"Xian'er!" Ice-cold air instantly wrapped itself around Xiao Chen. Earlier, he couldn't detect any breath at all. Who managed to kidnap Xian'er so quietly and smoothly? He immediately thought of that mysterious person who had previously kidnapped Xian'er.
Currently, Murong Xian'er's breath had yet to dissipate. He shattered the window overlooking the west with his palm and unleashed Phoenix's Wings to chase after the kidnapper.
The Phoenix's Wings were about three meters long and looked as if they were lit up with raging flames. It was particularly conspicuous in the night sky. Residents who had yet to drift off to dreamland were stupefied after catching sight of this a blurry flame whizzing through the sky.
"Oh God! What's that, a person? I must be seeing things!"
The massive Xianyong City was divided into several districts. Following Murong Xian'er's breath, Xiao Chen flew westward for nearly 50 kilometers and arrived in the
Reacting as quick as lightning, Qin Shaoyang immediately chased after Xiao Chen and swiftly reappeared in front of the latter. Xiao Chen unleashed Cyan Dragon Roars at Qin Shaoyang without another word, prompting the latter to raise his palm to resist. Following a loud crashing sound, both retreated by three meters. The force of the collision also caused the weaker disciples around them to nearly lose their footing. Their two palm attacks were equally as powerful. Quite a few disciples were flabbergasted. Their First Brother had, after all, entered the Core Forming Realm a long time ago. Qin Shaoyang extended his arm after regaining his footing and said sternly, "This is the resting place of the elders of this sect. You cannot trespass any further!" Xiao Chen raised his head and saw the faint words "Pure Harmony Hall" appearing under the moonlight. He could detect a wisp of Xian'er's breath coming from within the hall. He stepped forward, sa
Right then, the Elder of the Pavilion of Swords who had kept quiet all this while spoke. He wore a dark green Taoist's robe and carried a red sword case on his back. He appeared grim and no-nonsense. He looked even more like a master than Fengxi. "Hmph! Youngster, don't underestimate us. If the truth is as you imagine it, wouldn't that make us savages?" He sounded angry. It seemed that he was annoyed by Xiao Chen's suspicion that they were using Murong Xian'er's blood to prolong their life. Xiao Chen knew he misunderstood them but he wasn't willing to concede. He wondered what they were being so mysterious about. What was that about some ancient scroll? "Sigh, my young friend. Let me tell you what's going on. Several months ago, I discovered one-half of a scroll in a certain remnant. What we can be sure of is that the scroll was something that two Immortal Kings fought over in ancient times. However, the script used in the scroll is too old.
The sense of melancholy only deepened as Xiao Chen traveled farther down the walled-in path. When he finally reached the exit, he found himself at an underground palace. The walls of the palace were decorated with objects that emanated a white radiance, preventing the place from sinking into pitch-black darkness. The palace was small, with a sarcophagus placed in the center. The sarcophagus seemed to be the source of the melancholy. Xiao Chen said dazedly, "Seniors, are the Immortal King's bones inside? May I take a look at it?" The four old men exchanged looks after hearing his request but said nothing. After seeing Fengxi nod, Xiao Chen walked to the sarcophagus by himself. Every step felt painfully slow and heavy at the same time. In the end, he steeled himself and carefully removed the lid of the sarcophagus. The moment he opened it, he felt the urge to sob and wail. A complete skeleton lay quietly inside the sarcophagus, giving off a fa
Liu Feiyan was the granddaughter of the Elder of the Pavilion of Swords. She was spoiled. Even Qin Shaoyang, the eldest Senior Brother, would give in to her. Xiao Chen could have said he wasn't interested in a sword duel with her, but he had simply walked away in front of so many people. How could she not be furious? She stamped her foot and yelled, "Stop right there! Did I say you can leave?" Xiao Chen continued to act as if he hadn't heard her. An infuriated Liu Feiyan stomped her feet forcefully and shrieked, "Take this, you coward!" She transformed into a green light and flew toward him. The onlookers yelped in surprise. The sword moved at such an incredible speed that it looked like Liu Feiyan was determined to stab Xiao Chen to death. The Elder of the Pavilion of Swords inwardly cried in alarm. Even though Feiyan was now a Core Forming Realm cultivator, she was no match for Xiao Chen. It was likely that she would suffer in his hands. His body blurre
The road was even, making their carriage journey a smooth one. The woods that lined the road were filled with animals like fawns. They weren't terrified by human beings' presence. Murong Xian'er was excited when she spotted a fawn that glowed in five colors. She pointed at it and exclaimed, "Look, Brother Xiao Chen! That fawn is so pretty!" Xiao Chen, who was laying on his chest on the window, chuckled. He had heard that there were frequent unnatural phenomena in Cangming State lately. Tens of thousands of auspicious lights would gleam at night at the Changyin Mountain Range outside the capital city of Canglan, drawing the frenzied attention of all the cultivators in the vicinity. In addition, people had been left guessing after learning that the Xianyong Sect had obtained half an ancient scroll and the skeleton of an Immortal King. They wondered if the unnatural phenomena were an indication of another Immortal King manifesting, if the formation left behi
Xiao Chen followed the two young men to the fourth floor, where music soon entered his ears. When he entered the room, exotic fragrance invaded his nostrils. He saw two zither players sitting near the wall. In between the players were seven dancers with alluring figures in the midst of a performance. In the center seat was a young man in golden brocade, with two breathtakingly beautiful dancers partially lying down on the couch as they pour him wine. The two gorgeous dancers put on seductive smiles when they saw Xiao Chen approach, unveiling their fair thighs. A strange glint crossed his pupils but he swiftly calmed himself. These two women possessed such strong enchanting powers. The two zither players were no ordinary people either; their cultivation was in the late-stage Foundation Building Realm. They had swords hidden under their zithers. "Why have you summoned me?" The young man in the golden brocade chuckled and said serenely, "There'
Both Xiao Chen and Zuoqiu Ze exhausted their True Energy in making sure they were flying at their top speed. Nearly an hour later, the fair weather abruptly darkened and a mountain range enveloped in dark clouds came into sight. Xiao Chen landed on the fringe of the mountain range to catch his breath. He put away the Phoenix's Wings on his back. When he turned around, he saw that Zuoqiu Ze had caught up to him. He chuckled and said, "You're pretty brave, aren't you? You dare to stand up to me alone until now." Zuoqiu Ze sneered. "Naturally, I've investigated you thoroughly before hunting you down. I know you possess a set of incredibly powerful Devilish Skills but every time you use them, you'll suffer great harm. More importantly, you'll be the one to die if you can't kill me within a certain period of time." He was, of course, right. It was true that Xiao Chen dared not rashly use the Immolation Spell of the Three Elements and Heaven's Tal
Zuoqiu Ze arrived at the same spot moments later, having traced Xiao Chen and Murong Xian'er. He scanned his surroundings but saw no one. He believed that they hadn't gone far but he was both parched and exhausted after chasing after them for half the day. Naturally, he was tempted after seeing the clear spring. Just as he was about to walk toward the shore, he became suspicious of traps. He laughed out loud and said, "I saw you, b*stard! Let's see where you'll run this time! Die!" Murong Xian'er jumped in fright. She was about to stand up when Xiao Chen immediately stopped her. He shook his head at her. Zuoqiu Ze perked up his ears to listen. When he heard no sound of movement, he laughed loudly again. "I caught you, little girl! Be obedient and come back with me to receive your lesson!" He got up to all sorts of antics on the shore by himself. Perhaps he was worn out by his one-man show and perhaps it was because he received no response at
