Chapter 251

Hearing this question.

The yellow-clad cultivator's spirit tightened.

He did not dare to hide anything, seized the opportunity, busily organized his words in his mind, bowed, and spoke...

"At present, Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen Cheng has already seized the "Great Di True Technique" cultivated by the Huoxia Ancestor, and Xiao Xiao Shixiong Zhao Tong, relying on his brilliant escape technique, also snatched away a few treasures ahead of time when the restrictions were broken.

It can be said that the most precious items on the seventh level of the nine-level palace have already been taken by Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen Cheng!"

Before long.

After the yellow-clad cultivator endured the pain in his body and finished speaking in detail.

His voice paused slightly, he looked at Chen Heng, and added the last sentence with hidden worry:

"However, the "Great Di True Technique" is a Daoist book that can be cultivated to the Pure Yang realm of the side paths, and its value is extraordinary! It seems that Xiao Xiujing, Sima Mingye, and others are all unconvinced... We have been fighting them for a long time. Even though Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen Cheng has formed a temporary alliance with Zhao Tong's side, I fear we cannot stop the momentum of the noble clans.

Especially that Xiao Xiujing, who is even more formidable; he is truly a flood dragon of a figure!

If this continues, I fear the "Great Di True Technique" will be hard to keep..."

After Chen Heng finished listening, his eyes flickered, and he pondered for a moment.

He was not in a hurry to reply, but calculated the yellow-clad cultivator's words, gaining an understanding of the current situation in the underground palace.

Two days ago.

This main hall of the underground palace was found by a noble clan refiner.

However, before he could break the first restriction, he was discovered by Shen Ming, who had arrived upon hearing the news. The two fought fiercely, and the outcome was hard to determine.

Afterward, they each called for friends and companions, which created the grand momentum just now.

The current nine-level palace's lower seven levels had long been looted.

The most precious "Great Di True Technique" among them had already been snatched by Shen Cheng through his own ability.

However, facing the powerful noble clans, Shen Cheng and Zhao Tong had no choice but to join forces to resist the encroachment.

But even so.

I fear it would be difficult to maintain the situation for long, and signs of defeat were faintly emerging...

Seeing Chen Heng pondering in silence.

Because the yellow-clad cultivator could not guess his thoughts, he could only bow again and say truthfully:

"Chen Xiao Shixiong, this junior has been working for Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen Cheng for many years. The reason Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen Cheng wants to fight for that "Great Di True Technique," if we speak of the real situation, is actually because his two younger brothers have no fate with the orthodox Daoist path and can only walk the side-path route...

Although the value of side-path Daoist books cannot compare to orthodox ones, most of those circulating outside are not very profound, and it is hard to find truly excellent ones.

For the sake of Shen Sanlang and Shen Silang, with Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen Cheng's temperament, he is determined to get this "Great Di True Technique"!"

When he finished speaking.

He looked at Chen Heng, hurriedly lowered his voice, looked around, and then said cautiously:

"In this junior's opinion, if Chen Xiao Shixiong is willing to help a little, Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen Cheng will surely be grateful, and through this, you can also gain a favor.

However, Xiao Xiujing's methods are extremely formidable; even He Manzi almost fell into his hands, and Xiao Xiao Shixiong Zhao Tong's side also lost two good hands...

Xiao Xiao Shixiong must not be careless. If the situation is impossible, you should prioritize protecting yourself!"

The yellow-clad cultivator's face was filled with emotion, his words were sincere, and there was even a hint of persuasion hidden within.

Chen Heng smiled upon hearing this, bowed in return, and said:

"Thank you for the reminder. This place is a quiet spot with few people coming to disturb. Since this fellow disciple's injuries have not yet healed, why not take refuge here for a while to recover your vitality?"

Seeing this, the yellow-clad cultivator hurriedly nodded in thanks, and after bowing again.

He walked into the palace, found a random spot, and began to regulate his breath...

"This person can be considered to know how to repay kindness. If the words he said later reach Shen Cheng's ears, he will inevitably suffer some trouble..."

Seeing the yellow-clad cultivator's figure go far away.

The Escape Realm Shuttle jumped out of Chen Heng's sleeve and frowned:

"I know you have an alliance with Shen Cheng, and if he gets that "Great Di True Technique," he will definitely not leave out your share of the merit. But in this situation, even if your Dharma fighting is powerful, your cultivation is still one realm lower; I fear it will be difficult to turn the tide?"

Chen Heng pondered and said slowly:

"Not to mention the various merits, even for the sake of that Daoist book, I should intervene. Under my command, there are also those who practice side-path cultivation, such as Tu Shan Ge. If I can obtain the "Great Di True Technique," it will truly be a rare fortune for them.

As for how to break the situation.

I already have a plan in mind..."

After these words were spoken.

Chen Heng no longer hesitated and shook his sleeve.

A blue light flashed out of thin air, and he moved from the spot to the periphery of the battle circle!

And where his eyes fell.

It was still a scene of earth-shattering killing sounds.

Various colors of brilliance flickered, stinging the eyes.

From afar.

One could see Xiao Xiujing and Sima Mingye leading two noble clan refiners, surrounding Shen Cheng and He Manzi in the center.

The Red-Browed Daoist had half of his body melted away, covered in blood, and was barely hanging on to his life.

If not for the help of Shen Cheng and He Manzi, he would have long been killed by a casual sword strike, his life extinguished.

And not far from the palace, Zhao Tong's side was also blocked by Liu Guan and his men, and Shen Ming was also trapped inside along with them.

However, compared to the fierce fighting at Shen Cheng's side.

Liu Guan left himself a margin of leeway when he struck.

He only sought to trap everyone for the time being, not to kill the enemy.

It was clearly his intention to wait for Xiao Xiujing and Sima Mingye to finish off their opponents, and then join forces with them to deal with Zhao Tong, Shen Ming, and the others.

Apart from these two places.

The remaining cultivators were also mostly divided into camps, fighting in pairs.

From time to time, crippled corpses fell to the ground.

Or some cultivators drove their escape lights to fly up, abandoned their opponents, and fled outward.

Chen Heng saw this scene, his eyes flickered, his lips moved, and he briefly said a few words to Shen Cheng via sound transmission. Fearing that Xiao Xiujing and the others would notice, he did not say much and soon stopped.

Then he activated his divine ability, and his figure shifted in an instant.

At the same time.

Brilliance suddenly emerged in the eyes of Shen Cheng, who was fighting bitterly, and his heart was overjoyed.

He scanned the surroundings obscurely, but saw no one, and was surprised by the brilliance of Chen Heng's concealment art.

But at this time, he could not afford to think too much. After giving He Manzi a look.

Shen Cheng suddenly gave a violent shout, activated his true qi, and two rays of black and red light jumped from his sleeves. The two lights collided, instantly exploding like thunder and fire, expanding into boundless thick fog and dense smoke, like tides and waves!

Spreading in all directions.

It had the momentum to cover the sun and sky!

"Six Jia Divine Wandering Qi?!"

In the battle circle, a noble clan refiner in a gold robe exclaimed.

His companion beside him also had a slightly sunken gaze.

"This child is at the end of his rope... It seems he is going to make a desperate gamble?"

Sima Mingye sneered, looked at Xiao Xiujing, and both saw a hint of mockery in each other's eyes.

"No need to worry, everyone, come to my side quickly!"

Xiao Xiujing said loudly:

"A petty person is just struggling in his death throes! Fighting until now, once this technique is activated, how much true qi can he still have? We shall just sit and wait to see how he seeks his own death!"

Fog locks the mountain top, thick smoke obstructs the sky.

Within a radius of three miles, everything was covered by layers of thick fog, unable to distinguish north from south, or east from west.

And if one wanted to leave this place, the light, cotton-like clouds around one's body were also transmitting an inexplicable force, binding one's hands and feet, making one's body extremely heavy, and it could not be broken in a short time.

This technique is called the Six Jia Divine Wandering Qi, and it is one of Shen Cheng's proud methods!

Once activated, not only can it trap the enemy.

But as long as the practitioner is within the clouds and mist, they can shift their position at will, unpredictable as ghosts and gods!

This is also why Xiao Xiujing wanted to call everyone to his side, to prevent Shen Cheng from using this method to break them one by one.

However, although this Six Jia Divine Wandering Qi has extraordinary power, it inevitably has shortcomings.

Consuming true qi is only a small matter.

And once the practitioner pulls their body out of the clouds and mist.

Or if someone attacks from the outside, and those trapped inside cooperate to exert force together.

This Six Jia Divine Wandering Qi will naturally collapse and fail to achieve its goal...

At this moment.

The four people, Xiao Xiujing, had already gathered together, releasing their qi together to form a circle.

No matter how Shen Cheng shifted his position, he could not break the joint effort of these four people, and instead, while dodging, he was spotted by Xiao Xiujing and almost suffered injuries.

"This move is truly a foolish one. He is not a person without wisdom, so why would he make such a move?"

Sima Mingye sneered and casually sent out a thunderbolt, shaking the clouds and mist before him fiercely.

But after only a short while.

The empty space was filled again by the surrounding clouds and mist, returning to its original appearance...

"Perhaps he wants to help He Manzi escape?"

Xiao Xiujing was unimpressed: "However, if he dies, He Manzi alone, how far can he escape in this small cave heaven? He can escape for a moment, but can he escape for a lifetime? Previously, we were guarding the Water-Fire Well and couldn't show our faces, which allowed these stupid things to show off their power. But now, how can we allow them to run wild!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember someone, Chen Heng..."

Sima Mingye frowned slightly upon hearing this:

"It is strange to say that since entering the underground palace, I have never seen this child. Where did he go?"

Xiao Xiujing's expression suddenly turned cold.

But before he could speak, a loud noise suddenly exploded not far away, like splitting stones and opening mountains, shattering large swaths of clouds and mist!

And after a few breaths.

Another loud noise came!

"Someone is helping from the outside!"

A noble clan refiner's eyes lit up: "Let us also exert our strength together! Break this technique!"

"..."

Although Xiao Xiujing suspected who could spare the time at this moment, he still cooperated and unleashed his Daoist technique.

Before long.

With efforts from inside and outside.

The clouds and mist collapsed powerlessly and never returned; the Six Jia Divine Wandering Qi was completely broken.

And when everyone looked over.

In mid-air, they only saw a tall Daoist wearing blue-green Bagua robes stepping on water waves, smiling slightly, holding a human head in his hand.

"Delayed for a while, but, fortunately, I did not fail the mission!"

Xiao Yi said loudly.

"Brother Xiao Yi?"

Xiao Xiujing couldn't help but smile, and when his gaze shifted to the head in Xiao Yi's hand, he was even more overjoyed:

"Chen Heng is really dead? Good! Very good! You and Ji Yuetan have done a beautiful job; I will reward you heavily!"

This voice did not hide anything, like angry waves rolling across the wilderness, making the surrounding atmosphere rumble and sound, so that everyone in the field could hear it!

"..."

The cultivators in the battle circle were all stunned when they heard this sound.

Shen Ming's face showed horror.

The dying Red-Browed Daoist had a gray-white face and lowered his head dejectedly.

"Go!"

Shen Cheng and He Manzi looked at each other, shouted in unison, rolled up the Red-Browed Daoist with true qi, and turned into light, speeding away wildly.

Xiao Xiujing glanced at this scene but did not rush to act.

However, just as he was about to take the head from Xiao Yi's hand, the fish talisman at his waist suddenly flashed a warning, making his whole body feel like it was being pricked by needles!

"This—"

Xiao Yi's figure suddenly disappeared.

And that head instantly changed into a pile of dark red stones of different lengths.

Thunder light darted on the surface, flames rose, making one's scalp tingle!

At this moment.

Xiao Xiujing also heard Sima Mingye's short scream beside him, but everything was already too late.

"Thunder Marsh Stone?!"

With a "Boom"!

The void shook, thunder and fire exploded! Large clusters of gray-red clouds burst forth, speeding wildly in all directions.

Fierce winds suddenly rose on the flat ground, making the pitch-black underground palace brighten for a brief moment, extremely dazzling!

Not long after.

When the smoke and dust dissipated.

When the cultivators looked over in horror.

Sima Mingye and the two noble clan refiners had already turned into dust, and not even half a piece of flesh could be found...

And in mid-air, although Xiao Xiujing had half of his body missing, he was protected by a small golden bell and had actually survived.

He glanced coldly and quickly at Chen Heng's direction, said nothing, and the small golden bell turned into a golden light, wrapped his physical body, and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

The next instant, the Yin-Eroding Red Water and the Innate Great Sun Divine Light killed their way over, but they missed by a hair's breadth and fell into empty space.

"What a pity."

Chen Heng sighed, wiped his face with his hand, and revealed his true form.

"Junior Chen Xiao Shixiong?!"

Shen Ming was stunned at first, then couldn't help but be overjoyed, clapping and laughing.

"Go!"

Liu Guan scanned the area and saw that Xiao Xiujing's remaining forces were all in a state of loss of soul.

Even on his own side, many people were shaken and unable to control themselves.

He sighed inwardly, moved his gaze away from Chen Heng, fixed it coldly on He Manzi, as if to remember his appearance, then sent a sound transmission to several confidants beside him, crushed a talisman, and disappeared into misty star smoke.

"Kill!"

Shen Cheng gave a cold shout.

Zhao Tong and Shen Ming's reactions were not slow at all, and they each took action.

For a time.

The sounds of fighting rose again, boiling over the sky!

However, this time, it did not last long.

With those noble clan disciples either dead or fleeing, the field soon returned to silence...

"Chen Chen Shidi."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Cheng stepped forward, bowed deeply, and sighed:

"Good false form, good technique... it can truly deceive ghosts and gods!"

After this voice spread.

It instantly drew a sky-shaking shout!

The disciples shouted in unison, the sound wave was huge, like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, mountains shaking and mountains crumbling!

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen, no need for formalities. If not for your Daoist technique and adaptability, Xiao Xiujing and the others would not have been gathered in one place. This is not my merit alone."

Chen Heng helped him up and couldn't help but smile at each other.

At this moment.

Zhao Tong, Shen Ming, and the others also flew over. After exchanging greetings, Shen Cheng suddenly became solemn and opened his mouth:

"Junior Chen Xiao Shixiong's move can be said to have saved us from fire and water; the kindness is hard to repay! In my opinion, the items in the eighth-level palace should be selected by Junior Chen Xiao Shixiong first. Let's see which ones he likes, how about it?"

As soon as he said this.

He Manzi had no objections and was the first to nod in agreement.

Shen Ming and the Red-Browed Daoist looked at each other and also agreed.

As these people took their stand, the cultivators below could only bow.

"..."

Only Zhao Tong had a hint of struggle on his face, remaining silent.

But under He Manzi's sword-pressing gaze, he looked at Chen Heng, hesitated for a few breaths, and could only nod helplessly, smiling bitterly:

"This is a high opinion... I have nothing else to say."

Seeing that even Zhao Tong's attitude had loosened.

The refiners on his side, although a few were still slightly displeased, could not go against the public will and lowered their heads one after another.

"Since that is the case, then Chen will not be modest."

Chen Heng scanned the crowd, bowed slightly, and smiled.
