As the Universe Turns - Chapter 341
Chapter 341 Elder Ten Fire
“You …”
The black-clothed man was suffocated to the point that he was speechless. Xiao Chen’s gaze, like that of a god of death, stared at him, making his hair stand on end, as if he had fallen into an ice abyss.
“Tell me, who are you and why are you following me …”
Xiao Chen walked closer again. The black-clothed man looked at him. For some reason, he was terrified a moment ago. At this moment, he suddenly seemed to know that he couldn’t escape death. He said coldly, “Liao Wuchen, you killed our sect’s Chi Lianzi. The Ten Fire Elder has already rushed over. Even the heavens and earth can’t escape …”
“Oh …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold. He was indeed a member of the Life and Death Alliance. He didn’t expect to find him so quickly. He said coldly, “How many of you have come this time?”
“Hmph …”
The black-clothed man sneered at him and remained silent.
“Forget it, there’s no need for you to say it.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. He raised his palm and covered his head. His divine sense immediately invaded the top layer of his mind. It turned out that the Life and Death Alliance was not an independent existence. Instead, it was composed of several sects. In the entire Earth-level Cultivation Domain, there were at least a hundred sects that belonged to the Life and Death Alliance.
There was a sect of the Life and Death Alliance in Yun Nation called “Devil Flame Religion.” The Chi Lianzi he had killed earlier was a person from Devil Flame Religion. He had 400 years of cultivation and was only a follower of Devil Flame Religion at the early Nascent Soul stage. There are ten great elders in Devil Flame Religion, known as the “Ten Fire Elders”, who are only inferior to the sect master …
Even though he had a keen spiritual sense, the amount of primordial memories he had consumed by forcefully probing others was not small, and he could only detect these vague memories.
“Uh …”
The black-clothed man let out a muffled snort, and his face instantly turned a lot paler, as if he had walked out of a ghost gate.
After Xiao Chen withdrew his divine sense, he suddenly pulled out a flying sword from his sleeve. However, before he could release the flying sword, his pupils gradually dilated. With a “putong” sound, his eyes fell to the ground, and he no longer had any aura of life. He died extremely strangely.
Right now, Xiao Chen could control his life and death with his will. Anyone below the Nascent Soul realm would be courting death if they had any killing intent towards him.
After destroying this person’s corpse and leaving the alley, Xiao Chen left the city eastward. The reason he was in such a hurry was because he could feel that the Ten Fire Elder of Devil Flame Religion was getting closer and closer to him.
Among the more than a hundred sects in the Life and Death Alliance, Devil Flame Religion was not considered big, but it was not small. Moreover, Elder Ten Fire’s cultivation was only second to the sect master. This time, he actually sent out all of them to chase after him. Could it be that he had killed an early Nascent Soul stage Scarlet Lianzi just because of him? Devil Flame Religion wanted to avenge Chi Lianzi?
That’s impossible. The real reason why Chi Lianzi came this time was obviously because Chi Lianzi saw something in his sleeve, such as blood jade, hexagonal stone plate, Fuxi zither, and before he died, Chi Lianzi lit up the Life and Death Chase Talisman with resentment. Thus, the sect master of Devil Flame Religion also knew that he possessed a strange treasure.
Any of these things could set off a storm in the Immortal Origin Five Regions, let alone this even more mysterious Ancient Oriental Cultivation World?
Therefore, it was clear that Devil Flame Religion had sent out the Ten Fire Elders not only to obtain the treasures on him, but also to hide his selfishness. He was worried that the other sects of the Life and Death Alliance would discover him, and he was even more worried that the other Alliance Leaders would discover that he possessed the treasures. That was why he had sent out the ten Elders at once to hunt down Devil Flame Religion with all his might. He had to bring the treasures back quietly.
And for this reason, The current Xiao Chen was no longer the Xuanqing Sect disciples of the past, Naturally, it made sense to think about it. So now that he was out of the city, he quickly headed east. According to the map, he was heading east in the direction of Yunzhou City, the capital. No matter how unscrupulous the members of the Life and Death Alliance were, they would not dare to pursue him in the capital. Once his cultivation broke through another realm, they would not fear the pursuit of the Life and Death Alliance.
He didn’t know what Elder Ten Fire’s cultivation was, but he knew his current strength. He had just comprehended the first level of the Undying Concept. If it was just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to control his life and death to kill him.
However, if the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, or even at the Void Refinement Realm, and his cultivation had reached the Void Refinement Realm, then unless he could comprehend the second level of the Undying Concept and bring his cultivation close to the Void Refinement Realm, it would be impossible for him to deal with ten such experts.
By the time twilight fell, Xiao Chen had already traveled an unknown distance to a mountain forest. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a trace of cold killing intent approaching. His heart immediately condensed and he stopped.
Unexpectedly, the Ten Fire Elders of Devil Flame Religion caught up so quickly. As expected, the other party was extremely familiar with the terrain of Yun Nation. However, he could only rely on a blurry map, which was obviously extremely disadvantageous.
“Since you’re here, why don’t the ten elders of Devil Flame Religion show up?”
Xiao Chen’s tone was cold. As he spoke, the Genuine energy in his body had already started to secretly circulate. This was not the way to continue. He wanted to see what cultivation level the other ten had before he could come up with a complete plan.
Killing intent approached. Ten more figures appeared in the forest. The cultivation of these ten people was far beyond that of Chi Lianzi. With Xiao Chen’s current keen divine sense, he could clearly sense that seven of them had already reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm. They were only one step away from being able to conform to the Dao.
As for the other three, even he was unable to see through them for a while. Could it be that they had already reached the Void Dao Harmonization Realm?
As he thought this, cold sweat couldn’t help but form on Xiao Chen’s back. These people’s cultivation levels weren’t low, especially those three that he couldn’t see through. They were real cultivations, and they were definitely not comparable to Liu Xuanyang, the Second Valley Master of the Hidden Edge Valley, who was “fake in refining the Void Dao”.
“Little friend killed our sect member Chi Lianzi a month ago. Today, there is no need to flee anymore. Follow us back to avoid suffering from soul torment.”
Out of the ten people, an old man dressed in green stood out. The old man was holding a whisk in his hand. He looked like a fairy. If he was in the Immortal Origin Five Regions, he would definitely make people feel that he was an extremely upright senior of the Xuanmen Sect. But who would have thought that he was a murderous evil cultivator?
This person was Xuan Yunzi, the leader of the Ten Fire Elders of Devil Flame Religion. As early as a hundred years ago, his cultivation had already broken through the five hundred year limit and he had reached the Void Refining Dao Combination Realm in one go. Even though he was still unable to comprehend the Heavenly Dao Concept after thousands of attempts, so he was unable to reach the Profound Comprehension Realm and could not be compared to those Profound Realm experts. However, his Dao Cultivation didn’t have the slightest bit of moisture. It could be said that he could kill a fake Void Refining Dao Combination Realm expert like Liu Xuanymore with one palm.
“A wise man doesn’t say anything secretly. If it’s only for one Scarlet Lianzi, why bother the ten elders to personally send him? I think it’s for the sake of those things that I have with me, right?”
While Xiao Chen was on guard, he spoke out the other party’s true intentions frankly.
Xuan Yunzi narrowed his eyes. He thought to himself that if this junior was able to kill Chi Lianzi in one blow, he would definitely have at least a cultivation at the late stage of the Void Refining Realm. With his cultivation at the Void Refining Dao Combining Realm, killing such a shallow cultivation was a piece of cake.
However, he did not make a move because he was somewhat afraid of the few mysterious magic treasures on the other party. Perhaps Chi Lianzi had died under those magic treasures. If this person fought to the death and destroyed these treasures, then the gains would not be worth the losses. When the three of them returned, they would definitely be punished.
