Chapter 426 The Ambush at the Mine
He paused, a flash of understanding crossing his face. "I knew it. He wouldn't just go out to explore for us. He must be going for the spiritual stone mine!"Ximen Changqing's excitement grew. When Chu Xuan first volunteered to go out and scout, Ximen Changqing had thought he was either being reckless or had lost his mind. But upon reflection, with Chu Xuan's enigmatic nature, he was sure the man wouldn't be so foolish as to walk into danger willingly. That was why he had pushed him to go. Now, with Chu Xuan's cryptic parting words, he was beginning to understand the plan."Thanks… but the outside is perilous. How will you survive, I wonder? Or do you have another way out? The demonic cultivators are always willing to risk their lives like this..."Ximen Changqing sighed softly. Reason told him that Chu Xuan was likely walking into danger. He himself was always cautious and, if in Chu Xuan's shoes, would never have dared to take such a risk."What is your real name, He Liang…?"
Chapter 425 Isolation and Opportunism
Chu Xuan's expression remained calm. During the second battle with the ancient beasts just now, the connection through the transmission jade had already weakened significantly. After the battle ended, the connection was completely cut off. This meant that every city and outpost had turned into isolated islands amidst the stormy sea. To gather intelligence about the current situation in the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, they would have to risk their lives and travel to other cities or outposts.Xiao Xian spoke in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Bai, didn't your Fiery Sky Cloud Pavilion send someone to Heaven-Nine City? Has there been any news?"Bai Cangsong fell silent for a moment and took out a shattered jade token. "I had a deep bond with my junior brother. We both had life tokens with drops of our blood in them. This is the life token of my junior brother. If he dies, the token will shatter."Upon seeing the shattered life token, Ximen Changqing, Xiao Xian, and the others fell silent
Chapter 424 The Great Silence
The battle lasted for five days and four nights. Many Nascent Soul cultivators had completely drained their Spiritual Qi and had to stop to recover. It wasn't until noon on the fifth day that the ancient beasts, after leaving behind massive amounts of carcasses, retreated like a tidal wave.Chu Xuan gazed out at the battlefield. Everywhere his eyes could see, there were bodies scattered across the ground. A rough estimate showed that there were at least seven million ancient beasts that had died here. And this was only counting those whose bodies remained mostly intact. As for the countless Nether Crocodiles and Dark Nether Hawks that had been reduced to ash, their number was far higher."At least ten million... What scale of beast tide is this?""These ancient beasts were practically berserk!""Quick, report this to the sect!"The cultivators felt a deep unease in their hearts. After this battle, Heaven-Six City had used up a tremendous amount of spiritual stones. They would ne
Chapter 423 The Siege of Heaven-Six City
The cultivators were stunned, unable to believe their eyes. Such a dense swarm of ancient beasts clearly indicated that the number of creatures was at least over a million. But, they had been clearing out the Nether Crocodiles around this area every month. How could such a massive horde of ancient beasts suddenly appear, with no warning, and be on the verge of attacking Heaven-Six City?A Nascent Soul cultivator from Feiry Sky Cloud Pavilion took out a transmission jade slip, listened for a moment, and then shouted, "Heaven-Seven City is also under attack by the beast horde!"A cultivator from Red Flame Temple quickly added, "Heaven-Eight City is facing the same situation!"Everyone's faces turned grim. It was clear now: this was no ordinary beast horde. It was a massive-scale attack. Hoping for reinforcements from other cities was futile.Ximen Changqing shouted, "Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Xiao, I propose we activate the city's defensive formation immediately!"Bai Cangs
Chapter 422 Unexpected Allies and a Common Enemy
After a moment of careful observation, he realized the truth. It wasn't that his hand wasn't moving—it was simply moving too slowly. His brain had already issued the command, yet his hand remained still, as if someone else were controlling his body."You poisoned me?!" Ximen Changqing's face shifted through several emotions.Chu Xuan smiled. "We're even now, aren't we? You've set up your own puppets in the dark as well. The poison I used is called the Broken Mind Powder. After some modifications, it's far stronger now."Ximen Changqing took several deep breaths and slowly withdrew his hand. For a long while, he stared at Chu Xuan, before suddenly smiling. "Gao Xuan wouldn't have such a sophisticated poison technique. Who are you?"Chu Xuan smiled, "I once spent some time in Heavenly Sword City and made some progress in pill refining. I'm sure Fellow Daoist Ximen had your disciples investigate my background. You, Fellow Daoist Ximen, once sent me a few veiled words, advising me to
Chapter 421 Entrapping the Traitor
Although Feng Qian and he were from different sects—Feng Qian from the Crimson Flame Hall, and Chu Xuan from the Majestic Sword Sect—at this moment they were allies of the righteous path, united against the demonic cultivators of the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect.And yet, during this crucial battle between the righteous and the demonic, he had killed one of his own allies. If the Reincarnation Sect ever found out about this, they would no doubt impose severe punishment.An eerie silence filled the warehouse. The silence stretched on for what felt like an eternity.Finally, Ximen Changqing's voice broke the quiet."Gao Xuan, Gao Xuan! How could you do such a thing, after all the attention I've given you?! You, a cultivator of the righteous path, no matter the circumstances, should always strive to rise above, to be courageous, to make progress! How could you fall to such a low point?"Chu Xuan was taken aback, "Senior Brother..."Ximen Changqing's voice softened as he stepped clos
