"Xia Liu! You're forcing my hand!"
The soul was being torn apart, the Divine Sense was being severed.
The elder howled in heart-wrenching agony.
He resolved to employ a Secret Technique, elevating his own Cultivation by another half-tier.
Yet, just as he intended to make his move, a Sword Qi pierced through space from ten miles away.
A resonant voice echoed within the space: "Taiqing's Selfless Slash!"
Whistle, whistling!!!
The sound of breaking the air, the sound of explosions, endless and unceasing.
Just as the elder was about to cast a spell in resistance.
The Sword Qi actually penetrated through his body.
Pfft!
A mouthful of crimson red spurted from his mouth.
The elder never imagined.
That one day, he would be severely injured by a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator!
Moreover, the opponent had just advanced to the Foundation Establishnt Stage!
The elder's face quickly turned deathly pale, and the energy within him beca utterly depleted.
He could internally view his Dantian, where the Golden Core that once radiated Holy Brilliance.
At this mont, the surface of the Golden Core was covered with cracks.
If not for the elder desperately maintaining it, this Golden Core would have shattered.
It's because he devoted all his strength to keeping the Golden Core from shattering, his defenses were entirely exposed.
Now, if Xia Liu harbored homicidal intent.
He would surely perish.
If he relinquished the Dantian, his centuries of Cultivation would instantly unravel.
If not, the loss could very well be his life.
This ti's confrontation, he lost.
He lost completely and utterly.
No matter how he acted, Xia Liu was the final winner.
Even if today, the Golden Core was protected.
Yet, the cracks had already ford on it.
In no ti, it would also shatter.
Centuries of Cultivation, ended just like this…
The elder was unwilling, but now he was powerless.
The soft rustle...
When the sky cleared and the bright sunlight returned.
Xia Liu walked slowly on the sand.
Every step caused a heavy strike to the elder's heart.
Terror, trepidation, restless anxiety…
At just a few hundred ters distance from Xia Liu, the elder involuntarily retreated.
But he could not move far before Xia Liu was right nearby.
"What do you intend to do!"
The elder exclaid.
"I'm not interested in killing you; I simply want to know, how many high-ranking mbers of the Chen Kingdom are, like you, Chen Beixuan's lackeys."
Xia Liu spoke very frankly.
"Hmph! Just kill ! I won't tell you even in death!"
The situation had reached this point, and the Golden Core already had cracks.
Even telling Xia Liu now would not restore his Golden Core.
Since he was still here, let him have a quick end!
"Fine, I'll investigate myself."
Xia Liu shook his head helplessly.
Talking to this old guy was truly exhausting.
For now, he didn't dare stir up any energy.
Not worried for now about word getting to Chen Beixuan.
Once he unsealed Chen Yan.
It would be more assured to settle the score with Chen Beixuan then.
Ignoring the elder, Xia Liu flew on his sword further into the depths of the Imperial City.
As for the elder, just as Xia Li had said.
Now he didn't dare invoke any power.
If power wasn't used to protect the Golden Core, it would shatter, and his Cultivation would be entirely lost.
Now he could only wait for Chen Beixuan to arrive.
For Chen Beixuan to use external power to help stabilize his Golden Core.
But that was only a temporary asure.
To repair the Golden Core.
He would still have to find a renowned doctor, or a stronger High-Rank figure.
If no treatnt thod were found, in at most three months, his Cultivation would fall to zero.
He would have no further destiny with the immortal path.
After half a day of travel, Xia Liu bypassed the Imperial City, intending to head directly to the area where Chen Yan was located.
Before long, a figure in a black robe stepped onto the placid surface of the lake.
On the lake's shore, Chen Yan sat atop a smooth rock, wielding a polished bamboo rod.
"Hmm? Is it you?"
Looking at the figure in a black robe on the lake, Chen Yan felt a sense of expectation.
Years ago, Chen Beixuan did not kill him and even ensured he was well taken care of.
All so he could witness the powerful future under Chen Beixuan's rule over the Chen Kingdom.
Chen Yan offered no comnt.
In terms of governance, Chen Beixuan had done quite well.
As a king, he was quite qualified.
But devouring people's talents, that is not behavior befitting a Righteous Path Cultivator.
Even if he is the Controller of this world, he cannot be forgiven.
"Sir, Xia Liu has arrived as promised."
A few ters away, Xia Liu halted and respectfully spoke.
"Young Friend Xia, you are considerate! Truly thoughtful!"
Unable to use Divine Sense, yet Chen Yan's sixth sense was sharp.
He could feel that Xia Liu had grown stronger.
And not just a little bit stronger.
Whereas before, if his strength was akin to a youth just entering adolescence, now, he was a young man who's weathered life's storms!
"Senior, could you promise
sothing?"
Xia Liu asked.
"Please, go ahead."
"After overthrowing Chen Beixuan, you must govern the Chen Kingdom well."
"Naturally, that was originally my responsibility, only forcefully taken by Chen Beixuan."
Upon seeing the thriving Chen Kingdom, Chen Yan no longer blad Chen Beixuan much.
But ever since that incident occurred, he's been intent on sending Chen Beixuan to the Netherworld.
The Chen Kingdom cannot harbor such a bloodthirsty demon!
"Alright, then let
unseal you imdiately!"
"So soon? No other preparations needed?"
The situation was too sudden, Chen Yan hadn't prepared anything.
"I grievously injured a Golden Core Stage expert several thousand miles away, worried about being discovered by Chen Beixuan, so the sooner the unsealing, the better."
"You injured a Golden Core Stage expert?"
Chen Yan thought he misheard and quickly analyzed.
The result was certain, that's indeed what Xia Liu said!
"Yes, my Energy Body is quite special, able to battle beyond my tier, but facing multiple Golden Core Stage individuals might not be feasible, thus to overthrow Chen Beixuan, your strength is necessary, Senior."
"Frightening! To battle a Golden Core Stage being at Foundation Establishnt Cultivation!"
Seeing Xia Liu nod, yet with a humble deanor, Chen Yan was almost brought to his knees.
Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core are vastly different Ranks.
For Xia Liu to disregard Rank and grievously injure a Golden Core Stage expert with his current Cultivation.
Truly, a hero erges young, a hero erges young indeed.
Without further ado, Xia Liu brought out the silver needles.
Infusing them with Wood Spirit Power to protect Chen Yan's internal organs and brain consciousness.
Then, using a domineering Golden Spirit Force, he employed the thod of fighting poison with poison, to either consu or destroy all the Supre-Grade Golden Essence sealing Chen Yan's Energy Body.
The Golden Essence in the Sea of Consciousness was also destroyed in the sa way.
After about two Ancient Hours.
Xia Liu removed all the silver needles from Chen Yan's body.
The treatnt process, though painful.
But Chen Yan did not emit a single shout or cry.
One could well imagine, how many years he endured for this day!
"Power long missed!"
When the Sealing was undone, Chen Yan clenched his fists tightly.
The surging power within him, caused his blood to boil.
Decades!
At last!
He finally unsealed it!
"Young Friend Xia! At this mont, many thanks!"
Saying this, Chen Yan moved to kneel, but how could Xia Liu let him do so.
"Senior Chen Yan, please don't be so formal, once you've fully recovered, I too will need your assistance."
