Chapter 712: Another Jade Emperor Bell Fragment

Qi Songbai could never have imagined that his spiritual vein core had been taken away, and only at the final moment did he know.

Everything was already irretrievable; the spiritual vein core was lost, this spiritual vein no longer served any purpose, and his reliance was lost along with it.

The changes to his body stop here, forcibly halted.

He suffered a backlash, spitting out two mouthfuls of fresh blood; Qi Songbai glared venomously at the location of the spiritual vein, as if he wanted to devour Chen Chuyang alive on the spot. This scene fell into the eyes of the others, and they all turned to look at the spiritual vein; at that glance, everyone's spirit trembled and their pupils were shocked.

Tian Xin Dao Ren exclaimed in horror, "The spiritual vein has been taken away; the core of this spiritual vein is lost."

"Is this his handiwork?"

At once, Tian Xin Dao Ren suspected Chen Chuyang; apart from him, no one could accomplish this step. To extract the spiritual vein core in such a short time without Qi Songbai noticing—such a method, such a divine skill—no one else could achieve it.

At that moment, Tian Xin Dao Ren sensed Chen Chuyang's aura; that person had obtained the spiritual vein core and no longer concealed his aura.

"Indeed it is him; Chen Chuyang really succeeded. This person is truly unfathomably mysterious."

Give him a few years to set things up, and perhaps he could achieve this step, but he cannot extract it silently.

Tian Xin Dao Ren narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Chuyang's location, sinking into deep apprehension.

Since this person has obtained the spiritual vein core, the future of Longshe Shan will become even more terrifying. Most importantly is the foundation; what Chen Chuyang lacks is foundation. The spiritual vein is one of the strongest foundations, a point of pride for the Heavenly Heart Sect; now, that advantage may be gone.

Having obtained the spiritual vein, Chen Chuyang's future cultivation speed will become even more terrifying.

"This person cannot be allowed to return alive; we must find a way to kill him."

"Qi Songbai and he must both die; perhaps we can use the two of them."

Tian Xin Dao Ren fell into scheming, weighing the situation on the spot.

Mu Long Dao Long wiped his blade, did not step forward to block Qi Songbai, but squinted and stared at the distant aura of Chen Chuyang; he sensed that person's aura, an aura that disgusted him greatly.

Just like Qi Songbai, it disgusts him.

"The spiritual vein core has been taken, Qi Songbai's Advancement halted; he will not let that kid get away."

"That works too; the two will kill each other, and in the end this old fisherman gains the profit."

"The spiritual vein core belongs to this old fisherman; everything of the first generation Qihuang is also mine."

He had been waiting for this moment to arrive.

The Earth Snake Ancestor and Qi Jian stood together, fighting, and then paused.

Qi Jian turned back, his voice transmitted, "Earth Snake Ancestor, Qi Songbai is going mad; he will definitely kill that person."

The Earth Snake Ancestor raised his hand and said calmly, "Do not be careless; Chen Chuyang is hard to deal with, be extra careful, lest you be outwitted."

"Aside from Chen Chuyang, none of these people around are easy to handle."

"Qi Jian, be especially careful of the Heavenly Heart Old Ghost; this person is the most cunning, watch out for his ambush."

None of those present are simple.

The Earth Snake Ancestor knows these people well; outsiders from Tianwai may be unfamiliar, but he knows everyone in this world.

Chen Chuyang is very strong, with top‑tier talent; he naturally understands.

He naturally understood the scheming of Tian Xin Dao Ren; it is not easy to deal with.

"Once an opportunity arises, kill Tian Xin Dao Ren first."

Qi Jian heard this, nodded, "I know what to do."

Qi Jian gave a deep glance at Tian Xin Dao Ren, then looked at the nearby Mu Long Dao Long and Huangfu Xiu; these two were also not simple.

Aside from them, the most dangerous are none other than Chen Chuyang and Qi Songbai; it would be best if these two fought each other.

Especially Qi Songbai—if he were to slay Chen Chuyang, the others present would probably…

Huangfu Xiu kept away from the others, fearing a surprise attack.

This action naturally drew the attention of Tian Xin Dao Ren and Mu Long Dao Long, and the crowd once again rearranged their positions.

They formed separate small groups; once divided, each would become an enemy.

"These people are very dangerous."

"Without Qi Songbai as an enemy, these people might act against me."

"I alone would probably be in great danger."

Huangfu Xiu naturally knew the danger of these people; each one was dangerous and could strike him.

Everyone present had allies, but he was alone.

Very dangerous.

Inside the mountain peak, Chen Chuyang walked to a coffin, reached out, and pressed his hand on it.

The Formation on the coffin shattered in an instant.

Revealing the coffin's true form, Heishanyang followed closely, and Li Shenghong said, "Be careful; this coffin is no ordinary thing—it is a special Spiritual Artifact, a relic forged by Qi Songbai, very evil."

"Inside it gathers the many resentful energies that Qi Songbai collected; it is an essential material for him to complete his Advancement."

"Besides these, inside there are also some of Qi Songbai's treasures, and…"

Li Shenghong hesitated briefly, then continued, "Besides these items, there is one most important thing."

Chen Chuyang smiled and said, "Your corpse?"

Li Shenghong's eyes widened, his pupils trembling.

He looked at Chen Chuyang in disbelief, his eyes full of impossibility.

"How did you know?"

This secret, if he doesn't speak, no one knows.

But Chen Chuyang could state it accurately—this is too…

Heishanyang exhaled, "Kid, you're still a bit green."

Compared with Chen Chuyang, Li Shenghong has lived many more years, but he truly cannot match Chen Chuyang.

The coffin's Formation had already been dispelled; they arrived early and had long seen what was inside the coffin. Those formations and arrangements meant nothing to Chen Chuyang.

"A mere coffin can't fool this kid."

Heishanyang despised Li Shenghong, turned around, and said to Chen Chuyang: "Kid, hurry up, take your treasure; the great big guy outside is coming."

Chen Chuyang looked at Li Shenghong and laughed, "Is it you who opens it, or shall I help you open it?"

Li Shenghong stepped forward and said softly, "I'll do it."

This step requires him to do it himself.

Li Shenghong dared not delay; Qi Songbai was already heading this way, that person utterly insane.

He pushed open the coffin, and Li Shenghong saw the corpse inside, which was his own corpse from back then, sealed by the coffin; that was Qi Songbai's final trump card left for him.

"This corpse is mine; the rest, I give to you."

It seemed like a negotiation, but in fact it was asking Chen Chuyang's opinion.

Chen Chuyang nodded, "No problem."

Li Shenghong, having received the response, let out a sigh of relief and immediately set about taking the corpse away.

The remaining items were all Chen Chuyang's; Chen Chuyang glanced over, and there were quite a few other things in the coffin, all treasures, Qi Songbai's real treasures, among which was something that made Chen Chuyang's heart stir.

A black iron block, palm‑sized.

Engraved on it were formation patterns, yet no glowing flow.

"Huh?"

Chen Chuyang reached out, grabbed it, and upon close inspection was thrilled.

"Sure enough, it's this thing."
