Chapter 720

On the other side, the Tian Xin Dao Ren who had fled Wangdu sensed something, stopped, and turned back.

"What is that?"

"The Earth Snake Sealing Grand Formation; the Earth Snake Ancestor, that undying old thing, sacrificed his own flesh to cause the Qihuang Bao Ku to collapse."

"I wouldn't have thought he'd dare abandon this body."

Tian Xin Dao Ren naturally knew the identity of the Earth Snake Ancestor, and also knew that this was merely a clone of some undying old thing; in fact, there was no difference from the main body, both having been cut from the same flesh.

"That undying old thing is indeed doing well; after all these years, he remains just as lecherous."

"Hiding deep within Wangdu, this time he acts; it seems he does not want to see Chen Chuyang and the others return alive."

"He failed to obtain the spirit of the Qi Family's pine and cypress, so he simply destroyed it all—truly ruthless."

Tian Xin Dao Ren narrowed his eyes and gave a cold smile.

"Once the Earth Snake Ancestor makes a move, he will surely be targeted; that woman Qi Ruohua is no pushover."

"As long as one stays within Wangdu, it is hard to avoid her gaze."

"Having exposed himself, Qi Ruohua will surely come after him sooner or later; deep down, Tian Xin Dao Ren has sentenced that old monster to death. A mere formation cannot kill Chen Chuyang; the collapse of the Qihuang Bao Ku will trigger a spatial collapse, and by using the resulting spatial turbulence to kill Chen Chuyang, this plan is not bad."

"Too bad, it won't work on that brat Chen Chuyang."

"Chen Chuyang isn't that easy to kill; the Earth Snake Ancestor's scheme will come to nothing, and even his true self will be sought out by Chen Chuyang, after which that old monster will surely be slain by Chen Chuyang."

"That's fine too; with him keeping watch, Chen Chuyang will have no time to deal with me, and once I return to the Heavenly Heart Sect, I'll be safe."

Tian Xin Dao Ren glanced again, then turned and left.

He dared not linger a moment, striving to return quickly to the Heavenly Heart Sect to hide.

Not long after he left, Mu Long Dao Long appeared, watching his retreating back, grip tight on the blade, almost striking.

His killing intent slowly subsided.

Mu Long Dao Long said coldly: "Tian Xin Dao Ren, you're lucky."

He turned his gaze, fixed on where Wangdu lay.

Mu Long Dao Long's eyes narrowed, staring intently.

Soon after.

Mu Long Dao Long finally spoke: "As expected, the Earth Snake Ancestor and the Qi Sword will not relent; I hope this move will seriously wound that brat."

Killing Chen Chuyang is unlikely.

Mu Long Dao Long deeply feared him and did not want to leave just yet.

Perhaps, taking advantage of Chen Chuyang's injury, we could kill him.

After hesitating for a long time, Mu Long Dao Long still chose not to leave.

Gazing at the not‑far sky, Mu Long Dao Long said icily: "Come out, Huangfu Xiu."

Huangfu Xiu stepped forward, holding his sword, looking down from above.

That glance gave him no regard at all.

Seeing this, Mu Long Dao Long's anger flared.

Huangfu Xiu, do you want to exchange a few moves with me?

Chen Chuyang couldn't beat him, but this Huangfu Xiu, Mu Long Dao Long fears not.

Huangfu Xiu lowered his head, his calm eyes fixed, and said ruthlessly: "You are strong, but I do not wish to fight you."

Mu Long Dao Long laughed upon hearing that.

Then you came to seek my alliance?

To jointly deal with that brat?

Huangfu Xiu nodded: "Not bad; that brat has what I need, and you also want to kill him—let's join forces, how about it?"

Mu Long Dao Long pondered a moment, then nodded with a smile: "All right."

Compared to Tian Xin Dao Ren, Huangfu Xiu is far more trustworthy; at least he won't turn on me at a crucial moment like Tian Xin Dao Ren would.

He extended his hand.

"Brother Huangfu Xiu, may our cooperation be pleasant."

Huangfu Xiu nodded, did not extend his hand, turned and fixed his gaze on Wangdu.

"That person is strong; we need not act immediately, for the Earth Snake Ancestor's move will surely make him bear a grudge."

"The Earth Snake Ancestor and he will surely clash; then we will seize the opportunity."

Mu Long Dao Long came to Huangfu Xiu's side, gazing at Wangdu, and chuckled: "Just as I thought."

Within Wangdu, there is yet another old monster.

And there is the genius of the Qi Family.

Once Chen Chuyang emerges, he will surely deal with them; then they will strike again, like the oriole waiting behind.

The two exchanged a glance and gave a cold smile.

……

Entrance to the Qihuang Bao Ku.

A rift opened.

Chen Chuyang walked out, followed closely by Heishanyang and the others.

Before them, countless poisonous snakes surged forth, covering sky and earth.

The dense mass of poisonous snakes opened their mouths and sprayed toxin.

Chen Chuyang spread his hands, and rolling thunder erupted.

All the snakes that drew near were instantly reduced to ashes.

Having shielded those behind him, moments later the rear exit vanished, and the Qihuang Bao Ku collapsed along with it.

The people who had come out were still frightened, looking at the poisonous snake before them and the great formation under their feet.

Heishanyang stepped forward and opened its huge mouth.

"Swallow."

In one gulp, it swallowed all the poisonous snakes and poisonous mist.

The surroundings were instantly cleared.

A Formation emitted an eerie red light; Chen Chuyang glanced at it and pointed a finger.

The Formation's core was found in the surroundings, and then it shattered.

"Heishanyang."

"Here you are, kid."

Heishanyang immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the flesh and blood of the Formation's core.

In one gulp, it swallowed all the flesh and blood.

From then on, the Formation was shattered.

All that flesh and blood entered Heishanyang's mouth.

"So satisfying."

Heishanyang let out a satisfied moan; all that flesh and blood went into its stomach.

"Kid, is there more?"

It was still not satisfied, wanting more flesh and blood; these flesh and blood are all good stuff.

It tastes far better than Qi Songbai.

Chen Chuyang said nothing, seized a remaining piece of flesh and blood, and examined it.

His eyes pierced through the flesh and blood, seeing its core.

After a moment, Chen Chuyang threw that piece of flesh and blood to Heishanyang, which opened its mouth and swallowed it.

"If you want to eat, there's naturally plenty more."

He gazed deep into Wangdu; within a certain layer of space, he saw a pair of eyes.

Likewise, that pair of eyes also saw Chen Chuyang.

Their four eyes met.

Chen Chuyang's mouth curled up as he said, "So you were hiding here."

That pair of eyes quickly withdrew; he knew he had been exposed.

"Swish-swish."

Several figures descended; Qi Ruohua approached immediately.

"Chen Chuyang, are you alright?"

Showing concern, there was none of the previous icy menace.

Chen Chuyang shook his head: "I'm fine."

Qi Ruohua looked behind Chen Chuyang, saw Jing Yuheng, and also saw the Black Dragon Guard; they were all there.

She nodded in satisfaction; indeed, following Chen Chuyang, safety was no problem.

Jing Yuheng immediately stepped forward, arriving behind Qi Ruohua.

The Black Dragon Guard also knew what to do; they immediately dispersed to guard the surroundings.

"Your Majesty."

Jing Yuheng wanted to speak, but Qi Ruohua raised her hand, signaling her not to.

"This place is not good for talking."

Jing Yuheng closed her mouth.

She was very tactful.

Qi Ruohua said to Chen Chuyang, "Let's go inside Wanggong to talk."

Chen Chuyang nodded: "Okay."

The group headed toward Wanggong.
