Chapter 592 Unexpected Changes
Inside the main hall.
The smoke from cigarettes curls upwards, the fruits are arranged on a plate, and the aroma of tea fills the air, refreshing and delightful.
The Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons sat in the main seat, with four Nascent Soul True Monarchs seated on either side.
"Sect Leader Chen has come from afar. May I ask what brings you here? If there is anything our sect can do to help you, please feel free to speak."
The Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons put down her teacup and her gaze fell on Chen Beiwu.
Chen Beiwu remained calm, picked up his teacup, and took a sip: "Does the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons know of the Great Array of Heaven and Earth that covers the nine realms of the Southern Wilderness?"
"Of course I know, Sect Leader Chen, you can speak frankly."
Lan Xinyi showed no change in expression, and the Supreme Elder beside her also appeared calm and composed.
"It may take a hundred years, or it may take a thousand years. The Great Array that has lasted for tens of thousands of years will eventually collapse. At that time, the Southern Wilderness will be reconnected with the Eastern Land, the Western Heaven, and the Northern Xuan Region. The situation will change drastically. I wonder how your sect plans to protect itself?"
Upon hearing Chen Beiwu's words, the four Supreme Elders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect exchanged glances, and the entire hall fell silent.
Only Lan Xinyi remained calm: "We'll just deal with whatever comes our way."
The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has been established for 30,000 years, maintaining its lineage and standing tall within the Xuan Yan territory, thanks to its formidable strength that deters all other forces from easily provoking it.
"With the foundation of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect alone, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the covetousness of the major immortal cultivation forces in the Eastern Region," Chen Beiwu said bluntly.
Lan Xinyi didn't take it seriously and retorted, "If my sect can't withstand it, does that mean your sect can?"
"Whether it is possible or not, I need not say more; the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons surely knows it perfectly well."
"My purpose in visiting your sect this time is to gather forces in the Xuan Yan Realm under the name of the Taiyi Orthodox Lineage and strengthen our influence so as to protect ourselves in the face of future upheavals."
At this point, Chen Beiwu glanced at Lan Xinyi: "Before coming to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, I had already met the Sect Master of the Desolate Gu Sect. He wished to become Jingyue's disciple. I wonder what the Ten Thousand Poisons Fairy will decide next?"
Upon hearing this, the four Supreme Elders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect all changed their expressions slightly, their eyes showing surprise.
Although the Desolate Gu Sect is a newly emerging overlord force in the Profound Realm, its ability to overthrow the Upper Sect and successfully replace the Thousand Gu Sect demonstrates its formidable strength, which is no less than that of the Myriad Poisons Sect.
Especially Tie Musheng, the sect leader of the Desolate Gu Sect, who possessed the inheritance of the Six Crippled True Venerables, was ruthless and vicious. In order to break through the gates of the Thousand Gu Sect, he did not hesitate to use the Heavenly Crippled Gu to massacre the entire sect.
Such a fierce and powerful figure was actually willing to bow down and lead the Desolate Gu cultivators to worship the Mirror Moon Sect as their superior sect.
This is truly unbelievable!
However, considering the experience of the Desolate Gu True Monarch betraying his sect, a strange look flashed in the eyes of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Could it be that True Lord Huang Gu intends to follow the same path he took, using the power of Mirror Moon Sect to accumulate strength, and then launch a full-scale attack on the superior sect?
Lan Xinyi, sitting in the main seat, narrowed her eyes, but did not doubt what Chen Beiwu said.
The reason was simple: although this was only their first meeting, she instinctively felt that the other party was highly skilled, confident, and would not stoop to lying.
"The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has been established for 30,000 years and has never been subordinate to anyone."
Lan Xinyi stood up and looked directly at Chen Beiwu: "If Sect Leader Chen has come to ask for pills and medicine, our sect will do everything in its power to help you."
"But if you want my sect to acknowledge Jingyue as the superior sect, that is absolutely impossible!"
Lan Xinyi spoke in a deep voice, leaving no room for negotiation: "Sect Leader Chen, please return."
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura that had reached the half-step Divine Transformation stage instantly locked onto Chen Beiwu.
The four Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect also stood up at the same time, their auras contained yet not released, restrained yet threatening, as if they might make a move at any moment.
"In that case, let's leave it at that."
Chen Beiwu chuckled and stood up, ignoring the aura emanating from Lan Xinyi and the other four.
The sect's traditions suited his tastes quite well.
Although Chen Beiwu's self-proclaimed goal is to unify the Xuan Yan Realm, he will not go against his own conscience in order to seize the fortune of a sect.
"???"
Upon seeing this, Li Xingyuan was slightly taken aback, quite surprised.
No, why does the sect leader treat them differently?
When faced with the Desolate Gu cultivators, the sect leader didn't say anything but to directly suppress them, yet he was so easy to talk to in front of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, giving up as soon as he said he would, treating the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's 30,000-year foundation as nothing.
Is there another benefit to having a good reputation among sects?
Lan Xinyi reacted differently, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu.
In her eyes, the Mirror Moon Sect had far-reaching ambitions, aiming for the Xuan Yan realm, so how could they possibly give up just because she refused?
"Should we take him down now?"
The sect's supreme leader sent a telepathic message to remind them.
Lan Xinyi remained silent, her mind racing, but she never expressed her agreement.
It's not difficult to leave the Mirror Moon Sect Master at the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain Gate, but it's easy to give the Mirror Moon Sect a pretext to cause trouble.
After all, refusing to become a vassal of Jingyue and capturing the Jingyue Sect Master are two different things, and the latter would undoubtedly enrage the Jingyue Sect completely.
"No, I already told him to leave. Are you going to make me break my promise?"
Lan Xinyi made her decision and watched Chen Beiwu leave the main hall.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Chen Beiwu had barely escaped from the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain Gate when he heard a low, muffled sound coming from the distant mountains. He paused and looked toward the source of the sound.
Inside the hall.
Upon hearing the muffled sound, the expressions of the Myriad Poison Fairy and the four True Lords all changed slightly.
The muffled sound came from the very spot where the sect's guardian beast, the Azure Ridge King Serpent, resided.
"What's going on?" The Supreme Lord Yizhen frowned.
"The Azure Ridge King Serpent's aura has vanished; it has disappeared without a trace!"
Lan Xinyi's face was grim. While deducing the secrets of heaven, she used her divine sense to probe the location of Chen Beiwu.
Could it be that she mistook someone for someone else?
There aren't that many coincidences in this world!
The Feast of Immortals is about to begin, and True Martial Lord comes to pay a visit.
Now that True Martial Lord has departed, the Jade King Serpent, who was in charge of the Immortal Feast in the sect, has suddenly disappeared.
"Sect Master, can you pinpoint the location of the King Serpent?" Another True Lord asked subconsciously, his expression grave.
If the King Serpent is lost, the Immortal Feast cannot be held. Wouldn't he miss the opportunity to attain the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?
cannot."
Lan Xinyi closed her eyes tightly and activated the sect's great formation to search, but she couldn't find any trace of it, and her heart sank.
The Jade Ridge King Serpent is an ultimate demon king with a cultivation level of 9,999 years.
Even if the Desolate Gu Sect and the Mirror Moon Sect joined forces, it would be impossible for them to bypass the sect's protective formation without anyone noticing and take away the Azure Ridge King Serpent silently without leaving a trace of its aura.
Unless there's a traitor within the sect!
"This matter is inextricably linked to the Huanggu and Jingyue sects. We must capture the Jingyue sect leader immediately and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the King Serpent," a True Monarch Taishang said sternly, urging his escape light to rush outwards.
This time, Lan Xinyi did not stop her.
Even if she didn't believe it in her heart, all the signs within the sect indicated that Chen Zi'ang, the sect leader of Jingyue Sect, was highly suspicious and could not escape the investigation.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
In an instant, countless streaks of light rose from the Wan Du Sect's mountain gate, led by the sect's True Monarch Tai Shang, converging into a mighty army of cultivators that headed straight for the direction Chen Beiwu had left. This caused the spiritual energy of the world to change drastically, presenting a somber and murderous atmosphere.
Rumble!
A clap of thunder sounded, and a light drizzle began to fall.
Li Xingyuan suddenly felt a sense of unease and instinctively looked behind him.
Lightning flashed, illuminating the massive army of cultivators that blotted out the sky.
"Sect Master, be careful!"
Li Xingyuan exclaimed in surprise, thinking that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was about to break off relations.
Chen Beiwu's expression remained unchanged, and he slightly tilted his head.
"call out!"
Just then, a emerald shadow tore through space, swept past the left side of Chen Beiwu's neck, and left behind wisps of barely perceptible colorless poison.
Chen Beiwu didn't even glance at the emerald shadow behind him. Instead, he looked up at the Myriad Poison Fairy, who stood atop the sky, leading a group of sect soldiers, her aura shaking the heavens and earth.
"Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow and asked frankly.
If the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons intended to kill him, the best option would undoubtedly be to take action within the sect using the mountain-protecting formation, rather than doing something superfluous by waiting for him to leave Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain.
If he wasn't mistaken, this sudden turn of events was most likely related to the strange noises that had recently occurred at the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain Gate.
"You now have two choices: either hand over the King Serpent and I will let you go, or cooperate with me to find out about the King Serpent's disappearance," the Myriad Poison Fairy said indifferently.
"I have always acted openly and honestly, so please don't slander me with empty words, Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons." Chen Beiwu glanced around and said calmly, "On the contrary, you all, since you're already here, why be so sneaky and make yourselves a laughing stock?"
"As expected of the Mirror Moon Sect Master, he can even detect my Five Elements Escape Technique."
In the void, a figure dressed in a green robe quietly appeared.
He looked young but spoke with an old-fashioned tone. He was none other than Zhao Zhixin, the supreme leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and a renowned Nascent Soul cultivator at the Xuan Yan realm.
"There are four more people. Let them all come out together."
As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, a figure appeared above, below, left, and right, all with the aura of the late Nascent Soul stage, blocking their retreat.
Clearly, in order to deal with him, apart from the Nascent Soul True Monarch who was in charge of guarding the mountain gate, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect had almost mobilized its entire force.
One half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, one Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator, and four late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!
Li Xingyuan's pupils contracted as he recognized the four figures, and his heart sank.
Guo Tianyu, the True Lord of Yunlu!
He Suxin, the True Lord of the Green Bag!
True Lord Crowbeak, Deng Buming!
The True Lord of Flowers has a new look!
These four are all renowned Nascent Soul True Monarchs within the Xuan Yan territory. Add to that Poisonous True Monarch Zhao Zhixin and Ten Thousand Poison Fairy Lan Xinyi, and this terrifying lineup can almost drive a Nascent Soul True Monarch to despair.
Moreover, to prevent them from escaping using the Mystic Escape Technique, the Myriad Poisons Sect went so far as to sacrifice the lives of its Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators by setting up the Myriad Poisons Soul Transformation Mystic Array, completely sealing off the world.
"Am I destined to perish here today?"
Li Xingyuan pushed his divine sense to its limit, but still couldn't find a glimmer of hope, and a shadow fell over his heart.
Only Chen Beiwu remained calm: "With such a grand display, it seems that the king cobra is extremely important to you."
"Surrender now, and I will grant you sufficient dignity." Zhao Zhixin was too lazy to waste any more words.
"I don't know what happened, but are you sure you want to be my enemy?"
Chen Beiwu chuckled lightly, his gaze falling on Lan Xinyi with a composed demeanor.
Seeing this, Lan Xinyi felt increasingly uneasy.
If it was truly the work of the Mirror Moon Sect Master, he would probably have already used his escape technique to leave. Why would he be traveling so slowly, allowing them to catch up?
"Truly arrogant!"
Guo Tianyu flipped his right hand, revealing a jade-green dagger above his palm, and then flicked it with his fingertip.
"call out!"
The dagger gleamed, transforming into dozens of thin, hair-like snakes that darted towards Chen Beiwu, interrupting Lan Xinyi's thoughts.
He Suxin formed a hand seal and spat out a fist-sized amount of black ink from her mouth.
These black inks may seem ordinary, but they are actually infantile sores poison that he refined using the secret method of ten thousand poisons.
The Infant Sore Poison is extremely toxic. It will explode instantly upon contact with the Nascent Soul's true Qi, polluting the cultivator's magic power and soul. Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator cannot withstand it and can only choose to avoid it.
At the same moment, Deng Buming and Jing Xinyan joined forces to unleash their profound abilities and summon their natal treasures, giving Chen Beiwu no chance to escape.
"Clang."
Chen Beiwu reacted calmly to this, simply drawing his Cold Yuan Dragon Blade, closing his eyes, and using his Heavenly Ear Profound Insight to hear the killing intent erupting from four directions.
Why bother!
Hearing the sudden sound behind her, He Suxin's eyes widened, and a chill ran down her spine.
When?
He Suxin subconsciously unleashed her Myriad Poisons Secret Technique in an attempt to escape.
But the instant he was locked onto by the sword intent, all the Heavenly Gang True Qi within his body fell into a dormant state.
"No—!" He Suxin's pupils contracted, her eyes filled with despair.
Even though the blade hadn't yet arrived, he could already foresee his own demise.
At the critical moment, Lan Xinyi made a move, urging Xuan Tong to point a finger at Chen Beiwu's head, attempting to save her fellow disciple by attacking where he would have to defend himself.
But under the intent of the Immortal-Slaying Blade, all resistance is meaningless.
The protective essence and protective treasure of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were as weak as paper, unable to even withstand the intent of the Immortal Slaying Blade for a moment.
"puff!"
The body was decapitated, and blood gushed out.
Under Lan Xinyi's astonished gaze, He Suxin's nascent soul embraced her golden core and hurriedly fled, without even the slightest courage to resist.
"Is this the fifth realm of swordsmanship, the sword intent soaring to the heavens?"
Upon seeing this, Guo Tianyu and his two companions were immediately filled with horror.
Before the blade even touched the ground, it could sever both magic and profound techniques, easily cleaving a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in two!
Aside from the legendary Five Realms Sword Intent, they couldn't think of any other possibility. They all activated their escape lights to create distance and immediately moved closer to Poisonous True Monarch Zhao Zhixin.
"court death!"
Lan Xinyi originally intended to capture Chen Ziang, but when she saw that the sect's elder was on the verge of death and only the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators were frantically fleeing, a spark of anger rose in her heart, and a dazzling green light emanated from her fingertips.
Xuan Tong, smeared flowers with ten thousand erosions!
The "Flower-Eroding Myriad Erosions" technique is extremely powerful and is one of the highest secret techniques of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. It can only be practiced by those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Once unleashed, it can use its own dantian as a furnace to unify all poisons, effortlessly killing cultivators of the same realm with a single finger.
It is no exaggeration to say that within the Xuan Yan territory, even a half-step Nascent Soul level being would not dare to directly confront the sharp edge of Zhan Hua Wan Shi.
"boom!"
Unexpectedly, when the finger fell, Chen Beiwu stood still, while Lan Xinyi retreated dozens of steps backward.
"Is this the Taiyi Immortal Technique?"
Barely managing to stop herself, Lan Xinyi looked at the seemingly real yet illusory Qinghua Wanling Wall in front of Chen Beiwu, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
In terms of cultivation level, she was far superior to Chen Ziang. Logically speaking, she only needed to touch the flower with her finger to strike the Myriad Erosions, which would completely deprive the latter of his fighting power.
However, relying on the ancient Taiyi Immortal Technique, the opponent was able to display combat power that surpassed that of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, treating Zhan Hua Wan Shi as nothing.
"Whether you believe it or not, the matter of the king cobra is none of my business."
Chen Beiwu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm: "But it doesn't matter. After suppressing you, I will find the culprit who shifted the blame."
