and Di Dao.


    He fell into a large, savage formation, and his body was immediately strangled to death. Only the existence of his soul was left, and he was then forcefully locked inside the Soul-Sealing Pagoda.


    After that, he did not know anything about what happened outside until Di Chen saved him!


    He did not expect to meet Shang Qing halfway, and at that time, he had almost used up all of his soul power. Shang Qing said that he had a way to help Di Tian recover his soul power, so Di Tian followed Shang Qing to the Shang family, creating this Soul Locking Tower.


    After hearing all of this, Di Chen couldn''t help but ask anxiously, "Grandfather, are my father and mother really in the hands of the God Fire Cult?"


    Di Tian didn''t say anything. His eyes revealed a hint of sorrow. He shook his head and said, "I can''t explain it clearly. Even if it really is in the hands of the God Fire Cult, I don''t know whether it is life or death. Sigh, that God Fire Cult is not an ordinary existence. There are numerous experts within, and their Martial King Realm s can hold their ground in front of them. As for the Lifestealer Realm s, they might not even be able to withstand them. This is also the reason why I have been locked up for so many years! "

 C26

    "The Divine Flame Cult." Di Chen''s eyes spewed fire.


    "I don''t care how many experts he has. If my parents are truly in their hands, then even if I have to risk my life, I will still save my parents."


    Di Tian hurriedly comforted her, "Chen''er, don''t be in such a hurry. This matter needs to be done slowly. With your current strength, it will be difficult to do so. What you need to do now is take it back to the Di Family and let them regain their prestige. "


    Once this matter was mentioned, Di Chen bowed his head and said bitterly: "But the situation now is very difficult, even though Di Dao has been through this, and the prestige of the current Di Dao is no longer there. "But I''ve offended the Jun Family, and now that they want my life, how can I take it back?"


    Di Tian smiled. "Don''t worry, the Shang family will help you. Say it, Xiao Yu."


    Shang Yu''s face reddened, and she smiled sweetly: "Don''t worry, Grandfather. Big Brother Di Chen''s matter is my matter, I will definitely help him."


    Di Tian said with a smile, "That''s a good kid!"


    "Master, what are you going to do next?" "Have you been here all this time?" Lin Ming asked with wide eyes.


    Di Tian sighed, "I am already lucky to be able to live one more day. But don''t worry, as long as I stay in this Soul Gathering Tower and my soul power reaches a certain level, I will be able to go out for a while. Don''t worry, take a rest for a few days. Once your injuries are fully healed, I will return with you to the Di Clan. I would like to see what kind of big wave Di Dao can pick up. "


    "I understand!" Di Chen solemnly nodded, then sat down beside Di Tian and said: "Grandfather, I have another question to ask you, the little girl said that my Lifestealer Realm was comprehended by the martial spirit of light, but I don''t know how to use it, and it was previously a coincidence. Also, I don''t really believe that what I have comprehended is the martial spirit of light? "


    "That''s right!" Di Tian laughed and said, "I also saw the scene at the Di Family with my own eyes. It was because the martial spirit of light that you personally unleashed blinded everyone that we were able to retreat. I can tell you clearly that martial spirit of light is the strongest type of all of the martial soul and his usage is not unique. "


    "The last time you used the most basic type, it didn''t cause too much damage to people. When you reach an extreme level of doubt and comprehension, it''s not impossible for you to destroy the heavens and the earth."


    Di Tian explained slowly, but what he said was shocking.


    Di Chen opened his mouth in shock: "Is it really that powerful?"


    He looked down at his hands and asked, "But how do I use it? I really don''t feel anything at all. "


    Di Tian said, "It''s very simple. You can use the martial spirit of light when there''s a sun. When summoning the martial soul, you must try to let go of yourself and integrate your body with the heaven and earth. That way, you can experience it."


    "So that''s how it is!" Di Chen was suddenly enlightened.


    Previously, when he thought that he had not comprehended a martial soul and thus had never tried it before, knowing that he was seriously injured and only had half his life remaining, he lay in Shang Yu''s embrace, completely relaxed. This was the first time he felt the existence of a martial spirit of light.


    "Okay, do you have any more questions?" Di Tian let out a long breath.


    "If there aren''t any problems, you can head back first. After all I''ve said, I''ve wasted quite a bit of soul power."


    Di Chen stood up: "Then grandpa, you rest first. We''ll come see you in a few days."


    "Let''s go!" Di Tian waved his hand gently.


    Di Chen and the other two turned around and left. After exiting the Soul Gathering Tower, Lin Ming stopped in their tracks and asked Di Chen: "Little Chen, what are you going to do next? Do you want to go back to the Di Family? "


    Di Chen nodded his head: "This is what I want, Grandfather also wants me to do it, I cannot let the Di Clan fall into the hands of a cruel and unscrupulous guy like Di Dao."


    "Alright, then you should make a good plan. It''s best if you borrow the Shang Family''s power to defeat Di Dao in one go." Lin Ming said.


    Lin Ming raised his head, and with a face brimming with radiance, he said, "I''m not going back. I''m going to look for the God Fire Sect, I must figure out everything, what exactly is the God Fire Sect plotting, and I must avenge my Master."


    Di Chen''s face was filled with astonishment: But your injuries, what''s more, Grandfather said just now, that the people from the Divine Fire Cult are extremely powerful, and their Martial King Realm is not even enough to enter, Uncle Lin Ming, if you go, won''t you die?


    "What? Are you looking down on my strength?" Lin Ming glared, then laughed: "Don''t worry, I know what I am doing, I will not recklessly take my life, after all, I only have one life."


    "Yes, I''ve made up my mind." Lin Ming said firmly.


    "Yes, I am not a three-year-old child anymore. I will leave first. You still have a lot of companions. You must take back the Di Family. When I come back, I must see you again." Lin Ming exposed a smile to Di Chen, then turned and left in big strides.


    Looking at Lin Ming''s departing figure, Di Chen could not hide the worry in his eyes, "I hope Uncle Lin Ming has had a smooth journey. Even if there are no results, don''t let anything happen to him!"


    Shang Yu smiled from the side, "Big Brother Di Chen, you don''t have to worry. Uncle Lin Ming has also experienced a lot, how could he not have a plan?"


    "I hope so!"


    When Lin Tao found out that his father had gone to find out about the Divine Fire Cult''s information and hadn''t even met with him face to face, his expression was blank. He slumped down on the chair and said in a daze, "How could this be? "Then what should I do?"


    He had exhausted all of his efforts to save his father, yet in the end, Lin Ming had left without leaving even a single word behind.


    Di Chen walked forward, and lightly patted his shoulder to comfort him, "It''s alright, it''s just for now. Uncle Lin Ming should be back soon. "Our main goal right now is to get the Di Family back so that we can all live in peace and not be so confused!"


    Lin Tao lowered his head and did not say a word.


    "Calm down first!" Di Chen said as Monk Yu walked out of the room.


    The moment he stepped out of the door, Di Chen immediately saw Shang Qing standing in the courtyard. Looking at him expressionlessly, he asked: "Have you settled the matter?"


    It seemed like Shang Qing was very clear about his actions.


    Di Chen nodded his head: "Yes, it has almost been dealt with. Thank you for saving my life big brother Shang. You saved me once again."


    Shang Qing''s expression did not change, and he said indifferently: "It''s not that I want to save you, but rather, don''t blindly thank me. When are you planning to return to the Di Family? "


    Di Chen said: "I will stay here for a few days, I can''t delay this matter. Once I have fully recovered, I will need to go back and settle this with Di Dao."


    "Tell me when you need help!" Shang Qing left a message behind before he turned around and left.


    Shang Yu laughed, "Big brother Di Chen, don''t mind him. My big brother is just like that, with a cold face and a warm heart, if he doesn''t want to save you, then he wouldn''t go."


    "I understand, but your brother really does have a good sister. You know him so well!" Di Chen said with a smile.


    "What nonsense are you talking about, I know big brother Di Chen the best." Shang Yu''s face turned red.


    The intimacy between the two was quite flirtatious. After all, Shang Yu was his fiancee.


    But just at this moment, a young man in green walked past, seeing this scene, his face was filled with rage. He rushed forward and punched Di Chen in the chest, how could Di Chen, who had not fully recovered from the injury, withstand this punch, and was forced to retreat a few steps, clutching his chest and coughing non-stop.


    "You hoodlum, how dare you tease Xiaoyu, how about I kill you right now?" The green robed youth looked vicious as he stared at Di Chen.


    "Shang Jian, what are you trying to do?" Shang Yu bellowed in anger, she anxiously turned around, supported Di Chen''s arm and asked in concern: "Big brother Di Chen, are you alright?"


    The green robed young man was not convinced and shouted angrily: "Xiao Yu, what the hell is this thing? It''s worth it for you to be so good to him. Even I have never shown such a gentle attitude. "


    Shang Yu raised his head, his ice-cold eyes fixed onto Shang Jian. He gritted his teeth and said in a fierce voice, "Shang Jian, first, clear up the relationship between us. We are only distant cousins, other than that, you and I have no other relations. Originally, I considered you as a friend, but your current actions are not even worthy of my friend. "


    "You ¡­" Shang shaoye clenched his teeth as he fiercely stared at Di Chen and cursed: "It''s this scoundrel here, right? You actually said these words to me because of this scoundrel. "Good, very good. Today, I will kill him. I want to see what else you can do!"


    The flustered Shang Jian drew the snow white sword on his waist and pointed at Di Chen: "Kid, raise your head. If you are a man, then fight with me. For Xiao Yu, I will let you know, trash like you are not worthy of Xiao Yu."


    "How dare you!" Shang Yu''s face was frosted over as he blocked in front of Di Chen, staring deadly at the green clothed youth: "If you dare to hurt a single hair on his head, today I''ll kill you on the spot."


    Shang Jian was both angry and anxious. His heart was filled with a monstrous rage. However, facing Shang Yu, he was helpless to do anything.


    But just at this moment, a hand rested on Shang Yu''s shoulder, gently patting him, Di Chen smiled and said: "Xiao Yu, get out of the way, this brother here purely doesn''t like me, let me spar with him, or let him beat me up, he feels better."


    Shang Yu turned to the side and said with a frown, "But, Big Brother Di Chen, you are still wounded, you don''t need to care about him, I will definitely not let him hurt you."

 C27

    Shang Yu was startled, she knew that Di Chen was strong, and said worriedly: "Then be careful, don''t force yourself, I will help you in time."


    Di Chen slightly nodded his head, raised his head and looked at Shang Jian, and laughed: "Brother Shang Jian, you''re probably at the ninth level of the Warrior Realm, at your age, you should be considered to be the leader of the younger generation, right?"


    "Don''t call me brother, you''re not worthy. Fighter 9-dan, you will never be able to reach that level in your entire life, right? Trash like you. " Shang Jian snorted in disdain.


    "Fighter 9?" Di Chen laughed: "Then I really won''t be able to reach that level in my entire lifetime."


    He already had the Lifestealer Realm, how could he still reach the ninth level of the Fighter realm, and make his cultivation fall back? This was something he had never seen before.


    "That''s why I said you''d never be able to reach my level. Do you understand?" Shang Jian''s attitude was extremely arrogant.


    Di Chen smiled slightly: "Alright, didn''t you want to teach me a lesson? "Make your move. Defeat me with your Level 9 Warrior strength."


    "Don''t think I don''t dare. I''m going to beat you until all your teeth are on the ground." With a snort, Shang Jian raised his sword and pierced straight towards Di Chen''s head.


    Di Chen had no weapon in his hands, plus he was injured, it was very immoral to bully a wounded person. But looking at Shang Jian''s attitude, it was not because he wanted to beat Di Chen to the ground and look for his teeth, but wanted to stab Di Chen to death on the spot.


    Di Chen did not comment, his body slowly retreated, dodging Shang Jian''s attack. Shang Jian was startled, his face immediately filled with rage, and quickly attacked a few more times, but were all dodged by Di Chen. This made Shang Jian feel extremely uncomfortable, he felt as if he had randomly poked a hole in the air, and scolded: "You piece of trash, can you stand and fight with me like a man?"


    Di Chen asked with a smile: "First let me say, if I injure you, you won''t be angry."


    "You''re so damn angry, you can''t possibly beat me. If you can beat me, you can kill me or cut me to pieces!" Shang Jian said unhappily.


    "Alright, you asked for it." Di Chen smirked and laughed. He suddenly raised his hand and a huge power surged out, instantly controlling Shang Jian''s body and preventing him from moving. Then, he waved his hand, as if he was a giant invisible hand grabbing onto Shang Jian and smashing him into the walls of the courtyard.


    Before Shang Jian could land on the ground, he was lifted up by the giant hand again. He floated in the air, his feet unable to touch the ground.


    Shang Jian was already completely dumbstruck as he stared at Di Chen blankly. After a long while, he could not react and asked in a daze, "What kind of demonic technique is this? Why did this happen? Who''s helping you? Could it be Xiao Yu? "


    He turned his head to look at Shang Yu, only to discover that she was only standing motionlessly on the spot.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, I won''t be able to reach the ninth level of the Warrior. I wonder if my Lifestealer Realm will be enough to deal with you?"


    "Lifestealer Realm? You actually have cultivation strength at the Lifestealer Realm? " Shang Jian''s expression changed drastically, his mouth agape.


    No matter what, he would never have thought that Di Chen, this boy with such an ordinary appearance, would actually already have reached Lifestealer Realm. No wonder why the other party was able to accurately state his cultivation level the first time they met.


    When one''s cultivation level was higher than others, one would be able to easily see through the other''s background. This was the law of cultivation.


    However, this was still secondary. If he knew that Di Chen had single-handedly broken into the Di Family and had killed Jun Wu Yi in the restaurant, Shang Jian would probably be scared out of his wits.


    And now, Shang Jian was in great shock. Being lifted up into the air by an invisible force, no matter how he struggled, it was useless, he was unable to break free from the control of that large hand.


    When he found out that Di Chen was merely at Lifestealer Realm, he gave up resisting in despair!


    How could a warrior compete with Lifestealer Realm? If one had to make a comparison, a martial artist would just be a child, and Lifestealer Realm would only be a grown-up adult, even if they had Lifestealer Realm injuries.


    With a wave of his large hand, he threw Shang Jian out. With a blood-curdling scream, Shang Jian was thrown onto a tree to the side. Hanging on the tree branch, he trembled in fear.


    Shang Yu looked on dumbfoundedly. At this moment, he joyfully threw himself into Di Chen''s embrace, his face flushed red from excitement. "Big Brother Di Chen, you''re too awesome. You really did not disappoint me! "


    Di Chen pinched Shang Yu''s nose, and laughed: "Enough, you praise me like this, I almost don''t know where I am now?"


    "At our Shang Clan, when is Big Brother Di Chen going to get married? As long as we''re married, we can do a lot of comfortable things! " Shang Yu''s face flushed red as she said shyly.


    "Cough, cough, cough ¡­" Di Chen almost coughed out blood.


    What was a comfortable thing? He wasn''t too sure either, but when did Shang Yu become so open-minded? Who did she learn it from?


    After that, Di Chen stayed at the Shang family for three days to recuperate from his injuries.


    Three days later, Grandfather Di Tian left the Soul Sealing Pagoda. Shang Qing, Shang Yu, Qin Suer, Lin Tao and Di Chen returned to the Di Clan.


    They were still the same people; the only missing person was Xu Qian. Since the big battle at the Di Family a few days ago, Xu Qian had disappeared, and Di Chen did not pursue the matter, after all, they had met by chance and their relationship was not deep, it did not really matter to him whether he lived or died.


    Returning to the Di Family residence, Di Chen looked very cautious. After everything that had happened, Di Dao would definitely be on guard and would not let him take down the Di Family easily.


    "Chen''er, wait a moment!" Behind him, his grandfather called out to Di Chen.


    Di Chen turned his head around at a loss, and asked: "Grandfather, what''s wrong?"


    Di Tian did not say a word. He lowered his head and took out a green storage ring, handing it over to Di Chen.


    Di Chen opened his eyes wide, and blurted out: "This is the Yang Ring Ring?"


    Previously, when he rescued his grandfather from the Soul-Sealing Pagoda, Di Chen had seen him, and knew about this matter. However, at that time, Di Chen did not take it, because even if Di Chen took it with him, he would not be able to keep it on himself.


    As expected, his grandfather smiled and said: "This is a keepsake necessary to become a Family Head, Di Dao has always wanted to get it from me. It''s a pity that I have been hiding this for so many years, he has never had a chance. "Now that you have returned to the Di Family, with the Yang Ring, you will definitely be able to command everyone. No one will dare to disobey."


    nodded his head with a stern expression. Previously, he did not dare take it, but the situation was different, he had to take it. Reaching out to receive the ring, Di Chen nodded and said: "Rest assured, grandfather, I know what to do!"


    Therefore, he held his head high and held his chest high, leading the crowd into the Di Family''s residence. However, as soon as he stepped into the front yard of the Di Family, everyone was stunned.


    The smell of blood, the disgusting stench, and the dead bodies all over the ground. It was as if the entire Di Family was shrouded in a dark magic barrier.


    Di Chen was dumbstruck, his eyes sweeping across the corpses one by one. All of them were members of the Di Clan, their blood had already dried up, it was obvious that this was not the result of today''s events.


    "Why is this happening?" His expression was dull as he slowly walked forward, stepping over the corpses and into the hall. As before, the hall was filled with the corpses of the maids and servants, not even a single chicken or dog remained.


    "Why did it turn out like this!?" He felt as if someone had heavily struck his head with an iron hammer, causing him to feel a little dizzy.


    "It was the Jun Family!" Shang Qing''s voice suddenly came from behind. He turned his head in a daze and looked at Shang Qing suspiciously. It was obvious that he wanted to know why Shang Qing had come to the conclusion that it was the Jun Family.


    Shang Qing then picked up a green jade pendant in his hands and said to Di Chen: "This is a jade ornament that the Jun Family often wears. Other than the servants, everyone else wear it. So I''m sure that the Jun Family has been here for quite some time, and they''ve had a fierce fight. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have missed their chance to find out about the fall of the jade pendant. "


    Di Chen walked over quickly and took the jade pendant from Shang Qing''s hands. He looked at it carefully, and confirmed that there was a gentleman clearly carved on the jade pendant.


    In fact, this matter was not that hard to understand. After he had killed the son of the Jun Family, Jun Wu Yi, the Jun Family must have been extremely furious, and unleashed a crazy revenge on the Di Family to seek revenge on them. In the end, they had not been able to find Di Chen, and had poured their anger on the Di Family and killed all of the Di Family''s chickens and dogs.


    When Di Tian saw this, his eyes glazed over, and he suddenly aged dozens of years!


    This was the Di Family that he had gone through so much trouble to manage. To be reduced to such a state today, how could he not feel upset?


    No matter how calm a person was, it was impossible for him to accept the fact that his life had been ruined!


    Di Chen''s hand was tightly holding onto the jade pendant. He didn''t say anything, and only hung his head as he looked all over the place, searching thoroughly inside and outside, but he still didn''t see Di Dao''s figure. He sat on the floor of the room, dejectedly, with Shang Yu accompanying him.


    If he hadn''t killed Jun Wu Yi out of impulse, he wouldn''t have caused such a disaster.


    "Di Dao, Di Dao!" Di Chen gritted his teeth, "Didn''t you wholeheartedly want to become a Family Head? Why did you turn the Di family into this? Where did you go? Why did this happen? "Where the hell are you?"


    Shang Yu gently embraced Di Chen''s shoulders and said softly, "Big Brother Di Chen, don''t be sad. Now is not the time to be sad. What we have to do is find out what really happened. Let''s go back first. We''ll slowly plan after your mood has recovered! "


    Di Chen turned his head and saw Di Tian. He crawled up and kneeled in front of Di Tian with his head lowered, asking, "Grandfather, did I do wrong? If I hadn''t killed Jun Wu Yi, then our Di Family definitely wouldn''t have suffered such a disaster. This is all my fault, this is all my fault! "


    Di Tian patted on Di Chen''s head lightly and smiled: "Don''t blame yourself, no one will blame you. I am very clear that if you don''t kill Jun Wu Yi, he will definitely kill you. No one is right, no one is wrong. Let''s get up and go back! "

 C28

    "Are they all the bodies of the Di Family members?" Di Chen blankly raised his head.


    "I''ll get someone to deal with it!" Shang Qing said calmly from behind.


    "Big Brother Shang, sorry for troubling you." Di Chen said gratefully.


    Shang Qing nodded, and did not say anything!


    After returning to the Shang Clan, Di Chen was very tired. He slept on the bed for a day and a night, and even though he woke up from his sleep the next day, he still laid on the bed and did not get up. The door was tightly closed, and the quiet space seemed to be able to find some comfort.


    At this time, the room door was pushed open with a bang, and Shang Qing slowly walked in. He looked at Di Chen coldly: "Are you determined to be a cripple? After all, struggling is too painful. As a cripple, you don''t have to bear too much sin. "


    Di Chen sat up, rubbed his temples, and turned to look at Shang Qing: "Big Brother Shang? What did you say? I was just too tired and wanted to take a rest. "


    Shang Qing sneered: "Stop looking for excuses, do you think I can''t tell that you are escaping from reality, and you think that the destruction of the Di Family was all your fault? But what''s the use of lying like this? The Di Family will not recover, and the sinners will still be at large. Even if the enemy really is the Jun Family, with your current condition, do you dare to go and challenge the Jun Family? "


    Shang Qing, who usually cherished his words as if they were gold, actually started to talk at length at this moment, as if he hated the fact that he had failed to live up to his words.


    Di Chen looked at Shang Qing blankly, and did not know what to say, because Shang Qing had indeed poked a hole in his heart.


    After Shang Qing excitedly finished speaking, his face regained its calmness and he said in a deep voice, "If you want to stand up again, and give the Di Family justice, and give yourself justice, then you''d better get up and take a bath and change into a set of clean clothes. I''ll be waiting for you in your room."


    Di Chen got up, and as he sank, he could not change anything. He had understood this principle a long time ago, it was just that he did not want to shake off his sorrowful emotions.


    Now, Shang Qing''s words were like an iron hammer that awakened him!


    He took a bath and changed into a clean set of clothes. His whole body felt relaxed, and his mood had also recovered quite a bit.


    Shang Qing was currently sitting in his room, reading a book. He raised his head slightly and saw Di Chen: "Not bad, this is what a person should be like!"


    Di Chen rubbed his nose, and laughed bitterly: "Then, I was just putting on an act earlier."


    He sat down on a chair by the side and asked Shang Qing while looking at him: "Brother Shang, do you have any solution to this problem? In fact, I''ve considered the possibility that the Jun Family is one of the most powerful families in the Ling''an City. With my current strength, even if you''re willing to help, you might not be able to stand up for the Jun Family. If I go now, I''ll instead take the initiative to deliver myself to your doorstep! "


    Shang Qing frowned: "Who said you wouldn''t help me?"


    After Di Chen heard this, he almost slid from his chair to the ground and angrily said: "If Big Brother Shang is not willing to help me, then what did you want me to do?"


    "I will help you, but not with your current strength." I will help you, but not with your current strength. Shang Qing said indifferently.


    "Martial King Realm, can it be that simple?!" Di Chen let out a helpless sigh. Although he had already reached the Lifestealer Realm and there was still the Sky Text Scripture in his body, these things were not of much help as he could not become a fatty with a single bite.


    Shang Qing took out a piece of jade from his chest pocket and handed it over to Di Chen: "This is the Sky Realm Academy''s entry quota. As long as you hold this jade, you will have the qualification to participate in the Sky Realm Academy''s recruitment quota. "Don''t underestimate this jade. It would be hard for even an ordinary person to get a single spot."


    Di Chen looked at the jade in Shang Qing''s hand in shock, and instantly opened his eyes wide: "Sky Realm Academy, that is the legendary Sky Realm Academy that stood in the middle of all Martial Region Continent, and is also known as one of the three great academies. It is said that all the people that come out are the heaven''s pride experts with an earth-shattering cultivation."


    "That''s right!" Shang Qing slightly nodded: "Sky Realm Academy gave me a spot. He wanted me to go further in my cultivation, but I didn''t need that at all. I''m not too interested in the academy''s rules and regulations, so if I give you this spot, it''ll definitely be helpful to you. One more thing, Xiao Yu is a student of the Sky Realm Academy, don''t you want to go to school and spend the night with her so that he won''t be snatched away by other better students?! "


    "This ¡­" Di Chen''s expression was very awkward, he knew what Shang Qing said was reasonable, but he really couldn''t accept such a precious item.


    Moreover, the entry was originally for Shang Qing, and now that Shang Qing had given it to him, this great kindness, how could he repay it!


    Although Shang Qing said that he did not care, but that only meant that Shang Qing''s character was noble, and that it was still worth it.


    "What are you still standing there for?" Shang Qing glanced at Di Chen indifferently, and continued: "Take it. There is still one and a half months until the Sky Realm Academy''s recruitment event, and just the journey to Sky Realm Academy will take half a month, so make haste."


    "The day you come out of Sky Realm Academy, the entire earth will be at your feet. What else can''t be resolved!"


    Di Chen hesitated and said, "But I still have to take the Humanities Exam."


    Shang Qing was so angry that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. Now that you have such a great opportunity in front of you, you actually said that you want to take some useless liberal arts exam? Is there something wrong with your head? So what if you were the top scholar, if you were the top scholar, would you use your status to suppress the Jun Family? Don''t be ridiculous, okay? "


    Di Chen remained silent. He did not participate in the Humanities Exam just for the top scholar, in truth, that title was not important at all. The main thing was that the Heavenly Classic in his body and the Saint''s brush were both crucial points in his progress.


    Perhaps he could gain some insight in the examination hall and help him break through the ranks of the scholars, which would allow him to use even more formula!


    His battle strength had greatly increased.


    Thinking to this, Di Chen firmly said: "The Humanities examinations are the key to my plans, I must attend."


    Seeing Di Chen''s resolute expression, Shang Qing sighed helplessly. "I really don''t know what''s going on in your head. There''s still half a month until the Humanities exams. You can rush to the Sky Realm Academy after taking the Humanities exams, there''s still time. "


    "Mm, then I''ll thank you for your help first!" Di Chen thanked him respectfully.


    He took the jade and placed it in his pocket.


    "When are you planning to leave?" Shang Qing asked.


    "As soon as possible, because it will take me some time to take part in the Imperial examinations." I''ll tell the others first and see how they react. " Di Chen said.


    "Alright, arrange it yourself!" Shang Qing did not speak further, and continued to read.


    Di Chen told Grandpa Di Tian about this matter. Grandfather didn''t have any objections and supported his actions, only telling him to be careful along the way.


    When Di Chen told Shang Yu about this matter, Shang Yu was very happy, because she could finally live together with Di Chen in the same academy.


    Di Chen told Qin Suer and Lin Tao about this matter. The two of them indicated that wherever Di Chen wanted to go, they would follow him.


    Thus, everything went smoothly. The next morning, Di Chen bid farewell to the Shang Clan and sat in the horse carriage, leading the group towards the direction of the Imperial Examinations. With his current speed, he estimated that he would be able to make it by the afternoon.


    In the carriage, Qin Suer sat beside Di Chen, smiling as she said: "Di Chen, I have refined a new type of pill that can raise the Qi in my body. Take a look at its effects."


    Qin Suer cupped her hands together and held up a dark green pellet.


    "Again!" Di Chen was very vexed as he looked at the pellet in Qin Suer''s palm in a daze. He said with a bitter smile, "I heard that the more vivid the snake''s poison is, the more. I wonder if the pellet is the same."


    Qin Suer pouted. "Why is it like this, it''s not like I''m going to poison you, I just don''t know what the effects of the pills I concoct will be like, so why don''t you try it!"


    "Well, there''s nothing I can do about it." Di Chen looked at Qin Suer gently, picked up the pill and threw it into her mouth, chewing on it.


    "I really don''t understand why you want me to follow you. I can''t take the Imperial examinations, I don''t have any cultivation, and I don''t even have the qualifications to enter the Sky Realm Academy. If you ask me to go with you, wouldn''t that be a burden? " Lin Tao had a resentful look on his face.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen chewed on his pill and looked at Lin Tao in a daze.


    "Big Brother Di Chen, what are you eating? I want to eat too!" Seeing Di Chen''s gentle attitude towards Qin Suer, Shang Yu was jealous.


    "How is the effect of Di Chen''s pill?" Qin Suer looked at him urgently.


    "¡­"


    For a moment, the entire carriage was in chaos. Di Chen''s body was trapped inside, his ears were buzzing because of the noise, and he couldn''t really hear anything that was said.


    "Stop, stop, can you stop arguing? I''ll answer them one by one." Di Chen raised his hand gloomily and interrupted the three people''s voices.


    He first turned to Qin Suer and said: "The pills are very delicious, the taste is not bad, as for the effects, I can''t feel them yet."


    Then he turned to Shang Yu on the other side and said, "What I''m eating is chewing gum, do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, I''ll vomit on you. "


    Only then did he look up at Lin Tao and say, "Although you are a useless burden, it is not completely useless to help me block the blade at critical moments, or to help me run around and wash my feet."


    "Well, are you satisfied with this answer? Are there any more problems? " Di Chen swept his eyes across the three of them one by one.


    In the end, he discovered that the three of them were looking at him with looks of disdain!


    At the entrance of Lin An City, a young man was happily talking to a person beside him. If Di Chen saw this, he would definitely recognize this young man with one glance; this young man was Xu Qian, who had disappeared halfway.


    Xu Qian chatted with the people by his side as he watched Di Chen ride on the carriage into the distance. A smile formed on his lips as he said, "Di Chen, have a safe journey, our Sky Realm Academy will see you again. I hope that you won''t be surprised when the time comes."

 C29

    When afternoon arrived, the carriage entered the Hong Huang City.


    The Hong Huang City was the main city of the Martial Region Continent, built at the center, it connected to all directions, and the bustle of the Hong Huang City was unimaginable.


    The examinations were held here, and Sky Realm Academy, one of the three great academies, was located a hundred kilometers away from the Capital, there were connections between each other. It was said that the Sky Realm Academy was developed by experts from the royal family, but no one knew if it was true or false, because the reputation of the Sky Realm Academy was not inferior to that of the current royal family.


    The horse carriage travelled along the street, and the bustling noise caused the people inside to feel uneasy. Shang Yu and Qin Suer both jumped out of the carriage window, looking around excitedly.


    On the contrary, Lin Tao was calmly sitting there!


    Di Chen asked curiously: "What? Don''t you want to see what the most prosperous city in Martial Region Continent looks like? "


    Lin Tao said with an expressionless face, "No matter how prosperous it is, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, it''s not like I haven''t made a move before. I''ve come here a few times with dad before."


    "So that''s how it is. I''ve already gotten used to it!" Di Chen laughed.


    The horse carriage stopped at the entrance of an inn. Di Chen and the other three people alighted from the horse carriage and said: "The Imperial Examinations are still a few days away, let''s stay here for now."


    After inquiring from the innkeeper, he said with a smile, "Customer, you''ve come at the right time. Our shop only has two rooms left, if you want, I''ll immediately arrange one for you."


    Before Di Chen could answer, someone suddenly slapped a stack of silver on the table and arrogantly said: "I''ve reserved the last two rooms."


    Di Chen turned his head to look and saw clearly that this was a richly dressed, arrogant young master with two attendants behind him. He had a haughty attitude, looking at Di Chen as if he was his grandpa and his father was his most amazing self. When he saw Di Chen looking at him, he also raised his eyebrows and said provocatively: "Country bumpkin, you must be from a country bumpkin.


    Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed Shang Yu and Qin Suer who were standing beside Di Chen. The two of them were extremely beautiful, the Young Noble looked at them and could not take them back, his eyes harbored evil intentions.


    Qin Suer was a little afraid as she hid behind Di Chen.


    Shang Yu, on the other hand, was quite frank as she looked coldly at the Young Master.


    Di Chen also could not endure it any longer, so he stepped forward, cutting off the Young Noble''s line of sight, and revealed a smile: "Young Noble, if you want to rent two rooms, I can accept that. But if you stare at the woman beside me, I can''t stand it. Hurry up and retract your dirty gaze, and do what you need to do! "


    was the first person who dared to speak to him in such a manner, and what surprised him the most was that there was not a single fluctuation of vitality on Di Chen''s body, so it was obvious that he was not a cultivator. Yet, an ordinary person had two rare beauties by his side. How could he understand this?


    He turned his eyes and smiled towards Di Chen: "I see that you need a room too. I can give you these two rooms, and I can even help you pay for them. The condition is to let the two girls by your side accompany me for a night. As for other things, I can even give you a huge sum of money.


    "Money?" Di Chen frowned.


    Seeing Di Chen''s current state, the Young Master thought that Di Chen had wavered, and laughed complacently: "Right, money, a lot of money, it''s enough to make you rich and free for the rest of your life. This is something that you won''t be able to obtain in your entire life, and all you need to do is to have two girls accompany me for a night. "


    "So that''s how it is. Are you very rich?" Di Chen asked with a dull look.


    The young master laughed out loud: "Of course, I am the young master who earned the last bit of money from the Hong Huang City. I am known as the Treasury Jin Gongzi, which is me. How about it? Can we trade now? "


    Di Chen laughed, "But, I also have money!"


    With that said, he took out a handful of scattered copper coins from his pocket, and with a look of dozens of words, he smashed towards Jin Gongzi''s face.


    All of these coins were real. It was painful to hit someone, not to mention his face!


    Jin Gongzi immediately covered his face and cried out, his entire face was smashed red, and some were even bleeding. He raised his head and glared at Di Chen in anger, "You bastard, you actually dared to destroy my face. You two, attack! "


    Jin Gongzi waved his hand, ordering his two subordinates to attack Di Chen.


    The two hulks roared, their fists striking at their chest, mighty and imposing, like violent giant bears. With an explosive roar, they charged forward a few steps and punched towards Di Chen.


    "Be careful!" Qin Suer exclaimed.


    Then, with a few bangs, the two men, who had a terrifying aura, but were actually unable to withstand a single blow, were beaten until their mouths were full of blood. They laid on the ground motionlessly.


    Jin Gongzi watched this scene in a daze, he then straightened his body and sneered at Di Chen: "You have some methods, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, it''s a pity that you are not a cultivator, no matter how powerful you are, you are not my opponent. As for me, I am a true Fighter 7-dan, today I will let a country bumpkin like you experience a true cultivator. "


    With that, Jin Gongzi took a stance. He looked pretty good, but had the demeanor of an expert.


    In the next moment, with a wave of Di Chen''s hand, a formless and immense power swept out of the inn.


    Jin Gongzi flew out from the door and shouted loudly in the air: "Brat, just you wait, I''ll definitely come back!"


    Di Chen was immediately stunned, why did he feel that he had heard this phrase somewhere before, it seemed to be the story of a wolf and a few lambs.


    "Aiya, Young Master, you''ve stirred up a disaster!" The innkeeper was anxious and anxious, he said to Di Chen: "This Jin Gongzi is not an ordinary person, he is extremely famous in our Hong Huang City, although he is idle and does nothing, but the Jin family behind her is truly powerful, it is said that the Jin family''s Family Head Jin Kai is the prime minister of the imperial court, is a top tier power, and now that you have beaten the young master of the Jin family, it is all over!"


    Di Chen glanced at the innkeeper with an Eggy, and only took out a silver banknote from her bosom, placing it on the table. She smiled: "Then, I''ll have to trouble you to arrange those two rooms for us, shopkeeper."


    The shopkeeper was startled, he anxiously looked at Di Chen and asked: "Did you hear what I just said clearly? The Jin Gongzi will definitely come back for revenge, so I advise you to quickly hide. What inn are you staying at? I don''t dare to accept you here, so hurry up and go! "


    Di Chen took the silver bills that Jin Gongzi had placed on the table before, and placed them in the shopkeeper''s hands, and smiled: "I will give you all of this money, is it alright now?"


    The shopkeeper looked at the stack of banknotes on his palm, his eyes staring blankly. After a moment of blankness, he smiled and said, "Guests, please come upstairs. Waiter, come and fetch these elders and mistresses up."


    "Okay!" The waiter responded and quickly ran downstairs, bowing and scraping as he brought Di Chen and the others upstairs.


    The shopkeeper looked at the silver bills in his hands joyfully, then turned to look indifferently at Di Chen and the others, and ridiculed: "Truly a country bumpkin. He doesn''t even know how to leave after provoking such a huge disaster, and still dares to stay here. But forget it, I won''t listen to your kind reminder, but it has nothing to do with me whether I live or die! "


    With such a large sum of money, it didn''t matter even if the entire inn was demolished. With such a large sum of money, he would be able to build quite a few inns.


    That night, Di Chen stayed in the same room as Lin Tao. As there were limited rooms, Qin Suer and Lin Tao stayed in the same room.


    Lin Tao had a bad habit of sleeping at night. He liked to kick the blankets, and he also liked to roll around. He did not sleep at all, and the space in the bed was small to begin with.


    Di Chen pushed him away, and then flipped over and pressed down on his body again.


    There was nothing Di Chen could do, he took the blanket and went to sleep on the floor, giving the bed to Lin Tao.


    The result was that Lin Tao did not have a cold night, so he sneezed non-stop the next morning, waking Di Chen up.


    He pointed at Di Chen and cursed: "You are too immoral, why are you snatching my blanket? It has even made me cold, what should I do? "


    Di Chen rolled his eyes: "Didn''t you kick me out of the bed? And you better stay away from me. Don''t spread your disease to me. "


    "I can infect you, and it''s not your fault." Lin Tao spread his wings and pounced at Di Chen shamelessly, but in the end, he was kicked flying by Di Chen''s kick.


    It was at this moment that a loud bang was heard from downstairs, followed by a loud shout as they walked upstairs.


    "That stinking brat from last night, get down here. I know you live here, I''ve had someone wait at the door for an entire night already." From the fierce and arrogant voice, Di Chen knew that it was the Jin Gongzi that he had thrown out last night.


    Di Chen pushed the door open with a bang, and walked up the stairs with Lin Tao. Lin Tao looked at Jin Gongzi, and kept on sneezing.


    Di Chen folded his arms across his chest and looked down at the Jin Gongzi condescendingly. He said with a smile: "This young noble is right here, there''s no need to yell and disturb others'' rest. "But how do you have the guts to come here? Have you recovered from the injury on your face?"


    Jin Gongzi''s expression immediately darkened, he raised his head and looked at Di Chen coldly, and laughed coldly: "I want to see how long you can continue being so arrogant for. "Today, I will let you repay the debt with interest. Big Brother Feng, make your move."


    Just as he finished speaking, a person walked out slowly from behind him, and the moment that person walked out, Di Chen''s eyes were glazed over.


    Because he could feel that this fellow was different from the others. His aura was something that the Jin Gongzi and his men could not compare to, and his body emitted a sharp and ice-cold aura.

 C30

    Di Chen looked carefully, trying to see through his cultivation level, but he could not. It was like a mist, unfathomable, which meant that his opponent''s strength was still above his.


    Meeting an expert, Di Chen''s face no longer had a smile!


    For such an expert, victory or defeat in a battle was still up in the air. Moreover, this would definitely be a difficult battle.


    He had truly underestimated the Jin Gongzi, to actually find such an expert!


    Just as he was hesitating, a lazy voice suddenly came from the side. "Who is it? Why are you making such a ruckus so early in the morning? Why aren''t you letting anyone sleep? Aren''t you being a little too immoral? "


    Everyone turned to look at him. He was a man wearing a long white robe and had a straight body. He was handsome and extremely beautiful. If it was a woman, she would certainly be a great beauty. Di Chen''s first reaction was also suspecting that this was a woman.


    However, he quickly rejected that notion because this guy''s chest did not have a few taels of flesh exclusive to that woman. That was definitely a man!


    Furthermore, there was a saying, "If you''re so good-looking, you must be a boy."


    Jin Gongzi stared at the white clothed man for a while before crying out in shock, "Young Master Xiao, why are you here?"


    "Aiyo, isn''t this the rich Jin Gongzi? You''re here too, what are you planning to do so early in the morning?" Young Master Xiao asked with a smile.


    Jin Gongzi retracted his gaze, stared fiercely at Di Chen and said: "This brat, yesterday you tried to rob me of my room, and even tried to harm my face, how can I let him go so easily?"


    Young Master Xiao chuckled. "Jin Gongzi is so impressive. You''ve gone through so much trouble just to deal with a country bumpkin who doesn''t even know how to cultivate. This is truly interesting."


    Jin Gongzi hurriedly explained: "It''s not that he doesn''t know how to cultivate, but he was extremely powerful. He threw me out of the door yesterday, you know my cultivation, if I didn''t have some strength, how could he win against me. Young Master Xiao, you must not be careless. This is not some good person, if you were careless, you might not even know when he will hurt you. "


    Another playboy?


    Di Chen frowned, these two guys were not the same little marten, right? He glanced sideways at Young Master Xiao''s cultivation, but discovered that this Young Master Xiao was actually an ordinary person. His body did not have the same amount of Essence as his, but he did not dare to be careless. Because even if he himself did not have any vitality fluctuations, if he were to similarly break through to the Lifestealer Realm, how could he be sure that others did not have the same fortuitous encounter?


    Young Master Xiao, who had initially thought that he was colluding with Jin Gongzi, chuckled: "I don''t care what you do, this brother is my friend. If you want to bully him, I won''t agree."


    As he said that, he walked to Di Chen''s side and smiled: "I am Xiao Shengnan, what is your name brother?"


    Di Chen smiled and indicated, as he replied: "My name is Di Chen, I entered the Hong Huang City for the first time."


    Pointing at Xiao Shengnan, he said snappily: "Young Master Xiao, aren''t you being a little too immoral? Didn''t you say that he''s your friend, but you''ve only just introduced him to each other now? You obviously don''t know him!"


    Xiao Shengnan curled his lips and smiled faintly: "Aren''t you acquainted with him now? Let me tell you, I won''t allow you to touch him today, what can you do? Are you going to attack me? "


    Jin Gongzi gnashed his teeth, he did not dare to make a move against Xiao Shengnan, because Young Master Xiao''s reputation was much higher than his and his family background was incomparably strong as well. He did not dare to provoke this, and tightly clenched his fists as he took a deep breath.


    But right at this moment, Di Chen took the initiative to walk out, and said with a smile: "Jin Gongzi, don''t be in such a hurry to leave. I don''t want you to feel uncomfortable, the one helping you is this Big Brother Feng, right? "Alright, today I will fight with him and grant your wish."


    Once Di Chen''s words came out, everyone present was stunned. Even Xiao Shengnan and Lin Tao found it hard to understand as they looked at him.


    Xiao Shengnan frowned, and asked solemnly: "What are you doing? Don''t you know I''m protecting you? You still want to stick your neck out and show off? Don''t you know what kind of person surnamed Feng is, and how powerful he is? "


    Lin Tao also agreed: "That''s right, Di Chen, did you get kicked on the head by a donkey? You''re so slow? "


    Di Chen gloomily looked at the two of them, and smiled towards Xiao Shengnan: "Young Master Xiao, I''m sorry. I know what you''re thinking, but I don''t like to owe others favors."


    With that, under Xiao Shengnan''s complicated gaze, Di Chen slowly walked down the stairs. With a calm expression, he said to the Jin Gongzi: "It''s not good to destroy my things here, let''s go out and fight!"


    Jin Gongzi squinted his eyes. With a sharp look in his eyes, he sneered: "You''re courting death. Don''t expect me to spare your life."


    Di Chen laughed, he did not even have the interest to reply, and walked out the door first, followed by the group of Jin Gongzi s that followed him out, standing steadily on the street.


    Xiao Shengnan and Lin Tao also went to the door to watch. He turned his head to look at Lin Tao and asked: "Is he very powerful? "He''s that confident?"


    "Impressive, but his condition is unstable. I wonder how many abilities he can unleash." Lin Tao said awkwardly.


    "Is that so? If there is such a thing, I must take a good look!" Xiao Shengnan watched with amusement.


    He also wanted to know, how powerful could a guy who didn''t even have any elemental energy undulations on him be? Although he had heard of a legendary body tempering technique, if ordinary people could not cultivate origin energy, they could switch to this type of body tempering technique. Once one''s body was refined to the peak level, they could become invincible.


    But that was just a legend. Until now, he had never seen anyone who could refine their body to such an extent!


    The man surnamed Feng and Di Chen stood facing each other, and all the people on the street avoided them one after another. Sensing the heavy killing intent between the crowd, no one dared to approach them, as they were afraid of getting into trouble.


    The Feng man looked at Di Chen with an expressionless face and said: "You and I do not have any grudges between us, but you offended someone you should not have provoked, so you are destined to meet your end."


    Di Chen laughed and waved his hand: "Alright, since it''s time to do it then let''s do it, can''t you change your lines, it''s not too late to act like this after you kill me."


    With a cold snort, the man surnamed Feng suddenly froze. He raised his hand and the energy around him began to condense in the air, forming a one meter long red spear. The red spear flew in the air, filled with a fiery and explosive energy.


    "Spear martial soul, my god, he actually directly released martial soul, this brat is going to suffer today!"


    "That''s right, those who are able to use martial soul s are all experts above the level of Lifestealer Realm. I never expected that we would actually be fortunate enough to see them today."


    At this moment, the surrounding audience members exclaimed in admiration.


    Di Chen also widely opened his eyes. This fellow was too simple and brutal, he released the martial soul without any hesitation, it was an ordinary cultivator''s life saving card, its power was huge, unless in the last moment, it would not easily be released. But this person was very underestimating him. Without even trying to probe him with techniques, he directly released his martial soul.


    "Spear of Raging Flames, commoner, tremble!" The man surnamed Feng roared out, he waved his hand and the fiery red spear shot towards Di Chen, observing him.


    Di Chen raised his head, widened his eyes, and stared fixedly at the fiery red spear that was shooting towards him. He retreated three steps in succession, and at the same time, quickly wrote a word in midair.


    The flew out, and instantly cut off the energy surrounding the fiery red spear, controlling the spear in the air. It was unable to move at all, and Di Chen shouted again: "Slash!"


    The formula s formed in mid air as a large blade slashed down on the man named Feng''s head.


    Feeling the ferocious energy above his head, the Feng man was also shocked. Luck raised both of his arms to block, and with a loud explosion, the sleeves on the Feng man''s arms were blown apart. His hands became a bloody mess as he raised his head to look at Di Chen in fear.


    Before it was over, Di Chen took a few steps forward, and shouted: "Again!"


    With a wave of his hand, the beheading formula descended once again. This time, the man named Feng did not even have the time to defend, and was directly blown away by the beheading formula, rolling far away, heavily injured. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, not even having the strength to crawl back up.


    The fiery red long spear martial soul in the air also disappeared along with the defeat of the Feng man!


    The faces of everyone in Jin Gongzi changed. They looked at Di Chen as if he was a demon, frightened as they turned around to support the man named Feng, quickly running away.


    Di Chen laughed and shouted: "Hey, don''t be in such a hurry to leave, I haven''t even had my fill. It''s really too weak to withstand a single blow! "


    Di Chen turned around and looked at Lin Tao and Xiao Shengnan who had dull expressions on their faces, and said with a smile: "How is it, did your performance just now still pass?"


    Xiao Shengnan''s eyes flashed with shock, and he looked at Di Chen with astonishment, and asked: "What were you doing just now? Is it also a martial soul? But you don''t have any yuan qi on your body, and yet, you''re already at the Lifestealer Realm level. Or do you mean that once you reach a higher level, you can hide even your own vitality''s fluctuations? "


    Di Chen smiled and said: "You''re thinking too much, it''s not that scary. If I was really that powerful, you think you would be able to make a playboy like the Jin Gongzi run over and clamor in front of me?"


    "That''s true, but ¡­" Xiao Shengnan frowned, his face full of confusion and doubt.


    Di Chen laughed: "Alright, no need to mind such small details. Today, if you want to help, for the sake of your kind and righteous character, let''s sit down and have a meal together. It can also be considered fate."


    Therefore, Di Chen called Qin Suer and Shang Yu down, and they started to eat together.


    When Shang Yu saw Xiao Shengnan, his entire person revealed an infatuated attitude, his eyes shone as he stared at Xiao Shengnan, praising: "This Young Noble is very handsome, who would have thought that there would be such a handsome man in this world? Young master, do you have a partner? What do you think of me? "


    As Shang Yu spoke, he even went over to Xiao Shengnan''s side to help him eat.


    Di Chen''s face was gloomy, he turned to find that Qin Suer''s head was also lowered, his face flushed red!


    The heck? What the hell was this?

 C31

    This Xiao Shengnan doesn''t look like males and females, is he called handsome? What was the matter with the two women''s infatuated faces? Is it really handsome to be manly like him?


    Di Chen was not convinced in his heart, he fiercely glared at Shang Yu and shouted: "Girl, what are you trying to do? Have you forgotten whose fianc¨¦e you are? Can''t you have some image in public? "


    Shang Yu giggled and turned back to look at Di Chen: "Big Brother Di Chen, don''t be jealous, it''s rare to see a handsome guy like Young Master Xiao, I naturally have to get close to you, don''t worry, I''ll definitely be your fiancee and will definitely marry you."


    "You ¡­" Di Chen was so angry that he couldn''t say a word.


    "Tell me, is this kid very handsome?" Di Chen could not help it, and turned to look at Lin Tao and asked.


    Lin Tao seriously replied, "Yes, I can''t say how handsome he is. He''s even inferior to me."


    Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed like there was someone who understood him well.


    Who knew that Lin Tao would follow up and say, "But he''s still better than you."


    "Fuck, go to hell!" Di Chen kicked Lin Tao''s waist, causing him to fall to the ground.


    Xiao Shengnan seemed to avoid Shang Yu''s embrace as he moved to the side. He looked at Di Chen and asked: "Where did Young Noble come from? What are you planning to do after entering the city? "


    Di Chen was very angry and did not want to answer, but seeing that Xiao Shengnan was asking with a gentle attitude, he could only answer: "I am from Ling''an City, and I came to Hong Huang City mainly for the upcoming Imperial Examinations."


    Xiao Shengnan opened his eyes in surprise: "You said that you are Di Chen, could it be that you are a member of the Di Family?"


    Di Chen was suspicious: "You know me?"


    He never thought that his own reputation would be so great that it would actually reach the Hong Huang City that was a hundred miles away. This was not too scientific, why would the people of the Hong Huang City pay attention to his reputation as a young master?


    "Of course!" Xiao Shengnan said with a smile, "Such a big thing happened in Ling''an City this time. The Di Family was almost annihilated, all the large families were like water and fire, the entire Ling''an City was in turmoil, it was hard to remain calm, I have also heard about it. However, Young Master Di, are you participating in the Imperial Examinations a competition of martial arts? Are you planning to enter the imperial court to be a government official? "


    "No, I''m preparing to take the liberal arts exam." Di Chen replied.


    "Huh?" Xiao Shengnan was shocked once again. He really did not expect Di Chen to come for the Humanities examinations.


    Seeing Xiao Shengnan''s reaction, Di Chen asked gloomily: "What, was I shocked to be taking the Humanities Exam? No matter what, I am someone who has been reading books for more than ten years! "


    Xiao Shengnan immediately changed his expression and laughed: "What I am surprised about is that there is actually such a coincidence, I am also participating in the Literature test, and we are examinees from the same batch, do you think it''s a coincidence?"


    "What a coincidence!" Di Chen opened his eyes wide.


    "That''s right. It''s all just because of our fated relationship!" Xiao Shengnan passionately raised his wine and clinked his cup.


    After they finished eating and drinking, each of them rested. Xiao Shengnan told them that the exam would be held in two days.


    Di Chen agreed. He did not have a good impression of this Young Master Xiao and he did not even like him a lot. Di Chen, Shang Yu and Qin Suer were shopping in Hong Huang City to see if there was anything that they needed to buy.


    Di Chen couldn''t help but turn his head towards Shang Yu and ridicule her, "I didn''t realize in the past that you were such a lovestruck little girl, you automatically moved your body up the moment you saw a prettier man. I thought you only liked me."


    Shang Yu was not angry, she pursed her lips and laughed: "Big brother Di Chen, what are you talking about? I was just testing you. "


    "Test? "Test what?" Di Chen laughed in disdain, thinking that Shang Yu was in time to find an excuse.


    When Shang Yu saw Di Chen''s unreasonable and naughty look, she became angry, puffed up her cheeks and glared at Di Chen: "You actually think that I''m that kind of person. As for what you''ve discovered, I won''t tell you, but let me see your stupid head, you shouldn''t think about knowing this secret for the rest of your life."


    Qin Suer said to Di Chen: "Brother Di Chen, Miss Shang Yu is right, Young Master Xiao is indeed different from us!"


    Even Qin Suer had said something like that, which piqued Di Chen''s interest. She furrowed her brows and asked: "What''s the situation? What''s different from us? Is he not a human? "


    Qin Suer sighed, "Ah, Big Brother Di Chen. Sometimes you are also smart to be so slow at this kind of thing. That Young Master Xiao is actually a woman, dressed as a man. What do you think is different from us? "


    "Disguise as a man?" Di Chen was so shocked that his eyes were wide open: "You''re saying that Xiao Shengnan is a girl?"


    "En!" Qin Suer nodded her head: "Otherwise, she would not be so interested in a beauty like Miss Shang Yu. In fact, she would be more interested in you instead."


    Di Chen had an astonished face: "You mean, that Xiao Shengnan likes me?"


    Di Chen felt a chill down his spine. Even if Xiao Shengnan was a woman, he had disguised himself as a man. Men were neither male nor female, maybe he had some sort of special taste in women that he couldn''t accept. He had already said it before, why was Xiao Shengnan so delicate and pretty, with tender skin and tender flesh. Furthermore, he was very neat and tidy, which was not a habit that men should have.


    Shang Yu retorted Di Chen, "Big Brother Di Chen, you don''t need to be narcissistic? He''s not an ordinary person. I can tell from the Dragon Marking Jade pendant that she''s from a wealthy family. He''s not an ordinary person. Ordinary people can''t afford to wear it. But I can''t tell who she is, and I was just about to probe his out, but you actually suspect me. "


    "So that''s how it is!" Di Chen was suddenly enlightened, he slapped his head and said gently to Shang Yu: "Girl, didn''t I care about you? Alright, I know I was wrong, I won''t suspect you anymore."


    After saying that, Di Chen reached out and pulled Shang Yu into his embrace. Shang Yu''s face flushed red as she gently pushed Di Chen away and said shyly, "Big Brother Di Chen, what are you doing? With so many people watching, we''ll do this kind of thing when we get back. "


    Qin Suer watched from the side with a complicated expression!


    After strolling for an entire day, Di Chen and the two of them returned to the tavern. They went back to their respective rooms to rest, while Di Chen laid in his room, he was still thinking about Xiao Shengnan''s woman.


    If that was the case, why did the other party insist on dressing up as a man, and even want to take the Imperial Examinations? What was it all about?


    For what purpose?


    Di Chen could not figure it out, so he decided to do the same. He got up and went into Xiao Shengnan''s room.


    Di Chen turned his head and said: "Shang Yu said that Xiao Shengnan is a woman, I don''t believe it, I want to personally take a look, to see if it''s true or not."


    "There''s such a thing?" Lin Tao was also shocked, he opened his eyes wide, thought for a while and said: "I will go with you, I want to see just what kind of enchanter Xiao Shengnan is, to actually dare to dress up as a girl in male attire in front of me."


    As a result, the two sneaked out of the window with their hands and feet together, and the two of them did not dare make any big movements. The cat was outside the window with its fingers full of saliva, poking a hole in the paper and looking through it, its eyes widened instantly, because they saw Xiao Shengnan in the room taking off his clothes to take a bath.


    Xiao Shengnan had already taken off his jacket, revealing his shoulders that were as smooth as jade. Her chest was wrapped in a thick bra that covered it, and with his back facing the window, Xiao Shengnan raised his hand, preparing to remove the bra.


    Lin Tao was extremely excited. His face flushed red as he clenched his fists and whispered, "Release him, quickly! Let the demon take effect quickly!"


    Every time Xiao Shengnan took off the belt on his chest, Lin Tao would become excited, and his breathing would quicken as he gasped for breath like an ox.


    "Who?" Right at this moment, Xiao Shengnan seemed to have sensed something. He pressed down on his chest and turned his head as he let out a loud shout.


    It was too late for Di Chen to run, because the door to the room was already opened. Di Chen turned around with his back facing Xiao Shengnan, and said with a sigh: "The night is long, I have no intention to sleep, I will come out to admire the moon, and I will recite a poem."


    Feeling the bone-piercing cold killing intent behind his back, Di Chen became flustered and panicked. He hurriedly turned around and smiled at Xiao Shengnan: "I thought I was the only one who could not sleep, it turns out Young Master Xiao is the same, coincidentally we can raise our goblets to invite Mingyue to fight Shadowmeld and the other two."


    Xiao Shengnan''s face was cold. He glared at Di Chen and shouted: "Come in with me!"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly, but it seemed like he could not hide it at all. Helpless, he followed Xiao Shengnan into the room.


    Seeing the big wooden bucket that was used to bathe in the room, Di Chen hurriedly said: "So Young Master Xiao is actually preparing to bathe, then I won''t disturb you any longer, I will take my leave first!"


    Di Chen turned his body in panic and wanted to leave.


    "Stop right there!" Xiao Shengnan coldly snorted, he took two steps closer to Di Chen and the two of them were not even one step apart. She stared straight into Di Chen''s eyes and asked: "What did you see just now?"


    Seeing that Xiao Shengnan''s delicate and exquisite face was right in front of his eyes, Di Chen''s heart inexplicably beat faster. The corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile, and he said with a stiff smile: "I didn''t see anything, I was just unable to sleep earlier, and wanted to come out and compose a poem."


    "I didn''t see anything, I just saw something!" Xiao Shengnan sneered: "You actually already know my identity. Fine, I won''t hide it from you, I''m a girl, but only men can refer to me in the Imperial Examinations, that''s why I''m disguised as a man. That''s right! "


    "That''s right, that''s right. As long as you''re happy, that''s right." Di Chen quickly agreed.


    "But you are not allowed to reveal this secret. If I find out that you have revealed this secret, I will definitely kill you." Xiao Shengnan''s face was cold, his eyes revealing a bone-piercing killing intent.


    Di Chen smiled: "That won''t happen, but before you kill me, Miss Xiao, you must first put on your clothes. Otherwise, even if you don''t kill me, I will bleed to death! "


    Perhaps the atmosphere was too tense and focused just now, or because the words were too concentrated. The clothes that Xiao Shengnan was wearing had already been opened, and the chest band slipped down, revealing two lumps of snow-white skin that appeared in front of Di Chen''s chest.

 C32

    Di Chen never thought that Xiao Shengnan''s body would actually be so good, yet he had to disguise himself as a man, what kind of belt would he use to wrap his chest, it was truly a pity for his good figure.


    Xiao Shengnan looked down blankly. Only then did he realise how bright it was, and his face immediately flushed red. He saw Di Chen staring at him without blinking.


    He was so angry that he scolded loudly, "You hoodlum!"


    He slapped Di Chen across the face and then kicked Di Chen''s butt, sending him flying out of the room.


    With a red five-finger mark on his face, Di Chen rubbed his butt as he walked step by step back into the room.


    When Lin Tao saw this scene, his body couldn''t help but twitch. He was obviously laughing.


    Di Chen walked over and unhappily kicked him: "I''m laughing your head off. I said that the one I wanted to go to, was you, yet you ran away in the nick of time without a shred of loyalty. Don''t expect me to bring you along for such a good thing in the future."


    "Don''t!" Lin Tao sat up and laughed: "It''s not like I don''t know how savage that Young Master Xiao is. I''m just protecting myself, isn''t it better for you to suffer alone than for both of us? Furthermore, it''s because of me that you have the chance to be alone with that beauty Xiao, right brother?


    "Cut the crap, but I have to remind you, Xiao Shengnan is a girl, you must not go out, otherwise she will definitely kill you or me!" Di Chen said solemnly.


    "Alright, I understand!" Lin Tao nodded his head.


    Two days later, Di Chen and Xiao Shengnan finished their preparations and headed to the examination hall together. Shang Yu and the other two originally wanted to follow along, but Di Chen rejected them, because the Imperial Examinations were forbidden to allow outsiders entry. Even if they followed, they could only wait outside the walls far away.


    The Jin Gongzi who came to look for trouble did not appear again. It was as if he had received a lesson and knew that Di Chen was not easy to deal with, thus he hid away!


    "Why did you offend the Jin Gongzi?" The two walked side by side towards the examination grounds. Xiao Shengnan turned his head and asked.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "There will always be bored people in this world. It''s not that I want to provoke him, it''s him who has come to cause trouble. But is the Jin Gongzi very powerful? It''s all in the past now, why are you mentioning him? "


    Xiao Shengnan replied: "Even if I say it''s powerful, it''s not very impressive. But the Jin family still has some power in the Hong Huang City, and the Jin family''s Family Head is a fourth tier official in the imperial government. He has a lot of resources, and it''s still easy to deal with someone like you who has no background or backing. I hope that Jin Gongzi will let bygones be bygones, or else you will definitely be in endless trouble! "


    Di Chen raised the corner of his mouth and laughed disdainfully: "I, Di Chen, have never been afraid of trouble before. If he dares to come find me, I''ll let him know how to write the wrong words."


    "Don''t be too confident, this is not Ling''an City!" Xiao Shengnan reminded his.


    Di Chen laughed, and did not take it to heart. What could a little Jin Gongzi do to him?


    "What about you? "Why are you helping me?" Di Chen turned his head and asked playfully.


    Xiao Shengnan laughed: "Because I feel that there are more than one path for us to take!"


    "Alright, we''ve arrived at the examination hall." The two of them looked up. In front of them was a large courtyard with only one entrance. Currently, countless examinees were entering the exam grounds. However, they would need to submit their test papers before entering the exam grounds.


    Di Chen and Xiao Shengnan also followed the crowd into the examination hall. After showing their examination certificates, Di Chen discovered that the examination rooms were all one room, separated by one room. In the room, there was even a screen to separate the seats, preventing cheating and plagiarism. Coincidentally, he and Xiao Shengnan were actually taking the examination in the same room.


    "How confident are you?" Xiao Shengnan asked Di Chen.


    Di Chen woodenly shook his head: "I don''t have confidence!"


    When it came to the liberal arts exam, he really did not have much confidence. When it came to reading the four books and the five classics, he did not have much pressure and only regret was that his writing was too lousy. After so long, he had been practicing writing, but unfortunately he had not made any progress.


    There were only the few formula s in the Heaven''s Letter Sutra that he could write well, but the other words that he could write were like mud fish crawling around, hard to look at.


    Apart from the examiners, there were also soldiers staring at the handle. The atmosphere was solemn, and no smiles could be seen on their faces.


    Di Chen and Xiao Shengnan sat at their respective seats, the examiner gave out the exam papers, and then began to answer the questions.


    Di Chen looked at the exam papers, and as expected, many of the questions were questions that he was familiar with, he had read them countless of times and had already memorized them thoroughly. Without stopping, he started to quickly answer them, and after finishing last night, all that was left of him were his essays.


    The topic was "An Analysis of the Rules of Survival of the World".


    This was a very profound question!


    Di Chen frowned, the final article had a huge number of points, but in reality, he only had forty points for the answer questions, while the final article only had sixty points, so to most scholars, this final article was something that would give them a headache.


    Many of the examinees had expended much more energy on the last article compared to the previous ones.


    Di Chen looked at the question, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something, the words surged in his head like a tide, he could not help but write it down in the article, in the beginning it was fine, just a bit of restraint, but afterwards he completely let go of everything, he could not control himself at all.


    He was completely unaware that while he was writing, the energy around him fluctuated because of his writing. One character after another spun around him, forming a circle with him in the middle. Fortunately, there was a barrier that blocked everyone''s exam. Otherwise, if anyone saw him like this, they would probably be scared stiff.


    This kind of essay should have at most ended with three thousand words, but Di Chen had written five thousand words in an extremely lively and lively manner.


    "The heavens and earth are heartless, everything is a ruminant dog, the saints are heartless, the commoners are a ruminant dog. All living things cannot be avoided, there is no limit to the cycle. Man has his structure, and his morality has fallen ¡­"


    After he finished writing, Di Chen was drenched in sweat, his entire body was relaxed and comfortable, he had never experienced such a feeling before, the words around had also disappeared, he held his breath, looking inside his body, he realised that the power of speech had increased by a large amount, no, it was a breakthrough. Although his cultivation had broken through to Lifestealer Realm previously.


    However, the rank of the scholar had always remained at level eight without many improvements, and this exam had actually raised him directly to level nine, or even more. He was only one step away from level ten, and with this progress, he should be able to break through to level ten very soon.


    What surprised him even more was that the words written on the paper were beyond his imagination. He did not understand!


    The words on the exam paper were extremely hard and strong, it was something Di Chen had never written before.


    What was going on?


    Could this have something to do with his cultivation of the power of speech? Was it because he had been cultivating as a scholar and had a broken brush in his hands that he had entered that state?


    Di Chen could not understand, this matter was too profound, he had to study it carefully first.


    After handing in the exam papers, all the examinees left. Di Chen and Xiao Shengnan left together with ease, and couldn''t help but want to discuss the results of the exam. Xiao Shengnan asked: "Regarding the last question, what do you think?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "I don''t really understand, I am just writing as I please, but in reality, I don''t know if it''s good or not, I will have to rely on the main examiner to judge."


    Xiao Shengnan raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "In truth, that question is very interesting. It is worth pondering over, do you know? Part of the questions on the paper were given by the examiner of the school, while the other part was given by the son of Heaven. From the way things were going, the last question was definitely given by the son of Heaven. As for today''s question, if one were to write it in reverse, not only would they not be able to hit the top scholar, but they could also take on the name of rebellion in succession through the nine generations. If you write too poorly, you will naturally have no connection with the top scholar. That is, to take the middle ground! "


    When Di Chen heard this, he immediately widened his eyes in shock. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat;


    Did he touch a sensitive point? Is it a rebellion?


    In fact, he wrote that article in great detail today, which mainly discussed a point of view. That is, people are all selfish existences. Whether it is in the big world or small markets, people are all rushing for their own benefit. And finally, he explained that in this world, people were only one species. Loving oneself was the way to go!


    His article was a bit ahead of schedule, and he wondered if His Majesty would be able to accept it today.


    Xiao Shengnan revealed a smile: "Don''t be nervous, you''re already sweating from fright, it''s not that serious. The results will be released in ten days. Then we will know the result! "


    Di Chen shook his head and laughed bitterly: "I do not have any hope, but Young Master Xiao, since you understand it so well, you should definitely be able to go to high school.


    Previously, he could not cultivate, so he had hoped for this shortcut to allow himself to stand up. But it was different now, he could already cultivate, and with the various opportunities that he had, getting on the list was no longer his only choice. His insistence on taking the Imperial Examinations was only to hone the power of speech in his body.


    There were some benefits to this ¨C at least he had broken through to level 9 as a scholar, and his body was brimming with power of speech!


    While talking, Di Chen returned to the tavern and prepared to take a good rest. Today''s exam had a huge mental drain on him.


    However, the moment he stepped into the inn, he saw Lin Tao lying on a chair by the side with a bloodied face. He was beaten black and blue, and it seemed as though he was struggling to even breathe.


    Di Chen frowned, he anxiously leaned over and asked: "Lin Tao, what''s the situation? How did you get beaten up like this?


    Lin Tao looked at Di Chen with his swollen eyes, and emotionally grabbed onto Di Chen''s sleeves and said with all his might: "The Jin Gongzi came again, and brought his men to capture Shang Yu and Qin Suer. I wanted to stop them, but they beat me up like a pig head. Di Chen, go save them quickly, you can''t let that beast harm them! "

 C33

    "Bastard!" Di Chen punched the table heavily. With a loud bang, the table shattered into pieces.


    He also said that Jin Gongzi did not have the guts to come back, but he did not expect that they would take advantage of him going to the Imperial Examinations to kidnap Shang Yu and Qin Suer.


    Di Chen gnashed his teeth in hatred: "I definitely won''t let that guy go, I''m going to tear him into ten thousand pieces!"


    "Calm down, don''t be impulsive. I will help you with this matter." Jin Gongzi must have kidnapped him and brought him back to the Qin family. I will go find someone to help you rescue him as soon as possible. With that, Xiao Shengnan turned and walked out.


    Di Chen said: "Young Master Xiao, I''ll be troubling you!"


    "It''s nothing, just a small matter." Xiao Shengnan answered without even turning his head around, and quickly left the place.


    "Are you really going to wait for Young Master Xiao''s help? There was no time, the Jin Gongzi was trying to kidnap Shang Yu and Qin Suer, everyone knew about his heart. It must be trying to do something nasty! " Lin Tao said weakly.


    "Of course I won''t wait, I will go and find out where the Jin Clan is. Tonight, not only do we have to save Shang Yu and the other two, I also have to bring back that Jin Gongzi''s head." Di Chen said fiercely, his eyes cold.


    The Jin Clan''s residence was easy to find. After all, the Jin Clan was extremely famous in the Hong Huang City.


    Therefore, when Di Chen asked a few passersby about it, he easily found out the Jin Clan''s location.


    At night, Di Chen changed into a tight set of clothes, with a big blade on his back.


    In reality, he was not very good at using his blade. However, in order to prevent a battle from occurring, if his opponent had a weapon and he did not have one, he would be at a disadvantage.


    "Are you going alone?" He looked for a doctor to apply medicine on him, but the swelling had not subsided, so Lin Tao, who was still like a pig''s head, asked Di Chen.


    Di Chen tightened his belt and nodded: "Of course I''m going alone, could it be that you want to go with me?"


    Lin Tao lowered his head in silence, he knew his own situation very well. Even if he went with Di Chen, it would be useless, he could not do anything, he did not even have the qualifications to be an assistant.


    If he had some ability, how could Shang Yu and Qin Suer be taken away so easily today?


    Seeing Lin Tao''s ashamed expression, Di Chen grinned and said: "Enough, don''t reveal your dead look, no one can blame you, you''ve already done your best today. As long as a man didn''t kneel down and beg for mercy, it didn''t matter what he became. Just stay here and wait for my good news! "


    With that, Di Chen turned and left the room.


    The night breeze was a little chilly. He quickly walked forward, heading straight for the Jin family.


    Di Chen did not know the ins and outs of the matter, and he did not plan to force his way in. As long as he sneaked in, found Shang Yu and the other two, and killed Jin Gongzi, he would achieve his goal, and would not have to fight with those experts. He was still very clear about his own strength. Even though it was only Lifestealer Realm, it was nothing in such a prosperous city like Hong Huang City!


    Soon, they arrived at the Jin family mansion. Other than the main entrance, the surroundings were more than two meters high walls.


    Di Chen pressed his hand against the courtyard wall and touched it. Then, with a stomp of his feet, a gush of energy gushed out from his body. His body rose from the ground, climbed over the courtyard wall, and soundlessly landed in the courtyard. He turned his head and looked around. There was no one around. There wasn''t even a guard patrolling the courtyard.


    This was because this was the backyard; besides the maidservants, very few people would come here!


    Di Chen looked out from the bushes and saw two servants fetching water from the well. There was a man and a woman, talking and laughing, and they did not notice Di Chen''s infiltration at all.


    Di Chen changed his direction and rushed out like an arrow. Before the two of them could react, he had already knocked one of them out, while the other one was tightly held in his hand, with his hands tightly covering the other party''s mouth, in case the other party screamed for help.


    Di Chen asked in a stern voice: "Speak, where is your Jin Gongzi''s room?"


    The servant whined.


    "Say what? Shout louder, can''t I hear you? " Di Chen frowned and roared again.


    The servant pointed at his own mouth, and only then did Di Chen realize that he had covered his mouth to death, and he would not be able to hear anything he said. Di Chen said in a deep voice: "I can let you go, but if you dare shout for help, I will kill you on the spot and think it through myself."


    With that, Di Chen released his hand. The servant took a few deep breaths, then turned to Di Chen and asked: "Who are you?"


    Di Chen slapped him and scolded: "Don''t speak nonsense. Answer the question, where is Jin Gongzi''s room? Otherwise, I will kill you right now! "


    "¡­"


    Very few people in the Jin Gongzi didn''t know his name. After all, he was famous for being a popinjay.


    At this moment, he took a comfortable bath and changed into a set of loose and comfortable clothes. He rubbed his hands together and quickly walked towards his room. When he thought that there were two beautiful beauties waiting for him in the room, he couldn''t help but feel excited.


    In fact, the reason why he had a conflict with Di Chen previously was because of these two beauties. Thus, he went to find an expert to teach Di Chen a lesson, and it wasn''t a pity that the expert would be heavily injured. As long as he could think of a way to get hold of the two great beauties, he wouldn''t have any other requests.


    Thus, he intentionally made people find out that Di Chen was going to participate in the Imperial Examinations, and only then did he successfully capture the two beauties when Di Chen went to take the exam.


    The only thing that surprised him was that when he was preparing to take the two beauties away, the two actually didn''t have any thoughts of resisting and obediently followed him.


    It seemed that all the women in the world were the same, and all wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful families. Moreover, he had an elegant demeanor, so it was impossible that he didn''t like her, right?


    Pushing open the door, two beautiful women quietly sat in the room. Upon seeing Jin Rui come in, Shang Yu was the first to reveal a cute and gentle smile: "Jin Gongzi, you''re back!"


    "That''s right. I''ve made all of you wait for too long. It was my mistake." But let''s start, we need to hurry up. " With that, the Jin Gongzi moved closer to Shang Yu anxiously. He was the first to get close to Shang Yu.


    There was nothing to say about Shang Yu''s beautiful appearance. She was a little quick-witted and a little cold in her looks. Her appearance was also very delicate and impeccable. Just looking at her would cause one''s blood to boil. The creator was really fair. The perfect thing was flawless.


    Shang Yu raised her beautiful hands to block Jin Rui, and said with a smile: "Jin Gongzi, don''t be anxious. We have plenty of time for such a long night. Besides, you don''t have the slightest interest in coming so rough, so I won''t feel comfortable either. Drink some wine first to ease your mood! "


    As he spoke, Shang Yu picked up the wine pot on the table and poured a full cup of wine.


    "So interesting?" Jin Rui also laughed, lowering his head to look at the wine in the cup.


    He then grinned and said, "If a beautiful woman pours wine, then I won''t be courteous at all!"


    raised his wine cup and drank it all, not only did he not drink, he even drank the first cup and could not stop, not to mention a beauty like Shang Yu who was persuading him to drink. Jin Rui could not hold on any longer, drinking cup after cup, drinking an unknown amount of wine, until he finally became drunk, the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning, and his eyes revealed an evil and murky light as he pounced at Shang Yu.


    Shang Yu saw that it was about time, and smiled: "Jin Gongzi, we will undress you and bring you the rest!"


    Then, Shang Yu took off Jin Rui''s clothes, leaving only his underpants. Using his clothes as a rope, she tied up Jin Rui''s hands and feet.


    Jin Rui weakly fell to the ground as he giggled and asked: "What are you doing? It''s so exciting to play with. Hurry up and come over, I can''t take it anymore, I''m so hot! "


    Jin Rui was indeed very hot. His entire body was flushed red and dripping with sweat.


    "The medicinal effects are very strong, and after drinking so much, this Jin Gongzi is going to have fun tonight. Big Sister Su''er, please help us throw him into the pigsty! " Shang Yu greeted Qin Suer.


    Qin Suer could not hold back her laughter and came over to help Shang Yu lift the heavy Jin Gongzi. Just as she was about to open the door and walk out, at this moment, a figure walked over.


    Shang Yu was shocked, she casually threw down the Jin Gongzi and pulled out her sword to stab the person in front of her. That person took a step back to avoid Shang Yu''s sharp sword, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, don''t be agitated, it''s me!"


    "Big Brother Di Chen?" Shang Yu retracted her sword, and looked at Di Chen who was outside the door in astonishment, asking puzzledly: "Big Brother Di Chen, why are you here?"


    Di Chen said: "When I heard from Lin Tao that you had been kidnapped, I immediately rushed over. Then what about the Jin Gongzi? "Where is he? I killed his dog head, how dare he bully you?"


    Shang Yu turned to the side and pointed at Jin Gongzi, who was lying on the ground in a daze.


    Seeing Jin Gongzi''s appearance, Di Chen was stunned, Jin Gongzi was naked and his face was extremely ugly. He did not know what he did, but saliva was flowing out of his mouth, and his eyes were extremely weird.


    "What does that mean?" Di Chen frowned, puzzled.


    Shang Yu revealed a clever smile and said, "We drugged him with aphrodisiac and he became like this. We''re going to throw him into the pigsty and let him enjoy the night."


    Hearing this, Di Chen immediately rolled his eyes, and didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. He was truly worried for Shang Yu, and he clearly understood Shang Yu''s personality, she was just a little devil girl.


    This meant that the confident Jin Gongzi was already involved!


    Di Chen sighed, "You guys... "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it, I''ll help."


    With that, Di Chen carried Jin Gongzi on his back and followed along the corridor with Shang Yu, Qin Suer following closely behind.


    Di Chen carried Jin Gongzi and felt very uncomfortable because Jin Gongzi, who had taken the aphrodisiac, had a huge reaction. He kept feeling as if something hard was pressed against his back, but that Jin Gongzi had a face full of enjoyment, which made Di Chen feel extremely disgusted. However, he couldn''t let Shang Yu, Qin Suer, the two beautiful girls who were pure and clean, come into contact with this disgusting fellow.


    After passing through the corridor, he successfully avoided the gazes of all the servants. When he arrived at the backyard, Di Chen remembered that when he was coming over, he had discovered a stable.


    We don''t have to have a pigsty! A pigsty at night!


    However, just as he stepped into the backyard, a majestic energy came rushing towards him. He raised his head, and in the dark night, a cold light flashed, and a sword was pointed straight at his forehead.


    At the same time, he shouted, "Little thief, put down the Jin Gongzi!"

 C34

    Di Chen and Huo Rulie were shocked. The moment the two girls who followed behind them stepped into the backyard, their beautiful faces lost all color, but he quickly regained his composure and straightened up.


    "Put it down, putting it down would harm Jin Gongzi. Right now, he is being tormented, I just want to find a place for him to vent his anger!" Di Chen looked into the sky and said to the person who had yet to appear. At this moment, he already had a rough understanding of his opponent''s abilities. He was a warrior of the ninth rank, so he was not worried. However, he was already quite shocked by the existence of such an expert in the backyard of the Jin Residence. It was just that he didn''t show it on the surface.


    "Kid, don''t be so arrogant. Where do you think this place is? This is the Jin Mansion, and also the place where you behave atrociously!" The voice in the air was very cold. Before he finished speaking, he had also floated down to the ground. It was a man dressed as a forty year old guard. As he landed on the ground, the sword in his hand left Di Chen''s forehead.


    Although the sword had moved away from between Di Chen''s eyebrows, the killing intent atmosphere did not decrease at all.


    "Di Chen, let''s go home, this place is not fun at all. Put down the Jin Gongzi, let''s go back and play, we don''t want to play with him anymore." At this time, Shang Yu whispered, because she had already seen another fiendish looking person appear behind the big tree in the courtyard.


    This person''s appearance immediately caused both sides''s strength to change. Di Chen also saw this, and knew that if he were to fight two Warriors of the ninth rank at the same time, the chances of winning were very small.


    "Alright!" Di Chen said as he threw the Jin Gongzi on the ground. It was so painful that that brat was crying out in pain.


    However, it was already too late. Following the appearance of the second person, more than twenty guards suddenly came down from the Principal''s side. Although they were all Elementary Level guards, with the current situation, they were more than enough to deal with Di Chen and the rest.


    Sure enough, as soon as the two sides started fighting, because their opponents had Shang Yu and Qin Suer under their control, Di Chen was defeated without fighting. He could have run away, but the two girls had been tightly controlled. He could not just run away.


    "Go!" Push them into the dungeon, and separate them! " A man who seemed to be the leader ordered a few of his men to push the three into the dungeon.


    The three of them were sent to the dungeon, where they were respectively locked in two adjacent rooms that could be seen through the iron bars. All of the doors in the dungeon were not locked. Di Chen knew that the doors were sealed using some kind of mental seal.


    "Di Chen, how terrifying, such a sinister and terrifying prison, their family could actually think of such a thing, a mere private prison was actually so big!" Shang Yu sighed as he faced Di Chen.


    "Don''t be afraid, it''s just a bluff. It''s as easy as pie for me to get out of this place. After a while, their alertness ran low, so I''ll take you guys out. " Di Chen consoled.


    Qin Suer was also very nervous, but after hearing the conversation between Shang Yu and Di Chen, she started to calm down.


    "It''s that easy to get out! Kid, your cultivation is still not enough. Everything you see might not be nothing, but what you see might not be everything! There are many traps here, so I advise you not to daydream about others. You should stay here well, and if you accidentally trigger one, your soul will definitely scatter and your body will never be able to recover! " A face filled with unsatisfied scars suddenly appeared in Di Chen''s cell as he said to him fiercely. The two girls were very scared when they heard his muffled voice, and they tightly hugged each other.


    Although Di Chen was not afraid, he believed that the man was telling the truth. However, he still pretended to be calm in front of the two Girl s.


    By the latter half of the night, there was still no movement. Di Chen knew that it was safe, even though the environment was a bit worse, and he had actually unknowingly fallen asleep.


    On the second day, when the sky had just brightened, Di Chen was still deep in his dreams. The door of the cell creaked. The two Girl s hugged each other in fear.


    "Miss, be careful of your feet." The immature voice of a Girl. Although the sound was very soft, Di Chen still shuddered and sat up.


    It was three Girl s who had entered. With one glance, he could tell that there was a young miss and two maidservants. The maidservant was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She wore light green clothes, had two bun tied around her head, and had a childish expression on her face. The young lady didn''t look that much older than the two maidservants, but she looked much prettier. Her makeup was the color of the morning snow, and her steps were light, rustling, and elegant. This Girl was the younger sister of the Jin Gongzi, Jin Yaner.


    Under the escort of two servant girls, Jin Yaner leisurely walked over to the front of Di Chen''s prison and asked softly: "Sir, were you captured by my family''s guards last night?" Her voice was sweet and melodious.


    ''s eyes lit up at the sight of this otherworldly beauty. He did not expect that the moment he heard her words, he knew that she was a member of the Jin Clan.


    "So what if I am, so what if I am?" Di Chen''s voice was extremely harsh, and he sat there without moving.


    "Oh, then that must be it. Young master, please don''t be angry. My father hasn''t been here for the past few days. Brother Lin Tao has done such an abrupt thing and we have no other choice but to deal with him. Please calm your anger." Jin Yaner slightly bowed, not because she was angry at Di Chen''s cold attitude.


    So it turned out that yesterday, when Jin Yaner heard from the servant girl that the Jin Gongzi had obtained two Girl s, he knew that Lin Tao''s big brother had gotten sick of it. After hearing that someone had failed to save Girl, she was locked in the family prison. She, who had a kind heart since he was young, wanted to see what happened.


    "Well said. If you are truly kind-hearted, then tell your guards to release us. If they don''t, then be careful that I don''t smash this place up. Then, we will burn your Jin family down!" Di Chen stood up and said.


    "Don''t be so presumptuous! It''s nothing to be arrogant and rude to a Girl. If you have the guts, try and smash it. In the air, a fierce voice threatened Di Chen. At the same time, a strong wave of energy rushed over, causing the entire cell to feel a sense of oppression.


    Just as the words left his mouth, the cell door creaked open and Jin Gongzi swaggered into the cell under the escort of a few guards.


    "Yan''er, why did you come to this filthy place? Hurry up and go back!" Seeing her sister here, Jin Rui''s face immediately became ugly.


    "Brother Lin Tao, what you''re saying is wrong. You''ve done wrong, but you don''t dare to admit it. I told you to release him now, otherwise, when father returns, I will definitely report you!" Jin Yaner''s almond-shaped eyes opened wide.


    "Go go!" Don''t meddle in my business, do me a disservice and do me a disservice. Since daddy is back, I''ll get him to find you a place to marry off to, just in case I have to do something that makes me feel anxious. " Jin Rui was getting impatient, as he said that, he indicated for his subordinates to quickly bring his sister away.


    A few guards led Jin Yaner out, and before sshe left, he left a few words, "If anything happens to the enemy, I will definitely report you when father returns!"


    "Haha!" "Beauty, yesterday I gave Brother Lin Tao some medicine. Brother Lin Tao was tired enough last night, but now he''s fine. This morning, I drank the Monkey Head Swallow Soup and a turtle shell. I''m in high spirits again. I''ll accompany you guys!" After his sister left, Jin Rui immediately showed a dirty face, but because he had done such a comfortable thing, his eyes and mouth had turned black. His arrogant appearance, made it seem as if Di Chen didn''t exist as he swaggered into Shang Yu''s and Qin Suer''s cell.


    "You, you, you, what are you trying to do!" Qin Suer was immediately frightened to the point that her face turned pale, and she quickly grabbed Shang Yu.


    "What are you doing!?" You''ve given me so much medicine, all you want is to get a little more, and here I am! " As he spoke, under the gaze of the crowd, he pounced towards Shang Yu.


    "Jin Gongzi, Young Master Xiao is here." Just then, one of Jin Rui''s guards warned him.


    Jin Rui suddenly turned his head, and realised that it was indeed Xiao Shengnan, and the one who had brought him here was her younger sister, Jin Yaner. She thought to herself, "Little girl, just wait for daddy to come back. I''ll definitely marry you out."


    "Jin Gongzi, I already said it, they are my friends, what are you doing? Are you clearly not giving me face?" Xiao Shengnan asked stiffly.


    When Jin Gongzi, who was originally in high spirits saw Xiao Shengnan, he immediately withered down like an eggplant that had gone through autumn frost. Seeing that his actions had been completely exposed, even though he was just a hair away from doing it, he could only give up now. Therefore, Jin Gongzi had no choice but to fight against his guards: "Release them!"


    After that, he left resentfully, feeling extremely dissatisfied in his heart.


    It turned out that when Xiao Shengnan went back to find someone to save his, he heard from Lin Tao that Di Chen had already gone back to save his own son, so he brought someone back to the Jin Clan early in the morning to save his son. Initially, the guards were adamant that they would not enter. However, after Miss Jin came in to help, the guards barely allowed Xiao Shengnan to enter.


    Returning back to the tavern, Xiao Shengnan jokingly said: "Young Master Di, isn''t it time to fulfill your promise to invite me to a banquet?"


    Di Chen acted like he did not care and said honestly: "Of course, it''s just a few coins. It''s just noon today, and we''re done with our exams.


    "Great!" Young Master Di is straightforward, I will definitely accompany you to the end! " Xiao Shengnan was very happy.


    In the afternoon, Di Chen got the shop owner to prepare a table of wine, and invited Xiao Shengnan to his room to drink with everyone.


    "Young master Di, this girl has some ulterior motive!" Xiao Shengnan pointed to the aged woman red on the table. He thought to himself, you, Di Chen should change your name to Zhen Xing. You clearly knew that I was a girl, yet you asked for strong girl red.


    "Brother Xiao, to tell you the truth, I wanted to get a few jars of Crimson Reds and was afraid that others would criticize me. But we participated in the liberal arts exam, so we had no choice but to avoid suspicion!" Di Chen knew that Xiao Shengnan had something to say, so he held onto the jar to sieve the wine, while replying.


    During the banquet, the several people all drank a few cups, talking and laughing merrily. What confused Xiao Shengnan was that Lin Tao kept staring at his chest, sneaking glances at her. She didn''t know that he also knew that she was a woman.


    After drinking three rounds and eating five mouthfuls, Xiao Shengnan voiced out his worries, and said: "For this exam, even the prime minister has to take a test. Moreover, the main examiner had already opened the test paper and recommended it. In other words, they have recommended ten people to the Prime Minister, and we have sinned against the Jin Gongzi, so we fear that it will be detrimental to the exam! "


    "Who cares about him. Since the exam is over, let''s enjoy it for a few days before making any plans!" The slightly tipsy Di Chen said.


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, Xiao Shengnan worriedly nodded his head.

 C35

    Di Chen did as he said, Di Chen went to Xiao Shengnan''s room, said that he wanted to take him out for a breather, and after just a few days in Hong Huang City, he had already turned the tables on the guest. Afterwards, he brought Xiao Shengnan and Lin Tao to find Shang Yu and Qin Suer.


    Brother Lin Tao, you two better not go out. Have you forgotten Jin Gongzi''s warning? Shang Yu, who was wearing a pink dress, came out of her room and spoke with a serious expression. Behind him was Qin Suer.


    Little Girl was cautious and prudent, but the things she said weren''t without reason in the current situation.


    "Shang Yu, you weren''t that timid when you were young, why are you becoming more and more beautiful? On the contrary, you are becoming more and more timid. This isn''t your character." Don''t worry, I won''t leak any secrets, hahaha. " Di Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned on the doorframe, looking at Shang Yu with a sly smile, ridiculing her with a ridiculing smile.


    Listening to Di Chen''s slightly sarcastic words, Shang Yu knew that he was secretly mocking his when he was young. However, he was a lady after all, so he didn''t want to bicker with a foolish brat.He blinked his crystal-clear eyes that were as big as water grapes and pouted at Di Chen. She gracefully turned around, his slim and agile waist pulling his pink skirt as he floated back into the room. He didn''t come out with Qin Suer after a while.


    Di Chen secretly praised him, "As expected of the number one beauty of the Lin Tian Mo Continent, to be able to look so good when she''s angry."


    Outside the Hong Huang City was a small river that was dozens of metres wide. Di Chen brought food along with him and the others to play.


    "Wow, what a big rabbit! Where do you think you''re going? Watch the fight!" In order to arouse everyone''s interest, Di Chen danced about by the riverside, bluffing and shouted loudly.


    "Hehe!" It hit! "It hit!" Di Chen continued to jump and shout as he continuously turned his head to look at the two Girl s who did not want to move. Xiao Shengnan and Lin Tao, on the other hand, were already eager to give it a try.


    "Where is it? Let me see! " Lin Tao did not know that Di Chen was playing with him, and immediately rushed out, his eyes wide open as he looked around. Seeing Di Chen''s smiling face, he knew that he was tricked, and fiercely pointed his finger at Di Chen, wanting to say something, but stopped himself.


    "Hahaha!" I''ll catch one for you later. Quickly, don''t be angry, I promise I''ll catch a big one for you. " Seeing that Lin Tao had been tricked, Di Chen smacked his butt and laughed.


    After Di Chen said the soft words, Lin Tao did not bother about it anymore, and smiled at Di Chen innocently.


    The atmosphere was fresh and beautiful, and under such a beautiful scenery, Di Chen and Lin Tao quickly forgot about the dangers, and started to play to their heart''s content, even forgetting about the two Girl s behind him. At this time, the three of them were interested in the fish that would occasionally jump out of the water to breathe. They held their breaths, eager to catch a big fish.


    The three of them were completely focused and suddenly became quiet. The sudden quietness made Shang Yu curious, and she couldn''t help but quietly pay attention to the three of them. Seeing the three of them being so focused, both she and Qin Suer couldn''t help but secretly laugh.


    Di Chen who was completely focused on the water suddenly smelt a sweet fragrance that was as tempting as osmanthus flowers. This smell was too familiar to him, it was the natural smell unique to Shang Yu. He could not help but peek out of the corner of his eye and see Shang Yu standing there.


    Just then, a big fish jumped out of the water. Di Chen threw himself at it without hesitation. With a splash, they disappeared into the water together with the big fish. The surface of the water splashed with water that was more than three meters high, then rippled, after a while it returned back to normal, and Di Chen also disappeared without a trace.


    "Aiyo, this is bad!" Quick, save him! " After a long time since Di Chen came out, Shang Yu couldn''t care about the danger anymore and immediately ran over. He used all of his strength to stand on the shore, staring at Lin Tao, and pushed him into the water.


    "I ¡­" Before he could finish his sentence, he had already fallen into the water with a splash. He had also disappeared without a trace, and ripples had appeared on the surface of the water. The river was deep, and even though it was clear, Lin Tao was unable to see the bottom of the river.


    This scene worried Shang Yu on the shore. She never would have thought that it would turn out like this. She didn''t know what to do for a while, so she sat on the ground and started crying. She looked extremely cute. Xiao Shengnan and Qin Suer were also not familiar with swimming, and only Monk Yu''er, who was always rubbing her fists and wiping her palms, was nervous.


    Minutes and seconds passed. Shang Yu was gradually disappointed because there was still no movement from the surface of the water. Qin Suer kept comforting her on the side.


    After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a sound came from the surface of the water. The sound constantly rippled and surged towards the shore, occasionally hitting the riverbank. Di Chen used a lot of water plants to get out of the water and sprayed a mouthful of water. The water pillar was more than three meters long, but his hands were still tightly holding onto a big fish.


    They went to the shore but Lin Tao was nowhere to be seen. Seeing Shang Yu crying so miserably, Di Chen immediately understood what had happened. He threw the big fish onto the shore and jumped into the water again. Di Chen quickly found Lin Tao at the bottom of the lake and brought him to the shore. However, the situation didn''t seem good.


    "Lin Tao, Lin Tao ¡­" Shang Yu forcefully shook Lin Tao''s arm, she did not believe that Lin Tao would die just like that, it was too sudden. Originally, there was no special relationship between Shang Yu and Lin Tao, but this matter had come very suddenly, and she was a kindhearted person. No matter how Xiao Shengnan and Qin Suer tried to persuade his, she was unwilling to listen, as if his own brother had fallen into the water.


    "Shang Yu, your big brother Lin Tao will be fine. He will wake up soon. "I wanted to catch a big fish for you to eat, but I didn''t expect ¡­" He helped Shang Yu up and comforted her apologetically. Then, he immediately bent over and used his hands to constantly rub Lin Tao''s chest, wanting him to wake up earlier.


    Di Chen, who couldn''t swim and had just experienced a life and death battle, only wanted to catch that big fish to show off in front of Shang Yu and jump down unknowingly. He drank two mouthfuls of water and passed out. Then, he woke up without anyone noticing, and came out with the big fish in his arms.


    After listening to Di Chen''s comforting, Shang Yu regained some of her calm. The rise and fall of her soft bosom gradually calmed down and the sobbing sounds became a lot quieter. She knew that Di Chen would not lie to her, and she also knew the power of the Yang Pellet. However, she still couldn''t forgive him. She looked at him with resentment.


    "Ah, ah ¡­" Lying on the ground, Lin Tao suddenly let out a painful cry, and he even spat out a few mouthfuls of dirty water.


    "Brother Lin Tao! Brother Lin Tao, you''re awake!" Shang Yu happily called out to big brother Lin Tao, her face filled with happiness. She quickly helped big brother Lin Tao up.


    "What just happened? I think I fell into the water, didn''t I?" Lin Tao, who was sitting on the ground, had obviously choked on water. He was at a loss for words and could not remember what happened just now. He must have drank himself to his heart''s content.


    "I said, is he alright? Take a look and see if he''s awake." Di Chen smiled and said to Shang Yu, showing off a little. Then, he turned around and asked Lin Tao, "Right, Lin Tao, did you jump into the water to save me? I remember you can''t swim?"


    "I, I was thinking about how to save you, but I didn''t go into the water. I don''t know. Someone pushed me from behind, and then I didn''t know anything. " Lin Tao said naively, and kept trying to figure out what was going on.


    Hearing Lin Tao''s words, Di Chen suddenly turned to look at Shang Yu. Their eyes met, and Shang Yu shyly lowered her head.


    "Haha, I didn''t expect that not only is Lady Shangyu beautiful, but her heart is also so kind. What a kind-hearted girl, she will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future. However, what you have done seems to be a little cruel to your big brother Lin Tao. " Di Chen knew that Shang Yu didn''t have any good feelings for him, so he intentionally angered her.


    "You don''t know what''s good for you. I''m ignoring you two. One of you is foolish, the other is wicked. You infuriated me so much that I''m about to die of anger." Di Chen''s words had obviously provoked Shang Yu. She pounded his chest fiercely, turned her head, and ran back. Xiao Shengnan and Qin Suer almost laughed.


    Seeing Shang Yu run away, Di Chen shrugged his shoulders at Lin Tao, and said smilingly: "I''m running away, let''s play. Quickly get up, I''ll cook some roasted fish for you to eat, to reward you for saving my life." The word "save" was emphasized.


    Upon hearing that it would be eaten, Lin Tao''s spirit immediately perked up. After being tormented for a short period of time, he truly felt a little hungry. He struggled to stand up from the ground.


    Di Chen and Lin Tao had done this small thing like roasting fish when they were young. This was what it was like to be the King of Children back in the day, and it was also a way to attract the attention of Girl s, including Shang Yu. The grilled fish was delicious. Therefore, the two of them quickly cleaned up the big fish and roasted it on a wooden grill.


    The fish was big, and waiting was a long process. After a while, Lin Tao sat by the fire and kowtowed. His eyes were full of fighting, and he looked tired and sleepy. Di Chen stared at the fish on the fire, feeling sleepy.


    After an unknown period of time, Di Chen felt that someone was chuckling. When he opened his eyes, he saw that under Lin Tao''s lead, Xiao Shengnan, Shang Yu and Qin Suer were currently enjoying the grilled fish.


    "You guys are too bad. Why didn''t you call out to me when the fish is done roasting?!" Di Chen stood up from the ground and picked up a piece of fish and meat and stuffed it into his mouth as he spoke.


    "Haha, we saw that you were sleeping soundly, so we didn''t have the nerve to disturb you!" Oh right, we''ve agreed to leave a trail of fish for you in a while. " Lin Tao said to Di Chen while eating the fish.


    "You can even say these words. To think that I was kind to you and even saved your life. Next time I catch a small one and roast myself to eat, I''ll see what you do!" Di Chen pretended to be angry.


    "You''re not good. You''re so magnanimous, just like the Jin Gongzi. Aren''t you too petty?" Lin Tao said sincerely. Di Chen didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    The few of them chatted and laughed as they enjoyed themselves. They knew that the sky had darkened, so they returned to the city.


    After returning to the tavern, Di Chen quickly washed up and then quietly sat on the bed to cultivate. Sky Realm Academy''s day of recruitment was coming up, he had to make the best use of his time.

 C36

    In the central market of Hong Huang City, Di Chen was walking leisurely. He was tired from cultivation and the food in the inn was a little simple. He came out to change the taste, but his main goal was to buy some beast cores to replenish his energy.


    The streets were crowded as carriages and horses passed by. The place was bustling with noise and excitement as Di Chen browsed through the beautiful scenery for a while and appreciated the beauty of the place. Then, he headed towards the place where the demon cores were sold.


    Gather in all directions! What a magical name! Di Chen decided to take a look inside.


    "Young master, welcome to our store. If you need anything, feel free to tell us. If there are none in the front counter, we''ll go check the warehouse at the back." The moment Di Chen stepped into the shop, a smiling young man came over and greeted him. It seemed to be the waiter.


    "That''s right. If I can gather everyone here, I think you should have something that I need. I''ll just take a look around." Di Chen did not even look at the waiter and said. As he spoke, he scanned the shop''s counter. He wasn''t satisfied with anything. They were all low-level beasts'' demon cores that weren''t of much use to him.


    "How is it, young master? Are you satisfied?" The waiter followed behind Di Chen and asked carefully.


    "Nothing much. Just thinking about how all the shops in this majestic Imperial City are filled with low-grade Demonic Cores is really puzzling!" Di Chen paced, he could not help but exclaim.


    In the corner, a silver-haired old man raised his head, glanced at Di Chen, and continued to write. He squeezed out a few words: "Young man, don''t you dare spout such arrogant words, I can''t see anything from your cultivation, wouldn''t it be a waste to have such a precious thing?!"


    Di Chen frowned, thinking that the old man was undoubtedly the boss, he said: "Old man, words are not like that, as the saying goes, a person cannot judge a book by its cover, and sea water cannot be used to fight. Moreover, what does my cultivation level have to do with what I want to buy? Can''t I buy it for someone else to use? " Di Chen''s words were neither soft nor hard, it made people very uncomfortable.


    The old man did not look up and continued writing. He instructed the waiter, "Since the seventh stage demonic beast''s Demonic Cores on the counter do not enter the young master''s eyes, the young servant will bring the young master to the warehouse and let the young master choose!"


    "Yes sir!" The waiter bowed towards the old man, then made a gesture of invitation towards Di Chen and said, "Young Noble, please!"


    Hearing the old man''s words, Di Chen thought, as expected, there was goods in the shop, it was not that he did not fancy the Spirit Demon Cores of the demonic beast s of the seventh step, but he thought that the shops in the imperial city definitely did not have just a mere Spirit Demon Core of the seventh step or below.


    There were many shelves inside the warehouse, on top of them were many rare and expensive demonic beast demon cores. Of course, there were fur saying that they were warehouses, but in fact, it was similar to the layout of the shops outside, but every piece of furniture was a lot more advanced, and it seemed like they were specially prepared for the rich buyers.


    "Young master, take a look around and see if there''s anything you need." After entering the warehouse, the waiter said very politely.


    Although Di Chen was surprised that his boss would not be able to gather so many treasures without a considerable amount of wealth, he was still calm. He carefully looked at each and every treasure on the shelves and was extremely happy in his heart, but he didn''t know what he should choose.


    Suddenly, a purplish blue light shone into Di Chen''s eyes. The faint blue light was very alluring, as if it had discovered its own master.


    Billions of Fire Wolves! Di Chen almost surrendered, but because he spoke so loudly in front and the waiter was still by his side, he calmed himself down and did not make a sound.


    Although Di Chen had just learned a few martial arts, he still had some understanding towards the hundreds of millions of Fire Wolves, especially since this was the Demon Core of a Myriad Colored Fire Wolf, it was very rare. It seemed that he would be lucky this time around.


    "Young master, if you like, you can take the demon cores of the hundreds of millions of Fire Wolves." The waiter said with a smile.


    "Alright, how much is this?" Di Chen pretended to be calm and asked.


    "This one thousand silver medallion is enough." The waiter replied, maintaining a smiling expression.


    "Alright, I''ll buy it. Pack it up well for me!" Without hesitation, Di Chen took out a note from his waist that was worth a thousand gold and handed it to the waiter.


    After putting away the treasures, Di Chen followed the waiter to the front counter.


    The silver-haired, silver-bearded old man saw the two of them coming out from behind, he asked Di Chen with a straight face: "How is it, is Young Noble satisfied?"


    Although Di Chen was overjoyed, he did not show it on the surface. He only said very calmly, "It''s good that you did not disappoint me. Di Chen understood that there were still a lot of treasures in the warehouse, but he wouldn''t be able to afford the prices of those things right now.


    "En, if you need anything else then come to my place, don''t think too highly of the money, this is my personality, those who know treasures can have no money, those who don''t know treasures can have a lot of money, and those who don''t know treasures can have a lot of money!" The silver-haired, silver-bearded elder said. This time, he finally raised his head, and the disdainful expression on his face towards Di Chen lessened by a lot.


    "Alright, I will remember this later. Farewell!" As he was feeling overjoyed, Di Chen bowed to the old man and left the shop.


    This old man was truly strange. A person who knew treasures could take none of them, and a person who didn''t know treasures couldn''t sell them at a high price! I''ll try it some other day and see if you can live up to what you said. Di Chen thought as he walked, he was filled with curiosity about the old man.


    who had gotten a treasure immediately felt that his steps were light and light. He even responded to the eyes of the beautiful Girl who passed by him, feeling extremely pleased with himself, as if he had just seen a flower.


    Drunken Fragrance Pavilion! Right here, without even thinking, Di Chen stepped into the restaurant.


    "Young master, please enter the second floor. There are no seats on the first floor." The waiter immediately came to greet them.


    Di Chen nodded, and followed the waiter up the stairs, finding a corner to sit down. Taking a look at the situation of the shop, there were about seven or eight tables, and there were already two tables full.


    "Waiter, give me a White Plume Chicken with Smoked Sauce and a Red Leaved Fish. I want a jar of wine, I want a lily carving!" After sitting down, Di Chen instructed the waiter.


    The waiter went to prepare. At this time, Di Chen heard a commotion downstairs, and did not know what had happened. After a while, the other waiter brought the three girls upstairs. They were Jin Yaner and her two servant girls, it seemed like they had nothing to do today, so they went to the market to eat at noon.


    The second floor was immediately suffused with an enchanting fragrance, making one feel as if they were standing amidst a field of flowers.


    Di Chen immediately turned his head away, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he did not want to have anything to do with the Jin Clan.


    One of the maidservants asked, "Miss, what do you want to eat? I''ll have the waiter cook it for you."


    "Just a little, but not too greasy." Jin Yaner said. Her voice was as soft as silk, like the song of a bird.


    Not long later, Di Chen''s two dishes came up and poured for themselves, with his back still facing Jin Yaner.


    Suddenly, Di Chen felt an ominous killing intent. This kind of forced aura was nothing to him, but to those who had low levels of cultivation, it was definitely an existence of fear.


    As expected, the three of them were dressed extravagantly and looked like frivolous young men. Di Chen didn''t need to raise his head to know that one of the three had reached the Lifestealer Realm, while the other two were also around the ninth stage of the Warrior Realm.


    "Waiter, go tell your boss to bring the best dishes to our three brothers. She wants to cook them herself and then tell her to come and accompany us!" A tall and skinny young man with cross-eyed looks snapped at the waiter.


    The three of them were haughty and haughty, as if they did not put anyone else in their sights. Although Chicken Eyes was arrogant, his gaze landed on Jin Yaner''s body. After squeezed for a bit, it immediately released a green light. His two companions were also immediately attracted by Jin Yaner. One of them said with a flattering smile: "Brother, beauties are edible!"


    The gazes of the three young men were strange and could see everything from a glance, just like the level of their cultivation. Jin Yaner''s maidservants had already arrived in front of them, glaring at them. This glare was not a big deal, but it actually piqued their interest.


    How could Chicken Eyes listen to the words of the young man who came with him? He only walked towards Jin Yaner with a silly smile.


    "Miss, to meet here, this is the fate between brother and you. Can we have a drink together?" Fighting eyes actually had no sense of shame, he sat beside Jin Yaner. Although he didn''t touch it himself, he was already salivating.


    "Young master, my Miss is not as interested as you are. You should drink by yourself!" A little girl stood up, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and she was extremely impolite.


    "Yo!" It''s not like I''m talking to you, are you trying to make things difficult for me? " The cross-eyed man immediately froze into a smile, picked up a glass of water from the table, and threw it at the maidservant.


    The servant girl couldn''t dodge in time and immediately became wet. "Don''t be blind, you''re teasing the prime minister''s daughter, watch out for your pathetic life!"


    Hearing the servant girl''s words, his eyes widened as he stood up and began to speak arrogantly, "The prime minister''s daughter, I''m so afraid of her!" "I''ll f * cking return the favor to you, young master of General Saber Horse''s family. Today, I''m going to take advantage of your young lady. I want to see how you''re going to take my dog''s life!"


    The young master of the Saber Horse General! Could he be the son of General Ai Lun, the one the Emperor regarded highly?! He was a famous devil in the imperial city. There was almost nothing he did other than doing bad things and not doing good deeds.


    "Young master, don''t speak so arrogantly. We''re already here for a meal and entertainment, why are you being so overbearing!" At this time, Di Chen who was in the corner could no longer hold it in and turned to say.


    "Screech! Screech!" "How can you be so blind? Drink your wine and mind your own business!" Without waiting for Chicken-eyed to speak, one of his two companions pointed at Di Chen and berated.


    Pow!


    The cup in Di Chen''s hand crumbled to pieces when it landed on the table!


    "I''m in charge of this matter!" After he finished speaking, Di Chen stood up and faced the three popinjays arrogantly.

 C37

    Jin Yaner was shocked. The person who intervened to save him was actually the person her brother tied up in her own prison a few days ago. At that time, she had already felt that she might meet this young girl again. It seemed that her senses had been accurate.


    At this moment, he had already started to mobilize his elemental energy. A wave of killing intent suddenly rose from his body, making his aura stronger than when the fiendish demons first entered. He was indifferent to the Di Chen in front of him, because he could not see his Qi undulations. If he did not have a cultivation to go against him, what else could he be doing other than seeking death?!


    "Brother!" "Stop, this kind of little monster will let us brothers kill him, you shouldn''t use a butcher''s knife, just watch!" A cross-eyed fellow said.


    Chicken-eye smiled, withdrew his vitality and arrogantly said: "I''ll leave it to you! "Big brother will accompany little miss for a drink."


    His cross-eyed companion thought that the chance he displayed in front of the beauty had come, so he did not put Di Chen in his eyes at all. Because he did not see any energy fluctuations from Di Chen at all, he thought that did not have any cultivation at all.


    However, the warrior''s level was also very high. Although he was not fully focused, his fist still carried a light aura as it went straight towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand. A water mark that seemed to have stood up immediately appeared in the air, gurgling towards the partner who had chicken eyes. That partner''s fist seemed to have been dissolved by a huge suction force, and immediately went limp, just like himself, it went through the baptism of water marks and turned into a pile of meat paste and collapsed to the ground. Bleeding from mouth and nose.


    His other companion was stunned for a moment. He thought that his brother had underestimated his opponent, hence, he channeled his vitality into his body as he similarly punched towards Di Chen!


    Soul Corrosion Green Roaring Tyrant Technique! This was a cultivation technique that Di Chen comprehended yesterday.


    Di Chen shouted: "Settle!" This sound was definitely different from the usual one, of course it contained the Green Wind Devouring Art!


    With ease, the other fellow immediately turned into a pile of flesh and pasted it onto the wall of the room! It was even worse than his previous brother. He had already lost his life. Di Chen was a little regretful. If he knew that this attack would be fatal, he would not have used this technique so easily. However, thinking about it, since he died, that was fine, but there would be one less disaster, especially for Girl.


    It was not because he was afraid of Di Chen''s cultivation, but rather, he did not expect this brat to be a cultivator. This was completely illogical!


    "Young master Ai, I''ve heard rumors that seeing them today is indeed much more vexatious than the rumors! It''s really a sight better to see than to hear! " Di Chen looked at the cross-eyed in disdain, and said with a hint of sarcasm.


    "Brat, how arrogant! Don''t think you can win against me just because you beat two of my brothers! Big Brother has Lifestealer Realm, I heard that there''s none of them, and that they directly want to take your life! " Ai Yeshi said in a flaunting manner. With that, he simply shrugged and did not place Di Chen in his eyes.


    "Ah?" The Lifestealer Realm! Then wouldn''t I have met an expert today? Can I still hold my life? " Di Chen immediately acted like he was afraid, and said with a terrified face. His expression was extremely exaggerated, he was definitely a good actor.


    "Haha!" Scared! But I will give you a chance, crawl under my crotch, and I will let you live. I don''t want to kill people in front of beauties, and ruin their mood. "What do you think? Choose whether you''re dead or alive." Ai Yeshi thought that Di Chen was showing his weakness and said haughtily.


    "Young master Ai, I''ve just said that I will interfere in today''s matters!" Even if my body is smashed into smithereens! " Di Chen''s face showed no fear.


    "Alright, I''ll help you!" Ai Yeshi roared. Following his roar, Di Chen felt his Essence suddenly fluctuate, and then a strong suffocating aura formed, revealing his killing intent.


    "Watch me!" Ai Yeshi''s figure shifted, and with a single move, Xiong Pi flipped over, aiming straight for Di Chen''s throat.


    Di Chen took a look and sure enough, Ai Yeshi wanted his life. With such a tremendous amount of strength, once it hit his throat, his neck would definitely be broken!


    Although the other party''s attack was ferocious, Di Chen remained unmoved. He immediately activated his will and shouted, "Firm! "Kill!"


    In the air, Ai Yeshi''s movements were immediately frozen. Before he even landed on the ground, a huge blade in the air chopped down on his knees, making a cracking sound wherever the blade passed. What followed was Ai Yeshi howling like a pig that had been butchered! He would have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.


    "Kid!" Don''t even try to pretend to be a master! Just based on your level of Lifestealer Realm, I would feel humiliated if you pretended to be a grandson! Also, don''t mention your father Ai Lun to me, he has an illustrious battle record and is a righteous man, so I think that he has insulted his reputation. " Di Chen warned Ai Yeshi with contempt.


    With that, Di Chen walked in front of Miss Jin and said very politely: "Miss Jin, I''ve startled you. Coincidentally, I didn''t eat, so it''s a good thing that I''ve been spoiled by these guys.


    The servant girl from the Jin family immediately stepped forward. Just as she wanted to speak, she was stopped by Jin Yaner, who said with a smile: "In that case, let''s listen to Young Master Di''s arrangements."


    "I heard that the drunk chicken in the Jade Flower Lodge is pretty good. Miss Jin, do you want to go and try?" Di Chen continued to probe.


    "I said, Young Master Di can arrange it." Jin Yaner did not know why, but her voice became even softer and her face started to turn red. Of course, Di Chen knew that she was being shy, but this was very normal. It was the moment when a young girl was in love with someone, and seeing me with such a tall and sturdy body and the appearance of a scholar with a white face, it was obvious that the young girl would be able to resist the flood of spring water that was flooding towards her. This scene of tattooing had unintentionally added Di Chen''s boundless confidence.


    Jade Flower Hall, first floor. Di Chen brought Jin Yaner and her two servant girls and chatted as they drank. Di Chen talked and laughed leisurely, and it was extremely interesting. The two servant girls had already completely forgotten their status, their smiles were all over the place, and the extremely reserved Miss Jin was also laughing while covering her face.


    Just as the several of them were having three rounds of drinks and five meals, the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open. Jin Rui and a few guards entered.


    "Brat, I didn''t think that you would actually tease my sister here! "It seems that you don''t know how powerful I am if I don''t use my killing move!" Jin Gongzi scolded loudly, not giving any explanation.


    "Brother, don''t be so unreasonable. It was Young Noble Di who saved me just now!" Seeing her brother''s aggressive look, Jin Yaner immediately went forward to stop him.


    Jin Rui didn''t listen to his sister''s words at all, he pushed his sister to the side and said: "Wait for daddy to come back, then I will definitely marry you out!" After he finished speaking, he brought along the guards and came in front of Di Chen. His forehead was almost touching Di Chen''s forehead, and he looked straight at.


    Di Chen smiled slightly, he was still as calm as before. He knew that Jin Gongzi''s words had confidence, because he had roughly looked around earlier. This time, he brought an expert in Lifestealer Realm with him, while the other guards were also at least at the Seventh Stage of the Warrior. However, there was still no fear on his face as he said, "Crazy dogs always bite people, you don''t know how to be kind!" If I did not save his, you would not have been able to marry his. I am afraid that Ai Yeshi would have already snatched his away to serve as his wife. However, it''s good to be the wife of a stronghold. If you just enjoy the dewdrops and then abandon the corpse in the wilderness, then you''ll be in for it! "


    "Brat, don''t you dare spout such arrogant words. If it wasn''t for Young Master Ai, how would I know that I would be flirting with my sister here? My father is best friends with General Ai, why would he lie to me!" Jin Rui shook his pig head and said.


    At this time, Jin Yaner, who was standing at the side, seemed to be on the verge of tears as she cried, "Big brother, why don''t you believe what little sister says, and instead believe what others say? You didn''t hear it just now, when Ai Yeshi said those arrogant words, he was saying that his father was completely beneath his father, and that he had the intention of insulting our Jin Clan. "


    Jin Rui was still stubborn, and thought that her sister had been tempted by Di Chen. She said: "I have already investigated, Di Chen is the scoundrel who raped and killed the servant girl, he can do anything!" On the contrary, Jin Rui complained about his sister''s stubbornness.


    "Miss Jin, since your brother is so unreasonable, I have nothing else to say. I''ll take my leave first!" Because Jin Yaner was here, Di Chen did not want to make a move against him.


    However, Jin Rui took an inch, thinking that he was showing off his strength by bringing an expert over, so he ordered: "Hurry and make your move! What are you waiting for! "


    Hearing Jin Rui''s orders, they immediately rushed towards Di Chen. Just now, their master had told them that no matter what methods they used, as long as they could take Di Chen down, no matter if he was dead or alive.


    Di Chen was shocked, he did not expect that they would attack together, but after a moment of hesitation, he immediately took up a fighting stance.


    A few guards who were not yet at the Lifestealer Realm, he was only careful as he dealt with them. As for the most important ones, he focused on the Lifestealer Realm guards as he said that the thief would first capture the king, and as long as he could subdue the Lifestealer Realm guards, the others would lose without fighting.


    At this time, Jin Rui''s guards hesitated slightly, but Di Chen seized the opportunity and immediately shouted: "Stop! "Kill!"


    In the air, a cold wind immediately blew and the air seemed to freeze. Of course, to Lifestealer Realm experts, the aura that was used for was even stronger. Just as the Lifestealer Realm guard knelt down, there was a flash of a blade in the air and his head fell to the ground. Perhaps it was because the speed of the blade was too fast, but the blood on his neck was like a fountain a long time after the head fell onto the ground.


    The other guards were so scared that they retreated a few steps back and protected Jin Rui with their books.


    Di Chen did not bother with them and went up to Jin Yaner, who was completely shocked, and calmly said: "Miss Jin, it seems like it''s not suitable for us to eat today. I''ll treat you to it another day."


    After saying that, Di Chen left without looking back, leaving behind only the Jin Clan siblings.


    "Big brother, it''s all because of you!" Jin Yaner threw down this sentence before leaving angrily with the two maidservants.


    Jin Rui was still puzzled by his sister''s anger. He still believed in Ai Yeshi''s words and actions, because when Ai Yeshi complained to him earlier, his tears were all over the place.

    Thousand Autumn Dynasty.


    Hall of Heaven''s Tribute.


    This man was the fifteenth emperor of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, Qiuhai Jun. He was known as the Flame Emperor, and in front of him was a general dressed in a black armor and a black iron sword, this man was the number one martial general of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, also known as Ai Yeshi''s father. It was reasonable to say that the Hall of Heaven''s Tribute was the place where the Flame Emperor usually gave his approval to the Emperor, but logically speaking, it was impossible for Ai Lun to bring his sword in, but in the Flame Emperor''s heart, there was another person dressed in a large black armband, and beside him was the prime minister, who was also Jin Rui''s father.


    Flame Emperor handed a scroll to the two of them and said, "This is the scroll of an examinee for this year. My dear ones, please take a look."


    "Good calligraphy," Jin Kai couldn''t help but exclaim in praise the moment he received the scroll, "This calligraphy is vigorous and forceful, like a dragon in the sea or a fierce tiger in the forest. It seems to have the aura of a ruler descending from the heavens."


    "A ruler descending upon the world." Flame Emperor carefully savored these words with an expression that was difficult to decipher.


    Jin Kai also felt that what he just said was incriminating. If the Flame Emperor was the true monarch and he said that the word had the power of a monarch, then wouldn''t the person who wrote the word be the monarch?


    This is an outrageous crime.


    Jin Kai hurried to pay his respects: "Your Majesty, it was this old subject who spoke wrongly.


    Flame Emperor smiled and waved his hand, "Prime Minister doesn''t need to care. When I first saw this word, I had the same feeling, but I couldn''t think of a suitable word to describe it.


    Everyone in the imperial court knew that Jin Kai was the loyal subject of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and that there was no way he could have such a reaction. These words were obviously a slip of the tongue, the Flame Emperor was open-minded, and did not care about such things.


    Ai Lun laughed out loud: "This humble subject''s language does not have the talent from Prime Minister, I do not know whether these words are good or bad, but I feel that these words contain a killing intent, like a sword, and that if this person were to learn martial arts, he would most likely be a rare talent."


    Flame Emperor smiled, "General Ai Lun is right, a scholar''s writing skills are usually soft. This is the first time I have seen killing intent in these words, I feel that this person must have cultivated both martial and civil skills."


    "Di Chen?" Jin Kai read the names on the scroll and then continued to read the paper. There was not a single mistake on the first few questions, which was normal, as there were a lot of talented people in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and a lot of dead knowledge, so many people would not make a mistake. The key point was to see how the article was written, and when he saw the first sentence of Di Chen''s essay, his face immediately revealed a look of anger, and he slapped the table: "What a rebellious person, Your Majesty.


    "Hmm?" Flame Emperor laughed and asked curiously: "Just now the Prime Minister was praising him well, why did he suddenly say that he wanted to kill this person?"


    Jin Kai pointed to the scroll and said: "This first sentence, ''The heavens and the earth are heartless, but everything is useless.'' If the heavens are merciful, then there would be no such thing as'' everything else ''. Furthermore, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he means the Son of Heaven, he said that the heavens are heartless, he said that the Thousand Autumn Dynasty is heartless, he said that this is disloyal, this kind of person might be hostile to all of our Thousand Autumn Dynasty, shouldn''t we kill him? "


    Flame Emperor smiled, "What Prime Minister said makes sense. General Ai, what do you think?"


    Ai Lun laughed bitterly: "Your majesty, you know that this humble subject is a boor, but you do not know the reasoning behind it. It''s just that I think that Prime Minister''s interpretation is a bit too much."


    Jin Kai retorted: "General Ai''s words are wrong, look at this article, it is clear that he is lamenting about the injustice of the world, that every word has a killing intent, and that he has a crafty heart, I am afraid that he has met with some huge calamity, and always thinks that the heaven and earth is unfair to him, and that he is a little narrow-minded, but from this, I can see that he is a person who has both the arts and the martial arts, or even a saint, if such a person were to stay, it would be disadvantageous for the Thousand Autumn Dynasty."


    There was a chance for both civil and martial arts to become saints, so which of these Martial Region Continent s could do it?


    Ai Lun said in a speechless manner: "You scholars only have all sorts of perverted logic. I am talented, not born well, so is it wrong to sigh at the injustice of fate?"


    Jin Kai said seriously: "Only those with talent would have ill intentions towards us, such people are especially important to us, Your Majesty, I recommend that we kill this man as soon as possible, since our Thousand Autumn Dynasty does not lack any talent, although few can compare to this man, losing even one will not be a problem."


    That was true, but in reality, Jin Kai had also been a judge before. He was very clear on the level of all the examinees in the history.


    Ai Lun said: "I say, Prime Minister, your thoughts are truly narrow-minded. If this person truly had ill intentions towards us, how could he possibly participate in the Imperial Examinations."


    The two of them were at odds with each other and had different opinions. They were on the verge of arguing.


    I know that you two are thinking for the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, but you can''t be hasty about this. Whether this person is loyal or not, I will send people to investigate, and we will not let him enter the list this time. As for this article, for now, keep it, you can''t reveal it, go ahead. "


    Naturally, there were a lot of people who would think like the Prime Minister. Flame Emperor did not know if the person who wrote this article had some sort of ill intention, but he knew that if this article were to be leaked, many people would definitely have some kind of bad intention.


    In ancient times, there was a scholar who could change the fate of mountains and rivers with just a single article. This was similar to the legendary Heavenly Poems where she could defeat an army of a thousand men with a single word.


    Ai Lun and Jin Kai knew that the Flame Emperor was someone who kept his word. There was no one who could change his decision, so they could only nod and leave.


    Not long after the two of them left, a young man walked out from behind a screen. He was around seventeen or eighteen years old, and his heroic spirit was overpowering.


    Flame Emperor looked at him and asked, "You heard what Prime Minister and General Ai Lun said just now. What do you think?"


    Qiu Tang laughed: The words of the Prime Minister and General Ai are reasonable, but one of them is too careful, too careful, he easily took the life of the person, if he truly has any ill intentions, then we should naturally kill him, but if he does not, then we would lose a great genius, and General Ai is also a crude person, his thoughts are not meticulous enough, I think we should first investigate this person before coming to a conclusion.


    The Flame Emperor laughed, "I also have the same idea. I''ll send you to investigate this person''s background and get to know him. If he really is a talent without any reversals, then he''ll be mine. If he truly has a heart of his own, then I''ll kill him."


    Qiu Tang clasped his hands together, "Yes, this son will go right now."


    As he spoke, he left the Hall of Heaven.


    Being able to write such an article made him both scared and happy. If this person was loyal, then it would be the pleasure of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and if this person was adulterous, it would be the disaster of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty.


    In the hundreds of years of the Flame Emperor''s reign, this was the first time he had been so concerned about an exam candidate.


    This was the first time Thousand Autumn Dynasty had sent a prince to investigate an exam candidate.


    The Flame Emperor suddenly became impatient to see this person. He thought to himself, "He must be an interesting fellow."


    The heavens and earth are heartless?


    The Flame Emperor''s eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked up and said, "The world is heartless to begin with. I, Qiuhai Jun, will destroy the heavens sooner or later."


    During this period of time, Jin Rui and Ai Yeshi did not come look for trouble with Di Chen. Other than training, Di Chen would play around with Lin Tao, Shang Yu and Qin Suer.


    On this day, Di Chen had an appointment with Xiao Shengnan and the others to look at the rankings. Every five years, Thousand Autumn Dynasty would take the examinations, and every time, there would be a hundred people who entered the rankings. Every person who entered the Thousand Autumn Dynasty would become famous throughout the world.


    When Di Chen saw the names on the list, he knew that the tenth place was Xiao Shengnan. With hundreds of millions of people in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, it was already not easy to get on the list, and to get to the tenth place?


    In the past, the top ten ranked officials of the imperial court had the possibility of becoming saints, and there were many Chinese saints among them.


    Xiao Shengnan said excitedly: "I never expected to be in the top ten! Di Chen, did you see me?"


    Di Chen was already mentally prepared, he did not expect to be able to enter the top ten. After all, there were too many talents in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, he only hoped to be able to enter the rankings.


    "I failed," Di Chen said, disappointed. He had always hoped to change his fate through the Imperial examinations, although he could now cultivate, he had never given up on this wish.


    It was still the first time Shang Yu had seen Di Chen''s sorrowful look, and she consoled, "Big Brother Di Chen doesn''t need to mind, you can already cultivate now, so what if you don''t get on the leaderboard?"


    Qin Suer comforted her: "That''s right, Di Chen, you are talented and threatening, I believe you are not inferior to those on the list, if you fall today, you can take the examination again in the future."


    However, the Imperial Examinations were held every five years, and life was in a hurry. Where did all these years come from?


    Lin Tao did not mind at all and said: "I''ve told you before, if you want to take any examinations, that''s fine too. If you fail, you can go to Sky Realm Academy."


    had interacted with him many times, and knew that his literary skills were outstanding. was also surprised, and laughed: "Di Chen, your literary skills are better than mine, maybe the reason why you lost is because your essay and the judge''s idea are opposite, he doesn''t like it, it''s just that your luck is bad."


    That was the truth. Every head judge had different tastes and perspectives, so it was natural for them to have different judges review the dossier for different results. But no matter what, Di Chen had still failed.


    Di Chen let out a long sigh, then laughed: "You don''t have to comfort me, I''m fine, my life is not as good as yours, and even though I am not ranked, I can still take the Sky Realm Academy test.


    Previously, Di Chen could not learn martial arts, which was why he wanted to participate in the Imperial examinations.


    Although Di Chen had failed, he was still a Level 9 Scholar. This Martial Region Continent did not have many Scholars in the first place, and the people on the list were not much stronger than Di Chen.

 C39

    "Yi, Di Chen, looks like you failed the rankings," Just then, Jin Rui walked over, looked at the list and laughed: "You think your literary talent is good, but you are not."


    "Big Brother," Jin Yaner grumbled from the side. "Why are you always adding insult to injury, can''t you say a few less words?"


    Jin Rui said with dissatisfaction: "I say, why do you always speak up for him, have you forgotten that he had beaten me before? How can you take advantage of the situation, when Father comes back, I will definitely let him marry you out."


    Jin Yaner knew that Jin Rui was very narrow-minded. After being beaten up by Di Chen once, she had always been thinking about how to take revenge on Di Chen, so she didn''t want to talk to him about it.


    "Di Chen," Jin Yaner said apologetically, "This is precisely the temper of my big brother.


    Di Chen was very interested in Jin Yaner, and laughed: "A gentleman does not fight with villains, don''t worry, I will not argue with him, but you have to properly advise your big brother, don''t always find fault with yourself."


    "You ¡­" When Jin Rui heard this, he wanted to exchange three hundred rounds with Di Chen. However, he had led people to deal with Di Chen many times already, but this was the first time he had led people to get killed by Di Chen, hence he had lost a lot of subordinates. This time, he did not bring anyone with him.


    Jin Yaner did not mind Di Chen ridiculing his big brother, and smiled sweetly.


    "Yo, Di Chen, you''re already off the list, yet you''re still so arrogant?"


    It was Ai Yeshi, he was bringing along a man, this person''s body was releasing immense amounts of spirit energy, it seemed like he was at least in Lifestealer Realm.


    Di Chen was at the first level of the Lifestealer Realm, and the most of the people he had defeated before were at the second or third level of the double stage.


    Xiao Shengnan, Shang Yu and the others were also on guard, a life reaping triple stage might not be something to be looked down upon, and they did not know what kind of martial soul he was.


    Seeing that, Jin Rui laughed out loud: Di Chen, weren''t you acting very arrogantly just now, why aren''t you saying anything now?


    Di Chen focused and did not say much. He immediately brought Shang Yu to bypass Jin Rui and Ai Yeshi and left.


    Ai Yeshi stepped in front of Di Chen to block his way, teasing him: "I haven''t even finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I see that your father Ai Lun is a famous general of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, a pillar of the Nation, so I did not care about it previously, but your ability to ruin your father''s reputation is too strong, don''t you think that I should teach you a lesson on your father''s behalf?"


    This was the truth, General Ai Lun had killed countless demons and was extremely famous in the Hong Huang City. Who didn''t praise him when mentioning him, but he had such a disappointing son like Ai Yeshi!


    Ai Yeshi knew that his reputation was not good and was often called the General Ai Lun. This was what he hated the most, and when he heard it, his face darkened: "Di Chen, you are really courting death. It seems like if I don''t teach you a lesson, you really don''t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."


    He turned around to look at the people behind him and said, "Go and kill him."


    The man did not speak, his spirit energy immediately gushing out, he punched towards Di Chen. He moved like a tiger, his fist wind carrying the sound of a tiger''s roar, it was as though his power could shatter the air.


    "Is this the Fate Ending triple stage?" Lin Tao and the rest were astonished. Even though they were far away, they could still feel this powerful ripple.


    Ai Yeshi laughed coldly: "Di Chen, you''re not comparable to a first stage practitioner of triple stage. Go and die."


    Di Chen squinted his eyes as he stared at the man, instead of taking a step back, he also punched towards the man, the only difference was that Di Chen''s punch did not have any energy fluctuations, as though he wanted to use his own body''s power to clash with the man''s fist.


    "Still trying to fight? You''re looking to die," Jin Rui said with an expression of joy. He did not think that Di Chen could defeat him.


    However, things were not as he had imagined!


    Bang!


    The two fists collided, and a burst of powerful force rippled out, the man''s arm immediately exploded, blood and flesh flying everywhere as it splattered onto Ai Yeshi''s body.


    "What?" Ai Yeshi had a face full of surprise. A person with life-stealing triple stage was actually injured by a single punch from someone at the first stage?


    This scene could be seen by many people present. Originally, none of them thought that Di Chen would win, they just did not expect this outcome to be so unexpected.


    "Impossible, I do not believe that I would actually lose to you," the man looked at his severed arm with a face filled with dissatisfaction, he slapped his body, and his spirit energy actually turned into a spotted tiger in front of him. This spotted tiger roared, and its earth-shaking roar sounded.


    "This is the level four demonic beast, Cang Ming Hu. This fellow''s martial soul is actually stronger than him?"


    Upon seeing this sight, the crowd was astonished.


    It had to be known that martial soul s were easier to form, but they were different from normal martial soul s. Most people would kill a demonic beast and forcefully form their own soul into their own martial soul, but under normal circumstances, the soul that they refined would not be stronger than their own cultivation, otherwise they would suffer a backlash and their bodies would explode. This Cangming Tiger was an even more ordinary level four demonic beast.


    "How powerful is the Cangming Tiger? After condensing it into a martial soul, its strength multiplied and it''s not something an ordinary person can deal with. This guy is dead for sure."


    "That''s right, I wonder what methods this person has."


    No one seemed to be optimistic about Di Chen.


    Lin Tao and the rest had grim expressions, but they knew that Di Chen had a lot of methods, and he had not even used his true martial arts yet.


    The power of the word surged out from Di Chen''s body as he quickly wrote the word "fixed" in mid air. This word directly floated towards the fierce tiger.


    When the word "seal" smashed into the body of the Cangming Tiger, it let out a roar and was forced a few steps back. However, it did not scatter, but rather, it dispersed Di Chen''s "fix" word.


    Ai Yeshi laughed coldly: "It''s still the same method you used to deal with me. Could it be that you only know this technique?"


    Jin Rui also laughed: "Could it be that you have exhausted all your abilities?"


    That person pointed at Cang Ming Hu, and Cang Ming Hu once again rushed towards Di Chen.


    Among Di Chen''s three formula s, formula was the weakest. In fact, he only wanted to rely on this move to test the power of the Vast Nether Tiger. It seemed like he would need to use his second formula to kill the tiger.


    Di Chen wrote the word "cut" in the air again. The "cut" character was filled with killing intent and with a majestic aura, it shot towards the Cangming Tiger like a blade.


    "What?" That person did not expect the Cangming Tiger to be so weak that it could not withstand a single blow. He took a step back in fear, and at that moment, the word "cut" landed on the person''s body and cut him into two.


    To kill with a single word, this was the might of the scripture.


    But no one knew what method Di Chen used, he clearly did not have any spirit force undulations, so how could he so easily cross the border to kill people?


    In fact, if Di Chen was a warrior, he would not be able to kill that person. However, he was a level 9 scholar, and it was difficult for him to cultivate.


    "Ai Yeshi, why is it that every time you bring someone along, they are always so weak? Do you want to try it yourself?"


    Lin Tao laughed out loud: "I believe that Di Chen is very willing to spar with you, of course, these punches and kicks have no eyes, we cannot guarantee if it will injure you."


    Ai Yeshi glanced at the person who was cut into two, this was already the strongest person he could bring out, he did not dare to deal with Di Chen personally, and said: "Just you wait, sooner or later I will make you regret this."


    With that, he waved his sleeves and left.


    The gazes of Di Chen and the others landed on Jin Kai playfully.


    Jin Kai''s face darkened, and said softly: "Di Chen, I think you will go to Sky Realm Academy for the assessment, and as luck would have it, I will go as well. My Sky Realm Academy will see you, but that is on the premise that you are able to enter the Sky Realm Academy, Yan''er, let''s go."


    Although these academies only cultivated martial artists, in truth, there were people in the imperial court behind every academy, and in the future, the people they nurtured would still be able to serve in the imperial court. Of course, the powers in the imperial court were complicated, and the people they nurtured would naturally enter into different camps in the future, but there were also a lot of people who would not join the imperial court. It had to be known that although the imperial court was strong, the martial artists were proud and unyielding.


    It was said that the Thousand Autumn Dynasty and General Ai Lun had some sort of relationship, as for which relationship they had, no one could say.


    The Thousand Autumn Dynasty was the seat of the entire Martial Region Continent, and the people in the imperial court were all high and mighty, so naturally, there were many secrets.


    Jin Yan looked at Di Chen helplessly: "I''m leaving too, Di Chen, take care."


    Shang Yu said with a smile that was not a smile: "Big brother Di Chen, this Jin Yaner seems to be very concerned about you.


    Di Chen laughed: "Girl, you still have the nerve to say that to me, you already have many admirers before."


    Shang Yu stuck out her tongue, "But Yu''er only likes Big Brother Di Chen."


    Lin Tao was not in a good mood: "I say, the two of you, don''t embroidered love in front of us. Di Chen, we have to go to Sky Realm Academy."


    Previously, Shang Yu''s brother, Shang Qing, had told Di Chen to quickly register at the Sky Realm Academy. After calculating the time, it seemed that the Sky Realm Academy''s examination was about to begin.


    There were countless strong warriors in the Sky Realm Academy, that was the heaven for warriors.


    Di Chen nodded, then looked at Qin Suer and said: "Come with us."


    Qin Suer thought for a while and said: "Right now, I have nowhere to go, I''ll go wherever you go."


    These words seemed to be a little dubious and''s fiancee, Shang Yu, was beside them. She hurriedly said, "Moreover, I also can''t bear to part with little sister Shang Yu."


    How could Shang Yu not know what Qin Suer was thinking? After opening her mouth, she did not expose him, and only smiled mischievously at Qin Suer.


    Di Chen then looked at Xiao Shengnan and asked, "What about you?"


    Xiao Shengnan laughed: "Do I look like someone who studies martial arts?"


    Di Chen knew what Xiao Shengnan meant, and laughed: "Then, we''ll meet again later."


    Xiao Shengnan laughed, then watched Di Chen leave her line of sight, thinking that they would never meet again.

 C40

    The next day, Di Chen, Qin Suer and the others packed up and headed towards the Sky Realm Academy. The Sky Realm Academy was located in the center of the Martial Region Continent, located in the middle of the Millennium City, which was one of the three biggest cities in the Martial Region Continent, and it was said that the original capital of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty was located here. However, in order to easily control the situation of the entire continent, the capital was brought to the Sky City.


    Half a month later!


    On top of the wall, rows of small figures could be vaguely seen. That was the officers who were stationed there, and the wall that was wrapped around the entire Millennium City was as firm as gold and steel, so strong that even the Demonic Lord and Demon Ancestor would not be able to break through the wall. It was said that there were outsiders that had already invaded this place, and even though they were able to attack for a month, they were still unable to defeat the Millennium City.


    "I really wonder how Thousand Autumn Dynasty''s ancestors could build such a huge project."


    Di Chen couldn''t help but exclaim when he saw the city wall: "This Millennium City is indeed worthy of being one of the three great cities of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty."


    Shang Yu laughed, "Big Brother Di Chen, you better not say such a sigh in front of outsiders.


    It was only then that Di Chen remembered that Shang Yu was Sky Realm Academy''s disciple, but he had been here for eight years.


    There were two rows of guards outside the city gate and a Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror hung above the city gate. This mirror was used to look at the demon mirror to prevent demons from entering the Millennium City.


    There were many people walking in and out of Millennium City. There were many shops on both sides of the wide street, and there were also many hawkers on the street. Even the things that the hawkers sold were not something Ling''an City could compare to.


    "Green Spirit Pill, Earth Root Grass ¡­" Di Chen looked at the items that were being sold, and was speechless. These items were priceless treasures in the Ling''an City, but in this place, they were sold on the ground?


    "So many strong practitioners," Di Chen noticed that any random passerby on the road would use Lifestealer Realm. It seemed that strong practitioners of Lifestealer Realm were not worth much here, as even those hawkers had Lifestealer Realm, some even had the strength of the eighth or ninth stage.


    What do you mean by there''s someone stronger than him? There''s always someone stronger than him, and this time Di Chen finally understood how shortsighted he was before.


    Lin Tao clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "That''s right, there are so many geniuses here, and so many Lifestealer Realm s. How do they cultivate?"


    Di Chen had learned the Sky Text Sutra, and after ten years of hard work, the scholars were able to calm their hearts down, not panicking in the face of danger, thus they were able to maintain their calm. But Lin Tao was different, he was a child king, and the Lin Family was considered a reputable family in Ling''an City, so he was "very knowledgeable", but when he came to this place, he realized that his knowledge was limited, so his shocked expression looked silly.


    Qin Suer laughed: "Di Chen, Lin Tao, stop delaying us, there are a lot of people in Millennium City, and there are also a lot of people who are here for the assessment. We need to quickly find a place to rest, otherwise we will be stuck on the streets."


    There were many inns in Millennium City, but all of them were surprisingly expensive. Di Chen really did not have much money on him, in the end he chose a small inn and asked for two rooms, Qin Suer and Shang Yu would stay together, Lin Tao and Di Chen would stay together.


    After finding an inn, they started eating. Even the delicacies of the Millennium City were better than the Ling''an City by a hundred times, no wonder the people of the Martial Region Continent wanted to squeeze into the three big cities.


    It''s just that there are countless experts in the Millennium City, and not many can stand up here.


    "Where are we going later?" It was Di Chen''s first time here, and he didn''t have any sense of direction. There was still half a month before the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment, and he didn''t know what to do either.


    Qin Suer thought for a while, then said: "We will go to the medicine shop later to see if there are any pills that can cure Lin Tao''s injuries."


    "Really?" The reason he came out with Di Chen this time was not only to see the world, but also to try his luck and see if there was a chance to recover his broken veins.


    Shang Yu laughed: "There are a lot of medical masters in this Millennium City, there are a lot of people who can cure you, but those people are not people that we can ask for. However, there are a lot of miraculous pills here, I think there should be something that can treat your injuries."


    Lin Tao could not wait any longer and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let''s go!"


    Shang Yu said, "I know that there is a store here that might have what we need. Although the things there are very expensive, it doesn''t matter if we go over to take a look."


    This pavilion is one of the biggest shops in the Millennium City, occupying hundreds of acres of land, selling all kinds of pills, cultivation techniques, materials, weapons, etc. This pavilion is the only place that you can think of, and there is nothing you cannot buy here. Of course, you can also sell your things to the Universe Pavilion.


    After an hour, the four finally arrived at the Pavilion of All Things. The pavilion had seven floors, and each floor provided the required items for different experts. Usually, only those who had reached a certain level could enter the corresponding level.


    The first floor was where Lifestealer Realm practitioners shopped, because the base realm of the Millennium City was Lifestealer Realm. Those ordinary warriors were like ordinary people here, with no status, and could only do odd jobs, like servants.


    Di Chen asked: "I can feel a very strong Spiritual Energy here, I think there must be a medicine to treat big brother Lin Tao. Girl, you are familiar with this place, bring us there quickly."


    Each level of the Pavilion of All Things is separated into different areas, and different areas also sell different products. Shang Yu brought along a few people who came to this area to sell pills, and the moment they arrived, they could smell a delicate fragrance, this fragrance had a medicinal effect, if it was a normal disease, then the smell would have been completely cured.


    Shang Yu pointed to the surroundings and said, "This is the pill shop. Sister Su''er, you are familiar with the pill. I''m sure you know what kind of pill can heal big brother Lin Tao''s injuries."


    Qin Suer looked around and said: "Look, all of the more expensive pills have the power of the Invigorated Meridian Rebirth, it''s a pity that this kind of thing is too expensive, we cannot afford it."


    One must know that the Medicinal Pills in the Universe Pavilion were very effective, but the price was not low. Although Qin Suer had found out that many of the Medicinal Pills could heal injuries, she was still unable to buy them.


    A few people wandered around the medicine area before arriving at a counter after a while. There were few customers at this counter. The pills did not seem to be as good as the others, but the price was relatively low.


    I found it, "Qin Suer said as she pointed to a small red bottle:" Inside is a One Breath Life Bone Pill, it is a type of second-grade pill, able to heal the injuries of Lin Tao, but Lin Tao''s injuries are quite severe, he needs at least ten pills.


    Pills were divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine realms of a martial practitioner.


    However, the One Breath Bone Piercing Pill was a low tier pill, so it had to be used to treat Lin Tao''s injuries.


    When Lin Tao heard that this pill could cure his injuries, he was initially excited, but after hearing that Qin Suer needed ten of them, he revealed a worried look on his face. This One Breath Life Bone Pill cost 100 taels of silver, and 10 of them would be 1000 taels of silver, if they were to pay 1000 taels of silver in Ling''an City previously, it would not be much, but ever since the Di Family was destroyed, all of their belongings had been snatched away. This time, Di Chen did not bring much with him.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "Now that I only have a thousand gold, I will probably end up on the streets if I buy pills."


    Di Chen looked at Shang Yu and asked, "Aren''t you a student of the Sky Realm Academy, do you have any friends that can lend you some?"


    Shang Yu found it hard to accept: "I can lend them to you, but I don''t want to owe others favors. Actually, we can go to the Thousand Monster Mountain to hunt demonic beast s, and after selling them, we will be able to gather enough money to buy medicinal pellets."


    There were countless demonic beast s in the mountain, and there were even demonic beast s who had reached the level of Spirit Demon Saints. Although it was dangerous, there were indeed many treasures inside the mountain, and many cultivators would go to the Thousand Monster Mountain to train. The Sky Realm Academy would also send disciples to the Thousand Monster Mountain to train every year.


    Di Chen thought that now was the only way, but he was only at the first stage of Life Stealing, and Qin Suer was just a normal warrior, while Shang Yu was a little stronger, but Di Chen had never seen Shang Yu take action, and did not know how strong she really was. It seemed that he was the only one in Thousand Monster Mountain this time, and that there might be some danger involved.


    "Junior Sister Yu." At this moment, an excited voice sounded from the side.


    Everyone looked over and saw an eighteen to nineteen year old youth. He wore a sky-blue satin robe, had long hair, two starry eyes, and had a gold jade track tied around his waist. He looked very elegant.


    Seeing this, Shang Yu''s face turned cold: "Cao Fei, why is it you?"


    Cao Fei turned a blind eye to Shang Yu''s cold attitude, walked in front of her, and said with a smile: "I heard that you went back to your old home, and I was wondering when I could see you again. I never thought that you would return so quickly.


    Shang Yu originally wanted to leave, but after staring blankly for a moment, she suddenly revealed a trace of worry and said, "That''s right, I wanted to buy ten One Breath Life Bone Pill, but I didn''t bring any money."


    Her calm personality was cold, and other than Di Chen, no one else would give a good face, but at that moment, she revealed an anxious expression, looking very pitiful.


    Di Chen was speechless, he had seen Shang Yu''s expression before, and it looked like he had done something bad.

 C41

    This meant that Shang Yu had feelings for him. Cao Fei quickly said: "Junior Sister Yu, don''t worry, how much more do you need, I will help you pay."


    Shang Yu was overjoyed. "Really, Senior Brother Cao Fei, you''re too good. I''m a thousand liang less."


    At first, when Cao Fei saw Shang Yu''s happy look, he couldn''t help but smile, but when he heard Shang Yu say that it would be 1000 taels less, his expression stiffened. She wanted to buy 10 One Breath Life Bone Pills for a total of 1000 taels, but she said that it would be 1000 taels less.


    It had to be known that cultivators often needed to buy pills, cultivation techniques, and weapons, but the most expensive thing was a thousand gold. Although Cao Fei could afford it, he was truly reluctant.


    Seeing Cao Fei''s difficult expression, Shang Yu said sorrowfully: "Looks like Senior Brother Cao Fei cannot take it out either. Forget it, I''ll go back first."


    As he spoke, he turned around and left. His expression seemed to have declined a lot.


    "Wait a minute," Cao Fei said with a pained look on his face. He had already said what he wanted to say, and although he couldn''t bear to part with the money, he didn''t want to lose face.


    Shang Yu''s face revealed a joyous expression again as she jumped and walked in front of Cao Fei. With a bashful face, she said in a soft voice, "Senior Brother Cao Fei, you are so nice."


    This sound of "how nice" made Cao Fei''s heart burst with joy, he immediately took out his money bag and placed it on the counter, with the attitude of "I''m very rich", he said: "Shopkeeper, give me ten One Breath Life Bone Pills."


    The shopkeeper smiled, took out ten One Breath Life Pill, and then put away the one thousand silver notes. Even he couldn''t help but curse in his heart; who didn''t know that Shang Yu was lying to him?


    Cao Fei gave the ten One Breath Life Bone Pills to Shang Yu and smiled: "Junior Sister Yu, here are your pills."


    Shang Yu took the pill and smiled, "Thank you Senior Brother Cao Fei, I will definitely repay you for your kindness."


    Cao Fei waved his hands over and over again, "Junior Sister Shang Yu, what are you saying? I am your senior brother, why would I ask you to repay me?"


    Saying this, he changed the topic and said: "How about this, I heard that there''s something strange happening recently in Thousand Monster Mountain, there might be some heavenly materials appearing, a lot of people went to try their luck, how about we go together?"


    Shang Yu found it hard to believe. "Senior Brother Cao Fei, I''m really sorry. I can''t go with you.


    Cao Fei originally thought that Shang Yu would agree, but when he heard the two words "fiance", his face stiffened.


    "You already have a fiance?" It was not that Shang Yu had a strong cultivation, the most important thing was that she was beautiful, there were naturally many people who liked her, but hearing that Shang Yu rarely interacted with men, even if those few geniuses in the academy pursued her, she would not notice, and it was rumored that Shang Yu had requested for her to be married. But now, Shang Yu said that she was unmarried?


    From Shang Yu''s expression, it seemed that she really liked her fiance!


    Shang Yu held onto Di Chen''s arm, and laughed: "That''s right, he is my fiance."


    "Him?" Cao Fei looked at Di Chen in shock. There was not a single fluctuation of spirit energy on Di Chen''s body, and he was clearly not a warrior. He could not help but say straightforwardly: "Junior Sister Yu, you are one of the four beauties of the Sky Realm Academy.


    The Martial Region Continent respected martial arts, and those who did not practice martial arts were called trash.


    Since Cao Fei was an expert that took his life from triple stage, it was naturally not common for him to be able to enter the Sky Realm Academy s. However, Di Chen did not have any Origin Energy Methods in his body, so he was qualified to call Di Chen trash.


    When Shang Yu heard the two words "trash", his face darkened. What she hated the most was others calling Di Chen trash, and he said coldly, "Cao Fei, pay attention to your words."


    You were just being warm with me, but now you''re back to being cold? Aren''t you changing too fast?


    Cao Fei held back his anger and said seriously: "Junior Sister Yu, I advise you to end the engagement earlier, you are no longer that Shang Yu from the Ling''an City you were before, you are now a favored son of heaven for our Sky Realm Academy, even the Principal values you, your future is limitless, how can you marry a trash?"


    Although Shang Yu''s cultivation was average, she was still highly valued in the Sky Realm Academy, which was why everyone was confused about her.


    Shang Yu''s vitality fluctuated, she almost wanted to attack, she did not like people calling her trash.


    Di Chen pulled Shang Yu back, and laughed: "Girl, don''t cause trouble. After all, he spent a thousand gold for us to buy pills, how can you be so rude to him?"


    Shang Yu smiled sweetly, "Since Big Brother Di Chen said that it is so, then I will not make my move. Let''s go."


    As he said that, he left with Di Chen, not even sparing Cao Fei a glance.


    Cao Fei''s face sunk, it could be seen that Shang Yu liked this guy. He spent a thousand gold just to please Shang Yu, but after you took the thing, you actually turned hostile?


    Since you already have a fiance, why are you being so friendly with me and causing me to misunderstand?


    How could Cao Fei endure such a thing?


    Cao Fei immediately rushed in front of Shang Yu and blocked everyone''s path, then said coldly: "Junior Sister Shang Yu, you are still young and don''t understand the dangers of this world. I know that someone like you who knows how to marry a trash who hasn''t cultivated is forced to do so.


    Then, he looked at Di Chen and said: "I don''t know how you managed to deceive Junior Sister Shang Yu into liking you, but I suggest that you give up on this marriage. You guys are not people of the same world, trash like you will only implicate Junior Sister Shang Yu.


    Shang Yu''s voice was cold: "Cao Fei, you''ve always been pestering me, today I''ll give you a lesson with the thousand taels, I''ll treat what you said as nothing, and quickly scram, otherwise don''t blame me for being ruthless."


    Cao Fei said righteously: "Junior Sister Shang Yu, I know you have your own difficulties, don''t worry, I won''t leave you behind."


    These words made Di Chen at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He thought that this Cao Fei was speaking lies with his eyes wide open, how could he see that Shang Yu was having troubles?


    It was likely that he had spent his money in vain, so he tried to find an excuse to make things difficult for Zhang Xuan.


    Lin Tao had an impatient look on his face as he said, "Let''s go, don''t worry about this guy."


    Di Chen did not want to fight with Cao Fei. After all, Shang Yu was the one who did this unscrupulously, so he brought Shang Yu and left.


    Cao Fei pestered her incessantly, and stopped her, saying seriously: "Little sister Shang Yu, you do not need to be afraid, will I protect you?"


    Shang Yu almost wanted to make a move, do I need your protection?


    Di Chen''s face turned ugly, and he frowned: "Rain girl does not need your protection, if you leave this place, I will not bother with the two words'' trash ''."


    "Shut your mouth," Cao Fei berated: "Who allowed you to call Junior Sister Yu so cordially, you''re just a piece of trash, are you still afraid of others saying that? If you win, I''ll let you guys go."


    Lin Tao mocked, "Do you still need to let us leave if you win?"


    Cao Fei was so angry that he was confused. His words were a little strange as he stared at Di Chen without uttering a word.


    Seeing that Cao Fei did not seem to be willing to give up, Di Chen slightly shook his head, looked at Shang Yu and the others and said: "All of you move to the side, I will settle him quickly."


    Shang Yu reminded: "Big Brother Di Chen, be careful, this guy is different from the people you met before."


    Di Chen was naturally aware that Cao Fei was, after all, a disciple of the Sky Realm Academy.


    When Di Chen and Cao Fei arrived outside the Universe Pavilion, many people around them heard the argument between the two. There were countless experts in the Millennium City and countless geniuses, so it was common for people to fight like this. In addition, since Cao Fei was only fighting with his life on the line for triple stage, Di Fei did not have much strength left, so no one would be curious about him, but Cao Fei was after all a person from the Sky Realm Academy, and there were still some people who were watching.


    "This guy doesn''t have a Spiritual Energy in his body, how would he dare to fight with someone with a life-stealing triple stage?"


    "Maybe this guy is hiding his strength!"


    "How does he hide his soul force? Did he reach the Martial King Realm?"


    There were people who could hide their cultivation, but not spirit energy. As long as they learnt martial arts, their bodies would release spirit energy, but Di Chen''s body would not have any spirit energy, he was clearly an ordinary person.


    Everyone was discussing, and it seemed like they did not think well of Di Chen.


    "Punches have no eyes. Don''t blame me for hurting you!"


    Cao Fei sprung up with a leap, and threw a punch at Di Chen. Seems like Di Chen did not plan to give him the chance to retaliate, this punch was very strong, and he was prepared to kill him in one strike.


    "You want to kill me?" Di Chen frowned, if it was only because he was unconvinced that he could make a move, that would be fine, but when he made a move, it was a killing move, it was unbearable for Di Chen.


    Di Chen wrote the word "steady" in the air with his finger, and the power of his words gushed out.


    Just as Cao Fei rushed to the front of Di Chen, his body suddenly stopped, in front of Di Chen, he suddenly stopped, as though he was trapped by an invisible force and was unable to move.


    "My body?" This was the first time he had seen such a strange move, and the key was that he did not know how Di Chen did it.


    Di Chen laughed, and then smashed his fist onto Cao Fei''s body, directly sending Cao Fei flying, and rolled over ten times on the ground. Although he was at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, he still used brute strength, and there were no energy waves, but Di Chen''s punch was not something that an ordinary person could withstand.


    "How did this fellow do it?" The power of his words was the power of his words, it was different from the warriors'' spirit energy, and they could not feel it. Everyone only saw Di Chen''s hands moving in the air, and did not know what he was doing.


    Cao Fei crawled up from the ground, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Di Chen unconvinced: "It''s not over yet."


    As he spoke, a majestic burst of elemental energy gushed out from his body. It was as though the elemental energy was about to shatter the void, causing the void to emit a crackling sound.


    Everyone started to retreat, Cao Fei was serious, it seemed like he was in danger.

 C42

    Cao Fei''s spirit energy formed a ten feet long sword image above Di Chen''s head, Cao Fei used his right hand to slash, following Cao Fei''s movements, the sword image whistled down.


    "Sword Martial Spirit," Di Chen said with a grave expression on his face. Sword Martial Spirit was usually the most injurious of the artifact martial soul.


    The power of his words surged out, the word ''cut'' struck the sword projection like a sharp blade, the two clashed together, the sword and blade both collapsed at the same time, a wave of ripples spreading out, Di Chen was pushed back a few steps, while Cao Fei was flipped over and smashed heavily onto the ground, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.


    When Cao Fei landed on the ground, it proved that he had completely lost to Di Chen!


    "Impossible," Cao Fei said as he looked at Di Chen in disbelief. His Sword Martial Spirit was a descendant of the Cao family, but he was actually unable to defeat someone at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm?


    Seeing this scene, the spectators were all amazed.


    "This guy is so powerful, but why haven''t I seen any Yuan Li undulations from him?"


    "That''s right. Fighters use elemental energy as their foundation. The martial arts this man is using is so powerful, but the elemental energy doesn''t fluctuate at all. What''s going on?"


    No elemental energy, no martial arts!


    All the martial arts of a warrior were executed using elemental energy. However, Di Chen had such a strong battle and there was no movement of elemental energy in his body, which made everyone curious.


    Shang Yu walked over and asked with a pained heart: "Big Brother Di Chen, are you hurt?"


    "Let me see," Qin Suer said as she grabbed Di Chen''s wrist and checked his pulse. Then she said: "This Cao Fei is indeed powerful, his meridians are damaged, but he is fine.


    Hearing this, Shang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, then fiercely looked at Cao Fei and wanted to attack him.


    Di Chen pulled Shang Yu back, and laughed: "Forget it, let''s go."


    If it was before, Di Chen would definitely kill people, he had always been decisive in killing, but this time, after all, Shang Yu was the one who wasn''t kind.


    "Don''t leave," Cao Fei was unwilling, he still wanted to attack, but just as he moved, he spat out another mouthful of blood. His body couldn''t move at all, and could only watch as the other party left.


    There were two old men on the seventh floor of the Universe Pavilion. One of them had a head full of white hair, old like a dragon, and his hands were tied behind his back, this person was the Principal of the Sky Realm Academy, Mu Zhongli. Beside Mu Zhongli was a black-haired old man wearing a robe, giving off a feeling of might without getting angry, and this person was the Vice Principal of the Sky Realm Academy, Liang Xinghe.


    Mu Zhongli curiously looked at Di Chen''s back figure and smiled: "This Martial Region Continent is indeed talented. Xinghe, did you see what technique he used just now?"


    Liang Xinghe stared at Di Chen for a while and said: "Just now, his body did not have a trace of spirit energy, but each and every attack was extremely powerful, so I presume that what he used was not spirit energy, but a literati?"


    If one practiced martial arts, then there would be elemental energy in the body. If one practiced literati, then there would be another power in the body but this power could not be seen or felt. If it were not for literati, it would be impossible to see through.


    However, in the entire Martial Region Continent, there were very few people, and it was incredibly difficult to become a saint with knowledge. Even Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli had not seen many of them.


    "I can see that his body is thin and weak, that''s why he cultivates the arts in such a way. He is definitely a martial artist, he is a literati."


    When Mu Zhongli said this, his face was full of doubt, "Most of the cultivators who practice literature will be participating in science and technology, but this guy is obviously here to participate in Sky Realm Academy''s assessment at this time. A literati will even participate in our academy''s assessment?"


    Liang Xinghe thought for a while, "The Imperial examinations just ended, and the Flame Emperor has already made his announcement. I think that this guy must have failed the examinations, which is why he is here to take the Sky Realm Academy examination."


    Mu Zhongli shook his head. "Look at his strength. He must be someone with literary talent. This kind of person should not have failed the examinations. Perhaps he is a scholar, but he has never thought of taking the Imperial Examinations."


    However, there were some people who were born with no attainments in martial arts, so these people could only study. Normally, the scholars would choose to take part in the Imperial examinations to rise above the rest, and this was their only way out for them. There were many scholars in Martial Region Continent, but not many of them were able to turn into martial artists.


    There was a huge difference between a literati and a scholar. Scholars might have literary talents, but they might not have strength, and literati had not only literary talents, but they also had the ability to use writing as a martial skill, and the brush as a sword, as well as the language.


    Since Di Chen was a literati, it naturally showed that he was talented. How could such a person fail the rankings?


    Liang Xinghe laughed: "He is an interesting fellow, I wonder what kind of relationship he has with Shang Yu. Shang Yu, this girl, is as cold as ice and frost, yet she is so sticky, like a completely different person compared to before. If those people from the academy who admire Shang Yu were to see her, I wonder what they would think."


    Shang Yu rarely interacted with others in the academy, especially with the man. He always had a look of "don''t disturb me", but now she held onto Di Chen''s arm, with the bashful look of a little girl. This made even Liang Xinghe surprised.


    Shang Yu was called the Ice Beauty in the academy. Since when did she like someone so much?


    Mu Zhongli laughed. "That''s right, I heard that the genius from the Jiang family and the genius from the Fang family will be participating in the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment. Looks like this assessment will be interesting."


    Liang Xinghe also revealed a face full of anticipation. Every year, there would be a lot of people who came to the Sky Realm Academy to take the examination, but this was the first time he saw how the two Principal looked forward to the examination.


    It was rumored that the Jiang Clan and Fang Clan would be the top two this year. However, it seemed that there would be a lot of dark horses that would shock them this year.


    Of course, Di Chen did not know that he had already become the target of discussion. He did not mind the fact that there were countless experts in Millennium City and that he was only at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm.


    In reality, although the Martial Region Continent respected martial arts, there were still many of them. It was just that cultivation was harder than martial cultivation, and very few cultivators could become sages, let alone defeat martial cultivators.


    Previously, when Di Chen said that he wanted to study and participate in the Imperial Examinations, many people ridiculed him, saying that no matter how good a martial artist one was while reading a book, they would be able to kill you with a slap. That was the truth.


    "Little girl, you''ve gone too far this time."


    On the way back, Di Chen said snappily: "I think that Cao Fei only admires you. Why did you lie to him for a thousand silver."


    Shang Yu laughed happily: "This Cao Fei is so annoying, relying on his sister''s status and strength in the academy to show off, if it wasn''t for his sister, I would have already taught him a lesson. Being lectured by you this time is also good, let''s see if he dares to disturb me in the future."


    It was only then that Di Chen knew Shang Yu''s goal, and glanced at her angrily: "So you want me to avenge you, little girl, to use you on your own."


    Shang Yu said coquettishly, "Don''t even mention making use of him to sound bad, I''m your fianc¨¦e. Since someone is bullying me, of course you have to help me teach him a lesson."


    Di Chen said in a speechless manner: "We can''t talk too much about you, let''s hurry up and go back, let''s first help Lin Tao recover his injuries and then we can talk."


    The few of them returned to the inn.


    Qin Suer took out a small green bottle. This bottle contained the spirit liquid refined by Qin Suer herself.


    Lin Tao took out a One Breath Life Pill and swallowed it before drinking another mouthful of elixir. The elixir melted in his mouth and a warm and cold energy entered his body. Lin Tao could feel an itch in his body because his meridians were being reborn.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tao stretched his body. Previously, just by exerting a little bit of strength, he would feel a heart-wrenching pain, and he couldn''t walk for too long. But now, after throwing a few punches, he didn''t feel any pain at all.


    Lin Tao said excitedly, "This Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead is indeed magical. My body seems to have recovered quite a bit."


    Qin Suer laughed: "In the future, one pellet per day. After ten days, your body will be able to recover, but you need to start training again."


    Lin Tao''s face was originally filled with excitement, but upon hearing these words, he immediately said with a sullen face: "I''m already so old, do you still have any chance of reaching Lifestealer Realm after cultivating again?"


    Fighters cultivate and build their foundation from a young age. Even Lin Tao, who had cultivated for over a decade, was still a Fighter 6-dan. He had long surpassed the golden age for building his foundation, so it would be difficult for him to cultivate again.


    Di Chen comforted her: "Cultivation also depends on luck, I have not cultivated for long, and have still not become a Lifestealer Realm. Lin Tao, how big is this Martial Region Continent, with countless immortal fates, you will still have a chance."


    Lin Tao laughed bitterly: "Who can compare to you, I''m not that kind of lucky chance. Forget it, I''ll just take it one step at a time, maybe I''ll even have a chance to break through Lifestealer Realm."


    Lin Tao seemed to be very sad, but Lin Tao was in a good mood and did not put this matter to heart. After all, the world was unpredictable, so who could say what would happen in the future?


    "Oh yeah," Di Chen suddenly thought of Cao Fei''s words. "Didn''t Cao Fei say that there was something strange going on with the Thousand Monster Mountain, why don''t we go and try our luck?"


    Shang Yu immediately retorted: "Big Brother Di Chen, don''t act recklessly. Although this Thousand Monster Mountain has countless treasures, there are also many demonic beast and some have even become Demon Saints. With your cultivation, you definitely won''t be able to return."


    Thousand Monster Mountain was the biggest mountain in the area, and in the neighboring cities, many people would enter the Thousand Monster Mountain to hunt demonic beast s and collect Spirit Grass s. Sky Realm Academy would also send people to train in the Thousand Monster Mountain every year, and it could be said that the Thousand Monster Mountain was a natural treasure trove, but it was dangerous in the mountain, so there were only a few people who could return safely.


    Di Chen was only at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and this kind of realm would probably cause him to be killed by demonic beast the moment he reached the foot of the mountain.

 C43

    The Thousand Monster Mountain was a treasure vault, but it could also be said to be a tomb. Countless experts died inside, and it was said that no one had actually entered the deepest part of the Thousand Monster Mountain.


    Di Chen laughed in an indifferent manner: "Girl, your big brother Di Chen is a person who is afraid of death. Do you think I would take my life as a joke?"


    Shang Yu giggled: "You''re right, you have always been careful when doing things, you will definitely have the confidence to enter the Thousand Monster Mountain, but I won''t accompany you there, Sister Su''er can''t go as well."


    On one hand, she was worried that Qin Suer would be in danger if she went in, and on the other hand, she didn''t really want Qin Suer to be alone with her.


    Di Chen pretended to be angry: Your fiance is going to take a risk, but you aren''t accompanying him. You don''t care about your fiance at all, I have treated you well for free in the past.


    Shang Yu held onto Di Chen''s arm, and kissed him on the cheek like a chick pecking rice. She laughed: "How could I bear for you to die, I also have my reasons."


    Lin Tao snappily said, "I say, are the two of you done yet? You two are always showing love in front of me and Su''er, and you guys aren''t getting hit by lightning either."


    Lin Tao and Qin Suer were also not outsiders, so Shang Yu and Di Chen were never afraid.


    Qin Suer only chuckled, but it was obvious that her smile contained a bit of force.


    From her experience, she knew that Shang Yu should be very powerful. However, Di Chen had never seen Shang Yu fight before.


    Shang Yu laughed: "Big Brother Di Chen, don''t ask me, I won''t harm you, I will definitely tell you in the future."


    Di Chen thought that that was true, Shang Yu definitely had her reasons for hiding it from her, and Di Chen did not want to force her.


    After hesitating for a while, she nodded. Although she was worried about Di Chen, but she would never reject him. On the next day, Di Chen secretly went to find Qin Suer, and the two of them went to Thousand Monster Mountain together.


    The Thousand Monster Mountain was situated 30 kilometers north of the Millennium City, and after half an hour, Di Chen and Qin Suer arrived at the Thousand Monster Mountain.


    Qin Suer laughed and asked: "Di Chen, Little Sister Shang Yu doesn''t want the two of us to be alone, can you bring me here?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Not good, you came again, Shang Yu is just a young child, regardless of her, you are familiar with the mountain herbs, bringing you here can make things difficult for you."


    Although Shang Yu was definitely strong, in reality, Di Chen was more willing to bring Qin Suer on a mission. Even though Qin Suer was very weak, she could refine pills and also cure illnesses.


    Upon entering the Thousand Monster Mountain, the two of them could feel a wave of demonic Qi blowing towards them. These demonic beast had probably already reached level 3 or 4, and at the foot of the mountain, there were level 3 or 4 demonic beast.


    Qin Suer suddenly saw a yellow spirit flower growing not far away. This spirit flower''s petals were crescent in shape, and emitted a captivating fragrance. She immediately ran over excitedly, and carefully dug out a shovel full of flowers and dirt, placing it into her storage bag.


    Di Chen asked curiously: "What''s the use of the crescent moon Immortal Flower?"


    Qin Suer explained while grinning: "This is for concocting pills, there are many pills that require this flower as an auxiliary ingredient, and it''s very difficult to find."


    Di Chen looked around. There were many spirit flowers, such as Ground Grass, which was a rare spirit flower that was found all over the Ling''an City. It was no wonder that the streets and alleys of Millennium City were filled with Ground Grass.


    The two of them went deeper into the cave, but Di Chen did not find anything useful, but Qin Suer''s harvest was plentiful, and he picked a lot of spirit flowers and herbs, which were enough for her to use in alchemy. Actually the reason Di Chen brought Qin Suer along was because she recognized these Spirit Grass s, so as to not miss out on these treasures.


    "Hmm?" Not long after that, Di Chen suddenly sensed a strong wave of Spirit Demon Qi coming from ahead. It was at least a level 4 demonic beast.


    The two of them quietly walked in the direction of the demonic beast. A few minutes later, they saw a ten meter long black wolf and a thirty meter red python in the distance.


    The giant wolf lowered its head and growled in a low voice. The python''s head was high as it stuck out its tongue. It seemed that the two could start fighting at any time.


    Qin Suer pointed to the place between the python and the giant wolf, there was a small red grass there, it only had one leaf and grew there all alone, it was a Single Vein Grass, one of the very rare Spirit Grass s, it can be used for alchemy and medicine, the demonic beast s can consume this kind of Spirit Grass s, it could be used for cultivation and it had a wide range of applications, this one looked like it was not ripe yet, but it could be sold for at least one hundred thousand silvers, this was not a small number, how many cultivation pills could one hundred thousand silvers buy?


    Di Chen laughed: "This Single Vein Grass has a greater value than all the herbs we have gathered before, I will go and pick it."


    Qin Suer blocked Di Chen and said: "Those two are Level 4 demonic beast, one of them is very difficult for you to deal with, how are you going to kill the other two?


    Di Chen shook his head: "The commotion caused by the two demonic beast must be huge, and may attract a lot of people and cause them to have no time to wait. Although the two Level 4 demonic beast are a little difficult, it''s not like there isn''t a chance."


    Although he was strong, he would not hide his Qi like the other warriors, and would easily be exposed.


    Weak body, small strength and slow speed, these were the disadvantages of literati.


    When Di Chen saw them, he immediately stopped and wrote the word "freeze" in the air with a simple finger. An invisible force spread out, and as if everything that passed through seemed to be sealed, and the air seemed to have stopped flowing, and even the leaves no longer fluttered. The bodies of the two demonic beast s also paused and were unable to move for a moment, but their bodies were still trembling as if they could break free at any time.


    Di Chen quickly wrote the word "broken" in the air. While the two demonic beast were still unable to move, the word "broken" floated in front of the two beasts and exploded with a bang.


    Although they were heavily injured, the two demonic beast s did not die. They rushed towards Di Chen at the same time.


    "He''s not dead yet?" Di Chen cursed inwardly. The [Broken] formula had drained all the power of speech from his body earlier, causing his face to turn pale as he clenched his teeth and wrote another two words, "Slash", in midair.


    The two words "cut" were like two blades that shot towards the two demonic beast. With a pfft, they sliced the two demonic beast in two, sending flesh and blood flying everywhere.


    Killing the two Level 4 demonic beast would drain the power of the words in Di Chen''s body.


    "I''m finally dead," Di Chen''s buttocks went limp on the ground. It was just now so dangerous, I had to exhaust all the power of my words to kill the two demonic beast s, at this moment, I''m afraid that any warrior would be able to kill Di Chen.


    Seeing that the demonic beast was killed, Qin Suer stood beside Di Chen, took out a pill and gave it to him: "Di Chen, are you alright?


    Di Chen swallowed the pill, his originally aching body recovered, he panted and said: "I''m afraid that I won''t be able to use force for a short period of time, hurry up and leave this place after harvesting the One Vein Grass."


    Qin Suer nodded her head and immediately went to gather the Single Vein Grass.


    However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the Single Vein Grass and plucked it up before it could. He said excitedly, "It''s actually Single Vein Grass, my luck is really good."


    The person who came was an eighteen or nineteen year old youth, and judging from his elemental energy, he was at least at the fourth level of Life Seizing.


    Qin Suer was startled for a moment, and then said angrily: "This Pill Vein Grass is ours, return it to me."


    "How is this Single Vein Grass growing so well on the ground yours?"


    That person smiled and said, "It was clearly me who picked it up first. How could you not be reasonable?"


    Qin Suer said angrily: "It was us who first discovered this Single Vein Grass, and it was us who killed these two demonic beast just now. This is naturally our Single Vein Grass."


    "You guys killed him?" The man looked at Qin Suer and Di Chen, and mocked: "One of you doesn''t have any spirit energy, while the other is only at the third level of the Warrior. Can you two kill these two Level 4 demonic beast? We must be fighting these two demonic beast to the death, you guys should take the chance to gather this Single Vein Grass. "


    That was right, from the looks of it, Di Chen and Qin Suer did not have the ability to kill two Level 4 demonic beast, this person naturally did not believe it.


    "Yang Yue, why are you talking so much with them. Heavenly materials and unique treasures are things that those who have the ability to obtain, I think it''s better to just kill them. It''s normal for Thousand Monster Mountain to kill people anyway."


    At this moment, another voice sounded from the distance.


    Di Chen looked over. Not far away, there were three people, two males and one female, each of them carrying a large hammer on their left. They were tall and sturdy, dressed in beast skins, and were at least at the fifth stage of Life Seizing.


    The lady on the right was dressed in red, with a gentle smile on his face, giving off a feeling of intimacy, but Di Chen could feel a killing intent from his, he was probably a ruthless person, with a cultivation of at least the seventh stage of Life Seizing, she was Murong Yue.


    In the middle was a young man with delicate features. He was a valiant looking, seemingly weak, but he gave off a sense of fear. His cultivation was at least at the ninth stage of Life Seizing.


    The few of them turned to look at Qin Suer and her, with playful smiles in their eyes.


    Di Chen''s face changed, not to mention that he had exhausted all of his strength, even if he did not, he was afraid that he would not be able to win against them, and this time was dangerous.

 C44

    Yang Yue''s gaze fell on Di Chen, teasing her: "They want me to kill you, do you think I should kill them or not?"


    Qin Suer''s face was full of fear. Di Chen pulled Qin Suer behind him and looked at them vigilantly. If these people wanted to kill him, he did not have any chance to retaliate.


    Ling Fei said disdainfully: "Truly two useless trash, to actually be this scared, even to the point of not daring to speak."


    Murong Yue said with a smile that was like a flower: "One of you two have no spirit energy undulations while the other is only at the third level of the Warrior, coming to this Thousand Monster Mountain with your strength is just seeking death. In my opinion, why not let us help you two?


    She was a woman, and her voice was gentle. She sounded very comfortable, but her words were very vicious, causing people to tremble with fear.


    Di Chen focused and said seriously: "I have no enmity with you, why do you want to kill us."


    Yang Yue laughed: "This is the Martial Region Continent, the strong are revered, the weak have no say, the strong have no reason to kill the weak?"


    The Martial Region Continent was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and the weak had no right to live at all. In front of the strong, they were tools to cultivate, like cannon fodder, touchstone, and not be able to control their own life and death, Di Chen had already seen this clearly from when he was in the Di Family. Even his elder brother Di Long could kill him at any time, but he could not refute Yang Yue''s words.


    Killing people did not look at the laws, only at strength. This was the Martial Region Continent, weakness was the sin.


    Just then, Murong Yue walked in front of Di Chen, the elemental energy in her body fluctuated, and she squinted her eyes as she smiled at Di Chen. As long as she attacked, he could kill Di Chen anytime.


    Di Chen looked at Murong Yue''s beautiful face with shock.


    The surroundings became quiet, the air seemed to have frozen, Di Chen knew that Murong Yue could only kill him in that second.


    Yue''er, "At this time, Yu Xiuyuan broke the silence," Forget it, these two fellows are probably the kind of people who don''t have talent, trying to come to the Thousand Monster Mountain to try their luck, hoping to encounter some kind of opportunity that would soar to the skies.


    Many people who did not have talent would go to dangerous areas to find opportunities, which was normal, so Yu Xiuyuan subconsciously thought that Di Chen and Qin Suer were such people.


    This kind of person was very funny to Yu Xiuyuan!


    Murong Yue smiled at Di Chen, then withdrew her spirit energy and turned to leave without hesitation.


    Di Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. If she had made her move just now, he would definitely have died.


    "However ¡­" Just then, Yu Xiuyuan changed the topic of their conversation, looked at Qin Suer and said: "I presume this woman knows medicine, our team just happens to be lacking such a person, Yang Yue, take her away."


    The Thousand Monster Mountain had a lot of poisonous miasma, and a lot of poisonous animals and plants. If one was not careful, they would be poisoned, and all of these poisonous miasma were fatal, it would be safer to bring a doctor.


    In fact, every team of ten thousand demonic beast would bring along a doctor, but what was most lacking in Martial Region Continent was a doctor. There was a medical academy there with a total of ten thousand people, and there were many outstanding disciples among them.


    With a glance, Yu Xiuyuan could tell that he was a doctor. Furthermore, she knew of the Single Vein Grass, and was probably a person with some knowledge. Yu Xiuyuan naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.


    "Let go of me," Qin Suer became anxious and struggled with all her might, but she could not struggle free from Yang Yue.


    "Let her go," Di Chen angrily rushed over. Although he knew that it was dangerous to attack, he couldn''t just watch as Qin Suer was taken away.


    Yang Yue suddenly turned his head, with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew Di Chen away, and smashed him heavily onto the ground. His bones seemed to have broken, and he laid on the ground, unable to stand up.


    Di Chen was at the first stage of Life Seizing Realm, but his cultivation was different from others. He was using the Demonic beast flesh and blood s to forcefully raise his cultivation level, so Di Chen''s movements were not as nimble as normal warriors, and his body was not as strong as normal people.


    Seeing this, Yang Yue looked down on Di Chen and snorted: "You truly are a useless trash. We have already spared your life just now, but you actually don''t know death, since you want to die, then I will grant your wish."


    "Stop," Qin Suer shouted anxiously, "I''ll go with you guys, don''t kill him."


    "Yang Yue," Yu Xiuyuan immediately stopped him, "Forget it, this kind of person won''t be able to live for long in the Thousand Monster Mountain.


    After Yang Yue heard this, he retracted his spirit energy and snorted: "Consider yourself lucky, there''s actually a doctor protecting you like this. I won''t kill you today, but if I see you again next time, don''t blame me for being ruthless."


    Murong Yue looked at Di Chen and laughed: It seems that this beautiful little sister really likes you, you, a trash like you can actually get the favor of a doctor, I truly did not expect that, I advise you to quickly go down the mountain, maybe you can even preserve your life, there are some people with dull talent that are not suitable for cultivation, do not force yourself, being an ordinary person is also a good thing.


    The few of them did not have the mood to bother with Di Chen anymore, and forcefully brought Qin Suer away.


    Qin Suer was dragged away, but she still turned her head to look at Di Chen with a face full of reluctance. She hoped that Di Chen could save her, but she knew that Di Chen could not, and only hoped that Di Chen could take good care of her.


    This is the first time he had a feeling of helplessness. He said that he wanted to protect Qin Suer, but now, he wants her to sacrifice herself to protect me?


    The weak did not have the right to speak in Martial Region Continent, Di Chen thought.


    "Su''er, I''ll definitely save you." These two Level 4 demonic beast were nothing to them, but to Di Chen, they were good things, enough to increase his cultivation to Life Seizing double stage.


    As Di Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, he grabbed the flesh of the Demonic Wolf and demon python in his hands. The Pearl of Life s in his body started to spin non-stop, and the flesh started to wither at a visible rate, causing Di Chen to absorb the pieces of flesh and blood into his body. Di Chen could feel a surge of boundless energy entering his body, filling every corner of his body, making it easier to absorb.


    One day later.


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen exhaled a long breath, spread out his hands and took a look. His life threatening double stage, had finally broken through another small realm.


    The cultivation of [Lifestealer double stage] was nothing in the Millennium City, there were people younger than him but stronger than him, and even the hawkers on the streets were stronger than him, so this cultivation would be difficult for him to pass the Sky Realm Academy examination.


    "It would be best if I could break through the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm and reach the tenth level of the Scholar before the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment begins. Only then will I be confident."


    Di Chen knew that those people just now were definitely the disciples of the Sky Realm Academy. These guys were very scary, but they were all at the same realm as him, so how could he save Qin Suer when they were all at the same realm as him?


    "Looks like I can only take things one step at a time," Di Chen thought.


    Although his cultivation had achieved a breakthrough, the power of speech in his body was exhausted, Di Chen took out a pen and paper and started to write, writing and reading was Di Chen''s method of cultivation, so Di Chen would bring a book and a brush with him.


    What Di Chen wrote was "fix", the first formula of the written scripture of the heavens!


    Fixing people, settling demons, settling the wind, settling all living things. One would definitely be able to make all living things still, allowing the heaven and earth to return to peace and tranquility.


    The stronger the cultivation, the stronger the power. According to the legends of Tian Shi, the moment one reached the word ''Sage Wen'', the entire Millennium City would be at peace.


    How old is Millennium City? How many powerhouses were there in the Eternal Demon Moon?


    To be able to cause a strong expert like the Millennium City to stand still, one could imagine just how powerful this "fixed" formula was!


    This was the realm that warriors and scholars would appear in when they were focused on cultivation. Everything around them was gone, and this cave only had him, he was writing brazenly, he wrote a word on a piece of paper, and after he finished writing, he threw down the paper and continued writing on the second paper.


    He wrote...


    Time passed, and the sky outside became dark again. It was unknown how much time had passed.


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen let out a long breath of air, and was finally free from the state he was in. He put down the brush and moved his aching body, the power of speech in his body was already full, he realised that his scholar level seemed to have improved, he was still just a step away from breaking through to the tenth level of the scholar realm. But he could not continue cultivating during this period, he turned his head to look around, only to realise that the ground was covered with scattered papers, and words were written on the ground.


    "I''ve written so much?" Di Chen was a little surprised. He had unconsciously written down a few words, but he didn''t even know how many times he had written them.


    Di Chen kept all the paper, the word ''fix'' contained all of his power as a scholar, which meant that in the future, when Di Chen used the ''fix'', he would immediately throw all of these paper out, and did not need to use his force.


    walked out of the cave, and started to kill demonic beast s. Breaking through Life Reaching double stage required two Level 4 demonic beast s, and breaking through Life Reaching triple stage required at least fifty Level 4 demonic beast s. Di Chen''s cultivation seemed to be simple enough, as long as he could absorb the Demonic beast flesh and blood, it would be difficult to kill all fifty of them with Di Chen''s current cultivation.


    "Hmm? "Two demonic snakes?" Di Chen quickly found a demonic beast, this was also a level four demonic beast, but it was not strong enough. Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "Set" written on it, and with the toss of the paper, a wave of power exploded out from the paper, locking the two demonic snakes in place.

 C45

    Di Chen took a stride forward, his fist smashing on its body, immediately turning it into a pile of flesh and blood, grabbing it and absorbing it, he kept the beast core for the time being.


    hunted demonic beast s every single day for a period of time. He had written a lot of instructions, and the speed at which he killed demonic beast was extremely fast. Level 4 demonic beast s were basically all killed instantly, and in just five days, he killed fifty Level 4 demonic beast.


    Di Chen felt the change in his cultivation, his face was full of excitement. This Pearl of Life was truly a good item, seizing life, transforming into his own cultivation.


    Di Chen made a rough estimate that to break through to the fourth stage of Life Seizing Realm, he would need to rely on Level 5 Demonic beast flesh and blood, which meant that he would need at least ten of them. He had just broken through from the triple stage, so killing Level 5 demonic beast wouldn''t be an easy task.


    "Help ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Somewhere in the Thousand Monster Mountain, Di Chen suddenly heard a Girl''s cry for help.


    Di Chen immediately looked towards the direction the sound came from and quickly saw a petite girl about sixteen to seventeen years old in the distance. She held a short sword in her hand and her body was covered with injuries, probably at the fourth stage of Life Seizing.


    At this moment, she was forced to a corner by a demonic beast. The demonic beast was around ten feet tall and looked like a mosquito, which was a common mosquito beast in Thousand Monster Mountain. It sucked blood to make a living, and was usually around level 5.


    The Cracked Insect Beast''s sharp, needle-like beak pecked at the girl. If she was stabbed, she would definitely die.


    The young girl screamed as she hugged her head in fear, not daring to even look at her.


    "Not good," Di Chen of course, couldn''t possibly not save her. He immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "fixed" on it and threw it out.


    The mosquito beast stopped in front of the young lady, but they could still see the mosquito beast struggling. It looked like it would not be for long, since Di Chen was only at the ninth level of the Scholar realm, it would be difficult for him to stay stuck at the fourth level of the demonic beast.


    Di Chen took the chance and rushed in front of the Cracked Beast, and smashed his fist onto it.


    Right at that moment, the mosquito beast suddenly moved, and thrusted its beak towards Di Chen.


    Puff!


    Di Chen''s punch broke the mosquito''s beak, but because the mosquito beast reacted in time, his fist did not heavily injure it, causing Di Chen to retreat a few steps.


    "This won''t do. To stop a level five demonic beast from breaking through to the first level of the Scholar Realm would be best."


    It would give Di Chen more time to kill. If he were to break through the Scholar''s triple stage, no matter how strong the level five demonic beast were, they would still be frozen, and they would not be able to struggle free at all. Unfortunately, he was only at the ninth stage.


    The mosquito beast did not expect that a stranger would suddenly appear and disturb him, and it immediately pounced towards Di Chen in anger.


    Di Chen used his fist to parry it, but it was useless to fight the mosquito beast head on. He could not defeat the mosquito beast with just his cultivation, but the mosquito beast could not kill Di Chen either.


    The girl was originally waiting to die, but there was nothing strange going on. Soon, she heard the sound of fighting, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a young man before her. He was fighting with the mosquito beast, but that young man was clearly not a match for it.


    "Let me help you," the girl said, seeing that someone was helping her. She took out her dagger and slashed at the mosquito beast. The two of them worked together, but the mosquito beast was defeated and killed by them.


    "That was close," Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that without the help of a scholar, he would not be able to fight those two small battles.


    Honestly speaking, purely in terms of strength, Di Chen was not strong, but because he had the ability to speak, Di Chen''s strength had increased by at least ten times.


    How many people in Martial Region Continent knew how to dual cultivate martial arts and martial arts?


    The young lady then looked at Di Chen and said: "Thank you. If it wasn''t for you, I would have been killed by this mosquito beast a long time ago."


    Di Chen laughed: "You''re welcome, I forced myself to do it, I didn''t really help much just now."


    The young lady did not seem to be wary of Di Chen at all, and asked: "I am called Cao Yuer, and you, where are you from?"


    Di Chen did not hide anything: "My name is Di Chen, I come from a remote town, you probably have not heard of me coming here to take the Sky Realm Academy examination, I heard that there are some strange treasures that have appeared in the Eternal Mountain recently, so I came to try my luck."


    There was still half a month until the assessment. In fact, many people would come to the Ten Thousand demonic beast in an attempt to breakthrough to the next stage, so if they were to obtain some fortuitous opportunity, they would be able to enter the Sky Realm Academy.


    Cao Yuer was not surprised, and laughed: "It was originally like that. My sister and brother are from the Sky Realm Academy, I heard them mention the strength of the previous examinees, and I have a rough understanding of it, you can definitely enter the Sky Realm Academy."


    Di Chen laughed: "Thank you for your auspicious words."


    Cao Yu looked up and down at Di Chen curiously, "Di Chen, there''s not a single trace of elemental energy in your body, why are you so powerful?"


    Di Chen did not want to reveal his identity as a scholar, so he casually explained: "The cultivation technique I cultivate is a little special, I can hide my own spirit energy."


    Perhaps there was someone who could hide their own spirit energy. Although it was a little unimaginable, it wasn''t impossible, so Cao Yuer did not suspect it, and furthermore, it was a person''s secret, and the reason why Cao Yuer asked her was because she was like a small Girl who had not grown up yet. She was careless and did not know the seriousness of the situation, but she did not have any ill intentions.


    Cao Yuer was silent for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "Di Chen, can you do me a favor?"


    "Speak," Di Chen did not refuse.


    Cao Yuer said in a low voice: "I was injured just now and I need to refine some medicinal pellets to recover my spirit energy and injuries. Can you protect me?"


    Coming to Thousand Monster Mountain to cultivate for nothing, to not know anyone, Cao Yuer felt a little embarrassed asking for this.


    There wasn''t much time left until the assessment, so Di Chen needed to hurry up and cultivate, and also needed to save Qin Suer as soon as possible. Indeed, he didn''t want to waste time, but he still didn''t refuse and nodded.


    Cao Yuer thanked Di Chen excitedly. In fact, it was very dangerous to find a stranger to protect his, but currently, Cao Yuer couldn''t find anyone to help her. It was very dangerous for Cao Yuer to stay in the Thousand Monster Mountain without recovering his elemental energy, and furthermore, she believed in Di Chen.


    Di Chen guarded the cave''s vicinity, and was not idle either. He took out the demonic beast s that he had killed previously and started to cultivate. He needed to break through the fourth stage as soon as possible, so that he could have the chance to save Qin Suer.


    He had cultivated for an unknown amount of time!


    Suddenly!


    A wave of killing intent struck towards Di Chen, and when Di Chen opened his eyes, he saw a man punching towards him.


    "He''s already at the fourth level of Life Seizing?" Di Chen never thought that he would actually meet him here, and this guy seemed to have raised his cultivation by another small realm.


    Bang!


    Cao Fei''s strength was a little stronger than before, but now that Di Chen had broken through the life reaping triple stage, consecutively rising two small realms, his strength was even stronger than Cao Fei''s.


    Di Chen was pushed back three steps, while he was immediately blown away. His arms trembled intensely, and he was unable to exert any strength for a short period of time.


    "You broke through to the life seizing triple stage, how are you so fast?" Cao Fei''s face was filled with surprise. Previously, when he was fighting with Di Chen, he was at the Second Stage of Life Seizing. In just a few short days, Cao Fei was able to break through a small realm.


    Cultivation was harder than ascending to heaven, a small realm of Lifestealer Realm required several months or even a year, but the opponent only needed a few days?


    Di Chen did not answer him and instead said with slight anger: "I have already spared your life, why are you still pestering me?"


    Cao Fei clenched his teeth and said: "You, Monk Yu, tricked me for a thousand silver. I will never forget this humiliation."


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "It''s only a little more than a thousand liang, I''ll return it to you when I get back this time, don''t bother me anymore, I don''t have any more time to waste with you, leave quickly, don''t blame me for being rude, you''re not my opponent."


    "I''d like to know why you''re being so rude." Just then, a lady suddenly floated down, this woman had long hair, was dressed in a red silk robe, holding a jade flute, her expression was slightly cold, her cultivation was at least at the ninth stage, she was Cao Fei''s big sister, Cao Rouer.


    When Di Chen saw this person, his expression changed. Another one at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, if such a person were to kill him, he would definitely die.


    Cao Fei anxiously walked over and shouted: "Big sister, this is the guy that deceived me earlier and injured me."


    Earlier, Cao Fei had told Cao Rouer about this matter. Although Cao Rouer was a little angry that Cao Fei did not work hard enough, Cao Fei was still her little brother after all.


    Cao Rouer sized Di Chen up for a while and then said coldly: "So you are Shang Yu''s fianc¨¦, without any Origin Energy in your body, but with the cultivation of Life Seizing triple stage, and the ability to fight in a cross-border battle, you are indeed a strange fellow, but you are not my opponent, and I thought you said that you would not hold back against Cao Fei, take out all of your ability, I would like to see how rude you are."


    How could Di Chen dare to fight with her? He glanced at the cave behind him and cursed in his heart. If he had run earlier, but Cao Yuer was still in the cave, he could not abandon Cao Yuer right?


    "Hmm?" Cao Rouer noticed Di Chen''s expression and looked at the cave: "What, is there anyone else in the cave? Could it be Shang Yu?"


    As she spoke, she immediately walked towards the cave.


    Di Chen quickly blocked in front of Cao Rouer and said seriously: "I said before that I will return your money to you.


    "Do you think I care about that?"


    Cao Rouer laughed coldly: "Looks like the people inside are very important to you. It must be Shang Yu, to think that this Shang Yu would dare to mess with the feelings of my Cao family. She deserves to die, get out of my way."


    Di Chen stared at Cao Rouer without speaking, and did not move aside.

    "You''re courting death," Cao Rouer was even more sure of her own thoughts, as she punched towards Di Chen. Her fist was very gentle, but it gave off a kind of enormous pressure, causing even the air to explode.


    Di Chen knew that he wouldn''t be able to withstand a punch from someone at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, but he couldn''t allow Cao Rouer to enter.


    Bang!


    The two fists collided, sending Di Chen flying out, smashing heavily onto the ground. One of his arms was smashed into pieces, blood spurting out all over the ground, causing him to turn pale from the pain.


    Cao Fei scoffed, "You really don''t know your limits, to actually dare to take one hit from my sister. I didn''t expect you to like Shang Yu this much."


    Everyone knew that the last strike was fatal. Di Chen knew clearly that it was dangerous, but he still chose to fight recklessly.


    Cao Rouer did not take advantage of''s victory to give chase, but instead walked towards the cave. She hated Shang Yu, not Di Chen, but rather, she hated him the most.


    Di Chen once again stood in front of Cao Rouer, staring coldly at her, and did not plan to let her take another step closer.


    "Since you wish to seek death, I shall grant you that wish." Cao Rouer never thought that Di Chen would once again rush towards his and punch towards Di Chen.


    The wind blew over, Di Chen was afraid that he was dead this time, but he did not dodge.


    "Elder sister, what are you doing?" But at that moment, Cao Yuer suddenly rushed out and extended both of her arms in front of him.


    "Yu''er?" Cao Rouer suddenly saw Cao Yuer rushing out from inside, she subconsciously retracted her spirit force and asked: "Yu''er, why are you inside?"


    Cao Yuer said angrily: "I was almost killed by a mosquito just now, it was Di Chen who saved me, I was refining pills in the cave, Di Chen was protecting me, Sis, what enmity do you have with Di Chen, why did you want to kill him?"


    "He saved you?" Cao Rouer and Cao Fei were both surprised. They thought that Di Chen was risking his life to protect Shang Yu, but he was actually protecting Cao Yuer inside?


    If she had barged in and disturbed Cao Yuer''s cultivation, the consequences would be unimaginable. Cao Rouer was still somewhat afraid, but fortunately, she was stopped by Di Chen.


    Di Chen was also startled. He honestly did not think that Cao Yuer was Cao Fei''s sister, which was why he thought that these two guys were surnamed Cao. He should have thought of it long ago.


    Cao Yuer also couldn''t be bothered to care about them, and asked while looking at Di Chen: "How are you?"


    Di Chen held onto his severed arm, but it still could not stop the fountain of fresh blood. His face was already somewhat pale, and due to the excessive loss of blood, his consciousness was a little blurry, and he fainted before he could even speak, falling into Cao Yuer''s arms.


    Cao Yuer hugged Di Chen''s body, and grumbled at Cao Rouer: "Elder sister, you''re really too, how could you injure him so severely."


    Cao Rouer said: "Previously, it was him, Shang Yu, who tricked Cao Fei for a thousand silver. I have to take revenge for that."


    Cao Yuer also knew about this matter, but he did not think that the person who Cao Fei spoke of was that person. In the beginning, he did help Cao Fei report his injustice, and if Di Chen did not save her, she would have killed him instead. But the situation was different now, she felt that Di Chen was a good person, and she changed her attitude, "Isn''t it just a thousand taels, how big of a deal is it?


    Cao Fei snorted: "I wish I was dead."


    Cao Yuer said angrily: "Second brother, I know what you mean. I just thought that after he dies, you will have the chance to woo Shang Yu. You have been courting her for so long already, but she has really looked at you, don''t even think about eating swan meat anymore."


    "I ¡­" Cao Fei originally wanted to refute her, but he had nothing to say. He knew that Shang Yu would not like him, but he still held hope.


    Cao Yuer saw that Di Chen''s breathing seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and said anxiously: "Elder sister, take out your Nine Jade Flower Pill."


    "What?" Cao Fei did not expect Cao Yuer to say this and immediately stopped him: "These Nine Jade Flower Pills can regenerate flesh and blood, but they are life-saving items. One is worth a million silver coins each, and elder sister only has three pills.


    In fact, there were a lot of pills that could regenerate flesh in Millennium City, but they were very expensive, just like how Qin Suer previously bought the cheapest One Breath Life Bone Pill for Lin Tao, which was very slow, and the Nine Jade Flower Pill, which was very rare in Millennium City, and was also very valuable. It was very dangerous for cultivation, and Cao Rouer and the others would be in danger of death at any moment, so these Nine Jade Flower Pills were very important, but now, Cao Yuer actually wanted to give them to someone else?


    Earlier, Cao Fei fought with his life on the line against Di Chen for a thousand silver, and now he was going to give him a pill that was worth a million silver?


    Not to mention, even if Cao Fei did not agree to it, Cao Rouer would still object.


    Cao Yuer said anxiously: "Elder sister, he saved my life. If he died, then ¡­ "Then ¡­"


    The more Cao Yuer said, the more anxious she became. She didn''t think of any threats she could make and said, "Then I won''t live anymore either."


    "Yu''er," Cao Rouer didn''t care whether these words were a joke or not, and said angrily: "He is not related to you in any way, and even though I have saved your life, how can you die for him? I can save his life, but if you say these words again, I will punish you by punishing you for not leaving the house for three years."


    Cao Yuer had nothing to say. She knew that Cao Rouer had kept her word, so how could someone like her, who had been toyed with, be willing to not come out of the house for three years?


    Cao Rouer saw that Cao Yuer seemed to have accepted her reprimand, and then, she took out a Nine Jade Flower Pill and stuffed it into Di Chen''s mouth.


    As the pill dissolved in his mouth, a terrifying medicinal force fused into Di Chen''s body, causing new bones and flesh to grow out of his arm at a visible rate, and soon to be completely fine. However, Di Chen still did not wake up, and it was also because of the excessive loss of blood.


    "He''s fine now, leave him in the cave. Let''s go, I''ll let him go this time."


    After all, Di Chen had saved Cao Yuer''s life before.


    But Cao Yuer did not leave and said: "He is unconscious right now, I cannot leave him alone, I have to wait for him to wake up first."


    Cao Rouer said angrily: Yu''er, why are you so stubborn, even if Thousand Monster Mountain''s treasure were to appear, do you want to miss it, the Sky Realm Academy''s examination is going to start soon, but with your current cultivation, it will be difficult for you to enter Sky Realm Academy, this is your best chance, if you miss this chance, it will take a long time before you can raise your cultivation.


    Many people had already entered the depths of the Thousand Monster Mountain to snatch that item. Since there were too many strong warriors this time, the first to go would naturally have the upper hand. However, Cao Yuer spending time to take care of a stranger made her angry.


    Cao Yuer said anxiously: "Elder sister, this kind of Heavenly material is something that fate has, even if we snatch it away, it might not necessarily be subdued by me. I want to wait for Di Chen to wake up, even if you punish me to face the wall for three years, I will still stay behind."


    "You ¡­" Cao Rouer was so angry that she wanted to scold him, but she could tell that Cao Yuer insisted on doing it this time, she thought for a bit, then changed her tone: "Alright, we''ll wait for him to wake up, then you have to listen to me obediently, or I''ll kill him first."


    Cao Yuer immediately giggled when she heard this. "I knew Sister doted on me the most."


    Cao Rouer glanced at Cao Yuer snappily. She couldn''t do anything about this little sister of her, since they all loved this little sister more.


    Cao Yuer supported Di Chen into the cave and found some grass to help him rest, while she sat on the side to cultivate.


    However, Cao Rouer was still a little interested in Di Chen. She did not feel any fluctuation of spirit energy from Di Chen''s body, but earlier, Di Chen had been able to receive a punch from her.


    One day later, Di Chen finally woke up. He propped himself up on the ground and patted his dizzy head, only after a while did he come back to his senses, he looked around and saw a gloomy cave, where Cao Yuer sat in front of him and smiled at him. Cao Fei and Cao Rouer were standing not too far away from him with unfriendly faces, it looked like if it was not Cao Yuer, they would have already started killing people.


    Cao Yuer helped Di Chen to sit properly: "Di Chen, you''re finally awake."


    Di Chen rubbed his glabella and asked, "How long have I been unconscious for?"


    Cao Yuer chuckled: "Not long, it''s only been a day."


    A day''s time might not be long for others, but Di Chen could not afford to waste it. He had to fight for every second, otherwise how would he take the Sky Realm Academy examination, and how would he save Qin Suer?


    "Huh?" Di Chen suddenly realized that his arm was unharmed, and said in shock: "My arm recovered?"


    "Yes," Cao Yuer said. "I beg Big Sister to give you a Nine Jade Flower Pill to rebirth your arm."


    Di Chen knew about this Nine Jade Flower Pills. He had seen it before in the Universe Pavilion, cost a million silvers per pellet, but he never expected that they would actually use this kind of pellet to save him.


    A million!


    This money could at least help Di Chen to break through his lifesaving six stages.


    "Yu''er," Cao Rouer suddenly said, "Since he''s alright now, you can come with us."


    Cao Yuer did not immediately agree to Cao Rouer''s request. Instead, she looked at him and said, "Di Chen, it''s dangerous for you to be alone in Thousand Monster Mountain. Why don''t you come with us?


    "No," Cao Fei immediately objected, "This Thousand Monster Mountain is very dangerous, why would we bring an outsider along with us?"


    Cao Fei couldn''t wait for Di Chen to die, so how could he be willing to act together with him?


    Cao Yuer is stronger than the both of us, so how would he possibly implicate us? Furthermore, Di Chen''s cultivation technique is unique, so she can still help us on the way here. "


    "I don''t agree." The reason why Cao Fei didn''t agree to it was because Di Chen and Shang Yu''s relationship was too intimate. He liked Shang Yu, and couldn''t bear the fact that Di Chen was betrothed to his since a young age.


    Cao Yuer snorted: "I don''t care if you agree or not, since I will act with Di Chen, if you do not agree, then I will not go with you."


    "Yu''er ¡­" Cao Fei was so angry that he wanted to curse at him. This Cao Yuer had no personality at all, he actually believed in an outsider and did not trust his own people?

 C47

    This Thousand Monster Mountain was very dangerous, Cao Rouer could still protect Cao Yuer, but now, Cao Yuer was threatening to bring Di Chen along, if not she would not be together with them, and not only was Di Chen a stranger, was it not worth trusting, even if he was worth trusting, with Di Chen''s cultivation, could he possibly protect Cao Yuer, and would he be able to help his obtain the Heavenly Treasure that was about to appear?


    Usually, Cao Yuer was very afraid of Cao Rouer, but she was actually very stubborn today. It seemed that she would not let Di Chen go if she did not bring him along.


    Then, he looked at Di Chen and said: "If you drag us down or if you bring us any trouble, I''ll definitely kill you."


    "I ¡­" Di Chen disliked people who threatened him the most. He originally wanted to refuse going with them, but the moment he moved, his body would feel excruciating pain. Why would his body move alone?


    Cao Fei was the most angry, and he glared at Di Chen. This fellow had beaten him up earlier, but now he was even going with him?


    But Cao Fei really couldn''t do anything!


    Cao Yuer laughed excitedly, then supported Di Chen and left the cave.


    Everyone advanced along the way because of Di Chen''s slow speed, which made Cao Fei''s teeth itch even more. Along the way, they met a lot of demonic beast, which were not high levelled, and were basically all killed in one hit by Cao Rouer, which were very common demonic beast, but actually not worth a lot of money. Cao Rouer was too lazy to take them away, but these demonic beast were great things to Di Chen, because absorbing their flesh would allow his cultivation to increase, so Di Chen did not waste any of it and kept the demon corpses.


    At first, Cao Fei was allowed to "take advantage", but he quickly gave up. Even if it wasn''t worth much, it wasn''t cheap either.


    It couldn''t be helped, these demonic beast were all killed by Cao Rouer, of course Di Chen would be embarrassed to snatch them away from him, he could only watch as Cao Fei kept them, Cao Yuer scolded him angrily for being stingy, but Cao Fei ignored him, no matter what, he could not let his "love rival" take advantage of him. Furthermore, although the level of the demonic beast in front was low, there were still quite a few level 5 or 6 demonic beast behind him, and even some level 7 and 8 demonic beast, which could be sold for a lot of money.


    Among them, there were many Level 5 demonic beast and three Level 6 demonic beast. These Demonic beast flesh and blood were more than enough for him to cultivate to the Fifth Stage of Life Seizing Stage. It was just that he could not absorb the Demonic beast flesh and blood in front of them, and had to find a place to cultivate in peace.


    Three days later.


    Some had been poisoned to death, some had been bitten to death by demonic beast, and most of them had been killed by humans. Thinking about it, they had just gone through a huge battle, and some of their blood were still flowing from their bodies. It seemed that not long after dying, Cao Rouer had noticed that some of them were members of the Sky Realm Academy, and that these people were also strong members of the Sky Realm Academy. They were ranked very high on the Destiny Decree, but now that they had fallen here, it could be imagined how dangerous it was.


    "The appearance of the body here means that we are not far from our destination."


    Cao Rouer said with a grave expression on her face, "Yu''er, Cao Fei, the two of you be careful, even I don''t have the ability to protect myself in this place."


    Cao Fei said seriously: "Sis, don''t worry, we will be careful."


    Cao Yuer changed from her usual mischievous look: "Sis, you don''t have to worry about us, we can take good care of ourselves."


    Di Chen was also on his guard. Although he was not as sensitive as Cao Rouer, he could vaguely sense that there was a terrifying pressure in the surroundings.


    This miasma was so poisonous that even Cao Rouer would be poisoned to death by it. From the sound of the roars, it could be determined that it was at least a level 9 demonic beast, and there were more and more corpses on the ground. There were even warriors at the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Realm.


    Four hours later, Cao Rouer and the rest arrived at the Thousand Monster Mountain.


    In front of him was a dilapidated three-storey building with the words "Immortal Wind" written on the signboard. Judging from the wood of the building, it should have been built quite a long time ago.


    "Hmm?" Cao Rouer''s brows twitched, and said after a moment of silence: "Could it be that this is the ruin of the Eternal Gate?"


    "Eternal Gate?" Di Chen was a little doubtful. It had been a while since he came to Millennium City, and this was the first time he heard that there was a Eternal Gate here.


    Seeing that Di Chen did not know, Cao Fei said disdainfully, "You really don''t know anything, to the point where you don''t even know Eternal Gate."


    Cao Yuer explained: This Eternal Gate is one of the ten great sects of the Primordial Era, it is said to be situated in this Thousand Ancient Mountain, it covers an extremely wide area, the disciples in the sect are numerous, and the experts are as numerous as the clouds, and after that, the entire sect and its disciples perished in one night and one night, and the Sect Leader also disappeared, and this Ten Thousand Ancient Mountain also changed the earth''s crust and completely submerged the Eternal Gate within the ground, which allowed it to become one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Mountain after hundreds of thousands of thousands of years.


    It was said that in the ancient times, heaven and earth medicines could be found everywhere. The demonic beast s were numerous and strong, making them very suitable for cultivation, but after the world changed, the strong demonic beast s were no longer suitable for living in this world. The rare spirit flowers and herbs were almost extinct, and it was becoming harder and harder for warriors to cultivate.


    In the past, there were many War God s in the Martial Region Continent, and Martial Saint and Martial Saint s could be seen everywhere. But now, let alone War God s, even Martial Saint and Martial Saint s could be counted on one''s fingers, and warriors were finding it more and more difficult to cultivate.


    The Eternal Gate was one of the top ten ancient sects. Naturally, such a sect would leave behind a lot of good things, and any one of them could increase the power of a person by several fold.


    "No wonder it attracted so many people to explore."


    Di Chen could not help but be interested, and said: "Let''s go in and take a look?"


    Cao Fei snorted: "Look at the corpses around here, it seems like someone has already been here before, do you think that we can get anything good after entering?"


    Di Chen did not think much of it: "All spirit treasures are obtained by fated people, who knows, maybe those people do not have the chance?"


    This was the truth, just like how Di Chen being able to learn the Sky Text Scripture was fate, no one could be sure of who the God of Fate would favor, it wasn''t wrong to give it a try.


    Cao Rouer thought for a while, then said: "Let''s go in and take a look, the few of you follow me."


    Di Chen took out a small bottle and poured out a few pills from it. All of these pills had changed their quality, after all, they were too old, and had been exposed to the air for too long, so even if they were immortal pills, they would probably lose all their medicinal energy, and even if there were any, they would probably have been taken away by someone else.


    "I guess this was a place to store medicinal pills. What a pity."


    These pills were incredibly rare, and some of them were already impossible to concoct. However, these pills had become useless or even poisonous. It was truly a pity.


    Di Chen thought for a while before he kept the pills.


    Cao Yuer said in a strange tone: "Di Chen, you cannot eat these pills.


    Di Chen laughed: "I know, I have a friend who is a doctor. I want to let her see, maybe I can research the ingredients of these pills and refine them anew."


    Cao Fei taunted: The quality of the pills have changed a long time ago, I am unable to determine what the ingredients are unless he is a doctor who became a saint, but there is no such person in Martial Region Continent, do you think that the pills will stay if they are useful?


    Di Chen thought that was true, but he still kept it in, at least he had to show it to Qin Suer, what if she could figure it out?


    "Hmm?" At this time, Cao Yuer''s gaze suddenly became serious, coldly looking out of the pavilion.


    He was called Huang Ting and was also a disciple of the Sky Realm Academy. His cultivation was also at the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and beside him was a youth of fourteen or fifteen years old, who had an arrogant look on his face. Even though he looked young, he was also a strong warrior at the fifth stage of Life Seizing, and his name was Huang Zhan, who was also Huang Ting''s younger brother.


    Beside Huang Zhan, there was a young lady with short hair who was the same age as him. Her name was Li Xin, but her cultivation was at the fourth stage of Life Seizing, and beside Li Xin, there was a young girl with long hair who was slightly older than her. Her name was Liu Jingjing, and her cultivation was at the eighth stage of Life Seizing, just one step away from the ninth stage.


    The two sides were both alert and hostile when they met each other, as if they would attack at any moment.


    "It''s you guys," Cao Rouer said as she saw the newcomer.


    Huang Ting laughed: "So it''s Lady Cao Rouer, what a coincidence, I didn''t expect to meet you here. What, Miss Rou''er can''t be thinking of fighting with me here, right?"


    Cao Rouer sneered: "Could it be that I''m afraid of you?"


    Huang Ting laughed: "Miss Rou''er will naturally not be afraid of me, but you have seen the corpses outside. This place is very dangerous, if the two of us were to fight here, and both of us would suffer losses, the others would only be able to benefit."


    That was the truth. Although the two did not like the other''s looks, they did not have a deep grudge after all. There was nothing worth fighting over here, so there was no need for them to fight to the death.


    Cao Rouer did not speak anymore, and continued to rummage through the shelves.


    Huang Ting looked carefully at the cultivation bases of Cao Rouer and the rest, the opponent''s cultivation was weaker than his, he did not put in his eyes, but he did not have any plans to fight Cao Rouer, and brought everyone here to search, if they could find anything useful, it would be beneficial for their cultivation, but that would depend on who had the faster hand.

 C48

    "Big brother, you and this Cao Rouer have always been at odds, but right now our overall strength is stronger than theirs, but this is our chance, are we going to miss it like this?"


    Huang Zhan stared at Cao Rouer and the others, his eyes revealed killing intent. He was different from Huang Ting, he would not care about the big picture, and would only follow his own preferences.


    Li Xin and Huang Zhan are close friends with each other, so they would unconditionally support him in everything. "Your strength is about the same as Cao Rouer''s, and that Cao Fei and Cao Yuer are both at the fourth stage of Life Seizing Stage, so their strength is also about the same as mine, so Big Brother Huang Zhan is much stronger than them. In addition, we''re still Big Sister Liu Jingjing, so killing them is as easy as pie.


    Although Li Xin was relatively young, and seemed to be a lively and cute girl, she was extremely vicious with her words and actions, easily killing people.


    Liu Jingjing nodded her head and laughed: "There''s still one more person over there."


    Huang Zhan followed Liu Jingjing''s gaze and looked over, and said with a frown: "This guy is interesting, she actually does not have a single bit of spirit energy in her body, I don''t think she is a warrior, why would this Cao Rouer bring such a person?"


    Li Xin thought about it and analyzed, "Perhaps he has some sort of special ability or friend, people who don''t have any Origin Energy wouldn''t need to worry about him."


    A warrior''s spirit energy was very hard to hide, as long as one learnt martial arts, they would have spirit energy inside their body, and people who learn martial arts would be able to see it with a glance, so Li Xin and the rest would not believe that Di Chen was hiding his cultivation. There was no such person in Martial Region Continent.


    Huang Ting was also somewhat curious, he stared at Di Chen for a while. Di Chen''s body was a bit weaker, his face was pale white, he had obviously been injured, but he did not notice anything special about Di Chen, but Cao Rouer always had a reason, he did not think too much, and when he looked at Cao Rouer again, he was moved, all the spirit force in his body started to fluctuate, but in the end, he still shook his head.


    "Forget it, Huang Zhan, Li Xin. In a few days, the two of you will be taking the Sky Realm Academy examination.


    Huang Ting still did not have the intention to kill Cao Rouer, and said: "You guys better look around carefully for any pills left behind, don''t let them get there first."


    When Huang Zhan and Li Xin heard this, they gave up on the thought of killing each other. They thought that after joining the Sky Realm Academy, they would have a chance to kill the two of them, so they were not in a rush.


    Cao Yuer saw that they were leaving and said angrily, "These fellows actually want to kill us when we''re weaker than them."


    Although the few of them spoke softly, their hostility was so strong that everyone could tell that they were planning to make a move.


    Cao Fei shot a glance at Di Chen and snorted, "They must have wanted to attack him because they saw that he didn''t have any Origin Energy in his body. I knew he was a burden, and sure enough, he almost dragged us into it."


    Di Chen was speechless, the ones they wanted to kill were you guys, without me and the rest, how could they blame me?


    Cao Yuer said angrily: "Second Brother, why do you always blame Di Chen? Isn''t it just that Shang Yu doesn''t like you, that''s why you bear grudges against Di Chen?"


    She was a little angry that Cao Fei had always been against Di Chen, and angrily pulled Di Chen towards the second floor: "Di Chen, don''t worry about him, let''s go look for him on the second floor."


    Cao Fei who was being said to have the point did not argue, this was his idea.


    Cao Rouer looked at Cao Yuer''s back and frowned. She originally thought that Cao Yuer was grateful to her because she had saved her life, but now it seems that it was not so simple. She seemed to have a good impression of Di Chen.


    Arriving at the second floor, he saw that Huang Ting and the others were looking for something, and their gazes all landed on Di Chen and Cao Yuer at the same time, revealing a playful smile. Di Chen was too lazy to bother with them, he looked around and saw that the second floor was similar to the first floor, the floor was already in a mess.


    "Yu''er, go look elsewhere. I''ll keep these pills first." Di Chen said.


    Cao Yuer thought that if there were any other useful pills, she couldn''t possibly let Huang Ting and the others get lucky. Hence, she didn''t go along with Di Chen to pick up the trash pills, but instead started looking around.


    Di Chen squatted on the ground and stored the abandoned pills, thinking that Qin Suer would definitely agree to do this if she saw these pills, but this behavior was kind of funny in Huang Zhan''s eyes, how come this guy looked like a country bumpkin who had no experience, wanting to see everything else.


    Di Chen did not care about what others thought as he picked up the pills one by one.


    Just then, footsteps came close to Di Chen. Just as he was about to pick up a pill, a foot suddenly appeared in front of him and stepped on it, shattering the pill.


    Di Chen''s actions paused, he raised his head and looked calmly at the person who came over, and saw that it was Huang Zhan, who was smiling at him playfully, Di Chen did not say anything, and lowered his head to pick up the other pill, and at this time, Huang Zhan stepped over again, and shattered the pill into pieces.


    Di Chen''s eyes revealed killing intent, this Huang Zhan was at the fifth stage of Life Stealing, while Di Chen was at the Life Seizing triple stage, but Di Chen''s cultivation level was too low, it was useless against someone at the fifth stage of Life Seizing. If they were to fight, might not be his match, so instead, he calmly walked away to pick up pills from other places, while Huang Zhan followed behind Di Chen.


    Di Chen said with slight anger: "There might still be medicinal pellets in this place to consume, yet you are disturbing me when you aren''t looking for the medicinal pellets, do you think it''s interesting?"


    Huang Zhan laughed: "I was just looking for pills, it''s just that I accidentally stepped on the pill you were looking for."


    Di Chen asked coldly: "Are you not careful even if you follow me the entire way?"


    Huang Zhan disagreed: "This Immortal Wind Pavilion is not yours, do you want to restrict my freedom?"


    Since he could not explain the situation to him, Di Chen was too lazy to bother with him and turned to leave.


    Huang Zhan took a step in front of Di Chen, and snorted: "I''m walking my path properly, yet you criticize me for no reason.


    I''m looking for trouble?


    You kept following behind me and crushing my pills, and you say I''m looking for trouble?


    How could Di Chen not understand that Huang Zhan was looking for trouble, and causing a fight to break out between the two of them? With his hands behind his back, he held onto a piece of paper with the word "Instant" written on it, and stared at Huang Zhan without saying a word, he already had the idea to make a move.


    As Huang Zhan watched Di Chen playfully smile, the elemental energy in his body also fluctuated. He was waiting for Di Chen to make the first move, and then, kill him in one move.


    How could he not know that Huang Zhan was trying to anger Di Chen intentionally, as once Di Chen attacked first he would kill him, it would never cause a fight between the two of them, but Huang Ting had already said that he would not fight with Cao Rouer, and fighting against both of them would not benefit them, but Huang Zhan did not listen to him, and impulsively went to do such a foolish thing, how could he not be angry?


    Huang Zhan seemed to be slightly unwilling, but he saw that Huang Ting seemed to be a little angry, and thought for a moment before retreating.


    Seeing that Huang Zhan had left, Di Chen thought that he had to break through the first level of the Scholar realm soon, otherwise, it would be very dangerous for him to meet a fifth stage Life Seizing Cultivator.


    "What are you doing? I was the one who got the pill first, what right do you have to try to steal my pill?"


    "Nonsense! I saw that pill first. You stole my pill."


    Right at this moment, the sounds of two women quarreling came from afar. It was precisely Cao Yuer and Li Xin, and from the tone, it seemed like the two had found a usable pellet.


    Everyone immediately rushed over, and saw Cao Yuer and Li Xin fighting for the red bottle, inside it was a faint fragrance, if there was such a fragrance, it meant that the pill could still be consumed, although they did not know what pill was inside, but it was a pill left behind by the Eternal Gate, everyone knew how valuable the pill was, and that it might be able to allow a person to break through a whole realm.


    "Yu''er," Cao Rouer asked. "What''s going on?"


    Cao Yuer said angrily: "I was the one who found this bottle of pills first, but this Li Xin actually stole it from my hands."


    Li Xin argued: "This is obviously what I saw first. It should be you who stole my medicinal pellet."


    Cao Yuer said: "You''re lying, you''ve been looking for it here before, why didn''t you see this bottle of pills at that time, and only saw it when I found it?"


    Li Xin retorted, "Could it be that you''re in charge of when I found this bottle of medicinal pellet, and I didn''t notice it at the beginning, but I realized later on that it wasn''t okay?"


    From her tone, it was obvious that she was trying to force the truth out of them. Everyone already roughly understood what was going on.


    Cao Rouer stared at Li Xin with cold eyes and said: "You sure know how to find excuses, quickly let go, I won''t kill you."


    Huang Ting laughed coldly: "Cao Rouer, if you want to kill her, you have to ask whether I agree or not."


    He did not want to fight to the death with Cao Rouer, but it was different now. Here was a bottle of the Eternal Gate s'' pellet, even if it meant that he had to think of a way to obtain it.


    Cao Fei scolded angrily: "Have you gone deaf? Didn''t you hear what Yu''er said? Didn''t you hear that he stole it first?"


    Huang Zhan laughed coldly: "It should be you who is deaf. Didn''t you hear from Li Xin that she saw it first?"


    Cao Fei scolded angrily: "Who can''t tell that you guys are purposefully finding an excuse to steal our pills? This pill is ours, hurry up and scram, otherwise don''t blame us for being impolite."


    Huang Zhan taunted: "You think a fourth stage Life Seizing Cultivator like you would be so rude towards me?"


    "You," Cao Fei was so angry that he almost wanted to attack, but he knew that he was no match for Huang Zhan.


    For a time, neither side was willing to give up. They were in a stalemate and could fight at any time.


    But if they were to fight, Cao Rouer and the rest would definitely lose, and Huang Ting and the rest would also suffer, which would not be beneficial to their following movements.

 C49

    Huang Ting said: "They have their reasons, so it won''t do if this goes on, I see, how about this, since this bottle of pills was discovered by them first, then let them have a fight, whoever wins will have this bottle of pills."


    Huang Zhan laughed: "That''s a good idea, all treasures and heavenly materials are for the strong, since the two of them said that they discovered it themselves, then it would depend on who is stronger. Using martial arts to decide, that is also fair."


    Martial Region Continent was a martial artist, it was normal for decisions to be made based on cultivation. After all, the weak had no reason to do so.


    The big fist, the hard logic, this was the Martial Region Continent!


    Cao Fei also knew that Cao Yuer was no match for him, and he immediately objected. "We found this bottle of pills first, why would we take the risk?"


    Huang Zhan laughed coldly: "Since you guys are not willing, then let''s see who is stronger. However, fists and feet have no eyes, and if someone dies, don''t blame us."


    Letting Cao Yuer and Li Xin compete was just a small trick to Huang Zhan. In fact, he liked it more when they fought head on.


    Cao Fei had nothing to say, and if the two of them were to fight, they would definitely not be his match. After all, their opponent was Liu Jingjing, who was still at the eighth stage of Life Seizing Liu Jingjing, even though Liu Jingjing had not reached the ninth stage of Life Seizing yet. However, Sky Realm Academy had heard that she had already killed a lot of ninth stage Life Seizing cultivators.


    "Alright," Cao Yuer suddenly agreed. "Then I''ll compete with her, I''m still afraid of her."


    Cao Rouer did not have a choice as she knew Cao Yuer did not have a choice. If she did not compete with Li Xin, a fight to the death would occur between the two of them, and the result would be even worse.


    Although Cao Fei was not convinced, he had no choice.


    Although Cao Yuer and Cao Yuer were of the same level, one could tell with a glance that Cao Yuer was injured, and that she was not a match for Li Xin.


    Huang Ting laughed: "Since Miss Yu''er has agreed to a competition, whoever wins will get the pill. There''s no way to fight in this house, let''s go out."


    As he said that, he brought Huang Zhan and the rest and walked out. Cao Rouer and the rest followed closely behind.


    Just then, Di Chen quietly walked over to Cao Yuer''s side and took out a piece of paper with the word "Set" written on it, and quietly placed it into her hands.


    Seeing that it was just an ordinary slip of paper, with no signs of spirit energy undulations, Cao Yuer had a face of doubt.


    Di Chen did not have time to explain, he only smiled mysteriously, and this piece of paper was enough for Cao Yuer to use against him.


    Both sides walked out of the Immortal Wind Pavilion, while Cao Rouer, Huang Ting and the rest all retreated to the side, leaving Cao Yuer and Li Xin alone in the middle.


    Li Xin raised his head and taunted: "This is a bottle of medicinal pellet that you want to snatch from me, don''t blame me for hurting you."


    Cao Yuer also had a stubborn temper, as she snorted, "The two of us are both at the fourth stage of the Life Reaching Realm, what makes you think you can hurt me?"


    Li Xin laughed: "Otherwise, why would they not agree to have a fight with me in the beginning? We are both well aware of this matter, I will give you another chance, obediently give us that pill, maybe I will show mercy."


    Cao Yuer was too lazy to argue with Li Xin, with a leap, she struck out with her palm towards Li Xin: "Extreme Heaven Palm."


    Boundless spirit energy surged out from her body, forming a gigantic palm print that struck at Li Xin.


    "Wind Breaking Fist," Li Xin did not show any signs of weakness as she punched towards Cao Yuer. The fist wind was like a blade that was blown towards Cao Yuer.


    The gigantic palm print was immediately blown away, and like a sharp blade, wind blew past Cao Yuer''s body, slashing her body into many shocking wounds, bleeding profusely.


    "Yu''er," Cao Rouer grew anxious, she did not expect the difference between the two of them to be so great, that one of Li Xin''s palm strike could injure Cao Yuer so heavily.


    Huang Ting took a step forward, and said with a stern voice: "Cao Rouer, what''s wrong, don''t tell me you still want to fight?"


    Cao Rouer didn''t attack, she only looked at Li Xin coldly. It didn''t matter if she lost the match, but if she wanted to kill Cao Yuer, she definitely wouldn''t sit by and do nothing.


    "Elder sister, I''m fine," Cao Yuer wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth, her spirit energy gushing out again, a Spirit Sword shot out from between her brows towards Li Xin.


    "Sword Martial Spirit?" Li Xin was not worried at all. Her two fingers also pointed at the space between her eyebrows, and a Spirit Sword shot out.


    The two Spirit Sword collided with each other, and with a bang, they both broke apart. A gust of wind dispersed and flipped Cao Yuer over before heavily smashing him to the ground, causing him to feel as if her bones were about to shatter.


    Seeing this, Huang Zhan laughed: "We''re both at the fourth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm and also Sword Martial Spirit, but you''re too far away from Xin Er. You think you can take the Sky Realm Academy examination?"


    Huang Ting advised: "Miss Yu''er, you should just admit defeat, if you are not Xin''er''s opponent, you will still lose, and this will not benefit your training and the examinations later on. This Thousand Monster Mountain does not only have a single bottle of pills, why do you need this bottle?"


    That being said, it was already rare to find this bottle of pills, so it was easier to encounter a fortuitous encounter than to say that it was a fortuitous one.


    Cao Rouer was worried that Cao Yuer''s life was in danger, although she was unwilling, she still gave up, and said: "Yu Er, forget it, I will give this bottle of pills to them."


    Cao Fei clenched his fist, he did not say anything, after all, compared to the bottle of pills, he cared more about Cao Yuer''s safety.


    "No," Cao Yuer said as she pushed herself off the ground and stood up, gritting her teeth, "I haven''t lost yet."


    Today, there would be someone to steal the pill that she had found with great difficulty. Tomorrow, there would still be someone to steal the other things that she had obtained. Therefore, she would not give up.


    Li Xin saw that Cao Yuer actually wanted to continue attacking and showed no mercy. Her body swayed forward and she smashed her fist towards Cao Yuer. "Wind Breaking Fist!"


    This punch was obviously meant to kill, if Cao Yuer did not block it, even if she did not die, she would still be crippled.


    "Not good," Cao Rouer cried inwardly, but the situation was too sudden, and she was unable to save Cao Yuer even if she wanted to.


    Huang Ting also did not expect this scene, it was already too late to try and persuade Li Xin. On the other hand, Huang Zhan had an expression of joy at his misfortune, he was very happy to see Li Xin kill Cao Yuer.


    Cao Yuer could feel a strong wind blowing towards her, she suddenly pulled out a white piece of paper from her bosom and threw it towards Li Xin, it was just that this white paper did not have any spirit energy, she did not know if this white paper was useful or not, but Di Chen had said so, so she believed in Di Chen.


    "Hmm?" At first, Li Xin thought that Cao Yuer was going to use some powerful technique, but in the end, it was just a piece of white paper without any spirit force, she thought that Cao Yuer was just putting on an act, and her speed did not decrease at all, but just when her fist was about to hit Cao Yuer, her body suddenly stopped, as though she was restricted by some power and was unable to move, her face was filled with fear: "What happened?"


    Seeing this, Cao Yuer was ecstatic, and immediately threw a punch onto Li Xin''s body: "Heaven''s Extreme Fist."


    Bang!


    Li Xin was struck in the front, causing his entire body to fly backwards, and rolled over ten times on the ground. His body seemed to have flipped over as she spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to stand back up.


    "What?" This is impossible, "Huang Zhan was shocked, he had previously held the upper hand, but how did Li Xin suddenly attack his as if he had been possessed? She quickly helped Li Xin up," Xin''er, are you alright?


    "I''m fine, I can still ¡­" Li Xin''s face was filled with unwillingness, she still wanted to fight, but after being punched in the face, she did not have the strength to fight, and before she could finish speaking, she spat out another mouthful of blood.


    "You actually injured Xin''er to such an extent, you''re seeking death," Huang Zhan coldly looked at Cao Yuer and wanted to attack him. He had a close relationship with Li Xin, so he naturally could not tolerate Li Xin getting injured.


    "Huang Zhan!" Huang Ting shouted in time, "Come back here!"


    Huang Zhan was not convinced: "Big Brother, they injured Xin''er to such an extent, we can''t just leave it be."


    Huang Ting said seriously: "We lost, we lost the bet, this pill is theirs."


    Huang Zhan was still not convinced, but he knew that Huang Ting had always been one to keep his promises, so he gave up.


    Huang Ting stared at Cao Rouer and said: "This time it''s us who lost, but I will remember this matter, the most urgent matter of the Sky Realm Academy''s life is about to begin, I think you will participate too, and we will see the results later."


    With that, he turned and headed towards the depths of Thousand Monster Mountain. As for the Immortal Wind Pavilion, they did not enter, so there shouldn''t be any pills inside.


    Huang Zhan looked at Cao Yuer with killing intent in his eyes, but in the end, he still supported Li Xin and left.


    Liu Jingjing did not immediately leave, but picked up the slip of paper that Cao Yuer had thrown out. It had the word "fix" written on it, this word was powerful and forceful, with a calligraphy style that seemed like a god, giving people a sense of power. However, she did not see any movement of spirit energy from it, and kept the slip of paper, her eyes inadvertently glanced at Di Chen who was standing at the back of the crowd, and then followed Huang Ting. She knew that this was Di Chen''s doing, but she did not sense any spirit energy from Di Chen''s body, and was somewhat curious.


    Di Chen was secretly complaining in his heart, although the paper had the power of a scholar, only Di Chen could use it. Previously, Di Chen took advantage of the fact that Cao Yuer threw the paper in order to activate the power of a scholar to lock him down, but the reason he gave it to Cao Yuer was because he was afraid that others would see through his intentions.


    However, he never expected that the other party would actually be able to see through him. Although she didn''t say anything, Di Chen could feel the danger in her eyes.


    Di Chen quickly supported Cao Yuer and asked, "Are you alright?"


    Cao Yuer was also severely injured, she could not even stand, and leaned on Di Chen''s body, laughing: "Di Chen, what exactly is that paper of yours, to actually be able to lock onto Li Xin, it''s so powerful, if not for you, I''m afraid I would not have been able to win."


    and Cao Fei were both shocked upon hearing this. The two of them had previously suspected that Cao Yuer could actually win, but now they realized that it was actually Di Chen who was trying to stop them, but they could not figure it out.


    Just where did this Di Chen come from? He clearly does not have any Origin Energy, yet he has the cultivation to take his life and triple stage.

 C50

    "Is this move of yours the same move you used to deal with me? What kind of technique is this? Why is it so magical?"


    Di Chen did not hide anything: "It''s that technique, I have previously learned a relatively special technique, this technique does not require Spirit Qi, so you all are unable to see through it."


    "No need for elemental energy?" Even Cao Rouer was surprised to hear this: "What other cultivation technique does Martial Region Continent do that does not require spirit energy?"


    Most of the scholars were in the imperial government, or perhaps had long secluded themselves in the deep mountains, they would not easily show their faces, or fight with others. People like Cao Rouer who cultivated in the Lifestealer Realm would not know that there were other Wen Sheng existences in this world.


    Di Chen casually said: "I don''t know what kind of cultivation technique it is either, but it''s quite suitable for me to cultivate."


    It was obvious that he did not want to say it!


    Cao Yuer helped him out: "How big is this Martial Region Continent, and what kind of experts do you have? Don''t chase after Di Chen to ask, this is his secret after all."


    Each of the warriors had their own secrets, which was very normal. To ask others'' secrets like this was taboo, but seeing that Di Chen was not willing to tell them, Cao Rouer didn''t feel right asking too many questions.


    "Yu''er," Cao Fei excitedly said as he pointed to the bottle of medicinal pellets. "Hurry up and take a look at what kind of pellet this is."


    Cao Yuer opened the bottle and a sweet fragrance wafted out. The fragrance made people feel relaxed and happy, and after smelling it, they could feel the spirit force in their bodies increase by a lot, she poured out the pill. There was only a fingernail-sized green pill inside, but Cao Yuer did not recognize the pill, and curiously looked at it.


    Cao Rouer accepted the pill, and suddenly revealed a look of excitement: "This is an Opening Spirit Pill."


    "Spirit Opening Pill?" Cao Fei had never heard of such pills being sold in the Universe Pavilion. However, he could only stay on the first level, and with his low cultivation, it was normal for him not to know.


    Cao Rouer explained: "The refining process of this Spirit Opening Pill is very complicated, even in the ancient times, it was very rare. A Spirit Opening Pill can make those wild beasts gain intelligence, understand human nature, transform into human form, and can also make those who do not have talent become unusually intelligent, intelligent, and even those who are born dumb can become geniuses within tens of thousands as long as you swallow a Spirit Opening Pill."


    "There is such a pill?" Cao Yuer cried out in alarm, she knew that there were some pills that could improve a person''s talent, such as the Dragon Creation Pellet, which was a Holy-ranked Pellet, but the effect of the increase in talent was not too good. For example, if a person could not break through the Mirror of Life due to their stupidity, then consuming ten Dragon Creation Pellets would make their brain more nimble and improve their talent, allowing them the person to have the chance to break through the Mirror of Life.


    There were not many pills like the Dragon Creation Pellet in Martial Region Continent that could raise talent, and it was extremely expensive, but this Spirit Opening Pill could make a fool into a genius that was out of ten thousand?!


    Even if Di Chen heard it, he was still a little envious, thinking that if he had this pill, he would have been able to cultivate since then.


    "Unfortunately, there''s only one." Cao Rouer said with a face full of regret, "Yu''er, since this pellet was found by you, you can refine it."


    Cao Yuer said: "But big sister, second brother, what about you?"


    Cao Fei laughed: "Big sister has better talent than the both of us, she will definitely have another encounter in the future. Although my talent is average, at least it will be better than yours, you will soon be taking the Sky Realm Academy examination. Swallowing this pill will allow you to enter Sky Realm Academy, don''t worry about us, what''s more, how do you know if we have another encounter in the future?"


    Actually, of the three of them, Cao Yuer''s talent was the worst, and she was the laziest one, not liking to cultivate. Although she was also at the fourth stage of Life Seizing, her strength was still far weaker than Cao Fei.


    This place was naturally unsuitable for refining pills. The three of them continued to delve deeper, and soon found a dilapidated room somewhere. Half of the room was buried in the ground, and the house poured down like it could collapse at any time.


    The three of them walked into the ordinary looking room. The room was divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. The room was filled with dust, and after rummaging for a while, they realized that there was nothing valuable inside.


    "This should only be the room for normal disciples. Yu''er, you stay here and refine the pills. Cao Fei and I will protect you."


    Cao Rouer said: "Hurry up and refine that medicinal pellet, and then go find that strange treasure."


    Cao Yuer nodded her head, she went inside the house, sat cross-legged on the ground, and swallowed the pill inside, then began to refine it while Cao Rouer and Cao Fei stayed by her side.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen looked around when he had nothing else to do, he suddenly saw a book covered with mud at the corner of the wall, he curiously picked it up and blew away the dust, the book was still relatively intact and on the cover was written "The Origin of All Techniques".


    Flipping through the title page, the first page of the book was titled "The Way of Survival!"


    Di Chen knew that the reason why he failed the examination was because the last article he wrote was not good. He did not expect that in the Primordial Era, there would be such a question, he could not help but be excited, and wanted to see what the ancients had to say.


    "Human nature is greedy, it''s the fault of the world ¡­"


    Di Chen read the book carefully, he realized that the words in the book were exactly the opposite of the article he had written before, Di Chen blamed the heaven and earth for being heartless, human beings suffering from the sins of the heavens and earth, and human beings were all abandoned by the heavens and earth, and playthings, and had extreme opinions, but the book said that the heavens and earth were merciful, while human beings were greedy, milked the value of the heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth suffered from human suffering, the heavens and earth could not endure any longer, so they took revenge, and punished human beings, in fact, but humans did not test themselves, and blamed everything on the heaven and earth.


    Di Chen had always heard people say that fate was unfair, that the heaven and earth were heartless, and viewed everything as worthless. However, this was the first time he heard someone''s point of view.


    It was not that the heavens and earth were heartless, it was because they were greedy and unscrupulous. That was why the heavens and earth punished these people. People had brought this upon themselves.


    Di Chen realized that his previous view seemed to be a little narrow. When he met with misfortune, he would blame it all on fate, but he had never tried to find the reason why. The world outlook and values in this book were much greater than his own.


    Cultivation is in the hands of the individual, fate is in the hands of the individual, what does it matter to the world?


    Di Chen carefully savored the book, he was immersed in thought for a moment, as if everything around him did not exist, and he did not care about whether he was in danger or not, as though everything outside had nothing to do with him.


    This was the state in which the scholar read to the depths of his life, a book to the world, the same as cultivation.


    "Origin of All Laws?" Cao Rouer looked at the title of the book, and shook her head: "This should only be an ordinary book that talks about the law of survival, the living world, not some kind of cultivation technique."


    Cao Fei said in a strange tone: "This Thousand Monster Mountain is unusually dangerous, her life is at risk at any time. He actually went and looked at the books, and even did not know the dangers, she is truly a strange person."


    Cao Rouer looked at Di Chen strangely, thinking that he didn''t look like a warrior, but instead like a scholar. She really didn''t know what secrets he was hiding, but this made her curious about Di Chen.


    "How could I lose to Cao Yuer?" Li Xin was still a little unconvinced after being defeated by him, so she scolded him along the way. After all, everyone knew that Cao Yuer''s talent was poor, and she, Li Xin, was a genius.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Xin''er, you don''t have to be angry. You didn''t lose to Cao Yuer, but to that person who doesn''t have any Origin Energy."


    "That person?" Li Xin did not have much of an impression of Di Chen. After all, she did not take''s words to heart when he previously saw that she did not have any Yuan Power in his body.


    Huang Ting and Huang Zhan also looked at Liu Jingjing in surprise. The two of them did not discover anything special about the man, but there was always a reason behind Liu Jingjing''s words.


    Liu Jingjing took out the piece of paper with the word "certain" on it and said: "Earlier, Cao Yuer used this piece of paper to control you right?"


    Li Xin took the slip of paper and said, "That''s right, when I first saw this slip of paper, there was not the slightest bit of spirit energy fluctuations, so I did not put it in my heart. But at that time, my body felt like it was shackled by something, and could not move at all."


    Liu Jingjing said: "That''s right, when Cao Yuer took out this piece of paper, I didn''t see how intense Cao Yuer''s spirit energy was, but I vaguely felt a very unique and weak power, and this power came from that person. I believe that person must have learned some special cultivation technique that I don''t think we can understand, but we have never seen it before, and it must be because of him."


    "What?" When Huang Zhan heard it, he flew into a rage, "So it was that person who did this, he actually tricked us. No way, we have to go back and get the pills back."


    Huang Ting snorted: "I''m afraid they have already left, and they might have already taken the pill inside, what use is there going to go back?"


    Huang Zhan was not convinced and complained: "Sister Jingjing, why didn''t you say anything earlier?"


    Liu Jingjing said: I was only guessing, there''s no way to confirm it, and what cultivation technique that man cultivated, his strength, we do not know, you should be glad that he did not attack you at the Immortal Wind Pavilion, otherwise, you would have been killed already.


    Earlier, Huang Zhan had provoked Di Chen at the Immortal Wind Pavilion, at that time he thought that Di Chen was just an ordinary person, but he was able to quietly help Cao Yuer to defeat Li Xin without so many experts noticing, he was definitely not a simple person, if the two of them had fought, Huang Zhan might really lose his life, Huang Zhan felt a burst of fear.


    But what kind of cultivation technique did this guy cultivate? Why was there no Origin Energy fluctuation?

 C51

    "Phew ¡­"


    Cao Yuer opened her eyes, which emitted a light aura, her cultivation level and appearance had not changed, but her temperament had changed, giving people a feeling that she wanted to be close to him.


    Cao Fei anxiously asked: "Yu''er, how do you feel?"


    Cao Yuer opened her palm and took a look, then said excitedly: "I feel that my brain is clearer, my mind is clearer, there are many questions that I did not understand previously, and I suddenly understand now."


    Cao Rouer laughed: "Humans have limitless potential, but in truth, we are usually unable to make use of it, this Spirit Opening Pill is just to stimulate your potential, in the future, you will cultivate faster than others, maybe you will even have the chance to break through the Martial Ancestor Realm."


    "Really," Cao Yuer said with a face full of excitement, what kind of powerful existence was the Martial Ancestor? There were very few Martial Ancestors in the entire Millennium City.


    Cao Rouer smiled and nodded, even she was a little envious. Although Cao Rouer''s talent was not bad, she wasn''t even confident in breaking through Martial Saint.


    Cao Fei was even more jealous. Previously, Cao Yuer''s talent was not as good as his, but now, he was much stronger.


    "Where''s Di Chen?" Cao Yuer was the first to tell Di Chen about this, and when she saw that Di Chen was still sitting at the corner reading, she wanted to call him.


    "Wait," Cao Rouer said as she pulled Cao Yuer back. "Don''t disturb him, wait for him to wake up."


    Cao Yuer had a strange look on her face as she said, "Isn''t he just reading?"


    Reading a book isn''t even about cultivation. What do you mean, wait for him to wake up?


    Although Cao Rouer didn''t know why Di Chen was so engrossed in reading, she knew that Di Chen''s state was no different from a warrior''s. It was better not to call him that.


    The three of them did not disturb Di Chen, and waited for him at the side. If it was before, Cao Rouer would definitely not have waited, but previously, Di Chen had helped Cao Yuer a lot, and she knew that Di Chen was not a simple person, making friends with him was beneficial, but Cao Fei was dissatisfied, Di Chen was an outsider, and the key was even his love rival.


    Reading!


    It has to be said that warriors looked down upon scholars, since they were common knowledge in the Martial Region Continent.


    After a few hours, Di Chen finally closed the book, but he did not immediately stand up.


    "If the heavens and earth are merciful, then all living beings will suffer!" Di Chen thought in his heart, his mind suddenly opened up. His previous thinking was truly narrow-minded, and was way inferior to the ancient people, which made him extremely ashamed.


    Suddenly!


    A formless energy exploded within his body, causing Di Chen''s eyes to emit a light of intelligence. The power of the scholar in his body soared, first breaking through the tenth level of the scholar realm, then quickly advancing to the first level of the scholar realm, and then the second level of the scholar realm. At any time, there was a possibility of him breaking through the third level of the scholar realm.


    "Phew ¡­"


    Di Chen let out a long breath of relief, and kept the book. He thought to himself, This is a good book, I don''t know who wrote it, but someone must have written it, maybe this person had already understood the world, saw through life, and just after reading the first book,¡¶ Way of Survival¡· he was actually able to help me break through my cultivation, there are still nine books left, but I do not know what realm they will help me to break through.


    The literati was the double stage of a scholar and the martial cultivator was the triple stage of life stealing. Such a realm could be killed even if one was at the fifth stage of life seizing.


    Cao Yuer walked over and said excitedly: "Di Chen, what are you reading? You''re so engrossed in it, my sister said that you''ve been reading it longer than I have to cultivate."


    Di Chen laughed: "It''s just an ethics book that emphasizes the path of survival, I found it very interesting, and became addicted to it."


    Cao Yuer had a strange look on her face: "Who would be so engrossed with reading like this? If I didn''t know that you''ve also cultivated before, I would have thought you were a scholar."


    A martial artist would exhaust all their time to learn martial arts, so how could they have the time to study?


    Di Chen laughed, thinking that he was a scholar, but there was no need to purposely say these kinds of things.


    Weng! *


    At this moment, a huge explosion was heard. A terrifying force swept out in all directions, causing the ground to shake.


    "What''s going on?" Everyone immediately walked out of the room, and when they did so, they saw a pillar of light shooting up into the sky from the depths of Thousand Monster Mountain, exploding from a thousand feet into the sky, and shooting out in all directions like sharp swords.


    "Not good," Cao Rouer''s face changed, and she roared: "Dodge!"


    Although it was far away, if they were blasted by the explosion, they would still die without a doubt. Fortunately, the explosion finally stopped after a few seconds, and at the same time, the entire small world was covered with a cloud of dust, and after a few minutes, the dust dissipated. The place was already razed to the ground, and huge craters formed on the ground.


    Cao Rouer asked anxiously: "Cao Fei, Yu''er, how are you guys?"


    Cao Yuer said fearfully, "I''m fine, big sister, what was that just now?"


    Seeing that they were fine, Cao Rouer heaved a sigh of relief: "It must be that Heavenly Treasure that came out, we need to hurry, I think most of us have rushed over there by now."


    Judging from the might of the item just now, it was very likely to be a treasure left behind by the Eternal Gate. Cao Rouer and the others did not want to miss out on this opportunity, and immediately rushed towards the distance.


    Di Chen knew that it was dangerous there, and that those who went must be strong, he wouldn''t be able to get that thing even if he went himself. Originally, he didn''t want to go, since he had obtained a¡¶ The Origin of All Techniques¡·, after all, this book was useless to others, but to him, it was a priceless treasure.


    Four hours later, Cao Rouer and the rest finally reached the place where the light would explode.


    At this time, over a hundred people had already arrived, and all of them were strong Lifestealer Realm experts. They ranged from the fifth stage to the ninth stage, and everyone was frantically fighting with one another. It was as if they had lost all rationality and their eyes were bloodshot.


    In the center of the ground, there was a huge red sword. It was about ten meters long and thirteen inches wide, and it was glowing with a powerful aura. However, there was no one beside the sword.


    Cao Fei exclaimed: "Exactly what kind of sword is that, it seems to be extraordinary."


    Cao Rouer frowned: "This sword is not ordinary, its value is great, we cannot let it fall into someone else''s hands, we need it."


    Just as they were about to snatch it away, Di Chen suddenly stopped them: "Wait, do not mess around, although this sword is different from the others, I''m afraid it is not something we Lifestealer Realm can snatch."


    Cao Fei frowned: "What do you mean by that, are we just going to watch as the sword falls into the hands of another?"


    It had to be known that this sword was left behind by the Eternal Gate, if he obtained it, his strength would be increased by ten times, so how could they miss this opportunity when everyone was looking for a treasure?


    Di Chen nodded and said, "Don''t you think that these people are a little strange?"


    Cao Yuer was also suspicious, "That''s right, these people seemed to have lost all sense of reason, and started killing crazily. I think they must have been affected by the sword."


    Cao Fei looked over, and realized that they were all filled with shock, their bodies could not be controlled, they only knew how to kill, but there were still many people standing at the periphery, they did not participate in the battle rashly, and their eyes were clear, as though they were still rational, while the people near the sword seemed to be extremely crazed, and did not have any traces of humanity at all.


    Cao Rouer also noticed the inklings, and started to ponder: "No wonder when I arrived here, I had the urge to kill someone, and I guess it was mostly because of the sword, but we cannot just sit there and wait for death, we can wait and see, let them fight till both sides are injured, then we can just sit and watch."


    Although she said that, there were a lot of people who thought that way. Cao Rouer suddenly noticed that Huang Ting and the rest were not far away, but they did not attack.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly saw two men who were forcefully pulling Qin Suer closer to the sword. The two of them were Yang Yue and Ling Fei, their eyes were red, as though they were affected by the sword, but they could still maintain their senses, and Yu Xiuyuan and Murong Yue were watching from a distance. They were the ones who forcefully pulled Qin Suer away, and as expected, they were also here, but Di Chen did not know why they forcefully pulled Qin Suer to get the sword.


    "Su''er doesn''t seem to be affected too much," Di Chen suddenly realised that Qin Suer''s eyes were focused and did not lose his reason. This meant that she was not affected by the sword at all.


    Di Chen didn''t know what they were thinking, but he knew that Qin Suer was definitely in danger, and immediately rushed towards Yang Yue and Ling Fei.


    "Di Chen," Cao Yuer didn''t even have time to stop Di Chen and just wanted to follow him.


    Cao Rouer grabbed onto Cao Yuer and said, "You can''t go over, it''s too dangerous."


    Cao Yuer said anxiously: "But what about Di Chen?"


    Cao Rouer said calmly: "He is a bit more careful than me, he thinks that he has some sort of life-saving measure, if there really is a danger, I will save him."


    When Cao Yuer heard this, he finally calmed down a little. She looked at Di Chen anxiously, thinking to herself, how was he supposed to enter even if he knew the danger?


    At this time, Qin Suer was being dragged by Ling Fei towards the gigantic sword.


    "What kind of sword is this? It can actually have such a huge impact on a martial artist with stronger soul force."


    Yang Yue tried his best to control himself from being affected by the sword, but even with his protection, he could not withstand it as he got closer to the sword.


    Ling Fei could not take it anymore, and looked at Qin Suer: "We can only send you to this place, you go get the sword, if you succeed, we will bring you out of here."


    Qin Suer was not affected by the swords, that was why they forced Qin Suer to get the swords back, but since Qin Suer''s strength was low, wouldn''t she be sending herself to her death?

 C52

    This place was filled with Lifestealer Realm warriors, and Qin Suer was just an ordinary warrior. How could others allow her to get close to that sword?


    Furthermore, that sword was obviously not an ordinary weapon. How could Qin Suer, an ordinary ranker, obtain it?


    Although Qin Suer was not affected much by the sword, she would still die if she went over rashly.


    Qin Suer said angrily: "You all know that the possibility of me being able to retrieve my sword is low, I think I will most likely die, but you all still forced me to retrieve it, you all simply want to kill me."


    The two of them did indeed know that the possibility of Qin Suer taking back her sword was not high, and only hoped to see if she would die or not.


    Yang Yue laughed coldly, "Since you want to follow us, then you naturally have to be of use as well. Now is the time for you to be of use."


    Qin Suer said angrily: "I don''t have any plans to move with you guys, you forcefully brought me away. Moreover, I have helped you guys find quite a few Spirit Grass and cured you guys of a lot of miasma.


    If not for Qin Suer, she reckoned that Ling Fei and Yang Yue would have died outside, and would not have been able to go in any deeper. It could be said that on the way here, Qin Suer was more useful than any other people.


    Yet, these people were forcing him to risk his life to retrieve the sword? You still say that you''re useless?


    Ling Fei knew that he was being unreasonable, and did not want to argue with Qin Suer, so he said impatiently: "I don''t care how much help you have given us, hurry over, if not don''t blame us for being impolite."


    Qin Suer stared deadly at Ling Fei, and grinded her teeth as she walked towards the direction of the gigantic sword.


    Right at that moment, a man suddenly landed beside Qin Suer and grabbed him.


    "Di Chen?" When Qin Suer saw Di Chen, she was overjoyed and said excitedly, "I knew you would come and save me."


    Di Chen laughed: "I came late, are you injured?"


    Qin Suer shook her head, then looked at Yang Yue and Ling Fei and said angrily: "These two people are too despicable, they want to force me to get the sword."


    Letting a practitioner of triple stage retrieve a sword, that would simply be sending her to her death!


    Di Chen then looked coldly at Ling Fei, "Earlier, you two forcefully took Su''er away and now you are forcing her to die? You two deserve to die."


    Yang Yue and Ling Fei did not expect that this guy who did not have any spirit energy to not be dead yet, and was even able to go deeper in, his appearance here caused the two of them to be shocked, even Yu Xiuyuan and Murong Yue who were far away had looks of surprise on their faces, but the two of them looked relaxed, with Yang Yue''s and Ling Fei''s strength, killing a person who did not have any spirit energy, was not an issue with them, so the two of them were not worried, and calmly watched.


    "It''s actually you," Yang Yue sized Di Chen up and said: "Being able to come to this place seems like you have some ability, but I advise you to quickly scram, I do not want to kill anyone."


    It wasn''t that he didn''t want to kill, it was that he couldn''t kill. The moment he killed someone, he would be affected by the sword and trigger their killing intent. It was just like how the people around him couldn''t control themselves as they continued to kill.


    Di Chen sneered: "You guys are the ones who should be the ones to scram. I can let bygones be bygones when you forcefully took Su''er away previously, don''t provoke me anymore."


    Di Chen did not want to kill anyone either. On one hand, he was afraid of being affected by the sword, and on the other hand, he did not want to rashly form a feud with someone at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Realm.


    "I let you go earlier, but I never would have thought that you would come here to die. I''ll grant you that wish."


    Ling Fei would not talk so much with Di Chen, with a leap, he struck out with his palm towards Di Chen, the wind blew strongly and the attack was at least 10 thousand jin, even if it was a normal warrior of the fifth stage of the Life Destruction Realm, he would not be able to block it.


    "Stay," Di Chen bellowed, the power of the scholar surged out from his body, one word from Di Chen, making Ling Fei unable to move.


    The scholar''s double stage stopped a fifth stage Life Seizing Cultivator with ease. Even if the student''s six stages wanted to struggle free, it was not easy.


    Di Chen then seized the opportunity to punch Ling Fei in the chest, using his full strength to send Ling Fei flying and heavily hitting the ground. His breastbone was broken, he was unable to stand up even while lying on the ground. In truth, Di Chen was not as strong as Ling Fei, but the problem was that Ling Fei was only two realms higher than Di Chen in terms of strength.


    "What?" Yang Yue was shocked, previously, this Di Chen did not even dare to make a move against him, but now, he actually managed to seriously injure Ling Fei with a single punch?


    This fellow didn''t have any elemental energy, so how could his punch be so strong?


    Yang Yue did not have time to think, seeing Ling Fei being defeated, he immediately pointed at the center of Ling Fei''s brows, and a white blade shot out from between his eyebrows, it was his blade martial soul, and after knowing of Di Chen''s power, he immediately used his full strength.


    Di Chen''s finger wrote a single word in midair, and the word "cut" came straight at Yang Yue''s blade martial soul. The two clashed and with a bang, it exploded, sending a shock wave across Yang Yue''s body, heavily injuring him as well.


    "How can he be so powerful?" Yang Yue and Ling Fei looked at Di Chen in disbelief, their faces revealing their hatred, they wanted to attack, but right at that moment, they saw a group of people with bloodshot eyes suddenly rushing over, raising their swords and slashing.


    "No ¡­" The two screamed in fear, and a long sound pierced the horizon. The two were chopped into meat paste on the spot.


    The entire process happened in the span of a few breaths. Previously, the two of them were arrogantly bragging in front of Di Chen, but now, they were reduced to meat paste?


    "This ¡­" Earlier, when he had forcefully taken Qin Suer away in front of him, he didn''t even dare to say a single word. He originally thought that Qin Suer was a useless trash, but he actually easily defeated a fourth stage Life Seizing Cultivator and a fifth stage Life Stealing Cultivator?


    Furthermore, Yang Yue and Ling Fei had actually been killed, they had met with many dangers along the way, but in the end, they were able to escape, and now they had died at the hands of this fellow?


    "Dammit," Yu Xiuyuan coldly glared at Di Chen as he shot forward with the intent to kill Di Chen.


    Di Chen only saw a figure flying over quickly. With his current strength, he was obviously unable to compete with a ninth stage Life Seizing Cultivator, so his expression changed slightly.


    But right at that moment, Cao Rouer suddenly appeared in front of Di Chen. With a palm strike towards Yu Xiuyuan, both of them were pushed back.


    "Cao Rouer?" Yu Xiuyuan squinted: "What does this have to do with you?"


    Cao Rouer said calmly: "Di Chen and I will move together, how can I just watch as he gets killed by you?"


    Yu Xiuyuan said angrily: "So he had you supporting him. I don''t care what your relationship is, move aside for you, otherwise don''t blame me for being rude."


    Cao Rouer laughed coldly: "Your strength is equal to mine, so what if you are not polite, can you kill me?"


    Murong Yue pointed at Cao Yuer and said: "He alone won''t be able to kill you, but if we really fight, I will definitely kill Cao Yuer and Cao Fei."


    Murong Yue was at the seventh stage, while Cao Fei and Cao Yuer were both at the fourth stage. Based on Di Chen''s performance just now, they could roughly tell that he could compete with those who had the six stages to take his life, but against those who were at the seventh stage of Life Seizing, it was very dangerous. If they really fought, Cao Rouer and the others might not be his match.


    Cao Yuer was not afraid at all, she choked: "I''m afraid you won''t succeed, if you dare to attack, just try, don''t forget that there are a lot of people here that want to take advantage of us."


    This was the truth. Many people didn''t fight because they were waiting for others to fight to the death. If both sides were to fight, most likely both sides would suffer. At that time, neither side would get any advantage.


    "What an arrogant girl," Murong Yue coldly stared at Cao Yuer. She knew what Cao Yuer said was very logical, fighting to the point where both parties would be injured would not benefit anyone.


    Just then, another four people suddenly walked over. They were Huang Ting and the rest.


    "What if we join forces with them?"


    Huang Zhan laughed coldly: "Do you think you still have the chance to fight with us until both of us get hurt?"


    Previously, Huang Ting and the rest did not fight Cao Rouer head on because they did not want to suffer injuries on both sides, but now with Yu Xiuyuan, it would be easy for both sides to deal with one Cao Rouer.


    Cao Yuer''s expression changed, and said angrily: "It''s you guys again, you really are haunting me."


    Li Xin scolded: "Earlier, you guys did something and lied to our pills. This time, let''s see what else you can do."


    Previously, when she was defeated by Cao Yuer, she was unsatisfied and had been wanting to find an opportunity to kill Cao Yuer.


    Cao Rouer secretly cursed, and pretended to be calm: "Huang Ting, your relationship with Yu Xiuyuan is usually not good, why, do you want to cooperate with him today?"


    and Huang Ting were two of the four elites from the Sky Realm Academy s who were fighting for their lives. The competition between the four was extremely intense and both of them were at odds.


    Huang Ting said coldly: "The thing you lied to us about, compared to him, I want to kill you even more."


    Speaking to that point, his gaze turned to Di Chen, Liu Jingjing had said that he was the one who intervened, and had seen him defeat Ling Fei and Yang Yue, he wanted to test just how strong she was.


    Cao Yuer choked: "Then I was the one who got it first, furthermore, you guys lost in the competition, who can you blame?"


    Li Xin said angrily: "Don''t think that I don''t know, how can no one secretly help you win against me?"


    Cao Yuer choked on her words. After all, she was not a match for Li Xin.


    Yu Xiuyuan did not expect Huang Ting to help him, and he sneered: "Cao Rouer, this is the result of you meddling in other people''s business. Huang Ting, let''s kill them all together."


    As he spoke, his elemental ki surged out, and the others prepared to attack as well.


    However, at this moment, a droning sound came from the void and the ground began to tremble violently. It then formed a huge whirlpool, which spread out and sucked everyone nearby into it.


    "What is this?" Yu Xiuyuan stopped and looked around in shock.


    "Not good, run," At this time, no one had the mood to fight anymore, all of them ran towards the distance, but the speed of the whirlpools was extremely fast, in an instant, everyone was sucked into the whirlpools, even Cao Rouer was not affected, and after a while, the ground returned to normal. The whirlpool disappeared, and the huge sword was still stuck in the ground, but no one moved, as though they had never appeared.

 C53

    There were unconscious people lying on the ground, and after a while, there were finally people waking up, all of them looked around in shock, the gray light was not clear, and the air was filled with a rancid smell, as though they were in the subterranean, at the end of the tunnel, there was the ground above their heads, and around them were well-preserved buildings, with broken statues standing everywhere, and on the ground were some skeletons, and Spirit Sword s scattered everywhere.


    "This is the ruin of the Eternal Gate?" Someone pointed at a large hall in front of them and cried out in alarm. There was a slanted signboard in the middle of the hall, with the words "Eternal" written on it.


    This Eternal Gate is an ancient sect, there must be many pills, cultivation techniques, spirit weapon s, any one of them can casually obtain one, causing it to soar into the sky. But everyone knows that this place is very dangerous, so for a large sect like the Eternal Gate, there must definitely be a large amount of array formations left behind, and if the Eternal Gate was here, wouldn''t it be easy for a large sect like the Eternal Gate to arrange array formations and kill a few from the Lifestealer Realm?


    For a time, no one dared to act rashly. Everyone knew that if they were not careful, they would be doomed forever.


    Cao Rouer woke up. He looked around, only to find Cao Yuer and Cao Fei beside him. He hurriedly called out to the two of them, "Are you two alright?"


    "It''s nothing," Cao Yuer and Cao Fei examined their own bodies and shook their heads.


    "Where''s Di Chen?" The first thing Cao Yuer thought of was Di Chen. She anxiously searched around, and very quickly she saw that Di Chen and Qin Suer were lying far away, and Di Chen was pressing Qin Suer''s body down as he tightly hugged her in his embrace. It was obvious that he was using her own body to protect Qin Suer.


    Di Chen opened his eyes and rubbed his aching body, only then did he pat Qin Suer''s face to wake her up. He asked: "Su''er, are you alright?"


    When Qin Suer opened her eyes, she discovered that she was being embraced by Di Chen. Her face slightly flushed, and she smiled happily, "I''m fine."


    Cao Yuer could tell from her eyes and smile that she liked Di Chen, and said angrily: "Di Chen, why didn''t you ask me if I was alright."


    Di Chen was startled: "If you weren''t standing in front of me, what would have happened?"


    Cao Yuer said angrily: "You heartless thing, I''m worried about your safety but you aren''t worried about me at all. You''re infuriating me to death."


    She then angrily returned to Cao Rouer''s side.


    Di Chen was startled: "Why is she so angry?"


    How could Qin Suer, a girl, not understand Cao Yuer''s thoughts? She glared at Di Chen angrily and said: "You really know how to be merciful, I see. I''m interested in you, but she misunderstood us both, so she''s angry."


    Di Chen cried out, and looked at Cao Yuer with a strange expression. She thought to herself that she had only known Cao Yuer for a short period of time, how could she have liked him?


    However, Di Chen did not care about all these at the moment, he turned and looked around, the Spirit Sword had long lost its consciousness, the skeletons were everywhere, he guessed that this was probably the location of the Eternal Gate, he did not expect that the Eternal Gate was buried here, many people wanted to find the ruins of the Eternal Gate, but they would not be able to find anything, his luck was not bad, but he was not excited, but worried, how could he get out of here?


    Di Chen reminded his in a low voice, "Su''er, do not touch anything. There might be traps everywhere here."


    Qin Suer nodded and snuggled close to Di Chen''s body. No matter what Di Chen said, he would do it.


    "Eh? What''s that?" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted.


    Everyone looked in the direction that the person was pointing in. There was a huge rock in the distance with a sword stuck in it. Of course, this sword was not the same huge sword from before.


    "Earth Grade Spirit Sword?" The first two levels were Spirit Level, Profound Level, and were suitable for Lifestealer Realm Warriors. The Earth Level was suitable for Martial King Realm Warriors, and the first level had its corresponding cultivators. No one would have thought that any random sword here would be Earth Level, and even if the people here all had Lifestealer Realm, no one would be able to use an Earth Level weapon.


    The man who saw the Spirit Sword first immediately rushed over and grabbed towards it.


    "Don''t pull out that sword," Di Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong and roared, but he was a step too late.


    Crash! *


    At this time, the huge rock shattered into pieces and the stone statue suddenly moved. It raised its stone sword and smashed towards the man, directly smashing his head into pieces, his brain splattering everywhere.


    At the same time.


    The other stone statues took big strides as they rushed towards the group of people. Their speed was not fast, but their strength was surprisingly great. One sword and one fist could easily kill a person.


    "Not good, he must have activated the mechanism array, damn it, run!" The crowd did not dare to fight the statue head on. On one hand, there were too many stone statues, and on the other hand, these stone statues had the power of at least the ninth stage of Life Seizing cultivators.


    "Di Chen," Cao Yuer shouted to Di Chen from afar. "Over here."


    Initially, Di Chen wanted to bring Qin Suer and the rest to reunite, as it would be safer to have more people, but before they could get close, two stone statues holding swords came cutting in. Di Chen had no way of getting close to them, so he could only bring Qin Suer and escape into the hall.


    Cao Yuer''s face was filled with anxiety. She had originally wanted to give chase, but at this moment, Cao Rouer grabbed Cao Yuer''s hand and dragged him away. She would not let Cao Yuer take the risk.


    There were two rows of stone statues standing on both sides of the hall, and behind the two rows of stone statues, there were four deep and dark tunnels. Although the stone statues did not move, it was difficult to guarantee that they would be activated, so Di Chen wanted to turn back, but just as he turned his head, he saw a stone statue rushing over, so Di Chen could only bring Qin Suer and casually picked a tunnel and rush in.


    Di Chen did not know that not long after he went in, Murong Yue also went in.


    This was a road without end. The road was deep and dark, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. No one else had taken this road.


    Dong dong dong ¡­


    The sound of heavy footsteps came from behind him. It seemed like there were stone statues chasing him.


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Looks like we won''t be able to go back anymore, let''s continue walking."


    Not long after that, a creaking sound came from the ground. Di Chen lowered his head and saw that he had stepped on a skull, and on the side, there was a rusty sword, Di Chen picked it up and looked, and saw that it was a normal sword, even after getting hold of it today, it seemed like his cultivation was low, but there were no wounds on his body, which meant that he had not been in a battle before. Di Chen suddenly thought of the dead people outside, and from the looks of it, it seemed as though they had all died in an instant without being able to react.


    Previously, Cao Rouer said that the Eternal Gate was annihilated in one night, what was going on?


    Phew...


    At this moment, a strong gust of wind blew over, and a terrifying force struck towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen suddenly turned his head around, and saw a woman in red fighting him. It was actually Murong Yue.


    "Why is she here?" Di Chen cursed, and hastily sent a palm strike towards Murong Yue.


    Pow!


    How could Di Chen, who was in the seventh stage of the life reaping triple stage, be a match for him? Di Chen was immediately flipped over and heavily smashed into the ground. His face was pale, and the bones in his arms had already been broken.


    Qin Suer quickly helped Di Chen up, took out a pill and fed it to him: "Hurry and consume this pill."


    After consuming the pill, Di Chen''s complexion finally recovered a little. He looked at Murong Yue and muttered: "You really have no end, you actually followed me here for the sake of killing me."


    Murong Yue snorted: "You killed Yang Yue and Ling Fei, how can I let you go?"


    Di Chen argued: "I only injured them, I did not kill them."


    Murong Yue said: "If you do not injure them, will they die?"


    Di Chen said angrily: "Who told you to take Su''er away by force. The one who still wanted to force her to die, was clearly you two who had no reason to do so first."


    Murong Yue said: "I do not care what the reason is, I only know that you killed Yang Yue and Ling Fei, and you deserve to die."


    The reason why she risked her life to follow Di Chen in was so she could kill him. After she finished speaking, she threw another punch at Di Chen.


    "Break!" The scholar power in Di Chen''s body dispersed and with a loud shout, the word ''Break'' floated towards Murong Yue like a sharp blade.


    "What is this?" Murong Yue had seen people kill with swords before, it was the first time she saw someone killing with words, she did not dare to be careless, and released her power: "Blood Rainbow Seal."


    The Blood Rainbow Seal was a top grade Mysterious rank cultivation technique and only those who had broken through to the seventh stage of Life Seizing would be able to practice it.


    Di Chen, after all, was just a scholar''s double stage, and was simply not a match for a person at the seventh stage of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm. He was sent flying, and his body felt as if it had flipped over a bottle as he spewed out a mouthful of blood. How could he dare to stay behind any longer?


    "What kind of cultivation method is this? It doesn''t have any Yuan power fluctuations, but its power is this great?"


    Murong Yue also retreated two steps as she was secretly surprised. She immediately chased after Di Chen: "You won''t be able to escape, today I must kill you."


    How could Di Chen possibly outrun Murong Yue when he was bringing a warrior''s triple stage? He hurriedly took out a piece of paper with the word "fix" written on it, and threw one out every few meters.


    "Let''s see where you can run to," Murong Yue chased closely after Di Chen, but when she passed by the note with the word ''freeze'', she suddenly made a hand sign, the power of the scholar inside her body surged out, causing Murong Yue''s body to freeze, as though she was restricted by a force, she shook it off with ease.


    "What is this?" Murong Yue did not continue to chase after it, but picked up the slip of paper instead. She did not feel any spirit energy fluctuations from the slip, it was just an ordinary slip of paper, so how could she be restrained?


    What kind of cultivation technique did this fellow cultivate?

 C54

    Every time Murong Yue walked a distance, she would be restricted by an invisible force. Although she could quickly struggle free, this would greatly reduce her speed, and could only watch as Di Chen and Qin Suer walked further and further away.


    Di Chen turned around and glanced at the deep tunnel. He could vaguely feel a powerful aura behind him, and it was obvious that this Murong Yue had not given up on chasing after him, but he did not see any of her people.


    The two of them continued to walk deeper into the cave. After a few minutes, they reached the end of the stone door and at the end of the passage, there were two stone statues on both sides of the stone door. Di Chen and Qin Suer were afraid that the stone statue would wake up and not go near.


    Qin Suer looked behind him and said anxiously: "Di Chen, what do we do? There is no other path here, but this Murong Yue will catch up anytime."


    Di Chen thought for a while and took out two pieces of paper with the word "set" written on it, he carefully approached the stone statue but the stone statue did not move, so he placed the two pieces of paper on top of the stone statue, with Di Chen''s cultivation, it was extremely difficult to control the stone statue, but it could save him in an emergency situation.


    knocked on the door and said: "This Murong Yue will be able to catch up soon, we have to quickly open the door, but it seems to be sealed by a force, with our cultivation, I''m afraid we cannot forcefully open it."


    "Eh?" Qin Suer pointed at a few big words on the door and asked curiously: "Di Chen, what does that mean?"


    It was obvious that the third word had been erased. Earlier, when Di Chen found the < Origin of All Laws >, he mentioned this in the first part of the way of life, which meant that the right side should have originally been "Everything Grows", meaning that there should be "Everything Grows". However, the other words were still as clear as day, so why was the first "Life" erased?


    Di Chen had a bright idea. He took out a brush and dipped it in ink, preparing to add the word "Life" on the right side, but just as Di Chen was writing the first stroke of "Life", a majestic power entered his body and directly sent him flying. He rolled on the ground a dozen times before spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    "Di Chen," Qin Suer said as she hurriedly helped Di Chen up. "What''s going on?


    Di Chen wiped off the blood and gasped for breath: "I''m fine, but the array formation on the door is powerful, I''m afraid I won''t be able to force myself to leave a mark on the door unless I have Martial Saint Realm."


    In fact, Di Chen did not know that the formation had weakened considerably due to the ravaging of time. If it was a hundred thousand years ago, it would have required at least the War God Realm.


    Seeing that he was fine, Qin Suer heaved a sigh of relief, and anxiously said: "Then what do we do, this Murong Yue is quickly catching up."


    Di Chen propped himself up from the ground and laughed: "I have a way."


    He picked up the brush, and the power of the scholar in his body surged. He carefully wrote a stroke of the brush, and as expected, it was not bounced back by the energy, Di Chen was delighted, his thoughts were not wrong, only the literati could pass through the stone door, but the consumption of power for the scholar seemed to be too great, after Di Chen finished writing the first stroke, he used up a lot of power, and continued to write the second stroke.


    "Hu!" After about 10 minutes, Di Chen finally finished writing the word "Life". He let out a long breath, and completely exhausted all of the scholar''s power in his body.


    Just then, the stone door creaked open to the side. Di Chen was elated, thinking that his guess was right, it seems that someone had set up this array formation, if he had not seen the < Origin of All Arts >, he would not be able to go in.


    Di Chen looked around curiously. It was a small stone room, around 30 square meters, and right in front of him was a two meter tall stone statue, which was a woman wearing plain clothes and a dagger. The stone statue was extremely graceful and lifelike, and it seemed like the stone statue was an extremely beautiful woman, with nothing else other than the stone statue, it seemed like it was a secret training room.


    Qin Suer looked around: "Di Chen, there is no way out here, how do we leave?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "I don''t know either, I can only wait and see."


    Bang!


    At this moment, the sound of someone trying to break through the door came from outside.


    "Qin Suer, Di Chen, I know that the two of you are inside. Get out right now."


    Murong Yue bellowed, it seemed that she would not rest until she had killed Qin Suer and Di Chen, but with her cultivation, there was no way for her to force the door open.


    Di Chen did not expect her to catch up so quickly, so he was not worried, and laughed: "Come in if you have the ability."


    Murong Yue said coldly: "I''ll guard right here. I''ll see how long you can hide."


    Di Chen could not be bothered with her, but he kept hiding on the ground and took out the demonic beast that Cao Rouer had killed earlier. He began to revolve the energy in his body and quickly absorbed the energy, but since he did not have a breakthrough, he took out the Spirit Demon Pellet and started to absorb it. It was a little difficult to absorb the Spirit Demon Pellet, Di Chen had to take five hours to absorb a portion of the Spirit Demon Pellet.


    Di Chen took a deep breath. Previously, Cao Rouer had killed demonic beast s that were still level 6, and then he continued to absorb the high level demon cores. After another day, she finally absorbed all the demon cores and broke through to the fifth stage of Life Seizing Stage.


    Qin Suer had nothing to do during this period of time, so shshestood by the side and watched. When she saw that Di Chen had finished cultivating, he exclaimed: "Di Chen, what exactly is in your body, why are you cultivating so fast?"


    Previously, she had witnessed the scene of Di Chen rushing into the group of demonic beast to absorb them. A demonic beast was drying up at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, causing her to be terrified.


    Di Chen didn''t try to hide it from him and laughed: "Previously, I killed a demonic beast and discovered a Pearl of Life. This Pearl of Life can help me absorb the Demonic beast flesh and blood, and then transform it into my own energy to breakthrough into a realm."


    Qin Suer had a strange look on her face as she said, "No wonder you cultivate so fast and are quite strong. So it turns out that you are converting the demonic beast''s power into your own."


    Other people needed to train hard for a few years to break through an entire realm, but he only needed Demonic beast flesh and blood to cultivate, and they were strong as well.


    Di Chen shook his head: "You can''t say that, although I cultivate very fast and my strength is strong, I do not have any Origin Energy in my body, so I am not able to cultivate any cultivation techniques or secret techniques, and only use the brute strength to fight with others."


    A warrior''s cultivation technique was based on spirit energy, but Di Chen''s cultivation was different from others. He did not cultivate spirit energy, so he could be considered to have forcefully raised his realm, and was unable to cultivate his cultivation technique at all.


    Although Di Chen usually seemed to be able to defeat a lot of experts with his brute strength, but if he met a real expert, Di Chen would definitely not be able to fight them.


    Qin Suer came to a sudden realization: "No wonder why your writing was so powerful when you were fighting against others previously."


    Di Chen thought that although the number of literati in this world was few, it was not as if they did not exist. This kind of thing could not be hidden for long, and was his friend.


    Qin Suer nodded her head: "I have heard of him, Wen Sheng is..."


    After saying that, she looked at Di Chen in shock: "You can''t be saying that you are a literati, right?


    The literati was different from cultivators. If Di Chen was a literati, then it would explain why Di Chen''s moves did not have any Yuan Power undulations, but was so powerful.


    Di Chen smiled and nodded.


    It was only then that Qin Suer understood why Di Chen always brought along pen and paper wherever he went.


    "Ahh!"


    As the two talked, the stone statue by the side suddenly trembled, causing Di Chen to scream in fear, he quickly protected Qin Suer behind him as he stared at the stone statue vigilantly. The stone clothes on the outside of the stone statue were peeling off like old tree bark, revealing a woman in white, with a face like the moon, fair skin, and a nose like an almond-shaped immortal''s, giving others a sense of closeness to her.


    This was Di Chen''s first time seeing such a woman, even Shang Yu and Qin Suer couldn''t compare to his. He looked straight ahead, and subconsciously said, "She''s so beautiful."


    "Beautiful?" The woman carefully savored these two words, and stared at Di Chen for a long time before speaking, "I didn''t expect that after so many years, there would still be people who can enter?"


    Her voice was as gentle as water, but it sounded somewhat weak.


    Di Chen calmed himself down and tried his best to remain calm. He probed: "Senior, you are?"


    "I am," the woman sighed, as if she was reminiscing about the past. She was silent for a long time before she laughed, "My name is Yu Xuanji, I am the Sect Leader of this Eternal Gate."


    "You are the Sect Leader''s Sect Leader?" Di Chen was startled, and looked at Qin Suer with astonishment. He originally thought that the Sect Leader of the Eternal Gate would be an old man, but he did not expect it to be such a young and beautiful woman.


    Yu Xuanji laughed: "What, do I not resemble you?"


    Di Chen had a strange expression on his face: "I was just a little surprised, that''s all. I heard that this Eternal Gate is a sect that came from a hundred thousand years ago, how are you still alive as a Sect Leader?"


    There was an end to a person''s life, and even if one cultivated to War God, it was impossible for them to truly not die, but this girl looked like she was only 25 or 26 years old.


    Yu Xuanji explained: "Logically speaking, I should have died a long time ago, but I was sealed in this stone statue and my life had stopped flowing. To you, it''s 100,000 years, but to me, it''s as fast as the flick of a finger."


    "Sealed?" Di Chen suddenly thought of what Cao Rouer had said before about the Eternal Gate being exterminated overnight, and said in a daze: "The Eternal Gate was a great sect from a hundred thousand years ago, what happened to the Eternal Gate in the past?"


    Yu Xuanji heard the question with a serious face, "You are only at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and your profound strength is merely a scholar''s. It is best that you do not know about this."


    Di Chen thought to himself that being able to exterminate the Eternal Gate must be an extremely terrifying power, and with his own cultivation, he really didn''t have the qualifications to do so. After all, it had already been one hundred thousand years, and the secret had already been buried in the subterranean.


    However, he could guess that 100,000 years ago, something major had happened in the Martial Domain that was not recorded in any literature.

 C55

    "Oh, right," Yu Xuanji said, changing the topic, "What are you called? You must have seen our Eternal Gate''s¡¶ The Origin of All Techniques¡· right, otherwise you wouldn''t have come in."


    Di Chen nodded his head: "Junior is Di Chen, and this is Qin Suer. Previously, junior had indeed picked up a book of this nature from the outside, when I saw the interesting points of view in the book, I read the first book."


    Yu Xuanji said: Although this¡¶ Source of All Techniques¡· is not some cultivation technique, it contains all sorts of principles of nature, and can be considered a strange book. In the past, everyone in the Eternal Gate must have read it, and others might think that it is laughable for a martial artist to study it, but in past dynasties, there have been several dynasties where a martial artist could not just think of breaking through, but instead bind himself with a Dao, restrain himself with a Dao, and then be able to cultivate it. Only then can one not only cultivate it quickly, but also defend one''s heart, to prevent mistakes.


    Di Chen had always heard that there was a difference between a martial artist and a martial artist, and although warriors despised scholars, this was the first time they heard of this point of view.


    Martial arts contained the Dao. If one wanted to cultivate martial arts, then one needed to cultivate the Dao.


    If word of this got out, he would most likely be beaten to death by those martial cultivators ¡­


    Di Chen understood his reasoning and agreed: "Senior is right, martial arts can strengthen the body, literature and martial arts can strengthen the heart, only then can one achieve Dao."


    In this world, there were many people who did not cultivate martial arts, so there were many demonic cultivators and people who committed adultery and crimes. If one could understand the meaning of martial arts, then cultivating martial arts would definitely bring about disaster.


    "What an amazing art that can overpower the heart," Yu Xuanji couldn''t help but exclaim in admiration when he heard this: "No wonder you could become a literati;


    Speaking to here, she became a little agitated: "I''ve waited so many years for a suitable one. Di Chen, let me ask you, are you willing to become a Sect Leader of the Eternal Gate?"


    Di Chen cried out: "Senior, your words are too sudden, with my little cultivation, how can I become a Sect Leader?"


    He himself is just a child of a small clan. He came here to take the Sky Realm Academy examination, but you allowed someone to become a Sect Leader of an ancient sect?


    Eternal Gate Lord Di Chen, this title seemed somewhat shocking.


    Yu Xuanji laughed: "My cultivation has risen slowly, I can see that you are a talented person, and you have luck, I believe that your future is limitless, and if you agree, not only will I be able to teach you, all the cultivation techniques, pills, and weapons in Eternal Gate are yours, you can take them as you wish, Di Chen, the reason you are able to reach here is because of fate with my Eternal Gate, I believe in my judgement, what do you think, are you willing to inherit my position?"


    Di Chen still found it hard to accept such a sudden turn of events, he was just a small character, but suddenly he had become a Sect Leader of a large ancient sect. With an endless supply of pills, techniques, and weapons, it was not a good to be happy so quickly, and furthermore, he did not understand Yu Xuanji, so no one knew what her goal was, but when he glanced at Qin Suer, he was asking for her opinion.


    Qin Suer also did not expect Yu Xuanji to make such a decision. She thought to herself that since Di Chen was currently trapped here, he still needed Yu Xuanji''s help to get out. This Yu Xuanji was after all, a Sect Leader of the Eternal Gate.


    Di Chen naturally thought about what Qin Suer had said. Seeing that she agreed, he nodded and said, "Then I will temporarily take over from this Sect Leader. If there are suitable people in the future, I will still leave."


    Yu Xuanji laughed, and did not reply to his words.


    Bang!


    "Di Chen, Qin Suer, no matter how long it takes, I will definitely kill you two."


    At this time, Murong Yue''s voice came from outside.


    "This Murong Yue really has no end." Di Chen secretly cursed, and then looked at Yu Xuanji and asked: "Senior, can you help me deal with this person?"


    Yu Xuanji laughed bitterly: "Even though I am a Sect Leader, I am sealed here and cannot leave, so I cannot unleash my strength. Let alone a person with Lifestealer Realm, even if it''s an ordinary person you can kill me, but you don''t need my help either, she is at the seventh stage of Life Stealing Realm, and you are at the fifth stage of Life Seizing, and you are even a scholar with profound strength.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "If I had the confidence, I would have already gone out to kill her.


    Martial, Di Chen did not know any techniques, with just the brute strength, at most, he could only deal with people with six stages. Wen, Di Chen only had scholar''s double stage. His most powerful broken formula would at most be able to harm those at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Stage.


    Yu Xuanji laughed, and pointed to Di Chen''s bosom: "Aren''t you holding onto that¡¶ Source of All Techniques¡·, you can continue to break through the ranks of scholars."


    When Di Chen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He had previously forgotten about this matter, he immediately took out < The Origin of All Laws > and sat down cross-legged on the ground. Previously, when he was reading the first < Way of Survival >, he had broken through a few realms consecutively.


    "Don''t read the second chapter for now. You can look at the first chapter, ''The Way of Survival''."


    "Still looking at the first one?" Di Chen was startled, he secretly thought that Yu Xuanji must have his reason for saying this, he read the first part again, but this time he did not forget himself, the result being ¡­


    Without any insights, the scholar level had not increased!


    Di Chen thought that maybe there was something that he had not understood yet, so he read it again!


    No results!


    Continue reading, repeat again and again!


    "Human nature is greedy, it''s the fault of the world ¡­" The first "Way of Survival" was to attribute all the crimes to one''s own body, to justify the crimes of heaven and earth. It seemed reasonable and reasonable, but after careful consideration, one could not say how many innocent lives had been implicated, and not everyone was responsible, but the heavens and earth were guilty as well. Many people had died, and this so-called "punishment" had an indistinguishable meaning, it was said that the heavens and earth were innocent, if so, where did the displacement come from?


    Di Chen''s point of view was that the heavens and earth were heartless, that this point of view was human nature being greedy, and that the heavens and earth were innocent. It was two extremes, that was why Di Chen thought that his view was too narrow and narrow, magnifying the harm he had suffered.


    From a heaven and earth point of view, this point of view is very decent, but from a human point of view, this article is somewhat contemptuous of the heavens.


    "Heaven and earth are innocent, and so is man. All living things have their own laws. There are naturally calamities when there is joy, and there are naturally born and there are not. Heaven and Earth were not heartless, but they were also not evil. Humans were not good, but they were also not evil. In this life, no matter how miserable or happy you are, you will never complain to the heavens or flatter the earth. The so-called Way of Survival is not to obey your orders, nor to fight against the heavens or the earth, as some warriors say. "


    Di Chen suddenly seemed to be enlightened, his mind was much clearer, his previous point of view was extreme, but the points of view in this book were also extreme, the combination of the two was the true way of survival.


    Just then, Di Chen''s eyes released a ray of light, the power of the inscriptions in his body increased, directly dropping from the scholar''s double stage to the scholar''s fifth stage.


    "Raised so much?" Di Chen was pleasantly surprised. One must know that it was harder and harder to cultivate than before. Previously, when Di Chen was just a normal scholar, his cultivation realm had increased even faster.


    After all, this book was written by a human, and it represented a family''s point of view. A scholar had to have his own understanding of the book, otherwise, if one just followed the footsteps of others, it would be dangerous.


    To read, one must understand the logic. The word "understanding" is clear and straightforward. One must know the meaning of the word, rather than seeming to understand it.


    Yu Xuanji laughed: "Congratulations, looks like your cultivation has increased again."


    Di Chen asked: "Oh yes, who wrote this book?"


    Yu Xuanji asked curiously: "Did you find anything?"


    Di Chen said: "Before, I wrote an article, saying that the heaven and earth are heartless, but this article was actually flattery, I was relatively in agreement with this point of view at the start, but when I looked again, I realized that this point of view was actually quite extreme, this article kept on saying that the heaven and earth are merciful, that the heavens and the earth are kind, and that the heavens and the earth are created by them, and that there is no human without the world, which makes me feel that this article is like a brainwashing machine."


    Hearing that, Yu Xuanji was startled, he looked at Di Chen meaningfully, and his eyes were filled with praise: "I never thought that you would actually have such an understanding, it is not simple, this article is written in heaven, of course you have to praise yourself."


    "Heavens?" had a weird expression on his face. When he said that the heavens and earth referred to fate and the world, it was a kind of ethereal concept. But why did Yu Xuanji make it sound like the heavens and earth were one person?


    Was there life in the sky? The heavens can even write a book?


    Yu Xuanji laughed, and did not explain, at this time, her body started to be covered in a layer of stone clothes, and Yu Xuan immediately said, "Every time I come out, my time is limited, there''s not much time left today. Listen carefully, you are currently at the fifth stage of the scholar realm, and your martial arts are also at the fifth stage of the scholar realm. With your current cultivation, you should be able to defeat the lady outside ¡­"


    From her bosom, she took out a black order badge, on it were written the words "Eternity": "This is the Eternal Gate''s command medallion, you keep it, this command medallion can bring you to see me anytime you want, but do not easily show off this command medallion to others, never say that you are a Sect Leader of the Eternal Gate, work hard to raise your cultivation, when the time is right, I will tell you many things, you must remember, there will be a great calamity in the world, you must do not hesitate to break through to the Martial Saint."


    After saying this, she put on a new layer of clothes and her entire body was once again wrapped in the stone statue.


    He stared at the stone statue for a while. Although Yu Xuanji did not hurt him, Di Chen knew that she must have hidden a lot of things from him. What happened a hundred thousand years ago that caused the entire Eternal Gate to be annihilated overnight?


    Yu Xuanji said that there would be a disaster in this world, what kind of disaster was this? She said that¡¶ The Origin of All Things¡· was written by the heavens, so what did this sky represent?


    Di Chen had many questions he did not understand. Of course, just like Yu Xuanji said, with the cultivation level being too low, knowing too much might not be a good thing.

 C56

    "Su''er, we can leave now."


    Di Chen felt the power in his body and laughed: "Right now, I am only at the fifth stage of the scholar realm and the martial practitioner realm is at the fifth stage of the life reaping duels, so it isn''t difficult for the two of them to fight against a seventh stage Life Seizing Cultivator."


    It was very difficult for ordinary people to cross two small realms to kill someone, but this Martial Region Continent did not have many people who dual cultivated.


    Qin Suer continued, still breathing heavily, "This Murong Yue was the most excessive before. She wanted me to do all sorts of dangerous things, so I must kill her."


    Di Chen looked at Yu Xuanji''s stone statue, then opened the door and walked out. He did not know when he would return again, but the next time he would return, he would not be at his current cultivation level.


    When she opened the door, she saw Murong Yue standing outside, she was also surprised that Di Chen had come out, and said with killing intent: "Qin Suer, Di Chen, you two finally came out to die?"


    Di Chen did not attack immediately. Instead, he wanted to persuade her: "Murong Yue, I have no deep grudge with you, I don''t want to kill you. I suggest that you leave this place before I attack, if not you will regret it."


    Murong Yue laughed coldly: "Are you still putting on an act? It''s only been two days since you entered, do you think that after two days of training, you can defeat me?


    As he said that, he punched towards Di Chen, the wind brought with it a strong burst of pressure, causing pfft sounds to be heard in the air.


    Di Chen punched towards Murong Yue. This was a complete clash of power, with a loud sound, both of them were pushed back several steps at the same time, their strength actually equal.


    "What?" Murong Yue said with a face full of surprise, "You''ve already broken through to the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm?"


    Earlier, Di Chen was still trying to seize his life''s triple stage, and had broken through two small realms in just two days?


    It was extremely difficult to break through to every realm of a martial artist. Some people would need several months to break through to a small realm, and they would also need the support of a large amount of spirit herbs.


    "However, even though you''ve broken through two realms, I''m still two small realms ahead of you. How can your strength be on par with mine?"


    Murong Yue''s face was filled with incredulity, she no longer dared to be careless. She pointed at the center of her brows, and a ball of flames shot out from between her eyebrows, sweeping towards Di Chen.


    "Fire martial soul?" Amongst the martial soul, martial soul s were the easiest to form. Then, there was the Beast Soul Wu, and lastly, the natural type of martial soul, such as wind, fire, and lightning. For example, Di Chen''s martial spirit of light s were all self-attributed martial soul, and there were very few naturally type martial soul, but their power was generally very strong.


    "Slash!" The power of the scholar surged out from Di Chen''s body as he wrote the word "Slash" in the air. Wind spiralled around the word "Slash" as it chopped towards the flames like a blade.


    Puff!


    The word "cut" directly cut the flame from the center, and the flame slipped past Di Chen''s back like a big wave.


    "It can actually resist my fire martial soul?" was astonished. martial soul was the strongest move of all the Lifestealer Realm Warriors but this man had easily resisted his fire martial soul?


    Murong Yue was very clear that with her current cultivation, she would not be able to win against Di Chen, so she immediately turned and ran.


    Di Chen shouted loudly. His words were like ripples that spread out, and everything that ripples passed stopped.


    Murong Yue''s body trembled. She only felt as if a big hand was grabbing tightly onto her, and she couldn''t move at all. She struggled with all her might, but she was fundamentally unable to struggle free.


    At this time, Di Chen walked in front of Murong Yue and calmly looked at her without saying a word.


    "Di Chen," Murong Rong was truly afraid this time: "You can''t kill me."


    Di Chen said calmly: "Before, you guys took Su''er away by force, and did not care about her life or death, and did not care about how she felt, and you waited outside this secret room for a few days just to kill me.


    Murong Yue''s voice trembled: "I am a member of the Mu Rong family, if you kill me, the Mu Rong family will not let you go."


    It was said that this family was related to the Imperial Court, and the reason Murong Yue was able to enter the Sky Realm Academy was also because of this. Murong Yue was in the wrong, so of course she did not want to be unreasonable, and could only use the Mu Rong family to threaten Di Chen.


    Di Chen took a glance at Qin Suer. Before Qin Suer''s father was persecuted, she was also a minister in the imperial court, so maybe Qin Suer knew about the Mu Rong family''s background.


    Qin Suer nodded her head, "The Mu Rong family does indeed have some power within the imperial government, and the most famous one should be Murong Xuan. He is the youngest general of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and at the age of eighteen, he was bestowed the title of general. He has killed countless enemies and won hundreds of battles, and is an extraordinary person.


    Only now did Di Chen know that Murong Yue''s family was actually this strong. No wonder he was arrogant, despotic, and had a vicious heart, easily killing people, so he relied on her family''s power to be fearless.


    Murong Yue saw that Di Chen seemed to be hesitating before calming down, and was more confident than ever, she smiled: "If you kill me, our Mu Rong family will definitely exterminate you, but if you let me go, then maybe my Mu Rong family will even give you a position and allow you to enter the imperial court. If you want to cultivate, I have a large amount of resources, Di Chen, what about my suggestion?"


    Di Chen stared at Murong Yue for a while, then laughed: "If it was anyone else, I would have agreed, but you actually waited here for two days to kill me, and will not stop until you kill me, if I let you go, you might just turn around and kill me, furthermore this is the ruins of the Eternal Gate, it is normal for someone to die here, no one knows that I killed you."


    "You ¡­" Murong Yue originally thought that Di Chen would let his go, but when she heard these words, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. She knew that Di Chen was not threatened at all and begged, "Di Chen, don''t kill me.


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "Your attitude changed quite quickly. I told you to leave earlier, but you didn''t listen. You''re courting death, you can''t blame anyone else."


    With that said, Di Chen punched Murong Yue''s body, the fist instantly pierced through Murong Yue''s chest, and fresh blood flowed out.


    Murong Yue looked at Di Chen''s arm that pierced his chest in fear, his face was filled with hatred as he looked at Di Chen: "Di Chen, you will die a horrible death, my Murong Family will definitely ¡­"


    His voice became softer and softer, and he completely stopped talking.


    Di Chen activated his Pearl of Life and directly absorbed Murong Yue''s flesh and blood, but absorbing human flesh and blood did not have much effect on Di Chen''s cultivation, since the power contained in her flesh and blood was not strong enough.


    Qin Suer glanced at Murong Yue''s corpse. Just a moment ago, it was a beautiful woman, but in the blink of an eye she was absorbed into a shriveled corpse.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen finally left with Qin Suer, and after a few minutes they returned to the hall. There were already a few corpses in the hall, some of them had been smashed into meat, some of them had been cut into pieces, and some of them seemed to have been killed by the stone statue, while the other part was where they killed each other. Although the Eternal Temple was dangerous, there were still a lot of good things, so of course these people would fight over it.


    Qin Suer looked at the surrounding stone statues and asked: "Di Chen, these stone statues won''t attack us anymore, right?"


    Di Chen chuckled: "I''m currently Sect Leader, and all the formations around the Ten Thousand Stone Gate are useless against me. Let''s go, this Eternal Gate is very big, we need to look around first."


    The first passage was used to lead to Yu Xuanji''s cultivation grounds, which were a few others. At the end of each passage, there was a secret room, some were for pills, some were for weapons, and some were for storage. However, these rooms were all empty now, so it seems like they were taken by someone else.


    "The good stuff has already been taken away, what''s left are all useless trash," Di Chen sighed.


    This was actually a library, it was filled with rows upon rows of bookshelves filled with books, and no one actually took out any of these books. Due to the long period of time, many of the books had already rotted away, with a light touch, they turned into dust, but there were still a few that remained intact. When Di Chen looked at them, he realized that these books were originally not manuals at all, but rather books related to ethics.


    Qin Suer exclaimed: "This Eternal Gate is different from other sects. This is the first time I''ve seen a sect collecting so many philosophy books."


    Di Chen laughed: "I wonder who this Eternal Gate was created by, but it''s too bad that this person is already ancient, if there''s a chance to meet him again, it would definitely be a beautiful occasion."


    If not, then why did he collect so many books, many of these books would have already been lost to him. This¡¶ The Beginning of the Martial Domain¡· was a book that introduced the origins of the Martial Region Continent, but the things that were left behind were just a few articles within the book.


    "Su''er," Di Chen smiled and said, "Help me look around everywhere and keep the books that were kept whole. These books are all treasures."


    To warriors, these books were useless, but to Di Chen, these books were priceless treasures, so he was afraid that these books were already useless, and should not be lost.


    There were a total of thirty books, there were still many books that only had a few pieces of writing left, the pages were also in tatters, the books that scholars would cherish the most, especially those books which were written by famous ancient experts. These books contained innumerable Daos, and it could be said that they were more important than any of the weapons or techniques.


    Di Chen looked at the broken book and thought: Su''er, I''m afraid you''ll have to accompany me here for a while.


    Qin Suer looked at Di Chen with suspicion.

 C57

    Di Chen laughed: "I want to copy books, if only these books will be lost again, that would be a pity."


    Qin Suer laughed: "I''m fine anyway, I''ll accompany you however much you want to."


    Di Chen took out an ink stone and a piece of paper to let Qin Suer grind the ink. Then, he spread a piece of white paper on the table and took out a pen to start copying the books, carefully flipping through the pages, concentrating on copying the books, his hands quickly moving across the paper, one character after another appearing on the paper. After copying, he changed the page and slowly accumulated the paper on the table.


    As time passed, the secret chamber was still filled with dark light. It was unknown just how much time had passed.


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen suddenly let out a long breath, put down the brush, shook off his aching arms, and moved his stiff body. Although his body was tired, his spirit was full, the power of the scholar in his body had increased by a lot, but it had not reached the stage where he could break through into the Scholar''s six stages. Cultivating to the final stage of the Scholar''s Realm was not enough for one to write, one still needed to read more, read more books and understand.


    "Di Chen," Qin Suer asked. "You''re not going to copy it?"


    Di Chen asked: "How many books have I copied?"


    Qin Suer looked and said, "You only copied three, there are still a lot more."


    Di Chen rubbed his still sore neck and said: "I''ll stop reading for now, my body is weaker, so I don''t have the energy to copy too many books. Take away these books, I will go back and slowly copy them, find Cao Yuer and the others first."


    On one hand, the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment was about to begin, and on the other hand, he was also worried that Cao Yuer and the others might be in danger, so he had to find them quickly. The two packed their stuff together and left the secret room.


    At a certain location in the Eternal Heaven Hall.


    Li Xin''s palm struck Cao Yuer''s body and directly sent him flying. Cao Yuer spat out a mouthful of blood and laid on the ground, unable to move.


    "Cao Yuer, I want to see who else can help you this time," Not long after Cao Yuer and Cao Rouer left, Li Xin left the place, and because Li Xin had always hated how she defeated her, she came to kill her intentionally. Although Cao Yuer had swallowed the Spirit Opening Pill, but during this period of time, she had not cultivated, and her cultivation was still at the fourth stage of Life Seizing, how could she be a match for Li Xin, and he was quickly treated as seriously injured by her.


    Cao Yuer gnashed her teeth, and said angrily: "Li Xin, before, it was clearly you who wanted to steal my medicinal pellet. You were in the wrong.


    Li Xin laughed coldly, "So what if I''m excessive? This is the Martial Region Continent, the weak have no right to survive at all. If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for being too weak."


    As he said that, he pounced towards Cao Yuer, with a palm striking fiercely towards him, it seemed like he wanted to kill Cao Yuer.


    Cao Yuer''s face changed, her entire body was injured, how could she withstand this attack?


    Right at that moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of Cao Yuer, and welcomed him with a palm.


    Pow!


    Li Xin was immediately thrown away by the force, even her bones were broken.


    "Who?" Li Xin looked at him angrily, and upon seeing him clearly she said in shock: "It''s you, Murong Yue did not kill you?"


    Earlier, Li Xin clearly saw Murong Yue chase after Di Chen, but now that Di Chen was standing right here, why couldn''t Murong Yue kill him?


    "Di Chen," Cao Yuer''s face revealed a happy expression, as long as Di Chen came, she would be relieved.


    Di Chen did not care about Li Xin, and helped him up, then smiled: "Are you alright?"


    Cao Yuer shook her head. Although she was injured, he was still very happy, "You came at the right time, and I''m fine. I''m just injured.


    When she thought about this, her face was filled with anger as she pointed at Li Xin and said angrily: "Di Chen, help me kill her. You don''t know how many days this Li Xin has been chasing me for."


    Di Chen nodded, and then looked calmly at Li Xin. He could tell that this Li Xin was someone who also had a heavy heart for revenge, and she already knew that she had secretly helped Cao Yuer defeat her last time.


    Li Xin was so frightened that her face changed. She knew that she was not Di Chen''s match, so she turned around and ran. Di Chen wrote the word "cut" with one finger, and the word cut through Li Xin''s body like a knife. With a "chi" sound, she directly split Li Xin into two.


    Even though Cao Yuer knew that she was not Di Chen''s match, the fact that Di Chen could kill Li Xin so quickly still shocked Cao Yuer.


    "Di Chen," Cao Yuer said in a daze, "Your strength seems to have increased quite a bit. This Li Xin is at the fifth stage of Life Seizing."


    Di Chen laughed, "That''s right, I broke through to the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm."


    He did not say that he was a scholar of the fifth level, and there was no need to say such things.


    "So fast." He had only taken his life''s triple stage when Cao Yuer had met Di Chen, but how long had it been since he had consecutively broken through two small realms?


    Even the cultivation of the people on the Destiny Decree in the Sky Realm Academy couldn''t have risen so fast.


    Actually, although Di Chen was at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, he was only strong. He did not know any martial skills, so if it was purely based on his identity as a martial artist, many people could kill him. It was just that Li Xin was not that strong.


    "That''s right," Di Chen asked: "Where''s your sister, we have to leave this place quickly. The Sky Realm Academy''s examination is about to begin."


    Cao Yuer shook her head: "My sister and I have separated, and I don''t know where they are right now either. But since I was young, my sister and I have had a telepathic connection, and I can faintly feel where he is.


    Di Chen then followed Cao Yuer in one direction. This Eternal Gate was very big, there were broken pavilions everywhere, all of them used to be training grounds for the clan elders, and now they had long been reduced to ruins, and there were many corpses on the ground. Di Chen did not know what happened in the past, how many experts died so thoroughly, but there were many array formations laid here, and they did not have any effects.


    "A lot of people died." Along the way, they saw a lot of corpses. Some of them died under the original formation, while some of them died by others'' hands. Even in such dangerous situations, they would still kill each other.


    "Hmm?" Not long after that, Di Chen suddenly heard the sound of fighting from in front of him, and a few of them immediately rushed over, they saw a lady fighting against three stone statues at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and the lady was actually Liu Jingjing! Although Liu Jingjing was only at the eighth stage of Life Stealing, her strength was actually comparable to the three stone statues at the ninth stage, it had to be known that the Eternal Gate''s stone statues were different from the others, as one of the eight stage could fight against three stone statues at the ninth stage, it was extremely powerful.


    "It''s her?" Cao Yuer remembered this Liu Jingjing, she was with Huang Ting and the others earlier. Although she hadn''t spoken a word, she did not like him.


    Qin Suer asked: "Di Chen, what do we do?"


    Di Chen looked at Liu Jingjing calmly, and thought for a while: "Although this woman is one stage higher than Murong Yue, she is more than just a little stronger, I am afraid that I cannot win against her, since we do not have much hatred between us, let her not matter."


    The reason why he did not bother with Liu Jingjing was because Di Chen could not see through her. He kept having the feeling that this woman was even more dangerous than Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan.


    The three of them circled around Liu Jingjing and continued to leave.


    "Di Chen," Liu Jingjing suddenly said: "Help me."


    Di Chen stopped in his tracks, he did not expect her to open his mouth to save him, and laughed: "You were preparing to kill us earlier, why should I save you?"


    Liu Jingjing said: "That is because Huang Ting has enmity with you, and it has nothing to do with me. You saw it too, I did not make a move on you."


    Of course, Di Chen would not think that way. This Liu Jingjing was also a dangerous person, it was best to avoid contact as much as possible.


    Seeing that he was not going to save her, Liu Jingjing anxiously shouted, "You save my life, I will give you a copy of < Destiny >."


    "Heaven''s Mandate?" It was said that he was a Scholar who had written < Destiny >. This¡¶ Destiny''s Mandate > had been widely spread in the past, half of the students in the Martial Region Continent would read this book, and in the imperial examinations, half of the scholars would take it as a test content. However, because of this, people in the imperial court would view this book as a forbidden book, and thus, the¡¶ Destiny''s Destiny > had not been inherited by the Emperor since long ago.


    There were many rich and powerful ancient scholars, many books had already been lost, and some of them could only be left alone in the palace, Di Chen naturally did not have the chance to read them, his heart was filled with regret, this¡¶ Heaven''s Mandate¡· was one of them.


    "Is that true?" "This'' Destiny ''is a forbidden book, how could you have it?"


    Di Chen did not dare believe it, but he still held onto a glimmer of hope.


    Liu Jingjing saw that Di Chen''s heart was moved and anxiously said: "You do not need to care how I obtained this book, first save me, I cannot hold on any longer, I promise I will not lie to you."


    Cao Yuer retorted: "Di Chen, don''t believe this Liu Jingjing, who knows if she''s intentionally lying to you to save her, if you save her, she might actually kill us, furthermore, this'' Destiny''s Mandate ''is just a forbidden book, it''s not some cultivation manual, it''s useless even if you want it."


    She did not know that Di Chen was a scholar who relied on reading to cultivate. This¡¶ Fate¡· was a mysterious book, if there was a chance, how could Di Chen miss it?


    Qin Suer explained: "You don''t know, Di Chen has loved to study since he was young, so which scholar would miss out on such an ancient mysterious book like¡¶ Destiny¡·?"


    Cao Yuer had a weird look on her face. She thought, it''s my first time seeing a warrior who likes to read books, reading books is a waste of time.

 C58

    Cao Yuer thought that this¡¶ Mandate of Heaven¡· was perhaps very important to Di Chen, so she didn''t think that it was appropriate to advise him otherwise.


    "Su''er, Yu''er, the two of you stay here," Di Chen warned as he rushed to Liu Jingjing''s side.


    Seeing Di Chen rushing over, Liu Jingjing heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "You just have to think of a way to help me delay one stone statue, after I finish off the other two, I''ll come and help you."


    It would be difficult for her to handle three stone statues alone, but it would be much easier for her to handle two stone statues. She only needed Di Chen to buy her some time.


    "No need," Di Chen shook his head and took out the order badge. Then, the stone statues that were rushing towards the two of them suddenly stopped, their movements slowly becoming stiff and lifeless, as though they were just ordinary stone statues.


    "Hmm?" Liu Jingjing was startled. She had initially wanted to get rid of the two stone statues as soon as possible, but Di Chen had actually gotten rid of all of them by himself?


    Liu Jingjing asked doubtfully: "Di Chen, could this be the move you used against Li Xin back then? But how can you imprison the stone statue that is at the ninth stage of Life Stealing?"


    Di Chen shook his order badge and laughed: "This is the order badge I picked up previously, it seems to be able to trap these stone statues."


    He lied and did not say that it was the order of the Eternal Gate. Only the Sect Leader s could use it.


    Liu Jingjing looked at the surrounding stone statues, the stone statues did not emit any spirit energy at all. She thought to herself that the Eternal Gate was an ancient sect, since they had this stone statue, they naturally had their own methods of controlling it.


    "Oh, that''s right." Di Chen put away the Millennium Decree and said: "What you said just now still counts, right?"


    Liu Jingjing nodded his head: "I, Liu Jingjing, am someone who keeps my promises, but of course I won''t bring this kind of book with me. Don''t worry, I will give it to you after we leave."


    Di Chen did not doubt those words, and thought for a while: "Then before that, you cannot die, how about this, you come with us?"


    If he did this, it would also be because he was worried that Liu Jingjing would not accept her debt in the future, it would be better to act together. He was also not worried that Liu Jingjing would kill her, since she was injured.


    Liu Jingjing obviously knew what Di Chen was thinking, and was a little hesitant, as she knew that Di Chen would definitely go and find Cao Rouer. Although she had no enmity with Cao Rouer, but she was with him earlier, so if Cao Rouer wanted to kill her, it would be troublesome, but she was currently injured, so it would be dangerous for her if she did not act together with Di Chen.


    Di Chen waved his hands at Cao Yuer and Cao Yuer, summoning the two of them over, explaining his plan of action to Liu Jingjing. Qin Suer was fine, it was just that Cao Yuer was not satisfied with it, but she was not familiar with Di Chen, so she could not say anything about it.


    "Oh, right," Liu Jingjing asked as they walked, "Are you really literati?"


    Di Chen was startled, he thought that since she asked this question, he must have guessed it, so he did not hide it anymore: "I am."


    Liu Jingjing looked to be not surprised at all, "No wonder your body doesn''t have any Yuan Power, but your strength is comparable to a Lifestealer Realm Ranker''s. I know that there are quite a few literati s in this world, but I never expected that you were right."


    Previously, the reason why Liu Jingjing was willing to take < Destiny > was to guess that Di Chen was a literati, so he gave up on using medicinal pellets as a condition, and chose to use a book as a condition.


    "literati?" This was the first time Cao Yuer had heard of this, and she asked with suspicion, "Di Chen, what is a literati?"


    Di Chen explained: "A warrior cultivates spirit energy, and the literati is the power of the characters. This kind of power cannot be obtained through pills, only through reading and comprehending life, it is similar to a type of spirit energy."


    It''s no wonder you were so engrossed in reading previously. Then, wouldn''t those scholars who took the Imperial Examinations were all from literati? But why are they so weak, so much weaker than ordinary people? "


    Scholars had always been in a weak position in the Martial Region Continent and were looked down by others. There was no use in being a scholar in the Martial Region Continent, it was definitely the truth.


    Liu Jingjing explained: "Those students who are taking the Imperial Examinations are only scholars, they cannot comprehend power from the books, you must know that the literati is thousands of times more difficult than martial arts, so among the ten thousand students in this world, the most they have is at most one language, and they aren''t very strong either. I can see that Di Chen is very powerful, and people like him are definitely of different genre."


    Cao Yuer looked at Di Chen strangely, and said doubtfully: "But shouldn''t scholars be weak? How can Di Chen be so strong? I saw him fight against a Level 5 Cracked mosquito beast earlier."


    Only warriors would have a body as strong as a demonic beast''s, but Di Chen also seemed to have the power of a demonic beast, and Di Chen had clearly said earlier that he was from the Lifestealer Realm Realm.


    Liu Jingjing had never seen Di Chen fight before, so she did not know Di Chen''s cultivation level. Her face was filled with surprise, Di Chen who seemed gentle and weak, actually had such a strong power?


    Di Chen laughed: "There is a Pearl of Life in my body that can absorb the demonic beast''s flesh and blood and convert their power into its own, so I have the demonic beast''s power, but in reality I do not have any spirit energy, I am not allowed to practice cultivation technique manuals."


    Everyone then realised, although Di Chen did not know any techniques, he could withstand the attacks of some experts with his bare hands, his strength was abnormal, it seemed like Di Chen had some good fortune.


    He could not practice cultivation technique, but he had obtained a Pearl of Life. How many people dreamed for this Pearl of Life?


    "That''s right," Liu Jingjing asked curiously. "Then do you have a martial soul''s soul?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I have martial soul, but it''s still a bit troublesome to use my martial soul, I won''t say anymore ¡­"


    After saying all that, he then changed the topic and asked Cao Yuer: "Did you sense your sister?"


    Cao Yuer nodded her head: "The reaction is getting stronger and stronger, she should be right in front, but she seems to be in danger, we have to go faster."


    Di Chen immediately quickened his pace.


    Liu Jingjing could tell that Di Chen did not seem to be willing to say much, and couldn''t help but be curious. Someone who couldn''t cultivate soul force like him actually had a martial soul, what exactly was it?


    Di Chen''s martial soul was a natural type, so it had a stronger might. But using the power of the martial soul was more troublesome, it needed more light, so the stronger the light, the stronger the light, it was impossible to use in such a dark place, but the martial spirit of light was special, it was not possible to use such a strong power in the entire continent, so it was better to keep a low profile. Di Chen could take a warrior''s martial soul, but there were too many powerful experts in the Martial Region Continent, so if someone had ideas about Di Chen, he would definitely die, since he did not have a backer.


    Somewhere in Eternal Gate.


    In front of them stood Huang Ting, Huang Zhan and Yu Xiuyuan. Huang Zhan''s strength was stronger than Cao Fei, but as for Yu Xiuyuan and Huang Ting, if they worked together, of course they would be stronger than Cao Rouer.


    "I have no enmity with you, yet you chased us for several days and insisted on killing us. Don''t go overboard."


    Cao Rouer was furious when she thought about how these few people had chased him all the way to heaven and hell these days.


    Huang Zhan snorted: "You still say there are no grievances, you cheated and won our pills, if I don''t kill you all, I swear I won''t kill you all."


    Cao Fei bellowed: That pill was originally something Yu''er found first, but you guys want to snatch it away? Why are you looking for excuses after losing the competition?


    In Cao Fei''s opinion, the competition shouldn''t have been held. So what if they were cheating?


    Huang Ting said coldly: "It''s useless to continue talking about this now, you must all die."


    Cao Rouer then looked at Yu Xiuyuan and asked, "What grievances do you and I have with each other?


    Yu Xiuyuan said: That Di Chen fellow killed Yang Yue and Ling Fei, I want to kill him, but you insisted on saving him, you meddled with my matters first, you are seeking death, Cao Rouer, you can''t count on us to let you go, today we will kill all of you.


    The few of them seemed to be too lazy to continue talking as they rushed forward together. Terrifying elemental energy rushed towards everyone like big wave s.


    Cao Rouer and Cao Fei''s face were filled with fear, this time the two of them really could not escape.


    "Stop." However, at this moment, a dignified voice rang out.


    Everyone froze. Yu Xiuyuan and Huang Ting could still struggle free, but Huang Zhan was unable to move, as if a pair of big hands was grabbing onto his body. In that way, Cao Rouer and Cao Fei would immediately open up a distance between each other and dodge the attack.


    "Who?" Yu Xiuyuan looked at him coldly.


    Just then, Di Chen, Cao Yuer and Qin Suer rushed over.


    Cao Yuer saw the worry on Cao Rouer and Cao Fei''s faces as they were heavily injured: "Big sister, second brother, are you alright?"


    Cao Rouer was not happy that Cao Yuer came to save her. She said anxiously: "Yu''er, why have you come?


    Her gaze landed on Di Chen again, "Di Chen, hurry up and bring Cao Yuer along, I will think of a way to stop them."


    In Cao Rouer''s opinion, even if Di Chen''s group of three were present, they would still not be a match for Huang Ting. After all, Qin Suer was just an ordinary warrior and would not be able to help.


    Just then, Liu Jingjing walked over from another direction. Seeing her, Cao Rouer''s face changed, although Liu Jingjing was at the eighth stage of Life Seizing, the entire Sky Realm Academy knew that she had the strength to kill a ninth stage Life Stealing expert. She was an oddity, and even if she fought Cao Rouer one-on-one, she did not have confidence.


    Liu Jingjing, Huang Ting, Yu Xiuyuan, how could the three of them still have any chance of survival if they were to join hands with Cao Rouer?


    Cao Fei was also anxious to persuade her: "Yu''er, listen to big sister, leave quickly."


    How could Cao Yuer bear to leave Cao Rouer behind? She immediately shook her head.


    Cao Rouer knew Cao Yuer''s personality, she was stubborn to the point that no one could change her mind, but she also knew that since Cao Yuer had come, she would not be able to leave, so how could Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan let her go?

 C59

    "Cao Yuer," Huang Zhan suddenly thought of something bad and anxiously asked: "I ask you, Li Xin went to chase you earlier, where is she?"


    If Cao Yuer was here, would it be that Li Xin was dead?


    Cao Yuer did not hide anything: "If she wanted to kill me, she would have died in my hands instead. She deserves it."


    "What?" You killed Li Xin? " Huang Zhan and Li Xin''s relationship was very close, he never thought that Li Xin would die under his hands. Clenching his fist, Huang Zhan roared angrily, "All of you deserve to die, I was originally worried about how to kill all of you, but you all delivered yourself to my doorstep."


    The battle could not be decided by numbers, but by the cultivation of each person. No matter how many people at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Cultivators there were, they would never be able to defeat a person at the ninth stage of Life Stealing, so in Huang Zhan''s opinion, it would be useless even if Di Chen and the others came.


    Cao Yuer choked: "If you want to fight, just fight, don''t tell me we are afraid of you?"


    Although she said that, she knew that if they really fought, she wouldn''t be Huang Zhan''s match.


    Yu Xiuyuan suddenly thought of Murong Yue, and his gaze landed on Di Chen: "Murong Yue went to chase you earlier, where is she?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Her legs are on her body, how would I know where she is? Maybe she found some cultivation technique or pills to cultivate."


    Although Di Chen did not say it explicitly, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Murong Yue had been killed by Di Chen.


    Yu Xiuyuan didn''t know how Di Chen was able to kill a person at the seventh stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm. He was too lazy to think about it either.


    Yu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, and his expression became sinister: "You actually killed Yue''er, you really deserve to die."


    "Jingjing," Huang Ting shouted as he looked at her, "You came at the right time, so let''s kill these people together."


    As he spoke, he rushed towards Cao Rouer.


    With Huang Ting, Yu Xiuyuan and the others, it was more than enough to deal with them. And now with Liu Jingjing, no matter what angle they looked at it from, Cao Rouer and the others would definitely die this time.


    Cao Rouer looked at Huang Ting who was rushing towards him and her heart turned cold, as if she did not have any thoughts of resisting.


    But right at that moment, Liu Jingjing suddenly stood in front of Cao Rouer, her palm striking Huang Ting, both of their palms striking him, causing the two of them to be pushed back several steps at the same time.


    "Hmm?" Huang Ting was shocked: "Jingjing, what are you doing?"


    Cao Rouer also did not expect this scene. Liu Jingjing had clearly been moving together with Huang Ting, how could she save?


    Liu Jingjing was silent for a moment, then said: "Huang Ting, I am truly sorry, earlier Di Chen saved my life, I promised to move with him, of course I can''t just watch as you kill them."


    "What?" Liu Jingjing was even stronger than an average warrior of the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm. How could Di Chen save her if she met with any danger? More importantly, Di Chen and Liu Jingjing belonged to different factions, why would Di Chen save her?


    Huang Zhan said angrily: "Liu Jingjing, before we came, we agreed to move together, how could you betray us?"


    Liu Jingjing said calmly: "We did indeed move together earlier, but now that I''ve changed teammates, I am truly sorry. Seeing that we have moved together previously, I do not wish to make things difficult for you all, you can leave."


    Yu Xiuyuan would not give up killing Cao Rouer and the others just because of Liu Jingjing''s betrayal, and snorted: "So what if you, Liu Jingjing, helped them? I don''t believe that an eighth stage Life Seizing Cultivator like you can do anything to me."


    Liu Jingjing calmly looked at Yu Xiuyuan, and didn''t say a word.


    Huang Ting blocked Yu Xiuyuan and reminded him: "This Liu Jingjing is definitely not weaker than the two of us. If they were to fight, both of us would definitely suffer.


    Liu Jingjing and Cao Rouer could deal with Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan, but the other side still had Di Chen, so if Di Chen was able to kill Murong Yue, he could naturally kill him as well. At that time, if he went to help Cao Rouer, he would be in a disadvantageous position, because he knew that if they really fought, they would very likely lose.


    Yu Xiuyuan shot a glance at Liu Jingjing and Di Chen, and gave up in the end, "You two better remember this, I will definitely kill you two."


    Of course he knew what Huang Ting meant, and then he turned and left.


    Cao Yuer said angrily: "These fellows are obviously afraid of us, that''s why they escaped, why didn''t you guys kill them? If you miss this chance, it won''t be easy the next time you want to kill them."


    Cao Rouer shook her head: "Even though we have the upper hand now, but if we fight, you guys will also be in danger.


    would naturally not be in any danger when fighting him, but if Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan were to go all out to kill Cao Yuer, she would definitely die, and Cao Rouer could see that Liu Jingjing did not want to kill them, so she would not act rashly.


    Di Chen laughed: "There''s no need to rush to kill them. The most important thing is to get out."


    Cao Fei said with a bitter smile, "But how do we get out? We''re currently in the subterranean, and we don''t even see the exit."


    A terrifying suction force sucked everyone into it, and after a few breaths of time, everyone opened their eyes again and returned to the ground. This was the place where they were sucked in previously, and the surroundings were completely empty, and the bodies of the people who were killed previously had also disappeared. It seemed like they were buried in the subterranean, but the gigantic sword was still stuck in the ground.


    "We''re out?" Cao Fei looked around in surprise and joy. It was really not easy to come out of there alive.


    Cao Yuer said with a strange expression on her face: "How did we come out? Could it be that we triggered some kind of array?"


    Cao Rouer also did not understand why so many people had been randomly drawn into the Eternal Gate and now that everyone had been sent out, what exactly was going on?


    Di Chen touched the Eternal Token that was hidden on his chest, thinking that it must be related to the badge, but if he wanted to go in in the future, it would be very difficult, but after this incident, probably no one would want to enter the Eternal Gate anymore, since the Eternal Gate was very dangerous, but there was nothing of value.


    Cao Fei was still a little afraid when he thought about what happened before, and scolded: "In the future, if you beg me, I won''t be coming anymore, this time, other than Yu''er getting a Spirit Opening Pill, we didn''t get anything else, and we almost died here. It''s not worth it."


    Cao Rouer said: This is very normal, most of the ancient sects'' locations are definitely dangerous, but Eternal Gate did not discover any useful techniques, weapons, or pills, as though Eternal Gate had already been washed clean by someone, this is rather surprising, and from the looks of it, there are many corpses, and from the looks of it, part of them were taken to the Eternal Gate to search for treasures, but most of them died relatively long ago, so they should have been disciples of the Eternal Gate. What happened in the Eternal Gate back then, where everyone was killed in one night?


    All these people died in the Eternal Gate, which meant the Eternal Gate was under attack, but the Eternal Gate was one of the top ten sects, who could destroy the Eternal Gate in one night?


    There were no records in the current history books, but there must have been something that had long since been submerged in history a hundred thousand years ago.


    Cao Fei said indifferently: "That is a matter from a hundred thousand years ago, whatever that happens, it has nothing to do with us. I will go and retrieve the sword, at least I still have some harvest."


    With that, he walked over to the giant sword and grabbed it by the hilt. He gritted his teeth as he tried to pull the sword out, but the sword did not budge and he could not pull it out with all his strength.


    "This ¡­" Cao Fei''s face was bitter, it was not easy to realize that he was unable to pull out a sword, he looked at Cao Rouer and said: "Big sister, your realm is higher, why don''t you try it?"


    Cao Rouer also went over to give it a try, but surprisingly Cao Rouer was unable to do so.


    Cao Fei said with a sullen face: "You are the strongest here, if you can''t even pull it out, then there won''t be anyone who can."


    Cao Yuer laughed as she looked at Di Chen: "Di Chen, you should also go and try."


    Cao Fei snorted: "Although his strength is not bad, but his body does not have any spirit energy, so even my Big Sis cannot take him out, how can he?"


    He still hated her because of Di Chen and Shang Yu''s relationship, even though he had previously saved everyone.


    Cao Yuer looked at Cao Fei in dissatisfaction: "You''re just jealous of Di Chen, Di Chen, don''t worry about him, this guy is so annoying, go and try."


    Di Chen did not immediately give it a try. Instead, he looked at Liu Jingjing and said, "Your cultivation realm is higher than mine, why don''t you try it first."


    Liu Jingjing laughed and shook his head. On one hand, she knew that she was unable to pull it out, and on the other hand, she was not interested in the sword.


    Di Chen then walked to the front of the sword and grabbed onto the sword hilt. Originally, he thought he would have to use a lot of strength, but he did not expect himself to easily pull the sword out.


    "He pulled it out?" Cao Fei was startled, this Di Chen''s cultivation was not very high, how did he manage to pull it out?


    This sword was naturally Di Chen''s, so the sword would be his. This time, he truly did not have any gains.


    Cao Rouer and Liu Jingjing were also slightly surprised, but Cao Yuer had a face full of joy, she did not care how Di Chen pulled it out, as Qin Suer had already thought that Di Chen could pull it out, after all, he was a Sect Leader of the Eternal Gate.


    Di Chen''s hand that was holding the sword started to ache. He started to ponder as he observed the sword: "This sword is very heavy and does not suit me, but it suits a friend of mine."


    This friend was naturally Lin Tao, he had been stronger than most since childhood. These days, Lin Tao had been taking the One Breath Forging Bone Pill, so his meridians must have been rejuvenated. If he could cultivate again, this sword would be a gift to him.


    Cao Yuer laughed: "Di Chen, I knew that you could pull it out, let''s go down the mountain."


    Cao Rouer saw that Cao Yuer was actually so happy that she looked at him for herself, and raised her eyebrows slightly, she knew of the relationship between Di Chen and Shang Yu, but now that Cao Yuer clearly had feelings for Di Chen, she was afraid that this young lady who had just started her relationship, would be in trouble in the future.

 C60

    After a few hours, everyone left the Thousand Monster Mountain, there was no need for them to travel together anymore.


    At the foot of the mountain, Liu Jingjing looked at Di Chen and asked, "Where do you live?


    Di Chen said: "Yue Lai, Sky No. 1 Room."


    Liu Jingjing nodded, then bid farewell to Di Chen, turned and walked away, not leaving a single thought behind, as though after they had parted ways in her eyes, they were all strangers again, and even though they had experienced life and death together, we were still not friends.


    Cao Yuer looked at Liu Jingjing''s back with dissatisfaction: "This Liu Jingjing is very powerful and mysterious. There are many teachers in the sect who like her, but I don''t like her.


    She did not like Liu Jingjing maintaining a close relationship with him, but in reality, Liu Jingjing was not welcomed by women in the Sky Realm Academy.


    Di Chen laughed: "I don''t really like this Liu Jingjing either, she seems to be very smart, to be able to see through others with a glance, I feel that it''s too tiring to be with such a person."


    This was reasonable, no one knew that Di Chen was a literati previously, but Liu Jingjing was able to tell with a single glance, that it was indeed too dangerous to deal with an intelligent person.


    Cao Rouer asked: "Di Chen, in two days time, Sky Realm Academy''s examination will begin. I believe you will also participate."


    Di Chen nodded and said: "I came to the Millennium City to participate in the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment."


    Cao Yuer laughed heartily: "That''s great, Di Chen, I will also be participating in the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment, at that time, we will have some help to take care of each other."


    Di Chen laughed and said: "Then, we shall advance and retreat together."


    In truth, Di Chen did not need Cao Yuer''s help to pass the Sky Realm Academy''s examination. Only, she knew that although Cao Yuer had taken the Spirit Opening Pill, it was still too short of a time for his to cultivate, and without his help, he would probably be unable to pass the Sky Realm Academy''s examination. Naturally, she would not helplessly watch as Cao Yuer passed the examination, if there was a chance, he would still need to help her a little.


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, Cao Rouer was a lot more relieved, and said: "Di Chen, then we will be leaving, the Sky Realm Academy assessment is around the corner, I still have to properly supervise Yu''er''s cultivation."


    Hearing this, Cao Yuer immediately cried. She knew the consequences of being urged by Cao Rouer, but she didn''t have a choice.


    "Di Chen, I''m leaving," Cao Yuer said goodbye to Di Chen reluctantly. If it was possible, she did not want to leave Di Chen, but Cao Rouer would not agree.


    Somewhere in Millennium City.


    "This Liu Jingjing really deserves to die, she actually dared to betray me. I will regret it sooner or later."


    Huang Ting had acted together with Liu Jingjing in the beginning. Although Liu Jingjing was not his subordinate, he still viewed Liu Jingjing turning the tables on him as betraying him.


    Yu Xiuyuan said in a low voice: "Forget about this Liu Jingjing, she doesn''t belong to any camp in the first place, when you tried to win her over I already felt that it was inappropriate. This time, the most important person is not Liu Jingjing, but that guy called Di Chen.


    After all, Di Chen had killed Murong Yue and stopped them from killing Cao Rouer and the others. He was still a little angry just thinking about it.


    "That''s right," Huang Zhan said. "With Cao Yuer''s strength, she simply cannot kill Li Xin. When Cao Yuer and Di Chen were together earlier, I guessed that it was Di Chen who killed Li Xin.


    Yu Xiuyuan shot a glance at Huang Zhan and said, "He is currently at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm and his cultivation technique is very special too. Even I can''t tell, how are you going to kill him?"


    Huang Zhan laughed coldly: "If it was before, I would have had no choice, but now it is different ¡­"


    Saying this, he flipped open a scroll with one hand. "This is something that I obtained from my previous life in Eternal Gate, I only need to learn this high grade Profound Rank skill and it will be easy for me to kill him.


    "What?" Yu Xiuyuan was shocked, one must know that the Eternal Gate''s High Ranked [Dark Ranked] cultivation technique was stronger than some of the Earth Ranked cultivation techniques, even he could use it, but Huang Zhan actually obtained one?


    Yu Xiuyuan took a deep breath: "I didn''t expect your luck to be so good, if you had learned how to kill Di Chen there shouldn''t be a problem, I''m guessing that this Di Chen will definitely participate in the Sky Realm Academy''s examination, think of a way to kill him during the examination."


    "That''s exactly what I wanted to do," Huang Zhan said as his killing intent filled his eyes. Clenching his fist, he said to himself: "Di Chen, you must have not thought that I would obtain such a cultivation technique right? You''re dead for sure."


    However, he did not know that Di Chen was actually the Sect Leader of the Eternal Gate.


    After Di Chen bid farewell to Cao Rouer and the others, they returned to the Moon Lai Inn. Shang Yu was already waiting for Di Chen at the inn.


    It was the first time Di Chen saw Shang Yu so angry. He laughed, "Little girl, look at your face.


    Shang Yu huffily said, "You still have the nerve to say that? I told you not to go to Thousand Monster Mountain, but you actually stole it and brought Sister Su Er along."


    At this point, she looked at Qin Suer with resentment: "You too, if you don''t persuade him, why did you follow Di Chen around randomly? It''s not like you don''t know how dangerous this Thousand Monster Mountain is."


    There was another reason why she was angry besides the fact that they had gone to Thousand Monster Mountain without her knowledge. She was a little jealous that the two of them had gotten along alone again.


    Qin Suer laughed: "Shang Yu, don''t be angry too, didn''t we already come back? Moreover, this time we reaped a lot of rewards, Di Chen has not wasted his time here, his chance of entering the Sky Realm Academy is even greater now."


    Shang Yu was startled, then curiously looked at Di Chen and exclaimed: "Di Chen, it seems like you have suddenly reached the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, how did you cultivate so quickly?"


    Di Chen did not directly reply to her, and laughed: "Little girl Yu, although your cultivation realm is Life Seizing double stage on the surface, but you can tell my cultivation realm with a glance, it seems like you are not simple either. Speak, how many things are you hiding from me?"


    Shang Yu did not expect Di Chen to notice the inklings on the contrary, and grabbed onto Di Chen''s sleeve as he said in a spoiled manner, "Brother Di Chen, didn''t you already know that I had hidden my cultivation? Don''t worry about what realm I am at, you will naturally know when you reach my level of cultivation."


    Di Chen said snappily: "Girl, you''re even hiding this from me. See how I''ll take care of you later."


    "Then ¡­" Shang Yu mysteriously smiled, and mischievously said, "Then come to my room later and clean me up."


    Di Chen''s brows darkened, thinking that if Shang Yu''s words were heard by the disciples who pursued her in the Sky Realm Academy, he did not know what to do.


    "Oh yeah," Di Chen looked around: "Where''s Lin Tao?"


    Shang Yu said, "He''s still cultivating in his room. He swallowed ten One Breath Life Bones and his body has already recovered. He''s been training very hard recently, but his cultivation has not improved much."


    Only then did Di Chen go to Lin Tao''s room. Currently, Lin Tao was bare-chested, with punches and kicks all over his body, he was tired to the point of being drenched in sweat. However, judging from his strength, he was at most not a warrior of the double stage.


    Cultivating martial artists had to start from a young age. If one wanted to cultivate after a certain age, it would be too late. Lin Tao had to put in more effort than others since the start, but he might not be able to reap any benefits.


    "Di Chen, you''re back," Lin Tao said as he stopped cultivating after seeing Di Chen.


    Di Chen took out all the books, and laughed: "You have gained a lot, take a look."


    "So many cultivation techniques?" The title was On All Living Beings, Lin Tao casually flipped it, and it was about literati philosophy. He picked up another book, the title was Reflected Fish, and the title was quite special, but it was another book that talked about literati philosophy, he then flipped through a few of these books, and his brows darkened: "Di Chen, are you going to the Thousand Monster Mountain or a bookstore, why is it this kind of book?"


    Di Chen laughed: "You don''t understand, these are all good books, and many of them are lonely. To you, they might not be worth much, but to cultivators, they are priceless treasures."


    "I really don''t understand you scholars," it was only now that Lin Tao remembered that Di Chen was a scholar before, scholars did not love books and manuals.


    Di Chen took out the huge sword and gave it to Lin Tao, "I picked this up from Thousand Monster Mountain. I saw that it was a little special, I thought it was more suitable for you to use.


    This sword is at least six thousand kilograms and Lin Tao can barely lift it. He tried to wield the sword, and said excitedly: "This sword is not suitable for me to use for the time being, but after I break through Lifestealer Realm, this sword can at least increase my strength by ten times. Di Chen, thank you!"


    After all, his cultivation was currently too low. It was already difficult for him to lift the sword up, but breaking through to the Life Reaching Realm was different.


    "Don''t be so courteous," Di Chen was able to move his hand because he was a Sect Leader of the Eternal Gate, but he could still lift Lin Tao''s cultivation, who knew how strong he was.


    Di Chen thought that the sword now was useless against Lin Tao, but when he broke through Lifestealer Realm, it would be a different story. He suddenly started to look forward to how powerful Lin Tao would be after he broke through Lifestealer Realm, but breaking through Lifestealer Realm seemed to be a little difficult, so Di Chen thought to himself that if there was a chance in the future, he would need to find him more cultivation enhancing pills.


    "That''s right." Lin Tao placed the sword on his shoulder and asked, "What''s the name of this sword?"


    Di Chen also did not know what the sword was called, but Yu Xuanji had never told him either, he only knew that the sword was special, and shook his head: "I do not know either, why don''t you take one."


    Lin Tao looked at his sword and thought for a while before saying, "Let''s call it ''Sky Tyrant''. This name sounds quite domineering."


    Hearing that name, Qin Suer laughed out loud, that name ¡­


    Di Chen frowned. As a scholar, he felt ashamed of his title, how did he come up with such a vulgar name, but Lin Tao liked it.

 C61

    Shang Yu did not like the two of them discussing endlessly about things that she did not dare to get excited about. She held Di Chen''s hand and whispered into his ear, "Big Brother Di Chen, didn''t you want to teach me a lesson?


    Although her voice was soft, Qin Suer and Lin Tao could hear her. The two of them were speechless, thinking that Shang Yu was being too frank, how come they never realised that she was this kind of person.


    Di Chen chuckled, he could already imagine the scene when he was in a room with Shang Yu, he couldn''t wait to pull Shang Yu to her room and lock the door, then disorderly his hands, wanting to take care of Shang Yu''s raincoat.


    Shang Yu slapped Di Chen''s hand away, and said with a smile that was yet not a smile: "You''re really anxious, we aren''t even married yet, you''re not allowed to touch me."


    Di Chen exclaimed: "I say, little girl, you were the one who hinted me just now, how can you not agree?"


    Shang Yu smiled evilly and said, "I don''t know how I can trick you here, you always want to take advantage of me, today I will teach you a lesson."


    After saying that, she pressed Di Chen down onto the ground. Although Di Chen was at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm and had a lot of strength, he was unable to move at all when Shang Yu pressed him down onto the ground.


    Di Chen''s hand was twisted so much that it had almost become twisted. He cried out: "Hey little girl, what are you doing? How am I making you angry again?"


    Shang Yu snorted, "After you came back, I could smell several kinds of faint fragrance from your body. Other than Sister Su''er, there are also a few other women. What do you think is going on?"


    Di Chen explained: "Earlier, when I was moving with a few people, one of them was a girl, what''s so strange about that."


    "Nonsense," Shang Yu said angrily, "You''re still not telling the truth. If it was just an ordinary colleague, you wouldn''t have so much fragrance on your body. If I''m not mistaken, you must have spent your days with them, so that''s why you have such a strong fragrance on you."


    Di Chen suddenly remembered that he had interacted with Cao Yuer a lot, and thought that it must be her, so he anxiously said: "She''s just a friend, if you don''t believe me, ask Qin Suer, she can testify for me."


    The pain made Di Chen scream miserably, but Shang Yu did not loosen his grip at all. He spoke angrily, "I asked Miss Su Er what''s the use of it, she likes to protect you and would never speak the truth, I want you to say it, tell me everything that you experienced in the Thousand Monster Mountain. If I find out that you lied to me in any way, I will break your hand."


    Di Chen was afraid of Shang Yu, this girl usually looked very cute and gentle, but sometimes she was like an unruly and headstrong lady.


    Why didn''t he notice that this girl was violent before?


    "I''ll say, I''ll say ¡­" Di Chen hurriedly told his everything that he had experienced with the Thousand Monster Mountain, including his grudges with Huang Ting and every single sentence he had said with Cao Yuer. In fact, he had actually wanted to hide the matter of Cao Yuer from his at the beginning, because they seemed to be quite close in the Thousand Monster Mountain, even Qin Suer had said that Cao Yuer had fallen for Di Chen. However, Shang Yu''s senses were simply too sensitive.


    Shang Yu listened attentively to Di Chen''s words and said angrily: "I knew that you, this playboy, would be involved with others behind my back. As expected, that Cao Yuer must have fallen for you."


    Di Chen didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, "I say, little girl, when did your nerves become so sensitive? You''re not even here, how do you know she likes me?"


    Shang Yu said, "How about we find Miss Su''er and tell her about it? If she feels the same way, then I''ll break you. How about it?"


    "This ¡­" Di Chen was afraid. Previously, Qin Suer did say that Cao Yuer liked him.


    Shang Yu saw that Di Chen was not speaking, so she twisted his hand again and said, "If you don''t say anything, then it''s silent. You actually dare to use me to mess with other people, you really infuriated me."


    Di Chen said snappily: "I say, little girl, I was almost killed by Yu Xiuyuan and Huang Ting earlier. You don''t even care about my life and death, yet you keep grabbing onto Cao Yuer and talking endlessly about this matter, do you really care about me or not?"


    Shang Yu replied: "Of course I care about you. This Yu Xiuyuan and Huang Ting deserve to die and I actually wanted to kill you. I won''t let them off, but since you have such a close relationship with Cao Yuer behind your back, I won''t let you off either."


    If it was before, when she heard that someone wanted to kill Di Chen and Shang Yu, she would have sought him out for revenge a long time ago. But she didn''t.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "I say, little girl, is that really necessary? We are all going to get married sooner or later, why don''t we get married tonight? You can rest assured now."


    "What?" Shang Yu was angered to the point that she twisted his hand to the point that he almost changed his shape, and said angrily: "You are flirting around outside, and now you still want to take advantage of me, see how I will take care of you today."


    As he said that, he took out a rope to tie up Di Chen''s hands and feet. Like a sailboat, normal people''s bodies were actually more rigid, it was difficult to get tied up in such a state, but they could imagine how much suffering Di Chen had endured, when this girl flirtatiously asked them to enter the house to teach her a lesson, and instead got taught a lesson instead. Why is this girl getting more and more violent?


    "See if you dare to lie to me in the future," Shang Yu laughed complacently. After tying up the ship, he ignored Di Chen, and allowed Di Chen to sway on the ground like a boat. No matter how Di Chen begged, he would not listen to her.


    Time slowly passed, Di Chen did not know when he fell asleep, but he woke up on the second day. His hands and feet were still in their previous shape, and Shang Yu was just sitting by the side, smiling at her.


    Di Chen said with a sullen face: "Girl, you can let go of me now right?"


    Shang Yu giggled, "It has already been untied."


    Di Chen looked back, and realized that the rope had been untied long ago. He tried to move his body, but the pain that came from being bound like this for too long caused his limbs to change shape, and he was unable to return to normal for a while.


    On the other hand, Shang Yu was smiling happily as he grabbed the other foot and twisted it. When Di Chen''s hands and feet had recovered their original form, he was already crying profusely and the ground was covered with water, but his body was still very stiff, he was completely unable to move, and was still sprawled on the ground.


    "Big Brother Di Chen," Shang Yu squatted in front of Di Chen and said while grinning, "Do you still dare to lie to me in the future?"


    Di Chen said with tears streaming down his face, "I say, little girl, why didn''t I notice that you were quite ruthless before?


    This time, Di Chen was truly afraid. This girl actually had a violent side to his!


    Only then did Shang Yu help Di Chen up, and smiled: "This is my big brother Di Chen. Quickly get up, I''ve prepared some food for you."


    Di Chen thought to himself that although Shang Yu was extremely gentle, there was no reason for her savagery.


    Then, it was Shang Yu''s meticulous care and concern for Di Chen that made Di Chen uncomfortable. This Shang Yu had a double personality.


    After resting for a few hours, Di Chen finally recovered his body, and walked out of Shang Yu''s room. However, his body was still sore, and it was more painful than being stabbed by a knife.


    "Di Chen," Lin Tao coincidentally saw Di Chen walking out, and laughed sinisterly: "You screamed quite miserably last night, did you clean up Shang Yu?"


    Qin Suer who was at the side also had an evil smile on her face, it seemed that she knew about what happened last night.


    Di Chen said snappily: "Don''t take joy in this. If there''s anything you regret in the future, aiyo ¡­"


    Lin Tao was too anxious and his movements were too sudden. He twisted his arm and screamed out in pain. When he saw this, he laughed out loud.


    Di Chen rolled his eyes, and was too lazy to bother with them, he looked at Qin Suer and said: "Su''er, help me grind the ink, I''m going to copy the books."


    Qin Suer was a little hesitant at first, after all the two of them were back, so this kind of thing should be done by Shang Yu. However, after thinking it over, she nodded her head, since Shang Yu did not know how to grind ink, she did not have the mood to stay by Di Chen''s side to watch him copy books.


    The two of them went into Di Chen''s room, and the fashionable rain came out of the room.


    Lin Tao glanced at Di Chen and saw through her thoughts. He smiled and said, "The two of you have no way of guessing, childhood sweetheart. You know how much Di Chen likes you, so don''t think too much."


    "But Sister Su''er is better at taking care of Di Chen than I am, it''s just like how Di Chen likes to read and write, but I don''t have the patience to stay by her side to accompany her. Sister Su''er, however, is fine, I know that Sister Su''er likes Di Chen as well, and sometimes I wonder if they would have been together if I met Di Chen first."


    Of course, Lin Tao knew what Qin Suer was thinking, she had always been silently guarding beside Di Chen and taking care of him, to be able to pay such a price for him.


    "But there aren''t that many ''ifs'' in this world, time can''t flow back. In the end, you two got to know each other first, and you two are already engaged. Di Chen won''t betray you."


    Lin Tao laughed: "I can promise you this, if one day Di Chen falls for someone else, I will help you teach him a lesson."


    She was very angry today, but it was not because of Cao Yuer. She was just angry that Qin Suer could get along better with her, but why couldn''t she?


    Shang Yu knew that Lin Tao was only trying to comfort her. If such a day really came, what could he do?


    She only wanted to tell Di Chen that she was the fiancee of Di Chen, that she could maintain her true self in front of Di Chen. She did not need to accompany him, and did not know if Di Chen understood, but she was a little worried.

 C62

    Qin Suer walked into Di Chen''s room, closed the door, and said with concern: "Di Chen, are you alright?"


    Di Chen moved his body, and laughed: "I''m fine, you''re the one who cares more about me, Shang Yu is too overbearing, she actually tricked me into her room to torture, how come I didn''t realize that she had such a violent side to her before?"


    Qin Suer defended her: "Di Chen, you can''t say it like that. You also know how much Little Sister Shang Yu likes you, only in front of you would she reveal her true self.


    Di Chen thought to himself that Shang Yu would usually have a cold personality, but in front of him, she would always hide herself in her room when she was in front of people she didn''t like. Thinking about that, Di Chen laughed with relief, he suddenly remembered that when they were young, the two of them would chase after each other and play with each other, and laughed heartily: "I understand this girl, she is a good Girl, I know what to do."


    Don''t look at how Shang Yu was making trouble sometimes, but this nonsense just showed how much she liked Di Chen. Of course Di Chen knew it, otherwise why would she deliberately return to the Ling''an City?


    Although Shang Yu was torturing Di Chen previously, if she didn''t like it, how could she have tormented him?


    Di Chen suddenly thought of something. He only wanted to have a person''s heart, and not their heads.


    Di Chen was in a very good mood as he took out the book to continue copying. Every time he copied a book, Di Chen would enter a state of oblivion, as if the whole world no longer existed, and Qin Suer would write on the side. After Di Chen finished writing a piece of paper, she would help Di Chen write a new piece of paper, and then take that piece of paper and dry it on the side, and take care of Di Chen like a servant girl.


    During this time, Shang Yu came in a few times because she wanted to give Di Chen food. When she saw that Qin Suer was waiting on him peacefully, she was a little jealous, but she did not disturb them. After all, she could not do this kind of thing, so it was better to leave it to Qin Suer.


    Two days later.


    Di Chen shook his hands, in the past two days he had copied two books, the power of the scholars in his body had increased by quite a bit, and his cultivation had improved again, but to break through the student''s six stages and only use copying, he still had to read a lot.


    "Di Chen, you''re not going to attack anymore?" Qin Suer asked.


    Di Chen moved his body: "I''m not going to copy it, reading too much will not benefit my cultivation. Oh right, how much more time do I have to take the Sky Realm Academy''s examination?"


    Qin Suer laughed and said: "Tomorrow is fine, but you really don''t have the sense of time when you are copying books."


    Di Chen thought that he had to rest for a while to replenish his spirit power to prevent any mistakes in the assessment tomorrow. One must know that the elimination rate in the Sky Realm Academy was very high, and there might even be deaths ¡­


    When she walked out of the door, she saw Shang Yu. She smiled and walked over, holding onto Di Chen''s arm: "Brother Di Chen, the book has been copied."


    Di Chen thought about how he was tortured by Shang Yu previously and pretended to be angry: "It''s still early, there''s still a lot of things that I haven''t copied."


    Shang Yu laughed, "Brother Di Chen, don''t be angry, how about I help you grind the ink in the future?"


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "Girl, are you jealous?"


    "Nope," Shang Yu pouted, then smiled at Di Chen, and said with an evil smile: "What, aren''t you happy that you helped me grind the ink?"


    Di Chen frowned, Shang Yu''s smile was truly scary. This girl really likes to threaten him, but what Qin Suer said is right, the more unreasonable she is, the more she likes him.


    Qin Suer smiled at the two of them, but it was obvious that her smile was a bit forced, and was ultimately unable to hide her loss.


    "Oh, right." Lin Tao suddenly took out a book, "This was given to you by someone from before."


    Di Chen held the book and looked at it. It was precisely Liu Jingjing''s ? Destiny ? that she had promised, but she did not expect Liu Jingjing to not go back on her words, so Di Chen immediately kept the book and did not even think of reading it. This kind of book would make one addicted to it, Di Chen did not have the time to read it right now.


    Tomorrow is the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment. This is the most important thing to Di Chen right now.


    The next day.


    Sky Realm Academy!


    All of the young boys and girls were lively and their faces revealed a confident smile. These were the participants of the Sky Realm Academy assessment, if they wanted to participate in the assessment, they would need someone to recommend them, so these people who had the qualifications to take the assessment were the last outstanding talents of the various cities.


    Every year''s assessment was the most interesting time, so many people would give up a day of cultivation to come and take a look at these new students. This year, there were rumours that there were a few geniuses, so there were many people who came to watch.


    "Quickly, look, that''s Fang Xin from the Spirit State Fang family. I heard that he seems to be the number one genius of the Spirit State, and although he is not even fifteen, he has already broken through to the eighth stage of the Life Seizing Stage."


    Spirit Province was one of the big cities in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty. There were countless geniuses there, and countless experts came out every year. Fang Xin, on the other hand, could become the number one genius in the Spirit Province.


    "This Fang Xin is not bad, but that Jiang You is not bad either. He seems to be at the eighth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, but he can easily kill a ninth stage Life Seizing Cultivator. I never thought that even he would participate in the examination."


    He was the number one genius of the Spirit Continent, Jiang You. The Jiang Family was a huge family, but Jiang You could not tell that he was a member of a big family, so after all, which large family could wear such a tattered set of clothes?


    Under normal circumstances, the disciples of the Fang family and the Jiang family would not be allowed to participate in any academy''s assessment. But now, they sent their most outstanding disciple to the Sky Realm Academy for the assessment.


    "Also, if it''s Huang Zhan over there, I might not have thought highly of him, but I heard that he went to the Thousand Monster Mountain a while ago. Not only did he come out alive, he even obtained a top grade Profound Rank skill, and his strength cannot be underestimated."


    "Also, Cao Rouer''s sister Cao Yuer has returned alive from Thousand Monster Mountain. She will definitely be a dark horse as well."


    There were a lot of people who entered the Thousand Monster Mountain this time, but they could count the number of people who returned alive. Although everyone did not know what was happening inside the Thousand Monster Mountain, they could guess that there would definitely be a lucky chance for those who managed to survive.


    It seemed that this competition had absorbed too many people. All of them were discussing excitedly and curiously.


    "Looks like there''s going to be an exciting match this year."


    In a pavilion outside the plaza stood two elders. They were Mu Zhongli and Liang Xinghe.


    Mu Zhongli smiled. "I can feel the auras of many experts. The overall strength of this year''s contestants are much stronger than before."


    Liang Xinghe asked: "Who do you think has the highest chance of winning this year?"


    Mu Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "Based on our current strength, Fang Xin and Jiang You are the ones with the most hope, but there are still many dark horses hidden amongst them, such as the previously unpopular Huang Zhan and Cao Yuer. These two are definitely not simple to be able to survive the Thousand Monster Mountain, but ¡­"


    At this point, his gaze suddenly fell onto another person. After a pause, he said, "Although I don''t think he''ll get first place, I feel that he''ll perform very brilliantly this time."


    Liang Xinghe turned his gaze towards Mu Zhongli. There, he saw an eighteen or nineteen year old youth currently standing by himself, looking around curiously. He was indeed Di Chen.


    Honestly speaking, Cao Fei was also an upper-level talent, so defeating Cao Fei was nothing at all. But the key point was that this person was a literati, it was indeed rare for a literati to come for the examination.


    This was something that only happened once every hundred years!


    "So many strong warriors," Di Chen curiously looked around. He could feel that there were many strong auras here, and it seemed that it was not easy to test the strength of the Sky Realm Academy, but this made Di Chen feel a little excited.


    "Di Chen." It was at this time that a sweet and excited voice sounded.


    Di Chen turned around and saw that it was Cao Yuer and Cao Rouer. Cao Yuer excitedly rushed to Di Chen''s side and held onto Di Chen''s arm like a young Girl who had not grown up, and said joyously: "You came alone."


    Shang Yu was a celebrity in the Sky Realm Academy, if he stood with her, many people would definitely hold a grudge against him. There were many enemies without reason, so he was not standing with Shang Yu. He thought about how he was a little afraid after getting tortured by Shang Yu last time, and quickly pulled Cao Yuer''s arm away: "I say, you are more gentle, my fiancee is watching."


    Cao Yuer glanced at Shang Yu in the distance and laughed, "What''s the difference? She can''t be jealous just because of this, right?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "You don''t understand Shang Yu''s personality, I don''t want to go back and get tortured by her."


    Cao Yuer exclaimed: "Shang Yu''s personality is a bit cold, she would even torture you."


    "That''s right," Di Chen''s smile was even more bitter. Although Shang Yu usually didn''t seem to care about anything, in reality, she also had his own thoughts.


    Cao Rouer reprimanded her: "Yu''er, don''t make things difficult for Di Chen, you will be taking the assessment soon, prepare well."


    Cao Yuer laughed heartily: "I have already broken through the six stages, and my strength has increased by several grades, even if I met the previous Murong Yue, I am confident, and with Di Chen, I will not have a problem this time."


    Di Chen knew that after taking the Spirit Opening Pill, Cao Yuer''s cultivation speed would be faster than ordinary people, but he never thought that Cao Yuer''s current strength could compare to Murong Yue''s. It was just too fast, but it was a good thing for Di Chen, as the two of them had a better chance of passing the examination.

 C63

    Cao Rouer scolded: "Yu''er, don''t be too careless, there are many geniuses participating in this examination, for example Fang Xin and Jiang You are both very dangerous people, if you are not careful you will very likely die in this examination."


    However, Cao Yuer disapproved and stuck out her tongue playfully: "It will be fine, there''s still Di Chen."


    Cao Rouer originally wanted to say it, but hearing her say this, she could only swallow her words. This girl really trusted Di Chen, but the problem was that although Cao Rouer had moved together with her before, she had never seen Di Chen move, so she really did not know how strong he was. So what if he had pulled out the huge sword, Di Chen did not have the slightest bit of elemental energy in his body.


    Clang! Clang! Clang!


    A young man in white clothes walked in front of the crowd and laughed: "Everyone, I am Chen Zhiyun, and am also a disciple of Sky Realm Academy. In the future, when you all enter Sky Realm Academy, I will be your senior, and I will be the one presiding over today''s first examination."


    "It''s actually Senior Brother Chen Zhiyun, right? He''s the third place on the Sky Realm Academy''s Martial King Ranking."


    "Looks like the academy really values this exam. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have let senior brother Chen Zhiyun come out."


    When they saw Chen Zhiyun, many people in the crowd exclaimed in admiration. However, since Chen Zhiyun was the host, this first round of the assessment must not be simple at all.


    Chen Zhiyun took out a small red bottle and opened its lid. From the bottle came the roar of a demonic beast, it was deafening, resounding through the clouds, causing everyone to tremble with fear, following that, a ray of light shot out from the bottle, transforming into a fifteen meter tall demonic beast. This demonic beast had a head of a lion, a body with a pair of wings, it was the Jade-eyed Lion that lived in the deepest parts of Thousand Monster Mountain, this kind of demon lion was at least in the Demon Emperor, its strength was extremely strong, it was said that this demonic beast was able to destroy the heavens and the earth.


    The Jade-Eyed Lion''s eyes scanned the surroundings, its gaze filled with disdain. Then, it laid on the ground and slept, not even sparing the others a glance.


    "I had long heard that Brother Chen Zhiyun had caught a Jade-Eyed Lion from the deepest parts of Thousand Monster Mountain. I never thought that it was true."


    "What is he doing? He can''t possibly be using the Jade-Eyed Lion to test these new disciples, right? They are all just at Lifestealer Realm."


    Even the seniors of the Sky Realm Academy were shocked. One must know that not many of them could defeat this Jade-Eyed Lion.


    The disciples who came to take the exam were so frightened that they almost cried.


    Chen Zhiyun waved his hand, and a barrier appeared around the Jade-Eyed Lion. The Demon Lion''s figure immediately disappeared from everyone''s sight, and Chen Zhiyun smiled and said, "There are a hundred participants this time, so thirty will remain for the first round. This round is very simple, you will all enter the barrier, close to the Jade-Eyed Lion, and the top thirty will pass."


    "What?" First of all, no one could see what would happen if they entered the barrier, and no one knew how close they would be to the Demon Lion, so they did not know how far they would have to go before they could safely pass. The only thing they could do was get as close to the Demon Lion as possible, but the closer they got to it, the more dangerous it would be.


    "Senior Brother Chen Zhiyun, this Jade-Eyed Lion is a demonic beast of the Martial Monarch Level, don''t you think it''s too dangerous for us disciples of the Lifestealer Realm to get close to this demon lion?"


    Someone said. This question was what the others were thinking.


    Chen Zhiyun smiled, "Fighters will always take risks in their cultivation. If you are afraid of danger, you can withdraw from the assessment. But I have to remind you, this Jade-Eyed Lion is cruel, I don''t know if it will kill you or not."


    "This ¡­" Some of the people immediately backed off when they heard this. They knew that the Sky Realm Academy test was dangerous, but they did not expect it to be this dangerous.


    "This Chen Zhiyun, how did he come up with this kind of examination method? He''s too reckless." In the distance, Mu Zhongli heard Chen Zhiyun''s words and became speechless.


    Liang Xinghe laughed: "But the method of the assessment is actually quite interesting, think about it, no one knows how close others are to the Jade-Eyed Lion, so they cannot conserve their strength, but it is also dangerous if they get too close, what Chen Zhiyun said just now was not to scare them, I would like to see how these little fellows are doing."


    Although Chen Zhiyun''s method of assessment scared this batch of new disciples, the older students were still very interested. It had to be known that even some Martial Kings would not dare to approach this demonic lion.


    "Everyone," Chen Zhiyun took out a notebook, smiled and said, "Those whose names I''ve called, before the assessment, I have to remind you all that the assessment is important, but your lives are more important. If you feel danger, immediately leave."


    Everyone cursed in their hearts. This Chen Zhiyun knows his life is more important, yet he still wants to test us in such a dangerous way?


    This time, everyone hated Chen Zhiyun to the core, and they all had different thoughts.


    Chen Zhiyun did not care, and read out loud from his notebook, "First, Bai Ling."


    She walked to the side of the barrier and took a deep breath, then stepped into the barrier. A moment later, she walked out of the barrier, her face revealing a look of astonishment, she looked at Chen Zhiyun without saying a word, who smiled, did not say a word, and only used his brush to record a number on a piece of paper, and then recited a name.


    Some of them came out again very quickly, but some came out a bit later, but no one was willing to say how close they were to the demonic lion. But luckily, none of them died so far, so the crowd could relax a bit.


    However, an hour later, not long after a youth entered the enchantment, a miserable scream came from the person inside, and then everyone saw the blood spray out onto the enchantment, and a head rolled out from the enchantment, then the enchantment returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened. But when everyone saw that head, they were filled with fear, this person was at least at the eighth stage of Life Seizing, but he died so miserably within the enchantment, what did he do just now?


    It was precisely because no one knew what was happening to the barrier that everyone was even more afraid. Next up, there were actually a few people who had given up on the test.


    "Ai, that person was too greedy just now. Actually, with his distance, he should be able to make it into the second round."


    Mu Zhongli sighed, "It''s a pity that his death frightened the other examinees. I estimate that the next batch of examinees'' results will be much worse than the previous batch of examinees."


    In fact, just as Mu Zhongli thought, the next group of people''s results were indeed much worse. They were mainly affected by the dead man.


    "Ai Yeshi," Chen Zhiyun reported another name.


    Ai Yeshi walked out. This person was only at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, his strength looked average, but he was tall and gave off a sense of strength. He walked into the enchantment, and after a while, walked out again with a confident smile on his face.


    Chen Zhiyun looked at Ai Yeshi with satisfaction, and when everyone saw his smile, they knew that he had passed.


    "Who is this guy? Why have I never heard of him? His talent seems average."


    Everyone looked at Ai Yeshi and discussed.


    Ai Yeshi retreated back into the crowd, walked to his side, and whispered a few sentences into his ear. Then, both of their gazes uncontrollably fell towards the distant Di Chen, cold smiles plastered all over their faces.


    Cao Yuer noticed Ai Yeshi''s unkind gaze and asked: "Di Chen, do you recognize those two?"


    Di Chen casually said: "The ones who participated in the exam earlier were General Ai Lun''s son, and the other was Prime Minister Jin Kai''s son. He had offended them earlier in the Hong Huang City, but who would have thought that they would come to take the test for revenge."


    Cao Yuer was speechless: "They actually offended even the son of Prime Minister Jin Kai and General Ai Lun, they are still considered upright and would not help their son commit crimes, if not, you would not even know how you died."


    There were a lot of vengeful officials in the imperial court, if Di Chen had offended anyone, they would have already died without a burial ground.


    But Prime Minister Jin Kai and General Ai Lun were different. They were loyal officials, so of course they wouldn''t take revenge on their own.


    "These two seem to be General Ai Lun and Prime Minister Jin Kai''s sons respectively. Why are they also here to take the Sky Realm Academy test?"


    Liang Xinghe stared at Ai Yeshi and Ai Yeshi curiously.


    Ai Lun and Jin Kai were both famous officials of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, so Liang Xinghe naturally recognized the two of them, but he was a little curious.


    Mu Zhongli laughed: "I heard that this Ai Yeshi has always had a carefree life, he was renowned for his efforts in helping the imperial government, but with such a son, I think that General Ai Lun would probably want him to train for a bit, if not he would not give Ai Yeshi the Gold-ranked Bound Chains. Only with the aid of the Gold-grade Bound Bound Bound did Ai Yeshi dare to get ten meters closer to the Jade-Eyed Lion."


    Liang Xinghe laughed: Actually, even if you used the Golden-Armored Sealed Locking, the Jade-Eyed Lion would be able to kill him in one strike, I have to admit that his courage is not weak, many people could have gotten close to ten meters, but in the end, they gave up, and thus many people were unable to display their full strength during this test.


    Mu Zhongli shook his head, "You can''t put it that way. Psychological endurance is also a part of the assessment. Some people are too cowardly, so even if they have talent, they won''t be able to go far. Chen Zhiyun''s assessment method is not bad."


    Cultivation was very dangerous, but there were some people with decent talent. They were too timid and cowardly. Such people did not have a better chance of success than those who dared to take risks.


    The disciples accepted by the Sky Realm Academy were not only limited to those with talent, the degree of effort and temperament were also a part of the factors in accepting disciples.


    "Jin Rui," Chen Zhiyun reported another name.


    Jin Rui walked out of the crowd and calmly walked into the barrier. A moment later, he walked out of the barrier, but he still looked relaxed. He returned to Ai Lun''s side with a face full of smiles.

 C64

    Chen Zhiyun did not say anything and continued reciting, "Jiang You."


    "Phew ¡­" Upon hearing this name, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar, all of them looking curiously at Jiang You, this was one of the top examinees in this assessment.


    Jiang You calmly walked into the barrier, and quickly came out again. His face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell how much meters he was close to the demon lion.


    "Fang Xin," Chen Zhiyun continued to chant, and another genius entered the enchantment, but after five breaths of time, he walked out again, he was the fastest one to enter.


    No one knew how close they were to the demonic lion, but they could imagine that with their abilities, they would definitely pass the test.


    "These two are pretty good," Mu Zhongli said in satisfaction. Liang Xinghe also laughed.


    "Huang Zhan," Chen Zhiyun recited another name, and Huang Zhan also attracted a lot of interest. After all, this fellow was someone who had come out of Thousand Monster Mountain alive before, and even brought a top grade Profound Rank cultivation technique with him.


    Huang Zhan used ten breaths to walk out of the barrier and back into the crowd. He then looked playfully at Di Chen and Cao Yuer, and seeing his confident smile, he knew that he would definitely be able to pass.


    "Cao Yuer," Chen Zhiyun said again, and everyone looked over. She was the same as Huang Zhan, a seeded participant in this exam.


    Cao Yuer chuckled to Di Chen, then walked into the enchantment, quickly came out, and returned to Di Chen''s side.


    Di Chen asked: "How close are you to the demonic beast?"


    Cao Yuer laughed: "About fifteen meters, I can feel that the demonic beast''s aura is too dangerous."


    Di Chen did not know how many meters was needed to have such a guarantee, so he asked in shock, "Is fifteen meters enough?"


    Cao Yuer stuck her tongue out and laughed: "I don''t know either, who cares, at most I would just get eliminated. I''m fine, the key is that I will get scolded by my sister."


    Di Chen was speechless, thinking that this Cao Yuer was just as Cao Rouer had said, not interested in cultivation. She was just a naughty little Girl who had not grown up, with a completely different personality from Cao Rouer.


    "Di Chen," At this time, Chen Zhen Yun called out Di Chen''s name again.


    Cao Yuer tugged on Di Chen''s sleeve and said: "It''s your turn."


    Di Chen laughed, and leisurely walked towards the barrier.


    "Damn, this guy doesn''t seem to have any elemental energy. Is he an ordinary person?"


    "Why would an ordinary person come to take the Sky Realm Academy test? Is he here to make a fool of himself?"


    Everyone cried out in alarm when they saw Di Chen. It was impossible for a person to completely hide his spirit energy, so people who had no spirit energy fluctuations in their body would definitely be regular people. There was no doubt about this, but why did an ordinary person come to take the Sky Realm Academy test?


    Everyone looked at Di Chen, and even Jiang You and Fang Xin looked over curiously.


    If Di Chen did not make a move, the bystanders would not be able to tell his true strength. He did not discover the source of elemental energy from Di Chen''s body, and could not help but remind him: "Are you really going in?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Anyway, we just need to get close to the Jade-Eyed Lion, and we don''t need any spirit energy for the first round of examinations."


    Chen Zhiyun was speechless, he thought to himself that what she said was true, even if it was a normal person, they would still be able to participate in the first round, and he had no intention of stopping them.


    When Di Chen walked into the barrier, the Jade-Eyed Lion was resting on its stomach. It let out a loud snoring sound as if it did not sense Di Chen''s arrival.


    Di Chen took a deep breath, then slowly approached the Jade-Eyed Lion. When it was about twenty meters away, the Jade-Eyed Lion suddenly opened its eyes, and raised its head to look at Di Chen coldly. It''s eyes were filled with hostility, causing Di Chen''s brows to darken.


    "I must have absorbed a lot of Demonic beast flesh and blood and the demonic aura on its body is rather heavy. This Jade-Eyed Essence Lion must have sensed the demonic aura in my body and that''s why it is hostile towards me."


    Di Chen secretly complained, and carefully took another step forward.


    Roar!


    Just then, the Jade-Eyed Lion roared at Di Chen, a terrifying gust of wind blew towards Di Chen, causing him to flip back a few steps, but it did not attack.


    "What''s going on?" This was the second time everyone had heard the demonic beast''s roar, and the first time was caused by the dead person. Could it be that the dead person was also dead, but no one seemed to have seen the scene of blood splattering on the ground, and Chen Zhiyun did not stop either, it seemed like the person was not dead.


    However, at this time, Shang Yu and Cao Yuer started to get nervous. What exactly did Di Chen do?


    "The demonic aura on Di Chen''s body is very strong, he must have ingested a lot of Demonic beast flesh and blood. This Jade-Eyed Lion must have sensed it, which is why it has some enmity towards him. There''s danger for him to continue walking."


    Liang Xinghe looked at Di Chen curiously and said: "Old Mu, you seem to be very interested in this Di Chen.


    Mu Zhongli pondered, "He is a literati, this kind of test is not beneficial for him. This is something that Chen Zhiyun did not consider, but since this is an exam, I can''t interfere. If he doesn''t pass, then it would only mean that he isn''t suitable for cultivation."


    On one hand, the Sky Realm Academy had its own rules, and on the other hand, like what he said, luck was also part of the test, and in reality, luck was also a part of a person''s Inherent Skill.


    If Di Chen died here, it could only be said that he was unsuitable for this place. After all, there were many talented people who died early.


    Liang Xinghe said: "But if he doesn''t give up, he will definitely die, I believe that when he gets within fifteen meters of the demon lion, it will definitely kill him."


    Mu Zhongli also frowned as he could feel that the demonic aura on the demonic lion''s body was getting stronger. Di Chen really could not get closer to it, after all, he still valued Di Chen a lot.


    Di Chen continued to advance, and the hostility this demonic beast had towards him became increasingly stronger. When it was around seventeen to eighteen meters away, he was no longer able to move forward, as if the demonic beast could swallow him up at any time.


    "What should we do?" Di Chen had a sullen look on his face. He wanted to continue deeper, but he didn''t dare, so why did he just happen to meet this kind of test that was disadvantageous to him?


    "That''s right ¡­" Di Chen suddenly thought that his martial spirit of light was a kind of gentle martial soul, and his Jade-Eyed Lion seemed to like the light very much.


    Di Chen was immediately overjoyed. He immediately pressed his finger on the center of his brows and his entire body started to shine with a white light. The light was very gentle and was not dazzling, it gave people a feeling of wanting to get close to him.


    The Jade-Eyed Lion who was roaring at first stopped when it sensed the light aura. It stared blankly at Di Chen with a blank look on its face, at least not as hostile and friendly as before.


    Di Chen laughed, it seemed that this martial spirit of light was indeed useful. In fact, not only the Jade-Eyed Lion, many demonic beast s were closer to light, because light was the source of growth for all living things. Without light, this world would not have any living beings.


    "It stopped?" The people outside were confused. They didn''t know what was going on inside, but looking at Chen Zhiyun''s shocked expression, he guessed something amazing must have happened. What did this guy do?


    "Damn, martial spirit of light?" He knew Di Chen was a literati, and literati was different from martial cultivators. But Di Chen had suddenly used a martial soul, how could a literati have a martial soul? How many people in this world had martial spirit of light, and how many could they possibly have?


    Liang Xinghe couldn''t react for a while, and only after a long while did he say: "What is going on with this guy? He is clearly a literati, why would there be a martial spirit of light in his body?


    Mu Zhongli said strangely, "But he doesn''t have any elemental energy in his body. He shouldn''t be a martial cultivator. What''s going on with that guy?"


    At this moment, the two were even more curious about Di Chen, since Martial Region Continent was originally very few in number, and it was even more uncommon to learn both civil and martial skills.


    This guy was really abnormal!


    Di Chen had already walked to the front of the Jade-Eyed Lion. He looked at it calmly, and the Jade-Eyed Lion also looked at Di Chen, as if it did not have any enmity towards him.


    Honestly speaking, even the people from the martial spirit of light would not dare do such a thing, after all this was a demonic beast two realms higher than Di Chen. If one was not careful, the Jade-Eyed Golden Lion could devour Di Chen, but luckily the Jade-Eyed Golden Lion did not do anything to Di Chen, and so he retreated, taking back the martial spirit of light. When he walked out of the barrier, everyone was curious, what exactly was going on inside?


    "Not bad," Chen Zhiyun laughed as he looked at Di Chen. This was the first time he had praised an examinee.


    Di Chen returned back to Cao Yuer''s side and asked anxiously: "Di Chen, how is it? How close are you to the demonic lion?"


    Di Chen said softly: "I''ve already touched the Goblin Lion, tell me, how close am I to it?"


    Cao Yuer rolled her eyes at Di Chen: "Keep boasting, you are just a Lifestealer Realm person and yet you dare to approach the Jade-Eyed Lion. Aren''t you afraid that it will devour you?"


    Di Chen knew that this was hard to believe and did not explain.


    Soon, the first round of examination was over. Chen Chenyun put away the enchantment barrier and put the Jade-Eyed Lion into the bottle, then read out the names of the thirty people closest to the Goblin Lion, including Jiang You. All the people that were favored previously passed the first round of examination, and Cao Yuer was one of them, however, Chen Zhiyun did not report how close every person was to the Goblin Lion, so no one had any way to judge the strength of the others in the first round.


    "How did this Di Chen manage to pass the examination? He clearly doesn''t have any Origin Energy, could it be that he''s cheating?"


    "I don''t need soul force for the first round of the assessment. I think he must have good luck, but he will definitely be eliminated for the second round."


    No one believed that Di Chen had passed the first round of the examination with his own ability. After all, he did not have any Origin Energy, so how could an ordinary person approach the Jade-Eyed Lion?

 C65

    "The first round of examinations is already over. The thirty people I''ve reported just now can enter the second round."


    Chen Zhiyun smiled and said, "You feel that the first round of the assessment is dangerous, but the truth is, as long as you are careful, your lives won''t be in danger. I can remind you that the second round will be even more dangerous. I hope you can pass it all."


    When everyone heard this, they inwardly cursed. The first round of the exam was already very dangerous, but the second round was actually even more dangerous than the first?


    At this moment, another lady walked over. This woman had long hair and wore a red robe. A smile hung on her face, and she looked very casual and beautiful. She gave off a feeling that would cause anyone to want to get close to her.


    "This must be Senior Sister Li Caishi, I heard that she also possesses Martial King, and is stronger than Chen Zhiyun by a little."


    Many of them had heard of Li Caishi before, but all of them were afraid. They knew that Li Caishi had always been vicious.


    There was a rumor that when Li Caishi participated in the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment, she killed dozens of people of the same realm, scaring the other exam candidates so much that they did not dare approach him. From then on, Li Caishi became a terrifying existence in the Sky Realm Academy, and no one dared to come into contact with her.


    "This is bad," Cao Yuer''s face changed, and she complained: "Di Chen, this time we are both finished, if we do not give up, we might die in the second round of the examination."


    Di Chen was slightly taken aback: "Why, could it be that this second round of the examination is very difficult?"


    Cao Yuer said with a sullen face: "You don''t know how terrifying this Li Caishi is. She was ruthless in her attacks and was the host of the previous exam. Half of the examinees died in the end."


    Di Chen took a deep breath, thinking that this was only an assessment, how could Li Caishi kill anyone?


    "There are always dangers. The others aren''t the same as us." Of course, Di Chen wasn''t willing to give up.


    Cao Yuer said anxiously: "Di Chen, you don''t understand, this Li Caishi is actually Li Xin''s big sister. You killed Li Xin earlier, she definitely must know."


    The smile on Di Chen''s face instantly disappeared as he scolded in his heart. He thought that the first round of the examination would be bad for him, but he did not expect that the second round would be even worse for him. When he looked at Shang Yu, he realized that Shang Yu was shaking his head at him, telling him to give up.


    Cao Rouer gave Cao Yuer a look to make him give up. It seemed like they all knew that Li Caishi was a dangerous person, participating in the second round of the examination was simply too dangerous.


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Let''s take a look first, if there''s really no other way, we''ll give up."


    Cao Yuer thought that since Di Chen agreed, she could not give up. As long as she had Di Chen, she would be a lot more at ease.


    Li Caishi walked in front of everyone, and looked around. There were only a short moment of pause between Di Chen and the others, although it was only for an instant, but it was still caught by Di Chen.


    The second round of the examination is presided over by me, "Li Caishi said as she looked at the crowd." This examination is also very simple, I will compress my cultivation to the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm while the thirty of you will form your own group.


    When everyone heard about the examination, they heaved a sigh of relief. There were three people fighting against one, and it only lasted ten seconds at that. It wasn''t as though there was no chance at all.


    But the problem was that there was something wrong with this exam, for example, if two strong people brought a weak person to defeat Li Caishi, then this weak person would also pass the examination, was this not fair?


    Furthermore, the majority of the people who came here for the assessment were not familiar with each other, suddenly forming a team would not work, and at that time, it would not even be as effective as adding one and two, but Li Caishi had decided to use this method to test everyone.


    "Di Chen, who are we looking for?" Of course, Cao Yuer would team up with him, but they were not familiar with the others, so it would be hard for them to find one.


    "Can I join you two?" However, at this moment, a man suddenly walked over.


    Di Chen curiously looked at the person who came. It was a young man around the age of seventeen or eighteen, with a cultivation level similar to that of the Life Stealing six stages. He looked gentle and refined, and was probably a scholar as well.


    "I am Qiu Tang," Qiu Tang smiled and introduced himself, "Can I join you?"


    Di Chen was a little curious as to why this fellow would find him, but he did not reject it. Laughing, he said: "No problem, if you do not mind our low cultivation, you can come with us."


    Cao Yuer thought that Di Chen''s response was too quick. He did not know who the man was, but it seemed that he could not find anyone else.


    "Oh, right," Qiu Tang asked curiously.


    "Di Chen," Di Chen introduced himself, then pointed at Cao Yuer and introduced him, "This is Cao Yuer."


    Qiu Tang indicated towards the two of them, but did not say much, nor did he think about how he would cooperate to defeat Li Caishi.


    Soon, the group of thirty was formed. There was a total of ten teams, each and every one of them ready to do battle.


    Li Caishi casually pointed to a team and said, "You guys go first."


    The calm strength of the three people in this group was roughly at the Lifesteal six stages, which was a team whose overall strength was above average.


    The three of them walked out and immediately attacked Li Caishi. Boundless spirit energy gushed out from their bodies, as though they were not holding back at all.


    "You want to take the Sky Realm Academy test with such little strength?" Li Caishi clapped her hands together and a wave of terrifying power swept out, causing the entire space to buzz. The three people''s spirit energy were scattered, and at the same time, three of them were flipped over, one of the men''s arms was immediately broken, and the other man had his leg broken. The last woman was directly killed, and the three were defeated by Li Caishi in one move.


    "This ¡­" Seeing that, everyone was shocked, they knew that Li Caishi was extremely ruthless, but they never expected her to be so malicious, killing one person in one move, crippling two people.


    Previously, everyone had thought that ten seconds wasn''t a long time, but now it seemed that these ten seconds would be the last ten seconds of their life.


    The seniors of the Sky Realm Academy seemed to have known about this since long ago. They all shook their heads speechlessly and looked at the new examinees with sympathy.


    "This Cai Shi is too much. To act so viciously, who would still dare to come and take the test for our Sky Realm Academy?"


    Mu Zhong Li couldn''t help but to complain to Li Caishi. It''s fine if you defeated the other party, but you still dare to kill?


    Liang Xingliang said with a wry smile, "It''s not like you don''t know that this Li Caishi has such a temper. I hope that a few more people can pass the examination."


    But even if there was someone who could pass the examination, they would probably be crippled by Li Caishi, which would be unfavorable for their future cultivation.


    Li Caishi then pointed at Huang Zhan and the other two. The two people beside Huang Zhan were actually Ai Yeshi and Jin Rui, and she did not know why the three of them formed a team. The three of them walked in front of Li Caishi, and were already prepared.


    "The three of them are all at the fifth level of Life Seizing. This team''s overall strength is much weaker than the previous team. It''ll be difficult for them to pass the second round."


    Everyone began to discuss.


    Li Caishi did not hold back because of the opponent''s low cultivation. Clapping her hand, another wave of terrifying energy swept towards the three of them.


    "I can block it," At this time, Ai Yeshi suddenly stepped in front of the two of them. He did not use any cultivation technique, and actually wanted to use his flesh to block the attack.


    Bang!


    All of the terrifying energy hit Ai Yeshi''s body, and Ai Yeshi was directly sent flying, heavily smashing onto the ground. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and even his clothes exploded, revealing a golden-colored soft armor.


    "This is the Imperial Golden Armor," Everyone could tell the origins of this armor at a glance. No wonder this person dared to block one of Li Caishi''s attacks.


    To be able to wear the chainmail gold, one must know that this person''s family must have an important position in the imperial government. Why would such a person come to participate in the Sky Realm Academy''s examination?


    Li Caishi was surprised that she did not kill Ai Yeshi with one move, but when she saw the Golden-chained Armor on''s body, she suddenly realized something.


    Jin Rui took the opportunity while Ai Yeshi was blocking this attack to directly take out a white jade Spirit Sword and ruthlessly slash at Li Caishi. This sword was called the Wind Slaying Sword, it was a peak grade Profound Ranked sword, and a sword like this could even kill a person at the ninth stage of Life Stealing Realm.


    "Hmm?" Li Caishi could see that the sword was not ordinary, and did not dare to be careless. With a flick of her finger, a burst of Spirit Qi shot out towards Jin Rui, it was like an arrow, it looked extremely sharp.


    Puff!


    Jin Rui''s sword struck his Spirit Qi, causing Jin Rui to be flipped over and even after losing his hand, he was still unable to fight, and at the same time, he was pushed back a few steps by the force.


    "Huang Zhan, quickly," Jin Rui shouted. This was Huang Zhan''s best chance.


    Huang Zhan leaped up, using his hand as a blade, he fiercely slashed at Li Caishi, at that moment his arm looked as though it had turned into the shape of a crescent moon blade.


    "Not good," Li Caishi knew that Huang Zhan had obtained a top grade Profound Rank cultivation technique from the Thousand Monster Mountain, so he did not dare to be careless. He immediately poured out all of his strength and sent a fist out to meet Huang Zhan''s attack.


    Bang!


    The two powerful forces collided and Huang Zhan was sent flying at the same time. However, Li Caishi''s arm was actually faintly trembling as well.


    "This is the cultivation technique Huang Zhan obtained from the Thousand Monster Mountain.


    Everyone exclaimed, Huang Zhan was also only at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, if he were to break through to the eighth stage, he would probably be severely injured.


    Li Caishi did not take advantage of the victory to give chase. Ten seconds had already passed, and she calmly replied: "The three of you have passed the examination."


    "He passed?" The others sucked in a breath of cold air. They had never expected that the three of them, who had average strength at the fifth level of Life Seizing, would actually pass the examination.


    The three of them were happy as well, and immediately retreated. Although the three of them were lucky to have passed the test, they finally succeeded, and the three of them looked at Di Chen at the same time with hostile smiles.


    Di Chen thought that if he were to pass the examination, he would probably be in more trouble in the Sky Realm Academy in the future.

    "You three, come out," Li Caishi pointed at Jiang You and the other two. The main event had arrived, and the appearance of these three people immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    Jiang You walked out, beside him was a man and a woman, both of whom were actually at the eighth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm. The man''s name was Bai Yi, and the woman''s name was Bing Tong.


    "Three people at the eighth level of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm?" Looking at the lineup, everyone was shocked, as though other than Fang Xin''s group, no other team could compare to them.


    Jiang You stood at the very front, while Bai Yi and Bai Yi stood at his back. From the looks of this battle, it could be seen that Jiang You was the main attacker, while the other two were the support.


    Jiang You took out a spear and rushed towards Li Caishi. The spear was completely fiery red, with the word Red Refinement written on the spear body. This was a technique of the Jiang Family, and it was continuously levelling up according to the person''s cultivation, meaning that Jiang You was currently at the ninth stage of Life Seizing, meaning that the spear was at this level.


    As Li Caishi spoke, a ray of Sword Qi shot out from her fingertips towards Jiang You''s Red Refined Spear, and with a clang, the two clashed into each other. Jiang You was pushed back a few steps, but he was not beaten up like Jin Rui, who was unable to stand up, and continued to thrust his spear towards Li Caishi.


    "Seems like she has some strength," Li Caishi flicked her ten fingers, and streams of Sword Qi shot out from her fingertips.


    Jiang You anxiously blocked with his sword, every single sword qi had been destroyed by him, but he could tell that he had blocked very well, and would not be able to last for more than three seconds.


    "Heart Eating Bug," Bai Yi pointed between his eyebrows, and a large number of bugs suddenly flew out from between his brows and floated towards Li Caishi.


    "Is it using the Heart Eating Bug as the martial soul?" Li Caishi was slightly surprised, this Heart Eating Bug was a rare bug, they had a very strong devouring ability, but it was difficult to catch it. Furthermore, the process of refining the Heart Eating Bug into a martial soul was very dangerous, and if one was slightly careless, it was possible that it would be devoured by the Heart Eating Bug.


    "Thousand Thread Transformation," Li Caishi crossed her hands together and her ten fingers trembled non-stop. Lines of threads shot out from her ten fingers, crisscrossing across each other like blades towards the Heart Eating Insects, each one of them was killed, and the bugs that filled the sky fell down from the sky like rain, looking a little disgusting.


    At this time, Bing Tong pointed at the space between her eyebrows again and a gust of cold air shot out. Wherever the cold air passed by, it would freeze into ice and the threads would also be frozen.


    Jiang You took the chance to attack Li Caishi with her Red Refined Spear, this attack was very sudden, and if Jiang You were to hit him, she could even kill Li Caishi.


    Li Caishi''s eyes turned cold, she pointed at her forehead and a sharp sword shot out from between her eyebrows. Her martial soul was just an ordinary Sword Martial Spirit.


    The sharp sword clashed with the Scarlet Refined Spear, Jiang You only felt his arm go numb, and was sent flying again. At the same time, a huge force spread out like a ripple and sent Bing Tong and Bai Yi flying too.


    Li Caishi did not take advantage of their victory to give chase. In truth, these three people had already gone past the ten seconds mark, far surpassing Li Caishi''s requirement. However, the three people did not need to endure for ten seconds, they needed to defeat Li Caishi.


    Seeing that Li Caishi was not going to attack again, the three of them did not persist, and retreated, feeling a little regretful, in their eyes, this was not an assessment, but an opportunity to cultivate, after all, not many people would have the chance to fight with such an expert.


    "As expected of the number one genius of the Jiang Family, this Bai Yi and Bing Tong are both powerful people. Three of them working together actually managed to force Li Caishi to use the martial soul."


    "I wonder if Fang Xin has the ability to do so, his team''s average strength is also at the eighth stage of Life Seizing."


    Everyone looked at Jiang You and the other two in surprise, then curiously at Fang Xin, since Fang Xin was able to force Li Caishi into this place, then Fang Xin should be able to.


    "The three of you," Li Caishi actually called out the three of them.


    Fang Xin and the other two men walked out. The tall man on the left was called Qing Han, but the skinny man on the side was called the rest of his life.


    The three of them started to attack Li Caishi at the same time, unlike Jiang You and the other two, the three of them did not cooperate at all, but continued to attack unarmed. Qing Han was unarmed, but every punch was extremely powerful, with enough strength to explode the air, an ordinary expert at the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm would find it difficult to resist, and he did not have such a strong power for the rest of his life. However, his speed was extremely fast, to the point where he could not even catch up with the naked eye.


    Fang Xin used the jade flute as his weapon. Although the three of them did not match, each and every attack of hers was powerful, and it was actually difficult for Li Caishi to defeat the three of them. Since the three of them did not threaten her life, she did not use his killing moves either.


    Li Caishi and Fang Xin''s fight had stopped after a while. This fight did not look exciting, but they were clashing head on and each of their moves were fatal.


    There were some that passed, but some that did not, and even more that were beaten to death by Li Caishi, the crowd now knew that Li Caishi would not intentionally hold back his strength, nor would she intentionally kill people. If he used the same strength, then being killed by her would only be insufficient for your strength, but these groups did not have too many shocking performances.


    "You three," Li Caishi finally pointed at Di Chen.


    "It''s this guy who doesn''t have any Yuan Power. I wonder what methods he has. There''s no way to cheat in the second round of the exam."


    "The Cao Yuer by his side previously had some fortuitous encounters in the Thousand Monster Mountain, I wonder how she compares herself with Huang Zhan, the other one is six stages, if she is compared with these new students, it would be normal, but I''m afraid it will be difficult for such a team to pass the examination."


    Not many people had confidence in Di Chen. After all, the three of them did not have a strong cultivation realm and were not famous.


    Di Chen and the other two walked in front of Li Caishi, who had a murderous look in her eyes.


    Di Chen secretly complained. This Li Caishi really wanted to kill him.


    "I will first go and check just how strong Li Caishi is, the Empyrean Terminus Fist," Cao Yuer was also very bold, she actually rushed forward without waiting for Li Caishi to make a move.


    "Yu''er, come back," Di Chen''s face changed, and immediately shouted, this Cao Yuer was really reckless, how could she not know that this Li Caishi wanted to kill her?


    Li Caishi squinted her eyes and sent a fist out to meet Cao Yuer. The two fists clashed, and with a creaking sound, one of Cao Yuer''s arms was broken off from the impact. Her entire body flew out, rolled over a dozen times on the ground, and lost the ability to fight.


    "It can''t be, so weak?" Everyone was surprised, Cao Yuer also obtained benefits from the Thousand Monster Mountain, he was not just a little bit worse off than Huang Zhan.


    Actually, this was also because Cao Yuer had obtained the Spirit Opening Pill. Although her Inherent Skill had increased, she did not have enough time to cultivate.


    However, Cao Yuer was not as weak as the crowd thought, if she was strong enough, she would have been punched to death by Li Caishi already. In fact, during this period of time, she had improved a lot, no one could see it, but Li Caishi could see it, after all, she wanted to kill her with that punch.


    Seeing that Cao Yuer had not died, Li Caishi raised her eyebrows slightly, and flicked her finger, causing a burst of Sword Qi to shoot out towards Cao Yuer. If it had hit her, she would have definitely died, but it was just that at that time, Cao Yuer already had no time to dodge.


    "Di Chen, quickly save her," the distant Cao Rouer shouted anxiously. She could tell that Li Caishi wanted to kill Cao Yuer.


    Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli also frowned. Previously, Li Caishi did not intentionally kill people, but now, she actually had a selfish desire to kill Cao Yuer?


    Even if Li Caishi wanted to kill Cao Yuer, they would not be able to stop him.


    "She''s dead for sure," the rest of the people shook their heads. Everyone could tell that Li Caishi was trying to kill Cao Yuer on purpose.


    "Freeze!" But just at that moment, Di Chen suddenly bellowed out loud, the Sword Qi actually stopped right in front of Cao Yuer, as though it was sealed by an invisible force, it was only an inch away from his forehead.


    Di Chen maintained his posture and anxiously shouted: "Yu Er, come back quickly, I can''t hold on much longer."


    Cao Yuer regained her senses and immediately crawled up, retreating to Di Chen''s side. At this time, Di Chen could not hold on, the Sword Qi exploded in Cao Yuer''s original location, and with a bang, it created a huge pit.


    "This ¡­" Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. So it turned out that Li Caishi had previously been holding back her strength, but this time she did not, which meant that Li Caishi wanted to kill her opponent. Everyone did not understand why, but what made them curious was how she did not hold back.


    "What kind of move is that? This is the first time I''ve seen someone freeze their sword Qi."


    "Strange, why is it that there are no elemental energy waves in his body when he uses his moves? Does he not need elemental energy?"


    Everyone looked at Di Chen in confusion. Why was this fellow''s move so strange?


    Even Fang Xin and Jiang You who were far away were surprised by this scene, and intentionally glanced at Di Zhe, although they could not see through Di Chen''s cultivation at the moment, but he was truly powerful.


    "He really is the literati," Mu Zhongli smiled. "And he is quite strong."


    Liang Xinghe said: "Don''t be too happy too early, you just saw Li Caishi and wanted to kill them too. It seems that Li Caishi won''t give them the chance to do so."


    When Mu Zhongli heard this, his face turned serious again. It would be a pity if Di Chen was killed, but it would be hard for him to interfere in this competition.


    Li Caishi''s gaze landed on Di Chen, and actually rushed straight towards Di Chen. This was the first time she had seen her take the initiative to attack.


    Di Chen immediately pulled Cao Yuer behind her. She already had no way of fighting, Di Chen could not let her be in danger, and since Li Caishi wanted to kill her, she could only try her best.

 C67

    Li Caishi punched towards Di Chen, this punch did not hold back at all.


    Di Chen anxiously used his fist to clash with Li Caishi, with the collision of the two fists, Di Chen''s arm made a creaking sound, and was immediately broken. His entire body was flipped over by a powerful force, and rolled over a dozen times on the ground.


    "Thousand Thread Transformation," Li Caishi took advantage of her victory to give chase as her ten fingers shot out threads after threads. The threads that filled the air shot towards Di Chen like silver needles.


    The power of the scholar surged out from Di Chen''s body. He immediately wrote a few words called "Break" in the air, and the words immediately flew towards the threads.


    Bang


    Those threads melted into nothing within the ripples, but there were still a few threads that were not destroyed. The threads penetrated through the explosion and shot into Di Chen''s body. Li Caishi controlled the threads and swung them forcefully, once again knocking Di Chen over and smashing him heavily into the ground.


    Di Chen''s body was not as strong as a normal warrior''s, instead he was very weak. His bones looked like they had been broken, as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    This "Broken" formula was already Di Chen''s strongest formula, and just now, Di Chen had used up most of his power as a scholar, but he was still unable to withstand a single move from Li Caishi. Although she had suppressed his cultivation, Di Chen was still too strong.


    "He''s not dead yet?" Seeing that Di Chen was actually able to block it, Li Caishi''s gaze turned cold, and he leaped up again, the ten finger thread once more shot towards Di Chen.


    Threads of light filled the entire sky as they shot towards him. If he was hit, Di Chen would probably be pierced into a sieve.


    "This ¡­" Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised. How was this Li Caishi taking the examination? She clearly wanted to kill the other party.


    Both Cao Rouer and Shang Yu looked at Li Caishi with killing intent, their hands clenched into fists. However, they had no way to interfere with the assessment, they could only pray that Di Chen could survive.


    "Di Chen, let''s see if you''ll die this time," Huang Zhan, Ai Yeshi and Jin Rui, on the other hand, had smiles on their faces. They hated Di Chen to the core, and were excited to see him beaten into such a sorry state.


    Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli shook their heads, they never thought that Li Caishi would actually intentionally kill Di Chen, looks like it would be difficult for the literati to escape this crisis.


    "Di Chen..." Cao Yuer knew that she wanted to kill Di Chen, but she never expected her attack to be so heavy. Seeing Li Caishi charge towards Di Chen, she was so anxious that tears flowed out of her eyes.


    Di Chen clenched his teeth, staring straight at Li Caishi, he suddenly took out a large amount of paper with the word "established" written on it and threw it at Li Caishi.


    "Stop," Di Chen shouted loudly. The pieces of paper emitted a strange power, and the threads, including Li Caishi, stopped right in front of him, just like a stationary shot.


    "My body ¡­" Li Caishi''s expression changed slightly. She could not move at all.


    "You won''t be able to kill me that easily," Di Chen roared harshly, taking the chance to take a step forward and ruthlessly smash a fist on Li Caishi''s chest. Li Caishi only felt as if he had been smashed by a small mountain, and his entire body flew ten metres away, rolling on the ground and spitting out a large mouthful of blood.


    After this punch, Di Chen also fell to the ground weakly, his hands supporting himself on the ground. He had already used all of his strength just now, if he did not defeat Li Caishi with this punch, he would not be able to resist.


    "It can''t be, he actually injured Li Caishi. This guy doesn''t have any spirit energy fluctuations, why is he so powerful?"


    "It looks like ten seconds have passed, this guy can actually last ten seconds by himself!"


    Previously, Jiang You and his team had to work together to barely fight against Li Caishi, but at that time, Li Caishi had not used her full strength, but now, Li Caishi was actually heavily injured without holding back?


    Looks like the reason why he was able to pass the first round of examination was not due to luck or cheating. This fellow was even stronger than Jiang You and Fang Xin, where did he come from?


    At this moment, everyone was curious about Di Chen.


    Li Caishi used the ground to support herself up, she looked at Di Chen with hatred, then at the space between her eyebrows, a sharp sword shot out, straight at Di Chen.


    It had already been ten seconds and Li Caishi still wanted to attack?


    "Li Caishi, what are you doing?" Cao Rouer was angered to the point that she had no time to save him. She did not expect Li Caishi to be so shameless.


    Shang Yu looked at Li Caishi with hatred. She hated it when people tried to harm Di Chen the most, but this Li Caishi actually wanted to kill Di Chen. How could she endure this kind of thing?


    Right at that moment, Qiu Tang suddenly appeared in front of Di Chen, holding a fan in his hand, he casually waved it, causing a wind blade to intercept the sharp sword.


    Bang!


    The wind blades and wind blades clashed, but the two clashed and dissipated at the same time, a ripple sweeping out in all directions, causing Qiu Tang to not move an inch, but Li Caishi still retreated a few steps.


    "Hmm?" Li Caishi was slightly startled, her eyes squinted as she stared at Qiu Tang: "Didn''t you steal ¡­"


    "Senior Sister," Qiu Tang laughed and said, "It has already been ten seconds, how can you still attack?


    Li Caishi stared at Qiu Tang for a while before withdrawing his spirit force. She glanced at Di Chen and quickly recovered his calmness, not having the killing intent from before: "You have passed."


    Qiu Tang laughed, then helped Di Chen up: "Brother Di Chen, are you alright?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "I didn''t expect you to be so powerful, thank you for saving me."


    Qiu Tang laughed: "Don''t thank me, the battle between you and Li Caishi was too intense, I did not have any chance to interfere, I relied on you to pass this assessment."


    Although he did not attack in time, how could Di Chen not see that he was extremely strong. He was extremely curious about Qiu Tang''s identity, it seemed like this fellow was purposely teaming up with him.


    Qiu Tang was still smiling merrily. His smile was very amiable, not one bit cunning. However, one could tell that he vaguely knew that Di Chen had guessed that he had some sort of ulterior motive.


    Cao Yuer staggered over, and said angrily: "This Li Caishi actually went against the rules to kill us, and had the same moral character as her sister. She''s too much, I''ll remember this grudge."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "After all, we were the ones who killed her sister. It''s normal for her to want to kill us first, so let''s go back first."


    The three of them returned to the crowd, and Li Caishi continued to test the other disciples, but at this time, no one was in the mood to look, they stared at Di Chen curiously. Previously, everyone thought that Jiang You and Fang Xin were the seeded participants of the competition, but now it seemed that Di Chen was not weaker than the two of them.


    "It''s fortunate that nothing happened to him," Mu Zhong Li said with a sigh of relief. "If he had died, our Sky Realm Academy would have been one less literati."


    Liang Xinghe said: "But Li Caishi will not give up on killing him, I think she will find another opportunity to do so in the future."


    Mu Zhongli raised his eyebrows, "I will get Caishi''s teacher to remind her not to act recklessly. If not for Qiu Tang, our Sky Realm Academy would have lost a talent."


    As he spoke, Qiu Tang revealed a look of curiosity, "Although this person''s previous attack seemed ordinary, it''s obvious that he is not at the level of Lifestealer Realm."


    Although Li Caishi had suppressed her cultivation to the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, ordinary ninth stage Life Seizing cultivators would not be able to easily block this strike from Li Caishi.


    "Qiu Tang?" Mu Zhongli whispered the name. He frowned and thought for a moment. "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere before."


    Liang Xinghe was silent for a moment, then said: "If I remember correctly, the Fourteenth Prince of our Thousand Autumn Dynasty is called Qiu Tang, I heard that he is one of the Flame Emperor''s most favored princes, with both talent and strategy, and there is a rumor that he will inherit the Flame Emperor''s position in the future.


    It was only then that Mu Zhongli remembered Qiu Tang''s identity. No wonder he was so powerful, the prince of the imperial court had always been nurtured by the imperial government, why would he come to the Sky Realm Academy?


    Mu Zhongli frowned as he looked at Qiu Tang. He did not like to interact with the imperial government, but since this prince came to the Sky Realm Academy as a student, he would naturally not stop him.


    In truth, Qiu Tang coming to the Sky Realm Academy this time had nothing to do with them, so the Flame Emperor had sent him to investigate what kind of person Di Chen was.


    A few minutes later, the second round of the examination finally ended. There were a total of five groups that passed the examination, and the other five groups were eliminated. In other words, there were fifteen people who finally joined the Sky Realm Academy.


    Li Caishi read the names of the people who passed the examination, and when she read Di Chen''s name again, she gave him a profound look, and then proceeded to simple explain what they were going to do next. Then she calmly left as if nothing had happened.


    Di Chen stared at Li Caishi''s back, thinking that she would not give up on killing him, this time was troublesome, Huang Zhan, Ai Yeshi and other troubles had not been solved yet, now another Martial King had come!


    "Senior Sister Li." When Li Caishi passed by Chen Zhiyun, she called out to her, "Do you have enmity with this Di Chen?"


    Li Caishi did not hide anything. "Huang Zhan told me that Li Xin died in Di Chen''s hands, and I must kill him to avenge Xin''er."


    Chen Chenyun laughed bitterly: "In fact, you know what kind of person Huang Zhan is, even if he killed Li Xin, it would be because they were at fault, and Xin''er must be implicated by him."


    "I only know that it was Di Chen who killed Li Xin," Li Caishi naturally knew of this situation. Previously, she had often advised Li Xin to stay away from Huang Zhan, but Li Xin just wouldn''t listen.


    Chen Zhi Yun sighed, thinking to himself, even if Di Chen were to join the Sky Realm Academy, he would not be able to live a good life, who told him to offend a Martial King?


    The end of the second round of examinations meant that Sky Realm Academy''s entrance examination for the day was already completely over. Fifteen people entered Sky Realm Academy, and those who failed were sent out of the academy.

 C68

    Just then, a forty year old middle aged man walked over, summoned all the people who had passed the examination, and distributed some pills to the other students. These were for healing their injuries, and after taking them, their injuries immediately recovered, and even Di Chen''s broken arm recovered.


    Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder, thinking, as expected of the Sky Realm Academy, such a miraculous pill, such a pill would cost at least a hundred thousand, he sure was extravagant.


    First of all, I want to congratulate you fifteen people. From now on, you are all students of the Sky Realm Academy, and you know that every year, our Sky Realm Academy will produce a large number of strong warriors, if you can graduate from the Sky Realm Academy, then your position in the outside world will be different, regardless of whether you are going to roam the world or enter the Imperial Court, you will have a great use. "


    In truth, many of the people in the imperial court currently graduated from Sky Realm Academy, so even though Zhong Li did not like to interact with the imperial government, in reality, the Sky Realm Academy had a very high status in the imperial government.


    "You did pretty well just now, so I''m going to get off work based on your performance just now."


    The Sky Realm Academy was divided into four classes, A, B, C, and D, and they were split into different classes based on a person''s talent, effort, character, and strength. The most outstanding students would be divided into the A class class, followed by Class B, where Class C and Ding would be the weaker class.


    ", Jiang You, Qiu Tang, Qiu Tang, Cao Yuer, Cao Yuer."


    There was no suspense when Fang Xin and Jiang You entered the A class, but and his group did not perform well just now. If not for them, they might not even be able to pass the examination, and yet, the two of them did not manage to enter the A class?


    As for Qiu Tang, there was no need to mention anything about him. He was Fourteenth Prince of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, one of the people who would be selected as one of the emperors in the future. However, considering how talented he was, if others could not see through him, how could Mu Zhongli not know?


    Cao Yuer stuck her tongue out at Di Chen, and laughed mischievously, but Di Chen did not mind.


    Wang Wei continued to recite, "Qing Han, Bai Yi, Bing Tong, you will be in Class B for the rest of your life."


    These four people were not weak either, they were rare geniuses outside, but they were divided into Class B''s, who knew how high the Sky Realm Academy''s demands were.


    Huang Zhan was eventually assigned to Class C, while Ai Yeshi and Jin Rui were assigned to Class D, but they were both unable to read Di Chen''s name at the end of the division.


    "Teacher Wang Wei, what about me?" Di Chen asked in a daze. He did not even have a class?


    Wang Wei laughed, "You don''t belong to any class. Go and report to Teacher Yang Mengqi. Someone will bring you there later."


    Everyone looked at Di Chen with a puzzled expression, thinking that his performance just now was obviously not bad, could it be that it was because his Inherent Skill was too good, that the Academy wanted to assign him a teacher to specially teach him how to cultivate?


    Wang Wei did not explain either, allowing his old disciples to lead these new students to report on their classes.


    "Di Chen, I''m going," Cao Yuer said goodbye to Di Chen. Sky Realm Academy was very big and had a very heavy training mission.


    Di Chen laughed, "Cultivate well, don''t be lazy."


    Cao Yuer stuck her tongue out at Di Chen, and Qiu Tang also bid farewell to Di Chen. Very quickly, only Di Chen remained standing here alone.


    Then, the fashionable rain walked over, and held Di Chen''s arm as they smiled: "Brother Di Chen, congratulations to you, you have finally entered Sky Realm Academy, at least you did not waste a seat for my brother."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "What''s there to congratulate, I don''t even have a class, what is Teacher Yang Mengqi doing?"


    "She," Shang Yu laughed, "She is the manager of the Spirit Garden. She is the one who manages the spirit field on the east side of the academy. She is also a doctor."


    Di Chen''s brows darkened. He finally understood and said with a sullen face: "Who arranged this ah, a warrior like me actually wants me to take care of the flowers?"


    Shang Yu glanced at Di Chen and said unhappily: "You really don''t know your fortune while you''re in the midst of fortune, unlike normal warriors, it''s impossible for you to cultivate martial arts like them, and it''s useless no matter what class you enter. Since Sky Realm Academy doesn''t have a teacher, I guess that the Principal knows your identity, so he arranged for you to go to the Teacher Yang.


    It was only then that Di Chen realized that all of this was arranged by the Principal. In other words, the Principal had been watching this battle the entire time.


    But Di Chen did not care, since someone would find out sooner or later.


    Di Chen said: "That''s true, although I entered the Sky Realm Academy, my cultivation is different from ordinary people. I do not need other people to guide me, the literati needs to comprehend the heavenly dao on his own, and read more books will do."


    With a sad face, he said, "But why did the dean arrange for me a teacher who can raise flowers and plants? I don''t know how to do this."


    Shang Yu laughed heartily: "You don''t understand, only some special disciple academies would assign them a teacher. Don''t look at the fact that Jiang You and Fang Xin are in A class, but I think they would rather change with you."


    Although Jiang You and the others were all in the A class, every class was teaching at the same time, and no one would receive any special treatment, and although Di Chen was the one who was teaching alone, in reality, this was a one-on-one education by Yang Mengqi. This was much better than the conditions one would get in the A class, since not many people in the academy had the qualifications to do so, but Shang Yu was one of them.


    The two chatted as they walked towards the Spirit medicinal garden.


    "Eh, isn''t that Di Chen who singled Li Caishi out? Why does it look like Monk Yu has a good relationship with him?"


    "That''s right. Shang Yu is usually cold, but now he''s actually laughing. What''s the relationship between these two guys?"


    Along the way, many people saw Di Chen and Shang Yu. Shang Yu normally did not like interacting with others, he always looked like he was staying away from strangers, but now he was holding onto Di Chen''s arm, the key point was that he was laughing so happily, and this was the first time everyone had seen Shang Yu smile like this. They could not help but be curious about the relationship between the two of them, some of them even had enmity towards him.


    Shang Yu heard the discussions and laughed, "Brother Di Chen, looks like you are really unlucky. I''m very welcome in Sky Realm Academy, if they find out that I''m your fiancee, they might come looking for trouble with you. I want to see if you dare to be more important to me in the future."


    When Di Chen thought about how Shang Yu had tortured him before, he could not help but ask: "How could I not value you? Do you think that in the future, would there be a lot of girls who like me in the academy so I could find trouble with you?"


    Shang Yu glanced at Di Chen unhappily and said: "Keep boasting, other than that Cao Yuer and Sister Su''er, who else would like you?"


    Di Chen giggled: "Don''t you like me?"


    Shang Yu glanced at Di Chen snappily. Her words made sense, she did not refute her words and pulled Di Chen away, ignoring everyone else''s gazes.


    In the middle of the garden, there were different types of Spirit Fruit Trees, green mountains and green water, beautiful scenery, fresh air, and not many people came and went there. It was very quiet, but it was a good place to study, and somewhere in the garden, there was a courtyard. It was very big, and there were also five or six rooms, and in the courtyard, one could see a blue-clothed woman around thirty years old who was fiddling with flowers. Her appearance was fresh and refined, not one bit worse than the rain.


    Shang Yu brought Di Chen and entered the courtyard, bowing to the woman: "Teacher Yang, the Principal said that in the future, the new student will help you train here."


    Yang Mengqi curiously looked at Di Chen, and said with a smile: "Principal Mu already told me about it just now ¡­"


    Her gaze landed on Di Chen as she said, "From now on, you will live here and help me take care of these flowers and plants."


    Di Chen bowed respectfully and replied: "Yes."


    "Then Brother Di Chen, I will leave first. Cultivate well, and I will come see you again when I have the chance," Under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to come here, so Shang Yu could not stay any longer as she bade farewell to Di Chen.


    Yang Mengqi obviously knew Shang Yu, seeing her attitude towards Di Chen, she was surprised, but she quickly guessed that the two of them were friends, and smiled without saying a word.


    Di Chen watched Shang Yu walk into the distance, then looked at Yang Mengqi and asked: "Teacher, what do you need me to do?"


    Yang Mengqi laughed: "You just entered the Sky Realm Academy today, so you should be exhausted after the two rounds. Rest well, I will assign you another mission tomorrow. There''s no one living in the room on the left, you should go and take care of it."


    had a very good impression of Yang Mengqi, she gave off a very gentle feeling, almost like Qin Suer. Di Chen clasped his hands together, and then returned to his own room, the room was not very big, and the arrangement was very simple, there was a writing table and a chair on each bed, but it was very clean, and it seemed like someone had cleaned it before. Di Chen organized it, and then, he took out the¡¶ Fate¡· that Liu Jingjing had given him.


    To Di Chen, these two tests were merely a part of his physical fatigue. After all, reading was part of his mental activity, and the increase in his literary strength was relatively slow. He could not relax even for a second.

    This¡¶ Heaven''s Mandate¡· introduced the life of the Yu Shan Scholar, it turned out that this Yu Shan Scholar also wanted to train, but unfortunately, due to his lack of talent, he was forced to abandon his martial arts and follow the script. However, he did not expect that this Yu Shan Scholar would have such great achievements in literature, with ten years of hard work, taking the examinations and becoming an official in the imperial court, finally becoming a prime minister. At that time, the imperial court had already written the first volume of¡¶ Heaven''s Mandate¡·, and it was widely circulated in the imperial court.


    "Heaven has no life, but men have. Life cannot be determined by the heavens ¡­"


    The first volume talked about how people could not be manipulated by fate, no matter how difficult it was, there was a way to overcome it. Believe in the victorious nature of men, and using his experience as an argument, the writer decided to abandon his martial arts and become a great scholar. This was the arrangement of a person who did not obey fate, which was a huge point of view, causing Di Chen to be excited, although he could not train in martial arts, but he could still learn martial arts, if he had abandoned himself at that time, he might not have achieved what he had today.


    "If the heavens are going to destroy you, then you must think of a way to destroy the heavens and step the earth beneath your feet." Di Chen thought carefully about the points of view in the book, this¡¶ Mandate of Heaven¡· was the complete opposite of Eternal Gate''s¡¶ Origin of All Laws¡·.¡¶ Source of All Techniques¡· was always flattering the heaven and earth, one had to respect the heavens and earth, but this¡¶ Mandate of Heaven¡· required people to turn the heavens around and not be controlled by fate.


    Di Chen thought to himself, for the Yu Shan Scholar to become a great scholar from a piece of cloth cloth, this is what it means to become a great scholar. This is what it means to become a great scholar from a piece of cloth.


    A man wins against the heavens!


    These four words continuously spun around Di Chen''s head. Di Chen seemed to have forgotten the existence of this world as he muttered these words.


    Outside the room, a ten year old child walked out from the most right side of the room. He had a round face and bright eyes, and was dressed in a wide robe, making him look young and tender. When he walked out, he just happened to see Di Chen who was reading a book in the room, and looked at Yang Mengqi suspiciously: "Sister Qi, who is this, why is he in our room?"


    Yang Mengqi looked at Di Chen: "He''s one of this year''s new students. The Principal asked him to come here and help me.


    Yuan Tong was a little unhappy after hearing this. "Why did the Principal allow him to come here?


    Yang Mengqi shook her head, she had her suspicions. Although the Academy had arranged for many students to be assigned instructors over the years, the Academy had never assigned any students to Yang Mengqi, and although there would be people who would come here to do odd jobs often, she did not know why the Principal would send Di Chen here instead of allowing him to train in other classes. It was probably because he did not have any suitable teaching methods in the past, so the Principal had her reasons for doing this.


    Yuan Tong saw Di Chen reading intently, his face had a weird expression: "This guy is actually studying, this is the first time I have seen a student who likes to study in the Sky Realm Academy."


    The Academy was full of warriors, it was a waste of time for warriors to study, and warriors always looked down on scholars, so Yuan Tong could not help but ridicule Di Chen when he saw that he was studying seriously.


    Yang Mengqi laughed: "Everyone has their own aspirations, you go and busy yourself first."


    Yuan Tong shot a glance at Di Chen, as if he was not welcomed, but it was hard to say, he could only water those Spirit Grass spirit flowers. Yang Mengqi curiously looked at Di Chen for a while, and could tell that she was a little interested in him, so she continued to take care of those Spirit Grass s after looking at them for a while.


    This time, Di Chen read for a few hours. After a few hours, Di Chen finally woke up from his cultivation, his eyes shone brightly, and a strange energy entered his brain, this power was not the power of a scholar, nor was it spirit energy. Instead, it was an abstract and vague will, which made Di Chen feel that his mind was much firmer, and that he had become more confident in his training.


    Di Chen smiled as he thought to himself, since the Eternal Mountain Family Scholars can do it, of course he can too.


    This ? Destiny ? was a good book. Anyone who read it would have their confidence increase. They would be filled with fighting spirit and the determination to train. It was naturally beneficial for their cultivation.


    Di Chen put away the¡¶ Mandate of Heaven¡· and started reading the first volume carefully. Di Chen thought to himself that he would have to read the second volume more often in the future. As for the second volume, he decided not to read it for the time being.


    After that, Di Chen took out a pen and paper to start copying the books. Other than preventing the books from becoming solo, it was also a part of his training, which could increase the power of the scholars in his body. Presumably, it was because of the < Destiny >, Di Chen suddenly became more passionate about copying the books, as though he was looking forward to his improvement after copying the books.


    Four hours later, Di Chen put down the brush and paper, and stretched his body, he realized that although he did not have Qin Suer to accompany him today, he had actually copied a book.


    He was full of passion and did things more smoothly. His speed of copying books had increased a lot, this was the fighting spirit and confidence ? Destiny ? brought to Di Chen.


    "Yi, the power of the scholars in my body seems to have increased a lot. I''m about to break through the scholar''s six stages." Di Chen was shocked, he thought to himself that this¡¶ Mandate of Heaven¡· was indeed extraordinary. To raise a person''s conviction, thereby increasing their cultivation speed and efficiency, this book was not only suitable for scholars, it seemed like even warriors could take a look at it. No wonder Yu Xuanji said that martial artists needed to cultivate first.


    The power of these words could not be underestimated. It could give people another form of psychological comfort and mental strength. This was also necessary for cultivation.


    Today''s martial artists only pursued strength, but there was always an end to strength. Spiritual strength was limitless, and these people never looked in the right direction for cultivation.


    No wonder there were so few War God in the world today. How could one become a god just by cultivating martial arts?


    The air was fresh here, making it a good place to read. Di Chen had even read the first volume of the book, reading it over a hundred times, which showed that reading it a few more times would be beneficial for Di Chen''s comprehension.


    "Heaven''s Mandate?" Yang Mengqi walked over and was slightly surprised to see the name of the book: "This isn''t the imperial government''s forbidden book, where did you get it from?"


    Di Chen stood up, bowed to Yang Mengqi, and explained: "This is a gift from Liu Jingjing."


    "She," Yang Mengqi also knew about Liu Jingjing and said curiously, "The imperial government forbids reading this book. If the imperial government finds out that you had this book, the consequences will be unimaginable.


    Hundreds of years ago, a cultural event broke out in the Imperial Court and many books were banned. ? Destiny''s Will ? was one of them, and the ? Destiny''s Will ? that was spread throughout the world had long been burnt out, so it was likely that only the Imperial Court would have a single copy of this book. If the Imperial Court were to see Di Chen reading this book, it would be a crime to behead him, but in reality, many scholars would be reading some forbidden books now, even the officials of the Imperial Court would be like this.


    The book was a good book, but there were some books that were spread around that were unfavorable for the imperial government, but Di Chen did not find out what effects the¡¶ Mandate of Heaven¡· had on the imperial government.


    Of course, what kind of government did this Yu Shan Servant do to kill him?


    Di Chen would of course be more careful. This Martial Region Continent was filled with the claws and claws of the imperial government, it would be bad if he was discovered.


    Yang Mengqi said: "Yesterday, you rested for a day. I think you should have recovered your strength by now. Follow me."


    Di Chen kept < Destiny >, then left with Yang Mengqi, and very quickly arrived at a Spirit medicinal garden. There were large amounts of ground root grass growing in the medicinal garden, which was actually quite common in the Thousand Monster Mountain, but ground root grass was the most commonly used auxiliary medicine for alchemy and had a large consumption. The students of Sky Realm Academy would often buy ground root grass for alchemy, thus the Sky Realm Academy grew quite a lot of them.


    Yang Mengqi introduced: "There''s roughly five acres of Earth Root Grass growing here, you should water these grass first. Remember to water every single one of them for three milliliters, do not pour too much."


    Di Chen did not do this before, he did this very carefully. When Yang Mengqi saw that he did not make any mistakes, she turned around and left, telling him to look for her after she finished watering his.


    Pouring the water with the flowers, Di Chen did it very quickly, and half an hour later, he finished his mission. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a field of snow grass in the distance.


    "Hmm?" She said that the medicinal value of the Snow Facing Grass was very high, and the price on the market was very expensive. Qin Suer was cherishing it like a treasure, she never expected that there would be so many things here.


    "Why didn''t Teacher send someone to pour the Snow Falling Grass over?" Di Chen looked at the time. It was currently early in the morning, and the Snow Seaweed was a special plant, requiring him to water it at this time of the day. Each stalk of Snow Seaweed would need at least four milliliters of water to grow.


    Di Chen thought that although his teacher did not tell him to be a good boy, he would still have to stay here to cultivate in the future.


    After pouring half an acre of water, a ten year old child suddenly rushed over and yelled, "What are you doing? Who told you to pour snow on this?"


    This child was Yuan Tong. Di Chen had been reading since yesterday, so he had not seen him before.


    Yuan Tong said angrily: "This Snow Gongzi Grass is very important. The time you pour the water over it is not right, and if you pour too much or too little, it will affect their growth.


    Di Chen said in a daze: "Every day, after being watered at dawn, it would take four milliliters of water to do so."


    Yuan Tong was startled, he did not think that the fellow was actually right. However, there was still a trace of anger on his face, and he scolded: "There''s no need for you here, you should go."


    Di Chen put down the water bucket and went to find Yang Mengqi, thinking that although this child was young, she had a rather big temper and seemed to have some enmity with him, causing Di Chen to not know how he had offended her, but Di Chen was fine with it, and headed back to the courtyard.

 C70

    Seeing that Di Chen had returned a little late, Yang Mengqi asked: "What took you so long?"


    Di Chen explained, "Just now, I saw an acre of Snow Seaweed that was not watered by anyone, and was successfully watered."


    Yang Mengqi was also stunned, and quickly asked: "How much water did you pour over?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "One stalk of four milliliters."


    Yang Mengqi let out a sigh of relief after hearing Di Chen''s words, but then revealed a curious look on his face. "How did you know to pour four milliliters of water on a plant?


    It was not common to find snow grass, and only the Thousand Monster Mountain had some wild snow grass. It was very difficult to survive and one couldn''t make the slightest of mistakes when planting the snow grass artificially, so when they saw that Di Chen had actually poured water over it, they couldn''t help but be a little curious.


    Di Chen shook his head: "I have a friend who is a physician, who specializes in medicine, healing, and alchemy, and is also very familiar with these spirit flowers and herbs. Previously, she and I also found a Snow Seaweed in Thousand Monster Mountain, she told me how to take care of it."


    Yang Mengqi suddenly realized something, and thought for a while: has very few pharmacists nowadays, I never thought you would know another one, judging from your tone, she seems to be quite knowledgeable, if there''s a chance, bring it over for me to see, if it''s suitable, then let her stay, although I have you and Yuan Tong''s help here, but sometimes I still can''t get over it, and I don''t have time to slowly teach you guys.


    There were many doctors in the imperial government, and there were many among the citizens. They could cure illnesses, but they did not know the art of pill refining, so doctors had to be able to refine pills, refine medicines, cultivate Spirit Grass, and other such things.


    True physicians had a very high status in the Martial Region Continent, and warriors were easy to obtain. However, it was very rare for doctors to meet, as the Sky Realm Academy had a class that groomed doctors, with many talented people, but very few were able to become true doctors.


    "Yes, teacher," Di Chen''s face revealed a happy expression, he knew that Qin Suer had learned medicine from a young age, but the problem was that she was still a teacher and did not know much about medicine, she still needed to learn, but her father had been persecuted by some officials of the imperial government and she had no way to learn anything. This Yang Mengqi was a doctor, if Qin Suer knew, he would definitely be very happy.


    "Oh right," Yang Mengqi reminded him, "You just came, so you don''t know how to take care of these spirit flowers and herbs. If you don''t know anything in the future, you can ask Yuan Tong.


    "Yes," Di Chen said as he bowed. He knew that Yuan Tong had picked him up and had been learning about medicine from Yang Mengqi, but in reality, he was not actually Sky Realm Academy''s disciple.


    After a while, Yuan Tong returned with a water bucket. He was relatively short, and wore very wide clothes. His face was young and tender, with a straight face, like that of a young adult.


    Yuan Tong looked at Di Chen with disgust. This was because he had lived together with Yang Mengqi since he was young, and did not like to be disturbed by outsiders.


    Yang Mengqi knew what Yuan Tong was thinking, and did not try to persuade him further, saying: "Yuan Tong, the Scarlet Purple Fruit to the west should be ripe by now, bring Di Chen to pick it."


    Yuan Tong was a little unhappy, he picked up a basket and walked towards the west without saying a word. Di Chen did not understand why he hated himself, but he did not mind either, taking the basket and following him, after a few minutes, he arrived at the west side of the Scarlet and Purple Orchid Garden. There were around ten or so Scarlet Purple Fruit Trees planted here, and the fruits were about the size of a fingernail, giving off a light fragrance.


    "After picking the fruits, wrap them in the leaves. This way, the fruits will be fresh and not lose their spirituality."


    Yuan Tong snappily reminded them as he began to pick the fruits.


    Di Chen did not immediately make his move. He first watched for a while before he began to pick the fruit.


    In the end, Yuan Tong did not hold back and asked: "Why don''t you go to other classes to study, and instead come here instead? It''s not like this place is suitable for warriors to cultivate."


    Di Chen did not expect Yuan Tong to suddenly ask this, and said calmly: "This is what the Principal had instructed, I don''t know what he meant either."


    Yuan Tong said anxiously: "Then go and apply to leave this place with the Principal."


    Di Chen said in a daze: "I don''t have the qualifications to see the Principal, so how can I apply for it? And since the Principal has his own reasons for doing so, why would he let me leave?"


    Yang Mengqi was not a scholar, but Di Chen did not understand much about Spirit Grass s and strange flowers, nor did he want to be a doctor. He did not understand why the Principal arranged for him to come here to cultivate, but since he had decided to do so for a reason and Di Chen had no way to apply to leave, the Principal would naturally not agree.


    Yuan Tong said angrily: "I don''t care, you can''t stay here anyways. It''s enough with Big Sister Qi and I here, you don''t need anyone else."


    Di Chen noticed that he called Yang Mengqi big sister Qi, but considering his age, he would have to call her auntie. He couldn''t help but be curious in his heart, seems like Yuan Tong''s feelings for Yang Mengqi was different, no wonder he didn''t want him to stay behind, it seems that he was afraid that he would disturb them. Yuan Tong was young, and had a lot of small intentions.


    Di Chen laughed, and did not say anything, he continued to pluck the fruits, Yuan Tong looked at him hatefully, and then retracted his gaze, Di Chen knew that he would not give up, and thought that unlike Huang Zhan and Ai Yeshi, Di Chen could not possibly use force to take care of a child, and that he would be in trouble in the future.


    A few hours later, the two of them had picked all the fruits before returning with the basket on their backs.


    When Yang Mengqi saw the expressions of the two, he knew that they had gotten into a dispute and did not try to persuade them further, "Di Chen, take this basket of Vermillion Purple Fruits to the Wind Cry Pavilion."


    These points had a wide range of uses, and could be exchanged for pills, weapons, cultivation techniques, etc. Thus, in most academies when they had free time, they would think of ways to complete some missions in exchange for some corresponding things. For example, in the past, there would be people who would go to Yang Mengqi''s place to help take care of the medicinal garden, which was why the points they could be exchanged for, but it was not easy to earn points.


    "Yes," Di Chen carried the basket of Scarlet Purple Fruits and headed in the direction of the Wind Cry Pavilion!


    "Yi, isn''t that the new student Di Chen who had fought with Li Caishi until both sides were injured?"


    "It''s him. I heard that he is very close to Shang Yu. I wonder what their relationship is?"


    "Don''t you know? I heard that Di Chen and Shang Yu grew up together, and the two of them are engaged to each other even though they are very young. This Di Chen is Shang Yu''s fiance."


    "What?" Shang Yu actually had a fiance? What qualifications does this Di Chen have to become Shang Yu''s fiance? "


    Many people on the road saw Di Chen, and recognized him as well. Firstly, it was because Di Chen''s performance was truly shocking, and there were not many people who could injure and suppress Li Caishi''s cultivation, and secondly, it was because of the relationship between Di Chen and Shang Yu that they had attracted others'' attention.


    Wherever Di Chen went, he could hear others discussing his relationship with Shang Yu. He was speechless, he never thought that so many people would know about it, he also knew that it was definitely Cao Fei who said it, he would really cause trouble for him.


    Di Chen acted like he did not hear the discussions of the others, and continued to walk in the direction of the Howling Wind Pavilion, about ten minutes later, he saw five people walking towards him, one of them was Ai Yeshi and the other one was Ai Yeshi, they had already broken through to the fifth stage of Life Seizing, and the other three were probably between the sixth and seventh stage, from the looks of their eyes, they did not seem to have any good intentions, Di Chen thought that he was in deep trouble now.


    "Di Chen," Ai Yeshi blocked Di Chen''s path, and laughed: "What a coincidence, I never thought we would meet again so soon."


    Di Chen glanced at Ai Yeshi but did not say anything. He went around him and prepared to leave.


    "Don''t go," Ai Yeshi stepped in front of Di Chen to stop him, and laughed: "I told you back in Hong Huang City that we still want to meet again. It wasn''t easy for us to reminisce about the past, why are you running so fast."


    Di Chen shook his head and replied, "I need to deliver this to the Wind Cry Pavilion and report this back quickly. I don''t have time to waste here with you."


    He might not have the time, but Jin Rui would not think that way, and laughed: "Hey Di Chen, you were previously so arrogant in Hong Huang City, how are you going to submit now, this does not suit your character at all."


    Then, he looked at a tall man beside him and said, "A Xiang, this is the dark horse Di Chen from yesterday. His fame has even surpassed Jiang You''s and Fang Xin''s."


    He was an old student here and was the strongest amongst them. He looked at Di Chen from head to toe and said playfully, "So you are that Di Chen, I heard that you injured Senior Sister Li Caishi yesterday, but why didn''t I feel a trace of Origin Energy in your body? Tell me, what despicable method did you use to injure Senior Sister Li Caishi?"


    "It must be because Senior Sister Li Caishi was careless, this guy is really despicable, she took the chance while Senior Sister Cai Shi was careless to injure her, and even made it seem like he has great talent," said another petite fifteen to sixteen year old girl. This girl is called Xia Lan, an expert in the life seizing six stages, she admired Li Caishi and had always viewed her as her target, thus she was a little angry when she heard that Di Chen had injured Li Caishi.


    Not everyone had seen yesterday''s competition, and many people instinctively doubted that Di Chen had injured Li Caishi. They guessed that Di Chen had used some kind of dark method, or perhaps Li Caishi had been careless, so many of the older students did not think that Di Chen was that powerful.


    Di Chen could tell that these people were deliberately looking for trouble. If it was before, he would have already made his move, but now, in Sky Realm Academy, there were experts everywhere, and it was not a good thing to offend too many people.


    Another man stopped Di Chen in his tracks, and said with an unfriendly tone: "I heard that you''re Shang Yu''s fianc¨¦, what qualifications do you have to become Shang Yu''s fianc¨¦?"


    This man was called Yu Hai, and was one of the people who admired Shang Yu. After knowing the relationship between Di Chen and Shang Yu, he somewhat hated Di Chen.

 C71

    Di Chen sized up the crowd for a while, still did not say a word, and went around the crowd and left.


    Jin Rui blocked Di Chen''s path once again, and mocked him: "Di Chen, you were originally a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Earlier, the person I led was not your opponent, so you killed people without hesitation, and now that you see that we have a lot of people here, your strength is stronger than yours, so you don''t even dare fart.


    Di Chen was truly angry this time, "I''ve already tolerated you a few times, are you done yet?"


    Jin Rui raised his head and said: "It''s not over, what can you do?"


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "You really don''t hold any grudges against me. Just a few times before, you brought people over to find trouble with me, and every time, the people you brought along were killed by me. Now, you want to harm these people?"


    The implication of these words was that if they were to fight, these people would all die.


    "As expected, you are arrogant," Yu Hai snorted: "What I hate the most is people like you who don''t know your place. This is the Sky Realm Academy, not your remote little mountain city.


    As he said that, he punched towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen was afraid that the Scarlet Purple Fruit would be damaged, so he hurriedly sent a fist out to meet Yu Hai''s fist. With two punches colliding, Di Chen was forced to retreat a few steps, and the Scarlet Purple Fruit behind him scattered to the ground.


    However, Yu Hai did not move and mocked: "You only have this much strength. With your level, what right do you have to be engaged to Shang Yu? I advise you to quickly leave Shang Yu and don''t implicate her."


    There were many spectators around, everyone knew that these few fellows were purposely finding trouble, their average cultivation was stronger than Di Chen''s, although Di Chen''s performance yesterday was good, but it was probably difficult for him to take on five of them, seems like he was truly unlucky this time.


    Di Chen glanced at the purple fruit on the ground, thinking that it would be impossible to leave without defeating them. He put down the basket, then took a step towards Yu Hai, throwing a punch towards him.


    "You still want to fight him head on?" Yu Hai did not feel any energy fluctuations from Di Chen''s body. Knowing that Di Chen was only using the brute strength, he couldn''t help but laugh mockingly in his heart.


    "Ahh!"


    The two fists collided once again, causing Yu Hai''s arm to bend so much that it was almost deformed. His bones were broken, and he was sent flying. He laid on the ground, screaming miserably.


    "Hmm?" With a surprised expression, Ah Xiang asked, "Why is this fellow''s strength so strong?"


    Ai Yeshi did not expect Di Chen to be so serious that not even Yu Hai could take one of his blows, and said earnestly: "The cultivation technique that this Di Chen cultivates is a little strange, do not be careless, let''s go together."


    With that, he was the first to rush towards Di Chen. Concentrating his spirit energy on his fist, he punched out.


    A huge fist figure smashed towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen welcomed it with a punch, and with a pu sound, he shattered the fist shadow. After breaking the fist shadow, he punched Ai Yeshi in the chest, the powerful force sending him flying as well.


    "Damn it ¡­" ''s punch did not manage to injure him, but it did heavily injure him. In his heart, he was not willing to accept it, even though his strength had increased by a lot during this period of time, he was still not a match for Di Zhe''s punch.


    Jin Rui brought out a Spirit Sword and thrusted it towards Di Chen. This sword was the White Jade Sword that he specially brought from the Jin family, a high-grade Profound Rank Spirit Sword.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen knew that he would not be able to withstand this attack with his own power, if he could not use his own strength, he could only release the power of a scholar. He wrote the word "Slash" in the air with his finger, and the word cut towards Jin Rui.


    Bang!


    Jin Rui pointed his sword at the word "cut", and then, a loud explosion resounded. Jin Rui was also flipped over, and heavily smashed onto the ground. The Spirit Sword fell out of his hands, and was unable to get up for a while.


    "Golden-winged Snake," Xia Lan pointed at her forehead, then a huge, dazzling snake with a pair of golden wings crawled out from between her brows and bit towards Di Chen. This was her true martial soul.


    "Freeze!" With just one word from Di Chen, the Golden-winged Snake stopped in front of Di Chen, and was only a few inches away from Di Chen''s head. Di Chen then smashed his fist towards the Golden-Winged Snake, causing the Golden-Winged Snake to scream miserably as it dispersed with a whoosh.


    "My martial soul!" Xia Lan screamed in fear, "This Di Chen actually destroyed her own martial soul?


    martial soul s were a symbol of their Lifestealer Realm, and most of them were their most powerful techniques. Their strength had been reduced by at least a few times, and once the martial soul was destroyed, there was no way to reform it, unless they voluntarily drop their cultivation to the realm of a warrior, and then break through their Lifestealer Realm again. This way, they could reform the martial soul, but Xia Lan''s life was already in six stages, so how could she be willing to cultivate again?


    "I want to kill you," Xia Lan said as she crazily charged towards Di Chen. Even if she didn''t have any martial soul s, she still wanted to kill Di Chen.


    "Xia Lan, come back!" A Xiang roared. He knew that if Xia Lan charged directly at him, she would simply be courting death.


    Di Chen calmly looked at Xia Lan who was rushing over, not the least bit worried. His calm handwritten "fix" word floated towards her.


    "What is this?" Xia Lan''s body shook, and as if he had been grabbed by a big hand, he couldn''t move at all. At this moment, Di Chen shot forward like an arrow, and smashed onto Xia Lan''s body, and similarly sent his flying backwards. Xia Lan tumbled dozens of times, and landed in a sorry state, but her life wasn''t in danger, and Di Chen had spared her life, so he didn''t want to kill her.


    "Dammit," A''Xiang leaped out with a sledgehammer in his hands and smashed it towards Di Chen. This was the high-grade Profound Rank spirit weapon, Heaven Subduing Hammer, which A Xiang had spent a hundred points on, saving these hundred points for a whole year. One must know that the Sky Realm Academy''s one hundred points was equivalent to the outside world''s ransom of one million silver.


    "Cut, cut." Di Chen wrote the word "cut" consecutively, two words turned into two blades that welcomed Ah Xiang.


    Ding! Ding!


    When the first move hit the Heaven Subduing Hammer, Ah Xiang was able to withstand it, but when the second attack hit the Heaven Subduing Hammer, Ah Xiang only felt his arm go numb and the Heaven Subduing Hammer flew out of his hand.


    "Impossible," A Xiang did not expect that his Heaven Suppressing Hammer would not be able to block this attack. With a tap on his forehead, a ten feet long white tiger jumped out from between his brows and roared towards Di Chen.


    Ah Xiang bellowed: "Di Chen, this is a level 8 demonic beast''s trap, let''s see if you can stop my martial soul with this move. Go and die."


    "Treadmill Tiger?" Di Chen squinted his eyes as the power of the literati surged out crazily from his body. He wrote a "Break" character in the air and floated towards the Gou Tiger, it was the strongest move that Di Chen had learned from the Sky Text Scripture.


    This "Broken" character was originally only of an ordinary size, but as it floated towards the wily tiger, it became the size of a window, emitting a faint halo from outside the character.


    BOOM!


    The Gloomy Tiger slammed into the word "break" and a powerful force dispersed. The "break" character and the Gloomy Tiger turned into specks of starlight at the same time and disappeared.


    "My martial soul ¡­" Ah Xiang''s expression changed. His martial soul was also destroyed?


    "This ¡­" At first, everyone thought that Di Chen was going to suffer, but they never thought that the five of them would be defeated so easily by Di Chen, and they couldn''t even take a single blow.


    A few people did not see the battle between Di Chen and Li Caishi yesterday, and thought that the rumors were exaggerated, but now it seemed that Di Chen seemed to truly have strength, to be able to easily destroy another person''s martial soul, it was not something an ordinary person could do, I''m afraid that even the older students in Sky Realm Academy were not stronger than him.


    Di Chen picked up the Scarlet Purple Fruit and put it back into the basket. Without even looking at Jin Rui and the others, he calmly left, as if nothing had happened. If it was in the past, he might have started to kill people.


    Jin Rui and Ai Yeshi grinded their teeth as they looked at Di Chen''s back figure. They had originally thought that dragging Ah Xiang and the other two would definitely defeat Di Chen, but in the end, they still lost so miserably?!


    But they won''t give up!


    After a few minutes, Di Chen arrived at the Wind Cry Pavilion. The Wind Cry Pavilion was divided into many levels, and each level could be used by warriors of different realms to supply weapons, pills, etc.


    The first level was also separated into several regions, some were for exchanging pills, some for weapons, some for cultivation techniques, Di Chen did not know where to send them to, and stared at his surroundings.


    "Teacher Yang Mengqi asked you to deliver these fruits to me, right?" At this moment, a youth walked over. This youth wore plain clothes and had a sword on his back. A warm smile hung on his face.


    Di Chen nodded.


    "Follow me." The youth took Di Chen and left. Halfway there, he couldn''t help but ask curiously: "Right, aren''t you not called Di Chen?"


    Di Chen asked curiously: "Yes, how did you know?"


    After he asked this question, Di Chen felt that he was very foolish. He was quite famous in the Sky Realm Academy, and since he knew of his own name, it must be because he knew of his affairs.


    The youth laughed out loud: "Yesterday, the news of you injuring Senior Sister Li Caishi had already spread throughout the Sky Realm Academy, you have to know that Senior Sister Li Caishi has also used this method to test the other freshmen, but this is the first time she was injured, and I heard that you are Shang Yu''s fiance, you don''t know how many people in the academy want to woo her, so everyone remembers you."


    Di Chen scolded Cao Fei, this guy was actually promoting everywhere. Now, for no reason at all, there were many people who hated him.


    "Oh, that''s right," Di Chen concentrated and asked: "What''s your name Senior Brother?"


    The teenager laughed, "My name is An Yue, I am one of the disciples in charge of the Wind Cry Pavilion, and I am also an admirer of Shang Yu. Although you and Shang Yu are engaged, I will not give up, so don''t let me snatch you away."


    Di Chen was speechless. He had actually gained another love rival, but this An Yue gave Di Chen a good impression, and didn''t sound like Shang Yu''s other suitors, who had just started to mock him and wanted him to leave Shang Yu. It was just that Di Chen was not able to see that this An Yue realm was probably at least a Martial King.


    A Martial King actually likes Shang Yu, Di Chen thought that Shang Yu''s true realm was probably much stronger than what he had displayed.

 C72

    Di Chen followed An Lai to the warehouse on the first level. This warehouse was actually a ice warehouse, and ice cubes of various sizes were piled up there, and on the left side there was a row of shelves, and on the goods'' list there were quite a few small bottles, and this bottle contained medicinal pellets.


    An Le pointed at a place for Di Chen to put down, then examined the Scarlet Purple Fruit and asked: "Why is there dust on the leaves that contain the Scarlet Purple Fruit?"


    Di Chen embarrassedly explained: I met a few of my enemies just now, but they wanted to find trouble with me and fought with them.


    An Le laughed, "There''s no problem with the Amethyst Fruit, and you don''t seem to be injured. It seems that you''ve won."


    Di Chen laughed, with his current cultivation, it was easy to deal with a warrior at the seventh stage of Life Seizing Stage, but difficult to deal with a warrior at the eighth stage.


    An Le brought Di Chen and exited the ice warehouse. She looked Di Chen up and down and asked curiously: "At the start, I had thought that you injuring Senior Sister Li Caishi was because of luck, looks like you have some strength, but why haven''t I felt a trace of spirit energy within your body? How exactly did you cultivate?"


    Di Chen laughed: "This is my secret, I cannot easily tell you all."


    Although it''s a secret, it''s not possible to hide it from others for too long. As a warrior, you don''t have soul force, other than literati, what else do you have, it''s just that currently, warriors have never seen literati before, and some people don''t even know that literati exists in this world, so they can''t guess it right now.


    An Xin didn''t mind, she reminded: "You are Shang Yu''s fiance, in the future you will be in deep trouble, the Sky Realm Academy has many strong warriors, oh."


    Di Chen helplessly scratched his head, he obviously knew that those who were arrogant were not the most powerful people, in fact, the most powerful people were all very low-key, but Di Chen was not worried.


    "Hmm?" When Di Chen arrived at the weapons sales area on the first level, he suddenly felt a strange power, this power seemed to resonate with the power of the scholars in his body, as though it was summoning Di Chen.


    Di Chen looked towards the direction of the power. Not far to the left was a counter, and on the counter was a brush, it was entirely black. It looked normal, but it had a strange attraction to Di Chen.


    Scholars like Di Chen did not like secret manuals, but they had a special reaction to the Four Treasures in the study.


    Di Chen immediately walked over, An Le''s curiosity was piqued, the two of them went over to the counter and Di Chen saw that the brush had the word "Yan Tian" written on it, the price was 1000.


    "A thousand silver?" The Sky Realm Academy was a martial artist, so the brush was not a weapon. Even if they sold it for too much, no one would buy it from them. But even if it was a thousand gold coins, no one would buy it.


    Di Chen looked at An Yue and asked: "How come there''s no one watching this place, how am I supposed to buy this brush?"


    An Yue smiled and said, "You can afford this pen?"


    Di Chen had a strange look on his face as he said, "I can still take out a thousand silver. Earlier, I hunted down quite a few demonic beast in Thousand Monster Mountain."


    An Yue said speechlessly, "What 1000 taels of silver? That''s 1000 points."


    "Points?" Di Chen originally wanted to take out the money, but hearing Shang Yu say this, he could only put away the money. Previously, he had heard that the Sky Realm Academy seemed to have a point system, the Academy would assign some missions, and after completing them, he would be able to get the corresponding points.


    Di Chen asked: "How do I look at a person''s points?"


    An Le explained: "You have just entered the Sky Realm Academy, and might not know this yet, but the Academy will give you freshmen a school badge. This school badge represents your identity, and the points you earn in the future will be stored in the school chapter."


    Di Chen finally understood that he had just entered the Academy, and the school emblem had not been issued yet. He looked at the Sky Splitting Brush somewhat unwillingly, thinking that he had to quickly earn a thousand points to exchange for this.


    An Le understood what Di Chen was thinking, and laughed: "It''s not that I''m trying to strike you down, 1000 points is not easy to earn, let me tell you this, a normal Profound Ranked Weapon requires at least 10 points, one point in the outside world is equivalent to the purchasing power of 10,000 silver, and that 1000 points is equivalent to the purchasing power of 10,000,000 silver, how long do you think you need to keep it?"


    "What?" Di Chen exclaimed: "This amount will cost 10 million silver taels?"


    It must have been due to the loud noise that attracted the attention of the surrounding people.


    An Yue wanted to show off too, so he pulled Di Chen and retreated to the side, and said: "I heard that this was picked up by Vice Principal Liang Xinghe when he was training outside, and it''s at a fixed price. However, until now, no one has ever wanted to buy it."


    Di Chen scolded him: "Of course, this is only a pen, it can be used to write and can''t be used as a weapon. It is completely useless to warriors, who would spend 10 million to buy this, why does this Vice Principal have to be so expensive, is there something wrong with his head?"


    Hearing this, An Le''s face immediately changed as he hurriedly made a silent motion, "You''re courting death. Even the vice principal is scolding you. If he were to hear this, you might even be deducted 100 points."


    Di Chen hurriedly stopped talking, thinking that he did not get a single point, if he was to be deducted another hundred points, he might as well just leave the academy.


    An Yue looked around to make sure no one heard, then whispered: "You don''t know, it is said that this is not the Martial Region Continent''s item, but was picked up by the Vice Principal from the Celestial Road, do you think the things in the Celestial Road can be ordinary?"


    "Celestial Road?" It was said that when warriors reached the realm of War God, they were not suitable to stay and cultivate in the sky. This Celestial Road was at the end of the territory of the Martial Region Continent, it was a long and long road, many people had tried to enter the sky through the Celestial Road, but no one was able to reach the end, and instead died in the Celestial Road.


    Not entering the War God, not entering the Celestial Road, these were the rules of the Martial Region Continent, but currently there was no one in the entire Martial Region Continent who was able to cultivate to the War God, so people had almost forgotten about the matters in the Celestial Road.


    Di Chen thought that since so many people wanted to enter the sky through the Celestial Road, the things left behind must be good. No wonder this vice principal set a thousand points.


    This reward was useless to normal martial artists, but it was hard to find someone who could control it. Those who had a chance to obtain a Heavenly Treasure would be able to use it, so 1000 contribution points was not too expensive.


    Di Chen thought that the price was reasonable, but how long would he have to earn 1000 points?


    Di Chen unwillingly glanced at the Sky Evolution Brush, and after saying his goodbyes to An Le, he left the Windchanter Pavilion.


    Previously, Shang Yu had "sacrificed himself" to lie to Cao Fei for a thousand taels, so how many years would he need to save this ten million?


    "Di Chen..." Not long after Di Chen left, he heard a scolding voice. He turned around and saw that it was Wang Wei, who arranged the class before. Beside him were Ah Xiang and Xia Lan.


    Wang Wei walked in front of Di Chen and said angrily, "A Xiang and Xia Lan were only looking for you to spar. Why did you attack so heavily and destroy their martial soul?"


    Di Chen explained: "I don''t want to spar with them, they insisted on blocking my path, and they didn''t come to spar either, they were obviously bewitched by Ai Yeshi and Jin Rui to kill me."


    Wang Wei was startled, he glanced at Ah Xiang and Xia Lan, and realized that the two of them were not telling the truth, but he did not care, "You are simply speaking nonsense, Sky Realm Academy does not allow random people to kill, the two of them are old students, and are well aware of the rules of Sky Realm Academy, so how would they kill you.


    Unintentionally injure me? You don''t know how to use a killing move when you don''t want to hurt me?


    How could Di Chen not tell that Wang Wei was here to vent their anger on these two? A perceptive person would immediately know that it was A Xiang and Xia Lan who were in the wrong.


    After all, he was a teacher, and it wasn''t convenient for Di Chen to refute him in front of everyone, and he couldn''t be good at leaving either.


    "If you don''t say anything, then admit it," Wang Wei snapped. "Kneel before me."


    Di Chen did not speak, but that did not mean that he was admitting his wrongs. He did not kneel down.


    Wang Wei''s gaze turned cold as his elemental energy gushed out. He said word by word, "I told you to kneel down."


    He only felt that his legs were extremely heavy, and were simply unable to withstand the pressure. Not long after, he kneeled onto the ground with a thump, as if his body was about to explode at any time.


    How could the surrounding people not understand what was going on? All of them were speechless. They knew that this Wang''s defense was short, but they never thought that Xia Lan and A Xiang were the ones who were at fault.


    Wang Wei looked down at Di Chen from above and said, "This is the Sky Realm Academy. Since you have entered the Sky Realm Academy, you must follow the rules here and release your martial soul."


    When everyone heard this, they were shocked. Could it be that Wang Wei wanted to cripple Di Chen''s martial soul?


    The crippled martial soul was Sky Realm Academy''s greatest punishment for erring students. Di Chen was not mistaken, but Wang Wei actually wanted to cripple his martial soul?


    Di Chen naturally would not release his own martial soul.


    "You disrespectful thing. You don''t even listen to your teacher''s words. You deserve to die a thousand times for your crimes."


    Seeing that Di Chen did not release the martial soul, Wang Wei grabbed onto Di Chen''s head and lifted him up, wanting to forcefully search for his martial soul.


    Di Chen only felt a special energy entering his mind to unrestrainedly search within his own mind. His soul felt like it was being pierced by needles, forcefully searching other people''s martial soul was extremely malicious, and would seriously cause a person''s soul to scatter. Usually, only those devils would do such a thing, none of the teachers in Sky Realm Academy had ever tried to search another person''s martial soul by force.

 C73

    "Isn''t this Teacher Wang Wei too much? He forcefully searched Di Chen''s martial soul. Could it be that he wanted to scare Di Chen to death?"


    "Maybe you don''t know, but this Xia Lan and A Xiang''s families have some power in the imperial court. They specifically instructed Wang Wei to take care of them, and now that their martial soul have been destroyed, how could Teacher Wang Wei let Di Chen go?"


    This scene shocked the surrounding spectators, and they all began to quietly discuss amongst themselves.


    However, when Xia Lan and A Xiang saw this, their faces showed a cold smile. It was as if they wanted to personally take action.


    "Hmm? No martial soul? " Wang Wei was puzzled. It was one thing if he did not have any elemental energy in his body, but he actually did not have any martial soul. Could it be that this guy did not cultivate martial soul?


    When warriors break through Lifestealer Realm, they would cultivate martial soul, and this was the foundation. A Lifestealer Realm warrior without martial soul would not be different from trash, and this kind of trash would obviously not be able to display his previous strength.


    Wang Wei was still not willing to give up, and continued to search Di Chen''s martial soul. Di Chen''s consciousness was dispirited, his body was trembling, if he continued the search, his soul would truly disappear, but he did not give up, causing the people around him to tremble in fear.


    "Whiz!"


    However, at this moment, a sharp sword descended from the sky, aiming straight at Wang Wei.


    Wang Wei threw Di Chen to the side and welcomed the sharp sword with a punch. Bang! The powerful force formed a ripple that sent the surrounding people flying, causing Wang Wei to be pushed back a few steps by the powerful force, and the sharp sword bounced back as well.


    Just then, a lady descended from the sky and caught the sharp sword. She looked at Wang Wei angrily, and knew that the lady was Yang Mengqi.


    "So it''s Teacher Yang." When Wang Wei saw her, he immediately smiled and said, "It''s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."


    Yang Mengqi said coldly: "You forcefully searched Di Chen''s martial soul, and almost caused his soul to scatter. Is this also called a misunderstanding?


    Wang Wei said seriously: "You don''t know, this Di Chen destroyed two of my students'' martial soul s. His attacks were so vicious, I only taught him a lesson to let him have a good memory."


    Yang Mengqi said: "Di Chen is my student, teaching him or not is my problem, it''s not your place to meddle in other people''s business."


    As a teacher of the Sky Realm Academy, I am naturally responsible towards the students of the Sky Realm Academy. The students of our Sky Realm Academy are all people with excellent morals and abilities, not these cruel demon ways. This kind of student will affect the reputation of our academy.


    Your student wanted to kill Di Chen, but was destroyed by Di Chen instead. You wanted to destroy Di Chen''s martial soul without asking any questions, was this also called preserving the school''s reputation?


    Which teacher in the academy would forcefully search for a student''s martial soul?


    Yang Mengqi laughed coldly, "It''s simply a disgrace for the academy to have a teacher like you. If you want to protect the academy''s reputation, then scram out of the academy."


    "You ¡­" Wang Wei did not expect Yang Mengqi to be so harsh on the ears even though she looked very gentle normally. She could not help but want to take action.


    Yang Mengqi was too lazy to continue talking with Wang Wei, she walked over to Di Chen''s side and helped him up, then asked gently: "How are you?"


    Di Chen''s expression was sluggish, his eyes unfocused and his entire body drenched in cold sweat. Just now, he almost died from a violent death, he panted and said: "I''m fine."


    Only then did Yang Mengqi heave a sigh of relief, and prepared to leave with Di Chen.


    However, at this time, Wang Wei stopped Yang Mengqi in his tracks and said, "This Di Chen destroyed two of my students'' martial soul s and violated the academy''s rules. I cannot let him leave just like that."


    Yang Mengqi said: "Him destroying other people''s martial soul is a violation of the school''s rules, then if you want to destroy his school''s rules, isn''t that a violation of the school rules?"


    Wang Wei said nonchalantly, "I said I''m a teacher at the academy. I''m just giving him a punishment."


    Yang Mengqi was too lazy to talk to him, so she stopped Di Chen and wanted to leave.


    Wang Wei once again stepped in front of the two of them, and said seriously: "Teacher Yang, I am Martial Saint''s six stages, and you are only Martial Saint''s triple stage. Furthermore, you have not recovered from your serious illness, so you are not my opponent.


    Yang Mengqi still did not speak, and pulled Di Chen away.


    When Wang Wei saw Yang Mengqi ignoring him, the elemental energy in his body surged and rushed to grab her.


    Yang Mengqi also welcomed Wang Wei with a punch. With a loud smack, a large wave of energy spread between the two of them and a layer of the ground was lifted. Yang Mengqi was knocked back a few steps while Wang Wei did not move at all.


    "I already said that you''re not my opponent," Wang Wei sneered. "Leave this Di Chen to me."


    Yang Mengqi held onto her chest with one hand. Seems like she had suffered from internal injuries, she stared straight at Wang Wei without uttering a word.


    Seeing that Yang Mengqi was still not willing to give up on him, Wang Wei continued to grab onto him. This time, his elemental energy was even more terrifying, if sshe were to hit Yang Mengqi, he would probably be heavily injured.


    "Stop," Just then, an old man suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, with a wave of his hand, he flipped Wang Wei over. It was Liang Xinghe who came over and berated him: "You two teachers, how dare you make a move in front of so many students, what class do you have?"


    "Principal Liang, it''s ¡­" Wang Wei did not expect to alarm him and wanted to explain himself.


    How could he not know the reason? He looked at Wang Wei and said, "If you want to fight, then go to the Martial Competition Hall. Is this the place for your private duels?"


    The Martial Competition Hall was a place for the Sky Realm Academy to compete, and the arranged battles would always be held among the disciples. In fact, the teachers of the academy would also occasionally go there to compete, and that place was a bit more formal. Although private duels were not prohibited in Sky Realm Academy, they were not allowed to go overboard.


    Even Liang Xinghe could not stand Wang Wei''s overbearing attitude anymore.


    Seeing that Liang Xinghe was angered, Wang Wei immediately replied respectfully, "It''s my fault."


    Liang Xinghe said coldly, "There is still one more month before the ranking competition. When that happens, don''t embarrass me."


    In fact, Martial Saint like Yang Mengqi also had a list of Martial Saint s. Every year, not only would the student unions participate in the ranking, even the teachers would participate in the competition, and the top three would receive rewards, such as pills, cultivation techniques, and points. Even though they were all teachers, they still needed points to purchase items, and the situation for the teachers and students of Sky Realm Academy was the same.


    However, there was one benefit to being a teacher. Every disciple who broke through a level would be able to earn a corresponding point. If their student managed to get a good ranking in the ranking competition, they would also be able to obtain points.


    In Sky Realm Academy, points were more important than silver. No matter the teachers or students, they placed great importance on it.


    Wang Wei bowed to Liang Xinghe again before leaving with A Xiang and Xia Lan.


    Liang Xinghe looked at Yang Mengqi and asked: "How is your body?"


    Yang Mengqi said calmly: "As usual, I can still hold on."


    Liang Xinghe sighed: "Back then, you were also a genius of our Sky Realm Academy. Originally, you could have entered the Martial Ancestor Realm, but because of this illness, your cultivation stopped at the peak, and there is still another month before the ranking battles. Work hard."


    Yang Mengqi shook her head: "I don''t want to participate in the competition for the Martial Saint''s ranking."


    Liang Xinghe advised: "I know that you no longer have any intention to fight, but this ranking tournament is different from the past. It''s said that the Flame Emperor is prepared to personally watch this competition, and he even specially took out some weapons, techniques, and medicine to reward each ranking board. I heard that the prize on the Martial Saint''s list is a Three Lives Life Recovery Pill, and that the pill has the effect of recovering your life, no matter how badly injured you are, you can still live, and it won''t be a problem to cure your illness."


    "Flame Emperor?" Even the normally calm Yang Mengqi could not help but be surprised, this Flame Emperor was the emperor who stood so high above the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and he actually came to watch the competition for the next position of the Sky Realm Academy?


    With so many sects and academies in the Martial Region Continent, he had never been interested in any of them.


    Yang Mengqi was surprised: "Why did the Flame Emperor suddenly come to my Sky Realm Academy to watch the competition?"


    Liang Xinghe shook his head: "I don''t know either, but since the Flame Emperor came personally, he has to consider the importance of this competition. No matter what, this is your only chance to cure your illness, so you must definitely participate."


    Yang Mengqi laughed bitterly: "But I am too sick, and my strength is affected, and I am only at Martial Saint, there are many people stronger than me in the academy, I''m afraid I will not get any good results."


    Liang Xinghe also sighed. Everyone wants this Three Lives Rejuvenation Pill, so naturally no one would be lenient towards him. With Yang Mengqi''s current situation, the chances of him getting it were indeed not high.


    Liang Xinghe''s gaze landed on Di Chen again, and said: "Although what happened just now was a mistake between A Xiang and Xia Lan, but you casually destroyed other martial soul s, that is indeed too vicious. You are also a scholar, and due to your ignorance, you aren''t a reckless person.


    If others wanted to make things difficult for Di Chen, he would definitely retaliate a hundred times, killing people unambiguously. As a scholar, his grievances were indeed too heavy, and this was actually not beneficial for cultivation, because there were some books where the principles were too extreme.


    To cultivate, one must cultivate the heart. To become a scholar, one must be wise and understanding what is good for the heart. Only by combining the righteous energy into one body could one become a scholar saint, and only then would one''s murderous heart be easily devoured by the heart.


    Di Chen clasped his hands together: "I understand."


    "Also," Liang Xinghe said with a long face, "don''t tell others that I have mental problems in front of me in the future."


    Di Chen frowned, thinking how did he know this. Did An Le say it?


    Liang Xinghe saw through Di Chen''s thoughts, "Don''t worry about how I know it, just remember my words. I know that the Heaven Exploring Brush is useful to you, if you want it, then work hard to earn points."


    Di Chen nodded honestly, Liang Xinghe did not speak further, and left.


    Yang Mengqi also brought Di Chen back to the medicinal garden.

 C74

    This is your school badge, "After returning to the medicinal garden, Yang Mengqi handed over the school badge to Di Chen. This school badge was completely black, it was the size of a ping pong ball, and was refined using celestial profound iron, so it could be considered to be the lowest level of spirit weapon s, which could be used to store points. This school badge had Di Chen''s name engraved on it, and it was a symbol of a student''s identity in the Sky Realm Academy.


    Di Chen took the school emblem, put it on his chest, and asked: "Teacher Yang, do I have any points to help out here?"


    Yang Mengqi shook his head: "You are different from others. Other people coming to help is considered a mission, but you are my student, so you helping me is normal, so you don''t have any points."


    Di Chen let out a cry, and said with a sad face: "There''s quite a lot of work here, not a single point. Isn''t this a bit too much of a loss?"


    Di Chen had a lot of things to do everyday, so if it were any other student who did the work, they would at least earn a point. However, Di Chen had nothing.


    However, doing a day''s work would only cost him one point, which was nothing for Di Chen. Although he grumbled in his heart, he could still accept it.


    Yang Mengqi laughed: "What, you don''t want to stay here without any points?"


    Di Chen shook his head. This place was quiet, it was suitable for a scholar like him to train, furthermore, he had a good impression of Yang Mengqi. It was very comfortable staying by her side, he did not want to leave.


    That''s right, "Yang Mengqi suddenly thought of what Liang Xinghe had said previously, and asked:" Vice Principal Liang said you are a scholar, and from what I see, you seem to like reading books. There are very few warriors like you, and you do not have any Yuan Power in your body.


    Di Chen thought that anyone with a little knowledge would be able to see through him easily, but he didn''t hide it at all: "I used to learn martial arts too, but my talent was lacking, and I couldn''t learn it. I abandoned my martial arts and started writing in hopes of making a name for myself in the Imperial Examinations, so all these years I studied hard and studied hard, but I didn''t expect that by chance, I would be able to comprehend the power of the written word and become a literati."


    Yang Mengqi was even more curious: "Didn''t you hold the Imperial Examinations a while ago? Why aren''t you, a literati, participating in the Imperial Examinations, and instead come to the Sky Realm Academy?"


    Di Chen smiled bitterly: "I went, but I failed."


    Yang Mengqi looked at Di Chen in surprise. The fact that Di Chen could become a literati already showed that he was very talented.


    However, the imperial government had its own selection system, it did not mean that you would definitely be able to get on the list once you have the talent. Yang Mengqi thought that there might be other reasons, so she did not ask for more.


    Di Chen asked. "Teacher Yang, the Vice Principal said you''re sick, what''s going on?"


    When Yang Mengqi thought about this, she could not help but feel dejected, she initially did not want to say it, but after pondering for a while she said it out loud: "Actually it''s nothing, this is an illness from the time I was born, today it''s getting more and more serious, I''m afraid I do not have much time to live."


    It was only then that Di Chen realized why Yang Mengqi''s expression was so unsightly. He consoled, "The Vice Principal said that if you were to obtain a good result in the competition for the Martial Saint s, you would be able to obtain a Three Lives Life Recovery Pill.


    Yang Mengqi laughed bitterly: "I am only at Martial Saint''s triple stage, my school is way stronger than me, there is no one who does not want this Three Lives Life Continuing Pill, the possibility of me getting it is very small, furthermore, I have not cultivated it since three years ago, and the Martial Saint''s rankings have never been held, with my strength, I am afraid that I will be eliminated in the elimination round."


    Di Chen laughed: "Teacher Yang, you are too lacking in confidence, you do not have any fighting spirit at all, you have to take a look at my¡¶ Heaven''s Mandate¡·."


    Yang Mengqi laughed, and did not say a word, thinking to herself, what use is a book to me, it''s not like it''s a cultivation technique manual.


    Di Chen only felt that Yang Mengqi lacked confidence, she had even given up on training, so of course shshewould not be able to improve if she abandoned her cultivation, but he did not know if that¡¶ Heaven''s Mandate¡· was useful to Yang Mengqi, so he did not advise him.


    After that, Yang Mengqi gave Di Chen a few more tasks to complete, and Di Chen quickly found a quiet place to start reading. He was still reading the first volume of ? Destiny ?, but after reading the first volume, Di Chen''s confidence had increased exponentially, and his cultivation had even sped up. Back then, the Yu Shan Scholar had also encountered many difficulties, but in the end, he had not yet become a great figure of his generation, and this book could give people a sense of vitality.


    Fighting against the heavens and the earth, Yang Mengqi had lost all will to fight. She thought to herself that she should really read this book.


    After reading the first book, Di Chen started to look at the second book. The second book was the second half of Yu Shan''s life, but what stunned Di Chen was that the second book was completely different from the first book.


    The fate of the stragglers of Mount Yu was not good. When the imperial court was at its best, they suddenly said that they wanted to rebel, and then they were exiled by the imperial court. A great scholar became a thief that everyone cursed at, and the stragglers returned to their original forms.


    "The heavens have their own destiny. A person is determined by the heavens, they are forced by their own will ¡­"


    The second volume of ? Destiny ? mainly talked about the destiny that existed in the underworld, how when a person was born, their parents, looks, and living environment would decide their person''s future accomplishments. The heavens had their own arrangements, everything was up to fate, they could not force it, or else it would only lead to disaster. No matter how much effort you put in, the process would be different, but the result would always be the same.


    He wanted to become a great man of his generation, something that had been passed down throughout the ages, so he worked hard to train in martial arts. However, when the path of martial arts was unattainable, he also studied literature. Although it was smooth at the beginning, in the end, he still ended up in a miserable state.


    "This Yu Shan Scholar is not at the mercy of fate, but in the end, he still became its chess piece. He admitted defeat."


    Di Chen sighed inwardly, thinking that this Yu Shan Scholar was also a pitiful person. He had fought and tried, but the result was still the same.


    "All living things have their fate, and one cannot struggle against it. When a person is born, their fate has already been decided."


    This was the point of view of the second book!


    The book said that he had seen a lot of people and could tell a person''s fate. In the end, these people were really the same as what he had seen; he was destined to end up like the other people he had met.


    Could fate be seen through as well?


    Di Chen thought that the words of the Mount Yu Scholar were a little strange. He continued to flip through the¡¶ Mandate of Heaven¡· and later on, he even explained how he saw a person''s fate.


    "Everyone has a life, a life with a color ¡­." Yu Shan warriors divided people''s fate into different colors. A person''s fate would be miserable, and their body would emit black rays of light. If a person''s future was very smooth, it would be red.


    Di Chen closed the book and took a deep breath. The Swallow Mountain Scholar had advised people not to fight against fate, but this Yu Shan Scholar was also a talented person, he had actually understood how to judge a person''s fate. He had never thought that there would be such a person in this world, even the fortune-tellers would not be able to see through a person''s fate.


    "Fate Spell?" Di Chen carefully savored Qiu Chen Shi''s book, his eyes flashed, and suddenly a strange power entered Di Chen''s eyes. This power was not his Spirit Qi, but was also not a scholar''s power, and was somewhat similar to a Spirit Qi.


    Di Chen picked up a copper mirror that reflected Di Chen''s figure. Di Chen saw that he, who was reflected in the mirror, was actually emitting an inky black halo.


    "This ¡­" Di Chen originally did not believe the words of the Mount Yushan Scholar. Seeing the black halo, his face was immediately filled with fear.


    "Will I end up in a miserable state?" When Di Chen walked out of the room, he was standing in the courtyard, fiddling with the flowers and plants. Di Chen noticed that she was giving off a faint red glow, which meant that her fate was rather smooth.


    Yang Mengqi was seriously ill, and she said that her days were numbered, but her fate was different. Did that mean that she could cure the illness in the future?


    Di Chen didn''t know if Yu Shan''s method of observation of life was real, but he was a little afraid in his heart. If my fate was destined to be miserable, then what was the use of hard work right now?


    Thinking about this, Di Chen''s expression could not help but darken. The Mount Yushan Scholar had said that the more he wished to change his life, the more miserable his fate would be.


    Di Chen was unwilling to accept this, he did not want to be manipulated by fate. However, the contents of the second volume were still lingering in Di Chen''s mind, constantly affecting his mood, causing Di Chen to lose all thoughts of cultivating.


    "Di Chen." Yang Mengqi walked over. Seeing that Di Chen''s expression seemed to be a little absent-minded, she asked. "What''s wrong?"


    Di Chen forced out a smile: "It''s nothing, Teacher Yang, you can definitely cure your illness."


    Yang Mengqi looked at Di Chen strangely. She didn''t understand why she said that, but she felt that Di Chen was different from before. Previously, Di Chen was full of confidence and sunshine, but now, he seemed to be decadent.


    Di Chen took out ? Destiny ? and handed it over to Yang Mengqi as he smiled, "Teacher Yang, the first volume of this book is very good. When you have time, you must read it.


    The first volume allowed people to fight with the heavens, fight with the earth, and fight with fate, giving people a type of mental strength. However, the second volume allowed people to have a completely opposite view, telling people to not fight with fate and to leave fate. Di Chen was worried that Yang Mengqi would feel the same negative emotions as herself after reading the second volume.


    Yang Mengqi received the¡¶ Fate¡·, which left with a sad face. Yang Mengqi was even weirder, thinking, could it be that the book had an impact on her? She anxiously opened the book to look, just what exactly is it that had such a huge impact on a person?

 C75

    After reading the first book, Yang Mengqi''s spirit was lifted, causing her to be extremely excited. She knew about the Yu Shan Scholar, but she did not know about the life of the Yu Shan Scholar. She did not expect him to be able to become a great scholar in an environment not inferior to mine, how many people in the world could be like him?


    "The heavens are against me, I will definitely change the heavens," Yang Mengqi thought. If the heavens did not give me a fair fate, then I would change the heavens.


    This was the first volume of ? Destiny ?. Fight against fate, and do not be manipulated by fate!


    She suddenly remembered that in her entire life, she had been sick since the moment she was born, she had no way to change this, because this was fate, the husband had told her that she would not live past ten years, she did not believe that, she would risk her life to train, but had still broken through to Martial Saint, and had already passed ten years ago, so wasn''t this fighting against fate?


    But now that Yang Mengqi''s cultivation had stopped, the illness becoming more and more serious, Yang Mengqi gave up, and followed fate. Since her fate had changed in the first half of his life, why couldn''t she do so for the rest of his life?


    Fate is my own, not the heavens''. Only if I don''t fight against the heavens would I be at the mercy of fate. Why should I follow fate?


    Yang Mengqi laughed, she suddenly became enlightened and thought that she had a chance of survival, the prize for the Martial Saint Ranking Competition this time was a Three Lives Life Recovery Pill, wasn''t this giving him a chance to change her fate?


    "My life doesn''t depend on the heavens, it depends on me," Yang Mengqi just now knew why Di Chen wanted to read this book. Although it couldn''t directly cure the illness, it could still give her confidence and fighting spirit.


    Yang Mengqi suddenly thought back to Di Chen''s expression just now, which was completely the opposite of his before. She thought to herself, if Di Chen did not let her see the second volume, could his reaction to it be related to the second volume?


    Yang Mengqi thought about it for a while and still decided to flip through the second volume. The second volume held a completely different perspective than the first volume, requiring people not to struggle against fate.


    "This ¡­" She thought to herself that Di Chen must have been affected by the effects of the second volume. Fortunately, Yang Mengqi had just finished reading the first volume, and was not affected much by the second volume, so after reading it for a while, she hesitated and flipped to the first volume, reading it again, the negative emotions in his heart immediately decreased. After reading it again, the negative emotions were even less, and by the third time, she had regained her confidence from before.


    "This is the power of writing. Being able to motivate a person, it can also destroy a person''s will."


    Yang Mengqi thought that a scholar would gain strength through comprehending the principles in the book. The more one studied, the more one would be affected, and a scholar like Di Chen who had studied the second book would definitely be affected more by the power than himself. It was normal for the effects to be greater, no wonder he would become depressed, cultivating like this was not good for him.


    Yang Mengqi hurriedly found Di Chen, who was sitting on a tree with a dejected look on his face. He did not have a single ounce of fighting spirit, how could this be similar to the Di Chen who dared to speak out and argue for him in front of Wang Wei?


    Yang Mengqi sat beside Di Chen, returning the¡¶ Destiny Decree¡· back to Di Chen and laughed: "I have finished reading it, and have decided to participate in the competition for the Martial Saint, after all, this is my only chance to cure my illness, I cannot give it up."


    Di Chen noticed that the red hue on Yang Mengqi''s body had deepened, which meant that she could cure her disease much more smoothly. He smiled and said: "Teacher Yang, your illness can definitely be cured."


    Yang Mengqi laughed: "Why are you so sure, is it because my body is releasing a light red light aura?"


    Di Chen was startled: "Teacher Yang, you saw the second volume."


    Yang Mengqi laughed, "That''s right, the Mount Yu Scholar created a method to comprehend a person''s fate. If I''m not mistaken, you must have learnt to see a person''s fate, it''s a pity that I don''t have your talent, but you scholars are different, your comprehension ability is much better than us ordinary people."


    Di Chen was not surprised that Yang Mengqi did not manage to learn to see a person''s fate. Di Chen had also taken a long time to comprehend the second volume, but the price of it was that she was too engrossed in it.


    Yang Mengqi leaned on a tree and thought for a while, then said: "The Mount Yu Scholar gave up after half his life, and followed the arrangements of fate. He still went around advising others not to fight against fate, but he is also a genius, even though he was exiled by the imperial government in such a tough environment, and has actually created a way to see a person''s fate. I''m afraid there aren''t many people in this world like him."


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "He is indeed a powerful person, but even he is unable to escape the control of fate, how can others?"


    Yang Mengqi laughed: "Half of his life is spent in becoming an important minister of the imperial court and she is revered by the people. He thinks that he has succeeded, that she has been exiled for the latter half of his life, and he feels that she still cannot resist the hand of fate, but he actually created a method to understand fate. I think that there is not a scholar or a War God capable of doing this, do you think that it is considered a success?"


    Di Chen stared blankly at his. Since ancient times, there had never been a person who could see the fate of others. How many people could actually do things that even the War God could not?


    He had already changed his life in the first half of his life. If the Yushan Scholar did not become depressed in the second half of his life, would his fate continue to be changed?


    There were only two volumes of Heaven''s Mandate. The second volume described the miserable life of the Mount Yu Scholar, but it did not say what the end result would be.


    Yang Mengqi flipped open the first volume of ? Destiny ? for Di Chen and said with a smile, "Read the first volume again."


    Di Chen still nodded after thinking about it, and started to read the first volume again. Yang Mengqi did not stay behind to disturb Di Chen.


    Two hours later.


    Di Chen read these words carefully, and his mood seemed to have improved a little. The more he read, the more he felt that the life of the Mount Yu Scholar was actually very interesting.


    The second time!


    The third time!


    Di Chen also did not know how many times he had read it himself. After every time, Di Chen would gain new insights, become a hundred times more spirited and filled with confidence, he closed his book for a long time, took a deep breath, and became much more cheerful. Once again, the negative emotions in his heart were completely erased.


    Di Chen thought that he was not suitable for cultivation before, and now, he had become a literati. Furthermore, his realm was not weak, isn''t this changing his fate?


    "My life depends on it from the heavens," Di Chen thought, after hesitating for a while, he flipped to the second volume, got ready, and started to read it carefully.


    After an hour, he had finally finished reading the second book. Di Chen was still regretful for the remaining half of Yu Shan''s life, but this time, he was not affected much.


    "The Teacher Yang is right, even though the Mount Yu Scholar is exiled from the imperial court, he still thinks that his life is miserable, but he actually created a way to observe his own life. In my opinion, this is much better than those Mysterious God grade cultivation techniques, he is much stronger than those War God s, how can this be called changing his life?"


    Di Chen thought that the Mount Yu Scholar was just not aware of it, and the book had disappeared after the second volume was completed. He wondered about his fate later on, who knew if he had changed his fate?


    "I am a scholar, and a scholar has to understand principles from books. Different people have different opinions on Yu Shan and the scholar''s book, but you must not be influenced by it, otherwise it will be very easy to become a demon."


    Di Chen thought about his previous dejected state and wanted to curse at himself. This book only expressed the author''s views, how could he be affected by it?


    Reading to understand one''s mind, reading to comprehend the Dao, and not being affected by such perverted logic. How could he allow himself to be completely followed in his footsteps when the Mount Yushan Scholar had his own path?


    Who said that his black halo would lead to a miserable ending?


    When a man lives, he will fight with the heavens, fight with the earth, fight with people. My life is controlled by the heavens, I fight with the heavens!


    Whoosh!


    It was at this moment that a strange power surged into Di Chen''s body. Di Chen could only feel that the power of the scholar in his body had doubled, and he had actually reached the seventh level of the Scholar Realm.


    "I actually improved so much?" Earlier, Di Chen was on the verge of breaking through the Scholar''s six stages, but now that Di Chen had broken through two small realms, the power of the scholar in his body had increased by more than a little.


    He then took out the copper mirror and looked at himself again. He was still covered in a black halo, and his fate had not changed, but Di Chen did not care at all, thinking that today, he had learnt to look at a person''s fate, if word of this spread, how many people would be envious and amazed, who could look at the fate of others in this world?


    "In the future, if I have the chance, it would be best to investigate the ending of this Yu Shan Scholar."


    Di Chen thought, but < Destiny > was a forbidden book, and the Yu Shan Scholar was a traitor.


    "It''s already so late?" Di Chen looked at the sky, then carried the book back to the courtyard.


    Seeing Di Chen''s calm face, Yang Mengqi thought that she had understood it, and laughed: "Are you not depressed anymore?"


    Di Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Teacher Yang, I lost face just now."


    Yang Mengqi laughed: This Yu Shan Scholar is a great scholar, you are a scholar, it is normal that you will be affected by him. Don''t be like this in the future, the principles in the books might not all be true, in the end, it is still the words of the family. Whether it is the warriors or the literati, they all have their own paths to walk on.


    The literati comprehended the dao, but he could not be affected by the dao of others. The literati was much harder to cultivate than the martial artists, but there was one thing that was the same, if one wanted to become a god, he or she had to find his or her own path of cultivation.


    Di Chen bowed to Yang Mengqi, and thought that luckily he came to Yang Mengqi''s place to train, if it was another teacher, he would not be able to understand the situation.


    Yang Mengqi laughed, "Let''s change our lives together in the future."


    Di Chen nodded twice. He did not notice that Yuan Tong was looking at him with hostility from afar.

 C76

    In fact, it was normal for her to break through the fourth level of Martial Saint. Yang Mengqi was originally a genius, and had swallowed a lot of medicinal pellets over the years, although she had not cultivated for a long time, she had a strong foundation, and once she started to cultivate, the medicinal power in her body would transform into boundless spirit energy and enter her body. Her cultivation speed would naturally be faster.


    ? Destiny ? gave people confidence, giving them a type of mental strength. After all, it was normal to cultivate faster after strengthening their conviction. This was what Yu Xuanji meant when he said that martial arts should be practiced first.


    Yang Mengqi experienced the benefits of reading books, other than cultivating, she would also discuss knowledge from books with Di Chen, it was just that she was not a scholar that knew much, the majority of it was Di Chen who said that she was listening, making it seem as though Di Chen was the teacher, and she was just a student.


    The two of them had a very close relationship, and they would chat and laugh everyday. This made Yuan Tong even more resentful, he didn''t like Di Chen disturbing his life, but now, he felt that Di Chen had snatched his sister away.


    After Yang Mengqi started cultivating, she rarely went to the medicinal garden to manage the herbs, so had to hand over the matters of the medicinal garden to Di Chen and Yuan Tong. Since Di Chen did not understand many things, he could only ask Yuan Tong, and Yuan Tong did not like Di Chen either, so there was always something he did to make things difficult for Di Chen, even if he asked for half a day, he would still not be able to understand how to take care of the herbs. In the end, it would take two hours for the things that should have been done in two hours, thus Di Chen did not have time to cultivate, much less to earn points.


    "Didn''t you say that you have a friend who is a doctor? Our medicinal garden is getting busier and busier. Go and find her.


    Yang Mengqi knew that she had delayed Di Chen''s cultivation for the past few days and felt somewhat guilty. She took out her school emblem and said: "This is my school emblem, go and bring her here right now."


    Outsiders were not allowed to enter the Sky Realm Academy, and only with a school badge.


    "Alright, I''ll go right away," Di Chen excitedly took the school emblem, turned around and left the Sky Realm Academy. On one hand, it was because Qin Suer could reduce a lot of things from his arrival, so he had the time to cultivate. On the other hand, it was because Qin Suer lacked someone to teach her.


    Di Chen left the Sky Realm Academy with the school emblem, and just as he walked to the entrance, he met Qiu Tang. Qiu Tang was assigned to the A class, and the two of them could be considered to have cooperated before, so their impression of each other was still considered good.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly saw that Qiu Tang''s body was emitting a halo of black and red light. According to the method of observation the Mount Yu Scholar used, red meant that one would be successful in the future, black meant that one would be miserable in the future, and grey meant that one would be ordinary and ordinary. Ordinary people would be gray in color, and their fate would be very special, red and black.


    "And I, who cannot see the light of fate?"


    Di Chen muttered in his heart, thinking that this Qiu Tang might have such a destiny, maybe his identity was not so simple.


    "Where to?" Qiu Tang walked over and asked.


    Di Chen replied, "There are some matters I need to attend to at the Yue Clan Inn."


    Qiu Tang laughed: "I just happen to be going to the Universe Pavilion to buy some things, I''ll go with you."


    Sky Realm Academy had the point system, some students would try their best to save up points to exchange for better things, while others would go to the Universe Pavilion to buy normal pills.


    The two of them left the Sky Realm Academy together. Since they had to pass through the Universe Pavilion when they went to the Yue Clan Inn, Di Chen finally came out of it after a long time, so he wanted to take a break, so he accompanied Qiu Tang to buy things. Then, Qiu Tang accompanied Di Chen to the Yue Clan Inn when he went back, and Qin Suer and Lin Tao still stayed in the same room.


    "Su''er, how have you been recently?"


    Di Chen laughed and greeted them: "You have been studying your Qin family''s inherited medical journal. Have you made any progress?"


    Qin Suer was vexed: "This medical manual is very complicated, I alone have to figure it out, and there are many places where I can barely understand. Oh right, why did you suddenly come here?"


    Di Chen laughed: "My teacher is also a doctor, I told her about your situation, she wants me to bring you to her place, if it''s suitable you can stay and help her, and also learn medicine from her."


    Qin Suer was instantly overjoyed, "Really? I was just thinking of finding someone to take me as my master."


    She was happy not only because she could take Di Chen as her master, but also because she could meet Di Chen more often once she went to Sky Realm Academy.


    Di Chen was also a very clumsy person sometimes, how could he understand Qin Suer''s thoughts? As a bystander, the spectator could see clearly, Lin Tao and Qiu Tang could see everything clearly.


    "Hey, Lin Tao, you''ve broken through Fighter 5-dan?" Di Chen realised that Lin Tao''s strength had increased by a lot. Although his cultivation realm was not high, he had started to cultivate anew, and it was rare for him to be able to cultivate to this realm so quickly.


    He laughed out loud and said, "Su''er helps me with acupuncture points everyday, my body recovers very quickly, so my cultivation is not slow either. Don''t look at me, I''m only at Fighter 5-dan, but with this sword, defeating 8-dan isn''t a problem."


    Currently, Lin Tao was already able to easily wield the Sky Tyrant Sword. This sword was famous for its power and was extremely powerful. It was normal for him to be able to fight against opponents three levels above him.


    Qin Suer looked at Qiu Tang and asked: "Di Chen, who is this?"


    Only now did Di Chen remember how happy he was to see Qin Suer just now, and he even forgot to introduce him to them. He immediately introduced them as well: "He is Qiu Tang, and is also a new student of the Sky Realm Academy.


    Then, he looked at Qiu Tang and said, "This is Qin Suer, a genius doctor. This is Lin Tao, who came from the same city as me."


    "Miss Qin Su, Brother Lin Tao," Qiu Tang greeted the two of them with a smile. Previously, he had investigated Di Chen and found out that Di Chen had brought two people from Ling''an City, a man and a woman, and the man was called Lin Tao. It was extremely easy to find Lin Tao''s information, after all, he had grown up together with Di Chen.


    As the Fourteenth Prince, how could Qiu Tang not know about Qin Suer? Qin Suer''s father was an iron criminal, the Qin family had been completely beheaded, only her eldest daughter had escaped, the imperial government had already issued a wanted poster, they did not expect that she would be with Di Chen, the reason Qiu Tang came to investigate Di Chen was because of his article. Now, they were even more suspicious.


    The Martial Region Continent had been ruled by the Thousand Autumn Dynasty for more than a thousand years, there were still plenty of people who wanted to subvert the Thousand Autumn Dynasty.


    Qiu Tang also did not show it, and pretended not to know him, while Lin Tao and Qin Suer also nodded their heads in acknowledgement.


    "Oh yeah," Lin Tao suddenly said with a crying face: "Di Chen, didn''t you also bring Su''er to the Sky Realm Academy for me to do it alone?"


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "Your cultivation is too low, I think that even Sky Realm Academy doesn''t have any teachers who would be willing to accept you, I will bring you to train later."


    Lin Tao waved his hand: "Forget about it, this Millennium City doesn''t have any Lifestealer Realm and can''t even go out. I''ll just obediently stay here and train with you when I break through the Lifestealer Realm."


    Di Chen noticed that Lin Tao''s body was covered in a light red glow, but it was mixed with a bit of black light, which meant that his fate had gone smoothly, but there would inevitably be setbacks, and having his tendons and veins broken was one of them. However, he would still be successful in the future, so Di Chen was not worried.


    Yu Shan''s method of observation might not be 100% accurate, but it was likely that most people would end up the same as what he had seen.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly frowned, his gaze looking far ahead, there were a group of people with swords surrounding them, and all of them were from the yamen.


    The leader was a middle-aged man of forty with a cultivation base at the ninth level of Life Seizing. The yamen runners beside him were at least fifth level Life Seizing cultivators.


    In Millennium City, there is no way for you to be a constable without being at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Stage.


    "Qin Suer, why are you not giving up?" The constable pointed at Qin Suer and bellowed.


    Qin Suer was so frightened that her face turned pale. She had been with Di Chen everyday and had almost forgotten that she was the culprit of the imperial court.


    Di Chen quickly pulled Qin Suer behind him, and vigilantly stared at the constable: "She was framed, I cannot let her follow you."


    No wonder he dared to obstruct our imperial government. If she was not framed, the imperial government would find out, I am just a constable, I am only in charge of catching her, I do not care about other matters. "


    The grumpy Lin Tao immediately scolded, "You bunch of lackeys in the imperial government are really unreasonable. How could she find out the truth after following you? I''m afraid she will die in your prison. We won''t let her leave with you."


    The constable said coldly, "It''s a capital offense to be the scapegoat for the Venerable Court. I advise all of you to mind your own business. Otherwise, I will capture all of you as well."


    Di Chen and Lin Tao still did not retreat. It seemed that they were determined to protect Qin Suer.


    Seeing that, the constable waved his hand, and the group of constable immediately rushed towards Di Chen and the others.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen then released his power and used his finger to write the word "freeze". All the constables stopped moving all of a sudden, as if it was a forbidden shot, even the constable was no exception.


    When Di Chen had broken through to the seventh stage of the Scholar Realm, the powers of the scholars were even stronger. Even those at the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm could easily withstand it.


    Lin Tao used his sword to point at one of the constables and laughed: "You are the only ones who dares to be arrogant, Di Chen, you are getting stronger and stronger."


    Di Chen said uneasily: "Let''s leave this place first, I don''t think it''s that simple."

 C77

    Whoosh!


    Just as they were about to leave, a terrifying force suddenly swept over, followed by a man descending from the sky, holding a blade in his hand, he slashed towards Di Chen.


    "Not good ¡­" Di Chen could feel the terror of this power and immediately wrote the word "Slash", the word was as if a blade made of air was floating towards the man.


    The man''s blade cut down on the word ''cut'', with a pu sound, a gust of wind blew in all directions, Di Chen and the man were pushed back a few steps by the wind at the same time.


    As expected, you have some strength, your body does not have any spirit energy, yet you can use such a mysterious technique, as expected of a student of the Sky Realm Academy, I, Yang Jue, do not know how to address you.


    The person was dressed in plain clothes, and looked like an ordinary swordsman. However, one could tell from the attack just now that he was a member of the imperial court. The people of the imperial court were screaming in fear, and each of his moves was powerful and forceful, capable of taking a person''s life.


    "Di Chen..." Di Chen calmly introduced himself.


    "Di Chen," Yang Jue carefully recited this nickname, thought for a while and said: "This Qin Suer is the imperial concubine, I advise you not to care about her, I believe you know that you are no match for me."


    Di Chen naturally knew that this fellow had been lenient just now, but he still shook his head. "She is my friend, I cannot sit idly by."


    Yang Jue regretfully said one sentence, and did not try to persuade him otherwise. He took a step forward, and slashed his blade towards Di Chen again, with a sharp blade wind howling towards him.


    "Break!" Di Chen knew that it would be difficult for the formula to block his attack, so he could only use his most powerful Broken formula. The window sized word "Broken" immediately floated towards Di Yang Jue.


    Puff!


    This time, he did not hold back. With one slash, he had flipped over Di Chen, Qin Suer and the rest, but Yang Jue did not move an inch.


    "You lost," Yang Jue chased after her and grabbed towards Qin Suer, wanting to take her away.


    "How can he be this strong?" Di Chen cried out inwardly. His strongest move could not hurt him in the slightest, how can he still save Qin Suer?


    Lin Tao''s face was also filled with anxiety, while Qin Suer''s face was filled with fear, but right at that moment, Qiu Tang suddenly blocked in front of Qin Suer, and welcomed him with a palm strike.


    Pow!


    The two palms collided, and a powerful force dispersed between the two. Both of them were forced back several steps at the same time.


    "Hmm?" Yang Jue had also noticed Qiu Tang previously, but seeing that he did not have a high cultivation, he did not put it to heart, as he did not expect him to be so powerful, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Who are you?"


    Qiu Tang unconsciously lifted the corner of his clothes, and laughed: "I am Qiu Tang, also a student of the Sky Realm Academy, and they are my friends. I cannot let you take them away today."


    Yang Jue looked at Qiu Tang, surprise flashed past his eyes, he stared at Qiu Tang for a while, but did not say anything, he looked at the others and said: Let''s go.


    Everyone was startled, they thought that Yang Jue would never give up so easily, this meant that he knew that the other party was powerful, even Yang Jue might not be his opponent, the Sky Realm Academy was indeed filled with powerful experts, they did not stay too long, and turned to leave.


    Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief after seeing them leave. "Qiu Tang, thank you this time."


    Qiu Tang laughed: "There''s no need to be so polite with me. Since you''re friends, then we can''t just sit idly by."


    Lin Tao said weirdly: "Just now, this Yang Jue is very powerful, I think he doesn''t belong to Lifestealer Realm. Qiu Tang, what is your cultivation level?"


    Qiu Tang laughed, "I am at the seventh stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm."


    Lin Tao looked at Qiu Tang suspiciously, his face could easily tell that he was not in the same realm as Qiu Tang, but this kind of thing, Lin Tao could not ask.


    Last time, when Di Chen took Li Caishi''s attack, he knew that Qiu Tang''s cultivation was not as simple as it seemed, but it seemed that Qiu Tang was even stronger than he imagined. Combined with his uncertain future, Di Chen felt that Qiu Tang was not as simple as he seemed, but why was he in Sky Realm Academy alone?


    Di Chen did not understand, and did not think much into it, and said: "Su''er, quickly follow me to the Academy. Lin Tao, you should also change to another place to stay."


    Only then did everyone quickly leave the inn. It was no longer safe here.


    Somewhere in Millennium City!


    "Yang Jue, you are the leader of the Group of Huang, with your strength, capturing Qin Suer should be easy, but why did you fail?


    The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He wore grey plain clothes and had his hands tied together. He looked to be a threat.


    The Thousand Autumn Dynasty had a dark department, which was very mysterious. Normally, they would not participate in meetings of the imperial court, and would not receive orders from any officials, but would directly listen to the orders of the Flame Emperor, thus they specially apprehended people from the imperial government, and assassinated enemies that would harm the imperial government. This was because some things could not be done too obviously, and needed the people with opaque identities to do it.


    Yang Jue clasped his hands together: "Lord Hong, it was Fourteenth Prince who saved them."


    Hong Wu was startled. "Why is Fourteenth Prince here? "You didn''t recognize wrongly?"


    Yang Jue shook his head: "Although I have only seen Fourteenth Prince once, I still have an impression of him. Furthermore, he had secretly taken out the Tiger Tally just now, it is definitely him, I am just curious as to why this Fourteenth Prince would save an enemy of the imperial government. Furthermore, he seems to have even entered the Sky Realm Academy, with his strength, there is no need for him to cultivate in the Sky Realm Academy."


    Hong Wu raised her brows, thinking that these princes were fighting for power very fiercely, if not, they would all form factions within the imperial government and work hard to raise their own power, if not, they would have to cultivate, improve their strength, and what was this Fourteenth Prince doing in the Sky Realm Academy?


    Hong Wu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Fourteenth Prince has always held Your Majesty in high regard. I believe this must be Your Majesty''s intentions."


    Yang Jue asked: "Then what about this Qin Suer, she is the criminal of the imperial government, we cannot let her escape."


    Hong Wu laughed: Although Qin Suer is the instigator, but you and I know that Sir Qin is most likely framed, and that Qin Suer is actually not much of a threat to the imperial government. Since Fourteenth Prince wants to protect her, then let her be, since this matter is something that the Fourteenth Prince will probably report to His Majesty, and you don''t have to ask too much about it.


    Hong Wu knew a lot about all the officials in the imperial court, so he knew that Qin Suer''s father would not plot against him, and had only offended the lord.


    Yang Jue knew that this Fourteenth Prince was an intelligent person, he always had a sense of propriety. Since he wanted to save Qin Suer, he naturally had his own reasons.


    Di Chen arranged a place for Lin Tao to stay and also gave him some pills and cultivation methods to cultivate, reminding him to stay low key during this period of time. Although Lin Tao was impulsive, he was also a smart person and naturally knew what to do.


    "Qiu Tang," Di Chen cupped his fists: "Thank you for your help this time, if not for you, the consequences would have been unimaginable."


    Qiu Tang smiled lightly: "There''s no need to be so polite with me, I might have other things that I need your help with in the future."


    Di Chen thought to himself, Qiu Tang was actually still so relaxed when he called for an imperial clansman, which meant that he was not a simple person. He smiled and said, "Don''t worry, if there is anything you need, I will do my best."


    Qiu Tang laughed: "I will remember your words, matters in this world are unpredictable. Maybe there will really be a time when I am at the end of my rope and need your help, at that time, you better not think that it''s dangerous."


    Di Chen waved his hands and laughed: "I won''t, I won''t."


    Qiu Tang laughed, he had finally believed in Di Chen, and turned and left with Qin Suer.


    Di Chen stared at Qiu Tang''s back for a while. Someone like Qiu Tang whose fate was unpredictable might encounter danger in the future, but the degree of danger was not small. Di Chen was also not an ungrateful person, so he would definitely not abandon him.


    After parting ways, Di Chen returned to the medicinal garden and brought Qin Suer to see him. Yang Mengqi and Yuan Tong were busy tidying up the flowers and plants, Yuan Tong had originally been very happy but after seeing Di Chen, he immediately changed his expression.


    Yang Mengqi saw that Di Chen was injured, and asked: "You fought with someone else again?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "No, Teacher Yang, this is the Qin Suer that I have told you about. Su''er, this is my teacher Yang Mengqi.


    Yang Mengqi sized up Qin Suer and laughed: "You are a beautiful Girl, Di Chen said that you are a genius doctor, in the future you will stay here and help me, are you willing?"


    "But ¡­" Qin Suer was a little worried, she was after all, the criminal of the imperial government, if she stayed, Yang Mengqi would be implicated.


    Yang Mengqi asked doubtfully: "What, are you having difficulties?"


    Di Chen awkwardly explained: Teacher Yang, you might not know this, but Qin Suer''s father is Qin Zheng, she was killed by the imperial government in the name of conspiracy. Su''er is now an accomplice of the imperial government, the imperial government has sent people to apprehend her everywhere, and previously, we met people from the imperial government.


    "What?" Yuan Tong shouted, "Di Chen, how can you bring the imperial invader here? Do you know that if you do this, not only will you implicate the entire Teacher Yang, you will also implicate the entire Sky Realm Academy?


    When Qin Suer heard this, her expression darkened. She no longer wanted to explain that her father had been framed.


    Di Chen also laughed bitterly, he could do nothing about it, he was truly worried about Qin Suer being alone outside.


    Yang Mengqi did not seem to mind that she was the successor to the imperial family, and spoke in surprise: "So your father was actually the first imperial physician, Qin Zheng, I heard that he was originally just a wild uncle. A few years ago, a princess of the imperial court fell ill, the imperial physician was unable to do anything about it, and all the pills and medicines were unable to cure him, so he released the imperial list to gather famous doctors from all over the world to treat this princess''s illness. After Qin Zheng took off the list, and treated this princess well, it is said that this princess even had feelings for Qin Zheng.


    When Qin Suer heard this, her tears almost flowed out, but she did not say anything.


    Di Chen knew that Qin Suer''s father was an imperial physician, but he didn''t know that her mother was actually a princess. Even this princess couldn''t protect the Qin family, so it seemed that the Qin family had offended quite a few people.

 C78

    "Teacher Yang," Di Chen pleaded in a pleading tone, "You can leave Su''er behind, the Qin Family was framed."


    Yang Mengqi rather liked Qin Suer. After thinking for a while, she said, "She can stay, but she can only stay in the medicinal garden. She can''t go anywhere."


    This was also to prevent others from finding out about Qin Suer here. Although Yang Mengqi was not afraid of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, she could not openly oppose them either.


    Di Chen was instantly overjoyed, "I know, thank you Teacher Yang, Su''er, quickly thank you Teacher Yang."


    Qin Suer bowed and said: "Thank you Teacher Yang."


    Yuan Tong retorted, "Sister Qi, the hidden court official''s crime is a capital offense. I think the dean would definitely not agree to it if he knew about this."


    Yang Mengqi said seriously: "This is my problem, even the Principal can''t do anything about it. My heart is already firm, Yuan Tong, don''t say anymore."


    She knew that Yuan Tong hated Di Chen, so she said after thinking for a while, "You can''t tell this to anyone, okay?"


    Yuan Tong looked at Di Chen and Qin Suer in hatred, and suddenly felt wronged, tears streaming down his face, without saying a word, he ran back to his room.


    Yang Mengqi sighed helplessly, she knew Yuan Tong would have such a reaction. She let Di Chen briefly introduce the daily work here before entering Yuan Tong''s room.


    Yang Mengqi curled her body and laid on the bed, sobbing softly. Yang Mengqi walked in front of him, sat down, and said: "I know you don''t like Di Chen, but this is the Principal''s rule, so I can''t do anything about it."


    Yuan Tong sobbed: "You''re lying. Even though the Principal told Di Chen to come here to cultivate, you still have the authority to let him leave, but you never thought about it like this. You just want Di Chen to stay."


    Yang Mengqi had gained a lot of benefits from studying with her during this period of time. With Di Chen being able to help her cultivate, coupled with the fact that she personally liked Di Chen and did not want her to leave, she knew that this kind of thing was not enough to trick Yuan Tong, so she changed her tone, "You also know that there are more and more things about our medicinal garden. I also need to cultivate everyday, so I can''t help you like I did before.


    Yuan Tong raised his tear-stained face, and said with a pleading tone: "Sister Qi, I can do it by myself, I guarantee that I can complete the daily missions, can you let Di Chen go?"


    In this period of time, Yuan Tong worked hard every day, and sometimes he even stole Di Chen''s things. He wanted Yang Mengqi to see that he could complete all the tasks by herself, she did not need Di Chen here, but he was extremely busy today, and there were some things that required Di Chen to complete. Furthermore, he really wanted to finish all the things, because she made many mistakes during this period and destroyed some spirit medicine, but he just did not know about them.


    How could Yang Mengqi not understand Yuan Tong''s thoughts? She advised: "You''re still young, how can you manage such a large area of medicinal garden by yourself? Even if you don''t have Di Chen, you would have sent someone else over."


    "But ¡­" Yuan Tong still wanted to speak, but he had nothing more to say. She knew what Yang Mengqi had said was the truth.


    Yang Mengqi comforted her: "Don''t worry, Di Chen will not change anything even if he comes. You should rest well for a day, I''ll go cultivate."


    Yuan Tong opened his mouth, he originally wanted Yang Mengqi to stay and accompany him for a while, but after Yang Mengqi finished speaking, he left the room, and once again, Yuan Tong began to shed tears, feeling wronged, a look of hatred appeared in his eyes.


    In the yard.


    Qin Suer could feel that this Yuan Tong was extremely hostile towards him, and she asked suspiciously, "What exactly is going on with this Yuan Tong?"


    Di Chen laughed: "He was picked up by the Teacher Yang and is very attached to the Teacher Yang. After I came here, he felt that I had stolen the Teacher Yang and disturbed their lives, so he really hated me and always tried to think of ways to make me leave this place."


    In this period of time, Di Chen spent more time explaining the knowledge in the books to Yang Mengqi than he did with Yuan Tong. In his opinion, Yang Mengqi had changed, so he was a little jealous.


    Qin Suer was suddenly enlightened: "Looks like this Yuan Tong has a deep affection for Teacher Yang. Di Chen, you should be careful in the future."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly, this Yuan Tong was only a child who had not grown up yet, so it was not good to argue with him, he could only let him have his way, but Di Chen knew that this fellow would bring him many troubles, and could only watch from the sidelines.


    A few minutes later, Yang Mengqi walked out of the room again. She asked tentatively: "Teacher Yang, is he alright?"


    Yang Mengqi laughed bitterly: "I used to spoil him too much, he will be better in the future."


    Although she said that, Di Chen had already been here for a while, and his hatred for Di Chen grew even stronger. But what could Yang Mengqi do, what could Di Chen do, it was arranged by the Principal, and it was also useful to her cultivation, so she couldn''t let Di Chen leave, nor could she let the helpless Yuan Tong leave.


    "Forget about this," Yang Mengqi thought to herself, that maybe Yuan Tong would understand it when he grows up in the future. Furthermore, Di Chen is a talented person, he wouldn''t be here forever, so she looked at Di Chen and said: "Go and bring that basket of Orchid Bamboo Grass to the Wind Sound Pavilion. Su''er, come with me, I will bring you to familiarize you with the medicinal garden, and you will need to do most of the things here."


    Di Chen carried a basket of Blue Bamboo Grass and went to the Wind Sound Pavilion. Yang Mengqi then began to introduce to Qin Suer the entire medicinal garden, Qin Suer was very familiar with most of the herbs here, she knew how to take care of them and how to refine them into medicine, after all, her father Qin Zheng had traveled throughout the entire Martial Region Continent and had never seen any kind of spirit flower or herb before. All of these were recorded in the ancient scrolls.


    Yang Mengqi actually liked Qin Suer a lot. With Qin Suer''s help in the future, the burden here would lessen a lot and she would have more time to cultivate.


    Right, "Qin Suer asked:" Teacher Yang, Di Chen said that you are sick, what kind of illness is it, maybe I can think of a way. "


    Yang Mengqi thought that Qin Suer was Qin Zheng''s daughter, or perhaps she had a way to tell him the truth: "My heart has dried up since young, and I had only managed to survive after consuming medicinal pellets. But the situation is getting more and more serious, and I''m afraid that I will only be able to live for a year at most.


    "Heart dried up?" Qin Suer was startled, she thought no wonder Teacher Yang''s face was pale, then said: "Heart exhaustion will cause a person to become weaker and weaker, causing their body to become fatigued easily, they cannot use force, if not they will only speed up the process of heart exhaustion, Teacher Yang, will you be able to participate in the competition for the Martial Saint''s ranking?"


    During this period of time, Yang Mengqi''s cultivation had become exhausted frequently, let alone fighting, the number of experts in the academy was not few, I am afraid that she will not be able to participate in any matches, she laughed bitterly: "Other than this, I have no other choice, but to give it a try."


    Qin Suer thought for a while and said: "My father has practiced countless medical arts in his life, and walked throughout the entire Martial Region Continent. He had treated people whose hearts had dried up before, and although there is no effective treatment, it can increase one''s physical fitness.


    "Really?" Yang Mengqi was overjoyed, she had read countless of medical manuals, but had never seen a method to treat a heart''s exhaustion.


    Qin Suer nodded her head: "This is my Qin family''s Gold Needle Acupuncture Point Technique. Teacher Yang, how about I help you try it, it''s just that I have always been using my human body to practice, this is my first time treating a person with a dried up heart."


    There were hundreds of acupuncture points in the body, and all of them had important effects. Using the acupuncture needles to stimulate the corresponding acupuncture points could stimulate the organs corresponding to the acupuncture points, and could activate the blood and silt to activate the body, but this method was created by Qin Zheng herself, and after Qin Zheng died, the method was lost to him and Yang Mengqi did not expect that Qin Suer would actually know it, since the acupuncture points were very difficult, and it would be dangerous to deviate from the position of the acupuncture points, so she might even lose her life.


    Yang Mengqi was silent for a moment, then said: "With my current body, I am afraid it will be very difficult for me to achieve good results on the Martial Saint, if your acupuncture points are different, I am willing to try."


    Qin Suer nodded, then followed her to the room and closed the door. She had to be extremely careful with the golden needles, for Qin Suer needed a quiet environment.


    Yang Mengqi sat on the bed and took off her shirt, revealing a pure white body. Qin Suer immediately took out a golden needle, which was specially made by Qin Zheng, for a total of twelve needles. Some were long and some were short, some were thick and some were thin.


    Qin Suer picked up a needle and took a deep breath, then carefully inserted it into Yang Mengqi''s acupuncture points. The acupuncture point wouldn''t be painful, but if there was pain, it meant that the acupuncture was in the wrong place.


    More than ten minutes later, all twelve needles had pierced into Yang Mengqi''s body.


    Qin Suer asked: "Teacher Yang, what do you think?"


    Sweat trickled down her body, and a large amount of it even flowed down her bed. She said with a smile: "Earlier, I kept feeling that my body was exhausted, but now there''s a kind of warmth in my body, as if there''s endless energy."


    Qin Suer also noticed that Yang Mengqi''s face had reddened up a little. She let out a sigh of relief: "Looks like this Gold Needle Acupuncture Point Technique can indeed cure your heart, but it''s unable to cure it completely. My father''s medical book also mentioned a kind of Heart Replenishing Pill, which with the Gold Needle Acupuncture Point combined with Heart Replenishing Pill, can make your body stronger.


    Yang Mengqi was overjoyed: "That''s great, Su''er, thank you so much this time."


    Qin Suer laughed: "I should be the one thanking Elder Yang. If it wasn''t for teacher taking me in, I really don''t know where to go."


    Yang Mengqi laughed: "From now on, you will live here. No one will dare come here to take my people."


    Unless it was absolutely necessary, the imperial government would not come to the Sky Realm Academy to capture someone. Qin Suer would be safe here, after all, she was not the kind of person who would pose a huge threat to the imperial government.


    After that, Qin Suer took out the golden needles and went to the medicinal garden to gather medicinal ingredients. With the Heart Replenishing Pill, Yang Mengqi could participate in the competition peacefully.

 C79

    Di Chen carried the bamboo basket and headed towards the Wind Cry Pavilion. As he passed by the plaza, he saw a group of people practicing martial arts, these people were fighting in pairs, and were the students of Class B, surrounded by many onlookers, who were all Class C and D''s students. Every realm in Sky Realm Academy had four classes, and the students of Class B were all a grade lower.


    This was the first time Di Chen had seen a class like teaching, and he was a little interested in it. He stopped and watched, thinking that, as expected of the students of Class B, there were many powerful people among them that were inferior to Di Chen.


    There were a few that were especially eye-catching among them. The left side of Bing Tong and Bai Yi, the right side of Bing Tong and the rest of his life, these few people were the focus of attention. Di Chen remembered them, the freshmen who entered the Sky Realm Academy with him.


    Amongst them, there was one whom Di Chen actually recognized. It was the Yu Xiuyuan who had some grudges with him back in Thousand Monster Mountain. This guy was very powerful, Di Chen did not expect him to only be a student of Class B.


    "So these are the students from Class B. They''re indeed stronger than our Class C."


    "Yeah, he''s also at the ninth level of Life Seizing, but I estimate that one of them would be able to deal with at least three of our class."


    "That should be Huang Ting, he seems to be the strongest in Class B, many people probably won''t be able to beat him in terms of A class."


    The members of Class C and D''Agosta discussed in envy. They did not have such a talent.


    In reality, the division of classes in the Sky Realm Academy was based on the students'' talent, not on their strength. Some of the students in Class B might not have talent, but after training for a long time, their strength would also be stronger than some of the students in the A class.


    When the students of Class B heard the discussions around them, they could not help but feel somewhat proud of themselves.


    "Hmm?" Huang Ting''s gaze suddenly fell far away, he noticed that Di Chen was in the crowd watching the martial arts practice, and his eyes immediately turned cold. He still remembered the last time, if not for Qiu Chen, Li Xin would not have died, and Li Caishi would not have hated him, he had hoped that Di Chen could die in the Sky Realm Academy''s assessment.


    Di Chen also noticed the unfriendly gaze of Huang Ting. Afraid of causing trouble, he turned and left.


    Huang Ting leaped up and landed right in front of Di Chen, laughing coldly: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"


    Di Chen looked up at Huang Ting and said calmly: "I still have some matters to attend to, why should I not leave?"


    Huang Ting obviously did not believe in Di Chen''s excuse, and mocked: "I think you''re purposefully hiding from me right?"


    Di Chen could not be bothered anymore. After letting Huang Ting go, he wanted to leave.


    Huang Ting stepped in front of him and said: "You injured Senior Sister Li Caishi last time, seems like your progress is faster than I thought. How about we both have a spar as well?"


    "Not interested," Di Chen circled around him and continued to leave. He was not afraid of him, with Di Chen''s current seventh stage cultivation, there was a chance for him to deal with him. He just did not want to waste time.


    With a wave of Huang Ting''s hand, Class B''s group rushed forward and surrounded Di Chen. Most of them were older students, after all, all of them were led by Huang Ting.


    Di Chen''s footsteps paused, and he asked with furrowed brows: "What are you doing?"


    Huang Ting laughed: "You are willing to compete with me, they are here to spectate."


    Di Chen said angrily: "When did I agree to compete with you?"


    Huang Ting pointed to the people around him and said: "They heard it, if you don''t believe them, ask them."


    "Yeah, you insisted on challenging Huang Ting, so Huang Ting couldn''t resist your pestering, and could only agree, we all heard it."


    Someone in the crowd echoed.


    Although private duels were not prohibited in the Sky Realm Academy, but they could not go too far either. If Di Chen was truly unwilling, then he could not force himself to do so, since he was not a person who was from a clan like Ai Yeshi''s or Jin Rui''s, so he used this method, now that everyone had become Huang Ting''s'' witnesses'', at that time, even if Huang Ting was injured, he would not be held responsible.


    Everyone knew that Huang Ting and Di Chen had some grudges between them, and looked at Di Chen teasingly, thinking that he was dead for sure this time.


    Di Chen was speechless, he did not expect Huang Ting to be so shameless, but he could not do anything about it.


    "Since you insist on challenging me, I naturally cannot refuse. Di Chen, don''t blame me if you are injured."


    After Huang Ting finished speaking, he took a step towards Di Chen, and punched fiercely with a fist filled with power.


    Di Chen could feel a sharp gust of wind rushing over, its speed was too fast, he was not even prepared with the bamboo basket on his back for a moment as he hastily punched towards Huang Ting.


    Bang!


    The two fists collided, causing Di Chen''s arm to go numb. His entire body was smashed and sent flying, tumbling on the ground a few times.


    "Haha ¡­"


    "Is this guy really that strong? He couldn''t even withstand a single blow from Senior Brother Huang Ting. Could it be that the last time he injured Senior Sister Li Caishi was all due to luck?"


    Seeing Di Chen, everyone laughed out loud. In their eyes, Di Chen was not Huang Ting''s opponent.


    Di Chen stood up and angrily roared: "Huang Ting, you are clearly in the wrong regarding the Thousand Monster Mountain, don''t go overboard."


    Huang Ting laughed: "You think that your strength is impressive and you insist on competing with me, why can''t you beat me? You talk about the Thousand Monster Mountain again, Di Chen, the competition is not over yet, let''s fight again."


    As he said that, he took another step towards Di Chen, with a powerful force smashing right into his face. How was this a competition, this was clearly trying to kill Di Chen!


    ''s gaze turned cold as he wrote the word "fix" in the air with a simple finger. Ripples spread out in all directions from the "freeze" word, and the ripples slid across the bodies of the crowd, causing them to pause as if they had been imprisoned. Most of the people here knew that Di Chen knew a special technique, but it was the first time that they had personally experienced such a technique.


    Huang Ting''s body also stopped, and he took this opportunity to smash his fist towards Huang Ting.


    "It''s this move again?" Huang Ting sneered, his body suddenly shook, and he actually managed to struggle free from the [Lock], and welcomed Di Chen with another punch.


    Right now, Di Chen had already broken through the seventh level of the Scholar realm, so logically speaking, it should be easy to stop someone at the ninth level of the Life Seizing Stage. However, he did not stop for even a single breath of time.


    Bang!


    Huang Ting''s fist landed on Di Chen''s chest, sending him flying once again. The bones in Di Chen''s chest seemed to have been broken, as he vomited a mouthful of blood.


    "You lost," Huang Ting pursued, taking advantage of the victory to continue punching Di Chen.


    "Chop," Di Chen immediately wrote the word "cut" towards Huang Ting. This time, the power of the scholar that surged out of his body was several times greater than before, the huge "cut" word was like a large blade that chopped towards Huang Ting.


    Huang Ting smashed his fist on the word "cut", with a chi sound, the "cut" word was unable to withstand the attack and immediately dispersed, but Huang Ting was also blasted away, his body seemed to have flipped over as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "He can actually injure Huang Ting, looks like this guy really has some strength."


    Everyone was surprised to see that, they had originally thought that Huang Ting could easily defeat Di Chen, but the result did not seem to be as easy as they thought, could it be that even Di Chen did not bring out his full strength?


    "No wonder you were able to injure Senior Sister Li Caishi. You do indeed have some strength, but you will definitely die today." Huang Ting was so angry that his heart was injured by Di Chen, and his words revealed the intent of wanting to kill him.


    The white light landed on the ground and turned into a ten feet long white jade spider. Although this white jade spider was only a level 9 demonic beast, the poison in its body was extremely strong, and the silk it spat out could even trap a level one or two Demonic King. It could be said that this white jade spider was the only kind of demonic beast that could kill an opponent one or two levels above it.


    "Senior brother Huang Ting actually used the martial soul s and white jade spiders.


    "Of course, this White Jade Spider even has the chance to kill Demonic King s of the first or second level, how can this guy beat this White Jade Spider?"


    When everyone saw the White Jade Spider, they immediately gave Di Chen the death penalty. This was normal, because Di Chen''s body looked weak, but Huang Ting was an old student who had broken through to the ninth stage of Life Seizing.


    The White Jade Spider opened its mouth and spat out silk threads towards Di Chen, forming a huge net.


    Di Chen was very clear that he would not be able to escape if he was surrounded by the spider silk. The power of the literati poured out from his body as he wrote "Broken" a few words consecutively towards the spider silk.


    Bang


    The word "break" exploded one by one. Explosions rang out in the air and the spider webs were shattered into pieces.


    The White Jade Spider was also in the center of the explosion, but even though it was affected, the damage it took was lesser. Di Chen squinted his eyes and crazily wrote out the word "Break" one after another. The White Jade Spider could still endure it at the start, but it quickly turned into a stream of Qi and dissipated in the explosion.


    "My martial soul?" Huang Ting did not expect that his own White Jade Spider would not be able to resist this move from Di Chen. Its face was filled with fear, the martial soul was the most important thing to a warrior, but it was destroyed by Di Chen now?


    "I''ll kill you," Huang Ting said as he crazily charged towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately wrote a "Slash" character that floated towards Huang Ting, and Huang Ting punched towards the "Slash" word, but because he was injured before, he did not shatter the "Slash" character, but instead cut off one of his arms, causing blood to gush out, falling onto the ground as he continuously screamed miserably.


    "This ¡­" Everyone looked at this scene in shock, not only did Huang Ting lose, he was crippled! Without the martial soul, he was afraid that there would be a lot of people in Class C who could defeat him.


    Previously, Di Chen had been threatened by Huang Ting at Thousand Monster Mountain. But now, Di Chen had actually already defeated Class B''s most powerful genius?


    However, no one knew what realm Di Chen was in. Why did he not release any spirit energy after experiencing such an intense battle just now?

 C80

    Everyone originally wanted to give Di Chen a death sentence, but they did not expect Huang Ting to actually destroy the martial soul, and now that he had broken one of their hands, it was already difficult for Huang Ting to recover his original strength, he had to pay a heavy price to do so. All of the people who were originally helping Huang Ting retreated, all of them maintained their distance from him, but they did not see what realm Di Chen was in, they only felt that he was evil.


    Di Chen did not even look at Huang Ting, and picked up the blue bamboo grass on the ground, then carried the bamboo basket and left, as though nothing had happened, walking to a place devoid of people, Di Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and could not even stand up. Just now, he had used up all the strength of a scholar to kill the white jade spider, his mind was in a mess, his head was in a mess, if he had used another word of the word "broken", "he feared that his spirit would have collapsed and died.


    Everyone thought that it would be easy for Di Chen to kill Huang Ting, but in reality, Di Chen had already used his full strength.


    "This Huang Ting is really powerful, with my current cultivation, I am barely able to handle a warrior of the ninth stage. It looks like I need to quickly cultivate to the seventh stage of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm."


    Only by using the dual cultivation of a martial artist and a scholar could he be confident in dealing with a ninth stage Life Seizing Cultivator. Simply using the strength of a scholar was just too difficult.


    "This is a Blood Replenishing Pill, it should be useful to you," a woman''s voice suddenly sounded out.


    A total of four people came in, one of them being Bing Tong, the other four. Di Chen knew who they were, but he had never interacted with them before, so he did not receive the Blood Replenishing Pill.


    Qing Han coldly snorted, "What, are you afraid that we will harm you?"


    Di Chen hesitated for a while before taking the Blood Replenishing Pill and swallowing it. The pill dissolved in his mouth and a cool and refreshing liquid nourished Di Chen''s body, causing his face to turn red quickly and his body to become full of vitality. Although he could not fight yet, he at least had the ability to move.


    "Many thanks," Di Chen stood up and said curiously. "This Blood Replenishing Pill requires at least a thousand silver, why would you help me?"


    Bai Yi laughed: "Two reasons, one is because those older students are arrogant, and do not put us new students in their eyes, making things difficult for us, but we are also not their match. Today, you injured Huang Ting, so the second is that we want to find you to complete a mission."


    Di Chen also knew that many of the new students in Sky Realm Academy were being bullied by the older students, especially for people like Huang Ting who were so arrogant and haughty. He could only watch as the new students'' cultivation surpassed him and suppressed him from all angles, it was no wonder that he saw so many people clapping quietly just now.


    "Mission?" Di Chen had never completed a mission before, so he asked curiously: "What mission?"


    He passed a scroll to Di Chen and said, "It''s to go to Thousand Monster Mountain''s Heaven Eye Lake to kill a Blacktooth."


    Di Chen took the scroll and looked at it. The mission was simple, he only needed to kill an adult Blacktooth.


    "100 points?" Di Chen cried out in alarm: "I heard that the school''s points are very hard to earn, this Blacktooth is only a level nine demonic beast, a person at the eighth level of the Life Seizing Realm has the chance to kill him, how can he have a hundred points?"


    One hundred points was equivalent to one million silver taels. How many Martial King level demonic beast would one have to kill?


    Now that killing a Blacktooth could earn him a hundred points, how could Di Chen not be shocked.


    Bing Tong explained: "You have also been to the Thousand Monster Mountain, you should know that the Thousand Monster Mountain is very dangerous, and halfway up the mountain, Heaven''s Eye Lake is located, so I am afraid that we will encounter many demonic beast with Martial King Realm, not to mention the four of us are only at the eighth stage of Life Seizing Realm, even if we were to encounter even more ninth stage Life Seizing cultivators, they would still be dead. The reason why your points are so high is because this mission is considered a Martial King level mission."


    For example, if a mission was carried out by a Lifestealer Realm Warrior, it would be easy for you, a Martial King, to carry it out. However, if all the Martial Kings were to carry out missions for the Lifestealer Realm Realm, then how the Lifestealer Realm Warriors earned their points, the Academy would always give strict consideration to the executors of each mission to see if you were suitable for this mission. Of course, if you had to carry out missions with low levels, then the Academy would also not give you any points and treat it as a free labour force.


    This mission to hunt Blacktooth should actually be considered a low level mission, after all, the location of the Blacktooth was very dangerous, but in the end, the Blacktooth was only a level nine demonic beast, so this mission could only be considered as a mission for Lifestealer Realm, and very few people could complete it. Previously, there were a few who did it, but in the end, several of them died, so the mission was placed on hold.


    Di Chen was enlightened upon hearing the explanation. "Why don''t you guys seek the help of someone at the ninth stage of Life Seizing?"


    The older students are disdainful to carry out missions with us freshmen, and the stronger ones, such as Jiang You and Fang Xin, are all in A class. They are geniuses who think highly of themselves, so they aren''t willing to carry out missions with us from Class B. "


    The entire class also had a dozen or so people, so how could they possibly carry out missions together with the people from Class B? It was just like how Class C had experts at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Stage, but they would not be invited for the rest of their lives.


    Di Chen did not belong to any class, his strength was not bad either, and could be considered as their best candidate.


    "One hundred points and five points?" Di Chen thought that since he had time to complete missions, the price was not cheap either. He thought for a while and said: "I''ll go.


    Bing Tong laughed: "Rest for two days and recover from your injuries first."


    "Alright," Di Chen nodded his head, discussed the matter with Bing Tong and the others for a while, and then left with the bamboo basket. He brought the Orchid Bamboo Grass to the Wind Sound Pavilion, and then returned to medicinal garden.


    Yang Mengqi saw that Di Chen''s body was covered in wounds, and said speechlessly: "You''re fighting again?"


    Di Chen scolded: "It''s Class B''s Huang Ting. Previously, I had some grudges with him in the Thousand Monster Mountain, so this guy wanted to take revenge. However, he got beaten up and became crippled."


    Qin Suer remembered Huang Ting and laughed: "Your cultivation has improved really fast. Previously, you were threatened by him in Thousand Monster Mountain, I did not think that you would be able to defeat him now."


    Back then, when Qin Suer met Di Chen, he was only an ordinary practitioner. Now, she was not even a match for someone at the ninth stage of life;


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "Defeating him is not easy, and the injuries I have suffered are not light either, I need to recuperate well in the next two days."


    "Let me take a look," Qin Suer asked Di Chen to sit down and felt Di Chen''s pulse: "Your internal organs have been injured, but it''s not really a problem. I still have some medicinal pellets that can help you recuperate."


    She took out a few pills for Di Chen to consume. These pills were all refined by Qin Suer herself, although it was not some high grade pellet, but it had an important effect on his injuries, and after consuming the pellet, Di Chen''s injuries became much better.


    "Eh?" Di Chen suddenly noticed that Yang Mengqi''s face was ruddy and not as pale as before. He asked curiously: "Teacher Yang, are you feeling better?"


    Yang Mengqi laughed: It''s all thanks to Su''er''s acupuncture points and the Heart Replenishing Pill, my body is much better than before, it''s enough for me to participate in the Martial Saint''s ranking competition.


    "That''s great," Di Chen noticed that the light red color on Yang Mengqi''s body became even thicker, which meant that the chances of Yang Mengqi fighting for the Three Lives Life Continuing Pill was much higher. He said happily: "Teacher Yang, I knew that your illness would definitely be cured."


    Speaking till here, he suddenly thought about his own situation, and thought that Yang Mengqi''s fate was exactly the same as her own. This meant that the method of observation of fate by the Mount Yu Scholar was correct, wouldn''t she be in a miserable state?


    Di Chen shook his head, thinking that now was not the time to let his imagination run wild, he had to recover his powers as a scholar quickly, and go to Thousand Monster Mountain.


    After returning to his room, Di Chen took out a pen and paper to start copying the books he received from the Eternal Gate. During this period of time, Qiu Chen would copy the books he brought back from the Eternal Gate whenever he was free, and with the speed of one per day, every time he finished copying the books, the power of Di Chen''s literati would increase greatly. It would be the same this time, as he would completely recover after copying the books.


    After copying the books, Di Chen took out the¡¶ The Origin of All Arts¡· and continued to read the first volume. After all, he still could not comprehend the second volume and after reading it again, the power of the scholars in his body increased by a lot. However, he had still not reached the eighth stage of the Scholar Realm.


    "With my current cultivation level, I should be able to continue cultivating the next formula."


    Di Chen took out the Sky Text Scripture. The next formula was Spear Arts, so the so called Spear Arts used words as a spear.


    "Spear ¡­" Di Chen quickly waved his brush, the power of the literati in his body gushed into the pen, as he wrote the word "spear" one after another. The energy consumed by the word "spear" was truly huge, Di Chen only used the first stroke to consume 10% of the power of the scholar, and Di Chen also realized that when he was writing the word "spear", there seemed to be a strange energy that prevented him, and it took a lot of effort to write each stroke.


    The stronger the formula, the harder it was to write. If he did not finish writing the entire word, then it would be a waste of the scholar''s power.


    Puff!


    Di Chen seemed to be bounced back by an invisible force, and the word "spear" could no longer be used to describe him.


    Even when Di Chen was cultivating to break through the formula, he did not struggle so much, but he did not know that writing half of the word "spear" for the first time was already extremely difficult.


    This time round, it was better than last time. Di Chen had written a bit more, but this was already Di Chen''s limit.


    He took a break before continuing to write. Every time, he would be able to write an additional line, repeating the same line repeatedly!


    Di Chen didn''t know how long he had been writing for, but he was completely immersed in a state of selflessness. After writing one piece of paper, he wrote another and the ground was filled with waste paper.


    "Success," Di Chen finally wrote down the last word, a word "spear" appeared on the white paper, the word was like wild grass, it was vigorous and powerful, and it moved one''s senses. Di Chen could feel that the word "spear" was powerful, but he did not experiment with it, writing the word "spear" after writing it was much easier, and after a period of time, Di Chen crazily wrote the word "spear" on the paper, so that writing more would familiarize him with this formula.

 C81

    "Big brother, what''s wrong?" In the room, Huang Zhan was surprised to see Huang Ting''s hand had been broken. It was the first time he had seen Huang Ting''s injuries to be so severe.


    Huang Ting held onto his severed arm, as fresh blood still flowed out. He gritted his teeth and said, "I met Di Chen just now and wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn''t expect his strength to rise so quickly, destroy my martial soul, and even break my hand."


    "What?" Previously, he still wanted to find a chance to kill, but even his own big brother was not Di Chen''s opponent, so how could he possibly be able to kill Di Chen?


    If he were to rashly go and kill Di Chen, the consequences would be unimaginable!


    Huang Zhan clenched his fists and said angrily: "This Di Chen should die, back then in Thousand Monster Mountain, we shouldn''t have let him live. Big brother, what should we do now?"


    Huang Ting quickly recovered his calm and said: "I know that Qing Han and the others invited Di Chen to the Heavenly Eye Lake in Thousand Monster Mountain to kill Blacktooth. This is a good opportunity for me to kill them.


    Huang Zhan said worriedly: "But big brother, you suffered such heavy injuries and the martial soul was also destroyed by Di Chen, how are you going to kill him?"


    Huang Ting squinted, "I have a method..."


    Saying that, he paused, his gaze falling upon Huang Zhan as he pondered: "I think you want to kill Di Chen too, but with your talent, I am afraid that it will be difficult to kill him in this life. How about this, you give your martial soul and cultivation technique to me, then I will have the chance to kill Di Chen."


    "This ¡­" Huang Zhan retreated in shock, giving his martial soul to him, then he would be crippled, he wanted to kill Di Chen, but he never thought of using his own cultivation as the price.


    Huang Ting snorted: "What, I''m your big brother, could it be that you don''t even agree to such a small request?"


    Huang Zhan said anxiously: "Big Brother, this is not a small request. My talent is not better than yours, if I were to give you the martial soul, then I would no longer have the qualifications to stay in the Sky Realm Academy, I cannot give it to you."


    martial soul was the most important thing to a warrior, it would accompany them through their entire life of cultivation. Without martial soul, they wouldn''t even be considered warriors, but now that Huang Ting wanted Huang Zhan''s martial soul, how would he be willing to give it to him.


    Huang Ting berated: "Huang Zhan, you''re not even going to listen to Big Brother''s words?"


    Huang Zhan said angrily: "Of course I would agree to any other request, but martial soul is the second life of a warrior, how can I give it to you?


    Huang Ting said angrily: "At first, if you hadn''t offended Di Chen and the others, I wouldn''t have sought revenge against Di Chen and even more so, wouldn''t have been destroyed by him. All of this is because of you, but now, you aren''t even willing to give me the martial soul.


    After saying that, he slapped Huang Zhan with his palm, directly sending him flying. Huang Zhan was after all, only at the fifth stage of Life Seizing.


    "Big brother, don''t, I''m your little brother, you can''t steal my martial soul ¡­"


    Huang Zhan''s face was filled with shock. He was really scared, his own big brother actually wanted to cripple him?


    Huang Ting wholeheartedly wanted to obtain the martial soul, so how could he listen to Huang Zhan''s pleas? With one step, he threw himself in front of Huang Zhan, grabbed Huang Zhan''s forehead, and forcefully pulled his soul out.


    "Ah ¡­" Huang Zhan screamed. The pain of his soul being extracted was even more excruciating than being cut by a knife. It was not something an ordinary person could endure.


    Huang Zhan''s martial soul slowly came out from between his brows. He wanted to retract the martial soul but he couldn''t.


    "Big brother, I beg of you, don''t steal my martial soul," Huang Zhan begged while crying.


    Huang Ting acted as though he had lost all sense of reason, he did not care about how much pain Huang Zhan was in right now, and quickly pulled out the martial soul from his body. Huang Zhan''s martial soul was a sword, although it was normal, but its power was strong amongst the artifact martial soul.


    Stealing other people''s martial soul was not easy. Firstly, you have to be stronger than them in strength, secondly you have to have the ability to fuse with their martial soul, and under normal circumstances, naturally type martial soul were the hardest to snatch. After all, this kind of martial soul was only virtual and could not be touched, while the beast martial soul were more ferocious.


    "Success," Huang Ting''s face was filled with excitement, he laughed crazily: "Even though this Sword Martial Spirit isn''t too strong, it can at least increase my strength by several fold. Once I recover my arm, I''ll just need to cultivate your Wind Cry Slash to kill Di Chen."


    He then took out the Feng Yin Slash''s cultivation method from Huang Zhan''s arms. This was something he had obtained back at Thousand Monster Mountain, a top grade Profound Rank cultivation technique was also very useful to Huang Ting.


    Huang Zhan who had his martial soul lashed out was dispirited, he looked hatefully at Huang Ting, he knew that Huang Ting had crippled him.


    Huang Ting realized the malice in Huang Zhan''s eyes and snorted: "I''m your big brother, if it weren''t for me, you wouldn''t even be able to enter the Sky Realm Academy. All these years, I''ve helped you with a lot of things, why can''t you help me this time?


    With that, he walked out.


    Huang Zhan stared at Huang Ting''s back with resentment. He hated Di Chen the most before, but he never imagined that the person who would cripple him one day would actually be Huang Ting!


    Wait for you to break through your Martial King Realm before you help me condense the martial soul?


    Even if you can pass Martial King Realm, so what? The price of refining a martial soul is just too big, how much time would you waste on cultivation?


    "Huang Ting..." Huang Zhan clenched his fist and said: "I will definitely kill you."


    He spent five hundred points on this Great Recovery Pill, and he had been saving these points for a long time. He had originally wanted to keep his points for exchange for an Earth grade weapon, but now that he was going to earn more points, he gnashed his teeth in anger as he thought about his past missions, causing Di Chen''s killing intent to become even more severe.


    "Eh, isn''t that Huang Ting? One of his hands was broken by Di Chen just now, and martial soul was also destroyed, he''s already a cripple, is there any use in buying a Great Recovery Pill to recover from his injuries?"


    "He probably wants to make a last ditch effort, but with his strength, many people in D class can beat him, there''s no need for a cripple like him to continue staying in Sky Realm Academy. If I were him, I would have left the academy long ago, saving myself the embarrassment."


    Huang Ting was extremely haughty before, and many people did not like Huang Ting. Although Class B had flattered him a lot before, it was because he was strong, and now that he had been destroyed by the martial soul, no one was afraid of him. All of them openly mocked him.


    Huang Ting''s gaze turned cold, and he suddenly turned to look at a person, who had just said it out loud, and was not afraid of Huang Ting at all. That person also noticed Huang Ting''s unfriendly gaze and looked at him with ridicule.


    Huang Ting was not angry, but instead sneered, he pressed on his forehead and a sharp sword shot out from between his eyebrows, with a chi sound he cut off one of his arms, the man screamed out, and fresh blood poured out.


    "Sword Martial Spirit?" Everyone was startled, this Huang Ting was obviously a crippled martial soul, how did he suddenly have a Sword Martial Spirit?


    "This guy definitely stole someone else''s martial soul. Stealing martial soul is not allowed in Sky Realm Academy, this guy is really bold, are you not afraid of the Principal''s scolding?"


    martial soul s were the second life of a warrior. The disciples of the academy could fight with each other, but they could not go overboard either.


    Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him as they all retreated.


    First, he found a quiet place to refine the Great Recovery Pill, and his arm quickly recovered. Then, he went to the A class to find Yu Xiuyuan.


    "Hmm?" Yu Xiuyuan was startled when he saw Huang Ting as well. "I heard that you had broken your arm after being defeated by Di Chen earlier. Looks like you exchanged a Great Recovery Pill for it and recovered your arm, but why are you looking for me?"


    Huang Ting squinted his eyes: "This Di Chen is preparing to go to Thousand Monster Mountain''s Heaven Eye Lake to do a mission of killing Blacktooth. We can cooperate to kill Di Chen."


    Go to the Thousand Monster Mountain and kill him? Yu Xiuyuan laughed: "This guy killed two of my body friends, I want to kill him, but why should I go with you? You don''t even have a martial soul, with your current cultivation, you will only implicate me."


    Huang Ting tapped on his forehead, a sharp sword flew out from between his eyebrows and hovered in the air.


    "Sword Martial Spirit?" Yu Xiuyuan recognized it with a glance. "This is Huang Zhan''s martial soul, and you actually stole your brother''s martial soul?"


    It was fine that he stole someone else''s martial soul, but the key point was that he stole his own little brother''s martial soul. Even Yu Xiuyuan himself felt that Huang Ting''s methods were way too poisonous.


    Huang Ting put the Sword Martial Spirit into the center of his brows, and said disapprovingly: "I am his big brother, and I have been taking care of him all these years, so he should repay this big brother of his. And Di Chen was originally someone that he provoked, so he should give the martial soul to me."


    "You take care of him?" Yu Xiuyuan laughed coldly, since this Huang Ting is so ruthless, how could he possibly take care of Huang Zhan?


    Huang Ting said calmly: "This has nothing to do with you. Murong Yue died in Di Chen''s hands, don''t tell me you don''t want to take revenge?"


    When Murong Yue was mentioned, her eyes revealed killing intent. Murong Yue had fallen in love with him, how could he endure Murong being killed?


    Yu Xiuyuan was still a little worried, and went silent for a while: "This Di Chen being able to defeat you means that his strength is definitely not below mine, and this time he isn''t going to go hunt Blacktooth alone, so what if you have Sword Martial Spirit? You can''t beat him earlier, so what if you can''t beat him, and why should I cooperate with you?"


    Huang Ting flipped one of his hands, and conjured up a Wind Roar Slash cultivation technique, and laughed: What if I learn this technique?


    Yu Xiuyuan knew that previously, Huang Zhan had obtained a top grade Profound Rank technique from the Eternal Gate, and it should be this technique, although Huang Zhan could not release much of its power, but it was different with Huang Ting, if he were to learn it, he would not even be his opponent.


    "Ok," Yu Xiuyuan agreed without hesitation.


    Huang Ting laughed, he kept the technique and squinted his eyes, this time Di Chen was definitely going to die.

 C82

    "Di Chen..."


    Di Chen didn''t know how long he had been writing when he heard Qin Suer''s voice from outside. Only now did Di Chen come to his senses, and when he opened the door, he asked: "Su''er, what''s the matter?"


    Qin Suer said: "Nothing much, just that you have been in my room for an entire day, and were a bit worried, so I came to take a look."


    "One day?" Di Chen only felt that he had just started writing, why did it feel like it had already been a day? He turned his head and looked at the room, on the floor were pieces of white paper with the word "spear" written incomplete on them, on the table instead, there were a few complete "spear" written on the white paper.


    Di Chen moved his aching hands but he still did not notice it. This meant that he had not reached his limit yet, so he smiled: "You also know that I often forget about time when I was writing, but I never expected it to be this long."


    "Hmm?" As Di Chen spoke, he suddenly felt the power of the scholar in his body increase by quite a bit. He was surprised to have already broken through to the 8th level of the Scholar Realm.


    A scholar''s reading and writing could increase the power of a scholar, it was just that Di Chen did not expect that this time, he had actually broken through a whole realm.


    Qin Suer held Di Chen''s arm and laughed: "You are not a warrior, cultivating for too long is not good for your body. Coincidentally, the Flowerless Fruit over there has matured, come pick it with me."


    Although Di Chen''s spirit was full, his body was still a little tired. He had thought that he would be going to Thousand Monster Mountain tomorrow, so he decided that he should recuperate now, and it would not be appropriate for him to cultivate, so he went to pick figs with Qin Suer, but the truth was that he also wanted to accompany Qin Suer. When he returned, he saw that Yang Mengqi was practicing martial arts, and Yuan Tong was fiddling with the flowers, he also noticed Di Chen.


    "Di Chen." It was at this time that a familiar voice sounded.


    "Huang Zhan," Qin Suer couldn''t help but become angry the moment she saw him. She was the one who had wanted to kill Di Chen before, and she said furiously: "This is the medicinal garden, what are you doing here?"


    "I have something to say to Di Chen," Huang Zhan said with a haggard face and a dispirited expression. He gave off the feeling of a seriously injured person that had yet to recover, and did not have a single trace of his previous haughtiness.


    Di Chen glanced at Huang Zhan and said: "I don''t have anything to say to you, if you want to fight, I''ll accompany you."


    Huang Zhan said weakly: "I am not here to fight with you, I really have something I want to say to you, just give me a minute."


    Di Chen thought that with his strength, he would not be able to scheme anything, so he nodded and followed Huang Zhan to the side: "What?"


    Huang Zhan clenched his fist and gritted his teeth: "My big brother stole my martial soul, he''s preparing to ambush you with Yu Xiuyuan in Thousand Monster Mountain."


    "Huang Ting stole your martial soul?" Di Chen''s face was full of surprise, no wonder when he saw Huang Zhan being so weak, the spirit force in his body was lacking, the Sky Realm Academy had clearly stated that stealing other people''s martial soul was not allowed, this was demonic way of conduct, not only did Huang Ting steal it, he even stole his little brother''s martial soul?


    Di Chen said in a speechless manner, "Your big brother is really vicious, to be able to do such a thing, what are you trying to tell me about?"


    Huang Zhan said: "Just now, I had carefully thought about it, the only contradiction between you and I is Li Xin, but this matter is indeed our fault. I still bear grudges against you for killing Li Xin, but compared to you, I hate my big brother even more. He stole my martial soul and cultivation technique, causing me to become a cripple.


    This Huang Ting really did not give up on killing him.


    Di Chen was not afraid, and said calmly: "I know, if this Huang Ting still wants to kill me, I will definitely not let him off, you don''t have to say this."


    With that, Di Chen returned to the courtyard. Huang Zhan looked at Di Chen for a while and then left.


    If it was before, he would have already killed Huang Ting due to his temper, but in the Sky Realm Academy, he could not kill him. However, if he still came to kill him in the Thousand Monster Mountain, Di Chen would have a reason to kill him, it would just be a little troublesome this time, Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan were moving together, although Di Chen was going to do the mission together with Qing Han, but they would not be fighting against two experts of the ninth stage just for him, so Di Chen was afraid that they might choose to spectate from the sidelines.


    "No," Di Chen suddenly thought of something, only the five of them knew that he was going on a mission to hunt the Blacktooth with Qing Han, how did Huang Ting know that?


    It must have been one of the four of them who told Huang Ting this, but who else could it be? Why did he do this, could it be that even though he was Huang Ting''s man, he still wanted to kill him?


    "Who could it be?" Di Chen thought that when the four of them said that the new students were not well liked by the older students, they did not like Huang Ting at all. But now, there was actually someone who leaked the news that Di Chen was going to carry out a mission in the Thousand Monster Mountain, which meant that not everyone had spoken the truth, and there was at least one person who was definitely Huang Ting''s man.


    "Looks like this trip to the Thousand Monster Mountain was very dangerous," Di Chen thought. However, it wouldn''t be difficult to kill one more Huang Ting, and he didn''t know if they would be able to move along with the other experts.


    Qin Suer saw that Di Chen was frowning and asked curiously: Di Chen, what is Huang Zhan looking for you for?


    Di Chen repeated what he said to them once more, including the matter of him having his martial soul stolen and the matter of Huang Ting preparing to go to Thousand Monster Mountain to assassinate him.


    Qin Suer heard and sighed: "This Huang Ting is really poisonous, to actually steal Huang Zhan''s martial soul. Huang Zhan wanted to kill you so much, but he didn''t think that one day he would actually fall for his big brother''s evil hands."


    Di Chen looked at Yang Mengqi and asked: "Didn''t the academy prohibit stealing other people''s martial soul, doesn''t the Principal care?"


    When Yang Mengqi heard this, she was also a little angry, but she did not plan to pursue the matter further: "The Principal might not know about this matter, even if she knows about it, she will not say anything."


    Di Chen asked with doubt: "Why?"


    Yang Mengqi said calmly: Although stealing martial soul is a shameful thing, it is very common for Martial Region Continent to rob people, but outside there are no Sky Realm Academy s who are restricted by these rules, there are no Sky Realm Academy s. The fact that Sky Realm Academy s can''t grow their little flowers in a greenhouse, the fact that you were taken away by others means that you are weak, no one will pity you, after all, warriors are too dangerous on this road, no one can force you to learn martial arts, furthermore, whether it is in terms of talent or strength, Huang Ting is stronger than Huang Zhan. Now that Huang Ting has already stolen it, do you want him to return?


    Di Chen was speechless. Although there was a rule in Sky Realm Academy, sometimes the weak did not have a human right to live.


    You''re weak, yet you''re being bullied, that''s what you deserve. It''s just like Huang Zhan, who doesn''t even have a place where the martial soul is snatched away ¡­


    Qin Suer said worriedly: "Di Chen, this time Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan are determined to kill you. I think it''s best if you don''t go."


    Di Chen laughed: "Teacher Yang has already said, the path of warriors is already dangerous, how can one retreat after encountering danger."


    Yang Mengqi said: "But you can''t go up and ram yourself even though you know that you''re dead. I didn''t let you die, you know that."


    Di Chen shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "With my current strength, killing a person at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Cultivator isn''t difficult. Don''t worry about it."


    Qin Suer was still afraid that Di Chen would be in danger, so she thought for a while before saying, "Why don''t you find Shang Yu or Qiu Tang to move together?


    Di Chen shook his head: "Forget it, I am not really close with Qiu Tang, and I don''t know what Shang Yu was doing during this period of time, I can''t even see his, I can handle this kind of thing by myself, there''s no need to trouble them."


    Qin Suer knew that no one could stop Di Chen from making his decision, so she didn''t say anymore. Yang Mengqi didn''t mind, she knew that Di Chen had always been cautious when doing things, and would definitely be fine.


    On the second day, Di Chen went to Thousand Monster Mountain with Qing Han and the other three.


    The Heaven Eye Lake was to the west of the Thousand Monster Mountain, near the mountainside. On this road, there were many Demonic King of the first and second ranks, as well as countless demonic beast, making it extremely dangerous for them. The average strength of the four was at the eighth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm.


    "If we continue on this path, we will reach the Heaven Eye Lake."


    At the foot of the Thousand Monster Mountain, Qing Han looked at a deep path and said: "Previously, many people of Sky Realm Academy went to the Heaven Eye Lake, so the number of demonic beast that approached this path is relatively small. We definitely cannot deviate from this path later on."


    He laughed for the rest of his life: "After all, there are too many experts who have passed through this road. Those demonic beast wouldn''t dare to approach us, so if we are lucky, we might be able to avoid the Demonic King."


    Bai Yi looked at the time and said, "It''s noon now, the majority of the demonic beast won''t come out at this time. Let''s hurry up and go."


    Everyone immediately entered the Thousand Monster Mountain. The Thousand Monster Mountain had tall trees that reached into the sky, and waves of demonic beast cries came out from the side. They were all normal demonic beast s at the beginning, and were not a threat to the few of them, but after walking for about an hour, they saw level 7 and 8 demonic beast s, and from that point onwards, they had seen danger. However, they were lucky, they had met with very few level 7 demonic beast, as if those demonic beast had suddenly disappeared.


    The Thousand Monster Mountain is a beast mountain, but you can''t even see a single demonic beast?


    "Before, we could see one level eight demonic beast every thousand meters. But today, we''ve only seen two of them. We''re pretty lucky."


    Bai Yi laughed: "If this goes on, we will reach the Heaven''s Eye Lake in four hours."


    Qing Han frowned: "But there are too few demonic beast here, I keep having this uneasy feeling."


    "You are too sensitive. There is the aura of a Martial King on this road, so it is normal for there to be fewer demonic beast approaching this road."


    Everyone continued to delve deeper, and no one put it in their hearts, but Di Chen started to feel unease, he wiped his eyes, and looked at everyone. He discovered that all four of them were emitting a faint black light, which meant that their future fate was very miserable, maybe their miserable fate would be right here in Thousand Monster Mountain, Di Chen complained in his heart, acting with these four people was simply suicide, why didn''t he make a decision earlier?

 C83

    "Hmm?" Bing Tong, who had not spoken for a long time, raised his hand to stop them from advancing further, and said cautiously: "There is a strong demonic Qi nearby."


    He surveyed his surroundings for the rest of his life, saying in confusion, "Why don''t I feel any monsters ¡­"


    Whoosh!


    Before he could finish his sentence, a Demonic Wolf scuttled out from the trees and rushed over quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of him for the rest of his life, biting on his body, its sharp teeth embedded into the heart of his body. With its remaining time, it cried out miserably, its four limbs drooping powerlessly.


    "This ¡­" Everyone retreated in fear when they saw the remaining life that was in the mouth of the Demonic Wolf. The remaining life that was fine before, was actually killed in an instant?


    The Demonic Wolf was very strong, one was able to kill two demonic beast of the same level, and the key thing was that the bloodhound was a group of animals that lived in groups, so one of them could mean that there were still a lot of them in the area.


    Just as everyone thought, another bloodhound appeared from all over the place, there were more than 20 of them, and they surrounded the group and roared.


    "So many?" Everyone then understood why they did not see a single demonic beast from before. It was probably because they were scared away by these bloodhound.


    "What do we do? With our strength, the four of us are basically unable to kill that many level nine bloodhound." Qing Han said in fear.


    Bai Yi gritted his teeth: "What else can we do? We can''t escape, we can only fight head on."


    Bing Tong said worriedly: "Our average strength is at the eighth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm. We can only take on four or five ninth stage demonic beast at most, but there are more than twenty of them here. How are we going to fight them?"


    Warriors and demonic beast would have a world of difference in strength at every level. Furthermore, bloodhound were not comparable to the average level nine demonic beast, not to mention there were many of them. Even Martial Kings would not be able to escape death here.


    "We are not certain to lose, do not be afraid," Di Chen who had been silent all this while suddenly spoke up, his eyes were calm, and he was not as frightened as the others.


    "What method?" Qing Han asked quickly. Previously, Di Di Di Di had beaten Huang Ting, and he was the strongest person here, his techniques were also mysterious, so everyone could only hope for him.


    Di Chen said seriously: "I can imprison them for 3 seconds, you must kill all the bloodhound within 3 seconds, even if you cannot kill them, you must at least injure them heavily."


    A few of them suddenly thought that Di Chen had already imprisoned Li Caishi before, and thought that even Li Caishi could do so, it shouldn''t be a problem for him to imprison these bloodhound.


    "Three seconds?" Bing Tong and the other two looked at each other, they were not confident in themselves.


    At this time, the bloodhound pounced towards the three of them.


    Di Chen immediately took out three pieces of paper that were written with fixed characters and threw them out. Scholar''s power surged and he shouted: "Freeze!"


    With just a single shout, a unique power spread out like a ripple. Those bloodhound''s bodies suddenly stopped, as if they had come to a standstill.


    "Quick, I can''t hold on much longer," Di Chen anxiously shouted.


    Bing Tong tapped the center of his brows, and a gust of cold air spread out in all directions. Wherever the cold air passed by, everything was frozen solid, as though the entire small world had turned into an ocean of ice and the bloodhound were also frozen into ice sculptures.


    "Die," Bing Tong pinched hard, and those snow wolves that had been frozen into ice sculptures immediately shattered into pieces.


    Bai Yi released his martial soul as well. His martial soul was a Heart Eating Bug, and with a sky full of Heart Eating Insects, it could swallow an entire bloodhound completely wherever it went.


    Qing Han took out a large sword. The sword was completely black, and the word "Black Water" was engraved on the sword body. It was also a peak grade Profound Rank Spirit Sword, it could easily kill a level nine demonic beast.


    The three of them did their best to kill the bloodhound, and in just three seconds, they had killed more than a dozen of them. However, at this time, the bloodhound moved again and rushed towards them.


    "Not good, there are still five bloodhound s," Qing Han cried inwardly. Just now, Bing Tong and Bai Yi had used all their power, the energy in their bodies had been scattered, their complexions had become pale, and they did not have the slightest strength to fight against one bloodhound. Qing Han''s situation was slightly better, but he could at most deal with one bloodhound.


    Di Chen suddenly took a step forward, and wrote two consecutive "Slash" in the air with one finger. The two "Slash" slashed across the bodies of the two bloodhound s like blades.


    "Chi!"


    The two bloodhound were immediately sliced into two, and fell from the sky. Fresh blood flowed onto the ground.


    The remaining three saw that Di Chen was in danger and rushed towards him at the same time. It was obvious that they knew Di Chen was in danger.


    Di wrote the word "broken" again, flying towards the three bloodhound. The word "broken" exploded in the middle of the three bloodhound, and with a boom, the three bloodhound were instantly blasted into blood and flesh, falling to the ground piece by piece.


    "So powerful," The three of them were shocked. Five bloodhound were actually killed so easily by Di Chen, most likely even someone at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Stage wouldn''t be able to do this, no wonder this guy could defeat Huang Ting.


    Qing Han asked curiously: "Di Chen, I saw you use this move against Senior Sister Li Caishi earlier during the assessment, and fought against Huang Ting with this move, what kind of technique is this, why does it not require spirit energy?"


    Di Chen took out a book. This was taken out from the Eternal Gate, and was a handwritten version of Di Chen''s title.


    "Comprehension?" The three of them looked curiously at the book in Di Chen''s hands. Di Chen was talking about comprehending, not learning, which meant that this book was not a cultivation technique.


    Di Chen thought that these three people did not guess that he was literati. He did not try to explain himself and put away the book, so the three did not ask any further.


    Bing Tong looked around and said, "Let''s not talk about this for now, let''s quickly leave this place."


    "Wait for me," Di Chen said as he put away the remaining corpses of the red-eyed wolves. There were no corpses of the bloodhound that Bing Tong and Bai Yi had killed earlier.


    Bai Yi said in a speechless manner: "Although this bloodhound is also a level 9 demonic beast, their corpses are not worth much, even if it can''t be used to refine medicine or to refine weapons, and these corpses are all chopped into pieces, it''s useless, what do you want to pick them up for?"


    "I''ll use it for cultivation," Di Chen said casually. There were about seven to eight wolf corpses left here, and if Di Chen were to absorb all of them, he would at least be able to break through from the fifth stage of Life Seizing to the seventh stage.


    The other people did not know how Di Chen trained using the Demonic Wolf''s flesh, so they did not ask. Seeing that, they could only help Di Chen pick up the wolf''s corpse, and after doing so, they quickly left.


    However, not long after they left, a white wolf suddenly walked out from the forest. This white wolf was around 20 feet tall, its fur was like thorns, and obviously its Profound Spirit Qi had already reached the Demonic King, it stared fixedly at the direction Di Chen had left in, its eyes becoming very human, and quietly following him.


    After half an hour, they found a cave. This cave was very concealed and was suitable for recovering elemental energy. Thus, they stayed behind.


    "Let''s recover our elemental energy here," Bai Yi said.


    "I need to recover my elemental energy as soon as possible." I need to recover my elemental energy as soon as possible. Bing Tong''s face was grave. The woman''s sixth sense was very strong, she kept having the feeling that there was danger approaching, but he couldn''t say what it was.


    A few of them immediately took out pills to recover their spirit energy, Di Chen also took out the Demonic Wolf''s corpse and started to absorb it, the Pearl of Life in his body revolved frantically, the Demonic Wolf''s flesh and blood slowly merged into Di Chen''s body.


    When he absorbed the second bloodhound, Di Chen''s realm as a martial practitioner directly broke through the life seizing six stages. An hour later, Di Chen absorbed all of the bloodhound''s flesh and blood, and broke through to the seventh stage of the life seizing realm. The speed at which he absorbed flesh and blood was much faster than before, and this was also because of the increase in realm of the literati.


    The increase in realm of literati was beneficial to the increase in realm of warriors, but it was the same too.


    "Fighters are at the seventh level of Life Seizing Supreme. If I rely on my own strength, I should be able to fight against those who are at the eighth level of Life Seizing. The cultivation of a scholar is at the eighth level of the scholar realm, and just by relying on the cultivation of a scholar, one should be able to easily kill a ninth level Life Seizing Cultivator. "


    Di Chen analyzed his own strength, thinking that if he were to break through to the eighth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, there would be very few Lifestealer Realm that would be able to compete with him, but to break through to the eighth stage of Life Seizing Realm, he would need to absorb at least 30 or so ninth stage demonic beast.


    Seeing that Bing Tong and the rest were still cultivating, Di Chen took out a pen and paper and started to write. He wrote the word ''Set'', and prepared a few more ''Set'' formula s to benefit his following actions, but this time, he would not forget his own realm.


    "Hmm?" Just at this time, Di Chen suddenly felt a strong power entering the cave. He focused his eyes and immediately walked out of the cave, the outside of the cave was quiet without any Spirit Demon Qi, but this made Di Chen feel uneasy.


    Di Chen didn''t discover anything as he walked back and casually took out a book to read. As long as he had time, he would read it.


    However, the moment he entered the cave, the white bloodhound came out from behind a tree and stared at the cave.


    After another hour, everyone''s elemental energy finally recovered and they woke up from their cultivation.


    "Di Chen, you recovered?" Bing Tong saw that Di Chen was actually reading a book, and was speechless in his heart.


    Di Chen laughed: "I''ve already recovered. Seeing that you guys are still cultivating and have nothing else to do, I went to look for a book."


    Qing Han saw that Di Chen was not reading the book he was reading just now, and asked curiously: Could it be that this book can also help you comprehend cultivation techniques?


    Di Chen shook his head: "I don''t have this book, but I like reading books. I have brought quite a bit here, if you guys want to see it, I can lend it to you."


    Everyone was speechless, thinking that only someone with Di Chen''s strength would be able to do it so easily in such a dangerous environment.

 C84

    "It''s a matter of life and death. There''s still some distance between this place and Heaven''s Eye Lake. Should we continue moving forward?"


    Bai Yi was determined to retreat, and said fearfully: "There must be even stronger demonic beast on our way here, this mission is not something that we can complete, I think we should give up on it."


    There were very few disciples in the Sky Realm Academy who had the Lifestealer Realm to penetrate deep into this place, so it was normal for Bai Yi to be afraid.


    Qing Han objected: "We''re already here, we can''t let ourselves die in vain. We can''t just turn back like that after walking for half an hour.


    These words were indeed unpleasant to hear, but they were also the truth. Everyone could get an extra five points, which was equivalent to five million silver taels.


    Bing Tong agreed: "Just now, these bloodhound have already helped us clean up a large portion of the demonic beast. The next section of the road will be a bit easier, let''s continue."


    Bai Yi looked at Di Chen again, but Di Chen didn''t care, he just followed along. Seeing this, Bai Yi could no longer object, as he did not dare to return by himself.


    They would occasionally see a few demonic beast that were easily killed by the four of them and would be given to Di Chen as the demon corpses. However, after walking for more than twenty minutes, the number of demonic beast had increased, and this place had already left the range of the bloodhound. From this point on, Demonic King would appear, and the four of them had to be extra careful.


    Di Chen rubbed his eyes, which were emitting a sharp light. He noticed that the black halos surrounding Bing Tong and the other two were thicker, which meant that they would very likely die on the road ahead. He groaned in his heart, and it seemed that he was going to be in even more danger.


    "Hmm? Look, "Bai Yi suddenly stopped everyone and pointed:" That is a black ringed snake.


    Everyone looked towards the direction that Bai Yi was pointing at. Twenty metres away, there was a huge snake with a coiled up body. This snake had a black ring on its body and a black crown on its head.


    Bing Tong''s expression changed as he said, "This black ringed snake is of Demonic King rank. Let''s go around it."


    "Wait," Qing Han said hesitantly: "This black ringed snake is a first grade Demonic King and we haven''t discovered us yet. If we sneak attack, we might be able to kill this black ringed snake.


    "Are you crazy?" Bing Tong hurriedly explained: "This black ringed snake is a Demonic King, how can it not notice us? Under normal circumstances, snakes wouldn''t casually attack other people after eating, but if they encounter danger they would spit out something they eat and attack you. Your idea of hitting it is simply courting death."


    Bing Tong was knowledgeable and understood all kinds of habits of demonic beast, so hearing her say this, Qing Han had no choice but to give up.


    In fact, it was just as Bing Tong had said. If not for the fact that everyone was lucky and met the black ringed snake, it would have ambushed them right after they finished eating.


    The group had no choice but to take a detour. On the left was a miasma, and without a doctor accompanying them, it was very dangerous. They could only take a detour on the right. Although it was a long way, it was still relatively safe.


    The vegetation on the right was lush, and trees towered into the forest. There was no road, and it was likely that no one had passed through here.


    Suddenly!


    "Hmm?" Di Chen frowned, he stopped in his tracks, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him.


    "Di Chen, what''s wrong?" Bing Tong continued to look at what Di Chen was doing. Other than the lush vegetation behind him, there was nothing else.


    "I''m fine," Di Chen said as he shook his head. Ever since he had cultivated to the eighth stage of the Scholar''s Realm, he had become much more sensitive than before. Although he did not sense any aura, he had clearly sensed that someone was following him.


    The group continued their journey. Not long after they left, a bush behind them suddenly shook and a white wolf head poked out.


    "Weird," Bing Tong stopped after walking for another 10 minutes or so. He frowned, and looked around vigilantly, other than a few tall trees and a few stones, there was nothing else.


    Qing Han asked: "Bing Tong, what''s the problem?"


    Bing Tong was worried: "This place is already halfway up the mountain, there should be a lot of demonic beast, but here not only are there no demonic beast, there are even no normal insects, don''t you think it''s strange?


    Once she said that, the others revealed a hint of worry. Previously, they didn''t see any demonic beast either, and then a group of red-eyed wolves suddenly jumped out. The current situation was exactly the same as before.


    "It''s indeed too quiet, there shouldn''t be any Demonic King, right?" Bai Yi retreated a little, and the few of them placed their backs against each other, vigilantly looking around them.


    At this moment, the vines coiled around the tree trunk suddenly moved like snakes, rolling towards the four of them.


    "Not good," Di Chen was the first to react, he immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "Set" written on it, and threw it out.


    Qing Han quickly took out his Blackwater Sword and slashed at the vines, cutting off all the vines one by one.


    Bing Tong and Bai Yi took out their swords and slashed at the vines, the vines were extremely tough, if not for the three of them being powerful, they would not be able to cut through the vines, but there were too many vines, so they did not stop.


    At this moment, a huge rock in the distance suddenly split into several pieces. The "rock" seemed to have its mouth wide open. One could even see reverse thorns within it. These reverse thorns were like teeth.


    "What is this?" Di Chen had seen many demonic beast, but this was the first time he saw a plant that could attack humans.


    "It''s a man-eating flower," Bing Tong said anxiously. "This flower will swallow the demonic beast, you must not be entangled by it. Di Chen, we will protect you, you better hurry up and kill it."


    There were also many rare plants in the Martial Region Continent that could hunt insects, and some were even able to hunt large demonic beast s. This kind of plant was countless times stronger than those demonic beast s, and the man-eating flower was the most common type.


    Its vines were poisonous, its poison could numb its prey, and it was difficult to struggle free from its effects in the same realm. Ordinary man-eating flowers like these were equivalent to level nine demonic beast, and some older man-eating flowers could even cover the entire mountain. Even Martial Saint would be devoured by it, it was extremely terrifying.


    Everyone then understood why there were no demonic beast here. It was probably because the man-eating flower had swallowed them.


    Ye Bodhi immediately wrote a "Slash", and the "Slash" character turned into a ten feet long blade that floated towards the man-eating flower.


    At this time, an arm-thick vine came chopping down at the word "cut". The word "cut" was shattered with a poof, but the vine was also cut in half.


    "Seems like Beheading formula was unable to kill the man-eating flower," Di Chen wrote another "Broken" character that floated towards the man-eating flower. In the end, it was destroyed by the vines of the man-eating flower again, and again.


    Whoosh!


    Just at this moment, a vine whipped towards Di Chen, and this scene was too sudden. Di Chen hastily punched the vine, and with a pu sound, he shattered the vine, but he was also sent flying by a huge force, heavily smashing onto the ground.


    "This flower is even stronger than a level nine demonic beast," Di Chen complained on the inside. If his realm was at the ninth stage of Life Seizing, he could forcefully rush to the man eating flower to kill it.


    Bing Tong could also tell that Di Chen was in a difficult situation, and immediately said: "Qing Han, Bai Yi, you two cover me, I used martial soul to freeze this man-eating flower."


    As she spoke, she tapped the center of her forehead and a burst of cold energy surged out. All the vines that were affected by the cold energy were frozen, but Bing Tong''s cold energy was limited in its coverage, and there were too many vines here, so she could not freeze every single one of them. There were also many vines that were pulled towards Bing Tong, who was unable to protect himself while using his martial soul.


    After a few breaths of time, the cold spread to the man eating plant and it quickly froze into ice, like a huge ice sculpture. However, it was obvious that the man eating plant was not deep enough to break free at any time.


    "Di Chen, quickly, I won''t be able to hold on for long." Bing Tong anxiously said as she clenched his teeth and released the martial soul.


    Di Chen quickly passed through the frozen vines and arrived in front of the man eating plant. He wrote a huge word on the man eating plant, "Break", then quickly retreated and shouted, "Break!"


    Bang!


    With an explosion, the man-eating flower was smashed into smithereens with shallow flesh. The man-eating flower was a plant, but it had the same flesh as the demonic beast.


    Just then, the vines collapsed and began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Once we pass this place, we''ll be at Heaven''s Eye Lake. Let''s hurry up and leave this place." Bai Yi did not dare to stay any longer.


    "Wait a minute," Bing Tong picked up the man eating plant''s flesh, smiled and said: "The man eating plant''s flesh is different from the demonic beast''s, you can eat it raw, this flesh can be used not only for cultivation, but also to hide the human spirit in our bodies, you guys can all eat a little, this way you can avoid the demonic beast."


    With that, he took out a piece of flesh and stuffed it into his mouth.


    This was the first time Di Chen had heard of meat that could be eaten raw, and he felt disgusted when he saw it. He thought about it, but still picked it up and started to eat, the meat did not have a meat taste, but tasted like a fruit, a crisp and sweet taste, and there was even a boundless energy entering Di Chen''s body. Di Chen was secretly delighted, he immediately activated the Pearl of Life and picked up the man eating flower''s meat to eat it with all his might.


    The rest were speechless when they saw Di Chen wolfing down his food, afraid that someone would snatch it away from them. This guy was really greedy, these man eating flowers were useful for a few people, but he actually ate them so crazily?


    Bing Tong said: "Di Chen, while this meat can help you improve your cultivation, it still needs to be refined slowly. Eating it this way is useless."


    Di Chen acted as if he did not hear his words, picked up the man eating plant and stuffed it into his mouth, eating very quickly.

 C85

    Bai Yi and Qing Han looked at each other, it was the first time they saw someone eating so fast, even demonic beast s did not have such speed, the two of them saw that half of the man eating flower meat on the ground was actually quickly eaten by Di Chen, they immediately picked up the rest, they could not let Di Chen finish it alone.


    After eating for a while, Di Chen stopped. The human eating flower flesh had already completely merged with his body, Di Chen felt his own strength, and had already broke through to the 8th level of Life Seizing Stage. The human eating flower''s flesh was much better than the Demonic beast flesh and blood s.


    "Have you finished eating?" Bing Tong said speechlessly: "Did you know that eating like this just now was simply a waste? I can''t give you the rest."


    Di Chen was a little embarrassed, he wiped away the blood on his mouth and laughed awkwardly: "I''m not eating, you guys keep the rest."


    Qing Han looked at Di Chen strangely and said: "Why do you look so weird, how exactly do you cultivate?"


    Di Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "You will know in the future. Let''s go."


    It was obvious that Di Chen did not want to say it, so no one dared to pursue the matter further.


    Just as Bing Tong said, after eating the flesh and blood of the man eating flower, they started to emit a faint smell of the man eating flower, concealing the smell of their bodies. And the demonic beast s of the Thousand Monster Mountain did not dare to approach the man eating flower, so when they smelled this smell, they would subconsciously move away, which made the rest of the journey much safer.


    Heaven''s Eye Lake was a round lake with a diameter of a hundred meters. The lake water was dark blue, and various types of fish were chasing each other. A gentle breeze blew past, and ripples appeared on the surface.


    "Don''t just look at how there''s no activity at the moment, there are quite a few Demonic King s in the lake. I heard that someone saw Demon Emperor s in the lake before, but I don''t know if that''s true or not."


    Qing Han said with a grave expression on his face, "Let''s hurry up and find the fishy grass, and leave immediately after killing a Blacktooth."


    "Houttuynia?" Di Chen was suspicious, he did not understand why the Blacktooth s would need fishy herbs.


    Bing Tong explained: "These fishy grass can attract water attributed demonic beast, and their quantity will attract demonic beast of different ranks. We have to first find the fishy grass to draw out the Blacktooth, and only then will we be able to find the fishy grass which usually grows in the vicinity of the water.


    Qing Han said: "It''s best if we split up into groups of two, this way, when we meet demonic beast, we can also take care of them. Di Chen, we''ll split up into groups of two."


    Bing Tong thought that it was true, so she and Bai Yi headed towards the east while Di Chen and Qing Han headed towards the west.


    After a few minutes, the two of them could see that there were two stalks of fishy grass in the distance. However, what made the two of them difficult was that beside the fish-like grass, there were actually three Level 9 Great Rock Lizards. This Great Rock Lizard was an Earth Attribute demonic beast, its body was as hard as stone, and ordinary ninth stage Life Seizing Warriors would have a hard time dealing with a Great Rock Lizard.


    Qing Han asked: "What do we do, with my strength, I can barely hold a Rock Lizard back, but I can''t kill it."


    Di Chen hesitated: "This Great Cliff Lizard is one of the hardest demonic beast in the body, with my Broken formula, I''m afraid it won''t be able to kill it easily. How about we find Bing Tong and Bai Yi so that the four of them together might have a chance of winning."


    Qing Han shook his head: "We''ll be late when we wait for them. Earlier, you killed five bloodhound by yourself, so it shouldn''t be a problem for the two of us to take care of the three Great Rock Lizards now."


    Di Chen still did not want to take the risk: "Forget it, it''s not like there''s only fishy grass here, let''s look for it again, this Great Cliff Lizard is really too dangerous, I have no confidence in being able to get it."


    "Not sure?" Qing Han was surprised, he did not expect that even Di Chen would not have confidence in his abilities, but he still insisted: "It''s okay, it''s not like we need to fight to the death with the big rock lizard anyway, help me lure away the three big rock lizards, I''m going to go get the fishy grass."


    Seeing that Qing Han seemed to be very persistent, Di Chen thought for a while but still nodded his head. Walking to the side, the power of the scholars in his body surged, his finger wrote the word "Slash" in the air consecutively, drifting towards the Great Rock Lizards.


    "Chi!" "Chi!" "Chi!"


    Three "Slash" characters directly hit the body of the large rock lizard, the body of the large rock lizard was cut into shallow cracks, the injury was not serious.


    The three Giant Rock Lizards were immediately enraged, and rushed towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately took out and threw out two pieces of paper with the word "Stop" on it.


    "Qing Han, quick," Di Chen shouted. The was the weakest one among the scriptures of heaven. Although Di Chen had raised his cultivation level, the effect of the formula was getting smaller and smaller.


    Qing Han could tell that Di Chen could not hold on much longer, he immediately rushed over, picked up the fishy grass and rushed towards Di Chen.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen said as he saw that Qing Han had already obtained the Fish Scented Grass, and did not stay any longer.


    But at that moment, Qing Han suddenly slammed his palm onto Di Chen''s body, directly smashing Di Chen into the air and causing him to tumble over a dozen times on the ground, the copy of¡¶ Zi-Fei-Fish¡· also fell out.


    Di Chen really did not expect Qing Han to suddenly take action, he spat out a mouthful of blood and angrily said: "Qing Han, what is the meaning of this?"


    Qing Han picked up¡¶ Ether Eater Fish¡· and flew off into the distance, laughing out loud: "Di Chen, I don''t need you anymore, just let these few large rock lizards accompany you to have a good time."


    Di Chen looked coldly at the distant Qing Han. Before this, he had already guessed that someone had revealed his whereabouts to Huang Ting, and now that he saw Qing Han, he knew that it was him who had made a move against him. This guy had also been working very hard earlier, and had not expected that he would always want to kill.


    But a few big rock lizards want to deal with me?


    Just then, a large rock lizard crawled towards Di Chen, its lizard tail sweeping towards him.


    However, Di Chen was not afraid. He threw a punch straight at the large rock lizard, and with a bang, Di Chen felt as if he had hit a hard rock. He was pushed back a few steps, but the large rock lizard flipped over and vomited blood and died on the spot.


    The other two large rock lizards crawled over at the same time.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen bellowed, and threw out a piece of paper with the word "Stop", causing the two large rock lizards to stop.


    Di Chen took a stride forward, and with two punches, two large rock lizards were instantly smashed to death by Di Chen.


    It only took three seconds to kill the three Great Rock Lizards, how could Di Chen''s words be so strenuous?


    "Fortunately, I broke through the eighth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Force after eating the man eating flower meat," Di Chen''s gaze landed on the direction Qing Han had left and followed.


    If it was before, Di Chen''s fist had definitely not been able to kill the Great Rock Lizard, but now, Di Chen had swallowed a large amount of man-eating flowers, and his martial artist had already broken through to the eighth level of the Life Reaching Realm.


    Di Chen just knew that there were some that were bad for him, but he did not know which one, so he kept his strength hidden, he never expected that it was actually Qing Han.


    After Qing Han left, he did not reunite with Bing Tong immediately, but found a quiet place to study < < Enmity Fishing > >. He casually flipped through a few pages, the purpose of this book was to teach people the principles of cultivation, and not to learn anything.


    "Could it be that I am unable to comprehend it?" Qing Han suddenly thought back to what Di Chen had said before. If one wanted to learn this technique, they must first comprehend it, not everyone could learn it, but he was also a disciple of Class B, how could he not be able to comprehend it himself?


    Qing Han continued to flip through the books, but to no avail. If he could not comprehend it, then wouldn''t his actions have been in vain?


    "Did you find nothing?" At this moment, a playful voice was heard.


    "It''s you." Qing Han abruptly stood up, and stared at them in shock. "Why aren''t you dead?"


    Earlier, Qing Han had dared to attack because he saw that Di Chen was indistinctly unable to defeat those big rock lizards. Furthermore, he had injured Di Chen before he left yesterday, so how could he possibly return alive?


    Di Chen laughed playfully: "Do you really think that those few large rock lizards can injure me?"


    Qing Han calmed down again and stared intently at Di Chen. "Looks like you purposely showed weakness earlier. It seems like you didn''t believe me from the start, but so what? ¡­"


    After saying that, Qing Han revealed a cold smile: "You''re holding back, or do you think I''m not?"


    "Go and die," Qing Han said as he took out his Black Water Sword and slashed at Di Chen, the sharp wind whistling over.


    Di Chen used one finger to write the word "Broken" in the air to welcome him!


    Bang!


    Qing Han''s sword cut at the word "Break", with an explosion, the word "Break" was instantly shattered. Qing Han was also knocked back a few steps, but it was not too bad.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen did not expect him to actually be able to block this attack, and wrote a few more "Break" words, but the results were all the same, every one of the "Break" words had been destroyed, and this fellow was most likely much stronger than Bing Tong and Bai Yi.


    "It''s useless," Qing Han laughed out loud. "Di Chen, I have long studied your moves, and I know the approximate level of your might. If I don''t have absolute confidence, how would I be able to use it?"


    Qing Han leaped up, raising his sword, he fiercely slashed at Di Chen: "Di Chen, I know you are not good at close combat, let''s see how you will block this time."


    Before the sword had even landed, a terrifying pressure fell down, the power was actually not inferior to the Great Rock Lizard''s earlier, Qing Han had indeed conserved his strength.


    "You''re too proud of yourself. How do you know I''m not good at melee combat?" Di Chen laughed, he did not have the intention to dodge, and welcomed the gigantic sword with a fist, wanting to fight Qing Han head on.


    Bang!


    As the fists and swords clashed, Qing Han felt his arm go numb, and the sword flew out of his hand. His entire body was struck by a powerful force, and smashed into the ground heavily, his body felt like it had flipped over, as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "Impossible?" Qing Han said with a face full of shock, "This strike of yours is at least at the ninth stage of Life Seizing. Your previous battle with Huang Ting was clearly only at the seventh stage of Life Seizing."


    What made him even more suspicious was that if Di Chen''s punch was so strong, then how come he had never seen him punch before?

 C86

    Di Chen did not hide anything and said with a smile: "You also saw how I ate a lot of man-eating flower meat. I used this flesh and blood to break through to the eighth level of the life seizing realm."


    Qing Han could not believe it: "That''s impossible, whether it''s the demonic beast Demonic Pellet or those strange flowers, they all need to be refined into a pellet to be able to cultivate. How can consuming it directly have any effect?"


    In order to fully display the effects of the Spirit Flower Grass, one would first need to refine a pill to be able to absorb the Spirit Flower Grass. These Spirit Flower Grass were called poisonous, and could also be used as a poisonous herb, in order to make the most of the Spirit Flower Grass'' medicinal properties, one needed to refine a pill to be able to absorb the pill.


    Di Chen laughed: I have a Pearl of Life in my body, so I don''t need to refine various spirit flowers and herbs into pills like the others in order to absorb them, I can directly absorb the demonic beast and the medicinal essence of the herbs.


    "No wonder you train so fast, so it''s a Pearl of Life," Qing Han had heard of Pearl of Life before, this was an ancient mysterious object, it was able to convert the Demonic beast flesh and blood''s power into his own. Only now did he understand why Di Chen was only at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Realm during the test, but was already able to defeat Huang Ting within a short period of time.


    This time, Qing Han was finally afraid, and his face revealed fear, as he begged: "Di Chen, it was my fault before. I shouldn''t have plotted against you.


    "Give me five points?" Di Chen frowned, all the students of the Sky Realm Academy had stored the points in the school regulations. These points could only be used by oneself, other people could not use the points from other people''s school badges, which also meant that even if you steal someone''s school badge, the owner of the school badge could mainly give the points to other people, so the students of the Sky Realm Academy would also exchange their points for other people''s.


    Just five points on the outside was equivalent to fifty thousand worth of purchasing power, and was not a lot.


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "Your life is only worth five points, do you know that if I kill each of us in your mission, we can get eight points each?"


    "This ¡­" Qing Han didn''t think about this at the moment, and the fact was exactly the same as what Di Chen said. The points obtained from killing Qing Han was more than what it took to keep him alive.


    Qing Han clenched his teeth and said: "Then I''ll give you ten points."


    Di Chen did not have the mood to bargain with him, and said: "Give me your points, I''ll spare your life."


    "What?" Qing Han said angrily: "Di Chen, don''t you go too far, points are like life to the students of our Sky Realm Academy. How am I supposed to buy pills, techniques, and weapons without points, and you actually want all of my points?"


    Di Chen laughed coldly, he did not even bother to talk to him anymore, he had written the word "cut" in the air, and was ready to make his move at any time.


    "I''ll give it, I''ll give it," Qing Han knew that Di Chen was serious so he took out his school badge before he shot out the word "kill".


    Di Chen also handed over his school emblem, but he did not retract the power of the scholar. As long as Qing Han was still hesitating, Di Chen would kill him, and Qing Han stacked the two school emblem together and imbued his points into Di Chen''s school emblem. Di Chen actually saw that he had thirty points, and in a short period of time, Qing Han was actually able to earn so many points.


    Qing Han clenched his teeth and said: "You can let me go now."


    Di Chen stared at Qing Han for a while, then laughed: "If people do not offend me, I will not offend them, but if they violate me, I will repay them multiple times, sorry, I cannot let you go."


    After saying that, he pointed his finger, and the word "cut" that he wrote earlier floated towards Qing Han, and with a chi sound, he cut Qing Han into two pieces.


    "You ¡­" Qing Han looked at Di Chen in disbelief, he never thought that this guy would actually kill him after taking his points. His face revealed a look of hatred, "Di Chen, you will die a horrible death ¡­"


    Before he finished his sentence, he fell face first onto the ground, dead.


    The reason why Di Chen took out this book was so that he could find an excuse to confuse them, but he didn''t expect Qing Han to actually believe it was true, and even reveal his true feelings.


    "Di Chen, what are you doing?" Just then, Bing Tong and Bai Yi walked over and saw what happened.


    Di Chen was not worried in the slightest that the two of them would see him, and said calmly: "This Qing Han previously told me to lure the three Great Rock Lizards away, and in the end he wanted to take the chance to kill me, steal my book, and even heavily injure me. But in the end, he underestimated my strength, and was even killed by me."


    Bing Tong said angrily: "I know Qing Han very well, how can he steal your things; you must be trying to steal his points, right?"


    Qing Han, Bing Tong, and the other four freshmen all had a good relationship with each other. Normally, they would cultivate together, so at this time, Bing Tong would not believe that Qing Han would do such a thing.


    Furthermore, this was the Thousand Monster Mountain, one more person and one more power. The timing and location were not appropriate, so why would Qing Han steal Di Chen''s book here?


    Di Chen did indeed obtain Qing Han''s points, and there was no way for him to argue. He calmly replied: "That''s the case, but I have no way to prove it, and if you don''t believe me, I can''t either."


    Bing Tong looked like he did not care about Di Chen''s words, and almost attacked him out of anger.


    Bai Yi grabbed Bing Tong and said, "This matter has not been clarified, do not act rashly."


    On one hand, he said this because he didn''t know the truth of the matter. On the other hand, they still had to rely on Di Chen to catch the Blacktooth and leave the Thousand Monster Mountain together.


    Bing Tong still did not believe Di Chen, he pointed at his own body and roared: "How do you want to find out? Look at how badly Qing Han died."


    Bai Yi frowned: "Bing Tong, although during this period of time, we have cultivated together with Qing Han, and you know too much about him, I am not talking about it. This Qing Han is indeed a little cunning sometimes."


    Bing Tong was so angry that his body was trembling. He pointed at Di Chen and said, "So you''re saying that you''re planning to stand on the side with him?"


    "This time," Bai Yi nodded his head, then looked at Di Chen and said seriously: "Although I do not believe you, I know that it is possible. But Qing Han is our friend, I hope that you can give us a reasonable explanation when you return.


    Di Chen shrugged his shoulders casually, but he was a little surprised that Bai Yi would actually stand on his side.


    gritted his teeth as he stared at Di Chen. She knew what Bai Yi said was right, they needed Di Chen''s help to kill the Blacktooth, and they also needed Di Chen''s help to go down the mountain.


    The three of them returned to the side of the Heaven Eye Lake, Di Chen handed over the fishy grass to Bing Tong, he did not know how to use the fishy grass to lure the Blacktooth out.


    Bing Tong looked at Di Chen with some anger but did not pay attention to him. He tore off a leaf of the fishy grass, squeezed out the juice from the grass, and dripped it into the water before backing away.


    After a few seconds, some fish could be seen swimming over, swimming back and forth where the sap was dripping. It was as if they were enjoying the scene.


    Bing Tong realized that all of the fish he attracted were ordinary fishes, which meant that the amount of fescue that dripped in was not enough. He tore off three more leaves, rubbed them together and dripped some juice into the water, this time attracting a few large-sized fishes, but these fishes were at most Level 3 or 4 demonic beast s. Bing Tong once again tore off a few more leaves and dripped them into the water, causing the demonic beast that came out to become a little stronger than before, but he still did not see Blacktooth.


    Bai Yi looked at the fish that floated all over the lake surface and said, "This won''t do, Bing Tong, put the two stalks of fishy grass into the lake."


    There were very few Blacktooth s and they generally lived at the bottom of the lake. Furthermore, their sensitivity towards fishy grass was not much compared to other fish, so it was very difficult to attract them.


    Bing Tong said hesitantly: "There are too many fishy grasses, and it will attract a few Demonic King s. I''ll tear a few more leaves to see."


    However, there were many that were so strong that even Di Chen and the other two were not a match for them. Fortunately, they were all water attribute demonic beast, and were unable to go ashore, so they were not a threat to the rest of the group.


    Just at this moment, a huge black fish suddenly came out of the water. This fish was around two meters long, with a big head and small body, and a row of sawteeth in its mouth, it was extremely terrifying.


    Bing Tong said seriously: "As long as this Blacktooth is attacked, he will dive into the water. When that happens, no matter how much fishy grass juice he has, he will not be able to draw it out.


    Bai Yi was confused: "But there are so many demonic beast in the lake, we can''t even get close to the lake, how do we kill them?"


    Blacktooth was hidden right in the middle, making it impossible to kill him. The two of them looked at Di Chen at the same time, as if only his cultivation technique could attract the attention of others.


    Di Chen calmly walked out, but did not dare to get too close to Heaven Eye Lake. He took out a piece of paper with the word "fix" written on it and threw it out, forming a seal with his hand, then an invisible energy rippled outwards. The fish that were swimming around in the lake were immediately frozen, the entire Heaven Eye Lake was like a picture of a hundred fish, where the strong demonic beast would wake up first and dive into the water.


    Di Chen then took the chance to write a "Slash". As the "Slash" sound came out, he sliced Blacktooth into two, and fresh blood immediately sprinkled onto the surface of the water. Blacktooth struggled for a bit, but was unable to move, and his body floated on the water surface.


    Bai Yi was overjoyed. He rushed into the Heaven Eye Lake and dragged the Blacktooth''s corpse out of the lake.


    "We''ve finally completed this mission," Bing Tong''s face was filled with excitement, this mission had been shelved in the academy for a long time, and had not been completed by anyone, even the disciples of A class did not dare to complete it. Now that he had completed the mission himself, it would definitely cause others to sigh in surprise, the key point was that this mission was worth a hundred points.

 C87

    Crash! *


    However, just at this time, a gigantic head jumped out of the water, the head was as big as a window, its eyes were like lanterns, staring fiercely, it was actually a Blacktooth, the Blacktooth spat out three water balls at the three of them.


    "Oh no, s!" The three''s expressions changed as they simultaneously threw punches at the water ball.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Three explosions sounded out and water splashed in all directions. The three of them were simultaneously sent flying. They rolled on the ground a dozen times and fell into a sorry state.


    The corner of her mouth was bleeding, her face was pale white. She looked at the Blacktooth in the Heaven Eye Lake, the distance between them was too far, and the Blacktooth did not have any way to attack them, thus she heaved a sigh of relief: "I never thought that there would be another Blacktooth that could reach the Demonic King realm. Luckily we were further away earlier,, how are you?"


    Bai Yi glanced at his right hand and said: "Your right hand is broken, I''m afraid I won''t be able to unleash my full strength for the rest of the journey, how are you?"


    Bing Tong gasped for breath, "He suffered from internal injuries and probably won''t be able to unleash his strength. This is bad."


    The few of them were still at Thousand Monster Mountain, and would encounter many demonic beast on their way down the mountain. With their current situation, they might be able to swallow any one of the three Level 9 demonic beast.


    "Di Chen, how are you?" Bai Yi could only place his hopes on Di Chen now.


    Di Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and moved his arm, but the moment he moved, he felt a deep pain in his heart, he endured the pain and said: "My arm is also broken, I can''t even punch."


    Saying that was not the case, but in reality, Di Chen''s main arm was still the power of a scholar, as long as one could write, one would have a way to deal with the enemy. This scholar had an advantage over warriors, so once a warrior was injured, he would not be able to use his true strength.


    Bai Yi''s expression changed: "This is it, let''s hurry up and go down the mountain, I hope we won''t encounter too strong demonic beast along the way."


    The three of them did not dare to stay any longer. They immediately headed down the mountain. They did not plan on looking for a place to recover their elemental energy, so if they stayed any longer, they would be in even greater danger.


    Di Chen followed Bai Yi, but after walking for a while, Di Zhe suddenly became suspicious: "Bai Yi, this road doesn''t seem to be our way up the mountain right?"


    Bai Yi explained: "We are not going back the way we came from, I know that a road down the mountain will be safer, just follow me."


    Bing Tong was suspicious: "Is it too dangerous to suddenly take a different route? I think it''s safer to go the same way we came."


    Bai Yi did not explain, but insisted: "You guys believe in me."


    Bai Yi''s actions made Bing Tong and Di Chen even more confused. They thought, if he knew of a safer path, why didn''t he bring them along this road previously?


    In reality, it was just as Bai Yi had said. The path he was leading was not dangerous, but what made Di Chen curious was that there were bloodstains on the road, and it was obvious that there were traces of a battle. Furthermore ¡­


    The road was too quiet, making Di Chen remember the man eating flower incident from before.


    Whoosh ¡­


    After walking for 10 or so minutes, a few figures suddenly scuttled out of the forest and landed beside Di Chen, surrounding Di Chen. Seeing that the person who came was Di Chen and Huang Ting, they brought a lot of seniors, and they had a rather good relationship with the seniors.


    "It''s all of you," Bing Tong shouted in shock first. He was also a smart Girl and could tell at a glance that something was wrong.


    Di Chen saw through Bai Yi''s intentions with a glance. "What else could happen? This Bai Yi must have lured me here on purpose, to let Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan kill me here."


    Previously, Di Chen had thought that he was the one who leaked the news that he would come to the Thousand Monster Mountain to Huang Ting and the others, but now he realised that Qing Han was only trying to steal his cultivation technique, and the real culprit was Bai Yi. This fellow was truly cunning, Ye Puti suddenly thought that Bing Tong had the intention to kill him after seeing him kill Qing Han, but Bai Yi was on his side.


    In fact, just by thinking about it, he could understand. was needed to hunt the Blacktooth, so how could he make a move?


    Bai Yi replied in a playful manner, "Di Chen, don''t blame me for this. Who told you to offend Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan?


    Di Chen asked curiously: "Could it be that you wanted to help Huang Ting kill me from the start?"


    Bai Yi nodded his head: "That''s right, that''s why I tried my best to persuade Qing Han, Bing Tong and the others to agree to invite you to move out together."


    was also startled when she heard this, she had not agreed when Bai Yi had suggested for her to join them. On one hand, she was not close with Di Chen, and on the other hand, Di Chen had offended too many people, so she did not want to get too close to him. However, Bai Yi had tried his best to persuade her, and only now did she know that Bai Yi''s goal was to give Huang Ting and the rest an opportunity to kill Di Chen.


    Bing Tong said angrily: "Since you''ve pledged your allegiance to them, then why did you still go on a mission with us? Why don''t you look for these seniors instead?"


    Bai Yi said in a relaxed manner: "It''s hard to explain in one sentence, but now we have finally completed the mission of the Blacktooth. Although it''s a pity that Qing Han and Yu Life and Death are gone, their deaths are still worth it."


    Death at the right place? If they die, the points will belong to you.


    Hearing Bai Yi''s tone, it was obvious that he did not care about Qing Han''s life or death. He only wanted to complete this mission.


    Huang Ting said: "Bai Yi, you have done well. I guarantee that in the future, no one in the Sky Realm Academy will disturb you from now on.


    Bing Tong suddenly realised something, and his face changed: "What do you guys mean by that?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "What''s the point of this, he wants to kill both of us. This way, Bai Yi can obtain these 100 points by himself, the weight of this gratitude is not low at all."


    Bai Yi laughed, neither admitting nor denying.


    "What?" Bing Tong looked at Bai Yi in disbelief. It was one thing for this fellow to cooperate with Huang Ting and the others, but he actually wanted to kill him?


    She turned her head to look at her surroundings. There were over ten people here, and the weakest among them was at the eighth level of Life Seizing. How could she possibly fight against so many people?


    Di Chen shook his head slightly, his gaze still calm as he looked at Huang Ting and said: "Although you stole Huang Zhan''s martial soul, the martial soul that you stole was after all not a fusion beast you were able to display the power of this martial soul, you couldn''t defeat me earlier, do you think you can defeat me now?"


    Huang Ting was stunned at first, but after that he narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do you know that I stole Huang Zhan''s martial soul?"


    Hearing that, the others were stunned, they all looked at Huang Ting, this guy actually stole their little brother''s martial soul?


    Everyone knew that Huang Ting would definitely think of a way to steal someone else''s martial soul in order to recover his strength, but they never thought that he would actually cripple their little brother.


    Di Chen laughed and did not speak, but Huang Ting quickly thought of someone, "Huang Zhan must have told you this. This thing that eats everything inside out, it actually sold me out."


    Di Chen shook his head speechlessly, thinking to himself, you actually dared to say that he betrayed you after crippling your own brother?


    Di Chen''s gaze fell on Yu Xiuyuan again, and laughed: "I didn''t expect you to come again, looks like you really aren''t willing to kill me."


    Yu Xiuyuan squinted: "Last time, not killing you was our fault, but this time I came to make up for it. Di Chen, you really shouldn''t have killed Murong Yue."


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "You think you can kill me with your numbers?"


    "What an arrogant guy. Not to mention you''re injured, even if you weren''t injured, so many of us can still easily kill you. I really want to see how strong you are."


    If it was before, he definitely wouldn''t have dared to be the first to attack Di Chen, but he realized that his other hand had been broken, so he basically didn''t place Di Chen in his eyes.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen bellowed, the man suddenly stopped, his body seemed to be grabbed by a big hand, he could not move, following that, Di Chen wrote the word "Slash", flying towards the man, with a chi sound he sliced the man into two, the entire process happened in a second.


    Everyone thought that Di Chen would be able to kill him easily if he was injured, but it seems like the situation was not as everyone had imagined. Even though Di Chen was injured, he was still very powerful, and his movements did not seem to be affected at all.


    "Let''s kill them both." Huang Ting berated, and everyone immediately surrounded him.


    Bing Tong''s expression changed. She was injured and his spirit energy was scattered. If he couldn''t deal with one person, how could he deal with so many people?


    "Bing Tong, hide behind me," At this moment, Di Chen suddenly pulled her behind him.


    was startled, she had wanted to attack Di Chen earlier on because of him, but she did not expect that Di Chen would actually help her.


    Di Chen took out a dozen or so pieces of paper with the word "Break" written on it and threw them out. This was something that Di Chen had prepared long ago.


    The paper floated towards the crowd. Di Chen shouted out a few words consecutively, and the words exploded one by one, causing the few people to be blown into bloody pieces. One must know that there were not many people who could resist the formula, but those with a higher realm could.


    Everyone used their martial soul s to attack Di Chen. There were different kinds of martial soul s, there were artifact martial soul s, beast martial soul s and all of them used their strongest skills, but these people were still unable to approach Di Chen. His strength to break and cut through two formula s was too strong, but Di Chen being able to kill them all was a little difficult, so even though he had killed a few, he could obviously not hold on much longer.


    Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan did not do anything but watched on playfully. From the looks of the current situation, they did not need the two of them to do anything.

 C88

    Although Di Chen was at a disadvantage, those people could not kill Di Chen right now. Instead, they were killed quite a few times by Di Chen and suffered serious injuries.


    "This Di Chen is injured and still has such strength, looks like I have underestimated him, just nice, let me test the might of this Sword Martial Spirit."


    Huang Ting took a step towards Di Chen, tapped on the center of his brows, and a sharp sword flew towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen had seen this martial soul before, and it was exactly the same as Huang Zhan. He immediately wrote a "Slash" character to welcome the Sword Martial Spirit, and with a chi sound, the "Slash" character was instantly dissipated, and Huang Ting''s Sword Martial Spirit was also pushed back, similarly injuring himself.


    "En, his strength seems to be a bit stronger than before," Huang Ting was secretly surprised, the that Di Chen had unleashed this time was even stronger than before, which meant that his cultivation had probably risen, but how did this fellow''s cultivation increase so quickly, and how could Huang Ting not see through Di Chen''s realm, after all, Di Chen''s every move did not have any spirit energy fluctuations.


    "I don''t believe that I can''t kill you," Huang Ting said as he struck his palm towards Di Chen again. His arm was like a blade, this was the high-grade Profound Rank cultivation technique, Wind Roar Slash, that Huang Zhan had obtained back in the Eternal Gate.


    Di Chen had seen Huang Zhan execute this technique, the power that Huang Ting had displayed had obviously increased by a few levels, he did not dare to be careless, and used his finger to write the word "Broken" in the air to welcome Huang Ting.


    Puff!


    Huang Ting struck the word "Break" with his palm, the word "Break" turned into starlight and disappeared, while Huang Ting was flipped over, his entire arm exploded into pieces, and fresh blood flowed out.


    "Damn it," Huang Ting said as his face paled from the pain. His arm had been broken by Di Chen before, but he spent five hundred points on a pill to recover his arm later on.


    "Yu Xiuyuan," Huang Ting endured the pain and shouted, "Why haven''t you made your move yet?"


    Yu Xiuyuan had originally thought that Huang Ting could kill him, but he did not expect that he would instead be severely injured by Di Chen. He raised his eyebrows, and his body swayed forward with a speed as fast as wind.


    "This Yu Xiuyuan is indeed stronger than him," Di Chen wrote the word "broken" as he charged towards Yu Xiuyuan.


    At the same time, Yu Xiuyuan''s fist landed on the word "Break", the word "Break" scattered and Yu Xiuyuan was forced to retreat. However, he was not injured like Huang Ting.


    "You really have some strength. Looks like I won''t be able to kill you without using the martial soul." Yu Xiuyuan''s punch just now was a test of Di Chen''s strength, but the result was beyond his expectations. He did not dare be careless, and with two of his fingers pressing on the center of his eyebrows, a foot long sledgehammer rushed out from between his eyebrows and fiercely smashed towards Di Chen.


    "Not good, quickly retreat," the crowd shouted when they saw Yu Xiuyuan''s martial soul retreating. This martial soul was extremely powerful, if they got too close, they would definitely be affected.


    Bing Tong also retreated, and reminded them: "Di Chen, do not recklessly fight it out, his martial soul''s destructive power is too strong, not many Lifestealer Realm can withstand it."


    However, Di Chen was injured, and he was not as strong as the other warriors, he could not dodge at all. However, he did not have any intention of dodging, and quickly wrote the word "spear" in the air with his finger. The "spear" slowly extended, transforming into a long spear that shot towards the hammer.


    Bang!


    The spear and hammer clashed, the powerful force rippling outwards, causing the entire space to tremble, the spear to collapse, the hammer to fly out, both Di Chen and Yu Xiuyuan were forced to retreat a few steps at the same time, while the warriors who were hit by the impact were flipped over on the ground, spitting out blood.


    "This guy can actually block my martial soul?" The martial soul was his most powerful move, but Yu Xiuyuan had never thought that he could actually block it.


    "Just what realm is he in?" Huang Ting asked as he looked at Di Chen in disbelief. Since this guy was able to fight to the death with Yu Xiuyuan, he must be at the ninth stage of the life seizing realm.


    But why was there such a huge difference between him and someone who was also at the ninth level of Life Seizing?


    Bai Yi and Bing Tong also looked at Di Chen in shock.


    Yu Xiuyuan didn''t dare to fight Di Chen one-on-one again. He looked at the others and said: "This guy is too dangerous. Let''s attack him together."


    Everyone rushed at Di Chen, the martial soul s attacked together, Di Chen continuously used his Broken Profound Beast and Spear Arts to kill a few more people, but he had used up most of his scholars'' strength and was heavily injured by them, while Bing Tong was in an even more sorry state, and was about to lose his life at any moment.


    "This Di Chen is so strong," Bai Yi tapped the center of his brows, and a Heart Eating Bug flew out. The sky full of Heart Eating Insects flew towards Di Chen.


    "Crap," Di Chen knew that these Heart Eating Insects were the hardest to deal with, he immediately wrote a few words that caused the Heart Eating Insects to explode into pieces. However, there were too many Heart Eating Insects and there were still a large number of Heart Eating Insects that rushed towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen knew that if he continued fighting, he would definitely die, he quickly wrote a few more words, and all the warriors were stunned, but it was not going to last long, so Di Chen quickly pulled Bing Tong and ran.


    "We can''t let him escape." Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan who were at the ninth stage of Life Seizing were the first to regain their mobility. They immediately chased after Di Chen.


    Di Chen threw out pieces of paper with the word "certain" on them. Those people who passed by would all be frozen for a moment, and then give Di Chen and Bing Tong more time to escape.


    "Dammit, I never thought that so many of us would still be killed by him," Huang Ting could only watch as Di Chen left as he angrily punched a tree.


    Bai Yi looked in Di Chen''s direction and said: "There are many demonic beast on this road, he won''t be able to escape for long, let''s continue to chase."


    Everyone could see that Di Chen was probably unable to release his formula, which was why he was in such a hurry to escape, and he was different from normal warriors, he had weaker physiques and was not far away from Thousand Monster Mountain.


    "Wait," Yu Xiuyuan looked at the crowd and said, "How many people died?"


    Huang Ting counted through the people. "Six died, seven more, of which four are at the eighth stage and three are at the ninth stage, but most of their spirit energy was used up, so they have to find a place to recover their spirit energy."


    "This guy ¡­" Yu Xiuyuan really did not think that their losses would be so severe, with thirteen warriors attacking two of them together, they actually allowed them to escape, if they had recovered their spirit energy, it would be even more impossible to kill them, but their spirit energy was dissipating, and since they were injured, they could not casually walk around the Thousand Monster Mountain, so they immediately found a place to recover their spirit energy.


    Di Chen brought Bing Tong and ran for around half an hour, but stopped when he saw Huang Ting and the rest were not chasing after them.


    "I''m safe for the time being," Di Chen gasped for breath, the power of his scholar had already been exhausted, the paper he had prepared earlier had been used up, allowing him to finally keep his life, but he was very clear that if he met a demonic beast, he would most likely die.


    "Di Chen, thank you," Bing Tong suddenly said.


    Di Chen did not expect him to be grateful to his, and said in a daze: "Why are you thanking me?"


    Bing Tong said somewhat embarrassedly: "Earlier, when you killed Qing Han, I wanted to kill you, but you almost got killed just now and saved me."


    Di Chen said indifferently: "It''s nothing. Although Qing Han wanted to kill me first, he still died in my hands in the end. It''s normal for you to want to kill me.


    This was actually the truth. Di Chen had always had his own revenge and grudges, but he actually didn''t have any deep grudges with Bing Tong, and the two of them worked together quite happily before Di Chen killed Qing Han. However, if it was someone else, then they would not have saved Bing Tong.


    Bing Tong suddenly had a much better impression of Lang Chen. Looking around, he said, "Then what should we do now, we don''t even know where we went.


    This time she treated Di Chen as her backbone.


    Di Chen frowned, he looked around and said: "Do you feel that this place is very familiar, it seems like we have been here before."


    Bing Tong was startled: "Hearing you say that, it does sound like it, this place ¡­"


    She wandered around, trying her best to recall when she came here. Her face quickly changed: "Isn''t this the black ringed snake''s territory?"


    Di Chen suddenly remembered that when he was walking up the mountain, he saw a Demonic King. At that time, the black ringed snake had just eaten so he didn''t attack Di Chen.


    "Not good, let''s go," Di Chen pulled Bing Tong''s hand and immediately ran, he had a faint feeling of unease.


    Hiss!


    Just then, a huge head drooped down from the tree, it was not even a meter away from Di Chen, it flicked its tongue, and the tongue of the snake licked Di Chen''s cheek, and bit down.


    "Di Chen..." Bing Tong shouted in shock: "Run!"


    When Di Chen saw the big mouth that was going to bite him, he did not react at all. He just stood there in a daze.


    However, at this time, a white shadow suddenly scuttled out from the forest and bit onto the body of the black ringed snake, it was a 20 foot tall bloodhound, the black ringed snake cried out miserably after being bitten, immediately twisting its body around the bloodhound, the two fought and bit each other, causing the opponent''s flesh to be torn apart, with fresh blood flowing out.


    Because Di Chen was too afraid, his mind was still in shock and he did not even know how to retreat for a moment.


    Bing Tong quickly pulled Di Chen back, and said in shock: "Are you alright?"


    Di Chen said fearfully, "I''m fine, is this a Demonic King level bloodhound? Why did it save me?"


    Bing Tong shook his head: "I don''t know either, but looking at the situation, it seems like the bloodhound is no match for the black ringed snake, if this goes on, I''m afraid it will be swallowed by the black ringed snake instead."


    The two of them quickly saw that the bloodhound was entangled by the black ringed snake and was about to swallow the bloodhound. Di Chen immediately wrote a "Slash" and floated towards the black ringed snake, the black ringed snake''s neck slightly tilted and this "Slash" may not be too harmful to the black ringed snake, but it at least stopped it slightly. The bloodhound immediately struggled free from the black ringed snake, picked up Di Chen and threw him into its mouth, then disappeared into the forest.

 C89

    Di Chen and Bing Tong climbed down from the bloodhound''s body. Di Chen looked at the bloodhound doubtfully: "Why did you save us?"


    The bloodhound shook its head, then looked towards Bing Tong. Di Chen understood what it meant.


    Bing Tong asked doubtfully: "Earlier, we killed quite a few bloodhound, so why did you save me?"


    The bloodhound let out a cry, then got up and walked in a certain direction, with Bing Tong and Di Chen following it.


    The two of them looked at each other, hesitated for a while, then followed the bloodhound and left. After a few minutes, they arrived at a cave not far away.


    When he entered the cave, he saw a young bloodhound. This bloodhound had a full body of white fur, and it lay on the ground like a ball of hair.


    The bloodhound walked over, laid down beside the infant bloodhound, and licked its fur.


    Bing Tong was startled. He could not understand, bloodhound were very protective and would normally not allow other demonic beast or humans to get close to them. But this bloodhound actually brought him here?


    The bloodhound called out to Bing Tong again!


    Bing Tong immediately came to an understanding as he looked at Di Chen in shock and said, "This bloodhound won''t be able to live for long, it wants to entrust this cub to me."


    "What?" Di Chen said in surprise: "You are a human, and demonic beast''s hostility towards humans are the deepest. Why would it want to entrust this cub to you?"


    Humans hunted demonic beast, so most demonic beast would attack when they saw humans. This was the first time seeing a bloodhound actually want to entrust its young to humans.


    Bing Tong shook his head: "I don''t know either, but the bloodhound still hasn''t grown. If the female wolf dies, I''m afraid that the young cub will be devoured by the other demonic beast very soon.


    It knew that entrusting this cub to a human would be much better than letting it live on its own. Di Chen suddenly thought about the strong demonic aura that followed him from before, could it be that it was this bloodhound?


    Di Chen was a little envious: "This bloodhound will have the chance to evolve in the future. Many people want to tame it, I never thought that you would actually get a cub."


    Many warriors would go up the mountain and capture some demonic beast as their own spirit beast, but demonic beast were fierce, they would not be willing to become a human spirit beast. Unless you raise a demonic beast from a young age, and spend a lot of time together, the demonic beast would become dependent on you.


    Bing Tong''s face was also filled with joy. She suddenly noticed that the big bloodhound was bitten and bleeding, so he said: "Di Chen, let''s find the medicine to heal it."


    Di Chen nodded his head, the Thousand Monster Mountain had a lot of herbs, when he was with Qin Suer previously, he knew some of the medicines to treat wounds.


    The two of them went out to gather some herbs, and after an hour, they returned. Bing Tong grinded the herbs, and then pasted some medicinal dregs on the bloodhound''s wounds.


    "Alright," Bing Tong busied himself for more than ten minutes before he finally stopped bleeding.


    Di Chen saw that it was already dark outside and that all the demonic beast would appear after it got dark, making it extremely dangerous. Although there was one Demonic King here, it was hard to avoid other Demonic King coming here, so at that time, both of them would definitely die.


    "It''s fine, I have a way," Bing Tong took out the flesh of the man eating flower and crushed it, sprinkling the blood on the ground, at the same time, the cave was filled with the aura of the man eating flower, which concealed the two people''s Qi and the Spirit Demon Qi of the bloodhound, it could be said that the man eating flower was the natural enemy of the demonic beast, which prevented other demonic beast from finding it.


    Seeing this, Di Chen was finally relieved. He sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a medicinal pellet to heal his injuries, and then took out a book to read.


    Bing Tong had a strange look on his face as he said, "Di Chen, why aren''t you seizing the time to recover your spirit energy? What are you studying for?"


    laughed, but did not explain. Reading to be clear would allow Di Chen to recover his powers as a scholar, and it would also allow him to relax his mind, allowing him to ease the pressure. This benefit was not something a warrior could understand.


    Seeing that Di Chen was not willing to say it, Bing Tong did not question anymore. He took out the pills and started recovering her own spirit force.


    After four hours, Di Chen closed < < < Invisible Fish > >. The logic behind the book was simple, it did not have any hidden meanings, Di Chen had not recovered much of his human power, he then took out a pen and paper and started to copy the book. copying the book could not only help him cultivate, but also help him recover his human power.


    Time quickly passed, and on the second day, Bing Tong woke up from his cultivation, and noticed that Di Chen was copying a book. She walked to Di Chen''s side and copied down an old book that he had never seen before, but he was not interested either.


    Bing Tong originally thought that he could wake up very quickly from his cultivation, but what she did not expect was that Di Chen''s flurry of attacks lasted for two days and two nights, and during that time, he did not stop and did not say a single word, did not drink a single mouthful of water, or eat a single mouthful of food. He seemed to have entered a state of craziness as he tried to wake Di Chen up once, but Di Chen did not pay attention to her, so she could not disturb Di Chen.


    On the third day, Di Chen finally woke up from his stupor. Di Chen stretched his aching body and rubbed his numb shoulders.


    "Finished copying it?" Bing Tong looked at Di Chen suspiciously and said, "This is the first time I''ve seen someone copy so many books and become so engrossed in it."


    Di Chen stretched his back and laughed: "How''s your recovery going?"


    Bing Tong looked at his body and said, "Your injuries and your spirit energy have almost recovered."


    Di Chen exposed the truth: "Then we can go kill Huang Ting and the others."


    Bing Tong was shocked: "You still want to kill them? "They still have seven people. I presume they''ve already recovered their elemental energy. How could we possibly kill them?"


    Di Chen disapproved: "Earlier, the two of us were injured and our spirit energy was routed, which was why we were almost killed by them. With my current strength, if I were to sneak attack them, I would have a seventy percent chance of doing so.


    Di Chen could instantly kill those at the eighth stage of Life Seizing cultivators, but he was only able to kill a few ninth stage Life Seizing cultivators. Although his chance of fighting them head on was not high, he was confident in ambushing Di Chen.


    Bing Tong still shook his head, she did not have confidence in himself, since this was too dangerous, but Di Chen was fine with it, even if Bing Tong did not go, he would definitely go.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly realized that the bloodhound was gone, leaving behind only its young. He asked curiously: "Where did the bloodhound go?"


    Bing Tong shook his head: "I went out yesterday, and I still haven''t returned yet. I don''t know where I went."


    Just then, a burst of Spirit Demon Qi came out, Di Chen looked outside the cave cautiously, it was actually the bloodhound, it was covered in blood, it looked to be in a sorry state, with a black ringed snake in its mouth, it threw the black ringed snake on the ground, then fell head first onto the ground, releasing a painful cry.


    The bloodhound cub ran to the side of the bloodhound king and cried out twice, licking its wound. It seemed to be very sad, and the bloodhound king also licked the cub in pity.


    "It went to hunt this black ringed snake?" Di Chen noticed that the black ringed snake was the exact one that had attacked him earlier. He did not expect to be killed by the bloodhound King.


    Bing Tong saw that the bloodhound was covered in wounds, and immediately took out some herbs to help him stop the bleeding.


    The bloodhound King cried out, signalling Bing Tong not to waste his time, then used his claws to cut open the black ringed snake''s corpse, dug out a beast core and pushed it in front of the bloodhound cub. The cub swallowed the beast core and as if it was very tired, it immediately fell asleep.


    This was also because this black ringed snake was a Demonic King. Its demonic core was too dense, and this bloodhound was still too young, so it would need a period of time to absorb it.


    The bloodhound King called out to Bing Tong again.


    Bing Tong was startled, he picked up the baby and said: "Don''t worry, I will take good care of it."


    The bloodhound was relieved when it heard this. It lied on the ground, and its expression became listless. Its eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally closed, completely lifeless.


    "It died," Bing Tong sighed, feeling a little sad. In this period of time, the bloodhound King had persisted on living, but he did not expect that it would still be unable to escape death.


    Di Chen also let out a long sigh. Before the bloodhound King died, he had also entrusted its young to Bing Tong.


    In fact, Demonic King''s corpse was very precious, it could at least be exchanged with 10 points. But Bing Tong still had some feelings towards the Red-eyed Wolf King, and couldn''t bear to use its corpse to cultivate.


    "Buried it," Bing Tong said, "Take the black ringed snake King''s corpse."


    After all, it had saved his life. Di Chen dug a deep pit in the cave and then threw the bloodhound King''s body inside.


    This snake skin was very valuable, and he then split the snake meat into several pieces. He thought that with his current strength, it would be dangerous for him to deal with Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan, so if he could break through to the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Stage, he would have a 100% chance of killing them.


    Thinking like this, Di Chen immediately grabbed onto a piece of flesh and started to absorb it. black ringed snake was a Snake King after all, so when Di Chen became stronger by an entire realm, it would absorb very slowly.


    "Hmm?" Bing Tong saw that Di Chen had grabbed onto a piece of dried up flesh, and that the essence was being absorbed by Di Chen. He was shocked, thinking to himself, what kind of cultivation technique is this, for him to need to absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood s like this?


    Bing Tong could only watch from the side. He noticed that although Di Chen''s spirit energy did not fluctuate, it was increasing in strength, giving people a strong pressure. This meant that''s strength was increasing, and now Bing Tong finally knew how he trained.


    Absorbing Demonic beast flesh and blood to improve his cultivation, no wonder he cultivated so quickly, was there still such a strange cultivation technique in this world?

 C90

    An hour later, Di Chen finally absorbed a small portion of the black ringed snake King''s flesh and blood. Only then did he open his eyes, spread out his hands and felt the enormous energy in his body.


    Bing Tong asked doubtfully: "Di Chen, has your realm increased again? What realm are you in exactly?"


    Di Chen did not hide anything and laughed: "With his strength at the ninth level of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm, if I meet Huang Ting again, I can easily kill him."


    Similarly, Huang Ting could simply be killed with his fists, but he would still need to use his "spear" formula s to meet Yu Xiuyuan. After all, Yu Xiuyuan''s martial soul s were too strong, and Di Chen''s realm as a warrior only relied on the power of his fists, not his techniques.


    Bing Tong had a strange look on his face as he asked, "Di Chen, why is there no trace of spirit energy in your body when you are cultivating, how exactly do you cultivate?"


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "There is a Pearl of Life in my body, this thing can absorb the Demonic beast flesh and blood and turn it into my power, this is how I cultivate, as for why there are no spirit energy undulations, you will know."


    "Pearl of Life?" Bing Tong frowned as he thought about it. She had never heard of such a thing, but she was actually a little envious, other people needed to cultivate step by step, and even if they worked hard for a few months, they might not even be able to break through a small realm. However, Di Chen only needed to absorb a Demonic beast flesh and blood to easily break through a realm.


    Although Di Chen''s strength increased very quickly, in reality, he did not have any talent in terms of martial skills, he could not even learn a single cultivation technique. If not for the Pearl of Life, Di Chen would not have been able to have such strength.


    Bing Tong was suddenly enlightened: "No wonder you kept all the demonic beast bodies you hunted before, this Thousand Monster Mountain is a treasure everywhere for you."


    In truth, the Pearl of Life was not perfect either. Currently, Di Chen''s realm was low, so absorbing the Demonic beast flesh and blood would be enough to raise his strength, but when Di Chen''s realm got higher, the number of Demonic beast flesh and blood he would absorb would increase. At that time, the warrior realm would not be so easy to break through.


    "Let''s go," we will go kill Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan. These two fellows want to kill me, so I can''t let them go.


    If it was before, Bing Tong would not agree, but he would not object now, the two of them immediately left the cave, but the Thousand Monster Mountain was very big, and they did not know where Huang Ting and the rest were at the moment. Di Chen and Bing Tong had been searching for a while, but they did not find any trace of them, so continuing to search in the mountain would only be dangerous, and if they met any Demonic King, they would definitely die.


    Bing Tong asked: "Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan will not give up on killing you. I wonder where they are right now."


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "These people will not stay in the mountain for long, I think they will definitely wait at the bottom of the mountain.


    Bing Tong thought that this was good as well. He would let Di Chen and the others kill him if they met him, and if they did not, they would be able to safely return to the Sky Realm Academy.


    Just as Di Chen had said, Huang Ting and the rest had indeed been searching in the Thousand Monster Mountain for a long time, but they did not have any leads on Di Chen, so they did not dare to stay too long, and waited at the foot of the mountain.


    This was the only path down the mountain. It was impossible for Di Chen to descend from a mountain from any other dangerous place;


    Huang Ting frowned and said: "It has already been three days, A Xiang said that Di Chen did not return to the Academy, he should still be in Thousand Monster Mountain. This guy is really bold, he actually dared to stay in the mountain for so long, could it be that he is planning to hide in the mountain all this time?"


    Yu Xiuyuan analyzed: "This Di Chen isn''t an idiot, he definitely knows that we are waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. It''s normal for him to not dare to go down the mountain, but he can''t possibly continue to hide in Thousand Monster Mountain.


    Bai Yi laughed: "Earlier, Di Chen was severely injured, I think this guy was eaten by the demonic beast."


    Huang Ting said: "It''s possible, but this Di Chen is very cunning, plus, Bing Tong is very familiar with the habits of demonic beast, it''s not difficult for them to avoid the demonic beast, we''ll wait for three more days, if they still don''t come down in three days, we''ll leave."


    In order to kill Di Chen, he had already wasted too much time. If he was unable to kill now, Huang Ting would stay behind as well, because after a period of time, the Sky Realm Academy''s ranking battle would begin. This ranking battle was extremely important, and he would not miss it.


    After waiting for another day, everyone saw Di Chen and Bing Tong heading down the mountain. It seemed that the two of them had recovered, but what surprised them was that Di Chen and Bing Tong did not come down the mountain quietly, rather they came down openly from the mountain.


    Yu Xiuyuan frowned, why does this Di Chen look like he has complete confidence in himself?


    Di Chen saw Yu Xiuyuan and Huang Ting from afar, it was exactly as he had imagined, these guys were waiting for him at the bottom of the mountain.


    Huang Ting and the rest immediately surrounded Di Chen, who squinted her eyes and said: "I was still thinking if you would take the risk to go down the mountain from another route, I didn''t think that you would actually swagger down the mountain from another path, you are truly foolish, I didn''t know that I would wait here for you?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I''m not stupid, I feel that you people are not enough to kill me, so there''s no need to sneak down the mountain."


    "So confident?" Yu Xiuyuan taunted, "You can''t possibly be able to fight against seven people just by recovering from your injuries, right?"


    In Yu Xiuyuan''s opinion, the reason why he let Di Chen escape before was because they were too careless. This time, everyone prepared to attack together and decisively gave Di Chen a chance to escape.


    Di Chen looked at Bing Tong and said: "Step back, wait for me to kill them before you leave."


    Bing Tong never thought that Di Chen would actually want to fight against seven people on his own. Four of them were at the eighth stage and three were at the ninth stage, but he knew that since Di Chen dared to do so, he was confident.


    "Let''s go together," this time round, a few people did not dare to be careless. Previously, they had underestimated Di Chen, which was why they suffered a loss.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen threw out a piece of paper, and with a single shout, everyone froze. Di Chen then immediately pounced in front of one person, and with a punch, he smashed into that person''s chest. That person flew over ten meters away, heavily smashing onto a tree, and died on the spot.


    "So powerful," Huang Ting was surprised: "This Di Chen''s strength has increased again, no wonder he dared to swagger down the mountain."


    The strength of this fist strike was obvious to all. Most 9th level Life Seizing Cultivators did not have such strength.


    At this time, the others had also regained their mobility. A ninth stage Life Seizing Cultivator was the first to attack Di Chen, his fists releasing a heavy wind, the moment he punched, he seemed to feel a huge pressure fall on him.


    Di Chen clashed with his fist and with a loud bang, the man cried out miserably, his bones were instantly shattered and a few more people rushed over. Di Chen welcomed them with fist and each of his punch was able to heavily injure a person, they could not even defend against Di Chen''s fist and were beaten to a sorry state, as their bodies were all broken.


    Huang Ting took a step towards Di Chen, his arm turned into a blade and slashed forward, this Huang Ting most likely did not return to Sky Realm Academy, although his injuries had recovered, it was obvious that he was still very weak.


    Di Chen''s handwritten "Break" word met Huang Ting, and he struck the word "Break" with a palm strike. The word "Break" exploded with a bang, and Huang Ting''s entire arm was blown into pieces, as he cried out miserably.


    Huang Ting tapped on the center of his brows again as his Sword Martial Spirit shot out from between his eyebrows to meet Di Chen head on.


    Di Chen wrote another word of "broken", colliding with the Sword Martial Spirit, causing it to immediately explode into pieces. Once again, Di Chen destroyed his martial soul.


    ''s "Slash" formula''s killing power was strong, but "Broken" formula''s destructive power was strong, so how could ordinary people possibly withstand it?


    "Huang Ting, you are not his match. Step back, let me do it," Yu Xiuyuan said as he took a step towards Di Chen, and smashed the sledgehammer in his forehead towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen had already been injured by Yu Xiuyuan''s martial soul before, so he did not dare to be careless.


    Ding! Ding!


    The first word "spear" was instantly destroyed when it collided with the hammer martial soul, it turned into starlight and disappeared, while the hammer soul martial artist was bounced back, but it did not cause much damage, following that, the second word "spear" shot onto the hammer martial soul, causing it to fly back, its luster dimmed, clearly showing that it was damaged in the spirit.


    "Not good," Yu Xiuyuan really did not think that Di Chen''s formula was so powerful, he was afraid that even if he got hit a few more times, his hammer martial soul would still be destroyed, so he quickly retracted his hammer.


    "Once you take it out, don''t even think about taking it back," Di Chen once again wrote a word of "fix", the word transformed into a ripple and dispersed. The hammering martial soul suddenly stopped while flying towards Yu Xiuyuan, and stood still in the air.


    "It can be stopped just like that?" Yu Xiuyuan was shocked, it was fine that this fellow could stop him, but how could he actually freeze a martial soul?


    Di Chen seized the opportunity to write two more words of "spear" on the martial soul, and two explosions sounded out, causing the martial soul to instantly dissipate.


    "No ¡­" Yu Xiuyuan screamed in fear, his hammer martial soul had also been destroyed?


    martial soul s were the most important thing to warriors. Even without martial soul Warriors, their strength would have dropped by a few levels, but now, they were easily destroyed by Di Chen.


    Yu Xiuyuan crazily charged toward Di Chen. He did not even consider the fact that his own martial soul had been destroyed by Di Chen, so how could he possibly be Di Chen''s match?


    Di Chen took a step towards Yu Xiuyuan and punched him. With a creaking sound, Yu Xiuyuan''s sternum was smashed into pieces and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His entire person collapsed onto the ground and died on the spot.


    After breaking through the ninth stage of the Life Snatching Realm, Di Chen''s strength was stronger than many demonic beast s. It would be better if Yu Xiuyuan used his own techniques to fight against Di Chen, but he had actually lost his head and used the brute strength to fight Di Chen head on.


    "He was killed by a single punch?" Everyone else''s faces were filled with shock. Who would dare to stay? One by one, they began to flee into the distance.


    "You still want to run away?" Di Chen took out a few pieces of paper with the word "fix" written on it and threw it out.


    Di Chen wrote a few words of "cut" across to the rest of the people, and instantly cut off all their limbs, and they laid on the ground screaming in pain.

 C91

    The whole battle did not even take two minutes before Di Chen managed to make everyone unable to fight back.


    Bing Tong knew that Di Chen would definitely win, but he never thought that it would be so easy for Di Chen to win, with his current strength, he probably did not have many Lifestealer Realm left to defeat.


    "Di Chen," Bing Tong asked. "Why didn''t you kill them?"


    Di Chen laughed: What''s the use of killing them, it''s not beneficial to me. I am prepared to let them exchange their points for their lives.


    Only then did Bing Tong know Di Chen''s goal, which was also true, because if these people died, their points would be left in the school rules, and they would not be able to use it, which was too much of a waste, so he might as well force them to hand it over.


    "You all heard what I said just now. Everyone will give you all of your points in exchange for your lives. If you all are unwilling, then don''t blame me for being impolite."


    Di Chen''s gaze swept past everyone and then, he walked in front of Huang Ting and said with a smile: "Let''s start with you."


    "You want points?" Huang Ting had originally thought that Di Chen would directly kill him, but he didn''t expect that he actually wanted the points. He immediately let out a breath of relief, since he already had the condition to survive, "Di Chen, I''ll give you thirty points, and these points will be equivalent to three hundred thousand silver in purchasing power outside. It''s not a small amount."


    Di Chen laughed: "You mean to say that your life is already worth thirty points?"


    Huang Ting clenched his teeth, he did not know what to say. On one hand, he was afraid of death, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to give up his points.


    Di Chen looked at each of them and laughed: "The reason why I didn''t kill you guys was because your talents posed no threat to me, and it doesn''t matter if you guys still want to find me for revenge in the future, so I would rather have points than your lives, but to you, points seem to be more important than life, since that''s the case, I will help you guys, take your points and go to hell."


    As he said this, he wrote the word "chop". If anyone did not take out their points, he would kill that person on the spot.


    An eighth stage Life Seizing Cultivator was the first to become afraid. He immediately took out his school badge and gave all of his points to Di Chen.


    "Only fifteen?" Di Chen knew that this was already all of his points, and said: "Go, this time I''ll let you go, but if you want to kill me next time, don''t blame me for not showing mercy."


    The man was so scared that he crawled and tumbled away. Di Chen did not even look at him, instead, he looked at Huang Ting: "Where are your points?"


    Huang Ting clenched his teeth: "I will give you 40 points, please let me go, after all, that person also gave you 15 points."


    Di Chen said seriously: "What I want is all of your points, no matter how many you have, there is no room for negotiation."


    "This is unfair ¡­" Huang Ting still wanted to say.


    "Huang Ting," Di Chen berated. "You''re the one who came to kill me first, so you should know the price.


    Huang Ting originally wanted to say something, but when he saw that Di Chen seemed to already have the idea to kill him, he still took out the school badge in the end and handed all the points over to Di Chen.


    Di Chen did not even look at him and walked to the next person. Huang Ting glanced at Di Chen with hatred in his eyes, gritted his teeth and left. That person just spent 15 points to save his life, but he himself spent 60 points?!


    It''s really not easy for a person with Lifestealer Realm to earn 60 points.


    Di Chen walked in front of Bai Yi. Compared to Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan, he hated him even more. Earlier, Di Zhe had helped him kill bloodhound and Blacktooth, but this person actually betrayed him?


    Bai Yi gnashed his teeth as he looked at Di Chen. He still took out the school emblem, and handed all of his points over to Di Chen. ))


    "Also, Blacktooth''s corpse," Di Chen remembered that Bai Yi kept Blacktooth''s corpse.


    Bai Yi was still hoping that Di Chen had forgotten about this matter, he took out the Blacktooth and said, "I can leave now, right?"


    Di Chen kept the things he said, and laughed: "You knew that Qing Han also wanted to kill me, but in the end, when I said you would give me the points, I let you go, but in the end, I still killed him."


    "You ¡­" Bai Yi''s face changed when he heard this. He originally thought that Di Chen would let him go, but this guy still wanted to kill him?


    Bai Yi turned and ran. With a tap of his hand, the word "cut" directly slashed across Bai Yi''s body. With a chi sound, it cut Bai Yi into two pieces and he fell into a pool of blood.


    "What?" The others had also noticed this scene. Their initial departure speed was not fast, but after seeing that Di Chen actually killed Bai Yi, they immediately quickened their pace.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen bellowed, every word he shouted caused everyone to pause in their movements, and then, one by one, Di Chen flew towards the group and killed them all.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen realized that Huang Ting was running a bit far, it seemed that he was also afraid that he would go overboard, so he immediately wrote the word "spear" towards Huang Ting.


    Huang Ting only saw a spear shooting at him from the sky. He knew he could not dodge it, and shouted in fear: "Di Chen, you have my points, you cannot kill me."


    "Whiz!"


    The pike fell from the sky and directly stabbed into Huang Ting''s chest. Huang Ting let out a blood-curdling screech, and directly collapsed onto the ground, lying in a pool of blood.


    Bing Tong walked over and sighed: "I thought you would let them go."


    Di Chen said calmly: "I stole their points, I let them go, but will they let me go?"


    Bing Tong said helplessly: "These people are determined to kill you, it''s fine if you kill them, but this time you''ve killed too many people, many of them are geniuses from Class B, and some of them even have A class, if the Principal finds out about this, I''m afraid he will punish you."


    Di Chen scratched his head and said in distress: "This is troublesome, these people must have come to kill me and other people know of it. Now that I have returned, but Huang Ting, Yu Xiuyuan and the others did not return, I think they can guess that it was me."


    Bing Tong thought for a while and replied, "Thousand Monster Mountain was always in danger. When the time comes, just say that you did not meet them.


    Di Chen thought that that was true. Furthermore, these people had wanted to kill him first, so he could only blame them for being weak. It was likely that the Principal did not say anything.


    A few hours later, the two of them returned back to the Academy, their return attracted some people''s attention. Earlier, there was news saying that Di Chen had gone to the Thousand Monster Mountain to complete a mission, and Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan had also agreed to go together, everyone knew their goal. But now that Di Chen had returned, and Yu Xiuyuan and Yu Xiuyuan had not, it was hard to not think that something would happen to them.


    Di Chen did not pay attention to the discussions of the others. He went to the Mission Pavilion, handed in the Blacktooth''s mission, and got 50 points for one person.


    This Blacktooth''s mission hung in the air for a long time, and had not been carried out by anyone since then. Seeing that Bing Tong and his partner had completed the mission, the crowd was still able to stir up a huge stir, after all, this was a mission that not even the previous A class students were able to complete.


    "It''s finally over," Bing Tong heaved a sigh of relief, in this period of time, we had met with many dangers in the Thousand Monster Mountain, thinking about it made his slightly afraid, she looked at Di Chen and said: "In the future, if there are any difficult missions, we can move out together."


    "Alright." Di Chen laughed, he said that with his mouth, but in his heart, Di Chen no longer planned to carry out missions with him.


    Bing Tong did not think much, and bid his farewells to Di Chen, who then noticed that Bing Tong''s body was actually emitting a light black light.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen was startled. Earlier, he clearly saw that Bing Tong had an ink-black halo, which meant that she would suffer a miserable fate in the future. But now, her fate had changed?


    "Fate can be changed?" Di Chen had thought that he had seen wrongly, and he looked again. Bing Tong was indeed emitting a light black light, his fate was truly different.


    Di Chen was overjoyed, and immediately took out a bronze mirror to look at himself. He discovered that his light halo had turned darker, which meant that his fate in the future would be even worse than before.


    Di Chen secretly cursed, Bing Tong''s fate had gone smoothly, but his own fate had actually become even more miserable. To be travelling to a Thousand Monster Mountain as well, wasn''t the difference a little too huge?


    However, since fate could change for Di Chen, it was also a good thing.


    Di Chen left the Mission Pavilion and returned to the medicinal garden. In the courtyard, there was only Qin Suer watering the flowers and plants.


    "Di Chen." When Qin Suer saw Di Chen, she immediately rushed over, and said happily: "You''re finally back! You''ve been gone for a few days, I''m worried to death."


    Di Chen laughed: "What can I do? Oh right, where is Teacher Yang."


    Qin Suer said: She has been training in her room all this time, what business do you have with her?


    Di Chen shook his head: "It''s not a big deal, I''ll go look for her after she has finished cultivating."


    Killing Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan probably could not hide this matter from the Principal. Di Chen still wanted to discuss this with Yang Mengqi and have her come up with an idea.


    Qin Suer asked: "Oh right, Huang Zhan previously said that Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan would go to the Thousand Monster Mountain to kill you.


    Di Chen nodded his head: "I did, they brought a lot of people, but they were killed by me, so please do not spread this to the outside, although this is the Thousand Monster Mountain, but this time they have killed too many people, and many of them are important figures that the academy has nurtured, so it is not good to let the academy know."


    But Yu Xiuyuan was a genius of the A class. It was said that the instructors of the A class thought highly of Yu Xiuyuan, but now that he was killed by Di Chen, the consequences would be dire if he knew about this.


    Qin Suer nodded twice, of course she wouldn''t tell others.


    Di Chen chatted with Qin Suer for a while, then took out some medicinal herbs and gave them to Qin Suer. He had found these previously in the mountains, then went back to his room and continued to water the flowers and plants.


    At the corner of the courtyard, Yuan Tong was currently staring at Di Chen''s room. Previously, when he saw that Di Chen had returned alive, he was still a little unhappy, but after hearing the conversation between the two, he revealed a happy smile and prepared to leave. However, after walking a few steps, he looked at Yang Mengqi''s room, he knew that Yang Mengqi''s training seemed to require Di Chen to treat her.

 C92

    Di Chen returned to his room and took out the school emblem. The points he had snatched from Huang Ting earlier, in addition to the points obtained from this mission, amounted to 300 points, which was quite a number. If it was anyone else, they would need at least a few years to earn this amount, but this was far too little for Di Chen.


    Di Chen thought to himself that he should go to the Missions Pavilion to see if there were any missions with high marks. If there really was no other way, he could think of a way to receive Martial King level missions.


    However, if there were no Lifestealer Realm warriors who would complete a Martial King level mission, then that would be pure suicide.


    "Now that I have broken through to the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm, I am still in the eighth stage of the scholar realm. I have to increase my cultivation level by a small realm as soon as possible."


    Di Chen was very clear that only when his or his martial artists and scholars reached the ninth stage would they be able to emerge victorious in the ranking battle. After all, those geniuses in A class were not something Class B could compare to.


    After taking out the school emblem, Di Chen took out the¡¶ The Origin of All Laws¡· that he had obtained from the Eternal Gate. Previously, Di Chen had read the first¡¶ Way of Survival¡·, but this article had immediately allowed Di Chen to break through a few realms. Today, Di Chen was preparing to read the second¡¶ Human Way¡·.


    "Humans are born under the heavens, they must obey the will of the heavens ¡­" Di Chen carefully savored the contents of the first book, this¡¶ Human Way¡· required people to obey the orders of the heavens, they would listen to the commands of the heavens and follow the rules of the human race. Di Chen read and read frequently, this article required people to control the heavens, which was similar to the majority of the scholars in Mount Yu, however, Di Chen did not share the same views as the scholars, he casually read once and threw the book to the side, thinking that this book did not have any logic, it was simply brainwashing.


    He who obeys the will of the heavens, is not a slave of the heavens.


    "Just who wrote this book to turn the heavens into a god and treat people as servants?"


    The main purpose of this book is that the source of all magic is the sky, the sky is the beginning of all things, the author of the book exhorts people to respect, fear the heavens, can not go against the heavens.


    "What is this sky?" Di Chen thought that the person who wrote the book had turned the sky into a god, and was chasing after him. Although the book was the source of the scholar''s power, he could not believe everything that was said in it, or else he would be drawing out the power of evil, and he did not know what the person who wrote the book''s goal was.


    After putting away the ? Origin of All Techniques ?, Di Chen started copying again. After two days, Di Chen stopped copying, he realized that the power of the scholars in his body had increased, but it was slow, seems like copying books alone was not enough to increase his cultivation.


    "A scholar uses words as strength to comprehend the Dao. However, not all books are worth reading. The first part of the¡¶ Origin of All Laws¡· is reasonable, but the second part is nonsense."


    Di Chen thought that in the future, he would not be able to read random books. Reading good books was the key.


    The latter half of Yu Shan''s "Destiny" almost destroyed Di Chen earlier, and it was thanks to Yang Mengqi''s guidance that Di Chen was able to recognize him again.


    Dong, dong, dong!


    At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Yang Mengqi walked in.


    "Teacher Yang," Di Chen asked curiously. "Is there something you need?"


    Yang Mengqi laughed: "Su''er said that you are back earlier, so she came over to ask about your situation in Thousand Monster Mountain."


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "I just happened to want to tell you this too. You know that Huang Ting, Yu Xiuyuan and the rest went to the Thousand Monster Mountain to kill me, there are probably more than a dozen people there, but all of them were killed by me. I don''t know if the academy would know about this, but do you think the academy would punish me if they found out?"


    Yang Mengqi was startled: "You killed that many? However, you have indeed killed a lot this time, and there are even a few A class disciples among them. I think even if the Principal does not blame your A class instructor, he would still come looking for you. "


    Although Huang Ting and the others were the first to make a move, and they were also at Thousand Monster Mountain, the problem was that these people were important figures that were nurtured in the Sky Realm Academy. Now that Di Chen had killed so many people, it could be said that it was the academy''s loss, so the academy would naturally not let him off.


    Di Chen had long guessed that this would happen, and said with a bitter face: "They are so determined to kill me, I have no other choice."


    Yang Mengqi laughed: "You don''t have to be too worried, with so many people killing you, it would only mean that they are useless. Those that are useless waste resources, just train as you wish."


    Di Chen thought that nothing would happen since Yang Mengqi was protecting him, but he was not worried. He asked again: That''s right, Teacher Yang, are you feeling better?


    Yang Mengqi looked at his body and laughed: "Su''er''s acupuncture points and Heart Replenishing Pill have healed my body quite a lot. I also broke through to the fifth level of Martial Saint, I believe there shouldn''t be any problems with this competition."


    Di Chen looked at Yang Mengqi''s fate. Her entire body was covered in a light red halo, which should go smoothly in the future. Thinking that she should be able to obtain the Three Lives Rejuvenation Pill, Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Di Chen, get out here right now..." At this moment, a roar came from outside.


    The voice was like thunder, causing the entire room to tremble. This kind of strength was at least in the Martial Saint realm.


    "It''s Huang Daoji," Yang Mengqi said as she recognized the owner of the voice. He looked at Di Chen and said, "This is the instructor of A class, I never thought that he would arrive so quickly. It seems like he already knew about you killing Yu Xiuyuan and the others."


    Di Chen was startled. He had only been back for less than a day, how did news of this spread?


    After all, Huang Ting and Yu Xiuyuan not returning did not mean that they were already dead. Now that Huang Daoji had come to confirm that they were dead, how could he be sure?


    Bing Tong and Qin Suer would not say it, who else could it be?


    Di Chen had never thought about it, but he was not afraid at all. "I didn''t make the first move, so this guy can''t not be unreasonable, right?"


    Yang Mengqi said: "This guy is really an unreasonable person, but you don''t have to worry, let''s go out and see."


    The two of them walked out of the room and Di Chen saw a middle aged man standing in the middle of the courtyard. He was tall and sturdy, wore a brown robe, and had a dignified appearance.


    Yang Mengqi looked at Huang Daoji and said, "Why didn''t you properly instruct your A class students to come over to my place?"


    Huang Daoji snorted: "Yang Mengqi, the good student you brought out actually killed three of our students from A class. Today, I have come to ask for an explanation from you."


    Di Chen spoke first, "Teacher Huang, where did you hear this rumor from? Who exactly did I kill?"


    Yang Mengqi understood after hearing Di Chen''s words, he did not want to admit to this matter, after all, no one had seen it before.


    "You''re still not admitting to it?" Huang Daoji saw that Di Chen actually denied it, and said angrily: "Didn''t you kill Yu Xiuyuan?"


    "Yu Xiuyuan?" Di Chen still did not want to admit it, he thought for a while and said: I seem to have never seen this person after I entered the Sky Realm Academy, I don''t even know who he is, how do I kill him, and also, how can Teacher Huang be sure that he is dead.


    Huang Daoji snorted: "Yuan Tong heard it yourself, do you dare to say that what he said was not the truth?"


    Di Chen was startled, he looked at Yuan Tong who was fiddling with the flowers and plants in shock, and suddenly remembered that he was indeed nearby when Qin Suer told him about this matter, but he did not expect it to be him ¡­


    Yuan Tong originally did not care about what was happening here, but after hearing Huang Daoji mention him, he stood up and said: "It''s not like I''m lying, you were clearly the one who said that you killed Yu Xiuyuan and the others."


    Originally, Yuan Tong did not want to tell this to Huang Daoji, but seeing that Yang Mengqi''s cultivation was getting stronger and stronger, he had confidence towards the ranking battle, and thought that he did not need Di Chen to do so anymore, and in the end, could not help but tell this to Huang Daoji.


    Di Chen was speechless, thinking how much this guy hated him. He was already very careful, but he still ignored him.


    Yang Mengqi looked at Yuan Tong angrily: "How many times have I told you to not leave medicinal garden, who told you to walk around on your own accord, go back to your room."


    This was the first time Yuan Tong had scolded him, and he did not think that he had done anything wrong. He only felt wronged, and tears were about to fall from his eyes, and he wanted to explain himself, but Yang Mengqi did not listen to him at all, so he could only go back to her room while wiping her tears.


    "Di Chen," Huang Daoji scolded: "What else do you have to say?"


    Di Chen also knew that he could not hide it from me, and said: "Previously, I met a few of my enemies in Thousand Monster Mountain, and I only knew one Huang Ting, I think Teacher Huang has heard of the grudge between me and Huang Ting, he wanted to compete with me before and almost kill me, but in the end, I destroyed the martial soul and broke his arm, he was unsatisfied and took the opportunity to kill me while I was cultivating in Thousand Monster Mountain, and in the end he was killed by me instead. Could it be that the Yu Xiuyuan that Teacher Huang mentioned is among those people?"


    Firstly, Di Chen said that he had a grudge with Huang Ting, and hence, he did not know who Yu Xiuyuan was. Naturally, there was no grudge between them, so if Yu Xiuyuan followed Huang Ting to kill Di Chen, Yu Xiuyuan could only blame himself.


    Huang Daoji released his spirit energy, narrowed his eyes and said: "In that case, you admit to killing Yu Xiuyuan and the other disciples of our A class?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "I did kill a few people who wanted to kill me, but I do not know if they are the A class disciples that Teacher Huang mentioned."


    Huang Daoji naturally did not believe his words, and said furiously: "What a sharp-tongued person. Wanting to push the responsibility even after killing someone, how could our Sky Realm Academy allow a student like you to exist? Today, I will cripple you."


    This way, Huang Daoji would also be able to get the corresponding points. Now that Yu Xiuyuan had been killed, all the hard work he had spent all these years cultivating had all gone down the drain, how could he not be angry?

 C93

    Yang Mengqi stepped in front of Di Chen, and said coldly: "Huang Daoji, Di Chen already said it, he did not know that those are A class''s disciples, and that Di Chen had no enmity with them, that they were the ones who made the first move, and that they were the ones who wanted to kill Di Chen despite their weak strength, and deserved to die."


    "You ¡­" How could he accept the fact that Di Chen was one of the disciples that Huang Daoji was proud of, but that he was killed by Di Chen? How could he accept such a thing, he said furiously: "I don''t care about the reason, I only know that Di Chen killed Yu Xiuyuan, Yang Mengqi, you are a Martial Saint''s triple stage and I am a Martial Saint''s fourth level cultivator, the two of us are already one realm behind him, moreover, I heard that you were very ill and had given up cultivating a long time ago, why don''t you see if you have the strength to save him?"


    Everyone in the academy knew that Yang Mengqi was very sick, that was why they came to manage medicinal garden. However, Huang Daoji did not know that Yang Mengqi had already broken through to the fifth level of Martial Saint.


    Yang Mengqi also did not say a word, and continued to calmly stare at Huang Daoji.


    "Since you insist on protecting him, then don''t blame me for being impolite," Huang Daoji said as he took a step towards Yang Mengqi.


    Yang Mengqi squinted her eyes, and welcomed Huang Daoji with a palm, ready to fight him head on.


    Huang Daoji was a little surprised that Yang Mengqi was actually prepared to fight him head on. However, he only treated Yang Mengqi''s actions as protecting her own safety, which was why he was so foolish.


    Pow!


    As the two palms collided, Huang Daoji only felt his arm go numb. His entire body was pushed back five or six steps, but Yang Meng didn''t move at all.


    "What?" He looked at his trembling arm and was unable to use any strength for a moment as he said in shock, "You are not Martial Saint''s triple stage."


    Yang Mengqi said calmly: "A while ago, I started my cultivation anew. I have already broken through to the fifth level of Martial Saint from the Martial Saint''s triple stage.


    It can''t be, you are obviously very sick, could it be that you have recovered from your illness, even if you trained well, it would still be impossible for you to cultivate so fast, to cultivate to a small realm like the Martial Saint, you will need at least a year to break through, how can you cultivate so fast?


    Breaking through a small realm in a year is still considered a high level. Some people can only break through a small realm in two to three years, and Yang Mengqi said that she could break through two small realms not long after cultivating?


    Yang Mengqi was too lazy to explain, and said softly: "Are you still not leaving?"


    Huang Daoji looked at Yang Mengqi hatefully. He knew it was useless to stay, and said: "This Di Chen killed my A class students, but you actually protected him. Very good, Yang Mengqi, I will wait for you during the ranking battle."


    If there were even the slightest of serious injuries, there might even be a threat to their lives. Every year, there would be a large number of students dying in the tournament, and this was because Huang Daoji wanted to kill Yang Mengqi during the competition.


    Di Chen did not expect Yang Mengqi to defeat Huang Daoji so easily, and he exclaimed: "Teacher Yang, so you''re actually this powerful."


    Yang Mengqi said with a grave expression on her face, "After a period of time, it will be the academy''s ranking war. Everyone wants to get good results, after all, the points accumulated in this ranking battle will be great, and there will also be the Flame Emperor''s prize. I believe that Huang Daoji still has his trump card that he hasn''t used yet, so I can''t be too careless."


    Di Chen thought that this was true, the ranking tournament was just around the corner, and every single person was training with all their might, holding back their strength, preparing to shine on the day of the ranking battle. Not only Yang Mengqi, even he would be in danger during the ranking battle, Yu Xiuyuan was not the only genius in A class!


    "You should cultivate properly during this period of time, I will go see Yuan Tong."


    Previously, Yuan Tong had always been against Di Chen, but Yang Mengqi only thought that Yuan Tong was too childish and did not grow up, but today, he actually told Huang Daoji about this matter, and caused Huang Daoji to come and find trouble with Di Chen. This matter was too serious, and she could not tolerate it.


    When he entered the room, he saw Yuan Tong sitting on the bed obediently with tears streaming down his face.


    Yang Mengqi tried her best to remain calm: "I know you don''t like Di Chen, but I told you before that we need Di Chen here, and I also need Di Chen here. However, this will not change anything, why are you still thinking of ways to drive Di Chen away?"


    Yuan Tong wiped away his tears and said, "It''s not like I did anything wrong. He already killed a student of A class, so I have a responsibility to let Teacher Huang know."


    You have a responsibility?


    Yang Mengqi was furious when she heard this: "What responsibility do you have? You aren''t even a student of the Academy, what does this have to do with you? What responsibility do you have?


    It was the first time Yuan Tong saw him this angry. He didn''t even dare to speak with his head lowered, and only kept wiping his tears.


    Yang Mengqi saw that he was crying so she did not blame him anymore. It was just a child after all, so she sighed: "Forget it, I will pretend that this never happened. In the future, you are not allowed to leave medicinal garden, and even more so, target Di Chen, understand?"


    Yuan Tong was still unwilling, but he did not dare say anymore, and only nodded his head.


    Normally, when Yang Mengqi cried, Yang Mengqi would comfort him with a few words, but today, Yang Mengqi did not even try to console him, and just left the room.


    Only now did Yuan Tong raise his head, and an expression of hatred appeared in his eyes again, his two hands were clenched into fists, and for the first time, he realised that Yang Mengqi seemed to be more related to Di Chen.


    "I won''t let you go," Yuan Tong said in his heart.


    After separating with Yang Mengqi, Di Chen found Qin Suer, who was currently cultivating her Spirit Grass in the Western Garden, so he went over to help.


    "Just now, I felt an Essence Qi fluctuation in the courtyard. What happened?"


    Qin Suer held onto a hoe, dug a hole in the ground, and placed a few Spirit Grass seeds inside. She asked: "Is it related to the death of Yu Xiuyuan and the rest?"


    Di Chen stooped down to help her, and helped while sighing: "Previously, when Yuan Tong heard the words of the two of us, he secretly told the matter of me killing Yu Xiuyuan to the A class Instructor Huang Daoji. This Yu Xiuyuan is also one of the A class Elites, and Huang Daoji is specially here to denounce us for his crimes."


    Qin Suer frowned: "I originally thought that Yuan Tong only wanted to chase you away, but now it seems that his hatred for you is growing deeper and deeper. I''m afraid that he wants to kill you too, this kind of person is dangerous, you need to be careful."


    It was impossible for Di Chen to leave the medicinal garden in a short period of time, and he had no other choice either. He helplessly said: "He''s still young, so I can''t do anything to him, let''s take things one step at a time."


    If it was anyone else, Di Chen would have already killed him, but Yuan Tong was just a child, Di Chen couldn''t possibly kill a child.


    After the two of them finished planting the Spirit Grass, they went to the east garden to pick some Spirit Fruits. These Spirit Fruits were sent to the Wind Sound Pavilion, it was inconvenient for Qin Suer to walk around the academy, so she would naturally need to do this kind of errand boy.


    Di Chen carried the bamboo tower to the Feng Yin Pavilion, and after giving the items away, he went to the Mission Pavilion. Right now, he still had seven hundred points before he could buy the Heaven''s Expanse Brush, and Di Chen had to earn enough points before the ranking battle to buy this sum.


    Most of the missions were from one to five points, so it was not considered difficult for Di Chen to complete them, but it was too time-consuming as he would occasionally see tasks with a dozen or so points on them. These missions were not difficult, he could probably complete them with a few people on his side, but the time consumed would probably be a little longer, and once he divided them evenly, it would not be worth it. There were also some high level missions that required a lot of people, which Di Chen was not able to complete either.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly saw a wanted quest, it actually had 100 points on it, but what surprised him was that the person wanted to capture was Qin Suer, Di Chen frowned, he never thought that Qin Suer, the government offender, would be able to capture the Sky Realm Academy, and give him such a high score.


    In fact, it was understandable as Qin Suer''s father was guilty of conspiracy and this crime would have to be executed by the entire family. However, Qin Suer had disappeared without a trace, the Martial Region Continent was very big, it would not be easy to capture someone.


    Fortunately, in the Sky Realm Academy, only Qiu Tang knew of Qin Suer''s existence. It was likely that he would not sell Qin Suer out, so Qin Suer should be safe.


    "Di Chen..." At this moment, a woman''s voice was heard.


    Di Chen turned around and saw that the person who came was Liu Jingjing. He had not seen her since he entered the Sky Realm Academy and said in surprise: "It''s you."


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "I heard that you and Bing Tong completed the Blacktooth''s mission. This mission was hung up for a long time, I did it before, and in the end, I met a few Demonic King s and lost a few people.


    It was actually not that difficult to kill Blacktooth. What was difficult was the location of Heaven Eye Lake, as there were a lot of Demonic King s along the way, it was too dangerous.


    Di Chen laughed and said: "Actually, it''s just our luck, we only met one Demonic King on the way, we went around them."


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Luck is also a part of strength, for you to earn 50 points from this mission is truly enviable."


    Previously, when Di Chen completed his mission, many people looked at him with a jealous expression. One must know that it was not easy to earn 50 points, and many people only managed to complete missions for a few months and only managed to get a few dozen points.


    Di Chen thought about how he was still short of 700 something, and said helplessly: "However, I want to buy that Sky Splitting Brush. I still lack a lot of points."


    Liu Jingjing knew that Di Chen was a literati and definitely wanted to buy the Sky Spill Brush. She hesitated for a while before saying, "The Lifestealer Realm Realm''s mission points are rather low, how about this, I have taken a fancy to a Martial King level mission. The two of us will complete it together, what do you say?"


    Di Chen was startled: "Martial king? Can we from two people with Lifestealer Realm accomplish that? "


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Let''s go take a look first."


    Di Chen was still hesitating, this was not a joke, Liu Jingjing did not give Di Chen the chance to hesitate, she stopped him and walked to the mission area.


    A Martial King level mission''s points were usually higher, almost all of them reaching a hundred points. Actually, this was normal too, these cultivation techniques used by Martial Kings, the weapons they used, and the pills they swallowed, were all higher than those used by Lifestealer Realm''s practitioners by a grade. They were all more expensive, and their mission points were naturally higher as well.

 C94

    "This mission," Liu Jingjing said as she pointed to a mission. "This mission is worth 50 points.


    "Vermillion Bird Fruit?" Di Chen took a look at the mission, the mission was to go to the east of Thousand Monster Mountain to pick a Vermillion Bird Fruit, and the Vermillion Bird Fruit was a third grade spirit herb that could be used to refine pills to be used as medicine. Qin Suer had previously said that the Vermillion Bird had a strong medicinal property, and many pills required a Vermillion Bird Fruit to be combined with the, but Vermillion Bird Fruit were very rare, and Vermillion Bird Fruit could not be planted manually, and that was the day the Vermillion Bird Fruit would mature, and many people would go up the mountain to pick Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    Di Chen said with a strange expression on his face. "Why is it Thousand Monster Mountain again?


    Liu Jingjing smiled and said: "Thousand Monster Mountain is the largest mountain range in the vicinity of Millennium City. There are a lot of demonic beast and Spirit Grass, so most of these missions have to go to Thousand Monster Mountain."


    Di Chen was worried: "Previously when we went to hunt the Blacktooth, we met the Demonic King, I''m afraid this time we met the Demonic King, will the two of us finish it?"


    Hearing that Demonic King Liu Jingjing had no other ideas, he hesitated for a while before saying: "We can only say that there''s a chance, in a while we will go meet the person who set this mission."


    Di Chen had a puzzled look on his face as he asked, "What do you mean?"


    This mission was worth fifty points, and fifty points was equivalent to five hundred thousand taels of silver. However, in reality, this mission was definitely not just worth five hundred thousand taels of silver, the academy would benefit greatly from it, of course, the academy would not reveal the identity of the client to the students, as long as the student carried out the mission, then it would be fine. However, this mission was unexpected, and the identity of the client would be leaked.


    Without the Sky Realm Academy, there would naturally be many students who were willing to execute this mission. Furthermore, it was said that the original price for this mission was very high.


    Of course, the person who entrusted the task wasn''t paying the points, but rather silver taels. However, silver taels could be used to exchange for points from other students.


    Di Chen understood after hearing Liu Jingjing''s explanation. He thought for a while and said, "Then this mission, you will follow me to the medicinal garden first, I have to inform the Teacher Yang."


    Liu Jingjing then followed Di Chen to the medicinal garden. When they arrived there, she saw Qin Suer the first time, so of course she knew that the imperial court was looking for Qin Suer. She did not expect that she would hide here, but she would not reveal it to anyone.


    Seeing that Liu Jingjing and Di Chen were actually both surprised, Qin Suer asked: "Di Chen, what are you doing?"


    Di Chen explained. "I am preparing to go with Liu Jingjing to gather a few Vermillion Bird Fruit. Don''t you also need Vermillion Bird Fruit?"


    Qin Suer cried out: "You just came back and you''re leaving again?"


    She knew that Di Chen wanted to earn some points to buy the Sky Spill Brush, so she was not surprised that he was in a rush to leave. She was just a little surprised that Di Chen was going with her.


    Di Chen sighed: "It''s almost time for the ranking battle, I want to earn more points as soon as possible, you tell Teacher Yang this."


    Qin Suer was startled: "Then be careful, although this season is when the Vermillion Bird matures, the problem is that there are usually a large number of demonic beast around the Vermillion Bird Fruit."


    demonic beast eating Vermillion Bird Fruit could raise one''s cultivation. The reason why this mission was difficult was because it was here to compete with the demonic beast.


    "Understood," Di Chen bid farewell to Qin Suer before leaving.


    She clearly knew that Di Chen was in danger, but she couldn''t help Di Chen. She could only pray that Di Chen could return safely.


    An hour after the two of them left, Yang Mengqi walked out from the room. She was drenched in sweat, her sweat had even drenched her clothes, and Yang Mengqi could faintly see the jade-like white skin inside.


    "Di Chen left again?" Seeing Qin Suer''s loss and eyes, Yang Mengqi guessed that Di Chen must have gone on a mission.


    "Yes," Qin Suer said with a sigh. "Di Chen said he will go and harvest a few Vermillion Bird Fruit."


    "Vermillion Bird Fruit?" Yang Mengqi was startled, and asked anxiously: "How long has he been gone?"


    Qin Suer calculated the time and said: "It has already been an hour, what''s wrong, Teacher Yang?"


    Yang Mengqi said angrily: "This Di Chen is too reckless, this Vermillion Bird Fruit is a Martial King level mission, how can he complete this kind of mission."


    Qin Suer was just at the Lifestealer Realm, if she carried out a Martial King mission, wouldn''t she be sending herself to her death?


    But right now, Di Chen was already far away and it was impossible to chase him back.


    After Liu Jingjing and Di Chen left the academy, Liu Jingjing smiled and said, "Looks like this Qin Suer really likes you. She doesn''t want me to carry out missions with you."


    Di Chen naturally knew what Qin Suer was thinking, and said smilingly: "Of course. When you were together with Huang Ting back then, the academy knew that Huang Ting and I had a grudge, so of course she wouldn''t trust you."


    When it came to Huang Ting, he suddenly revealed a face of curiosity and said: "I heard that Huang Ting, Yu Xiuyuan and many other students were killed by you in Thousand Monster Mountain, is that true?"


    Di Chen shrugged his shoulders, he did not reply, it was better not to admit it.


    Seeing that Di Chen did not say anything and did not pursue the matter, Liu Jingjing thought that it was true. She couldn''t help but feel surprised in her heart, because among those people that died, many were at the ninth stage of Life Seizing.


    Looks like this Di Chen is not simple, Liu Jingjing thought that maybe finding Di Chen to complete this mission together was the right decision.


    After an hour, the two arrived at the Zhao residence on the east side of Millennium City. The Zhao family was a famous family in the Millennium City, the family''s business was mostly business, but the family did not have many cultivators, so they could only entrust some tasks to the Sky Realm Academy.


    Just as Di Chen and Liu Jingjing arrived at the Zhao Palace, they were stopped by two servants. One of the servants asked: "What are you two doing?"


    Di Chen said: "We heard that Elder Zhao needed a Vermillion Bird Fruit, so we specifically came to discuss it with Elder Zhao."


    The man said unkindly: "Have you already picked the Vermillion Bird Fruit?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "Aren''t you going to discuss this with Elder Zhao first?"


    The person noticed that Di Chen did not say anything, and asked again, "The two of you are from the Sky Realm Academy, right? What realm are you in, and which class are you from?"


    Di Chen truthfully told him: "I am at the ninth level of Life Stealing, working in the medicinal garden, and I do not belong to any class. She is Liu Jingjing, at the eighth level of Life Stealing, at the A class."


    Although Di Chen''s realm broke through quickly, Liu Jingjing''s realm did not seem to have broken through, nor did it reach the eighth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm. Di Chen''s strength did not seem to have increased by much either, but Di Chen was indifferent to it.


    The man''s face darkened as soon as he heard these words. He said in a bad mood, "Our master doesn''t have time to entertain guests, you may leave."


    Di Chen was startled, and then looked at Liu Jing. He heard that the Old Master of the Zhao Family seemed to be in a hurry to get his hands on the Vermillion Bird Fruit, and logically speaking, someone should be discussing this matter with him. He should be very welcoming, but this servant actually wanted to kick him out?


    At this moment, two more people stood up. These two people were around the same age as Di Chen, but their auras were much stronger than Di Chen''s. One of them had a long spear strapped to his back on his left side, with a head of long hair hanging down to his shoulders, and sharp eyes.


    The servant from before stopped the two and asked: "It seems like you two are here about the Vermillion Bird Fruit as well. What realm are you two at, and which class are you from?"


    "I am Yuan Feng, this is Tian Ji, we are the students of Sky Realm Academy, first stage of the Martial King realm, Class B''s students." One of them introduced himself.


    When the servants heard their introductions, they immediately welcomed them with smiles on their faces, inviting them in.


    Yuan Feng gave Di Chen and Liu Jingjing a playful look before she and Tian also entered the Zhao manor. The servants then looked at Di Chen and Liu Jingjing with cold expressions.


    A few minutes later, another five people walked in. Out of the five people, three of them were recognized by Di Chen, who were none other than Jiang You, Fang Xin and the others.


    Cao Rouer saw that Di Chen and Liu Jingjing also had a face full of astonishment, and asked: "The two of you also want to complete the Vermillion Bird Fruit''s mission?"


    Di Chen nodded his head: "I am currently lacking points, this mission has to be worth at least 50 points, so I''m here to take a look."


    Cao Rouer said seriously: "I heard that you defeated Huang Ting, and your strength increased by a lot, and Liu Jingjing also has the strength to defeat the ninth stage, but this mission is very difficult, and just the two of you alone are in danger. Di Chen, I think you should not go, for Yu''er was rejected by me earlier when she wanted to go as well."


    Di Chen could tell that she had good intentions, but his words also contained some disdain towards Di Chen.


    "I''ll go take a look," Di Chen laughed, "Even if we can''t get the Vermillion Bird Fruit, we can still kill a few."


    Seeing that Di Chen was determined, he did not try to persuade him further. Although Di Chen and Cao Yuer had a good relationship, Cao Rouer and Di Chen''s relationship was average.


    Fang Xin shot a glance at Di Chen and said: "If you two had a few more people, you might still have a chance, but just the two of you are in great danger, so I advise you two not to be rash and throw your lives in Thousand Monster Mountain."


    When he said those words, he was very haughty, and had a look of contempt for Di Chen.


    Di Chen laughed, and didn''t bother to answer him. In any case, they wouldn''t have anything to do with each other.


    Fang Xin saw the disbelief on Di Chen''s face and snorted: "I tried to advise you, but you refused to listen, you will regret it sooner or later."


    He was too lazy to explain his identity to Di Chen, and even reported his identity to the servant, the servant also invited Fang Xin and the rest in, all of them with faces full of ridicule, while Cao Rouer helplessly sighed, with only Jiang You laughed, and did not try to persuade them, nor did she have any enmity towards them, and did not say a word.


    Liu Jingjing laughed out loud: "Before, this Cao Rouer also moved with you in the Thousand Monster Mountain, but now, she has carried out this mission with Jiang You and the others, and isn''t looking for you. It seems that she doesn''t think highly of you."


    Cao Rouer did not look for Di Chen, but looked for Jiang You, Fang Xin and the rest to explain that she did not think that Di Chen had met her requirements.

 C95

    Di Chen said indifferently: "This is very normal, she stays in Sky Realm Academy for a relatively long time. Actually, if it wasn''t for the ranking competition this time, she would have already broke through his Martial King Realm.


    Being fast in cultivation did not mean that she was strong. It was normal for Cao Rouer to look down on Di Chen, as there were way too many people like him in Sky Realm Academy.


    Only, Cao Rouer did not know that Di Chen had two realms, so with his current strength and Lifestealer Realm, there were few who were stronger than him.


    Liu Jingjing''s eyesight was better than Cao Rouer''s, and there were other people who had invited her to do the mission with them, but she had rejected them, and instead chose Di Chen.


    However, there were also quite a few students like Di Chen who were blocked outside. Di Chen finally understood the reason why this man did not have a good expression, since he and Liu Jingjing were both in Lifestealer Realm, and the number of people was lower, and he was not even a student of A class yet, so this subordinate naturally did not want him to go in.


    The minimum requirement for this mission was five ninth stage Life Seizing A class disciples. As for Class B''s disciples, they simply didn''t have the qualifications to enter.


    However, in reality, this person seemed to be overstepping his authority. The Zhao Mansion did not specify a certain realm for one to complete this mission. This was a decision made by the person himself. He had excluded the team that he thought would be unable to complete this mission.


    It was at this time that a seventeen to eighteen year old woman walked out. She had skin as white as jade, wore a long green dress, was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, and was not one bit inferior to Liu Jingjing. She was the Eldest Miss of the Zhao manor, Zhao Waner.


    The servant then respectfully said, "Miss Wan''er, these are the people who will be receiving the mission. I saw that they are not strong enough and did not let them in."


    Zhao Waner''s eyes swept across the group, and suddenly slapped the servant''s face, and said angrily: You are only at the first stage of life threatening realm, which warrior is not stronger than you, what qualifications do you have to say that they are weak, the Vermillion Bird Fruit''s mission this time is very important, the more people you are willing to do, the better, the greater the chance is, you actually kept all these people outside, didn''t you not purely want to kill my grandfather?


    The servant was completely confused and confused by Zhao Waner''s slap. He cried, "Young miss, I didn''t mean it that way. I just ¡­"


    "Scram," Zhao Waner was too lazy to listen to his explanation, the servant quickly bowed and left, afraid of this young miss.


    Everyone watched speechlessly, this Zhao Waner might seem gentle, but they never expected her temper to be so bad and her actions to be so severe.


    Zhao Waner looked at the crowd again, and said gently: "I am truly sorry, I am a servant, and do not understand. Everyone please come in."


    Everyone had a weird expression on their faces. Wasn''t this change too fast? Just a moment ago, they were still full of viciousness, but in the blink of an eye, they became so gentle?


    Di Chen and Liu Jingjing also followed him in, entering the Zhao Family household. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw many warriors waiting, most of them being Martial King Realm, and some of them being Lifestealer Realm, of which Cao Rouer was at the corner. She also saw Di Chen, and sighed helplessly, thinking, why do you have to throw away your life?


    A few minutes later, an old man walked out. The old man had a head of white hair and looked very old.


    "Elder Zhao ¡­" Everyone saw Zhao Fusheng standing up, this old man had a certain status in Millennium City.


    Zhao Fusheng gestured for everyone to sit down, and looked at the people who went straight to the point: "Everyone, I originally entrusted the mission to Sky Realm Academy, but I never thought that you all would actually come to my place, I know that the Sky Realm Academy gave you guys 50 points, which is equivalent to 500 thousand silver, but in reality, I gave you the mission with 1 million silver."


    "What?" Everyone was surprised when they heard that, one million silver had turned into five hundred thousand silver in Sky Realm Academy?


    Only now did they know how much Sky Realm Academy had earned in the past few years. While they were still living outside earning points, in the end, all the money had gone into the Sky Realm Academy''s warehouse?


    Zhao Fusheng laughed, and thought that this Sky Realm Academy was indeed a little excessive, but the Academy would definitely need a lot of money to run, so he did not want to make any money from this, he said: "I will still offer a reward of one million for a Vermillion Bird, whoever gets the 1 million silver first gets it will get it, but I want to remind you, I only need one Vermillion Bird Fruit, if someone completes this mission, other people will not have any rewards for bringing the Vermillion Bird Fruit back."


    Everyone immediately bid their farewells to Zhao Fusheng after hearing his words. This mission was originally difficult, and there were so many people who wanted to do it, if by any chance, they were late in picking the Vermillion Bird Fruit, it would have been a waste.


    The people in the hall all scattered in an instant, and when they turned back again, only Di Chen and Liu Jingjing were left.


    Zhao Fusheng was supporting her as she walked over, so she asked curiously: "They''re all gone, why didn''t you guys hurry up and go?"


    Di Chen did not reply, he was quiet for a while, then laughed: "Elder Zhao is very cunning."


    Zhao Waner said unhappily: "How can you speak like that, how is my grandfather so cunning?"


    Zhao Fusheng waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Waner, gesturing that she was fine, and smiled: "Why do you say that?"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "I''m just curious as to why Elder Zhao only needs one Vermillion Bird Fruit, and purposely divulged his identity as the client so as to induce the students of Sky Realm Academy to compete and snatch it from the Thousand Monster Mountain."


    It was impossible for the Sky Realm Academy to reveal the identity of their client. The only possibility was that the Zhao Family had revealed it themselves, and they had offered a high price to buy another one. They were clearly trying to lure others into fighting for it, but they did not know why the Zhao Family would do that.


    Zhao Fusheng did not expect Di Chen to actually see through this point, but of course he would not admit it, and laughed: "The reason is not important, the important thing is that no matter what reason is it that I am, you guys will still go. Right, are you guys not afraid of going too late?"


    Di Chen shrugged his shoulders and said: "This Vermillion Bird Fruit is deep within the Thousand Monster Mountain. Along the way, there will be many Demonic King level demonic beast.


    Zhao Waner laughed: "You say that my grandfather is cunning, but I see that you are actually quite crafty, but seeing that the two of you have Lifestealer Realm and there are only so many of you, are you not worried that you will die?"


    Liu Jingjing said indifferently: "It''s also good to try our luck, we don''t have to complete this mission, Thousand Monster Mountain is originally a suitable place for cultivation."


    On the surface, Liu Jingjing seemed to be indifferent about whether or not she could obtain Vermillion Bird Fruit s, but in reality, she wanted to complete this mission. After all, there were one million of them and each of them could get fifty points, which was not a small amount.


    "I wish you all the best of luck," Zhao Fusheng laughed, and then followed Zhao Waner back into the house.


    Di Chen watched Zhao Fusheng''s back figure disappear before leaving together with Liu Jingjing.


    Zhao Fusheng waited until Di Chen left before asking curiously: "This person doesn''t have any Yuan Power in his body, I can''t even tell what cultivation he has, it''s weird."


    Zhao Waner was also puzzled: "Yeah, but I can confirm that he is from the Lifestealer Realm Realm, and as for the other person, she should be at the ninth stage of the life reaping Realm, so her strength should not be weak. These two people might be stronger than normal people, but it would be difficult to harvest Vermillion Bird Fruit s, so I am quite curious as to where the confidence from these two people comes from."


    Zhao Fusheng laughed: "These two are smart, they might not be able to obtain Vermillion Bird Fruit s, but they definitely can''t die, interesting, if these two have talent, I would really like to let them join our Famous Sword Academy."


    The Famous Sword Academy was one of the three big academies in the Martial Region Continent, whose position was on par with the Sky Realm Academy, and this Zhao Fusheng was one of the teachers in the Famous Sword Academy.


    On one hand, it was to prepare for the competition between the Sky Realm Academy and the Famous Sword Academy in the future. On the other hand, it was to poach from the Sky Realm Academy, so as to lure the strong into the Famous Sword Academy.


    The competition between the three great academies was very intense, and it was normal for the Famous Sword Academy to do this. Back then, Sky Realm Academy had already poached talented students from the Famous Sword Academy, so the latter could at most be considered as returning the favor.


    Di Chen was not in a hurry to get on the Thousand Monster Mountain, his speed was not fast along the way. When he thought about Zhao Fusheng''s performance, he felt that it was a little strange, and said: "This time, a large number of Lifestealer Realm experts and those at the first or second stage of the Martial King realm are going to the Thousand Monster Mountain. What do you think Zhao Fusheng''s purpose is?"


    Liu Jingjing shook her head: "He was obviously luring us up the mountain on purpose, but I don''t know what his goal was, it''s not important, the most important thing is to quickly pick that Vermillion Bird Fruit ¡­"


    As she said till here, she looked at Di Chen as if she was saying, "Earlier, I thought that you were just pretending not to be anxious, but now, it seems like you really aren''t in a rush at all, why?"


    Di Chen pondered: "This Vermillion Bird Fruit is on the eastern mountains, it''s very hard to find, and there are a lot of them, so we should go over there and die in the demonic beast''s mouth. There''s no need to rush, those people really lost their minds at the price of a million silver."


    In fact, Di Chen was afraid that someone would snatch it away, but the more he was like this, the more anxious he became. It was obvious that Zhao Fusheng would spend a million on a Vermillion Bird which was not easy to obtain.


    Furthermore, the reason why Di Chen did not rush there was because he was worried that he would clash with other people. There were too many people going to the Thousand Monster Mountain, so it was even more dangerous than going to the demonic beast.


    Liu Jingjing also understood Di Chen''s intention. Although they did not agree, they could only follow Di Chen, and did not go up the mountain in a hurry, but waited at the foot of the mountain for a whole day before continuing. It was just as Di Chen had said, on the way up, Di Chen did not see a single student, nor did he see any demonic beast, but they saw many corpses of the demonic beast, which must have been killed by the students, thus saving Di Chen some time.

 C96

    The Vermillion Bird Fruit s did not grow on the fruit trees, but on the vines instead. The vines were ordinary, and would entangle with other trees to grow, and the Vermillion Bird Fruit s were actually very small, each vine was only the size of a fingernail, and normally, at most, would grow one. If one did not look carefully, it would be very difficult to find one on the vine, and it would depend on luck, so there was no need to walk too fast, maybe they could find another Vermillion Bird Fruit that they did not notice on the road.


    Di Chen would carve a "fix" character and a "spear" character on a tree every few steps. He could see the same word everywhere, but this greatly reduced his speed.


    Liu Jingjing asked curiously: "What are you doing? All the trees along the way were filled with words."


    Di Chen laughed: "To prevent me from being hunted down, to protect my life."


    These words were carved by Di Chen using the power of a scholar. It was the same as when he was carving on paper, but when the words were carved on trees, it could sneak attack others, and the effect was better than writing on paper.


    Liu Jingjing looked at those words curiously. She did not understand the literati, but she felt that the literati''s techniques were very mysterious.


    Along the way, the two of them did not meet a single demonic beast, but they did find a lot of bloodstains, and there was even the aura of the Demonic King left behind.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly felt two powerful Spirit Qi approaching him, and immediately looked in the direction where the Spirit Qi came from in alert.


    Liu Jingjing seemed to have also sensed this aura, her face congealed, she knew that this was not a good one.


    After a while, two men walked over. They were Yuan Feng and Tian Yu. Di Chen had seen the two of them outside the Zhao manor earlier, he did not expect to meet them here.


    "Di Chen, right?" Yuan Feng looked at Di Chen curiously and laughed.


    Di Chen pretended to be calm and laughed: "So it''s Senior Brother Yuan Feng and Senior Brother Tian Hu. This Vermillion Bird Fruit is halfway up the mountain, why are the two Senior Brothers still at the foot of the mountain?"


    Tian Yi also laughed: "Just as you thought, there are too many demonic beast on the way, so there''s no need to be fast. It would be better to let the others clean up some of these demonic beast for us first, so we can save some effort."


    Di Chen smiled calmly and said: "I see, Jingjing and I still have some matters to attend to, so I won''t disturb the two of you."


    The two of them obviously had ill intentions, Di Chen did not dare to stay, after he finished speaking, he pulled Liu Jingjing and left.


    Yuan Feng leaped out, and directly blocked in front of Di Chen, then said with a smile: "Why would Junior Brother Di Chen be in a hurry to leave, it''s not like we will harm you."


    Liu Jingjing smiled like a flower: "This time, there are too many people going to pick Vermillion Bird Fruit, Di Chen and I have to go faster, if not others will get there first, and the two senior brothers can also go there quickly."


    After hurriedly finding an excuse, she pulled Di Chen around the two and prepared to leave.


    Yuan Feng took another step forward and stopped the two and said: "There''s no rush with the Vermillion Bird Fruit, this time we do have urgent matters that we need your help with."


    If the increase in Lifestealer Realm was in place, he would have already made his move, but these two people were martial kings, so Di Chen did not dare to rashly make a move.


    Di Chen did his best to suppress his anger, and said: "Jingjing and I are both in the Lifestealer Realm, I''m afraid we can''t help you two in any way, you two should look for someone else."


    Yuan Feng laughed: "If you cannot help us, we will not look for you. Let''s go."


    He didn''t even give Di Chen a chance to choose, and grabbed onto Di Chen''s arm as he left.


    Di Chen only felt a powerful force enter his body, he could not break free at all, and followed Yuan Feng and Tian Ji, but these two fellows forced him to go, afraid that he would be in danger.


    A hundred metres away, there was a flower that looked like a sunflower. The root of the flower was at least two meters long, and there were vines growing from the top of the root. All of the vines were barbed into thorns, and the flower plate that was as big as a soccer ball seemed to have a woman''s face.


    "Woman Flower?" It was said that if a flower was to bloom, it would need to absorb a person''s flesh and blood. There were some old female human flowers that could even absorb the flesh and blood of War God, but because the medicinal value of this flower was too great for humans to handle, it had already become extinct a few thousand years ago. Liu Jingjing did not expect that there would be another flower this big, it seemed like it had absorbed the flesh and blood of many people.


    Yuan Feng did not expect Liu Jingjing to recognize it, and praised it: "Jingjing is indeed well-informed, yes, this is a woman''s flower, from the looks of it, this flower is at least 10 years old, if sold, it would be worth at least 5 million silver."


    5 million silver was not a small amount. If it was exchanged for points, that would be 500 points. Just how many missions would he have to complete to earn that?


    "However, there is one problem," Heaven also added, "This woman Flower is very dangerous, and beside the flower there is a large number of poisonous wasp. and I might not be able to obtain the flower safely, so I need your help."


    Di Chen frowned: "Looking at the age of this girl, it should at least be able to absorb the Martial King Realm''s flesh and blood, with Jingjing''s and I''s strength, it''s simply courting death, and that group of poisonous wasp is too dangerous, even the two of you would probably not be able to withstand their poison."


    This poisonous wasp was only at level 7 or 8. It would be alright if there were fewer of them, but there were simply too many of them. Not to mention Tian Fu and Yuan Feng who were both at the first level of the Martial King realm, even if there were suddenly triple stage s, they would still be poisoned to death.


    There were a lot of people who came to the Thousand Monster Mountain this time, so Di Chen believed that it wasn''t just Yuan Feng and Tian Huo who discovered this woman Flower, but also others who didn''t go to pick this flower.


    Yuan Feng laughed: "You don''t need to care about this girl, as long as you help me lure the poisonous wasp away."


    "What?" Di Chen almost wanted to scold him when he heard this. So many poisonous wasp s, you want me, a person from the Lifestealer Realm, to lead them away?


    Liu Jingjing said angrily, "Senior Brother Yuan Feng, if this sky full of poisonous wasp without a cultivation at the fifth stage of the Martial King realm can''t even get close, aren''t you just sending Di Chen to his death?"


    If it wasn''t for the matter of suicide, how could I let you do it?


    Of course, these words could not be said, Yuan Feng thought otherwise and said: "I believe that Di Chen has the ability, Di Chen, if you succeed in luring these poisonous wasp away, after we harvest the woman''s flowers, we will give you 50 points, and the price will not be lower than when you pick the Vermillion Bird Fruit."


    50 points?


    This girl can be sold for 500 points, and you want me to risk my life to attract these poisonous wasp, then you''ll give me 50 points?


    Even if I lure the poisonous wasp away, you guys might not even be able to get a female flower. Then wouldn''t I have fallen into danger for nothing?


    Furthermore, even if you picked a female flower, would you really give me 50 points?


    Di Chen saw the craftiness in Yuan Feng''s eyes, and rejected it without hesitation: "I don''t want to lose my life over these fifty points, Senior Brother, you should look for someone else. Jingjing, let''s go."


    Then, she pulled Liu Jingjing away!


    Tian also pulled Di Chen back, saying with a calm face: "Di Chen, don''t be too greedy. We found this woman first, and she''s also very dangerous.


    Di Chen said seriously: "I am very unsatisfied, so I am not willing to risk my life to attract these poisonous wasp, my two senior brothers should look for someone else."


    He waved his hand and was about to leave.


    "If you don''t want to help, then why are you here? You''ve delayed us for so long, it''s already too late for us to find anyone else. Do you still want to leave?"


    Liu Jingjing had seen many unreasonable things, but this was the first time she saw the heavens doing the same. She furiously roared: "What do you mean by delaying you? You were the ones who clearly forced us to come earlier, we didn''t even want to come, furthermore, you didn''t have any intentions of looking for anyone else."


    Tian also snorted, "I don''t care. Since you guys have come, don''t even think about leaving. If you don''t want to go today, you have to."


    With that said, he grabbed Di Chen and threw him towards the female flower.


    Di Chen was a whole realm lower than the heavens, how could he resist. When he regained his senses, the poisonous wasp had already flocked over.


    "Di Chen..." Liu Jingjing''s expression changed, these venomous snakes could instantly kill Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen cursed, and immediately wrote down the word "fix", the word transformed into a ripple that rippled outwards, causing the approaching poisonous wasp to immediately stop and stay still in the air.


    But this poisonous wasp area was simply too big, and many of them weren''t affected by Di Chen''s formula, so they continued to swarm here.


    Di Chen did not dare to stay for long, the word ''fix'' also needed a process, and by the time he finished writing it, he would be dead already. He immediately ran in another direction, and the group of poisonous wasp followed closely behind him, quickly disappearing from Yuan Feng''s line of sight.


    "This Di Chen still has some skill, I thought he would not be able to last more than a few seconds."


    When Yuan Feng attracted most of the poisonous wasp away, he could not help but reveal a face of pleasant surprise. Di Chen''s performance had greatly exceeded his expectations.


    Liu Jingjing was so angry that her body was trembling. Just now, the two had said that with Di Chen''s strength, she should be able to lure away the poisonous wasp, but from his tone just now, she knew that they had never thought that Di Chen would be able to survive.


    "Don''t care about him, let''s go." Yuan Feng didn''t care about Di Chen surviving at all as he looked at him and said: "You help out too."


    Liu Jingjing originally did not want to take action, but she was very clear that in the Lifestealer Realm Realm, she did not have any authority to speak at all. If these two people wanted to kill her, it would be very easy, and she could only grit her teeth and charge towards the human female flower.


    At the same time.


    A large group of poisonous wasp s followed Di Chen, causing him to cry out in pain, he was already stung by the poisonous wasp, his body was extremely painful, if he were to be stung even a few more times, he would probably not be able to hold on.


    "It''s right in front," Di Chen gritted his teeth and continued to run with all his might. After running for a few minutes, he finally stopped.


    It was also at this time that the poisonous wasp surrounded Di Chen, a black mass covering the entire sky.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen''s hands formed a seal, and roared. Then, the surrounding tree trunks revealed a strange power, causing the poisonous wasp s that filled the sky to immediately stop, and floated in the air with little black spots. They looked like their scalps were numb, and were just a few inches away from Di Chen.

 C97

    These words were carved on the tree by Di Chen previously, but he had to use the power of a scholar to activate it, and most of the words had instantly consumed 80% of his power.


    Following that, Di Chen quickly used his finger to write "Broken" characters in midair to welcome the poisonous wasp. A series of explosions rang out, and those poisonous wasp were immediately shattered into pieces, but there were too many of them.


    The poisonous wasp that filled the sky disappeared, and only then did Di Chen fall limply to the ground, panting heavily. Luckily he had carved a lot of "fix" here in advance, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.


    In fact, if Di Chen had prepared well, he would have been able to control those poisonous wasp. However, Yuan Feng and Tian had never thought of cooperating with Di Chen, they only wanted him to lure those poisonous wasp away.


    Di Chen''s eyes were staring hatefully at Yuan Feng and Tian Ji''s direction. He wanted to save Liu Jingjing, but he knew very clearly that he could not save her even if he did not have him at her disposal. Even if he did, he would not be able to defeat two Martial Kings, and now he had no choice but to recover his powers.


    Di Chen raised his head and looked around, but luckily there were no demonic beast s here. He found a cave, hid inside, and took out a pen and paper to copy the books.


    A scholar was not like a martial artist. Once a martial artist''s soul force was depleted, they could use a refined pill to recover. A scholar could only write or read books to draw strength from their words. This process was simple, but it was somewhat troublesome.


    One day later!


    Di Chen kept the brush and paper, and just today, he finished copying another book. In fact, a few hours ago, Di Chen''s powers as a scholar had already recovered, but because he would always copy books, he fell into a state of oblivion. He did not even know how time had passed, as he copied a day.


    "The power of a scholar has finally been restored." Di Chen finally walked out of the cave and returned to the place where the female flowers were, but at this moment, the female flowers had already been picked away, and Liu Jingjing, Yuan Feng and Tian Yi had gone somewhere. Di Chen knew that something was wrong, and thought that they must have taken Liu Jingjing away by force, these two fellows were extremely vicious, and they might even use Liu Jingjing as bait in the future.


    Di Chen thought that he could only watch from the sidelines, and immediately headed towards the depths of the mountain. He estimated that by now, most of the people would already be halfway up the mountain, and it would be too late if he delayed any longer.


    However, Di Chen was still not fast enough, he was still carving formula s on the ground, just like before.


    Although the speed was slow, Di Chen still reached the halfway point of the mountain. The Vermillion Bird Fruit lived in this area, from that point onwards, Di Chen could see the other students, but they were not in the mood to pay attention to the others. They were all busy searching, so Di Chen naturally began to look for the Vermillion Bird Fruit as well, but this was all dependent on luck.


    Roar!


    "Hmm?" Suddenly, Di Chen heard the roars of demonic beast, and from the sound of the roars, he knew that someone was fighting. He immediately walked over quietly, and quickly saw the five of them killing a few demonic beast at the ninth stage of the Life Stealing Realm.


    Di Chen noticed that the Great Rock Lizards that these people killed were precisely the Great Rock Lizards that he had encountered before. That time, Di Chen had killed three Great Rock Lizards by himself, but there were more than ten of them now.


    Although Cao Rouer and the rest did not fall into the trap, they were still unable to get rid of these large rock lizards. If this continued, not only would it delay them, it would also be a waste of their spirit energy.


    A few of them were fighting to the death with the Great Rock Lizard, and some of them were already injured.


    "Cao Rouer, be careful," Jiang You suddenly shouted.


    Cao Rouer turned her head around and saw a large rock lizard pouncing towards him. This rock lizard had a very strong bite, if he got bitten by it, he would die for sure.


    "Not good," Cao Rouer''s face changed, the Great Rock Lizard''s attack was too sudden, Cao Rouer could not react at all, and other people would not even be able to save him if they wanted to.


    However, just at this moment, a human figure suddenly landed, his fist striking towards the large rock lizard, sending it flying with a bang, the large rock lizard immediately fell to the ground and did not move. Although the large rock lizard did not seem to have any injuries on its surface, its internal organs had already been smashed apart.


    "Di Chen?" When Cao Rouer saw that the person who came was actually Di Chen, she was startled, but she did not expect that she would still be able to save his.


    The others looked at Di Chen weirdly, thinking that he, who everyone was mocking before, would actually save them?


    Di Chen did not think too much into it, and said: "These Grand Rock Lizards are very dangerous, let''s kill them first."


    This time, Di Chen did not use a formula at all, but used brute strength to attack the Great Rock Lizards. Don''t think that Di Chen did not know any techniques, because his strength was incomparable to Di Chen in absorbing Demonic beast flesh and blood s, and his fist was fatal.


    A few minutes later, all the large rock lizards were killed by these people. Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief.


    Cao Rouer looked at Di Chen and said: "Di Chen, it''s all thanks to you this time, and that''s right, where is Liu Jingjing, didn''t you go with her?"


    Di Chen didn''t hide anything, "When I met Yuan Feng and Tian, they forcefully took Jingjing away. I don''t know where she went."


    Cao Rouer was startled. She knew the personality of Yuan Feng and Tian, these two were colluding with each other, they were crafty, and if Liu Jingjing was taken away by them, she would not end up well.


    It was at this time that Jiang You asked, "Di Chen, what plans do you have for the future? Do you still want to pluck Vermillion Bird Fruit s?"


    Di Chen nodded his head: "This Vermillion Bird Fruit is born in this area, I have already arrived here, of course I want to take a look."


    Jiang You laughed: "Since we meet each other, let''s move together, how about you join us?"


    "I ¡­" Di Chen wanted to say something.


    This won''t do, "Fang Xin suddenly interrupted:" The five of us are already saturated, we can solve most of the difficulties we face, but if another person comes in, it will be troublesome. Di Chen, we will give you the bodies of these Great Rock Lizards as a form of thanks, but you can''t join us.


    His voice was very direct, and did not give Di Chen any face at all. Actually, this could be understood, this mission was worth one million silver, which meant that everyone could get twenty points, and if Di Chen joined them again, everyone would have to give up some points. Everyone had to kill so many demonic beast before they reached this place, so they were not willing to let Di Chen join.


    Cao Rouer advised: "Di Chen, thank you for saving us earlier, but you should leave the mountain, this place is too dangerous."


    She was also not willing for Di Chen to join them, and the other two also expressed their opinion, not wanting Di Chen to join them.


    Jiang You laughed bitterly. Since the four of them did not agree, he could not say anymore.


    Di Chen originally wanted to reject them, but who would have thought that these people would start objecting before he had even finished speaking. He didn''t say anything else, picked up the body of the Great Rock Lizard, and left by himself.


    Jiang You watched Di Chen''s back until he disappeared, then looked at the crowd and asked: "Di Chen is not weak, why do you all disagree?"


    Fang Xin said calmly: "You saw it just now, he does not have a move, he is just a little stronger. I suspect that he is not a martial artist at all, this kind of person might drag us down, and this person is intentionally acting mysterious, I do not like him."


    Once one reached for the Fate Soul, they would need to use their skills to fight the enemy, and use martial soul to kill them. However, no one had seen Di Chen use his cultivation technique, and no one had seen Di Chen''s Soul Martial Art either, so such a person would always give people a sense of insecurity.


    Cao Rouer said: "I have actually seen Di Chen''s cultivation technique, his cultivation technique is very special, but I have never felt any soul force from Di Chen''s body, when he was unable to fight, and whether or not he had reserved his strength, we do not know, I am not too sure either."


    used the power of a scholar, but warriors could not feel the power of a scholar, so sometimes when Di Chen''s power was exhausted, they did not know, although Di Chen had helped them kill a few Giant Rock Lizards, but who knew if he exhausted his last bit of strength just now to let others see if he could join in?


    Somewhere in the Thousand Monster Mountain, Di Chen smiled bitterly, how could he not know the reason why these people were not willing to join? On one hand, it was because they felt that they were relying on their own abilities to find the Vermillion Bird Fruit, and did not need any outsiders to help them, otherwise they would only give their points away for free, on the other hand, these people did not understand him, but it was fine if Fang Xin did not agree to Di Chen joining, but even Cao Rouer did not agree to let Di Chen be surprised. After all, Di Chen had saved her, but Di Chen did not care.


    This place was already halfway up the mountain, so Di Chen was not afraid of the arrival of ordinary demonic beast. With Demonic King here, even if they had more of them, it would be useless, so it was not Di Chen that was implicating them, but rather they were implicating Di Chen.


    "We''ll talk after we find the Vermillion Bird Fruit," Di Chen said as he paced around. He could recognize the rattan from the Vermillion Bird Fruit at a glance.


    In fact, there were many vines in the Vermillion Bird Fruit''s body, but not every vine would bear fruit. The conditions for a Vermillion Bird Fruit to mature were too harsh.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly saw an Vermillion Bird Fruit vine. He walked over and searched along the vine, but there were no Vermillion Bird Fruit on the vine, which made him feel a little regretful.


    However, there were quite a number of students here. This vine was very obvious, and most likely, someone else had already found it.


    Di Chen continued his search. He had found a lot of vines, but he had not found a single Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    Roar!


    In the distance, demonic beast roars could be heard, and sounds of people fighting could be heard. There were many Demonic King s present, and it was inevitable that there would be battles, so Di Chen ignored them.


    "Oh right," Di Chen suddenly thought of something, that Vermillion Bird Fruit could also work on demonic beast, normally, demonic beast would stay nearby before the fruits are ripe, if he could find them, he would probably be able to find them.

 C98

    There were too many people here, practically every corner had been searched, and even if he was unable to find any Vermillion Bird Fruit s, Di Chen would just walk towards places with fewer people. The places with fewer demonic beast s were easy to find, and along the way, Di Chen saw many martial kings fighting with the Demonic King, the fights were extremely intense and battles could be seen everywhere. This was simply too convenient for Di Chen, with these martial kings fighting with the Demonic King, he would be able to look for Vermillion Bird Fruit s in peace.


    After half an hour, Di Chen arrived at the easternmost area. There were barely any people there anymore, but the demonic Qi around was extremely dense.


    Seeing that there were no traces of a fight, he guessed that there were a lot of people here and the chances of finding one would be higher, but it was also very dangerous.


    Di Chen carefully flipped through every vine. There were quite a number of vines belonging to Vermillion Bird Fruit s, but none of them had any growth of Vermillion Bird Fruit s. After searching for a circle, he continued to go deeper, and the deeper he went, the fewer people there were.


    Roar!


    Di Chen realized that he had already unknowingly entered the deepest part of the Thousand Monster Mountain. No matter how deep he went, he would still be able to see Level 7 and 8 Demonic King s.


    "Another Vermillion Bird Fruit Vine?" This vine was very long, and would most likely have Vermillion Bird Fruit s growing on it. After walking for around ten minutes, he found a red fruit the size of a ping pong ball, and this was the Vermillion Bird Fruit s. Ordinary Vermillion Bird Fruit were only the size of a fingernail, but he never expected that there was actually such a large one here. Looking at its age, it must have been here for at least three or four years.


    "Hmm?" Just as Di Chen was about to walk over, he saw the grass in front of him suddenly move, as if something was moving towards Di Chen''s direction.


    Di Chen did not know what it was, but his expression changed and he subconsciously retreated. The thing stopped and ran back, but it did not seem to have any intention of attacking.


    Di Chen then heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately headed towards the direction of the Vermillion Bird Fruit, but after walking a few steps, the grass in that direction started to move, as though there was something close to Di Chen, so Di Chen could only retreat, and when he reached a certain distance, the thing over there stopped moving.


    "Could it be that this demonic beast does not want me to get close to that Vermillion Bird Fruit?" Di Chen secretly complained. The demonic beast in this place were usually in the Demonic King, he did not have the strength to deal with them. What made Di Chen curious though was why the Demonic King did not attack him, but only scared him away.


    Di Chen was a little hesitant, after thinking for a while, he wrote a "Broken" character, aimed at the grass, and exploded. The grass flew everywhere, revealing a palm-sized white furred squirrel.


    "Is this the demonic beast?" Di Chen''s brows darkened. This was clearly an ordinary demonic beast. How was this some Demonic King?


    Di Chen became bolder and walked towards the Vermillion Bird Fruit. Then, the grass in the distance started to move again towards Di Chen''s direction, but this time, Di Chen was not afraid.


    Hiss!


    Just then, a huge head suddenly scuttled out from the grass. It was actually a black ringed snake King.


    The black ringed snake King flicked his tongue, opened his mouth and bit towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen''s face changed, as he punched the black ringed snake''s head. The black ringed snake''s scales were very hard, so Di Chen''s punch wasn''t able to harm it at all.


    Di Chen could not injure the black ringed snake King with the power of his fist so he did not dare to stay behind any longer. In a hurry, he got up and ran.


    The black ringed snake chased after Di Chen, but it stopped after a while and swam back again. It seemed to be worried that the Vermillion Bird Fruit would be eaten by other demonic beast.


    Di Chen had a face full of lingering fear. This black ringed snake King was a first level Demonic King, how could he be his match, but this Vermillion Bird Fruit was older than him, so Di Chen could only stay and watch.


    "Di Chen, why are you here?" Just then, Cao Rouer and the rest walked over again.


    Fang Xin shot a glance at Di Chen and said: "Earlier, we advised you to go down the mountain, but we didn''t expect that not only did you not go down the mountain, you actually came to this place. You are truly reckless."


    Di Chen could not be bothered to care about Fang Xin. He looked at Cao Rouer and asked: "I came here to try my luck, how did you find this place?"


    Cao Rouer said: "No one has ever come to this area before, I think the chances of finding you here is greater, I never thought that if I met you, there would be a lot of Demonic King here, Di Chen, you should quickly leave."


    Di Chen laughed, he did not intend to leave, but he was complaining in his heart, and prayed that these people would not see that Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    "Look, there''s a Vermillion Bird Fruit there," a man suddenly shouted.


    Di Chen secretly cursed, he did not expect them to discover him, he was afraid that they would fight over it with him.


    Everyone looked in the direction the man was pointing and saw a Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    "So big?" Cao Rouer said in surprise: "Looking at how old this Vermillion Bird Fruit is, it should be several years old already. I never thought that we would have such good luck."


    "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go retrieve your quest. Don''t let anyone else beat you to it."


    A few people were talking about the Vermillion Bird Fruit, but even if they sold it, they would still be able to sell it for quite a sum of money.


    "Wait," Just then, Jiang You suddenly stopped everyone. He looked at Di Chen curiously and asked: "You came here first, did you not notice?"


    Everyone looked at Di Chen curiously, thinking that he definitely noticed it.


    Di Chen said helplessly: "How could such a big Vermillion Bird Fruit not be discovered? But there''s a first rank black ringed snake King there, I was almost eaten by it just now."


    "black ringed snake King?" Upon hearing these words, everyone immediately retreated. All of them were at the ninth level of Life Seizing. Rushing over was simply courting death.


    "Di Chen, why haven''t I sensed any demonic aura from that place? You''re not scaring us on purpose, are you?" A man looked at Di Chen with suspicion.


    Di Chen explained, "The black ringed snake King can hide its presence, but you cannot sense it within ten meters. Furthermore, if it wasn''t for the black ringed snake King, I would have collected it long ago.


    That person disapproved: "Maybe you didn''t even notice there was a Vermillion Bird Fruit, you intentionally said there was a black ringed snake there that wanted to scare us away, and took the opportunity to pick that Vermillion Bird Fruit?"


    Di Chen looked at him speechlessly, but was too lazy to explain to him.


    "You really are lying to us," the man said as if he saw through everything and immediately rushed towards the Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    Jiang You''s face changed. If they wanted to stop him, that person would immediately rush to the location of the Vermillion Bird Fruit. Everyone looked at him in shock, and no one dared to help him.


    "I got it," The man grabbed at the Vermillion Bird Fruit excitedly, but right at that moment, a gigantic head came out from the grass, the black ringed snake King raised his head high, spitting out the tongue of the snake, the tongue of the snake was almost sticking onto the man''s face, the man''s face changed, he turned to run, but just as the black ringed snake King bit down on the man, it actually went back into his stomach, and then it dove back into the grass, its Qi disappearing once again.


    "This, there really is a black ringed snake King ¡­" The others all took in a breath of cold air. Previously, he was still fine, but was swallowed by the black ringed snake King in the blink of an eye?


    "Di Chen," Fang Xin suddenly looked at Di Chen angrily and said: "Why didn''t you stop Xiao Jiang just now?"


    Di Chen was speechless: "I told him earlier that there was a black ringed snake King there, and it was him who did not believe it, who can you blame?"


    Fang Xin said angrily: "Can''t you convince him if he doesn''t believe it? I think that you intentionally made Xiao Jiang think you are lying to him, which is why he impulsively went to pick that Vermillion Bird Fruit. You want to kill him."


    Why did he try to convince him when he didn''t believe me?


    And why should I bother to make him misunderstand? I think it would be better to kill him without telling him.


    Di Chen knew that Fang Xin was obviously trying to push the blame onto him, so he couldn''t be bothered to deal with him.


    Cao Rouer knew that Fang Xin was being impulsive, and was afraid that they would start a dispute. "Now is not the time to be held accountable, what should we do, should we continue to pick that Vermillion Bird Fruit?"


    "Of course," Fang Xin still did not plan to give up, and said: "This Vermillion Bird Fruit has been here for a long time, and its medicinal properties are much stronger than ordinary Vermillion Bird Fruit. If we do not pluck it, we will definitely be swallowed by the black ringed snake King."


    "But this black ringed snake King is not someone we can handle with just his Lifestealer Realm."


    Furthermore, one of them was dead. Jiang You suddenly thought of Di Chen and said: "Di Chen, why don''t you join us?"


    "That''s right," Cao Rouer didn''t object this time and agreed, "Di Chen, your strength is stronger than Xiao Jiang, you should join us."


    Fang Xin calmly looked at Di Chen. He did not object nor agree, but he looked like he agreed.


    Di Chen thought to himself, since you know why I am stronger than the other person, why didn''t you want me to join earlier, but instead wanted me to join you when I was in danger?


    Di Chen laughed: "I''m sorry, I don''t want to die yet, so I also advise you to give up that Vermillion Bird Fruit. It''s not worth losing your life for just a bit of points."


    "Di Chen..." Cao Rouer knew that Di Chen hated him enough to let her leave, so she regretted it a little. If she had known earlier, she would have invited Di Chen to join them.


    Di Chen left without hesitation.


    But at this time, Fang Xin stepped in front of Di Chen and said coldly: "You''ve killed Xiao Jiang, and you want to leave just like that?"


    Did I kill Xiaojiang?


    Di Chen''s face sank: What exactly do you want?


    Fang Xin said seriously: "If Little Jiang is not dead, then we definitely have a chance to obtain that Vermillion Bird Fruit. But since Little Jiang is dead because of you, and our strength is greatly weakened, it would be difficult to obtain another Vermillion Bird Fruit. Since that is your reason, then you naturally have to take responsibility for it.


    If you force me to go pick Vermillion Bird Fruit, you will give me 10 points?

 C99

    Five people from the Lifestealer Realm killing a single Demonic King was already dangerous to begin with, and in the end, this Fang Xin even gave him ten points. It wasn''t just for that price even if Di Chen casually executed a few missions.


    Fang Xin took another step forward to stop Di Chen, and said coldly: "Did I let you go?"


    Di Chen said seriously: "I don''t want to die, if you want to die, don''t pull me."


    Fang Xin snorted: "You killed Little Jiang, making us unable to complete the mission. If you don''t kill this black ringed snake King with us today, you won''t be able to leave."


    Jiang You and Cao Rouer''s faces changed when they heard this, they never thought that Fang Xin actually wanted to force Di Chen to carry out a mission, Di Chen was not someone to be trifled with, but the two of them did not say much, in fact, the two of them wished for Di Chen to participate, since Di Chen did not wish to do so too.


    Di Chen could tell that Fang Xin already had the intent to kill him. He sneered, didn''t even bother to talk to him as he turned to leave.


    "You''re courting death," Fang Xin shot out like an arrow, and smashed his fist towards Di Chen, the heavy wind pressing down like a mountain.


    Di Chen suddenly turned his head, his fist striking towards Fang Xin, and with a bang, his fist collided. This time, both of them did not hold back, and they were forced to take a few steps back.


    Although Di Chen had previously defeated Huang Ting, he did not put him in his heart at all. It was only now that he found out that Di Chen''s strength was far beyond his imagination.


    In reality, Di Chen had not used his formula just now, he had only used the power of a scholar, and had actually given Fang Xin a chance. If he still wanted to attack Di Chen, Di Chen would not hesitate to kill him.


    "You do have some strength. No wonder you''re so arrogant. However, with just that bit of strength of yours, you are nothing in my eyes." Fang Xin still wanted to punch out again.


    The power of the scholar surged inside Di Chen''s body, his fingers were already ready to strike at any time while he was preparing to use the and Spear Arts to kill his opponent.


    However, Jiang You suddenly stepped in front of the two of them, preventing them from speaking: "Since Di Chen is unwilling, then don''t force him."


    Fang Xin scoffed, "Jiang You, what are you blocking me for? This guy killed Little Jiang, and today, if I don''t cripple one of his arms, how can I face Little Jiang?"


    Although he said that he wanted to take revenge for Xiao Jiang, it was actually because Fang Xin didn''t like Di Chen that he wanted to target him.


    Cao Rouer suddenly thought about the rumors in the academy that Di Chen had killed Yu Xiuyuan and the others. Although this matter had not been verified, Yu Xiuyuan had not returned to the Academy yet, so everyone still knew that he was like that. If they were to fight, Fang Xin would be in danger, so they immediately advised: "Fang Xin, do not do anything, Di Chen, I am truly sorry, but you can leave now."


    When she allowed Di Chen to leave, her tone was very cold. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with Di Chen''s decision. ))


    Seeing that Cao Rouer and her group had no choice but to withdraw their spirit energy, Fang Xin coldly looked at Di Chen and said: "This time, I''ll let you go, but if there''s still a next time, I won''t let you go."


    Di Chen could not be bothered to care about Fang Xin, not to mention Fang Xin alone, even if these four people were to go up at the same time, they would still not be Di Chen''s match.


    "But what about the Vermillion Bird Fruit?" His name was Li Feng, who was also at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and he was the weakest amongst the few of them, so he did not have much authority.


    Fang Xin stared at the Vermillion Bird Fruit and thought: "This Vermillion Bird Fruit is extremely valuable, even if we cannot exchange it for as a quest item, we can still sell it, and we can exchange it for quite a bit of money. We need to get it no matter what."


    Jiang You said as his brows furrowed, "But a single black ringed snake king is not something the few of us can handle."


    Fang Xin thought for a while and said: "It''s not that we want to kill the black ringed snake King, we just need to get it. Like this, the black ringed snake that we just got should be right in front of us. Jiang You and I will head over from the front to attract the attention of the black ringed snake King. Li Feng, you head over from the left side, Cao Rouer, you head over from the right side, and leave immediately after getting the Vermillion Bird Fruit."


    Here, Jiang You and Fang Xin were the weakest among the two of them, so they were confident in attracting the black ringed snake King''s attention.


    The few of them looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they agreed. There seemed to be no other way.


    Di Chen had a cold smile on his face when he heard Fang Xin''s words. This Fang Xin was really crafty, but he did not expose him.


    Li Feng came to the left side, Cao Rouer came to the right side, and Fang Xin and Jiang You were right in front of them. The few of them surged with Origin Energy, and then they flew towards the Vermillion Bird Fruit at the same time.


    Suddenly!


    A huge head peeked out from the bushes, but no one expected it to be on the left, near to where Li Feng was.


    "Help," Li Feng said as his face changed. He was initially hoping that Jiang You and Jiang You would attract the black ringed snake, but he never expected that the black ringed snake would actually be in that position.


    The black ringed snake bit onto Li Feng, causing Li Feng to scream out in pain, it looked at Fang Xin and the rest and shouted: "Save me!"


    Jiang You and Cao Rouer were still a little surprised that the black ringed snake had appeared in that position. Both of them wanted to save it, but Fang Xin did not even look at him, and quickly rushed towards the Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    Li Feng felt his heart go cold, were these people not planning to save him?


    He looked at Di Chen again, and Di Chen''s face had a face of mockery. He had long known that the black ringed snake was in that position, and Fang Xin was only using Li Feng as bait.


    The black ringed snake raised its head and swallowed Li Feng into its stomach, then opened its mouth and spat out venom towards Fang Xin and the rest.


    Jiang You punched out with his fist, the wind from his fist transformed into a fierce tiger that pounced towards the poison!


    Some of the the poison splattered onto Jiang You''s body, immediately corroding his flesh. Jiang You screamed in pain and he quickly retreated.


    "I got it," At this time, Fang Xin grabbed the Vermillion Bird Fruit and turned to run, not daring to stay.


    Hiss!


    Seeing the Vermillion Bird Fruit angered on the spot, the black ringed snake King quickly dashed towards Fang Xin and struck him with his snake tail right in the face.


    "Not good," Fang Xin only felt a strong wind blowing towards him, as he hastily sent a fist out to meet the black ringed snake King.


    Bang!


    The strength of the black ringed snake King was extremely strong, Fang Xin''s punch was like hitting a piece of iron, it did not cause any harm to the black ringed snake King at all, and the tail of the black ringed snake King struck onto Fang Xin''s body, directly sending him flying and smashing heavily onto the ground. His bones seemed to have broken, as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "Dammit," Fang said, struggling to stand up. He still wanted to pick up the Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    However, at this time, a white-furred squirrel suddenly scuttled out from the grass. The squirrel bit onto the Vermillion Bird Fruit and ran away. Its speed was extremely fast and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    "My Vermillion Bird Fruit!" Fang Xin saw that his own Vermillion Bird Fruit had been snatched away by a squirrel and shouted anxiously, but at this time, the black ringed snake actually did not chase after the squirrel and instead bit towards him.


    clenched his teeth. Since he was injured, he could only bite the bullet and attack the black ringed snake. Cao Rouer and Jiang You also stepped forward to help him, but how could the three of them be a match for the black ringed snake?


    "Di Chen, help us," Cao Rouer had no other choice this time as she pleaded for help once again.


    Di Chen glanced at Cao Rouer, and said calmly: "If you don''t want to die, then quickly flee, don''t clash head on with that black ringed snake."


    He didn''t have any intentions of saving it, even if he was in danger, Cao Rouer would not save him, so after saying that, he chased after the squirrel.


    Cao Rouer and the other two felt their hearts go cold. How could they dare to stay behind? They quickly headed in different directions, but that black ringed snake only continued to chase after Fang Xin.


    Half an hour later.


    Somewhere in the Thousand Goblins, Cao Rouer, who had escaped from the black ringed snake, reunited with Jiang You at a certain place. However, Fang Xin still had not appeared.


    Cao Rouer continued: "Previously, Fang Xin was the one who harvested the Vermillion Bird Fruit, so the black ringed snake was chasing him relentlessly. I wonder how he is doing now."


    Jiang You scoffed, "This guy killed Li Feng earlier.


    Cao Rouer did not understand what she meant and asked blankly. "Li Feng was swallowed by the black ringed snake, why do you say that?"


    Jiang You laughed coldly: "Do you really think that Fang Xin doesn''t know that the black ringed snake is on the left side? I think he knew from the start that he was deliberately using the weakest Li Feng as bait, and that guy let him go despite knowing that Li Feng was going to die. It''s no wonder Di Chen wasn''t willing to cooperate with him no matter what methods he used earlier on the mission.


    Cao Rouer was shocked, she had never thought about this problem, only now did she understand why Fang Xin wanted Di Chen to join them, she was afraid that Fang Xin had planned to send Di Chen to die, but unfortunately, Di Chen''s strength was much stronger than him, so she had no choice but to send Li Feng to his death.


    Her heart felt more and more regretful, thinking that if she had acted with Di Chen earlier, all of this wouldn''t have happened.


    A few minutes later, Fang Xin finally arrived. He was covered in blood, one of his arms was broken, and he looked to be in a sorry state.


    Seeing that Fang Xin actually survived, Jiang You was a little surprised, thinking that he seemed to have held back his strength previously, since there were really not many Lifestealer Realm that could survive from Demonic King''s mouth.


    Cao Rouer questioned: "Let me ask you, did you intentionally send Li Feng to die earlier?"


    Without hiding anything, he said calmly: "That''s right, I purposely let Li Feng be the bait. You guys also know that there is a black ringed snake King there, if you don''t sacrifice one or two people, how will you be able to get hold of it?"


    "One or two?" Jiang You''s gaze turned cold: "Besides Li Feng, who else do you want to sacrifice?"


    This person must be a person between Cao Rouer and herself. Hearing this, the two of them were so angry that they wanted to fight.


    Fang Xin said calmly: "Is there any use in saying this now, we have not obtained the Vermillion Bird Fruit and we are all injured, I am afraid we cannot stay in the Thousand Monster Mountain anymore, let''s quickly leave."


    He did not care about the killing intent in Jiang You''s and''s eyes, and turned to leave.


    Jiang You and Cao Rouer stared coldly at Fang Xin''s back, they truly had the urge to attack, but in the end, the two of them endured it.

    Di Chen kept up with the white furred squirrel the whole way. It was quick, agile, and small. Di Chen had almost escaped from it several times.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen bellowed, and the power of the scholar in his body surged like a tide, a ripple spread out from Di Chen''s body, causing the surroundings to become motionless, even the floating leaves had stopped, and the squirrel had stopped, but one could still see its eyes moving.


    Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief and slowed down his footsteps. However, just as he was about to walk over slowly, the squirrel suddenly moved, and quickly climbed up a big tree.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen was startled, the squirrel was not locked in place? Furthermore, the squirrel had pretended to be frozen and had waited for him to get careless before suddenly escaping!


    Di Chen immediately used the word "Slash" and shot towards the big tree, with a poof, the big tree fell down, and the squirrel also fell down from the sky. Just as Di Chen wanted to throw the squirrel to grab it, the squirrel suddenly opened its front paws, and glided forward as if it had webbed under the squirrel''s armpits.


    "Just what kind of demonic beast is this for it to be so cunning?" Di Chen thought to himself, this squirrel was only an ordinary demonic beast, but it could actually steal the Vermillion Bird Fruit from right under the eyes of the black ringed snake king, and more importantly, it could dodge his attacks multiple times.


    Di Chen continued to chase after the white furred squirrel. The two of them had been running for an unknown amount of time, but Di Chen did not realize that he had already completely entered into the depths of Thousand Monster Mountain, as there was a high chance that there were level 8 or 9 Demonic King in this place. But in reality, Di Chen had not met a single one, because Di Chen had followed the white furred squirrel for a while.


    "Let''s see how long you can run," Di Chen wrote another ''cut'' and floated towards the squirrel. The squirrel could actually dodge, but there were a few times where it almost died. At the beginning, it had a mocking expression, but after being attacked a few times, it revealed a look of fear.


    Just then, Di Chen saw that the squirrel actually ran onto a big tree. This tree was at least three people thick and the trunk was iron colored.


    Ding!


    The word "cut" was like a knife as it struck the tree trunk. However, the tree trunk only left a shallow cut, and did not break. The squirrel then dove into a hole in the tree trunk.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen was shocked. He had never seen such a sturdy tree, even his own formula s could only scratch out a single crack. One must know that Di Chen''s formula s could destroy other people''s martial soul.


    Di Chen knocked on the tree trunk, which released a metallic sound. He did not know what kind of tree it was, but he could feel that it was extraordinary, and thought that if it was refined into a weapon, it would be extremely powerful.


    But now was not the time to consider trees, Di Chen raised his head and looked at the tree hole, the hole could accommodate at least a baby, but the tree was too tall and there were not too many branches, Di Chen could not climb up, his heart could not help but cry out, he could not climb up and could not cut down the tree, how could he take back the Vermillion Bird Fruit?


    Just then, the squirrel came out of the tree hole again. It seemed to know that Di Chen was not going up, and laughed at him while dancing.


    "You still dare to look down on me?" Di Chen walked around the tree, and then carved some "Broken" characters on it. Although the tree trunk was tough, one could still make out a faint word "Broken" character carved on any part of the tree that he could reach.


    "Using so many formula at once would consume at least 90% of my powers. I think it should be enough to destroy this tree."


    Di Chen laughed, but just as he was about to ignite the ''break'' word, a rustling sound came from the side. Di Chen''s face changed, he had no time to activate the formula, he immediately fled far away and hid in the grass.


    At this time, Di Chen saw a gigantic black ringed snake scuttle out from afar. It was actually the same black ringed snake from before, and he never thought that it would actually find this place. However, the scales on the black ringed snake''s body were slightly damaged, and there were also bloodstains.


    The black ringed snake King climbed up the tree trunk, while the squirrel in the cave was in a panic, but it did not leave the tree, it instead looked in Di Chen''s direction as if it was begging for help.


    "This squirrel is quite human-like," Di Chen said hesitantly. With his current strength, he definitely could not kill this black ringed snake, saving this squirrel was too dangerous.


    The squirrel hopped back and forth on the tree and screamed at Di Chen incessantly, then it took out the Vermillion Bird Fruit from the tree hole and smashed it towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen caught it, but he was not happy. Instead, his expression changed as the black ringed snake climbed down from the tree and walked towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen exclaimed. He immediately made a hand sign and shouted: "Break!"


    Bang


    Following that, a series of explosions came from the tree trunk. Because the black ringed snake was stuck to the tree trunk, these "broken" words were stuck to its body and exploded. No matter how hard the black ringed snake''s scales were, they wouldn''t be able to withstand this series of explosions.


    It was blown away, and a few scales on its body became weak from the explosion. Fresh blood flowed out from its stomach, but it did not die, crawling towards Di Chen.


    "Still not dead?" Di Chen knew that it wouldn''t be easy to kill a Demonic King, even if it was injured.


    Ding! Ding!


    Two long spears struck the place where the black ringed snake scales fell off, causing it to scream in pain. Its body twisted and a tail whip landed on Di Chen''s body, directly sending him flying out and heavily smashing onto a tree.


    The black ringed snake then rushed towards Di Chen again, but this time, it was clearly slower than before, probably because it had lost too much blood and couldn''t last much longer.


    "The power of the scholar has been exhausted," Di Chen cursed inwardly. He had been injured by the black ringed snake just now, so it was impossible for him to kill the black ringed snake with just his brute strength.


    "Oh right, martial soul," Di Chen suddenly remembered that he still had martial soul s, he had never faced any of these martial soul s before. After all, as a warrior who did not have any soul force, using martial soul s was a little burdensome for his body, and Di Chen did not want his own martial spirit of light s to be known by others.


    Di Chen pointed at the center of his brows and beams of light shot out from his forehead. The light was like a sharp sword, it pierced through the trees and the surroundings, instantly lighting up the area, causing people to be unable to open their eyes, and after using the martial soul, he immediately fainted. He did not know what the result would be, he only knew that he had done his best, if he still did not kill the black ringed snake, he would be dead.


    Di!


    Di Chen suddenly felt a sweetness coming from the corner of his mouth. He licked his lips, moved his body, and finally woke up, his eyes slowly opened, only to find that the white furred squirrel was actually standing on his chest, holding onto a leaf with its front claws, and squeezing the juice from the leaf into Di Chen''s mouth. He did not know what leaf it was, but all he felt was a refreshing feeling.


    When the squirrel saw that Di Chen had woken up, it immediately climbed back up the tree, looking at him curiously.


    Di Chen propped himself up from the ground and looked around curiously. Only then did he realize that the surroundings were already riddled with holes, as though they were pierced by needles. As for the black ringed snake, it was lying on the ground with blood all over its body.


    "Is this martial spirit of light that strong?" This was the second time Di Chen used the martial spirit of light, but he did not know how strong it was, but judging from the looks of it, the destructive force was not weaker than normal Martial King Realm.


    Di Chen wanted to prop himself up from the ground, but the moment he moved his body he felt excruciating pain, not because the scholars were exhausted, but because he had used his [martial spirit of light]. He did not expect that using his [martial spirit of light] once would place such a heavy burden on his body.


    "Is the sky already dark?" Di Chen saw that the sky was already dark, and calculated that he had been lying down for at least an hour. It was very dangerous at night, so he could be considered lucky if he was not eaten while lying here for four hours.


    However, Di Chen''s entire body was aching right now, and there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to find a safe place.


    Dong!


    Just then, something smashed onto Di Chen''s head, Di Chen noticed that it was a green fruit, it was about the size of a fist, Di Chen had never seen this fruit before, he raised his head and saw that it was smashed by the squirrel, the squirrel was still eating it.


    Di Chen thought for a while before taking the fruit and eating it. The fruit was very fragrant and the flesh was crispy, he could feel a cold energy enter his body, and he could feel a sense of strength from the fruit.


    "To think that it could actually heal my injuries," Di Chen immediately started to eat big mouthfuls, and very quickly finished all the fruits, his injuries were slightly better, and he could at least walk around.


    Di Chen smiled towards the squirrel and cupped his fists in thanks. He then realized that the Vermillion Bird was still in his bosom and had not been taken away by the squirrel, so he prepared to leave.


    Ji ji!


    Just then, the squirrel called out to Di Chen. Di Chen paused in his steps and curiously looked at the squirrel: "Is there something?"


    These were actually all some spirit flowers and herbs, some of them were extremely rare, and even the Sky Realm Academy did not sell them. The value of these things were not low, and what surprised him was that there were a few Vermillion Bird Fruit inside the cave, although these Vermillion Bird Fruit were not as big as the one in Di Chen''s hand, they were all ripe, and then the squirrel jumped down and climbed onto Di Chen''s shoulder.


    Di Chen said in a daze: "What do you mean, you want to leave with me?"


    The squirrel actually understood Di Chen''s words and nodded.


    Di Chen knew that some warriors could tame spirit beasts to fight for him, but he never thought that there would come a day where he could tame one too.


    "Humans are very dangerous. Do you really want to go?" Di Chen asked curiously.


    The squirrel nodded its head heavily. Di Chen smiled, then picked up the thing on the ground and left with the squirrel. He still did not know what kind of demonic beast this squirrel was, but from its previous actions, it was probably not an ordinary demonic beast.

 C101

    Di Chen stared at the white-furred squirrel for a long time. The white-furred squirrel also stared at Di Chen, very human-like.


    Di Chen poked the squirrel''s round head and laughed: "What do I call you from now on? You are covered with white fur, so it''s easy to call you that."


    What the hell was that?


    The squirrel suddenly extended its claws and scratched Di Chen, then jumped up and down as it screamed. It seemed like it was not satisfied with this name.


    Di Chen pulled the squirrel''s fur and laughed: "I didn''t expect you to have such a temper, then I will call you small fruit."


    The squirrel continued to swipe at Di Chen, but Di Chen was holding onto it and was unable to reach it.


    Di Chen threw it onto his shoulder and laughed: It doesn''t matter, I will call you that from now on.


    The squirrel sat on Di Chen''s shoulder and crossed its front paws over its chest.


    The way back was filled with Demonic King s. Di Chen was only at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, so if he were to meet any Demonic King, he would probably die without a doubt. Fortunately, small fruit seemed to be very familiar with the terrain, and he took Di Chen running all around.


    Di Chen thought that the small fruit seemed to be very familiar with the Thousand Monster Mountain.


    After walking for two hours, they suddenly heard fighting sounds in front of them. Di Chen dove over with his cat body, hid behind a pile of grass, and pushed open the grass to see two men and one woman, they were Yuan Feng, Tian Hu and Liu Jingjing. Currently, the three of them were fighting with a Level 2 Demonic King, Yuan Feng and Tian Ji were also in a good condition, but Liu Jingjing''s body was covered with wounds, their faces looked tired, and it seemed like they had suffered a lot during the journey.


    "These two guys deserve to die, they must have used Jingjing as bait," Di Chen originally wanted to take the chance to save Liu Jingjing, but it seemed like Demonic King would be killed soon enough. Without a chance, he quietly closed the grass and sat on the ground in distress, frowning as he thought of a plan.


    Ji ji!


    small fruit called out twice in confusion.


    Di Chen explained: "I see that lady, she is my friend. This time, the two of us went up the mountain to gather Vermillion Bird Fruit s, but in the end, we were forcefully taken away by those two. I want to save her, but my realm is too low, I am not their opponent."


    After small fruit heard this, he used his left paw to support his right claw. His right claw supported his chin as he walked back and forth like a human, as if he was giving a trump card to Di Chen.


    Di Chen frowned, he thought to himself, what kind of demonic beast is this squirrel, its intelligence can''t even compare to a human''s.


    Ji ji!


    The small fruit shouted twice at Di Chen, and then ran off into the distance. Di Chen did not understand, and stared at it in puzzlement.


    small fruit sniffed around, smelling around, looking around, as though he was looking for something. Suddenly, its eyes lit up, and ran to the front of a Two-coloured Flower, pointing at it as it shouted excitedly at Di Chen.


    "Twin Flowers?" The flower had one black and one white leaf, and the black petal was extremely poisonous. The flower juice could corrode a person''s body, and this kind of normal two life flower could at least corrode someone''s Martial King Realm. The black leaf was normally used to refine poison pills, but the white petal was very spiritual and could be used to concoct poison pills.


    Di Chen carefully plucked the Twin Flower Flower, and said in distress: "This black leaf can be used against Martial Kings, but it seems to be a little difficult to use it on this day and on Yuan Feng."


    Ji ji!


    The small fruit was giving Di Chen another move again!


    Di Chen understood and thought deeply for a while before replying, "This is a good idea. Although it is a bit dangerous, we can go and try.


    Ji ji!


    small fruit raised his head and shouted.


    Yuan Feng and Tian Tian had also used up a lot of their elemental energy after killing the Level 2 Demonic King, so they were completely exhausted. The two of them were in a better condition, the situation for Liu Jingjing was especially serious, she was only at the ninth stage of Life Seizing but was forced by the two of them to fight.


    "The two of you have already searched in the Thousand Monster Mountain for two days but still couldn''t find any Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    Liu Jingjing couldn''t help but become angry when she thought about how the two had used her as bait in the past two days. It was a pity that she wasn''t a match for the two, and she couldn''t escape either.


    Yuan Feng kept the demon corpse and laughed: "What are you being anxious for, it''s only been two days, Vermillion Bird Fruit are so hard to find, do you really think that others can find them in such a short time?"


    "We''re your senior brothers, so what if you help us a little? Why are you so angry?" Tian said in a relaxed manner.


    I was almost killed a few times, but that''s still called a small favor?


    Liu Jingjing stared at the two hatefully, and did not say another word.


    Yuan Feng saw through Liu Jingjing''s thoughts and sneered: "I know you want to find an opportunity to kill us, but you only have Lifestealer Realm after all, and there''s no chance of killing us due to the difference of a whole realm. I advise you not to think like that, otherwise, don''t blame us for being rude, let''s go."


    The two of them had no intention to let Liu Jingjing leave. There were many demonic beast in the Thousand Monster Mountain, and they needed bait. Liu Jingjing was not weak either, making him a suitable bait.


    After walking for about 10 minutes, the two of them suddenly saw a man in front of them. He was excitedly sizing up the Vermillion Bird Fruit in his hands.


    "Di Chen?" Heaven was also stunned. "This guy isn''t dead?"


    Those poisonous wasp s were so powerful that even a martial king of the fifth level would not be able to withstand them. The two of them originally thought that Di Chen had died, but they didn''t expect that not only was he not dead, he had actually found a Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    Yuan Feng stared at Di Chen greedily, and laughed: "I really don''t know if this Di Chen is lucky or if we are lucky."


    Seeing that Di Chen was not dead, Liu Jingjing was pleasantly surprised and worried, thinking that if Di Chen obtained the Vermillion Bird Fruit, he would be snatched away by Yuan Feng again, and even he himself would be in danger.


    Di Chen seemed to have also realized that it was Tian Hu and Yuan Feng. His expression slightly changed as he hurriedly withdrew his Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    The three of them walked over and laughed: "Di Chen, I never thought that you were actually still alive, I have underestimated you."


    Di Chen pretended to be calm: "I was still waiting for Senior Brother''s 50 points, how could he die?"


    Yuan Feng could tell that Di Chen was pretending, and said: "Even if you want to attract those poisonous wasp, it''s still considered a contribution, so 50 points naturally wouldn''t be a problem. Oh right, I thought I saw a Vermillion Bird Fruit in your hands just now, how about it?"


    Di Chen feigned ignorance: "Senior Brother, you must be seeing things. This Vermillion Bird Fruit is hard to find, how could I have such good luck?"


    "Di Chen, it''s fine if you don''t want to show us, but what does it matter if you lied to us? I hate it when people lie to me the most, do you not trust me?"


    Di Chen did not trust the two of them, but he could not say much, and gave them an excuse to attack.


    Yuan Feng snorted: "Earlier, we asked you to lure away that poisonous wasp because we trusted your strength, we believed in you, but you refused to believe in us, Di Chen, you are too much, since that is the case, don''t blame us for being rude, hand the Vermillion Bird Fruit over."


    Letting me attract the poisonous wasp is just sending me to my death, how can it become your trust in me?


    This was the first time Di Chen had seen such a shameless person. It was one thing for him to send himself to his death, but now he was using this matter as an excuse to steal his Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    Liu Jingjing shook her head slightly, signalling to Di Chen not to disobey the two of them. Di Chen then took out the Vermillion Bird Fruit and threw it over to the two of them.


    Tian Yun took the Vermillion Bird Fruit and said excitedly: "That''s more like it. We are seniors, so of course we have to trust each other a little more. It''s not like I''m going to steal your things, but ¡­"


    Tian Yu paused, and then changed the topic and laughed: "You are just using the Lifestealer Realm, and the Vermillion Bird Fruit in your hands is too dangerous, I''m afraid it will be taken away by someone else, and even if you are worried about your life, we senior cannot watch as you fall into danger. How about this, we will temporarily keep it for you, and when we get to the mountain, we will return it to you, what do you say?"


    How could Di Chen not know what their goal was? He said angrily, "Are you saying that once we get down the mountain, you will help me hand in my mission and temporarily keep the points for me as well?"


    Yuan Feng''s face turned gloomy: Di Chen, although we are stronger than you, if others were to find out that we have Vermillion Bird Fruit s, they would still be in danger. How can you still speak like that when we risk our lives to help you?


    With that, the two of them turned and left.


    "F * ck," Di Chen already knew that the two would find an excuse to get his Vermillion Bird Fruit, but when he heard such a shameless excuse, he couldn''t help but scold them.


    Di Chen said anxiously: "You have already taken the Vermillion Bird Fruit, Liu Jingjing can give it back to me now."


    "Still?" "Liu Jingjing is our Junior Sister and not your goods. Why would you say such a thing? Furthermore, we are protecting her. Is it not safe for her to follow us?"


    Liu Jingjing said angrily: "You guys used me as bait. I almost died several times, you call this protecting me?"


    "There are a lot of Demonic King nearby. If it wasn''t for us, would you be able to make it here?"


    Liu Jingjing said angrily: "I was moving together with Di Chen in the first place, how could Di Chen be alright? I do not need your protection. Since you have taken the Vermillion Bird Fruit, you can go down the mountain. You do not need me as a bait anymore. "


    "Liu Jingjing, we have good intentions for protecting you, why are you still not grateful?"


    Speaking of which, his elemental energy gushed out as though he had thoughts of killing Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing stared at the two and did not say a word. It seemed that she was determined to not follow the two and not leave.


    At this time, Yuan Feng blocked the sky and said: "Forget it, we have already gotten the Vermillion Bird Fruit. Don''t waste time."


    The two of them had already stayed in Thousand Monster Mountain for two days, and it was hard to guarantee that someone else would obtain the Vermillion Bird Fruit. Although killing Liu Jingjing and Di Chen was not difficult, but it was troublesome, as the two of them were injured, they did not want to waste time, and thus the heavens gave up on them killing Di Chen. They coldly looked at her, and left together with Yuan Feng.

 C102

    Di Chen was really afraid that the two would take action now, but seeing that they had left, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    Seeing that Di Chen was not heading down the mountain, Liu Jingjing asked curiously: "Di Chen, where are you bringing me to?"


    Di Chen said anxiously: "Don''t say anything, I poisoned the Vermillion Bird Fruit and they will definitely chase after us."


    Liu Jingjing was startled, she would definitely not poison the Vermillion Bird Fruit for no reason, she was also a smart Girl, and quickly understood the whole story. must have definitely seen Yuan Feng and Tian Hu, so they found out that he was a Vermillion Bird Fruit, and just tried to poison the Vermillion Bird Fruit in advance, so they tried to snatch it away. Liu Jingjing laughed, thinking that Di Chen was really a cunning person, and previously, when she saw Di Chen''s flustered and exasperated look, she really thought that it was a coincidence that Di Chen was here.


    That was true, when Di Chen found a Vermillion Bird Fruit, he was coincidentally seen by Yuan Feng, how could there be such a coincidence?


    "That''s right," Liu Jingjing asked curiously. "What kind of poison is it in the end?"


    Di Chen said: "It''s a Two-coloured Flower, I previously dripped the poison from the black petal on the Vermillion Bird Fruit, but I smeared the juice from the white petal on my hand in advance."


    The juice of the black petal had a strong ability to rot, once touched, it would slowly seep into the blood through the pores, this required a process, previously, Yuan Feng and Tian Ji did not leave Di Chen''s side because they were worried that the poison would act up earlier, if it did, they would not let Di Chen go so easily. The good thing was that Di Chen had taken Liu Jingjing away before the Twin Flower''s poison did.


    Liu Jingjing said in a daze, "The Twin Flower, Black and White, is very rare. How did you find them?"


    Di Chen pointed to his own chest and looked at Di Chen with suspicion. At this time, a round head popped out of Di Chen''s chest, which was precisely the small fruit.


    Liu Jingjing was speechless when she saw small fruit, "What kind of demonic beast is this, to actually become so human? Di Chen, your luck is really good."


    Although the small fruit was not strong, he was naturally cunning and was very intelligent. His growth value was actually even higher than Bing Tong''s bloodhound.


    Di Chen was already quite a distance away from them, but they could still hear the screams. From the strength of the poison, it could be seen that the two of them would definitely catch up to him, causing Di Chen and Di Chen to immediately increase their pace.


    "My hand ¡­" Not long after Yuan Feng left, a heart-wrenching pain came from the center of his palm. Only then did he realise that the flesh of his right palm had turned into thick water, and even his bones could be seen.


    Both of his hands had turned into thick water, and even the bones in his right hand had melted, releasing a terrible stench. But the amount of poison was not much, and only corroded their hands.


    "It must have been Di Chen who did it," the Heavens also suddenly thought of the Vermillion Bird Fruit, he took it out and discovered that the Vermillion Bird Fruit was already rotten, so he threw the Vermillion Bird Fruit on the ground and shouted angrily: "This guy was actually poisoned on the Vermillion Bird Fruit!"


    Yuan Feng quickly understood that Di Chen must have found a Vermillion Bird Fruit on purpose, and used it as an opportunity to poison him. The two didn''t suspect anything even when Di Chen had been so angry earlier.


    The two of them had not been separated for long, and they were both at Martial King Realm as well. Since Di Chen and Liu Jingjing were only at Lifestealer Realm, it would not be difficult for them to chase up to the two of them given their speed. A few minutes later, the two of them saw that Di Chen and Liu Jingjing were not far in front of them.


    "Di Chen..." Yuan Feng crazily roared, his killing intent rising.


    "So fast?" Initially, Di Chen thought that it would take at least ten minutes for these two fellows to catch up with him, but they haven''t even arrived in ten minutes.


    Yuan Feng threw a punch out, a gust of wind swept towards Di Chen, all the trees in the surroundings rose up from the ground, like a sandstorm.


    "So powerful," Di Chen cursed inwardly. The two were more than ten metres apart, but the wind from Yuan Feng''s fist could spread to this place, so he was afraid that he would not be able to dodge it. Di Chen quickly wrote the word "spear" to welcome the incoming wind.


    As the word "spear" was flying through the air, it quickly extended and shot forward like a long spear.


    Puff!


    The spear shot into the wind and instantly dissipated. Although the wind had weakened, its power was still strong, and directly blew Di Chen and Liu Jingjing away.


    At this time, Tian leaped up and threw a punch as well. A huge fist shadow descended from the sky like a mountain. It said in a stern voice, "Let''s see how you will withstand it this time. You guys can die."


    Di Chen''s expression changed, this kind of might was impossible to withstand with just his "spear" formula, moreover, he did not have the time to use his "spear" formula, if he was hit by this, he would definitely die.


    "Di Chen, move aside," Liu Jingjing took a step forward and tapped on the center of her brows.


    Pfft!


    The lightning struck the fist shadow with a crackling sound, streaks after streaks of lightning scattered out like silver snakes, the entire space turned into a silver white color, but just one bolt of lightning was unable to stop the fist shadow. Liu Jingjing released her martial soul, the fist shadow became smaller and smaller, but Liu Jingjing''s face became paler and paler, this berserk using of the martial soul would cause her martial soul to dissipate, but she was still clenching her teeth and persevering.


    Di Chen looked at his with a face full of fear: "Jingjing, quickly stop."


    Liu Jingjing did not stop, she still released her lightning, and after a while the fist shadow finally dissipated, Liu Jingjing also fell to the ground weakly, her body as soft as noodles, her face as white as paper, looking extremely tired.


    Di Chen supported Liu Jingjing and asked in shock: "How are you?"


    Liu Jingjing said weakly: "My martial soul is crippled, let''s go."


    Di Chen saw that Liu Jing was currently weak and had no breath left. She didn''t even have the strength to walk, as she quickly carried Liu Jingjing and ran.


    "This Liu Jingjing''s martial soul is actually a natural-type lightning bolt," It was only now that Tian Luo had seen Liu Jingjing using her martial soul before, and she realized what her martial soul was now. She was a little surprised in her heart, No wonder this Liu Jingjing didn''t have many opponents within the Lifestealer Realm, as lightning was one of the stronger natural-type martial soul, and hard to cultivate.


    Although the lightning martial soul was strong, Liu Jingjing had exhausted his martial soul but it was still only able to block Heaven''s Will attack.


    "Trying to run?" Sky also saw that Di Chen was about to escape while holding Liu Jingjing and smashing his fist out, a huge fist shadow exploded behind Di Chen, forming a huge pit, with grass, wood, and rocks flying everywhere. Once again, Di Chen was flipped over, and Liu Jingjing also tumbled down onto the ground.


    Di Chen was blown into a bloody mess. Luckily he was far away from the explosion, so his life was not in danger. He hurriedly carried Liu Jingjing and ran, but his footsteps were staggered and he was obviously slower than usual.


    "Di Chen..." Liu Jingjing buried her head into Di Chen''s chest, and said weakly: "Don''t worry about me, hurry up and run."


    Di Chen did not speak, and continued to run with all his might.


    A fist landed beside Di Chen, and knocked him over a few times, making him into a miserable state. It was as if they had fallen into madness, and did not have any plans to kill Di Chen right away.


    After fleeing in a sorry state for three minutes, Di Chen finally exhausted all of his energy. He was tripped on a vine and fell to the ground, unable to move. His entire face was covered in blood, his eyes were completely bloodshot, the entire sky turned red, while Liu Jingjing also flew out, unconscious.


    Tian Hu and Yuan Feng rushed to the front of Di Chen, who was stepping on his chest, saying in a sinister voice: "Di Chen, run. I''ll see how you can still run."


    Di Chen laughed weakly: "I don''t need to run anymore."


    "Are you finally giving up on resisting? I was kind enough to help you keep the Vermillion Bird Fruit, but you actually poisoned me. Do you think you deserve to die?"


    Di Chen mocked: "You''re such a hypocrite, we all know that you only want to steal my Vermillion Bird Fruit, there''s no one else here, why would you say such words."


    The Heavens also clenched his fists, but his fists were eerily white, and he looked very terrifying. "You''re right, there''s no need to say such words to you. Die for me."


    Saying that, he punched towards Di Chen, but just as his fist was about to land, his body suddenly stopped, the fist stopped a few inches away from Di Chen.


    "What''s going on?" Tian Suo''s body seemed to be restrained by a surge of energy. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t move.


    "My body is no longer moving," Yuan Feng shouted in shock, he suddenly looked at Di Chen: "What did you do?"


    Di Chen pointed around and laughed: "You guys should be the ones dying."


    Yuan Feng and Tian Tian also looked around, only then did they realise that the tree trunks around them were covered with the word "fix" and "spear", the two of them suddenly recalled that Di Chen had already used this move when he was attracting the poisonous wasp and could freeze the poisonous snake. The two of their faces changed, they now knew why Di Chen did not go down the mountain previously, but instead fled towards this direction.


    The two of them gritted their teeth and struggled, their bodies faintly trembling. After all, they were still at the Martial King Realm and Di Chen was only at the eighth level of the Scholar Realm.


    "There''s no time," Di Chen said loudly as he formed a seal, "Spear!"


    "Whiz!"


    At this time, two pikes shot out from the tree trunk, and when Yuan Feng and Tian Ji were able to move, the two pikes had already pierced through the two people''s bodies, causing blood to splatter all over the place. The two of them spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately collapsed onto the ground, with large amounts of fresh blood pouring out of their bodies.


    Seeing that, Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and laid down weakly on the ground. Just now, he had used most of his scholar power on the, while the rest of the scholar power on the Spear Arts, he had already used up all his strength and could not even move.

    small fruit came out from Di Chen''s chest, holding a piece of Spirit Grass with his claws and stepping on Ye Puti''s face, he squeezed the juice from the leaves into Di Chen''s mouth and then looked at Di Chen in a daze, hissing twice.


    It turned out that his aching body was more comfortable. Her head, Liu Jingjing, said weakly: "I''m fine, go save her."


    small fruit took out another piece of Spirit Grass and ran towards Liu Jingjing, squeezing the juice into her mouth. It was four hours later before Liu Jingjing woke up.


    "Di Chen..." I think his body is too weak, and he can''t get up at all. small fruit ran to Liu Jingjing''s back, held back his face and used all his strength to push her up from the ground. Then, she jumped back into Di Chen''s chest and sat down.


    Liu Jingjing saw that Di Chen''s body was covered in blood, and thought of how Di Chen had used his body to protect him, and asked worriedly: "Di Chen, are you alright?"


    Di Chen said weakly: "I''m fine. I still have some Spirit Grass in my arms.


    At this time, he thought about Qin Suer, thinking that if only she was here, she could easily heal her injuries.


    Only then did Liu Jingjing heave a sigh of relief. She then noticed the corpses of Tian Luo and Yuan Feng on the other side. She asked in shock, "You killed them?"


    "Yes," Di Chen said as he panted. "I had set up the formula here a long time ago, so I intentionally lured them over here."


    It was only then that Liu Jingjing noticed the words engraved on the trees around him, and said speechlessly: "You are bold, they are still Martial Kings, if you can''t kill them, we will die."


    Killing a Martial King was very dangerous, Di Chen had previously exhausted his powers as a scholar to barely stop the two of them for two seconds, if Di Chen was slightly weaker, or if they were not injured, Di Chen was not able to kill them, it would have been different.


    Di Chen was also somewhat afraid, and said with a wry smile: "I can''t do anything either, who asked them not to return you to me."


    Give it back to you?


    Liu Jingjing said snappily: "What do you mean by returning me to you? It''s not like I''m yours."


    Di Chen laughed: "A slip of the tongue, I just feel that you are very dangerous to the two of them, if I don''t kill them, you will die in their hands sooner or later."


    Liu Jingjing was startled. She knew that Di Chen took the risk to save her, but she was a little surprised that Di Chen did not care about his life. Earlier, she told Di Chen to let go of her and let him escape by himself, but Di Chen did not agree.


    But Liu Jingjing did not ask these questions, she was afraid that the answer was not what she wanted to hear, so she kept silent.


    After resting for a while and finally recovering some energy, Liu Jingjing helped Di Chen up and sat down against a tree. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked: "I heard from the people in the academy that Shang Yu was your fiancee?"


    Di Chen nodded. "That''s right, we grew up together, and since our families were very close, they arranged marriage for us."


    Liu Jingjing muttered: "What age is it now, why would there be a family betrothal ceremony? What if all of you dislike each other?"


    Her tone of voice sounded like she was very unhappy, but in reality, it was normal for the Martial Region Continent family to arrange marriage for the children of the family for their own benefits.


    Di Chen did not understand what Liu Jingjing meant, and replied in a daze: "Nope, we like each other, and will get married after our cultivation succeeds."


    Liu Jingjing stared blankly at him, before replying with an "oh". She did not say anything else, so it was unknown as to what she was thinking.


    After resting with his eyes closed, he finally regained the ability to move after a few hours had passed. He took out the things that he had found in Heaven and Yuan Feng, the two of them had plenty of medicinal pellets, demon corpses, Spirit Grass''s strange flowers, and the most valuable thing was that girl''s flower. All of these things together could be sold for at least eight million silver taels, adding the fact that the two of them already had two million silver taels, a total of ten million silver taels, so it would be worth a thousand points.


    Di Chen said excitedly: "A Martial King is indeed richer than our Lifestealer Realm, it''s a pity that these two are dead, and the points in their school badges cannot be taken out."


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Don''t be too greedy, killing the two of them will earn you a lot."


    Di Chen said with distress: "But I want to exchange for the Heaven''s Birds, I only have three hundred points right now, I''m still far from being able to do so."


    Liu Jingjing knew that Di Chen was missing the Sky Evolution Brush at the moment, so she thought for a while before saying, "How about this, we can exchange all of these things for points when we get back. I''ll give you as much as you lack."


    Di Chen stared blankly for a moment, then rejected: "How can that be? Points are the most important thing to the students of our Sky Realm Academy, how can I take your points?"


    Liu Jingjing squinted her eyes and laughed: "You saved my life. Don''t tell me my life isn''t as important as my points?


    Di Chen was also not too familiar with Liu Jingjing, so he was embarrassed to ask for her points. However, Di Chen really wanted that Heaven Exploring Brush too much, so he nodded in the end.


    The contents of the book were obscure and hard to understand. Even if Di Chen wanted to understand it, he would have to flip through a large number of manuals first before being able to understand it, but he did not plan to read the book. The lesson he learned from the¡¶ Heaven''s Mandate¡· would easily affect his comprehension of the book, so in the future, he could continue to read the book.


    The times had changed, the ideas of the ancient people did not match the development of this era, and could not be trusted fully. Di Chen wanted to write his own books when there was a chance in the future.


    Liu Jingjing saw that Di Chen was fully focused on copying the books and taking out the pills to recuperate his spirit energy, after four hours, his powers as a scholar had recovered to about seventy to eighty, Liu Jingjing''s spirit energy had also fully recovered. Although the two of them were still weak, but after encountering the demonic beast, they had the strength to fight, so they could support each other as they walked down the mountain.


    It had been almost three days since the two entered Thousand Monster Mountain, and it was possible that more than two people had obtained Vermillion Bird Fruit s in these three days, so their speed was not fast, adding on to the fact that small fruit was leading the way, they did not encounter any dangers along the way, so they chatted and laughed, but at least they were at ease.


    Halfway up the mountain, Di Chen realized that there were still many people searching the mountain. It seemed that they had not given up hope yet.


    "Has no one found the Vermillion Bird Fruit yet?" Di Chen stared blankly for a moment, then randomly asked someone, and surprisingly, no one found the Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    There were many demonic beast in the mountain, and they were very important to the demonic beast as well. Most likely, they would be eaten by the demonic beast as soon as they bore fruit, so how would they wait for them to retrieve them? Furthermore, these people were only searching halfway up the mountain, they had not entered the deep mountains.


    Although Di Chen''s expression was calm on the surface, he was secretly happy in his heart upon hearing these words. She and Liu Jingjing immediately quickened their pace and arrived at the foot of the mountain a few hours later.


    "Liu Jingjing..." At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the side.


    Liu Jingjing turned around and saw a handsome man with long black hair. Her expression darkened: "Yang Yue, what''s the matter?"


    The person called Yang Yue was Martial King Realm, his clan had some power in the imperial government, and had always been pursuing Liu Jingjing. Liu Jingjing hated this person, but because of his identity, it was not good for him to offend him.


    Yang Yue knew that Liu Jingjing hated herself, but he did not mind. She continued to stick to it and laughed: "It''s fine, I just saw that you seemed to be injured, so I came over to ask."


    He glanced at Di Chen, and seeing that Di Chen only had Lifestealer Realm s, he retracted his gaze and laughed: "How about I send you down the mountain?"


    "No need," Liu Jingjing said casually as she pulled Di Chen away.


    However, at this time, he had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at Di Chen and said: "Just let me take care of Junior Sister Liu Jingjing. There''s no need for you to stay here, you should go first."


    Saying that, he slapped Di Chen''s arm away, wanting to take Liu Jingjing''s hand.


    Liu Jingjing took a step back, and said with slight anger: "I already said there''s no need, it''s good enough for me and Di Chen."


    Yang Yue stared at Liu Jingjing for a while with some anger, then pointed at Di Chen and asked: "Did he force you to go with him? Was your injury caused by him?"


    His gaze then fell on Di Chen, and coldly said: "How dare you, even force Jingjing, to actually harm her?"


    This was equivalent to releasing our energy onto Di Chen''s head.


    Liu Jingjing angrily defended Di Chen: "He didn''t force me, I was the one who asked him to do the mission with me this time, and also, my injury wasn''t caused by him."


    Yang Yue did not believe his words and forcefully pulled Liu Jingjing behind him: "Jingjing, you do not have to be afraid of him. He is just at the Lifestealer Realm level, I am at the second level of the Martial King level now, it''s more than enough to deal with him ¡­"


    Then, he looked at Di Chen and snorted: "You dare injure Jingjing, you''re simply courting death."


    As he said that, he punched Di Chen''s body. This punch was very easy and was also very strong.


    Liu Jingjing quickly shook herself off and ran over to help Di Chen up. She asked worriedly, "How are you?"


    Di Chen looked at Yang Yue with hatred. This guy was truly shameless, Liu Jingjing had said that her injuries had nothing to do with him, yet he still found an excuse to attack him.


    Liu Jingjing was furious and anxious, she looked at Yang Yue and roared: "Yang Yue, are you done yet, I told you that my injury had nothing to do with him, he did not force me, what exactly do you want."


    No matter what Liu Jingjing said, Yang Yue insisted on not believing it. She said seriously: "Jingjing, do you have some weakness in his hands that you have no choice but to protect him. How about this, I will help you kill him."


    He took a step towards Di Chen, boundless spirit force surging out, he actually wanted to kill Di Chen, but just as he was about to punch out, he stopped in his steps, raised his head and looked up the mountain.


    There were a lot of people rushing down from the mountain. Previously, many of them found a Vermillion Bird Fruit halfway up the mountain, but now, these people all wanted to be the first to submit their mission. Only the first to submit their mission would have points, and after that, it would be too late.

 C104

    "Jingjing, I am truly sorry, these people have all obtained the Vermillion Bird Fruit, I cannot let them complete the mission first, so I will be leaving first."


    Yang Yue had previously said that Di Chen would hurt Liu Jingjing and had to protect her safety, but when he found out that there was someone who could complete the mission ahead of him, he did not hesitate to abandon Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing turned around and saw a lot of people rushing down the mountain, as though they were running, and said in shock: "No one found the Vermillion Bird Fruit just now, why did so many people find it all of a sudden?"


    Di Chen stood up and said: "We cannot let them hand in the mission before us, or else we will have wasted our time searching for the Vermillion Bird Fruit."


    In order to find this Vermillion Bird Fruit, Di Chen had suffered a lot, but unfortunately, there was only one person who could complete the mission, which was the reason why Zhao Fusheng was so wise.


    Liu Jingjing laughed bitterly: "But they are all at the Martial King Realm, and are stronger than us, so I am afraid that we will not be able to rush to the Zhao Mansion in front of them."


    "Sure," Di Chen surged with the power of the scholars. The word "freeze" on the tree turned into ripples and spread out.


    "My body, what''s going on?"


    "Who did this?"


    All of them cried out in surprise, but their bodies seemed to have been restrained by an invisible force. The stronger ones could still move their arms, but they couldn''t move at all.


    "Hurry up," Di Chen had carved a large number of ''fix'' words on the mountain before, just in case something like this happened. It was just that he did not expect that so many people would find the Vermillion Bird Fruit at the same time, and stop these people from using up all of the power in their bodies.


    Liu Jingjing and Di Chen immediately headed down the mountain. Di Chen''s wouldn''t be able to hold on for long.


    Everyone saw that Di Chen and Liu Jingjing could still move, and immediately understood what was going on. These two fellows actually locked themselves in place to give him time to submit his mission?


    "Di Chen, what you''re doing is too shameless."


    "Let go of us quickly, or else I''ll cripple your martial soul when I get back."


    Everyone cursed out loud. They had finally obtained the Vermillion Bird Fruit, but they were stopped by someone with Lifestealer Realm and could not deliver the mission in time. How could these Martial Kings not be angry?


    Di Chen did not care about them, when he passed by Yang Yue, he stopped, and stared at him playfully.


    Yang Yue tried to move his body, but it would be difficult for him to struggle free. His face darkened: "What do you want?"


    Di Chen laughed and said: "I have always been a person who avenges himself no matter what, when you heavily injured me just now, I will take your things as compensation."


    As he said that, he took out all the things in Yang Yue''s bosom. There was a money pouch, there were also many miraculous pills and medicines, and also the Spirit Grass that he picked up from the mountains this time. Di Chen didn''t even look at how many he had, he just stuffed them all into his robes and ran.


    "Di Chen, I''m going to kill you," Yang Yue shouted angrily, that was all of his wealth, he had spent a few years to save all of it, but now Di Chen had snatched it away?


    Di Chen knew that he could not hold these people for long, and increased his pace with Liu Jingjing. An hour later, they arrived outside the Zhao manor, and just as they arrived, Di Chen noticed that the Martial Kings had also rushed over, so Di Chen quickly ran into the Zhao manor. He said that he wanted to hand in his mission, and a Attendant brought Di Chen to the great hall to see Zhao Fusheng.


    At the Zhao Family.


    It had already been three days and no one had brought back Vermillion Bird Fruit. Zhao Fusheng actually wasn''t in a rush, he would receive a letter everyday. No one knew what was written on the letter, and Zhao Fusheng would smile inwardly whenever he finished reading it.


    "Grandfather." Zhao Waner walked over: "This Vermillion Bird Fruit is hard to find. Only by entering the deep mountains can one find it.


    Zhao Fusheng received another letter, and laughed: "Someone has found him, he is on his way here right now."


    Zhao Waner knew that Zhao Fusheng had sent people to monitor the students of the Sky Realm Academy, and curiously asked: "Who is it, could it be Yuan Feng or Yang Yue?"


    These two were the most outstanding Martial King Realm experts, with the strongest strengths, thus, they had the greatest chance of acquiring Vermillion Bird Fruit s. Zhao Waner immediately thought of them.


    Zhao Fusheng smiled mysteriously: "You will know in a while."


    Zhao Waner had a strange expression, thinking, why is Grandfather acting mysterious, could it be that something interesting happened in Thousand Monster Mountain this time?


    "Master, someone has finished their task. Where are we waiting for you in the hall?"


    At this moment, the butler walked in.


    Zhao Fusheng laughed, then looked at Zhao Waner: "Wan''er, didn''t you want to know who got the Vermillion Bird Fruit first, you''ll know very soon."


    Zhao Waner curiously followed Zhao Fusheng to the great hall, and the two people that entered her sight were actually Di Chen and Liu Jingjing. Zhao Waner had some impression of the two of them, they were two very smart people, but their realms were relatively low.


    Di Chen stood up and cupped his fists: "Old Master Zhao, I''ve brought back the Vermillion Bird Fruit that you wanted."


    He glanced at Liu Jingjing, and Liu Jingjing immediately took out a Vermillion Bird Fruit the size of a fingernail and placed it on the table.


    Zhao Waner picked up the Vermillion Bird Fruit and curiously looked at it, then said in surprise: "It really is a mature Vermillion Bird Fruit, your luck is quite good, those martial kings were not able to find it."


    Without even looking at the Vermillion Bird Fruit, Zhao Fusheng gestured for Di Chen to sit down. Then he laughed: "You guys have three Vermillion Bird Fruit, but you want to use the worst to please me?"


    "Three?" Zhao Waner was shocked: "You found so many Vermillion Bird Fruit?"


    and Liu Jingjing looked at each other. Previously, Di Chen found one of them to be the oldest Vermillion Bird Fruit, and later on, he found two at the small fruit''s place, one of them refined the poison to kill Yuan Feng and the other two, leaving behind two. The one Di Chen gave to Zhao Fusheng was precisely the one who snatched it away from Yang Yue.


    Liu Jingjing immediately understood what was going on and frowned: You have been sending people to monitor Di Chen and me?


    Zhao Waner laughed, "You two think too highly of yourselves. My grandfather is not only monitoring the two of you, he has also sent people to monitor the people who are coming up the mountain. We know everything that happened in the mountain."


    Zhao Fusheng continued: "For example, you killed two people from the Martial King Realm and stole their things."


    Di Chen was startled, but he thought that it was no wonder that someone seemed to be following him. He had already guessed that the Vermillion Bird Fruit mission had been revealed on purpose, and hearing his words, he became even more sure that it was him, but he still did not know what Zhao Fusheng''s motive was.


    Di Chen thought for a while, "Since you have the ability to send people to spy on us, then it means that you have the ability to gather Vermillion Bird Fruit yourself. It looks like this Vermillion Bird Fruit''s mission is just a pretense, why did you do this?"


    Zhao Fusheng did not answer directly, but asked back, "Do you know the Famous Sword Academy?"


    Di Chen nodded his head: "One of the three academies in Martial Region Continent, with a name similar to the Sky Realm Academy, in Spirit State City ¡­"


    suddenly understood and was shocked: "You are from the Famous Sword Academy?"


    Zhao Fusheng did not hide anything and nodded: "That''s right, I am the Vice Principal of Famous Sword Academy."


    Di Chen and Liu Jingjing looked at each other, the two knew that the Zhao Family was one of the big clans of the Millennium City, and had lived here for generations. They never thought that the master of the Zhao Family would be the vice principal of the Famous Sword Academy, as the journey between Spirit State City and the Millennium City was over two months.


    But why would the Vice Principal of the Famous Sword Academy entrust this mission to him?


    Zhao Fusheng saw that Di Chen was still confused, and explained: "The three great academies of Martial Region Continent will hold a competition every few years, and the next competition will be a year later. I have given a mission in your Sky Realm Academy to see the strength of all of you students, but I do not know who will carry out this mission, so I simply revealed the mission and let you all personally come to me to receive it, this way I can send people to monitor you guys and observe your strength, which will benefit the competition a year later."


    Di Chen suddenly realized that Zhao Fusheng was originally preparing for the competition of the three great academies in a year. From the looks of it, Zhao Fusheng had more than one mission in Sky Realm Academy, and it would be a higher level mission.


    After all, the competition between the three great academies was limited to Lifestealer Realm.


    Liu Jingjing asked doubtfully, "Are you not afraid that we will tell the academy what you have just told us?"


    Zhao Fusheng laughed: "Actually, not only our Famous Sword Academy, the other two academies would also do the same. Everyone is well aware of each other, and even if they knew, they would turn a blind eye to it."


    thought that since the Three Great Academies had not competed twice already, Famous Sword Academy had always stealthily given the Sky Realm Academy some missions to observe the strength of the students, it was likely that the Sky Realm Academy knew about it, and did not need him to say anything further, just that Di Chen did not understand why Zhao Fusheng would tell him these things, if he were to know about the missions that he would not give them in the future, how would the Sky Realm Academy observe the strength of the students?


    But Di Chen did not care, since he was not interested in the competition between the three academies, he said: "Old Master Zhao, we have already brought back this Vermillion Bird Fruit, your mission does not have any requirements for the age of the Vermillion Bird Fruit."


    Zhao Fusheng waved his hand, and a butler handed over a purse to Di Chen, and laughed: "You are right, there is a million silver inside, which is enough for you to exchange for a hundred points."


    Di Chen put away his money pouch, cupped his fists and smiled: "Thank you, Jingjing, let''s go."


    "Wait," Zhao Fusheng called out to Di Chen.


    Di Chen stopped and asked curiously: "Is there anything else for Old Master Zhao?"


    Zhao Fusheng was silent for a moment before asking: "Are you interested in joining our Famous Sword Academy?"


    Di Chen was startled, not only did this Zhao Fusheng want to test the strength of the Sky Realm Academy''s students, he actually also wanted to dig a corner?


    Liu Jingjing was also slightly surprised. The three great academies had very harsh requirements to recruit students, but this Zhao Fusheng actually invited Di Chen to join them?

 C105

    Di Chen laughed: "Old Master Zhao, you think too highly of me. I am just a Lifestealer Realm warrior, there are too many students like me in Sky Realm Academy. I have stayed in Sky Realm Academy pretty well, so I won''t enter any other academies."


    Zhao Fusheng did not try to persuade them further and said: "Do as you wish, but you can stay in the mansion for a few more days before leaving."


    Di Chen shook his head: "Thank you for your good intentions Old Master Zhao, there''s no need, I''ll take my leave."


    As soon as Di Chen walked out of the door, he saw that there were a lot of students from the Sky Realm Academy outside. These were all martial kings that had been locked in place by Di Chen earlier, and now, Yang Yue had even included them, all of them brimming with killing intent, cursing and swearing, wishing that they could come up and fight with Di Chen for three hundred rounds. Di Chen secretly cursed, but these people were actually standing guard outside, and it seemed that they would not let him off until they killed him.


    "Old Master Zhao, I wonder if we can stay in the mansion for a few more days before leaving?"


    Earlier, he rejected Zhao Fusheng, but now, he had to return in a blink of an eye to beg him.


    Zhao Fusheng looked as if he had already known that Di Chen would be back, laughed, then looked at the butler: "Bring them to the guest room to rest."


    Di Chen thanked Zhao Fusheng and then left with the butler.


    Zhao Waner stared at Di Chen''s back with curiosity: "Grandfather, why did you invite Di Chen to join our Famous Sword Academy?"


    This was also the first time Zhao Waner had seen Yue Guang trying to invite someone else into the Sky Realm Academy.


    Zhao Fusheng laughed: "You don''t understand Di Chen''s power, do you think that it''s really luck that Di Chen was able to find the Vermillion Bird Fruit a step earlier than the other martial kings?"


    Zhao Waner thought for a while and said: "Earlier, you said that Di Chen had killed two Martial Kings, so he should be very strong, but he clearly only had Lifestealer Realm."


    Zhao Fusheng laughed: "At least they are temporarily much stronger than those of the same realm. Wan''er, our Famous Sword Academy is a martial artist, but we have never had a literati."


    "literati?" Only now did Zhao Waner understand why Zhao Fusheng valued Di Chen so highly, and she exclaimed: "No wonder this Di Chen doesn''t have any spirit energy at all, so it turns out that he is a scholar, but didn''t scholars all participate in examinations, why did he enter the Sky Realm Academy?"


    Zhao Fusheng shook his head: "I don''t know either, maybe he doesn''t like entering the dynasty, after all, everyone has their own ambitions."


    The truth was that Di Chen did not want to enter the imperial court, he had just failed in the Imperial examinations, but the fact that a scholar could become a literati meant that he was talented, such a person would not have failed in the examinations, it was just that Zhao Fusheng never expected Di Chen to fail.


    "No matter what, this Di Chen is a very talented person. I hope that he can join our Famous Sword Academy."


    Earlier, Zhao Fusheng had heard that there were many people at the ninth stage of the Lifestealer Realm who could not even withstand a single punch from Di Chen. Logically speaking, the strength of a scholar was very weak, and their strength was also small, but Di Chen''s body was weak, so his strength was unusually strong, and sometimes, one could even use the brute strength to forcefully break a cultivation technique of a bystander. This was truly rare.


    He was very clear about Di Chen''s performance in the Thousand Monster Mountain previously, and he knew about how the set formula would stabilize all the Martial Kings. He was very interested in Di Chen, so he really wanted to see how he would develop in the future.


    Hearing Zhao Fusheng''s words, Zhao Waner became curious about Di Chen, and thought that this was a truly interesting person, she suddenly wanted to fight with Di Chen.


    After Di Chen returned to his room, he started copying the books. small fruit went to sleep on the bed, and Liu Jingjing also started cultivating.


    Liu Jingjing moved closer to Di Chen and asked curiously: "Di Chen, why do you think this Old Man Zhao wants you to join the Famous Sword Academy?"


    Di Chen said: "I guess he knows that I am a scholar, this Martial Region Continent scholar is a bit rarer."


    Furthermore, Di Chen admitted that his Thousand Monster Mountain''s performance was not bad, so Zhao Fusheng must have had his eyes on his strength.


    Liu Jingjing thought for a while and said: "Then are you really not going to think about it? I heard that the Famous Sword Academy''s system is different from the Million Swords Academy, and the cultivation techniques it refines are also different. I am actually very curious about the Famous Sword Academy."


    Sky Realm Academy mainly refined his fists and feet, his hands and feet in martial arts, while Famous Sword Academy refined his blades and swords, mainly using weapons to fight. His overall strength was a little stronger, but some of his elites could not be compared to Sky Realm Academy and the others.


    Di Chen shook his head: "I am a scholar, and scholars need to obtain power from these words. In fact, it''s the same no matter which academy I am in, I will not always be staying in Sky Realm Academy, I still need to go out and take a look, see the world, see the mountains and rivers, look at the famous monuments and monuments, none of the ancient scholars have the ability to write a good essay while hiding at home. I think that if I have the chance in the future to write a book for myself, I would cultivate a little faster."


    Liu Jingjing chuckled: "If you leave one day, then bring me along. I''ll go out with you to gain experience."


    Di Chen said in a daze, "After I leave, I will be able to live in every corner of the world, and I may not ever return to the Millennium City again, are you willing to part with me?"


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Having a home doesn''t have any difference to me, I might as well travel around with you, and see the world."


    Only then did Di Chen remember that he had never heard Liu Jingjing talk about her family, and thought that maybe there was some conflict between sher and her family, so he smiled and nodded, it would be better to travel with one more person.


    Dong, dong, dong!


    At this time, a knock on the door came from outside. Zhao Waner pushed open the door and entered with a tray in her hands.


    Zhao Waner placed the tray on the table and said: I''m afraid that you guys are hungry, I''ll send you guys something to eat.


    At this time, small fruit who smelled the fragrance immediately climbed down from the bed, rushed to the table and started to eat with a piece of osmanthus cake in his mouth.


    "Where did this squirrel come from?" Zhao Waner''s elemental energy gushed out and she wanted to slap small fruit.


    "Don''t," Di Chen hurriedly grabbed Zhao Waner''s hand and explained, "I brought this back from the Thousand Monster Mountain, don''t hurt it."


    Only then did Zhao Waner stop her hands, and curiously stared at the squirrel. "Other people''s tamed demonic beast are all very powerful, why did you tame a squirrel?"


    The small fruit looked very normal, but he was not as ferocious as the bloodhound, who did not have a single bit of Spirit Demon Qi. The fact that Di Chen kept such a squirrel made her suspicious.


    The small fruit could hear that Zhao Waner was underestimating him. It stretched out its claws and pointed at Zhao Waner as it shrieked, as if it was scolding her, and after venting its anger, it grabbed a osmanthus cake and jumped to the side, ignoring the others, and started to eat it bitterly.


    Zhao Waner was speechless: "This squirrel is quite human, what exactly is this demonic beast, where did you find it?"


    This kind of demonic beast had a human nature, and was much more valuable than other demonic beast. Previously, Zhao Waner had looked at it with disdain, but now, she was rather envious of it.


    Di Chen laughed: "Earlier, by saving its life in Thousand Monster Mountain, it had always been following me, but I don''t know what kind of demonic beast it is."


    Zhao Waner thought that this Di Chen was truly someone with a fortuitous encounter, it was no wonder that his grandfather would invite him.


    Zhao Waner suddenly changed the topic and said: "My grandfather said that you are a literati, and this is my first time seeing one. Di Chen, why don''t we fight a round, and it will end there."


    Di Chen thought that this Zhao Fusheng did indeed know that he was a literati. He rejected his offer: "Zhao Xiaowan, this isn''t good, right?"


    This Zhao Waner was after all, a young miss of the Zhao Family, and Di Chen was staying here for the time being, so competing with Zhao Waner was not appropriate, and Di Chen was afraid of hurting her.


    "You can just call me Wan''er." Zhao Waner did not give Di Chen a chance to reject him, and stopped him from leaving.


    Seeing that Zhao Waner insisted on competing, Di Chen did not reject, and the two went into the courtyard while Liu Jingjing watched from the side.


    Zhao Waner took out a short sword with the word ''Zi Ling'' engraved on it. It looked like this was at least a high-grade Profound Rank Spirit Sword.


    "Di Chen, be careful. I''m coming." Zhao Waner took a step towards Di Chen as the purple Spirit Sword cut horizontally towards Di Chen, and before the sword had reached him, he could feel a strong wind blowing towards his face.


    Di Chen could immediately tell that Zhao Waner''s cultivation was much higher than Yu Xiuyuan''s, so he immediately took out her "Broken" character and rushed towards him.


    Zhao Waner''s sword struck the word "Break" and a loud explosion resounded. The word "Break" instantly dispersed and Zhao Waner was pushed back a few steps by the force of the blow.


    "Amazing, your scholars'' techniques are truly mystical," Zhao Waner was a man of war, it was her first time fighting with someone like Di Chen, her face filled with excitement, and she thrust her sword towards Di Chen, her sword wind was sharp and powerful, her power was obviously stronger than before, if she stabbed, Di Chen would kill him.


    Liu Jingjing knew how powerful Zhao Waner''s sword strike was and said anxiously: "Di Chen, be careful, do not conserve your strength."


    How could Di Chen still dare to protect his strength? With a handwritten "spear" word on his hand, he welcomed the attack.


    Bang!


    Zhao Waner''s sword pierced the word "spear", causing the longspear to crumble, but Zhao Waner was also sent flying. Her entire body smashed into the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and the Spirit Sword fell out of her hands.


    Di Chen hurriedly helped Zhao Waner up, and asked: "I can''t control my strength for a while, are you alright?"


    Although Zhao Waner was injured, she did not mind at all. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and laughed: "I am fine, Di Chen, you are really powerful, why don''t we go again?"


    Di Chen quickly waved his hands, "Forget it, that''s all."


    Zhao Waner saw that Di Chen did not seem to be willing to continue the competition, and regretfully said: "Alright, then let''s fight again in the future when there''s a chance."


    Di Chen said: "If you are willing, I can always come here and spar with you."


    Zhao Waner giggled: "That''s great."


    Then, she felt a little regretful and sighed: "If only you were willing to join our Famous Sword Academy, I would really want to cultivate with you."


    Di Chen laughed and did not say anything. It seemed that Zhao Waner wanted to advise him to join the Famous Sword Academy, but Di Chen was staying at the Sky Realm Academy pretty well, and did not want to leave for the time being.

 C106

    "Then I won''t disturb you anymore," Zhao Waner did not stay any longer, picked up the purple Spirit Sword and left the courtyard.


    Liu Jingjing stared at Zhao Waner''s back with some anger: "How is she here to spar with me? She''s obviously trying to test your strength."


    Di Chen nodded: "I know, she had suppressed her cultivation just now to fight with me, this Zhao Waner definitely isn''t Lifestealer Realm."


    Zhao Waner''s first sword strike was very normal, but the might of the second sword strike was obviously not an ordinary Lifestealer Realm. If Di Chen had not used the Spear Arts in time, he might have been killed by Zhao Waner.


    Di Chen did not know why Zhao Waner was here to probe her cultivation level, but he did not care, since she would not stay in the Zhao manor for long, nor would she have any connections with Zhao Waner in the future.


    After Zhao Waner left, she went to see Zhao Fusheng and explained the fight: "This Di Chen should be at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, but he is very strong, and has held back his strength a moment ago, I''m afraid that there are not many in the Lifestealer Realm who are his match, I think in the entire Famous Sword Academy, only Guan Yun and Kun Xian can compare to him."


    Zhao Waner herself was a very talented person, her judgement was very high, even she was praising Di Chen to the extent of showing how strong he was.


    Zhao Fusheng was not surprised at all, there were only a handful of Martial Region Continent who could kill a Martial King with their Lifestealer Realm, and he laughed: "It''s rather difficult to cultivate as a scholar, but once you succeed in your cultivation, you will be many times stronger than those of the same realm, so it''s normal for Di Chen to have this kind of strength ¡­"


    Saying this, he felt a little regretful again: "It''s a pity that he doesn''t want to join our Famous Sword Academy."


    Zhao Fusheng believed that in a few years time, Di Chen would definitely shine in this academy. Although Di Chen was not from Famous Sword Academy, he still wanted to see what kind of person Di Chen would grow into in the future. After all, the Martial Region Continent Scholar was truly too hard to find.


    In the next few days, Di Chen stayed at the Zhao manor, reading and writing books every day, and the power of the scholar had increased, but to break through to the 9th level of the Scholar Realm, he needed more time. In a few days, the martial kings outside the Zhao manor would all leave, and Di Chen prepared to return to the academy.


    Outside the Zhao Palace, Zhao Fusheng and Zhao Waner saw Di Chen off.


    "Sorry for disturbing Old Master Zhao during this period of time."


    Di Chen is not related to him in any way, it would be hard to find a place for him to stay. He then looked at Zhao Waner and said: Thank you, Miss Wan''er, for taking care of me during this period.


    During this period of time, Zhao Waner had indeed taken care of Di Chen, and had often come to Di Chen''s room to talk with him. She had even wanted to pull him over to exchange pointers with him, but was rejected by Di Chen.


    Zhao Waner chuckled: "The Zhao Palace will welcome you anytime. If you want to exchange pointers, you can come find me."


    "Alright," Di Chen nodded his head, thinking that in the future we might not even have the chance to meet again, he bowed to Zhao Fusheng and turned to leave.


    "Di Chen." Not long after he left, Zhao Fusheng''s voice sounded from behind him.


    Di Chen turned his head and looked at Zhao Fusheng curiously. Zhao Fusheng laughed: "If you change your mind, you can come find me anytime."


    "Alright," Di Chen thought that he would never have the chance to join the Famous Sword Academy again in his life. In truth, if it was not for Shang Qing''s request, he would never have taken the Sky Realm Academy examination.


    A man of letters should not be bound in one place.


    Zhao Fusheng watched Di Chen''s back quietly and could not help but sigh. He knew that Di Chen would not join the Famous Sword Academy and felt some regret.


    "Seems like this Zhao Fusheng cares a lot about your identity as a scholar."


    When Liu Jingjing thought about how she had repeatedly proposed to let Di Chen join the Famous Sword Academy during this period of time, she smiled and said, "Perhaps he hoped that you would represent the Famous Sword Academy and participate in the competition among the three great academies in the future."


    How could Di Chen not know Zhao Fusheng''s goal? He casually said: "Even if I join the Famous Sword Academy, I wouldn''t participate in the competition between the three great academies. I don''t have that time."


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "I know, you still have to write books, of course I don''t have time."


    Di Chen was a scholar, so scholars should be able to gain power from the words and comprehend their own way. Then, they should be able to use the language and let the later generations learn from it.


    After returning to the academy, Di Chen went to the medicinal garden, while Liu Jingjing went to her residence. As for the money Liu Jingjing had left for her, he would sell everything to Liu Jingjing later.


    "Di Chen," Qin Suer came over excitedly when she saw that Di Chen had returned, and laughed: "Why have you been gone for so long?"


    Di Chen stayed in the Thousand Monster Mountain for three days and stayed in the Zhao Palace for another three days. Counting the time, it was indeed a little long, so he told his everything that had happened in the Thousand Monster Mountain simply.


    "Oh right," Qin Suer suddenly smiled mysteriously. "A lot of people in the academy have been scolding you recently, and they are all at the first or second stage of the Martial King realm.


    Di Chen secretly thought that he must have fixed them up so that he could attempt to hand over the mission. He laughed: "It''s nothing, I just handed in the mission first and they won''t accept it."


    Qin Suer said with a smile that was not a smile: "But these people seem to be quite angry. It must be you doing something shady again."


    It was rare for a group of Martial Kings to curse in public, but after getting this angry, they finally thought of how despicable the things Di Chen did were.


    "Oh right," Di Chen didn''t talk about the Thousand Monster Mountain and took out some other Spirit Grass flowers: "I brought these back from the Thousand Monster Mountain. Take a look and see if there''s anything useful."


    Qin Suer picked up the Spirit Grass and looked, and immediately had a face full of surprise and joy: "The Vermillion Bird Fruit, Divine Ning Ye, Meng Lu Hua, Di Chen, these are all rare Spirit Grass s that have been injected with medicine, they are very hard to find, where did you find them?"


    Di Chen pointed to his bosom, Qin Suer curiously looked at Di Chen''s chest, then a round head came out, it was small fruit.


    Qin Suer''s finger curiously poked at small fruit''s head. "What is this, it''s so cute."


    small fruit didn''t like people poking its head, so he angrily slapped Qin Suer''s hands, and whined a few times as a form of resistance.


    Di Chen pulled at the small fruit''s fur and pulled it out, laughing: "It''s called small fruit, I picked it up from Thousand Monster Mountain. Even though it''s not strong, it''s very intelligent, and those Spirit Grass were found by it."


    Being lifted like this by Di Chen made small fruit feel uncomfortable, he used all his strength to scratch at Di Chen, but he could not reach Di Chen so he kept scratching, and stared angrily at Di Chen.


    Qin Suer was amused by small fruit''s look and giggled, but small fruit did not seem to like him either. It was as if she did not want to see small fruit and went back into Di Chen''s arms.


    Di Chen did not chat much with him, he went back to the side room and took out all the things that he had bought. He simply calculated that if he were to take all the Spirit Grass and demon corpses to the academy, he would be able to get at least 800 points, and with the money he had earned this time, he would be able to get another 400 points. could get 600 points with half of his points, and with that, Di Chen had saved 300 points.


    After taking everything into consideration, Di Chen started to cultivate again. He needed to level up his Scholar''s Realm to the ninth stage before the ranking battles, in order to obtain the first place of the Destiny Decree.


    "Di Chen, get out here right now!" An hour later, an angry voice came from outside.


    When Di Chen walked out, he immediately saw Cao Yuer. Her tears were rolling down, and it seemed that she had just been crying. Di Chen asked: "Yu''er, what''s wrong?"


    Cao Yuer did not answer, but suddenly rushed at Di Chen, his fist fiercely smashing onto Di Chen''s chest.


    This punch was too sudden. Di Chen did not even have time to react before he was sent flying, his bones already broken.


    "Yu''er," Di Chen did not expect Cao Yuer to do something so heavy. She hurriedly got up, covered her chest and asked in a daze: "What are you doing?"


    If it was an ordinary person, he would have already made his move, and only Cao Yuer would not have acted rashly.


    Cao Yuer cried: "Why didn''t you save my sister?"


    When Di Chen heard this, his expression changed slightly as he asked, "Could it be that your sister has already ¡­"


    Cao Yuer clenched her fists and said: "My sister was killed by a black ringed snake king while harvesting Vermillion Bird Fruit. Fang Xin said that you clearly saw him but did not save her. Is that true?"


    Before Di Chen left, he had indeed seen Cao Rouer fighting with the black ringed snake, but he couldn''t save Cao Rouer, nor did he have the time to save her, he had only reminded her not to fight against the black ringed snake King head on. Di Chen did not expect that she would not listen to his advice, and in the end, still die in the black ringed snake''s mouth.


    Cao Yuer said in a tearful voice: "If you don''t speak, then I admit it, Di Chen, although my sister isn''t close with you, but we have experienced life and death together in the Thousand Monster Mountain, you can risk your life to save Liu Jingjing and Qin Suer, why can''t you save my sister?"


    Di Chen was silent for a moment before saying: "I advised your sister, but even if she doesn''t listen to me, since you know that the black ringed snake King is a Demonic King, how can I possibly save her?"


    Cao Yuer scolded: "I understand your personality. If you wanted to save me, no matter how dangerous it is, you would have intervened. But on that day, you had no intentions of doing so."


    Di Chen was speechless. Cao Yuer was right, she could have saved Liu Jingjing from the hands of the two Martial Kings previously, but she did not, because he had never thought of saving her.


    Actually, this was also because Cao Rouer had always been on Fang Xin''s side earlier. Di Chen was truly a little angry at what she had said, in addition to the fact that Cao Rouer was stubborn in her ways and wanted to snatch back the Vermillion Bird Fruit.


    It was just that Di Chen never thought that Cao Rouer would die there, but the current Di Chen did not know the reason why Cao Rouer died.

 C107

    "You caused my sister''s death," Cao Yuer loved Di Chen very much, but now that Di Chen did not save her sister''s life, Cao Yuer was truly unable to accept this kind of thing.


    But just then, a gust of wind swept over, directly blowing Cao Yuer away.


    Yang Mengqi walked out from the side room, and said with a frown: "What exactly happened?"


    Cao Yuer said hatefully: "Di Chen killed my sister, I want to avenge my sister."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly, he did not know how to explain why. Previously, Cao Yuer had said that he did not save him despite seeing him die, but now, he said directly that he had killed Cao Rouer.


    Yang Mengqi knew that there was a reason behind this matter and calmly replied, "I believe there must be some kind of misunderstanding between the two of you."


    Cao Yuer roared: What kind of misunderstanding could there be?


    As she spoke, she once again charged towards Di Chen, but was flipped over by Yang Mengqi.


    Yang Mengqi said seriously: "Cao Yuer, let''s not talk about Di Chen not killing your sister, even if it''s true, it''s normal for the disciples of the Sky Realm Academy to kill and kill in the Thousand Monster Mountain. If you want to take revenge, you should wait for the day of the ranking tournament, or even wait for Di Chen to leave the academy, but don''t stay here."


    Cao Yuer knew that Yang Mengqi was very protective of Di Chen, and she wouldn''t be able to kill him with her help. She glared at Di Chen with hatred in her eyes, wiped away her tears, and left without saying a word.


    Di Chen looked at Cao Yuer''s back and sighed helplessly. Previously, he had a very good relationship with Cao Yuer, but why would she want to kill him now?


    "Di Chen," Yang Mengqi said curiously, "Just what is going on?"


    Di Chen told his about Cao Rouer going to harvest Vermillion Bird Fruit s. He really didn''t want to save Cao Rouer, so he blamed himself.


    Yang Mengqi sighed: "So that''s how it is, with your strength, you''re unable to deal with a black ringed snake King, and you can''t save her either. This isn''t your fault, it''s just her own fault."


    Although he said that, Di Chen still blamed himself in his heart. After all, he did not want to see Cao Rouer being killed.


    "Oh yeah," Di Chen thought of a matter: "Teacher Yang, is your body better now?"


    Yang Mengqi looked at his body and laughed: "Su''er''s acupuncture points and Heart Replenishing Pill have healed my body quite a lot. It shouldn''t be a problem for me to handle this ranking battle."


    Di Chen was overjoyed: "Then Teacher Yang has the ability to obtain the Three Lives Life Recovery Pill?"


    Yang Mengqi smiled and said, "I have already broken through to the eighth level of Martial Saint, so there are currently few in the entire academy who are stronger than me, so it should be possible."


    A black light flashed across Di Chen''s eyes. He noticed that Yang Mengqi''s body was emitting a red halo, which meant that his fate would be much smoother in the future. Looks like he really had a great chance of obtaining the Three Lives Life Recovery Pill, and she couldn''t help but feel happy for Yang Mengqi, and then, Di Chen saw his own fate, which was giving off a black halo. This also meant that Di Chen''s future fate would be very miserable, and he couldn''t help but sigh in his heart.


    He thought that since Bing Tong''s fate could change his own fate, it could also definitely change as well. After that, he went to the Wind Sound Pavilion and prepared to exchange all his demonic beast, Spirit Grass, and money for points.


    The news of Di Chen at the Ten Thousand demonic beast had already spread. Along the way, Di Chen noticed that many people had strange looks on their faces as they looked at him.


    Many of the Martial Kings that saw Di Chen started to curse, these were the people that were locked up by Di Chen and were unable to submit their missions on time, in the academy, they did not dare to recklessly kill people, and could only curse a few times.


    Di Chen was too lazy to care about these people, but thinking about it, he was still a little proud. After all, there were very few Martial Kings that suffered under the hands of someone with Lifestealer Realm, and with so many of them at that.


    Bang!


    The reason that he was so pleased with himself, was because Di Chen suddenly clashed against a man. The man casually pushed and flipped Di Chen over ten times, if Di Chen was weak by even a little bit, his internal organs would have shattered and he would have died.


    Di Chen raised his head and saw seven men, led by a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man did not look ordinary, but there was an imposing aura from him that was not angered, and it was obvious that he was someone from the imperial court. The person on the left was rather weak, and the person on the right was tall and sturdy, with a type of berserk aura similar to that of a demonic beast.


    The leading middle-aged man looked at the man and laughed: "I presume he didn''t do it on purpose. Golden Guard, you don''t have to be so careful."


    The person called Golden Guard then put down his blade.


    The middle-aged man looked at Di Chen and said: "I''m sorry, your subordinates were reckless, are you alright?"


    Di Chen looked at Golden Guard angrily, but did not complain. He stood up and said: "I''m fine."


    The middle-aged man nodded his head and didn''t say anything else. Then, he walked over to the headmaster''s residence.


    Everyone looked at these people curiously. They were not teachers of the academy, so it seemed that their status was not ordinary since they could enter and leave the academy freely. It was just that no one seemed to know who they were.


    "Di Chen," Qiu Tang walked over and smiled: "Are you alright?"


    Di Chen said as he held onto his chest: "That person injured my heart with a light push, that guy is so powerful, I wonder what realm he is at."


    Qiu Tang laughed: "I don''t know what realm they are in, but I know their identities."


    Di Chen was slightly taken aback: "You knew? "Who are they?"


    Qiu Tang introduced them one by one: "The left one is the Prime Minister Jin Kai who is currently at the first rank official level, the right one is the Great General Ai Hua, and those four should be their guards. As for the middle one ¡­"


    Qiu Tang paused, and it seemed that he was somewhat surprised that Yun Che would come here. After a moment of silence, he said, "He is the current Flame Emperor."


    "Flame Emperor?" Di Chen was shocked. He had guessed that these people were from the imperial court, but he never expected that they were the Flame Emperor. However, the Academy''s ranking war had already begun, he had heard that the Flame Emperor would personally come to watch the competition.


    Di Chen suddenly looked at Qiu Tang strangely and said: "How do you know their identities?"


    Qiu Tang laughed: "I have met General Ai Lun and Prime Minister Jin Kai. Who else other than the Flame Emperor here can make them follow?"


    Di Chen thought that since Qiu Tang had met the Prime Minister and General Ai before, it meant that his family was also an official in the imperial government. He suddenly felt that it was a little strange, and thought, if that was the case, why did he save Qin Suer before?


    However, the power of the government was complex and there were many factions. It was normal for Di Chen to not understand the tricks behind it.


    Qiu Tang did not mention too much about this matter as he asked curiously, "I heard a lot of Martial Kings say that you did something wicked in the Thousand Monster Mountain. What exactly did you do?"


    Di Chen casually explained about the Thousand Monster Mountain s, causing Qiu Tang to be a little speechless. He thought that Di Chen was really being a bit unkind, fixing others on and not giving them time to hand in their tasks, no one would be angry about that, but then again, for Di Chen to be able to imprison so many Martial Kings, how powerful must Di Chen be?


    After separating with Qiu Tang, Di Chen went to the Wind Cry Pavilion to find An Le.


    Upon seeing Di Chen, one of An Le immediately asked impatiently: "Why did a lot of Martial Kings scold you for being wicked during this period of time?"


    Di Chen thought to himself how much these Martial Kings hated him. Now that so many people knew about it, he could only explain it to An Yue.


    An Le became somewhat speechless after hearing this. "You''ve offended so many people. I want to see how you''re going to cultivate here in the future. Oh right, what business do you have with me?"


    Di Chen took out all the items and said, "This was collected from the Thousand Monster Mountain. I want to exchange it for points."


    "Woman Flower?" An Yue saw the female flower that Di Chen snatched from him at first glance, and said in shock: "You actually found this flower, this flower is worth at least 500 points, and the Vermillion Bird Fruit, Demonic King''s corpse, Di Chen, if you get hold of these things, you must have met with many dangers."


    The flower on the human female flower was already on the verge of extinction, and it was already very difficult to find. It proved that Di Chen was lucky to be able to find it, but to be able to find it meant that his strength was not simple, even if it was someone from the Martial King Realm, they definitely wouldn''t be able to find the flower, and the other things on Di Chen''s body were also not ordinary people.


    Di Chen nodded his head: "We did encounter some dangers, but our luck isn''t too bad. We''ll save our lives."


    An Yue counted all the items before saying, "These items are all pretty good. According to the academy''s purchase price, I can give you 800 points."


    Di Chen thought that this price was just as he had expected. He took out his money bag and said, "I want to exchange this money for points as well."


    An Lun counted the silver taels and said, "The school''s one point is ten thousand silver taels. You have four million silver taels here, so I can give you four hundred points. In total, it''s twelve hundred points."


    As he said this number, An Yue looked at Di Chen with a strange expression, and even felt a little envious: "Di Chen, you really know how to earn points. Not even I can earn these points."


    Di Chen said: "These twelve hundred points are not for me alone, half of them are for Liu Jingjing."


    In fact, the purpose of this trip to the Thousand Monster Mountain, on the other hand, was very little. However, without Liu Jingjing, Di Chen wouldn''t be able to kill Yuan Feng and Tian Suo, and it would be normal for her to have half a chance.


    Di Chen took half of the points, adding the fact that he still had 300 points, this meant that Di Chen had 900 points. He also borrowed 100 points from Liu Jingjing for a short while, so 1000 points was just enough to buy the Heaven Exploring Brush.


    Then, Di Chen went to buy the Sky Evolution Brush. In that instant, he felt a huge force from a scholar, which could not be felt by a scholar, and could only be clearly felt by a scholar.


    Previously, when Di Chen was using the formula, he had to rely on his hand to write, the formula could not release its full power, but now with the Sky Splitting Brush, the formula''s power would increase by a few levels, and with his current strength, it was likely that there would not be anyone else that was stronger than him in Lifestealer Realm.

 C108

    Just as he walked out, he saw Fang Xin walking in. Earlier, Fang Xin had lost an arm to the black ringed snake, but he had already relied on medicine to recover.


    "Did Cao Yuer go to find you for trouble?"


    After seeing Di Chen, Fang Xin also sneered: "Her talent is not bad, and his cultivation is also quite fast. He has already broken through to the ninth stage of the life reaping realm, and his strength isn''t inferior to mine.


    Di Chen knew that the reason why Cao Yuer knew about Cao Rouer being eaten by black ringed snake was definitely because Fang Xin said so, and said calmly: "You can''t kill me, so you want Cao Yuer to kill me.


    Fang Xin''s expression darkened: "Di Chen, you''re too brazen, I can survive in the mouth of the black ringed snake King, can you?"


    Di Chen thought that he could still kill the black ringed snake King, but he did not know how to say such words. He laughed: "Haven''t you heard that there are a lot of martial kings in the academy scolding me recently? Those martial kings were all at a disadvantage under my hands, yet you say that my strength is weaker than yours?"


    Fang Xin naturally heard the martial kings swearing at him, he could faintly guess that Di Chen had completed the Vermillion Bird Fruit''s mission, and was even able to complete these missions one step ahead of them. To think that Di Chen was so strong that he was actually unable to respond to them.


    Di Chen looked at Fang Xin with a face full of ridicule. Without wasting any time with him, he turned around and prepared to leave.


    "Di Chen," Just then, Fang Xin called out to him again, seeing that no one was around, he laughed: "Guess how Cao Rouer died."


    Di Chen stopped in his tracks, turned around and coldly stared at Fang Xin, his face cold as he asked: "Did Cao Rouer not die in the mouth of the black ringed snake King?"


    Fang Xin taunted: "Do you think we will be that foolish? If the Vermillion Bird Fruit has been snatched away, why should we fight against it?"


    Di Chen instantly understood what was going on: "You said that you were the one who killed Cao Rouer? But before I left, the three of you were clearly fighting against the black ringed snake King head on. "


    Fang Xin laughed: "If that''s not the case, why would you admit to Cao Yuer that you''re not going to save me?"


    Di Chen had seen Cao Rouer and the black ringed snake King fighting previously, so when Cao Yuer said that Di Chen was not saved, he admitted it. However, only now did Di Chen know that Fang Xin and Cao Rouer did not fight against the black ringed snake King recklessly, and after Di Chen left, the three of them left. Fang Xin had killed Cao Rouer and Jiang You, and he told Cao Yuer that it was because Di Chen did not save him that he was eaten by the black ringed snake King, and in the end, Cao Yuer believed it, and Di Chen admitted it.


    Although Di Chen''s relationship with him was normal, but Fang Xin actually killed Cao Rouer in order to take revenge on him. This made Di Chen a little angry, he clenched his fists and stared straight at Fang Xin.


    Fang Xin laughed coldly: "What, you want to kill me? This is an academy, you can''t kill me. Furthermore, do you have the strength to kill me?"


    Di Chen squinted his eyes, he suddenly saw that Fang Xin''s entire body was as black as ink, which meant that Fang Xin''s future was extremely miserable, and he no longer had any thoughts of killing him.


    "The academy''s ranking is in a hurry in a few days. Fang Xin, I hope you can live until that day."


    Regardless of life or death, a large number of people would die in the Academy Ranking Tournament every year. Di Chen''s meaning was that he was prepared to kill Fang Xin during the tournament.


    Fang Xin laughed coldly: "Di Chen, you truly think too highly of yourself. Do you really think you can defeat me?"


    Di Chen calmly looked at him. If it wasn''t for the academy forbidding him to kill, Di Chen could have killed him right now, but he could not do so. Without saying a word, he turned and left.


    Purple Light Pavilion.


    On the left was Principal Mu Zhongli, Vice Principal Liang Xinghe, and a few elders of the Academy. On the right was Flame Emperor, Ai Lun, and Jin Kai.


    "I never thought that the Flame Emperor would actually come personally to watch the ranking battle of our Sky Realm Academy. It is truly the fortune of our Sky Realm Academy."


    This was the first time the Flame Emperor had come to the Sky Realm Academy, and even Mu Zhongli was a little surprised. He had originally thought that the Flame Emperor would send people over, but he didn''t expect that the Flame Emperor would actually come personally. One must know that there were many people in the Martial Region Continent who wanted to kill the Flame Emperor.


    Flame Emperor was naturally aware of the danger of coming out this time, but he did not mind as he smiled: "Sky Realm Academy is one of the three great academies of my Martial Region Continent. I also want to see how talented you are."


    The imperial government did not have a system to select warriors, but in Martial Region Continent, almost all of the talented warriors were from the Three Great Academies. In fact, the Flame Emperor also wanted to choose some of the talents from the Three Great Academies to enter the imperial government.


    How could Mu Zhongli not know the purpose of the Flame Emperor''s visit? It was just that he couldn''t care less. After all, many martial artists would enter the Imperial Court after graduation.


    "Oh yeah," Ai Lun suddenly asked, "Principal Mu, how did that good-for-nothing son of mine perform?"


    Mu Zhongli smiled. "Your son has worked hard. He has already broken through to the seventh stage of Life Seizing."


    Ai Lun laughed bitterly and shook his head: "I understand my son, myself, and I am unwilling to work hard, and my talent is poor. If I did not give the Spirit Sword in the family to him, he would not have been able to enter the Sky Realm Academy, and in this life, he will at most be able to cultivate to the Martial King Realm."


    Liang Xinghe laughed: General Ai cannot say that, other than being hardworking, cultivators also need to rely on luck and luck, there is a student called Cao Yuer in A class. Previously, she did not like to cultivate and her talent was average, but previously, she obtained a Spirit Opening Pill from the Thousand Monster Mountain, so her cultivation speed is not something that many people in the Sky Realm Academy can compare to.


    In fact, there were quite a lot of students like Cao Yuer, and Di Chen could also be considered one of them.


    Ai Lun still laughed bitterly, thinking that Ai Yeshi did not have such luck.


    "Oh right," Jin Kai also asked. "I wonder how that son of mine, Jin Kai, who is an expert, is doing?"


    Liang Xinghe said: "He often cultivates with Ai Yeshi."


    Jin Kai shook his head in disappointment. How could he not understand the meaning of these words?


    Flame Emperor asked curiously, "Principal Mu, can you introduce us to the more talented students in the academy?"


    Mu Zhongli smiled mysteriously. "The ranking battle will be held in a few more days. By then, His Majesty will naturally know. I believe that His Majesty will not be disappointed this time."


    When the Flame Emperor heard Mu Zhongli''s words, he became curious. Many of the teachers in the Sky Realm Academy were stronger than the military officers of the imperial government.


    After that, the Flame Emperor and Mu Zhongli talked about some of the experts in the Martial Region Continent, and it was only two hours before the Flame Emperor left. Mu Zhongli had sent people to prepare a room for the Flame Emperor, and the Flame Emperor had already sent Ai Lun to find Qiu Tang.


    "Have you investigated this Di Chen before?"


    Flame Emperor went straight to the point. "Does this person have any ill intentions?"


    Qiu Tang laughed: "Recently, I have been in contact with Di Chen a lot. He is actually just an ordinary scholar, but he has a lot of literary talent and has his own ideas. As for conspiring against him, I definitely do not have those thoughts, royal father can be at ease."


    Flame Emperor had already guessed that it would be like this, after all, a person with the intention to rebel would not be able to participate in the Imperial examinations, "Oh right, how did a scholar enter the Sky Realm Academy?"


    Qiu Tang shook his head: "Not only is he a scholar, he is also a martial artist. Furthermore, the cultivation technique he cultivates seems very strange, it should be at the ninth stage of Life Seizing, and his strength is not ordinary."


    Qiu Tang also did not know that Di Chen was actually a literati, which was also normal, and he had never seen a real literati before.


    The Flame Emperor said, "It''s rare for a talented martial artist to be this outstanding in literature. If he''s truly as good as you say, then I''ll think of a way to make him join the assembly."


    The number of people entering the imperial court for the past few years was getting fewer and fewer. Those true experts were all in the public, so the Flame Emperor came out this time to recruit more talents to become an official.


    After returning to the medicinal garden, Di Chen started to copy books. This time, Di Chen used the Sky Spill Brush, and discovered that the power of the scholars in his body increased a lot faster when he used the Sky Spill Brush, multiple times faster than before. After copying all of the books, Di Chen''s realm had faintly reached the ninth level of the Scholar Realm, but it was still a little short of breaking through.


    "I''ve finally broken through." Di Chen was pleasantly surprised. The time it took to break through to the ninth stage of the Scholar Realm was far longer than he had expected.


    But after breaking through this time, Di Chen felt the power of the scholars in his body increase by several times. This was because the Heaven Devouring Brush had absorbed the power of the written word and infused it into Di Chen''s body.


    "With my current strength, I don''t think any of the Lifestealer Realm in the Sky Realm Academy would be a match for me."


    Di Chen''s realm as a scholar had already reached the limit, he could defeat most people with Lifestealer Realm with just a few formula, not to mention that Di Chen could be considered half a warrior. Although his realm as a scholar could not be raised, his strength as a warrior could still improve, allowing him to kill more demonic beast to absorb its flesh and blood.


    But Di Chen didn''t have the time at the moment, and after cultivating for a few days more, the fifth year of ranking battles, had finally begun.


    Not only could they show their strength, they could also receive generous rewards. Every time those students who went into closed door training or traveled outside, they would return to the Academy to participate in the ranking competition.


    At medicinal garden.


    Yang Mengqi looked at Di Chen and said: "The ranking competition started from the Lifestealer Realm, am I confident?"


    Di Chen laughed heartily, "Don''t worry Teacher Yang. I have already reached the ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Stage as a scholar and a martial practitioner, so there shouldn''t be anyone who can be my match in Lifestealer Realm.


    Yang Mengqi laughed out loud: "It''s been so many years since I''ve fought with others, I''m not confident either, but I will do my best."


    Although she said that, Yang Mengqi seemed to be very confident. After all, Yang Mengqi was also the proud daughter of heaven back then.


    Yang Mengqi let Yuan Tong and Qin Suer stay in the medicinal garden, then went to the competition grounds, only she did not notice that Yuan Tong had also secretly followed them.

 C109

    Beside the two of them were General Ai Lun, Prime Minister Jin Kai and Vice President Liang Xinghe, as well as a few elders of the academy and the Flame Emperor''s guards. Below the stage were the students of the Sky Realm Academy, a sea of people, and at the extreme left were the students of the Lifestealer Realm.


    Every year''s ranking battles attracted the most attention, but Sky Realm Academy had too many students after all, so not everyone of them were qualified to participate in the ranking battles. Those under the fifth stage did not even have the qualifications to enter the stage, and would be crippled even if they did not die.


    "Everyone ¡­" Mu Zhong Li stood up and said in a clear voice: "Today is the day our Sky Realm Academy will compete for the top seat. I''m sure everyone has been waiting for this for a long time, but this year is different from the previous years ¡­"


    "This is our Thousand Autumn Dynasty''s current Emperor Yan Emperor. He has specially come this year to watch this ranking battle, and I hope all of you will perform well."


    "Flame Emperor? Is this the majesty of our Thousand Autumn Dynasty? " Everyone below the stage cried out in alarm. They already knew that this person''s identity wasn''t simple, but they didn''t expect him to be the current emperor.


    The entire Martial Region Continent was ruled by the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, could it be that this was the world''s monarch? The Flame Emperor was born in the imperial city, who would have thought that he would travel thousands of miles to come to the Sky Realm Academy to observe the ranking battle?!


    When they thought about how the Flame Emperor had come, the students below the stage were extremely excited. Who didn''t want to show off in front of the Flame Emperor?


    The Flame Emperor stood up and smiled at the students below the stage: "Sky Realm Academy is one of the three great academies in Thousand Autumn Dynasty, and would train a large number of talents every year. It''s a pity that in previous years, Thousand Autumn Dynasty was busy with many things, and I have been busy defending against external troubles all year round, so I do not have the time to personally visit.


    These people were all carrying trays, and on the trays, there were medicine bottles and various kinds of weapons. All of these medicine pills were from the third grade to the sixth grade, and the weapons were from the Profound Rank to the Emperor grade. Each and every one of them were rare items, and only the imperial court had them.


    The Flame Emperor smiled and said, "These are the prizes for this year''s ranking battle. They will be given to some students who have performed well. I hope you all will work hard."


    Many of the students in Class B, who were at the ninth stage, were stronger than others, but that was because they had trained for a long time, and some disciples with A class, who were weak at the moment, only had five six stages, and did not dare to show their strength on the stage. If that was the case, the Flame Emperor would very likely miss out on a genius, so he could use these things to attract the attention of those who were weak, and those who had talent would definitely pay attention to them.


    There were many students in the Sky Realm Academy, so not everyone would step up for the ranking battle every year. This would save some time, but if the Flame Emperor did this, it would attract everyone''s attention, and the competition would drag on for too long.


    However, Mu Zhongli knew that the Flame Emperor did this because he did not want to miss out on the geniuses of the Sky Realm Academy.


    Hearing the Flame Emperor''s words, the students below the stage all began to shout. They were all getting restless, as if they wanted to show off their strength right away.


    Seeing that he was in high spirits, Flame Emperor retreated with a smile.


    Mu Zhongli stepped forward again. "I assume you guys can''t wait any longer. I won''t waste any more time. Let''s begin."


    He looked at Liang Xinghe, and saw that he was the host of the competition.


    Liang Xinghe walked out and laughed: "This year is just like previous years, the ranking competition will start from Lifestealer Realm, there will be no rules, if you use your full strength, it will be difficult to avoid accidental injuries, and this year will also be the same, so the people who take the stage will have to be careful and not force it."


    The reason why he said this was because he was afraid that everyone would want to go up onto the stage and delay their matches. He then looked at Fang Xin and nodded, "Fang Xin, you come up first.


    Fang Xin immediately walked onto the stage and bowed towards Liang Xinghe, then calmly looked at everyone below the stage.


    Everyone was originally ready to make a move, but when they saw Fang Xin, they suddenly became as stiff as eggplants, not knowing what to do. They thought that the person who would step on the stage would be powerful, and that they would have a chance to display their skills, but in the end, the first person to do so would be a genius with A class.


    For a moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay. No one dared to come forward.


    Flame Emperor looked at Fang Xin with curiosity, then asked as he moved his head towards Mu Zhongli, "Who is this?"


    Mu Zhongli said softly, "This is a new student that our academy has just accepted a while back. His talent is very good and there are few who are stronger than him in A class today."


    Flame Emperor looked at Fang Xin up and down, he could not help but be curious about him, and inwardly thought that the other people looked like they were afraid of him.


    Fang Xin looked at the crowd with a face full of ridicule, he looked around, and at last, landed on Di Chen, and said loudly: "Since no one dares to challenge us, then I will challenge us, Di Chen, I challenge you, do you dare to challenge us?"


    Di Chen was considered to be quite famous in the Sky Realm Academy, he had injured Li Caishi in the academy examination and then defeated many genius disciples of A class. It was said that even Yu Xiuyuan had died in the hands of Di Chen, and during this period of time, many of the martial kings in the academy had suffered losses because of Di Chen. Although no one had seen for themselves how strong Di Chen actually was, they were all curious about him due to the rumors.


    Originally, Di Chen did not really want to participate in the ranking competition, so scholars should keep a low profile. But Fang Xin had killed Cao Rouer, and if it was up to him, he could not let him live.


    "Go on," Liu Mengqi said softly, this was saying that Di Chen could kill Fang Xin.


    Di Chen nodded, and then stepped onto the stage in front of everyone''s eyes.


    Liang Xinghe glanced at Di Chen, and could tell that Di Chen''s cultivation had increased again, and laughed: "Let''s begin, remember, it''s over now."


    With that said, he retreated and handed the stage over to Di Chen.


    Fang Xin looked at Di Chen with a playful smile: "Although Vice Principal Liang has stated that matters are at an end, but you know that this ranking battle is a matter of life and death. If you surrender in front of everyone, perhaps I will spare your life."


    Di Chen squinted, his eyes releasing black light. He noticed that Fang Xin''s entire body was releasing a halo that was as black as ink, and it seemed to have reached its limit, which meant that Fang Xin was definitely going to die today.


    Di Chen did not speak, he suddenly took a step forward and punched forward.


    "You''re courting death," Seeing that Di Chen not only did not plan to give up, but actually still wanted to attack, Fang Xin''s spirit energy immediately gushed out and a tiger''s roar came from his arm. It was obvious that his arm was shrouded in a layer of tiger''s shadow.


    Bang!


    The two fists collided, and Fang Xin was flipped over, rolling over a dozen times. His arms were faintly trembling, but Di Chen did not move an inch.


    Ever since Yu Xiuyuan died, Fang Xin has been ranked among the top three strongest in A class, and yet he can''t even take one of Di Chen''s punches?


    Not only the students in the audience, even the Flame Emperor was surprised.''s punch just now did not use any spirit energy, but he was this strong just relying on his strength?


    This was the first time the Flame Emperor had seen someone rely on their own strength to break an opponent''s cultivation technique.


    Fang Xin used his hands to prop himself up, and coldly looked at Di Chen: "I never expected me to underestimate your strength, looks like I can''t hold back any longer."


    As he said that, he took out a red long spear that was about two meters long and refined with Sky Mystical Iron. He channeled his spirit energy into the spear and pointed it at Di Chen.


    "Scarlet Refined Spear, a profound level weapon with 800 points. I never thought that Fang Xin would earn so many points after coming to the Academy for only a few months."


    "Now Di Chen is in danger." The people below the stage cried out in surprise, this Scarlet Refining Spear was something that many people liked, it was the strongest weapon that the Sky Realm Academy''s Lifestealer Realm warriors could use, but because of the high points, no one could afford it, nobody thought that Fang Xin would actually buy it.


    After seeing the Red Refined Spear, many people sentenced Di Chen to death.


    Di Chen took a step back, took out his Heaven Brush, and wrote a "Slash" character in the air to welcome the Scarlet Refined Spear.


    Previously, Di Chen''s formula was transparent, it seemed like it was made of Qi, but now, the word "cut" was red like blood, its power was clearly different from before.


    Bang!


    The word "kill" clashed with the red refined spear, and with a loud explosion, the red refined spear was actually shattered into pieces, while Fang Xin was also blown away, his entire right arm was broken from the impact, blood gushed out, it was a tragic sight.


    "What?" Seeing this scene, everyone below the stage exclaimed. Fang Xin who had switched for the Red Refined Spear was still not a match for Di Chen?


    Everyone already knew that Di Chen was strong, but now they realised that they had underestimated him.


    "Sky Evolution Brush?" Everyone suddenly saw that the pen in Di Chen''s hand was actually the Yan Tian Divine Brush with 1000 points, they all had a strange look, this 1000 points, was not a weapon, this Di Chen actually spent so many points to exchange for this, and was even able to unleash such power?


    Everyone thought to themselves, could this Sky Spill Brush be an Earth Level spirit weapon?


    Initially, Yang Mengqi was still a little worried that Di Chen would lose, but after seeing this, she felt relieved, afraid that no one in the Sky Realm Academy could defeat Di Chen now.


    Liang Xinghe laughed, he had long known that Di Chen wanted to exchange for the Sky Spill Brush, but he did not expect that Di Chen actually earned a thousand points.


    "No elemental energy?" This time, Flame Emperor noticed that Di Chen did not use any soul force. Without any soul force, it meant that he was not a warrior, if he was not a warrior, would he still have such power?


    But the Sky Realm Academy is a martial arts training ground, you actually still want to recruit a literati?

 C110

    Flame Emperor looked curiously at Mu Zhongli and asked, "Principal Mu, could I have seen wrongly? This Di Chen is the literati?"


    Mu Zhongli nodded his head: "That''s right, when he first came to our Sky Realm Academy for the examination, I was also somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, the literati should have attended more Imperial examinations, I never thought that he would actually come to our Sky Realm Academy."


    "literati?" Jin Kai curiously looked at Di Chen, thinking that since it was a literati, then his literary talent must be very outstanding. He suddenly became more interested in Di Chen, and asked curiously: "Principal Mu, quickly, what is this student''s name?"


    "Di Chen," Mu Zhongli laughed.


    They had discussed this name in the study after the Imperial examinations ended. Jin Kai felt that Di Chen had the intention to rebel and wanted to kill this person, but Ai Lun believed that Jin Kai was making a big deal out of it, so there was no need to kill him. In the end, the Flame Emperor sent Qiu Tang to investigate this matter, but Qiu Tang had said that Di Chen was fine and he was very strong, but he did not know that Di Chen was a literati.


    There were a few in the literati court, whose literary skills were not bad, but their strength were average, and their talent was far worse than Di Chen''s.


    Flame Emperor looked at Di Chen curiously, and suddenly wanted to see his following performance.


    Fang Xin crawled up while supporting himself on the ground, and tapped on the center of his brows. A hawk about ten meters long came out, which was precisely the Green Scaled Eagle, and an extremely powerful Demonic King.


    The Green Scaled Eagle flapped its wings, raised its head, and gave a long cry, before diving towards Di Chen.


    "Di Chen, this Green Scaled Eagle is a legacy of our Fang Family, and it will increase its power as my realm increases. Last time, I used this Green Scaled Eagle to dodge the black ringed snake''s attack, let''s see how you block this Green Scaled Eagle."


    Fang Xin roared, this martial soul was also his strongest move, if he could not kill Di Chen with it, then he had no other choice.


    Di Chen could tell that this Green Scaled Eagle was very powerful, so he immediately wrote the word "broken" to welcome the Green Scaled Eagle.


    The broken word directly collided with the Green Scaled Eagle, and with a loud explosion, the Green Scaled Eagle instantly collapsed. A ripple swept out and sent Fang Xin flying, heavily smashing him onto the ground.


    Fang Xin stared at Di Chen unwillingly. He had thought that he could kill Di Chen initially, but he never thought that there would be such a huge gap between him and Di Chen.


    "This ¡­" Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. Fang Xin had already used his martial soul, but he still couldn''t withstand a single blow?


    Liang Xinghe walked out, and said while smiling: "This competition, you ¡­."


    But before Liang Xinghe could announce the result, Di Chen suddenly took a step forward and punched again.


    Liang Xinghe''s expression changed: "Di Chen, what are you doing? You''ve already won, you can''t kill him."


    This scene was too sudden, no one expected that Di Chen would still want to kill him after defeating Fang Xin, and for a moment, no one was able to stop him.


    "Don''t kill me ¡­" Fang Xin was really afraid this time. He never would have thought that Liang Xinghe would announce the results of the competition and still want to kill him. He collapsed onto the ground and had no way of moving.


    Di Chen had already pounced in front of Fang Xin and smashed his fist ruthlessly into Fang Xin''s chest. With a loud bang, a huge crater was smashed into the ground, and Fang Xin''s entire person was smashed into the subterranean, dying on the spot.


    "This Di Chen is too daring, isn''t he? Vice Principal Liang wants to announce the result, but he still wants to kill people?"


    "What grudge does he have with Fang Xin? I heard that many of the geniuses in A class were killed by him, could it be that he wants to kill all of them?"


    The people below the stage were discussing amongst themselves, looking at Di Chen strangely.


    "Di Chen..." Liang Xinghe roared, although he did not look at the consequences of the competition, the problem was that Di Chen had gone overboard in killing people after his opponent did not even have enough strength to fight back, even Liang Xinghe was a little angry this time.


    Jin Kai whispered into the Flame Emperor''s ear: "This Di Chen is a bit murderous. Your Majesty, such a person must be careful."


    Previously, Jin Kai thought that Di Chen was a dangerous person, but now that Di Chen had killed him, he suspected that Di Chen had the personality of plotting against him.


    Ai Lun retorted in a low voice: "Prime Minister, you are worrying too much, this Fang Xin is too vicious, I can tell that he also wanted to kill this Di Chen before, I think that there must be some sort of enmity between the two of them, it is understandable for him to kill us, it is not worth making a fuss about."


    Jin Kai knew that Ai Lun was optimistic about him, and did not argue with him, but Flame Emperor smiled lightly, and was getting more and more interested in Di Chen. He thought to himself that this might not be a person who wanted to rebel, but he was definitely a rebellious person, and this kind of person might be of great use to him.


    Mu Zhongli did not expect Di Chen to do this either. He shook his head slightly, looked at Liang Xinghe, and said, "Forget it, let''s continue."


    Liang Xinghe did not blame Di Chen, but he still warned him: "Di Chen, leave a trace of yourself in doing things, you cannot be too extreme, do you understand?"


    Di Chen bowed and said: "Di Chen will remember this."


    Liang Xinghe cursed in his heart, and thought that he had admitted his mistake rather quickly. He sent people to carry Fang Xin''s body away, then looked at the audience: Who else is willing to challenge Di Chen?


    Everyone below the stage looked at each other, no one dared to go up on stage, if it was anyone else, they would probably want to go up on stage to display their talent and strength, but Di Chen seemed to have killed countless geniuses of A class, how could they dare to go on stage?


    Liang Xinghe secretly cursed, he thought that he should not have allowed Di Chen to go up onto the stage so quickly. In the end, he was so scared that no one dared to, could it be that the competition for the Lifestealer Realm ranking would end so soon?


    "Let me do it," At that moment, a female voice came out, causing everyone to look towards the direction of the voice, it was Cao Yuer.


    Cao Yuer''s previous talent was average, but Cao Yuer had found a Spirit Opening Pill at an old location in Eternal Gate. Currently, there were not many people in the entire Sky Realm Academy who could compare to Cao Yuer, so everyone thought that Cao Yuer was probably the only one who could fight.


    Cao Yuer walked to the stage, and Liang Xinghe retreated back, giving the stage to Di Chen and Cao Yuer.


    Di Chen''s heart went cold, he previously admitted that he did not save anyone, but now, he was afraid that Cao Yuer would not believe him.


    "Yu''er," Di Chen advised. "I don''t want to fight you, you can leave now."


    Cao Yuer''s killing intent soared, his attacks would definitely not show mercy, if Di Chen wanted to defeat her, he would have to use his full strength, and would probably accidentally hurt her, which was what Di Chen did not want to see the most.


    Cao Yuer did not care about all this. Clenching her fist, she said: "You have killed a few people, and you will not kill one more, Di Chen, if you do not kill me today, I will kill you."


    had already said that she would not go overboard, but Cao Yuer had clearly said that they would fight to the death, so how much did she want to kill Di Chen?


    "Go and die," Cao Yuer said as she suddenly rushed towards Di Chen, and ferociously punched.


    This strike was simply too much of a breakthrough, Di Chen never expected that she would really want to kill him. He was unable to dodge in time, and was directly struck by the fist, causing his entire body to fly backwards.


    "Yu''er, things are different from what you imagined." Di Chen was shocked, if this continued, he would definitely be killed, but Di Chen really did not want to fight with Cao Yuer.


    Cao Yuer didn''t even listen as she took another step towards Di Chen. Another palm struck towards him as the spirit energy turned into a palm that pushed towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen said as he could tell that this strike was much stronger than Fang Xin''s previous attacks. He did not dare to be careless, and immediately took out his Sky Evolution Brush and wrote the word "Break" to meet the palm print.


    The palm print and "Break" word clashed, and with a rumbling sound, the word "Break" was instantly scattered, a ripple swept out and directly blew Di Chen off the stage, causing him to not be able to stand up even after smashing onto the ground.


    This "Broken" formula was able to defeat Fang Xin''s martial soul just now, but it could not withstand a single blow from Cao Yuer.


    "This Cao Yuer is this strong?" No one thought that Cao Yuer had already grown to her current level. Even Di Chen could not beat him, back then, this guy did not even have the qualifications to enter the Sky Realm Academy.


    "You killed my sister, today I will take revenge for her," Cao Yuer said as she took a step towards Di Chen, and actually still wanted to kill him.


    Di Chen was injured, but he could not move his body, so how could he avoid this attack?


    Right at that moment, Yang Mengqi suddenly appeared beside Di Chen, with a wave of her hand, a gust of wind immediately blew Cao Yuer away.


    It seemed that Cao Yuer hated Di Chen to the core and still wanted to charge forward to kill Di Chen.


    Yang Mengqi scoffed, "Cao Yuer, are you done yet?"


    "Today, I must kill Di Chen," Cao Yuer didn''t even want to hear what Yang Mengqi had said and continued to rush over.


    Yang Mengqi squinted her eyes and released a burst of killing intent. She treated Di Chen very well, but she always had the intention to kill Cao Yuer whenever she wanted to.


    Just then, Liang Xinghe suddenly landed in front of Cao Yuer, pulled him back, and berated him: "Alright, your fight is over, you have already won."


    "I ¡­" Cao Yuer clenched her teeth, her tears almost flowing out. She looked at Di Chen unhappily, but she knew that with so many people blocking his way, she would no longer be able to kill Di Chen.


    Di Chen did not know how to explain it to Cao Yuer. Now that Fang Xin was dead, he was afraid that he would never be able to explain it to him.


    The students might not be able to tell, but the teachers knew that Di Chen had not used his full strength previously. Otherwise, he would not have been injured like this by Cao Yuer, seems like there was some secret behind it.


    Liang Xinghe pulled Cao Yuer up onto the stage and said while looking at the audience: Anyone else wants to challenge Yu''er?


    The people below the stage were silent. Cao Yuer''s killing intent was heavy, even Di Chen was not her match, who among the Lifestealer Realm could defeat her?


    Liang Xinghe felt a little awkward when no one took off the stage for the moment. There were so many Lifestealer Realm students in the entire Sky Realm Academy, and only three of them had only come on stage.

 C111

    Cao Yuer stood alone on stage, with her heavy killing intent, for a moment, no one dared to challenge her.


    Flame Emperor immediately walked out and smiled: "How about this, I will let the Golden Guard compress his cultivation level to fight with you guys, and whoever performs well, I will let him choose an item from among these prizes, until the gift is complete."


    Hearing Flame Emperor''s words, the audience immediately burst into cheers, Cao Yuer knew how to kill people, most likely the Golden Guard would not, thus she would have the chance to show off.


    The Flame Emperor looked at Mu Zhongli and smiled. "I wonder what Principal Mu thinks?"


    Mu Zhongli thought that this wouldn''t take long, so he nodded with a smile, "I''ll be troubling Your Majesty."


    Only then did Flame Emperor look at Golden Guard. "Compress your cultivation to the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm. Bear in mind, you cannot harm others."


    The Golden Guard nodded and suppressed his cultivation as he walked onto the stage.


    Flame Emperor looked at Cao Yuer and said, "Since you''re on stage, then you should be the first one to try it out.


    The hatred in Cao Yuer''s heart was very strong, she only wanted to kill him to vent her anger, how could she care so much? Without waiting for the Flame Emperor to finish speaking, she took a step towards the Golden Guard and punched out.


    The Golden Guard did not show any weakness as he punched the gigantic palm image. With a pfft sound, the palm image immediately collapsed, turning into a gust of wind and dispersed. However, the Golden Guard was also forced back a few steps.


    Cao Yuer took the chance and gave chase, continuing her attacks on Golden Guard. The strong wind was sharp, and every fist was like a mountain pressing on Golden Guard.


    "Hmm?" If he was not careful, he might even die in his hands. How could he dare be careless, the spirit energy inside his fist, he punched out, and the spirit energy turned into a ten foot white tiger that pounced towards Cao Yuer. The white tiger roared loudly, and with a loud roar, it charged straight at.


    Cao Yuer''s fist landed on the White Tiger''s shadow, causing the White Tiger to immediately fall apart, while Cao Yuer was also forced to retreat, blood trickling down from the corner of her mouth.


    Golden Guard had shown mercy on this punch, if not Cao Yuer''s injuries would not be so light.


    Cao Yuer was obviously not aware of this point. Pointing to the center of her brows, a sharp sword flew out from between her eyebrows and shot towards Golden Guard.


    When a person''s strength increased, her martial soul would also continuously increase. Previously, when Cao Yuer was fighting with Li Xin, she had used Sword Martial Spirit, but at that time, she simply did not have such power.


    "You want to kill me?" Golden Guard could see that Cao Yuer wanted to kill him, but his eyes turned cold. She did not have any intention to kill sher, but she kept pushing him to the side, and if this continued, he would be in danger. He immediately took out a big blade and slashed at the Sword Martial Spirit.


    The Golden Thread Blade cut through metal like mud, even those demonic beast with hard bodies would be killed by the Golden Guard.


    The Golden Guard slashed at Cao Yuer''s Sword Martial Spirit and the Sword Martial Spirit was bounced back. The Golden Guard also retreated a step and a ripple spread out in all directions, causing everyone to be pushed back a few steps.


    Once again, Cao Yuer controlled the Sword Martial Spirit to shoot towards him. Seeing that Cao Yuer was pestering him nonstop, the Golden Guard was enraged, the spirit energy in her body poured out once again and with a loud roar, she ruthlessly slashed at the martial soul.


    Puff!


    Sword Martial Spirit was immediately scattered apart, while Cao Yuer flew out as well, smashing heavily onto the ground as she spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "I never thought that I would still not be able to defeat the Golden Guard," the audience thought to themselves. They all thought that Cao Yuer was probably the strongest person among the Lifestealer Realm, but facing the Golden Guard, they had no way of fighting back.


    Just as she was about to announce the results, something unexpected happened. Golden Guard took a big stride forward, and the gold threaded blade actually slashed towards Cao Yuer, wanting to kill her.


    "I can''t," Flame Emperor didn''t think of this scene, but thinking about it, it was understandable. Just a moment ago, Cao Yuer wanted to kill Golden Guard, but Golden Guard had already tolerated it several times, as a warrior with heavy killing intent, he had already tolerated Cao Yuer to the limit, so of course he would be unable to resist killing Cao Yuer.


    It was just that this scene was too sudden, with the two of them being so close to each other, no one could save Cao Yuer right now.


    However, just at this time, a spear suddenly shot towards Golden Guard. The spear wind was sharp, if it hit Golden Guard, it would kill Golden Guard.


    Golden Guard hastily gave up on killing Cao Yuer, and used the gold threaded blade to meet the spear. Bang!


    "It''s Di Chen?" Everyone turned to see that it was Di Chen who had blocked Golden Guard''s attack. But Cao Yuer had defeated Di Chen earlier, and now with Di Chen''s attack he was actually able to destroy Golden Guard''s golden silk blade?


    Seeing this scene, how could everyone not understand that Di Chen did not use his full strength in his fight with Cao Yuer. Di Chen''s true strength was much stronger than they had imagined.


    "It can actually destroy the golden silk blade?" Flame Emperor was secretly surprised. The weapons sent out by the imperial government were all top-notch weapons. It would not be easy to destroy them.


    Cao Yuer looked at Di Chen hatefully and roared, "Who asked you to save me? You can watch my sister die and why not watch me die.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly, thinking that no matter what he did, Cao Yuer would never forgive him.


    Liang Xinghe helped Cao Yuer up, and said: "You''ve lost, you can leave now."


    Cao Yuer coldly looked at Di Chen and said, "Sooner or later, I will kill you."


    This made Cao Yuer even more unconvinced. On the contrary, she wanted to kill Di Chen even more, but now she did not have the chance. After saying that, she left.


    Yang Mengqi comforted Di Chen when she saw his distress: "You don''t have to be sad, just stay away from Cao Yuer in the future."


    Di Chen nodded in a daze, and thought about how the relationship between the two of them was so good previously, but now, it had become such a life-or-death situation.


    Liang Xinghe then looked at the academy below the stage and said, "Who else wants to challenge the Golden Guard?"


    "Principal Liang," At this time, the Golden Guard pointed at Di Chen and said, "I would like to exchange some pointers with this little brother of mine."


    Previously, when Di Chen had destroyed Golden Guard''s golden silk blade, Golden Guard was not convinced.


    Principal Liang said with a frown, "This is a competition for the Sky Realm Academy''s ranking. This Di Chen has already lost to Cao Yuer earlier, and Cao Yuer lost to you.


    Flame Emperor laughed: "Vice Principal Liang, you can''t say that. You also saw that Di Chen didn''t use his full strength earlier, even if you asked him to come up and fight with the Golden Guard. I also want to see what the difference is between literati and a martial artist."


    It was very easy for Di Chen to kill him, and he had held back his strength when fighting with Cao Yuer. The Flame Emperor had long known of Di Chen and wanted to see just how strong he was, so he decided to allow Di Chen to return.


    Liang Xinghe could not make a decision, and looked at Mu Zhongli again. Mu Zhongli nodded slightly, he too wanted to see how strong Di Chen was.


    "Alright," Liang Xinghe then said while looking at Di Chen, "You may come up."


    Di Chen looked at Golden Guard, recalled how he almost killed Cao Yuer and became a little angry, then walked up the stage without thinking too much.


    The Golden Guard looked at Di Chen and said: "Just now, the power of this move was very strong, it was actually able to destroy my golden silk blade. I would like to experience it for myself."


    The Golden Guard was a soldier, so he was strong. However, in front of Di Chen, he did not have any advantage at all, and after a few rounds of fighting, the two of them were actually equally matched, with no one being able to win.


    "White Tiger''s Roar," Golden Guard heard a tiger''s roar coming from his arm, he punched out, following that, a white tiger in his arm roared towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen took out his Sky Evolution Pen and used the word "spear" to welcome the white tiger. The word "spear" slowly extended and turned into a long spear that collided with the white tiger.


    Golden Guard punched out a few times, while Di Chen also wrote a few words of "spear". His spear and the white tiger clashed, and ripples of energy swept out, the difference in power was not big.


    If it was before, Di Chen''s "spear" formula s were still unable to withstand the Golden Guard''s White Tiger Roar, but it was different now. Di Chen''s "spear" formula''s power, when used with the Sky Evolution Brush, was increased by ten times, even an expert recruitment like the Golden Guard could resist it.


    "So powerful, looks like I won''t be able to beat you if I don''t use the martial soul," Golden Guard was surprised, he immediately tapped his forehead and a golden blade flew out from between his eyebrows. This blade looked similar to the Golden Thread Blade, but its power was obviously stronger.


    Di Chen then wrote the word "spear" in his hand as he welcomed the blade martial soul. With a pu sound, the blade martial soul pierced through the spear, causing it to instantly dissipate. The blade martial soul continued to slash at Di Chen, if it hit him, Di Chen would definitely die.


    "Not good," Di Chen''s face changed, and he quickly wrote four more "spear" words in succession towards the blade martial soul.


    Bang


    A series of explosions rang out, and all four spears were destroyed. Di Chen''s heart and lungs were also injured, while Golden Guard''s blade martial soul was also pushed back, but Di Chen did not destroy his blade martial soul.


    "Di Chen is indeed not a match for this Golden Guard."


    "Although the Golden Guard suppressed his cultivation, the Flame Emperor''s guards, after all, can''t be compared to ordinary people. It''s normal for Di Chen to lose."


    Everyone knew that Di Chen''s strongest point was this "spear" formula. Now that even this formula was unable to block the Golden Guard''s martial soul, it was likely that Di Chen was no match for the Golden Guard.


    "Such a strong martial soul?" Di Chen''s Spear Arts was his most powerful formula. Previously, he had used the handwritten Spear Arts to destroy Fang Xin''s martial soul, but now, he had used the Sky Spill Brush to write four consecutive words of "spear". Even after using up most of his literary power, he still could not stop the Golden Guard''s sword martial soul.


    The Golden Guard took the chance and chased, the blade martial soul slashed at Di Chen once again.


    "Crap," Flame Emperor said. "Does the Golden Guard want to kill Di Chen?"


    Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli also slightly raised their brows, but the two of them did not attack. They knew that Di Chen still had some tricks he had not used yet.

 C112

    Di Chen cursed, with his own cultivation, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold off the formula, he quickly pressed on his forehead, and a ray of golden light suddenly shot out from between his eyebrows, causing the entire stage to be filled with a golden light, the light piercing everyone''s eyes.


    The light rays were like golden needles that shot towards the blade martial soul, and the blade martial soul was instantly penetrated by the light rays, like a sieve, and completely dispersed very quickly.


    "What is this?" Golden Guard''s face changed, he did not think that his martial soul would be destroyed, so he quickly retreated, but he was still a step too late. Rays of light penetrated Golden Guard''s body, causing holes to appear, and the blood on his body flowed out from the wounds, Golden Guard did not dare to hold back any longer.


    Seeing that the light could not hurt Golden Guard anymore, Di Chen immediately kept the martial soul, but his face was currently pale white, and he had no strength left in his legs, as if he could not even stand up.


    The martial spirit of light was too strong, and the burden on his body was too heavy for Di Chen to handle.


    "I lost," Golden Guard said calmly. At the moment, his entire body was covered in blood, although he did not have any life threatening wounds, his injuries were not light. If not for him releasing his cultivation just now, he would have died at Di Chen''s hands.


    A literati who had cultivated in martial spirit of light would definitely not be a match for him!


    "martial spirit of light?" Flame Emperor was startled, he looked at Mu Zhongli and asked: "Isn''t he the literati? Why would there be a martial soul? "


    The martial soul was something that only warriors could cultivate, but Di Chen was not a warrior. He did not have any elemental energy in his body, yet he could actually cultivate a martial soul?


    If it was just an ordinary martial soul Flame Emperor, he would not be too surprised, but what Di Chen released was the martial spirit of light, how many in this Martial Region Continent could actually cultivate and become a martial spirit of light?


    General Ai Lun and Jin Kai were also surprised, this Di Chen really gave people a lot of surprises.


    Mu Zhongli laughed bitterly: "I don''t know why this is the case, but Di Chen is not a martial artist, but his strength is greater than an ordinary martial practitioner. Furthermore, he trained in the martial spirit of light, so I did not ask him the reason."


    Flame Emperor thought. He thought that Di Chen must have had some sort of fortuitous encounter, he had no idea what kind of fortuitous encounter it was.


    In fact, the reason why Di Chen could cultivate martial soul was because of the Pearl of Life in his body. Since he could absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood, he could be considered as half a warrior. It was just that he did not have any elemental energy.


    "I was wondering why I have never seen Di Chen use his martial soul before, so it turns out to be the martial spirit of light."


    "Of all martial soul, the martial spirit of light is the hardest to cultivate. It''s extremely rare to encounter one in a thousand years, and there aren''t many in the entire Martial Region Continent. I really don''t know how Di Chen cultivates it."


    The people below the stage were all somewhat envious. No wonder Di Chen could kill so many disciples with A class.


    At this time, Flame Emperor walked out, and said while looking at Di Chen: "Looks like this trip was not in vain, to actually be able to see a literati who has cultivated a martial soul. You''re very powerful."


    "literati?" Only now did they understand why there was no elemental energy in Di Chen''s body, and why he seemed to like reading books. So it turned out that he was a literati, but how could a literati cultivate a martial spirit of light?


    Could it be that he cultivates both martial and civil skills? However, it was already difficult for a martial artist to advance. In this world, there were still people who cultivated both martial and martial arts?


    Di Chen knew that he could not hide this matter, and said calmly: "I was just lucky, and had some fortuitous encounters."


    Flame Emperor laughed out loud: "A fortuitous encounter is also a part of one''s strength, I think that this time, there is no one in the Sky Realm Academy who has a better talent than you."


    He waved towards one of the guards and that person walked over. Flame Emperor took out a bottle of pills and said, "This is a Tier 3 Heaven''s Wisdom Pill. This pill was originally meant for Martial King Realm.


    Every grade of the pellet corresponded to a martial artist of the same realm. The medicinal power of the third grade was very strong and it was something that the Martial King Realm s could consume, so it would be too wasteful for them to give it to a Lifestealer Realm warrior. However, the Flame Emperor had currently gifted the prize of the Martial King Realm to Di Chen, one could imagine how much he valued Di Chen.


    A third ranked pill would at least give him two hundred points, everyone below the stage was looking at it with envy, but it was also what Di Chen deserved.


    Di Chen accepted the pill and clasped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty."


    Flame Emperor smiled. "If you are willing, I can send you to court. How about it?"


    When the people below the stage heard this, they immediately went into an uproar. As the ruler of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty, the Flame Emperor was actually trying to rope Di Chen in?


    Jin Kai frowned, Di Chen''s previous article had made him feel that Di Chen had the intention to rebel, and now that Di Chen was extremely talented in cultivation, not killing such a person was like nurturing a tiger and creating trouble for himself, but he could not say it out loud, so Ai Lun did not mind. Instead, he thought highly of Di Chen.


    Mu Zhongli immediately said: "Your Majesty, this isn''t appropriate, Di Chen is a student of our academy, he only has Lifestealer Realm now, if he wants to enter the assembly he must at least graduate from Sky Realm Academy."


    The Flame Emperor laughed: "Dean Mu, don''t worry, I do not want to snatch Di Chen away. This requires Di Chen to be willing."


    It was the first time that everyone had seen the Flame Emperor and Headmaster snatch someone away. They were suddenly envious in their hearts.


    "Your Majesty ¡­" Di Chen was just about to reject her.


    "Your majesty, I want to expose Di Chen," However, right at this moment, a young voice suddenly came from below the stage, it sounded extremely sudden, causing everyone to look over curiously, it was a seven or eight year old child, most of them had not seen him before, but some people knew that this was Yuan Tong that Yang Mengqi had picked up, and that he was not considered to be from Sky Realm Academy, what was he doing here?


    "Yuan Tong," Yang Mengqi did not think that he would do this, how could she not know what Yuan Tong wanted to say?


    Yuan Tong ignored Yang Mengqi, and continued while looking at the Flame Emperor: "Your Majesty, this Di Chen has the heart of a traitor, I want to report him."


    Flame Emperor frowned. "How did you know he was planning to rebel?"


    Yuan Tong took out a book and passed it to the Flame Emperor: "This is a book that Di Chen often reads. I know this is a forbidden book, Di Chen must have had the intention to rebel when reading this book."


    This book was banned from the Thousand Autumn Dynasty many years ago. The main reason was that this book advocated rebellion by others, but this was only the saying of the Imperial Family. No one knew the real reason, but no matter what, this was the forbidden book, reading forbidden books was illegal in the Thousand Autumn Dynasty.


    Di Chen was slightly speechless, he had never thought that Yuan Tong would actually steal the book from his study to report him.


    The people below the stage were speechless. Although this was a forbidden book, the problem was that there were many people in Martial Region Continent who were collecting forbidden books, many officials of the imperial government were all looking at the forbidden book, it could not be considered a conspiracy! Yuan Tong using this book to denounce Di Chen was making a big fuss.


    As the Prime Minister, Jin Kai had naturally seen some forbidden books before, but he did not think that there was any problem with this¡¶ Heaven''s Mandate¡·.


    Yuan Tong would actually use this book to denounce Di Chen. It seemed that he hated Di Chen a lot.


    Flame Emperor laughed. It could be seen that Yuan Tong didn''t seem to like Di Chen as he said, "I will investigate if Di Chen has any thoughts of conspiring against me. Alright, you can leave now."


    Yuan Tong knew that the Flame Emperor did not seem to believe him, and said, "I still have evidence to prove that Di Chen has a bad heart."


    Jin Kai was curious: "What evidence?"


    Yuan Tong shot Di Chen a glance and said, "He has a good relationship with the imperial government for offending Qin Suer. During this period of time, he has been helping Qin Suer to avoid the pursuit of the imperial government."


    "Qin Suer?" Of course she knew that Qin Suer was Qin Zheng''s daughter. Qin Zheng was suspected to be a traitor and had his entire family executed on suspicion, but his daughter''s whereabouts were unknown, the Flame Emperor had always been sending people to search for him, but he could not find where Qin Suer was. He never thought that Qin Suer would actually be together with Di Chen.


    Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli had heard of Qin Suer before, and they never thought that Di Chen would actually hide Qin Suer in the Sky Realm Academy.


    When Yang Mengqi heard Yuan Tong mentioning Qin Suer, her expression also changed, as she berated: "Yuan Tong, what nonsense are you spouting, did you hear me when I told you to go back?"


    Yuan Tong shot a glance at Yang Mengqi and said: "Teacher Yang, I know that my words will make you angry, but it''s true. You can''t protect Di Chen anymore.


    Yang Mengqi was so angry that she had nothing to say, this time she was truly angry.


    "Di Chen," Jin Kai was the first to stand up and berate her, "This Qin Suer is a felon from the imperial government, yet you are actually harbouring her.


    Jin Kai originally did not have a good impression of Di Chen, but now that he had gotten the chance, naturally he wanted to ask Di Chen for his crimes.


    Di Chen had nothing to say. Regardless of whether Qin Zheng was wrongly accused or not, for the time being, Qin Suer was the person accused by the imperial government, and it was the same crime for Di Chen to hide her.


    This time, Ai Lun was unable to help Di Chen, so he could only sigh helplessly.


    In truth, hsheknew that there was something fishy about Qin Zheng, she needed to investigate more. But no matter what, Qin Suer was still suspicious for now, even though he had high hopes for Di Chen, he could not say anything to him.


    "Golden Guard," Jin Kai shouted, "Capture this Di Chen for me."


    Golden Guard immediately went forward, wanting to beat Di Chen up for his crimes.


    Just then, Yang Mengqi suddenly landed beside Di Chen, she knew that she could not protect Di Chen, and said: "Your Majesty, letting Qin Suer stay in medicinal garden was my idea, it was not Di Chen''s idea, if you want to catch me, then do it."


    Yuan Tong never thought that this matter would implicate Yang Mengqi, and said anxiously: "Teacher Yang, this matter is not related to you. It''s not like Di Chen had brought Qin Suer here, you don''t know Qin Suer''s identity, you have only been deceived by him."


    The reason why Yang Mengqi wanted to take revenge was to protect Di Chen, but this Yuan Tong was the one who revealed the truth, causing Yang Mengqi to scold angrily: "Shut your mouth, you are not a student of Sky Realm Academy, you do not have the right to speak here."


    Ever since Di Chen went to medicinal garden, he had been scolded by Yang Mengqi many times, and now she was scolding him in front of everyone. Yuan Tong cried in grievance, in his opinion, he was doing it for Yang Mengqi''s own good, why was she scolding him?

 C113

    Yuan Tong vented his anger on Di Chen again and stared fiercely at Di Chen. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, that Qin Suer is currently in medicinal garden, and Di Chen has been taking care of her all this time. If we send people over now, we''ll definitely catch her."


    Yang Mengqi almost wanted to slap his face when she heard him, but now was not the time to argue.


    Jin Kai immediately shouted: "Golden Guard, go take a look at medicinal garden, if Qin Suer is really in medicinal garden, capture her."


    Golden Guard immediately brought some people to the medicinal garden. Just as Yuan Tong had said, Qin Suer was really in the medicinal garden, and she was quickly caught by the Golden Guard.


    When they saw Qin Suer, they gasped in shock. The students of the Sky Realm Academy all knew that Qin Suer was the criminal under the imperial government, and some of them even went on missions to capture Qin Suer, but they never expected that she was right under their noses.


    Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli also shook their heads, thinking that this Di Chen was too bold, protecting an imperial clansman was fine, but he was still hiding in the Sky Realm Academy, if the Flame Emperor were to blame, the Sky Realm Academy would probably be in trouble.


    Seeing Qin Suer''s reaction, Di Chen knew that she had suffered a while ago and wanted to go and save her. At this time, Yang Mengqi pulled Di Chen back, and at this time, Di Chen could no longer be associated with him.


    Qin Suer also didn''t want to implicate Di Chen, so she only gave him a slight glance, and didn''t speak to Di Chen.


    "Di Chen," Jin Kai bellowed: "The witness and evidence are all here, do you still have anything else to say?"


    Di Chen was speechless. He had already known this day would come sooner or later, back when he was still in Ling''an City.


    Yang Mengqi anxiously tried to defend Di Chen: "This matter has nothing to do with Di Chen, I was the one who brought Qin Suer to medicinal garden."


    Mu Zhongli was afraid that this would implicate Yang Mengqi, so he immediately said, "Mengqi, don''t speak nonsense. What does this have to do with you."


    Yang Mengqi said: "You all know that there is something wrong with my heart, and Qin Suer''s acupuncture points can cure it, so I let her treat it for me, Di Chen did not know about this."


    Mu Zhongli was speechless. Everyone in the Sky Realm Academy knew that Yang Mengqi had a heart attack, and in this period of time, Yang Mengqi''s body seemed to have recovered more than before, so everyone knew that it was Qin Suer who was treating him. However, if this matter was related to Yang Mengqi, it would definitely implicate the entire academy.


    Liang Xinghe knew that this matter had nothing to do with Yang Mengqi, so he looked at Di Chen and signaled him not to implicate the academy.


    Di Chen also did not want Yang Mengqi to bear the burden of this matter, so he said: "Teacher Yang does not know about this, I brought Qin Suer to medicinal garden, and changed her name."


    Jin Kai berated: "We will naturally investigate whoever is involved. Golden Guard, first..."


    He originally wanted to capture Di Chen and Yang Mengqi, but if it was like this, he would definitely offend the Sky Realm Academy. There were also many strong warriors in the Sky Realm Academy, so it was not worth it to offend them.


    Flame Emperor immediately stopped them with a wave of his hand: "I believe that this matter has nothing to do with the Sky Realm Academy.


    Qin Suer said anxiously: "This matter has nothing to do with anyone, they do not even know who I am, if you want to capture me, then capture me."


    No one paid attention to her. Golden Guard immediately walked towards Di Chen.


    When Yang Mengqi''s spirit energy gushed out, she had the impulse to attack. Mu Zhongli immediately shook his head, signalling for her not to do anything rash. Yang Mengqi also knew that this would implicate the academy, so she retracted her spirit energy after thinking about it.


    "Wait," At this moment, a man suddenly rushed up onto the stage. It was Qiu Tang, he was not famous in Sky Realm Academy, and very few people knew who he was, and when they saw him rush up the stage, they couldn''t help but be confused, thinking to themselves, who is he, and why is he qualified to participate in this?


    Flame Emperor was not surprised to see Qiu Tang, but Jin Kai and Jin Kai knew, and the two of them were slightly surprised. Flame Emperor actually sent the Fourteenth Prince to the Sky Realm Academy?


    Qiu Tang bowed to the Flame Emperor, "royal father, this has nothing to do with Di Chen. I was the one who brought Qin Suer to the medicinal garden."


    "royal father?" Hearing this address, the audience was once again shocked. This fellow was actually a prince?


    Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli had long guessed Qiu Tang''s identity, but Di Chen and Qin Suer didn''t know it. The two of them were a little surprised, no wonder they felt that his identity was not ordinary.


    "You brought it?" Previously, he had asked Qiu Tang to investigate Di Chen. Obviously, Qiu Tang knew about the relationship between Di Chen and the Flame Emperor, but Qiu Tang did not tell the Flame Emperor about it.


    "Yes," Qiu Tang said calmly. "Previously, Lord Hong had sent Yang Jue to capture Qin Suer, and I was the one who saved Qin Suer and then sent her to medicinal garden.


    Flame Emperor frowned even more. He never thought that not only did Qiu Tang trust Di Chen, he even saved Qin Suer from him. Could it be that he did not know that Qin Suer was an enemy of the imperial government?


    Now, Qiu Tang had actually guaranteed in front of so many people that one person would not have the heart to rebel, then, he had placed himself in this conspiracy. Doing so would not only bring him danger, but also bring trouble to the Imperial Family.


    After all, conspiring against others is a huge crime. How can you guarantee the crime of a court official before you investigate it?


    How could the Flame Emperor not know that Qin Suer was not a threat to the imperial government? Just that, although such matters had to be resolved in the imperial government, he could not speak of it in front of outsiders.


    "How do you promise?" He knew that the Fourteenth Prince was usually calm, but the things that they had done today were too impulsive.


    Qiu Tang was silent for a moment, then said: "This son is willing to vouch for himself, the two of them definitely do not have any intention of conspiring against each other."


    Flame Emperor said sternly: "Since you say that this matter has nothing to do with Di Chen, then I will capture you. Let this Di Chen go, if there are any problems with him, I will punish him with your words, Golden Guard, and arrest Qiu Tang."


    "Your Majesty, this shouldn''t be right," Jin Kai said in shock. He never thought that this matter would be implicated to such an extent, to the point where Qiu Tang would vouch for an accomplice.


    Ai Lun also advised: "That''s right, we have yet to investigate this matter, I believe that Fourteenth Prince would not do such a foolish thing."


    Flame Emperor snorted. "He was willing to vouch for a criminal. Naturally, he would bear the responsibility."


    Ai Lun and Jin Kai saw that the Flame Emperor seemed to have made up his mind, so they did not say anything more.


    Just then, Golden Guard walked over and sent someone to abduct Qin Suer and Qiu Tang.


    "Qiu Tang, why do you need to vouch for me," Qin Suer did not expect Qiu Tang to do this.


    Qiu Tang smiled and said: "I believe in you and Di Chen."


    Qiu Tang was taken away by the Golden Guard, but when he passed by Di Chen, he laughed: "Cultivate properly, don''t waste the chance I gave you."


    Originally, the one that should have been brought away was him, but he didn''t think that the one that would be brought away would be Qiu Tang. Di Chen was shocked, but at the same time, felt a little grateful as he said: "This matter originally had nothing to do with you.


    Qiu Tang laughed, and did not say much more, and then the Golden Guard in front of everyone pushed Qin Suer and Qiu Tang away.


    Although Yang Mengqi was also a little unwilling to part with Qin Suer, she was even more unwilling to part with Di Chen. As long as Di Chen was fine, everything would be fine.


    Flame Emperor stared at Di Chen for a while and said: "Although this matter is unrelated to you, you are still related to Qin Suer, but since Qiu Tang is willing to shoulder the responsibility for you, I will let you go, but you cannot stay in Sky Realm Academy."


    "Your Majesty ¡­" This time, even Liang Xinghe was a little unwilling. Di Chen was a genius after all, it was a pity to be kicked out of the academy like this.


    Flame Emperor waved his hand to stop him. "It''s decided."


    Then, he looked at Di Chen and said: "What else do you have to say?"


    Di Chen shook his head. He was actually a literati, it didn''t matter if he stayed in the academy or not.


    Qiu Tang will take responsibility for you. If one day I find out that there is a problem between Qin Suer and you, I will kill Qiu Tang. You better take care of yourself. "


    Di Chen obviously did not believe that Qin Suer had a problem. He nodded and then bowed towards Mu Zhongli before turning to Yang Mengqi and said, "Teacher Yang, I''m going. Take care."


    Yang Mengqi knew that Di Chen would leave the Sky Realm Academy sooner or later, but she never thought that she would be unable to change anything in this kind of situation. She said: "Cultivate properly in the future, I believe that you will definitely become a literary saint in the future."


    Other than Yang Mengqi, the one Di Chen wanted to see the most was Shang Yu. However, at this time, he didn''t know where she was and he couldn''t see Di Chen either.


    Everyone stared at Di Chen, thinking that he had performed the best today, and would shock the whole world with one move, but they never thought that he would still be forced to leave the Academy in the end.


    Yuan Tong, on the other hand, had a joyful expression. What he hated the most was Di Chen, and now that Di Chen had finally left, how could he not be happy. Like this, no one would disturb him and Yang Mengqi in the future.


    "Yuan Tong," At this moment, Yang Mengqi said coldly: "You can leave too, don''t come to my medicinal garden from now on."


    "What?" Yuan Tong was originally happy, but he did not expect Yang Mengqi to say that. He cried: "Sister Qi, are you really forcing me to leave medicinal garden?"


    "You brought this upon yourself," Yang Mengqi said coldly. She did not even glance at Yuan Tong, and if not for him, Di Chen would not have left the Sky Realm Academy.


    "I ¡­" Yuan Tong still wanted to say something, but seeing that Yang Mengqi had already made up his mind, she knew that she would not change her mind, so she could only swallow her words and wipe her tears away. She then walked out of the academy, and turning back three times in a single step, she realized that he was not a student of the academy.

    Who would have thought a good match would turn out like this?


    Flame Emperor said apologetically, "Dean Mu, I''m really sorry. I didn''t expect to disturb your academy''s competition. I''ll personally pay respects to Dean Mu another day."


    Mu Zhongli did not dare to allow the Flame Emperor to pay his respects. He said with a wry smile, "This was also the negligence of our students. I really didn''t expect that there would be a court offender hiding here."


    Actually, this matter had nothing to do with the Sky Realm Academy, or even Di Chen, or Qiu Tang. was not worth worrying about, but since Yuan Tong had put this matter on the table, the Flame Emperor could not pretend that nothing had happened.


    To be honest, Flame Emperor was not angry at Di Chen, but at Yuan Tong who did not understand the big picture. He was angry at Qiu Tang for taking the initiative to take responsibility, if Qiu Tang had only told him in private that the Flame Emperor would not be so angry today.


    "It''s not convenient for me to stay in this competition any longer, I can just let Prime Minister and General Ai stay here."


    The Flame Emperor cupped his fists towards Mu Zhongli and said, "Principal Mu, I''m really sorry."


    Flame Emperor no longer had the mood to watch the competition after being harassed like this. He apologized to Principal Mu and immediately left, but Jin Kai and Ai Lun stayed behind.


    Mu Zhongli continued to compete, but it was obvious that some of the students were no longer in the mood to continue. The entire match was lifeless, and even he, the dean, was not in the mood to watch.


    What happened just now was very sudden, but the Flame Emperor''s reaction made Mu Zhongli feel a little strange. Who wouldn''t know that the Flame Emperor was trying to drive Di Chen out of the academy on purpose?


    The people of the imperial government were really scheming, but even if Mu Zhongli knew about it, he couldn''t say it out loud.


    After Flame Emperor left, he went to his own room, where Qiu Tang was already waiting for him.


    "You were too rash just now," Flame Emperor said angrily. Just now, Qiu Tang had guaranteed the crime of becoming the head of the imperial court in front of so many people.


    Qiu Tang laughed bitterly: "royal father, you should know that Imperial Physician Qin was probably framed by people. You should be very clear about whether or not he was conspiring against us, and I have interacted with Qin Suer for a few days, she has been studying pathology in the academy everyday and concocting medicine, so she does not have any thoughts of conspiring against us. The truth is, the reason I helped them guarantee it is because Di Chen and Qin Suer are both talented people, I cannot bear to see them being persecuted."


    How could the Flame Emperor not understand that Qin Suer was Qin Zheng''s daughter, one of Qin Zheng''s heirlooms, an expert in medical skills, and Di Chen was a literati. He also trained in the martial spirit of light, so Qiu Tang only wanted to win them over.


    If Qiu Tang had only spoken up for the two of them in private, maybe the two would not be so grateful to Qiu Tang, but now, as a prince, Qiu Tang had actually guaranteed their relationship in front of so many people. This was not something an ordinary person could do, Di Chen would definitely be grateful to Qiu Tang.


    Flame Emperor knew Qiu Tang''s thoughts, he only felt that Qiu Tang''s actions were too radical. All of this was built on the foundation that Di Chen and Qin Suer did not have any ill intentions.


    "That''s right," Qiu Tang asked curiously. "Where''s Di Chen?"


    Flame Emperor said, "I have already expelled him from the Sky Realm Academy."


    Qiu Tang thought for a while and said: "Then can I recruit Di Chen?"


    Flame Emperor shook his head: "I just forced Di Chen out of the Sky Realm Academy, and in the blink of an eye, I had already recruited Di Chen, that doesn''t make sense, but I will send people to keep an eye on Di Chen, and when the time is right, I will recruit him into the imperial court, at that time, even if he doesn''t want to, he will not be able to agree."


    It was very hard to find someone like the Flame Emperor who had cultivated in the martial soul, so how could he miss out on someone as talented as Di Chen? Therefore, the Flame Emperor did not capture Di Chen just now but instead took the opportunity to let Di Chen leave the Sky Realm Academy, only then would the imperial government have the chance to recruit Di Chen.


    Mu Zhongli was also a smart person, how could he not see through the Flame Emperor''s intentions? However, he could not say much about this matter, since Di Chen and Qin Suer were related.


    Qiu Tang thought for a while, then asked: "royal father, what about Qin Suer?"


    Flame Emperor stared at Qiu Tang for a while and frowned, "The reason you came out to vouch for them was not only because you trust them, but because you have fallen for Qin Suer?"


    Qiu Tang originally wanted to refute him, but the words that were just about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back. It was indeed because he liked Qin Suer that he guaranteed his words.


    Flame Emperor was silent for a moment, then said: "There must be a reason behind Qin Zheng''s matter, and I believe that he will not rebel, but he is already dead, so there is no need to bother with this matter, as for Qin Suer, she is also considered to be a capable doctor, I will spare her life, just forget it, I will take credit for my crimes."


    Qiu Tang heaved a sigh of relief. To him, it was best if Qin Suer was fine.


    Outside the Sky Realm Academy!


    Di Chen stood alone at the entrance of the academy. Not long after entering the academy, he was chased out, and if big brother Shang Yu knew about this, he would probably be enraged. On the other hand, Di Chen had nothing to do with leaving the Sky Realm Academy, it was just that Di Chen was a little regretful that he had not seen Shang Yu before.


    Di Chen sighed, he turned and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Liu Jingjing standing behind him with her hands behind her back, smiling at him.


    "Jingjing?" Di Chen was startled: "Why are you here?"


    Liu Jingjing chuckled: "Didn''t you promise me before that if you leave the Sky Realm Academy one day, you would bring me along?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "But I was kicked out of the academy."


    Liu Jingjing walked over to Di Chen''s side and grabbed his arm: "It''s alright, I''ll go with you."


    Di Chen originally thought that Liu Jingjing was just joking, he didn''t think that she would actually really want to leave with him. He thought for a moment, "But leaving the Sky Realm Academy''s cultivation grounds will be very difficult, are you sure?"


    Liu Jingjing took out a few medicinal pellets and said: "I had already exchanged all my points for pellets, not a single bit was left. Di Chen, I did not leave any traces for myself, you would not object, right?"


    Just how many people wanted to join the Sky Realm Academy without being able to do so? But now that Liu Jingjing had left the Sky Realm Academy, they could only imagine how much sacrifice she had made for Di Chen.


    Di Chen thought that since she had already reached such a level, he would not reject her again. He nodded his head: "Let''s go, I''ll bring you to meet someone."


    Following that, Di Chen brought Liu Jingjing to meet Lin Tao, and ever since Qin Suer had been discovered by the yamen, he had also changed his residence. During this period of time, Di Chen was busy with cultivation, and did not look for Lin Tao, he did not know how he was faring.


    An hour later, Di Chen arrived at the inn where Lin Tao was staying. Inside the room, Lin Tao was cultivating, and when Di Chen saw Lin Tao, he realized that he had broken through to the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, which surprised Di Chen a little. Lin Tao did not have that kind of realm before his meridians were broken, he did not expect him to break through so quickly.


    "Di Chen," Lin Tao said with a face full of doubt, "I heard that today is the day of the competition for the Sky Realm Academy''s ranking.


    Di Chen said helplessly, "I''ve been expelled from the academy."


    Lin Tao exclaimed in surprise, "What''s going on?"


    Di Chen recounted what happened earlier to Lin Tao. When he heard it, his face was filled with incredulity, he knew that Di Chen was considered a genius in the Sky Realm Academy, but he never expected that he would be kicked out of the academy like this.


    "Oh right," Lin Tao said worriedly, "I never thought that Qiu Tang would actually be a prince. That Qin Suer should be fine, right?"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said, "With Qiu Tang''s guarantee, Qin Suer should be fine. But actually, this is also good, with Qiu Tang protecting her, she won''t be in any danger. At least she won''t have to hide and hide anymore."


    Di Chen could tell that the Flame Emperor seemed to really like the prince Qiu Tang, otherwise, he wouldn''t be sent out. With Qiu Tang''s protection, no one dared to hurt her, and this was better than running around with Di Chen.


    Lin Tao curiously looked at Liu Jingjing and asked: "Oh yes, this is?"


    Di Chen introduced her with a smile: "She''s Liu Jingjing. She also withdrew from the Academy.


    Liu Jingjing was a very beautiful Girl, he suddenly thought that Di Chen might have some sort of special relationship with her.


    "Where''s Shang Yu?" Lin Tao asked, he had not seen Shang Yu for a while too, Di Chen always had different girls by his side and he was suddenly worried for Shang Yu.


    Di Chen shook his head. "Ever since I entered the Sky Realm Academy, I have never seen Shang Yu again, she seems to be different from us ordinary disciples. She still doesn''t know about my expulsion from the academy."


    Liu Jingjing explained: "Actually Sky Realm Academy still has a group of secret students, these students usually do not easily reveal themselves, their talent is even better than the A class students, these people are all directly taught by the elders of the academy, Shang Yu is one of them."


    "Secret student?" Di Chen had never heard of such things. He thought that after Cao Yuer swallowed the Spirit Opening Pill, her Inherent Skill would be very good, but she could still only stay in the A class. However, there was still a group of disciples who had better Inherent Skills than the A class students.


    Di Chen already knew that Shang Yu was not a simple person. Only now did he know that Shang Yu was much stronger than he had imagined, he thought to himself that maybe Shang Yu''s realm was also much higher than his.


    "That''s right," Lin Tao asked, "So, what do you plan to do now?"


    Di Chen hesitated for a moment before saying: "I''m planning to travel around, I just want to ask if you''re coming with me."


    "Alright," Lin Tao said without hesitation. He was unfamiliar with this place in the Millennium City, and his realm was too low, so it would be difficult for a single person to accomplish anything. It would be better for him to go and see the world with Di Chen.


    Di Chen helped Lin Tao pack up before preparing to leave the tavern. Not long after he left, Di Chen saw a skinny and small figure, it was actually Yuan Tong.


    Di Chen shook his head slightly, thinking that he actually didn''t disturb Yuan Tong''s life. But he just had to do such a useless thing, not to mention the Teacher Yang, even the Principal and Flame Emperor would be angry, so how could he understand the matters of the imperial government?

 C115

    Yuan Tong stared at Di Chen hatefully, and suddenly rushed towards Di Chen crazily, not caring if he could defeat Di Chen or not.


    Yuan Tong smashed his fist heavily onto the ground, but this fist was not heavy at all. Yuan Tong crawled up and continued to charge towards Di Chen, and was once again knocked down by Di Chen. However, Yuan Tong did not give up as he charged towards Di Chen time and time again, and was always knocked down by Di Chen.


    The two of them did not speak, since Yuan Tong was not going to be polite with him, he was beaten to the point that Di Chen started bleeding and could not stand up again.


    Lin Tao did not understand the reason, and frowned: "Di Chen, what exactly is going on? Why is this child so resentful towards you?"


    Liu Jingjing angrily explained: "If it wasn''t for him, Di Chen wouldn''t have been kicked out of the academy, and even more so, he wouldn''t have been captured ¡­"


    She briefly explained the situation.


    Lin Tao was furious and said angrily, "If this wasn''t a child, I would have killed him long ago."


    "Let''s go," Di Chen was too lazy to bother with him, he went around Yuan Tong and prepared to leave.


    "Di Chen," Yuan Tong yelled. "You were the one who ruined my life, the one who made me be hated by big sister Qi. Remember this, one day, I will kill you."


    Di Chen turned to look at Yuan Tong and laughed, but did not say a word and turned to leave. Yuan Tong was not a warrior, even if he had talent, it would still be difficult to surpass him, so Di Chen did not think that Yuan Tong would bring him any trouble.


    Yuan Tong could tell that Di Chen had not placed him in his eyes at all. He stared fixedly at Di Chen, and only after Di Chen had disappeared from his sight did he stand up and leave.


    Liu Jingjing reminded: "Di Chen, it seems that this Yuan Tong will not let this go easily."


    Di Chen laughed: This Martial Region Continent is so powerful, I might not even have a chance to meet him again in the future, what am I afraid of? Furthermore, he is already eight or nine years old and has never cultivated before.


    Liu Jingjing thought that this was true, she was afraid that the two of them would not even have the chance to meet again in the future, and even if Yuan Tong wanted to seek revenge against Di Chen, there was no guarantee that he would get the chance.


    Not long after they left the city, they saw two familiar people. It was Zhao Fusheng and Zhao Waner.


    Di Chen was startled, looked at Zhao Fusheng and asked: "Why is Old Master Zhao here?"


    Zhao Fusheng laughed, "I was waiting for you."


    "Wait for me?" Di Chen''s face was full of doubt, but he quickly came to an understanding as he said with a wry smile, "Looks like Old Master Zhao also knows that I was chased out of the Heavenly Academy."


    Zhao Fusheng had always been paying attention to Di Chen, so how could he not know what had happened today?


    Zhao Waner squinted her eyes and smiled: "Di Chen, this time you won''t be able to reject us right?"


    Lin Tao had a face of doubt: "Di Chen, who are they, what exactly do they mean by that?"


    Di Chen explained, "This is Old Master Zhao Fusheng, he''s the Vice Principal of Famous Sword Academy. This is Miss Wan''er, his granddaughter.


    "What?" Of course he knew that Famous Sword Academy was one of the three great academies of the Martial Region Continent. This academy focused on swords, and Lin Tao had always wanted to enter the Famous Sword Academy.


    Di Chen said with a wry smile, "I believe Elder Zhao should know why I was kicked out of the academy. If you accept me into the Famous Sword Academy, isn''t that against your majesty''s intentions?"


    Di Chen was personally expelled from the academy by the Flame Emperor. Logically speaking, it would be impossible for ordinary academies to recruit Di Chen again, and now that the Famous Sword Academy had done this, it was against the orders of the Royal Academy.


    Zhao Fusheng chuckled, "Of course I know how you were kicked out of the Sky Realm Academy, but Your Majesty never said that you were not allowed to enter other academies. I believe the Flame Emperor wouldn''t blame our Famous Sword Academy for this matter."


    The Flame Emperor did not make things difficult for Di Chen, which meant that the Flame Emperor had never suspected Di Chen before. The reason why he had kicked him out of the academy must be because Zhao Fusheng did not know the reason why he was still alive. Since the Flame Emperor did not blame Di Chen for taking him in, it would not be dangerous for him either.


    Di Chen hesitated for a moment before saying: "But I''m not suitable for entering the Academy, and I want to travel and cultivate in the future."


    Zhao Wan''er advised: "Di Chen, you know how dangerous Martial Region Continent is, you are only at the Lifestealer Realm, and have not even broken through to the Martial King realm, how can you travel at your level? If you leave the Millennium City, you probably will die hundreds of times, and after you enter our Famous Sword Academy, it will not be too late for you to travel again after you break through to the Wu Zong."


    The entire Martial Region had countless of powerful warriors, and Lifestealer Realm warriors were nothing, with Di Chen''s cultivation, he could easily kill Di Chen, but Di Chen did not want to waste his time in the academy.


    "Di Chen, promise them," Lin Tao advised. He was even more excited than Di Chen.


    Di Chen looked at Liu Jingjing again, and Liu Jingjing shrugged her shoulders indifferently. She didn''t really care whether Di Chen joined the Famous Sword Academy or not, she would go wherever Di Chen was.


    Seeing Di Chen''s hesitation, Zhao Fusheng continued to speak, "Our Famous Sword Academy''s teaching methods are different from his. We don''t have different classes, nor do we have fixed teachers.


    Di Chen hesitated for a moment before saying: "Alright, but I have a request."


    "Go ahead," Zhao Fusheng laughed, "As long as you join, there''s no problem.


    Di Chen pointed to Lin Tao and Liu Jingjing and said, "Have them join the Famous Sword Academy."


    Zhao Fusheng slightly raised his brows. He could tell that Liu Jingjing''s talent was not bad, and her strength was strong as well, to the point where she had the qualifications to join the Famous Sword Academy, but Lin Tao was only at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and with his age, it meant that his talent was not good. Furthermore, the weakest amongst all of the Famous Sword Academy s was at the fifth stage of Life Seizing Realm.


    "This request of yours is rather shameless."


    Zhao Fusheng laughed: "However, since you''ve already said it like this, I can only agree to it, but I also have a request."


    Di Chen looked at Zhao Fusheng doubtfully.


    Zhao Fusheng laughed, "In a few more years, it will be the day of the Three Great Academies'' competition. You also have to participate."


    Di Chen finally understood Zhao Fusheng''s intentions. He had originally wanted to participate in the Three Great Academies'' Tournament as well, but in reality, he did not want to participate in it anymore. It was not beneficial for cultivators, but after thinking about it for a while, he still nodded his head.


    "That''s great," Zhao Waner said as she walked over with a smile. She took out a letter: "Take this, go to Famous Sword Academy and find a teacher called Dongfang Yue, he will arrange for you to enter the academy. Grandfather and I still have some matters to attend to, we will not return to the academy for the time being."


    Di Chen took the letter, and asked about the location of Famous Sword Academy briefly, then said his goodbyes to Zhao Fusheng.


    Zhao Fusheng watched Di Chen''s back until he disappeared, then said: "Let''s go, we''re still two more people."


    With that, they left the Millennium City. There was no need to stay here any longer, they had already found the person they needed.


    The happiest person in Famous Sword Academy was Lin Tao. He had always wanted to enter, but she never thought that she would have to rely on Di Chen to become a member of the Famous Sword Academy.


    I, Lin Tao, also have the chance to enter the Famous Sword Academy. I heard that there are a lot of sword warriors in the Famous Sword Academy, and it is a heaven for cultivators like us who use the sword, Di Chen, thank you. "


    Ever since Lin Tao followed Di Chen out to cultivate, he had obtained a lot of benefits. Firstly, he obtained the Giant Sword Hegemony, and secondly, he managed to become a famous sword student.


    Di Chen smiled and said, "You heard what Master Zhao said. The Famous Sword Academy is different from the other academies, no one will guide you, and you will have to depend on yourself to cultivate. That place is extremely competitive, and even if you enter, it might not be a good thing."


    Sky Realm Academy was also one of the three great academies. How intense were the academies going to be?


    Lin Tao rolled his eyes and said, "Why did you strike out at me? I''ve been training quite fast recently."


    Di Chen thought that although Lin Tao''s Inherent Skill was average, he was still more hardworking than most people. If it was something that he liked to fight, maybe the Famous Sword Academy was more suitable for him.


    The Famous Sword Academy was located in the Spirit Continent of Youzhou City. The Spirit Continent had been in the city for a long time, and could be considered an ancient capital, but it was also one of the biggest cities in the Martial Region Continent. The warriors in the city were not weaker than the Millennium City.


    Di Chen and the other two did not travel at a fast pace. They cultivated while enjoying the scenery along the way, and after walking for more than two months, they finally arrived at a place close to Youzhou City.


    Liu Jingjing pointed to a large mountain in front of him. This mountain was three thousand meters high, and stretched for several hundred kilometers, and there were countless demonic beast within the mountain. It was called mountain, and the Thousand Monster Mountain and the other surrounding Thousand Monster Mountain were all one of the ten great dangerous mountains of Martial Region Continent.


    Di Chen frowned: "I can feel a powerful demonic Qi in mountain here, I need to be careful, it seems like it''s getting dark, let''s find a place to stay, and then leave tomorrow."


    There is indeed a road that can pass through the entire mountain, and there will be fewer demonic beast in the day, but at night, the presence of demonic beast is extremely dangerous, so almost no one would dare to pass through the mountain at night, unless your strength breaks through the realm of Martial Saint.


    At the foot of the mountain, there was a small village. Di Chen, Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao decided to spend the night in this village.

 C116

    Just as she reached the intersection, she saw a five to six year old little Girl squatting on the ground. The little Girl was dressed in rags, and his face still had injuries.


    Di Chen walked over, crouched down and asked curiously: "Little sister, what''s your name, why are you here?"


    "My name is Xiao Ke," The little Girl asked in a daze. "Big brother, are you warriors?"


    Di Chen thought for a while, "We are, but we are still too weak, what about it?"


    The little Girl said dejectedly, "A few bad people came to the village and killed a lot of people. I have been waiting for powerful people to help us kill them."


    Di Chen and Liu Jingjing looked at each other, thinking that the village was near the mountain, which was also a place where warriors trained the most. Presumably, the person who killed them must be very strong, Di Chen thought that he wouldn''t be able to help much.


    Liu Jingjing suggested: "Di Chen, I think we should find another place to stay. There might be danger there."


    Lin Tao shook his head and said, "How can we do that? It''s already dark, and we can''t find a place to stay. Besides, it''s not that big of a deal for us to check on it."


    Liu Jingjing knew that it was too much for her to watch him die without saving him, and it was also not good to refute Lin Tao.


    Di Chen thought for a while, "It''s alright if we go in to take a look, since we won''t be able to find another place to stay anyway."


    Then he looked at Xiao Ke and said, "It''s already late, you can''t wait to get to the Martial Disciple realm now. It''s too dangerous outside. Let''s go back."


    It seemed that Xiao Ke didn''t want to leave, but she had been waiting here for many days. She knew that she wouldn''t be able to wait for anyone else, so she nodded after thinking for a while.


    "Let''s go," Only then did Di Chen lead Xiao Ke and walk towards the village. The village was not big, there were about a hundred families, with their doors closed, they immediately extinguished the kerosene lamp after hearing the sound outside, probably because they were afraid of the dangers outside. Di Chen was slightly speechless, thinking to himself how many people had those fellows killed, and how many villagers were actually so afraid.


    "Xiao Ke," not long after they left, they heard an old man call out to them. Xiao Ke immediately replied. The old man ran over and said angrily, "Xiao Ke, why didn''t you listen to grandpa and ran out again."


    Xiao Ke lowered her head and said, "I''ll go find someone to beat up those rascals."


    The old man let out a long sigh, sadness in his eyes. He didn''t know what to say for a moment, and then looked at Di Chen and asked: "You three are?"


    Di Chen explained: "Old man, we are passersby who want to go to the Spirit Continent. Passing by, we would like to spend the night here and leave early tomorrow morning."


    "So it''s just a passerby," the old man thought that Di Chen and the other two were warriors that could be found by Xiao Ke. After hearing that it was only a passerby, he revealed a helpless expression, thought for a while and said: "Come with me, there are still some empty rooms in my house."


    The old man lived in an ordinary mud house, but the house was relatively large. Di Chen followed the old man into the house and the old man lit up the oil refining lamp. The room was lit up by the light of his helmet, and then, he brought some food over.


    Di Chen and the old man only knew that the old man''s name was Yu Zhengsheng, and that he was the village chief''s son and daughter, who had a pair of children, but their children had all been killed, and now that they were left alone, the old man and his son had to rely on each other for survival. During this period of time, those people would come often, and say that the village had to hand over some treasures, or else they would kill a few people every so


    Di Chen asked curiously: "This village seems normal, what treasure are they looking for?"


    Yu Zhengsheng said, "Speak of the inkstone. Our village doesn''t even have a single scholar, so we don''t know what they are looking for. They thought we didn''t take it out on purpose, so they killed people in the village to force us to hand it over."


    When Di Chen came to this place earlier, he did not feel any spirit energy, so how could there be a magic tool here?


    "They are all villains. I will definitely find someone to kill them."


    Yu Zheng let out a long sigh. Xiao Ke could only watch as her father was killed, but she had no choice. It was normal for her to be angry.


    Di Chen asked: "Since that''s the case, why didn''t you leave the village?"


    Yu Zheng laughed bitterly: "Our ancestors lived in this village, and we are all just useless villagers. There are powerful warriors everywhere in Martial Region Continent, where can we go?"


    That was true, the Martial Region Continent respected martial arts, and these ordinary villagers who had not learnt any martial arts were also finding it hard to move, no matter where they went.


    Dong, dong, dong!


    Just then, a hurried knock came from outside. When Yu Zhengsheng opened the door, he saw many villagers standing outside.


    "Old Village Chief, have you found someone to help us yet?"


    "The three of them are all warriors, that''s great, our village will be saved this time."


    They spoke excitedly one after another, completely treating Di Chen as their only hope of survival.


    Yu Zhengsheng forced a smile and said, "They are just passersby who will leave tomorrow."


    "What are passersby doing in our village? Why are they causing so much trouble at this time?"


    "That''s right, I thought they were martial artists who had come to help us."


    Hearing Yu Zhengsheng''s words, everyone was disappointed. Some of them even started cursing, but it was also because too many people had died recently.


    Fortunately, he was held back by Di Chen. Di Chen shook his head slightly, thinking that this humble one would go out every day to find warriors for help, it was very dangerous for her to be alone, but these people were hiding in their homes. Now that he didn''t come to help them, he scolded loudly, thinking that even if he had the ability, he wouldn''t help these people.


    After the villagers left, Yu Zhengzhi said apologetically, "A lot of people died in the village recently. They were too anxious, so don''t worry about it."


    Di Chen laughed: "I''m fine."


    Yu Zhengsheng thought about it and still asked, "Are you really not martial artists?"


    He was still unwilling to give up!


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "I am a warrior, but we have just cultivated for a short while, so my strength is very weak."


    Hearing this, Yu Zhengzhi was thoroughly disappointed. After a long period of silence, he looked at the three and said, "Have a good rest tonight and leave early tomorrow. I wonder when those people will come again."


    Yu Zhengzhi prepared a clean blanket for Di Chen. The three of them washed up before entering the room, leaving behind only one empty room. Di Chen, Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao could only squeeze into one room.


    Lin Tao was tossing and turning so much that he could not fall asleep, and said: "Di Chen, how about we help them tomorrow as well?"


    Di Chen thought for a while, then said: "This village is near the mountain, the warriors who would come here are definitely very strong, maybe they are Martial Kings, do we have the strength to meddle?"


    Lin Tao sighed and said, "That''s true, let''s leave as soon as possible."


    In fact, Di Chen could not bear to see the villagers being killed, it was just that Di Chen''s cultivation was nothing in Martial Region Continent, and could not help them.


    Time flew by, the entire night passed without a word, and on the second day, Di Chen woke up from his sleep with the fish turning white in the sky, but before he could leave, he heard shouts from outside.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen noticed the elemental energy fluctuation outside and frowned slightly. He did not expect that it would be such a coincidence that these guys would come again, and so early as well.


    Di Chen immediately woke Lin Tao up and reminded him, "Someone is coming over from outside. They should be the people that Old Man Yu mentioned, let''s go take a look."


    "So fast," Lin Tao nodded his head, Liu Jingjing had long woken up, the three of them walked out of the room and saw many villagers, and in front of the villagers stood two men and a woman, and these three people looked to be about the same age as Di Chen, their cultivation seemed to be in Lifestealer Realm, Di Chen thought that those bandits must have killed these villagers, but from the looks of it, they were just normal students, and their strength was not too strong either.


    Liu Jingjing laughed, and said: "I had thought that he was some strong individual, but it turns out that he also has Lifestealer Realm.


    Di Chen pondered for a while, and said: "These people with Lifestealer Realm are actually so arrogant, killing the innocent carelessly. It seems that they must have someone backing them, and they cannot be careless."


    However, these Lifestealer Realm s dared to come here and kill people. This showed that their identity was not simple, and if they were not disciples of large clans, then they were people from large academies. Therefore, Di Chen did not go forward for a moment.


    "Three days are up. Where are the things that I want?"


    The man at the front shouted in a domineering manner. He held a large sword and had a hair on his head. There was a knife scar on his face and his aura was at least at the fifth stage of Life Seizing.


    The villagers all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.


    At this moment, Yu Zhengsheng came out and pleaded, "You''ve seen how old our village is. We really don''t have any treasures here for you. Please let us go."


    The man grabbed Yu Zhengsheng''s collar and said angrily, "You''re still lying! My Thousand Star Plate can feel the spiritual energy here. There must be some treasure in this village. It seems you still think we didn''t kill enough people."


    The Thousand Star Plate was a type of treasure that was used to search for spirit weapon. If there was any spirit weapon nearby, it would have fluctuated, but the Thousand Star Plate was a bit lower leveled, and one could only faintly sense that there was a treasure here, unable to sense its specific location.


    "Fang Hao, it''s no use talking to them. Just kill a few more people and they''ll be able to explain."


    She took out a small white jade Spirit Sword and said: "If you don''t want to kill me, then come and kill me."


    "Xiang Ling," the last man stopped him, "Let me do it."

    Xiang Ling knew that Li Yuan''s methods were ruthless, even warriors would not be able to admit it, and laughed: "Alright, Li Yuan, come."


    Li Yuan flipped his hand, and a purple centipede appeared in the center of his palm, smiling as he said: "This is a Purple Blood Centipede, this kind of centipede is extremely poisonous, it would be extremely painful to be bitten by it, but it won''t die, even us Lifestealer Realm warriors cannot endure it, I don''t know if any of you can endure it."


    He looked around and everyone subconsciously backed away. Finally, he looked at Xiaoke and smiled. "You are?"


    Yu Zhengsheng''s expression changed as he hurriedly pulled Xiao Ke behind him, saying in fear, "She''s still young, don''t torture her. If you want to torture her, just torture me."


    Li Yuan snorted: "You''re already a pile of old bones, you''re about to die at any time, what''s the use of torturing you."


    He walked in front of Xiao Ke and was about to grab Xiao Ke, but Yu Zhengsheng quickly grabbed Li Yuan, who sent him flying with a slap. Yu Zhengsheng was old and could not even stand up after he was sent flying.


    "Grandpa," Xiao Ke cried as she tried to support Yu Zheng.


    Li Yuan dragged Xiao Ke over and said: "You can''t blame me for this, if you have to blame, blame your grandfather for not knowing how to appreciate the kindness."


    Then, he brought the Purple Blood Centipede in front of Xiao Ma. Xiao Ke was terrified, but he was unable to struggle free. The other villagers gritted their teeth as they looked at Li Yuan, but they did not dare stop him.


    "I say, isn''t it too much for you to bully a child like this?"


    Lin Tao suddenly shouted.


    Li Yuan stopped and frowned, his gaze landed on Di Chen, he could tell the cultivation of the three of them at a glance, and laughed: "A Life Seizing First Layer warrior, an ordinary person who does not have any spirit energy, only this woman''s strength is not bad, you guys are not people from this village, why are you all trying to meddle in this?"


    Di Chen and the other two walked over from the crowd and said: "You guys are still considered warriors, looking at your clothes, I assume that your status is not low. You actually dare to threaten these ordinary villagers?"


    Although the Martial Region Continent respected the martial arts, there was an unwritten rule here. Warriors did not casually attack ordinary people, and if these people harmed ordinary people, they would violate the rules of the Martial Region Continent.


    Li Yuan, Fang Hao and the others looked at each other, then laughed out loud. "This is the first time I''ve met people like you, who are ridiculous.


    Di Chen shook his head slightly upon hearing this, he was too lazy to bother with these kinds of people.


    Li Yuan subconsciously looked at Liu Jingjing, and squinted his eyes: "I can see that you guys also have some power, I don''t want to fight with you today, scram, otherwise don''t blame me for being rude."


    How could Di Chen not understand Li Yuan''s thoughts? After all, Liu Jingjing was also at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, so even if they could defeat Liu Jingjing, they would still be at a disadvantage.


    Di Chen did not even bother to look at Li Yuan, he looked at the villagers and said: "This is none of your business, you guys can go back now."


    "Who dares to leave?" Li Yuan said softly: "Whoever dares to move a step, I will kill him."


    During this period of time, Li Yuan and the rest had killed many villagers, and the villagers were extremely afraid of Li Yuan, so no one dared to leave.


    Li Yuan then laughed coldly, looked at Di Chen, pointed at the villagers and said: "Look, these people are just so useless, what use do you think such people have in the world?"


    Everyone clenched their teeth, but no one dared to refute Li Yuan''s words. It was true that ordinary people did not have the qualifications to speak in front of warriors.


    Li Yuan did not bother to look at the other villagers, and continued to speak as he looked at Di Chen: "I see that you do not have any spirit energy, so you are probably normal people, you should understand yourself, a talent, but since you want to meddle in other people''s business, then I will grant you that wish."


    He pushed Xiao Ke away, then brought the Purple Blood Centipede in front of Di Chen and smiled: "You can take her place."


    "Big brother Di Chen wants it," Xiao Ke looked on fearfully. She wanted to go and save Di Chen, but she was pulled by a villager.


    Di Chen laughed but did not say a word. Just as Li Yuan''s hand was in front of him, his body suddenly stopped, as though he was grabbed by a big hand. He could not move at all, even the Purple Blood Centipede seemed to have been frozen in place.


    "What''s going on?" Li Yuan''s face was filled with surprise. He tried to struggle, but was ultimately unable to move. His face was filled with shock: "What exactly did you do to me?"


    Di Chen held the Purple Blood Centipede and looked at it. The Purple Blood Centipede was played around with by Di Chen like a prop, and did not move at all, and Di Chen immediately kept it, and said: "This Purple Blood Centipede can be used to refine medicine, maybe it will be useful in the future, thank you very much for sending it over."


    "You ¡­" Li Yuan had spent a lot of effort to obtain the Purple Blood Centipede, so how could it be snatched away like that? He knew that these fellows were definitely not simple, and immediately shouted at Fang Hao and Xiang Ling: "Quickly, kill the three of them."


    Fang Hao was the first to rush towards Di Chen, holding his big sword and slashing at him, the heavy wind he produced felt as though there was a small mountain pressing down on him.


    "Let me handle this guy," Lin Tao said as he faced Fang Hao with Tyrant''s Sky.


    The two greatswords clashed, sparks flying everywhere. Fang Hao took two or three steps back, while Lin Tao took a dozen steps back. Even though his arms were in trouble, there was no major problem.


    "Hmm?" Fang Hao was slightly surprised. He was at the fifth level of Life Seizing. He could tell that Lin Tao was only at the first level of Life Seizing.


    "You do have some strength. I''d like to see if you can block my sword." Fang Hao''s elemental energy gushed out as he took a step forward. The ground rumbled and a huge crater was formed by him as he ruthlessly smashed towards Lin Tao.


    The power of this sword attack was very strong, so Lin Tao did not dare to be careless. His spirit energy also overflowed as he fought Fang Hao head on. Lin Tao was clearly at a disadvantage, but Fang Hao would not be able to defeat Lin Tao in a short period of time.


    "This guy is this strong?" At first, Di Chen was a little worried about Lin Tao, but he never thought that Lin Tao would actually be able to fight to this extent with a cultivator at the fifth stage of Life Seizing.


    Seeing that Fang Hao was unable to kill Lin Tao in such a short time, Xiang Ling''s face darkened, and scolded: "Truly useless."


    She then used a white jade flying sword to stab Di Chen. Her sword wind was sharp and fierce, completely different from Fang Hao''s.


    Liu Jingjing blocked in front of Di Chen with a step, smashed her fist out, and sent a huge fist silhouette to clash with Xiang Ling.


    Xiang Ling''s white jade flying sword pierced the fist shadow, with a pfft sound, the fist shadow immediately dissipated, but Xiang Ling was also forced to retreat a few steps, the blood and energy in her body churned, she could not help but have the urge to vomit blood.


    "Is it really that powerful?" Xiang Ling was a little shocked, she once again rushed at Liu Jingjing. The two of them exchanged a few blows, but Xiang Ling was no match for the unarmed Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Even though you are also at the ninth stage, I have met many people who are stronger than you who are at the seventh stage, for example, do you still have the nerve to be proud of such a small amount of strength?"


    There were indeed many seventh stage practitioners in the Sky Realm Academy that were comparable to Xiang Ling, but it wasn''t because Xiang Ling wasn''t a match for her, nor was it because her strength was too weak. Rather, it was because Liu Jingjing was a very talented cultivator.


    Xiang Ling tapped the center of her brows, and a bolt of lightning as fast as a silver snake suddenly struck towards Liu Jingjing. The area where the lightning had passed was charred black, and some of the villagers had turned to ashes due to the close proximity of the lightning.


    Xiang Ling snorted: "Lightning is one of the most powerful nature attributed martial soul, I want to see how you can withstand my martial soul."


    "Lightning martial soul?" Liu Jingjing was slightly stunned. She was a Lightning martial soul before as well, but after defending against the Martial King one attack from the martial soul and being destroyed, she did not expect to meet an identical martial soul today.


    Liu Jingjing did not retreat, but took a step back towards Lightning, and when the Lightning Blade struck Liu Jingjing''s body, it instantly ripped open her skin and flesh, causing Liu Jingjing to scream in pain. The scream made her feel pain, but she did not retreat, and actually wanted to use her body to fend off the martial soul.


    Xiang Ling was stunned at first, then said with a face full of mockery: "You actually want to use your body to clash head on with my Lightning martial soul, I have never met such a stupid one, let''s see how long you can last."


    "Jingjing ¡­" Di Chen''s face was full of shock. He didn''t understand why Liu Jingjing would do this, but it was too dangerous.


    Liu Jing gritted her teeth and said: "Di Chen, I''m fine. You don''t have to worry about me."


    Di Chen thought that Liu Jingjing definitely had her reasons for doing this and did not plan to help her.


    After a while, the lightning on Liu Jingjing''s body became smaller and smaller, and fused into the center of Liu Jingjing''s brows.


    "She''s absorbing my martial soul?" Xiang Ling''s expression changed. She knew that some warriors could forcefully take away another person''s martial soul, but to take away another''s martial soul, there had to be a huge difference in strength. She was also at the ninth stage of Life Stealing, but she was actually able to forcefully take away her own martial soul?


    Lightning was always a dangerous thing. A single mistake could cause a person''s soul to fly out of their body. How could one forcefully absorb lightning?


    Xiang Ling, who had sensed that something was wrong, wanted to retract her martial soul, but she realized that her martial soul seemed to have been imprisoned and was unable to retract it.


    "My martial soul," Xiang Ling shouted in shock. martial soul was the second life form of a warrior, after being robbed, half of its power would be wasted. Xiang Ling could not accept this, and suddenly rushed towards Liu Jingjing.


    "It''s my turn," Liu Jingjing pointed between her brows, the silver lightning shooting out from between her eyebrows and striking onto Xiang Ling''s body. With a pfft sound, Xiang Ling was instantly turned into ashes.


    "Xiang Ling," Li Yuan was horrified, he had come here to kill someone, but he had never imagined that Xiang Ling would actually die in such a miserable manner.


    Fang Hao stared at Liu Jingjing in disbelief. It was fine that she stole someone else''s martial soul, but she was actually stronger than Liu Jingjing when she used this martial soul?


    Not to mention Fang Hao, even if it was Di Chen, he would still be surprised. He thought to himself that he had underestimated Liu Jingjing.

 C118

    Li Yuan looked at Di Chen and said fiercely: "Remember this, I definitely won''t let you get away with this."


    Di Chen smiled and said, "Whether you can leave here alive is a problem, why aren''t you letting me go?"


    Li Yuan did not say more, his body suddenly trembled, his face revealed pain, he then spat out a mouthful of blood, his body suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment he appeared a few hundred metres away, not daring to stay, he turned and ran.


    "What kind of cultivation technique is this?" Di Chen was shocked, he knew that the demonic beast knew this strange technique, but he had never seen a warrior use it, a person who knew this technique must not be a simple person.


    Fang Hao saw that Li Yuan''s face changed, he could not care about Lin Tao anymore and quickly sheathed his sword and ran, but before he could even run a few steps, his body was frozen, unable to move.


    Lin Tao immediately rushed in front of Fang Hao, looked at him playfully, and said, "Keep running."


    Fang Hao''s face was full of fear as he said, "You can''t kill me, I''m called ¡­"


    Puff!


    "Die!" Lin Tao didn''t wait for him to finish speaking. He cut Fang Hao into two halves, the upper half of his body and the lower half of his body falling onto the ground one after the other. Fang Hao looked at Lin Tao in disbelief.


    The entire battle only lasted a few minutes, before Li Yuan and the other two people died, they escaped and fled, ending in a miserable state.


    The villagers originally thought that today would be a disaster for the village, but they did not expect that they would actually escape this calamity. One by one, they cheered excitedly.


    After absorbing the lightning martial soul, Liu Jingjing was a little weak. She hurriedly supported her and asked: "Are you alright?"


    Liu Jingjing shook her head: "I''m fine, but I forcefully snatched the martial soul over, and my body is still weak. I need to find a place to rest for a period of time."


    Di Chen hesitated: "I''m afraid we cannot stay in this place."


    Di Chen knew that Li Yuan''s identity was not simple, he would definitely bring more people here, with Liu Jingjing''s current condition, he would probably not be able to stay in this village anymore, not only Di Chen, the other villagers would also have to leave.


    "Big brother Di Chen, you''re really strong," Xiao Ke ran to Di Chen''s front and shouted excitedly. His parents were killed by Li Yuan, she had always wanted to take revenge, but she did not have the strength to do so.


    Di Chen laughed: "It''s not that I''m strong, it''s just that those people are too weak.


    At first, Di Chen thought that those who came to this village would at least have Martial King Realm, but in the end, they were just some strong practitioners who wanted to seize their fate soul. There were not many in the Lifestealer Realm that were able to deal with Di Chen.


    Yu Zhengsheng staggered over and said gratefully, "Di Chen, it''s all thanks to you this time, if not for you, I''m afraid our village would have lost many people."


    Di Chen said with a serious face: "Old mister Yu, don''t thank me. Just now, there was still one who ran away, and he won''t let you go, I think he will definitely come back, and I can''t stay here forever either. I think it''s better for all of you to live somewhere else, or else the consequences will be unimaginable."


    Di Chen still had to go to Youzhou City later, if those people came to trouble the villagers again, Di Chen would not be able to save them.


    Yu Zhengsheng sighed, "I know that too, but there are still a lot of people in our village. Where can we go? Besides, we don''t have the money."


    If they were to move into another place, the money would naturally be sufficient. These villagers lived off of hunting and farming for a living, so it was indeed difficult to leave this place.


    Di Chen could not bear to see these people suffer, he thought for a while before taking out a money pouch and saying: "There are twenty thousand taels of silver in here, give two hundred taels to each family, these are enough for you to start a new life here."


    "So many?" How could Yu Zhengzhi have seen so much money? He immediately pushed the purse back and said, "This is too much, I can''t accept it."


    Di Chen said: "There may be a lot of these for you, but it''s nothing for us warriors. Elder Yu, just accept it."


    In fact, it wasn''t too hard to earn twenty thousand from Lifestealer Realm, he just needed to kill a few more demonic beast. However, it was a difficult task for the ordinary villagers, ordinary demonic beast would be a fatal threat to them, what more demonic beast?


    Although Yu Zhengsheng found it hard to accept, he knew that Di Chen was speaking the truth. He then looked at the villagers and stared at Yu Zhengsheng, and although he did not say it out, he could tell from their expressions that they wanted the money, so he kept it in the end.


    "Di Chen, look at this," Lin Tao suddenly shouted excitedly at Di Chen.


    Di Chen walked over, he saw Lin Tao holding a strange coiled Luo, the compass was completely black and about the size of a palm, the center of the pointer was spinning intensely.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen looked at it curiously. "This is the Thousand Star Plate they were talking about just now. I''ve heard of it before, it can find things with intelligence.


    Lin Tao licked his lips and exclaimed: "Di Chen, are we really going to look for his?"


    Di Chen thought that it was still early, and asked Yu Zheng: "Elder Yu, is there anything strange here?"


    "I''ve lived here for many years, but I haven''t seen anything strange. Di Chen, could it be that there are magic treasures here?"


    Di Chen thought for a while: "Actually warriors normally wouldn''t kill normal people, but these guys actually disregarded the rules of Martial Region Continent and tried to kill you guys. This means that there must be something they want here.


    Di Chen had just saved everyone and given them twenty thousand taels of silver, so Yu Zhengsheng naturally did not object. He immediately ordered the villagers to look for him.


    Moreover, they did not know what magical equipment looked like, nor did they know what it looked like. After searching for a few hours, they still could not find anything suspicious, but the villagers did not plan to stay in this place, so the villagers turned the entire place upside down, finally finding a piece of spiritual object. This was not some kind of inkstone, but rather a palm-sized piece of inkstone.


    This stone had an extremely dense amount of spirit, and could be used to make ink. The ink that Di Chen had previously written was all ordinary ink, but the spirit in this stone was extremely dense, and the formula that had been written must be very powerful.


    "I didn''t expect to find such a thing," Di Chen said happily. This kind of thing might not be useful for others, but it''s a priceless treasure for Di Chen.


    Other people had weapons, but Di Chen did not have any, he only used words as strength, ordinary weapons were useless against him, but now with the Heaven Evolution Brush and the ink stone, Di Chen''s strength would increase by multiple folds.


    "Ink ingots are made by hand. They are not formed by nature. I wonder how this inscriptions were made and why they were buried here."


    Di Chen looked at the ink stone curiously, he was more familiar with it, it was made using good smoke, Di Chen had made some before, but they were all ordinary, Di Chen thought that in the future when he fought with others, he could use this kind of ink, but the quantity of the ink stone was not much, it should be consumed very quickly.


    Liu Jingjing sighed: "These inkstones are useless to those people, but they did not hesitate to kill people for these inkstones, these people are truly hateful, I don''t know where they came from."


    Di Chen analyzed: "His strength is not that strong, so he shouldn''t have come here from anywhere else. This place is not far from Youzhou City, I think that person should be from Youzhou City."


    Di Chen did not know who that person was at the moment, but Di Chen could vaguely feel that they were in big trouble, that guy would definitely not let things rest.


    Lin Tao waved his hand and said boldly: "Who cares, we have already offended the Prime Minister and General Ai''s son. We are afraid that he will fail. Since we have found the inkstone, let us quickly leave."


    Di Chen looked at the sky and spent a lot of time searching for the ink stone. He did not want to stay any longer, so he looked at Yu Zheng: "Elder Yu, quickly bring the villagers away from here, if you are any later, it will be too late."


    In order to find the inkstone, this village had already been excavated into ruins, so the villagers had no choice but to leave the village.


    Yu Zheng He bowed to Di Chen!


    "Big brother Di Chen, I''m going," Although Xiao Ke hadn''t known Di Chen for long, she really liked Di Chen and was reluctant to leave him.


    Di Chen squatted down, rubbed his head and said: "In the future, you have to study well, and take good care of Grandfather."


    Xiao Ke nodded heavily and said. "I still need to cultivate properly, like Big Brother Di Chen."


    Yu Zheng then led the villagers to pack up their belongings and left the village. Soon, the village became lifeless and lifeless.


    Seeing that the villagers had left, Lin Tao said: "Di Chen, let''s go as well."


    Di Chen smiled and said: "I guess they will definitely come back to this place. I''m prepared to leave them a gift."


    Lin Tao and Liu Jingjing looked suspiciously at Di Chen, who smiled mysteriously and then wrote a lot of words for "broken" at various angles of the village. These words contained the power of scholars, so Di Chen did some simple things and would activate every time someone enters the vicinity of the formula.


    Liu Jingjing laughed out loud: "You sure are good at playing tricks, but why don''t you use your Spear Arts, this Spear Arts should have a greater killing power."


    Di Chen laughed: "I just wanted to teach them a lesson, and never thought of killing them. The Spear Arts consumes too much spirit energy, so I just need to use it to defeat the formula."


    With Di Chen''s current cultivation, he could at most write a dozen or so spear words, but he could at least write hundreds of broken words. This broken word could definitely teach them a lesson, and it would not even harm their lives, or teach them a lesson, but Di Chen did not want to go overboard.


    After doing all this, Di Chen brought Lin Tao and Liu Jingjing out of the village, but Liu Jingjing''s body was still weak, and she had to find a place to help Liu Jingjing recover her strength.

 C119

    Just as Di Chen had thought, on the second day, Li Yuan brought a man and a woman back to the village. The man wore a black robe, his long hair combed back his head, his gaze sharp, his gaze cold. Carrying a slender sword on his back, the woman seemed to be a gentle person.


    "They actually ran," Li Yuan said as he looked at the empty village: "Senior sister Xiang Xue, Senior brother Hong Zhao, Xiang Ling was killed here, but from the looks of it, they probably knew we would return, so they ran."


    Hong Zhao closed his eyes and opened them after a while. "They have left for too long. I can''t sense their auras."


    Xiang Xue squinted and said, "Those people are also at the ninth level of Life Seizing. If I''m not wrong, they must be going to Youzhou City. Since I''m in Youzhou City, I have the chance to find them and kill my sister.


    Hong Zhao looked at Li Yuan again and said: "You said before that this village has a very rich spirituality, and there must be a treasure here. Did you find it?"


    Li Yuan shook his head: "No, but this village has already been excavated into ruins, I think even if there were, they would have already been taken away by those three, damn it..."


    In order to find the treasure, Li Yuan did not hesitate to kill ordinary people.


    Hong Zhao thought about it for a while and still walked into the village. He thought that although this place was dug up till now, the treasure might not have been found. Li Yuan and Xiang Xue also went in.


    However, the moment he entered the village, Hong Zhao''s footsteps suddenly stopped, and a strange power burst out from his surroundings.


    "Not good, let''s go," Hong Zhao''s expression changed, and she shouted loudly. She immediately rushed out of the village, and Li Yuan and Xiang Xue also noticed the danger and rushed out of the village.


    BOOM!


    A moment later, they finally escaped from the range of the explosion. Li Yuan''s strength was relatively weak, after being flipped over by the explosion several times, he had already lost an arm, and was covered in blood from the explosion. Hong Zhao and Xiang Xue''s condition was slightly better, although they were injured, they did not seem to be in danger of losing their lives, and only looked to be in a sorry state.


    Hong Zhao said with some lingering fear, "This guy is so powerful that even Xiang Xue and I almost died inside."


    He knew that it was Di Chen''s doing. did not really do anything earlier, he did not know Di Chen''s actual strength, and only now did he know that this fellow was actually so terrifying. The formation that he had set up could even injure Hong Zhao and Xiang Xue severely.


    Xiang Xue had a puzzled expression. "What kind of spell is this? Although its power isn''t weak, it doesn''t have a trace of elemental energy. This fellow is a little strange."


    A normal array formation required the control of spirit energy, but this array formation didn''t have any spirit energy fluctuations. Thus, Xiang Xue hadn''t discovered this just now. She was somewhat puzzled. Was there still a cultivation method that didn''t require spirit energy?


    However, this also meant that the people Li Yuan met were very terrifying!


    "Let''s go," Xiang Xue said coldly. "It looks like there''s no way for those three fellows to catch up to us, but those villagers won''t be far away. It''s easy to find so many people."


    When Hong Zhao heard the implied meaning behind Xiang Xue''s words, she was surprised. "Xiang Xue, you aren''t thinking of killing these ordinary people, are you?"


    Xiang Xue replied, "Why can''t I? Xiang Ling died because of them, even if I killed all of them, they wouldn''t be able to dispel the hatred in my heart. If you don''t want to go, then forget it."


    He then chased in the direction of the villagers, Hong Zhao frowned, after thinking for a moment, he still followed. Li Yuan did not care, he just wanted to kill all of them.


    A hundred kilometers away from Youzhou City, there was a quiet little town. Not far from the town, a group of villagers were walking towards this direction. It was Yu Zhengzhi and company.


    "We''ve already been gone for an entire day. I don''t think those people will be able to find us."


    Yu Zhengsheng said excitedly, "With the money Di Chen gave us, we can live in peace in this little town."


    With Di Chen''s money, they would not have to worry about their lives for a while. However at this time, three people landed in front of everyone, and upon seeing these three people, all of their faces changed.


    "It''s you," Yu Zheng''s gaze landed on Li Yuan, his face filled with shock.


    Li Yuan said fiercely: "You didn''t expect us to still be able to find this place right? Those three fellows from yesterday saved all of you, let''s see if they can still save all of you today."


    Xiang Xue didn''t even have the intention to speak to them. She took a big stride forward and stabbed a villager''s body with a sword. Then, she beheaded him on the spot.


    "Ke''er, run!" Yu Zheng shouted loudly. The other villagers, upon seeing this, all ran away in fear. However, how could these people escape from the sword of a martial artist?


    Li Yuan hated Yu Zhengsheng to the core, if not for him, he would not have appeared. He strode forward, and his long sword pierced into Yu Zhengsheng''s body, causing him to fall into a pool of blood.


    "Grandfather!" Ke''er cried out. She shook Yu Zhengsheng''s body, but he never woke up.


    Some of them died miserably, and they were even killed by a lot of blood. It had to be said that Xiang Xue''s methods were quite vicious, and very quickly, the villagers were killed by Xiang Xue and Li Yuan, leaving behind only a little Girl. She was Ke Er.


    Ke Er saw that the ground was filled with corpses, and blood was flowing like a river. She was still a child, so when had she ever seen such a scene before? But she didn''t know what to do, so she could only cry.


    Li Yuan looked at Ke Er. Yesterday, Di Chen had appeared in order to save him, so he grabbed Ke Er and was about to stab the sword into Ke Er''s body.


    "Wait a minute," Hong Zhao immediately stopped them. She looked at the corpses on the ground and shook her head, "Do we have to kill them all?"


    "Xiang Ling died because of them," Xiang Xue said coldly. "Even if I were to kill them all, it would be hard to quell the hatred in my heart."


    "But the ones who killed Xiang Ling were not these villagers, and Xiang Ling was the one at fault in this matter. If the elders of the academy were to find out, the consequences would be unimaginable, I''m afraid they would kick us out of the academy."


    Famous Sword Academy was a righteous faction, and killing so many ordinary people like Xiang Ling and Li Yuan had already violated the rules of the academy. If the academy were to find out, all three of them would be removed from the academy''s list.


    "I don''t care about the cause and effect. I only know that Xiang Ling died because of them, and this matter has nothing to do with you. If you''re afraid, you can leave."


    Hong Zhao knew Xiang Xue''s character and didn''t like others to refute her. He had always liked Xiang Xue, so it wasn''t good for him to argue with her.


    Li Yuan laughed and said: "Senior Brother Hong Zhao, all of these people have died, there is no proof of their deaths, and the academy will not know that we did it."


    As she spoke, she wanted to kill Ke Er.


    "Wait a minute," Hongwei said. "She''s still young, is there a need to kill her too?"


    It was fine if he killed those adults, but Ke Er was only five or six years old. Killing a child was something even Hong Zhao couldn''t bear.


    Li Yuan disapprovingly said: "Cutting weeds does not remove the roots, but spring winds spring again. Although I do not think that this child will be any danger to us in the future, I still feel that I cannot let him go like this."


    "No." This time, Hong Zhao wouldn''t agree. How could a martial artist kill a child?


    Li Yuan did not dare disobey Hong Zhao, and looked at Xiang Xue again.


    Xiang Xue shot a glance at Ke Er before calmly saying, "Forget it, a child won''t be able to live long in Martial Region Continent. Let him fend for himself. Let''s go."


    After saying that, he turned around and left. Only then did Li Yuan let go of Ke Er.


    Hong Zhao looked at Ke Er and lightly shook her head. He could only do this much before following Xiang Xue.


    Ke Er wiped away her tears as she stared at the backs of Xiang Xue and the other two. Her eyes were filled with intense hatred, and she only left after the three of them disappeared.


    At the intersection of mountain.


    After Liu Jingjing recovered, the three of them prepared to go to Youzhou City. This road was the road to Youzhou City, it was five meters wide, and on both sides of the road were lush forests, from within the trees came waves of demonic Qi, and nearby hid many powerful demonic beast.


    There was a formation at the side of the road, which could suppress the demonic qi of demonic beast and weaken their strength. Thus, under normal circumstances, demonic beast would not go near this road, but at night, this road was very dangerous, and no one dared to pass through it.


    Di Chen looked at the sky and said: "It will take us at least two hours to cross this road, so there shouldn''t be any danger right now.


    Lin Tao noticed the fluctuations of Demonic Qi on both sides of the road and said worriedly: "However, people who enter or leave this path usually have Martial King Realm accompanying them. I heard that a lot of people who enter the realm will be attacked by demonic beast in the day, so we have to be careful."


    It was still early, so Di Chen saw a lot of passersby, these were at least at the eighth stage of Life Seizing Realm, many of them were martial kings, Di Chen did not have any Origin Energy in his body, Lin Tao was only at the first stage of Life Stealing, and only Liu Jingjing was a little strong, this kind of team was very dangerous, so everyone looked at Di Chen and the others strangely on the way, thinking, how dare they come to You City with this kind of strength?


    Not long after Di Chen and the rest left, a man and a woman suddenly rushed out from the forest beside them. The man had lost an arm, and fresh blood was still flowing out, and the woman was also in a sorry state, her injuries were not light. Behind the two of them, a ninth stage Life Seizing Demonic Wolf rushed out, opening its mouth and biting towards the two.


    "Save me," the man shouted at Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately rushed out, his fist striking towards the Demonic Wolf, wanting to fight it head on.


    "This is a coyote, this kind of Demonic Wolf is very strong, I can''t fight with force," the man saw that Di Chen actually wanted to fight with him, and was shocked, he had never seen a warrior fight with Yin Feng, it was too dangerous.

 C120

    Bang!


    Di Chen''s fist directly smashed into the coyote, sending it flying. It slid on the ground for a few meters and cried out in fear before turning around and running.


    The coyote''s speed was very fast, but its power was very weak. Di Chen had broken through the stage by absorbing the demonic beast''s blood beast, his power was much stronger than normal demonic beast, so it was normal for the coyote to be unable to defeat him.


    "Such a great power?" The man could tell that Di Chen did not use a cultivation technique, but a brute strength.


    Di Chen walked in front of the two and asked: "Are you two alright?"


    The man took out a pellet and swallowed it. His arm actually grew out at a speed where the naked eye could see, this was a Great Recovery Pill, the price was very expensive, Di Chen had also consumed it before so the man''s face became slightly more healthy after his injuries recovered.


    "It''s fine," the man said, panting heavily. "Thank you for saving us."


    Di Chen laughed: "You''re courteous, right, why were you chased by the coyote? It seems like you guys have angered it, if not it would not have chased you here."


    Under normal circumstances, demonic beast would not come here, because there were many people here, it was too dangerous. But now, the coyote had chased them here without any hesitation to devour the two of them, so the two of them probably did something to enrage the Demonic Wolf.


    "Earlier, we found an Earth Spirit Fruit. We originally wanted to pick it, but we didn''t expect that we would encounter a group of coyote. You also knew that this Earth Spirit Fruit was the coyote''s favorite fruit, thus we stirred them up."


    The man explained what happened.


    Di Chen suddenly realized that the Earth Spirit Fruit was a wind-type spiritual being, balanced with the Spirit Qi of the coyote, it was a cultivation object of the coyote, and it was no wonder that the coyote had chased it here.


    "Right," the man asked curiously, "Are you going to Youzhou City?"


    Di Chen did not hide anything, and said: "Someone recommended us to enter the Famous Sword Academy, we are going to report to the Famous Sword Academy."


    "Famous Sword Academy?" The man was stunned, thinking to himself that Famous Sword Academy had a fixed time of accepting students every year, and this year had already passed the time for the academy to accept students.


    He secretly thought that since someone recommended these people to him, they must have very good Inherent Skills, or their statuses were not low, he did not doubt their identities at all and said in pleasant surprise: "What a coincidence, we are Famous Sword Academy''s students. I am called Bai Qian, and this is Zi Yan."


    Di Chen also did not expect to meet a student from Famous Sword Academy here, and laughed: "I am Di Chen, and these are Lin Tao and Liu Jingjing."


    "The two of you are also preparing to enter the Famous Sword Academy?" Zi Yan looked at Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao in confusion. Liu Jingjing was not weak, but Lin Tao was only at the first stage of Life Seizing Realm. He simply didn''t have the qualifications to enter the Famous Sword Academy with this little cultivation.


    "That''s right," Lin Tao knew what Zi Yan was thinking, and laughed heartily: "I only had the chance to enter the Famous Sword Academy because I took Di Chen''s glory, and we coincidentally do not know the path of the Famous Sword Academy, let''s travel together."


    Liu Jingjing frowned, she had always been suspicious, and did not like to interact with outsiders, unless she had truly confirmed that the other party did not have any ill intentions, this was the first time she had seen these two, it was really hard for her to believe them, but this kind of thing was not easy for her to decide, she still had to see what Di Chen was going to do.


    "Alright," Bai Qian agreed without hesitation, and quickly changed the subject. "But we still have to think of a way to get the Earth Spirit Fruit, and it might delay us for a while."


    Earth Spirit Fruits were not common, even Di Chen would be moved if he saw them, it was normal if Bai Qian did not want to give up.


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "The coyote are social demonic beast. I''m afraid the two of you will be in danger if you manage to obtain them, we will help you."


    A few coyote meant nothing to Di Chen, he thought that after entering the Famous Sword Academy, he would need to make friends with some people, and Bai Qian and Zi Yan did not look too bad, it was suitable for them to be friends.


    Lin Tao did not care, but Liu Jingjing was unwilling to do so. Other than Di Chen, she did not want to help anyone, nor did she want to become friends with him, but since Di Chen was willing, there was nothing she could do.


    Zi Yan and Bai Qian were pleasantly surprised. It was really too dangerous for the two of them to deal with those coyote, and it was also a good thing with Di Chen''s help.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan rested for a while, after recovering their spirit energy, they entered the forest again. The Earth Spirit Fruits were only two kilometres away from them, and were not too far away.


    Bai Qian could see the Earth Spirit Fruit from afar with a dozen or so Level 9 coyote surrounding the Earth Spirit Fruit. It seemed like they had been attacked before, so these coyote were especially careful.


    Zi Yan analyzed everyone''s strength and said: "It''s still a bit difficult for the few of us to handle those coyote, we thought that it would be best to find a way to kill them one by one."


    "There''s no need to go through all this trouble," Di Chen laughed, as his could totally stop all of the coyote.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan looked at Di Chen with doubtful expressions. It could be seen that Di Chen seemed to be very confident in himself.


    But just as Di Chen was about to rush over, Liu Jingjing pulled Di Chen back and reminded him: "There''s danger."


    Di Chen did not feel danger and asked with suspicion, "What danger?"


    Liu Jingjing squinted her eyes and stared into the distance: "There is a coyote there, I think this wolf king has already discovered us and is preparing to attack us, if you rush in there just now, you will definitely die."


    "Wolf King?" Bai Qian''s expression changed when he heard it, and he said in shock: "That can''t be, why didn''t we meet just now?"


    and Zi Yan had fought with those coyote before, if that Wolf King was here, it would be impossible for it not to appear.


    Liu Jingjing analyzed: "Even the Demonic King has a certain level of intelligence and is very cunning, I think that the Demonic King feels that he does not need to do anything."


    After Bai Qian heard this, he felt afraid, luckily the Wolf King looked down upon him, if not, he would definitely die. He immediately changed his mind, "Di Chen, I think it''s better not. This Demonic King is not someone we can take care of with our Lifestealer Realm."


    Zi Yan said in an unreconciled manner, "But we found these Earth Spirit Fruits with great difficulty, it''s such a pity to just leave like this."


    "The Wolf King?" Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Actually, it''s not like there is no chance, it''s just that there will be some risks, let''s see if you dare to take action now."


    Zi Yan was startled, he had originally wanted to leave, but upon hearing that, she immediately looked at Di Chen in surprise: "Could it be that you have a martial king friend nearby?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "No, but if the Wolf King''s realm isn''t high, I have a way to control it for a few breaths of time. These few seconds should be enough for us to pick those Earth Spirit Fruits, but the problem is that I don''t know which realm it is in."


    should be able to imprison the Wolf King, but the demonic beast''s strength was much greater than a human''s. Di Chen had never imprisoned the Wolf King before, so he was a little unconfident.


    Zi Yan and Bai Qian looked at each other, then looked at Di Chen with a strange expression. A warrior who had crossed two small realms, fighting with difficulty, was separated by one realm, which was the difference between cloud and mud. Di Chen was only in the Lifestealer Realm Realm, so how could he imprison a Martial King?


    Di Chen did not explain either. He took out the piece of ink from before and carefully broke off a small piece. Then, he took out the ink stone and poured some water into it.


    Zi Yan and Bai Qian were even more confused, thinking that Di Chen wanted to deal with the Wolf King, but why was he grinding ink?


    Di Chen carefully grinded the ink, previously, he had always left the matter of grinding the ink to Qin Suer, it had been a long time since he had grinded the ink, and suddenly he became unaccustomed to it. The ink was not even being grinded evenly, and it even splashed all over Di Chen''s body.


    Liu Jingjing was speechless, "No matter what, you are a scholar, why don''t I see that you don''t even know how to grind ink?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "In the past, when I was writing, I was always helped by Su''er at the side. Now that I don''t have her, I don''t think I''m used to it."


    "Then I''ll do it," Liu Jingjing took Di Chen''s inkstone and helped him grind the ink. Usually, women were more meticulous in their work, although Liu Jingjing had never grinded ink before, but what she grinded was definitely better than Di Chen.


    Di Chen looked at her from the side and laughed: "You are still not powerful enough. In the future, when I write, help me grind the ink."


    "Sure," Liu Jingjing agreed without hesitation. She was actually quite envious of Qin Suer helping Di Chen grind ink while she was writing.


    Di Chen was only joking initially, he did not think that Liu Jingjing would agree so straightforwardly. For a moment, he did not know how to respond to Liu Jingjing, so he could only remain silent.


    Lin Tao looked at Liu Jingjing and shook her head, thinking to herself that after Qin Suer left, there was another Liu Jingjing, Shang Yu was pitiful, but this was a private matter that she could not say.


    After a while, Liu Jingjing finished grinding the ink. Di Chen took out a few pieces of white paper, and used the Sky Spill Brush to take the ink. After that, he wrote a large "fix", and wrote ten pieces of paper.


    "Stick these papers close by," Di Chen reminded.


    The few of them divided the work, pasted the paper on the nearby tree trunk, and then pulled it back.


    Di Chen looked at Liu Jingjing and said: "Jingjing, go and lure that coyote King out, I''ll control it."


    "Alright," Liu Jingjing replied, then wanted to go out to lure the coyote.


    "Wait a minute," Zi Yan quickly stopped them and said fearfully: "Di Chen, these characters you wrote did not contain any spirit energy. Do you really have a way to imprison the coyote King?


    "That''s right," Bai Qian echoed. "I have seen quite a few array formations, but I''ve never seen such a simple array formation. Are you confident?"


    A normal formation would use runes and flags to set up it, the formation spirit energy was huge, but Di Chen just casually wrote a few "fix" characters on the ground nearby, this was not some formation, the two of them even thought Di Chen was joking.


    Lin Tao laughed out loud: "You guys can trust Di Chen, we are also afraid of death, if you do not have a 90% guarantee, then you will not act rashly."


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan were slightly relieved when they heard this, but they were still a little worried in their hearts. They originally wanted to ask Di Chen and the others for help, but they were too reckless.

 C121

    "I''m going," Liu Jingjing reminded them. Then, she strode towards the coyote and pointed her finger between their eyebrows. Streaks of lightning struck out, and like silver snakes, they swam about, instantly turning the two coyote into ashes.


    "Lightning martial soul?" Bai Qian''s face was filled with surprise: "Miss Jingjing is so strong, I''m afraid our Famous Sword Academy doesn''t have much Lifestealer Realm to compare with her."


    Not to mention the Famous Sword Academy, but in truth, the Sky Realm Academy didn''t have much Lifestealer Realm that could compare to Liu Jingjing''s either. Seeing Liu Jingjing''s strength, they finally believed in Di Chen a little.


    When the other coyote saw this, they immediately roared and charged towards Liu Jingjing. Liu Jingjing went up to meet them head on, but that coyote King did not appear, so Liu Jingjing did not need to lure these coyote to Di Chen''s formula.


    "Bai Qian, Zi Yan, the two of you go too. Be careful, if the Wolf King appears, you will come back."


    Di Chen said. If the coyote King had not appeared, with their strength, they could have easily killed the ordinary coyote first.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan also rushed to the coyote s. Although the two of them were far weaker than Liu Jingjing, each of them could still handle one or two coyote, and in this way, the three of them would quickly gain the upper hand as one coyote after another was killed by the three. Only Lin Tao, who was standing to the side, could watch.


    Roar!


    However, at this time, the sound of a demonic beast''s roar came out, the roar seemed to ripple across the bodies of the group of people, causing Liu Jingjing and the other two to be flipped over.


    Di Chen shouted loudly. He could sense that this coyote King was at least a Level 2 Demonic King.


    Liu Jingjing and the other two did not dare stay, as they got up and rushed towards Di Chen''s direction.


    At the same time, a gigantic coyote rushed out of the forest and pounced towards Liu Jingjing and the other two at an extremely fast speed. This coyote was at least ten meters tall and there were two bulges on its back.


    Liu Jingjing and Bai Qian were slightly faster, the two of them quickly arrived beside Di Chen.


    "Bai Qian, quickly save me," Zi Yan anxiously shouted. She was slower, and there was a coyote in front of her that was blocking her path. With her strength, she would not be able to kill this coyote in a short while, and the Wolf King behind her would catch up.


    Bai Qian saw that Zi Yan was in a precarious situation, with an anxious face, he wanted to save her, but he was very clear that he would not make it in time.


    Di Chen pulled Bai Qian back and shouted at Zi Yan: "Zi Yan, don''t worry about that coyote, just come back."


    The coyote looked at Zi Yan and bellowed, it seemed like it was ready to attack, but Di Chen told Zi Yan to not bother about the coyote, she looked at the coyote in front of his, and was a little afraid, if Di Chen did not have a way to kill the coyote, the consequences would be disastrous. She clenched his teeth and finally believed Di Chen, and directly rushed forward, not planning to attack the coyote.


    Di Chen''s finger wrote the word ''broken'' in the air, and the word floated towards the coyote. With a bang, it exploded, and the coyote''s blood and flesh immediately flew into the air, with some of the blood and flesh landing on Zi Yan''s body.


    In the end, Zi Yan still ran over to Di Chen''s side, his face was filled with lingering fear. If Di Chen did not kill that coyote just now, the consequences would have been unthinkable.


    At the same time.


    Bai Qian, Zi Yan and the others all looked at the coyote King with a face full of fear. If Di Chen did not imprison the coyote King, everyone would die.


    Di Chen stared at the coyote King intently. Just at this moment, the coyote King had finally arrived near Di Chen, and the power of the literati within Di Chen''s body immediately surged out. He shouted, "Stay right there."


    Just as the coyote King pounced towards Di Chen, its claws suddenly stopped in front of him. It was like a painting, the surrounding wind had stopped, the entire small world became quiet, as if it could not feel any signs of life.


    Di Chen was ecstatic, he never thought that the words written on the ink stone would be so powerful that even a level two Demonic King would be imprisoned. In fact, Di Chen was not very confident previously.


    "Go harvest the Earth Spirit Fruit now," Di Chen shouted, and immediately rushed towards the Earth Spirit Fruit.


    Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao reacted quickly, but both Zi Yan and Bai Qian were so shocked that they couldn''t even speak. This Di Chen could actually imprison a coyote king?


    But from the looks of it, Di Chen wouldn''t be able to hold it back for long, it''s eyes started to turn quickly, and the two of them immediately rushed towards the Earth Spirit Fruit. A few people were crazily harvesting the Earth Spirit Fruit, but because there were still a few coyote nearby, their harvesting was not going smoothly.


    "Hmm?" After a few breaths, Di Chen felt the Wolf King start to tremble, and its body faintly recovered its ability to move. He shouted again: "Go, this coyote King can move."


    The few of them did not dare to stay, and immediately ran out of the forest. Not long after, the coyote King moved, and chased after Di Chen and the others.


    coyote was best at speed. Even many Martial Kings in the Demonic King were inferior to them, how could Di Chen and the rest outrun them.


    Zi Yan was anxious, if this goes on, he was afraid that he would be caught up by the coyote King.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper that had the word "spear" written on it. This was the "spear" that Di Chen had written down when he was practising, and he used a normal ink and brush. The words did not contain the Spiritual Energy, he threw out the pieces of paper, pinched the Method of travelling, and a long spear flew out to welcome the coyote King.


    The pikes immediately dispersed in the strong wind. This kind of normal ink would not harm the Wolf King at all, but Di Chen had no choice, in order to imprison the King Di, he had used up most of his powers, and in the process, he had no way of writing.


    Liu Jingjing immediately pointed between her brows and streaks of lightning struck towards the coyote King like silver snakes. Some of the lightning was dodged by the coyote King, but more lightning struck onto the body of the coyote King, burning it black. However, it did not cause too much damage to its life.


    "No, this Demonic King is too strong." Liu Jingjing released too many martial soul s in a moment. Their spirit energy had been destroyed and she did not dare to continue displaying it. Furthermore, her expression was a little dispirited, her mind did not shake, and her speed had slowed by a lot.


    It was also at this time that the coyote King pounced towards Liu Jingjing and opened its mouth to bite him.


    "Jingjing," Di Chen''s face changed, it was too late to save her.


    Just at this time, Bai Qian and Zi Yan were in the center of their eyebrows at the same time. From between their eyebrows, two Spirit Sword s shot out, one short and one long, one red and one green.


    "Chi!" "Chi!"


    The two Spirit Sword s struck the Wolf King at the same time and directly forced it to retreat a few steps. However, the two Spirit Sword s were bounced back and returned to the space between their eyebrows. The two people''s faces were pale, it seemed that using this move had consumed a lot of energy, and luckily, they managed to save Liu Jingjing''s life.


    "Jingjing, are you alright?" Zi Yan asked.


    Liu Jingjing said fearfully, "I''m fine, that attack just now was so powerful."


    In fact, just based on their individual strengths, Zi Yan and Bai Qian were not strong, but their martial soul s were both swords, and had always been training together, allowing the two Sword Martial Spirit s to launch a joint attack. The might of the attack was even stronger than Di Chen''s Spear Arts, but they could at most use it once, and that would still not be able to stop the coyote.


    Finally!


    Di Chen and the rest rushed out of the forest and onto the streets, but at this time, the coyote King followed along and pounced towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen''s face changed. He never thought that the coyote King would actually catch up to him and complain in secret.


    "Di Chen..." He wanted to save Di Chen but it was too late. He could only watch as Di Chen pounced towards Di Chen.


    However, just at this time, a black shadow suddenly descended, and with two stomps on the head of the coyote, it caused the ground to shake, and a large crater of about ten feet was formed. The Wolf King was directly trampled into the subterranean.


    It was only then that everyone could see that the person was a rough looking man dressed in beast skin. He was tall, three meters in height, and his arm was as thick as a bucket.


    "I never thought that I would actually see a coyote King here. My luck is really good, I thought that I would have to take a risk and enter the mountain again."


    The man lifted up the coyote. The wolf king''s head was stepped on until it exploded, blood flowing out.


    "So powerful," Di Chen was secretly surprised, this guy actually stomped this coyote to death, this cultivation must be at least Third Level of the Martial King Realm.


    "Senior brother Kui Shan," Bai Qian suddenly called out in shock.


    The man who was called Kui Shan looked over curiously, and when she saw Bai Qian''s eyes lit up: "So it''s Junior Brother Bai Qian, did you lure this coyote King out?"


    Bai Qian explained: "Earlier, we found an Earth Spirit Fruit and harvested a few Earth Spirit Fruits. In the end, we were chased by the coyote King and chased all the way here."


    Kui Shan asked curiously: "Your luck is really good, you actually managed to find the Earth Spirit Fruit. Usually, the coyote s are hidden beside the Earth Spirit Fruit trees, it''s just luck that you guys were able to find the Earth Spirit Fruit."


    Zi Yan said in fear: "If we didn''t meet Senior Kui Shan, I''m afraid that we would be dead this time."


    When he thought about how these people had been chased by the coyote for a long time, Kui Shan was a little surprised. He understood Bai Qian''s and Zi Yan''s strength, and with their cultivation, it was impossible for them to escape for such a long time.


    "Oh, right." Kui Shan curiously looked at Di Chen and the other two and said, "Who are these three? I don''t think I''ve seen it before. "


    Bai Qian introduced: "This is Di Chen, Liu Jingjing, Lin Tao. They are going to report to Famous Sword Academy."


    Right now, it was already past the time for them to accept disciples. Why would the three of them report to the academy? Could it be that their identities were special?

 C122

    "So it''s my new junior brother and sister. I am Kui Shan, a student of the Famous Sword Academy. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me."


    Kui Shan said passionately, then threw the coyote on the ground and laughed: "This is my gift to you all."


    A Demonic King was nothing to a person with Martial King Realm, but to a person with Lifestealer Realm like Di Chen, it was extremely rare. Di Chen had already reached the peak of the Lifestealer Realm, and had faintly reached the point of breaking through the Martial King Realm, but the problem was that Di Chen did not rely on cultivation to break through to a new realm like other warriors, but rather, to break through a new realm by absorbing the blood and flesh of demonic beast. He wanted to break through to the Martial King realm and absorb the blood and flesh of the Demonic King.


    "Thank you, Senior Kui Shan," Di Chen was not polite and immediately kept the coyote''s corpse. Even if he did not use it to absorb the spiritual energy, the corpse could be used to sell it for money.


    Kui Shan laughed. "There''s no need to be courteous. I still have some matters to attend to. I''ll be leaving first."


    With that said, he leaped up, with one leap, he was already more than 10 metres high, his body directly entering the forest, he was as nimble as a demonic beast.


    "So powerful." Lin Tao said with a face of envy: "Is this Martial King Realm? I wonder when I will be able to cultivate to this level."


    A Martial King''s strength and speed could not be compared to Lifestealer Realm, but in reality, Kui Shan herself was very strong. Even among Martial Kings, there were not many who had his strength.


    Liu Jingjing looked at Di Chen, although she did not say anything, Di Chen understood what she meant. This Kui Shan looked straightforward, but Liu Jingjing did not trust him, she felt that he was a dangerous person.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen did not say much, and inwardly thought that it would be better if they didn''t have to deal with him in the future, so the few of them headed in the direction of Youzhou City.


    "Oh right," Bai Qian asked curiously. "Di Chen, what was the move that you used to imprison the coyote earlier, why didn''t I sense a trace of spirit energy from your body?"


    Zi Yan also looked at Di Chen in confusion. Previously, when Di Chen killed that coyote, he did the same thing.


    Di Chen chuckled: "You will know in the future."


    Bai Qian knew that Di Chen was hiding his identity from him, which was understandable. A warrior''s secret could not be revealed, otherwise, it would be very dangerous to meet an enemy. After all, Di Chen was not familiar with Bai Qian, so it was normal for him not to know him.


    After four hours, they finally walked out of the range of the mountain and arrived at the gate of Youzhou City. Youzhou City was the same as the Millennium City, because there were many demonic beast in the three sides of the mountain, Youzhou City was also surrounded by a towering city wall, after entering the city, they saw that there were experts everywhere in the city. There were no ordinary people in this big city, at least they were Lifestealer Realm experts.


    Bai Qian reminded them with a serious face: "Di Chen, this Youzhou City is unlike any other places. Although killing is clearly prohibited here, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.


    Zi Yan also reminded him, "That''s right, there are a lot of devil arts here. You must not offend others, or else you won''t even know how you died."


    It could be seen that the two of them seemed really scared.


    How could Di Chen not see the danger in this place? After entering the city, he could feel that many people were sizing him up without restraint, some people''s gazes never left them, if he was given the chance, they might even kill him.


    This was normal, people like Di Chen who didn''t have any Yuan Power would easily attract attention. Someone who didn''t have any Yuan Power would dare to come to Youzhou City?


    They were still a long way from becoming a sword student, so they did not immediately prepare to return to the Academy. Instead, they found an inn and got two rooms to rest, where Di Chen, Lin Tao and Liu Jingjing lived together.


    In the guest room.


    Di Chen took out the coyote King''s corpse, then looked at Lin Tao and said: "I originally wanted to keep the coyote King''s corpse for myself to absorb, but now it seems that I have to quickly increase your strength. I plan to sell the coyote King''s corpse, and buy some pills for you to cultivate."


    It would be difficult for Lin Tao to survive in Youzhou with his strength at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme. He had to increase his strength as soon as possible.


    "I''ve implicated you guys again." Lin Tao scratched his head with an awkward smile on his face. Currently, his cultivation was indeed rather weak. One must know that many of the merchants and servants in the Spirit Continent were stronger than Lin Tao.


    Liu Jingjing laughed, "With your cultivation at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, you can contend against those at the fifth stage. As long as you try your best to break through to the fifth stage, you should be able to stand up here."


    Previously, Lin Tao had already fought with Fang Hao, who was at the fifth level of Life Seizing. Yet, he wasn''t at a disadvantage at all. With the help of the Sky Tyrant Sword, he would be able to contend against an eighth level Life Stealing expert once he broke through to the fifth level.


    Di Chen said: "I''ll rest for a while first, then I''ll find a place to sell this coyote King''s corpse. Coincidentally, I still have a lot of money on me, so I can help Lin Tao buy more Spirit Grass."


    Liu Jingjing had previously consumed a lot of spirit energy, and immediately swallowed a few pills to cultivate, while Di Chen started to write, waiting for the three people to recover before leaving the room, and just happened to bump into Bai Qian and Zi Yan when they were about to leave.


    Di Chen went straight to the point: "Where is the trading pavilion located around here, I want to sell the coyote King''s corpse."


    Zi Yan introduced: "The biggest trading pavilion in Youzhou City is Shuiyue Workshop, it has many branches, and nearby, there is one. Coincidentally, we also want to sell some Earth Spirit Fruits, let''s go together."


    After the five of them left the tavern, they went to the Shuiyue Workshop. Although they were going to a branch of the Shuiyue Workshop, the area of the branch was not small.


    Di Chen sold the coyote King''s corpse, it was not considered expensive, it was only a hundred thousand silver, after all, there were countless strong warriors in Youzhou, and many people would hunt and sell Demonic King''s corpses everyday. This coyote King was also not considered a special demonic beast, but luckily Di Chen had gotten a lot of spirit medicine from the small fruit previously, and he also got a lot of silver from the miscellaneous herbs, adding the extra money Di Chen had, he had a total of five hundred thousand silver, which was enough for Lin Tao to buy more pills.


    In reality, Di Chen originally had more money on him than usual, and it was also because Di Chen had swapped all of his money for points in order to buy the Sky Spill Brush. Now, he did not have much left to buy medicine for Lin Tao.


    "Lin Tao has the Sky Tyrant Sword. This sword is very powerful, so he doesn''t need a weapon or a cultivation technique for now. It''s more important to raise his cultivation level first."


    Di Chen looked at Liu Jingjing and asked: What do you think is the best choice?


    Di Chen levelled up through absorbing Demonic beast flesh and blood, so he did not know how ordinary warriors trained.


    Liu Jingjing pondered and said: "Lin Tao is mainly focused on power, so of course I can''t buy ordinary pills. With his current realm, the best is the Energetic Demon Bull.


    "Great Strength Demon Ox Ball!" When Lin Tao heard it, he became excited: "In the past, this kind of thing is rarely seen in the Ling''an City, it''s also very expensive, and only the Family Head can use it."


    The Energetic Demon Bull was made from the meat of demonic beast s that were unique to the Wilderness. It could increase a person''s strength and was suitable for warriors like Lin Tao to consume. Di Chen was not suitable for it.


    Di Chen immediately bought ten Energetic Demon Bull, he had almost used up all the money he had on him. One million silver was not a small sum for Lifestealer Realm, and no warrior would spend that much to raise their cultivation by two small realms. It had to be said that the cost of cultivation was too high.


    Di Chen sighed, "To martial artists, spending money is just too fast. One million could only help you increase your cultivation by two small realms, and the higher your realm, the harder it would be. You would need at least two million gold coins to break through to the fifth stage of Life Seizing."


    A single coyote King corpse could only be sold for one hundred thousand taels of silver, and one could only buy one Energetic Demon Pill with one hundred thousand taels of silver. On average, five Energetic Demon Pills could be used to raise one''s Lifestealer Realm by a small realm, and it was extremely difficult to kill a Demonic King with Lifestealer Realm, so one could imagine how difficult it was to cultivate.


    After buying the pellets, Di Chen went to find Bai Qian to prepare to leave. When he found him, he discovered that Bai Qian and Zi Yan were currently surrounded by three people, and the strength of these five people ranged from the fifth stage of Life Seizing to the ninth stage of Life Stealing.


    Di Chen immediately walked over, and looked at Bai Qian: "Bai Qian, what''s going on?"


    Bai Qian said angrily, "Just now, we bought a Heaven Origin Pill, but this is the last Heaven Origin Pill. These fellows also wanted to buy it, so they wanted to forcefully buy our Heaven Origin Pill."


    Zi Yan agreed angrily: "A Heaven Origin Pill costs one hundred and fifty thousand gold each, and these people want to buy it with one hundred thousand gold each. It''s too infuriating."


    He was called Chen He, and in the middle, there was a handsome man with long hair. He looked handsome, with a soft sword on his back, and his cultivation was at least at the eighth stage of Life Seizing State, his name was Li Xiu, and on the right side, there was a skinny man who gave off an evil aura, giving people a feeling that he was safe. His cultivation was at the ninth stage of Life Stealing, and he was the strongest of the three, Yang Yu.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan both had a cultivation at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Stage. The two of them were much stronger than the other, but they were afraid of the three of them.


    Di Chen curiously glanced at the three of them, and immediately determined their strength, without saying much, he looked at Bai Qian and said: "Let''s go."


    Just as he was about to leave, Chen He blocked their path. He snorted and said, "Who are you? How dare you interfere with our business?"


    Although Di Chen had a large number of people, Di Chen did not have any elemental energy, so he was obviously not a martial artist. Furthermore, Lin Tao was only at the first stage of Life Seizing, and only Liu Jingjing was a little stronger, but just him alone was nothing to the trio, so they did not put Di Chen and the others in their eyes.


    "Chen He, don''t go too far. We bought the Heaven Origin Pill first." Bai Qian was so angry that he scolded loudly.

 C123

    Chen He said in a disapproving manner, "But this is what we wanted first. You bought what we wanted and you still dare to clamor?"


    Li Xiu also laughed: "That''s right, we had been wanting to buy Heaven''s Origin Pills for a long time, but you stole our things, and now you say that we are going overboard, you call it the villain suing first."


    Zi Yan said angrily: "Nonsense, the Heaven Origin Pill is right here, you entered the Shuiyue Workshop before us, if you wanted to buy it you would have already bought it. I see that you guys are unwilling to part with the money, so you deliberately waited for us to buy it before wanting to force us."


    Li Xiu smiled but did not speak, and did not argue with Zi Yan. He did not want to spend one hundred and fifty thousand to buy this Heavenly Yuan pill, so he waited for Bai Qian and the others to also buy it, then find an excuse to rob him.


    Chen He sneered. "I don''t care what you think, since this pill is ours, we can still pay a hundred thousand silver taels for it. If you continue to be this unreasonable, we won''t even have one hundred thousand silver taels."


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan were so angry that they wanted to take the pellets, but the two of them seemed to be afraid of Yang Yu, so they endured it and did not dare say a word.


    Liu Jingjing looked at Chen He and laughed: "Why aren''t you looking at our strength? Do you think you have the power to snatch our pills?"


    Chen He noticed that Liu Jingjing''s cultivation was higher than her, and said with a stern face: "I presume you are not from Youzhou, you must not know my identity, so I advise you not to meddle in other people''s business."


    Liu Jingjing was not a woman who liked to be bullied, and said mockingly: "I already meddle in other people''s business, so what can you do?"


    "You ¡­" Chen He did not expect Liu Jingjing to not give him face at all, it seemed that she did not know of her identity, but he did not dare take action rashly.


    At this time, Li Xiu walked out, and looked at Liu Jingjing from head to toe, "Ninth stage of the Life Seizing Supreme Realm, it''s not easy to cultivate to this place, do you think that you''re very powerful just because you''re at the ninth stage of the Life Seizing Stage?"


    Liu Jingjing said tit for tat: "At least slightly stronger than you."


    Li Xiu laughed coldly: "If it wasn''t for the fact that Shuiyue Workshop forbids private duels, based on those words, you would already be a dead man now."


    He could tell that Li Xiu was very confident in himself, but looking at his elemental energy, he could imagine that he could at least kill ordinary lifeblood and heavy realm experts.


    Di Chen was too lazy to argue with them, and said: "Jingjing, don''t bother with them, let''s go first."


    As he said this, he prepared to leave. Since fighting was not allowed here, no matter how much he argued, there was no end to it.


    "You''re courting death." It was at this moment that Chen He took another step forward to block the three people and wanted to make a move, but at this moment, Chen He''s body stopped, as if stopped by something, and he couldn''t speak, and only his eyes were still moving.


    Without even looking at him, Di Chen calmly walked past him. Bai Qian and Zi Yan knew that it was done by Di Chen, so they did not say anything more and followed Di Chen and left.


    "Chen He," Li Xiu walked over and patted Chen He''s body in surprise. "What happened to you?"


    Chen He''s eyeballs were only moving. It was obvious that he wanted to say something, but he just couldn''t say it.


    "Don''t leave," Li Xiu took a step towards Liu Jingjing, and fiercely punched him. He understood Bai Qian''s and Zi Yan''s strength, the two of them did not know such a mystical technique, and Liu Jingjing was the strongest amongst the other three, so Chen He instinctively assumed that it was Liu Jingjing who did it.


    Liu Jingjing turned her head to face off against Li Xiu, and with the collision of two fists, Li Xiu was instantly knocked several steps back, while Liu Jingjing remained completely motionless. Although Liu Jingjing''s strength was not strong, she would definitely not lose to a person at the eighth stage of the life reaping Realm.


    "Hmm?" Li Xiu said in shock: "Although I am not good at strength, there are not many ninth stage Life Seizing Cultivators that can compare to me. It seems that I have underestimated you."


    Liu Jingjing said seriously: "I heard that Shuiyue Workshop does not allow people to kill, so I did not kill you just now. If you continue to pester me, then don''t blame me for being ruthless."


    "Our Famous Sword Academy specializes in the usage of swords, so my punch just now did not display my full strength. I never expected that I would be looked down upon by you, I really want to see how you are going to be impolite.


    Li Xiu was someone who cared about his reputation a lot, today was the first time he was beaten back, how could he accept such a situation? Taking a big stride towards Liu Jingjing, he slashed with his sword, the Sword Qi was like a blade, it was extremely powerful.


    Bai Qian immediately shouted, "Jingjing, be careful. Don''t go head to head against him."


    Liu Jingjing did not dodge, and just as Li Xiu was about to slash, he dodged to the side, and then used her finger as a sword point towards Li Xiu.


    This attack seemed soft and powerless, but there was a fierce gust of wind coming from the two fingers, like a sword aura.


    Liu Jingjing''s two fingers just happened to touch Li Xiu''s shoulder. With a pu sound, Li Xiu''s shoulder was directly penetrated, and blood sprayed in all directions. His entire body was also sent flying, and landed heavily on the ground, spitting out blood.


    "Impossible," Li Xiu said in shock. From the attack just now, he could tell that the two of them were not on the same level, but he was a student of the Famous Sword Academy.


    "I''ll kill you," Li Xiu said with an unwilling expression. He pointed between his brows and a Spirit Sword flew out. This was his Sword Martial Spirit, and almost all of the warriors in the Famous Sword Academy were Sword Martial Spirit.


    To send out the martial soul meant that he wanted to kill. This Li Xiu was obviously enraged, he did not care that the Shuiyue Workshop forbade fighting, so when they saw him use the martial soul, they all looked over curiously, thinking to themselves that if this guy''s martial soul was powerful, they would probably not be able to handle this attack.


    "Jingjing ¡­" Di Chen was a little worried that Liu Jingjing would be in danger.


    "I''m fine," Liu Jingjing laughed, and also pressed on the center of his brows. A streak of silver lightning shot out from between his brows, striking the Sword Martial Spirit, and when the two clashed, the sound of lightning crackling could be heard. The Sword Martial Spirit was twisted by the lightning, showing signs of collapsing.


    "Not good, she wants to destroy my martial soul," Li Xiu''s face changed, and he immediately called Sword Martial Spirit back.


    At the same time, the lightning blade struck Li Xiu''s body, causing his skin to split open. All the clothes on his body had turned into ashes, if Liu Jingjing had used even a little more force, she would have been able to turn Li Xiu into ashes already, but Liu Jingjing had spared Li Xiu''s life.


    "My martial soul," Li Xiu screamed in fear. He had originally wanted to kill Liu Jingjing, but who would have thought that the martial soul would be destroyed instead. It could be said that his strength was weakened by half.


    Li Xiu''s face was filled with anger as he stared at Liu Jingjing. He still wanted to attack, but his body was in so much pain that he couldn''t move at all.


    Although Chen He was stunned, he could still see the scene before him. The lady''s strength was so much stronger than Li Xiu''s, he had actually wanted to cause trouble for them earlier, if they had truly made a move, he would already be dead.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan also looked at Liu Jingjing weirdly. They knew that Liu Jingjing was powerful, but Liu Jingjing''s strength was beyond their imagination.


    "This woman is quite amazing," the surrounding people were all surprised. It was obvious that she hadn''t used her full strength; she was probably not far from Martial King Realm.


    Liu Jingjing laughed lightly, looked at Di Chen and said: "Let''s go."


    The crowd left once more.


    "Wait," Yang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Previously, he did not take Liu Jingjing and the others seriously, thinking that Li Xiu could completely deal with them.


    Liu Jingjing turned around and laughed: "You also want to test my strength?"


    Yang Yu said calmly: You seem to be the strongest amongst them, and defeating you is actually a little troublesome, I do not plan to fight with you today, but you must remember, you stole our Heaven Origin Pills, and you also injured Li Xiu, I will not let this matter rest.


    Lin Tao scolded, "You should know that defeating Jingjing is a little troublesome, don''t forget that we still have a few people left. If we were to fight, you would definitely lose, and you still dare to threaten us, do you believe that we will make you regret it now?"


    Yang Yu admitted that he was not that much stronger than Liu Jingjing, but the opponent still had Bai Qian and Zi Yan. And now that Li Xiu was heavily injured, his fighting strength was useless.


    To Lin Tao, it was really funny that Yang Yu still dared to mock them in this kind of situation, but Yang Yu had never been laughed at by anyone.


    "Let''s go," Yang Yu did not linger, and allowed Chen He to support Li Xiu, and left the Shuiyue Workshop.


    Li Xiu and Chen He looked at Liu Jingjing fiercely. They would not let Di Chen and the rest go, if there was a chance, they would definitely make a move.


    Bai Qian said worriedly: "Jingjing, this Yang Yu has a good relationship with a lot of people in the Famous Sword Academy. If they knew that you are also from the Famous Sword Academy, they would definitely not let you off. You guys have to be careful."


    Liu Jingjing laughed indifferently: "They think I''m the strongest, but they don''t know that there''s still Di Chen here, if they dare to find trouble with us, they will suffer."


    It had to be known that Di Chen was the number one expert in the Sky Realm Academy s. Even if he had more Lifestealer Realm, it would be useless for a literati like Di Chen.


    Bai Qian had seen Di Chen''s strength before, and knew that even the Demonic King was not weak. Di Chen was not simple, and seeing how confident he was, he was no longer worried.


    Afterwards, the group returned to the inn and began cultivating.


    Di Chen handed ten Energetic Demon Bull to Lin Tao, and Lin Tao immediately started to swallow the pills. The pills dissolved in his mouth, and he could feel a powerful energy seeping into his body, and with the visible speed of Lin Tao''s qi and blood strengthening, as well as the swelling of his muscles, it was possible to see the blood vessels in his body, and the energy was enough to shatter the void, it was not easy to refine one Energetic Demon Ball at all, the process was extremely painful, and if he was not careful, he could explode a person''s body.

 C124

    Two hours later, Lin Tao had already absorbed a Demon Ox Ball, and his strength had clearly increased by a lot. However, his cultivation level had yet to break through.


    Di Chen asked curiously: "How are you doing?"


    Lin Tao was covered in sweat as he panted heavily, "This pill is not for human consumption. I felt like my body was about to explode, so I''ll have to wait until tomorrow to consume the second pill."


    Di Chen laughed: "Anyway, we are not in a rush. How about this, wait until you refine all 10 Demon Bull pills before we report to the Academy."


    Refining ten medicinal pellets would allow Lin Tao to break through the Life Seizing triple stage, and once he reached this realm, he would be able to compete with those who were at the fifth stage of Life Seizing. This would also be safer.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: This is for the best, we are alone in Famous Sword Academy and have no support, and now we have offended someone, if we do not increase our strength, I am afraid it will be dangerous, but it is a pity that I will not be able to break through Martial King Realm.


    Di Chen analyzed his own strength and said: "It''s easier for me to break through the Martial King Realm than it is for you. I just need to absorb more of the Demonic King''s flesh and blood, but absorbing the Demonic King''s flesh and blood is very dangerous for me, the realm of the scholars is rather difficult, I''m afraid I won''t be able to improve much within ten days."


    It was clear that Di Chen and the other two did not have any leeway in Famous Sword Academy, and now that Di Chen did need to urgently increase his realm, it was just that everyone lacked money, so raising his realm was too difficult.


    Liu Jingjing took out the book to read again. Breaking through such a small realm, Di Chen did not need to comprehend any dao, but to break through to a large realm, Di Chen had to comprehend the principles contained within the book. Originally, Di Chen wanted to read the¡¶ The Origin of All Techniques¡· that he brought from Eternal Gate, but after thinking for a while, he kept the book.


    It was said that the time in this world was fixed, and that these amounts of time would be allocated to every single life. When the time a life lived for was longer than the time that he was supposed to live, the time other life would be reduced, and to give a simple example, if Di Chen were to die at the age of twenty, the eighty years would be allocated to another life. Or rather, if Di Chen was to live to the age of twelve, then that time would be longer than twenty years, and he would be taken out of the other life.


    "All living beings survive for a certain amount of time. What has changed is every living being."


    This was the first time Di Chen had heard this saying, and he couldn''t help but be curious. All life''s survival time was always a definite value, how did the person who wrote this book know about it?


    Suddenly!


    "If a person''s life is changed, then can life be taken away?"


    Di Chen continued to study and only then did he realize that it was more like a cultivation technique than an ordinary book, it was just that it was something that scholars could not understand.


    "Life Deprivation ¡­" He suddenly opened his eyes after a while. He saw that there was a thin line above Liu Jingjing''s and Lin Tao''s head, but this thin line was a bit long, so it meant that''s lifespan was longer than Lin Tao''s, which meant that Liu Jingjing''s lifespan was longer than her, which meant that Liu Jingjing''s lifespan was after all, at the ninth stage of Soul Stealing, and Lin Tao''s was only at the triple stage of soul stealing, so her lifespan was naturally shorter than''s.


    Di Chen stretched out both his hands. He felt that he could erase this line, but he could not increase this line. This meant that he could reduce the other party''s HP, but he could not increase the other party''s HP.


    "Interesting," Di Chen clicked his tongue in wonder. Of course, all of this was just Di Chen''s guesses, he did not know if this thread''s abilities were the same as his. Seems like he would need to find someone else to test it on in the future.


    However, Di Chen felt that he had consumed the power of a scholar very quickly, so he quickly put away the cultivation technique. His eyes returned to normal, and the threads on Liu Jingjing''s and Lin Tao''s heads disappeared.


    "Since it''s more tiring than using Spear Arts," Di Chen sighed. It had only been a few seconds, how could he be so tired.


    After resting for a while, Di Chen continued to study the¡¶ Life Theory¡·, wanting to see if there were any other things he had yet to discover.


    "Di Chen, Di Chen..." Liu Jingjing suddenly came over from the side.


    "Huh?" Di Chen jumped in shock, only then did he come back to his senses. He looked at Liu Jingjing and asked: "What''s wrong?"


    Liu Jingjing looked at Di Chen strangely and said: "You have already looked at it for five days, and have not eaten, spoken, nor rested. Aren''t you tired?"


    "Five days?" Di Chen was shocked. He clearly felt that he had only looked at it for a few hours.


    Lin Tao also agreed, "Yeah, you''ve read this book several times over the past five days, why did I call you ''I didn''t listen''? I thought you were stupid."


    This was the first time he had read such an interesting book, and he immediately forgot about the time. He stood up, and the moment he moved, his body would go numb and his muscles would twitch, he had been like this for five days without any movement. Furthermore, Di Chen''s mind was a little tired, but he realized that his powers of literature had increased by a lot, so he had a faint possibility of breaking through the King Wen.


    "I''ve read so many books, yet I haven''t been able to find a single book that can help me break through to King Wen. I never thought that a random book like this would be able to help me."


    Di Chen was secretly happy, the reason he read this book before was purely because it was interesting.


    When a scholar comprehended dao from a book, he could only increase the power of a scholar through comprehending great principles. However, this book did not have any logic, Di Chen had instead improved more than ever before.


    "Looks like I''ll have to read a lot of books in the future," Di Chen thought, things like travel notes and novels seemed to have a chance to raise his cultivation, this would depend on luck and fate, but reading a lot of books was never a bad thing.


    "I''m a little tired," Di Chen said as he looked at Liu Jingjing: "I''m going to sleep for a while."


    Liu Jingjing nodded her head, she could guess that Di Chen''s cultivation had increased again, but as a warrior, she was unable to see how much strength Di Chen had.


    Di Chen slept for a day, and on the second day he woke up full of energy, his body also felt relaxed, his strength had risen up quickly, but he still needed to look at opportunities to break through the King Wen. In the following days, Di Chen spent most of his time researching < Destiny >, and he read this book more than ten times, and now, he could clearly see a person''s lifeline, he could feel that he could quietly erase this lifeline, but this kind of action seemed to be somewhat malicious, so Di Chen had never tried it, but it was actually a very good way to kill enemies.


    Lin Tao, on the other hand, had been refining the Energetic Demon Ox Pills. After consuming ten of the Energetic Demon Pill, Lin Tao''s cultivation had already broken through the Soul Seizing triple stage, so Liu Jingjing''s strength did not increase by much.


    "I''m finally done cultivating." Lin Tao felt the power in his body, as if it was about to spill out of his body.


    "I should be able to report to the academy soon." Di Chen thought that the strength of the three of them had increased a lot in the past few days, so it would be safer to report to the Academy.


    Then, the three of them went to find Bai Qian and Zi Yan. Because Di Chen and the other two stayed back to cultivate, they prepared to go back to the Academy after Di Chen and the other two finished.


    "Lin Tao''s strength seems to have increased a lot, but you have to be careful of his cultivation level in the Famous Sword Academy." Bai Qian noticed that Lin Tao seemed to have already broken through the Life Reaping triple stage, but in his heart, he did not think that Lin Tao would be that strong. After all, his triple stage did not even have the qualifications to enter the Famous Sword Academy.


    In fact, it was because Bai Qian had not seen Lin Tao take action during this period of time that he underestimated him. Bai Qian did not know that the current Lin Tao was capable of fighting against people of the five six stages.


    Zi Yan also knew that Lin Tao''s temper was impulsive, and reminded him, "Famous Sword Academy does not possess a cultivation below the fifth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, you better not start an argument with anyone."


    Lin Tao laughed, "I know what I''m doing. You can rest assured."


    The Famous Sword Academy and the Sky Realm Academy were different, they were all free martial artists here. Everyone trained alone, and without a teacher to guide them, but once in a while the academy would also have some big lessons, and at this time, the teachers of the academy would personally instruct those who had doubts. Many people would break through to a new realm under such a big lesson, and normally you wouldn''t even be able to see the shadow of the teacher.


    Just as they reached the entrance of the academy, they were obstructed by two people. Famous Sword Academy was the same as Sky Realm Academy, and outsiders were not allowed to enter as they please.


    "Senior apprentice-brother Fang Jin, senior apprentice-sister Dong Yun, the two of them are new students. They have letters of recommendation."


    Bai Qian quickly explained, looked at Di Chen and said: "Di Chen, show them the recommendation letter."


    Di Chen immediately took out Zhao Fusheng''s recommendation letter and handed it over to the two of them.


    "Someone actually recommended it?" If the teachers of the Famous Sword Academy were to find out that the talented disciples were recommended to enter the Famous Sword Academy, they would normally not be recommended by ordinary people. The Academy up till now, only has a dozen or so students, but Di Chen does not have any spirit energy, so no matter how you look at him, he is not like a warrior.


    Fang Jin opened the recommendation letter and saw that it was actually Zhao Fusheng''s signature. He was startled: "It was actually recommended by Vice President Zhao?"


    "Vice President Zhao?" It was indeed Zhao Fusheng''s handwriting. She suspiciously looked at Di Chen and the other two, and her gaze finally landed on Liu Jingjing, thinking that of the three, Liu Jingjing had the strongest cultivation, so Vice Principal Zhao definitely wanted her to enter Famous Sword Academy, which was why he had no choice but to let the other two join. But to recommend one person to accept the other two without talent, how strong was this girl?


    In reality, Dong Yun did not know that Zhao Fusheng had recommended Di Chen, while Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao had only followed him in.

 C125

    Bai Qian knew that someone had recommended Di Chen, but he did not go into detail and asked: "Di Chen, why don''t you say that it was Vice President Zhao who recommended you guys? Vice President Zhao''s requirements are rather high, I have never seen his recommended person enter the Academy."


    Di Chen laughed: "Maybe because he is too old that his eyes are blurry, he recommended us."


    Dong Yun said in a speechless manner, "If he were to hear these words of yours, he would probably give you a layer of reprieve."


    She thought that Di Chen daring to say such words seemed to have something to do with Zhao Fusheng.


    Di Chen did not know what kind of temper Principal Zhao had. In fact, many people in Famous Sword Academy were afraid of Vice Principal Zhao.


    "You may enter," Fang Jin returned the recommendation letter to Di Chen, who then entered the Famous Sword Academy.


    Fang Jin and Dong Yun looked at Liu Jingjing with odd expressions, thinking to themselves, This girl is also only at the ninth stage of Life Seizing, why would Vice Principal Zhao place so much importance on her?


    This place did not look like an artificial forest. There were trees everywhere, and you could even see the river that was flowing through the academy. The air was filled with spirit energy, and it was a place to cultivate.


    Di Chen was amazed, thinking that this place was more suitable for him to read than the Sky Realm Academy, he could casually find a place to enjoy the fragrance of flowers, like a paradise.


    When they entered the academy, many people also saw Di Chen and the rest, and all of them looked over curiously.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan were originally from the Academy, so they could be considered familiar with each other. However, these fellows seemed to be unfamiliar faces, could they be freshmen?


    Everyone could see that Liu Jingjing was very strong, but Lin Tao and Di Chen were both surprised. How did these two enter the Famous Sword Academy with a person with a life reaping triple stage who did not have any soul force in their body?


    "Hmm?" Just then, Di Chen suddenly felt a hostile gaze, he turned his head and saw that in the distance there were three people looking at him, they were Li Xiu, Chen He and Yang Yu.


    "It''s them," Bai Qian cried out internally. "Di Chen, these three people know a lot of people in the academy, you guys aren''t familiar with each other and no one will help you, this time you guys might be in trouble, let''s go quickly."


    Di Chen wasn''t actually worried that he would be in trouble, he just knew that if he stayed, trouble would definitely arise. He didn''t want to cause trouble, so after leaving for a bit, he headed in the same direction as Liu Jingjing and the others.


    "They are also from Famous Sword Academy?" Li Xiu saw a few people and was startled. He did not expect to meet Di Chen and the others at this time, but Famous Sword Academy had already stopped recruiting new students, and how did the three of them join in? However, Li Xiu was not in the mood to understand all of this, because he still remembered the day when the other side crippled the martial soul.


    "So it turns out you guys are from the Famous Sword Academy." Li Xiu said with a cold smile. "I was still thinking about how I could find the three of you earlier, but now, you''ve saved me a lot of trouble."


    Liu Jingjing looked at Li Xiu with ridicule written all over his face: "Seems like you have recultivated the martial soul, but do you think you can beat me?"


    martial soul s had to start training from the moment they reached the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and now that Li Xiu''s martial soul had been destroyed, his current martial soul was tantamount to re-cultivating.


    "So what if I can''t beat him?" Li Xiu laughed coldly, "This is the Famous Sword Academy, do you think I would be stupid enough to deal with all of you by myself?"


    Following which, Li Xiu waved his hand and the ten over people immediately surrounded him. These were people from the fifth to ninth stage of Life Seizing.


    "Li Xiu, these guys are the people you were talking about earlier. They actually belong to the Famous Sword Academy."


    "This woman''s strength seems to be not bad, but the other two are simply trash. Furthermore, one of them does not have any elemental energy, how did such a person enter our Famous Sword Academy?"


    "What''s the point of saying so much, directly cripple these few people and have them scram out of our academy."


    Everyone looked at Di Chen and the rest, some of them even wanted to take action.


    If these people thought about it carefully, they would understand that the day of recruitment had already passed, but Di Chen and the rest were still able to join the Famous Sword Academy, which meant that someone recommended them, or that their identities were not ordinary, but at the moment, they clearly did not consider this point, but Yang Yu frowned, as he had already thought of this point, of the three of them, one of them did not have any Origin Energy, the other was fighting spirit, and the last was at the ninth stage. The reason why they were able to join the Famous Sword Academy was because the woman was too strong?


    Li Xiu did not rush to attack, and coldly laughed: "Before, you relied on your numbers to bully us, do you think you can still win now?"


    Liu Jingjing taunted: "The last time they fought, you were defeated by me alone. What, do you think it''s embarrassing to be defeated by me alone, that''s why you said we should bully the fewer with numbers?"


    "You ¡­" Li Xiu, who was being exposed, was so angry that he wanted to attack, while the rest of the people were about to do the same.


    Lin Tao stood up and said loudly: "What I hate the most is bullying the fewer. If you have the guts, challenge me to a duel."


    "You?" Chen He stood up, looked at Lin Tao mockingly and said, "Your cultivation does seem to have increased a little, but with this little strength of yours, you dare to be so arrogant?"


    "This guy seems to only have a life seizing triple stage right? What is a life seizing triple stage doing in our Famous Sword Academy?"


    Everyone looked at Lin Tao strangely. No one would put Lin Tao in their eyes.


    Lin Tao looked at Chen He and laughed, "How about we both have a fight?"


    Chen He sneered, "I was just thinking about how to teach you a lesson, but who would''ve thought that you''d jump out on your own. You''re the one who asked for it, so don''t bully me when the time comes."


    Previously, when Chen He was restricted by an invisible force, he thought Liu Jingjing had done it, but now he was afraid. This was also the reason why Li Xiu and the rest did not take action, but now that Lin Tao said that it was a duel, Chen He wished for nothing.


    Chen He couldn''t wait and took a step towards Lin Tao. Raising his broadsword, he swung it at Lin Tao. The others also retreated when they saw this, curiously looking at the two of them.


    "Jingjing, quickly stop them," Bai Qian did not know Lin Tao''s strength, he only knew that Chen He had attacked heavily and that he might be able to kill Lin Tao.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "It''s fine, let''s see how much Lin Tao has improved in this period of time."


    After Lin Tao broke through the Life Snatching triple stage, he had the strength to compete with someone with the power of the Five Great six stages. Although Chen He was not weak, he was probably not much stronger than Lin Tao.


    Di Chen naturally did not stop him, he knew that Lin Tao had purposely challenged him to a duel, and his goal was probably to see how much improvement he had made.


    Instead of retreating, Lin Tao advanced towards Chen He. He was prepared to face him head on with the Sky Tyrant Sword.


    "You''re courting death." When Chen He saw that Lin Tao wanted to fight him head on, he was slightly surprised, and his Origin Energy gushed out even more crazily.


    Clang!


    The two Spirit Sword clashed, and Chen He''s sword was broken into two. He felt his arm go numb, and his entire body flew backwards for more than ten meters, heavily hitting the ground. He could not stand up for a moment, while Lin Tao did not move at all.


    "So strong?" Everyone''s faces were filled with fear. Previously, everyone thought that the other party was going to suffer misfortune, but they didn''t expect that a life reaping triple stage practitioner would be able to easily defeat a person at the fifth stage of the life reaping realm!


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan had never seen Lin Tao fight before, now that they knew how strong Lin Tao was, defeating a person two levels higher than them in one move, they admitted that they did not have the ability.


    Li Xiu looked at Lin Tao in surprise and said: "I didn''t expect you to be so strong ¡­"


    Saying this, he narrowed his eyes once more, "But in the end, you''re still just using your life reaping triple stage. How many people do you think you can defeat?"


    Lin Tao frowned and said, "What, are you guys still not going to give up?"


    Li Xiu was too lazy to speak to Lin Tao, he suddenly rushed towards Lin Tao, wielding his sword he cut down, this strike even had the intent to kill.


    Liu Jingjing immediately blocked in front of Li Xiu. With two finger pointing, a powerful force pushed Li Xiu back, and said softly: "You still want me to destroy your martial soul again?"


    "Let''s attack together. I don''t believe that not so many people will be able to defeat the few of you," Li Xiu was obviously unwilling to give up. He once again charged towards Liu Jingjing, and at the same time, the rest of the people also charged towards Liu Jingjing.


    "Not good," Bai Qian cursed, and wanted to make his move.


    At this time, Liu Jingjing shouted: "You all do not need to do anything, I''m fine by myself."


    As she spoke, she tapped the center of her brows. Streaks of lightning shot out from between her eyebrows, striking towards the crowd like silver snakes.


    "Pa ¡­"


    All of them were electrocuted to the point that their skin was charred black. It was a tragic sight, but none of the dozen or so people could actually resist Liu Jingjing''s lightning martial soul, and those that were slightly weaker even fainted on the spot. In truth, this was only Liu Jingjing showing mercy, if Liu Jingjing was even more ruthless, she would be able to kill all of them.


    "So strong?" This time, Li Xiu was finally aware of Liu Jingjing''s scariness. He shouted at Yang Yu: "Yang Yu, quickly kill them all."


    Yang Yu did not immediately make a move before because he had realized that these guys were not simple. Now, he finally realised that Liu Jingjing was even more terrifying than he had imagined, he suddenly thought that it was strange for these people to join the Famous Sword Academy at this time. Could it be that someone was really recommending this girl?


    But at this time, Yang Yu could not care so much. He walked out, looked at Liu Jingjing and said: "I had previously underestimated you, let me ask you how strong you are."


    Liu Jingjing smiled and asked: "Can you defeat so many of us by yourself?"


    Yang Yu''s expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered his composure and said: "Naturally, it''s a one on one."


    Liu Jingjing taunted: "Earlier when you had more people, why didn''t you say we would fight alone? Now that I''ve defeated all these trash, you say we fight alone, don''t you think that''s laughable?"


    Yang Yu could be considered a famous person in the Famous Sword Academy, but today, he was ridiculed by Liu Jingjing in front of everyone. It was just that he knew that he couldn''t defeat five people by himself, so he couldn''t say anything.


    "If you want to challenge him alone, then do it alone." But just then, Liu Jingjing suddenly agreed to Yang Yu''s suggestion.


    Yang Yu''s mouth split into a smile, his eyes revealing a look of ridicule, if it was a 1v1, he admitted that he would not lose.

 C126

    "This is a duel between you and me, don''t regret it."


    Yang Yu pulled out the Spirit Sword in his hand. The Spirit Sword was white in color, its sword was as thin as a snake. Yang Yu stabbed out with his sword, as though the sword was actually a snake biting at him.


    Liu Jingjing moved to the side, barely dodging the attack, but in the instant she dodged, the sword actually turned and thrusted towards Liu Jingjing.


    "Not good," Liu Jingjing cried inwardly. She used her fingers as a sword, and used two fingers to intercept the sword.


    Puff!


    A powerful force rippled out from between the two of them, causing both Liu Jingjing and Yang Yu to be forced to retreat a few steps, but Liu Jingjing''s fingers were injured and blood flowed from them.


    Yang Yu laughed: "You are only the Lightning martial soul that is a little bit stronger, but just now, in order to defeat them, you had already exhausted all of the martial soul, with your current situation, I am afraid you cannot use the martial soul anymore, let''s see how you can defeat me."


    Liu Jingjing said with a face full of ridicule: "Could it be that you dare to duel with me at this time, and it looks like you want to take advantage of the time that I, the martial soul, cannot use to defeat me.


    Yang Yu said indifferently: "Whatever you say, since you are going to die today, there is no doubt about it."


    After saying that, he took another step towards Liu Jingjing, and thrusted at him with the Spirit Sword. Yang Yu''s strength was actually not too strong, but this sword was extremely strange, and was hard to guard against.


    "Jingjing, be careful, this sword is actually his martial soul." Di Chen suddenly reminded.


    "His Sword Martial Spirit?" Liu Jingjing was startled, other people''s martial soul were hidden in the center of her brows, but this was the first time she saw someone taking them into their hands. No wonder the sword was so powerful, and the sword seemed to have life, to be controlled freely by Yang Yu, it was actually a martial soul?


    and the others did not expect this, and looked at Yang Yu with astonishment. Only now did they understand why they had never seen Yang Yu use his martial soul before, and why his martial soul had always been in his hands.


    "So what if you know? I can still kill you." Yang Yu was angry that someone found out about the secret, but he was not anxious, and continued to stab with his sword.


    Liu Jingjing took a deep breath, staring at the Spirit Sword without moving. Just as the Spirit Sword pierced towards her, she twisted her body, dodging the attack.


    "It''s useless," Yang Yu laughed coldly, his Spirit Sword also changed directions, twisting his sword and thrusting at Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing turned her body again. Her body was like a rope, very soft, able to make complicated and difficult movements. She could even twist her body until she couldn''t look human anymore.


    "What kind of cultivation technique is this?" Everyone could not help but be afraid when they saw Liu Jingjing''s appearance. A single person''s body could actually be twisted to such an extent?


    "How could that be?" Yang Yu was shocked. No matter how he stabbed, he could not pierce Liu Jingjing.


    However, it was very painful when one first started to cultivate in the art of flexibility. One mistake could even cause one''s bones to deform, and after training to the age of 18, the body would slowly become more mature, and at this time, the art of gentleness would only mature a little, but it still needed to be cultivated on a daily basis. If one did not refine the technique for a whole day, it was possible that they would lose all their previous efforts, and there were not many people in Martial Region Continent who could continue to cultivate in the art of gentleness.


    "It''s my turn," Liu Jingjing once again used his fingers as a sword, two of his fingers fiercely tapped Yang Yu''s body, but Yang Yu did not dodge this time.


    Puff!


    A hole was opened up in Yang Yu''s chest, and blood sprayed in all directions. His entire person flew backwards, and heavily smashed onto the ground.


    "Impossible," Yang Yu had never been seriously injured by anyone before, and he was unwilling to give up as he shouted, "How can you defeat me?


    Yang Yu crawled up, and continued to use his sword to stab. His every move was fatal, and if he was stabbed once, it would all be fatal, but luckily Liu Jingjing''s body was nimble, Yang Yu was simply unable to stab him, and could always grab hold of the gap to injure Yang Yu. After a few tries, Yang Yu''s entire body was covered in bloody holes, and fresh blood flowed out.


    However, the burden on his body when he used the Arts was too heavy. Liu Jingjing''s body was aching, and she would not be able to use her martial arts for a while.


    "Even Yang Yu is not his opponent?" Seeing Yang Yu also losing to Liu Jingjing, everyone''s heart turned cold. Previously, these guys wanted to avoid the fight, but they were actually this strong?


    In reality, Di Chen and the others had been confident from the start, but since Di Chen had just arrived, he did not want to cause trouble, nor did he want to attract attention.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan were even more surprised, they suddenly remembered that Liu Jingjing had previously said that Di Chen was stronger than her, but if Liu Jingjing was so strong, then how powerful was Di Chen?


    Previously, the two of them wanted Di Chen and the other two to keep a low profile after entering Famous Sword Academy, but now, it seemed like there was no way for them to keep a low profile anymore with their cultivation.


    Liu Jingjing laughed as she looked at Li Xiu and the rest: "Do you still want to come back? This is your home ground, if you are not convinced, you can continue to look for people."


    "You ¡­" Li Xiu could indeed continue to look for people, but he knew that no matter how many people he looked for, it would be useless.


    "Jingjing," Di Chen shouted. "Stop laughing at them, let''s hurry up and leave."


    Liu Jingjing returned back to Di Chen''s side and laughed: "I used up a lot of energy just now, looks like I''ll have to rest for a while."


    Lin Tao laughed out loud: "Previously, Vice Principal Zhao said that there were a lot of strong warriors in the Famous Sword Academy.


    Bai Qian reminded him: "Don''t be too complacent, this Yang Yu is actually still considered an upper-middle class talent in the Famous Sword Academy. There are plenty of people in the Famous Sword Academy that are stronger than him."


    Di Chen thought that since he had come to the Famous Sword Academy, he naturally had to get a better understanding of the methods here. He curiously asked: "Then who is the strongest one?"


    Zi Yan said: "Currently, the two people with the strongest Lifestealer Realm are Senior Sister Xiang Xue and Senior Brother Hong Zhao. These two are figures that can fight one against a hundred, but they have temporarily left the Academy."


    "So strong?" Lin Tao was surprised, he looked at Di Chen and asked: "You can go one against one against a hundred?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly and shook his head, it was not because he could not, but because Di Chen did not have that much confidence, if he were to stop so many people, it would take a lot of energy, so Di Chen was not confident that he could kill all of them.


    "Xiang Xue, Hong Zhao," Di Chen remembered these two names. Scholars had a strong sixth sense, he had a nagging feeling that there would be conflicts between the two of them.


    After that, Bai Qian brought Di Chen and the others to the side courtyard, and after half an hour, arrived in front of a building, and said: "This Falling Maple Pavilion is where the teachers of the academy tend to the affairs of the school. Teacher Dongfang Yue is in the first room on the left of the fifth floor, you guys can go in, the two of us can''t go in."


    Di Chen and the other two immediately entered the Fallen Maple Pavilion, and were stopped by people just like before. Di Chen took out Zhao Fusheng''s recommendation letter, and after seeing it, the man also had a strange look on his face as he looked at Di Chen and the other two, and then allowed Di Chen to enter, Di Chen went to the fifth floor''s entrance and knocked on the door, and when he heard a "Come in" sound, Di Chen pushed open the door and entered. A forty year old middle-aged man appeared in his view, dressed in a grey robe, he was sitting cross-legged on the floor and cultivating, and that was Dongfang Yue.


    Dongfang Yue opened his eyes and was startled when he saw Di Chen and the other two. He originally thought they were academy teachers, but he didn''t expect them to be three strangers and didn''t have any school emblem on them.


    "You are?" Dongfang Yue was suspicious. He stood up and looked at the three of them curiously.


    Di Chen clasped his hands together, then handed over Zhao Fusheng''s recommendation, and said: "It''s Vice President Zhao who recommended us here."


    "Oh?" Dongfang Yue became interested, and laughed: "Earlier, Vice Principal Zhao sent a flying letter saying he recommended three people to enter the Famous Sword Academy, so it should be you guys. Logically speaking, you should have been here for a long time, why have you come only now?"


    Di Chen said: "I encountered some things on the way and was delayed, so I came late."


    Dongfang Yue casually looked at the recommendation letter, and then stared at Di Chen and said: I presume you are Di Chen, Vice Principal Zhao said that you are literati?


    Di Chen nodded his head, these things could not be concealed from these people.


    Dongfang Yue was satisfied: "I have practiced the martial arts for so many years but I have never seen literati before. You do not have any Yuan Power in your body, and I can''t really tell how strong you are, but Vice Principal Zhao said that you took first place in the Sky Realm Academy, so you must be very strong."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "That''s just because my luck isn''t bad, Sky Realm Academy and a lot of other people did not participate."


    Previously, Liu Jingjing had said that every realm of the Sky Realm Academy had secretly groomed a group of people, these people usually did not show their faces in front of others, nor would they participate in other indifferent fights, because they did not need to earn points to buy medicinal pellets, the Academy would provide them with it, they were the true experts of every realm of the Sky Realm Academy, and Di Chen did not have the qualifications to join them, even Cao Yuer who had taken the Spirit Opening Pill would not be able to do so.


    Dongfang Yue was naturally aware of this matter. In fact, there were also some direct disciples in the Famous Sword Academy, and these disciples were the true main force of the Famous Sword Academy.


    "Alright, let''s stop talking. You guys go to the Northern Courtyard. I''ve already informed them and arranged a place for them to stay."


    Dongfang Yue did not ask about Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao''s strength, and said: "Although you have entered the Famous Sword Academy, but this is not the Sky Realm Academy, if you want to raise your cultivation, you have to depend on your own abilities."


    Di Chen bowed to Dongfang Yue once again, then left Dongfang Yue''s room with him.


    This was not the first time he had seen a literati, he had been defeated by one before, but he was a little curious about what kind of level this literati could grow to, and this was the first time he was recruiting a literati.

 C127

    Lin Tao walked out of Dongfang Yue''s room and sighed: "Teacher Dongfang Yue didn''t even ask me and Jingjing about it.


    Liu Jingjing laughed indifferently: "What''s wrong with that, Famous Sword Academy is actually very suitable for your cultivation, if you have the chance to come in, you can increase your strength."


    In fact, as a literati, it was the same no matter where Di Chen went, while Liu Jingjing was not good at using the sword, it was better for him to stay in the Sky Realm Academy. Only Lin Tao knew how to use the sword, as this was a heaven for his cultivation.


    After walking into Luo Feng Pavilion, Bai Qian and Zi Yan stepped forward to welcome him.


    Bai Qian asked curiously: "What did Teacher Dongfang Yue say?"


    Di Chen said: "He wanted us to go to the Northern Courtyard, he said that he had arranged living quarters for us."


    Bai Qian said in a daze, "Is that all? Didn''t he arrange for you to be guided by your teacher? "


    Di Chen shook his head: "Isn''t this Famous Sword Academy cultivated by itself? Why would it be arranged for you to have a teacher?"


    Zi Yan explained: "For ordinary students like us, it''s naturally so, but for talented disciples, they would have teachers to personally guide them, they would cultivate together with their teachers and receive special care from the academy. With your talents being so good, logically speaking, the academy should assign a teacher for you guys."


    Di Chen was a literati, and in fact, there was no one in the academy who could guide Di Chen in his cultivation, he needed to teach himself, but Dongfang Yue did not arrange for a teacher to be assigned to Liu Jingjing, which meant that Liu Jingjing''s talent was not at the level of assigning a teacher to him alone.


    Before, Liu Jingjing was not one of those mysterious disciples in the Sky Realm Academy. The Famous Sword Academy was similar to the Sky Realm Academy, so Liu Jingjing naturally did not have the qualifications.


    After 10 minutes or so, Di Chen and the rest arrived at the northern courtyard. The northern courtyard had a row of rooms, so this was where the students lived. Bai Qian and Zi Yan lived here as well, but the students that lived here were all ordinary students.


    "In front of us is where senior apprentice-brother Kui Shan lives. She is in charge of managing this place."


    Bai Qian brought Di Chen to the front of a certain room. This room was obviously different from the others, it was bigger, and the room was filled with Spiritual Energy, so Bai Qian knocked on the door.


    Kui Shan walked out and asked curiously when she saw Bai Qian and the rest: "Bai Qian, it''s you guys, what''s the matter?"


    Bai Qian said: "Senior brother, Di Chen is a new student. Teacher Dongfang Yue asked them to come here, he said that he had already greeted you."


    Kui Shan had met Di Chen before outside the mountain, and laughed: "Teacher Dongfang Yue has already said that, you guys follow me."


    Kui Shan then brought Di Chen to the three rooms. He introduced them: "Right, living here requires money, one room for one hundred thousand gold per month."


    "What?" Lin Tao immediately exclaimed, "I previously bought a Mighty Demon Ox pill for only 100,000 taels of silver, but this room is being rented out for 100,000 taels of silver per month?"


    Kui Shan laughed. "Of course. This is the Famous Sword Academy, and there are a lot of people who want to enter here. If you can''t afford to pay the rent, you will be kicked out of the academy."


    Honestly speaking, even if Di Chen were to earn a hundred thousand taels of silver a month, it would still take a bit of time. Not to mention Lin Tao, with his cultivation, every month, he would only need to earn the rent and he would use up all of his time. How could he have the time to cultivate?


    Come to think of it, although a hundred thousand gold was a bit too much, it was still a way to motivate the students. This was also why Famous Sword Academy had so many private fights in order to earn money.


    Liu Jingjing thought for a while and said: "Then, can we take two rooms?"


    Kui Shan nodded. "It''s fine even if the three of you live in one room. Actually, many people in the academy live in one room. However, you know that this isn''t good for training. It doesn''t matter if you know each other. But why do you only have two rooms?"


    Cultivators would need to protect their own secrets, living in the same room as others to expose their own secrets, which was fatal for warriors, and the process of training should not be disturbed by others, otherwise it would be very dangerous, so under normal circumstances warriors would only live alone, but there was no helping it, the rent of the Famous Sword Academy''s room was too expensive, so many people had to bite the bullet and live together, to be careful of them, but Di Chen and the other two knew each other, so they did not need to worry about exposing their own secrets.


    Liu Jingjing said: "I will sleep with Di Chen, and Lin Tao will sleep alone."


    "Huh?" Di Chen originally thought that Liu Jingjing would like to stay in a room by herself, but he didn''t expect Liu Jingjing to actually want to stay in a room with him, leaving Lin Tao to live in alone.


    Di Chen had a strange expression on his face as he said: "Jingjing, this isn''t good, how can you live in the same room as me?"


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Didn''t you like reading and writing? I can help you grind ink in the future, didn''t you say you wanted me to replace Qin Suer when we were in mountain?"


    "But ¡­" At that time, Di Chen was also joking. He was a person who had a fiancee after all, so it did not seem appropriate for him to live with Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing did not give Di Chen a chance to object and said: "I''m not even afraid of what you''re afraid of, it''s decided then."


    Seeing that Liu Jingjing was adamant, Di Chen kept his words.


    Lin Tao shook his head, how could he not understand Liu Jingjing''s thoughts. Earlier, Qin Suer did not make him worry for Shang Yu, but now, Liu Jingjing had made him worry for Shang Yu.


    Bai Qian, Zi Yan and the others could all see that, and smiled slightly. They did not know that Di Chen actually had a fiancee, but they thought that Liu Jingjing and Di Chen were rather suitable.


    Afterwards, Kui Shan arranged two rooms for Di Chen and the other two. Lin Tao would be living in one room, while Liu Jingjing and Di Chen would be living in another. Kui Shan took care of Di Chen, and gave him a slightly larger room.


    "Then you guys rest, I won''t disturb you guys anymore," Kui Shan didn''t linger either, and left after arranging for Di Chen and the other two to rest.


    Bai Qian also said, "Zi Yan and I will be going back as well. If you need anything, you can look for us."


    "Alright," Di Chen said gratefully. Thanks to Bai Qian and Zi Yan, otherwise, Di Chen would have met with many troubles in the past two days.


    Zi Yan reminded them: "Our Famous Sword Academy does not prohibit private duels, the three of you are new students, many people in the academy like to bully new students, you guys should be careful, but as long as you guys do not come out, private duels are prohibited here."


    The Famous Sword Academy would have a signboard that would indicate where the private dueling area was. After the private dueling area was over, the academy would ignore the fights between the disciples, but of course, they could not overdo it, as it was different from the Sky Realm Academy.


    Di Chen understood what the Famous Sword Academy had to pay attention to and said after Bai Qian and Zi Yan left: "Jingjing, do you feel that Bai Qian and Zi Yan are not normal people?"


    Lin Tao had a puzzled expression on his face. "The two of them are only at the ninth level of Life Seizing. However, they are still quite passionate. Why are they not ordinary?"


    Liu Jingjing also had a serious look on her face: At first, I thought that their strengths were average, but that time in Shuiyue Workshop, I suddenly felt that Zi Yan''s body had a huge amount of spirit energy, compared to the spirit energy she released previously, it was much stronger! If the three of us were not there in time, I''m afraid Zi Yan would have killed them, but after seeing us, she retracted her spirit energy.


    Lin Tao had a strange look on his face as he said: "But previously, when we met them, Bai Qian even lost an arm, that must not be a lie."


    "No," Liu Jingjing shook her head. "That day Bai Qian said that he didn''t know there was a coyote King there, but I actually thought that it was a little strange at first, that those ordinary coyote wouldn''t have been able to injure them so heavily like that. Now that I think about it, they probably already fought with the coyote King before we went there, and Bai Qian''s arm was bitten off by the coyote King."


    Lin Tao exclaimed, he thought to himself how strong were these two people if they could actually escape from the mouth of the coyote King?


    Di Chen suddenly realised, no wonder the coyote King had been chasing after him all this time, it seemed like they had been agitated by the Wolf King before, these two must have been deliberately hiding their abilities, but looking at the appearances of Li Xiu and the rest, it seemed that they did not know that these two were strong, Di Chen suddenly thought that the Famous Sword Academy had a group of hidden disciples, and these disciples were heirs of some teachers, he thought that these two people could be them?


    Sky Realm Academy''s mysterious students did not show themselves often, but Famous Sword Academy''s group of students were hiding amongst the ordinary students.


    Di Chen couldn''t figure it out at the moment, and was too lazy to think about it too much either. "Forget about them, just don''t interact with these people too much in the future, just try to break through the Martial King Realm as soon as possible."


    Currently, Di Chen was on the verge of breaking through to a new realm, so no matter how strong these Lifestealer Realm users were, they would not be able to threaten Di Chen.


    Liu Jingjing thought that the Famous Sword Academy must be extraordinary as well. There were too many strong warriors hidden here and she had to break through to Martial King as soon as possible.


    After that, Lin Tao returned to his room to cultivate. Liu Jingjing had just used a gentle technique to injure her body, so she needed a period of time to recuperate. Di Chen took out the¡¶ Life Theory¡· and started reading it, he faintly felt that this book could help him break through into the King Wen.


    "Hmm?" At this time, Di Chen suddenly saw the Myriad Ancient Token in his hands light up, this was the Eternal Gate''s token, Yu Xuanji had said that if he wanted to find Di Chen one day, she would use this token to find Di Chen.


    Di Chen thought to himself: "I wonder why she''s looking for me."


    He immediately bit his finger and dripped a drop of his blood on the Eternal Token, then his body suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Eternal Gate in the next moment. Eternal Gate was still in subterranean, but Yu Xuanji had said that the location of the Eternal Gate had changed and no one would be able to find him.


    When Di Chen arrived at Yu Xuanji''s secret room, he had already become a living person. When she saw Di Chen, she immediately frowned.

 C128

    "Why are you only at the ninth level of Life Seizing, and the cultivation of a scholar at the ninth level of the Scholar Realm?"


    When Yu Xuanji saw Di Chen''s cultivation, he instantly became furious. "Why are your cultivation speed so slow?"


    In fact, Di Chen''s cultivation speed was not slow, but Di Chen was a very talented person. As a warrior, he had Pearl of Life, he could absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood to increase his cultivation, and this was faster than normal warriors. As a scholar, Di Chen took a lot of books from the Eternal Gate, so it was reasonable to say that Di Chen should have already broken through to the realm of a Martial King and King Wen, but his cultivation level was too far from what Yu Xuanji had imagined, so Yu Xuanji would definitely be angry.


    When Di Chen was in Sky Realm Academy, he spent too much time buying the Sky Evolution Brush. In this period of time, he had travelled to Famous Sword Academy and trained for relatively less time, which was why his cultivation level had not increased.


    Yu Xuanji said angrily, "You are the new Sect Leader of the Eternal Gate. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to have failed to raise your cultivation?"


    Di Chen asked with doubt: "What''s the danger?"


    Yu Xuanji said with a serious look on his face: I have previously said that in the ancient times, there were ten great sects, and they would appear again sooner or later. Now, besides our Eternal Gate, there is also the appearance of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, and as far as I know, the Shanghai Sword Pavilion has a new successor. You have to raise your cultivation as much as possible before this person finds you, and if possible, it would be best to kill him.


    Although the top ten sects of the Primordial Era were destroyed, there would still be some survivors. All these people wanted to rebuild their sect, but the competition between these sects was extremely fierce, any sect would want to eliminate the other sects, if the successor of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion knew Di Chen''s identity, he would definitely come to kill him.


    "Kill me?" Di Chen had always been excited that he was the heir to the Eternal Gate, but now that he knew that he was in such great danger, why would the heirs of other sects actually kill him?


    But then again, since the heirs of the other sects would kill him, then wouldn''t he also have the task of killing the heirs of the other sects as well?


    Di Chen anxiously asked: "Then what is the name of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion''s successor, where is she now?"


    Yu Xuanji shook his head and said, "I just faintly sensed that the Shanghai Sword Pavilion had already reappeared, and that they have a new successor. But I don''t know who it is or where, so the successor to the Shanghai Sword Pavilion must know of your existence.


    Currently, Di Chen did not know the cultivation of that person, it could be that he was just an ordinary warrior, or a martial king, or even Martial Saint. It would be better if he was weaker than Di Chen, but if he was stronger than Di Chen, the consequences would be dire.


    "I believe that person will find you sooner or later. Tell me, if your current cultivation is discovered by him, how should you deal with him?"


    Yu Xuanji shouted angrily, "Furthermore, not only will the other eight sects reappear in the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, you still have time to waste here?"


    "This ¡­" Di Chen was speechless. He really did not think that he was always in danger, not to mention that he had previously wanted to travel all over the place.


    She looked at Di Chen and said: "For this period of time, stay here and cultivate. If your cultivation has not reached the level that I am satisfied with, I will not let you out."


    Di Chen let out a pained cry, "But every time you remove the seal, it only lasted for a short period of time, and after that, you would be imprinted with a fairly long period of time. If I don''t reach a satisfactory level during this period of time, won''t I be unable to leave for a very long time?"


    Yu Xuanji could only appear for a few days at most, and then he would be sealed inside the stone. From Yu Xuanji''s perspective, if Di Chen had not cultivated to her satisfaction during the period of time she had unsealed the seal, she would not have allowed him to leave.


    Yu Xuanji said coldly, "You only have five days, after five days I will be sealed again. It would be best for you to reach my satisfaction within these five days."


    Di Chen didn''t dare to say more. If he didn''t reach her satisfaction within five days, the next time he would have the chance to leave would be in half a year.


    Half a year later, how many things had happened outside?


    The realm of the warrior required the absorption of Demonic beast flesh and blood, so Di Chen had no way of breaking through, I''m afraid it would be difficult to level up, he could only level up to become a scholar, he quickly took out his¡¶ Life Theory¡· and started to study it.


    This was a very mysterious book, allowing Di Chen to understand how to see a person''s HP. He could integrate the power of a scholar into the person''s HP, and shorten the person''s HP.


    "Let me try," Di Chen took out a copper realm cultivator, his eyes flashing with black light, then seeing a thin line on top of his head, this was Di Chen''s HP. He merged the power of a scholar into his HP, he realised that the power of a scholar could indeed erase that portion of his HP, according to normal circumstances, Di Chen could have lived for a hundred years, but Di Chen had erased a small section of his HP just now, reducing it by five years.


    Di Chen thought. He had never tried to erase someone''s HP before, today was his first time trying it out, he never expected to succeed.


    Although Di Chen would only reduce a person''s HP by a little, he wouldn''t be able to figure out how to extend their HP by that much.


    Di Chen merged the power of a scholar into his HP once again, but he found that his HP did not increase at all. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to succeed.


    "What''s going on?" Di Chen thought to himself, if a person''s HP could not be extended, then wouldn''t he be wasting the last five years?


    He inherited and flipped through < Destiny >, which Di Chen had read many times already. This book said that the total value of all life was a fixed number, and it would be distributed to every single person as much as possible. He had just lost five years of his HP, so logically, these five years should have been absorbed into the lives of others, but where did these five years go?


    The next few days, Di Chen kept on researching on how to increase a person''s HP. Unfortunately, Di Chen did not have any breakthroughs, he discovered that he could only erase a person''s life, but could not increase his lifespan. To be more precise, Di Chen felt that there was an invisible force preventing him from extending his life, and with his current cultivation, he was unable to resist the force.


    But in the end, what kind of power was this?


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly thought of Yu Gui Shi''s < Destiny >. The book said that there was a destiny in the world, that the heavens decided everything, that a person''s lifespan was determined by the heavens themselves. Could it be that the heavens were stopping him?


    "It''s the heavens again?" Di Chen suddenly realised that many of the ancient books he had read had to do with the concept of "heaven". The "Source of All Laws", "Destiny", "Destiny" and other books had to do with the so-called "heaven", but what exactly was "heaven"?


    Di Chen couldn''t understand it at the moment, so he didn''t think too much into it. He put the¡¶ Life Theory¡· down and thought to himself that he could only cultivate it to this extent for the time being.


    "Being able to reduce a person''s HP, but not being able to extend a person''s HP," Di Chen thought to himself, as if he understood the situation, for example, if a person was able to live up to 100 years old, being killed at the age of 80 would be equivalent to reducing his lifespan by 20 years, which was something anyone could do. Although his method of shortening another person''s lifespan was different, it was essentially the same.


    Suddenly!


    Di Chen remembered this feeling. This was the power of a scholar, it was the first time Di Chen had felt such a strong power coming from a scholar.


    The power of the scholars gushed into Di Chen''s mind, as if he was enlightened. Di Chen discovered that his cultivation as a scholar was rising rapidly, but very quickly, he reached a barrier, which was like a membrane. He could feel that as long as he broke through this barrier, he would be able to break through the realm of King Wen, but he would never be able to break through this barrier.


    "Forget it," Di Chen did not insist on breaking through King Wen. literati was different from martial artists, literati saw opportunities, and sometimes, when an opportunity presented itself, one could break through, maybe one would be able to write and would even be able to break through.


    "This Di Chen really is talented, to actually know such a magical technique," Yu Xuanji was a little surprised in his heart. Previously, she had personally witnessed Di Chen erasing his own life force, but this was the first time she had seen such a mystical technique. She knew that Di Chen had tried to extend his life before, but Yu Xuanji clearly knew that was impossible.


    Di Chen let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "I still haven''t broken through to King Wen."


    Yu Xuanji laughed: A warrior can forcefully break through, but a scholar cannot. After you cultivate to this level, you can break through the King Wen at any time.


    Di Chen was overjoyed: Then does that mean I can leave this place now?


    Yu Xuanji smiled and nodded: "You are Sect Leader''s Sect Leader, of course I cannot keep you locked here forever. Remember, be careful in the future, the successor to Shanghai Sword Pavilion will definitely be searching for you everywhere, if he finds out about this, he will definitely kill you."


    Di Chen felt a headache thinking about how he had such a mysterious enemy, he did not know what realm he was in, if it was a little lower than him, maybe he could kill him, but if he was stronger than, then it would be troublesome, but the key point was, Yu Xuanji said that the other eight sects would continue to have people appear.


    Di Chen thought that he could only take things one step at a time. Who asked him to agree to Yu Xuanji''s conditions and not only did he not get any benefits, he even had a few more enemies. He did not know if it was worth it.


    Two days later, Di Chen left the Eternal Gate. Although Di Chen did not manage to break through the King Wen, Yu Xuanji was satisfied with his progress, and silently erased the value of a person''s body, even if it was himself, he would not be able to do so.

 C129

    Di Chen cultivated in the Eternal Gate for a few days before coming out. When he returned to his room, he found Liu Jingjing waiting for him.


    When Liu Jingjing saw Di Chen, she asked anxiously, "Where have you been all this time?"


    Only then did Di Chen remember that he had never told Liu Jingjing that he was the successor of the Eternal Gate. Originally, he wanted to say it out, but after hesitating for a while, he decided not to say it out loud.


    "He went to cultivate," Di Chen casually explained.


    Liu Jingjing knew that Di Chen must have definitely been hiding something from his, and his eyes flashed gloomily, feeling a little sad, but she did not say anything more, he thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow, there will be a big lesson in the academy, at that time, there will be a teacher of the Martial Saint s who will personally give guidance, will we go and listen too?"


    Previously, Bai Qian had said that the Famous Sword Academy would arrange such a class every once in a while, and the teacher would personally guide everyone.


    Di Chen was a literati, so he actually didn''t need to attend such a class. However, after thinking about it, he nodded his head. He could tell that Liu Jingjing wanted to go, so he decided to accompany him.


    Liu Jingjing giggled: "That''s great, I''m not far from the Martial King Realm, I can breakthrough at any time, now I''m just missing a sliver of opportunity."


    If Di Chen wanted to break through his Martial King Realm, he would need to absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood. He thought to himself that once he broke through the King Wen, he would go hunting for the Demonic King.


    Just then, Lin Tao walked in, for the past few days Lin Tao had been training, and what surprised Di Chen was that Lin Tao had already broken through to the fourth stage of Life Seizing Stage, his cultivation speed was actually no slower than Di Chen''s, and he did not know why he was training so quickly.


    "Your strength has improved again," Di Chen looked at Lin Tao in surprise. He thought that in a short while, he would probably break through to the ninth stage of Life Seizing Stage.


    Lin Tao laughed out loud, "Ever since my meridians recovered, my cultivation speed has increased a lot. I don''t know why, but it''s as if this Heaven''s Tyrant Sword is constantly absorbing elemental energy for me."


    Di Chen thought that the Tyrant Sky Sword was something that belonged to the Eternal Gate, so it was actually quite normal for it to be this mystical. However, Di Chen did not know where the Tyrant Sky Sword came from, and thought that he would ask Yu Xuanji about it in the future.


    "Who knows which teacher will take a fancy to you tomorrow?" Di Chen laughed.


    Lin Tao said indifferently, "Jingjing is much stronger than me, and I only rely on this sword. The teachers do not think highly of those who rely on external forces, but I still prefer a more free cultivation method."


    Di Chen, Lin Tao and Liu Jingjing all had their own secrets, but actually, it was not a good thing to train alone with the teachers. It was faster to train by yourself, and furthermore, the disciples that the teachers took in might not even be comparable to Liu Jingjing.


    On this day, Di Chen did not cultivate anymore, but to write and copy books, trying his best to increase his literary power. Liu Jingjing also did not cultivate, so she helped Di Chen grind the ink, and did what she had done previously.


    The second day!


    Bai Qian then came to Di Chen, and said: "Today is Famous Sword Academy''s monthly great lesson, I will bring you all over."


    Last time, Di Chen felt that this Bai Qian was not simple, it was just that Bai Qian had always been a Lifestealer Realm cultivator, and Di Chen did not see anything special about his, but regardless of whether or not he had hidden her true strength, it was not important to Di Chen, as he could very quickly break through the realm of King Wen.


    The few of them arrived at the southern side of Famous Sword Academy. There were rows and rows of large dojos, with different dojos for different realms. These dojos were where the teachers would guide the students.


    Di Chen noticed that many people were excited as they entered the martial grounds. It seemed that they had waited a long time for this day.


    "Jingjing, you''d better be careful in a bit." Zi Yan suddenly reminded Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing asked with a puzzled expression: "What''s wrong?"


    Zi Yan explained, "You have been training during this period of time, and may not know this, but the matter of you defeating Yang Yu and the others a while ago has already spread. Now, many people in the academy know that a powerful new student has come to the academy to challenge you, and this kind of great lesson, other than being guided by teacher, will also be challenged by students. However, this kind of challenge is very dangerous, and can easily cause someone to lose their lives.


    In fact, the news of Liu Jingjing had already spread throughout the academy, and because of Li Xiu, he knew that he couldn''t win against him, so he started to brag about Liu Jingjing, attracting a group of people who wanted to challenge him. It was just that Liu Jing didn''t know about it.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "It''s fine, it''s good as long as I reject."


    The few of them entered the training grounds. The training grounds were very big, and were filled with students, all of them discussing excitedly, it seemed like they were preparing to break through their current realm today, and at the front of the training grounds were over a dozen teachers. These people were all experts of Martial Saint, including Dongfang Yue.


    Usually, these teachers would not instruct these students, and it was only on such a special day that these teachers would patiently answer these students'' questions. These students would naturally seize every opportunity to ask these teachers.


    Liu Jingjing said: "This teaching method is completely different from Sky Realm Academy."


    Di Chen said: "Every teacher in the Sky Realm Academy instructs a class, and you cannot take care of everyone. The advancement is in terms of the overall strength of the students, but the growth of the Famous Sword Academy is usually in terms of individual strength."


    In fact, there were good and bad aspects to the teaching methods of Famous Sword Academy and Sky Realm Academy, if there were any students who could not understand them, they could ask their instructors at any time, but in Famous Sword Academy, there was no teacher who could understand you, and only one chance every month to answer their questions. But, it was normal for them to value this chance, but in reality, the students who would be here were not the most talented students of Famous Sword Academy, Bai Qian had already said that there were some mysteries about Famous Sword Academy, and these students were the direct disciples of the teachers, they were the strongest existences in Famous Sword Academy.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly realized that a gaze filled with hostility was staring straight at him, turning around to look, it was Yang Yu.


    Di Chen snuggled close to Liu Jingjing''s ear and laughed: "Looks like he still wants to kill you."


    Liu Jingjing said indifferently: "I''m just a bit away from Martial King Realm, he was defeated by me, the martial soul also injured his consciousness, and is of no threat to me."


    Lin Tao laughed: "This Yang Yu''s talent is actually only so-so. Once I break through to the seventh stage of Life Seizing, even I will be able to defeat him."


    If it was the past, Lin Tao would not say such words, but now, he was confident that he could surpass Yang Yu.


    Other than Yang Yu, Li Xiu and the rest all had looks of hatred on their faces. At this time, Li Xiu walked over to the few of them, pointed at Di Chen and whispered a few words into their ears, and those few people immediately looked at Di Chen, and laughed as they walked over.


    "Di Chen," Liu Jingjing reminded. "What should we do? If we fight anyone, it will definitely attract the attention of others."


    "Don''t worry," Di Chen laughed, and wrote the word "fix" in the air with a simple point of his finger. This "fix" was invisible and no one could see it, and just as that person was walking towards Di Chen, his body suddenly stopped, as if he was restricted by an invisible force, and his expression instantly changed.


    Di Chen smiled at that man, then retracted his power as a scholar, that man dared not come over, and immediately retreated.


    All of this happened in an instant, and naturally, no one noticed it.


    "Yi," Right at this time, Di Chen suddenly saw a familiar person, his eyes opened wide: "What a coincidence, I never thought that he was also from Famous Sword Academy, no wonder he dared to be so arrogant."


    Liu Jingjing looked over to where Di Chen was looking at, and saw that Li Yuan was slightly startled: "It really is the narrow path between enemies."


    Bai Qian heard this and found it strange: "Jingjing, Di Chen, you know Li Yuan?"


    Lin Tao explained, "We don''t know each other, but there were some conflicts. Earlier, this guy and two other people went to kill an ordinary villager, but we found them and killed them."


    "What?" Zi Yan said angrily: "I know that this Li Yuan is very vicious, but he actually killed ordinary villagers. Isn''t this too much?


    The Martial Region Continent had an unwritten rule: Ordinary warriors could still be considered normal villagers, but once their cultivation broke through Lifestealer Realm, they were not normal people. Killing ordinary villagers was a huge crime, and even the Devil Dao would not easily kill ordinary villagers.


    Bai Qian suddenly thought of something, and said: "A while ago, two of my students were killed, one was called Fang Hao and the other was called Xiang Ling. The two of them had a good relationship with Li Yuan, could it be that you were the ones who killed them?"


    "Xiang Ling, Fang Hao?" Di Chen raised his brows: "They seem to be called this name, I can''t really remember."


    Bai Qian''s face changed as he said, "Di Chen, you guys are finished. Look at the two people beside Li Yuan, they are Hong Zhao and Xiang Xue, the ones I told you about before. These two are the strongest out of the Lifestealer Realm, at least among the students who are often walking around outside.


    "That''s right," Zi Yan said worriedly as well, "I think it''s better if you guys hide for a bit. If they see you, they will definitely take revenge.


    Di Chen followed their gazes and looked over. They were the focus of tens of thousands of eyes, and everyone was looking at the two of them enviously, they were discussing among themselves and from their tone, one could tell that the two of them were not weak.


    Liu Jingjing suddenly remembered that Bai Qian had said that these two guys could fight one against a hundred. Liu Jingjing admitted that she did not have the strength, but she was not afraid, and laughed: "It''s fine."


    Bai Qian saw that Liu Jingjing actually didn''t care and said: "Jingjing, I don''t know how terrifying this Xiang Xue is, but you really are in danger."


    Liu Jingjing pointed to Di Chen and said: "There''s Di Chen."


    He could tell that Liu Jingjing was very confident in Di Chen.


    Bai Qian originally wanted to advise his against it, but thinking that Di Chen could even hold it in for a while, he kept his words. He thought that with Di Chen''s strength, he might be able to go head to head with Xiang Xue.

 C130

    There were a dozen or so teachers in front, the leader of them was Dongfang Yue, and beside Dongfang Yue was a man and a woman, the man''s name was Nian Bai, the woman''s name was Xun Qin, he was a famous teacher in Famous Sword Academy.


    Dongfang Yue looked at Hong Zhao and Xiang Xue and laughed: "Actually, the two of them have pretty good innate skills. Amongst this group of disciples, only the two of them are the strongest, so being able to properly teach and be comparable to the disciples you have taken in, and also because these two cultivation techniques are very similar to yours, have you considered taking them as your disciples?"


    Nian BIng looked curiously at Hong Zhao. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. "Hong Zhao''s talent is not bad, but it is still lacking compared to what I imagined."


    Xun Qin also shook her head and laughed: "Xiang Xue''s killing intent is too strong. This kind of fighting against my cultivation technique is not suitable for me to teach her.


    "Oh?" Dongfang Yue seemed to be looking at a middle-aged man in the distance. That man was looking at Xiang Xue, and I could tell that he actually had a good impression of her, hence he smiled and said, "Shu Nan''s killing intent is heavy, and his temper is bad. He is indeed suitable to teach Xiang Xue, but from the looks of it, he seems to not have made up his mind yet."


    Nian Bai smiled. "Among us, only Shu Nan didn''t accept disciples. His requirements are very high, and although Xiang Xue''s personality is very good, her cultivation technique isn''t suitable. Therefore, he hasn''t made up his mind. If he sees something more suitable, he''ll change his mind."


    Xun Qin shook her head: "Currently, the strongest out of these disciples are Xiao Xiang Xue and Hong Zhao. If he doesn''t choose between them, then he doesn''t have a choice either."


    The strongest among the Lifestealer Realm disciples were naturally Hong Zhao and Xiang Xue. The other disciples were not inferior to the two of them by even a little, but the two of them had already barely obtained the requirements to be accepted as direct disciples.


    Dongfang Yue thought that this might not be the case. His gaze swept across the crowd, and in the end, looked at Di Chen and the other two, thinking that since Zhao Fusheng valued this person greatly, this meant that this person''s Inherent Skill must be very strong. Adding that he was a literati, he wondered how he compared to the other direct disciples.


    Bang!


    At this moment, the sound of a battle came from afar. Everyone looked over and saw that Xiang Xue was surrounded by five or six ninth stage Life Seizing cultivators. These people actually wanted to deal with Xiang Xue alone.


    The few people rushed at Xiang Xue at the same time, and Xiang Xue pulled out her Spirit Sword. With a tap of her sword, the six sword images respectively rushed at those people.


    When...


    The sound of metal clashing rang out, and those people''s flying swords were all cut off. They were also sent flying, and could not even stand up for a while while while lying on the ground.


    Xiang Xue defeated all six of them in one move.


    "So powerful, as expected of the number one in Lifestealer Realm."


    "This is nothing, with his true strength, even if he had more Lifestealer Realm, he still wouldn''t be his match. She was merciful just now, I think she''s about to break through her Martial King Realm."


    Exclamations of shock and envy filled the air as they looked at Xiang Xue. No one dared to challenge her again.


    Dongfang Yue, Nian Bai, and the others seemed to have thought of this outcome long ago. They could not help but smile, thinking that Xiang Xue was indeed different.


    From afar, Shu Nan also nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with Xiang Xue''s previous performance. It seemed that she wanted to take her in as a disciple.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan was originally concerned about Xiang Xue, but he suddenly saw that there were a few familiar people in the crowd, and was shocked: "These guys are also from Famous Sword Academy?"


    These people were naturally Di Chen and the others!


    Ever since Xiang Ling had been killed, Li Yuan had always been searching for Di Chen and the others. But the Youzhou City was too big, searching for a person was as easy as searching for a needle in a haystack. Li Yuan even had the intention to give up, but he didn''t expect to see these people here.


    "Senior Sister Xiang Xue, Senior Brother Hong Zhao," Li Yuan pointed at Di Chen and the others and said fiercely, "They are the ones who killed Xiang Ling."


    "They?" Xiang Xue looked at Di Chen and the other two, her gaze turning cold, she immediately picked up her sword and walked towards Di Chen and the other two.


    Hong Zhao quickly pulled Xiang Xue along. "Xiang Xue, we''ll talk about it another day. It''s not good to take revenge today. It''s not good for those teachers to see."


    The reason that Hong Zhao stopped Xiang Xue was because this was originally Xiang Ling and the rest''s fault, killing normal villagers was a huge crime, if you went to take revenge, you would be working with them, furthermore Xiang Xue had killed many ordinary villagers previously, if the Academy knew about it, they would probably blame the academy.


    Xiang Xue immediately waved her big hand, and snorted, "I said that I don''t care about the cause of this matter, I only know that these people killed Xiang Ling. They deserve to die.


    Hong Zhao originally wanted to say something, but when he saw killing intent in Xiang Xue''s eyes, he immediately retracted her words. He knew that if she continued speaking, Xiang Xue might really kill him.


    Everyone''s gaze followed Xiang Xue''s movements, even those teachers were no exception. Curiosity was forbidden to see her walking towards Di Chen, and anyone could tell that Xiang Xue had a murderous intent.


    "Who are these guys? I don''t think I''ve seen them before. Are they new students?"


    Didn''t I hear that a new person came to the academy a while ago and defeated Yang Yu and the others with his own strength?


    "Looks like these people are quite powerful. Xiang Xue seems to want to kill them. No wonder Xiang Xue has enmity with them?"


    "I heard that Xiang Xue''s sister Xiang Ling was killed outside, could it be that they did it, so Xiang Xue wants to take revenge now?"


    Everyone was curiously discussing!


    Everyone had guessed that Xiang Ling was killed, but looking at how Xiang Xue was now, it was not too far off from the truth.


    However, Yang Yu''s group of people could only be considered average within the Famous Sword Academy, and there were many who had not even reached the ninth stage yet. It was not like defeating a strong warrior, but Xiang Xue was different, she had already defeated six people at the same realm just now, and her decision was clear, everyone thought that if Xiang Xue went to kill these few people, they would be done for.


    Dongfang Yue did not expect Xiang Xue to look for trouble with Di Chen and the rest, so he did not stop her. Instead, he looked over curiously.


    "Who are they?" It was the first time that Nian Bai had seen Di Chen and the other two, so he asked curiously, "The new disciples that the academy has accepted?"


    Xun Qin thought for a while and said, "I heard that a few freshmen came to the academy a while ago and defeated a dozen or so students by themselves. Among them, there are a few who were at the ninth stage of Life Seizing.


    "Freshmen?" He smiled and said, "One of these three new disciples does not have elemental energy, but one is at the fourth stage of Life Seizing. How did the two of them enter the academy was interesting, but that woman''s cultivation is at the ninth stage of Life Seizing, and the elemental energy in her body is strong. It seems like she is not weak at all, since when did the academy accept new disciples?"


    Logically speaking, Di Chen and Lin Tao did not have the qualifications to enter the Famous Sword Academy, but they were both in the Academy, so a few of them were curious.


    Dongfang Yue laughed: "I''ll keep you guys in suspense first, you guys just need to watch. In a while, something unexpected will happen."


    Niu Bai and Xun Qin became more curious hearing Dongfang Yue''s words. Could it be that there was something else they did not know?


    Bai Qian saw Xiang Xue walking over, and his face changed. "She must be here to kill you two.


    Lin Tao shrugged his shoulders and replied, "They''ve already found out where we can go. We''ll have to face them sooner or later anyway, what''s there to be afraid of?"


    Zi Yan said anxiously, "You guys have also seen how terrifying this Xiang Xue is. She could have defeated six people at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Stage in one strike, but she had not even used a third of her strength just now."


    "So strong?" Liu Jingjing was also interested, and laughed: "Then I even more so cannot leave."


    Lin Tao laughed, "Yes, we can''t avoid this disaster. What''s there to be afraid of?"


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan were both drenched in cold sweat but Liu Jingjing did not care from start to finish.


    At this time, Xiang Xue walked in front of Liu Jingjing and the other two. Her gaze landed on Liu Jingjing as she said in a low voice, "You''re the one who killed my sister."


    "Your sister?" Liu Jingjing laughed: "Is it that woman who used the Lightning martial soul, I killed that person, and even stole her martial soul, is it your sister?"


    Xiang Xue obviously knew that Liu Jingjing had stolen Xiang Ling''s martial soul, but she never thought that he would actually dare to say it out in front of her, with a provocative tone.


    After saying that, she rushed towards Liu Jingjing, the Spirit Sword stabbed forward, with a tricky angle, it would be hard to dodge.


    Liu Jingjing''s body twisted, and this kind of extremely difficult maneuver was not something an ordinary person could do. She safely dodged Xiang Xue''s sword, and then used her finger as a sword to point towards her.


    "Hmm?" Xiang Xue didn''t think that Liu Jingjing would actually be able to dodge her attack so easily. She wasn''t able to dodge Liu Jingjing''s attack for a while, so she was forced to take a few steps back.


    Although it was a simple strike, Liu Jingjing''s strength could be seen.


    "Yi, this new disciple has quite the strength." Everyone was curious to see this scene. To be able to push back Xiang Xue meant that this person wasn''t weak. Many disciples in the academy were unable to withstand one of Xiang Xue''s attacks.


    ''s and Nian Bai''s eyes lit up. Dongfang Yue was even more curious, he thought that the one who would make a move would be Di Chen, but he never expected that it would be Liu Jingjing, and it seemed that this woman was not weak either. Zhao Fusheng''s recommendation letter said that Di Chen was a literati, and he strongly wanted Di Chen to join the Famous Sword Academy, which was why he let the other two enter the academy along with him.


    "You have some strength. I want to see how you are going to block this move of mine." Xiang Xue played with her sword, and with a tap of her sword tip, six sword Qis shot towards Liu Jingjing.


    This was Xiang Xue''s most powerful move. Her signature move was six streams of sword Qis. Each strike contained six streams of sword Qis, no more, no less. Any one of these sword Qis could kill a ninth level Life Seizing Cultivator.

 C131

    Seeing that the six streams of Sword Qi were not ordinary, Liu Jingjing immediately retreated, and at the same time, pointed her two fingers, releasing Sword Qi towards the six streams of Sword Qi.


    Bang


    A series of explosions rang out as the sword Qis of the two of them simultaneously collapsed. At the same time, ripples spread out and directly flipped the crowd over.


    "It can actually block my six sword Qis?" Xiang Xue was a little surprised, she continued to release her six Sword Qis, while Liu Jingjing did not show any signs of weakness, clashing head on with her Sword Qi, the Sword Qi exploded towards each other, the two of them clashed multiple times, and surprisingly did not win against one another.


    This scene caused everyone to be shocked. This was the first time they had seen someone who could fight Xiang Xue to a standstill.


    Xiang Xue saw that the normal moves were unable to kill Liu Jingjing, so she pointed between her eyebrows again, and a sword image shot out. The sword image was black like a roaring demonic beast, it was Xiang Xue''s martial soul.


    Just at this moment when she was retreating, the Sword Martial Spirit shot towards her original location. With a loud explosion, a ripple overturned Liu Jingjing and she spat out a mouthful of blood as she cried out in shock, "What a powerful martial soul!"


    "It seems like you''re just so-so," Xiang Xue laughed coldly, taking advantage of the victory to pursue her. Sword Martial Spirit continued to shoot forward.


    "This new student is finished. Xiang Xue''s Sword Martial Spirit is the strongest amongst us."


    Seeing this, everyone immediately gave Liu Jingjing the death sentence. Right now, there were only a few people who could resist Xiang Xue''s Sword Martial Spirit.


    Liu Jingjing hurriedly tapped the center of her brows and streaks of silver white lightning shot towards the Sword Martial Spirit. At the start, lightning strikes did not seem to have any effect on the Sword Martial Spirit, but after a few bolts of lightning, the Sword Martial Spirit seemed to be unable to endure it and faintly felt the possibility of collapsing.


    "Lightning martial soul?" The majority of the students in the Famous Sword Academy were all Sword Martial Spirit s, followed by demonic beast s. Naturally, there were very few of them, so this was not the first time everyone had seen a Lightning martial soul. Xiang Xue''s sister Xiang Ling was one of them, but this was the first time everyone had seen such a powerful Lightning martial soul.


    Xiang Xue''s expression changed as she hurriedly retracted her Sword Martial Spirit. She said in shock, "You stole Xiang Ling from her, how could you be so powerful?"


    Most martial soul that were snatched away would need a long time of cultivation before they could display their true power, but Xiang Ling had died not long ago. It was reasonable to say that her opponent''s lightning martial soul was not that strong, but her lightning martial soul was actually so much stronger than Xiang Ling''s.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "I am a lightning martial soul after all, so I am naturally stronger after fusing with your sister''s lightning martial soul. Your Sword Martial Spirit will not be able to harm me."


    "So that''s how it is." Xiang Xue tapped the center of her brows, and another Sword Martial Spirit shot out from between her eyebrows. "One martial soul can''t hurt you, so I don''t believe that two martial soul can''t hurt you as well."


    As she said that, she pointed two of her fingers and two martial soul shot towards Liu Jingjing at the same time.


    "Two Sword Martial Spirit s?" This scene surprised everyone once again. Ordinary people only had one martial soul, but Xiang Xue actually had two Sword Martial Spirit s?


    If a single Sword Martial Spirit''s Xiang Xue was already so powerful, then what about two Sword Martial Spirit''s Xiang Xue?


    Dongfang Yue and the others stared at Xiang Xue in astonishment. Xun Qin felt a little regretful in her heart, thinking that if he had known that she was a dual Sword Martial Spirit, he would have accepted her as a disciple a long time ago.


    Not only Dongfang Yue and the rest, but from afar, Shu Nan revealed a satisfied smile, as if he was determined to take Xiang Xue as his disciple.


    "Jingjing ¡­" This scene caused Di Chen to worry, it was also the first time he had seen two martial soul, this kind of person was too dangerous.


    Liu Jingjing calmly watched as the two Sword Martial Spirit s shot towards him. Lightning surged out from between her eyebrows and shot towards the two martial soul s, causing the entire training hall to turn a silver white color as the lightning struck onto them, causing them to be unable to open their eyes.


    "Pa ¡­"


    Everyone only heard a crackling sound as they all retreated.


    After a while, the lightning finally stopped, and the entire hall became silent. Everyone looked over to see Liu Jingjing kneeling down on one knee, her face pale white, as though she did not even have the strength to stand up.


    The situation was even worse than Liu Jingjing''s. There was a Sword Martial Spirit in front of her, but the other sword was gone. It seemed like it had been destroyed by lightning.


    "Damn it," Xiang Xue seemed to want to control the Sword Martial Spirit to kill Liu Jingjing, but she spit out a mouthful of blood the moment she moved.


    Lightning coiled around Liu Jingjing''s body, she was ready to move, as though she still had the power to kill Xiang Xue, but she did not continue fighting.


    "Has Xiang Xue lost? "Who is this woman? Why is she so powerful?" Xiang Xue was currently the one with the strongest Lifestealer Realm. She alone could defeat dozens of people of the same realm, but she actually lost to a freshman?


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan looked at each other. Previously, they had seen Liu Jingjing take action many times and every time Liu Jingjing would always display a shocking strength, but now, they knew that Liu Jingjing had never used his full strength.


    The ones who were most shocked were Li Xiu and Yang Yu. Only now did they know what kind of person they had offended, that even Xiang Xue was no match for them.


    Di Chen supported Liu Jingjing and asked: How is it?


    Liu Jingjing said weakly: "This Xiang Xue is indeed powerful, I have exhausted a bit too much energy, but I just need to rest for a little longer."


    Di Chen thought that since he could force Liu Jingjing to such an extent, it looked like Xiang Xue was truly extraordinary. However, Xiang Xue was not a direct disciple, he wondered how strong the direct disciples were.


    "Who is this new student?" Xun Qin looked at Liu Jingjing in surprise, "Her Lightning martial soul is so strong, I think her talent is no less than those direct disciples."


    Nian Bai looked at Dongfang Yue and said, "You should know who she is."


    Dongfang Yue nodded his head: "This woman is called Liu Jingjing, she was previously a student of Sky Realm Academy, but because of some matters, she was expelled by Sky Realm Academy, so Vice Principal Zhao allowed her to join Famous Sword Academy."


    "From the Sky Realm Academy?" Nian Bai thought it was no wonder she was so powerful. Surprised, he said, "Vice Principal Zhao actually recommended her. It looks like she must have some outstanding qualities."


    One had to know that Zhao Fusheng had never recommended others to enter the Famous Sword Academy, and the person he had his eyes on could imagine just how strong this guy was.


    It was just that Dongfang Yue did not say that the one Zhao Fusheng recommended was not Liu Jingjing, but Di Chen. He thought that since this Liu Jingjing was so strong, then it seemed that Di Zhe was stronger than Liu Jingjing.


    Xun Qin read the interest in Liu Jingjing''s eyes and said: "If possible, I would really like to take her as my disciple."


    Dongfang Yue proposed: "However, she was expelled by the Sky Realm Academy after all, and Vice Principal Yue did not specify the specific reason. This matter should wait for him to come back first."


    Xun Qin hesitated: "Her talent is extraordinary, I am not the only one with that thought, I am afraid that by the time Vice Principal Zhao returns, it will be too late."


    However, taking in a direct disciple was a very important matter, and one shouldn''t be reckless. Xun Qin hesitated for a moment, but she still wasn''t able to make up her mind.


    Hong Zhao rushed over and helped Xiang Xue up. "Xiang Xue, are you okay?"


    Xiang Xue gritted her teeth. "I''m fine. I''ll be fine after a short rest."


    Hong Zhao quickly said, "I''ll send you out of here first."


    Although Xiang Xue was still unconvinced, she knew that she was no match for her opponent. There was no point in fighting any more, not to mention the fact that she had already lost a martial soul.


    When Hong Zhao passed by Liu Jingjing, she looked at her hatefully and said: "You injured Xiang Xue, I will not let this matter go easily. I will challenge you, I hope you can recuperate quickly."


    With that, he left with Xiang Xue.


    Liu Jingjing laughed but did not say a word, and thought that this Hong Zhao was indeed wise, she actually wanted to wait for her injuries to heal before sparring with him.


    Just then, Shu Nan walked towards the three of them, upon seeing him, they all guessed that he wanted to take Liu Jingjing as his disciple, and all of them looked at him with envious eyes.


    Xun Qin secretly cursed. She had wanted to take Liu Jingjing as her disciple just now, but how did she let this Shu Nan go first? She had initially wanted to take Xiang Xue, but now she had changed her mind?


    Shu Nan walked in front of Di Chen and the other two, then looked at Lin Tao and said: "Are you willing to be my direct disciple?"


    "What?" Hearing these words, everyone was greatly taken aback. Shockingly, Shu Nan did not accept Liu Jingjing, who had just performed shockingly, but instead accepted a fourth stage Life Seizing Cultivator as his disciple?


    "Why did this teacher Shu Nan accept a fourth level cultivator? Even I am stronger than him."


    Many people at the scene were unconvinced, but they had no other choice. This was the decision of Shunan laoshi.


    Zi Yan and Bai Qian also had weird expressions on their faces.


    Dongfang Yue and Xun Qin also looked at each other. Just now, they had all set their gazes on Liu Jingjing and had not noticed Lin Tao, who was standing at the side.


    "Did I make a mistake again?" Dongfang Yue thought that Shunan''s eyes had always been unique, he definitely had to have an outstanding point in Lin Tao. This Liu Jingjing had already shocked him, could it be that this Lin Tao could surprise him even more?


    "I ¡­" Lin Tao pointed at himself in disbelief. He scratched his head and said, "You must have seen the wrong person."


    "No," Shunan said firmly. "It''s you. If you''re willing, come with me."


    With that, he walked out of the training hall without any more thoughts of giving pointers.


    Lin Tao stood on the spot hesitantly. This scene was too sudden and he found it hard to accept.


    Di Chen was not surprised, he thought that this teacher had a similar aura to Lin Tao, and was indeed suitable to teach Lin Tao, but not Liu Jing. He smiled: "What are you waiting for, quickly go."


    "Then I''ll be going," Lin Tao quickly chased after them. In fact, he knew very well that his talent was not as good as Di Chen''s and Liu Jingjing''s, and if there was no one to guide him, it would be difficult to improve. But now that a pie had fallen from the sky, how could he give it up?


    The person Di Chen was most worried about was Lin Tao, and now that he had been accepted as a direct disciple, Di Chen was finally relieved.

    "I didn''t expect that Shuo Nan would accept that person as his disciple." Xun Qin''s gaze suddenly fell on Liu Jingjing, and it seemed that she also wanted to take her as her disciple.


    Dongfang Yue said: "Shunan has always been an impulsive person when it comes to doing things, he doesn''t ask for the reason. Xun Qin, I think it''s better if you wait for Vice Principal Zhao to come back before making a decision."


    Xun Qin looked around, and shook her head: "I''m afraid many people have the urge to take that woman as their disciple, I cannot wait."


    She then walked towards Liu Jingjing, looked at him and asked: "You are the student recommended by Zhao Fusheng?"


    Liu Jingjing didn''t understand why she had come to find him. She nodded blankly: "Yes."


    Xun Qin immediately said: "Your talent is not bad, the cultivation technique you cultivate is compatible with me, how about you become my disciple?"


    These words were very straightforward, and when everyone heard these words, they all cried out in alarm. Just a moment ago, a new student had been accepted as a personal disciple, and now, another person had been accepted as a personal disciple.


    Liu Jingjing was startled, she could not believe it, and looked at Di Chen.


    The strength Liu Jingjing displayed just now was enough to attract the attention of these teachers. He smiled and nodded, allowing her to agree.


    Liu Jingjing naturally knew the benefit of being accepted as a disciple, but she was a little hesitant. She thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Forget it, I want to cultivate by myself."


    "What?" She actually rejected it? " Everyone was originally envious of Liu Jingjing, they never thought that she would actually reject him. Who in the Famous Sword Academy would not want to become a direct disciple, a direct disciple without considering rent, pills, cultivation technique and other issues, is she crazy?


    Xun Qin also did not expect Liu Jingjing to refuse, and asked in surprise: "Why?"


    Liu Jingjing subconsciously glanced at Di Chen, and said: "I don''t really like being restricted, I think it''s better to cultivate by myself."


    Xun Qin had naturally noticed the look in Liu Jingjing''s eyes, how could she not understand what Liu Jingjing was thinking? She then looked at Di Chen and said: "You are called Di Chen, what do you think?"


    Her meaning was for Di Chen to advise Liu Jingjing.


    Di Chen sighed, looked at Liu Jingjing and said: "You are still a bit away from breaking through your Martial King Realm, this period of time is very important, Jingjing, agree to her request."


    Liu Jingjing hesitated: "Di Chen, but if I leave too, who will accompany you in your cultivation? If I become your direct disciple, I won''t be able to meet you often, do you really want me to leave?"


    This sentence was very straightforward, she did not want to separate from Di Chen.


    Di Chen advised: "I can cultivate by myself, this is a good chance for you to break through, don''t miss it."


    Hearing that Di Chen insisted for him to agree, Liu Jingjing understood what Di Chen meant.


    Zi Yan was a little envious and also advised: "Jingjing, this is a good thing. Teacher Xun Qin is one of the strongest in the academy, please do not be willful."


    Liu Jingjing''s eyes dimmed, and then, looked at Xun Qin and said. "Thank you teacher, I am willing."


    Xun Qin laughed and said: "Then, follow me. I see that you will soon be able to break through the Martial King Realm, and during this period of time, I will properly guide you, and help you breakthrough as soon as possible."


    Liu Jingjing nodded, then looked at Di Chen with slight reluctance and said: "Di Chen, I''ll be going then."


    Di Chen laughed, but Liu Jingjing still followed Xun Qin and left, as though he was very reluctant to part with her, she turned back three times in a single step, and finally left the martial grounds. When she left, Di Chen''s eyes dimmed, and she felt that she had let her down.


    At this time, everyone looked at Di Chen, thinking that the three of them were all new students who had entered the academy at the same time, their relationship seemed to be good, they were all in the same group, and unexpectedly two of them had talent, so two of them must have talent, they did not know if he had taken them in, and after half a day, no one walked towards Di Chen, they finally retracted their gazes, thinking that he did not even have any spirit energy, and that no one would take him in as a direct disciple, it seems like they were thinking too much, but how did he do it?


    Di Chen looked at the ridiculing gazes of the people around him and frowned, he could guess their thoughts, but he was not in the mood to stay, he looked at Bai Qian and said: "I''ll be leaving first."


    Bai Qian was suspicious: "This class is a rare opportunity to raise your cultivation, why are you leaving so early?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I''ve encountered some bottlenecks in my cultivation, during this period of time, I need to train in seclusion."


    Bai Qian was even weirder, thinking that he should ask these teachers when he meets with bottlenecks. Could it be that Di Chen wanted to break through the bottleneck by himself?


    "Alright," Bai Qian didn''t ask too much, and said: "However, Zi Yan and I would like to stay for a while, after all, this is a rare opportunity."


    Di Chen nodded, he then left the training hall, and not long after that, several people came over, they were Li Xiu, Yang Yu and the rest, Di Chen understood what they were thinking, they had been afraid of Liu Jingjing the entire time, but now that Liu Jingjing had left, they would naturally take the chance to take revenge on him.


    Yang Yu and the others blocked Di Chen''s path, and looked at him with playful eyes: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I still need to go back and cultivate, why are you guys stopping me, don''t tell me you want to duel?"


    Li Xiu laughed coldly: "That Liu Jingjing has beat us up so badly. Since she''s gone now, we can only look for her friends. How badly did she beat us up?


    Just as Di Chen had thought, these people did not know of Di Chen''s cultivation level, so they were not afraid of him, and took the chance to find trouble with him.


    Di Chen was too lazy to talk to them, he didn''t want to fight either, so he went around them and prepared to leave.


    Yang Yu took another step forward to block Di Chen''s way as he ridiculed him, "Earlier, you were so arrogant following Liu Jingjing, and now, you don''t even dare to fart?"


    Di Chen still did not speak, and continued to bypass around him as he prepared to leave.


    "You want to leave?" Yang Yu grabbed towards Di Chen, but just as he was about to grab onto Di Chen, his body suddenly jerked, as though he was restricted by something.


    "What?" Before, when Yang Yu was also sealed like that, he had always thought that it was Liu Jingjing''s doing, but now that he was sealed again, it meant that it wasn''t Liu Jingjing?


    "It''s you," Yang Yu said with a face full of shock. So this fellow was the one who used this strange cultivation technique?


    Li Xiu and the rest retreated a few steps back in fear. Although Di Chen had not made his move, they knew the dangers of this technique. How could a person who could execute such a strange technique be an ordinary person?


    Di Chen still did not speak, and continued to leave. This time, no one stopped him, and only after Di Chen disappeared did Yang Yu regain his ability to move.


    Yang Yu had a face full of lingering fear: "I didn''t even feel that guy''s Origin Energy fluctuation just now, what skill exactly is he using? This guy is so evil."


    Li Xiu frowned: "Before, it was Liu Jingjing who took action, he was spectating, I thought that she was too weak, and did not dare to take action, now it seems that she is stronger than Liu Jingjing."


    "Stronger than Liu Jingjing?" The few of them thought to themselves, Liu Jingjing had already defeated Xiang Xue of the Double martial soul, but this fellow was even stronger than Liu Jingjing, then what cultivation does he have, could he be a martial king?


    No matter what identity the other party had, this time Yang Yu and the rest did not dare to provoke Di Chen.


    Not long after Di Chen left, he saw a few people walking over, led by a hundred year old man. Although Di Chen could not see through his cultivation, he could feel a terrifying pressure coming from him, and beside the old man were two people in their thirties. There was a male and a female, and behind them was another group of teenagers.


    The group of people walked in front of Di Chen, and the old man in the lead asked with a smile. "Little brother, where are the students and teachers in your academy?"


    Di Chen pointed in a direction and said, "It''s the training hall. There''s a big lesson today, and almost all of the students are there."


    The old man laughed and walked towards the direction Di Chen pointed to.


    "You are also from the Famous Sword Academy, why doesn''t your body have any elemental energy?"


    But right at this moment, a young man suddenly asked Di Chen. This young man was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, slightly younger than Di Chen, but he was at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Realm. It seemed that his talent was not bad, but his tone was filled with disdain and hostility.


    The old man raised an eyebrow, looked at the young man and berated: "Zuo Qing, this place is not our Clear Water Academy, so you can''t be rude."


    The youth called Zuo Qing said: "Principal Ping Song, it''s so hard to finally see a person, I just want to fight with him, and see if the people from the Famous Sword Academy are as strong as the rumors say."


    Ping Song said seriously: "Since we are here, we naturally have the chance to compete, but not now, let''s go."


    Zuo Qing curled his lips and said: "A guy who doesn''t even have soul force, I think he''s probably just some trash. I don''t even feel like sparring with him."


    Another youth laughed, "You know he doesn''t have any elemental energy, and yet you still want to compete with him. I think you can''t wait to show off your strength here."


    He was a person who loved to battle, so it was better for him to show off his skills. Now that he saw a Famous Sword Academy, he obviously wanted to show off his skills, so he did not care about Di Chen''s cultivation.


    Ping Song shook his head slightly. He was a little disappointed, and then, he smiled while looking at Di Chen. "He was too rude just now.


    Di Chen returned the greeting, "This old man is too courteous. Actually, I''m just a freshman, I''ve only been in the academy for five days, so I''m still not familiar with this place."


    "So you''re a new student, you almost wasted my time," Zuo Qing said in disdain. He thought that a new student could not represent the Famous Sword Academy, and even if he defeated the old man, he would have nothing to be proud of.


    Ping Song laughed, then led everyone to leave.


    "Clear Water Academy?" Looking at the backs of the crowd, Di Chen was curious. He thought that it was no wonder that there were so many experts here, the Clear Water Academy was one of the three great academies of the Martial Region Continent, located in the Central City. Di Chen did not expect that the Clear Water Academy would actually come to the Famous Sword Academy.


    Di Chen did not think too much into it, and thought that since these people were here to challenge the Famous Sword Academy, there would naturally be direct disciples who would deal with them, and it had nothing to do with him.

 C133

    After Ping Song left, he stopped and turned to look at Di Chen''s back curiously.


    The young man at the side asked curiously: "Principal Ping Song, what''s wrong, is there something wrong with this youth?"


    Ping Song said doubtfully: "I just feel that this young man is not like a warrior at all, he is too approachable."


    However, Di Chen looked like an ordinary scholar. He was very gentle, why would such a person be in Famous Sword Academy?


    The young man seemed a little curious and said after thinking, "He doesn''t have any soul force. Maybe he isn''t a martial artist at all, but there are many ordinary people in many academies. This is normal, so there''s no need to make a fuss."


    Ping Song nodded his head, thinking that it was true, but he felt that it was strange. This person gave him a very mysterious feeling, his speech was also very calm, and his temperament was not that of an ordinary person.


    Ping Song did not think too much about it, and went back to the martial arts training grounds. He went towards the martial arts training grounds of the Lifestealer Realm, and upon entering, he saw many students of the Lifestealer Realm cultivating.


    Zuo Qing who was at the side had a face full of burning desire, the reason he came to Famous Sword Academy this time was to find someone to compete with, when he saw the students, he had long been unable to hold back, and wanted to rush up to fight with them.


    When the students saw Ping Song and the others, they obviously knew that they were not from Famous Sword Academy. They all stopped and looked at Ping Song and the others curiously.


    "It''s him?" Dongfang Yue saw Ping Song at first glance, and raised his eyebrows: Why is he suddenly here?


    "I heard from the Principal a while ago that the Clear Water Academy was preparing to send someone to visit us in a month''s time. I would also like to exchange pointers with you as well. You must have come early."


    Every few years, the three great academies would send disciples to compete, but they would occasionally send people to visit each other. Their goal was to test each other''s strength, and a few months ago, the Clear Water Academy had already promised to come to the Famous Sword Academy.


    Dongfang Yue thought for a while, but still walked towards Ping Song and smiled: "Principal Ping Song, what wind blew you here?"


    Ping Song cupped his hands: "This time, we have specially brought a few of the sect''s students to visit the Famous Sword Academy, and it can be considered as us coming here to learn more about it."


    "I heard that the Clear Water Academy will be back in a month, but why is it a month earlier than usual? Our Vice Principal hasn''t come back yet."


    The principal of the Famous Sword Academy was Hen Zhen, but even though he carried the title of principal, he did not stay in the Famous Sword Academy often, but traveled around the place, and Zhao Fusheng had mostly been in charge of managing the matters of the Famous Sword Academy, but for the past few years, Zhao Fusheng did not stay in the Academy often either.


    Ping Song replied: "It''s alright, this time we are only here to pay a visit to Famous Sword Academy, there is no other reason behind it, furthermore I have already sent a flying letter to Vice President Zhao."


    He said that he had no other intentions, but he knew that most of the people here would spar. This was not a small matter.


    "Oh, right," Ping Song pointed at the young man and woman beside him and introduced them: "I forgot to introduce, this is our new teacher, Gu Yun Jian. This is my granddaughter Ping Xue Zhu, Yun Jian, and Xue Zhu.


    "I have seen senior." The Lone Cloud Sword and the Plains Snow Bamboo both bow their heads. Although they are teachers of the Clear Water Academy, in reality, their statuses are lower than Nian Bai and Dongfang Yue.


    Dongfang Yue curiously sized up Lone Cloud Sword, and laughed: "I remember you, back then you were the champion of the three great academies'' Martial King Realm competition. I didn''t expect you to remain in the Clear Water Academy and even become a teacher."


    "I was only lucky back then," Gu Yun Jian said modestly. He was indeed only a student of the Clear Water Academy''s Martial King Realm, and had even obtained the top position in the Martial King Realm. A few years ago, he had broken through to the Martial Saint realm, and was now a teacher there.


    Dongfang Yue looked at Pingxue Bamboo, and he was a little surprised. He remembered that Pingxue Bamboo had participated in the competition between the three great academies, and although his performance was extraordinary, he had not entered the top ten. He did not expect to become a teacher of the Clear Water Academy no matter what, and judging from her current aura, he did not seem to be weaker than the Lone Cloud Sword.


    "President Ping Song, can I go and find someone to compete with?" Zuo Qing could not wait and asked.


    Ping Song berated: "Don''t be rude, just obediently stay here."


    Zuo Qing said: "In any case, the competition will happen sooner or later, it''s not like I will injure them, I promise I will be lenient."


    Have mercy?


    Dongfang Yue frowned when he heard this, thinking that this youth was arrogant, looking down on Famous Sword Academy.


    "What the hell are you? You''re only at the ninth level of Life Seizing, and yet you still show mercy."


    "Yeah, your Clear Water Academy people aren''t that strong, but they speak quite arrogantly."


    Dongfang Yue was not in a position to say anything, but the students would definitely not hold back when they heard Zuo Qing''s words, and they all started to curse loudly.


    Zuo Qing was not afraid of their insults at all, he raised his head and said: "If you have the ability, we can fight, if I can''t defeat you in ten seconds, it''s my loss, how about it?"


    "What an arrogant fellow. If you want to fight, just fight. We''re afraid of you."


    These academies were the most impulsive, and decided to fight a round in a few breaths'' time. Dongfang Yue and Ping Song both had an ancient smile on their faces, and couldn''t stop them even if they wanted to.


    "Zuo Qing..." Ping Song berated, then looked at Dongfang Yue with an apologetic gaze: "He is young and overbearing, and has some strength that allows him to look down on others. He is truly insensible and wrongly accused."


    When Dongfang Yue heard that Ping Song had purposely emphasized some of his strength, he could tell that Ping Song valued this person greatly. He thought for a moment and said: This martial arts arena is meant for sparring, since it''s already here, let''s spar based on my point of view.


    In reality, Dongfang Yue was not willing to compete in this competition, it was just that Zuo Qing''s words were too arrogant, even he did not have enough face, and with the Famous Sword Academy students fighting with such high spirits, it seemed like they would not stop until the fight started.


    Ping Song looked at Zuo Qing who could not wait any longer, thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, then we will stop there."


    Dongfang Yue looked at Bai Qian and said, "Bai Qian, come."


    Bai Qian was startled, he did not expect Dongfang Yue to let him come, he nodded and walked out, all the students looked at each other and started discussing softly, this Bai Qian''s strength was actually only in the middle levels of Famous Sword Academy, how could they let him come?


    "Please advise me," Bai Qian said as he pulled out his sword and pointed it at Zuo Qing.


    Zuo Qing looked at Bai Qian from head to toe, hooked his finger and smiled: "You are my master, you should be the first one to attack."


    This was obviously underestimating Bai Qian, Bai Qian''s gaze turned cold, he immediately used his sword to slash at Zuo Qing, the sword light shone, killing intent surged, if he was slashed, it would also be fatal.


    "That''s it?" Zuo Qing channeled his spirit energy and stepped forward with his right foot. The entire ground trembled and then, a fist smashed towards Bai Qian as a terrifying gust of wind swept towards him.


    Bai Qian only felt that the sword was blocked by an invisible force, he could not take a step forward, he clenched his teeth, and was struck by the wind, causing him to tumble over ten times.


    Zuo Qing laughed: "That''s all you have? Where is your martial soul?"


    Bai Qian crawled up from the ground and tapped on the center of his brows, then a black sword shot out from between his eyebrows towards Zuo Qing.


    "Is this your Sword Martial Spirit?" Zuo Qing stared at Sword Martial Spirit seriously, but he was not careless this time. He punched out again, and a gigantic shadow of a fist struck out towards Bai Qian''s Sword Martial Spirit.


    Bang!


    As the two forces collided, Bai Qian''s Sword Martial Spirit was unable to withstand the power at all. With a pu sound, it dispersed, and after Zuo Qing''s fist shadow broke through Bai Qian''s Sword Martial Spirit, its power did not decrease at all. It fiercely smashed into Bai Qian''s body and brought him flying along with it.


    Everyone looked at each other, although Bai Qian was not considered a Ranker in the Famous Sword Academy, but was he at least beaten up into such a miserable state, to the point of having his martial soul destroyed?


    However, no one understood that there was someone stronger than Bai Qian here, so why would Dongfang Yue allow him to fight?


    But now that Bai Qian had suffered a crushing defeat, not only did it harm him, it also caused him to lose face for the Famous Sword Academy.


    Zi Yan hurriedly helped Bai Qian up, and asked anxiously: "Bai Qian, how are you?"


    Bai Qian wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth: "I''m fine, it''s just that my martial soul was destroyed."


    Zi Yan looked at Zuo Qing hatefully, and angrily bellowed: This is only a competition, why are your attacks so heavy, and you actually destroyed his martial soul?


    Zuo Qing shrugged his shoulders and said: "I didn''t expect him to be so weak, just careless."


    "You ¡­" Zi Yan was so angry that he wanted to attack. It''s fine if you beat Bai Qian, but you''re actually ridiculing him?


    Although Bai Qian was angry, he would not be too impulsive. He knew that if Zi Yan were to make a move, the consequences would be very miserable as well. He did not want Zi Yan to be injured.


    "Zuo Qing," Ping Song knew that Zuo Qing''s attack wasn''t serious, but he really didn''t expect that he would actually destroy another person''s martial soul.


    Zuo Qing curled his lips and said, "You can''t blame me for that. I really thought he was very strong, but who would have thought he wouldn''t even take a single blow. Principal Ping Song, you also know that I didn''t even use a third of my strength just now."


    Initially, Ping Song wanted to scold him, but she thought that he was speaking the truth, so he kept his words and looked at Dongfang Yue: "Brother Dongfang, I am really sorry. I will definitely discipline him when I go back."


    Dongfang Yue laughed, but in his heart he was a little surprised. This Zuo Qing did not even use a third of his strength previously, so it was likely that not many disciples in Famous Sword Academy could defeat him.


    Zuo Qing took another step forward, and said in a clear voice: "Who else wants to try, I guarantee this time that I won''t destroy his martial soul."


    Zuo Qing was also afraid that the students of the Famous Sword Academy would come and fight, so he intentionally said that he would not destroy his martial soul, but saying these words to the Famous Sword Academy was an insult, even the teachers that heard it were angry.


    "I''ll do it." At this moment, another man walked out. When they saw this man, everyone became excited. His name was Mu Chen. Aside from Hong Zhao and Xiang Xue, he was the strongest here.

 C134

    "It''s Mu Chen. He has the strength to be chosen as a direct disciple. This time, the Famous Sword Academy will be finished."


    "Even Hong Zhao and Xiang Xue have trouble defeating Mu Chen, let alone this fellow."


    When everyone saw Mu Chen come out, they immediately became excited. It seemed that they had a lot of confidence in Mu Chen.


    Mu Chen walked out, looked at Dongfang Yue and calmly said: "Teacher Dongfang, I want to challenge Famous Sword Academy, this student."


    Dongfang Yue also understood Mu Chen, he was a talented person, he smiled and said: "Alright then."


    Mu Chen walked in front of Zuo Qing and cupped his fists: "Please advise."


    Zuo Qing curiously sized up Mu Chen and when he heard the discussions of the people around him, he knew that this person''s strength was not ordinary. His interest was piqued as he smiled: "I hope that you''re as strong as they say, so don''t disappoint me."


    Mu Chen did not say anything. He pulled out his Spirit Sword, leaped up, and pointed his sword towards Zuo Qing.


    "Not bad, your spirit energy is dense, you have some strength." Zuo Qing''s spirit energy gushed out and with a punch, a shadow of a fist flew towards Mu Chen. This was the move that destroyed Bai Qian''s martial soul.


    Mu Chen''s sword struck against Zuo Qing''s fist shadow and with a pfft sound, the fist shadow instantly dissipated. Mu Chen''s speed did not slow down at all and continued to charge at Zuo Qing.


    "Hmm? His right hand clenched into a fist, and an even more terrifying amount of Origin Energy flowed into his palm. With a wolf howl, he punched out once more, and a wolf shadow rushed out from his arm to bite Mu Chen.


    Mu Chen''s sword landed on the wolf shadow and with a pu sound, the wolf shadow collapsed. However, Mu Chen was also sent flying dozens of meters away.


    "So powerful," Mu Chen was secretly surprised, although the sword attack was ordinary, it consumed a lot of spirit energy. He did not expect the other party to be able to block it, so he did not dare to be careless.


    Mu Chen''s sword was called the Snake Bone Sword. It was refined from the flesh and blood of a snake. It could take the form of a snake. This was the final form of the Snake Bone Sword.


    Zuo Qing released another wolf shadow roar and this time, the wolf shadow was bitten and scattered by the silver serpent. Zuo Qing was slightly surprised, he quickly retreated, fiercely punching one after another, while wolf shadow roared and flew out from his arms. However, every single wolf shadow was struck by the snake bone sword, in the beginning, these illusions were unable to resist the snake bone sword at all, but after a few streams of sword qi, the snake bone sword was finally unable to hold on and was bounced back, changing back into a sword.


    "Such dense Yuan Power?" Mu Chen was surprised. He could tell that this cultivation technique consumed quite a bit of soul force, but the person had actually used it so crazily just now. The amount of soul force that he had expended was probably not something that an ordinary ninth stage Life Seizing Cultivator could possess.


    Dongfang Yue said in surprise, "What is wrong with this child? His spirit energy is actually this strong?"


    Ping Song smiled as he explained, "Zuo Qing''s strength is not bad, but it''s nothing compared to a lot of ninth stage Life Seizing Cultivators. You can probably tell that he''s strong because his body is unique and his spirit energy is the five parts of an ordinary person''s body.


    Dongfang Yue inhaled a breath of cold air, just five to six times would be enough for an ordinary person to use Zuo Qing''s cultivation technique, but Zuo Qing''s crazy use only used up a third of the spirit energy?


    Zuo Qing stretched his aching arms and laughed: "Your strength isn''t bad, but it''s a pity that you can''t beat me if you don''t use the martial soul, let me see how good your martial soul is too!"


    "As you wish," Mu Chen calmly stared at Zuo Qing. He suddenly tapped on his forehead and a gigantic sword shot up into the sky.


    Zuo Qing could feel a huge force surging forth, the spirit force in his body gushed out like a tide, the spirit force formed a wolf shadow outside his body, with a loud shout, the wolf shadow left his body and roared towards the gigantic sword.


    BOOM!


    The two clashed, the difference in power was about the same, the gigantic sword was unable to break through the wolf shadow, but the wolf shadow was also unable to break through the gigantic sword, a ripple rippled out from between the two and forced everyone back, the two of them were prepared to fight head on, whoever could not hold on first would lose.


    "This guy actually used a cultivation technique to defend against Zuo Qing''s martial soul?"


    The martial soul was a person''s most powerful technique. If Mu Chen''s martial soul could not defeat it, then he would probably not be the opponent.


    Mu Chen''s sword shadows were the first to collapse. With a creak, a crack appeared. If he were to continue fighting, his Sword Martial Spirit would also be destroyed.


    "Crap," Mu Chen immediately called out to the Sword Martial Spirit, but without the Sword Martial Spirit blocking him, the wolf shadow charged towards Mu Chen, fiercely smashing into Mu Chen''s body, causing him to fly out. With a bang, a large hole was created in the wall, and Mu Chen was lying on the ground, covered in blood, on his last breath.


    Zuo Qing seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy as he continued to pant heavily. However, he was fine after all, he still had the ability to continue fighting.


    "This ¡­" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Mu Chen also lost?


    Just now, Zuo Qing did not even use his martial soul and had completely relied on his cultivation technique to defeat Mu Chen. How could this fellow be this strong?


    Nian Bai quickly ran over to Mu Chen''s side and took his pulse. Seeing that Mu Chen wasn''t worried about his life, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, his injuries were so severe that it would take a long time before he could recover.


    "Is there anyone else?" Although Zuo Qing had used up most of his elemental energy and looked exhausted, he still wanted to fight.


    The crowd was still indignant before, but now, they were all hanging their heads in dejection. No one dared to challenge them again, and they all lowered their heads in silence.


    "Enough," Ping Song reprimanded. "You have almost reached your limit, and will stop here for today."


    Zuo Qing seemed to be unreconciled, but after thinking about it, he nodded and retreated behind Ping Song.


    Ping Song then looked at Dongfang Yue and said: "Brother Dongfang, please don''t blame Zuo Qing for attacking inappropriately."


    Dongfang Yue laughed out loud: "Clear Water Academy has as many experts as clouds, and as expected, my Famous Sword Academy knows she is no match for them, and will stop here for today."


    Although he had lost, Dongfang Yue did not seem to care at all.


    Ping Song laughed: "I know that there is still a group of direct disciples in Famous Sword Academy, that is where the core experts of Famous Sword Academy are. If they were to make a move, I''m afraid that Zuo Qing will definitely lose."


    Dongfang Yue naturally would not admit to such a thing, and laughed: "Dean Ping, you are joking, let''s go, I will bring you guys to rest. During this time, you can all take a look at Famous Sword Academy."


    The people Ping Song was bringing this time were experts of all realms, so it was naturally not just a competition of Lifestealer Realm. This was still just a foreplay, what was truly exciting was the contest between the next few realms.


    Dongfang Yue sent a teacher to read Ping Song and rest, and after they left, he frowned: "Looks like Ping Song came prepared this time, just him being so strong, I think the remaining people are even more terrifying than this Zuo Qing."


    Nian BIng frowned seriously. "That''s right, it seems that we can''t let the direct disciples out this time. Although this isn''t an official competition, we can''t lose too easily."


    One had to know that just now, he lost very badly, and this battle was just a test of water, the true experts did not make a move, the following battles were only more disadvantageous to the Famous Sword Academy, the direct disciples of the Famous Sword Academy did not appear often, it seemed like they would not make it this time.


    "Famous Sword Academy is only so-so."


    After all, Zuo Qing was young. He was proud to have won against two people, and he did not place the people of Famous Sword Academy in his eyes anymore.


    Gu Yun Jian reminded him, "Don''t be too complacent, those disciples are just ordinary disciples. The strongest people in Famous Sword Academy are the direct disciples, they have yet to make a move, if they were to make a move, you would be at a disadvantage."


    Zuo Qing disapproved: "I have not used martial soul s yet, just now I heard those people mentioning a name, I think this name is the strongest out of them all, too bad that guy was not there just now, if there was a chance, I would like to ask them for a bit."


    Many people had mentioned the ''Great Brilliance'' and the ''Xiang Xue'' from before, but Xiang Xue was injured, so many people placed their hopes on her. As for the direct disciples, because they hadn''t seen her before, they didn''t hold any hope.


    Ping Song said: "If you want to compete with him, you still have a chance. During this period of time, don''t cause trouble, we are guests after all."


    Zuo Qing knew that he shouldn''t go too far and could only say yes, but he couldn''t help but want to challenge the man called Hong Zhao. He thought to himself that if he had the chance, he would look for him for a spar.


    However, it was a good thing that Liu Jingjing was accepted as her direct disciple. Liu Jingjing was a talented person, he did not wish for Liu Jingjing to waste her time on him.


    However, Di Chen had stayed in this realm for a long time, and needed to think of a way to break through the King Wen Realm. However, breaking through to the Scholar Realm required a stroke of fortune, and sometimes, one could breakthrough in a moment of enlightenment. Sometimes, one would not be able to break through in their entire lives, and such things could not be forced.


    Dong, dong, dong!


    Di Chen did not know how long he had been writing when a knock came from the door. When Di Chen opened the door, he saw that it was Bai Qian and Zi Yan.


    Di Chen helped Bai Qian to sit down, and asked: "What''s going on? How did you receive such heavy injuries?"


    Bai Qian gritted his teeth: "Clear Water Academy came to our Famous Sword Academy to pay a visit. I was dueling with someone just now and was seriously injured by him, even the martial soul was destroyed."


    "What?" Di Chen had met those people from the Clear Water Academy before and said in shock, "It was just a competition. These fellows were so excessive that they even destroyed your martial soul?"


    Bai Qian said angrily: "It''s a 15 year old youth. His spirit energy is strong, and he is an arrogant person. I am not his match, and even Mu Chen was defeated.


    "Is it really that powerful?" Di Chen knew who the young man Bai Qian was talking about was. Earlier, when he met Clear Water Academy, there was a very arrogant young man, and he knew that the young man was not weak.

 C135

    Zi Yan was not convinced: "Clear Water Academy and the rest are too outrageous, Teacher Dongfang Yue is truly outrageous, how can he let Bai Qian be the first to step up?"


    Di Chen frowned, he knew that the disciples were much stronger than Bai Qian, but Dongfang Yue had allowed Bai Qian to be the first one to go up, and he was obviously testing Bai Qian, and was afraid that Bai Qian would lose, and had not considered the possibility of Bai Qian being in danger.


    Thinking about it like this, Di Chen sighed again, thinking that those with talent would be taken seriously, those without talent are people who can only be used to their advantage.


    Di Chen asked: "Then what about your martial soul?"


    Bai Qian said helplessly: "What else can we do, we can only cultivate again."


    The second method was to steal other people''s martial soul. This was relatively faster, but the target had to be chosen well, even if the other party''s martial soul was too weak to steal it, it was useless if the other party''s martial soul was too strong, and if the other party''s martial soul was too strong, it could not merge into their own body. Furthermore, every person''s martial soul was different, and randomly fusing other people''s martial soul into their own body would only be disadvantageous for their own cultivation.


    Di Chen thought for a while and advised: "Cultivating again is too troublesome, I think it''s better to have the chance to snatch other people''s martial soul, instead, there are many demonic ways in Youzhou, you snatching those evil people''s martial soul is also acting on behalf of the heavens."


    Bai Qian was startled, although stealing other people''s souls was a little sinister, but it was also the fastest way, so after thinking for a bit, he nodded his head.


    Zi Yan reminded him: "Di Chen, you be careful too. Let''s not talk about the people from Clear Water Academy, even a lot of people from our Famous Sword Academy would harm you."


    Di Chen laughed and said: "I know, I will stay here and cultivate during this time. I won''t cause any trouble."


    When Liu Jingjing was brought away by Xun Qin, Zi Yan was also worried that she would be in danger without her protection. After all, the few of them had offended quite a few people, but Zi Yan did not know that Di Chen was much stronger than him.


    "Then we will be going," Zi Yan and Bai Qian did not stay any longer.


    Di Chen nodded his head, he was curious to see the backs of Zi Yan and Bai Qian, although he had guessed that these two people were not ordinary, but now that Bai Qian was injured, it seemed like he had thought about it too much, but Zi Yan seemed to give off a different feeling, Di Chen thought that maybe Zi Yan was not as simple as he thought.


    Di Chen continued to write, in the past two days, he did not come out of the room. The table was already filled with white papers with the word "spear" written all over, but Di Chen had never broken through to the King Wen, it seemed like he was always a little bit lacking.


    "Forget it, I''m not writing anymore," Di Chen''s arms were aching from writing, then he stopped and stretched his body and walked out of the room.


    "Hmm?" Suddenly, Di Chen felt a strong enmity, he looked over and saw that Li Yuan was actually standing not far away.


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows, private duels were forbidden in this place, so he did not dare make a move, but looking at his hostile expression, it seemed that he could not hold back and wanted to kill him.


    Li Yuan also walked over, and looked at Di Chen with a face full of ridicule: "I heard that Liu Jingjing was accepted by Teacher Xun Qin as her direct disciple, and that Lin Tao was also taken in by teacher Shunan, only no one was willing to take him in as a disciple. It seems you''re much weaker than them, don''t you think that''s shameful?"


    Di Chen laughed: "You haven''t even been accepted as a direct disciple, you think you have the qualifications to mock me?"


    Li Yuan laughed coldly: "I just feel that now that there''s no one to protect you, I want to see how you''ll still be able to stand firm in Famous Sword Academy. I suggest that you hide in this residential area forever, the moment you go out, I''ll destroy your martial soul."


    Earlier, it had always been Liu Jingjing who was fighting, so Li Yuan instinctively thought that Di Chen was being protected by Liu Jingjing and his true strength was very weak.


    Di Chen didn''t mind this kind of ridicule, and said while shrugging: "Then I''ll just stay in the residential area for the rest of the time."


    Li Yuan originally wanted to provoke Di Chen, but who would have thought that with Di Chen''s thick skin, he actually refused to go out.


    How could Di Chen not understand his thoughts? He immediately turned around and left.


    Seeing that Di Chen was about to leave, Li Yuan became anxious again and said with a solemn face, "Di Chen, do you still remember those villagers you saved last time?"


    Di Chen stopped in his tracks, suddenly he felt a sense of unease, he looked at Li Yuan and asked: "What did you do to them?"


    Li Yuan cracked open his mouth and revealed a sinister smile: "Senior Xiang Xue and I have killed all of them, leaving only a little girl alive, but I think that such a young child will not be able to survive in this cruel world alone. He might already be dead."


    That day, Di Chen saved everyone, gave them a sum of money, and let them leave. He originally wanted to get rid of Li Yuan and the others, but Li Yuan was not willing to let them go, and even killed them all?


    These were just ordinary villagers, and a warrior had gone out of his way to kill them?


    Di Chen could already imagine Xiao Ke''s helpless state when her loved ones were killed, but this guy just didn''t want to kill her. He wanted her to survive in this cruel world, so how could Xiao Ke live on?


    "Isn''t that too much?" Di Chen endured his anger and said.


    Li Yuan laughed coldly: "Xiang Ling died because of them, if you want to blame anyone, blame yourself. Who told you to be so nosy, I was the one who killed them, you are the real culprit."


    Di Chen couldn''t help but want to attack him when he heard this.


    Li Yuan could tell that Di Chen was already on the edge of his impulse, and continued to speak: "You didn''t see that little Girl called Xiao Ke, crying so bitterly, too bad you didn''t see this scene, haha ¡­"


    "You really deserve to die," Di Chen glared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan laughed out loud: "You want to kill me? That''s fine, just follow me out."


    Di Chen''s eyes flashed, he saw that there was a thin line above Li Yuan''s head. This was Li Yuan''s lifeline, the power of his scholars rushed into Li Yuan''s lifeline, and wiped out most of his lifeline, leaving him with only a small section of lifeline. This tiny bit of lifeline would at most allow Li Yuan to live for another ten or so more minutes before he turned around and left, not wanting to kill Li Yuan immediately because he did not want others to know that he had died by his hands.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan originally thought that since he provoked Di Chen, he would definitely not be able to resist and take action. However, he really did not think that this fellow would actually hold it in, and could not help but curse inwardly: "Useless thing."


    When Li Yuan returned to his room, Xiang Xue was waiting for him.


    "How is it?" Xiang Xue asked.


    Li Yuan taunted: "As expected, this guy is useless. I''ve already told him about killing all the villagers, but he still refused to come out. He''s really a piece of trash."


    "What?" Did you tell him that you killed the villagers? You guys are way too daring, "Hong Zhao was surprised. Killing a villager was no small matter, and if those teachers from the academy knew about this, the consequences would be unthinkable.


    Li Yuan said indifferently: "It doesn''t matter, since all the teachers in the academy don''t know, no one will believe it even if Di Chen tells the teachers."


    Hong Zhao did not agree to kill the normal villagers previously, and now that she told Di Chen about this matter, she was even angrier, but he could not do it in front of Xiang Xue.


    Xiang Xue couldn''t kill Liu Jingjing, so she wanted Li Yuan to lure her out and release her anger on him. However, she did not expect that Di Chen would actually be unable to hide.


    "No, I must kill him." Xiang Xue didn''t care that much, she only wanted to take revenge for Xiang Ling. Now that Liu Jingjing had become her direct disciple, she didn''t have the chance to kill him, so she wanted to kill Di Chen.


    Hong Zhao stopped Xiang Xue and said, "Xiang Xue, don''t be rash. If you want to take revenge, you have plenty of opportunities, so why violate the academy''s rules? If the academy finds out, you will definitely be expelled out of the academy, so when the time comes, even if you kill Di Chen, how will you kill Liu Jingjing?"


    Xiang Xue only gave up after hearing this. Compared to Di Chen, she really wanted to kill Liu Jingjing more than anyone else, not only because she had killed Xiang Ling, but also because she had beaten her earlier.


    "Fine, I''ll let him live for a while longer." Xiang Xue gritted her teeth. "But as long as you give me the chance, I''ll kill him."


    Hong Zhao shook her head, thinking to herself that Xiang Xue was blinded by hatred.


    "Oh yeah," Li Yuan changed the subject, "Senior Brother Hong Zhao, I heard that a few Famous Sword Academy''s people have arrived at the academy during this period of time. They are very strong, and a person called Zuo Qing has beaten Mu Chen to a terrible defeat.


    This matter had already been spread throughout the academy. Although Ping Song clearly prohibited Zuo Qing from taking action again, Zuo Qing still couldn''t help but want to challenge Hongwei. During this period of time, he was intentionally asking about the whereabouts of Hongwei.


    "I know," Hong Zhao calmly said, "Let him handle this. The direct disciples are free to handle this kind of thing."


    Li Yuan was startled: "Senior Brother Hong Zhao, could it be that you are not confident?"


    Hong Zhao calmly replied, "It''s not that I don''t have confidence, it''s just that I don''t want to participate in this kind of battle."


    "Now ¡­" Li Yuan wanted to say more, but before he could finish, his eyes suddenly opened up, and fell straight onto the ground.


    "Li Yuan," Hong Zhao shouted. Li Yuan did not react, but Hong Zhao immediately helped him up. He patted Li Yuan''s body, but Li Yuan did not react at all.


    "What?" Xiang Xue''s face was filled with surprise. She immediately let Hong Zhao inspect Li Yuan''s body, but there were no wounds on his body, no internal injuries, and it did not seem like he was poisoned. It was impossible to tell how he died.


    He had died just like that without any warning, so it was impossible for him to see how he had died.


    Xiang Xue squinted, "It must have been Di Chen."


    Hong Zhao shook her head: "Li Yuan died in a strange way. That Di Chen did not have any elemental energy in his body, so he could not have killed Li Yuan so quietly. I don''t think it was him.


    Xiang Xue thought that Li Yuan died in a strange and sudden manner. That Di Chen didn''t seem to have that kind of ability either.

 C136

    "Teacher Dongfang, bad news!"


    Dongfang Yue was currently cultivating, and a shout came from outside. He immediately opened the door and saw Hong Zhao hugging Li Yuan, and asked suspiciously: "Hong Zhao, why are you in such a hurry, what happened?"


    Hong Zhao anxiously said: "Teacher Dongfang, Li Yuan suddenly died from tempering."


    "Quenching to death?" Dongfang Yue was startled. This was the first time he had heard that a martial artist would be quenched to death, so he made Hong Zhao place Li Yuan''s corpse on the ground. Then, he carefully examined Li Yuan''s body.


    Dongfang Yue frowned: "It seems like his life is exhausted, it''s strange."


    Hong Zhao said in disbelief: "It can''t be, he''s a Lifestealer Realm practitioner after all, his Lifestealer Realm life expectancy can''t be considered short, how could he possibly exhaust his lifespan at such a young age."


    Everyone''s lifespan was limited, but as a warrior, their lifespan would be longer, and the higher the realm, the longer their lifespan would be. So how could Li Yuan be dead at such a young age?


    Dongfang Yue shook his head. He couldn''t figure out the specific reason in an instant, and asked after a moment of silence: "Has he offended anyone recently?"


    "This ¡­" Hong Zhao did not know what to say, but after thinking for a while, she still said, "A while ago, Li Yuan and Xiang Ling were training outside, and in the end, we ran into the three new students. It was Di Chen and the others, who escaped after Xiang Ling and Fang Hao were killed."


    "The three of them?" Dong Fang pondered for a while, and shook his head: "If Li Yuan was truly killed by someone, I think it would be similar to a spell or curse technique, and only this kind of technique can kill people without them noticing, they are just normal warriors, they cannot do this."


    Most of the Martial Region Continent''s cultivation techniques were ordinary, but there were some demonic cultivation techniques that were very evil, these types of people came and go like ghosts, killing people without a trace. If Li Yuan had really died by someone else''s hands, that would be the only possibility, but it was obvious that Di Chen and the other two could not learn this evil technique.


    Hong Zhao thought that it might be Di Chen''s doing, but hearing Dongfang Yue''s words, she felt relieved.


    Dongfang Yue analyzed: "However, there shouldn''t be anyone in the Spirit Province who knows any evil techniques, and Li Yuan also doesn''t have the chance to interact with such people. I think Li Yuan should be dead from quenching, find a place to properly bury his corpse."


    He nodded.


    Dongfang Yue did not seem to mind Li Yuan''s death at all, after all, there were many students in Famous Sword Academy, and every single one of them was normal, so he changed the topic: "Right, you heard about the Zuo Qing who came from Clear Water Academy, he had always wanted to challenge you, with his personality, he will definitely take action, are you confident?"


    "I don''t want to fight him, but I''m not afraid if he insists on causing trouble," Hong Zhao said calmly.


    Dongfang Yue laughed: That''s good, other than you, no other disciple can defeat Zuo Qing now.


    He knew that there were still a lot of direct disciples in the Famous Sword Academy, and that was why these direct disciples were the strongest, but Dongfang Yue did not wish for these direct disciples to show their faces, so he allowed Hong Zhao to appear. It was just that this action made Hong Zhao a little unhappy, and Hong Zhao did not say anything.


    However, no matter how hard Di Chen tried, he could not break through the last barrier no matter how much he read or wrote. The realm of the King Wen seemed to be very close to Di Chen but it seemed to be very far away, as if a mysterious force was blocking him from writing. For the next three days, Di Chen had yet to make a breakthrough in his realm, and the power of the scholars seemed to have reached their limits as well, making it impossible for them to increase.


    "Forget it," Di Chen said as his entire body was aching. This time, he finally gave up and left the room.


    The Famous Sword Academy was different from the Sky Realm Academy. The scenery was beautiful, the air was fresh and clear, and Di Chen prepared to wander around to relax his mind.


    Di Chen came to a lake and suddenly saw a man sitting by the lake. had met this man before, it was Kui Shan.


    "Senior Brother Kui Shan." Di Chen walked over and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"


    Kui Shan saw that it was Di Chen and laughed: "Oh, so it''s Di Chen, I train here everyday. Oh right, I see that you have been cultivating in your room for the past few days, how has your training been going?"


    Di Chen sighed: "There''s no way to break through the current realm, there''s still just a little difference."


    Kui Shan curiously looked at Di Chen, thought for a while and still asked, "Why do you not have any spirit energy in your body, I can''t even tell what realm you are in."


    Di Chen smiled mysteriously, "I''m at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, but my cultivation technique is a little special."


    Kui Shan could tell that Di Chen was deliberately hiding it from him, but she did not probe further, and laughed: "You said that you are about to break through to the current realm, which means that you are still a bit away from becoming a Martial King. How about this, after some time, I have arranged for a few more people to go to mountain to kill demonic beast, and you will go with us.


    Actually, Di Chen had that thought before, but before he broke through to King Wen, he did not dare to enter the mountain alone, so Kui Shan acting together was a different story. Furthermore, Kui Shan had been taking care of Di Chen during this period of time, so Di Chen was slightly more at ease with him around.


    "Okay," Di Chen agreed without hesitation, thinking that if he had the chance to absorb a few Demonic King''s flesh and blood, he might be able to break through his Martial King Realm.


    "When the time comes, I''ll come find you. I''ll be leaving first," Kui Shan smiled, and after greeting Di Chen, he left the place.


    Di Chen sat on the side of the lake and started reading. This time, he didn''t think of reading to break through the realm of King Wen, but just simply read a book. The book he read was a travel diary, and it talked about the humanities in the southernmost areas of Martial Region Continent.


    "Hmm?" After looking at it for an hour, Di Chen suddenly felt a surge of scholar''s power surging into his body, and when Di Chen looked again, he felt that he was one step closer to King Wen.


    Di Chen was immediately overjoyed. Previously, when he intentionally read books to break through the realm of King Wen, there was no effect. However, this time, he did not think that breaking through his current realm would actually be raised by a level.


    Di Chen continued to look, but this time, Di Chen found that he was unable to break through no matter how hard he tried. Actually, this was also because Di Chen was also subconsciously holding onto the book, trying to break through to the next realm.


    Di Chen could only give up, he closed the book, and just as he was about to leave, a man and woman suddenly blocked Di Chen''s path.


    Normal omniscience and fragrant snow.


    "It''s you guys," Di Chen said as his brows rose.


    Xiang Xue stared deadly at Di Chen and said: "The one who killed Xiang Ling will have you. This time, without Liu Jingjing protecting you, I want to see how you escape."


    Hong Zhao also sighed. "If I were you, I would have continued hiding in the residential area. How could I have run out here?"


    Di Chen frowned: "You guys are really persistent, this matter was originally because your sister and the others went overboard and killed all the villagers for something that they did not even need, I should have killed them, but I did not expect you guys to be even more excessive, to actually kill all the villagers, I did not go find trouble with you, but you two came looking for trouble with me instead?"


    Xiang Xue mocked, "Don''t speak so righteously of yourself. If you wanted revenge, you would have come looking for us already. You just didn''t dare."


    Before, Li Yuan had already used the deaths of the villagers to anger Di Chen, so he thought that he could lure Di Chen out of the residential area, but the result was different from what they imagined. Unexpectedly, Di Chen did not come out, and Xiang Xue had thought that she had misjudged Di Chen, because in her heart, Di Chen was not a person who liked to fight for justice.


    "Although you don''t dare, I can see that you really hate this matter. Right now, I''ll give you a chance. I want to see if you can grasp it or not."


    As Xiang Xue spoke, she took a step towards Di Chen, took out her Spirit Sword, and chopped at him. "Die."


    Di Chen was not afraid of Xiang Xue and the rest, he just felt that killing Li Yuan would take revenge for the villagers. He did not want to go overboard with the matter, but now these fellows were all pestering him.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen bellowed, and with a single word, Xiang Xue''s body broke through the barrier, imprisoned in the air like a sculpture. Only her two eyeballs remained.


    "Our bodies!" Xiang Xue exclaimed in shock. "What happened? What did you do to me?"


    Di Chen looked at Xiang Xue coldly. Without saying a word, he suddenly took a step forward and punched Xiang Xue.


    "Xiang Xue, get out of the way," Hong Zhao shouted in surprise, but Xiang Xue didn''t seem to hear him and just stood there without moving.


    He pointed at the center of his brows, then a red sword shot out from between his eyebrows, flying straight towards Di Chen. This was his Sword Martial Spirit.


    Di Chen did not dodge, but coldly looked at the sword, and just as it was about to hit Di Chen, the sword suddenly stopped, and hung in mid air, like Xiang Xue, it did not move.


    "Impossible," Hong Qi realized that she was unable to control the sword no matter what, but she did not think that there would be another technique that could imprison her Sword Martial Spirit.


    At this time, Di Chen also rushed to Xiang Xue''s front, and smashed Xiang Xue''s body with his fist, directly sending her flying. Xiang Xue rolled over a dozen times on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood, being beaten to death.


    Di Chen could not really be considered a true warrior, but his power was so great that ordinary people were unable to withstand this punch.

 C137

    "Xiang Xue!" Hong Zhao rushed over and helped Xiang Xue up. She found that although Xiang Xue was severely injured, her life wasn''t in danger. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.


    Di Chen looked at Hong Zhao and said: "I only made my move to tell her that she is not my opponent, and I will let her go this time, but if she still continues to pester me, then don''t blame me for being impolite."


    "I guarantee that she won''t find trouble with you," Hong Zhao felt that this was the fault of Xiang Xue and the others. The reason he was on Xiang Xue''s side was because he liked Xiang Xue very much, and coupled with the fact that he was clearly aware that he was no match for Di Chen this time around, he did not plan to pursue this matter further.


    "I ¡­" Xiang Xue wasn''t willing to give up, but now that she was so heavily injured, she couldn''t even speak.


    Di Chen didn''t even look at Xiang Xue, and directly turned and left.


    Xiang Xue still wanted to take revenge, but the moment she moved, her body would feel excruciating pain. She could not move at all, all she could do was watch Di Chen leave.


    "Forget it," Hong Zhao comforted: "Just now, you also felt Di Chen''s strength, he did not use any of his spirit energy, his strength is probably even stronger than that Liu Jingjing, the two of us together are not his match."


    Although Xiang Xue was not convinced, she knew clearly that Hong Zhao was right, Di Chen had defeated her in one move, but although Liu Jingjing had defeated her, she was still injured, and compared to her, Di Chen was much more terrifying.


    The two of them did not feel any energy fluctuations coming from Di Chen just now. His cultivation technique was very strange, which made the two of them think about whether or not Li Yuan really died under this person''s hands.


    Hong Zhao carried Xiang Xue on his back and prepared to leave. But at this moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, looking at them with a playful expression.


    "You are?" Hong Zhao had never seen this person before, but he could see the provocation in their eyes.


    "You must be Senior Brother Hong Zhao," Zuo Qing said with a playful expression. "I heard that you are the strongest person among all of Famous Sword Academy''s Lifestealer Realm, so I specifically came to ask you for guidance."


    How could Hong Zhao not understand the other party''s identity? He calmly replied, "I don''t have the time to fight with you right now. I''m sorry."


    As he spoke, he carried Xiang Xue and circled around Zuo Qing.


    Zuo Qing stepped in front of Hong Zhao, and laughed: "Many people in Famous Sword Academy praise your strength, I have always been looking forward to sparring with you, how can you run when you see me, don''t worry, I will not destroy your martial soul, I will not hurt you, do not be afraid."


    Hong Zhao was not afraid of Zuo Qing, he just did not want to fight with him, but Zuo Qing had underestimated him.


    Hong Zhao stared at Zuo Qing for a while, and continued to leave.


    Zuo Qing did not stop her this time and laughed: "I can tell that you like the girl in your arms very much. I think you must be afraid of losing to her because of your dignity, how about you send her back first, I''ll wait here for you, how about it?"


    Even if he had a good temper, he would still be angry, and had insulted him right in front of Xiang Xue. He placed Xiang Xue beside a tree and said softly, "Rest for a while, I''ll be right back."


    Although Xiang Xue was usually very cold to the Great Proclamation, she actually still liked the Great Proclamation. At this moment, she was naturally somewhat worried about the Great Proclamation, but she still couldn''t say anything.


    Hong Zhao walked in front of Zuo Qing and said in a low voice: "I heard that you destroyed Bai Qian''s martial soul and defeated Mu Chen. It seems to be very powerful.


    Zuo Qing laughed, he wanted to force Hong Zhao to fight with him, but now that Hong Zhao could not take the provocation anymore, he felt proud of himself, without saying a word, he took a step towards Hong Zhao, and threw a punch towards him.


    Hong Si spirit energy gushed out, and clashed with Zuo Qing''s attack, the two of them seemed to have the same strength, and the two of them were pushed back a few steps at the same time.


    "You have some strength, and sure enough, you didn''t disappoint me," Zuo Qing seemed to be very satisfied with Hong Zhao''s performance. She punched out once more, and a wolf shadow rushed out of his fist to bite Hong Zhao.


    Hong Zhao could tell that this attack was very powerful, so she did not dare be careless. She quickly pulled out a sword and thrust forward, a Sword Qi shooting out from the sword, the Sword Qi clashing with the wolf shadow, with a pfft sound, both of them disintegrated.


    Zuo Qing threw his fist once again, each of his punches was capable of releasing one of the wolf shadow s, while Hong Zhao kept on releasing sword qi, and one after another, explosions came from between the two of them, rippling outwards, the two of them were completely competing in spirit force, but very quickly, Hong Zhao could not hold on anymore, the speed at which he shot out the sword qi was getting slower and slower, but Zuo Qing was still frantically using his wolf shadow.


    "Why does this guy have so much elemental energy?" Hong Zhao was surprised to find that Zuo Qing''s spirit energy was as strong as if it could not be used up.


    Roar!


    Just then, a wolf shadow rushed towards Hong Zhao, but this time, Hong Zhao could no longer resist, and was struck directly by the wolf shadow. Her entire body was instantly flipped over, and after rolling on the ground for more than ten times, she stopped, his throat tasted something sweet, and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "You''re only so-so." Hong Zhao laughed, "Your strength is only slightly stronger than Mu Chen''s."


    Hong Zhao forced herself to stand up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she tapped the center of her brows, and another red sword shot towards Zuo Qing.


    "Has the martial soul finally been used?" Zuo Qing laughed, and threw a punch once again. Similarly, he sent a wolf shadow towards the Sword Martial Spirit, he wanted to test the might of the Sword Martial Spirit.


    Pfft!


    The red sword directly pierced through the wolf shadow, causing it to be unable to withstand a single blow. Then, the sword continued to fly towards Zuo Qing, this time, it was too late for Zuo Qing to block, the sword directly struck his shoulder, causing him to fly more than ten meters away.


    However, he was not angry, but was instead excited. He looked at Hong Zhao and said: "I take back what I said before, you are many times stronger than Mu Chen, but you still can''t win against me."


    As he spoke, he pointed at his brow and a two-headed, blood-red wolf came out of his forehead. It opened its mouth and tried to bite him.


    "Two-headed wolf martial soul," Hong Zhao''s expression changed. This two-headed wolf martial soul should be the stronger martial soul among all the beasts, at least at the 20th place. Hong Zhao really did not expect Zuo Qing to be such a martial soul, so he immediately controlled the Sword Martial Spirit to welcome the two-headed wolf.


    The twin headed wolf bit onto the sword Sword Martial Spirit fiercely, causing the Sword Martial Spirit to collapse on the spot, unable to even take a single blow.


    "My martial soul," Hong Zhao''s expression changed, his own martial soul was actually destroyed?


    Then, Zuo Qing controlled the Two-headed Wolf to bite at Hong Zhao again. This time, Hong Zhao was no longer able to resist and was immediately bitten by the Twin-headed Wolf, and then thrown out fiercely by it.


    Hong Zhao screamed miserably. One of her arms had been bitten off and blood was gushing out.


    "Great omen ¡­" Xiang Xue''s face was filled with horror. She wanted to help Hong Zhao, but she couldn''t move at all.


    Zuo Qing withdrew his and laughed: "I am truly sorry. I did not want to destroy your martial soul, but your strength is not bad and I do not dare to be careless. I accidentally destroyed your martial soul, do not blame me."


    "You ¡­" How could he not know that Zuo Qing had purposely destroyed his martial soul? But he was not strong enough, so what could he say?


    "However, you being able to force me to use the martial soul is already not bad. You can be ranked within our Clear Water Academy, but it''s just that you met me. Rest well, you are a person with a bright future."


    Zuo Qing laughed, then took out a small bottle and threw it at Hong Zhao: "There are three Great Recovery Pills inside that can fully recover your injuries, so I won''t disturb you."


    After saying that, Zuo Qing turned and left, not wanting to stay any longer.


    He was so angry that he almost wanted to throw away those Great Recovery Pills, but Great Recovery Pill was still rational in his eyes. He opened the cap of the bottle, took two Great Recovery Pills, and started to recover his arm at a speed visible to the naked eye, after that, he fed the remaining Great Recovery Pill to Xiang Xue.


    After Xiang Xue had consumed the Great Recovery Pill, her injuries had finally recovered. She looked at Hong Zhao and asked anxiously, "How are you?"


    Hong Zhao said: "Although my injuries have recovered, the martial soul needs to cultivate anew."


    "This guy is too much, we can''t let him go." Xiang Xue was so angry that she wanted to seek Zuo Qing for revenge.


    Hong Zhao pulled Xiang Xue and sighed: "Forget it, this Zuo Qing is much stronger than me, I''m afraid that even if the two of us combined forces, we will still not be his match."


    "But ¡­" Xiang Xue was still a little unwilling. She knew that the reason Hong Zhao was willing to fight against Zuo Qing was entirely because of her, but now his martial soul had been destroyed.


    "During this period of time, the academy kept saying that I was the strongest out of the academy''s Lifestealer Realm, and Teacher Dongfang Yue also wanted me to fight against Zuo Qing. It''s only a matter of time before Zuo Qing destroys my martial soul."


    In reality, the direct disciples of the Famous Sword Academy were much stronger than Hongwei, but Dongfang Yue had allowed Hongwei to battle against Zuo Qing just to conceal the identities of these people. He was completely using Hongwei, and did not even care whether Hongwei would be injured.


    Xiang Xue also let out a long sigh. Although the teachers normally seemed to pay attention to her, in reality, she knew that the only people who were truly concerned about the Famous Sword Academy were the direct disciples. Hong Zhao was right, these people were not taken seriously.


    The two of them returned to the residential area and the moment they returned, they immediately saw Di Chen, who was sitting next to a tree and reading a book. Xiang Xue couldn''t help but want to make a move when she saw him, so Hong Zhao pulled Xiang Xue back and shook his head.


    "En," Di Chen raised his eyebrows, and suddenly looked at Hong Zhao: "Your spirit energy is much weaker than before, your martial soul was destroyed?"


    Hong Zhao was startled, she did not expect Di Chen to be able to see through this, so he did not hide anything and said: "That''s right, after you left, we met Zuo Qing from Clear Water Academy, he insisted on fighting with me, I could only helplessly accept the challenge, I did not expect him to be stronger than me, and destroy my martial soul."


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself that since this Zuo Qing could destroy the Great Mythical Beast, he must not be weak.

 C138

    Hong Zhao sighed: "I''m afraid that only those hidden direct disciples in Famous Sword Academy can defeat Zuo Qing, none of us ordinary students can defeat him."


    This Di Chen was so much stronger than him, he basically did not have the strength to fight him, if it was him, he might be able to defeat Zuo Qing.


    However, Hong Zhao did not say that. He could tell that Di Chen did not like to fight, and he looked at Di Chen with a strange gaze. This fellow could actually read books, which made people unable to see through him.


    The moment Zuo Qing returned to the courtyard, he saw Ping Song standing in the courtyard, dragging his face to look at him. Zuo Qing knew that he could not hide the matter regarding his battle with Hong Zhao from Ping Song.


    Ping Song reprimanded: "Did you go and fight with that Hong Zhao alone?"


    Zuo Qing said with a little fear: "Everyone in the Famous Sword Academy says that Hongwei is powerful. Actually, I just want to see how powerful he is."


    Ping Song thought for a while and asked: "And the result?"


    Zuo Qing laughed complacently when he thought about how badly Hong Zhao had lost, and said: "I originally thought he was very strong, but I didn''t expect that his strength was too weak. I destroyed the martial soul."


    "What?" Ping Song was startled, and immediately became furious: "I told you before that even if you were to fight, you shouldn''t go overboard, after all this is the Famous Sword Academy, and the person who came here was a guest. You previously destroyed a student''s martial soul, and now you have destroyed a grand martial soul, how do you want me to explain to them?"


    Zuo Qing muttered in disapproval: "Battles are inherently dangerous, who asked him to be so weak, I wasn''t careful, and I can''t blame me."


    Hearing that Zuo Qing did not know how to repent, Ping Song was so angry that he wanted to slap him in the face.


    At this time, Gu Yun Sword advised: "You know Zuo Qing''s character as well, he will always go all out when fighting, and has no sense of propriety. Furthermore, during this period of time, all of the students in Famous Sword Academy have said that only those big shots can defeat Zuo Qing, so it''s not his fault that Zuo Qing destroyed his martial soul."


    He looked at Zuo Qing again, and reprimanded him: "But you are indeed going too far this time, defeating him is fine, why destroy his martial soul."


    In the end, Zuo Qing did not dare to go against his teacher, and said in a low voice: "Zuo Qing knows his wrongs, but I also gave them three Great Recovery Pills; this is enough to heal their injuries."


    Hearing these words, Ping Song''s anger had finally subsided a bit, and he looked at Zuo Qing: "During this period of time, you should just obediently stay here, and don''t go anywhere else, and don''t go too far in the future either. There''s always someone outside the world, and there''s always someone outside the world.


    Zuo Qing made an "oh" sound, and did not seem to refute Ping Song, but in his heart, he was rather disapproving, thinking that if he could not even defeat Hong Zhao, who else could defeat him in the Famous Sword Academy, but of course, he could not say these words out loud, and took the chance to return to his room.


    How could Ping Song not understand Zuo Qing''s thoughts? He sighed slightly, thinking that Zuo Qing would definitely suffer a loss sooner or later, but he didn''t listen to his persuasion, so Ping Song had no other choice.


    This time, the fight between Zuo Qing and Hong Zhao was not official, not only did Zuo Qing initiate and cause trouble, he had also severely injured Hong Zhao, so Ping Song had to think of a way to explain this to Dongfang Yue, so he went to visit him.


    "Dean Ping Song, what''s the rush?" Dongfang Yue seemed to be very anxious and doubtful.


    Ping Song said awkwardly: "It''s like this, just now when Zuo Qing went to find Hongwei for a duel, he accidentally destroyed Hongwei''s martial soul again. This time, I specifically came to apologize to Brother Dongfang."


    Dongfang Yue was shocked, he did not expect that he would not even be able to defeat Zuo Qing.''s power seemed to be far beyond his imagination, but he did not seem to care, and laughed: "Young people''s impulses are such that injuries are unavoidable.


    Now, all of the students of the Famous Sword Academy said that only Hong Zhao could defeat Dongfang Yue, but when Dongfang Yue heard that Hong Zhao was defeated, he did not care at all, which made him feel that it was strange. However, after thinking for a while, he seemed to understand that the strongest people in the Famous Sword Academy were actually the direct disciples, so he would naturally not care if Hong Zhao was defeated, just like how Li Yuan previously did not plan to find out the reason why she died.


    "Oh yeah," Dongfang Yue changed the topic of the conversation: "Previously, President Zhao Fusheng sent a message, he still has some matters to attend to outside and might not return in the near future, so he decided to let me handle this competition, I think we should make a decision as soon as possible, what do you think?"


    Ping Song thought that Zhao Fusheng did not really put the Clear Water Academy in his eyes, but he did not care much, and laughed: "Alright, in my opinion, it will be the day after tomorrow."


    "Alright," Dongfang Yue laughed, the people from the Clear Water Academy had already been in the Famous Sword Academy for a few days and had no intention of leaving, it seemed like they would not leave until they start a fair battle, where Dongfang Yue prepared to hold this battle between the two schools as soon as possible.


    "Then I won''t stay any longer." Ping Song''s main purpose for coming here was still to arrange the competition between the two academies as soon as possible. Since he had already achieved his goal, he naturally wouldn''t stay here any longer.


    Dongfang Yue sent Ping Song away, and only after he left, Dongfang Yue frowned, although he did not care about Hong Zhao winning or losing, but the fact that Hong Zhao losing so miserably had surprised him, how powerful was Zuo Qing, he was afraid that there were many people stronger than Zuo Qing in Clear Water Academy.


    Not long after Ping Song left, Nian Bai went back to Dongfang Yue''s room, where Dongfang Yue told him about Zuo Qing defeating Hong Zhao.


    Nian Bai was surprised hearing that. "It looks like none of the normal disciples are Zuo Qing''s match, I think we should let the direct disciples come out to fight, otherwise, we might lose miserably."


    "No," Dongfang Yue rejected on the spot, "We must keep the identities of those direct disciples confidential. They are the key to our victory in this battle against the three major sects."


    Niu Bai frowned. "But the people from the Clear Water Academy know that we still have a group of hidden secret disciples. It doesn''t seem necessary to keep these disciples'' identities."


    Dongfang Yue said calmly: "In any case, we cannot let this batch of disciples reveal our identities, and even more so, we cannot let them reveal our strength. The reason the Famous Sword Academy can become one of the three great academies is because we need to nurture this group of secret disciples.


    "Since it''s like this, then let Liu Jingjing accept the challenge. This Liu Jingjing''s identity cannot be kept a secret, and her strength is even stronger than Hong Zhao. She might be able to defeat Zuo Qing."


    Back then, everyone had personally witnessed Xun Qin taking in Liu Jingjing as her direct disciple. Everyone in the academy knew about her strength and identity, and it wasn''t a secret.


    Dongfang Yue did not think of Liu Jingjing at the beginning, but after thinking about it, he still rejected him. Liu Jingjing had already trained with Xun Qin for a period of time, and her strength had increased quite a bit, and during this period of time, she would be able to break through the Martial King Realm very soon, and at this time, she would be coming out to accept the challenge and disrupt her cultivation.


    Nian Bai sighed secretly. It seemed that he would lose face in tomorrow''s competition of Famous Sword Academy s.


    Today was the day of the official competition between the Famous Sword Academy and the Clear Water Academy, and the plaza was filled with students from the Famous Sword Academy. From Lifestealer Realm to Martial King, there were several people standing in the middle, and those were the students of the Clear Water Academy.


    "Yesterday, I think Hong Zhao was defeated by Zuo Qing. He was the strongest out of all of our Lifestealer Realm, looks like none of us in Famous Sword Academy could win against him."


    Yeah, I never thought that Zuo Qing would be this strong, I wonder if Teacher Dongfang Yue would send someone up on stage today.


    The Clear Water Academy had already been in the Famous Sword Academy for several days, and during this time, both sides had already experienced several informal battles. The result was that the Famous Sword Academy suffered a crushing defeat, and Hong Zhao and Zuo Qing had also engaged in a battle yesterday, but in the end, even the student who everyone in the Famous Sword Academy thought she was the most had suffered a crushing defeat, and even her martial soul had been destroyed.


    Di Chen was standing right in the middle of them, and upon hearing their discussion, he was slightly speechless, thinking to himself, how powerful is Zuo Qing, to actually be able to cause all of these people to become like this.


    "Sigh." Bai Qian let out a long sigh: "It''s hard to say about the other realms'' competition this time, but it seems like our Famous Sword Academy will lose face in this competition to steal our lives."


    Di Chen asked doubtfully, "Didn''t they say that there are still some direct disciples in the academy?"


    Bai Qian laughed bitterly: "These new disciples are the academy''s secret students, the academy won''t let them out so easily."


    Di Chen said with a strange expression: "Could it be that they would rather lose this round?"


    Bai Qian said: "The competition between the three great academies is the most important. This kind of competition is at most a probing between the two sects, it''s not a big deal."


    Di Chen suddenly realized that the competition this time round would probably cause the Famous Sword Academy to lose a lot of face, at least in the Lifestealer Realm Realm.


    Seated at the very front of the plaza was a row of teachers, led by Ping Song and Dongfang Yue.


    Dongfang Yue looked at Ping Song and laughed: "How about we begin?"


    Ping Song smiled and nodded, then looked at Zuo Qing, signalling him to step out. Although Zuo Qing had defeated the one with the strongest aura in the Lifestealer Realm, this competition would still start from the Lifestealer Realm.


    Zuo Qing walked to the very center, first bowing to Ping Song and Dongfang Yue, then looking at the people from the Famous Sword Academy, he shouted out loud. "I wonder which senior brother would dare to challenge us?"


    Hong Zhao had lost to Zuo Qing before, and no one was willing to come out now. This Zuo Qing''s attacks were too ruthless, if they were to be careless, the martial soul would be destroyed by him.

 C139

    Nobody dared to move. No one dared to say a word, and no one dared to step on the stage.


    Zuo Qing scoffed, then continued: "I don''t know which one of you can go up on stage to seek guidance, I know that my methods were a bit overboard previously, but inevitably there will be injuries in the battle, and this cannot be blamed on me. But this time, I will take care of myself, and definitely will not destroy your martial soul, you guys don''t have to be afraid of me."


    No need to be afraid of you?


    These words were what Zuo Qing said to agitate Hong Zhao, and the people below the stage wanted to curse him out of anger when they heard this, but this time, they did not curse out loud, since Hong Zhao was not even her opponent, how could they beat Zuo Qing? Zuo Qing said that he would not destroy other people''s martial soul, but Hong Zhao''s martial soul was not destroyed by him?


    Zuo Qing looked around, seeing that no one replied, he raised his eyebrow and said: "Such a big Famous Sword Academy, with so many Lifestealer Realm disciples, does no one have the courage to compete on stage?"


    The Lifestealer Realm students below the stage were still silent. Even the Martial King Realm students were a little angry from this display, for an outsider to humiliate the Famous Sword Academy in front of so many people, and not even daring to step up the stage to be provoked?


    He knew that he would definitely lose this Lifestealer Realm competition, so he was originally prepared to let this matter go, but he never thought that no one would actually dare to go up on stage.


    Ping Song watched this scene calmly and did not say a word.


    Niu Bai could not take it anymore, and whispered to Dongfang Yue: "How about we make those direct disciples come out, it''s too embarrassing."


    Dongfang Yue was also a little hesitant at this moment. He thought for a moment, then looked at Xun Qin and asked: "Then is Liu Jingjing here?"


    He wanted Liu Jingjing to go up on stage. After all, Liu Jingjing''s identity wasn''t a secret, and Liu Jingjing might not lose if she went on stage.


    Xun Qin shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Jingjing is currently assaulting the Martial King Realm and is still in closed-door training. She cannot fight."


    Dongfang Yue shook his head slightly. Other than Liu Jingjing, he really did not know who else he should bring up the stage, so those direct disciples were definitely out of the question.


    Di Chen said in a speechless manner: "This Zuo Qing is really arrogant. With his arrogant nature, sooner or later, he will die a miserable death."


    Di Chen suddenly thought of his own way of looking at life. He rubbed his eyes and a light flashed across them, he immediately saw Zuo Qing''s body emitting a black halo, which meant that Zuo Qing''s fate in the future would be very miserable. The miserable ending was not only the ending, but also the end of Zuo Qing''s life would be more painful.


    Zi Yan said angrily: "He previously destroyed Bai Qian''s martial soul, and now he actually dares to be so arrogant. No, I cannot let him go, I''ll go."


    Bai Qian pulled Zi Yan back and reminded him: "Forget it, you are not his opponent. You might be destroyed by him."


    "But," Zi Yan was still unwilling, "I really can''t stand this guy going too far. I must teach him a lesson anyway.


    Bai Qian still wanted to advise Zi Yan, but Zi Yan seemed to have made up his mind. He no longer gave Bai Qian the chance to speak, he rushed up the stage.


    "Zi Yan..." Bai Qian couldn''t stop them even if he wanted to.


    "I have come to challenge you," Zi Yan said as he looked at Zuo Qing.


    Seeing Zi Yan, the spectators were all stunned. Although this Zi Yan had a cultivation base at the ninth stage of Life Seizing, his strength was only so-so, yet she still dared to go up on stage?


    However, everyone knew what was going on. Zi Yan liked Bai Qian a lot, and when Bai Qian had previously destroyed the martial soul, he naturally wanted to take revenge for him.


    Dongfang Yue''s expression was originally very ugly, and only after seeing Zi Yan stage did he finally let out a sigh of relief. He knew that Zi Yan was no match for Zuo Qing, but as long as there was someone on stage, he would not lose too much face.


    Nian Bai, Xun Qin and the rest all shook their heads. They thought that Zi Yan was probably going to suffer again.


    "You?" Zuo Qing curiously sized up Zi Yan, and he could tell that Zi Yan''s spirit energy was not dense, as he was the weakest when fighting with him. laughed disdainfully: "Are you sure you want to compete with me?"


    Zi Yan bowed towards Dongfang Yue, and without saying a word, waited for Dongfang Yue''s consent before taking out his Spirit Sword and thrusting towards Zuo Qing.


    "Is that all?" Zuo Qing could tell that Zi Yan''s strike wasn''t strong. After smashing his fist out, a wolf shadow roared towards Zi Yan.


    Zi Yan''s sword directly struck the wolf shadow, but it was most appropriate that the power behind Zi Yan''s sword was too weak. In the instant the two clashed, Zi Yan was bounced back by a huge force, and heavily smashed onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. However, the wolf shadow was also defeated at the same time.


    "You want to challenge me with just this bit of strength? You''re underestimating me too much," Zuo Jing punched twice in succession, and this time, two wolf shadow s roared towards Zi Yan.


    Zi Yan immediately tapped between his brows and a Spirit Sword flew out from between his brows, shooting towards the two Di Ying.


    This Sword Martial Spirit was much stronger than normal Spirit Sword. The two wolf shadow were defeated at the same time, but the power of the Sword Martial Spirit was also weaker.


    Zuo Qing started laughing. Previously, one of his punches was enough to destroy another person''s martial soul, but he did not expect that this time, there were not even two punches. He immediately used three more punches, and the three wolf shadow s roared at the Sword Martial Spirit.


    Rumble ¡­


    After three consecutive explosions, the Sword Martial Spirit was finally unable to endure the might of the third explosion and was completely blown away. Her martial soul was also destroyed, and at the same time, Zi Yan was flipped over onto the ground by a powerful force, unable to stand up anymore.


    Zuo Qing laughed: "Your strength is weaker than the previous few, you''re not my match, admit defeat."


    Bai Qian immediately shouted: "Zi Yan, come back, you can''t beat him."


    Zi Yan turned around and looked at Bai Qian. After thinking for a while, he still did not intend to give up. She forced himself up and walked towards Zuo Qing.


    Zuo Qing punched out again, and a wolf shadow knocked onto Zi Yan''s body. Zi Yan was flipped over once again, but he was once again sent flying. She crazily rushed towards Zuo Qing, but every time he was pushed back, his body was filled with wounds, and the sight of his was too horrible to look at.


    Bai Qian watched anxiously, but if the opponent did not admit defeat, then the battle would not be over, so Bai Qian could not rush to the stage.


    Everyone raised their eyebrows slightly. They knew that Zi Yan did not want to give up because he wanted to avenge Bai Qian, but this Zuo Qing had already won, yet he still allowed Zi Yan to stay on the stage. He was simply treating Zi Yan as a plaything.


    Dongfang Yue''s brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Nian Bai and Xun Qin also watched helplessly. If this goes on, Zi Yan would probably die.


    Gu Yun Jian shook his head and looked at Dean Ping Song, meaning that Zuo Qing had gone overboard and wanted him to stop Zuo Qing.


    "Enough," Ping Song suddenly berated: "Zuo Qing, you have already won."


    Zuo Qing laughed: "But Dean Ping Song, she is unwilling to give up, what else can I do?"


    Ping Song saw that Zuo Qing was actually still so pleased, and his face sank. His words were completely ridiculing Famous Sword Academy, and in front of so many people, he could only ridicule Famous Sword Academy in front of him.


    Zuo Qing saw that Ping Song was really angry, he shrunk his head and said honestly: "I know."


    Blocking his fist from smashing towards Zi Yan, a gust of wind directly blew Zi Yan out of the stage.


    Bai Qian reacted quickly and hurriedly caught Zi Yan, took out a Great Recovery Pill and fed it to Zi Yan. Only after taking the Great Recovery Pill did Zi Yan''s face recover slightly.


    "Zi Yan, are you alright?" Bai Qian asked anxiously, this was the first time he had seen someone''s cigarette being injured this badly.


    Zi Yan felt a little wronged: "I''m fine, but I can''t beat him, the martial soul was destroyed."


    Bai Qian clenched his teeth. His relationship with Zi Yan had always been good, the two of them had cultivated together, and now that Zi Yan had been destroyed by the martial soul, their injuries were so heavy. He really wanted to take revenge for Zi Yan, but he did not have the strength to do so.


    Di Chen looked at Zi Yan calmly. He had initially thought that Zi Yan had held back his strength, but now that it seemed like he did not, his gaze landed on Zuo Qing once again, although this matter was unrelated to him, and he did not wish to engage in this kind of meaningless battle, but Zuo Qing was truly too much. He truly could not accept it, and Zi Yan and Bai Qian could be considered to be the first group of friends that had entered the Famous Sword Academy.


    "Is there anyone else who dares to come up?" At this time, Zuo Qing who was on the stage laughed proudly: "I lost a lot of my spirit energy just now, this battle is fair to you, you guys shouldn''t still be afraid, right?"


    Everyone below the stage listened to what Zuo Qing had said, but they knew that Zuo Qing had a dense amount of spirit energy, the battle with Zi Yan did not take up much of his spirit energy, and if they went up, the martial soul would still be destroyed by him, so no one dared to go up onto the stage.


    Seeing that Zuo Qing was so arrogant, even Dongfang Yue couldn''t help but want to teach him a lesson. But as a teacher, he endured it and didn''t want his direct disciples to step in.


    "This battle of Lifestealer Realm ¡­" Dongfang Yue stood up, wanting to announce that Clear Water Academy had won.


    "Let me try," Just then, Di Chen walked onto the stage.


    Seeing Di Chen on stage, Dongfang Yue was startled, he suddenly remembered that Di Chen was recommended by Principal Zhao Fusheng, but Marquis Di Chen was very low profile and never fought with anyone, he had almost forgotten about him previously, but seeing that he suddenly became interested, he thought that the person Zhao Fusheng recommended was not bad.


    "Alright," Dongfang Yue laughed, then sat back down.


    Nian Bai stared curiously at Di Chen and said, "This student seemed to have entered the competition grounds with Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao. He does not seem to have any spirit energy at all, how is he going to fight Zuo Qing?"


    Xun Qin was also puzzled: "That''s right, this doesn''t look like a martial artist at all. I really don''t understand why Vice Principal Zhao would recommend this person."


    Xun Qin only knew that Liu Jingjing seemed to like Di Chen a lot and she subconsciously thought that it was only because of Liu Jingjing that Di Chen could enter the Famous Sword Academy. After all, Liu Jingjing was just too strong, and she had not mentioned Di Chen to her during this period of time.


    Not only the few teachers, even the people below the stage were confused, this Di Chen seemed to be far stronger than what they could imagine, was he Lifestealer Realm?


    There were many direct disciples in the academy, but it was impossible for direct disciples to step onto the stage. Everyone thought that this person''s strength was probably not any weaker than a direct disciple.

 C140

    "This guy is new, right? How come he doesn''t have any elemental energy? Is he hiding or is he not a martial artist?"


    "I''m guessing he''s hidden himself. Otherwise, how would he dare to go on stage?"


    "But it''s impossible for a martial artist to completely hide his spirit energy. There really aren''t any spirit energy fluctuations in his body. He''s just like a normal person. Could it be that this guy is hiding some tricks?"


    Not many people recognized Di Chen, they only knew that he was a new student. However, this fellow''s appearance was not refined, and his body did not look as sturdy as a regular warrior. Even Hong Zhao was not Zuo Qing''s opponent, how could he fight against Zuo Qing?


    However, there were a few people in Famous Sword Academy who knew of Di Chen''s strength, for example Yang Yu and Hong Zhao, they had all personally experienced the terror of Di Chen, and thought that only Di Chen could defeat him.


    "It''s him?" Ping Song remembered Di Chen, he had met this person on the first day he entered the Famous Sword Academy, but he also did not feel any Yuan Power in Di Chen''s body, furthermore, this Di Chen was not like a warrior, he was as humble as a scholar, and had always given him a strange feeling. Since this guy dared to go up on the stage, then it must mean that he had some strength, and he wanted to see what exactly this person was hiding.


    "This guy gives me a very strange feeling. I keep having the feeling that this time Zuo Qing is going to suffer a loss."


    Gu Yun Jian frowned and said, "Principal Ping Song, do you want to stop him?"


    Ping Song waved his hand: "Do you feel it too, Zuo Qing''s words just now are too excessive, if Zuo Qing were to stop now, I am afraid that Famous Sword Academy will not agree, let us first take a look before we decide anything."


    Lone Cloud Sword secretly thought that was true, they could not just stop the battle after seeing that the other party was in danger, and the Famous Sword Academy would not agree.


    I seem to have some impression of who you are. "Zuo Qing was unable to recall who Di Chen was at the moment, and only said after staring blankly for a while," I remember now, I met you on the very first day I entered the Famous Sword Academy. I never expected that you would dare to challenge me again.


    Di Chen laughed, then extended his hand: "The person who has come is a guest, please come in first."


    Zuo Qing laughed out loud: "Please do as you wish, and I am truly worried about your strength, it is better if you go first."


    Di Chen did not refuse and rushed towards Zuo Qing like an arrow, throwing out a punch. However, this punch was very ordinary, there was not the slightest bit of spirit energy nor did it seem like a cultivation technique.


    "You''re courting death," Zuo Qing saw that there were no movements of spirit force in Di Chen''s body, and thought that he had underestimated him, he immediately punched out, and a wolf shadow roared towards Di Chen.


    Bang!


    When Di Chen''s fist landed on the wolf shadow, it instantly collapsed and could not withstand a single blow. However, Di Chen''s speed did not decrease at all, and continued to rush towards Zuo Qing.


    "What?" Zuo Qing was startled, this fellow actually used just the brute strength to block his cultivation technique?


    In the next moment, Di Chen was in front of Zuo Qing, but this time, Zuo Qing was unable to dodge in time, he was punched in the chest by Di Chen, causing his entire body to fly, and rolled over a dozen times before stopping, as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "So strong?" Seeing this, everyone was shocked, Zuo Qing''s technique was able to destroy martial soul s, but this guy did not even use his spirit energy to seriously injure Zuo Qing?


    Dongfang Yue did not seem to have expected this scene. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "The person Zhao Fusheng has recommended is indeed not bad, looks like this guy isn''t simple after all."


    He knew that Di Chen was a literati, but Di Chen did not use the power of a scholar just now. Instead, he used the brute strength to injure Zuo Qing.


    Nian Bai saw Dongfang Yue''s strange expression and asked curiously, "Dong Fang, do you know something about Di Chen?"


    Xun Qin was puzzled as well. "This Di Chen seems to be much stronger than ordinary people, how strange."


    A normal warrior''s power was limited, but Di Chen''s power was similar to a demonic beast''s, and just now, Xun Qin felt that he was like a demonic beast.


    Ping Song and Lone Cloud Sword looked at each other, the two of them had also noticed that Di Chen was abnormal, thinking that Zuo Qing could not possibly compare to him, seems like Zuo Qing was going to suffer a huge loss this time.


    Zuo Qing crawled back up. Originally, he thought that he could defeat his opponent with this punch, so he wiped off the blood and said: "I never thought that I had underestimated you.


    With that, he punched out once more, and wolf shadow s roared towards Di Chen one after another.


    When Di Chen punched out, these wolf shadow looked like they were vulnerable in front of Di Chen. He could easily destroy these wolf shadow, no matter how many punches Zuo Qing threw, it was useless.


    "This ¡­" Zuo Qing also realized that if he did that, it would just be a waste of his spirit energy. He was slightly angered in his heart, he had already consumed a lot of spirit energy, but the other party was still using brute strength s?


    Zuo Qing was also a person with good face, how could he accept such a thing? Slapping his body, a burst of elemental energy formed into a ten feet tall wolf shadow around his body, which then leaped towards Di Chen, and he shouted: "I see that you are not using much elemental energy this time."


    Di Chen knew that the brute strength would probably not be able to block this attack, so he immediately wrote the word "Break" in the direction of the wolf shadow.


    When the word "break" clashed with the wolf shadow, a loud explosion resounded, and the wolf shadow immediately collapsed. A ripple spread out and Zuo Qing was flipped over by the ripple, and his body felt like it had flipped over. This time, his injuries were even worse.


    "What kind of cultivation technique is this? It''s so powerful! Moreover, I still can''t sense any Yuan Power fluctuations coming from this fellow. What''s going on?"


    "This guy seems very relaxed. I''m afraid he''s even stronger than Hong Zhao."


    On one hand, it was because Di Chen had heavily injured Zuo Qing with such ease. On the other hand, the spectators had not seen Di Chen use his elemental energy, so they could not tell what realm he was in.


    Only Bai Qian was not surprised. He thought that Di Chen was able to stop the Demonic King before, so it was normal that this Zuo Qing was not his match. However, Di Chen''s performance still surpassed his imagination.


    Xiang Xue and Hong Zhao looked at each other, only then did the two understand that Di Chen had still protected their strength when they were fighting, if not he could have killed them easily.


    "This is?" Nian Bai was startled, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and looked at Dongfang Yue: "He is not a warrior?"


    "Not a fighter?" Xun Qin seemed to have thought of something as she said in a daze: "If he does not have any elemental energy fluctuations, then if she is not a warrior, then that means he is a literati?"


    Dongfang Yue laughed and nodded: "That''s right, previously Zhao Fusheng wrote that he was indeed a literati, but I never expected his strength to be so strong, seems like this guy is not simple."


    Xun Qin and Niu Bai took a deep breath. The two of them had never seen literati before, but why would literati enter?


    The two of them thought to themselves that they would have to ask this person when things were over.


    "Not good," Gu Yun Jian recognized Di Chen with a single glance and said anxiously, "Dean Ping Song, hurry up and make Zuo Qing admit defeat. This fellow is a literati, Zuo Qing will definitely suffer."


    How could Ping Song not tell that Di Chen was a literati? This could also explain why Di Chen did not use his elemental energy during battle; he should not have any elemental energy in his body.


    Ping Song looked at Zuo Qing and said: "Zuo Qing, you have lost, there is no need to compete anymore."


    "No," Zuo Qing said unhappily, "I haven''t lost yet."


    He had always been a proud person, so how could he admit defeat so easily? Zuo Qing simply did not care about Ping Song''s words.


    "I want to see how you withstand my Two-headed wolf martial soul, go swallow it," Zuo Qing shouted as he pointed at Di Chen, this time wanting to kill him.


    Ping Song had originally wanted to stop Zuo Qing, but not only did Zuo Qing not listen to his advice, he even used a martial soul. He slightly shook his head and thought to himself, Looks like this time Zuo Qing was really done for.


    Seeing Zuo Qing using the martial soul, Di Chen finally smiled. He had been waiting for this very moment.


    Di Chen did not move at all as he calmly looked at the two-headed wolf. After that, he simply wrote the word "freeze" in a single hand, and the two-headed wolf''s body suddenly stopped in front of Di Chen. It was as if it was staring at a still shot, and it could not move at all.


    "What''s going on?" Zuo Qing roared: Quickly devour him.


    However, no matter how heart-wrenching he was, the Two-headed Wolf did not budge. Di Chen then wrote the word "Slash" with one finger, and the two "Slash" seemed to transform into two large blades that rushed towards the Two-headed Wolf martial soul.


    "Don''t ¡­" Zuo Qing knew that Di Chen wanted to destroy his martial soul, so he screamed in panic and tried to take back his martial soul. However, his martial soul did not seem to listen to him and in the next moment, two large blades slashed across the Two-headed Wolf''s body.


    "My martial soul." Zuo Qing screamed in fear. Every time he fought, he would destroy someone else''s martial soul, but this time, his own martial soul was actually destroyed by someone else?


    It was at this time that someone shouted out from below the stage. Previously, Zuo Qing had defeated many people from the Famous Sword Academy in a row, but he had destroyed all of them with his martial soul, causing them to feel extremely aggrieved. Now that they saw Zuo Qing''s martial soul had been destroyed, they were naturally excited and excited, all of them shouting out loud.


    These shouts were like an insult to Zuo Qing. He could not stand the excitement and suddenly rushed towards Di Chen.


    Ping Song saw this scene and shook his head helplessly, thinking that Zuo Qing had already lost.


    Di Chen wrote the word ''freeze'' again, and just as he was about to reach Di Chen, he suddenly stopped, unable to move his body. Previously, he was still curious about why his martial soul could not move, but now, he finally felt it, and his face filled with fear.


    Di Chen said as he punched Zuo Qing on the shoulder. Zuo Qing immediately flew towards the people of Clear Water Academy and the others, and one of them was extremely quick to catch Zuo Qing. This time, Zuo Qing no longer had the strength to fight.


    Ping Song heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Di Chen did not use too much force. However, if Zuo Qing''s martial soul was destroyed, it would waste a lot of time recultivating. This was equivalent to destroying a warrior.

 C141

    "Dean Ping, I ¡­" This was the first time Zuo Qing lost so badly and his martial soul was destroyed by someone so much that tears flowed from his eyes. He was still young after all, and couldn''t take the blow.


    Ping Song smiled as he comforted her, "It''s alright, the martial soul can be destroyed so we can cultivate again. At worst, we can just spend more time in the future."


    But everyone knew that these were only Ping Song''s words of consolation, how could cultivating the martial soul be so easy?


    Zuo Qing nodded, but he was still a little unwilling at the thought of Di Chen destroying the martial soul.


    Ping Song and the others only smiled when they saw that Zuo Qing had calmed down: "Your strength is not bad, there are not many people in our Clear Water Academy who can compare to you."


    Di Chen bowed and said: "I was lucky enough to win, I wonder if there is anyone else in Clear Water Academy who would like to fight with me once."


    Earlier, Zuo Qing was the one who requested for the Famous Sword Academy to come up for the competition, but now, the tables had turned. The Famous Sword Academy was waiting for the Clear Water Academy to come challenge him, and Di Chen had earned enough face for the Famous Sword Academy.


    "No need," Ping Song laughed, then looked at Dongfang Yue and said: "We have lost this competition in Lifestealer Realm, I ¡­"


    At this time, another youth walked out and interrupted Ping Song''s words. This youth''s age was around the same as Di Chen''s, and he looked to be extremely handsome. This time, two Lifestealer Realm practitioners had come to Clear Water Academy, and they were the other person who was close by, who was also Zuo Qing''s big brother.


    Ping Song raised his eyebrows. He knew that Zuo Jin wanted to take revenge for Zuo Qing, but he didn''t think that he would win against Di Chen just like that. He said: "We have already lost, there''s no need to compete anymore."


    Su Yun refused to give up and said: "Principal Ping Song, we came to Famous Sword Academy to learn this time, even if we lose, it doesn''t matter. This senior brother is very strong, I want to ask him for guidance to increase my cultivation."


    His words were tactful, not to say revenge, but advice, causing Famous Sword Academy to have no reason to reject him, but Ping Song still did not want to agree.


    However, Dongfang Yue laughed and said: "It''s normal for students to spar with each other. You guys rarely come here, feel free to spar."


    Previously, Zuo Qing had defeated a few people from Famous Sword Academy in a row, but now, a Di Chen had finally appeared. Of course, Di Chen wanted to show off her Famous Sword Academy''s strength.


    Seeing that Dongfang Yue had even opened his mouth, it was no longer easy for him to reject. In the end, he nodded his head.


    He bowed towards Dongfang Yue, then walked in front of Di Chen and calmly said: "Please advise."


    Di Chen made a gesture of invitation. He was a scholar, he could judge a person''s strength just by the way they speak and the way they speak. This fellow spoke decently, it seemed like he was not a simple person.


    His right foot took a step forward, and with a stride, he arrived in front of Di Chen. He smashed down with his fist, which contained no Origin Energy, and was also pure strength.


    Di Chen only felt a gust of strong wind blowing towards him. He did not dare to be careless, so he also punched with all his might towards the right.


    Bang!


    The two fists collided, and with a crunching sound, the bones were knocked back several steps at the same time. It seemed that their strength was about the same.


    However, he didn''t expect that the other party was actually not weaker than him. He curiously asked: "You don''t look like a martial artist at all. Your body seems very weak, but I didn''t think that your strength would be surprisingly strong."


    Di Chen laughed: "My cultivation method is different from others, I only have a little more strength."


    While other people''s power could slowly cultivate and improve, Di Chen''s power could absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood s, so Di Chen''s power was strong, but the power at the right side that was on the same level as Di Chen''s, made Di Chen very surprised. He had never met a power as strong as Di Chen''s.


    He knew that he wouldn''t be able to injure Di Chen with just his strength. His spirit energy gushed into the palm of his hand and he punched out once more. A tiger''s roar sounded out as a tiger''s shadow dashed out from his arm towards Di Chen.


    This was the same cultivation technique that Zuo Qing had used before, it should belong to the same set of cultivation techniques, but its power was actually multiple times stronger.


    "Not good," Di Chen immediately wrote the word "spear" in front of the fierce tiger. During the process of flying, the word "spear" really did seem to turn into a spear.


    BOOM!


    The spear collided with the tiger''s shadow, and a wave of powerful energy rippled outwards. Both of them were defeated at the same time, and a ripple forced both of them back a few steps.


    "So powerful," When the crowd below the stage saw this scene, all of them were shocked. There shouldn''t be many people with such might within the Lifestealer Realm.


    Dongfang Yue squinted his eyes and sized him up, then said softly: "This guy might be a direct disciple, I''m afraid his strength is not worse than your direct disciples, I never thought that Clear Water Academy would actually bring such a person."


    Niu Bai looked at Di Chen curiously: "But this Di Chen is not bad. In my opinion, I''m afraid that many of our direct disciples do not have his strength."


    Xun Qin also said in surprise: "No wonder Liu Jingjing said that this Di Chen is much stronger than her earlier, literati is indeed much stronger than warriors of the same realm."


    The literati s were generally harder to cultivate, but their strengths would become stronger, and in reality, it wasn''t necessarily true. After all, this depended on a person''s talent, and there weren''t many people like Di Chen in the literati.


    Everyone thought that the Famous Sword Academy must have picked up a treasure this time, no wonder Zhao Fusheng recommended this person to the best of his abilities.


    Ping Song and Lone Cloud Sword also frowned, they were clear about the power of the right side. Originally, they did not plan to let the right side take action, but they did not expect Di Chen to make such a miserable defeat.


    "It seems that ordinary cultivation techniques will not win against you that easily. Since that''s the case, then I can only use martial soul."


    He knew that if he continued to fight like this, it would only be a waste of time and elemental energy, so he decided to use the martial soul to decide the victor.


    He pointed at his brow and a white tiger appeared. This white tiger was at least 20 feet tall.


    Di Chen quickly took out two pieces of paper. One of them had the word "spear" written on it, and the other one had the word "seal" written on it.


    Di Chen pinched the Method of travelling, and two words rushed out of the slip of paper at the same time. The word "fix" turned into a ripple and scattered, and the fierce tiger''s body froze for a moment. However, it was still struggling, and one could tell that Di Chen''s formula was not able to completely trap it, while the word "spear" turned into a true long spear that was rushing towards the tiger.


    Puff!


    At this time, the long spear finally clashed with the fierce tiger, and a burst of majestic energy dispersed out, causing the entire stage to collapse with a loud bang. The tiger image was flipped over and was already on the verge of dissipating, but the power of Di Chen''s spear did not decrease at all, and continued to shoot towards the right with the force of a thunderbolt.


    However, he did not know why it was so powerful this time. Even his martial soul was not able to block one of his opponent''s attack, so he immediately took out a palm sized mirror to block in front of him. This mirror was a type of defensive treasure.


    The long spear struck the mirror again, and with a ''pa'' sound, the mirror was broken as well. However, at this time, the long spear finally broke and the right side of it was flipped over.


    Di Chen just stood there calmly. Although he had consumed a lot of energy, he was not injured at all, so even if a few more people came, he would still be able to fight.


    "This ¡­" Seeing this, the people below the stage were all shocked speechless, how did this Di Chen win so easily?


    "What''s wrong with this guy? His cultivation technique is so strong, I don''t think anyone in the Lifestealer Realm can beat him."


    "That''s right, the key point is why I haven''t been able to sense this fellow''s elemental energy."


    Although a few powerful and knowledgeable people could tell that Di Chen was literati, but many students did not know that, and only felt that Di Chen''s strength seemed to have far surpassed their level.


    The most astonished one was still Zuo Qing. Previously, he was still a little unconvinced, but now he had completely lost.


    Zuo Qing helped him up and asked: "Are you alright?"


    After placing the martial soul back into his forehead, he gasped for breath and said, "I''m fine, I just suffered some internal injuries. I''ll just rest for a while and take some pills, but I can''t beat this guy."


    Zuo Qing gritted his teeth as he looked at Di Chen. He knew very well that Di Chen was not someone he could compare to.


    Ping Song smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had already known that he could not beat Di Chen in close combat, and said softly, "There really isn''t anyone in our Clear Water Academy who can defeat him."


    Although it wasn''t the strongest in the Clear Water Academy, Ping Song could still see Di Chen''s strength.


    "Not to mention our Clear Water Academy, I feel that the direct disciples and the hidden students of the Famous Sword Academy are no match for him. In the entire Martial Region Continent, there are not many people who can beat him."


    Gu Yun Jian did not know that Di Chen had participated in the Sky Realm Academy''s ranking battle before. Although many of the hidden students did not participate, but the student teachers all knew that even if they participated, they would not be Di Chen''s match.


    "I''m actually very much looking forward to his performance on the day of the tournament."


    Ping Xue Zhu said: "At that time, he should be participating in the Martial King Realm competition."


    There were still many Martial King Realm experts in the Clear Water Academy, and everyone really wanted to see what kind of performance he would have when he breaks through the Martial King Realm.


    Ping Song looked at Di Chen and laughed, he knew that Di Chen had shown mercy, if not, with his strength, he would be able to destroy the martial soul on the right side and do things endlessly, thus he had a good impression of Di Chen.


    Di Chen clasped his hands together, and did not say a word.


    "We''ve lost," Ping Song said as he looked at Dongfang Yue.


    This time, Clear Water Academy only brought two Lifestealer Realm Warriors with him. However, both of them were defeated by Di Chen, so there was no need to continue competing with him.


    Dongfang Yue never thought that Di Chen would have such an astonishing performance, he smiled and nodded, then looked at Di Chen and said: "Not bad, you may leave."


    Di Chen bowed to Dongfang Yue, then left the stage, but he did not stay, he calmly left instead, and the following battles were on Martial King Realm, there was no longer a need for Di Chen to stay, and furthermore, the power of the scholars in Di Chen''s body was fluctuating, it seemed like he could break through the King Wen.

 C142

    Right now, Di Chen needed to find a place to train quietly, and break through the King Wen, which would easily attract attention. Returning to the room, he closed the door and sat on the bed, then the power of the scholar surged into his body. It was as if Di Chen''s door was opened, he could feel a strange energy flowing through his body.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen waited for a long time. Aside from the fact that there was a trace of energy in his body earlier, there was no other change. He seemed to be the same as before, but Di Chen had a feeling that he seemed to have become smarter.


    "I''ve broken through?" Scholars and warriors were different, he did not know what it was like to have a breakthrough in Martial King Realm.


    Di Chen took out a book from the bookshelf. This book was called¡¶ Heavenly Mystery¡·, it was another book related to the heavens, and this book was something he had brought from the Eternal Gate before. The knowledge contained in the book was obscure and hard to understand.


    "My intelligence has increased?" Di Chen was startled, thinking, could it be that when a scholar breaks through a new realm, that is the same as increasing their intelligence?


    Di Chen read through this book in a single breath. This¡¶ Heavenly Secrets¡· talks about cultivation based on luck, and breaking through realm based on destiny. If the heavens allow you to break through, you will be able to break through, but if the heavens do not agree, you will not be able to break through a new realm in your entire lifetime.


    "Another book that regards the heavens as the ruler?" Di Chen thought to himself, why is it that this Eternal Gate is like a messenger of the heavens, every book is praising the heavens, treating the heavens as everything, Di Chen once again recalled the previous question, what exactly is the heavens?


    Di Chen set¡¶ Heavenly Secrets¡· to the side, and did not think too much about the knowledge within, thinking that it would be better to not read too many of the Eternal Gate s'' books in the future, as if these books were brainwashing.


    Dong, dong, dong!


    There was a knock on the door.


    "Di Chen, are you there?" Bai Qian shouted.


    When Di Chen opened the door, he saw Bai Qian and Zi Yan standing outside, and asked suspiciously, "What happened?"


    Bai Qian shook his head: "It''s nothing, it''s just that seeing you leave in such a hurry, I wanted to ask if you''re alright?"


    Di Chen laughed: "It''s fine, it''s just that I used up a lot of energy just now, that''s why I came back to cultivate so quickly. Oh right, the competition is still going on."


    Bai Qian nodded his head: "Right now, it''s a battle of Martial King Realm, both sides have victories and losses, do you want to take a look, to see if this level of battle is beneficial for us to break through to a new realm."


    Di Chen thought to himself that since he had already broken through the realm of King Wen, after some time, he would be able to break through the Martial King Realm by going to the mountain with Kui Shan to hunt demonic beast. He didn''t even need to watch other people fight, and rejected Bai Qian.


    "Then cultivate," Bai Qian and Zi Yan both thought to themselves that Di Chen definitely still needed to cultivate, and did not stay for long.


    After the two of them left, Di Chen took out¡¶ Heavenly Mystery¡·, but this time, Di Chen did not open it. Instead, he blankly stared at the cover of the book.


    Di Chen did not cultivate for the next two days, and was immersed in this kind of thinking. He faintly felt that Yu Xuanji seemed to be concealing something very important from him, that there must have been a reason why the Eternal Gate was destroyed, but his cultivation was still too weak, and he did not have the qualifications to know about these.


    After two days, Di Chen finally walked out of the room. In the end, he did not understand, and the moment he walked out, he saw Hong Zhao standing not far away.


    Seeing Di Chen, Hong Zhao walked over and said: "Your previous match was very exciting, at least you have saved Famous Sword Academy''s face. I didn''t expect you to be so amazing."


    Di Chen laughed: "I am not as powerful as you think, I have also consumed most of my energy, if I were to continue, I would probably be injured too."


    Hong Zhao asked curiously: "I heard a lot of people saying that you are a literati, is that true?"


    During this period of time, the entire Famous Sword Academy had been talking about the Di Chen incident. Di Chen did not have any elemental energy, and it just so happened that his strength was extremely strong, the only possibility was that Di Chen was a literati.


    Di Chen knew that this matter could not be hidden from others, and nodded: "I am indeed from literati, so I do not have any Origin Energy in my body."


    Hong Zhao suddenly realized, and thought no wonder Di Chen''s technique was so strange, he had never seen literati''s technique before, he suddenly thought of Li Yuan''s death, and wondered if it was Di Chen who also did it?


    However, even if Di Chen had killed Hong Zhao, he still wouldn''t be able to do anything to Di Chen. Furthermore, he shouldn''t tell Xiang Xue about this conjecture as well, in case he wanted to kill Di Chen.


    "Oh right," Di Chen asked: "Did Clear Water Academy''s people leave?"


    Hong Zhao nodded: "They have all left, but that Zuo Qing seems to have lost very unwillingly, he said that in a few years time it will be the competition between the three major sects, and I will be waiting for you at Martial King Realm."


    Di Chen laughed, he did not care about Zuo Qing at all, and he did not chat much with Hong Zhao, but turned and left the residential area. Hong Zhao watched Di Chen''s back quietly, and was even more sure that Li Yuan had died by his hands.


    Not long after he left, Di Chen bumped into Dongfang Yue.


    "Di Chen," Dongfang Yue laughed: "What a coincidence, I was looking for you just in time. Follow me."


    Di Chen did not know why Dongfang Yue was looking for him for, but he followed Dongfang Yue to the southeast corner of the Famous Sword Academy. This place was normally a forbidden area, and only the teachers of the Famous Sword Academy could come here.


    Di Chen curiously walked in, and upon entering, he saw more than ten experts with Lifestealer Realm, Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao amongst them.


    When Liu Jingjing saw Di Chen, she ran over excitedly and asked: "Di Chen, why are you here?"


    Di Chen said: "It was Teacher Dongfang who brought me here. Jingjing, your strength seems to have increased quite a bit, have you broken through your Martial King Realm?"


    Liu Jingjing giggled: "Soon."


    Di Chen thought that the first time he met Liu Jingjing, she was like an ice beauty who didn''t like to interact with others. However, now that Liu Jingjing had spoken, she had a trace of a young lady''s aura, which showed that she had truly changed a lot.


    "Oh right," Di Chen looked curiously at Liu Lin Tao, and with one glance, he could tell that Lin Tao had already broken through to the Seventh Stage of Life Seizing, he exclaimed: "Your cultivation speed is just too fast, don''t just focus on raising your cultivation level and give up your strength."


    Lin Tao said with a smile, "Rest assured, teacher Shunan still thinks that my cultivation is slow."


    As a matter of fact, although Lin Tao trained very quickly, his cultivation level wasn''t all that low either. Currently, even the average ninth level Life Seizing Cultivator wasn''t Lin Tao''s opponent. However, Lin Tao didn''t know why his talent suddenly became so good, as if he had become a different person.


    Hearing Lin Tao''s words, Di Chen was relieved, but he did not ask anything. He looked at Dongfang Yue and asked: "Teacher Dongfang, are all of you direct disciples?"


    Dongfang Yue nodded his head: "Almost every teacher in the Famous Sword Academy will accept a few direct disciples. Their strength varies from Lifestealer Realm to Martial King and the number of people will also vary; these are all direct disciples of the Lifestealer Realm."


    Di Chen was curious: "Why did teacher bring me here?"


    Dongfang Yue laughed: The news of you defeating the Clear Water Academy some time ago has already spread, all these direct disciples did not watch the competition, and did not know your strength, so some people wanted to challenge you.


    Di Chen finally understood what was going on. So they had wanted him to fight with them, probably because they wanted him to increase their strength through battle.


    "But ¡­" Di Chen did not seem to be willing to fight. On one hand, he did not want to become a tool for others to cultivate. On the other hand, he had already broken through to King Wen.


    Dongfang Yue didn''t wait for Di Chen to finish before saying: "You might not know, but these direct disciples have always been a little arrogant. I heard that you were very strong and none of them were convinced, so I wanted to challenge you.


    Di Chen looked at Dongfang Yue with suspicion. He kept having the feeling that he had other motives, but Di Chen didn''t think too much into it, and nodded in the end.


    Seeing that Di Chen agreed, he looked at the direct disciples and said: "This is Di Chen, although you all have not seen his previous fights, but you should have heard of him before, if anyone wants to challenge him, feel free to try."


    "I only came because he defeated the two Clear Water Academy s. I don''t believe that he is as powerful as the rumors in the academy say."


    "Let me do it. Recently, there has been a breakthrough in my cultivation. I want to see how much I have improved."


    Everyone were clamoring to fight Di Chen; even many people at the seventh or eighth stage of the life reaping matches with Di Chen. It was clear that they did not place Di Chen in their eyes.


    These were all direct disciples, and Di Chen was just a new student who had just entered the academy. It was normal for them to look down on Di Chen.


    Di Chen did not mind, and laughed: "Why don''t all of you come at once, if not it will be a little unfair to you."


    "What?" Everyone was furious when they heard this. Even the direct disciples were acting so arrogantly?


    "I heard that you are a literati, I would love to test if you are really as powerful as what the rumors say," a man suddenly took a step towards Di Chen and punched at him, but when the man arrived in front of Di Chen, he seemed to be restricted by a force, and was no longer able to move.


    Di Chen immediately walked to his side, grabbed him and threw him out.


    "What''s going on?" Everyone was startled, they did not see Di Chen use his cultivation technique.


    Di Chen laughed: "I have already broken through to King Wen, and am already equivalent to a Martial King, that''s why I asked you all to attack me together."


    Break through the King Wen?


    Everyone immediately became like deflated balls, thinking that since they were just Lifestealer Realm, how could they fight against a King Wen?


    Dongfang Yue was also slightly surprised. A few days ago, he was only a scholar, but now, he was at King Wen, his cultivation speed was rather fast, no wonder Zhao Fusheng was recommending him with all his might. He thought to himself, although this guy is not a direct disciple, he actually has the qualifications to become a direct disciple.

 C143

    These direct disciples originally thought that they could easily defeat Di Chen, but they did not expect that Di Chen''s strength was beyond their imagination.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Di Chen, you have finally broken through to King Wen. In a while, I will also break through to Martial King.


    Di Chen had been stuck at the ninth level of the Scholar Realm for a long time, so he was lucky to be able to break through.


    Since Liu Jingjing had been accepted as her direct disciple, she had not seen Di Chen. She was already used to having days of Di Chen, so she was not used to it during this period of time.


    "Not bad," Dongfang Yue said in satisfaction. "I originally thought that it would be a little troublesome if you defeated them, but I never expected that you would have broken through a great realm.


    Di Chen stared blankly for a moment, and then asked doubtfully: "Where else are we going?"


    Dongfang Yue smiled mysteriously: "You''ll know when you get here."


    Di Chen thought to himself, wasn''t Dongfang Yue bringing him here to fight with the direct disciples? After thinking for a bit, he still greeted Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao and followed.


    Leaving the training grounds and continuing deeper, this place was like a forest, surrounded by tall trees, and there were also quite a few Demonic King s. demonic beast were eyeing Di Chen and Di Chen fiercely, as though they were ready to attack at any time, and these demonic beast were raised here on purpose, just to prevent other disciples from rushing in, and of course, these Demonic King s could also be given to the direct disciples to train themselves.


    Di Chen thought that these Demonic King were not ordinary demonic beast, maybe only direct disciples could kill them.


    A few minutes later, Di Chen saw another martial arts training grounds. This training grounds was even larger than before, and before he even entered, he could feel waves of terrifying elemental energy surging out.


    Entering the Martial Arts Practice Field, Di Chen saw more than ten people cultivating. These people''s realms ranged from the first level of the Martial King realm to Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, Di Chen instantly understood that these were the direct disciples of the Martial King Realm.


    After those disciples saw Di Chen, they all stopped cultivating and looked at him curiously.


    Dongfang Yue waved his hand, summoning everyone over, and laughed: "Let me introduce you, this is Di Chen, from now on he is one of you."


    Di Chen was startled: "Teacher Dongfang, you''re saying that I''m now a direct disciple as well?"


    Dongfang Yue laughed: "That''s right, you can also cultivate here in the future."


    Di Chen suddenly understood why Dongfang Yue had brought him to fight with the Lifestealer Realm warriors, they were not testing him, but rather testing him. seemed to be very satisfied with his performance just now, thus he agreed to join the ranks of the direct disciples. No wonder he brought him to the forbidden grounds, it turns out he had this plan from the very beginning.


    A direct disciple was different from the other direct disciples. At the very least, a direct disciple didn''t have to pay rent, and every month, the academy would issue out a lot of pills for cultivation. Of course, if one wanted to consume a better pill, they had to pay for themselves.


    "Teacher Dongfang, which teacher''s disciple is this junior disciple?" Someone asked. Every personal disciple had a teacher.


    Dongfang Yue laughed: "He does not have a teacher, he only has the same privileges as you."


    "No teacher?" Everyone was puzzled, thinking to themselves, since he had the talent to become a direct disciple, why wasn''t there a teacher willing to accept him? Why would he come here without a teacher to take him in as a disciple?


    Actually, it was also because Di Chen was a literati, and Famous Sword Academy did not have literati, so even if there was a teacher who wanted to teach Di Chen, he would not be able to, and Di Chen''s cultivation could only depend on him to teach himself.


    Dongfang Yue also did not explain, and said: "Di Chen, in the future, you can come here and cultivate at any time, but for the time being, do not reveal your identity."


    The direct disciples of the Famous Sword Academy were all secrets and did not often meet with outsiders. After all, this group of disciples would be the main force in the competition between the three big academies in the future.


    Di Chen nodded, he did not stay any longer, and left Di Chen to cultivate by himself, then turned and left the training grounds.


    In fact, this kind of martial arts training ground was not suitable for Di Chen to cultivate in. Di Chen only cultivated to finding a quiet place to read and write, the crowded and noisy place was not suitable for Di Chen, he did not stay for long, and wanted to leave.


    Just then, a young man suddenly stopped Di Chen in his tracks. The young man had a sturdy body, wore a piece of beast skin, and gave off a sense of power. He was called Xiang Zuo, and was from the eastern region of Martial Region Continent.


    Everyone knew why Xiang Zuo was blocking Di Chen, and they all looked at the two of them playfully, as if they were watching a show.


    Di Chen was startled: "Is there something wrong with this senior brother here?"


    Xiang Zuo laughed: It seems that you do not have any Yuan Power inside your body, but I can''t tell which realm you are in, and what cultivation you have?


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Cultivation is a person''s secret, senior brother should know that I cannot say."


    Because other people could not see Di Chen''s realm, Di Chen was able to easily achieve victory, so under normal circumstances, Di Chen would never rashly state his cultivation, but in reality, no one would ever say it, so asking others about their realm was just provoking their opponent.


    Xiang Zuo seemed to know that Di Chen would not say anything, and laughed: "It''s fine if you don''t want to say it, let me try, and I will find out."


    After saying that, he stepped towards Di Chen, and ruthlessly punched.


    Di Chen did not expect that Xiang Zuo would suddenly attack, and he was unable to dodge in time, hence he quickly sent a fist out to meet Xiang Zuo''s attack.


    Two fists collided, and with a loud bang, Di Chen felt a powerful force smash into his body. He was immediately sent flying by this punch, and landed heavily on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood and breaking the bones in his arms.


    "So weak?" Xiang Zuo was startled, he had only used the brute strength just now, and wanted to judge what realm of cultivation Di Chen was in based on his strength, but he did not expect a punch to be able to injure Di Chen to such an extent.


    "Isn''t this guy a Martial King?" Everyone was astonished. If he wasn''t a Martial King, how could he have been brought here?


    Xiang Zuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is your strength so weak? It seems to be only within the Lifestealer Realm Realm."


    Di Chen was almost killed by Xiang Zuo just now. He propped himself up on the ground and said with slight anger: "I am not a martial king, I am only at the ninth level of the life seizing realm."


    Xiang Zuo doubted: "Impossible, how could Teacher Dongfang bring the people from Lifestealer Realm here? You must be hiding your cultivation, what, do you look down on me?"


    Di Chen could not be bothered to care about Xiang Zuo, he was not in the mood to fight Xiang Zuo, and did not plan to care about what happened just now, and turned to leave.


    "You''re looking down on me," Xiang Zuo said. After confirming that Di Chen was looking down on him, he took another step forward and punched at Di Chen. This time, his power was actually stronger.


    Di Chen never thought that Xiang Zuo would actually attack, and this time he was not prepared, he was struck flying again, and his internal injuries worsened.


    Everyone sighed when they saw this. They thought to themselves, it seems that he really only has Lifestealer Realm, but why would a single Lifestealer Realm come to the Martial King region to cultivate?


    Di Chen got up and angrily said: "I already said that I am only using Lifestealer Realm, don''t go overboard. Did you know that you almost killed me just now?"


    Xiang Zuo scoffed: "I don''t believe that, Lifestealer Realm should be used to cultivate in the Lifesteal District, why must you look down on me when you come to the Martial King District, since that''s the case, I will beat you up until you fight back, let''s see how long you can keep pretending for."


    Other than this reason, Xiang Zuo could not feel any spirit energy from Di Chen, how could a martial artist not have spirit energy? That could only mean that Di Chen had hidden his spirit energy, and was able to hide his spirit energy.


    After Xiang Zuo said this, he rushed towards Di Chen and punched again. This time, if Di Chen did not retaliate, he was afraid that he would kill him.


    Lang Chen was truly angry this time. He used one hand to write the word "Broken" in the air as he charged towards Xiang Zuo.


    Just a moment ago, Di Chen faintly felt that this Xiang Zuo had just broken through Martial King Realm not long ago, his strength wasn''t too strong, so the "Broken" formula could completely deal with him.


    "Have you finally used your cultivation technique?" Although Xiang Zuo saw Di Chen using a cultivation technique, he still did not feel any of Di Chen''s soul force, so he subconsciously knew that Di Chen had only used a normal cultivation technique, and was definitely underestimating him, so he smashed his fist on the word "Broken".


    BOOM!


    The broken word exploded, and Xiang Zuo was immediately blown away, one of his arms was smashed into pieces, and fresh blood flowed out.


    "Hmm?" Everyone was astonished once again. This cultivation technique was very powerful. Could it be that he had hidden his cultivation realm? But why didn''t there be any elemental energy fluctuations in his body just now?


    As expected, you did conceal your strength, "Xiang Zuo said as he propped himself up from the ground. He looked at his broken arm, gritted his teeth and said angrily," You actually injured me this badly, and no one has ever been able to hurt me before.


    Di Chen snorted: "I''ve already said that I don''t want to fight with you, you forced me to, and you brought this upon yourself. Don''t force me, or else don''t blame me for being rude."


    Xiang Zuo said: "Looks like you have really looked down on me, but I am not as weak as you think I am. Let me experience your true strength."


    As Xiang Zuo said that, he took out a big blade and slashed at Di Chen. This blade was at least 10 meters long, it was as big as the sword in Lin Tao''s hand, and there was demonic beast energy within the sword, it seemed like it was refined from demon bones.


    Di Chen could see the power of this strike, and did not dare to be careless. He immediately wrote the word "spear" in his hand and shot it towards Xiang Zuo.


    Bang! With a sound, Xiang Zuo''s blade cut the spear, and a burst of powerful force was released, causing Xiang Zuo to be pushed back a few steps. His large blade flew out, his arm shaking violently.


    "Dammit ¡­" Xiang Zuo did not believe that he would be unable to defeat his opponent, and still want to charge forward.


    Just then, a man suddenly stopped Xiang Zuo, and advised: "Alright, you have already lost, stop hitting me, first heal your injuries, then we will talk."


    Xiang Zuo might not know, but if it wasn''t for the man stopping him, Xiang Zuo would already be a dead man by now.

 C144

    Xiang Zuo said unwillingly: "Senior Brother Jing Shi, I have not lost, I still have martial soul to use."


    Jing Shi said seriously: "Just now, Di Chen had already shown mercy, if not you would have broken your arm, and instead a body, and you had only broken through Martial King Realm not too long ago, and your realm was not stable yet. Cultivate properly, do not fight in such a meaningless manner."


    Xiang Zuo was still unwilling, why did he say that Di Chen had shown mercy?


    But since the scenery is one of Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, and he''s the eldest senior brother here, the person who cultivates the strongest, everyone has to listen to him, so Xiang Zuo could not say anything more. He looked at Di Chen with hatred and said: "You broke one of my arms, I will remember this grudge, and I will still challenge you to a fight."


    With that, he quickly left, Di Chen could not be bothered with him, he bowed to Jing Wen, and was ready to leave without saying a word.


    "Wait," Jing Xiang shouted anxiously: "Junior Brother Di Chen, can I ask you a question?"


    Di Chen curiously looked at Jing Shi and said: "Senior Brother, please ask."


    Jing Zhi laughed: "I heard that a while ago a new disciple came to the academy and this person defeated a visitor from Clear Water Academy. And I heard that he was a literati, is it you, Junior Brother?"


    Di Chen did not intentionally hide it from his and nodded.


    "So that person was him. No wonder he''s so powerful."


    "This guy is the literati, no wonder he doesn''t have elemental energy, this is my first time seeing the literati."


    These direct disciples had been training here all year round, practically not listening to anything outside the window. No one knew what happened outside, and no one had heard of Di Chen, of course, there were a few students who had heard of him, but of course, there was also a extraordinary freshman who had come from Famous Sword Academy, and when that freshman fought with the Clear Water Academy''s Lifestealer Realm, they instinctively thought that it was Lifestealer Realm. Since Dongfang Yue had brought this person here, they believed that it was definitely not Lifestealer Realm.


    The scholar and the martial artist are different. When you fought with the two Lifestealer Realm cultivators before, it meant that your cultivation was only at the Lifestealer Realm realm compared to the martial artists. However, your strength was comparable to the martial king just now, what was going on?


    Di Chen explained: "I just broke through the King Wen''s realm two days ago, and the King Wen''s Martial King Realm is equivalent to a martial artist''s."


    He thought that the martial arts methods of the scholars were different from the martial arts. Just now, he defeated Xiang Zuo with one strike, so it seemed that his strength was much stronger than Xiang Zuo''s.


    He thought that Zhao Fusheng had never recommended anyone else to enter the Famous Sword Academy, so he thought that being recommended by him could be imagined, not just the situation, other people were also very interested in Di Chen. This was because Di Chen was very strong.


    Di Chen did not stay for long, and after chatting a bit with Jing Shi, he left the training grounds.


    This was a forbidden zone, only direct disciples could come, it was very quiet, it was a good place to study, Di Chen then found a quiet corner and took out a book to read, but this time, Di Chen''s powers did not increase.


    After reaching King Wen, he would have to read and learn. Obtaining power from books would depend on luck, so he deliberately cultivated to read and cultivate so that his cultivation would not increase.


    After looking for a few hours, Di Chen returned to the room. In the future, he did not plan to go there to cultivate.


    "Di Chen..." He had just returned to Kui Shan when he came looking for him.


    Di Chen asked: "Senior Brother Kui Shan, what''s the matter?"


    Kui Shan thought for a while and said: "Di Chen, didn''t you say that you are going to the mountain a while ago?


    Di Chen thought that he had broken through the realm of King Wen, and now was the time to break through the Martial King Realm. However, it would be difficult to kill the Demonic King by himself, and it would be safer with someone by his side, so he nodded.


    Kui Shan laughed. "Fine, then. I''ll come look for you tomorrow."


    After Di Chen returned to his room, he started to write, writing was the best way to recover the power of a scholar, but this time, without Liu Jingjing to help him grind the ink, he had no choice but to do it himself, breaking off a small piece of ink and turning it into ink, which made Di Chen think of Liu Jingjing, and thought that if she was here, he would be fine too.


    The second day!


    When Di Chen came outside the academy, he saw two males and two females, one of them was Kui Shan, on the left of Kui Shan was a young man with delicate features. The young man looked to be even younger than Di Chen, with a kind smile on his face, but the smile seemed to be fake, he was called Ji Yun with the cultivation of a Martial King, while the woman on his right was a short, round face named Qin Er. She looked cute, she was probably at the first level of the Martial King Realm.


    It was just that Di Chen did not think that the direct disciple An Yang would actually act together with Kui Shan and the others, and not together with the direct disciple.


    "He must be Di Chen." Qin Er recognized Di Chen with a single glance, and said with a frown: "Kui Shan, is this what you said he was going to join us?"


    Kui Shan laughed: "You have all seen the battle between Di Chen and the two disciples from Clear Water Academy. He is not weak, and he is also a literati.


    Qin Er seemed to not like it, and said: "His cultivation technique is very powerful, but he is only qualified to be considered a member of the Lifestealer Realm, and this time we are going to the depths of mountain, with his strength, she will only implicate us."


    No one knew about the realm Di Chen had broken through to King Wen, but Qin Er still thought that Di Chen was only a scholar and did not want to move with Di Chen.


    Kui Shan laughed: "Qin Er, don''t worry, Di Chen won''t drag us down. His techniques are actually extremely useful to us, and can save us a lot of time."


    "Yes," Ji Yun agreed: "He can even stop other people''s martial soul, and he is not just a literati, I see that his strength is also very strong, and is not inferior to ordinary people with Lifestealer Realm. He cultivates both martial and martial arts, and even if a Martial King wants to kill him, it wouldn''t be easy, but I feel that he can travel together with us."


    did not understand the cultivation techniques of scholars that were different from warriors, he just thought that it was mystical. He thought that it would be safe to have Di Chen to travel together with him, furthermore, Di Chen''s strength was equally strong, so he did not need them to take care of him.


    Qin Er was still a little unwilling, she looked at An Yang and said: "Senior Sister An Yang, what do you think?"


    Yesterday, An Yang had already seen Di Chen''s strength, and thought that with Di Chen''s cultivation, it would be difficult for his to defeat him, so he nodded his head: "I am fine with that."


    Qin Er saw that An Yang had agreed and agreed: "Alright then, but you must not implicate us in this, mountain is in danger, I will not take care of your life."


    Di Chen laughed and nodded, he had never thought of asking them to take care of him, with Di Chen''s strength, taking care of her was not too much.


    "Let''s go," seeing that everyone agreed to it, Kui Shan brought the few of them towards the mountain. After six hours, the five of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.


    Before they even reached the mountain, they could feel a huge wave of demonic aura coming from the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, mountain could occasionally see Demonic King and it was extremely dangerous.


    Ji Yun said with a solemn expression on his face: "We have to be careful from here onwards, our strongest is An Yang, Third Level of the Martial King Realm, Kui Shan and I are martial king experts, we are at the first stage of the Qin Er realm, Scholar Di Chen, our team''s strength is not very strong, those Demonic King should not be afraid of us, and we definitely should not rashly fight with those Demonic King s, in case we cause unnecessary trouble."


    They entered the mountain, where it was filled with dense foliage and trees that reached the sky. At the foot of the mountain, there was no miasma, so it was relatively safe, only when we enter the heart of the mountain would it be dangerous.


    "Hmm?" Not long after he entered the mountain, Di Chen saw a wild boar crocodile, this type of wild boar crocodile''s body was like an alligator, its four limbs were like a wild boar, it could live in the water or on the land, but these amphibians would usually live by the river, and this place had a wild boar crocodile that said that there must be a river nearby, this wild boar crocodile was around 20 feet tall, it was most likely a Level 2 Demonic King.


    Di Chen was overjoyed: "Wild boar crocodile''s entire body is a treasure, it can be sold for a lot of money, this wild boar crocodile is probably only a level 2 Demonic King, with our strength, we should be able to easily kill it."


    Qin Er rolled her eyes and pestered: "Without you, you won''t be able to kill this wild boar crocodile."


    Di Chen was speechless, thinking that she really did not welcome him, to actually say such a thing, he did not care, and said: "Are we going to kill his?"


    Ji Yun shook his head: "No, although this wild boar crocodile is alone, but if we want to kill it, we will need to use up our spirit energy. Furthermore, the battle will definitely attract other demonic beast, it''s not worth it, forget it, let''s not waste anymore time."


    Di Chen was startled, thinking that they had missed such a good opportunity, was it possible that they were not here to hunt demonic beast?


    Kui Shan did not seem to have any intention of killing. She said, "Let''s go, there are still many dangers ahead. The most important is to cultivate and preserve our spirit energy in the mountain."


    With that, he went around the wild boar crocodile and left, Qin Er and Ji Yun following behind.


    Di Chen frowned, with his strength, he could actually kill him alone. It was such a pity to waste such a good opportunity, but he was still unwilling.


    "Forget it," An Yang knew that Di Chen was confident enough that he could kill the wild boar crocodile, so he advised, "Keep your strength hidden first. There will be more safe things in the future.


    Seeing that she did not intend to kill the Wild Boar Alligator, Di Chen decided to give up.


    The few of them continued going deeper, and after passing by a few lone demonic beast, they arrived at a certain location in mountain in two hours.

 C145

    "We''ve arrived," Kui Shan said, pointing at a distant tree. "That''s the purpose of our trip."


    Di Chen noticed that it was a tree that was filled with red fruits. This fruit was only the size of a fingernail and gave off an alluring fragrance, which he did not recognize. He asked curiously: "What is this?"


    Ten of these fruits can help a Martial King break through from the first stage to the double stage, and thirty of them can help him break through to the triple stage. Look at how many red fog fruit here are, and if you count them, they will probably help all of us break through to the fourth stage of the Martial King realm.


    Di Chen inhaled a breath of cold air. Although he could not be considered a warrior, he knew that a warrior had to cultivate step by step, and every small realm was hard to break into. But these fruits could help a warrior to break through into the next realm?


    Di Chen looked at the other people again. He realized that everyone was staring at the red fog fruit greedily, and thought that this red fog fruit must have had a different reaction. No wonder these guys didn''t hunt those demonic beast, those demonic beast were trash compared to these red fog fruit.


    Previously, Di Chen had wanted to use the Demonic beast flesh and blood to breakthrough his Martial King Realm, but he thought that these red fog fruit would be able to help him now.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly frowned, and looked into the distance: "I sensed a dense amount of Spirit Demon Qi over there, it seemed to be hiding a lot of demonic beast."


    "That''s right," Kui Shan nodded. "The red fog fruit not only have great use for us humans, they also have great use for them. There must be many demonic beast hiding here, and there are also quite a few of them."


    Ji Yun thought for a while and analyzed: "How about this, Di Chen, you and Qin Er will walk to the left side, where there will be less demonic energy, and Kui Shan and I will walk to the right side, in charge of dealing with the majority of the demonic beast, An Yang will stay here just in case."


    Qin Er cried out in disagreement, "But Di Chen is only equivalent to Lifestealer Realm. The demonic beast there must all be Demonic King.


    In Qin Er''s opinion, Di Chen''s cultivation was too low to fight with the Demonic King, and he could not help her in any way, but would instead implicate her. She really did not want to act together with Di Chen.


    Kui Shan advised: "Qin Er, we have already considered this. Di Chen''s technique is not as weak as you think it is, he can help you at critical moments, and An Yang is our trump card. I believe that only An Yang can deal with the demonic beast that is hiding in that place."


    Then, he looked at Di Chen and asked, "Di Chen, do you have the confidence to help Qin Er?"


    Di Chen thought that since he was now a King Wen, it was easy to kill ordinary Demonic King, and helping her was also very easy, so he nodded his head.


    Although he nodded his head, Di Chen still felt that it was strange. The left side had a bit less demonic qi, but it seemed to have a strong power hidden inside, could it be that none of them could sense it?


    Qin Er seemed to still be a little unwilling, she choked: "Don''t make such a guarantee, if by any chance there''s a problem, the two of us will die together."


    Ji Yun said again: "We will also be watching you guys. Besides, the demonic energy on the left is relatively less, so you guys might not meet the demonic beast. That''s all."


    Qin Er originally wanted to say more, but seeing that Ji Yun and Kui Shan seemed to have made up his mind, he didn''t think it would be good to say anything more. After all, she was relatively weak here and didn''t have much authority to speak.


    An Yang did not say anything as this was originally the plan he had discussed previously.


    "Move," Kui Shan shouted in a low voice. Then, he and Ji Yun rushed out from the right side, while Di Chen and Qin Er rushed out from the left side.


    Just as Kui Shan had said, a large number of Demonic King s suddenly rushed out from the right side. There were Demonic Wolf s and demon tigers, it seemed like they were all demonic beast s that had been standing guard here since long ago.


    Di Chen and Qin Er continued to rush towards the red fog fruit tree, just at this time, a terrifying gust of wind swept over, directly blowing Qin Er and Di Chen away, and heavily smashing them to the ground.


    At this time, a six meters long demonic beast walked out from the forest. This demonic beast had a head like an ox, body like a tiger, tail like a snake, and a pair of blood red eyes stared at Di Chen and.


    "Level 4 Demonic King Snake Tiger Beast," Qin Er saw the change in demonic beast''s expression, he was afraid that only An Yang could take care of this level 4 Demonic King, so she immediately looked at An Yang and shouted: "An Yang, come out and help us."


    "That won''t do," Kui Shan said. "There are even more powerful demonic beast here, so An Yang can''t come out for the time being. Qin Er, Di Chen, you two hurry up and lure the Snake Tiger Beast away.


    "But ¡­" Qin Er was hesitating, the serpent and tiger beast could kill her with a single strike, how could she lure them away? However, she saw that An Yang did not seem to have any intentions of coming out, and Kui Shan and Ji Yun would not help her either.


    Di Chen looked at Kui Shan and Ji Yun, and seeing the two of them laughing coldly, he immediately understood, it seemed that the two of them knew that there was a Level 4 Snake Tiger Beast here, their only goal was for him to lure the demonic beast away, it was basically using him and Qin Er as bait.


    If Kui Shan had mentioned earlier that there was a Snake Tiger Beast here, Di Chen would definitely think of a way to set up the formation. In fact, with Di Chen''s cultivation level, giving him more time would barely be enough to imprison the Snake Tiger Beast, and then adding the other people''s cultivation levels, killing it would not be difficult for him, but Kui Shan did not say anything. Which meant that the few of them had already thought of a plan, and Di Chen and Qin Er were only a part of their plan.


    Di Chen was slightly angered, but it was too late to say anything, and he and Qin Er headed in another direction.


    Seeing that Di Chen''s strength was weaker, the Snake Tiger Beast decided to chase after him.


    "Why are you chasing me?" Di Chen thought that Qin Er was stronger than him, her spirit energy was richer than him. Logically speaking, it should be chasing after Qin Er, but it was chasing after Di Chen the whole time, no matter how hard it tried to shake him off.


    "Does it want to kill Di Chen first?" When Qin Er saw that the Snake Tiger Beast was chasing after Di Chen, she was immediately overjoyed. What was even more exciting was that the Snake Tiger Beast would not be able to kill Di Chen in a short while, so she immediately took the chance to escape.


    "Senior Sister Qin Er ¡­" Di Chen watched Qin Er leave with her own eyes. She had no choice but to help Di Chen.


    Roar!


    The Snake Tiger Beast roared and pounced towards Di Chen. If he were to pounce on Di Chen, he would definitely die.


    "Freeze!" With one word from Di Chen, the power of the scholar rippled and the Snake Tiger Beast stopped in front of Di Chen.


    Di Chen took the chance to dodge, but in the next moment, the Snake and Tiger Beast actually rushed over again. Although Di Chen had broken through to the first level of King Wen, because he had not made a breakthrough for a long time, he could at most deal with two levels of Demonic King.


    "Seems like ordinary [Congealing] formula s are unable to imprison it," Di Chen thought to himself, if he were to confine the demonic beast, it would take a long time to use the [Congealing] cultivation technique, but he did not have the time to set up the array, he hastily took out a piece of paper with the word "Congealing" written on it, and threw it out. The power of the paper was much stronger than the [Congealing] cultivation technique written by Di Chen, but the amount of effort required was also greater.


    An invisible force dispersed out and the Snake and Tiger Beast were locked down again. This time for a bit longer, Di Chen quickly escaped with all his might.


    However, very quickly, the Snake-Tiger Beast rushed over again. Di Chen only used the Anchor slip of paper once again, and every time, he would be able to run a distance, but every time, there would be demonic beast that chased after him. This happened again and again, and soon, Di Chen''s note was exhausted, but the Snake-Tiger Beast still continued to chase after Di Chen.


    "Damn it," Di Chen cursed inwardly. He knew that he wouldn''t be able to escape this time, but with Di Chen''s strength, he wouldn''t be able to kill this Snake and Tiger Beast.


    The Snake and Tiger Beast pounced towards Di Chen again. Di Chen took out a piece of paper with the word "spear" written on it and wanted to fight with the Snake and Tiger Beast head on.


    But at that moment, Qin Er suddenly flew out, holding onto a soft sword, she welcomed the Snake Tiger Beast.


    The Snake Tiger Beast grabbed onto Qin Er''s sword with its claws, with a sound, Qin Er was immediately pushed back, while the Snake Tiger Beast also retreated a few steps.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen was slightly taken aback, then said while looking at Qin Er: "Why are you back again?"


    Previously, Qin Er took advantage of the Snake and Tiger Beast''s chase to escape from Di Chen, but now she had returned back to save Di Chen.


    Qin Er scoffed, "If I hadn''t returned, you would have been killed long ago. But then again, you, a person with Lifestealer Realm, was actually able to escape for such a long time, you''re pretty amazing."


    Di Chen thought that this Qin Er seemed to dislike him a lot, but sshe was also kind in her heart. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have risked her life to save him.


    Qin Er saw that Di Chen was actually still standing there in a daze, and was slightly angered: "You go first, I''ll come later."


    Di Chen did not think that she would actually want to cover for him, so he thought for a while, "This Snake Tiger Beast''s speed is fast, and it is also sensitive to smell, we cannot escape, let''s kill it together."


    Qin Er said in shock: "You are only at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and I am only at the first stage of the Martial King realm, how are we going to kill a fourth level Demonic King?"


    In truth, Qin Er knew that sshe could not escape, but compared to escaping, it was much harder to kill. Even if An Yang was here, he might not be able to kill the demonic beast.


    Di Chen said seriously: "Help me block it for a minute, after one minute I have my own ways to kill it."


    "One minute?" Qin Er said angrily: "Let''s not talk about whether I can block for a minute, even if I can barely block for a minute, do you really have a way to kill this Snake Tiger Beast?


    Di Chen replied as he took out his Sky Spill Brush and paper and started writing "Set". Di Chen wrote very quickly, writing after writing, as if he was completely immersed in himself, and did not care about Qin Er at all.


    When Qin Er saw that Di Chen was actually prepared to kill this Demonic King, she did not have confidence in Di Chen. She originally wanted to leave, but when she thought about how she would definitely die if she left, she decided to stay back. In the end, she could only barely fight against the Snake Tiger Beast.

 C146

    Just a few seconds of resistance, Qin Er was already unable to withstand the attacks of the Snake and Tiger Beast.


    Seeing that Di Chen was still writing, she forced herself to continue writing. He tapped his forehead and a Spirit Sword flew out, welcoming the Snake Tiger Beast.


    Qin Er''s Sword Martial Spirit was different from the others. Although his Sword Martial Spirit was fast and sharp, she did not consume too much spirit energy, her killing power was not weak.


    Sword Martial Spirit was circling around the Snake Tiger Beast. Many times he was pushed back by the Snake Tiger Beast, but he quickly flew back again and again towards the Snake Tiger Beast, leaving wounds on its body.


    "Di Chen, hurry up, I can''t hold on any longer." Although Qin Er did not believe that Di Chen had the power to kill the Snake and Tiger Beast, she still placed her last hope on Di Chen.


    Di Chen acted as if he did not hear it, and crazily wrote those words. After a moment, he wrote dozens of letters, and then sprinkled all of the papers on the ground.


    "Senior Sister Qin Er," Di Chen shouted, "Hurry and retreat to my place."


    Qin Er immediately kept her martial soul and flew in Di Chen''s direction. At the same time, the Snake-Tiger Beast also chased after him.


    Di Chen stared intently at the Snake Tiger Beast, when it entered into the range, the power of the literati inside his body frantically surged out, the four pieces of paper with the word "fix" written on it suddenly erupted with a strange power, and the Snake Tiger Beast suddenly stopped right when it was about to catch up with Qin Er, but this time, it stopped for a bit longer.


    "Use all your strength to kill them," Di Chen shouted loudly. Then, he took out all of the slips of paper with the word "spear" written on them.


    "He actually locked down on this Demonic King of the fourth level?" Qin Er did not expect Di Chen to be able to do this, she immediately sent her Sword Martial Spirit towards the Snake Tiger Beast.


    The long spear and the Sword Martial Spirit slashed onto the snake and tiger beast''s bodies. The snake and tiger beast had no way of dodging, they were chopped into pieces, and their flesh and blood splattered into the air.


    But very quickly, the Snake Tiger Beast was able to move. It pounced towards Di Chen in a berserk manner, its claws slamming down heavily onto him. It must have been angered by Di Chen, so it was the first to want to kill Di Chen.


    "Di Chen, be careful," Qin Er roared out in shock. The scholar''s body was weak, how could she possibly defend against a Demonic King of the fourth level?


    Di Chen''s face also changed. In his haste, he had to punch the Snake Tiger Beast.


    With a creaking sound, the Snake Tiger Beast''s strength was not something that Di Chen could defend against. Di Chen was immediately sent flying, and his arm was broken, as it landed heavily on the ground.


    However, the Snake Tiger Beast seemed to have exhausted its last bit of strength, and with a loud thud, it fell to the ground, blood gushing out from its body, completely dying. After all, it had been killed by the Spear Arts while standing still earlier, even a fourth stage Demonic King would not be able to withstand it.


    "Is he dead?" Qin Er did not expect that she and Di Chen would actually kill a Snake Tiger Beast, so she immediately ran over to Di Chen''s side and asked: "Di Chen, how are you?"


    Di Chen said weakly: "My energy is exhausted and my arm is broken. My entire body is injured and I can''t walk anymore."


    Seeing that Di Chen was fine, Qin Er heaved a sigh of relief. "Did you break through the King Wen?"


    Di Chen did not hide anything and said: "I made a breakthrough earlier, but I did not tell anyone else. This Kui Shan thought I was only in the Lifestealer Realm realm."


    If Kui Shan knew that Di Chen had broken through to King Wen, she would definitely not let Di Chen be the bait for him. After all, the martial arts of the scholars were stronger than the martial artists, so they would definitely be of great use to Kui Shan.


    Qin Er put away the Snake Tiger Beast''s corpse, thought for a while and carried Di Chen on his back. Then she said, "I have also used up about seventy to eighty percent of my elemental energy, let''s hurry to find An Yang and the others."


    The battle just now had been too intense and it would definitely attract other demonic beast. If they stayed any longer, it would be dangerous.


    Di Chen lied down on Qin Er''s back, his head resting on her shoulder, he said: "If we go back, they will only treat us as bait, don''t look for them. From my point of view, they don''t have any plans to let us return alive."


    "Decoy?" Qin Er was startled: "Di Chen, what nonsense are you saying, why would they treat us as bait?"


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "Do you think that Kui Shan doesn''t know that there is a Demonic King of the fourth rank there? He knew it from the start, but he didn''t tell us that, and if they had helped us previously, they would definitely have been able to kill this Demonic King of the fourth rank, it''s just that this way, they would have definitely consumed a lot of spirit energy and might even be injured. This isn''t a good deal, so they are prepared to sacrifice us.


    "Impossible," Qin Er''s face changed when she heard this, as if she couldn''t believe it. Kui Shan and Ji Yun didn''t say it like that earlier, how could they treat him as bait?


    Di Chen continued: "I was a little curious when Kui Shan invited me at the beginning, I thought why is he so kind. He clearly knew that bringing someone with Lifestealer Realm would implicate them, and now she knows that they only need a bait, just that I didn''t think you were also a bait."


    Qin Er suddenly thought back to the scene where Kui Shan had invited his. She initially did not want to come, but Kui Shan did her utmost to invite his, saying that she would help her greatly and even used a red fog fruit to absorb her, only then did she come as well. He felt that it was indeed strange, now that he was not strong enough, why would he invite his?


    Qin Er said angrily: "This Kui Shan deserves to die, then what should we do now?"


    Di Chen panted, "Let''s find a place to hide and try to recover as much energy as possible. Otherwise, the two of us would be in great danger."


    This mountain not only had many demonic beast, there were also many cultivators. If they met with the Devil Dao, the consequences would be even worse.


    Qin Er nodded, then walked in a direction and said: "I hope that you do not encounter any dangers during this period of time."


    Di Chen asked: "Senior Sister Qin Er, if you follow my directions, you probably won''t encounter any demonic beast."


    Qin Er was startled, and did not understand why Di Chen would say that. However, Di Chen had just killed a, so he believed Di Chen now.


    "Oh, right," Qin Er said. "Don''t blame my senior sister in the future, it sounds very awkward, so just call me Qin Er.


    Having experienced life and death together, Qin Er had a much better impression of Di Chen.


    "Hmm?" However, just at this moment, a series of undulations came from the front, and footsteps came towards them. Qin Er called out that the situation was not good, and was about to escape, when the three of them suddenly landed in front of Qin Er and Luo Hua City Mistress, they were led by a woman dressed in red robes, with the name of Luo Yumeng, who seemed to be at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm. The two men beside them were at the Third Level of the Martial King Realm, while the one on the left was Chen Ying.


    Qin Er carefully retreated, looked at them and asked in alarm: "Who are you?"


    Gu Feng sized Di Chen and Qin Er up from head to toe, and said with a smile: "One of you is without Origin Energy, and the other is only at the first level of the Martial King realm. This combination is truly interesting, could it be that the two of you are a couple?"


    Under normal circumstances, warriors would naturally choose people with similar strengths to train with. However, to Gu Feng, it seemed that Di Chen and Qin Er were of a large realm, so for these two to act together, it naturally showed that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.


    Di Chen calmly replied: "So what if I am? What do you all want?"


    Chen Ying laughed: "I don''t want to do anything, I just feel that meeting is fate, this mountain is very dangerous, how about we go together?"


    These fellows'' overall strength was much stronger than Di Chen''s and Qin Er''s. Furthermore, Di Chen and Qin Er were both injured, was there a need for them to act together with Di Chen?


    Di Chen knew that these three must have ill intentions and immediately rejected them: "No need, we''ll be going down the mountain very soon."


    Chen Ying said in a playful tone, "Why are you in such a hurry to go down the mountain? It''s not easy to make a trip here, so naturally you have to try to breakthrough your cultivation, furthermore, the two of you are heavily injured and your spirit energy is dissipating, it''s just too dangerous to go down the mountain now, so you should come down the mountain with us at the same time."


    Do I have a chance to go down the mountain with you?


    Furthermore, these people carried an evil Qi with them, especially that woman, who gave off an Qi that Di Chen felt disgusted with. He could not figure out what it was exactly, but he felt that this woman was very dangerous.


    Di Chen still refused: "We still have a few friends that came together, but we''re separated now, but we''ve already decided on the location, so there shouldn''t be any problems, thank you, Qin Er, let''s go."


    If she said that his friends were friends, it would only scare them, so Qin Er immediately carried Di Chen on her back and avoided the three.


    Chen Ying stepped in front of the two of them, saying with a long face: "What, do you doubt us or look down on us? We kindly offered our help when we saw that you were injured, but you guys were on guard at every turn. You guys are simply insulting us, aren''t you going too far?"


    We''re going too far?


    Qin Er was angered. She thought to herself, who doesn''t know what intentions you two have, not acting with you guys is to protect yourself.


    Qin Er did not say a word, she only went around Chen Ying and the other two wanting to leave.


    Chen Ying snorted: "You''ve insulted us, yet you want to leave? Today, you must come with us, otherwise don''t blame us for being impolite."


    When he spoke, his elemental energy was already fluctuating strongly, as though he would attack at any moment.


    Qin Er clenched her teeth as she looked at Chen Ying, but she did not dare leave, as she was afraid that she would kill her in anger. This was the mountain, it was normal to kill someone, she looked at Di Chen, wanting to ask him for her suggestion.


    Di Chen also knew that he did not have the choice, so he thought for a while and said: "Alright, we''ll go together with you, but we want to find a place to rest for a while."


    When Chen Ying heard this, he smiled and nodded. Then she looked at Gu Feng and Luo Yumeng and said: "They have already agreed, let''s go."


    The three of them headed in the same direction.


    Di Chen and Qin Er looked at each other, and the two still followed him. They secretly thought that things were not going well, and was afraid that they would become bait again.

 C147

    Gu Feng and his group brought Di Chen deeper in, and along the way, they didn''t give Di Chen and Qin Er any time to rest. Two hours later, the two of them arrived in the depths of mountain.


    "We''re here," Gu Feng said as he carefully walked forward and pushed aside the bushes. Right at this moment, he saw a group of demonic beast s in front of him, these demonic beast s had the bodies of foxes, and three tails, this was a rare three-tailed Demon Fox that was very cunning, but their flesh and blood could be used to refine pills, and their fur could be used to make magic tools, hence their value was extremely high. On the market, a Level 1 Demonic King three-tailed Demon Fox could be sold for at least two hundred thousand silver taels.


    In the middle was a very special Spirit Demon Fox, this Spirit Demon Fox''s golden fur looked like gold, it was resting on the ground, its body was releasing a strong aura, this kind of Three Tailed Spirit Fox had at least broken through to Demonic King, this kind of Demonic King was not something an ordinary person could compare to.


    When Di Chen saw these demon foxes, his expression changed. He inwardly thought that these guys couldn''t possibly be using him as bait to lure them, right? These demon foxes were extremely cunning and ferocious.


    Chen Ying looked at Luo Yumeng and asked, "That level four Demonic King is still there. Are we going to move now?"


    It was obvious that Luo Yumeng was the main character, so both Chen Ying and Gu Feng listened to her arrangement.


    Luo Yumeng shot a glance at Di Chen and Qin Er, thought for a bit and shook her head: "We need to recover our spirit energy first, and leave this place first."


    The few of them did not seem confident. After thinking for a while, they left and found another cave to hide in.


    The cave was not big, and it was pitch black inside. The entrance of the cave was filled with vines, so there was no need to worry about those demonic beast coming to find them.


    Chen Ying sat on the ground and asked: "There are five First Rank Demonic King s, five Second Rank Demonic King s, three Third Rank Demonic King s, and one Fourth Rank Demonic King. With just the strength of us, we are unable to kill that many Spirit Demon foxes.


    Luo Yumeng thought for a while and said: "First level and second level Demonic King are not much of a threat to us, but the key is that there are too many of them. Chen Ying, are you confident in being able to deal with them alone?"


    Chen Ying laughed bitterly: "I am only using my Third Level of the Martial King Realm, it would be a bit difficult to deal with so many Demonic King, but I should be able to delay it for a while."


    Luo Yumeng then looked at Gu Feng and asked, "How many third stage Demonic King can you deal with?"


    Gu Feng pondered for a moment, analyzed his own strength, and said: "He can delay two Level 3 Demonic King s."


    Luo Yumeng frowned: "There''s still another Demonic King of the third rank. Given my current strength, I won''t be able to kill that Demonic King of the fourth rank in a short period of time. If you don''t drag it out long enough, we''ll all be in danger."


    The Three Tailed Demon Fox had always been cunning, and its strength was much stronger than demonic beast at the same level. Even Luo Yumeng was unable to kill the Demonic King s of the fourth level in a short period of time.


    Gu Feng glanced at Di Chen and Qin Er, and said: "Seems like I can only try the method I used before, I''ll have to recover my spirit energy first."


    Chen Ying and Luo Yumeng looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.


    Di Chen and Qin Er looked at each other, the two of them knew what the hell they were trying to do, they must be using them as bait, the bait would most likely die, but once they recover their spirit energy, they would move, and then they would be in danger.


    Qin Er immediately took out a pill to recover his spirit energy. If sshe recovered a bit, he would at least have a chance to counter it.


    Chen Ying walked over and snatched the pill over, laughing: "You all do not need to recover your spirit energy, there will be us protecting you all."


    Qin Er said angrily, "This mountain is very dangerous. How can we go down the mountain without elemental energy?"


    Chen Ying was dissatisfied: "I said that we will protect you, what, do you not believe that we have the strength to do so? Or perhaps you want to recover your elemental energy to our disadvantage? "


    If you don''t let us recover our elemental energy, you call that protecting us?


    This was obviously because they were afraid that Qin Er recovering his elemental energy would be detrimental to their movements.


    Qin Er said angrily: "We don''t need your protection, you forced us to come here."


    Gu Feng berated them: "You are such an unreasonable fellow, we protect you with our good intentions, but you all still don''t know what''s good for you, and are even insulting us. Do you believe that I won''t kill you all right now?"


    She could see that Gu Feng was truly planning to kill, if Qin Er spoke again, he was afraid that would kill him, so Qin Er kept quiet.


    Di Chen had an indifferent expression as he took out a book. Just as he was about to read it, Gu Feng snatched it away.


    "You still want to cultivate a cultivation technique?" Gu Feng laughed coldly: "Could it be that you want to learn some cultivation technique to deal with us? We will protect the two of you, but the two of you are constantly on guard against us? Aren''t you going too far?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "Look at that book, it is only a normal book. You all aren''t letting us recover our spirit energy, so do you not allow me to read and pass the time?"


    Gu Feng raised his eyebrows, opened the book and read. This book was called < Autumn Time >, if one were to read it as a scholar, they would know that this book was very common, and was written by the top scholar from the previous batch.


    Gu Feng didn''t read much, so he naturally didn''t know about this book. He threw the book to Luo Yumeng and asked: "Is there a problem with this book?"


    Luo Yumeng flipped open the book and shook her head: "I''ve read this book too, it''s just an ordinary book ¡­"


    After saying that, she curiously looked at Di Chen and asked: "Why would a practitioner like you keep this kind of book by your side?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "Who said that warriors can''t read anymore? Ever since I was young, I have loved to read books, study astronomy, learn geography, and have read a lot of books. Didn''t you also read them before?"


    The reason why Luo Yumeng had read this book was considered to be because it was unexpected, she did not intentionally read it. However, there were too many strange people in this world, so it would not be a big deal for there to be warriors who liked to read books.


    Luo Yumeng was a cautious person, and asked: "Oh right, why do you not have any Yuan Power in your body as a warrior?"


    Di Chen knew that he could not hide this fact, if not the other party would definitely be suspicious, and explained: "I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Pearl of Life, I will not cultivate like other warriors, so I do not have any spirit force in my body, nor do I know of any techniques, but I can absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood, and my power is stronger than most people."


    This Pearl of Life was already enough to cause them to be shocked, so Di Chen knew that they definitely would not think that Di Chen was a literati.


    "Pearl of Life?" Hearing this, even Luo Yumeng was surprised. Of course she knew what the Pearl of Life was, it could transform flesh and blood into strength. This kind of thing was something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought.


    "No wonder ¡­" Gu Feng suddenly realized that, at first, he thought that it was strange that this guy did not have any soul force, but now, he finally understood. He could not help but be a little unconvinced: "If this Pearl of Life was given to a warrior, its cultivation would increase very quickly, but it actually gave it to someone who does not know how to cultivate. What a waste."


    If a warrior consumed a Pearl of Life, not only would his cultivation technique be powerful, even his power would be stronger than ordinary people. But now, the Pearl of Life had been devoured by someone who did not know how to cultivate, and he only knew brute strength and not cultivation techniques.


    Luo Yumeng looked at Di Chen, then suddenly took a big stride forward, and punched at Di Chen.


    Di Chen only felt a gust of wind blowing towards him, his expression changed as he immediately threw out a punch.


    Bang!


    The two fists collided and Di Chen was directly sent flying, heavily smashing against the wall. Then, like a painting, he disappeared as one of his arms was snapped off and hung down powerlessly.


    "What are you doing?" Qin Er was enraged, she immediately supported Di Chen up and asked: "Are you alright?"


    Di Chen endured the pain and said: "My arm is broken, but it''s not really that bad."


    Qin Er then looked at Luo Yumeng: "Why did you suddenly attack, do you want to kill him?"


    Luo Yumeng said calmly: "I just wanted to test out the level of his strength. Even though his strength is much stronger than ordinary people, he is only at the ninth stage of Life Seizing."


    With that, she threw the book straight to Di Chen, no longer bothering to be on guard against him.


    Di Chen was not a normal cultivator, he had only absorbed Demonic beast flesh and blood to raise his strength, there was no Origin Energy in his body, so others could not tell what stage he was at or whether his strength had reached the requirements to enter the Martial King Realm. Now that he saw that Di Chen''s strength was comparable to a person at the ninth stage of the life reaping Realm, she immediately let go of his guard against Di Chen.


    "So weak?" Gu Feng looked at Di Chen with disdain, and cursed: "Usually, trash''s luck is especially good, this Pearl of Life is simply a waste to you."


    However, the Pearl of Life had already been absorbed and refined by Di Chen, so they couldn''t snatch it back, and could only curse in dissatisfaction.


    Chen Ying also could not be bothered, they started to consume pills to recover their spirit energy, but did not allow Qin Er to recover her spirit energy.


    Di Chen knew that the other party was only testing him, it seemed like he did not suspect his identity as a scholar. He took out a pill and was about to recover from his injuries, but Chen Ying snatched the pill away.


    Di Chen said angrily: "You can''t even recover from your injuries?"


    Chen Ying laughed: "You do not need to recuperate, we have already said before that we will protect you."


    Di Chen looked at them with a face full of anger. These fellows even wanted to throw their lives away, but he couldn''t say anything, so he endured the pain and picked up the book again.


    "He''s still reading, idiot." Chen Ying did not stop Di Chen from reading. It wasn''t like he was allowed to recover his spirit energy from reading, so Qin Er sat beside Di Chen and nestled against his body while looking at him.


    Qin Er knew that Di Chen was a literati, and that literati was different from martial practitioners. Although he did not understand literati, she knew that Di Chen must have his reasons for reading books, and now, she could only rely on Di Chen.


    The words in this book were beautiful, the words written were beautiful, even Di Chen found it hard to believe. As she read, the power of a scholar slowly entered into Di Chen''s body, his power of a scholar slowly recovering. This kind of power was not something that a scholar could feel, so Chen Ying and the other two did not.

 C148

    After looking at it for about four hours, Di Chen finally recovered the power of a scholar. He was confident that with his current strength, he could easily kill one of Gu Feng and Gu Feng, but with the three of them together, Di Chen did not have the confidence to do so.


    Di Chen thought for a while, picked up another rock, and wrote the word ''freeze'' on the ground. This word was very ordinary, so no one would care about it, but when Qin Er saw this, her face lit up with joy.


    After writing the word "set", Di Chen wrote another word, "spear". These were Di Chen''s most practical two formula, but Di Chen did not write too much.


    "Hmm?" Chen Ying was the first one to recover her elemental energy. He opened her eyes and saw Di Chen writing, frowning: "What are you doing? Could it be that you want to harm us in secret?"


    Di Chen shot a glance at Chen Ying and ridiculed him: "If I like reading, then I naturally like to write. You actually think that I have secretly harmed all of you, for a person with Third Level of the Martial King Realm to be so cowardly?"


    Chen Ying thought that Di Chen did not have any spirit energy, and strength was only Lifestealer Realm, so even if he did something, he would not be a threat to himself. He did not care and snorted: "You actually dare to mock me, don''t you know that I can kill you right now."


    Di Chen could not be bothered with him and continued to read and write.


    At this time, Chen Ying walked in front of Qin Er and looked at her maliciously.


    Qin Er leaned towards Di Chen. She knew that Chen Ying had good intentions.


    Chen Ying stared at Qin Er for a while, then laughed: "Speaking of which, you are quite beautiful. I have not seen many women in the mountain for a long time, it is truly boring.


    Hearing that, Qin Er''s face changed, and she asked cautiously: What are you trying to do?


    Chen Ying laughed: "We will protect you, so at least you have to be grateful to us."


    Qin Er said angrily, "We don''t need your protection at all. You were the one who protected us by force, why should I be grateful to you?"


    Chen Ying''s face sank, and said in a low voice: "You still dare to say that, you, who do not know how to be grateful, should be taught a lesson."


    With that said, he pounced towards Qin Er, and actually wanted to tear off Qin Er''s clothes.


    Di Chen blocked Qin Er and said: "We still have some pills on us, you can take all of them. After we leave, we will prepare some pills to thank you all."


    Chen Ying threw all the pills on Di Chen''s body out, and said: "All of the pills on you are trash, what do I need them for? Besides, you all don''t even know how to be grateful right now, will you all still be grateful to us after you guys leave?


    As she spoke, she crazily pounced towards Qin Er and tore at her clothes. Qin Er did not have any spirit energy, so she was unable to use her cultivation technique.


    "Di Chen, save me," Qin Er''s tears flowed as he begged in pain.


    Di Chen''s eyes turned cold, the power of the scholar slowly gushed out, as if he wanted to kill Chen Ying.


    "Stop," Luo Yumeng suddenly woke up, and berated: "Who told you to do this?"


    Chen Ying did not stop and said disapprovingly: "She''s about to die anyway, what''s wrong with that."


    Although Luo Yumeng clearly said that she did not care whether Qin Er lived or died, she did not like Chen Ying''s actions much. Furthermore, Chen Ying had directly said that Qin Er was about to die, wasn''t this basically telling them that she wanted to use them?


    Seeing that Chen Ying actually did not stop, she said coldly: "Do you believe that I would kill you right now?"


    Chen Ying only felt a gust of cold air entering her body, he was scared and quickly let go of Qin Er, he knew that if she did not let go, Luo Yumeng would really kill him.


    Gu Feng did not expect Chen Ying to do this, and frowned: "Chen Ying, that Three Tailed Demon Fox is more important, don''t do such a useless thing right now."


    Killing the Three Tailed Demon Foxes required the use of these two. Previously, when they forcefully brought the two over to anger them, they did not dare say anything. However, Gu Feng could not do anything too excessive, otherwise, it would cause trouble, which would at least harm their hunting of Demon Foxes.


    Chen Ying snorted as she looked at Qin Er, but the look in his eyes showed that he did not plan on giving up.


    Di Chen looked at Chen Ying hatefully, walked to Qin Er''s side and helped her put on her clothes: "How is it?"


    Qin Er clenched her teeth as she stared at Chen Ying. This was the first time she was bullied like this, causing tears to flow down her face.


    Di Chen hugged Qin Er, and comforted him: "It''ll be fine once we leave this place."


    The meaning of these words were that they would definitely be able to leave, which could be considered as Di Chen''s guarantee to Qin Er.


    Qin Er was slightly relieved when she heard this, she knew that since Di Chen was confident then he would be fine. Previously, she was still opposed to following Di Chen, but now, she was actually glad to be together with Di Chen.


    Chen Ying on the other hand, had a cold smile on her face, secretly thinking, you still want to leave this place alive, but she did not say these words out loud.


    Luo Yumeng looked at Chen Ying and said, "You two should have recovered your spirit energy."


    Both men nodded.


    Luo Yumeng said earnestly: Then let''s go now, mountain is too dangerous, we have to kill that demon fox before we leave, we need to go.


    With that, she walked out, Chen Ying and Gu Feng followed along, Di Chen and Qin Er looked at each other, they had no choice but to follow.


    Qin Er knew that this was not going to end well, and whispered to Di Chen: "What do we do?"


    Di Chen laughed, indicating that he was fine. Then, a black light flashed in his eyes, and he saw that the three opponents had a black line above their heads;


    Di Chen''s power slowly gushed out. Originally, he wanted to wipe out all three of their lives, but Di Chen had only used this move to deal with Li Yuan before, and Li Yuan was weaker than him in the first place, but these three people were stronger than him, so Di Chen did not dare to act recklessly. He first channeled his power into Chen Ying''s HP and quietly wiped away a small portion of Chen Ying''s HP.


    "Hmm?" Chen Ying suddenly stopped.


    Luo Yumeng frowned: "What''s going on?"


    Chen Ying hugged his body and said: "Nothing, it''s just that I suddenly feel a little cold in my body, as if there is killing intent."


    Previously, when Luo Yumeng looked at him, she had the same feeling.


    Gu Feng said with a strange expression on his face. "Why are you so cold in this broad daylight? I don''t feel anything at all, could it be that some powerful demonic beast here has noticed you?"


    Although this was the deepest part of mountain, it was a place with plenty of light. It was strange for warriors to say that it was cold, unless there was a strong demonic beast here.


    Luo Yumeng looked around warily, and then shook her head: "I don''t feel any demonic Qi, if there is any demonic beast, it is possible that its power has reached a level beyond our imagination, we should leave this place first."


    The few of them quickened their pace. mountain was too dangerous, they did not dare to stay any longer.


    Di Chen also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not erase the three people''s HP just now, as his cultivation was weaker than them. Erasing their HP was equivalent to taking away their lives, so they could naturally feel it.


    Furthermore, I, Di Chen had just realised that it took too much human power to wipe out someone stronger than myself, Di Chen had only wiped out a small portion of Chen Ying''s life earlier and had already used up 10% of my scholar power. If this were to continue, then Di Chen would have used up at least half of my scholar power to completely erase Chen Ying''s HP, but Di Chen did not need to immediately kill Chen Ying, as it was not beneficial to him, he needed to kill Chen Ying at the critical moment.


    The few of them continued moving forward as Di Chen carefully wiped away Chen Ying''s HP bar this time. Although Chen Ying still felt a chill this time, the situation was much better than before, so he did not mind it.


    After an hour, they returned to the place where the Three Tailed Demon Foxes were hidden, and hid in the grass.


    Luo Yumeng said seriously: "Let''s begin, try to attract as many Spirit Demon Foxes as possible so that I can concentrate on killing that level four Demonic King."


    Gu Feng''s gaze landed on Di Chen. After thinking about it, he looked at Qin Er and said, "Go over to the left side and attract the attention of those demon foxes."


    These guys really wanted to use him as bait.


    Qin Er said angrily: "I don''t have any elemental energy in my body, I will be instantly killed when I go over. Do you want me to die?"


    Gu Feng said coldly, "We will protect you guys, don''t tell me you guys can''t make any sacrifices?"


    Qin Er thought to himself, we did not ask for your protection, did you guys try to protect us by force, and now you''re asking us to sacrifice ourselves for you?


    Di Chen pulled Qin Er, not allowing her to be rash, and said calmly: "I''ll go."


    "You?" Chen Ying sneered: "You only have the strength of your Lifestealer Realm, you don''t even have any Origin Energy, what''s the use of you going?"


    Although Qin Er didn''t have any soul force, she still wouldn''t be killed instantly. At the very least, she would be able to attract those demon foxes for a period of time, and Di Chen only had the strength of her Lifestealer Realm. She would be killed in two or three seconds at most.


    Luo Yumeng said calmly: "Let the two of them go together."


    Chen Ying was worried: "But what if they run away?"


    This was also because she was worried that she would need to use bait later, so Chen Ying didn''t want both of them to die.


    How could Gu Feng not understand what Chen Ying meant? He thought for a while and said: "Anyway, we will go down the mountain after we kill this demon fox, and the two of them will cooperate with each other for a period of time. The longer they live, the greater the benefits will be."


    Although Chen Ying didn''t want to do it, she could only agree. She looked at Qin Er and Di Chen and said: "Don''t say that we didn''t protect you, you guys would have already died on this road. Go and attract those demon foxes, if you can survive, we can still protect you down the mountain."


    Qin Er was a little angry when she heard it. You forced us to come along this path, and you call this protecting us?


    Di Chen did not immediately take action because he had not completely erased Chen Ying''s HP. Currently, Chen Ying still had a month to live, so she had to think of a way to make Chen Ying live for at most a few minutes in order for him to have the chance to escape.

 C149

    Di Chen stared at Chen Ying and said somewhat angrily: "So you only wanted us to be bait. If you had let Qin Er recover her spirit energy, then we can at least lure a few Three Tailed Demon Foxes out, and also have a better chance of survival. The possibility of you hunting those Three Tailed Demon Foxes will also be higher, but you did not let us recover.


    Theoretically speaking, it was true. Based on the cultivation levels of Di Chen and Qin Er, two of their recovered injuries could at least defend against a level three Demonic King. And right now, the two of them were just looking to die.


    Chen Ying sneered: "If we were to tell the truth, would you guys be so kind as to lead away those demon foxes for us, that would be foolish."


    Di Chen scolded them: "You have already forced us to come here, even if we don''t want to attract the demonic beast, but those demon foxes do not know that we are not willing to fight with them, and will still attack us, in order to protect our lives, we will fight against them, the results will be the same."


    Chen Ying was speechless for a moment. What Di Chen had said was right, they had been forced to come, it was impossible for him to not fight with those demon foxes.


    Gu Feng disapproved: "Even so, who knows what trouble your recovery of spirit energy will bring us, furthermore, we don''t need you to attract too many demon foxes, you just need to attract a few of us to kill them, that''s all your value."


    According to Di Chen''s words, it was indeed more likely for Gu Feng and the others to hunt demon foxes, but the problem was that Gu Feng was afraid that Di Chen would cause trouble, so he decided to not let them recover their spirit energy.


    Luo Yumeng also said, "What you said makes sense, but we don''t believe you. Furthermore, since it has already happened, let''s not talk about anything else, you guys can go ahead, as long as you can live, it will depend on your abilities. If you guys are still alive before we kill the other Spirit Demon Foxes, I will save you all."


    In fact, if they had a good talk with Di Chen, maybe he would agree to it. With Di Chen''s strength, killing these demon foxes wasn''t difficult at all, but these guys didn''t want Di Chen to recover from his injuries. They were only using him as bait, but now Di Chen wanted to kill them.


    They still didn''t know what kind of guy they had offended.


    Di Chen and Qin Er looked at each other, and the two of them stealthily snuck towards the left side. Di Chen had already bought himself more than enough time, he had already wiped away Chen Ying''s HP to barely a minute.


    Chen Ying did not know that she was already at the end of her life, so he and Gu Feng immediately headed in the other direction.


    The moment the two parties appeared, the Spirit Demon Fox dashed towards them. At the same time, Luo Yumeng also killed the Demonic King.


    "Qin Er, hide behind my back," Di Chen intentionally kept a distance from those demon foxes, so a few Level One Demonic King s came to attack Di Chen, and Demonic King of this level posed no threat to him at all.


    The two Spirit Demon Foxes pounced towards Di Chen, who shouted, "Settle!"


    The set formula was Di Chen''s simplest set of formula. Now that Di Chen''s cultivation was so much stronger than before, he did not even need to write the set formula out.


    After that, the two Spirit Demon Foxes stopped. Di Chen quickly said, "Qin Er, let''s kill them together."


    Qin Er''s spirit energy was routed, the technique could not be used, and could only use Spirit Sword to slash at the demon foxes. These two demon foxes stood there stupidly as Di Chen and Qin Er chopped at them, naturally they could not take it, and were quickly killed by the two of them.


    "Hmm? "These two guys seem to be quite strong," This scene naturally made the distant Chen Ying see. He originally thought that Di Chen and Di Chen wouldn''t be able to hold on for long, and didn''t expect them to kill two Rank One Demonic King so quickly. This made him a little fearful, thinking that the two of them seemed to have concealed their strength.


    Luo Yumeng was startled when she saw this, and said: "Looks like they are much stronger than we imagined. This is even better, Gu Feng, go and help Chen Ying fight against those Level 3 Demonic King, leave those Level 2 Demonic King to them."


    It would be hard for Chen Ying to take care of the three Demonic King s by herself, and the amount of time she could endure might even be less than Di Chen and Qin Er. Gu Feng immediately rushed towards Chen Ying, and handed over the first and second level Demonic King s to him.


    Seeing Gu Feng''s help, Chen Ying finally heaved a sigh of relief and laughed: "If this goes on, we might have a chance to kill all of these demon foxes. It seems like we have made these two people our bait."


    Now, the three of them clearly had the upper hand, and Luo Yumeng had also defeated the Demonic King s of the fourth level step after step, giving it the opportunity to kill him at any time.


    "These guys really deserve to die, they don''t care about our lives," Qin Er scolded angrily. It was impossible for the two of them to resist too many Demonic King s, yet these guys pushed all of these Level 1 and 2 Demonic King s onto him in order to kill those Level 4 Demonic King s?


    Di Chen said calmly: "Don''t worry, this Chen Ying is about to die in a few seconds. Qin Er, let''s escape quickly."


    The two of them were no longer in the mood for battle, directly fleeing into the distance, while those demon foxes chased after them. Luckily, there weren''t many of them.


    "These two guys actually ran away. After we kill these demon foxes, I''ll definitely kill them with my own hands."


    Gu Feng snorted, to him, Di Chen''s actions were akin to betrayal, he did not like betrayal.


    Chen Ying laughed coldly: "We don''t need them anymore. Just now, we have already killed a third level Demonic King, before long, we will be able to kill these demon foxes."


    However, just as he said that, Chen Ying''s body suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and fell straight onto the ground, breathless.


    "He''s dead?" Gu Feng''s face was filled with disbelief. Chen Ying was not injured, how did she suddenly die?


    When Chen Ying died, the Spirit Demon Foxes all rushed towards him frantically, but how could Gu Feng defend against them all by herself? One of the Spirit Demon Foxes broke one of Gu Feng''s arm, causing blood to gush out, as he was unable to defend against them at all.


    Gu Feng looked at Luo Yumeng and bellowed: Yu Luo, Chen Ying is dead, let''s leave quickly.


    "What?" Luo Yumeng was also in disbelief, just now she was fine, how did she suddenly die?


    When she looked at Gu Feng again, she discovered that he was surrounded by a group of demon foxes. He wouldn''t be able to hold on for long, so if Gu Feng died, those demon foxes would naturally attack her.


    Luo Yumeng immediately gave up on fighting with the Level 4 demon fox and went to face the demon foxes that were surrounding and attacking Gu Feng. With a swing of her sword, a sword aura exploded the demon foxes up and then pulled Gu Feng and ran. The demon foxes followed closely behind, but after leaving their territory, the demon foxes gave up in their pursuit.


    Somewhere in mountain.


    Gu Feng took out a medicinal pellet to heal his injuries, but his face was still pale white, and he said unwillingly: "Just a little more and we can kill those demon foxes, damn it."


    Luo Yumeng frowned: "How did Chen Ying die?"


    Gu Feng shook his head: "I don''t know either, he wasn''t injured, and wasn''t killed by the demon fox."


    Luo Yumeng was startled: "Could it be those two did something?"


    Gu Feng shook his head: "Impossible, among those two, one of them does not have any spirit energy, and only has the cultivation of Lifestealer Realm. The other one is exhausted, so it shouldn''t be them, and died a strange death, as if he was cursed.


    Chen Ying died too suddenly, it wasn''t like being poisoned, and it wasn''t an injury either. The most likely cause of death was the Western legends'' spells, but the number of people who knew of such techniques were too few, so Gu Feng didn''t think that Di Chen and Yue Yang would actually know such techniques.


    Luo Yumeng said in a low voice: "No matter what, this matter is mostly related to the two of them, they deserve to die, I want to kill them."


    Originally, this time, it would be very easy to kill those demon foxes, but not only did he not kill those level 4 Demonic King s, even Chen Ying had died.


    Somewhere in the mountain, Di Chen stopped those few chasing demon foxes immediately and then used the Broken formula to kill those demon foxes. It was very easy, in fact, Di Chen had held back his strength in front of Luo Yumeng and the other two earlier, he did not want them to see how easy it was for him to deal with a level one Demonic King.


    Luo Yumeng could not let them see her strength. Only then would they be careless, and would Di Chen be able to succeed in his sneak attack.


    "Di Chen, how exactly did you kill Chen Ying?"


    Earlier, Di Chen did not attack Chen Ying, nor did she see what methods Di Chen used to kill Chen Ying.


    Di Chen laughed: "This is a cultivation technique that I learned from a book, it can kill people without leaving a trace. Didn''t Chen Ying feel cold earlier, it must have been me."


    Qin Er thought for a while, then said: "Your literati''s techniques are truly powerful, why didn''t you kill the other two?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "Killing Chen Ying is already exhausting my powers as a scholar, I have no way of killing the other two. I might even be discovered by them too, let''s hurry up and leave, those two people will definitely not let us off."


    In reality, Di Chen could not quietly wipe away another''s HP without leaving a trace. Earlier, Chen Ying had also detected it, but Chen Ying did not think that it was Di Chen who was killing him.


    Qin Er was worried: "My spirit force has not recovered yet, your injuries are getting heavier and heavier, your scholar energy is also exhausted, we need to find a place to hide."


    Di Chen hesitated for a moment before saying: "Like this, when we return to the cave we entered previously, the most dangerous place would be the safest place. They would definitely not think that we would return there, and if they cannot find us, they will give up."


    After all, this mountain was too dangerous, and the two of them couldn''t possibly stay in the mountain all this time to search for Di Chen.


    Qin Er had no idea, so she was prepared to do whatever Di Chen said.


    The two of them returned to the cave once more. Qin Er took out the pills and quickly recovered her spirit energy, but Di Chen did not immediately read and recover his powers, instead, he used a stone to carve one word "Set" and one word "Spear" on the wall.

 C150

    After he finished carving, took out the pill and started to recover from his injuries. Previously, he had been severely injured by the Snake Tiger Beast, and after fighting with the Demon Fox, he had received an old and new injury, which Di Chen had reached his limits, but luckily Di Chen had brought a lot of pills with him, and his injuries recovered in an hour. He then took out the book and started to read again, and started to recover the powers of the scholars in his body.


    Di Chen moved his body, thinking that if he were to meet the both of them again, he would have the strength to fight them, so Gu Feng was nothing, but Luo Yumeng was a problem, and a Fighter 4-dan is not something Di Chen could handle.


    After four more hours, Qin Er finally woke up from her cultivation. She stood up and said excitedly: "We have finally recovered.


    Di Chen looked outside the cave. It was already dark and the roars of demonic beast could be heard everywhere. He shook his head and said, "It''s too dangerous to go out at night.


    Qin Er was worried: "There is nowhere to run in this cave, if they come looking for us, I''m afraid we''ll be in danger."


    Di Chen pointed to the densely packed words in the cave and said: "I have already set up these formula s, if you guys were to come in, I would definitely be able to heavily injure them."


    Although he said it like that, in truth, Di Chen wasn''t confident either. After all, Luo Yumeng''s realm was too high, but the problem was that it was safest to stay in the cave.


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, Qin Er felt a bit more relieved, as she had completely listened to Di Chen''s arrangements.


    Sou sou!


    Right at this moment, two gusts of wind sounded out, two people rushed into the cave, it was actually Gu Feng and Luo Yumeng, when they spoke about the two of them, they actually came over.


    "Sure enough, you all have returned here. You all are truly crafty." said while gnashing his teeth. Today, they had always been searching for the whereabouts of the two, but they did not manage to find them. In the end, Luo Yumeng still suspected that the two had already returned to the cave and came to take a look, who knows if it was true.


    Di Chen laughed: "We really did find them, did we kill those demon foxes?"


    This was clearly mocking the two of them.


    Gu Feng trembled in anger: "We protected you with good intentions, but you guys actually killed Chen Ying in secret, do you think you two deserve to die?"


    Qin Er snorted: We do not need your protection at all, we are just protecting him by force. Furthermore, you do not have any intentions of protecting him, you just want to use us as bait, if you don''t kill him, don''t expect him to kill us, furthermore he is taking advantage of me, he deserves to die.


    Di Chen also said: "So we were able to help you all kill those demons, but you all never thought of letting us live at all, and just wanted us to be bait, you all brought this upon yourselves, if you all want to kill us then don''t worry about it, don''t bother looking for an excuse."


    After Gu Feng heard this, he wanted to make his move.


    Luo Yumeng blocked Di Chen and stared coldly at him: "You seem to be completely confident, I think you must have some trump cards. Let me ask you, how exactly did you kill Chen Ying?"


    Upon thinking about how Chen Ying died in such a strange manner, Gu Feng was somewhat afraid. Although her realm was higher than Di Chen''s, she could not see through him.


    Di Chen said in a relaxed manner: "How could I tell you something like this, you just need to make a move and you''ll know."


    Gu Feng saw that Di Chen was fearless and said angrily: "Why are you wasting your breath on him. If we attack, I don''t believe that the two of them will be able to kill us."


    Di Chen laughed, then shouted loudly: "Settle."


    Just as Gu Feng was about to rush over, his body suddenly stopped, as though he could not feel the existence of his body, and he was unable to move.


    "What''s going on?" Gu Feng had never seen this kind of Fa Li before. He remembered that when Di Chen killed those Spirit Demon Foxes, he had used it before, but Gu Feng was only using his Third Level of the Martial King Realm after all. It wasn''t easy for Di Chen to stop him either.


    Just then, Di Chen made a hand sign again, and a spear shot out from the wall towards Gu Feng, with a ''chi'' sound, it penetrated through Gu Feng.


    Gu Feng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. With an expression of disbelief, he looked at the hole where fresh blood was flowing out of. Then, he fell face first onto the ground and instantly died.


    "This ¡­" Luo Yumeng gasped, this guy actually killed Gu Feng in an instant?


    When Luo Yumeng looked at the wall again, she found that the wall was filled with words. She said with a face of shock: "No wonder you''re so confident, it seems like you''ve been waiting for us for a long time. What kind of technique is this, for you to be able to kill Gu Feng without using his Lifestealer Realm."


    She suddenly thought of Chen Ying''s death. Chen Ying''s death was very strange, and Di Chen''s technique was very rare, she suddenly thought that maybe Chen Ying was killed by Di Chen''s special techniques, if it was true, then this fellow was not so simple.


    Di Chen did not hide anything and laughed: "My power is at the ninth stage of life stealing, but I am still a literati, at the first stage of the King Wen, which is equivalent to the first stage of the Martial King realm. These formula are only the skills I cultivate, and I did indeed kill Chen Ying earlier.


    "literati?" Luo Yumeng had also heard of the literati, but she had never seen it before. She said in shock: "I never thought that you were actually the literati, no wonder you dared to come to this mountain."


    Qin Er snorted: "That''s why I said you''re stupid. If you had forced us to be your bait earlier, maybe we could have helped you kill those demon foxes. With Di Chen''s help, you definitely could have easily killed those demon foxes, but you just wanted us to give them to you.


    On one hand, Luo Yumeng didn''t believe in Di Chen and Qin Er, and on the other hand, she felt that the two of them were too weak and could only be used as bait. Luo Yumeng felt that he wouldn''t use them as bait if he knew that they had the ability.


    "But the situation is already like this. You have already killed Gu Feng and Chen Ying, there is nothing you can do about it, all I am going to kill you."


    In the end, Luo Yumeng did not plan on letting go of Di Chen. Taking a step forward, a huge palm ruthlessly smashed towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen and Qin Er struck out at the same time, the powerful force hitting the fist projection and with a pu sound, the fist projection immediately dissipated. However, Di Chen and Qin Er were also blown away by the impact and crashed into the wall.


    Taking this opportunity, Luo Yumeng took another step towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately grabbed onto the formula and with one word, Luo Yumeng''s body froze for a moment. But in the next moment, she continued to rush towards Di Chen, at this time Di Chen had changed to a Method of travelling, a long spear shot out from the wall, the long spears were so dense that there was no room to dodge.


    She could smash a spear with each of her swords, but there were too many formula carved on the ground by Di Chen just now. It was impossible for Luo Yumeng to block so many spears, so she was directly struck by them and was drenched in blood.


    However, she did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately rushed out of the cave. After leaving the cave, Luo Yu''s face was completely pale, just a moment ago, it was still too scary, but she could feel that if she stayed any longer, she would definitely be shot like a sieve.


    She had used up most of her elemental energy and was also injured, so she might as well kill her opponent. Furthermore, her own blood would definitely absorb the demonic beast, hence she did not dare to stay, and quickly escaped into the distance.


    Seeing Luo Yumeng leave, Qin Er said excitedly: "Di Chen, you''re so powerful, even a fourth stage Martial King was severely injured by you."


    "It''s not as easy as you think," Di Chen laughed bitterly, then fell down onto the ground. He did not know that if Luo Yumeng had continued to persevere, her scholar power would have been depleted, and at that time, Di Chen and Qin Er would have been dead for sure.


    In fact, the reason why Di Chen was able to defeat Luo Yumeng by luck just now was because the cave was too small, so Luo Yumeng was naturally unable to withstand the densely packed pikes inside the cave. If it was outside, the pikes would not have posed such a threat to Luo Yumeng, and that was also why Di Chen insisted on hiding in the cave.


    Seeing Di Chen''s pale face, Qin Er immediately said: "Quickly sit down and rest, recover the power of a scholar as soon as possible."


    "Alright," Di Chen thought, if Luo Yumeng were to come back at this time, she would be in danger, so she immediately sat on the ground cross legged, wanting to recover her powers as a scholar.


    "Eh? What''s that?" Right at this moment, Di Chen suddenly saw an order badge lying on the ground, he picked it up and read it: Shang Jian is written on it, Di Chen''s face changed, Yu Xuanji previously said that the ancient sects'' Shanghai Sword Pavilion s have appeared, they have already chosen their new successors, Di Chen did not think that he would meet the successor of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion here, it was truly a narrow path for enemies.


    "Not good," Di Chen thought, the order badge was very important, Luo Yumeng did not want her identity to be revealed, she would definitely return to look for the order badge, no matter how dangerous it was, she would definitely snatch it back, he quickly looked at Qin Er and said: "Let''s leave this place quickly."


    Qin Er said with a face of doubt: "Luo Yumeng won''t dare to come back for a while, once he returns and your powers as a scholar recovers, she won''t be able to kill you even in the cave, isn''t it too dangerous for us to leave now?"


    Di Chen shook her head: "You don''t know, it was just me that luckily injured Luo Yumeng. She didn''t bring out her true strength, and when she returns later on, she will definitely do everything she can to kill us. Don''t ask so much questions now, hurry up and follow us."


    Although Qin Er did not understand why Di Chen said that, she knew that Di Chen had his reasons, and immediately followed Di Chen out of the cave.


    Just as Di Chen thought, not long after the two of them left, Luo Yumeng came back with a murderous look on her face. However, Di Chen and Qin Er had already left, and her order badge had also disappeared.


    Luo Yumeng was very clear that her order badge had fallen into Di Chen''s hands, but she did not know about Di Chen and Qin Er''s bodies, and it would not be easy to find them.

 C151

    Di Chen brought Qin Er and sprinted all the way back, as he was curious about what kind of terrifying things he would encounter. Ignoring the possibility that the unscrupulous running of the mountain might attract demonic beast, Di Chen finally stopped after running for two hours. He leaned against a tree and sat down, panting heavily.


    Qin Er had a puzzled look on her face as she asked, "Di Chen, what exactly happened? Why are you so afraid?"


    Di Chen took out the Shanghai Sword Pavilion''s command medallion and reminded him: "Before, I saw an ancient book about the ten great sects. These sects controlled the entire Martial Region Continent, and for some reason, they were exterminated, but a few years ago, I heard from a senior that these ten great sects had been rebuilt, and this Shanghai Sword Pavilion is one of them. Some of the sects already have new successors, so I think that Luo Yumeng is definitely the successor to the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, and their identities cannot be known to anyone, if we find out now, she will definitely kill us."


    "The top ten ancient sects?" Qin Er raised her eyebrows. Naturally, she had also heard of these ten great sects, but she had never heard that they would reappear again. With a face of doubt, she said, "I''ve cultivated for so many years, but I''ve never heard of such a thing."


    knew that it was actually Yu Xuanji who had told him the truth, and no one else knew as well. In order to not arouse suspicion, Di Chen had casually come up with an excuse, and said: "I have also heard of it before, but the ten great sects are extremely ferocious. Their re-emergence must be another great calamity, and this Luo Yumeng who was able to inherit the Shanghai Sword Pavilion must not be a good person."


    Qin Er was a little afraid after hearing what Di Chen said, and said anxiously: "The ten great sects re-emerging is not a small matter, we have to inform the teachers of the academy immediately."


    Di Chen shook his head. "I believe that the teachers in the academy have long heard of this, but since they secretly kept it a secret, it doesn''t mean that it should be made public. You should stop asking and pretend that you don''t know about this sort of thing, otherwise you''ll definitely be in danger."


    What Qin Er said was scary, but Qin Er instinctively chose to believe him and said: "Then I''ll listen to you, and won''t say it."


    In truth, he did not want the ten great sects to attract attention, as he was the heir to the Eternal Gate, but Di Chen was not lying, some of the more influential people in the Martial Region Continent already knew that the ten great sects had appeared, and their appearance would be a big blow to the Martial Region Continent, but it was not necessarily a bad thing.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen rested for a while, then brought Qin Er and left.


    Qin Er asked doubtfully: "It''s night now, there are too many demonic beast, where are we going?"


    Di Chen laughed, and then took out a squirrel from his bosom. This was the small fruit, after coming back from Thousand Monster Mountain, the small fruit had always been following Di Chen, and hid in his embrace every day. This squirrel was very clever, the moment it appeared, it knew that it would be in danger, so when there were many people, it would not show itself, and Di Chen had never let it show itself.


    small fruit hated being lifted like this by Di Chen the most. He waved his two little claws in the air, wanting to scratch Di Chen, but he couldn''t, and instead looked kind of cute.


    Qin Er curiously moved closer to small fruit and poked him with his finger. She asked curiously: "What kind of demonic beast is this?


    Di Chen laughed: "This is something that I met before when I was cultivating, it has been following me for the past few months. Although it doesn''t have much strength, but it is indeed very intelligent, smarter than average people. This mountain is dangerous, it will be safer to have it to lead the way."


    Although the small fruit did not live in the mountain, he was still a demonic beast and was very sensitive to the dangers in the mountain.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen said as he placed the small fruit on the ground and let it lead the way. The small fruit smelled danger from that direction and then moved in a certain direction.


    After walking for about four hours, Di Chen found another cave. small fruit first went to the cave to take a look, and then rushed out after a while.


    Di Chen and Qin Er entered the cave. The cave was not big, it was very humid, but at least it was relatively safer inside. Di Chen picked up some tree branches and leaves and threw them on the ground for Qin Er to rest.


    Although Qin Er was a warrior, and her physical fitness was better than ordinary people, a warrior had her limits. Qin Er was already exhausted after traveling for a few hours, this state did not allow her to rush tomorrow, so she did not refuse and hid on the ground to rest.


    It was too dark at night so Di Chen had no way of recovering his elemental energy through writing or reading. He could not light the fire, as lighting the fire at night would draw in demonic beast s, so he could only watch the cave to prevent demonic beast s from attacking.


    The second day, Qin Er woke up from her deep slumber in the east, and after a good sleep, her spirit had finally recovered. Her spirit was full of spirit energy, and facing a demonic beast, it was not too dangerous for her, but Di Chen seemed to be a lot weaker, and the strength of a scholar hadn''t recovered yet. After a night of not closing her eyes, her mind was about to collapse.


    After four hours, Di Chen finally woke up. He was brimming with energy, he started to read and write again, he had to quickly restore the powers of a scholar.


    "How is it?" Qin Er looked at Di Chen and asked, it seemed that Di Chen had recovered quite a bit.


    Di Chen stretched his body and said: "It''s fine now, even if she meets Luo Yumeng she might not be able to kill us."


    Qin Er was overjoyed, "That''s great, let''s hurry back to the Academy."


    Di Chen shook his head: "It''s not easy to come to mountain, but I haven''t even broken through. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?


    "What?" However, she did not expect that Di Chen still had such a crazy idea. She said: "I am only at the first level of the Martial King realm, and you are only at the first level of the King Wen. Even if the two of us added up, we would still not be able to defeat those fourth level Demonic King, not to mention those several second or third level Demonic King s."


    Di Chen chuckled, "Actually, those first or second stage Demonic King are not even a threat to the two of us. The most important thing are the remaining two third stage Demonic King and the fourth stage Demonic King, we can lure them away and kill them one by one."


    Qin Er was still a little worried. "Di Chen, are you really prepared to take the risk?"


    Di Chen said without hesitation: "Of course, but not now. I have to wait until I break through to the Martial King realm."


    Qin Er looked at Di Chen weirdly, and thought to himself about how you can break through warriors since you are not a warrior. However, she thought that Di Chen could absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood and raise his strength, so although he couldn''t use a cultivation technique, he could still reach Martial King Realm.


    Then, Di Chen took out the Snake Tiger Beast''s corpse from before and grabbed onto its flesh and blood. The Pearl of Life s started to revolve frantically, and the blood and flesh of the demonic beast slowly fused into Di Chen''s body, but the difference between Di Chen and the Snake Tiger Beast was too huge, so absorbing it slowly. In fact, it was most suitable for Di Chen to absorb level 1 or 2 Demonic King s now, but since he had a level 4 Demonic King, it saved him a lot of time to kill the demonic beast.


    Earlier, Qin Er had heard that Di Chen could absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood, but she had never seen it before. Right now, when she saw that Di Chen could really convert Demonic beast flesh and blood into his own strength, she was a little envious.


    Di Chen only felt a huge amount of energy entering his body, and every inch of his flesh and blood was filled with a sense of power. However, Di Chen realized that after absorbing half of the Demonic beast flesh and blood, his power had already reached saturation, and could no longer be further strengthened.


    "What''s going on?" No matter what, Di Chen''s power could not be imposed. It was as if the power had disappeared into thin air.


    Qin Er saw that Di Chen had stopped cultivating and asked curiously: "Di Chen, your strength has reached the level of a Martial King?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "No, it''s still at the level of the Lifestealer Realm Realm. I feel like my strength has been devoured."


    Qin Er said thoughtfully: "Actually this is the same as when we warriors consume medicinal pellets to break through Martial King Realm. After our spirit energy has reached the saturation point, no matter how you swallow the pellet, it will be useless because your body has already reached its limit. At this time, you will need to consume a Bone Ablutionary Pellet, which can wash your hair and cut your bones, transform your body, and allow your body to endure more spirit energy.


    Di Chen was not like the other warriors who did not know of this principle, and bitterly laughed: "If I did not have the Laundry Marrow Pill, wouldn''t I be unable to break through the Martial King Realm?"


    Qin Er laughed and said, "Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead is not that rare, I have it with me right now."


    As she spoke, she took out a red pellet which exuded an enticing fragrance. Di Chen swallowed the Marrow Washing Pellet, and as the pellet dissolved into his body, a cool sensation fused into Di Chen''s flesh and blood, causing him to feel as if there were bugs crawling inside his body. Then, he saw traces of smelly black liquid flowing out of his body, and these were the impurities in Di Chen''s body.


    Di Chen also felt that his body seemed to be extremely relaxed, as if there was a huge space in his body that could hold an endless amount of power.


    "So smelly," Qin Er pinched her nose and said with disgust. "Hurry up and find a place to wash up before coming back to cultivate."


    Di Chen immediately found a river and washed his body dry before returning to continue absorbing the Demonic beast flesh and blood. It was as Qin Er had said, this time Di Chen once again felt a huge wave of energy entering his body.


    More than ten minutes later, Di Chen finally reached the Martial King Realm. Although he was also at the first level of the Martial King realm, his strength was far stronger than a normal Martial King, and Di Chen could feel that even if he was at the second level of the Martial King realm, he was still far from being his match.

 C152

    Although Qin Er could not see through Di Chen''s current realm, she could still feel a powerful strength within Di Chen''s body. This kind of strength was way too strong compared to hers.


    "Di Chen, did you break through?" Qin Er asked anxiously.


    Di Chen laughed and said: "I have already broken through the Martial King Realm, with my current strength, I am at least at the third level of Demonic King, it should not be a problem for us two to kill that fourth level of Demonic King together."


    Previously, Di Chen and Qin Er had teamed up to kill a Level 4 Demonic King, but now that Di Chen''s cultivation had increased, killing a Level 4 Three Tailed Demon Fox was not difficult either. It was just that there were too many Demon Foxes there, killing them would be difficult.


    Qin Er was overjoyed: "Then what are we waiting for? Let''s go, let''s go kill that Level Four demon fox."


    A few hours later, they arrived not too far away from the demon fox. Di Chen realised that the corpses of the demon foxes were still there, and this was also because Luo Yumeng and the rest were in a rush to escape, and did not have the time to bring away the corpses of the demon foxes.


    Di Chen calculated: There are still two third stage Demonic King, and one fourth stage Demonic King, which are the most troublesome. As for those first and second stage Demonic King, we can ignore them completely, but with the strength of the two of us, killing them will be somewhat troublesome, and we will have to lure one after another over.


    Qin Er also did not have a plan. She looked at Di Chen and said, "I''ll do whatever you say."


    Di Chen thought for a while, then took out his Sky Finger, took out some paper and ink, and started writing. He wrote over a dozen times with the word "spear" with one word, "fix", and then scattered these papers all around.


    "These formula are different from the previous ones. They will consume a bit more power to become a scholar, but they will also consume a bit more power. They are powerful enough to kill a level three Demonic King.


    Di Chen thought for a while, then said: "Qin Er, I need you to lure those demon foxes here, are you confident?"


    Qin Er hesitated, "Those two Level 3 Spirit Fox can''t kill me right now, but that Level 4 Demonic King is too dangerous. I''m not sure if I can escape back in time, but I should be able to try."


    To kill these demon foxes, one had to be caught off guard. Not giving these demon foxes time to react, the best way was to lure them in.


    Di Chen said: "Then you better be careful, don''t fight with them head on."


    Qin Er nodded her head, and then carefully walked towards the Spirit Demon foxes, which saw Qin Er from afar, a few Level 1 and Level 2 Spirit Demon foxes rushed towards him, but the two Level 3 Spirit Demon foxes and the Level 4 Spirit Demon fox did not move. Di Chen had set up this formation to kill Level 3 Spirit Demon foxes, and these Level 2 Spirit Demon foxes did not pose much of a threat to Di Chen, so killing them would not be useless.


    "Not good," Di Chen thought that if this continued, he would not be able to lure the Spirit Demon foxes over. Instead, he would be killed by the low level Spirit Demon foxes.


    Puff!


    Di Chen could kill a demon fox with a single pike, but with Di Chen''s help, it would be much easier for him to kill those Level 1 and 2 demon foxes.


    The two Level 3 demon foxes and the Level 4 demon fox did not put Qin Er in their eyes at all. When they saw that the low levelled demon fox had been killed, they looked over at them, and immediately pounced at Qin Er.


    Qin Er did not dare to fight with the Level 3 Goblin Fox, so she immediately ran back, followed by the Goblin Fox.


    "Qin Er, hurry up," Seeing that the Spirit Demon Fox was about to reach Qin Er, and one of the Spirit Demon Fox was about to bite Qin Er, Di Chen looked anxious.


    Qin Er increased her speed and leaped forward. Di Chen''s hands were quick as he caught up with Qin Er, just as the Three Tailed Demon Fox also rushed over.


    Di Chen immediately grabbed onto Method of travelling and said the word "freeze" loudly. The two Three Tailed Demon Foxes were immediately frozen by Di Chen, he then used Spear Arts and shot a spear out of the papers on the ground. The two Spirit Demon Foxes were not able to move at all, so how could they defend against the pikes and be turned into a sieve? At this time, the Level 4 Spirit Demon fox in the distance rushed over, shocked at how strong Di Chen was, and was probably preparing to use its own hands.


    Just now, Di Chen had used up a lot of his energy to kill the two Three Tailed Demon Foxes. The remaining power he had was unable to kill the Four Tailed Demon Fox, so he immediately pulled Qin Er and ran.


    However, this time the demon fox seemed to be infuriated by two people, so she actually left her normal range of movement and chased closely behind. Furthermore, her speed was fast, and she could very quickly catch up to Qin Er and Di Chen.


    Qin Er said anxiously: "Di Chen, we can''t escape at all, what do we do?"


    Di Chen gritted his teeth: "Since we can''t run, then we won''t run. Qin Er, we will kill."


    With that, he wrote the word "steady" in his hands before spreading out. After that, the demon fox paused for a moment, and Di Chen immediately threw a punch at her.


    The Spirit Demon fox was not frozen for long, she quickly regained her ability to move, and spat out a gust of wind to welcome Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s fist landed on the wind, causing it to dissipate but Di Chen was flipped over by a strong force. In terms of strength, this level four demon fox was much stronger than Di Chen.


    Qin Er quickly pressed on her forehead and Sword Martial Spirit flew out, shooting towards the demon fox.


    The Spirit Demon fox raised her tail and lashed out at the Spirit Demon foxes, sending Sword Martial Spirit flying, but the Spirit Demon fox was not able to harm it at all, following that, the Spirit Demon fox released a gust of wind that swept Qin Er away, and similarly flipped it over, smashing it onto the ground heavily. This Level 4 Spirit Demon fox was much stronger than the Snake Tiger Beast before.


    Di Chen and Qin Er were obviously not its match, if this continued, the two of them would be killed.


    "Di Chen, quickly think of a way," this time, Qin Er was finally afraid.


    Di Chen didn''t have any other choice at the moment, he thought for a bit and then pressed on the center of his brows, following which a ray of light shot towards the Spirit Demon Fox like a golden needle.


    The whole world turned golden, and everything in front of him was penetrated by the light.


    "martial spirit of light?" Qin Er sucked in a cold breath. She had previously heard from Di Chen that he was not a practitioner, and without spirit energy, was unable to use his cultivation technique. But how could he have a martial soul, and even the most powerful martial spirit of light?


    There were not many martial spirit of light in the entire Martial Region Continent, but a Di Chen who was not a standard warrior actually had a martial spirit of light?


    The demon fox let out a blood-curdling screech, and her body was immediately riddled with holes. Blood gushed out from her body, but this demon fox was still powerful, and it would be difficult to kill her in a short period of time.


    When he used martial spirit of light just now, he was extremely weak. His body seemed to be incapable of moving, and the moment he moved, his entire body would feel excruciating pain, even his voice would become a little weak. At this time, the only thing he could do was for Qin Er to kill the Level 4 Demon Fox.


    She immediately chased after it. Sword Martial Spirit slashed towards the demon fox, but this time the demon fox was clearly not her match. Although Qin Er fought with some difficulty, in the end, she managed to kill it.


    "Di Chen, how are you?" Seeing Di Chen being so weak, Qin Er was a little anxious.


    Di Chen said weakly: "I''m fine, hurry up and put away the demon fox''s corpse and leave this place."


    The martial spirit of light was different from other people''s martial soul, it consumed too much of their body. Di Chen would not be able to endure it after using it once, so he would not use the martial spirit of light under normal circumstances.


    Qin Er kept the Spirit Demon fox''s body and carried Di Chen back to the cave. She gave a pill to Di Chen and after consuming the pill, Di Chen''s face quickly turned red, his body was not as weak as before, but this time, Di Chen slept for two whole days before waking up.


    "Di Chen," Qin Er saw that Di Chen had woken up and was overjoyed.


    Di Chen propped himself up from the ground, and the moment he moved, he felt excruciating pain in his body. Qin Er hurriedly helped Di Chen up, and said: "I''m fine now, just that my body''s energy consumption was a bit too much."


    Qin Er said in disbelief: "Di Chen, didn''t you say that you are not a martial artist?


    Di Chen shook his head: "I don''t understand either, this martial spirit of light is an accident after getting injured once, but my body isn''t as strong as a martial artist''s, so normally I won''t use it."


    Although Di Chen''s strength was very strong, he was too thin and weak. His body could not bear the pressure from the martial spirit of light and it was normal for him to be injured, but this Di Chen was also a little unexpected.


    "Oh right," Di Chen reminded her. "You must not tell anyone else that I have a martial spirit of light."


    Many people in Martial Region Continent liked to snatch other people''s martial soul, so Di Chen''s was very rare, if others were to know about this, they would probably come to snatch it, causing Di Chen to be in danger.


    Qin Er nodded her head, and laughed: "Don''t worry, I still know about this kind of thing."


    She thought that if this matter were to be spread out, it would only shock the entire Martial Region Continent.


    After that, Di Chen and Qin Er found a place to recover from their injuries, it had to be said that after using the martial spirit of light once, the burden on Di Chen was too much. He rested for five days, and during these five days, Di Chen could only barely move his body, although moving was inconvenient, but reading books was not a problem, he had already recovered the powers of a scholar, and at the same time, Qin Er''s injuries had also healed.


    "Di Chen," Qin Er was still a little unconvinced when she thought about how Kui Shan had taken advantage of him earlier.


    Di Chen shook his head: "Of course not, Kui Shan used us as bait, so that red fog fruit has a part of us. We will go and get it."


    Qin Er said worriedly: "With your strength, dealing with Kui Shan and Ji Yun shouldn''t be a problem, but what about Senior Sister An Yang?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Relax, she is not stupid, she will not make a move."


    Firstly, An Yang knew what Di Chen''s true strength was. Thirdly, Di Chen was, after all, a direct disciple and he would not casually make a move against his.


    Qin Er was relieved when she heard Di Chen''s words, and then the two went to find Kui Shan. Although Di Chen had no way of finding Kui Shan, the small fruit did.

 C153

    "I didn''t expect it to be so smooth this time. Not only did we pick all the red fog fruit, we even hunted so many. These things are enough to buy us quite a bit of money." Kui Shan previously used Di Chen and Qin Er as bait and picked the red fog fruit herself. This time, the operation was very smooth sailing, the three of them were not injured, and as for whether Di Chen would actually die, it was none of their business, the three of them did not have any thoughts of searching for him, and after acquiring the red fog fruit, they did not leave the mountain either, but continued to harvest Di Chen''s demonic beast. This time, they had a good harvest.


    Ji Yun suddenly thought of Di Chen and Qin Er, and laughed: "I wonder how those two are doing."


    Kui Shan laughed. "They only have the strength of Lifestealer Realm, and are only at the first level of the Martial King realm. Would they survive to be chased by a fourth level Demonic King? They have probably already been devoured by that Snake Tiger Beast."


    Ji Yun obviously did not care about their life and death, and laughed: "Speaking of which, if they did not become the inn, we would not have been able to obtain those red fog fruit s so easily, but they are also very stupid, their own strength is weak, so how could we take them along?


    In fact, Qin Er had some suspicions before, it was just that coming to mountain was a good opportunity to gain experience, she agreed without thinking, she did not expect the result to be used.


    Kui Shan said: "The dumbest one is that new student Di Chen, his strength is only equivalent to Lifestealer Realm, he actually dared to come with us to this mountain is really stupid."


    In fact, Kui Shan was just randomly looking for bait earlier on, if he were to invite those seniors, they would definitely be able to see through him. In his opinion, only the new students like Di Chen would be fooled so easily.


    An Yang had not spoken since the beginning, and Kui Shan and Ji Yun had only seen Di Chen''s strength on the surface. The two of them did not know that Di Chen had already broken through to King Wen, but his true strength was not inferior to Kui Shan''s.


    "Hmm?" Just then, a sound of movement came from in front of them, Kui Shan immediately looked forward warily, only to see Di Chen and Qin Er walking out. The two of them seemed unharmed, as if they were not injured at all.


    The three of them were stunned. These two fellows were actually still alive?


    "Senior Brother Kui Shan, Senior Brother Ji Yun, Senior Sister An Yang," Di Chen chuckled as she greeted them, "What a coincidence. I didn''t expect to meet you two on the way back."


    How was this a coincidence? It was clear that Di Chen and Qin Er were waiting here.


    Qin Er''s face did not change, instead she revealed a very fake smile, one look was enough to tell that she was still angry.


    Kui Shan laughed, and acted like the matter of him using Di Chen previously had not happened, and laughed: "Di Chen, Qin Er, you two are still alive, we went to look for you guys previously, but we did not find you guys. We thought that something had happened to you, as long as you guys are fine."


    Di Chen said: "We were lucky enough to escape. Right, Qin Er and I went back to take a look, those red fog fruit have all been harvested. Senior Brother Kui Shan, you''ve succeeded, right?"


    Hearing that, Ji Yun''s face immediately sank, this guy wanted to share, but to him, Di Chen and Qin Er were just bait, why did he want to split the red fog fruit with you?


    Kui Shan was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to answer that. She said after some thought: "The two of you don''t know, but there are more demonic beast than we thought. The three of us had to put our lives on the line to pick some red fog fruit, and a large portion of them are destroyed."


    Di Chen made an "oh" sound, and he naturally did not believe those words. He then said: "Then we''ve finally gotten a portion of it. Senior Brother Kui Shan, what about Qin Er and I?"


    "Di Chen..." Ji Yun''s expression immediately changed, and just as he was about to speak ¡­


    Kui Shan interrupted Ji Yun with a wave of his hand, then laughed: "If it wasn''t for you guys, it would have been difficult for us to obtain the red fog fruit as well.


    After saying that, he took out six red fog fruit s and handed them over to the two of them, and said: "Most of the red fog fruit have been destroyed, and we didn''t get much.


    Those red fog fruit can help five people reach the fourth level of the Martial King realm on average, but can you give us three of each?


    Di Chen did not accept it, and laughed: "Senior Brother Kui Shan, after all, Qin Er and I risked our lives, so you giving us three pellets each seemed to be too little, I don''t believe that you guys only got fifteen in total."


    It was just that Kui Shan was not willing to give it to him. In Ji Yun''s opinion, since Di Chen had obtained three pills, he should just take good care of it, but now, he still thought that it was not enough?


    Ji Yun said angrily on the spot: "Di Chen, we hunted these red fog fruit because we hunted those demonic beast. Although you all participated in it, you did not help out much, taking out three of each of them is already worth it, don''t be too greedy."


    Seeing Ji Yun''s shamelessness, Qin Er retorted: "If it wasn''t for us luring that Level 4 Demonic King away, would you have been able to obtain the red fog fruit?"


    Ji Yun disapproved: "Don''t forget that An Yang is here. It''s very easy to have her to kill those Demonic King s of the fourth level."


    Qin Er laughed coldly: "Then why is it that she doesn''t dare to come out? In the end, it was only Di Chen and I who managed to lure the Level 4 Demonic King away, do you really think we are stupid, and do you not know that you are deliberately using us as bait? "


    An Yang was at the level of taking his life from triple stage, so killing that Demonic King wasn''t difficult for her, but she was the most powerful out of the few, and if she got entangled by the people from the rank 4 Demonic King, it would be very dangerous. Letting Di Chen and Qin Er lead the people from the Demonic King was the best choice, as for whether the two of them would die or not, they didn''t care.


    Ji Yun said in a low voice: "Since you said it like that, then I will say it directly, you have strength equivalent to Lifestealer Realm, and one of you are at the first stage of the Martial King realm. Although you managed to attract those fourth stage Demonic King, do you not know how dangerous it would be for the demonic beast afterwards? Since you all are so greedy, then don''t blame us for being unreasonable. We have indeed picked up a lot of red fog fruit s, but we will not give you more, if you are not satisfied then you can just come and snatch them. Of course, if you dare to attack, then don''t blame me for being ruthless. "


    Ji Yun obtained a lot of red fog fruit from the start, but he gave a small amount to Di Chen and Qin Er.


    From Ji Yun''s perspective, Di Chen and Qin Er''s cultivation was too weak, and weren''t qualified to obtain the red fog fruit in the first place. Giving them three pellets was already charity, but looking at the two of them, it seemed that their gains were a little too great.


    "You all ¡­" Qin Er was so angry that she wanted to attack.


    Kui Shan released her spirit energy and coldly said: "Junior Sister Qin Er, do you really want to fight? You better think carefully."


    Qin Er could feel that Kui Shan''s spirit energy was about to move. If she dared to make a move, Kui Shan would probably kill him.


    Di Chen pulled Qin Er back, and laughed: "Senior Kui Shan, Senior Brother Ji Yun, actually, the request for me and Qin Er is very simple. We just want to take back the red fog fruit that belongs to us, we really don''t want to cause any trouble, I hope you don''t force us, what about it?"


    "You even dare to threaten us? You are simply courting death. I would quite like to see what strength you have to steal our things."


    Ji Yun was too lazy to continue talking with Di Chen, so he punched towards Di Chen, and a huge gust of wind blew over.


    Di Chen laughed, he did not dodge, and similarly struck out with his fist to meet Ji Yun''s attack. With two punches colliding, Ji Yun was directly flung out, the bones in his arm were completely shattered, as he screamed out in pain.


    "Impossible," Ji Yun said in disbelief, "How can your strength be so strong? Aren''t you the literati?"


    The bodies of the literati s were generally weaker, but Di Chen''s strength was even stronger than a Martial King. A while ago, he had fought with someone from the Clear Water Academy''s Lifestealer Realm, which meant that Di Chen''s Lifestealer Realm was at most comparable to theirs.


    Kui Shan also looked at Di Chen in disbelief, thinking to himself, could it be that his strength had made a breakthrough in this period of time?


    In fact, it was only because Di Chen had absorbed a rank 4 Demonic King that his power was so strong. Even though he looked like he was at the first level of the Martial King realm, he was actually much stronger than a normal Martial King''s double stage.


    Di Chen did not explain and laughed: "Senior Brother Kui Shan, Senior Brother Ji Yun, can you return our red fog fruit to us now?"


    "Don''t even think about it," Ji Yun was even more unconvinced after being defeated by Di Chen, he took out a Spirit Sword and rushed forward like an arrow, raised his sword and sliced down, it seemed that he had the intention to kill.


    "Stop," Di Chen shouted out one word, Ji Yun''s body froze. He had seen Di Chen execute this technique before, but he did not believe that Di Chen could actually stop him, as this was not something an ordinary scholar could do.


    Following that, Di Chen took another step towards Ji Yun, his fist smashing into Ji Yun''s chest, sending him flying once again. His body felt like it had flipped over, as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Ji Yun seemed to still be unconvinced, he tapped his forehead and a Spirit Sword suddenly flew out from between his eyebrows. This Spirit Sword was black in color, it looked extremely aggressive.


    Using martial soul meant killing the other party.


    Di Chen''s eyes turned cold, he immediately wrote the word "spear" to welcome the Sword Martial Spirit, the long spear clashed with the Sword Martial Spirit, causing ripples to spread out between the two of them, both of them collapsing at the same time, Ji Yun''s martial soul were destroyed, but looking at how Di Chen looked, he seemed to be relaxed, he did not consume much energy.


    "My martial soul," Ji Hun''s face was filled with shock. He thought that he was stronger than his opponent, but his opponent was actually able to easily destroy his own martial soul?


    "Why is he so powerful?" Even Kui Shan didn''t dare to believe this.


    An Yang had long known about Di Chen''s realm, which was within her expectations. However, he could tell that Di Chen''s cultivation seemed to have advanced even more than before.


    Di Chen laughed, then looked at the surprised Kui Shan and said: "Senior Brother Kui Shan, can you give me my red fog fruit now?"


    Kui Shan knew that she was not a match for Di Chen at all, but he did not want to give his any help. An Yang did not say a word, and Kui Shan was secretly surprised, but she could not understand why An Yang did not seem to have any intentions of fighting. An Yang was the strongest here, if she did not help Kui Shan, there was nothing he could do.

 C154

    "Di Chen, do you really want to snatch our red fog fruit?" Kui Shan still did not want to give it to him, and said with a threatening tone.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "I am only taking back what belongs to me, how can Senior Brother Kui Shan threaten me? If Senior Brother Kui Shan is not willing to give it to me, I will take it myself."


    Kui Shan did not expect Di Chen to not be threatened at all, and clenched his teeth, finally taking out a portion of the red fog fruit and throwing it at Di Chen.


    Di Chen looked at the red fog fruit, Kui Shan had probably given Di Chen a fifth of the total amount. He shook her head and said, "No, this is just my portion, what about Qin Er''s?"


    Kui Shan said angrily: "Di Chen, don''t be too greedy. Giving you so much is already our limit."


    At this time, Qin Er said: "Senior Brother Kui Shan, it''s you guys who have gone too far so don''t blame us for being impolite. We don''t only want to return the portion that belongs to us, if you still want to force us red fog fruit s to stay, then there''s really no room for discussion?"


    Kui Shan looked at Qin Er angrily. Forget about Di Chen threatening him, since she is stronger than me, what right do you have to threaten me?


    It was just that now that Qin Er and Di Chen were in the same boat, Kui Shan could only obey. In the end, she took out a few red fog fruit and gave it to Di Chen.


    Di Chen counted down, and after adding another fifth, he laughed: "Senior brother Kui Shan, if you have such good fortune in the future, you can come and find me. It''s just that if you want me to be your bait, you can''t use me."


    Then, he looked at Qin Er. "Let''s go."


    Qin Er smiled and nodded, then left with Di Chen.


    "Dammit," Kui Shan smashed his fist against a tree and directly broke it, then said angrily: "This Di Chen is too much, he actually dares to steal our things. Wait for a chance, I will definitely kill him."


    Ji Yun bellowed: "He even destroyed my martial soul, causing my cultivation to drop by a few realms, I will not let him go."


    This time, the three of them did not intend to invite the others to travel together, but in consideration of the danger, they were prepared to find a few more helpers. However, finding more people meant that more people would come and divide up the red fog fruit, so Kui Shan decided to find two bait, the plan was just as he had thought, it was indeed very smooth in the beginning, but he really did not expect Di Chen to be so strong, not only did he not die, he even received a portion of the red fog fruit, which would be a huge loss to them this time.


    "I advise you all to forget about it," An Yang suddenly said. "This Di Chen has already broken through the King Wen, his realm should be the same as yours, but his strength is not something you can compare to."


    "King Wen?" Kui Shan also knew the realm of scholars, and said incredulously: "A few days ago he was still at the level of Lifestealer Realm, how did he suddenly break through to King Wen?"


    An Yang said seriously: "It might be because of my breakthrough after fighting with the Clear Water Academy, let me advise you two again, don''t think about revenge, otherwise, you all will end up in a miserable state."


    Kui Shan saw that An Yang actually had no intention to take revenge, and said in an unexpected manner: "We could have gotten even more red fog fruit, An Yang, are you just going to let this go?"


    This made him a little surprised. Only now did he know that An Yang had no intentions of fighting with Di Chen at all, probably because she had long seen through his strength, and Kui Shan had even wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge, but hearing An Yang''s warning, he hesitated again. did not have the ability to do so.


    An Yang did not explain either. She recalled the scene of Di Chen easily defeating Xiang Zuo and thought to himself that this Di Chen was even stronger than he was then.


    At the foot of the mountain, Di Chen took out a red fog fruit and gave half to Qin Er.


    Qin Er received the red fog fruit and said with an excited expression: "Give these red fog fruit to me, and it can at least help me break through to the fourth level of the Martial King realm, increasing my cultivation by three small realms in an instant."


    Di Chen looked at the red fog fruit, and shook his head: "Seems like this red fog fruit is more like someone trying to forcefully increase a small realm. Although realm will increase, strength and speed will also increase along with realm, but the power of the technique will not increase by much, so cultivation needs to be done step by step. Qin Er, actually, your talent is average, but your realm will not increase too much. I think you should sell these red fog fruit since you young, so your realm will increase your current strength. "


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, Qin Er immediately became dejected, and said: "I knew you would say that, my strength is indeed average, but other than red fog fruit s, I have no way of increasing my realm either."


    Di Chen advised: Even if you had broken through to the fourth stage of Life Seizing Realm, I''m afraid I can handle you with my current cultivation, but in truth it doesn''t matter how fast or slow my cultivation, the most important thing is my strength. I will accompany you to buy some pills later, and it would be best to buy some powerful techniques.


    Qin Er had always placed emphasis on levelling up in the past, and had never cared about strength. Although she had now broken through to the Martial King realm, she was the weakest type of Martial King, so she nodded after thinking for a bit. After this trip to mountain, she followed Di Chen''s lead.


    After walking for an entire day, Di Chen and Qin Er finally returned to Youzhou City. This place was still rather far from Famous Sword Academy, so Di Chen was not in a rush to return there. They found an inn to rest for a while, and on the second day, they went to Shuiyue Workshop to buy medicinal pellets.


    Di Chen said: "Let''s find a place to sell those red fog fruit. This kind of thing is very popular."


    At this time, the only way to increase one''s strength was to consume a few more pellets that could forcefully raise one''s realm more often. Amongst these, red fog fruit had the best effect, and they would definitely not have any side effects on the body.


    Di Chen came to a counter, looked at a middle-aged man and asked: "Are you collecting anything here?"


    The middle-aged man looked up and down at Di Chen, he did not feel that Di Chen was special, so he did not mind at all, and casually asked: "Take it, what do you want to sell?"


    Di Chen took out a red fog fruit and said: "This."


    The middle-aged man received the red fog fruit but didn''t recognize it at first. After he saw it clearly, he said with a face of surprise: "It''s actually a red fog fruit. Where did you pick it?"


    Di Chen casually explained: "I picked up some from my cultivation trip to the mountain."


    The middle-aged man anxiously asked, "How many are there?"


    Di Chen said: "I can at least guarantee a person''s cultivation from the first level of the Martial King realm to the fourth level of the Martial King realm."


    "So many?" Cultivating from the first level of the Martial King realm to the fourth level was not easy, so the amount of red fog fruit needed was not small.


    The middle-aged man could tell that Di Chen had not bothered him with anything, and said: "There are so many red fog fruit that I cannot make the decision on, follow me, I will bring you to see the pavilion master of the Shuiyue Workshop."


    The middle aged man brought Di Chen and Qin Er in. In the middle of the room, there sat a thirty year old or so woman, who wore green silk, had tied up her hair, and looked dignified and virtuous. The middle-aged man explained the situation, and after the woman heard the middle-aged man''s introduction, she seemed to be somewhat surprised, and then, invited the middle aged man to go out and chat with Di Chen.


    "My name is Xi Hongshui," The woman smiled and introduced herself, "I am the pavilion master of this Shuiyue Workshop, what are your names?"


    Di Chen introduced: "I am Di Chen, and this is Qin Er."


    Xi Hongshui asked curiously: "From the looks of it, you guys aren''t very old, you should be from Famous Sword Academy."


    In reality, she could tell that Qin Er''s cultivation was ordinary, his talent was also normal, and Di Chen didn''t have any elemental energy in his body, so the two of them didn''t look like strong warriors. However, since the two of them could bring back so many red fog fruit, there would definitely be something special about them.


    Qin Er nodded: "We are from the Famous Sword Academy, but we are only ordinary disciples."


    She smiled and said: "Every year, there will be many people who go to mountain to look for red fog fruit s, but they will all return with no results. I never expected you to be so lucky, to actually be able to find them, I want to see exactly how many you two have."


    Di Chen took out the red fog fruit. Qin Er seemed to still be hesitating, but after thinking for a bit, she also took it out.


    "So many," Earlier, the middle-aged man said that two red fog fruit could let a first level Martial King cultivator reach the fourth level. She did not think that everyone would have such a quantity of red fog fruit.


    Qin Er laughed bitterly: "I wanted to consume it myself, but Di Chen said that forcefully raising my cultivation level this way isn''t good, so he told me to exchange these red fog fruit for medicinal pellets and cultivation techniques."


    However, she knew that Di Chen would not harm her, so she decided to listen to Di Chen''s advice in terms of cultivation.


    The blind pursuit of a realm is not a good thing, but to increase the strength of each realm as much as possible is the most important. How about this, our Shuiyue Workshop has all kinds of pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, if you have anything you want, you can exchange it. "


    Di Chen chuckled: "Resting Pavilion Master really knows how to do business, her red fog fruit was exchanged for pills and cultivation techniques, I will directly exchange for silver."


    "You two aren''t from the same group?"


    Di Chen knew that she had misunderstood, and laughed while shaking his head, he did not need any pills right now, he needed silver taels. After all, Di Chen''s silver taels were not only meant to be used to buy medicine for him, he also needed to consider Lin Tao and Liu Jingjing, so leaving more silver taels was more important. Furthermore, Di Chen was a direct disciple, so any pills he required could be directly brought to the Famous Sword Academy, and the pills the Famous Sword Academy provided for his direct disciples would barely be enough for Di Chen to cultivate.


    Qin Er looked at Di Chen with a grumbling look, thinking to herself that there was no need to explain things this clearly.

 C155

    Xi Hongshui took out a small cut. He gave Di Chen a choice between all kinds of cultivation techniques, weapons, medicinal pellets, and explained everything in detail. She threw a small cut to Di Chen and told him to choose one of each kind.


    Di Chen carefully looked at the introduction of each type of pill, and then his eyes landed on the Heavenly Spirit Pill. This kind of pill was extremely rare, it could be considered a type of magic pill made from human blood, it could strengthen a person''s spirit energy, and the price for one pill was around one hundred million silver. In the entire Shuiyue Workshop, there was only one pill.


    "That''s it," Di Chen said as he pointed to the Heavenly Spirit Pill. This pill could not help Qin Er increase her cultivation, but it could at least increase her spirit energy.


    Qin Er also did not have a mind of her own, so this matter would naturally be left to Di Chen.


    She smiled and said, "You have good eyes. Heaven''s Spirit Pill is indeed a rare pill. You can exchange it for a cultivation technique or a weapon."


    Di Chen flipped to the cultivation technique page. After consuming the Heaven''s Spirit Pill, Qin Er''s spirit energy became rich enough to display a few powerful cultivation techniques.


    suddenly saw a strange sword technique. This sword technique was only suitable for females to train in, there was a total of nine levels, the power of each level would increase by more than ten times, but cultivating it was extremely difficult, ordinary warriors who had not reached the fifth level of the Martial King Realm would not be able to cultivate it. If Qin Er swallowed the Heaven Spirit Pill, she would barely be able to cultivate at the first level of the Martial King Realm.


    She said with tears in her eyes, "You don''t have any elemental energy in your body. I didn''t think that you would be so good at cultivation. Most people wouldn''t buy nine swords from Yue Nu."


    This was also normal. This sword art was originally very difficult to learn, but if he didn''t learn it after buying it, then he would have wasted his money.


    Qin Er sighed, "My innate talent is very average, what if I can''t learn it?"


    Di Chen laughed: "There are so many teachers in the Academy, you can ask around."


    Although it was difficult, but if one could learn Qin Er''s power, then it would increase by ten times, and even if it was a lot of direct disciples in the academy, they would be inferior to Qin Er.


    When Qin Er thought about this, she laughed. In the past, she was only a very ordinary disciple in the Famous Sword Academy, but now it was really rare for her to have a chance to compete with a direct disciple.


    "That''s right," Hongshui said as he looked at Di Chen again. "These red fog fruit could probably be exchanged for two hundred million silver taels, do you not have any need for them?"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "I actually want to buy an inkstone and an inkstone."


    The Shuiyue Workshop only bought things that warriors would use. He did not have this kind of paper, just why would this fellow buy these things?


    She did not ask any further, and then Di Chen sold the red fog fruit for a total of 200 million silver, which was more than enough for Di Chen to use in the future. After that, Di Chen and Qin Er returned back to the tavern.


    In the room.


    The spirit energy seemed to be able to see it with the naked eye as it enveloped her body. Di Chen, who was at the side, was amazed, thinking that it was worthy of being a one hundred million silver pill, her spirit energy was incomparably majestic, and after she refined it, his strength would definitely increase by a level, which meant that even the current Kui Shan might not be his opponent. Of course, if Kui Shan refined the Red Mist Pill and reached the fourth stage of the Martial King Realm, it would be a completely different story.


    The medicinal power of the Heavenly Spirit Pill was too great, Qin Er was unable to finish refining it, she sat for six hours straight before finishing her cultivation.


    "My strength seems to be a lot stronger than before," Qin Er said excitedly as she could clearly feel the elemental energy overflowing from her body.


    Di Chen said: "Heavenly Spirit Pills are very rare, we are just lucky, coincidentally Shuiyue Workshop has one."


    Cultivating also depended on luck, the two came at a coincidental time, just as Shuiyue Workshop was about to receive a Heavenly Spirit Pill.


    That''s right, "Di Chen couldn''t help but be curious about Qin Er''s current strength, and said:" Use all of your strength to hit me one more time, I want to see how much your strength will increase by.


    Qin Er nodded, her spirit energy gushing out, she punched Di Chen.


    Di Chen only felt as if he was smashed by a small mountain. His body arched like a shrimp, and directly smashed through the wall before falling down from the second floor.


    She hurried downstairs. When she saw Di Chen sitting on the ground, he had a pained expression on his face, but he was fine. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief and ran over to ask: "Are you alright?"


    Di Chen helped Qin Er up, and said with a wry smile: "I was almost beaten to death by you, luckily you didn''t use your cultivation technique."


    Qin Er stuck out her tongue and laughed: "I intentionally held back just now, who would have thought that my strength learning would be this strong, the Heavenly Spirit Pill is indeed a good thing, not only did it increase my spirit energy, it also seems to increase my strength by a lot."


    In fact, this was also because Di Chen''s body was weaker, so he could not take Qin Er''s punch directly. Other warriors would not receive such heavy injuries, but this made Di Chen feel that his own body was extremely weak.


    However, Di Chen was unable to cultivate either. He wondered if there were any defensive formula s in the Heaven Text Sutra, if there was one that could evolve and cultivate.


    "Let''s go back to the Academy," Di Chen and Qin Er did not stay for long, they packed up their things and returned to the Famous Sword Academy.


    Qin Er returned to her own residence, while Di Chen also returned to his own room.


    After going back, Di Chen took out the Sky Text Scripture, and finally saw that there was a formula protecting the astral formula, and this formula was a type of defensive formula, only that it was like the other formula, and it was more difficult to cultivate in it.


    took out a pen and paper and started writing the words'' Protect ''. Cultivating a formula meant injecting the power of a scholar into the words. Whether or not one could succeed in cultivating it would depend on whether or not Di Chen''s power of a scholar could support the consumption of a formula.


    Writing a letter not only increased the power of the scholar, but also increased Di Chen''s understanding of the formula. After that, Di Chen immersed himself in writing the entire time, he did not know how long he had been writing, the room was already filled with protective slips of paper, and two days later, Di Chen finally woke up from his cultivation.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen could clearly feel an enormous amount of elemental energy in his body, which powerlessly formed a word of protection in his mind. To be able to engrave the word in his mind meant that Di Chen had already learned this formula.


    Di Chen picked up a piece of paper with the word "Protector" written on it, channeling his power into it. The word "Protector" flashed, and then Di Chen''s body was enveloped in a layer of light, on the surface of the light, there was a faint word "Protector".


    "You need so much power from the scholars?" Di Chen realized that only half of the power of the scholar was needed to cast a protective formula. The strength of the scholar needed to cast such a protective formula was unknown, but Di Chen could faintly feel that the formula could block a strike from a stage 4 Martial King.


    "Di Chen," At this moment, Bai Qian''s voice came from outside.


    Di Chen opened the door and saw Bai Qian standing outside, smiling: "Is anything the matter?"


    Bai Qian shook his head: "It''s nothing, I just heard that you had returned, so I came to take a look, but you have been cultivating during this time, so it''s not good for me to disturb you. Oh right, did you have any conflicts with Senior Brother Kui Shan?"


    Di Chen asked doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"


    Bai Qian said with a grave expression on his face, "When Senior Brother Kui Shan came back earlier, I asked you about your situation. He was very angry the moment your name was mentioned, and I even faintly felt a trace of killing intent.


    Di Chen did not hide anything and told them everything that had happened in the mountain, including how he had used himself to attract those demonic beast.


    Bai Qian was surprised when he heard it, and said: "Senior brother Kui Shan is a good person, she had even saved me before. I never thought that he was also a person like that, but Senior brother Kui Shan might very well not let you go."


    Those red fog fruit were more than enough for Kui Shan to break through to the fourth level of the Martial King realm. On the other hand, Di Chen did not use the red fog fruit to cultivate, as his realm was much weaker than Kui Shan''s.


    Di Chen did not mind, he just shrugged and said: "If he wants to come, just come. Oh right, has Zi Yan''s martial soul recovered yet?"


    Bai Qian laughed bitterly: "How can it be that easy, if she wants to recover his Sword Martial Spirit, she must cultivate anew, she can''t just casually take out a sword and become my Sword Martial Spirit right?"


    Cultivating a martial soul meant that the person had to assimilate the cultivation they had cultivated into their own body, just like how Di Chen previously fused the martial arts into his own body when he was cultivating his martial spirit of light. It was the same for cultivating his own Sword Martial Spirit, but purple type beasts couldn''t casually take out a broken sword and start cultivating, it wasn''t beneficial for cultivation either.


    "How about this," Di Chen said after thinking for a while, "I heard that twenty kilometers away from the Famous Sword Academy is the old location of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate.


    A hundred years ago, there was a door in the Spirit Continent called Ten Thousand Swords Gate. This sect focused on sword refinement, and most of the s came from Ten Thousand Swords Gate, but ten years ago, Ten Thousand Swords Gate s were suddenly killed, and all the disciples in the sect were killed. No one knew who did it, but the Ten Thousand Swords Gate became an abandoned sect.


    But the Spirit Sword of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate stayed behind, but those better Spirit Sword had long been taken away by others, and only some abandoned swords remained, of course, there would be some that revealed themselves, so all these years, many people of the Famous Sword Academy would try their luck, there was really someone who obtained an extraordinary Spirit Sword.


    Bai Qian thought for a while, then said: "But that place seems to be very dangerous, moreover, I went there with Zi Yan previously, and did not discover it."


    Di Chen laughed: "My luck is pretty good, maybe I can meet him."


    Bai Qian thought that Di Chen''s cultivation was stronger than his, and he had more experience than him, so maybe the result would really be different with him. Bai Qian nodded and said, "Then I will talk to Zi Yan, ever since her martial soul was destroyed, she has been depressed, and I hope that we can find a suitable Sword Martial Spirit."


    After saying that, he turned and left. Di Chen did not plan to immediately leave, he first recovered his spirit energy, and then went to buy some pills.

 C156

    The Ten Thousand Swords Gate was a large sect in the Spirit Continent, they were on good terms with the Famous Sword Academy, but a hundred years ago, the Ten Thousand Swords Gate was suddenly exterminated, and no one knew who did it, but after the Ten Thousand Swords Gate was exterminated, the Spirit Sword s refined by the disciples and elders stayed behind, but over the years, many would go to the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s old location to search for these Spirit Sword. Currently, those Spirit Sword had long been lost, and only a few were broken down, but there were still many people who went there to try their luck, because a few years ago, the Famous Sword Academy found a peerless Spirit Sword.


    "Is this the location of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate?" Di Chen stood outside of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, it was a very wide area, it was not much worse than the Famous Sword Academy, it was just that inside was already in ruins, it was desolate and the abandoned swords were scattered all over the place, it was just like a Sword Tomb.


    Bai Qian casually picked up a sword and threw it on the ground, then sighed: "Those Spirit Sword have long been taken away by others, the rest are just trash swords that have not been completed condensed yet, it is not suitable to cultivate to become a martial soul."


    It was said that all of the previous principals of the Famous Sword Academy s were refined personally by the Ten Thousand Swords Gate s themselves. Thus, every day, there would be people from the Famous Sword Academy coming to try their luck, but to no avail.


    Di Chen laughed, "Since you''re here, let''s have a good look. Maybe you''ll get a surprise."


    In fact, if Zi Yan wanted to cultivate anew, he had better go to the shop and buy some Spirit Sword s, but those Spirit Sword s were too expensive. Zi Yan couldn''t afford them either.


    Zi Yan smiled indifferently: "I''ve come here before, and I don''t have any hopes of finding any Spirit Sword, just randomly look around."


    The three of them entered the old location of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, and after entering, they saw that there were abandoned buildings all around them, and on the ground, there were broken Spirit Sword s, the air was gray and the surroundings were very quiet. Di Chen frowned, although he did not feel any form of danger, but this place gave him an uncomfortable feeling, and he felt that this place was dangerous.


    "Whiz!"


    They were two men and two women, and one of them was a man and a woman that Di Chen recognized. They were direct disciples, while the one on the left was Xiang Zuo, who was already defeated miserably by Di Chen, and he had even came forward to save his life. Seeing that not only did his injuries recover, but his cultivation seemed to have improved, and now he had already broken through the Martial King double stage, on Xiang Zuo''s left was a long haired woman holding a white jade Spirit Sword.


    On Li You''s left was a young man who appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but was acting arrogant. His cultivation was at the ninth stage of Life Seizing, and his name was Xiang Xuan.


    "Di Chen?" A while ago, he had lost an arm to Di Chen, but now that his injuries had recovered and his cultivation had risen by another level, he had always wanted to take revenge on Di Chen. However, Di Chen did not appear often, and he had not seen Di Chen until today.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan could both see Xiang Zuo''s killing intent and were slightly stunned. They had never seen Xiang Zuo before, so they looked at him with suspicion, "Who is he?


    Di Chen smiled as he explained, "This is Senior Brother Xiang Zuo, he is also a member of the Famous Sword Academy. I had some misunderstandings with Senior Brother Xiang Zuo."


    Bai Qian thought that he wanted to kill you. Seems like this "misunderstanding" was not small, but seeing how Di Chen thought so easily that this person was not a match for Di Chen, he did not mind.


    I remember you. "He pointed at the three of them and said," You two were previously injured by that Zuo Qing from the Clear Water Academy.


    He then looked at Di Chen, and did not ridicule him in such a way, and said: "Your strength is quite impressive, to actually be able to defeat that person, but in my opinion, it''s only so-so, you''re far inferior to my big brother."


    Hearing this, Xiang Zuo could not say that he was defeated by Di Chen a while ago, so he could only remain silent.


    Bai Qian and Zi Yan almost wanted to attack him after hearing his words, but they endured their anger.


    Di Chen glanced at Xiang Zuo playfully, then looked at Xuan and mocked: "At least they are stronger than you, who don''t even dare to go up on stage."


    It''s not that I don''t dare to go up on stage, it''s just that I don''t want to waste my time in this kind of pointless battle. Unlike these two, I''m not strong enough to go up on stage and lose face.


    Zi Yan was not like Bai Qian who knew how to endure. She was also furious, and choked: "He is not here now, of course you would dare to say that. Why didn''t I see you go up on stage at that time?"


    "Are you still not convinced? If not, we can compete."


    "Let''s compete then," Zi Yan refused to accept it, and wanted to pull out his sword to attack.


    Bai Qian pulled Zi Yan back, and said: "Zi Yan, don''t act recklessly, finding Spirit Sword is more important, let''s go."


    Although Zi Yan''s temper was not good, he still listened to Bai Qian''s words and kept the Spirit Sword, following Bai Qian out. Di Chen looked at Xiang Zuo and laughed, then turned, with a cold expression on his face, he knew that Xiang Zuo would not let him go.


    He mockingly looked at the three''s backs and said: "Earlier, that Zi Yan had her martial soul destroyed by someone. I think she most likely came here to find it, so how could trash like her have access to that Spirit Sword?"


    At this point, he revealed a playful smile. It seemed that he didn''t want them to succeed so easily.


    Ying Zhi understood Xuan the best. He said in a speechless manner, "Why do you want to make things difficult for the three of them? We have no enmity with them. Please don''t give us any trouble."


    He chuckled towards Xuan: "It''s just for fun, that Di Chen is a literati, this is the first time I''ve seen him, he seems to be very powerful, I really want to challenge him to see how powerful he is."


    Obviously, he did not know that Di Chen had already broken through the King Wen.


    Xiang Zuo seriously reminded: "Don''t provoke that Di Chen, he has already broken through to King Wen, and is comparable to the strength of a Martial King, you are not his match."


    He could tell that even his elder brother was a little afraid of him. He thought for a moment and said, "Then we''ll talk about it after we break through to the Martial King realm."


    He still had not realized the terrifying nature of Di Chen, and it was not good for Xiang Zuo to advise him otherwise either. He did not want others to know that he had been defeated by Di Chen.


    "Let''s go," said Li You who had not spoken since the beginning, "The search for the sword is more important, don''t let anyone else snatch it first."


    Thinking about this, their eyes became serious, and immediately headed towards the depths of Ten Thousand Swords Gate.


    "Bai Qian, why are you trying to stop me? That Xiang Xuan was too much.


    Zi Yan became angry at the thought of Xiang Xuan''s overbearing attitude and could not help but want to attack.


    Bai Qian reminded him: "Even though this Xiang Xuan had just broken through the ninth stage of Life Seizing Realm, his strength is not ordinary. Moreover, he really likes to provoke people to fight with him, and every time he attacks someone, they would be half-dead. Some of your martial soul were even destroyed by him, and your martial soul have already been destroyed.


    Zi Yan curled his lips. She was also a competitive type of person. Even though he was a bit unconvinced, she knew that he was indeed not a match for Xiang Xuan.


    Di Chen reminded them, "Those two Martial King Realm people are even more dangerous, you two must also be careful."


    Seeing Di Chen''s serious face, Bai Qian knew that Di Chen had a grudge with them, and nodded his head seriously.


    The three of them spent the next few hours searching for a sword in the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, but none of them were able to find a sword.


    Zi Yan stopped and looked around: "This Ten Thousand Swords Gate is really too big, I think we should split up and search, after we have the Spirit Sword, we can contact them."


    Di Chen thought that the old location of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate should not be in danger anyway, so he split up to search faster. He nodded and said: "Alright, I''ll go to the left and you guys go to the right, but this Ten Thousand Swords Gate was still a big sect before all.


    "Alright," Bai Qian said as he left with Zi Yan.


    Previously, the few of them were searching outside of Ten Thousand Swords Gate, but they did not go to the inner layer of Ten Thousand Swords Gate. In fact, there were still many powerful formations left on the inner layer, so no one dared to go in casually.


    After separating, Di Chen headed towards the left side of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, and one could tell that the left side was previously where the disciples cultivated. The Spirit Sword that were stuck on the ground were all relatively normal, and the chances of finding them were very small.


    "Hmm?" There was no sign of humans in this place, the air was filled with thick mist, but Di Chen felt a sense of danger, as if a pair of eyes was staring at him.


    Di Chen stopped, and looked around cautiously. It was then that he suddenly saw a figure floating towards him from the big fog.


    "Someone is here." Di Chen looked at the figure vigilantly. The figure grew closer and closer, and quickly appeared in front of Di Chen. Di Chen finally saw the person approaching, he was like a soul, and was indeed just an afterimage.


    "What is this?" Di Chen frowned, thinking that this could not be a real soul, and a soul could not be this kind of unconscious soul.


    Suddenly!


    The figure tapped one of his hands, and a Spirit Sword flew up from the ground, with the force of a thunderbolt shooting towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen''s face changed, he did not think that he would suddenly wield a halberd, and immediately used a character to intercept the broken sword.


    Clang!


    The word "cut" was like a large sword clashing with the Spirit Sword. The sword was shattered into pieces of metal and fell to the ground. At the same time, the word fell apart and turned into a ripple.


    "So strong?" Di Chen was surprised, he recognized that his Method of travelling was not weak, but he did not expect this figure to be so strong in one move, but Di Chen was unable to feel a hint of his Qi.

 C157

    The figure tapped on the ground again, and two more Spirit Sword soared into the sky, flying towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen quickly wrote the word "cut" in succession, and these three words transformed into three large blades that shot towards the black shadow. The two words clashed with the Spirit Sword, and the power of the attack was almost the same.


    "Useless?" Di Chen was stunned again. Although the formula was Di Chen''s weakest clan, a normal person at the first stage of the Martial King realm would not be able to block it.


    Di Chen immediately wrote the word spear and shot towards the black shadow. The word spear turned into a spear that similarly passed through the figure but still did not cause any damage.


    "What''s going on?" Di Chen did not understand why his formula was useless at all. One must know that the Spear Arts was a person that could kill a Martial King.


    Just at this time, the figure controlled a handful of Spirit Sword s to attack Di Chen, but this time, it was too sudden, and Di Chen had no time to block them.


    "Not good," Di Chen cursed, and immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "Protector" written on it. At the same time, a wave of scholar power seeped into the paper, and the word "Protector" transformed into a halo of light that enveloped Di Chen''s body.


    Bang!


    When the Spirit Sword shot onto the halo, it directly pushed Di Chen a few steps back, but did not cause the slightest bit of damage.


    "Eh? Although this human figure cannot be killed, its power seems to be limited and is unable to break through my protective formula. "


    Di Chen was astonished. Actually, it was not only because the figure was weak, but also because Di Chen''s formula s were extremely strong, which was just that it took a lot of energy for the scholars to use up. The following figure controlled a few more Spirit Sword s to shoot at Di Chen.


    The figure did not have any thoughts, and only knew how to use mechanical attacks. This kind of attack was completely useless against Di Chen, who stood calmly on the spot, thinking that even the formula s and Spear Arts would not be able to harm the figure, and breaking the formula s would also be no good. The figure did not have any life force, so his own life-stealing technique was also useless.


    BOOM!


    The word "Broken" exploded, but what Di Chen did not expect was that the figure in front of him immediately dissipated in the explosion, not leaving a single trace.


    "Killed him?" Di Chen was shocked, the power of his own Spear Arts was much stronger than the Broken formula s, but how could a human figure that the Spear Arts could not kill be killed by the Broken formula?


    Di Chen did not understand, nor did he think much into it. He curiously looked at his surroundings, and thought to himself that there was more than one person here, but what were those people supposed to be?


    From the way the figure was dressed, it should be a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate. If it wasn''t a soul, then it was an image, but why did this image attack him?


    "I wonder if Zi Yan and the rest are in danger," this time, Di Chen was a little worried, but he did not look for them, instead he continued to walk forward, and the more he saw, the more broken swords he saw, in fact, many of them were originally intelligent, but after a long time, the spirits of the broken swords had disappeared, and today, it was just a pile of scrap metal, so when he reached there, he saw more and more figures, all of them floating like corpses, and when he saw Di Chen, he immediately flew over.


    Di Chen cursed in his heart, and quickly wrote a few words to welcome the figures. Every single word exploded in front of the figures before they could even control their swords, blasting them into smithereens.


    "These people who only know how to attack mechanically are not strong."


    He immediately increased his speed and went over to see a woman fighting against a group of figures. This woman was actually Li You, and it seemed like they were moving separately, that Di Chen did not have much of an impression of her, and only knew her name, but Di Chen did not like her, and she gave off a feeling of danger, which was normal though, and which of the direct disciples was not dangerous.


    Although Li You''s cultivation was stronger than Di Chen''s, he was still unable to kill the human figures, and could only retreat in defense.


    Master Chen thought that she did not have any techniques for those figures, and Di Chen did not want to help her, so he went around her and prepared to leave.


    "Di Chen?" Li You saw Di Chen from afar and was slightly startled, thinking that since Di Chen could come to this place, it meant that he had a way to kill those figures. He did not know how Di Chen managed to do it, so he hurriedly shouted, "Di Chen, help me!"


    Di Chen''s footsteps stalled, as if she was hesitating. After thinking for a moment, she charged towards Li You, wrote a few crappy words with one hand, and blew those human figures into pieces.


    "It''s that easy?" Even if Li You guessed that Di Chen could kill these human figures, she could not think of this much.


    Li You heaved a sigh of relief, "Many thanks. If not for you, I''m afraid the consequences would have been disastrous."


    Di Chen laughed and said: "We are all students of Famous Sword Academy and you are my senior, it is only right for me to help you."


    Li You laughed, but was a little unhappy in her heart. She clearly saw Di Chen turn around and leave, how could she have any intentions of helping him.


    "Oh right," Li You asked curiously: "The cultivation technique you used just now was a cultivation technique to defeat Xiang Zuo right? But this technique seems to be weaker than the one you used to defeat Xiang Zuo."


    Di Chen nodded his head: "This is my formula. Although this move is relatively weak, it can still kill those figures, and that door won''t work. I don''t know the reason either."


    Li You frowned as she pondered: "Your cultivation technique might be weak, but it can faintly shatter and weaken. I suspect that the reason you were able to kill those figures was because of this."


    Di Chen was startled, he did not think about this just now, but after hearing Li You''s explanation, he understood the reason.


    "Senior Sister," Di Chen said in a doubtful tone, "Do you know what these figures are? "How come it seems like he can''t kill it with normal cultivation techniques?"


    Li You explained: These are the afterimages of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s disciples, they were left behind when the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s disciples were about to die, I do not know the reason why, but the afterimages were strong and weak, the afterimages you saw earlier were only the afterimages of normal disciples. I think that if we go deeper, there will still be some elders'' afterimages, although these afterimages will not be as strong as when this person was alive, they are not images that we can resist.


    Di Chen was even more confused: "I heard that many people from the Famous Sword Academy came here often previously, and no one had heard that there was such an image of a cripple. How did these cripples make a breakthrough?"


    Li You hesitated for a while before telling Di Chen: "I heard that the last generation of Sect Leader was refining a very powerful Spirit Sword before they died, and that before that the Spirit Sword was completely destroyed, everyone was killed and the Ten Thousand Swords Gate was no exception, and that the sword that was half refined was left in the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, sealed by a powerful formation. During this period of time, it is about to appear, so many people came to try their luck, and the figures of these people are most likely related to the Spirit Sword."


    Di Chen realised, no wonder he had seen so many people outside, it was indeed the right time for him to come, but he would need to rely on luck to reach the Spirit Sword, if he could find it, he might be able to train himself into a martial soul.


    "Di Chen..." Li You thought for a while, then said: "How about the two of us move out together?"


    Di Chen laughed: "But Senior Sister Li You moved together with Senior Brother Xiang Zuo, you know that there are some conflicts between me and Senior Brother Xiang Zuo, I''m afraid that the two of us moving together is not appropriate."


    Li You waved her hand: "Xiang Zuo and I are only on the same path, and can''t be considered to be moving at the same time. After entering the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, we split up, this place is very dangerous, and you are not familiar with this place.


    Di Chen faintly sensed that Li You was in danger. Honestly speaking, Di Chen did not have a good impression of him, but he did not want to reject her. Seeing that she was determined, he nodded: "Alright."


    The two of them went in together, and as expected, the number of human figures that they saw after entering the deep level of Ten Thousand Swords Gate increased. These human figures were all easily killed by Di Chen, so it was a lot easier for Li You.


    "Hmm?" Not long after, Di Chen suddenly stopped, he noticed that there was a completely undamaged Spirit Sword on the ground. He picked it up, this Spirit Sword was normal, but it was not completely damaged, and could still be used, but unfortunately, it was far from enough to make martial soul. Di Chen thought for a while, then kept the Spirit Sword, thinking that it might still be useful in the future.


    Li You smiled and reminded him: "This Spirit Sword does have a little bit of intelligence, but this little bit of intelligence is completely useless, what do you want it for."


    Di Chen said: "The usage of a fifth stage Life Seizing Cultivator is more than enough, at least they can be sold for some money."


    Actually, even if these Spirit Sword were thrown at Shuiyue Workshop, no one would buy them, unless they were extremely cheap.


    Li You thought that Di Chen must have his own plans, so she did not ask too much. The two of them continued to walk deeper, and after walking for another 10 minutes, they stopped, and the two of them noticed an old figure in front of them. This figure was sweeping the floor, and appeared to be just a normal miscellaneous person.


    "Di Chen, be careful," Li You said with a face full of vigilance.


    Di Chen looked around, he could not get past this place, it had to pass through this old man, he thought for a bit before writing a rascal word that floated towards the old man.


    But a scene that Di Chen did not expect happened. The human figure suddenly looked towards the word Broken, the broom in his hand gently pointed at it, and the word Broken exploded with a bang, transforming into bursts of wind and dissipated.


    "Conscious?" The shadow that Di Chen had killed earlier was completely unthinking and unconscious. It would never deliberately resist Di Chen, but this remnant could take the initiative and block Di Chen''s attack.


    At this moment, the figure looked over, and its gaze was fixated on Di Chen. As Di Chen walked towards the left, the old man''s gaze fell on the left, and could still look straight at Di Chen. This meant that it could truly see Di Chen, but he did not attack.


    Di Chen and Li You subconsciously retreated, thinking that something was wrong, they had met with trouble this time.

 C158

    "The two of you, go back," the figure said slowly. His voice was ethereal, as if he was floating in the sky.


    "He can speak?" Di Chen was startled. This person was clearly different from the others, he could actually speak, causing Di Chen to immediately withdraw his powers as a scholar. He looked at the old man and said: "Senior can see us?"


    The old man laughed. "You two are right in front of me. Why can''t I see you two?"


    The figure that Di Chen saw before was just a gust of air, but this figure could not only speak, but could even see?


    Li You did not dare to act in vain, and bowed: "This junior is a student of Famous Sword Academy, Famous Sword Academy and Ten Thousand Swords Gate have always been good friends, may I ask who Senior is, maybe this junior has heard of Senior before."


    How could the old man not understand what Li You meant? He laughed and said: "So you are a disciple of the Famous Sword Academy, although I am also from the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, but you all have never heard of me, I am just an ordinary person who sweeps the floor."


    Di Chen originally thought that this old man was at least an elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, but he didn''t expect that he would actually be an ordinary old man that swept the floor.


    Di Chen did not doubt him, as he squinted his eyes, he noticed that the old man also had a HP bar above his head, but that HP bar was empty, which meant that his HP bar was empty.


    "Only living beings have HP, how can this image exist? Moreover, his HP is still empty. Only a dead person''s HP would be like this. "


    After Di Chen erased the HP of others, their HP fell into a blank state. He did not understand and said while bowing: "Junior did not have any ill intentions just now, I hope senior does not mind."


    The old man carefully sized Di Chen up, and immediately saw that Di Chen was a literati. He was slightly surprised, but he did not say it out, and laughed: "Most of the Spirit Sword s from the students of Famous Sword Academy came from my Ten Thousand Swords Gate, it''s normal that the two of you would come here, it''s just that my Ten Thousand Swords Gate has been destroyed, so it''s useless for you to come here. I suggest that you all return, it''s too dangerous here."


    Li You believed the elder''s words, and nodded: "Thank you senior for your warning, junior will leave now."


    She then looked at Di Chen, indicating for him to quickly leave, the old man might be in danger.


    Di Chen was a little unwilling, after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I am truly sorry, but this junior still wants to go in and take a look."


    The old man glanced at Di Chen and said: "I can see that you don''t have any Yuan Power in your body, but the attack just now was not weak. It seems like you are a literati, not bad, there are already very few scholars in Martial Region Continent who can cultivate to your level, but you are only at the first stage of the Martial King realm, even weaker than this girl. If you go in, you will only be sending yourself to your death.


    Di Chen was secretly surprised, he thought that this was just an afterimage, but he could feel that he did not have any spirit force, and could judge that he was a literati. His cultivation level was probably much higher than his, but Di Chen was still not willing to give up, and calmly looked at the old man.


    The old man saw that Di Chen had made his decision, and laughed: It seems like you are not listening to my advice, if you want to go in, then go ahead, I will not stop you, but that sword is something that fate has in store for you, you are not a destined person, this is my last word of advice to you, this is for you.


    The old man touched the ground and a broken sword flew out. This sword was filled with cracks and did not have a single bit of Spiritual Energy, it simply did not look like a Spirit Sword.


    Di Chen thought that this sword was everywhere on the streets, it could not be the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s Spirit Sword that was about to appear, right? But he did not reject it, he kept his sword and cupped his fists: "Thank you, senior."


    The old man no longer looked at Di Chen and continued sweeping the floor.


    Di Chen clasped his hands at the old man once again, and once again, headed deeper inside. Li You gave it some thought before he followed him in.


    After the two of them disappeared from sight, the old man stopped and shook his head slightly as he looked at their backs. Then, he continued sweeping the floor.


    After going deeper, Di Chen saw many more afterimages, but these afterimages were unlike the old man who could speak.


    Whoosh ¡­


    Just at this moment, sounds of winds breaking sounded out, and five men descended, surrounding Di Chen and Li You. The bodies of the five men released an evil Qi, it seemed like they were from the Demonic Dao, there were a lot of Demonic Dao in the Spirit Continent, it was normal for them to appear here.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen raised his brows, looked at the five and asked: "You are?"


    Li You said with a face of vigilance: "Di Chen, be careful, they are the Mo Family''s Five Generals."


    "Five generals of the Mo Family?" Di Chen had never heard of this name before.


    Li You explained the identities of the five people simply. The five people were originally from a Mo Family in the same Youzhou region, and the names of the five people were Mo Hong, Mo Qing, Mo Li, Mo Ren and Mo Xie. The Mo Family was very mysterious and did not know where their family was located, only that there were five generals in the Mo Family who were extremely talented, cruel and murderous.


    Di Chen and Mo Qing both had the double stage of a Martial King, while Mo Jin had the Third Level of the Martial King Realm. Mo Xie''s cultivation was the strongest, at the fourth stage of the Martial King realm. The strength of these three people was not something Di Chen could defend against.


    "Is there something you need?" Di Chen tried his best to remain calm.


    Mo Hong laughed: "I''m fine, I just had a hard time meeting and wanted to play with you guys."


    Di Chen laughed lightly: "You must have come here at this time to hear the news of the appearance of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s Spirit Sword, I also have this goal, if you want to stay here and make things difficult for us, we might as well hurry up and find the sword, don''t let others beat us to it."


    "So you have the same goal as us. Doesn''t that mean that there are two less competitors after I kill you?"


    Mo Qing and Mo Hong both had strong fighting intent and a strong killing intent. The two were the most dangerous.


    Di Chen laughed but did not say a word, but he was extremely anxious in his heart, if both sides really were to fight, Di Chen would not have any confidence.


    The demon''s gaze pierced through Di Chen''s thoughts, laughing coldly: "You seem calm on the surface, but you are actually already very afraid in your heart, yet you still know how to act."


    Di Chen continued to look at the few of them calmly, not saying a word. The power of the scholars in his body slowly flowed out, ready to attack at any moment.


    Demoness looked at Mo Xie and asked: "Big brother, are we going to kill them?"


    Mo Xie stared at Di Chen and Li You for a while, as though he was considering whether or not he should kill the two, he thought for a moment and shook his head: Forget it, bring them away with us, maybe we''ll need them later.


    Mo Hong did not think much about it and said: "Big brother, are you preparing to use these two as bait? I think there''s no need for that, we''ve also been here before, so it''s not too dangerous. We don''t even need any bait, it''s better to just kill them directly to prevent them from thinking too much."


    Demon Qing laughed, "Mo Hong, are you afraid of them?"


    Mo Hong snorted: "One of these two people doesn''t have any soul force, so killing him is easy for me. The other is only a stage higher than me, maybe killing her would take a bit of effort, but it won''t be too difficult. You''re underestimating me too much."


    When he spoke, he was very confident. It seemed that he really did have the ability to kill the two of them.


    In fact, every one of the Demon Generals had the strength to fight across borders, and were on par with the direct disciples of the Famous Sword Academy.


    Mo Xie waved his hands, signalling that there was no need to kill. He looked at Di Chen and Li You and said with a tone that did not allow any opposition: "Let''s go."


    Di Chen and Li You looked at each other. Li You''s eyes indicated for Di Chen not to act carelessly, and in the end, the two of them decided to leave with them. They only followed them because sooner or later, they would be in danger, and Di Chen was also thinking of a way out.


    "Di Chen..." It was at this time that Li You''s voice came from his heart. He was startled and looked at Li You in surprise.


    Li You calmly looked forward, as if she hadn''t noticed Di Chen''s expression, and continued: "This is a sound transmission that is unique to me, you must not resist, that way I can hear your thoughts, and you don''t need to arouse their suspicions as well."


    Di Chen was secretly surprised, he never thought that Li You would have such a mystical technique, he relaxed his mind and accepted Li You''s voice: "I know, Senior Sister Li You, these five people seem to be in danger, what should we do?"


    Li You said with a serious expression: "Given our strength, I''m afraid that at most, the two of us can only take care of the two Martial King level and one Third Level of the Martial King Realm person. The remaining triple stage and one fourth stage is troublesome, what do you think?"


    Di Chen secretly thought that Li You was not weak, and was probably holding back on what he had just said. He said: "I actually think that the two of us can deal with those two people of the fourth stage and the two Third Level of the Martial King Realm together."


    Li You was slightly taken aback: "You have that kind of confidence?"


    This also depended on Di Chen''s strength. Previously, she said that he could only deal with two people from the double stage and one person from the triple stage at most because she was a little worried about Di Chen''s strength, but now, after hearing Di Chen''s words, he knew that he had underestimated him.


    Di Chen calmly sent a sound transmission to them: "However, those two martial king''s double stage are also very troublesome. If we can kill them, then the chances of it happening is even greater."


    Li You secretly shook her head, thinking that the two of them were not weak, she could not possibly be killed instantly, as long as they attacked, the others would retaliate, she thought that if Xiang Zuo was here, she would have the ability to fight, but there was one less person on her side, and the only thing that she did not know was that Di Chen had the ability to.


    Di Chen squinted his eyes, thinking that if he could kill one of them at this time, it would be the same, but when his gaze landed on Mo Hong, his HP bar appeared above his head, Di Chen channeled his powers into Mo Hong''s HP bar, and quietly erased his HP bar.

 C159

    "Hmm?" Mo Hong suddenly stopped and looked around curiously.


    Mo Xie frowned: "What''s wrong?"


    Mo Hong shook her head: "I keep feeling a little cold, as if I''m being watched by an expert."


    Mo Xie squinted his eyes and looked around him. He did not see anyone else and shook his head. "I did not sense anyone else.


    Mo Hong said firmly: "Big Brother, you know that my senses are the strongest, I keep having the feeling that someone is trying to attack me, but this kind of attack is insubstantial and insubstantial, and I can''t really feel it."


    Even though erasing one''s HP was like a curse, it was not as scary as a curse. Di Chen erased other people''s HP and killed them bit by bit.


    The demon ritual suddenly stared at Di Chen and Li You, and said softly: It couldn''t be the both of you doing this, right?


    Li You laughed coldly: "You are still a Third Level of the Martial King Realm after all, and it can''t be that you can''t sense whether the two of us have used our Origin Energy or not?"


    Furthermore, Di Chen''s body did not have any elemental energy, so it was obviously not like the two of them were talking about it. Immediately, he gave up his doubts and turned around to leave.


    "That''s not right," Mo Li suddenly thought of something, then looked at Di Chen and said: "You do not have any spirit force to prove that you are not a warrior, or else how do you dare come here?"


    Furthermore, there was another reason. Li You was a person with Third Level of the Martial King Realm and her strength was very strong.


    This only meant that this guy was not as simple as he thought he was. He must be hiding some secret?


    Di Chen knew that if he didn''t say something, these guys wouldn''t give up and immediately said: "It''s just that I don''t have any Origin Energy and can''t cultivate. But my strength is strong, and my strength isn''t weak either.


    Hearing this, everyone revealed a curious look. If a person could defeat someone of the same cultivation level by relying solely on strength, then only a demonic beast would be able to do it, because the strength of a demonic beast was the strongest.


    Mo Hong looked at Di Chen playfully and said, "This is the first time I see a martial artist who only has strength but no spirit energy. Furthermore, he actually boasts so shamelessly, how about the two of us compete a little?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Alright, if you are willing, I can accompany you."


    "Di Chen," Li You really did not think that Di Chen would brag like this. To say such words in front of the Mo Family''s Five Generals was clearly provoking them, she really did not understand Di Chen''s intention.


    Di Chen waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.


    Mo Hong walked out as her spirit energy surged. Suddenly, she punched towards Di Chen, and a black gas could be seen within his fist. This was the fist technique passed down in the ancestors of the Mo Family, the Anti-Demon Fist Technique.


    Di Chen hastily sent a fist out towards Mo Hong. The two powerful forces clashed and Di Chen was immediately blown away, the bones in his arm made a creaking sound, his arm was already broken. Mo Hong also retreated a few steps, but she was not injured.


    Li You hurriedly helped Di Chen up. Seeing that Di Chen was only injured, it seemed that his life was not in danger.


    "Huh?" Mo Hong asked curiously: "I never thought that you would be so strong. If I was at the first stage of the Martial King realm, I''m afraid I wouldn''t be able to defeat you. Interesting, let''s do it again."


    He wanted to make another move, but this time, he was clearly ready to kill.


    "Come back," Mo Xie suddenly shouted, "Stop fighting, you still have things to do."


    The reason why Mo Xie did not stop Mo Hong just now was to see if what he said was true or false. Now, it seemed like what said was true, he was indeed very strong, even if he did not have any Yuan Power, a first stage Martial King would not be able to deal with him.


    Mo Hong did not dare to disobey her own rules, and kept her spirit force, and laughed at Di Chen: "I will let you go for now, but next time, I will not."


    Di Chen remained silent, thinking that he had muddled his way through, and these people probably did not think that he was secretly killing Mo Hong, but from that punch just now, Di Chen had not used his full strength, so if he had used his full strength, he was sure that he could have heavily injured Mo Hong.


    "Oh right," Mo Xie looked at Di Chen with curiosity. "Your power is not something that humans can compare to. Even some of the northern barbarian race s aren''t as strong as you.


    Di Chen thought that if he did not give them a reason, they would not let him go, and he would not find any excuse to give them away. They would not believe him, so he spoke honestly: "I was originally an ordinary person, but a few years ago I luckily obtained a Pearl of Life, I could absorb it and turn it into my own strength."


    "Pearl of Life?" Everyone was surprised, even Li You.


    Mo Hong licked her lips and revealed a greedy smile: "I never thought that you would actually get such a good thing. No wonder your power is so great, giving you something like this is truly a waste."


    Looking at him, it seemed that he really wanted to kill Di Chen and steal the Pearl of Life.


    Mo Xie saw through Mo Hong''s intentions with a glance, and reminded him: "That Pearl of Life has already been refined by him, you have no way to snatch it, so don''t act recklessly."


    After Mo Hong heard this, he could only withdraw. With a regretful expression, he said: "That''s too unfortunate, if I could have obtained a Pearl of Life, my strength would definitely have increased by several fold."


    Mo Xie looked at Di Chen, he did not have any plans to snatch the Pearl of Life, so he did not ask, and looked at Mo Hong: "How do you feel now?"


    Mo Hong shrunk her body and said: "I''m still the same as before, I just feel a little cold, but there''s nothing else abnormal, maybe it''s because my strength is too weak."


    It was just that Mo Hong and Mo Qing''s strengths were about the same, Mo Qing did not feel the cold, but Mo Hong did, which was really weird.


    "Big Brother, it shouldn''t have been him who did it, right?" Pi Li asked in a low voice.


    Mo Xie nodded his head: "Probably not, probably because of Mo Hong''s recent injuries, after all his cultivation is still weak."


    The cultivation method that the Mo Family''s Five Generals cultivated was already very evil, it had a heavy burden on the body. Previously, Mo Hong had cultivated too unbridled and she had also suffered from the backlash of the cultivation technique, so it was normal that Mo Hong would act like that since the Ten Thousand Swords Gate was so cold, thus Mo Xie did not mind.


    Di Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that luckily these people did not suspect anything, so there shouldn''t be a problem.


    At this moment, Li You''s voice sounded in Di Chen''s heart, "Why did you tell me your secret just now?"


    Di Chen explained. "If we don''t convince them with something, it''ll be very dangerous for us."


    Li You thought that she was right, and asked again: "Then, did you do something to Mo Hong just now?"


    Di Chen continued to channel the power of the scholar into Mo Hong''s body, and laughed: "This Mo Hong is going to die very quickly, kill him, I will continue to kill Mo Qing."


    Li You was secretly surprised, she had originally thought that Mo Hong would definitely suffer from a backlash from her cultivation technique, but she didn''t expect that it was really Di Chen who did it. It was just that she didn''t see Di Chen do it, and the others also couldn''t see how he did it, so it was no wonder Di Chen was so confident earlier.


    literati could still kill people silently. This Di Chen was very scary.


    Everyone continued to delve deeper.


    Ten minutes later, Di Chen finally let out a sigh of relief. He had already erased a large portion of Mo Hong''s HP, at most, Mo Hong could only live for an hour, and Mo Hong only had a Martial King double stage, erasing his HP wasn''t too difficult, but erasing her HP would also consume a third of Di Chen''s strength. Although this move was formless, it still consumed too much of his strength, so Di Chen had wanted to erase him immediately, but he thought that once he died, the other four would definitely doubt him, and at that time, he would still die.


    "Next is the Demon Qing," Di Chen took a deep breath, then poured the power of the scholar into the Demon Qing''s body.


    Demon Qing immediately felt a chill and also stopped. "Why do I feel cold too?"


    "You felt it too?" If it was just Mo Hong alone who felt that everyone was not paying attention to him, then everyone would have to be cautious since even Mo Qing felt that way too.


    Mo Hong moved his body a bit, and said doubtfully: "I seem to have gotten that feeling, and my body doesn''t seem to have any abnormalities."


    "Are we really being targeted by some powerful being?"


    Other than this possibility, the devilish ritual could not think of any other reason. It was just that as a Third Level of the Martial King Realm, it still could not detect any suspicious aspects.


    Mo Qing laughed, "Actually, it''s just a little bit cold deep down inside. I think it''s probably caused by the Demonic Cultivating Technique, so there''s no need to worry. Let''s continue. We just have to wait until we leave this place."


    After hearing what Mo Qing said, Mo Xie did not pursue the matter any further. He thought it was normal for the people of the Mo Family to have side effects from cultivating their devil arts, so he did not mind.


    Di Chen saw that Mo Xie still had not let out a single breath of relief, and continued to remove Mo Qing''s HP bar, and ten minutes later, more than half of his HP bar was erased, leaving behind the exact same time as Mo Hong. This time, he finally retracted his powers as a scholar, and told Li You everything that had happened.


    Li You was also surprised when she heard it. Di Chen had said that both Mo Qing and Mo Hong would die very soon, but she really could not see how Di Chen did it.


    "Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion?" After walking for another ten minutes or so, they finally reached the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate. The two of them saw a gigantic pavilion, which had five floors and took up a huge amount of space.


    Li You looked at the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion and said: "Actually I have been here a few times before, I have also been to the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, the things inside have long been emptied out, there is nothing special, do you want to go in to take a look?"


    Di Chen''s eyes flickered, but in the end, he still shook his head and said, "Forget it, I feel that it''s very dangerous inside. I won''t go in."


    Li You froze for a moment, and thought to herself that she had entered before, there was no danger in this place, how could Di Chen feel it?


    The old man who swept the floor was also in danger, but Di Chen still did not listen to his advice and came in. Now, however, Di Chen did not dare enter the pavilion.

 C160

    "If you say you can''t go in, then you won''t go in?" Mo Hong choked: "This is the cultivation grounds of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s elders, if the Spirit Sword is definitely here, you must enter."


    He was preparing to use Di Chen as bait and see if there was any danger inside.


    Di Chen stared coldly at Mo Hong, he did not want to die.


    Mo Hong''s elemental energy gushed out, as though she wanted to make a move. "Don''t force me to kill you, quickly go in."


    Di Chen saw that Mo Hong seemed to insist on going in, but he did not have a choice. In the end, she walked to the door and after a moment of hesitation, she pushed open the door.


    A rotten smell suddenly came out from the door, causing Di Chen to feel like puking, he retreated to the side and fanned himself with his hands.


    "There is a strong aura of death here. It seems that quite a number of people have died inside. What should we do?"


    Mo Xie hesitated: "Mo Hong is right, if there are any Spirit Sword in the pavilion, let us go in."


    Then, he looked at Di Chen and ordered, "You take the lead."


    Di Chen could only walk to the front, the pavilion was very big, and what entered his eyes was a large hall. On both sides of the hall were two paths of darkness, Di Chen did not have the authority to express his opinion, as to which path he should take, he would definitely look at Mo Xie.


    Mo Xie stared at the two paths for a while, thought for a while, then looked at Mo Li and said: "You and Mo Ren take the left path with this woman, Mo Hong, Mo Qing and I will take the right one with this man."


    Mage was surprised: "It is too dangerous to split up. Brother, how about we go to the left side first? If there are no rewards then we can go to the right side."


    Mo Xie shook his head: "No, I keep having the feeling that this place is very dangerous, and that I can''t waste too much time."


    Just now, Mo Hong and Mo Qing had already caused Mo Xie to faintly feel unwell. Adding to the fact that there was indeed an aura that made even Mo Xie feel uneasy in the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, he did not want to stay here for too long.


    "Alright," Mo Ren still nodded and led Li You to the left side.


    Li You did not refute him and only carefully sent a sound transmission to Di Chen, "I have my ways of dealing with these two fellows. Be careful."


    Actually, Li You had the strength to fight with Mo Xie, but she did not expect Li You to not go along with her and instead choose to fight with her. She did not think that Di Chen still had a way to kill Mo Xie who was at the fourth stage of the Martial King realm.


    Di Chen said in his heart: "Nothing will happen to me."


    In reality, Mo Hong and Mo Qing did not have much time left, only Mo Xie was left after their deaths. Mo Xie was three small realms higher than him, Di Chen had no way of killing him, but it was also not easy for him to kill Di Chen either.


    Mo Xie, Mo Qing and Mo Hong then led Di Chen to the right, where Di Chen was still walking at the front, acting as cannon fodder.


    The path was deep and dark, no more than two meters wide. Red candles were lit on the walls. These red candles emitted a faint red glow, looking somewhat bloody.


    "Hmm?" Just then, Di Chen suddenly stopped, he looked ahead warily, and after a moment, he saw a figure floating in front of him, causing Di Chen to retreat quickly.


    Mo Hong taunted: "Didn''t you claim that your strength is not weak, why can''t you deal with an afterimage?"


    Di Chen also did not reply him, it was not that Di Chen was not able to handle it, it was just that Di Chen was afraid of exposing his identity.


    Mo Hong walked forward a few steps, releasing a burst of spirit force, then she saw the figure of the person suddenly warped, as though it was pulled away by an invisible force, following that, it disappeared with a whoosh. This cultivation technique seemed to have some similarities with Di Chen''s broken formula, as though it could warp space itself.


    After killing the figure, Mo Hong then looked at Di Chen and commanded: "Useless thing, continue to move."


    Di Chen continued to lead the way and met with a few black figures in front of him. In the end, they were all easily killed by Mo Hong.


    This kind of heat made Di Chen feel a little uncomfortable. If he did not need to protect the formula, he really would not be able to endure it, but he could not display this technique in front of them, otherwise they would suspect him.


    Mo Hong ordered: "Hurry up, if you continue to dawdle, don''t blame me for being impolite."


    Di Chen could tell that Mo Hong had really tried to kill him, he knew that if he wasn''t able to use it, these people would really kill him. Di Chen could only continue to go deeper, the air was getting hotter and hotter, until Di Chen''s entire body was covered in sweat, he could barely hold on as he wiped off his sweat, but Di Chen was still able to grit his teeth and endured. After walking for a few minutes, he saw a huge secret room.


    The sword was red in color, and the words "Pursuing the Spirit" were engraved on its surface. A powerful force was being emitted from the sword.


    "Is this the sword refined by the last Sect Leader?"


    Upon seeing the sword, Mo Hong and the rest were all surprised, but no one dared to immediately go forward to get it.


    Mo Xie looked around, the secret room was not big, but it gave him a sense of danger, he looked at Di Chen and said: Go and get the sword.


    Di Chen didn''t dare to go, and rejected: "This kind of thing isn''t something that an ordinary person can obtain. If I go and retrieve it, it would be equivalent to suicide."


    Earlier, the old man had said that the sword was something that those who were fated to get it from, and Di Chen believed that the Ten Thousand Swords Gate would not leave the sword here for others to retrieve, which meant that there must be an array mechanism here, to obtain it so quickly was too dangerous.


    Mo Hong laughed coldly: "If you don''t go retrieve it, then it is death or not. Do you think that it is better to take the sword back and live or do you think it is better to let us kill you?"


    Di Chen still shook his head: "Even if you kill me, I won''t take the sword."


    Mo Hong could tell that Di Chen was determined not to make a move this time. His elemental energy gushed out and he said: "Since that''s the case, then you have no use.


    As he said that, he threw a punch towards Di Chen, and it was the punch he used against Di Chen just now. But this time, he did not show any mercy, as to how Di Chen was going to deal with him, he might as well kill him.


    Di Chen did not move at all, nor did he dodge at all. Mo Hong did not understand, she only felt that Di Chen was putting on an act, he continued to attack, but just as his fist was about to land on Di Chen, his body suddenly stopped, and then fell flat on the ground.


    "Mo Hong," Mo Qing''s face was full of shock, he immediately ran to Mo Hong''s back and tried to take Mo Hong''s breath. Mo Hong had already stopped breathing and died, but how did Mo Hong die?


    Mo Qing looked at Di Chen in shock and said angrily: "You did it, right? How did you kill Mo Hong?"


    Di Chen sneered: "What are you being so anxious for, it''ll be you later."


    When Mo Qing heard this, he hurriedly punched Di Chen, but the fist did not touch him. Just like Mo Hong, he directly fell to the ground, dying in an instant without any signs of struggling.


    "What''s going on?" Mo Xie realized that Mo Qing was also mysteriously killed, but he did not manage to see how the two of them died, he suddenly recalled how the two of them spoke coldly in succession, and when he thought back to how Di Chen had attacked him at that time, he looked at Di Chen in shock and asked, "What did you do?"


    Di Chen taunted: "Nothing, I just took their lives."


    Mo Xie did not know how Di Chen did it, but he did not care too much now, and inwardly thought that maybe this guy had made a move on him too. There was not enough time for him to think, as his fist punched towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s power of a scholar immediately gushed out, and shouted loudly: "Freeze!"


    When the words came out, Mo Xie''s body froze, unable to move at all. "My body, what kind of cultivation technique is this?"


    Di Chen anxiously threw a punch towards Mo Xie, but Mo Xie was only stopped for a moment, and he quickly recovered. At the same time, he threw a punch towards Di Chen.


    Bang!


    Mo Xie''s strength was much stronger than Mo Hong''s, so Di Chen was immediately sent flying with a punch, and his head smashed heavily against the wall.


    Mo Xie did not continue to attack and said softly: "You originally knew the cultivation technique, but why did I not feel the Origin Energy in your body?"


    Di Chen used his hands to prop himself up from the ground, his bones seemed to have broken, but he was still able to move, and laughed coldly: "I do not have any spirit energy, I am not a martial artist, but I am a literati, and the skills I am using are techniques that only scholars can practice."


    "literati?" Mo Xie was surprised, the Martial Region Continent was currently a martial artist, and there were many of them. He had never seen this literati, and had only heard of this literati before, but there was one right in front of his eyes?


    Mo Xie gritted his teeth. How could this fellow only rely on pure strength to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Gate? It was a pity that he did not put Di Chen in his eyes before, and that was why he gave Di Chen the chance to kill Mo Hong and Mo Qing.


    The Mo Family had been famous for a long time, and now two of them had died in a single day, how could Mo Xie endure it?


    "Go to hell," Mo Xie said as he flipped his hand, forming a curved dagger. The sword was curved and it turned blood-red like a snake, he picked up the dagger and thrusted it at Di Chen ruthlessly.


    Di Chen did not dare to be careless, he immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "spear" written on it. With the surge of his human power, a spear immediately flew out to welcome Mo Xie.


    Mo Xie''s sword stabbed into the spear, and with a loud bang, the spear shattered on the spot. Di Chen was immediately sent flying by the wave of ripples, and even though he had retreated a few steps, he was not injured at all.


    "What a powerful cultivation technique, to think that it could actually resist my Blood-Drinking Sword." Mo Xie''s short sword belonged to the inheritance of the Demon General, and he had killed countless people. He thought that it was very difficult for someone below the fourth level of the Martial King realm to resist, but unfortunately for him, the opponent was able to resist it today?


    Mo Xie stared at Di Chen and said, "I can tell that your realm is only at the first stage of the Martial King realm. With your strength, you are simply unable to defeat me.


    As he said that, his spirit energy surged into the sword. The sword tip stabbed forward and a blood blade shot towards Di Chen.


    This time, Di Chen took out two pieces of paper with the word "spear" written on it and threw it out. The two spears welcomed the blood blade, and after two consecutive explosions, Di Chen was sent flying backwards and vomited a mouthful of blood.


    Mo Xie pointed his sword at Di Chen, and still wanted to stab him: "Let''s see if you die or not."


    Di Chen''s face changed, he thought that he might not be able to hold on this time.

 C161

    However, at this moment, a humming sound came from the secret room, followed by the explosion of the furnace. The entire secret room trembled, and flames flew in all directions. Waves of heat surged out from the room.


    Mo Xie and Di Chen immediately hid behind the wall, if they were directly hit by the heat wave, they would be burnt to ashes.


    After a while, the fire wave finally dissipated. At this time, the demonic beast''s roar came from the secret room.


    "What is this?" In the center of the flames, there was a demonic beast. This demonic beast looked like a dragon but not a tiger, a lion but not a lion, and it looked a little like an ancient Qilin, but it was obvious that it was not, but it was still very strong and probably around the power of the Martial King six stages. It was just that this demonic beast did not seem to have fully awoken, and was still a little blurry.


    Mo Xie noticed the Divine Chasing Sword lying beside the demonic beast, and wanted to go in to retrieve it, but just as he took a step forward, the demonic beast roared at Mo Xie, and Mo Xie did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he retreated, and his gaze landed on the injured Ye Puti.


    Di Chen was injured, how could he resist. After falling into the secret room, the demonic beast pounced towards Di Chen.


    Once the demonic beast left Mo Xie''s side, it rushed towards the Divine Chasing Sword and grabbed it. Picking up the Divine Chasing Sword, she retreated, then carried Mo Hong and Mo Qing''s bodies and ran, not caring about what happened to Di Chen.


    The demonic beast pounced towards Di Chen, causing Di Chen to groan in his heart, he quickly took out a slip of paper with the word "Protector" written on it, and poured the power of the scholar into it. The word "Protector" formed a seal that covered Di Chen''s body.


    Bang!


    The demonic beast grabbed onto Di Chen''s barrier and it immediately collapsed. Once again, Di Chen was flipped over and this formula protection was Di Chen''s strongest defensive move, but it could not withstand this demonic beast''s attack. Furthermore, this demonic beast had not completely awakened yet, so Di Chen would definitely die when it completely wakes up.


    Di Chen quickly wrote a word and floated towards the demonic beast, but the demonic beast did not seem to be affected at all as it continued to walk towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen had no other choice, but at this time, Di Chen suddenly felt a burst of cold Qi from his body, which was the sword that the old man gave Di Chen.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen anxiously took out his sword and slashed at the demonic beast. The sword looked ordinary, but the sword pierced into the demonic beast''s body, causing lava to flow out from the wound, which was the blood of the demonic beast.


    The demonic beast screamed, it was deafening, almost causing Di Chen''s heart to rupture, it raised its claws and grabbed towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen anxiously took out a slip of paper with the word "Protector" written on it. The power of the scholar flowed into the slip of paper and the word "Protector" formed a barrier around Di Chen''s body.


    The demonic beast grabbed onto the barrier again, and it instantly collapsed. Di Chen had also used up all of his scholars'' energy, so with his cultivation, he could at most use the formula to protect himself twice.


    The demonic beast screamed in pain as it swung its head to throw Di Chen out. The demonic beast once again rushed towards Di Chen with big strides, but this time, Di Chen truly had no way of resisting, but the demonic beast did not suddenly crash into the ground when it was about to reach Di Chen, and its body slowly melted into magma, while the sword actually melted into molten liquid.


    "He''s finally dead," Di Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was somewhat suspicious, this sword may seem ordinary, but it can actually slay demonic beast, so how could it be melted by the magma?


    Di Chen suddenly thought of the old man, thinking that maybe the sword was just an ordinary broken sword, but the old man had deliberately saved his life, it seemed like he knew that he would encounter such a danger.


    "Many thanks senior," Di Chen muttered to himself, he supported himself up from the ground, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a fist-sized red bead in the lava.


    "What is this?" Di Chen picked up the pearl and looked at it curiously. The pearl had a burning sensation on it, it must be the demonic beast''s beast core.


    Di Chen suddenly thought that since it was a Spirit Demon Core, and he did not know if he could absorb it, although the demonic beast was different from normal demonic beast, he could give it a try.


    Di Chen immediately walked out of the private room and found another private room. This private room was empty, he sat cross-legged on the floor with the Spirit Demon Core in his hand, the Pearl of Life in his body quickly rotated, and the Spirit Demon Core immediately began to slowly shrink, merging with the energy in Di Chen''s palm and then extending through his veins to enter every inch of Di Chen''s body.


    This kind of heat seemed to be able to melt Di Chen''s body. Di Chen quickly stopped and broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he had absorbed it too quickly, causing the organs in his body to almost burn.


    Di Chen slightly slowed down his rate of absorbing the Spirit Demon Pellet, and as the Spirit Demon pellet slowly fused with his body, his power also continuously increased. It had to be said that absorbing the Spirit Demon Pellet was a lot slower than before, and it took two days for Di Chen to completely absorb the Spirit Demon Pellet.


    Di Chen took a deep breath. He could instantly absorb the demonic beast''s flesh and blood from before, but he had spent two days on this beast core.


    "My strength is comparable to the power of a Martial King," Di Chen said as he spread open his hands. He could feel that his strength had increased quite a bit, and the organs in his body looked brand-new, filled with a fiery energy.


    Di Chen walked to the wall and smashed it with his fist. A huge hole was smashed into the wall and the hole was charred black as if it was charred.


    "Eh, this power is so hot." Di Chen realized that the power of his punch carried a burning sensation, as if his fist was wrapped in flames.


    "My strength has increased by quite a bit as well. Although I might not necessarily win against that Mo Xie this time, I will not lose so badly. As for those two Third Level of the Martial King Realm people, they shouldn''t be my match."


    Di Chen immediately became excited and left the secret room in a hurry. He did not know how Bai Qian and Zi Yan''s current situation was, and as for Li You, he was not worried about him. The lady was a dangerous person to begin with.


    Bang!


    Before Di Chen even stepped out of the pavilion, he heard the sounds of a battle from ahead. He carefully walked over and saw that the two sides in front of him were actually just and Demoness.


    However, it would not be easy for Li You to kill off the demon ritual. Furthermore, there were two of them spectating from the side, they clearly wouldn''t give Li You the chance to kill off the demon ritual. If she really could not hold on, the two of them would naturally attack.


    "Whiz!"


    Li You tapped on the center of her brows, and a Spirit Sword shot out from between her eyebrows.


    "This girl is quite impressive," Demoness smiled playfully and said, "Demoness'' strength is slightly stronger than mine. If I were in her place, I probably wouldn''t be able to defeat her."


    Mo Xie said calmly: "She is a student of the Famous Sword Academy, it isn''t easy for her to enter that student. Mo Ren, you should go and help the devil and kill that woman as soon as possible, I have an uneasy feeling."


    Mo Ren was a proud and arrogant person, he didn''t seem to be willing to participate in this kind of battle. However, after thinking about it, he nodded and thrusted the Scarlet Spirit Sword at Li You.


    This was also the Vampiric Sword. Mo Family had polished a total of five Vampiric Swords, giving them to the five Demon Generals.


    Li You''s expression changed, she alone was not a problem in dealing with the demonic etiquette, but she could not win against another one. Quickly, she summoned her Sword Martial Spirit and thrusted at the demonic etiquette, but at the same time, the demonic etiquette stabbed with the Vampiric Sword, the two of them pincers attacked Li You together, causing Li You to be unable to handle the two of them.


    "Li You, you handle the previous one. I will kill this Demon Ren."


    At this moment, a figure rushed out and punched at Mo Ren.


    "Di Chen?" Earlier, when she saw Mo Xie return, she did not see Mo Hong, Mo Qing and Di Chen. She knew that Di Chen must have killed Mo Qing and Mo Hong, and Mo Xie would naturally not let him off. Di Chen was definitely dead, but she did not expect that Di Chen was still alive.


    Li You did not know whether Di Chen had the ability to kill Mo Ren or not, but since Di Chen had said so with confidence, he decided to go all out to kill Mo Li.


    "He didn''t die?" ''s face was full of surprise. Previously, when he threw Di Chen into the secret room, he did not care about Di Chen, and even he could kill the demonic beast, so Di Chen naturally could not win. But he really did not expect that Di Chen was actually still alive.


    Mo Ren squinted at Di Chen, and said coldly: "You''re not dead? It is good that he is not dead, previously, you killed Mo Hong and Mo Qing, and it just so happens that I can kill you myself. "


    Di Chen did not retreat, he punched towards Mo Ren, bringing with him a blazing aura, his powers as a scholar had already been exhausted, he could only use brute strength.


    "So hot." Demoness only felt a wave of heat enter her body, and it was also very strong. This power was as if it could crush anything, and it was much stronger than that strike she had with Mo Hong earlier. He was secretly shocked, this guy''s strength had increased?


    "Not good," Mo Xie immediately saw that the current Di Chen was different from the past, and shouted in shock, "Demoness, come back, you are not his opponent."


    However, it was already too late. Di Chen and Mo Ren clashed head on, Mo Jia''s fist instantly turned into ashes, following that, Di Chen''s fist smashed into Mo Ren''s body, the moment his fist touched Mo Ren, he instantly turned into ashes.


    "This ¡­" Mo Xie was shocked. He knew how strong Mo Ren was, but this fellow smashed Mo Ren to death with a single punch?


    The Devil Rites from afar also seemed to be somewhat inconceivable. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong wave of energy surging towards him.


    "So strong?" This time, Li You released her full strength. The devil ritual was simply unable to resist, and with a swoosh, Sword Martial Spirit broke through the demon ritual''s forehead.


    Then, Li You retreated back to Di Chen''s side, as she calmly stared at Mo Xie.


    Mo Xie looked at the corpse of Mo Li in disbelief. In just a second, both of them died?

 C162

    "I''ll kill you two," Mo Xie took out the Ginseng Blood Sword and frantically threw it at Di Chen and Li You. The Blood-Drinking Sword revealed a powerful force, which even Li You was slightly afraid of.


    Li You did not dare to be careless, she pressed on the center of her brows, and the Sword Martial Spirit shot out from between her eyebrows, welcoming Mo Xie. With a sound, the Sword Martial Spirit was immediately pushed back, with faint signs of collapsing, while Mo Xie also retreated a few steps.


    "You want to kill me with such little strength?" Mo Xie''s sword tip stabbed forward, releasing a blood blade that flew towards Li You.


    "I''ll do it," Di Chen said, knowing that if Li You used his Sword Martial Spirit to defend against this Sword Martial Spirit, he would definitely be destroyed.


    Puff!


    The blazing power struck the blood blade, it instantly deformed and dispersed, while Di Chen was also pushed away by the force. Bang!


    "How can his strength be so strong?" Mo Xie could not believe that a human''s fist could actually defend against his Blood-Drinking Sword. It had only been two days, how could this guy''s strength increase so quickly?


    In reality, this was also because Di Chen had refined the demonic beast''s beast core. Not only did it greatly increase Di Chen''s strength, it also fused the flame into Di Chen''s energy. Di Chen''s every punch carried the power of fire, and was even stronger than Di Chen''s Spear Arts.


    Mo Xie waved his Blood-Drinking Sword again, and a series of blood blades shot towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen punched the blood blades, each of his punches were able to crush them into pieces, but the damage to Di Chen caused by the blood blades was much greater, although he did not appear to be injured on the surface, but in reality, his internal organs were already injured, but Mo Xie was not able to kill Di Chen in this short period of time.


    At the same time, Li You also unleashed her Sword Martial Spirit s to slash at Mo Xie. The two of them, together, were not even able to match up to Mo Xie, and were forced to retreat step by step, almost dying several times in his hands.


    Mo Xie was angered by Li You and Di Chen so he immediately took out a red Spirit Sword. This was the sword he had obtained from the secret room.


    "This is the last Spirit Sword refined by the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, only those with Martial Saint have the qualifications to own it. I want to see how you two will withstand this sword, both of you die."


    Mo Xie roared, as he said that he raised the Divine Chasing Sword and slashed towards Li You and Di Chen.


    The Divine Chasing Sword shone brightly as a strong power was released from the sword. This power caused the entire space to tremble.


    "Not good, quickly retreat," Li You''s face changed, as he could tell how powerful the sword was, if he was affected by the power of the sword, he would definitely die, the two of them had to retreat quickly, but the force of the sword was too large, so Di Chen and Li You were unable to leave the range of the sword.


    But just at that moment, the God Chasing Sword suddenly exploded, directly blowing Mo Xie up, the sword turned into pieces that flew into Mo Xie''s body, his entire body was covered with wounds, and fresh blood gushed out.


    "What''s going on?" Mo Xie was shocked, he never thought that such a Spirit Sword would actually explode.


    Di Chen was also startled, he looked at the Spirit Sword that was blown into pieces and suddenly thought of what the old man had said. He said that the sword was something that the fated could not obtain, and he immediately understood that the Spirit Sword was not the sword that the Ten Thousand Swords Gate was about to use.


    "So it''s a fake sword," Li You also understood what was going on, and took the chance to strike Sword Martial Spirit while Mo Xie was heavily injured, this time Mo Xie was simply unable to dodge in time, with a swoosh, Sword Martial Spirit pierced through Mo Xie''s chest and brought him flying backwards.


    Mo Xie knew that he could not win against Di Chen and Li You, so he did not dare to stay behind.


    "Trying to run?" Li You tapped on the Sword Martial Spirit and the Sword Martial Spirit turned into a ray of rainbow that shot towards Mo Xie. With a chi sound, she saw through Mo Xie''s body and fresh blood gushed out from the wound.


    Mo Xie let out a blood-curdling scream, but the sword strike did not kill him. Mo Xie continued to escape while covering his wound.


    Di Chen quickly chased after Mo Xie and smashed his fist into his back. Mo Xie instantly felt a wave of heat enter every inch of his flesh and blood, and after that, his entire body turned into ashes, dispersing. He didn''t even have time to scream.


    Di Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. This Mo Xie was too strong, he never expected to be able to kill him, but luckily Mo Xie was injured by the fake sword.


    The Mo Family''s Five Generals were famous figures in Youzhou. After doing all sorts of evil deeds, no one thought that the five of them would die here. If news of this matter were to spread, it would definitely shock the entire Youzhou.


    Li You walked over, looked at the ashes on the ground and asked Di Chen, "Didn''t you say that you''re not a warrior?


    Earlier, Di Chen was the one who used the brute strength, but the punch just now had a burning sensation, it was clearly not the brute strength.


    Di Chen explained: "When I killed a demonic beast before, after I refined the demonic beast''s beast core, my strength released a flaming aura. This is not a cultivation technique, and it does not require elemental energy."


    Li You looked at Di Chen strangely: "I have never seen this kind of situation before, where the power of fire permeates through, why do you look like those fire attribute demonic beast, with your current strength, I''m afraid that your Third Level of the Martial King Realm can easily kill them."


    Di Chen pondered: "It''s impossible with just the brute strength, but I am a literati, it''s not difficult to kill a person with martial soul s'' triple stage after combining martial arts and culture."


    Li You couldn''t help but feel envious thinking about it. Although Di Chen didn''t know any techniques, the power of fire was currently revealed in his powers. His punch didn''t seem like a technique, but it was actually stronger than many techniques.


    Di Chen rummaged through Mo Xie''s corpse, but he did not find anything useful, only that the Blood-Drinking Sword was valuable, he kept the Sword Qi, thinking that it might be useful in the future.


    Li You thought for a while, then gave the other four Blood-Drinking Sword to Di Chen, and said: "These five Blood-Drinking Sword are a set of swords, when combined, they are extremely powerful, and you should take these too."


    Di Chen did not reject, and laughed: "Thank you, but look and see if they have anything else. If they have anything else you want, then take it."


    Li You said: "What are you thanking me for? If it wasn''t for you, I would have died a long time ago. Moreover, I had just found some medicinal pellets that were very useful to me on their corpses."


    The pills in Mo Family were all magic cores, and it was rather difficult to refine. Normally, one would not be able to buy such pills, but Li You''s trip here would not have been in vain.


    "Let''s leave this place first," Di Chen and Li You did not linger any further. The two walked out of the pavilion and then passed the plaza and saw the old man who was sweeping the floor.


    The old man had also noticed that Di Chen and Li You had both walked out. He was slightly surprised to see that the two were safe and sound.


    Di Chen walked to the old man and bowed: "Thank you, senior, for saving me."


    Li You''s face was full of confusion, and thought to himself, when did he save Di Chen?


    The old man chuckled, "This old man has only done his best. The reason you haven''t died is because you''re strong. Let''s go, that sword is something only a fated person can have. You''re not a fated person, so don''t come again."


    "Yes," Di Chen didn''t plan to come again, and once again clasped his hands in farewell to the old man, thinking to himself that the old man''s identity must definitely be extraordinary.


    The old man looked at Di Chen''s back calmly. Previously, he had indeed seen that Di Chen was going to face a great calamity and did Di Chen a small favor, but he didn''t think that Di Chen could actually kill that guardian beast and absorb that demonic beast''s beast''s beast core. The old man looked at Di Chen''s retreating figure calmly, and had indeed seen that Di Chen was going to meet a great calamity and gave him a small favor, but he didn''t expect that Di Chen could actually kill that guardian beast and also absorb that demonic beast''s beast core.


    Li You looked at the old man''s silhouette from afar, then suspiciously asked Di Chen: "When did this senior save you?"


    Di Chen explained: "Previously, didn''t this senior give me a sword? When I met a guardian beast in the pavilion, I used that sword to kill that divine beast. That sword was actually very ordinary, so I think this senior must have channeled his power into it to help me kill it."


    Li You suddenly realized something, and was curious why the old man and Di Chen were not close to each other, and wanted to save Di Chen?


    This series of events in the Ten Thousand Swords Gate caused Di Chen to feel strange. He asked, "Exactly who exterminated Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s clan that year?"


    Li You shook her head: "I don''t know either, some people said it''s related to our Famous Sword Academy, and I don''t know the specific reason either."


    Di Chen thought that the reason why this Ten Thousand Swords Gate was exterminated must be because of an even bigger conspiracy behind it.


    After separating, Bai Qian, Zi Yan and Di Chen had always been wandering around the outskirts of Ten Thousand Swords Gate. The inside of Ten Thousand Swords Gate was too dangerous, so the two of them didn''t dare to go in.


    The two of them had been searching the ground full of abandoned swords, but none of them had any spirit, Zi Yan had long given up on searching, and did not plan to truly find them.


    Somewhere in Ten Thousand Swords Gate.


    "Why hasn''t Di Chen come out even after going in for so long? Is he in danger?"


    Zi Yan was a little worried about Di Chen and said: "How about we go in and take a look?"


    Bai Qian laughed: "Di Chen is much stronger than the both of us, if he were to encounter danger, even if we have to enter, it would be useless."


    Zi Yan thought that this was true, with Di Chen''s cultivation level, even if he met with danger he would not be able to, and would instead bring him more trouble. Instead, it would be better to wait for him here, where the two of them decided to wait for Di Chen.


    "Hmm?" Just at this moment, Zi Yan suddenly sensed a fluctuation of Spiritual Energy at his side, she looked in the direction of the fluctuation of the Spiritual Energy, and noticed that there was a shining sword there, she curiously picked it up and looked, the sword was very ordinary, the sword''s body was covered with sawteeth, the sword''s edge was embroidered, but when Zi Yan held it in his hand, he could feel a burst of energy entering his body.


    Zi Yan was surprised: "Bai Qian, this sword is very strong."


    Bai Qian curiously took the sword, he did not feel that the sword had any spirit, and asked curiously: "This is just an ordinary sword."


    Zi Yan looked at Bai Qian with a strange expression on his face, and then, she caught the sword again, as his spirit energy flooded into the sword. The tip of the sword thrust forward, and a sword beam shot out.

 C163

    "So strong?" Bai Qian''s face was filled with surprise, he once again took the sword over, but he still did not feel how strong the sword was, he attempted to infuse his spirit force into the sword, the sword tip thrusted forward, and another Sword Qi shot out, but the Sword Qi was much weaker than the Sword Qi that Zi Yan shot out.


    Bai Qian was suspicious: "Why can''t I use the power of the sword?"


    Zi Yan suddenly thought of something, and said in pleasant surprise: Do you think that this is the sword that is about to appear in the Ten Thousand Swords Gate?


    Bai Qian said: "It can''t be, I heard that the sword was personally refined by the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, how can it be thrown here like a broken sword?"


    In Bai Qian''s opinion, the sword refined by the Ten Thousand Swords Gate should naturally be hidden in the inner parts of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, it would definitely not be placed here casually, and the sword''s material was only normal profound steel, there was nothing special about it, no matter how you looked at it, it did not seem to be refined by the Ten Thousand Swords Gate.


    Zi Yan laughed, she was determined on this idea, and kept the Spirit Sword, thinking that if he could not find an even better Spirit Sword, this sword could be used to refine into a Sword Martial Spirit, and its power would definitely not be weak.


    "This sword seems to be quite powerful," At this time, a playful voice suddenly came from the side. The one who spoke was Xiang Xuan, and beside him was Ying Zhi, while Xiang Zuo was not by his side.


    Zi Yan''s expression instantly turned cold as he coldly looked at Xuan, "What are you doing here?"


    He then chuckled to Xuan and said: "Just now, I sensed that there were some fluctuations in the Spiritual Energy and came here to take a look, I never expected to see that sword in your hand, it doesn''t seem to be weak, maybe it really is the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s sword that is about to appear, my luck is really not bad, I haven''t been able to find it in such a long time, but you all have helped me find it."


    How could Zi Yan not understand his meaning, and said angrily: "I was the one who found this sword."


    He said to Xuan, "Those with extraordinary talent will definitely be able to obtain it. Your cultivation is too weak. If you hold this sword, you will only be wasting it."


    Zi Yan said angrily: "So what if it''s a reckless use of heaven''s treasure? That''s still mine, hurry up and leave."


    Yingzi smiled and said, "I think what you said to Xuan is correct. You don''t deserve this sword at all with your cultivation. It''s better to hand it over to Xiangxuan since it''s just an insult."


    Her voice was very gentle when she spoke, but it had a tone that could not be objected to.


    "Zi Yan, ignore them, let''s go," Bai Qian said. He knew that the two of them were probably trying to steal the sword, and Zi Yan was an impulsive person, so he might clash with them, but how could he win against them?


    He stepped in front of the two men and said with a smile, "Why are you so afraid? If you give me the sword, I naturally will not harm you."


    "Don''t even think about it," Zi Yan could not hold it in any longer, and thrusted the sword towards Xuan.


    Xiang Xuan immediately used his Spirit Sword to welcome him. With a clang, he was pushed back a few steps, but Zi Yan did not move an inch.


    "What a powerful Spirit Sword," Xiang Xuan was surprised. He could tell that Zi Yan had not used his full strength just now, and he believed that Zi Yan was much weaker than him, but the fact that this sword could push him back meant that this sword was not ordinary, which made him even more excited.


    Zi Yan never thought that he would be so powerful while being so angry with his random attack, she was even more determined that the sword was not ordinary.


    He looked at Yingzhi and said: "Help me look after Bai Qian, I will go and snatch the sword."


    "Okay," Yingying''s gaze landed on Bai Qian. Although she had just broken through to the ninth stage of Life Seizing, he had the confidence to deal with him.


    Xuan''s elemental energy surged into the sword, and with a step towards Zi Yan, the Spirit Sword landed heavily on the ground.


    Zi Yan hastily went to meet Xiang Xuan, and as the two swords clashed, Xiang Xuan did not hold back his strength. Zi Yan only felt as if his arm was struck by a huge force, and as his arm went numb, his entire body flew backwards, heavily landing on the ground, while Xuan also took a few steps back.


    "Zi Yan," Bai Qian immediately rushed towards Zi Yan, wanting to save her.


    Just then, Yingzhi suddenly blocked Bai Qian''s path, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, I do not want to make things difficult for you, so I suggest that you wait by the side is better."


    Zi Yan and Bai Qian were close friends, how could Zi Yan have nothing to do with anything?


    Bai Qian pointed between his brows, and the Sword Martial Spirit shot straight towards Yingzhi.


    Two Spirit Sword collided, and with a clang, Bai Qian''s Sword Martial Spirit was pushed back, while the was still standing in the air.


    "You are not my opponent," Yingzi said with a smile. "I don''t want to hurt you right now, don''t force me to destroy your martial soul as well."


    How could Bai Qian care about all these, he continued to attack the Sword Martial Spirit.


    Ying Zhi shook her head with a disappointed expression, "You forced me to do this. Don''t blame me."


    As he said that, he controlled the Sword Martial Spirit to face Bai Qian''s Sword Martial Spirit. The two swords flew back and forth, clashing continuously in the air, releasing a clear metallic sound, but it was clear that they had the upper hand.


    "You guys are too much." Zi Yan was excited by the two words and he crazily slashed at Xuan with his sword.


    It sent Zi Yan flying once again, and this time, even the sword flew out of his hand as it landed on the ground.


    He tried to imbue the Spirit Sword s into the sword, but the sword still did not change. It was just that, why was Zi Yan able to unleash such a strong power just now, could it be that the sword was only suitable for her to use?


    He secretly wanted to go back and give it a try, but it wouldn''t be too late. He looked at Yingzhi and shouted, "Yingzi, come back."


    The luster of the sword caused Bai Qian''s Sword Martial Spirit to be pushed back, but he was still pushed back, and he asked: "How about this sword, can it be used to refine martial soul s?"


    He shook his head and said to Xuan: "This sword doesn''t seem to be different from the other abandoned swords. It doesn''t seem to be of much use to me, but it probably needs to be refined before it can be used. I''ll take it back and take a look first, then leave this place."


    The two of them did not pay any attention to Bai Qian and Zi Yan, holding onto their swords, they prepared to leave.


    Zi Yan was angered: "That sword is mine, return it back to me."


    He said to Xuan with a cold smile, "Zi Yan, I''ve already spared your life, and this is already considered righteous. If you continue to pester me like this, don''t blame me for being impolite."


    "I ¡­" Zi Yan still wanted to fight. This was a Spirit Sword that she had found with much difficulty, how could she be willing to give it up?


    Bai Qian pulled Zi Yan and said: "Forget it, let him take the sword."


    Although Zi Yan was unwilling, but she knew that the other party had already killed them, if he continued to persevere, both Bai Qian and himself would be killed, so after thinking for a while, he endured, and watched Xuan Zhi Ying leave.


    "This is too much," Zi Yan was so angry that tears almost flowed out of his eyes. It was not easy for her to find a Spirit Sword that could be sacrificed and refined into a martial soul.


    Bai Qian clenched his fists and said: "Let''s talk after Di Chen returns. There will be a day when we will make him return."


    After being robbed, the two Spirit Sword did not have the mood to look for other Spirit Sword, so they waited at their original location. After waiting for two days, Di Chen finally came out from the depths of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate.


    "Di Chen..." Upon seeing Di Chen, Bai Qian and Zi Yan were instantly overjoyed. They jogged over and said: "You''ve been gone for so long and I thought something had happened to you. It''s great that you''re fine."


    Di Chen said: "I''ve met with some trouble, but at least I was able to get away with it."


    "Oh, right." Zi Yan glanced at Li You, and said somewhat angrily: "Why are the two of you together?"


    Di Chen could tell that Zi Yan seemed to be somewhat hostile towards him, and he thought to himself that perhaps it was because of the actions of Li You, Xiang Zuo and the others earlier, so he smiled and explained, "The inner level is too dangerous.


    Although Di Chen did not believe in Li You, Li You was still a direct disciple. Since they were both students of the Famous Sword Academy, there was no reason for her to harm him in this kind of dangerous place.


    Li You also knew that both Zi Yan and Bai Qian were opposing him, and said: "I know that you two have grudges against each other, but Xiang Zuo and I are just on the same road, we can''t be considered friends."


    Hearing Li You''s explanation, Zi Yan''s hostility towards her finally decreased a little.


    Di Chen saw that Zi Yan and Bai Qian''s bodies were covered with wounds, and asked: How did you two get injured?


    When Zi Yan thought about the Spirit Sword that had been snatched away by Zhang Xuan, he became angry and said, "I had found a sword that had a spiritual nature, and in the end, I was snatched away by Zhang Xuan."


    Then, she explained the matter regarding the Spirit Sword.


    Di Chen and Li You were shocked when they heard it, they heard from Zi Yan that only Zi Yan could unleash its power, and even Bai Qian could not, because Di Chen suddenly thought of what the old man had said before, that the Spirit Sword that was about to appear in the Ten Thousand Swords Gate could only be obtained by fated people, so could it be that Zi Yan was fated person?


    However, the Spirit Sword should be hidden in a more secluded place, why would it be randomly piled in a pile of abandoned swords?


    Li You sighed: "Since only you can use this sword, then it means that you are someone fated to do so, I believe there is no point in snatching it back from Xiang Xuan."


    Zi Yan said angrily: "But he saw the power of that sword, even if it wasn''t for him, he wouldn''t have returned it to me."


    Di Chen laughed: "It''s fine, he can snatch it back."


    Bai Qian was worried: "That would be quicker, Bai Qian is such a narrow-minded person, I think if he knew that only Zi Yan can use this sword, he would definitely destroy this sword and he would not return it to us."


    Di Chen said: "Since this sword is not bad, then it is likely that Xiang Xuan will not be able to destroy it so easily. There is no need to be anxious, let us first go back and talk."


    Zi Yan thought that this was true, a sword that could even be destroyed by Xiang Xuan was obviously not some Spirit Sword.


    The reason why Di Chen allowed them to return was also because Di Chen had snatched five Blood-Drinking Sword s from the five generals of Mo Family. Although these five swords were inferior to the Spirit Sword that was about to appear, they were still not ordinary swords.


    They had already searched the Ten Thousand Swords Gate for a few days, but to no avail. They no longer had the intention to stay, and returned to the Academy.

 C164

    Outside the academy.


    "Di Chen, I''ll be leaving first. We''ll be working together happily this time. I hope we can cultivate together in the future."


    Di Chen had a good impression of Di Chen ever since he saw that Di Chen had killed the Mo Family''s Five Generals, so it was actually normal. Di Chen could be considered to be a dual practitioner of martial arts and literature, and a scholar''s techniques were very powerful, and a warrior''s strength was not weak either.


    Di Chen smiled, "Alright."


    Although it looked like it was agreed on the surface, in reality, Di Chen did not want to cultivate with Li You. He always felt that this Li You was in danger.


    How could Li You not see through Di Chen''s thoughts? Without further ado, he turned and left.


    "Be careful of An Yang, she''s not a good person," At this time, Li You sent a sound transmission to Di Chen, and did not say it out loud.


    Di Chen was startled, he looked suspiciously at Li You''s back, he was not familiar with the direct disciples, and did not know why Li You suddenly mentioned An Yang, did she know that he had interacted with his before?


    Bai Qian noticed that Di Chen seemed a little strange and asked suspiciously: "Di Chen, what''s wrong?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "It''s nothing, I just feel that this Li You is a bit unfathomable."


    Bai Qian reminded him: "This Li You comes and goes mysteriously, she is definitely a dangerous person. Di Chen, you have to be careful."


    Di Chen thought that it would be better not to interact with Li You too much in the future. This girl was simply too mysterious.


    "Let''s go, I have something to give you," Di Chen said, and then he returned to the room with Bai Qian and Zi Yan.


    Previously, Di Chen had killed five generals of the Mo Family and snatched away their blood swords, but there were a total of five swords, each of them being extremely powerful. Di Chen did not know how to use a sword, Liu Jingjing was not good at using swords, and Lin Tao also had a Tyrant Profound sword that suited him.


    Di Chen took out the five Ginkou Swords and gave them to Zi Yan: "These are what I snatched from a few demon cultivators earlier, they are not ordinary Spirit Sword, you might be able to use them to cultivate your martial soul."


    Zi Yan curiously picked up a Blood-Drinking Sword s, the sword released a large amount of demonic Qi, even when holding it, Zi Yan could feel the demonic Qi entering her body, this demonic Qi seemed to be able to devour her body, causing her to quickly throw the sword away.


    "What a terrifying sword," Zi Yan said with a pale face. "Di Chen, just which devil does this sword actually belong to?


    When Di Chen picked it up, he did not have this kind of feeling. He thought that it was because Zi Yan''s cultivation was too weak, and explained: "This is the Blood-Drinking Sword of the five generals of Mo Family. The Evil Qi is indeed very strong."


    "Five generals of the Mo Family?" Bai Qian cried out in alarm: "They are the famous Devil Dao in the Spirit Serpent Region, they have killed people without a name, they are notorious for their infamy, could it be that the Devil Dao you killed was them?"


    Many of the direct disciples of the Famous Sword Academy knew that they were inferior to the Mo Family. Bai Qian could not imagine that such terrifying people like the five generals would actually die in Di Chen''s hands.


    Di Chen said as he gave a wry smile, "Killing them isn''t something that I can do alone. It''s something that Senior Sister Li You and I killed together, and it''s also because they were careless that they were killed by us."


    Bai Qian thought that although Li You was powerful, she alone would not be able to kill them. In other words, Di Chen played a very important role in it.


    Bai Qian said in admiration: "Even with the help of Senior Sister Li You, it is still impressive, but the five of them are demons, and the Sword Demon Qi is too strong, Zi Yan is too weak, I am afraid he cannot cultivate this Blood-Drinking Sword to Sword Martial Spirit."


    Di Chen had already thought of the problem before, with Zi Yan''s cultivation, if he refined it forcefully, it would instead be devoured by the sword, he thought for a moment and said: This Sword Evil Qi is truly too heavy, Zi Yan cannot endure it, if I can remove the sword''s Evil Qi, it would be perfect.


    Bai Qian laughed bitterly: "But how could the Evil Qi be so easy to expel from the sword, unless it''s those kind of powerful flames or lightning attacks."


    Fire and thunder were the easiest ways to dispel Evil Qi. After all, fire and lightning were suppressing Evil Qi, and the two of them were reminding Di Chen that his martial soul was lightning, so she should be able to dispel this Evil Qi.


    "I have a way," Di Chen laughed, kept the five bottles of sword blood, and said: "I''ll go find Jingjing, Zi Yan, you go cultivate first, and increase your strength as much as possible. You''ll definitely be able to refine this Blood-Drinking Sword."


    Zi Yan nodded, he actually also wanted to refine the Blood-Drinking Sword into his martial soul, if she succeeded, her cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds, and at that time, even some of his direct disciples would not be able to compare to Di Chen.


    After Di Chen left the room, he went to the direct disciple area.


    "Di Chen," Liu Jingjing hadn''t seen Di Chen for a long time, and she was pleasantly surprised. "Why are you here?"


    Since Liu Jingjing had followed her to the Famous Sword Academy, she had changed a lot. She used to be a cold and aloof lady who didn''t like being close to outsiders, but now she seemed lively and cheerful.


    Di Chen laughed: I haven''t seen you in a long time, I wonder how your cultivation is, that''s why I''m here to see you.


    Liu Jingjing held Di Chen''s arm and laughed: "Really, I already broke through to the first level of the Martial King realm two days ago. I think that I will soon break through to the double stage of the Martial King."


    Di Chen took the Blood-Drinking Sword out and handed it over to Liu Jingjing: "Actually, there''s another reason why I came to find you this time. I want you to use your electric martial soul to expel the evil aura from this Blood-Drinking Sword."


    Liu Jingjing rolled her eyes at Di Chen when she heard this, and said: "I knew you must have come for a purpose."


    Although her mouth was unhappy, she still took over the Blood-Drinking Sword and sat cross-legged on the ground. Lightning leaked out of her forehead and struck the Blood-Drinking Sword, causing it to release a bit of black gas s, which were Evil Qi, however, the Evil Qi was too dense, and it took Liu Jingjing more than 10 minutes to completely remove the Evil Qi from the Blood-Drinking Sword.


    "This sword is so powerful, where did you get it from?" Liu Jingjing exclaimed, just expending a lot of her elemental energy to remove the evil Qi from the sword.


    Di Chen explained: "Previously, when I went to the old location of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, I met with the Mo Family''s Five Generals.


    "Five generals of the Mo Family?" Liu Jingjing cried out in surprise. She knew about the five of them and said worriedly: "This Mo Family is a very mysterious Devil Dao family, Di Chen, you killed those five people, they will definitely not let this go, you must be careful, I heard that even our Famous Sword Academy has people from the Mo Family."


    It was said that someone from the Mo Family had entered the Famous Sword Academy. It was just a rumor and she had never seen the identity of the person from the Mo Family before. Perhaps this person did not exist, or perhaps he was just hiding her identity.


    Di Chen had also heard of this person before, and laughed: "It''s alright, I''ll be more careful in the future."


    Liu Jingjing continued to shoot the lightning into the remaining Blood-Drinking Sword s. Two hours later, Liu Jingjing finally managed to eliminate all of the evil qi that was drinking the sword, it was just that the strength of the Blood-Drinking Sword that lost its Evil Qi was obviously much weaker than before.


    Di Chen held the Blood-Drinking Sword and looked at it: "Although the power of every Blood-Drinking Sword is weaker, the combined power of all five is still very strong. Zi Yan should still be able to cultivate the martial soul now."


    Only then did Liu Jingjing realize that Di Chen''s swords were originally meant for him, but thinking about it, it was understandable. Di Chen was not good with swords, so he decided to give them to Zi Yan instead.


    "Since the Blood-Drinking Sword has dispelled the Evil Qi, it is not like a normal sword. Can she cultivate it to become a martial soul?"


    Liu Jingjing doubted: "After all, her strength is too weak."


    Di Chen was not confident either, thinking that no matter what, giving her these five swords would increase her strength, at least in the future, when he met people like Xiang Xuan, he would have the strength to fight.


    "Yi, this sword doesn''t seem too bad." At this moment, a playful voice came from the side.


    Di Chen turned his head and saw that it was Xuan, Yingzi and Xiang Zuo. They were staring straight at the Blood-Drinking Sword in Di Chen''s hands, revealing their greed.


    "He''s also a direct disciple?" Di Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, this was something that he did not expect.


    Liu Jingjing saw that Di Chen had some doubts, and explained, "He is the disciple that Teacher Nian Bai has taken in high school, and he is Xiang Zuo''s little brother. His strength is not bad."


    Di Chen was secretly surprised. Someone who could be chosen by Niu Bai was enough to show his astonishing innate talent, no wonder he was so arrogant.


    "I never thought that you would actually appear here. It seems that you are also a direct disciple." Although Di Chen had defeated Zuo Qing, the Clear Water Academy, he still looked down on Di Chen, because he was a direct disciple, and this was the pride of a direct disciple. He was confident that as a direct disciple, he would be able to surpass Di Chen sooner or later.


    He looked at Xiang Zuo and asked: "Brother, who is his teacher?"


    Xiang Zuo said calmly: "He was brought here by Teacher Dongfang Yue. He does not have a teacher, but he has the treatment of a direct disciple."


    "Hmm?" Xiang Xuan was a little doubtful, but thinking about it, he could understand. Di Chen was a literati, so there was no one in the academy who could teach him.


    He nodded thoughtfully at Di Chen and said with even more interest: "When I break through Martial King Realm, I would like to challenge him and see if he can display his strength."


    Xiang Xuan''s gaze turned to Di Chen and said: "Those few swords look pretty good, how about giving them to me?"


    Liu Jingjing could tell that Xiang Xuan was trying to steal something, and his face darkened: "Who are you, trying to steal our things?"


    He said coldly to Xuan, "Then who are you to dare act so arrogantly in front of my big brother?"


    He had previously seen Liu Jingjing defeat Xiang Xue, but he still did not think that Liu Jingjing was powerful, and did not put him in her eyes at all. Furthermore, with Xiang Zuo here, he had always viewed his big brother as his idol, and even more so unscrupulous.


    As Liu Jingjing listened to Xuan''s words, his spirit energy slowly flowed out. It seemed as if he was ready to kill.


    Di Chen grabbed Liu Jingjing and shook her head slightly, signalling to her not to be reckless. Then he smiled and said: "You want these five swords, right?

 C165

    Xiang Xuan was not afraid at all, he was actually walking towards Di Chen. At this moment, Xiang Zuo pulled him back and said: "This guy is very dangerous, don''t go over there."


    He said to Xuan, "Big brother, I still don''t believe that this guy would still dare to play tricks. If he dares to touch me, then kill him for me."


    was truly unbridled towards Xuan, as he spoke, he once again walked towards Di Chen. Xiang Zuo was unable to stop him even if he wanted to, and walked to Di Chen and grabbed towards the five swords, but right at this moment, his body suddenly froze, as if he was trapped by an invisible force, he suddenly remembered that Di Chen had used this technique before when he defeated the Clear Water Academy, it was his first time experiencing it personally, it was powerful indeed.


    "Di Chen," he coldly glared at Xuan and said, "What are you doing, my big brother is here. If you dare to mess around, don''t blame my big brother for being impolite."


    Di Chen laughed: "I would like to know why your brother is so rude."


    Liu Jingjing also taunted: "Your elder brother had been miserably defeated by Di Chen earlier, this is something that all the direct disciples have witnessed. Do you think he would still dare to deal with Di Chen?"


    "What?" He had always regarded his big brother as the strongest person, so how could he lose to Di Chen?


    He shouted at Xuan in disbelief, "Nonsense, my big brother won''t lose. Big brother, hurry up and kill them so they won''t slander your reputation."


    Xiang Zuo remained silent as he coldly looked at Di Chen and Liu Jingjing.


    Seeing that Xiang Zuo could faintly detect something without explaining, he suddenly felt a sense of hope being shattered, and said in shock: "Big Brother, could it be that you were actually defeated by Di Chen before?"


    Xiang Zuo did not answer Xiang Xuan. Instead, he looked at Di Chen and said: "Di Chen, I have been defeated by you before, but now I have broken through to the Martial King level, and you are still at the first level of the scholar realm. The current you cannot defeat me, so I advise you to release Xiang Xuan."


    He thought for a moment, then looked at Liu Jingjing and said: "Direct disciples have the rules of a traditional pro-disciple, this is what Dongfang Xiu said personally. This matter has nothing to do with you, I hope you won''t meddle in it."


    Xiang Zuo often met Liu Jingjing and knew of his abilities. Honestly speaking, even though he had been defeated by Di Chen before, he had never put Chen Cheng in his eyes. He was only very wary of Liu Jingjing.


    How could Liu Jingjing not understand what Xiang Zuo was thinking? She glanced at Di Chen, who smiled and indicated that he was alright, and retreated. Of course, she would not believe that Xiang Zuo could still win against Di Chen.


    Xiang Zuo saw that Di Chen had retreated and heaved a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to Di Chen, and said playfully: "The last time I was defeated by you, I was not convinced at all, I bitterly cultivated. Now that I have finally broken through to the Martial King realm, do you really think that you can still beat me?"


    Di Chen laughed and said: "The last time I broke your hand was just a lesson, I didn''t expect you to not absorb it, and forget about it so quickly.


    When Xiang Xuan saw that Di Chen actually looked down on his big brother, he was instantly enraged and said: "What an arrogant fellow. Big brother, hurry up and kill him."


    Xiang Zuo remained silent and leaped, then he punched fiercely at Di Chen, the shadow of a huge fist in his fist struck at Di Chen, it was obvious that his strength had improved a lot this time.


    "Di Chen, I want to see how you''re going to block this punch. You think you can compete with my big brother? You''re simply courting death."


    Di Chen smiled, "You really don''t have a memory, even my Spear Arts could not withstand this strike."


    As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper with the word ''spear'' written on it. The power of a scholar poured into the piece of paper and a long spear flew out to meet the incoming fist shadow.


    Bang!


    The long spear collided with the fist shadow, and the fist shadow and the long spear both collapsed. Ripples spread out in all directions, and the power of the two techniques seemed to be about the same.


    "He can actually block the Extreme Huang Fist?" was slightly startled, last time he was defeated by Di Chen''s Spear Arts, so during this period of time, he had been constantly searching for a cultivation technique to block it. After seeing the Earth Emperor''s Extreme Fist, he immediately decided to cultivate it, but he did not expect that the power of the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary was also only at the same level as Di Chen''s Spear Arts, which was completely unable to harm him.


    Di Chen taunted: "Your confidence comes from this Absolute Monarch Sanctuary?"


    Xiang Zuo snorted, "I am confident that I can defeat you not only because of this Absolute Monarch Fist, but also because I want to see if you can receive my next attack."


    With that, he took out a handful of Spirit Sword s, and with a strange flick, he pointed the sword tip forward, and a ray of Sword Qi shot towards Di Chen.


    "Clear Wind Sword Technique." Liu Jingjing immediately reminded him: "Remind me, this sword technique is very powerful, do not be careless."


    Previously, Liu Jingjing did not even remind Di Chen to be careful when he was displaying the Imperial Extreme Fist, but now she suddenly reminded Di Chen, who would have thought that even Liu Jingjing thought that the sword art was powerful.


    "I never thought that big brother would actually learn this kind of sword technique. Di Chen, let''s see if you will still die this time or not."


    Earlier, when Di Chen blocked Xiang Zuo''s Empyrean Terminus Fist, Xiang Xuan was still unconvinced, but now that he saw Xiang Zuo execute the Clear Wind Sword Art, his face was filled with excitement. This sword art was possibly one of the ten great sword arts of Famous Sword Academy, and was exceptionally hard to cultivate.


    Di Chen did not dare to be careless, he immediately retracted his power and punched the Sword Qi.


    "He actually wants to use the brute strength to fight me head on?" Xiang Zuo was a literati, so naturally, he would use the most powerful scholar technique. However, did he really want to use the brute strength to block the sword art?


    was surprised by this scene, but she believed that Di Chen would not use his life to risk it. Previously, Di Chen had also used the brute strength to forcefully break other people''s cultivation technique.


    Di Chen''s fist struck the Sword Qi, and when the two clashed, there was a loud sound as ripples spread out between the Sword Qi and Di Chen. The two swords''s power seemed to be similar, but the Sword Qi actually started to dissipate from the tip of the sword, and eventually turned into a Qi.


    "What?" Xiang Zuo and the rest were all surprised, Di Chen had actually relied on the brute strength to destroy their Sword Qi?


    Di Chen''s strength was so strong! This meant that his warrior''s strength had already surpassed his cultivation level of a scholar.


    Di Chen waved his hand, and laughed: "I''m still not used to this power yet."


    After consuming that beast core, Di Chen''s body had a burst of flame power. His every fist contained fire power, but Di Chen was after all, just an ordinary person and could not use it proficiently.


    "I took such a long time to learn the Clear Wind Sword Technique, how could you possibly resist?" Xiang Zuo angrily roared, but when he saw Di Chen''s relaxed expression, he did not dare believe it.


    Di Chen laughed, he took a step forward, then waved his hand, gently slamming onto the Sword Qi, causing it to dissipate. This time, Di Chen''s power was controlled very well, dispersing the Sword Qi was very easy.


    "This ¡­" This time, even if Xiang Zuo wanted to, he couldn''t take it. The Clear Wind Sword Technique was unable to withstand a single blow from Di Chen.


    In the next moment, Di Chen dashed in front of Xiang Zuo and said: "I''ve said it before, I''ll cripple you once again. I''ll keep my word."


    After saying that, Di Chen grabbed Xiang Zuo''s hand and pulled forcefully, causing a piece of ash to scatter. Xiang Zuo did not even feel pain, when he turned back again, he saw that his arm was already gone.


    "Di Chen, I''ll kill you," Xiang Zuo''s arm, which had finally been healed by the pills, was now broken by Di Chen. How could he accept this?


    Di Chen squinted his eyes and said: "You better think carefully, this time it''s not as simple as ripping off your arm."


    As the cold words floated into Xiang Zuo''s ears, Xiang Zuo felt his body turn cold, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks. This time, he finally calmed down, and fearfully retreated with a face full of lingering fear.


    "Big Brother," he muttered to Xuan, his face pale as if he had received a heavy blow. Was his big brother really not a match for Di Chen?


    Yingzi calmed down faster than Xuan. She ran to Xiang Zuo''s side and asked worriedly: "Brother Xiang Zuo, are you alright?"


    Xiang Zuo held onto his severed arm and gritted his teeth: "I''m fine, I only lost an arm. Eat a Great Recovery Pill and I can recover."


    Although he could recover, the price of a Great Recovery Pill was not cheap. Silver was very important to martial artists, and spending too much money to recover wasn''t good for one''s cultivation.


    Di Chen then looked at Xuan Xiao: "I want to give you the sword, but you don''t have the ability to hold it, you can''t blame me for that."


    "You ¡­" He was so angry that he couldn''t even speak, how could he have imagined that Di Chen was this powerful?


    Di Chen continued: "You can return the sword you snatched from Zi Yan to me now, right?"


    Xiang Xuan looked at Di Chen with an unconvinced expression. Even though he was unable to refine the sword, he did not want to return it to Zi Yan.


    Ying Ying was worried that Di Chen would kill his, and immediately advised: "Xiang Xuan, give it back to them."


    He gritted his teeth and took out his sword.


    "Di Chen, Xiang Zuo, Jingjing." At this point of time, Di Chen walked over and frowned: "What are you all doing?"


    When Xiang Zuo saw the scenery, he immediately acted like he saw his lifesaver, and said: "Senior Jing Shi, this Di Chen wants to snatch our things, if I do not agree, he will injure me."


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows, he never thought that Xiang Zuo would actually tell the truth first. Previously, he had admired Xiang Zuo''s strength a little, but now, he was completely looking down on him.


    Jing Xi was also a smart person, how could he not know the reason? He then looked at Di Chen and asked: "Just what happened?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Senior Brother Xiang Zuo broke through the Martial King level, and wanted to use me to practice, but Senior Brother Xiang Zuo is too strong, I could only do my best, I did not expect to accidentally break Senior Brother Xiang Zuo''s hand."


    Jing Xi smiled and said, "So it was just a competition. Since you have passed the competition, then forget it."


    Di Chen said: "The competition is already over, I do not plan to fight with Senior Brother Xiang Zuo anymore. It''s just that I want to take back the Spirit Sword that Junior Brother Xuan stole from Zi Yan."


    "Rubbish," Xuan Yun immediately retorted: "I picked up this sword first, it''s just that Zi Yan wanted to steal it. Senior Brother Jing Xi, don''t listen to him."

 C166

    Yingzi shook her head and tried to take over the sword when she wanted to borrow it from Xuan. However, Jing wasn''t stupid, so she could guess the reason why.


    He did not have any evidence to prove that the sword was stolen from Zi Yan, so he could not force Xiang Xuan to return the sword to Di Chen, so he did not know what to do.


    Di Chen knew that he was in a difficult situation, so he said: "How about this, let''s make a bet, you and Zi Yan will compete, if you win I will hand over the five swords in my hands to you, if you lose, you return the swords to me, what do you say?"


    Xiang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this. "Alright, I''ll listen to you."


    He originally thought that this sword would be taken away by Di Chen, but he never expected that Di Chen would make such a request. He never thought that Zi Yan would be able to defeat him, so of course he readily agreed.


    Di Chen laughed: "Then it''s settled, after ten days, you will compete in front of everyone in the academy, if you go back on your words, or lose, that sword will be ours."


    She was simply no match for me, I never thought that you would make such a foolish request. I will make you regret your actions in ten days, and today, I will take revenge for hurting my big brother. "


    Di Chen looked at him playfully, he was too lazy to argue with him, turned and walked away, Liu Jingjing followed along, and after thinking about it for a bit, he also chased after Di Chen.


    "This Di Chen is not a fool, he will let you fight with Zi Yan with confidence. Xiang Xuan, you really shouldn''t have agreed to him."


    You are not unaware of Zi Yan''s strength. Even his martial soul was destroyed by me, do you think that she can surpass me in ten days? "


    Zi Yan''s Inherent Skill was very bad, and the martial soul was destroyed, so even if he cultivated the martial soul again, he wouldn''t be too strong.


    If it was only that simple, perhaps she would not worry, but after seeing Di Chen''s power, she was sure that he would not do such a foolish thing, Di Chen must be confident, but now that both sides had agreed to battle, she could only pray that Di Chen was acting.


    "Let''s go," Xiang Zuo stared at Di Chen''s back fiercely. He did not care about the battle between Xuan and Zi Yan, he only hated that he lost a hand to Di Chen today.


    "Di Chen, I am truly sorry, the two brothers Xiang Zuo and Yue Shan have always been unreasonable, I can''t do anything to the two of them."


    How could he not understand what had happened? He could only not let Di Chen snatch away the announced Spirit Sword.


    Di Chen laughed: "It''s alright, after all, he will lose the match with Zi Yan."


    She didn''t have much impression of Zi Yan, but she could tell that Di Chen seemed to have a lot of confidence in her, hence she couldn''t help but be a little curious.


    Liu Jingjing said worriedly: "But Zi Yan''s talent is really average, and his martial soul was destroyed. You and Xiang Xuan had only agreed to it for ten days, and even if he were to cultivate his martial soul again in the next ten days, he won''t be too strong. How can Zi Yan defeat Xiang Xuan, Di Chen, you really shouldn''t have promised him."


    Di Chen shook the Blood-Drinking Sword in his hand: "It''s just that Zi Yan is able to turn the Blood-Drinking Sword Sacrifice into a martial soul and defeat him."


    "Blood-Drinking Sword?" When Jing Xi heard the name of the sword, he was immediately surprised: "Isn''t this the Spirit Sword of the five generals of Mo Family? Why is it in you?"


    Di Chen casually said: "Earlier, when we met them at the old location of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, we clashed with them and Senior Sister Li You and I jointly killed them and snatched away these five Blood-Drinking Sword s."


    The Mo Family''s Five Generals had killed many people and gained a lot of strength. Although they were no match for the current situation, the power of the Mo Family was great, and yet they had died at the hands of Di Chen?


    It was a little scary just thinking about it, and he reminded them: "Di Chen, if Mo Family knew that you killed these five people, he would definitely not let you off.


    The Mo Family was a large clan and naturally, it was not just the five generals. There were many people in the Mo Family who were even more mysterious, walking around the outside world often, but wouldn''t appear as Mo Family. If they found out that Di Chen had killed the five generals, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Di Chen said indifferently: "Anyway, we have already killed them, we will deal with them as we can, we will deal with them as we please."


    After seeing that Di Chen was not afraid in the slightest, he did not say anymore. "Just be a bit more careful, I still have some things to do, so I''ll be leaving first."


    After that, he bid farewell to Di Chen and left. He and Di Chen did not interact much on the streets, and did not stay for long.


    Liu Jingjing calmly looked at the scenery and waited for him to walk far away before saying, "I don''t like this person."


    Di Chen asked with doubt: "Why?"


    Liu Jingjing said with a solemn face: "Don''t think that he is very fair and just, but he is very strong. If you do not give him face, or go against his intentions, he will not let you off."


    How could Di Chen not understand what Liu Jingjing was saying? Taking the things that happened just now as an example, originally, Di Chen did not need to allow Zi Yan to fight with Xiang Xuan, he could have just directly snatched the sword away, but Di Chen did not do so, because Jing Xian did not agree to it.


    Di Chen secretly thought that in the future, the most careful thing to do would still be at this time. Di Chen was not a person who would be controlled, but at that time, he was someone who liked to control others and was strong.


    "I''ve already gotten Jingjing to remove the evil aura from the Blood-Drinking Sword, see if it can be used again."


    When Di Chen returned, he found Zi Yan and Bai Qian and passed the five Blood-Drinking Sword to Zi Yan.


    Zi Yan picked up a sword, and this time, he was not affected by the Evil Qi the way he was before, she said: "Although the Evil Qi is gone, but I feel like the sword is weaker than before."


    Liu Jingjing explained: "The reason why this Blood-Drinking Sword is so powerful is mainly because of the dense Evil Qi, which naturally weakened after I drove it away, and also because of my lightning which had lost the spirit of the sword, but together, the five swords are still very strong."


    Zi Yan thought that although the sword was weaker than before, it was still incomparable to ordinary things, capable of greatly raising her cultivation.


    Bai Qian had a face of doubt: "Di Chen, but Zi Yan can''t possibly use all five swords at the same time, giving her these five swords would be a waste."


    Zi Yan was unhappy, but he did not refute him. She really did not have the ability to control five swords.


    Di Chen knew that they had misunderstood his intentions, and explained: "Zi Yan, this sword is used to refine a martial soul for you."


    Zi Yan cried out: "But the power of this sword is too strong, with my capabilities, I am afraid I cannot refine it into a martial soul."


    Di Chen laughed and said: "No, you can give it a try. Don''t worry, I believe you can do it."


    Zi Yan was still a little suspicious, but seeing that Di Chen was so passionate, she did not reject him, but still nodded in the end.


    Di Chen then suggested: "However, once this sword is refined into a martial soul, its spiritual nature will slowly disappear. It''s best if you succeed in refining it within two days, otherwise, it would be a waste."


    Zi Yan started to retreat after hearing this. He thought to himself that whether he could refine this Blood-Drinking Sword into a martial soul would be a problem, so how could he finish it again. However, he didn''t want to disappoint Di Chen, so she nodded in the end.


    Bai Qian did not stay for long, as he still needed''s help in refining the martial soul.


    Liu Jingjing and the other two left before looking at Di Chen and asking: "Zi Yan''s talent is average, do you think she can refine the Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul like that in two days?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "Actually, I''m not sure either, but I think the chances of success are high."


    Normally, martial soul did not need too much time to cultivate, only that the Blood Sacrifice was not something ordinary. Di Chen did not have much confidence in Zi Yan.


    "Why didn''t you tell Zi Yan about the fight with Xu Xuan?" Liu Jingjing thought that Zi Yan''s Inherent Skill was lacking, if she did not hurry, she would lose to Zhang Xuan in ten days.


    Di Chen said: "You can''t have too much pressure while refining the martial soul, otherwise it''s easier to fail, wait for her to successfully refine it first."


    This was also why Di Chen wanted Zi Yan to have the Blood-Drinking Sword s to be sacrificed and refined into martial soul s in two days. He hoped that Zi Yan would be able to refine all five swords into martial soul s, and with one sword in two days, it would take ten days to finish refining.


    "Di Chen..." At this moment, a woman''s voice came from outside.


    Di Chen remembered the voice. This was Qin Er, and he had gone to the mountain to cultivate with him.


    "Qin Er," Di Chen laughed, "Why are you here?"


    When Qin Er saw that Liu Jingjing was also in her room, she was also stunned for a moment, before she smiled and said: "I''ve just finished cultivating, I would like to ask you to give me some pointers."


    Di Chen noticed that although Qin Er was still at the first stage of the Martial King Realm, there was an enormous amount of energy in her body. He said: "After you refined the Heaven''s Spirit Pill, your strength increased quite a bit.


    Di Chen did not know much about the Yue Clan Nine Swords either, but hearing that the sword technique was by no means simple, it was even better than the Famous Sword Academy''s ten Great Sword Techniques.


    Qin Er said, "I just learned the first sword technique, and have not tested its might. I think we should go train together when we have time."


    Ever since he had saved Qin Er''s life, she had had a very good impression of him. However, this made Di Chen a little uncomfortable, so when he looked at Liu Jingjing, he realized that Liu Jingjing was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, and knew that Liu Jingjing must have misunderstood.


    "Alright," Di Chen did not reject, and casually replied.


    "Di Chen, come out here," Right at this moment, a roar came from outside.


    Di Chen remembered that the voice belonged to Kui Shan. He had not seen Kui Shan since Di Chen returned from mountain and heard that he had been cultivating the entire time.


    "It''s him again," Qin Er''s face turned cold, she became angry just thinking about how Kui Shan had used her to bait him. Today, she had learnt the Yue Girl''s Nine Swords and suddenly had the urge to take revenge.

 C167

    Liu Jingjing had also heard about the matters regarding the mountain from Di Chen before, and laughed: "Looks like it''s because Kui Shan has finished cultivating and wants to take revenge on you."


    Di Chen thought that those red fog fruit could at least help Kui Shan cultivate to the fourth stage of the Martial King Realm, but it was impossible for him to cultivate so quickly. At most, he could only cultivate Third Level of the Martial King Realm.


    Di Chen and Liu Jingjing still walked out of the room together. Seeing that Kui Shan and Ji Yun were both standing outside, Di Chen had an aggressive look on his face.


    Just as Di Chen had thought, the two of them probably wanted revenge too much. They had come to find Di Chen before they had even reached the fourth level of the Martial King realm.


    Di Chen laughed: So it''s Senior Brother Kui Shan and Senior Brother Ji Yun. Why did the two of you suddenly come to find me?


    Kui Shan saw that Qin Er was also here, and said angrily: "I didn''t expect you to be here. It just so happens that Di Chen, Qin Er, you guys stole our red fog fruit from the mountain, you should give us an explanation for this, right?"


    Di Chen asked: "I wonder what kind of explanation Senior Brother Kui Shan would like?"


    Qin Er was still a little angry when she thought about how Kui Shan had taken advantage of him. "You nearly caused our deaths, we have already done our best to spare your lives. What else do you want?"


    Ji Yun might not be able to defeat Di Chen, but he was not afraid of Qin Er at all. What Qin Er said to them sounded like a fox trying to show off its might, and he snorted: "Who are you, if not for Di Chen, you would have died long ago."


    Qin Er was too lazy to argue with them, she looked at Di Chen and said: "Let''s go, do not bother with them."


    Di Chen could tell that Kui Shan and Ji Yun were not going to give up, and laughed: "I reckon that they won''t just let it go like this. Since you two want to take revenge, then I''ll give you two this chance.


    Ji Yun laughed proudly. He had already broken through the Third Level of the Martial King Realm so he believed that he had the ability to defeat Di Chen.


    They immediately went to the Martial Arts Practice Grounds where most of the battles in Famous Sword Academy would be conducted.


    After entering the training grounds, many people looked over, Di Chen who had defeated Clear Water Academy before had a bit of a reputation in the Famous Sword Academy, so his battle was still very attractive.


    "This must be Di Chen, I heard that he has broken through the King Wen, could it be that he wants to challenge Kui Shan?"


    "Kui Shan seems to have broken through her Third Level of the Martial King Realm. How is she so fast?"


    "The first stage of King Wen is still a bit worse than his Third Level of the Martial King Realm. It''s impossible for Di Chen to cross two small realms to fight. It seems that he will definitely lose this time."


    The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion.


    Not far away, Dongfang Yue seemed to be looking at them, he wanted to see how much Di Chen''s cultivation had improved.


    Kui Shan immediately jumped up onto the stage and shouted: "Di Chen, whether it is life and death on the stage, you dare to ask?"


    Di Chen originally only wanted to teach Kui Shan a lesson, he never thought that Kui Shan would actually have thoughts of killing him!


    Di Chen did not reply him, but looked at Qin Er and asked, "Do you have the ability to defeat him?"


    Qin Er hesitated for a while, but still nodded her head. Although her strength had increased a lot after consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pill, Kui Shan was still a Third Level of the Martial King Realm, so Qin Er was not confident.


    Di Chen said: "Then go, don''t hurt his life, if you have the chance you can destroy his martial soul."


    Qin Er replied as she walked up the stage. From what she could hear, Di Chen seemed to have a lot of trust in Qin Er.


    "Not Di Chen? Can this Qin Er even beat up Kui Shan? "


    Everyone originally thought that Di Chen was on stage, but they didn''t think that it was Qin Er. This Qin Er wasn''t very famous in the Famous Sword Academy, and was a very ordinary disciple.


    Kui Shan looked at Qin Er who was on stage instead of Di Chen, and frowned: "Di Chen, what is the meaning of this? Can it be that you don''t dare to compete with me, and want her to die?"


    Last time, he had personally felt the power of Qin Er''s fist. Kui Shan Realm had indeed risen, but his strength had actually not increased by much.


    Ji Yun shouted. "Kui Shan, why are you wasting so much time with them, it''s better that this Qin Er is willing to come up to her death. First, cripple her martial soul."


    Kui Shan had a cold smile on her face, he obviously did not believe that Qin Er could defeat him. He took a step towards Qin Er, and boundless spirit energy gushed into her fist, as though her strength could be seen with the naked eye.


    "What a powerful force." Seeing Kui Shan''s punch, everyone was surprised. Even if they were too close, they would still be affected by the force.


    Di Chen thought that Kui Shan was indeed powerful, but after thinking about it, it was normal. He was a barbarian race of the north, so she was naturally strong, but Qin Er was not weak either.


    Qin Er took a step forward to Kui Shan, and also punched at Kui Shan at the same time. Both her fists collided with a loud bang, and then there was a crunching sound as Kui Shan''s arm bent, and even her bones were broken.


    "Ah ¡­" A heart-wrenching scream rang out. With an expression of disbelief, Kui Shan said, "You''re only at the first level of the Martial King realm. How could you be so strong?"


    This scene shocked everyone in the audience. The fight between the two of them was actually a loss to Kui Shan?


    Could a girl actually possess such great power?


    Qin Er endured the pain without saying a word, and continued to rush towards Kui Shan, once again smashing towards him.


    Kui Shan did not dare to be careless this time. She immediately tapped on the center of her brows and rushed towards Qin Er, bringing with him a gust of wind. It seemed like he had the intention to kill.


    As before, Qin Er did not use her sword, but her fist still smashed onto the Sword Martial Spirit. This time, Qin Er was forced back a few steps by a huge force, while the Sword Martial Spirit was also bounced back.


    "He can actually resist my Sword Martial Spirit?" Kui Shan did not dare believe it and continued to control his Sword Martial Spirit to shoot at Qin Er.


    Although she could knock Sword Martial Spirit away every time, Qin Er would still be forced to retreat. On the surface, it looked like she did not receive any injuries, but it was as if her body had been knocked over. martial soul s were after all the strongest moves of warriors, so it was natural that Qin Er would be injured when using brute strength to block.


    However, Kui Shan''s Sword Martial Spirit was also becoming dimmer and dimmer, and its power was obviously weakening.


    "Not good," Kui Shan realized that the martial soul that was attacking Qin Er the most would be destroyed by her, so he wanted to recall it.


    "Don''t even think about it," Qin Er took a step towards Kui Shan, and just as her martial soul was about to return to her forehead, she suddenly punched out.


    "My martial soul," Kui Shan''s face was filled with disbelief, his own martial soul could actually be destroyed?


    How could Kui Shan accept this? She suddenly rushed towards Qin Er crazily: "I''ll kill you."


    But how could a similar Kui Shan be a match for Qin Er. When Qin Er''s fist smashed into Kui Shan''s body, she directly sent Kui Shan flying, smashing heavily onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood. This time, she no longer had the strength to fight.


    "What did she become so strong about?" The audience was in an uproar, Qin Er actually still did not use her cultivation technique and used her brute strength to defeat Kui Shan?


    Liu Jingjing also had a surprised face as she exclaimed: "Di Chen, did he consume some kind of medicinal pellet?"


    Di Chen smiled and said: "I had her buy a Heaven''s Spirit Pill earlier. Although she is still at the first stage of the Martial King realm, there are not many people in the same realm who can defeat her. Kui Shan used the red fog fruit to increase his cultivation by two small realms, but his strength has been increasing relatively slowly, so he is naturally not a match for her."


    Kui Shan only wanted to break through a new realm, but he didn''t have the strength to do it yet. On the other hand, Di Chen focused on increasing his strength.


    Liu Jingjing also understood the situation, and thought that Kui Shan was training in the wrong direction, it was not good for him to only raise her strength.


    "Whiz!"


    Just then, Ji Yun suddenly stabbed a sword at Qin Er. The attack was too sudden, and did not give Qin Er any time to prepare, because Ji Yun knew that he was unable to defeat Qin Er, and because he was not convinced, he took the opportunity to attack Qin Er when he was not paying attention.


    However, this is a martial arts practice field and requires a fair match in the arena. A sudden attack like this is equivalent to an assassination.


    Seeing this, the people in the audience cried out in shock, was Ji Yun actually trying to kill them all of the sudden?


    "Damn it," Di Chen was a little angry, and immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "spear" written on it.


    "Di Chen, you don''t have to do it, I can do it," Qin Er said. Although Ji Yun''s attack was very sudden, Qin Er was not worried at all, he took out a Spirit Sword and played with it, using it as a sword. It was as if a figure had rushed out from her body, and that figure was Qin Er.


    Before Ji Yun could even get close to Qin Er, Qin Er''s figure had already pierced through his body, with a pfft sound, Ji Yun''s body shook, his chest was pierced by the sword, and fresh blood flowed out. Ji Yun fell straight onto the ground, dead in an instant.


    This sword technique was the Yue Clan Nine Swords that Qin Er had bought at Shuiyue Workshop. Now that she had learnt it for the first time, the first sword technique was extremely fast.


    "This ¡­" Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. Ji Yun had launched a sneak attack on Qin Er, but had he been easily killed by her?


    "Since when did this Qin Er become so powerful? Even those direct disciples can''t compare to him."


    In the distance, Kui Shan was even more frightened. She himself was only destroyed by the martial soul, while Ji Yun was killed.


    Even Di Chen was surprised seeing this, thinking that most people would not be able to resist this, but formula s should be able to.


    Qin Er ran over to Di Chen''s side and laughed: "How is it, my strength has improved a lot, right?"


    Di Chen nodded his head: "You are indeed very powerful, with your current strength, normal Third Level of the Martial King Realm wouldn''t be able to beat you."


    Qin Er sighed again, "It''s a pity that the Yue Maiden Nine Swords is too hard to cultivate. This is the first sword just now, and the second sword can only be learned after I''ve broken through to the fifth level of the Martial King Realm."


    Qin Er''s talent was not considered astonishing. Although her strength had increased by a lot after consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pill, it was still very difficult for her to break through to the next realm.


    Di Chen did not linger, and without even looking at Kui Shan in the distance, he directly left, while Kui Shan sat on the ground foolishly, as if she had lost her soul, this time was beyond his expectations, she originally thought that she could defeat Di Chen just by refining the red fog fruit, but she himself could not even defeat Qin Er?

 C168

    It was at this time that Dongfang Yue walked over. He had been paying attention to this battle the entire time, and like the other students, he did not have high hopes for Qin Er, but he did not expect Qin Er to be able to win two people in a row.


    Di Chen and the other two people bowed: "Teacher Dongfang, what''s the matter?"


    Dongfang Yue said seriously: "Previously, I heard from the scenery that you killed the Mo Family''s Five Generals and even stole their Blood-Drinking Sword. Is this true?"


    Di Chen thought that he could not hide this matter from Dongfang Yue, and said straightforwardly: "When we met them at the old location of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, I joined hands with Senior Sister Li You to kill them."


    Dongfang Yue could not believe it at first, but after hearing Di Chen''s confirmation, he realized that Di Chen had really killed them. Killing the Mo Family''s Five Generals was not a small matter.


    "Di Chen," Dongfang Yue said earnestly: "The Blood-Drinking Sword are the symbol of the five generals of Mo Family, the fact that you snatched their swords away, I believe the news will spread very quickly, and the people of Mo Family will know, I think you have heard of the existence of the Mo Family, so you should be careful."


    Di Chen thought that if even Dongfang Yue said it like that, then this matter would be very serious. But what Di Chen was more worried about was actually Zi Yan, who was preparing to let Zi Yan refine five Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul, would that be harmful to him?


    Di Chen thought that now, he could only wait and see. Hopefully, the Mo Family wouldn''t dare to act rashly.


    "Oh right," Dongfang Yue curiously looked at Qin Er again. "Your strength seems to have increased quite a bit, what''s going on?"


    Qin Er did not hide anything, and told her about when she picked up and sold the red fog fruit in mountain.


    Dongfang Yue was enlightened, and laughed: "I never thought that you two would actually be able to find the red fog fruit, it is indeed a fortuitous opportunity, you selling the red fog fruit to buy the Heavenly Spirit Pill is the right way, rather than blindly increasing your realm, why not think of a way to increase your current strength, the reason Kui Shan and Ji Yun cannot win is also because you went in the wrong direction to cultivate."


    ''s luck was not only because she had found many red fog fruit, but she had actually been able to buy a Heavenly Spirit Pill. It must be known that this pill was very rare and many people wished for it.


    Dongfang Yue suddenly said: "Qin Er, from today onwards, why don''t you train with me?"


    Qin Er was startled: "Teacher Dongfang, you''re saying that you want to accept me as your direct disciple?"


    Dongfang Yue laughed and nodded: "After you consume the Heavenly Spirit Pill, every increase in realm will have a huge increase in strength, but your cultivation speed is too slow, so I wanted to help you cultivate."


    Qin Er''s talent was still very average, and she cultivated very slowly. However, because of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, the increase in her strength after her stage of cultivation was more obvious, and the current Qin Er could already be considered a genius.


    Qin Er didn''t think that she would still be able to become a direct disciple. With an excited face, she quickly said: "Thank you, Teacher Dongfang."


    Dongfang Yue was very busy, and this was why he did not accept any disciples previously. But now, he had broken the rules and accepted Qin Er as his disciple.


    "Right, the three of you follow me. I still have something to announce."


    Dongfang Yue brought the three of them to the direct disciple training area. It was the first time Qin Er came to this place, so she now knew that Di Chen could also be considered a direct disciple.


    When he arrived, he saw that Nian Bai, Shu Nan, and Xun Qin Academy''s three most important teachers were also present. Those direct disciples had also been waiting for a long time.


    Di Chen immediately saw Li You and An Yang. These two women were dangerous characters who had interacted with Di Chen, but Di Chen did not like them. As for why Xiang Zuo did not come, he was just destroyed by Di Chen and was currently recuperating from his injuries.


    Nian Bai arrived early and saw Qin Er at first glance. "Teacher Dong Fang, why did you bring her here?"


    Dongfang Yue laughed: "I have already accepted Qin Er as my disciple, in the future she will cultivate here."


    Dongfang Yue never accepted disciples, but today he accepted Qin Er?


    Qin Er had already been in the Famous Sword Academy for a while, she was a very ordinary disciple, why would Dongfang Yue suddenly accept her?


    The direct disciples also looked at Qin Er in confusion. However, they could also tell that there was an enormous amount of Origin Energy in Qin Er''s body.


    "Teacher Dongfang, why did you call us here?"


    a student asked.


    Dongfang Yue explained: "In another two days, the wizard tower will open. This wizard tower is a holy land for cultivation, I am prepared to let all of you enter it to cultivate."


    "wizard tower?" Hearing the two words "wizard tower", some people were excited while some people were at a loss.


    ~ Dongfang Yue immediately explained to the wizard tower once, the wizard tower was a treasure of the Martial Region Continent, it was located in the center of the Martial Region Continent, it could also be said to be a fictitious world, every five years the wizard tower would open up again, and only Martial Kings would be able to enter, every time it opened up, it would only be for three days, but for wizard tower, it was three months, and the effect of these three months of cultivation was even better than cultivating in the outside world for a year.


    wizard tower could be said to be a holy land for cultivation, and could purchase a large amount of rare pills, weapons, cultivation techniques, and so on. However, the number of people who could enter the wizard tower was limited, so they would need a Mage Token to enter, and the Famous Sword Academy only had ten spots.


    It was Di Chen''s first time hearing about a place like the wizard tower, and he couldn''t help but to be anxious to see what kind of place the wizard tower was, but if he wanted to enter, it would probably not be easy.


    "Ten spots?" Hearing Dongfang Yue''s words, everyone was excited and a little worried, there were more than twenty direct disciples, which meant that some people could not enter?


    Li You asked tentatively, "Teacher Dongfang, then which ten are you ready to choose?"


    Dongfang Yue laughed: "No matter which ten people I choose, they will definitely not be convinced."


    Everyone stopped talking, this wizard tower was not an ordinary place, whoever entered would have their cultivation increase by leaps and bounds, no one wanted to give up.


    At this time, Jing Xi said: "How about we enter the wizard tower s through the competition? No one will complain if we enter with just our strength."


    Everyone frowned as they heard this. If these direct disciples had different cultivation realms, then they must have entered into a higher realm. This was too unfair for those with a lower realm.


    "This won''t do," Nianbai rejected directly. "It''s rare to see a wizard tower open again. If someone with strength but no talent enters, it''ll be a waste. So, we''re going to let those with the best talent enter."


    There were some people that were strong because of their high cultivation realm and the long time they had cultivated inside, such people might have a breakthrough into the wizard tower, but not as many talented people as them. Famous Sword Academy was preparing to train a group of people who could shine in the Three Great Academies on the day of their competition, so giving such a good chance to those who did not have talent was truly too much of a waste.


    It was not good to retort after hearing this.


    Xun Qin laughed and said: "Actually, we already have a few people in our hearts, these few people can directly enter the wizard tower, other people shouldn''t feel unconvinced."


    Then, she nodded and said, "When Di Chen, Jingjing, Li You, An Yang, and Jing Jing, the five of you can enter the wizard tower."


    Amongst the five of them, only Di Chen had a face full of surprise and joy. Although he was a literati and was considered strong, he was not confident that he would be selected. However, the other four looked relaxed.


    "Teacher, this isn''t fair. This Di Chen and Liu Jingjing both just broke through the Martial King Realm, how is it possible for them to go in?"


    Some of them were unsatisfied, while the others revealed unfair expressions, these people all admitted that their talent was not inferior to Di Chen''s, so why didn''t they give him a slot themselves?


    Xun Qin laughed: "You don''t have to feel that it''s unfair. Their talents are what they deserve, and you guys still have five more slots to fight for."


    Hearing Xun Qin''s firm words, everyone could not say anymore, it was just that they were still a little dissatisfied, and started to hate Di Chen and Liu Jingjing a little more. After all, they were still considered new people.


    "Wait," Dongfang Yue suddenly said. "Let Qin Er enter the wizard tower too."


    "Me?" Qin Er didn''t dare believe her ears. She was just a normal disciple before, but now, she still had the qualifications to enter the wizard tower?


    "Let her in?" This time, not only the other students, even Nian Bai and Xun Qin were surprised.


    Nian Bai frowned. "Dongfang, are you sure?"


    Dongfang Yue laughed out loud: "Previously, when Qin Er consumed the Heaven''s Spirit Pill, although her talent was average, increasing her cultivation by one realm was more difficult, but every time she raised it, her strength would increase by a large amount. I think it''s a good idea for her to enter the wizard tower."


    After Qin Er consumed the Heavenly Spirit Pill, there were not many people who could compare to her in terms of cultivation level, but because of this, she attracted even more dissatisfaction. Previously, Qin Er was just a normal disciple, but now, she had earned the qualifications to take a spot?


    Dongfang Yue did not care about what the others thought, he looked at Di Chen and the rest and said: "You guys can go rest for a while, when we choose the other four, you all can enter the wizard tower together."


    After a period of time, Di Chen and the rest retreated to the side, while the rest of them had to fight in order to enter the wizard tower, this competition was not only about their strength, but also to test their talent.


    After four hours of testing, he finally selected the other four people who had the qualifications to enter the wizard tower.


    Dongfang Yue took out ten command medallions and handed it over to Di Chen and the others. This command medallion was only the size of a palm, and after Dongfang Yue said what he needed to pay attention to, he told the ten of them to activate it and enter the wizard tower.


    "You will meet people from the entire Martial Region Continent in this wizard tower. Be careful."


    The Tower Master Tower was a sacred ground for warriors, and every person who entered the wizard tower would have their cultivation increase by leaps and bounds, but there was a possibility that they would die inside the wizard tower.

 C169

    Ten rays of light flickered as ten people entered the wizard tower. It was Di Chen and the rest, aside from the six people that Dongfang Yue had chosen, there were four other people that had won in the battle, the left side had a long-haired man called Liu Shuang, a fourth stage Martial King cultivator, and the right side had a young man called Fan Shuang, who had the strength of a fifth stage Martial King. Beside him was a sinister teenager called Mu Feng, who did not like to interact with others, so Di Chen did not know his realm.


    "Is this the wizard tower?" Di Chen and the others entered the first floor of the wizard tower s, which was very large, occupying at least a few hundred acres of land. From the east, south, west, and north, four flights of stairs led to the upper levels of the wizard tower.


    This was the first time Di Chen had entered a wizard tower. He looked at Jing Shi and asked, "Senior Brother Jing Shi, this shouldn''t be the first time you''ve come to a wizard tower, right?"


    The first level corresponds to a stage, and everyone can only move about on the same level as him or a level higher than him, but they can only move about on the level lower than them. To take Li You for example, she has a Third Level of the Martial King Realm cultivation, which means that she can only move about on the third level and above. "


    Liu Jingjing pointed to the rooms around them and asked: "What are these rooms doing?"


    "Those rooms are for combat purposes. Each room has its own space."


    Once you enter these rooms, you will be able to fight with other people, and the targets of the fights will automatically match, and most people who enter the wizard tower and are of the same realm as you, of course, you two can also challenge people, but the same person can only fight once, and no matter who wins, they cannot fight again, or else they will offend the punishment of the wizard tower.


    "Fight?" Everyone was suspicious, previously Dongfang Yue had only talked about the benefits of wizard tower s, but did not talk about it.


    Every time you win a battle, the wizard tower will automatically give you 10 points, and a large amount of pills and other such points. These points are the money from the wizard tower, and can be used to purchase pills, weapons, and cultivation techniques.


    Hearing the explanation, the few of them came to a realization, the reason why those people wanted to enter the wizard tower so badly was because they wanted to buy those rare things that they could not see outside.


    Li You frowned: "Shuiyue Workshop of the Spirit Continent can purchase a few rare items. If this wizard tower was only used for this purpose, I wouldn''t have to come in."


    Other people also had the same thought, there were many shops like the Shuiyue Workshop, why would they enter the wizard tower to buy things?


    When everyone thought of this, they could not help but feel disappointed.


    Jing Xi laughed, "You are wrong. There aren''t even any Shuiyue Workshop here, or even people in the imperial court. Some of them have long been lost, you will know when you win a match."


    Everyone looked at the scenery with excitement. They thought that this place must be extraordinary, so when they thought about it, they became somewhat impatient.


    "But don''t be happy too early. There is no limit to this type of battle, which means that the other party will very likely kill you."


    Jing Xi reminded him seriously.


    An Yang said in shock: Senior Brother Jing Shi, are you saying that this is a battle that does not care about life and death?


    "That''s right, the people who entered the wizard tower came from all over the Martial Region Continent, and they don''t even know you, so naturally they wouldn''t hold back."


    Everyone thought that this was just a competition, but no one expected that this type of battle, regardless of life or death, would automatically match up to the target after entering the room. Wouldn''t it be dangerous if they matched up with a devil cultivator that killed people without batting an eyelid?


    "There is one more thing that you must remember, the wizard tower will only open for three days, but it will be in the tower for three months. Within these three months, you must win ten battles."


    Jing Shi reminded again: "If the wizard tower closes and you guys still haven''t won ten battles, then if you want to go out again, you will have to wait for the wizard tower''s next activation."


    The wizard tower would only open once every three years, so wouldn''t that mean that they could only go out after three years?


    The wizard tower had been closed for the past three years. The lady in the tower, those rooms will not be opened, so it means that she will not be able to cultivate within the next three years?


    "This ¡­" Everyone felt a bit regretful after hearing what Jing Xi said. If they had known earlier, they wouldn''t have entered.


    "Actually, wizard tower still have many rules, but I can''t finish for now. You guys go ahead and experience it yourself, I''m going to leave first, I have Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, so I can only go to the ninth floor and win ten battles at the same time."


    With that, he bid farewell to the others, and then went up the stairs to the ninth floor.


    "Di Chen, I''ll be leaving as well," Li You bid farewell to Di Chen, and then went to the third floor, while the others went to their respective floors. Only Di Chen, Liu Jingjing, and Qin Er were left on the first floor.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly felt a sense of enmity when he left for the rest of his life.


    Liu Jingjing also noticed that right before she left, she gave a deep glance at Di Chen. She asked with doubt, "Do you have a grudge against his for the rest of his life?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "I am not familiar with him, so there shouldn''t be any enmity between us, but he seems to want to kill me."


    Liu Jingjing pondered: "Most likely, it''s because you entered the first level, yet he needs to put in a lot of effort in order to enter, so he won''t be convinced."


    Di Chen said in a speechless manner, "It''s not like I''m the only one. Why does he have to treat me like this?"


    But Di Chen was not worried, fighting was prohibited outside the wizard tower and the battles in the room were automatically matched by the system. There was a difference of three small realms between the two of them, so the system could not match up to two people.


    Qin Er lost her mind and asked: "Di Chen, what should we do next?"


    Di Chen looked around: "Let''s look around first."


    The first floor of the wizard tower was very big, and there were many people coming and going, all of them looking very strong and dangerous. Di Chen tried his best to keep a distance from them, and after entering the room, he matched up with these people.


    "Friend, wait," Someone suddenly called out to Di Chen.


    Di Chen turned around and saw a man around thirty years old. He had short hair and carried a large hammer on his back.


    "What''s the matter?" Di Chen looked suspiciously at the person.


    The man smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Ruo Ling. From the looks of it, this is probably your first time entering a wizard tower."


    Di Chen did not plan to get to know the other party, and did not say his name from the start, and only nodded blankly.


    Ruo Ling smiled and said, "I want to invite you to fight with me. How about it?"


    Di Chen frowned: "Why should I fight with you?"


    Look at the surroundings. These people are all from different parts of the Martial Region Continent, and there are Devil Dao and Demon Race, and all of them are people who kill without blinking an eye, so it would be dangerous if they matched up with each other. That''s why many people would challenge them from the outside, and ensure that they do not fight to the death.


    Di Chen noticed that there were many people conversing with each other. It seemed like they were fighting.


    In fact, this was also very normal. From the outside, you could see which people had demonic path, which people had murderous intents, and which people had no murderous intents, so it was safer to fight against those people without murderous intents, which also prevented them from becoming strong. Of course, only those with slightly weaker strength would do such a thing.


    "How is it?" Ruo Ling continued to ask, "The two of us are of similar strength, so a fair fight won''t be dangerous."


    Then, he looked at Liu Jingjing and said to him, "If you''re willing, that''s fine too."


    Di Chen had never entered the wizard tower before, so fighting with other people seemed to be a good choice. He was about to nod his head, when he suddenly noticed someone from all around looking at him playfully, and whispered.


    "No need, we just came in, so we don''t want to fight," Di Chen smiled as he rejected the offer. He did not understand this man, but who knows what he was planning to do.


    Ruo Ling was still unwilling to give up and insisted, "How about this, I''ll give you 5 points and you lose to me. How about that?"


    Di Chen was stunned again. "You can do this?"


    He never mentioned that he would be able to win points by losing the match.


    Ruo Ling explained, "You also know that winning each match will give you 10 points, but losing won''t be a loss. So there are a lot of people with my strength who would bet on others to lose and win half of the points."


    Take Ruo Ling for example, his strength was average, so he would not rashly enter the room to fight with other people, so he would make an appointment in advance to fight with the other party. Once he entered the room, the other party would admit defeat, and the points he won would split between the two parties would be split evenly, which was to bet on the other party losing.


    Di Chen had never thought that things could turn out like this, he thought that he did not understand the battle style, and so he was not only able to understand the details of the battle, but also gain five points without any bloodshed, which was actually a good thing, and wanted to agree.


    "I advise you not to agree," a man''s voice suddenly came from the side. The man had long hair, was wearing a long robe, and had a folding fan in his hand. He looked like an elegant young man.


    When Ruo Ling saw him, she immediately became angry: "Yu Qianyi, what does this have to do with you, what right do you have to meddle in my matters."


    Yu Qianyi taunted: "I really do not know how someone like you could enter the wizard tower. Is it not enough for you to have already tricked five newbies?"

 C170

    Ruo Ling glanced at Di Chen, seeing that he had already revealed his doubts, she could not help but scold: "What nonsense are you spouting, when did I lie to him? The automatic matching of the system was originally very dangerous."


    Yu Qianyi nodded his head: "You are right, it is because the automatic wizard tower match is very dangerous, so many people will challenge others outside, and some people will use points like you to bet on others to lose, but will you really give him five points?"


    "I ¡­" Ruo Ling was momentarily speechless. She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I will give it to you. Moreover, this little brother seems to be friendly with you. I also want to make friends with him."


    Then, he looked at Di Chen and said: "Little brother, don''t listen to this person''s nonsense. This guy has a cruel personality and has killed countless people. He always likes to use newbies."


    "Make friends?" Yu Qianyi laughed: "You and him have been chatting for quite some time already, do you know his name?"


    He said that he wanted to become friends with Di Chen, but he didn''t even ask for Di Chen''s name, which meant that he didn''t have any intention of becoming friends with him, he only wanted to trick Di Chen into fighting in the room. In fact, if he thought about it, he could understand, since Ruo Ling dared to come to Di Chen to fight, she was confident that she could win against him.


    Seeing Ruo Ling''s confused look, how could Qin Er not know what he was thinking, she angrily said: "So you wanted to trick us into fighting, we won''t go in."


    Seeing that Di Chen and the other two had seen through his intentions, he scoffed: "There are not many weak ones within this wizard tower, you will definitely come and beg me."


    With that, he left in a huff. It was obvious that he wasn''t going to give up.


    This was also normal, Di Chen and the other two were not only newcomers, but Di Chen also possessed energy that was not affected by the spirit energy at all. He looked very weak, and there were naturally a lot of people who had ideas on him, not only Ruo Ling, Di Chen had already felt that there were many people who were hostile towards him.


    Di Chen then looked at Yu Qianyi and said: "Thank you for your reminder, friend."


    Yu Qianyi walked over and laughed: "There''s no need to be polite, I just don''t like this guy''s actions. I''m just trying to tell you all that, there are actually many wizard tower who use points to bet on others losing, but at least twenty points at one time, no one would do this for five points."


    In fact, thinking about it, I can understand. Winning once out of the wizard tower is worth ten points, and if I pretend to lose to you and only get five points, then why can''t I win ten points by defeating you?


    It was also because Di Chen didn''t know much about wizard tower that he almost fell for the trap.


    When a warrior enters the room to fight, after winning a few rounds, the opponent he will be matching will become weaker and weaker. At this point, some people will not be able to win anymore, and out of the wizard tower, they will have to win at least ten rounds before they can leave, but there are some people who can only win seven or eight matches, and at this time, they will need to spend points to buy other people''s points.


    Di Chen realised, if he had entered, he would have defeated him without any hesitation, but he would not have given him 5 points.


    In reality, spending points to buy other people''s loss meant that they would first give half of their points, only giving the other half after the end of the match.


    Di Chen thought that the points must be very important in the wizard tower, if not these people would not have such big thoughts to earn the points.


    "Oh, right," Yu Qianyi introduced himself. "My name is Yu Qianyi, may I know what your name is?"


    Di Chen introduced himself briefly, then introduced himself to Qin Er and Liu Jingjing.


    Yu Qianyi cupped his hands: "So it''s Brother Di Chen, I see that you do not have any Yuan Power in your body, I think that your cultivation is a little special, but other people would not think so, following that you will definitely meet a lot of people you meet, so be careful."


    As he said that, he bid farewell to Di Chen, and did not intend to continue befriending him.


    Liu Jingjing stared at Yu Qianyi''s back, and laughed: "He''s smart, knowing that if we stay too close to him, we will definitely suspect. We might as well just leave, I don''t know if he has any intentions."


    Qin Er pondered: "I actually think that he''s rather friendly, maybe he really can''t see through Ruo Ling''s way of doing things."


    Di Chen did not speak, he inwardly thought that this Martial Region Continent was very big, and might not even see him again in the future. It did not matter what his goal was, as long as he did not make an appointment with him.


    After that, Di Chen strolled around the first floor, and just like what Yu Qianyi had said, many other people went up to challenge him. Seems like they felt that Di Chen was weak, and dared to come up and fight with him, but Di Chen rejected them one by one, and after that, they prepared to pay Di Chen their points to lose. Some of them thought that Di Chen did not know the rules and only wanted to spend five or six points, and some were even willing to spend twenty points.


    "Di Chen, look behind us," Liu Jingjing said as she glanced behind him.


    Di Chen noticed that there were three men following him from the start. One of them was Ruo Ling, and it was obvious that he still wanted to challenge Di Chen.


    Qin Er was unsatisfied: "These three people are so annoying, they must have felt that we were weak and wanted to fight with us."


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "You don''t have to mind, as long as we do not agree to fight with them, that''s enough, they can''t do anything to us either."


    In fact, even if they were to fight Liu Jingjing, she was not afraid of them, she was confident that she could defeat her opponent, but Liu Jingjing did not want to fight in this kind of meaningless battle.


    Di Chen did not care too much and continued to stroll. The first level was simply too big, Di Chen was unable to finish walking and said: "Let''s find a room to try?"


    Qin Er giggled: "Alright, alright, I''ll take the chance to see how much I''ve improved in this period of time."


    Liu Jingjing also agreed: "We''ll fight sooner or later anyway, it''s good to go in and take a look."


    Di Chen thought for a while before separating with Liu Jingjing and Qin Er and walking towards one of the rooms.


    "They''re preparing to fight." Ruo Ling saw the three of them walking towards three different rooms, and knew that they finally wanted to try fighting each other.


    The three of them separated and followed Di Chen and the other two. Not only them, but the others also followed Di Chen as if this was an extremely rare opportunity, but they were scared away by the look in Ruo Ling''s eyes.


    Di Chen did not notice Ruo Ling. He found an empty room, pushed open the door and entered, the room was once again a world of its own, there was a lot of space inside, Di Chen walked in, and just as he was about to close the door, someone suddenly flicked it open, and another man walked in.


    "It''s you?" Seeing Ruo Ling come in, Di Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "I never said I would fight with you, why are you in here?"


    Ruo Ling smiled and said, "Then you should be careful. Once you enter this room, immediately close the door, not giving anyone the chance to enter."


    wizard tower s could enter the same room with two people, and this was a battle arranged by the two. When Di Chen first entered, he was too careless, and did not close the door in time, thus, allowing Ruo Ling to rush in.


    Di Chen finally understood that the reason why Ruo Ling and the other two had been following him earlier was because they wanted to barge into the room the moment he entered, which would be equivalent to fighting him. He never thought that he would have such a shameless method, which meant that Liu Jingjing''s room with Qin Er must have been broken into by someone else.


    Di Chen laughed: "For the sake of winning against me once, you really put in a lot of effort."


    Ruo Ling laughed: "Of course, those who can enter the wizard tower are all dangerous people, but only you do not have any Yuan Power in your body. It is a pity that this is the wizard tower, your family''s relationship cannot affect this tower, how could I miss a weak person like you, not just me, I believe many people will not miss out on you."


    Di Chen suddenly remembered that there were many people following him, thinking that this was their plan.


    "You disagreed when I kindly suggested a duel just now. Now, we''re not in the same room, but this time I won''t let you off so easily. If you want to blame something, blame yourself."


    Ruo Ling smiled playfully. "Now go and die."


    Di Chen laughed but did not say a word. Actually, even if Di Chen had promised him before, he would not have let Di Chen go.


    Without further ado, Ruo Ling took out her sledgehammer and smashed it towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen only felt a heavy force blowing towards him, it seemed like his heart was moved to murder, he did not even step back, he just raised his hand and formed a spear word, the spear word turned into a spear that welcomed Ruo Ling.


    Clang!


    Ruo Ling''s hammer smashed onto the long spear. Ruo Ling only felt as if her arm was struck by a powerful force, causing her entire body to be sent flying. Her arm also felt like it was trembling violently.


    "How can you be so strong?" Previously, when he saw that Di Chen did not have any Yuan Power in his body, he dared to enter, but Di Chen''s power was completely beyond his imagination.


    Di Chen laughed: "I was worried that the System would be too strong and I wouldn''t be able to handle it, I didn''t think that you would come in, since you are willing to give me a match, then I won''t be polite."


    With that, Di Chen wrote another shot word for word at Ruo Ling.


    Ruo Ling had no choice but to swing her large iron hammer towards the long spear. Peng! This time, the large iron hammer was smashed into smithereens, pieces of it flying everywhere. Some of the pieces directly pierced into Ruo Ling''s body, blood spurting out.


    "Impossible," Ruo Ling couldn''t believe it, her hammer could also be considered a spirit weapon, but was it actually destroyed by her opponent so easily?


    "You deserve to die," Ruo Ling pointed at the center of her brows, at the center of her brows, a snake shadow roared out, opening her mouth and biting towards Di Chen. This was his martial soul, but this martial soul looked very weak.


    Di Chen then wrote another shot, the spear word easily pierced through that huge snake. A martial soul like that was simply unable to withstand a single attack from Di Chen and was easily destroyed by Di Chen.


    "My martial soul," Ruo Ling was flabbergasted, even her martial soul could not withstand a single blow from him?


    Most importantly, Ruo Ling did not see Di Chen''s spirit energy fluctuations at all.


    Di Chen wrote the word spear once again. Since Ruo Ling wanted to send herself to her death, Di Chen would naturally not be polite with her.

 C171

    "I concede!" This time, Ruo Ling was truly afraid. With a loud roar, her body suddenly disappeared.


    "Disappeared?" Di Chen still did not understand what was going on.


    "Whiz!"


    Just at this moment, a ray of light entered into Di Chen''s Mage Order. This Mage Order could be considered a magic tool, it was about the same as the Sky Realm Academy''s school uniform, Di Chen discovered that within his Mage Order, he had gained an additional 10 points, and then, a pile of pills appeared in front of Di Chen. These pills were all pills that recovered his spirit energy and wounds, although they were very common in the outside world, but they were all quite expensive.


    Other than this, Di Chen could also clearly feel that his own strength seemed to have increased a little as another wave of energy surged into his body.


    "What''s going on?" Di Chen thought to himself, just now, this power was at least equivalent to him absorbing the power of dozens of fourth stage Demonic King.


    Di Chen did not understand, he kept the pill and left the room.


    Previously, when everyone saw Ruo Ling follow Di Chen into the room, they were all envious. She was a newbie who did not know the rules, which was equivalent to giving her a free gift.


    "What''s going on?" Everyone was surprised to see Ruo Ling in such a state. Could it be that he lost?


    After a while, Di Chen also walked out, and instantly saw Ruo Ling standing not far away. It was as if he had calmed down, but he was still a little afraid.


    Everyone thought to themselves, looks like Ruo Ling really lost this time, but Ruo Ling''s strength is very average, so no one put Di Chen, who was able to defeat Ruo Ling, in their eyes.


    Di Chen did not care about the opinions of the crowd. Looking around, Qin Er and Liu Jingjing did not come out, but it seemed that the battle was still going on.


    A few minutes later, Liu Jingjing walked out first. Her body was uninjured and her face was relaxed, it seemed that she had won the battle and the other person had not come out yet.


    Di Chen walked over and asked: "Did someone follow you into the room just now?"


    Liu Jingjing nodded her head: "That''s right, this is the first time I''ve heard that we can still play like this, but that person''s strength is too weak, so I killed her."


    During this period of time, Liu Jingjing had always been following Di Chen, and her personality had changed a lot. Sometimes, Di Chen would even forget that Liu Jingjing never hesitated to kill someone before.


    "Qin Er?" Liu Jingjing looked around and asked.


    Di Chen shook his head: "He hasn''t come out yet, but with her strength, there shouldn''t be a problem right?"


    Although Qin Er was stronger than before, Di Chen was still a little worried about her. Soon enough, Di Chen realized that his worries were unnecessary, so he walked out from a room.


    Behind Qin Er, another man walked out dejectedly. It seemed that he had lost, but his spirit energy was full and he did not have any injuries. This made Di Chen a little curious.


    "How is it?" Di Chen asked. Seeing Qin Er''s relaxed smile, he knew she had won easily.


    Qin Er laughed: "Just now, someone followed me in, that person is not weak, they were defeated by me, and won 10 points as well as a large amount of pills."


    Di Chen looked at the man and asked: "Why doesn''t he seem to be injured?"


    Qin Er explained: "Even if I lose, the system will still give you pills to recover your injuries and elemental energy. I guarantee that you will have your next battle, but of course, the prerequisite for that is that you will not die."


    Di Chen thought that it was no wonder so many people wanted to enter the wizard tower. Although the battle was dangerous, as long as you admit defeat in time, your life would not be in danger.


    Di Chen then asked Qin Er and Liu Jingjing if there were any changes to their cultivations, both of them also said that their spirit force had increased by a lot, only then did Di Chen know that winning a battle within the wizard tower would cause their cultivation to increase correspondingly, it was better than cultivating outside, could it be that so many people wanted to enter the room to fight.


    After calculating it for a while, Di Chen estimated that after defeating ten people, he would reach the strength of a Martial King. However, he did not know if his Third Level of the Martial King Realm would increase by multiple times.


    This was a good method of cultivation, and it was much faster compared to outside.


    Liu Jingjing pointed in the distance and said, "Jing said that these points can be used to exchange for other cultivation techniques. Let''s go take a look."


    There was a separate area on each floor of the wizard tower that could be used to exchange for other things. As long as you enter the corresponding points, you can buy them.


    There were a large amount of pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, many of them extremely rare in the outside world, but the points were surprisingly high. Di Chen noticed that some of the pills required tens of thousands of points in order to win one battle, while others required only ten points.


    Liu Jingjing suddenly noticed that there was a completely preserved skeleton in the distance. This skeleton was the Quake Bird, it lived tens of thousands of years ago, and could be considered to be a type of Ghost Bird. The Evil Qi was extremely dense, and had long been extinct.


    Liu Jingjing introduced. "This Qilin''s bones can be used to refine wind-type weapons. Its power is very strong, so if it''s outside, it can be sold for at least a hundred million silver."


    "Look at this sword," Qin Er said as she pointed to a flexible sword in the distance. This flexible sword was about one metre long and was silvery-white in color, and there was an enormous amount of elemental energy in the sword.


    She looked at the points and then said with a helpless look on her face, "It actually costs a thousand points. I''ll have to win a hundred matches for this one thousand points."


    One hundred matches might not seem like a lot, but it was not easy for him to win either. Every battle had a fatal risk, and it was very likely that she would lose her life, but Qin Er looked like she wanted this flexible sword very much.


    "Di Chen, look at that," Liu Jingjing suddenly shouted.


    Di Chen looked towards the direction that Liu Jingjing was pointing at. There was a book there, the pages of the book were already turning yellow, it seemed to have been there for a long time.


    "What a grand name," Di Chen thought to himself as he looked at the pages of the book. The value of the book must be extraordinary, he suddenly thought of the many ancient books he brought from Eternal Gate, all of them were singing praises to the heavens, but this book was about the heavens, Di Chen suddenly became curious about the contents of the books.


    "2,000 points," Di Chen raised his eyebrows, thinking that these 2,000 points were quite a lot, he didn''t know if he could even earn that much even after three months.


    Di Chen thought that the things sold here were indeed extraordinary, no wonder those people were so desperate to enter the wizard tower s.


    "Di Chen," At this time, the angered voice of a woman came from the side.


    The voice was very familiar, Di Chen looked over, and it was actually Cao Yuer.


    "Yu''er ¡­" This was the first time Di Chen met her. She was a simple and kind girl, but later on, Cao Yuer misunderstood that Di Chen did not save her and turned against him, even thinking about killing Di Chen. The relationship between the two of them changed just like that, Di Chen really didn''t think that he would meet her here, and for a moment, he didn''t know what to say.


    Liu Jingjing knew about the matter between Di Chen and Cao Yuer and slightly shook her head. However, Qin Er had a face full of doubt, and was thinking about how she could possibly hold such a huge grudge against Di Chen.


    Cao Yuer excitedly said as she looked at Di Chen: "You are indeed here as well, go and die."


    ~ Thinking that it was because of the excitement, Cao Yuer suddenly rushed towards Di Chen, wanting to kill him, but the moment her spirit force surged out, she was pushed back by an invisible force, only by entering the rooms could she fight, she cannot fight in this free zone.


    Seeing her murderous look, Di Chen smiled bitterly: "Yu''er, before, I also thought that Cao Rouer died because of what I saw. But later on, Fang Xin told me that she did not die in the hands of the demonic beast, she escaped, but he died because of Fang Xin, and Jiang You was the same, I just did not know about it at the time, and I mistakenly thought that her death was because I did not save her, and that your sister was not killed by me."


    "Nonsense," Cao Yuer roared. "You killed Fang Xin, so you can say whatever you want. Di Chen, I want to challenge you."


    Di Chen shook his head, he did not want to fight with Cao Yuer, but he knew that explaining anything would be useless, so he simply avoided Cao Yuer and turned to leave.


    Cao Yuer took out a black order badge and imbued her spirit force into it, she then shouted out once more: "Di Chen, you want to fight against me?"


    "I won''t ¡­" Di Chen wanted to reject them, but before he could finish, he and Cao Yuer''s bodies suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment they entered a room.


    Forced fighting order was one of the items in the wizard tower, it required 100 points to purchase. No matter who the opponent was, or what realm they were in, as long as they used the order badge, they could forcefully fight with them, but they could only use it once. Unless they wanted to kill a person, no one would buy it.


    Di Chen sighed, these hundred points were not small, for the sake of killing his, Cao Yuer actually bought his an order badge, how much did she want to kill him?


    Cao Yuer did not say anything, and suddenly punched at Di Chen, a majestic wave of spirit energy surging, a fist rushing towards him.


    Previously, when Cao Yuer obtained a Spirit Opening Pill at the Thousand Monster Mountain, her talent became shocked and her cultivation speed became very fast. Now, she had already broken through her Third Level of the Martial King Realm and far surpassed Di Chen.


    Di Chen did not dare to be careless, he immediately used his handwritten word spear to welcome the fist shadows, the spear directly struck the fist shadows, with a bang sound, both of them broke apart.


    Cao Yuer continued to punch out with her fists, with each of her punches releasing a fist image. Di Chen continued to unleash Spear Arts to parry the punches, the two punches being equally powerful, causing both of them to destroy each other, but Di Chen was not able to relax even a bit, as the moment he was struck by one fist image, he would be fatal.


    Di Chen didn''t want to fight with Cao Yuer, but Cao Yuer wanted to kill him. Furthermore, she was very strong, and if this continued, Di Chen would be in danger.

 C172

    Di Chen saw that Cao Yuer was fighting even more crazily, and immediately shouted: "Yu''er, I didn''t lie to you about your sister''s death, it was indeed Fang Xin who killed her, it has nothing to do with me."


    Cao Yuer scoffed, "So what if Fang Xin killed his? You said it before, when my sister fought the demonic beast, you ignored his and did not even think of helping her. You still deserve to die."


    She had already blamed Cao Rouer''s death on Di Chen, so no matter what Di Chen said, she wouldn''t give up on killing him. After she finished speaking, she continued to charge towards Di Chen.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen immediately handwritten a word. Cao Yuer''s body froze for a moment, but immediately recovered back to normal again. This time, this formula did not seem to have much of an impact on Cao Yuer.


    "Is that a Free Talisman?" Di Chen was startled, he suddenly saw a talisman in Cao Yuer''s hand, he could vaguely see that it was a Free Talisman, this talisman could cancel any imprisoning type cultivation technique, for example, Di Chen''s formula, but the Free Talismans were extremely difficult to create, and in the entire Martial Region Continent, there were very few of them, but Cao Yuer had them, it could be imagined just how much money she had spent to kill him.


    "I admit defeat," Di Chen immediately shouted. He knew that this battle would be a threat to anyone, but what surprised Di Chen was that his body was still in the room. The battle did not end because of him admitting defeat.


    It''s useless, wait ten minutes, you won''t be able to leave even if you admit defeat, Di Chen, I must kill you today, Ten Directions Fist.


    Cao Yuer punched over ten times, all of their punches flying towards Di Chen at the same time. This time, their power was obviously different from before.


    Di Chen''s expression changed, he immediately took out a slip of paper with the word ''Protector'' written on it, the power of the scholar flowed into the paper, the word ''Protector'' lit up, and a barrier enveloped Di Chen''s body.


    The fist shadows smashed onto the barrier and clanging sounds continuously rang out. Every fist shadows had an extremely strong power, causing Di Chen to retreat but they did not manage to break through Di Chen''s barrier.


    Di Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This formula protection could withstand an attack from at least the fourth stage of the Martial King realm. It seemed like Cao Yuer wasn''t that easy to defeat either.


    "Green Turbid Snake," Cao Yuer waved her hand, and a ten to forty feet large snake suddenly appeared. This huge snake was completely green, and was a very rare type of snake that was born in the Thousand Monster Mountain, it was not very powerful, but it was extremely poisonous, and if it had taken a bite for a minute, that would definitely be its death. Even Martial King was the same.


    The green turbid snake opened its mouth and spat out a poisonous liquid onto Di Chen''s barrier, which immediately produced a "puchi" sound. The barrier shone through the darkness, and then shattered like glass.


    At the same time, Cao Yuer took another step forward and stood in front of Di Chen, throwing a punch at him.


    It was already too late. After being punched in the chest by Cao Yuer, Di Chen''s entire body flew backwards, and landed on the ground with a heavy thud, causing his internal organs to flip upside down, as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Taking advantage of her victory, Cao Yuer chased after him as she continued to rush towards Di Chen.


    "Is she this strong now?" Di Chen was secretly surprised, many of the direct disciples in Famous Sword Academy could not even beat her.


    This time, Di Chen did not dare to give up, and similarly punched towards Cao Yuer. Although Di Chen also had the strength of the first stage of the realm of martial arts, the power of his fist was much stronger than the Spear Arts.


    Bang!


    As the two fists collided, Cao Yuer only felt a burning sensation on his arm, as if a burning sensation had entered his arm. In the next moment, her arm was turned into ashes, while Di Chen was also pushed back a few steps, but the situation was much better than Cao Yuer.


    "Yu''er, are you alright?" Di Chen asked anxiously. He had already tried to pull back his strength, but the power of one punch was still as strong as before.


    Cao Yuer snorted: "Stop being so hypocritical, if you want to kill me, just come and kill me."


    Di Chen could only use his fist to fight it out, he did not want to hurt her, so he tried his best to maintain his strength and retreat as he fought, but Cao Yuer had always been crazily attacking Di Chen and almost killed him a few times. In fact, if Di Chen had used his full strength, he would have already defeated Cao Yuer.


    Time continued to pass minute by second, Di Chen''s body was filled with the energy of a scholar, his body was no longer able to endure and his face was covered with fatigue.


    Cao Yuer could also tell that Di Chen was trying to stall for time, she was getting crazier and crazier, his attacks deadly.


    "Time''s up," Di Chen finally finished stalling and he immediately shouted, "I admit defeat."


    Just then, a ray of light descended and Di Chen immediately disappeared from the room.


    Cao Yuer was still unable to kill her. Seeing the empty room, she revealed a look of sadness, but she did not come out immediately. Instead, she squatted down and buried her head in her knees and cried.


    When Di Chen came out of his room, he had also received a batch of medicinal pellets, but he did not manage to swallow them in time.


    "Di Chen," Liu Jingjing saw Di Chen at first glance, and immediately trotted over. Looking at Di Chen''s body which was covered with pain and injuries, he said, "Are you alright?"


    Di Chen took out a Great Recovery Pill and swallowed it. Only then did his injuries slowly recover, and he said: "I''m fine, just rest for a while."


    Liu Jingjing said angrily: "This Cao Yuer is really going too far, what does Cao Rouer''s death have to do with you? Even when you were in danger, she did not think of saving you, I will defeat her."


    Di Chen blocked Liu Jingjing and said: "Don''t go, this matter cannot be blamed on her."


    "But ¡­" Liu Jingjing is too protective of Cao Yuer. You protect her, but she wants to kill you.


    Qin Er advised Di Chen. This time, Di Chen was lucky enough to escape, but what about the next time?


    Di Chen did not want to explain either. Cao Yuer was kind, and could not accept Cao Rouer''s death at the moment. She had to find a place to vent her anger, and so she vented it on Di Chen.


    Just then, Cao Yuer walked out of the room. Her injuries had already recovered, and it looked like she had taken the Great Recovery Pill.


    Cao Yuer coldly looked at Di Chen and said: "I won''t give up, once I have enough points, I will still exchange for a forced battle order to kill you, until I kill you."


    With that, she went to the third floor to earn more points.


    Seeing that Cao Yuer was not willing to let it go, Liu Jingjing was angered to the point that she wanted to attack, but upon thinking that Di Chen was not willing, he decided to stop.


    Qin Er said anxiously: "Di Chen, I can see that she is determined to kill you. Even if this goes on, it won''t work."


    Di Chen waved his hand and said: "Let me recover my powers as a scholar first."


    Warriors could use medicinal pills to recover their spirit energy, but not scholars. Di Chen needed to read and write to recover his powers, so after every battle, Di Chen would write and read.


    Liu Jingjing and Qin Er didn''t have any other ways to deal with Di Di Chen so they accompanied him at the side.


    Many people saw this scene and were curious. They thought to themselves that when warriors finished their battles, they would swallow pills to recover their spirit energy, and this guy still had the mood to read?


    However, this world was full of wonders. Some people liked to read books, and some people liked to play chess. This was normal, so no one cared too much about it.


    An hour later, Di Chen finally recovered the power of a scholar and his injuries were all healed as well. It had to be said that the wizard tower gave him a lot of medicinal pellets for every battle, which was enough to ensure a person''s complete recovery.


    Seeing that Di Chen had recovered, Liu Jingjing was finally relieved, "What do we do now, Cao Yuer will definitely come back."


    Qin Er hesitated: "Earlier, I saw that there was an Anti-Force Battle Token there, and said that you could withdraw from the battle after buying it. It can''t be said that you lost, but it would still take a hundred points."


    Di Chen was speechless, thinking that there were really a lot of strange things in the wizard tower, but they all had to have points, and it just had to be difficult to get those points.


    "Let''s see one step at a time," Di Chen thought to himself. Previously, when he saw that Cao Yuer had a Free Talisman in her hand, if she could destroy this Talisman then she would be able to control her, and this way, she could control her for ten minutes.


    Liu Jingjing said: "Right now, the most important thing is to earn more points. Di Chen, let''s go fight."


    Di Chen still wanted to buy the¡¶ On the Sky¡·, he wanted to earn more points, so after saying a few words to Qin Er and Liu Jingjing, he entered the room.


    This time, it was not a challenge, but a free match. After a while, a figure suddenly appeared, and it was a young man who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but at the first level of the Martial King realm.


    "Hmm?" The young man saw that there was not a single bit of spirit energy in Di Chen''s body, and frowned: "You''re a warrior?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Half a warrior."


    The youth said with a sneer, "It seems like your strength isn''t that strong. You dare to fight with me like this?"


    Di Chen thought that whoever could enter this mage would sooner or later have to be someone with a haughty personality, and he was too lazy to argue with this young man.


    This was an extreme ice tiger, it lived in the extreme north and was very powerful. Since this youth was able to cultivate this Extreme Earth Tiger into a martial soul, his strength must be pretty good.


    Di Chen then wrote a word order on one of his hands, the word order turning into ripples and dispersing. The Earth Tiger''s movements paused for a moment, and at the same time, the youth''s body could not move at all.


    "My body," the young man looked astonished, unable to break free no matter how hard he tried. "What kind of cultivation technique is this?"


    Di Chen smiled and did not speak, he directly walked in front of the youth and laughed: "Do you want to admit defeat?"


    The youth struggled for a while, but still could not break free. In the end, he could only depress himself. "I admit defeat."


    At the same time, a large amount of pills appeared to help Di Chen to recover his strength. Furthermore, his strength was also increasing by a bit, but it was just that he could not recover the strength of a scholar that he had used up.


    Di Chen did not leave the room. Instead, he waited for ten minutes, and another man entered. This man looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and his face was pretty good.


    The man bowed to Di Chen and said: "Please advise."


    With that, he took out an iron rod and smashed it towards Di Chen, releasing a gust of wind.

 C173

    "Very strong," Di Chen said as he raised his spear to meet the man. The spear collided with the iron rod and bounced the man off with a peng sound.


    The man was startled, but in the next moment he regained his ability to move, and continued to swing his iron rod at Di Chen. He was clearly much stronger than the man before.


    Di Chen wrote the word spear three times, and three pikes shot towards the man. The first pike forced the man to retreat, the second pike cut the iron rod into pieces, and the third pike directly pierced through the man''s body, bringing him flying backwards.


    "So strong." The man was astonished. Although his opponent didn''t seem to have any elemental energy, his cultivation technique was actually so powerful. More importantly, he didn''t feel any fluctuations of elemental energy from his opponent at all.


    Di Chen did not take advantage of the opportunity and said: "Surrender."


    He immediately admitted defeat, and his body disappeared as another pile of prizes appeared in front of Di Chen.


    After 10 minutes, another person entered the room. This time, he was still defeated by Di Chen, and after cultivating for another 10 stops, another person entered the room. Di Chen was still victorious, and in the next period of time, Di Chen continued to fight.


    Several hours later.


    Di Chen''s power as a scholar had finally run out, he did not continue fighting, but instead came out from the room, reading books first to recover his power, then he entered the room to fight.


    "Chi!"


    A man suddenly appeared in front of Di Chen, and Di Chen recognized the man, it was Yu Qianyi.


    "Di Chen?" Yu Qianyi was startled when he saw Di Chen. He admitted that he was not weak, but to be able to match up to Di Chen, showed that Di Chen was also very strong.


    Di Chen was not surprised, and laughed: "So it''s Brother Yu, what a coincidence."


    "That''s right," Yu Qianyi said. "It seems like my reminder earlier was a little excessive. That Ruo Ling is obviously not your opponent."


    To be able to match up to Yu Qianyi Ruo Ling, he naturally could not beat Di Chen!


    Di Chen casually said: "I was only lucky to win, I still need Brother Yu to show mercy."


    Yu Qianyi definitely would not treat Di Chen as a weakling. He smiled and did not speak, but he still extended his hand out and made a inviting gesture, before his spirit energy gushed out. When he punched out, his spirit energy turned into a wave of energy that swept towards Di Chen.


    This move, Yu Qianyi, was obviously only trying to test out Di Chen''s strength. Di Chen immediately moved his hands and character of the spear to welcome the Qi spear, and with a pu sound, both the Qi wave and the spear dispersed.


    Yu Qianyi did not make his move immediately, and laughed: "Although I did not use my full strength in this move, I am not weak either, you are truly powerful, and since that is the case, I will not be merciful."


    "Water Element Fist," Yu Qianyi leaped forward, and between the punches, the sound of flowing water could be heard. Then, another punch landed on Di Chen.


    This time, Di Chen felt as if he was looking at a long river sweeping towards him. To be able to turn his elemental energy into water, this was a water-attribute cultivation technique.


    Di Chen continued to unleash his Spear Arts, but discovered that his spear had actually directly merged into the river, and was completely useless. Thinking that the Spear Arts was not suitable for water type cultivation techniques, he immediately punched the river, the hot energy merging into the water, causing a sizzling sound. The river collapsed, and water splashed in all directions, as white mist floated in the air.


    "This is the fire cultivation technique?" Yu Qianqian could clearly feel a wave of scorching energy. Other than the fire cultivation technique, which couldn''t possibly have such a situation, he didn''t feel Di Chen''s elemental energy fluctuating at all, which made him feel a little strange.


    "Water Sword Spell," Yu Qianyi''s elemental energy transformed into a dozen water swords again, shooting towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen also threw a punch towards the water swords, his strength seemed to be suppressing the water swords, and with each punch, he could easily shatter the water swords, causing splashes all over Di Chen''s face, without causing any damage to Di Chen.


    Although Di Chen''s formula was not suitable to deal with this water attribute cultivation technique, the fiery hot power was just enough to suppress the water attribute cultivation technique.


    "Even the Water Sword Spell is useless?" Yu Qianyi was surprised, this was his most powerful technique.


    "Forget it," Yu Qianyi withdrew his soul force and said with a wry smile. "I never thought that you would be so powerful.


    Di Chen laughed: "You have not used your full strength yet, where are the martial soul?"


    Yu Qianyi sighed: "I have a martial soul, and you also have a martial soul. Even if I use all my strength, I won''t be able to beat you.


    He also knew that his own cultivation method had been suppressed by Di Chen. It could be seen that his opponent had not used all of his strength, so there was no point in continuing to fight.


    In fact, Yu Qianyi did not know that although Di Chen had martial soul s, he would not easily use them. He would not let others know about the martial spirit of light, but what Yu Qianyi said was right, Di Chen had not used his full strength, and although he was strong, but compared to the other people, it was easier for Di Chen to deal with him.


    No matter how much he fought, Yu Qianyi would still lose.


    "I admit defeat," After Yu Qianyi admitted defeat, he disappeared from the room. At this time, a surge of energy entered Di Chen''s body, and this time, Di Chen suddenly felt a burning sensation in his body.


    "The power of the Martial King double stage?" Di Chen was overjoyed, he realized that he had actually broken through a small realm, this was truly strange, previously, Di Chen had used Demonic beast flesh and blood to break through a realm, but who knew that after this battle, his realm would increase even more.


    Di Chen thought that in the following battles, he did not need to use his scholar cultivation technique, he could defeat many people simply with his power alone. He continued to compete, and the following few people were all defeated by Di Chen, his power increasing continuously, although some people were not weak, but facing Di Chen, they did not have any power to resist, and after an hour, Di Chen had already defeated thirty people, accumulating 300 points, it was fast, but Di Chen did not feel exhausted at all.


    Ten minutes later, a woman appeared in front of Di Chen.


    "Jingjing," this time, Di Chen was surprised to discover that he had actually matched up with Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing''s face was also filled with surprise, "Di Chen, how can it be you? It seems like you have won many battles."


    Di Chen laughed, "That''s right, I''ve already defeated 30 people, my points accumulated to 300."


    Liu Jingjing laughed heartily: "I''ve already defeated 40 people, my points accumulated to four hundred, I''ll be able to exchange for the things I want after earning a few more points."


    Di Chen looked at Liu Jingjing weirdly. In truth, Liu Jingjing was even weaker than him, he really did not understand why there were even more people defeated by Liu Jingjing than him.


    In reality, this could also be understood. Di Chen and Liu Jingjing had been together for too long, Liu Jingjing had always been very cute and obedient in front of her, but in reality, Liu Jingjing was not that kind of person. Her attacks were ruthless and would not show mercy like Di Chen.


    Liu Jingjing also did not want to fight with Di Chen, so she smiled: "Then I admit defeat, let''s go out."


    With that, she disappeared from the room, and Di Chen had no intention to fight anymore. Walking out of the room, Liu Jingjing waited for him outside.


    "Oh right," Liu Jingjing asked Di Chen: "Did you have a breakthrough in your cultivation?"


    Di Chen felt his own strength and said, "Right now, I have the strength of a Martial King, but my cultivation level as a scholar has not increased."


    Liu Jingjing said: "After winning each battle, you will be able to increase your spirit energy, and the cultivation of the scholars will not be able to increase, but your rate of improvement seems to be slower, after I win 30 rounds I will be able to break through the Third Level of the Martial King Realm."


    Di Chen was shocked, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, Di Chen''s cultivation was different from normal warriors, and since the system matched up to Di Chen and Liu Jingjing, then the default Di Chen also had Liu Jingjing''s strength.


    If Di Chen truly fought with Liu Jingjing, Liu Jingjing would definitely lose. However, fighting and cultivating seemed to be beneficial to normal warriors, but towards Di Chen who absorbed Demonic beast flesh and blood to increase his strength, the effect wasn''t as strong as he imagined.


    Qin Er had not come out yet, and the two of them rested for a while before preparing to continue fighting. But this time, Liu Jingjing discovered that she was unable to enter the room, because Liu Jingjing had already broken through the Third Level of the Martial King Realm, and could no longer stay on the first floor. The reason she could fight earlier was because she had not come out from the room the entire time, and the system would try its best to match people who were on par with her, since there were many who had won dozens of battles consecutively like her this time.


    When Di Chen entered the room, there was no corresponding opponent, which meant that there were no longer any opponents for him on the first floor, so he could only retreat.


    "I''m currently in the Third Level of the Martial King Realm, so I''ll probably have to go to the third floor for my activities."


    Liu Jingjing laughed, this way of training was much faster than outside.


    Di Chen analyzed his own strength and said, "My strength is in the Martial King double stage, so if I am unable to match up with my opponent in this first level, I should be able to enter the second level as well."


    Actually, with Di Chen''s current strength, he could go to the third floor, but the third floor was relatively more dangerous. Since Di Chen had the qualifications to stay at the second floor, he naturally wouldn''t be so stupid as to go to the third floor.


    The two of them were waiting for Qin Er outside. When she walked out ten minutes later, Di Chen could tell that she had broken through to the Martial King level.


    "How is it?" Di Chen asked.


    Qin Er said excitedly: "Cultivating here is indeed faster than cultivating outside. I broke through the Martial King''s double stage after winning dozens of rounds, and I think I can breakthrough the triple stage after fighting a few more rounds. Di Chen, Jingjing, what about you two?"


    As long as you win one battle, it will be enough. Therefore, to someone like Qin Er who has strength but no talent, it is the best place to cultivate. However, her battle experience is lacking, and is still lacking compared to Liu Jingjing.


    Di Chen laughed: "My strength has also broken through to the Martial King realm, but my cultivation level has not increased. Jingjing already has her Third Level of the Martial King Realm."


    "So fast," Qin Er said as she looked at Liu Jingjing with an envious expression.


    How could Liu Jingjing not see through her thoughts? She smiled and did not speak.


    In truth, although Qin Er was slightly lower in terms of realm and cultivation speed, Qin Er''s strength was not any weaker than Liu Jingjing''s. She was only cultivating at a slower pace.

    "Ruo Ling, you''ve gone too far!" At this moment, the sound of arguing suddenly came from afar.


    curiously looked over when he heard the name. In the distance, Yu Qianyi and Ruo Ling seemed to have clashed, and beside them, there was a man with not a single hair on his body. This man was actually at the level of Third Level of the Martial King Realm, holding a forced battle order in his hand.


    "It''s him again," Di Chen frowned, he had wanted to deal with Di Chen earlier, but he misjudged Di Chen''s strength and let Di Chen destroy the martial soul.


    Qin Er thought for a while and said: "This man has also helped us before. Di Chen, let''s go take a look."


    Di Chen had a pretty good impression of Yu Qianyi, adding that he had indeed helped Di Chen before, Di Chen couldn''t just watch him send himself to his death, so he walked over.


    "Brother Yu," Di Chen greeted with a smile, "What happened?"


    Yu Qianyi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Di Chen, pointed at Ruo Ling and said: "He blames me for spoiling his good plan earlier, and wanted to seek revenge on me so that this Hei Yu can kill me. I''ve already given them all my points, but I didn''t expect him to go back on his words."


    admitted that he was not his opponent''s match, so he had no choice but to give them his points. The agreement was that as long as they were given all their points, they would not need to use their own fighting spirit, but Yu Qianyi never expected that their opponent would go back on his words.


    Di Chen had not thought that this Compulsory Combat Medallion would have such an effect, he looked at Ruo Ling teasingly, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Seems like you haven''t received enough lessons yet."


    "It''s you again," Ruo Ling became angry when she thought about how Di Chen had destroyed the martial soul. He looked at the man beside him and said: "Big Brother Hei Yu, it was this guy that destroyed my martial soul. You must avenge me."


    "You?" Hei Yu''s gaze fell upon Di Chen, who had no elemental energy in his body, and did not look like a strong warrior. Hei Yu immediately revealed a hint of ridicule, squinted his eyes and said: "How dare you, actually dare to destroy Ru Ling''s martial soul."


    Di Chen laughed lightly: "He insisted on following me in, if you have to blame someone, you can only blame yourself."


    Hei Yu sneered: "You are quite arrogant, I originally wanted to use this compulsory battle order on Yu Qianyi, it''s good that you came, so let''s let you die in their place."


    Previously, Ruo Ling was not convinced ever since Di Chen destroyed the martial soul, and had to think of all ways to make Hei Yu take revenge for his. Originally, he wanted to find Di Chen, but previously, Di Chen had always been fighting, and he could not find him. Instead, he saw Yu Qianyi, and Yu Qianyi had also prevented him from baiting Di Chen.


    When Yu Qianyi heard this, his expression immediately changed and he said hurriedly, "Di Chen, be careful. This fellow''s Third Level of the Martial King Realm is not something that the rest of us from the first floor can compare to."


    Di Chen said indifferently: "He has the forced battle order, even if I wanted to escape, I would not be able to do anything."


    Actually, Di Chen already had four hundred points, he could buy a badge to cancel the forced battle order, but Di Chen did not want to do that, it would be a waste of points.


    Yu Qianyi saw that Di Chen seemed to be very relaxed, and thought that maybe Di Chen had the confidence to deal with him, but since this Hei Yu was a Third Level of the Martial King Realm, Yu Qianyi didn''t have much confidence in him.


    Hei Yu laughed coldly: "Don''t pretend to be relaxed in front of me. This way, if you give me all of your points, I won''t kill you."


    Di Chen laughed: "Just now, you have already lied about Brother Yu''s points, and now you want to deceive me in the same way, do you think I would believe you?"


    Hei Yu said in a playful tone, "It doesn''t matter if you believe me or not, because you have no other choice. As long as I have this Forced Battle Token, I can immediately let you compete with me, and after obtaining this Forced Battle Token, you can''t admit defeat after 10 minutes, 10 minutes is more than enough time for me to kill you."


    Di Chen disapproved and said: "I cannot admit defeat within ten minutes, and so can you. I think you should give me all of your points, and I will let you live, how about it?"


    Hearing this, Hei Yu was stunned at first, then he started laughing loudly, causing the spectators around him to be speechless.


    This Hei Yu is a Third Level of the Martial King Realm, he could not even match his opponent on the first floor of the wizard tower, so he still wants to threaten Hei Yu? "


    "That''s right, and Hei Yu passed the twenty trials while he was still in the trial, so he was the first one to pass the twenty trials. How could this guy possibly be Hei Yu''s match?"


    The crowd burst into discussion.


    After hearing everything, Di Chen realized that Hei Yu was much stronger than he thought, but he was still not worried.


    Hei Yu satisfyingly heard everyone''s smiles, looked at Di Chen and said: "Have you thought it through? Give me your points, I can spare your life."


    Di Chen said: "I can give you these words, give me your points, I can spare your life."


    "You''re looking to die," Hei Yu saw that Di Chen was stubborn and immediately changed his expression, immediately using a forced battle order, and the two of them disappeared.


    Qin Er, Liu Jingjing and the rest were still outside the room.


    It seemed that Ruo Ling was very confident in Hei Yu, and said with a cold smile: "This guy is simply courting death."


    Qin Er snorted: "You are underestimating Di Chen, his realm is not as strong as that person, but ordinary people with Third Level of the Martial King Realm cannot beat Di Chen, I think that guy also just broke through his Third Level of the Martial King Realm."


    Ruo Ling originally thought that Di Chen was just putting on an act, but now, Di Chen had already entered the house, but Qin Er and the rest were still confident, it did not seem like he was putting on an act. When Ruo Ling saw how she believed in Di Chen, a sense of unease rose up in her heart, but she still did not believe that Hei Yu would lose.


    "This is my last chance," Hei Yu still wanted to get more points.


    Di Chen was too lazy to speak anymore, he simply formed a seal with his hand and the word spear flew towards Hei Yu, and in the process of floating in the air, the word spear turned into a spear that shot forward.


    Hei Yu looked at the spear curiously. He did not feel any of the elemental energy in Di Chen''s body, so he did not think that the spear was that strong.


    Bang!


    Hei Yu only felt as if he had been struck by a powerful force and his entire body was instantly sent flying.


    "So strong?" Hei Yu crawled up hurriedly. Although this strike did not cause too much damage to him, the power was completely beyond his imagination.


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "If I had used all of my power just now, you would already be a dead person. Don''t be careless anymore, giving the points to me is not just acting."


    Hei Yu had used a probing technique just now, but wasn''t Di Chen the same as well?


    "It looks like you''re a little stronger than I thought," Hei Yu finally realised how powerful his opponent was and didn''t dare to be careless. His spirit energy gushed out and his palm shone brightly as he threw out a palm that was a few feet long like Di Chen, "Pure Yang Palm."


    Di Chen immediately took out three pieces of paper with the word "spear" written on them and threw them out. The power of the scholars gushed into the paper and the three spears shot towards the palm print.


    "Seems like I won''t be able to kill you with these normal moves," with a flip of one hand, a black greatsword materialized in Hei Yu''s hand.


    Di Chen could instantly feel that the sword was very strong. He immediately wrote a word of protection and the word of protection turned into a barrier that surrounded Di Chen''s body.


    Hei Yu''s sword struck the word guard, the powerful force directly forced Di Chen to retreat a few steps, the barrier was slightly damaged, but it was not broken.


    "Impossible," Hei Yu said in shock. He knew very well how powerful his sword was, and how few Third Level of the Martial King Realm s could resist it.


    In fact, relying on pure strength to break through formula s was extremely difficult. It was easy for Cao Yuer to use green turbid poison from it previously, but for powerful techniques, there would always be a way to counter it.


    "It''s my turn," said Di Chen as he began to write a word. The word ''freeze'' then transformed into a ripple and spread throughout his body. Hei Yu''s body paused for a moment before he was unable to move.


    "Not good," Hei Yu''s face changed, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He injured himself by forcing himself to struggle free from Di Chen''s Steady formula, and then used his sword to slash at the spear. Because he did not struggle in time, he was still forced back a few steps by the force of the attack.


    When Di Chen was training the fixed formula and Spear Arts, their power had already failed to keep up with the Martial King Realm. Although their lethality towards ordinary people may be very strong, their strength was limited when facing off against Third Level of the Martial King Realm practitioners.


    "So close." Hei Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "The cultivation technique just now was really mystical, it actually allowed me to injure my own body before I could struggle free. But since you didn''t even kill me after obtaining such a good opportunity, I won''t give you another chance."


    Di Chen did not take the opportunity to give chase and laughed: "Why would I take your points after killing you, this time I will not be lenient."


    After saying that, Di Chen used the formula s to cover his body, and then took a step towards Hei Yu, throwing a punch at him.


    Once again, Hei Yu raised his sword and slashed at Di Chen''s enchantment barrier, with a loud bang, the enchantment did not break, and Di Chen took the chance to punch Hei Yu in the chest.


    Hei Yu only felt as if he was struck in the chest by a small mountain. At the same time, a surge of heat entered his body and he was sent flying.


    "fire cultivation technique?" Hei Yu''s expression changed, this was the first time he had been injured so badly, and he tried to attack again with his sword, but he was unable to break through Di Chen''s barrier. Instead, he was hit by Di Chen multiple times, and every time he was beaten to the point of spitting blood, Hei Yu was finally unable to take it anymore.


    Hei Yu tapped the center of his brows, and a scarlet red sword flew out. With lightning speed, the sword shot towards Di Chen.


    The Sword Martial Spirit had directly nailed itself onto Di Chen''s barrier. Di Chen''s barrier was already on the verge of collapse, but it did not manage to withstand a single strike from the Sword Martial Spirit. It turned into specks of starlight and disappeared.


    "You actually forced me to use the martial soul. You are amazing, I do not need your points anymore, today I will kill you."


    Hei Yu was infuriated by Di Chen, he didn''t even plan on taking more points, he only wanted to kill Di Chen and so the Sword Martial Spirit shot over once again.


    "I told you before that you wouldn''t be able to kill me," Di Chen said with a still relaxed expression, and took the opportunity to grab the Sword Martial Spirit with his hand. A wave of heat rushed into the Sword Martial Spirit, and even the Sword Martial Spirit was unable to withstand the heat from Di Chen''s body, instantly transforming into an aura and dissipating.

 C175

    "My martial soul," Hei Yu''s face changed. If the martial soul was destroyed, how could he fight against others?


    Hei Yu seemed to have lost his mind, he crazily rushed towards Di Chen and used his sword to slash at him.


    How could he possibly win against Di Chen? After being punched by Di Chen once again, Hei Yu no longer had the ability to move, and could only lie on the ground and not move.


    Di Chen walked over, picked up Hei Yu''s sword, and laughed: "I already said that you''re not my opponent, but you just didn''t believe me. You asked for it yourself, you can''t blame me."


    He calculated the time and said, "There are still five minutes. Are you willing to give me your points or are you willing to let me torture you for five more minutes before killing you?"


    "You," Hei Yu scolded loudly in anger, "You are so malicious. If you dare to treat my sister like this, my sister will definitely not let you off."


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "I have already heavily injured you, even if I do not treat you like this your sister will still not let me off, so stop using your sister to threaten me, if you want points you will still die."


    "I ¡­" Hei Yu still wanted to threaten Di Chen.


    Di Chen did not wait for him to finish speaking before he stabbed the sword into Hei Yu''s thigh.


    "You," Hei Yu didn''t think that Di Chen would be so vicious, he attacked as soon as he wanted to, and he was so angry that he couldn''t even speak. He clenched his teeth and took out his Mage Token, saying: "I''ll give you the points, spare my life."


    Even though the martial soul was destroyed, Hei Yu was still afraid of death. As long as he was alive, he would have the chance to cultivate the martial soul again.


    Di Chen laughed, and then moved the sword away. At this time, Hei Yu transferred all the points from the order badge to Di Chen, he had a total of 150 points, seems like he had only won 15 matches, thus Di Chen had 450 points.


    "So little." Di Chen frowned, he wanted to buy the¡¶ On the Sky¡·, this point was not enough, Di Chen thought that he could also purchase a forced battle order to steal other people''s points, this was easier than fighting one battle at a time.


    Ruo Ling and Di Chen had already been in the room for a few minutes, but there was no news of the two of them. The people outside were all curious, thinking that with Hei Yu''s strength, he should have already killed them.


    "Hei Yu''s methods are too cruel, I don''t know why he''s still being tortured at this time."


    When Ruo Ling thought about how Hei Yu was tormenting Di Chen, she became excited, looked at Qin Er and Liu Jingjing fiercely and said: "Wait till Brother Hei Yu kills that person, then you two will be the one."


    Yu Qianyi was a little worried, but Qin Er and Liu Jingjing were not worried at all, and did not bother to respond to Ruo Ling.


    "Your big brother Hei Yu has lost his chance. He will probably kill you when he comes out."


    At this moment, a playful voice was heard.


    Ruo Ling was startled to see Di Chen coming out unharmed. "You''re not dead?"


    Di Chen could not be bothered with him, he looked at Yu Qianyi and laughed: "Brother Yu, everything is fine now, that''s right, how many points did you get?"


    Yu Qianyi smiled bitterly: "Actually, it''s not much. It''s just fifty points. I''ve only won five matches."


    Di Chen thought that fifty was not a lot, although he needed a lot of points right now, but he did not care about that point. He took the order and smiled: "I just robbed him of all his points, these 50 points will be returned to you."


    Yu Qianyi was stunned at first, but after that, he revealed a face of pleasant surprise. He really did not think that not only was Di Chen not robbed of his points, he had actually stolen Hei Yu''s points.


    Even Hei Yu was defeated?


    Di Chen returned 50 points to Yu Qianyi, and laughed: "We still have some things to do, so we''ll be leaving first."


    Saying that, he left with Qin Er and Liu Jingjing. Yu Qianyi stared at Di Chen''s back blankly, thinking how could this Di Chen be so powerful.


    Just then, Hei Yu walked out, his injuries had already healed, but his face was ugly.


    "Big Brother Hei Yu," Ruo Ling walked over and asked anxiously, "How is it?"


    Hei Yu slapped Ruo Ling hard and immediately sent Ruo Ling flying with a heavy slap. He said angrily, "Are you trying to kill me?"


    Ruo Ling did not expect Hei Yu to suddenly be so angry, and complained: "Big brother Hei Yu, what exactly happened?"


    Hei Yu didn''t speak and directly went to the fourth floor of the wizard tower.


    Looking at Hei Yu''s furious expression, everyone knew that Hei Yu had lost a lot of things this time.


    To be able to find her way here meant that she was at the fourth level of the Martial King realm. If Di Chen was here, he would definitely be surprised, because she was the Luo Yumeng that Di Chen had met before, who was also the successor to the Shanghai Sword Pavilion.


    Beside Luo Yumeng was Li You. Li You looked at him with anger, it seemed like she had suffered a big loss just now.


    "Your strength is not bad," Luo Yumeng laughed. "But you are finally only at the fourth level of the Martial King realm now. If I want to fight him, I will need at least a few months of cultivation."


    Li You said coldly: "You stole all of my points, I will get it back."


    Luo Yumeng laughed out loud, "You''re welcome at any time, but I won''t be this polite next time. If you want to take revenge on me, you better think carefully whether or not you have the ability to do so."


    Li You didn''t say a word as she turned around to leave. Previously, she had met with Luo Yumeng, but she had not killed her, but had taken all of her points.


    Luo Yumeng did not mind Li You coming to take revenge. She was the heir to the Shanghai Sword Pavilion and had not used all of her power just now, so Li You was definitely not her match.


    At this time, Hei Yu ran over to Luo Yumeng''s side and said while clenching her teeth: "Earlier, someone stole all my points, you must take revenge for me."


    Luo Yumeng frowned: "What exactly happened?"


    Hei Yu repeated what happened just now.


    Luo Yumeng was startled, she knew Hei Yu was not weak, but how could he lose so badly?


    "What cultivation level is that person at?" Luo Yumeng asked.


    Hei Yu shook his head: "This guy is a little evil, when he uses his cultivation technique, there is no movement of spirit energy. I cannot tell what realm he is in, but his power is exceptionally strong, at least not inferior to Third Level of the Martial King Realm."


    A strange cultivation method without any Origin Energy fluctuations?


    Luo Yumeng was suddenly startled, she had also met such a person before, the opponent was a literati, but his power was extremely strong, could it be him?


    "Tell me more about his cultivation technique." Luo Yumeng hurriedly said.


    Hei Yu described Di Chen''s and Spear Arts.


    After Luo Yumeng heard this, her face immediately darkened. Who else knew of this cultivation technique other than Di Chen?


    That day, Luo Yumeng''s two friends were killed by Di Chen, so she went to seek revenge. Unexpectedly, she was also injured, and the Shanghai Sword Pavilion''s command medallion was also lost, so during this period of time, she had been searching for Di Chen. However, she couldn''t find him at all, and never expected to bump into him within the wizard tower s.


    "Bring me there," Meng Yu Meng said coldly. This time, she would kill Di Chen.


    Di Chen, Qin Er and Liu Jingjing went to the commodity exchange area.


    Qin Er asked doubtfully: "Di Chen, what exactly do you want to buy?"


    Di Chen exchanged for a forced battle order and laughed: "This forced battle order can force the opponent to fight and threaten them to hand over all their points, I learned it from the person just now."


    Di Chen wanted to buy¡¶ On the Sky¡·, but that book required 2000 points. If he only relied on fighting, he would need to win at least two hundred matches, but actually, it was not impossible for him to win two hundred matches in three months. But it was too much of a waste of time, so Di Chen silently thought that it would be much easier to exchange for a forced fighting order, since he would be able to obtain a lot of points.


    He only had three hundred points, which was very far from the two thousand point mark. Furthermore, the things Qin Er and Liu Jingjing wanted to buy were not cheap, so she could only rely on this method to earn money.


    Liu Jingjing found it interesting and chuckled: "This is too shameless, why don''t I exchange one too?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "No need, just one is enough, this fighting order is just to force them to hand over their points, I believe that the average person will not risk their life."


    There weren''t many people that knew how to fight who was stronger than them. Most people would obediently hand over their points, so they didn''t need to use this kind of compulsory battle order.


    "Oh yeah," Di Chen suddenly remembered the discussions of the people around him, and asked: "I heard that Hei Yu had passed the 20th level."


    Liu Jingjing explained: "I just heard from someone that every floor of the wizard tower has a clearing floor, and every floor is stronger than every other. Every floor will receive a reward, including pellets and points.


    "Earthly item?" Di Chen was shocked, wizard tower s could only use Martial King Realm and profound artifacts on normal occasions, and actually had the chance to obtain an Earth weapon?


    However, that Earth Grade equipment was not that easy to obtain. It was already difficult to obtain a Superior Grade Xuan Artifact.


    Then, Di Chen, Qin Er and the rest went to the place where the challenge was held. The challenge was in the southeast corner of the first floor, which was a very small door. Di Chen noticed that there was a ranking beside the door.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Di Chen, passing the first floor can earn you a lot of points, you should go in and try it, but be careful, I heard that passing the next floor is very dangerous, so every floor has to wait for at least ten minutes before you admit defeat."


    Normally, a martial artist''s battle was very quick and could be decided with a single move. However, to challenge the first stage of a battle, one would need at least 10 minutes. If one couldn''t admit defeat within 10 minutes, then wouldn''t it be very dangerous?


    Di Chen hesitated for a moment before smiling: "I''ll go in and try, you guys wait for me outside."


    Di Chen was afraid that Liu Jingjing and Qin Er would be in danger, so he went in to see how difficult it was.


    The two of them nodded, and told Di Chen to be more careful. Only then did Di Chen enter the trial level, and the two of them waited outside.


    "It''s them," An angry voice came from behind Di Chen not long after he entered.


    Liu Jingjing turned around and saw Hei Yu returning, and he was also bringing a woman, this woman gave Di Chen a very dangerous feeling, and somberness filled his eyes.

 C176

    "It''s you," Qin Er also saw Luo Yumeng. Earlier, both she and Di Chen were almost killed by Luo Yumeng, how could she not remember this woman? Furthermore, Di Chen said that Luo Yumeng was the heir of one of the top ten ancient sects, the Shanghai Sword Pavilion.


    Liu Jingjing was startled: "You know her."


    Qin Er described everything that happened at mountain in a simple manner. When Liu Jingjing heard this, her expression immediately darkened. She hated people who threatened Di Chen the most.


    "It''s really you two," Luo Yumeng became angry when she thought about how she was injured by Di Chen earlier, but she could not move against the outside of the wizard tower, otherwise she would definitely kill them.


    Hei Yu thought that since even Luo Yumeng was so angry, it seems that he had interacted with them before, and maybe even suffered a loss before. He asked doubtfully: "Big sister, do you know them?


    Luo Yumeng was silent for a moment before explaining, "Chen Ying was killed by them."


    "What?" Hei Yu was surprised, he had heard Luo Yumeng talking about this matter before. When Chen Ying was killed, her Third Level of the Martial King Realm was much stronger than the current Hei Yu.


    Hei Yu felt a lingering fear, luckily it was the wizard tower, they could use their points to exchange for his life, if it was outside, he would definitely die.


    Luo Yumeng stared at Qin Er and said: "That Di Chen, let him out."


    Liu Jingjing pointed to the trial grounds and said: "He''s inside. If you want to take revenge, you can come and find me."


    Although Luo Yumeng was only at the fourth stage of the Martial King Realm, Liu Jingjing was not afraid. It was just that Liu Jingjing did not have much confidence.


    Hei Yu could not wait any longer: "Big sister, they deserve to die anyway, we''ll talk after you kill them all."


    Luo Yumeng waved her hand, looked at the person who passed the trial and said: "Let''s talk after he comes out, I still have something important to do."


    Luo Yumeng did not just want to kill Di Chen, her order badge had previously been snatched away by Di Chen and her identity was also found out by him. She wanted to know if Di Chen had told anyone else or not, and she still wanted to snatch the order badge back.


    No one could know of the identity of the successor of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, if they knew, one would have to die.


    "Eldest young mistress, it''s better to kill ¡­" But Hei Yu was already impatient, he still wanted to persuade his again.


    Luo Yumeng looked over coldly, her killing intent gushing out, causing Hei Yu to quickly swallow his words. Not daring to speak anymore, he waited for them outside.


    The first thing Di Chen saw when he entered the trial level was an empty plain. Endless green grass, as if it were another space. This place was indeed different from other places.


    At this time, a man suddenly appeared in front of Di Chen. The man was dressed in white, with a spear in his hand, he did not say a word, and thrusted his spear at Di Chen.


    "Freeze!" With that, Di Chen''s body froze, he did not move, following that, Di Chen''s handwritten word for spear floated over, the word transformed into a spear that pierced the man, with a shout the man disappeared, followed by a few pills appearing in front of Di Chen. Di Chen kept the pills, he realised that he had gained 5 points from the Mage Token, looks like he could obtain at least 5 points in one round.


    Di Chen thought that this level was not that difficult, and he did not know what the next level would be like.


    Just then, the scene in front of Di Chen suddenly changed. The Green Prairie had turned into a desert, the scorching sun hung in the sky, Di Chen was drenched in sweat from the heat.


    "Aren''t these fake?" Di Chen originally thought that these scenes were just illusions, but he never thought that it would be so real.


    Behind him was a huge centipede. This centipede had scarlet scales on its back and two wings on its back, it was a Two-winged Centipede. The Two-winged Centipede was a Level Two Demonic King.


    Di Chen noticed that the man seemed to be stronger than the previous one. The man pointed at Di Chen with one hand and the two-winged centipede pounced towards Di Chen.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen berated, and the two-winged centipede stopped in front of Di Chen. Then, Di Chen used his hand to write a spear word to float over, the spear word became a long spear and pierced through the six-winged centipede.


    With Di Chen''s current cultivation level, a Demonic King of the second level was completely useless against him.


    When the man saw that the Two-Winged Centipede was actually killed, without any movement, he smashed it with his hammers. Di Chen immediately used his hand to write a spear to pierce through the man, winning the battle was still very easy, and the following battles were all like this. Di Chen passed the test and quickly reached the 20th floor.


    Earlier, when Di Chen heard that Hei Yu had passed the twentieth floor, he failed on the twenty-first floor.


    "Him?" This time, Di Chen was surprised to discover that the person who appeared before him was Hei Yu. It was just that this Hei Yu was expressionless, as if he was a puppet.


    Hei Yu struck his palm towards Di Chen, the fiery power transforming into a huge palm pressing towards him.


    "Pure Yang Palm?" was startled. Earlier, Hei Yu had used this move to deal with Di Chen, and his strength seemed to be about as strong as Hei Yu''s.


    Di Chen immediately wrote a word of protection, the word of protection turned into a barrier that enveloped Di Chen, causing Hei Yu''s huge palm to slap onto Di Chen''s body, causing the barrier to tremble, but the barrier did not crumble.


    Di Chen seemed to have a faint understanding of the situation of the wizard tower. When Hei Yu reached the twentieth floor, then Hei Yu''s afterimage would be that of a guardian on the twentieth floor. In other words, the people Di Chen had defeated were all people who had passed the trial.


    Di Chen immediately took out a few pieces of paper with the word "spear" written on it, the power of the scholars gushed into the paper, and shot out spears from the pieces of paper, falling onto Hei Yu like rain.


    Hei Yu took out a red Spirit Sword and slashed at the pikes. Every sword attack of his was able to scatter the attacks of the long spear. Previously, Hei Yu was the most powerful with his sword, but he never thought that the afterimage would also be able to appear.


    Di Chen took a step forward, quickly appearing in front of Hei Yu. He fiercely smashed his fist on Hei Yu''s chest, this punch directly pierced through Hei Yu, and with a whoosh, turned into a gust of Qi and disappeared.


    "It seems like my formula will be useless after this." Ever since Di Chen had swallowed the Fire demonic beast''s beast core, his martial artist''s power had been much stronger than the scholar''s. Thus, he could only use the brute strength to fight on the tower afterwards.


    "Twenty-one?" The top of the rankings was Hei Yu, who had passed a total of twenty floors, and now that Hei Yu''s position had been pushed down, it was replaced by Di Chen, and it had only been half an hour, and Di Chen had actually passed it so quickly?


    Hei Yu looked at Di Chen who was at the top of the rankings and said, "It wasn''t easy for me to get to the twentieth floor, and he already surpassed me so quickly?"


    Liu Jingjing and Qin Er were not surprised at all. This was only the first floor of a tower, so it was naturally nothing to Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s ranking continued to rise, but after that, it became slower. It was likely that the opponents Di Chen faced were getting stronger and stronger.


    After half an hour, Di Chen actually reached the thirtieth floor, but at this time, the number of levels he had passed through did not increase. Finally, the door opened, and Di Chen walked out.


    "Di Chen," Liu Jingjing immediately walked over after seeing Di Chen, and said happily: "You''re out, how is it?"


    Di Chen laughed: I have already passed the thirtieth floor, and from the beginning, the difficulty has increased by a level, I did not have confidence, so I simply came out, but I gave you a lot of opportunities, so I earned a total of 100 points.


    Di Chen had also barely won the battle on the thirtieth floor. He could continue to challenge the thirty-first floor, but if he failed now, he would die without a doubt. For the sake of safety, Di Chen did not continue to challenge the thirty-first floor.


    "Di Chen," Qin Er said as he nodded his head, "Look."


    Di Chen was startled when he saw Luo Yumeng. "It''s you?"


    "She is my big sister Luo Yumeng, a 4th Layer Martial King. I advise you to take out all of your points, maybe we can spare your life."


    Hei Yu threatened Luo Yumeng without waiting for him to speak.


    Di Chen was too lazy to care about Hei Yu, he looked at Luo Yumeng and laughed: "It took me so much trouble to earn these points, it is impossible for me to give them to you."


    Luo Yumeng stared at Di Chen for a while before saying: "Come with me, I have something to say to you alone."


    As if she didn''t give Di Chen the chance to reject her, she immediately retreated to the side.


    Hei Yu was startled, and thought, what do they have to say?


    "Di Chen, don''t go," Liu Jingjing said in fear. She was afraid that Di Chen might be in danger.


    Di Chen laughed: "Don''t worry, I can roughly guess what she wants to say. It''s fine."


    After he finished speaking, he followed Luo Yumeng and the two of them came to a corner.


    Di Chen looked at Luo Yumeng and said: "You want to take back that order badge?"


    Luo Yumeng thought for a while and said: "Seems like you also know about the ten great ancient sects, have you told anyone else about this?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "No, your matter has nothing to do with me."


    Luo Yumeng stared at Di Chen for a long time, as if she was trying to see if Di Chen was lying. In the end, she confirmed that Di Chen was not lying, and said: "Alright, give me the order badge, I won''t kill you."


    Di Chen laughed: You have already changed your fighting order, it''s hard to be sure that you won''t kill me, furthermore, I have already killed Chen Ying and the rest, I think you won''t let this go easily, it''s safer for me to use that order.


    First of all, Di Chen knew the identity of the person who killed Luo Yumeng. The identity of the successor of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion was too dangerous, if others were to find out, the consequences would be unimaginable. How could Luo Yumeng allow Di Chen to live?


    What Luo Yumeng hated the most was others threatening her. She looked at him coldly and said: "Di Chen, don''t force me.


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "You are only at the fourth level of the Martial King realm. Do you think you can kill so many of us? Furthermore, even if you kill us, you will never get back your order badge. You are the descendant of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, so you should know the consequences if you lose your order badge. "


    "You ¡­" Luo Yu was so angry that he couldn''t say anything, but she couldn''t do anything about it. Since Di Chen knew that he was the descendant of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, it meant that he was very clear about the matters of the ancient top ten sects.

 C177

    It was just that this Shanghai Sword Pavilion badge was too important to Luo Yumeng, and she really could not lose it.


    "Di Chen," Luo Yumeng said anxiously, "what exactly do you want?"


    If there was someone who dared to threaten her before, she would definitely kill him. However, facing Di Chen, she did not have any confidence at all.


    Di Chen laughed: "I will not give you the order badge for now, leave it with me, when I find out that you no longer have any intent to kill me, I will naturally return it to you."


    He thought for a moment and said, "Of course, I won''t tell anyone else your identity. Also, I''m a student of the Famous Sword Academy, you can come and find me anytime."


    Right now, Di Chen had guaranteed that he would not reveal her identity, and even more so, his identity. This way, it could be considered as a reassurance to Luo Yumeng, at least after knowing Di Chen''s identity, she would not immediately kill him.


    At first, Luo Yumeng was very angry, but after hearing Di Chen''s identity, she calmed down and was silent for a long while before saying: "Alright then, I agree to it, but this will take a period of time, I cannot continue waiting."


    Di Chen thought that he could not blindly make requests, otherwise, he would only be completely infuriating Luo Yumeng. He thought for a moment, then nodded: "Two years then."


    was currently at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm, and there was a faint possibility of his being able to break through to the fifth level. was at the first level of the Scholar Realm, and her strength was at the Third Level of the Martial King Realm, so although her strength was stronger than many others, he was still nothing to Luo Yumeng. Di Chen simply did not have any confidence in surpassing her, so giving his two years of time, Di Chen believed that he would definitely be able to surpass Luo Yumeng within two years, even if there was a force behind her, he did not have to worry.


    "Two years?" Luo Yumeng frowned, the span of two years seemed to be a little long, but it was actually not much for warriors.


    Luo Yumeng thought for a while and agreed: "Alright, then two years. If you don''t give me the order badge or if you reveal my identity to me after two years, I will kill you."


    "Alright," Di Chen laughed, thinking that if you knew my true identity, you would probably kill me right now.


    The Ancient Ten Great Sects continued to fight, and the battle between the Shanghai Sword Pavilion and Eternal Gate was extremely intense. When the successors of the two sects meet, they would naturally fight to the death.


    Right, "Di Chen suddenly saw a familiar sword in Luo Yumeng''s hand, and asked curiously:" That sword is my senior sister Li You''s sword right?


    Previously, when Di Chen and Li You were moving together in the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, Di Chen had seen this sword before, but now that it was in Luo Yumeng''s hands, he could not help but feel that something was wrong.


    Luo Yumeng looked at the sword in her hand, and said: "I don''t know her name, but she is a very powerful woman. I stole her sword and points, but I didn''t kill her."


    Hearing Luo Yumeng''s description, Di Chen knew that it was Li You, and said: "This is my senior sister, she is also a member of Famous Sword Academy, I hope that you can return her points and sword."


    Luo Yumeng said angrily: "Di Chen, don''t go too far, this is a wizard tower, stealing points is a very normal thing, you want me to return it to her with just one word, no matter who I snatch the points from, you want me to return it to him?"


    Many among the wizard tower threatened them not to kill each other to hand over their points, which was a very normal thing. Just now, Di Chen had stolen all of Hei Yu''s points, requiring him to pay even more points.


    Di Chen could threaten Luo Yumeng to do something, but he could not go overboard either, otherwise he would only anger her.


    He compromised and said, "You can keep the points. You should be able to return the sword to her, right?"


    Luo Yumeng then dispelled her anger and threw the sword back to Di Chen. Di Chen kept the sword and returned to Liu Jingjing''s side.


    Liu Jingjing asked anxiously: "Di Chen, she didn''t do anything to you right?"


    Di Chen laughed: "What can she do to me, we have already agreed on the conditions, let''s go to the second floor."


    Seeing that Di Chen was truly uninjured, Qin Er and Liu Jingjing heaved a sigh of relief, but the two did not ask further, and followed Di Chen out.


    He had originally hoped that Luo Yumeng could kill them, but in the end Luo Yumeng had actually let them go?


    "Big sister, why didn''t you kill them?" He had lost all his points, and couldn''t wait to kill Di Chen now.


    Luo Yumeng coldly looked at Hei Yu for a while, and said: "Forget about this matter, in the future, you should avoid provoking them."


    "But ¡­" Hei Yu was still not resigned. He still wanted to say it.


    At this time, a burst of killing intent surged, Hei Yu felt that Luo Yumeng seemed to have the intent to kill him, her face changed and she swallowed her words, not daring to speak again.


    Luo Yumeng did not say much and went back to the fourth floor to continue cultivating.


    Liu Jingjing had already broken through her Third Level of the Martial King Realm and could go to the third floor to fight. Although it was more dangerous, she would still get more chances. In fact, Di Chen could also go to the third floor for activities, but Di Chen''s cultivation was still only at the first stage of the Scholar Realm.


    Di Chen nodded: "Then you should be careful. After I break through, I''ll reunite with you."


    Liu Jingjing went to the third floor while Qin Er and Di Chen stayed on the second floor.


    After Liu Jingjing went to the third floor, she did not immediately enter her room to fight. Instead, she looked around and finally found the person she was looking for!


    Cao Yuer!


    "It''s you," Cao Yuer said coldly while staring at Liu Jingjing: "I didn''t expect you to cultivate so quickly, what are you doing here?"


    Liu Jingjing said calmly: "That day, when I went to Thousand Monster Mountain with Di Chen, I don''t know if Di Chen saved your sister or not, but I know that it wasn''t his fault. Di Chen advised your sister, but she trusted the wrong person, and she didn''t save Di Chen when she saw that he was in danger."


    Cao Yuer never thought that Liu Jingjing would come to be her lobbyist, and this made her even more angry. She snorted: "On that day, when we first met at the Ten Thousand Mountain Demon Group, Di Chen was opposing you and was my friend, but now, it is you who is speaking up for Di Chen, and I actually wanted to kill Di Chen, things are truly unpredictable."


    Previously, Di Chen and Cao Yuer''s relationship was very good, but Liu Jingjing and Di Chen could barely be considered enemies. But now that Liu Jingjing had helped Di Chen in such a manner, she had become Di Chen''s enemy.


    When Liu Jingjing said this, his eyes revealed a trace of dejection. How could she not understand Cao Yuer''s thoughts?


    "But in the end, my sister still died. No matter what, it has to do with Di Chen.


    Cao Yuer was still unwilling to let Di Chen go, and said: "Liu Jingjing, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don''t need to meddle in other people''s business."


    Seeing that Cao Yuer still insisted on killing Di Chen, Liu Jingjing slightly shook her head, not bothering to advise him further, she took out a badge, this badge could force a person out of the wizard tower, it would at least cost 200 points, and could only be used once.


    "You ¡­" Cao Yuer saw Liu Jingjing spend two hundred points to buy this in order to send him off, so angry that she wanted to make a move on him, but before she could even finish speaking, she suddenly disappeared among the wizard tower.


    The order badge in Liu Jingjing''s hands disappeared as well, it was only used once for two hundred points, but it was also worth it for Liu Jingjing, as long as she could avoid Cao Yuer pestering him endlessly during this period. Di Chen could not bear to hurt Cao Yuer, as she would be injured sooner or later.


    Some people''s auras made even Di Chen a little afraid. He thought that although he could deal with the people with Third Level of the Martial King Realm now, it was still a good choice to stay on the second floor.


    wizard tower s arranged the floors according to the realm of a martial artist. When one reached the Martial King level, they could only stay on the second floor. Although Di Chen''s strength was at the Third Level of the Martial King Realm level, he was not really a martial artist, so he could only stay on the second floor.


    Qin Er looked at her surroundings and muttered: "Di Chen, why are there so many people looking at us? It seems like they are plotting something."


    Di Chen also noticed that many people were looking at him, and said smilingly: "We just came to the second floor, obviously because we just broke through the profound strength of a Martial King, so these people must definitely think that we aren''t strong enough, and want to snatch our points away."


    Just as Di Chen thought, a man quickly walked towards him.


    "Hey, give me your points." His name was Fang Ze, and he was a cultivator of the Martial King double stage.


    Di Chen and Qin Er looked at each other, thinking that this fellow was funny, and asked Di Chen to hand over his points just like that, without thinking of how to ask about Di Chen''s strength.


    Di Chen could tell that Fang Ze was not very strong. He could not be bothered to pay attention to him and turned to leave.


    Fang Shao took a step forward and blocked in front of Di Chen, then took out a forced battle order: "If you guys don''t hand over your points, I''ll kill you guys."


    Di Chen laughed: I will not give you my points, if you want to kill us, just use the order badge.


    As he spoke, he led Qin Er around the other party and left.


    He did not believe that the other party would actually dare to do such a thing. In fact, Di Chen had already prepared to do such a thing previously, if a person''s mentality was not strong enough to see others threatening him, he might obediently hand over all his points, but he could only use this fighting order once, if the opponent was not willing to, then he would still use this fighting order?


    If a person didn''t have 100 points, then wouldn''t it be a waste for him to use this compulsory battle order?


    Di Chen calculated that the man was only putting on an act, he did not dare to use the forced battle order.


    "You ¡­" Fang Ze did not expect Di Chen to not be afraid in the slightest, he took a step forward and blocked Di Chen''s path: "Do you think I don''t dare to use it?"


    Di Chen laughed: "If you are willing to use it, then please do so, if you truly have the ability to kill me then it won''t be too late to give you more points."


    Fang Shao angrily said, "If I really use force to fight with you, do you think you can rely on just a few points to preserve your life? Don''t force me."

 C178

    Di Chen was too lazy to even speak to Fang Ze, as he continued to leave after sneering at him.


    Fang Ze was infuriated by Di Chen''s taunts. He determined that Di Chen, who had just broken through the Martial King double stage, was not very strong, and in his anger, he actually used his Forced Battle Token.


    Just as Di Chen turned around and entered a room, he saw Fang Ze standing in front of him.


    "I really didn''t want to use a compulsory fighting order at first, but I also didn''t think that you could hand over all your points, but at least you have to hand over some points, but you actually forced me to use this compulsory fighting order. I''ve said before that I can''t save your life with just a little points, you''re asking for it.


    Di Chen laughed but did not say a word. The opponent using a forced battle order was actually a good thing for him, because by doing so, he would be able to steal his points.


    Seeing that Di Chen was still relaxed, Fang Ze immediately threw a punch at Di Chen, but just as he was getting close to Di Chen, his body suddenly stopped, unable to move.


    "My body ¡­" He struggled with all his might, but he could not move at all.


    Di Chen smiled as he walked in front of Fang Ze. "Even though you are also a Martial King, you are weaker than many first stage practitioners. Hand over your points now, I can spare your life."


    Fang Zeqing was unresigned and said angrily, "Who are you? Why should I give you my points?"


    Di Chen did not speak either, grabbing onto Fang Ze''s little finger, he pulled forcefully, and that finger immediately turned into ashes.


    Fang Zeqing did not feel any pain at first, but a moment later, the pain arrived. Fang Shao screamed in fear and shouted, "I won''t give you my points."


    Di Chen looked at Fang Ze in amusement, but did not advise him otherwise. Instead, he grabbed onto another finger and pulled on it forcefully, turning it into ashes once again.


    This time, Fang Shao was truly afraid. This guy would not stop until he got his points. He had tortured others before as well.


    "I''ll give ¡­" Fang Ze immediately shouted out, and then took out his Mage Token to give all of his points to Di Chen.


    Di Chen was shocked to realize that this side actually had 200 points, more than Hei Yu. It seems that he had intimidated quite a few people earlier, this was an unexpected harvest.


    The compulsory battle order required the two of them to fight for ten minutes, and only by killing the other party would the battle end. Or by waiting for the end of the ten minutes, one side would admit defeat, and now only two minutes had passed. The two of them could not leave, so they waited inside.


    Fang Ze looked at Di Chen hatefully before leaving. It seemed like he would not let this matter rest.


    "Di Chen," Qin Er asked after Di Chen came out: "How many points did you steal?"


    She was very confident in Di Chen and knew that he would definitely win.


    Di Chen laughed: "After stealing 200 points, this guy sure knows how to earn points. I have 600 points now, but it''s still far from my requirement."


    But Di Chen had only been in the wizard tower for three days, and there were still nearly three months left. It wasn''t difficult for Di Chen to earn two thousand points.


    "Di Chen," At this time, Yu Qianyi walked over, looked at Di Chen and said: "You came to the second floor too, I heard that Hei Yu found someone to take revenge on you?"


    Di Chen laughed lightly: "It''s fine, they temporarily won''t come looking for trouble with me again."


    Yu Qianyi looked at Di Chen strangely, thinking that he did not know how he had settled the matter, he changed the topic: "Oh right, let me introduce someone to you, come with me."


    Di Chen thought that it was good to meet one more person, and followed Qin Er to the southeast corner of the second floor of the wizard tower. There were two people there, a man and a woman, the woman had long hair and carried a short sword in her hand.


    Yu Qianyi pointed to the two, and introduced them: "Di Chen, this is Fei Shuang and Yao Yao, my friend."


    Then, he pointed at Di Chen and introduced him, "This is Di Chen and Qin Er. I met them on the first floor earlier."


    Fei Shuang and Yao Yao were startled when they saw Di Chen. Qin Er did have a huge amount of spirit energy in his body, but it was not affected by the spirit energy.


    "Thousand," Yao Yao raised her eyebrows and said, "Is this what you invited me to help out with?"


    Actually, this was also normal. After all, Di Chen''s spirit energy was simply too weak.


    Yu Qianyi nodded his head: "Yao Yao, although Di Chen does not have any spirit energy in his body, he is very strong. I am not his match at all, and even Hei Yu was defeated by him."


    Hearing that, Yao Yao was startled, she looked at Di Chen in shock, thinking that Hei Yu''s strength was not simple, to be able to defeat him, he had to have at least the strength of his Third Level of the Martial King Realm.


    Di Chen knew that Yu Qianyi definitely had something that needed to be done to find him, and asked: "Qian Yi, what exactly do you want to find me for?"


    Yu Qianyi revealed a bitter smile: Actually, I want to ask for your help. There''s someone who wants to steal our points, so I want to trouble you for this.


    Di Chen knew that these kinds of things were common, but he couldn''t help others every single time right? After all, he wasn''t too familiar with Yu Qianqian, so what right did he have to offend people for them?


    Yu Qianyi saw that Di Chen seemed unwilling, and anxiously said: "This request is too excessive, how about this, after we obtain the points we can split half to you."


    "Half?" Hearing that, Fei Shuang was even more unwilling, half of it was given to Di Chen, while the other half was given to the three of them, it was not fair, even if he was strong, how could he have obtained so many points?


    Yao Yao did not mind, and said: "Those people are very strong, it''s already not easy for us to win, and we are lucky that we can still get some points, let''s do it this way."


    "That won''t do," Fei Shuang still refused: "How can he get so many points on her own? If we can win, we can give him a tenth of those points as repayment. Those people''s points are not small, a tenth is already more than enough."


    Earning points was not easy, Fei Shuang was currently lacking points, he was truly unwilling to give Di Chen so much, but he never thought that without Di Chen, he would not even be able to defeat her opponent.


    Qin Er said angrily: "This matter has nothing to do with us, if we help you, we will only offend more people. You actually only get a tenth of the points, with such a small amount, on what basis should we help you with?"


    Fei Shuang scoffed, "We did not ask for your help, so if you guys are unwilling, then let''s just forget about it. We can look for someone else to help us."


    In truth, Di Chen did not care about the points, he had the ability to earn more, but he did not like Fei Shuang''s tone, and looked at Qin Er: "Let''s go."


    "Di Chen," Yu Qianyi really did not expect things to turn out like this, he looked at Fei Shuang and chided: "You should know how strong Bai Xun and the rest are, with the strength of the few of us, we are unable to defeat them. I finally managed to get Di Chen to help, why did you chase him away?"


    Fei Shuang said: "You said that he defeated Hei Yu, who knows if he is lying or not, he does not have a single trace of spirit energy inside his body, furthermore, he only wants half of the points, with his strength, it is already considered a lot for him to take 10% of the points."


    It was just that he didn''t want to give Di Chen too many points. How could Yu Qianyi and Yao Yao not know what Fei Shuang was thinking? The two of them shook their heads slightly.


    At this moment, the four of them walked over, led by a man with an inch of hair. Looking at his strength, it seemed like he had the possibility of breaking through his Third Level of the Martial King Realm, and this man was Yu Qianyi, as Yu Qianyi had mentioned, and beside Bai Xun were two beautiful women, they were a pair of sisters. Her sister looked cold and murderous, she was called You Qin, and her sister looked gentle and beautiful.


    Bai Xun brought his men and walked over, looked at Yu Qianyi and the other two and said: "I think all of you are already prepared, whoever loses must hand over their points."


    Fang Shao looked at the three of them and smiled. "It seems like it''s the three of you who are going on stage?"


    Previously, Bai Xun had forced Yu Qianyi and the others to fight, and with the price of the points, Yu Qianyi had no other choice but to agree to it. However, he did not have confidence, so he had sought Di Chen for help, who knew that this would happen?


    Yu Qianyi no longer had any confidence this time, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "We will not fight with you."


    Bai Xun laughed: It doesn''t matter if you guys don''t agree, since I already bought a forced battle order, at worst, I will just kill you guys, I want to see whether you guys are willing to give me points or want to die.


    Yu Qianyi and the rest had three people, so if they wanted to force them to fight, they would need to pay three hundred points. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Bai Xun did not want to do this.


    In reality, Yu Qianyi did not want them to use their forced fighting order either, because their opponent had spent 300 points to force him into battle. They would definitely kill him, otherwise how could they face him with 300 points?


    Yao Yao also knew the danger of this battle and immediately said: "We will not fight with you."


    Bai Xun laughed coldly: "This cannot be done with you, you can disagree, but we can also kill you, at most we won''t need your points."


    Bai Xun believed that the other party would definitely not want to die, so he would still choose to fight.


    Yu Qianyi did not speak anymore. Sometimes, they really did not have the chance to choose inside the wizard tower.


    Fei Shuang is a proud and arrogant person, she could not stand Yu Qianyi''s repeated threats and coldly said: "The loser must gift all of their points to the other party."


    Hearing this, Bai Xun and the others finally laughed. They had been waiting for Fei Shuang to say this, but Yu Qianyi shook his head slightly instead.

 C179

    Bai Xun chuckled: "Then we''ll go sign the contract, in case you go back on your word."


    Among the wizard tower, one could sign a contract, if they violated the contract, all of their points would be deducted, and in the future, they would not be able to enter the wizard tower again, so the consequences were very serious.


    The two of them arrived at a certain location on the wizard tower. This was the place where they had signed the contract, after signing the contract, there was no longer any room for going back on their words.


    Bai Xun looked at the contract with satisfaction and said: "Let''s begin, both sides will choose three people to compete with, whoever loses will enter the stage, the winner can continue, all the way until the three of us lose, since this is only a competition, we cannot take the opponent''s life."


    "Alright," Shuangfei came out and said, "I''ll be the first on stage."


    Bai Xun glanced at You Xiang and said: "Go, quickly end it."


    Hearing that he was very confident in You Xiang, You Xiang smiled, then walked into a room. Fei Shuang followed behind him while the others waited outside.


    In the room.


    You Xiang laughed as she looked at Fei Shuang, as though she was waiting for Fei Shuang to make the first move.


    Fei Shuang knew that she had been looked down upon by You Xiang, and was slightly angered. She took a step forward and smashed her fist towards You Xiang: "Heaven''s Net Fist."


    A majestic power surged out, pressing down on You Xiang like a huge mountain, causing the air to become heavy. As a person with the double stage of a Martial King, this fist strike was not weak, but not many people could withstand it.


    You Xiang still maintained a relaxed expression, she slowly extended her slender jade-like hand, and lightly struck out with her palm towards Fei Shuang. Bang! The two fists clashed, and even though Fei Shuang''s strength was extremely strong, she was still forced to retreat, while You Xiang remained standing at her original position as though she had not been harmed at all.


    "So strong?" Fei Shuang was shocked, this was his most powerful punch, but how could it be weak in front of You Xiang?


    Fei Shuang did not dare to be careless. She pointed at the space between her eyebrows and a Demonic Wolf shot out.


    "Demonic Wolf s?" Streaks of silk shot out from the tips of You Xiang''s hands, they crisscrossed, and cut the Demonic Wolf. These threads looked very soft, but the Demonic Wolf seemed to be very soft in front of these threads, and it easily shattered into pieces, turning into auras and dissipated.


    You Xiang did not continue to attack and said with a smile: "Surrender, you are not my match at all."


    "My martial soul," Fei Shuang said with a face full of surprise, even her own martial soul did not have the slightest bit of lethality?


    The martial soul was Fei Shuang''s strongest move, without it, how could Fei Shuang fight against it?


    Fei Shuang clenched her teeth, and in the end, like a deflated ball, she said: "I lost."


    Fei Shuang walked out of the room. Seeing him come out so quickly, both Yu Qianyi and Yao Yao were startled. Fei Shuang lost so quickly?


    Yu Qianyi asked in shock: "Fei Shuang, is that You Xiang that powerful?"


    Fei Shuang said dejectedly: "I lost, she didn''t even use her martial soul, and she even destroyed my martial soul, I can''t beat her."


    The two of them gasped. Fei Shuang''s strength was not any weaker than theirs, how could they,, defeat her so quickly?


    Bai Xun smiled and said: "Who''s next?"


    Yao Yao and Yu Qianyi both hesitated a little, as though they did not dare to do so. In the end, Yao Yao gritted her teeth and said.


    The two of them were very close, he did not want to see Yao Yao''s martial soul being destroyed as well, so he said: "Let''s concede."


    Yao Yao shook her head: "No, those points are things that we have earned with great difficulty, I can''t give them all of it for free, I have to try it at least."


    Fei Shuang knew that she could not persuade Yao Yao, and said: "Then be careful, if you can''t beat them, come out, and don''t let them destroy the martial soul."


    Even if he lost the competition, it would be small. But the destruction of the martial soul was a huge matter. It would not be easy to cultivate the martial soul again.


    Yao Yao nodded, and in the end, still entered the room. Yu Qianyi and Fei Shuang waited outside, but Bai Xun and the other two still had relaxed faces, it seemed like they were very confident in You Xiang.


    In the room.


    When You Xiang saw that it was Yao Yao who had entered, she smiled and said: "It''s your turn, I believe you''ve heard about it too. I will destroy your martial soul, if you don''t want to, just admit defeat."


    "Don''t even think about it," Yao Yao was unwilling to admit defeat, she placed her ten fingers on her chest, releasing her spirit energy, following that, countless of vines shot out from the ground towards You Xiang, all of these vines were covered with barbs, each time she was hit, it would be fatal.


    Threads of silk shot out from You Xiang''s fingertips, cutting at the vines. These vines were very hard, and You Xiang was unable to cut any of the threads, but those fine vines were unable to cut through You Xiang''s threads either.


    "Seems like this is your most powerful cultivation technique. It is indeed not weak."


    You Xiang laughed: "But just this technique alone is not enough to defeat me."


    Yao Yao remained silent. She tapped the center of her brows and a fan flew out, the fan was at least 10 meters long and a character of wind was written on it. Yao Yao used both hands to fan herself with the fan, and a wind blade of at least 10 meters length shot out from the fan, brushing against the ground and shooting towards You Xiang.


    You Xiang could tell that the power behind this attack was very strong, so she immediately punched out, releasing a strong force that struck the wind blade. The wind blade dissipated, but You Xiang was also pushed back a few steps by the force.


    "So powerful," You Xiang was also surprised, this martial soul was so much stronger than Fei Shuang''s martial soul.


    Taking advantage of her victory, Yao Yao chased after him while holding onto his folding fan, and swung it with force, sending another wind blade flying towards You Xiang.


    You Xiang quickly took out a spear and pointed it at the wind blade. The wind blade immediately dispersed with a cry.


    "Medium-ranked Earth Grade spirit weapon?" Yao Yao was secretly surprised when she saw the Spirit Sword in You Xiang''s hands. This middle grade Earth Rank spirit weapon was usually used by fifth stage cultivators, and You Xiang had the double stage of a Martial King. Under normal circumstances, she would not be able to unleash the power of this spirit weapon.


    This time, Yao Yao finally sensed the danger and madly waved her fan, releasing a burst of wind blades. As for You Xiang, his spear struck against the wind blades, and every wind blade was easily destroyed by You Xiang, causing her spirit energy to be crazily exhausted. She was so exhausted that she was no longer able to use the martial soul anymore.


    "Still not admitting defeat?" You Xiang, on the other hand, had a relaxed expression as she looked at You Xiang. She had only consumed half of her soul force, and had not used her martial soul at all.


    You Xiang was not willing to give up, but she knew that if she continued fighting, her opponent might even destroy her martial soul.


    Outside the room.


    Fei Shuang waited anxiously for Yao Yao to come out. Yao Yao had fought for a longer time than him, which made him a little worried. Fortunately, Yao Yao finally came out a few minutes later.


    Fei Shuang anxiously walked over and asked: "How are you, are you alright?"


    Yao Yao said silently: "I''m fine, but I can''t beat her either, I lost."


    Fei Shuang had already thought that Yao Yao would lose, he was not worried about losing the match, she was more worried that something might happen to Yao Yao.


    Bai Xun''s gaze landed on Yu Qianyi, and he laughed: "You''re the last, it''s your turn right?"


    "I ¡­" Yu Qianyi opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. He knew very well that even if he had won the match, he had no chance of winning, so he might as well not go.


    Fang Zheng laughed out loud, "Are you actually scared? Don''t worry, we won''t kill you. You can just directly enter and admit defeat. "


    That was fine, but Yu Qianyi was not willing, previously, his points were not snatched away by Hei Yu, but Di Chen helped him get them back, and now he was going to throw them away again?


    Yao Yao and Fei Shuang did not know what to say either, in the wizard tower s, they only looked at their strength, if they were weak, they would only be bullied.


    "This one is not the last one," Fei Shuang suddenly said, it was a friend of ours who accompanied you.


    Yao Yao and Yu Qianyi were startled by her words, they secretly thought that maybe Fei Shuang was looking for Di Chen, but just now, Di Chen had left because of his anger, so it would not be easy for them to find him again.


    "Friends?" Bai Xun raised his eyebrows, and said: "What, you know you can''t beat him, so you want to call for help?"


    Bai Xun did not see who the person Fei Shuang was talking about was, and he was not confident that he could win against him.


    "No problem," You Qin suddenly said, she looked calm, as though she was not worried that Fei Shuang would ask for help.


    Bai Xun said worriedly, "What if they find a fourth stage Martial King cultivator?"


    No matter how strong they were, they would not be able to defeat a fourth level Martial King. They did not have confidence in themselves since they had never seen each other before.


    You Qin said calmly: "Things are clustered together, people are grouped in groups. With their strength, they can''t invite any strong people, don''t worry."


    Bai Xun knew that You Qin was very powerful, so hearing her words, he was relieved.


    "Then you guys wait." When Fei Shuang agreed to it, Fei Shuang immediately looked at him and said: "Thousand, go call Di Chen over here."


    Yu Qianyi said with a wry smile: "I''ve already come to find Di Chen just now, and it''s because you don''t have confidence in him, and now you even want me to go find him for help, how can he agree?"


    The reason why he helped Yu Qianyi was partly out of consideration for their friendship, and partly because of the points. But previously, Fei Shuang wanted Di Chen to help, but didn''t want to give him any points, so why would Di Chen offend others for no reason?


    Fei Shuang thought for a while and said: "At worst, I can just give him most of my points, it''s just too much of a loss in the tournament."


    Yu Qianyi could tell that Fei Shuang had made up her mind this time. After hesitating for a while, he nodded her head and went to find Di Chen.


    After separating with Yu Qianyi and the rest, Di Chen did not immediately enter his room to fight. Instead, he walked around the second floor to take a look at everyone''s strength.


    "Di Chen..." Just then, Yu Qianyi came over again.


    Di Chen asked curiously: "What''s wrong?"


    Yu Qianyi said in embarrassment: "Just now, those people came to fight with us, we have already lost two rounds in a row, if I were to lose again, we would have lost completely, I want to ask you to help us."


    "So fast?" Di Chen was shocked, the two of them had only been separated for ten minutes, and the three of them had already lost two matches?


    Di Chen thought that these people were all very powerful.

 C180

    Yu Qianyi laughed bitterly: "They are only going up alone, and Fei Shuang and Yao Yao are both stronger than me, I think that I will lose even more miserably on stage. I don''t have any other choice, I can only rely on you."


    When Qin Er thought back to how Fei Shuang was acting just now, she became angry and said: "That Fei Shuang is actually only willing to give us 10% of the points, what right do we have to help you all?"


    It was very dangerous to make enemies with other people in the wizard tower, but Di Chen could only earn a little less than 10 points to help them.


    Yu Qianyi said embarrassedly: "It was Fei Shuang who was wrong just now, he said that if we could win, you guys can take away most of it, Di Chen, I beg of you, if you don''t go on stage, we really will lose."


    Qin Er still did not want to help them, so she kept on persuading Di Chen. Di Chen thought that since Yu Qianyi had already said that, it would not be good for him to not save them, so he decided to help them.


    "Thank you so much," Yu Qianyi was overjoyed, and immediately brought Di Chen and him to the competition grounds.


    Seeing that Di Chen had returned, Fei Shuang finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that the chances of him getting there was at least a little better than Yu Qianyi.


    "It''s him." When Fang Ze saw Di Chen from afar, he was so angry that he wanted to fight him to the death.


    Bai Xun saw the anger on Fang Ze''s face and asked suspiciously: "You know him?"


    Fang Yuan explained, "This person just came up to the second floor, and I saw that he didn''t seem to be very strong, so I wanted to force him to hand over his points. But who knew that he would not give them to me, so I could only use my battle order to fight him.


    Bai Xun stared at Di Chen in curiosity, thinking that although Fang Ze was not weak, it would not be easy for him to win. For his opponent to be able to defeat Fang Ze so easily, it seemed that this guy was not a simple person either.


    You Qin was even more doubtful, she did not feel any soul force from Di Chen''s body, it did not seem to be hidden, could it be that he was not a warrior?


    The few of them could not understand, but they could be sure that if he dared to come, it meant that he had some trump card up his sleeve.


    "Di Chen, I''m truly sorry." Fei Shuang said apologetically: "I was being too excessive just now, don''t mind me."


    Di Chen laughed: "I''m fine."


    Yao Yao added: "We''ve discussed it before, if we can win this time, you get two-thirds of the points."


    Di Chen did not reject, as he was lacking points right now, so he nodded his head and agreed.


    "You guys are only left with one person, and you still act so arrogant?"


    Fang Yuan was furious when he saw that the other party had actually divided the points. Since you''ve already lost two people, the chances of winning are very slim. To think that the points were already here. This is simply looking down on yourself.


    At first, Di Chen did not notice Fang Ze, but after hearing his voice, he noticed him and laughed: "Oh, so it''s you, you''re still not convinced after getting your points stolen by me?"


    Fang Yuan said coldly, "Although you are stronger than me, they are different from me."


    Di Chen laughed but did not speak. He could roughly feel several people''s auras and Bai Xun was the only one who didn''t have much confidence as Di Chen always felt that she was hiding a very powerful strength.


    Bai Xun laughed and said: "Seems like you''re very confident, huh. Think it through clearly, the agreement I made with them just now was to not kill each other, but we did not have a contract with you, so we can kill you. Of course, if you don''t want to die, you can use your points to exchange for your life."


    In fact, it was very dangerous for Di Chen to participate in this kind of competition. Even if he lost, he would have to take out his points, so it wasn''t unreasonable for Di Chen to ask for more in the beginning.


    Di Chen laughed: "I can give you guys these words, if you don''t want to get hurt, then admit defeat."


    Fang Shao scolded, "Arrogant. You''ll regret it in a while."


    Di Chen did not even bother to look at Fang Ze, this kind of naked ridicule made Fang Ze want to kill him.


    You Qin blocked Fang Zhe, signalling him not to be impulsive, then said to Di Chen: "When you looked at me just now, your aura fluctuated a little. It seems that you don''t have the confidence to win against me."


    Di Chen originally wanted to deny it, but when he saw that You Qin had already seen through his thoughts, he no longer denied it, and said: "I don''t have any confidence, but it''s the same for you."


    Yu Qianyi and the other two thought that Di Chen had confidence in themselves initially, but now they realized that Di Chen did not have that much of a chance either.


    You Qin was indeed the one who asked the main topic, nodding: "You''re right, I don''t have confidence, because I don''t feel any fluctuations of the spirit energy in your body. You are a special kind of warrior, it''s only natural that I don''t have confidence if you don''t understand me.


    Di Chen remained silent, he was afraid that this You Qin would be the strongest enemy he would meet after entering the wizard tower.


    "So you don''t have confidence. You''re just putting on an act. I thought you were very strong."


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, Bai Xun sneered, then looked towards Yu Qianyi and the others and said: "Are you really willing to have this person replace them? You must know, if he loses, then it''s your points that will be lost."


    Yu Qianyi calmly said: "We have already decided, and he might not lose."


    Compared to, Yu Qianyi still felt that Di Chen had a better chance.


    Di Chen did not speak anymore, and went to greet the others before entering the room.


    You Xiang had been waiting for this entire time, but no one came in the end. Ten minutes later, a man just walked in, but what surprised him was that this man was not Yu Qianyi, but a stranger.


    "Who are you?" You Xiang looked at Di Chen doubtfully.


    Di Chen laughed: "I''ll compete in place of Yu Qianyi."


    You Xiang did not mind, she thought that since he was able to enter her sister, she must have agreed, and laughed: "You don''t seem to have any spirit energy, I can''t even tell what realm you are in, what is your cultivation level?"


    You Xiang could hide it from most people, but Di Chen gave You Xiang a very strange feeling. Di Chen was simply not like a warrior, but instead like a scholar. She had never seen such a strange person in all her years of cultivation, so he couldn''t help but be a little curious about Di Chen.


    Di Chen shrugged his shoulders and said: "Just try it out."


    You Xiang laughed: "Seems like you''re quite confident. Then this is good, I''ll give you a chance, if you can last two minutes I''ll admit defeat, how about it?"


    Di Chen, of course, would not reject and said: "Thank you."


    You Xiang made a ten finger sign, and threads shot out from her fingertips towards Di Chen. These threads were crisscrossed, and there was no place to hide.


    Di Chen immediately took out a stack of paper with the word "spear" written on it and stuck it out. The power of the scholars rushed inside, and then they saw that every piece of paper shot out a spear, the spear was like rain. Previously, Di Chen was not able to release so many Spear Arts s at once, but after breaking through Martial King Realm, it was easy.


    Those threads were shattered by the spear and fell down like You Xiang.


    "Not good," You Xiang''s face changed, she immediately took out her spear and pointed it towards the pikes. She could defeat Di Chen''s pikes with every pike, but the power of the pikes were not weak, even if she could defeat Di Chen''s pike, it would be very difficult, as the few pikes grazed by You Xiang''s body, and directly knocked her over.


    All the spears finally landed on the ground, causing the ground to be riddled with holes, while You Xiang had already retreated to the side with several wounds on her body, looking extremely miserable.


    Di Chen laughed: "I let you try your best earlier."


    You Xiang wiped the blood off her face: Just now, I easily defeated Yao Yao and Fei Shuang, I never thought that you would be able to injure me so easily, your strength is far stronger than them, I might not be able to defeat you, but I still want to test just how strong you are.


    With that said, she took her spear and flew towards Di Chen, thrusting it towards him.


    Di Chen''s handwritten words floated up one by one, You Xiang continuously used her spear to break the words, but it was very strenuous, and also very dangerous, and she was unable to get close to Di Chen.


    "Is it really that powerful?" You Xiang realized that it was too dangerous to continue attacking and immediately retreated. She kept her spear and pressed on her forehead, then a vine shot out from between her eyebrows and swept towards Di Chen. This was her martial soul, the Plant Element.


    The vine''s power was obvious, smashing Di Chen''s pikes into pieces, and then striking towards Di Chen.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen suddenly roared out, the vine suddenly stopped when it was about to sweep towards Di Chen, and then Di Chen grabbed onto the vine, and the part of it that was grabbed immediately turned into ashes.


    At this rate, her own martial soul would basically be completely destroyed. She immediately put it away and said: "I''ve lost."


    Di Chen stopped his attack, cupped his fists and laughed: "Acknowledged."


    You Xiang did not go out immediately. Instead, she looked at Di Chen and asked suspiciously: "You are very powerful, but from start to finish, I am still unable to see just what realm you are in, and what level are you at?"


    Di Chen said: "We are currently competing, this is related to my points, of course I cannot tell you, wait till the end."


    It was only because You Xiang was too shocked by her strength that You Xiang asked such a stupid question. Right now, both sides were fighting, so how could Di Chen tell him?


    You Xiang did not ask any further, directly turning and walking out.


    Outside the room.


    Fang Yuan calculated the time and said, "It''s been almost two minutes. I didn''t expect him to last this long. But he should be out soon."


    Bai Xun seemed to have the same thought, while the other three looked worried. In truth, they didn''t have much confidence in Di Chen either.


    Just then, the door to the room opened, and You Xiang walked out. The moment she walked out, she said that she had lost, and Yu Qianyi and the rest all heaved a sigh of relief.


    "You lost?" Bai Xun asked in shock. In his opinion, You Xiang would definitely not lose, even if she lost so quickly.


    Even if You Xiang lost, she wouldn''t feel regret or discontent, and calmly replied: "He''s very strong, I''m not her opponent. Bai Xun, you be careful too, his technique is very strange."


    "No problem." Bai Xun laughed, he knew that You Xiang was not much weaker than him, it seemed that she would be in danger if she lost to that person so quickly, but he was not worried, after all, he had his own trump card after entering the room.

 C181

    Di Chen was waiting in the room, and a moment later, he saw Bai Xun walking in.


    Bai Xun looked up and down at Di Chen, and seeing that he was not injured at all, he asked curiously: "Looks like the battle just now did not affect you at all, you are truly powerful."


    Di Chen laughed but did not say a word, he then formed a handwritten hand seal with one hand, and the word spear flew towards Bai Xun, and in the process of flying, it transformed into a spear.


    Bai Xun channeled his spirit energy into his fist and with a heavy punch, he smashed into the spear. Unexpectedly, he did not use any technique, nor did he use any weapon.


    "That''s it?" Bai Xun taunted: "Just now, You Xiang said that you''re very strong. It seems like you''re only so-so."


    Di Chen was secretly surprised, this Spear Arts was the strongest move in his Sky Text Scripture, he did not expect it to be harmless, it looked like it would be very difficult to defeat it just by relying on a scholar''s technique, but luckily, Di Chen''s power was equivalent to Third Level of the Martial King Realm, it was stronger than the scholar''s cultivation level.


    After Bai Xun finished speaking, he took another step towards Di Chen, and smashed a heavy fist towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen could feel an enormous power gushing toward him, and he immediately countered with a fist.


    As the two fists collided, Bai Xun only felt a surge of heat rushing into his fist. His entire arm, which was extended from his fist to his arm, actually turned into ashes with a speed visible to the naked eye.


    "Not good," Bai Xun''s face changed as he quickly retreated. At this time, half of his arm had disappeared and the wound was charred black as if it had been burnt by flames.


    "What kind of cultivation technique is this?" Earlier, he had heard You Xiang describe Di Chen''s strength, so he knew that there was a wave of heat in Di Chen''s body that could turn everything into ashes. However, he did not sense any fluctuations of spirit energy in Di Chen''s body.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "I already said before that I would make you surrender, you can''t beat me."


    Bai Xun scoffed, "I''m still only at the beginning, don''t be too proud."


    "Shuang Yun fist," Bai Xun said as he punched out again, his spirit energy transforming into a fist shadow that flew towards Di Chen. This fist shadow carried a cold aura, it seemed to be an ice attribute technique.


    Di Chen punched at the fist shadow again. With a pu sound, the shadow of the fist dissipated, but Di Chen was also knocked back a few steps, there were still some ice shards on his fist.


    "The power of this technique is not weak," Di Chen thought, if he did not refine the beast core earlier, it would be difficult for the brute strength to withstand this punch.


    Bai Xun threw a few more punches consecutively, each punch flying towards Di Chen. Di Chen also threw a punch towards each of the punches, with each of his punches allowing him to easily shatter one of the punches.


    "What the hell is going on with this guy?" It was more difficult for Bai Xun to use the Frozen Cloud Fist, and he used up a lot of spirit energy quickly. However, he saw that Di Chen seemed to be relaxed, and did not see Di Chen''s spirit energy fluctuate at all, which meant that it was only a normal punch without any spirit energy. But how could a normal punch have such a scorching power?


    Two minutes later, Bai Xun''s spirit energy had finally been exhausted. He stopped using the Frostcloud Fist and looked at Di Chen tiredly, "Did you not use any of your spirit energy at all?"


    Di Chen did not directly answer him, and laughed: "You have exhausted most of your spirit energy, so you should just use the martial soul. Otherwise, when your spirit energy is exhausted, you won''t even have the chance to use the martial soul."


    Bai Xun clenched his teeth, he knew that the martial soul was his only chance, he immediately tapped on his forehead and a stone hammer flew out from between his eyebrows, the stone hammer''s hammer had multiple reverse thorns, if he was struck by the stone hammer, he would definitely die.


    "Go and die," Bai Xun said as if he was enraged by Di Chen, and unexpectedly had the intent to kill. With a point of his stone hammer, the stone hammer flew towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s gaze turned cold, he quickly wrote a word of calligraphy, and the stone hammer suddenly stopped moving when it landed.


    Then, Di Chen took out a pile of paper with the word "spear" written on it and threw it out. The power of the scholar gushed out and the spears flew out from the paper slip, all of them striking the stone hammer. At first, the stone hammers were not powerful enough, but after a dozen of spears, the stone hammer started to crumble.


    "Not good, he wants to destroy my martial soul," Bai Xun''s face changed, and he immediately urged his martial soul to move. However, he realised that the martial soul was unable to move, as though it was trapped by a strong force and unable to be retracted.


    Bang


    A series of explosions rang out, and the stone hammer finally broke apart, turning into an aura and dissipating.


    "My martial soul ¡­" Bai Xun was shocked, his own martial soul was destroyed?


    He angrily looked at Di Chen, and frantically rushed over: "I''ll kill you."


    A Spear Arts flew out from Di Chen''s hand. Because he was too excited, Bai Xun did not know how to block this strike from Di Chen at all, and his body was directly pierced through by the spear word, causing him to fly backwards.


    "Still not admitting defeat?" Di Chen laughed coldly: "I gave you a chance. If you continue to be like this, don''t blame me for killing you."


    Bai Xun finally managed to calm down. He knew that there was no point in continuing to fight and he glared at Di Chen hatefully before admitting defeat and leaving the room.


    Outside the room.


    The door opened with a creak, and everyone stared fixedly at the door, wanting to see who would come out. In the end, it was Bai Xun who came out, Yu Qianyi and the rest heaved a sigh of relief, but Fang Ze and the others did not dare believe it.


    "I lost," Bai Xun said as he looked at You Qin. "That guy was very powerful.


    "What?" He really did not think that Bai Xun would actually lose so miserably.


    You Xiang didn''t seem to be surprised at all. She knew from the start that Bai Xun couldn''t beat his opponent, and Bai Xun was a proud and arrogant person as well. He would definitely use all his strength and not withdraw when he saw the situation unfold.


    Bai Xun was still unconvinced, he looked at You Qin and said: "The person we have an agreement with is not that person. It is not against the agreement for you to kill him.


    You Qin remained silent and directly entered the room.


    Di Chen was the strongest from the very beginning, but after seeing You Qin enter, he finally became serious.


    You Qin stared at Di Chen for a while and said: "You do not have any spirit energy fluctuations, but your strength is this strong. If I''m not mistaken, you are a literati."


    Actually, some knowledgeable people could tell at a glance that Di Chen was a literati, and only a literati didn''t have any Origin Energy.


    Di Chen smiled and nodded.


    You Qin thought for a while and said: "The literati and the martial cultivator are different, but the wizard tower''s reward is a martial artist''s pill, which should not be of use to you, the spirit energy consumption of martial artists can be recovered quickly, but your powers as a scholar are not recovered that quickly, after two battles, you must have used up a lot of your powers as a scholar."


    Warriors could use pills to recover their elemental energy, while scholars could only read and write to recover their powers. However, in such a short period of time, Di Chen naturally had no way to recover his powers.


    Di Chen did not hide anything, and said: "That''s right, actually, this kind of battle is disadvantageous to me, I simply do not have time to recover."


    You Qin thought of something and said: "I specifically went to the first floor to take a look just now. You have already broken the record for passing the trial and went through the 30th floor.


    Every time the wizard tower passed a level, it would allow the warrior to recover his spirit energy for a few minutes. However, Di Chen was unable to recover much of his spirit energy in these few minutes, which also meant that during the process of clearing the level, he would have to exhaust all of his spirit energy.


    In truth, Di Chen did not rely on the power of the scholars when he was halfway through the challenge.


    Di Chen did not directly answer You Qin as he smiled and said, "How can I tell you the secrets of the warrior?


    You Qin did not ask anymore questions. With a flip of her hand, a zither appeared in front of her. You Qin flicked her ten fingers, and numerous wind blades shot towards Di Chen.


    "Not good, it''s an Earth Tool," Di Chen''s face changed, this You Qin had used such a powerful weapon from the start, he had immediately threw out a stack of paper with the word "Fixed" written on it, and the power of the scholars rushed inside, causing all the wind blades to freeze in the process of flying, and hang in the air, then Di Chen quickly punched out a few more times, directly shattering the wind blades. Only then did he sigh a breath of relief, luckily he had prepared a large amount of paper with the word "Fixed" previously, otherwise, he would not have been able to stop this many wind blades just now.


    You Qin stopped and looked at Di Chen calmly: "This is your scholar''s cultivation technique right? It is indeed mystical, but just this is not enough to beat me."


    As she said that, she extended her pinky to grab onto a zither string, using her power to pluck out, causing the zither string to make a loud sound as it shot a few metres long wind blade towards Di Chen.


    Originally, Di Chen did not want to use the Constant formula, but the wind blades were approaching menacingly, so the Congealed formula would not be able to stop the wind blades, he immediately threw a punch at the wind blades, causing the wind blades to crumble, but Di Chen was also blown away and rolled over ten times before stopping.


    "He actually caught it?" You Qin was slightly surprised, the technique just now used up a lot of her spirit energy, making it difficult to use. She pulled on the other string, and another wind blade shot towards Di Chen, this wind blade was even stronger than the previous one.


    Di Chen''s eyes became serious, and he threw another punch at the wind blade. The wind blade was still repelled by Di Chen, but his arm was immediately shattered.


    "Did you block it again?" You Qin''s face revealed an exhausted look. It could be seen that the move she used just now was extremely difficult for her, how did this guy defend against it?


    You Qin struck the third string, but this time, she did not immediately release it. One could see the forced expression on her face, as if this move was very difficult for her as well.


    "Just give up. Otherwise, this move will definitely kill you."


    You Qin advised: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don''t need to put your life on the line for them."


    It was normal that she did not use it immediately. You Qin had used a middle tier Earth Grade weapon, which was a burden for her. She could not rely too much on it or else she would suffer a backlash.


    Di Chen held onto his severed arm, and said with a forced smile: "Why does it have nothing to do with me, if I lose, I have to take out all of my points, these points were all earned with great difficulty."


    Only now did You Qin know that Di Chen was unwilling to part with his points.

 C182

    Di Chen chuckled: "Your delayed release of this move also proves that the burden this move placed on you is heavy. It injures one thousand enemies and self-inflicted eight hundred damage, you don''t want to use it either, right?"


    You Qin did not hide anything and said: "You are right, once this move is used, I will have to spend a lot of time to recover, which is very disadvantageous for me, in fact, I do not want to use this move, but if you do not admit defeat, then I can only use it, at worst, both of us will suffer, but the one losing out is you, since you lost one of your arms due to me, I think you will not be able to block this next move."


    At most, You Qin could recover once she had some rest, but it was very likely that she would die.


    Di Chen thought about it but still shook his head, he did not want to admit defeat.


    "You disappoint me so much," Duo Qin shook her head with a face of disappointment. Her pinky was finally released, and following that, a six meters long wind blade shot towards Di Chen.


    The Wind Blade grazed the ground, and like a gigantic wheel, it smashed towards Di Chen, causing rubble to fly everywhere. This kind of power was most likely impossible to resist with just the brute strength.


    Di Chen immediately tapped on the center of his brows and beams of light shot out from his forehead. The golden light filled the entire room and it was extremely glaring, as though it was a golden needle piercing through the wind blade.


    "Is this the martial spirit of light?" You Qin''s expression changed, because the range of the impact was too wide, she immediately took out a shield and placed it in front of her to block, the shield was more than three meters long, just right enough to block his entire body, but the shield also seemed to be unable to resist the martial spirit of light''s might, and got penetrated by the light, like needles, and even You Qin was affected.


    After a while, Di Chen kept the martial spirit of light. Although this martial spirit of light was strong, the burden on Di Chen''s body was too much. After using it every time, Di Chen would have to recover a long time.


    You Qin was still standing, but she had needles and roars, and her entire body was covered in blood. Although she was not dead, she looked to be in a sorry state.


    Di Chen knelt on one knee, looked at You Qin and said in shock: "I never thought that you would actually still be alive. You are the first person to be alive under my martial spirit of light."


    Previously, when Di Chen was forced into a corner, he would always use the martial spirit of light. However, every single person who had seen the martial spirit of light before had all died, and only this You Qin was still alive.


    You Qin spat out a mouthful of blood. She glanced at the shield that had been destroyed and said: "Although I''m not dead, I no longer have any fighting strength. I never thought that you would actually cultivate the martial spirit of light, but you are a literati.


    Many people had asked Di Chen this question, how did cultivate martial soul without soul force to be able to use?


    Di Chen laughed and said: "You don''t need to know. If you can still persevere on, we can continue. You still have martial soul s that you haven''t used."


    You Qin shook her head: "My spirit energy has been exhausted, and my body is severely injured. I no longer have the ability to use the martial soul, you win."


    Di Chen did not say anything, but in truth, it was not easy for him to win either, if You Qin persisted on, then the one who lost would be him.


    Both of them did not leave the room immediately. Instead, they took out medicinal pills to heal their wounds. Both of them were severely injured, and it took them an hour to recover.


    Outside the room.


    Yu Qianyi, Bai Xun and the rest were anxiously waiting. The battles of the warriors were very fast, but You Qin had already been in for quite some time, and they did not come out. It was unknown who had won, but both sides were worried.


    "Why hasn''t big sister come out yet?" You Xiang anxiously looked at the door to the room.


    Bai Xun said: "Don''t worry, You Qin has a middle ranked Earth Tool like the Demonic Zither, that guy is not her opponent."


    You Xiang also knew how powerful the middle grade Earth Tool was, but she was still very worried about You Qin.


    Yu Qianyi and the others'' faces changed when they heard that Bai Xun was a Medial Grade Earth Artifact. This Medial Grade Earth Artifact was not something that a person with a Martial King double stage could defend against, could it be that something happened to Di Chen?


    After a while, the door of the room finally opened, and Di Chen and You Qin walked out at the same time, the two of them had already recovered, and no one could tell who had won.


    Bai Xun could not wait and asked: "You Qin, how is it?"


    Yu Qianyi and the rest also nervously stared at You Qin.


    You Qin said calmly: "Give them the points, we lost."


    Hearing that, Bai Xun''s face changed, You Qin lost?


    On the other hand, Yu Qianyi and the others were excited, asking Di Chen to help was the right decision, they had finally won this battle.


    "Did you lose?" Bai Xun was a little unwilling, but he had no way to go against this kind of contract, so he took out all his points in the end. You Xiang and You Qin also took out their points, the three of them actually had 1000 points in total, it was not easy to earn that many points.


    Bai Xun looked at Di Chen hatefully and said: "Remember this, I will definitely take revenge for this."


    Losing the match and also the points he had earned with great difficulty, how could he accept this reality?


    Di Chen laughed: "You are not my opponent, I advise you to provoke me again, if not I will really kill you."


    Bai Xun knew that Di Chen still had a forced battle order, if he really wanted to kill his, it would be easy, so he didn''t dare to say another word.


    Fang Shao was not convinced: "This is the wizard tower. With me here, you can just use the battle order to kill us. If you don''t kill us today, we will kill you sooner or later."


    Losing his points was not something he was willing to do. He was so angry that he lost all sense of reason.


    Qin Er could not bear to be scolded like this, and said angrily: "Do you think I don''t dare?"


    As she spoke, she tried to take out the compulsory combat order to kill Fang Yuan.


    Di Chen held onto Qin Er, and laughed: "Forget it, I will charge 100 points for this forced battle order, it is not worth it to kill him, furthermore, I do not need the forced battle order to kill him, I can kill him now."


    Qin Er suddenly remembered that Di Chen had quietly wiped away the lives of all the people from the Third Level of the Martial King Realm.


    On the other hand, Yu Qianyi and the rest had doubtful looks, thinking that the outside of the wizard tower was not allowed to attack anyone, otherwise they would be rebounded. How was Di Chen going to kill him?


    Fang Shaoyang naturally did not believe him and kept saying, "My points are not so easily taken away. Remember this, I will definitely kill you."


    Di Chen noticed that not only Fang Ze, but even Bai Xun had a face full of hostility looking at him, it seemed like he would not let this matter go either. Di Chen shook his head slightly, and did not say much, his eyes flashed a black light, and when he saw the HP above Fang Ze''s head, the strength of the scholar immediately rushed in, and that HP was instantly erased.


    Fang Ze originally wanted to threaten Di Chen, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence, and then directly fell onto the ground without any warning ¡­


    Bai Xun was startled, he immediately went to Fang Ze''s side and checked his pulse, only to find that it had stopped. This meant that he was dead.


    "Dead?" Bai Xun had an astonished face as he looked at Di Chen with anger and said, "Just what did you do?"


    Yu Qianyi and the rest were also surprised, how did Di Chen kill Fang Ze?


    Di Chen laughed: "I already said that if he continued to be so aggressive, I would kill him. He''s the one who insisted on pestering me."


    "You ¡­" Bai Xun did not expect the other party to kill him so easily. He was so angry that he almost wanted to fight to the death with Di Chen.


    "Bai Xun," You Qin scolded, and said: "Just now, you took an inch when it was your turn, so let''s just forget about this matter."


    Although Bai Xun was not convinced, he really could not tell how Di Chen had killed so many people just now. He was also afraid that Di Chen would silently kill him, so he could only swallow his words.


    Although You Qin was not held accountable, Di Chen killing like this made her a little angry. She looked at Di Chen and said: "This matter is over, but if you continue to kill like this next time, I will definitely kill you. Believe me, even though I lost to you this time, I still have the power to kill you."


    Di Chen did not doubt this, and laughed: "If I did not feel threatened, I would not have killed so many people. In the future, the two of us will meddle in each other''s business, and if you want to kill me, I will not show any mercy."


    You Qin stared at Di Chen for a while. Without saying a word, he turned and left with You Xiang.


    You Xiang asked after walking a distance away. "Elder sister, is it the first time that I''ve seen you being this afraid of someone? Is he really that strong?"


    You Qin stopped and said: "He is a literati, his strength was originally not very strong, and is also not an ordinary literati. His strength is very strong, and with the cultivation of the martial spirit of light, even if the two of us teamed up, we might not be able to defeat him."


    Although she had threatened Di Chen previously, in reality, she wasn''t confident.


    Hearing this, You Xiang was startled, she did not think that Di Chen was a literati, but a normal literati''s body was very weak, how could he have such strength, and even cultivate in a martial spirit of light?


    Putting aside the martial spirit of light, even the fact that she was a literati was enough to shock many people, You Xiang thought to herself that it was normal for him to be unable to defeat Yue Yang.


    "Is this guy really so scary?" Bai Xun thought for a while, then asked again: "Then how did he kill Fang Ze just now?


    You Qin pondered and said: "It should be, we are martial artists, we are simply unable to see through the cultivation technique of the literati, so from now on it is better to keep a distance from him."


    Bai Xun did not say anything. Although Di Chen was strong, he was still not convinced.


    You Xiang said: "I wonder where he comes from, I would like to meet him in reality."


    After leaving the wizard tower, everyone would return to their original location. You Xiang was afraid that she would never be able to see Di Chen again, so she was a little curious about Di Chen.


    You Qin seemed to have the same idea, but she knew that now was not the time to interact with Di Chen, so she took out a badge with the word "Nether Moon" written on it. This badge was one of the top ten ancient sects, the Nether Moon Sect, and this was a sect that only had female disciples.


    Only, You Qin did not know that she had also missed out on the heirs to the other ten great sects.

 C183

    Yu Qianyi looked at Fang Ze''s corpse and still had not recovered from his shock. He asked Di Chen: "Di Chen, how did you kill him? This is my first time seeing someone killing someone in the common area of a wizard tower."


    "This is just a martial art I''m practicing." The wizard tower was built for warriors, so they had requirements for warriors. However, Di Chen was a literati, so it was likely that the person who built the wizard tower had overlooked this point.


    Yu Qianyi was also only able to ask this question out of surprise, but as a warrior, it wasn''t appropriate for him to pry into the secrets of others.


    "Right," Di Chen changed the subject, "These are the points I snatched from the three of them just now. In total, it''s a thousand points."


    Yu Qianyi said: "This time, the victories are all thanks to your technique, if you take out 700 points, the three of us will take out 100 points."


    Di Chen did not reject them, and directly transferred the seven hundred points into his own Mage Command Plate. He handed the other three hundred points to Yu Qianyi, and the three of them divided the hundred points each.


    The three of them were not dissatisfied either. After all, if it wasn''t for Di Chen and the others, they wouldn''t have been able to get the points.


    "Di Chen," Yao Yao reminded in good will. "The two sisters You Xiang and You Qin might not find trouble with you, but that Bai Xun will not let you go so easily.


    Di Chen could tell that Bai Xun was hostile towards him, and smiled: "It''s fine, I''ll be careful."


    "You did this?" Just then, a middle aged man suddenly walked over, and pointed at Bai Xun''s corpse and asked.


    Everyone looked over. It was a very ordinary middle-aged man. The man wore a black robe and held a magical staff in his hand. The spirit energy in his body seemed to be very weak and he did not look like an expert at all.


    Di Chen did not understand why he would suddenly meddle in other people''s business, and asked: "You know him?"


    The man said expressionlessly: "I don''t know him, it''s just that it''s impossible to kill in this wizard tower''s public area. I''m a bit curious as to how you killed him."


    Di Chen laughed but did not say a word, of course he was not stupid enough to say that out loud.


    The man stared at Di Chen for a while. Then, as if he had no intention to ask further, he carried Fang Ze''s corpse and left.


    Qin Er looked at the man''s back with a strange expression and said: "Just what is this guy doing? Why is he meddling in other people''s business?"


    Yu Qianyi also had a strange look on his face: Yeah, this guy always gives me a weird feeling, why do you think he took Fang Ze''s corpse away?


    The wizard tower s came from all over the Martial Region Continent, so no one cared too much about other people''s affairs. However, not only was this person nosy, his actions were also a bit strange, and did not seem like a normal person.


    Di Chen squinted his eyes. He did not see that the man had no life on his head, which meant that he had no life. He was not human, but the man just now was extremely lifelike, not like a puppet.


    "Di Chen..." Yu Qianyi saw that Di Chen had been in a daze the entire time, and asked: "Did you notice anything?"


    Di Chen laughed: "No, I just think that man is very strong. Forget it, no matter what, I will go and cultivate. Goodbye."


    Di Chen hastily bade farewell to Yu Qianyi before leaving together with him. Currently, Di Chen had already gained 1100 points, and was still short of 900 points to purchase the¡¶ On the Sky¡· manual. If he were to rely on normal battles, nine hundred points would require a long time.


    "Di Chen, where are we going?" Qin Er saw that Di Chen was not fighting either, and was walking around in circles on the second floor.


    Di Chen laughed: "I only want to prove one thing, you go and cultivate, don''t waste your time."


    Qin Er thought that with her current strength, she was weaker than Liu Jingjing by a lot. Catching her was not easy, she had no time to waste, so she decided to cultivate.


    After that, Di Chen went around the second floor by himself. What surprised him was that there were two more people who were similar to the man from before, they did not have any HP, and seemed to be normal people who were mingling in the crowd, not fighting nor interacting with others, they just wandered around the second floor, which seemed very strange. Di Chen went to the first floor again, and also found three more people like them, but he could clearly feel that they were weaker than the three people on the second floor.


    This time, Di Chen could conclude that these fellows were not humans, they were merely puppets with human characteristics. It was obvious that these puppets were left here by the people who constructed the wizard tower.


    "Originally, our movements were monitored by others," Di Chen immediately understood, thinking that all of the wizard tower s'' actions were seen by the person who refined them, but Di Chen did not care, after that, Di Chen walked into the room and started fighting. With Di Chen''s strength, no one on the second floor could defeat him, and after defeating thirty people, Di Chen was no longer able to match up to him, which meant that the second floor was no longer suitable for Di Chen to stay.


    This time, Di Chen also passed through the second floor to the second floor''s passing level. This time, Di Chen also passed through the thirtieth floor, broke the original record, and obtained two hundred points. Afterwards, he forced his battle order to threaten others, and spent two days to earn two thousand points, so he could finally purchase¡¶ A Talk about Heaven¡·.


    "I''ve finally gathered enough points." Di Chen took the points and changed it to "On the Sky", then looked for a corner where no one else could find it, and started flipping through it.


    "Merciless Heaven and Earth ¡­" Back then, when Di Chen participated in the Imperial examinations, he had started with these four words. After that, Di Chen found many ancient books in the Eternal Gate, where these books had a completely different mindset from before, where the heavens were regarded as the source of all things. However, this book was the complete opposite of this point of view.


    "The heavens are the gods ¡­" This book explained the origins of the heavens. It turned out that the heavens mentioned in the ancient books were gods, and the ancient top ten sects were the apostles of the heavens. Di Chen silently thought that the books that made it difficult for him to write in Eternal Gate were all meant to please the heavens, but who was the one who wrote this book, and why was this person defying the heavens?


    Di Chen could faintly feel that the Martial Region Continent was hiding a secret that no one else knew. However, this secret was not something that the current Ye Puti could touch.


    "Even the heavens can''t trust me," Di Chen thought to himself. Luckily he didn''t read those books of the Eternal Gate s earlier, otherwise, he would definitely have been affected.


    Suddenly, a huge force of scholar power surged into Di Chen''s body.


    "Hmm? "What''s going on?" Di Chen had never felt such a strong power from a scholar, to the point where it seemed to have a faint hint of wanting to break through the Scholar''s double stage.


    It was rather difficult for a scholar to break through, and they needed to comprehend the dao, but Di Chen had only casually flipped through the book a while ago, he did not expect that he would receive such a huge amount of power. At this rate, Di Chen felt that he could quickly break through the student''s double stage.


    On the surface, the wizard tower only had nine levels, which corresponded to the nine realms of a Martial King. However, the wizard tower was actually only at the tenth level, which was not something an outsider could enter.


    In a room on the tenth floor, there were three people. One of them was an old man with white hair, who had an air of a sage, with his hands behind his back, he looked at the circular mirror in front of him, and through the reflection of the mirror, he could see that every single person within the wizard tower s body. His name was Hen Zhen, and beside the old man was a woman of about thirty years of age, dressed in red clothes with tied up hair, appearing very dignified and beautiful.


    The three of them looked at the mirror. In the mirror, they could see a young man reading a book, and that young man was Di Chen.


    Hen Zhen laughed: "This is our mistake this time, I did not expect that literati would actually come in, this wizard tower is useless to literati."


    In the common area of wizard tower s, one could control a person''s spirit energy and could not kill a person. However, the literati used the power of a scholar, so Di Chen could kill a person.


    He then turned and smiled at Di Chen, "Speaking of which, he''s really powerful. A literati with such immense power, and a martial soul he cultivates, is even stronger than a scholar, and is only around the same level as a warrior. However, he doesn''t have any Origin Energy, so I wonder how he cultivates it."


    The three saw Di Chen''s previous actions, so of course Di Chen''s identity couldn''t be hidden from them.


    Le Rong chuckled and said, "He is indeed powerful. He even found out about our puppet."


    Earlier, Di Chen had specially gone to the first floor and third floor. After following the puppets for a while, Le Rong knew that Di Chen had found the puppets, and that it wasn''t easy for him to find those puppets. Di Chen was the first one.


    "Why don''t we go test his strength?"


    Hen Zhen suddenly said with interest: "If he fulfills our requirements, he''ll join us."


    Qin Wentian furrowed his brows, "But you have to reach the Martial Saint after joining us. He''s only a Martial King right now, and he''s way too weak. Aren''t you making this decision too early?"


    Le Rong was also puzzled, "That''s right. Although he is a genius, with his personality, it is very easy for him to offend others. If he dies, no matter how talented he is, it will be useless."


    Hen Zhen smiled and said, "I believe him, he won''t die so easily. I can faintly feel that his strength is comparable to someone at the Third Level of the Martial King Realm.


    Le Rong and Qin Wentian were both stunned as they thought to themselves, with Di Chen''s current strength, he could at most deal with a fourth stage Martial King. He would definitely die when facing a fifth stage Martial King, is Hen Zhen trying to test him or trying to kill him?


    But having said that, if Di Chen could defeat a level 5 Martial King, it meant that he was very strong. Only such a person would have the qualifications to join.


    Hen Zhen waved his hand, and two more women appeared in the mirror. One was Luo Yumeng, the other was You Qin, his eyes narrowed, and she took out an order badge from her robes.

 C184

    On the third floor of the wizard tower.


    He wanted to find Luo Yumeng to take revenge for him, but Luo Yumeng did not know what kind of agreement she had reached with Di Chen, to not be willing to find trouble with Di Chen, this was completely out of his imagination.


    "You want revenge?" Just then, an old man appeared behind Hei Yu. He was Hen Zhen.


    Hei Yu looked at Hen Zhen carefully, but he did not see through Hen Zhen''s cultivation, and frowned: "What do you mean?"


    Hen Zhen laughed and said: "You don''t need to hide it, I know that your points were stolen just now and you only want to take revenge, but your strength is not enough, you cannot take revenge, I have a Spirit Enhancing Pill with me, it can forcefully raise your cultivation by two small realms, if you want it, I can give it to you."


    "Spirit-Strengthening Pill?" This pill could forcefully increase a person''s small realm and it would not bring about any side effects. However, a person could only consume one pill, he had seen this pill before, and it would cost at least 5000 points. So Hei Yu naturally could not afford to buy this pill.


    Hei Yu had a face full of doubt: "This pill is very precious, what right do you have to give it to me?"


    "If you''re afraid it''s fake, then you don''t have to take it," Hen Zhen said with a casual smile. He immediately threw the pill at Hei Yu, then turned and left.


    Hei Yu received the pellet, and suspiciously looked at Hen Zhen''s back figure. He could feel that the pellet was real, but he really couldn''t understand why this old man would give it to him.


    Hei Yu hesitated for a moment, he did not dare take the pellet at the start, but when he thought about how Di Chen snatched away his points and was not convinced, he still swallowed the pellet into his stomach. Following that, a burst of energy surged into his flesh and blood, and he could feel that this power was about to spill out of his body.


    Hei Yu was pleasantly surprised. He did not know why the person would give him this pill, but that was not important. The most important thing was that with his current cultivation level, he would be able to get back his points.


    "He broke through!" The power of a scholar surged into Di Chen''s body. Di Chen could feel a strange power coming from his body. This was the power of a scholar''s double stage.


    "This book is really magical," Di Chen thought to himself, after casually reading a few books, he had broken through a small realm, if he continued to read it, he could still break through, but chasing after realms was not a good thing either, he wanted to first adapt to the current realm, and the amount of information in this book was too large, Di Chen was unable to accept it for a while, he wondered if he would be in danger after reading this book, if he were to believe the content in this book, it would be equivalent to defying the heavens.


    "My current realm is too low, so all of this doesn''t seem to have anything to do with me," Di Chen didn''t think too much of it as he put away the "Talking about the Heavens", thinking that it wouldn''t be too late to consider these things after he broke through the War God.


    However, after breaking through the War God, he would be able to go to the celestial domain through the Celestial Road, and at that time, he would be able to come in contact with the so called "Sky".


    "Di Chen..." Just as Di Chen was about to leave, a growling sound came out, and when Di Chen looked over, he realized it was Hei Yu.


    Di Chen felt that Hei Yu''s elemental energy was fluctuating strongly and he frowned. "You broke through to the fifth level of the Martial King realm?"


    Furthermore, he discovered that Hei Yu''s spirit energy was faintly leaking out of his body, which meant that he was unable to control his own spirit energy, and was most definitely trying to break through to the next realm.


    Hei Yu laughed coldly: "Di Chen, you didn''t expect this when you stole my points previously. I advise you to return my points to me, I can spare your life."


    Di Chen raised the book in his hand and laughed: "You came a little too late, I have already bought this book with all my points."


    "What?" Hei Yu knew that this book required 2000 points. Previously, he was still thinking who would foolishly spend 2000 points on this book, but this guy actually bought it?


    Hei Yu did not know that Di Chen was a literati, but he could not help but scold him loudly, and said angrily: "You idiot, to actually waste your points on this, even if you do not have any points, it does not matter.


    Compared to snatching back the points, he was more willing to kill Di Chen.


    Di Chen laughed: "I will not fight with you, you can buy a forced battle order to compete with me, but I previously stole all your points, so you should earn some first."


    With that, he calmly left. There was no need to fight with a person who didn''t have any points.


    Hei Yu had wanted to fight so much just now, but he had forgotten that there was no need for Di Chen to fight with him.


    "With my current strength, it''s not difficult for me to earn 100 points. Di Chen, just you wait."


    After Hei Yu finished speaking, he went to battle. A hundred points only required him to win ten matches, which was not difficult for the current Hei Yu.


    An hour later.


    When Hei Yu came out of his room, he had already won ten battles, which was faster than he had expected.


    "Di Chen, let''s see if you''ll die this time," Hei Yu''s face was filled with excitement, and then he went to the shopping area, but when he arrived, he saw Di Chen waiting there.


    Hei Yu was startled at first, but then sneered: "What, you knew I would definitely change for a compulsory battle order, so you waited here to die?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "If you want to fight with me, then why would you waste a hundred points? Let''s fight like this, if you win, you can kill me; if I win, you can give me that one hundred points, what do you say?"


    When Hei Yu heard this, he finally understood why Di Chen did not fight with him earlier. He did not have any points previously, so fighting with him would not be beneficial, but now that he had earned 100 points, no matter what, this battle could not be avoided, so he naturally wanted these 100 points.


    Di Chen also had that intention, he would not fight with others for no reason, but with points, things would be different.


    "Seems like you''re very confident. Then we''ll listen to you." Hei Yu laughed, then entered a room. Di Chen followed him in.


    Hei Yu leaped up and threw a punch at Di Chen.


    Di Chen could feel that this punch of Hei Yu''s was extremely powerful, so he similarly sent a fist out to meet it.


    The two fists clashed with a loud sound, but this time, Di Chen was forced to retreat by Hei Yu, and somersaulted a dozen or so times. Although his strength was comparable to Third Level of the Martial King Realm, he was still lacking when compared to Hei Yu who was at the fifth stage of the Martial King realm.


    Hei Yu still did not move, and laughed: "You''re only so-so, but in terms of strength, you''re much weaker than me."


    Di Chen thought that with the brute strength, he had previously defeated Hei Yu, but it seems that this time, he was unable to do so, he immediately took out two pieces of paper with the word "spear" written on it and extended, the power of the scholars flowed inside, and the two pikes flew towards Hei Yu.


    "This cultivation technique of yours is not as powerful as your strength. It is useless against me."


    Earlier, Hei Yu had easily defeated Di Chen''s formula, but was defeated by Di Chen using the brute strength. Hei Yu knew that Di Chen''s technique was not as powerful as his brute strength, so he was not afraid.


    Bang! Bang!


    A series of two explosions rang out, both spears had been destroyed by Hei Yu, but he had actually been forced to retreat a few steps.


    "Hmm? This time, Hei Yu did not dare be lenient, with a flip of his hand, rays of light shot towards Di Chen. This was the Pure Yang Palm that he had used before.


    Dei could tell that the power of this palm strike was obviously much stronger than before. This kind of attack range was simply unavoidable, so Di Chen immediately wrote a word of defense, forming a barrier in front of himself.


    "It''s useless," Hei Yu laughed coldly. I have already broken through to the fifth level of the Martial King realm, you won''t be able to block this attack.


    When the light beams struck the barrier, it released a pfft sound. The barrier produced many needle marks and then broke apart like glass, and the light rays also disappeared, allowing Di Chen to resist the attack.


    "What?" Hei Yu was shocked: "Your strength seems to be much stronger than before."


    Di Chen laughed: "That''s right, I also broke through a small realm, now it''s my turn."


    If Di Chen was still a scholar''s double stage, he would not be able to block this move, but right now, Di Chen had already broken through a new realm, adding that Hei Yu had forcefully broken through to the fifth level of the Martial King realm, he was still lacking when compared to those who had slowly cultivated to the fifth level of the Martial King realm.


    As Di Chen said this, he continued to write and fly towards Hei Yu, and four pikes shot out towards Hei Yu.


    Hei Yu had long since lost his martial soul, and could only use his black sword to forcefully resist. The first long spear was broken by him, but the second long spear left a mark on his black sword, the third long spear directly shattered his black sword, and the fourth long spear shot onto Hei Yu''s shoulder, causing his body to fly backwards.


    "Impossible," Hei Yu''s face was full of surprise. He did not expect that he, a level 5 Martial King, was not a match for his opponent. How could he be so strong?


    Di Chen laughed and said: "If you had come earlier, perhaps you could have defeated me. But it''s too late now, give me your 100 points, I don''t have to kill you."


    "You ¡­" Although 100 points were nothing to him now, giving it to Di Chen for free was still something he was somewhat unreconciled to do. It was just that Hei Yu had no other choice, giving Di Chen 100 points would only mean his death.


    Hei Yu gritted his teeth as he took out the Accumulation Mage Token and gave Di Chen a total of 100 points.


    Di Chen did not speak anymore and left the room.


    At the same time.


    In the tenth level of the wizard tower, Hen Zhen shook his head slightly. Previously, he had felt that Di Chen was only able to deal with fourth level Martial Kings, which was why he had chosen Hei Yu. However, he did not expect that Di Chen actually broke through to a small realm in this short amount of time, and still lost to him.


    He turned his gaze onto Hen Zhen and Le Rong and asked, "What do we do now? Do we still need to continue the test?"


    Hen Zhen smiled and shook his head, "There''s no need. He''s very strong and is qualified to join us.


    Outsiders were not allowed to enter the tenth floor, so Hen Zhen agreed to call Di Chen over to confirm his identity. However, this was in response to Wentian''s surprise, there was no one in their clan with such low strength.

 C185

    The moment Di Chen came out, he saw Hen Zhen waiting outside. It was obvious that he was waiting for him.


    "Is there something you need senior for?" Di Chen asked, he could not see through the old man''s cultivation.


    Hen Zhen laughed: "Come with me, I have something that I want to say to you."


    Di Chen thought that he might not be able to reject it, but after thinking about it, he followed along. After a moment, he arrived at the tenth floor, and upon entering the wizard tower, he saw Qin Wentian and Le Rong.


    "There''s another layer above this?" Di Chen was secretly surprised. The outsiders thought that the wizard tower was at the ninth floor, but in reality, they were at the tenth floor. These fellows from the tenth floor were clearly related to the wizard tower, and he did not know who they were.


    Di Chen looked around suspiciously, frowning: "You are?"


    Hen Zhen smiled and introduced himself, "My name is Hen Zhen and these two are respectively Wen Tian and Le Rong. The three of us are all members of the Heaven Gate ¡­"


    This was also because the sect kept a very low profile and did not interact with outsiders. The sect had very strict requirements on its members, the weakest was their Martial Saint Realm, and the members were spread throughout the entire Martial Region Continent, but the sect''s Sect Leader was also a mysterious person, and even the three of them had never seen the Sect Leader, it was also because they did not have the qualifications to see the existence of the sect.


    This wizard tower was refined by someone from the Heaven Gate, to be used to observe the strength of Martial Region Continent''s younger generation. If there was an expert, it could be accepted into the Heaven Gate.


    This was the first time Di Chen heard about this, and he said with a face full of shock: "I never thought that the Martial Region Continent had such a mysterious sect, but these are all the secrets of your sect, why do you guys want to tell me?"


    Hen Zhen explained: "We saw your performance just now, you are very strong, I believe your future achievements are limitless, so we made an exception and asked you to join us in advance."


    "Join you?" Di Chen frowned: "Whether I can even reach Martial Saint is unknown, isn''t it too early to join you guys now?"


    Le Rong chuckled and said: "It''s not early at all. I believe that you will definitely be able to break through your Martial Saint in a few years at the most."


    He turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian as he stated, "You will receive countless resources upon entering the Heaven Gate, and your cultivation will be faster as well. How about it?"


    Di Chen said helplessly: "Since you brought me here, it means that you never gave me the chance to reject you all right?"


    Just now, the three of them had already told Di Chen the secret of the Heaven Gate, so how could they give Di Chen the chance to refuse?


    Di Chen thought that if he were to object, then he was afraid that it would only end in death.


    Laughing, he continued, "You''re right, but it''s not a bad thing to join us. I can reveal one thing to you, the Flame Emperor of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty is a member of our Heaven Gate."


    "What?" was surprised. The Thousand Autumn Dynasty ruled over the entire Martial Region Continent, Di Chen had always thought that the Flame Emperor was a high and mighty being, but the Flame Emperor was actually a member of the Heaven Gate?


    If even the Thousand Autumn Dynasty''s Majesty was a member of the Heaven Gate, then how strong was the Heaven Gate, and what kind of power did he have to back him up?


    Hen Zhen threw a medicine bottle to Di Chen, and laughed: "Actually, you don''t have to be surprised, many of the powerful people in Martial Region Continent are all members of us, and you will have the chance to meet them in the future. Let''s not talk about this, this medicine bottle can be considered our greeting gift, and can increase your strength, but you are a literati, although our Heaven Gate has a literati, we are not familiar with you, and can''t teach you anything, you can only rely on yourself."


    Then, Hen Zhen took out a palm-sized command medallion and threw it to Di Chen, saying: "This is the Heaven Gate medallion, from now on, you are a member of the Heaven Gate, but you must remember, you cannot tell anyone your identity, including the people closest to you, go cultivate."


    Di Chen looked at the order badge. Originally, he had a lot of questions, but looking at their expressions, it seemed that they were not going to answer him. After all, Di Chen''s realm was low, and could only know a few ordinary things.


    "In the end, he still doesn''t believe us," Hen Zhen said as he looked at Di Chen''s back and laughed.


    He spoke to Qin Wentian, "This is also normal. His cultivation level is too low, and he actually doesn''t have the qualifications to come into contact with these matters. We would naturally be surprised if he were allowed to join us in advance."


    After all, the sect''s lowest requirement was Martial Saint. There weren''t many Martial Region Continent s, and Di Chen only knew that the s'' principal was Martial Saint. But today, he had entered a sect where Martial Saint was the lowest requirement, how could he not be shocked?


    Le Rong suddenly thought of those people from the sect and said, "If the other members knew we let a Martial King join, I wonder what they would say."


    In fact, it was already against the rules for a few people to let a Martial King into the Heaven Gate.


    Hen Zhen sighed: "I hope he can break through the Wen Sheng realm as soon as possible."


    Cultivating a scholar was more difficult. A scholar''s physique could not even compare to Martial Saint.


    Di Chen found an empty corner and took out the medicine bottle. He did not immediately start cultivating, but stared at the bottle for a long time.


    "Heaven Gate?" It was just that the Martial Region Continent s did not even have many War God s, making the Martial Saint quite rare, yet this sect was full of Martial Saint, if these people formed a sect, then that meant they had enemies as well. Di Chen thought, could it be that there was another sect that also had Martial Saint as the threshold?


    It was just that Di Chen didn''t really like the name of the Heaven Gate. With the heavens as his sect, Di Chen always felt that such a sect held the will of defying the heavens.


    Just by smelling this fragrance, he was already filled with energy. Di Chen took out a pellet and swallowed it, causing the pellet to melt in his mouth. A strong surge of energy entered Di Chen''s body, and Di Chen could feel his strength increasing by another level, to the point that he had reached at least the fourth level of the Martial King Realm.


    "A single pill raises it by so much?" Di Chen was secretly surprised, the effects of this pill was much better than those pills that were used to exchange for points.


    After a few days, Di Chen''s strength had reached the level of the fifth level of the Martial King realm. In other words, Di Chen''s martial realm had already reached the fifth level of the Martial King realm, which was much faster than when Di Chen absorbed Demonic beast flesh and blood.


    "When I first entered the wizard tower realm, I was already at the first level of Martial King. Now, I have already reached the fifth level of the Martial King realm."


    Di Chen thought that his training speed was really too fast, but the reason why he cultivated so fast was because of the pill, but he could not raise his cultivation level anymore, and being too fast would not benefit his cultivation, furthermore, Di Chen had to increase his cultivation level as well.


    "Di Chen..." A man''s voice sounded.


    Before this, he had come with Di Chen. He had called him "for the rest of his life", and when he entered, he was already at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm. However, he had already broken through to the Martial King level, so his cultivation speed was not slow either.


    "Senior-apprentice Brother for the rest of his life, what''s the matter?" Di Chen asked. He suddenly remembered that he had been treated with hostility for the rest of his life, and this was also because Di Chen had directly chosen to enter the wizard tower and passed the examination to enter the rest of his life.


    With a smile, he said: "Di Chen, how about we compete once?"


    Di Chen was startled: "There are so many people in this wizard tower, why would senior brother suddenly want to compete with me for the rest of his life?"


    He didn''t answer Di Chen for the rest of his life, and directly took out a compulsory battle order, and then the two of them entered a certain room.


    On the contrary, when Di Chen came over, he had already entered his room. He shook his head slightly and said, "Looks like you want to kill me for the rest of your life."


    He narrowed his eyes and said, "Teacher Dongfang Yue seems to value you a lot. I want to know why he values you so much."


    After saying that, he rushed towards Di Chen, his boundless elemental energy turning into a gigantic palm image that struck towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s cultivation was at the Scholar''s double stage, so when facing against a Martial King level person, he did not have much damage, and Di Chen could only use brute strength. He hurriedly punched towards the palm image and the palm image dissipated with a cry, causing Di Chen to retreat two steps, but it did not cause him much damage.


    "Did you catch it?" He was startled for a moment, he had wanted to use a killing move to kill Di Chen, but he did not expect that Di Chen could block it so easily.


    "Why do you want to force me to do that for the rest of my life, Senior Brother?" Di Chen could tell that the rest of his life was because he was determined to kill him, so he no longer held back his strength.


    After the space between his eyebrows for the rest of his life, a black panther roared out as it bit towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s fist landed on the black panther''s body, causing it to dissipate.


    "This ¡­" His own martial soul was actually destroyed so easily by Di Chen?


    After breaking through to the fifth stage of the Martial King realm, Di Chen did not know how strong he was. Just now, he had only used his strength according to the Black Panther''s strength, but he did not use its full strength.


    Di Chen thought that it must be because of those medicinal pellets, seems like those people also wanted him to quickly cultivate to the Martial Saint Realm.


    "Senior-apprentice Brother, you won''t be able to defeat me in the rest of your life. Give me your points."


    said calmly. Actually, he did not need any points right now, but he could give them to Qin Er and Liu Jingjing.


    "No, kill me if you have the ability," Ling Yun said as he clenched his teeth. Points were the most important thing, after all, the martial soul was already very angry after being destroyed for the rest of its life, so how could he be willing to give Di Chen his points?


    Di Chen slightly shook his head, he did not try to persuade his further, and with a single step, he walked to the front of his life, and slapped his chest with his palm.


    It felt like he was spitting out blood for the rest of his life, as though his body had flipped over. He did not expect that Di Chen would kill him so easily, without any hesitation at all.

 C186

    "He''ll kill me," This time, he was finally afraid for the rest of his life. When he saw that there was not a single trace of sympathy in Di Chen''s eyes, and he did not let go just because the two of them were from the same academy, he immediately said.


    With that, he threw the Mage Token back to Di Chen.


    Di Chen stopped and entered his points into his Mage Token. He had 200 points for the rest of his life, but he did not need those points for now. These points were better to give to Liu Jingjing and Qin Er.


    "Actually, I do not wish to kill you either. However, since you insist on forcing me, I cannot do anything about it."


    Di Chen returned the order back to him for the rest of his life, he turned and left, but just as he took a step, he stopped and looked back to the rest of his life: "I know you still want to find me for revenge, you can come at me, but next time I won''t let you off."


    He indeed wanted to take revenge, but when he heard this, his expression immediately changed. He knew that Di Chen did not mean what he said, that he would really kill him.


    "I will kill you," he muttered to himself for the rest of his life, and then left the room and went to the sixth floor to find An Yang.


    An Yang had a good relationship with the rest of his life, the two often cultivated together.


    "What''s wrong?" An Yang raised his eyebrows slightly as he saw the anger on his face for the rest of his life.


    He gritted his teeth and replied, "Just now, I went to find Di Chen for a duel. I didn''t think that he would actually destroy my martial soul and even snatch away my points."


    Di Chen had been selected by Dongfang Yue as the wizard tower, but he had come back again after the competition for the rest of his life, so he was a little unconvinced for the rest of his life. Earlier, he showed an expression that he would not let Di Chen off, but he did not expect to lose to Di Chen after the rest of his life.


    "When Di Chen came in, he was only at the first stage of the Scholar''s Realm. This wizard tower is a sacred cultivation ground for cultivators, but it wasn''t of much use to scholars. You are already a Martial King, so how could you lose?"


    An Yang was surprised. It was difficult for a scholar to cultivate, and the remaining strength of his body was not weaker than An Yang''s. An Yang did not think that Di Chen would be able to defeat him for the rest of his life.


    He said with hatred for the rest of his life, "This guy didn''t use his scholar cultivation technique at all, and defeated me with just the brute strength."


    An Yang knew that although Di Chen was not a warrior, he could still obtain power like a warrior. Presumably, this power was the strength that he gained through the competition, but when he entered the wizard tower, his strength was only at the level of a Level 1 Martial King.


    "We can''t just let this matter go," the man said as he clenched his teeth, "An Yang, go find Mu Feng and help me snatch the points back. If you can kill Di Chen, that would be for the best."


    An Yang suddenly thought back to the time when Di Chen had snatched away the red fog fruit. At that time, she had watched Di Chen snatch away a portion of the red fog fruit, and now that Di Chen had stolen away the remaining points, she found it unbearable.


    "I am now a Martial King, and I''m afraid I cannot beat him, so let''s go find Mu Feng," An Yang said seriously, and then left together for the rest of his life to find Mu Feng, explaining his purpose of coming here.


    Mu Feng frowned: "This Di Chen is arrogant, it is just that there is no enmity between Di Chen and I, why should I help you guys snatch back your points?"


    Mu Feng was a loner and did not like making friends with others. However, he would not offend them for no reason, so he did not want to help them.


    The remaining of his life he said, "Di Chen cultivates very quickly, I think he has at least 3000 points now. When I get all of them and give them to you, I just want to take revenge."


    "So many?" Mu Feng could not help but be shocked when he heard this number, fighting alone would require him to win at least 300 matches, but fighting alone was very dangerous, if he was careless he would lose his life, so most people only needed to fight for a few dozens of matches, obviously Di Chen''s points were not earned through fighting, furthermore everyone had been in the wizard tower for a while, Di Chen must have used his points to exchange for other things, but he still had so many points, how many points did he have earned in this period of time?


    "Alright," Mu Feng was moved as well, and said after hesitating for a while: "But this is a wizard tower, the public area cannot be used to kill people, how are you planning to rob them?"


    An Yang said calmly: "If he is unwilling to add points, then I will use the compulsory battle command to force him to hand over his points."


    Mu Feng thought for a while and said, "Then it''ll only need me alone.


    The wizard tower public area was unable to fight, so they could only use forced fighting orders to force others to hand over their points. However, Mu Feng was completely able to do this sort of thing alone, as the rest of his life did seem a little redundant.


    An Yang saw that Mu Feng did not want to cooperate with him and immediately said: "Di Chen still has Liu Jingjing and Qin Er by his side. Although Qin Er was normal before, but now that she is Teacher Dongfang Yue''s direct disciple, I believe that there is a reason why Teacher Dongfang Yue accepted her as a disciple, and Liu Jingjing, this woman cultivates even faster than all of us, perhaps she is already not weaker than us, and can''t even be compared to us in the wizard tower. You alone can threaten Di Chen, but as for leaving the wizard tower, they will look for you for revenge.


    Mu Feng thought that this was true, he had only considered the possibility of leaving the wizard tower, and did not consider the fact that they were still a threat. He needed his comrades.


    Mu Feng laughed: "You are right, let''s go, I really want to see how strong this Di Chen is."


    Now that Qin Er had broken through the Third Level of the Martial King Realm, her speed of cultivation was indeed very slow, but there was an immense amount of spirit energy in her body, although her spirit energy was no weaker than a level 5 Martial King, and Liu Jingjing had broken through the Martial King realm, her cultivation speed was even faster than Di Chen''s. With her strength, dealing with a level 7 Martial King was not a problem.


    "This wizard tower is indeed a holy land for cultivation. It''s only been two months since I''ve broken through from the first level of the Martial King realm to the power of the Martial King realm. Before I leave, I should be able to break through to the seventh level of the Martial King realm."


    Liu Jingjing was excited, cultivation outside was not as fast.


    Qin Er said regretfully: "It''s a pity that I only have Third Level of the Martial King Realm. Before I left, I could at most break through to the fourth level of the Martial King Realm, but my speed still could not reach the average speed."


    Entering the wizard tower could at least increase his cultivation by five small realms, and Qin Er''s cultivation speed was indeed much slower than ordinary people. This was also because of his innate talent.


    Di Chen advised: "Cultivation is not an easy task, it is not easy to break through four small realms, furthermore, your realm is weaker than others, but your strength is stronger."


    Qin Er felt a little better after hearing Di Chen''s comforting words.


    "Oh yeah," Liu Jingjing suddenly thought of something, and asked: "I heard that you offended another lot of people, did they come to cause trouble for you?"


    Di Chen said: "I don''t know why Hei Yu''s strength suddenly grew so strong, he wanted to snatch my points, but ended up getting injured by me. My fellow brother also wanted to steal my points, so I destroyed his martial soul."


    "The rest of my life?" Liu Jingjing was startled, but after thinking about it, she understood that for the rest of his life, she was not convinced because Di Chen had selected him. It was normal for him to come and kill Di Chen.


    Liu Jingjing was worried: "Although you and the other direct disciples did not have any conflict with each other, many of the direct disciples dislike you. Di Chen, I''m afraid the others will come and find trouble with you later."


    Di Chen thought that he would definitely not let his off, he took out his order badge and said: "There are points that I stole from inside here, Jingjing, Qin Er, I will give these points to you guys, I don''t need them anymore."


    Liu Jingjing was startled, she did not know why Di Chen did not need points, but since Di Chen said so, then he must have a reason, so she nodded.


    The points earned from Di Chen''s previous battle added with the points he had stolen from him, made up a total of three thousand points. He divided these points evenly between Qin Er and Liu Jingjing, and told the two of them to quickly exchange these points for the things that he needed so that they wouldn''t be robbed.


    Right at this moment, word Yang, life span, Mu Feng walked over. Liu Jingjing and Qin Er did not have the chance to exchange places.


    "They?" Di Chen knew what they wanted to do the moment he saw them for the rest of his life, but An Yang and Mu Feng''s appearance surprised him. Di Chen admitted that he had no grudges with these two people, and did not understand why they wanted to help for the rest of his life.


    Liu Jingjing also had a serious face, thinking that these three people were not easy to deal with.


    Mu Feng walked in front of Di Chen, and said with a smile: "I heard that you just stole Junior Brother''s points for the rest of your life. Di Chen, we are from the same academy, aren''t you going overboard by doing this?"


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "I have also advised my senior like this, but he insisted on stealing my points, I had no other choice."


    He had nothing to say for the rest of his life, this matter was his fault in the first place, he just did not expect that Di Chen''s strength would exceed his imagination.


    An Yang said coldly, "Di Chen, you stole my points for the rest of your life, yet you still want to find an excuse?"


    Qin Er choked: "Aren''t you here to snatch Di Chen''s points, why are you trying to find excuses?"


    An Yang originally wanted to refute her, but he swallowed his words back. There was no need for an excuse: "You are right, there is no need to find an excuse, just give us your points, we can let you off."


    The three of them were brimming with killing intent. It seemed that they would not rest until they handed over their points.


    Di Chen was not afraid either, laughing: "Senior brother Mu Feng has already fought with me for the rest of my life, and was destroyed by me, so I think that with Senior brother An Yang''s cultivation, he is probably not my match either. Senior brother Mu Feng is at the Seventh Stage of the Martial King Realm, and is stronger than me, but your overall strength is not stronger than mine, why do you think we should give you our points?"


    In fact, Di Chen had already given all of his points to Qin Er and Liu Jingjing, but he could not say these words.


    "Di Chen, I know that your talent is very good, I''ll give you a little more time. Perhaps you might surpass me in the future, but at the moment, you are still not my opponent, are you really not willing to hand over your points?"


    Mu Feng squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to kill Di Chen.


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "It''s impossible for me to just hand over my contribution points like that, you can use your compulsory combat order to threaten me."

 C187

    Mu Feng''s face turned gloomy: Using the forced fighting order is not as simple as handing over my points, I will kill you.


    Di Chen laughed and did not say anything. In fact, Di Chen did not have much confidence in defeating the three of them, so it was more likely that he would lose. Di Chen did not wish to fight with them, but if they used force, Di Chen would not be able to do anything.


    An Yang saw that Di Chen did not seem to have any intention of fighting, and spoke in an angry tone: "Mu Feng, use your forced battle order to compete with him, the loss of one hundred points, I will use silver coins to compensate you."


    His points had all been snatched away by Di Chen, so he only had a little silver left. This silver was useless in the wizard tower but could be used to buy pills outside.


    Mu Feng thought for a while, then nodded his head and took out a forced battle order, and Di Chen and Mu Feng immediately entered the same room.


    "I know you still hope to defeat me, but you have to know that once the battle starts, I won''t let you go. I''ll give you one last chance."


    Mu Feng squinted his eyes and said, he had already decided to kill.


    Di Chen continued to smile without a word, without bothering to speak any further with Di Chen, he leapt up, raised his Spirit Sword, and pierced towards Di Chen.


    "Earth-grade equipment?" Di Chen could tell that he was afraid that his martial arts skills could not handle this strike, he immediately punched Mu Feng, the berserk force gushing out.


    Bang!


    Mu Feng''s sword tip touched Di Chen''s fist, and Di Chen only felt a wave of energy merge into his fist.''s fist shattered, and blood splashed in all directions. At the same time, Mu Feng''s Spirit Sword was also shattered into pieces, and the two of them were forced to retreat at the same time.


    "Such powerful strength," Mu Feng was surprised. He knew that Di Chen was not weak, so he directly used his strongest Earth Tool, but this Earth Tool was actually destroyed by Di Chen''s fist?


    Mu Feng glanced at the sword fragments on the ground and said: "No wonder Teacher Dongfang chose you to enter. You are indeed powerful, but my sword has already destroyed an arm, let''s see how you continue to fight me."


    Di Chen laughed: "I did lose an arm because of you, but your Earth Tool is your strongest. Without it, it would be hard for you to kill me."


    Mu Feng laughed coldly: "You are a literati, but you did not use your scholar''s cultivation technique just now, which means that you know your scholar''s technique cannot withstand one of my attacks, so you can only use brute strength. I do not know why your strength is so great, but I have crippled one of your arms, so you are unable to use any strength, and I still have a martial soul, how do you think you can fight against me?"


    In Mu Feng''s opinion, Di Chen''s greatest trump card was his own strength. However, Di Chen, who had lost an arm, was simply unable to display his full strength, so Mu Feng was not worried that Di Chen would still be able to defeat him.


    Although this was the strongest opponent Di Chen had ever met, Di Chen still maintained his calm.


    Mu Feng saw that Di Chen did not seem to be afraid at all, and immediately tapped on the center of his brows, causing three sword images to fly out from between his eyebrows. Standing in mid air, he pointed the tip of the sword at Di Chen.


    "Three Sword Martial Spirit s?" Di Chen was secretly surprised, he had seen someone train with two Sword Martial Spirit s before, but this was his first time seeing three.


    With a tap of one hand, three Spirit Sword s fell from the sky like lightning. Their speed was extremely fast and their power was extremely strong, so any one of them who hit Di Chen would definitely die.


    Di Chen calmly looked at the three Sword Martial Spirit s, his gaze landed on Mu Feng, and laughed: "Do you really think I don''t have martial soul?"


    After saying that, he also pointed his finger at the center of his brows. Streaks of light shot out like golden needles and filled the entire space, causing the three Sword Martial Spirit s to dissipate bit by bit under the golden light.


    "martial spirit of light?" Mu Feng''s face was filled with shock. This martial spirit of light was the most powerful one among the martial soul. Di Chen was a literati, how could he have a martial soul?


    Mu Feng was simply unable to resist the light beam, which penetrated through his body and pierced thousands of holes through it. After a while, the light ray disappeared, and Mu Feng laid in a pool of blood like a sieve, on the verge of death, not even having the strength to swallow the medicinal pellet.


    Di Chen looked haggard and weak. This was already Di Chen''s limit as he staggered over to Mu Feng''s side and grabbed his Mage Token, directly inserting his points into his own plate.


    Mu Feng could only watch on helplessly as Di Chen did this, as he did not even have the strength to speak.


    "1,500 points?" Di Chen laughed, and thought to himself that these points were actually quite a lot. With these points, he would at least be able to raise Qin Er''s cultivation by a level, and then, Di Chen first took out a medicinal pellet to simply heal his injuries, before dragging Mu Feng out of the room.


    Outside the room.


    An Yang, Liu Jingjing and the rest had been waiting for Di Chen and Mu Feng, no one knew what the result would be.


    A few minutes later, the door finally opened, and Di Chen dragged the bloodied Mu Feng out.


    "Mu Feng lost?" He was shocked for the rest of his life. Previously, he lost to Di Chen because he was just a little bit weaker, so Mu Feng, who was a stage higher than him, should be able to defeat him.


    It would have been fine if he only lost, but Mu Feng''s current appearance was too horrible to bear, he was not far from death, he did not even have the strength to swallow the pills, if not for Di Chen being merciful, he would have died long ago.


    Di Chen threw Mu Feng in front of An Yang and the remaining of his life, then laughed: "Do the two of you still want to come?"


    An Yang hurriedly took out a pill and fed it to Mu Feng, only then did his injuries stabilize.


    "Di Chen," An Yang said angrily, "We are the same student, yet your attack is so heavy?"


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "I have no enmity with you, but you want to snatch my points, and even want to kill me, you are asking for it. An Yang, the last time you used me as bait, I already let you go once, and now you have no complaints and want to snatch my points, don''t blame me for this."


    An Yang''s expression changed as he asked: "Di Chen, what do you want?"


    Di Chen said in a low voice: "Give your points to me as well, or else I''ll forcibly snatch them away."


    Previously, Di Chen had let her go because he was also a direct disciple, but this time, he did not offend his, as he had angered him by stealing his points.


    An Yang was naturally unwilling to part with his points and said angrily: "Di Chen, your aura is weak, so I assume that you suffered serious injuries just now, and that you won''t recover that easily. With your current body, you won''t be able to defeat me."


    had already unleashed his martial soul, his martial soul was different from the others. Using it once exhausted a lot of energy, and required a long time to recover, but now, Di Chen truly did not have the strength to fight anymore. He smiled and said: "You are right, I cannot beat you, but Jingjing can defeat you."


    "She?" When An Yang said that the current Di Chen could not defeat him, it was just a guess, but in reality, she wasn''t confident either. Hearing Di Chen admitting it now allowed his to heave a sigh of relief, as for Liu Jingjing, she did not put him in his heart at all.


    An Yang mocked: Looking at your aura at least, you are cultivating rather quickly in the Martial King six stages, but do you really think that with your current strength, you can defeat me?


    An Yang had already been in the Martial King Realm for a long time, but he only broke through the Martial King realm when he was in the Third Level of the Martial King Realm. Although Liu Jingjing could cultivate very quickly after she entered the wizard tower, An Yang still felt that this kind of cultivation was forced upon him.


    Liu Jingjing also couldn''t be bothered to talk to An Yang anymore, she directly walked to a room and casually said: "If you''re confident, feel free to come."


    An Yang never thought that Liu Jingjing would actually dare to compare herself with her, she was not worried too, she thought for a moment and followed him in.


    "You are courting death," An Yang said as he conjured a Spirit Sword in his hand. With one leap, he pointed his sword at Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing tapped the center of her brows, and a bolt of lightning struck towards An Yang.


    "You''re using the martial soul so quickly?" From An Yang''s perspective, using the martial soul this quickly meant that Liu Jingjing was not confident, and wanted to use the strongest method to kill him from the start.


    An Yang''s sword struck against the lightning, and the lightning struck the Spirit Sword and made it hit An Yang''s body. An Yang let out a miserable cry as he was directly sent flying by the lightning and his arm turned into ashes.


    "How can her martial soul be so strong?" An Yang had a face full of surprise. It was obvious that Liu Jingjing had not even used his full strength just now, so she no longer dared to be careless. Similarly, a Four-tailed Demon Fox roared out from between her brows, and bit towards Liu Jingjing.


    The Four-tailed Demon Fox had always been sly. Being able to refine this Demon Fox into a martial soul was not easy.


    Another bolt of lightning shot out from between Liu Jingjing''s brows, striking the body of the demon fox, causing it to let out a blood-curdling screech, before instantly dissipating.


    "This ¡­" The Four Tailed Demon Fox was not an ordinary martial soul either, but Liu Jingjing''s lightning had no chance of resisting?


    Liu Jingjing said calmly: "Di Chen said that you were no match for me, yet you just did not believe him. Give me your points now, I can spare your life."


    Without the martial soul, how could he compare to Liu Jingjing?


    An Yang clenched his teeth, and threw the Mage Token back to Liu Jingjing. Liu Jingjing took her contribution points, for a total of 2000 points, which was not a small amount.


    Outside the room.


    The rest of his life, he had full confidence in An Yang. After all, in his eyes, he could even beat Liu Jingjing, let alone An Yang.


    Very quickly, the room''s door opened, the battle had happened too quickly. The two of them walked out one after the other, no one had any obvious wounds, they must have used pills to recover, but Liu Jingjing''s expression was calm, and An Yang''s face was pale. This showed that An Yang had lost the competition.


    "An Yang, you actually lost to her?" He couldn''t believe it for the rest of his life, Mu Feng and An Yang both lost?


    An Yang looked at Liu Jingjing with hatred. Even though she was unwilling, she was not a match for Liu Jingjing.


    Di Chen coldly looked at the remaining of his life and said: "I let you off this once, but I said if you still want to find trouble with me, I won''t let you off. For the rest of your life, Senior Brother, you should remember this, right?"


    When he saw the killing intent in Di Chen''s eyes for the rest of his life, he took a step back in fear and said, "Di Chen, what do you want?


    Di Chen laughed, his eyes suddenly releasing a black light, then he saw the life value above his head, the power of a scholar surging into that life value, slowly wiping out his life.

 C188

    The rest of his life was filled with the strength of a Martial King. It would be easy for Di Chen to kill him with the strength of a martial practitioner but Di Chen was a scholar so it would not be easy for him to wipe out the remaining life value of his life.


    "So cold," the rest of his life suddenly felt a cold energy coming from his body, cold to the bone, but why did this kind of feeling come from wizard tower?


    When An Yang saw that his face had turned pale, he hurriedly asked, "For the rest of your life, what happened to you?"


    He hugged his shoulder for the rest of his life and said, "I don''t know why, but I suddenly feel a little cold. Someone is attacking me."


    This was a wizard tower, the public area could not kill people, and could not use spirit energy, but with the exception of scholars, they could still use their power. Although Di Chen had not made his move yet, it was hard to guarantee that Di Chen would use some of the more evil techniques.


    "Di Chen," An Yang said angrily, "What did you do to yourself?"


    Di Chen laughed but did not say a word, continuing to use the power of a scholar to erase the remaining life points of his life.


    For the rest of his life, he would feel his body growing colder and colder, his hands and feet ice-cold, as if he didn''t have the slightest bit of warmth. He had a vague feeling that he was about to die.


    "Di Chen, don''t go too far." This time, he was finally afraid for the rest of his life, and his face was filled with fear.


    Di Chen said calmly: "I already told you before not to look for trouble with me. I''ve already given you one chance, if you don''t listen, who can you blame?"


    "You ¡­" However, as a martial artist, he was simply unable to use his spirit energy. Furthermore, he realized that he was also unable to stop Di Chen, and could only feel himself getting closer and closer to death.


    Mu Feng and An Yang were also shocked, Di Chen''s method of killing was too weird, they could not even stop him?


    "Di Chen, for the rest of your life?" At this moment, Jing Xi suddenly walked over. He had specially come over after his cultivation to see how the others were doing.


    "Senior Brother Jing Shi," Seeing Jing Xi''s expression, the rest of his life was filled with excitement, he rushed over and shouted: "Senior Brother Jing Shi, save me! This Di Chen wants to kill me!"


    He frowned: "What exactly is going on with Di Chen, are you really using the power of a scholar to kill for the rest of your life?"


    Of course, Di Chen wouldn''t admit it, and said: "What are you saying, I didn''t kill my Junior Brother for the rest of my life."


    "Nonsense," Jing Xiang scolded, "For the rest of your life, you''ve felt a chill, so you were obviously attacked by someone else. This wizard tower only has you as its scholar, who else could it be other than you?"


    Di Chen thought that this kind of thing could not be hidden from the public, and in the end, still retracted the power of the scholar. He had already wiped out more than half of his remaining life, and at most, he could only live for a few months.


    "Alright," the cold chill in his body for the rest of his life finally disappeared. Presumably, Di Chen had put away his technique, as he looked at Jing Shi and sighed, "Senior Jing Shi, I''m fine now."


    Jing Xi looked at Di Chen furiously and said, "What exactly happened here?"


    Di Chen calmly explained, "You wanted to steal my martial soul for the rest of your life, but in the end, you misjudged my strength and got your points stolen by me instead. For the rest of your life, you weren''t convinced by me, and you even had Senior Brother Mu Feng and Senior Sister An Yang come over to take revenge.


    "Nonsense," Of course he wouldn''t admit his mistake for the rest of his life, he retorted: "You were clearly the one who stole our points, I never thought that you would actually sue the evildoer first. Senior Brother Jing Shou, this Di Chen is too much, relying on his strength to steal our points, he even destroyed our martial soul."


    "That''s right," Mu Feng agreed. "The three of our martial soul have all been destroyed by him, this guy simply wants to kill them all."


    However, not only did Di Chen snatch away the points, he also destroyed three martial soul s. Although the cultivation levels of the three people had increased, the reality was that their strengths had become weaker, so how could Jing Xi, as the eldest senior brother, accept this kind of thing?


    "Di Chen," Jing Shi shouted angrily, "You went too far. Return the points to them."


    Di Chen frowned: "This matter was caused by them in the first place, why should I return the points to them?"


    Jing Xi whispered, "What is it? You''re not even going to listen to Eldest Brother''s words anymore? "


    Qin Er said angrily: "You can be reasonable even if you''re the Great Clan Elder. They came to snatch Di Chen''s points first, they deserved Di Chen''s points. What right do you have to meddle?"


    Jing Xi''s eyes were filled with killing intent as he said, "I said that I would return the points to him, don''t force me to make a move."


    No one had ever dared to go against his words, but today, Di Chen had refuted him, naturally making him angry, and even had a murderous intent in his heart.


    Di Chen knew that if he did not hand over his contribution points, he would probably make a move on them. He immediately took out his Mage Token and threw it to Jing Jing, "These are their points."


    An Yang saw that Di Chen had finally come to a compromise, and immediately said: "Senior Jing Shi, that Liu Jingjing''s points are mine, help me get them back."


    At first, Liu Jingjing did not want to give it to her, but when she saw the killing intent in her eyes, she immediately gave in and took out the Mage Token, throwing it at An Yang, she said: "I took two thousand points from her, and gave it back to her."


    Jing Shi said: "An Yang, your martial soul was destroyed by her, right?"


    An Yang clenched his teeth and said: "That''s her."


    Jing Xi calmly said, "That''s good. You can take all of her points."


    An Yang was immediately overjoyed and immediately took all of Liu Jingjing''s points. What surprised her was that Liu Jingjing''s Mage Token had a total of 6000 points, which was a whole 4000 points more than what she originally had, these points were enough to make up for the loss of her martial soul.


    The reason why Liu Jingjing saved up all these points was because she wanted to buy something. She said angrily: "Senior Jing Shi, you are going too far, they were the ones who started this matter first, and I stole her points was also her own. You actually let her take all of my points?"


    Originally, Liu Jingjing had no enmity with An Yang and the rest, but they had taken the initiative to snatch Di Chen''s points.


    Even if you hand over your points, what right do you have to meddle in other people''s business?


    Jing Jing didn''t have any room for disapproval. She replied, "I''m the Eldest Senior Brother. If the academy''s teachers don''t belong to me, I''ll give them an order. If you''re dissatisfied, feel free to look for me."


    They were at the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm then, and after a period of cultivation, he was already at the edge of Martial King so who would dare to cause trouble for him?


    Liu Jingjing did not say anything else.


    Jing Xi then looked at Qin Er and said, "Also, give them your points."


    Di Chen could not help but say angrily: "Qin Er''s points are all hers, she has nothing to do with this matter."


    He said calmly: "It''s obvious that the three of you are together, as long as you steal their points, you will definitely split them evenly. I thought that Qin Er would definitely get a portion of the points, even if she wasn''t fighting, she would actually already be involved in this conflict. You all destroyed their martial soul, so as one of you all, Qin Er naturally has to hand over your points as well."


    "You''re too excessive," Qin Er said angrily. "This is a point that I earned with great difficulty, why should I give it to them?"


    Jing Xi said in a low voice, "Don''t make me repeat it. I''ll give it to them when I say it."


    When he spoke, he revealed her killing intent, it seemed that if Qin Er did not hand over her contribution points, then Jing Tian would really kill people.


    Qin Er clenched her teeth, and in the end threw out her Mage Token to her. She took Qin Er''s points for the rest of her life.


    Now that you guys have destroyed their martial soul, their strength will be greatly reduced. If Dongfang Xiu found out about this, he would also punish you, and I let you guys take out your points for your own good. Just leave this matter at that, if you still want to find trouble with me, then I won''t be polite. "


    Then, he looked at the three remaining people and said, "You guys have obtained quite a few points, so the loss of the martial soul should be able to be made up for, this matter ends here."


    "Many thanks, Senior Jing Shi," the three of them bowed towards Jing Shi, glanced at Di Chen with ridicule, and left complacently.


    This time, the points they got were several times more than what they got before.


    Jing Tian didn''t say a word as he turned to leave. He didn''t even look at Di Chen.


    Di Chen knew that this was on purpose, he was a smart person, it was impossible for him to not be able to tell that this was something they had caused first, and then he still helped them snatch his points. He even stole Qin Er''s points, placed himself in the perspective of god to manage others, Di Chen could not bear it.


    One must know that these points could at least increase Qin Er''s and Liu Jingjing''s cultivation by a level.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Jing ¡­" Just as Jing Ji turned around, Di Chen''s voice came from behind.


    Jing Chen turned to look at Di Chen, but did not say a word.


    Di Chen said seriously: "You did this on purpose just now right, I don''t know what goal you have, but you stole our points, this matter will not disperse for now, there is still a month until we can leave, and in this month, I will take back our points. If I return it back on time, I will compensate you with the things you said, remember, you were the one who provoked me first, Qin Er, Jingjing, let''s go."


    With that, he left with Liu Jingjing and Qin Er.


    , Mu Feng, and the other two who were still alive looked at each other in dismay when they heard this. Did this Di Chen actually want to kill Senior Brother Jing Xi?


    He could sense the killing intent in Di Chen''s eyes, it was just that he could feel that Di Chen''s strength was only at the fifth stage of the Martial King realm, the cultivation level of a scholar should not have risen much, it was impossible for him to be his opponent. He was not afraid at all, it was just that he suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart, and felt that he was in danger this past month.

 C189

    "Senior Brother Jing Shi, this Di Chen is very dangerous. Just now, I felt that he had some enmity towards you, so I cannot allow him to cultivate like this."


    As An Yang walked towards the scenery, he reminded Yun Che, "It seems to me that it''s best if you kill him as soon as possible;


    Jing Xi calmly replied, "I consider myself to be fair. If he disagrees, then come and kill me. If he has the ability to do so."


    He would be able to break through Martial Monarch Level soon, but Di Chen was still a Martial King, so it would be impossible for him to kill him in the next month. After saying that, he turned around and left.


    Mu Feng stared at Jing Shi''s back and said softly: "Although Jing Shi was helping us this time, I have to say that he went overboard this time, to the point that he even stole Qin Er''s points from him."


    The rest of his life laughed coldly, "Jingwen is the eldest senior brother, he always makes our boss, and his words are orders. Whoever doesn''t listen to him will be disobeying his orders, and Ye Zichen''s refusal to hand over his points just now made him unhappy. Do you really think that he''s just helping us take revenge?"


    Anyone who disobeyed his orders would be angered. The three of them knew that although they had helped them during the battle just now, it was not fair. He just did not like Di Chen questioning his authority.


    Mu Feng chuckled: "I never thought that not only did we snatch the points, but we also caused a conflict between Di Chen and Jing Shi. This time, we will see a good show."


    "A good show?" "Di Chen can''t even beat Senior Brother Jing Jiu, what kind of show can we watch?"


    An Yang shook his head: "You''re wrong, Di Chen is a literati, his techniques are mysterious and his talent is good, his cultivation speed can be said to be very rare, I believe the reason why Di Chen dares to say that is because he is confident. It might be a huge disaster for Senior Brother Jing Xi to offend Di Chen."


    Speaking to here, An Yang was a little worried. Since he thought that offending Di Chen in public was a huge calamity, then wouldn''t it be a huge calamity if he offended Di Chen?


    Mu Feng also agreed, "For the rest of your life, have you forgotten that Di Chen used some unknown cultivation method to kill you?


    was obviously trying to kill him, but he didn''t even know how to resist. He could only helplessly feel his life flowing away, and now that he thought about it, he felt a bit terrified.


    If it was the rest of his life, he would definitely win. However, this time, he did not dare guarantee anything.


    "Di Chen," Liu Jingjing said worriedly: "Scenic times is Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm. After the wizard tower had cultivated this time, she had faintly reached the realm of Martial King. Can you kill him?"


    Di Chen analyzed: "My realm is at the fifth level of the Martial King realm, and my scholar''s realm is at the King Wen''s double stage. This kind of strength is definitely not enough to defeat him, if I want to defeat him, I have to at least cultivate to the seventh level, and my scholar''s realm is still at the fifth level of the King Wen. There is hope for my realm to reach the martial artist realm, but it''s not possible for my scholar''s realm to break through so quickly, so I''m not confident either."


    wizard tower was suitable for warriors to cultivate, but it was not suitable for scholars. If a scholar wanted to cultivate, they would have to read and write, this was not something that could be done overnight.


    Qin Er said in a daze: "Then what do we do? When we leave the wizard tower, Senior Brother will break through the Martial Monarch Level, and then you won''t have the chance either."


    A Martial King would not be able to break through the Martial King in the wizard tower, they could only approach the level of their Martial King infinitely, so their cultivation would still increase in the next moment, but it would be impossible for them to improve any further.


    "Wait for me here," Di Chen said as he went to the tenth floor. He thought that he could only ask for their help in this matter.


    After arriving at the tenth floor, he saw Hen Zhen. Le Rong and Qin Wentian had already left.


    Di Chen clasped his hands together, "Presumably, Senior already knows about my situation."


    Hen Zhen observed the wizard tower''s every move, and naturally knew about it. He smiled: "That person has already broken through the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, and with your current cultivation, the difference between him and yours is too great, it will be difficult for you to defeat him within a month."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "I''ve already said it, so I have to think of a way."


    Hen Zhen said with a tone of ridicule: "Who asked you to put on an act so early?"


    Earlier, Di Chen was unconvinced because his points had been stolen, and impulsively said that he had to steal back the points every month, but in reality, Di Chen was not confident, but since he had already said it, then he could not go back on his words, and now, Di Chen had no other choice.


    "Actually, it''s not that there are no methods. However, cultivation is your own problem. I can guide you, but I can''t always help you. So, you still have to think of a way yourself."


    Hen Zhen did not seem to plan to help Di Chen and spoke bluntly. This was normal, since Di Chen could be considered a member of the Heaven Gate, but to the members of the Heaven Gate, this kind of difficulty was nothing.


    Di Chen thought that he could only think of a way, and what Hen Zhen said was right, he couldn''t rely on Hen Zhen either.


    After leaving the tenth floor, Di Chen returned to Liu Jingjing and Qin Er''s place.


    Qin Er asked anxiously: "Di Chen, where did you go? Have you thought of a way?"


    Di Chen shook his head and laughed bitterly: "No, looks like this will really be troublesome."


    Di Chen alone could not think of a solution, but suddenly Di Chen thought of Luo Yumeng, thinking that she was the successor of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, and wondered if she would have a way, after thinking for a while, he immediately went to find her, even though her cultivation was not as high as when he met her, but she could only do it.


    Liu Jingjing and Qin Er were shocked to discover that Di Chen was looking for his, thinking that she had come to kill Di Chen earlier, what kind of agreement did Di Chen make with her, to actually ask for her help?


    "What is it?" Luo Yumeng was also surprised to see Di Chen.


    Di Chen described the entire situation, briefly describing Jing Shi''s cultivation.


    Luo Yumeng frowned: "A person with Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm? "With your current cultivation, you can''t even beat someone like him. Although I have a way, why should I help you?"


    Hearing that she had a solution, Di Chen was immediately overjoyed. After thinking for a bit, he smiled: "If I die, then you can forget about obtaining that thing."


    Luo Yumeng coldly snorted: "You still want to threaten me? Do you still want to threaten me with that every time you encounter danger? If that is the case, I would rather kill you right now. "


    Di Chen stole Luo Yumeng''s order badge, but he knew that if he used it to threaten Luo Yumeng, she would definitely resist him, and maybe even kill him in his anger, so Di Chen could not go overboard.


    "Help me defeat him, and I''ll return your things to you. From now on, we don''t owe each other anything."


    Di Chen changed his mind, thought for a while, then added: "However, this battle is indeed very dangerous, I really might die at the hands of that person."


    This also meant that if Luo Yumeng died, then Luo Yumeng really wouldn''t be able to take back that command medallion, and this could also be considered an indirect threat to Luo Yumeng.


    Luo Yumeng stared at Di Chen for a moment, then said: "I believe that this time, I can help you win this battle, but after this, if you don''t return that thing to me, I will definitely kill you, including the people beside you."


    When she spoke, her gaze was not only fixated on Liu Jingjing and Qin Er, although her cultivation was not as high as when she was at the moment of impact, but she had a power that caused people to be even more afraid, so even Liu Jingjing could feel her danger.


    "Alright," Di Chen agreed without hesitation.


    Luo Yumeng then said: "I only have one way now, it''s called the Revolving Star Passage Technique."


    This was a very magical cultivation technique, a martial artist could channel their spirit energy into another person''s body, forcefully raising their cultivation. This was equivalent to combining the cultivation of two people together, but there were no side effects, after finishing, they could return their cultivation to someone else, but this was not a danger, it was just that other people borrowed your cultivation but did not want to return it to you, at that time, you would become a cripple.


    "Revolving Star Passage Technique?" Di Chen muttered this name in his heart, thinking that this was a miraculous technique.


    Liu Jingjing said: "Di Chen, I am now a Martial King, and Qin Er is a profound practitioner. If the two of us infuse our cultivations into your body, you should be able to reach the eighth level of the Martial King realm, right?"


    Qin Er did not hesitate: "Then what are we waiting for, quickly send your cultivation to Di Chen''s body."


    Seeing that Liu Jingjing and Qin Er were not hesitating at all, Luo Yumeng taunted: "You two sure are bold, are you not afraid that he will not return your cultivations back when the time comes?"


    Liu Jingjing and Qin Er could not be bothered to care about Luo Yumeng, it was obvious that the two of them had complete trust in Di Chen, and did not believe that Di Chen would do such a thing.


    Luo Yumeng raised her eyebrows, and immediately gave up on the idea that Di Chen would not return their cultivations to them, and continued: "But just the two of you are not strong enough, that person has Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm and is about to break through, most Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm are not his opponents, not to mention that Di Chen is just a literati, so even with brute strength, he cannot win against him, unless he absorbs a few more people''s cultivation, but I think only the two of you can do such a thing."


    Di Chen thought: Other than Jingjing and Qin Er, there shouldn''t be anyone else who would believe me, looks like I have to think of a way to level up my cultivation realm.


    Although it was difficult to raise the cultivation realm of a scholar, it was a good thing that it saved Di Chen a lot of time to reach the realm of a warrior.


    "Others?" Qin Er thought for a while and suddenly said: "Why don''t we go and try it out with Yu Qianyi and the others?"


    Luo Yumeng struck out: Although you have helped them previously, but you are not familiar with them, do you think that he would be at ease in lending her cultivation to you?


    Qin Er had nothing to say, even she did not believe that Yu Qianyi and the others would even borrow it.


    It might be possible for them to borrow some points or silver taels, but that was a cultivation level that they could borrow. They didn''t even dare to believe their savior.


    Di Chen thought that he must do his best to raise his cultivation as fast as possible. Other than that, he had no other choice but to at least give it a try.

 C190

    "What?" Hearing Di Chen''s words, Fei Shuang cried out in shock, if it was just an ordinary trouble, then whatever, but Di Chen actually came to borrow cultivation?


    Yao Yao and Yu Qianyi looked at each other. Although Di Chen had saved them before, borrowing cultivation from others was too dangerous.


    Yu Qianyi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Di Chen, let''s not talk about this. If you want to bet points, we can give you some, but this cultivation level is ¡­"


    It was normal that he was not willing to give them to them, as they did not believe in Di Chen like Liu Jingjing and the others.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "I know that this is going a bit too far, but I have no other choice. If I can''t kill him within a month, then I will be the one to die."


    Fei Shuang advised: "That person is your senior brother, he also did not say that he wants to kill you guys. Although he has stolen a bit more points, you do not have to kill him in time, it will not be too late when you break through your Martial King."


    Di Chen shook his head, thinking to himself, how could it be so easy, this wizard tower was the best chance to kill him, it would not be easy to kill it.


    Luo Yumeng sneered on the side, it was exactly as she had thought, how could these fellows possibly lend their cultivation to Di Chen?


    They will be grateful to you when you save them, but there is a limit to their gratitude. They won''t die for you or sacrifice their cultivation.


    "Forget it," Di Chen thought that such a thing was indeed a little excessive and did not intend to persuade his further.


    "Wait," Yao Yao shouted, and asked: "Di Chen, what percentage of certainty do you have?"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "If my cultivation breaks through Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, once I reach the fourth stage of King Wen, I have the confidence to defeat him."


    Although those at the fourth level of King Wen could not kill Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, they could at least interfere with those at this level. If Di Chen practiced another set of formula, his chances of success would be even higher, with the strength of a martial artist, and the assistance of a scholar''s formula, he would have a lot of opportunities to kill Jing.


    Yao Yao said: "But you are only in the realm of King Wen''s double stage, right? There''s still a month''s time, are you confident that you can break through to the fourth level of King Wen?"


    Di Chen analyzed: "It''s a bit difficult, but if I wholeheartedly want to break through, I should be able to."


    Previously, Di Chen was not sure, but ever since Di Chen had offended the¡¶ On the Sky¡·, Di Chen was sure that the book contained a huge amount of scholar power, and that one month was enough for Di Chen to break through the fourth level of King Wen.


    Yao Yao was silent for a moment, then continued: Then, you cultivate in the scholar realm first, if you can reach the fourth stage of King Wen before we leave, I will lend you my cultivation, after all, if you die, then we will not be able to recover our cultivation, I am also worried, and during this period of time, I will also work hard to cultivate, and increase my cultivation as much as possible, at that time, I will also be able to lend you some too.


    He could tell that was the truth.


    "Yao Yao, this is not a joke," Fei Shuang said in shock, she did not expect Yao Yao to actually agree to this, what if Di Chen died or Di Chen won and did not return the cultivation level?


    Yao Yao waved her hand, and laughed: "If it wasn''t for Di Chen, all of our points would have been snatched away, and our cultivation would not have increased. It''s all thanks to Di Chen, I am willing to lend him my cultivation, I believe he would have returned it to me."


    Seeing Yao Yao''s determined face, Fei Shuang could no longer persuade him anymore.


    Yu Qianyi also agreed: "Then it''s decided, if you have the confidence to win, I will lend you my cultivation, but if you don''t have the confidence, then forget about it."


    "Alright," Di Chen said. In fact, he also had the same idea, if he could not reach the fourth stage of King Wen, even if he could cultivate to the ninth stage of King Wen, it would be of no use, and borrowing their cultivation too early would not be a good thing. In this month, every single one of them could break through a small realm, and at that time, he would be able to increase his cultivation by a bit.


    She thought that these people would not agree, but she never thought that Di Chen did not save them for nothing, they actually agreed to it, she thought that this time, Di Chen really had a chance to win.


    Di Chen bid farewell to Liu Jingjing and the others, and they entered the room to train, increasing their cultivation as much as possible, while Di Chen went to the tenth floor.


    "Is there a way?" Hen Zhen asked with a smile when he saw Di Chen.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "Senior Hen Zhen must have seen it too, they are prepared to lend their cultivation to me."


    Hen Zhen nodded his head and said: "Your luck is good, I never thought that Luo Yumeng would actually have such a miraculous cultivation technique like Star Shift, all of their cultivations are not weak, in a month, everyone''s cultivation will increase accordingly, at that time, you will have to borrow even more cultivation, and be even stronger."


    Di Chen thought that his luck was good, luckily he and Luo Yumeng had a good relationship, if not he would definitely lose, luckily he had the chance to defeat Jing Cheng, he had to quickly break through to the fourth stage of King Wen.


    Di Chen found a quiet corner and took out¡¶ On the Sky¡· to read it carefully. In an instant, he entered into a state of oblivion, and Hen Zhen retreated to the side, not disturbing him.


    To have such power meant that the person who wrote the book was a literati, and his realm was very high, perhaps even becoming a Wen Shen already. If it wasn''t for the Wen Shen, he wouldn''t dare to talk about it too much.


    After that, Di Chen was completely immersed in his cultivation, the power of the scholars surging into his head like a tidal wave.


    Previously, when Di Chen wanted to level up as a scholar, he needed to comprehend the Dao, but now that Di Chen was able to obtain the power of a scholar just by reading, the 2000 points were indeed not spent in vain.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen had not heard of these people''s names before, but it was as if all of their names contained a God Power. According to the records in the books, these people were gods from the heavens, and had control over everything in the world, Di Chen knew that after a warrior had cultivated to the War God, they would have earth-shattering powers, but this only meant that a person was very strong, and was not a God who could move the mountains and fill the seas. However, the person in the book was a true God.


    "War god, thunder god, rain god ¡­" Names appeared one by one in the book. These gods divided up their work, and in turn, they were controlled by another person, the Celestial Emperor.


    Di Chen thought to himself, could there really be a group of Gods in the sky?


    However, Di Chen had never heard of a God Realm or a group of God Realm warriors in his many years of cultivation.


    "After warriors reach the realm of warriors, they can go from Celestial Road to another world to cultivate. If this world is like the world of gods, doesn''t that mean that these gods are actually just experts of the War God realm?"


    When Di Chen thought about it this way, he could understand why. It was as if the existence of these gods were not really that magical. Martial Region Continent had existed for so many years, who knew how many warriors would be able to become War God.


    "Perhaps the gods of this world and the people of the Martial Region Continent are the same. They begin their cultivation in the War God and reach a new realm."


    Di Chen thought that he could cultivate endlessly. From this book, he could see that there was another scene on top of the War God, but it was just that ordinary people on top of the Martial Region Continent didn''t have the qualifications to touch it.


    After that, Di Chen immersed himself in the contents of the book. As he read, he realized that this book did not have any major principles that were worth comprehending, but it had recorded some unimaginable things.


    "Di Chen, Di Chen..." Hen Zhen''s shout suddenly came from the side.


    Di Chen finally awakened from his cultivation. He looked at Hen Zhen and asked suspiciously, "Senior, is there something you need?"


    Hen Zhen laughed: "I''ve been staring at the book like that for the past twenty days, I''m afraid you''ve missed the time."


    "Twenty days?" Di Chen was slightly taken aback. He felt that he had only looked at it for a few hours.


    Di Chen cursed inwardly. He had not cultivated for the past twenty days, so he immediately checked his body and was surprised to find that he had unknowingly broken through to the fourth level of King Wen. He actually did not feel anything at all.


    "He actually broke through?" Di Chen sucked in a cold breath. This breakthrough came without any warning, and even he couldn''t believe it.


    Hen Zhen looked at Di Chen''s shocked face and laughed: "I saw that you were in a daze the entire time and didn''t disturb you. How''s your cultivation progress?"


    Di Chen said calmly, "I have already broken through the fourth level of King Wen, but even I did not realize it myself."


    Although he had reached the requirements to become a scholar, Di Chen was not too happy. He felt that there was a big secret in this book, the author of the book must be trying to tell someone else, but Di Chen had only read half of the book, so he was not in the mood to read it for the time being.


    "Oh, right," Di Chen changed the subject as he asked, "Senior, have you read this book before?"


    Hen Zhen laughed: "Of course I''ve read about it before, this book records matters of the heavens, what about it?"


    Di Chen said: "There are a lot of names in this book, all of them are gods, are the people inside really true?"


    According to Di Chen''s previous understanding, the highest realm of warriors was the War God. However, this book only said that it was the beginning of another world''s War God, and there were even more realms within them.


    Hen Zhen took the book and casually flipped through it, and said: "The content in this book is naturally true, the people inside are all the War God s that were trained and created back then. Of course, these War God s have already gone to the celestial domain, and the celestial domain is not something that we can imagine."


    These warriors had already reached the realm of gods. They were in charge of the Martial Region Continent, and were existences that were far away from reach.


    Di Chen asked curiously: "But who wrote this book, it says that the heaven and earth are heartless, it is obviously a book that opposes the heavens. I have read many ancient books before, none of these books are not flattery, they are the complete opposite of this book."


    Di Chen thought to himself, those books would make people flatter him, but this one was against the heavens, which meant against the gods, what kind of guy would do such a thing, was this person dead, or was he also in celestial domain?

 C191

    "Di Chen, there are some things that you cannot understand with your current cultivation. You will know once you break through to become a Wen Sheng one day, and you will be able to reach their level once you break through to Wen Shen."


    Hen Zhen said calmly: "Right now, you should cultivate properly. Don''t ask too many questions that shouldn''t be asked."


    Di Chen thought that Hen Zhen definitely knew something that he did not know, so he kept the book. Now that he had already broken through to the fourth level of King Wen, he did not need to cultivate anymore. What he needed to do now was to cultivate an additional set of formula.


    Di Chen once again flipped open the astronomical formula, and after the Spear Arts came the tiger formula. This tiger formula was able to trigger the demon tiger''s power, it''s power was very strong, and could be learned at the fourth level of King Wen.


    "This formula is too ordinary," Di Chen thought to himself, the might of the tiger formula was not weak, but there were too many similar tiger formula cultivation techniques, and it was probably useless in battle. Di Chen continued to flip through the formula s, and knew that there were not many in the fourth level of King Wen who could train.


    "Turtle formula?" Suddenly, Di Chen saw a mystical technique. This formula could transform a person into a turtle for 5 seconds, allowing it to retain its human nature after transforming into a turtle, but it was unable to use its spirit force or technique. However, once it received any damage, it would transform into a person, a very interesting type of formula.


    This was the first time Di Chen had seen this kind of formula, after thinking for a while, he took out a pen and paper and started to write the word turtle. This turtle formula did not have much damage, Di Chen originally thought that cultivating was easy, but he did not expect that just writing a portion of his own literary power would be used up.


    "The consumption rate is this fast?" Di Chen was secretly surprised, this formula had consumed even more energy than his Spear Arts, the more it consumed the power of a scholar, the more powerful it was, Di Chen thought that he had probably underestimated this formula.


    After that, Di Chen started to train with the turtle formula, it was even harder to cultivate than he had imagined. Di Chen also stopped and trained, it took a whole five days to finish training with the turtle formula.


    "With my current strength, I am afraid I can only use the turtle formula once. It would be too dangerous to use it in battle." Di Chen thought that if the turtle formula was not able to use its power as it should, he would definitely die, furthermore, the speed at which the turtle formula was using it was relatively slower, so he was afraid that the turtle formula would be killed before it could even complete its technique. What Di Chen needed to do was to write the word turtle on the paper beforehand, this way it would only require the activation of a little bit of scholarly person''s power.


    Di Chen then wrote the word tortoise on the paper. After writing it, he exhausted all the power of his scholars, and after a few hours of recovering his powers, he wrote the word tortoise repeatedly. Finally, Di Chen managed to write five tortoises before he stopped.


    "You still have three days before you leave the wizard tower. You still haven''t finished cultivating."


    In the past few days, he had seen that Di Chen had always been training, but he was not familiar with the cultivation of the scholars, so he did not know what Di Chen was busy with.


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "I''m almost done cultivating, the power of a scholar is a bit stronger than I thought, the next stage is the realm of a warrior. Senior, I will be leaving first."


    Originally, Di Chen thought that he could only barely break through the fourth level of King Wen. However, not only did he break through to the fourth level, he had also cultivated a cultivation technique.


    "You''re done cultivating?" After Di Chen left, he found Luo Yumeng. Now that Luo Yumeng had reached Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, her speed was very fast.


    Di Chen laughed: "He is already at the fourth level of King Wen, and has even cultivated an interesting formula."


    Luo Yumeng tilted her head and said to Di Chen: "You seem to be very confident."


    Di Chen did not answer directly, and said: "Let''s not talk about this first, you can teach me the Stellar Transposition first."


    Luo Yumeng nodded her head, and went to find a corner with Di Chen to explain the cultivation technique, which Luo Yumeng had learnt by coincidence. The cultivation technique could absorb another person''s cultivation, and could also transfer his cultivation to another person.


    In other words, if the other party didn''t want to give it to you, then even if you practiced this Revolving Star Passage Technique, it would be useless. Thus, normally speaking, this cultivation technique was just a weak point, so cultivating it wasn''t too difficult.


    Di Chen carefully listened to Luo Yumeng''s explanation, but luckily, the cultivation technique did not require spirit energy, and with Di Chen''s talent, understanding it was not difficult, in just one day, he had learnt the Revolving Star Passage Technique, and then Di Chen found Liu Jingjing and Qin Er.


    Liu Jingjing, Qin Er and Di Chen had been cultivating ever since they parted ways. Now that Liu Jingjing had broken through to the seventh level of the Martial King realm, Qin Er had also broken through to the fourth level of the Martial King realm.


    "Are you ready?" Di Chen looked at Liu Jingjing and asked.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Ready, let''s begin."


    Di Chen slapped his chest as her cultivation dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. She could feel his strength getting smaller and smaller, and his body had a sense of weakness, while Di Chen''s cultivation was slowly increasing, reaching the eighth level of the Martial King realm after completely absorbing the power. However, this realm did not seem to be ordinary, as if he had just broken through the eighth level of the Martial King realm.


    "How are you?" Di Chen saw that Liu Jingjing''s face was pale white, afraid that the technique would harm her.


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "I feel like I''m an ordinary person now, I''m not used to having no cultivation for the moment, but I don''t feel anything special."


    When Di Chen saw that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. At least the Revolving Star Passage Technique did not have any side effects.


    "It''s my turn," Qin Er laughed.


    Di Chen then slammed his palm on Qin Er''s body, absorbing Qin Er''s cultivation into his body. After absorbing her cultivation, Di Chen had completely consolidated her cultivation at the eighth level of the Martial King Realm, and his strength had increased by a large amount.


    Di Chen still had no confidence in not being able to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm realm. He then found Yu Qianyi and the other two, who were all at the fifth level of the Martial King realm.


    "Di Chen, have you broken through to the fourth level of King Wen?" After all, if Di Chen was not confident, she would not dare to lend his cultivation to Di Chen.


    Di Chen nodded his head: "A scholar''s realm is much more smooth than I imagined, they are already at the fourth stage of King Wen. Just now, Qin Er and Jingjing lent me their cultivation, and I am now at the eighth stage of the Martial King Realm, but I am still lacking to defeat the scenery, so I need your help."


    Yao Yao saw that Di Chen was not confident, and said: "Then take it."


    "Yao Yao..." Fei Shuang saw that Yao Yao did not hesitate to stop him, after all, they had only known each other for two months, it was too dangerous to pass on their cultivation to the other party.


    Yao Yao laughed: "It''s fine, I believe in Di Chen. Di Chen, come."


    Di Chen slapped his body, Yao Yao''s body seemed to have been cut open, her cultivation crazily rushed into Di Chen''s body, while Yao Yao felt that her body was getting weaker and weaker, as though he had lost all his energy. A few minutes later, her cultivation had entered Di Chen''s body.


    Fei Shuang saw that Di Chen had finished absorbing the cultivation, and anxiously asked: "Yao Yao, are you alright?"


    Yao Yao''s face turned pale white: I''m just a bit tired, I don''t really feel anything, this technique is truly mystical.


    She was only at the fifth stage of the Martial King realm before, so suddenly becoming a normal person without any cultivation would definitely make her tired. She then looked at Di Chen and asked: "What realm are you in now?"


    Di Chen said with a wry smile. "He''s still at the eighth level of the Martial King realm, just a little bit away from the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm."


    Yao Yao was only at the fifth stage of the Martial King realm after all. Her strength was weaker than Qin Er''s, so her improvement towards Di Chen was naturally relatively small.


    Yu Qianyi walked in front of Di Chen and said: "Once you absorb more of my cultivation, you should be able to break through your Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm."


    Di Chen once again absorbed Yu Qianyi''s cultivation, and this time, Di Chen broke through his Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm.


    "I''ve finally reached the ninth stage," Di Chen was overjoyed, but then revealed a troubled expression: "However, this realm is still not stable enough. I''m still a little bit away from the painting, so I still need to absorb more."


    If he were to enter the wizard tower in the right time, he would only be able to consolidate his cultivation. Once he leaves this place, it would only take a little while before he can break through the Martial King realm.


    Yu Qianyi thought for a while and asked: "Then after you absorb Fei Shuang''s realm, you should be able to consolidate your Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm right?"


    Di Chen nodded.


    "No," Fei Shuang rejected. "Di Chen, it''s not that I don''t believe you, but if you lose in the end, our cultivation would be wasted.


    "Fei Shuang, before..." Yao Yao still wanted to advise Fei Shuang.


    Yao Yao interrupted: "Yao Yao, you don''t have to advise me, I can borrow points, but I cannot borrow cultivation."


    On one hand, he did not believe that Di Chen would win, and on the other hand, he was worried that Di Chen would not return his cultivation back to him.


    How could Di Chen not know what Fei Shuang was thinking? He smiled and said, "Borrowing cultivation is indeed too dangerous, it''s fine."


    Although Di Chen looked like he did not care, Di Chen was actually a little angry in his heart. Previously, he had helped them to win a lot of points, but now, he did not help them.


    Liu Jingjing and Qin Er were also slightly angry, but the two did not say anything.


    Luo Yumeng said: "Di Chen, although you have also broken through the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, your realm is unstable, I am afraid that with your current strength, you are still unable to compete against the current situation."


    Di Chen pondered: "If I were to step by step to cultivate to Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, I would have a 100% chance of defeating him, but I borrowed your cultivation to break through to this realm, I don''t have much confidence, unless I absorb another person."


    It was just that Di Chen did not know anyone else, and no one was willing to lend their cultivation to Di Chen. Of course, if Di Chen could increase his cultivation to the fifth stage of King Wen, then there would be another chance, but Di Chen did not have that chance right now.


    "I will lend you my cultivation," Luo Yumeng suddenly said.


    Di Chen was startled: "You''re not afraid that I won''t return it to you?"


    Luo Yumeng did not know Di Chen well, and Di Chen had always been threatening him with his order badge, so Luo Yumeng being willing to lend his cultivation to Di Chen was shocking, even Qin Er, Liu Jingjing and the others did not expect it, but Fei Shuang was surprised. Previously, she had always said that it was possible that Di Chen would not return his cultivation level, so Fei Shuang was not willing to, but now, she was lending her cultivation to Di Chen?

 C192

    "I still have something with you. Like you said, if you die, then that thing won''t come back, so you can''t die."


    Luo Yu calmly said, "With your current cultivation, you can''t beat him, but you can win if you absorb my cultivation. However, when the time comes, you must return my cultivation to me intact."


    Di Chen secretly thought that Luo Yumeng viewed the order badge as more important than his life, it was normal that she would take such risks, he nodded her head and continued to absorb Luo Yumeng''s cultivation, Luo Yumeng''s strength was much stronger than the others, after Di Chen absorbed his cultivation, he not only broke through Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, but he also had a faint feeling that he could break through Martial Monarch Level at any time, and most importantly, he had not completely absorbed Luo Yumeng''s realm, as Luo Yumeng was currently in the Third Level of the Martial King Realm, if he continued to absorb Di Chen''s power, he would not be able to improve, it would only be a waste.


    Luo Yumeng asked: "Are you confident now?"


    Di Chen felt the immense power in his body and said: "The power of the warrior has already reached its peak, I will not be able to level up anymore. With my current strength, I should be able to defeat Jing Jing."


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "Then what are we waiting for, let''s go, there''s still one more day before the wizard tower closes, we can''t let Jing Xi escape earlier."


    Actually, Jing Xi had already reached the extreme of his Martial King Realm and there was no need for him to stay in the wizard tower anymore. He could leave at any time, so Di Chen naturally would not let him go.


    Luo Yumeng and the rest followed along, it was obvious that Di Chen was very confident, which made Fei Shuang a little uneasy, as the others had all lent their cultivation bases to Di Chen, and Luo Yumeng was the same, yet he did not, because he was afraid that in the future, even if he met with danger, Di Chen would not be able to help him.


    In the beginning, he did not believe in Di Chen, but now he was slightly regretful.


    He was also cultivating during this month''s worth of time. Even though he didn''t understand how things had progressed, he could still earn some credits to exchange for medicinal pellets and techniques in preparation for breaking through his Martial Monarch Level after he left.


    "Senior Brother Jing Xi, you don''t seem to be worried at all."


    An Yang thought about Di Chen''s warning earlier and felt a bit of lingering fear. "Aren''t you afraid that he will seek revenge?"


    Jing Xi calmly replied, "I admit that I''m not in the wrong. If he''s willing to come and cause trouble for me, then come. I''ll teach him a good lesson."


    He treated himself as the main character, so naturally, if Di Chen did not listen to his arrangements, he would have the qualifications to teach Di Chen a lesson, even if this was his own opinion.


    Mu Feng said: "Although this Di Chen has good talent, he is still far inferior to Senior Brother Jing Ji. It is impossible for him to defeat him in a month''s time."


    Even before he had entered the wizard tower, he already had signs of breaking through the Martial King. At most, Di Chen could only deal with people at the seventh level of the Martial King realm, but he was still far from being able to deal with people at the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm level.


    The remaining time in his life laughed coldly, "Tomorrow is the day the wizard tower closes. If he wanted to come, he would have come long ago. I think he''s just putting on an act."


    He was still a little afraid of Di Chen in his remaining life, but it had been so long since he last lived, and the fear he had towards Di Chen had decreased by a lot as well. In his opinion, Di Chen must be scared now, and didn''t dare to come at all.


    "Hmm?" Just at this time, he suddenly looked in a certain direction and noticed that Di Chen was walking over with a few people.


    Seeing Di Chen, everyone was startled, he actually came, could it be that he had the confidence to defeat Di Chen?


    Other than Di Chen, there were also a few other strangers. These were probably Di Chen''s helpers, but what surprised the few of them was that their spirit energy seemed to be very weak, especially Liu Jingjing and Qin Er, they looked just like regular people.


    Di Chen walked in front of Jing Shi and laughed: "When the prospects are prospects, senior brother stole a lot of my points, is Senior Brother Jing Xi ready to return it to me?"


    "I didn''t steal your points, I just wanted you to compensate An Yang and the rest with your points."


    Qin Er thought for a while, then became angry: "This matter was obviously instigated by them, it''s one thing for you to meddle, but you are still not being reasonable, taking away all of our points, who do you think you are, relying on your cultivation to force others to do what they want?"


    When An Yang and the others heard this, their faces all changed. Everyone knew that Jing Hao hated people using this tone to talk to him.


    He said with a darkened face: "Qin Er, I have just heard that you are a direct disciple and do not understand our rules. This time, I will not hold back, but if there is a next time, I will not hold back."


    Qin Er did not dare refute Jing Hao.


    Di Chen laughed: "Senior Brother Jing Shi, you won''t have another chance."


    Jing Xi''s expression turned serious as he said, "What? Do you still want to kill me?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "I already said that I would take back the points that Senior Shi down."


    The meaning in his words was that if Di Chen did not have the corresponding points, he would kill him.


    An Yang and the other two could not help but feel nervous. It was the first time they heard Di Chen speak so directly, so it seemed that Di Chen was really going to kill someone this time.


    Jing Xi stood up and calmly said, "I don''t have any points. If you have any complaints, feel free to come."


    Di Chen was too lazy to say anything, he directly took out a forced battle order, and both their bodies immediately disappeared, this time the forced battle order meant that Di Chen was determined to kill them.


    In the room.


    Jing Shi looked around, he squinted and said: "I never thought that you would actually exchange for a forced battle order, looks like we have to kill one of us, Di Chen, I really valued you before, I never thought that the two of us could reach this stage."


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "You never thought highly of me, you only cared about yourself, and Scene Time, I know that you don''t like people who go against your will, but I also don''t like listening to other people''s arrangements. The two of us have no complaints or anything, it''s fine that you care about my business, but you still forcefully gave me your points, it''s because you''re too proud of yourself, but this time you can''t blame me."


    Previously, he had asked Di Chen to give his points to An Yang and the others, but Di Chen had rejected it, causing him to be completely infuriated. That was why when he was furious, he even wanted Qin Er''s points to come, but he really did not expect that Di Chen would really come to take revenge.


    "Can you beat me?" Jing Wen mocked.


    Di Chen did not say anything, he leapt up and punched towards Jing Tian.


    He hurriedly punched out towards Di Chen, and with a bang, the two fists collided. Jing only felt a strong wave of energy enter his body, and his arm went numb, before he was directly sent flying. However, Di Chen only took a few steps back, and was not injured.


    "Is his strength that strong?" He had originally thought that Di Chen would only be able to cultivate to the sixth or seventh level of the Martial King realm within a month, but Di Chen''s punch was actually able to injure him?


    Jing Xi stood up and said in a low voice, "You have actually improved so much in this one month. It has exceeded my imagination. It seems that I can''t be merciful now."


    He immediately took out a and stabbed it at Di Chen, causing a Sword Qi to shoot out.


    "High-grade earth-grade weapons?" Di Chen was not afraid, he punched the Sword Qi again, and with a bang, it dispersed the Sword Qi.


    "He can block an Earth Tool just by relying on the brute strength?" But every single sword qi he had was easily destroyed by Di Chen, and he had to expend his spirit energy quickly as well. However, Di Chen was in danger from resisting the sword qi, if he was not careful, he would be injured by the sword qi.


    Jing Xi said in disbelief, "How the hell are you cultivating? How did your strength rise so fast? Did you take a Forbidden Pill?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Senior Brother Jing Shi, you don''t need to worry about how I cultivate. You only need to know that today you will pay the price for what you have done before."


    Jing Xiao saw that Di Chen was determined to kill him, so he didn''t say anymore. He tapped the center of his brows and a ten meter long demonic beast flew out.


    This demonic beast looked like both an ox and a tiger, and its entire body was covered in green lightning. This was a thunder beast, and it was born in the middle of thunder and lightning. It was a rare sight.


    The Thunder Beast roared, and a bolt of lightning struck towards Di Chen, causing him to be flipped over. His entire body was charred black by the electricity, and Di Chen''s vital energy and blood churned as he could not help but vomit blood.


    "So powerful ¡­" Di Chen was secretly shocked, if his own strength was slightly weaker, he would probably be struck into ashes by the lightning beast. The lightning beast''s lightning was much stronger than Liu Jingjing''s electric martial soul.


    Di Chen crawled up from the ground and said with difficulty, "No one amongst the direct disciples knows what your martial soul is. So it turns out that your martial soul is a lightning beast.


    After joining the ranks of the direct disciples, Di Chen knew that Jing Xi had received a lot of attention. He didn''t know why, but he now knew that it was because of this lightning beast that the lightning beast was ranked in the top three of the martial soul beasts.


    Jing Xi said softly: "To be able to force me to use the lightning beast martial soul, you are very powerful, but anyone who has seen it before would die, you are no exception, Di Chen, you forced me to do this, don''t blame me."


    He pointed at the lightning beast again, and it roared. It opened its mouth and spat a bolt of lightning towards Di Chen. If this lightning struck him, he would definitely die.


    It seemed like Jing Tian was determined to kill Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen''s face changed, and he took out a piece of paper with the word "turtle" written on it. The power of a scholar surged, and the word turtle shone, and floated into the Thunder Beast''s body.


    The Thunderous Beast''s body twisted. That lightning had already turned into an ordinary turtle before it was spat out.


    "What?" Jing Xi sucked in a breath of cold air. His lightning beast had been turned into a tortoise. What kind of strange cultivation technique was this?


    Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He originally thought that it would be difficult for him to turn the Thunder Beast into a tortoise with his cultivation of the fourth stage of the Scholar Realm.

 C193

    Jing Xi asked in shock, "What is this cultivation technique?"


    Di Chen laughed: "This is a turtle formula that I just learned, the results are not bad."


    All he learned before the event were sword techniques and fist techniques, but Di Chen this Turtle formula had obviously surpassed the range of sword and fist techniques.


    "Senior Brother Jing Ji, this lightning beast martial soul should be your most powerful move."


    Di Chen looked at the lightning beast that had turned into a turtle and laughed: "Without this martial soul, I want to see how you will defend against me."


    The turtle formula could at most last for 10 seconds. Di Chen didn''t have much time, he immediately rushed to the scene and smashed it with his fist.


    In terms of strength, Di Chen was much stronger than Jing Rong. After a few punches, he could not bear it any longer and was beaten into a sorry state, his internal organs had already exploded, and he was no longer able to move. However, Di Chen did not sustain any serious injuries.


    Di Chen had absorbed other people''s cultivation to fight with Jing Shi, which meant that Jing Huang was now facing against everyone''s power, and Luo Yumeng was not inferior to Jing Huang, not to mention Liu Jingjing and the rest''s cultivation, he was unable to even move at the end of the fight.


    He was actually not Di Chen''s opponent?


    "Di Chen," Jing Shi was finally afraid this time and hurriedly said, "I''ve lost."


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "You just need to steal my points and admit defeat, I already said that you will pay the price, now is the time for you to pay the price."


    As he said that, he punched towards Jing Jing, causing Jing Xiang''s Qi and blood to boil. It seemed that Di Chen had the intention to kill.


    "You ¡­" He had underestimated Di Chen''s strength, but he finally regretted it a little now, it was just that Di Chen did not give him the chance to beg for mercy, as he punched Jing Wen in the chest, killing him.


    Actually, the reason why Di Chen was able to kill the lightning beast was because the turtle formula could only last for ten seconds, and once the lightning beast recovered, it would control the lightning beast to kill Di Chen. Di Chen knew that this turtle formula could only be used once, and if he did not kill Jing now, he would definitely die.


    Outside the room.


    An Yang and the others originally thought that it was because Di Chen didn''t dare to challenge them, but they didn''t expect that he would actually come in the end and take out the forced battle order without any hesitation.


    The battle between the two had already continued for a few minutes, and no one had come out of their room yet. Jing Shi was strong, so it should be easy for him to kill Di Chen, which meant that he had fallen into a tough battle.


    "Why is Senior Brother still not coming out? Is this Di Chen that powerful?"


    He was finally worried for the rest of his life. He had a bad feeling about this.


    An Yang did not think about this point. She looked at Liu Jingjing and the others and asked: "All of you were not weak before, but now that the elemental energy in your bodies is dissipating, you are acting like an ordinary person. What is going on?"


    Di Chen''s cultivation increased explosively, and the strength of these people decreased greatly, there must be a reason! An Yang''s gaze landed on Luo Yumeng, she did not recognize her, but sensed that the matter was related to her, and asked: "Who are you?"


    Luo Yumeng did not hide anything, and said: "I have learned an interesting cultivation technique, and can transfer my cultivation to others, so I will lend my cultivation to Di Chen, and the strength of us will be enough to deal with that person."


    "What?" An Yang cried out in shock, there was actually such a mystical technique?


    No wonder Di Chen''s strength had increased so much, while these people''s cultivation seemed to have decreased by so much.


    Mu Feng said calmly: "Di Chen is a literati, his cultivation is at most at the fourth level of King Wen, which is not a threat to people of Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, so he can only use the power of a martial artist to deal with this situation. However, he is not a pure martial artist, and he does not have any Origin Energy, nor do he know any techniques.


    The only difference between the both of them was that Di Chen did not know how to use a cultivation technique, while the opposite was that he still had the martial soul. Naturally, the odds of him winning were higher.


    An Yang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Mu Feng''s words for the rest of his life.


    Squeak!


    The door finally opened, and everyone stared fixedly at the door. walked out, but Jing Shi did not, which meant that Jing Xi was already dead.


    "This ¡­" An Yang and the rest sucked in a breath of cold air.


    Liu Jingjing seemed to have known from the start that Di Chen would definitely win, as he walked over with a smile: "Are you alright?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I almost got into trouble, but I still won."


    Qin Er said excitedly: "That''s great, we were scared to death just now."


    Other than Liu Jingjing, no one else had much confidence in Di Chen.


    Yu Qianyi, Yao Yao and the rest heaved a sigh of relief, at least they would not lose their cultivation after Di Chen came out alive.


    Di Chen did not even look at An Yang and the rest, he looked at Yu Qianyi and said: "Let''s go, I''ll return my cultivation to you first."


    Only then did everyone follow Di Chen and leave, while An Yang and the other two were still standing there foolishly.


    "Did he really kill Senior Jing Jing?" He was the most powerful out of all the direct disciples, and he had previously said that he could break through the Martial Monarch Level after leaving the wizard tower this time. However, he was killed by Di Chen before he could even go out, and Di Chen only took his life when he entered the Famous Sword Academy, has he already grown to this extent?


    Mu Feng said in a slightly fearful tone, "When we first met in the foreground, Senior Brother did give us those points. Do you think this Di Chen will come take revenge on us?"


    An Yang thought for a while, then said: "I don''t think so, otherwise, he wouldn''t have left just now."


    Only after hearing An Yang''s words for the rest of his life did he feel slightly relieved, thinking that it would be best to not offend Di Chen in the future.


    An Yang suddenly thought of something, looked at the remaining of his life and said: "Previously, Di Chen had done something to your body, I think you should go and ask Teacher Dongfang after you return, if not, I''m afraid you won''t be able to live much longer."


    He had only felt a bit more at ease during his remaining life, yet when he heard An Yang''s words, his face changed again. This Di Chen could even kill him in times of danger, wouldn''t that be easy for him to kill?


    However, this matter was something that he had started from the bottom of his heart. Even if Di Chen wanted to kill him, what could he do?


    After Di Chen and the rest left, they found a quiet corner. Di Chen injected his cultivation back into the bodies of the few of them, and they all recovered their cultivation.


    "Hmm?" Liu Jingjing felt the spirit energy in her body, and asked doubtfully: "Why do I feel like my spirit energy has changed? Although the realm is not wrong, I feel like my strength has become stronger."


    Qin Er clenched her fists and said, "I feel the same. I''m only at the fourth level of the Martial King realm, but I''ve discovered that I can easily defeat people with the six stages of a Martial King."


    Previously, Qin Er was only able to defeat a fourth stage Martial King. Now, her strength had risen by a level, and the same goes for Yu Qianyi and Yao Yao.


    Di Chen looked at Luo Yumeng and asked: "What''s going on?"


    Luo Yumeng shook his head: "I have never used this cultivation technique before, I don''t know either, but I think it''s because our cultivation entered into your body, neutralizing the power in your body, and then after that, when it entered into each of our bodies, we would have the power of others."


    The meaning of these words were that every person had his own strength, and now that Di Chen had used the power of his body to balance with these people, and returned the cultivation back to them, everyone had their own cultivation level, which was why cultivation level increased, and this could be considered as an unexpected gain.


    Only Fei Shuang heard the few of them speaking with a bitter face, he did not lend his cultivation to Di Chen previously, but who knew that this was his biggest mistake, she missed the chance to raise his cultivation, but the regret in her heart was already too late.


    Yu Qianyi chuckled: "This cultivation method isn''t bad, in the future, you can often inject your cultivation into a person''s body, and then reassign it."


    Luo Yumeng analyzed: "Don''t be happy too early, right now we do not know the reason behind the increase in our cultivation, nor do we know if it will affect us in the future, even if there are no side effects this time, it is hard to guarantee that it will not happen in the future, so unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to do this."


    Hearing Luo Yumeng''s words, everyone dispelled their previous thoughts. In truth, no one was sure if they would be able to improve their cultivation again, they were just lucky this time.


    "Di Chen, we will be leaving first." Since the battle had ended, Yu Qianyi and the other two had no intention to stay.


    Di Chen cupped his fists and smiled: "Thank you very much this time."


    Yu Qianyi laughed and said: "You''re welcome, if it weren''t for you, our points would have already been snatched away. Let''s go, we''ll meet again if fate wills it."


    Both sides did not plan to reveal their identities, it would not be easy to meet them after leaving the wizard tower. However, both sides did not plan to befriend them in the outside world.


    "Oh yeah," Luo Yumeng looked at Di Chen: "You can return what I gave you right?"


    Seeing that there was no one around, Di Chen took out an order badge and threw it to Luo Yumeng.


    Luo Yumeng saw that Di Chen was actually carrying it with him, and said angrily: "If I knew that you were carrying it with you, I would have immediately snatched it away, and saved myself a lot of time."


    Qin Er choked: "This time, you will not be at a disadvantage, your cultivation has increased by a lot, I think after you go out, you will be able to break through Martial Monarch Level, right?"


    Earlier, Luo Yumeng was already at the edge of breaking through Martial Monarch Level, but she was still short of being unable to breakthrough. She did not expect that after returning her cultivation back to, she would be able to break through this bottleneck, and Luo Yumeng would also be able to break through Martial Monarch Level at any time.


    Luo Yumeng also did not refute him. She looked at Di Chen and said: "Our grudge has been written off, and I hope that we do not meet again in the future. I do not dare guarantee that I will not kill you the next time we meet."


    In reality, after Di Chen returned the order badge to her, she already had a murderous intent. knew her identity, but she did not make a move in the end. He turned around to leave, but could tell that Luo Yumeng was still a dangerous person.

 C194

    Liu Jingjing stared at Luo Yumeng''s back figure and said: "Di Chen, Luo Yumeng is very dangerous, you should not come into contact with her in the future."


    Liu Jingjing had never felt anyone''s danger, so Luo Yumeng was the first one.


    How could Di Chen not know that when he returned the order badge back to her, she had already had the urge to kill him?


    However, when he thought about how he seemed to have already told Luo Yumeng about her identity, he felt bitter in his heart. He thought that he could avoid provoking her, but if she did, it would be troublesome.


    Di Chen thought that he was also the heir to Eternal Gate, if his identity was found out by her, maybe she would come looking for him.


    Qin Er looked at the time and said: "The wizard tower will close soon, I still have some points, I can go exchange for pills."


    "You guys go ahead, I still have some matters to attend to." Di Chen thought that he should go see Senior Hen Zhen before he left. As he spoke, he went to the tenth floor.


    When Hen Zhen saw Di Chen, he laughed and said, "Congratulations, you''ve finally won against that man. Your tortoise formula is truly mystical."


    Earlier, Hen Zhen had also seen Di Chen''s battle. It was able to turn a lightning beast into a turtle and make it lose its fighting strength. Even Hen Zhen had never seen such a mystical technique.


    Di Chen laughed: That''s right, Senior Hen Zhen, why would I look for you after I leave the wizard tower?


    Since it was a member of the Heaven Gate, Di Chen had to deal with people from the Heaven Gate in the future.


    Hen Zhen saw through Di Chen''s thought and said: Di Chen, although I let you join the Heaven Gate, in truth, I did not inform the other people in the sect that it was my personal decision to let you in, and if anyone in the sect knew about this, they would probably blame me, so before you break through the Martial Saint, I will not allow you to enter the core of the Heaven Gate, and you will not be able to find us, if there is any danger, we will not help you, so what you have to do now is to cultivate to the Martial Saint, and you cannot reveal your identity as a member of the Heaven Gate.


    Di Chen originally thought that he could cultivate a little more quickly after joining the Heaven Gate, but now he thought that he could only rely on himself.


    Actually, it was understandable. With Di Chen''s capabilities, he didn''t have the qualifications to enter the Heaven Gate, and let the members of the Heaven Gate know that it might be dangerous for Di Chen.


    "I understand," Di Chen thought to himself. There were so many identities that he could not reveal, he could not reveal his identity as the successor to the Eternal Gate, and he could not reveal his identity as a member of the Heaven Gate.


    Ever since Di Chen and the others entered the wizard tower, Dongfang Yue, Xun Qin, Niu Bai and the others had been waiting for Di Chen. Although Di Chen had been inside the wizard tower for three months, to the outside world, three days wasn''t a long time.


    Puff ¡­


    Flashes of light could be seen, Di Chen and the rest appeared one after the other, all of their cultivations had increased greatly, this wizard tower trip was many times faster than cultivating in the outside world.


    "You''re finally back?" Dongfang Yue looked at the figures and smiled, he was very satisfied with the cultivation levels of these people.


    "Hmm?" Xun Qin noticed that there were only nine people, and asked curiously, "What about the scenery?"


    The rest of their lives looked at each other, and they didn''t know how to reply. After all, it was Di Chen who killed them, so they didn''t want to lie, but they didn''t dare to offend Di Chen again.


    When Dongfang Yue saw the crowd''s reaction, he vaguely guessed something and said seriously: "What''s going on, is Jing Xiang dead?"


    Di Chen opened his mouth and said: "I killed him."


    When Dongfang Yue heard this, his face was full of surprise. He anxiously asked: "Before we entered the wizard tower, he already had Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm. How could you kill him?"


    He did not ask Di Chen about the reason why he killed Jing Jing, but asked Di Chen how he killed Jing Shi instead, which meant that he was not too concerned about Jing Shi''s death, but that Di Chen''s cultivation had actually increased by so much.


    Di Chen did not hide anything and explained everything, including how Jing Chen came to steal his points. When Di Chen used the Star Shift to kill Jing Jing, he did not mention anything about the process of killing.


    Nian BIng was shocked. "There''s actually such a mystical technique? It seems like that person is not simple."


    As the teacher of the Famous Sword Academy, it was also her first time hearing that someone could lend his cultivation to another person. If that was the case, it wouldn''t be difficult for Di Chen to kill Jing Hao, but Dongfang Yue wouldn''t think like that, because only he knew that the martial soul in Jing Xi was a Thunder Beast. Even if Di Chen forced himself to reach Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, it would not be possible to kill Jing so easily, so he thought that Di Chen must have other trump cards to deal with the Thunder Beast.


    Xun Qin said with a solemn face: "Di Chen, although you''ve gone a little too far with this matter, you are still junior brothers after all. Isn''t it a little too far for you to kill him?"


    She could break through the Martial Monarch Level this time, but now that Di Chen had killed Jing Shi, all the cultivation that the Famous Sword Academy had of Di Chen before had gone down the drain, so Xun Qin would naturally be angry.


    The competition between the three academies was almost here, killing the scene now would be a huge loss to the Famous Sword Academy.


    Di Chen didn''t mind in the slightest as he calmly said: "Senior Brother Jing Ji is too arrogant. He was the one who first caused me trouble, and I was also forced to do so."


    "You ¡­" Seeing that Di Chen did not regret at all, Xun Qin was furious and wanted to scold him.


    "Teacher Xun Qin," Liu Jingjing said at this moment, "Senior Brother Jing Shi has gone overboard. He can purposefully make things difficult for us this time, and will definitely do so in the future.


    In fact, Xun Qin also knew that Jing Shi must have had a reason for making things difficult for Di Chen. Hearing Liu Jingjing''s words, she was slightly relieved, since Liu Jingjing was a talented person, and would not be weaker than Jing when it came to cultivating in the future.


    "Let''s just forget about it," Dongfang Yue did not plan to blame Di Chen, and said: "Tell me about the cultivation progress of each of you?"


    Everyone talked about their own cultivation, of which Liu Jingjing had the most progress, and Di Chen was the next, but in terms of strength, Di Chen was the strongest. Right now, the direct disciples were all no match for him, and Qin Er''s cultivation was the smallest, at most, he was only at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm.


    Dongfang Yue understood everyone''s strength simply, and said: "In a while, it will be the competition between the three great academies. In the Martial King Realm competition, we will choose a few from you people, and properly cultivate."


    "Yes!" Everyone saluted and then left. This time, everyone''s cultivation had increased, but no one was excited. When Di Chen killed Jing Jing, it really affected their mood.


    "Di Chen, you stay," Dongfang Yue called out to him just as he was about to leave.


    Di Chen stared blankly for a moment, then allowed Liu Jingjing and Qin Er to leave first while he stayed behind himself.


    Dongfang Yue said: "Do you know why I made you stay?"


    Di Chen shook his head slightly, thinking that it should be related to the competition from the three great academies.


    Dongfang Yue sighed: "Originally, I thought the most highly of the scenery, who would have known that you would actually kill him, of the Martial King Realm, your strength is currently the strongest, but your cultivation is not the strongest, so there should be a possibility for you to improve yourself.


    Xun Qin was still angry after thinking about it, and said: "We are very confident in our abilities, but you killed him, and if you relied on your own strength, that''s fine, you can replace him, but in reality, your true strength is far weaker than him."


    It was one thing that Di Chen did not return his cultivation to those people, but Di Chen had returned his cultivation back to them, so Xun Qin being angry was understandable.


    I am currently at the fourth level of the King Wen, and my realm of martial artist is at the fifth level. There is still half a year until the competition between the three great academies, and I can at least raise my cultivation realm to the King Wen''s six stages. Cultivating to the eighth level of the martial artist wouldn''t be too difficult even if I were to reach the ninth level.


    Di Chen thought that he had borrowed the cultivation of other people, and there was a possibility for him to break through the Martial King of his warriors, but in the next half year, Di Chen''s realm as a martial artist naturally could not reach that high. Luckily, the cultivation of the scholars could increase by two small realms, so his overall strength should not be any weaker than before.


    "It seems that you are quite confident, so I am relieved," said Nian Bai.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "In truth, Jingjing''s talent is a bit better than mine. She is currently at the seventh level of the Martial King realm, and I think she might be able to break through to the Martial Monarch Level in half a year, she might even be stronger than senior brother Jing Shi previously. Also, Qin Er, she should be able to reach the Martial King level in half a year, but ever since consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pill, she has become much stronger than anyone else in the same realm.


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, the three of them felt more at ease. Although Jing Xi had died, the strength of the direct disciples did not decrease at all.


    "This is for the best. You can go too." Dongfang Yue dispelled his misgivings and let Di Chen cultivate.


    Niu Bai looked at Di Chen''s back and said, "Di Chen seems to have changed since he came out. I think he must have had other experiences among the mages."


    Dongfang Yue chuckled: "wizard tower were originally a mysterious place, we still don''t know who was refining them, so we don''t have to worry about it. It''s better if they cultivate properly during this period of time."


    "That''s right," Xun Qin said, changing the subject. "I heard Vice President Zhao is coming back soon?"


    Dongfang Yue nodded his head: "I received his message earlier, he will be back in two months, Wan''er will be with her, and Wan''er has a good relationship with Jing Sheng. If she knew that Di Chen would kill Jing Jing, I wonder how she would deal with him, please don''t let her kill Di Chen."


    They were a bit worried when they thought about Wan-Er. She was not someone to be trifled with.

 C195

    The moment Di Chen came out, he saw Di Chen for the rest of his life. He had been waiting outside the entire time.


    Gritting his teeth and asked for the rest of his life: "Di Chen, what exactly did you do to me before?"


    Di Chen laughed easily: "I already said that if you come find trouble with me again, I''ll kill you. Originally, you were already dead that day, but in the end, you were saved by me in time.


    Before, Di Chen was also only a King Wen, so it was a little difficult for him to wipe away the remaining life value of his life, so he was given two months.


    "What?" He didn''t know why Di Chen was so clear about it for the rest of his life, but he knew that Di Chen must be speaking the truth. His expression changed, "Di Chen, you can''t do this.


    Di Chen shook his head: "This is not a reversible process, I can''t do it. If you want to live, you have to break through your Martial Monarch Level during this period of time, because then you can increase your HP."


    Martial King had existed for a bit longer than the Martial King, but the problem was that the rest of his life was now a Martial King''s six stages, so how could he break through Martial King in two months?


    "You ¡­" Knowing how long he had to live was a scary thing, but being unable to do anything for the rest of his life, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Di Chen.


    Di Chen was too lazy to care about the rest of his life. Once he erased the lives of others, there was no way to increase their lifespan.


    As he coldly looked at Di Chen''s back, he clenched his fists and said, "If I only have two months of life left, I won''t let you live. Di Chen, just you wait."


    Liu Jingjing and Qin Er started their cultivation, while Di Chen returned to his own residence, finding them just as he returned.


    Although Bai Qian could not see through Di Chen''s cultivation, he could faintly feel that Di Chen''s strength had increased, so he asked: "Di Chen, where have you been these past three days, your strength seems to have increased again."


    Di Chen laughed: "Three days ago, the wizard tower had opened, so I went there. Although it''s only been three days outside, it''s been three months inside, and during this time, my cultivation has increased by quite a bit."


    Bai Qian had naturally heard of this wizard tower before. His realm did not meet the requirements and his talent was average, so he did not have the qualifications to enter the wizard tower. He could not help but feel a little envious.


    "Di Chen, I failed. I did not condense that Blood-Drinking Sword into a martial soul." Zi Yan said with a face full of disappointment: "I''ve wasted these past three days."


    Di Chen thought about how he wanted Zi Yan to fight with Xiao Qing and condense the Blood-Drinking Sword into a martial soul. According to his original plans, he wanted Zi Yan to condense a set of Blood-Drinking Sword every two days.


    Bai Qian laughed bitterly: "Although you have dispelled the Evil Qi from the Blood-Drinking Sword, it is still quite powerful. Di Chen, do you have any ideas?"


    Di Chen thought to himself that he had already agreed upon ten days with Xiang Qing, and now three days had already passed. There were still seven days left, so he should be able to make it in time.


    Di Chen chuckled: "My cultivation has increased by a lot, I can help you cultivate your martial soul, give me your Blood-Drinking Sword."


    Zi Yan was immediately overjoyed when he heard it. He immediately took out the Blood-Drinking Sword and asked: "What should I do?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "First, let me take a look at you refining. I want to see where you went wrong."


    Zi Yan nodded his head and immediately fused the Blood-Drinking Sword into the space between his eyebrows. However, just as the Blood-Drinking Sword fell in half, Zi Yan''s body started to tremble violently, as if it was affected by some kind of force.


    Di Chen noticed that there was a strange power that was rejecting Zi Yan. This kind of power made Zi Yan''s mind unsettled, his spirit energy fluctuated extremely strongly, and it was impossible for him to refine this Blood-Drinking Sword normally.


    "After all, this Blood-Drinking Sword is an object of the Mo Family. Although it has been removed, it is difficult to refine when compared to Zi Yan''s technique."


    Di Chen immediately took out a pen and paper to write the word "Tranquil". He placed the paper slip onto Zi Yan''s body, and the power of the scribe poured into Zi Yan''s body. Zi Yan''s trembling body immediately stopped, and his spirit energy also no longer fluctuated intensely.


    "What''s going on?" Bai Qian said in shock: "This will go much more smoothly than before."


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "This blood drink is too strong, it will affect Zi Yan''s state of mind, and if your heart is not at peace, it will be very difficult to refine the Blood-Drinking Sword into a martial soul. What I was using just now was a Calm formula, able to calm a person''s mind, and stabilize his spirit energy."


    This Silent formula was also a formula from the Heavenly Classic Scripture. It did not have any prowess, but it could allow a cultivator to remain calm while cultivating and not be disturbed by the heart demons, nor suffer any backlash from cultivation techniques. This was what Di Chen had learned from the wizard tower.


    A few minutes later, Zi Yan finished refining the Blood-Drinking Sword into the center of his brows.


    "Success," Zi Yan said in pleasant surprise, she had never even thought that he could actually succeed.


    Di Chen laughed, "Hurry and refine the remaining four Blood-Drinking Sword s into the center of your eyebrows as well."


    Zi Yan was startled. "You want me to refine all five Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul, but this is a little difficult for me right?"


    It was true that some people could cultivate multiple martial soul, but it was more difficult. Previously, the disciples with better talent in Famous Sword Academy could only condense two swords into martial soul s, but with Zi Yan''s average talent, it would be impossible for him to condense all five Blood-Drinking Sword s into martial soul s.


    Di Chen advised. He thought that with Zi Yan''s current strength, he would not be able to win against Xiang Qing, and it would be easier for him to refine all five swords into martial soul s.


    Fortunately, Di Chen had prepared a large amount of medicinal pellets before. After a few hours, Zi Yan finally refined the second Blood-Drinking Sword into a martial soul, and then, he recovered his spirit energy and continued to refine the third Blood-Drinking Sword. This time, Zi Yan took a whole five hours to finish refining all of the medicinal pellets Di Chen and Bai Qian had consumed.


    "I can''t believe you''re using up all these pills," Di Chen was speechless: "These pills are equivalent to at least 10 million silver, I''ve used up all my pills, so I need to go buy some."


    Zi Yan let out a cry, she only felt that he had been swallowing a medicinal pellet the entire time, but did not think about it to such an extent. He said awkwardly: "I''m really sorry, then let''s refine it again in the future."


    Bai Qian laughed bitterly: "That''s right, I do not have much silver now, so it should be more difficult to refine the last two Blood-Drinking Sword. I estimate that it would cost more silver, I think it would be better to refine them later."


    Di Chen waved his hand: "Don''t worry about the silver, I still have a lot of money. I''ll go buy some pills, wait for me."


    Previously, Di Chen had sold the red fog fruit he had harvested at mountain for a hundred million silver taels, and during this period of time, he had also exchanged quite a few medicinal pellets at the wizard tower, which was completely sufficient for Zi Yan to cultivate.


    The fourth refinement of the Blood-Drinking Sword was extremely difficult, and it had taken a lot of pills. This time, Zi Yan had actually swallowed a third of the medicinal pellet to complete the refinement, which was equivalent to 15 million silver taels. But at this time, Di Chen discovered that the Silent formula had become ineffective, which meant that the fifth Blood-Drinking Sword would probably have to rely on Zi Yan alone.


    "Continue!" Di Chen told Zi Yan to continue his cultivation, and Zi Yan continued to integrate the fifth Blood-Drinking Sword into the space between her eyebrows. However, this time, Zi Yan seemed to be affected by the Blood-Drinking Sword, as he wrote a few more [Serenity formula] on Zi Yan''s body, but the effects were not as obvious as before, and Zi Yan would still be affected by the effects, moreover, the pills he consumed were extremely huge. She crazily swallowed the pills, and the Blood-Drinking Sword also entered between her eyebrows bit by bit, trembling more and more as he drank the blood.


    Whoosh!


    The Blood-Drinking Sword suddenly shot out from between Zi Yan''s brows, she said with a pale face: "Failed."


    Di Chen thought for a while: "The fifth Blood-Drinking Sword is Mo Xie''s, his strength is the strongest amongst the five generals of Mo Family, and this Blood-Drinking Sword is also scary. Furthermore, after you have fused with four of the Blood-Drinking Sword, you are about to reach your limit, so breaking through your limit is indeed a little difficult."


    Most people could only purify one Sword Martial Spirit, after breaking the limit, they would be able to purify two Sword Martial Spirit s. However, Zi Yan had already refined four Sword Martial Spirit s, so she had long reached her limit.


    Zi Yan thought for a while, then said: "Actually, the four Sword Martial Spirit s are already very strong, Di Chen, I think it''s better not to. I''m already very satisfied."


    Di Chen shook his head: "These five Blood-Drinking Sword s are a set, after you refine them all, you will reach a different level, you cannot give them up."


    Right now, Zi Yan was already very strong, but Di Chen faintly felt that if she were to refine the fifth Blood-Drinking Sword, his strength would reach a different realm. Right now, Di Chen was still unable to imagine what realm his cultivation would reach, but he might even reach the strength of a Martial King.


    Bai Qian laughed bitterly: "But that pill just now was a waste. If I continue to cultivate, I might have even wasted that medicinal pellet."


    "I''m fine," Di Chen laughed, but he was actually complaining in his heart, Zi Yan had actually wasted a lot just now, the remaining pills were enough for Zi Yan to try again, if he failed, he would have to buy more pills.


    Zi Yan thought about it and tried again. Just like before, when the Blood-Drinking Sword was about to enter Zi Yan''s forehead, it shot out again, but it still failed.


    Di Chen bought another batch of pills, spent about seventy or eighty percent of his silver, and failed a few more times. Fortunately, although he failed each time, his progress was still a bit better than before.


    "Finally succeeded," Zi Yan said excitedly. He didn''t even dare to imagine it himself.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "If you still don''t succeed, I won''t be able to do anything about it."


    Bai Qian asked: "Di Chen, just how much silver did you spend?"


    Di Chen slightly sighed, "All of these medicinal pellets added together should be at least one hundred and fifty million. I don''t have much silver already."


    Zi Yan and Bai Qian were startled, they never thought that they would spend so much silver, if not for Di Chen, it would be impossible for him to refine Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul.

 C196

    All the money that Di Chen had earned in this period of time had been spent on Zi Yan and he had finally helped her condense five Blood-Drinking Sword. With his current strength, he estimated that there were not many within the Lifestealer Realm that could deal with her.


    "Oh yeah," Di Chen changed the subject, "Zi Yan, there''s something I haven''t told you. A while ago, I met Xiang Qing, and in place of you, I made an appointment to fight him. If he wins, I will give him the five sets of Blood-Drinking Sword.


    Zi Yan was startled, then realized why Di Chen wanted his to condense all five Blood-Drinking Sword s into martial soul. She became slightly angry: "That sword was mine to begin with, why would he use that sword to bet with me?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Previously, he had a powerful expert by his side to help him, I did not have a choice, but luckily, with your current strength, he shouldn''t be able to beat you."


    After Zi Yan finished condensing the five Sword Martial Spirit s, he also gained some confidence. He thought for a while and asked, "When will we fight?"


    Di Chen calculated the time and said: "It will be tomorrow.


    Zi Yan nodded, following that he started to recover his spirit force, after a few hours his spirit force had finally recovered.


    The next day.


    Both Xiang Qing and Zi Yan were not powerful people in Famous Sword Academy, but Xiang Qing had a bit of a reputation. It had not been long since he broke through to the ninth stage of Life Seizing Stage, but he was exceptionally strong, and had already surpassed Xiang Xue, who was previously the strongest in the Lifestealer Realm. Today, Xiang Qing wanted to fight with someone in the martial arts arena, and this battle had attracted a lot of people.


    Xiang Qing had already stood on stage, calmly waiting for Zi Yan, and beneath the stage was Xiang Zuo, but Zi Yan had not come.


    After a few minutes, Zi Yan finally appeared in everyone''s line of sight, beside his were Di Chen and Bai Qian.


    "That should be Di Chen, a literati, previously the number one person in Lifestealer Realm, but I''m afraid that he has already broken through to King Wen."


    No one was interested in Zi Yan at all, but they were all interested in him.


    "This Zi Yan must have been destroyed by the Clear Water Academy previously, and her talent is average, his strength is not strong. This Xiang Qing came from the back, and now even Xiang Xue is not his opponent.


    Zi Yan''s spirit energy did not fluctuate too much. He could not tell that he was a strong Ranker, so no one held any hope.


    Di Chen looked at the stage and laughed: "Seems like he is very confident, Zi Yan, when I go up later on, I will use the martial soul."


    Zi Yan''s sword technique was too weak, so it was of no use.


    "Alright," Zi Yan nodded, then walked up the stage.


    Xiang Qing did not look at Zi Yan, but looked at Di Chen from afar and sneered, how could Di Chen not understand his intentions, it was most likely that he wanted to kill Zi Yan in public.


    "Zi Yan..." Xiao Qing''s gaze finally fell upon Zi Yan, and said: "I didn''t think that you would actually dare to come, do you know that this stage does not care about life and death, if you die, don''t blame me, after all, Di Chen was the one who asked you to come and compete with me."


    Zi Yan hatefully stared at Xiang Qing and did not speak. He tapped on the center of his eyebrows and a short, scarlet Spirit Sword flew out, shooting towards Xiang Qing.


    "Hmm? You actually started training in the Sword Martial Spirit again? "


    Xiang Qing did not expect Zi Yan to actually be able to cultivate the Sword Martial Spirit anew, but it was not unexpected. There were many people who had to cultivate the martial soul anew, but in such a short period of time, they should not be able to display their true strength.


    Ding!


    The two swords clashed, and let out a clear sound. Huang Qing only felt a numbing sensation on his arm, and the Spirit Sword directly shattered into pieces, while Zi Yan''s Sword Martial Spirit directly pierced through his shoulder, and flew back with him.


    "Is this Sword Martial Spirit that strong?" Seeing this, everyone was shocked, thinking that Zi Yan''s Sword Martial Spirit seemed to be even stronger than the previous Sword Martial Spirit.


    Xiang Zuo''s face was also filled with disbelief, Di Chen was not surprised, this Blood-Drinking Sword was originally a treasure of the five families of Demon Generals, and this was only one of them, five of them would be even more powerful.


    Zi Yan took this opportunity to give chase, and control the Sword Martial Spirit to shoot towards Qing.


    "Dammit," Xiang Qing finally realized that he had underestimated Zi Yan. His elemental energy gushed out crazily as he punched towards Sword Martial Spirit: "Everlasting Fist."


    A huge fist struck Sword Martial Spirit, directly pushing him back.


    He threw out another punch, and another fist image flew towards Zi Yan. This Limitless Fist was mainly directed at with power, and was the most powerful attack he had ever performed against Qing, but it was difficult for him to defend against it with just his power alone.


    Zi Yan tapped on the center of his brows again, and another Blood-Drinking Sword flew out. Two Sword Martial Spirit s soared into the sky, and then shot towards the fist shadows at the same time.


    "Two Sword Martial Spirit s?" There were quite a few Famous Sword Academy s, but a talent like Zi Yan being able to train in two Sword Martial Spirit s was truly shocking.


    Xiang Qing''s numerous punches were easily defeated by Zi Yan, making him look extremely miserable.


    Below the stage, Xiang Zuo shouted anxiously: "What are you holding back, hurry up and use the martial soul."


    Xiang Qing had always looked down on Zi Yan, so he did not want to use his Sword Martial Spirit. However, this time, he was forced into a corner by Zi Yan, so he could not retreat at all.


    Pointing the huge sword toward the green man, the huge sword directly faced off against the two Blood-Drinking Sword s. The three swords clashed in the air and produced clanging sounds, which showed that they clearly had the upper hand against the green man''s Sword Martial Spirit.


    "Fortunately, I had strengthened the power of this Sword Martial Spirit."


    Seeing this, Xiang Qing heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Zi Yan and snorted: "To be able to force me to use my Sword Martial Spirit, I had underestimated your strength, but since I had already used my Sword Martial Spirit, you will definitely lose."


    Zi Yan also did not speak, and he tapped the center of his brows once again. The third Blood-Drinking Sword flew out and joined the battle, and the three Blood Drinking Pills attacked the green colored Sword Martial Spirit at the same time.


    "Impossible," Xiang Qing said incredulously. It was already surprising that he could cultivate two Sword Martial Spirit s, but with Zi Yan''s talent, he could actually cultivate three?


    Xiang Qing immediately knew that something was wrong. He wanted to take over the Sword Martial Spirit, but he was already a step too late. Three Blood-Drinking Sword s slashed onto the huge sword, causing the huge sword to crumble.


    Blood-Drinking Sword s were very demonic and were inherently strong. It was normal for them to be unable to resist the green-colored Sword Martial Spirit.


    "My Sword Martial Spirit," Xiang Qing''s face was full of shock. Sword Martial Spirit being destroyed meant that half of his strength had been crippled.


    "I''ll kill you," Xiang Qing was enraged, he immediately took out a sword and slashed at Zi Yan, the sword was the one he snatched from Zi Yan previously, but it seemed to be ordinary looking sword, and was not very strong.


    Seeing that, Xiang Zuo''s face changed, and he immediately shouted: "Xiang Qing, come back, you are not her opponent."


    Even the Sword Martial Spirit had been destroyed, that was Qing Qing''s most powerful move, Qing Qing''s impulsive charge was simply suicide, but Xiang Qing could not care so much right now.


    Zi Yan controlled three more Blood-Drinking Sword s to shoot towards Qing, and the three swords immediately pierced through Qing''s body, causing him to fly out and lie down motionlessly in the pool of blood. This time, he did not have the strength to fight, but Zi Yan did not kill him.


    "Did you lose?" Everyone originally thought that Xiang Qing would definitely easily defeat Zi Yan, but they didn''t expect this result to be far beyond their expectations.


    To be able to defeat Xiang Qing proved that Zi Yan was the strongest in the Lifestealer Realm.


    Zi Yan did not expect himself to defeat Xiang Qing so easily, and was secretly happy in his heart, he then picked up the sword previously, and when the sword came into his hand, he could feel a powerful force, although the sword could not unleash any of its power, in Zi Yan''s hand.


    "Why didn''t you kill me?" Mu Qing looked at Zi Yan hatefully. He was already half a cripple after being destroyed, and he did not have the luck of Zi Yan to cultivate a new powerful martial soul.


    Zi Yan sneered: "I didn''t even use my strength just now, if I wanted to kill you, I could have at any time, so how would I waste my time."


    In the future, Xiang Qing would not be a threat to Zi Yan, so Zi Yan was too lazy to kill him.


    "You ¡­" Xiang Qing looked at Zi Yan with hatred, he really did not expect that one day, he would be looked down upon by Zi Yan.


    Zi Yan did not care about him, walked to the bottom of the stage, and said excitedly: "Di Chen, Bai Qian, I''ve won."


    Di Chen laughed: "I''m afraid no one can compare to you in Famous Sword Academy now, what you need to do now is to break through the Martial King Realm as soon as possible."


    Zi Yan''s strength had already reached the limits of Lifestealer Realm, and he could already break through Martial King Realm.


    Zi Yan nodded twice in affirmation.


    Bai Qian laughed bitterly: "Now that Zi Yan''s strength has surpassed mine, I don''t know when I''ll be able to break through the Martial King Realm."


    After Di Chen entered the Famous Sword Academy, his strength did not improve at all. Now that even Zi Yan, who had always been under his protection, had surpassed him, he did feel some regret.


    "There will always be a chance, let''s go," Di Chen comforted his. In fact, it was thanks to the five Blood-Drinking Sword s that Zi Yan was able to raise his strength.


    The few of them did not plan to stay. They turned around and left.


    "Di Chen..." At this moment, Xiang Zuo''s angry voice came from behind him.


    Di Chen stopped and looked at Xiang Zuo curiously: "What''s the matter?"


    Xiang Zuo said in a low voice, "I will remember this grudge when Qi Qing was injured by you. One day, I will definitely seek revenge."


    Di Chen didn''t even bother to answer him, how could Xiang Zuo possibly threaten Di Chen if he didn''t know that Jing Shi had already been killed by Di Chen?


    Xiang Zuo was still a direct disciple after all, but ever since he had met Di Chen, he had been defeated by him many times, and now, Di Chen did not even spare him a glance. This completely infuriated him, and in his heart, he already had to kill Di Chen no matter what, but it was naturally impossible for him to continue staying in the Famous Sword Academy.

 C197

    Liu Qing and Xiang Zuo quietly left the Famous Sword Academy, but no one knew where they went, but no one was concerned, in this period of time, Zi Yan had finally walked into the line of sight of others, the current Zi Yan had already become the number one disciple in the Lifestealer Realm, but the main reason why she was not accepted as a disciple was because although Zi Yan''s martial soul was powerful, in reality, his talent was average, but just with her martial soul, not many people could resist her.


    Zi Yan had already reached the edge of Martial King Realm, but Bai Qian seemed to have received some sort of stimulation. After all, Zi Yan had already surpassed him, so he started to cultivate as if his life depended on it, and he didn''t continue to look for Di Chen.


    During this period of time, Di Chen was also cultivating peacefully, writing and reading every day. What he saw was "Talking about the Heavens" and his powers as a scholar had increased by a lot, but he was temporarily unable to break through to the fifth level of King Wen.


    At the entrance of the academy, an old man walked in with a young girl. After seeing the two of them, the entire academy stopped and greeted the two of them.


    "Grandfather, I''ll go find the time," Zhao Waner said with a smile. She had a good relationship with the time of the day, so the first person she thought of when she came back was him.


    Zhao Fusheng smiled, "Go, I will go look for Dongfang Yue. I don''t know if anything interesting has happened in this period of time."


    After the two of them separated, Yue Yang floated over to find Dongfang Yue. During his absence, it was always Dongfang Yue who was at the School of Management.


    "Vice President Zhao, you''re finally back." Dongfang Yue sighed as he looked at Zhao Fusheng. A lot of things had happened in the academy in this period of time.


    Zhao Fusheng laughed, "How has the academy been doing recently?"


    Dongfang Yue told them everything that had happened in the academy during this period of time, including some of the things that happened after Di Chen entered the academy, including his cultivation level.


    "Vice Principal, your eyes are indeed good. This Di Chen has good talent, that Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao are also rare warriors." Dongfang Yue not only regarded Di Chen very highly, he also regarded Liu Jingjing and Di Chen very highly. One must know that Liu Jingjing''s strength was currently only beneath Di Chen, and Lin Tao had also broke through to the next level, so from what she heard, Shu Nan said that there were very few people in the same realm as him that were her opponents. In addition, Qin Er''s and Zi Yan''s strength had also increased by a lot, and the most important thing was that they had a relationship with Di Chen.


    Zhao Fusheng originally only wanted Di Chen to join the Famous Sword Academy, but he did not expect that there would be some unexpected gains. Liu Jingjing and Lin Tao were not weak either.


    Zhao Fusheng smiled and said, "I really didn''t misjudge this person. With him, there shouldn''t be much of a problem during the competition between the three great academies in half a year."


    If even the Floating Life had said that, then he was indeed very confident.


    "Oh yeah," Dongfang Yue suddenly thought of something, and said: "Jing Shi was killed by Di Chen."


    Zhao Fusheng was startled at first, but then immediately felt that something was amiss, and said: "Crap, Wan''er went to look for Jing. With her temper, if she knew that Di Chen had killed Jing, she wouldn''t have let him off."


    Dongfang Yue also knew Zhao Waner''s temper, and immediately replied: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and make Di Chen dodge, Di Chen is not Wan''er''s opponent."


    Zhao Fusheng thought about it, but still shook his head, thinking that Zhao Waner had already broken through the Martial Monarch Level, if she really wanted to kill Di Chen, Di Chen would not be able to dodge it, and he did not think that Zhao Waner would definitely kill Di Chen.


    When Zhao Waner arrived at the direct disciple training area, everyone was startled when they saw Zhao Waner. Zhao Waner was the granddaughter of the vice principal and her strength was not weak either.


    Everyone''s face filled with respect. Sometimes Zhao Waner might look very gentle, but in reality, her temper was not that good.


    Zhao Waner looked at the crowd and asked, "Where''s Jing Shi, why didn''t I see him?"


    The crowd looked at each other in dismay. At this moment, they walked out and said, "Senior Jing Xi has been killed."


    "What?" Zhao Waner''s face changed, she squinted her eyes and revealed a trace of killing intent: Who killed Senior Jing Shi?


    "It''s someone called Di Chen. He just entered our Famous Sword Academy a few months ago."


    "It''s him," Zhao Waner naturally remembered Di Chen, which was recommended by her grandfather. Previously, Zhao Waner had suppressed her cultivation to fight with Di Chen, so she had high hopes for Di Chen.


    The remaining life could see the killing intent in Zhao Waner''s eyes, and she said with excitement: "He''s in the normal residential area, so she should be cultivating right now. Senior Sister, I''ll bring you there."


    With that, he walked out. Zhao Waner immediately followed, and the others followed as well. Since Di Chen was now the number one in Martial King Realm, everyone wanted to know what Zhao Waner would do with him.


    In the room, Di Chen was talking to Liu Jingjing and Qin Er, but suddenly, the door was kicked open and Zhao Waner rushed in.


    Di Chen was startled by Wan''er who barged in, and said in shock: "Wan''er, you''re back?"


    Zhao Waner said angrily: "Di Chen, why do you want to kill me?"


    Di Chen had previously heard that Zhao Waner''s relationship with Jing Shi was not bad, and only now did he know that Zhao Waner was here to denounce him for her crimes, so he explained everything that had happened that day.


    Liu Jingjing knew that Zhao Waner was powerful, and was afraid that she would harm Di Chen. She immediately said: "This matter has nothing to do with Di Chen.


    She had seen Di Chen and Zhao Waner''s battle before, at that time Zhao Waner had compressed her cultivation, so Di Chen was definitely not her opponent.


    You killed him because you were dissatisfied with his arrangements. Di Chen, you casually killed the students of our Famous Sword Academy, you deserve to die the most. "


    When Qin Er saw the rest of his life spouting nonsense, she became angry and said coldly, "I shouldn''t have spared your life in the beginning."


    Zhao Waner was not afraid even though she was alive for the rest of her life, and shouted, "Senior Sister Wan''Er, you''ve seen how arrogant these people are, they even want to kill me in front of you."


    Zhao Waner didn''t pay attention to him, and only stared at Di Chen without saying a word. It was obvious that he was extremely angry, and for the rest of his life, Mu Feng and the others had been gloating while looking at Di Chen.


    "Do you know that Jing Xi''s death will bring me a lot of trouble?"


    Zhao Waner remained silent for a long while before she said angrily, "I want to be killed by you."


    Di Chen asked doubtfully: "What exactly is it that I can possibly help with?"


    Zhao Waner said: "I have an enemy, and we previously arranged a battle, and they were very strong, it was difficult for me to win, so I looked for Jing Nian to help me, although Jing Jin is only at the Martial King Realm now, he can quickly break through the Martial Monarch Level, and his body is special, after he breaks through the Martial Monarch Level, he can cultivate the Famous Sword Academy''s number one sword technique, the Primal Sword Technique. Now that Jing Shi has died, there is no one to accompany me in training the sword technique, I will definitely lose to that person, do you think you have caused my death."


    Di Chen more or less understood Zhao Waner''s meaning, it was just that she was not her opponent, other than learning the Famous Sword Academy''s number one sword technique, the Primordius Sword Art. However, this sword technique required two people to train together, and ordinary people were unable to cultivate it, so when it came to the scenery, she was the only one in the academy who could train in this technique, the two of them decided to train together during the break through of their Martial Monarch Level, only to be killed by Di Chen during the battle.


    Only then did Di Chen understand why Zhao Waner was so angry, he thought for a bit: Could it be that I can''t find anyone else to practice this sword technique?


    Zhao Waner said angrily, "Would you still be so angry if you found me?"


    Initially, Di Chen thought that he was angry because he had a good relationship with Jing Shi, but in the end, no one was willing to accompany her to cultivate the sword arts, this made it difficult for Di Chen. He did not have any spirit energy, so he was unable to practice the sword arts.


    "Let me try," Liu Jingjing suddenly said: "I heard Teacher Xun Qin mention this sword technique, it does not sound difficult, I think I can learn it."


    Zhao Waner''s eyes first lit up, then she shook her head. "It sounds simple, but it''s very difficult to cultivate. It''s not that easy."


    Liu Jingjing insisted: "I can try, I believe I can learn it."


    On one hand, Zhao Waner did not believe that Liu Jingjing was good at using the sword, and had never learnt any sword techniques, so how could she learn the Primeval Sword Arts? On the other hand, in order to display the power of the Primeval Sword Arts, she had to maintain a close relationship with Liu Jingjing, and she was not too familiar with him. Even if Liu Jingjing learned it, he would probably be unable to coordinate with her, but right now, Zhao Waner had no other choice, so she let Liu Jingjing try.


    Zhao Waner sighed: "Then I''ll let you try."


    Outside the room, and the others looked at each other. They thought that Zhao Waner would come and cause trouble for them, but it ended just like that?


    "Di Chen..." Just then, Hong Zhao rushed in and said anxiously: "Something has happened, Bai Qian has been killed."


    "What?" Di Chen''s face changed, he suddenly stood and rushed to Bai Qian''s side room. Qin Er, Liu Jingjing, Zhao Waner and the rest also followed, entering Bai Qian''s room, they saw Bai Qian lying in a pool of blood, and died extremely miserably. It seemed that he had lost his life in one strike, Di Chen walked to the side of Bai Qian''s corpse with a face filled with disbelief.


    Zhao Waner squatted down and said with a frown: "The blood trail is not dried yet, looks like he died not long ago."


    Liu Jingjing said: "This place is not far from Di Chen''s room, but we did not sense anything at all. It seems like this guy is very strong, and once we reach Martial Monarch Level, it is very likely that he is a student of Famous Sword Academy."


    If one was not a student of the Famous Sword Academy, it would be impossible to enter, but for that person to kill here meant that he was a student of the Famous Sword Academy, it was actually normal, the students came from all parts of the Martial Region Continent, all parts of the Martial Region Continent, some people were actually from the demonic path, killing people was normal, but Bai Qian was just a Lifestealer Realm, he had no enmity with others, what Martial King would kill him?


    "Di Chen, look at this," Liu Jingjing pointed at the corpse and shouted, with a line of small characters beside him.


    "To save Zi Yan, come to the gate of Youzhou quickly!"


    When Di Chen saw this line of words, he rushed out of the room without thinking.


    "Di Chen, don''t go," Liu Jingjing didn''t even have the time to stop him if she wanted to. The one who killed Bai Qian was very likely to be his Martial King, and he wasn''t his match either.


    But Di Chen could not just sit there and watch, Liu Jingjing also did not have much, and immediately followed.

 C198

    At the very front of the city gates of the Spirit Continent was a woman, covered in blood, her face was filled with rage and resentment, she was indeed Zi Yan, Zi Yan was being grabbed by the other woman, she was dressed in black silk clothes, her face was gloomy and cold, there was an Evil Qi on her body, she was originally called Mo Yuner, she was also a member of the Mo Family, beside Mo Yuner was a man who trusted in her appearance, his name was Mo Feng, and the two of them were also students of the Famous Sword Academy.


    Just at this moment, a few figures ran over quickly, the one in the lead was Di Chen, followed by Zhao Waner, Liu Jingjing and Qin Er. As for the others who did not come, they had no mind to bother with such things.


    "Di Chen..." Zi Yan saw that even tears were flowing out of Di Chen''s eyes. She wanted to struggle free from Mo Yuner in his haste, but was held tightly by her, unable to do so.


    Di Chen noticed that Zi Yan''s entire body was covered in blood. He clenched his fist angrily, looked at Mo Yuner coldly, and said: "Why do you want to kill Bai Qian, and capture Zi Yan, what kind of enmity do they have with you?"


    "It''s you two," Zhao Waner recognized the two of them instantly. The two of them were also at Martial Monarch Level, they had cultivated together with Zhao Waner before. Although she was not familiar with the two of them, she did not believe that they would actually be able to handle a practitioner at Lifestealer Realm.


    Mo Yuner raised an eyebrow when she saw Zhao Waner: "So it''s Wan''er. I didn''t expect you to return, but this matter has nothing to do with you. Don''t meddle in other people''s business."


    It was obvious that Mo Yuner was a little afraid of Zhao Waner.


    Zhao Waner asked: "What exactly happened?"


    Mo Yuner looked at Di Chen and snorted: You can ask this guy about anything.


    Di Chen did not recognize the two of them, and could not remember where he had offended them.


    Liu Jingjing warned in a low voice: "These two have Evil Qi on them, and the Evil Qi is similar to the five Blood-Drinking Sword s from before. I heard that our Famous Sword Academy is a part of the Mo Family, and Di Chen, I think the two of them are from the Mo Family."


    Di Chen and Mo Feng had coincidentally seen the fight. Since the Blood-Drinking Sword was with Zi Yan, it meant that the five generals of the Mo Family were already dead, so the two of them had planned to kill Bai Qian instead. The only thing was that Di Chen''s technique was a little strange, so even though the two of them explained their Martial King, they were afraid that the commotion caused when they killed him, and thus exposed their identities. Thus, they grabbed Zi Yan and lured him here.


    So it''s someone from the Mo Family, "Di Chen said angrily." I was the one who killed the five generals of the Mo Family.


    Mo Feng coldly snorted: "You were the one who killed her, but you had Zi Yan refine five Blood-Drinking Sword into a martial soul, she deserves to die too."


    Qin Er said angrily: "That day, it was you Mo Family people who wanted to kill Di Chen. Di Chen saved their lives, and they deserved it."


    Mo Yuner said angrily: "I do not care who attacked first, I only know that Di Chen killed people from our Mo Family, and he deserves to die. Since you all came today, then don''t even think about leaving, Mo Feng, kill them all."


    Mo Feng did not hesitate as he stepped towards Di Chen, raised a handful of Spirit Sword and thrusted it towards Di Chen. Since Mo Feng was a Martial King, with Di Chen''s cultivation, it was natural that he would not be able to block it.


    "Di Chen, move away," Zhao Waner blocked in front of Di Chen, then brought out a Spirit Sword and welcomed Mo Feng with it. The two swords intersected, giving off a crisp sound of metal colliding, and the two of them seemed to be around the same strength.


    Mo Feng knew that he wouldn''t be able to kill Zhao Waner for a while, and if he delayed it would become troublesome, so he said softly, "Zhao Waner, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you leave, I don''t want to kill you."


    Zhao Waner sneered: "Since you two have revealed your identities, you must have abandoned your status as Famous Sword Academy students. Di Chen is a member of my Famous Sword Academy, I don''t care if you two have enmity with him, I cannot just watch helplessly as you kill him.


    Mo Feng could tell that Zhao Waner was determined to protect Di Chen, and without a word, she charged towards Zhao Waner again.


    Mo Yuner raised her eyebrows, seeing that Mo Feng did not have time to react, he rushed towards him and fiercely punched.


    She was too fast, Di Chen was simply unable to dodge. Similarly, he punched towards Mo Yuner, two fists colliding into each other, causing Di Chen''s entire arm to be smashed into pieces. Blood splattered all over, and his entire body flew out.


    The difference in strength between one Martial King and one Martial King was simply too great.


    "Di Chen..." When Liu Jingjing saw this, she immediately pressed the center of her brows and shot out a bolt of lightning like a silver snake.


    Mo Yuner raised her Spirit Sword and slashed gently, causing the lightning to disappear. She pointed her Spirit Sword forward and a Sword Qi shot out from the sword and directly pierced through Liu Jingjing''s shoulder, causing her to fly backwards.


    Mo Yuner did not seem to have any plans to deal with him. With a tap of her sword, another Sword Qi shot towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen was heavily injured, how could he have the ability to dodge now? If he was stabbed, he would be dead for sure.


    "Not good," Qin Er blocked Di Chen''s path, raised his female sword and welcomed the Sword Qi.


    Di Chen''s expression changed as he said, "Qin Er, you dodge. You are not her opponent."


    Qin Er was the weakest, how could she possibly withstand a single strike from the Martial King? However, Qin Er seemed to have no intention of dodging it at all.


    Bang!


    When the Sword Qi slashed onto Yue Shuang, Qin Er only felt a huge force entering her body, causing her to be bounced off, and continued to penetrate Qin Er''s body.


    Qin Er spat out a mouthful of blood, and a hole appeared in her chest.


    "Qin Er," Di Chen''s face was filled with shock. He wanted to rush over to save Qin Er, but his body was simply incapable of moving.


    Liu Jingjing''s face also changed, Qin Er was actually dead?


    First, Bai Qian had been killed, and now, even Qin Er had been killed. This time, Di Chen was completely enraged.


    "I''ll kill you ¡­" Di Chen took out a piece of paper with the word "spear" written on it. The power of the scholars poured into it, shooting out spears from the paper and falling towards Mo Yuner like rain.


    "You want to kill me with this kind of strength?" Mo Yuner''s face revealed a sneer, she slashed with her sword, and a ray of Sword Qi flew past, causing the spear images that filled the sky to suddenly disappear.


    In the end, Di Chen was only at the fourth level of King Wen. This kind of strength was way too inferior to someone of the Martial King, so this Spear Arts was basically useless to Mo Yuner.


    Seeing that Di Chen was not a match for him, Zhao Waner immediately pushed him back with her sword. She rushed to Liu Jingjing''s side and helped her up before thinking of saving Di Chen.


    At this time, Mo Feng came in front of Zhao Waner again and sneered: "Wan''er, it won''t be that easy to save someone from my clutches."


    Di Chen shouted anxiously: "Wan''er, bring Jingjing and leave this place, don''t worry about me."


    "No," Liu Jingjing stopped her, she did not want to leave Di Chen behind.


    Zhao Waner knew that she could not save the two of them, so she gritted her teeth and led Liu Jingjing away. As for Di Chen, she really had no way to save him.


    "Trying to run?" Mo Feng immediately wanted to chase after Zhao Waner.


    "Don''t go," Mo Yuner interrupted. "Zhao Waner is not weak, you can''t catch up to her, the one who killed Mo Xie and the others is Di Chen, it''ll be fine as long as Di Chen is here."


    Mo Feng thought that it was true, chasing after Zhao Waner in this way would be dangerous, and furthermore, the fight just now was quite long, so it was difficult to guarantee that other disciples of the Famous Sword Academy would pass by, it would be too dangerous if they stayed.


    "I will go kill him," Mo Feng said as he walked towards Di Chen with sword in hand.


    Mo Yuner grabbed Mo Feng and said: "He is a literati, so he might be of some use to us. Let''s bring him back first."


    "Bring him back?" Mo Feng raised his brows: "literati is indeed rare, but we have plenty of people with his strength, why would we bring them back?"


    Mo Yuner shot Di Chen a glance and said: "There will be a use to it eventually. Didn''t we enter the Famous Sword Academy to persuade those who have talent to join the Mo Family?


    The Mo Family was a complicated place, the clan was huge, with many members, and the families were split into factions, thus the people of the Mo Family would recruit experts from the outside world. Of course, Di Chen''s strength could not be considered an expert in the eyes of the Mo Family, but his identity in the literati was special, and he would always be useful to them.


    Although Mo Feng was unwilling, after thinking for a while, he still nodded his head and agreed. He then walked towards Zi Yan, wanting to kill her.


    Mo Yuner stopped her: "She also shouldn''t have killed them, she has already refined the five Blood-Drinking Sword s into martial soul s, the Blood-Drinking Sword s can''t be taken back, but it''s not easy to refine the five swords into martial soul s, let her live."


    The Blood-Drinking Sword was the strongest set of swords in the entire Mo Family, he had witnessed how powerful it was to refine it into a martial soul, he had witnessed the battle that day, and it was only the three swords that had beaten Qing Qing into a sorry state. If all five of the swords came at the same time, even a normal Martial King would be afraid, Zi Yan keeping such a treasure might be worth it.


    Mo Feng grabbed Di Chen and said coldly: "We won''t kill you first, but you better not play any tricks or else don''t blame me for being ruthless. Let''s go."


    Di Chen looked at Mo Feng angrily, and without saying a word, he flung away Mo Feng''s arm. After that, he walked to Zi Yan''s side and asked in concern: "Are you alright?"


    Zi Yan immediately threw himself into Di Chen''s embrace, and said with tears streaming, "I''m fine, but Bai Qian was killed by them."


    Di Chen patted Zi Yan''s back to comfort him, "I understand, I will definitely take revenge for Bai Qian."


    "You still want revenge?" Mo Feng coldly snorted: "Do you believe that I won''t kill you right now?"


    Di Chen said coldly: "Then you better kill me now, and don''t give me the chance to break through to the level of Wen Huang. At that time, I will definitely kill you."


    Although Di Chen''s cultivation level was low, the killing intent was something even Mo Feng would be afraid of.


    Mo Yuner said: "This time, I brought you into the Mo Family, but you were unable to protect yourself. You just hope that you won''t lose too badly. "


    Although Mo Yuner would not kill Di Chen now, it did not mean that others would not kill Di Chen after entering the Mo Family. At that time, it would not be as simple as killing Di Chen.


    Di Chen was not afraid either. He calmly glanced at Mo Yuner, and his gaze landed on Qing and Xiang Zuo as he asked: "Should I really have killed the two of you earlier?"

 C199

    Di Chen had spared his life for Qing and Xiang Zuo, but they still wanted to kill Di Chen and cause trouble for him time and time again. Now that he had colluded with the people of Mo Family, the only thing Di Chen regretted the most was letting them go.


    and Mo Feng were not afraid either. They sneered at Qing Yun: "Who told you not to kill me?


    Di Chen said in a low voice: "It''s the same if I kill you now."


    Xiang Zuo taunted: "Di Chen, why don''t you take a look at the situation? Can you kill us?"


    Mo Yuner stood in front of Di Chen and said: "Di Chen, although the life and death of the two of them are unrelated to us, they are not people that you can kill easily, but you cannot kill them in front of us."


    When Xiang Zuo and Xiang Qing heard this, they felt fear and relief. Although they had volunteered to join the Mo Family, Mo Yuner and Xiang Qing had obviously not treated the two of them seriously. What they felt relieved about was that they would not allow Di Chen to kill them.


    Di Chen did not say much, his eyes flashed with a black light, he saw that Xiang Qing''s life force was only at the top of Xiang Zuo''s head, his Lifestealer Realm, and was much weaker than Di Chen''s. It was extremely easy to erase his HP, but Di Chen had already infused the power of a scholar into his life force, and instantly erased his life force.


    Xiang Qing originally had a sneer on his face, but in the next moment, his smile froze as his entire body fell to the ground, lifeless.


    "Hmm?" Xiang Zuo was startled, he immediately supported Qing and shouted: "Xiangqing, what''s wrong?"


    Xiang Qing did not respond to Xiang Zuo, and allowed Xiang Zuo to sway his body. Xiang Zuo checked Yun Che''s pulse, and found that it had stopped beating, which meant that he was already dead.


    "Dead?" Xiang Zuo was shocked, he looked at Di Chen and roared: "Di Chen, it was you who killed him, right?"


    Di Chen did not reply him, he only sneered, and the power of the scholar once again entered Xiang Zuo''s HP.


    Xiang Zuo immediately felt a cold energy entering his body. He was a Martial King, so he wouldn''t be killed immediately by Di Chen, but his life force was quickly disappearing and he could feel that he wasn''t too far away from death.


    "What did you do to me?" Xiang Zuo hugged his shoulders, his face full of fear.


    Di Chen coldly replied: "I said I would kill you."


    Xiang Zuo did not know how Di Chen killed Xiang Qing, but he released his spirit force, but he was unable to resist the cold. This time, he was afraid, and anxiously said to Mo Yuner: "Senior sister, quickly save me."


    Mo Yuner was also unable to see how Di Chen had done it. It was just that she wasn''t willing to see Di Chen kill someone in front of his, so he immediately stopped him, "Di Chen, hurry up and stop it."


    Di Chen could not be bothered with her and continued to wipe away Xiang Zuo''s HP.


    Mo Yuner angrily slapped her palm on Di Chen''s chest, directly sending Di Chen flying and forcefully interrupting the power of Di Chen''s scholar.


    She looked at Xiang Zuo and asked, "How do you feel?"


    Xiang Zuo could no longer feel the cold, and replied fearfully: "It''s fine now, thank you Senior Sister."


    Only then did Mo Yuner turn to Di Chen and said angrily, "Even though I don''t want to kill you right now, you shouldn''t go too far."


    Xiang Zuo said playfully, thinking that as long as Mo Yuner was here, she would be fine.


    Di Chen forced himself up, then looked at Xiang Zuo with a sneer: "Although I didn''t kill you earlier, you can only live for two more days, so you better make the most of it now."


    Hearing this, Xiang Zuo''s face changed. He could only live for two days?


    "Di Chen..." Xiang Zuo said with a trembling voice: "Stop speaking nonsense here, I am injured and in pain, how do you know I can only live two days."


    Di Chen was too lazy to bother with him.


    Seeing that Di Chen was a little scared instead of replying, Xiang Zuo bellowed: "Di Chen, quickly tell me what you''ve done to me. How do you know that I only have two days left to live?"


    Di Chen was still too lazy to answer him, causing his to become anxious. He immediately rushed towards Di Chen, wanting to make a move.


    Mo Feng pulled Xiang Zuo back and berated him: "Idiot, he only wanted to agitate you, do you really think he would have such a miraculous cultivation technique?"


    Xiang Zuo thought to himself that Mo Feng was still at the Martial King Realm after all. If Di Chen wanted to kill him, he could obviously feel it.


    Mo Feng glanced at Di Chen again and said: "Don''t play any tricks in front of me, and don''t test my patience, or else I will really kill you. Let''s go."


    Di Chen looked at Mo Feng calmly. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to die, and Xiang Zuo did not have much time left to live past the two days, so Di Chen did not have to continue targeting Xiang Zuo. She looked at Qin Er''s body, and then helped him leave, he thought that it would be difficult to return this time.


    Not long after Mo Feng and the rest left, a few figures landed, the ones in the lead were Zhao Fusheng and Dongfang Yue, and behind them were Liu Jingjing and Zhao Waner.


    "Qin Er," Liu Jingjing hurried to Qin Er''s side and tried to breath. She had long since stopped breathing.


    Dongfang Yue treated Qin Er very well, and hoped that Qin Er would be able to inherit her legacy. However, he never expected that Qin Er would die here, and fury filled his heart.


    Zhao Fusheng said in a low voice: "It''s a pity that we don''t know where the Mo Family is, if not I would definitely exterminate his clan."


    Moreover, Di Chen was the most important person in the competition between the three great academies, and yet, Di Chen was taken away by the Mo Family. It was unknown whether he lived or died, so Zhao Fusheng was obviously angry.


    Zhao Waner was familiar with Di Chen, so she was not too sad. She said with a sigh, "I hope she can come back alive."


    "I''m going to find him." As she spoke, she wanted to look for Di Chen, but she didn''t know where Di Chen was. She could only randomly head in one direction.


    Zhao Waner pulled Liu Jingjing back, and advised: "You don''t know where they are, how to find them ah, Jingjing, Di Chen has his ways, I believe he will be fine."


    Although Liu Jingjing was unwilling, she really didn''t know where she should go to find Di Chen.


    Dongfang Yue sighed slightly. This was the first time he saw Liu Jingjing cry, it seemed that Di Chen''s disappearance had dealt a huge blow to her.


    Di Chen''s disappearance was a loss to the Famous Sword Academy.


    After Mo Feng, Mo Yuner, Zi Yan, Xiang Zuo and Xiang Zuo left the Spirit Province, they headed towards the southeast. On the second day of their departure, Xiang Zuo suddenly fell down onto the ground, and died without any forewarning.


    "What''s going on?" Mo Feng looked at Xiang Zuo''s body in shock. He did not feel any fluctuations in Di Chen''s Qi either, so how did Xiang Zuo die?


    Mo Yuner''s expression turned cold: "Di Chen, you did this again?"


    Her killing intent surged, and was already filled with killing intent towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen glanced at Xiang Zuo''s corpse and said calmly: "I already said two days ago that he could only live two days, it''s just that you two do not believe me."


    At first, Mo Yuner and Mo Feng thought that Di Chen was putting on an act when he said that, but Di Chen really made a move at that time?


    Mo Yuner suddenly felt a chill, she did not react at all. This guy was way too dangerous, she said softly: "Di Chen, I do not care how you did it, but if I find that you dared to kill again, do not blame me for being rude, I will kill Zi Yan first."


    Mo Feng also warned him: "That''s right, it seems like with your strength, you still can''t kill us. Otherwise, you would have already made your move, so I advise you not to pray for your life and leave this place alive."


    Di Chen only had Martial King Realm, of course he could not kill Mo Feng and Mo Yuner. He could not be bothered with the two of them and continued to walk.


    The mountain was several tens of thousands of meters tall, and was one of the tallest mountains in the entire Martial Region Continent. After five days, the group arrived at the top of the mountain, which was covered in snow and had a very dangerous road, surrounded by Snow demon. The weakest of these Snow demon were at least Demonic King, and the strongest were at least in the Demonic Sect realm.


    There was a huge palace, and that was the Mo Family.


    It was no wonder that no one could find the location of the Mo Family. The top of the Gate of Heaven was extremely dangerous, an avalanche could occur if they were careless. It was really a wonder how they managed to find a way to build a palace here.


    "Go in, this is our Mo Family," Mo Yuner seriously warned. "Don''t play any tricks when you enter our Mo Family, otherwise you will die miserably."


    Di Chen could vaguely sense that there was a huge amount of Evil Qi in the palace, if he was slightly weaker, he would probably be killed by the Evil Qi.


    "I know," Di Chen nodded his head and then pulled Zi Yan away. He noticed that Zi Yan''s face was filled with fear, and smiled: "Don''t be afraid, I''m here."


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, Zi Yan was finally relieved, nodded, and nodded heavily.


    Mo Yuner sneered: "It''s best for you to take good care of your own life, you still have the mood to care about her."


    After entering the palace, he saw many people bowing towards Mo Yuner and Mo Feng, it seemed that the two of them were not weak at all.


    "Seventh Miss, Sixth Young Master, you''ve returned." Just then, an old man walked over. This old man was dressed in a red robe and looked very kind, unlike a Devil Dao. His name was Demon Soul and was considered a butler of Mo Family, but his position was not low.


    Mo Yuner seemed to be very respectful to the old man, and laughed: "Oh, so it''s Elder Soul, where is my father, I want to go see him."


    The Demon Soul said, "Old master has guests here and is currently discussing important matters. I''m afraid that I can''t see you. Please wait for a while."


    As he spoke, he curiously looked at Di Chen and asked: "That''s right, Miss, who are these two?"


    Mo Yuner looked at Zi Yan and Di Chen coldly, "They are the students of the Famous Sword Academy."


    Demon Soul smiled and said, "So it''s little miss''s junior brothers and sisters. Little miss will bring them here to have a good relationship with them."


    Because the Mo Family was a demonic dao with many enemies, many people wanted to kill the Mo Family. Thus, under normal circumstances, outsiders were not allowed to enter the Mo Family, unless they were trustworthy, which was why the Demon Soul had misunderstood.

 C200

    Mo Yuner glanced at Di Chen and said: "They already know of my and Mo Feng''s identities, that''s why we brought him here."


    Mo Feng was startled when he heard this, and inwardly thought that Mo Yuner did not directly say that Di Chen was the killer of the five generals from the Mo Family.


    "So it''s like that ¡­" The Demon Soul glanced at Di Chen and Zi Yan, and said: "I assume Seventh Miss and Sixth Young Master still want to cultivate and travel outside, your identities cannot be revealed. Since they know about it, we should kill them."


    As he spoke, a wave of killing intent appeared. It seemed as if he wanted to make a move.


    Zi Yan was so afraid that he hid behind Di Chen. Di Chen looked at the Demon Soul warily, he never thought that this benevolent looking old man would have such a murderous heart.


    Mo Yuner blocked them: "The two of them might be useful. Don''t kill them first, just lock them in the dungeon."


    The Demon Soul nodded, then looked at the two and said, "Follow me."


    With that, he left, and before Di Chen could even object, Di Chen and Zi Yan had no choice but to follow him.


    Only after Mo Feng and the others left did they look at Mo Yuner and ask, "Why don''t you go directly to the devil soul?


    Mo Yuner said calmly: "The devil soul belongs to Big Uncle, and you also know that Big Uncle and Father are never on good terms, so it''s best not to tell them about this for the time being."


    Mo Feng said with an expression of surprise, "Yun''er, it can''t be that you don''t want to kill them, right? What is your purpose in bringing them back?"


    Earlier, Mo Feng thought that Mo Yuner really wanted to leave Di Chen for her father to handle, but now he had a strange thought. It seemed that Mo Yuner did not want to kill Di Chen, otherwise, she would not have concealed Di Chen''s identity just now.


    Mo Yuner slightly shook her head, and without saying a word, she headed straight towards the backyard.


    Mo Feng knew that this Seventh Sister of hers had always been smart. She must have her reasons for what she wanted to do, so she didn''t ask too much and followed her.


    Not long after he left, a man walked over. This man had a head of brown hair with a demonic smile on his face, he was Mo Family''s current eldest brother, Demon Abyss, the son of Mo Yuner''s eldest uncle.


    "Sixth brother, seventh sister, you''re back?" Demon Abyss smiled and asked, "How is your Famous Sword Academy''s cultivation progress?"


    When Mo Feng saw the abyss, his face was filled with anger, and he almost wanted to curse a few times. Mo Yuner said in advance, "Famous Sword Academy is one of the three great academies, our cultivation has increased by quite a lot."


    The Demon Abyss laughed and said, "If there''s a chance, we can spar for a while. I would like to know what''s so great about Famous Sword Academy''s sword techniques."


    Mo Yuner expressionlessly replied. Without further ado, she left with Mo Feng.


    Demon Abyss stared at the two''s backs for a while before leaving.


    "This Demon Abyss is vicious. It seems that they want to exchange pointers with us because they want to kill us."


    Mo Feng scoffed, "If I had the chance, I would have definitely killed him."


    Mo Yuner said in a serious tone: "Sixth Brother, you cannot say such nonsense, it would be bad if others were to hear it."


    Mo Family was too complicated. Some things could only be imagined, but not said.


    The devil soul brought Di Chen and Zi Yan to the dungeon in the Mo Family. There were many cages in the dungeon, and many people who were disadvantaged to the Mo Family were imprisoned there. Some of these people were prisoners from the Mo Family, and some were the enemies of the Mo Family.


    "Di Chen..." Zi Yan walked along the aisle, and approached Di Chen somewhat fearfully. These fellows were all too strong.


    Di Chen held onto Zi Yan''s hand tightly, comforted with a smile: "It''s alright, I''m here."


    The devil soul glanced at Di Chen and asked curiously, "Although Seventh Miss didn''t kill you, I can see that she harbored killing intent towards you. You actually aren''t afraid at all."


    Di Chen said calmly: "She is of the Martial King, she can kill me at any time she wants, but since she brought me here, she naturally has a reason. No matter how long she wishes to keep me locked up, at least I have nothing to do for now."


    The devil soul laughed, "Killing you is just a thought from Seventh Miss. Although you and Seventh Miss are junior and junior brothers, you don''t understand her. Furthermore, since you have come to Mo Family, this means that your life and death cannot be decided by Seventh Miss."


    Although Di Chen''s expression was calm, he was already slightly worried in his heart. The demonic Qi of Mo Family was too strong, he was afraid that he did not have a good ending like Mo Yuner had said, but now, Di Chen could only take one step at a time, and hope that there was a way to escape.


    The devil soul brought Di Chen and his group to an empty cell, thought for a while, and then brought Di Chen to the last cell. There were already over a dozen people locked in this cell, and all of their expressions were evil.


    "Go in," the Demon Soul opened the cage, looked at Di Chen and smiled, "Do your best."


    He had initially brought Di Chen to an empty prison, but now, he had locked Di Chen in a prison with criminals. He had truly wanted to kill Di Chen.


    The cages were filled with powerful devils, killing without blinking an eye, people like Di Chen and Zi Yan would not even be able to survive.


    Di Chen calmly glanced at the people in the cage, and simply judged their strength, some of them were weaker than Di Chen, but there were others stronger than him, he brought Zi Yan to a corner.


    Everyone stared at Di Chen and Zi Yan, all of them harboring malicious intentions.


    "A Lifestealer Realm warrior and a person without Origin Energy, why would Mo Family''s people imprison you in here?"


    An Evil Qi man walked in front of Di Chen and laughed: "How did you offend the people of Mo Family?"


    This man''s cultivation level was Third Level of the Martial King Realm, so it wasn''t considered weak outside, but it wasn''t much to Di Chen. Di Chen''s realm was the realm of Martial King six stages, and the realm of scholars was at the fourth level of King Wen.


    Di Chen glanced at the man and laughed: "If I told you that I killed the Mo Family''s Five Generals, would you believe me?"


    "They?" The man was stunned at first when he heard this, then said with a face full of ridicule: "I remember those five guys were at the fourth level of the Martial King realm and had the strongest cultivation out of all of them, and all of them were holding Blood-Drinking Sword.


    Many of them were defeated by the five generals of the Mo Family and there was no elemental energy in Di Chen''s body. Thus, no one believed that Di Chen had the ability to do so and no one else seemed to believe it.


    Di Chen laughed but did not speak, he could not be bothered with him.


    "You''re quite arrogant, how dare you ignore me," When the man saw that Di Chen was ignoring him, his face darkened, "Do you want to die?"


    How could they not know what this man was thinking? He was just finding an excuse to deal with Di Chen, no matter what Di Chen did, it would be useless.


    Everyone lazily laughed as they looked at Di Chen, thinking that this guy was dead for sure, wasn''t this the reason why the devil soul brought Di Chen here?


    Di Chen also knew the man''s motive, but he still didn''t say anything.


    "You''re seeking death," the man said as his spirit energy gushed out and grabbed at Di Chen.


    Di Chen suddenly raised his head to look at the man, and just as he was about to grab him, his body suddenly stopped, as though he had been imprisoned by something.


    "What''s going on?" The man exclaimed, "Why can''t I move?"


    Di Chen stepped forward and smashed his fist into the man''s chest, directly sending him flying and heavily smashing into the wall. The man died on the spot.


    "What?" When the others saw this, they were shocked. This fellow didn''t seem to have any Yuan Power undulations, but he had actually smashed him to death with a single punch?


    Di Chen ignored the others and closed his eyes to rest, while Zi Yan leaned on Di Chen''s shoulder and closed his eyes to rest.


    Just as Di Chen had thought, the rest of them retracted their gazes. It was likely that no one dared to have any ideas about Di Chen at this time.


    Not far away from the cell, the Demon Soul watched curiously as Di Chen killed the two of them. He was also surprised because he thought that the two of them would definitely die, but he did not feel any energy fluctuations from Di Chen''s body.


    Directly above him was a middle-aged man in his forties. This was Mo Family''s Mo Xiuwen, which was also Mo Yuner''s and Mo Feng''s father, and below him sat a dignified man, and this was Mo Xiuqi, who was also the father of the Demon Abyss. Beside him were a dozen or so devil elders and the juniors of the Mo Family, all of whom were in the Martial Saint realm and all of whom were martial kings to the Martial Monarch Level.


    "All these years, the Spirit Province has always regarded our Mo Family as a demonic path, trying our best to kill it." All these years, the Spirit Province has always regarded our Mo Family as a demonic path, trying its best to kill it.


    Mo Xiuqi said loudly, "We must teach those people who have been wanting to kill our Mo Family a lesson. We should kill them."


    Mo Xiuwen retorted: "Big brother''s words are not right, there are too many enemies in our Mo Family, we cannot be too high-profile, if not we Mo Family will become a thorn in more people''s eyes."


    Mo Xiuqi liked to fight, he had ambitions, and he even wanted to occupy the entire Spirit Province. Therefore, he advocated to kill, and anyone who threatened the Mo Family would die, while Mo Xiuwen, as a Family Head, was different.


    "I agree with big brother, I can''t ignore the fact that Mo Ren was killed outside the sect a while ago," said another middle-aged man. His name was Mo Xiansheng, and he was ranked eighth among his generation, while Mo Ren was his son.


    At this time, a few more people expressed their opinions, all of them agreeing with Mo Xiuqi. The news of Mo Family''s Five Great Generals being killed in the outside world had already been spread, and most of the people who agreed were the direct relatives of the five people.


    Mo Xiuwen refuted: "Mo Xie and the others do not actually have much talent, but in order to increase the influence of the Mo Family, you all allowed them to commit unrighteous deeds in the outside world, so it''s normal for them to attract bloodshed. I think that we should stop doing such things in the future."


    The Mo Family was originally very low-key, but previously, Mo Xiuqi had intentionally picked out five people from the younger generation of the Mo Family. Although the talent of these five people were considered average compared to the rest of the people of the Mo Family, they were not weak in the outside world. Mo Xiuqi named them the Five Generals of the Mo Family and bestowed them with Blood-Drinking Sword, allowing them to represent the people of the Mo Family and act tyrannically outside, increasing the influence of the people of the Mo Family.

 C201

    The Mo Family was famous for being a demonic cultivator, but in reality, not everyone was a demonic cultivator. The Mo Family had a large amount of power, and there were a lot of people training in demonic techniques, thus they were labeled as a demonic cultivator. In reality, however, there were only Mo Xiuqi and the rest.


    Mo Xiuqi was furious that the sword blood was stolen, and snorted: "Are they going to die for nothing?"


    Mo Xiuwen shook his head: "If we find the person who killed them, my Mo Family will naturally not let him go. After all, the Blood-Drinking Sword must find something extraordinary before we can find it.


    Hearing this, everyone turned silent, it was time for Mo Family to train the next Family Head, and this position was very important, there were many people in the younger generation in Mo Family who were suitable, if they wanted to obtain the position of the next successor, it was inevitable that they would kill each other.


    However, everyone wanted their children to be the next successors, so for a time, no one was willing to speak.


    "I suggest that the Demon Abyss inherit the position of the Family Head," At this time, Mo Xiuniang spoke up. His son had already been killed, so he might as well support Mo Xiuqi.


    Mo Xiuqi did not say a word, even if he did not support it nor oppose it.


    "I support Mo Feng," someone else said. This person was Mo Xiuwen''s supporter.


    "I feel that Mo Xiao is the strongest amongst the younger generation, I choose him." The person who spoke was called Mo Hong. He was ranked eighth in the Mo Family and Mo Xiao was his son.


    However, when everyone heard Mo Hong mention Mo Xiao, they were slightly stunned.


    "Eighth brother, Xiao''er is only fourteen years old right now, but he''s too young. It doesn''t seem appropriate for him to cultivate to Family Head."


    Devil Hong disapprovingly said, "Although he is relatively young, his talent is very good. He has already broken through to the seventh level of the Martial King realm."


    "Seventh level of the Martial King realm?" It was extremely rare to cultivate to this realm at this age, even Mo Feng was unable to do so. Before this, Mo Xiao had always been very low profile in the Mo Family, but now he had actually silently cultivated to this level?


    "Not only that, I had him attempt to cultivate the Desolation Spell previously, but he actually managed to learn it. It seems that no one in our Mo Family has been able to learn it in a long time."


    "Mo Xiao can actually cultivate such an evil technique?" The Desolation Spell was passed down in the ancestors of the Mo Family, but it was extremely evil and very difficult to cultivate, and no one in the Mo Family had learnt it in the past few years. Furthermore, it was very vicious, and required a large amount of human blood during cultivation, so the cultivation of the Mo Family was forbidden, but who would have thought that Xiao Xiao would not only try to cultivate it, but actually learn it too?


    Mo Xiuwen said with a hint of anger: "Eighth brother, this Desolation Spell is too evil, why didn''t you let Mo Xiao cultivate to let me know?"


    Mo Xiuqi frowned: "But this technique is too evil, he is still young and immature, if I learn it, I am afraid it will bring harm to our Mo Family, I think it is better not to let him train in it."


    The Desolation Spell was a forbidden technique. If a person did not have sufficient willpower, it could easily be controlled by the technique. If that were to happen, even the Mo Family would be in trouble. "


    I am only trying to let him cultivate. If he were to really learn it, it would only increase the power of our Mo Family by a step, and it would definitely bring about hundreds of benefits to him. I don''t think you guys would be afraid of losing your children to Xiao''er, so you don''t want him to cultivate, right? "


    The Desolation Spell was the most powerful technique in the Mo Family, if Mo Xiao were to learn it, not to mention the Demon Abyss, Mo Feng and the others, even Mo Xiuqi''s generation would be surpassed by him sooner or later. This was also the reason why Mo Xiuqi was unwilling to let Mo Xiao cultivate, but since Mo Xiao was able to do so, he could not stop him.


    "If you want him to cultivate, that''s up to you, but you must not affect our Mo Family."


    still agreed in the end. Originally, others still had their objections, but after hearing what Mo Xiuwen had said, they couldn''t oppose it anymore.


    There were a lot of geniuses in the Mo Family, so it was naturally not just Mo Xiao, but practically every member of the younger generation would support him. Of course, one would also have to look at''s talent, temperament, and other comprehensive factors to become the successor of the Family Head.


    Mo Xiuqi saw that everyone had different opinions, and said: "Since that''s the case, let''s have everyone from Mo Family fight a round, and choose a few stronger than the others."


    Mo Xiuwen retorted, "That won''t do. Our Mo Family''s disciples have trained for a long time, so their strength is naturally stronger. However, having a strong cultivation right now doesn''t mean that their future cultivation will be strong."


    If it was a competition, then the Demon Abyss would probably be the strongest, he would definitely become the Family Head, but that would be unfair for the others, and many people agreed with Mo Xiuwen''s suggestion.


    Mo Xiuqi frowned: Then what do you think we should do?


    Mo Xiuwen said: "Aren''t many prisoners in our Mo Family? These prisoners have always been ferocious, I think only by competing with prisoners of a certain level can we see through a person''s talent, what about it?"


    Everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Those prisoners were all powerful individuals, and if any one of the younger generation in the Mo Family could defeat those prisoners, then they naturally did not have the qualifications to inherit the position of the Family Head.


    "Alright, then it''s decided," Mo Xiuqi agreed. "We will conduct a preliminary test in a month''s time and select a few candidates."


    The others also agreed one after another in order to give the juniors a chance to adjust.


    After that, everyone left one by one. After everyone had left, Mo Yuner and Mo Feng walked in, leaving Mo Xiuwen and the other two in the hall.


    "Yun''er, Feng''er, you''re back?" Seeing the two return, Mo Xiuwen was pleasantly surprised, he was quite satisfied with the two of them.


    Mo Yuner said: "Father, Sixth Brother and I revealed our identities, so we had no choice but to come back."


    Mo Xiuwen frowned: "What''s going on, all of you have never considered yourselves to be from the Mo Family in the outside world, how could you be exposed?"


    Mo Yuner said: "We discovered the identity of the person who killed Mo Xie and the others, and in order to capture him, we exposed his identity. I think the Famous Sword Academy will not be able to return."


    It seemed like she really wanted to return to the Famous Sword Academy. It was just that her identity as a Mo Family Cultivator was too sensitive, and if she went back to the Academy as a Mo Family, she would be rejected, and there would even be danger.


    Mo Xiuwen laughed indifferently: "It''s fine if you don''t want to go back, but it just so happens that next month will be the start of the next successor selection for our Mo Family. You guys have returned at the right time."


    "Next month?" Mo Feng was startled for a moment. "Father, how could you be so fast?"


    Normally, Mo Family would stay in power for at least thirty years, but Mo Xiuwen had only twenty years. It was too early for him to choose the next family now.


    Mo Xiuwen laughed bitterly: "You also know that your uncle had always been unconvinced after losing to me, so all these years he has been thinking of ways to let the Demon Abyss inherit the position of the Family Head. His position in our Mo Family is very important, your third uncle, fourth uncle and the others all support him, so I have no choice."


    Mo Feng''s face was filled with anticipation: This is good too, my cultivation has improved a lot over the years, I also want to see if I have the qualifications to do so.


    Mo Feng had always wanted to inherit the position of the Family Head, but in fact, Mo Xiuwen didn''t think too highly of him.


    Mo Yuner didn''t care, whoever became the Family Head would be the same to her, as long as it did not affect her cultivation, then it would be fine. This was also what disappointed Mo Xiuwen the most, she actually thought highly of Mo Yuner.


    Mo Xiuwen changed the subject, "You just said that you captured the person who killed Mo Xie and the others. Where is he?"


    Mo Yuner said: "I let the devil soul take them to the dungeon, they are still locked up right now."


    "A dungeon?" Mo Xiuwen was startled, then said: "That place is extremely dangerous, I am afraid that he is already dead."


    Originally, she only wanted to lock Di Chen up, and had never thought of killing him before. However, she did not know if the devil soul would think like that, if they had locked him up with those other dangerous people, he would probably be dead by now.


    Mo Yuner immediately rushed towards the dungeon, and arrived a few minutes later. Di Chen was reading a book, so Zi Yan snuggled up to Di Chen, and the others also went to rest. In a corner of the dungeon, there was a man lying in a pool of blood, he seemed to have been killed already.


    Seeing that Di Chen was still alive, Mo Yuner heaved a sigh of relief. She ordered someone to open the cell door, and said: "Di Chen, Zi Yan, the two of you come out."


    Di Chen walked out with Qin Er. Mo Yuner nodded her head at the man''s corpse and said: "Did you kill him?"


    Di Chen casually said: "He''s the one who wants to kill me, I''m just protecting myself."


    Mo Yuner thought that the Demon Soul really wanted to kill them, but she felt that it was strange, why did the Demon Soul want to kill them all of a sudden?


    "Come with me," Mo Yuner thought to herself. She couldn''t keep Di Chen in the prison for the time being, otherwise, the two of them would be in danger.


    Mo Xiuwen looked at Di Chen and frowned, "Yun''er, it was the two of them that killed Mo Xie and the rest?"


    Mo Yuner pointed at Di Chen and said: "Father, it was him who killed Mo Xie and the others."


    Mo Xiuwen looked up and down at Di Chen. Similarly, he did not sense any spirit energy from Di Chen''s body, and frowned: "If there are no spirit energy fluctuations, then he should not be a warrior. To be able to kill Mo Xie and the others, it shows that his strength is not weak.


    Other than the fact that the literati did not have any elemental energy, there was also a group of Magi in the western part of the Martial Region Continent.


    Mo Feng explained: "He is indeed a literati, and is currently at the fourth level of King Wen. However, he is not a pure literati, and his strength is also very strong."


    Mo Xiuwen curiously looked at Di Chen, thinking that literati''s body had always been weak, there must be a secret behind this guy''s powerful strength.


    "Right?" Mo Xiuwen said in surprise: "Yun''er, why did you bring him back?"


    Mo Yuner thought for a while and said: "I want to give him to father for treatment. If father feels that he''s a talent or can keep him, if not, then I''ll just leave him to Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle and the others."


    Mo Yuner''s third and fourth uncle were exactly the fathers of Mo Xie and the others, so handing them over the treatment would be considered as giving them an explanation.

 C202

    Mo Xiuwen laughed: "Towards those with strength, I, Mo Xiuwen, will never easily kill them. If he wants to preserve his life, it will be his own. How about this, in a few days, I will allow him to enter the fighting ground.


    Under normal circumstances, only one in a hundred would be able to survive. Of course, if they were able to survive, they would definitely be taken seriously by the Mo Family, and that devil soul would originally be a person imprisoned in the Mo Family. In the end, it survived in the fighting ground, and today, it had become a very important figure by Mo Xiuqi''s side.


    "Alright," Mo Yuner nodded, then looked at Di Chen and said: "Don''t say that I didn''t give you a chance, whether or not you can continue living is up to you."


    Di Chen remained silent. He did not know what fighting ground was like, but he could imagine that it must be very dangerous.


    "Who is she?" Mo Xiuwen looked at Zi Yan, he only had Lifestealer Realm, he did not seem like someone with talent or strength.


    Mo Yuner explained: "Her name is Zi Yan. Although her talent is average, she refined all five Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul before. She''s not weak."


    Mo Xiuwen was startled: "This Blood-Drinking Sword Evil Qi is too heavy, even purifying Evil Qi to condense into martial soul is not easy, her talent is average, and she can actually refine five swords into martial soul s?"


    An ordinary person could cultivate up to two martial soul at most, and being able to cultivate up to five martial soul was indeed rare, not to mention a person with ordinary talent.


    Mo Feng said: "If Fourth Uncle and the others knew about this, they would definitely kill her. Father, I think it would be better to hand her over to Fourth Uncle and the others right now, in case they misunderstand you."


    Zi Yan refining the Blood-Drinking Sword into a martial soul would not be hidden for long before it was discovered by others. Now that people saw that not only Mo Xiuwen did not kill Zi Yan, but had her by his side instead, they would definitely feel enmity towards him. Mo Family''s situation was already complicated, so if Mo Xiuwen lost the support of these people, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Mo Xiuwen was also a little hesitant, and said: "They are the culprits who killed Mo Xie and the others, this matter naturally cannot be concealed for too long, Feng''er has a point."


    Hearing that, both Di Chen and Zi Yan''s face changed. Mo Xiuwen wanted to kill them?


    Mo Yuner was startled: "Father, but they are not weak at all, is it not a pity to kill them?"


    Mo Xiuwen and Mo Xiuqi''s competition was very intense, and Mo Xiuwen was also training his subordinates, but Di Chen and Zi Yan were both people that could be trained, and the reason Mo Yuner brought them back was also because of that. Compared to killing them, she was more willing to accept them, since in her heart, he did not care about the deaths of Mo Xie and the others at all.


    Mo Feng disagreed: "Yun''er, there are many geniuses in Martial Region Continent, so I don''t care about the two of them."


    Mo Yuner advised: "But literati is hard to come by, furthermore, you know Di Chen''s strength, I heard that he can even kill us when we see him, if he kills us, it will be a loss, but in truth, this matter just needs to be kept a secret."


    Mo Feng also hesitated, he had heard a lot of rumors about Di Chen, and he had also seen Di Chen fight before, killing this kind of person was definitely a loss.


    "But," Mo Feng said hesitantly, "we can hide this matter of Di Chen killing Mo Xie and the others. Zi Yan refined five Blood-Drinking Sword, so this matter cannot be concealed for long."


    Mo Yuner stared at Zi Yan for a while, then pondered: "The reason why she''s so powerful is because of the five Blood-Drinking Sword, in truth, we can pull her out and transplant her into someone else''s body, as for her, it''s useless."


    There were many people who robbed martial soul from Martial Region Continent, but Zi Yan''s strength lay in his ability at being a martial soul. Taking out a martial soul meant nothing to her, and compared to Di Chen, Zi Yan truly did not have much value.


    Zi Yan''s expression changed, and he subconsciously hid behind Di Chen.


    Di Chen blocked in front of Zi Yan and said seriously: "If you want to kill her, then kill me first."


    Mo Feng snorted: "Di Chen, we saw that your strength was not bad and were somewhat of value, so we wanted to protect your life.


    Mo Yuner agreed: "And I know you like Liu Jingjing, but this Zi Yan doesn''t like you either, why do you have to risk your life for her?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "What relationship I have with Zi Yan has nothing to do with you guys, in short, I will not let you kill her."


    It was obvious that Di Chen''s intentions were already set. If he were to kill Zi Yan, Di Chen would naturally not be willing to submit either.


    Mo Xiuwen waved his hand and stopped Mo Feng, and said: "Actually, this matter is very easy to explain. Just say that someone killed Mo Xie and the others, and you guys just so happened to kill that person, stole the five Blood-Drinking Sword s, and then refined them into martial soul s. That way, no one would suspect you guys.


    Saying that, Mo Xiuwen''s eyes became cold, if Di Chen had said anything, he was afraid that he would immediately kill him.


    Di Chen had already made a promise with Li You not to reveal the matter of killing Mo Xie and the others, other than her, no one else knew, so Di Chen did not need to worry about anyone else knowing, and nodded.


    Mo Xiuwen retracted his killing intent and laughed: "This is for the best, I will not kill this lady, but you have to swear to submit to my Mo Family, how about it?"


    Killing Zi Yan wasn''t beneficial to him, but he could instead use her to control Zi Yan.


    Seeing that they had given up on killing Zi Yan, Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said: "As long as you let Zi Yan go."


    Mo Xiuwen laughed: "It''s impossible for us to let her go, in the future she will just stay in our Mo Family. Of course, we are only giving you a chance, whether or not she dies will all depend on whether or not you can stay in the fighting ground to protect your life. Yun''er, take him away, don''t make things difficult for them for the next few days."


    "Alright," Only then did Mo Yuner bring Di Chen and leave. Although Mo Feng did not agree to do so, he had no choice.


    Di Chen did not know what was happening to the fighting ground, but he was very clear that with his current cultivation, it would be very difficult for him to survive in the fighting ground.


    Di Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Mo Family was complicated.


    "Although I temporarily don''t want to kill you, don''t be happy too early."


    Mo Yuner saw through Di Chen''s thoughts and said, "If you die in fighting ground, I will still kill Zi Yan."


    Di Chen said calmly: "I will survive."


    After Mo Yuner heard this, she stopped. She stared at Di Chen and said: "You want to survive not only to protect Zi Yan, but also to take revenge for Qin Er. You want to kill me, right?"


    When Di Chen thought about Qin Er''s death, he could not help but become furious. He clenched his fist and looked at Mo Yuner, not saying a word.


    Mo Yuner naturally knew what Di Chen was thinking, he was too lazy to speak anymore and directly left with Di Chen and Zi Yan following closely behind.


    "Seventh Sister?" It was at this moment that a curious voice sounded from afar.


    Mo Yuner stopped in her tracks and saw a fourteen or fifteen year old youth with a tender face and eyes that were bright red like blood. When Mo Yuner saw him, he revealed a look of disgust that disappeared in a flash.


    "Tenth Brother, what''s the matter?" Mo Yuner frowned, this young man was Mo Xiao, also the son of the Hundred Devil Hong.


    Mo Xiao walked over and laughed: "It''s nothing, I just heard that Seventh Sister was back so I came over to take a look."


    His gaze landed on Di Chen and Zi Yan again, and asked curiously: "Oh right, who are these two people, could it be that they are Senior Sister''s junior brothers and junior sisters in Famous Sword Academy?"


    Mo Yuner knew that Mo Xiao''s killing intent was heavy, and was afraid that he would have ill intentions towards Di Chen, and said earnestly: "They are my friends, and will be training in Mo Family for a period of time."


    Although he agreed, he pretended as if he did not hear it. He stared intently at Di Chen and said: "I do not have any spirit energy in my body. I look very weak."


    The corner of his mouth suddenly opened and closed as he spoke.


    Di Chen suddenly felt the blood and energy in his body surging, a sinister evil ghost appeared in his head, this evil ghost was dozens of feet tall, there was a horn on its head, and its blood red eyes were staring straight at Di Chen, causing Di Chen to shudder, Di Chen''s face was filled with fear, as though he was about to be scared to death.


    "Mo Xiao, what are you doing?" Mo Yuner berated, and a burst of spirit energy gushed out.


    Mo Xiao''s body shook for a moment, then was broken. He retracted his spirit force, and only then did Di Chen return to normal.


    "Di Chen, are you alright?" Zi Yan asked anxiously.


    Di Chen waved his hands, but he was too shocked just now and actually couldn''t recover his senses for a while. As a literati, he had a resolute nature, this was the first time he was scared to this extent.


    "I am just testing the might of my newly refined Desolation Spell." Mo Xiao laughed: "Looks like this Desolation Spell is not weak. It''s just a pity that the experimental subject is a trash without any soul force, and is unable to show the power of this Desolation Spell."


    Mo Yuner was startled when she heard about the Desolation Spell. "You actually cultivated the Mo Family''s forbidden technique?"


    The cultivation of the forbidden technique was forbidden, but the main reason was that no one was able to train in it. Even his own father was unable to train in it, yet this Mo Xiao actually learnt it?


    Mo Xiao chuckled: "I was lucky enough to learn a little bit, but right now, I am only at the fourth stage of the Martial King realm. This Desolation Spell should be useless against Seventh Sister, but one day I will definitely surpass her.


    As he said that, he stopped after walking a few steps, he turned to look at Di Chen and laughed: "I say, you are too trash, with your cultivation, coming to our Mo Family is just courting death, I hope you can live for a few more days."


    Mo Yuner stared at Mo Xiao''s back in anger. This guy had always been arrogant, now that he had learnt Desolation Spell, it would be even worse if others looked at him.


    "Di Chen," Demonshine looked at Di Chen and asked, "Are you injured?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "Luckily you stopped him just now, otherwise my mind would have been shattered into pieces. This Desolation Spell is so terrifying, ordinary people would not be able to withstand it."


    It had to be known that just now, even Di Chen was almost killed by the Desolation Spell, but in truth, there was still a way to defend against it. Di Chen already had a plan.

 C203

    Mo Yuner could hear the hidden meaning behind Di Chen''s words and she said in shock, "Di Chen, are you saying that you can block this Desolation Spell?"


    Di Chen said calmly: This Desolation Spell is a ghost curse that affects my mental state, it is just like how it is affected by the demon of mood during cultivation. There is a quiet formula among my formula, it can help me calm down and reduce the impact of this Desolation Spell on me, but I did not use it just now.


    Mo Yuner was secretly surprised, the reason why the Mo Family prohibited training in the Desolation Spell was because there was no way to withstand it, killing people was invisible and too poisonous, she never thought that Di Chen would actually have a way to resist the Desolation Spell, and this was just the first time, but after thinking for a bit, she could understand, Di Chen''s technique was different from a martial artist''s, it was normal for him to have a way to resist it.


    Mo Yuner reminded him: "This Mo Xiao often kills people for no reason at all, if you see him again in the future, it would be best for you to hide far away. Although his Desolation Spell cannot affect you, his strength is not inferior to yours."


    Mo Xiao could kill people without them noticing, and Di Chen could also do it, if Mo Xiao provoked Di Chen again, Di Chen could directly erase his HP, and no one would be able to sense him.


    Mo Yuner did not seem to be afraid of Di Chen at all, she thought that Di Chen must have a way to deal with him, she suddenly had a strange thought, this Mo Xiao was very dangerous, if he were to die, it would actually be good for him, but in the Mo Family, it was very difficult to kill him, but Di Chen could quietly kill him.


    "Let''s go," Mo Yuner only thought about it, in the end she did not plan to take action. She arranged a separate room for Di Chen and Zi Yan.


    Mo Yuner seriously reminded: "You will be living here during this period of time. Remember, do not casually walk around Mo Family, if not, I will not care if you leave."


    Di Chen nodded, he had already felt that the Mo Family''s Evil Qi was too strong, so he did not plan to leave the room.


    "Also," Mo Yuner continued, "In a few days, you will be entering the fighting ground.


    To be honest, she did not know how much of a chance Di Chen had to survive, so she left after saying that.


    Di Chen returned to his room and started to cultivate. In the short span of a few days, it was impossible for Di Chen to break through to a small realm, so he could only try his best to increase the power of scholars.


    Not long after Mo Yuner left, she saw a teenage girl walking over. The girl wore a white robe and had a pigtail tied around her head, looking very lively.


    "Seventh Sister?" Mo Xun ran over with a smile, her relationship with Mo Yuner was not bad: "You''re finally back."


    Mo Yuner laughed and said: "That''s right, you seem to have broken through to the Martial King realm, your cultivation is rather fast."


    Mo Xun laughed heartily: "During this period of time, father has always forced me to train, so I have no choice."


    After saying that, she suddenly revealed a hint of hatred and coldly said, "I heard that Brother Demon Qing was killed a while ago. I want to find the person who killed Brother Demon Qing and then kill him."


    Mo Yuner knew that Mo Xun and Mo Qing''s relationship had always been good, if she knew that the person who killed Mo Qing was here, she would definitely find Di Chen to settle the score, but now was not the right time.


    "As long as you cultivate properly, we will find out about this matter." Mo Yuner laughed and said.


    "That''s right," Mo Xun said curiously. "I heard that you brought your junior and junior sister here. Where are they?


    Mo Yuner did not want Mo Xun to cause trouble, so she smiled and said: "They are all cultivating, do not disturb them. Let''s go, it''s been a while since we last met, let''s talk."


    Mo Xun could tell that Mo Yuner did not want to see them, so she followed Mo Yuner with a smile, but she secretly glanced towards the room that Di Chen was in, and laughed sinisterly.


    "Your Tenth Brother, Mo Xiao, has cultivated the Desolation Spell. Although he is currently only at the seventh level of the Martial King realm, breaking through Martial King is only a matter of time. I''m afraid he is a threat to you."


    After Mo Xiuqi learned about the Desolation Spell, he had always been worried that it would affect the position of the Family Head that the Demon Abyss inherited. After all, Mo Xiao''s talent was even greater than the Demon Abyss''s.


    "Desolation Spell?" After Demon Abyss heard this, a surprised look appeared on his face. "He had always been very low-key before, I didn''t think that he was just patiently enduring it."


    Mo Hong and Mo Xiao, the father and son pair, had always been low-profile in the Mo Family, and basically did not exist. However, right now, they suddenly announced that Mo Xiao had cultivated the Desolation Spell, which showed that the two were also prepared to fight for the position of the Family Head.


    "I originally thought that Seventh Sister and Sixth Brother were my biggest competitors, but who would have thought that Mo Xiao appeared out of nowhere."


    Mo Xiuqi said: "Other than Mo Xiao, there is hope for Mo Feng, Demon Mountain, and Mo Xun to be able to inherit the position of Family Head. I hope that your cultivation is currently the strongest, but you must not relax."


    There were many geniuses within the Mo Family and even though the Demon Abyss was the boss, they did not have absolute confidence in inheriting the position of the Family Head.


    After separating with Mo Yuner, Mo Xiao returned to her residence.


    "Father, I just saw the Seventh Sister and Sixth Brother. Their cultivation seems to have become even stronger."


    Mo Xiao said in a relaxed manner: "But Seventh Sister is surprised that I have learnt the Desolation Spell, seems like even Seventh Sister is a little afraid."


    The reason why he used Desolation Spell in front of Mo Yuner was to test him, it was obvious that even Mo Yuner was afraid of this technique, if that was the case, Mo Xiao could rest assured.


    However, after Mo Xie was killed, only Mo Yuner had good talent. Now that you have learned the Desolation Spell, your position in the Mo Family will rise, but don''t be careless, you will be suppressed by them before you break through the Martial Monarch Level realm. "


    In the Mo Family''s generation, the majority of them were at the Martial King, and only Mo Xiao was younger, so he was still at the Martial King Realm.


    Mo Xiao said confidently: "Don''t worry Father, I will definitely inherit the position of Family Head."


    After learning the Desolation Spell, Mo Xiao was indeed much more confident than before. After all, this kind of forbidden technique was even difficult to resist against Martial Monarch Level.


    "It''s good that you''re confident," Mo Hong waved her hand, bringing in a woman who was tied up. He looked at Mo Xiao and said, "Cultivate."


    Mo Xiao laughed and walked in front of one of the women and cut open her neck before biting down on it and drinking her blood. That woman screamed miserably, her face becoming even more bloodless, and in the end she was sucked into a dried up corpse. That was the condition of cultivating Desolation Spell, as she had to drink one woman''s blood every day.


    The moment Di Chen entered the Mo Family, he had already sensed how tense the atmosphere in the Mo Family was. In the past few days, he did not leave the room, but had always been cultivating. Now that Di Chen was a Martial King, and was at the fourth level of the King Wen, it was definitely not a problem for him to deal with people below the eighth level of the Martial King realm. However, if he encountered Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, it would be slightly dangerous.


    Of course, participating in the fighting ground was one thing. Di Chen was even more worried about Mo Xiao, since this fellow had already killed him once before. Di Chen had a feeling that he would still kill him.


    Di Chen then took out¡¶ On the Sky¡· and started to read. The power of the scholars was still increasing very quickly, the effect was obvious, but to break through to the fifth level of King Wen would need at least a month.


    Just reading was not enough, writing books was the best way to improve a scholar''s strength. Di Chen then took out a pen and paper and started to write on "On the Sky", he realised that when copying this book, a scholar''s power would increase even more, Di Chen thought that the easier it was to level up a scholar''s power, the stronger it was.


    Dong, dong, dong!


    At this time, a young lady pushed the door and entered. She was Mo Xun.


    When Mo Xun came in, she saw that Di Chen was copying books and there was already a thick stack of white paper on the table. Presumably, it was because Di Chen was too focused on copying, but he actually did not see Mo Xun. Mo Xun walked to Di Chen''s side and curiously sized him up.


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen also did not know how long he had copied it for, and he let out a long sigh.


    "How do you know how to copy books?" A girl''s voice came from the side.


    Di Chen turned around and saw Mo Xun smiling at him. He was shocked: "Who are you?"


    Mo Xun chuckled: "I am Mo Xun, and you are Seventh Sister''s junior brother. What''s your name?"


    "Di Chen..." Di Chen said casually, secretly thinking that he was too focused on reading that he did not notice her presence, it was too dangerous, after all, he was not in Famous Sword Academy.


    Mo Xun laughed: "Aren''t you a martial artist, why are you copying books here?"


    Di Chen made a copy of the book he wrote and laughed: "I''ve always loved to read since I was young. Just now, when I had nothing better to do, I just copied and played."


    Mo Xun had a strange look on her face: "You are truly a strange person, even warriors spend time to cultivate, but you waste your time copying the books, this is not good for cultivation."


    Di Chen thought that she still did not know that he was a literati, but Di Chen was too lazy to explain.


    Mo Xun chuckled: "You have been here for several days already, but you have never left your house. Let me bring you around."


    There were very few people Mo Xun''s peers in the Mo Family. Although Di Chen was a little older than her, she was still very interested in Di Chen as an outsider.


    Di Chen had a strange expression on his face as he asked, "How do you know that I have never left my house?"


    Mo Xun smiled mysteriously: "I heard that Seventh Sister brought an outsider here, so I''m a little curious. I wanted to come and take a look a long time ago, but Seventh Sister didn''t allow me to come see you.


    Di Chen thought that Mo Xun still did not know that she was being imprisoned here. He laughed: "You should leave.


    Mo Xun did not understand what Di Chen meant, and asked: "Why, what exactly are you and Seventh Sister doing?"


    Di Chen casually explained: "I might have misunderstood, I''m not your Seventh Sister''s guest, I was forcefully brought here by her. I want to enter the fighting ground after a period of time, whether or not I can survive is not certain."

 C204

    "What?" Mo Xun shouted: "Doesn''t that mean you''re a criminal in Mo Family?"


    Only prisoners in the Mo Family would choose to enter the fighting ground. Mo Xun originally thought that Di Chen was only Mo Yuner''s friend, but now it seems that it was not the case. It was just that she was curious, since Di Chen was brought back by Mo Xun, then why not lock him up and specially prepare a room for him.


    Di Chen laughed again: "Hurry up and leave this place, in case your Seventh Sister sees me, and think that I have ill intentions towards you."


    Mo Xun was not afraid at all, and replied disapprovingly: "I can see that you don''t have any Yuan Power in your body, so your strength is probably not strong. What do I need to be afraid of?"


    Di Chen could tell that Mo Xun only had the cultivation of Martial King six stages, this cultivation, Di Chen could defeat him with just her brute strength, he thought to himself that Mo Xun must be an inexperienced person, if not she would not have come here.


    "Right," Mo Xun changed the subject, "Can you help me capture a Snow demon and bring it back?"


    Di Chen asked doubtfully: "Your Mo Family is filled with experts, you can just look for your Seventh Sister, why do you need my help?"


    Mo Xun was unhappy: "My Seventh Sister is being too strict, she won''t let me out. Actually there are low levelled Snow demon outside too, it''s fine as long as I''m careful, can you help me?"


    Di Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head: "That won''t do, your Seventh Sister originally wanted to kill me, if you see me helping you catch the Snow demon again, he would definitely kill me, furthermore, this is the Tianshan''s Great Python, there are even Snow demon of the Demonic Lord on the outside, if we meet each other outside, we will definitely die."


    Di Chen had warned him not to walk around carelessly. If he went against her words, she would be the first one to kill Di Chen.


    "Why are you so cowardly, I''m not even afraid of you, let''s go, Seventh Sister will not find out."


    Mo Xun did not care whether Di Chen was willing or not, and pulled Di Chen along to leave, which made it difficult for Di Chen to refuse.


    When she walked out of the room, Mo Xun looked around like a thief. Seeing that no one was holding onto Di Chen, the two of them did not notice that not long after they left, Mo Xiao had also walked out, looking playfully at Di Chen and Mo Xun''s backs.


    Mo Xiao came to the front of a cell in the dungeon. Inside the prison, six people with Martial King Realm were locked up, and all of them revealed a look of hatred when they saw Mo Xiao.


    Mo Xiao looked at the crowd and said playfully: "I know that you all are not convinced by being locked up here, so I want to give you all a chance to leave.


    Mo Xiao had always been a sinister person, and no one would believe these words. They all looked at Mo Xiao in silence.


    "No one?" Mo Xiao said playfully: "There are a lot of people in this dungeon, if you guys don''t want to, I can find someone else. When the time comes, don''t say that I didn''t give you a chance."


    "What chance?" Just then, a man stood up, he was short and had an evil smile on his face, his name was Yu Qiu, originally a wandering cultivator, caught by Mo Family cultivators while they were cultivating, he was locked up here.


    Mo Xiao stared at Yu Qiu and laughed: "It''s simple, there are a man and a woman cultivating outside right now. If you can kill them all, I will let you go."


    Yu Qiu knew that this matter was definitely not simple, and said with a frown: "What realm?"


    Mo Xiao said: "One is a Martial King, and the other is a martial king without any soul force, so it can be ignored. You are also a martial king, I am afraid that you are going to have some difficulties."


    Hearing that it was only the Martial King six stages, two more people stood up and said: "We''ll go as well."


    On the left was a long-haired man named Ji Hai, with the six stages of a Martial King. On the right was Shan Yao, a seventh level Martial King.


    Mo Xiao slightly nodded: "Three people should be more than enough. If this thing goes smoothly, I will let you guys leave, come with me."


    Mo Xun and Di Chen arrived outside the palace. Outside, the snow was falling and the air was fresh, as far as the eye could see, but there was a trace of coldness. Mo Xun stretched her back and laughed: "We''re finally out.


    Di Chen asked her doubtfully: "Why do you want to capture Snow demon?"


    Mo Xun smiled mysteriously and said: "I cultivate an ice attribute cultivation technique, so you can lend me the Snow demon ''beast core."


    It was indeed better to use an ice attribute demonic beast''s beast core to cultivate an ice attribute cultivation technique, and Snow demon were the best amongst the ice attribute demonic beast. A beast core was most suitable for cultivation.


    Di Chen had a strange look on his face as he said, "But your Mo Family has many experts, if you want the Snow demon and demonic core, you don''t need to come out and kill them yourself right?"


    This Tianshan was filled with Snow demon. There were so many experts in the Mo Family that they could send any one of them to kill the Snow demon.


    Mo Xun curled her lips and said: "I want to do it myself. Let''s go. I know where there are low level Snow demon s."


    Mo Xun was a domineering and arrogant Girl, she did not like being taken care of by others, she had wanted to go down the mountain for a long time, but Mo Family did not agree, so she could only take a step back and secretly leave the palace to hunt Snow demon s. It was just that it was too dangerous to be alone.


    Di Chen thought that even though Mo Xun was born in the Mo Family, his personality was actually quite simple. With his personality, she would suffer a huge disadvantage in a clan like the Mo Family.


    Mo Xun brought Di Chen and headed in a certain direction. She knew where there were low level Snow demon, so she did not encounter any dangers along the way.


    "Xun Er," Mo Xiao''s voice suddenly came from afar, and beside him were Yu Qiu, Shan Yao and Xi Hai. The three of them could tell at first glance that Mo Xun and Di Chen were cultivations, hence they smiled at each other, since strength like this was nothing to them.


    When Mo Xun saw Mo Xiao, she was stunned at first, but then she happily exclaimed: "So it''s Tenth Brother, why are you here?"


    Mo Xiao laughed heartily and said: "I came to hunt Snow demon, I didn''t expect that you would also come out. I remember Ninth Uncle doesn''t allow you to come out, if Ninth Uncle knew you sneaked out, he would be angry again."


    Mo Xun laughed and said: "My father will not know. Tenth Brother, you must not tell my father."


    Mo Xiao nodded his head: "Since when did your Tenth Bro betray you, since we met, then let''s go together, it''s safer with more people."


    He then pulled Mo Xun away, ignoring Di Chen, as''s cultivation was not a threat to him at all.


    She trusted Mo Xiao a lot, and followed him. As if Di Chen didn''t exist, she no longer cared about him, and Yu Qiu and the other two followed behind him, while Di Chen was just at the back, frowning as he looked at their figures. He just felt that Mo Xun definitely had ill intentions towards them.


    After walking forward for half an hour, they saw many Snow demon roaming about in front of them. These Snow demon were all around the fifth stage of Demonic King, so they were not a threat to the group.


    "Let''s go," Mo Xiao said to Mo Xun as he rushed towards the Snow demon, Yu Qiu and the other two also went forward, Di Chen did not give it his all, he only used the brute strength to kill the Snow demon, he had to first observe their cultivation, luckily, they were not weak, and Di Chen did not have the confidence to fight all of them, he thought that it would be better to escape if he had the chance.


    "This is too slow," Mo Xiao said as he looked at Mo Xun, "Let''s separate. Xun Er, you and I will be together, Yu Qiu ¡­"


    He pointed to Di Chen and said: "You two come together."


    Di Chen knew what Mo Xun was thinking and hurriedly said, "I came out to help Mo Xun. Since you''re here, I don''t need you to help me anymore.


    After saying that, he prepared to leave. Although he might not kill Mo Xun, he knew that Mo Xiao would definitely kill him.


    Mo Xiao stopped Di Chen and laughed: "Why are you so anxious to return? Since you agreed to help Mo Xun to the end, Yu Qiu, accompany him to hunt Snow demon."


    "Alright," Yu Qiu nodded and stopped Di Chen from leaving.


    Mo Xun was completely confused. "Why would we not hunt Snow demon together? Why must we split up? I was the one who let Di Chen and I come out together.


    Mo Xiao pulled Mo Xun and left, laughing: "It''s alright, it''s faster to hunt Snow demon, Xun Er, it''s not easy to get you out, so stop wasting time, let''s go."


    Mo Xun still did not know the situation she was in, but when she wanted to speak again, Di Chen had already been pulled away by Yu Qiu. With Mo Xiao''s help, she did not say much and just left with Mo Xiao, Chili Hai and Shan Yao.


    Di Chen didn''t want to follow Yu Qiu, it was just that after Yu Qiu used his elemental energy, Di Chen actually had no way of resisting.


    Yu Qiu walked to a corner that had no people and stopped, then turned to look at Di Chen and said: "You probably know why Mo Xiao asked me to call you here alone, you don''t have to be afraid, it was just for a moment."


    Di Chen had a face full of worry initially, but it now revealed a relaxed expression. Facing Mo Xiao''s group of four, Di Chen did not have confidence, but now that Mo Xiao had allowed Yu Qiu to kill him alone, it was likely that Yu Qiu alone would not be able to kill Di Chen due to the fact that he did not have any Origin Energy.


    "You really shouldn''t have come alone to kill me," Di Chen said with a smile.


    Yu Qiu saw that Di Chen was suddenly no longer afraid, and frowned: "Could it be that you are confident that you can survive?"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "If I guess correctly, you should be someone who''s locked up in the dungeon. If Mo Xiao simply wants to kill me, he wouldn''t release the people in the dungeon, I think he definitely wants to kill Mo Xun."


    Yu Qiu said, "He''s a smart man. Although the two of us have no enmity between us, I have no choice but to kill you for freedom."


    Di Chen shook his head: "There''s no one here, you can leave. Why fight to the death with me?"


    Yu Qiu laughed: "Although there is no one here, leaving is easier said than done. Without the permission of the Mo Family, I will have no way to leave this Tianshan in this lifetime. I advise you to stop dreaming, but you won''t even have the chance to dream.


    As he spoke, he punched towards Di Chen. had the six stages of a Martial King and his strength was not weak.


    Di Chen did not dodge as he punched towards Yu Qiu. The two punches met with each other, completely using force.


    Yu Qiu''s bones creaked, his arms bent, and were broken by Di Chen. His entire body flew out, and in terms of strength, he was naturally not as strong as Di Chen.

 C205

    "His strength is that great?" Yu Qiu did not expect that a person without Origin Energy would possess such strength. He was slightly shocked but not afraid, "It seems that you have some strength. Since it''s like this, I can''t hold back any longer."


    Yu Qiu tapped on the center of his brows, and a large blade flew out. Yu Qiu slashed towards Di Chen with the large blade in his hand.


    "Sword martial soul?" Di Chen immediately took out two pieces of paper with the word "spear" written on it, the power of the scholars flowed inside, and two pikes shot out from the paper towards Yu Qiu.


    "What a strange cultivation technique." It was Yu Qiu''s first time seeing such a magical cultivation technique. He was secretly surprised, but he was not afraid. He held his broadsword and slashed down on one of the long spears.


    Clang!


    A clear and melodious sound came out, the blade martial soul gasped and dispersed, facing Di Chen''s spear, it could not even take a single blow.


    "What?" Yu Qiu''s expression changed, his own saber martial soul was actually so weak?


    A second spear shot out. This time, Yu Qiu had no way of defending against it. The spear went hollow in Yu Qiu''s body and flew away with him. He landed heavily on the ground, blood gushing out from his chest and staining the ground red.


    "Impossible ¡­" Yu Qiu had a look of disbelief on his face. Was this guy this strong? His head tilted and he died instantly.


    Although Di Chen was only at the fourth level of King Wen now, killing ordinary six stages was not difficult. It had to be known that so many wizard tower had lost to Di Chen in terms of cultivation, and this Yu Qiu did not even have the qualifications to enter them.


    Di Chen didn''t even look at Yu Qiu. He had originally wanted to go back, but he thought that Mo Xun might die if she went back. Even though he didn''t have anything to do with her, she knew that she would die, so he didn''t care that she was going too far.


    Mo Xiao brought Mo Xun and killed Snow demon along the way. This place was already very far from the Mo Family, so it was likely that no one would notice them even if they made a move here.


    Mo Xiao did not plan to do it himself, and said: "Xun Er, I will go over to take a look, wait for me here."


    Mo Xun didn''t notice Mo Xiao''s intentions in the slightest, and said with a puzzled face: "Brother Ten, where are you going? I''ll go with you."


    Mo Xiao laughed: "No need, I''ll come find you in a while, I''ll be leaving first."


    As he said that, he took a glance at Chili Hai and Shan Yao, then quickly left, not even giving Mo Xun a chance to speak. By the time Mo Xun managed to react, Mo Xiao was already long gone.


    "Tenth Brother is really strange," Mo Xun muttered, as she wanted to kill the Snow demon again. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a burst of killing intent, she turned her head and saw that Ba Hai''s punch was actually too sudden, causing Mo Xun to not be able to react at all, her chest was smashed, causing her entire body to fly out, rolling on the ground for over ten times, as she spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "What are you doing? Are you not afraid that my Tenth Brother will kill you?"


    Xiao Hai chuckled, "Why do you think your Tenth Brother brought you to such a remote place?"


    Mo Xun was startled when she heard this. Her face was filled with incredulity as she muttered, "Impossible ¡­"


    She had a good relationship with Mo Xiao, but how could she have thought that Mo Xiao would actually kill her?


    However, you can''t blame anyone else. I reckon that you are the only one in all of Mo Family who is this stupid, you, Sha Hai, kill him, and then we can leave this place. "


    The competition in the Mo Family was fierce, but because Mo Xun had never vied for the position of Family Head''s successor before and her age was rather young, she did not expect that the intimacy between the members of the clan was just a facade, which was why she was able to see it clearly.


    Mo Xun clenched her teeth and said: "Even if you kill my Mo Family, she will not let you off."


    "Your Mo Family wouldn''t know that we were the ones who did it, so we will leave after we kill you. Mo Xun, if you want to blame something, blame your Tenth Brother."


    As she said that, she took a step towards Mo Xun, violent spirit energy gushing out, ruthlessly smashing towards Mo Xun.


    Mo Xun had suffered too much from the previous punch, so she didn''t have the ability to resist at all.


    Right at that moment, a spear whizzed over, and just as Xiao Hai''s fist was about to hit Mo Xun, it penetrated his body and brought him flying, causing him to die on the spot.


    "Who?" Shan Yao was astonished. One strike was enough to kill Xiao Hai, this fellow was very strong.


    At this time, Di Chen slowly walked out, and the two of them were shocked when they saw Di Chen.


    "You''re not dead?" If Di Chen did not die, then that meant that Yu Qiu had already been killed. Was this fellow really that strong?


    Di Chen smiled and said: "If the three of you had come at me together, perhaps I would have been killed by you all. However, none of you are my match, you really shouldn''t have separated the two of us."


    In fact, if Mo Xiao had taken advantage of Mo Xun''s inattention to injure him earlier, if a few of them had teamed up to kill Di Chen, he would definitely be dead. However, Mo Xiao did not want to do it himself.


    Shan Yao quickly regained her composure and sneered. "Do you really think that you can kill me just by killing Yu Qiu and Xihai? Since I dared to come and kill you, I naturally have the confidence to do so. I''d like to see how strong you are."


    Shan Yao leaped forward as Yuan Power gushed into his fist. His fist viciously flew forward as Yuan Power transformed into a white tiger''s roar.


    "Seventh level of the Martial King realm?" Di Chen could tell that Shan Yao was the strongest, and that a scholar would not be able to withstand this punch. Seems like he had no choice but to use brute strength, and hastily used his fist to clash with the white tiger.


    Bang!


    When the scorching energy hit the white tiger''s body, the white tiger''s body started to distort, and then it broke apart with a cry. Di Chen''s realm was at the Martial King six stages, and the heat in his body could dissipate Origin Energy, so seventh stage martial kings like Di Chen were completely unable to harm him.


    "fire cultivation technique?" Shan Yao could feel a blazing aura, but she could not feel any fluctuations of Di Chen''s elemental energy at all.


    This time, he finally realized the terrifying nature of Di Chen. Pointing to the center of his brows, a demonic snake came out from between his eyebrows and bit towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen did not dodge and rushed towards Shan Yao. At the same time, the power of the scholar surged out and shouted the word ''stop'', but the demonic snake that was rushing towards Di Chen was suddenly frozen, as if it was a statue.


    Di Chen''s fist struck the Spirit Demon Snake''s body, causing the Spirit Demon snake to dissipate too, even the martial soul could not withstand Di Chen''s attack.


    "My martial soul," Shan Yao''s face changed. He originally thought that the martial soul could kill the other party, but in the end, it still couldn''t withstand a single blow. How could he dare to stay behind?


    Di Chen casually wrote the word spear, the spear pierced through Shan Yao and easily killed him. The entire battle did not even take a minute.


    "How are you?" Di Chen then helped Mo Xun up.


    Mo Xun exclaimed: "Even though I''m injured internally, I''ll be fine after consuming some pills. Di Chen, how are you so powerful?


    Di Chen laughed: "Martial King six stages."


    He did not have a room to say that he was a literati.


    Mo Xun did not dare believe it: "I am also a Martial King, but it is definitely impossible for me to kill them so easily. Also, your cultivation technique is too strange, there are no signs of spirit energy fluctuations at all."


    Di Chen laughed, he did not know how to explain it to Mo Xun, so he decided to not speak. Mo Xun''s injuries were heavier, he was unable to leave, so Di Chen carried her and left.


    Mo Xun laid her head on Di Chen''s shoulder. She became angry whenever she thought about how Mo Xiao wanted to kill her, and she said angrily, "I will definitely not let Mo Xiao off when I return."


    Di Chen stopped and seriously reminded: "No one else knows about this matter, so even if you were to spread it, no one will believe you. Instead, it will cause conflicts between your father and others.


    Although Di Chen was not completely clear about the situation in the Mo Family, but he could guess why Mo Xiao wanted to kill Mo Xun. The Mo Family was probably divided into several factions, Mo Xiao and Mo Xun were not from the same faction, but Mo Xun was young, and did not realise this fact.


    Mo Xun didn''t understand and asked: "Why? If second uncle knows, he will definitely help me."


    Di Chen said: "Your relationship with Mo Yuner is not bad, you can tell her, I believe she will stop you from saying it."


    Mo Xun hesitated, she was not convinced, but she also felt that Di Chen''s words were reasonable, and thought that it would be better to tell Mo Yuner about this first, and see what she had to say.


    Mo Xun suddenly thought of something and asked: "Di Chen, you said that my Seventh Sister might kill you, what is going on?"


    Of course, Di Chen would not tell the truth, and said calmly: "I only have some grudges with her, your Seventh Sister and Sixth Brother are both determined to kill me, it''s just that I might have some value in using them, so I won''t kill them for now.


    Mo Xun let out a cry, and seemed to be a little unwilling to let it go, and said after hesitating for a while: "Since my big sister wants to kill you, then leave now."


    Di Chen laughed, thinking that Mo Xun was still rather kind, he shook his head and said: "I still have a friend here, I cannot leave her alone, furthermore this Tianshan is dangerous, I cannot leave, furthermore, if you let me go, am I not afraid your Seventh Sister will cause trouble for you?"


    There were many Snow demon in this Tianshan, and many of them were Demon Emperor s. It would be difficult to go down the mountain without Martial King.


    Mo Xun curled her lips and said: "My Seventh Sister treats me well, she wouldn''t blame me."


    She thought for a moment and said, "It''s fine if you don''t leave, but I''ll help you ask Seventh Sister for mercy. Seventh Sister loves me so much, so she will definitely let you off on my account."


    Di Chen thought, but did not say anything, he knew that even if she let him off, he would not let her off, and he would never forget about her killing Qin Er.


    Mo Xun also knew that she was being naive, but after being saved by Di Chen today, she really did not want Di Chen to die, and thought that she had to beg Seventh Sister for help when she return.


    Di Chen thought that this Mo Xun really was an innocent girl. Someone like her was not suitable to live in a clan like the Mo Family.

 C206

    "Yun''er, have you seen Xun Er?" A middle aged man walked into Mo Yuner''s room. This middle-aged man was Mo Xun''s father, Mo Xin. He was ranked ninth in his generation.


    Mo Yuner shook her head: "She did come here before, and not only did she not stay for long, she left."


    She then looked at a servant girl beside her and asked, "Have you seen Xun Er before?"


    The maidservant shook her head and said, "I think I saw Miss Eleven leave with an unfamiliar young man. It seems to be the person you brought back."


    Mo Yuner was startled when she heard this, she suddenly remembered that Mo Xun always asked her who the two people she brought back were. She seemed to be very curious, Mo Yuner only casually dealt with it, but Mo Xun''s curiosity had always been heavy, and she probably went to find him when she wasn''t paying attention.


    Mo Yuner quickly got up and left, while Mo Xin also followed. The two arrived at Di Chen''s room, but Di Chen was no longer in his room.


    Mo Yuner frowned, she was not worried that Di Chen would escape, although she allowed Di Chen to enter and exit freely, but she did not allow Zi Yan to enter and exit freely either, thus, Di Chen was not able to save her so he would naturally not escape either.


    Mo Xin saw that Mo Yuner''s reaction was a little strange and asked, "Yun''er, who is this youth?"


    Mo Yuner explained: "He is a student of the Famous Sword Academy, and because he killed my Mo Family, I caught him. Father saw that he was showing himself, and so he wanted him to enter the fighting ground.


    "What?" Hearing this, Mo Xin''s face changed as he anxiously said, "This kind of person must be very dangerous. How can you arrange a room for him so that he won''t be locked in the dungeon? Damn it, isn''t Xun Er very dangerous?"


    He had already killed a member of the Mo Family, so naturally he wouldn''t mind killing another Mo Xun. Mo Xin was also a little angry, but this kind of person actually allowed him to enter and leave the Mo Family freely?


    Mo Yuner waved her hand and said: "Ninth Uncle need not worry, he is not a bloodthirsty person. Xun Er''s personality is simple, he will not harm her."


    Although Di Chen had killed many people, he was still a kind person and would not kill people for no reason. Mo Yuner believed that Di Chen would not kill the temperamental and simple Mo Xun and the only person he wanted to kill in the entire Mo Family was himself.


    Seeing that Mo Yuner was sure, Mo Xin heaved a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "Xun Er is too reckless, how can she leave with a stranger, when I find her, I will definitely imprison her."


    He also knew Mo Xun''s character, she had probably secretly pulled that person to hunt for Snow demon, who would definitely run out to look for him, even if Di Chen would not harm her, the Snow demon were still very dangerous, the two of them just went out and saw Di Chen carrying Mo Xun on her back as she walked back, it looks like Mo Xun''s injuries were not light.


    "Xun Er, how are you?"


    Mo Xun climbed down from Di Chen''s back and shook his head. "I''m fine.


    Mo Yuner said angrily: "Xun Er, I already said that you are not to get close to him. Why didn''t you listen to me and left with him without permission?"


    Then, he looked at Di Chen and said angrily: "Di Chen, I told you not to walk around the Mo Family casually, yet you secretly went out with Mo Xun. Do you really think I won''t kill you?"


    In fact, Mo Yuner would never let her guard down when it came to matters concerning him, she could not tolerate Di Chen and Mo Xun sneaking out.


    Di Chen didn''t even want to bother with him. Seeing that Mo Yuner really wanted to kill Di Chen, Mo Xun immediately defended him: "Seventh Sister, this isn''t related to Di Chen. I forced him to go with me.


    "Xun Er, what''s going on?"


    Mo Xun originally did not want to say it, but she could not resist and said angrily: "Mo Xiao had released a few prisoners from the prison to ambush me, I was almost killed by them."


    "What?" "You just stay away from him, okay?"


    The competition in the Mo Family was extremely intense, and Mo Xiao was even a sinister person. It just so happened that Mo Xun was simple, did not know the depths of the Mo Family, and was easily at a disadvantage. Mo Xin thought that if Mo Xun did not inherit the Family Head''s heart, no one would harm her.


    Mo Xun was not convinced: "Father, this matter cannot be let go like this."


    "Xun Er, the situation in Mo Family is very complicated. You still don''t understand, but since you have nothing to do, let''s forget about it for now. Don''t tell anyone else, do you understand?"


    Mo Xun was startled, her words were the same as what Di Chen had said just now. Although she was not convinced, but she knew that their relationship was complicated, so she nodded in agreement.


    Mo Xin looked at Di Chen and said: "Xun Er is not sensible, thank you for saving me."


    Di Chen casually laughed: "It''s nothing."


    It was said so easily, I can see that the few people that Mo Xiao had brought were not Di Chen''s match, this made Mo Xin a little surprised, he could not tell what realm Di Chen was in, but he did not think that Di Chen had such strength, and was even stronger than Mo Xun.


    Mo Xin had a good impression of Di Chen, and scolded him: "Stay in your hut and cultivate during this time, you are not allowed to go anywhere else, come back with me."


    Mo Xun could tell that Mo Xin was truly angry this time. Lowering his head, he gave an honest "oh", then looked at Di Chen and giggled: "Di Chen, I''ll be going back. I''ll come look for you in a while."


    She also knew that she couldn''t leave during this period of time, so she talked for a while. But how could she say this in front of Mo Xin? It really made him at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.


    Di Chen laughed, thinking that maybe, after a while, he would still be alive.


    Mo Yuner raised her eyebrows, and waited for Mo Xun to walk far away before saying: "It seems like Xun Er likes you quite a bit."


    Di Chen said calmly: "It is probably because I saved her life. She is a citizen of Mo Family, but she is so simple and innocent.


    Di Chen had always heard that the people of the Mo Family were born with a cruel personality, the Five Generals of the Mo Family had completely allowed him to witness the degree of cruelty, but he never thought that there would be someone like Mo Xun, who was incompatible with the overall atmosphere of the Mo Family.


    Mo Yuner said: "She is still young, but I suggest you not to get too close with her. Her relationship with Mo Qing is very good, Mo Qing died by your hands, what will happen if she finds out what you say?"


    Di Chen was startled, but he did not care. He never planned to get to know Mo Xun better, and this Martial Region Continent had a lot of people who wanted to kill him, so he did not care about this Mo Xun.


    "Let''s go," Although Mo Yuner was secretly angry at Di Chen for coming out with him, but at the same time, she was comforted. If it was not for Di Chen, Mo Xun would definitely have been killed by Mo Xiao.


    Just as the two of them entered the house, they saw Mo Xiao again. Mo Xiao was slightly startled when he saw him, but this Di Chen did not die meant that Mo Xun was not dead either. Yu Qiu and the rest should have died.


    When Di Chen passed by, he stopped and looked at Mo Xiao: "Your luck is really good."


    Mo Xiao did not understand what Di Chen meant, and frowned: "What do you mean?"


    Di Chen laughed: "You thought that the three of them would be able to kill us, so you did not participate. If you were to participate, then you would be the same as them, that''s why I said your luck is good."


    The other meaning of his words was that if Mo Xiao was also present at that time, he would also have been killed. This was clearly showing that he looked down on Mo Xiao.


    Mo Xiao squinted his eyes and said coldly: "What an arrogant guy, I hope you can maintain this kind of confidence in yourself to the fighting ground."


    He was saying that he did not kill Mo Xun, but he was not worried at all. After learning the Desolation Spell, it would be easy to kill them.


    Mo Yuner frowned: "Why did you purposefully anger him? Do you know that if you do this, he will definitely think of a way to kill you?"


    Di Chen said indifferently: "People like him are always proud, if I fail, I have to think of a way to succeed, so no matter if I provoke him or not, he will still kill me."


    Mo Yuner reminded him, "His Desolation Spell can kill people without them noticing. Although you have the [Serenity formula] blocking it, you must not be careless ¡­"


    Mo Yuner stopped talking before she could finish, thinking to herself, what does Di Chen''s life and death have to do with me, why should I remind him to be careful?


    The two of them returned to the house without saying a word.


    "During this period of time, you will stay here and cultivate properly, don''t walk around casually, in a few days you will enter the fighting ground, don''t die before that day comes."


    Mo Yuner reminded her seriously, thinking that since Di Chen offended Mo Xiao earlier, with his personality, he would think of ways to kill him.


    Di Chen said calmly: "You don''t have to worry about me. Just take care of Zi Yan."


    Mo Yuner said: "Before you die, Zi Yan will be fine."


    Mo Xiuwen still valued Di Chen greatly. Zi Yan would not have died if he had not, but if Di Chen did not have any value in using him, there was naturally no need for Zi Yan to exist.


    After Mo Yuner left, she went back to the Main Palace to find Mo Xiuwen and recount what had happened.


    Mo Xiuwen was furious when he heard it: "This Mo Xiao is too bold, he actually dares to kill Mo Xun."


    Although Mo Xiuwen was angry, but he was not in a position to blame to Mo Xiao. After all, he had trained in the Desolation Spell, so it was a forbidden technique of the Mo Family, and there were many people supporting him in the Mo Family.


    Mo Yuner said in a low voice: "This Mo Xiao is indeed going more and more overboard. Right now he is only in Martial King Realm, once he cultivates to this level he will inevitably become a threat to us too. It would be good if he died."


    Hearing that, Mo Xiuwen was startled, and immediately said: "Yun''er, don''t act recklessly, Mo Family values him very much now, if you kill him, even the elders of Mo Family will not let you off."


    In fact, since the Mo Family found out that Mo Xiao had cultivated a forbidden technique, there were already many people supporting him to succeed the position of the next Family Head, it could be said that Mo Xiao''s current position was even higher than some elders.


    Of course, Mo Yuner would not be foolish enough to kill him, the consequences would be unthinkable to be discovered, she only felt that it would be great if Mo Xiao could be killed without a sound, but she could not do this, because she suddenly thought of Di Chen, who could kill Mo Xiao without a sound. The thought was immediately suppressed by her, she could not advise Di Chen to kill Mo Xiao, even though she wanted to do so.

 C207

    Mo Xun was injured, yet Di Chen was still fine. It was clear that Di Chen had saved him, which was outside of his expectations, but this aroused''s desire to kill Di Chen. Although the other party had killed the three of them, the three of them were not considered much to Mo Xiao, so she decided to tell Mo Xiao about this matter after she returned.


    When Mo Hong heard that Mo Xiao was actually going to kill Mo Xun, she frowned: "Although since you learnt the Desolation Spell, the Mo Family has supported me more, but you cannot be rash, luckily Mo Xun did not die this time, otherwise, you would probably be in big trouble."


    Family competition was very normal, but they couldn''t do anything too excessive either. Killing people was simply too serious, even if Mo Xiao had more people supporting him, it would still be governed by family rules, furthermore, Mo Xiao was not considered to be hidden, so it was easy to find out.


    Mo Xiao originally thought that killing Mo Xun was nothing, and only now did he realize that he had overestimated himself. But he didn''t mind as he said: "I will definitely take note of it in the future.


    "Di Chen?" Mo Hong had never heard of this name before. She was slightly stunned as she asked, "Who is this person?"


    Mo Xiao said: "The person was brought back by Seventh Sister, he should be a Martial King Realm Ranker, but the relationship is very complicated, I accidentally understood it too."


    Mo Hong was even more surprised, thinking that Mo Yuner was a Martial Monarch Level Ranker, why did she bring a Martial King back?


    "Don''t worry about them for now. Just cultivate properly during this period of time, grasp the Desolation Spell as soon as possible and break through the Martial Monarch Level. That way, we can have a foothold in the Mo Family."


    Therefore, he kept a low profile in the Mo Family and trained Mo Xiao wholeheartedly. Now that Mo Xiao finally had a place in the Mo Family with the Desolation Spell, he naturally had to grasp it well.


    The fact that Mo Xiao tried to assassinate Mo Xun could not be hidden, and very quickly, everyone in Mo Family knew of it. However, because Mo Xun was not dead yet, almost everyone opened their eyes and closed them, without saying a word, as if it had never happened.


    In just a few days, he had already broken through to the fifth level of King Wen. Although this kind of strength was still not enough to protect his life in fighting ground, at the very least, there was one more strand of hope.


    "Currently, my most powerful skill is the Spear Arts. However, the current might of the Spear Arts is barely able to kill a Martial King."


    Di Chen thought that although the Spear Arts was able to kill Martial Kings and six stages cultivators, they were all normal Wu V, and their power could no longer compare to Di Chen''s realm. After all, Di Chen had to be a formula that cultivated even more powerful than him.


    Di Chen took out the Heavenly Letter Scripture. To cultivate to his level, many formula could actually cultivate it, but there were some that were useless.


    "Hmm? Blast Character Formula? " Di Chen noticed that the Blast Character Formula was similar to the Broken formula that he had cultivated in the past. It could be said to be a version of its power, the power was very strong, and it was also a large scale attack technique.


    After making up his mind, Di Chen started cultivating his Blast Character Formula. His cultivation method was similar to before, and he also used the power of a scholar to write explosive characters.


    Di Chen took out a brush and dipped it in ink. The power of the scholars gushed out, the first stroke was not difficult, the second stroke could also be written easily, but the third stroke was more difficult.


    Bang!


    However, just as the third stroke was completed, the Blast Character Formula suddenly exploded, directly blowing Di Chen away, causing his flesh to be blown away, with blood flowing out. It was as though the power of the explosion was not strong, and Di Chen was only injured from the explosion.


    "What''s going on?" Di Chen was surprised, the Blast Character Formula was not finished yet, but it had self-destructed, it was similar to the backlash from spells, but this did not happen even when he was training the Spear Arts previously.


    This time, he was more careful. When he finished writing the third stroke, the word explosion did not explode, but when he finished writing the fourth stroke, it suddenly exploded, and its power was a little stronger than before.


    "This Blast Character Formula is too difficult to control. If I''m not careful, it will explode, and the more completed the formula, the more powerful it will become."


    Di Chen never thought that cultivating the Blast Character Formula would be this dangerous, so he was even more careful. He slightly discovered that when he was unable to control his spirit energy, he would stop, but there were still quite a few times where the Blast Character Formula would explode, but fortunately, Di Chen was not life-threatening.


    When writing with the power of a scholar, one had to maintain a smooth and uninterrupted process. This required a precise control of the power of a scholar, and this was also the most dangerous part.


    Two days later!


    This was the last line of the word explosion. Di Chen carefully wrote it.


    Bang!


    The Blast Character Formula exploded once again, and this time, one of Di Chen''s arm was snapped off. Luckily Di Chen had dodged very quickly, otherwise, he would have been killed by the explosion this time, but the power was not small either. The entire room was blown up, and the interior was a mess.


    Di Chen was in a sorry state from the explosion, he then said in fear: "Although the power of the Blast Character Formula is strong, it is truly dangerous to cultivate it, I already knew that I should have waited until I broke through King Wen''s six stages before cultivating it."


    The control of a scholar''s power at the fifth level of King Wen was still not enough to cultivate the Blast Character Formula. In fact, Di Chen had to force himself to cultivate it, if not for the fact that he would be cultivating it in a few days time.


    Squeak!


    Just then, the door opened, and Mo Yuner rushed in anxiously. She saw Mo''er sitting on the ground, one of her arm broken, fresh blood flowing out, the interior of the house looked like ruins.


    "What''s going on?" Mo Yuner said: Someone has come to kill you?


    Di Chen propped himself up from the ground and shook his head: "Nothing, I was cultivating just now, it''s just that my cultivation technique was too powerful, I accidentally suffered a backlash and almost died from the explosion."


    Mo Yuner thought that Mo Xiao was here to kill Di Chen, and said snappily: "I told you to cultivate here, but I didn''t tell you to destroy this place, can''t you be more careful?"


    But coming back to this, Mo Yuner was a little shocked, just what kind of technique was Di Chen training in that had such power?


    This matter was after all Di Chen''s fault, so it wasn''t good for him to defend himself. Seeing that Di Chen''s injuries were so heavy, Mo Yuner didn''t have the mood to scold him and said: "I''ll give you another room.


    After changing into another room, Di Chen first recovered from his injuries, then continued to cultivate. This time, Di Chen was even more careful, but Blast Character Formula would still explode, and almost kill him several times. Furthermore, the room was blown up by Di Chen, so Mo Yuner could only change the room to her room again, but following that, Di Chen would still blow up the room.


    After changing five or six rooms with Di Chen in a row, Di Chen finally learned the Blast Character Formula, but he still had to be careful when using it, otherwise, even Di Chen himself would be affected.


    Di Chen secretly analyzed the power of the Blast Character Formula. With his current strength, it should be more than enough to deal with a martial king at the eighth level of the realm. However, it was still a bit dangerous when facing off against Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm practitioners.


    Another five days passed!


    Squeak!


    Di Chen did not know how long he cultivated for, but he pushed open the door and entered. She looked at Di Chen and said: "Time is up, today is the day you enter fighting ground."


    Di Chen was startled, for a period of time, he had been immersed in training, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly, it was a pity that during this period of time, Di Chen''s cultivation level also increased, and his cultivation level had not improved.


    Mo Yuner brought Di Chen to fighting ground, who had the appearance of an ancient battlefield, surrounded by steps, and on the steps sat the people of the Mo Family. Although Di Chen had been in the Mo Family for a few days, it was his first time seeing these people, and they all gave off a strong Qi. With so many powerful experts here, Di Chen thought that it was no wonder that the Mo Family caused the people of Youzhou to feel threatened.


    At this time, the fighting ground was engaged in battle, and no one noticed Di Chen and Mo Yuner. Mo Yuner had brought Di Chen to a corner, where Zi Yan and Mo Feng were currently.


    Zi Yan had not seen Di Chen since he entered the Mo Family, and seeing someone familiar, he was finally excited as he ran over.


    Seeing that Zi Yan was extremely weak and haggard, Di Chen frowned: "Zi Yan, they didn''t do anything to you right?"


    Zi Yan shook his head: "No, it''s just that I''ve been locked in my room for the past few days, so I''m a little worried about you."


    Di Chen noticed that there was no improvement in Zi Yan''s cultivation, it seemed that he was still sad about Bai Qian''s death. He did not know how to comfort Zi Yan and mumbled softly, "I''m fine, you will be fine too."


    Mo Feng replied in a playful manner, "Di Chen, I heard from Yun''er that you have cultivated a rather strong cultivation technique during this period of time.


    Although Di Chen had cultivated the Blast Character Formula, he was not 100% confident and ignored Mo Feng.


    "Seventh Sister, Sixth Brother," At this time, Mo Xun jogged over again. She noticed Di Chen was being controlled by him, and said unhappily: "Seventh Sister, you really want to force Di Chen to enter the fighting ground, I think it''s better if you don''t."


    Last time, Di Chen saved her life, she really didn''t want Di Chen to die.


    Mo Yuner said in a serious tone: "Xun Er, this is different from what you imagined. Di Chen has to enter the fighting ground, if she can survive, I will spare his life, if his strength is insufficient, I will die in the fighting ground."


    Mo Xun said: "But this fighting ground is exceptionally dangerous, not many can survive. What exactly did Di Chen do? Why are you forcing him like this?"


    Mo Feng said in a serious tone: "You don''t need to worry about that matter."


    Mo Xun was a little afraid of Mo Feng, and after hearing his words, she did not dare to say anymore.


    Mo Yuner did not know how to explain to Mo Xun that although Di Chen had killed the Mo Family''s Five Generals, even though he deserved to die, his cultivation was not weak, and was still of value to him.


    Di Chen didn''t care though. He had never planned to leave the Mo Family alive after entering it, so he was lucky to still have such a chance to survive. Furthermore, it wasn''t as if Di Chen had no confidence at all.

 C208

    Di Chen calmly stood beside the fighting ground, while Zi Yan snuggled close to him. At this time, a few profound practitioners were sent into the fighting ground, and the realms of these people ranged from the first stage of Martial King to the ninth stage, and there were many strong practitioners amongst them. At this time, the four directions of the fighting ground all opened a metal door, and Demon Emperor s walked out, these Demon Emperor s were also from the first to ninth stage, and their numbers were three times more than the humans.


    The fighting ground screamed as the warriors were torn into pieces.


    Zi Yan didn''t even have the heart to look again. He turned around and said, "Di Chen, this is too dangerous. Don''t go."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly, he then realized that the fighting ground was actually so terrifying, but he did not have a choice.


    A short while later, the battle of Martial King ended and not a single warrior survived.


    "Di Chen, let''s go. It''s time for the Martial King Realm." After Mo Yuner finished, he pulled Di Chen and left.


    "Di Chen..." Zi Yan grabbed onto Di Chen and did not let go, she was truly afraid that Di Chen would die in fighting ground.


    Di Chen laughed: "Don''t worry, I won''t die that easily."


    Mo Yuner slapped away Zi Yan''s hand and pulled Di Chen over to the vicinity of fighting ground. There were already seven to eight Martial Kings waiting here, ranging from the first to the ninth stage. Some of them were even stronger than Di Chen, but it was obvious that most of them did not have any confidence.


    "Remember, if you die, Zi Yan dies." Mo Yuner reminded them seriously, and without waiting for Di Chen''s reply, he left the fighting ground, leaving everyone behind to wait.


    Mo Yuner returned to Mo Xiuwen''s side and asked: "Has his cultivation level increased in the past two days?"


    Mo Yuner pondered: "Two days ago, he was practicing a very dangerous cultivation technique, and even he herself almost died under it, but she finally learnt it, so I think the chances of him surviving are high."


    Mo Xiuwen said in satisfaction: "There are very few literati s, and this Di Chen seems to have good innate talent.


    Mo Yuner also agreed to it, otherwise, she wouldn''t have brought Di Chen back. However, there was another problem, she had killed Qin Er before, and Di Chen had a good relationship with her. She hated herself for doing this, so leaving him behind was actually also a danger.


    After a while, the fighting ground was cleaned up and Di Chen and the rest were sent to the fighting ground. The warriors with Martial King Realm seemed to be unable to attract other people''s attention and many people left.


    "Father, that''s the person Seventh Sister brought back."


    Mo Xiao pointed at Di Chen and said: "Earlier, he was the one who saved Mo Xun. I think he is at least at the seventh level of the Martial King realm."


    "Hmm?" Mo Hong squinted her eyes and sized Di Chen up. He did not feel any elemental energy from Di Chen and could not help but feel strange, this kind of person could not be underestimated.


    Di Chen and the rest entered the fighting ground.


    "I believe that there will be a lot of Demonic King s in a while, if we do not join hands, I am afraid we will be in deep trouble."


    A long haired man looked at the crowd and said, "The reason that all those Martial King died was because they fought on their own. If we died like this, we wouldn''t have been able to escape death."


    This person was an expert from the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, Sima Chang Ting. Upon hearing his words, the others also agreed.


    Sima Chang Ting looked around and thought for a while before saying, "Come here with those who are Martial Kings and above. Don''t trouble those who are under the fifth level."


    A few people immediately walked over and formed a circle. These people were all Martial Kings and above. Some lower leveled people also wanted to go, but they were reprimanded by Sima Chang Ting.


    "Isn''t this way too much? Don''t tell me you want to watch us die?"


    "That''s right. Although we are not at the fifth level of the Martial King realm, we are confident in dealing with low level demonic beast."


    Sima Chang Ting was too lazy to pay attention to them. When the fifth level and above Martial Kings shouted at them to return, the lower level people were unwilling to accept it, but they did not dare to approach because they already had the intent to kill. They could only retreat to the side and form a circle.


    After Di Chen thought about it, he also walked towards Sima Chang Ting. After all, he had the strength to be safe with them.


    When Sima Chang Ting glanced at Di Chen and saw that there was not a single bit of elemental energy in his body, he immediately berated him, "I told you before, you''re at the fifth level of the Martial King realm. You don''t have any elemental energy in your body, so you can''t even be considered a martial artist.


    Di Chen said in a daze, "Although I am not a martial artist in the traditional sense, I still have a cultivation at the fifth stage of the Martial King realm. I should be able to help you guys."


    "With just you? We don''t need any trash here, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise don''t blame us for being impolite. "


    A few of the people were overflowing with killing intent, they were not prepared to let Di Chen into their little circle. Di Chen could only retreat and prepare to join the low level warriors, but before he could enter, he was reprimanded again. went forward and prepared to kill his face, which left Di Chen with no choice but to retreat to the side.


    The entire fighting ground was divided into three factions. One of them was a martial artist at the fifth stage of the Martial King realm and the other was a martial artist at the fifth stage and above. Di Chen, on the other hand, stood alone at the corner like a fool.


    "Who is this guy? How did he enter the fighting ground without any soul force?"


    Anyone who was caught by the Mo Family all had a certain amount of strength, and anyone without strength would be killed instantly. However, no matter how one looked at it, this person did not seem like a strong person.


    Seeing that, the spectators were speechless. They looked at Di Chen in ridicule, and were rejected by the crowd. Seems like this fellow was very weak.


    Mo Xiuwen laughed: "It seems that he will have to rely on himself this time."


    Mo Yuner taunted: "This group of idiots, I originally thought that a few of them would be able to survive, but now it seems that all of them will die here."


    If they couldn''t even see through Di Chen''s strength, then these guys really didn''t have any reason to live.


    Just at this moment, Mo Yuner suddenly saw a frail little Girl walk towards Di Chen. This little Girl was around fourteen to fifteen years old, was around the same age as Mo Yuner, and his cultivation was at the first level of the Martial King realm. Yet, she was not together with the other low level Martial Kings, but was together with Di Chen instead?


    Mo Yuner was immediately curious about this little Girl, and thought that she would choose Di Chen for a reason. If she could survive, she would have to investigate her identity.


    "Has she gone silly? With someone who doesn''t have soul force, could he be stronger than all the other low level martial artists combined?"


    "I can see that she isn''t weak either. She must have been ostracized by others."


    No one knew how strong Di Chen was, they only thought that the little Girl''s actions were foolish. Giving up on so many warriors, with a person who didn''t have any soul force, you still want to live in the fighting ground?


    Of course, this was only the views of the young generation. The elders did not think this way, as those who could enter the fighting ground would not be weak, so there must be something special about this fellow.


    Di Chen never thought that he would not even have someone to take him in. He could only stand at the side, and at this moment, a small Girl walked over.


    "Can I come with you?" The little Girl asked timidly. Her voice was very soft and weak, showing his helplessness.


    Di Chen was startled for a moment: "It can be, but my strength is not weak either, it is too dangerous for you to be together with me, have you really decided?"


    The little Girl replied, "I feel that those people have malicious intents and they want to use me as bait. I feel that I should stay safe with you. My senses are very sharp, there''s no mistake about it."


    Of course, Di Chen could tell that those low level warriors were not good people either, they would not protect anyone else, if they really met with danger, this Girl, who was the weakest, would probably be the first to die, she was clever.


    Di Chen laughed: "Alright, then the two of us will deal with those demonic beast s together, my name is Di Chen, what''s your name?"


    The little Girl whispered, "My name is A Cai."


    Di Chen thought that there must be a reason why the Mo Family would grab A Cai, but he did not have time to ask. Right at this moment, the surrounding doors opened, and Demonic King s rushed out one after another.


    "So many?" Even if Di Chen saw this, his expression would still change. With his current cultivation, he would barely be able to handle a level nine Demonic King, but this place had at least five level nine Demonic King s.


    When the demonic beast came out, it rushed towards the group and attacked them, causing them to be scattered all over the place. The low level warriors were immediately swallowed, releasing many screams, Di Chen was the lucky one, and hid in a corner with A Cai, to attack the weaker demonic beast, but they did not cause too much damage, and barely managed to preserve their lives. However, this battle was completely one-sided and only three people were left in the fighting ground, and among them was the strongest, Sima Chang Ting.


    "So strong?" Si Chang Ting''s complexion changed. He originally thought he could hold on for at least a few minutes, but in just a few seconds, everyone else was swallowed?


    The demonic beast surrounded A''cai, Di Chen and Sima Chang Ting, closing in step by step. Among them, there were five Demonic King s at the ninth rank.


    A Cai hid behind Di Chen, and said fearfully: "Di Chen, what do we do?"


    Di Chen never thought that these people would be so weak that they would only be able to kill a few low levelled Demonic King. Facing the remaining demonic beast, he did not have any confidence, but he comforted them anyway: "Don''t be afraid."


    At this time, all the demonic beast roared and pounced towards Di Chen and the other two.


    "Aren''t these guys too weak? This is the first time I''ve seen such a weak martial artist." He originally thought that it would be a good show, but in the end, these people died too quickly. Now, there was only a martial artist at the ninth level of the Martial King realm left, a martial artist at the first level of the Martial King realm, and a martial artist at the first level who did not have any Origin Energy. From the battle just now, it could be assumed that they were only at the fifth level of the Martial King realm.


    Some people left in a bored manner, as if they had already seen the outcome.

 C209

    "Explode!" Di Chen looked around, and took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it. The power of the scholar poured into it, with both hands forming seals, the word "explode" shone, and then with a loud explosion, the entire fighting ground shook.


    The demonic beast s in the center of the explosion were blown into pieces, and pieces of their limbs fell to the ground. Only two of the Level 9 demonic beast were left alive, a Demon Snake and a Demon Rat.


    "So strong?" Some people were originally prepared to leave, but just as they left, they heard an explosion. When they turned around, they saw that the demonic beast were almost all dead, and the ground was littered with corpses.


    "What cultivation technique did this fellow execute just now? Why is his power so strong?"


    "To be able to kill that many demonic beast in one go, could he also be using Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm?"


    Everyone exclaimed. Just now, so many warriors were instantly killed, but this guy actually killed so many demonic beast?


    Mo Feng said in astonishment, "Yun''er, I presume this is the cultivation technique Di Chen has been cultivating for some time. It''s power is so great."


    Mo Yuner nodded her head. In this period of time, she had helped Di Chen change rooms, and she knew that this technique was powerful, but the power was beyond her imagination.


    Mo Xiuwen laughed: "Looks like giving him a chance before is correct, he should be able to survive."


    Mo Yuner shook her head. "Not necessarily, that move of his just now consumed too much of the scholar''s power, and could probably only be used once. He is only at the eighth level of the Martial King realm, it would still be very difficult to deal with the remaining two ninth level Demonic King."


    Honestly speaking, with Di Chen''s previous performance, he could have absolutely kept him here. But fighting ground''s rule was to survive, so these two remaining Demonic King s weren''t weak at all.


    "Is he a literati?" Mo Xiuqi noticed that Di Chen''s technique did not emit any spirit energy fluctuations, and instantly guessed that he was from literati, and that it was just a scholarly person who did not consume spirit energy at all.


    The Demon Abyss was slightly stunned, "It''s actually literati, no wonder I couldn''t see through his strength."


    literati was a bit rarer, and no one had ever seen his either, so they were a little surprised to see Di Chen.


    Devil Hong also saw that Di Chen was a literati. He looked at Mo Xiao and reminded him, "This guy is probably very dangerous. Don''t provoke him in the future."


    Mo Xiao nodded his head, but his mouth revealed a playful smile, he liked to kill people with strength the most, while Di Chen was someone worth killing.


    According to what Mo Yuner had said, after Di Chen unleashed the Blast Character Formula, most of the power of the scholars was used up, so if he was unable to use it now, it would be very difficult for him to deal with the remaining two Demonic King s.


    "Impossible," Sima Chang Ting looked at Di Chen with disbelief. He had previously rejected Di Chen, but only now did he know that this fellow was so strong.


    Sima Chang Ting was a bit regretful, he thought for a while, but still said to Di Chen, "We still have two Demonic King s to kill."


    Di Chen nodded: "Ok."


    At this moment, the demonic snake rushed over, swinging its tail and lashing towards Sima Chang Ting.


    Sima Chang Ting hastily threw a punch in its direction, but he had just been severely injured, so he was unable to fight against the demonic snake. He was directly hit by it and was sent flying.


    At the same time, the Goblin Rat also ran towards Di Chen, who took out a few pieces of paper with the word "spear" written on it and threw them out. The Goblin Rat was only the size of a soccer ball, its movements were extremely agile and it easily avoided the spear, then it jumped in front of Di Chen and grabbed onto Di Chen''s chest and ripped off five pieces of flesh.


    Di Chen did not even have the chance to use his formula in the face of this demon rat and was clawed to a bloody pulp by him. Sima Chang Ting was also beaten into a sorry state by the demon snake in the distance and A Cai could only watch from the sidelines.


    "It seems like these two fellows will die for sure!" Everyone in the audience shook their heads, thinking that although Di Chen''s attack just now was astonishing enough, he was still unable to kill a Demonic King of the ninth level.


    Di Chen, Sima Chang Ting and A Cai were forced to a corner. The two Demonic King were very cunning and only found the right opportunity to attack.


    "What do we do?" Sima Chang Ting didn''t have any other options, he could only place his hopes on Di Chen.


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "If you believe me, then lend me your cultivation, then I can kill these two demonic beast."


    "Lend you your cultivation?" Sima Chang Ting was stunned. He didn''t understand, how could he borrow his cultivation?


    Di Chen explained in a hurry: I have learned a cultivation technique, and as long as the opponent is willing, I can absorb his cultivation. Of course, I can also inject my cultivation into other people''s bodies, you are Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, but you are seriously injured, and currently, you do not even have the strength to fight.


    Di Chen was now a Martial King and after absorbing Sima Chang Ting''s cultivation, he would be able to break through at least the eighth level. With Di Chen''s powerful strength, it would not be difficult for him to deal with two injured ninth level Demonic King.


    "This ¡­" He was not acquainted with Di Chen, what if he lent him his cultivation, what would happen if he didn''t return it?


    "I am willing," A Cai said, "Di Chen, I will lend you my cultivation."


    She still believed in Di Chen. After all, if Di Chen died, she would die.


    Di Chen shook his head: "No need, you are only at the first level of the Martial King realm, lending it to me will not increase my strength by much."


    A Cai was disappointed when she heard it, but what Di Chen said was true as well, A Cai''s cultivation was like a cup of water in a fire, it had no effect on Di Chen.


    The two Demonic King s were ready to attack again. Sima Chang Ting examined his body and confirmed that he was unable to attack again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright.


    Di Chen slapped Sima Chang Ting''s back and said seriously, "As long as you don''t resist, I''ll be fine."


    Sima Chang Ting remained calm. He could feel that his body seemed to have opened up a dam, and his power seemed to be flowing away like a flood. His realm was actually decreasing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, slowly turning into that of an ordinary person.


    "You''re not lightly injured either. Are you really confident?" Sima Chang Ting was still doubtful.


    Di Chen''s body was aching everywhere, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can still endure it."


    At this moment, a gentle wave of elemental energy entered Di Chen''s body, and Di Chen immediately discovered that his body was no longer aching, but instead had a comfortable feeling, and his injuries actually began to slowly recover.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen was startled for a moment, and when he turned his head back, he saw A Cai infusing her spirit energy into Di Chen''s body. Di Chen said in surprise, "A Cai, you did it."


    A Cai nodded blankly: "I am a doctor, I am powerless to treat wounds."


    Di Chen was surprised, he was originally a doctor, but she was different. Qin Suer had never cultivated, she only knew how to concoct pills, but A Cai did not know how to refine pills or treat illnesses.


    This way, Di Chen was more confident in killing the two Demonic King s.


    Just then, the Goblin Snake pounced towards Di Chen and bit him.


    Seeing this, everyone on stage gave Di Chen a death sentence. Looking at their current situation, they couldn''t even kill this demonic snake.


    Sima Chang Ting''s expression changed as he asked anxiously, "Di Chen, are you still not done yet?"


    "Enough," Di Chen released his hand, then directly went to meet the serpent demon, throwing a punch towards it.


    Isn''t he literati? How can he fight with his fists?


    Everyone was suspicious, fighting directly with brute strength and demonic beast was courting death, demonic beast had always been strong.


    BOOM!


    Di Chen''s punch landed on the demon serpent''s body, and the demon serpent was immediately smashed away by Di Chen. The scorching energy fused into the demon serpent''s body, and if one were to look inside, they would realize that all of the organs inside the demon serpent''s body had already been burnt to ashes.


    The Devil Snake twitched on the ground for a while and then stopped moving.


    Everyone was shocked. This fellow was clearly from the literati, how could he have such a strong power? Furthermore, his strength was much stronger than before, could it be that he consumed a Forbidden Pill or used a Forbidden Technique?


    Mo Xiuwen frowned: "What''s going on with this Di Chen, could it be a dual cultivation of martial arts and martial arts?"


    Mo Yuner was puzzled: "When he was in Famous Sword Academy, he was like that, usually she fought with the techniques of a scholar, but in reality his power was stronger than most warriors, I do not understand why, but Di Chen''s strength seems to have increased a lot compared to before, this is something I have never seen before."


    Even Mo Yuner had not seen this sudden increase in strength. She had never been able to understand why, but her gaze suddenly fell on Sima Chang Ting, discovering that Sima Chang Ting was as weak as an ordinary person. This surprised her, and she thought to herself: Could it be that the increase in Di Chen''s strength is related to Sima Chang Ting?


    The other people of Mo Family were also curiously staring at Di Chen, while Mo Xiao''s eyes were burning with eagerness, and wanted to duel with Di Chen.


    "This guy is so strong." Originally, Sima Chang Ting was only trying to fight to the death, but he didn''t think that Di Chen would actually be able to kill a level nine Demonic King.


    However, this Goblin Rat did not want to fight Di Chen head on. It avoided Di Chen''s fist instead and took the opportunity when Di Chen was not paying attention to strike it with its bare skin.


    Di Chen did not know any martial skills, and only knew brute strength. If he met with a cunning demonic beast like the Goblin Rat, he would be at a disadvantage.


    Squeak!


    The Goblin Rat once again pounced towards Di Chen, attacking him from a tricky angle.


    "We can''t go on like this," Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word tortoise on it, and used the power of the scholar to rush into it. Just as the rat was about to pounce towards Di Chen, its body suddenly twisted, transforming into a palm sized tortoise that fell onto the ground.


    Di Chen had always been being attacked by the Goblin Rat, he did not have the time to activate the formula, and now that Di Chen had the chance, he immediately turned it into a Turtle, and with Di Chen''s current cultivation, it could easily kill a turtle in ten seconds, which was too easy for him.

 C210

    "What kind of cultivation technique is this?" Everyone in the audience was staring at the Demon Rat that had turned into a Turtle in shock. This was the first time seeing such a mysterious technique, literati and warriors were really different.


    "Mo Yuner actually brought back such a powerful guy?"


    Mo Xiuqi, Mo Xiuwen and the others were all surprised. This Di Chen was indeed different from ordinary people, but this kind of person was a threat to the disciples of the Mo Family.


    But fortunately, this person only had Martial King Realm, so such strength was nothing in the Mo Family, and killing him would not be difficult.


    Of course, Di Chen didn''t know that at this time, there were already people who wanted to kill him. He calmly looked at the tortoise, and slowly walked over, where the tortoise who had turned into a tortoise could not avoid the attack at all. Di Chen smashed his fist onto the tortoise, and the tortoise let out a blood-curdling screech.


    Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Sima Chang Ting had lent his cultivation in time, otherwise, it would have been difficult for Di Chen to kill these two Demonic King s of the ninth rank by himself.


    Di Chen walked to Sima Chang Ting''s side and said, "I''ll return your cultivation level to you."


    As he spoke, he patted Sima Chang Ting''s body once again, and Di Chen''s energy entered Sima Chang Ting''s body. Sima Chang Ting discovered that his cultivation was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Sima Chang Ting was pleasantly surprised, "This cultivation art is amazing! It can absorb the cultivation of others as it pleases! It''s all thanks to you this time!"


    Previously, he had refused to fight with Di Chen, and it was fortunate that Di Chen did not care, or else he would not be able to survive.


    Di Chen turned his head to look at Mo Yuner. If she survived, Zi Yan should be fine too.


    Just then, the fighting ground''s door opened, and Di Chen, along with Sima Chang Ting and A Cai walked out.


    Zi Yan was waiting outside and was pleasantly surprised to see Di Chen alive: "Di Chen, it''s good that you''re fine."


    Di Chen laughed: "I said I won''t die, let''s go."


    A few of them returned to Mo Yuner''s side.


    "Di Chen, you''re so awesome," Mo Xun said with a smile. She was very happy that Di Chen was able to survive.


    Di Chen laughed: "I was just lucky."


    Mo Xun laughed heartily: "How can that be? My Seventh Sister wasn''t as powerful as you when you were at your level. Let''s cultivate together in the future."


    Di Chen laughed and nodded, he remembered that Mo Yuner had a good relationship with Mo Qing, she had killed Mo Qing, if she knew about this, he wondered what she would do, Di Chen thought that it would be better to keep a distance between him and Mo Xun in the future.


    Mo Yuner did not expect that Di Chen actually survived, and laughed: "Looks like I was not mistaken, you are very powerful, I will honor my previous promise, the two of you are fine now, but you cannot leave my Mo Family."


    Only then did Di Chen heave a sigh of relief, thinking that although he couldn''t leave for the time being, at least he wouldn''t be in danger.


    Mo Feng asked curiously: "Di Chen, what cultivation technique did you use just now?"


    Di Chen did not hide anything and said: "That is a turtle formula, it is capable of turning any living thing into a bundle, time depends on my cultivation, now that I am at the fifth level of King Wen, I can turn a normal level nine Demonic King into a turtle for ten seconds, of course, this formula is using too much power, I can only use it once."


    Although the formula in the Heavenly Book Scripture looked mysterious, it was actually very difficult to cultivate in, and it was not easy to use. Di Chen had also seized the chance to turn the Goblin Rat into a Turtle, and if he made a mistake earlier, Di Chen would not be able to kill the Goblin Rat.


    Mo Yuner was curious again: "Just now, my strength suddenly increased greatly, what cultivation technique is this?"


    Di Chen casually said: "It is a cultivation technique that I learned in the wizard tower, with the consent of others, I can absorb other people''s cultivation into my body, and can also insert my cultivation into others'' bodies, this will increase a person''s strength for a short period of time, but in reality, training requires a gradual process, forcefully absorbing other people''s cultivation and not using it for cultivation purposes, so under normal circumstances, I will still return it to them after absorbing other people''s cultivation."


    Forcefully increasing his cultivation was not beneficial to his cultivation. For example, Di Chen had the cultivation of a Martial King, he could absorb the cultivation of others to reach the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, but if he could not find a person who would willingly allow him to absorb their cultivation, then his cultivation would not be able to increase. And because he had previously raised his cultivation by force, which was not beneficial to breaking through to the next stage, Di Chen had decided to return his cultivation to Sima Chang Ting.


    This cultivation technique seemed mystical, but in reality, it could only be used to protect one''s life at critical moments. It could not be used to cultivate.


    When the crowd heard the explanation, they suddenly understood. Although this cultivation technique looked mysterious, it was still useless. After all, there weren''t many people willing to let them absorb their cultivation.


    "I never thought that our Mo Family would actually have such a powerful guy. You must be a literati, right?"


    It was at this time that Mo Xiuqi walked over. The reason why he had stayed behind to watch the Martial King Realm fight was because Di Chen was brought back by Mo Yuner, his main competitor. Therefore, Mo Xiuqi was a little curious, and did not expect to see a good show.


    Di Chen did not hide it and nodded.


    Mo Xiuqi laughed: "literati is very rare, the technique is mystical, today I have witnessed it myself. The fact that you can survive from fighting ground means that you have the qualifications to join our Mo Family, but..."


    He paused for a moment before continuing, "Mo Family is in danger, I hope you will take care of yourself."


    With that, he left with a smile.


    The Demon Abyss also looked at Di Chen meaningfully and said, "After entering the Mo Family, you will be unable to get rid of this identity. This means that you will be tied to the Mo Family for your entire life, but this is not a good thing.


    When you survive the fighting ground, the Mo Family will not kill you, but this is only on the surface. The power of the Mo Family is complex, there will definitely be people who will take advantage of you, and after speaking, the Demon Abyss will follow Mo Xiuqi. To him, a single person with Martial King Realm was not enough to be a threat, so he won''t put Di Chen in his eyes.


    Mo Xun was a little angry that the Demon Abyss had actually threatened Di Chen, and said angrily: "Di Chen, don''t listen to them, you''ll be fine."


    would never even think like this, he thought that if Di Chen was on the same side as him, there would be a lot of people who would kill him.


    At this time, Mo Xiao also walked over, and laughed: "I originally thought you wouldn''t live to see today, you are out of my expectations."


    Mo Xun became angry just thinking about it, and wanted to kill her, so she wanted to choke her down. Then, Mo Yuner glared at her and shook her head slightly.


    Although Mo Xiao was arrogant, he had the ability to be so.


    Di Chen, however, would not mind, and said with a smile: "I''ve disappointed you."


    Mo Xiao thought for a while, then said: "You''re not weak, how about the two of us have a match?"


    Di Chen stared at Mo Xiao for a while, analyzing his own strength, but still shook his head after thinking about it. Di Chen''s battle with him was too dangerous, even if Di Chen was able to kill him, Di Chen could not do so, because Mo Xiao who cultivated in the Desolation Spell had a very high position in the Mo Family. Even if he killed Di Chen, he would also be killed, but Mo Xiao was able to kill Di Chen, so Di Chen was bound by arms and legs, this kind of battle was not fair in the first place.


    Mo Xiao thought that Di Chen was afraid of him and smiled: "I know my limits."


    Mo Yuner said in a low voice: "Mo Xiao, are you done talking yet?"


    Mo Xiao laughed: "Why are Seventh Sister so angry, I am only here to congratulate your junior brother. Although your junior brother managed to survive by relying on his strength, but..."


    His gaze suddenly fell on Sima Chang Ting and A Cai, and he laughed: "The two of them did not survive relying on their own strength, if they survived, it would simply be humiliating our Mo Family."


    After he said that, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he heard A Cai screaming miserably, her body directly collapsing to the ground, instantly becoming lifeless. Sima Chang Qian lasted for two seconds, but in the end, he was killed too, and the two of them were already injured, and they were not weak either, unable to resist the Desolation Spell.


    "Mo Xiao..." Mo Xiuwen was angry this time. Although Sima Chang Ting and A Cai''s death had nothing to do with him, but Mo Xiao killing someone in front of him was something he could not accept.


    Mo Xiao did not seem to be afraid of Mo Xiuwen as he laughed: "Second Uncle, there is no need to be angry. Trash like this is not worthy of living at all.


    When Mo Xiuwen saw that Mo Xiao was actually very calm in front of him, even his father, Mo Hong, did not dare to be like that.


    "It is up to me to decide whether to kill them or not. If you dare to kill in front of me next time, I will cripple your cultivation."


    Mo Xiuwen said coldly: "Your father is still waiting for you. Go cultivate."


    Mo Xiao could tell that Mo Xiuwen was serious this time. This time, he did not dare to speak rashly, so he sincerely bowed and left.


    Mo Feng coldly snorted: "This fellow has been getting more and more arrogant ever since he started cultivating the Desolation Spell. He actually killed someone in front of us."


    Mo Yuner said angrily, "The Desolation Spell is Mo Family''s number one cultivation technique, and not a single person in the entire Mo Family has managed to learn it.


    Previously, she wanted to kill Mo Xun and now, she wanted to kill Sima Chang Ting and A Cai in front of everyone. However, that thought had suddenly surfaced in her mind, she wished that she could kill him without making a sound, but Di Chen was the only one who could do that.


    "Let''s go, you should go back to your room to rest first," Mo Yuner said as she looked at Di Chen.


    Di Chen looked at the corpses of A Cai and Sima Chang Ting calmly. Although they did not have much interaction with each other, they had fought together and survived just now, and with great difficulty, they were killed, and even Di Chen felt pity for them, but in truth, Di Chen was not as lucky as them.


    Di Chen looked at the distant Mo Xiao, his eyes squinted, he suddenly had a plan to kill Mo Xiao, but Mo Yuner knew that he could kill him soundlessly, before she knew what they were thinking, Di Chen could not make a move.

 C211

    Di Chen and Zi Yan followed Mo Yuner the entire way, and did not say a word. Although they were lucky enough to survive this, they could not let their guard down.


    Just then, Mo Yuner suddenly stopped, looked at Di Chen and asked: "Do you really want to kill me?"


    Di Chen stared at Mo Yuner and did not say anything, neither did he admit nor deny.


    Mo Yuner said calmly: "I know your relationship with Qin Er is not bad, and that I killed her, you must hate me, but you killed one of my Mo Family''s people, so it is only right for me to take revenge. Qin Er died for your sake, you can only blame yourself."


    But if you want revenge, you can come and kill me. Why do you want to kill Qin Er?


    But you didn''t kill me right now. Which means that you didn''t even think about taking revenge for Mo Xie and the others.


    Di Chen thought about many things, but he did not say anything and continued to walk.


    Mo Yuner continued: "It doesn''t matter if you want to kill me, but you better think it through carefully. From now on, you are considered a member of my Mo Family, I will make Zi Yan stay here and provide her with cultivation pills and techniques, but if you do anything to me, I will kill her."


    Although he had the ability to protect himself, Zi Yan did not have the Lifestealer Realm. If Mo Family wanted to use Zi Yan to threaten Di Chen, he could only accept it.


    Zi Yan also knew that he had implicated Di Chen, and said apologetically: "Di Chen, I am truly sorry, it was my fault."


    Di Chen laughed and said: "What are you saying, you can stay here without worry in the future. Cultivate properly, and try to break through your Martial King Realm as soon as possible."


    Lifestealer Realm truly did not have the ability to fend for oneself in the Mo Family, so Zi Yan could only survive by constantly increasing his strength, and furthermore, Di Chen also had the chance to escape with her.


    Zi Yan nodded, his eyes filled with determination. She did not want to implicate Di Chen, so she cultivated with all her might.


    Di Chen looked at Mo Yuner and asked, "Can you find someone who can teach Zi Yan cultivation?"


    Mo Yuner frowned: "What does her cultivation have to do with me? Why should I ¡­"


    Mo Yuner only wanted to use Zi Yan to control Di Chen, that was all. Zi Yan had no value to Mo Yuner, so she did not want to waste time on Zi Yan, but after thinking about it, he still agreed. Two reasons, first, Zi Yan wanted to use all five Blood-Drinking Sword s to refine them into martial soul s, which was not weak either.


    "You went a little too far just now," Mo Hong also saw Mo Xiao killing Sima Chang Ting and A Cai. He did not stop him but he did not quite agree with Mo Xiao''s reckless actions.


    Mo Xiao said calmly: "I originally wanted to kill that Di Chen fellow, but it seems that Seventh Sister values him a lot, so I killed the other two people. Actually, what I did this is also to see what their bottom line is towards me."


    "You can''t do this kind of thing too much. Even though you have cultivated the Desolation Spell, before you break through the Martial Monarch Level, you were still inferior to Mo Yuner, the Demon Abyss and the others. Don''t be too complacent."


    Martial King was only the starting point, Mo Xiao''s cultivation was still suppressed by Mo Yuner and the others, so this Desolation Spell was not his Gold Medallion of Immunity.


    How could Mo Xiao not understand the current situation? However, he was temporarily not interested in surpassing Mo Yuner and the others, and instead, was very interested in Di Chen. He was a proud man, and now that he had met a rare literati, and he was not weak, he naturally wanted to kill him.


    It was just that Mo Xiao did not know that Di Chen could kill him many times, it was just that Di Chen did not make a move.


    Zi Yan and Di Chen lived in two different rooms, and because Mo Yuner did not believe in Di Chen, the two of them were not allowed to meet casually.


    "A scholar has broken through the fifth level of King Wen, the realm of a martial artist is only six stages, during this period of time, I have been locked up here and have no way of cultivating the realm of martial artists, I need to find some time to cultivate."


    Cultivating the realm of a warrior meant that he had to absorb all kinds of demonic beast s'' snow meat, but there were only Snow demon s in Tianshan. In fact, the Snow demon''s snow meat was not suitable for Di Chen to absorb, so if he wanted to cultivate the realm of a warrior, he had to leave the Tianshan or get Mo Yuner to send some demonic beast over.


    "I have to think of a way to go down the mountain," Di Chen thought to himself.


    In the next period of time, Di Chen copied the¡¶ On the Sky¡· book every day. In the next few months, it would be the day of the competition between the three great academies, although Di Chen was taken away by the Mo Family, but no matter what, Di Chen would still participate in the competition between the three great academies, so during this period of time, he had to increase his cultivation as much as possible.


    This kind of power would enter Di Chen''s body when he looked at it for the first time, increasing his power as a scholar. But after reading it, this power had been completely used up, so if he wanted to level up his power as a scholar, he would need to flip through the books he had never seen before. It was just like how warriors who absorbed Spiritual Energy, some of the natural treasures contained a huge amount of Spiritual Energy, but after absorbing it once, he was unable to absorb it anymore.


    Scholars needed to comprehend the power of a scholar from different books, so the more books they read, the more unique it was to cultivate. However, not all books could be used for cultivation, and only books passed down by scholars or great people would have such uses.


    "Di Chen..." A few days later, Mo Xun came to find Di Chen, she pushed open the door and entered, smiling merrily at Di Chen: "Are you done cultivating?"


    Di Chen did not expect her to come, and smiled: Xun Er, is something the matter?


    Mo Xun smiled and said: "I''ve come to find you this time because I want you to accompany me to hunt demonic beast."


    Di Chen smiled bitterly: "Your Seventh Sister has always opposed you coming to find me. I''m afraid that you''ll be in danger, so aren''t you afraid that she''ll lock you up again?"


    Mo Xun laughed heartily: "Seventh Sister did not allow me to visit you initially, but because my cultivation has broken through to the seventh level of the Martial King realm, I finally accepted it."


    Di Chen thought that Mo Yuner had agreed to cultivate together with her. It seemed that she trusted him quite a bit, but since Zi Yan was still in her hands, she had no reason to make things difficult for him.


    "Alright," Di Chen thought to himself. After all, he had been locked in his room cultivating the last few days and had not made much progress, so he should really go out and take a walk.


    Mo Xun revealed a smile, and immediately left the room while pulling Di Chen along. Honestly speaking, Di Chen did not want to maintain a close relationship with him, since he had killed Mo Qing and the others. This matter would sooner or later be exposed, but there were times when he could not reject the hand in hand of a simple and cute little Girl like Mo Xun.


    Walking out of the room, he saw Mo Yuner waiting outside. She probably knew that Di Chen would go cultivate with him too.


    Mo Xun curled her lips and said: "Seventh Sister, you promised me just now.


    Mo Yuner smiled and said: "Since Seventh Sister has agreed to go with you, I naturally will not object, but I am prepared to go with you."


    Mo Xun exclaimed, she knew that her freedom of movement would be gone if she went along with Mo Yuner, there would definitely be many restrictions, but she knew that if she did not agree, she would most likely not be able to go out either, so she nodded helplessly.


    Di Chen asked curiously: "Where are we going to hunt demonic beast?"


    Mo Yuner thought for a while and said: "There are only Snow demon in Tianshan that are not suitable for cultivation, let''s go to the Heart''s Lake that is 100 miles away from Tianshan. I just happen to lack some herbs, and these herbs can only be found in that place."


    Di Chen was startled, he naturally knew about the Heart Gazing Lake, located at the north side of mountain, where there were many spirit flowers and unique herbs, but they were very dangerous, only Di Chen was surprised that Mo Yuner actually agreed to allow him to go down the mountain.


    Mo Xun was the most excited, she had never been a servant before.


    Di Chen suddenly thought of Zi Yan and asked: "How is Zi Yan?"


    It had been half a month since he last met Zi Yan, and he didn''t know how she was doing in his cultivation.


    Mo Yuner said: "She''s about to break through her Martial King Realm. Her talent is really average, so it''s a little difficult."


    Di Chen secretly thought that it would be difficult to break through Zi Yan''s Martial King Realm, but with five Blood-Drinking Sword, his strength would be much stronger, if he had the chance to buy a Spirit Opening Pill for her, then it would be great, and he would cultivate very quickly. It was a pity that Spirit Opening Pills were pills that were lost sooner or later, and such things could only be found and not sought.


    "Xun Er is too much of a prankster. All she thinks about is going down the mountain. I wonder how dangerous it is down there." Previously, Mo Yuner had already told Mo Xun about it before she went back to cultivate with Mo Xin. Mo Xin didn''t want to agree, but because she couldn''t take Mo Xun''s pleas and with Mo Yuner to accompany him, Mo Xin had to agree reluctantly. However, he was still worried, as this was Mo Xun''s first time coming down the mountain.


    Mo Xiuwen laughed: "You are too used to Xun Er, she has already grown up, it is time for her to train on her own, this trip down the mountain is good too."


    "I did protect her too much, but there''s nothing I can do about it. You also know that she has at most one year left to live, so I can''t think of anything."


    Mo Xun had been sick since young, and her body was very weak. Actually, her body was already filled with thousands of holes, but Mo Family couldn''t do anything about it, so Demon Long didn''t want Mo Xun to cultivate at all. She only wanted Mo Xun to live happily for the remaining year, and since Mo Xun liked to cultivate, she could only rely on her.


    "If Qin Zheng hadn''t died that year, I might have been able to save her."


    Mo Xiuwen sighed: "It''s a pity that Qin Zheng was killed by the imperial court''s underlings."


    He was the number one imperial physician in the imperial court, specializing in the treatment of difficult illnesses. Originally, Mo Zhen wanted to get Qin Zheng''s help, but a few years ago, Qin Zheng was framed by a traitor and died miserably, so Mo Xin gave up on that idea.


    "I heard that Qin Zheng had a daughter who was also a doctor and had gotten Qin Zhong''s teachings. It''s a pity that her whereabouts are unknown sooner or later. If I could find her, I might be able to save Xun Er."


    In truth, Mo Xin had already sent people to look for Qin Suer before, but Martial Region Continent was too big, so how could he possibly find him?


    Right now, the Martial Region Continent would not be able to find anyone to save Mo Xun, so Mo Xin had long resigned herself to her fate.


    Mo Xiuwen also sighed slightly. A great clan like the Mo Family was unable to save a Mo Xun!

 C212

    On the Tianshan''s mountain path, Mo Xun was walking at the forefront. She was walking down the mountain for the first time, and it seemed that she was very excited.


    Di Chen and Mo Yuner were walking at the back, Di Chen smiled as he looked at Mo Xun, thinking that it was really a tragedy for her to be born in Mo Family, if she was living outside, perhaps she would be happier.


    "Mo Xun''s body seems to be relatively weak. What''s going on?"


    Di Chen had previously realized that Mo Xun seemed to be very weak, as if she had been sick for a long time and had not recovered, giving off a feeling of being extremely weak.


    Mo Yuner was silent for a moment before saying: "You can see it too, actually Xun Er has been sick ever since she was young, all these years we have been searching everywhere for pills to treat her disease, but her disease is unable to be cured, I am afraid that she only has one year left to live."


    "One year?" Di Chen looked at Mo Xun in astonishment. He never thought that such a cute girl could only live one year.


    Mo Yuner said: "Actually back then, my father wanted to look for Thousand Autumn Dynasty''s First Imperial Physician Qin Zheng for help, but he did not expect that she was killed by a traitor, I''m afraid no one in the entire Martial Region Continent can save her now."


    Di Chen secretly thought that since Qin Suer had inherited Qin Zheng''s medical skills, she might not be able to cure her. If he had the chance, she would have to look for Qin Suer, but that was easier said than done, the Mo Family would not let him leave. Furthermore, Qin Suer was taken away by the people from the imperial court, so whether or not she could see her again in her life was questionable.


    At this time, Mo Xun jogged back again, hands behind her back, and said smilingly: "Di Chen, what relationship do you have with that Zi Yan?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I''m just an ordinary friend, I was taken care of by her the first time I went to Famous Sword Academy."


    Mo Xun said: "I even thought you two were lovers. If you wanted to, you wouldn''t have fought so hard for her."


    It could be said that Bai Qian was the only person in the world that Zi Yan could rely on. Now that Bai Qian had miserably died, if Di Chen did not take care of Zi Yan, no one could really take care of her.


    "Then ¡­" Mo Xun thought for a while, then asked: "Do you have anyone you like?"


    Di Chen suddenly thought of Qin Suer, Liu Jingjing and Shang Yu. Speaking of them, he liked a lot of people, but the only one he liked was Shang Yu. He wanted to say something ¡­


    "Yes," Mo Yuner answered on Di Chen''s behalf. "She is also a student of the Famous Sword Academy, her name is Liu Jingjing, and her relationship with Di Chen is very good."


    Mo Yuner could tell that Mo Xun seemed to like Di Chen a lot, but that was not what she wanted. She did not want Di Chen to get too close to her, so she simply said Liu Jingjing and beat him up to prevent her from thinking too much.


    Mo Xun said with a face full of disappointment, "So it''s like that ¡­"


    She let out a long sigh, "I think you and my Seventh Sister are pretty suitable. I was originally thinking you two could be together."


    originally thought that she liked Di Chen, but in the end, she actually wanted him to be with Di Chen?


    But that was impossible, he had killed Qin Er, he was afraid that Di Chen would not even make it in time to kill him!


    Di Chen thought that Mo Xun seemed to like Mo Yuner a lot, otherwise, she wouldn''t think like this. He smiled and said: "I have a person that I like, and she and I are considered childhood friends. She is my fiancee, but she is not Liu Jingjing, she is currently in Sky Realm Academy."


    Hearing this, Mo Yuner was a little surprised. She knew that Liu Jingjing and him were often together and Liu Jingjing didn''t even want her life for Di Chen, but she didn''t think that there would be someone else in Di Chen''s heart. Thinking about it like this, she seemed to be unhappy, and felt that Liu Jingjing was unfair.


    Mo Xun stared at Di Chen blankly, feeling even more helpless.


    After getting off the Tianshan, they continued to head north. Two days later, they arrived at the Heart''s Lake. The lake was very big, as far as the eye could see, the lake''s surface was blue and scaly.


    "The most that can be seen is the Demonic King s. You can stay here, I still need to go gather some Spirit Medicines."


    Mo Yuner said.


    Mo Xun giggled: "Seventh Sister, how about I accompany you there?"


    Mo Yuner shook her head: "I''m going to too many places in the Demon Emperor, it''s way too dangerous for you guys there, you guys should just stay here to cultivate."


    Mo Xun curled her lips, and nodded in agreement in the end.


    Mo Yuner then looked at Di Chen and said: "I hope you can take good care of Xun Er. If anything happens to her, I''ll take Zi."


    "Seventh Sister," Mo Xun said as she knew what Mo Yuner meant. Without waiting for her to finish, she grumbled, "Di Chen saved my life before.


    That was why she was using Zi Yan to threaten Di Chen, but in reality, she did not think that Di Chen would do anything dangerous to Mo Xun. Otherwise, she would not agree to let him and Di Chen come out together.


    Mo Yuner swallowed her words, and without saying a word, she started walking in a certain direction.


    Mo Xun waited until Mo Yuner left before looking at him apologetically: "Di Chen, I''m so sorry, actually Seventh Sister didn''t have any ill intentions, she was just too worried about me. Don''t blame her, she''s actually a very good person, you''ll know about it in the future."


    How could Di Chen not know? He smiled and said that he wouldn''t, but in his heart, he was a little angry that Mo Yuner was using Zi Yan to threaten him.


    "Oh right, where are we going to cultivate?" Mo Xun saw that Di Chen did not seem to be angry, but was happy instead.


    Facing such a lively Mo Xun, Di Chen could really not get angry. He smiled and said: "The main purpose of this trip is to bring you out to train. There are a lot of demonic beast over there.


    Mo Xun nodded and then followed Di Chen in a certain direction. A short while later, they arrived at a certain place on the shore of the Central Lake, and beside them were many turtles, which were Archaeopteryx s. They were probably Level 7 Demonic King s, and their attacks were not strong, but their shells were very hard, making them very difficult to kill.


    "You go hunt those Archaeopteryx," Di Chen said. He knew that Mo Xun did not have much combat experience, so he wanted to slowly nurture her.


    Mo Xun walked towards the demonic beast and channeled her spirit energy into her palm. With a clap of her hands, a Ice Sword struck the Archaeopteryx''s shell, making it abnormally hard. The Ice Sword was immediately smashed into pieces, completely unharmed by Mo Xun''s strike.


    The Archaeopteryx seemed to be enraged, as it opened its mouth and spat out a stream of water towards Mo Xun. Although the attacks of the Archaeopteryx didn''t seem to be strong, if it was hit by the water pillar, it would be severely injured.


    Mo Xun was stunned, she did not know how to resist, and closed her eyes in shock.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen hurriedly used the Halo Blade Technique and stopped the water pillar in front of Mo Xun, like it was a painting.


    Di Chen walked in front of Mo Xun, patted her shoulders and said in a speechless manner, "It''s alright, open your eyes."


    Only then did Mo Xun open her eyes. She saw the pillar of water stopped right in front of her eyes, and only then did she heave a sigh of relief.


    She poked the water pillar with her finger and said in shock, "Di Chen, what kind of technique is this? It''s so mystical."


    Di Chen was speechless: "This is just my formula, Xun Er, I can see that your technique is not weak, with your strength, killing this Archaeopteryx is actually very easy."


    Mo Xun stuck out her tongue embarrassedly: "I have always been cultivating in Mo Family, and rarely fought with the demonic beast. I panicked for a moment, and luckily you were here."


    Di Chen pulled Mo Xun away and said: "It''s not enough to just focus on cultivation, continue. Grab hold of the Archaeopteryx''s weakness and strike at its fatal point as much as possible."


    After saying that, Di Chen retracted the power of the scholar, and the Archaeopteryx continued to cast its water technique.


    Mo Xun took the chance to release another two Ice Sword s, but this time they were shot towards the Archaeopteryx''s head.


    The Archaeopteryx''s head shrank, and the water sword did not hit the Archaeopteryx. The Ice Sword shattered and melted into water again.


    "I didn''t hit you again," Mo Xun curled her lips in displeasure. At this time, the Archaeopteryx stuck its head out again, and Mo Xun immediately made a hand sign, causing a gust of cold air to dissipate. The two Ice Sword''s water froze into ice, freezing the Archaeopteryx''s head completely.


    "You won''t be able to escape this time right?" Mo Xun laughed, and then shot out two more Ice Sword s. This time, the Ice Sword directly penetrated the Archaeopteryx''s head, and killed it easily.


    "Di Chen, I succeeded," Mo Xun said with an excited expression after killing the Archaeopteryx.


    Di Chen laughed: "There are still a few over there."


    Mo Xun nodded and went to hunt for other Archaeopteryx. After gaining a successful experience, it was much easier for her to hunt other Archaeopteryx. Her battle experience was also much richer than before.


    Di Chen noticed that Mo Xun''s spirit energy was extremely dense, and her power was actually very strong. It was just that she lacked battle experience, so she was unable to unleash the power of many cultivation techniques.


    After that, Mo Xun hunted Archaeopteryx s the entire time, while Di Chen sat at the side with the big tree behind his back and started to read. Since Mo Xun was in no danger, Di Chen also did not want to waste time.


    Time passed minute after minute. After an unknown amount of time, Mo Xun walked over and said: "Di Chen, you''ve finished killing me."


    Di Chen had been reading the entire time, and had not noticed Mo Xun''s situation. Only after hearing Mo Xun''s words did she come back to her senses, as he noticed the injuries on Mo Xun''s body. She said in shock, "How did you get injured?"


    Mo Xun laughed heartily: "I accidentally got injured by a Archaeopteryx just now, but it''s not too bad, I just need to eat some pills to recover. Di Chen, let''s go somewhere else."


    Di Chen turned his head and saw the corpses of Archaeopteryx on the ground.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen said as he pointed into the distance. "There are still a lot of demonic beast over there.


    Mo Xun''s strength was also getting stronger and stronger. Although Mo Xun was using the Martial King six stages, she was still able to faintly deal with Level 7 Demonic King, but she would need a very long time to train in it. As for the demonic beast that she killed, Di Chen kept them all, so absorbing the Demonic beast flesh and blood would also help her levelled up.

 C213

    Roar!


    At this moment, an earth-shattering roar rang out. The roar was like a ripple that spread out, causing sand to fly and rocks to fly. Trees were uprooted along with it.


    Di Chen covered his eyes with both hands and leaned forward, as if he was being blown away by the wind. A few seconds later, the wind finally stopped, and a level nine Demonic King walked out. It was a Erysipelas, with red fur all over its body.


    "Not good," Di Chen''s face changed, and immediately pulled Mo Xun behind him, vigilantly staring at the Erysipelas.


    Mo Xun was a little afraid: "Di Chen, what do we do? This Erysipelas is a level 9 demonic beast, do you have a way to kill it?"


    Di Chen was currently at the fifth level of King Wen, the Martial King six stages. Previously, when he absorbed Sima Chang Ting''s cultivation, he was only able to kill a ninth level Demonic King, but in reality, with Di Chen''s current strength, he could only deal with a eighth level Demonic King. It was very dangerous to face a ninth level Demonic King, not to mention that the Erysipelas was not an ordinary Demonic King.


    "Protect yourself well," Di Chen did not directly answer Mo Xun, because he was really not confident in being able to do so.


    The Erysipelas roared, the roar seemed to be able to shatter Di Chen''s body, and then it pounced towards Di Chen.


    "Explode!" Di Chen stared intently at the Erysipelas, and just as it pounced towards him, he suddenly took out a piece of paper with the word ''explode'' written on it, and the power of the scholar rushed in, causing an explosion. The Erysipelas flew out immediately and slid for over ten metres, with one of its forelimbs blown off, causing blood to gush out.


    The Erysipelas stood up again. Di Chen''s Blast Character Formula could heavily injure it, but it would still be difficult to kill it.


    Di Chen could only use the Blast Character Formula once, if he did not kill it, Di Chen would be in danger.


    The Erysipelas leaped up again and clawed at Di Chen with its front claws.


    A normal set of formula and Spear Arts would not work on it, so Di Chen could only use brute strength.


    Di Chen''s fist met the Erysipelas and collided with its tiger claw. The Erysipelas''s strength was far stronger than Di Chen''s and he was directly sent flying, rolling over ten times with his arms broken, but the Erysipelas was also injured, and its claws could clearly see the burn mark.


    "Di Chen..." Mo Xun hurriedly ran over to Di Chen''s side and helped him up. He said worriedly, "How are you?"


    Di Chen clenched his teeth and said: "The strength of this Erysipelas is beyond my imagination, with my strength, it is very difficult to kill it. Xun Er, quickly go."


    "No," Mo Xun firmly said. "I can''t leave you behind.


    If it was just him alone, he would have immediately run away. But with Xun Er here, he wanted to buy her some time, but Mo Xun wanted to die together with her. However, facing this kind of Mo Xun who could not bear to provoke her, she was also worried for herself.


    Just then, the Erysipelas pounced at him again. Mo Xun immediately made a hand sign and two Ice Sword s shot towards the Erysipelas''s body. It was just that the Ice Sword did not do much damage to it.


    The Erysipelas took the chance and rushed in front of Mo Xun. It grabbed onto Mo Xun''s chest with its tiger claw and immediately flipped him over.


    "Xun Er," Di Chen''s face changed, he saw the Erysipelas pouncing towards him again and immediately threw a punch at it.


    The Erysipelas welcomed it with its tiger claws and similarly flipped Di Chen over. Its other arm was also broken, and the two were simply not this Erysipelas''s match.


    "Di Chen," Mo Xun said anxiously, "Aren''t you able to execute the tortoise formula? Quickly think of a way."


    Di Chen said, "This formula requires a lot of time to activate, at least three seconds."


    Although the formula s were mystical, it was actually even harder to execute than the Blast Character Formula.


    thought about it for a while, then rushed towards the Erysipelas. One point between his brows, and a gust of cold air rushed out, instantly freezing the ground where this cold air passed and turning it into ice. This was Mo Xun''s martial soul, a ice attribute martial soul.


    The Erysipelas''s body paused for a moment before it slowly froze as well. With a shake of its body, the ice fragments around it shattered into pieces.


    Mo Xun''s spirit energy continued to gush out frantically. Although it was difficult to freeze the Erysipelas, and the ice started to spread again, even though it was difficult to freeze the Erysipelas, it had greatly controlled its speed.


    "Di Chen, quick," Mo Xun shouted with difficulty. She had consumed her spirit energy quickly, and could not hold on for long.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word tortoise written on it, the power of the scholars gushed into the paper, following that, the word tortoise shone brilliantly, and the Erysipelas''s body began to distort, finally turning into a tortoise the size of a football.


    "Success," Di Chen said happily. Although this formula was powerful, it was very difficult to succeed.


    Mo Xun heaved a sigh of relief. Although she had only controlled the Erysipelas for a few seconds, but she had used up most of her literary power. If there were any more demonic beast, she would not have had the strength to fight back.


    "Xun Er, hurry up and kill it," Di Chen, who had activated the turtle formula and was heavily injured, had no way of killing the Erysipelas.


    Mo Xun immediately summoned a handful of Spirit Sword and walked to the side of the turtle. The Erysipelas that had already turned into a turtle obviously could not block this attack.


    "This cultivation technique is very mystical," Mo Xun said in shock: "This Erysipelas is very powerful, but after turning into a turtle, it can''t resist. It''s much easier to kill it."


    Di Chen laughed: This technique is mystical, the only drawback is that it requires you to be very close to the opponent when you execute it, and it does not require 3 seconds, and that requires the cooperation of others, if not three seconds would be enough for you to be killed multiple times.


    In fact, it was all thanks to Mo Xun''s ice martial soul just now. If it was anyone else, they would not be able to control the ice martial soul for even a few seconds.


    "Strange ¡­" Di Chen stared at the corpse of the Erysipelas suspiciously, he thought for a while and said: "This place should not have any Erysipelas, this Erysipelas doesn''t seem to be wild, just like other people''s spirit beasts."


    If it was a spirit beast, then there must be other warriors here, and at least they were from Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, if they could turn the Erysipelas into a spirit beast, then they must be very strong.


    "Let''s leave this place first," Di Chen said as he put away the Erysipelas''s corpse. Then, he prepared to find a safe place with Mo Xun to first recover from her injuries.


    Not long after the two of them left, a man and a woman walked out. This man was tall, holding a mace, he was called He Tong, and the woman beside him had a slim figure and a gentle appearance, and was called He Xin, both of them were He Clan, and the He Clan was a clan that was not weaker than the Mo Family.


    He Tong squatted on the ground, his finger was stained with fresh blood. He placed it on his nose and took a whiff, then said softly: This is the Erysipelas''s blood, it''s dead.


    "What?" He Xin was shocked: "This Erysipelas is also a level nine Demonic King, who can kill it, could it be a Martial King?"


    He Tong looked around for blood, he shook his head and said: "No, looking at the Erysipelas''s Qi, I saw that it had fought with two Martial King Realm cultivators before, and the two of them worked together to kill the Erysipelas, but they were also heavily injured, and were probably recuperating somewhere else."


    He Xin Xin said angrily: "Third brother, you finally managed to capture this Erysipelas with great difficulty, but now it has been killed by someone. Third brother, we can''t let them go so easily. Let''s go find it."


    The Erysipelas could be considered a rare demonic beast and was hard to tame. He Tong had paid a huge price to tame the demonic tiger, but now that he had been killed by another person with great difficulty, he was unwilling. The two of them immediately looked in the direction of the fresh blood.


    Di Chen and Mo Xun found a cave. This cave was very concealed, the outside of the cave was covered by vines, if they did not search carefully, they would not be able to find it.


    Mo Xun took out a few medicinal pellets and gave them to Di Chen: "This is the Goblin Pellet, a pellet specifically used by our Mo Family to heal injuries. The effect is very good."


    Di Chen knew that this pill would cost at least a million gold coins, and was countless times better than the Great Recovery Pill. He never would have thought that Mo Xun would hand over five of these good pills to Di Chen, but he trusted Di Chen so much that he could take one and swallow it. When Di Chen took one and swallowed it, it melted into his body and a majestic Spiritual Energy rushed into his body, as if it was a cool feeling.


    "What a powerful medicinal pellet," Di Chen only swallowed one and he could already feel that his injuries had mostly recovered. He didn''t even need the Banshee Pill for the remaining injuries, he only needed to take the Great Recovery Pill and Di Chen''s injuries would completely recover after an hour.


    After recovering from his injuries, Di Chen started to copy the books, and gradually recovered the strength of a scholar. Two hours later, Di Chen completely recovered the strength of a scholar, and then, he took out the Erysipelas s corpse.


    Di Chen grabbed the corpse of the Spirit Demon Tiger, and its blood and flesh entered Di Chen''s body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Di Chen could feel an enormous energy filling every inch of his flesh.


    "This Erysipelas''s power is indeed strong," Di Chen gasped, a piece of flesh was quickly absorbed by Di Chen, his strength increased by quite a bit, but his realm did not increase, following that, Di Chen grabbed another piece of flesh and started to absorb.


    Four hours later.


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen let out a long breath of turbid air. His martial arts realm had already broken through to the 7th level of the Martial King realm, and there was still quite a lot of flesh and blood here. It could at least help Di Chen cultivate to the 8th level of the Martial King Realm.


    Fortunately, the Erysipelas''s beast core was still there, and I, Di Chen, once again, started to absorb it. The beast core was too dense, so absorbing it was quite difficult, and it took Di Chen two days to completely absorb the beast core. After absorbing it, his cultivation had already broken through the eighth level of the Martial King realm.


    "I never thought I would directly break through two small realms," Di Chen said in disbelief, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood that Erysipelas was a demonic beast that focused on power. Di Chen absorbing Demonic beast flesh and blood was just to strengthen himself, this Erysipelas was just right for that.


    Di Chen thought that with his current speed, he would at least be able to hunt a few level nine Demonic King s to break through his Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm and use the rest of his time to rush into the King Wen Realm.

 C214

    "Di Chen, you''ve finished cultivating," Mo Xun sat beside Di Chen, and during these two days, she saw that Di Chen had been cultivating and did not disturb him.


    Di Chen stretched his body and laughed: "You''ve broken through to the eighth level of the Martial King realm, and your injuries have recovered?"


    Mo Xun nodded her head again and again, and she asked doubtfully: "I remember you saying that you have the six stages of a Martial King, how did you cultivate so fast, and how were you able to absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood before?"


    The demonic beast''s flesh could be used for concocting pills and refining pills, but Di Chen was able to absorb it instantly. This was Mo Xun''s first time seeing such a strange technique.


    Di Chen did not hide anything and said: "I previously swallowed a Pearl of Life, as long as I can absorb it and convert it to my energy. Don''t look at how I can''t cultivate my spirit energy like ordinary warriors and can''t use my cultivation technique, I just train faster."


    Furthermore, Di Chen''s strength was not ordinary strength. His strength was strong enough to directly break through many cultivation methods, and was even more terrifying than some demonic beast s.


    Mo Xun said with a face full of envy: "The way you cultivate is very powerful and the power of warriors is also strong, with your current strength, you should at least be able to deal with the people from Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm."


    Di Chen frowned as he thought deeply for a while before analyzing: "I absorbed a Erysipelas, so my strength right now is much stronger than ordinary Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm cultivators, but I am still unable to defeat them just by relying on my strength alone. However, my cultivation is at the fifth level of King Wen, and I am able to unleash the Blast Character Formula''s Turtle Carnage formula, so there aren''t many who can defeat me by combining the two."


    Of course, nothing was absolute. There were too many strong cultivators in the Martial Region Continent, and there were also many that could defeat Di Chen.


    Mo Xun was different from Di Chen. She was an ice attribute martial artist, so she could only refine ice attribute or water attribute demonic beast ''spirit pellets.


    "Hmm?" Right at this moment, Di Chen suddenly felt a Qi fluctuation outside, his gaze became serious, he suddenly stood up, pulled Mo Xun behind him, and coldly looked outside.


    Mo Xun had not felt a trace of an aura so she asked suspiciously, "What''s wrong?"


    Di Chen said seriously: "Someone is coming, and he is emitting killing intent."


    A few seconds later, a man and a woman entered the cave. It was He Tong and He Xin.


    "He Clan?" Mo Xun noticed the characters embroidered on their clothes, and instantly recognized their identities. Her eyes were cold, and her killing intent surged, the He family and the Mo Family had never been on good terms, and upon seeing them, they would definitely fight to the death, which was why Mo Xun did not like the two of them.


    He then noticed the hostility on Mo Xun''s face and immediately understood the other party''s identity. He frowned: "Are you from Mo Family?"


    Mo Xun snorted, "So what? What are you guys doing here? "


    Mo Xun was far weaker than the other party in terms of strength, but she was not afraid of getting them excited. However, she knew how deep the hatred between the Mo Family and the He family was.


    He Tong suddenly saw a piece of Spirit Demon Bone on the ground. It was the bones of the Erysipelas.


    Di Chen didn''t want to start a conflict with them, so he explained: "Since this Erysipelas is attacking us, we had no choice."


    He Tong was a little surprised at first, he could tell that the cultivation levels of the two in front of him were not strong, but they were able to kill Erysipelas s. However, at this moment, he could not care about how Di Chen did it, and roared angrily: "You two have such guts, I paid an unknown price to tame this Erysipelas, and you two actually killed it, and even used the blood and flesh of Erysipelas s to cultivate, you two deserve to die."


    Furthermore, it was the Erysipelas that was tamed. Even He Tong''s hard work for a few years had been completely destroyed, how could he withstand this kind of anger?


    "Go and die," He Tong said no more, he took a step forward and punched ferociously, looking like he wanted to kill.


    Di Chen immediately pulled Mo Xun behind him, and hastily struck out with his fist, causing the two fists to collide. Di Chen was pushed back three steps, and He Tong was pushed back six steps, so in terms of strength, Di Chen was still stronger.


    "So strong?" He Tong was surprised, he was confident in his own strength, but the person in front of him was actually stronger than him?


    "Third Uncle, don''t hold back. Let''s attack together." As He Xin said that, he brandished his Spirit Sword and slashed towards Di Chen, his sword light shining brightly.


    Di Chen then punched He Xin. The tip of his fist was surrounded by a strong wind, and with a sound, He Xin''s Spirit Sword was bounced back, while He Xin also took a few steps back due to the shock.


    He Tong once again brandished his spiked club, and it was as if he could feel a strong force pressing down on him, this force was not weaker than that of the Erysipelas.


    Di Chen also welcomed the attack with his own fist, but the powerful impact knocked He Tong''s mace away once again.


    "What exactly is going on with this fellow? Is he able to resist our spirit weapon with just his brute strength?"


    He Tong''s face was full of shock. He used an Earth Tool, but the opponent''s brute strength was able to block it?


    He Xin Yuan rushed into the sword, and after quickly slashing twice, two sword beams shot towards Di Chen in a cross. This was the He family''s cross sword technique.


    This time, Di Chen did not dare to use the quantity of the brute strength to resist the sword technique, he immediately retreated, and at the same time, took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it, and threw it out.


    Bang! With a loud noise, a huge explosion spread throughout the cave, causing the blade of the cross blade to crumble, because it was relatively close, it was blown away, one of its arms was broken, blood gushed out, and the Spirit Sword s shattered as well.


    "What''s going on?" He Xin was shocked. This strike actually destroyed his Earth Grade equipment?


    "Blood Dragon''s Kill," He Tong brandished the mace once again, and a dragon''s roar came out, as if this mace was trapping a huge dragon. Then, the mace smashed towards Di Chen, and Di Chen could faintly see a layer of dragon shadow permeating the mace.


    Just now, he had already used the Blast Character Formula, so he no longer had the ability to use it a second time. He could only hastily receive it with a punch, but the opponent was using a technique, it was too dangerous for Di Chen to fight head on with his brute strength.


    With Di Chen''s current strength, he could easily defeat ordinary Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm users, but it was clear that these two were not ordinary warriors. They were He family''s geniuses, and one of them was enough to force Di Chen to use the Blast Character Formula.


    "Ice Crystal Shield," Mo Xun suddenly raised her Method of travelling, and used her spirit energy to form an ice shield in front of Di Chen.


    He Tong''s mace smashed onto the ice shield, but Mo Xun was merely using the Martial King''s six stages. The ice crystal shield that she used was simply unable to withstand a single blow from He Tong, and the ice shield was instantly shattered.


    Fortunately, the ice crystal shield had weakened the power of the Wolf Fanged Mace. Although Di Chen was heavily injured, he did not face any life-threatening danger.


    "I want to see how many times you can take it," He Tong said as he strode forward and swung down with his spiked mace again. If he was hit again, Di Chen would most likely die.


    "Freeze!" Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper and threw it out. A strange force rushed into He Tong''s body, causing his body to freeze.


    "Is this a martial art with talent?" He Tong suddenly realized that he seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and his body couldn''t move. However, this control wasn''t strong enough, and with a loud roar, He Tong was able to struggle free from the force.


    The strength of a fifth level King Wen was basically unable to control a single Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm practitioner, but it was fortunate that it had still slowed his pace.


    "Xun Er ¡­" The reason he had activated the formula was actually just to give Mo Xun more time.


    Mo Xun immediately understood as the spirit energy turned into a gust of cold air and gushed towards He Tong.


    "You want to trap me with such a cultivation technique?" However, just as he was about to struggle free from Mo Xun, he grabbed onto the Method of travelling again and froze He Tong once more. For a while, He Tong was actually unable to get rid of it.


    Di Chen knew that Mo Xun was trying to buy him time, so he immediately took out a piece of paper with the word turtle on it and threw it out. Then, the power of the scholars poured into it and the word turtle flashed.


    "What kind of cultivation technique is this?" He Xin was shocked. It was the first time someone had turned someone else into a turtle, but when she turned someone into a turtle, she had no way of resisting. She didn''t even have the heart to immediately rush at He Tong.


    Di Chen rushed to the side of the package before he could, and kicked the tortoise''s body, sending He Tong flying and smashing heavily onto the wall. At the same time, the tortoise turned back into He Tong, but He Tong, who was kicked by Di Chen, received heavy injuries and was no longer able to fight.


    He didn''t intend to help He Tong up so he anxiously asked: "Third brother, how are you?"


    "I''m fine," He Tong resisted the urge to vomit blood, looked at Di Chen and said: "You are not from Mo Family, just who are you?"


    Di Chen chuckled: "My name is Di Chen, I''m temporarily staying in Mo Family."


    He Xin asked, "Your cultivation technique is strange, and you don''t have any spirit energy fluctuations when you use it, you''re not a martial artist."


    Anyone who could cultivate to the level of a Martial King would definitely not be an ordinary person, but why did they suddenly not be able to tell what kind of cultivator Di Chen was?


    Di Chen did not try to hide it and said: "I am literati, so when I used my cultivation technique, I naturally did not have any soul force, and your Erysipelas were indeed killed by me, but I did it to protect my life, so I can let you off this time, but if you continue to pester me, then I will not be polite."


    Mo Xun realized that Di Chen actually did not have the intention to kill them, and immediately said: "Di Chen, quickly kill them. Otherwise, when they recover, you will definitely kill us."


    The grudge between the Mo Family and the He family was very deep, so Mo Xun obviously didn''t want to see Di Chen still alive.


    He Xin and He Tong''s expressions changed when they heard this, they stared straight at Di Chen, afraid that he would really kill them.


    Di Chen thought that his own technique had already been exposed, if he met them again, it would not be so easy to defeat them, but they were still members of the He family, and Di Chen did not want to offend such a big family for no reason. After thinking about it, he shook his head, but seeing that Di Chen shook his head, he felt relieved, but Mo Xun stomped her feet in anger.

 C215

    The reason why Di Chen didn''t kill him and He Tong was because he believed that the two of them wouldn''t be able to defeat him with their current strength, so he wasn''t worried. He thought for a moment and picked up He Tong''s spiked club.


    "What are you doing?" He Tong saw that Di Chen actually wanted to snatch his Wolf Fanged Mace, and was immediately enraged. This was a high grade Earth Rank weapon, how could it be snatched away by someone else?


    Di Chen ignored He Tong and weighed the Wolf Fanged Mace in his hand. The two words on the Wolf Fanged Mace were carved with the words "Heaven Stomp", and its weight reached fifty thousand kilograms. It was made with Demon Bone and Outer Space Mystical Iron.


    "Give it to me," Di Chen said shamelessly. "You injured us, so this is your compensation."


    "You ¡­" He Tong almost wanted to fight with Di Chen when he heard this, why should I give you my Earth Artifact?


    However, He Tong''s injuries were currently too severe, and he was unable to defeat Di Chen, so he could only endure.


    Di Chen kept his pestle, and without further ado, he left together with Mo Xun.


    He Tong coldly looked at Di Chen''s back, and said angrily: "Wait until Second Brother comes, I will definitely kill him."


    He Xin said in a low voice: "Not only him, even the Mo Family''s people must die too."


    The two of them spoke as they supported each other and left, heading towards the north-east. Two hours later, they arrived at a certain place in the Heart Lake, where a long-haired elegant man was fishing, he was the second brother of the He family, He Shao.


    "Second brother ¡­" He Tong wanted to say something.


    He Shao made a gesture of silence. He Tong knew that He Shao never liked people disturbing him, so he kept quiet and waited.


    With a sudden swing of the fishing rod, a golden carp was flung out. This golden carp was about one metre long, and with a body covered in gold, he could faintly see the small claws of his four limbs on his lower abdomen. However, if one did not look carefully, they would not even be able to discover it.


    "This carp actually has the possibility of transforming into a dragon," He Xin was surprised when he saw it, the legend said that the golden carp could transform into a dragon just by jumping over the dragon gate, but of course, this was just a legend, in reality, many carp have absorbed enough Spiritual Energy s to evolve into a dragon, and this golden carp had already produced claws, which also meant that there was a possibility that the carp could transform into a dragon.


    He Shao laughed out loud: "I''ve finally caught this carp after fishing here for more than a year, with it, I can break through the fifth stage of the Martial King."


    If they could also eat some of this carp''s meat, they would be able to break through their Martial Monarch Level.


    "Oh right," He Shao kept the carp and asked, looking at the two of them, "How did you end up in such a sorry state?"


    He Tong was a little angry thinking about it, and said: "When I met the people from the Mo Family, they killed my Erysipelas, and even stole my heaven''s pestle."


    Without the Erysipelas and the Sky Pestle, He Tong''s strength was at least 30% weaker than before. Previously, he could still be ranked in the He family, but now, he would be suppressed by a lot of people.


    "Mo Family?" He Shao slightly raised his brows and said: "Someone who can kill the Erysipelas and take away your heaven''s pestle must be at least in the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm. There are many of such realms within the young generation of Mo Family, who could it be?"


    He Xin shook his head and said, "One of them is from the Mo Family, and his cultivation is around the seventh level of the Martial King realm. The other one is not, probably, a guest elder of the Mo Family, and he''s a literati. But I don''t know his specific realm, but his overall strength is no weaker than a ninth level Martial King."


    "literati?" He Shao had been cultivating for so many years, yet he had never met a literati before. Curiosity suddenly rose in his heart, and after thinking for a bit, he said: "Bring me there."


    Di Chen and Mo Xun left the cave and found a safe place. First, they recovered their injuries and the strength of a scholar, and then, they headed in Mo Yuner''s direction. The two of them knew that the He family would not give up.


    Mo Xun said in confusion: "Di Chen, those two He family members will definitely chase after us. Why did you let them go just now?


    Mo Xun was still unwilling. If it wasn''t for Di Chen stopping her, she would have already killed him.


    Di Chen took out the Sky Pestle to play with it for a while, thinking that with this Earth Artifact, his strength would be able to increase by another grade.


    Mo Xun had been together for the past few days, and sometimes she would subconsciously think of Di Chen as one of her own people, a member of the Mo Family. She thought that there was a feud between the Mo Clan and the He Clan, so Di Chen should exterminate the He Clan, but she was wrong, Di Chen was not a member of the Mo Family, so there was no need for him to offend the He Clan for the sake of the Mo Family.


    Mo Xun did not understand Di Chen''s thoughts, and was a little disapproving, but she did not say much.


    After walking forward for a day, they arrived at the east side of the Central Lake. This place was filled with Level 8 and 9 Demonic King, but luckily Di Chen was strong enough, so these ordinary Demonic King did not pose much of a threat to him.


    "We can''t go any further," Di Chen stopped and said: "The demonic aura ahead is very dense, I feel that there is a Demon Emperor inside, if we go any further, I''m afraid it will be dangerous."


    Mo Xun said: "This is the only place Seventh Sister has to pass through. We''ll wait for her here."


    Di Chen thought that he could still deal with the Demonic King in this place, but it would be safer to wait here.


    Crash! *


    At this moment, the roars of birds and beasts could be heard from behind him and the occasional sound of explosions could be heard.


    "Not good," Di Chen said as his expression changed, "They must be chasing us. Let''s go."


    They were not as cautious as Di Chen and Mo Xun. This meant that the Demonic King s could not stop the footsteps of the two, and there must be a Martial Monarch Level Ranker amongst them, otherwise they would not be able to be so arrogant.


    Mo Xun said anxiously: "Di Chen, what should we do, Seventh Sister does not know when she will come out, we cannot wait forever here."


    Di Chen thought that since this place was filled with demonic beast, he wouldn''t be able to bring Mo Xun along at a fast pace. Sooner or later, they would catch up to him, so he could only continue going deeper into the mountains, hoping that the Demon Emperor there could stop them.


    "Let''s go in," Di Chen said as he pulled Mo Xun and continued walking forward, even though it might be dangerous to continue walking.


    was very careful along the way, and he didn''t dare to move too quickly while holding onto Mo Xun''s hand!


    Roar!


    Just at this moment, wolf shadow s scuttled out from the forest one after another. These wolves ranged from level 7 to 9, and they were covered in black fur, this was the Heavenly Demonic Wolf, a very commonly seen but cruel wolf species. The Demonic Wolf surrounded the two of them and growled.


    "Di Chen..." Mo Xun was a little afraid. This was the first time she had encountered so many Demonic Wolf.


    "Don''t be afraid," Di Chen comforted his. If it was before, Di Chen might have still been afraid, but now that Lang Chen had broken through to the eighth level of the Martial King realm and even had this pestle, he could rely on brute strength to kill these Demonic Wolf. Furthermore, Di Chen still had the Blast Character Formula, so he had to be careful if Di Chen wanted to protect Mo Xun.


    At this time, from the left side, a Demonic Wolf rushed over, it was a level eight Demonic King.


    Di Chen immediately took his pestle and smashed onto the Demonic Wolf, with a loud bang, the pestle fiercely smashed onto the Demonic Wolf''s body, causing it to fly directly, and its internal organs ruptured and it died on the spot.


    When the other Demonic Wolf saw this, they immediately pounced towards Di Chen, who welcomed it with his Sky Pestle. His strength was originally strong, and with the Sky Pestle''s power, Di Chen could kill one Demonic Wolf with each attack.


    Mo Xun also started using her technique, her strength had increased a lot, but with Di Chen''s help to protect her life, it was not a problem, it was just that there were too many Heavenly Demonic Wolf, so they kept rushing over. In the next moment, Di Chen killed countless of them, but he exhausted most of his energy, and Mo Xun''s spirit energy was exhausted too.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen thought that these Heavenly Demonic Wolf were not strong, but it was time for him to leave after killing so many of them.


    There must be a Wolf King hiding nearby, and it was very likely that this Wolf King had already reached the realm of Demon Emperor, but even if there was a Wolf King, Di Chen would not be able to escape.


    At the same time!


    Not far away, He Shao calmly looked at Di Chen and Mo Xun, and laughed: "It''s them?"


    He Tong clenched his teeth and said: "It''s them who killed the Erysipelas and stole my Sky Pestle. Second brother, go kill him."


    He Shao waved his hand and said: "There''s no rush, let''s take a look first. Although this guy is a literati, his strength is surprisingly strong.


    What was powerful about literati was naturally the scholar''s technique, but up until now, Di Chen had not used a scholar''s technique even once. He Shao was a little surprised, in his heart this fellow was definitely not an ordinary person, but as for Mo Xun, he had completely ignored him.


    Di Chen did not know that his battle was being watched. He was desperately killing Demonic Wolf s, which had all died in Di Chen''s hands. The ground was covered with their corpses, and after a while, the demons no longer dared to attack him.


    Just then, a round of applause came out from the side. It was so sudden that even Di Chen did not realise it.


    Di Chen suddenly turned his head around, and saw two men and one woman standing not far away. had seen two of them before, they were the He family members from before.


    Di Chen quickly pulled Mo Xun behind him, and vigilantly looked at the three of them.


    He Tong snorted: "You stole my heaven''s pestle, you did not expect me to find it again right? I want to see how you will run today."


    Di Chen tried his best to remain calm: "I''ve already let you go, why are you still pestering me?"


    He Xin said coldly, "Do you think that we will let you off just because you don''t kill us? You deserve to die for offending our He Clan."


    Mo Xun was not someone who would tolerate energy and swallow it whole like Di Chen. She was an impulsive and irascible Girl and choked: "Don''t you guys go overboard, do you really think that our Mo Family is afraid of you?"


    "You''re courting death," He Tong wanted to attack Mo Xun when he saw how arrogant he was.


    He Shao immediately held out his hand to stop He Tong, and said while looking at Di Chen: "You are a literati, why are you so strong?"


    Every single warrior that met Di Chen would ask this question. It had to be known that a scholar was stronger than a warrior, that was something that was unique.

 C216

    Di Chen did not hide anything and calmly replied: "I had swallowed a Pearl of Life a few years ago, so I was able to raise my strength by absorbing the Demonic King''s flesh and blood. However, my body does not have any Origin Energy, so I am not able to use it."


    In reality, Di Chen who did not have any spirit force was unable to imbue the spirit weapon, so using the spirit weapon required spirit energy. Di Chen was also unable to unleash the power of the spirit weapon, but the Sky Pestle was known for its power, and even if Di Chen did not use spirit energy, it was still not weak.


    Hearing this, He Shao and the other two were surprised, Pearl of Life was the thing that warriors yearned for the most, with it, even training in it would be twice the result with half the effort, yet today such a rare treasure was obtained by a literati?


    So that''s how it is, "He Shao stared at Di Chen for a while before laughing out loud:" You have the power of the Pearl of Life, although it merged with your own, but in reality, it''s not like there''s no way to separate your strength, if I had that power, I would have levelled up even faster. "


    Di Chen''s face changed when he heard this. This was the first time he heard someone say that the power of a Pearl of Life could be separated.


    "Hurry, let''s go," Di Chen did not dare to stay, and immediately pulled Mo Xun and ran.


    "Trying to run?" With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept towards Di Chen, bringing Di Chen and the rest of his body with it as he crashed into the ground in a sorry state, throwing the pestle to the side.


    He Tong immediately picked up the Sky Pestle and said excitedly: "I''ve finally gotten back this Earth Artifact."


    He was confident that he would be able to defeat Di Chen if he took back the Earth Tool, and then directly used the Earth Tool to smash it towards Di Chen: "You dare to steal my item, go and die."


    Di Chen immediately took out a few pieces of paper with the word "spear" written on it. The power of a scholar flowed into them, following that, a spear shot towards He Tong.


    He Tong immediately used his Sky Pestle to parry the pikes, and with every attack, he easily destroyed a pike. The Spear Arts was indeed a little weak for He Tong, but luckily it stopped him in his tracks.


    Di Chen continued to pull Mo Xun away, but before he could take a step, he suddenly changed his direction.


    As an expert of Martial Monarch Level, He Shao naturally did not think that he could escape. He was not anxious at all, his body flashed, and in the next moment, he was in front of Di Chen.


    Di Chen pointed to the distance and said: "I know that I can''t escape, but do you really want to kill me here?"


    He Shao looked towards the direction Di Chen pointed. There was a six meters long Demonic Wolf, its eyes were as black as ink, and behind it was a group of Heavenly Demonic Wolf.


    "A Demon Emperor level Wolf King?" He Shao''s expression changed slightly, the Demonic Wolf''s strength was not weaker than his, and he did not dare be careless, as he stared at the Demonic Wolf warily. He finally knew why Di Chen was running towards this place, it was because he wanted to lure him to the Wolf King.


    Di Chen knew that he had no way of resisting He Lu, so he simply ran over to the Wolf King.


    As He Shao was a Demon Emperor, the Wolf King was naturally also staring at him. For a moment, none of the three forces made a move, they only looked at the other party vigilantly.


    "Second brother, what do we do?" He Tong asked softly, he did not dare to act rashly.


    Second Brother, even if you can deal with the Wolf King, the other Demonic King will kill us. Let''s just leave this place first, I don''t think the Wolf King will easily attack you. "


    He Shao looked at Di Chen, as though he was unwilling, if he were to leave, Di Chen would definitely be devoured by the Demonic Wolf, and obtaining the strength of the Pearl of Life would be impossible.


    "It''s too dangerous for you to stay here. How about I send you away?" He Shao did not dare to make any moves, for even the slightest resistance on his part would attract the attention of the Demonic Wolf.


    Di Chen laughed: "Leaving with you is still death, why should I follow you?"


    He Shao advised: "Although I will separate your Pearl of Life''s power from your body, it will not harm your life, and at least it will be better than having you be eaten by these Demonic Wolf."


    Initially, he had wanted to say that he would not strip away Di Chen''s Pearl of Life''s power, but this seemed to be too fake and no one would believe him, so he could only say that he did not want to kill Di Chen.


    How could Di Chen not understand what He Shao was thinking? He sneered: "Although I don''t know how you stripped away my Pearl of Life''s power, but I guessed that once you stripped away my Pearl of Life''s power, I would die. So what if I didn''t die?


    He Shao also knew that he couldn''t lie to Di Chen, so he didn''t say anymore. His body swayed, and he grabbed towards Di Chen, intending to forcefully bring him away.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it, pinched the Method of travelling, and the word "explode." A powerful force swept the surroundings, and with He Shao''s Martial Monarch Level, this power naturally could not injure him, but he had beheaded a few Demonic Wolf which pounced towards the two of them excitedly. At the same time, the Wolf King also pounced towards He Shao, because He Shao''s cultivation was the strongest, the moment the Demonic Wolf realized that it would be He Shao who took the first attack.


    He Shao never thought that Di Chen would be so daring, he had no choice but to face the Wolf King. Although He Shao would not be able to kill the Wolf King in a short time, it was obvious that he had the upper hand.


    At the same time, He Tong and He Xin were also surrounded by the Demonic Wolf, but Di Chen and Mo Xun kept on retreating as they fought. They kept going deeper, and the group of Demonic Wolf followed closely behind Di Chen and Mo Xun, who could not escape at all.


    Ten minutes later, He Shao and the other two caught up to them again. They were all covered in blood and looked to be in a sorry state, but since they were here, it meant that the Demonic Wolf were dead.


    "What a cunning fellow," He Shao coldly looked at the two of them and said. "I''ll see how you two can still run now."


    He Tong said angrily: "You caused us such heavy injuries, both of you are going to die."


    "There''s no need to say anymore," He Xin was too lazy to say anymore and directly grabbed towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen cursed in his heart. Just now, he had used up all of his powers as a scholar, but he could not defend against this strike.


    Mo Xun''s face also changed slightly, but right at that moment, a lady suddenly flew down from the sky, and blocked in front of Di Chen and, holding onto a Spirit Sword, she cut He Xin into two halves, his internal organs flowing all over the ground, looking extremely horrifying.


    "What do you mean?" He Tong asked in shock.


    When Mo Xun saw this, she let out a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "Seventh Sister, you finally came."


    The reason why Di Chen made such a big fuss was to attract Mo Yuner''s attention, but Mo Yuner managed to get back in time.


    Mo Yuner looked at Mo Xun and asked, "Are you alright?"


    Mo Xun shook her head. Although she was injured, her life wasn''t in danger.


    Mo Yuner''s gaze landed on He Shao again, and said coldly: "He Shao, you''re really courting death, you actually dare to have ideas about my Mo Family."


    He Shao seemed to be a little afraid of Mo Yuner, and said softly: "Mo Yuner, it was your Mo Family people who made the first move."


    Previously, he would kill Mo Xun without asking for the reason, but now, he had explained the reason to him.


    Mo Xun said angrily: "Nonsense, it was obviously your He Clan who made the first move."


    Mo Yuner waved her hand: "There''s no need to explain this to him, you can just directly kill them."


    Mo Yuner was different from Mo Xun, she was never reasonable, she did not care who attacked first, He Shao deserved to die just now.


    He Shao also knew that there was nothing more he could say. He took a big stride and flew towards Mo Yuner, a terrifying power engulfing him like a flood.


    Mo Yuner did not show any signs of weakness, she summoned her Spirit Sword and slashed at He Shao. The two powerful forces clashed and sand flew and rocks flew, and trees were uprooted, forming a layer of land.


    "Is this the strength of Martial King?" He immediately pulled Mo Xun and left the place. He noticed that Mo Yuner seemed to be slightly stronger than He Shao, and her gaze landed on He Tong once again. He Tong was standing alone in the distance, and this was a good opportunity.


    Di Chen suddenly took a step towards He Tong, wanting to use this chance to kill him.


    "It''s you again," He Tong also noticed Di Chen, and immediately raised his pestle to attack him.


    "I spared your life before, I didn''t think you would still want to kill me. You deserve to die," Di Chen said as he surged with the power of a scholar.


    He Tong''s body froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his ability to move, and snorted: "You want to trap me with this technique?"


    With that said, he raised his pestle and struck towards Di Chen, he knew that Di Chen was not weak, so he did not hold back in his attack.


    Di Chen pointed behind He Tong and laughed, "I don''t have any plans to trap you, she was the one who planned to trap you."


    It was unknown when Mo Xun had appeared behind He Tong, but she pinched the Method of travelling and a wave of cold air gushed out.


    "Not good," He Tong cried out inwardly. His spirit energy gushed out and immediately broke free from the ice. Although he had only controlled He Tong for a second, that one second was enough for Di Chen to kill him.


    Di Chen stepped in front of He Tong and smashed his chest with a heavy punch. The scorching power entered He Tong''s body and with a miserable cry, He Tong felt as if his body was on fire. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    "Bastard, I''ll kill you," He Tong pointed at the center of his brows and a demonic snake shot out from between his eyebrows and bit towards Di Chen.


    "Snake martial soul?" This kind of martial soul was actually not strong enough, Di Chen punched the demon serpent, the blazing power striking the demon serpent''s body, the demon serpent twisted, and immediately after, disappeared.


    "My martial soul," He Tong said in shock. This time, he was truly afraid, not only was this guy strong, he also seemed to be burning hot. This kind of boiling heat was just enough to suppress all the martial soul.


    Di Chen laughed, he took another step forward to face He Tong, and with another punch at He Tong''s chest, He Tong who had been punched twice collapsed to the ground, spitting another mouthful of blood before falling to the ground and dying.


    Although Di Chen was injured now, it would not be difficult to kill a warrior like He Tong.

 C217

    "He Tong..." He Shao''s face was filled with shock, he did not expect that even He Tong was killed, so he took a big stride towards Di Chen, wanting to kill him.


    Mo Yuner took a step in front of He Shao. With a tap of the Spirit Sword, a ray of sword qi directly pierced through He Shao''s body, bringing him flying backwards.


    "He Shao, you are also only at the fourth stage of the Martial King. I am already at the fifth stage of the Martial King.


    Mo Yuner said in a low voice: "Killing them in front of me is simply courting death."


    He Shao knew that he wouldn''t be able to defeat Mo Yuner and he would also get killed if this continued. He shouted in a low voice, "Mo Yuner, you will have to pay a price if you want to kill me."


    After speaking, he took out a fist-sized bead from his bosom. This bead was scarlet in color and had lightning curling on its surface, as it directly smashed towards Mo Yuner. This was a Thunderclap, a spirit weapon unique to the He Family.


    Mo Yuner also knew that this Thunder Pulse Pearl was very powerful. Her expression changed and she immediately turned into a rainbow of light, but she was still a step too late.


    With a loud explosion, a lightning ripple spread out, and Mo Yuner was within the range of the explosion. Her body was charred black by the electric shock, one of her arms turned to ashes, blood flowing out.


    Although He Shao was the user of the Thunder Pulse Pearl, because he was too close, he was injured by the explosion. However, compared to Mo Yuner, it was much better.


    "Mo Yuner, let''s see how you''ll block me this time," He Shao said as he leapt forward and punched towards Mo Yuner. The injured Mo Yuner had no strength left to resist as her entire body felt a piercing pain.


    "Seventh Sister ¡­" Mo Xun''s face was filled with fear, he just wanted to save Mo Yuner.


    "I''ll go, you stay here," Di Chen said as he pulled Mo Xun back to him, then quickly rushed in front of Mo Yuner.


    Mo Yuner didn''t think that Di Chen would come to his rescue, it was just that Di Chen only had Martial King Realm, how could he resist a Martial King?


    "Di Chen, you can''t stop him, so hurry up and bring Xun Er away," Mo Yuner was not afraid of death, but she was very worried that Mo Xun would be in danger, so she let Di Chen take Mo Xun and leave.


    However, Di Chen did not listen to Mo Yuner and continued to block in front of him.


    "A Martial King wants to block me?" He Shao did not even put Di Chen in his eyes, and pounced towards Di Chen with large strides: "Since you want to court death, then I''ll kill you first."


    Di Chen immediately tapped the center of his brows and rays of light shot out. These rays of light were like needles, illuminating the entire space.


    "martial spirit of light?" He Shao was shocked, this was the first time he saw someone actually cultivating in martial spirit of light, the bright light made him unable to open his eyes, and he used his hand to shield his eyes.


    "Xun Er, quickly go," Di Chen shouted, and then carried the immobilized Mo Yuner, who followed closely behind.


    After a while, the light finally stopped shining, and He Shao''s vision returned to normal. His skin was pierced with many needles, and fresh blood flowed out, his clothes were dyed red, but his realm was still stronger than Di Chen''s and he wasn''t in any danger of losing his life. He noticed that Di Chen was already running several hundred meters away while carrying Mo Yuner.


    He Shao chased after the three of them. Although he was also injured, his speed was still faster than Di Chen''s, who was carrying Mo Yuner.


    Mo Yuner saw that He Shao was getting closer and closer to him, and anxiously said: "Di Chen, don''t worry about me, quickly bring Xun Er and leave this place."


    Mo Xun shook her head: "No, Di Chen, you lead Seventh Sister to go first, I''ll stop him."


    She did not want to implicate Mo Yuner, so she suddenly stopped and rushed towards He Shao.


    "Xun Er, don''t go," Mo Yuner did not expect Mo Xun to do this, even if she wanted to stop him, it would be too late.


    Di Chen originally wanted to stop Mo Xun, but it was already too late. He clenched his teeth and carried Mo Yuner as he ran.


    Mo Xun blocked in front of He Shao. She touched the center of her brows and a cold energy surged out, the cold energy froze everything around him into ice, even He Shao''s body became shrouded in a layer of ice. Although Mo Xun was not He Shao''s match, she could still barely slow the injured He Shao down.


    "Bastard, go die," He Shao waved his hand, a gust of wind blew Mo Xun away, but his target was not Mo Xun, so he continued to chase after Di Chen.


    Mo Xun crawled up from the ground and blocked in front of He Shao. In the end, she was once again sent flying by He Shao, but she still stubbornly ran back and repeated herself a few times.


    "Mo Xun, you are courting death," He Shao had lost both Di Chen and Mo Yuner, both of them were very important to him, one of them was someone he wanted to take revenge on, the other was an important figure in his cultivation, but now that the two of them had escaped, it would be difficult to capture them again.


    However, just as he was about to kill Mo Xun, he stopped himself. Mo Xun was Mo Yuner''s sister, he was afraid that if he could control her, he would not be unable to find Mo Yuner. In the end, he would still have a chance.


    Seeing that Mo Xun had been heavily injured by him several times, Mo Yuner was so anxious that she kept urging him to stop. She even wanted to struggle out of her embrace, but the injury was too heavy for her to escape.


    Di Chen did not pay attention to Mo Yuner and continued to run. Mo Yuner was so angry that she scolded loudly, but Di Chen did not listen, and in the end, disappeared from He Shao''s sight. In the instant that he left, Mo Yuner only saw Mo Xun being struck and flying, and did not know if she was dead or alive.


    "Let me go ¡­" Di Chen did not know how many times he ran, but he finally recovered some strength. She struggled free from Di Chen and tumbled to the ground, but he couldn''t stand up, so she crawled back.


    Di Chen helped Mo Yuner up, and said: "You''ve suffered such heavy injuries, even if you go back, it''s useless. The most important thing right now is to quickly recover."


    Mo Yuner looked at Di Chen angrily, when suddenly, she slapped Di Chen''s face, which was not light, and directly caused a palm to mark on his face.


    Di Chen did not resist but Mo Yuner still did not let her anger go. She slapped Di Chen again, all the way until Di Chen''s face turned completely red.


    She roared angrily: Di Chen, Xun Er is not bad to you, why are you not saving me?


    How could Di Chen not want to save Xun Er? At that time, he was simply unable to save her, so he rushed back, not to mention Xun Er, even if he and Mo Yuner were killed, he could understand Mo Yuner''s feelings, so he did not argue with her.


    Mo Yuner stared deadly at Di Chen, as though she had the impulse to kill him. Di Chen did not refute her, and after a while, Mo Yuner still did not make a move.


    Her injuries were severe, and it would be difficult for her to recover in a short period of time. Fortunately, she was safe here, so she didn''t have to worry about enemy attacks.


    Di Chen also started to recover from her injuries, there were some pills that Mo Xun had given his previously, and her injuries recovered quickly. He then started to copy and recover his strength, and after a few hours, Di Chen was almost fully recovered.


    The second day, Mo Yuner''s injuries and elemental energy had also completely recovered. After a day, she finally managed to calm down.


    "He Shao wants to kill us so badly, he probably won''t kill Mo Xun rashly. He will definitely use him as bait."


    Mo Yuner said in a low voice: "This is my chance, this time I will definitely kill him."


    Di Chen shook his head: "It won''t be that easy, He Shao will not fight with you recklessly this time, maybe he found other helpers."


    Mo Yuner''s face became gloomy, of all the people in the Mo Family, she was the only one, but she did not know if there were any other She family members present, if there were any other Martial King, she would not be able to kill He Shao.


    Di Chen knew that it was impossible to save Mo Xun by force. He thought for a while and said: "He Shao wholeheartedly wants to obtain the power of the Pearl of Life in my body. I will exchange it with Mo Xun, he will definitely agree."


    Mo Yuner stared blankly, then immediately objected: "No, He Shao will definitely kill you. I will forcefully save Xun Er and come back, there''s no need for you to throw your life away."


    She had always only cared about Mo Xun''s safety, but this time, she was unwilling to use Di Chen''s life in exchange for Mo Xun''s.


    Di Chen was surprised that Mo Yuner did not agree, he shook his head and said: "It is not that easy, with just a slight problem, Xun Er will be in danger, I think it is better to follow my method."


    "But ¡­" Mo Yuner still wanted to oppose it; she really didn''t want to see Di Chen in danger.


    Di Chen immediately said. Mo Xun had been pretty good to him during this period of time, so she couldn''t just watch her die.


    Mo Yuner knew that there was no other way, and in the end, still agreed to Di Chen''s request.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen said. "If we go back too late, He Shao might find someone else for help. This way, it''ll be even more dangerous."


    Mo Yuner nodded, and asked in a daze: "Di Chen, aren''t you literati, how did you learn about martial spirit of light?"


    This martial spirit of light was extremely rare, many warriors wouldn''t be able to learn it. But Di Chen, a scholar, was actually able to cultivate the martial spirit of light, if this were to spread, who knows how many people would be shocked, but this would also bring danger to Di Chen. Many people would think of the martial spirit of light.


    Di Chen thought about what happened in Ling''an City and said: "My clan members were killed by their enemies, I was heavily injured, and when I was at the brink of death, I learnt the martial spirit of light, so the heavens must have never stopped me."


    Even Di Chen himself found the matter somewhat inconceivable, he would not use it often after cultivating the martial spirit of light. After all, his body was still very weak, so the price of using it was huge, but it was also thanks to the fact that was able to preserve his life many times.


    Mo Yuner thought that although she did not kill Di Chen back then, bringing him back to Mo Family was the right decision. Now, he suddenly regretted even more, and wanted to hand Di Chen over to He Shao?


    He Shao would definitely think of a way to snatch the power of Di Chen''s Pearl of Life and martial spirit of light, if he was to obtain these two things, no one in the younger generation of Mo Family would be able to compare to him.


    Only, currently, Mo Yuner also had no choice. Compared to Di Chen, he still couldn''t bear to part with Mo Xun.

 C218

    Di Chen and Mo Yuner continued to return along the same path. A few hours later, they arrived at the place where they were battling He Shao. Mo Yuner''s thoughts were right, He Shao was still there, but his injuries had already recovered.


    "He Shao," Mo Yuner wanted to kill He Shao the moment she saw Mo Xun like this, but she did not dare act rashly.


    He Shao grabbed Mo Xun, and said with a cold smile: "Mo Yuner, I know that I can''t beat you, but don''t act recklessly either, if not, don''t blame me for being rude, I will kill Mo Xun."


    Previously, He Shao had injured Mo Yuner with the Thunder Pulse Pearl, but this time, Mo Yuner was prepared. Moreover, the Thunder Pulse Pearl was not an ordinary object, and He Shao only had one of it.


    Di Chen said calmly: "Xun Er is useless to you, don''t you want the power of my Pearl of Life? How about this, I will exchange myself with Mo Xun?"


    He Shao originally had this thought, but after hearing this, he was immediately overjoyed: "You asked for it."


    "No," Mo Xun loudly retorted, "Di Chen, he will kill you, you can''t do this."


    Although the He family was not some Devil Dao family, in reality, some of the He family members were extremely fierce, this He Shao was one of them, what kind of fate would Di Chen end up in his hands?


    Furthermore, Mo Xun also knew that it was very difficult to extract power from a person''s body.


    He Shao grabbed Mo Xun''s neck and said coldly: "This has nothing to do with you. If you dare say another word, be careful, I might kill you right now."


    "He Shao..." Seeing He Shao trying to move, Mo Yuner was enraged, she almost wanted to kill him.


    Di Chen glanced at Mo Xun. In reality, he had also been taken care of by Mo Xun during this period in Mo Family, and was considerably grateful to her. Earlier, he was still worried that Mo Xun would be killed by him, but now that he wasn''t dead, he naturally wouldn''t let anything happen to her.


    "Di Chen, don''t come over here ¡­" Mo Xun looked anxious, but she really didn''t know what to do.


    Di Chen laughed, and walked to He Shao''s side without hesitation.


    He Shao laughed as he grabbed Di Chen and pushed him towards Mo Yuner.


    Mo Yuner quickly caught Mo Xun and asked: "Xun Er, are you alright?"


    Mo Xun said anxiously: "Seventh Sister, I''m fine, hurry up and save Di Chen."


    Mo Yuner immediately took out her Spirit Sword, she did not dare to forcefully save Mo Xun, as it would hurt her. But Di Chen was different, she could try her best to save him, even if it would kill her.


    He Shao seemed to have long guessed that Mo Yuner would do this, he took out a yellow talisman and stuck it onto his body, causing a light to flash, then he turned into a ray of rainbow light and disappeared.


    Mo Yuner''s expression changed. This kind of talisman could escape ten miles away at one go, but there was no way to chase after it. She never thought that He Shao would actually prepare such a thing.


    Mo Xun''s face was full of anxiety as she said, "Seventh Sister, what should we do? She will kill Di Chen."


    Mo Yuner did not know what to do, it would definitely be too late to chase He Shao, so she let out a long sigh, thinking that she could only look at Di Chen now, but He Shao was not like her, who would still try to rope him in, seeing that Di Chen''s strength was not bad, he only wanted to obtain Di Chen''s strength.


    Seeing Mo Yuner not moving at all, Mo Xun knew that Mo Yuner had no other choice. Her eyes dimmed and buried her head into Mo Yuner''s chest, tears almost flowing out.


    Mo Yuner patted Mo Xun''s back, she knew that Mo Xun really liked Di Chen. Not to mention Mo Xun, but how could Mo Yuner ever want Di Chen to be in danger? Suddenly, she realised that her attitude towards Di Chen had changed a lot, this was the first time she forcefully brought Di Chen into the Mo Family without caring about his life and death, but now, she was extremely worried that something would happen to Di Chen, even she did not expect it to happen to Di Chen.


    Ten kilometers away, a ray of light descended and transformed into Di Chen and He Shao. Di Chen had never created the Ten Li Escape Emblem before, so he vomited the moment he landed.


    Di Chen wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at He Shao, and said: "No wonder you aren''t afraid of Mo Yuner at all, you''re already prepared."


    He Shao snorted: "I''m temporarily not Mo Yuner''s opponent, but once I steal your Pearl of Life''s power, I can defeat Mo Yuner, of course ¡­"


    Saying that, He Shao revealed a playful smile, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Your martial spirit of light is also not bad, if I can snatch your martial soul away, then I will have the chance to continue being a Family Head of the He family."


    He was confident that he wouldn''t be able to unleash the power of the martial spirit of light like Di Chen. If he was able to obtain the martial spirit of light, then his talent would increase by another level, and at that time, there wouldn''t be many people in the entire Martial Region Continent who could compare to him.


    In fact, it was normal for He Shao to think like that. The martial soul and the Pearl of Life had a huge impact on the warriors, but Di Chen was a literati.


    "Let''s go," He Shao said as he grabbed Di Chen and left, laughing, "It''s very difficult to extract the strength of your Pearl of Life, I still have to buy a lot of things."


    Extraction was not easy, it was just like refining pills. He Shao needed to prepare some ingredients, and without absolute confidence he would not dare act rashly, otherwise, if he did not draw out the power that he had used to kill Di Chen, it would be over.


    Di Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he might still be able to live for a while more, and finally had a chance.


    He Shao could immediately see through Di Chen''s thoughts, and laughed: "Don''t even think about escaping, I won''t give you the chance, let''s go."


    There was a small city called Crystal City 100 miles away from the Central Gazing Lake. Although this crystal city was small, it was connected to a few large cities and was also an important place for business. Two days later, Di Chen and He Shao arrived at the Crystal City.


    Crystal City was bustling with people, and there were strong practitioners everywhere. Some of them had already reached the level of Martial Saint, and there were also many devil paths.


    brought Di Chen into a shop. This shop was very big, called Shuiyue Workshop, and there was actually a Shuiyue Workshop in Youzhou City. Di Chen had some relationship with the owner of the shop there, but this Shuiyue Workshop was also just a branch pavilion.


    He Shao bought some materials, but luckily, it was too difficult for him to extract other people''s strength, so he wanted to buy a lot of things. Some things were hard to buy, which also gave Di Chen a greater chance to escape.


    "Hmm?" At this time, Di Chen suddenly saw three familiar faces, they were You Qin, You Xiang and Bai Xun. Previously, Di Chen had met them when he was training at the wizard tower s, Di Chen had defeated them and robbed them of their points, but he did not expect to meet them here.


    Beside them was a tall and cold woman. This woman wore a white robe, and her long blue hair draped over her shoulders. It seemed that she was at least from Martial Monarch Level.


    Although she had been defeated by Di Chen and had her points stolen, in reality, she was not angry at him. Instead, she was very curious about Di Chen.


    "It''s you," Bai Xun said with an angry smile when he thought about how Di Chen had stolen his points away.


    You Xiang and You Qin frowned, the two of them had no ill intentions towards Di Chen, but Bai Xun did not think that way, they did not wish for him to do so.


    He Shao also raised his eyebrows slightly, he did not know of Di Chen''s relationship with these guys, but they also had Martial King experts, which was not a good thing for him, so he could only watch coldly from the sidelines.


    Di Chen laughed: So it''s you guys, what''s wrong, could it be that you guys are unconvinced after getting my points, and still want to challenge me?


    Bai Xun clenched his teeth and said: "Di Chen, I know you are a literati, and I didn''t know your cultivation technique before, so I lost to you.


    Di Chen taunted: "The two of us are very different in terms of strength, even if I give you one more chance, you won''t be able to defeat me, so I advise you not to bring this upon yourself."


    "You ¡­" These words were said ironically, causing Bai Xun to almost want to fight to the death with Di Chen.


    Di Chen still had a cold and mocking face.


    and You Qin were a little doubtful, although they were not familiar with Di Chen, but this kind of Di Chen had a completely different personality when they first met him, before, Di Chen was not so arrogant, and would not intentionally anger others.


    "Di Chen, let''s go," how could He Shao not know what Di Chen was thinking about, he coldly said that and left, if he stayed any longer, both sides would probably clash, which would be disadvantageous for him.


    Di Chen did not dare to go against He Shao''s words and followed him to leave. After all, he did not place any hope on You Qin and the others, he did not believe that the people who had lost their points would save him.


    "Elder sister, do you feel that Di Chen is different from before?"


    You Xiang looked at Di Chen''s back with a weird expression, and said: "His strength is not bad, but he shouldn''t be an arrogant person."


    Bai Xun said angrily: "You Xiang, you aren''t familiar with him, how do you know what kind of person he is? Didn''t you hear what he said just now?


    You Qin thought: "We are not familiar with him, but this time he gave us a completely different feeling. Furthermore, both Sister Lan and Brother Yun are here, I do not believe that even though he could not see that we are stronger than them, but he would still intentionally anger you. Don''t you think that there''s something fishy?"


    Bai Xun was startled when he heard this, he secretly thought that even if this guy was arrogant, he wouldn''t mock him when he knew that his strength was weaker than his opponent''s. What was going on?

 C219

    "I think that the person called Di Chen is controlled by the person beside him."


    She was originally Jing Lan, a powerhouse at the fifth level of Martial King.


    "I think so too. He purposely provoked us so that we could start a fight and try to escape from it."


    His name was Ruo Yun, and he was also an expert at the fifth stage of the Martial King.


    You Xiang and You Qin were originally still suspicious, but after hearing this, they came to a realization. No wonder Di Chen didn''t seem to want to leave just now.


    Bai Xun, who knew the truth, laughed out loud. "So this guy is not far from death.


    You Xiang did not laugh. She thought for a while before asking, "Sis, should we go and save him?"


    Bai Xun was startled, he did not expect You Xiang to have such a thought, and immediately retorted: "No, this guy is not related to us at all, and he even stole our points, what right do we have to save him, and let him die."


    You Qin frowned. She was not close with Di Chen, and her points were stolen by him, so she should not have gone to save Di Chen. However, she was also a little curious about Di Chen and did not want to see him killed.


    Jing Lan suddenly asked, "You told me before that this Di Chen is a literati, right?"


    You Qin nodded her head: "Yes, his technique is very strange, I am not his opponent at all. The key thing is that his strength is stronger than most warriors, and she also cultivates in the martial spirit of light, so I am a little curious about him."


    Previously, You Qin did not tell anyone that Di Chen had trained in the martial spirit of light. Hearing this, everyone was stunned. And it''s even a martial spirit of light?


    Ruo Yun stared at Di Chen''s back and said: "Let''s go and take a look, maybe we will encounter some interesting things."


    Bai Xun knew that this idea of saving Di Chen would only come after he had a look. Although he was unwilling, it was not good to refute, so You Xiang and You Qin were willing to do so.


    He Shao brought them and hurriedly left the Shuiyue Workshop, his speed extremely fast. After walking a few miles, he looked at Di Chen and said coldly: "You did this on purpose to anger them, you think you can take the chance to escape just because we were fighting?"


    Di Chen naturally knew that he could not hide this from He Shao, and laughed: "At least it''s an opportunity."


    He Shao said in a low voice: "Do you know that I can kill you right now?"


    Just now, if Di Chen had continued to anger the other party so much that even he, himself, would be in danger, He Shao was truly furious. He even had the thought of killing Di Chen.


    Di Chen was indifferent, but he smiled and said: "You will kill me, but you temporarily won''t do it, you still need my Pearl of Life''s power, by the way, I have entered the wizard tower before, and offended many people, I don''t know if I will meet others, so it''s best for you to be careful."


    In any case, he would still die, so Di Chen would not mind angering He Shao, if he could die with He Shao, it would be considered a fortunate thing.


    This was the first time He Shao was angered like this, but he really needed Di Chen''s strength. He stared at Di Chen for a while, and after a while, revealed a playful smile, and then, without saying a word, left with Di Chen.


    In the next few days, He Shao took Di Chen to a few cities to buy many ingredients, and after a few days, they finally bought all of them. Only then, did He Shao bring Di Chen to a certain mountain.


    He Shao found a cave, laid a barrier outside, and locked Di Chen inside. After that, he took out the large cauldron and started to refine the pellets. These pellets were pellets used to forcefully separate the strength of Di Chen''s Pearl of Life.


    "Eat this pill," He Shao said as he took out a bright red pellet. This Mo Xie Pellet, after eating this pellet, would cause one''s body to become weak and powerless, unable to use martial skills.


    Di Chen stared at the pill for a while. He knew what would happen if he consumed the pill, but he had no other choice.


    Di Chen only felt as if his body had been pierced by thousands of arrows, his muscles were in pain as though they were being torn apart, he broke out in a cold sweat, the pain almost made him cry. Fortunately, the pain finally disappeared after a while, and Di Chen also collapsed onto the ground, limp and powerless.


    He Shao took out another medicinal pellet and said, "Eat this pellet again."


    Di Chen looked at He Shao angrily. He had no choice but to swallow that pill in the end. This time, the pill did not have the same pain from before, but it had an anesthetic effect, making Di Chen feel as if his body was no longer there.


    Following that, He Shao gave Di Chen a few more pills, and Di Chen only took one. At the same time, He Shao kept on concocting pills, and Di Chen did not know how many pills he had eaten, his body was already numb and weak.


    Ten days later!


    When Di Chen swallowed another pellet, He Shao finally stopped and smiled: "That''s enough. Now that the energy in your body is in a free-floating state, I can forcefully extract your energy."


    After saying that, he stuffed Di Chen into one of the cauldrons, and then, closed the lid.


    Di Chen only felt his surroundings becoming pitch-black as a scorching heat drilled into his body. His skin was burning, and this kind of pain was not something an ordinary person could endure.


    "The power of my Life Pearl." Di Chen suddenly felt that the power in his body seemed to be leaking out, as if a hole had been opened in his body. The power was flowing out like a stream, causing Di Chen to be unable to control the loss of his power at all.


    This power slowly condensed in front of Di Chen, forming a pearl, it was the Pearl of Life.


    "Can I really pull it out?" Di Chen clenched his teeth, before, there were many people who wanted to obtain the Pearl of Life''s power, but none of them were able to, and now, He Shao had actually pulled it out.


    Di Chen crazily activated the rest of the Pearl of Life''s power, wanting to forcibly absorb the remaining power back, but he was simply unable to do so. However, Di Chen suddenly felt a scorching energy seeping into his body, causing the energy of Di Chen''s Pearl of Life to disappear, but the searing heat continued to increase, as though the two energies were exchanging. In other words, Di Chen was using the energy left behind by the Pearl of Life to absorb the scorching heat.


    Then, Di Chen suddenly felt a strange energy entering his body, his strength was quickly increasing, and the previously weak Di Chen discovered that he was now filled with strength.


    In fact, it was also because Di Chen had consumed a large amount of medicinal pellets that were not completely absorbed, and were stored in his body. But now, after Di Chen had absorbed this much heat, the medicinal power of the pellet had entered his body completely.


    Although he had previously consumed a poisonous pellet, it was a third of poison. In other words, a poisonous pellet also contained an enormous amount of Origin Energy, and this kind of Origin Energy could similarly increase Di Chen''s strength.


    Di Chen''s life was not at stake, but from the outside, he did not seem to find anything special. Naturally, He Shao did not discover anything either.


    Five days later.


    When He Shao opened the lid of the cauldron, he originally thought that there was a wave of heat coming from inside, but the inside of the cauldron was still warm.


    "What''s going on?" He Shao used a raging fire to burn the cauldron, it couldn''t be possible for the inside to be this hot, he immediately grabbed Di Chen out, it was cold to the touch, and it didn''t seem to have been burnt in the cauldron, but He Shao couldn''t care about Di Chen, he just threw Di Chen onto the ground, he saw a red pearl the size of a ping pong ball inside the cauldron, he took out the red pearl and immediately revealed his excitement, this was the Pearl of Life.


    He looked at Di Chen and laughed: "Your luck is not bad, you really swallowed a Pearl of Life. Unfortunately, you encountered me, I''m probably the only one in the entire Martial Region Continent who can draw out the strength of a Pearl of Life."


    Di Chen stared coldly at He Shao and said: "Don''t be too happy, today you stole my Pearl of Life, in the future, there will naturally be people who will come to steal you."


    He Shao laughed: "I''m not like you, I''m a true martial artist, after I refine the Pearl of Life, I can increase my cultivation even faster, my strength is stronger than yours, no one can take out my power, but you, after I refine it, I will take out your martial spirit of light, then I will kill you, you should just enjoy the rest of your time."


    To a ranker, the power of the martial spirit of light was not inferior to that of the Pearl of Life. There was no martial artist that did not want to obtain the martial spirit of light, so He Shao would definitely not miss this chance.


    Di Chen sneered: "I advise you to kill me now, if not I will definitely kill you when you start cultivating."


    "Just based on the people of today?" He Shao was limp on the ground at the moment, without any strength at all. He Shao did not believe that Di Chen had the ability to kill him.


    But He Shao was still a little worried, after thinking for a while, he took out another bottle. Opening the bottle, a demonic beast came out from the bottle, it was actually a Heavenly Demonic Wolf, but this Heavenly Demonic Wolf was also only a level 9 Demonic King.


    "You are severely injured. I believe this ninth Demonic King should be enough to guard you."


    He Shao laughed and said, this Heavenly Demonic Wolf was caught by him previously, he never thought that it could be used in such a way.


    As long as Di Chen acted rashly, it would attack Di Chen. In fact, even if Di Chen was not injured, it would still be difficult to kill this level nine Demonic Wolf, let alone now?


    Di Chen was too lazy to argue with him, so he didn''t say anymore. He impatiently swallowed the Pearl of Life into his stomach, then sat on the ground and refined it.


    Refining the Pearl of Life was not easy, and he could not have any mistakes in between, or else his power would be lost.


    Di Chen looked at He Shao calmly, time passed minute by minute, very quickly, He Shao had already reached the critical point of his cultivation.


    "If you are forced to interrupt at this time, you will definitely suffer a backlash."


    He Shao was halfway through his cultivation, when he suddenly heard Di Chen say this.


    He was surprised for a moment before he sneered, "So what if I am? Do you still have the ability to defeat me?"


    Di Chen laughed and did not speak, he suddenly stood up and looked at He Shao playfully: "At least right now, you no longer have the ability to resist."


    Seeing Di Chen standing up, He Shao was shocked, he still had the ability to move?

 C220

    "I fed you an elemental elixir, how can you still move?"


    He Shao looked at Di Chen in disbelief. He was afraid that Di Chen would take advantage of him refining the Pearl of Life, which was why he had given the pill to to eat.


    Di Chen said playfully: "This is all thanks to you using it to roast me, helping me to refine all the medicinal powers of the pellets. You extracted the power of the Pearl of Life, but at the same time, helped me to refine the pellets, which can be considered a blessing in disguise for me, for losing the power of the Pearl of Life, but your strength has increased."


    He Shao suddenly remembered that when Di Chen came out of the cauldron, his entire body was ice-cold. The cauldron was not hot at all, but because he was too excited to obtain the Pearl of Life, he did not think too much about it.


    "So what? Do you really think you can kill me if you''re a bit stronger?"


    He Shao pointed at the Heavenly Demonic Wolf and sneered: "You should kill this Heavenly Demonic Wolf first."


    Then he looked at the Heavenly Demonic Wolf and ordered: "Swallow him."


    The Heavenly Demonic Wolf roared and pounced towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s right hand clenched into a fist, and punched the Heavenly Demonic Wolf, the powerful force striking the Heavenly Demonic Wolf, causing it to fly out and smash into the wall heavily. A rock fell onto the ground, and the Heavenly Demonic Wolf died on the spot.


    From the outside, the Heavenly Demonic Wolf only seemed to have been beaten to death by a strong power, but in reality, the inner organs of the Heavenly Demonic Wolf had all been burnt into ashes, which was also why Di Chen had fused the heat from the cauldron into his body. Previously, Di Chen did not completely understand what was going on, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was definitely because he had refined the inner core of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s guardian demonic beast.


    "What?" He Shao was shocked, he had previously witnessed the battle between Di Chen and the Heavenly Demonic Wolf and felt great difficulty in dealing with them, but now, he actually killed the Heavenly Demonic Wolf with a single punch?


    Di Chen laughed: "First of all, I have to thank you. I have already broken through the eighth stage of the Fighter realm, only, my realm is not stable, my strength is not strong enough, but it''s thanks to you that my strength increased by a level."


    Although Di Chen''s strength had increased, in reality, without the presence of Pearl of Life, Di Chen was no longer able to absorb more Demonic beast flesh and blood, and his strength had no way of increasing, so he still had to snatch back the Pearl of Life.


    "Di Chen, if you dare to touch our He family, we will not let you go."


    He Shao was still refining the Pearl of Life and could not move at all, so he could only threaten Di Chen like this.


    Di Chen said with a face full of ridicule: "You stole my Pearl of Life and even want to steal my martial spirit of light, you never would have let me off, tell me, why should I spare you?"


    "You ¡­" He Shao was so angry that he could not speak, and stared coldly at Di Chen.


    Di Chen was too lazy to say more. Stepping forward, he smashed his fist fiercely onto He Shao''s chest.


    He Shao was only ordinary flesh and blood body, so naturally, he could not endure being hit by Di Chen''s direct attack without any resistance. After spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, he stopped''s cultivation, causing the Pearl of Life''s energy to drain out of his body and condense back into a bead.


    "Di Chen, I''ll kill you," He Shao roared, but just as he moved his body, he immediately felt excruciating pain. However, as a Martial Monarch Level user, it was not easy to be killed, so he endured the pain as he stood up and threw a punch at Di Chen.


    "Explode!" Di Chen immediately took out a slip of paper with the word "explode" written on it. After the pills in his body were refined, Di Chen could use the power of a scholar again.


    BOOM!


    He Shao was also affected by the energy and was sent flying. However, compared to He Shao, his condition was much better, it was just that he did not have the power to resist right now, and compared to He Shao, who was using his Martial Monarch Level, he did not have any strength to fight back.


    "Dammit," He Shao propped himself up using the ground as support, gritted his teeth and said: "You actually injured me so badly, I''ll kill you."


    With that, he rushed towards Di Chen, but this time, Di Chen did not have the strength to fight anymore.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly, he knew that it would be difficult to kill He Shao while he was refining the Pearl of Life but he had no choice, he only had this chance.


    Just as He Shao was about to rush over, a man suddenly stood in front of Di Chen, with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew He Shao away, and smashed him heavily onto the ground.


    "Who?" He Shao looked at the person who came over angrily. He had seen this person before.


    "It''s you," Di Chen said in a daze. When he saw You Qin and the others at Shuiyue Workshop, he remembered that this man was one of them.


    Just then, You Qin and the rest walked in, You Xiang walked to Di Chen''s side and helped him up, smiling: "What do you think?"


    He never thought that they would all be here, yet You Qin was smiling, but he was unhappy.


    Di Chen shook his head: "I''m fine, just a little injured, and can recover after taking a few pills. Why are you guys here?"


    You Xiang smiled mysteriously: It was a while ago when I saw you with him, so I followed you guys, but I never expected to see such a good show.


    Di Chen frowned, which meant that during this period of time, they had been watching him being tormented by He Shao?


    Although he was slightly angry, Di Chen did not say anything. After all, they were not related to Di Chen in any way, and there was no reason for them to save him.


    You Xiang also noticed that Di Chen seemed to be angry, and laughed: "Actually, we also know that you almost lost your life before, but I believed that you would be fine, so we weren''t in a rush to attack. I didn''t expect you to be so powerful, to actually be able to injure a Martial King, I can''t see through you anymore."


    Di Chen had swallowed a lot of poison pills and was on the verge of death. Furthermore, he had been refined in the cauldron for a period of time, but in the end, Di Chen''s strength became even stronger and the effects of the poison pills also disappeared. You Xiang could not help but be shocked.


    "This has nothing to do with you, hurry up and get out of my sight."


    He Shao said coldly: "I know you guys also have enmity with Di Chen, you don''t need to offend our He family in order to save him."


    "He Clan?" Jing Lan laughed: "Could it be that you have such big guts, to actually belong to the He family? It''s a pity that even though your He family is strong, it doesn''t mean much to us."


    Hearing that Jing Lan was not putting on an act, she was really not worried about the He family, as the identity of the man was not ordinary.


    Ruo Yun turned around and said to You Xiang: "Let''s go."


    After he finished speaking, he walked out, and regardless of what He Shao would do, Jing Lan picked up the Pearl of Life, and without showing any intent of returning it to Di Chen, he watched on as she walked out.


    You Xiang supported Di Chen out, and Di Chen smiled at him.


    He Shao stared at the crowd, he did not dare say anything, otherwise, they would truly kill him, but he would not give up.


    After exiting the cave, Di Chen looked at Jing Lan and asked: "Can the Pearl of Life be returned to me?"


    Jing Lan was only playing with the Pearl of Life curiously, and did not have the intention of returning it to Di Chen.


    "This is the Pearl of Life that warriors desire the most. I never thought that you would swallow one."


    Jing Lan laughed: "If this Martial Region Continent''s warriors knew that there is a Pearl of Life here, they would probably go crazy fighting for it. That He family is also a genius, to think that they could actually take out the refined Pearl of Life."


    Pearl of Life s were the most convenient way for warriors to raise their strength. A person with even weaker talent would be able to easily cultivate to Martial Saint Realm as long as they had Pearl of Life, but Pearl of Life s that were normally refined would not be able to be retracted. He Shao being able to pull out the Pearl of Life was truly surprising.


    Bai Xun said excitedly: "Sister Lan, this Pearl of Life is a good item and can''t be returned to him. I think we should sell it.


    You Qin was speechless: "This Pearl of Life is priceless, you actually want to sell it?"


    Bai Xun laughed out loud, "Selling the money will help all of us break through a great realm, that''s not a small amount at all."


    It was just that the Pearl of Life could not be measured with silver and no one would sell it. Bai Xun did not want to sell it either, but it was impossible for him to refine it for him.


    You Xiang advised: "Sister Lan, I think you should return this Pearl of Life to Di Chen. It should be his business in the first place."


    Bai Xun immediately retorted: "You Xiang, how can you say that, he stole our points from us last time, even if it''s the price that he paid, what right do we have to return it? Furthermore, we saved his life."


    Not to mention Bai Xun, even Jing Lan did not want to return it. She hesitated for a bit, before throwing it over to Di Chen.


    "Blue ¡­" Seeing this, Bai Xun wanted to object, but the words that just left his mouth were taken back, he knew that Jing Lan must have made a decision, and there was no way to change it.


    Ruo Yun did not seem to mind, and laughed: "Pearl of Life s are truly priceless treasures to martial artists, but there are limitations to this kind of things. After you break through to the Martial Saint level, you will not be able to rely on the Demonic beast flesh and blood to continue improving, so if you want to breakthrough to become a martial king, you do not need to rely on other things."


    The Pearl of Life itself was also an Immortal Grade item. It could help a person reach the Martial Saint realm but it would not be able to break through the realm of War God. Furthermore, at that time, it would have been a long-term reliance on the Pearl of Life that would cause the realm to rise by leaps and bounds.


    Ruo Yun and Jing Lan were both people who wanted to break through the realm of War God, so the two of them did not want the Pearl of Life at all.


    Bai Xun obviously knew about this sort of thing, but he didn''t think that he would be able to break through Martial Saint in his entire life.


    Di Chen took it and cupped his fists: "Thank you."


    Jing Lan laughed out loud: "This time we saved you, and helped you snatch back the Pearl of Life, you should repay us right?"


    Di Chen stared blankly for a moment, thought for a while and said: "What kind of repayment do you guys want, my realm is low, and there is a limit to what I can do, but I will definitely do my best."


    Di Chen had long guessed that they must have a reason for helping him, it was just that Di Chen couldn''t reject them, and could only agree that these people would not make him do anything dangerous.

    Di Chen also did not expect Jing Lan to return the Pearl of Life to him, and for a moment, he did not understand what Jing Lan was thinking.


    Jing Lan was quiet for a moment before she said: "We are currently being chased by people from another sect, amongst them, there are Martial Kings and Martial King, with our strength alone we are not strong enough to defeat them, although you are not strong, but your techniques are strange, maybe it can be used during critical moments, what about it?"


    Upon hearing those words, everyone was taken aback.


    Ruo Yun immediately said: "Jing Lan, what you''re doing is too reckless."


    You Xiang also asked in confusion, "That''s right, Sister Lan, can''t you just tell him our identities?"


    You Qin and Bai Xun were both against Jing Lan doing this too. Although Di Chen''s strength was not bad, the problem was that he was an outsider, allowing him to join this place was too dangerous.


    Jing Lan waved her hand, and laughed: "I have my own plans, rest assured."


    Hearing Jing Lan''s words, everyone stopped talking.


    Di Chen stared at Jing Lan for a moment, then said: "The person chasing you must be very powerful, can I reject him?"


    You Xiang said unhappily: "Di Chen, we saved your life and even returned the Pearl of Life to you. With such a huge grudge, you should repay us right?"


    Previously, she didn''t want Di Chen to join, but when she saw Di Chen reject her, she got angry.


    The reason why Di Chen rejected them was not only because their opponent was powerful, but also because Di Chen was in danger. Furthermore, Di Chen was afraid of being used by them because he was not familiar with them, so what right did they have to return the Pearl of Life back to him?


    It was just that Di Chen didn''t have the right to refuse, otherwise, who knew what these few guys would do.


    "Alright," Di Chen agreed in the end.


    Jing Lan then laughed and said: "First, find a place to refine the Pearl of Life, and then we''ll bring you to a place."


    After that, Jing Lan and the others brought Di Chen to a safe place to refine Pearl of Life, refining them was not easy, even though Di Chen had refined it before, and Jing Lan and the rest were protecting Di Chen.


    Di Chen sat cross-legged on the ground and swallowed the Pearl of Life into his stomach. The Pearl of Life then transformed into a strange energy and entered Di Chen''s body.


    "Sister Lan, I really don''t understand why you wanted Di Chen to join us."


    Bai Xun thought about it and was still a little dissatisfied: "Our Nether Moon Sect is one of the top ten sects, it would be too dangerous for others to find out our identities."


    However, in recent years, the ten great sects had risen up one after another, and You Qin was the continuation of the Nether Moon Sect. Because Jing Lan, Ruo Yun and the rest had known him for a long time, You Qin was assured that they would enter the Nether Moon Sect, but Di Chen was not related to them, and letting Di Chen join the was truly too dangerous.


    You Qin did not mind, and laughed: "As long as we do not tell Di Chen our identities, that is enough, there is no need to worry."


    Hearing this, Bai Xun heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that using Di Chen as bait was possible, but he would definitely not agree to letting Di Chen join the Nether Moon Sect.


    Two days later!


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen could clearly feel that the mysterious power had returned into his body. This time, Di Chen discovered that although his realm was still that of a martial king at the eighth level, his strength had reached the level of Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, which meant that the limit of a normal martial artist at the ninth level of the Emperor Realm was Di Chen''s current strength. And Di Chen was only at the eighth level, which meant that his realm could still be raised.


    "Presumably it''s because He Shao fed me those poison pills before."


    Di Chen thought to himself that although these Poison Pills were poisonous, they were also filled with spirit energy. Although Di Chen''s cultivation had increased a lot, the cultivation of the scholars did not increase by much.


    "You''re done cultivating?" Jing Lan looked at Di Chen. During this period of time, they had been protecting Di Chen.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "I have finally finished cultivating, and the poison in my body has been completely purged."


    Ruo Yun sized Di Chen up from head to toe and said: "From the looks of your situation, your strength seems to be much stronger than before.


    Di Chen still looked very thin and weak, but in reality, Di Chen''s body was filled with a sense of power.


    He did not conceal his strength and said: "My current strength is at the eighth level of the Martial King realm, but I believe that the majority of ninth stage practitioners are no match for me. However, I am only at the fifth level of the King Wen, so the impact to ninth stage practitioners is relatively small.


    In fact, even with Di Chen''s current strength, there were very few ninth stage practitioners who could defeat Di Chen.


    You Xiang believed Di Chen''s words, and said enviously: "You''re really amazing, no wonder you could defeat me so easily."


    These words came from the heart, it was indeed not easy for a warrior to reach Di Chen''s realm.


    Bai Xun did not like You Xiang''s praise, so he snorted and muttered: "What''s so special about him, it''s just that her luck is better, if I had a Pearl of Life, I could have her strength too."


    Jing Lan rather admired Di Chen, and said while smiling: "Even though with your current cultivation and Martial King Realm, you don''t have many opponents, but you can''t be careless either. There are still many hidden families and sects in this world, and there''s no lack of geniuses amongst them.


    Di Chen naturally knew that, such as the Luo Yumeng from before, she was the successor to the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, the only martial king that Di Chen was afraid of was her.


    You Xiang could not wait and shouted: "Di Chen, go and see how strong you are now."


    Di Chen did not know which stage he was at and wanted to give it a try. A few of them went to the forest and found some Demonic King s of the ninth rank.


    "This is a Heavenly Eagle Bird, a ninth level Demonic King. Its strength is actually quite average. Try using this Demon Bird."


    Jing Lan pointed to a ten feet long demonic bird in front of him.


    This demon bird was like a vulture, covered in red fur, two heads, she could be considered the descendant of the ancient demonic beast. In reality, when the Heavenly Eagle Bird reached a high level, it could evolve into a ghost car, but of course, with the Martial Region Continent''s current spiritual energy, it was impossible.


    Di Chen took a step forward, with a leap, he punched at the Heavenly Eagle Bird.


    This type of wind blade was also condensed from demonic energy, so under such a powerful strength, it was simply impossible to successfully condense this wind blade. Di Chen then smashed his fist onto the body of the Heavenly Eel Bird, which let out a blood-curdling screech before lying on the ground without moving an inch.


    "So strong?" You Qin said in shock, "Although the Heavenly Eagles are not considered strong, killing them with one punch won''t be easy."


    You Qin and You Xiang both knew that even if they could kill this Heavenly Eagle Bird, it would not be as easy as killing Di Chen.


    Di Chen laughed and said: "I also did not expect this punch to be so powerful, but in reality, I did not use my full strength just now."


    Jing Lan thought for a while and said: "It seems that these normal demonic beast are unable to test your strength. How about this, I know that there are three Demonic Wolf in front of you, you go and hunt them for me."


    Upon hearing those words, everyone was taken aback.


    "That won''t do," You Qin immediately objected. "Sister Lan, these three Demonic Wolf are already at the top of the Demonic King. It''s too dangerous for Di Chen to kill them."


    Ruo Yun also agreed, "Jing Lan, this matter is inappropriate. If Di Chen is not careful, he will definitely be eaten by the three Demonic Wolf. We might not even make it in time to save him."


    Ruo Yun was a martial king, and even he himself might have the chance to save Di Chen from the three Demonic Wolf s, but he knew how strong the Demonic Wolf was.


    Jing Lan seemed to think that it was dangerous, she looked at Di Chen and said: "This three-headed nine-wolf is indeed dangerous, why don''t you try it yourself."


    Di Chen thought for a while, then said: "Let''s go take a look."


    Although he definitely thought that he could kill the three Demonic Wolf, he didn''t think that he would die either.


    Seeing that Di Chen had agreed to the suggestion of the others, he brought Di Chen to the center of the forest. Two hours later, they found a three-headed Demonic Wolf, which had a full body of gray fur, three heads, and a height of two meters, giving people a feeling of not being angry at all.


    "Are these the three Demonic Wolf?" Di Chen looked at the Demonic Wolf in shock. He had seen many Demonic Wolf before, but none of them had a demonic aura that was heavier than the three Demonic Wolf''s.


    You Qin was still a little worried and advised: "Di Chen, I think you should not go. It''s too dangerous."


    "Don''t worry about it," Di Chen walked towards the three Demonic Wolf, and the others didn''t stop him either.


    The three Demonic Wolf that were originally lying on the ground seemed to feel a wave of human approaching them, he raised his head and looked at Di Chen, growling softly, then raised his claws and swiped towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s strength surged out crazily, this time he did not hold back, the powerful force struck the Demonic Wolf, with a bang, Di Chen was immediately flipped over, and rolled over a dozen times before stopping, but the Demonic Wolf was also pushed back, falling onto the ground with a boom. Although it was severely injured, it was not able to kill.


    "So powerful," this time, even Bai Xun, who usually disliked Di Chen, could not help but be surprised.


    The three Demonic Wolf s stood up again and pounced towards Di Chen. This Demonic Wolf was famous for its strength, and Di Chen also only knew brute strength, both of them fought head on with each other, with fatal blows, both sides had wins and defeat. Di Chen looked extremely miserable, but the three Demonic Wolf s were also terrible in appearance, and after a few rounds of fighting, they finally collapsed to the ground, unable to move anymore. It was eventually killed by Di Chen with brute strength.


    Being able to kill one three-headed demonic beast was enough to show that there were not many people in the Martial King Realm that were able to match up to Di Chen.


    "Dead?" You Qin took a deep breath and walked towards Di Chen: "How are you?"


    Di Chen was also severely injured, he could not even stand steadily, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, You Qin was able to support him in time.


    You Qin quickly took out the pill and gave it to Di Chen. Only after consuming the pill did Di Chen recover a bit of his strength.

 C222

    "Hmm?" You Xiang had a strange look on her face as she asked, "Why do I smell a burnt stench?"


    The others were also stunned as they smelled the scent.


    Ruo Yun took out a handful of Spirit Sword and cut the three heads of Demonic Wolf. Immediately, a wave of black gas floated out.


    "What''s going on?" Ruo Yun was surprised. He didn''t even use the fire cultivation technique, how could he use it to beat the three Demonic Wolf to such a state?


    Di Chen explained: "Earlier, I refined a fire attribute demonic beast''s beast core, and its energy was filled with heat. This fist may seem like a brute strength, but in reality, it is equivalent to a fire cultivation technique."


    When he was at Ten Thousand Swords Gate, Di Chen had already eaten the spirit beast core guarding the mountain, and the flames entered his body, filling it up with his flesh and blood. His body was filled with the berserk heat, even the majority of fire cultivation technique did not have the same level of heat as Di Chen.


    When the few of them heard this, their faces were filled with astonishment and envy. They thought to themselves, why didn''t such a good thing happen to them?


    Jing Lan laughed: "Although Di Chen has not broken through to the ninth stage of martial arts, there are very few people who are his match at the moment. If he were to raise his cultivation by a little, then he would be even stronger.


    The others also agreed with him. If it was before, Bai Xun would definitely retort, but now, it was not his place to say anything else.


    "Oh right," You Qin asked. "Di Chen, what else do you need? After you finish preparing, we will bring you to a place."


    Di Chen thought for a while, then said: "I want to raise my cultivation realm, it would be best to find a place like the Academy to buy some ancient books first."


    Previously, Di Chen brought back a lot of ancient books from Ten Thousand Swords Gate, but the contents of those books were at odds with Di Chen''s thoughts. The books were filled with slave thoughts, so Di Chen did not plan to read them anymore.


    You Qin was silent for a moment, then said: "There is such a place in Crystal City, I''ll take you there."


    After walking through the streets and alleys, they finally found an ancient book house. The sign outside hung with the words "Xiang Nan book house", and after they entered, they saw a white-haired old man holding a book and reading it carefully, as if he did not see Di Chen and the rest. He did not even glance at Di Chen.


    Inside the bookstore, there were only a few Humble Class children reading books. On both sides, there were bookshelves filled with books, but what surprised Di Chen was that there were actually many forbidden books inside.


    The Thousand Autumn Dynasty forbids the sale of forbidden books, but this place was publicly displayed on the bookshelves. Di Chen thought to himself, This old man was also powerful.


    "Di Chen, go and choose your book. We''ll wait for you outside."


    You Qin said. This place was filled with books by the ancient scholars, there were some famous people there, some were chatting about geographically, some were weird novels, and some were poems. She was not interested in these books at all.


    As a scholar, Di Chen could tell at a glance just how good the books were.


    "Hm?" Guan Canghai? " The title was very interesting, he took the book and looked, the author''s name was Ni Ming, Di Chen remembered this person, the person who was the top scholar when Di Chen participated in the Imperial examinations, Di Chen did not expect to see his book.


    This book was a travel diary, recording the ten years of wandering on the sea. He had been to many places, seen too many literary customs, and would carefully record the local interesting stories every time he went there, followed by her own feelings. Di Chen was not interested in the human customs, but Di Chen was very curious about his feelings.


    However, in reality, Di Chen did not know that he was actually the top scholar. It was only because someone had seen through his idea in the article that he had been disqualified from being the top scholar.


    "Although this Frowning is not a great scholar of his generation, his words are filled with the comprehension of his life. This kind of essay is indeed suitable for cultivation."


    Di Chen kept the < Observing the Vast Ocean > book and then continued to browse the bookshelves.


    "Hmm?" It was the first time that Di Chen had seen a book that could also release the power of a scholar. Di Chen suddenly remembered that the words that he wrote with the power of a scholar were actually just the power of a scholar, he thought that maybe this was the case, it seemed like this was a literati.


    Di Chen did not open the books, he kept the books, these two were enough for him to cultivate. He walked over to the old man and handed him the two books: "Elder, I will buy these two books and accept them."


    The old man casually glanced at the two books, then raised his head to look at Di Chen. No one knew what he was thinking, then casually said: "One hundred million."


    Di Chen was startled, but did not say anything. He opened his own money pouch, but the pouch only had a few hundred silver, he then remembered that he had used up all his silver to help Zi Yan cultivate his martial soul.


    Di Chen scratched his head and walked out. When he saw Di Chen coming out, he smiled and asked: "Have you bought it yet?"


    Di Chen said awkwardly: "I don''t have enough money, can you lend me some?"


    "Sure," You Qin was also very polite as she asked, "No need to borrow, I''ll gift it to you. Is five million silver enough?"


    Di Chen said with a bitter smile: "One hundred million."


    Hearing that, You Qin''s face turned pale, one hundred million gold was not a small sum, even she felt pained.


    Bai Xun immediately jumped up and scolded: "Di Chen, don''t be too greedy, we saved your life, and even brought you here to buy the things you need, but you actually said one hundred million, why don''t you just die?"


    One hundred million silver could even buy many rare pills, and could at least make a martial king and raise his cultivation by several levels. Forget about a martial king, even Jing Lan would be reluctant to part with such a Martial King.


    You Xiang said with good will: "Di Chen, aren''t you being too deceitful, I will help you talk inside, the price is too high."


    After she finished speaking, she angrily rushed in. To her, many martial arts techniques didn''t require such a price. Why would a scholar''s book need such a price?


    You Xiang rushed in and shouted, "Old man, it''s just two books, but you only need a hundred million gold. Aren''t you being too greedy?"


    The old man did not even look at You Xiang as he continued to flip through the books in his hands.


    Bai Xun scolded in anger: "Those scholars from the academy only look at a little more than 10 taels of silver at most, but you, you actually want 1 million taels for two broken books, we warriors do not even need 1 hundred million taels, what right do you have to take it?"


    The old man was too lazy to look at him and continued to read his book.


    Seeing that the old man had ignored him, Bai Xun slapped the table heavily, just as he was about to curse angrily ¡­


    At this time, the old man suddenly raised his head, and looked coldly at Bai Xun.


    Bai Xun only felt a gust of cold air entering his body, he was so scared that his expression changed, as though he had met some terrifying danger, and he swallowed his words back.


    Jing Lan realized that the old man''s strength was not ordinary and immediately bowed: "Senior, we were being unreasonable just now, I hope senior will not bother with us."


    The old man calmed down and said, "These two books are one hundred million taels. If you are willing to buy them, then buy them. If you are unwilling, then put them back. No one will force you to buy them."


    Jing Lan did not know whether this book was good or bad, or whether it was useful to the literati, but she looked at Di Chen and let him make the decision.


    Di Chen calmly replied: "We bought it ¡­"


    Then, he looked at You Qin and said, "This one hundred million silver is yours to lend to me. I''ll pay it back later."


    Seeing that Di Chen was no longer adamant, he took out a money pouch and said: "Alright, here is one hundred million."


    "Idiot ¡­" Bai Xun cursed in a low voice, he did not think that the book would have much use.


    Di Chen gave the money to the old man, bowed to him, kept the two books and left. Jing Lan also clasped her hands in respect.


    After exiting the library, Di Chen stopped and turned to say: "This senior must be very extraordinary, I''m guessing that he is also a literati."


    Jing Lan also felt the terrifying aura of the old man a moment ago, and said: "I really didn''t think that such a terrifying person would be hiding here, I wonder what realm he is at."


    Ruo Yun was silent for a moment, then said: "Who do you think is stronger between him and the old Sect Leader?"


    Hearing that, everyone was startled, no one had any opinions, only a serious face, to be able to compare this old man with their Sect Leader, how strong could he be?


    You Qin smiled and said: "It isn''t strange for there to be many hidden experts in the continent of martial arts, let''s go, in a while, we will meet with those people. During this time, let Elder Di Chen cultivate and strive to break through the King Wen''s six stages, then we can have more confidence."


    When that group of people were mentioned, they all had a solemn expression on their faces. It was obvious that everyone was extremely respectful towards that person.


    "Let''s not talk about this ¡­" Jing Lan said: "Di Chen, first, find a place to cultivate in the Scholar''s Realm. It''s best if you can break through King Wen''s six stages within half a month."


    To break through a small realm in half a month''s time was extremely difficult for Di Chen. Di Chen inwardly thought that since these fellows were so anxious to let him level up, they must have encountered some troublesome matters.


    Afterwards, everyone brought Di Chen to an inn and arranged a room for him to cultivate.


    In a certain guest room.


    Ruo Yun looked at Jing Lan and asked: "Are you preparing to let Di Chen compete with that person in You Qin''s place?"


    Jing Lan said with a grave expression on her face: "You Qin''s strength is not bad, but her time in cultivation is too short, I believe I cannot defeat that person, and cannot take the risk.


    When You Qin heard this, she also laughed bitterly. In fact, she herself did not have the confidence to deal with that person, hence she agreed to what Jing Lan had done.


    You Qin was worried: "But Di Chen is not from our Nether Moon Sect, I''m afraid they will not agree."


    This was a problem. Jing Lan wanted Di Chen to fight in his place, but the problem was that he did not want Di Chen to know their identities.


    Jing Lan could not think of a solution at the moment, so she said: "Let''s see, let''s go, they must be waiting for us right now. You Qin, you will go with us, You Xiang, Bai Xun, you two stay behind."

 C223

    You Xiang and Bai Xun nodded, the two of them knew that it would be dangerous if they went there with their own cultivation, and furthermore, they had to look at Di Chen.


    Jing Lan and Ruo Yun left the inn together with You Qin, and two hours later they arrived at a restaurant in the Crystal City. There were already three people on the second floor of the restaurant, two men and one woman, and at the very front was a youth dressed in black clothes, his appearance carried a trace of Evil Qi, and his cultivation seemed to only have Martial King Realm, his name was Huai Yu, the man behind him had disheveled hair and green eyes, which meant that this man''s body was poisonous, his name was Ji You, and the woman beside him was beautiful like a fairy in a painting, but she also had a bit of Evil Qi, called Yu Xue.


    Jing Lan walked over, looked at the three and laughed: "You guys came rather quickly, and impatiently want to snatch our order badge?"


    These three people were from the Five Poisons Sect, and were actually part of the top ten ancient sects. The Five Poisons Sect and the You Sect had been at odds for a long time, but a few months ago, a few people from the Five Poisons Sect found traces of You Qin and the rest, so they wanted to snatch You Qin''s order badge, and after fighting for a few rounds, they ended up with both of them being killed and injured. Now that the top ten ancient sects had appeared one after another, it was naturally impossible for both of them to continue on like this.


    Ji You said with an evil smile, "We do not need to snatch it from you. In half a month''s time, it will be the day of the competition between You Qin and Huai Yu.


    You Qin smiled and said: "I am truly sorry, but the one fighting Huai Yu this time was not me."


    Huai Yu frowned: "Could it be that your younger sister, You Xiang, is weaker than you?"


    You Qin was the heir to the Nether Moon Sect, so logically speaking, You Qin should be participating in the competition, but You Qin did not plan to.


    Jing Lan said calmly: "You don''t need to care about who it is, all you need to know is that person''s Martial King Realm, and that person''s strength is many times stronger than You Qin."


    You Qin was already very strong, but that person was actually multiple times stronger than You Qin. Just how strong was this guy?


    "Regretfully," Huai Yu seemed to not be worried at all, and instead laughed: "Actually, just like You Qin, I do not plan to participate myself. This time, I will also send someone to fight in my place, I wonder who will be stronger and who will be weaker."


    Jing Lan frowned, she had originally come this time to probe Huai Yu''s strength, but now that Huai Yu did not participate in the battle, they did not know each other''s strength, and could not help but be worried.


    On the other hand, You Qin was very confident in Di Chen. She smiled and said, "I hope the people you two have chosen have the strength to do so. Sister Lan, Brother Yun, let''s go."


    The few of them did not stay any longer and left the restaurant as soon as they finished speaking.


    Ji You looked at the backs of You Qin and the rest with a serious face and frowned, "They seem very confident. Just what kind of expert did they choose?"


    Yu Xue didn''t seem to be worried at all. "Although that person might be strong, she isn''t weak. Martial Region Continent doesn''t have many wizards."


    It was only after hearing about the identity of the Mage that everyone was relieved. Mages belonged to the clans of the Eastern Desolation, and there were very few of them, and few of them had ever seen a Mage before. They did not know what ability a Mage had, but just thinking about it made them think that it was possible.


    You Qin was very confident in the beginning, but now that she directly left with a heavy realm, it could be seen that the other party was very confident as well.


    Jing Lan frowned: "I also don''t know what kind of people they found. In my opinion, they definitely aren''t ordinary martial practitioners."


    Ruo Yun analyzed: "They are from the Five Poisons Sect, the person chosen must be an expert in the use of poison, Di Chen is a literati, although his strength is strong, but his body is relatively weak, I am worried that he will not be his opponent."


    You Qin was silent for a moment, then said: "You all have seen Di Chen''s technique, it''s very mysterious, and his most powerful technique is the martial spirit of light, I actually have confidence in him."


    Hearing that,, who was originally in martial spirit of light, calmed down, thinking that even if the other party was even stronger, he would still be unable to stop martial spirit of light.


    When Di Chen entered the room, he took out the book to rush into the King Wen''s six stages. He first took out the drawing soul, this book contained the power of a powerful scholar, Di Chen thought that the person who could write this book using the power of a scholar must be very powerful, he flipped open the book and channeled the power of a scholar. Just as he was about to read the book, a strange power rushed into Di Chen''s body.


    "The power of the scholars in this book is too strong. I''m still unable to read it."


    Di Chen thought that the person who wrote the book had a realm higher than him, he had used the power of a scholar just now to read the book, it was too dangerous.


    This book was unlike < Soul Painting > which was filled with the power of powerful literati. Di Chen opened the book and read, this book recorded the life of a few years wandering on the sea, the human customs of various countries, some things were very interesting, Di Chen read it with relish, but that human feeling was not the most important, what was most important was that the words between the lines contained a clear understanding of the creases, Di Chen thought this crease was definitely a rare talent.


    "Country of Thumbs, Country of Giants, Country of Women ¡­"


    The book recorded the lives of many countries overseas. Di Chen thought to himself that the Martial Region Continent was indeed very big.


    However, although these words contained literary talent, Di Chen could feel that the power of these literati was not strong, and was slow in raising Di Chen''s cultivation.


    There were many books written by scholars today, but there were not many books that could truly increase the power of the literati''s scholars. If a book could increase a person''s strength by such a large amount, then it would mean that the person was very talented.


    It was just like how the article that Di Chen was currently writing could not raise the power of the literati''s scholars, but it could be written by Qu Ming, which meant that Qu Ming''s literary talent was slightly better than Di Chen''s.


    Ten days later!


    Di Chen took a deep breath. In this period of time, he had been constantly comprehending the wrinkled¡¶ Observing Canghai¡·, and now that he had finally broken through to King Wen,¡¶ Observing Canghai¡· would no longer be of use.


    "I don''t know if I can look at < Soul Painting > now," Di Chen remembered when he opened the book, he was almost killed by the strong power of the scholar. He tried to open the book again, but the moment he saw the characters, he realized that the text inside was extremely distorted and his head was spinning.


    "So powerful," Di Chen felt a burst of fear, thinking that although it was much better than before, he was still unable to read this book, seems like he still had to break through to another realm.


    "I don''t know who this person who wrote the book is either," Di Chen said as he put away the book. After a while, Di Chen started writing even more, with the words'' explode '', one reason was to consolidate the power of humanity, another reason was also because he wanted to prepare more formula s for battle. Previously, Di Chen could only use the a few times, but after breaking through the King Wen''s six stages, he could at least use it five times.


    After a few days, You Qin finally knocked on Di Chen''s door: "Di Chen, are you done cultivating?"


    Di Chen opened the door and said: "I have finished cultivating, and have successfully broken through the King Wen''s six stages."


    "That''s great," You Qin said happily: "It''s about time, let''s go."


    Di Chen still didn''t know where he was going, so he asked: "Where to?"


    You Qin smiled mysteriously and said: "You''ll know once you get here."


    Without waiting for Di Chen''s agreement, she pulled Di Chen and walked out of the room. Jing Lan was waiting outside.


    Jing Lan could not see through Di Chen''s cultivation, so she asked: "Did I break through King Wen''s six stages?"


    Di Chen nodded his head, then asked back: "All of you have been urging me to cultivate during this period of time, what exactly is it that you''re talking about?"


    Jing Lan and Ruo Yun looked at each other, as though they did not know how to answer. After thinking for a moment, she said: "It''s like this, we have a grudge with some other people, and both of us agreed to fight. Originally, it was You Qin who accepted the challenge, but because You Qin did not have absolute confidence, she wanted you to accept."


    Di Chen was not surprised, he had long guessed that these people must have given their all to cultivate because they met with troubles from the people with Martial King Realm, but now that Di Chen had received their kindness, they could not reject it, furthermore, if Di Chen had rejected them, they might not even be able to do so.


    "What kind of expert?" Di Chen asked.


    Jing Lan shook her head: "We are the same as us, we also need the help of outsiders, we have never seen each other, so we do not know who the opponent you are facing is."


    Hearing that, Di Chen frowned, they did not know what kind of strength the other party had to make him go up?


    Ruo Yun did not allow him to object and said: "Let''s go."


    Di Chen followed them and left. Two hours later, they were a dozen kilometers away from the crystal city.


    They were none other than Huai Yu, Yu Xue and Ji You, as well as a petite Girl. This little Girl was dressed in white, and had a head full of flowing water that covered his eyebrows. There was no expression on his face, giving people a feeling that he was a natural fool.


    At this time, the little Girl was squatting on the ground. Three joss sticks were stuck in front of her, and the joss sticks were already half lit up. In her hands, there was a scarecrow.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen noticed this little Girl first. She similarly did not have any elemental energy in her body, but he had a terrifying feeling to Di Chen, so this little Girl was probably not simple.


    Suddenly!


    Di Chen felt a burst of dizziness in his head. He could clearly feel a strange power enter his body, but it quickly disappeared, causing him to not be able to feel it anymore.


    "What is this?" Di Chen was secretly surprised, he took a glance at You Qin and the others, who seemed to not have been affected by the power, and looked as calm as ever.


    Di Chen suddenly felt that this feeling was a little familiar, he just couldn''t recall where it came from, but he had a feeling that this Girl was very scary.

 C224

    A few people walked over, and Huai Yu was the first to speak: "You guys finally came. I thought you guys wouldn''t dare."


    Then, his gaze landed on Di Chen, and asked doubtfully: "So this is the person you guys are competing with? Eh, he actually doesn''t have any Origin Energy in his body?"


    Obviously, the opponent could not allow an ordinary person to participate in this competition. This fellow did not have any elemental energy, but there was definitely something special about him.


    Yu Xue and Huan You looked at each other. The two of them also did not see how strong Di Chen was, they only felt that this Di Chen might be a dangerous guy.


    You Qin chuckled: "You don''t need to care about that, you only need to know that he''s very powerful."


    Huai Yu laughed and did not say anymore. He looked at the little Girl and said: "Jie Wei, go ahead."


    The Girl who was called Jie Wei said yes and then expressionlessly walked over with the scarecrow.


    Di Chen originally wanted to walk over, but suddenly, Jing Lan reached out and stopped him.


    "Why?" Huai Yu laughed: "Are you afraid?"


    Jing Lan looked at Huai Yu silently, and after a moment of silence, she said: "If I guessed correctly, she should be a Magus."


    laughed and did not say anything, neither did he admit nor deny it. However, when You Qin and the others heard this, their expressions changed, magicians were very common in the Eastern Desolation, they were not warriors who trained in cultivation techniques, but rather demonic techniques such as Gu arts and curses. This kind of evil technique could kill people formlessly, it was not something normal people could block.


    "Not good," Di Chen cursed inwardly. Just now, he had felt a dazzling dizziness in his body. He wondered if he had been bewitched by a spell.


    Previously, he had vaguely felt that this kind of dazzle seemed very familiar, but he could not recall it. Now, he finally remembered. Wasn''t this the same feeling he had when he first tried to erase his own life?


    Di Chen immediately took out a mirror. He realized that his HP was getting shorter and it was still being consumed at a very fast rate.


    "It was her doing," Di Chen didn''t think that she would do it the moment he arrived. He squinted his eyes and saw the HP at the top of the little Girl''s head.


    Jie Wei''s life force was also rapidly disappearing, but she seemed to have sensed it. He raised her head, glanced at Di Chen, and didn''t say anything, but only lowered her head lightly.


    Just then, she took out a Glyph and placed it on his body, Di Chen suddenly realized that the Glyph on her head had disappeared, it was as if it was hidden, and Di Chen could not erase her life force anymore.


    "It can actually block my power as a scholar?" Di Chen was secretly surprised, but at the same time, he discovered that her HP had stopped flowing as well. Thinking about it, while she was blocking him, he was also unable to erase a lot of her HP at the same time, but he had already erased a lot of it just now, and it should have been more than ten years.


    Di Chen cursed under his breath. After his HP was erased, he would not be able to recover it, unless he broke through a new realm to extend his HP.


    However, the two of them were only competing in secret, so the others didn''t notice.


    "So what?" Huai Yu also did not conceal Jie Wei''s identity, and said: "If you guys are afraid, you do not need to compete, you only need to give us the order badge."


    "Don''t even think about it," You Qin directly objected, then looked at Di Chen and said. "Be careful, I''m counting on you."


    Di Chen smiled and nodded. Although he had never fought with a Magus before, he was confident that he would win.


    Huai Yu didn''t think that Di Chen would still dare to come out. With a face full of ridicule, he looked at Di Chen and said: "You Qin didn''t even dare to accept the challenge yet you came to throw your life away. You still dare to come out even when you''re a Magus with an accumulating amount of resources.


    Di Chen smiled and said, "If I don''t try, how would I know?"


    When Huai Yu saw Di Chen''s confident look, it was as if he was looking at an idiot. He was too lazy to talk to Di Chen anymore.


    Di Chen did not say anymore to him, and vigilantly stared at Jie Wei. Jie Wei did not seem to have any intention of attacking, so Di Chen thought for a while but still decided to take a step towards Jie Wei.


    Jie Qian took out a red bottle and opened it. A group of fingernail-sized poisonous wasp s suddenly came out from the bottle. To think that such a small bottle could contain so much poison.


    "Jie Long actually directly used these Gu bees. It seems like she realized that this person is also a dangerous guy, but even if she takes out the Gu bees, this guy is dead for sure."


    Huai Yu knew the power of these Gu bees, one of them was enough to kill a Martial King. With so many Gu bees that even people with Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm could not defend against, Huai Yu did not have this confidence.


    Yu Xue and Ji You also seemed to have the same thought, and they nodded with smiles on their faces.


    "Is he dead?" Di Chen could feel that these poisonous wasp did not have any signs of life, it must be dead. He immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" on it, with a wave of his hand, the power of the scholar flowed inside, and just as the poisonous wasp flew over, it exploded. With a boom, all of the poisonous wasp were turned into ashes.


    "What?" Looking at this scene, Huai Yu and the rest were all shocked: "What kind of cultivation technique is this, its power is so strong, and I didn''t even feel the Origin Energy fluctuation inside his body just now, could it be that it''s also a talisman?"


    But runes would usually draw runes, and the slip of paper Di Chen had just taken out did not have any runes, it was just like an ordinary piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it.


    "He is the literati. No wonder I felt that he was strange earlier."


    At this point of time, Ji You finally saw through Di Chen''s identity. Only a scholar could display such a strange technique, and it did not have any elemental energy undulations.


    "literati?" Yu Xue''s expression changed slightly. If it was just a warrior, she might not be worried, but literati''s techniques were very mysterious. She might be able to defend against the Magi.


    Jie Qian raised his head and looked at Di Chen for a while, seemingly not surprised at all. Actually, she had already faintly felt that Di Chen was extraordinary when he was able to wipe away her life earlier.


    She saw that the poisonous wasp was useless and took out another puppet. This puppet was made of wood, and in its human form, it held two blades. Her ten fingers were connected together with ten thin strips, and she used these thin strips to control the puppets.


    The puppet suddenly pounced towards Di Chen, it''s speed was fast, just as Di Chen was about to use Blast Character Formula, it suddenly rushed forward and raised its blade.


    "Not good," Di Chen cried out from the inside, and immediately retreated, and in the instant that Di Chen retreated, the puppet landed right where Di Chen was, almost killing him.


    Jie Wei''s ten fingers quickly changed direction, and the puppet continued to chase after Di Chen.


    Di Chen quickly took out a few lines with the word "spear" written on them and extended his hands, releasing a long spear that shot towards the puppets.


    Seeing this, Huai Yu laughed out loud: "literati is indeed powerful, but literati''s body is usually relatively weak. Directly using this puppet to attack is the best choice.


    In the eyes of warriors, a scholar''s appearance was always very thin and weak, so as Huai Yu saw it, it was natural that it was the same for Di Chen who was a literati.


    Di Chen thought that although his own formula s were the strongest, they could only use it five times. Presumably the other party was also able to tell that unless it was absolutely necessary, he had better not use it. This kind of puppet with a loose structure was actually very easy to destroy.


    Just then, the puppet came slashing at Di Chen again, but Di Chen did not dodge at all. Instead, he faced it head on and punched at the puppet.


    The strong force fiercely smashed into the puppet''s body, causing the puppet to be completely smashed into pieces by Di Chen''s punch.


    "What?" This time, Huai Yu and the rest were all surprised. How could this guy have such strength with a single punch?


    Yu Xue cursed under her breath. She knew that if this went on, Jie Wei would definitely die. She immediately shouted, "Jie Wei, with your spells, you won''t be able to kill him."


    Jie Qian nodded and raised the scarecrow in his hand to face Di Chen. This scarecrow looked very ordinary, but Di Chen felt that this scarecrow was alive and well.


    Then he took out another silver needle and stabbed it into the scarecrow''s heart.


    "Puff ¡­" Di Chen immediately felt as if his heart was pierced, it was extremely painful, as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Jie Long pulled out a silver needle and pierced it to other places, wherever she stabbed the scarecrow, Di Chen would feel himself being pricked.


    "Curse Technique," Jing Lan immediately warned Di Chen, as she could see what kind of spell was used.


    The Curse Technique was a very evil technique. Being able to use the scarecrow to control the scarecrow''s body, no one would be able to resist it, only that Di Chen was surprised. He had no connection with the scarecrow, so how could she attack him through attacking the scarecrow?


    "Dammit," Di Chen immediately pounced towards Jie Wei. Although Jie Wei could use magic, his body was still relatively weak, and would be fatal if Di Chen were to hit him once.


    Jie Qian immediately took out a silver needle and pierced it into the scarecrow''s leg. Di Chen only felt as if his leg was pierced and fell to the ground in pain.


    "Haha ¡­" Huai Yu laughed loudly, "Although he is a literati, he is still a little lacking when compared to Magi."


    As Yu Xue and Ji You saw this, they didn''t think that the other party still had a chance to retaliate, but You Qin and the rest were secretly anxious. Di Chen had been receiving beatings this entire time, if this went on, he would die for sure.


    Di Chen thought for a while, then took out a stack of paper with the word "gun" written on it and threw it out.


    Jie Long did not seem to be worried in the slightest. Calmly holding up an umbrella, he said, "That umbrella is likely a high-rank Earthen Equipment." Then, the lances shot onto the umbrella, creating a series of bangs. However, they did not cause the slightest bit of harm to the umbrella.


    "It''s no use. The power of your cultivation technique is only around the seventh level of the Martial King realm. It can''t harm the Primordius Umbrella."


    Huai Yu sneered.


    You Qin shouted anxiously, "When Di Chen uses the Blast Character Formula, the might of the Blast Character Formula is greater, so he has the chance to injure the Primal Chaos Umbrella."


    Huai Yu also knew that the Blast Character Formula was the formula that Di Chen had first used. He smiled and said, "It''s still useless.

 C225

    However, at this moment, Jie Duo''s body twisted, and in the next moment, she suddenly turned into a turtle. The Primordius Umbrella and the scarecrow both landed on the ground.


    When Di Chen was using the Spear Arts just now, he was holding onto a turtle formula, and that the Spear Arts had also only garnered some attention.


    Di Chen hurriedly rushed over and picked up Yu Yuan and the scarecrow. Without these two things, Jie Yuan and the scarecrow wouldn''t be able to cause any harm to him, and furthermore, he was right in front of Jie Yuan. It was way too dangerous for Jie Yuan, who wouldn''t have a weak melee combat ability, but Di Chen didn''t harm her.


    "What kind of cultivation technique is this?" Everyone was stunned when they saw such a strange cultivation technique. This was the first time they saw a cultivation technique that could turn the other party into a turtle.


    However, anyone could tell that since Di Chen was able to rush to the front of Jie Wei, it meant that Jie Wei had already lost.


    Ruo Yun and Jing Lan looked at each other. Both of them did not know that Di Chen could cultivate such a mystical technique, and thought to themselves that it was normal for Di Chen to replace You Qin.


    Ten seconds later, Jie Long finally turned back into a human again. Di Chen stood by her side and grabbed her shoulder with one hand.


    To Magi, being in close proximity to others would be equivalent to committing suicide. Jie Long saw Di Chen stunned for a moment, but did not say anything. He only whispered to himself, and she knew that she had lost.


    You Qin walked out, and looked at Huai Yu: "In the end, you still lost, hand over your order badge."


    Huai Yu remained indifferent, and stared straight at You Qin, his face filled with unwillingness.


    You Xiang said coldly: "What? Do you regret it? "


    Ji You walked out and sneered, "So what if you regret it? Do you think we will hand over our sect''s tokens so easily?"


    Yu Xue mocked, "This Sect Leader Token is very important to us. Don''t forget, our Five Poisons Sect is an evil sect, how could we keep our promise?"


    When Bai Xun heard this, he could not help but scold loudly. The two of them had fought previously, but now you are going back on your words?


    "Five Poisons Sect?" Di Chen was startled, he had heard Yu Xuanji talk about the top ten ancient sects, the Five Poisons Sect was one of them, this sect was an expert in refining poisons, a few months ago it had already appeared, he did not think that the people in front of him were members of the Five Poisons Sect, since You Qin and the rest were enemies with them, then You Qin should be the heir to one of the top ten ancient sects, what kind of sect was this?


    Di Chen thought that the competition between the top ten ancient sects was extremely intense. If they knew that he was the heir to the Eternal Gate, they would definitely not let him go, right?


    Jing Lan stared at Yu Xue and did not speak further. She raised his Spirit Sword and leaped up, and the Spirit Sword immediately pointed at Yu Xue.


    Yu Xue did not hold back, a white silver needle appeared in her hand. This silver needle was about ten inches long, her fingers controlling the needle as she shot it towards Jing Lan.


    Jing Lan deflected the needle with her sword, but in the next moment, the needle returned back to him. Every time Jing Lan deflected the needle, it would fly back to him.


    Yu Xue laughed coldly, "This is the Blood Devouring Divine Needle, you won''t be able to get rid of it."


    The Sword Qi shot out from the tip of Jing Lan''s sword like a machine gun. The Sword Qi shot towards the Blood Devouring Divine Needle, after being hit multiple times, the light in the Blood Devouring Divine Needle clearly dimmed and its spirit slowly disappeared. In the end, it fell from the sky.


    Yu Xue''s expression changed as she thought to herself, ''What kind of technique is this? It can actually destroy the spiritual nature of the Blood Devouring Divine Needle?''


    Then, Jing Lan took another step towards Yu Xue, her speed was so fast that Yu Xue didn''t even have time to react before Jing Lan''s sword pierced into her shoulder.


    Jing Lan raised her Spirit Sword and sent Yu Xue flying again, her blood flowing out. The battle between the two only lasted for a few seconds, but Yu Xue was not Jing Lan''s match at all.


    "Yu Xue ¡­" Ji You ran over and helped Yu Xue up. "How are you?"


    Yu Xue took out a pill and stopped bleeding, then gritted her teeth and said, "I''m fine. Although this Jing Lan is in the same realm as me, she''s still much stronger than me."


    Ji You coldly stared at Jing Lan. What he hated the most was for others to injure Yu Xue, she leapt up and pierced towards Jing Lan with her sword: "Go and die."


    At this time, Ruo Yun took a step forward to stop Jing Lan in front of him, and raised a long spear to meet Ji You.


    With a sound, the long spear clashed against the Spirit Sword, sparks flew in all directions, and Ji You was flipped over by a powerful force, while Ruo Yun remained motionless.


    "Your strength is merely mediocre," Ruo Yun laughed, "I advise you to just hand over the order badge and not force us to kill you. Although our sects are at loggerheads with each other, it is a rebirth, so there is no need to fight to the death."


    "Hmph, kill us if you have the ability. We won''t hand over that badge."


    Ji You still objected. The Sect Leader Medallion was very important to them, not only was it a symbol of the sect, it was also said to contain the Five Poisons Sect''s most powerful cultivation technique.


    Ruo Yun''s eyes became cold: "Since you''re courting death, then I''ll grant your wish."


    As he spoke, he leaped up. In terms of strength, Ji You and Yu Xue weren''t his opponents. This was also because not everyone from the Five Poisons Sect was here.


    "Wait," At this moment, Huai Yu shouted, "This badge is for you."


    As he said that, he threw the order badge back to You Qin.


    "Huai Yu, you can''t," Ji You anxiously shouted. If he could even hand over his medallion, then how could they still be considered members of the Five Poisons Sect?


    Huai Yu said calmly: "It''s fine, we will get the order badge back sooner or later, so we can leave it with them for now."


    Then, he looked at You Qin and said, "I hope you won''t die before I take it back."


    Huai Yu acted as if he was not worried at all about his order badge being stolen, and casually left with Ji You and the others. As for Jie Wei and the others, they were too lazy to bother with them, as if they did not care about her life.


    Jie Long looked at Huai Yu and the others, then lowered his head.


    You Qin looked at Huai Yu''s back and said: "I never thought that he would actually use this medallion to exchange for Yu Xue and Ji You''s lives. It seems that this Huai Yu is also a powerful person."


    As the successor of the Nether Moon Sect, You Qin was very clear on the importance of the order badge, but Huai Yu was willing to part with the order badge, after all, he was not as useless as he pretended to be.


    "Di Chen," Seeing that Di Chen was still holding onto Jie Wei, he asked. "What do you want to do with her?"


    Bai Xun quickly replied, "She brought us a lot of trouble previously, this Magus is too dangerous. I think it''s better to kill her."


    Jie Duo''s body shivered, but he did not say anything, and kept his head down.


    She was still a little younger than Mo Xun, so he was really unwilling to let Di Chen kill such a young Girl. Di Chen shook his head and said: "Forget it, let her go."


    Hearing these words, Jie Qian was obviously startled, and when he raised his head to look at Di Chen, he seemed to be thinking of something, but still lowered his head.


    "No," Bai Xun objected: "This kind of fellow is too dangerous, he might bring us more trouble in the future. If you don''t want to kill him, I''ll come over."


    As he spoke, he rushed towards Jie Wei. It seemed as if he was preparing to kill her.


    You Qin stopped Bai Xun and said seriously: "Forget it, it''s Di Chen who defeated her. Let Di Chen handle it, let''s go."


    Bai Xun seemed to still be somewhat unresigned, but after thinking for a while, he still agreed. In the end, he still didn''t want to go against You Qin''s intentions.


    In fact, Di Chen was prepared to take action just now. If Bai Xun really wanted to kill Jie Wei, he would not have shown mercy.


    "Oh, that''s right," Di Chen said as he looked at You Qin. "I have already done what you wanted me to do.


    These people were also from the top ten ancient sects. Di Chen really didn''t want to interact with them, just in case his identity was exposed.


    You Qin couldn''t make up her mind anymore and looked at Jing Lan again.


    Jing Lan smiled and said: "What''s the rush? We still need to bring you to a place."


    Di Chen said: "I still have things to attend to, I can''t stay for long."


    He couldn''t wait to get rid of these people.


    You Xiang laughed: "Di Chen, it''s not like we will harm you, what are you afraid of, since you helped us win this competition then you are one of us, let''s go."


    Di Chen secretly thought that this competition was very dangerous, and anyone who entered the arena might die, but they actually requested for him to accept the challenge. It could be seen that these guys did not place their orders in their hearts at all.


    "Alright then ¡­" Di Chen thought that maybe he could find a chance to get rid of them. Who knew that they would still let him do something dangerous?


    Only then did everyone leave. However, just as they left, they saw that Jie Duo had also followed them.


    Seeing her, everyone was startled, Bai Xun scolded: "We didn''t kill you earlier, yet you want to die, scram."


    Jie Long lowered his head and did not speak. Everyone ignored her and continued walking, but Jie Long still followed.


    You Qin raised her brows: "You are a member of the Five Poisons Sect, and are irreconcilable with our sect. If I follow you, it will be very troublesome."


    Zhang Qian still did not speak, and always kept his head down.


    Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why she wanted to follow them. They didn''t know what to do, thinking that they couldn''t possibly kill her.


    You Xiang asked: "What do we do, Huai Yu has obviously already abandoned her, can it be that she is really allowed to follow us?"


    Jing Lan stared at Jie Qian for a while, and laughed: "She''s not following us, she''s just following Di Chen. Regardless of her, let''s go."


    "Follow me?" Di Chen was startled, and then he realised that she had been standing behind him the whole time, as if he was indeed following him. But the life and death battle between them just now, he almost killed his, why did she follow him?


    Ruo Yun did not care about all these, and said: "It doesn''t matter, let''s go first, the old Sect Leader is still waiting for us."


    When they mentioned the old Sect Leader, everyone''s faces turned solemn. They then headed towards Youcheng, and after a few hours, they returned to the inn.


    "Begin," Jing Lan said seriously as she looked at You Qin.


    You Qin took out an order badge with the word "Nether Moon" written on it. Di Chen could see it clearly, he suddenly remembered that Yu Xuanji previously mentioned that there was a Nether Moon Sect in the top ten sects of the Primordial Era, so this You Qin must be the successor to the Nether Moon Sect.

 C226

    The order badge flashed, and a vortex appeared. Bai Xun and You Xiang walked in first, followed by Ruo Yun.


    Jing Lan looked at Di Chen and said, "You go in as well."


    Di Chen remembered this scene, it was the same when he entered the Eternal Gate. He thought that maybe they wanted him to enter the old location of the Nether Moon Sect, but once he entered, his life would be in danger.


    Right now, Di Chen could only pray that his identity would not be discovered. He thought about it and still prepared to walk in.


    Jing Lan blocked Jie Qian''s path and said seriously: "This is not a place you should go in."


    Jie Wei was not one of the Nether Moon s, and Jing Lan did not want to reveal his sect''s secret.


    Di Chen laughed: "You stay here."


    Jie Qian stared at Di Chen for a while, then suddenly gave the scarecrow to Di Chen. The scarecrow had a silver needle stuck onto his body.


    Di Chen was startled: "What are you giving this to me for? I don''t even know how to use it and it''s even given to me. What if you encounter danger?"


    Jie Long did not say anything either, still looking at Di Chen blankly, as if he wanted Di Chen to accept this scarecrow.


    You Qin advised: "Di Chen, you should take it."


    Di Chen thought for a while and still took the scarecrow back, then casually put it away. He didn''t know why Jie Wei did this, he just felt that this scarecrow was useless to him and couldn''t be a souvenir. In the end, he entered the whirlpool.


    Upon entering the Nether Moon Sect, it was as if they had entered another world, it was like a mountain of immortals, with a heavenly lake at the very front, and a courtyard surrounded by people. There were warriors that could occasionally be seen in the courtyard, the majority of the martial artists here were young women, and occasionally some men.


    "Who is this person?" Upon seeing Di Chen, everyone looked over.


    "Could it be that he''s a new member of our Nether Moon Sect?"


    Di Chen did not care about the other people, and calmly waited at the same place, after a moment, Jing Lan and You Qin also walked in.


    "Let''s go," You Qin said with a smile. "I''ll first bring you to find a place to cultivate.


    Just now, Di Chen had been brought here after defeating Jie Wei, and he didn''t even have time to recuperate.


    You Qin brought Di Chen to a side courtyard. It was surrounded by trees and had a small stream in front of them. It looked like a paradise on earth.


    "This is You Xiang''s place, no one will disturb you, you should recuperate from your injuries first."


    You Qin said, Di Chen nodded, and then entered You Xiang''s room.


    Previously, he had gone out to cultivate together with Mo Xun and Mo Xun had given him a few pellets, but the effect of this kind of pellet was many times better than that of the Great Recovery Pellet. He took out a pellet and swallowed it, and the Spiritual Energy entered his stomach, causing his injuries to quickly heal, and in just one hour, his injuries were already completely healed.


    You Qin and the others hadn''t come back since the beginning, and Di Chen couldn''t just barge in here either.


    The scarecrow was only the size of a palm and was just a normal scarecrow. It wasn''t as powerful as the scarecrow.


    Di Chen remembered that when Jie Wei pierced the scarecrow with a silver needle, that kind of heart-wrenching pain came back to him. He still didn''t know if this scarecrow could still use it.


    Di Chen carefully used the silver needle to lightly prick the scarecrow''s leg, causing Di Chen to feel as if his leg had been pricked, and blood to flow out.


    "It can still be used?" Di Chen was startled, he did not understand the theory behind this scarecrow.


    "Eh? Hair? " Just then, Di Chen suddenly noticed that the scarecrow had a strand of long hair tied around its head. He took off the long hair and studied it carefully, obviously the hair didn''t belong to Jie Wei, he thought to himself, could it be his?


    Di Chen once again pricked the scarecrow with a silver needle, but this time, Di Chen did not feel any pain. He finally understood that this was because of the hair on the scarecrow, and thought that as long as he tied the scarecrow''s hair to the scarecrow, he could use a silver needle to injure it.


    However, Di Chen had a question. When did Jie Long get his hair?


    Dong, dong, dong!


    There was a knock on the door as a man shouted, "You Xiang, are you there?"


    Di Chen frowned, You Qin said that no one would come here, but no matter what, there was still someone here. He opened the door and saw a man around his age, he was wearing a set of navy blue clothes and had a blue track tied around his waist, giving off a gorgeous aristocratic feeling. This person was called clear fish, he was also a member of a sect.


    "Who are you?" The clear fish frowned, seemingly unhappy.


    Di Chen explained: "My name is Di Chen, You Qin asked me to cultivate here, and you are?"


    The clear fish''s face was calm as she said angrily: "How dare you, who allowed you to call the young Sect Leader by his name?"


    Di Chen thought that it was not inappropriate for Bai Xun, Jing Lan and the others to call him by his name, but seeing as how the man did not seem to like him calling You Qin by his name, he did not say much either, not bothering with him, he closed the door and prepared to continue his cultivation.


    The clear fish pushed the door open and said snappily: "This is You Xiang''s room. How can you, an outsider, be here?


    Di Chen frowned: "I told you before that it was You Qin who wanted me to cultivate here."


    The clear fish said with a cold expression: "If you continue to call me by my name, Young Sect Leader, then I''ll kill you."


    Di Chen saw that the other party seemed to have some enmity towards him, so he could not be bothered to continue speaking to him, and immediately retreated to the side to start cultivating.


    The clear fish saw that Di Chen still did not plan to go out and was still cultivating, so it immediately took out the Spirit Sword and pointed it at Di Chen, and said angrily: "This is not a place you should stay, if you don''t go out now, don''t blame me for being rude."


    Di Chen still ignored him.


    "A guy without any elemental energy can be so arrogant," The clear fish did not sense any movement of the elemental energy in Di Chen''s body and only treated him as an ordinary person.


    "The eighth level of the Martial King realm?" Di Chen could immediately tell of his cultivation level, so he was not concerned about it at all. He took out a piece of paper with the word "spear" written on it and threw it out, and the power of a scholar surged out as a spear shot towards the clear fish.


    clear fish s'' points struck the spear and with a bang, the Spirit Sword was directly sliced apart, but Di Chen''s spear was also broken into pieces.


    "What?" The clear fish was shocked, it never thought that his strike would actually be so weak. He immediately threw another heavy punch at Di Chen.


    Di Chen also welcomed the clear fish with a punch, the bones of the clear fish creaking, and then he heard him scream miserably, his arms were directly broken.


    "You actually dared to injure me, I''ll kill you," The clear fish was injured by Di Chen, and after a moment of madness, he once again pounced towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen could have immediately killed him, but Di Chen did not make a move in the end. Without even glancing at him, he turned and left You Xiang''s room.


    The clear fish was unwilling to give up, but still chased after him. When Di Chen saw that he kept using the Binding formula, the clear fish froze and was no longer able to move.


    "What have you done to me?" The clear fish tried to struggle, but was unable to move.


    Di Chen didn''t even bother to look at him anymore, turned around and left. He also didn''t want to stay either, so as to avoid this fellow making a ruckus.


    After leaving You Xiang''s courtyard, Di Chen headed towards the center of the Nether Moon Sect. The Nether Moon Sect was built in the mountains and was surrounded by beautiful scenery.


    In the depths of Nether Moon Sect''s mountains, there was a lake, and in the middle of the lake, there was a pavilion, and inside the pavilion there was a beautiful woman, she was the previous sect''s Ning Fu. This Ning Fu looked to be only around twenty years old, but in reality, she was already a person that had lived for a hundred thousand years.


    You Qin walked over by herself and clasped her hands in front of him, "Sect Leader ¡­"


    Ning Fu put down the book, looked at You Qin and smiled: "You''re back, what was the result of your trip this time?"


    You Qin laughed: "We met people from the Five Poisons Sect, we stole their Sect Leader''s medallion."


    She then took out the order badge and handed it over to Ning Fu.


    Ning Fu looked at the order badge and smiled: "As expected, it''s the Five Poisons Sect''s order badge, how did you get it back?"


    You Qin explained: "Wu Du''s heir is actually also very powerful, both of us don''t want to fight to the death, so we used the method of arranged battle, in the end we won against each other, but ¡­ ¡­"


    You Qin paused for a moment before saying: "The one who took action this time isn''t me, but rather, it''s me who asked for the help of an outsider. The Five Poisons Sect also seems to be the same."


    If he lost, he would need to hand over the order badge, and the order badge was very important, but You Qin was handing it over to an outsider, it was too dangerous.


    Ning Fu frowned, as though she did not like what You Qin was doing, but she did not say anything.


    "That''s right," Ning Fu asked. "Where is that person now?"


    You Qin said: "He is currently in our Nether Moon Sect. I have arranged for him to rest in You Xiang''s courtyard, but..."


    You Qin seemed to not dare say anything, she paused for a while and said: "He doesn''t want to join our Nether Moon Sect, but he saw my Nether Moon Sect''s order badge and knows of my identity, I wonder if he knows of the ten great ancient sects."


    It was a secret that the Ancient Ten Great Sects came out one after another, and these people never revealed their identities. However, today, there were people who knew of Nether Moon Sect''s identity as a continuation of the competition and even entered the Nether Moon Sect''s old address, yet he was not a member of the Nether Moon Sect. If news of this spread, it would be extremely dangerous for the Nether Moon Sect.


    Ning Fu was silent for a while, before saying: "The ancient top ten sects have successively appeared, and have inquired about each other''s whereabouts, if he were to reveal your identities, it would be too disadvantageous for our You Sect, you should also know that many sects are eyeing our Nether Moon Sect s, especially the Five Poisons Sect, and the most powerful ones of the ancient times, the Eternal Gate is also extremely dangerous, and we do not know where their successors are, so we cannot let outsiders know about our Nether Moon Sect, go and kill him."


    "Killed him?" You Qin was shocked. On one hand, she brought Di Chen to the Nether Moon Sect because she did not want him to reveal his identity, and on the other hand, she wanted to persuade him to join. She had never thought of killing Di Chen.


    Ning Fu saw You Qin hesitate, and frowned: "You''re still not willing?"


    You Qin was the one she chose as her successor, she didn''t want to see You Qin opposing her.

 C227

    You Qin shook her head: "No, I just don''t think there''s a need to kill him. He''s very powerful, maybe..."


    Ning Fu interrupted: "I don''t care how powerful he is, I only know that he knows of your identities. You Qin, before our Nether Moon Sect regains his previous strength, you must not reveal it, listen to me, go kill him, if you are unwilling, I will let others go."


    "But ¡­" You Qin originally wanted to advise her otherwise, but she did not say it out loud. In the end, she nodded her head.


    After leaving the pavilion, You Xiang, Jing Lan and the rest waited outside.


    You Xiang saw that You Qin''s face was slightly pale and asked suspiciously: "Elder sister, what''s wrong?"


    You Qin paused for a moment: "Sect Leader wants me to kill Di Chen."


    "What?" You Xiang shouted in shock, she did not expect Sect Leader to do this, even Jing Lan was surprised, Di Chen''s cultivation was not weak, she even gave the Pearl of Life back to Di Chen, Sect Leader still wants to kill him?


    Jing Lan hurriedly asked, "You Qin, did you not tell Sect Leader about Di Chen''s identity?"


    Di Chen was a literati, his skills were unique and he had trained in the martial spirit of light, this kind of person was very rare, killing him would be too much of a pity.


    You Qin shook her head: "You know about the Sect Leader, but these are not important to her. If he wants to keep Di Chen alive, he has to join our Nether Moon Sect, and also have to guarantee that he won''t tell anyone else about our Nether Moon Sect, but I don''t think he wants to join us."


    Earlier, Jing Lan advised Di Chen to join the Nether Moon Sect, but Di Chen rejected him immediately, so now, Jing Lan was not confident that Di Chen would join either.


    You Qin sighed: "Let''s go take a look first, if Di Chen really doesn''t want to join, then let''s kill him."


    When You Xiang and You Qin returned, they saw the clear fish standing motionlessly in front of the door, as if it was frozen in place.


    You Xiang hurriedly walked over and frowned: "clear fish, why are you here?"


    The clear fish hurriedly said: "You Xiang, there was an outsider in your room just now, I was afraid that he would harm you, so I fought with him. I did not expect him to be so strong, to be able to injure me so easily."


    Hearing this, You Qin and You Xiang looked at each other, originally thinking that no one would come here, but the two of them had neglected the clear fish, which liked You Xiang a lot and often came to find her. It was normal for him to see someone who was unfamiliar with You Xiang and get angry in her room, even a calm clear fish cannot enter.


    "Where is he?" You Xiang hurriedly asked.


    The clear fish shook its head and said, "He left. I don''t know where he went."


    She had already informed Di Chen not to run around randomly. This was the Nether Moon Sect, an outsider like him might be killed as if he was an intruder.


    The two of them immediately headed in the direction the clear fish pointed, ignoring it.


    Di Chen had always liked the beautiful scenery so he took a walk around. Along the way, he didn''t see anyone else, but after walking for around an hour, he saw a lake in front of him. The lake was very big and the lake was clear.


    "Eh, there''s someone here?" Suddenly, Di Chen saw a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and inside it, a woman was reading a book. The woman was dressed in white, and looked extremely beautiful, as though she was a fairy in a painting.


    Ning Fu seemed to not have noticed the arrival of someone as she focused on reading the book.


    Di Chen noticed that the title of the novel that the woman was reading was < Sang Zi >. Di Chen remembered that this book was a love novel, and such novels were still considered welcome in the Martial Region Continent, especially when women loved to read them. Di Chen never thought that there would be people who could read such books in the Nether Moon Sect.


    Di Chen thought that this place was very suitable for cultivation, he also took out a book, and this was the Soul Painting that Di Chen was unable to read, in this period of time, Di Chen''s cultivation had increased a little, but he did not know if he could read this book.


    He tried to flip the book open for the night, but before he could see the first word, he felt a wave of dizziness. He immediately closed the book, but it seemed he was still unable to read it.


    "Soul Painting?" Ning Fu saw the book in Di Chen''s hands with a glance, and asked curiously: "Where did you get this book?"


    Di Chen originally thought that she didn''t notice him, and only now knew that she knew he was here, and just didn''t say anything.


    "I bought it from a small academy," Di Chen casually explained. To ordinary people, this book was just an ordinary book to read.


    Ning Fu hesitated for a while before saying: "Let me see, what do you think?"


    Di Chen immediately threw the book towards Ning Fu. When Ning Fu opened the book, she could faintly sense that there was a special kind of power within the book, but she could not capture it. Furthermore, this book was just an ordinary book to her.


    She threw the book back to Di Chen and asked: "Did You Qin bring you here?"


    The moment Ning Fu saw Di Chen, she knew his identity, and she was a little curious about why he would run all the way here by himself. In fact, she had already prepared to make a move earlier, but after seeing Di Chen take out the book, she gave up on the idea of killing him.


    You Qin said that this man had defeated the Five Poisons Sect disciple, her strength must be not bad, she really wanted to know why such a person could read books.


    Di Chen nodded: "Just bring me here to recuperate. I''ll be leaving very soon."


    Ning Fu laughed, thinking that this guy still did not know that she was not planning to let him leave, maybe You Qin had missed out on his plans.


    Ning Fu asked curiously: "I just heard from You Qin that you helped her defeat the Five Poisons Sect disciple. I see that you do not have any Origin Energy in your body, so I assume you are a literati."


    Those with a bit of experience could immediately tell that Di Chen was literati, that was not a surprise.


    "Yes," Di Chen didn''t hide anything and said: "I was studying to participate in the Imperial examinations, but I didn''t expect to be able to become a literati, and regretfully lost."


    Ning Fu said in surprise: "Since you managed to cultivate to the literati realm, it means that you are very talented. How did you lose?"


    Di Chen still couldn''t understand, he shook his head and said, "I don''t know either.


    Until now, Di Chen had always felt that his essay was written very well. He had once guessed that it was because his essay was not favored by the selected officials that it was rejected, and of course, Di Chen had never asked the prince of Thousand Autumn Dynasty about it.


    Ning Fu thought for a while, then said: "Why don''t you show me your essay on participating in the Imperial examinations?"


    Di Chen thought that there was nothing to hide and he took out a pen and paper and broke off a small piece of ink stone. Just as he was about to grind the ink, Ning Fu walked over and smiled: "I''ll help you."


    Di Chen had always grinded ink for him when he wrote before, but after he changed it to Liu Jingjing, ever since he left the Famous Sword Academy, Di Chen sharpened ink by himself. Ning Ling was the first to say that he would grind ink, so Di Chen did not reject his.


    Ning Fu carefully grinded the ink, her movements appearing to be rather proficient, after she finished grilling the ink, Di Chen took out the Sky Evolution Brush and dipped it in the ink, and then covered it with white paper to write her essay.


    "The world is heartless, everything is like a rascal ¡­"


    Following that, Di Chen immersed himself in writing. After everything was done in one go, even if he were to write it again, Di Chen could still feel the power of a scholar surging into his body.


    More than ten minutes later, Di Chen finally finished writing. He picked up the article, blew the ink dry, and handed it over to Ning Fu.


    Ning Fu carefully savored Di Chen''s article. The article did not take long, but Ning Fu read it for a long time, as though she had to read every word for a long time. After reading it, she sat down again and did not say a word, as though she was immersed in thought.


    "You wrote very well," Ning Fu handed the article over to Di Chen, and laughed: "I''m afraid there are very few people in this Martial Region Continent that have as much literary talent as you do."


    Di Chen shook his head: "I have read the books of this year''s top scholar before, he is a person with even more literary talent than me."


    Ning Fu laughed and said: "But if it was in the Primordial Era, you would definitely have died a miserable death. I really admire you."


    In the ancient times, the heavens were revered and all sects respected the heavens. When Di Chen said that the heaven and earth were heartless, it was akin to defying the heavens.


    Di Chen did not understand the meaning behind Ning Fu''s words. He only knew that this Ning Fu was definitely not simple.


    "Oh right," Ning Fu asked. "Can you give this article to me?"


    Di Chen did not expect her to want this, and nodded.


    After that, Di Chen chatted with Ning Fu for a long time, and Di Chen realised that this Ning Fu was actually also a talented woman. She had spent a lot of time on writing poems, and was also well versed in many books, such that even Di Chen felt that she was inferior to her, so she asked for advice. Talking with a talented person would also benefit Di Chen, Di Chen realized that while discussing those scholars with her, he had also participated in many of them, and Di Chen even felt that he had faintly broken through the 7th level of the Martial King realm.


    Di Chen was curious about Ning Fu, and thought that he was unable to see through her cultivation level, but she was extremely proficient in reading and singing, she must not be an ordinary person.


    "I hope that I will have a chance to chat with you in the future."


    The two talked for an hour. Ning Fu looked at the hour before she prepared to leave, and said: "I still have a lot of books in my collection. If you''re interested, you can stay here for a few more days.


    Di Chen pinched his brows and thought for a moment, "But I still have some things that I want to do so I can leave as soon as possible ¡­"


    Hearing these words, Ning Fu''s face turned cold, and her killing intent surged. She and Di Chen had a very happy conversation, she wants Di Chen to stay, but you want to leave?


    Di Chen seemed to not have noticed Ning Fu''s expression, and thought for a while, then said: "But I''m not in a hurry, I can go take a look."


    As a literati, he naturally felt excited towards those ancient books that he had never seen before. Di Chen also wanted to see more and was reluctant to leave.


    Ning Fu revealed a smile after hearing Di Chen''s words, then turned and left.


    Di Chen quietly watched Ning Fu''s back figure. He could see through her, but he felt that this woman was very terrifying. The last time he felt this way was when he saw Yu Xuanji.

 C228

    When Di Chen left the center of the lake, he saw You Qin and You Xiang waiting outside. The two of them had previously looked for Di Chen on their way here, and when they finally saw him, they were surprised, because only Ning Fu could enter the center of the lake. You Qin could also only enter the pavilion after reporting to her about the situation, but now, not only had Di Chen entered the pavilion, he had also conversed with Ning Fu for a long time.


    You Qin waited for Di Chen to come out before asking impatiently: "Di Chen, why are you here, didn''t I tell you not to barge in?"


    Di Chen laughed and said: "I met an unreasonable person earlier, I was too lazy to bother with him, so I went out to walk around. When I arrived and saw someone reading a book, I came over to take a look."


    You Qin asked: "Do you know who she is?"


    Di Chen puckered his brows and said: "From your tone, she doesn''t seem to be an ordinary person. Who is she?"


    Previously, when Di Chen had conversed with her, he already knew that he was not an ordinary woman. He had knowledge of astronomy and geography, and the cultivation of this woman was probably no worse than the Principal of the Famous Sword Academy, but Di Chen did not guess her identity.


    You Qin said with a solemn face: "She is Nether Moon Sect Ning Fu."


    Di Chen was startled, he remembered that Yu Xuanji had mentioned that the ten great sects were all destroyed at the same time period, and the last Sect Leader was sealed. When Yu Xuanji walked out of the seal, that meant that the other sect''s Sect Leader was also out of the seal, and that woman was Sect Leader of the Nether Moon Sect, a Ranker at the same time period as Yu Xuanji?


    Di Chen suddenly thought of how he had always felt when he had met Ning Fu. Only now did he understand why this woman was as terrifying as Yu Xuanji.


    You Qin suddenly remembered that Ning Fu still wanted to kill Di Chen so she anxiously asked: "What did Sect Leader tell you?"


    Di Chen casually said: "It''s nothing, we were just talking about poems and songs, he said that she had collected a lot of ancient books, he would let me take a look after a while."


    You Qin was startled again. Not only did Ning Fu not kill Di Chen, she even invited him to her storage room?


    One had to know that You Qin, the heir to the Nether Moon Sect, didn''t even have the qualifications to go to the collection room.


    You Qin also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Ning Fu''s opinion of him had temporarily changed, and he would not kill him, but it was hard to say. After all, Di Chen was in the Nether Moon Sect, so it was fine for Ning Fu to kill him anytime.


    "Let''s go, do not come back here anymore," You Qin said. Even if Ning Fu did not kill Di Chen today, it was hard to say whether or not she would make a move in the future.


    Di Chen followed You Qin back to You Xiang''s courtyard. The three of them discovered that the clear fish was still standing in the middle of the courtyard.


    You Xiang said in a speechless manner, "Di Chen, quickly, let him go."


    Only then did Di Chen retract his powers, the clear fish had also recovered its ability to move, he immediately charged towards Di Chen, wanting to kill him.


    You Xiang blocked the clear fish and berated: "What are you doing, are you ashamed of yourself? Di Chen has already spared your life."


    The clear fish did not expect You Xiang to help her speak up, and said angrily: "You Xiang, this fellow is not a good person, he is still cultivating in your room, I am helping you teach him a lesson."


    You Xiang said: "I was the one who let him cultivate in my room, what right do you have to teach him a lesson, furthermore, even I am not his opponent, can you teach him a lesson?"


    He liked You Xiang, so he didn''t like others entering You Xiang''s room. But since You Xiang had agreed to it, he started to think too much about it, and she couldn''t even beat Di Chen in battle.


    You Xiang also could not be bothered with the clear fish, and directly pulled Di Chen into the house. The clear fish gritted its teeth as it looked at the tightly shut door, and in the end, still left.


    You Qin looked at You Xiang and laughed: This clear fish likes you, I think he will not let this go.


    Her gaze landed on Di Chen again, and he reminded him: "Di Chen, you have to be careful."


    Di Chen laughed indifferently. In fact, with Di Chen''s current ability, he did not have much Martial King Realm that could injure him.


    You Qin and You Xiang did not stay for long, they let Di Chen cultivate. Previously, after talking to Ning Fu about it, Di Chen''s powers had increased by a lot, and there were already signs of him breaking through the seventh level of King Wen.


    "Huh?" After You Qin and You Xiang left, Di Chen picked up a strand of hair from the place, from the colour of the hair, it should be You Qin''s. Di Chen wanted to take that scarecrow, but hesitated for a while before tying You Qin''s hair onto the scarecrow, but he did not give it a try, so he kept the scarecrow and continued his cultivation.


    Today, the clear fish was scolded by You Xiang in public, especially in front of Di Chen, he wanted to help You Xiang vent his anger, but in the end, You Xiang scolded him in public, so how could his face not be good?


    "Senior Brother Hua, are you there?" The clear fish shouted to the courtyard.


    Just then, a man walked out. He was dressed in a black robe with Evil Qi flowing from his entire body. He looked at clear fish and frowned: "What happened?"


    "When I went to You Xiang''s courtyard earlier, You Xiang and You Qin brought an unfamiliar person to live there. I was not convinced, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he was stronger than me in the end. Instead, he scolded me in front of You Xiang.


    The Flower Hall didn''t seem to be interested in it at all. They didn''t even bother to pay attention to the clear fish as they turned around and left.


    The clear fish saw that he did not want to help himself, and anxiously said: "Not only is his relationship with You Xiang good, her relationship with You Qin seems to be good as well. I see that You Qin is very concerned about him."


    Hearing this, the Flower Pavilion stopped, turned around and stared coldly at the clear fish, his eyes filled with killing intent.


    The clear fish seemed to be afraid of the flower pavilion, swallowing its saliva: "Senior Brother Hua Lou, I''m not lying to you, if you don''t believe me, you can go and see for yourself."


    "No need," Flower Hall did not believe that the clear fish would lie to him. He said seriously, "I will kill him tonight."


    To the Flower Hall, anyone who had some relationship with You Qin deserved to die. He did not care what kind of relationship they had.


    When the clear fish heard this, it was immediately overjoyed, thinking that with the help of the Flower Hall''s senior brother, that guy was definitely going to die.


    The night was getting deeper, and You Xiang was already resting. Di Chen stood in front of the desk and started copying the books with the pen in his hand. He had copied all the books before.


    As of now, Di Chen had already faintly broken through the King Wen''s six stages, so there were still some set formula among the four that were useful. The other few were no longer suitable for battle, but he could familiarize himself with using the Blast Character Formula and the turtle formula.


    "Hmm?" At this moment, Di Chen suddenly felt someone approaching him. He squinted his eyes, opened the door gently and walked out. It was dark outside, but he could faintly feel that someone was staring at Di Chen.


    Suddenly!


    A ghost shadow rushed to Di Chen''s front. This ghost shadow''s body was blurry and distorted, as if it was really a ghost.


    Di Chen punched the evil ghost head-on, the blazing energy hitting it, and the evil ghost seemed to be just an aura. Di Chen''s punch had penetrated through its body, but because of the blazing heat coming from Di Chen''s punch, the evil ghost was unable to take shape in the heat, and with a whoosh, it disappeared.


    "Who is it?" Di Chen asked coldly.


    At this time, two men walked out from the darkness. These two people were the flower pavilion and the clear fish.


    Di Chen looked at the two of them and laughed: "You two have guts, this is the Nether Moon Sect, and you, as its disciples, are actually trying to kill me, if You Qin were to know about this, I''m afraid the both of you will be punished by the sect rules."


    The Flower Pavilion didn''t care about the rules of the sect. When he heard Di Chen calling You Qin by name, his eyes turned cold, and with a flash, he appeared in front of Di Chen, throwing a punch.


    Di Chen could feel that his fist was emitting a black Qi, which was very dangerous, but Di Chen was not afraid, and welcomed it with a punch.


    The two fists clashed against each other, causing the entire pavilion to be pushed back a few steps, the black gas on the fist dissipating, while Di Chen remained motionless.


    "Is his strength that strong?" Just now, the Flower Hall used a cultivation technique. His black gas could corrode a person''s flesh and blood, but these black gas were actually useless against them?


    The flower pavilion looked at Di Chen in confusion. The opponent had only used the brute strength just now, and had not released any elemental energy, but the opponent did not have any elemental energy in his body.


    In an instant, the pavilion saw through many things.


    Di Chen said calmly: "I have never met you before, I don''t know why you want to kill me, but I don''t want to kill you, so let''s quickly leave this place."


    Then, his gaze turned towards the clear fish, and coldly said: "I''ve already let you go once during the day, I''ll give you another chance, scram."


    The clear fish coldly snorted: "What is there to be proud of, to even dare act so arrogantly in front of Senior Brother Hua Lou, you must die today."


    Di Chen was too lazy to explain anymore. Although this was the Nether Moon Sect, Di Chen was never afraid to kill people.


    "What an arrogant person. I would quite like to see what basis you have to kill me."


    With a flip of his hand, his spirit energy flowed into the ground, and one after another, sinister evil spirits crawled out from the subterranean and pounced on Di Chen.


    "Such an evil art?" This was the first time Di Chen had seen someone summon such an evil spirit, but he was not afraid. He immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it out.


    "What kind of cultivation technique is this?" The evil spirits that he summoned were not weak, but they were unable to withstand a single blow from him?


    Suddenly, he slapped his body, and his body began to distort before finally turning into a ferocious evil ghost that was a few meters long. There was a single horn on his forehead, and his entire body was a scarlet red.


    "Refining the body into a ghost?" Di Chen knew that this Martial Region Continent had an extremely evil technique, where one could cultivate themselves into a half human, half ghost, or half human, half demon. This could raise one''s cultivation, but the process of cultivation was extremely painful, especially the process of training to become a ghost, it was not something an ordinary person could endure.


    Right now, it was as if the flower pavilion was really a demon. He roared, and then he rushed forward to grab Di Chen, wanting to kill him.

 C229

    Di Chen also welcomed the attack with his own fist. When the two fists collided, Di Chen was forced to take a few steps back, but the flower pavilion remained still. After his body had been refined into a ghost, his strength had increased by several levels.


    Previously, You Qin had said before that although Di Chen was strong now, there were still many people stronger than him.


    The Flower Hall rushed over once again. Di Chen immediately took out his Blast Character Formula and shouted, "Explode!"


    The flower pavilion took out a small shield in time. The shield was like a crystal, sparkling and translucent crystal. The powerful force was blocked by the shield, causing the flower pavilion to retreat a few steps, but it did not harm him.


    "This is the Earth Artifact Mystic Crystal Shield. Although your cultivation technique is powerful, it is unable to break through this Mystic Crystal Shield."


    Di Chen used the Blast Character Formula a few more times. According to what the Flower Hall said, the Blast Character Formula was unable to break through the Profound Crystal Shield, but in reality, the Flower Hall was also shocked. His Profound Crystal Shield''s spirit had been greatly damaged, and this was the first time he realized that there was something that could injure the Profound Crystal Shield to such an extent.


    "Go and die," The Flower Hall rushed towards Di Chen once again as the ghost claws reached towards Di Chen. This time, Di Chen did not dodge in time and was struck ruthlessly, ripping off a few pieces of flesh from his chest.


    The Flower Tower replied coldly, "You are only so-so."


    Di Chen thought for a while and took out a slip of paper with the word "spear" written on it and threw it out. Similarly, a piece of paper with the word "turtle" written on it was mixed within the slip of paper.


    "That''s it?" The Flower Hall could feel that this technique was weaker than the Blast Character Formula, so he used the Profound Crystal Shield to block above his head. The long spears hit the Profound Crystal Shield but were unable to break through it.


    When the clear fish saw this, it sneered: "It''s useless. With your strength, you won''t be able to break this Profound Crystal Shield.


    However, just at this moment, the flower pavilion''s body suddenly turned into a turtle, and the crystal shield fell to the ground. The flower pavilion, which had turned into a turtle, was naturally unable to block those spears.


    "This ¡­" The clear fish''s face was filled with shock. A person in the flower tower turning into a turtle?


    He had just beaten Di Chen until he was forced to retreat, but in the blink of an eye, he was killed?


    However, his body was still pierced by a few pikes, and they were all fatal points. He looked at Di Chen in disbelief, this technique was too mystical, to the point that he did not know how to block it. He had a face of unwillingness, but in the end, he died.


    Di Chen didn''t even look at the flower pavilion, and smiled towards the clear fish: "It''s your turn."


    The clear fish did not dare to fight with Di Chen, so it turned and ran. Di Chen wrote a single word spear in his hand, wanting to kill him.


    "Di Chen," At this time, You Xiang walked out and said: "Forget it, let him live."


    Di Chen thought for a while, then retracted his power and frowned: I never thought that he would actually come to kill me, I think he won''t be satisfied.


    You Xiang shook her head: "Our Nether Moon Sect''s rules are very strict. Inner disciples are not allowed to fight here, even if you do not kill him, he will be dead for sure."


    Then, he looked at the flower pavilion and sighed: "His strength is not bad, what a pity, I''m guessing that he must have listened to the words of the clear fish."


    However, You Xiang never expected that he would come and kill Di Chen. In fact, even if she thought about it, it was understandable, as the flower pavilion really liked You Qin, and now that the clear fish was provoking their ears, they knew that the flower pavilion would definitely not even think about killing Di Chen.


    But how could the Flower Hall be Di Chen''s match? Him killing Di Chen was simply courting death.


    Di Chen thought that he had to leave the Nether Moon Sect early, otherwise there would be more trouble.


    The death of the Flower Pavilion did not cause too much of a commotion in the Nether Moon Sect, his death was as if no one knew, the Nether Moon was still as calm as before, and during this period of time, Di Chen was still cultivating, just that he had not broken through to the seventh level of King Wen yet. If he wanted to break through, he would need to go to Ning Fu''s library to have a look, but during this period of time, Ning Fu had never seen Di Chen, nor had Di Chen ever seen her before.


    Five days later, You Qin finally found Di Chen and said, "Sect Leader wants to see you."


    had a great conversation with her last time, but he actually still wanted to see her quite a bit, so he anxiously went to see Ning Fu. This time, they did not meet at the Heart Pavilion, but the Heart Congealing Pavilion.


    When she entered the Heart Congealing Pavilion, she saw Ning Fu standing in the middle, with many members of the Nether Moon Sect beside him. Most of them were women, and Jing Lan and Ruo Yun were amongst them.


    When Di Chen went in, every single one of them looked at Di Chen curiously. Recently, everyone knew that an outsider had come from Nether Moon Sect, but he was not a member of the Nether Moon Sect, so everyone did not understand why Ning Fu still wanted to keep him here.


    "Coming," Ning Fu laughed as she looked at Di Chen.


    Di Chen clasped his hands together: "I see, it''s Sect Leader Ning, I did not know about it earlier, and was extremely rude to you, please forgive me."


    Ning Fu laughed and waved her hand, she suddenly thought of something and asked: "You were the one who killed the flower pavilion, right?"


    Di Chen did not hide anything and said: "I was only protecting myself, he forced me to do so."


    Ning Fu laughed: "I don''t blame you for that, I only brought you here because there are some things that I need to let you know, I''ll take a seat first."


    Hearing that, everyone was startled, they looked at Di Chen with a weird expression, although they were not discussing, but Di Chen could vaguely guess that it was not a simple matter, he should not be here, but it made Di Chen uneasy.


    Ning Fu did not explain as she took out a order badge, this was stolen from the Five Poisons Sect, her spirit force fusing into the order badge, the order badge released a bit of starlight, which condensed into a scroll, on the outside of the scroll wrote Poison Dragon''s Palm.


    Ning Fu accepted the scroll and calmly looked at the crowd: "The ancient top ten sects'' Sect Leader medallions all contain their sect''s suppressing cultivation technique, the Poison Dragon''s Palm is the Five Poisons Sect''s suppressing cultivation technique, today I will take this cultivation technique out, I will carve this cultivation technique into a few copies, and any disciple of my Nether Moon Sect can cultivate it."


    Hearing that, everyone became excited, they had originally thought that only the Sect Leader and their successors could cultivate this technique, but the Nether Moon s were not suitable for cultivation, since one had to know that learning the Poison Dragon Palm could increase one''s strength by at least ten times.


    Today was the first time Di Chen heard that there were hidden techniques in the Sect Leader medallion, he thought that there must be hidden techniques in his Eternal Emblem, but why didn''t Yu Xuanji tell him?


    But even if Yu Xuanji were to say it, it would be of no use, since Di Chen was a literati after all, and he could not cultivate the Eternal Gate''s techniques.


    "You Qin," Yu Xuanji handed the cultivation technique to her and said, "You handle this matter."


    "Yes," You Qin said as she received the cultivation technique.


    Ning Fu continued: We, Nether Moon have just reappeared, and we do not have many members, so we do not have much strength left, I hope you all will work hard to cultivate, if you all have talent, I will not be stingy with my pills and cultivation technique, you all can use the resources provided by Nether Moon Sect, alright?


    Every single time, Ning Fu wouldn''t speak for too long. She would hurriedly pass down a few words before letting everyone leave, and then look at Di Chen and say: "Di Chen, come with me. I want to chat with you."


    Hearing this, everyone looked at Di Chen in doubt, thinking that he was just an outsider, why would Sect Leader make him stay behind?


    Even You Qin felt it was strange, it was as though the Sect Leader was too intimate with Di Chen, why would she take care of him like that?


    Ning Fu brought Di Chen into the inner room. There were many books in one of the rooms, and these were all ancient books. Many of the ancient books were forbidden books outside, and simply could not be bought.


    "Sect Leader Ning Fu, why are there so many books here?"


    Di Chen curiously looked around, some of the books were solo.


    Ning Fu laughed and said: "You calling me Sect Leader makes me a little uncomfortable, so you better continue to call me Big Sister Ning Fu, this way it will make me feel closer."


    Previously, when Di Chen talked with her, he felt that they were a lot closer to each other.


    Ning Fu said: "Actually, the Ning family that I live in was also a scholar, so I liked reading since I was young, but later on there were some unforeseen events. Di Chen, take a look and see if there are any books that you like, you can take them."


    These books were suitable for Di Chen to cultivate. Taking out any one of these books would be considered a treasure to Di Chen, but of course, Di Chen did not find any books that was filled with the powers of a scholar like the < Soul Painting >.


    Di Chen picked up a book. Inside the book, there were some poems and songs written by a single author. Di Chen guessed that the person writing these poems should be a woman, and that there was a deep sense of longing within the poem, so he guessed that she must be someone who had lost her lover.


    Ning Fu quietly waited for Di Chen to flip through the book, and when he stopped, he asked: "How are the poems?"


    Di Chen laughed: "Sister Ning Fu, these are all written by you, right?"


    Previously, when Di Chen had conversed with Ning Fu, he could faintly guess what kind of character she had.


    Ning Fu was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "You''re really smart, this was written by me many years ago, if you like it I can give it to you."


    Di Chen shook his head: "Ning Fu seems to also really like these poems. I cannot accept them, but I can make a copy, and making a copy would be beneficial for my cultivation."


    "Alright, I''ll help you prepare a pen and ink," Ning Fu immediately brought out a pen and ink, and like before, she grinded the ink and paper for Di Chen, while Di Chen copied a poem. After copying one of the poems, Ning Fu would take the paper and put a layer of white paper on top of it, like a servant girl serving Di Chen.

 C230

    Two days later!


    Di Chen took a deep breath and put down the brush. He had finally finished copying it, and he felt that the power of the scholars in his body had increased by a lot as well. He did not know when he had already broken through to the seventh level of King Wen.


    When Di Chen was copying the good books, he had participated in the training of the scholars very quickly. Ning Fu''s book was very well written and had a lot of longing, for this kind of book that contained a person''s feelings, the powers of scholars were especially rich, it was suitable for literati to cultivate, but at most, it could only be cultivated once for Di Chen.


    "Your cultivation increased again?" Ning Fu could faintly feel Di Chen''s strength increasing.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "I have now broken through to the seventh level of King Wen, but it will be difficult to break through again."


    In fact, this speed had already far surpassed Di Chen''s imagination. Di Chen originally thought that he would at most reach the seventh level of King Wen before the competition between the three major sects. Now, it seemed that it wasn''t just that.


    Ning Fu laughed, "There are still many books here that you have yet to read. You can stay and slowly cultivate."


    Di Chen shook his head: "That won''t do, I still have some things to do, I need to leave this place."


    Hearing this, Ning Fu''s face changed, but returned to normal very quickly, and said: "What is it, I can send people to help you."


    Di Chen shook his head: "I''ll have to go by myself."


    Zi Yan was still in Mo Family, so Di Chen was worried that she would be safe. Furthermore, in a short period of time, it would be the competition between the three academies, and Di Chen had promised Zhao Fusheng that he would participate as well. After Di Chen killed Jing, the Martial King was the strongest, so if did not appear, Famous Sword Academy would definitely lose miserably.


    Ning Fu seemed to not want Di Chen to leave this place, and she advised: "Di Chen, isn''t it good for you to stay? You can continue to cultivate here, read books, and I can help you grind the ink. Why do you have to leave? "


    Di Chen felt that these words were strange, why did she have a dejected expression?


    Di Chen did not think too much into it, and said: "I will be back, but I will be leaving for now."


    Ning Fu shook his head: "But I really don''t want you to leave here. Di Chen, promise me, don''t leave, okay?"


    If it was Liu Jingjing who said this, perhaps would still be able to accept it. However, Ning Fu''s words made Di Chen somewhat suspicious.


    "Sister Ning Fu, it''s not like I''m ¡­" Di Chen wanted to say something.


    "Di Chen," Ning Fu suddenly roared loudly, "why did you betray me?"


    Her eyes revealed killing intent as her spirit energy surged. She slowly walked towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s face changed as he slowly retreated, "Sister Ning Fu, what are you doing? How did I betray you?"


    Ning Fu shot forward like an arrow and grabbed Di Chen''s neck, forcefully lifting him up. Her eyes were scarlet red, as though she wanted to kill Di Chen.


    This scene happened too suddenly, so suddenly that even Di Chen was unable to understand why Ning Fu, who was very gentle and gentle a moment ago, would actually want to kill him?


    Ning Fu glared at Di Chen with venomous eyes, as though he was looking at someone he loved deeply but had betrayed him. He waved his hand hard and directly smashed Di Chen out of the window, causing Di Chen to cough out a mouthful of blood. Lying on the ground, he couldn''t even stand up straight.


    This commotion attracted both You Qin''s and You Xiang''s attention. The two of them walked over and saw that Di Chen had been injured.


    You Qin hurriedly helped Di Chen up, and said in shock: "Di Chen, how are you?"


    Di Chen wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and said: "I''m fine, I just suffered some internal injuries."


    At this time, Ning Fu broke out of the window, stared coldly at Di Chen and said: "I have been pretty good to you during this period of time, have helped you cultivate, yet you betrayed me. What I hate the most is others betraying me, Di Chen, you deserve to die."


    She said the word betrayal again, but even You Qin and You Xiang had faces full of suspicion, Di Chen was not even from the Nether Moon Sect, how could he talk about betrayal?


    Furthermore, this was the first time they had seen Ning Fu so angry.


    Ning Fu said in a low voice: "You Qin, hurry up and kill this Di Chen."


    "What?" had let her go, but then she had changed her mind. You Qin had originally been rejoicing, but now she wanted to kill Di Chen?


    "Sect Leader ¡­" You Qin asked: "Why did you kill him?"


    Ning Fu berated him: "He is not a member of my Nether Moon Sect, shouldn''t he know our Nether Moon Sect''s secret?"


    But you were the one who took the initiative to tell Di Chen the secrets of the Nether Moon Sect, why do you want to kill him now?


    Seeing that You Qin was not willing to make a move, Ning Fu said softly: "What, even you want to betray me?"


    "Elder sister ¡­" You Xiang quickly advised Ning Fu. She knew that if You Qin did not make a move, even she would be in danger, so she said: "Hurry up and make a move."


    Compared to Di Chen, she was naturally more willing for You Qin to live.


    You Qin looked at Di Chen, thought about it, and still took out the Spirit Sword, saying: "Di Chen, I''m really sorry ¡­"


    After saying that, she swung her sword downwards. However, at the same time that she slashed downwards, her hand felt as if it had been pierced by a needle, causing her Spirit Sword to fall directly to the ground.


    You Qin was startled, she saw that Di Chen was holding onto a scarecrow, the scarecrow that Jie Qian had given to him before.


    "You Qin, I am truly sorry," Di Chen pushed himself off the ground and stood up, then looked at Ning Fu and said: "Sister Ning Fu, I do not understand why you would want to kill me so suddenly, but I cannot die, and I also cannot stay here. I must leave, because this scarecrow can control You Qin, I know she is the descendant of your Nether Moon Sect, and it is not easy for the ancient sects to choose a second disciple for their top ten sects, I believe that you will not be able to find one, so you must not want me to kill her, so you should let me go, if you really want to kill me, then I will kill her."


    "Di Chen..." You Xiang was a little angry after hearing this, he had no choice but to kill Di Chen, but how could Di Chen use his life to threaten Sect Leader?


    You Qin did not say anything, she did not know whether Di Chen''s words were true or false, and did not know whether or not he had such a use in Ning Fu''s eyes. She only knew that if Ning Fu wanted to kill Di Chen, he would also die.


    This scarecrow''s curses were very strong, as long as Di Chen managed to hit his head, he would be able to kill her in an instant. Di Chen was secretly glad that he had picked up You Qin''s hair previously.


    "You seem to be quite familiar with the affairs of the top ten sects."


    Ning Fu stared at Di Chen for a while, and then after a long while of silence, she said: "Alright, I won''t kill you, but you have to let You Qin go."


    Hearing this, You Xiang and Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Di Chen had seen eye to eye, the people from the Sect Leader s of the ten great sects were not randomly chosen.


    Di Chen calmly replied: "I don''t want to kill You Qin, I just want to leave this place."


    Ning Fu did not seem to be bothered with talking to Di Chen anymore, she looked at him and said: "Let him go."


    You Qin took out his order badge and rays of light appeared from it. The space in front of him distorted and a vortex appeared, which was the way out.


    Ning Fu stared at Di Chen and said: "Di Chen, I have treated you quite well during this period of time, it was you who betrayed me, I will not let you go."


    Di Chen didn''t even know how to reply. He had been communicating happily with her recently, and if not for Ning Fu, it would have been impossible for him to break through into the seventh level of King Wen in such a short period of time, and he even copied down Ning Fu''s poems. However, he really didn''t understand why Ning Fu would suddenly turn hostile like this, and although it was a little regretful, Di Chen couldn''t do anything about it.


    "You Qin," Ning Fu said in a low voice, "I don''t care what method you use to kill Di Chen, if he is alive, I want to see his corpse."


    With that, she returned to the room.


    You Qin and You Xiang looked at each other, but the two of them really did not understand why Ning Fu would suddenly change her mind.


    After Di Chen left the Nether Moon Sect, he returned to the side room from before. It had already been a few days, yet Jie Qian was still there, as if he was waiting for Di Chen.


    "Why are you still here?" Di Chen looked at Jie Wei in surprise.


    Jie Qian did not say anything, he only looked at Di Chen calmly.


    Di Chen did not have much time to explain, he pulled Jie Long and said: "We need to quickly leave this place."


    The two of them quickly left the inn, and very quickly, You Qin and You Xiang caught up. Luckily, Di Chen had disappeared long ago.


    Outside Crystal City.


    Di Chen thought that they wouldn''t be able to catch up, and then sighed a breath of relief, looked at Jie Long and said: "Luckily you were a scarecrow, otherwise I would have lost my life."


    She pointed at the scarecrow in Di Chen''s hand. Only now did Di Chen know that she was prepared to take Di Chen back, that Di Chen had originally thought he had already given it to his.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly thought of something and asked: "Did you know that I would be in danger? That''s why you gave me this scarecrow?"


    He actually knew that he was in danger, and luckily she had gifted him the scarecrow, giving him a way to control You Qin. Under the circumstances, Di Chen could have quickly killed You Qin, but it was impossible for him to kill You Qin in front of Ning Fu at peace.


    The two of them had a good relationship with each other, why did she suddenly change? He thought that maybe Yu Xuanji knew a little about it.


    Di Chen looked at Jie Wei and asked: "What are you going to do next?"


    Jie Qian looked at Di Chen and did not say a word. Di Chen had a weird look on his face as he said: "Are you planning to follow me?"


    Then, she held Di Chen''s hand and held it very tightly, as if she was afraid that Di Chen would abandon her.


    Di Chen was troubled. "But, it''s too dangerous to follow me. I have many enemies and the place I''m heading to is also dangerous."


    Jie Long shook his head, showing that he was not afraid. Di Chen thought that she had decided to follow him, and nodded in agreement, thinking that with the unique powers of the cultivation technique, he might be able to help him in the future. It was also a good thing to bring her along.

 C231

    Jie Yuan had no one to rely on, Di Chen really did not want to abandon her. Although being a Mage was not bad, but she was still young, and was easily taken advantage of by others, so Di Chen had no choice but to bring her along.


    Di Chen originally wanted to go to the Famous Sword Academy first, but he was really worried that Zi Yan would be in danger if he stayed alone in the Mo Family, so he went there.


    There were Snow demon everywhere on the Tianshan and some of them had already surpassed the Demon Emperor Realm. It was very difficult for Di Chen to get on the Tianshan.


    "Di Chen..." A while ago, he heard that Di Chen was captured by He Shao from the He family. That guy was extremely cruel, and thought that Di Chen had died, but he actually came back?


    Di Chen laughed, "That''s right, we were lucky enough to escape from He Shao''s hands. Oh right, are Mo Xun and Mo Yun''er alright?"


    "They have nothing to do, but Xun Er thought you had died and was very depressed during this period of time ¡­"


    Speaking up to here, he suddenly thought of something, and anxiously said: "Di Chen, quickly follow me up the mountain. Your Famous Sword Academy junior sister Zi Yan might be in danger."


    The two of them quickly rushed to the top of the mountain. On the way, after hearing Mo Xin''s words, Di Chen finally understood that the reason the people of Mo Family did not kill Zi Yan was because Di Chen was very useful to them. They needed to use Zi Yan to control Di Chen.


    The people of Mo Family wanted Zi Yan to enter the fighting ground. Although Mo Yuner and Mo Xun had opposed it before, but the others had agreed to it, including Mo Feng and Family Head, so Mo Xun and Mo Yuner had no other choice, and Zi Yan had entered the fighting ground today.


    Mo Family.


    This time, there were not many people on fighting ground, after all, Zi Yan was the only one challenging fighting ground.


    The most convenient people in the fighting ground was Mo Xiuwen. Beside him were Mo Yuner, Mo Feng, Mo Xun, the Demon Abyss father and son, Mo Xiao and Mo Hong, and other than them, there were a few other elders of the Mo Family.


    "Father, that''s not good," Mo Yuner still wanted to advise Mo Xiuwen. If it was before, she would definitely not object, but Di Chen had saved her before, and now that Di Chen had just "died", they did not care about Zi Yan''s life. Previously, Mo Yuner had promised to protect Zi Yan, so she was a little against him.


    Mo Feng disapproved: "This Zi Yan has already broken through to the Martial King realm, his strength is considered alright, but that does not mean that our Mo Family needs her. Yun''er, now that Di Chen is dead, this Zi Yan has to prove her worth."


    The Mo Family would definitely not allow those useless trash to stay in the clan. Without Di Chen''s support, Zi Yan was simply unworthy of protection.


    Mo Xun said angrily: "You guys are too much. If Di Chen was still here, he would definitely be angry."


    The Demon Abyss laughed: "Before, I heard that the reason you kept Zi Yan here was because of his, but now that she is dead, what use does it have? During this period of time, our Mo Family gave her resources to cultivate, but her talent is too poor, and he has only broken through to Martial King. If it was me, I would have already killed her.


    Mo Xiao also agreed, "This kind of person who doesn''t have talent simply doesn''t have any value in the Martial Region Continent. It might not be a bad thing for them to die."


    In terms of cultivation, Zi Yan''s talent was indeed very poor. An expert of the Mo Family guided Zi Yan, but Zi Yan had only broken through to the Martial King realm, so his talent was not even worth mentioning in the Mo Family.


    "But ¡­" Mo Xun still wanted to speak.


    "Alright," Mo Xiuwen interrupted: "I have already decided, whether or not she can survive will depend on herself. Furthermore, I am only letting her challenge a Demonic King of the fourth rank.


    In the past, those who entered the fighting ground would challenge demonic beast s of the same realm, from Level One to Nine. There were many of them, but today, they had only asked Zi Yan to challenge a Level Four Demonic King.


    No one said a word, they were all staring at Zi Yan.


    Zi Yan looked around calmly. He had been by Di Chen''s side for a long time already, so she was not afraid at all.


    Just then, the eastern door of the fighting ground opened and a twenty feet long demonic beast walked out. This demonic beast was like a tiger but not a tiger, like a lion but not a lion.


    "Ink Qilin ¡­" Seeing the demonic beast, Mo Yuner''s face changed. Although this demonic beast was only a level 4 Demonic King, it was comparable to many level 5 Demonic King. How could Zi Yan fight against such a demonic beast?


    When they saw the Ink Kylin, they sentenced Zi Yan to death. Only Mo Yuner did not say that.


    The Ink Kylin opened its mouth and roared, its saliva dripping onto the ground, and then pounced towards Zi Yan.


    Zi Yan was very clear that a normal cultivation technique would be very difficult to deal with this Ink Qilin. She pointed at the center of his brows and three Blood-Drinking Sword flew out, landing on the Ink Qilin''s body consecutively with a tinkling sound. The Blood-Drinking Sword''s power was very strong, it slashed at the scales of the Ink Qilin, causing blood to flow out.


    "Blood-Drinking Sword?" Seeing the three swords, everyone was shocked: "This Blood-Drinking Sword belongs to our Mo Family, how could she refine it into a martial soul?"


    "I heard that Mo Xie and the rest were killed outside. This woman previously only had Lifestealer Realm, she couldn''t have killed Mo Xie and the rest. Does she know who killed Mo Xie?"


    "She''s amazing too. She can actually refine three Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul. What about the other two?"


    The Mo Family had always been searching for the culprit who killed Mo Xie and the others, in an attempt to find the Blood-Drinking Sword. However, he had never found its location, who would have thought that the Blood-Drinking Sword would actually be by their side?


    Everyone was surprised that not only did Zi Yan possess Blood-Drinking Sword, but she had actually refined all three swords into martial soul s. Her talent was average, but how did he manage to do something that so many geniuses in the Mo Family could not do?


    Mo Xiuqi''s gaze suddenly fell on Mo Yuner, and said: "You were the one who brought her back. You should know that the Blood-Drinking Sword is with her."


    Mo Yuner did not try to hide the truth, but it was also impossible for her to speak of the truth, and she calmly replied: "I know, that the person who killed Mo Xie and the others was the person from the Famous Sword Academy, but that person had already been killed by Mo Feng and I, and these five Blood-Drinking Sword had already flowed into Zi Yan''s hands, and were refined into her martial soul. Thinking about it, Di Chen had helped her with this, and the reason why I kept her is not only because of Di Chen.


    She didn''t directly say that Di Chen had killed Mo Xie because she was afraid that others would kill Zi Yan for this.


    Mo Feng also did not explain the specific situation, but he was actually not too concerned about the death of Mo Xie and the others.


    Mo Xiuqi said angrily, "Since you know where the Blood-Drinking Sword is, why haven''t you told us?"


    Mo Yuner said calmly: "The Blood-Drinking Sword has already been refined by her into a martial soul, what use is there if I say it?"


    The Blood-Drinking Sword''s soul was extracted from Zi Yan''s forehead and merged into the center of his brows, becoming the Sword Martial Spirit. It was no longer the original Blood-Drinking Sword.


    Mo Xiuqi said: "This Blood-Drinking Sword belongs to our Mo Family, so we can merge it with the disciple of Mo Family."


    Mo Xiuwen suddenly opened his mouth and said: "If the disciples of Mo Family had the ability, we would have done so a long time ago. The reason why we gave the five Blood-Drinking Sword to Mo Xie and the others was because no one could turn the sword into a martial soul.


    Mo Xiuqi originally wanted to say something, but Mo Xiuwen did not even give him the chance, so he could be considered to have heard it, and was afraid that Mo Xiuwen would already know about it.


    It seemed that no one in the Mo Family was able to refine a Blood-Drinking Sword into a martial soul. Everyone was just curious how Di Chen had helped Zi Yan to do it.


    Everyone continued to stare at Zi Yan as the Ink Kylin continued to charge at Zi Yan. It was obvious that Zi Yan was barely defending against it with three Sword Martial Spirit s.


    The four Blood-Drinking Sword s flew through the air and pierced through the Ink Qilin''s body. However, they were barely able to stop it, so it was still a little difficult to kill it.


    The Ink Kylin roared, spitting out a black pillar of energy towards Zi Yan. Zi Yan immediately controlled the Blood-Drinking Sword to cut towards the pillar of air.


    CHI *


    The pillar of air was unable to withstand a single blow from the four Blood-Drinking Sword and was easily destroyed by Zi Yan. Usually, the Black Qilin would be able to kill many Level 4 Martial Kings with this move.


    The Ink Kylin seemed to be slightly angry at not being able to kill Zi Yan in a short while.


    Zi Yan wasn''t able to block in time at all with the Blood-Drinking Sword and was directly hit by the Ink Qilin''s tail, causing his entire body to be smashed away. He rolled on the ground for a few dozen times, and was unable to stand up for a while.


    Zi Yan tapped the center of his brows, and the fifth Blood-Drinking Sword shot out. The five Blood-Drinking Sword slashed at the Mo Kylin at the same time, and the Mo Kylin''s skin split open as its scales fell from the sky, screaming in pain.


    The combined power of these five Blood-Drinking Sword would be increased by several times, so the Ink Kylin would naturally not be able to resist any longer. In the end, it collapsed onto the ground with a loud bang and was killed by Zi Yan.


    With a wave of his hand, the five Blood-Drinking Sword returned to the center of Zi Yan''s brows.


    "She actually killed the Ink Kylin?" This time, even Mo Feng was slightly surprised. It was not easy to kill a fourth level Demonic King at the first level of the Martial King realm, especially with a rare demonic beast like the Black Qilin.


    "I really didn''t think that she would actually condense all five Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul. She sure has some ability."


    Previously, everyone thought that Zi Yan had only condensed three swords, but in the end, Zi Yan had actually managed to condense a fourth and even a fifth Blood-Drinking Sword, which was impossible for the disciples of Mo Family to do.


    "However, she doesn''t have a lot of battle experience. If she had taken out five Blood-Drinking Sword from the very beginning and killed the Ink Kylin, how could she be injured now?"


    Zi Yan initially wanted to conserve his strength, but in reality, Blood-Drinking Sword required five pairs of powerful teamwork. Not to mention, she was facing a Level Four Ink Qilin, not an ordinary demonic beast, which was why her experience was lacking, if he had engaged in more battles, he wouldn''t be in such a sorry state.

 C232

    Seeing that Zi Yan had won, Mo Xun was immediately excited. "Since she has won, we can keep her here, right?"


    "No," Mo Xiuqi was the first to oppose: "That Blood-Drinking Sword belongs to our Mo Family, how can it be refined into a martial soul by an outsider, even if none of us in Mo Family are able to condense five Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul, so what?


    The Blood-Drinking Sword was an inheritance of the Mo Family, and many people from the Mo Family wanted to refine it. But now, it had been taken advantage of by an outsider, so Mo Xiuqi was naturally unwilling.


    Mo Yuner said angrily: "But the Blood-Drinking Sword has already been sacrificed and refined into a martial soul, crippling it is equivalent to completely destroying the Blood-Drinking Sword, do you really want to do this?"


    "That''s right," Mo Xiuqi said seriously. He would rather destroy the Blood-Drinking Sword than see an outsider use the Blood-Drinking Sword.


    "I agree with big brother. If this Zi Yan doesn''t have a Blood-Drinking Sword, he is nothing. She relied on us Mo Family to have such strength, how can we keep such people."


    The Mo Family was naturally unreconciled with the increase in strength of the Blood-Drinking Sword that had been refined by the Mo Family. Since the Blood-Drinking Sword could no longer be retrieved, he might as well destroy it since it could not be left to outsiders.


    But in reality, Mo Hong only did this because she was afraid that Zi Yan would become Mo Xiao''s competitor. After all, Zi Yan was one of Mo Yuner''s men.


    Mo Xiao also said: "Since she is able to condense Blood-Drinking Sword, it means that her relationship with the person who killed Mo Xie is not bad. How can such a person let him live, I also think it is better to kill him."


    Most of the people in the Mo Family chose to kill Zi Yan, and only Mo Yuner and Mo Xun did not agree. Mo Xiuwen, on the other hand, did not say anything, and was reluctant to let him kill Zi Yan.


    "Now, give me another chance. If she can hold on for one minute in my hands, I''ll let her go."


    Mo Xiao suddenly laughed and said: "This suggestion is very reasonable right?"


    Mo Xun suddenly remembered that Mo Xiao almost killed him earlier. She probably wanted to go up on stage and kill Zi Yan again.


    Mo Xun said angrily, "You are at the seventh level of the Martial King realm and she is only at the first level. How could she endure for so long in your hands?


    Mo Yuner also objected, "When you are at the first level of the Martial King realm, are you able to defend against a seventh level Martial King expert? Mo Xiao, your words are too laughable."


    Martial Region Continent was a genius who fought across borders, but so far, she had only crossed four small realms. Such a person could be very strong, yet she allowed Zi Yan to cross six small realms to fight?


    "We''ve already given her a chance. If you still don''t agree, then we''ll just kill her."


    Mo Xiuqi said in a serious tone. Seems like he also agreed with Mo Xiao''s suggestion.


    Amongst the people in Mo Family, other than Mo Xiuwen, Mo Xiuqi had the most authority, so it was not good for Mo Yuner to refute him.


    "Alright," Mo Xiuwen said earnestly: "Then let her endure for a minute."


    "Father ¡­" Mo Yuner did not want to agree, so she stretched out her hand and interrupted Mo Yuner.


    Mo Xiao immediately jumped into the fighting ground, laughed and said: "I will be your opponent from now on, if you can hold on for more than a minute in my hand, I will let you go."


    Zi Yan''s face changed, he had heard Di Chen say that Mo Xiao was sinister and ruthless, his strength was much stronger than his, how could he hold on for more than a minute?


    Mo Xiao did not speak further. Taking a step forward, he punched towards Zi Yan.


    Zi Yan hurriedly tapped the center of his brows and five Blood-Drinking Sword s flew out, shooting towards Mo Xiao at the same time.


    Mo Xiao summoned a black Spirit Sword, the sword was called the Black Water Sword, and it easily repelled the Blood-Drinking Sword. If the five Blood-Drinking Sword were to be combined, it would definitely be better than a Black Water Sword.


    "You being able to cultivate the Blood-Drinking Sword into martial soul is not weak, but this Sword Martial Spirit alone cannot beat me."


    Mo Xiao quickly rushed to''s front, and his Blackwater Sword pierced towards him. "Die!"


    Zi Yan subconsciously took a step back and immediately took out another Spirit Sword. This Spirit Sword was silvery-white in color, with a lot of sawteeth on the sword blade. It was extremely damaged, and did not look like a Spirit Sword at all.


    "You want to kill me with this kind of broken sword," Mo Xiao did not feel the slightest bit of power from the sword, and the Black Water Sword cut onto Zi Yan''s Spirit Sword.


    The moment the two swords clashed, a loud sound was heard, and a powerful burst of energy dispersed. Zi Yan only felt his arm go numb, and the Spirit Sword was bounced back and stabbed into the ground, flying backwards, while Mo Xiao''s Black Water Sword actually broke into two.


    "What?" This scene caused everyone to be shocked. The sword was actually able to cut apart the Black Water Sword?


    Most importantly, no one could see just how strong Zi Yan''s Spirit Sword was, as though it was just an ordinary broken sword.


    Actually, this was the sword that Zi Yan had obtained from the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, and was then snatched away by Qing Jing. Only Zi Yan was able to unleash its power.


    "I never thought that you would still be hiding such a powerful Spirit Sword. It''s a pity that your cultivation is too weak. Without this Spirit Sword, I want to see how you will defend against me."


    Mo Xiao rushed towards Zi Yan once again, wanting to kill her, but this time, Zi Yan was unable to resist, his expression changing.


    Mo Yuner was also unable to save Zi Yan. She turned her head to the side, as if she did not want to see this scene.


    "Whiz!"


    However, just as Mo Xiao''s fist was about to land on Zi Yan, a spear fell from the sky and shot down towards Mo Xiao. If Mo Xiao were to continue killing Zi Yan, he himself would be pierced through by the spear, and he would immediately give up on killing Zi Yan. Retreating quickly, he nailed the spear in front of Zi Yan, causing the spear''s tail to sway violently, before transforming into Qi and dispersing.


    Many people had seen this technique before, it was Di Chen''s Spear Arts.


    When Zi Yan saw the spear, he was instantly overjoyed. Previously, she seemed to be expressionless, as if he was not interested in living at all.


    Mo Yuner, Mo Xiuwen and the rest were also surprised, who would have thought that guy was actually able to survive He Shao''s hands?


    "Di Chen..." Mo Xun saw Di Chen from far away and rushed over with a joyous expression, pulling him along as he said excitedly: "You didn''t die, did you?"


    Di Chen laughed speechlessly: "You must want me to die."


    Mo Xun laughed heartily: "How can that be? You don''t know that I''ve been worried about you all this time, if you don''t believe me, you can ask Seventh Sister."


    Afterwards, her gaze landed on Jie Duo, who was standing to the side. Her expression immediately darkened, as if she didn''t like her. "Who is this? Why did she come back with you?"


    Di Chen waved his hand: "We''ll talk about it later."


    He was anxious to save Zi Yan now, so he didn''t have the heart to introduce Jie Long. He immediately walked in front of Mo Xiuwen, and said angrily: "We previously agreed that as long as I can survive the fighting ground, you will let Zi Yan go. But why did you allow her to enter the fighting ground now?"


    Di Chen had already survived the fighting ground and logically speaking, regardless of whether he was alive or dead, he should keep his promise and not harm Zi Yan.


    Mo Xiuwen was speechless for a moment. He was indeed in the wrong in this matter, and in reality, he thought the same as everyone else. After Di Chen died, Zi Yan naturally had no value.


    "No matter what, this is a matter of our Mo Family. You have no right to speak."


    Mo Xiuqi disapproved: "Di Chen, although you have passed the competition, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want. We can also kill you."


    Di Chen was speechless, the Mo Family did not have any power of choice, he could kill him at any time. Di Chen thought that even though Mo Xun had always taken care of him, she could not stay in the Mo Family for long, so she had to think of a way to take Zi Yan away.


    Mo Yuner immediately said: "Since Di Chen is back now, then Zi Yan''s battle should be over."


    "No," Mo Xiao from the fighting ground objected, "I said before that she had to endure for a minute."


    Di Chen said coldly, "You are at the seventh level of the Martial King realm, how could you make a first stage martial king cultivator endure for a minute?"


    Mo Xiao disagreed: "One minute isn''t long, if she can''t even last a minute, then she''s not qualified to live."


    Martial Region Continent can only fight with a maximum of four small realms, yet you actually let Zi Yan fight with a maximum of six small realms?


    If even you, Mo Xiao could not do it, then what right do you have to speak in such a boastful manner?


    Di Chen clenched his fist and said angrily: "That''s fine, how about the two of us fighting? You are at the seventh level of the Martial King realm and I am at the seventh level of the King Wen. If you can live longer than ten seconds in my hands, it would count as my loss.


    "The seventh stage of King Wen?" Hearing this, both Mo Yuner and Mo Yuner were shocked. Di Chen had only entered the fifth level of King Wen, but he had unexpectedly broken through outside during this period. What kind of fortuitous encounter did he have?


    Mo Yuner thought that Di Chen was definitely confident in his ability to say that, and that was true, Mo Xiao''s Desolation Spell did not affect Di Chen at all, and with Di Chen''s cultivation, he could definitely suppress Mo Xiao.


    However, Mo Xiao did not care about Di Chen''s cultivation level. He was only angry at Di Chen for being so arrogant.


    "Afraid you won''t win," what Mo Xiao hated the most was others looking down on him. He believed that he had mastered the Desolation Spell, so how could he not beat you, who was at the same level?


    He could tell that Di Chen was confident in himself, but that was only because he was unconvinced. In reality, he didn''t have a bottom line, so maybe Di Chen really could kill Mo Xiao within ten seconds.


    "No," Mo Hong immediately retorted, "This fight has nothing to do with you."


    Di Chen mocked: "You guys allowed a first stage to compete with a seventh stage practitioner, but now he doesn''t dare to fight against someone of the same realm. Is this all you guys have?"


    Mo Hong was speechless, he faintly felt unease, this Di Chen was not simple.


    However, Mo Xiuqi didn''t think much of the excitement, and said smilingly: "Xiao''er has already learnt the Desolation Spell, didn''t you say that there are rarely any opponents in the Martial King Realm, what are you afraid of now?"


    He knew that Di Chen was very strong, even if Mo Xiao could beat him, he would still suffer. This was not a good thing for him.

 C233

    Since Mo Xiao had started cultivating the Desolation Spell, many people had wished for him to die. Now that Di Chen wanted to challenge Mo Xiao, it was actually a good thing for everyone, as they all agreed with him, hoping to see him fight. However, this was not a fight to the death, but a battle to the death.


    "Scared?" Di Chen taunted: "This Mo Xiao dares to fight with a first stage opponent, but does not dare to fight with someone of the same realm. Is this all he has?"


    No one had mocked him like that ever since Mo Xiao had started cultivating in the Desolation Spell.


    "Di Chen, I, Huang Xiao, am not afraid of you." Mo Xiao was also an impulsive person, how could he take such an insult from Di Chen?


    Di Chen laughed, and without caring about how Mo Hong objected to it, he directly jumped into the fighting ground. He first arrived in front of Zi Yan, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"


    Zi Yan shook his head: "I''m fine, just some internal injuries. I''ll be fine after recuperating for a while."


    Hearing this, Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and told Zi Yan to retreat to the side. Only then did he look at Mo Hong and coldly said, "Ten seconds, starting from the moment you made your move."


    Mo Xiao was completely enraged by Di Chen''s arrogance. His Origin Energy gushed out crazily as he pounced over, "Ten Desolate Force."


    A heavy force pressed down towards Di Chen like a small mountain, this punch probably had the strength of Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm.


    Di Chen immediately took out a note with the word "explode" on it and threw it. The power of the scholar poured into it and shouted: "Explode!"


    An explosion sounded as the powerful force pushed Mo Xiao a few steps back. One of his arms had been blown off and fresh blood gushed out.


    After Di Chen broke through to the seventh level of the King Wen, the power of the Blast Character Formula became even stronger.


    "Bastard, you actually dared to injure me to such an extent," Mo Xiao picked up a strange Method of travelling with one hand and started reciting the words "Desolation Spell" at the corner of his mouth.


    Mo Xiuwen could already faintly feel the power of the Desolation Spell. This was the first time he had seen someone use this forbidden spell, and he could not help but be curious.


    Although Mo Hong did not want Mo Xiao to fight with Di Chen, but when Mo Xiao unleashed his Desolation Spell, Mo Xiao was still very confident that no one else would be able to defend against it.


    Mo Xiuqi and the rest were curious too, they really wanted to know if Di Chen could handle this Incantation.


    Di Chen only felt a strange power coming into his ears, in his mind, the effects of a sinister evil ghost appeared, it was as if the evil ghost could tear his soul apart.


    This Desolation Spell did not attack a human''s body, but a human''s mind. It was a little like Jie Long''s magic, ordinary people would not be able to resist it, but Di Chen was not afraid.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "Tranquil" written on it, the power of the scholar poured inside, the word "Tranquil" flashed, and a gentle power fused into Di Chen''s body, causing the demonic scene in Di Chen''s head to disappear.


    The Tranquil formula could calm its mind and not be affected by any external forces, which was perfect for restraining a technique like the Desolation Spell.


    "Useless?" Mo Xiao was shocked, he realised that Di Chen''s body was still relaxed, as though he was not affected by the technique at all.


    "My turn," Di Chen''s body stepped forward, and in the next moment he appeared in front of Mo Xiao, throwing out a punch.


    Mo Xiao never thought that the Desolation Spell would not have any effect on Di Chen, and in a moment of time, he was unable to block it. He was directly punched by Di Chen, and his entire body flew out, rolling on the ground before he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "Three more seconds," Di Chen said as he took another step towards Mo Xiao. He had said that he would kill Mo Xiao within ten seconds, not just by defeating him, Mo Xiao had no way of resisting this time.


    "Not good," Mo Hong naturally did not want for Mo Xiao to be killed. With a single step, she rushed to the front of the fighting ground and stared coldly at Di Chen.


    Di Chen cursed, and quickly retreated, if he were to continue fighting, he was afraid that Mo Xiao would kill him.


    "This is my duel with Mo Xiao, and you actually interfered?"


    Di Chen sneered: "You don''t follow the rules of your Mo Family do you?"


    "Di Chen, do you also know that this is the Mo Family? I don''t care who you have backing you, do you believe that I can kill you right now?"


    Di Chen laughed but did not speak, he did not have anyone to support him, he believed that Mo Xiao would really do that.


    Mo Hong naturally would not actually kill Di Chen. She carried Mo Xiao and prepared to leave.


    Mo Xiao was only at the seventh stage of the Martial King realm, so he was far inferior to Di Chen. It was too easy for Di Chen to wipe away his cultivation, and in just a few seconds, Di Chen had wiped away most of his life force, leaving him with half a month. That way, even if Mo Xiao died, he would not be able to live on Di Chen''s body.


    At this time, Di Chen finally helped Zi Yan up, and said with a smile: "It''s alright now, let''s go."


    Everyone in Mo Family watched Di Chen silently, this time they finally realised how terrifying Di Chen was, even the Mo Family''s forbidden technique, the Desolation Spell could not kill him?


    It was Mo Family''s fortune to be able to win over such a person, it was just that the demon dweller almost killed Zi Yan this time around, he had probably offended Di Chen.


    "Father," Mo Yuner said. "Don''t make things difficult for Zi Yan and Di Chen anymore, help her cultivate and give his the resources you gave his before."


    Mo Xiuqi immediately objected: "That''s not good. This Zi Yan took our Mo Family''s Blood-Drinking Sword, are we just going to leave it like that? Moreover, Di Chen might have had a bad feeling about our Mo Family this time. Leaving him alive is also a disaster, I think it would be better to just kill him off. "


    The Mo Family went back on their words and almost caused Zi Yan to die in anger. Just now, Di Chen almost killed Mo Xiao, so leaving such a person alive was an uncertain factor.


    "No," Mo Yuner immediately said. "I believe that Di Chen won''t do anything out of line to our Mo Family, after all, he had saved us before, so I will guarantee that Di Chen won''t do anything to us.


    "Alright, this is what you said. Yuan''er, let''s go." After all, Mo Yuner had a high chance of inheriting the position of Family Head. If Di Chen really wanted to go back to the Mo Family, then Mo Yuner would have to leave the Mo Family, and in that way, the Demon Abyss would have the most chance of doing so.


    Mo Feng sighed slightly, thinking to himself, is Mo Yuner''s promise worth it?


    Mo Xiuwen was a little regretful in his heart, thinking that if he did not let Zi Yan participate in this fighting ground, Di Chen would not have any ill intentions towards the Mo Family.


    Mo Yuner didn''t say a word as she walked to Di Chen''s side and said apologetically: "Di Chen, I''m really sorry this time, I have no other choice."


    Di Chen stopped and looked at Mo Yuner with fury: "You promised me that you wouldn''t let Zi Yan get injured."


    Di Chen had asked Mo Yuner before he saved Mo Xun not to make things difficult for him, but now, the people of Mo Family allowed Zi Yan to enter the fighting ground, and even allowed her to compete with a person at the seventh level of the Martial King Realm.


    Mo Yuner knew that she had slightly let Di Chen down this time. She did not speak, and in fact, it was already very rare for Mo Yuner to scold her based on her temper.


    Mo Xun advised: "Di Chen, don''t blame my Seventh Sister, she has no other choice.


    Di Chen was too lazy to pursue this matter anymore, and said: "Let us leave this place."


    Mo Yuner slightly shook her head: "Di Chen, I cannot make this decision. In the future, I can allow you to freely enter and leave the Mo Family and allow you to cultivate outside, but Zi Yan must stay here."


    Mo Family still wanted to use Zi Yan to threaten Di Chen. Now that Di Chen was even stronger than before, how could Mo Family give up on him?


    He could only take things one step at a time when he left the Mo Family.


    Di Chen was a little angry in his heart, but he did not know that he would not be able to bring Zi Yan away. He thought for a while, then pointed at Jie Long: "Arrange a room for her, she will be following me from now on."


    Hearing this, Jie Qian immediately shook his head while grabbing Di Chen''s hand, his eyes staring straight at Di Chen, as if he was unwilling to part with Di Chen.


    Di Chen saw through her thoughts and said blankly: "You can''t possibly live with me, right?"


    Jie Qian did not say anything, and just stared at Di Chen.


    Mo Xun said: "How can that be? You two are neither family nor friends, it''s not appropriate for you two to live together."


    Hearing that, Jie Qian looked at Mo Xun with anger, and even had intentions to kill her. Even though Jie Qian was young, her eyes were still terrifying, causing Mo Xun to shudder.


    Mo Yuner also didn''t know why Jie Wei was so reliant on Di Chen, so she advised: "Di Chen, I''ll still help you arrange for a relatively large room. Take her and live here."


    Di Chen thought that this was the only way. She was a Magus, if he did something out of line, Di Chen could watch.


    "Ok," Di Chen nodded his head, then Mo Yuner arranged a relatively quiet room for Di Chen, and instructed the servants not to disturb Di Chen so that he could cultivate quietly.


    Di Chen first settled Zi Yan down, then let Jie Long make the news first. After that, Mo Yuner also sent Mo Xun away, so she still had some words to say to Di Chen alone.


    When the two of them reached the corner, Mo Yuner asked Di Chen: "How did you escape from He Shao''s hands?"


    Di Chen casually explained: "My luck is not bad, I met a few friends that I knew at the wizard tower and was saved by them. During this period of time, I have been training with them and my cultivation has also increased by a lot."


    Mo Yuner knew that Di Chen did not want to tell his everything. That was true, after going through the matter with Zi Yan, Di Chen''s trust in her had already reached the freezing point. However, this was not the most important matter for Mo Yuner to find Di Chen.


    "Did you kill Mo Xiao?" Mo Yuner asked seriously.


    Of course, Di Chen would not admit it, and said calmly: "He didn''t die, so how am I supposed to kill him?"


    Mo Yuner said: Just like how you killed Xiang Zuo previously, and used your scholar cultivation technique to erase his life, I know you must have done it, don''t worry, his death will be a good thing for me, I won''t blame you, just tell me how much time you have left.


    Di Chen still didn''t want to say it, so he calmly replied, "His life or death has nothing to do with me, but I can tell you this: I can see a person''s lifeline, and he won''t be able to live much longer."


    After saying that, Di Chen no longer wished to say anything else.


    Mo Yuner sighed slightly, thinking that Mo Xiao was not far from death, but it seemed that Di Chen no longer trusted him.

 C234

    After sending Mo Yuner away, Di Chen went to Zi Yan''s room. Zi Yan''s injuries were not light, but luckily he had taken some medicinal pellets and recovered.


    "Di Chen, where have you been all this time?" Ever since Bai Qian died, Zi Yan had always treated Di Chen as his own.


    Di Chen laughed, "I met with some dangers, but luckily it was not dangerous, and my cultivation had increased by a lot. Oh right, your cultivation had also improved a lot, but I didn''t think that you could even kill a Level 4 Ink Qilin."


    Di Chen believed that he did not have the power to kill a fourth level Demonic King when he was at the first level of the Martial King realm, not to mention a terrifying creature like the Ink Kylin.


    Zi Yan laughed: "I also did not expect this Blood-Drinking Sword to be so strong, it''s a pity that I don''t have enough fighting experience, I almost got killed."


    Di Chen could also tell that if Zi Yan had used five Blood-Drinking Sword s from the start, he could have easily killed the Ink Qilin. However, she did not use her full strength because he had wrongly estimated the Ink Qilin''s strength.


    "This Tianshan has a lot of Snow demon. You can hunt more and increase your battle experience."


    Di Chen thought that as long as Zi Yan did not leave the Tianshan, the people would not care: "Oh right, show me the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s sword."


    Zi Yan took out the sword. The sword was broken and it looked ordinary, but when Di Chen looked at it carefully, he did not see how strong the sword was, but why was Zi Yan able to unleash such power?


    "Zi Yan," Di Chen asked curiously, "Have you refined it before?"


    Zi Yan shook his head: "I don''t have time to refine it yet, and I have been attacking the Martial King Realm for this period of time, so this sword is on hold."


    Di Chen quickly threw the sword back to Zi Yan and said: "You refine it first."


    Zi Yan bit his finger and dripped his blood on the sword. The blood immediately merged with the sword and a humming sound came out, followed by a terrifying force sweeping out. This force was so strong that even Di Chen, who was at the level of a Martial King, felt that he was a little slow.


    Chi Xiao suddenly appeared on the body of the Spirit Sword Sword. Di Chen had previously heard someone say that the sword refined by the last would be called the Chi Xiao Sword, but he never thought that it would be the sword refined by Zi Yan.


    Di Chen laughed: "After the refinement, the power of the sword will be even greater. Zi Yan, you already have this Crimson Nimbus Sword and the five Sword Martial Spirit s, and that will be enough for you to establish your foothold."


    On the other hand, martial soul s were different. It would increase along with a person''s cultivation, and as for the Spirit Sword in her hands, without any level, it would also increase along with her strength. Right now, Zi Yan only needed to constantly raise his cultivation.


    Zi Yan nodded, he did not expect to have such an achievement.


    Di Chen and Zi Yan conversed for a while before Di Chen left Zi Yan''s room. After returning, he saw that Jie Qian had been waiting for him the entire time.


    "Jie Long ¡­" Di Chen walked over and asked curiously: "Why are you following me?"


    Previously, Di Chen had almost killed her, but he really did not understand why he would forcefully follow Di Chen, as if he was his closest kin.


    Jie Wei looked at Di Chen in a daze, and only after a long while did he say: "Afraid ¡­"


    Di Chen thought for a while, "Could it be that someone wants to kill you?"


    Di Chen thought that he did indeed need protection, but her ability was not weak either. Someone who wanted to kill her should be very strong.


    "Who wants to kill you?" Di Chen was also worried that Jie Wei''s enemy would bring danger to him, so he didn''t dare to take on the responsibility of protecting Jie Wei.


    Jie Wei softly said, "Patriarch."


    Di Chen was even more unconcerned: "Are you talking about your Clan Leader? Why does he want to kill you?"


    Jie Wei''s eyes darkened: "Succession..."


    Each time she spoke, she would not be able to explain her whole story. Di Chen asked for a long time before he finally managed to understand that Jie Long was the granddaughter of a patriarch of a tribe in Eastern Desolation, but the patriarch had been killed by someone in the tribe later on, and after seizing his position as the patriarch, Jie Long was not even willing to let go of her, and Jie Long had also gone through great difficulty to escape. However, the patriarch had currently sent people to kill her.


    Di Chen thought that protecting Jie Wei might be another problem, but he could not just sit there and do nothing. He thought for a while, then said: "From now on, just follow me."


    A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Jie Qian''s mouth, but it was not a very obvious smile.


    Di Chen would be training in the Mo Family for a period of time, it was just that the cultivation levels of the scholars and warriors had not increased, it would not be easy to break through.


    Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. A huge incident happened in the Sky Mo Family, and Mo Xiao died, very suddenly.


    Mo Xiao had learned the Desolation Spell, and had the chance to inherit the position of Family Head, so the Mo Family placed great importance on Mo Xiao, especially Mo Hong, and placed all his hopes on Mo Xiao. After that, Mo Xiao suddenly died, his hopes failed and his entire being went crazy, no one knew how Mo Xiao died, and no one could find out the reason why, but they could only give up, and only Mo Yuner could guess that it was Di Chen who did it.


    After half a month, it was already a few months since Di Chen had left Famous Sword Academy and the competition between the three great academies was around the corner. Di Chen was ready to leave Mo Family.


    "I''ve previously promised Vice Principal Zhao that I''ll participate in the competition between the three great academies. In another period of time, it''ll be the tournament. I have to go take a look."


    Di Chen found Mo Yuner and told her about the competition between the three great academies.


    Mo Yuner obviously knew, but actually, she was also supposed to participate because she took Di Chen away by force, so it could be considered as leaving the Famous Sword Academy.


    "No problem, but Zi Yan must stay." Mo Yuner still prepared to use Zi Yan as a hostage.


    Di Chen also knew that there was no way to bring Zi Yan away, so he didn''t say anything more. He nodded and said: "If Zi Yan stays here, I will bring Jie Long and leave."


    Jie Qian followed Di Chen around the entire time, so of course she wouldn''t stay behind.


    Di Chen bade farewell to Zi Yan, and left Mo Family with Jie Qian the next day. Originally, Mo Xun had wanted to follow along, but Mo Family did not allow it, so she could only stay.


    The competition for the three great institutions would start a month later. would definitely be too late if he were to return to Famous Sword Academy first before going to Sky Realm Academy, so he prepared to head straight to Sky Realm Academy. Judging by the time, Di Chen should be able to reach there in time.


    Previously, Di Chen had taken a road from Sky Realm Academy to Famous Sword Academy, but this time, taking the road would take a lot of time, so he had to think of a way to directly pass through mountain. Only then would he be able to rush to Sky Realm Academy in time, and then through mountain would he be too dangerous.


    At the foot of mountain.


    Di Shi looked at the towering mountain and sighed, "I have spent too much time in the past, I will just pass through the rock city and then a few cities before I reach the Millennium City. This is the fastest route, but with my strength, going through the mountain would be really dangerous."


    Jie Qian pulled Di Chen''s hand and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "Could it be that you''ve entered the mountain before, that there''s a large number of Demon Emperor s here, how can you possibly be safe?"


    Jie Qian took out a small red bottle and inside the bottle was a transparent liquid. She opened the bottle lid and dripped a drop onto her body, then on Di Chen''s body.


    "What is this?" Di Chen asked doubtfully.


    Jie Long said gently, "Eliminate popularity."


    Di Chen suddenly realized that this spirit liquid was similar to the flower juice of the man-eating flower, it could eliminate the Qi of humans. This way, the demonic beast would not be able to feel its presence, and would be relatively safer.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen thought to himself. Although this bottle of spirit liquid that could remove people''s spirits still could not penetrate mountain, it was at least safer than before.


    Di Chen also tried his best to avoid the demonic beast s, but there were too many of them and he would still occasionally come across them. Fortunately, these demonic beast were not strong enough and were not a threat to Di Chen.


    After walking for two days, Di Chen and Jie Long arrived at the depths of mountain. This place was especially dangerous, Di Chen then dripped some spirit liquid on his body, trying to eliminate the anger, so as to not attract demonic beast.


    BOOM!


    At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from the front as a gale force swept through, uprooting the trees and causing a sandstorm.


    "What a strong power," Di Chen hurriedly pulled the amulet behind him, using his body to forcefully resist the powerful force.


    The sandstorm lasted for more than ten seconds before stopping. When Di Chen saw that his surroundings had been destroyed, he patted the dust off his body and exclaimed: "Such powerful strength, I don''t know who''s in front. Jie Qian, let''s go over there and take a look."


    This was already deep inside the mountain, it wasn''t easy for him to see humans here either. Di Chen didn''t know whether the other party was an enemy or friend, it wasn''t a bad thing to go and take a look first.


    The two of them advanced quietly. After walking for two minutes, they saw a man and a woman, both of them around the age of seventeen or eighteen, probably due to Martial King Realm, and in front of them was a three zhang long snake, with a black crown on its head and a body full of black scales. This was a rare black snake, equivalent to a level nine Demonic King, and it was extremely toxic, causing ordinary Martial King Realm practitioners to die from the poison the moment they were bitten.


    "It''s him?" Di Chen remembered that the man''s name was Su Yun, and was in Clear Water Academy''s academy. When Di Chen first entered Famous Sword Academy, he saw how the people of Clear Water Academy came to challenge him, and in the end, the Clear Water Academy''s Zuo Qing defeated the people of Famous Sword Academy, and Di Chen even helped Famous Sword Academy save face. This Su Yun was one of the experts that came to visit Famous Sword Academy, but he was also defeated by Di Chen at the time.


    Di Chen was not related to him in any way, so naturally, he did not want to save him either.


    Bang!


    However, right at that moment, a powerful force suddenly flipped over and slammed heavily into the ground in front of Di Chen, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and his injuries became unclear.

    "It''s you," Su Yun said as he recognized Di Chen. He immediately shouted, "Save us."


    Di Chen was initially unwilling to do so, but as the black crowned snake had also noticed Di Chen, it actually pounced towards him.


    This kind of ferocious demonic beast would kill anyone they saw, but Di Chen was not injured, so Black Crown Snake would naturally attack him at the first possible moment.


    "Not good," Di Chen couldn''t dodge at all, he immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "Explode" written on it and threw it out, the power of the scholar poured inside and he shouted: "Explode!"


    With a rumble, the black crowned serpent''s head tilted, and a few scales were blasted away. Fresh blood splattered, but because the scales of the black crowned serpent were relatively hard, the damage caused by the Blast Character Formula was not too great.


    Di Chen thought that if it were another demonic beast without scales, this Blast Character Formula could easily be killed, but against this Black Champion Snake, it would be lacking.


    Di Chen immediately punched towards the Black Crown Snake, the scorching power smashed on the snake''s head, causing its neck to tilt and fly out. It twisted its body, unable to even stand up for a moment, and struggled for a few moments before still dying.


    "So strong?" He had already known that Di Chen was very powerful when he fought with him previously, but he had never expected that Di Chen would actually be able to smash Black Crown Snake to death with a single punch.


    The woman in the distance also stared at Di Chen in shock, and she couldn''t react for a moment. After a long time, she rushed to the right side of and helped him up: "Senior Brother Su Jin, are you alright?"


    "It''s fine," said Su Jin as he waved his hand. Then, he looked at Di Chen and said: "Thank you for saving me."


    Di Chen smiled and asked, "This Youzhou is very dangerous, why have you come here?"


    "We''ve been cultivating outside the academy for the past few days and have wasted some time. Right now, we want to visit the Sky Realm Academy to watch the competition between the three great academies, so we want to penetrate through them. In the end, we met this Ink Crown Snake and we bumped into you."


    Di Chen thought that it was no wonder that he would be here. He asked curiously: "You''re also participating in the competition between the three great academies this time?"


    Hearing this, Zuo Jin laughed even more bitterly: "How is that possible, there are too many geniuses in Clear Water Academy, I am not ranked at all, I can only go and take a look."


    Di Chen thought to himself that the Lifestealer Realm that he had trained in was pretty strong, but it was not long either. He guessed that he did not have the qualifications to participate in the competition of the three great academies.


    "Senior brother, who is this?" The maiden said with curiosity. She wondered how someone so close could have known such an expert.


    "He is called Di Chen, and is a member of the Famous Sword Academy. Previously, Zuo Qing was defeated by the Famous Sword Academy alone, so it''s him. Right, this is my junior sister Li Xue."


    "It''s him," Li Xue looked at Di Chen in shock. She knew that Zuo Qing was very strong, and when they were at the Lifestealer Realm, not many people in the Clear Water Academy could compete with him, but he heard that Zuo Qing''s martial soul was destroyed by someone, and his injuries were especially severe. She was still thinking about who could injure Zuo Qing to such an extent.


    Su Yun asked. "Di Chen, what are you doing in the mountain?"


    Di Chen didn''t hide anything and said, "Same as you, I''m preparing to cross over to the Sky Realm Academy. I still have to participate in the competition between the three great academies."


    In other words, Di Chen was also a member of the competition. But right now, Di Chen was in Martial King Realm, so it was likely that he was participating in the competition based on Martial King Realm. However, in such a short amount of time, he was qualified to participate?


    Back then the two of them shared the same Lifestealer Realm, and they were close enough to have the qualifications to compete with Di Chen. But now, they had been left far behind by Di Chen.


    "Then let''s go together. It''s safer." He had only just entered the mountain, and already encountered the Black Crown Snake, so he really didn''t have much confidence in passing through the mountain.


    Di Chen thought for a while but still nodded his head. After that, he got Jie Long to take out the spirit liquid and drip it onto the two of them, eliminating their popularity, only then did they continue their journey.


    Although the mountain had many demonic beast, it was not easy to encounter them with caution. In the following period of time, Di Chen and the other three did not encounter any strong demonic beast.


    After walking for a few more days, the four of them arrived at the deepest part of mountain. This place had a large number of Demon Emperor s, and it was also the most dangerous section.


    "This is the season for the Iron Core Grass to mature, there should be a lot of them in the depths of mountain. Since we''re here, we can look around.


    He suggested.


    This Iron Heart Grass was a very rare Spirit Grass, its grass was usually an azure color, and was extremely hard. After refining it, one''s strength would increase, and it was a necessity for many demonic beast and humans to cultivate.


    Di Chen pondered: "Although we still have a lot of time, but staying here is too dangerous, staying here for a while will cause us to be worried about our lives, I think we should forget about it. It''s more important to keep our lives."


    In fact, Di Chen also wanted to pick the Iron Core Grass, but the problem was that Li Xue and the two of them had average cultivations, so it would not be of much help to Di Chen. Di Chen did not want to take a risk with them.


    Su Yun was still not willing to give up. He took out a beast collar and said: "There''s a Spirit Seeking Mouse inside that can help us quickly find all kinds of Spirit Grass, it won''t take long, since we''re already here, we won''t waste too much time. Also, if there''s really danger, we can just give up."


    "Alright then," Di Chen really couldn''t help but try to persuade his again and again. After thinking about it, he finally nodded his head and agreed. He thought that it would be a good thing if he could get his hands on the Iron Core Grass, and he might even be able to break through his Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm before the competition between the three great academies.


    He was overjoyed and immediately opened the beast collar, followed by a purple rat. This was a Spirit Seeking Mouse, and it was able to find something that had intelligence.


    The Seeking Spirit Mouse sniffed the air and then ran in a certain direction. The few of them immediately followed it and ran in all directions. After about ten minutes, it stopped and stared into the distance without moving.


    "I found it," said Su Bai as he grabbed the mouse and pointed it towards the distance, "There should be some Iron Core Grass over there."


    Di Chen stretched his head out to look, and saw a small blade of grass that was the size of a finger in the distance. This was the Iron Core Grass, it was very hard, and could normally not be refined directly, and needed to be used for alchemy. However, there were six Great Development Heavy Subduing Pigs beside the Iron Hair Grass, which were relatively common, but were unusually fierce.


    He standing right next to Di Chen asked: "Di Chen, can you kill those six Great Yan Heavy Subduing Pigs?"


    These demonic beast were all level nine, they could only barely take on one of them if they worked together with Li Xue and Li Rou.


    Di Chen shook his head: "No, this is too dangerous, I have to think of a way to lure them away."


    After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think with your strength, you can at least attract them for a while. Li Xue and I can use this time to harvest the Iron Core Grass."


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows, telling himself to attract the demonic beast, and he went to pick the Iron Core Grass. If there was someone he knew, Di Chen would probably agree, but Di Chen was very close to him, so what right did Di Chen have to do this?


    He knew that this request was a bit excessive and said embarrassedly: "It''s all my fault that Li Xue and I are too weak. If you manage to get the Iron Heart Grass this time, you can get more."


    Di Chen thought about it but still nodded his head. He quietly walked towards the demonic beast, but at this time, Jie Long pulled Di Chen back and shook his head.


    As a Witch, Jie Qian had a strong sense for danger. She didn''t want Di Chen to go there, so that meant that it was dangerous.


    "It''s fine," Di Chen laughed, but in truth, Di Chen did have the chance to risk his life.


    Jie Qian saw that Di Chen was determined to loosen his mouth.


    It was only then that Di Chen carefully walked over with his cat in tow. The six Grand Subduing Boar, Di Chen, were definitely not his match, he was the first to take out a piece of paper with the words'' Exploding ''written on it, and with the power of Blast Character Formula, he was able to kill the pig. then leaped up, and as he was rushing towards the demon pig, he took out the word "Exploding" and threw it towards one of the demon pigs.


    At the same time, the other demonic beast seemed to have noticed Di Chen and rushed over with a loud roar.


    The moment Di Chen shot out the "exploding" note, he took out another piece of paper with the word "turtle" written on it and threw it out, and once again, turned one of the demon pigs into a turtle.


    In the end, Di Chen arrived in front of a demon pig and smashed his fist onto that demon pig''s body, sending it flying. It died on the spot, and the whole process only lasted a second.


    As for the remaining three, Di Chen didn''t have much to fear.


    "Hurry up," Di Chen shouted. He had ambushed and killed two demon pigs, but killing the remaining three would not be easy.


    Li Xue and the right side were still immersed in Di Chen''s power, but after hearing Di Chen''s call, they quickly rushed over. This Iron Core Grass was very hard, and was not easy to pick.


    Roar!


    At this moment, another demon pig roared. It was the demon pig that had been turned into a turtle. The moment it recovered, it bit towards the right.


    "Di Chen, save me!" Su Yun anxiously shouted. How could he withstand the attack of the demon pig?


    "Leave it to me," Di Chen shouted, and rushed to his right side, just as the demon pig was about to bite him, Di Chen smashed his fist on it, sending it flying, but at the same time, the other demon pig also crashed onto Di Chen, causing Di Chen to be flipped over, and rolled over ten times.


    At the same time, the other Spirit Demon pigs also rushed towards Di Chen. Di Chen knew that something was wrong, he had been severely injured, and if this continued, he would be killed.


    When he saw that Di Chen was injured, he started to dig even harder for the Iron Core Grass, and very quickly, he finally dug up enough herbs. He pulled Li Xue and ran, "Alright, let''s go."


    Li Xue also did not hesitate to leave. The two of them passed through Jie Wei''s body, as if they did not care about whether Di Chen was in danger or not.


    Jie Duo did not seem to be surprised at all as he calmly watched the two of them leave.


    Di Chen was startled, although he was responsible for attracting these demonic beast, he never thought that these two fellows would run away without saying a word, clearly waiting for Di Chen to die.

 C236

    In order to save the injured right side of his body, it would be somewhat difficult for Di Chen to deal with the remaining four Grand Development Heavy Subduing Pigs right now.


    However, just at this moment, the two who had been killed suddenly crawled back up and pounced towards the other two demon pigs.


    It was only when Di Chen turned back that he saw that it was Jie Yuan controlling them with his silk thread. With it dragging the two demon pigs, the remaining two didn''t pose much of a threat to Di Chen.


    "Explode," Di Chen took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it out. With a loud bang, a demon pig was blown into pieces, and with a punch, Di Chen sent a nearby demon pig flying. The demon pig was directly smashed away by Di Chen and died on the spot, while the other two demon pigs, who were also under the control of Jie Wei, started to bite each other until their skin and flesh were lacerated.


    "So dangerous," Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately Jie Yuan was here, otherwise, he would have been in danger just now.


    Di Chen looked curiously at Jie Wei and said: "You could have helped me kill these demon pigs from the beginning, why didn''t you do it?"


    Jie Long looked at Di Chen blankly, then pointed in the direction of the two people on the right.


    She could tell from the start that approaching from the right was not a good thing, so she did not make a move. She only allowed Di Chen to see the person in the right was.


    Di Chen did not expect that he would run so quickly, and laughed: "Actually, he did not even think of using me at the beginning, he only wanted to take advantage of the time I was here to gather more Spirit Grass, but when he saw that I was in danger, he would escape without hesitation. This kind of ungrateful person will not have any progress in his cultivation."


    This kind of despicable person would rarely make achievements in their cultivation. As a scholar, Di Chen could immediately see what kind of accomplishments one would have in the near future.


    "However, this guy stole my Iron Core Grass, so we can''t just let it go like this. Let''s go."


    Di Chen said as he chased in the direction of the right with Jie Long.


    After he finished harvesting the Iron Core Grass, he ran for a few kilometers. Seeing that there was no danger, he stopped and panted heavily.


    Li Xue was a little embarrassed as she said: "Senior Brother Su, Di Chen saved us just now, and he went to harvest the Iron Heart Grass because we advised him to. It wouldn''t be good to just leave them like this."


    "I didn''t use him intentionally, it''s just that you saw the situation just now, we can''t kill that Great Evolution Heavy Subduing Pig, it''s useless for us to stay, and you also saw that Di Chen can''t hold on much longer, why should we throw our lives away?"


    Li Xue thought for a while, "That''s true, let''s quickly find a place to refine these Iron Core Grass, and after that, we will have a better chance to leave mountain."


    The two of them immediately headed in a certain direction. Because at the start, the two of them still had the orange stalks of spirit liquid, so they did not meet any demonic beast. However, not long after they left, a Demonic King of the ninth rank appeared in front of the two of them.


    This demonic beast was a Four Tailed Demon Fox. This kind of Demon Fox was always extremely cunning, and would definitely not appear unless one had absolute confidence in it.


    "Not good ¡­" If he met another level nine Demonic King, he might still have a chance of surviving. But facing this cunning demonic beast, he really didn''t have much confidence in winning, so he immediately pulled Li Xue and ran.


    The Four Tailed Demon Fox chased after the two of them. It was extremely fast and with a leap, it directly threw Li Xue onto the ground, opening its mouth and ripping off a chunk of flesh.


    Li Xue screamed, "Close to the right, save me!"


    How could he bear having Li Xue be bitten like this? He immediately pounced towards the Four-tailed Demon Fox, and with a flick of its giant tail, the Four-tailed Demon Fox directly flipped the right side over, smashing onto the ground and unable to even stand up for a moment. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great.


    The Four Tailed Demon Fox stepped on Li Xue with one foot and looked at the right side as if it was mocking Li Xue.


    "Damn it!" Zuo Jin was on the verge of going berserk, but he couldn''t move at all. Suddenly, he saw two figures in the distance, looking at him as if they were just watching a show.


    "Di Chen," Su Zhizhan was slightly shocked. "You''re not dead?"


    Earlier, when Di Chen was being attacked by a few swamped pigs, he had thought that Di Chen was dead for sure, but who would have thought that Di Chen was actually still alive?


    He urgently said, "Di Chen, we were in the wrong just now. If you save us, I will give you all the Iron Core Grass."


    Di Chen sneered: "I''ve saved you once, do you think I''ll fall for it a second time?"


    At this moment, the Four Tailed Demon suddenly bit Li Xue''s neck. Blood gushed out of Li Xue''s neck as she looked to the right and near with a pained expression.


    How could he save her? He almost wanted to cry as he pleaded at Di Chen: "Di Chen, save her! I''ll do whatever you want me to do."


    Di Chen was still unmoved as he calmly looked to the right.


    In fact, Di Chen did not want to save them from the start, but Di Chen was a kind-hearted person, and these guys wanted to repay the kindness with enmity, plucking the Iron Heart Grass and running, telling Di Chen to stay and wait for death, how could Di Chen save them again?


    Li Xue''s neck bent, and was completely bitten to death. His heart turned cold, and he stared straight at Di Chen, he did not hate the Spirit Demon fox for killing Li Xue, but he hated Di Chen for not saving him.


    Di Chen looked at the right side coming closer with a taunting face. Right at this moment, the four tailed fox pounced towards the right again.


    After killing off the right side of the fox, it looked at Di Chen, but in the end didn''t attack him. In the end, it turned around and disappeared into the forest.


    Di Chen didn''t have any intentions of chasing after them. He searched the corpses that were nearby and took out the Iron Core Grass, Silver Coins, Medicinal Pills and other items. These things were all extremely useful to Di Chen.


    "Let''s find a place to absorb these Iron Core Grass first."


    Di Chen thought that he still had enough time to go to the Sky Realm Academy and refine the Iron Core Grass. With his Pearl of Life''s power, he could absorb all the Iron Core Grass in at most two days and break through the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm.


    "Hmm?" Not long after Di Chen walked away, he felt an aura following him from start to finish. He stopped in his tracks, and only stared at what was behind him.


    Jie Qian looked at Di Chen suspiciously, not understanding why he stopped.


    Di Chen frowned: "That demon fox is really cunning, she pretended to leave just now and followed us. It seems that she is planning to ambush us."


    Jie Long said softly, "Kill!"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "This Spirit Demon fox is very cunning, killing it is not easy, but if we do not kill it, it will bring us a lot of trouble."


    It was impossible for the Four Tailed Demon Fox to fight Di Chen head on, but it would definitely sneak attack Di Chen when he was cultivating or when he was in danger.


    Di Chen thought for a while, then took out a slip of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it on the ground.


    Just as Di Chen had thought, not long after Di Chen left, the demon fox walked out and followed Di Chen. However, when it passed by the slip of paper with the word "explode", a loud explosion resounded.


    However, this demon fox was clever because she had discovered the problem in time. Although she had been injured by the explosion, she did not die. She immediately escaped into the distance.


    "Freeze!" The moment Di Chen wrote it, that Yao Di stopped moving, as if he was imprisoned.


    Just then, Di Chen ran out from the forest and quickly landed beside the Four Tailed Demon Fox, smashing his fist onto the body of the Four Tailed Demon Fox. The Demon Fox let out a miserable cry and was killed on the spot.


    Di Chen thought that without the Demon Fox following him, it would be safer. Only then did he continue to leave with Jie Long. After searching for two hours, he finally found a remote cave.


    Di Chen looked at Jie Qian and said: "I want to cultivate here, please protect me."


    She picked up the stone and drew a strange pattern on the ground. In the middle of the pattern, there was the word "Ghost" written on it. After she finished drawing, she lit three sticks of incense in front of the pattern and then retreated to the side.


    Di Chen also didn''t know what Jie Qian was doing, and thought to himself that it must be a Curse Technique.


    He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and took out the Iron Core Grass. To ordinary warriors, this kind of Spirit Grass could only be absorbed after it was refined into a pill, but Di Chen did not. He channeled the power of the scholar in his body and the essence of the Iron Core Grass slowly entered Di Chen''s body.


    Di Chen immediately felt that his body was filled with a sense of power, the Iron Core Grass was known for its sharpness, the edge of its teeth could be compared to a sharp sword, giving Di Chen a sense of sharpness, he felt that his own strength was similar to a blade.


    After an hour, a stalk of Iron Core Grass was refined by the shovel.


    "I don''t need that long to absorb a level nine demonic beast."


    Di Chen took a deep breath, thinking that this Iron Core Grass was actually quite difficult to refine, but luckily his power had increased by a lot after refinement.


    After that, Di Chen refined the remaining few stalks of Iron Core Grass, and after refining the third stalk, he showed signs of breaking through his Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm. This time, Di Chen had picked a total of ten stalks, and if he refined all ten stalks, he would be able to break through his Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm.


    At the same time.


    Di Chen needed a period of time to cultivate, so Jie Long stayed outside the cave.


    Roar!


    Several hours later, the sound of the demonic beast''s roars could be heard. Jie Long immediately stood up and stared outside the cave.


    After a while, a Demonic Wolf walked out from the forest. This Demonic Wolf was around two zhang tall, a level nine Demonic King, and this was a coyote. Although it was not considered strong in the wolf tribe, it was fast and dangerous.


    Jie Qian subconsciously took a step back, staring coldly at the coyote.


    Just as the coyote was about to jump over the pattern, a ghost claw suddenly extended out of the pattern in front of it. It grabbed the coyote with one hand and kept it, then the coyote was grabbed by the subterranean and disappeared.


    After that, he continued staring into the distance, and very quickly, a few more coyote came out from the forest. These coyote had also seen this scene earlier, none of them dared to rashly charge over, but they would not leave either.


    coyote s were all living in groups, once they found their prey, they would tell their companions, and after a while, they gathered more and more, filling the entire outer parts of the cave up. With so many Demonic Wolf s here, even Jie Yuan was a little afraid.

 C237

    After waiting for a while, one of the Demonic Wolf could no longer resist and directly pounced towards Jie Long. However, when the Demonic Wolf passed through the pattern, one of its ghost claws extended out and directly grabbed subterranean.


    The other Demonic Wolf did not show any signs of weakness and started to spit out wind blades. When the wind blades passed the pattern, there was no power to stop them.


    Jie Long immediately conjured a Yellow Paper Umbrella, which was the Primordius Umbrella. The Wind Blades all shot onto the Primordius, releasing a pu pu sound, and as the Primordius Umbrella was also a high-grade Earth Equipment, the wind blades of the coyote could not break the Primordius Umbrella at the moment, but Jie Long was not able to dodge it, if not, the wind blades would be a threat to Di Chen. Jie Long could only forcefully block it, but Jie Long would not be able to hold it for long.


    Jie Long took out another small yellow bottle and threw it into the group of coyote s. The small bottle broke and a fingernail-sized yellow spider crawled out. This was a Polar Spider, this type of spider poison was very strong, even a level 9 Demonic King could not withstand it.


    Once the venom entered their bodies, the Demonic Wolf immediately went limp and collapsed onto the ground. Their bodies twitched and they did not move at all, the coyote among them did not dare to stay any longer, and quickly rushed towards the center of the forest.


    Seeing this, Jie Wei let out a sigh of relief. She did not take back the polar spiders, but had them continue to guard the cave entrance in case the demonic beast attacked.


    As expected, the coyote rushed back after an hour. However, they did not attack this time.


    Jie Long immediately controlled the polar spiders to attack the coyote.


    However, at this moment, the sounds of birds chirping came one after another, as demonic birds the size of a soccer ball flew out from the forest. However, at this time, the sounds of birds chirping suddenly came one after another, as demonic birds the size of a soccer ball flew out from the forest.


    The Scarlet Cloud Sparrow flew towards the polar spiders, which were being eaten at a speed visible to the naked eye. If all the polar spiders were eaten, there would be nothing left to stop them.


    Jie Duo''s face changed, he took out another bottle and threw it on the ground. Two big snakes sprang out from the bottle, white scales of a big snake, this was a rare white snake, it had already been refined into a Gu by Jie.


    The two white snakes charged towards the Scarlet Cloud Sparrow and bit it. Snakes were the nemesis of bird demonic beast, so how could those Scarlet Cloud Sparrows dare to continue devouring the spider? They immediately scattered.


    Ying!


    A few more cries of eagles sounded out from the depths of the void. A few large black eagles descended from the sky and started biting towards the two white snakes. These kind of demonic eagles were the nemesis of these demonic snakes.


    The demonic beast seemed to have agreed on a way to attack Jie Long at the same time. Jie Long had already taken out all of his Insect Gu, but facing so many demonic beast s, he could barely hold on for a little longer.


    Time passed minute by minute, those bugs were slowly devoured, her puppet was also destroyed by the Demonic Wolf, she started to rush towards the cave.


    Jie Long was a Witch, she was not good at facing enemies head on. The demonic beast s slowly approached the cave and pounced on them, even the formation in front of her could not stop the demonic beast.


    Weng! *


    Right at this moment, a powerful force dispersed out, and Di Chen suddenly appeared in front of Jie Wei. He looked very thin and weak, but he gave off a kind of terrifying feeling.


    Di Chen punched out with his fist, and all the Qi swords shot out from his fist. It was like a technique, but in reality, it was not a technique, but rather after Di Chen refined the Iron Core Grass, his power had become sharp blades, every strike was like a sword.


    The Qi swords whistled past, passing through the bodies of the demonic beast s, the Qi swords were extremely sharp, but the demonic beast s were too weak to withstand a single blow, they were pierced through easily, over 10 demonic beast s died on the spot.


    "So strong?" Di Chen never thought that his easy attack would have such a strong power. He also punched a few more times, and with each punch, he could easily kill dozens of demonic beast. The demonic beast s that were initially filling the cave only had a few left.


    Di Chen thought that although he did not know any techniques, his power was very special and was stronger than many techniques. He was afraid that just the power of a Warrior could not be compared to other Martial Kings.


    "Are you alright?" Di Chen finally looked at Jie Long. Just now, she had used up a lot of energy just to fend off those demonic beast by herself.


    Jie Long shook his head to show that he was fine. She still didn''t speak like before.


    Di Chen took out the pill and smiled: "First refine this scripture and we''ll talk about it after you recover."


    Jie Long nodded and took the pill to the side.


    Di Chen then took out the beast collar he had snatched from the right region and released the Spirit Seeking Mouse. The use of this Demon Mouse being able to search for spirit objects was extremely great, it was only that it was kept close by and would not listen to Di Chen''s words. Di Chen then fed it with his fresh blood.


    Only then did Di Chen bring her to continue their journey. Along the way, the two of them did not meet any demonic beast, and after a few days, the two of them finally came down from mountain.


    Di Chen stretched. Once he walked out of the mountain, there would be no more danger.


    Half a month later.


    "You''re finally back," Di Chen calmly looked at Millennium City''s door. He was previously a student of Sky Realm Academy, but because he was forced out of the academy because he had protected the imperial court from the invasion, although Principal Mu Zhongli and Vice Principal Liang Xinghe both viewed Di Chen more highly, the problem was that Di Chen and Qin Suer were too close, so Sky Realm Academy had no choice but to allow Di Chen to leave.


    Di Chen looked at the city gate for a while, then said to Jie Qian while holding Jie Wei''s hand, "Let''s go in."


    A day later, Di Chen arrived at the entrance of the Sky Realm Academy. He looked at the Sky Realm Academy and sighed with emotion. He was previously a member of the Sky Realm Academy, but now he was helping the Famous Sword Academy to deal with the Sky Realm Academy.


    However, after entering the Sky Realm Academy, he could see Shang Yu, Di Chen had not seen her for a while, and missed her a lot, but entering the Sky Realm Academy was troublesome, he was not a member of the Sky Realm Academy, and he did not come with the Famous Sword Academy, so the door would not allow Di Chen to enter.


    "Di Chen..." At this moment, a woman''s voice was heard.


    Di Chen turned around and saw a woman dressed in white, and said in shock, "Bing Tong."


    Bing Tong and Di Chen had entered the Sky Realm Academy together, and the two of them had previously experienced it together. In the end, they had met with danger, and Di Chen had saved Bing Tong''s life.


    Bing Tong walked over and asked in shock: "Di Chen, why are you here?"


    Di Chen said: "I know that today is the day of the competition between the three great academies, so I specifically came here to watch."


    Bing Tong sighed: "It''s a pity that you are no longer a student of Sky Realm Academy, you don''t have the qualifications to participate either."


    Di Chen knew that Bing Tong had misunderstood and laughed bitterly: "Actually, after I left the Sky Realm Academy, I entered the Famous Sword Academy. The Vice Principal of the Famous Sword Academy allowed me to participate in the competition between the three great academies, but because I was cultivating outside earlier, I wasn''t able to return in time."


    Hearing this, Bing Tong was slightly startled, but then he smiled bitterly. Of course Di Chen was the genius of Sky Realm Academy, but to actually do the opposite of that now?


    The Sky Realm Academy had no choice but to expel Di Chen from the academy, but the Flame Emperor did not prohibit Di Chen from entering the Famous Sword Academy.


    "Could it be ¡­" Bing Tong suddenly thought of something, and said: "I saw that Liu Jingjing was also inside the Famous Sword Academy, she left with you earlier, I should have thought of it, even if she entered the Famous Sword Academy, you entered the Famous Sword Academy as well."


    Di Chen knew that Liu Jingjing would definitely represent the Famous Sword Academy to participate in the Three Great Academies'' competition. It was just that although Liu Jingjing and the electric martial soul were powerful, they had only been in the Martial King Realm for a short period of time.


    Bing Tong thought for a while, then said: "Then, I''ll bring you in."


    "Alright, that''s right, bring me to medicinal garden first," Di Chen suddenly thought of Yang Mengqi. Previously, when Di Chen was in Sky Realm Academy, he was temporarily taken care of by her, and Di Chen had almost implicated her.


    Bing Tong nodded and brought Di Chen to the medicinal garden. Because today was the day of the competition between the three great academies, they did not see many people on the road.


    medicinal garden was still the same medicinal garden he had met before, and the moment Di Chen entered the medicinal garden, he saw a woman in the courtyard fiddling with some flowers and grass. It was Yang Mengqi.


    "Teacher Yang ¡­" Di Chen shouted.


    Yang Mengqi''s movements paused. After seeing Di Chen in a daze for a long time, he revealed a smile. "Di Chen, I didn''t expect you to come back."


    The Martial Region Continent was very vast, Yang Mengqi originally thought that she would never see Di Chen again after she left, she really didn''t expect to see him again one day.


    She walked over, looked at Di Chen from head to toe, and laughed: "Seems like your cultivation has improved a lot again."


    "That''s right," Di Chen chuckled. "My realm of cultivation is in the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, and the realm of scholars is in the seventh stage."


    Hearing this, Bing Tong cried out in shock. His cultivation realm was only Martial King six stages, he did not expect Di Chen to be stronger than her by two realms.


    "Oh, right." Yang Mengqi asked curiously: "What are you doing here?"


    Di Chen said: "I entered the Famous Sword Academy. Actually, I came this time in place of the Famous Sword Academy to participate in the competition of the three great academies. It was just that I met with some danger before and was almost killed outside, that''s why I came a little late."


    Yang Mengqi did not ask for specific details, but just from Di Chen''s description she knew that Di Chen had definitely met with a dangerous situation.


    "This is?" Yang Mengqi curiously looked at Jie Wei again. Jie Wei was wearing a large white shirt, this outfit made it clear that he was from a clan of Eastern Desolation, and he didn''t look like he was an ordinary person.


    Di Chen did not conceal his identity and introduced his: "She is called Jie Qian, he is a witch. Previously, when I met with some danger, he had always been following me."


    "Witch?" Yang Mengqi was secretly surprised, thinking that to be able to make a witch follow him willingly, it seemed that Di Chen''s ability was getting stronger and stronger.


    Originally, Yang Mengqi had a lot of things she wanted to ask Di Chen, but the competition between the three great academies had already begun. She also didn''t want to waste Di Chen''s time, so she let Bing Tong bring him there earlier.

 C238

    In the middle was Principal Mu Zhongli. On his left was the Vice Principal of the Famous Sword Academy, Zhao Fusheng, and on her right was the Vice Principal of the Clear Water Academy, Ping Song. And behind them were the three important teachers of the three academies.


    On the far left was the great general Ai Lun of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty. The competition between the three great academies was held every five years and it was held with tremendous momentum. The Flame Emperor had personally come to watch it in the past, but because of the Flame Emperor''s special future, she had been watched by General Ai Lun today.


    One of them would be chosen as the seed, thus it was possible for him to temporarily stay away from the stage. The other four would be divided into two groups, and each group would have their own students fight off the loser. The loser would be eliminated, and the loser would be allowed to continue to stay and fight.


    The competition at Lifestealer Realm had already ended, and the Sky Realm Academy had won the battle in the end. However, Lifestealer Realm was considered the base realm of the warriors, so no one would care if he won, as the true competition was Martial King Realm.


    "Xiyue." Mu Zhongli stood up and looked at a graceful woman. "You go first."


    "Yes." Xiyue walked out from the crowd. She wore a white robe, and her long hair draped over her shoulders.


    Just then, Ping Song also stood up, and shouted to a man: "Gu Yun, you go."


    A man dressed in white walked up onto the stage from within the Clear Water Academy. The two of them bowed and saluted with their hands folded in front.


    "Half-Moon Chop." Xiyue leapt up, and a crescent shaped blade shot out from her Spirit Sword.


    Ruo Yun was not to be outdone. He welcomed the sword blade with his fist, and the wind from his fist transformed into a white tiger: "White Tiger Roar."


    With a rumbling sound, the two clashed and a ripple spread out. The white tiger and the wind blade were defeated at the same time, but Ruo Yun was forced to retreat while Xiyue remained motionless.


    Xi Yue followed up on her victory and pointed her sword at Ruo Yun. Ruo Yun used the White Tiger Roar to fight it out and fought several times with it.


    Ping Song shook his head slightly. Although Ruo Yun had not used his elemental energy yet, he still lost if this continued, and immediately shouted: "We''ve lost this battle. Ruo Yun, you can withdraw."


    Ruo Yun was also a person who was self-aware, so he obediently withdrew.


    Mu Zhongli smiled and looked at Xiyue with satisfaction, telling her to leave as well.


    Following that, two more people went up the stage. This time, Clear Water Academy sent a woman called Qiu Qing, and Sky Realm Academy sent a man called Fan Yang. The two of them were similarly Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm experts.


    Qiu Qing and Fan Yang bowed to each other. After which, Qiu Qing took out a long spear and pointed it towards Fan Yang, her long hair fluttering in the wind.


    Fan Yang punched out with all his might, and the force of his punch turned into a three meter long fist shadow as it flew towards Qiu Qing.


    Qiu Qing''s spear slammed into Fan Yang''s fist shadow, and with a loud bang, the fist shadow instantly disintegrated. Fan Yang''s attack had no effect on it at all.


    "Impossible," Fan Yang revealed an expression of disbelief. In the next moment, Qiu Qing''s spear was pointed at Fan Yang''s shoulder, and with a forceful lift, Fan Yang was sent flying. He landed heavily on the ground and rolled over a dozen times before stopping.


    "What an overbearing woman." Mu Zhongli admired her a little as he laughed: "This match was a loss to our Sky Realm Academy."


    Hearing this, Qiu Qing stepped down from the stage.


    Mu Zhongli continued: "Sky Realm Academy''s duel and Clear Water Academy''s duel has ended. Next up is the competition between Sky Realm Academy and Clear Water Academy."


    The three great academies were competing in two matches, and now that they had won each one of the matches, it was all up to Famous Sword Academy''s performance.


    "Nan Lian, you come," said Mu Zhong as she looked at a petite young girl.


    The young lady wore a set of black clothes and stood at the center of the crowd. She walked up the stage and calmly looked at the people from Famous Sword Academy.


    Zhao Fusheng stood up, looked at An Yang and laughed: "An Yang, you may go."


    An Yang was a direct disciple of the Famous Sword Academy. A while ago, he had suddenly displayed Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm when the wizard tower came out, and now, she was the first one to go on stage.


    "Please advise me," An Yang bowed as he looked at Nan Lian.


    Nan Lian also bowed towards An Yang, then with a step forward, she took out two short swords and slashed at An Yang.


    An Yang immediately summoned his Spirit Sword to meet it head on, and as they clashed, a metallic sound of impact rang out. An Yang was knocked back a few steps, but Nan Lian didn''t move at all.


    "So powerful," An Yang didn''t dare to be careless, and he tapped on the center of his brows again as the Sword Martial Spirit flew out, striking towards Nan Lian.


    When Nan Lian saw that the martial soul was still calm, she put her hands together and directly made the two short swords into a sword. After it was synthesized, it became much stronger and she swung it towards An Yang''s martial soul.


    Puff!


    An Yang''s Sword Martial Spirit was immediately pushed back, the martial soul shook, and almost collapsed.


    "It''s that powerful?" An Yang''s face changed as he hurriedly retracted the martial soul.


    At this time, Zhao Fusheng stood up and sighed: "An Yang, you''ve lost, you can leave."


    If not, An Yang''s martial soul would have already been destroyed. She bowed to Nan Lian in gratitude, but he still calmly left the stage.


    Mu Zhongli laughed, as if he wasn''t surprised in the slightest, then looked towards another person and yelled: "Huang Zhan, next is you."


    Back then, he and Di Chen had entered the Sky Realm Academy together, and even had a feud with Di Chen. However, later on, he was defeated by Di Chen, and his older brother, Huang Ting, took revenge, but who would have thought that he would instead destroy the martial soul. Huang Ting was unconvinced, and in the end, stole the martial soul from Huang Zhan, but Huang Ting still defeated him.


    Huang Zhan walked up the stage. Back then, he was also a genius and exceptionally arrogant. Now that he had received another fortuitous encounter, however, he had long since lost his arrogance and appeared abnormally calm.


    Zhao Fusheng looked at Li You and called out, "You may go."


    Li You walked onto the stage and bowed to Huang Zhan. She knew that she would definitely not be able to defeat Huang Zhan with a normal cultivation technique.


    Huang Zhan did not show any weakness and used the same technique on the Sword Martial Spirit. He used the Sword Martial Spirit before he was robbed, and he started to cultivate again later on.


    The two Sword Martial Spirit intersected, and released waves after waves of powerful energy. It was just that Li You''s martial soul was clearly weaker than Huang Zhan''s martial soul, and in a moment, Li You''s martial soul was at a disadvantage. The martial soul was one person''s strongest technique, if the martial soul could not even win against its opponent, then Li Jun naturally did not need to fight anymore.


    "I''ve lost ¡­" Li You also saw the situation clearly, and quickly admitted defeat, placing the martial soul between his brows.


    In truth, Huang Zhan did not use his full strength just now. According to his previous temperament, he would have destroyed Li You''s martial soul long ago.


    The two battles between the Sky Realm Academy s ended with the Famous Sword Academy losing.


    Mu Zhongli smiled, looked at Zhao Fushui and said, "Admit it."


    Zhao Fusheng said calmly: "Sky Realm Academy has outstanding talent, my Famous Sword Academy admits that she is inferior."


    Although he said that he did not care, he was worried that it would upset him. The following match was between the famous sword and Clear Water Academy, and if he did not win two rounds, Famous Sword Academy would be in danger.


    Just then, Mu Zhongli stood up again, and said: "Next, the students of Famous Sword Academy and Clear Water Academy are invited onto the stage."


    Ping Song shouted: "Tian Hong, you go."


    A white-clothed man with long, flowing hair walked out. He gave off a very refined feeling, but there was an evil light in his eyes. He was most likely a dangerous character.


    Zhao Fusheng also shouted, "Mu Feng, you come."


    Mu Feng had also entered the wizard tower before, so he had some grudges with Di Chen. In the end, he was defeated by Di Chen, but as a direct disciple, his cultivation was naturally not weak either.


    "Please advise me," Mu Feng said as he bowed. After that, he brought out a Spirit Sword and waved the sword.


    The spirit energy formed into 12 sword qi, the Clear Wind 12 Sword Art was one of the Famous Sword Academy''s top 10 sword arts.


    Tian Hong was not afraid of the sword qi. Instead, she revealed a playful smile. He casually threw out a punch, and a terrifying wind blew past. The twelve sword qi were instantly dispersed.


    "What?" Mu Feng was shocked, the Twelve Sword Arts of Clear Water was his most powerful move, how could it be defeated so easily?


    Mu Feng immediately tapped on the center of his brows, wanting to use Sword Martial Spirit, but at the same time, Tian Hong stepped forward, instantly appearing in front of Mu Feng, with two of his fingers on Mu Feng''s chest, he directly sent him flying backwards, Mu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, he lost his ability to fight, and did not even have the chance to use his martial soul.


    Tian Hong smiled, as if she wasn''t surprised that she would win. She bowed to the three chairmen and casually stepped down from the stage.


    Ping Song laughed and said: "Xiao-shu, the next one is you."


    Zhao Fusheng originally wanted to let another direct disciple take the stage, but it was just that Famous Sword Academy had already lost three matches, losing would be too embarrassing. He immediately looked at a woman in the distance and said: "Come."


    When Liu Jingjing walked onto the stage, the seeded participant was originally Di Chen, but because Di Chen''s whereabouts were unknown, and his fate was unknown, Zhao Fusheng made Liu Jingjing a seeded participant. But now that Famous Sword Academy had lost two rounds, he could no longer lose face, so Zhao Fusheng made Liu Jingjing go up.


    Liu Jingjing had been a student of the Famous Sword Academy before, so many people recognized her. Upon seeing her, everyone was astonished.


    "Principal Zhao, why did she go to Famous Sword Academy?"


    Mu Zhongli didn''t pay attention to Liu Jingjing before this.


    Zhao Fusheng laughed out loud: "I met her at Millennium City earlier, and saw that her talent was not bad, so I let her join Famous Sword Academy. At that time, she was still at the Lifestealer Realm, I didn''t think that he would already be at the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm today."


    Liu Jingjing had left two years ago, and at that time, she was only at Lifestealer Realm. Logically speaking, even if she had broken through her Martial King Realm, she still wouldn''t be qualified to participate in the competition, yet she represented the Famous Sword Academy today, and she was already this strong?

 C239

    Mu Zhongli suddenly thought of the fact that Di Chen had left with Liu Jingjing, if Liu Jingjing was in Famous Sword Academy now, wouldn''t that mean that Di Chen was also there?


    "Principal Zhao," Mu Zhongli asked anxiously, "Did Di Chen enter the Famous Sword Academy as well?"


    Zhao Fusheng laughed bitterly: That''s right, but Di Chen killed a few of the Demonic cultivators in Youzhou, and received his revenge, my life and death is uncertain right now, I am afraid it is ¡­


    He did not continue, but he could tell that the possibility of Di Chen being alive was very small.


    Mu Zhongli let out a long sigh. Back then, he did not want to expel Di Chen from the Famous Sword Academy either, but he had no other choice. This was an order from the Flame Emperor, but the Flame Emperor probably did not expect the Famous Sword Academy to take Di Chen in.


    However, Di Chen was still killed. He was a genius, Mu Zhongli did not wish for Di Chen to die like this, it was such a pity, but things were unpredictable.


    At this time, Liu Jingjing calmly walked onto the stage, her face calm. Although she had stayed in Sky Realm Academy for a period of time, her relationship with the other students was not very good.


    Xiao Shu noticed that Liu Jingjing had exclaimed below the stage, even the Principal was discussing, she guessed that this person was very strong, and was unavoidably very interested.


    "It seems you''re very strong," Laughing Book said. "It''s a pity that I''m not weak either."


    Liu Jingjing calmly looked at the laughing book, and without saying a word, a bolt of lightning struck the center of her brows, heading straight for the laughing book.


    "So it''s a lightning martial soul. It''s not easy for you to cultivate this kind of martial soul. It''s a pity that you used it from the start. It seems like you don''t have confidence."


    Xiao Shu thought he could see through Liu Jingjing''s intentions with a glance, after he finished speaking, he punched out, his spirit energy transforming into two Demonic Wolf s that pounced towards the lightning.


    This was the Heavenly Wolf Fist. It could be considered a high-grade Earth rank cultivation technique with unparalleled power.


    When the lightning struck the Demonic Wolf, the two Demonic Wolf were instantly destroyed, making them unable to withstand a single blow from Liu Jingjing''s martial soul. Then, the lightning once again struck towards him.


    "Impossible!" Laughing Book was shocked, he really didn''t expect his opponent''s attack to be so powerful. He immediately retreated a few steps and was one step too late, and the lightning directly struck his body.


    Laughing miserably, his body was torn open by the lightning. He lay on the ground, unable to move.


    Liu Jingjing looked at the joke book for a while, then casually walked off the stage.


    "Is it really that powerful?" Everyone below the stage exclaimed, it was the first time they saw someone defeat someone in one move, it seemed that this woman was not simple, at this moment, everyone was curious about Liu Jingjing.


    Zhao Fusheng finally revealed a smile. If Liu Jingjing did not win, then Famous Sword Academy would be completely wiped out.


    "Has Jingjing already cultivated to this extent?" Back then, Liu Jingjing was a member of the Sky Realm Academy, but now, she had helped the Famous Sword Academy to deal with him ¡­


    The two battles had ended, and in the end, only Liu Jingjing won the battle in the Famous Sword Academy. In the Clear Water Academy, both Qiu Qing and Tian Hong had won one match, and Huang Zhan, Nan Lian and Xi Yue had won three matches in the Sky Realm Academy, the first round of the competition had ended, and then came the second round. This round was different from the previous round, in the first round, Sky Realm Academy and Clear Water Academy would each choose a disciple to compete in, and the winner would remain in the stage.


    In this kind of competition, the more people who win in the first match, the better. Therefore, it was very disadvantageous for Famous Sword Academy.


    "Nan Lian," Mu Zhongli called out, "You''re the first one up."


    Nan Lian walked onto the stage, while the one sent by Clear Water Academy was Qiu Qing. The two of them bowed to each other.


    Qiu Qing held a long spear in her hands. She leapt up and thrust the tip of the spear towards Nanlian, sending out a sharp sword Qi.


    Nan Lian did not dare to be careless either. The two short swords went against the sword Qi, and with a shout, it dispersed the sword Qi.


    The two of them rushed towards each other. Their daggers and spears clashed, causing intense sparks to fly. It seemed like the two of them were not far apart in terms of strength.


    Nan Lian tapped the center of her brows and a short sword flew out, shooting towards Qiu Qing. This was her Sword Martial Spirit.


    Qiu Qing poked between her brows at the same time and a crystal shield flew out. The Sword Martial Spirit struck the crystal shield and bounced back.


    "Not good," Nanlian thought. Qiu Qing''s martial soul had obviously restrained her. How could there be such a coincidence?


    At the same time, her long spear continued to point towards Nanlian. This time, after the crystal shield blocked Nanlian''s main attack, it was obvious that Nanlian was no longer harmful to her, and Qiu Qing could once again press on, forcing Nanlian to retreat step by step. Soon, Nanlian could no longer hold on.


    Bang!


    Finally, Nanlian was unable to block one of Qiu Qing''s attacks and was sent flying. She fell to the ground, no longer able to fight.


    Mu Zhongli stood up, as if he did not care about Nan Lian''s win or loss. He smiled and said: "Clear Water Academy has won this round, next, let us invite the students of Famous Sword Academy up on stage."


    Zhao Fusheng looked at Liu Jingjing and said: "Go."


    Liu Jingjing walked onto the stage and looked at Qiu Qing calmly.


    Previously, Qiu Qing had seen Liu Jingjing defeating Laughing Book in one move. She was very familiar with Laughing Book and knew that Laughing Book was not weak.


    Qiu Qing did not dare to be careless. She immediately placed the Crystal Shield in front of her, and at the same time pointed her spear at Liu Jingjing.


    The lightning struck Qiu Qing''s Crystal Shield. Although the Crystal Shield had a strong defense, the problem was that it was a martial soul and martial soul would easily dissipate, so after a few rounds of lightning, the Crystal Shield''s light became a little dimmer.


    "What a powerful lightning martial soul," Qiu Qing was secretly surprised but was not afraid. She leaped up and thrust her spear out. A stream of sword Qi shot over.


    Liu Jingjing immediately shot a bolt of lightning towards the Sword Qi, the two clashed, causing the Sword Qi to crumble, while Liu Jingjing''s lightning was only weakened, and continued to strike at Qiu Qing.


    Qiu Qing blocked it with the Crystal Spirit Shield, so the power of this bolt of lightning was obviously much weaker. It did not harm Qiu Qing at all.


    Just then, Qiu Qing took the chance to rush to Liu Jingjing and thrust her spear towards him.


    "Your Lightning martial soul is powerful, but it seems like you only have this one move. Once you get close to me, you won''t be able to do anything to me."


    Qiu Qing saw that Liu Jingjing had always been using the Lightning martial soul and never used any other moves, so she subconsciously believed that Liu Jingjing only relied on the Lightning martial soul''s one move. Actually, she was not very strong, but now that she is in close proximity to you, there is nothing to be afraid of.


    Liu Jingjing squinted her eyes as she stared at Qiu Qing. She knew that she could not dodge this attack, so she did not try to avoid it.


    Just as Qiu Qing''s spear was about to pierce him, she dodged to the side, barely avoiding the attack. She then grabbed Qiu Qing''s long spear once again, dodging the lightning in her hands as the lightning struck her body.


    Qiu Qing cried out miserably. She was sent flying. She looked battered and exhausted. There was a look of disbelief on her face. "This guy is good at close combat as well?"


    In fact, Liu Jingjing knew a lot of techniques, but those techniques were too lacking compared to her Lightning martial soul, so Liu Jingjing had no intention to use them.


    Just then, Ping Song stood up and shouted: "Qiu Qing, you''ve lost, get down."


    Qiu Qing bowed with her hands folded in front, she knew that she was not Liu Jingjing''s match and immediately walked off the stage.


    When Clear Water Academy lost, it was Sky Realm Academy''s turn again.


    Mu Zhongli said again: "Huang Zhan, go on stage."


    He had even gone to the Thousand Monster Mountain with Liu Jingjing to train before, so it could be considered that he was familiar with the place, and his big brother Huang Ting even liked Liu Jingjing a lot.


    "Senior Sister Liu," Huang Zhan bowed to Liu Jingjing, showing some respect for her, then smiled: "Long time no see."


    Liu Jingjing chuckled: "So it''s Junior Brother Huang Zhan. I didn''t expect you to improve so quickly."


    Even though Huang Zhan was a genius back then, he had definitely not reached the stage where he could replace the academy in the tournament. Furthermore, he had once had his martial soul snatched away by Huang Ting.


    "I was just lucky," Huang Zhan said as he smiled. "Oh right, where''s Di Chen? I remember that you left with him."


    How could Huang Zhan not know what that meant? Sighing slightly, he got Di Chen to kill Huang Ting for him all those years ago, but he could also be considered grateful to Di Chen.


    "Let''s not talk about this anymore," Liu Jingjing laughed, "Let me see how much you have improved in these past few years."


    Huang Zhan clasped his hands together: "Please be lenient Senior Sister Liu."


    He said this because he knew that he was no match for Liu Jingjing. He only wanted to ask for a few pointers from Liu Jingjing.


    With a leap, boundless elemental energy gushed into the palm of his hand, transforming into a few Tai Yao snakes that bit towards Liu Jingjing.


    When everyone saw this cultivation technique, they realized that Huang Zhan did not use his full strength in the battle. He had shown mercy, but when facing Liu Jingjing, he had not shown any mercy, so they knew that Liu Jingjing was powerful.


    Liu Jingjing laughed, and took a step forward. This time, she did not use the Lightning martial soul from the start, but used a palm strike towards the Spirit Demon Snake instead.


    Puff!


    The strong force of his palm struck the demon serpent''s body, causing the demon serpent to immediately crumble, and it was unable to withstand a single blow from Liu Jingjing.


    Huang Zhan had long thought of this outcome, so he was not discouraged. Once again, he charged towards Liu Jingjing, using all his strength to attack him.


    was using the techniques she had previously cultivated, and it was obvious that Liu Jingjing did not use her full strength, but she still managed to beat Huang Zhan into retreat, and her spirit energy was quickly depleted.


    "Looks like I can only use the martial soul for a gamble," Huang Zhan immediately tapped the center of his brows, and the Sword Martial Spirit shot towards Liu Jingjing.


    His Sword Martial Spirit was very strong, so Liu Jingjing could not be careless. At the same time, she also released the Lightning martial soul to welcome the attacks, causing bolts of lightning to strike on her body, repelling him every time the Sword Martial Spirit shot at him. At the beginning, Huang Zhan could endure it, but very quickly, she was unable to withstand Liu Jingjing''s attacks.


    A few minutes later, Huang Zhan finally stopped and laughed bitterly: "I admit defeat."


    Liu Jingjing laughed: "You have already improved a lot, I believe that your cultivation will definitely become stronger in the future."


    Huang Zhan walked down the stage obediently. If he lost in the past, he would definitely not be convinced.


    Seeing Liu Jingjing easily win one match, Zhao Fusheng couldn''t help but laugh; his face had finally been slightly saved.

 C240

    After Liu Jingjing defeated two people in a row, it would be Clear Water Academy''s turn again.


    "Tian Hong, you go," Ping Song looked at Tian Hong and shouted.


    Tian Hong walked onto the stage calmly and looked at Liu Jingjing with a serious expression. Although Liu Jingjing who had gone through two battles had consumed a lot of her energy, Tian Hong did not have the confidence to defeat him.


    Liu Jingjing did not show mercy. She tapped on the center of her brows and streaks of lightning shot towards Tian Hong.


    Tian Hong struck out with his palm, one after another, pressing down towards Liu Jingjing. Initially, the lightning did not destroy Tian Hong''s palm, but after a few rounds of lightning, Tian Hong''s palm started to dissipate.


    "Looks like it''s really difficult to defeat you with a normal cultivation technique." Tian Hong said in surprise. He immediately tapped her forehead and flames began to surge out. This red flame was clearly a type of demonic flame.


    The flames blotted out the sky and covered the earth. The entire sky was filled with flames, pouring down like a tidal wave.


    Liu Jingjing cursed in her heart as she used all her strength to cast the lightning martial soul s. Bolts after bolts of lightning shot out, but the range of the flames was simply too wide, as if the lightning was mud entering the sea, and actually had no effect on the sea of flames.


    "It''s useless. Fire and lightning are both natural attribute martial soul s. Your lightning doesn''t have much effect on my flames."


    Tian Hong controlled the sea of flames to pour down, as it flooded Liu Jingjing like a tidal wave. The flames spread out on the ground like a tide, and the air became scorching hot.


    "This ¡­" Seeing this, the people below the stage were all startled. What kind of person with Martial King Realm could block this attack?


    Zhao Fusheng suddenly stood up, and looked at the flames with a solemn face. He did not feel Liu Jingjing''s Qi, but he knew that things were not looking well, because Liu Jingjing was an important student of the Famous Sword Academy, so it would be a pity if she died.


    Ping Song also frowned, although Tian Hong could not defeat Liu Jingjing if she did not use her full strength, killing her was going too far.


    Everyone stared at the flames on stage, but just at that moment, the flames suddenly disappeared with a scream, a powerful force dispersed and a person came out from the flames, it was Liu Jingjing.


    Liu Jingjing looked to be in a sorry state, her body was covered in burns, but she still managed to survive.


    Seeing that she was still alive, Zhao Fusheng finally let out a sigh of relief.


    "He''s actually fine?" Tian Hong was surprised, she had already used all of the Flaming martial soul at once and did her best to defend. How could he have any excess strength left to defend against Liu Jingjing?


    Just then, Liu Jingjing took a step towards Tian Hong, and instantly appeared in front of Tian Hong, her two fingers pressing on Tian Hong''s chest, directly sending him flying, but this time, Tian Hong was no longer able to fight.


    "She won again, isn''t this Liu Jingjing too strong?"


    "That''s right, there probably aren''t many opponents for her in Martial King Realm. I think the other seeded participants in the other academies can only do that."


    "Although she''s very powerful, she was heavily injured just now, and her Spiritual Energy was consumed a lot. I think that the next disciple in Sky Realm Academy will definitely be able to defeat her."


    The people below the stage were discussing amongst themselves, all of them were extremely envious of Liu Jingjing, and this was the first time they had seen such a person.


    Ping Song originally thought that Tian Hong would win, but he never thought that Liu Jingjing would win in the end.


    "We lost," Ping Song still maintained the same attitude, but since Tian Hong had also lost, there was only one seeded participant left in Clear Water Academy.


    Mu Zhongli looked at Liu Jingjing with satisfaction. Although Liu Jingjing was helping the Famous Sword Academy now, she was still a student of the Clear Water Academy, so she was very happy that Liu Jingjing had such a cultivation level.


    "Xiyue," Mu Zhongli called out. "Come."


    Back then, when she had broken through Martial King Realm, Liu Jingjing was still at the Lifestealer Realm, so she did not have much impression of him. However, when the people below the stage mentioned that Liu Jingjing was once a member of the Sky Realm Academy, she could not help but feel somewhat astonished.


    "Please ¡­" Xi Yue made a gesture of invitation for Liu Jingjing to make the first move.


    Liu Jingjing clasped her hands together and then tapped on the center of her brows again, sending bolts of lightning flying like silver snakes.


    Xiyue''s spirit energy poured into her palm and turned into a moon. Golden rays of light shot towards the lightning, and the two collided with each other. The golden rays and lightning dispersed at the same time. The two seemed to be at a stalemate.


    In reality, at this moment, Liu Jingjing''s soul force had been routed and she had just been injured, so it was impossible for Xiyue to block Liu Jingjing with just this one move.


    Xi Yue leaped up as she sent a palm strike towards Liu Jingjing with her boundless Origin Energy.


    Liu Jingjing hastily sent a fist out towards Xiyue with two punches. Liu Jingjing was immediately sent flying as she vomited a mouthful of blood.


    "The current you can''t beat me, so just give up."


    Xi Yue did not seem to have the intention to continue attacking as she wanted Liu Jingjing to admit defeat.


    Liu Jingjing laughed, "My spirit energy has not been exhausted. I still have the strength to fight."


    Xiyue shook her head, as if she was somewhat disappointed with Liu Jingjing''s words. With a leap, she sent another fist over.


    Liu Jingjing also did not show any sign of weakness, and similarly welcomed Xiyue with a blow, as the two of them shared similar strengths. Although Xiyue was able to force Liu Jingjing to retreat step by step, she was still unable to defeat Liu Jingjing even after a short while.


    "Looks like I won''t be able to defeat her like this," Xiyue was secretly surprised. She really didn''t expect that Liu Jingjing would have such strength after being injured.


    Xi Yue immediately pressed the center of her brows and clear water gushed out from between her eyebrows. That clear water transformed into a group of big wave s that hacked towards Liu Jingjing.


    The water martial soul was almost comparable to Tian Hong''s fire martial soul.


    Liu Jingjing''s lightning martial soul had no effect on the water martial soul. She wanted to retreat, but the waves of the big wave rose higher and higher, until it was fifty to sixty meters tall. In the end, it pressed down towards Liu Jingjing.


    Crash! *


    The big wave dispersed like a flood. Liu Jingjing laid on the ground, unable to move.


    Xiyue panted heavily as she looked at Liu Jingjing. Just now, she had used up too much of her martial soul, and she couldn''t hold on any longer.


    "Did she still lose?" Seeing that Liu Jingjing had no fighting strength, everyone could not help but exclaim, it was not easy for her to consecutively defeat three people, but she was still unable to contend against the fourth person.


    Mu Zhongli stood up and announced with a smile, "This is Xiyue ¡­"


    The words came to an abrupt halt!


    Liu Jingjing used her hands to prop herself up from the ground and suddenly rushed towards Xiyue. Xiyue never expected that Liu Jingjing would still have the strength to fight, and in the blink of an eye, was directly sent flying by Liu Jingjing.


    Xiyue heavily smashed into the ground, and her body was no longer able to move. Liu Jingjing had also exhausted her last bit of strength, and directly collapsed onto the ground.


    "A draw?" Everyone was astonished. They really did not expect that Liu Jingjing would have the strength to fight back at such a time.


    Mu Zhongli laughed bitterly, thinking to himself, this Liu Jingjing is really powerful, to actually be able to defeat four people in a row by herself?


    Someone brought Liu Jingjing and Xiyue down from the stage respectively. Although Liu Jingjing was severely injured, she was not seriously injured.


    "This time, Xiyue and Liu Jingjing will be eliminated at the same time."


    Mu Zhongli announced, but the following matches were troublesome, if according to the rules, Clear Water should send someone up on stage now, but the question was, which one would go up first, Sky Realm Academy or the other?


    All three academies only had one seeded contestant left, so it would be unfavorable for anyone to enter the arena first. Therefore, Mu Zhongli could not make up his mind.


    "President Ping Song, President Zhao Fusheng, what do you think we should do next?"


    Mu Zhongli looked at the two as he spoke.


    Ping Song thought for a while and said: "It''s also because we were inconsiderate. How about this, all three of us will compete at the same time, and engage in a free-for-all?"


    Zhao Fusheng raised his eyebrows: This method of fighting is a bit unfair, what if there are two of us working together to fight against one of them?


    The competition between the three great academies needed to compare the strength of each person. This way, a free-for-all could easily lead two people to face one person at the same time. It was simply impossible to display the strength of each person.


    Mu Zhongli laughed: "How can the competition be fair. They enjoy a 1v1 fight in the academy, but if you leave the academy, you also know that there are many demonic path in Martial Region Continent, do you think the demonic path will give you a fair fight? "Of course not, I can definitely test a person''s strength under these circumstances."


    In the competition with the disciples of the academy, there were very few people who would go out and fight with outsiders. This would cause some students to have very strong cultivation, but in reality, their fighting strength was not strong.


    A free-for-all might be unfair to a certain person, but in reality, this was the best time for a single person within their body to survive in the most chaotic and dangerous of situations.


    Hearing that, Zhao Fusheng nodded his head, but very quickly, he started to complain in his heart, this time he treated Liu Jingjing as a seeded participant, but just now, Liu Jingjing was already eliminated, and there were no more seeded participants in Famous Sword Academy.


    Back then, he was the strongest, but who would have thought that Di Chen would actually kill Jing Jing, that was fine with it, but the key point was that he was captive by Mo Wen, and it was unknown whether he lived or died, which brought about a lot of losses to Famous Sword Academy.


    Although Liu Jingjing had saved some face for Famous Sword Academy, in reality, the following matches would make Zhao Fusheng feel even more humiliated.


    "Since the two of you have agreed, then so be it."


    Mu Zhongli stood up and smiled at the crowd. "In the previous battles, the three great academies had already eliminated four academies. Now, each academy still lacks one contestant. Now, let''s invite these three students on stage to fight."


    Hearing this, the crowd in the audience burst into an uproar. It had to be known that the three academies had never engaged in a free-for-all before. This kind of battle was truly interesting, and everyone wanted to know who would be stronger.


    "Cao Yuer." Mu Zhongli''s gaze landed on a woman. "Come up."


    Hearing Cao Yuer''s name, the audience immediately erupted into an uproar, all of them revealing expressions of admiration and envy.


    Ping Song also looked at someone and shouted, "Xiu-Er, come up."


    An elegant looking lady walked onto the stage. She was rather petite and looked very cute, but she exuded a domineering aura.


    Seeing her, the Clear Water Academy also erupted into an exclamation. It was obvious that this woman was very popular in the Sky.

 C241

    The disciples of the two academies both went up on stage, but Zhao Fusheng still did not call out the last disciple of Famous Sword Academy. Everyone below the stage was staring at Zhao Fusheng in confusion, they did not know that the seeded participant from Famous Sword Academy had already gone up on stage, and there was no one stronger than him.


    Mu Zhongli and Ping Song also saw the situation, but the two of them did not say much, as the scene was extremely awkward.


    "Who is the seeded participant from Famous Sword Academy? Why isn''t she going up on stage?"


    "Yeah, could it be that there are no seeded participants in Famous Sword Academy?"


    The audience broke out into a flurry of discussion, all of them looked at the people of Famous Sword Academy with astonishment. Famous Sword Academy was also bitter, but in truth there were still a few people who were not on stage, but the problem was that they were not as strong as Liu Jingjing, and being on stage was just a disgrace.


    However, at this moment, a man suddenly pushed his way through the crowd and calmly walked onto the stage. Everyone''s gaze followed his movements.


    Seeing him appear, everyone in the Famous Sword Academy cried out in alarm. Who didn''t know of his existence among the Famous Sword Academy''s Martial King Realm?


    Liu Jingjing laughed. She was so happy that tears almost flowed out of her eyes as she mumbled to herself, "I knew you wouldn''t die."


    "Principal Zhao, I''m late." That person bowed towards Zhao Fusheng with a calm expression.


    Zhao Fusheng was also startled when he saw the newcomer, but he quickly revealed a smile, "It''s not too late."


    "Di Chen, is that actually him ¡­"


    "I remember he is a literati, his strength is very strong, I wonder to what extent he has cultivated to now."


    Many people in the Sky Realm Academy knew Di Chen, but no one was his match when he was at Lifestealer Realm. After he was expelled from the academy, who would have thought that he actually joined the Famous Sword Academy?


    Di Chen bowed towards Mu Zhongli, "Principal Mu."


    Mu Zhongli said with a smile, "So it''s Di Chen, I really didn''t expect that there would be a day you return to the Sky Realm Academy."


    Back then, when Di Chen had entered the Sky Realm Academy, Mu Zhongli had also thought highly of him, and Di Chen had a good impression of him. But who would have thought that Di Chen would be kicked out of the Sky Realm Academy because of Qin Suer?


    Di Chen bowed to Ping Song again, and Ping Song laughed. Previously, Ping Song had brought the students to visit the Famous Sword Academy, but in the end, Zuo Qing suffered a crushing defeat and even destroyed the martial soul. On that day, he already knew how strong Di Chen was.


    In fact, the thing that Di Chen was most concerned about was still Cao Yuer. Cao Yuer had always blamed Di Chen for her sister''s death, and had always wanted to take revenge on him. She had almost killed Di Chen when she was at the wizard tower level.


    "Begin," Mu Zhongli shouted.


    After his voice fell, Cao Yuer was the first to rush towards Mu Zhongli. The person she wanted to kill the most was Di Chen.


    Di Chen sighed, seeing that she still wanted to kill him, he did not dare be careless, and immediately threw a punch out towards Cao Yuer, causing both of them to simultaneously retreat. Bang!


    "Hmm?" Di Chen realized that Cao Yuer''s power had increased quite a bit, but in reality, Di Chen had shown mercy earlier and did not use his full strength.


    Cao Yuer realized that her attack did not manage to kill Di Chen, and with a flip of her hand, she took out a small bottle. She opened the bottle lid and a ray of light rushed out.


    The White Jade Spider opened its mouth and spat out a net that covered Di Chen. This White Jade Spider''s net was very sticky, it had no chance of breaking free once it was trapped.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it out. The power of the scholar surged inside, and with a bang, the net was shattered into pieces. Then, Di Chen took out a piece of paper with the word "spear" written on it and threw his spear at the white jade spider, turning it into a sieve.


    "So powerful," Cao Yuer was slightly stunned, she did not expect Di Chen to kill her White Jade Spider so easily.


    She seemed to be unconvinced as she took out a white jade Spirit Sword and slashed at Di Chen.


    Di Chen retreated quickly and welcomed it with his Spear Arts. The spectators could tell that Di Chen was doing it on purpose, but Cao Yuer was trying to kill him.


    She stared at Cao Yuer and Di Chen in a daze. These two fellows had not put her in their hearts at all.


    How could she not know the reason? It was obvious that Cao Yuer had a feud with Di Chen, so she tried her best to kill him, but Di Chen did not seem to want to make things difficult for her. Therefore, she had always been lenient towards him.


    Mu Zhongli and Zhao Fusheng also frowned, they really did not expect this to happen.


    After fighting with Di Chen for a while, it was obvious that Cao Yuer was not her match.


    The Xiu-Er hesitated, she looked at Ping Song, who nodded slightly, because he knew that Cao Yuer or Xiu-Er alone would not be her match, so the two of them had to work together to defeat Di Chen.


    "Thousand Sail Palm," After getting Ping Song''s consent, Xiu-Er immediately pounced towards him. With one hand, he slapped the ground, and over ten palm prints struck towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen cried inwardly. It was still difficult for him to handle two people by himself, he immediately took out a few pieces of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it out, then shouted loudly: "Explode."


    Explosions sounded out, and all the palm prints shattered into pieces. However, Xiu-Er took the chance to rush to Di Chen''s front as her spirit energy once again turned into a fierce tiger that bit at Di Chen.


    Di Chen anxiously punched at the tiger, causing it to crumble. But because it was too sudden, Di Chen had to retreat.


    Just then, Cao Yuer ran over again and used her Spirit Sword to slash.


    Di Chen moved to the side, but he did not dodge the attack. Cao Yuer''s sword pierced Di Chen''s shoulder, and with a raise of the sword tip, he directly sent the shovel flying, causing Di Chen to fall hard on the ground, blood flowing from his chest.


    Xiu-Er took the opportunity to charge towards Di Chen and threw two punches in a row, causing two white tigers to pounce towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and stuck it out. With a loud bang, the two white tigers turned into a stream of Qi and disappeared, but because Di Chen was too close by and was affected by the shockwave, he was also blown away.


    "This ¡­" When the audience saw this scene, they were helpless, they never thought that the two of them would join hands and deal with Di Chen.


    These two were seeded contestants, he probably wouldn''t be able to defend against Di Chen alone.


    At this moment, everyone gave Di Chen the death penalty. Even Zhao Fusheng was feeling helpless, he really did not expect this kind of situation.


    Mu Zhongli, on the other hand, was a bit embarrassed. He originally thought that this kind of battle would be more interesting, but who knew that this sort of thing would happen?


    "Surrender," Xiu-Er did not pursue him while he was winning, and she did not want to hurt Di Chen either.


    Di Chen laughed: "The two of you working together are indeed powerful, but the two of you still can''t beat me."


    Today, even the hermits from the top ten ancient sects may not be able to defeat Di Chen, so what about the two of them?


    "If that''s the case, then don''t blame me for being impolite," Xiu-Er did not expect that Di Chen would not admit defeat.


    Di Chen was not planning to show mercy this time, with the same punch, a ray of sword qi shot out from his fist, causing all the white tigers to dissipate, at the same time some of the sword qi shot towards Xiu-Er, causing him to be unable to dodge for a while, and was directly struck by a few sets of sword qi.


    Xiu-Er said in shock: "I heard that you are a literati, how do you know a cultivation technique?"


    Di Chen did not explain. He did not know any martial skills, but this had changed after he had refined the Iron Core Grass.


    "Go and die," Cao Yuer said as she rushed back with the spirit weapon.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word turtle written on it and threw it out. It was already very easy for Di Chen to use turtle formula, but Cao Yuer had already started to twist her body when she arrived in front of Di Chen and turned into a turtle all of a sudden.


    "This ¡­" Everyone in the audience cried out in alarm when they saw this scene. There was actually such a miraculous cultivation technique?


    The few chairmen all looked at each other, thinking that the literati was really scary.


    After Di Chen turned Cao Yuer into a tortoise, he immediately charged towards Xiu-Er. He knew very well that he only had ten seconds, so he had to defeat Xiu-Er within those ten seconds.


    Xiu-Er glanced at Cao Yuer who had turned into a turtle, and immediately picked up a handful of Spirit Sword to welcome Di Chen.


    Di Chen threw out a punch, and with every punch he sent out, he released Sword Qi. The Sword Qi was like double, Xiu-Er could only barely hold on, she tried to use a cultivation technique, but no matter what kind of technique it was, it would all be destroyed by Di Chen in the end.


    Xiu-Er immediately pressed the center of her brows and a poisonous wasp flew out. This poisonous wasp was at least ten feet tall, and if it bit into it, it would immediately poison and die.


    Di Chen anxiously took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it. He channeled the power of the scholar inside, and with a boom, the poisonous wasp was blown away and almost dissipated.


    "How can this move be so powerful?" How could Xiu-Er dare to use martial soul s to attack Di Chen?


    Di Chen took another step towards Xiu-Er, striking out with his fist. Xiu-Er was unable to resist at all, and was forced to retreat step by step, until he was finally sent flying by Di Chen''s punch, smashing out of the stage.


    It had not even been eight seconds since Xiu-Er lost. In fact, if Di Chen wanted to kill him, it would only take three seconds at most, but defeating one person was different from killing another, he needed to maintain his strength.


    It was also at this time that Cao Yuer turned back into her human form. Although she had been turned into a turtle, she still knew what had happened, and wanted to rush over to kill Di Chen.


    "Yu''er," it was at this moment that Mu Zhongli stood up and said, "You''ve lost."


    He didn''t know that at this rate, Di Chen did not want to kill her.


    Cao Yuer roared: I haven''t lost, my spirit energy has not been exhausted, I can still fight.


    Mu Zhongli berated: "You are not Di Chen''s match, withdraw."


    Cao Yuer clenched her teeth. In the end, she could not go against Mu Zhongli''s orders. She looked at Di Chen hatefully, then rushed down the stage.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly and shook his head, thinking that he still wouldn''t give up on killing him.


    Cao Yuer''s strength would always increase, and it would still bring him quite a bit of trouble, but Di Chen couldn''t kill her.

 C242

    The competition between the three great academies had finally ended, and in the end, Di Chen had won. No one was unconvinced, and it could be seen that Di Chen was obviously much stronger than everyone else, but it was just that the combined forces of the three great academies were still not Di Chen''s match.


    These warriors were not from the Three Great Academies, and did not reveal their strength, but in reality, they were stronger than some Innate Ranker from the Three Great Academies.


    "Di Chen, you can also go down," Mu Zhongli smiled at Di Chen. Although Di Chen was replacing the Famous Sword Academy, Mu Zhongli was not angry, and was instead happy to see Di Chen''s cultivation increase.


    Di Chen bowed to Mu Zhongli and the others, then left the stage, and the battle of Martial Monarch Level was next, but this had nothing to do with Di Chen, so Di Chen was not in the mood to stay and watch.


    "Jingjing," Di Chen smiled as he walked over.


    Ever since Di Chen was taken away by the Mo Family, Liu Jingjing had always been worried about Di Chen, and now that he saw that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief, but she was a relatively calm woman, he would not purposely let out his feelings, and laughed at Di Chen: "I knew that you would be fine."


    Li Yu also came over to greet him: "Mo Family didn''t make things difficult for you?"


    Mo Family was a famous Demonic Way Clan in the Spirit Province. It was hard to imagine that Di Chen could return alive, and his power seemed to be even stronger than before.


    Di Chen laughed: "Fortunately, you didn''t make things difficult for me."


    Li Yu was surprised, and asked again: "Then what about Zi Yan, I remember that she was captured in Mo Family with you."


    Di Chen explained: "Zi Yan will stay in Mo Family, and Mo Family will not allow her to leave. This matter is very complicated, I will tell you about it in the future."


    He also couldn''t say that the Mo Family wanted Di Chen to join the Mo Family, so he held Zi Yan as a hostage. Although Zi Yan was fine, Qin Er was dead.


    "Jingjing." Di Chen didn''t want to stay any longer, so he said: "Let''s leave this place first."


    Liu Jingjing also wanted to know what had happened to Di Chen in this period of time, so she nodded and the two of them left to find a quiet place.


    This was the first time she saw him and asked curiously, "Di Chen, who is she? Why has she been following you all this time?"


    "She is Jie Duo, a witch ¡­" Di Chen then explained everything that happened before, including her going to the Mo Family, fighting with He Shao, being saved by him, and so on.


    Liu Jingjing had a face full of lingering fear, only now did she realise that Di Chen had actually been through a lot in this period of time.


    "You are in a more and more dangerous situation now. You have truly offended too many people."


    Liu Jingjing let out a long sigh. Every time she went anywhere, she would offend someone, and now, she had even offended the Nether Moon Sect s of the top ten ancient sects. She was truly worried.


    Di Chen analyzed his enemies, and the person who wanted to kill his the most was none other than Cao Yuer. Although her strength had improved quickly, he did not pose a threat to Di Chen, and other than her, there were a few people who disliked Di Chen, as well as the Mo Family and He family. The most terrifying thing was the Nether Moon Sect, and Di Chen still did not understand why Ning Fu suddenly wanted to kill his.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "Right now, I can only take one step at a time, but luckily Martial Region Continent is very big, and it won''t be easy for them to find me there."


    Liu Jingjing squinted: "Looks like we still have a lot of things to do. First of all, we need to rescue Zi Yan from the Mo Family, and secondly, we need to prevent the He family and the Nether Moon from finding trouble with you again."


    Although the Mo Family only held Zi Yan as a hostage, the problem was that the Mo Family was after all a demonic clan, who knew what they would ask Di Chen to do that would exceed them?


    Of course, Di Chen wanted to do this, but he could not help but sigh: "But with my abilities, it is impossible to save Zi Yan from the Mo Family, as long as I still have value in thinking about it, the Mo Family will not make things difficult for her, Mo Family does not need to care, as for the He family, they simply do not know who I am, and the most dangerous is the Nether Moon Sect."


    Di Chen thought to himself that he was the descendant of the Eternal Gate, the most dangerous sect in the Primordial Ten Supreme Sects. If they knew his identity, then the consequences would be dire.


    "That''s right," Di Chen said after thinking for a while. "I haven''t seen Senior Yu Xuanji for a long time, I need to go see him and tell him about what happened here."


    Liu Jingjing nodded his head: "You can go, I''ll guard for you here."


    Di Chen was a little worried about Jie Jing, so he advised: "Jie Wei, you stay here and listen to Jingjing''s words."


    Jie Long seemed to be unwilling, but still nodded after thinking for a while.


    Di Chen immediately took out the Eternal Gate''s order badge and opened a crack to go to the Eternal Gate, then he walked in.


    The Eternal Gate had already been buried in the subterranean. Previously, there was still the entrance to the Eternal Gate in the Thousand Goblins Forest, but now, the entrance was no longer there, and no one could find it. It had been a long time since the sun had shone on this place, and it was obviously eerie and dark.


    Di Chen entered Yu Xuanji''s secret room. Usually, Yu Xuanji would be sealed inside the stone statue, and she would only be able to come out once every so often.


    "Fish Sect Leader," Di Chen shouted to the stone statue.


    Yu Xuanji revealed his true appearance and laughed when he saw Di Chen: The Scholar''s Realm is at the seventh level of King Wen, the Warrior''s Realm is at the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, not bad, I have been cultivating rather fast during this period, what business do you have with me?


    Di Chen explained: "I met the descendants of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion as well as the Nether Moon Sect and the Five Ghosts Sect earlier."


    He described the identities of Luo Yumeng, Huai Yu and You Qin, and even mentioned how he helped You Qin to snatch the Sect Leader''s medallion from him.


    Yu Xuanji seemed to have long thought that these two sects would already have successors, and frowned: "I knew that the ten great sects would appear one after the other, I never thought that the two sects would find their people so quickly. The Shanghai Sword Pavilion and Nether Moon Sect are not considered evil sects, but the Five Ghosts Sect are definitely not good stuff, you have to think of a way to kill the Five Ghosts Sect''s disciples, and, if there is a chance, you have to snatch all the Sect Leader''s medallions from them."


    Actually, Di Chen had already prepared to do this the last time he met Huai Yu. It was just that at that time, when You Qin reached an agreement with Huai Yu and the others, Di Chen was also injured.


    Di Chen saw that Yu Xuanji seemed to have seen the Sect Leader Badge specially, and asked suspiciously: "What is the use of the Sect Leader Badge? Is it because of the cultivation method in the order badge? "


    Yu Xuanji was startled upon hearing this: "I have yet to tell you about this matter, how did you know?"


    Di Chen explained: "I helped You Qin defeat the people from the Five Ghosts Sect earlier, and she was grateful to me, so she brought me to the Nether Moon Sect. Originally, she wanted me to join, but in the end ¡­"


    He told her about meeting Ning Fu in the Nether Moon Sect. When he thought about how Ning Fu was still a little strange, he wondered why her personality suddenly changed for no reason.


    "Ning Fu..." Hearing this name, Yu Xuanji was surprised. He did not come back to his senses after a long time, as if he was very disappointed.


    Di Chen looked at her suspiciously, thinking, "Could she have some sort of relationship with Ning Fu?"


    Yu Xuanji took a long time before finally saying: "Actually, my relationship with Ning Fu is quite good. Amongst the ancient top ten sects, our Eternal Gate s are the best.


    Yu Xuanji seemed to be recalling something very long ago, he paused for a while before sighing, "Di Chen, the next time she wants to kill you, you have to tell her your identity, I think she might spare your life for my sake, of course, other than her, please do not speak of anyone else."


    Di Chen thought that their relationship was really good. One must know that she didn''t allow himself to reveal her identity in front of others, but he didn''t care that Ning Fu knew her identity.


    "Alright," Di Chen nodded his head, thinking that with this, the threat posed by the Nether Moon Sect to him would be lifted.


    Di Chen also did not plan to stay, and said: "Then I''ll be leaving first."


    "Wait," Yu Xuanji stopped Di Chen, and asked: "Don''t you want to know what the cultivation technique in the Eternal Token is?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "I am also like the other warriors who can cultivate and produce spirit energy, even if I knew, I wouldn''t be able to."


    Yu Xuanji smiled: "But the cultivation technique in your order badge is a cultivation technique cultivated by scholars."


    Di Chen was startled, he thought to himself that the Eternal Gate was also a sect that groomed warriors, how could there be a cultivation technique for the literati?


    Yu Xuanji saw that Di Chen did not understand, and explained: "Actually, Eternal Gate''s first generation Sect Leader was also a literati, so he left behind a set of cultivation techniques that us previous Sect Leader were unable to cultivate, thus, those cultivation techniques were always sealed in the Sect Leader''s order badge."


    Hearing this, Di Chen''s face was immediately filled with anticipation, thinking that the cultivation technique left behind by the first Sect Leader must be very powerful.


    Yu Xuanji attacked again: "It''s a pity that you can''t practice that cultivation technique until you break through to the next generation. You can''t even start to learn it right now."


    Di Chen was like a frosted eggplant, sighing helplessly, thinking to himself how long would he have to wait until he cultivated to Wen Zong.


    "Even if I chose to inherit the Eternal Gate because of your talent, you would have learned it sooner or later."


    Yu Xuanji comforted her: "Alright, you can go back first."


    Hearing this, Di Chen had a weird expression, this did not seem to be something Yu Xuanji could say, since when had she comforted himself before?


    "I understand," Di Chen said in a daze, and kept on having the feeling that the current Yu Xuanji seemed to be different from the past. Di Chen thought to himself that maybe because of Ning Fu, he did not think too much, and turned to leave.


    Yu Xuanji smiled as he looked at Di Chen''s back, and sighed emotionally, thinking that his choice was not wrong, he never thought that he would meet Ning Fu again, and Ning Fu was even treating him so well, but actually thinking about it carefully, it was understandable, Ning Fu was a good poet, and Di Chen was a literati who was an expert in this field, she naturally praised Di Chen, the reason he chose to kill Di Chen was also because Ning Fu''s heart was affected by his, and being betrayed by the person he was closest to.

 C243

    After Di Chen left the Eternal Gate, he returned to the Sky Realm Academy. Liu Jingjing and Jie Qian were still waiting for him.


    Seeing that Di Chen had returned, Liu Jingjing could not wait and asked: "How is it?"


    Jie Wei also looked at Di Chen worriedly.


    Di Chen smiled and said, "The Fish Sect Leader said that she and the Nether Moon Sect of the Nether Moon Sect can be considered old acquaintances. He told me not to hide my identity from her, so there shouldn''t be a problem."


    Currently, the greatest threat towards Di Chen was Nether Moon Sect. According to what Yu Xuanji had said, Nether Moon would not become Di Chen''s opponent, and might even help Di Chen.


    "In the future, you just have to avoid the He family and think of a way to bring Zi Yan out of the Mo Family."


    Liu Jingjing said with a smile.


    Di Chen was not actually worried about these two families. In fact, what he was most worried about was how much trouble the ten major sects of the Primordial Era would bring to the Martial Region Continent if they were to reappear. Also, Di Chen was a member of the Heaven Gate, and this Heaven Gate was extremely mysterious.


    "Oh right," Liu Jingjing suddenly said: "Just now, Bing Tong and Huang Zhan came to find you."


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Then I''ll go out and take a look, it''s been a long time since I''ve returned to Sky Realm Academy, and I don''t know if I''ll be able to see the little girl Shang Yu. Jingjing, wait for me here."


    Liu Jingjing was stunned at first, but then she smiled. It could be seen that her smile was very forced.


    When Liu Jingjing returned, she immediately thought of Shang Yu. The key thing was that she did not want him to follow her.


    Not long after he left, he saw Bing Tong and Huang Zhan.


    Previously, Di Chen had also seen Huang Zhan''s strength, in these few years, he had improved a lot, and he had matured a lot, becoming even more accomplished than his big brother Huang Ting.


    "Di Chen," Huang Zhan walked over and said with a smile. "I didn''t expect you to come back.


    Di Chen said calmly: "There are indeed some fortuitous encounters. Oh right, you went over to look for me earlier, what is it?"


    Huang Zhan said: "Actually it''s nothing much, one reason is to ask about your current strength, and the other reason is because Principal Mu asked us to come here, he wants to talk to you, so I''ll take you there."


    was a little suspicious. Back then, when he had entered the Famous Sword Academy, he had only glanced at Mu Zhongli a few times. In reality, he and Mu Zhongli had never spoken to each other, and he had no idea what Mu Zhongli wanted to talk about with him.


    After 10 minutes, Huang Zhan arrived at the Sect Leader''s pavilion. Huang Zhan was not qualified to enter, so Di Chen entered alone.


    When he entered the pavilion and saw Principal Mu Zhongli and Vice Principal Liang Xinghe, Di Chen had some impression of them. Back then, he had even saved Di Chen''s Sky Spill Brush, and he had picked it up from Celestial Road.


    "Dean ¡­" Di Chen bowed to the two of them.


    Liang Xinghe joked: "Back then you were forced to leave the Sky Realm Academy, and didn''t expect to join the Famous Sword Academy. Now, it even represents that the Famous Sword Academy won the competition for Martial King Realm.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "Actually, I won''t hide it from the two Headmasters, back then I had carried out a mission which was arranged by Principal Zhao Fusheng, who allowed me to join the Famous Sword Academy very early on, I was more at ease with the situation and did not agree, but because of the matter regarding Su''er, I was forced out of the academy, and met Headmaster Zhao outside the city gate. Since I had nowhere else to go, I agreed to go."


    Mu Zhongli scolded jokingly: "This old fox, I knew that he had plans for our Sky Realm Academy, but there is nothing you can do about it after joining the Famous Sword Academy. I just did not expect that you had improved so much in these past few years, so I know that you did not go all out during the previous matches."


    As the Principal of the Sky Realm Academy, Mu Zhongli naturally knew that Zhao Fusheng would secretly encourage the geniuses of the Sky Realm Academy s to join the Famous Sword Academy. In fact, the Clear Water Academy and the Principal of the other sects would also secretly urge the students of the other sects to join their own academies.


    Di Chen was startled, "Why does Principal Mu say that?"


    Liang Xinghe laughed: "Although you have never displayed it in front of others, but I know that you still have a martial spirit of light, I''m not wrong."


    Back then, when Di Chen participated in the Academy''s assessment, he had used the martial spirit of light, he thought that the two principals must have known about it, but there was nothing to hide, so he nodded, if he used the martial spirit of light, he could probably kill both Xiu-Er and Cao Yuer.


    The martial spirit of light was Di Chen''s trump card, he would definitely not use it carelessly.


    "That''s right." Mu Zhongli suddenly said with a serious face, "Actually, we did not come to find you to reminisce about the past. Did you run into people from the ten ancient sects?"


    Di Chen was slightly taken aback, he could tell that Mu Zhongli definitely knew something. He asked doubtfully, "How did Principal Mu know?"


    Liang Xinghe explained: "We know that you had entered the wizard tower before, came into contact with a person called Luo Yumeng, and even stole her Sect Leader medallion. This is something that one of our disciples saw."


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: I have seen this person before, when I was training with her, I had a conflict with her and snatched her order badge. After that, we met at the wizard tower, but because there were some things that required her help, I decided to threaten her with it. In the end, she helped me out and I returned the order badge to her.


    Mu Zhongli sighed: "Di Chen, you committed a huge mistake, you really shouldn''t have returned the order badge to her. The ancient top ten sects are all evil, their successors are naturally of the same nature, you should have thought of ways to kill that person, and you shouldn''t have returned the order badge to her."


    Liang Xinghe agreed: "That''s right, if one day those ten great sects rises up again, I''m afraid our Martial Region Continent is done for."


    Although Di Chen was the descendant of the Eternal Gate, Di Chen was actually not very familiar with the ten great sects. He had looked up information and records before, but the problem was that the records regarding the ten great sects were very limited.


    "Di Chen, take a look at this," Mu Zhongli took out a book and threw it at Di Chen.


    This was a piece of very ancient information, the pages had long ago turned yellow, and the words inside were also ancient words. Fortunately, Di Chen was knowledgeable enough to understand them.


    What surprised Di Chen was that these ten great sects were actually demonic sects, which killed countless people, especially the Eternal Gate. Back then, they were the top ten sects, and the disciples in their sects were even more ruthless and malicious. Furthermore, every time a Sect Leader took over, they would slaughter an entire city''s worth of people, so if one did not kill them, one did not have the qualifications to continue.


    When Di Chen saw this, his expression changed. Did that mean that when Yu Xuanji inherited the Eternal Gate, he also killed an entire city''s worth of people?


    "Are these sects really so scary?"


    Di Chen took a deep breath and said: "I thought these ten great sects had evil ways to deal with."


    Mu Zhongli smiled bitterly, "This record isn''t complete and it''s only a small part of it. The ancient sects were destroyed because of their cruelty. However, no one would have thought that the top ten sects would make a comeback."


    Di Chen said in a daze: "How did those ten great sects get annihilated?"


    Mu Zhongli pointed up and said mysteriously, "The heavens'' messenger!"


    Di Chen was shocked again, he suddenly thought about how the Heaven Gate he joined claimed to be the messenger, and thought to himself, could it be that the Heaven Gate was destroyed?


    However, Di Chen had read a lot of ancient books in the Eternal Gate, and these ancient sects were all disciples of the heavens. With the heavens as the leader, why did they have to be exterminated?


    What was the relationship between the Heaven Gate, the top ten sects, and those gods in the sky?


    Di Chen had a face full of suspicion, thinking that he must have been hiding some big secret from him all those years ago. Maybe Yu Xuanji knew something, but she might not tell him.


    Previously, Di Chen was still glad that he could actually become the successor of the Eternal Gate, but now, he was afraid. The ten great sects had very harsh requirements to choose their successors, killing people and sacrificing the heavens, but he had never done this before.


    "Principal Mu, why are you telling me these things?"


    Di Chen said in confusion: "These ten great ancient sects are just too strong, and I''m only using my Martial King Realm right now, it doesn''t seem like I can stop them."


    Mu Zhongli laughed, "When everything is in chaos, there will definitely be a hero that will appear. When the ten great sects of the Primordial Era were wreaking havoc on the Martial Region Continent, there was bound to be someone that would stop them in the future. This person is known as the Son of Heaven, and I believe that since the ten great sects are able to reappear, the Son of Heaven will naturally reappear."


    Di Chen suddenly thought of the information in the document that mentioned the Son of Heaven. He opened the document and looked at it again, thinking that Yu Xuanji had never talked about the Son of Heaven to him before.


    Di Chen said with a wry smile: "This Martial Region Continent is truly big, with so many geniuses, like crucian carp passing through the river. Even if you have the son of the heavens, why would the two principals think that it''s me?"


    Liang Xinghe said: "To tell you the truth, for the past few years, Principal Mu and I have been searching for the Son of Heaven, but we have never found him. Previously, when I saw you, I already had a faint feeling that you were not ordinary. You are a literati, but you have the power of a warrior, and you can cultivate and become a martial spirit of light without any spirit energy. You are not an ordinary person, there are too few warriors like you in the entire Martial Region Continent, so Principal Mu and I are sure that you are you."


    Di Chen thought to himself, he had seen many talents before, some of them were not worse than him, and just from this point, it was too fake. Furthermore, he was the descendant of the Eternal Gate, how could he be the predicted Son of Heaven?


    "I know you wouldn''t believe it, but we aren''t a hundred percent sure either. In short, you should be more careful in the future."


    Mu Zhongli took out a scroll and handed it over to Di Chen, saying: "This is our Sky Realm Academy''s most powerful cultivation technique, the King Kong Fist Technique. Take it."


    Di Chen was startled, of course he knew about this fist technique. This was a technique that only the Sect Leader could learn, why would Mu Zhongli give it to him?


    He thought to himself that if the students and teachers of Sky Realm Academy knew about this, they would definitely be so furious that they would go crazy.

 C244

    Di Chen left the pavilion with the King Kong Buddha Fist, he did not understand why warriors would need their Spirit Qi, he did not have any Spirit Qi in his body, he could not learn the technique, why would Principal Mu give him this technique?


    Liu Jingjing had never known of the dangers of the top ten ancient sects before. She could not help but be a little worried that Di Chen and him would be in danger again, but now that Di Chen had become the successor of the Eternal Gate, he could no longer change his plans. If he wanted to get rid of Yu Xuanji, it would be dangerous, but luckily the ten great ancient sects had not fully risen up yet, so Di Chen still had a chance.


    "Let''s not talk about the ten great sects for now. Your cultivation is still weak, even if the ten great sects want to harm the Martial Region Continent s, it is not your fault."


    Liu Jingjing chuckled, "However, Principal Mu saying that your son is the son of the heavens is quite interesting, and I wonder what that child of the heavens is exactly?"


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "Maybe he''s another person who can save tens of thousands of lives."


    Even though it was a joke, Di Chen still had some doubts in his heart. The top ten ancient sects all respected the heavens, so how could the Son of Heaven destroy the top ten ancient sects?


    Di Chen thought that something unfortunate had happened in the Primordial Era, it was just that these things had not been passed down.


    "Oh right," Di Chen thought for a moment and said, "Why do you think Mu Sect Leader gave me that cultivation technique?"


    Liu Jingjing thought for a while and said: "If you are truly the Son of Heaven, then you can definitely learn it. If you can''t, then I think that Mu Sect Leader is preparing to use this technique to test you."


    Di Chen thought that this was true, if he really was the so called Son of Heaven, how could he not know this technique?


    It was just that the words "Son of Heaven" were too mysterious, and it was the first time Di Chen had heard it today.


    "Di Chen..." At this moment, Li Yu walked in and shouted, "Principal Zhao wants you to go over to his place."


    "Ok," Di Chen nodded his head and left with Li Yu.


    had been very worried ever since Di Chen had left the Famous Sword Academy. He had thought that Di Chen was definitely going to die, he never thought that Di Chen would be able to return and even help the Famous Sword Academy win the Martial King Realm competition. This made him somewhat gratified.


    "Where have you been all this time?" Zhao Fusheng asked.


    Di Chen recounted the situation that he had encountered in the Mo Family, but did not mention anything about him meeting the people from the Nether Moon Sect. For the time being, he did not want Zhao Fusheng to know about the appearance of the Nether Moon Sect.


    Zhao Fusheng heard his uncle frown and said: "I never thought that Mo Family would actually not kill you, but allow you to join Mo Family. It''s just that Mo Family is a Demonic Dao Clan, it''s too dangerous for you to stay in Mo Family, I have to think of a way to get you rid of them."


    Di Chen also knew that he wouldn''t be able to escape Mo Family with his own power, but he still shook his head and said: "Forget it, Zi Yan is still in Mo Family, for the time being, Zi Yan won''t be in danger, I''ll think of a way to deal with this matter."


    Although the Mo Family was in danger, at the very least, Mo Xun and Mo Yuner treated him quite well now. Di Chen thought that she wouldn''t be in danger for a while, if he let Zhao Fusheng help him out, it might anger the Mo Family, and it would be the opposite.


    Zhao Fusheng let out a long sigh, "Since you have an idea yourself, then you can decide it for yourself. Right, why did Mu Zhongli look for you for?"


    Di Chen explained the ten great sects to them, including the matter of them thinking he was the Son of Heaven and the Vajra Buddha Fist that he got from them.


    naturally knew that the ten great sects of the Primordial Era had already appeared, he had also always been looking for the Son of Heaven. Previously, he had also discussed this with Mu Zhongli with Mu Zhongli, and Mu Zhongli previously thought that Di Chen was the Son of Heaven, and Zhao Fusheng knew as well, but he did not believe it. Although Di Chen was talented and had a fortuitous encounter, the requirement to become the Son of Heaven was still too far, how could the genius of Martial Region Continent be so powerful.


    Zhao Fusheng laughed: "He is so stubborn, before, he already told me that you might be, but I don''t think so, I never thought that he would actually gift you the King Kong Buddha Fist."


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "There is no use in leaving the Vajra Buddha Fist to me, I can''t learn it."


    Of course, Zhao Fusheng knew Mu Zhongli''s intentions, he smiled and did not say anything, but from the looks of it, he did not think that Di Chen had the chance to learn it.


    The Son of Heaven was someone chosen by the heavens, he must be a warrior, how could he be a literati?


    There was another reason why Zhao Fusheng did not think that Di Chen was the Son of Heaven. It was because he already had a choice in mind, and that person was even stronger than Di Chen.


    Di Chen would quickly follow the people from the Famous Sword Academy and leave the Millennium City. Previously, Di Chen still wanted to meet Shang Yu but previously, he had forgotten to tell Mu Zhongli that he had found Yang Mengqi.


    After arriving at medicinal garden, Di Chen saw that Yang Mengqi was still fiddling with the flowers and plants.


    "Di Chen, you''re here..." Yang Mengqi had a very good impression of Di Chen, this medicinal garden allowed him to enter and leave freely.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "Teacher Yang, where is Shang Yu? I don''t think I saw her this time."


    Yang Mengqi asked curiously: "You don''t know? Shang Yu came out of seclusion a year ago, and then left the Sky Realm Academy to cultivate. She hasn''t come back for more than a year. "


    Di Chen was startled: "Where did Shang Yu go?"


    Yang Mengqi thought that when Shang Yu came out of seclusion, Di Chen had already left Famous Sword Academy, so Shang Yu probably did not know where Di Chen was.


    Yang Mengqi sighed: "Di Chen, I know that you and Shang Yu are childhood friends, but you may not know this, Shang Yu is almost at the Wu Zong Realm. If you want to be with her, you have to catch up to her as soon as possible."


    "What?" Back then, when Shang Yu left Ling''an City, her cultivation was not as strong as Di Chen''s. Later on, she returned back to Ling''an City, but Di Chen had rarely seen her use her true strength. He thought that she would at most be as strong as him, but he never expected her to be able to shake him off by so much.


    Di Chen laughed bitterly: "I never thought that she would be so strong. Seems like I need to use this time to cultivate and not see her for a while. Teacher Yang, I will leave first."


    Shang Yu also thought the same way when it came to this matter. The reason why she chose to go into closed door cultivation was partly because she was at a critical moment in her cultivation, but also because she wanted Di Chen to take a bit more time to cultivate so that she wouldn''t disturb Di Chen.


    Before leaving, Di Chen took a glance at Yang Mengqi''s body condition. Previously, Yang Mengqi''s identity had emitted a black light, which meant that Yang Mengqi would be in a miserable state in the future. However, now that she was emitting a light red light, it meant that her fate had changed.


    A few days later, Di Chen followed Zhao Fusheng and left the Millennium City, preparing to return to Youzhou. However, he did not directly return to the Famous Sword Academy, as there was no reason for him to stay there with his current strength. Furthermore, Di Chen was truly worried about Zi Yan, so he prepared to go to the Mo Family.


    It was too dangerous to go to Mo Family, but Di Chen insisted on going, so Zhao Fusheng had no choice but to agree.


    However, Zhao Fusheng knew very well that Di Chen had already done what he had promised, he had won the competition at the Three Great Academies, and would probably never go to Famous Sword Academy again.


    Although it was somewhat regretful, Di Chen was, after all, a talented person. Someone like him wouldn''t stay in a place for too long, let alone a literati.


    Originally, Liu Jingjing also wanted to follow Di Chen, but because Zi Yan was already trapped by the Mo Family, Di Chen did not want Liu Jingjing to be in any more danger, so he did not agree to it. In the end, Liu Jingjing still agreed to it.


    Mo Family.


    The first thing he did after returning was to look for Zi Yan. At this time, Zi Yan seemed to have followed Mo Family alone to cultivate, and seeing how she seemed to have already broken through his Third Level of the Martial King Realm, his cultivation speed seemed to be rather fast, seems like Mo Family hadn''t made things difficult for her during this period of time. Only then did Di Chen heave a sigh of relief, but it was understandable, not to mention Di Chen, even Zi Yan could be considered a talented person now, who had refined five Blood-Drinking Sword, so Mo Family naturally wanted to nurture her.


    When Zi Yan saw that Di Chen had finally returned, he stopped his cultivation and ran over, excited. "Di Chen, you''re finally back!


    Di Chen said: "Let''s decide the victor. Sky Realm Academy will win the competition of Lifestealer Realm, I will win the competition of Martial King Realm, and Clear Water Academy will win the competition of Martial Monarch Level."


    In fact, if not for Di Chen rushing back in time, Sky Realm Academy would have won the Martial King Realm competition.


    Zi Yan giggled and said: "I knew you would win."


    Di Chen asked: "Are you alright staying here for this period of time, have the Mo Family people made things difficult for you?"


    Zi Yan laughed and shook his head: "No, you''re so powerful, they still want to nurture you, and since I used five Blood-Drinking Sword s, the Mo Family has always taken care of me, so during this period of time I have been given quite a few pills, I have already broken through to the 3rd level of the Martial King realm, and my fighting strength has also improved a lot."


    After Di Chen heard these words, he then became relieved, thinking that perhaps staying in Mo Family was not a bad thing, at least she would have a big breakthrough in his cultivation, if only he had known in the underworld, Bai Qian would be pleased.


    "Then cultivate well," Di Chen bade farewell to Zi Yan and left her room.


    Not long after she left, she met Mo Xun again. She was very interested in him, and when she found out that she had returned, she had also specifically come to find him.


    Mo Xun ran over to Di Chen, holding onto Di Chen''s arm and saying mischievously: "Di Chen, you''re finally back. I thought that after you left, you didn''t intend to come back."


    This was just a little blaming Di Chen for walking for too long, but she felt a bit awkward the moment the words left his mouth. Zi Yan was still imprisoned in the Mo Family, so how could Di Chen not come back?


    Di Chen laughed, and did not expose him, and said: "I do not need to go to Famous Sword Academy for this period of time, after the competition between the three great academies is over, there is actually no need for me to stay here."

 C245

    Di Chen was not suitable for cultivation in the Academy, this time he was prepared to travel to all sorts of different places in the Martial Region Continent, and suddenly strike the Martial Saint Realm as soon as possible.


    Mo Xun said while grinning: "Actually it''s fine if you don''t go, you can stay in Mo Family. Second Uncle and Seventh Sister are very important to you anyways."


    Di Chen laughed, thinking that he was not someone from the Mo Family, if there was a need to one day, would the Mo Family throw him away like a chess piece?


    How could he understand Di Chen''s thoughts? He said: "My Seventh Sister said that when you come back, we''ll go over to her place. Let''s go."


    Di Chen thought that Mo Yuner would normally not look for him, unless there was something important, hence he nodded and followed Mo Xun to Mo Yuner''s room.


    Mo Yuner was never worried that Di Chen would not return. She smiled and said, "Your cultivation seems to have improved again, looks like you have won this competition between the three great academies."


    Di Chen nodded his head: "Earlier, I broke through Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm at mountain, and now I can attack Martial Monarch Level, but I''m temporarily unable to breakthrough the state of the scholar."


    According to Di Chen''s thoughts, he was prepared to break through the realms of a ranker and a literati at the same time, so during this period of time, he was prepared to grab some time to cultivate the realms of a scholar.


    Mo Yuner changed the subject, "Some time ago, the He Clan sent someone to our Mo Family, saying that you killed the He Clan and wanted us to hand you over."


    The He family and the Mo Family had a complicated relationship, the Mo Family was very strong, of course the He family did not dare to directly cause trouble for the Mo Family, but the He family knew very well that Di Chen was not from the Mo Family, so they prepared to have the Mo Family hand Di Chen over.


    Mo Xun was furious when she thought about how they were almost killed by the She family, and she said angrily: "Why did they make us hand Di Chen over? They were the ones who attacked us first, and Di Chen and I almost died in their hands."


    Mo Yuner shook her head and said: "That''s not true, our Mo Family did not suffer any losses, but the He family did lose two people, and even a genius like He Shao was injured, the He family will obviously not let this matter rest."


    Mo Xun was afraid that Mo Family would hand Di Chen over, and immediately begged, "Seventh Sister, you better not let second uncle do this."


    She still couldn''t bear to part with Di Chen. After all, Di Chen was her savior.


    Mo Yuner said without hesitation: "Don''t worry, I will not agree."


    If it was before, Mo Yuner might have considered the He family''s influence, but Di Chen had saved her life before, she was grateful to Di Chen, and this time she would not agree to hand him over.


    Mo Xun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.


    Seeing how persistent Mo Yuner was, Di Chen knew that she would not agree, but Di Chen was a little worried. The rest of the people in the Mo Family did not think like Mo Yuner, for example, Mo Xiuqi, his son Demon Abyss and Mo Yuner were at odds, the competition was intense, he obviously did not want Mo Yuner''s power to grow stronger, so he definitely wanted to think of a way to get rid of Di Chen. There was also Demon Hong, but although he did not know that her son died in Di Chen''s hands, she still hated Di Chen a lot.


    "Di Chen," Mo Yuner said seriously: "The He family will come back tomorrow, at that time, you come with me."


    "Alright," Di Chen thought to himself.


    Mo Family Hall.


    On the right were the elders from Mo Family, Mo Xiuqi, Mo Hong, Mo Long and the rest. The younger generation of Mo Family as well as Di Chen were all present.


    The left side was led by a middle-aged man in white, who had a dignified gaze. This was the He Family''s Family Head, He Daotian.


    Although the He and Mo Family families were at odds, the two families would always maintain a mutual relationship and would not rashly and completely fall out. It was normal for there to be battles between the younger generation, but no one had ever died, but this time two geniuses of the He family had died, and even He Shao was injured.


    "Mo Xiuwen!" When He Daotian thought about the two geniuses of the He family being killed, he could not help but become angry and roared furiously, "Even though there are some grudges between our two families, there shouldn''t be any need to kill people right?"


    Mo Xiuwen had actually known about this a long time ago, he laughed and said: "That day, it was also the He family members who wanted to kill our Mo Family''s people first, this point is unquestionable. Your He family''s cultivation is not as good as ours, yet they came to blame us?"


    Mo Xun almost died at He Shao''s hands, and Mo Yuner was even more heavily injured. How could Mo Xiuwen accept this kind of thing?


    He Daotian slammed the table and said: "If your Mo Family doesn''t give us an explanation, then we won''t have anything to say. At worst, we can just fight to the death."


    There were actually many great clans like the Mo Family and He Clan in the Spirit Province. Under normal circumstances, no other clans would fight to the death with other clans. Fighting against the He Clan and the Mo Family was actually not a good thing for any clan.


    Mo Xiuwen laughed coldly: "Do you think our Mo Family is afraid of your He family?"


    Seeing that Mo Xiuwen was not afraid at all, He Daotian did not say anymore, he got up and wanted to leave, seems like he would not let this matter rest.


    "Wait a minute," Mo Xiuqi suddenly spoke up. "This matter was started by your Mo Family, but if our two families were to fight to the death, it would be of no benefit to anyone, and you are clear about this point, how do you want us to explain it?"


    Mo Xiuqi did not wish to fight with the He family, as this would not be beneficial to the development of the Mo Family, so he was willing to compromise with the participants.


    Hearing this, Mo Xiuwen frowned, he glanced at Mo Xiuqi, but did not say anything.


    After He Daotian heard this, he stopped and laughed: "I know the one who killed our He family members is not from Mo Family, you can just hand him over."


    In reality, this matter was related to the people of the Mo Family, but He Daotian was very clear that if he directly made the Mo Family hand over the Mo Family, he would not agree, so he decided to take a step back and let the Mo Family hand over Di Chen, this would be considered revenge.


    "Alright," Mo Xiuqi glanced at Di Chen, and agreed without hesitation. To him, Di Chen was Mo Yuner''s man, and staying in Mo Family was actually troublesome, so he might as well kill him.


    "That won''t do," Mo Yuner retorted in front of everyone. "Di Chen is now considered a member of our Mo Family, how can he hand him over so casually?"


    Mo Xun was also furious: "I don''t agree either, this time it was the He family that wanted to kill me first, and Di Chen wanted to save me, why should I hand him over to the He family?"


    Mo Xiuqi berated: "This is a matter of seniors, is it your place to speak?"


    Being scolded in such a manner, Mo Xun and Mo Yuner did not say much. After all, Mo Xiuqi''s status and position was very high.


    "Brother, this time, I do not agree to surrender Di Chen ¡­"


    He glanced at He Daotian with disdain and said: "When we, the Mo Family devils, were afraid of the He family, so what if we kill the people from their Mo Family.


    Mo Xun was the daughter of Mo Xin, and she almost died in the hands of the He family, of course he would object, and furthermore, Mo Xin knew Mo Xiuqi''s intentions, he was just afraid that Mo Yuner''s power would be too strong, so he wanted to weaken her, so he obviously didn''t want him to succeed.


    Mo Xiuqi said in a stern voice: "Ninth Brother, could it be that you want us Mo Family and the He family to fight to the death because of an outsider, do you think that''s worth it?"


    "Although Di Chen doesn''t believe in demons, he passed the examination to become a member of my Mo Family. How can I hand over people from my Mo Family?"


    Mo Xiuqi taunted: "So what if he passed the fighting ground examination? Our Mo Family s pick out pawns for us, the Mo Family s are too many people like him, why do you have to place so much importance on him?"


    In Mo Xiuqi''s opinion, Di Chen was just a chess piece that the people of Mo Family could casually throw away, something that they could sacrifice, and they would have to pay the price for protecting Di Chen. How was that possible?


    "I think what Big Bro said is right. It''s not worth it to pay a price for a chess piece."


    Earlier, when Di Chen had injured Mo Xiao and Devil Hong had always been against Mo Yuner inheriting the position of Family Head, he would naturally stand on Mo Xiuqi''s side.


    Mo Xun and Mo Yuner were so angry that they wanted to scold him. Di Chen saved us, and yet you call him worthless?


    Di Chen calmly stared at Mo Hong and Mo Xiuqi, and actually said that he was a chess piece in front of everyone, he thought to himself, it seems these two fellows really do not put him in their eyes, they are so determined to kill him, it seems that he had to be careful of them in the future.


    He Daotian heard the people of Mo Family arguing and he ridiculed them. From this, He Daotian could tell that the competition among the people of Mo Family was very intense and he was actually happy to see this kind of situation.


    "I just want you to hand over the culprit that killed our He Clan. This is already the biggest concession our He Clan can make."


    He Daotian smiled, he was pressing on and was determined to kill the Mo Family and hand Di Chen over.


    Those who supported Mo Xiuqi wanted to hand Di Chen over, while those who supported Mo Xiuwen did not agree, but in the end, these things required Family Head to make the decision.


    Mo Xiuwen stood up and extended his hand to stop the crowd from arguing again. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Mo Xiuwen calmly.


    Mo Xiuwen''s gaze swept past every single person as he said seriously: "My Mo Family has my Mo Family''s rules, and since Di Chen has passed the fighting ground, then he can be considered a member of my Mo Family, and not someone who my Mo Family can casually use discarded chess pieces. Furthermore, Di Chen has saved my Mo Family before, so I will now announce, no matter who Di Chen kills outside, I will not hand him over to you."


    Then, he looked at He Daotian and muttered, "Family Head He, you should go back first.


    Previously, when Mo Xiuwen thought that Di Chen had died, he let him enter the fighting ground, causing Di Chen to be unhappy. This matter was also what Mo Xiuwen regretted the most, and now that the situation was similar to before, Mo Xiuwen obviously did not want to make the same mistake as before.


    Mo Xiuwen believed that Di Chen was a person with talent and ability, and he would definitely be of great use to the Mo Family in the future.

 C246

    "Xiu Wen, are you serious?" Mo Xiuqi asked in a low voice.


    Mo Xiuwen said seriously: "Big brother, you don''t need to say anymore, I have already made up my mind. In the future, Di Chen will be a member of my Mo Family, no one can touch him."


    This was the first time he spoke with such a powerful tone, he could tell that Mo Xiuwen was really going to protect Di Chen this time.


    Mo Xiuqi stared at Mo Xiuwen for a while. In the past, Mo Xiuwen had never been this strong, it seemed that he valued Di Chen greatly. This time, Mo Xiuqi did not say anything, and kept quiet.


    It wasn''t good for Mo Hong to say anything else, but this made him feel uneasy.


    He Daotian looked at Mo Xiuwen and said: "So that means you''re really planning to openly offend our He family for an outsider?"


    Mo Xiuwen was too lazy to answer his question, he looked at a butler and said: "See the guests out."


    He Daotian did not speak anymore and turned to leave. It seemed that he would not let this matter rest.


    He Shao''s gaze landed on Di Chen, and said coldly: "Last time you were lucky to be able to escape, but next time you won''t have that kind of luck, you better always stay in the He family and not come out, or else I won''t let you off."


    After saying this, he left with the He family members.


    Di Chen frowned, thinking that this He Shao was at the fourth level of Martial King, while he was only at the Martial King Realm, it would probably be difficult for him to deal with him with his own strength, he had to quickly think of a way to break through the Martial King and the two realms of the Emperor of Wen Huang, only then would he be able to protect his own life.


    Mo Xiuqi seemed to be very unsatisfied with Mo Xiuwen''s actions of protecting Di Chen. With that cold sentence, he left, and those who supported him followed closely behind.


    Mo Xiuwen raised his eyebrows. Although the Mo Family had always been separated into several forces, but in truth, the Mo Family did not seem to be falling out with him on the surface. But now that Mo Xiuwen had broken out in conflict with Mo Xiuqi, it was not a good thing for the Mo Family.


    He glanced at Di Chen, as if he had something to say, but after thinking for a while, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he directly left the hall and did not warn Di Chen about being careful, so the others followed him and left.


    "Sigh." Mo Yuner let out a long sigh as she said, "Looks like our Mo Family will be in trouble this time. I reckon that we''ll have no choice but to completely fall out with the He Clan."


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Your Mo Family and He Family are evenly matched, you shouldn''t be afraid of them, right?"


    Mo Yuner laughed: "Yes, I am not afraid, but the problem is that there are a lot of clans that are eyeing our Mo Family like tigers, after all, our Mo Family is a Demonic Way Clan, our reputation is not good, if we really fight, the other clans would definitely take advantage of the situation, so our Mo Family actually does not wish to fight the other clans to the point of mutual destruction, but it seems that this battle is unavoidable."


    Di Chen could understand why he said that, but it was just like how the Famous Sword Academy viewed the Mo Family as a demonic path. There were too many people in the entire Spirit Continent who wanted to destroy the Mo Family.


    Mo Xun did not seem to be afraid at all, and replied: "What are you afraid of, I do not believe that our Mo Family cannot win against the He Family, at most we can just annihilate them, aren''t we already prepared to do that?"


    Mo Yuner laughed bitterly. Mo Xun was still young and impulsive, how could she know how dangerous it would be to fight against the He family head on?


    Di Chen thought that the Mo Family did not have confidence, and would need more helpers to destroy the He family, but the Mo Family could not find anyone to help them eliminate the He family. Di Chen suddenly thought of Ning Fu, thinking that with her strength, maybe she could make a move, but after thinking for a bit, he shook his head.


    At the foot of Tianshan.


    "Father, that Di Chen killed He Tong, we cannot let this go."


    He Shao was not convinced when he thought about how he was injured by Di Chen. He said: "Since Mo Family is protecting that person, he obviously does not put us in his eyes. I think we should think of a way to kill Mo Family."


    He Daotian squinted his eyes, he did not answer He Shao immediately, and only after a long period of silence did he speak: "Of course I will not let Mo Family go, but we cannot do it with just the power of the He family, we have to find someone to help us."


    He Shao thought for a while, then said: "Father, what do you think about the Li Family?"


    He Daotian frowned upon hearing this, this Li Clan was also a large clan of the You Prefecture, and was about the same as the Mo Family and the He Clan''s power, this family had always been neutral, but in reality, he was also hostile to the Mo Family. He had always wanted to swallow the Mo Family, and this was a good opportunity.


    "Alright," He Daotian said, "Go back first, I''ll make a trip to the Li Clan right now."


    As he spoke, he led the He Clan elders to the Li Clan.


    The Li family was located twenty kilometers away from Youzhou. They were not like the Mo Family, a hidden family. The Li family mainly dealt in business, which made them one of the most powerful families in Youzhou.


    In the hall.


    Directly above them was a dignified middle-aged man. This was the Li family''s Patriarch, Li Jie, and on the right side of the hall was a few elders of the Li family.


    Li Jie looked at He Daotian playfully, then laughed: "Brother He, why would you have the time to come to my Li Family? I heard that during this period of time, Li Jun and Mo Family have had some conflicts."


    He Daotian laughed: "Brother Li is fully aware of my recent situation, that''s right, during this period of time, our He Clan and the Mo Family have been in an uproar, and the main reason for my visit this time is to ask Brother Li for a favour."


    Of course, Li Jie knew that He Daotian''s goal was not simple, and stared at him for a while before saying: "I wonder what Brother He''s busy with?"


    He Daotian said seriously: "I know that your Li Family has always coveted the Tianshan, but because you cannot obtain it, after we join hands and destroy the Mo Family, the Tianshan will belong to you. We only need to offend a small amount of silver taels and pills from the Mo Family."


    If it was before, He Daotian would definitely not do this, but now, He Daotian really wanted to exterminate the Mo Family, so he would rather be at a disadvantage.


    Li Jie raised his eyebrows, if it was simply exterminating the Devil Dao, he would definitely not agree, but He Daotian''s condition was too tempting, he could not resist the temptation, so after thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.


    "That''s good," He Daotian stood up and said. "I''ll go back to prepare, hopefully, we can do our best to eradicate the Mo Family this time around."


    The next day.


    He Daotian and Li Jie brought the clansmen of the two families to the foot of Tianshan. This time, the two families went all out, with many of them being warriors.


    "This is the Tianshan that the Mo Family is at. There are many Snow demon on the Tianshan, and the Mo Family has even set up an array formation. Anyone other than the Mo Family can''t enter and leave this snowy mountain freely."


    Li Jie looked at He Daotian seriously and said: "If we are not careful, we might actually end up dying inside this Tianshan."


    The Mo Family had already existed in the Tianshan for hundreds of years. Although this position was well hidden, there were a number of people who knew that some of them wanted to sneak into the Mo Family, but none of them didn''t.


    He Daotian laughed and said: "Other than forcefully attacking them, we have no other choice, but with the strength of the two of us, it shouldn''t be too difficult."


    Li Jie thoughtfully nodded, thinking that since he had already brought people here, there was no time to regret, so he brought people to rush to Tianshan.


    At the foot of Tianshan Mountain were some ordinary Snow demon, but it was not difficult for the two families. When they reached the mountainside of Tianshan, some powerful Snow demon appeared, but of course, Snow demon of this level couldn''t even withstand a single blow from Li Jie.


    "The Tianshan has many Snow demon, many of them were deliberately raised by the people of the Mo Family, to prevent outsiders from entering, but these Snow demon are too weak."


    "Yeah, it''s said that the Tianshan''s Snow demon are powerful, in my opinion, it''s only so-so."


    The group arrived at the mountainside very easily. The people who had been wary of them were now somewhat afraid.


    He Daotian and Li Jie frowned. The Mo Family must have known that they were coming for him, but they had not come to stop them. This showed that they were confident that the Tianshan could stop them.


    Weng! *


    The air trembled, and at this moment, the earth started to shake violently. Snow demon s drilled out from the subterranean, densely packed together, filling the entire snow mountain.


    Although Tianshan could normally see many Snow demon roaming about, in truth, those Snow demon were all hidden in the subterranean, and would not easily reveal themselves, but once they encountered any outsiders attacking them, the demonic snow would usually appear.


    All the Snow demon roared, and then rushed towards the group.


    He Daotian''s expression changed. He had come to the Tianshan yesterday, and had not seen so many Snow demon at that time. Who would have thought that he would actually be hiding in the subterranean?


    "Since you''re already here, it''s too late to regret it. Kill," Li Jie shouted, and then summoned his Spirit Sword to kill the Snow demon.


    Li Jie and He Daotian had already reached the Martial Ancestor Realm, so of course these Snow demon s were not able to withstand a single blow. However, there were too many of them, and there were also some with relatively weaker strength from the two families. Both sides were soon dead or injured, but in the end, they were still no match for the Snow demon s.


    A few minutes later, relying on Li Jie''s and He Daotian''s strength, they finally killed the Snow demon.


    Li Jie said seriously: "This is only the halfway point of the mountain, looks like it will be very difficult to force myself into Mo Family."


    He Daotian smiled lightly: "It''s not that we aren''t prepared, but no matter how strong this Mo Family is, it''s impossible for him to defend against us two. Let''s go."


    Li Jie knew that He Daotian had come prepared, after all, the He family''s Emperor Equipment was not an ordinary item, furthermore, Li Jie had brought Li Jie''s Emperor Equipment this time.


    "Let''s go," He Daotian said as he continued to lead the group deeper into the Tianshan. As they went deeper and deeper into the Tianshan, more and more Snow demon began to appear, but these Snow demon''s strongest were only at the Martial Saint realm.


    After walking for another hour, they were already at the deepest part of Tianshan. From here, there were actually very few Snow demon s, and a few scattered Snow demon on the ground didn''t attack the two families as if they didn''t care at all. This made He Daotian and Li Jie feel that it was dangerous.


    "Chi!"


    Just then, the ground started to shake again, a gigantic arm full of white fur came out from subterranean. It grabbed onto a warrior and squeezed hard, and with a loud bang, the warrior was crushed, blood splattered everywhere.

 C247

    "Get out of the way," Li Jie immediately shouted.


    His two arms supported the ground as he stuck out his head, and then his entire body crawled out. It was a four zhang tall Snow demon, with snow-white fur, and two long horns on his head that looked like he was standing in human form. He looked a little like a white ape.


    Yao Xue roared, her voice was like a ripple as it dispersed. The ripple slid across the bodies of the crowd, causing a few people to explode on the spot. Then, it raised its fist and smashed into the crowd.


    "Not good, it''s a Demon Emperor," Li Jie''s expression changed as he immediately charged into the crowd. He then took out a shield, which was engraved with crystal patterns, and split into ten meters as it welcomed the punch. This was the Sky Crystal Shield, a royal weapon.


    The Snow demon''s fist landed on the Sky Crystal Shield, and with a loud bang, Li Jie''s body sank. It was as if he had been smashed by a mountain, but in the end, he was able to withstand the attack.


    "What a powerful Snow demon," Li Jie said in a deep voice, if this Snow demon were to smash it again, the Sky Crystal Shield would definitely shatter it.


    Li Jie released his spirit energy and punched at the Snow demon. His boundless spirit energy turned into a forty foot long air dragon as it roared at the Snow demon: "Heavenly Dragon Fist."


    The Qi dragon struck the Snow demon, causing its huge body to be pushed back a few steps. The Snow demon''s feet stepped on the ground, making a rumbling sound, and with every step, the ground trembled. However, the Snow demon only suffered a few superficial wounds, and wasn''t too injured.


    Li Jie continued to use his Sky Crystal Shield to block the Snow demon''s attack. He clenched his teeth, looked at He Daotian, and said: "This must be the Tianshan''s Mountain Shrouding demonic beast.


    This Snow demon''s strength was slightly stronger than Li Jie''s, Li Jie was confident that he could kill it, but the problem was that this would cause Li Jie to pay a huge price, which was not beneficial to attacking Mo Family.


    He Daotian immediately took out a longbow. This longbow was one metre long and was scarlet red in color. This was a God Slaying Bow made from dragon bones and dragon tendons, it was extremely powerful.


    He Daotian''s spirit energy turned into an arrow, he pulled the bow to the point that it was full of arcs, aimed straight at the Snow demon, his two fingers loosened, the bowstring released, and with a bang, the arrow shot towards the Snow demon.


    The spirit arrow shot into the Snow demon''s body, bringing the huge body of the Snow demon with it as it flew for more than ten meters, heavily smashing onto the ground and causing the entire Tianshan to shake.


    "Is he finally dead?" He Daotian''s face was pale white, it seemed like the shot he used just now had consumed a lot of his energy, he took out a few pills and swallowed them, only after a while did he recover a little.


    Li Jie walked over, looked at He Daotian and asked: "How are you?"


    He Daotian panted: "This God Slaying Bow is the strongest Emperor Armament in my He family, even with my strength, I can only barely use it. Just a moment ago, I exhausted a bit, but after consuming a few pills, I''m fine, let''s rest for a while, I think the people of Mo Family should know that we are here."


    The guardian beast was the most dangerous barrier of the Tianshan, and now that the Snow demon was dead, it was relatively easy for the group to attack the Mo Family. Furthermore, the group of people just now had exhausted a lot of their energy, so without the recovery power, they did not dare to rashly advance.


    Two hours ago.


    "Second brother, it''s bad, the He family has brought people to attack us."


    In the main hall of the Mo Family, Mo Xin quickly rushed in, looked at Mo Xiuwen and anxiously said: "Not only the He Clan, even the Li Clan has come."


    "What?" Mo Xiuwen had always known that the He Family would not let it go, and was very clear that the He Family would come to attack the Mo Family.


    After Mo Xiuqi heard this, he immediately became furious, and shouted at Mo Xiuwen: "Second brother, this is all your fault, in order to protect an outsider and the He family from falling out, but now, the He family and the Li family have joined hands to attack our Mo Family, if our Mo Family is unable to escape from this calamity, you will be a sinner for all eternity."


    "Brother, you can''t say that. You also know that the He and Li Families were originally not on par with our Mo Family. Even without Di Chen, do you think those two families would not attack us?"


    In fact, the He and Li Families had planned to attack the Mo Family a long time ago, and the Mo Family naturally had the same plan. It was just that Mo Xiuwen never expected that they would attack so quickly.


    Mo Xiuwen was not in the mood to argue with Mo Xiuqi, he thought for a while and said: "Our attack was very sudden, and it won''t be that easy to rush to Tianshan, so there''s no need to worry too much, but we can''t overlook these two families, Ninth Brother and Big Brother, you two prepare yourself, and we will go and stop them."


    "Okay." Demonshine didn''t hesitate to make his preparations.


    Mo Xiuqi did not leave immediately, and said in a low voice: "Second Brother, this matter was caused by you, you need to be responsible for it."


    Mo Xiuwen frowned: "Big Brother, just how do you need me to take responsibility? If you have anything to say, just say it."


    Mo Xiuqi was silent for a moment before saying: "Our Mo Family has our rules, you have brought such a great threat to our Mo Family, you can''t just blame it on yourself, you''re not fit to be our Mo Family anymore, you should abdicate."


    Back then, when Mo Family had selected his Family Head, Mo Xiuwen and Mo Xiuqi had competed, and in the end, Mo Xiuwen won. Mo Xiuqi had always been unconvinced, and he still wanted to find a chance to reclaim his position in the Family Head.


    "I will abdicate," Mo Xiuwen originally did not plan to continue being Family Head. He paused for a moment before continuing, "But not now.


    Mo Xiuqi laughed coldly: "Second brother, do you think I''m stupid? Once you get through this crisis, will you still abdicate?"


    Mo Xiuwen frowned: "The reason why I chose to pass the test and abdicate is not only because it is not the right time yet, but also because the successor of our Mo Family has not chosen yet, even if I am to abdicate now, who do you want to inherit it?"


    This so called inheritance was naturally the younger generation from the Mo Family.


    Mo Xiuqi smiled and said: "The Mo Family Family Competition has yet to begin, so we are naturally unable to find an heir amongst the younger generation of the Mo Family, but we can find someone to temporarily replace you."


    "Who?" In fact, Mo Xiuwen had already vaguely guessed who Mo Xiuwen was talking about.


    Mo Xiuqi said seriously: "I am the eldest son of the Mo Family, and no one is more suitable than me to replace you. I will temporarily replace you until the new Family Head is chosen."


    "Big Brother," Mo Xiuwen said somewhat angrily, "I know that you always wanted to be this Family Head, but right now, this Mo Family is going through a great calamity, so you shouldn''t say such a thing at this time. It''s better for you to first repel the He family and the Li family."


    Mo Xiuqi snorted: "Second brother, I''ll be direct and clear. If you don''t give me the Family Head''s seat, I won''t stop the He family and the Li family."


    These words thoroughly angered Mo Xiuwen. He slammed the table heavily: "Mo Xiuqi, don''t go overboard. Even when the Mo Family is in trouble, you still dare to use the safety of the Mo Family to threaten me? Do you know that once the Mo Family is captured, even you will die? Have you thought about the current situation? "


    Mo Xiuqi sneered but did not speak, the way he saw it, he did not think that the He and Li Families would be able to invade the Tianshan, so he was not worried at all, but at least the two families would bring danger to the Mo Family.


    This time, it was Mo Xiuwen who caused the trouble, why should I help him clean up the mess?


    If the He family and Li family could successfully suppress Mo Xiuwen''s power, it would not be a loss of a beautiful matter, and he himself would have the chance to fight for the position of Family Head.


    Mo Xiuwen was so angry that he wanted to make a move, he never expected that Mo Xiuqi would not care about his family''s fate and had to snatch the position of Family Head. If not for Mo Xiuqi''s help, this time, the Mo Family would definitely be in danger, but he was truly furious at Mo Xiuqi for seizing this opportunity to snatch the position of Family Head. He did not say a word, and directly walked out of the hall, looking like he did not plan to give the position of Family Head to Mo Xiuqi.


    Mo Xiuqi stared coldly at Mo Xiuwen''s back. Since the other party did not plan to give him the position of the Family Head, he had no intention to help Mo Xiuwen.


    "Now that the guardian beast is dead, the Mo Family''s power is weakened by half. It seems that we can definitely eliminate the Mo Family this time around."


    Tianshan was a natural barrier to Mo Family, and Snow demon were the greatest threats here. Now that this Demon Emperor had been killed, there was no more danger for Tianshan.


    He Daotian laughed and said, "If we had known it would be so easy, we would have come to attack Mo Family a long time ago."


    Li Jie said with a solemn gaze: "We cannot be too careless, the people from Mo Family have not appeared yet, which means that they are still very confident."


    Just at this moment, one figure after another descended from the sky. The one leading them was Mo Xiuwen, and beside him was the Mo Family''s disciples who were represented by their devil senses.


    "He Daotian," Mo Xiuwen scolded sternly: "Although our family has its gaps, my Mo Family has never had any harm done to your He family, but you actually attacked our Mo Family, are you trying to completely clash with our Mo Family?"


    He Daotian said with a face of ridicule: "It''s you, Mo Family, that want to fall out with our He Family for an outsider. If you have to blame something, you can only blame yourself."


    In fact, even if there was no Di Chen, the He family would definitely attack the Mo Family. They only needed an excuse.


    Mo Xiuwen''s gaze fell on Li Jie again, and said angrily: "Our Mo Family has no enmity with your Li Family, why did you bring the Li Family to attack our Mo Family?"


    Li Jie teased: "Mo Xiuwen, I''m afraid you don''t even believe in this kind of self-deception, although our two families have no grievances with each other for the past few days, but I know that your Mo Family has always wanted to swallow our Li Family, rather than just sitting and waiting, I think it''s better to destroy your Mo Family first.


    It was just that the internal conflict in the Mo Family was too intense, Mo Xiuwen had never been able to consolidate the power of the Mo Family, so he did not have the time to annex the other families, but who would have thought that the Li Family would actually join hands with the He Family to make the first move.


    Both the He and Li Jie''s power were not weaker than the Mo Family. Now that the two families had allied together, Mo Xiuwen did not have the confidence to win this time.

 C248

    Mo Family stared closely at Li Jie and He Daotian, and could tell that these two families would not give up, so he did not say anymore, and with a point of his finger, he pointed at the two families, and the entire group of Mo Family immediately rushed over.


    The He and Li Families faced Mo Family at the same time. The three families clashed, and this time, Mo Family and She Family went all out, and Mo Family was in the midst of an internal conflict. How could she beat the two families?


    Mo Xiuwen summoned a Spirit Sword. This sword was called the Heavenly Snow Sword, it was inherited from the Mo Family, and belonged to the royal family. It was extremely powerful, with a slash of his sword, a gigantic crescent shaped Sword Qi shot over.


    He Daotian immediately opened his Shooting God Bow, pulling the bow to the point it was full of arcs, using his spirit energy to form a Spirit Sword and placing it on the bow, he shot out an arrow.


    The spirit arrow collided with the sword Qi and with a loud bang, the entire sky trembled. The sword Qi rippled out and those affected immediately turned into ashes.


    "Shooting God Bow," Mo Xiuwen said in a low voice. "Looks like your two families really did come prepared this time."


    He Daotian sneered: "Mo Xiuwen, originally, our He family did not want to attack your Mo Family, but you guys aren''t even willing to hand over an outsider. I don''t know how important he is to you guys, but you guys shouldn''t fight with your lives on the line for him, right?


    At the same time, Mo Xin and Li Jie also clashed against each other, but Mo Xin''s realm was lower than Li Jie''s, so it was obvious that he was not Li Jie''s opponent.


    Actually, of all the Mo Family, only Mo Xiuqi was able to fight with He Daotian. However, because Mo Xiuqi wanted to seize the position of Family Head, he refused to fight.


    A few minutes later, Mo Family was at a disadvantage, with numerous casualties.


    Just at that moment, Mo Xiuwen suddenly saw Mo Xiuqi leading his supporters and standing far away, but not participating in the battle, he anxiously shouted out: "Mo Xiuqi, what are you still standing there for, the He and Li Families have already been killed, do you want to watch our Mo Family be destroyed?"


    Mo Xiuqi scoffed, "Mo Xiuwen, the reason why our Mo Family met with such a calamity is all your fault, but you actually have the nerve to occupy the position of Family Head and refuse to admit it.


    "Big brother, don''t go overboard. I know you want to fight for the position of the Family Head, but this is an internal matter of our Mo Family. Could it be that you want to steal the position of the Family Head?


    Mo Xiuqi sneered without saying a word. It could be seen that if Mo Xiuwen did not give him the position of the Family Head, he would not deal with these two families.


    "Mo Xiuqi, if you help us kill Mo Xiuwen, we can recognize your Family Head identity, what do you think?"


    He Daotian saw through Mo Xiuqi''s thoughts and immediately suggested.


    In reality, for the time being, although the He family and the Li family held the upper hand, He Daotian and Li Jie were not confident that they could kill Mo Xiuwen.


    Mo Xiuqi didn''t think that He Daotian would say such a thing. He raised his brows and said: "Do you think I would believe you two? Even though I want to obtain the position of the Family Head, I won''t be stupid enough to cooperate with you two."


    Li Jie immediately said: "I can swear on my blood, that way you can finally trust us, right?"


    A blood oath was a very malicious oath. Once one was sworn, no one was allowed to break it. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.


    Mo Xiuqi revealed hesitation when he heard this, and his gaze landed on Mo Xiuwen. If Mo Xiuwen was to take the initiative to give up the position of Family Head, it would be difficult, unless he was the one taking it.


    When Mo Xiuwen saw Mo Xiuqi''s expression, his expression changed. He actually wanted to kill him?


    "Mo Xiuqi, you can''t do this," Mo Xin saw through Mo Xiuqi''s intentions and shouted angrily.


    Mo Xiuqi was startled, then he suddenly took a step forward, quickly rushing to the front of Mo Xin, and pulled out a Spirit Sword and pierced it into Mo Xin''s body.


    "Big brother, you ¡­" "He really wants to kill me?" Mo Xin couldn''t believe his eyes.


    Mo Xiuqi laughed: "Ninth Brother, you can''t blame me. If you had to blame something, you should blame yourself following Second Brother, if not, I wouldn''t have killed you."


    Mo Xin lay in a pool of blood, staring at Mo Xiuqi with his eyes wide open, still in disbelief.


    "Mo Xiuqi," Mo Xiuwen also did not expect this scene, and rushed towards Mo Xiuqi excitedly. However, he had forgotten that his opponent at this moment was He Daotian.


    "You''re courting death," He Daotian said as he released his Spirit Bow, causing the arrow to turn into a rainbow beam of light that shot towards Mo Xiuwen.


    Mo Xiuwen immediately summoned his Spirit Sword to block the arrow, causing the spirit arrow to dissipate with a bang, but Mo Xiuwen was also blown away by the impact, smashing heavily onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    At the same time, a large majority of Mo Family''s people were killed, with Mo Xiuqi''s participation, the battle was completely blown away, but Mo Xiuwen could only watch as the Mo Family''s people were killed. He originally thought that the Mo Family would be able to hold off the He family and the Li family, but who knew that Mo Xiuqi would suddenly betray them?


    "Family Head, quickly go," Just then, an elder rushed over and took Mo Xiuwen away.


    Everyone retreated as they fought, but the He and Mo Family were unstoppable as they killed all the people from Mo Family.


    He Daotian continued to shoot out God Slaying Bows. With each shot, he was able to kill tens of people, causing Mo Family to die more and more. Very quickly, he was unable to endure the attacks from the He, Li, and Mo Xiuqi.


    Mo Xiuwen could only watch as the people from Mo Family were killed one by one.


    "Mo Xiuwen, do you still want to run?" He Daotian laughed as he looked at Mo Xiuwen, who was surrounded by the crowd, his face pale white, not to mention fighting, he did not even have the strength to stand up.


    Mo Xiuqi also smiled and said: "Second brother, I told you to give me the Family Head''s seat earlier because you didn''t want to listen. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have been reduced to such a state right now.


    Mo Xiuwen did not hate He Daotian and Li Jie, but he was very angry at Mo Xiuqi. They were both from the Mo Family, and he actually betrayed them for the sake of becoming the Family Head?


    Li Jie said seriously: "What are you still standing there for, first kill this Mo Xiuwen, so as to not cause too much trouble."


    Mo Xiuqi immediately stopped him: "Wait, he can''t me for now. If I want to inherit the position of Family Head, it will be very troublesome.


    He Daotian and Li Jie frowned at the same time, both of them wanted to kill Mo Xiuwen this time, but if they let Mo Xiuwen go, there would be consequences.


    However, the two of them could not easily offend Mo Xiuqi, although Mo Xiuqi had helped them defeat Mo Xiuwen''s man, Mo Xiuqi''s power was still strong, if they were to fight with Mo Xiuqi, everyone would be at a disadvantage.


    Seeing that the two of them were silent, Mo Xiuqi frowned, and said coldly: "What, do you want to make a move against me?"


    When the people of Mo Family heard these words, they immediately looked coldly at He Daotian and Li Jie, as if they would attack at any moment.


    "But we''ve finally arrived at this place. You can''t possibly think that we''ll just leave like this, right?"


    Li Jie stared at Mo Xiuqi and laughed: "Just now, I swore a blood oath not to kill you and let you inherit the position of Family Head.


    How could Mo Xiuqi not understand the meaning of Li Jie''s words? The reason why the Li family attacked Mo Family was because they coveted the Tianshan, but from the looks of it, they did not want to take him, and did not want to leave either.


    "If you want silver taels, medicinal pills, cultivation techniques, all of them are fine." Of course, Mo Xiuqi knew that if he was not given some benefits, he would not leave. He thought for a moment and said: "Even if you help me inherit the position of the Family Head this time, since I have received your help, I will naturally have to give you some rewards. You can be at ease, my Mo Family will definitely give you the pills, cultivation techniques, and silvers that you have to prepare.


    Li Jie laughed when he heard this. He knew that Mo Xiuqi did not want to offend both families at the same time, so the pills he gave this time were definitely not small.


    He Daotian laughed: "Since that''s the case, then I will wait for your big fight. Let''s go."


    The He and Mo Family did not stay any longer and brought everyone away.


    At the foot of the mountain.


    Li Jie frowned: "It was so difficult for us to get into Tianshan, so why are we leaving like this. Aren''t we letting Mo Xiuqi off too easily?"


    He Daotian said in a serious tone: "Don''t underestimate He Daotian, although we have defeated Mo Xiuwen, but in reality, most of the people in the Mo Family still support Mo Xiuqi, and the power of the Mo Family is still very strong. Just look at Mo Xiuqi''s confidence, it means that if we really fight, we will be at a disadvantage."


    Li Jie was not satisfied: "But this time, our two families have suffered quite a bit. Do you think this Mo Xiuqi will really keep his promise?"


    He Daotian laughed: "Him helping us defeat Mo Xiuwen is equivalent to betraying the Mo Family, I believe that he will definitely be met with many objections to inheriting the position of the Family Head, at a time like this, he definitely wouldn''t want to become enemies with our two families. If my thoughts are right, he will definitely make us satisfied, but when the Mo Family regains his anger, he will definitely come back to settle the score with us."


    Li Jie laughed easily, he only wanted Mo Xiuqi to keep his promise this time, as for what Mo Family will do in the future, he did not care.


    At the same time.


    Mo Xiuqi stared coldly at the backs of Li Jie and He Daotian. Honestly speaking, the two of them would be leaving him and he would be relieved. He was really afraid that the two families would not give up just now.


    "Big Brother," said Mo Hong, "Could it be that you''ve really defeated them by giving them silvers and pills?"


    Mo Xiuqi nodded seriously: "That''s right, I will send them off, and the quantity cannot be small. After all, I do not wish to become enemies with these two families, but when I, Mo Xiuqi, catch my breath, I will not let them off."


    Although He Daotian and Li Jie had helped Mo Xiuqi this time, the problem was that he was still a member of the Mo Family.


    Mo Family and these two families were originally incompatible, when Mo Family gets her breath, he would definitely exterminate them. Of course, this would still take some time.


    Mo Xiuqi didn''t think anymore. He playfully looked at Mo Xiuwen, grabbed him up, and dragged him back to Mo Family. Currently, there was still a portion of people from Mo Family who were supporting Mo Xiuwen.

 C249

    "Di Chen..." Mo Yuner rushed into Di Chen''s room, interrupting his cultivation, and anxiously said: "Not good, the He family and the Li family are attacking our Mo Family at the same time."


    "So fast?" Di Chen was startled, how would he not know why the He Family attacked Mo Family? He just did not expect the He Family to retaliate so quickly, and anxiously asked: "What''s the situation now?"


    Mo Yuner said with a face full of worry: "My uncle betrayed the Mo Family, my father was captured, and uncle is currently suppressing my father''s return, he probably won''t let us off once he returns, hurry up and leave this place with me."


    Di Chen''s expression changed, he had originally thought that it would be impossible for his clan to invade the Mo Family, but who would have thought that Mo Xiuqi would betray them?


    Di Chen immediately pulled Jie Long and said: "Come with me."


    The three of them rushed out of the room. Di Chen first went to Zi Yan''s room, then brought her to the back door of the Mo Family. At this time, Mo Feng and Mo Xun were already waiting at the back door.


    "Big Brother," Mo Feng asked, "What''s the situation now?"


    Mo Feng''s eyes dimmed: "Father has been captured, Ninth Uncle has already been killed by Eldest Uncle, and they are currently on their way back here."


    Mo Yuner seemed to be much stronger than before. It seemed that she had long known about this matter, and she was trying her best to hold back her tears.


    Di Chen said anxiously, "Now is not the time to talk about this, let''s quickly leave this place."


    Mo Yuner said: "We can''t leave Tianshan''s front. We''ll leave from the side."


    There were a few paths leading down the mountain, the one in front was the safest. In fact, it was very dangerous to go by the small paths, not only would there be a large number of Snow demon, but it would also easily cause an avalanche. Thus, under normal circumstances, the people of the Mo Family would not walk these paths.


    Not long after they walked down the mountain, Jie Wei suddenly stopped. She grabbed onto Di Chen and did not let him continue walking.


    Di Chen asked with doubt: "What''s wrong?"


    Jie Long looked at the road in front of him and whispered, "Dangerous."


    Hearing this, everyone was startled, Mo Yuner looked down the mountain. Other than a few Snow demon s, she did not sense any danger, so she did not know why Jie Qian said that.


    Di Chen recalled that Jie Qian was a Witch. She had a certain level of foresight and could feel the danger on this road. She said that this road must be dangerous for her safety.


    "Senior Sister Yun''er," Di Chen asked, "Is there any other way?"


    Mo Yuner saw that Di Chen seemed to really believe in Jie Wei, she thought for a bit and pointed to another path: "You can leave from here, but this road is relatively safer, there might be an ambush."


    However, no matter where they left, they would always say that it was dangerous. In the end, Di Chen asked Jie Long to choose a path, and Jie Long pointed towards the east, which Jie Wei had previously said was dangerous, but Jie Long still chose to leave from here, which meant that it was the least dangerous, and the few of them immediately went down the mountain from here.


    An hour later, Jie Long stopped once more. She pulled Di Chen and said the two words of danger.


    Di Chen could faintly feel a strong aura here, and shouted as he stared ahead: "Who is it, don''t hide your face, come out."


    Just then, the Demon Abyss walked out with a few people, and many experts followed behind him.


    "Seventh Sister, Sixth Brother, Xun Er, where do you want to go? Why didn''t you inform Big Brother?"


    The Demon Abyss looked at everyone and teasingly said, "Furthermore, you are actually walking on such a dangerous road. Could it be that there is something shameful?"


    Mo Feng forced himself to stay calm and said: "We have some matters that we need to attend to and need to leave the Tianshan. This road may be dangerous, but quickly, big brother, what are you doing here?"


    The Demon Abyss laughed, "My father has some matters to announce, so he''s preparing to hold a family meeting. I''m here to invite you back."


    Mo Yuner said seriously: "We are very anxious, we cannot go back for the time being, and the clan does not need us juniors to attend, Big Brother, go back and tell Big Uncle that we will apologize when we return."


    As she spoke, she prepared to lead the group around the Demon Abyss and leave.


    The Demon Abyss snapped its fingers, and at this time, a few Mo Family people blocked Mo Yuner''s path.


    Mo Yuner said angrily: "Big Brother, what exactly do you want?"


    The Demon Abyss chuckled, "I told you that you can''t leave this place temporarily."


    Then he looked at a person and said, "Bring them back."


    That was a Martial King Realm Ranker. He walked towards Mo Yuner and the others, wanting to invite Mo Yuner to return.


    Just then, Mo Feng took a big stride forward, his boundless spirit energy fiercely smashing into the man''s body, directly knocking him over, and the man died on the spot.


    "You''re courting death," Demon Abyss'' body swayed forward as he smashed his fist towards Mo Feng.


    Mo Feng also rushed to face the Demon Abyss with a fist strike. As the two fists collided, Mo Feng was knocked back a few steps, but the Demon Abyss didn''t move an inch. He was at the fifth stage of the Martial King realm, while Mo Feng was only at the fourth stage of the Martial King realm.


    Mo Yuner hurriedly supported Mo Feng. "Sixth Brother, are you alright?"


    Mo Feng shouted, "All of you, quickly leave this place. I will be the one to stop this Demon Abyss."


    "But ¡­" Mo Yuner didn''t want to do it. How could Mo Feng alone defend against so many people from the Demon Abyss?


    At the same time, he tapped his forehead. Black figures rushed out from between his brows one after another, these black figures taking the shape of a human. These black figures were like Mo Feng''s avatars, they were also at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm.


    Mo Yuner clenched her teeth, and said that she would be careful before she brought everyone else and left.


    "Don''t even think about escaping, kill them all," the Demon Abyss roared, and then the people of Mo Family chased after Mo Yuner and the others.


    Although Mo Feng''s martial soul consumed a lot of spirit energy, it was exceptionally strong and evil. Furthermore, the majority of the people the Demon Abyss brought along this time were Martial King experts, so they were unable to break through the restraints of the black figures in a short period of time. They could only watch Mo Yuner and the rest leave.


    After half an hour, Mo Yuner and the rest finally reached the bottom of the mountain.


    Mo Xun looked at the direction behind him with worry: "I wonder how Sixth Brother is doing now."


    The Demon Abyss and Mo Feng had always been at odds with each other. After all, the two of them were seeded participants in the Family Head, and the Demon Abyss would definitely use this chance to kill Mo Feng.


    Di Chen said: "Now is not the time to think about this, this is still the territory of your Mo Family, let us leave first."


    Mo Yuner said in a disappointed voice, "I believe that not only the Mo Family, but the He family and Li family are also after us. Where else can we go?"


    Di Chen originally wanted to say that he would be returning to the Famous Sword Academy, but going back like this would bring some trouble to the Famous Sword Academy, and this place was too far away from the Famous Sword Academy, he was afraid that he would be caught before he could even reach the Famous Sword Academy.


    Di Chen had no other choice now, so he immediately took Mo Yuner, Jie Long and Zi Yan and ran in a random direction. Fortunately, no one from the Mo Family had caught up to them along the way, so they eventually left the vicinity of the Tianshan and arrived at the crystal city.


    Di Chen found an inn, prepared a large room, and discovered that it was simply too dangerous to separate the rooms.


    Everyone recovered their elemental energy before calming down to analyze the situation.


    "Crystal City is still too close to the Tianshan. The He family and the Li family will often send people here, we cannot stay too long."


    Mo Yuner was the strongest here, she was abnormally calm as she said, "Rest for the night, we''ll leave again tomorrow."


    The more Mo Xun thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She said furiously: "Uncle, this is simply too much. Seventh Sister, what should we do?"


    Mo Yuner smiled as she comforted: "Don''t worry, I will definitely think of a way to take the life of Mo Family to avenge Ninth Uncle."


    However, Mo Yuner was very clear that it was impossible with her strength, and Mo Family was originally a Devil Dao Clan, so it was impossible for her to find help.


    How could she not know that Mo Yuner was just trying to console her?


    Di Chen suddenly thought about the Heaven Gate that he had joined before, and how these people were all Martial Saint, if it was them, they could easily snatch back the Mo Family, but the problem was that although Di Chen was also a member of the Heaven Gate, he did not know how to contact the rest of the Heaven Gate. Furthermore, these people would not help Di Chen, and other than the Heaven Gate, they would not help Yu Xuanji.


    "Hmm?" At this time, Mo Yuner suddenly stood up, and looked towards the door coldly.


    Di Chen also felt a strong aura, he pulled Jie Wei and Zi Yan behind him.


    Just then, a man and a woman walked in. The man was Ruo Yun, and the woman was actually You Qin.


    "It''s you two," Di Chen said as he saw the two of them in shock.


    Mo Yuner frowned: "Di Chen, who are they?"


    Di Chen said warily: "They are people who want to kill me. These people are very dangerous."


    Hearing that, Mo Yuner also became alert, she looked at Ruo Yun, Ruo Yun was an expert in Martial Monarch Level, his cultivation was not lower than Mo Yuner, he was the most dangerous person, luckily Mo Yuner had the confidence to deal with him.


    "How did you find me?" asked, being discovered by the people of the Nether Moon Sect was much more dangerous than being chased by the people of the Mo Family.


    You Qin said calmly: "We have been sending people to guard the crystal city the entire time, we noticed it the moment you arrived. Lang Chen, leave with us, don''t force us to take action."


    Di Chen thought about how Ning Fu had hardened her heart to kill him, even if Yu Xuanji had said that if he wanted to kill her, he could still take her name. However, Di Chen was not confident, and shook his head and refused.


    "You don''t have a choice," You Qin said seriously. "Don''t force us to attack.


    Lang Chen hesitated. He wasn''t actually worried about himself, but the problem was that Mo Xun, Zi Yan, and Jie Long were weaker than them, and if they really fought, they would definitely be in danger. Di Chen was really afraid of affecting them.

 C250

    Mo Yuner could tell that You Qin was hostile to Di Chen and immediately blocked him: "Di Chen, don''t leave with them."


    Ruo Yun smiled and said: "You are a fourth stage Martial King and I am a fifth stage Martial King. Perhaps you can fight with me, but you know that if we fight, we might accidentally injure the others.


    Mo Yuner was startled, she had nothing to say, he could protect herself, but she could not guarantee that the others would be alright.


    Zi Yan saw that he had implicated Di Chen again, and said resolutely: "Di Chen, you must not leave this place with them, do not bother about us."


    Mo Xun also said, "We can take good care of ourselves."


    However, the battle of the two Martial King caused even Di Chen to not have the confidence to protect himself, so how could Mo Xun and the others possibly be alright?


    Furthermore, since You Qin was here, she must have come prepared. He believed that Ruo Yun was definitely not the only one who had brought someone with him, so there was no need to force a fight.


    "Alright," Di Chen nodded after thinking for a while, and said: "I will leave with you."


    Hearing that, Zi Yan''s face changed, and anxiously said: "Di Chen, you cannot do this."


    Mo Yuner and Mo Xun also advised Di Chen. Jie Long also immediately stopped Di Chen, it seemed like he didn''t want him to leave.


    Di Chen thought that although he would not necessarily get into trouble when he entered the Nether Moon Sect this time, he could only hope that Ning Fu would let him off this once on Yu Xuanji''s account.


    "I''m fine, just wait for me here," Di Chen said with a smile. Then, he looked at You Qin and said, "Let''s go."


    You Qin laughed, she immediately turned and left the room, and Di Chen followed him, but Mo Yuner could only watch with her eyes, she knew that Di Chen had never admitted defeat, but now that Di Chen had no intention to fight, she could guess that Di Chen did not believe that it was possible for him to survive this battle.


    After exiting the room, You Qin took out the Nether Moon Sect''s medallion, and Di Chen followed You Qin in.


    Many people were stunned when they saw Di Chen. Earlier, Di Chen was treated as a soldier in Nether Moon Sect, then for some reason, Ning Fu actually wanted to kill Di Chen. Even until today, they still did not understand the reason behind it.


    You Qin brought Di Chen in the direction of the pavilion at the center of the lake, and met him on the way.


    When You Xiang saw You Qin return with Di Chen, she was also startled. She anxiously ran over and said: "Elder sister, why did you bring Di Chen here? It''s not like you don''t know how dangerous it is to bring him back."


    Although Ning Fu ordered the people of the Nether Moon Sect to kill Di Chen, the problem was that You Xiang really did not want to do it, hence, he was somewhat anxious when he saw Di Chen being brought back here.


    You Qin laughed bitterly: "Sect Leader ordered me to bring him back, I have no other choice, I will take her to see Sect Leader first."


    When she saw Di Chen in the Crystal City, many people in the Nether Moon Sect knew about him, so how could she possibly ignore him?


    A dozen or so minutes later, Di Chen brought Di Chen to the Heart Pavilion, and now, Ning Fu was sitting in the pavilion and reading books as usual. When Di Chen saw her, he could not help but sigh bitterly, thinking that maybe this time, it would be over.


    Yu Xuanji, who was originally reading a book, seemed to have felt Di Chen''s aura from a distance. She put down the book and looked coldly at Di Chen, as if he couldn''t resist the urge to kill Di Chen.


    You Qin looked at Di Chen and said, she had never understood why Ning Fu suddenly hated Di Chen so much, whether or not he would die would all be up to him.


    You Qin gave Di Chen a deep glance, and in the end, left the center of the lake.


    Di Chen walked in front of Ning Fu and calmly looked at her. Ning Fu also coldly stared at Di Chen and did not say a word.


    "Sister Ning Fu ¡­" Di Chen wanted to say something.


    "Shut your mouth," Ning Fu berated. "I am a Sect Leader of the Nether Moon Sect, who allowed you to call me that?"


    Di Chen laughed bitterly, thinking that even if Ning Fu had let her shout like that, he still did not know what to say after being scolded by Ning Fu like that.


    Ning Fu became more and more agitated as soon as she thought of the fact that Di Chen had to leave this place at all costs, and his spirit energy began to gush out.


    Ning Fu stared at Di Chen for a long time before saying: "Do you still remember what I said before? I said that when I see you again, I will definitely kill you with my own hands."


    Di Chen subconsciously took a step back, and said: "We have no enmity and no grievances. I personally did not do anything to let you down, so why must you kill me?"


    Ning Fu said angrily: "I treat you so well, and helped you to break through the Scholar''s Realm, but you want to leave this place? Don''t tell me you''re not betraying me?"


    Di Chen had heard Yu Xuanji talk about a few things before. She had suffered from a bit of excitement before, and his mental state was unstable, so he would easily be agitated when things go wrong. He might have been betrayed by others, but she did not specifically mention anything.


    Di Chen didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. He retorted: "I just left for a short period of time, how could I betray you? The people from your Nether Moon Sect should all leave.


    If the people of the Nether Moon Sect could leave here, then why did it mean that he had betrayed them?


    Di Chen was so angry that he was confused.


    Ning Fu shouted excitedly: "I don''t care what happens to other people, since you did not ask my permission to leave this place, you will betray me, and those who betray me will all die."


    Ning Fu was so excited that she could not control herself. She suddenly rushed towards Di Chen and summoned her Spirit Sword to kill him.


    Di Chen''s face changed, the current Ning Fu had already lost her mind, she was afraid that she would actually kill him, he was so scared that he did not know how to dodge.


    Ning Fu''s Spirit Sword stopped in front of Di Chen. It was just a few inches away from landing, just a bit more and it would have been able to kill Di Chen.


    Di Chen still had a face full of lingering fear as he panted heavily while looking at the Spirit Sword. In the end, Ning Fu still couldn''t bear to kill Di Chen.


    "Leave ¡­" In the end, Ning Fu still kept her Spirit Sword. She shot a glance over, and stopped looking at Di Chen.


    Di Chen gasped for breath, he looked deeply at Ning Fu, he still did not understand why she suddenly changed her mind.


    "Sister Ning Fu, take care," Di Chen said softly before he quietly left.


    Ning Fu shot a glance at Di Chen''s back, as though he was unwilling to part with her, and could even faintly tell that she was intending to let Di Chen return. However, he didn''t say anything in the end, and still left.


    Not long after leaving the center of the lake pavilion, he saw You Qin and You Xiang waiting in the distance. When the two saw Di Chen, they were first stunned for a moment, before their faces filled with pleasant surprise.


    You Xiang ran over and said excitedly: "Di Chen, are you alright? Why didn''t Sect Leader kill you?"


    Di Chen said snappily: "You really want me to die, don''t you?"


    You Xiang stuck out her tongue, then said with a face full of doubt: "Sect Leader was very angry before, and always wanted us to find you. She said that she would kill you with her own hands, but why didn''t she do it?


    Ning Fu had always been a gentle lady, but You Xiang had never been so angry, she could imagine how miserable Di Chen''s ending would be after being captured, but in the end, Ning Fu did not do anything, which made You Xiang feel weird, since when was Ning Fu so capricious?


    Di Chen said with a face of doubt: "I also don''t know why she let me go."


    You Qin was suspicious again: You were on good terms with Sect Leader previously, and she even brought you to her room, why did she suddenly want to kill you? She said that you betrayed her, what did you do?


    Di Chen smiled bitterly as he shook his head. Until now, he still did not know why Ning Fu wanted to kill him.


    You Qin sighed: "Forget it, it''s a good thing that Sect Leader didn''t kill you, there''s no need to continue asking, you should quickly leave this place, if Sect Leader changes his mind, things won''t be good."


    Di Chen did not dare stay for long, as for the identity of the successor of the Eternal Gate, he did not plan to tell Ning Fu, the less people knew, the better.


    Weng! *


    Right at this moment, the air suddenly trembled, the entire Nether Moon Sect was submerged in a kind of violent fluctuation.


    "This is?" You Qin looked into the distance in shock.


    Just then, Ruo Yun walked over and shouted anxiously: "Not good, Huai Yu has brought people into our Nether Moon Sect."


    You Qin said in shock: "How is that possible, how does Huai Yu know where our Nether Moon are?"


    The location of the Nether Moon Sect was very hidden, even if the disciples of the sects could not find out the specifics, they had a special method to enter the Nether Moon Sect, but how could Huai Yu know about it?


    You Qin did not think too much and quickly followed Ruo Yun to the entrance of the Nether Moon Sect. Without You Qin''s help, they were unable to leave.


    When they arrived at the entrance of the Nether Moon Sect, they saw Huai Yu leading a group of people and standing at the entrance. Behind him were quite a few Martial Saint level experts, and the most eye-catching one was a middle-aged man dressed in black. This man''s name was Hong Jun, and was the last Sect Leader of the Five Poisons Sect.


    Ning Fu also brought a group of people to guard the door, since the difference in strength between the two sides was not that big.


    "Hong Jun." When Ning Fu saw him, she was slightly surprised for a moment before she squinted her eyes and said, "You should be unable to leave your own sect like me.


    The top ten ancient sects had been destroyed, and the last generation of Sect Leader s were sealed within the sects, unable to come out. For example, Ning Fu was unable to leave the Nether Moon Sect, but now Hong Jun came here?


    Hong Jun smiled and said: "You don''t need to know this; all you need to know is that I''m here."


    Ning Fu asked again, "Then how did you find the entrance of our Nether Moon Sect?"


    The location of the Nether Moon Sect was very hidden, and with the passing of time, the geography of the Martial Region Continent had undergone a tremendous change. Furthermore, Ning Fu had sealed the entrance, so logically speaking, it would not be discovered.


    Hong Jun laughed and said: "Even though your Nether Moon Sect is hidden, it''s not difficult to find it. Ning Fu, why don''t we talk about this nonsense.


    How could Ning Fu not know what Hong Jun wanted? She sneered: "Your Sect Leader Medallion was lost to us by you. Do you think I would give it back to you?"


    Not only did the Sect Leader Token contain a technique, it was also the symbol of a sect. In truth, obtaining the Sect Leader Token was equivalent to obtaining a sect, how could Ning Fu give it back?

 C251

    "I know you won''t return it obediently. I also don''t intend for you to return it just like that."


    Hong Jun laughed and said: "That''s why I have a suggestion. Since you guys previously stole our Five Poison Sect''s Sect Leader''s medallion through a challenge, then let''s compete again this time."


    Ning Fu ridiculed: "You have already lost your Sect Leader''s medallion, what right do we have to compete with you?"


    Hong Jun flipped her hand, and an order badge appeared in her hand, on it wrote a name.


    "The Sect Leader''s medallion of Zen religion?" Ning Fu''s face was filled with surprise, this Zen Sect was actually one of the top ten ancient sects, but she did not expect that the Sect Leader''s medallion would actually fall into Hong Jun''s hands.


    Di Chen had a rough understanding of the top ten sects, he knew that this was a cult, with countless experts in the sect, it was not considered weak in the ancient sects, but he never expected that the buddhist school would have its orders stolen.


    Ning Fu was silent for a moment before asking, "Since the medallion is in your hands, does that mean you have already eliminated the people from the Zen Sect?"


    Hong Jun chuckled lightly: "You are right, the Buddhist Sect did not find a suitable successor, and I have levelled up to discover the position of the Buddhist Sect, so I have already exterminated the Buddhist Sect. I will use this medallion of the Buddhist Sect to compete with you, if you win this medallion, then if we win the Sect Leader medallion of your Nether Moon Sect, then it will belong to us."


    If it was any other thing, Ning Fu would not have made a move, but the Sect Leader badge was too attractive to her.


    "Alright," Ning Fu agreed without hesitation. "How do you want to compete?"


    Hong Jun looked at Huai Yu, and Huai Yu walked out. Hong Jun smiled: "We have long left the history stage, and since our two sects have chosen our successors, logically speaking, it should be our successors competing, what about it?"


    Previously, You Qin and Huai Yu had an arranged battle, but later on both sides would find someone else to fight in their place, but now, Hong Jun was requesting for the successor to fight instead.


    Ning Fu was currently in the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm and her cultivation was the same as You Qin''s, but the problem was that You Qin had just broken through to the ninth stage, so she wasn''t completely sure.


    At this time, Huai Yu laughed and said: "Before, I had arranged to fight with You Qin, but because of a few things, the two of us did not truly fight, which counted as my unfulfilled wish. Now that we finally have another chance to compete, You Qin, you shouldn''t be afraid, right?"


    You Qin was not sure, but she could not make a decision at the moment, so she looked at Ning Fu.


    Ning Fu seemed to still be unable to resist the enticement of the Sect Leader medallion, and after pondering for a while, she said: "Alright, I agree, You Qin, you fight against him."


    "Yes," You Qin bowed. There was no way she could disobey Ning Fu''s orders, so she still walked out.


    Huai Yu took a step forward, looked at You Qin and laughed: "I was regretful that I did not fight with you last time, this time, I hope that you do not retreat, and even more so, do not disappoint me."


    You Qin also did not speak, she tapped her forehead and a three-string zither floated out, with three strings on it, it was the weapon she used to fight Di Chen previously, and now she had cultivated it to a martial soul.


    You Qin lifted the first string and infused her elemental energy into it. Then, she gently let go of her finger and shot a wind blade several meters long at Huai Yu.


    "Is that all?" With a flip of his hand, a long spear materialized in Huai Yu''s hand. He leaped forward, and the long spear directly struck the wind blade, causing it to instantly dissipate without causing Huai Yu any damage.


    You Qin was not surprised that this move did not cause any damage. His little finger hooked onto the second zither string, and then, she released it once more. With a loud bang, a ten meters long red wind blade shot towards Huai Yu.


    "Not good," Huai Yu''s expression changed slightly as he quickly channeled his spirit energy. The long spear struck the red wind blade, and the wind blades dispersed once again. However, Huai Yu was also forced to retreat a few steps, and the spear also shattered.


    Huai Yu resisted the urge to vomit blood and said softly: "I didn''t expect your strength to be this strong, you''re really powerful, but unfortunately, this is far from enough."


    As he spoke, he pointed at his brow and another long spear flew out. This long spear was black in color and there was an ink character engraved on the handle.


    "Ink Spear?" Seeing the spear, Ning Fu''s face changed, and immediately shouted: "You Qin, don''t be careless."


    Every generation of Sect Leader would pass the Ink Spear to the next Sect Leader before they die, but Ning Fu did not expect Hong Jun to pass the Ink Spear martial soul to Huai Yu before he dies.


    You Qin quickly played the second zither, following which she flicked his wind blades one by one, they shot out densely, without any place to hide.


    Huai Yu did not seem to have any plans to dodge, the ink spear continued to point at the wind blades, and with each spear he easily pierced through the wind blades, however, he rushed towards You Qin like a hot knife through butter.


    You Qin saw that her wind blade could not defend against Huai Yu at all, and hurriedly strung the third zither string. The energy consumption of the third zither string was evidently very large, and You Qin had not even released it yet yet because her face had already turned completely pale. She paused for a moment, and when she released her fingers, a thirty meter long black wind blade shot towards Huai Yu.


    Huai Yu''s spear struck the black wind blade and with a boom, the spear tip clashed with the wind blade. Ripples spread out and those who were weaker were pushed away by the wind blade.


    It seemed that You Qin was not a match for Huai Yu''s attack in the end, and was finally flipped over. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Three-strings Zither''s light became dim, as though it could collapse at any time.


    Huai Yu was also forced to retreat a few steps. His face was pale, but his injuries were not as severe as You Qin''s.


    "Again?" Huai Yu laughed, he still had the strength to fight.


    You Qin clenched her teeth, supporting herself on the ground with her hands, but she could not get up at all, nor did she have the strength to fight.


    The strongest point of a Warrior was their martial soul s. If they could not defeat their opponent after using their martial soul, then there would be no need for them to fight.


    Seeing that, Hong Jun could not help but laugh complacently, she looked at Ning Fu and said: "You have lost, you can take out your Sect Leader Medallion now."


    Ning Fu also never thought that You Qin would lose, she stared at Hong Jun for a while and said coldly: "What a cunning fellow, so it turns out that he has been hiding his true strength, seemingly just breaking through the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, but from the true strength he has just displayed, I am afraid that he will soon break through the Martial Monarch Level."


    Hong Jun did not continue to hide the truth, and laughed: "That''s right, Huai Yu has already touched the edge of Martial Monarch Level, after a while I will let him go into closed door cultivation, and then I will have a complete breakthrough in Martial Monarch Level. In truth, he did not use his true strength just now, but this You Qin is very powerful, she only broke through of Martial King Realm, but she was only able to injure Huai Yu, which is already very impressive, but the most important thing is for you to lose, bring the order badge over."


    Ning Fu clenched her fist, if she handed over the Sect Leader Badge, it would be equivalent to handing over the authority of a sect, she was a little reluctant, but since this was a competition, she had no choice but to take out the Nether Moon Sect Badge and toss it over to Hong Jun.


    "Sect Leader ¡­" You Qin was slightly sorry, losing the Sect Leader badge was not a small matter.


    Hong Jun took the order badge and looked at it, then laughed: This Sect Leader Medallion is a symbol of a sect, with this medallion, I can control your Nether Moon Sect, Ning Fu, do you have to kneel down?


    It was said that all ten of the great sects'' Sect Leader tokens could fuse together with a Divine Equipment. Of course, this was only a legend, no one knew whether it was real or fake, but it was also because of the fierce battle between the ancient sects, and they were all trying their best to snatch each other''s Sect Leader tokens.


    Now, how much damage had Ning Fu suffered from losing the Sect Leader Token?


    Ning Fu looked at Hong Jun coldly and said, "Don''t forget, the Sect Leader Medallion of your Five Poisons Sect is still in my hand."


    Hong Jun laughed: "If we hadn''t lost to you all back then, how would I have found the position of your Nether Moon Sect?"


    Hearing that, Ning Fu was startled, she immediately took out the Five Poisons Sect''s Sect Leader Medallion, she could faintly feel the Qi undulations from the medallion, which meant that Hong Jun had set up an array formation inside, her spirit energy entering, the medallion flashed, and then the array formation was broken.


    "What a cunning person," Ning Fu angrily glared at Hong Jun.


    Di Chen, who was standing far away from them, was also surprised when he heard this.


    Di Chen thought that Jie Wei had also used his full strength at that time, and it didn''t seem like he was going easy on her. This meant that Yue Yang had intentionally found a seemingly strong witch, but they knew that they couldn''t win against her.


    Actually, even Di Chen could understand the reason why this Huai Yu was so much stronger than Jie Long. He could have fought on his own, but he didn''t, so Di Chen should have already guessed that there was a trick to it.


    "Even if you know the location of our Nether Moon Sect, so what? No matter what, the Sect Leader Medallion of your Five Poisons Sect is still with me."


    Ning Fu said seriously: "Even though you have won the medallion from our Nether Moon Sect, we will not be at a disadvantage."


    In fact, as long as there was one Sect Leader badge, Ning Fu would not lose. After all, ten tokens were needed to create the God Equipment.


    Hong Jun said playfully: "Do you think I will give you the real order badge?"


    With that said, he took out another order badge. The order badge was exactly the same as the one in Ning Fu''s hand, and the words'' Five Poisons'' were carved on it.


    Ning Fu was slightly stunned, and said in disbelief: "But I found your Five Poisons Sect''s Poison Dragon Palm within this medallion earlier, so I am certain that that Poison Dragon Palm is real."


    Every single sect''s most powerful cultivation technique was hidden inside the Sect Leader medallion, and the Poison Dragon Palm that Ning Fu took out from the medallion earlier should be real, so the medallion should be real as well.


    Hong Jun laughed: That''s right, the Poison Dragon Palm is indeed real, I was the one who placed it inside, if you don''t do this, how can you believe that the badge is real?


    "You ¡­" Only now did Ning Fu know that she had been tricked, and this was also her fault for being too careless at the time, thinking that the token was real the moment she saw the Poison Dragon''s Palm.


    Hong Jun laughed, since she had taken out the Nether Moon Sect''s badge, he would not stay, and said to the group: We have reached our goal, let''s go.

 C252

    "Wait ¡­" Ruo Yun shouted in anger: "You barged into our Nether Moon Sect, don''t tell me you want to leave like this?"


    Back then, when Di Chen had defeated Jie Yuan, Huai Yu did not plan to hand over his Sect Leader''s Medallion, thus, Ruo Yun fought with him and the other party lost miserably, thus Huai Yu obediently gave up his medallion. Now that he thought about it, it seemed strange that they would lose, maybe it was an act, but he could not bear it.


    "What, you still want to stop us?" At this moment, Ji You walked out and teasingly said, "If you''re not convinced, we can fight."


    Previously, when Huai Yu refused to hand over the order badge, Ruo Yun had fought with Ji You.


    Ruo Yun did not expect that Ji You would come out so easily. He thought to himself, it looks like he really did conserve his strength back then as he said in a low voice, "Could it be that I''m afraid of you?"


    After speaking, he charged straight towards Ji You.


    "Come back ¡­" Ning Fu shouted, but Ruo Yun was too rash. It was too late for him to stop his.


    Ruo Yun rushed to the front of Ji You, released a majestic burst of elemental energy from his body, and ruthlessly smacked towards Ji You with a palm.


    Ji You laughed as he took a step forward, and violent elemental energy surged into his palm as he threw himself toward Ruo Yun. His fist and palm collided, and with a bang, Ruo Yun only felt a huge force enter into his body as his entire body was sent flying. As he tumbled on the ground, one of his arms was broken.


    Jing Lan quickly helped Ruo Yun up, she really did not think that Ruo Yun would be able to defeat him in one move. Seems like she was only pretending when Yu Xue was defeated by him.


    "Did you really think you were my match after giving up last time?"


    Ji You had a mocking expression on his face. It was clear that he did not use too much strength in his earlier palm strike; otherwise, he could have easily killed Ruo Yun.


    Although Ruo Yun was not convinced, he knew that he was not Ji You''s match.


    Hong Jun said in a playful tone: "Ning Fu, I advise you to properly advise your Nether Moon Sect''s people, you know the outcome of our fight, if you still want to take back the order badge, you can snatch another piece to fight with us, I am waiting for you, let''s go."


    With that, he led the crowd away.


    "Sect Leader, we can''t let them snatch the badge away, let''s do it."


    "That''s right, if they were to snatch them away to our Nether Moon Sect, then we would be finished. Rather than doing this, it would be better to fight them to the death."


    The crowd didn''t want to see their tokens stolen as they shouted in excitement.


    Ning Fu was also not willing to give up, but she had no choice, without the Sect Leader Token, Hong Jun would not agree to fight with him, and if she wanted to snatch it forcefully, she had no confidence either. From Ji You''s performance just now, she could see that the opponent''s strength was not weaker than Nether Moon Sect.


    Losing the Sect Leader Medallion was a huge blow to Ning Fu, but this time, she had no other choice. She could only watch as Hong Jun left.


    "Wait ¡­" However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.


    Hearing this voice, everyone was startled, and curiously looked over, and saw that it was Di Chen.


    Ning Fu was startled, but she was still a little angry when she saw Di Chen. Why did he not leave yet, but after thinking about it, he could understand, something happened to the Nether Moon Sect, and he did not have the chance to leave either.


    Hong Jun looked at Di Chen and raised his eyebrow: Who are you?


    "It''s you," Huai Yu recognized Di Chen immediately. He then looked at him and explained, "Sect Leader, he was the one who replaced us and ''defeated'' us earlier."


    When he said the word defeat, Huai Yu could not help but taunt, he had never intended to win before.


    Hong Jun exclaimed, and looked at Di Chen playfully: "What, you are only at Martial King Realm, could it be that you want to snatch our order badge from us?"


    Di Chen glanced at Ning Fu, and Ning Fu glanced at him, as if he did not even want to look at Di Chen. Di Chen then sighed and looked at Hong Jun: "Let''s have a match, how about we bet on your Sect Leader medallion?"


    Hearing these words, the people from the Five Poisons Sect burst out into laughter.


    Hong Jun taunted: This Sect Leader medallion is not an ordinary thing, you wanted us to take out this medallion as a wager, do you have the qualifications to do so, do you think you can use silver as a wager?


    Hong Jun subconsciously thought that Di Chen wanted to use this kind of thing to gamble, but the Sect Leader Badge was not ordinary, it could not be bought with money, no matter how much silver he had, it would be useless. Hong Jun did not think that Di Chen could take out something better, Di Chen''s words were too funny for Hong Jun.


    Of course, Di Chen knew that they would not care about ordinary things. He thought for a moment and took out a black order badge, on it was the word "Eternal" written on it.


    Hong Jun cried out in shock. Amongst the ancient top ten sects, the Eternal Gate was the strongest and most mysterious. Currently, the top ten sects had been born one after another, but there was no news of the Eternal Gate for a while.


    "This guy is actually the successor to the Eternal Gate?"


    Everyone looked at Di Chen in shock. At this moment, Di Chen had become the focus of the audience.


    You Qin''s face was also filled with disbelief, she had never heard Di Chen talk about this before, but it was impossible for Di Chen to tell her this sort of thing.


    Back then, her relationship with Yu Xuanji was not bad, but after the ten great sects were destroyed, she was sealed, and from then on, there was no trace of Yu Xuanji, and now that Di Chen had inherited the Eternal Gate''s medallion, it meant that he had seen Yu Xuanji, she was still alive.


    She still could not believe that Yu Xuanji had actually passed the Sect Leader position to Di Chen.


    When Hong Jun thought about Yu Xuanji, she became a little afraid. She squinted and said: "I thought she was already dead, I didn''t think that he was still alive, and furthermore, I didn''t think that I would have the chance to meet the disciple of Eternal Gate in my life. That''s good too, I''m willing to look around."


    Di Chen kept the order badge and calmly said: If you want, you can go up to your Five Poisons Sect''s successors and compete with me. It''s simple, if you win, this order badge will be yours, if I win, you guys can give me the Nether Moon Sect''s order badge, what about it?


    Ning Fu was startled. What Di Chen was doing was too risky, and she didn''t want to see Di Chen take such a huge risk for her. But in the end, she didn''t stop Di Chen.


    Hong Jun raised her eyebrows, thinking that this person had seen Huai Yu''s battle just now, but he still dared to challenge Huai Yu, which meant that he was not weak. Furthermore, the reason why Yu Xuanji had set his sights on him was definitely not a normal person, so he was a little worried.


    Just then, Huai Yu suddenly spoke out, he looked at Hong Jun and said: "Sect Leader, let me spar with him for a bit."


    Hong Jun asked: "How confident are you?"


    Huai Yu said calmly: "Actually, I have seen his battles before. He is a literati, his strength is not weak, and even with normal Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm, I think he is not a match for him, but I have an 80% confidence in winning."


    had thought that he was much stronger than Jie Long, so he did not believe that Di Zhe could still beat him.


    "literati?" Hong Jun looked at Di Chen in shock, thinking that it was no wonder that he did not see''s Profound Spirit Qi previously, which made him even more worried, but after cultivating for so many years, it was not the first time seeing literati, so he nodded when he saw that Huai Yu was confident: "Go."


    Huai Yu walked out, looked at Di Chen playfully and said: "Did you think that just now, when you saw my battle and had a rough understanding of me, that you would be able to win against me?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "Actually, I am not confident either, but I can''t just watch as you leave. Furthermore, the Sect Leader wants me to find a way to collect the Sect Leader Token from the top ten ancient sects. This is an opportunity, I can''t miss it."


    In reality, it was too dangerous for Di Chen to reveal his identity as the successor to the Eternal Gate, and currently, he only had Di Chen as his disciple. Unlike the Nether Moon Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, he had already taken in many people.


    Huai Yu laughed: "Then you''re too stupid, originally, the Eternal Gate''s medallion was the hardest to get, I didn''t expect you to actually bring it over."


    Di Chen was too lazy to continue talking, he walked to the center and prepared to fight Huai Yu at any time.


    "Di Chen..." You Qin shouted, "Be careful."


    Di Chen laughed: "I''m fine, don''t worry."


    "You sure are confident," Huai Yu snorted, he tapped on the center of his eyebrows, then transformed his ink spear, thrusting it towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately took out two pieces of paper with the word "burst" written on it and threw it out. The power of the scholars rushed inside, and just as Huai Yu pierced towards them, the two pieces of paper exploded with a bang, and a powerful force immediately forced Huai Yu to retreat a few steps.


    "Hmm?" Hong Jun frowned, this move of her seemed somewhat familiar, but he was unable to recall it at all.


    Huai Yu charged towards Di Chen again with his black spear thrusting forward. Di Chen kept using his Blast Character Formula, which was simply too powerful. Huai Yu was actually unable to reach in front of him in a short while.


    Previously, You Qin was simply unable to resist against Huai Yu''s Blast Character Formula, but now, Di Chen could do so easily, but thinking about how much stronger he was compared to You Qin, many people did not think that Di Chen would win, but now, there was hope for him.


    "Damn it," Huai Yu saw that the ink gun was actually unable to hurt Di Chen, and immediately took out a small bottle. He opened the bottle cap, and poisonous wasp s surged out from the bottle one after another, these poisonous wasp s were called Night Spirit Bees, they were extremely toxic, and a single bite would cause them to die.


    Huai Yu laughed coldly: "With so many poisonous wasp, as long as one bites you, you are dead for sure. I want to see how you will dodge this time."


    The poisonous wasp swarmed towards Di Chen, and even the expressions of the spectators changed. They were worried for Di Chen, especially Ning Fu.


    Di Chen stared at the poisonous wasp, he did not move at all, and when the poisonous wasp flew over, he wrote a character on it, and an invisible force dispersed. The poisonous wasp stopped right in front of Di Chen, and they stood still like raindrops in the air, not moving at all.

 C253

    "This ¡­" Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised. This was the first time they had seen such a mystical technique, the literati was indeed different from the martial cultivators.


    "I don''t believe that I can''t kill you," Huai Yu realized that he couldn''t control these poisonous wasp s for a while, so he took out another beast collar. A roar sounded and from within the beast collar, a 30 to 40 feet long black demon tiger roared out.


    Seeing this, the people from the Black Striped Tiger Five Poison Sect were all surprised. They thought that Huai Yu had released the demonic tiger, so it seemed that he had realized just how strong Di Chen was.


    "Swallow him," Huai Yu ordered. The Black Striped Tiger leapt towards Di, its speed was extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, it had already appeared in front of Di Chen, clawing towards him.


    Huai Yu sneered: "Let''s see how you block this Black Striped Tiger."


    In Huai Yu''s eyes, Di Chen was just a literati, his body was relatively weak. The moment he got close to Di Chen, it would be very dangerous, but now that Black Striped Tiger has pounced in front of Di Chen, he was definitely going to die.


    It was already too late for Di Chen to use formula now, he immediately punched at the Black Striped Tiger, his power shot out like streams of sword qi, the sword qi grazed the Black Striped Tiger''s body, and pierced through its skin, causing it to bleed profusely. Before the Black Striped Tiger arrived in front of Di Chen, it directly fell to the ground.


    Everyone was shocked once again. This Black Striped Tiger was also a rarely seen Demonic King, yet it was actually killed by Di Chen with a single punch?


    "Didn''t this guy not have any elemental energy? Why was that move so similar to a martial artist''s technique?"


    Everyone was suspicious, but although the power of this move was strong, there was still no movement of spirit force, no one knew how Di Chen used this move.


    "How can a literati have such a strong close combat ability?"


    Huai Yu did not dare believe it, and leaped towards Di Chen. Violent spirit energy poured into the spear, and once again it pierced towards Di Chen.


    This time, Di Chen didn''t use Blast Character Formula, but calmly looked at him, and waited for him to rush in front of Huai Yu before throwing a punch.


    "This guy actually used his fist to receive Huai Yu''s martial soul?"


    This was the first time that everyone had seen someone daring to use brute strength to fight an opponent with a martial soul.


    Ning Fu, You Qin, Hong Jun and the rest all had serious expressions on their faces as they stared at this scene. Everyone knew that this would be the last time the two of them would exchange blows.


    BOOM!


    Huai Yu''s spearpoint was pointed at Di Chen''s fist. The two powerful energies collided, and their strengths seemed to be similar. For a moment, no one could win against either of them.


    "Dammit. Why is this guy''s strength so strong?" Huai Yu realized that his ink spear was unable to penetrate Di Chen''s body, and was stopped by another force from beginning to end.


    "Your martial soul is only so-so," Di Chen said as he used even more force, causing a crack to appear on Huai Yu''s martial soul, as if it was about to collapse.


    Huai Yu cursed inside, if he continued with the defense of the martial soul, most likely the martial soul would be destroyed, so he quickly kept the martial soul.


    "Too late," Di Chen punched out again, causing the martial soul to collapse and dissipate into an aura.


    Ever since Di Chen had refined the Iron Core Grass, his power had become extraordinarily strong, especially towards the martial soul.


    "My martial soul ¡­" Huai Yu''s face was full of shock and horror. His strongest opponent was the martial soul, and he had defeated quite a few opponents with the martial soul, but his martial soul was actually destroyed today?


    This martial soul was passed down through the Five Poisons Sect, every single Sect Leader would cultivate this kind of martial soul, but they were destroyed by Di Chen, not to mention Huai Yu, even Hong Jun would not be able to accept this kind of thing.


    Seeing this, everyone sighed, if the martial soul was destroyed, how could Huai Yu fight against it?


    "I''ll kill you! Snake Palm!" Huai Yu seemed to have gone crazy as he pounced towards Di Chen, his spirit energy transforming into a green serpent that bit at Di Chen.


    With his current strength, how could he defeat Di Chen? He had just lost his reason.


    Di Chen laughed, and then threw a punch at Huai Yu, the spirit force turned into many sharp swords, the sword qi pierced through the poisonous snakes, and then a few more Sword Qi shot out through Huai Yu''s body.


    Huai Yu let out a miserable cry. A few large holes had been pierced through his chest, and blood continued to pour out. In the end, he kneeled to the ground with a thump and fell into a pool of blood.


    "Huai Yu," Hong Jun''s face was filled with surprise, she did not expect Huai Yu to be killed, he looked at Di Chen in anger, and suddenly rushed forward, striking him with his palm.


    Di Chen only felt a strong pressure descend upon him, and his body shivered, as if he had been confined by this energy, unable to move at all.


    "Hong Jun, what are you doing?" However, right at this moment, Ning Fu suddenly stepped in front of Di Chen and exchanged a palm with him. Both of them retreated a few steps at the same time.


    Ning Fu stared coldly at Hong Jun and said: "You are fighting to the death in a battle, why, don''t you want to lose?"


    Hong Jun roared: Ning Fu, he killed the disciple of our Five Poisons Sect, I want to kill him, Ning Fu, this has nothing to do with you, you better not disturb me, if not don''t blame me for being rude.


    Ning Fu laughed coldly: "This is the Nether Moon Sect, can you really win against us in a battle?"


    If Hong Jun had the confidence to get rid of the people from the Nether Moon Sect, she would not have let Huai Yu fight with him anymore. She really did not have the confidence in fighting him, and most importantly, it was impossible for Hong Jun to leave the Five Poisons Sect for too long.


    "Ning Fu, I will not let this matter rest," Hong Jun curled Huai Yu''s body up and shouted: "Let''s go."


    "Wait a minute," Ning Fu laughed coldly. "Hong Jun, you seem to have forgotten something, right?"


    Hong Jun stared at Ning Fu for a while, and finally threw the Sect Leader''s medallion to Di Chen.


    This time, he originally wanted to snatch the Nether Moon Sect''s order badge, but not only did he fail, he even caused Huai Yu to die.


    His gaze landed on Di Chen, clenching his fists, he said: "Remember, our Five Poisons Sect will not let you go, I will torture you to death sooner or later."


    After saying that, he turned and left, Di Chen was secretly vexed, thinking that he had offended another extraordinary person.


    To be honest, she also didn''t want to fight Hong Jun head on. She looked at Di Chen for a long time before she relaxed her tone and asked: "How are you?"


    Di Chen said: "It''s nothing, I just consumed some of the power of a scholar, so I''m fine."


    He knew that Ning Fu still loathed him, so he handed over the Nether Moon Sect''s order badge to Ning Fu and said: "I''ll leave now."


    "Wait," Ning Fu said hesitantly. "You used up a lot of energy just now, leave after you''ve recovered."


    She did hate Di Chen, but just now, Di Chen had exposed his identity to help them take back the order badge. He was worried that he was the descendant of the Eternal Gate, so her relationship with Yu Xuanji was very good.


    You Qin walked over and advised: "Di Chen, I think you should rest here for a while."


    had always wanted to kill Di Chen earlier, but now that he saw that Ning Fu''s anger towards him had subsided, You Qin was very happy as well. It was just that she was a little worried that Di Chen not listening to Ning Fu''s words would make Ning Fu unhappy, so he quickly advised him.


    How could Di Chen not understand what You Qin meant? After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I still have a few friends outside, and they''re in a very dangerous situation. I can''t abandon them."


    When Ning Fu heard this, her face darkened again. The gratitude she had towards Di Chen earlier was quickly consumed by him.


    You Qin suddenly thought of the people that were with Di Chen previously, she knew that Di Chen was speaking the truth and did not know what to do.


    Ning Fu stared at Di Chen for a while as his spirit force fluctuated violently. In the end, she relaxed and said: "Then call your friend in as well."


    She seemed to not even give Di Chen a chance to choose, as she said while looking at You Qin, "You and Di Chen, bring those people in."


    You Qin was also shocked. Ning Fu did not allow outsiders to enter the Nether Moon Sect, but she was actually making an exception for Di Chen?


    Di Chen thought that Mo Yuner and the rest were also in danger outside, it would be safer to enter the Nether Moon Sect, but he was a bit worried, if Mo Yuner knew the whereabouts of the Nether Moon Sect, they would probably never be able to leave, so Ning Fu would definitely lock them up here.


    You Qin saw through Di Chen''s thought process, and advised: "Didn''t you say they are in danger? Right now, the most important thing is to let them avoid the danger for the time being."


    Di Chen thought that made sense, as for the future, he would have to think of a way. Right now, the most important thing was to help Mo Yuner and the others escape from the pursuit of the Mo Family.


    Inn.


    It had already been four hours since Di Chen was taken away, and he was getting more and more worried.


    "Zi Yan," At this moment, Di Chen knocked on the door.


    Zi Yan anxiously opened the door, and outside was Di Chen. She shouted excitedly: "Di Chen, you''re finally back, I''m fine right?"


    Seeing that Di Chen was fine, Mo Yuner and the others heaved a sigh of relief.


    Di Chen laughed and said: "It''s fine, come with me. I''ll bring you guys to a place."


    Mo Yuner was worried: "Di Chen, where are you going?"


    Di Chen laughed: "You will know when you get there, it is not convenient to talk about it now, come with me."


    He then looked at You Qin, who immediately opened the entrance to the Nether Moon Sect, and they followed him in.


    The location of the Nether Moon Sect was very hidden, outsiders would not know, and even Di Chen always opened the entrance for him to enter, so he did not know the actual location.


    This was Mo Xun''s first time coming to this place, and the environment here was beautiful, giving off a strong sense of spirit energy. Mo Xun exclaimed: "Di Chen, where exactly is this place, it''s simply like a paradise."


    Di Chen then said: "This place is the Nether Moon Sect."


    "Nether Moon Sect?" A few of them were confused, they had never heard that there was such a sect in Martial Region Continent.


    Di Chen then explained in detail to the Nether Moon Sect, after hearing what Di Chen said, Mo Yuner and the rest were all surprised, this Nether Moon Sect was actually one of the top ten ancient sects?


    The top ten sects had been exterminated over a hundred thousand years ago, and now they were reborn? Didn''t this mean that the world would once again fall into danger? More importantly, how did Di Chen know the people of Nether Moon Sect?

 C254

    Mo Yuner and the others looked at Di Chen weirdly, and only now did they know that Di Chen''s identity was actually so mysterious. It was just that there were still some things that Di Chen couldn''t tell them.


    "Di Chen," You Qin said. "I will first take them to rest, and when you go to Sect Leader, she has something to tell you."


    Di Chen nodded, then bid farewell to Jie Qian and Zi Yan before going to Ning Fu''s room.


    Ning Fu was the only one who could enter Ning Fu''s room, it was just that Di Chen did not understand Ning Fu well, so he did not dare to be too close to her.


    When she arrived at Ning Fu''s room, she was reading a book. Her expression was calm, as if nothing had happened to her just now.


    Although Di Chen still called her Big Sister Ning Fu, he treated her with more respect. He was not sure when the temperamental Ning Fu would get angry.


    Ning Fu glanced at Di Chen, patted on the side of his body to indicate Di Chen to sit down, and then Di Chen sat down beside Ning Fu.


    "When did you become the successor to the Eternal Gate?"


    Ning Fu still could not believe that Yu Xuanji would fall for him.


    Di Chen thought for a while, "There was some time, at that time when I went out to gain experience, I accidentally entered the old location of the Eternal Gate, and met the Sect Leader."


    Ning Fu paused for a while before asking, "Then how is Sister Xuanji?"


    Di Chen had heard from Yu Xuanji that her relationship with him was not bad, and from his way of addressing her, he knew that their relationship was not simple.


    "She has always been sealed in the Eternal Gate''s secret room. She can only appear once every so often."


    The seal on the Mysterious Fish Machine was much more severe than the others. Ning Fu was able to move freely, and Hong Jun, who was the youngest, was able to leave the Five Poisons Sect, the only one who was not free to do so.


    Di Chen could not help but ask: "Sister Ning Fu, Sect Leader said that all ten great sects were destroyed at the same time, and all ten great Sect Leader s were sealed.


    Previously, Di Chen had heard from him that it was the heavens that had destroyed the ten great sects, and that the Sky Sect''s envoys had killed the people from the ten great sects. However, Di Chen did not have any specific understanding of the heavens, and the ten great sects all believed in the heavens, so how could the heavens destroy the ten great sects?


    Ning Fu was slightly taken aback, and asked hesitantly: "Did Sister Xuanji not tell you?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "She said that right now is not the time for me to know, I will naturally know once I cultivate to the Martial Saint."


    Ning Fu was not surprised that Yu Xuanji did not say anything. She went silent for a while and said: "Actually, there is nothing much to hide. Back then, the ten great sects ruled over the entire Martial Region Continent and they committed all sorts of evil deeds.


    Earlier, Di Chen heard about it from Hen Zhen, it was only that Di Chen could not believe it at the time, and now that he heard it, he believed it. But Di Chen still did not understand, could it be that the reason the people from the celestial domain destroyed the ten great sects was because the ten great sects did not do anything evil?


    Di Chen thought that no matter how he looked at it, Yu Xuanji and Ning Fu did not look like bad people.


    "Di Chen, perhaps you do not know that after a hundred thousand years of rest and recovery, the ten great sects will reappear. Although I am the Sect Leader, I do not think that this is a good thing.


    Ning Fu said with a serious face: "It''s just like the Five Poisons Sect, which is the most ruthless sect. Back then, with just a wave of a hand, it easily annihilated an entire city''s worth of people.


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "But that was a hundred thousand years ago, even if the ten great sects reappear, they would still not be their original sects. Let''s talk about me, I represent the Eternal Gate, but I won''t do that."


    The ancient top ten sects were all demonic sects, but those people had long died, so Di Chen''s continuing Eternal Gate was like an empty shell. Without disciples, even if Di Chen inherited the Eternal Gate, he would not commit more massacres, he truly did not understand why Ning Fu would say that the re-emergence of the top ten sects was a disaster.


    "Because ¡­" Ning Fu wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, she decided to retract what she was saying.


    Ning Fu changed her tone: "Di Chen, there are some things that you can''t know, so don''t ask too much. I can''t say too much."


    Di Chen secretly thought that Ning Fu did not want the ten great sects to reappear, so he suddenly thought of what Mu Zhongli had said before he left and asked: "It doesn''t matter even if the ten great sects reappear, since there is still the Son of Heaven right?"


    The ten strongest sects in the Martial Region Continent were known to be evil, and the Son of Heaven had exterminated one of the top ten sects. However, these were only legends, there were very little literature on them, Di Chen thought that if the top ten sects were exterminated, there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.


    Ning Fu was startled: "I never thought you would even know that it is actually impossible for people from the celestial domain to enter the Martial Region Continent, so they have to select a specific person to complete the mission for them, so Son of Heaven is actually sent by the people from the celestial domain to exterminate the ten great sects. It''s just that only the people from the celestial domain know who this person is, and whether or not this so called Son of Heaven can grow up is a question."


    Previously, Di Chen had heard Mu Zhongli explain it before, that the so called Son of Heaven was the person sent to the Martial Region Continent by the celestial domain. He grew up and trained in the Martial Region Continent, and after a certain period of time, he would destroy the ten great sects.


    "It shouldn''t be me," Di Chen thought, even though Mu Zhongli thought this way, Di Chen did not think that way. Martial Region Continent''s talent was way better than his.


    Ning Fu took out the Five Poisons Sect''s medallion, and handed it over to Di Chen, saying: "Help us snatch the Nether Moon Sect''s medallion, and we will give you the Five Poisons Sect''s medallion."


    Di Chen thought that after the ten great sect''s tokens were combined, they could be used to refine a Divine Artifact, so he kept it. He thought that if there was a chance in the future to gather all of the ten great sect''s tokens, it would be a good thing.


    "That''s right," Ning Fu asked again. "What exactly happened to those people you brought with you?"


    Di Chen immediately told him about the Mo Family.


    "Mo Family?" Ning Fu raised her eyebrows, she was silent for a moment and then asked: "What is the cultivation level of the strongest people in these clans?"


    Di Chen thought for a while, then said: "It should be the Martial Ancestor, as for which stage, I am not sure."


    "So it''s only the Martial Ancestor," Ning Fu said calmly. "If you want to help Mo Yuner reclaim the Mo Family, I can help you. If it''s just a mere Martial Ancestor, it should be very easy for me."


    Ning Fu was now a Martial Saint Ranker, killing a few Martial Ancestors wouldn''t be difficult for her.


    After Di Chen heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, but she still had some doubts, and said: "Sister Ning Fu, aren''t you unable to leave this place?"


    Ning Fu shook her head: "It''s fine if you want to leave, but you can''t leave for too long and it''ll take a lot of time. However, this kind of thing is at most sufficient for me to take ten or so minutes.


    On one hand, Ning Fu didn''t want Mo Yuner and the others to stay here, so he wanted them to leave as soon as possible after resolving this matter. On the other hand, she wanted to be grateful to Di Chen.


    After conversing with Ning Fu for two hours, Di Chen left the room and went to Mo Yuner''s living quarters two hours later.


    Mo Yuner had too many suspicions in her heart, she had been waiting for Di Chen, and upon seeing him return, she anxiously asked.


    Di Chen gave a brief description of his relationship with the Nether Moon Sect and reminded them in a serious tone: "Senior Sister Mo Yuner, please do not leak news of the Nether Moon Sect or else Sister Ning Fu will definitely not let you off."


    With Ning Fu''s original temperament, she would not care about the life and death of Mo Yuner and the rest at all. However, this time, she actually allowed Mo Yuner and the others to come into the Nether Moon Sect, and what was even more unexpected to Di Chen was that she did not have any plans to imprison Mo Yuner and the others in the Nether Moon Sect.


    "I understand." How could Mo Yuner not know the severity of the situation?


    Mo Xun asked worriedly: "Di Chen, I heard that the top ten sects are extremely evil, isn''t it too dangerous for you to get into contact with them?"


    The records regarding the Ancient Great Sects were not good. Even Ning Fu herself said that the Ten Great Sects were evil sects, it was normal for Mo Xun to be worried.


    Although Di Chen had a good impression of him, Di Chen himself felt that it was too dangerous to stay here. Not everyone would take care of him like Ning Fu did, since there were people who wanted to kill him before this.


    "It''s fine, I''ll be careful." Di Chen laughed: "Oh right, tomorrow, Big Sister Ning Fu will help you guys retake the Mo Family, when that time comes, you can leave this place."


    "Really?" Hearing this, Mo Yuner was pleasantly surprised, she had originally thought that taking back the life of the Mo Family would be hopeless, but she never thought that the Nether Moon Sect would actually help her, Ning Fu was the Martial Saint Realm, taking back the Mo Family would be a piece of cake.


    Di Chen nodded and said, "You all should cultivate well today and recover your spirit energy. Tomorrow, we will take back the Mo Family."


    Mo Yuner had a face full of joy, she was very grateful towards Di Chen, but she did not know what to say. She suddenly thought back to how she had forcefully brought Di Chen back to the Mo Family, and even killed Qin Er. Although Di Chen did not say anything about it, she was very clear that Di Chen had been brooding over it the entire time.


    Di Chen did not go into detail, and allowed them to have a good rest before returning to his own room.


    The second day!


    Ning Fu found Di Chen and said: "Today, we will go to Mo Family. Take me there."


    Di Chen looked at Ning Fu with suspicion. She did not bring anyone else, even You Qin was not present, so he asked doubtfully: "Big Sis Ning Fu, are you prepared to go by yourself?"


    Ning Fu smiled and said: "I alone am enough. I should finish this earlier and return earlier."


    The person who heard this was Mo Yuner, she did not expect the Nether Moon Sect to personally help him take the Mo Family back.


    "Alright then, Senior Sister Mo Yuner, Mo Xun, you guys go too," Di Chen looked at Zi Yan and Jie Qian: "The two of you stay."


    They were not from Mo Family, so even if they got the devil back, they would not stay in Mo Family, but Mo Yuner and Mo Xun had to stay in Mo Family.


    Ning Fu did not want the two to stay, but she did not say anything. She could not disappoint Di Chen.

    Mo Family.


    In the great hall, Mo Xiuwen was kneeling on the ground with a battered and exhausted appearance. Mo Xiuqi sat on the Family Head''s chair, looked at Mo Xiuwen playfully and said: "Second brother, you did not expect this day to come. That year you stole my position in the Family Head.


    Mo Xiuwen gritted his teeth as he stared at Mo Xiuqi and roared: "You traitor of the Mo Family, this time you actually took the chance to seize the position of the Family Head from the He family and Li Jie''s attack, and even gave them most of the Mo Family''s wealth, you are simply not worthy of the Mo Family."


    It was one thing to steal the position of Mo Family, but what Mo Xiuwen could not endure the most was that Mo Xiuqi actually gave the Mo Family''s medicinal pellets and silver taels to the He family, causing the Mo Family''s overall strength to decline greatly. If not for the fact that Mo Family still had an advantage in terms of terrain, these two families would have already annihilated the Mo Family.


    Mo Xiuqi laughed coldly: "I already made you hand over Di Chen earlier, you''re the one who didn''t listen, can you blame me? To cause Mo Family to suffer such a huge loss for an outsider, all this is your fault."


    Mo Xiuwen was too lazy to argue with him and kept quiet.


    Mo Xiuqi didn''t waste any time and said in a low voice: "Mo Xiuwen, I''m the master of the Mo Family now, hand over the Family Head''s keepsake."


    Mo Xiuwen had long concealed the Mo Family''s food when he intentionally violated the rules, so it was impossible for Mo Xiuqi to inherit the position of the Family Head without having a keepsake. The people of the Mo Family would never admit to it, and although Mo Xiuqi held the dominant position, there were still many people in the Mo Family who were against it, but did not dare to say it out loud.


    "Mo Xiuwen..." Mo Xiuqi walked in front of Mo Xiuwen and said in a low voice: "The reason why I didn''t kill you was not because you had hidden the Family Head''s keepsake, I was only doing it on account of you being my brother.


    In fact, Mo Xiuqi had stolen the position of the Family Head in the first place, so he did not need to obtain the Family Head''s keepsake to obtain its acknowledgement.


    How could Mo Xiuwen not know, but handing over the Family Head''s keepsake would mean that he recognized Mo Xiuqi''s identity. Right now, Mo Xiuqi was the Family Head, but he was not one to be recognized as the Family Head, there was a limit to the authority of the Mo Family, furthermore, he knew that if he handed over the keepsake, he would definitely die.


    Seeing that Mo Xiuwen did not say anything, Mo Xiuqi did not pursue further, and said in a low voice: "Mo Xiuwen, you forced me to do this, since you want to die, don''t blame me for this."


    He no longer planned to take back the Family Head''s keepsake. As the spirit energy gushed out, he wanted to kill Mo Xiuwen. Right now, those who stayed in the hall were all supporting Mo Xiuqi, and no one would stop him.


    BOOM!


    However, at this time, the entire Tianshan shook, as if it was going to collapse.


    "What''s going on?" Mo Xiuqi withdrew his spirit force and asked in surprise.


    Just then, the butler Demon Soul rushed in and looked at Mo Xiuqi anxiously: "Not good, Mo Yuner has brought people back."


    "Mo Yuner?" Mo Xiuqi frowned, thinking that Mo Yuner was only using Martial Monarch Level, how could the person she brought back be so powerful?


    Mo Xiuqi did not ask anymore. Walking out of the Mo Family, he saw four people standing outside: Mo Yuner, Mo Xun, Di Chen and Ning Fu.


    When Mo Xiuqi saw that there were only four people, he was startled. He originally thought that Mo Yuner would invite the other families for help, but in the end, he invited one person?


    He could not see through Ning Fu''s cultivation, but he could faintly feel a strong wave of spirit energy coming from Ning Fu''s body. This person''s cultivation was very strong.


    "Mo Yuner," Mo Xiuqi coldly snorted, "You have so much guts to actually dare come back. Your father betrayed the Mo Family, so since you are his daughter, you must know about this matter.


    Mo Yuner shouted angrily: "Mo Xiuqi, the He family and Li Jie attacked my Mo Family at the same time, and yet you help outsiders to kill my Mo Family''s people, you deserve to die the most, you still have the face to say that we betrayed the Mo Family?"


    Mo Xiuqi said angrily: I am your elder, and you actually dare to use such a tone to speak to me. Mo Xiuwen''s daughter is indeed uneducated, could it be that you all will betray the Mo Family?


    Then his gaze fell on the Demon Soul and he said, "Go and capture this betrayal. I want to make an example of him."


    The Demon Soul nodded and then immediately walked towards Mo Yuner. Mo Yuner remained still and was not afraid of him.


    Just at this moment, Ning Fu suddenly looked at the devil soul coldly, and a gust of cold Qi entered the devil soul''s body. The devil soul felt its body turn cold, as if it was imprisoned by a powerful force, and was unable to move.


    "Who are you?" Mo Xiuqi asked vigilantly, he vaguely felt that this woman was very dangerous.


    Ning Fu stared at Mo Xiuqi for a moment, without saying a word, she walked straight towards Mo Family, with Di Chen and the other two following behind.


    "Halt," Mo Xiuqi blocked Ning Fu''s path and berated him, "This is the Mo Family, so how can you enter without permission?"


    Ning Fu suddenly looked at Mo Xiuqi, and with a wave of her hand, a strong gust of wind directly blew Mo Xiuqi away, causing him to be unable to resist at all.


    "Martial Saint ¡­" This was the first time he had seen a Martial Saint Realm Ranker, where did Mo Yuner find this?


    This time, Mo Xiuqi did not dare to resist. He followed obediently with beads of perspiration trickling down his face. He thought to himself, this is it.


    A few minutes later, everyone arrived at the great hall of the Mo Family. At this moment, Mo Xiuwen was still kneeling on the ground, looking miserable.


    "Father," Mo Yuner said as she hurriedly helped Mo Xiuwen up. "How are you?"


    Mo Xiuwen said in a daze, "Yun''er, why are you here?"


    He had thought that Mo Yuner had come back to die, and was a little excited. However, he had also seen Di Chen.


    Mo Yuner pointed at Ning Fu and explained: "This is Senior Ning Fu, she''s a Martial Saint rank expert. Di Chen has come to find him to help us."


    "Martial Saint ¡­" Mo Xiuwen gasped. Up till now, he still had not seen any Martial Saint.


    Mo Xiuwen quickly bowed: "Thank you for your help, senior."


    Ning Fu waved her hand and ignored Mo Xiuwen. The reason she came was entirely because of Di Chen.


    "Hurry up and get your Family Head''s seat," Ning Fu said. She didn''t have much time, so she had to quickly leave this place.


    Hearing these words, Mo Xiuqi''s face changed, but facing this Martial Saint, he had no chance of resisting. His face was completely pale, as if he was waiting for death.


    This time, there are a lot of traitors in the Mo Family, it will be quite troublesome for Mo Xiuwen to take back the Family Head''s position. He looked at Mo Yuner and said, "Yun''er, go to the Sky Prison first and release us Mo Family''s people."


    "Alright," Mo Yuner immediately left with Mo Xun, and no one from Mo Family stopped them.


    At the same time, Mo Xiuwen sent other people to capture those who betrayed him, especially people like Mo Hong.


    Mo Xiuwen''s gaze then turned towards the other people who supported Mo Xiuqi, and said in a low voice: "I can forget about you betraying the Mo Family, I''ll give you a chance to turn over a new leaf, if you are willing, you can kneel down."


    These people were the elders of Mo Family, and many of the Mo Family''s foreign delegates knelt down.


    Mo Xiuwen''s gaze fell on Mo Xiuqi again, and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?"


    Mo Xiuqi knelt down with a thump, and begged for mercy: "Xiu Wen, I was wrong this time, please forgive me."


    Mo Xiuwen squinted: "If you were just thinking of snatching the position of Family Head, maybe I would have let you off, but since you killed Ninth Brother, how can I let you off?"


    With that said, Mo Xiuwen took out a handful of Spirit Sword and leaped in front of Mo Xiuqi, and the Spirit Sword directly embedded itself into Mo Xiuqi''s body.


    Mo Xiuqi looked at the Spirit Sword that had pierced his chest in disbelief, and then, it fell onto the ground. He originally thought that he had completely seized the position of Family Head, but who would have thought that he had only seized one day.


    With Mo Xiuqi''s death, even more people in the Mo Family did not dare to resist, and all of them lowered their heads, not daring to speak.


    "Many thanks, senior," Mai Xiuwen bowed once more.


    Mo Xiuwen ignored him, looked at Di Chen and said: "The matter has already been resolved, we can go back now, right?"


    Di Chen nodded, and followed Ning Fu.


    looked at Di Chen''s back figure in shock. Previously, when Mo Yuner forcefully brought Di Chen back, he still had the heart to kill Di Chen, but seeing that Di Chen was literati, he gave up on that idea, and now that Di Chen knew such a powerful expert, she felt a lingering fear. After all, Mo Xiuwen almost killed Zi Yan earlier, if that was the case, Mo Family would probably have already been annihilated by him.


    Di Chen followed Ning Fu and left. Just as they reached the door, they saw Mo Yuner and Mo Xun chasing after them.


    Mo Xun looked at Di Chen and asked: "Di Chen, are you sure you will never come back again?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I still need to cultivate. I won''t be back for the time being."


    Mo Xun said: "Then wouldn''t that mean I won''t be able to see you again, and I still want to cultivate together with you? You should stay."


    Di Chen thought that even if he wanted to stay, Ning Fu would not agree, furthermore, he did not want to stay, he shook his head and laughed: "Cultivate properly, when your cultivation becomes stronger, we will have the chance to meet again, I''m leaving."


    She did not have any grudges with Di Chen, so she could be considered to be dependent on him. When she thought that it was possible that she would not be able to see him again in the future, she became somewhat reluctant.


    Mo Yuner did not say anything. At that time, Di Chen had stayed in Mo Family because she had threatened him with Zi Yan, but now that Zi Yan was no longer in Mo Family, there was no reason for him to stay. Furthermore, Di Chen did not target the Mo Family just because he killed Qin Er.


    How could Di Chen not want to take revenge for Qin Er? Only, she was already dead, and this matter had been going on for a long time already, so Di Chen did not want to be enemies with the Mo Family anymore. However, this did not mean that Di Chen would forgive Mo Yuner for what he had done previously.


    Mo Yuner stared at Di Chen''s back in a daze. During this period of time, his impression of Di Chen had long since changed, but she had still killed Qin Er. His impression of her on her still hadn''t changed.

 C256

    Zi Yan left the Mo Family, so it was likely that the Mo Family would not dare to disturb him in the future, hence the matter regarding the Mo Family finally came to an end.


    Nether Moon Sect.


    "During this time, you will stay in the Nether Moon Sect to cultivate and try to break through your Martial Monarch Level as soon as possible."


    Ning Fu reminded him seriously: "The Five Poisons Sect has always wanted to kill you, with your current cultivation, going out would be too dangerous."


    Di Chen thought to himself, in this period of time his cultivation had not been able to break through, his current realm was the ninth stage, and the cultivation realm was also the seventh stage. He should cultivate well for a period of time, if not, how would he collect the Sect Leader Medallions from other sects?


    When Ning Fu heard this, he clearly heaved a sigh of relief. If Di Chen had disagreed just now, she did not know what would happen to Ning Fu. Di Chen was truly curious what Ning Fu experienced in the past, and why did she hate others betraying her.


    "You should go rest first," Ning Fu said as she rubbed the center of her brows. "The time just now was too long, I''m a little tired."


    Just like the other Sect Leader, Ning Fu had been sealed by a mysterious power. Although the seal had loosened, she could only come out for a period of time at a time, and would not be able to see Di Chen again for this period of time.


    After Di Chen left, he went to the side room with Jie Qian and Zi Yan, who were waiting for Di Chen''s return.


    "Di Chen, has the matter been resolved?" Zi Yan impatiently asked when he saw Di Chen.


    Di Chen laughed: "The matters of Mo Family have been resolved. In the future, Mo Family will not threaten you anymore."


    Zi Yan clenched his fist and was silent for a long while before he asked: "Di Chen, then is Bai Qian''s revenge going to be taken?"


    Di Chen didn''t know how to reply. Bai Qian had been killed by Mo Yuner, so was he supposed to go and kill her himself?


    "Zi Yan," Di Chen said as he comforted his, "Forget about this matter."


    Zi Yan bit his lips,he was unwilling, but what could she do, after all, with her cultivation, she could not take revenge.


    In reality, Di Chen had also given up on taking revenge for Qin Er, and Zi Yan actually understood too. After all, during this period of time, Di Chen and Mo Yuner had experienced life and death together, and she had also saved Di Chen''s life.


    Di Chen sighed, looked at Zi Yan and said: "Zi Yan, from now on, don''t go back to the Famous Sword Academy, you can stay here, this place is suitable for you to cultivate."


    No one took care of Zi Yan when he was outside, so Di Chen was still quite worried about her. It was a good thing for her to stay behind, so she nodded and said: "Alright."


    "Jie Duo, I still need to go into closed door cultivation during this period of time. You should also cultivate well."


    Di Chen looked at Jie Long and said, he was preparing to break through to the Emperor Realm in this period of time, Jie Long nodded in a daze.


    After returning to his room, Di Chen took out < Soul Painting >. Previously, Di Chen was unable to look at the book, but suddenly, he could barely look through it, and when he opened it, it was the same as before. The moment he opened it, the words immediately became extremely distorted, and Di Chen felt dizzy, as though he was about to explode.


    "Sure enough, I can barely see the seventh level of King Wen." Di Chen took a deep breath, and then, he quietly looked at every word. Every time he looked at a word, Di Chen felt a power of a scholar fusing into his body, and when this power completely fused with his body, Di Chen would feel that the power of a scholar becoming stronger, and the words that he had read before became clearer, as if it was just an ordinary word, but the other words were still blurry.


    "What''s going on?" Di Chen thought that the words contained the power of a scholar, and when he looked at it, he absorbed the power into his body, causing the words to become clear.


    Di Chen had just read five words, but he realized that the power of the scholars in his body had increased by more than a little, and was even more effective than when he had read more than ten books.


    "How can there be such a great power amongst scholars?" Even Di Chen himself was a little surprised, but Di Chen realized that it took him a long time to see a single word clearly at one go, and merely five words were already needed more than ten stops. If he continued to read like this, it would take him a whole year to complete a book, but as Di Chen''s realm increased, his reading speed also increased, and it probably wouldn''t be long before his realm could increase as well.


    Di Chen continued to read the < Soul Painting >, the power of the scholars in his body was quickly increasing, Di Chen realised that the contents of the book were very ordinary, the only thing that was powerful was writing using the power of a scholar, he did not know what kind of expert the author was.


    Two days later.


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen let out a long breath of air. His cultivation had finally broken through the first level of King Wen, so his cultivation speed was much faster than before.


    Di Chen did not stop there, he continued to flip through the books, and as his realm increased, the content that Di Chen could see would naturally increase. Furthermore, the later Di Chen grew, the more words he could read and the faster his cultivation would increase.


    "The scholar and the martial artist have both broken through to the ninth level at the same time."


    Di Chen''s cultivation progress was evidently much faster than before, but in reality, with Di Chen''s Inherent Skill, he was still too slow. Right now, he had the chance to break through the Emperor of Wen and Martial Monarch Level.


    The Martial Monarch Level had to absorb Demonic beast flesh and blood s, this was something that Di Chen was unable to do for the time being, as the realm of the Wen Emperor would be slightly larger.


    After a period of time, Di Chen continued to use < Soul Painting > to suddenly reach the King Wen, and the power of the scholars in his body continued to increase.


    One month later!


    Di Chen closed the book. For the past month, he had been flipping through the book, the power of the scholars in his body was increasing, but Di Chen did not know how much, and the reason why he closed the book was because he could faintly feel that the power of scholars in his body had reached its limit.


    "Hmm? "He broke through?" Only now did Di Chen realize that his powers as a scholar had already surpassed the level of Martial King, and unknowingly, had already broken through.


    Di Chen laughed, he had only read a few pages of the book, and if he continued to read like this, Di Chen would at least be able to break through the level of Wen Zong, but at that time, Di Chen would need to find another book like that, it would just be too difficult to find a book written with the power of a scholar.


    Di Chen put away the book and walked out. He stretched his back and did not leave his room for the past one month.


    "Di Chen..." At this time, You Qin walked over, she looked at Di Chen and said: "Sect Leader has asked you to make a trip to Sect Leader after you finish cultivating."


    Di Chen nodded and immediately went to Ning Fu''s room.


    "You broke through to the Emperor Realm?" Ning Fu''s face showed that Di Chen''s cultivation had improved once again.


    Di Chen laughed: "The < Soul Painting > manual that I obtained previously is not an ordinary book. This book can easily help me break through the level of the sect, it''s just that I don''t have the time to continue practicing it right now."


    However, this kind of breakthrough was not beneficial to his cultivation. Di Chen needed to ensure that every time he broke through a new level, his combat experience would also increase accordingly. Moreover, Di Chen also needed to raise his cultivation realm at the same time.


    "That''s right," Di Chen asked curiously. "Big Sis Ning Fu, why have you called me here?"


    Ning Fu said seriously: "I previously heard that the Snow Sect was also out, and it is in the Eastern Desolation. I want you to go and snatch the Sect Leader''s medallion."


    "Snow Sect?" Di Chen had heard of this sect. It was one of the weaker sects amongst the Ancient Ten Major Sects, located at the location of the Eastern Desolation.


    "This sect has just been established, I think they have just found a suitable candidate to continue. For the time being, I don''t know how strong the other party is, and I can''t go too far, so I can only let you go."


    Actually, Ning Fu could have sent some other people from the Nether Moon Sect, but Ning Fu was still worried. Moreover, Di Chen also wanted to obtain the Sect Leader Token from one of the Ancient Ten Great Sects.


    Ning Fu reminded him, "If you are willing, you can bring some people to Nether Moon Sect. It will be safer this way."


    Di Chen thought that Yu Xuanji had requested for him to find the Sect Leader''s Medallions of the ten great sects. Since he had news, he must go, and this time, Di Chen wanted to go out and gain some experience.


    "No need," Di Chen said.


    Jie Long was a witch who had lived in the Eastern Desolation ever since she was young. She was very familiar with that place, and it would be easy for her to accompany her.


    Ning Fu did not try to persuade him otherwise and said, "Then you should be careful. Come back as soon as possible if you encounter any danger."


    Di Chen and Ning Fu chatted for a while before they left her room. They found Jie Wei and explained the reason why.


    She did not immediately answer Di Chen, but was hesitating. It was obvious that she really wanted to follow Di Chen, but she was also a bit afraid.


    Di Chen saw through Jie Wei''s thoughts, smiled and said: "It doesn''t matter if you don''t want to go, since that place is dangerous anyway."


    Jie Long shook his head. "I''m going. It''s just that there are people chasing after my enemies there. I''m afraid I''ll bring you trouble."


    Di Chen was startled, this was actually the first time Jie Long spoke the most.


    Di Chen was not the least bit worried as he smiled: "I already have many enemies myself, but you''ve been following me the entire time. It''s fine, if you have any revenge, I''ll help you take it."


    In fact, Di Chen going to snatch the Sect Leader''s badge would be very dangerous for him.


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, Jie Wei did not reject anymore, and nodded after thinking for a while.


    "Alright, we''ll go tomorrow then," Di Chen also wanted to find the Snow Sect Badge quickly so that he could get the 10 tokens and fuse them into a Divine Equipment.


    Di Chen immediately found Zi Yan again and said: "I''ll go to Eastern Desolation with Jie Wei tomorrow, and I don''t know how long this trip will take. You can stay in Nether Moon Sect to cultivate properly in the future, understand?"


    It was already very dangerous for Eastern Desolation to have many barbarian race s in the first place. Furthermore, Di Chen was going to snatch the Snow Sect''s medallion this time, so he didn''t know if he would be able to return alive.


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, Zi Yan felt as if he was talking about the future, and said worriedly, "If it''s too dangerous, then don''t go."


    Di Chen laughed: "It''s still considered going out to train, it''s alright, I hope to raise your cultivation one step when I return."


    Zi Yan nodded his head, she knew that once Di Chen left this time, she would not be able to see him again.

 C257

    Outside Spirit State City.


    "A Xue, who are you looking for?" In this period of time, Fang Xue had been searching around the city for three days. It seemed like she was very anxious and angry, Luo Yumeng initially did not want to ask further, but in the end, she could not hold it in.


    Fang Xue thought that Luo Yumeng did not know him, so she did not say her name and explained: "She is the person who killed my big brother Fang Xin. He was previously a student of the Sky Realm Academy, and after leaving the Sky Realm Academy, I do not know why she came to Spirit State City."


    "Di Chen?" Only now did she know who Fang Xue was looking for. Back then, when she met Di Chen in the mountain, the two of them fought fiercely, and when they met again at the wizard tower s, Luo Yumeng helped Di Chen this time, so they could be considered as peaceful. He thought that they would never get along well in their lives, but who would have thought that he would hear of this name again today.


    Luo Yumeng laughed: "This guy really knows how to cause trouble everywhere, his enemies are everywhere."


    Fang Xue was surprised: "Yu Meng, you know him too?"


    Luo Yumeng casually explained the matter of meeting Di Chen back then. The two could not be considered friends, but now, they could not be considered enemies either.


    Fang Xue frowned, she was silent for a moment before saying: "Since you guys are not friends, then don''t help him."


    If Luo Yumeng really wanted to help Di Chen, she did not know what to do.


    Luo Yumeng laughed: "This is your personal matter, I will not interfere."


    At this point, she changed the subject and reminded him seriously, "But I have to tell you, this guy''s talent is very good and he''s also very dangerous. You might not be her match."


    In the past, Di Chen had only just broken through to the first level of the Martial King realm and he had already fought with Luo Yumeng, who was already at the fourth level of the Martial King realm. In the end, Di Chen had instead heavily injured Luo Yumeng, and literati''s techniques were too bizarre.


    Fang Xue was shocked, it was the first time she had heard Luo Yumeng praise others, was this Di Chen that strong?


    Fang Hong disapproved: "Maybe that Di Chen is very strong, but he is not weaker than my big sister. I believe that big sister will be able to kill him."


    "That''s true," Luo Yumeng knew Fang Xue''s strength, even she did not have complete confidence in defeating Fang Xue, she thought that if Di Chen really met him, it would be another intense battle, although she was not too concerned about Di Chen''s death, but at the moment, she was really looking forward to the fight between Di Chen and Luo Yumeng.


    After leaving Spirit State City, they headed towards the Desolate Mountain, Luo Yumeng was very clear that the most likely reason for Di Chen to come here was to enter the Desolate Mountain to cultivate.


    After walking for an entire day, Luo Yumeng ran into Hei Yu, Ruo Ling and Zang Gu.


    Zang Gu consumed a pill and his injuries recovered, but his face was still pale. It seemed like he suffered from severe injuries.


    "Big sister." Hei Yu immediately ran over when he saw Luo Yumeng, and said excitedly: "Why are you here?"


    Luo Yumeng casually explained: "Come out to look for someone, Zang Gu, how did you get injured?"


    Hei Yu rushed to explain, "Big sister, do you still remember Di Chen, the one that we met at the wizard tower."


    "Di Chen?" Luo Yumeng stared blankly for a moment, and said in shock: "You guys met him, was it he who injured Zang Gu?"


    Zang Gu was very strong. For Di Chen to be able to injure Zang Gu, how strong was he?


    Fang Xue also stared at Hei Yu in shock, in truth her strength was not much stronger than Zang Gu, if the other party could injure Zang Gu, he would also be in danger.


    Hei Yu shook his head: "Earlier, we met Yu Qianyi, and were the few people from the wizard tower who had grudges with Ruo Ling. We wanted to kill them, but we did not expect that when they were together with Di Chen, Zang Gu and Di Chen would fight.


    Zang Gu said: "That Di Chen is equivalent to the strength of someone at the first stage of the Martial King, it''s nothing much, but he has someone from the Witch race by his side, and I accidentally fell into that person''s technique, which is why I was injured by Di Chen.


    In fact, Zang Gu was not afraid of the Witch race, but he did not notice that Jie Wei had been accidentally hit by Yue Yang''s magic previously, which was why he was injured by Di Chen. If they fought again, he had the confidence to kill the two of them.


    Fang Hong scoffed, "I had thought that Di Chen was very strong, but it seems he wasn''t that strong."


    Since Di Chen couldn''t beat him, then he must also be unable to beat Fang Xue too! Fang Hong was no longer worried after thinking about it for a while.


    "Witch race?" Fang Xue had also heard of this clan. There were very few people in the Witch race, but they were experts in demonic arts and raising Gu worms. The people of this clan were always ruthless and cruel.


    However, if there was a Witch race, he would have to be careful, the strength of the people in the Witch race does not depend on their cultivation, there are some powerful spells that even the Wu Zong s and the Martial Saint s can easily kill.


    Luo Yumeng''s gaze became serious: "A Xue, looks like you have to be careful, this Di Chen''s technique is already strange, and now with the help of the Witch race, if you are not careful, I''m afraid we will all die in their hands."


    Fang Xue nodded her head seriously, she knew the severity of the matter, but she still could not let Di Chen go, so she let Hei Yu bring her and chase in Di Chen''s direction.


    At the foot of the mountain.


    Yu Qianyi supported Di Chen and the rest were about to chase after him, they had to find a place to hide as soon as possible, so Di Chen did not have the time to swallow the pill.


    At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the barren mountain was like a huge cemetery, emitting a terrifying aura. A few people stood at the foot of the mountain, not daring to rashly enter.


    Yao Yao was a little afraid: "Di Chen, are we really going in? Isn''t it too dangerous?"


    Di Chen panted heavily: "Other than this desolate mountain, we don''t have anywhere else to hide. At least, this barren mountain is dangerous for them too, so they wouldn''t dare to recklessly enter."


    It was too easy to find them outside, but the Desolate Mountain was different. The Desolate Mountain was too big, with countless demonic beast, even if the other party dared to enter, they might not be able to find them. If they rushed in, they might even be attacked by the demonic beast.


    Fei Shuang was also against it: "It''s night time, it''s the time that the demonic beast is coming out, it''s not good for us humans, why don''t we rest at the foot of the mountain for the night, and go in tomorrow?"


    Yu Qianyi objected: "That won''t do, they''ll come back any time. Although the deeper parts of the mountain are dangerous, we don''t have to go into the deeper parts of the mountain. We just need to find a place at the foot of the mountain."


    Fei Shuang was still worried: "But even at the foot of the mountain, Demon Emperor s have appeared. If we were to meet them, it would be troublesome."


    Yu Qianyi also did not know what to say. A desolate mountain was different from a mountain, there were many Demon Emperor s here, and even at the foot of the mountain, one could occasionally see them.


    Roar!


    From time to time, the roars of demonic beast would come from the middle of the mountains. The roars were like ripples that rippled across the bodies of the group of people, causing them to tremble in fear.


    Di Chen did not immediately enter, but took out his beast collar and summoned a golden-furred squirrel out. This was the small fruit, which Di Chen had found earlier, and had been following Di Chen ever since. This Goblin Rat was very human, and had a sense of danger, so it would be safer to have it to lead the way.


    "small fruit, help us find a place to hide." Di Chen said softly.


    The small fruit nodded his head and then slipped into the forest. Di Chen looked at everyone and said, "Let''s wait for a while."


    Yao Yao had never seen this type of demon rat before, so she asked doubtfully: "Di Chen, is that your spirit beast? It isn''t strong in the slightest, but it is very intelligent. This is the first time I''ve seen such a spiritual demonic beast."


    Di Chen laughed: "Actually it''s not my spirit beast, but it''s just following me around to cultivate. It''s very smart, and with it, I can at least reduce the danger by half."


    Hearing Di Chen''s words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They thought to themselves that it was no wonder Di Chen dared to enter the desolate mountain, he actually had this kind of protection.


    The few of them waited at the foot of the mountain, while Di Chen took advantage of this time to take out the Demonic Mother Pill. This was given to Di Chen by him previously, he still had a few pills, he had consumed the pill to recuperate his injuries and was already able to move, but he would still need to recuperate a while to fight.


    An hour later, small fruit appeared from the bushes again. He crawled up to''s shoulder through his pants and pointed in a certain direction.


    "Lead the way," Di Chen said. small fruit immediately ran towards a direction, with every step of the way, he turned his head to look at Di Chen, indicating for him to follow closely. It had to be said that the route small fruit chose was the most dangerous route, they did not encounter many demonic beast following it, and the occasional demonic beast that appeared was only a level 4 or 5 Demonic King. These kind of demonic beast would not be able to threaten Di Chen, but because they were humans, they did not dare make too much noise at night, so their speed was very slow.


    After walking for another half an hour, the small fruit suddenly stopped.


    Di Chen walked over, and when he tore through the grass, he saw a pair of dark green eyes in the distance. It was an enormous demonic beast, but it was too dark to see clearly what it was.


    "Specter Wolf?" Yu Qianyi cried out in alarm, his face pale white, he said: "Di Chen, the Ghost Prefecture is a demonic beast unique to the Desolate Mountain, it can be considered as a of the second level. It only operates at night, specializing in sneak attacks, but it''s extremely dangerous.


    Hearing that Yao Yao and Fei Shuang were also extremely afraid, Fei Shuang shouted out loud, "Di Chen, didn''t you say that it would be dangerous to follow you? Why did you bring us to a ghost realm?


    It was obvious that he was angry at Di Chen for encountering danger. He had always been dissatisfied with Di Chen, so when he met with danger, he immediately exploded it out, blaming Di Chen for taking the blame.


    Di Chen was not polite and snorted: "If it wasn''t for me, you would have died long ago. How could you have survived until now?"


    Fei Shuang choked: "I already said before that we can''t enter the Desolate Mountain is dangerous, you can''t come in, but you insisted on letting us in, and now you''re bringing us to meet a ghost wolf, you still think you aren''t trying to kill us?"


    Di Chen said coldly, "If you don''t want to follow them, you can leave. No one will stop you."


    Fei Shuang scolded: "You already lured me to the Desolate Mountain, how can I leave?"


    When Di Chen heard this, his face was filled with ridicule and was too lazy to argue with him.

 C258

    This Fei Shuang clearly knew that she was in danger by herself, that''s why she chose to follow Di Chen. How could she possibly lie?


    Yao Yao couldn''t bear to listen any longer and angrily said, "Fei Shuang, if you think you can live by yourself and leave by yourself, you have to keep your mouth shut if you still want to follow us."


    "Yao Yao..." Fei Shuang had always liked Yao Yao, but he did not expect that Yao Yao would be so angry over Di Chen this time. For a moment, he did not know what to say.


    Yu Qianyi also shook his head slightly. The reason why Fei Shuang was so unreasonable was because she was dissatisfied with Di Chen.


    Jie Long coldly stared at Fei Shuang. Although she did not say anything, her eyes contained killing intent, but she knew Di Chen would not kill people carelessly, so she endured and did not make a move.


    At this time, the small fruit squeaked next to Di Chen''s ears. Di Chen also understood why it had brought him here, it was because even though this was the Ghost State, it was actually the safest path, and there would be a very safe cave after killing the ghost wolf.


    Thinking about it, it was because Fei Shuang''s voice was too loud, causing the ghost state to hear his movements, it suddenly ran towards them, its huge body slamming on the ground with a loud thud, causing the ground to shake.


    "Not good, all of you retreat," Di Chen quickly took out a few pieces of paper with the word "explode" on it and extended his hands out. The power of the scholar rushed inside and exploded the moment the Spirit State closed in, directly pushing the Spirit State back a few steps.


    The ghost wolf growled in a low voice, but did not rashly attack the crowd.


    Everyone had lingering fear on their faces, if not for Di Chen who made a move in time, they would have been dead by now.


    The ghost wolf stared at Di Chen for a while and suddenly pounced on him again. Di Chen once again used Blast Character Formula to push it back, but unfortunately, although this Blast Character Formula could threaten the ghost wolf, it could not kill it. After all, the ghost state''s speed was fast, and its strength was not weak either.


    Di Chen thought that after this risk was over, he should really find a place to cultivate his formula. Otherwise, it would be too disadvantageous for him to encounter demonic beast and warriors of Martial Monarch Level.


    This time, the ghost wolf didn''t dare to attack recklessly. It suddenly turned around and rushed into the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.


    Yao Yao heaved a sigh of relief, "It''s not bad, looks like it also sensed the danger and didn''t dare to attack us."


    "It hasn''t left," Di Chen still remained on alert as he shook his head. "This Ghost Wolf has always been cunning, it must still be hiding nearby waiting for an opportunity to make its move."


    Hearing this, everyone''s faces changed again. If they had the chance to face the ghost wolf head on, but it always sneak attacked them. Even Di Chen would not be able to kill it.


    Yu Qianyi said anxiously, "Di Chen, what do we do? There is a Specter Wolf ready to ambush us at any time, we have no way of leaving this place."


    Di Chen didn''t have any other choice at the moment. He looked at the small fruit on his shoulder and asked, "Can you feel the demonic aura of that ghost wolf?"


    small fruit nodded and pointed in a direction.


    Di Chen immediately took out a few pieces of paper with the word "explode" written on it, and looked in that direction, ready to extend his hand at any time.


    Just then, the bush in that direction moved, the ghost wolf was indeed there, but it seemed that it knew that Di Chen had found it, and ran in another direction. However, no matter where it went, the small fruit would always be able to find its hiding place, it was just that it was going too fast, and kept changing its direction, so even if Di Chen knew where it was, it would be useless.


    Di Chen thought for a while and took out a few slips of paper with the word "explode" written on them. Everyone then said, "If you encounter that ghost wolf''s sneak attack, throw this piece of paper out.


    Everyone held the slip of paper and formed a circle, and then carefully moved in one direction. The ghost wolf was hiding in the dark, and although it did not dare to rashly come out, the problem was that the Demonic Wolf was really dangerous, so no one cared to relax their vigilance.


    "small fruit, how far are we from that cave?" Di Chen asked as the small fruit squeaked.


    Di Chen raised his brows, "There are still three kilometers?"


    Three kilometers was not far for warriors, but the problem was that there were too many demonic beast around, they did not dare to move quickly, plus, there was the Specter Wolf that was prepared to attack at any time, so their speed was even slower, but if they continued talking like this, it might attract other demonic beast.


    "Jie Wei, release your poisonous bugs," Di Chen said as he prepared to use the Jie Wei''s poisonous bugs to protect himself.


    Jie Wei took out a small bottle and a black poisonous insect immediately flew out from it. Countless black poisonous bugs surrounded the group of people and these poisonous bugs were so poisonous, it was obvious that they would die even if they were bitten. Seeing this bunch of poisonous insects, even Yu Qianyi and the others felt their scalps go numb.


    "Let''s go," with these poisonous insects, Di Chen and the others could increase their pace, but the ghost wolf did not dare to rashly attack them.


    A few minutes later, everyone arrived at a cave. Outside the cave were many vines, but no one dared to recklessly enter, as small fruit ran in again. After a while, he ran out again and shouted twice, indicating that there was no danger inside.


    Di Chen led the group into the cave. The cave was not big, but it was more than 10 metres deep and the cave was very moist, it was a good place to hide for the time being.


    "There''s only one entrance to this cave. I assume we won''t be in any danger for now."


    Yu Qianyi finally let out a sigh of relief and said: "But this place is deep inside the desolate mountain. There are too many Demon Emperor, so we can''t stay here for too long."


    Yao Yao asked: "Di Chen, Hei Yu and the others will definitely chase after us, are you confident?"


    If Di Chen was alone, he had a 100% certainty of success. However, Di Chen did not have much confidence in bringing all these Martial Kings, but regardless, he still had to think of a way to kill them.


    "I''ll think of a way. You guys stay here and rest. I''ll go out for a while."


    Di Chen looked at Jie Wei and said: "Follow me."


    The two of them walked to the cave entrance. Di Chen said, "When I was training before, you drew an array formation to protect me. Can that array formation kill that ghost wolf?"


    Jie Long hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as that ghost wolf falls into the array, we can kill it."


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Then why don''t you draw the array inside the cave."


    Jie Long immediately picked up a stone and started drawing an array on the ground. This array formation was very difficult and was filled with Evil Qi, it took Di Chen about an hour to finish drawing the array formation.


    "Alright," Jie Long said weakly.


    Di Chen then asked, "Can those poisonous bugs of yours threaten that ghost wolf?"


    Jie Long said, "No, the ghost wolves can actually kill these poisonous bugs, but it''s not that easy."


    The reason why the Ghostrat Wolf didn''t dare to attack them just now was because the poisonous bugs were very hard to deal with. Furthermore, Di Chen wasn''t weak, so the Ghostrat Wolf''s sneak attack on everyone would be courting death, but if Di Chen left this place, it would be different.


    "Let''s leave this place," Di Chen said to Yu Qianyi and the rest before leaving the cave. He did not know what to do and let the poisonous bugs protect the cave.


    After leaving the cave, Di Chen noticed that the ghost wolf had followed him. In Di Chen''s hand was a piece of paper with the word "Explode" written on it, probably because the ghost wolf knew that Di Chen was on guard against it, so it did not dare to attack.


    After about 10 minutes, the ghost wolf suddenly gave up on Di Chen and headed towards the cave.


    The small fruit warned Di Chen that the ghost wolf had left. Di Chen then smiled, "This ghost wolf is indeed cunning, I think it must have gone to ambush Yu Qianyi and the others. Let''s go back as well."


    Just as Di Chen had thought, the ghost wolf couldn''t find an opportunity to attack Di Chen, so it decided to attack Yu Qianyi and the others.


    It came to the entrance of the cave and looked at the low growls of the poisonous bugs. However, it still did not rashly attack.


    Hearing the howls, Yu Qianyi and the others immediately came to the cave entrance. When they saw the ghost wolf, their expressions changed.


    "Where''s Di Chen? Where did he go?" Di Chen had already left for an hour and had not returned yet. He immediately thought that Di Chen had left and said angrily, "This guy must have told us to wait here for our deaths. He took the opportunity to escape himself."


    Yao Yao refuted: "Di Chen isn''t that kind of person, the sky is currently dark, how can he leave now?"


    Fei Shuang said angrily, "Then how are you going to explain why he hasn''t come back yet? He told us to stay inside the cave to attract the Phantom Wolf and then take the chance to leave. It must be like this.


    Fei Shuang immediately thought of the matter where Di Chen wanted everyone to stay and wait for their deaths.


    Yu Qianyi rebuked, "If he wants us to die, how could he possibly draw an array formation here and leave these poisonous bugs behind? I believe that Di Chen will definitely return, he definitely has something important to do."


    How could Fei Shuang still trust Di Chen? She roared: "You all simply trusted him too much, and now that he''s killed us all, he left by himself instead."


    Yu Qianyi and Yao Yao were too lazy to argue with Fei Shuang, they quietly looked at the ghost wolf.


    The ghost wolf raised its head and roared. The roar spread out like ripples, and those poisonous bugs at the cave entrance immediately fell down, killed by the roar.


    "This ¡­" Yu Qianyi and the other two had pale faces. They thought that the poisonous bugs would be able to fend off the ghost wolf, but they didn''t expect that the poisonous bugs would be so weak. The three of them subconsciously retreated.


    However, after killing these poisonous insects, the ghost wolf looked a little haggard. It lowered its head to rest for a while, then jumped towards Yu Qianyi and the others after recovering its spirit.


    However, just as it passed by the cave entrance, a few ghost claws suddenly extended out from subterranean and grabbed the ghost wolf.


    The ghost wolf let out a blood-curdling screech. It had been captured to a dead end, unable to break free even after a while.


    "What is this?" Seeing these ghost claws, even Yao Yao was a little afraid.


    At this time, Di Chen walked out, looked at the ghost wolf and laughed: "You are indeed a cunning guy, and you have really found me."


    Previously, the moment Di Chen saw it leave, he knew that it must have come to attack Yu Qianyi and the others.

 C259

    Upon seeing Di Chen, Yao Yao immediately ran over, and anxiously asked: "Di Chen, where did you go?"


    It''s too dangerous, so I thought of a way to kill it. It''s just that it''s too cunning, it doesn''t dare to rashly come out, and I know that when I leave it, it will definitely sneak attack you. I''ve left a formation here, and this formation is enough to kill this ghost wolf.


    First, that Phantom Wolf would attack him, and that would be a little troublesome. But this time, he did not need to pay attention to the safety of Yao Yao and the others, as there was also a chance that he could kill the Phantom Wolf wholeheartedly. The other possibility was that the Phantom Wolf had come to kill Yao Yao and the others, and with the help of the array formation, even if Di Chen could not kill the Phantom Wolf, it would still be a little easier to kill it.


    "What?" When Fei Shuang heard this, he was instantly enraged and scolded, "You actually used us as bait. Do you know that we almost died in the mouth of this ghost wolf?"


    Di Chen looked at Fei Shuang, too lazy to bother with him.


    Seeing that Di Chen was actually ignoring him, Fei Shuang was even more unwilling to let it go. Walking in front of Di Chen, he continued: "Di Chen, the reason why we meet with danger is because of you, every time we meet you, it''s definitely not good. If you do this again, don''t blame me for being rude."


    Di Chen laughed coldly, his laughter immediately making Fei Shuang shudder. Yes, you do have the qualifications to be rude to Di Chen?


    Although Di Chen did not say anything, he was clear that he could not keep Fei Shuang here, otherwise, it would bring him trouble sooner or later.


    Di Chen walked in front of the ghost wolf, took out a slip of paper with the word "explode" written on it, and sprinkled it on the side. Then, he retreated to the side, as the power of a scholar poured into it.


    "Finally dead," Di Chen thought to himself. With the death of this ghost wolf, he was one less threat away.


    Everyone returned to the cave, and Yao Yao asked, "Now that the ghost wolf is dead, what should we do next?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "I will stay here and cultivate for a period of time, and increase my strength as much as possible before sending you off. I think Hei Yu and the others will definitely not chase after you."


    Fei Shuang then seized the chance to say: "That''s right, anyway Hei Yu wants to kill him the most, it has nothing to do with us. Thousand, Yao Yao, why don''t we leave this place tomorrow?"


    The reason why Fei Shuang followed Di Chen before was because she was afraid that Hei Yu and the others would find him, but it was different now. They had already avoided Hei Yu''s pursuit, and he believed that Hei Yu would not find him so easily either.


    Yu Qianyi refuted: "This Desolate Mountain has many Demon Emperor s. With us three, it''s basically impossible to get out. It''s safer to follow Di Chen."


    Yao Yao also objected: "The reason Di Chen offended Hei Yu was also for us, how can we leave at this time."


    In fact, Yao Yao knew that her presence at Di Chen''s side would not help him much, but she was still worried that Di Chen would be in danger if he stayed behind by himself. On the other hand, Yu Qianyi was worried about his danger if he did not agree to leave.


    Since Yao Yao was unwilling to leave, then naturally, she couldn''t leave either. He glanced at Di Chen with unwillingness, then retreated to the side.


    Di Chen didn''t have the time to play around with Fei Shuang right now, he took out the Sky Text Sutra, the Blast Character Formula had the strongest Martial King Realm, but it was no longer suitable for the current Di Chen, so he prepared to find a suitable formula for his Martial King.


    There were many formula in the written scriptures, and they all had their uses, but in reality, some of them were not suitable for Di Chen to cultivate.


    "Wind formula," Di Chen saw this set of formula with a glance. This wind formula was able to unleash and kill opponents while being able to cultivate at the first level of Martial King, its power was enough to kill people with triple stage. Compared to the formula that were above the current realm that Di Chen had previously cultivated, this wind formula was not strong, but its cultivation was relatively fast.


    "This is it," Di Chen immediately took out the slip of paper and started to practice the Wind formula.


    In the next period of time, Di Chen immersed himself in training the Wind formula. Like before, every stroke of his required a large amount of time and consumed a lot of the powers of the scholars, so when Di Chen cultivated the Wind formula, he would also need to use copying books to recover his powers.


    Yao Yao and the rest could only look at Di Chen writing and writing, not knowing what he was doing. They did not dare to leave the cave either, and could only cultivate by themselves.


    At the same time.


    Jie Wei didn''t stay idle either. He took out a small bottle and opened its cap to release a spider. The spider had formed a web around the cave entrance. This spider was also highly toxic.


    Then she took out another small bottle. A lot of poisonous bugs flew out from the bottle, and these poisonous bugs immediately flew into the forest. These poisonous bugs were different from the previous ones.


    After doing this, she took out a stick and started drawing talismans. She was a Magus, and what Magi specialized in was the path of talismans, and was able to draw all sorts of evil talismans.


    At the foot of the mountain.


    Hei Yu stood at the foot of the mountain and said seriously: "Di Chen is injured, he cannot escape too far. I think with his personality, he must have entered the desolate mountain."


    Although there were many demonic beast s in the Desolate Mountain, it was indeed a good place to hide, and other than the Desolate Mountain, Di Chen had nowhere else to go.


    Luo Yumeng thought for a while and said: "This Di Chen is very daring, if he was allowed to find a place to hide, he might really choose this place. A Xue, this barren mountain is really dangerous, do you really want to enter this place to kill him?"


    Fang Xue said seriously: "He killed my big brother, I cannot let him go."


    Fang Hong agreed: "This Di Chen is not as strong as my big sister and Zang Gu. We can go anywhere he can, so it won''t be too dangerous for him."


    In Fang Hong''s opinion, it was impossible for Di Chen to enter too deep into the Desolate Mountain, he must still be lingering at the foot of the mountain. The demonic beast at the foot of the mountain posed no threat to Fang Xue, so he was naturally not afraid.


    Luo Yumeng saw that Fang Xue insisted on killing Di Chen so she did not want to stop him either. She also did not want Fang Xue to enter the deep mountains alone, so she looked at Hei Yu and Ruo Ling: "The two of you stay here, with your strength, it is too dangerous to go in."


    Hei Yu and Ruo Ling actually wanted to see Di Chen die as well, but they also knew that entering the Desolate Mountain Range was too dangerous, and they didn''t dare to disobey Luo Yumeng''s orders either. They could only agree, because Zang Gu wholeheartedly wanted to kill Di Chen, so naturally, he would enter.


    In the end, Fang Xue, Luo Yumeng and the others entered, but Fang Hong insisted on going as well. After being injured by Di Chen previously, he believed that with Fang Xue''s trust, nothing would happen to him.


    However, the Desolate Mountain was too vast, it would not be easy to find Di Chen''s location.


    At this time, Fang Xue took out a beast collar and a white-furred mouse ran out. This was a Sky Demon Mouse and was very sensitive to smell, as long as there was any smell remaining, it would be able to smell it. Fang Xue had been relying on this Sky Demon Mouse to catch up to him.


    Fang Hong took out a piece of cloth and placed it in front of the Sky Demon Rat.


    After half an hour, the Sky Goblin Rat King stopped. The smell of the place was extremely dense, which meant that Di Chen and the others had been here before.


    Weng! *


    At this moment, a group of poisonous bugs floated out and swarmed towards the crowd.


    "So many poisonous bugs?" Fang Xue immediately struck out her palm, and a wave of cold air gushed out. Those poisonous bugs were instantly frozen into ice cubes, and then dropped from the sky.


    Luo Yumeng picked up a poisonous bug and looked at it, frowning, "This is a Heart Eating Bug, why is this kind of poisonous bug here?"


    Zang Gu squinted his eyes and said: "It must be that witch, Witch race is an expert in producing Gu, I think they must be nearby, seems like they have already discovered us."


    Sky Goblin Mouse seemed to have smelled Di Chen and the others'' scent, and immediately headed towards a particular direction.


    At the same time.


    Jie Wei stared at the poisonous insect for a while, then his expression changed and immediately retreated back into the cave. But Di Chen was still immersed in his cultivation, there were no signs of stopping, seeing that Di Chen was currently cultivating at the most critical moment, Jie Wei did not know whether to disturb him, and decided to not speak about it.


    Di Chen seriously wrote the word wind, and his cultivation was almost over. An hour later, Di Chen finished writing and he finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    "It looks simple, but it''s still a little difficult to cultivate. It seems like the power of this Wind formula is not weak."


    Di Chen laughed, thinking that this Wind formula was a wind attributed technique, if it was in a place with wind, its power would definitely be even stronger.


    "Di Chen, they have come," Jie Wei said after seeing that Di Chen had finished cultivating.


    "What?" Yu Qianyi said in shock: "We''re hiding in the desolate mountain, how did they accurately pinpoint our location?"


    Fei Shuang pointed at Jie Wei and roared: "Did you already know they were here just now? Why didn''t you say it earlier?


    Jie Qian did not want to disturb Di Chen''s cultivation at all, so when did Fei Shuang see him coming out?


    Di Chen coldly looked at Fei Shuang, and said: "If you yell at her again, do you believe that I''ll kill you right now?"


    Fei Shuang could clearly feel Di Chen''s killing intent, she shrunk her head in fear and did not dare to speak anymore. It was just that she was still very angry.


    At this time, Di Chen had no mood to bother about how the other party found him. Without asking further, he immediately said: "Let''s leave this place first."


    Everyone quickly left the cave, but before Di Chen left, he used some dry grass to cover the array around the cave entrance.

 C260

    Not long after Di Chen and the rest left, Fang Xue''s group of four arrived at the cave. Outside the cave, there was a spider web, and a crimson spider was crawling on top of it.


    Zang Gu recognized the spider at a glance and said, "This spider is also the Witch race''s Insect Gu, its poison is strong, please do not take over this spider web, it seems that they must be here."


    Fang Hong picked up a rock and threw it at the spider web, causing the spider web to fall immediately. After that, he rushed in without even thinking, "Di Chen, get out here right now."


    "Come back," Fang Xue did not expect Fang Hong to be so rash, she immediately pulled towards Fang Hong, but she was still a step too late. Fang Hong had already rushed into the cave, and just as he entered the cave, the ground suddenly trembled, and following that, a few ghost claws extended out from subterranean, grabbing onto Fang Hong and retracting subterranean.


    "Fang Hong..." Fang Xue''s face was filled with fear. She immediately rushed over, but did not enter the cave, she noticed that there was an array formation on the ground, but Fang Hong had already disappeared, and he did not know where he had gone to.


    This was the first time Luo Yumeng had seen such a strange array, and her face was filled with fear.


    Zang Gu had seen this formation before, so he explained: "This is a Ghost Giving Formation, one of the most powerful formations in the Witch race. Anyone who passes through this formation will be caught in hell, it''s extremely terrifying."


    "The Infernal Realm?" Fang Xue said in shock, "Are you saying that Fang Hong is currently in hell?"


    Fang Xue had heard of the concept of hell before, but he did not believe that it actually existed.


    Zang Gu said seriously: "I don''t know if hell really exists, but this formation can really send a person to subterranean, and once this Fang Hong is caught inside, he can forget about coming out. I don''t know what kind of fate he will have at that place, but it must be very miserable."


    Hearing this, Fang Xue''s face changed. She clenched her fists and muttered: "This guy actually used such a terrifying formation to ambush us. She deserves to die, I will definitely not let him get away with this."


    After speaking, she took out the Celestial Demon Mouse and said, "Bring me to him."


    The Celestial Demon Mouse sniffed the air before heading in a certain direction.


    Di Chen, Jie Long and the others headed towards a certain direction in the forest. They were already deep within a barren mountain, and Demon Emperor was everywhere.


    "Di Chen, they''re coming," Jie Wei said worriedly. Her Insect Gu could check the other party''s location.


    Di Chen stopped and frowned: "This won''t do, if this goes on, we''ll catch up sooner or later."


    Yao Yao asked: "Di Chen, didn''t you cultivate a new technique? Don''t you have the confidence to win against Zang Gu? "


    Previously, Di Chen said that he was prepared to train in a new technique, so Di Chen should be able to defeat him.


    In truth, it was not that Di Chen was unable to win, but he was worried that he would affect Yu Qianyi and the rest.


    Jie Wei said: "Di Chen, they have three Martial King s."


    Hearing that, everyone''s faces changed. Di Chen still had confidence in fighting a Martial King but facing three people, Di Chen was really not confident. If it was with Zang Gu''s strength, Di Chen would definitely die.


    "What do we do?" Yu Qianyi became anxious. As a Martial King, he couldn''t do anything.


    Di Chen was quiet for a moment, then said: "Those fellows are here to kill me, it has nothing to do with you guys, let''s split up and run."


    In reality, Di Chen clearly knew that the other party would not let them off, but their first target was Di Chen. This meant that they would not kill Yu Qianyi and the others before killing him.


    "What?" Fei Shuang said angrily: "Di Chen, what is the meaning of this?


    In Fei Shuang''s opinion, Di Chen was the one who provoked Zang Gu, without Di Chen, they would not be in any danger at all. However, Di Chen wanted to separate from them, he had no confidence of surviving without Di Chen''s protection, so of course he would not agree.


    Yu Qianyi and Yao Yao also looked at each other. This was a barren mountain, and there were Demon Emperor everywhere.


    Di Chen said seriously: "Now is different from before, instead of following me, it''s dangerous. Also, with you all here, I won''t be able to kill them wholeheartedly.


    Hearing these words, Yao Yao and Yu Qianyi heaved a sigh of relief.


    Jie Wei immediately took out a small bottle, and a large number of poisonous bugs floated out and surrounded Yu Qianyi and the other two, at the same time, Jie Long released two puppets to protect them.


    Yao Yao said worriedly, "But how are you going to kill them without the orange stalks of insect Gu? They have three Martial King s."


    Di Chen laughed: "There are a lot of Parasites, so there''s no need to worry. Furthermore, the most powerful part of Parasites is not only the Parasites."


    Yao Yao did not want to implicate Di Chen, so she knew that the only reason she could go all out and kill Zang Gu and the others was because she had left him.


    "No," Fei Shuang still didn''t agree, and said: "I won''t leave anyways, Di Chen, go rest and throw me off."


    Previously, Fei Shuang had advised Yao Yao to leave Di Chen, but now that she was really in danger and Fei Shuang wasn''t willing to leave, he had always placed her own safety first. She had never thought that doing this would have any effect on others.


    Di Chen was too lazy to bother with him, he looked at Yu Qianyi and said: "You guys hurry up and go, otherwise it''ll be too late."


    "Di Chen, then be careful," Yao Yao said. Then, he looked at Fei Shuang.


    Fei Shuang remained indifferent, and said: "I won''t leave anyways, it was Di Chen who put us in danger, he definitely has to protect me."


    Yao Yao could tell that Fei Shuang would definitely not leave, and was too lazy to pay any more attention to him, so she directly pulled Yu Qianyi and left, while Fei Shuang stayed behind.


    Without even looking at Fei Shuang, Di Chen headed in the opposite direction from Yao Yao, while Fei Shuang followed closely behind.


    Di Chen was a true warrior, so he could follow Di Chen''s footsteps. However, by following Di Chen like this, he had affected Di Chen, and had even exposed Di Chen''s position.


    "Do you believe that I''ll kill you right now?" Di Chen really couldn''t stand Fei Shuang''s endless pestering. If he continued to follow him, he would definitely implicate Di Chen.


    Fei Shuang scoffed, "You''re the one who brought us danger, Yu Qianyi, I''m not stupid, it won''t be that easy for you to shake me off."


    "It seems you really think I won''t kill you." Di Chen shook his head helplessly. He did not want to kill Fei Shuang, but Fei Shuang''s pestering had already become a threat to him.


    Di Chen suddenly punched Fei Shuang in the chest after he finished speaking. Bang! Fei Shuang''s heart was broken, he spat out a mouthful of blood, he looked at Di Chen in disbelief, he thought that Di Chen would not kill him, but Di Chen actually killed him?


    "Jie Wei, plant a insect Gu on his body." Di Chen said, he believed that Zang Gu would definitely chase after him, and these Insect Gu would be able to be used to ambush him.


    Jie Qian squatted his body and opened the corner of Fei Shuang''s mouth. Then, he took out a small yellow bottle and poured some white liquid into Fei Shuang''s mouth.


    Di Chen asked with doubt: "What are these?"


    Jie Long smiled: "These are the eggs of the Heart Eating Bug. They feed on the corpses, and will hatch and reproduce quickly in Fei Shuang''s body."


    Di Chen had also heard of Heart Eating Insects before. Only the Eastern Desolation had this kind of insect and it was extremely toxic, a group of Heart Eating Insects could even swallow Martial King.


    Di Chen suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Why didn''t you use this Heart Eating Bug to deal with me?"


    Jie Long shook his head. "This Heart Eating Bug is too vicious. I don''t want to use it, but they want to kill you. I can''t let them succeed."


    Di Chen thought that Jie Wei was really good at it, even if he had this Heart Eating Bug, he wouldn''t use it rashly.


    Then, Di Chen took out a piece of talisman and stuffed it into Fei Shuang''s clothes. This was the Corpse Ghost Talisman, it was able to allow a terrifying corpse to move, it was just like those puppets. In other words, it was a corpse puppet.


    Ten-odd minutes later, Fang Xue and the rest caught up and they saw Fei Shuang''s body.


    "It''s him?" Zang Gu remembered Fei Shuang, he was previously together with Di Chen, and said with a frown: "He was not killed by the demonic beast, but by humans.


    Fang Xue never thought that it was Di Chen who did it, and frowned: "Could it be that they are being chased by someone else?"


    Zang Gu walked over to Fei Shuang''s side. Just as he was about to look over his corpse, a large amount of black bugs suddenly flew out from within Fei Shuang''s corpse. These bugs floated onto Zang Gu''s body and bit down.


    "It''s the Heart Eating Bug ¡­" Some of them had already drilled into his body, and Zang Gu could already feel the Heart Eating Bug swallowing his organs.


    Luo Yumeng took out a medicinal pellet and gave it to Zang Gu, saying, "Quickly, swallow this Blood Transformation Pellet."


    Zang Gu immediately stuffed the pill into his mouth, and as the pill dissolved into his body, a burst of excruciating pain surged into his body. Even someone like Zang Gu, who had a strong physical body would roll on the ground in pain from the impact, but fortunately, the pain was alleviated, and Zang Gu slowly calmed down. He laid on the ground and panted heavily, not moving an inch.


    "How is it?" Fang Xue asked.


    Zang Gu propped himself up from the ground, and said with a face full of fear: "Luckily I had the Blood Transformation pill, otherwise I would have been eaten by those Heart Eating Insects just now, but the poison of the Blood Transformation pill was still in my body."


    The Blood Transformation Pill was a type of poison pill, and its poison was very strong. To be able to kill a Heart Eating Bug, Zang Gu would have to poison the Blood Transformation Pill to kill the Heart Eating Bug in his body, but the poison was still in Zang Gu''s body.


    Luo Yumeng took out another Antidote Pill and gave it to Zang Gu. After consuming the antidote pill, Zang Gu''s face recovered a bit, even though the poison master had been eliminated, but the problem was that his organs were still eaten by the Heart Eating Bug. He was severely injured and his strength was severely damaged.


    "Dammit," Zang Gu said furiously. "That guy actually did something to the body."


    He angrily patted Fei Shuang''s dead body, but right at that moment, Fei Shuang''s body suddenly moved, he suddenly opened his eyes and punched towards Zang Gu.

 C261

    The Martial Region Continent''s range was very wide, spanning across things would take at least a year, and Youzhou was located at the center of the Martial Region Continent. This trip to the Eastern Desolation would take at least half a year, of course, if one rode a demonic beast from one relay station to another, they would need at most three months.


    Three months later, Di Chen and Jie Long arrived at Spirit State City, Spirit State City was also a large city in the Martial Region Continent, and was not any smaller than Spirit State City. In the past, Di Chen had participated in the Sky Realm Academy''s examination and met with a person called Fang Xin, who was one of the people responsible for Cao Rouer''s death.


    This Spirit Province was also the closest city to Eastern Desolation, and further ahead would be a few small border towns, so Di Chen was prepared to replenish some of his pills.


    "Is this Spirit State?" Di Chen stood at the entrance of Spirit State City. He had long heard of Spirit State City, but it was his first time here.


    Di Chen looked at Jie Long and said: "You should be more familiar with this place than me. Bring me somewhere to replenish my consumed pills."


    Jie Long looked at Spirit State City with some hesitation, but still walked into the city after hesitating for a moment. It seemed that she was still afraid.


    Spirit State City was filled with a sea of people, which was slightly different from Spirit State City. Most of the people here were from Eastern Desolation, so their clothes and customs were clearly different from Spirit State City.


    Di Chen originally thought that his Martial Monarch Level was considered strong, but when he came to this place, he realized that every single one of them was a Martial Monarch Level.


    The two of them walked for about an hour before they finally arrived in front of a shop. This shop was actually also a Shuiyue Workshop, and there was a Shuiyue Workshop in Youzhou City.


    Di Chen and Jie Qian entered, all the items from Spirit State City''s Shuiyue Workshop were present, Di Chen had replenished some common healing pellets.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen''s footsteps paused, and his gaze landed far off in the distance.


    Jie Dai pulled at Di Chen''s face with a puzzled expression.


    Di Chen said calmly: "I seem to have seen someone I recognized earlier, but he left too quickly, I didn''t manage to see it clearly."


    The person Di Chen saw was Yu Qianyi. Back then, when Di Chen had just broken through the Martial King Realm and met this person after entering the wizard tower, Di Chen had helped him win a battle, but the other party had left in too much of a hurry, so Di Chen did not see him clearly, he thought that it must not be such a coincidence. He did not think too much, and bought some ink and paper, then prepared to find an inn to rest for the night.


    "Di Chen..." Just as he walked out of Shuiyue Workshop, Di Chen heard someone calling him.


    This young man was dressed in white, his long hair was draped over his shoulders, and his face was filled with arrogance. Looking at him, it seemed like he was wearing Martial King Realm, and behind him were two middle-aged men.


    Di Chen did not recognize the youth and asked with a frown: "Who are you?"


    "I am Fang Hong." The youth clenched his fist and said: "You may not know me, but you should know my big brother Fang Xin. You should be clear about how he died, right?"


    "Fang Xin?" This name had existed for a long time, Di Chen thought for a long time before remembering who it was. Back then, when he killed Cao Rouer, it caused a feud between Di Chen and Cao Yuer.


    "So it''s you," Di Chen said calmly. "What do you want?"


    Fang Hong said coldly: Back then, when my big brother entered the Sky Realm Academy to cultivate, he was the heir to the Fang family, and in the end, he died in your hands. It is just that you are not a citizen of Spirit State City, we originally thought that there was no hope for revenge, we did not expect that you would dare come here, this is good too, today I will take revenge for my big brother.


    Thinking that it was because Fang Hong was too excited, he impulsively rushed towards Di Chen, regardless of whether he was stronger than him or not.


    However, just as he was in front of Di Chen, his body stopped as he was trapped by an invisible force. He tried to struggle, but he could not.


    "What did you do to me?" Fang Hong was surprised, he did not see Di Chen make a move at all.


    Di Chen sneered, he was too lazy to care about him, he blocked Jie Wei and let Fang Hong go.


    "You are not allowed to leave," Fang Hong roared at the two people beside him, "Kill him for me."


    Upon hearing this, a person with Martial King on the left side immediately slapped his palm towards Di Chen, releasing a boundless elemental energy that wanted to kill Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it. The power of the scholar rushed inside, and just when the person was about to call, Di Chen instantly broke one of his arms, causing blood to gush out and flip over.


    The other person took the chance and brandished his Spirit Sword and threw out a piece of paper. When the other person saw the piece of paper, he immediately retreated, but Di Chen did not detonate the piece of paper.


    "What kind of cultivation technique is this?" The two of them were shocked, if the other party had truly intended to kill them earlier, they would have already been killed. They could clearly see that this fellow was only at the first stage of the Martial King, but he was actually so strong?


    In fact, even though Di Chen had broken through the first stage of the Martial King, his formula''s power was already unable to keep up with this realm. Blast Character Formula was nothing to Martial Monarch Level people, and the reason why Di Chen seemed so strong when using the Blast Character Formula earlier was simply because these two people were too weak.


    Fang Hong looked at Di Chen in disbelief and said: "You actually broke through the Martial King. Back then, you were together with my big brother when you were taking the examination for Sky Realm Academy."


    In Fang Hong''s opinion, even if Fang Xin was still alive, he would not be able to break through the Martial Monarch Level so quickly. And for Di Chen and Fang Xin, who had entered the Sky Realm Academy together, it was logically impossible to break through the Martial Monarch Level as well.


    Di Chen said calmly: "That year, your elder brother was always my enemy, and I was only forced by him to kill him, but it has already been a long time since this has happened, and there is no enmity between us, I do not wish to hurt you, if you continue to pester me, do not blame me for being impolite."


    After saying that, Di Chen pulled Jie Wei and left.


    How could Fang Hong be willing to give up? He roared at Di Chen''s back: "This is the Spirit Province, our Ling Family will not let you off. Di Chen, just wait for your death."


    Di Chen could not be bothered to care about Fang Hong, he pulled Jie Long and disappeared from Fang Hong''s sight, and after Di Chen left, Fang Hong regained his ability to move, immediately returning to the Fang family residence.


    The Family Head had only just reached the Martial Ancestor Realm, he was far inferior to Ning Fu, but Ning Fu would definitely not appear here.


    In the Fang family''s main hall.


    "Father ¡­" Fang Hong rushed into the hall, where a dozen or so people were currently seated. All of them were Fang Family elders, and some were from the Fang Family younger generation.


    "What is this panic?" Fang Rentian berated.


    Fang Hong anxiously said: "I saw my brother''s killer, he is currently in Spirit State City, and he just injured me."


    Hearing this, Fang Rentian immediately stood up, and said with narrowed eyes: "Back then Xin''er went to the Sky Realm Academy to cultivate, and later I received news that he was killed by a guy called Di Chen. Could it be that that person came here?"


    "That''s right," Fang Hong had a good relationship with Fang Xin, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and said: "I originally wanted to take revenge for big brother, but who would have thought that his cultivation had broken through Martial Monarch Level, and his cultivation was much stronger than mine."


    Fang Xin was the heir to the Fang family, and because he had died, the Fang family was unable to find another suitable successor. If Di Chen was not in Spirit State City, then it would be fine, but the Martial Region Continent was too big, he had no way to take revenge, but now that Di Chen had come, he would naturally not let him go.


    "Fang Xue, go and capture him." Fang Rentian looked at a woman around the age of twenty and said, "With your cultivation, it shouldn''t be difficult to capture him."


    This woman was dressed in a snow-white robe and her gaze was slightly cold. It gave off the feeling of an icy beauty with profound strength.


    Fang Xue said calmly: "Uncle, don''t worry, I will definitely capture this Di Chen and bring him back."


    Fang Rentian looked at Fang Hong and said: "You go with Fang Xue."


    "Yes," Fang Hong said before following him out.


    Back then, the Fang family focused on, but after Fang Xin died, they changed it to Fang Xue. Luckily, although Fang Xue was a woman, her talent was not weak, and her current cultivation was not weak either.


    Fang Xue did not immediately leave to find Di Chen, but instead went to another room. There was a woman cultivating in this room, if Di Chen was here, he would definitely be surprised, but that woman was Luo Yumeng.


    Although Luo Yumeng had appeared in the Millennium City, in truth, she was born in Spirit State City. It was only because she accidentally obtained the Sect Leader''s badge, but her identity was exposed, and she was seriously injured.


    "Yu Meng," Fang Xue said as she saw Luo Yumeng''s rare smile. "Have you finished cultivating?"


    Luo Yumeng spread open her hands to take a look, then laughed: "I have already broken through to the fourth level of the Martial King. It''s all thanks to you for this period of time, or else I would have definitely been killed by those people."


    Fang Xue chuckled: "We are friends, there''s no need to be so polite. Oh right, if you have nothing else, come with me for a bit, I have some things to do."


    Although Fang Xue''s personality was usually cold, she had become a little mischievous when facing Luo Yumeng. This was also because she was born in the Fang Family, the competition here was intense, and she had cultivated diligently since childhood. She could not pretend to be herself, and she could also show her true self in front of Luo Yumeng.


    Luo Yumeng and Fang Xue had known each other for a long time and their relationship was very good. She curiously laughed: "What is it, do you need my help for?"


    Fang Xue shook her head: "Actually it is not a big deal, when my brother went to the Sky Realm Academy to cultivate, he was killed by someone, and that person just happened to be in Spirit State, and just now he injured my family. Uncle told me to capture him, so he wanted you to accompany me there."


    "No problem," Luo Yumeng smiled, then followed Fang Xin out.


    The two of them brought Fang Hong and chased after Di Chen, but by then, Di Chen had already left Spirit State City, so catching up would not be easy.


    Luo Yumeng still did not know that the one Fang Xue wanted to kill was Di Chen. Although she had enmity with Di Chen, in reality, it could be considered that she owed Di Chen a debt of gratitude.

 C262

    "I never thought that I would encounter such trouble when I first came to Spirit State," Di Chen''s face was filled with distress. He was initially prepared to take back the Snow Sect medallion without attracting any attention, but now it seemed impossible.


    Di Chen and Jie Long hurriedly left Spirit State City, and after leaving, there were no more large cities. There were desolate mountains everywhere, and the population was dwindling.


    A barren mountain.


    This was one of the three great dangerous mountain ranges within Martial Region Continent. It was several hundred meters tall and stretched for several hundred kilometers, and was equally famous as Thousand Monster Mountain and mountain.


    "They have already left Spirit State City for four days. They should not be able to find me." Di Chen thought that he was quite far away from Spirit State City, and after going over that mountain, he would reach the territory of the Eastern Desolation, which was a place with many clans. Most people would not dare to go there, so Di Chen thought that it would be safer to go there, but passing through the mountain in front of them was not easy at all.


    Di Chen stood at the foot of the mountain, pulling Jie Long and said: "Right now, entering the Desolate Mountain is too dangerous, let''s first find a place to rest, and then start tomorrow."


    Jie Long nodded blankly. It could be seen that she was also very afraid of entering this barren mountain.


    Di Chen immediately went to a small village nearby. This village was not very big, with about dozens of families, and they were all ordinary people. Of course, there were some warriors, but the strongest among them were only Martial Kings.


    This village was different from the one Di Chen had met before. It seemed to not welcome Di Chen and Jie Long, as they all stared at Di Chen warily.


    "Di Chen..." At this moment, a surprised voice was suddenly heard.


    Di Chen turned his head and saw two people. They were Yu Qianyi and Fei Shuang.


    "It''s really you two?" When Di Chen was in Shuiyue Workshop, he seemed to have seen Yu Qianyi. It was just that the other party was walking too quickly, so Di Chen did not manage to see it clearly either.


    Yu Qianyi walked over and said excitedly: "I never expected to meet you again, why are you here, could it be that you are also from Spirit State City?"


    Di Chen met Yu Qianyi and the others at the wizard tower s, but they were not familiar with him. Di Chen had also never introduced himself, and they also did not know Di Zhe''s true identity.


    "I''m not," Di Chen said with a smile. "I''m just passing by. Right, why are you guys here?"


    Di Chen was born in the Ling''an City, which was the south of the Martial Region Continent, and was very far away from Spirit State.


    Yu Qianyi laughed: I am a citizen of Spirit State City, I frequently train in the Desolate Mountain, so this small village is a must pass through, so every time we will stay here, this time I am preparing to go with Fei Shuang, Yao Yao to the mountain to gather some herbs, I never expected to meet you, Di Chen, do you want to find a place to stay?


    Di Chen nodded his head, and laughed: "That''s good, I''m very familiar with this place, I''ll help you find a place."


    "Qianhui, this isn''t good. We still need to go to the mountains, we don''t have time to take care of others."


    Yu Qianyi had a good impression of Di Chen, but Fei Shuang did not really like Di Chen, all those years ago he did not agree with everyone lending their cultivation to Di Chen, and the rest of them agreeing, but in the end, only Yu Qianyi''s cultivation did not change at all, and he was not satisfied.


    Fei Shuang said unhappily: "I don''t think we need to bother with the affairs of outsiders."


    Jie Long heard Fei Shuang''s hostility towards Di Chen, and her eyes turned cold. She wanted to kill her, and if Di Chen did not control his, she would have really attacked him.


    Yu Qianyi also knew that Fei Shuang was still holding grudges from before, and laughed: "It''s fine, Di Chen, come with me."


    Di Chen was not polite with Yu Qianyi, he immediately followed Yu Qianyi and left, and upon seeing that, Fei Shuang did not say much.


    They arrived at the southeast corner of the village, where there was a relatively large courtyard with a few fruit trees growing in the middle. At this time, the fruit was ripe, and the trees were full of fruit, emitting an alluring fragrance. The environment here was very beautiful, and there were many rooms in the courtyard, which were usually for guests to use.


    Yu Qianyi arranged a room for Di Chen and Jie Qian respectively, and then pulled them along to chat with a customer. He looked at Jie Qian and asked curiously, "From her attire, she should be someone from the Eastern Desolation, right?"


    Di Chen laughed: "She''s from Eastern Desolation, I met her before in Youzhou. This time, I plan to go to Eastern Desolation''s clan and bring her back."


    "Go to the Eastern Desolation?" Yu Qianyi exclaimed: "Di Chen, that place is even more dangerous than a barren mountain, what are you doing there?"


    There were many tribes in the Eastern Desolation, such as the Witch race, as well as the cannibals, giants, dwarves and werewolves. These tribes were like primitive tribes that had not evolved yet, and were even more ferocious and terrifying than demonic beast. The people of Spirit State City dared to enter the wasteland to cultivate, but not many people dared to cross the desolate mountains to go to those tribes.


    Di Chen only knew that the territory of a clan was dangerous, but he had no idea how dangerous it was.


    "There are some things," Di Chen casually said, and did not explain why he was going there.


    Seeing that Di Chen did not want to say it, Yu Qianyi did not question him further, but he could tell that the thing that Di Chen was about to do should not be a small matter.


    "This is bad ¡­" Just then, a woman''s voice came from outside. The woman rushed in and was about to speak when she saw Di Chen.


    "Di Chen..." She was surprised for a moment, and the worry on her face turned into pleasant surprise. "Why are you here?"


    She was Yao Yao, and Yao Yao had a pretty good impression of her. She thought that she would never see her again in her life, but she never expected that she would appear here.


    Di Chen casually explained: "I was just passing by. Oh right, what happened to you just now that you were flustered?"


    "Aiya, I almost forgot." Only after hearing Di Chen''s reminder, did Yao Yao remember something important. She hurriedly said, "Thousand, not good, I met Hei Yu outside earlier, and he is still holding a grudge about what happened within the wizard tower, he wants to kill me."


    "How could I have met him?" Yu Qianyi''s face changed.


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows, he had some impression of the name Hei Yu. When he had just entered the wizard tower, Di Chen had met a person called Ruo Ling, he had wanted to trick Di Chen into fighting and exchange for points, but in the end, Di Chen had snatched all his points away. Ruo Ling was not convinced, and in the end, he had even found Hei Yu.


    Back then, although Luo Yumeng had helped Di Chen before, the problem was that Di Chen had killed her people, and had some grudges with her. This time, the two of them did not have any mutual interests, and Di Chen did not have anything that could threaten her.


    Luo Yumeng was the descendant of the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, so her talent shouldn''t be bad. Before, Di Chen didn''t have the confidence to defeat her, and now, he naturally didn''t either.


    Yu Qianyi immediately stood up and said: "Then he will definitely find us here. We need to quickly leave."


    Yao Yao was not worried this time and said disapprovingly: "With Di Chen here, what is there to be afraid of? Could he even beat Di Chen?"


    Yu Qianyi said seriously: "A battle that can be avoided is best not to fight head on with him. It will cause trouble for Di Chen and it will also bring us trouble.


    Di Chen had previously offended some people for Yu Qianyi''s sake, so now, he was too embarrassed to give Di Chen more trouble. Furthermore, Yu Qianyi could not guarantee that he could beat the other party.


    In fact, Di Chen thought the same way. He was not afraid of Hei Yu, but he really did not have the confidence to defeat him.


    Fei Shuang also didn''t want to owe Di Chen a favor, so she said: "Hiding is good, let''s go."


    A few of them packed their stuff and prepared to leave, but suddenly, Hei Yu and the rest appeared, leaving behind no time to leave.


    Beside Hei Yu was Ruo Ling, with a cultivation base at the seventh level of the Martial King realm. Beside them was a tall man, who was carrying an iron hammer on his back and wore beast skins.


    "Trying to run?" Hei Yu looked at Yao Yao with a playful smile: "Back then you guys stole my points from the wizard tower, causing me to suffer so much. I finally found you guys, and now you guys still want to leave?"


    Yu Qianyi said coldly: "The reason I was at the wizard tower was because you guys were too excessive, not to mention that so many years have passed, yet you still hold grudges over this matter?"


    Hei Yu snorted: "I still haven''t forgotten that back then, you not only stole my points, you also destroyed my martial soul, causing my cultivation to drop by a year, do you think I would let you off?"


    Normally, Hei Yu''s talent would have long ago surged with Martial Monarch Level, but he was still only using Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm now, and that was also because after the martial soul was destroyed, he had to cultivate once again for a period of time.


    Fei Shuang bellowed: You deserve it, you have already chased us for so long, and you still refuse to give up?


    All these years, Hei Yu had always been chasing and killing Fei Shuang, which was also why Fei Shuang was angry at him. Back then, Di Chen was the one who started a conflict with them, but now, these people were chasing after him.


    When she thought about how the martial soul was destroyed, Ruo Ling could not help but get angry. Until now, he still had not cultivated another martial soul and anxiously said: "Big Brother Hei Yu, why are you wasting words with them. Just directly kill them all."


    Hei Yu was too lazy to think anymore. He took a step forward and punched towards Yu Qianyi, wanting to kill him.


    However, at this moment, his body froze as an invisible force restrained him.


    "This is ¡­" This kind of situation was something that Hei Yu had experienced at the wizard tower. Back then, there was also someone who displayed this strange cultivation method, and he could still clearly remember it now.


    Just then, Di Chen walked out, and laughed: It was me who destroyed your martial soul, why didn''t you look for me instead of them?


    "It''s you ¡­" Although he really wanted to take revenge, he still remembered the terrifying nature of Di Chen.

 C263

    "You are Di Chen," Ruo Ling cried out in shock. Back then, Di Chen was the one who destroyed his martial soul.


    Di Chen laughed coldly, "I remember that you two seem to be Luo Yumeng''s people. Even though we can be considered to have a grudge, you guys still refused to let this matter go?"


    When they were at the wizard tower, Luo Yumeng had even helped Di Chen, so the two of them did not have much hatred towards each other today. However, Di Chen did not expect these two fellows to still be unwilling to give up, and actually shift the hatred onto Yu Qianyi and the others.


    "Di Chen, you have appeared at just the right time. I was just thinking about how I would take revenge on you, but who would have thought that you would send yourself to the door."


    At first, Hei Yu was a little afraid, but he quickly got excited. He looked at the person beside him and said: "Big brother Zang Gu, the person I spoke to you about before was him. Help me kill him."


    "Him?" Zang Gu squinted his eyes to look at Di Chen, and said: "I actually can''t see your spirit energy fluctuation, but I think you should be in Martial Monarch Level, and looking at the situation you probably just broke through, unfortunately, you are still too weak for me."


    When they heard about Martial Monarch Level, Yu Qianyi, Hei Yu and the rest were all shocked. Back then, Di Chen was in the same realm as them, but now, he actually surpassed them by a whole realm?


    Di Chen thought to himself, this guy''s eyesight is actually very good, to actually be able to see through his own realm. He didn''t pay attention to the shocked expression on everyone''s faces as he calmly said, "He indeed just broke through the Martial Monarch Level, you should be at the Martial King, right? I like to fight in a cross-border battle, and my realm was also lower than his when I destroyed Hei Yu''s martial soul."


    "You ¡­" Hei Yu almost cursed out loud when he heard this, this was naked ridicule.


    Zang Gu patted Hei Yu''s shoulder, signalling him not to be impulsive, he looked at Di Chen and said: "You are very arrogant, this is the Eastern Desolation, all you warriors and normal disciples are useless to me, I will give you a chance, cripple your own martial soul, maybe I can spare your life."


    Di Chen laughed without saying a word.


    Hei Yu knew that Di Chen was a literati and did not know that Di Chen had martial soul. He immediately explained: "He is not a warrior, he is a literati.


    "literati?" Zang Gu was shocked, the Eastern Desolation was a barbarian land and was not considered enlightened. There were too few scholars here, and he could not even see the literati, so when Zang Gu heard that it was the literati, he was surprised.


    Zang Gu looked at Di Chen with amusement: "Could it be that your body looks weaker than an ordinary person? Turns out you''re a literati, I have never fought with a literati before, so I want to see how strong you are."


    Yu Qianyi immediately said in a low voice: "Di Chen, this family is the barbarian race, you definitely can''t fight against them head on."


    The Eastern Desolation''s Barbarian Bone was most proficient at using strength, and this was precisely what Di Chen was the least proficient in. Furthermore, Di Chen was a martial king, so he naturally couldn''t win against him.


    At this time, Jie Qian pulled on Di Chen''s sleeves. Di Chen was half-squatting, and Jie Qian was echoing a few sentences into Di Chen''s ear.


    Jie Qian said that Zang Gu was from the Eastern Desolation''s wolf pack. This wolf pack used wolves as their totem, they were strong, fast, and were one of the strongest tribes in the Eastern Desolation.


    Zang Gu also did not give Di Chen much time to respond, he suddenly shot forward like an arrow, his fist fiercely smashing towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and extended his hand out.


    was right in the middle of this explosion. He was forced several steps back and a few pieces of flesh on his body were blown off, but it was obvious that they were both superficial wounds.


    "Huh?" Zang Gu was slightly shocked as he laughed: "I never thought that your power would not be weak. You really do have some strength, no wonder you can destroy Hei Yu''s martial soul."


    Di Chen was also secretly surprised, the Blast Character Formula was his strongest move, yet it had only blown his opponent''s skin and wounds?


    Seeing that, Hei Yu laughed out loud: "Seems like you are only so-so. I wonder if you still have some luck with the wizard tower this time?"


    Ruo Ling said proudly: "Brother Zang Gu, quickly kill him. This guy is in a very sorry state."


    Zang Gu stretched his arms a little, then slowly walked toward Di Chen.


    Di Chen knew that this was going to be tricky, and immediately said to Yu Qianyi and the rest: "All of you, back off."


    This was the first time Yu Qianyi was being serious, and one could tell that even Di Chen did not have full confidence in winning. The three of their faces changed, but this time, they were afraid of danger.


    Zang Gu leaped up once again, and smashed his fist towards Di Chen again. The berserk energy smashed down like a mountain.


    Di Chen quickly took out three pieces of paper with the word "explode" on it and threw them out at the same time.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Zang Gu was right in the middle of the explosion, but he was not injured like before. He went through the explosion area and landed a punch on Di Chen''s chest.


    Di Chen only felt as if his entire body was struck by a huge force, and was sent flying. He tumbled a dozen or so times, and then vomited a mouthful of blood.


    "Di Chen..." Yu Qianyi was surprised, he never thought that Di Chen would be unable to bear one of Zang Gu''s attacks.


    Jie Qian looked at Di Chen with a face of worry, then looked at Zang Gu with a face full of hatred, but she did not act rashly.


    "Will you also have this day? Weren''t you very proud when you crippled our martial soul back then?"


    Seeing that Di Chen had been injured, Hei Yu could not help but become excited, and laughed out loud: "Last time, we wanted what you owed us back."


    Di Chen glanced at Hei Zi and was too lazy to bother with him. Di Chen had always been thinking of ways to break through to the Emperor Realm, but he did not cultivate any new formula, so he did not have the corresponding strength for the new realm. This was the reason why Di Chen was not in a rush to break through.


    Since Di Chen could not even kill his strongest Blast Character Formula, then there was really no other way.


    Just then, Zang Gu took another step towards Di Chen, wielding his hammer and smashing fiercely towards him. With the power of the fist, Di Chen''s Blast Character Formula would definitely not be able to block it, but if he was struck by the fist, Di Chen would definitely die.


    Di Chen''s expression changed, he did not know how to withstand this attack.


    "Di Chen..." Yu Qianyi and the rest were all shocked, but they could not save Di Chen, and did not know what to do.


    But when Zang Gu was right in front of him, he felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his leg, as if he was being pierced by needles. Zang Gu''s legs did not stop moving, and he fell straight to the ground.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen was startled. He turned around and saw Jie Long holding a scarecrow in his hand, with a needle in his hand and a scarecrow in his hands. This was the Curse Technique of Jie Long.


    This scene shocked Hei Yu and the rest, Zang Gu actually fell down at this moment?


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" and threw it in front of him. Since Zang Gu was lying right in front of him, he couldn''t resist at all.


    Bang!


    With an explosion, one of Zang Gu''s arm was directly blown away and fresh blood gushed out.


    Zang Gu let out a blood-curdling scream, quickly got up, and retreated, pulling some distance away from Di Chen.


    "Big brother Zang Gu, what happened just now?" Hei Yu looked at Zang Gu in shock.


    Zang Gu''s gaze suddenly fell on Jie Qian, squinted and said: "Just now it was you who did this, you are from Witch race right?"


    It was obvious that it had nothing to do with Di Chen just now, and Zang Gu had also noticed the scarecrow that Jie Yu was holding, the only thing that people could not guard against was Witch race''s evil technique.


    "Witch race?" Hei Yu had also heard of the Witch race before, and his face was full of surprise. Could it be that Zang Gu fell just now, the Witch race was an expert in evil arts?


    It was said that the people of the Witch race were very evil, why would she follow Di Chen?


    Di Chen sneered: "You don''t have to care whether she''s Witch race or not. The current you are not our match, scram."


    Zang Gu squinted his eyes, although he was not afraid of Witch race, he was injured, fighting with Witch race would be disadvantageous for him, he did not dare stay, and looked at Hei Yu: "Let''s go."


    Hei Yu was startled: "Big brother Zang Gu, are we going to let them go just like that?"


    Ruo Ling was also unsatisfied. "It wasn''t easy to find them this time. If we let them go, it''ll be difficult to kill them in the future."


    Zang Gu was already injured, so if they were to fight again, even he himself would be in danger. However, Hei Yu and Ruo Ling actually didn''t realize that Hei Yu was going to fight them?


    "If you want to die, you can go. I won''t stop you."


    Zang Gu was a little angry, and directly left while ignoring them.


    Hei Yu clenched his teeth, and eventually left as well.


    "We can''t let them leave," Fei Shuang said in a hurry. "Di Chen, these guys will definitely come and cause trouble for us in the future.


    Di Chen said calmly: "I''m also injured, I can''t kill them."


    Fei Shuang said angrily, "You still have the help of the Witch race, how can you not kill them?


    Di Chen coldly looked at Fei Shuang, killing intent gushing out. She was not lightly injured, and just now, she had almost died. Even though she had Jie Yuan, she did not have the confidence to kill Zang Gu, but this Fei Shuang still wanted to fight on his own?


    Being looked at like this by Di Chen, Fei Shuang''s expression changed, and she subconsciously retracted her gaze.


    Yu Qianyi hurriedly said, "Di Chen, don''t blame him. We have been chased by Hei Yu and the others the entire time, and the reason why Fei Shuang is so angry."


    Di Chen was also too lazy to bother with Fei Shuang, and calmly replied: "It''s fine, let''s leave this place first, they will definitely return."


    Di Chen had already lost to Zang Gu just now, if not for Jie Long, he might have already killed him, but the opponent would still come back, and at that time, even if there were Jie Long, it would not be useful. Di Chen had to think of a way to raise his strength before he came back.


    Yu Qianyi said worriedly: "There''s no place to hide around here."


    Yao Yao immediately suggested: "How about this, we will go to the Desolate Mountain. As long as we don''t go too deep, it will be fine.


    It was almost night time. Right now, going to the barren mountain was very dangerous, but staying in the village was even more dangerous. Everyone thought for a moment and decided to go to the barren mountain anyway.


    Di Chen thought that although the Desolate Mountain had many demonic beast, it was indeed a good place for cultivation.

 C264

    "Not good," Zang Gu''s face changed, he had never expected Fei Shuang''s corpse to attack so suddenly, not expecting it at all, he was directly struck and flew backwards.


    "Hmm?" Fang Xue took a step forward and used a Spirit Sword s to stab into Fei Shuang''s corpse.


    But Fei Shuang acted as if she did not sense it, and threw another punch at Fang Xue.


    "What''s going on?" Fang Xue quickly pulled out her Spirit Sword and retreated. She had almost been killed just now.


    Luo Yumeng noticed that Fei Shuang''s eyes were unfocused, as though she was dead, she could immediately see the reason, and shouted: "Fang Xue, this Fei Shuang has already been turned into a corpse puppet, he cannot be killed, I can only freeze him."


    She slapped her palm against Fei Shuang''s body, and Fei Shuang''s body instantly froze into ice, like an ice sculpture, she didn''t budge an inch.


    "This Di Chen is actually plotting against us, he deserves to die." Fang Xue knew that this must be a trick left behind by Di Chen.


    Zang Gu crawled up from the ground and said angrily: "This guy really deserves to die, I will definitely kill him."


    After all, Fei Shuang only had Martial King Realm, so even if they sneaked an attack on him, they wouldn''t be able to kill him. It was just that that fist just now had injured Zang Gu, causing his strength to drop greatly.


    Fang Xue released the Celestial Demon Mouse and said, "Looks like he knows that we must follow him. She reckoned that they should be somewhere nearby, so we need to hurry up and chase them."


    That year, Di Chen had killed Fang Xin, and just now, he had killed Fang Hong. Now, he had used the Heart Eating Bug to ambush everyone.


    At the same time.


    Di Chen and Jie Wei headed in the same direction, and after crossing the Desolate Mountain, they would reach the Eastern Desolation. They would meet with many barbarian race s and it would be even more dangerous, but it was truly the only chance for Di Chen to survive.


    "Di Chen, they are too fast, we can''t get rid of them."


    However, Di Chen was different from Jie Long. While escaping, they still had to be wary of those demonic beast s, and if this continued, they would be caught as soon as possible.


    Di Chen thought that they should have already found Fei Shuang''s body, and asked: "Did those Heart Eating Insects of yours hurt them?"


    Jie Qian said: "He injured Zang Gu, his strength decreased greatly, but the other two Martial King s were not injured."


    Di Chen had originally hoped that one of the Heart Devouring Bug could be killed, but he didn''t expect that only one person could be injured. This was far from what he had expected.


    "Since we can''t escape, then we won''t run. We might as well fight with them here."


    Di Chen stopped. This place was filled with trees and was very suitable for hiding.


    Di Chen took out a piece of paper with the word tortoise on it. This was a tortoise formula, able to turn a person into a tortoise, but it would take a lot of time to use it. The opponent would definitely not give Di Chen enough time to use it, so whether he could successfully turn a person into a tortoise was the key.


    He buried the note under a pile of hay, and at the same time, he carved the words "Overtone" and "Gun" in some hidden places on the tree. Then he had Jie Long draw a ghost formation not far away, similarly covering it with hay. Finally, the two of them hid in the darkness and waited for the other to arrive.


    A few minutes later, Fang Xue, Luo Yumeng and Zang Gu caught up.


    "She''s here too?" had interacted with Luo Yumeng before, but she had never thought that Luo Yumeng would also come here. He had never had the confidence that she would be able to defeat Luo Yumeng, and as for Fang Xue, although she did not know her identity, she could guess that it would be bad. did not have the confidence that these three people could come here at the same time.


    Fang Xue and the other two stopped and looked around quietly.


    "Their aura has disappeared. I think they must be nearby."


    Fang Xue shouted in all directions: "Di Chen, I know you must be hiding here, and you still want to ambush us? Quickly come out and die."


    Di Chen''s power from the scholars gushed into the spear words, pikes shooting down from the tree trunk like rain.


    With the Spirit Sword blocking them, the might of the Spear Arts was actually not too strong. Naturally, it did not cause too much damage to the three of them.


    "Is it there?" Using this move, Zang Gu was able to determine Di Chen''s position. He immediately raised his hammer and smashed towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen did not dare to fight Zang Gu head on, and immediately jumped away. Just as Di Chen was about to retreat, Zang Gu''s hammer smashed into the ground, causing a huge hole in the ground, which shook violently.


    Zang Gu did not continue attacking, he looked at Di Chen and muttered: "As expected of here, you have caused me so much trouble along the way."


    Di Chen laughed coldly: "It was you who chased me the entire way, you can''t blame anyone else. I didn''t think that your luck was good, you actually didn''t die."


    Originally, he thought that he could kill Zang Gu, but in the end, he still survived. Fortunately, Zang Gu was currently injured and Di Chen had a chance to defeat him.


    Zang Gu said: "Killing me won''t be that easy. Previously, you used this witch to ambush me, but this time, I won''t be as careless. Can you still kill me? Furthermore, I am not the only Martial King in this city. "


    Di Chen frowned, then looked at Fang Xue, and asked: "Who are you?"


    Fang Xue said in a low voice: "You killed my big brother Fang Xin, and you killed my third brother Fang Hong, who do you think I am?"


    "So it''s a member of the Fang Family," Di Chen guessed that she was a member of the Fang Family. He thought to himself that the Fang Family had not given up on killing him, so Di Chen did not mind the Fang Family.


    Di Chen looked at Luo Yumeng and frowned: "All the grievances and grudges we had at the wizard tower have been sold, why are you here looking for trouble with me?"


    Luo Yumeng laughed: "Fang Xue and I are friends, she wants to kill you. I''m only accompanying her, but I won''t make a move."


    Di Chen saw through her thoughts immediately, and said: "If I were to be killed by her, you wouldn''t do it, but if I were to kill her, you would definitely stop me, right?"


    Luo Yumeng laughed but did not speak. She and Fang Xue had known each other for a long time, so of course she would not watch as Fang Xue was killed.


    Di Chen thought that at least Luo Yumeng would not casually make her move, it looks like she still had a chance, that was to say, Luo Yumeng would not mind when she killed Zang Gu, if she could kill Fang Xue while Luo Yumeng had no time to think, then her chance of survival would be even greater.


    "Why are you blabbering so much? Go to hell."


    Zang Gu leaped up and raised his sledgehammer to smash towards Di Chen. His speed was extremely fast, and his strength was high, so if he were to smash into Di Chen, he would definitely die.


    "Not good," Di Chen said as he quickly retreated. Zang Gu landed in the same place as Di Chen and nearly smashed him to death.


    "You run pretty fast, let''s see how long you can run." Zang Gu raised his sledgehammer again and smashed towards Di Chen.


    Just as he was about to leave, a ghost claw suddenly extended out from the subterranean and grabbed his body, pulling him towards the subterranean with all his might.


    "There''s a Ghost Bending Formation here," Zang Gu just noticed that there was actually a drawn on array on the ground.


    Being tied up by the ghost gifting array was extremely difficult to escape from, Zang Gu was unable to break free, he could only feel his own body slowly fusing into his body, and to his delight, he immediately looked at Fang Xue and the other two and shouted: "Quickly, save me!"


    Fang Xue hurriedly summoned her Spirit Sword and charged towards Zang Gu, wanting to rescue him.


    "Tortoise," Di Chen made another incantation, but just as Fang Xue was about to move, her body suddenly twisted, and she turned into a tortoise.


    Di Chen had previously placed the piece of paper with the word tortoise on top of it, using the tortoise formula would take a lot of time, so when Di Chen was speaking, he had already secretly unleashed his powers, but Fang Xue did not know that it was because he could not feel the power of a scholar.


    Luo Yumeng obviously would not just sit by and watch as Zang Gu was grabbed by the subterranean, and rushed over with a single step.


    Di Chen said angrily: "Luo Yumeng, didn''t you say you wouldn''t interfere?"


    Luo Yumeng replied seriously: "I did say that, but I won''t just sit by and watch you kill Zang Gu."


    "Wind," Di Chen had long guessed that she wouldn''t stay out of his thoughts. He then made another hand sign, and a six meter long wind blade descended from a tree, straight at Luo Yumeng.


    Luo Yumeng could tell that the wind blades were much stronger than the Spear Arts s, she immediately brandished a Spirit Sword and welcomed the wind blades, with a chi sound, the wind blades were scattered by her, but Luo Yumeng was also pushed back a few steps by the terrifying force.


    "Big sister, quickly save me," although Zang Gu was very strong, half of his body had already been pulled into the subterranean.


    Luo Yumeng also knew that if she did not save him now, it would be too late.


    Di Chen also formed a seal, and the wind blades fell down from the tree trunk one by one. Every time the sword qi collided with the wind blades, there would be sounds of explosions in the forest, and with the spread of the energy ripples, the originally lush forest was destroyed again. Luo Yumeng was unable to break through the wind blades for a while to save Luo Yumeng.


    "This Luo Yumeng is really strong," Di Chen noticed that the time for the turtle formula was almost up, but Zang Gu had yet to completely enter the subterranean, and by the time Fang Xue returned to her human form, it would be too late, so he quickly looked at Jie Gong and said: "Quickly drag Zang Gu into hell."


    She looked a little pale, but the speed at which Zang Gu was being pulled into the subterranean was even faster.


    "Ah ¡­" Zang Gu let out a blood-curdling screech, and was finally pulled into the subterranean. It was also at this time that Fang Xue changed back into her human form.


    "Zang Gu also died?" Fang Xue was horrified. She squinted her eyes as she looked at Di Chen, and with a flip of her hand, a Ice Sword formed and slashed at Di Chen.


    Before they even reached it, they could feel a surge of cold air gushing towards them. It was as if the air itself had been frozen.


    At this time, Di Chen and Luo Yumeng were fighting to the point where they were unable to determine each other, so how could he care about Fang Xue.


    Jie Wei took out his Method of travelling and a large snake suddenly scuttled out from the grass, opening its mouth, it tried to bite Fang Xue.


    Fang Xue''s sword strike landed on the huge snake''s body, with a pu sound, the huge snake was sliced into two, and continued to slash towards Di Chen.


    Jie Wei took out another bottle, and a large number of poisonous bugs flew out, floating towards Fang Xue.


    Fang Xue struck out with his palm, and a cold air came out of it. Wherever the cold air passed, those poisonous bugs were immediately frozen, and then fell down from the sky.

 C265

    Fang Xue''s speed did not decrease, she quickly rushed to the front of Di Chen and slashed with her sword.


    Di Chen immediately used his Wind formula and used a huge Wind Blade to welcome Fang Xue. Her Wind Blade struck the wind blade and with a hiss, the wind blade dissipated, but Fang Xue was forced to take a few steps back.


    "You two, don''t go overboard," Di Chen said in a low voice. He was angry at being chased by two people again and again.


    Fang Xue snorted: "You killed a member of our Fang family, and you still want us to forget about it?"


    Di Chen roared: The reason I killed them is also because they took the initiative to provoke me. Your Fang Family has no end.


    Back then, when he killed Fang Xin, Di Chen knew that he had offended the Spirit State Fang Family. It was just that he thought that he would not come to the Spirit State, and was truly unlucky to be chased by the Spirit Realm. In reality, however, this was something that the Fang Family had instigated, and Di Chen had some grudges with the Mo Family previously, but the Mo Family was not as unreasonable as the Fang Family, and this was the first time Di Chen was this angry.


    Fang Xue once again slashed at Di Chen. "If you want to destroy our Fang Family, then you have to kill me first."


    Di Chen still had a chance to deal with one of them, but dealing with both Fang Xue and Fang Xue at the same time was simply not a match for them at all, and this time, Luo Yumeng did not plan to just stand there and watch.


    "Whiz!"


    However, at this moment, a spiritual arrow suddenly shot out from the forest. It was a wooden arrow, but it was very fast.


    "Not good." Fang Xue never thought that there would be a sneak attack, she immediately used her sword to block the wooden arrow.


    Ding! The wooden arrow was powerful, the moment Fang Xue''s spirit arrow touched the wooden arrow, it bounced off. The wooden arrow pierced through Fang Xue''s shoulder and brought her flying backwards, sliding for over 10 metres on the ground.


    "Who?" Luo Yumeng suddenly looked towards the direction of where the arrow came from, at that moment, five men dressed in beast skin robes walked out, all of them had pitch black skin, their hair was tied up in braids, there were seashells on their bodies, there were some stripes on their bodies, and they were holding onto wooden bows.


    "It''s someone from the poor race, big brother Di Chen, run," Jie Long obviously recognized this tribe, he did not care about Luo Yumeng and the rest as he pulled Di Chen and ran.


    When Luo Yumeng and Fang Xue heard that, their expressions also changed slightly. They no longer had the time to kill Di Chen as they headed in another direction.


    poor race was one of the barbarian race, and was good at riding and shooting. Although they did not know any techniques, the power of the arrows were very strong, and every single person who made a sound already had the strength of Martial King Realm, so much so that the adult man could easily kill the five Demon Emperor with one arrow. These five people were not weak, Fang Xue was injured, and naturally could not win against them.


    "You still want to run away?" The leader of the poor race looked to be a teenager. He held a black wooden bow and an arrow basket on her back as she pointed at the two of them and said, "You two go chase those two people. You two follow me to chase those two women."


    The two men immediately headed towards Di Chen and Jie Long, while the young man brought the two of them towards Fang Xue and Luo Yumeng. Although the people from barbarian race had never cultivated before, their speed was exceptionally fast, like a wild beast shuttling through the forest.


    Di Chen and Jie Long were originally not fast, how could they escape from these barbarian race who spent all their time hunting in the wasteland?


    The two of them shot their arrows towards Di Chen. Fortunately, they were in the forest, their arrows were blocked by the lush forest and were unable to hit Di Chen.


    Di Chen knew clearly that it would be better to fight face to face with the enemy if he continued to run. He immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "Wind" written on it, and threw it on the ground.


    The two poor race continued to chase them, but when the two of them passed by the slip of paper, Di Chen immediately formed a seal, and a wind blade shot out.


    Because a poor race cultivator happened to step on that piece of paper, and was unable to dodge the wind blade, the wind blade slid past the person''s body and directly sliced them in half.


    "One dead," Di Chen was pleasantly surprised, thinking that these barbarian race people were not warriors, although they were good at riding and shooting, their defense towards cultivation techniques were very low.


    The other poor race disciple did not run. She immediately pulled his bow open, and placed a wooden arrow on the bow.


    The arrow was fast and strong, Di Chen only felt a sharp wind blowing towards him.


    He immediately formed a hand seal with his hand and sent the wooden arrow flying. The wooden arrow clashed with the wind blade, and with a boom, the wind blade dissipated, but the wooden arrow did not shatter, although its power had decreased slightly, it still hit Di Chen''s shoulder, and flew out with Di Chen, smashing into the ground with a loud thud, as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Di Chen pushed himself off the ground and stood up, then pulled out the wooden arrow. It was just an ordinary wooden arrow, but its power was stronger than many people''s spirit arrows, and only the Eastern Desolation s could pull out such a powerful arrow.


    The poor race quickly rushed towards Di Chen, took out a curved blade and slashed at him. Di Chen had exhausted a lot of his strength in his battle with Fang Xue earlier, and now that he was injured, how could he possibly defend against the man again?


    At this time, Jie Long took a step forward in front of Di Chen, took out a small bottle and released a large number of poisonous bugs that floated towards the person of poor race.


    "Witch race?" That person also immediately recognized Jie Duo''s identity, but he wasn''t afraid. He took out a horn, blew it, and a series of humming noises came from the mouth. This sound was deafening, and those poisonous bugs fell down from the sky.


    Jie Qian and Di Chen couldn''t stand this voice, both of them covered their ears, their bodies looked like they were about to explode.


    This was a horn made from the horns of Eastern Desolation''s demonic beast, the sound was very loud, and would cause very serious harm to humans. Especially for Platycodon, it was unbearable, and her eyes and nose were almost bleeding.


    Di Chen resisted the urge to cry as he took out a slip of paper with the word "Wind" written on it and a "Turtle" written on it and threw it out.


    The man immediately drew his bow and shot one arrow after another. Each arrow could pierce through a wind blade. His shooting speed was extremely fast, and the wind blades were unable to harm him at all.


    "It''s useless. These cultivation techniques of yours can''t kill me."


    The poor race laughed: "You warriors are weak, how can you compare to us poor race?"


    "Tortoise," Di Chen shouted loudly without waiting for him to finish. The person''s body twisted and then immediately turned into a tortoise.


    Di Chen took the opportunity to write the word wind, the wind blade slashed across the tortoise''s body and directly cut it in half. After killing it, the person turned back into a tortoise.


    "He''s finally dead," Di Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The strong poor race was harder to deal with than a warrior like Fang Xue.


    Jie Qian ran to Di Chen''s side and asked worriedly: "Big Brother Di Chen, how are you?"


    Di Chen pulled out the arrow, took out another pill and swallowed it, then laughed: "Everything is fine, we will rest for a while, let''s leave here first."


    Jie Qian helped Di Chen up and helped him leave. The other two poor race s went to chase after Fang Xue and the others.


    After that, Di Chen released the small fruit and let it lead the way, finding a safe place to stay for the time being. An hour later, Di Chen found another cave.


    entered the cave. Previously, he had only simply recovered from his injuries, but this time, he took out the Demoness Pill and got Jie Long to help guard the cave. He then began to refine the pill, and after an hour, Di Chen''s injuries were finally fully recovered.


    Six hours later, Di Chen finally recovered the power of a scholar. He noticed that Jie Wei was still guarding the entrance of the cave, walked over and said: "It''s been hard on you, hurry up and rest up."


    Jie Qian nodded his head blankly. She was a witch, she did not need to recover her spirit energy like the warriors, nor did she need to recover her powers like the literati, she only needed to rest and have the energy to do so.


    She laid down and slept at the corner of the cave, while Di Chen guarded the entrance of the cave. Jie Qian did not know how long he had to rest, so Di Chen did not waste any time.


    Absorbing his flesh and blood was not easy. Before, Di Chen did not have time, but now, he could finally slowly raise his strength as a warrior.


    As the Ghost Wolf meat entered Di Chen''s body, Di Chen''s strength also became increasingly stronger. When half of the Ghost Wolf meat was absorbed, Di Chen clearly felt that his body seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and his strength could not increase by even a single step.


    "The Martial King Realm has already been saturated, they are reaching the edge of the Martial Monarch Level."


    Di Chen took out another Body Refinement Pellet. Every time a warrior broke through to a new realm, they would have to swallow a Body Refinement Pellet.


    When the Body Refinement Pellet entered Di Chen''s body, he felt as if his body was being pressured by a strange power, and streams of black liquid overflowed from Di Chen''s body. These were the impurities from his body.


    After an hour, the Body Refinement Pellet was finally completely absorbed by Di Chen. Di Chen looked at his own body and a terrible stench immediately caused him to walk out of the cave. He found a small stream nearby and washed his body before returning to the cave to continue absorbing the remaining ghost wolf meat.


    This time, Di Chen absorbed the energy much faster than before. After an hour, the ghost wolf''s flesh and blood was completely absorbed by Di Chen, which meant that just absorbing the spirit wolf''s flesh and blood was obviously not enough.


    Absorbing the Demonic Core was a bit more difficult, it took Di Chen four hours to absorb the Demonic Core from the Ghostly Wolf.


    "I''ve finally broken through," Di Chen said as he felt his own strength. Previously, when he was near Di Chen, he had to flee, because this was not good for Di Chen, but now it was different.


    In fact, the power of a scholar alone was not considered astonishing enough for Di Chen. Many warriors could kill him, but the power of a warrior was different. With the combination of the two, Di Chen could fight those who were a few levels stronger.


    Now, even if he met Fang Xue himself, he was confident that he would be able to kill her. However, Luo Yumeng was still very dangerous.

 C266

    One day later.


    Jie Long finally woke up. After sleeping for the whole day, his spirit had recovered, and his face was flushed red.


    Di Chen walked over and smiled: "Jie Qian, you''re awake?"


    Jie Long nodded his head in a daze and said: "I have recovered my spirit, Di Chen, have they come looking for me yet?"


    Di Chen laughed: "This place is very dangerous, I believe we won''t be able to find us here. Since you have already recovered, let''s go, let''s quickly leave this place."


    Although Di Chen had already broken through the Martial Monarch Level, his strength was not stable, he still had to kill a few more Demon Emperor s to raise his strength, and completely consolidate his current realm.


    The two of them left the cave, but Di Chen did not immediately go to Eastern Desolation. Instead, he went to the mountain and hunted down Demon Emperor, on one hand, to increase his battle experience, and on the other hand, to consolidate his cultivation level.


    Not long after Di Chen left the cave, he saw a Scarlet Demon Snake, which was a common red snake. This type of snake was of the fire attribute and it could spit fire, but it did not have poison.


    Di Chen said as he handed over the word "Wind", the word turning into a wind blade and shooting towards the red snake.


    The red snake also noticed the wind blade, and immediately spat out a fireball to welcome the wind blade. Puff, the fireball was directly destroyed by the wind blade, but the wind blade did not disappear, following that, a few wind blades continued to strike at the red snake, directly slicing it into two, causing the red snake to fall into a pool of blood.


    "It''s that easy?" Di Chen raised his eyebrows, although the wind formula was powerful, he should not have been able to kill it so easily.


    Jie Long said, "This Wind Blade is a fire attribute cultivation technique, and it just so happens to be able to restrain the fire attribute cultivation technique, which is why I was able to kill it so easily."


    When Di Chen heard this, he suddenly realized the reason why this Wind formula did not have such power when dealing with Fang Xue previously. He ran over to collect the red snake''s corpse and continued to search for it.


    Di Chen walked for another two hours before seeing a demonic beast with red fur all over its body. This demonic beast was around ten meters tall, had a single horn on its head, two tails, and eyes as big as lanterns. It looked like it could stand by itself.


    Jie Qian warned Di Chen in a low voice: "Di Chen, this demonic beast is very powerful and is very dangerous. You have to be careful."


    Di Chen nodded, carefully wrote a word of wind, and then sent a wind blade flying towards the demonic beast.


    The Savage Blood Beast suddenly looked at the wind blade and threw a punch at it. The wind blade turned into a gust of wind and dispersed, but the Savage Blood Beast was not injured at all.


    "How powerful," Di Chen was secretly surprised. Not only was the Violent Blood Beast strong, its skin was also very tough.


    The Violent Blood Beast was stirred up by Di Chen, and with a leap, it jumped more than ten meters into the air, then landed back on the ground again, clenching its fists and smashing down.


    "So fast!" Whether it was speed or strength, this Violent Blood Beast seemed to far exceed that of ordinary s. Di Chen thought to himself that it seemed that he had chosen a troublesome opponent, and this time, he did not retreat, but clenched his fists to face the Violent Blood Beast. He wanted to see how strong this Violent Blood Beast really was.


    Bang!


    After the two fists collided, Di Chen felt his arm go numb, then his body sank, and the ground was smashed apart. Di Chen was directly trapped within the subterranean, and rubble flew everywhere.


    Di Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body seemed to have fallen apart.


    This time, it directly smashed onto Di Chen''s chest, sending him flying. He rolled over a dozen times on the ground before stopping.


    Woo woo ¡­ *


    The Violent Blood Beast let out a few cries, as if it was mocking Di Chen. This time, it did not take advantage of''s movements and gave chase.


    "Big Brother Di Chen," Jie Long''s face was filled with worry, wanting to release the Insect Gu to help Di Chen.


    "Don''t come over," Di Chen shouted. "Even though this Violent Blood Beast is powerful, I have my own ways of dealing with it."


    This was a good opportunity to gain experience, and Di Chen did not want to miss it.


    "Then be careful," Jie Long obediently retreated.


    Di Chen supported himself up on the ground and took out a piece of paper with the word "Wind" written on it and stuck it out. Actually, Di Chen''s current technique was very simple, in the Heavenly Classic, only the turtle formula and the wind formula could use it. The other formula s were already unable to deal with the Demon Emperor, but Di Chen would not use the turtle formula.


    After doing all this, Di Chen rushed towards the Violent Blood Beast, punching towards it with his fist. The Violent Blood Beast was actually fighting with its strength, and as Di Chen attacked it, he would also find an opportunity to unleash his Wind formula.


    "A good chance," Di Chen suddenly noticed that the demonic beast had appeared, and the power of the scholar immediately flowed into one of the slips of paper.


    A wind blade shot out from the slip of paper. This angle was very tricky, and the savage beast had no way of resisting it.


    However, at this moment, the violent blood fiend suddenly extended its tail and struck the wind blade. With a ''chi'' sound, the wind blade scattered.


    "That powerful?" Di Chen was surprised, why was this Violent Blood Beast as agile as a human, Di Chen pinched his Method of travelling repeatedly.


    The wind blades from the paper slip shot out. The savage beast jumped around to avoid the wind blades while at the same time using its tail to attack the wind blades, yet none of these wind blades were able to harm it.


    Di Chen took this opportunity to smash his fist out, and his strength transformed into a stream of sword Qi that shot towards the Violent Blood Beast.


    The violent blood fiend blocked the wind blade and did not have time to think. The sword qi was like a violent blood fiend''s body, leaving behind many bloody holes. Blood gushed out like an open faucet, and the violent blood fiend fell into the pool.


    Di Chen let out a long breath of air, thinking to himself, this Violent Blood Beast is really strong, I was almost killed by it.


    Jie Qian ran over and asked worriedly: "Big Brother Di Chen, how are you?"


    Di Chen put away the Violent Blood Beast''s corpse and laughed: "It''s fine, let''s continue."


    Di Chen spent the rest of the time hunting Demon Emperor in the mountains. Ordinary Demon Emperor s were nothing to Di Chen, after a day, he killed over a dozen First Rank Demon Emperor s, but Di Chen did not try to kill any of the Second Rank Demon Emperor s.


    "I wonder how much power these Demon Emperor''s blood fiends can increase."


    Di Chen thought, he did not continue to kill the Demon Emperor, but found a place to absorb the Demon Emperor''s flesh and blood. In just an hour, most of the Demon Emperor''s flesh and blood were absorbed by him, and after absorbing the flesh and blood, Di Chen would be able to kill a level one Demon Emperor.


    "This Violent Blood Beast is the strongest, a demonic beast unique to the Desolate Mountain. I wonder how much its flesh can increase my strength."


    Di Chen cut open the blood fiend of the savage beast, grabbed the blood and flesh of the demonic beast and started to channel the power of the scholar within his body.


    The flesh and blood of the Blood Tyrant Beast merged into Di Chen''s body, but the speed was very slow. Just as a sliver of the flesh and blood assimilated into Di Chen''s body, he felt a powerful force entering his own body.


    "It has increased by so much?" Di Chen felt that this strand of flesh was like that of a Demon Emperor.


    Afterwards, Di Chen felt as if his body was sucking out the flesh and blood of a berserk beast. His strength was increasing at a speed which could be seen with the naked eye, but it was the first time Di Chen''s strength had increased so quickly.


    Two hours later, Di Chen finally finished absorbing the piece of Demonic beast flesh and blood in his hand. His strength had already increased by two times compared to before, and this was only a small part of the savage beast''s flesh.


    Thinking about it this way, Di Chen became a little excited and expectant, during this period of time, Di Chen was crazily absorbing the savage beast''s energy.


    Five days later!


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen let out a long breath, raised his hand and looked at his own strength. He could feel that his strength had increased by at least ten times.


    "I wonder how strong he really is." Di Chen walked out of the cave, clenched his fist, and directly punched the ground. With a loud bang, a large crater of several meters was formed on the ground, and even the ground shook a little.


    "So strong?" This power caused Di Chen to be shocked, he thought that if he were to come across the Violent Blood Beast again, he would probably be able to kill it with a punch, and even kill Demon Emperor s of the second level with ease.


    Jie Wei said in a daze: "Big Brother Di Chen, you''re so strong now."


    Di Chen laughed and said: "My power has already been consolidated, even if Fang Xue comes now, I am not afraid. I have finished cultivating, let''s go to your tribe."


    Hearing these words, Jie Long immediately hesitated, and said: "Big Brother Di Chen, do you really want to go?"


    Earlier, Di Chen had heard from Jie Long that there seemed to be some kind of misunderstanding between the people of the Witch race about Jie Qian. Her father had been killed by someone, and someone had stolen her father''s Patriarch position.


    "It''s fine," Di Chen smiled as he comforted his. "I won''t let anything happen to you."


    Jie Wei originally had some hesitation, but after hearing Di Chen''s comforting words, his mood immediately became a lot better.


    Only then did Di Chen leave with Jie Long, heading in another direction towards the Desolate Mountain, and after going over the Desolate Mountain, he would reach Eastern Desolation.


    The two previous people did not dare to recall their footsteps, but now, Di Chen did not need to worry. It was as if the Demon Emperor could feel Di Chen''s power, and did not dare to approach him.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen didn''t know how long he had been walking when a voice suddenly came from the front. Di Chen was stunned, he made a forbidden movement towards Jie Long, then walked towards him with his cat like a cat, hiding behind the grass, a moment later, Di Chen discovered that there were two men and a woman far away, two men dressed in beast skins and holding onto bows, the poor race who were chasing and killing Di Chen previously, and the woman was covered in blood, her appearance was very sorry, her hands were tied up, the youth in front was holding her hands like she was a pet, she was Luo Yumeng.


    "It''s them," Di Chen was secretly surprised, Luo Yumeng is strong, but is she actually injured like this?


    But this was none of Di Chen''s business, he carefully retreated. He had no enmity with the poor race and he did not want to provoke them either.


    "Di Chen, save me." Just as Di Chen left, Luo Yumeng''s voice sounded in his heart.


    Di Chen''s footsteps paused, he suddenly remembered that Luo Yumeng could also use this mystical technique to communicate with others in his heart.

 C267

    "Why should I save you?" Di Chen sneered, previously Luo Yumeng said that he would not meddle in''s business, but when Di Chen had killed Zang Gu, Luo Yumeng had still helped him. After Di Chen killed him, Luo Yumeng had even helped Fang Xue to kill Di Chen, so why would Di Chen save her now?


    Luo Yumeng said anxiously: "I know that you are holding a grudge against me for making a move earlier, but I also had no choice. Zang Gu called me Big Sis, and Fang Xue is also a friend who has known me for a long time.


    Di Chen taunted: "Do you want to kill me or not?"


    Previously, when Luo Yumeng had helped Di Chen at the wizard tower, Di Chen could still be considered grateful to him. Originally, the grudge between the two of them had completely disappeared, but Di Chen never thought that Luo Yumeng would kill him this time, how could Di Chen not be angry.


    After saying that, Di Chen wanted to leave, and had no intention to save her.


    "Di Chen," Luo Yumeng grew anxious, and said: "If you have any request, feel free to mention it, as long as you save me."


    It seemed like she was truly scared, and it was the first time she heard her begging someone like this.


    Di Chen suddenly thought that he still needed Luo Yumeng''s Sect Leader badge, wouldn''t this be a good opportunity?


    "I can," Di Chen immediately stated his condition, "I can save you, but I need your Sect Leader Token?"


    "What?" Luo Yumeng was startled, and said angrily: "Di Chen, you know that this Sect Leader medallion is very important to me, and yet you still want it. I will protect you so that I won''t cause you any more trouble in the future.


    Di Chen knew that she had misunderstood, and explained: "Maybe you don''t know the reason why I came here, it is because I came to collect the medallions of your top ten ancient sects, I need your medallion, I know that your Shanghai Sword Pavilion''s cultivation technique is in your medallion, I can return it to you."


    Hearing that, Luo Yumeng was even more shocked, the Sect Leader medallion having a cultivation technique was her secret, how did Di Chen know about it?


    Furthermore, she was very curious as to why Di Chen would suddenly collect the badges from the top ten sects. He seemed to treat his very well, but why?


    Luo Yumeng suddenly felt that Di Chen''s goal was not alone, it seemed that he must have a special reason for coming here, Luo Yumeng did not want to hand over the order badge, but she was clear that if she did not hand over the order badge, she would definitely die.


    "Not giving?" Di Chen frowned, if he did not have the order badge, Di Chen would definitely not save her.


    Luo Yumeng clenched her teeth, she knew that if she did not hand over the order badge, she would definitely die, and said: "But the order badge had already been stolen ¡­"


    She was afraid that Di Chen would misunderstand and said: "I won''t lie to you, it really was stolen. It''s someone from the barbarian race."


    Di Chen raised her eyebrow, she could tell that Luo Yumeng was speaking the truth, "If that''s the case, then why did I save you?"


    Luo Yumeng said anxiously, "But you don''t know who lost my order badge. You save me, I''ll tell you, then we can snatch it back together."


    In reality, Di Chen did not have the confidence to snatch back Luo Yumeng''s badge. Luo Yumeng was definitely a support to Di Chen, and the most important thing was that Di Chen did not know who exactly had snatched Luo Yumeng''s badge away.


    In the end, Di Chen agreed to save Luo Yumeng, and he sneaked back. Luo Yumeng was tied up by two people and had no way of using any of her spirit energy, so naturally, Luo Yumeng did not have any strength to fight, so Di Chen had to rely on his own strength to kill off the two of them.


    Di Chen asked Luo Yumeng the strength of these two people, Luo Yumeng said that these two people only knew how to shoot strong, the young man seemed to be the Young Patriarch of the poor race, her strength was especially strong, she could compare to a fourth level Martial King, one arrow was enough to break through Luo Yumeng''s cultivation technique, and even Luo Yumeng could not win against him.


    This was the first time Di Chen had heard that he was this strong, and he cursed in his heart. Even Luo Yumeng himself was unable to defeat him so it would be difficult for him to kill him.


    "Just you wait," Di Chen looked in the direction of those two, and immediately left with Jie Qian.


    "They will definitely pass by here. Jie Long, you should set up the Ghost Bending Formation and release some Insect Gu here."


    Di Chen said, he had taught Jie Wei where to set up the array''s effect to be better.


    Then, Di Chen took out a few pieces of paper with the word "Wind" written on it and stuck it into the grass. In order to prevent any accidents, he even carved the word "Turtle" on the tree. After doing all of this, Di Chen quietly waited for the other party''s arrival.


    More than ten minutes later, Luo Yumeng and the two poor race s finally arrived.


    "Luo Yumeng, be careful, I''m preparing to attack," Di Chen said in his heart, he knew that Luo Yumeng could definitely hear him.


    "Alright," Luo Yumeng replied, and carefully looked around.


    "Hmm?" The young man in front of him suddenly stopped, frowned and stared at Luo Yumeng, but did not say anything. The young man''s name was Qiong Kun, and was the Young Patriarch of the poor race.


    "Young Patriarch, what''s wrong?" The person beside him asked doubtfully.


    "There''s always a bad feeling," Qiong Kun frowned, as if he had realized the danger. He looked around, and as a hunter, he could sensitize the demonic beast lying in ambush in the surroundings. He could faintly sense that there was danger here, but he did not discover the source of the danger.


    Qiong Kun shook his head slightly. Since he did not discover him, he did not need to think too much about it and continued to walk. However, after walking a few steps, he stopped and suddenly looked at another person and shouted.


    Before the man could even react, a wind blade shot out from the subterranean, slashing the man into two halves. The corpse was lying on the ground one after the other, his organs scattered all over the ground.


    "Who?" Qiong Kun looked far away suddenly, and then pulled his bow open and shot an arrow.


    Di Chen immediately retreated, and in the instant that Di Chen retreated, the arrow shot into his original location. With a boom, a three meter deep hole was formed on the ground, and rubble flew everywhere.


    "It''s you! You killed them?" Qiong Kun had naturally seen Di Chen before. Previously, he had thrown two people to chase after Di Chen, but now, this fellow was here telling him that the two of them were already dead.


    Di Chen smiled and said: "They have already been killed by me."


    Qiong Kun frowned: "To be able to kill them, seems like you are not weak. Since you were lucky enough to survive, you should cherish them well, why did you sneak attack me?"


    Di Chen pointed at Luo Yumeng and said: "Actually I don''t want to kill you, I''m only here to save her. Give her to me, and I''ll leave."


    Luo Yumeng heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her words. Although Di Chen had promised to save her before, he had never revealed himself, and now that Di Chen had appeared, it meant that Di Chen would definitely save him. Furthermore, Di Chen had never done anything that he was unsure of.


    Qiong Kun frowned: "Earlier, I saw her colluding with another woman to kill you. Why did you save her?"


    Di Chen shook his head: "You don''t need to know this; you only need to hand her to me."


    Now that Luo Yumeng was injured, it was also a good opportunity for Di Chen to control him.


    Qiong Kun could tell that Di Chen had already decided, and laughed coldly: "You warriors are really strange, seeing profit can ignore the enemy''s identity, but you are just too ridiculous, do you really think you have the ability to save people from my hands?"


    Qiong Kun was the Young Patriarch of the poor race, and was very strong. He had also killed a lot of warriors, so he did not place Di Chen in his eyes.


    With that said, he raised his bow, and placed a wooden arrow on the bowstring, and shot it towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen pressed his Method of travelling, two blades of light shot out from the subterranean, one in front and one behind, respectively facing the wooden arrow. The first wind blade was immediately destroyed by the wooden arrow, but the wooden arrow also started to shake, and then the second wind blade struck the wooden arrow and exploded, causing the wooden arrow to fall on the ground.


    Qiong Kun drew his bow consecutively. His speed was extremely fast, from drawing the arrow to shooting, it was as if there was no time interval.


    Di Chen continued to use his Wind formula, with wind blades clashing against wood arrows, causing ripples to spread out, and the difference in power was not big.


    "Hmm?" Qiong Kun squinted his eyes, he noticed that Di Chen was a little strange, he had also seen many warriors before, their movements were very clean and crisp, but when Di Chen used the Method of travelling, he seemed to be slightly weak, he could tell that Di Chen was not a warrior and immediately rushed towards Di Chen.


    "Not good ¡­" Luo Yumeng cursed, and immediately shouted: "Di Chen, he is very strong, do not fight with him head on."


    Previously, Luo Yumeng had fought with Qiong Kun before, so she knew how strong her strength was. Although Di Chen was a man of letters and had reached the level of emperor, his strength as a warrior had obviously not been able to keep up with hers. She knew that Qiong Kun must have seen through Di Chen''s weakness.


    Di Chen calmly looked at Qiong Kun. His speed was very slow, and naturally he couldn''t dodge, but Di Chen didn''t have the intention of dodging either.


    Bang!


    As the two fists collided, Qiong Kun only felt his arm go numb, and his entire body was forced a few steps back, his arm faintly trembling.


    "Impossible," Qiong Kun said in shock. He thought that he had the strongest power, and was not one bit inferior to the Eastern Desolation''s strongest power, yet, he was actually at a disadvantage when fighting against his opponent?


    was also slightly startled, before, Di Chen''s strength was still very strong, how could he be this strong?


    In truth, when Di Chen absorbed the blood fiend, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, but Di Chen did not expect that the other party''s strength was not weaker than him, if not for the absorption of the blood fiend, he would have been dead by now.


    Qiong Kun was obviously not convinced, he snorted: "Looks like I underestimated you, but I want to know if you can block my next arrow."


    Then, Qiong Kun took out an iron arrow from the basket. He pulled the bow until it was full of arcs, but it was obvious that he was having a hard time.


    "Go to hell," Qiong Kun bellowed, and released an iron arrow. The iron arrow flew towards Di Chen like a bolt of lightning.


    Di Chen only felt a sharp gust of wind blowing towards him, he immediately performed an incantation, and a wind blade shot towards the iron arrow, but when the wind blade struck the iron arrow, it did not have any power, and directly dissipated.

 C268

    However, it was already too late for Di Chen to dodge, so he could only grab hold of the arrow. The arrow rubbed against the palm of Di Chen''s hand, then directly shot into his shoulder, carrying his body with it as he flew backwards. Di Chen only felt the wind whistling past his ears as he was nailed to a tree trunk with a loud thud, causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood.


    "Di Chen..." Luo Yumeng''s face changed, the power of the arrow just now was terrifying even to her.


    "Dammit," Di Chen clenched his teeth, he grabbed the arrow and pulled it out, blood gushing out from his shoulder.


    The strength consumed by Qiong Kun''s arrow was not small, his face was pale white, he panted and laughed sinisterly: "This is the first time in my life that I''ve been forced to use my full strength, you''re not weak, unfortunately you''ve met me, let''s see how you escape this time."


    As he said that, he took out another wooden arrow. This time, Di Chen was injured, so much that even the wooden arrow wouldn''t be able to block it.


    Di Chen did not move at all, pointed at Qiong Kun, and laughed: "Since I dared to come and save someone, I am definitely confident in my ability to do so."


    Qiong Kun was startled, he looked down and noticed that Spirit Demon Claw had extended out one after another and grabbed onto Qiong Kun, pulling him towards subterranean.


    "Witch race, send the spirits away," Qiong Kun''s face changed, he struggled to retreat, but the ghost claws held onto him tightly, he was unable to free himself from them.


    Seeing that, Di Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and walked to Qiong Kun with a smile: "Right now, you can''t escape right?"


    Luo Yumeng immediately shouted: "Di Chen, quickly kill him."


    She knew that Qiong Kun was powerful, and was afraid that Qiong Kun still had a way to dodge it.


    "It won''t be that easy to kill me," Qiong Kun roared, then suddenly he took out a fingernail-sized red pearl and threw it on the ground. The pearl immediately exploded and a raging fire burned and the flame burned the Ghost Claw''s flames, causing waves of black gas to spill out of the pearl and quickly dissipated.


    "Remember this. I will definitely get my revenge." Qiong Kun did not dare to continue fighting with Di Chen. After saying that, he headed towards the heart of the forest.


    Di Chen immediately activated his Wind formula, and a Wind Blade immediately chased after Qiong Kun. With a pu sound, the Wind Blade slid past Qiong Kun''s arm, and directly chopped off his arm, but Qiong Kun''s speed did not decrease at all, and continued to flee.


    "Did he run?" When Di Chen wanted to use the Wind formula again, he already left. Di Chen frowned, thinking that in the future, there would be more trouble, but Di Chen had no choice.


    Di Chen walked to Luo Yumeng''s side and untied her. Luo Yumeng''s injuries were severe, and this time, she was not even able to stand steadily, and directly collapsed onto the ground. Di Chen did not help her.


    "Thank you," Luo Yumeng said gratefully, she really thought that she was dead for sure.


    Di Chen said: "You do not need to thank me, I only want your Sect Leader medallion."


    Luo Yumeng knew that Di Chen would not give up and said, "Don''t worry, once we get it back, I will definitely give it to you."


    She also wanted to recover the Shanghai Sword Pavilion, but she knew clearly that it would not be easy.


    Di Chen thought for a while and asked: "Do you have any runes or incantations that can control someone?"


    Jie Long nodded, she immediately drew a strange pattern on Luo Yumeng''s chest with her finger, then looked at Di Chen and said: "This Reincarnation Curse, can send her into the reincarnation cycle anytime."


    The meaning of these words were that as long as Jie Qian chanted an incantation, he could kill Luo Yumeng at any time.


    Luo Yumeng''s face changed, but she did not say anything, she only lowered her head. There was no helping it, previously, she had killed Di Chen before, she knew that he would not believe her, but now, with this seal drawn on her, it seemed that she would not be able to shake him off.


    Only then did Di Chen take out a pill and gave it to Luo Yumeng, and said: "Recover the Spiritual Energy first, I''ll protect you."


    Luo Yumeng immediately swallowed the pill, and an hour later, her injuries finally recovered.


    "Alright," Luo Yumeng moved her body, her spirit energy was full, she could still fight if she met her opponent.


    "Oh yeah," Di Chen suddenly thought of something: "Where''s that Fang Family member."


    Luo Yumeng''s eyes darkened, and said: "She''s been killed, that Young Patriarch Qiong Kun is truly too powerful."


    When Di Chen heard that she had been killed, he heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn''t that Di Chen was afraid of her, but it was just that it was very troublesome being continuously hunted by a single person.


    Di Chen then asked: "You said your Sect Leader medallion has been stolen, who exactly stole it?"


    When Luo Yumeng thought about this, she could not help but get angry, and said: "They are the people from the Hong, previously I met them, although I escaped by luck, but I lost the order badge, but they should not know what it is."


    "Hong?" Hearing this, Jie Long''s face turned pale, and then revealed a trace of anger.


    Di Chen asked doubtfully: "Jie Wei, do you know about this Hong?"


    Jie Long nodded and then introduced the Hong to Di Chen. Originally, the Hong was a huge clan like the Eastern Desolation, with many people belonging to various tribes, and the Hong was innately strong and liked to invade other tribes. Previously, the Witch race had already been attacked by the Hong, but because of the Witch race''s powerful witchcraft, the Hong suffered a lot of losses.


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows, thinking that if it was just a small tribe, Di Chen might still be confident, but it was obvious that it was possible for this Hong, to snatch the order badge from their hands, wasn''t it very difficult?


    Di Chen did not think much and headed towards the other side of the mountain. Luo Yumeng also had nowhere to go, and she also wanted to snatch the Sect Leader Token back, so she could only follow Di Chen.


    Three days later.


    Di Chen and the other two finally left the desolate mountain. After descending the mountain, they saw a vast expanse of plains, and this was the territory of the Eastern Desolation. Entering the Eastern Desolation was the dangerous start, one had to know that the barbarian race was no different from a savage, it was inherently cruel.


    "Where are we going first?" Luo Yumeng did not have an idea, he did not know how to snatch the order badge back, so she could only ask Di Chen.


    Di Chen actually wasn''t completely confident either. He still didn''t understand the Hong at the moment, and he didn''t want to rush in to snatch it. He said, "Let''s return to the Witch race first."


    The reason why Jie Wei escaped was because Di Chen wanted to help Jie Wei recover his position in Witch race.


    Luo Yumeng said worriedly: "Although you have a good relationship with this Jie Yuan City, the Witch race''s spells are very vicious, if they want to kill you, they will not give you any chance, do you really want to go?"


    It was extremely dangerous for outsiders to enter the Witch race, so Luo Yumeng did not want to come into contact with the Witch race at all.


    Of course, Di Chen didn''t want to go to the Witch race either, but there was no other way. Di Chen had to help Jie Qian take back the Witch race, and most importantly, he needed the help of the Witch race to snatch the Sect Leader''s medallion back.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen didn''t explain and directly headed in the direction of the Witch race.


    With just a few people, they would be able to kill demonic beast s at any time, and sometimes, they would even have to pass through a pack of wolves. On the way, Di Chen had killed quite a few demonic beast s, but luckily he did not meet any people from the barbarian race.


    "Hm?" Five days later, Di Chen suddenly saw a group of Horned Horses in the distance. They looked like horses, with a single horn on their forehead, the speed of these Horned Horses were extremely fast.


    Di Chen laughed: "This way of walking is simply too slow, I am going to tame two gnus."


    As he said that, he walked towards the gnus, which dispersed the moment they saw Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately wrote a word of confirmation in his handwritten hand. These gnus were fast, but they were not strong, so Di Chen''s formula could easily trap them.


    The gnus beast didn''t move at all. Di Chen casually flipped onto a gnus beast, and released the formula, causing it to immediately shake, wanting to smash Di Chen down. Di Chen grabbed onto the gnoma beast''s neck, and tried to balance his body.


    It seemed that he had given up. Then, Di Chen tamed another gnus beast, and the two gnus beasts were enough for Di Chen to escape.


    Di Chen pulled Jie Gong onto his gnu and let Luo Yumeng ride on it alone. The three of them then rushed in the direction of the Witch race, and with the Horned Horse Beast, their speed increased a lot. Two days later, they were already close to the tribe of the Witch race.


    Jie Long pointed in the distance and said: "Big Brother Di Chen, is right in front of us. There are many poisonous bugs around Witch race that are used to protect our clansmen. Be careful."


    In fact, Di Chen had also noticed that there were a lot of Insect Gu in the grass. These Insects were all highly toxic, and even a bite would cause them some danger.


    Weng! *


    Just then, a buzzing sound came from the sky. Di Chen raised his head and saw a large number of poisonous bugs flying down from the sky.


    "This ¡­" Di Chen''s face changed, with this many people, even people at the ninth stage of the Martial King would be poisoned to death.


    Luo Yumeng roared: Di Chen, use your formula.


    There were too many of these poisonous bugs, and they were simply too many to kill, so only Di Chen''s formula s were the most suitable. He immediately drew out a character and an invisible force spread out.


    In fact, she could also use a cultivation method to kill these poisonous bugs, but there were simply too many poisonous bugs, and even if there was even a single one revealed, it was very possible that they would poison a few people to death.


    Di Chen squinted: "Don''t be careless, these poisonous bugs won''t attack us for no reason. There must be someone from the Witch race here."


    Being reminded by Di Chen, Luo Yumeng looked around vigilantly.


    Just then, a rustling sound came from the grass patch as a huge snake drilled its way out. It opened its mouth and bit towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately formed a seal with his hand, and a wind blade shot out, slashing the snake in two. The snake wriggled its body, and stopped moving very quickly.

 C269

    "Over there," Luo Yumeng saw where the person was hiding at a glance, with a stab of her sword, a ray of Sword Qi flew out, straight towards a certain direction.


    Bang! With a sound, the Sword Qi exploded, and a human figure was flipped over, supporting himself on the ground, he stood up. This was a young man with a bamboo basket on his back, he had been injured in the explosion, but his life was not in danger.


    "Don''t kill him," Jie Long suddenly shouted, and Luo Yumeng immediately retracted her sword.


    At this time, Jie Long jumped down from the gnus and ran towards the young man: "Zha Zhu, is that you?"


    The youngster who was called Zha Zhu was stunned when she saw Jie Long, and then had a face full of pleasant surprise: "Jie Long, you''re back?"


    Hearing the two people call him that, Di Chen finally understood that these two people knew each other. Presumably, Zha Zhu did not see Jie Wei just now, which was why he rashly attacked.


    "I''m back." It seemed like her relationship with Zha Zhu was very good.


    Zha Zhu ran over, and said: "Jie Wei, where have you been all these years? I''ve been looking for you, but I don''t see any clues about you."


    Jie Wei''s expression darkened when he thought about the situation he was in in in Witch race. She did not know how to answer Zha Zhu''s question.


    Zha Zhu sighed, he also knew that Jie Wei had suffered a lot in Witch race.


    Zha Zhu looked at Di Chen and Luo Yumeng warily and said, "Who are these two? Why did you bring them to our Witch race?"


    Jie Qian introduced with a smile: "This is Big Brother Di Chen, for this period of time, it''s all thanks to her taking care of me."


    She did not introduce Luo Yumeng, and one could tell that she did not like him.


    Zha Zhu said with a face full of gratitude when she heard that Di Chen had taken great care of Jie Wei.


    Di Chen thought that Zha Zhu was actually serious. Seems like he really liked Jie Wei, otherwise, he wouldn''t mind it so much.


    "There''s no need to be courteous, Jie Long is also my sister." Di Chen laughed. He had always seen Jie Wei as his own sister, so of course he couldn''t bear for something to happen to her.


    Zha Zhu looked at Jie Qian again, and worriedly asked: "Jie Qian, why did you suddenly come back? Do you know that Yan Hui will not let you go?"


    She was silent for a long time before she said: "I am the daughter of the clan leader. They caused the death of my father, so it won''t be that easy for them to obtain the position of clan leader."


    This was the first time Zha Zhu had seen Jie Qian say these words with such determination. He was startled, thinking to herself that Jie Wei had grown quite a bit during this period of time.


    "Let''s return. Herba Hydrae will definitely be happy." Although Zha Zhu was worried that Jie Qian would be in danger when he returned, he still didn''t want Jie Qian to take the risk outside.


    Hearing the name Herba Hydrae, Jie Qian''s mood improved a little. Nodding, he followed Zha Zhu in the direction of Witch race, with Di Chen and Luo Yumeng following closely behind.


    This was the place where the Witch race lived. The Witch race primarily raised Gu, which could be said to be a poisonous insect, but in reality, it could also be used for medicinal purposes. Spells that could harm people could also cure illnesses, so the Witch race could be said to be the only doctor of the grass.


    "Zha Zhu, you''re back ¡­"


    After seeing Zha Zhu, the people around greeted him warmly. It seemed that Zha Zhu had good connections here.


    "Hey, Jie, you''re back too?"


    Jie Wei was previously the daughter of the Patriarch, but then he suddenly left the Witch race. Everyone did not expect her to suddenly come back, but in fact, many people did not know why Jie Wei suddenly left.


    But what was even more surprising was that Zha Zhu actually brought two outsiders with him. The clans of the Eastern Desolation actually hated outsiders, especially when they were not people who followed from the grass, but they did not make things difficult for Di Chen because of Zha Zhu''s explanation.


    Zha Zhu did not have time to explain, she looked at Di Chen and said: "Big brother Di Chen, I''ll take you to rest first, Jie Qian, you follow me to see Herba Hydrae."


    Jie Qian brought Di Chen and entered a yurt, and said: "Di Chen, hehe, you rest first, I''ll come find you later."


    Di Chen nodded and went to rest with Luo Yumeng in the yurt, while Jie Long and Zha Zhu went to see Herba Hydrae.


    "Herba Hydrae, who are you looking for?"


    Zha Zhu brought Jie Wei into the biggest yurt, inside there was an old woman with wrinkled skin. She had coiled up her hair, and her hair was white as snow.


    Herba Hydrae saw Jie Wei at first glance. His eyes immediately became moist and he walked over quickly: "Jie Wei, you''re finally back. You thought you''d never be able to come back ¡­"


    "Tell me quickly how you''ve been all these years."


    Jie Long talked about his life for the past few years, with special emphasis on Di Chen.


    For the past few years, Jie Long did not live very well and had frequently encountered danger. Herba Hydrae heard her tears and waited for Jie Long to talk about Di Chen for a long time, but then revealed a happy smile. Herba Hydrae could tell that Jie Long seemed to like the Di Chen that she spoke of a lot.


    "It''s good that you''re fine," the Herba Hydrae asked. "Jie Wei, why did you suddenly come back?"


    Back then, Herba Hydrae was aware of the danger to Jie Wei, that''s why she specially arranged for Jie Wei to escape.


    It was only because Di Chen wanted to come to Eastern Desolation, so Jie Long decided to accompany Di Chen. Since they were going to come back, they might as well snatch back the clan elder''s seat.


    Jie Wei clenched his fist and said: "I want to avenge my father, I want to take back what belongs to me."


    Hearing that Jie Long was very determined, but this made Herba Hydrae a bit worried. How could Jie Long take back the position of clan leader?


    Herba Hydrae let out a long sigh, "Since you''re back, then don''t leave.


    She did not believe that, at such a young age, she could take back the position of clan leader. She only hoped that she could survive.


    "Granny, I will bring you to meet Big Brother Di Chen." Jie Wei impatiently pulled Herba Hydrae to go see Di Chen.


    Herba Hydrae laughed, thinking to herself, looks like Jie Wei really likes this Di Chen, I wonder what kind of person he is.


    This was Di Chen''s first time in the Witch race, so he did not dare to barge in recklessly as he stayed in his yurt.


    "Jie Long ¡­" At this time, a seventeen or eighteen year old youth rushed in. This youth was dressed in clothes with gold borders, holding a whip in his hand, his eyes blazing like a torch, looking extremely abnormal. He was the Yan Hui that Jie Qian spoke of, and beside Yan Hui, there was a younger person.


    Yan Hui did not see the flower, but had instead seen Di Chen for the first time. He slightly raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you the people that Jie Qian brought back?"


    Di Chen still did not know who the two were. He nodded and said, "That''s right, who are you two?"


    Yan Hui did not speak. The youth called You Mo beside him said anxiously: "You do not need to care who we are. This place is not a place you can stay.


    Earlier, the people of Witch race welcomed Di Chen very much, and only these two people didn''t like Di Chen. How could Di Chen not know of their identities?


    "Are you guys looking to die?" When You Mo saw that the two of them did not leave and had even neglected him, the anger in his heart grew.


    Di Chen and Luo Yumeng still did not even look at him.


    You Mo was furious, he immediately took out a bottle and a few poisonous bugs flew out, flying towards Di Chen. These poisonous bugs were also extremely poisonous, if they were bitten, they would definitely die, it seemed like he had the intention to kill.


    Di Chen''s eyes grew serious, and when the poisonous bugs arrived in front of Di Chen, they suddenly stopped, and stood still in the air, as though they were drawing.


    "What''s going on?" You Mo was surprised, he realized that he was actually unable to control these poisonous bugs.


    This scene surprised even Yan Hui, it was his first time seeing such a mysterious technique.


    Yan Hui was not convinced, he took out the bamboo basket on his back and opened it, only to see a poisonous snake crawling out and biting towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen immediately wrote the word wind, the word wind turned into a wind blade and shot towards the huge snake, slicing it into two, the wind blade grazed past You Mo''s body again, and almost shot the other two to death.


    You Mo was so scared that his face turned pale. Only after a long while did he come back to his senses, and shouted angrily at Di Chen: "How dare you!


    He still wanted to make his move, but then Yan Hui grabbed onto You Mo and said earnestly: "If he wanted to kill you, you''re already dead."


    In reality, Di Chen did not plan to kill the silence earlier. Otherwise, the wind formula could have easily killed him.


    You Mo unwillingly retracted his hand, and stared straight at Di Chen, it seemed that he would not give up.


    Yan Hui squinted his eyes and said: "But you came to our Witch race and yet you are actually so arrogant, you really deserve to die."


    As he spoke, he took out a small bottle.


    "What are you doing?" But just then, Jie Qian ran in, and roared at Yan Hui: "If you dare do something rash, don''t blame me for being rude."


    Yan Hui stared at Jie Wei for a while, then kept the bottle and laughed: "You should know that there are a lot of outsiders who want to harm us, I was just worried that this person would bring us trouble, I didn''t have any other intentions."


    Jie Qian would never believe her words, it was just that Yan Hui did not make a move, so she did not say much.


    "Yan Hui," Herba Hydrae said to Yan Hui in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"


    Yan Hui seemed to still be very afraid of the Herba Hydrae, as he immediately said respectfully: "It was my father who asked me to come here. He said he wanted Jie Long to go to his place, he has something to say."


    Yan Hui''s father, Yan Huai, was the one who killed Jie Wei''s father.


    Jie Wei was furious at the thought of Yan Huai, and almost got angry.


    "I will let her go later," Herba Hydrae interrupted her.


    Yan Hui bowed, he did not dare be rash, and obediently withdrew. Before You Mo left, he even playfully glanced at Di Chen. It seems like he would still think of a way to kill Di Chen.


    Herba Hydrae stared at Yan Hui''s back, waiting for him to leave before sighing helplessly. She looked at Jie Wei and said: "Since you came back, you have to be calm, otherwise, they will take you for heart."


    She also knew that she had acted on impulse just now, but she was still young, so it was normal for her to not be able to hold it in.

 C270

    Jie Wei immediately introduced the Herba Hydrae to Di Chen, and the Herba Hydrae looked at Di Chen and smiled: "Oh you are Di Chen, many thanks for taking care of Jie Wei during this period."


    Di Chen smiled and said: "Grandma doesn''t need to be so polite, Jie Long also helped me out a lot."


    The Herba Hydrae stared at Di Chen for a while, then suddenly became stern: "You probably didn''t come to Eastern Desolation just to send Jie Long back right? Do you have another goal?"


    "Yes, there are some things," Di Chen did not hide anything from him. This was something that Jie Wei knew, but he did not tell him the reason why he was here.


    Herba Hydrae also did not intend to pursue the matter further, so she smiled and said, "Witch race is not safe, you should be careful during this period."


    Di Chen also knew that there were people in the Witch race who wanted to kill Jie Wei, and that Di Chen was here to help Jie Wei. Naturally, Di Chen would be in danger, but Grandma really didn''t think that Di Chen could help Jie Wei out much.


    Luo Yumeng, who was at the side, did not say a word from start to finish. She could tell that the Herba Hydrae was not a simple person.


    "Let''s go," the Herba Hydrae said. "Follow me to see Yan Huai. Di Chen, the two of you follow me."


    Yan Huai was currently the Acting Patriarch of the Witch race, and had a very high status in the Witch race.


    Jie Long became angry when she thought of Yan Huai, as if she was still afraid. But she knew that she could not hide, so she followed Herba Hydrae with a nod.


    They arrived at the largest yurt, and immediately saw a dignified middle-aged man. The man held a walking stick with a skull, the walking stick was called the Witch God Staff, it was a symbol of the patriarch of the Witch race, and behind him were two elders, two of them were the elders of the Witch race, the one on the left was called Clan Elder Hong, the one on the right was a kind looking Elder Ting, who was also highly respected in the Witch race. Beside him were Yan Hui and You Mo.


    When Herba Hydrae brought Jie Wei and the others in, they saw the different expressions on and the others'' faces, but they did not say anything.


    Jie Long bowed to Elder Hong and Elder Ting: "Greetings, Elders."


    Elder Hong nodded expressionlessly.


    Elder Ting greeted him warmly, smiled and said: "It''s good that you''re back. This time, don''t go out."


    Jie Long did not greet Yan Huai, nor did he even glance at him.


    Yan Hui immediately said angrily: "Jie Wei, don''t be rude. Why aren''t you bowing to the patriarch?"


    Jie Wei calmly said, "My father is the clan leader. After my father died, the clan leader was never chosen. Why should I pay respects?"


    Yan Hui berated: "My father is now the Acting Patriarch, and is also the Patriarch. As a member of the Witch race, you are actually so rude.


    Jie Qian looked coldly at Yan Hui, not even bothering to reply.


    He only faintly knew that Yan Huai must have done something that could not be exposed. After that, Herba Hydrae had asked Jie Long to leave the Witch race to prove that the two of them were right, but at that time, the Witch race was being attacked by another tribe, so the two of them did not have the time to ask about it, and now, the two of them did not want to bring up the matter that happened back then anymore. Judging from Jie Wei''s reaction, it seemed like what happened that year must not be simple, but it had already been a few years, there was no point in investigating it.


    Yan Huai waved his hand, looked at Jie Long and said: "You are right, your father is the Clan Leader, I am only temporarily representing your father. You do not need to bow to me, it is good that you can return."


    He spoke very politely, but he had almost killed Gorgeous that year.


    "Oh, right," Yan Huai''s gaze landed on the two and asked: "Who are these two people?"


    Herba Hydrae introduced them as she said, "These two are the people who escorted Jie Qian back."


    Yan Huai sized up Di Chen for a while, but did not pay too much attention to him. His gaze landed on Luo Yumeng again, and slightly raised his brows, as if he had felt Luo Yumeng''s strength.


    "Thank you for taking care of Jie Dui." Yan Huai laughed and said: "It''s been hard on you all. Rest well today, you can leave tomorrow."


    Di Chen and Luo Yumeng were startled when they heard this, the two of them had no intention to leave from the start, but Yan Huai said that he would leave tomorrow, this was clearly ordering them to leave.


    Jie Qian immediately said: "Di Chen will not leave this place for the time being. I plan to let him stay in Witch race for a period of time."


    Yan Huai said as he furrowed his brows: "Jie Qian, you are the daughter of the Clan Leader. You should know the rules of the Witch race because he is an outsider, not to mention, not even a member of the Eastern Desolation''s clan. How can he stay in the Witch race?"


    There were many tribes in the Eastern Desolation, and these tribes fought wars throughout the year. However, there would occasionally be interactions between the tribes, but the tribesmen hated people that were not from the Eastern Desolation the most.


    Jie Wei said willfully: "I don''t care if they are people of the Eastern Desolation, they won''t leave during this period of time anyways."


    Yan Huai''s face sunk. He hated it when people refuted him the most, but Jie Long was the old patriarch''s daughter, so he couldn''t get angry at him in front of the two elders. It was just that as his elders, Yan Huai and You Mo were not suitable to talk, but as juniors, they were.


    Yan Hui also knew what Yan Huai was thinking right now. He immediately said: "Jie Wei, these outsiders are a threat to our tribe. You must think about it for our tribe."


    You Mo also agreed, "That''s right, as the daughter of the Patriarch, you should take responsibility for your actions, they cannot keep you."


    He had made up his mind and would not argue with them.


    Herba Hydrae was very clear that Jie Wei was still young, and Di Chen and Luo Yumeng could protect Jie Wei, so without them, it would definitely be very dangerous. He said: "After all, they did save Jie Wei, so let them stay for a while."


    "But ¡­" Yan Hui was still unconvinced, he still wanted to refute.


    "Yan Hui," Yan Huai interrupted him. "Since Herba Hydrae has already said this, then let them stay behind.


    Herba Hydrae was a highly respected person in the Witch race, even Yan Huai had to listen to her.


    "But ¡­" Yan Huai changed the subject, looked at Di Chen and said: "If anything happens to Witch race during this period of time, we will use you as a test."


    "I know," Di Chen smiled and said, but in his heart, he knew that something was amiss. Looks like Yan Huai wouldn''t just sit there and watch, he would definitely do something in the dark, but Di Chen wasn''t afraid.


    Luo Yumeng thought that Yan Huai obviously wanted to use these words to scare Di Chen away, but she knew that Di Chen would not leave.


    The two elders behind Yan Huai naturally heard the meaning behind Yan Huai''s words and raised their eyebrows slightly. Although they did not wish for others to stay in Witch race, it was clear that the two did not pose a threat to Witch race.


    "Di Chen, let''s go. I''ll bring you to rest," Herba Hydrae did not let Di Chen stay any longer as he took Di Chen and Jie Qian away.


    After all, Jie Wei was still young, and when he heard Yan Huai''s words, he became angry. Herba Hydrae was afraid that Jie Wei would rashly say something to offend Yan Huai, so he didn''t want Jie Wei to have too much contact with Yan Huai.


    "It seems that there are a lot of changes this time around." Elder Ting chuckled. In the past, Jie Wei was a cute and timid girl, but now, he was much more resolute.


    Elder Hong was silent for a while before saying, "Since Jie Wei has already returned, let''s quickly decide on the position of the junior family head."


    These sudden words shocked Yan Huai and Yan Hui at the same time. Listening to what he said, he wanted Jie Wei to inherit the position of the junior family head?


    It wasn''t easy for Yan Huai to snatch back the clan elder''s position, why should he give it to Jie Wei? He immediately objected: "Jie Wei is still young, it''s a little inappropriate to fix this position of junior family head right now, right?"


    Elder Hong said calmly, "There''s nothing wrong with that. Back then, she was designated as the successor to the family head. Now that Jie Long is fifteen years old, she has the ability to inherit the family head position."


    If one wanted to inherit the position of the Clan Master, one needed to know magic, and Jie Long could be said to be a talented young lady who had a very strong comprehension of magic. With just a small age, she had already learned many spells, and the two elders decided to let Jie Gen inherit the position of Clan Master. No one could have imagined that Jie Gen''s father, the previous Clan Chief, would die in the attacks of other tribes, and Jie Gai had also left the Witch race.


    "Jie Dui has already left for five years, who knows if her magic has improved. I think it''s time to select anew."


    At this time, Yan Hui suddenly retorted: "I believe my ability is no weaker than Jie Wei, I feel that I too have the qualifications to inherit the position of clan leader."


    Yan Hui was also a smart person. There were some things that were hard for Yan Huai to say, but as a junior, Yan Hui could just say them out loud. Moreover, no matter how Yan Hui said it, Jie Qian had left for a few years, so he didn''t really understand the Witch race.


    When Elder Ting heard this, he frowned: "Yan Hui, I know that you have made great progress in these past few years, but do you really think that you can inherit the position of Patriarch?"


    Yan Hui replied: "How do you know without giving it a try? Not to mention me, I think everyone in Witch race wants to inherit the position of Patriarch."


    At this point, he suddenly bowed to the two elders and said, "Patriarch, I have a suggestion. I would like to re-evaluate the position of the Patriarch''s successor."


    Back then, Jie Wei had the best talent among all the Witch race, which was why he wanted her to inherit the position of clan leader when she grew up. It was just that Jie Wei had left for too long, and suddenly coming back to inherit the position of clan leader was not really right.


    "Alright, since that''s the case, let''s let the younger generation of Witch race have a try," Elder Hong agreed in the end. He also wanted to see if Jie Duo had made any progress in these past few years.


    Hearing this, Yan Hui''s face suddenly lit up. All these years, he had been working hard to cultivate his magic, so he believed that he had the ability to pass the examination.


    Yan Huai also heaved a sigh of relief. He originally wanted Yan Hui to inherit the position of Patriarch, and it was a good thing that he could give Yan Hui a chance right now.


    Elder Hong and Elder Ting immediately walked out to announce this matter to the Witch race.


    There were many young people in Witch race who wanted to inherit the position, but did not have the chance. This time, the two elders gave them the chance, it was just that the two elders did not say what kind of assessment they would take, and only asked the younger generation of Witch race to prepare. Three days later would be the day of the assessment, and from the sounds of it, it was clear that the test was not simple, and they might even have their lives on the line.

 C271

    "I never thought that Elder Ting and Elder Hong would actually prepare to re-select the Patriarch''s successor. It looks like we have a chance."


    "Forget it. You also know that the requirements to become the Patriarch are very harsh. Do you think that the two Elders'' assessment will be easy?"


    The news of the exam was spread all over the Witch race. The young generation was very excited, but there were some people who did not intend to take part in the exam. Everyone knew that the examination would not be easy, so there were not many people who would actually take the examination.


    However, she didn''t expect that the two elders would actually prepare to retake the exam. This was also normal, after all, Jie Long also knew that she had been gone for too long, but she really didn''t have confidence in taking the exam.


    Although Herba Hydrae was not satisfied with what she had done, the problem was that no one could change the decision between Clan Elder Hong and Clan Elder Ting, even the Acting Clan Chief Yan Zhen had to listen to it.


    "Elder Hong and Elder Ting are preparing to re-select the Patriarch''s successor, Jie Duo. This assessment must not be easy. You must be careful."


    Inside a yurt, Herba Hydrae said sincerely: "This Yan Huai always wanted to kill you, so you be careful."


    She was not afraid of danger, she only wanted to take back the position of clan leader.


    "Oh, that''s right," Di Chen asked. "Herba Hydrae, didn''t the two elders say how the assessment would be conducted?"


    Herba Hydrae shook her head: "In the past, choosing the position of Patriarch always depended on talent, but this is the first time I have said that I would take the examination, but I can roughly guess."


    Speaking of which, Herba Hydrae''s face became solemn, and after a moment of silence, she said: "The two elders must want the examinees to enter Temple of Magi."


    Hearing the name Temple of Magi, Jie Wei''s face was filled with fear.


    Di Chen frowned: "Where exactly is this Temple of Magi, Jie Long seems to be very afraid."


    Herba Hydrae explained: "You know that our Witch race worships the Sorcerer, and the Temple of Magi is the place where we worship the Sorcerer. Just many years ago, the Sorcerer was already abandoned and had been closed up by us, and that place is extremely dangerous.


    It was said that one of the people who entered the Temple of Magi to offer sacrifices died in the night. No one knew the reason, but afterwards, every single person who entered the Temple of Magi would die one after another, and the Temple of Magi became more and more evil, which was why the Witch race closed the Temple of Magi.


    "What?" When Di Chen heard this, he stood up. If even the Herba Hydrae was going to die, then how terrifying would the Temple of Magi be?


    Di Chen shot a glance at Jie Gen. He was very clear that the latter had some special abilities, but its combat ability was weak, so he would definitely die if he entered the Temple of Magi. Furthermore, that crafty Yan Hui would definitely attack Jie Gen.


    "Can I go in?" Di Chen asked, he wanted to protect Jie Wei as well so that they would be safe.


    The Herba Hydrae was startled, she did not expect Di Chen to say such words. She stayed silent for a while and said: "The Temple of Magi is the most sacred place in our Witch race, although it is currently abandoned, but in the end, it is still a place that cannot be invaded by the Witch race, and outsiders cannot enter.


    However, Herba Hydrae also knew that the possibility of the two elders agreeing was relatively low. After all, allowing an outsider to enter the Temple of Magi was against the laws of the Witch race.


    But then again, it was the same for the others who were in danger from Jie Dui. Jie Dui''s magic was not weak, at least he had a chance, but Jie Duo had wasted a lot of insect Gu, so he had to prepare more during this period of time.


    In a yurt.


    There was still some time left for the assessment, and in the past two days, Di Chen had been reading and writing, all for the purpose of raising his cultivation.


    "How long are you planning to stay here? Don''t you want to snatch the Shanghai Sword Pavilion''s medallion back?"


    Luo Yumeng had been accompanying Di Chen all this time, she was not concerned with the matters of the Witch race, she only wanted to snatch back her own order badge, but Di Chen had yet to make a move.


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Your order badge is in Hong, we need your help."


    During this time, Di Chen heard that the relationship between the Hong and him was not good, and there were often fights, so he wanted to use the Witch race to snatch back his order badge.


    Luo Yumeng saw through Di Chen''s intention with a single glance, and said: "With your personality, even if you can''t get back the badge, you wouldn''t still wait like this. I think you''re worried about Jie Long, don''t you know that what you''re doing is very dangerous?"


    In fact, according to Di Chen''s previous plans, he would definitely investigate the Hong first. But during this period of time, Di Chen had not moved at all, which made Luo Yumeng a little unhappy.


    Furthermore, Di Chen was even prepared to help Jie Wei take the position of the junior family head. However, he would definitely offend Yan Huai, so it would be very dangerous for Di Chen, an outsider, to meddle in the affairs of the Witch race.


    How could Di Chen not know how serious the matter is? He turned silent for a moment, then said to Luo Yumeng: "How about this, you go investigate the Hong first, if you can find any clues that might help us offend the order badge."


    Luo Yumeng didn''t want to stay in the Witch race in the first place, she had only painstakingly been drawn out by Jie Yuan. She didn''t dare to leave without Di Chen''s consent, so she said after thinking for a while, "This is for the best, I will quickly gather information about the Hong. It would be even better if we can snatch back the command medallion."


    Di Chen said seriously: "Then Yan Huai actually knows the reason why I''m here, I''m guessing he will think of a way to deal with the two of us, how about you leave this place right now."


    Luo Yumeng nodded, but in truth, she had already felt Yan Huai''s killing intent.


    "Also, this Eastern Desolation is filled with people from all over. Be careful."


    Di Chen reminded her. Earlier, a patriarch of the poor race almost killed Luo Yumeng, with her cultivation, she would definitely be in danger if she were to barge into the Eastern Desolation alone.


    "I know, you should be careful as well," Luo Yumeng nodded, still left the Witch race. In her opinion, staying in the Witch race was actually dangerous, after all, it was obvious that someone from the Witch race wanted to kill him.


    Luo Yumeng had still left the Witch race, and just as she walked out, she met You Mo and Yan Hui.


    "Where is Miss Yu Meng going?" Yan Hui looked at Luo Yumeng playfully.


    Luo Yumeng was very clear that Yan Hui already had the intention to kill him, and said with a smile: "I came to the Eastern Desolation this time because of some private matters, and because I met with danger earlier, I decided to travel with Di Chen, but since the danger has passed, there is no need for me to stay."


    Yan Hui made an ''oh'' sound, he did not intend to persuade her to stay, so he smiled and said: "Lady Yu Meng, please leave."


    Luo Yumeng left with a smile, but just as she left, her eyes turned cold. She could hear that Yan Hui really wanted to kill her earlier.


    Yan Hui looked at Luo Yumeng''s back, and laughed: "She is smart, running pretty fast, just that..."


    His gaze once again fell on the yurt where Di Chen was and coldly said: "That guy won''t be tactful then."


    You Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "We can''t let him live ¡­"


    Yan Hui did not wait for him to finish speaking before reaching out to stop him from continuing. "Don''t speak nonsense, I know what I''m doing."


    You Mo knew that Yan Hui had already planned for this, and kept his words.


    After Luo Yumeng left, Jie Qian walked in. She didn''t really like Luo Yumeng, so when she was around, Jie Wei usually didn''t come in.


    "Big brother Di Chen, are you free?" Jie Qian asked blankly.


    Di Chen laughed: "What is it?"


    Jie Wei said: "Tomorrow is the examination day, I do not have confidence, I want you to accompany me to catch a purple blood worm to come back."


    In fact, many people in Witch race wanted to catch purple blood worm and refine it into a parasite. However, there were too few of these poisonous insects, and they were also too dangerous, so no one dared to capture them. Jie Duo really didn''t have any confidence this time, so he wanted to take the risk.


    "Alright," Di Chen agreed without hesitation. He thought that he might not be able to help Jie Qian pass the examination, so he could only do his best to help her raise her strength.


    Jie Qian laughed happily and pulled Di Chen out.


    At this time, Zha Zhu walked over, looked at Jie Wei and asked: "Jie Wei, Big Brother Di Chen, where are you guys going?"


    Jie Qian explained: "Big Brother Di Chen and I will go catch the purple blood worm."


    Zha Zhu''s expression changed when she heard this, and advised: "Jie Wei, you''re too reckless. It''s not like you don''t know how dangerous this purple blood worm is, its poison has no antidote, so I think it''s better if you don''t go. Herba Hydrae will definitely not let you go."


    Witch race had always been good at refining Insect Gu, but there had yet to be anyone who could refine a purple blood worm into a Insect Gu. Even Herba Hydrae did not dare to, since it was too dangerous, and there was no cure for its poison.


    Jie Qian shook his head: "Without purple blood worm, I have no confidence. Although this insect is dangerous, it''s not like I don''t have the chance. I must go."


    Zha Zhu originally wanted to advise her against it, but seeing that Jie Wei''s heart had made up her mind, she could only change her words: "Then I''ll accompany you."


    The three of them then headed off in a certain direction.


    Not far away, Yan Hui frowned as he looked at Jie Wei''s back, and said: "I wonder what the hell they are trying to do."


    When he thought about how he almost killed You Mo earlier, he became a little worried. Although this fellow looked weak, he was actually very strong.


    You Mo said indifferently: "Who cares what they are up to, I don''t believe they can pose any threat to us."


    Yan Hui shook his head: "Although that woman has left, we cannot be careless."


    When everyone saw Luo Yumeng leaving the Witch race, Yan Hui heaved a sigh of relief. At least Yan Hui did not need to think of a way to kill him.


    You Mo laughed: Didn''t you already catch the Water Pattern Spider, the insect''s poison is very strong, the moment you get poisoned, you will definitely die, in Witch race, other than the Herba Hydrae and the two elders, no one else can refine the Water Pattern Spider into a parasite, with this insect, why are you afraid of them?


    Yan Hui took out a small bottle. The bottle was filled with water and a white spider was soaking in the water, upon seeing the spider, Yan Hui immediately smiled, if the two elders were to see the Water Pattern Spider, they would be surprised, right?


    There was no one in the younger generation of Witch race who could refine a Worm Gu stronger than the Water Pattern Spider.


    Yan Hui stared at Di Chen''s back. Previously, he had already wanted to kill Di Chen, but he had never had the chance.

 C272

    The purple blood worm was a very rare poisonous insect, and did not live in a specific region. There were many of them in the entire Eastern Desolation, but their numbers were extremely few.


    Di Chen had never heard of purple blood worm before. He did not know what purple blood worm looked like, nor did he know how to capture them.


    Jie Long smiled mysteriously: "Actually, the reason I left Witch race was not only because I was worried about being persecuted, but also because I wanted to find a way to capture purple blood worm ¡­."


    She then took out a small bottle which held some purple liquid. She said: "This is the juice of the Purple Blood Grass, the one that the purple blood worm love the most, and where there is usually Purple Blood Grass, you can see the purple blood worm. In fact, there are also Purple Blood Grass in the grasslands of Eastern Desolation, but it''s very rare, but outside, Purple Blood Grass is very rare, and it''s enough to absorb the purple blood worm."


    Di Chen had heard of Purple Blood Grass before. This kind of grass was the most common herb in Youzhou, but there were no purple blood worm in Youzhou.


    Zha Zhu was also excited when she heard it: "Such a big bottle of purple blood grass juice would definitely attract purple blood worm."


    In fact, there were people in the Eastern Desolation who had thought of using the juice of the other Purple Blood Grass to attract the purple blood worm, but the problem was that the mountain was too far away, and the people of the Eastern Desolation would not easily leave the Great Prairie.


    Jie Long continued to bring Di Chen to search for something. Although Purple Blood Grass could attract purple blood worm s, there was a certain range and if it was too far away, there would be no effect, so Jie Long had to find a stalk of Purple Blood Grass first. There was a high chance that purple blood worm existed near the Purple Blood Grass.


    The three of them searched for an hour but couldn''t find a single Purple Blood Grass. This was a common sight in the Spirit Province, but it was extremely rare in the Eastern Desolation.


    Weng! *


    At this moment, a large number of poisonous insects suddenly flew over from the sky. These poisonous insects were the size of a fingernail and had the appearance of a heavenly ox.


    Zha Zhu''s expression changed. This kind of poisonous bug was relatively common in the Eastern Desolation, its poison wasn''t strong, but it had a numbing effect, and its devouring power was strong. Eastern Desolation had already encountered the Sky Horn Insect a few years ago, and everything that the Sky Horn Insect passed through would be devoured.


    "All of you retreat," Di Chen said as he calmly stared at the Sky Horn Insects. These bugs were too small and had a large number of them, but they were easy to kill.


    Di Chen immediately took out a few slips of paper with the word "burst" and "fixed" written on it, the power of the scholars gushed out, causing all the horned insects to freeze in the air, and then be smashed to pieces by Di Chen''s Blast Character Formula.


    Actually, this kind of Sky Horn Worm might be a threat to others, but it was nothing to Di Chen who had a good counter measure, so Di Chen could easily kill it.


    Countless Sky Horned Insects flew over, but they were all killed by Di Chen in the end. The sky quickly became clear again, and there were no longer any Sky Horn Insects left.


    Zha Zhu finally heaved a sigh of relief: "Big brother Di Chen, luckily we have you here, otherwise, I''m afraid we wouldn''t have been able to escape this calamity."


    Di Chen picked up a Sky Horn Worm that had not been completely blown up and frowned, "These Sky Horn Worms seem to have been raised. It seems like someone wants us to die."


    Zha Zhu instantly thought of someone and angrily said, "It must be Yan Hui. He was afraid that Jie Qian would inherit the position of Patriarch, and so she killed him."


    Di Chen thought that Yan Hui had already made his move. This time, he was only testing the waters and probably did not truly want to kill Jie Long. But next time might not be so easy.


    Jie Wei seemed to not be interested in the slightest, and said: "Ignore him, we will continue to search for the purple blood worm, and after we find him, we don''t need to be afraid of him."


    Finding the purple blood worm would not only increase his strength, but also his position.


    Four hours later!


    She finally found a stalk of Purple Blood Grass. Normally, there would be purple blood worm near the Purple Blood Grass, but purple blood worm were usually in the subterranean, so it wouldn''t be easy to find them.


    Zha Zhu suggested: "Pour the purple blood grass juice here and see if there are any purple blood worm s here."


    Jie Long immediately took out the purple grass juice and poured it on the ground. A sweet smell drifted out and the juice of the Purple Blood Grass could be concentrated. The smell lingered for a long time.


    "Even if there is a purple blood worm, it won''t come out immediately. We have to wait for a while."


    She took a step back. Bloodviolet was already very sensitive, and wouldn''t come out easily in the face of danger.


    Catching purple blood worm was just this troublesome. A few people waited at the same place, not knowing if there were any purple blood worm here, and normally they would only wait for a quarter of an hour. In the end, no purple blood worm came out after waiting for a quarter of an hour.


    Zha Zhu felt a burst of regret: "I finally found a stalk of Purple Blood Grass, I never thought that there would actually be no purple blood worm nearby."


    In fact, thinking about it carefully, it was actually quite normal. After all, Purple Blood Grass was relatively more common than purple blood worm s, so the few of them could only continue to search. In the following period of time, the three of them once again found a few stalks of Purple Blood Grass.


    Four hours later.


    Jie Long finally found another stalk of Purple Blood Grass. She dripped the juice onto the nearby grass and then retreated to the side, patiently waiting.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly saw a gigantic palace in the distance, he could faintly feel an evil aura coming from it.


    "Where?" Di Chen asked Jie Wei.


    Jie Qian explained: "That is the Temple of Magi that Herba Hydrae spoke of, but that place has already been abandoned."


    Di Chen''s interest was piqued, he looked at Jie Gen and laughed: "Wait here, I''ll go take a look."


    Jie Wei said worriedly: "Big Brother Di Chen, that place is too dangerous. I think it''s best if you don''t go near there."


    Di Chen smiled and said that he was fine, then without looking back, he ran towards the Temple of Magi. He mainly wanted to see what kind of place it was.


    In a few minutes, Di Chen arrived in front of the Temple of Magi. The Temple of Magi was dazzling in gold and jade, it looked like a palace in the depths of the city, and was even better than some large sects. If it was the past, there would be a Witch race guarding the Temple of Magi, but now, the Temple of Magi''s doors were tightly shut, and the Evil Qi surrounded the area.


    Di Chen was secretly shocked. He was relatively sensitive to danger and knew that it was definitely very dangerous inside.


    "You also sensed danger?" At this moment, an elderly voice suddenly sounded from the side.


    Di Chen turned around and saw that it was Elder Ting. He bowed and said, "So it''s Elder Ting.


    Di Chen had met many strong demonic beast and warriors before, but he had never felt such a strong Qi from the bottom of his heart before.


    Elder Ting walked over and said calmly: "This is Temple of Magi being cursed by the Sorcerer. Anyone who enters the Temple of Magi will die."


    "Sorcerer?" Di Chen had a strange look on his face. He thought to himself, why would the Witch race sacrifice to the Sorcerer, and be cursed by the Sorcerer instead?


    Di Chen was suspicious again. "Could it be that the Sorcerer really exists in this world?"


    Previously, Di Chen heard from the Sky Gate that there was a celestial domain there, where people with higher cultivation than the War God lived.


    Elder Ting chuckled: "The Sorcerer''s legend only exists in the records of Witch race. No one knows whether or not he actually exists."


    Di Chen said: "There is a saying among us warriors, when warriors reach War God, they will enter, and those who enter the celestial domain will be called gods, maybe the so-called Sorcerer is someone whose cultivation surpasses the War God, maybe he will be your first clan head of Witch race."


    Every tribe in the Eastern Desolation had their own gods, and these gods were actually just War God s to warriors. It was just that the Eastern Desolation did not have the concept of cultivation, so only a few would be able to reach that realm.


    When Elder Ting heard this, he was startled, but he laughed and did not comment. In truth, it was possible for Di Chen to say such words, and the so-called God was only a person with a strong cultivation.


    "That''s right," Elder Ting changed the topic. "Why did you suddenly come to this place?"


    Di Chen pointed to the distance and said: "I''m accompanying Jie Qian in handling some matters."


    He did not say that he would capture the purple blood worm because it was too dangerous.


    Elder Ting said, "Jie Duo has grown quite a bit in the past two years. It seems that you have a great influence on her."


    Di Chen shook his head and said, "Actually, we''ve only known each other for a year. All these years, she encountered many dangers in the outside world and grew up on her own."


    Even though he said that, it was true that Di Chen had had a great influence on Jie Long during this one year. It was just that sometimes Di Chen didn''t even notice it himself.


    Di Chen suddenly thought of the words of the Herba Hydrae, and asked: "Is Elder Ting truly preparing to let the examinees enter the Temple of Magi?"


    Elder Ting was startled: "How did you know?"


    Seeing that he really wanted to do this, Di Chen''s expression changed slightly as he said in shock: "I heard from Herba Hydrae that Elder Ting actually had such a plan, but doesn''t Elder Ting feel that it''s too dangerous?"


    Elder Ting laughed: "Perhaps you don''t know, but the truth is that not only is the talent of the patriarch astonishing, he also had to enter the Temple of Magi to pay respects to the Sorcerer and offend the Sorcerer''s recognition, but because of the change in the Temple of Magi, it was cancelled. It has been many years since anyone has entered the Temple of Magi, so I also want to take this opportunity to reopen the Temple of Magi.


    Anyone who entered the Temple of Magi would die without a trace. In Elder Ting''s opinion, if a person managed to survive the Temple of Magi and get the recognition of the Sorcerer, then wouldn''t such a person be more qualified to inherit the position of clan leader?


    Although it was dangerous to do so, the chosen person would instead be recognized by the people of the Witch race.


    Di Chen thought that although this idea was crazy, it still made sense. However, he was still a little worried about Jie Long, so he said: "Then I want to go in with Jie Long."


    Elder Ting knew that Di Chen was worried about Jie Long''s safety, and said with a frown: "Although this Temple of Magi is abandoned, it is still the most sacred place in my Witch race. How can an outsider like you enter?"


    The Temple of Magi was a place of worship for the people of Witch race, and only the patriarchs and elders of the Witch race were allowed to enter, even the normal people of Witch race had to retreat, let alone Di Chen.

 C273

    Di Chen retorted: "This Temple of Magi is dense with yin energy, there is no longer any hint of divinity here, I cannot enter, and am not considered an offense to the Sorcerer. I know that Elder Ting is worried that I would go in and break the rules, but you also said that those who can come out must be people recognized by the Sorcerer.


    Di Chen did not know if there were any Divine Magi present, he only knew that it would be dangerous to enter the Temple of Magi.


    Elder Ting didn''t expect Di Chen to say that, and he also agreed with Di Chen''s point of view. After all, this was the Temple of Magi and outsiders couldn''t do anything to them.


    "That''s good," Elder Ting agreed in the end. He then changed the topic, "But you must think this through carefully. Ever since the Temple of Magi was cursed, no one who entered the Temple of Magi to live.


    Di Chen glanced at the Temple of Magi. Even standing outside the hall, he could feel the terror of the Temple of Magi s. How could he not know how dangerous it would be if he entered.


    "I know," Di Chen said seriously, "But I think the rest of the Witch race would definitely not allow me to enter, I still need Elder Ting to tell them."


    The Temple of Magi was no longer as sacred as it was back then. To many people, this was actually a cursed land, and probably no one would care about it.


    "Big brother Di Chen, I found it, come quickly."


    It was at this time that Zha Zhu''s shout came from afar. It seemed that they had found the purple blood worm.


    Di Chen bowed to Elder Ting, then walked towards Zha Zhu.


    Elder Ting looked at Di Chen''s back curiously. Di Chen was the first outsider to enter Temple of Magi, he suddenly started to look forward to it, he did not know what would happen this time.


    Di Chen returned to Jie Wei''s side and asked: "Where is the purple blood worm?"


    Jie Long pointed in the distance. Not far away, there were traces of purple liquid flowing out of the ground. The soil had turned purple, and the weeds had withered and died.


    "That''s the poison from a purple blood worm, which means that there''s a purple blood worm in this subterranean."


    Jie Wei excitedly said: "And it''s an adult purple blood worm."


    purple blood worm''s lifespan was relatively short, so it was not easy to become an adult. However, this also meant that purple blood worm were very difficult to catch.


    After a while, the ground split open, and a football sized head came out from subterranean. The head was red in color, with two protruding eyeballs, a tentacle on top of the head and two fangs in its mouth.


    "Is this a purple blood worm?" Di Chen''s face was full of fear. He thought the purple blood worm was only the size of a finger, but this purple blood worm''s head was the size of a football.


    Zha Zhu explained: "purple blood worm is huge, but it''s the first time I''ve seen one this big. Be careful, don''t get infected by its poison."


    It sounded like Zha Zhu was afraid, but she was also excited.


    Following that, the purple blood worm came out from the subterranean. This purple blood worm was at least ten feet tall, with the appearance of a large cyan bug.


    Di Chen immediately moved out of the way, and the venom sprayed onto the place where Di Chen previously stood.


    "What a strong poison," Di Chen asked: "How do I capture this purple blood worm?"


    Jie Long explained: "You have to knock it out, but you can''t hurt it. If it dies, you won''t be able to refine it into a Gu."


    Zha Zhu immediately took out a small bottle and opened it for the Poison Child. Two meter-long centipedes crawled out and bit at the purple blood worm.


    The purple blood worm spat out another two streams of venom and sprayed it onto the two centipedes. The two centipedes twisted and struggled, their bodies instantly dyed purple and they stopped moving.


    "This ¡­" Di Chen''s face changed. Was the purple blood worm this powerful?


    Jie Qian took out a palm-sized wooden body and threw it out. The wooden body immediately turned into an ordinary person''s height, it ran towards the purple blood worm and shakily hugged it.


    The purple blood worm twisted its body, but was unable to break free.


    "Great chance," Jie Duo took out another bottle and rushed at the purple blood worm.


    "It''s dangerous," However, at this time, Di Chen pulled back the orange stalk with one hand, and in that instant, the puppet actually started to rot, in the blink of an eye it turned into ashes, the purple blood worm''s poison was corrosive.


    Jie Qian was so scared that his face turned pale. She knew that purple blood worm''s poison was powerful, but she never expected it to be so powerful. It seems like catching purple blood worm really wasn''t easy.


    "All of you retreat," Di Chen pushed Jie Qian to Zha Zhu''s side, and stared at the purple blood worm seriously.


    The purple blood worm spat out another mouthful of venom, this venom could not be touched at all, so Di Chen could not use Wind formula or Blast Character Formula to fight it head on.


    Di Chen wrote a word of protection, and the word of protection turned into a barrier that enveloped Di Chen''s body. This was Di Chen''s only defense formula, but this formula was rarely used by Di Chen.


    The venom sprayed onto Di Chen''s enchantment, making a sizzling sound. The enchantment released white smoke, the light flickering, as if it would collapse.


    "Even one of Luo Yumeng''s attacks might not be able to destroy my barrier, and this purple blood worm''s poison can even break through my protective formula?"


    Di Chen was secretly surprised, if he let the purple blood worm spew more venom, the enchantment would probably not be able to handle it anymore. He immediately wrote a word with his hand, and a wind blade cut towards the purple blood worm.


    With a chi sound, the wind blade landed directly on the skin of the purple blood worm, but was bounced off. The purple blood worm''s skin was very tough, like rubber.


    "Impossible," This time even Di Chen was a little surprised. His most powerful Wind formula was actually completely unable to harm the purple blood worm?


    At this time, the purple blood worm crawled over to Di Chen, swung its huge tail and ruthlessly smashed onto Di Chen''s enchantment barrier, directly turning Di Chen over and heavily smashing him onto the ground. The enchantment barrier also crumbled.


    "Di Chen..." Jie Wei''s face was full of worry, and wanted to help Di Chen up.


    "Don''t come over," Di Chen shouted. The purple blood worm was too dangerous.


    Jie Gan gritted his teeth and retreated, in his heart he was suddenly regretting that he did not catch the purple blood worm, the demonic insect was too dangerous.


    The purple blood worm crawled towards Di Chen once again. Di Chen wrote a protection character, forming a barrier around his body, then he took out a few pieces of paper with the word "spear" written on it and extended his hand out.


    The Spear Arts was not as powerful as the Wind formula, so naturally, it could not dodge the skin of the purple blood worm. The purple blood worm stared at the long spear as it crawled towards Di Chen, but Di Chen did not dodge.


    Suddenly!


    The purple blood worm''s body twisted and it let out a strange cry. It was obvious that it was injured.


    "Found it, over there," Di Chen noted that just now, the purple blood worm''s seven inches area was hit by a spear. Although the spear did not pierce through its skin, it seemed to have caused quite a bit of damage to him, which meant that the purple blood worm''s fatal weakness was at seven inches.


    Di Chen immediately took out another piece of paper with the word "Wind" written on it and stuck it out. A wind blade shot at seven inches away from the purple blood worm, causing it to twist again.


    "Jie Wei, hurry," Di Chen shouted. He could feel that the purple blood worm would not be numb for long.


    Jie Long immediately ran over and took out a small bottle. With a shake, the purple blood worm was put into the small bottle.


    "Enough," Jie Long shook the small bottle, after the purple blood worm was sucked into the bottle, it began to regain its ability to move, and continued to collide with the small bottle, but was unable to break through.


    Zha Zhu ran over and said excitedly: "Jie Wei, if our clan knows that you have caught a purple blood worm, they will definitely be shocked. Let''s quickly go back and take the examination tomorrow.


    Jie Wei nodded and put away the small bottle before walking with Di Chen to the Witch race.


    After the three of them left, Elder Ting suddenly walked out. He looked in the direction of the three people and smiled in satisfaction.


    After returning to the Witch race, Di Chen saw Yan Hui and You Mo at first glance.


    When Zha Zhu thought about how they wanted to kill him earlier, she got angry and wanted to find them to argue.


    Di Chen pulled Zha Zhu back and said: "Don''t go without evidence."


    Although Zha Zhu was not convinced, she still retreated. Witch race hated internal strife the most, and the clansmen did not know that they wanted to kill Zha Zhu earlier.


    Yan Hui seemed to have already expected that the Sky Horn Insects would not be able to kill Di Chen and the others, and was not surprised either. He smiled as he walked over, looked at Jie Long and said: "Looks like you are preparing to take the test tomorrow.


    Jie Wei stared at Yan Hui for a while and did not say a word. He went around Yan Hui and wanted to leave.


    You Mo stood in front of Jie Wei and laughed: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? This is the Witch race, we won''t hurt you."


    Di Chen was afraid of Jie Qian''s impulses, hence he laughed first: "Of course we aren''t afraid that you will hurt us, after all, you have to have the ability to do so, I am afraid that I will hurt you."


    This was naked contempt towards Yan Hui and You Mo.


    You Mo''s face turned cold, and said in a low voice: "Even though you were brought back by Jie Long, you are not a member of my Witch race, so I advise you not to be too arrogant, if not don''t don''t blame us for being rude. You need to know, no one will help you after killing your Witch race."


    Di Chen laughed but did not say a word, pulling Jie Wei and walked away.


    You Mo did not hold his hand this time, he looked at Di Chen and said: "Your friend is very self-aware, but you are not, you are far more foolish than her, I hope you can live past that, understand?"


    Jie Qian heard that You Mo wanted to kill Di Chen and was so angry that he wanted to attack.


    Di Chen slightly shook his head, indicating for Jie Wei to not act carelessly, then turned around and looked at You Mo playfully. His gaze landed on the top of You Mo''s head, and the power of the scholar surged into his life force.


    You Mo suddenly felt a chill in his body, his hands hugging his shoulders, he frowned: "What''s going on?"


    Di Chen stared at You Mo for a while, and then left without saying a word. You Mo was not a martial artist, he could easily erase his HP, and now that You Mo had only three hours left, he did not kill You Mo immediately because he was afraid of being suspected of being suspicious. After doing this, Di Chen left.


    Jie Qian had seen Di Chen erasing other people''s HP before, but she knew that one of the Curses Technique could reduce another person''s HP. However, the entire Witch race knew that this Curse Technique, if she were to use it, You Mo would definitely find out and have a way to resist it.

 C274

    "Why was it so cold earlier?" You Mo could feel a chill coming from his body, but now that the coldness had disappeared, he did not know what was going on.


    Yan Hui frowned: "Could it be that it was Di Chen who did this to you?


    You Mo moved his body a bit, but there was nothing wrong with it. He shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with my body, maybe I was overthinking it, but this Di Chen is really a threat to us, we need to think of a way to kill him."


    Yan Hui did not directly answer that question, but he could still tell that Di Chen was the biggest obstacle for him in fighting for the position of Patriarch''s successor. He would definitely help Jie Wei.


    Jie Qian knew what it was like for Di Chen to wipe away another person''s HP. He asked Di Chen: "Big Brother Di Chen, how much longer can You Mo live?"


    Di Chen smiled and said: "Three hours."


    Jie Duo let out an "oh", and wasn''t surprised at all.


    Zha Zhu had a face full of doubt, "What are you all talking about? How do you all know that You Mo can only live for three hours?"


    He thought to himself, was Di Chen planning to kill You Mo in three hours?


    But this was also impossible. Di Chen couldn''t just casually kill someone in the Witch race, otherwise, he would definitely be suspected.


    Di Chen did not explain and laughed: "Hurry back to cultivate, prepare for tomorrow."


    stared blankly as he nodded his head, then left together with Jie Long while Di Chen returned to his yurt to recover his physical strength at first, then he started to cultivate.


    Di Chen had been rushing the entire time, and the cultivation level of the scholars had not increased by much. He was prepared to calm his heart and properly raise the cultivation level of the scholars.


    Di Chen took out < Soul Painting > and continued to read. It was the same as before, Di Chen could not see the words in front of < Soul Painting > clearly, it required the use of the powers of a scholar to read. However, every time he read a part of a character, Di Chen''s powers of a scholar would increase by a lot.


    Ever since Elder Hong and Elder Ting had decided to choose the next successor of the clan leader through an examination, Yan Huai had been urging Yan Hui to train. Although it had only been two days, Yan Hui''s spellcasting had increased by a lot.


    "Do you know how the two elders are preparing to test you two this time?"


    Inside a certain yurt, Yan Huai asked Yan Hui while looking at him seriously.


    Yan Hui thought for a while and said: "It''s nothing more than letting us compete in witchcraft. Father, don''t worry, although my innate talent is not as good as Jie Long''s, my witchcraft has improved a lot during this period of time. I won''t lose to her."


    Yan Huai shook his head: "I''ve asked the two elders before, they do not plan on letting you two compete like the warriors outside. They are prepared to let all of you who want to inherit the clan leader''s name enter the Temple of Magi, and the one who can survive is the clan leader''s successor."


    "What?" Yan Hui was shocked, he still had some confidence in being able to win in a match, but he was not confident that he could enter the Temple of Magi.


    All these years, many people had entered the Temple of Magi, but none of them had made it out alive.


    Yan Hui''s voice trembled: "Don''t the two elders feel that it''s dangerous doing this, it''s very likely that none of us will be able to leave."


    Yan Huai said seriously: "Then that means none of you are fit to inherit the position of Patriarch ¡­"


    At this point, Yan Huai could not help but sigh: "Actually, I was against the two elders doing this before, but they had already made up their minds, and I had no way of changing their minds."


    Hearing that, Yan Huai did not agree with the two elders, but there was no other way, the two elders had already made up their minds.


    Yan Hui seemed to be a little afraid, but he clenched his teeth and said: "No matter what, I will give it a try."


    Temple of Magi was said to be an evil land by the Witch race, no one had ever entered it, and Yan Hui didn''t have any confidence, but in the end, he wasn''t able to resist the enticement of the Patriarch.


    "Then I better not go," At this time, You Mo who was at the side started to retreat, he admitted that his magic was not as good as Yan Hui''s, and if he went in, he would just be throwing his life away.


    Yan Hui frowned, he had initially hoped that You Mo could help him during the assessment, but it seemed that did not care, as You Mo''s techniques were ordinary, he would not be able to help much.


    Oh right, "Yan Huai suddenly said." That Di Chen is very powerful, I believe he will not stand by and watch.


    You Mo laughed and said: "He will not live long, once it is night time, I will use the Curse Technique to kill him."


    Yan Huai frowned, but did not say anything. After all, Di Chen was an outsider so killing him was not a big deal.


    Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Without any warning, You Mo fell straight to the ground. This scene happened so suddenly that Yan Huai did not even have time to react.


    "You Mo," Yan Hui pushed at You Mo''s body, but You Mo did not move at all. Yan Hui tried to take a breath of his, and was instantly shocked: "Dead?"


    Yan Huai also checked You Mo''s pulse, he was truly dead, and frowned: "What happened?"


    He did not discover any outsiders from You Mo''s body, nor did he show any signs of being poisoned, but how could he have been killed for no reason?


    "Don''t tell me that it was a curse cast by Jie Duo?" Yan Hui turned You Mo''s body, and did not see any seals. However, there were a lot of Curses and Arts used to kill people in Witch race, and not every one of them required an array to be drawn on the dead person''s body.


    How could Yan Hui endure if Jie Wei killed You Mo like this? He said angrily, "I''ll go find her and settle the score."


    "Come back," Yan Huai berated. "You have no way of proving that she was the one who killed them. Don''t go, you still have to take the examination tomorrow.


    The most important thing was that Yan Huai did not feel the aura of the mission''s curse. He did not think that You Mo had died in the Curse Technique, and there was a high possibility that it was done by Di Chen.


    Yan Hui thought about it but still decided to return. He looked at You Mo''s corpse and although he was angry, he did not put You Mo''s death in his heart.


    "I will definitely kill them tomorrow." Yan Hui thought that he couldn''t kill them now, but if he went to the Temple of Magi tomorrow, it would be different.


    "Phew ¡­" Di Chen let out a long breath. When he regained his senses, it was already the second day, he stopped flipping through < Soul Painting >, and felt the power of the scholars in his body, the power of the scholars had increased a lot, but it would take a while before he could break through the Wen Huang double stage.


    At this time, Jie Qian walked over, he looked at Di Chen and said: "Big brother Di Chen, the examination is about to begin, let''s go."


    Di Chen asked curiously: "Did you refine your purple blood worm into a parasite?"


    Jie Long smiled and nodded: "Yesterday, Zha Zhu helped me for a whole day. The purple blood worm was already refined by me in the insect Gu."


    Di Chen had seen the power of purple blood worm, with this Insect Gu, he believed that Jie Wei would be safer.


    When the two of them walked out of the yurt, Witch race''s people were already waiting outside. In the middle, there were Elder Hong, Elder Ting, Herba Hydrae and Yan Huai.


    "A few days ago, I told you that we are preparing to take the examination to choose a new successor. After two days of discussion, Elder Hong and I have decided on the method."


    Elder Ting''s gaze swept across every excited person, and only after a short pause did he continue: "All those who want to take the examination, enter the Temple of Magi, and those who survive will be able to inherit the position of Patriarch."


    "What?" Enter the Temple of Magi? Temple of Magi is so dangerous, aren''t we just sending ourselves to our deaths? "


    "Elder Ting, isn''t it too dangerous to do this? Why don''t you use another method?"


    Hearing this, the people of Witch race immediately erupted into an uproar, their originally excited faces became filled with fear, as though everyone was opposed to this.


    Ever since the Temple of Magi was closed, no one went in. Even the elders would die in that place, so wouldn''t letting these juniors in just be throwing their lives away?


    Herba Hydrae and Yan Huai had already known about it from the beginning, but they did not say anything.


    Elder Hong walked out, but upon seeing him, the crowd immediately quieted down, and said: "Although the Temple of Magi is dangerous, it is still the inheritance of our Witch race, if there is still someone who is able to leave the Temple of Magi under such circumstances, it means that he has received the recognition of the Sorcerer, and that such a person is naturally qualified to inherit the position of clan leader. Although it is dangerous, the talents chosen like him are qualified."


    "But what if no one comes out alive?"


    It was not like this had never happened before. After all, no one had been able to walk out of the Temple of Magi alive all these years.


    Elder Hong said calmly, "That means those who enter are not qualified. If you feel that it''s dangerous, you can avoid entering. No one will stop you."


    Hearing that Elder Hong had already made up her mind, the crowd finally decided not to refute him. They could only nod their heads in agreement.


    "Follow me," Clan Elder Hong said as he walked towards the Temple of Magi, with the rest following closely behind. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Temple of Magi.


    Temple of Magi still released a wave of Evil Qi, the rest of the Witch race did not dare approach.


    Clan Elder Hong waved her hand, and the door to the Temple of Magi opened. The hall was shrouded in darkness, the door was like the mouth of an evil spirit waiting for everyone to enter, before even entering, he could feel the Evil Qi of the Temple of Magi.


    Herba Hydrae frowned. "The Sorcerer has been closed for too long, this is the first time he''s opened it today.


    Saying this, she revealed a hint of worry, wasn''t such a heavy demonic energy sending these juniors to their deaths?


    Elder Ting said: "No one knows why Temple of Magi has suddenly become so evil. Actually, it''s good to let these juniors in this time. Maybe there will be someone who will find out the reason by chance."


    At this point, his gaze could not help but fall on a certain person.


    Elder Hong looked at the time, looked at the crowd, and said, "Those who are willing to participate in the examination can enter by themselves. If not, we won''t force them."


    Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Unexpectedly, no one was willing to be the first to enter. The people who were waiting to take action earlier all became timid.

 C275

    At this time, Yan Hui walked out first. He bowed to the two elders, and without saying a word, he entered the Temple of Magi.


    Seeing Yan Hui entering, everyone inhaled a breath of cold air, with someone taking the lead, the others became braver, and at this time, a few more people hesitated for a moment before walking in.


    Jie Long thought about it and then prepared to go in, but Di Chen followed him.


    "Hmm?" Yan Huai took a step in front of Di Chen, and said with a stern voice. "This is the sacred ground of the Witch race, how can you, an outsider, enter?"


    Elder Hong also frowned: "Di Chen, although you saved Jie Yuan, you are not allowed to casually enter our Witch race''s Sacred Grounds. You can stay outside."


    Di Chen thought that Elder Ting had yet to tell them, so he said while clasping his hands: "But Elder Ting has already agreed for me to go in."


    Elder Hong frowned, but did not say anything. Herba Hydrae had a surprised face, she never expected Elder Ting to agree to this kind of thing.


    Yan Huai was startled, he looked at Elder Ting and asked: "Elder Ting, is what he said true?"


    Elder Ting smiled and nodded: "I did agree to let Di Chen enter earlier."


    Yan Huai was puzzled: "This is our Witch race''s holy realm, how can we allow an outsider to enter?"


    "That''s right, Witch race''s rules, Temple of Magi forbids outsiders from entering. Elder Ting, what you said is in accordance with Witch race''s rules."


    The people from the Witch race naturally would not agree.


    Furthermore, the rules of the Witch race is that only the elders and the Patriarch can enter the Temple of Magi. Right now, allowing these juniors to enter the Temple of Magi is already against the rules, so what if Di Chen is allowed to enter? "


    Other than the elders and the patriarchs, the normal clansmen and outsiders were not qualified to enter the Desolate God Shrine. However, now that Elder Ting had allowed the younger generation to enter, it was already a violation of the rules. Since this was the case, it was understandable that Di Chen had entered the hall again.


    Although the crowd did not agree, what Elder Ting said made sense. If they wanted to go in, Elder Ting would not object, but they did not dare to.


    Yan Huai retorted: "But this Di Chen is on good terms with Jie Qian. This time, we are taking the test for the new Clan Chief. This Di Chen will definitely help Jie Qian.


    Elder Ting didn''t think so. "It''s up to the Sorcerer to decide whether or not he can inherit the position of the clan leader. If the Sorcerer doesn''t admit, what''s the use of helping Jie Duo?"


    Yan Huai had nothing to say. He had previously arranged a few juniors to go and help Yan Hui regarding the matter, so the two elders naturally knew about this matter. However, they did not say anything.


    Elder Hong finally voted: "Di Chen, since you want to go in, then go in. However, there is one thing I want to tell you, this Temple of Magi is very dangerous, you have to bear the consequences of going in."


    "Yes," Di Chen said as he bowed. How could he not know how dangerous it was to enter the Temple of Magi s.


    Just as Di Chen and Jie Qian wanted to enter, Zha Zhu also followed: "I want to go in too."


    Di Chen shook his head: "No, you stay outside."


    Zha Zhu''s strength was simply too weak. Him entering was of no use to Di Chen at all.


    It was very dark in the hall, and there were waves of evil Qi surrounding it, causing one to feel a bit afraid standing in the hall. In front of the hall, there was a huge statue, and that statue was a huge man holding a magic staff. This was the Sorcerer that Witch race had always been paying his respects to, and there were also a few other tunnels around, and this was the place that led to other parts of the hall.


    "Hmm?" Yan Hui saw Di Chen at first glance and said in shock, "Di Chen, why did you come in? This is our Witch race''s holy land."


    Di Chen smiled and said: "I was able to enter because of the two elders, if you have any objections, you can go and find the two elders."


    Yan Hui naturally knew that the two elders had agreed to it, if not, Di Chen would never come in here. He snorted: "This is the Temple of Magi, even the people from our Witch race would be in danger, not to mention you are an outsider, just you wait to die."


    Di Chen smiled and did not speak. He quietly waited in the hall, and then, several more people walked in, and in the end, a total of ten people entered.


    When no one else came in, the door to the hall suddenly closed. The hall immediately turned dark, and the silhouette of the other party could be vaguely seen.


    "Be careful," Di Chen said as he pulled Jie Qian to his side. He could vaguely sense that a dangerous aura was approaching.


    Just then, Yan Hui walked over again. There were two people beside him, one of whom Di Chen had met before, on the left side was Soya, the one wearing the Bone Ring was called Wen Donna, the one on the right was Wen Donna. Their father was someone that Yan Hui thought highly of, and they had only come to help Yan Hui this time.


    When the others saw Yan Hui leading his people towards Jie Wei, they knew that the situation wasn''t good. After all, this Jie Wei was Yan Hui''s biggest competitor.


    Di Chen was not afraid, he smiled and asked: What''s the matter?


    Yan Hui asked seriously: "Earlier, when You Mo suddenly died, was it you who did it?"


    Di Chen laughed: "I''ve been cultivating all this time, what did you say? I killed it, did you see it with your own eyes?"


    Yan Hui snorted: "Although I did not personally witness it, but I can guess that it must be you. Our Witch race will not kill our own people, and you are the only outsider in this Witch race, who else could it be?"


    Other people actually knew about You Mo''s sudden death, but because the assessment was near, no one had anything to do with it. After hearing Yan Hui mention this matter, they all looked over curiously. In fact, what Yan Hui said made sense, as though other than Di Chen, no one else had the possibility of doing so.


    Just that You Mo had used the Sky Horn Insect to kill Jie Long, and you said that the Witch race would not harm their own people?


    Di Chen did not want to argue, so he smiled and said: "You''ve already determined that it''s me, and I say it''s not something you''ll believe, but even if I killed you, so what? This Temple of Magi is extremely dangerous, and you still have the mood to deal with us?"


    Yan Hui disapproved: "We have just entered the great hall, it wouldn''t be too late to kill you if we were to encounter any danger."


    By the time he said this, Soar and Windona were already on the verge of moving.


    Di Chen didn''t mind as he continued to look at the other party playfully.


    "Ah ¡­" However, at this moment, a blood-curdling scream came from the side. Everyone turned around and saw a corpse lying on the ground, it was a person from the Witch race.


    The others were scared and quickly retreated.


    Yan Hui did not care about Di Chen at this time, and said in shock: "What''s going on, who did it?"


    "I saw a black shadow just now, it must be a ghost," someone said with a trembling voice.


    There was only the people from the Witch race here, and no one else, but this person from the Witch race was instantly torn into two, but unfortunately, no one saw who did it.


    Di Chen pulled Jie Qian behind him, and vigilantly looked around. He did not discover any auras, but obviously, there was some kind of terrifying power hidden here.


    "Ah ¡­" At this time, there was another scream, and another Witch race disciple was ripped into two. Everyone looked at that person who was lying in a pool of blood, but they still did not see who did it.


    "This place is too dangerous. I can''t stay here."


    Some people were scared, and didn''t dare to stay any longer. They just wanted to run out of the hall.


    However, at this time, a black shadow suddenly floated to the door of the hall and blocked the person''s direction. That black shadow was humanoid, its outline blurry and distorted like a ghost shadow.


    The ghost shadow''s claws pierced into the man''s body and with a forceful break, the man was torn into two halves. Blood and organs splattered the ground, and then the ghost shadow floated out again, its body became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared.


    Di Chen still did not know what those ghost shadow were. All he knew was that they were in danger, so he pulled Jie Long and ran towards a small path on the left side of the great hall.


    At the same time, the rest of the Witch race s ran away screaming, but no one dared to approach the main entrance of the palace.


    Di Chen did not know how many he had ran, and there were no ghost shadow chasing him from behind either. When he stopped, he saw many secret paths around him.


    Jie Long said with a little fear: "Big Brother Di Chen, what exactly is that? Could it really be a ghost?"


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows: Those ghost shadow s'' auras are very similar to the ones you used to send out the ghosts.


    It was not the first time Di Chen had seen the ghost shadow, on his first trip to Nether Moon Sect, he accidentally offended someone from the sect. At that time, there was already someone controlling the ghost shadow to kill Di Chen, so even though Di Chen was surprised, he could still accept it.


    Jie Wei said worriedly, "Then what should we do? My spells are aimed at living people, but there is no magic that can kill these evil spirits."


    Di Chen was also in a bit of a dilemma. Among all the cultivation techniques, the Wind formula was the strongest, but it was a real person that had to be killed.


    Di Chen thought that he had to figure out what was needed to make a good decision.


    Phew...


    Just then, a burst of cold wind blew over, and a ghost shadow appeared in front of Di Chen and grabbed him.


    "Not good," Di Chen''s face changed, and he immediately wrote a protection character on the ground, forming a barrier in front of him.


    The ghost shadow caught hold of the barrier and with a pfft sound, it bounced off. However, it did not have any effect on the barrier.


    Di Chen took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it out. The power of the scholar poured into it and with a boom, the ghost shadow let out a miserable scream and immediately turned into a gust of Qi and disappeared.


    Di Chen was excited when he saw this. This Blast Character Formula was extremely powerful, it could even distort space. It was just nice to be able to deal with these ghost shadow.


    Jie Qian said in pleasant surprise: "Di Chen, just now, your Blast Character Formula was able to deal with these ghost shadow. Looks like we don''t have to be afraid."


    Di Chen laughed: "But we cannot be careless, there might be other things here, even if this Temple of Magi is cursed, we do not know if these things are related to it."


    Di Chen suddenly remembered that he had seen that ghost shadow somewhere before. It was just that he couldn''t recall where he had seen it before.

 C276

    "In short, find a place to hide first. Elder Ting''s examination only allowed us to stay in Temple of Magi for three days, it''s not that big of a deal."


    Di Chen wasn''t actually afraid of these ghost shadow, he thought that his Blast Character Formula was just enough to restrain them, and it wouldn''t be difficult for him to stay for three days.


    "Help ¡­" It was at this moment that the sound of help came from afar, and then, a man ran out from the darkness. Upon seeing Jie Long and Di Chen, his face was immediately filled with surprise, and he immediately rushed over, anxiously shouting: "Jie Wei, save me!"


    Jie Wei looked at the man in confusion and asked, "Sui Sui, what''s wrong?"


    Suzy pointed to behind her, and said in a trembling voice, "ghost shadow ¡­ A large number of ghost shadow. "


    Before he could even finish his sentence, a few ghost shadow floated over. These ghost shadow had twisted shapes and their faces were sinister.


    Di Chen immediately took out two pieces of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw them.


    "Dead?" Seeing how Di Chen was able to easily kill a few ghost shadow, Sui Sui Sui was surprised, then said: "These ghost shadow cannot be killed with swords, the Curse Techniques of our Witch race is also useless. My methods just now were nothing, you are so powerful, you were killed so easily."


    Di Chen laughed: "Coincidentally, my technique can only restrain these ghost shadow."


    There were actually many ways to kill these ghost shadow. For example, even fire cultivation technique could be used, but Sui Sui didn''t know how to do it.


    "By the way," said Suzy quickly, "can I stay with you?"


    Di Chen, on the other hand, did not mind, and nodded: "Alright, we just want to find a place to hide for a while, you should come with us."


    Actually, she was just an ordinary person in Witch race. It didn''t matter if Di Chen took her, as long as he didn''t implicate her.


    The few of them immediately headed in the opposite direction. In Di Chen''s hand was an exploding letter and a formula that was protecting them. These ghost shadow came and went without a trace, and Di Chen was prepared to deal with them at any time.


    Di Chen and the other two walked for half a day but were unable to find an exit. On the way, they saw many secret rooms, only that they were all closed and had spells cast on them that made them unable to open the door. Di Chen also did not dare to break open the door, afraid that there was something scary.


    "Hmm?" Suzy suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, "There''s a secret room over there. This room doesn''t look like the previous one."


    The door to the secret room was very large, and outside of the room were two statues. These two statues were Ox-Head and Horse-Face. They held forks in their hands, and their bodies were covered in talisman markings.


    Di Chen stared at the statue for a while, then frowned: "To actually use a statue to guard this place, it seems that there is some extraordinary object inside, maybe even some of the Witch race''s spells."


    The Temple of Magi was originally an elder of the Witch race, and the patriarch was cultivating in this place as well. It was actually normal for him to leave behind the Witch race''s magic techniques or divine tools.


    "Shall we go in and take a look?" Suzy had been afraid before, but when she thought about the possibility of magic left behind by the previous clan leader in this secret chamber, her face lit up with excitement. She didn''t even think that it might be dangerous.


    Jie Qian objected: "I feel that there''s a wave of evil energy in this secret room. It should be very dangerous. I think it''s better not to go in there."


    "With Di Chen here, what''s there to be afraid of? Di Chen, go check if there''s any danger."


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows, this secret room might be dangerous, but for Sui Sui to let him take the risk while she wants the things inside?


    Di Chen thought that this Sui Sui Sui might not be harming him, but she was definitely a selfish person, it would be dangerous for him to move with such a guy. He would definitely be the first one to think about himself when things go wrong.


    "I''ll go take a look," Di Chen thought to himself that it didn''t matter if there were any spells, at least it was a good place to hide, so he slowly walked over.


    Di Chen moved slowly, but it did not seem to be dangerous. Just as Di Chen was about to approach the secret room, the Ox-head Statue''s eyes suddenly turned, and a few small stones dropped from its body. The Ox-head Statue wielded a steel trident and pierced towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen immediately used his protective formula s, as a barrier enveloped Di Chen''s body.


    The Ox-head Statue then pierced through Di Chen''s enchantment, and with a loud bang, although it did not manage to break the enchantment, it still sent Di Chen flying dozens of metres away.


    Following which, the Ox-head statue took large strides towards the orange stalk. Every step it took caused the ground to rumble and tremble.


    Jie Long immediately took out a puppet and threw it towards the Ox-head Statue, and the Ox-head Statue raised his knife and fork and stabbed them onto the puppet''s body. Jie Long''s puppet was actually very weak, and was unable to take a single hit from the Ox-head Statue, and was smashed into pieces.


    "Di Chen, quickly dodge," Di Chen shouted loudly. If he was stabbed by the spear, he would definitely die.


    Jie Long immediately took out a small umbrella and placed it in front of him. It was the Primordius Umbrella, and previously, in order to guarantee Jie Long''s victory, Huai Yu, the young Sect Leader of the Five Ghosts Sect, had handed the spirit weapon over to Jie Long.


    Bang!


    The steel trident pierced onto the Primordius Umbrella, and Jie Wei only felt a huge force slap onto his body. His entire body flew backwards, falling heavily beside Di Chen as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Di Chen hurriedly helped Jie Wei up, and said: "How is it, are you alright?"


    Jie Wei shook his head: "I''m fine, this Ox-head Statue is too awesome. Big Brother Di Chen, let''s go."


    "That won''t do," Di Chen said seriously. "Since there''s such a powerful statue guarding this secret room, it means that there''s definitely something good inside, and it''s very likely to be very safe. We must definitely enter."


    "But ¡­" Jie Wei was still worried that Di Chen would not be able to beat the statue.


    Di Chen waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, he then wrote a character that turned into a wind blade and shot towards the statue. Peng!, the wind blades did not cause any damage to the statue, the statue was extremely hard, even Di Chen''s strongest wind formula was not able to break it.


    "Although this statue is tough, its movements are slow and it has a chance."


    Di Chen immediately took a step towards the sculpture, and the sculpture immediately raised and thrusted with the steel trident. Di Chen tilted his head, and dangerously dodged the steel trident, and at the same time, smashed his fist onto the sculpture.


    Di Chen was secretly happy that he could beat them. He punched again with his fists, and with every punch he punched, the Ox-head Statue would shatter into pieces. After a few punches, the Ox-head Statue would fall to the ground with a crash.


    Di Chen shook his aching arms and heaved a sigh of relief: "It''s finally broken."


    Jie Wei said in delight: "Big Brother Di Chen, how are you doing?"


    Di Chen said: "This statue is also very strong, but it is very slow, actually breaking it is not difficult."


    The truth was that the process was very dangerous, and with the power of the statue, it was very possible that Di Chen would be killed if he got hit by it.


    The fact that this Ox-head Statue could survive meant that another Horse-Face Statue could survive as well. Di Chen told Jie Long and Sui Xiong to stay put and walked towards that statue again. He was prepared to destroy this sculpture like how you destroyed it just now.


    Just as Di Chen got closer, not only did the horse-faced statue come back to life, it shook off the broken rocks on its body and suddenly rushed towards Di Chen, raising its steel fork and thrusting towards him.


    "So fast?" Di Chen realised that the horse mask statue''s speed was even faster than a normal human being. He cursed in his heart, and before he could even react, he was ruthlessly hit by the horse mask statue''s attack, causing him to retreat a few steps. Luckily he had formula s on him, if not, he would have been in danger.


    "This statue''s speed is very fast, but its power is a bit weaker," Di Chen immediately understood that the two statues had their own advantages. He then used Wind formula and slashed the statue with Wind Blade, but also did not cause any damage.


    Di Chen did not dare to fight it head on, and immediately retreated, the statue was fast, it was not easy for Di Chen to attack it.


    Jie Wei said worriedly: "Big Brother Di Chen, this statue is different from the previous one. What should we do?"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "Isn''t your purple blood worm corrosive? Try it."


    Jie Qian immediately took out a small bottle, and inside the bottle was a purple-coloured bug that was as long as a finger. Jie Long opened the bottle and saw that the purple blood worm was about ten feet tall, Jie Long controlled it to spit out a mouthful of poison.


    Although the statue was very fast, there was no place to hide in this small space. The venom sprayed directly onto the statue, causing it to immediately smoke and corrode a large portion of it.


    "What a powerful poison," Di Chen never thought that this tiny bit of poison could actually corrode the sculpture to such an extent, the sculpture''s runes were destroyed, his movements becoming slow, Di Chen seized the chance to rush to the statue and smash his fist onto it, smashing the sculpture.


    With both statues destroyed, there was nothing left to stop Di Chen from entering the secret room.


    "Jie Long," Sui Sui cried out in surprise. "Where did you catch such a big purple blood worm?"


    purple blood worm were rarely seen, let alone this kind of mature purple blood worm. If people from Witch race knew about this, they would be surprised.


    Jie Qian kept the purple blood worm and casually said: "Big Brother Di Chen helped me catch it before."


    She did not want to explain in detail why the purple blood worm was her trump card, and it would be best used less in the future, but this time it was all thanks to the purple blood worm, otherwise, Di Chen would not be able to easily destroy the statue.


    "Let''s go in," Di Chen said as he brought Jie Qian into the secret room. The secret room was about twenty meters wide, and in the front of the room, there was a sculpture, it looked exactly like the statue in the hall, but the sculpture was a bit smaller, and the statue didn''t hold a skeleton cane, but a scroll. Other than that, the room was very empty, and there wasn''t anything special about the room.


    Suzy spotted the scroll in the statue''s hand and said in surprise, "That must have been left behind by the Sorcerer."


    As he spoke, he wanted to grab the scroll.


    Di Chen pulled him back and said seriously: "Don''t go over, there might be danger."


    Suzy disagreed: "The secret chamber is empty. There won''t be any danger."


    Su Yun also did not listen to Di Chen''s advice, and directly ran towards the statue.

 C277

    Just then, a ghost shadow floated out from the statue, its claws grabbing onto Sui Sui''s body, it used its strength and broke Sui Sui into two, the fresh blood and flesh immediately gushing out, following that it floated towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" written on it and threw it.


    Although she didn''t have much feelings for Suzy, she could not help sighing upon seeing him die so miserably. "Suzy didn''t have any intention of harming others, but she was too greedy and selfish," she said.


    If not for him wanting to grab that scroll just now, he wouldn''t have been killed by the ghost shadow.


    Whoosh!


    "Jie Wei, come back," Di Chen suddenly saw a black gas gush out from Sui Sui''s body. Soon after, he saw a ghost shadow float out from Sui Sui''s body.


    Di Chen immediately used Blast Character Formula to blast the ghost shadow to pieces. Just a little bit away from killing the ghost shadow.


    "That was close," Di Chen gasped, he really did not expect the ghost shadow to float out from Sui Sui''s body.


    Jie Wei saw that the ghost shadow still didn''t understand what it was, and exclaimed in shock: "So those ghost shadow were the souls of the people who died here."


    Only then did Di Chen understand why the ghost shadow he saw before was so familiar. So it was the person who came for the examination, but why would he remain in the Temple of Magi after his soul enters the reincarnation cycle?


    Di Chen''s heart was suddenly filled with many questions, but he did not have enough time to ask any more questions. He held the word ''explode'' slip and looked around, and only after confirming that there were no ghost shadow around, did he relax his guard. His gaze landed on the Sorcerer Statue, and after thinking about it, he walked over.


    "Big Brother Di Chen, don''t go over," Jie Wei was worried that Di Chen might be in danger.


    Di Chen waved his hand, and still walked over carefully, slowly approaching the Sorcerer Statue. Fortunately, there was no danger this time, so Di Chen took the scroll in the statue''s hands, then pulled it back.


    This scroll had the words "Sorcerer''s Curse" written on it. It was a spell that Di Chen had never seen before and he passed it to Jie Wei.


    This Sorcerer''s curse was created by the Sorcerer himself. It was extremely evil, but it was very powerful, and only the Patriarch of the previous generation could train in it. However, after the death of the previous Patriarch, this Sorcerer''s curse disappeared, and he didn''t know where it had fallen to.


    Di Chen could tell that the Sorcerer Curse was not an ordinary sorcery and laughed, "It seems that it''s not a loss coming in this time, Jie Long, can you cultivate it now?"


    Jie Wei thought about it and said, "It can be, but it will take a long time to cultivate. I won''t be able to learn it in a short time."


    Di Chen laughed: "In any case, we won''t be able to get out in a while, so I''ll train as much as you can. It just so happens that I can break through to the Emperor''s double stage as well."


    This Sorcerer Curse is actually a technique of curses, such as being able to curse others'' illnesses, to curse their souls to dissipate them, etc., the stronger the curse, the harder it is to cultivate, but some of the simpler Sorcerer Curses like the one in front can still be cultivated, she immediately retreated back to the corner of the secret room to start her cultivation.


    Di Chen also went around the corner and took out < Soul Painting > to read, the book was the same as before, when Di Chen saw the words, he immediately felt the power of a scholar surge into his body, but absorbing the power from the book was not easy, with Di Chen''s cultivation speed, it would take at least half a month before he could break through into the new realm.


    As time passed, the two of them continued to train, unaware that the secret room had already begun to change.


    "Hmm?" Because he knew how dangerous it was here, Di Chen was not immersed in his cultivation, and was constantly paying attention to the changes in his surroundings. Di Chen suddenly realised that the secret room seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, previously, it was thirty square meters, but now, it was reduced by half, as if the secret room was growing tighter and tighter.


    Di Chen immediately walked to his side and interrupted her cultivation, saying: "Jie Wei, let''s quickly leave this place."


    Jie Qian still didn''t understand and asked puzzledly: "Big Brother Di Chen, what''s wrong? I took a lot of effort to finally learn a little, I was just about to continue learning."


    Di Chen pointed around and said: "Look, if we don''t leave soon, the two of us will be in danger."


    However, Di Chen suddenly realized that the secret room''s door was locked tight, and that he could not open it at all. Di Chen immediately threw a punch, causing the stone door to shake violently, but Di Chen did not smash the door open, as the stone door was even harder than the statues outside. Di Chen smashed the door a dozen times without any signs of breaking down.


    "Crap," Di Chen''s face changed, he was strong, even he could not smash this door, how hard must this door be?


    Jie Wei was naturally at his wit''s end and worriedly asked: "Big Brother Di Chen, what should we do?"


    Di Chen frowned: "The secret room cannot suddenly change, it must be because we activated the array formation."


    As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the scroll and immediately walked in front of the Sorcerer Statue. As expected, he discovered that the Sorcerer Statue was engraved with runes, and only now did he understand, the Sorcerer Curse was definitely a part of the formation, and once he received the Sorcerer Curse he would activate the formation here. In truth, he could understand, the Sorcerer Curse was the most powerful spell in the entire Witch race, how could it be taken away so easily?


    Di Chen suddenly thought of something. If the person who laid the array formation wanted to kill the person who stole the scroll, why not use an even more powerful array or make the secret room shrink faster?


    "It looks like this is definitely an assessment," Di Chen thought to himself. This meant that the formation had intentionally kept some time, this meant that he had deliberately tested the person who had entered, so since that was the case, there must be a way to prevent the formation or escape.


    Di Chen thought about it and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Jie Wei and shouted: "Quickly find out if there are any secret rooms to lock this place down."


    This secret room was completely empty. If there was a mechanism or a formation, it would be very easy to see, but the two of them searched around and didn''t find anything.


    "Could it be this sculpture?" Di Chen looked around the Sorcerer Statue again, but he didn''t see any sort of trap mechanism at all.


    Di Chen stared at the statue and thought for a while before saying: "Maybe it''s inside the statue, I should try breaking it."


    Jie Qian immediately stopped Di Chen and said: "Big Brother Di Chen, this is the Sorcerer Statue, after it is broken, you will be met with the revenge of the Sorcerer."


    Witch race was very respectful towards the Sorcerer and would never rashly destroy the statue of the Sorcerer.


    Di Chen said: "If we can''t leave this secret room, the Sorcerer won''t be able to save us. Jie Long, I know that your Witch race is very respectful to the Sorcerer, but this is only a sculpture, don''t worry."


    Seeing that Di Chen insisted and still nodded, punched towards the Sorcerer Statue. The statue was not as hard as the walls in the secret room, and was directly smashed into pieces by Di Chen.


    However, the moment it was shattered, a black figure floated out.


    "Not good," Di Chen''s face changed, he never thought that the statue was still hiding a ghost shadow, he immediately pulled on Jie Wei and retreated, wanting to use Blast Character Formula.


    "Wait ¡­" However, at this moment, the black shadow suddenly spoke.


    "Can you speak?" This was the first time Di Chen had seen a talking ghost shadow, he immediately retracted his power as a scholar and curiously looked at the black shadow. Only then did he see that the black shadow was different from the ghost shadow before.


    Di Chen was startled for a moment, and asked in alarm: "Who exactly are you?"


    This black shadow emitted the aura of those ghost shadow, but his consciousness did not dissipate. This guy must have been an expert when he was alive.


    "Me?" When the black shadow thought of his identity, a look of amazement appeared on his face. After a long period of silence, he said, "I am the Twentieth Patriarch of the Witch race."


    "What?" Jie Long cried out in shock: "You are Clan Leader Zha Fei?"


    She still had another identity, and that was Zha Zhu''s great-grandfather. However, that year, Patriarch Zha Fei had disappeared overnight, and no one knew where he had gone to, or whether he lived or died. After that, she had recreated the position of the patriarch of the Jie clan, but who would have thought that Zha Fei was actually long dead, with her soul in this Temple of Magi?


    Di Chen was also surprised, he thought that since it was the Patriarch''s technique, then it must be extremely strong, but he actually died here?


    Zha Fei remained silent for a long time before saying, "That''s right, I am Zha Fei. Who are you two?


    Jie Qian introduced: "I am Jie Wei, also the daughter of Jie Sang, he is big brother Di Chen."


    "Orange Sang?" Zha Fei laughed. He naturally recognized Jie Sang and said, "So it''s his daughter. She should have probably already inherited the position of Clan Master."


    Back then, when Zha Fei was still around, she had designated Jie Sang as the next Clan Master.


    Jie Wei''s expression darkened as he lowered his head and said: "My father is already dead. He was killed by Yan Huai..."


    She recounted what happened in Witch race during this period of time.


    Zha Fei was helpless and angry after hearing that, she sighed: "Yan Huai is extremely ambitious, when I chose your father to inherit the position of clan leader, I already knew that he was unconvinced, but even though he has ill intentions, in my opinion, he would not do anything too excessive, I never thought that after I died, he would lose control, actually killing your father, and snatching the position of clan leader, it is a pity that I am unable to help you, you have suffered greatly over these years."


    On the contrary, it was more suitable for the ambitious Yan Huai. To be honest, Zha Fei also regretted letting Orange Sang become the Clan Chief. If he was allowed to become an Elder, the effect would be better.


    However, Yan Huai was only the Acting Patriarch in the end, and he did not enter the family tree. Thus, he could only hope that Yan Hui could truly inherit the position of the Patriarch.


    "Oh right," Zha Fei asked again. "How did you come in? Don''t you know how dangerous this is?"


    Jie Dai once again told the matter of choosing the successor to the clan leader.


    Zha Fei laughed bitterly when she heard: "This Ting Fei is too reckless. She clearly knows how dangerous it is to actually let you guys in, but what she said is right, whoever can walk out from here will have the qualifications to continue being the Clan Leader."

 C278

    In fact, if a clan leader wished to inherit the position of clan leader, they would have to enter the Temple of Magi to obtain the recognition of the Sorcerer. Although the Temple of Magi was cursed, this had not changed.


    Zha Fei looked at Di Chen again, and said with a face full of curiosity: "You shouldn''t be someone from the Witch race, right?


    Di Chen immediately explained what Elder Ting had said.


    However, what Elder Ting said was very reasonable, the current Temple of Magi was no longer that Temple of Magi he used to be back then. It could not be considered as the sacred ground of the Witch race, and furthermore, Di Chen entering the Temple of Magi was actually very dangerous. Who knew if Di Chen would actually die here?


    Di Chen was curious: "Senior, why are you in this statue?"


    Zha Fei did not directly answer the question, but asked a question instead: "Do you know why Temple of Magi was suddenly cursed?"


    This was also what Di Chen and Jie Qian were suspicious about. The two of them shook their heads.


    Zha Fei explained: "The Witch race''s clansmen will enter the Temple of Magi every year to pray and receive the protection of the Sorcerer, but the people of the Witch race may not know, every time they worship, they will not receive the protection of the Sorcerer. Their sacrifices will only strengthen the Temple of Magi''s Curse energy, and the power of the Curse will accumulate, bit by bit.


    Hearing Zha Fei''s explanation, Di Chen finally understood that this Temple of Magi was not created by anyone, it was actually not to be the Sorcerer, but an evil power. This evil power condensed through the Witch race''s sacrifice, reaching its peak a hundred years ago, and then erupted completely.


    After the evil force exploded, there was no need for the Witch race to offer sacrifices to it, those who came in would be killed by it, their souls would be merged with the power, and their souls would not be able to reincarnate as well. It was just that Zha Fei was the Clan Leader after all, and had a strong sorcery, so she was lucky enough to not have her soul destroyed like the other people who did not have their own consciousness.


    Of course, Zha Fei was also sealed by an invisible force inside the Sorcerer Statue, and it was fortunate that Di Chen was able to come out, if it was any other person, Zha Fei would probably be trapped inside the statue for the rest of her life. After all, the Witch race respected the Sorcerer, and would not easily destroy the statue.


    "So that''s how it is ¡­" Di Chen gasped, thinking that it was no wonder that the Temple of Magi was so evil, it was because the Witch race was worshipping an evil power.


    Di Chen frowned: "If it isn''t the Sorcerer, then what power is it that they worship? Is it still in the Temple of Magi? "


    Zha Fei said seriously: "I don''t know what kind of power it is either, but I can tell you that this power is still in the Temple of Magi, so those of you who come in are very dangerous."


    He sighed and said, "I''m afraid you won''t be able to get out."


    It had to be known that even the Patriarch Zha Fei had died here, so how could Di Chen possibly leave?


    Hearing that, Di Chen''s face changed, he secretly thought that the Temple of Magi was actually this terrifying, the things hidden inside were not something he could handle, maybe only an ancient elite like Yu Xuanji could take care of them.


    "Clan Leader Zha Fei, your soul ¡­" Jie Wei stared at Zha Fei and cried out in shock. At this time, Zha Fei''s soul became fainter and fainter, her body also started to distort, as if she was showing signs of turning into a ghost shadow.


    Zha Fei looked at her own soul and laughed bitterly: "I''ve persisted for so many years, it seems that I''ve already reached my limit, I''ll send you all out first."


    With that, the door to the secret room opened. Zha Fei continued: "Di Chen, I know that you can kill souls, you can kill me while I''m still conscious. I don''t want to become like those ghost shadow s."


    Di Chen was startled. "How can that be?"


    Zha Fei was still conscious after all, and really couldn''t destroy his soul.


    Zha Fei smiled and said: "Di Chen, I am different from the other clan members. If I become a ghost shadow without consciousness, all of you who enter the Temple of Magi will die, and I will also be absorbed by the evil energy.


    Di Chen and Jie Qian looked at each other. He knew what Zha Fei said was reasonable, but Zha Fei was after all, an elder of the Witch race. Di Chen still wanted to seek Jie Wei''s opinion.


    "Senior, I''m sorry," Di Chen took out a piece of paper with ''explode'' written on it and threw it. The power of the scholar surged inside, and with a rumbling sound, Zha Fei''s soul was immediately destroyed, and he could no longer smell him.


    Di Chen let out a long sigh. He bowed towards the empty secret room, then pulled Jie Qian and left.


    It was likely because the explosion just now had attracted the attention of other ghost shadow. Very quickly, he saw a large number of ghost shadow floating over.


    "This Temple of Magi is more terrifying than we thought. We have to leave this place and inform the two elders about this matter and let them destroy this Temple of Magi."


    Di Chen wondered when the power that killed Zha Fei would appear. He was afraid that it would be difficult to kill him with that power.


    "Heh ¡­" Just then, a weird laughter came out from all directions, it made Di Chen''s fur turn numb.


    Di Chen hurriedly pulled Jie Wei behind him, and said warily: "Who is it, come out if you have the ability."


    "Since you''ve come in, do you still want to go out?" At this time, a tide of black gas s suddenly surged over. The black gas stopped in front of Di Chen and then converged into a light human figure. This person looked like a youth, wearing a black robe, and had a playful look in his eyes.


    Di Chen could tell that it was not a human, but an invisible force condensed out of the air, could it be that this was the evil power that Zha Fei mentioned?


    "What the hell are you?" Di Chen stared intently at the youth, unable to determine where he came from.


    The young man laughed: "My name is Hun Wu, you can also call me the Sorcerer."


    Jie Wei retorted. "Nonsense, how could you be the Sorcerer? You are just an evil power born from this Temple of Magi."


    Hun Wu laughed: "You can say whatever you want, but since you see me, it means that you are unable to leave this place alive. You can just obediently become my strength."


    While he was speaking, a wave of Di Chen, and black gas gushed towards Di Chen and Jie Long like a tide.


    Di Chen immediately took out a few pieces of paper and threw it on the ground. After a few explosions, the black gas was destroyed, but it did not dissipate like the other ghost shadow. Instead, it condensed back together again and continued to rush towards Di Chen.


    "Not good," Di Chen immediately wrote a few words to cover himself and the black gas crashed into the barrier like floodwater. The black gas submerged Di Chen and let out a "puchi" sound, but luckily the barrier did not shatter, but it could still be seen that it would not last for long.


    This Xuan Hun Wu floated in front of Di Chen, and smiled: "You are different from the others who entered. It seems like you are not Witch race, and your cultivation technique is powerful, but I want to see how long you can last."


    Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word "explode" and threw it towards Hun Wu. Boom! "


    "It''s useless," Hun Wu laughed: "This cultivation technique of yours still can''t hurt me."


    After saying that, he pointed at Di Chen with one hand. The black gas continued to strike Di Chen''s barrier, and a crack appeared on the barrier with a creak. It seemed as though the barrier would collapse at any moment.


    Di Chen did not dare to fight Hun Wu head on, and pulled Jie Wei and ran away. He secretly complained, he did not expect that even his own formula was unable to harm.


    Hun Wu stepped on his black gas and followed closely behind Di Chen: "You won''t be able to escape, be obedient and accept your death."


    However, at this moment, green flames the size of a fingernail suddenly flew over.


    "It''s a Green Fire Worm," Jie Long immediately recognized it. This Green Fire Worm was a fire-attributed demonic insect, and its entire body was burning with flames.


    One by one, the green flame bugs fell to the ground. The flames were extinguished and they died completely, but those black gas were also burnt to pieces, and were no longer as berserk as before.


    Hun Wu immediately retreated, it was obvious that he was wary of these flames. It was just that the green fire bugs were not too powerful, and did not harm him greatly.


    "Jie Dai, this way," At this moment, a woman''s voice suddenly came from the front. She waved at Jie Dai, hinting for him to hurry over.


    "It''s Big Sis Yi Shi," Jie Long immediately became happy when he saw her and immediately ran over.


    Di Chen had also seen this Yi Shi before. Their relationship was pretty good, she and Yan Hui both wanted to inherit the position of Clan Master, but she wouldn''t be able to harm Jie Qian like Yan Hui.


    "Follow me," Yi Shi said as she brought Di Chen and Jie Long to a certain direction and quickly arrived in front of a secret room. Yi Shi opened the door and said: "Go in."


    Jie Long thought about the secret room before and asked worriedly, "Sister Yi Shi, is it safe inside?"


    Yi Shi said: "At least it''s safer than outside. Don''t say anymore, quickly go in."


    The three of them entered the secret room, and Yi Shi immediately closed the door. Right at this moment, those black gas s bumped into the door, and with a loud bang, they actually didn''t manage to break it open.


    "Hmm?" Hun Wu floated to the side of the door, and turned into a gust of Qi, fusing into the door, but was repelled by a burst of energy, "Is there a pattern on it?"


    Hun Wu pointed at the stone door again, and the black gas turned into numerous arrows that shot into the stone door. The sharp arrows dispersed but the stone door did not cause any damage at all.


    "This formation is truly powerful. I shall see how long you all can hide in there. I will definitely devour you all."


    Hun Wu was unable to enter, but he did not give up, and waited outside the door.

 C279

    Yi Shi just stared at the door, it shook violently from the impact, but stopped after a moment. When she saw Hun Wu enter, she heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Luckily this array formation was able to stop this fellow ¡­."


    With that, she said with a solemn expression, "But it seems like this array won''t be able to hold on for long. Moreover, it''s impossible for us to hide here forever."


    There were a lot of people who entered the Temple of Magi back then, and quite a few who knew of Yi Shi''s array, but those clan members were still dead, which meant that this array was unable to block them.


    Yi Shi asked curiously: "Jie Wei, who was that person and why did he chase after you?"


    Jie Qian immediately told him the reason why he met the Zha Fei Patriarch just now, including the reason behind the Temple of Magi''s curse. That Hun Wu had only concealed the fact that he had obtained the Sorcerer''s Curse from her.


    Yi Shi was astonished when she heard it: "I never thought that Clan Leader Zha Fei would die here, and you guys even encountered Clan Chief Zha Fei''s soul, if even Clan Chief Zha Fei could not stop him, wouldn''t we die as well?"


    Jie Qian smiled bitterly, there was nothing she could do.


    "Oh, right," Yi Shi asked again. "Jie Long, have you met anyone else?"


    "I met Suze before, but he''s dead, too."


    Yi Shi sighed: This time there''s a total of ten people who entered, three of them died the moment we entered, and now that Sui Sui Zi is dead, there''s probably still six of us left, and we three here, and also Yan Hui and the other two, I don''t know how they are doing, but that guy is too powerful, if we want to live, we can only ally with them.


    Although Yi Shi did not like Yan Hui, she did not have much enmity towards him, and Yan Hui''s greatest enemy was Jie Wei, so she did not have any ill intentions towards Yi Shi.


    Yi Shi also knew that Yan Hui would do something bad to Jie Wei, so she could only sigh helplessly and dispel this decision.


    "Hun Wu is still guarding outside, your array will not be able to hold on for long, even if we want to join hands with them, we can''t. It would be better to think of a way to leave this place first."


    The best choice for him to join hands with Yan Hui, at least in the Temple of Magi. However, it was unknown whether or not was still alive right now.


    Yi Shi asked doubtfully: "The cultivation techniques of you outsiders are all very strange, could it be that you have no way to deal with Hun Wu?"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said: "I saw that your green fire bugs are harmful to him. It seems that they are afraid of fire, I actually have a fire attribute cultivation technique with me, I want to take this opportunity to learn it, perhaps I will have the chance to leave."


    In fact, there were several fire attribute cultivation techniques in the Heaven formula, and the simplest technique was the fire attribute. This cultivation technique''s power was not considered strong, and cultivating it wasn''t difficult either, but in fact, Di Chen could already cultivate it after breaking through the Martial King, he just did not have the time to practice it. In addition, there were also flame attribute cultivation techniques, flawless formula, and a series of fire attribute cultivation techniques.


    Yi Shi laughed bitterly when she heard Di Chen''s words: "I heard that your technique requires a lot of pills and time, do you have enough time to learn it now?"


    Not to mention cultivation technique, even the Witch race''s spells were exhausted. Yi Shi could not believe that Di Chen, who was just fumbling around, would be able to learn it, let alone learn it, even if he could, it would definitely be a very weak fire cultivation technique. How could such a technique deal with Hun Wu?


    Di Chen no longer had any confidence, and sighed: "Even if it''s a life and death struggle, you don''t have to say anymore, you guys hurry up and recover, and try to increase your strength as much as possible."


    He then took out some pills. Although the Witch race did not have any spirit energy, these pills could at least help them recover.


    Then, Di Chen took out the Sky Text Sutra and retreated to the side, he carefully took out a pen and paper and started writing the word fire.


    Di Chen then raised his pen and wrote the first stroke of the fire character. It was not difficult, but after writing the second stroke, Di Chen immediately felt a burning sensation in his body, and then, the paper slip started to burn.


    "It seems that the control over the power of scholars by the fire formula is rather high. It''s not that easy to cultivate it."


    Previously, when Di Chen was training with the formula, he would often find it difficult to write one line. However, this fire formula could easily write one line, but it was not easy to control the power of a scholar.


    Di Chen was not discouraged, he took out another piece of paper and continued writing, this time he controlled the power of the scholars even more carefully, but the result was the same, when he reached the second stroke, the paper became weaker, and he continued writing for two hours, but he was unable to finish the second stroke.


    Yi Shi and Jie Qian watched Di Chen cultivate for a while. Jie Long was still alright, but Yi Shi had also trained in formula before so Yi Shi was at a loss. She did not know what Di Chen was doing, but he felt that she could tell that Di Chen seemed to always fail, and couldn''t help but be worried.


    "Jie Long, can he be relied on?" Yi Shi whispered in doubt.


    Jie Qian laughed and said: "Don''t worry, Di Chen will definitely be fine. We just need to prevent that Hun Wu from coming in during this period of time."


    Yi Shi looked at Jie Wei with a strange expression, not understanding why she was so confident in this guy.


    She walked to the door and thought that this formation would not last long. She drew another formation on the ground. This formation was very strange, and it took her two hours to finish it.


    "This is the fire array," Jie Wei said in shock. "Big Sister Yi Shi, I didn''t think that you would even know this."


    Yi Shi wiped the sweat off her forehead and said: "Actually, I had already drawn this array a long time ago, it''s just that this array is too difficult, every time I failed, I did not expect to be lucky enough to succeed, probably because it''s too dangerous this time, I just anxiously succeeded."


    This formation was known as a spell formation in the Witch race, and spell formations were usually evil in nature. There were very few formations like the Ever-Flame Formation, and they were not suitable for the Witch race to cultivate.


    "But just this fire array isn''t enough," Yi Shi said as she took out a small red bottle, opened the bottle cap and a green flame bug flew out. The green flame bug stopped at the door, and waited for Hun Wu to come in to deal some damage.


    Yi Shi said: "This is already my limit, if I still can''t stop that Hun Wu, I won''t be able to."


    was still cultivating, she did not know what stage Di Chen had reached, and could only silently pray that Di Chen would finish his training quickly.


    Di Chen''s control over the powers of a scholar was still unstable. After a few hours, Di Chen was finally able to write the third brush, but the fourth pen was the hardest, so Di Chen was unable to write it.


    Crash! *


    After an unknown period of time, the door to the secret room suddenly turned into ashes and fell down.


    "Not good, he broke through the formation," Jie Long''s expression changed. He saw Hun Wu standing outside, with layers of black gas surrounding his body.


    Yi Shi said a little fearfully: "Don''t worry, there''s still the fire array formation and the green fire bugs. I think they should be able to hold out for a while."


    Although he said that, but from the way he said it, it was obvious that Yi Shi was not confident either.


    Hun Wu looked at the two of them with amusement as he laughed, "You two aren''t the most difficult ones to deal with because I''m facing them. Do you really think that relying on this kind of broken array will be enough to stop me?"


    "If you want to kill us, it won''t be that easy," Yi Shi pointed at the green fire bugs and they immediately flew towards him.


    Hun Wu did not dare to fight them head on, and immediately retreated, hiding within the black mist. At the same time, the black mist engulfed the green flame bugs, and their flames became smaller and smaller, until they landed on the ground one by one.


    The flames were very strong against Hun Wu''s resistance, but the green fire bugs were not very strong poisonous insects after all. Furthermore, their numbers were small, so the damage they did to Hun Wu was not too great.


    "That''s it?" Hun Wu smiled: "If it''s just a few bugs, they wouldn''t be able to stop me."


    As he spoke, he floated back into the secret room. However, at this moment, a flame suddenly lit up in front of him.


    "Not good ¡­" Hun Wu immediately retreated, and almost got burnt by the flames. He looked at the flames and frowned: "This is not a formation of your Witch race, but do you think this formation can stop me?"


    After saying that, he pointed at the flames again. All of the black gas around him rushed towards the flames, causing the black gas to dissipate due to the flames, but the black gas continued to rush towards the flames in an unending stream. As the black gas continued to pour in, the flames became smaller and smaller, and could be extinguished at any time.


    Yi Shi''s face was filled with fear, but she really had no other choice now. He could only watch Hun Wu extinguish the flames with her eyes.


    Hun Wu looked at Yi Shi with amusement: "What, could this be your last hope?"


    Yi Shi clenched her teeth and remained silent. She turned back and glanced at Di Chen, but it seemed that Di Chen had not learned anything yet.


    Hun Wu noticed Yi Shi''s gaze and looked towards him. Di Chen emitted a scorching aura and his eyebrows rose: "So it turns out that you are counting on him."


    He suddenly realized the danger, and immediately controlled the black gas to rush towards the Ever-Flame Formation, extinguishing it even faster.


    "Big Brother Di Chen, you have to hurry up," Jie Long prayed in his heart.


    The flames of the fire array became smaller and smaller. Finally, with a pu sound, it extinguished and the black gas broke through the black gas and rushed in.


    Hun Wu smiled: "Right now, you have no other choice."


    Jie Wei and Yi Shi retreated a few steps, in terms of fighting strength, Witch race was not considered strong, so she had no power to fight back against Hun Wu and Yue Yang.


    Hun Wu tapped Yi Shi and Jie Long, and a wave of black gas surged towards the two of them like a tide.


    However, at this moment, a bright red flame swept over from the side. The flame merged with the black gas and burned them until they dissipated. This flame was actually even stronger than the fire formation earlier.


    Seeing the flame, Yi Shi and Jie Qian''s face were finally filled with surprise, they turned to look at Di Chen, who was smiling at the two, his fire formula had finally finished cultivating.

 C280

    Hun Wu also did not continue to attack Jie Wei and Yi Shi. He was very clear that he would not be able to kill them without killing Di Chen.


    "It seems that I was still a step too late." Hun Wu stared at Di Chen and sneered: "But do you really think that learning the fire cultivation technique is enough to deal with me?"


    Di Chen laughed out loud: Actually, the fire cultivation technique that I am training in is not very strong, but I just noticed that the flames seem to be able to restrain you, even a green flame insect is able to burn you, seems like you are very sensitive to fire, my fire cultivation technique is enough to kill you, I think you understand.


    When Hun Wu heard this, he became silent. In fact, he had already realized the danger of fire cultivation technique just now, but he did not say anything.


    Di Chen took a step forward and blocked in front of Jie Wei and Yi Shi, then wrote a few fire words consecutively as he floated over.


    Flames turned into a long river and charged towards the black gas. When the two clashed, they made sounds of "pu pu" and consumed each other''s energy. It was obvious that the two of them were fighting head on.


    Di Chen''s power was being consumed at a rapid rate, while Hun Wu''s power seemed to be decreasing.


    Hun Wu scoffed, "Your energy consumption is very fast, let''s see how long you can persevere for."


    Di Chen taunted: "You are very powerful, but you have been restrained by the flames to such an extent that anyone who knows the Flame Sea Technique can easily kill you."


    It was true that the Witch race was an expert in witchcraft, and did not have many fire-related witchcraft, but there were many cultivation techniques for warriors, so Hun Wu could easily kill one of the Witch race, but there was nothing he could do about it.


    But in reality, Di Chen had only trained fire formula in a hurry, and its power was not strong enough, so Di Chen did not have the confidence to deal with it.


    "Dammit ¡­" Hun Wu noticed that he had exhausted his energy quickly, and made a hand seal: "Demon Soul Palm."


    The black gas turned into a giant black palm that floated towards Di Chen.


    "He knows a cultivation technique?" did not expect that the black figure would actually use a cultivation technique as well. He immediately wrote a fire character and floated towards the palm print.


    Pfft!


    When he met the palm imprint, he could not even withstand a single blow. The following palm imprint slapped onto Di Chen''s body, directly sending him flying out and heavily smashing onto the wall.


    "Big Brother Di Chen," Jie Qian''s expression changed, and wanted to help Di Chen.


    Di Chen stared closely at Hun Wu. The power of the palm strike just now was even greater than what Di Chen had imagined, so it seemed that this guy not only relied on his own evil power, he had also definitely cultivated it before, and from the looks of this palm print, it was at least equivalent to a powerhouse at the fourth level of Martial King.


    Hun Wu did not take advantage of his victory to chase after him, he smiled and said to Di Chen: "Now do you know the difference between you and me, relying on a single cultivation technique is not enough to stop me."


    Di Chen supported himself up on the ground and laughed: "I thought you were an evil force, but it seems like you are not, you are also a warrior, if I thought correctly, you probably cultivated some kind of evil technique that turned you into this, maybe you are no different from those ghost shadow, you are just a spirit with cultivation, that''s why you are so afraid of fire."


    Hun Wu''s face sank when he heard this, it seemed like Di Chen had hit the mark, but he did not care, and quickly revealed a smile: "You are indeed a smart person, but so what? Even if you know, you still cannot deal with me, you will still die."


    With that, he slapped his hand again. The black gas turned into a palm and floated towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen''s burning hot power gushed out, his fist was red as if it had been burned by blood, followed by steam. After that, he punched towards the palm print, the palm print was scattered by the scorching power, and turned into a gust of Qi that dissipated.


    "Impossible," Hun Wu said with a face of shock. This fellow could actually destroy his cultivation technique with a single punch.


    Jie Qian and Yi Shi were pleasantly surprised, thinking that Di Chen would definitely have a chance to defeat this person.


    Earlier, when he swallowed the spirit beast guardian beast of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate''s beast, his energy was burning hot. It was just that Jiu Chen did not believe that her power could destroy his technique just now.


    "Damn it ¡­" Hun Wu once again struck out with a few palms towards Di Chen.


    This time, Di Chen was no longer afraid. He punched out with all his might, each of his punches carried a wave of heat. Hun Wu''s palm prints could be easily destroyed by Di Chen, but this would consume a lot of energy.


    "You''re only so-so," Di Chen broke through layers of black mist and suddenly appeared in front of Hun Wu, and then slapped his chest.


    Hun Wu''s body was being pressured by the scorching energy, and with a whoosh, he dissipated. However, in the next moment, the Qi gathered together again to form Hun Wu''s appearance, only that this time, he was obviously rather weak.


    "You actually injured me so heavily, go and die, Thousand Souls Calamity," Hun Wu was completely enraged, his body trembled, and suddenly turned into a ten meter long black wave, smashing towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen thought that the situation was bad. He immediately sent his handwritten word of fire to welcome him, but the flames were like mud entering the sea, causing relatively less damage to Hun Wu.


    The mist then struck Di Chen''s body and directly flipped him over. When the Spirit Qi entered Di Chen''s body, he could probably see the Spirit Qi flowing through Di Chen''s blood vessels, causing his body to become twisted.


    At this time, the black mist turned back into Hun Wu''s appearance, only this time, he was visibly a little weak. He coldly looked at Di Chen and said: "So many people from the Witch race have died in my hands, why did you kill me? Let''s see what kind of method you have to resist me now.


    He roared and threw himself at Di Chen again.


    She wanted to save Di Chen, but that enormous power stopped him. It was impossible for him to approach Di Chen at all.


    Di Chen stared intently at the mist, he suddenly pressed on the center of his forehead, which suddenly lit up with light, which looked like needles piercing through the black mist.


    "Ah ¡­" Hun Wu screamed harshly, and the black mist retreated immediately, as if it was going to collapse at any moment. "martial spirit of light, how could you possibly know this martial spirit of light?"


    This martial spirit of light was much more harmful to Hun Wu than flames, but Di Chen''s martial spirit of light could not sustain it for long. After a while, he stopped, and the black mist once again turned into a human again, but this time, Hun Wu''s body was riddled with holes, like a sieve.


    Di Chen looked haggard, and laughed coldly at Hun Wu: "So it turns out that you are really afraid of martial spirit of light. If I thought about it properly, things like Lightning and Golden Buddha, these things that are able to suppress the Evil Qi will restrain you. In the end, you are just a special warrior."


    "Damn it ¡­" Hun Wu didn''t dare to continue attacking, and coldly said: "Remember this, I won''t let you go."


    After saying that, Hun Wu turned into a wave of black gas and disappeared.


    Di Chen did not chase after them either, but collapsed on the ground instead. His face was pale and his expression withered, as if he would faint any moment now.


    Jie Qian immediately helped Di Chen up and asked worriedly, "Big Brother Di Chen, are you alright?"


    Di Chen said weakly: "I''m fine. Although that Hun Wu was severely injured by me, he will definitely return. Jie Qian, take out my medicinal pellet."


    Now that Di Chen did not even have the strength to take out the pellets, Jie Long immediately took out the pellets from Di Chen''s bosom and fed them to Di Chen. Only after consuming a pellet of Demonic Mother Pellet did Di Chen regain some of his strength, it was only because the strength of a scholar had been lost, and he had lost all his strength.


    Jie Long originally wanted to help Di Chen hide somewhere else, but after thinking about it for a bit, he realized that everything in Temple of Magi was the same. If Hun Wu could easily find him, there was no need to leave since there would be no ghost shadow here temporarily.


    "Di Chen, I never thought that you would actually know martial spirit of light. You are the one with the best talent I''ve ever seen."


    Yi Shi was shocked. Although she was not a warrior, she knew how powerful the martial spirit of light was.


    Di Chen panted, "I had previously guessed that the martial spirit of light would be able to restrain him, but I didn''t expect it to be so injurious. Although this guy is evil, his weaknesses are also very obvious."


    Previously, Di Chen had always been guessing Hun Wu''s identity, but now that he knew, Hun Wu had used the Thousand Souls Calamity. Di Chen had heard of this technique, the most powerful technique of the ancient top ten sects, the Thousand Witch Sect, was the Thousand Souls Calamity, which meant that Hun Wu was actually a member of one of the ancient top ten sects, the Thousand Witch Sect.


    The Sorcerer that the Witch race worships is the Thousand Witch Sect''s Sect Leader?


    Di Chen raised his eyebrows, he had come to the Eastern Desolation to search for the Snow Sect''s order badge this time, but he did not expect to hear information from the Thousand Witch Sect, so Di Chen thought that if there was a chance, he must snatch the Thousand Witch Sect''s order plate away, even though it was very difficult.


    "This Hun Wu will definitely come back. We need to recover our strength as soon as possible."


    Di Chen thought that he had caused Hun Wu quite a bit of damage just now, and he wouldn''t be able to recover in a short period of time.


    "Hmm?" Suddenly, Jie Qian saw a small black bottle in the distance. She immediately walked over and picked it up. "What is this?"


    Yi Shi opened the bottle and took a look, there was a black pill inside, the pill emitted an enticing fragrance, but she did not recognize the pill, so she passed it to Di Chen, "You warriors should be very familiar with the pills, what pill is this?"


    Di Chen took the pill and looked at it, then said in shock: "This is the Wu Blood Pill, this kind of pill is something you should not know, it is an Ancient Devil Pellet, it can strengthen a person''s physical quality, the method to refine this kind of pellet has long been lost, I did not think that there would be such a pellet, I think Hun Wu must have left it here."


    In fact, the Voodoo Blood Pill was a special pill that only the Thousand Witch Sect had. Even the Shuiyue Workshop did not sell it today.


    Jie Long immediately said: "Then hurry up and eat it, after you increase your cultivation, we can go and kill Hun Wu."


    However, she knew that giving this pill to Di Chen now was the best choice, so she agreed: "That''s right, I don''t know when that Hun Wu will recover, so hurry up and swallow this pill."

 C281

    Di Chen did not stand on ceremony and immediately swallowed the pellet into his stomach. Then, he turned the Pearl of Life and the pellet immediately turned into a stream of cool and refreshing spiritual liquid that entered Di Chen''s body.


    Di Chen seemed to have felt a surge of power drilling into every inch of his flesh and bones. But the moment this power entered his body, Di Chen also felt a heart-wrenching pain from his flesh and blood, his muscles seemed to have been torn apart.


    Di Chen''s face was covered in sweat, it was so painful that his face was twisted.


    Yi Shi looked at the pill with a pale face, she thought to herself, luckily she did not consume the Voodoo Blood Pill, otherwise, her body would probably have been smashed by the pill before she could even refine the pill.


    This pain lasted for an entire hour, after which Di Chen''s body finally started to recover slowly, and the power of the Voodoo Blood Pill was completely absorbed into Di Chen''s body.


    Jie Qian probed: "Di Chen, how is it?"


    Di Chen gasped for breath: "This pill''s efficacy is too strong, although it has helped me increase my strength by quite a bit, it has still caused me quite a bit of damage, I still need to continue recovering from my injuries."


    If one could take a look inside himself, one would realize that Di Chen''s body was already riddled with thousands of holes. He immediately took out the Demonic Mother Pill to heal his injuries, and more than ten minutes later, Di Chen''s injuries had also finally recovered.


    "I''m finally alright," Di Chen moved his body and laughed: "Although my cultivation did not increase, my strength increased by a lot, and if it was the same realm, my strength would also have been stronger."


    Previously, Di Chen''s power of the first stage of the realm had already reached its limit, but now, he could feel that he could still continue to raise his strength by absorbing Demonic beast flesh and blood.


    Di Chen still had to continue cultivating, and following that, Di Chen spent a few more hours recovering the powers of a scholar, so that Di Chen could be considered to have fully recovered from his injuries.


    Yi Shi asked in a daze: "Di Chen, you have finally recovered, are you confident you can kill Hun Wu now?"


    Di Chen thought for a while and said, "If Hun Wu''s injuries are not healed, then I will at most be severely injured. If he hasn''t recovered, I should be able to kill him.


    If Hun Wu had recovered, he would definitely come to kill him, but he did not, which meant that Hun Wu''s injuries had not recovered either. He might even be hiding somewhere to recuperate, and this was the best time to kill him.


    Yi Shi objected: "But isn''t that too dangerous? Di Chen, I think we should leave the Temple of Magi and let the elders come in so we can have the chance to kill that Hun Wu."


    Di Chen shook his head: "You Witch race people are not suited to deal with that person. There isn''t much use in calling the elders in, furthermore, do you really think Hun Wu will let us leave here safely?"


    Hun Wu had already found out about his secret room, so how could he allow Di Chen to leave?


    Furthermore, even Zha Fei had died in Hun Wu''s hands, so the only thing the entire Witch race could do was to rely on Di Chen.


    "Alright then," Yi Shi compromised in the end.


    Di Chen asked: "Do you have any way to find him?"


    Yi Shi thought for a while and said: "This Hun Wu is extremely evil, I have my ways."


    Then, she took out a palm-sized compass from her bosom. The compass was black with a red pointer on it.


    "This is the Evil Guiding Compass, it can find the most evil things."


    Yi Shi took the compass and walked around, the compass quickly pointed in a direction, and Yi Shi immediately extended out the direction of the needle.


    Di Chen and Jie Qian followed closely behind, and as the few of them got closer and closer to the compass, the needle started to move more and more, which meant that the crowd was getting closer to Hun Wu.


    However, at this moment, the sound of footsteps came from ahead. It seemed like someone was running away, and the footsteps were very hurried.


    Di Chen vigilantly looked ahead. It was at this time that three figures suddenly appeared in front of him. They were actually Yan Hui, Soya and Wen Donna.


    "It''s all of you," Yan Hui said with a frown. "Are all of you still alive?"


    The few of them had already spent two days in Temple of Magi. Yan Hui could not believe that Di Chen and Jie Wei were still alive even with their abilities.


    Soya laughed, "That''s great. Yan Hui, didn''t you say that they killed You Mo? Since they didn''t die, I can take revenge myself."


    You Mo and Soo Ya''s relationship was not bad. Soo Ya had already wanted to take revenge before, but he didn''t have the chance, so as he spoke, he almost wanted to attack.


    Wendona stopped Soya and said, "This Temple of Magi is too dangerous, don''t waste your energy."


    Soya disapprovingly said, "Killing them is easy, so how would I waste my time and energy?"


    He did not care about how dangerous Temple of Magi was, and immediately used his fingers as swords, two fingers placed between his lips as he chanted the chant.


    Di Chen immediately felt the world spinning around him, his head felt as though it was about to explode. He immediately activated the power of a scholar, but his power was useless.


    The Witch race''s spell was different from a warrior''s techniques. The spell was formless, and could only be blocked by a witch. Even if Di Chen used his formula, he still wouldn''t be able to block it.


    "Soya, what are you doing? Stop again, or don''t blame me for being impolite."


    Sawyer sneered. He had no intention of stopping at all.


    In a fit of anger, Jie Long immediately formed a seal and started chanting a spell in silence.


    At this moment, a sudden itch came from Soya''s body. His skin was full of pustules, and the pus flowed with a foul smelling venom. It made people feel nauseous.


    This was the Witchcraft that Jie Wei had previously obtained from the Sorcerer Statue. She was currently using the simplest spell, a spell that could cause illness, but even this simplest spell made Yan Hui and Wen Donna frightened.


    Di Chen and Yi Shi were also secretly shocked, no one could possibly be able to block Jie Wei''s attack.


    Soar screamed miserably. How could he endure such pain? With a pleading tone, he shouted, "What kind of spell is this? Donna, quickly save me!"


    Seeing Soo Ya''s appearance, Wanda also had a face full of shock. She anxiously said, "Jie Long, stop it. Do you want to kill your own clansmen?"


    Jie Wei didn''t stop chanting. After a while, Soya falls limply to the ground. His entire body is festering and reeked of stench. However, he isn''t dead yet. He is still breathing. However, living like this is still better than dying.


    "Help me," Soar begged in pain.


    Wen Donna immediately brought out some herbs for him to consume, but there was no effect at all. Even Yan Hui was helpless about it.


    Yan Hui snapped, "Soya is a member of our Witch race after all, how could you use such a malicious witchcraft to kill him?"


    Jie Long snorted, "If he wants to kill Big Brother Di Chen, I will kill him."


    To Jie Wei, the most important person was Di Chen. Whoever wanted to kill Di Chen would be the one to kill him.


    "You ¡­" Yan Hui was so angry that he wanted to attack, but at the same time, Wen Duo Na stopped Yan Hui, making his anxious. She would kill Yan Hui, too, so Yan Hui admitted that he was unable to resist his technique and could only endure.


    "Save me," Sonya''s voice rang out again, and he looked as if he wished he were dead.


    She could not save Soar. It would be better to kill him than to make him live in such pain. She immediately took out a knife, apologized, and stabbed him in the heart.


    "Jie Duo," Wendona said coldly, "You actually used such a vicious curse on an outsider. The elder will definitely not let you go, just you wait."


    Speaking of killing his own clan members, wasn''t that what Yan Huai had done?


    Jie Wei didn''t even bother to pay attention to her, as his gaze fell on Yan Hui. He wanted to kill him as well, so when Yan Hui saw the look in his eyes, he immediately retreated.


    "Forget it," Di Chen said as he pulled Jie Qian over and said, "Let''s find Hun Wu first."


    In truth, Di Chen did not want to use it again. Furthermore, Di Chen did not have the time to waste, so the two of them wanted to leave.


    Yi Shi and Wendona''s relationship was not bad, and she did not have the heart to think that Wendona would be in danger. She immediately said, "Donna, you should come with us. It''s safer."


    Wen Donna said calmly: "It''s good that Yan Hui and I are together, it''s good that we are together so long as you implicate us."


    Yi Shi shook her head slightly. She thought to herself that it seemed that Wen Donna hated her because she saw him together with Jie Long. She didn''t try to persuade him anymore and turned around to leave.


    However, just then, a large number of ghost shadow s surged from all around and blocked their path.


    "It must be because Hun Wu knows that we''re looking for him that he used these ghost shadow to stop us."


    Di Chen thought, looks like Hun Wu''s injuries have not recovered at all, this was a good opportunity.


    At this time, Wendona immediately took out a few talismans, and a flame ignited from the talisman. She threw the talisman at the ghost shadow, and the ghost shadow were instantly burnt and scattered.


    At the same time, Yan Hui opened a small bottle. From the bottle, a finger-nail-sized bug flew out. The bug burned with purple flames, and this was a Purple Flame Insect.


    The Purple Flame Insect directly flew into the group of ghost shadow, and they were burnt to ashes the moment they came into contact with the flames.


    "No wonder Wendona didn''t want to move with me." Yi Shi instantly understood the reason. It seemed like they had also discovered the weakness of these ghost shadow and had a way to deal with them.


    However, there were simply too many of these ghost shadow. There weren''t many talismans by her side, so most of them were quickly used up. She didn''t dare to use them carelessly either.


    Moreover, the two of them intentionally avoided Di Chen and the other two because they did not want to save Di Chen and the other two.


    "Let''s go," Di Chen didn''t even need the two to write a few words as he floated towards the ghost shadow. A wave of fire soared into the sky and swept towards the ghost shadow, and in an instant, all of the ghost shadow turned into black gas and disappeared. Then, Di Chen took Jie Long and Yi Shi and left.


    "This ¡­" Looking at this scene, Wen Donna and Yan Hui were completely shocked. It was extremely difficult for them to deal with these ghost shadow, but Di Chen was actually so relaxed?


    At this moment, the two of them suddenly felt some regret. If they were to move together with them, they would be safe together.


    However, Di Chen and the other two had already disappeared into the darkness. At this time, another large number of ghost shadow rushed towards the two, gritting their teeth as they chased after Di Chen.

 C282

    "Di Chen, are we going to ignore them?" Yi Shi was still a little worried about Wen Donna. Just before they left, she had seen a large number of ghost shadow s heading towards Wen Donna, which was way too dangerous for them.


    Di Chen did not think much about it: "You saw it when they were fighting, they purposefully disappeared to attack their ghost shadow, and also distanced themselves from us, so they do not want to save us."


    How could Yi Shi not know that she had intentionally avoided her attack because she thought that there was no one on her side who could resist those ghost shadow. That was to say that if she really met with danger, they would definitely not save her.


    Jie Qian advised: "Big Sister Yi Shi, Wen Donna''s father has always been valued highly by Yan Huai, she will definitely help Yan Hui, and Yan Hui has always wanted to kill me, don''t bother with them, let''s go."


    Yi Shi nodded her head, then picked up the Thoughtless Compass again, and continued to look in the direction of the needle. As the three of them got closer and closer to the needle, the needle started to shake more and more, and very quickly, the three of them arrived in front of a secret room.


    "It''s right here," Yi Shi said as she seriously looked at the secret room. She looked at Di Chen and asked, "Are you really confident?"


    Di Chen shook his head and said: "I am not confident, but I need to give it a try. The two of you move aside, I will take care of it later."


    Jie Qian and Yi Shi were really unable to cause any harm to Hun Wu, so the two of them nodded and retreated to the side.


    Di Chen clenched his fist tightly, and fiercely smashed at the stone door. The stone door rumbled, and a few pieces of broken stone fell down. Di Chen''s punch had only slightly cracked the stone door, but it did not destroy the stone door.


    "So hard?" Di Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Jie Long and said: "Use your purple blood worm to rot this stone door first."


    Jie Long immediately released the purple blood worm, and the purple blood worm spat out the poison on the stone door. The stone door immediately became soft, and Jie Long then kept the purple blood worm.


    "purple blood worm," Yi Shi was secretly surprised, even the elders would find it difficult to catch purple blood worm, yet they can actually find an orange stalk?


    Di Chen smashed the stone door again, and the stone door was destroyed, revealing a small secret room. In the middle of the room was a ball of black mist, and the ghost shadow s around merged into the black mist.


    "As expected, he''s here," Di Chen walked in, looked at Hun Wu and smiled: "Seems like your recovery is slow."


    This Hun Wu was only a power, unlike the physical Di Chen, who could consume pills to recover, but Hun Wu could not. He needed to absorb the power of the ghosts, and at a very slow rate.


    "It''s you," Hun Wu said as he grit his teeth. "How dare you. I just spared your life, yet you actually came here. Looking for you is simply courting death."


    Di Chen mocked, "You were just severely injured by me just now, you had no intention of letting us go. When your injuries recover, you will definitely come to kill me."


    In fact, Hun Wu had already recovered most of his strength, in another half an hour, he would most likely be fully recovered.


    "Do you think you can kill me while I''m injured? Don''t even think about it."


    Hun Wu blew on it, and his Qi turned into a black tiger that roared towards Di Chen.


    Di Chen could tell that the Black Tiger''s power wasn''t strong. A fire character immediately floated over and the fire character transformed into a flame that collided with the Black Tiger.


    "What, you only have this much strength now?" Di Chen smiled and asked: "Where is your Thousand Souls Calamity?"


    Hun Wu snorted and said, "I do not wish for just using the Thousand Soul Tribulations to kill you."


    While he was speaking, he overflowed with traces of black gas s, and they all rushed towards Di Chen. The black gas s turned into evil spirits that bared their fangs and brandished their claws, and pounced on him.


    Di Chen took a step forward to welcome the ghost shadow, punching out with his fist, each of his punches were capable of shattering a ghost shadow, but the ghost shadow were coming at him one after the other.


    "Hmm? He''s stalling for time? " Di Chen noticed that Hun Wu was taking this opportunity to desperately devour the energy around him. If he was allowed to recover, Di Chen would not have the confidence to kill him anymore.


    Di Chen immediately tapped the center of his brows and a ray of light shot out. The light penetrated Hun Wu''s body and instantly caused countless of holes to appear.


    Hun Wu screamed miserably, he did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately floated towards the outside of the secret room.


    "Trying to run?" Di Chen chased after him with a step; the scorching energy hit Hun Wu''s body, and his fist passed through Hun Wu''s body. Although Hun Wu did not have a corporeal form, the force still could cause damage to Hun Wu, and with the addition of the martial spirit of light, Hun Wu would very quickly be unable to withstand it.


    Di Chen mocked, "You still have the strength to resist?"


    Hun Wu never thought that he would lose to Di Chen. Gritting his teeth, he said: "Don''t be too pleased, you don''t even know what kind of person you have offended, you will definitely regret it."


    Di Chen smiled: "Thousand Witch Sect is one of the top ten ancient sects, the Thousand Souls Calamity technique that you used is the strongest cultivation technique in the Thousand Witch Sect, only the successor of the Thousand Witch Sect can learn it, if I guess correctly, you are the descendant of the Thousand Witch Sect."


    Thousands of years ago, this place suddenly welcomed a new clan, which was the Witch race. The Witch race did not know about the Thousand Witch Sect, and Hun Wu was the successor to the Thousand Witch Sect, but his body had long since died, leaving behind only his residual soul, which he was unable to cultivate, but the Thousand Witch Sect had many evil techniques which could let the residual souls cultivate, and the most powerful one would be the Undead.


    In the past 1000 years, Hun Wu had been using the customs of the Witch race to think of a way to swindle people to worship him, and with every worship, they would raise Hun Wu''s cultivation. Hun Wu''s power was also becoming stronger and stronger, and now that Hun Wu no longer had to hide, he started to take the initiative to kill people, using the Witch race''s soul to increase his cultivation.


    In actuality, the Sorcerer that the Witch race had chosen to pay respects to was only the last of the Thousand Witch Sect''s Sect Leader s.


    Hun Wu''s expression changed, "How do you know so much?"


    This Temple of Magi was the previous location of the Thousand Witchcraft Palace, but no one else knew about this. This was the first time he heard someone talk about it, and he actually knew about it in such detail?


    Di Chen did not hide anything, and said with a smile: "I know a bit about the top ten ancient sects, and have met Eternal Gate, Five Poison Sect, Nether Moon Sect and so on before."


    Saying that, Di Chen took out another order badge, it was the Five Poisons Sect''s Sect Leader, he said: "I previously stole the Five Poisons Sect''s Sect Leader''s order badge, if I think correctly, your Thousand Witch Sect''s order badge should be in your hands, hand it over, maybe I can let you live."


    Hun Wu''s face was full of shock as he stared at the order badge in Di Chen''s hand. Only now did he know that he met such a thorny person today, and he actually knew so much?


    But the Sect Leader badge was a symbol of the sect, how could Hun Wu hand it over?


    "Don''t even think about it," Hun Wu berated, after handing over the Sect Leader medallion, he was no longer the successor to the Thousand Witch Sect.


    Di Chen laughed: "I believe that medallion is inside this Temple of Magi. After I kill you, I can slowly search for it."


    Hun Wu looked at Di Chen in shock and said: "Although you know that I am the heir to the Thousand Witch Sect, there are many things you don''t know. The last Sect Leader was not killed, he is currently in the Temple of Magi, if you dare to kill me, he will definitely kill you."


    Di Chen''s face changed, he suddenly thought that the last Sect Leader of the ten great sects was not dead, and it was possible that the last Sect Leader was still alive, so Di Chen did not have the confidence to fight against the Thousand Witch Sect.


    Di Chen took a deep breath, remained silent for a while, then said: "If he really is still alive, regardless of whether I kill you or not, he will still kill me, what difference does that make?


    After saying that, Di Chen wrote a word of fire, a ball of flames swept towards Hun Wu, who could still resist it, the screams sounded out, and Qi continuously leaked out from his body, finally disappearing into the air.


    Di Chen was also finally relieved. This Hun Wu was the descendant of the Thousand Witch Sect, Di Chen was really afraid that he still retained some terrifying ability.


    At this moment, Jie Wei and Yi Shi also walked in. Jie Qian said in pleasant surprise: "Big Brother Di Chen, you finally killed this Hun Wu.


    Di Chen suddenly thought of what Hun Wu had just said, and shook his head: "Don''t be careless, Hun Wu stayed here for a long time. Although he died, it''s hard to guarantee that there are other dangers here."


    Yi Shi asked curiously: "You guys were talking about the Thousand Witch Sect just now, what exactly is this? Isn''t this the Temple of Magi of our Witch race?"


    Witch race had only been around for a few thousand years, but Thousand Witch Sect had been around for tens of thousands of years. It was normal for Yi Shi to not know, but in reality, even the elders of Witch race might not know about it.


    Di Chen casually explained about the Thousand Witch Sect, upon hearing that, Yi Shi and Jie Wei had a face full of lingering fear. Only then did they know how dangerous this Hun Wu was, but based on what Di Chen had said, wasn''t the Sorcerer also not there?


    But in reality, Di Chen had yet to say goodbye to them. Witch race was most likely a descendant of one of the people of Thousand Witch Sect, so it would be better to not reveal this secret.


    "This place is still very dangerous. You guys be careful. I just used up a lot of energy. I''ll recover my elemental energy first. Help me find a token."


    Di Chen was afraid that the clan elder of the Thousand Witch Sect was still alive. If that was the case, then she was done for, she had to find the order badge of the Thousand Witch Sect and leave this place as soon as possible.


    Jie Qian and Yi Shi immediately started rummaging through the secret room. Since Hun Wu was hidden here to recuperate, then his order badge must be here.


    "Found it," Yi Shi quickly found a secret compartment on the wall. Inside it was a palm-sized plate with the word "Thousand" carved on it, but Di Chen was currently immersed in cultivation, so the two of them did not want to disturb Di Chen and kept him.


    "So you are here." However, at this time, a playful voice came out as Yan Hui and Wen Donna walked in.

 C283

    Jie Wei instantly cursed, and said coldly: "What are you guys doing here?"


    Yan Hui did not directly answer, his gaze landed on Di Chen, and said with a smile: "He''s very weak right now, looks like he was injured just now. You guys must have experienced a round of battle just now, right?"


    By the time the two of them arrived, Di Chen and Hun Wu''s battle had already ended, so they did not see Hun Wu.


    Jie Wei said warily, "This has nothing to do with you guys. Hurry up and leave this place, don''t obstruct us."


    Yan Hui laughed disapprovingly: "This is the Temple of Magi, and not your territory. Why are you letting us leave this place?"


    Jie Qian looked at Yan Hui coldly, he was so angry that he almost wanted to attack him. Yi Shi slightly shook her head, although Jie Long''s previous curse was very powerful, Yan Hui was not an ordinary person, if they really started fighting, they might not lose out.


    Yi Shi thought that Wendona would reason with him and said, "Donna, we still have some things that we shouldn''t let outsiders know, you guys should leave this place."


    Wen Donna stared at Yi Shi for a while. Unexpectedly, Yi Shi asked, "You guys just killed Soya and you still want us to leave?"


    Yi Shi''s expression slightly changed, "What exactly do you want?"


    Yan Hui''s eyes looked at the order badge in Yi Shi''s hands and asked curiously: "The order badge in your hand seems to be pretty good, I think it must be an extraordinary spirit weapon, you give this thing to us, maybe we can leave."


    She knew that this badge must be very important to Di Chen. Furthermore, it was Di Chen who killed Hun Wu and found this token, but they actually want to snatch it?


    Yan Hui laughed, then with a flip of his hand, a palm-sized wooden puppet threw out. The wooden puppet immediately turned into the size of a normal person, and then, it directly slapped towards Yi Shi.


    Yi Shi was also just an ordinary Witch, her magic could be considered powerful, but she was still weak. The puppet in front of her had no ability to resist at all, and got hit by the puppet unexpectedly.


    The power of the puppet was extremely strong. Yi Shi only felt as if she was pressed down by a small mountain.


    "Big Sister Yi Shi," Jie Qian''s face was filled with shock, she had never thought that Yan Hui would actually kill him.


    However, he did not say anything. To her, Yan Hui was the most important person, he did not care about the others, since his relationship with Yi Shi was considered not bad.


    "I''ll kill you all," Yi Shi said angrily as she suddenly threw a puppet at Yan Hui. That puppet had the same size as her, but it was holding onto a sword, and she controlled the puppet to slash at Yan Hui.


    Yan Hui also controlled his puppet to meet Yi Shi head-on. The two puppets attacked each other, and it could be seen that Yan Hui''s puppet was more nimble and its strength seemed to be even stronger. Yi Shi''s puppet was quickly at a disadvantage.


    "In terms of controlling your puppet, you won''t be able to beat me," Yan Hui sneered, and very quickly, his puppet had shattered Jie Long''s puppet.


    Seeing that his puppet was not a match, Jie Wei picked up his Method of travelling and chanted the Sorcerer''s Curse in his heart. However, Yan Hui immediately felt a itching sensation on his body as his skin grew a thick layer of sores, just like Soya.


    "Not good," Yan Hui immediately took out a pellet and swallowed it. At the same time, he also took out a small yellow talisman and stuck it on his body.


    Yan Hui smiled and said: "This pill is an antidote pill, it has a certain effect on all poisons, and this rune is a forbidden spell, it can block other people''s chants. Jie Wei, although your magic is powerful, it is useless against me."


    It was common in other places, but it was not common in the Eastern Desolation. Yan Hui would occasionally get one, and as for the Forbidden Spell, it was a rare type of Rune.


    Wen Donna was also startled when she saw these two things. She thought to herself, no wonder Yan Hui dared to come here, originally there were these two things as a counter to the Jie Wei Incantation, but since he had a way, why didn''t he save Soya just now?


    But soon enough, she understood. What if she saved Soar? What if he himself was in danger?


    "Jie Duo," Wen Donna said coldly, "You are not our opponent, so hurry up and f * ck off. I can spare you on account that you are also the daughter of the old Clan Chief, but this Di Chen must die."


    "Don''t even think about it," Platinum stood in front of her, refusing to leave.


    Wen Donna stared at Jie Wei for a while, knowing that she would not give up on Di Chen and could not be bothered to persuade his anymore. She suddenly took a step forward, and slammed her palm on Jie Wei''s chest, and with that palm, she was sent flying. She was different from the others, she was considered a warrior with a cultivation at the first level of Martial King, and her strength was not considered weak.


    "Since you''re so stubborn, I''ll have to kill you."


    "No," she whispered.


    Jie Long said angrily, "I don''t want to kill you, don''t force me."


    In reality, it wasn''t as if there was no other way. She just didn''t want to kill her.


    Wen DuoNa did not believe that Jie Wei had the ability to do so, and sneered: "Can you kill me? Furthermore, we just killed Yi Shi, would you let us go? I think you know you can''t kill us. "


    He took out a small bottle and stored it in his hand.


    Wen Donna also noticed the actions of Jie Duo, and sneered, "You want to use the insect Gu against me? I''ve seen the insect Gu you refined before, and with just these poisonous bugs, you still want to kill me. What a fantasy story, go to hell."


    After saying this, Windona took another step towards Jie Dui. Previously, when Jie Duo killed Soya, Windona had already had the intention to kill Jie Duo. Now, how could she let him go?


    Seeing that Wendona was unwilling to give up, Jie Dazhi also did not insist. He immediately opened the small bottle, and a purple bug drilled out from within. The bug''s entire body was covered in mucus, making it look a little disgusting.


    "The purple blood worm," Wendona recognized it instantly with a look of disbelief on her face. "How did you catch the purple blood worm?"


    This time, she finally realized the danger. How could she dare to stay? She immediately retreated, but she was already a step too late.


    The purple blood worm opened its mouth and spat out venom onto her body. The venom corroded her body, causing her to let out a blood-curdling scream. Her skin and flesh quickly corroded, and she quickly turned into thick water amidst her screams.


    "It''s actually a purple blood worm ¡­" Yan Hui looked at the thick water on the ground in fear. This purple blood worm was one of the ten great poisonous bugs!


    "Damn it," Yan Hui immediately took out a small bottle, and a few Purple Flame Insects flew out from it towards the purple blood worm.


    The purple blood worm immediately spat out venom onto the Purple Flame Insect''s body, and the Purple Flame Insects instantly melted into water.


    Yan Hui controlled his puppet to attack the purple blood worm again, but at the same time, he was corroded by the purple blood worm. This time, Yan Hui was finally afraid.


    "Go to hell," Jie Long once again controlled the purple blood worm and crawled towards Yan Hui. Once again, he spat out the poison that sprinkled onto Yan Hui''s body, and similarly corroded Yan Hui with a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.


    At this time, most of the purple blood worm''s venom had been consumed. She kept the purple blood worm into the small bottle, walked to Yi Shi''s side, and said with a face full of sadness.


    Several hours later, Di Chen finally woke from his cultivation. When she saw Yi Shi''s corpse, she was slightly stunned, and then, looked at Yan Hui and Wen Donna who had been melted into thick water, and immediately understood what was going on.


    "Jie Qian, are you alright?" Di Chen asked with concern. Every time he was immersed in cultivation, he would never wake up, even when the most intense battle was going on around him, he would still lose himself in cultivation.


    Jie Qian shook his head and said, "I''m fine, but big sister Yi Shi died."


    It was true that she was sad, but now that she was sad to the point that she couldn''t shed tears, she could only calmly look at Yi Shi''s corpse.


    Di Chen let out a long sigh. He didn''t know what to say either, and only said after a long period of silence, "Let''s leave this place."


    After he walked out of the secret room, he did not see any more ghost shadow. This was also because after Hun Wu''s death, the power he had gathered up had disappeared, and those ghost shadow had also been thoroughly relieved.


    The two of them went into the great hall, but Di Chen did not immediately leave, but looked at the Sorcerer Statue instead.


    Previously, Di Chen and Elder Ting had discussed, that this so called Sorcerer Statue might very well be the first Elder of the Witch race, but now Di Chen knew that it wasn''t so. It was very likely that this statue was one of the Sect Leader s, but he wasn''t sure which generation it belonged to.


    "Hmm?" Di Chen suddenly felt a strange power from the sculpture. He did not feel it when he first entered the hall, but it was extremely obvious now.


    Jie Qian asked with doubt: "Big Brother Di Chen, what''s wrong?"


    "Wait for me," Di Chen said as he placed Yi Shi''s corpse on the ground. He walked to the side of the sculpture and smashed it with his fist, causing the statue to creak and the cracks to spread out in all directions.


    Jie Qian''s expression changed as he saw this. "Big Brother Di Chen, this is a Sorcerer Statue. The two elders will definitely not let you get away with this after you''ve shattered it."


    Di Chen laughed out loud: "How am I a statue of the Sorcerer? He is just an ordinary warrior just like us. Furthermore, how would the two elders know who broke this statue?"


    That was true, as long as he did not say it himself, the two elders could not tell who did it.


    Di Chen smashed his fist onto the statue again, causing it to fall to the ground with a crash, following that, a black figure jumped out.


    "Not good," Di Chen immediately retreated. Who knew if this black shadow was in danger?


    However, the black shadow did not attack Di Chen. Instead, it looked around in a daze, as if it was at a loss.


    It was only then that Di Chen saw the appearance of the black figure clearly. This black figure was different from the statue, it looked like a young man, but there was a vicissitudes of life in his eyes that did not match his age. Di Chen did not know who he was, but he knew that he must have been an expert when he was alive, so why was such a person sealed within the statue?

 C284

    Facing the black figure, Di Chen did not dare to say anything. He knew that he could not escape, so he did not have any intentions of escaping.


    The black shadow stared blankly at Di Chen for a long time before asking, "Did you save me from the shock?"


    "Save?" Di Chen had no intention to save him, he could only faintly sense that there was a power within the statue, but he did not explain, and asked: "Who are you?"


    "Me?" The youth seemed to have sunk into a long period of reminiscence, and only after a long time did he finally speak, "I reckon that no one in this world will remember me, my name is Wu Song, and I am the last Sect Leader."


    "It''s you," How could Di Chen not have heard of this person? Previously, Yu Xuanji had briefly introduced the situation of the top ten ancient sects to him, he knew that the last Sect Leader of a sect was Wu Song, but he never thought that he would be so young.


    Wu Song was slightly taken aback: "You know me?"


    Di Chen thought about it, but decided not to hide it. "I saw some of the Sect Leader s from the top ten ancient sects, including the Nether Moon Sect s, the Five Poisons Sect''s Hong Jun, and the successors of some of the sects. For example, your Thousand Witch Sect''s successor, Hun Wu."


    Wu Song looked surprised when he heard it: "I never thought that you would actually see these people. Looks like these sects have already returned to the world?"


    never thought that after being trapped in such a place for so many years, he would realize that those sects have already reunited. Furthermore, the person in front of him had all seen those sects before, he was not a simple person.


    "That''s right," Di Chen asked curiously. "I heard that the ten great ancient sects were destroyed in a single night, and I believe that the same goes for the Thousand Witch Sect. Is this how senior was sealed?"


    The Sect Leader s of the other sects did not seem to be dead. Only Wu Song''s soul was left, and the Thousand Witch Sect s that came out were in a worse state than the other sects.


    Wu Song sighed: "It''s already been so many years, it''s no longer important who killed him. Oh right, you said earlier that you met our Thousand Witch Sect''s successor, Hun Wu. Who is this Hun Wu?"


    Di Chen was stunned: "He should be the descendant of one of your Thousand Witch Sect s. He claims to have already inherited the position of Sect Leader."


    Wu Song raised his brows and said: "The Thousand Witch Sect''s Scripture must have obtained the consent of the Sect Leader. If I don''t agree, how could he possibly be the successor to the Thousand Witch Sect?


    Di Chen originally thought that Hun Wu was the descendant that Wu Song had found, but looking at it now, it seemed that Hun Wu did not get Wu Song''s recognition. In other words, his wishful thinking was only to inherit the Thousand Witch Sect?


    Di Chen thought that perhaps he suddenly found out about this place.


    "That''s right," Wu Song asked. "Where is this Hun Wu right now?"


    Di Chen thought about it and still said it, "I killed him ¡­"


    He originally wanted to explain what Hun Wu had done, but Wu Song stopped him. From the sound of it, he didn''t mind if Hun Wu died or not, as he wasn''t''s successor in the first place.


    "Since you killed him, the Sect Leader''s medallion should be in your hands."


    Wu Song stared at Di Chen and said.


    Di Chen originally wanted to keep it for himself, but he knew that Wu Song was stronger than him, if he did not hand it over, he was afraid that Wu Song would kill him.


    Wu Song took the order badge and looked at it, and once again sank into his deep memories. After thinking about it for a long time, he returned it back to Di Chen.


    Di Chen was startled: "Senior, what does that mean?"


    Wu Song laughed: "I have already been trapped for tens of thousands of years, and have finally come out with great difficulty, but I am only a broken soul right now, and will be reincarnated very soon. I also don''t have time to look for the other successors, your being able to come to this place is fate, I hope you can inherit the position of our Thousand Witch Sect."


    Di Chen never thought that Wu Song would make such a decision, but he was already the descendant of the Eternal Gate, would he still be able to inherit the Thousand Witch Sect?


    But having said that, no one other than Di Chen could inherit the position of the Sect Leader. Di Chen thought about it and still nodded, but he did not reveal his identity as the successor of the Eternal Gate.


    "Since you are the successor to my Thousand Witch Sect, I have to give you a gift."


    Wu Song floated in front of Di Chen, he pointed at the space between Di Chen''s eyebrows, and a burst of energy entered Di Chen''s body. Di Chen immediately felt as if his body was infusing with a strange power, this feeling was as if he was absorbing a Demonic beast flesh and blood, very quickly, Di Chen discovered that he had actually broken through the fifth level of Martial King, and his own cultivation had actually been forcefully raised by.


    Wu Song smiled: "I helped you forcefully raise your cultivation level, but this type of increase is not good for cultivation. For a period of time, you have to get used to your cultivation level, at the very least, I want to make sure that your strength matches your cultivation level."


    However, Di Chen was not a true warrior, although he was using Martial King, he was only using brute strength and could not use any techniques, so he did not need to adapt to the realms of warriors, but if it was the realms of scholars, then it would be different. Di Chen had to master the cultivation techniques corresponding to the realms.


    However, breaking through four small realms in one go was not easy, as it had reduced Di Chen''s cultivation by several months.


    "Thank you senior," Di Chen said with his hands folded in front of his chest.


    Wu Song laughed, "I didn''t feel any Yuan Power in your body just now. You are literati, right?"


    Di Chen nodded his head: "Right now I am in the first level of the Wen Emperor Realm, and have faintly reached the edge of double stage. My great strength is due to me swallowing a Pearl of Life previously, and all these years I have absorbed quite a few demonic beast and blood beasts."


    Wu Song realised, thinking that it was no wonder that Di Chen could destroy the sculpture with his bare hands, it was rare for a literati to have such a strong power.


    Wu Song smiled and said: "I never thought that the last successor to my Thousand Witch Sect would be a literati, but I don''t think it''s good for my literati either, I coincidentally have an Earth Artifact here that''s suitable for you to use."


    As he said that, he pointed to the skeleton cane on the ground with one hand. The cane was wrapped in a layer of stone clothing, which slowly peeled off, revealing a black cane. He threw the cane towards Di Chen and said: This is the Thousand Witchcraft Staff, it does not have much damage, but it can directly attack a person''s soul.


    "What?" Di Chen gasped when he heard this, he had never heard of an Earth Tool that could directly attack another person''s soul.


    "But ¡­" Di Chen hesitated again, "I don''t have any soul force, how do I use it?"


    Wu Song explained: "Actually this walking stick does not need soul force, as long as you inherit the position of Thousand Witch Sect, you can use it. Furthermore, no matter how weak the other party is, as long as you get hit by this Thousand Witchcraft Staff once, your soul will be destroyed."


    Di Chen gasped, he lovingly played with the Thousand Witchcraft Staff in his hands, and as expected, he could faintly feel a special power from the Thousand Witchcraft Staff, he thought that with this walking stick, even if he met someone stronger than him, he would have a chance of killing them.


    "Many thanks ¡­" Originally, Di Chen wanted to thank Wu Song again, but he suddenly saw that Wu Song''s soul was getting fainter and fainter, just like the Clan Elder before, who was about to enter the cycle of reincarnation.


    Wu Song did not seem to be surprised at all, nor was he afraid of his own death, as he smiled: "Right now, you are Thousand Witch Sect, so you can do whatever you want in the future.


    To Wu Song, the Thousand Witch Sect had already been exterminated tens of thousands of years ago. Now that he was almost reincarnated, he no longer had any thoughts of reviving the Thousand Witch Sect.


    After saying these words, Wu Song''s figure became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared from Di Chen''s sight, completely entering the cycle of reincarnation.


    Di Chen looked at Wu Song and sighed, he kept the Thousand Witchcraft Staff and looked at Jie Qian: "Let''s go out."


    Those examinees had already entered the Temple of Magi for a few days, but none of them had made it out yet, so Elder Ting, Elder Hong and the others were waiting outside. As time passed, they became more and more worried, as countless people had entered the Temple of Magi to pay their respects, but none of them made it out alive.


    "Herba Hydrae, could it be that Jie Wei is in danger? Let''s go in and take a look."


    Zha Zhu was really a little worried, thinking about entering the Temple of Magi.


    Herba Hydrae shook his head: "If they really are in danger, what''s the use of you entering?"


    When Zha Zhu heard this, he was like a deflated ball. He did not say anymore, and the truth was that this was indeed the case.


    This time, even the two elders were a bit worried. Although they had already made the decision that no one would come out alive, they still could not accept that they would die.


    Yan Huai was the most worried. He viewed Yan Hui as his successor the whole time, but he was not confident that Yan Hui would come out alive.


    Just then, the door suddenly opened with a creak, and a man and woman walked out. It was Di Chen and Jie Qian.


    "Someone''s coming out!" After seeing the two, everyone cried out in alarm. Since someone had come out, it meant that someone was still alive.


    Zha Zhu immediately walked over excitedly and said: "Jie Qian, Big Brother Di Chen, you finally came out. How are you guys?"


    Jie Wei shook his head. "I''m fine, just ¡­"


    Di Chen placed his corpse on the ground. Everyone looked at Yi Shi''s corpse, stunned for a moment before sighing with a face full of emotion.


    The Herba Hydrae sighed, "It''s good that you managed to come out alive."


    She knew that Jie Yuan must have met with great danger inside. Although Yi Shi''s death made her feel a little regretful, the most important thing was that Jie Yuan was still fine.


    Elder Ting asked doubtfully: "Di Chen, where are the others?"


    Everyone realized that other than Di Chen and Jie Long, no one else had come out. They felt that something was wrong, thinking, could it be that all of these people had died?


    Jie Wei lightly shook his head. How could the crowd not understand what Jie Duo meant? One by one, their faces changed.

 C285

    "Jie Long, what''s going on?" Herba Hydrae could not wait and asked, he could not believe that they were all dead.


    Jie Wei did not know how to explain, so he looked at Di Chen.


    Di Chen explained: "This Temple of Magi is not what you think she is.


    He then told them what happened in the Temple of Magi, including the origins of the Temple of Magi and the matter of Hun Wu killing everyone. Only, he had concealed a part of it, such as Wu Song''s matter.


    When the people of Witch race heard this, their faces were filled with surprise. They originally thought that the Temple of Magi was left behind by the Sorcerer, but who would have thought that the Temple of Magi was just an ancient sect?


    All these years, when Witch race offered sacrifices to the so-called Sorcerer, was it just to help that person raise his strength?


    Everyone''s understanding of the Sorcerer had finally improved. None of them could believe that the so-called Sorcerer did not exist, so what was the point in using the Temple of Magi as a place of pilgrimage?


    When the crowd heard that Di Chen had killed Hun Wu, they were even more shocked. So many Witch race s had died in his hands, yet he was killed by Di Chen.


    "Where''s Yan Hui?" Yan Huai still could not believe that Yan Hui had also died, and asked nervously.


    Jie Long became angry the moment she thought about Yan Hui wanting to kill her. She did not actually hide it from him, and said: "I killed Yan Hui."


    Hearing this, everyone was startled again. They had originally thought that Yan Hui was also killed by Hun Wu, but who would have thought that Yan Hui was also killed by Jie Qian?


    Di Chen also laughed bitterly. He had purposely concealed the matter with Yan Hui just now, but who knew that Jie Wei would actually say it out loud.


    "It''s you," When Yan Huai heard this, he was instantly enraged, and directly rushed towards Jie Wei: "You actually killed Yan Hui, I''ll kill you."


    Herba Hydrae immediately stood in front of Yan Huai and said in a low voice: "Yan Huai, if you dare injure Jie Wei, don''t blame me for being impolite."


    Yan Huai seemed to still be a little afraid of the Ghost Granny, but he did not immediately make a move. Instead, he whispered, "Herba Hydrae, what is the meaning of this?


    Herba Hydrae said calmly: "I heard about it, but I do not believe that Jie Wei would act for no reason. Jie Wei, what do you think is going on?"


    Jie Long then told Yan Hui about how he died.


    Actually, everyone could also imagine, the biggest competitor Yan Hui wanted to inherit the position of Patriarch was actually Jie Long. Of course, he wanted to get rid of Jie Long, wasn''t that the reason Yan Huai sent Soya and Wen Duo Na in?


    "Nonsense, how could Yan Hui kill Yi Shi, this is only one side of your story."


    Yan Huai was naturally unwilling to believe it, and berated: "You must be afraid that Yan Hui will snatch your position, which is why you want to kill Yan Hui."


    The Herba Hydrae said with a sneer: "If Jie Qian said she killed Yan Hui, you would believe him. If she said Yan Hui killed Yi Shi, you would just say it was nonsense.


    In fact, Yan Huai clearly knew in his heart that Yan Hui had very possibly really killed Yi Shi, which was why he was forced to kill him.


    Everyone looked at each other, they also knew what kind of person Yan Hui was in private.


    "I don''t care what the truth is, I only know that Jie Long killed Yan Hui.


    Yan Huai also knew that his clansmen all believed in Jie Wei''s words, so he changed his tone and said, "If Yan Hui really kills Yi Shi, I will treat him with the clan''s rules, and definitely will not be biased."


    He spoke with justice, but Yan Hui was already dead, how could he be treated?


    Herba Hydrae sneered: "If Yan Hui had not died, would you have said that?"


    Yan Huai said seriously: "Of course I will. After all, I am the Acting Clan Master now, and I will treat him with the fairness of the clan rules."


    Then, he looked towards the two elders and said: "Elder Ting, Elder Hong, you heard Jie Long personally admit that she killed Yan Hui. The Witch race rules state that clansmen cannot kill each other, and since she has violated the clan rules, you cannot let her go."


    In fact, she knew that Yan Hui was the one who had attacked first, and Jie Long was also the one who had protected himself. Furthermore, Jie Long was the only one who had walked out, so since she was the Patriarch''s successor, how could she be killed?


    However, in the end, Jie Long had violated the clan rules. Not only had he killed Yan Hui, she had also killed Soya and Wen Donna. This was a bit too much, so he didn''t know what to say right now.


    Elder Hong did not express her view and the Herba Hydrae was speechless.


    "If you say that Jie Wei should be treated according to clan rules, then you''re the first one to be treated?"


    Just then, Di Chen suddenly spoke out, and upon hearing that, everyone looked at Di Chen curiously.


    Yan Huai did not expect him to still dare to speak at this point of time, he squinted his eyes and said: "Di Chen, what do you mean by this?"


    Di Chen said calmly: "Back then you already killed a decent Jie Hua Mu, if you wanted to deal with Jie Wei, wouldn''t you be taking responsibility for your own actions?"


    Everyone cried out in alarm when they heard this. Although they didn''t know if this was true or not, it was still a shocking matter.


    Yan Huai was startled for a moment. He thought that Jie Long must have said it, but how could he admit to such a thing?


    Yan Huai scolded: "Di Chen, you are an outsider. You actually dared to casually slander our Witch race.


    Elder Ting also frowned: "Di Chen, you cannot speak carelessly of this."


    Di Chen was not a member of the Witch race, so these words were indeed offensive. Even if Yan Huai killed him now, he would not say anything.


    "I am not spouting nonsense. I met Clan Leader Zha Fei earlier, although he is dead, her remnant soul is still in the hall. This is what he said."


    Di Chen said calmly, "I am only repeating what Clan Leader Zha Fei said."


    "Patriarch Zha Fei?" Everyone exclaimed, Clan Leader Zha Fei was the previous Clan Leader of Jie Sang, he had entered the Temple of Magi and never came out. Everyone in the Witch race thought that he was dead, but did he still have her soul?


    Yan Huai berated him: "You''re simply spouting nonsense. Clan leader Zha Fei has been missing for dozens of years, but Jie Sang only died a few years ago. How does he know who killed Jie Sang?"


    The people of the Witch race had never seen a person''s soul before, so no one was willing to believe that Zha Fei''s soul was still alive. Furthermore, Jie Sang had not died when Zha Fei went missing, so no one was willing to believe these words.


    This time, even the Herba Hydrae raised her eyebrows slightly, but she did not say anything.


    "What can you hide from Patriarch Zha Fei? Although he is in the Temple of Magi, she knows many things."


    Di Chen looked at Jie Long and said: "Show them the Sorcerer''s curse."


    Jie Qian understood what Di Chen meant and immediately took out the Sorcerer''s Curse Scroll. This Sorcerer''s Curse could only be cultivated by the Patriarch, and only after the Zha Fei Family Patriarch disappeared, would the consumption of the Sorcerer''s Curse increase. Now that had passed it on to her, in other words, Zha Fei had passed the position of Clan Patriarch to Jie Wei, so for her to be able to obtain Zha Fei''s inheritance meant that Jie Wei was telling the truth.


    "It''s really the lost Sorcerer Curse," After everyone saw the Sorcerer Scroll, their faces filled with shock. Did the Zha Fei Family Patriarch actually pass the position of Patriarch to Jie Long?


    Elder Ting received it with some disbelief. He said in surprise, "This is indeed a Sorcerer Curse."


    Hearing Elder Ting''s affirmation, everyone finally realised that Jie Long might be speaking the truth, and they all looked at Yan Huai.


    Yan Huai''s expression changed. Since Zha Fei was still alive, she might actually know about this matter.


    But he still retorted, "Impossible, this must be nonsense."


    His voice was trembling, and it seemed that even he himself believed Di Chen''s words.


    When the crowd heard his trembling voice, how could they not understand the truth? One by one, they coldly stared at him.


    A few years ago, when the other barbarian race s had attacked the Witch race, Jie Sang had led his clansmen to block them, but now that Jie Sang had been killed by Yan Huai, the crux of the problem was that he had occupied the position of Clan Leader of the Orange Sang Clan, and he even wanted to kill Jie Wei. How could the crowd bear with his actions?


    "Yan Huai, did you really cause the death of Jie Sang?" Elder Hong snapped.


    "No ¡­" Yan Huai still wanted to refute him, but his pale white face had already betrayed him.


    How could Elder Hong believe him? She shouted sternly: "Men, arrest Yan Huai and bring him under clan rule."


    A few of them immediately rushed towards Yan Huai, pressing him back into the clan.


    "That damned beast," Elder Ting was still a little angry as he thought about it. He looked at Jie Long and sighed, "You''ve worked hard all these years, and it''s all our fault. This commoner was actually deceived by Yan Huai."


    Jie Long lightly shook his head. "It''s nothing."


    However, if she said that Yan Huai had killed her father, no one would believe her. Fortunately, Di Chen was smart, and told them that it was the Zha Fei Family Patriarch who had told them the truth, so how could anyone not believe the words of the Zha Fei Family Patriarch?


    Elder Hong looked at Jie Long and said: "So that means Patriarch Zha Fei has already passed the position of Patriarch to you?"


    Jie Wei nodded, but soon after, she shook her head and said, "But I don''t want to be the Clan Leader."


    Jie Qian had returned to the Witch race to snatch back the Patriarch''s seat, but now that Di Chen didn''t want to be the Clan Leader, everyone was startled upon hearing this. Who wouldn''t want to be the Clan Master?


    Herba Hydrae immediately said: "Jie Wei, what nonsense are you spouting? You are the daughter of the Orange Sang Patriarch, and furthermore, it is the personal request of the Zha Fei Patriarch, how can you refuse?"


    Jie Qian knew that the Herba Hydrae wholeheartedly hoped that she could inherit the position of Patriarch. She had wanted to do this before, but she knew that if she were to inherit the position of Patriarch, she had to stay in the Witch race. This was not what she wanted.


    How could Herba Hydrae not know what Jie Yuan was thinking? She looked at him tiredly, not knowing what to say.


    Elder Hong and Elder Ting also looked at each other. It wasn''t easy to come out of the Temple of Magi, but she didn''t want to inherit the position of the clan leader.


    Originally, he had planned to leave Jie Long in the Witch race this time, and then go find the Sect Leader Token of the ten great sects himself. But the reality was that it wasn''t convenient for him to bring Jie Wei along with him.
