Within the void, the black-robed martial artist formed from the Black Dragon Qi demonstrated the Black Dragon Tyrant of Heaven Style over and over again, while the three-headed monster, like a masochist who had been abused thousands of times, was repeatedly slaughtered by the black-robed martial artist.
Sometimes crushed with a claw, sometimes flung away with a leg, and sometimes having its head smashed with a punch, showing Ye Zhen the profound essence contained in the three moves of the Black Dragon Tyrant King Style.
Ye Zhen had to engage all of his energies to comprehend the profound essence displayed by the black-robed martial artist, and with each observation, Ye Zhen felt something different.
Ye Zhen did not know when this secret realm would dissipate, so besides fully engaging in comprehension, he also made a great effort to remember every scene shown by the black-robed martial artist for future contemplation.
Of course, such memory was possible only because Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power was exceptionally strong, which allowed him to remember such extremely complex scenes of contained meanings; otherwise, he wouldn’t even think about it.
The reason for remembering was simple, in Ye Zhen’s view, the Black Dragon Tyrant of Heaven Style was definitely close to the level of the martial skill "Floating Cloud Finger".
Initially, just one style of Floating Cloud Finger took Ye Zhen over a month to contemplate. This Black Dragon Tyrant of Heaven Style consisted of three moves, each with tremendous power, and the Black Dragon Secret Palace was only open for seven days.
This martial skill was definitely not something Ye Zhen could fully comprehend within seven days.
As Ye Zhen continued his comprehension, the figures of the black-robed martial artist and the three-headed demon in the sky became increasingly weak, each demonstration making the figures dimmer.
"It seems that time is almost up...."
Pff!
Before Ye Zhen could finish, the figures of the black-robed martial artist and the three-headed demon in the sky shattered like bubbles, and Ye Zhen felt a great force coming through, feeling as though he was being squeezed out.
Meow!
As he was squeezed out of the secret realm, the dragon’s might dissipated, and the Cloud Winged Tiger King kitten in Ye Zhen’s arms issued a pitiful meow. This Cloud Winged Tiger King had followed Ye Zhen into the Black Dragon Secret Palace and was subjected to much grievance.
"How long have I been in this secret realm?"
The Cloud Winged Tiger King kitten felt aggrieved, but an extremely critical question arose in Ye Zhen’s mind.
The Black Dragon Secret Realm was only open for a period of seven days. Before entering the realm, Ye Zhen had already spent two and a half days, and while contemplating inside the realm where it was perpetually dark with no sense of time, Ye Zhen did not know how much time he had used.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhen wouldn’t need to worry about time and could freely explore the Black Dragon Secret Palace; when time was up, the mysterious forces of the Black Dragon Secret Palace would send him out.
But now, that wouldn’t do.
With Ye Zhen’s slaying of Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, an opportunity for Ye Zhen to potentially free himself from the future shadows of the Tiannan Hua Family presented itself right in front of him.
"Never mind, although the opportunity to explore the Black Dragon Secret Palace is incredibly precious and comes only once in a lifetime, my life and the lives of many relatives and friends closely tied to me also come only once.
I cannot, because of my own selfish desires, drag them all into a pit of fire! With the nature of the Tiannan Hua Family, if they really became suspicious of me, they might take their anger out on everyone related to me."
The most important thing was that Ye Zhen’s plan, if completed within the Black Dragon Secret Palace, could be flawless and kept extremely secret, with a very high chance of success.
If he could not complete it within the Black Dragon Secret Palace, Ye Zhen’s plan would already be half doomed.
"That’s it then, complete this plan first, and then consider the rest!"
Ye Zhen immediately made a decision.
A few moments later, an Emergency Contact Talisman Light flew out from Ye Zhen’s hand, slightly pausing in the air before heading towards the distant south. Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen mounted the already prepared Cloud Winged Tiger and flew furiously in the direction where the Communication Talisman Light disappeared.
If there had been a Phantom Divine Sect disciple present, they would have noticed that the Emergency Contact Talisman Light that Ye Zhen sent out was their Phantom Divine Sect’s special Emergency Contact Talisman.
When asked where Ye Zhen got the Phantom Divine Sect’s emergency contact talisman, it’s simple, it came from Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s storage ring.
A dozen moments later, Ye Zhen lost track of the Emergency Contact Talisman Light, and after following the direction in which the talisman light disappeared for a while, Ye Zhen sent out another Emergency Contact Talisman Light and tracked again.
Watching one Emergency Contact Talisman Light after another falling into his hands, Phantom Divine Sect True Disciple Zuo Bin felt depressed and extremely conflicted.
He recognized that these were the Emergency Contact Talismans sent out by his elder brother Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, and moreover, the messages contained pleas for help.
According to the rules of the Phantom Divine Sect, any sect disciple who receives an emergency contact talisman from a fellow disciple must respond immediately.
If it is an emergency rescue talisman, they must rush to help; if they fail to respond after receiving it and are discovered, their Cultivation will be taken away immediately, and they will be expelled from the sect.
Of course, Zuo Bin was not a novice who had just joined the Phantom Divine Sect but an old bird who had been mingling in the Phantom Divine Sect for many years.
The rules of the Phantom Divine Sect were strict, but there were loopholes, such as distance.
Zuo Bin did receive the Emergency Contact Talisman Light, but Hand Extreme Bu Changtian wouldn’t know how far away Zuo Bin was when he received it, right?
Perhaps a hundred or two hundred li, or maybe a thousand or two thousand li; anyway, Zuo Bin was on his way, right? They couldn’t blame him for the long journey, could they? It wasn’t that he wasn’t saving, but that he couldn’t make it in time.
But to return to why Zuo Bin, upon receiving Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s Rescue Talisman, didn’t want to go to the rescue? If this had happened before, as soon as Zuo Bin received a talisman from Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, he would run faster than a rabbit.
The reason was simple, and it was because of what happened during the ranking competition of the Black Dragon Ranking.
During the top 10 ranking competition of the Black Dragon Ranking, Zuo Bin and his fellow brother Hand Extreme Bu Changtian unexpectedly encountered each other. Hand Extreme Bu Changtian wanted Zuo Bin to concede immediately, but Zuo Bin wanted to fight for his future and fate, and he fought as if his life depended on it that round.
Unfortunately, he still lost to Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, but Zuo Bin’s desperate attempt also severely injured Hand Extreme Bu Changtian.
From that moment, a rift developed between Hand Extreme Bu Changtian and Zuo Bin.
Although afterwards, Qing Yii specially called the two together to resolve the issue, and while Zuo Bin was willing to resolve it, the coldness in Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s eyes made Zuo Bin somewhat fearful.
Thus, his current conflict emerged: to save or not to save?
However, when Zuo Bin received the fifth request for help in the form of an Emergency Contact Talisman from Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, he could no longer sit still.
If there were no movements from him and the other sect brothers discovered him, his life would be over. The rules of the Phantom Divine Sect are so strict it’s almost perverse, especially regarding the rule of not assisting fellow disciples in peril; there’s no flexibility whatsoever.
Currently, in the Black Dragon Secret Palace, it wasn’t just Zuo Bin and Bu Changtian from the Phantom Divine Sect; there were at least five others.
In his haste, Zuo Bin quickly sent a response through the talisman and rushed toward the direction where the emergency contact talisman from eldest brother Bu Changtian had come from, which seemed not too far from his current location.
Amidst the clouds, riding the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Ye Zhen finally received Zuo Bin’s response. A slight smile curled his lips, looking exceptionally sharp.
A few moments later, Ye Zhen placed Bu Changtian’s body, marked with intersecting sword cuts indicating a fierce battle, in a mountain hollow.
On Bu Changtian’s body, a few inexplicable injuries were added, but these were not the important part. Most importantly, on the middle finger of Bu Changtian’s right hand, there appeared an ancient-looking storage ring that matched the one on his left finger, complementing each other perfectly.
The storage ring that appeared on Bu Changtian’s right hand was the high-grade treasure ring Ye Zhen had gotten from Huaa Wushuang, dozens of times more precious than the mid-grade treasure ring on Bu Changtian’s hand.
Moreover, what Ye Zhen placed there was not just a high-grade treasure ring.
Inside that high-grade treasure ring, the necklace pendant worn by Huaa Wushuang, and most of the wealth inside Huaa Wushuang’s storage ring, were also placed by Ye Zhen.
Including over ten thousand low-grade crystals, more than a thousand mid-grade spirit crystals, some precious yet common pills, and those boxes of gold ingots—Ye Zhen had put them all in.
As for Ning Shen Jade Liquid and high-grade spirit crystals, those exceedingly precious items, Ye Zhen dared not place them as they could have alerted his target.
Beyond that, Ye Zhen cleared all traces of Huaa Wushuang from this high-grade treasure ring.
If the tricked doubted the ownership of this high-grade treasure ring, then Ye Zhen’s plan would have failed from the start.
Apart from these, Ye Zhen didn’t touch anything inside the storage ring on Bu Changtian’s hand; he took nothing.
Truth be told, Ye Zhen had invested heavily in this plan, including that high-grade treasure ring, totaling assets worth a million low-grade spirit crystals.
After setting everything up, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten carrying Ye Zhen swiftly ascended over two thousand meters into the air. As the Cloud Winged Tiger cub gathered massive clouds for disguise, Ye Zhen began to conceal his own aura, motionlessly hiding in the high clouds, silently observing Bu Changtian’s body below.
Over one hour later, following the emergency contact talisman, Zuo Bin frantically arrived. When Zuo Bin saw the body of Huaa Wushuang, his vision blurred, and he nearly collapsed onto the ground.
How terrifying is this?
In just a short while, the eldest brother Bu Changtian had been killed.
Almost simultaneously, Zuo Bin, as if electrified, surged into the sky. His protective spirit force glimmered to the extreme, and his sword gang fluctuated wildly, ready to strike at any moment.
Zuo Bin was scared!
He feared that the person who had killed elder brother Bu Changtian was nearby, lying in ambush for him.
Yet, after cautiously patrolling the area for over half an hour, Zuo Bin finally confirmed something—there was no ambush around.
If he couldn’t detect someone under such thorough searching, then it meant the opponent didn’t need to hide at all.
Then, with a grave expression, Zuo Bin started to examine the surroundings and the injuries on elder brother Bu Changtian’s body.
"A fierce battle; elder brother surely went through a fierce battle!"
After observing, the anxious Zuo Bin thought about taking Bu Changtian’s body away.
Taking the body away was also one of their sect rules.
If they found a fellow disciple dead, they must take the body away, if possible.
Seeing Zuo Bin about to take Bu Changtian’s body, Ye Zhen smiled; the plan was successful. But before the smile fully formed, he was stunned.
A flash of green light, and Zuo Bin’s storage ring emitted a circle of green light, blocking Bu Changtian’s body.
"Oh, elder brother’s storage ring wasn’t removed, can’t fit it in!"
Just as Zuo Bin was about to remove the storage ring from Bu Changtian’s left hand, he paused abruptly, because he noticed another ring on Bu Changtian’s right hand.
He was very clear which was elder brother Bu Changtian’s storage ring.
How could there suddenly be another?
Looking around and seeing no one, Zuo Bin attempted to send his divine sense into the previously unseen storage ring on Bu Changtian’s right hand.
Then, Zuo Bin was stunned!
High Grade Treasure Ring!
A possession not even many Soul Sea Realm elders owned!
Even Bu Changtian, the true inheritor of the Phantom Divine Sect, possessed only a mid-grade treasure ring.
What shocked Zuo Bin the most was the presence of over a thousand mid-grade spirit crystals, various valuable pills inside, and, including this high-grade treasure ring, the total value reached five to six hundred thousand low-grade spirit crystals or even more!
A dense greed instantly surfaced in Zuo Bin’s eyes.
Amidst the clouds, watching Zuo Bin put on Huaa Wushuang’s storage ring on his finger, Ye Zhen was momentarily stunned, then he realized, with this twist, the first step of his plan was even more perfect than he had arranged.
However, this Zuo Bin, he’s probably in for some bad luck in the future!
Frame-up plan, step one, perfectly completed! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
