Chapter 583: A Refinement God Falls! The Uncle's True Identity!
This was the terrifying divine power brought about by Chen Yuan breaking his limits and elevating his primordial spirit to ten inches.
He had experimented with it once before on the way to Tangshan, where he could solidify the ten-zhang radius around him about three times, but that was just an experiment.
He hadn't actually used it in battle.
This was the opportunity!
Even before the fight, Chen Yuan wanted to use Guan Hai to test just how this divine power worked. Guan Hai's cultivation and strength were considerable; even with all-out power, he wouldn't be easy to kill. He was the perfect test subject.
Therefore, from the start of the battle until now, Chen Yuan had been calm and unconcerned, completely disregarding everything else, because he had his reliance and confidence, forcing Guan Hai to use his ultimate trump card.
It was all within his expectations.
A distance of one chi, only three cun, Chen Yuan could even sense the sharpness about to pierce his brow, but he remained composed, slightly raising his finger.
The purple primordial spirit within his spirit platform shone brightly, and the ten-zhang radius instantly solidified.
Not a gradual, muddy solidification, but an immediate one.
The moment it solidified, Guan Hai knew something was wrong, but it was too late. At such close range, even if it only imprisoned him for an instant, it was enough for a swift counterattack.
He just couldn't understand why Chen Yuan had such means.
Solidifying the void, even a Yang Shen True Lord couldn't do that against a martial artist of the same realm, right?
Guan Hai was puzzled, but it was no use.
Chen Yuan's raised finger seemed slow, even allowing one to see its trajectory, but it was still instantaneous. He directly tapped it into his brow.
Then, a surge of violent power instantly rushed into his spirit platform.
The imprisonment released, that violent power fell upon his primordial spirit.
"Boom!"
Guan Hai clearly felt an explosion in his ears. Then, darkness fell, and he could see nothing else as that force of destruction shattered his primordial spirit.
One strike to decide the outcome!
Guan Hai's body fell from the void like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the ground and creating an enormous crater, never to rise again.
The primordial spirit was the most essential soul of a martial artist.
If the physical body falls, the primordial spirit can still survive.
If the primordial spirit is destroyed, all that remains is a corpse.
The surrounding void was silent. Chen Yuan lowered his raised hand, his expression unchanged, because he had already run through this scene countless times in his mind.
And he was very satisfied with this void imprisonment technique.
It was definitely a killer move.
After Chen Yuan finished looting Guan Hai's corpse, Mo Bai, who had gone to chase down the man accompanying Guan Hai, returned, and was immediately stunned by the sight of Guan Hai on the ground like a dead dog.
As one of the higher-ups of Liangshan, Guan Hai possessed considerable wealth, including a Sumeru mustard seed treasure. From him, Chen Yuan obtained a guandao of the first level of Divine Weapon.
He also got over a thousand yuan crystals, along with some other treasures.
The gains were substantial.
It was a shame that the Blood Sword Gate was destroyed a bit too early; their wealth had already been moved to Liangshan. Otherwise, it would all have become his spoils today.
Mo Bai stiffened, carefully examining the corpse before him, feeling like it wasn't real. ...The mighty Demon Blade Guan Hai, who had been shaking the Blood Province for years and was one of Liangshan's higher-ups, was just... dead?
He knew how terrifying Guan Hai was. He had been the main force in destroying the Blood Sword Gate, powerfully suppressing them. Now, he had been killed by Chen Yuan.
It seemed to have taken about the same amount of time as when he killed Zhao Rufeng.
It was truly... shocking!
He killed Zhao Rufeng because he knew Zhao's techniques and strength and his own cultivation was a level higher, allowing him to send Zhao on his way in a very short time.
But what about Chen Yuan?
As far as he knew, Chen Yuan was strong, but his cultivation was only at the primordial spirit stage, while Guan Hai was a genuine, veteran Refinement Spirit cultivator. The difference was the same as between him and Zhao Rufeng.
When he reported the yuan crystal mine to Chen Yuan, he wanted Chen Yuan to mobilize the imperial court's experts to besiege Guan Hai, but Chen Yuan hastily came alone, not listening to any of his advice.
Now it seemed he was like a worrywart clown.
Chen Yuan dared to come because he was strong!
The strong strength brought a strong confidence!
These thoughts flashed by.
Mo Bai let out a long breath.
Guan Hai had done many evil deeds, with rumors of eating people alive. Now, his primordial spirit had been extinguished, which could be considered karmic retribution. It was not that he wasn't being punished, but that the time hadn't come yet.
"I, this Marquis, have avenged you!"
Chen Yuan, with his hands behind his back, glanced at Mo Bai.
The implication was that the matter was done, and the reward should be given.
If he didn't give it, he and his wife would have to be buried alive!
Mo Bai knew the logic, and he was very grateful to Chen Yuan. He knelt on one knee on the spot and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, Marquis, for avenging my family's destruction. I can't repay you in this lifetime, so I will devote this remnant body to you. From now on, I will follow you through fire and water."
"Heh..."
Chen Yuan nodded.
Fortunately, Mo Bai knew Chen Yuan's purpose and dared not delay, lest Chen Yuan get angry. He continued:
"I dare not deceive you, Marquis. Now I will take you to see the location of the yuan crystal mine."
"Yes, lead the way!"
......
......
Liangshan's location was very good, surrounded by a lake on all sides, stretching for about eight hundred li. Even the shortest diameter distance to the land was about a hundred li, surrounding Liangshan Mountain in the very center.
Relying on a strong navy and geographical advantage, it had stood for a hundred years, gradually developing to the point where it could barely compete with the Seven Kill Hall, which was not easy. Its reputation was also very great.
Even back in Ping An County, he had heard of Liangshan from a group of rebel soldiers.
Its power and reputation were very great, almost a benchmark for Jianghu forces. Although it was referred to as a demonic bandit, it had never called itself that.
Their slogan was to act on behalf of Heaven!
This place was thousands of li away from the Blood Sword Gate, which was quite far, but for martial arts experts, they could learn of some situations outside in a very short time.
Soul Lamp!
The main reliance was on soul lamps and sound transmission talismans.
After fighting with Chen Yuan, realizing that he couldn't deal with the guy, he immediately secretly activated the sound transmission talisman, hoping to delay for some time until reinforcements arrived.
Unfortunately, he had just sent the message, and just as Liangshan was preparing to mobilize experts to support him, his soul lamp went out. ...Eight hundred li Liangshan Marsh Fortress, Hall of Righteous Gathering.
The grand leader, Song Lun, had an extremely gloomy expression. The Liangshan higher-ups sitting below also had faces full of anger, brewing a strong killing intent.
Liangshan was strong, but the loss of a Refinement Spirit True Man was extremely heavy. Most of the forces they had gathered were martial artists of low realms, with very few fifth-realm True Men.
They had mostly grown up gradually.
They also had a deep brotherly bond with Guan Hai.
Now, upon hearing the news of his death, they were extremely saddened.
A black-bearded man with a rugged appearance remained silent for a long time before finally standing up and saying:
"Grand leader, this Chen Yuan is bullying our Liangshan too much. I used to admire him for daring to resist foreign enemies, but now he is killing Liangshan experts for no reason. He deserves to die. Give the order, and I, your brother, will chop him into eighteen pieces!"
The black man was nearly a zhang tall, over two meters high, and practiced Body Refinement. His blood and qi were majestic. He had a great reputation in the Blood Province.
He was known as the Blood Axe Fan Ying, whose ferocity surpassed even Guan Hai.
But he was only famous; his strength was still far from Guan Hai's. He only had primordial spirit strength.
"Sit down."
Song Lun frowned, his authority stemming from his presence.
With his words, Fan Ying, who obeyed neither heaven nor earth, could only open his mouth, snort softly, and sit down.
Sitting in the top seat, he had single-handedly built the Eight Hundred Li Liangshan Marsh Fortress. He had a great reputation in Jianghu and was known as the White-Clothed Scholar, a True Lord approaching the top ten on the Supreme List.
"Why is this Chen Yuan declaring war on my Liangshan? His Tangshan Prefecture base has always had close ties with us." A man in blue robes, holding a feather fan, frowned slightly, unable to understand the mystery.
"This person must be coming for the death of Lu Renjia. I heard that he has a one-year agreement with the dog emperor, which includes recovering the territory of the Blood Province. Perhaps he sees my Liangshan as an easy target!"
"Humph, seeking death!"
"I only have one question. Chen Yuan seems to have just broken through to the primordial spirit realm not long ago. Where did he get the strength to kill Brother Guan? Could it be that the news Brother Guan sent was wrong, and Chen Yuan has other helpers?" A Transformation Yang expert couldn't help but say. Su Dan Novel Network
The seven or eight of them were all of Liangshan's top combat power, led by Song Lun. Their relationship was relatively harmonious, so they could speak freely and openly.
"What do you think, Brother Lu?" Song Lun turned his gaze to a middle-aged man on his left, and asked.
The middle-aged man in black, called Brother Lu, said in a deep voice:
"This Chen Yuan is not simple. He became famous at a young age, and has been able to shake Jianghu in just a few years. He definitely has some trump cards up his sleeve. It is not impossible for the Demon Blade to have died at the Blood Sword Gate.
However, the focus of the problem now is not how Guan Hai died, but that he is dead. As one of the top five leaders of my Liangshan, he is dead and we have no reaction. How can we gather heroes from Jianghu? How can we attract ten thousand people to join us?
Therefore, the most urgent task now is to avenge Guan Hai and hang the head of the murderer Chen Yuan in front of Liangshan Marsh, so that the heroes of the world can come and see!
This person is favored by the emperor and has a great reputation. Now he is the governor of the three southern states and holds a high position of power. If he does not attack us, given his reputation in the Cool Province, it will be difficult for us to attack him. Now that he is actively seeking death, let us fulfill his wish and let him know that Jianghu disputes and resentment with the imperial court are not a competition for the younger generation, but a matter of life and death!"
"What Second leader says is right!"
"That's right, that's how it should be!"
"The reason why our Liangshan has come to this point today is all because we put righteousness first. If we don't kill this person, we won't be able to convince the brothers below."
There was excitement in the Hall of Righteous Gathering. Song Lun frowned slightly, feeling that it was not that simple. However, as the second leader said, at this moment...
Killing Chen Yuan was the only way to calm the people's anger!
He had to be killed, and his head had to be hung on Liangshan for a hundred days to give the imperial court a show of force.
"Okay, since all the brothers think so, then this Chen Yuan really must be killed. Given Chen Yuan's strange methods, this time, I will personally come forward to suppress this person.
Fan Ying, you come with me. We must be as quick as possible, so that Chen Yuan doesn't kill Guan Hai and then leave the Blood Province."
Song Lun stood up and said in a deep voice.
"Why would he run? We will attack Tangshan and destroy his base. We don't believe he won't come out!" Fan Ying snorted coldly, his killing intent unabated.
"Good!"
Song Lun did not delay, ordering the second leader, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, to guard Liangshan, while he quickly went back and forth, heading straight for the Blood Sword Gate!
Seven Kill Hall Mountain Gate.
Council Hall.
The Seven Kill Hall was more busy today. The hall master had not appeared for many days, and the other five Yama Kings were also busy with their own affairs. Only a black-robed man wearing a mysterious mask sat in the seat to the left of the main seat.
The second Yama King of the Seven Kill Hall, King Chu Jiang!
Although he had only joined the Seven Kill Hall for less than a hundred years, he still managed to beat the others below into submission with his powerful strength.
He had become the number two figure in the Seven Kill Hall.
It was no exaggeration to say that he held a high position of power.
But today, as he was pondering something, he suddenly frowned. A light flashed between his sleeves, and a talisman appeared in his hand. Then, a low voice was transmitted.
After speaking, the talisman was automatically destroyed, and the sound transmission talisman was useless.
King Chu Jiang frowned after listening, and muttered to himself:
"This kid, he's only just arrived in the South and he's already causing so much trouble. It's really troublesome, but he's still a descendant of my Chen family. He can even kill Guan Hai, but... after killing Guan Hai, he has to find a way to resist Liangshan.
Or does this kid know something? Is he deliberately making enemies with Liangshan?"
That's right, the Chu Jiang King of the Seven Kill Hall was Chen Yuan's uncle, who Chen Yuan thought had already fallen. His whereabouts were leaked back then, and he was secretly revealed to the imperial court.
This led to the imperial court's experts setting up a net to besiege him.
However, he still had some foundation after all. He seemed to have fallen, but in fact, he still had a backup plan. He was actually just faking his death, but his injuries were real, and it would take at least decades to recover.
At that time, because he suspected it was the Xiang family's plot, he did not reappear, but instead found a way to hide in the Seven Kill Hall and gradually grew into the Yama King of the Seven Kill Hall.
But when he wanted to investigate the whereabouts of his sister, he only found out that she had fallen. At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to go to Xiang Qianqiu, but later he figured out some things.
Knowing that he was not Xiang Qianqiu's opponent, he would only be humiliating himself if he went. So he gradually went into hiding.
Later, when Chen Yuan's secrets were uncovered, he accidentally saw Chen Yuan's portrait while trying to track down Wu Daozi, and he was shocked.
Because this child looked very similar to Xiang Qianqiu and Xuan Ling, he was completely sure after confirming his identity.
At this time, he thought of where Wu Daozi would go, and also accidentally learned that the Eastern Japanese slaves wanted to use the hands of the Seven Kill Hall to kill Chen Yuan.
His identity was best not exposed for the time being, but he could not watch his nephew die.
So he revealed this news to Wu Daozi, and guided Chen Yuan to take the Chen family battle flag to the Sunken Blood Lake, which had been refined by him with an array. The Chen family blood had dyed it red, and there were more than 100,000 heroic spirits sleeping there.
First let him know his identity, get favors, and then help him grow step by step.
However, this nephew of his was a bit of a pervert. He grew too fast, and he scared his uncle, who used to think so highly of himself.
Just thinking that Chen Yuan was sealed to the South, and that the time was almost right, he thought about helping him, but... this kid got into a fight with the people from Liangshan again.
If these bandits were so easy to deal with, the Seven Kill Hall would not have been so troubled.
Immortals do not appear, and it is very difficult to deal with Liangshan.
Even the hall master, who is ninth on the Supreme List, is not very confident, and is currently in a stalemate.
"Phew..." King Chu Jiang let out a long breath.
He had to take action.
Chen Yuan was the hope of their Chen family, and also the hope of him and Xuan Ling. With just him, he would not be able to break through to the sixth realm in this lifetime, and without the strength of the sixth realm, he could not think of destroying the Xiang family.
So, he had to help Chen Yuan get through this.
Who told him to be his blood-related uncle?
After being silent in the hall for a while, he took out something and transmitted his voice:
"Hall master, I just took a mission. It's very interesting."
"What mission?"
The cold voice of the Hall Master of the Seven Kill Hall came from the sound transmission device.
"Chen Yuan killed Liangshan's Demon Blade Guan Hai. Someone is worried about his safety and hopes that the Seven Kill Hall will stand up for him and block Song Lun and others."
"Guan Hai is dead?"
"Dead."
"Are you sure?"
The Hall Master of the Seven Kill Hall asked very solemnly.
Liangshan Marsh and the Seven Kill Hall were at odds, fighting for various resources. They were very clear about the top experts. It was not easy for Chen Yuan to kill him.
However, it was not impossible.
Chen Yuan could even kill the Wheel Turning King at the peak of Refinement Spirit, so it was reasonable for him to kill Guan Hai.
"Sure."
"You want to take this mission?"
"I've already taken it."
King Chu Jiang replied.
"Is the reward high?"
"Not high, but our Seven Kill Hall is already in conflict with Liangshan, so it doesn't matter if we do it this time. Besides, I also want to meet Chen Yuan, who can kill the Wheel Turning King in the Golden Core realm, and see what he is capable of.
If possible, it would be good to cooperate with him to deal with Liangshan."
"Guan Hai is dead, Liangshan will definitely send out a True Lord. The second leader, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, rarely takes action, and his strength is unknown. It should be Song Lun who takes action. Are you confident?"
The Hall Master of the Seven Kill Hall asked.
He did not simply think that King Chu Jiang was not an opponent. In fact, even he would be cautious about this person. His strength was more than enough to enter the top of the Supreme List, but it was not certain whether he could deal with Song Lun.
"How would I know if I don't try?"
King Chu Jiang smiled faintly.
"Since you are so confident, then go ahead."
The Hall Master of the Seven Kill Hall did not say much.
Their style of doing things was like this. They had no grudges with the martial artists in Jianghu. Today they sent someone to kill a target, but the target failed and was killed. Tomorrow they could be hired by the target.
They cared about interests, about cultivation, not simply about grudges.
The death of the Wheel Turning King was just that, and there was no revenge to be had. Otherwise, even if the Seven Kill Hall could be compared to Mount Ling, it would not be able to survive at all. There was no other reason, it was just that they had too many enemies.
"Okay, the hall master can continue to retreat."
King Chu Jiang said lightly.
"Yes, be careful. If things cannot be done, withdraw immediately."
King Chu Jiang was different from the Wheel Turning King. He was a Yang God True Lord, and his status was very high, second only to him. If he died, the Seven Kill Hall would be greatly injured.
"Yes."
