After all, Xu Zhilong was not an idiot. After Chen Xun found out, he could naturally imagine that Xiong could not collude directly with the demons. However, intentionally allowing the Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation to become uncontrollable in the western continent of Tian Jun was a trick of one stone and three birds for Xiong.

This was also a place that other Immortal Dao Sects would never have imagined, or would not be able to guard against the Xiong Clan.

The Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation swept through Tian Jun. The Yi Clan already had tens of millions or even more crippled descendants in Tian Jun. If they were unable to escape, they would suffer a cruel bloodbath.

By borrowing the hands of the demons, the Xiong Clan and the Traitor Emperor didn’t need to be tainted with the karma of slaughtering millions of Yi Clan’s crippled descendants, but they were able to reap the benefits of saving hundreds of millions of humans from fire and water.

Although the Immortal Dao Sect in Tian Jun had suffered a heavy blow, Xiong is also unavoidable. The children of Heavenly Huan Realm may suffer heavy casualties, but as long as Yi Clan’s reinforcements arrive in time to turn the tide, not only will the Tian Jun Rebellion Emperor naturally take the Xiong Realm and the small and medium-sized Heavenly Domains as his subordinates, Tian Jun will also become the first sect and imperial clan in the Tian Jun Realm under the support of the Rebellion Emperor …

Xu Zhilong was also a decisive murderer, but he felt a chill run down his spine at the thought that the Xiong clan might be hiding their vicious schemes behind the scenes.

Chen Xun glanced at Xu Zhilong and snorted coldly in his heart. Although Xu Zhilong had given him a feeling of majesty and indestructibility when he first arrived in Tian Jun, it was purely due to the difference in cultivation realm. He had never felt that Xu Zhilong was truly qualified to be his opponent.

In the end, Xu Zhilong didn’t even have the viciousness of his father.

“Xiong was originally an ancient clan of the Southern Continent. In ancient times, it was divided into the Xiong of the Southern Continent and the Xiong of the Western Continent. There were Brahma Heaven Realm Immortal Monarchs guarding each of them, and the two Brahma Heaven Realm Immortal Monarchs of Xiong were the descendants of the Southern Mountain Old Thief. After the Southern Mountain Old Bandit returned to Tian Jun last time, the two Xiong had the potential to merge. At that time, there would be three Brahma Heaven Realm Immortal Monarchs. As for the Southern Mountain Old Bandit, his cultivation was extremely deep and extraordinary. No wonder they had the ambition to monopolize the Tian Jun Realm! ”

Prior to this, Master Qingniu was Master Crimson Pine, Master Beixuan Jia, and the others’ cultivation had split into six Grand Dao imprints. Their cultivation had suffered too many losses, and their divine soul cultivation had only recovered to the second stage of Nirvana. However, Xu Zheng did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Master Qingniu. He insisted on inviting Master Qingniu to sit on the head. He and Chen Xun sat in two rows.

Chen Xun could not see how sincere Xu Zheng was towards Qing Niu Shi. He would not tell Xu Zheng about the Primordial Demon God. Xu Zhilong and his father knew about it.

He was afraid that after Xu Zheng found out these secrets, he wouldn’t be able to wait for another 40 to 50 years, so he would immediately pack his bags and escort the Yi Clan’s remnant descendants who had gathered in Everbright City to flee.

“At this moment, it’s purely speculation about the Xiong Clan’s intentions. There’s no evidence to convince the other immortal sects, but I have to be on guard,” Chen Xun said. “I hope that Chang Ji (Ji Chang) will be in charge of the secret hall from now on, and Old Niu will follow me to the Heaven Splitting Valley to cultivate …”

Although the Yi Clan’s secret hall had recovered to 40-50%, it was getting harder and harder to repair. It was no longer enough to keep supplying Yuan Copper. It still needed more heavenly materials and earth treasures.

Chen Xun temporarily didn’t have the ability or resources to repair the secret hall and the Lotus Book at the same time. At present, the Lotus Mountain was even more important to him.

He decided to hand over the secret hall to Chang Ji in exchange for Qing Niu’s departure. It was time for Xu Zheng to worry about repairing the secret hall. There should also be a place for the resources that the Divine Night Sect and the Eternal Ming Empire had plundered over the years.

If the Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation really reached an uncontrollable stage, Chang Ji would escort Jiang Shu’s direct descendants and accompany Xu Zheng to leave Tian Jun. Handing it over to Chang Ji to guard the secret hall would further calm Xu Zheng’s heart.

After all, Chang Ji and Xu Zheng were not on the same path. He came to guard the secret hall, at least until Qingwu Ridge appeared again. As long as Chang Ji and the Secret Hall did not retreat north from the eastern foothills of Qingwu Ridge, Xu Zheng would not shift the western defensive center from Qingwu Ridge to Shen Xiao Mountain.

This way, Chen Xun would be able to leave Qingwu Ridge and use the Heaven Splitting Valley as a base to open up a second battlefield in the depths of the Vast Expanse Star System to hunt demons.

Xu Zheng didn’t have the face to directly compete for control of the secret hall. It was something he was happy to see that Chang Ji was guarding it. However, he hadn’t expected Chen Xun to make such a straightforward decision. From the looks of it, neither Chang Zhen nor Old Kui had any special expressions on their faces. Presumably, they had already made such a decision before they moved the secret hall to Tianjun.

“Don’t worry, the Taiyuan Immortal Palace hasn’t fallen into the hands of the demons. I, Xu Zheng, will definitely not take half a step back from Qingwu Ridge.”

Xu Zheng also understood what he meant. If the allied forces of the various sects were unable to stop the Tai Yuan Treasure from falling into the hands of the demons, regardless of whether Tian Jun was still alive or not, Yun Huangshan and the Western Continent would definitely be completely crippled.

Chen Xun added, “I also have ten Crossing Calamity Pills in my hand. Old Devil Xu, be generous. If we work together to help Chang Ji break through the bottleneck of the sixth realm, the Yi Clan will truly have one more guardian.” And before Taiyuan Immortal Palace comes out again, I can rest assured that I will leave Qingwu Ridge to you to defend against! However, the Dragon Subduing Battle Ark will still be lent to me for another 50 years. This time, don’t take back the Dragon Soul Tool Spirit anymore … ”

The Sixth Realm of Nirvana was the peak of the Middle Three Realms of Nirvana. It was also a bottleneck that was extremely difficult to break through. Chang Ji (Ji Chang) had been stagnating in the Sixth Realm of Nirvana for two to three thousand years. He hadn’t expected Chen Xun to be able to take out ten Tribulation Crossing Pills at once.

Refining the Crossing Calamity Pill required a large amount of heavenly treasures and extremely precious spirit medicines. However, apart from these, how many resources would it take to make Brahma Heaven Realm immortals willing to lose nearly a thousand years of cultivation to refine these ten Crossing Calamity Pills?

Ten Crossing Calamity Pills in exchange for the right to use the Dragon Boat for fifty years, no matter what, it was a huge bargain for Chang Ji.

Xu Zhilong couldn’t help but look at his father anxiously. In his opinion, Chen Xun’s ability to take out ten Crossing Calamity Pills was undoubtedly proof that Patriarch Primordial Chaos had indeed escaped from the Star Ruins and returned to Heavenly Jun with him.

Otherwise, Chen Xun would not have insisted that Azure Bull Former Master follow him to the Heaven Splitting Valley to cultivate. With the help of Patriarch Primordial Chaos, Azure Bull Former Master would undoubtedly be able to recover his cultivation faster, and they could not stop him.

As for Chen Xun, he was so generous in helping Chang Ji overcome the tribulation and cultivate into the Upper Three Realms of Nirvana, so he undoubtedly wanted to use Chang Ji’s hand to restrain his father.

Normally speaking, if Chang Ji wanted to cross the tribulation, he would need thirty-two Crossing Calamity Pills in order to have sufficient confidence. However, since Crossing Calamity Pills were so precious, apart from being extremely and firmly on their side, Chen Xun would have squeezed out ten Crossing Calamity Pills for Chang Ji.

Chang Ji also cultivated the Grand Daos of Heaven and Earth. Even if the number of Crossing Calamity Pills was insufficient, the probability of successfully crossing the tribulation was still much higher than that of other peak Nirvana Middle Three Realms experts. For example, after Xu Zheng refined the War Soul Remnant Tombstone, he didn’t even need the help of the Crossing Calamity Pill to survive two tribulations.

Chang Ji was confident that he would be able to obtain ten Crossing Calamity Pills.

In addition, entering the Vast Expanse Star System to open up a second battlefield, Chen Xun also needed more high-grade warships. One Nebula Ship was already seriously insufficient.

**************************

In the secret hall, Master Qingniu’s cultivation had once recovered to the Sixth Realm of Nirvana. At that time, he had directly reconstructed his fleshly body. However, before he could recultivate his fleshly body, Chen Xun was swept away by the Six-Armed Witch.

In order to alleviate the crisis faced by Wu Shan at that time, it was not convenient for the former master to directly leave the mountain, so he divided out six Grand Dao imprints to help Chi Song Zi and the others raise their cultivation.

At the same time that his divine soul cultivation had greatly decreased, his physical body had not been able to increase. At this moment, he was like a standard Nirvana Second Realm beast.

After putting the Dragon Subduing Boat into the Lotus Book, Chen Xun bid farewell to Xu Zheng, Chang Ji, Old Kui, who had transformed into a green-robed old man, and the former teacher of a middle-aged scholar, then left the Bird Flame Ridge where Xu Zheng’s tent was located and returned to the Demon Suppressing Ridge that he and Emperor Wei Xu Chunwang had taken charge of.

The Heavenly Dao Demon Swinging Army quickly expanded to three million after winning the Demon Suppression Ridge.

After Chang Xi had pieced together some broken memories from her previous life, Chen Xun had already communicated with Emperor Wei Xu Chunwang about the matters of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace.

Emperor Wei Xu Chunwang also knew that confrontation with the demons at the southern foot of Cloud Barren Mountain was far from enough to resolve the crisis 50 years later. He had to enter the Vast Expanse Star System to open up a second battlefield.

The alliance army of the various sects had progressed slowly, and Emperor Wei Xu Chunwang had also supported Chen Xun in leading an elite army to enter the depths of the Star System with the Heaven Splitting Valley as the base.

Beixuan Armor, Ji Lie, Zhao Cheng’en, Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, and Tie Xintong had already transferred the elite soldiers of the 600,000 Heavenly Dao Demon Corps to the Heaven Splitting Valley. Under the command of Emperor Xi Wu, Qingwu Ridge, Su Shousi, and the others, the remaining 2.4 million Heavenly Dao Demon Swinging Army and over a hundred thousand Chi Songzi disciples would assist Emperor Wei Xu Chunwang in defending the Demon Stop Ridge and Qingwu Ridge’s frontlines, and join forces with the Western Front to suppress the main force of the demon army.

*************************

After discussing everything, Chen Xun returned to the cave where he was cultivating in the Demon Sealing Ridge. Dragon Capturing Child Xu Bin, Zhao Xinglong, Lu Xiaorui, and the other five or six hundred disciples had been waiting for him there for a long time.

“We will be homeless, unemployed, unsect, and unclansmen from now on. Please accept us …”

The more outstanding Xu Bin was, the more he said to Chen Xun.

Although the Heavenly Dao Sect claimed to be guarding the Heavenly Dao, there weren’t many people who were truly willing to shatter their bones for the human race. The five to six hundred people behind Xu Bin weren’t all disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Thinking of the hundred plus disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect who had died in the bloody battle at the Qilin Horn, and looking at the five hundred disciples behind Xu Bin, Zhao Xinglong, and Lu Xiaorui, Chen Xun’s mood stirred.

The existence of the Black-clothed Army had long since ceased to be a secret. After all, martial and profound cultivators above the Diversified Core Realm were not nameless and nameless people. From now on, they had disappeared. If they did not appear in the mortal world, it was impossible for them to conceal themselves from too many people.

As for Xu Bin, Zhao Xinglong, Lu Xiaorui, and the others who had joined Qingwu Ridge as guest ministers, they naturally knew more.

However, in order to ensure that the Black-clothed Army would not be infiltrated and controlled by the various sects, and that the true strength of the Black-clothed Army and the secrets of the Lotus Book would not be spied on by the demons before they played a vital role, Chen Xun requested to join the Black-clothed Profound Cultivators and Martial Cultivators. From now on, he would cut off all contact with the sects and clans …
