The Great Wild God - Chapter 97
Chapter 97 Steal Chickens and Peck Rice
After entering the Tushan Mountain Ridge for nearly a thousand kilometers, there were more and more fierce birds and beasts. Streams flowed, winds blew, trees howled, birds roared, and the vines looked exceptionally strange, hiding dangers.
Even experts who had just entered the Reincarnation Realm rarely broke into the mountains thousands of miles away from Azure Water City by themselves.
Chen Xun noticed that the Meng brothers and the others no longer chased after him. Instead, they stopped on a stone cliff. He had probably discovered that he was intentionally luring them into the depths of Tu Mountain.
Within the isolated valley of the cliff, under the moonlight, there was a bare and messy beach. Without the cover of the dense forest, Chen Xun could not approach the cliff. He felt that the Meng brothers and the others were used to robbing their families, and there was not the slightest flaw in their landing in the wilderness.
Chen Xun could guess that one of the Meng brothers and the others was extremely skilled in chasing after the enemy. Otherwise, Tie Xinmei wouldn’t have been so far away from them and wouldn’t have noticed.
Thinking of this, Chen Xun did not stop. He continued to run wildly forward, circling several peaks, then sneaked back from the west, climbing to one peak, watching the Meng brothers and the others from afar.
******************
“He left just like that?” Meng Chong asked Chen Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged.
A small green jade seal floated in the air on Chen Chuan’s chest. At this moment, it was emitting a green light that merged into the moonlight like water.
The azure jade seal was covered in fine patterns, but looking closely at these patterns, it was surprising that it was the surrounding terrain of the stone cliff.
“My strength is limited, and I can only observe the movements within ten kilometers of me when refining the Soul Pursuing Seal. If he leaves this range, I won’t be able to detect him!” Chen Chuan said, and he was about to put away the green jade seal.
“No,” said Meng Chong, stopping the man from putting away the Soul Chasing Seal. “That brat intentionally lured us. We stopped, and he will definitely return to see our movements.”
Chen Chuan knew what Meng Chong meant. As long as that brat turned around and hid, they could set a trap and kill him.
However, the Soul Chasing Seal was considered to be a top grade talisman artifact, but it was still not a high grade talisman artifact. If one wanted to continue searching for enemy tracks with the Soul Chasing Seal, one needed to continuously inject True Yang Profound Qi and use one’s Spiritual Sense to sense it …
However, if he really managed to sneak close to that brat and successfully hunt him down, the harvest from this trip would probably be extremely abundant.
Chen Chuan took out two True Yang Origin Cultivation Pills from his bosom and stuffed them into his mouth. He continued to sacrifice the Soul Pursuing Seal in front of him, crossing into his Spiritual Sense, and probing every single plant and tree within a twenty mile radius. However, he did not know that Chen Xun was squatting at the edge of the Soul Pursuing Seal’s search range, watching their every move.
Although he could only see a few black shadows, it was enough for Chen Xun. As long as the Meng brothers and the others were not separated, there would be no chance for him to attack. As long as he could monitor their movements, why would he take the risk to approach them?
Chen Xun was able to sit in the study room for nine months and refine the Void Origin Pearl. His patience was absolutely beyond Meng Chong, Chen Chuan, and the others’ imagination.
Everyone spent the night doing this. Meng Chong, Chen Chuan, and the others did not see the black-faced boy sneak back. They really thought that he had already left far away.
If this place went deeper into Tu Shan, there might be powerful desolate beasts roaming around. Meng Chong and the others could not stay here for long, so they packed up and set off on their way home.
Along the way, they encountered a few loose cultivators traveling together. Without absolute confidence, Meng Chong and the others would not risk their lives to fight.
When they arrived at the sentry base of the Left Cavalry Guard Mansion at the pass, the Meng brothers separated from Chen Chuan and the others.
Chen Xun thought that the Meng brothers might recognize him, so he immediately put aside the group of five Meng brothers and left them far behind the other three.
After passing through the pass, even within the area of Azure Water City, the south of the city was monitored by the Left Cavalry Guard Manor, and rarely did rogue cultivators cause trouble here.
Chen Chuan had a Gold Marketing Cave in the south of the city. He had finally come out. This time, nothing had been robbed. He did not find an opportunity to relax. If he went back like this, it would probably take another two to three months before he had a chance to come out.
After taking out the mount from the sentry base, Chen Chuan separated from the other two and rode his horse with a whip, galloping towards the southeast.
Ge Yi and the others used scaled horses as their mounts, mainly borrowing the momentum of scaled horses to charge at wartime, forming an extremely strong assassination momentum. Speaking of foot strength, a peak Ninth Layer savage martial artist might not be slower than a Scaled Horse when running wildly. After all, there was a limit to his strength.
The white camel horse Chen Chuan was riding was even worse than the scaled horse. Chen Xun used the Wind Riding Technique to hide on the other side of the mountain, so it was naturally not difficult to follow. After a while, he copied it to Chen Chuan’s front.
Thousands of white-tailed cattle were scattered on grass slopes, providing an excellent cover for Chen Xun to approach Chen Chuan.
Chen Xun let the cowardly Ah Qing flee to the mountains first. He didn’t expect the one-year-old Ah Qing to be of any help. He hid in the herd of white-tailed cattle and quietly walked down the hillside. He led a white-tailed cattle and pretended to be a herdsman and slowly walked towards Chen Chuan, who was riding his horse.
Chen Chuan saw the Shepherd Boy holding a tail bull and daring not to give way to him. He pinched up a spell and a giant palm phantom appeared in the void. Then, it pounced towards the Shepherd Boy.
Chen Chuan only wanted to teach the Shepherd Boy a lesson, wanting to see how he would have fun whipping people and white-tailed cattle.
Chen Xun revealed his whereabouts and dodged the shadow of the giant palm hacking towards Chen Chuan. Then, he slashed out with a violent saber light and slashed towards Chen Chuan.
The Profound Frost Saber Light emerged from the blade and grew more than 30 feet long. It was incomparably violent. The air seemed to be torn apart as it let out a “piercing” sound of ripping silk. In the next instant, it slashed in front of Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan paled in shock. He never thought that the black-faced boy would have such patience. He actually followed behind them one day and one night, and when he ignored his carelessness, he exploded into a slaughter.
Chen Chuan couldn’t avoid it, and in an instant, he could only activate the profound armor on his body, and he felt an overwhelming power rush towards him from the side.
The profound armor exploded with golden light, blocking this blade light, but Chen Chuan’s entire body was knocked flying more than ten meters.
Although he wasn’t seriously injured, his internal organs were knocked out of shape, causing him to almost spit out a mouthful of blood. His blood vitality was also in a state of chaos, and he was shocked. He revealed a surprised expression, “This child actually left behind more than one hand yesterday!”
He had profound armor protecting him, and Yu Shi had also knocked him flying over ten meters. Even a peak True Yang Realm ninth layer Profound Cloak disciple of the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor wouldn’t be able to slash him to such an extent.
When he stepped down from the white camel horse, the remaining momentum of the Saber Desolation that the black-faced boy had slashed out shockingly split into two, and before he could even let out a hissing sound, he fell to the ground with a rumble, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Chen Chuan knew that the Profound Armor would no longer be able to withstand the other party’s attack, and he crazily destroyed his qi and blood, wanting to inject it into the Profound Armor.
However, Chen Xun’s movements were even faster. He stepped forward like a flowing shadow charging towards his face. Just his body was vibrating and the air waves were shrieking. In the next moment, another violent blade light slashed towards him.
Chen Chuan had never seen a True Yang Realm martial cultivator whose strength was so strong that he could push the qi waves just by running. He was shocked in his heart, “Doesn’t this black-faced brat need some time to circulate his qi and blood?”
However, he had no choice but to dodge. He had his saber light slash straight. After a faint golden light burst out from his profound armor, the remaining energy of the saber light, along with the magic robes on his body, shattered into countless pieces.
Chen Chuan also had the eighth level of the True Yang Realm. His physical body was tempered to the point where his bones were as hard as iron and his muscles as hard as stone. There was no problem blocking the remaining momentum of the blade light, but the endless profound cold energy within the blade light penetrated his body and instantly caused Chen Chuan’s qi and blood to freeze …
Chen Chuan’s profound arts rotated several times. Just as he pushed the profound cold energy out of his body, Chen Xun slashed at him with another cold blade light. He was so desperate that he could only circulate all the profound energy in his body and head-on attack the blade light.
After a loud explosion, Chen Chuan’s intuition had a strength of 10,000 jin, sending him flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood in midair, and his internal organs were almost shattered by this strike.
Chen Chuan heavily smashed into the ground, borrowing the remaining bit of Qi and blood to flee …
Chen Xun wanted to kill people and silence them, but at this moment, there were already several riders shouting from afar.
Chen Xun hadn’t expected the Zuoqi Guard Manor to move so quickly. He knew that he had just struck out three times, but in the blink of an eye, he thought to himself that this fellow was truly destiny. It just so happened that someone from the Zuoqi Guard Manor was patrolling around.
Chen Xun saw a small seal and a leather bag fall from the ground. He picked it up and ran wildly towards the mountains.
Chen Chuan saw the warriors of the Left Cavalry Guard Manor and shouted for help, “Chen Chuan, disciple of the Su Wu Commandant Manor, is killed by the Great Kou. Please help Shang Qing …”
Chen Xun heard Chen Chuan shouting in the distance and secretly had a headache. He originally thought that the Meng brothers and the others were afraid of robbing rogue cultivators. Even if they were robbed, they would not dare to reveal it. Who would have thought that they would encounter someone from the Left Cavalry Guard Manor patrolling the area?
However, he couldn’t care less and buried his head in the dense forest.
*********************
The three knights of the Left Cavalry Guard glanced at the naked Chen Chuan. Although they had already seen Chen Xun fleeing the forest, Chen Xun was running too fast. In the blink of an eye, he had drilled into the forest. They were so far away that their Spiritual Sense could not lock up the slightest bit of aura, let alone chase after him …
Chen Chuan ran back to the place where the fight had just started. Apart from the two half-blood corpses of the white camel horse and countless pieces of armor, the Soul Chasing Seal and the waist pouch were all missing. He was angry and anxious, and a stream of hot blood almost rushed into his head, knocking him unconscious.
The disciples of the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor were actually robbed and killed in their jurisdiction. The people of the Zuo Qi Guard Manor also frowned deeply and asked Chen Chuan, “Do you see the appearance of the robber clearly …”
Chen Chuan said angrily, “That brat burned to ashes, I can recognize him!”
“Alright then, you can follow us back to the city first. As long as you can recognize a person and draw an image, the Law and Order Manor will naturally publish an arrest warrant to the various manors! Even if he escapes to the Heavenly Cliff Cape, he will definitely be captured!” The people from the Zuoqi Guard Mansion said.
Chen Chuan was so anxious that his heart went black. He thought to himself that that brat had snatched his Soul Chasing Seal and hadn’t immediately left the horizon. If he didn’t chase after it now, where would he chase after it after half a day?
Even if they found out who did it afterwards, what could they do? They could still reveal the secret of robbing rogue cultivators?
He was only a green-robed disciple of the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor. He was not qualified to order the people of the Left Cavalry Guard Manor to work for him. If he had any objections, he could only negotiate with the Left Cavalry Guard Manor through the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor. He knew that there was no hope of recovering the Soul Chasing Seal, so he could only follow the people of the Left Cavalry Guard Manor back to the city first.
After a long time in the Law Palace, Chen Chuan was able to return to the disciple monastery, but the news of him being robbed along the way had already spread.
There are sympathizers, there are cold-eyed spectators, and of course there are gloaters.
Although a talisman artifact was not of the highest grade, a cultivator at the Azure Yang Realm could have one. All of them were extraordinary treasures. Moreover, Chen Chuan’s Soul Pursuing Seal was even more profound than an ordinary talisman artifact. It was only a step away from becoming a rank one talisman artifact. Even an expert at the Reincarnation Realm might not be able to have one.
In the past, Chen Chuan flaunted his prestige in the disciple monastery and formed a personal relationship with Meng Chong and the others. Even the disciples in black clothes might not pay attention to him. Seeing him suffer so much at this time, there were naturally not a few disciples who were gloating over his misfortune.
Chen Chuan’s face was ashen, as if he was bereaved. He walked into the courtyard and slapped the unpleasant maidservant twice before kicking her out. He was so desperate in the quiet room that he wanted to cry.
“Chen Chuan,” Brother Meng Chong rushed in and grabbed the desperate Chen Chuan. “I know who that black-faced brat is.”
“Who is it?” Chen Chuan seemed to be drowning as he grabbed a straw and grabbed the hands of the Meng brothers as he asked.
“The other party’s background isn’t small, but I can find Fourth Master to make the decision for you!” The Meng brothers said.
