Zong Zhenghao executed a Secret Technique and soared into the sky. He wanted to leave the battlefield, to stop fighting with Xiao Chen.
"Bang!"
When Zong Zhenghao reached a thousand meters away, he ran into a formless barrier and was knocked back down. Horror filled his face.
When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he smiled coldly and sheathed his saber. The electricity in the sky gathered together and formed a purple Lightning Talisman.
Xiao Chen pointed, and a purple light flew out. The immortal inscriptions on the talisman spun. Zong Zhenghao, who had fallen to the ground, had no time to react. The talisman easily broke his weak protective Quintessence.
With a 'pu ci' sound, a bloody hole appeared in Zong Zhenghao's chest. He roared in dissatisfaction and walked over to Xiao Chen. In the end, he only took ten steps before he collapsed.
The purple talisman returned to Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness. Then, he waved his hand, and the Universe Flags turned into beams of light and landed in his palm.
This was the first time he used the Universe Flags, and the results were pretty good. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and took out Zong Zhenghao's Universe Ring.
Xiao Chen found the broken half of the Mulberry Sword. Xiao Chen could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that Zong Zhenghao would smelt this broken sword. If that was the case, there would be no point in finding it.
Xiao Chen took back the broken half of the Mulberry Sword for Ao Jiao, nothing else.
Ao Jiao revealed herself and played with the broken half of the Mulberry Sword that Xiao Chen handed to her. She revealed a nostalgic expression in her eyes. Compared to before, that sorrowful expression was nowhere to be seen.
The matters of the Thunder King were already in the depths of her mind, becoming memories. She could reminisce about them but not feel sad. One had to look forward.
"Hehe! There are many good materials in this broken half of the Mulberry Sword. Are you really going to give it to me and not smelt it back?"
The broken half of the sword flew around in Ao Jiao's hand. It was like she had an extra arm; she was very familiar with it.
Xiao Chen curled his lips and pretended to be angry. He said, "Strange, am I such a selfish person in your eyes?"
Ao Jiao giggled and said, "Hehe, stupid master, you still have some self-awareness huh?"
"I suddenly feel that I have to change my mind. If I reforge it, I might be able to obtain one or two more materials to upgrade the Lunar Shadow Saber."
"Dream on. How could I give you something that you gave me back? Besides, it was originally mine."
The two of them bickered happily as they quickly left this place, heading toward the city of the Profound Domain's Ying Clan.
Naturally, Xiao Chen could not rely on his own strength to fly to the Profound Domain. Given the vast borders of the Kunlun Realm, even if it was not a boundless sea, he would not be able to fly to the Profound Domain.
At the very least, one would need to be at the level of the Blue Robed Emperor to be able to rely on their own strength to travel unhindered in all directions.
This had to do with the spatial structure of the Kunlun Realm. Once the speed reached a critical point, it could not be increased any further. He had to tear through the void. Otherwise, the faster he moved, the greater the resistance and the greater the consumption.
No one in the Martial Sage Realm could withstand it.
After circling around for a while, Xiao Chen finally returned to the Tianwu Domain's Central Province.
Due to the impending Demonic God Blood Sacrifice, the peak factions of the Primal Chaos Domain started to reshuffle. They were all prepared to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune.
For the sake of the impending chaos, they all expanded their territories and frantically replenished their strength.
Several cities with transportation formations fell under strict control. Xiao Chen had to spend some effort to find a way to get a spot. He spent a large sum of money to obtain a transportation formation.
There were some stories that happened, and he saw the true dangers of the Primal Chaos Domain. This was a chaotic land where the five major races and some ancient races gathered.
As an Inferior Grade Martial Sage, Xiao Chen could not be too unbridled. Otherwise, his life would be in danger.
This was indeed a paradise for rogue cultivators. There were no scruples, and there were no dignified guardians. Whoever had the bigger fist was the truth.
The strong grew stronger, and the weak grew weaker. The survival of the fittest was a cruel daily scene.
After seeing the horrifying accumulations of some of the major factions, Xiao Chen felt somewhat worried. If the Demonic God Blood Sacrifice came, the Demons would choose to attack the Tianwu Domain.
There would be the army of the Demons in front and the evil cultivators taking advantage of the situation behind. To the Tianwu Domain, this would be a huge disaster.
However, there was still some time to prepare. According to the information that Xiao Chen obtained, the Demonic God Blood Sacrifice this time would take place at least ten years later.
However, ten years was not a long time. Based on Xiao Chen's experience, he had already been in this world for six years. Based on the age of this world, he was already twenty-three years old.
To Xiao Chen, the events of six years ago were still fresh in his mind.
…
As a Sovereign Noble Clan, the Ying Clan had been in the Profound Domain for tens of thousands of years. Their faction could be said to be spread throughout the Profound Domain. They were not much stronger than Bushin Palace.
However, they were not as strong in terms of peak experts.
After Xiao Chen arrived in the Profound Domain, he flew all the way to the Ying Clan's headquarters, Qin City. This was a city even more majestic than Haotian City.
Based on this, the name of the Sky Dome Realm's Great Qin Nation should have something to do with this Qin City.
Although this city was the Ying Clan's headquarters, it was open to the outside world. The entire city was very prosperous. In terms of commercial development alone, it could leave Haotian City in the dust.
After putting on a black cloak and entering the city, Xiao Chen headed straight for the largest inn in the city, the Heavenly Water Restaurant.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the inn, he informed the waiter and was immediately led to a private room for distinguished guests.
"This guest, please wait for a while. The Young Miss will be here soon," the waiter said respectfully to Xiao Chen in the private room.
After waiting for three or four months, Xiao Chen was not afraid of waiting any longer. He waved his hand and dismissed the waiter. Since he had nothing to do, he took out the painting of the Qing Emperor drawing the saber and looked at it.
Xiao Chen was already used to the feeling of being killed. Now, when he faced this painting of the Qing Emperor drawing the saber, he could remain as still as a mountain, not panicking at all.
He could only deal with the person in the painting in that mysterious space.
After about ten minutes, Xiao Chen heard footsteps. He put away the painting of the Qing Emperor drawing the saber and waited quietly.
"Young Master Xiao, it has only been three or four months, yet you have become so cautious. This is not like you."
"Creak!" The door opened gently, and Ying Qiong, dressed in phoenix robes, walked in with a smile on his face.
Xiao Chen removed his hood and said calmly, "The other three Sovereign Noble Clans view me as a thorn in their side. Now that I have come to the Profound Domain, I have to be more cautious."
Ying Qiong sat across from Xiao Chen. His alluring figure exuded a boundless charm. He revealed a meaningful smile and said, "The descendant of the Qing Emperor, the first rank of the human Proud Son of Heaven Ranking. It would be hard for you not to attract attention."
Xiao Chen did not want to linger on this topic, so he went straight to the point. "You breached the contract, two months later than the agreed time."
A mischievous expression appeared on Ying Qiong's pretty face. She smiled craftily and said, "This is not considered breaching the contract. If not for the fact that you wanted to collect two sets of ingredients, I would have prepared them for you long ago."
According to the unwritten rules, if one breached the contract, they would have to pay a certain price to make it up to the other party. Clearly, Ying Qiong did not want to suffer such a loss.
Xiao Chen did not bother arguing with her. He took out the other half of the Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting and said, "Take it out, then. Refining the Breaking Sage Pill will take some time. I do not have much time to waste."
Ying Qiong did not beat around the bush. With a flip of her hand, three brocade boxes appeared in front of her, floating quietly. Then she flicked her finger, and the brocade boxes opened.
Instantly, a dense medicinal fragrance wafted out. Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense and easily determined the authenticity of the ingredients. The Flaming Sun Fruit, the Three Holy Masters Grass, and the Heaven Dragon Flower were all real.
"Good, you did not lie to me. You are indeed capable. You can bring me the three main ingredients now," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
However, Ying Qiong smiled faintly and did not move. She said, "Bring me the other half of the core painting piece first. After that, I will give you the three main ingredients."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? You don't trust me?"
"Haha! Why would you trust me?"
There was indeed no sense of trust between the two of them. This girl had already tricked Xiao Chen once in the Star Grave. Naturally, he would not let it happen again.
Although the other half of the core painting piece could not allow Xiao Chen to become a Martial Sage, it was still very useful. Ying Qiong was worried that Xiao Chen would go back on their agreement after obtaining the other half of the core painting piece.
For the sake of secrecy, she did not bring many people with her. Given Xiao Chen's methods, even if he wanted to kill her, he would not be able to keep her here.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. After thinking for a while, he said, "Very well. Since that is the case, how about we push the things in our hands to each other at a constant speed?"
Ying Qiong did not have any misgivings about this. She said, "That is exactly what I was thinking!"
Xiao Chen gently raised his palm and pushed. The core painting piece giving off a faint light slowly moved towards the other party.
Ying Qiong did the same, slowly pushing the three brocade boxes towards the other party.
The two brocade boxes were less than half a meter away from each other. However, the speed of the two items was like that of a snail. After a few minutes, they barely crossed the halfway mark. The treasures of both sides overlapped in the air.
Both of them heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they crossed the middle, they would be able to take what they wanted.
"Bang!"
Just as the two of them focused on each other, a figure suddenly knocked over the door to the booth. The expressions of Xiao Chen and Ying Qiong changed at the same time. They quickly put away their things.
The person who knocked over the door was an old woman with a high cultivation. When Xiao Chen checked, he felt that she was at least a Medial Grade Martial Sage.
Ying Qiong's expression appeared even more flustered than Xiao Chen's. He helped the old woman up with a sullen expression and asked, "What's going on?"
"Young Miss, leave quickly. The people outside are all dead. I cannot last much longer, either," the old woman said as she coughed and vomited a mouthful of blood. Clearly, she suffered severe internal injuries.
"Whoosh!"
A figure flashed outside the door, and a yellow-robed old man appeared. He smiled coldly and said, "You want to leave? Do you think that is possible?"
Ying Qiong's expression changed. He exclaimed, "Third Uncle, why is it you?!"
The person who came was actually Ying Qiong's Third Uncle, someone who held a high position in the clan and was extremely strong.
The old woman struggled to get up and pushed Ying Qiong back. She said, "Leave quickly. Don't bother about me."
Ying Qiong struggled in his heart for a while before he roughly understood what was going on. He turned around and leaped towards the booth's window.
