"Ancestor, this peculiar guest, where is he? Could he possibly be among the trash that entered the Trial Secret Realm?" the burly man asked disdainfully inside the great hall.
The old ancestor with purple eyebrows slightly raised them and said, "Xuan Hu, never underestimate human warriors! Human warriors are the most terrifying creatures in this world. Otherwise, we, the powerful individual members of the Demon Race, wouldn’t be suppressed in this corner of space!"
"Hmph, Ancestor, isn’t it just the Five Great Forces of Qinglan Martial City? If only you would take action, dealing with them would be as simple as waving your hand. We wouldn’t have to be stifled here."
"Waving my hand? Xuan Hu, you overestimate me. In terms of individual strength, human warriors are indeed not our equals. However, humans can utilize and create powerful Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts, use heaven-defying Pills, and have various profound Talisman Techniques and Talisman Formations. We cannot compare with all these."
"Of course, the most important thing is not these, but..."
"What is it, Ancestor?"
"The mind!"
"The mind? After our Demon Race has awakened Spirit Wisdom, we are not inferior to humans."
"Spirit Wisdom and the mind are two different concepts. Having Spirit Wisdom does not mean having a mind. With a mind, one can use the least force to achieve the greatest effect..."
The old ancestor clad in purple armor continued speaking, but Xuan Hu down below was completely baffled, finding the old ancestor’s words utterly confusing.
"Ah..."
The purple-armored ancestor sighed softly, then waved his hand, "Go then. First, arrange for someone to find that peculiar guest..."
Seeing the ancestor’s disappointed look, Xuan Hu was somewhat stuttering, "Ancestor, I’ll go, but... that peculiar guest, where is he? What does he look like?"
"Just now, his aura appeared for too short a time, so brief that I only knew he had arrived, without any other specific information! The only thing I can provide you is that this peculiar guest is associated with an aura of an Upper-grade Earth Level Demon Beast."
"Upper-grade Earth Level Demon Beast’s aura? The lowest grade Demon Beasts we have placed in the Trial Secret Realm are of Heavenly Level Lower Grade! Ancestor, I understand what to do now!" After saying this, there was a flash of light in the great hall, and Xuan Hu disappeared into thin air.
"Damn it, who placed this Trial Token? It disgusts me..."
As Ye Zhen emerged from the large intestine of a Green-Eyed Poisonous Frog, he was thoroughly frustrated, continuously pouring jars of clean water over his head from his storage ring,
until he had washed the filth off the surface of his Purple Jade Battle Armor. Only then did he remove the Purple Jade Battle Armor, holding in his hands pieces of water-patterned black snake scales, emitting strange power fluctuations.
Normally, once the scales and skin of Demon Beasts are detached from the body, even if they still contain terrifying power, this power is difficult to sense unless triggered.
Even if one could sense it, it would be a very subtle, very subtle power fluctuation.
However, the piece of water-patterned black snake scale that Ye Zhen had was still emitting a strong power fluctuation. The problem was that it genuinely couldn’t be stored into the storage ring.
In other words, obtaining a Trial Token meant becoming a human beacon, necessitating caution. This was because both warriors and Demon Beasts would be drawn to this unique power fluctuation.
"I’d better get out of here quickly!"
With a thought of Divine Sense, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten suddenly shot out from Ye Zhen’s arms, its size expanding to four or five meters as it continued to carry Ye Zhen in flight.
To travel quickly, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was essential. Although it couldn’t help Ye Zhen much in terms of strength, it was still faster than Ye Zhen, and by no small margin.
Just as the Cloud Winged Tiger King had flown less than a hundred miles, Ye Zhen’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, then he cheered, "It seems I’ve sensed another Trial Token, such good luck!"
Almost at the same moment that Ye Zhen spoke, a streak of light shot out from within the clouds and abruptly landed in front of Ye Zhen.
"Haha, what good luck, I just found a Trial Token and now I’ve detected another. Ye Zhen, I didn’t expect to run into you. My luck, tsk tsk!"
A man donned in the Longevity Sect’s robes suddenly appeared in front of Ye Zhen, a smile on his face.
Ye Zhen recognized him; the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, Zhu Ling, had introduced him. This man was Cui Zhixun, ranked third in combat power among the five Martial Artists from the Longevity Sect who participated in the Spirit Returning Assembly, with a cultivation as high as the peak of the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm.
The next moment, Cui Zhixun’s lips twisted into a playful expression, "Ye Zhen, hand over the Trial Token and then, I will give you an extremely quick death!
"Our Sect Master and commander specifically instructed that if anyone has the chance to kill you, they must torment you greatly, and even after killing, they must collect your Divine Soul to vent their pent-up frustration!"
Hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Ye Zhen’s face, followed by a light chuckle!
Cui Zhixun’s brows furrowed, his killing intent rising sharply, "What are you laughing at? What has a man about to die got to laugh about!"
"Err, alright, I’ll stop laughing!" Ye Zhen suddenly turned serious and shouted at Cui Zhixun, "Now, begin the robbery!"
"Hand over your Trial Token, um, leave your head, and I’ll give you a... painful death!" Ye Zhen’s words were almost identical to Cui Zhixun’s.
Ye Zhen was also amused by this Cui Zhixun. The Longevity Sect has such clowns?
He had once slain Yang Zhengxi, a combatant at the peak of Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm. Hadn’t Cui Zhixun heard of such deeds?
Ye Zhen felt that upon discovering him, a clown like Cui Zhixun should have run away immediately. How dare he still come up to rob?
After all, it was just that Ye Zhen’s reputation was not loud enough.
Cui Zhixun was startled, staring at Ye Zhen with wide eyes as if seeing something unbelievable, his face full of scorn.
"Ye Zhen, did I hear wrong, you actually dare to rob me?"
"You heard right, I am robbing you!"
"On what basis, just because of your Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm cultivation, or that trash Upper-grade Earth Level Demon Beast under you? I’ve killed quite a few Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Beasts!" Cui Zhixun looked at Ye Zhen, appearing amused.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen let out a light sigh, "Mr. Cui, how does your Longevity Sect view the statement that I killed the Helm Master Yang Zhengxi of the Xining Branch?"
"Statement? Ye Zhen, you think too highly of yourself. A rumor, you didn’t really believe it, did you?
"Within our sect, even the Sect Master has personally confirmed that Sect Leader Yang was lured by you into a trap prearranged by the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and was ambushed to death. You, you were just a bit lucky!" Cui Zhixun scoffed, "You don’t really think Sect Leader Yang was killed by you, do you?" Cui Zhixun laughed disbelievingly.
"Sigh!"
Ye Zhen shook his head in disappointment, "If that’s the case, then the reason you were killed today is because of the old goods from the Longevity Sect Master! Vanity kills people!"
Cui Zhixun’s expression became even more ridiculous.
Shoo!
A Shattered Jade Seal suddenly flew out from the front of Ye Zhen’s chest, and in an instant, it charged toward the mockingly smirking Cui Zhixun.
The moment Cui Zhixun sensed the Shattered Jade Seal from Ye Zhen, his expression suddenly changed, recognizing the terrifying power contained within the seal, even a fool could sense it!
A huge fist phantom flew out from behind Cui Zhixun, almost at the same time, Cui Zhixun threw a punch, and the phantom behind him merged with his punch, instantly causing his momentum to soar.
This was Cui Zhixun’s most proud and powerful Divine Martial Skill.
But in the face of this, it was nothing, not two words—accurately, three words!
"Suppress!"
Ye Zhen’s cold voice rang out, the Shattered Jade Seal suddenly sank, the Suppressing Radiance clashed fiercely with Cui Zhixun’s punch.
The next moment, Cui Zhixun’s expectant gaze suddenly filled with utter shock!
Because under the Suppressing Radiance of the Shattered Jade Seal, his punch was actually shattered!
Directly shattered!
Cui Zhixun’s eyes suddenly widened!
"Explode!"
Cui Zhixun only felt a dazzling brilliance before his eyes, and with a blast, his entire body uncontrollably flew out, crack—the Spirit Armor on him shattered directly, his body felt as if it had been struck by a large hammer.
When he opened his eyes again, Ye Zhen’s foot was pressing on his chest and throat, Spiritual Power continuously spitting out from the tip of Ye Zhen’s foot.
With just a thought from Ye Zhen, he could take his life.
Ye Zhen, however, nodded in satisfaction. Cultivation had increased from the Third Stage of the Soul Sea Realm to the Late Stage of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, and this enhancement in combat power was no joke.
Especially using a Martial Skill like the Shattered Jade Seal which could increase in power as his Cultivation improved!
Previously, when facing Sang Boquan who was also at the Peak of the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, Ye Zhen’s first Shattered Jade Seal could only shatter Sang Boquan’s Protective Spirit Armor and cause a minor injury, nowhere near enough to severely injure Sang Boquan.
Dealing with Sang Boquan took another Shattered Jade Seal!
But now, one Shattered Jade Seal from Ye Zhen severely injured Cui Zhixun, of course, this was somewhat due to Cui Zhixun’s slight carelessness! However, when facing Ye Zhen, even if Cui Zhixun were extremely cautious, what good would it do?
Cui Zhixun’s body couldn’t help trembling, death!
This wasn’t his first time facing death, but it was the first time his life and death were directly controlled by someone else.
"Yang Zhengxi really... really was killed by you..." For the first time, Cui Zhixun showed an incredibly shocked expression.
"Do you think I need to answer that question?" Ye Zhen sneered.
Cui Zhixun’s face suddenly became extremely pale!
"After you die, go find your sect master. It is his vanity that killed you!"
Is the vanity of Longevity Sect Master, Yin Changsheng, a fact?
Actually, it’s not.
As a sworn enemy of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, the Longevity Sect absolutely didn’t want to see a nearly deified young genius set up by the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!
If they, the Longevity Sect, also acknowledged that Yang Zhengxi was killed by Ye Zhen, and if the Longevity Sect couldn’t eliminate Ye Zhen for a long time, then who among the youth of the Longevity Sect would dare to move against Ye Zhen?
They naturally had to deny it!
"I always thought..." Cui Zhixun’s face was full of misery, "otherwise, how could I have come up here..."
"Understand now, right? Now that you understand, go ahead and die..."
"No, spare me, don’t kill me!" Cui Zhixun suddenly screamed in terror, were it not for Ye Zhen firmly pinning him to the ground, he would probably be kowtowing and begging for mercy now.
"I can give you the Trial Token, I can give you all my possessions!" Seeing Ye Zhen’s seemingly smiling expression, Cui Zhixun suddenly startled and hurriedly said, "Whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do!"
"What life-saving treasures did the Longevity Sect give to participants of the Spirit Returning Assembly martial artists?" Ye Zhen asked.
Ye Zhen asked this mainly because the Five Great Forces would all grant their warriors some life-saving treasures, and these treasures were all rare items.
Hesitating for a moment, Cui Zhixun then said, "I was given a Life-saving Jade Talisman personally refined by the sect master, and a drop of... Longevity Holy Water!"
"Longevity Holy Water, what’s that?" Ye Zhen suddenly became interested.
"Longevity Holy Water is the most incredible treasure of the Longevity Sect, a single drop can revive the dead, mend flesh and bones, no matter how severe the injury, once treated with Longevity Holy Water, it can immediately recover!"
"Oh, such great effects, where is it?"
Cui Zhixun hesitated a bit, "As long as you promise to spare my life, I will..."
"Idiot!"
With a cold scoff, Ye Zhen’s foot suddenly shot forward, directly blasting into Cui Zhixun’s heart.
"With such a life-saving treasure, could you possibly not carry it with you?" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to give recommendation votes, monthly votes at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
