Chapter 267: Nothing to Reward, Let's Build You a Grave!

"You know me?" Brother Qian Chen tilted his head slightly and asked with interest.

The charming woman who walked out of the shadows trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "This concubine is from the Hu family and is listening to the orders under Xin Thirteenth Tianhou Niangniang... I heard the Tianhou Niangniang mention the senior before... and I have also seen the senior's painting. When I saw this... little deity, I had a guess. Now that I see the senior, I know that I have offended the deity under the senior's seat!"

A fox tail stretched out from under the charming woman's skirt. She took off the magic tool that covered the demon Qi, and only then did Senior Liang and the big man notice the dense demon Qi on her body.

"So it's a fox demon... No wonder there is a smell of musk!"

The big man muttered.

Senior Liang pulled him next to him, didn't you see that she is climbing relationships? What are you dragging your hind legs for!

"Xin Thirteenth Tianhou Niangniang?" Brother Qian Chen raised his head slightly and asked with a smile: "She has always had great ambitions and has the spirit of not losing to men. When I saw her before, she had the heart to be independent from the Xin family and establish her own foundation. I heard that she controlled a secret realm passage this time? Rogue cultivators have relied on her a lot when entering the Yuan Magnetic Earth Aperture and Lei Hai secret realm. This can be considered as getting what she wanted!"

Speaking of this, Brother Qian Chen laughed to himself: "It's been a few months, how is Thirteenth Tianhou Niangniang doing lately?"

"After the Tianhou Niangniang came out of the secret realm, her magic power advanced greatly, and she practiced several powerful Dharma spells and refined a thunder-attribute magic tool, no longer threatened by the old people in the family. She mentioned the senior several times, saying that she relied on the senior a lot in the secret realm, and instructed us to be polite when we see the senior." Hu Hu Xiaoxiao answered respectfully.

Speaking of this, she secretly glanced at Brother Qian Chen again, and seeing that he had no different color, she knew that the idea they had about the Ear-Reporting Spirit before was not taken to heart by this senior, and her heart relaxed again. She continued carefully: "After the Tianhou Niangniang occupied an entrance to this secret realm, the elders of the Xin family also came to make trouble several times, wanting to take away this path, but they were all blocked by the Tianhou Niangniang. In addition, the Tao family did not have any plans, and with the care of Senior Gu of the Shenxiao Sect, it was finally preserved."

"It's just..." Hu Hu Xiaoxiao hesitated: "After the Jin family and Lei family joined in, the Tianhou Niangniang's pressure became even greater. These two families are from cultivation aristocratic families, and they don't do things very carefully."

Brother Qian Chen swept a glance at the coffin under him and nodded: "I can see it! Daring to cultivate the Demonic Path and surround and kill rogue cultivators. It's really not careful!"

"You hid your origin and mixed into the rogue cultivators. I think it was also Xin Thirteenth Tianhou Niangniang's instruction?"

Brother Qian Chen knocked on the coffin board beside his hand and asked.

Hu Hu Xiaoxiao lowered her head: "It was the Thirteenth Tianhou Niangniang who heard that the Jin and Lei families seemed to have some movements, worried that they were still plotting the path controlled by the Tianhou Niangniang, so she sent some people to mix into the rogue cultivators to inquire."

Brother Qian Chen touched his chin. This aristocratic family wants to occupy everything, like a dog peeing to mark its territory. Under their noses, moving a stool is something that makes them want to cut off a leg; stepping on their territory requires people to be slaves and maids. He really doesn't like it!

You can think about it with your feet—this thunder sea secret realm, I'm afraid it has long been regarded as their own by the aristocratic families in the nearby counties.

This thunder sea is certified by heaven, and according to the natural law, it belongs to the first apprentice of the Supreme Louguan Dao, Lei Zhuzi.

But did Brother Qian Chen circle it as his own?

Rogue cultivators come and go here, Xin and Tao families come in and out, Lei family and Jin family have come to join in.

Did he ever set up an array, treat it as his own, and not allow anyone else to enter except himself?

No...

After all, it is an opportunity created by heaven and earth. Brother Qian Chen has some credit for this, but all things in heaven and earth are created to nourish people, and the creation of heaven and earth belongs to all living beings. Rogue cultivators have a hard time cultivating, so he will never stop them from taking the spirit things produced by the thunder sea.

But a group of corrupt aristocratic families who have no credit and no cause and effect with this place—circling a circle at the entrance of the secret realm, wanting to surround the home of the first apprentice of the Supreme Louguan Dao, Brother Qian Ancestor, Lei Zhuzi, and circle it as their own.

It's too much!

"Must be cleaned up!" Brother Qian Chen hammered his palm. This kind of evil dog that comes to his door to pee and mark its territory must be beaten. Otherwise, one day when you are ready to go home, you find the dog pooping in your house, biting your child, and still barking at you!

Can you not peel its skin?

Creating killing karma!

So it must be kicked when it just lifts its leg, making the evil dog know who is covering this place.

Brother Qian Chen thought of this, and his smile became more kind. As for how to do it, it depends on what the aristocratic family is planning. After all, you can't beat them just because they thought about it in their hearts, and step on them.

Brother Qian Chen is not such an overbearing character.

He asked Hu Hu Xiaoxiao without a trace of murderous intent: "Oh? Then what did you find out?"

Hu Hu Xiaoxiao was even more afraid, her weak and slender shoulders trembled slightly, and she buried her head: "The Jin and Lei families have indeed taken action. Several of their Core Formation elders have left the customs. Some people have seen the Lei family pull a tall magnetic peak out of the thunder sea, and some sea areas of the thunder sea have set off small Yuan Magnetic storms. But my cultivation is low, and I can only inquire about these fur."

"The true plot of the two families..." She gathered her courage and raised her head, pointing to the coffin under Brother Qian Chen, and said: "If the old Jin family monster in the coffin is not dead yet, he should know more!"

Brother Qian Chen glanced down, patted the coffin board, and nodded with a smile: "I left him a breath!"

The coffin was dark and deep, and the demons hidden in the darkness were ready to move. Brother Qian Chen pressed a palm on it, turning this coffin into a prison that imprisoned the Jin family old monster. The old monster's soul in the coffin was locked in a rotten shell, and together with countless cold, squ

On the top, bottom, left, right, front, and back of the coffin lid, all six sides were engraved with an inconspicuous red lotus pattern, keeping the darkness from encroaching upon this coffin.

"Did you hear that?"

Brother Qian Chen sat cross-legged on the coffin, shifted his backside, and smiled calmly: "Will you speak for yourself? Or should I have someone else come to give the account?"

A voice filled with extreme fear and trembling came from inside the coffin: "What does the senior wish to ask? This one will certainly answer everything without fail."

"What is the Jin family plotting?" Brother Qian Chen said in a low voice: "As a trap to capture a heaven-born divine spirit, your planning is still too hurried and crude! It's as if... you are racing against time. So, what are you all in such a rush for?"

The person in the coffin whispered: "In reply to the senior, the Jin and Lei families have already joined forces, preparing to thoroughly purge the rogue cultivators, forcing Xin Shishiniang to hand over the access passage in her hands, and occupy this Lei Hai Secret Realm!"

Hu Hu Xiaoxiao and Elder Liang, two rogue cultivators, both raised their heads in shock upon hearing this. It was not surprising that the noble families could do such a thing, but the fact that they were so eager to occupy the secret realm and used such brutal methods still left them astonished.

"Rogue cultivators are not without backgrounds either. The hundreds of rogue cultivators who entered this secret realm have such complex connections—who doesn't have a few fellow Daoist friends, who doesn't have a history..." Elder Liang said with a trembling voice: "You noble families, how dare you trap and kill so many rogue cultivators in the secret realm?"

The person in the coffin said disdainfully: "And so what? As long as it isn't us personally doing the deed, what kind of waves can mere rogue cultivators stir up?"

"Truly..." Brother Qian Chen sighed slightly: "A dog can never change its habit of eating excrement!"

He grew increasingly impatient. None of these noble families' schemes, methods, or abilities exceeded his expectations. Even if the noble families were prepared to detonate the Lei Hai and shake the territory of the surrounding counties into the void, opening up a realm to act as local emperors, he would still admire their imagination by a fraction.

But even in doing evil, they were so rotten.

They were far incomparable to the demonic path, which had infinite methods and was full of incredible changes. Even as villains, they were third-rate; the noble families were truly beyond saving!

If it were Brother Qian Chen, doing evil wouldn't be so simple! At the very least, these hundreds of rogue cultivators wouldn't just be a party to be eliminated; they would be resources for the next step of evil—refining them into a few powerful gods and demons wouldn't be excessive, right? Blood-sacrificing the Lei Hai could at least refine six Thunder Demons. By borrowing these Thunder Demons, one could then trap a wave of righteous path members who came to rescue them; the killing trap would be endless and repetitive.

As long as there are enough schemes, opening up the Lei Hai into a grotto-heaven is not a difficult task!

The noble families' methods... just this?

Brother Qian Chen looked calm and continued to ask: "How do you plan to occupy this Lei Hai Secret Realm?"

The Jin family old monster in the coffin continued to confess: "According to the account of the Xin family's Tianhou Niangniang Xin Shisan, there are only nine earth-apertures in this Lei Hai in total. As long as a great array is set up to guard these nine apertures, we can naturally turn the Lei Hai into a resource for our few families."

"This matter is presided over by my Jin family and the Lei family, with the Xin and Tao families tacitly consenting."

"The Lei family has already paved the way with the Shenxiao Sect, borrowing a magic treasure from the hands of the Lin family of the Shenxiao Sect. By borrowing this magic treasure, we can set up the Five Thunders Transforming Extremity Great Array and bury five array bases within the Lei Hai. As long as the great array is activated, drawing upon the Lei Hai and the meta-magnetic divine light, it can trigger a terrifying meta-magnetic storm. At that time, all cultivators trapped in the secret realm will be annihilated by the meta-magnetic storm."

"By utilizing the meta-magnetic storm to eliminate all rogue cultivators in one fell swoop, and simultaneously borrowing this storm that pours out the meta-magnetic power of the Lei Hai, we will force the meta-magnetic force out from the nine earth-aperture exits. We noble families have long since set up the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Array outside; at that moment, searching this heaven and earth, it will not be difficult to find the nine earth-aperture entrances one by one."

"After the meta-magnetic storm ends, the Lei Hai will be unprecedentedly weak. A Core Formation cultivation base will be able to easily suppress a sea area, and we will naturally be able to wantonly plunder the spirit materials and spirit objects within; one time will be enough to scrape away a hundred years of the Lei Hai's resources. It can completely replenish the consumption of setting up the Five Thunders Transforming Extremity Great Array, and there may even be a surplus."

"Finally, the path that Tianhou Niangniang Xin Shisan of the Xin family opened to the rogue cultivators—without the support of the Shenxiao Sect's true transmission, you can take it back in one go. As long as you set up arrays at the nine earth-apertures and send people to guard them, this Lei Hai Secret Realm will be in your pockets?" Brother Qian Chen listened to the schemes of the Lei and Jin families and praised them while beating time: "Truly ruthless enough; I underestimated you all a little!"

"You are not only trying to enclose land, but also to cut off the roots!"

"Since you have set up the Five Thunders Transforming Extremity Array, you shouldn't just be using it this one time, right? With such huge requirements for setting up the array, such waste, and letting the Xin and Tao families get something for nothing, don't your two families feel the pinch?" Brother Qian Chen gripped the handle of the Heavenly Luo Umbrella, slightly unsheathed the Affectionate Sword, letting the blade reveal a sliver, while asking the Jin old monster in the coffin.

"We plan to activate the great array once every hundred years to periodically harvest the spirit materials of the Lei Hai!"

"Ruthless enough!" Brother Qian Chen sighed: "Every time you harvest, my disciple will be trapped for fifty years! Truly ruthless; if he doesn't destroy your few great noble families when he comes out into the world, I will rename him—Tu Xingsun!"

"What about Tianhou Niangniang Xin Shisan of the Xin family..."

"The rogue cultivators will be annihilated by the meta-magnetic storm. We can use this to stir up trouble, claiming that the Lei Hai Secret Realm is unstable and cannot be opened. The heavy casualties of the rogue cultivators are all because Tianhou Niangniang Xin Shisan forced the rogue cultivators deep into the Lei Hai for her own selfish interests. Then, we can take the opportunity to take back the passage in her hands, and then we few great noble families can join forces to seal and supervise the nine passages!"

Brother Qian Chen nodded slightly: "In this way, not only will those disobedient rogue cultivators be cleared out, but the resentment of the rogue cultivators can also be directed at Tianhou Niangniang Xin Shisan. After all, people are always prone to vent their anger on the weak!"

Hu Hu Xiaoxiao's delicate body trembled upon hearing this; she had not expected the plans of the few great noble families to be so ruthless.

"Very good..." Having asked about the plans of the few great noble families, Brother Qian Chen prepared to let them see what is called creative evil.

Brother Qian Chen wanted to let these few great noble families know that as a righteous body of the Supreme Heavenly Demon, when it comes to the potential for evil, they were still far behind!

Far too far behind!

The Jin family old monster said with a trembling voice: "Senior, I have confessed everything you asked me one by one! Can the senior give a..."

"Well done! To reward you..."

Brother Qian Chen revealed a clear smile: "I will build you a grave!"

The Jin old monster silently swallowed the last two words, "a way to live."

Hu Hu Xiaoxiao's delicate body trembled slightly. This fox heard the schemes of the Lei and Jin families and immediately felt that her future following Tianhou Niangniang Xin Shisan was somewhat bleak. Seeing Brother Qian Chen turn his head to look over, she immediately lowered her head, listening to Brother Qian Chen smile: "Since you know it is a conspiracy of the Jin and Lei families, why don't you go back and report it to Tianhou Niangniang Xin Shisan? Also, if Tianhou Niangniang Xin Shisan wants to see me, tell her to come here!"

Hu Hu Xiaoxiao accepted the order, transformed into her original form, and flew away as a fox shadow.

Elder Liang and the big man looked at each other, both feeling that the noble families were truly ruthless enough, and this Lei Hai Secret Realm seemed like it could erupt into a meta-magnetic storm at any time, feeling a chill lingering behind their backs. Elder Liang was silent for a long time, seeing that Brother Qian Chen didn't seem to intend to kill them to silence them, before cautiously asking: "Senior, since the conspiracy of the noble families has been exposed, can we..."

"What do you think?" Brother Qian Chen asked back without turning his head.

Knowing it was impossible to let the two of them leave, Elder Liang let out a sigh as if resigned to his fate, cupped his hands and said: "Since the senior has the grace of saving our lives, if there is any place where we can be of use, please feel free to command us!"

Only then did Brother Qian Chen turn his head to look at him, nodded and said: "Follow me!"

…………

"My disciple! In order for you to grow up safely, your master has also tried his best! It's not excessive to take a little something from you, right?"

Brother Qian Chen was calculating many bad ideas in his heart, looking back and forth at the places in the Lei Hai where resources were relatively abundant.
