Chapter 620: Trembling

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Fu Xuanye flew back patiently. By now, he had traveled more than twenty miles away from the Primordial Sword Sect. At this distance, even a late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator would find it difficult to perceive him.

Furthermore, Fu Xuanye still had the Concealment Bell on him, making it even less likely for anyone to detect him.

However, Fu Xuanye did not accelerate, continuing at the same pace as before, steadily retreating. He planned to reach a position forty li away, ensuring complete safety.

Suddenly, a strange sensation gripped Fu Xuanye’s heart. Puzzled, he was about to inspect his surroundings when he felt a hand resting on the protective shield of the Concealment Bell.

Fu Xuanye’s eyes widened involuntarily. Who was it, and when did they appear behind him? He had failed to sense their presence at all.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Before Fu Xuanye could turn around, the protective shield of the Concealment Bell twisted under the unbearable pressure, and in the next moment, it shattered.

Fu Xuanye felt as though he had been struck hard, and blood spurted from his mouth uncontrollably.

Terrified, Fu Xuanye wondered who this person was and how they could be so powerful. Their aura was completely unfamiliar, and why would such a formidable individual be near the Primordial Sword Sect?

A series of doubts flooded Fu Xuanye’s mind. He attempted to flee forward, but a tremendous force descended upon his body, causing every inch of his flesh to cry out in agony.

In the next moment, darkness enveloped Fu Xuanye’s vision, and he lost consciousness from his severe injuries.

Floating in mid-air, Chen Fei emanated the aura of the Blood Refining Art, his right hand gripping Fu Xuanye’s neck.

Although Chen Fei had never seen Fu Xuanye before, recent information led him to guess Fu Xuanye’s identity—the Elder of the Thousand Yard Sect.

At this moment, Fu Xuanye had appeared near the Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Fei didn’t sense any killing intent from Fu Xuanye; most likely, he had come to probe the Primordial Sword Sect’s strength.

Perhaps he had spotted Wu Hongxin and the others and fled in fear.

“You may be spared the death penalty, but I’ll teach you a lesson.”

With a wave of his hand, Chen Fei tossed Fu Xuanye straight into the sea, while everything from Fu Xuanye’s Qiankun Bag had already found its way into Chen Fei’s own.

The Concealment Bell was also among the spoils taken by Chen Fei.

In the next moment, Chen Fei’s figure flickered, disappearing from the spot, flying toward the direction of Mount Tangnan.

Moments later, Fu Xuanye regained consciousness in the sea, realizing he was still alive. Surprise filled his eyes.

However, Fu Xuanye quickly realized that all his valuable belongings had vanished without a trace, including the Concealment Bell, which had been passed down through generations in the Thousand Yard Sect.

The joy of surviving the ordeal was instantly overshadowed, leaving Fu Xuanye standing somewhat dazed on the surface of the sea.

At this juncture, Fu Xuanye found it absurd that he still didn’t know who had injured him or who had robbed him of his possessions.

Everything was shrouded in mystery.

For a martial artist of his stature, in the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, this was an unimaginable situation, yet it had happened to Fu Xuanye today.

His face pale, Fu Xuanye glanced in the direction of the Primordial Sword Sect.

Although he didn’t know the specifics of who had harmed him, Fu Xuanye was certain that it was closely related to the Primordial Sword Sect, possibly even the work of someone within the sect.

But these were merely Fu Xuanye’s own speculations. He couldn’t confront anyone, and now, he dared not approach the Primordial Sword Sect.

Though he had lost his belongings, at least he hadn’t lost his life.

In that situation, with someone directly gripping his neck, Fu Xuanye had no resistance at all.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Xuanye’s figure flickered as he flew towards the direction of Yellow Stone City.

Forget about the third-level secret realm for now. Besides, Fu Xuanye wanted to move the Thousand Yard Sect away from the Sea Peak City. However, he feared that such a sudden relocation might provoke the Primordial Sword Sect.

On the surface, the Primordial Sword Sect is merely a fourth-tier power, but its internal strength could be significantly formidable.

Therefore, it was possible that the Primordial Sword Sect didn’t want others to know its true strength. And if the Thousand Yard Sect were to relocate, would it make the Primordial Sword Sect feel that the Thousand Yard Sect was being disrespectful?

If they were deemed disrespectful, would it be easy for the Primordial Sword Sect to simply eliminate them?

Fu Xuanye suddenly thought of the Pinnacle Peak Sect, recalling their peculiar actions and excessive deference to the Primordial Sword Sect.

Previously, he couldn’t comprehend it, but now Fu Xuanye suddenly understood.

If the mysterious individual from earlier was indeed from the Primordial Sword Sect, then the Pinnacle Peak Sect’s behavior would make perfect sense.

Countless thoughts raced through Fu Xuanye’s mind, making his already pale face even paler due to his severe injuries.

Outside Mount Tangnan,

Chen Fei’s figure appeared in mid-air, gazing at the Blood Sun Sect ahead.

The branches of the Death Shadow Sect were numerous, and aside from the true leader of the sect, no one knew how much strength the sect concealed.

Kou Yuanheng, who had come to kill Chen Fei, was in the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and was considered a senior figure within the Death Shadow Sect, yet there were still many things he didn’t know.

The status of the Wu brothers, compared to Kou Yuanheng, is undoubtedly higher.

In a sense, the Death Shadow Sect is grooming the Wu brothers as future leaders. As long as the three of them successfully condense a high-grade Combined Aperture and advance to the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Chen Fei flew forward, his figure gradually fading, until it disappeared completely.

The formation of the Blood Sun Sect was decent, but it only maintained the standard of a fourth-tier power and dared not make it too formidable. For Chen Fei, with his Heavenly Eye, overcoming the obstacles of the formation was effortless.

At the center of Mount Tangnan’s formation, the Death Shadow Sect stored a mysterious treasure.

By practicing specific techniques, the auras of many Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts from the Death Shadow Sect could be concealed within this treasure, making it impossible for others to perceive their true cultivation levels.

This was why, for so many years, the Death Shadow Sect had remained hidden within the Sea Peak City, unknown to others.

The Death Shadow Sect had already found a new location within the Sea Peak City and planned to establish a new city where members of the sect would reside, while the Blood Sun Sect would continue to maintain its role as a regular fourth-tier power.

In the courtyard, Tan Chunyi was dealing with the affairs of the Death Shadow Sect when suddenly his hand paused slightly, and he looked around, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

A gentle breeze brushed past, under the bright moonlight, revealing everything around in clear detail.

Suddenly, a figure emerged as if walking out from under the moonlight, appearing before Tan Chunyi.

“I apologize for not greeting you properly upon your arrival at the Blood Sun Sect, Senior. Please forgive me!” Tan Chunyi sensed the late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation of the newcomer and respectfully bowed.

“That treasure of yours is quite fascinating,” Chen Fei remarked, observing that Tan Chunyi only emitted the aura of a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

He couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Under the Heavenly Eye, Chen Fei could discern a clue.

Even facing each other directly, other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators would find it difficult to detect any anomaly in Tan Chunyi, let alone those at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

In a sense, the concealment effect brought about by this treasure was almost on par with Chen Fei’s own abilities.

Of course, Chen Fei could move freely, whereas members of the Death Shadow Sect could only benefit from this concealment effect within the vicinity of the treasure.

Tan Chunyi looked up at Chen Fei, his eyes shining brightly with excitement.

For the first time in many years, someone had directly exposed the secret of the Death Shadow Sect!

Suddenly, another figure appeared behind Chen Fei, a jet-black blade silently piercing towards his back.

Without wind, without any fluctuation in spiritual energy, the attack of this figure was as silent as the night.

Chen Fei’s body swayed slightly, perfectly evading the attack from behind, then with another movement, he appeared in mid-air.

Pu Chunxu furrowed his brow, looking at Chen Fei above, and exchanged a glance with Tan Chunyi.

As soon as Chen Fei appeared, Tan Chunyi notified Pu Chunxu using a secret technique, which resulted in Pu Chunxu’s almost perfect sneak attack.

But even so, it was effortlessly avoided by Chen Fei.

“Who are you!” Tan Chunyi demanded in a solemn tone.

Knowing the secret of the Death Shadow Sect meant death, or else there would be endless trouble for the sect in the future.

Within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, many people entrusted tasks to the Death Shadow Sect, but even more harbored deep hatred towards them.

If the Death Shadow Sect were truly exposed, dealing with them wouldn’t be as simple as facing a late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm opponent.

But Tan Chunyi also wanted to know how the secret of the Death Shadow Sect had been exposed. To ensure the secrecy of the sect, the Death Shadow Sect had done many things.

And over the years, the Death Shadow Sect had indeed remained undisturbed, with the most being the discovery of some fake headquarters, which posed minimal loss to the main sect.

“You sent someone to kill me just now, didn’t you?” Chen Fei looked down at Tan Chunyi.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, a hint of confusion flashed in Tan Chunyi’s eyes. Then, his eyes widened involuntarily, and on the side, Pu Chunxu also realized Chen Fei’s identity, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The elemental energy within Chen Fei’s body suddenly boiled, the collision of the four forbidden techniques overwhelming the entire courtyard with his aura.

Tan Chunyi and Pu Chunxu felt a heavy pressure, a sense of gloom creeping over them involuntarily. This power!

How could he have cultivated the Combined Aperture Tempering realm to this extent in just ten years?

Even the once dazzling Min Yanlu couldn’t achieve such a level!

There must be a great secret within this young man! Compared to this, the secret of the Death Shadow Sect seemed trivial.

Chen Fei’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Tan Chunyi, the Qianyuan Sword thrusting forward. Terrifying sword intent filled Tan Chunyi’s mind, and he found it difficult to move.

Only by facing Chen Fei head-on could one truly understand the terrifying power he possessed after unlocking the four forbidden techniques. This was far beyond the combat capability one would expect from a late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

And yet, just earlier today, they had been plotting how to capture Chen Fei!

Pu Chunxu appeared behind Chen Fei, a black blade slicing towards Chen Fei’s neck.

Chen Fei’s current display of power was too terrifying. If Tan Chunyi were to die, then Pu Chunxu would also undoubtedly meet his end.

“Buzz!”

A sword intent suddenly appeared in front of Pu Chunxu, his eyes widening in disbelief at the sharpness of this sword intent, which even surpassed the sword technique Chen Fei was currently employing.

Where did this sword intent come from? Wasn’t Chen Fei attacking Tan Chunyi?

“Boom!”

The entire Mount Tangnan trembled violently, countless cracks extending from the courtyard towards the interior of the mountain, and huge rocks tumbling down from the mountain peak.

Trembling, Tan Chunyi retreated, the terrifying force crushing his body. Before he could even attempt to resolve this force, a flash of sword light appeared before him.

Tan Chunyi’s body stiffened involuntarily, blood mist filling the air, his eyes filled with unwillingness..
