Chapter 688: Huangfu Xiu

Heishanyang raised his head, smiling narrowly, and said: "Kid, actually I don't oppose you looking for other women; someone as strong as you finding it hard to resist temptation is quite normal. Qi Ruohua, this woman, has great poise and is outstanding; no man can resist her."

"You don't need to blame yourself, nor need to worry; I won't tell Hongxue that girl."

Zhuge Ruolan followed up, saying: "Qi Ruohua really lowered her stance to tempt you; you can't resist, it's quite normal."

"I just hope you don't fall for her too quickly; that woman's intentions aren't pure, I'm afraid that once you're with her, you'll be tied to the Great Qi Dynasty, and then you might regret it."

Heishanyang reminded: "The Great Qi Dynasty is no simple matter; anyone who gets involved with them ends up badly. Kid, you should still be careful—you can be with Qi Ruohua, but don't let the Great Qi Dynasty implicate you."

One person, one sheep, each saying a sentence, not giving Chen Chuyang a chance to speak; in a few words they defined this incident.

Chen Chuyang looked at the two of them, not knowing how to respond, so he simply didn't explain.

Explaining this kind of thing too much only amounts to smearing.

Even Qi Ruohua is like that; as for him, sigh.

"The Qihuang Bao Ku is about to open; this entrance is not small, and we cannot stop others from entering."

At that entrance's location, the formation began to collapse, or rather, the entrance's mystic power grew increasingly terrifying.

A beam of light shot up into the sky, straight to the heavens; the entire Wangdu could see this beam.

Those clans, those cultivators, all turned their gaze this way, and many people came over.

The commotion was great; Chen Chuyang, seeing this, pulled Heishanyang and the others aside, making way. The Qihuang Bao Ku entrance opened, needing someone to go in and scout, and those people could just take their place.

The Black Dragon Guard also was perceptive; seeing Chen Chuyang and company leave, they followed suit and stopped surrounding the area.

Qi Ruohua gave a few orders to Jing Yuheng; some Black Dragon Guards vanished, and the White Wolf Vice Hall Master and Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master disappeared on the spot, no longer remaining here; they will not enter the Qihuang Bao Ku, and without Qi Ruohua's command, they dare not act on their own.

Jing Yuheng came to Chen Chuyang's side, bringing several Black Dragon Guards; these Black Dragon Guards were her specially chosen capable assistants.

Qi Ruohua lingered a moment, then vanished in place.

The battle here has nothing to do with her, or rather, she trusts Chen Chuyang, and also trusts Chen Chuyang.

The crowd surged forward; many cultivators began to charge, most of them being loose cultivators.

Among them were mixed some clan members, who incited many people to come, taking the opportunity to enter the Qihuang Bao Ku.

Chen Chuyang stood with arms crossed, watching them go in; many entered, and those who entered encountered no danger.

It seemed, everything went smoothly.

"Kid, the Qihuang Bao Ku has opened, the commotion is great, attracting many people nearby; those people are all after the treasures of the Qihuang Bao Ku, unaware that their fates were sealed the moment they entered."

"Their sacrifices can let the Qihuang Bao Ku feast heartily, and perhaps even awaken the slumbering souls."

"We're not in a hurry; let them go in first to test the waters."

Heishanyang chose to wait on the spot; not only them, but many others around were also waiting.

Nobody was in a rush to go in; first let those people enter to see the situation, and if there's no problem, they'll follow.

The entrance to the Qihuang Bao Ku opened, very strange and also very sudden; maybe it's fake, intended to lure them in.

Quite obviously, this entrance is real.

"Quite a few strong ones have come; those people are all not weak."

Chen Chuyang glanced over and saw several strong ones; these were people he had never seen before.

Either they are people in hiding, or they are some old monsters.

Unable to hold back, the Qihuang Bao Ku's temptation is too alluring; those who want to live, those who want longevity, all go into the Qihuang Bao Ku.

It is rumored that inside the Qihuang Bao Ku there are treasures that can increase lifespan, as well as various heavenly materials and earthly treasures; finding just one could change a lifetime.

Many people go for the rumors, and some come for longevity.

Among them, Chen Chuyang saw a familiar figure.

The Yin Gui Sect's Yin Gui Zhenren was actually there; he concealed his identity, not having a special soul aura, perhaps he had hidden it all along.

Yin Gui Zhenren noticed a pair of eyes staring at him; following the gaze, he saw nothing.

Chen Chuyang, Heishanyang, and the others had long been hiding, concealing their identities; others could not recognize them, nor find their whereabouts.

"Strange, just now I seemed to feel a gaze upon me."

"Have I been recognized?"

"Or perhaps I've run into an acquaintance?"

Yin Gui Zhenren looked around, couldn't spot Chen Chuyang's whereabouts, so he gave up.

Half an hour passed.

Those who should go in have gone in; few people remain on site.

Those people entered one after another.

Chen Chuyang began to go in slowly; Heishanyang followed behind, Zhuge Ruolan and Li Shenghong caught up, and Jing Yuheng was surely with Chen Chuyang—if you have a thick thigh and don't cling to it, isn't that courting death?

After the crowd entered, many more followed.

After about two hours, the entrance closed automatically.

The surrounding mystic phenomena faded; those who should go in have gone in, and latecomers have no chance to enter.

Qi Ruohua ordered the Black Dragon Guard to surround the entrance perimeter, designating it a forbidden zone; no one may approach.

"Anyone who comes out from inside will be captured by me; none may escape."

"If one escapes, White Wolf Vice Hall Master, you bring your head to see me."

The White Wolf Vice Hall Master dared not defy, bowing and saying: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master, have you kept watch on those clans inside Wangdu?"

The Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master stepped forward, clasped his hands and bowed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been watching; those clans cannot escape, and as soon as Your Majesty gives the order, I will immediately wipe them out."

"Good, for now don't act rashly; keep an eye on those clans, and do not allow them to leave Wangdu."

"Anything they have done must be reported to me."

Qi Ruohua coldly ordered, those clans, they are all her major threats.

She had killed a batch before; the rest were inconvenient to act against. For the dynasty's stability, she chose compromise.

This time, an opportunity has come; she will wield the butcher's knife again.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Inside the Qihuang Bao Ku.

A figure stood on a pile of corpses, holding a blade stained with fresh blood; corpses lay beneath the figure's feet.

Those corpses were all people who had entered from Wangdu; most were loose cultivators, and some were clan disciples, all of them killed.

They became one of the wandering souls of the blade.

Huangfu Xiu gave a cold smile: "Truly fragile; no one can withstand a single strike from me. These people are utterly useless."

"I hope to meet someone who can make me draw my sword."

He leapt forward, landed steadily, wiped the blood from the blade, and Huangfu Xiu walked ahead; not far off, light flickered as someone descended.
