Chapter 145: I'll Go Kill Someone, We'll Talk Later
Chapter 145: I'll Go Kill Someone, We'll Talk Later
Cloud Mansion.
The gathering of Celestial Prodigies was in full swing, with rare delicacies and fine wines flowing as they toasted and celebrated.
Huang Tu stood tall among the crowd, brimming with confidence.
Xu Tongchen stood by his side, holding a wine cup, but his mind was unsettled.
He was still pondering the strange sensation he had felt that day.
The Solar Flame was his greatest stroke of luck and his greatest reliance.
With the Solar Flame, he could have entered the top ten of the Dongtu Talents Ranking, but to hide his true strength and not overshadow Huang Tu, he chose to rank just behind him.
The Solar Flame was incredibly powerful, and he was most sensitive to treasures related to the sun.
But when he saw that man, he felt as if the man were a scorching great sun.
The Solar Flame within his body kept leaping, as if it had seen his father.
"Huang Tu's cultivation has become even more profound. In this Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament, he has a good chance of entering the top fifteen, maybe even the top ten," someone at the banquet praised Huang Tu.
Huang Tu accepted the flattery with an arrogant expression.
At this moment, another person spoke up, "It's a pity that if Xu Tongchen's Solar Flame were understood by Huang Tu, he might have ranked among the top three in the Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Ranking!"
Xu Tongchen's face slightly changed upon hearing this.
The speaker was Zheng Fangxing, ranked 700th on the Dongtu Talents Ranking.
His sect had a long-standing grudge with the Seven Word Sect.
Yet, he was openly provoking and driving a wedge between them.
Even so, the haughty Huang Tu couldn't be bothered to hide his true feelings. He glanced at Xu Tongchen and said, "Indeed, it's a pity."
Xu Tongchen felt stifled and angry, but he couldn't retaliate. He could only smile awkwardly.
The Bright Palace's domineering nature was ingrained in their bones, and they acted without restraint.
Zheng Fangxing continued, "This time, at the Divine Flower Society, that Blood Robe Sword God kept provoking the Bright Palace.
My master, Mo Ku, has long been disgusted with the Blood Robe Sword God's behavior. He has already gone to the Bright King Mansion, where Elder Qian Yuan is located, to jointly confront the Blood Robe Sword God.
However, some people, being in the Green Cloud Continent, should stand united with them, but they can't join forces with the Green Cloud Continent against that Blood Robe Sword God. Their relationship is ambiguous."
Zheng Fangxing was almost directly pointing at the Seven Word Sect.
A few days ago, Elder Qian Yuan had challenged the Blood Robe Sword God.
The Bright Palace's stronghold and the nearby Purple Mansion of the Bright King Mansion had received the news and were going to watch the battle.
Of course, they were going to cheer, not just watch.
Zheng Fangxing's master, Mo Ku, had received the news and had left early.
Xu Tongchen's master, Xu Yeliji, had made an excuse not to go.
"Some people are probably too scared to fight the Blood Robe Sword God," Zheng Fangxing kept goading.
"Hmph! A cultivator from the Hundred Nations has the audacity to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm, and he dares to provoke the Bright Palace. He's asking for death!"
"Elder Qian Yuan has set up a formation in the Bright King Mansion. I estimate that the Blood Robe Sword God wouldn't dare to go, and he's hiding in the Hundred Nations!"
The young Celestial Prodigies in the palace were lavishly praising the Bright Palace.
They spoke sarcastically about the Blood Robe Sword God.
In their sect, there were likely Purple Mansion cultivators, and many were even veteran ones.
But in front of the Bright Palace, they could only act as dogs.
As a result, the Blood Robe Sword God's provocation of the Bright Palace was a death wish.
"After the Celestial Prodigy Tournament ends, we'll probably receive news of the Blood Robe Sword God's execution," said a young cultivator.
Huang Tu nodded as he listened, "The Blood Robe Sword God is not to be feared. He can only be dealt with using some dirty tricks."
For the past two days, the recording jade slip of a Divine Infant Elder from the Bright Palace being punished by Celestial Punishment had been spreading.
In the cultivation world, many secretly opposed the Bright Palace.
After all, the Bright Palace's domineering nature had long angered many low-level cultivators.
But despite the opposition, it couldn't hurt the Bright Palace's core.
After all, the Bright Palace had dozens of Purple Mansion cultivators and even an incomplete Dark Deity Artifact, which meant that even if low-level cultivators united, they couldn't shake the Bright Palace's position.
The Celestial Prodigies at the banquet were of noble birth, and almost none of them paid attention to the voices of the low-level cultivators.
The banquet continued with high spirits, and as Zheng Fangxing secretly provoked, almost everyone intentionally or unintentionally snubbed Xu Tongchen.
Xu Tongchen sat alone in a corner, drinking alone, and he thought of the man he had seen that day.
He had secretly sent someone to investigate.
He estimated that he would receive news soon.
...
In the cave abode, Qi Yuan continued to absorb the cultivation techniques his junior sister had obtained from Jiang Ya.
Unfortunately, his progress was slow.
Qi Yuan rubbed his forehead and looked at Xiao Jia, who was sleeping on the table next to him, with a gentle look in his eyes.
"I estimate that the fermentation is almost done. I'll go to the Bright King Mansion to see my heart-stirring White Moonlight soon," Qi Yuan thought.
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from outside the cave abode.
It was similar to a doorbell on Blue Star.
Qi Yuan looked through the formation and saw a young man.
The cave abode door opened, and Qi Yuan looked at the young man, saying calmly, "What brings you here?"
"I am Xu Tongchen from the Seven Word Sect. I saw you three days ago.
I'm here unannounced, please don't blame me." Xu Tongchen's posture was very humble.
He wanted to understand why the Solar Flame was acting strangely.
Now, the closer he got to this person, the more unusual the Solar Flame's behavior became.
His entire body started to heat up, and his gaze at Qi Yuan became involuntarily fervent.
Qi Yuan frowned, "Speak your mind."
"When I condensed my Golden Core, I was fortunate enough to gather some Solar Flame..."
"Solar Flame?" Qi Yuan was surprised.
This was a valuable treasure.
A Golden Core cultivator with the Solar Flame could resist the Divine Infant's abilities with it.
Indeed, a big city is a big city. By chance, meeting a Golden Core cultivator, he could reverse-kill a Divine Infant.
"When I saw you, my Solar Flame kept leaping, as if..." Xu Tongchen couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence.
Qi Yuan looked at Xu Tongchen after hearing this.
[This is an ordinary cultivator. After gathering the Solar Flame, he became a bit extraordinary.
The Solar Flame treats you like a father.]
"Is that all?" Qi Yuan looked at the sky, "I'm busy now. I'm going to kill someone, and we'll talk after I'm done."
After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Tongchen's reaction and disappeared.
Only a bewildered Xu Tongchen was left behind.
"Fellow Daoist..."
He wanted to stop Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan's figure had already disappeared.
He was in a dilemma, but in the end, he decided to wait here a little longer.
Unsure of the reason, his heart felt like ants were crawling inside.
An hour later.
In the sky, a figure clad in a blood-red robe appeared, moving swiftly like a blood rainbow.
From time to time, a loud voice resounded from above.
"The Bright King Mansion has committed countless evil deeds and will face Celestial Punishment!"
"I, the Blood Robe Sword God, will stand up for all the injustices in the world and vow to exterminate the Bright King Mansion!"
The voice was grand, echoing throughout the world.
Countless cultivators looked up at the sky.
Unfortunately, the blood rainbow was too fast, and they couldn't see it at all.
They could only hear that refreshing roar.
Some were excited, some were anxious, and some were helpless.
Qi Yuan quickly flew towards the Bright King Mansion, his speed incredibly fast, as if he was rushing to meet a lover.
But this time, he wasn't meeting a lover; it was the White Moonlight.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice transmitted over: "Blood Robe Sword God, please wait."
Qi Yuan looked at the Purple Mansion cultivator shrouded in a black robe, sensing no hostility or murderous intent from him.
"Blood Robe Sword God, the Bright King Mansion has set up an ambush in the Bright King Mansion, with not only three Purple Mansion cultivators but also two nearby Purple Mansion cultivators joining in."
Elder Qian Yuan was a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, and he possessed a treasure bestowed upon him by the Grand Palace Master.
If you go this time, you will have no chance of survival. It's better to... retreat. With so many Purple Mansion cultivators, it's better to disturb their Divine Infant Attendants instead!" The black-robed cultivator spoke quickly, his tone laced with worry.
Qi Yuan glanced at the black-robed cultivator, "So, do you have a grudge against the Bright King Mansion?"
The black-robed cultivator paused, his eyes turning desolate.
The black-robed cultivator was none other than Xu Yeli.
Recently, Qian Yuan forced his disciple to serve Huang Tu.
But that's not all.
Later, he received news that the Grand Palace Master of the Bright King Mansion was heading to the Divine Flower Society, not only because of the Blood Robe Sword God's matter but also to borrow an ultimate treasure... the Divine Fire Cover.
After the Dongtu Talents Ranking ends, that Grand Palace Master will likely use this ultimate treasure to transfer the Solar Flame from Xu Tongchen's body to Huang Tu.
He knew that the Seven Word Sect had already faced its greatest crisis.
"I have a deep grudge!" Xu Yeli nodded vigorously, "It's better for you to form an alliance with me, and together we can pressure the Bright King Mansion, making them hesitate to act against my disciple, Xu Tongchen!"
Xu Yeli earnestly persuaded Qi Yuan.
Regarding the Blood Robe Sword God, a fellow cultivator, he still held him in high regard. If the two of them joined forces, they could create a significant crisis for the Bright King Mansion!
Perhaps the Bright King Mansion would also become wary and not take action against his disciple, Xu Tongchen.
Qi Yuan looked at Xu Yeli, deep in thought, "Cooperation... is indeed possible."
"Really?" Xu Yeli was a bit excited. Although it was like using an egg to hit a rock compared to the Bright King Mansion, it was still better than fighting alone.
"This time, when I go to the Bright King Mansion, I just need a... trumpeter."
I'll have you play music by my side as I fight. It'll be more interesting that way." Qi Yuan spoke calmly.
He was a bit interested in the Windflow Realm's orchestra.
"..." Xu Yeli was completely dumbfounded.
He understood every word of the Blood Robe Sword God, but why did it sound so bizarre?
Kill?
Play music?
What was this all about?
"You're still going to the Bright King Mansion?" Xu Yeli asked.
"Of course. I have righteousness on my side, and heaven's mandate is with me.
Now, I am like the great magician Liu Xiu. They are seeking death by going against me!" Qi Yuan said confidently.
Xu Yeli was speechless.
He felt that communicating with this Purple Mansion cultivator was quite challenging.
It's like... he had some issues with his head.
"Sigh, geniuses are indeed lonely," Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "But time will prove everything.
How about this? If I sweep away the Bright King Mansion today, then from now on, every time I go against the Bright King Mansion, you'll be behind me playing music?"
Although one Purple Mansion cultivator playing music is not as good as three hundred or three thousand.
But the situation is special, right? Xu Yeli remained silent, unsure of what to say.
He was here to tell Qi Yuan that the Bright King Mansion was dangerous, and he shouldn't go.
How did it turn into a bet... to play music for him?
He looked at the Blood Robe Sword God, gritting his teeth, "If you can get rid of Qian Yuan, I'll play music for you!"
Qi Yuan glanced at Xu Yeli, a smile appearing on his face, "Remember to wait for my good news."
Qi Yuan's figure disappeared.
Xu Yeli, clad in a black robe, remained silent for a long time.
"Either... he's a madman, or... he has some backing."
But he couldn't understand what that backing could be.
The Bright King Mansion had launched the Hundred Nations Blood Battle, and it seemed like those big figures had given their tacit approval.
...
The Bright King Mansion was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Dark clouds covered the sky for thousands of miles, and the wind and rain were about to arrive.
Qian Yuan looked at the scene in the jade slip, his eyes turning solemn, "Thunderbolt from Heaven..."
Every Thunderbolt from Heaven was related to prohibitions.
Now, with the Thunderbolt from Heaven falling to the ground, the Divine Infant was about to fall.
The scene was particularly shocking.
"There must be a secret within this Seven Desires Demon Lord!" The old man with red beard's eyes flashed with sharpness.
"Hehe, after the Blood Robe Sword God falls, I'll personally go to the Hundred Nations and see what the secret is!" Black Rope spoke, as if he had already claimed ownership of the secret.
"These people from the Divine Flower Society are truly despicable. Many of them are secretly supporting that Blood Robe Sword God." Mo Ku spoke, and he also had a Divine Flower Society token.
"After killing the Blood Robe Sword God, I'll also trouble Mo Ku to announce this matter in the Divine Flower Society's discussion area, clearing the Bright King Mansion's name." Elder Qian Yuan said calmly.
He didn't care about the opinions of ordinary members of the Divine Flower Society.
What mattered was the opinion of the Eastern Land's Divine Flower Society leader.
The Grand Palace Master had already gone to pay his respects, and the matter was about to be resolved.
"To cultivate to this level and still be so unwise, this Blood Robe Sword God..." A Purple Mansion Powerhouse sighed.
"Hmph, Xu Yeli has lived for thousands of years, and he's also unwise." Mo Ku spoke up, "The Bright King Mansion has treated him with kindness as heavy as a mountain. Yet, when some issues arose in the Bright King Mansion, he chose not to show up, which is truly despicable."
Qian Yuan's eyes darkened as he heard Xu Yeli's name, a deep look flashing across his face, "Xu Yeli... has been living too carefree."
Master Mo Ku, upon hearing this, felt a glimmer of joy in his heart.
This was the result he had hoped for.
Just then, the five Purple Mansion experts present suddenly looked up at the sky.
A scorching blood rainbow was flying towards the Bright King Mansion.
An intensely terrifying aura filled the air, and after just a glance at the blood rainbow, everyone felt their minds waver.
"Blood Robe Sword God, he's really here!"
"He actually dares to come!"
The five Purple Mansion experts were all surprised but quickly calmed down.
With their numbers, would they fear a newly advanced Purple Mansion cultivator?
The blood-red rainbow stopped in the air, and a blood-red figure appeared, carrying a sword on his back and possessing extraordinary beauty.
A terrifying blood aura filled the air, and Qi Yuan spoke coldly, "Are we all here?"
Looking at the five Purple Mansion experts below, he felt a bit disappointed.
Why were there only five of them?
Too few.
Moreover, there wasn't even a late-stage Purple Mansion expert among them.
This batch of White Moonlights was of poor quality.
Qian Yuan looked at Qi Yuan, his voice booming, "Blood Robe Sword God, you do have some courage, and this old man is quite impressed.
If it weren't for your slander and provocations within the Divine Flower Society, I would even consider recruiting you as a palace guardian beast!"
"Your Bright King Mansion is quite the joke. At your age, you're still acting like a clown?" Qi Yuan's blood-red sword emitted a ringing sound, "Today, I come in the name of the Way of Heaven."
Since it was a challenge, they would unleash their full killing intent.
Why waste time with idle chatter?
The blood sword was drawn.
At that moment, Qi Yuan seemed to have emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The blood-red robe seemed to be dripping with blood, and his entire being was shrouded in a blood country.
The five Purple Mansion experts all showed a moment of astonishment.
The person before them didn't resemble a righteous cultivator at all; he was clearly a grandmaster of the demonic path!
With such a thick blood aura, claiming that he had killed tens of millions of lives, people would probably believe it.
He was acting on behalf of the Way of Heaven?
"Your actions are laughable. Today, my Bright King Mansion will eliminate you, a demon!"
Qian Yuan was at the mid-stage Purple Mansion, and aside from the three Palace Lords of the Bright King Mansion, he was among the top few in the entire Green Cloud Continent.
His strength gave him confidence.
The five Purple Mansion experts looked at Qi Yuan with a mix of apprehension and disdain.
At this moment, Qi Yuan held his sword, his blood-red robe fluttering, "In the past, with this sword, I slaughtered one thousand and seven hundred Purple Mansion experts. Today... I'll send you all on your way. It's a bargain for you."
Hearing this, the five Purple Mansion experts were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Crazy and insane, no wonder he dares to come to the Bright King Mansion!"
How could he kill a thousand Purple Mansion experts with one sword?
Even if it was a Dark Deity, they wouldn't claim to have slaughtered two thousand Purple Mansion experts.
Qi Yuan didn't speak further.
When dealing with White Moonlights, sweet talk was useless. He needed to crush them mercilessly and make them cry.
The Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon!
Qi Yuan's Primordial Divine Ability was unleashed at this moment.
The sun and moon were in chaos.
Their divine souls were in disarray.
Heart demons arose.
The five Purple Mansion experts, at that moment, completely changed their expressions.
Experts show their skills with a single move.
The previous arrogance and disdain completely vanished.
Only by facing the situation themselves did they realize the strength of their opponent.
"Inscription... Are you a late-stage Purple Mansion expert?" Qian Yuan's face turned solemn, mixed with fear.
An Inscription-level Primordial Divine Ability, a late-stage Purple Mansion expert... The Bright King Mansion only had three such experts, and they were the Palace Lords!
Blood Robe Sword God... was a late-stage Purple Mansion expert. They had never even considered this possibility.
It was already terrifying for the Hundred Nations to produce a single Purple Mansion expert, but now, a late-stage Purple Mansion expert?
Each late-stage Purple Mansion expert in the Eastern Land's Thirteen Continents was a well-known figure.
How did one suddenly appear out of nowhere?
He didn't understand, and he went insane, desperately resisting Qi Yuan's Primordial Divine Ability.
His Primordial Divine Ability, at this level, was fragile under the Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon.
Qi Yuan didn't bother dealing with a dead man.
The other red-bearded elder fell into madness.
He seemed to see a giant city where thousands of Purple Mansion experts gathered.
The man in the blood-red robe took a step forward, drew his sword, and trapped one thousand seven hundred Purple Mansion experts in a demonic realm, causing them to sink and perish.
"It's true... How is this possible!"
How could someone slaughter over a thousand Purple Mansion experts with one sword?
His mind shattered at that moment.
The other three Purple Mansion experts also had no ability to resist, and when Qi Yuan's Primordial Divine Ability was unleashed, they fell into madness.
Although they weren't Windflow Realm experts, Qi Yuan's Primordial Divine Ability was also of a high level, an Inscription-level one.
For Qi Yuan, these five Purple Mansion experts were indeed dispatched with a single sword.
Qi Yuan stood in the void, looking at the five Purple Mansion experts with disappointment, "You're dying too slowly, I'm in a hurry to leave."
After all, they weren't Windflow Realm experts, and even if they were affected by his Primordial Divine Ability, they wouldn't immediately succumb to heart demons and die.
At this moment, they were trapped in a state of sinking.
Thinking this, Qi Yuan's sword stabbed again.
He was like a weasel killing rats, one by one, solving these five Purple Mansion experts.
"Fortunately, they don't have Dominant Bodies, immune to control, otherwise, killing them would be quite troublesome."
Qi Yuan easily slaughtered the five Purple Mansion experts.
Qi Yuan felt that bullying weak opponents was indeed satisfying.
At this moment, all the Divine Infants in the Bright King Mansion were filled with endless fear, and their eyes showed their terror.
Qi Yuan's mouth curled into a smile, "Die."
He spoke softly.
Those Divine Infant experts fell into the Hell of No Salvation.
The Bright King Mansion instantly became a mess.
Qi Yuan stood atop the ruins of the Bright King Mansion, a smile on his lips.
"The five White Moonlights weren't too bad."
With a wave of his hand, he skillfully collected all the Storage Bags.
Then, he glanced at the fallen Divine Infants.
"Even if they aren't White Moonlights, they came from afar to deliver gifts."
"A light gift, but the sentiment is heavy."
"An Elder's gift, I dare not refuse."
Qi Yuan also collected those Storage Bags, like a dragon that loved collecting treasures.
Sorry, sorry, there's another chapter at 6 AM, don't wait.
