Chapter 448: Ran Deng appears, the heroes pressure Kun Peng

In the Star Fall Abyss, a river of blood stretched across the sky. Ancestor Ming He stepped upon the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Yuantu and Abi swords suspended behind him, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.

Kun Peng looked at Ming He, his expression gloomy.

"Ming He, do you also wish to fish in troubled waters?"

Ancestor Ming He let out a laugh.

"Kun Peng, don't put it so harshly."

He raised a hand, and the river of blood surged behind him.

"I am merely kind-hearted; seeing you surrounded, I came to lend a hand."

Zhen Yuanzi watched him with cold eyes.

"Ming He, if you wish to interfere in this matter, I shall suppress you along with him."

Ancestor Ming He turned his head to look at Zhen Yuanzi, his smile undiminished.

"Zhen Yuanzi, your friend has been dead for countless years; have you still not let go?"

Zhen Yuanzi did not answer, directly activating the Earth Book. A yellow divine light spread out, pressing directly down upon the river of blood beneath Ming He's feet.

The river of blood sank under the pressure, and the smile on Ming He's face faded by half.

"Good, very good. You all want to ask about the whereabouts of the Primordial Violet Qi, yet you refuse to let me ask. What kind of logic is that?"

Doumu Yuanjun held the Star Dou Divine Seal, her gaze sweeping over Ming He before falling back onto Kun Peng.

"Kun Peng, if you surrender now and follow me back to the Heavenly Court, I can spare your life."

Kun Peng threw his head back and laughed.

"Spare my life? What arrogant words!"

He looked at Ming He and said, "Ming He, do you truly believe I obtained the Primordial Violet Qi?"

"You used the 'lure the tiger away from the mountain' tactic, your clones wreaked havoc in the Three Realms, and your true body snuck into the outer realms. Now you tell me you didn't get it?"

Ancestor Ming He took up the conversation.

"Kun Peng, although I am no good man, I am no fool either."

"You went to such great lengths, and now you say you returned empty-handed."

"Do you even believe that yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Kun Peng's hatred for Su Chen deepened.

He was hating him to the point of madness in his heart.

Su Chen had escaped.

The Primordial Violet Qi had been startled away, that little thief had also run off, and now this group of people was still surrounding him, demanding the item.

Thinking of this, Kun Peng's heart stirred, and he shouted directly:

"The Primordial Violet Qi was startled away by that little thief Su Chen!"

"That little thief had the Chaos Bell above his head, using the Innate Supreme Treasure to suppress time and space, severing my refinement."

"If you want the Primordial Violet Qi, go find him!"

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the few people in the Star Fall Abyss varied.

Doumu Yuanjun and the other two naturally knew that Kun Peng spoke the truth, but they did not speak to confirm it.

Ancestor Ming He, however, stared fixedly at Kun Peng.

"You say the Chaos Bell appeared?"

Kun Peng sneered.

"You arrived late and didn't see it; a human little thief with the Chaos Bell above his head just left."

Ancestor Ming He's eyes rolled slightly, seemingly weighing the value of the Chaos Bell against the Primordial Violet Qi.

Just at this moment, Buddha light suddenly lit up in the void of the Star Fall Abyss.

An ancient lamp broke through the darkness; the flame was not large, yet it shone so brightly that the river of blood retreated.

An old monk walked out from the lamp light, draped in a kasaya, holding a Qiankun Ruler, with brilliant Buddha light behind him.

This was the arrival of the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng, who had originally been secretly searching for traces of the True Demon in the Three Realms.

Great Emperor Zhenwu frowned.

"Why has the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng come here instead of staying at Lingshan?"

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng glanced at Zhenwu.

"The matter of the Demon Master has already alarmed the Three Realms; since I saw changes in the outer realms, I naturally had to come and investigate."

Ancestor Ming He scoffed.

"Old thief Ran Deng, those words might fool a little novice, but not me."

"As soon as news of the Primordial Violet Qi came out, you ran faster than anyone."

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng did not get angry.

"Since Fellow Daoist Ming He has also come, why mock me?"

The two looked at each other, and the blood light and Buddha light collided in the void, emitting a muffled sound.

Kun Peng looked at Ran Deng, the anger on his face deepening by another degree.

"Ran Deng, do you also believe their words?"

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng looked at Kun Peng.

"Since the Demon Master says the Primordial Violet Qi was startled away by Su Chen, then please explain clearly."

"Why did you know the Primordial Violet Qi was here? And how did Su Chen know you were in this place?"

"Otherwise, how can one be convinced?"

As they spoke, several more Semi-Sage auras arrived in the Star Fall Abyss, though the newcomers did not show themselves, merely spying from afar.

Once news of the Primordial Violet Qi spread, those old monsters who usually never showed their faces could no longer sit still.

Kun Peng looked around, and suddenly laughed.

"You want to know?"

"Fine, I will tell you."

He raised a hand and pointed to the Primordial fragments that had already largely collapsed.

"This place is a corner left behind after the Primordial world shattered; it does not enter the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms, nor does it manifest karma."

"That strand of Primordial Violet Qi is hidden right here."

"I obtained the opportunity and accidentally learned it was in this place, but Su Chen followed me with the Chaos Bell and launched a sneak attack while I was refining the Violet Qi."

"He severed my Great Dao connection with one axe, the Chaos Bell startled the Violet Qi, and the Violet Qi escaped into the void."

Ancestor Ming He listened in silence for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"That was well said, but I do not believe it."

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng said in a low voice, "I do not believe it either."

Doumu Yuanjun said coldly, "Whether you obtained it or not, once you are suppressed, it will naturally be clear."

She and Zhen Yuanzi exchanged a glance; seeing more and more people arriving, they feared that delay would lead to changes, so they acted in tacit agreement.

Zhen Yuanzi sacrificed the Earth Book, unleashing the Mountain-Suppressing divine ability. A phantom of mountains and rivers rose from the outer void, transforming into a great formation that directly enveloped Kun Peng.

Doumu Yuanjun also acted at the same time; the Star Dou Divine Seal flew up, and 365 rays of starlight pierced through the chaotic void, pinning down the area around Kun Peng.

Kun Peng's expression changed; the Demon Master Palace roared open, ancient demon texts rushed out to block the mountain and river phantom, and the North Sea Sword swung down, slashing toward the starlight chains.

And just as Zhen Yuanzi and Doumu Yuanjun made their move, Ancestor Ming He also acted.

The Yuantu and Abi swords behind him flew out simultaneously, one slashing toward the Earth Book's mountains and rivers, the other hacking toward the Star Dou Divine Seal. The blood-colored sword light traversed the Star Fall Abyss, its killing intent tearing apart the suppression.

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze turned cold.

"Ming He!"

Ancestor Ming He spread his hands.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Kun Peng hasn't finished speaking yet, and you want to take him away? Do you want to swallow the Primordial Violet Qi all by yourselves?"

Doumu Yuanjun's voice turned cold.

"Ming He, do you want to be an enemy of the Heavenly Court?"

Ancestor Ming He laughed, "I live in the Sea of Blood; the Heavenly Court cannot control me."

At this moment, the Qiankun Ruler in the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng's hand moved, blocking the other side.

Great Emperor Zhenwu looked at him.

"Does the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng also want to block the Heavenly Court?"

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng pressed his palms together.

"Amitabha, I merely do not wish for the truth to be taken away by one party."

Great Emperor Zhenwu sneered, "It seems the Ancient Buddha's greed has not yet vanished."

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng raised his eyelids, the Qiankun Ruler held horizontally before him.

"Great Emperor, choose your words carefully."

The True Martial Demon-Slaying Sword in Great Emperor Zhenwu's hand vibrated.

"Did I say something wrong?"

At this point, the scene became completely chaotic.

Zhen Yuanzi activated the Earth Book, pressing directly toward Ming He.

The river of blood beneath Ancestor Ming He's feet surged, the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus protected his body, and the Yuantu and Abi killing swords collided continuously with the Mountain-Shaking Seal.

Doumu Yuanjun blocked Ran Deng, the Star Dou Divine Seal transforming into a star wheel, preventing Ran Deng from getting close.

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng sacrificed the Coffin Lamp, the lamp light revealing a phantom of a Buddha kingdom, blocking the star wheel.

For a time, everyone fought for themselves, guarding against one another, all fearing that the other would act against Kun Peng and monopolize the secret of the Primordial Violet Qi.

Kun Peng saw the chaos and felt the urge to fish in troubled waters; he transformed into the image of a Great Peng, unleashing the Kun Peng extreme speed divine ability, wanting to escape.

Seeing Kun Peng trying to run, the crowd, who had been fighting each other, suddenly acted in unison, unleashing various divine abilities to block Kun Peng's path.

Seeing this, Kun Peng had no choice but to dodge, and thus was surrounded by the crowd once again.

Kun Peng looked at the crowd who viewed him as a meal on a plate, feeling incomparably stifled in his heart.

He, a dignified Demon Master, had schemed against the Three Realms for countless years, yet today he had his opportunity severed by Su Chen and had become a scapegoat.

"Su Chen!" Kun Peng roared inwardly, "I will never rest until you are dead!" ===== CHAPTER 449 =====
