Chapter 382: Buddy, the pie you drew is so fragrant

Chen Yan had no idea that a powerhouse was currently roaring incessantly because of him.

Inside the Blood-Scent Device, Chen Yan was imbued with Thunder Haze, and the rolling Qi-blood energy nourished his physical body like nectar and dew.

As the radiance descended, every particle of Chen Yan's body was filled with the Spirit of Qi-blood.

The path of elements and the path of Qi-blood were progressing simultaneously.

If he could, Chen Yan would be willing to stay in a place like this for his entire life.

On the Saint-Breaking Tree, individual 【Blood】 Saint-Breaking Fruits and 【Origin】 Saint-Breaking Fruits were ripening.

The existence of the Saint-Breaking Tree accelerated the progress of Chen Yan's growth.

It made this already immense fortuitous encounter even more terrifying.

Time passed slowly.

A flash of electricity flickered in Chen Yan's eyes, and his aura became even more profound.

【Saint-Breaking Tree (Level 8): 10/200】

This absorption yielded a bountiful harvest!

Five 【Blood】 Saint-Breaking Fruits, three 【Origin】 Saint-Breaking Fruits!

His left arm of the Qi-blood Divine Body was fully forged, and the quality of Chen Yan's thunderous Qi-blood had also reached Morning Star Grade B!

The total amount of Qi-blood had doubled, and the lethality of the Qi-blood quality had increased by five or six times.

This meant that Chen Yan's strength on the path of Qi-blood had increased by more than ten times.

Chen Yan felt a bit covetous; he had only pulled a single bolt of thunder from the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder, yet it had improved his thunder quality by so much.

What if he could absorb it all?

In this battle, Chen Yan had indeed invented an absolutely powerful ultimate move, which was the eruption of the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder.

But the problem was, this move could only be used as a last resort when there was absolutely no other way.

Because once Chen Yan used it, he would also completely lose his combat effectiveness.

If there were still enemies at that time, even if it were just a First-Order martial artist, they could obliterate Chen Yan.

Therefore, it would be better to refine all of the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder.

But the problem was, the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder seemed to have become even more powerful after Chen Yan's slaughter.

Chen Yan was still deep in thought.

However, the communication array disc on his arm transmitted a disturbance, and Jiang Yuan's voice came through.

"Stop absorbing! The detection array disc I planted has detected a Seventh-Order martial artist coming!"

Jiang Yuan almost roared the words.

Boom!

In an instant, Chen Yan opened the door of the Blood-Scent Device and flew out desperately, utilizing the Xun Thunder and his protective patterns.

Jiang Yuan was stunned; he hadn't expected Chen Yan to be so decisive.

Chen Yan's speed was extremely fast; his first priority was not to escape through the exit, but to use the Xun Thunder to split the earth and dive into the fissure he had carved out.

Chen Yan had never fought against a Seventh-Order powerhouse, but he could be certain that the sensory abilities of a Seventh-Order powerhouse were absolutely formidable.

Therefore, Chen Yan did not choose to flee through the air, but to burrow into the ground.

More importantly, there were only five minutes left until the Blood-Scent Device self-destructed.

The traces left by Chen Yan's earth-burrowing would be destroyed by the explosion.

Jiang Yuan's eyes trembled.

How clever; why hadn't he thought of that?

Subsequently, Jiang Yuan jumped directly into the fissure Chen Yan had cut.

"You aren't good at burrowing, let me!"

Jiang Yuan roared lowly, his hands erupting with dim yellow flames; earth-element Qi-blood surged, and he began to control the surrounding earth to shift.

"Impressive!"

Chen Yan sighed sincerely; having Jiang Yuan as a teammate was truly reassuring.

"How could the Aristocrat Alliance have a Seventh-Order?" Chen Yan asked with a frown, following Jiang Yuan as they burrowed deeper into the earth.

"Of course they do. How could a massive organization capable of dominating a province not have a Creation-Realm expert?" Jiang Yuan said:

"Luo Dongli's father is a Seventh-Order, and several elders of the Luo Chen are also Seventh-Order!

However, neither of them is a match for Chen Changyuan; Chen Changyuan is one of the few powerhouses who can defeat a Seventh-Order at a lower realm."

Chen Yan's expression changed slightly; he had still underestimated the Aristocrat Alliance a little.

"Then what is Zhang Ting's level among the Seventh-Order?" Chen Yan asked again.

"As the Governor of a province, Zhang Ting is the strongest Seventh-Order in Qin Province, but Chen Changyuan has the courage to fight Zhang Ting.

If Shen Yiwei hadn't run into trouble, he would have reached Chen Changyuan's level too, what a pity...

What is certain is that as long as Chen Changyuan advances to the Seventh-Order, he will be enough to become one of the heroes of the world."

Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice:

"The perception of a Seventh-Order is extremely powerful. I'm not at ease; follow me deeper into the underground!"

Chen Yan nodded; Jiang Yuan possessed the earth element and could manipulate the earth.

After he excavated the soil in front, the soil behind would fill in the tunnel behind them.

This could indeed mask their auras to a great extent.

Outside, above the chemical plant that was still burning.

An old man with graying hair, wearing pitch-black battle armor, looked at the scene below, his breathing becoming incredibly rapid in an instant.

"Who did this, Chen Yan!!!"

A voice of thunderous rage resounded.

The old man stepped forward, instantly appearing inside the chemical plant, the bloody scene before him coming into his view.

In the corridors, on the stairs, and in the shattered offices, there were severed limbs and arms still dripping with blood, and murky blood flowed everywhere.

"Chen Yan!!!!"

The old man roared, the wrinkles on his face bunching together, a terrifying aura continuously spilling out from his body.

And it was at this very moment.

Boom!!!!

A deafening, earth-shattering roar!

As if the heavens were collapsing and the earth splitting, rolling flames surged out from the depths of the underground factory.

The force of the explosion blasted outward in all directions, glass shards flying like sleet.

The ground caved in, and the entire underground factory was blasted into dust in an instant.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The old man, wearing black battle armor, rushed out from the firelight, the armor trailing wisps of blue smoke.

He stood high in the sky, looking at the completely destroyed underground factory, his heart dripping blood.

The old man pointed a finger, and a screen of light appeared, within which was the figure of Chen Changyuan.

"The Tenth District is destroyed!!!" the old man roared in a low voice.

Chen Changyuan's expression stiffened; he looked through the light screen at the raging flames below, his face as gloomy as water.

"You should have told me sooner!!!" the old man bellowed, bloodshot veins surging in his eyes.

"I told you the moment it happened; you were too far away," Chen Changyuan said gloomily:

"Where is Jijun?"

"You ask me, how would I know?

Everything here is destroyed, Jijun is likely dead too!"

The old man's expression was incomparably sorrowful; he was Chen Jijun's grandfather.

"It must have been that little beast who brought people to wipe this place out!" the old man roared:

"He is declaring war on us; he became the top scholar, Chen Qi also came for him, he is emboldened and wants to fight us to the death!!!"

Chen Changyuan's expression was also incredibly ugly.

Why was it such a coincidence?

Why did he strike at the exact time he left Xiaoyang, and why did he happen to leave before the Luo Chen Seventh Rank arrived?

At this moment, even Chen Changyuan gritted his teeth, the gloom on his face almost congealing into water.

How could he not understand now that Chen Yan had deceived Chen Xiyuan and Chen Jijun.

He had even found powerful teammates and infiltrated the interior of the Aristocratic Family Alliance.

Murderous intent surged in his eyes.

How much time had passed, and this Yunmeng branch member he had looked down upon had actually grown to this point.

Now, has he already bared his fangs at him?

"Interesting!" Chen Changyuan roared in a low voice; he rarely had intense emotional fluctuations, but Chen Yan had achieved it.

Immediately, he looked at the old man:

"He definitely hasn't run far; go kill him, don't let him return to Xiaoyang!"

The old man nodded with an ugly expression.

The next moment, he took out mechanical devices one after another, including purely mechanical radar systems and tracking systems combined with arrays.

His perception expanded, not letting go of even the slightest fluctuation of aura.

Chen Changyuan also watched the old man operate the systems.

Immediately, tens of thousands of electronic flying insects were released by the old man from a box forged of black gold, flying toward the high sky.

"I must catch him!"

The old man's eyes were scarlet:

"My Luo Chen's one hundred Origin Realm experts were punished by the main family because of him!

Now that Chen Qi is not in Xiaoyang, no one can protect him!

I will swallow his flesh and drink his blood!"

He clenched his fists, the blood vessels all over his body wriggling like worms.

However, he was destined to be in vain after all.

He had guessed Chen Yan's escape direction wrong from the very beginning; it was not flying into the high sky at maximum speed at all.

Rather, it was moving deep into the earth in a vertical direction.

…………

Jiang Yuan and Chen Yan kept fleeing toward the depths of the earth.

After digging for dozens of kilometers, Jiang Yuan stopped.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yan asked.

"I'm taking a break," Jiang Yuan said with a sheepish laugh.

"Let me do it."

Jiang Yuan was startled and said:

"You don't have the Earth Element..."

Just as he finished speaking, Chen Yan had already unleashed his Qi and blood; this time he did not use Annihilation and Xun Thunder, but instead used pure Qi and blood energy to invade the surrounding earth, controlling the earth to make way.

Jiang Yuan was stunned; Chen Yan learned so quickly.

He just wanted to say something, but he quickly discovered something was wrong.

"Your blood-Qi volume..." Jiang Yuan opened his mouth wide:

"You've advanced to the Dharma Truth Realm?"

"No," Chen Yan spoke:

"My blood-Qi volume has always been this much."

Jiang Yuan was full of suspicion:

"I feel like you've become much, much stronger. Did you discover a great fortuitous encounter?"

"No," Chen Yan looked at Jiang Yuan:

"We are teammates, we cannot be suspicious of each other. Look, the moment I discovered the secret vault, I came to find you to share it."

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

Chen Yan continued:

"I feel that being a First-Rank General Star is just a title; being able to befriend a teammate like you is what's most crucial.

We will go to the battlefield together in the future; we will be life-and-death comrades!"

Chen Yan's words left Jiang Yuan at a loss.

"If I am appointed General, I will immediately petition the Sovereign to revoke your status as an undercover agent. Your talent is extremely strong; being an undercover agent is too much of a waste of your talent."

Jiang Yuan just wanted to speak, but Chen Yan said again:

"I intend to make a move against the Aristocratic Family Alliance. You are absolutely the comrade I value most.

When the time comes, you and I will share the resources, be ranked among the Divine Generals, make Qinzhou flourish, make the world prosperous, and let future generations honor you and me!"

After Chen Yan finished speaking, Jiang Yuan let out a long sigh.

He didn't expect that Chen Yan had actually moved him.

The other party had painted such a huge pie!

"Chen Yan, you..." Jiang Yuan's throat felt dry.

"Jiang Yuan!" Chen Yan's eyes were bright:

"If your dream doesn't scare you, then that dream must be a failure!"

Chen Yan patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and said:

"Besides, you are the head of the Second-Rank General Stars; this dream is not unrealistic for you!"

Jiang Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

He suspected that Chen Yan was a latent psychologist.

At this moment, he was actually moved.

Although he knew Chen Yan might be fooling him.

But it sounded fucking great.

Buddy, the pie you painted smells so good.

No.

Jiang Yuan shook his head. Usually, wasn't he the one who went around fooling others?

How come today he was almost fooled himself?

But it sounded so good.

Right, what was it I wanted to ask just now?

Jiang Yuan pursed his lips, feeling it was better to communicate less with Chen Yan.

This person is strange; perhaps he can see through the human heart.

Jiang Yuan and Chen Yan kept digging underground for a long time, not stopping for the whole night.

"Sigh, the precious herbs placed in our origin space are about to completely lose their vitality."

Jiang Yuan sighed.

But at this time, no one would joke with their own life.

Outside, there was a Level 7 martial artist hunting them down; all they could do at this moment was use everything to avoid the pursuit.

Until the next day, Chen Yan and Jiang Yuan were still underground, but they didn't continue digging deeper; instead, they dug toward a certain direction.

At the same time.

The Blood Sword Saint, who was still looking for Chen Yan, had eyes that were red.

Deacon Hu was miserable, being carried around by the Blood Sword Saint like a chick, feeling that he had absolutely no future.

"Sen... Senior, if you find Chen Yan, will you let me go?" Deacon Hu spoke with difficulty.

"If I cannot find Chen Yan, I will torture you to death." The Blood Sword Saint let out a low roar; at this moment, he had already flown out of Xiaoyang City, constantly searching.

"What if you do find him?" Deacon Hu breathed with extreme difficulty.

The Blood Sword Saint didn't speak, and Deacon Hu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Regardless of whether Chen Yan was alive or dead, he was going to die.

His mind was shaken; in order to find Chen Yan, the Blood Sword Saint had exposed the relationship between Great Xia and Chen Yan to him.

And he, as an insider, would definitely die.

Deacon Hu felt life was meaningless; he was wrong, Chen Xiyuan was wrong, and even the Great Elder Chen Qi was wrong.

That Chen Yan had long since gained the absolute trust of the Xia clan.

Perhaps...

Deacon Hu could hardly breathe, thinking of a possibility.

"That Lightning-Striking Treasure Land, could it be that it was prepared specifically for Chen Yan?!"

The Blood Sword Saint's expression was cold and grim:

"He is the future Divine General of our Great Xia; if anything happens to him, even if Chen Qi comes, I will kill him too!"

The Blood Sword Saint no longer cared; Chen Yan had still not been found, and he felt he had already caused a great disaster.

Deacon Hu would surely die without a doubt.

"Son of a bitch, it's you Chen clansmen who are harming Chen Yan!" the Blood Sword Saint growled low, killing intent permeating the air.

Deacon Hu's eyes trembled, as if ten thousand bolts of thunder were surging within his brain.

…………

Xiaoyang City.

"Lu Xuanzhi, the top scholar of Luzhou, invites Chen Yan, the top scholar of Great Xia, to come out and fight!"

The booming shout echoed across the entire sky of Xiaoyang.

Under the gaze of the masses, Lu Xuanzhi, clad in blood armor and radiating a scarlet mist of light, stood above the clouds with an ugly expression:

"Chen Yan, are you still not coming out!"

His voice rolled in waves, parting the clouds.

He had already come to issue the challenge yesterday.

As a result, that Chen Yan did not show himself.

Today, he issued the challenge again, but Chen Yan still refused to appear.
