Chapter 381
On the other side, Shangguan Canyue got the news of Chen Ang going to Wan Xingta and was also very angry. The original series of plans had to be temporarily stopped, and she had to make other plans.
She ordered her subordinates: "Alright, the plans prepared before are all suspended. Don't act rashly. Chen Ang is in the limelight, and the Dean is willing to make a move."
"A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late. Wait for a period of time, let him live well first. After a period of time when there is not such high attention, then choose to make a move."
"Wan Xingta side has already been scared. It seems we have to find new allies. We must never let him live so easily. I am not reconciled."
"Miss, do you really want to do this? I feel that this Chen Ang person is very dangerous. Since he hasn't discovered our traces yet, why don't we just forget it? There is no direct evidence that your brother's revenge was done by him. It's not worth it to put your life in for him."
Shangguan Canyue snorted coldly: "What do you want to do? My brother's revenge must be avenged. Even if I pay the price of my life, I must complete it. As a servant of my Shangguan Canyue, you dare to tell me what to do."
"Alright, you go down first. Send people to keep a secret eye on him. Don't report today's matter to my father. I will find a suitable opportunity to make a move on him. He won't live long."
Chen Ang just returned to Wuqu Academy when he was called over by Li Batian. Li Batian hoped that he could explore a secret realm together. There were vital treasures in the secret realm.
Hearing this, he agreed without hesitation. Not fighting doesn't make friends, not to mention that this Li Batian person has rich potential. Making friends with such a person will never suffer.
The three came to a desolate stone secret realm. This place is covered by endless deserts and countless rocks, but this secret realm made Li Batian very careful and cautious.
He reminded the two: "The demonic beasts in this secret realm contain highly toxic poison. Every step must be careful. You never know when they will come out to attack you."
"My purpose in coming here is to find the legendary Heart of the Earth. According to my master's description, the Heart of the Earth will be in this secret realm. Whether it can appear, I don't have much certainty."
Chen Ang said with a smile: "It's okay, rest assured, we will definitely accompany you to find the end. What exactly is this Heart of the Earth? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Li Batian began to explain: "The Heart of the Earth is equivalent to the core energy of this secret realm. It may be hidden behind rocks, or it may be hidden in the desert."
"It is the core that supports the existence of the earth-attribute secret realm. It is precisely because of this that the Heart of the Earth is very rare. If the Heart of the Earth in the secret realm is taken away, it will collapse."
"According to my current cultivation, my master wants me to come to this secret realm to take the Heart of the Earth, so I thought of you two. I will tell you in advance, if you feel there is danger, you can choose to leave. I am mentally prepared."
Wan Shitong said: "Rest assured, we will definitely help you obtain this Heart of the Earth. Your strength is so formidable. I believe that with the help of the Heart of the Earth, you should reach a transformation."
"At that time, you will count as a true powerhouse. Maybe I will need your help in the future. Among the Tier 9 powerhouses I know, your strength is very formidable."
Li Batian was very grateful for the help of the two. After walking for a while, they were blocked by a sand python. Li Batian had seriously analyzed and understood various mysterious species of this secret realm before coming.
He reminded: "You must pay attention. The strength of this sand python is Tier 8, but if you are bitten by it, even a powerhouse of the God Realm has no way. You must not fight head-on with it. Don't let its venom stain your skin, otherwise your skin will ulcerate and die."
Hearing the reminder, several people began to get nervous and didn't dare to act rashly. With no other choice, Wan Shitong asked tentatively: "Boss, why don't I try to see if the Nine Nether Underworld Flame has any effect on this sand python?"
"Master said that the Nine Nether Underworld Flame restrains all evil spirits in the world. I believe it will be helpful. This sand python threatens our life safety. If we don't solve it quickly, I guess it will attract more demonic beasts."
After speaking, Chen Ang agreed to the request and used the Nine Nether Underworld Flame to constantly force back the sand python. It seemed to be afraid of this flame, giving several people hope of survival.
Chen Ang said seriously: "The sand python is too close to us. We must find a commanding height to go up, carefully calculate the next plan, and if such a sudden situation occurs again, it will be difficult to handle."
After successfully forcing back the sand python, they found a place with a very open view to prepare to rest. Originally, Wan Shitong was prepared to kill the sand python, but was stopped by Li Batian.
"You must never do that. This secret realm is different from other secret realms. Any traces of bleeding will attract the surrounding demonic beasts. If you kill it, there will be many sand pythons looking for you later. At that time, if we want to escape, it will be a bit unrealistic."
With no other choice, Wan Shitong gave up the attack on the sand python. Now several people are confused. They don't know what to do next. The range of the Heart of the Earth is too wide, and there is no accurate feature, which is very difficult to find.
Chen Ang couldn't help but ask: "Have you asked your master what the Heart of the Earth looks like, or if there are any features?"
Li Batian shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry. My master really didn't say. I know that the energy fluctuation around the core of the secret realm is very strong. In the secret realm, it will definitely be sensed."
Chen Ang had a direction to look for: "The energy fluctuation is very large. We will look for it in this direction next. Maybe we can really find the Heart of the Earth. This place must not stay for long."
"From the situation just now, the Nine Nether Underworld Flame has a restraining effect on the sand python. As for other demonic beasts, I haven't understood them, but it should be about the same."
They must find the Heart of the Earth quickly. As they continued to explore, they found that the energy fluctuation was getting stronger and stronger. Until the entrance of the cave, they felt that the Heart of the Earth should be in front.
"Let's hurry up and try to get the Heart of the Earth early, and leave immediately. If it's too late, there will be changes. I always feel that a pair of dangerous eyes are staring at us."
Following the energy fluctuation, an earth-yellow stone appeared in front of them. The power erupted by this stone was infinite. Just when Chen Ang was about to pick it up, he was suddenly blocked by a mysterious demonic beast.
Li Batian said: "This is a Sand Eagle. It should be the guardian of the Heart of the Earth. You must be careful to deal with it. It will absolutely not allow us to take away the Heart of the Earth."
Hearing this, even Chen Ang was a bit worried. The cultivation of this Sand Eagle was not low, a Tier 9 peak demonic beast, one step away from becoming a Demonic King. This place is its home field, and there will be many inconveniences in acting.
355: Killing Purple Star Tower Disciples
With no other choice, Chen Ang and Wan Shitong began to resist the Sand Eagle. If they had the time for Li Batian to absorb the Heart of the Earth, the Heart of the Earth could be completely absorbed, and the three would have a chance to escape.
The Nine Nether Underworld Flame didn't have much use in front of the Sand Eagle, and the effect was not particularly obvious. With no other choice, he took out the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear and began to attack constantly, constantly harassing the Sand Eagle's attack rhythm.
Constantly absorbing the Heart of the Earth, the energy in the entire secret realm was flowing away rapidly. The Sand Eagle was very anxious, and the attack rhythm was getting faster and faster. Just when they couldn't persist anymore, Li Batian finished absorbing it.
Li Batian shouted loudly: "Chen Ang, run quickly. This secret realm is about to collapse. Without the support of the Heart of the Earth, if you don't leave quickly, you will all die here. Run quickly."
After hearing the reminder, he pulled Wan Shitong and ran away without hesitation. The Sand Eagle chased relentlessly, not giving any chance to escape. In the end, under Li Batian's cover, they luckily escaped at the moment the secret realm collapsed.
Li Batian said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry this time. I didn't expect the Sand Eagle's strength to be so powerful. It's all my fault for not being prepared in advance. These two are special pills left to me by my master. You recover your injuries first."
The two recovered almost enough. Just as they were about to leave, they were intercepted by the Purple Star Tower.
The leader laughed: "A few of you, I just saw the secret realm collapse, and there must be treasures on the three of you. We few usually don't have any skills, but we like to collect some rare treasures. Can you take out the treasure for us to appreciate?"
Hearing this, Chen Ang also counterattacked without hesitation: "I'm sorry, that thing was absorbed by us. It's impossible for you to want it. I advise you to be sensible and let us leave."
"It seems you really think you are very amazing. Obediently hand over the things, so as not to suffer physical pain."
Wan Shitong explained: "Boss, the Purple Star Tower is an intelligence agency in the Perished World. Its own strength is not so formidable, but almost all the powerhouses in the Perished World owe them some favors."
"Coupled with the fact that the Purple Star Tower is indifferent to the world, it is a very formidable force in the Perished World. No one is willing to offend the Purple Star Tower. However, looking at their clothes, their identities should be outer disciples of the Purple Star Tower."
"How about it? Killing them shouldn't be a big problem. Just now I saw that they all had killing intent. How do you decide?"
Hearing Wan Shitong's analysis, Chen Ang didn't be vague with him and said with a smile: "The treasure is in my hands. If you can defeat me, these are all yours."
After speaking, he picked up the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear and began to fight. Wan Shitong and Li Batian also joined the battlefield, beating the people on the opposite side until they had no room to fight back, and they were all beaten to the ground.
"You few have such poor strength, and you still want to come out to rob others. Isn't it a bit too arrogant? So what if it's the Purple Star Tower? Do you really dare to offend our Wuqu Academy?"
"Looking at your cultivation, you are all Tier 7 or 8. There isn't even a Tier 9. Who gave you the courage?"
The leader laughed: "Is that so? It seems you don't know our unique taboo means of the Purple Star Tower. Waiting for you on the Yellow Springs Road."
Wan Shitong reminded on the side: "Boss, this kid wants to fight for his life with you. Kill that kid quickly. Once the sacrifice is completed, powerful demonic beasts will come out. At that time, we will die without a burial ground."
But in the end, it was a step late. A huge Iron-Armored Rhinoceros appeared in front of everyone. Wan Shitong said: "Sacrificing one's own life force to summon a powerful demonic beast or magic beast, this kind of taboo technique is not allowed in the Perished World."
"Looking at the outer disciple uniforms they are wearing, being able to learn such powerful spells, it seems there is some trouble. Let's solve this Iron-Armored Rhinoceros first, and as for the rest, we'll talk about it later."
After Li Batian absorbed the Heart of the Earth, his own physical strength was much stronger, so he began to fight with the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros. However, the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros was wounded to the ground after a few moves and couldn't move.
"Hey, this Iron-Armored Rhinoceros is quite fun, but it's a pity that the bloodline degree is not high. I wanted to make it my mount, but it seems it's still lacking. In that case, keeping it is of no use."
A layer of earth-yellow rock appeared on the surface of the skin, and the earth-yellow armor improved Li Batian's strength and defense, making the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros particularly fearful.
Chen Ang couldn't help but sigh: "Being able to exert such great strength, the Heart of the Earth is indeed terrifying. I also want to take this thing, but it is too rare?"
Li Batian took out the demonic core and looked at it carefully. This kind of demonic core was no different from ordinary demonic cores. If there was any difference, it was that the energy was larger, nothing else.
"You can help me successfully absorb the Heart of the Earth. This demonic core counts as compensation for you. Whether you take it yourself or sell it to the market, it can also be sold for a good price."
Wan Shitong looked at these disciples of the Purple Star Tower and couldn't help but ask: "Boss, how to solve these people? The matter of us killing people cannot be known by others."
Chen Ang laughed: "That depends on whether they have value. As long as they have some value, those who know the current affairs are heroes. If they hand over everything they know, I will definitely consider sparing their lives."
He asked: "Speak, are you outer disciples of the Purple Star Tower? Why does it feel unlike it? And that taboo technique, obviously it is absolutely impossible to be a spell that outer disciples can possess."
That person had already been scared to pee and said quickly: "We are inner disciples of the Purple Star Tower. The person who sacrificed his life to make a move on you is the grandson of the Great Elder of our Purple Star Tower."
"We came out to play and specifically changed into outer disciple uniforms. Seeing the secret realm collapse here, we thought there were treasures appearing and wanted to rob you to get treasures. Your strength is so strong. This time it is my fault."
"Can a few heroes spare my life? I have old and young at home. I really can't die here. I will say everything I know. Can you spare my life?"
Chen Ang laughed: "I also want to let you leave, but if you leave, you will definitely report it. Dead people are the safest. Please close your mouths forever. You are right, right?"
After speaking, Li Batian killed several people. After these people were all killed, he destroyed the corpses. Li Batian's brain was not very good, but he also understood the truth.
If he let these people leave today and go back to tell the Great Elder about this matter, the Great Elder would definitely come to find trouble. I can solve the hidden danger, why keep them?
Following Chen Ang for this period of time, he learned a lot of things, and he also understood more and more what his master said. With such a person guiding by his side, he will definitely be able to live longer in the Perished World.
356: The Great Elder's Determination
When several people returned to Wuqu Academy, at the gate, Li Batian's master had been waiting for a long time and said: "I knew that following you, this kid would definitely have gains. It is really not easy to obtain the Heart of the Earth this time. Originally, I wanted to let him try, but I didn't expect that he could really obtain it."
Chen Ang was very curious about the Heart of the Earth, so he asked: "Senior, I don't know if you have any whereabouts of the Heart of the Earth. I also want to obtain one."
Hearing this, Wan Shitong's master said helplessly: "I'm sorry. There is indeed no news of the Heart of the Earth at present. The birth conditions are extremely harsh. Even I haven't found a second one. If there is news, I will notify you immediately. Don't worry too much."
"Regarding Li Batian's matter, thank you for your help. In the future, if you need me to return the favor, just tell me."
The three tacitly didn't make any response to the Purple Star Tower incident, and didn't want others to know about this matter. The less known, the safer.
On the other side, the Great Elder of the Purple Star Tower saw his grandson's soul lamp extinguished and woke up instantly, shouting angrily: "Who? Who killed my grandson?"
He ordered his subordinates to check his grandson's room. His grandson was naughty some time ago and was grounded for half a year. He should be in the room, but there was no figure. It seems he really ran out and was killed by someone. Who exactly could kill his grandson?
You must know that his grandson's strength is not bad. The soul lamp being extinguished shows that he used a taboo technique. Being able to force him to use a taboo technique must be a very hateful person. It seems he has to make plans as soon as possible.
He said to his subordinate: "Find a way to see where my grandson went? What happened? I want to know all the answers. Our Purple Star Tower hasn't had such a big event for a long time. I will report it to the Tower Master. You go get busy first."
The Great Elder came to the Tower Master's room. Who could have thought that the Tower Master of the Purple Star Tower was a woman? The woman had dozens of cards placed beside her. The Great Elder found the Tower Master with a nervous mood.
He knelt down and said: "Tower Master, my grandson was murdered. I don't have any evidence. I don't know if you can provide me with clues."
The Tower Master couldn't help but shake her head: "You are also an old man. You don't know the general situation, right? If I guess correctly, it should be your grandson provoking someone who shouldn't be provoked."
"It's better not to have too much involvement in this matter, or you will also fall into it and have life danger." ===== CHAPTER 382 =====
