Chapter 461

~16 min read 3,160 words

At this moment, two stunning blade lights still remained in Ji Zhen's eyes. One was like an ice rainbow, the blade light crystal-clear as if carrying eternal coldness, slashing away all miscellaneous thoughts.

The Wuchang Sect is the most sinister and strange, stealing memories from all living beings, all of which were frozen and shattered by this blade light. This blade made all the walking dead nearby suddenly collapse to the ground, liberated from that endless torture.

The strange demonic scripture of the Wuchang Sect, facing this blade that strictly restrained its essence, collapsed in defeat.

The second blade was even more stunning. It manifested with the help of Fu Fu Lao Mo You Wang's own divine ability, and even had no physical body, instead looking like a residual shadow reflected in the memories stolen by the Worry-Forget Domain.

This blade was like a dream and illusion, just a reflection of a bit of obsession from the goose-feather long saber in Qian Chen's hand, appearing only in Qian Chen's mind and Fu Fu Lao Mo You Wang's Worry-Forget Domain. But it was this blade that looked like a phantom that made Fu Fu Lao Mo You Wang's soul fly away and scatter, dying instantly. Ji Zhen watched with his mouth agape.

Looking at this blade of true and false interlacing, slashing emotion and liberation, Ji Zhen's gaze contracted, and the "Hundred-Step Flying Sword" in his palm emitted a high-pitched sword cry, the "Bai Hong Sword Intent" ready to move.

But Ji Zhen had to suppress the abnormality of the flying sword. At this time, they had already spent five breaths assassinating You Wang. This place was too close to the demonic path's base, the God-Sacrificing Platform, and there was a possibility of enemies coming to support at any time. The way of the assassin is to retreat far away immediately if one strike fails.

Once a strike hits, one must retreat even further. They aren't suicide squads, are they?

Therefore, Qian Chen hooked a Qiankun bag from You Wang extremely quickly. After using "Forget-Emotion True Water" to refine away the imprints that might exist on it, he threw it to the little monster waiting on the side. Ear-Dao God took the spoils and fled away in a puff of smoke. Qian Chen and Ji Zhen both wrapped themselves in sword light and fled at high speed.

Before leaving, Ji Zhen used a sword light to crush the stone cave here, and also killed the two demonic path disciples who were guarding the tunnel entrance with almost blank memories...

One quarter of an hour after the two disappeared, Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu, wrapped in black-gold demonic light, appeared above this ruin like a long rainbow.

A black-robed person flashed out; it was Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu. Beside him, the Formless Evil Buddha of the Heart Buddha Sect, the Undying Daoist of the True Transmission Dao, and others soon appeared.

Several people looked at the stone cave that was in a mess and already buried by rubble, their expressions all gloomy and ugly.

Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu waved his hand, and the black-gold demonic light behind him intertwined into several chains, moving the rubble away, revealing the remains of Fu Fu Lao Mo You Wang surrounded by dense corpses.

You Wang's corpse died with eyes wide open, his expression horrified, his pupils still retaining fear, despair, and regret. His entire body presented a posture of wanting to flee outward, tightly guarding behind him, but the blade mark that pierced his body and cut him in half through the chest was slashed from the direction he was fleeing.

The old demon died with almost no power to fight back!

Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu took the residual black mist here and couldn't help but frown: "From the time we discovered the abnormality here to the time You Wang died, it almost didn't exceed five breaths."

"Who could kill him in such a short time?" Zen Master Formless said solemnly: "At least we can't do it!"

"This is almost no power to fight back!" Old Monster Duan also sighed: "The person who killed him came and went in a hurry, with no time to destroy the corpse. Judging from the traces at the scene, Fu Fu Lao Mo You Wang was completely defeated by someone as soon as they met, only thinking of fleeing... and then the person who ambushed behind him slashed him to death with supreme blade technique."

"This shows that at least two powerhouses far above him ambushed together... and I also discovered some sword marks that were not very noticeable."

Several old demons saw those sword marks, but moved their gazes away indifferently, their lines of sight always occupied by those two blade marks.

"The person who killed him later also took advantage of the ambush. But to be able to kill You Wang with one saber, without leaving even a trace of residual demonic thought or demon lord, is truly astonishing."

Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu said solemnly: "But I am still curious, what kind of great enemy could make You Wang lose the thought of resistance at the first moment. You must know that as long as he held on until we came to support, he would have full confidence to escape!"

"The only one who can make the 'Forget-Emotion Divine Demon' of the Wuchang Sect so terrified is Guanghan Palace!" The Undying Daoist said faintly.

"Could it be that the Guanghan Feng Xianzi of this generation has already been born, and even ran into the Jin Ling Cave Heaven to make things difficult for us?" Zen Master Formless put his hands together, his faceless face twisting and wriggling, extremely strange...

"There should still be a mole at work!"

Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu pinched a jade seal in his palm and threw it out: "It was this object that caused the mutation of the Demon-Burying Stone Platform and held us back from coming to support..."

Several old demon lords all looked deeply at that jade seal. The divine Dao runes of the "Yuanyang Great Power" engraved on it were lingering with a trace of ancient and mysterious aura.

Now this jade seal is ordinary, with no more power, but everyone remembers that when this seal was on the Demon-Burying Stone Platform, causing the infinite divine light to suppress down, it emitted such an astonishing aura.

If this aura hadn't just flashed and disappeared, they would probably still be held back at the stone platform now.

"Yuanyang Emperor Seal!" Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu sneered coldly: "If this were the genuine article, it would be the greatest miracle that we could escape!"

"A fake divine artifact being able to have one point of charm is already quite remarkable!" The Undying Daoist said lightly.

"You mean, this jade seal is a relic of the Fangxian Dao?" Zen Master Formless's faceless face leaned forward, carefully examining the jade seal. After a while, he nodded: "Indeed, there are traces of the Fangxian Dao's artifact refining technique..."

"A divine artifact faked by the Fangxian Dao; a Guanghan Feng Xianzi who almost defeated Fu Fu Lao Mo You Wang with one saber on the front; plus the person who ambushed with one saber and killed You Wang... "

"This game to deal with You Wang is certainly a sure thing, and even if they want to deal with any one of us, they have at least thirty percent confidence. It seems Xie An is just a front on the surface, and the righteous path's real killing move is hidden extremely deep... But why did they strike at You Wang and easily expose their own methods?"

"You Wang was restrained by Guanghan Palace's 'Taiyin Slashing Emotion Saber'. Logically speaking, he is not the person they most want to deal with." Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu pondered.

"This is an open conspiracy..."

Old Monster Duan said resolutely: "Fu Fu Lao Mo You Wang was killed so easily, showing that the righteous path's power is indeed weaker than ours, but already has enough threat. And this kind of power is hidden in the dark, ambushing right beside us. In this way, Sima Yan wants to use the Demon-Burying Stone Platform to transform, and none of us can leave the vicinity of the stone platform."

"Once two of us are missing, the righteous path is enough to storm the stone platform and destroy Sima Yan's promotion to Nascent Soul. Originally, there was that Two-Heart Demon Ape sitting in town, promising to protect the stone platform for us, but when this Yuanyang Emperor Seal was activated, the Two-Heart Demon Ape's attitude was also extremely strange. Facing this jade seal, it actually had the heart to sit on the sidelines!"

Zen Master Formless's tone had a faint doubt.

On the Undying Daoist's face, a stiff sneer also appeared: "In this way, we can no longer leave the stone platform! Most of the various ambush methods originally arranged have been wasted. After all, those methods always need Yang Spirit masters to suppress them to pose a threat to the righteous path. Once we are trapped in the stone platform, the righteous path can clean up at leisure!"

"Originally thought the righteous path only had one Yang Spirit, Xie An, while our Demon Gate had four, plus a Sima Yan who couldn't strike, and the Two-Heart Demon Ape guarding the stone platform. Time and place were both on our side, and the layout was extremely calm. But now it seems, in killing You Wang, the righteous path exposed at least two Yang Spirit combat powers, and even ambushed right beside us, expressing the means to threaten the Demon-Burying Stone Platform, causing a restraint on us."

"Now as long as two people are alone, the righteous path has the possibility of ambushing. We can't leave the stone platform at all, but the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light... Since when has our demonic path been this bright?" Old Monster Duan was dissatisfied.

"If three people join forces, once they are managed to be held back by the righteous path, there may be changes at the Demon-Burying Stone Platform at any time."

"The person who laid the layout is sinister, but it also makes me suspect... do they really have two Yang Spirit combat powers?" The Undying Daoist stared at the blade mark that pierced Fu Fu Lao Mo You Wang's corpse.

He touched You Wang's corpse, seeing the blade mark on the corpse distort, as if wanting to break out of the body and slash the person in front of him.

The Undying Daoist instantly retracted his finger. He felt the obsession in the blade mark that was eternal and unchanging, struggling in the Avici Hell, and couldn't help but say in unison with Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu: "Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber!"

"No, it is the blade technique of the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, plus a blade intent that exceeds the original barrier of the divine saber."

"This blade intent is as persistent as a demon, lingering between righteous and evil!" Zen Master Formless also reached out to test the blade mark, finally changing color. His faceless face distorted in shock: "There is even a trace of Zen intent... already enlightened to obsession, yet unwilling to let go. Even if it is pure and extinguished, there is still a bit of obsession that does not die. This is—the Heart of the Demon Buddha!"

"That's it!" Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu said in a deep voice: "The righteous path has two Yang Spirit combat powers, but still dare not attack head-on. It is possible that they are each harboring their own ghosts and cannot trust each other."

"The one who broke You Wang's Dao heart was the Guanghan Feng Xianzi, and that saber that killed him came from the person who awakened the fierce spirits here and ambushed us before. That person refined the demonic saber, but surpassed the demonic saber, and did not hesitate to cooperate with the righteous path to plot against us!"

At this time, a trace of chill rose in everyone's hearts. That person's calculation was so deep that he was simply the biggest mastermind of this trip.

His cooperation with the righteous path could not have been established from the beginning. The righteous path could not have actively exposed the mole ambushed by the Demon Gate and trusted that person so much.

Then the reason for being able to unite with the righteous path and lay this game was obvious!

It must be that this person noticed the righteous path's mole, but did not inform the Demon Gate, or used the mole to provoke a righteous-evil conflict, but instead cooperated with the righteous path to plot against them, weakening the Demon Gate's advantage to the extreme and reaching a balance with the righteous path. In this way, the Demon Gate could not control the overall situation, and the righteous path was at a disadvantage and had to rely on this person, which gave this person the opportunity to lay out the game calmly.

And the purpose of this person, several old demons also vaguely guessed.

It should be that he wants to replace Sima Yan and achieve Nascent Soul...

To go further, anything a demonic path Yang Spirit powerhouse does can be understood. When he achieves Supreme Supreme Tian Mo, would the Demon Gate turn against him for a mere Sima Yan? Helping Sima Yan achieve Nascent Soul is for several Heavenly Demons to use this to lay out the Central Lands, but if a demonic path powerhouse uses this to achieve Supreme Supreme Tian Mo and become a new chess player of the demonic path, they will not blame the winner too much.

Winner takes all. Once that step is taken, there are no more restrictions. The demonic path is like this!

Several people guessed this in their hearts, their expressions unchanged, but each had their own small abacus. They looked at each other and took You Wang's corpse back to the Demon-Burying Stone Platform in a hurry.

…………

Ji Zhen and Qian Chen retreated to a quiet place. Ji Zhen finally couldn't help but speak: "Having cultivated the Yu Yu Jiuyou Dao's Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, and also refined the Guanghan Sect's Ice Soul Divine Saber... who exactly are you?"

Qian Chen walked toward the darkness and said without looking back: "What's the use of asking so much? You should know that since Xie An is willing to trust me, it means I have no problems. You should return to the Yu Yu Jiuyou Dao as soon as possible, lest you arouse suspicion! After this incident, they must have confirmed that there is a mole on the demonic path's side... If you are caught! The great situation will be destroyed in one fell swoop, which would be a pity!"

Many clues flashed through Ji Zhen's mind one by one. Suddenly, these clues were all connected, vaguely pointing to one person.

Proficient in the Guanghan Sect's Ice Soul Divine Saber, possibly the new generation Guanghan Feng Xianzi, and also cultivated the Yu Yu Jiuyou Dao's Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, and even the attainment in the demonic saber is far beyond the Yu Yu Jiuyou true transmission he knows. At the same time, he is proficient in zither Dao, and without meeting, he figured out a trace of Bai Hong Sword Intent, calling himself 'Qian Chen'...

These identities, except for the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, can all be related to one person!

That is Li Er, who rode a deer across the river three years ago, subdued the dragon and elephant with a sword, and shocked the world.

These clues in Ji Zhen's mind were connected by a bolt of lightning. He couldn't help but blurt out: "You are Li Er!"

Qian Chen stopped his steps silently. He pressed his hand on the Fuxi-style ancient zither on his back and turned sideways slowly, facing Ji Zhen.

He knew... this was Ji Zhen's final test. If "Li Er" was really on the righteous path's side, then Qian Chen would not care about this slip of the tongue. But if Li Er's background was still a demonic path person, then after this identity was exposed, Ji Zhen would definitely tell Xie An, forcing Qian Chen to kill him. But after killing him, Xie An would know Qian Chen's unreliability.

This person dared to use his life to test Qian Chen... he had some courage.

If he dared to add any strange prefixes in front of Li Er.

For example, Guanghan XX or something, Qian Chen would let him know why the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber is so red, and how cold the Ice Soul Divine Saber really is.

But after all, he didn't.

So Qian Chen just outlined a mysterious smile on the corners of his mouth, looked at him one last time, turned, and disappeared into the darkness.

The demonic path powerhouse of the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, the Guanghan Feng Xianzi of the Taiyin Slashing Emotion Saber Scripture, the Green Lotus Sword Song Li Taibai, the new Sect Master of the Louguan Dao Qian Chen, one of the three treasures of the Tai-Shang Dao, the Dao Dust Pearl, the golden finger old grandfather of the Tai-Shang Dao Ancestor, how many steps have you seen so far?

I clearly told you, I am the Sect Master of the Louguan Dao, it's you who can't remember.

As for Li Er, who is that?

Walking the Jianghu, the first priority is to have enough vests. You have only seen my identity at the Li Er level, you can't even see the Reincarnators, not even as good as the Sima family!

Seeing Qian Chen leave, Ji Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure Li Er gave him was truly too great!

Not to mention the astonishing cultivation he once exposed, the Ice Soul Divine Saber, the formidable sword technique, zither sound, and even array cultivation, just his unknown demonic path attainment, that terrifying Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, and that blade of "Relief" that was born from the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Divine Saber when he finally killed You Wang, could be called astonishing.

Just by the means of the demonic saber, this person is a confidant of the four Yang Spirit old demons... and it is said that this person has only been building his foundation for five years!

After Li Er disappeared from Northern Wei, what exactly did he experience?

Or rather, is he really Li Er?

Ji Zhen never dared to be sure. The smile when Qian Chen finally left seemed to be shrouded in a veil, mysterious and strange, full of various mysteries.
