Chapter 238: Shao Hengyang, How Pitiful!
A thousand words and ten thousand phrases converged into a single "Ah."
Shen Yiwei's expression at this moment was exceptionally rich.
Five Crossings of the Golden Body?
You're joking with me.
You, Chen Yan, are of the Lu Xunyang lineage, the most monstrous genius in physical tempering I have ever seen.
Why would you undergo the Five Crossings of the Golden Body in the path of Blood Qi?
Shen Yiwei's expression was as rich as his emotions were.
However, at this moment, no one paid any attention to Shen Yiwei.
Because after Zhang Luobai spoke those words, the others were also lost in their own shock.
Among the prodigies from Cloud Dream City, deep astonishment appeared in the eyes of most.
What they didn't notice was that the complexity of the expressions on Xu Di and Shen Youning's faces was exactly the same as Shen Yiwei's.
They had once participated in the operation to help Chen Yan ambush the assassins and knew the secret that Chen Yan was Bing Yi.
Although they had already accepted that the Heart-Questioning Stele could not reveal this secret to the outside world.
But in the end, they themselves knew it.
"This has to be fake..."
Xu Di spoke in astonishment, looking at a figure beside him that was identical to Chen Yan.
Xu Di did not know this was a formation puppet, so his first reaction was that the Ice Wing in Xiaoyang City was a fake.
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"
At the very front, Zhang Luobai spoke, his eyes still mixed with a trace of horror at this moment.
"Five Crossings of the Golden Body..." Zhang Ting's expression was strange, and he immediately turned to look at the scorching white pillar of light that shot straight into the sky behind him.
At this moment, he opened his mouth wide, slowly digesting the information.
"Hahahaha, oh my, Acting Chief Zhang Ting suspects that Bing Yi is the culprit who hid the Ancient Dream Divine Beast, and now that Bing Yi is advancing, why doesn't Acting Chief Zhang go find him directly?"
A burst of laughter rang out as Zong Heng, the red-haired Minister of the Qinzhou Military Martial Guard, spoke.
He was not that afraid of Zhang Ting.
After all, although the Military Martial Guard was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Martial Suppression Division, it was actually appointed by the Xia Imperial Clan.
Zhang Ting could move a city-level Military Martial Guard Minister, but he could not move a state-level one.
To move him, he would have to report to the Xia Imperial Clan.
All around, the experts of the Martial Suppression Division, whether appearing in the open or hiding in the shadows, were also filled with horror at this moment.
Pairs of eyes looked toward the downtown area of Xiaoyang City.
"Five Crossings of the Golden Body, not seen in a hundred years; I wonder which crossing he can pass."
"I fear this is another Chen Changyuan, tsk tsk."
"Acting Chief Zhang has been suspecting Bing Yi all along; he should just go and arrest him."
"Go on, go on! This Bing Yi is so monstrous, the Heavenly Canopy Boxing Tournament must value him highly. Forget it, his Heavenly Canopy Boxing Tournament is worth nothing; Zhang Ting can crush him with one finger. If one finger doesn't work, then two fingers."
One voice after another rang out.
Zhang Ting's expression changed again and again, until at one moment he shouted coldly toward a spot in the void:
"Ma Hun, I respect you as a senior and won't hold it against you, but if you keep spouting nonsense, the Martial Division will invite you for tea!"
In the hidden space, the old man curled his lips, not caring at all.
Zhang Ting's eyes turned cold as he looked at Shen Yiwei.
The Ancient Dream Divine Beast had disappeared, and he did indeed suspect Shen Yiwei, just as he suspected Bing Yi.
But this rhetoric was, in the end, intended to make Shen Yiwei retreat in the face of difficulties and leave Xiaoyang City.
It was just that he hadn't expected it.
The very Bing Yi he used to persuade Shen Yiwei to retreat was actually undergoing the Five Crossings of the Golden Body.
Zhang Ting remained silent, while Zong Heng on the side smiled and looked at Shen Yiwei:
"Little Shen, shall we go take a look together?"
Shen Yiwei's eyes flickered, many thoughts surfacing in his heart; he took a deep breath and nodded:
"Alright!"
Beside them, Zhang Ting's expression shifted.
"Zhang Ting, the Five Crossings of the Golden Body are not often seen. If you get close, you can even hear the Sound of the Martial Dao. Little Shen's realm has fallen, he needs this!" Zong Heng said coldly and indifferently.
"Uncle Shen, let's go in and take a look." Zhang Luobai's eyes flickered as he spoke.
He naturally hoped that the situation would calm down.
If things really blew up, the only one to suffer would be the Martial Suppression Division.
It was now clear that they couldn't stop Shen Yiwei, and his personal invitation was also a way to give his father a way out.
Zhang Ting's expression was sullen, and after that, he said nothing more, his hands behind his back:
"Since it concerns my junior brother's own realm, I will not stop you.
But after watching the Five Crossings of the Golden Body, return as soon as possible, do you hear me?"
Zong Heng's expression turned cold, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Shen Yiwei.
"Yes." Shen Yiwei nodded.
In an instant, the tense situation was resolved.
Zhang Ting disappeared.
Shen Yiwei looked at the vast Xiaoyang City, his heart feeling extremely complicated.
Xiaoyang, Xiaoyang, was named after Lu Xunyang.
Ever since losing to Chen Changyuan, he had never returned to Xiaoyang City.
Under the mediation of various parties, it had become difficult for Shen Yiwei to enter again.
Today, he had only arrived before the city, and it had already caused such a massive disturbance.
Everything was because of strength.
Without strength, things would be this difficult.
Never expected, never expected indeed.
Never expected that today's difficult problem would be resolved in such a way.
Chen Yan.
Shen Yiwei recalled the way this person looked when they first met; who could have imagined that in such a short time, this Chen Yan would have become so brilliant and talented to this extent.
"Enter the city!" From the side, Zong Heng laughed out loud:
"I'm not spouting nonsense; the Sound of Martial Dao does not appear often, and for someone like you whose realm has fallen, it is a heaven-sent medicine!"
The first crossing of the Five Crossings of the Golden Body is the rising of the Sound of Martial Dao, making the eyes clear and bright.
As long as the Five Crossings of the Golden Body have not ended, this Sound of Martial Dao will not disappear.
Shen Yiwei took a deep breath, then suddenly smiled with relief:
"Enter the city!"
Shen Yiwei walked with extreme speed, turning into a streak of light as he rushed into Xiaoyang City.
Within the hidden space came bursts of laughter and sighs, all full of complexity.
Geniuses like Shen Youning and Shao Hengyang had also made further progress.
"Sister Youning." Zhang Luobai followed beside Shen Youning and smiled.
Shen Youning's expression was calm; she just nodded quietly.
Zhang Luobai looked at Shao Hengyang and the 'Chen Yan' beside Shao Hengyang, his face showing surprise:
"Is this that Chen Yan, the General Star of Breaking the Firmament?"
"Yes." Shao Hengyang nodded.
Zhang Luobai gave a faint smile and then stopped caring, continuing to follow along.
Shen Youning turned her head to look at this 'Chen Yan'.
Along the way, she had not noticed anything unusual about this 'Chen Yan'.
But why would Bing Yi suddenly appear in Xiaoyang City?
In this world, there cannot be two Bing Yis; she was somewhat anxious and wanted to go see.
Time passed slowly.
A pillar of light that reached into the clouds descended before Shen Youning and the others.
The profound and light Sound of the Dao fell upon their ears.
Roar!
A massive dragon roar resounded through the heavens and earth.
An ice dragon soared within the pillar of light, receiving the cleansing of the Martial Dao.
A tall, slender figure wearing black robes and a white mask sat cross-legged upon the ice dragon.
The person's appearance was obscured by the mask, but the cold aura they exuded was felt extremely clearly by everyone.
Flowers of white lotus containing an ethereal aura bloomed beside the black-robed youth, like fluttering immortal sleeves, as if carved from jade.
This scene was like an ascension, like an immortal banished to the world.
The sense of shock it brought to Shen Youning and the others was a bit too intense.
"Damn it!"
Xu Di cursed in a low voice, his gaze locked on the youth within the pillar of light, and then he suddenly looked at the 'Chen Yan' before him.
He wanted to curse loudly.
In the end...
In the end, which 'Chen Yan' is the real one.
"Damn it!"
Shao Hengyang also cursed in a low voice, looking at the 'Chen Yan' beside him, gritting his teeth:
"Chen Yan, cultivate, listen to the Sound of Martial Dao, and absorb the Dao essence!"
Shao Hengyang took a deep breath:
"Chen Yan, the college entrance exam holds great opportunities, and you and I have the authority of proctors, perform well!"
As he spoke, he found it hard to continue.
He froze.
Why was he comforting Chen Yan?
He still remembered the scene where Chen Yan defeated He Youtong with a single punch.
It was just that he did not notice that at this moment, the gazes Xu Di and Shen Youning directed at him were actually somewhat pitying.
Beside Shao Hengyang, 'Chen Yan' showed shock, yet remained silent throughout.
The reason for showing shock was that the formation puppet itself would manifest the emotions that a human should have.
Remaining silent was because the less one said, the less likely one was to reveal problems, and it also matched Chen Yan's usual personality.
It was just that Shao Hengyang and the others did not know these things.
Shao Hengyang sighed.
Even Chen Yan was shocked.
Up ahead, Zhang Luobai swept a glance over the shocked crowd, his mind deep in thought.
Yet he did not show any look of disdain; instead, he spoke in a very friendly manner:
"The Sound of the Martial Dao is extremely precious. For Bing Yi to have held on until the Third Crossing is already very impressive; it is highly likely that this is the limit.
The Five Crossings of the Golden Body could end at any moment, so everyone, do not waste this—take the time to comprehend it well."
What he said was very fair, and he did not deliberately look down on Bing Yi.
After all, even Chen Changyuan had only managed to hold on until the Fourth Crossing back then.
That Bing Yi could hold on until the Third Crossing had already shocked him.
The crowd seemed to wake from a dream, and at this moment, they hurriedly closed their eyes and sat cross-legged.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Luobai nodded.
The conflict between his father, Zhang Ting, and Shen Yiwei was extremely deep, but as a member of the younger generation, he did not need to get involved.
There was also no need to deliberately distance himself from Shen Youning and the others.
Moreover, he could understand that regardless of whether it was his father or Shen Yiwei, their original intentions were good.
Yet, it was also at this moment.
Hum!
The Sound of the Martial Dao that resonated across the sky suddenly became even more profound.
A man's voice, filled with astonishment, rang out.
"The Fourth Crossing, Dharma Form Ringing, the Qi and blood of the four limbs flow through!"
