The number of evil spirits that Xiao Chen had killed in the Devil's Den was uncountable. Even the most conservative estimate would be in the tens of thousands. His entire body was shrouded in a layer of black baleful aura that was close to materialization. Ordinary people would not be able to see it with their naked eyes, but as long as it was a practitioner, they would definitely be able to detect it. This stumped him. He couldn't enter the city at all, or he would quickly be noticed by others.
"I'm hungry …"
Keke looked very pitiful as she blinked her large innocent eyes at Xiao Chen. She wished she could immediately fly into the city and find a restaurant to have a feast.
However, how could Xiao Chen feel at ease letting the little fellow travel alone? He was determined to keep it by his side.
"Bear with it for a few more days. Wait until I completely refine the baleful aura in my body."
Who knew that he would have to wait for three whole months.
In the third month of spring, the birds were flying, the grass was long, the willows were swaying, and the warm wind was blowing. The smell of the earth was mixed with the fragrance of the grass, making people feel that the world was so lively and harmonious.
At this moment, Xiao Chen and Keke's eyes were emitting light. There was no need to think about it, they were looking for beautiful things. They looked past the lush green garden, avoided those youthful and beautiful girls, and directly set their gaze on the red-crowned cranes flying in the sky.
"The dark night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find roasted cranes …"
The snow-white little critter murmured. It couldn't help but wipe its saliva.
"Be reserved …"
Although Xiao Chen was scolding Keke like this, his own eyes were also emitting a green light like a wolf's. He had been trapped in the Devil's Cave in the world of death for more than four years. Every day, he had to fight against the eerie and terrifying undead and get drenched in the ice-cold demon's blood. Now, everything he saw was a delicacy.
"Who are you?"
In the garden. A few pretty young girls questioned Xiao Chen. Not far away, there were a few men reciting poems and painting on the grass. Alarmed, he walked over as well.
It was obvious that this was a group of scholars and beauties. Seeing a stranger like Xiao Chen barging into this place, they were all shocked. He was instantly on high alert.
"Candied date cake, butter tea, eight delicacies, crystal dumplings …"
The snow-white little critter stared at those snacks on the grassland. He was almost petrified. His pair of big eyes that were filled with spiritual energy were completely stunned. Then, like a pitiful child, he murmured, "Mine … it's all mine …"
The little fellow had been trapped in the World of Death for thirteen years. He finally returned to the real world. The gluttonous bug in his stomach had completely awakened. Now, even if he saw a goose feather, he would fantasize about a fragrant roast goose. Not to mention witnessing the exquisite pastries with his own eyes.
The little thing was starving.
The group of talented scholars and beautiful ladies surrounded Xiao Chen together. Naturally, they did not have a good expression on their faces when facing the savage Xiao Chen.
"Bang!" Xiao Chen directly used a big stick to solve the problem. A scholar's head was smashed until it bled. He screamed miserably and fell to the ground. A beautiful young girl even fainted on the spot.
"Barbaric!"
"Brute!"
The group of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies dispersed and quickly disappeared without a trace.
The man and the beast swaggered forward and began to enjoy the pastries. After being away from the human world for thirteen years, any food was now a delicacy to them.
When the scholar whose head was smashed open and the beauty who fainted woke up, they just happened to see Xiao Chen and Keke patiently roasting two red-crowned cranes.
"Barbaric butcher, you actually roasted A 'Ying and the others …"
The girl screamed.
When the scholar saw the zither in the fire, he wailed, "My family's Scorched Tail Zither …"
The two of them rolled their eyes and fainted again.
When Xiao Chen and Keke were satisfied with the food, they rested on the grassland for a long time. Only then did they lazily stand up together.
"We can't eat other people's food for free. Let's leave two immortal fruits for them."
Xiao Chen stretched his body and took a cold bath in the river at the side. He found a set of clothes from the Lost Paradise and put them on.
"Art is priceless … …"
The little critter muttered in a low voice and painfully left behind two immortal fruits.
"You even said that you were the one who threw that Scorched Tail Zither into the fire."
Xiao Chen and Keke left Yongzhou and headed east. They arrived at Yanjing two days later.
Yanjing was the ancient capital of the north. It had been an important place since ancient times. The city walls were tall and the top was wide enough for horses to gallop. The walls were made of green bricks. Not only was it thick and sturdy, it also gave people a feeling of grandeur. There were watchtowers, arrow towers, and gate towers on the city gate. They were towering in the sky and looked very imposing.
Looking from afar, Yanjing's purple aura soared to the sky. However, only people who had reached Xiao Chen's level could clearly see the soaring purple aura.
He frowned. Only now did he finally understand why the hundred races would fight over the famous cities.
Taking Yanjing as an example, the purple dragon aura soared to the sky. There must be a majestic ancestral vein under the ground. There must be an endless amount of spiritual energy gathering to form the spiritual roots of the earth. If one cultivated under the ground of Yanjing, their cultivation speed would definitely increase by several folds.
In a sense, Yanjing, Jinling, Luoyang, Chang 'an, and other famous cities were more suitable for the strong to cultivate than the five sacred mountains.
Not only did Xiao Chen change his appearance, Keke also unwillingly turned into a black kitten. Only then did they enter Yanjing.
"I'm so hungry … …"
Keke rubbed her belly pitifully.
"Don't worry, you will be able to taste all the delicacies of Yanjing in a while."
Xiao Chen was in a good mood when he saw the purple aura soaring to the sky. He said, "After you prepare your little sacred tree, we will go and plant it tonight … …"
"I'm hungry … …"
"Alright, I'm afraid of you. Actually, I'm also very hungry."
Xiao Chen brought Keke into Yanjing. The bustling main street was bustling with people, the sound of people peddling their wares rose and fell. Compared to the lifeless Continent of Death, it was like heaven and earth.
"In this life, I only wish to fall into this mortal world … …"
After experiencing the monotony and dullness of the world of the dead, Xiao Chen especially cherished this lively world. At this moment, everything was fresh and beautiful in his eyes.
Unfortunately, this beautiful feeling only lasted for a moment before it was interrupted by a rough voice.
"The Young Noble Xiao Yao is out, pedestrians make way!"
While Xiao Chen was distracted for a moment, a group of people already rushed over. The people shouted and the horses neighed. The pedestrians all got out of the way.
"Get lost!"
More than ten galloping horses opened up a path in front of them. It looked like they were about to trample an old woman under the hooves of those bowl-sized horses.
Xiao Chen took a step forward and pulled the old woman to the side. Although they managed to avoid being trampled by the horses, the horsewhip lashed over.
"You're courting death, why are you still not getting lost?!"
The arrogant and despotic rider revealed an ominous glint in his eyes. It seemed like he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's righteous action.
"What a big tone, what arrogance … …"
Xiao Chen sneered and took a step back. After that, with a "bang" sound, he grabbed the horsewhip and pulled it with force. That rider immediately fell head first to the ground.
His mount was the famous Mystical Lion Horse. The horse's mane was fluffy like a male lion's mane. It was exceptionally mighty and was a famous divine horse. It ran as fast as lightning and could run seventy li in an hour. It was also known as the Seventy Horse.
The bowl-sized horse hooves trampled on the fallen rider's body with a "bang" sound. Immediately, he let out a muffled groan.
"How dare you! You're courting death!"
The rider glared at Xiao Chen and leaped up. He didn't receive any injury from the horse's hooves. It was obvious that he was not a weak practitioner.
He raised the horsewhip in his hand and lashed it towards Xiao Chen's face. If an ordinary person was hit by it, perhaps all their teeth would fly out.
"Kacha … …"
The sound of bones breaking rang out. The rider's palm was firmly held in Xiao Chen's hand. He slowly kneaded it. Every time he kneaded, it would emit a "kacha kacha" sound. The rider's palm softened like a noodle.
"Ah … …"
The rider let out a miserable wail.
The other riders riding on the Mystical Lion Horse were alarmed. The street was immediately thrown into chaos. More than ten riders urged their horses to turn around and rush over.
"Audacious madman, you actually dare to commit murder on the street. Take him down!"
The leader of the riders ordered. He immediately unsheathed his sword and slashed at Xiao Chen.
"Clang … …"
Xiao Chen lightly flicked his finger. The long sword that was aimed at the rider's head was immediately broken into two. It fell to the ground and let out a crisp sound.
"Attack together, chop him up!"
It was very obvious that this group of riders were used to being arrogant and despotic. Although they could see that Xiao Chen's skill was extraordinary, they weren't afraid. That was because the power behind them was too great.
More than ten people raised their swords and slashed at Xiao Chen.
However, the swords and sabers were all shattered in an instant. Moreover, it was only a finger that caused this result. Then, with a tap of another finger, more than ten riders all fell to the ground. Every single one of them had their arm bones completely shattered.
"Who dares to cause trouble on the street and obstruct the Young Noble Xiao Yao's journey?"
The chaos at the front naturally alarmed the carriages at the back.
Eight xiuzhe flew over.
The old woman that was saved by Xiao Chen pulled on the corner of Xiao Chen's robe and said anxiously, "Young man, quickly run."
"You go first."
Xiao Chen watched as the old woman disappeared into the crowd. Then, he looked at the three approaching with a sneer. He already knew which power had entered Yandu. They were originally here to "cause trouble" and "plant trees". Naturally, he wasn't afraid of making a big fuss.
"Young man, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Didn't your elders tell you what kind of place Yandu is before you left?"
An old man's voice was cold as he stared at Xiao Chen.
"What kind of place is Yandu?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's question, the eight practitioners were even more certain that this was a newbie who didn't know anything. They stared at him as if he was a dead man.
"The ruler of Yandu, the Young Noble Xiao Yao, has the support of a deity. If you dare to come here and cause trouble, I'm afraid your elders will definitely chase you out of the sect if they find out.
"Deity … Which deity?"
"You … really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The old man sneered, "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'Once the Heavenly King of Plentiful Treasures Wu Ming appears, who dares to challenge him?'. There are at least three to five such experts training in Yandu."
When the old man mentioned the two words Wu Ming, he looked at Xiao Chen with contempt and kept sneering.
"Who is Wu Ming? Doesn't he have a name? The Heavenly King of Blacksmiths or the Heavenly King of Cauldrons? "
"You … Idiot, you are definitely going to die this time!"
The eight of them made their moves one after another. Sword Qi and Saber Qi merged together and submerged Xiao Chen in an instant. However, they soon found out that all kinds of attacks were useless against Xiao Chen. The bright divine radiance all disappeared into nothingness on the surface of his body.
And that young man in the middle of the field flicked his finger lightly. They immediately felt as if they were struck by lightning. It was as if the heavenly thunder suddenly exploded beside their ears. The eight of them fainted in an instant.
"Who's making a racket?"
A young man's voice came from the extravagant carriage behind them. Someone lifted the curtain for him and helped him down from the carriage.
Two white-haired old men followed closely behind him. When they saw more than ten knights and eight guards lying on the ground, the pale young man who had drunk too much immediately flew into a rage.
"How dare you! You actually dare to touch this Marquis's people! Go together and take him down!"
This young Marquis was the only son of the Xiao Yao Marquis. He was used to ordering people around. And today, he had to go and receive an important guest. Because of that, he was delayed. This made him jump in rage again and again.
However, the people who rushed forward almost didn't even have the chance to make a move before they were all lying on the ground. The two old men following closely behind the Xiao Yao Marquis looked at each other and revealed a horrified expression. They whispered to the Xiao Yao Marquis.
"This won't do. Go to the mansion and call people over. We must take him down for me."
His facial features were almost sinister. Who would dare to offend him normally? How could he tolerate such a thing happening today?
Seeing one of the old men leave, Xiao Chen smiled lazily. He slowly walked forward and said, "You are a spoiled brat. It looks like you are used to acting like a tyrant. However, it doesn't matter if you are a dragon or a dog. You have to crawl before me. "
Xiao Chen slowly walked over. That harmless smile of his caused the expression of the old man behind the Xiao Yao Marquis to change. He quickly rushed forward.
Who would have imagined that Xiao Chen would send him flying with a gentle tap. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Following that, Xiao Chen arrived beside the Xiao Yao Marquis and asked, "What kind of little monkey are you?"
"This Marquis … I am the Xiao Yao Marquis …"
At this moment, he was already putting on a strong front. His voice was trembling.
"It doesn't matter if you are a monkey or a dog. Kneel down as well."
Xiao Chen gently patted his shoulder. This Xiao Yao Marquis immediately cramped up. His body was like a sieve as he obediently kneeled on the ground.
"My father is …"
"I know. Isn't he just an old monkey?"
Xiao Chen walked around casually. A few times, he stepped on the Xiao Yao Marquis's face, immediately causing him to wail like ghosts and howl like wolves.
"My father and a few deities …"
"Shut up. Be more obedient. You are too noisy."
Xiao Chen ordered casually. Then, he stepped on the Xiao Yao Marquis's face again.
Immediately, the people of the Marquis's Residence lying on the ground kept quiet out of fear.
"Too slow! Too slow! Why are the experts of your Monkey Residence so slow?"
When the Xiao Yao Marquis heard this, he felt like crying. Even though he was arrogant and ignorant of worldly affairs, he knew that this person before him was extremely powerful. He was here to cause trouble.
In the distance, many ordinary people on the street felt that their anger had been vented. Unexpectedly, someone managed to deal with this tyrannical young man. This was truly satisfying.
In the distant sky, the sound of a bell rang. A winged divine leopard pulled a carriage and flew over. Ten-odd young men and women flew in the sky, protecting the carriage.
The Xiao Yao Marquis immediately revealed an expression of joy. This was the honored guest he was waiting for. His father had instructed him to do his best to please this fairy.
"You know them?"
Xiao Chen asked.
The Xiao Yao Marquis ignored Xiao Chen and suddenly shouted, "Fairy, save me …"
The carriage in the sky was shrouded in multicolored light. Thousands of auspicious lights shone as it slowly descended.
Seeing an immortal descending, the surrounding ordinary people immediately retreated in reverence.
"What a grand show of extravagance."
Xiao Chen snorted coldly. The baleful aura that was condensed from killing millions of evil spirits suddenly burst out.
In that instant, that winged Divine Leopard was so frightened that it knelt on the ground. The carriage landed heavily on the ground.
The black baleful aura did not rush towards those people. It disappeared in an instant.
"Who dares disturb the carriage?"
A young girl's bell-like voice came from within the carriage.
And the ten-odd young men and women protecting the carriage rushed forward at the same time. They looked at Xiao Chen with hostility.
"Get down, get down!"
Xiao Chen pointed forward. The ten-odd young men and women who had reached the Immortality Realm, although they did their best to resist, they all fell to the ground in the end.
The Xiao Yao Marquis and the others at the back were completely dumbfounded. The True Gods obediently lay on the ground. After seeing this situation, their entire body was trembling.
"Dong … …"
A long bell rang. A beautiful middle-aged woman rushed out from the carriage and shouted, "Who dares to harm my Young Mistress?"
"A replica of the Immortal Heavenly Divine Bell? Who is your Young Mistress to Wu Ming? "
Xiao Chen's interest was piqued.
"My Young Mistress is the niece of the Heavenly King of Plentiful Treasures. Why are you still here?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman shouted coldly.
"Wu Ming's name is not useful to me. What Heavenly King of Plentiful Treasures? Today, I came for his treasure bell and hammer."
Hearing this, everyone sucked in a cold breath. Who was Wu Ming? The Heavenly King of Plentiful Treasures was invincible, but the person in front of them did not put him in his eyes at all. It was really shocking.
Everyone from the Xiao Yao Marquis's residence turned pale. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Who are you? What a big tone! If Heavenly King Wu Ming comes personally, I'm afraid you will run away immediately! "
The beautiful middle-aged woman sneered.
"Wu Ming … … Haha … …"
Xiao Chen laughed heartily and said, "I'm just afraid that he will immediately run away after discovering me."
