Chapter 396: It Was Him!
“Where is this place?”
Qing Mu also felt that something was wrong. The joy on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by worry and panic.
Chen Chen made a gesture for them to keep quiet and then used his divine senses to scan the barren mountain below. However, he found nothing.
There seemed to be a faint barrier on the barren mountain that blocked all divine senses.
“Grandmaster, this should be the Cave Abode of some itinerant cultivator. Of course, it could also be the stronghold of a cultivator from a sect.”
Chen Chen transmitted using his divine senses.
Just as he finished transmitting his voice, a figure flew out of the mountain and quickly appeared in front of Chen Chen and Qing Mu.
This cultivator wore a white robe and a long crown. He looked like a human, but his skin was frighteningly fair and faintly translucent. If he stuck out his tongue, he would be exactly the same as the legendary White Impermanence.
Seeing the two uninvited guests, the cultivator’s expression was ice-cold, looking extremely aloof and withdrawn.
“Who are you people? You are not welcome here. If there is nothing else, quickly leave this place.”
After hearing this, Chen Chen said calmly, “I don’t know if you have seen a female cultivator. She is very old and may be injured. She has the cultivation of the Spirit Severing stage.”
Hearing this question, the long-crowned cultivator’s pupils contracted slightly. Then, his tone became a lot more mellow.
“Female cultivator? I’ve never seen any. I don’t even have wild beasts here, let alone female cultivators.”
Hearing this explanation, Qing Mu’s eyes were filled with some disappointment.
Chen Chen’s smile became brighter. He asked faintly, “What cultivation technique do you practice? Where do you come from?”
“What does this have to do with you? Let me tell you, I am a subordinate of the Second Demon Venerable of the Crimson Fiend sect. If you want to have any devious thoughts, you’d better consider your own strength first!”
The cultivator suddenly flew into a rage with a trace of redness on his pale face.
Although these words sounded tough, Chen Chen could see a trace of panic in his eyes.
Qing Mu, who was at the side, was even more furious at the mention of the Second Demon Venerable. Rivals really do meet each other.
It would have been fine if this person did not mention the Second Demon Venerable, but now that he mentioned it, he was already eager to give it a try.
“Second Demon Venerable…”
Chen Chen nodded slightly. In the next second, he suddenly attacked.
The cultivator opposite him actually counterattacked at almost the same time. It seemed that he had long planned it.
“Spirit Severing stage cultivator!” Chen Chen exclaimed, suddenly attacking the other party’s sea of consciousness with his divine senses of the intermediate level of the Spirit Severing stage.
Unexpectedly, not only did this long-crowned cultivator not have divine senses to protect his dharma treasure, but his divine senses were also very ordinary. After being struck by Chen Chen’s divine senses, he shrieked in pain and blood kept oozing out of his mouth and nose.
“He has just entered the Spirit Severing stage. He’s really too weak.”
Chen Chen snorted in disdain. He used the technique of Ten Thousand Soldiers to control nine dharma treasures and completely seal off the surroundings of the cultivator. In almost a moment, the cultivator was captured alive.
Both of them had just entered the Spirit Severing stage, but he was much stronger than that cultivator. The two were not on the same level at all.
Not only was the cultivator, Chang Guan’s divine senses not strong, even his cultivation base was very weak. After being attacked by Chen Chen, he actually directly fell back to the peak of the Void Refinement realm.
“I really haven’t seen any female cultivators. If you really touch me, the Second Demon Venerable won’t let you off!”
“Let me tell you, I’m the illegitimate son of the Second Demon Venerable. You’d better let me go!”
Cultivator Chang Guan kept babbling, and the more he spoke, the more panicked he became.
Chen Chen ignored these threats and said indifferently, “Whether you’ve seen it or not, we’ll find out when we go down and take a look.”
After saying that, he brought Qing Mu and Chang Guan directly into the mountain.
Seeing Chen Chen directly flying in a certain direction, Chang Guan’s initial hope immediately disappeared, and his eyes gradually became filled with despair.
Chen Chen glanced at him and punched a certain mountain, revealing a huge secret chamber hidden in the mountain.
The secret chamber was filled with ghostly and evil energy. One look and one could tell that it was a place for practicing evil cultivation techniques.
Chen Chen closed his eyes and sensed carefully. He quickly walked in a certain direction. A moment later, he saw an array formation.
The scale of the array formation was not large, but it was extremely complicated. In the middle of the array formation, there was a weak essence soul floating quietly.
The surrounding array formations were constantly extracting the soul power of the essence soul and transferring it to a certain place.
That essence soul was naturally Fairy Wu Nian. She was in a much more miserable state than that of his grandmaster. After all, she had lost her physical body.
The remaining essence soul was also tortured until it was no longer human. It was almost at the end of its life. Even if it was salvaged, its cultivation would probably regress.
“Master!”
Qing Mu subconsciously cried out in surprise and rushed toward the array formation, quickly saving the essence soul of Fairy Wu Nian.
Chen Chen looked at the Chang Guan and then at the location where the soul power led to a certain futon. He said coldly, “Is this how you cultivate?”
“I… I…” Chang Guan stuttered, his face full of panic.
Chen Chen asked again, “How did you catch Fairy Wu Nian? Is that second Demon Venerable really related to you?”
“Second Demon Venerable is my father! He really is my father! As for this female cultivator, I accidentally picked her up when I went out!” Chang Guan hurriedly said, trying to leverage on the reputation of the Second Demon Venerable to survive. However, he didn’t know that the two people in front of him had a grudge against the Second Demon Venerable.
“It’s your father? In that case, you don’t have to live anymore.”
Chen Chen muttered. Then, as Chang Guan watched in horror, he suddenly activated his spiritual energy. With a bang, Chang Guang was directly smashed into bits. Even his essence soul was completely destroyed at that moment.
After Chen Chen destroyed Chang Guan, he said with a serious expression, “Grandmaster, we have found him. It’s not good to stay here for long.”
“Mm…”
Qing Mu answered sorrowfully and followed behind Chen Chen Chen with the weakened essence soul of Fairy Wu Nian.
…
At the same time, in the Peach Blossom Sect, the Second Demon Venerable suddenly frowned and took out a communication token from his pocket.
Without waiting for him to send the message, the communication token suddenly shattered with a bang.
This made his originally ugly face even more gloomy.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a mirror and waved his hand.
Soon, an image appeared in the mirror.
In the image, Chen Chen suddenly used his strength to kill Chang Guan. Other than that, the situation and the array formation in the secret room were also seen by the Second Demon Venerable.
“This little bastard actually secretly cultivated an evil cultivation technique. He really brought this upon himself!”
After cursing in a low voice, a bright light suddenly flashed in Second Demon Venerable’s eyes.
“It’s that… alchemist named Qing Mu.”
He naturally had an impression of Qing Mu, the person he had personally captured.
However, what really caught his attention wasn’t Qing Mu, but the young cultivator next to Qing Mu.
That young cultivator had the cultivation of the early stage of the Spirit Severing stage, but the combat strength he displayed was quite extraordinary. It could be said that it was a piece of cake for him to kill his son, who was also at the early stage of the Spirit Severing stage.
These conditions were exactly the same as the mysterious cultivator who killed the Peach Blossom Sect’s sect master.
“Could it be that the mysterious cultivator is this person?” Second Demon Venerable muttered to himself. He actually didn’t care very much about the death of a son. What he cared more about was the lost Linglong Divine Gold.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the Peach Blossom Sect’s photographic stone from his storage ring and began to carefully observe the facial expressions of everyone inside.
In the end, his efforts paid off, and he soon realized that something was wrong.
When the mysterious person in the picture was transcending the tribulation, Qing Mu seemed to be far more worried than the others.
This was clearly not right!
“It’s him! It’s him! It’s definitely him!”
Second Demon Venerable suddenly came to a realization and slammed the table as he shouted. The glee in his eyes was on the verge of emerging. As for his dead son, he had already completely forgotten about him.
