Chapter 449: The Name of Ice Intent

"I knew it!"

Outside, Ji Mingyao let out a low shout, his entire body erupting with killing intent.

However, Ji Mengli, who was holding the jade talisman, threw it aside at this moment and charged into the villa alone.

"Ji Mengli, don't throw your life away!" Ji Mingyao spoke up; he knew Ji Mengli wanted to perform a meritorious deed, but that was Chen Yan, who might have already attained combat power far exceeding that of the other day!

At this moment, Ji Mengli gritted her teeth, a resolve to die appearing in her eyes.

She had lived as an undercover agent in Ji Province for twenty years; she had even thought she would die in Ji Province.

Ji Province was too powerful, and there were four other great nations like Ji Province.

The Great Xia, what could it use to win?

The emergence of Chen Yan, however, had allowed her to see hope.

Now, she had accepted an order to help Chen Yan escape danger.

She had not expected this.

She had not expected that just as success was within reach, it would be ruined by this Chen Manyan.

She wanted to kill Chen Manyan!

High above in the sky, no one cared about Ji Mengli.

At this moment, Chen Qi and the others were stunned; that Ice Intent was actually truly Chen Yan.

Lu Jianxia's eyes were even slightly reddened.

How could it be like this?

Inside the cultivation room.

Chen Yan was still continuing to speak, looking toward Chen Manyan:

"I understand you, the loyal heart that wishes to serve the Great Xia; I understand your reverence for Chen Yan.

The destruction of the Great Xia is fated, and the fall of billions of lives is a future that will surely come to pass; I do not wish to see it, nor do I wish to kill someone loyal to their own country."

Chen Yan's voice was cold, and the meaning of his words shifted abruptly:

"But eras change, national fortunes rotate, and peace is always built upon countless flesh and blood.

You are not wrong; you and I are simply in different camps."

Chen Manyan's gaze trembled, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Yan's voice continued to fall:

"Chen Manyan, you guessed wrong; I am not Chen Yan. Did your superiors not pass any information to you?"

Boom—

An ice spear condensed, and Chen Yan thrust it out.

Chen Manyan's eyes widened instantly, and at this moment, he looked at Chen Yan in terror:

"Mis—!"

Puchi—

Chen Yan's long spear pierced through Chen Manyan's forehead.

Chen Manyan, dead.

"I had to kill you; if I didn't kill you here, what would happen if you went out and denied everything you just said?"

Chen Yan murmured:

"You might have only been testing me, but you underestimated my, Ice Intent's, heart to organize the five clans and reshape the future."

As Chen Yan spoke, a coldness emerged in his heart.

The emotional perception of the Path of Will had saved his life too many times.

This Chen Manyan had always been ill-intentioned; if he didn't kill the other party, his heart would not be at ease.

Chen Yan was even worried that the other party had a sound-recording array disk on them, recording the conversation between the two.

That was why Chen Yan had said so much.

As for what happened afterward, Chen Yan still needed to find a way to explain it.

Within the Origin Space, the Child Lamp suddenly erupted with malice and a powerful suction force.

This was because Chen Yan had killed Chen Manyan, but since the other party was in the third echelon and their rank was lower than Chi Yi's, Chi Yi's rank did not change.

As for the malice and suction, Chen Yan could resist them; after all, Chen Manyan's rank was not high.

Boom—

Outside, someone was pounding on the door.

Chen Yan frowned and went to open the door.

"Chen—!"

Ji Mengli rushed in in an instant, her body filled with killing intent.

But she immediately saw Chen Yan and the corpse behind him.

Chen Yan frowned; he walked out of the cultivation room and looked toward the outside.

Figure after figure dispersed.

Ji Mingyao glanced at Chen Yan, then threw the jade talisman in his hand onto the ground.

"Ice Intent!"

High above in the sky, Chen Qi's voice, filled with anger, came down.

Chen Qi closed his eyes; what a farce this had turned out to be.

"It is nothing!"

He spoke.

Chen Yan understood the ins and outs of the matter immediately and simply bowed slightly toward the high heavens.

"Perhaps I misunderstood, but the coming great war is no small matter; I, Bing Yi, do not wish to see even a shred of error."

What a small mistake brings will be a devastating blow.

The rise of that Chen Yan is exactly like this."

Chen Yan's voice fell, and no one in the sky spoke.

Chen Qi frowned; this Bing Yi was indeed so vigilant that it surprised him, no wonder he always had to wear a mask.

Elder Chi Xun of Chi Province, who was always cheerful, narrowed his eyes at this moment.

To organize the Five Clans and reshape the future?

What grand ambition!

The other party truly wanted to do this.

Do all Heaven-Defying Prodigies have such grand aspirations?

Chi Xun was silent, but must the billions of living beings of the Great Xia die?

"Bing Yi, you did nothing wrong," Lu Jianxia said.

She revealed a smile, becoming more and more satisfied with Bing Yi.

Before, she had almost thought Bing Yi was Chen Yan; she had never experienced that kind of panic before, and now she valued Bing Yi even more.

Bing Yi is not a cold person; he has a sincere heart, but he also has his own aspirations.

Very grand aspirations, enough to make her tremble!

Chen Yan closed the cultivation room.

That Ji Mengli actually followed him inside.

She looked at Chen Yan, and at this moment, she was even a bit uncertain.

This person isn't Chen Yan, right?

It definitely isn't, right?

She had made a mistake.

Although Chen Manyan is not of the Xia clan, he had pretended so well just now, and Bing Yi had killed him without the slightest mercy.

This is not Chen Yan!

Ji Mengli grew nervous; there must be something wrong.

"Bring it here," Chen Yan said.

"W... what?" Ji Mengli's face turned pale.

"The Child Lamp, and the blood of Yu Yi!" Chen Yan whispered:

"Hurry!"

Ji Mengli's face trembled, and she hurriedly took out Yu Yi's Child Lamp and blood.

Chen Yan took these into his own space ring, and the moment he pushed open the door, he used cold energy to force Ji Mengli out.

"Get lost!" Chen Yan shouted in a low voice.

Ji Mengli widened her eyes, her eyes brimming with tears:

"Bing Yi, I..."

She wore a look of grievance, then ran away as if flying.

High above, Lu Jianxia watched and smiled faintly.

What level of person thinks they can seduce a Heaven-Defying Prodigy?

"Ultimate geniuses are all indifferent to women," Chi Xun said calmly:

"Lu Xunyang and Shen Yiwei are both indifferent to women, and Chen Yan also seems to have never had any developments in this regard.

I heard that Chen Changyuan's wife actually never shared a room with Chen Changyuan, and Chen Min was also picked up by Chen Changyuan."

Chen Qi nodded:

"That is indeed the case; this type of person has the firmest Dao heart and has long since abandoned worldly desires."

Lu Jianxia nodded; it was indeed so.

"Elder Chen, have you not sought..."

Chi Xun was still speaking when Chen Qi glared over instantly, and Chi Xun hurriedly shut his mouth.

…………

Inside the cultivation room.

Chen Yan injected Yu Yi's blood into his own fingertips to change his own aura.

He took out Yu Yi's Child Lamp once more.

A strange connection arose between Chen Yan and this Child Lamp.

No one expected that in the Five Clans Ranking, Chen Yan now had three accounts by himself.

The Calamity Corpse Divine Lamp is indeed third on the Divine Artifact Ranking, but the Child Lamp is not.

Chen Yan walked out of the cultivation room; he now had one less worry.

Just as he walked out of the villa area, Chen Yan suddenly saw Ji Mingyao walking out of his own room.

"Are you trying to ambush me?" Chen Yan shouted coldly.

Ji Mingyao's face looked ugly; how unlucky, he had just stepped out and encountered Bing Yi again.

He was now convinced that Bing Yi was not Chen Yan, and he did not want to meet Bing Yi again.

"I'm not ambushing you, it was just a coincidence," Ji Mingyao said.

"Ji Province, are you intending to become complete enemies with my Yu Yi?" Chen Yan shouted in a low voice:

"I am only targeting Chen Changyuan, but you all want to snipe me one by one; this is bullying people too much!"

"I already said I didn't!" Ji Mingyao shouted in a low voice.

Boom.

Thunder roared, and Chen Yan had already transformed into a thunder shadow to strike.

"Fight me!" Chen Yan shouted in a low voice.

Ji Mingyao's pupils constricted; Bing Yi had issued a challenge, and the connection between him and Bing Yi had been recorded by the Child Lamp.

"Bing Yi, you..." Ji Mingyao gritted his teeth, and as it happened, his hands were indeed itching for a fight.

He reached out with one hand, his entire body's cyan Qi and blood surging instantly to transform into a cyan blade.

The tip of the blade bloomed with array patterns, incomparably brilliant.

Chen Yan struck with a spear, the Triple Spear Realm erupting, his entire body's Qi and blood vibrating as he thrust the spear out, causing the void to ripple.

This spear strike had a terrifying momentum.

Blade and spear collided, sounding like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the surrounding air to hum.

Cracks in the void appeared instantly.

At the point of collision, a shockwave exploded, spreading rapidly in a ring shape to the surroundings; a giant pit hundreds of meters wide erupted on the ground, gravel flew, and grass and trees were all snapped.

"You!" Ji Mingyao was shocked instantly, finding himself within Bing Yi's spear realm.

Waves of extreme piercing intent were penetrating his flesh, and Bing Yi's Qi and blood were powerful to the extreme; the web between his thumb and forefinger was shattered by the vibration.

Chen Yan thrust his long spear again, the spear like a dragon, piercing into Ji Mingyao's shoulder blade.

The spear realm suppressed and killed, countless waves of extreme piercing intent instantly penetrating Ji Mingyao's flesh!

Puchi!

Blood exploded, and shattered bones burst.

Ji Mingyao was sent flying, his entire body covered in erupting bloodstains.

All around, the Five Clans List prodigies watched, each of them showing astonishment.

Ji Mingyao had lost!

Bing Yi was about to be promoted to the second rank!

At the same time.

High above, Lu Jianxia's eyes flashed, and she pointed a finger, causing the Five Clans Gold List to appear.

The name of Yu Yi, ranked second in the third echelon, vanished instantly.

Immediately following, it appeared at the twenty-first rank of the second echelon!

"Ji Mingyao is only twenty-fifth in the second echelon, but Bing Yi defeating Ji Mingyao allows him to charge straight to twenty-first, which shows that Bing Yi's strength hadn't even fully erupted just now!"

Lu Jianxia smiled, looking earnestly at Chen Yan on the ground.

You finally aren't hiding it; are you going to erupt?

Chen Qi's eyes also flashed.

A realm-breaking prodigy!

"How old is Yu Yi this year?" he asked.

"Twenty-one!" Lu Jianxia smiled.

"Twenty-one, to be able to reach the second echelon, is already one in a hundred years," Chen Qi smiled:

"It's just not as good as..."

He didn't speak further.

"Chen Yan is Chen Yan, Bing Yi is Bing Yi; Bing Yi is the one from the Five Clans, Chen Yan is our enemy!" Lu Jianxia said with dissatisfaction.

Ji Hai also had an ugly expression; Bing Yi was going to step on his Ji Prefecture to rise, and he was unhappy.

On the ground.

The remaining Five Clans List prodigies were all exclaiming in wonder.

In front of Chen Yan, three torrents of energy suddenly appeared; this was the reward from the Child Lamp.

Chen Yan immediately chose the one containing Qi and blood energy.

Rolling energy poured into Chen Yan's body, and Chen Yan's flesh even turned a translucent blue, constantly emitting a fluorescent glow.

Promoting directly from the third rank to the second rank, this reward was extremely terrifying.

It could be called three Sun-Level Grade D 【items】!

It was more than three times the previous amount!

Chen Yan's eyes flickered as he looked around and shouted coldly:

"Ji Prefecture, I, Yu Yi, am not someone to be trifled with; my previous concessions were only because I did not want to see strife arise among the Five Clans.

But from now on, I will not care about these things!"

Afterwards, Chen Yan rushed directly into the cultivation room.

Cultivate!

His True Essence Dharma Form currently did not even have a single one fully solidified.

Now with this extra surge of Qi and blood energy, perhaps he could solidify two more!

All around, Ji Clan prodigies appeared, looking at the blood-covered Ji Mingyao:

"Why did you provoke him for no reason? Don't you know he is the only prodigy from the Ji Prefecture to emerge?"

Ji Mingyao coughed up blood, his eyes still filled with shock, and he roared in a low voice:

"It's all Chen Changyuan's fault; he was the one who incited me!"

That person's expression turned cold:

"Chen Changyuan, this person cannot be left alive!"

He turned his head to look at Ji Mengli in the distance:

"And you, stop pestering Bing Yi, stop losing face for my Ji Province!"

Ji Mengli was startled, then hurriedly nodded.

Her heart was beating violently.

Chen Yan, so strong!

This was only Chen Yan's strength in the Blood Qi path.

Chen Yan is only seventeen years old, how on earth does he cultivate?

This is what a Divine General is!

Her face turned red.

"Ji Mengli, I already said it, don't think about good things, don't lose face for Ji Province!"

That person saw Ji Mengli blushing and barked again.

Ji Mengli was stunned, then left.

Above the void, Lu Jianxia frowned:

"A great war is about to begin, this is no time for romance. Principal Ji Haiyi, keep your clan's genius in check, don't delay Bing Yi's cultivation."

Ji Haiyi took a deep breath, and he exhaled heavily.

What the hell is going on?

His Ji Province guest elder Chen Changyuan is being hunted down, and Ji Mingyao was beaten into that state.

You still tell me to keep my heaven-gifted talent in check?

Damn it!

At the same time.

Jin Province.

"This..." Xia Qidu, sitting in a wheelchair, was dumbfounded:

"This Yu Yi is General Yan, right? He used Yu Yi's identity to enter the second tier?"

Behind him, Xia Hanzhou pursed his lips:

"Charging directly from the third tier to the twenty-first position of the second tier, that's about three Sun-level Grade D precious medicines.

I was still worried he would encounter danger, I didn't expect him to be doing better and better."

…………

Ji Province, Moshan Pass.

Smoke and dust filled the air, like a thick layer of gray gauze, shrouding everything between heaven and earth.

The land had long been soaked in blood, presenting a strange dark red color, muddy and unbearable.

Everywhere were severed limbs and broken arms, everywhere were broken weapons, everywhere were messy flags.

A broken mecha several thousand meters tall was deeply embedded in the earth, with a huge sword mark a thousand meters long upon it.

Behind the mecha.

Inside the military camp.

"Yu Yi, interesting." Luo Puxin sneered as he looked at the ranking list.

He was now missing an arm, and there was a deep bloodstain on his face, looking extremely overbearing.

He knew this Yu Yi was fake, that he had borrowed Chen Yan's name.

Their side didn't expose it, after all, what if Chen Yan came out of seclusion?

Now, he didn't expect this Yu Yi to actually reveal such talent.

"No need to care." In the main seat, Shen Yiwei spoke while wiping a blood-colored longsword:

"It's not bad that this Yu Yi is doing well. When Chen Yan comes out of seclusion, we can execute a plan to hunt Yu Yi, let Chen Yan disguise himself as Yu Yi to enter the Five Clans, and we can maneuver from the inside and outside!"

Luo Puxin was stunned:

"You are truly afraid of Chen Yan living a long life, even impersonating Yu Yi.

Chen Yan is a Divine General, your superior; if you see him, you have to bow your head and call him Brother Chen."

"As long as I can live until that time, it's fine."

Shen Yiwei smiled faintly, not caring much.

On the battlefield, anything can happen; everyone lives with their heads tied to their waistbands.

Outside the tent, someone shouted:

"Vanguard General, the Longevity King invites you to the main tent to discuss matters!"

Shen Yiwei stood up, his whole body overflowing with baleful aura, exchanged a look with Luo Puxin, and walked out of the tent together.

Outside, the Blood Sword Saint was sitting in front of a campfire roasting a rabbit:

"Little San Jin, let me tell you, the rabbit I roast is the most delicious."

"Mm." San Jin nodded hurriedly, taking notes on the side.

She wore white battle armor covered in sword marks, yet it could still reveal her tall figure, and her long hair was still stained with mud.

"Did you learn it?" the Blood Sword Saint asked.

"Lear... learned it." San Jin nodded:

"Can you teach me how to roast chicken legs?"

"How can you roast chicken legs? They must be braised; the ones you made last time didn't taste good."

"You... stole a bite!"

"I didn't steal a bite, I ate it directly. Wasn't it because Chen Yan couldn't finish it alone?"

"How... how could you... steal a bite?"

Shen Yiwei and Luo Puxin walked past from the side, exchanging a smile.

…………

Qin Prefecture.

Xiaoyang City.

The Grand Minister of Rites was still in a deep sleep; using the Star Ruler continuously had taken a great toll on her.

Jiang Yuan stood in the empty Military Guard headquarters and sighed softly:

"The feeling of not being an undercover agent is truly uncomfortable."

"Let's go to Ji Prefecture together." Yu Sixian walked out from the side with a smile:

"I'll collect your corpse and turn you into a puppet. You are very strong; a puppet made from you will surely be excellent."

"My good younger brother, if you can talk, then say some more."

Jiang Yuan swept a faint glance at this detestable younger brother of his and slapped him, sending Yu Sixian flying away directly.

"I want to go too," Jiang Yuan sighed softly, but Chen Yan was still in Lu Prefecture.

Right now, he still needed to continue digging more information out of Yu Yi's mouth.

The Yu Clan seems to have great ambitions.

"Chen Yan..." Jiang Yuan sighed softly.

This time, Chen Yan was trapped in a dangerous situation because of him.

He let out a sigh.

"You don't owe me anymore, Chen Yan," Jiang Yuan said, taking out a Five Clans Ranking; he naturally had many Five Clans Rankings.

Right now, he just wanted to see if Chen Yan was dead or not.

The next moment.

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened.

"How is it that you can find benefits to take everywhere you go?"
