Chapter 125
Xu Chen was in high spirits; finally, he glanced at the two perfect Grade Eight puppets, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He estimated he could not break the perfect Grade Eight flesh and blood.
But, one of the heroines can do it!
If you cannot win, call the girls!
At this moment, everything unfolded exactly as Xu Chen had predicted.
The elders of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, hidden within the spatial rift, were soon forced out by the female protagonists. Xu Chen did not know how they managed it, but he knew that Bu Fengshuang, Yi Bingrou, and Yin Suyun were truly formidable.
If they were enemies, he would not have been willing to engage them in battle.
In fact, without Xu Chen even needing to speak, the three women had already subdued all the elders of the early, mid, and late stages of the eighth rank.
Even the only two eighth-rank perfection experts were currently struggling to hold their own against Bu Fengshuang alone.
Indeed, Bu Fengshuang had simply set up a top-tier eighth-rank formation, and those two eighth-rank perfection experts could not break free.
At that moment, the faces of the two eighth-rank perfection experts turned grim: "Damn it, what kind of formation master is this? He set up an eighth-rank formation in an instant."
For a moment, the two felt a sense of despair.
Xu Chen instructed, "Bingrou, Suyun, how are those early and late-stage eighth-rank ones?" The two women replied, "Their dantians are all ruined, and we took their storage rings. Here." Xu Chen smiled as he accepted the storage rings.
After searching, he found roughly two hundred thousand spirit stones. "Oh, not bad." Those people, with grim faces, gritted their teeth and said, "Xu Chen, relying on women is no sign of skill. If you have the guts, step aside and fight us one-on-one."
Xu Chen chuckled, "I rely on women by my own merit, something you can never achieve." Around them, Liang Qing and others winced; Xu Chen was indeed shameless, but his words were not wrong.
Those women were truly conquered by his own ability; you lot, who use gu poison, cannot do the same!
For a moment, the various sects were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
That damned thief Xu Chen! Not only do those three women possess peerless beauty, but their strength is also so formidable.
Why don't we have anyone like that by our side? Damn it.
The people of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect and the Five Poisons Sect twitched at the corners of their mouths and said, "If you have the guts, let us go."
Xu Chen said indifferently, "You? I don't even want to waste my spiritual energy on you; a bunch of trash."
The people of the two sects, with grim faces, retorted, "Hmph! We have many such puppets distributed across various regions. Can you kill them all?"
Xu Chen laughed, "Of course I can. The more the better; I was just complaining about having too few puppet crystals." As he spoke, Bu Fengshuang had already slain the two eighth-rank perfection experts.
Bu Fengshuang handed a storage ring to Xu Chen. "There are one hundred thousand spirit stones in here, along with some eighth-rank elixirs."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately burned with greed as they stared at the storage ring.
Damn! If we could snatch this, we would really want to!
But there was no way; Xu Chen was the Young Alliance Master, and his women were simply too powerful.
Any one of those three women could crush them all.
The people of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect and the Five Poisons Sect looked grim; an eighth-rank perfection crystal was worth as much as sixty thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Only they knew the immense value hidden within.
Xu Chen nodded and accepted it, then said, "The puppet crystals below the eighth rank will be left for the various sects."
He certainly could not take everything, or the sects would harbor resentment.
Taking these twenty-five eighth-rank puppet crystals was enough. Upon hearing this, the various sects were instantly delighted: "Yes, Young Alliance Master."
Xu Chen looked at Bu Fengshuang and asked, "Have the other gu poison bases been located recently?" Bu Fengshuang nodded, "They have basically been found. After leveling the Tianjian Sect here, we can proceed to destroy the others."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen then cheerfully looked at Liang Qing. "Sect Master, I sense something ominous within your Tianjian Sect."
Liang Qing twitched at the corner of his mouth. "What do you mean?" Xu Chen spun a tale, "Look, last time the Calamity came to you of its own accord, and this time the gu poison puppets came voluntarily.
Think about it: why does your Tianjian Sect attract such filth so easily, while no immortal beasts or divine beasts come?
It must be because there is something ominous here. Ominous things attract calamities; if not removed, there will surely be danger in the future!" Liang Qing had long suspected this; upon hearing Xu Chen's words, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Does the Young Alliance Master have a solution?"
Xu Chen pondered, "There is one, but it carries considerable risk..."
Liang Qing hurriedly said, "If the Young Alliance Master can remove the ominous presence, this Sect Master is willing to give you one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Xu Chen feigned difficulty, "A mere hundred thousand is not much to me, but since the Sect Master has spoken, very well.
I will reluctantly lend my hand once, but let me be clear: how to deal with the ominous presence inside must be up to me.
You cannot intervene, to prevent accidents; otherwise, I will not do this job!" Liang Qing was overjoyed, "Of course, it is entirely up to the Young Alliance Master. Please remove the ominous presence from our Tianjian Sect." The disciples and elders of the Tianjian Sect also bowed and said, "Please, Young Alliance Master, remove the ominous presence." Upon hearing this, Xu Chen felt slightly embarrassed.
After all, there was a ninety percent chance that something precious lay beneath the Tianjian Sect.
Deceiving Liang Qing so directly was a bit awkward.
He said, "What if it is something good..."
Liang Qing said firmly, "If there is something good, it shall be given to the Young Alliance Master. We only ask that the ominous presence be removed."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen shouted loudly, "Good, I love to hear that! Even with the risks, I will help."
Having finished speaking, Xu Chen turned to look at Ye Xuan. "Ye Xuan, go check beneath the Tianjian Sect."
Ye Xuan's face immediately turned black.
Are you insane? You make the promise, and then you make me clear the path?
Damn it! You bastard, act like a human being!
Ye Xuan snorted coldly, "No benefit, no way."
Xu Chen said indifferently, "You just collected quite a few seventh-rank puppet crystals, at least twenty or more. If you don't want them..."
Ye Xuan cursed, "Fine, damn it!"
Having spoken, Ye Xuan wrapped his body in the White Profound Heavenly Fire and dove straight from the ground into the underground.
Of course, before entering the depths, countless people projected their spiritual sense onto Ye Xuan.
Therefore, everyone could clearly see everything Ye Xuan encountered as he entered the underground.
Soon, everyone saw that Ye Xuan had found an underground secret chamber.
As Ye Xuan approached the chamber, a giant snake emitting the aura of an eighth-rank perfection expert suddenly appeared.
Its scarlet pupils looked exceptionally terrifying in the underground darkness; as it flicked its tongue, it made people's scalps crawl.
The drool in its mouth was estimated to smell foul, as Ye Xuan had already covered his mouth.
Terrified out of his wits, Ye Xuan immediately activated his movement technique and attempted to flee.
The giant snake, ten times the size of Ye Xuan, immediately pursued him, spewing poison venom wildly.
Ye Xuan's face turned green as he cursed Xu Chen repeatedly in his heart.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan possessed great fortune and was not seriously injured by the venomous snake.
However, his appearance was quite wretched and deeply embarrassing.
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "There is a secret chamber below containing a massive snake, a Perfect Eighth-Rank one. I cannot defeat it."
Xu Chen said, "You've worked hard. Now, your father will personally go down to deal with the great snake."
"Feng Shuang, Bing Rou, and Suyun, please stay close to me." The three women nodded and followed Xu Chen closely, entering the underground area once more.
Ye Xuan's expression was grim as he ground his teeth.
Xu Chen, you son of a bitch, I hope you get bitten to death by that venomous snake right now, damn it.
Seeing this, Liang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had not been the first to go down; otherwise, a mere Late Eighth-Ranker like him would likely have perished.
Xu Chen is much better!
However, Liang Qing never expected that the moment Xu Chen and the other three approached the secret chamber,
in less than three breaths, the giant snake was gone.
Bu Fengshuang trapped it with a formation, Yi Bingrou froze the giant snake with ice, and Yin Suyun finished it off with a single spear thrust.
The entire process was as fast as it could possibly be, like eating and drinking. Everyone: "..."
They knew the three women were powerful, but they truly never expected them to be so formidable when working together.
Numb!
Soon, everyone saw Xu Chen open the door to the secret chamber.
Afterwards, everyone was stunned to see that there were roughly thirty or more Eighth-Rank spiritual herbs inside.
Dream-Grade Dragon Marrow, Dao Source Liquid, Spirit-Connecting Fruit, and Spirit-Nourishing Grass!
Black Profound Ice Stone, Nine Yin Nether Grass, Enlightenment Dao Divine Flower, and Seven Stars Embracing the Moon Flower!
Wind and Thunder Sacred Fruit, Azure Water Sacred Fruit, and Water Moon Sacred Fruit!
Damn it, they are all Eighth-Rank supreme-grade medicinal herbs, with waves of fragrance constantly wafting out.
