I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood
Chapter 389 Hunting
From afar, Xie Yuan could feel the powerful aura coming from all directions.
He quickly flew up into the sky and took a closer look. He found that the visitors from all directions were all aggressive and he couldn’t help but frown.
“There are so many people here, and it’s such a coincidence.”
There were even some enemies he had never expected.
Xie Yuan glanced in the north and south directions with a cold look in his eyes.
He had followed the Black Book to this place and felt that it was nearby, but he could not find it no matter how many times he went around in circles.
It’s like there’s a layer of hazy gauze between us. Although we can see it vaguely, we are still missing it by a hair’s breadth and cannot see its true appearance.
Xie Yuan had expected that it would not be so easy. Even if he could sense these three pages, the other party might also be able to sense him. Would someone with such means set an ambush?
Now it seems that this is indeed the case, and it is a significant amount.
The five people coming from the east had already approached, standing in the air, facing Xie Yuan from a distance.
These five people had a noble and powerful aura, their robes were gorgeous and their spirits were shining, and it was obvious that they had many treasures on them.
Even if you don’t know them, just by looking at their naturally arrogant demeanor and attire, you can tell they are royal family members;
Looking at the young man in the front with black hair, black eyes and a weathered look, Xie Yuan took a look at him and recognized who he was.
Xue Zongtao, the King of Chu, is a top master and the strongest person in the royal family.
Although the four people behind him were weaker than him in momentum, they were all powerful, and all of them were top masters who were only one step away from reaching the peak.
Considering that there are powerful people stationed in the palace and various places of the royal family, Xie Yuan couldn’t help but look a little serious. He had an intuitive understanding of the huge power of the royal family hidden under the surface.
The royal family is low-key and not on the Flying Dragon Ranking. It is rare for strong people to stand out. The three families have always been unable to figure out their details and are secretly wary of them. Now it seems that there are indeed many strong people.
No wonder the emperor wanted to take advantage of the grand master’s absence to deal with the aristocratic families and achieve the dynasty’s thousand-year vision. There is indeed an opportunity.
Xie Yuan glanced over and took a quick look. The five members of the royal family suddenly stopped in their tracks. Xue Zongtao looked even more solemn, his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
But Xie Yuan just took a glance and turned his head to look towards the west.
There are more people coming from the west.
A solemn middle-aged man with a majestic demeanor, followed by two equally serious men and women;
Next to him was a pure and charming girl with a hot body and a charming look. Her peach blossom eyes stared straight at Xie Yuan.
Behind her were five stunning women with different temperaments, talking and laughing, looking charming and seductive.
They were the two giants of the Zao Cult, Elder Chuanwu and Elder Hehuan.
These two people did not surprise Xie Yuan too much, but what he did not expect was that there was a familiar face on this side.
A fat lama with a kind smile on his face but a hawk-like gaze followed him. Behind him were three monks and three laymen, making him the most numerous and powerful.
“Thank you, benefactor. I have heard of you for a long time. We passed each other several times in the past, but we never had a face-to-face conversation. I regret this. Now that we meet again, I must not miss it again.”
The tall lama’s voice was like a huge bell, resounding through the air.
Xie Yuan looked at him and said calmly:
“Ming Wang, Zhongyuan is not the place for you to come.”
The King of Ming laughed and said in a slightly strange official language:
“The world is constantly changing, and we are all one family. How can we say who should come and who shouldn’t come? Now that the Central Plains is in trouble, the men of our Western Regions are ready to fight at any time. We are already waiting at the edge of the Western Desert, and are willing to enter the pass at any time to help our brothers in the Central Plains survive the disaster.”
After these words were spoken, the five members of the royal family all looked unhappy. Xue Zongtao stared at King Ming and said calmly:
“Ming Wang, you dare to go deep into the Central Plains. I think highly of you. Since you are here this time, don’t leave.”
“Haha, Your Highness, Prince Chu, don’t forget our main topic this time. If you challenge me now, not only the person in front of you, but also your Xue family’s ambition to eradicate the aristocratic family will be shattered.”
Ming Wang smiled peacefully, his tone was soothing, but the content was extremely overbearing:
“You don’t want to miss this golden opportunity, do you? Yun and Yan states are open to trade, and Westerners are stationed here. We can stop the war here and help you deal with it…”
“dream!”
The King of Chu had a stern expression on his face and directly interrupted the King of Ming.
Ming Wang narrowed his eyes:
“Then if my million-strong army from the Western Region were to attack the gate at this time, what would you do?”
“Of course, just like countless times before, I will chop off all of you barbarians and keep you from entering the Central Plains.”
The King of Chu said coldly.
The King looked at him and suddenly laughed:
“Then forget about dealing with those great families! I know you want to take advantage of this opportunity to build an eternal dynasty, but… hehe, once you capture Benefactor Xie, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to talk slowly.”
Xie Yuan looked at the two elders of the Kitchen Sect and said slowly:
“You guys actually came out.”
Elder He Huan’s eyebrows trembled, and I felt pity for her:
“You are so cruel! You hurt me so badly. If it weren’t for my top-notch healing technique of “Xuan Nu He He Dao”, I would probably never see you again. You also ruined dozens of my fine furnaces and cauldrons. Alas, I am really crazy about you. Others want your things, but I am different. I only want you. This time, I will make sure you will never be separated from me again…”
Elder Chuanwu said without looking away:
“The Fire Envoy has made a breakthrough and has been in seclusion for a few days. I thought about it and realized that I have a mission for the Holy Church and I cannot just sit there in seclusion. You insisted on stopping me and repeatedly ruined the Holy Church’s great cause. You are the most suitable person to sacrifice. I expect that when the Fire Envoy accepts the Saint’s inheritance, he will change his mind.”
“Amitabha! Thank you, benefactor. You have really angered everyone. Perhaps it is not me who should have come here. But it is too late to say anything now…”
Ming Wang laughed loudly, his eyes rolling slightly:
“Besides, I am still a member of the human race, so why can’t I rule the Central Plains? The world is changing drastically, and demons are emerging. If I let them run rampant on the surface of the earth, would that satisfy you, Mr. Xie?”
Xie Yuan looked at the man in white robe who was slowly walking out of the clouds in the north.
His hair was disheveled, and he exuded a wild aura. He looked at Xie Yuan with deep eyes.
Although he looked like a person from all angles, the shadow he cast in the mist behind him was a giant, twisted snake-like creature. In the mist, there were two black shadows as big as hills, tumbling and jumping.
“Some people say that if I swallow you or something on you, I can make the demon race return to the earth and continue the bloodline of my dragon race.”
the man said.
Xie Yuan looked at him with cold eyes.
This evil fog is filled with blood and energy, and there are countless wronged souls. I wonder how much killing they have caused since they came into the world!
“Some people say… Heh, a Jiao monster dares to pretend to be a descendant of the divine dragon.”
Xie Yuan took down the dragon soul and pointed directly at the dragon monster:
“I’ll kill you first!”
The man stared at the dragon soul in his hand, his expression turned cold:
“I hate your gun. It just so happens that I need a handy weapon, so I will extract your spine and use it to make a bone sword.”
Xie Yuan glanced at him coldly, then shifted his gaze to the south.
The sky is dark here. It is clearly noon, but the south is so dark and shadowy that it is difficult to see clearly.
There were several pale, cold, and somewhat unreal figures on one side, but the leader was solid, wearing full body armor and holding a Guandao, looking extremely powerful. Even his face was hidden in the full face armor, and only his scarlet eyes were projected out.
“Ghost clan?”
Xie Yuan recognized the origins of these “people”. They clearly looked like ghosts.
However, these ghosts are completely different from ordinary ghosts and demons. When they travel during the day, they can cause the sky light to change, and each of them has an oppressive power comparable to that of a top master.
Xie Yuan couldn’t help but think of a place, Fengdu Ghost City. It was a legendary secret place, one of the sources of the three realms legends in this world. However, with the great changes in the world, the netherworld became a secret place, and it rarely appeared in the past ten thousand years.
Just like the Nine Netherworld…
Xie Yuan looked at another force coming from the south that was clearly distinct from the ghost clan. The strong men leading them looked very familiar to him.
It looks like a human, but its internal structure and some characteristics are completely different from those of humans. It is none other than the Nine Nether Demon.
Seeing Xie Yuan looking over, the dark-skinned woman standing in the front laughed and said:
“The Lord of the Realm asked me to say hello to you.” “It was also released?”
Xie Yuan looked solemn.
The demon girl smiled and said:
“I don’t know where the Realm Master is.”
Xie Yuan looked around and his heart sank.
He knew that this might be a trap set for him, but he did not expect the scene to be so grand.
But no matter how cruel the trap was, it would be fine; the key was that these ambushers were released from their hiding places one by one. Then, did the forces they represented and the disciples behind them also come to the world together?
Xie Yuan worked so hard to stop the Kitchen God Cult from causing chaos, but he never expected that these things that were even more terrifying than the Kitchen God Cult would all show up.
Compared to being ambushed, this made him clench his fist even more.
The catastrophe was inevitable and he could no longer stop it.
Xie Yuan’s eyes were like those of a hawk, sweeping around and immediately locking onto a pale-faced scholar among the ghosts. Although this ghost was also slightly illusory, with a pale face and no life at all, Xie Yuan could sense a familiar aura from it.
“Wu Daoji… good tricks. But you are unworthy of being a human being by doing this.”
Xie Yuan said coldly.
The pale-faced scholar’s expression changed, and he immediately regained his lifelike appearance, revealing a vicissitudes smile that did not match his appearance:
“Xie Yuan, you still don’t understand. In this world, there are no human races or other races. They are all just people who are trying to cross the sea. You are strong and powerful, so I will admit defeat and become a ghost cultivator. I will have nothing to do with you anymore. What’s wrong with that?”
“Mr. Wu, if we swallow him, can the glory of the demon race return to the earth?”
The demon dragon shouted.
Wu Daoji looked around and smiled:
“Everyone, Xie Yuan has divine weapons, black heavenly books, peerless skills, and even his own luck… everything. He has treasures on himself and on his body. At today’s hunting meeting, everyone should use their abilities and enjoy it to their heart’s content!”
The Ming King opened his mouth wide and said in a voice as loud as a bell:
“Amitabha! So many fellow Taoists have gathered here. Thank you for your kindness! I have heard that the East China Sea Sword Contest in the Central Plains is a top-notch gathering for masters. I am afraid that today’s hunting and thanking meeting will be better than the East China Sea Sword Contest!”
“Far better, far better!”
“I will only take one page of the Black Book from him, and the rest will be yours.”
“Humph, there are only a few pages in total, and you reserved one? No matter how you divide it, I heard he has a tripod, so I’ll reserve it!”
“Hand over the Ji family’s divine axe!”
“My enemy, my good man! You better obey me now, or I will be sad if you get beaten up later. Come with me now, and I will ensure that you are safe from these stinky people, stinky snakes, stinky ghosts and stinky monsters. They are all stinky, and only you make me love you…”
In an instant, ghosts and wolves howled in all directions, and the strong men teased each other wantonly. They had already trapped Xie Yuan in a jar, and were not afraid that he would escape. They were only thinking about how to divide the spoils.
But even if he was confident, the lowest among those present was a master at the level of the Twin Bridges of Heaven and Earth; even the one standing at the back was a great demon giant who could cause an earthquake in the cultivation world with a stomp of his foot, and his combat experience was impeccable, and he would never give Xie Yuan the slightest chance to escape in the chaos.
Standing among the shouting crowd of masters, Xie Yuan was like standing at the vegetable market, bearing the majestic momentum and roaring waves coming from all directions.
The looks these people give are like looking at meat on a chopping board.
Xie Yuan glanced at him, his eyes flickering slightly.
no……
I clearly felt that the three pages of the Black Book were nearby, and it was very likely that they were in the hands of one or more people.
But Xie Yuan felt otherwise.
He glanced at Wu Daoji and saw the ghost scholar in white clothes smiled slightly, stepped back a little, and shook his head.
not him.
The demons and monsters might have been released by him, but Xie Yuan was very clear about his abilities. It was impossible for him to seize the three pages of the Black Book, and he did not have the courage and ability to plan all of this.
Xie Yuan let out a long breath and slowly drew out the Black Sky Sword.
No matter what, this battle is inevitable. No matter what that person wants, Xie Yuan will not let him get what he wants easily.
If these people wanted to eat me, I would probably end up with broken teeth.
Watching Xie Yuan slowly draw his sword, the shouting in the field seemed to be strangled by someone, and it stopped in an instant, and then became quiet.
The atmosphere became a little depressing.
There was no one present who didn’t know the value of something. They looked at Xie Yuan’s sword with a serious gaze; and as they looked at Xie Yuan holding the sword, their expressions became even more solemn.
“hehe.”
Prince Ming was the first to break the silence, not wanting Xie Yuan to accumulate too much momentum:
“Thank you, benefactor. Everyone here wants to favor you. Who would you like to discuss martial arts with first?”
“I just said that.”
Xie Yuan slowly stroked the black divine sword with his fingers. The sword was emitting an overwhelming chill, and the sword intent almost condensed into substance, forming a whirlwind around the sword.
“We have to kill this big snake first.”
He tilted his head slightly and looked at the dragon monster.
It was just a glance, but the masters all felt a chill and their minds seemed a little dazed.
In the trance of that moment, only the dragon monster’s face changed drastically. He first wanted to stretch out his dark gold palms to resist, and then his palms directly turned into golden giant claws as tall as a person. Finally, his body shook, twisted and expanded, and his original form was revealed, turning into a giant dragon that was a hundred feet long!
However, as soon as he transformed into his original form, his whole body became stiff, as if he was fixed in the sky.
A shocking dragon roar sounded, accompanied by black and red blood that spilled all over the sky!
Xie Yuan’s figure had just turned his head and had not yet disappeared when it appeared out of thin air in front of the dragon.
His body was very small compared to the giant dragon, but he held the sword in both hands, starting from the scales under the dragon’s jaw, and in a flash he crossed a hundred feet and cut the dragon monster in half vertically!
Dragon blood, scales, and internal organs emitting a strong bloody aura were scattered all over the sky, covering Xie Yuan’s figure.
The huge shadow that was tumbling and roaring in the evil fog stopped moving.
Everyone came to their senses at this moment, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Xie Yuan actually killed the leader of the demon clan, a giant dragon with the blood of a divine dragon, with just one sword!
They didn’t even react!
If it were me…
Everyone stared at Xie Yuan, who was covered in the rain of blood and flesh, but suddenly they heard his voice coming from above:
“Do you want to die one by one, or…to die together?” (End of this chapter)
