Chapter 204 Zi Yin: I also want to worship the Xuan Mo Patriarch
……

However, no matter how Blood Shadow shouted in his heart.

The situation was still moving unwaveringly in the direction he least wanted to see.

The majestic golden-feathered crane aimed at a piece of bluestone that was about ten feet in diameter. It scratched it with its steel claws and pecked at it with its golden beak, crushing it into pieces in just a few strokes.

It swept across the way like an old bull plowing the field, not leaving out any corner.

The Jindan cultivator was also not idle. He released balls of true fire that burned the ravine. The surrounding weeds and trees were immediately ignited, and the fire continued to spread.

Feeling the movement above, Xueying's hair stood on end and he fell into deep despair and fear.

He knew that he could no longer hide. If he continued to lie dormant, he would either be pecked to death by the golden-winged crane or burned to death by the real fire!

Xueying gritted his teeth and suddenly made up his mind.

He swung out a ball of blood mist that wrapped around the storage treasure chest and shot out with it.

In an instant, his entire body turned into a long blood-red rainbow that rushed straight into the sky and fled towards the horizon at a high speed.

His speed of escape was extremely fast, much faster than that of ordinary Jindan early stage cultivators. With this escape technique, he had escaped countless searches and pursuits.

This time, Xueying also placed his hopes on his own escape method.

however.

Just as the blood shadow flew out from its hiding place, the golden-winged crane on the other side suddenly moved as if it had been prepared.

"Shhh!!"

The golden wings flapped gracefully, and the Golden-Feathered Crane instantly soared into the sky, turning into a golden light and chasing after the blood shadow.

The speed was so fast that it even left a long golden tail flame in the air.

According to Chen Xuanmo's calculations, if his beloved son Chen Ninghe burst out with all his strength without taking into account the consumption, his speed could quickly reach about 3,600 miles per hour, which is equivalent to about 900 kilometers per hour.

Although this speed is still not enough to break the sound barrier, it is far beyond the full-strength explosive speed of an early Jindan cultivator.

Of course, Chen Ninghe cannot maintain this explosive speed for a long time. His optimal cruising speed should be around two thousand miles per hour.

But even this cruising speed has exceeded the speed at which an ordinary human Jindan cultivator can burst out at full strength. Only some Jindan cultivators who are good at this can reach such a speed.

So it is.

In just a short moment, the Golden-Winged Crane arrived first and caught up with the Blood Shadow.

He flew above the blood shadow, his golden wings suddenly spread open, and each feather was like a golden sword spreading out in a fan shape.

Flap the wings.

Rays of golden light shot out from the end of the feathers, like thousands of swords unsheathed, covering the blood shadow rushing below like a violent storm.

All of a sudden.

It was as if a golden rain of swords was falling from the sky.

The dazzling golden light was dazzling, and each ray of golden light exuded a captivating sharpness that could sting people's skin and cause pain before it even got close.

The blood shadow was frightened to death. He quickly shook his body and instantly turned into hundreds of blood-red shadows, running around like wandering souls in the sky. He dodged most of the golden sword rain at the critical moment.

But in the end, many blood-colored shadows were hit by the golden light and disappeared into nothingness.

Dodging the ultimate move, most of the blood-colored phantoms gathered together and condensed into a human-like form again. However, his face had become pale and ugly, and his breath was much weaker. Only the storage box was still firmly wrapped by his blood-colored energy.

"damn it!"

Xueying was extremely frightened.

He had heard that fifth-rank spiritual birds were very fast, and he originally thought that he could definitely compete with them with his own speed. But now that he had truly witnessed the speed of the Golden-winged Spiritual Crane, he realized that racial talent was just racial talent.

The flying speed of spiritual birds is naturally much faster than that of cultivators of the same level. If it is a wind-type or thunder-type spiritual bird, which has the fastest attributes among all, the speed would be even more outrageous.

After this brief delay, Zhong Liye had already caught up like a meteor.

Speaking only of the five elements cultivators, the escape speed of the fire element cultivators is often ranked second, second only to the gold element cultivators who are good at the golden light and gilded shadow type of escape techniques.

As soon as he arrived, the sword was already drawn.

The Chiyang sword turned into several feet long, and with a series of "jiejiejie" sounds, it slashed towards the blood shadow.

In an instant, the sword light was blazing, the flames were billowing, and the terrifying might enveloped the blood shadow.

Xueying's heart tightened and he hurriedly dodged the sword light, but was trapped by the red sun true fire in the sky.

The blazing flames burned his body, and foul-smelling black smoke continued to rise from the wounds.

Xueying was unwilling to die tragically on the spot, so he tried to rush left and right, but he was constantly blocked by the Golden-Feathered Crane and the Red Sun Sword, and he was unable to escape for a while.

At this time, the Xuan Mo Ling Sword also broke away from Wang Qianqian's control, following closely behind, pretending to block people.

But now that everything is going well, Chen Xuanmo is not willing to waste the purple energy.

Blood Shadow is good at the Blood Shadow Escape Technique, which allows him to escape in stealth and has explosive speed. His fighting style tends to be that of an assassin.

This type of cultivators are often very difficult to deal with, and ordinary Jindan cultivators are unwilling to confront them.

But at this moment, the area he was best at was completely restrained. How could he be a match for the combined forces of Jinyu Linghe and Zhongli Ye in a head-on confrontation?

Not long.

He could no longer hold on and begged for mercy: "Stop! I'll give you the storage box, and I only ask you to spare my life."

As he spoke, he also took out a powerful weapon that he had been refining for a long time, the [Dirty Blood Ball], and used his divine sense to open the lid of the storage box wrapped in blood energy, allowing the Dirty Blood Ball to hover at the opening of the storage box.

"Otherwise, I will blow up the treasure in the storage box."

Xueying stared at Zhongli Ye and Jinyu Linghe nervously, and threatened fiercely with a ferocious look on his face.

As expected, Zhongli Ye and Jinyu Linghe stopped at the same time, but did not retreat. Instead, they blocked his escape route from the front and the back, and stared at Blood Shadow with unfriendly looks.

"call!"

Seeing that they had temporarily stopped attacking, Xueying breathed a sigh of relief and his tone slowed down a lot: "Master Chiye, Brother Linghe, I, Xueying, have no life-and-death feud with you. As long as you are willing to let me go, I can hand over the storage treasure chest and swear to leave Wu immediately and never come back."

The Blood Soul Sect that was wreaking havoc in the Great Wu Kingdom was a complex group of evildoers, not all of them were native to the Great Wu Kingdom. From the tone of this Blood Shadow, it was clear that he was most likely not a local.

There was a pause.

Xueying quickly added, "However, I hope Master Chiye will not treat me as a fool. You must swear on the reputation of the Yunyang Sect and your own Dao heart that as long as you get the storage treasure chest, you will let me leave alive."

Hearing this, Zhongli Ye frowned tightly.

He really wanted to get the storage treasure chest, but he was also unwilling to let go of this Blood Soul Sect demon with bloody hands.

But if he was asked to swear randomly and then deny it later, he would definitely not be able to do it.

After all, Zhongli Ye is not a cultivator of the magic path, so he naturally attaches great importance to his own Taoism and the reputation of his sect.

At this moment, Chen Ningtai happened to fly over slowly.

Hearing Xueying's request, he immediately said: "Xueying, you have committed numerous crimes in my Great Wu Kingdom. You can never leave alive. However, if you are willing to hand over the storage treasure chest, we can give you a quick death."

"Or, if you have any relatives or descendants who have not yet joined the Blood Soul Cult, we can also provide financial assistance to you."

"joke."

Xueying's face looked very ugly. He gritted his teeth and stared at the two men and Yihe fiercely.

"I'm not bargaining with you. Either let me live, or I'll let this treasure chest be buried with me."

No one could predict how terrible the consequences would be if this evil blood ball exploded in the storage treasure chest. After all, the filth and corrosive effects of this evil blood ball were too strong. Perhaps only the defensive mid-grade magic weapon, the Cangqing Treasure Shield, could survive.

This includes the puppet heart that Wang Qianqian desperately desires, most of which cannot be kept.

Could it be that we really have to let this blood shadow go?
Just when Chen Ningtai and Zhong Liye both looked conflicted, on the other side, Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state, moved.

He calculated his purple energy and found that there were still 1286 strands left. He used up a thousand strands of it and gave Zhong Li Ye an orange mark.

To be honest, Chen Xuanmo felt a little distressed.

But when he thought about how his adopted son Zhongli Ye had often come to worship over the years, contributing more than 400 strands of purple energy each time, he would just consider this as a kickback to him.

What's more, the world is so dangerous now.

Even a cultivator at the Jindan stage is not necessarily free from worries about his life.

Spending some purple energy to improve Zhongli Ye would give him more life-saving capital and also make more contribution to the family.

As soon as the orange mark appeared on Zhong Liye's forehead, it shattered with a "pop" sound.

Orange spots of light spread all around.

Zhongli Ye's tiger body shook, and he suddenly entered a mysterious state.

At this moment, he seemed to have merged into one with the world, and his understanding of the way of fire surged into his brain like a tide.

The flames around him flickered, then swirled around him, as if they had come alive. They were mysterious and incomprehensible, as if they contained some profound truth.

"Ah this..."

Chen Xuanmo was stunned.

He originally thought that Zhongli Ye's orange mark would most likely appear on the opportunity of "getting the storage treasure chest". After all, the most important thing at the moment is to successfully obtain the storage treasure chest. However, he never thought that his biggest desire now is to improve his understanding of the Great Way of Fire.

Okay~

Chen Xuanmo was helpless.

The purple energy is powerful, but the only problem is that he can't control the effect of the luck mark after it explodes. This wave of orange marks was used incorrectly.

Moreover, the remaining purple energy can no longer support the creation of another orange mark.

What a pity~
Chen Xuanmo sighed and couldn't help feeling a little regretful about the many treasures in the storage chest.

Especially that "Puppet Heart", I don't know when I will encounter it again.

"This, this, this..."

Blood Shadow, who was originally still hesitating whether to increase the intensity of the threat, almost popped his eyes out.

He felt his head buzzing and he felt a little dazed.

What kind of story-telling novel am I reading?

In his life, Xueying had only seen things like sudden breakthroughs during a fight and realization of the great principles on the spot in novels, but had never heard of such things in real life.

Especially since he only has four spiritual roots, he is naturally not as good as a genius with three spiritual roots in terms of comprehending artistic conception, true meaning, and the laws of the universe. This makes him more or less regretful and unwilling.

But the scene before him really shocked him.

Damn it~
What kind of luck does this guy have? This bastard gave him the feeling that he had touched the threshold of the laws of the universe.

Asshole, he is only in the early stage of Golden Core. Even if he is a genius, shouldn't he have to wait until the late stage of Golden Core before he can touch the threshold of the laws of the Dao?

To be more precise, truly mastering some of the great laws of one's own field is the standard for cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

Is this bastard a second-level spiritual root?
No, even if one has two spiritual roots, it would be difficult to reach the threshold of the great Dao law in the early stage of Golden Elixir, right?

Most of them would have to wait until they reached the middle stage of the Golden Core before they could make such progress in their comprehension of the Great Dao.

It is said that only those with legendary spiritual roots can reach the threshold of their own path in the early stages of the Golden Elixir stage.

Intense jealousy made Bloodshadow's eyes turn scarlet.

Why? Why don't I have the third spiritual root? Why don't I have the luck and opportunity to understand the laws of the great way so easily?

At this moment, Xueying suddenly felt his arm go numb, as if he was poked by something, and the dirty blood ball in his hand flew out immediately.

He secretly said "not good" and instantly came to his senses from his intense emotions.

In a panic, he caught a glimpse of a pitch-black magic sword from the corner of his eye, which was humming and showing off its power because its evil plan had succeeded.

This spiritual sword is naturally the Xuanmo spiritual sword that Chen Xuanmo possesses.

Chen Xuanmo also didn't expect that Xueying would be so out of control and jealous when he saw Zhong Liye fall into enlightenment and sense the laws of the Dao.

It feels like a person who has bought lottery tickets regularly since childhood but has never won, and then accidentally sees his neighbor win five million by buying a random lottery ticket.

How could Chen Xuanmo let go of such a good opportunity?
He immediately launched a sneak attack and used his taunting skills to attract Blood Shadow's attention.

really.

Blood flashed in Xueying's eyes again.

He, a dignified Blood Soul Master, was unexpectedly ambushed by a pitch-black spiritual sword!

Moreover, it was extremely sarcastic, as if it was mocking that Bloodshadow's brain was not as useful as a sword.

"Damn it... No, I fell into a trap!"

Blood Shadow suddenly woke up, taunted and controlled Latuo, and immediately did not bother to fight with the Soul-Breaking Sword, and hurriedly grabbed the filthy blood ball.

Unfortunately it was too late.

A ball of red sun fire suddenly appeared in front of the blood ball, like a living thing.

It opened a huge mouth made of flames and swallowed the blood ball in one gulp.

The blood cell exploded instantly.

The exploding dirty blood energy immediately caused the ball of true fire to twist violently, but the overflowing dirty blood energy was firmly controlled by the ball of true fire and did not leak out at all.

Under the burning of the true fire, the dirty blood energy began to be continuously annihilated.

Compared to before, the power of this small ball of Red Sun True Fire is much greater.

"This..." Blood Shadow's pupils shrank suddenly.

He couldn't believe it.

But at this moment, Zhong Li Ye's eyes were indifferent, and the flames around him sometimes condensed into flowers, and sometimes transformed into flying birds, walking beasts, and swimming fish. He looked like he was still immersed in the state of comprehending the laws of the Dao.

Suddenly, he moved.

He just raised his hand and made a sword gesture, and the Red Sun Sword instantly shot out and hovered in front of him.

He touched the sword with his left hand, and instantly a raging fire rose from the sword, and a domineering and scorching aura spread out.

In an instant, half of the sky was illuminated red by the flames.

Under the reflection of the skylight, the Chiyang Sword at this moment seemed to have an indescribable power, majesty, and vastness, as if it contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Obviously, this was the result of Zhong Liye's sudden realization just now.

With the blessing of this indescribable power, the aura of the red sun true fire burning on the sword became more and more intense, as if it could burn everything.

The Chiyang Sword was also shaking with excitement. It couldn't help laughing strangely in its heart, and it felt that the entire sword was full of power, as if it was invincible in the world.

The sword technique changed, and the Chiyang sword shot out in an instant, slashing down with one strike.

In an instant.

The blood energy around the blood shadow melted quickly like snow encountering the scorching sun, and disappeared in just a short moment.

The storage treasure chest wrapped in blood-colored energy also lost control and flew away.

"Wow!"

The Golden-Winged Crane, which had already spotted the opportunity, flapped its wings and flew, and with a whoosh it landed next to the treasure chest. Its huge steel claws firmly grasped the treasure chest and flew straight into the clouds.

"Ahhh~"

Xueying was shocked and angry, and subconsciously wanted to chase it, but he couldn't even touch the tail of the storage treasure chest. He could only watch the Golden-Winged Crane fly farther and farther away.

Without the storage treasure chest, he also lost the qualifications to negotiate.

Fear, panic, regret... chaotic emotions instantly filled his brain, and finally all turned into anger and hatred.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Zhong Li Ye, his eyes were red and fierce.

Blame him!

If he hadn't made a breakthrough at the last minute, I would have successfully escaped now! !
Blood Shadow flipped his hand, and a dagger emitting a cold aura appeared in his palm. At the same time, his body shook, and the whole person instantly turned into a bloody afterimage and rushed towards Zhong Li Ye.

Even if he dies, he will take this damn European Emperor with him to die together!

Unfortunately, it turned out that he overthought.

Zhongli Ye made sword gestures with his hands, controlling the Chiyang Sword to fight against him, as if he was using him as a whetstone, constantly digesting his understanding of the laws of the Fire Element.

The Golden-Winged Crane flew high into the clouds, handed the storage treasure chest to Chen Ningtai, and then returned to the battlefield.

A full quarter of an hour later.

Zhongli Ye thoroughly digested the gains from this sudden enlightenment, truly reaching the realm of the true meaning of the fire element, and touched a trace of the laws of the great way.

This doubled the power of his fire magic, and even the Red Sun True Fire became more agile, powerful and domineering.

At this time, the Golden-Winged Crane joined the battlefield.

With one man and one crane working together.

It only took a moment.

Blood Shadow, who had failed to escape from the battle several times, was beaten to death by Zhong Li Ye and Jin Yu Ling He in a very aggrieved manner.

After collecting the spoils and head from his body, Zhongli Ye burned all his flesh, blood and remaining soul.

It was not until this time that Chen Ningtai and Wang Qianqian, who did not want to be a burden and hid in the clouds, flew down carrying a storage treasure chest.

Leaning forward, Chen Ningtai's expression was extremely excited, and he muttered, "Thanks to my father's spirit in heaven, for blessing Senior Chiye to realize the laws of the great way and make great progress in strength."

What the hell?

Zhong Liye looked at him in surprise, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

What does the great principles that I suddenly realized have to do with my senior brother Xuan Mo?

Chen Ningtai seemed to have sensed his thoughts and explained seriously, "Senior Chiye, let's ask ourselves, whether it's your cultivation, age, experience, spiritual root qualifications, or accumulated combat experience, which aspect can support you to realize the true meaning and touch the threshold of the great way law at this stage?"

"Uh……"

Zhong Li Ye was stunned.

This... seems to be not the case.

Even if he is a genius with the second spiritual root, if he wants to achieve the true meaning of the fire element at his level, he can only do so by sudden enlightenment due to chance.

But what does this have to do with Senior Brother Xuan Mo?
Could it be that I, Zhongli Ye, am just incredibly lucky?
"Haha~" Chen Ningtai seemed to see through his thoughts and chuckled, "Senior Chiye, think carefully again, before you had the epiphany just now, did you feel a subtle sense of innocence for a moment, and then suddenly entered the state of epiphany!?"

Zhong Liye's body trembled slightly, and he nodded slightly: "That's indeed the case. At that time, I suddenly had some subtle feeling, as if something happened in the dark, but I couldn't tell what it was."

"That's right. This is my father's spirit in heaven blessing you, senior." Chen Ningtai said seriously, "You should have noticed that our family is very lucky now. Look at me, I have achieved the minor success of the Gold Element True Meaning at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Period. Look at our children, Chen Shiyun, Chen Xinlei..."

"I heard that this is because Senior Brother Xuan Mo comes from the Tianyuan royal family and has a deep foundation in his blood, which has led to a phenomenon of atavism... Secondly, Chen Jingyun is lucky to have married a woman with three spiritual roots." Zhongli Ye argued weakly.

May the spirit of Senior Brother Xuan Mo in heaven bless me. This really sounds too incredible.

"Senior, if it weren't for the blessing of my father's spirit in heaven, how could our Jingyun be so lucky as to marry someone with three spiritual roots?" Chen Ningtai said seriously and devoutly.

"Ah this..."

Zhongli Ye was surprised, but finally he seemed to understand something and became somewhat skeptical.

Could it really be that my senior brother Xuan Mo’s spirit in heaven is blessing me?

But this is really not the way to cultivate immortality...

Every family worships their ancestors, but I have never heard of any ancestor who has nothing to do all day to protect his descendants.

Chen Ningtai continued to deceive: "By the way, Senior Chiye, think back to when you broke through the golden elixir, did you also have a state of enlightenment? It seems that there was a mysterious change in the dark?"

"This...how did you know?" Zhong Liye's pupils trembled.

"This must be because my father has been silently protecting you and helping you advance to the Golden Core Stage." Chen Ningtai said as if it was a matter of course, and then bewitched, "Senior Chiye, when you worship your ancestors in the future, please pay homage to my father more often. My father will definitely protect you well."

Although Zhong Liye was still skeptical, he nodded and said, "As long as it's nothing serious, I will try my best to pay tribute to Senior Brother Xuan Mo."

He has been there many times, so he doesn't feel any psychological burden to go there a few more times.

Just saying.

Suddenly.

A slightly teasing voice sounded not far away.

"Chen Ningtai, I didn't expect you to be so good at fooling people. You really spared no effort to win over Zhong Liye and increase his sense of family identity with your Chen family~"

"By the way, I wonder if I can receive the blessing of your ancestor Xuan Mo's spirit if I go to pay homage to him?"

Several people were startled and quickly turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a majestic old man in a purple robe who appeared there at some point.

He didn't know how long he had been standing there or how much he had heard. When he saw everyone looking over there, he smiled at them with interest. He looked kind and gentle, with the demeanor of an elder.

It turned out to be Master Ziyin!

Zhong Liye, Chen Ninghe, Wang Qianqian and others were so frightened that their bodies froze.

This, this, this... Didn't Master Ziyin go after the Blood Guardian Youyue? Why is he here? ! !

"Old ghost Ziyin? You, you..."

Chen Ningtai was also startled, and the name his father often used at home came out of his mouth immediately.

However, before he could finish his words, his expression froze and his whole body seemed petrified, not daring to move at all.

Old ghost Ziyin?

Master Ziyin’s face turned dark.

This damn Chen family not only steals girls from the Yunyang Sect all day long, but also dares to frame me behind my back.

Judging from how skillfully Chen Ningtai blurted it out, the Chen family must have called him "Old Ghost Ziyin" many times in private.

Especially this Chen Ningtai, relying on his handsome face, he hooked up with the girl Taiyue. This time he even specifically asked Taiyue to come and participate in the operation. Fortunately, he stopped him by saying that Taiyue was busy with tasks.

Humph, Ziyin has been unhappy with Chen Ningtai for a long time.

First meeting today.

This guy is indeed a pretty good flirter. He not only flirts with Taiyue, but also with the fairies in Wanhua Palace. Now he is flirting with Zhongli Ye.

Ha ha.

This is the reincarnation of the love saint~~
