Chapter 1024: Chapter 93: Kunlun and Tianpeng
Upon hearing this, the man in black hesitated and said, “The Five Demons of the Devil Mountain are also dead?”
“Dead, dead, they had the audacity to provoke that Sword Cultivator. Hehehe, it’s a pity though, I rather liked them. They occasionally brought so top-quality corpses.”
The tall, thin man chuckled as he spoke, all the while collecting the three corpses on the ground. Then he opened his palm to reveal two items:
“One earthly-grade magic treasure, or three Demon King Blood Cores of the Five Divine Power Realms, your choice.”
The man in black did not hesitate, directly taking the three blood cores and storing them in his Suru Bag, “Transaction complete.”
“Hmm? Don’t want this magic treasure? It’s a good thing, could save your life.”
“Lord Wuchang, please forgive . I’ve set my eyes on a suitable magic treasure and just lack so blood cores.”
Hearing this, the tall, thin man didn’t persuade further, nodded, collected the magic treasure, and sent him away.
As the bell on the eaves rustled again, he flashed and disappeared.
Only a faint echo sounded in the hall: “Chen Yi… The corpse of such a Sword Cultivator prodigy would be top-grade.”
“Really wish soone could kill him, and bring his body to the Yin Wind Tower.”
“Hehe… Should our Yin Wind Tower make a move?”
“No, no, business has its rules, and as businessn, we cannot break the rules. Let’s wait…”
At the sa ti.
Inside the tavern opposite the Yin Wind Tower, another martial artist who had left Blade Valley with the man in black was recounting the previous events and the dangers, with lingering fears.
“You guys have no idea how fierce that Sword Cultivator is.”
“Even Monk Shan Zhen from Vajra Temple died at his hands, and the other two, Wind and Thunder Stick and Nuo She, were killed with a single sword strike.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, you all should have seen that scene, the entrance to Blade Valley was utterly destroyed.”
Hearing this, the few beings drinking couldn’t help but comprehend:
“Young Sword Cultivator?”
“Could it be the sa one who just slaughtered the Five Demons of the Devil Mountain? He’s upstairs in a private room drinking with Ah Lang now.”
“Who? Seems like his na is Chen Yi, I didn’t catch it clearly, just know his cultivation and Sword Dao are terrifyingly strong.”
“If he killed Monk Shan Zhen, then we might have underestimated his strength earlier. A Great Power of the Seventh Realm of Divine Power wasn’t his match, and he could kill a Sixth Realm Divine Power with one sword strike, presumably he’s at least an Ancestor-level character of the Seventh Realm.”
“Impressive, impressive.”
“I heard from Ah Lang that he just ca up from the foot of Taizhou Mountain; with such strength and talent, it’s truly terrifying.”
“But why haven’t we heard of such a character before?”
The people in the tavern were buzzing with discussion but weren’t too surprised.
On this Taizhou Mountain, every day great powers fall, and new ones rise, nothing new.
It’s just like street rumors, only good for idle chatter.
However, there is a difference.
The subjects of previous idle chatter were mostly weaklings, whereas now they were discussing a suspected old monster of the Seventh Realm Divine Power.
“Speaking of which, I think I know who he is.”
“Hmm? Tell us, who is this Sword Cultivator?”
“Do you rember the White Tiger that recently appeared on the ‘Heaven and Earth Bridge’? It’s said that its master is a Sword Cultivator practicing the Slaughter Sword Dao.”
“And his use of the Slaughter Sword Dao Divine Intent when he killed the Five Demons of the Devil Mountain today was almost identical.”
“It’s him?”
Imdiately, several martial artists wearing short outfits exchanged glances and showed so seriousness.
“Not only that, I also heard he is a descendant of the Ancient Daoist Court, rumored to have the key to unlock the Ancient Daoist Court’s legacy.”
“Hah, how could a Sword Cultivator obtain the legacy of the Ancient Daoist Court? Even if his Slaughter Sword Dao obtained so favor from the White Tiger Divine Intent, it doesn’t an he’s a descendant of the Ancient Daoist Court, right?”
“Hard to say, because the one spreading this is that band of villains from the ‘Pure Land of Bliss’.”
“Trust them? If he’s really the heir of the Ancient Daoist Court, why hasn’t the ‘Pure Land of Bliss’ made a move? With their tyrannical and domineering nature, wouldn’t they have seized such a treasure?”
“Because backing Chen Yi is Daoist Zhao of Xunwang Heaven.”
“Uh, I think you guys are crazy. Daring to have any crooked thoughts about Daoist Zhao’s people, whether there’s a legacy or not, even if he does have it, do you think you’d survive to take it?”
Hearing this, so were tempted, others beca wistful, and yet others wore dark expressions.
It was apparently clear.
Even if Chen Yi really held clues to the Ancient Daoist Court’s legacy, or truly was its heir, it’s not sothing these less powerful great powers could covet.
What’s more, the previous speaker was right.
If Chen Yi really had the key to unlock the Ancient Daoist Court’s legacy, why didn’t the ‘Pure Land of Bliss’ make a move?
Instead, they spread the news around?
Given the domineering nature of the “General” Sun Xushi, such unusual behavior always raises suspicion.
“So everyone should just relax and watch. If you’re really looking to die, you’d be better off seeking a riskier secret realm with high returns, you might even gain sothing unexpected.”
“That’s a fair point…”
All this was, of course, clearly heard by Chen Yi, Ah Lang, and Yang Li upstairs in the private room.
“Fla Saber” Yang Li was a straightforward person, unable to hold back, blushing as he drank and asked:
“Brother Chen, everyone is saying you’re an heir to the Ancient Daoist Court. Is it true?”
Chen Yi glanced at him, shook his head with a smile, “Just a case of one mistake passing as truth.”
He couldn’t possibly admit it.
For the sake of ‘success through secrecy,’ not to ntion his current strength was insufficient to sweep away everything, he couldn’t bring trouble upon himself.
“Then why are the ‘Pure Land of Bliss’ people spreading such rumors? There must be so reason, right?”
“The reason is simple. I ruined several of their sches before and killed a few of their people.”
“Oh? You killed their people? And you’re still alive?”
Hearing Yang Li’s slip of the tongue, Chen Yi chuckled silently, even Ah Lang beside him couldn’t help but laugh and say:
“Lao Yang, your words are really interesting.”
“Brother Yi is alive because he’s highly skilled. If it were anyone else, they’d be long dead.”
“Plus you heard earlier, Brother Yi is now associated with Xunwang Heaven. Even the ‘Pure Land of Bliss’ General and his n wouldn’t co easily, so they can only resort to unscrupulous tactics.”
“Spreading rumors that Brother Yi holds so key to the Ancient Daoist Court’s legacy, hoping brainless people would trouble Brother Yi.”
“Just like this ti, wasn’t that Monk Shan Zhen from Vajra Temple killed by Brother Yi?”
Yang Li seed to understand, nodding, then shaking his head, sighing:
“Brother Chen is so strong, indeed if it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be caught up in the Pure Land of Bliss’s sches.”
Chen Yi smiled and didn’t pursue the topic further.
As he drank, he casually glanced upward.
In fact, ever since he set foot on Taizhou Mountain.
The realm that had guided him before was becoming clearer, according to the map, it should be a realm nad “Kunlun.”
According to the Xunwang Heaven map, the Kunlun Realm was the dojo of an Immortal from ancient tis.
But since that Immortal’s fall, the realm has turned entirely dangerous, even a Great Power of the Eighth Realm of Divine Power facing potential demise inside.
Chen Yi wasn’t too worried about this.
The more dangerous the place, the more likely it housed the Ancient Daoist Court’s legacy secret realm.
He just wasn’t sure if that realm was the destination of Xunwang Heaven’s current venture.
“By the way, which realm are we heading to for this secret realm?”
As they drank, Chen Yi queried Ah Lang through Sound Transmission: “There’s only about ten days until the secret realm opens, will we make it?”
Ah Lang put down the wine gourd, smiling, replied through Sound Transmission: “That realm is called the Weak Water Realm, within it lies a Marshal Mansion.”
“The secret realm we’re heading to is in the depths of that mansion, it’s said to be called ‘Tianpeng,’ an Immortal’s leftover Cave Mansion from the Ancient Daoist Court.”
Weak Water Realm, Marshal, Marshal Tianpeng Mansion?
Chen Yi’s expression remained normal, but inside he felt extrely strange.
Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy Mansion, Zhu Bajie??
Adding to this was the previous “Taiyi” who saved the Human Race, Kunlun, Tianpeng…
So the Ancient Daoist Court is— the Heavenly Court?
“Perhaps it’s just a coincidence…”
