Chapter 449: Stalemate, Su Chen requests Tai Yin

Deep in the Star Fall Abyss, Ancestor Friend Ming He stepped on the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Yuantu and Abi swords transforming into two blood-colored long dragons, darting left and right in the void.

He shouted about helping Kun Peng, but his sword light swept across the Demon Master Palace's defensive runes from time to time.

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng held the Qiankun Ruler, the Coffin Lamp suspended above his head, the ghostly green lamp light revealing a pure land of a Buddha kingdom.

The Buddha light appeared gentle, yet it firmly blocked Friend Ming He's blood water on the periphery, while simultaneously splitting off strands of Sanskrit sound, attempting to convert Kun Peng, who was trapped by Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi's face was as calm as water, the Earth Book spread out, the mountain and river phantom firmly pressing down on Kun Peng.

Yet every time he wanted to close the Earth Book to completely suppress Kun Peng, Friend Ming He's killing sword and Ran Deng's Buddha light would intentionally or unintentionally collide with the weak points of the mountain and river phantom.

Doumu Yuanjun stood amidst the starlight, the Star Dou Divine Seal transforming into a boundless star net.

She had to guard against Friend Ming He's sneak attacks, suppress Ran Deng's infiltration, and cooperate with Zhen Yuanzi to trap the enemy.

"Friend Ming He! Ran Deng! Do you truly want to protect him?" Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were cold and sharp.

Ancestor Friend Ming He laughed loudly: "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, I am merely inquiring about the whereabouts of the Primordial Violet Qi; who is protecting him?"

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng held one hand vertically before his chest: "Amitabha, the Demon Master has an affinity with my West; I am willing to lead him into Lingshan to wash away his sins. As for the matter of the Primordial Violet Qi, Lingshan will naturally investigate it clearly."

"Bullshit!" Zhen Yuanzi shouted angrily, the Earth Book exerting force once again.

Each faction had its own schemes; no one wanted others to take Kun Peng away and monopolize the secret of the Primordial Violet Qi.

Amidst the collision of divine abilities, the encirclement actually showed a trace of loosening.

Kun Peng, bearing the Demon Master Palace and holding the North Sea Sword, stood at the center of the storm.

He gasped for breath, the bloodstain on his forehead still glaring, and looking at these people before him, his eyes were full of resentment and mockery.

"A bunch of idiots." Kun Peng gritted his teeth.

He knew that he would not die today; as long as this group of people still coveted the Primordial Violet Qi, they would not truly deal a lethal blow.

But the hatred in his heart had not vanished.

"Su Chen..." Kun Peng gritted his teeth at this name.

Above the East Sea, the blue waves stretched for ten thousand miles.

Ripples appeared in the void, and a spatial rift emerged above the sea surface.

Su Chen stepped out from the rift, put away the Chaos Bell suspended above his head, and spat out a breath of turbid air.

A furious blow from a peak Semi-Sage, even with an Innate Supreme Treasure protecting his body, had caused him some minor injuries.

Su Chen stood on the sea surface, looking back at the heavens.

"Fight, the more lively the fight, the better." A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Su Chen's mouth.

He knew that those people were suspicious of each other and could not take down Kun Peng at all; Kun Peng would eventually break free.

And after breaking free, the first thing Kun Peng would absolutely do was come to find him; the hatred of a severed path was irreconcilable.

Su Chen did not return to Flower Fruit Mountain; he stood on the waves, flipped his hand, and a jade talisman emitting cold moonlight appeared in his palm.

This was the token given to him by the Tai Yin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun Chang Xi back then.

Su Chen did not hesitate, closing his five fingers.

"Crack."

The jade talisman shattered, and the strand of the Tai Yin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun's divine soul contained within the talisman was triggered.

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed.

The originally surging East Sea surface suddenly stilled, and a chill descended from the nine heavens; wherever it passed, the seawater instantly froze into ice.

The ice layer spread wildly in all directions with Su Chen as the center; in just a few breaths, the sea area for ten thousand miles around turned into a glacier.

In the sky, a phantom of a bright, clear moon emerged, overpowering the scorching sun of the day.

The moonlight was like water, pouring down, and a cold, beautiful figure stepped on the moonlight, slowly walking out from the void.

She was draped in silver palace attire, her brows and eyes revealing a coldness that kept people at a distance; she was the Tai Yin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, Chang Xi.

Chang Xi looked at Su Chen, her brows slightly furrowed: "You were in such a hurry to summon me; have you encountered a life-and-death crisis?"

She sensed the residual aura on Su Chen's body, which was the power fluctuation of a Semi-Sage level.

Su Chen bowed in salute: "Greetings, Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun. It cannot be called a crisis; I just returned from the outer realms and happened to sever a great opportunity for someone."

Chang Xi's eyes narrowed: "Who?"

"Kun Peng."

Hearing this name, the temperature around Chang Xi dropped again.

"You encountered him?" Chang Xi stared at Su Chen, "You, a Tai Yi Jin Xian... no, that's not right."

Her gaze swept over Su Chen, and a strange look flashed in her eyes: "You have actually reached the Mid-Stage Great Luo Jin Xian Realm? And your physical body is comparable to a Semi-Sage!"

How long had it been?

Su Chen did not dwell on this question, going straight to the point: "Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, to make a long story short. Kun Peng found the Primordial Violet Qi in the Star Fall Abyss of the outer realms."

"What?!" Chang Xi's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in shock.

Primordial Violet Qi! That was the foundation for becoming a Saint!

Back then, Di Jun and Tai Yi were so brilliant and talented, yet in the end, they could only drink hatred in the calamity.

If Kun Peng became a Saint, the old grievances of the Demon Clan would never be settled, and she, the Tai Yin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, would likely be unable to protect herself.

"Did he refine it?" Chang Xi's voice was tight.

"Almost." Su Chen's tone was calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, "I followed him, and at the critical moment when he was about to refine it, I used the Chaos Bell to fix time and space, and hacked him with an axe."

"Chaos Bell?" Chang Xi was stunned.

She looked at the young man before her, her mind buzzing.

The amount of information in this series of events was too great; even this ancient Demon Empress who had lived for countless eons could not react for a moment.

"The Violet Qi was startled, escaped into the void, and disappeared." Su Chen continued, "Now in the outer realms, Zhen Yuanzi, Doumu Yuanjun, Ancestor Friend Ming He, and the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng are surrounding him, demanding an explanation."

Chang Xi took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surprise in her heart; she looked at Su Chen, her eyes showing more respect.

"You not only severed his path to Sainthood but also made him a target for everyone." A pleasure that was not hidden erupted in Chang Xi's eyes, "Good! Very good! He betrayed the Demon Court back then, causing the Demon Emperor to fall; today, this hatred of a severed path is his retribution!"

After laughing, Chang Xi looked at Su Chen with burning eyes: "You summoned me here not just to say these things, right?"

Su Chen nodded, his eyes becoming sharp: "Although Kun Peng is surrounded, those people have their own ulterior motives and cannot truly kill him. It is only a matter of time before he breaks free."

"I severed his path to Sainthood, and he hates me to the bone. Plus, with the Chaos Bell in my hands, he will definitely come to Flower Fruit Mountain to find me."

Chang Xi immediately understood Su Chen's intention: "You want to lure the enemy into the trap?"

"Correct." Su Chen nodded, "He is currently seriously injured, which is the best time to kill him!"

Hearing this, killing intent soared from Chang Xi.

"Kill Kun Peng..." she murmured to herself, a crazy light flickering in her eyes, "I have waited for this day for too long!"

She looked sharply at Su Chen: "I promised you that I would wait until you had the strength to contend with him before letting you help me kill him. Since you feel the time has come, then I will listen to you. What are your considerations?"

Su Chen analyzed calmly: "Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, if you and I join forces, plus the Chaos Bell, defeating him might not be difficult. But if a peak Semi-Sage is determined to escape, we cannot stop him."

Chang Xi frowned: "Kun Peng's extreme speed is the best in the Three Realms; if he wants to leave, no one under a Saint can truly keep him."

"Therefore, we need to set up a trap from which he absolutely cannot escape." Su Chen looked at Chang Xi, "I need to go and invite a senior to come out of seclusion. With him, Kun Peng will undoubtedly die."

"Who?"

"Bai Ze."

As the Demon Empress, Chang Xi naturally knew Bai Ze.

Demon Saint Bai Ze, who understood the nature of all things and knew the affairs of ghosts and gods; if it came to arranging troops and formations, no one in the Demon Clan could surpass him.

"He has been in seclusion since the Lich Calamity; even I don't know where he is. Can you invite him?" Chang Xi was somewhat skeptical.

"I have my own ways." Su Chen did not explain much, "Before I return, Flower Fruit Mountain must not be lost. If Kun Peng arrives early, I ask the Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun to temporarily guard Flower Fruit Mountain and protect it."

"I agree." Her voice was cold, "You go. With me here, Flower Fruit Mountain will not lose even a blade of grass."

"Thank you, Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun."

Chang Xi's figure transformed into a strand of moonlight, darting directly toward the direction of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Su Chen watched her leave, then turned around, his gaze cast toward the West.

That was the direction of Xi Niuhe Zhou.

"Kun Peng, you want my life." Su Chen stepped out, his figure merging into the void, "Then let's see whose life is taken this time." ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
