The Great Wild God - Chapter 391
Chapter 391 Fish In Troubled Waters
In the third watch, the poor strange stone beast in the lead had a pitch-black body that looked like made of nebula iron. The tiger-headed bull’s body was more than twenty zhang tall, and its giant wings were only about a hundred zhang wide. Compared to the thousand zhang flood dragon that Jiang Junwen had transformed from azure jade Ruyi, its body wasn’t huge, but its neck jaw that bit the flood dragon’s main body was almost azure jade Ruyi.
The poor strange stone beast raised its spear-like black scales towards Feng Hei and floated over the deep gorge. Wherever it went, faint lightning flashed and extinguished in the air.
In a small space, if the Spiritual Energy or Heaven Earth Elemental Energy fluctuated to a certain extent, the space would collapse.
A Nirvana Realm expert’s ability to tear open the void with his bare hands was, in the end, extremely powerful.
The crackling sound of thunder was a unique sign of the collapse of space. Looking at this situation, Chen Xun felt that if the Qiong Qi Stone Beast’s aura grew even stronger, it would probably directly attract the Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning to strike him …
The remaining thirteen poor and strange stone beasts were slightly smaller, following closely behind them. The surrounding Giant Peaks and Stone Ridges all collapsed like mud dykes and ant nests that had been hit by floods.
The violent tremors of Heaven Earth Yuan Force destroyed the towering trees in the distance like sharp blades cutting grass.
Jiang Jun asked. Both Yuan Qingshang and the other had mid Heavenly Human Realm cultivations. In Cloud Continent, they could be considered peerless experts standing at the peak of all living beings. However, when the two of them joined forces, they were still unable to contend against the fourteen Pure Yang Dao Weapon-level magic treasures. They could only fight and retreat. In the mountains near Heavenly Quan Valley, they wrestled with these ten Pure Yang Dao Weapon-level magic beasts that were powerful enough to defy the heavens.
Old Kui had already hidden himself in the Void Origin Pearl. Chen Xun and Chang Xi saw that the situation was wrong and quickly retreated to the periphery.
Together, Chen Xun and Chang Xi were able to easily take on the offensive of an ordinary poor and strange stone beast. The Northern Profound Armor, Black Tea, and the others all came out of the Void Origin Pearl. It wasn’t difficult for them to receive the attacks of three or four poor strange stone beasts. However, the 14 poor strange stone beasts had evidence to advance and retreat. Their souls and souls reflected each other, and they were all controlled by the poor strange stone beast in the lead. The battle formation formed by them even affected the Spiritual Energy in the void and didn’t even give them a chance to attack.
In such a situation, Chen Xun would not dare to rush up and become cannon fodder. He thought that Jiang Jun would be the best person to carry out such a deathly task. True Monarchs like Yuan Qingchang could only follow behind him in troubled waters with such a low level of strength.
“If the Star Iron Demonic Body is intact, each bottle will not be weaker than these poor and strange stone beasts. The 144 bottles of Star Iron Demonic Body will form the Great Profound Evolution Battle Formation, and the remaining bones of the demonic dragon will have to avoid its sharpness. It will be even easier to defeat Mountain Long …”
In the Void Origin Pearl, Old Kui was still paying close attention to the changes in the battles over the Valley of Heavenly Power. Seeing that the poor strange stone beast could actually ask Jiang Jun, Yuan Qingchang forced him to flee everywhere. He couldn’t help but recall the boundless scenery of the Void Origin Palace when it was at its peak.
Chen Xun chuckled. He thought to himself that more than a hundred broken Star Iron Demon Bodies had been torn apart by him and hundreds of Earth-ranked magical artifacts had been refined. He didn’t know how long it would take Old Kui to stop talking about this in his ears.
In the eyes of Chang Zhen and Old Kui, he was a complete prodigal son.
*******************
“Shao Xiyan, did Wei Xuancheng ask Jiang Jun if Yuan Qingchang escaped with him? Do you want to wait for the poor and strange stone beasts to be lured out of the Valley of Heavenly Power so that they can charge into the underground palace and seize the treasures left behind by the immortals?” Chang Xi and Chen Xun quickly retreated, but they still didn’t forget to observe the situation in the valley at any time.
The Heavenly Power Dao Palace was located in a two thousand zhang deep gorge. The cliff peaks on both sides were almost destroyed and collapsed, burying the canyon. There were already traces of the Dao Palace from outside, but there were huge cracks between the collapsed boulders. It was not difficult for Dharma Aspect experts to enter and find the passage to the underground secret palace.
Chen Xun turned around to see Yuan Qingchang. Jiang Jun asked as he retreated towards the Fallen Star Sea to the east, while Shao Xiyan and Wei Xuancheng rushed towards them, seemingly wanting to leave this desperate battlefield.
Eleven of the two teams of Heaven Splitting Guards had lost their lives. Under the iron claws of the poor stone beast, their corpses were torn to pieces. The remaining ten or so people fled south in panic with Wei Xuancheng.
However, Jiang Junwen still had three demonic birds following him, working together to resist the endless slaughter of the poor and strange stone beasts.
Ce Tianwei’s cultivation was low, and staying in Heavenly Power Valley would only result in his life being wasted. However, Wei Xuancheng’s seven spirit swords were extremely sharp, and they could still help Jiang Junwen defend against the enemy.
Shao Xiyan was even a peak Dharma Realm expert, so he should also have the power to fight.
They separated from Yuan and Jiang and fled the battlefield, not wanting to guess that they were trying to divert the tigers away from the mountains.
Chang Xi looked at Chen Xun.
Chen Xun knew that Chang Xi wanted to follow Shao Xiyan and Wei Xuancheng into the deep gorge to fish in troubled waters after the poor strange stone beast was lured away.
Chen Xun shook his head and whispered, “If the thirteen poor and strange stone beasts were all puppet beasts without intelligence, this plan might work. Now, I think we should find a place to hide first.”
A moment later, Shaoxi Yan, Wei Xuancheng, and the others retreated to Chen Xun’s side. Seeing Chen Xun and Chang Xi stopping in a canyon, they were also stunned.
“Why isn’t Marquis Canglan leaving?” Shao Xiyan asked.
“I’m too tired to escape. Take a rest.” Chen Xun said.
Wei Xuancheng’s expression was uncertain as he said in a deep voice, “Could it be that Marquis Azure Water wants to fish in troubled waters?”
Chen Xun smiled coldly and said, “I’ve already said that Chen Xun won’t steal anything that Senior God-controller Mansion and Shaoxi can get. If Daoist Wei is worried, he can follow behind us. But if Daoist Wei is chased away like a dog by a strange beast, don’t blame Chen Xun for standing by and watching …”
Wei Xuancheng’s face darkened into a pig’s liver, but he was speechless.
Chen Xun said to Shao Xiyan, “Senior Shaoxi, do you think Chen Xun can still play a role?”
Shaoxi delayed and was uncertain. Chen Xun’s courage to shudder in the flames meant that he had the qualifications to do so.
Seeing that Shao Xiyan was hesitating, Wei Xuancheng resolutely said, “Lord Jiang and Palace Master Yuan managed to lure the poor and strange stone beast away. Chen Xun didn’t make any contribution, so how could he follow him into the troubled waters to fish?”
Wei Xuancheng knew that he could not conceal Chen Xun’s plan to divert the tigers away from the mountain. He simply made it clear. Chen Xun dared to follow him into troubled waters to fish. Even if he managed to sneak into the Heavenly Power Dao Palace to gain some benefits, he would still have to spit it it out in the end.
Shao Xiyan smiled and didn’t say anything else.
“Daoist Wei, Senior Shaoxi, do your best.” Chen Xun cupped his hands as he and Chang Xi transformed into two more shadows and flew towards the south.
****************
Chen Xun and Chang Xi almost retreated to the Yang Opening Valley before stopping.
At this time, Old Kui came out of the Void Origin Pearl again.
Old Kui’s primordial spirit cultivation was the highest. His divine sense could sense extremely subtle changes in aura from seven to eight hundred kilometers away. It was far beyond Chen Xun and Chang Xi’s reach at this moment.
They were hiding in the dense forest outside the Yang Opening Valley. Through Old Kui, they could clearly tell that the thirteen poor and strange stone beasts had been lured by Yuan Qingshang and Jiang Junwen to the Fallen Star Sea on the east side of Long Shandong.
At this time, Shao Xi Yan and Wei Xuan Cheng, as they had expected, once again turned around and drilled into the Heavenly Power Valley. Soon, they drilled into the pile of rocks formed after the collapse of the cliff peak.
However, just as Shao Xi Yan and Wei Xuan Cheng had drilled into the rubble of the Valley of Heavenly Power, several figures flew over from the mountains to the west.
It was actually another seven poor and strange stone beasts with huge wings!
“The Seven Star Lightning Formation uses seven as its level. The previous two batches of twenty-one poor strange stone beasts are also a multiple of seven!” Chen Xun said in shock.
The Scarlet Star Dao Palace at the middle foot of the Long Mountain had already entered ten thousand years ago, but there were still three forbidden grounds south of the middle foot of the Long Mountain.
The Kaiyang Valley had been completely destroyed, and the Heavenly Power Palace had a total of fourteen poor and strange stone beasts. This batch of seven poor strange stone beasts from the western mountains naturally came from the third Dao Palace forbidden area. Perhaps there were still seven poor strange stone beasts guarding the third Dao Palace forbidden area.
“No one has entered the third forbidden area of the Dao Palace for the time being. How did these seven poor and strange stone beasts activate?” Chang Xi asked in shock.
‘”How can a Spirit Poor Rock Beast be so easy to deal with? If one is activated, it is very likely that the other are activated together?” Chen Xun sighed softly and said, “Jiang Jun asked. Yuan Qingchang thought that he would divert the fourteen poor strange stone beasts away from the mountain, so how could he know that the poor strange stone beasts would not play tricks and catch a turtle in a jar for them?”
If Wei Xuancheng and Shao Xiyan had invited them to sneak into the Valley of Heavenly Power just now, they would naturally have to face the predicament together. At this moment, apart from watching Wei Xuancheng and Shao Xiyan’s good show, Chen Xun also knew that the opportunity that belonged to them would come.
Chen Xun and Chang Xi didn’t hesitate and hid in the Void Origin Pearl.
Apart from Su Tang, Lei Wanhe, and the Mysterious Weapon Sacrifice Seal, Jiang Bingyun and Su Lingyin had already successfully refined the outer restrictions of the two Mysterious Weapon Seals, allowing them to gather the Mysterious Weapon Arts.
At this moment, the Void Origin Pearl was in a fierce battle. They naturally had no intention of cultivating with Gu Chengzhuo, Tie Xintong, Gu Jianfeng, and the others. Seeing Chen Xun and Chang Xi return to the Void Origin Pearl, they gathered around to inquire about the situation outside.
“Now it’s our turn to fish in the troubled waters of the Valley of Heavenly Power” Chen Xun briefly explained what was going to happen to Jiang Bingyun and Su Lingyin before leaving the Northern Profound Armor and diving into the Valley of Heavenly Power with the Void Origin Pearl.
Regardless of whether Shao Xi Yan and Wei Xuan Cheng were alive or dead, after the Green Scaled Clan and the Ce Tian Clan hadn’t retreated from the Long Mountain, the twenty-one poor strange stone beasts wouldn’t be able to stay in the Heavenly Power Valley forever. It was very likely that they would still bite the Green Scaled Clan. The main force of the Ce Tian Clan wouldn’t let go, and they might even fight with the seven Mirage Beasts.
However, as long as there was an unfamiliar aura approaching Tian Quan Valley and other Dao Palace forbidden grounds, most of the poor and strange stone beasts that had the duty of guardian would be able to sense it. At that time, even if True Monarch Celestial was trapped by three or four groups of poor and strange stone beasts, he would still have to peel off his skin if he wanted to escape.
The Northern Profound Armor was born from the souls of immortals, and only the Northern Profound Armor could enter the Dao Palace Forbidden Ground without the knowledge of the poor and strange stone beast. If they wanted to fish in troubled waters, they could only hide in the Void Origin Pearl and let the Northern Profound Armor enter the underground secret hall before appearing …
Just in case, Chen Xun asked Jiang Bingyun, Su Lingyin, Gu Chengzhuo, Tie Xintong, and Gu Jianfeng to retreat from Long Mountain first and join Du Liangyong and Gu Xinyue, saying, “If we are trapped in the Void Origin Pearl and can’t leave the Heavenly Power Dao Palace, you can go find True Monarch Tao. At that time, I’m afraid only True Monarch Tao can help us escape from Long Mountain …”
“What should we do if someone from the Dragon Gate Sect obstructs us?” Jiang Bingyun asked.
Although Tao Jinghong admired Chen Xun, the rest of Dragon Gate Sect would definitely not let Tao Jinghong take such great risks for an unrelated person. Song Xuanyi, Tao Siyue, and the other direct disciples of Dragon Gate Sect were trapped in Mountain Long, and Dragon Gate Sect was only supported by a Dharma Realm expert.
Chen Xun smiled and said, “Let’s just say that we have pure Yang Dao artifacts as compensation. The Dragon Gate Sect doesn’t have many pure Yang Dao artifacts. If we are really trapped, we should be able to invite Old Tao out of the mountain with a pure Yang Dao artifact as compensation. You must not take the risk.”
