"Weren't you curious before about why the Sacred Blood Pool within the illusion was damaged? Now, I'll tell you, it's because this person absorbed the Xiang family's bloodline within the pool!

It's also because of this that he broke through to the Heavenly Dan cultivation realm."

Xiang Qianqiu stated calmly.

Hearing this, Xiang Lingtian's confusion deepened, and he said:

"But Clan Leader, didn't you say before that only we, the Xiang family, can use the Sacred Blood Pool to refine our bloodline? Chen Yuan being able to absorb the power of the pool,

Could it be that... he is related to my Xiang family?"

He couldn't help but think this way because the Clan Leader had clearly told him this before, so he never considered that possibility.

He only thought that Liu Zhenzong and Chen Yuan had some other trump cards.

But Xiang Qianqiu's words made him suddenly realize and become aware of this.

"You're right in your guess. According to the information I've investigated, this Chen Yuan does indeed possess my Xiang family's bloodline."

"Could it be a collateral branch?"

Xiang Qianqiu sighed and said:

"Back when my Xiang imperial family still ruled the world, we had many marriage alliances with Chen, the great general of the court. Later, the dynasty collapsed, and the Chen family was also destroyed as a result.

This Chen Yuan is a surviving member of the Chen clan's collateral line. If he were still loyal to my Xiang family, it would be fine, but unfortunately, he abandoned the light and embraced the darkness, betraying the Chen family's former loyalty to my Xiang family, and now he has brazenly become a court official.

He must be eliminated in order to offer sacrifice to General Chen, who died in battle for the imperial dynasty, and allow his heroic spirit to rest in peace."

"I see."

Xiang Lingtian didn't expect Chen Yuan to have such a background. In that case, there seemed to be some distant kinship between them, but unfortunately,

this son cannot be used by their Xiang family and must die!

"Chen Yuan has absorbed the power of the Sacred Blood Pool, and the purity of the bloodline throughout his body has been elevated to a terrifying degree. It is also by relying on my Xiang family's bloodline power that he has made such a great name for himself in the martial world.

It's a pity that he possesses a treasure mountain but doesn't know how to use it, and cannot fully unleash the hidden power of the Xiang family's bloodline. However, it is a huge opportunity for you.

As long as you kill him and condense the blood throughout his body into this divine pearl, I can help you reach the next level and elevate the power of your physical body to the peak of indestructible Vajra."

"As long as you kill him, you can prove your strength and talent. I will gather all of the Xiang family's resources on you in the future,

allowing your cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. At the same time, it can also declare to the world that my Xiang imperial family has returned, stepping on the head of the number one genius in the Central Plains to make a comeback."

Xiang Qianqiu's voice was full of extreme enticement, as if he was really thinking about Xiang Lingtian.

"Disciple understands."

Xiang Lingtian solemnly stated.

By killing Chen Yuan, he could obtain what the Clan Leader promised, not only becoming the sole heir of the Xiang family and famous throughout the world, but also using Chen Yuan's bloodline to completely elevate his physical body to the peak it could currently reach.

This son must be killed!

Moreover, they still had old grievances.

When he was in Jiangdu Prefecture in Shu Province, he could only sit back and watch Chen Yuan and Liu Zhenzong slaughter everyone in order to consider some influences, but he had already harbored a lot of killing intent in his heart.

Now he finally had a chance to take revenge!

He would tell Chen Yuan that relying on the Xiang family's bloodline to act fierce was nothing. He was the real master, and Chen Yuan was just a bastard who wasn't even considered a collateral line.

It was only by chance that he had unlocked the bloodline talent belonging to the Xiang family!

"A martial artist should have the confidence to sweep away all enemies under heaven. You have been hiding for too long, and your ambition will be worn away, and your heart will gradually become gloomy.

You must step onto the stage, and you must step onto the stage.

Chen Yuan is known as the number one genius in the Central Plains in a hundred years, defeating all geniuses and suppressing an era, and what you have to do is to defeat him in the same realm,

and tell the world that my Xiang family is the number one in the world!"

Xiang Qianqiu turned around and looked at Xiang Lingtian in front of him with great earnestness.

"Clan Leader, rest assured, this disciple will definitely protect the bloodline of my Xiang imperial family, and will never allow outsiders to act fierce. I will definitely bring Chen Yuan's head to see you."

Xiang Lingtian said with utmost seriousness.

In his opinion, this might be the last test that Xiang Qianqiu gave him, and it could also be regarded as punishment for his previous failure in Shu Province. If he failed, he would probably die in Chen Yuan's hands.

But how was that possible?

How could he possibly lose to Chen Yuan?

He possessed the same double pupils as the Great Ancestor, and his own cultivation had already reached the peak, only his physical body had not yet reached perfection. It might be a bit difficult to kill a Chen Yuan who had just entered the Heavenly Dan realm.

But he was absolutely sure to win!

"Very good, only this invincible heart is worthy of being the heir of my Xiang family. After the Great Chu is restored in the future, I will be the emperor, and you will be the crown prince!"

Xiang Qianqiu looked at him with great appreciation.

"Yes!"

"Drip a drop of essence blood onto the divine pearl and refine this treasure, and you will be able to obtain Chen Yuan's whereabouts. No matter where he runs, he will not escape your pursuit.

After killing him, this divine pearl will automatically devour the Xiang family's divine blood on his body."

Xiang Qianqiu explained to him.

Solemnly taking the divine pearl from Xiang Qianqiu's hand, Xiang Lingtian did not hesitate, and immediately forced out a drop of essence blood to fall on this pearl. He immediately felt a strange force of traction.

Suddenly opening his eyes, his gaze suddenly looked towards the north of the prairie.

So... Chen Yuan was not in the Xun Tiansi (Celestial Inspectorate) of Liang Province at this moment, but on the prairie.

It was really a godsend opportunity!!!

"Go, child, kill Chen Yuan, and you will be the only one!" Xiang Qianqiu had a faint smile on his face.

Xiang Lingtian nodded solemnly, bowed to Xiang Qianqiu, and said:

"Clan Leader, rest assured, this disciple will go immediately!"

After saying that, according to the strange traction force on the divine pearl, he immediately found the direction and turned into a stream of light and rushed into the sky.

Looking at Xiang Lingtian's departing figure, the corner of Xiang Qianqiu's mouth raised a strange smile, and he didn't know what he was expecting.

......

......

On the prairie.

Chen Yuan, who was flying in the air, suddenly stopped, feeling a strange sense of danger, and this feeling was not fleeting, but always existed.

It was like being stared at.

"Senior, what's going on? Could it be that someone has locked onto me through some evil technique?" Upon realizing this, Chen Yuan immediately told Mo Luo about that feeling.

Wanting to ask clearly.

Compared to him, Mo Luo was naturally more knowledgeable.

As for him, he had only heard in the martial world that some people could use unorthodox methods to lock onto a person's movements from thousands of miles away, but most of the people who could do this required essence blood to cast the spell.

And he, who had always been vigilant, seemed to have never allowed his essence blood to fall into the hands of the enemy.

What was going on?

Chen Yuan was a little puzzled.

He even thought of Yang Guifei, but at that time, she only swallowed * and not blood, and what's more, she spat it out directly, and later, he completely obliterated her.

Mo Luo pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said:

"Your own heavenly secrets have not been spied on by others, otherwise, this monk would definitely be able to detect it. Perhaps some people who harbor murderous intentions towards you have used some mysterious evil methods."

"Then now... should we continue on our way?"

Chen Yuan asked with a frown.

"For now, don't rush on the road. Find a barbarian tribe nearby to rest for a day or two. Before the Gujin royal court's sacrifice, all dangers must be extinguished.

Otherwise, once alarmed, it will not be so easy to seize the treasure."

"Okay, this junior understands."

Chen Yuan nodded with a flickering gaze.

Chen Yuan didn't have to worry about the enemies coming. Apart from his own strength and the Chen Family War Banner, with Mo Luo, he could transform into the Asura Demon Lord at any time.

As long as the Asura Demon Lord was online, he didn't need to fear anyone below the Sixth Realm.

Even existences like Wei Jinfeng, the King of Beiliang, could safely retreat with Mo Luo's power.

Being suddenly stared at, Chen Yuan's heart was full of gloom. He wasn't afraid of enemies face to face, but he hated this state of 'I'm in the open, and the enemy is in the dark'.

He hated it very much!

Coupled with the recent various situations, he felt an even more strange situation. As his status increased, he saw too many strong people!

If he didn't have Mo Luo by his side, Chen Yuan would really have no sense of security in this situation.

Listening to Mo Luo's advice, Chen Yuan decided to stay and rest for a day or two, solve the enemies coming, and then talk about the treasure hunt. According to the map, his current location was within the range of one of the Thirty-Six Royal Clans.

It was at least a thousand miles away from the Gujin Royal Court, and the vast prairie was sparsely populated, so even if some commotion was created, it was estimated that it would not alarm too many people.

After searching for half an hour, Chen Yuan finally found some small tribes.

Interestingly, these few days happened to be the days when several tribes held gatherings, and it wasn't just the barbarian herdsmen who were purchasing at the market.

One-fifth of them were merchants from the Central Plains.

This place was not too far from Liang Province. In order to obtain resources from the prairie, some merchants would take the risk of entering the prairie to buy things.

Then resell it to the Central Plains.

This... was normal.

For merchants, as long as the profit was big enough, anything could be sold. The Central Plains did lack some things from the prairie, and the same was true for the prairie.

The Beiman's alien warhorses and rare spiritual herbs were very precious in Liang Province, and the Central Plains' spiritual tea, elixirs, and spiritual medicines were also of great use to the prairie.

It could be considered mutually beneficial.

Of course, it was also very difficult for this kind of merchant team to have a fixed source of goods. I don't know how much effort it would take to gradually form a merchant team.

Chen Yuan, a stranger, entering the market, did not attract the attention of the prairie tribes, but attracted the attention of the Central Plains merchant teams.

Looking at him very vigilantly, but due to the trace of Chen Yuan's leaked aura, they temporarily did not dare to take any action, forming a strange calm.

In the market, Chen Yuan took a stroll and did not find anything of interest. Some merchants came forward to talk to him, and he only pretended to be a master of a force.

Anyway, he was wearing a human skin mask on his face, and people with these strengths could not see through it at all.

Chen Yuan spent a night in the tent very calmly, and did not wait for the enemies to come, but the feeling of unease in his heart became more and more intense.

He felt that the people who came should be powerful enemies.

It was very likely that it was a Huayang True Person.

And with his current strength, it was somewhat dangerous. However, if it was not particularly strong, he could also try the other party's methods and verify his own strength, and increase some actual combat experience.

If he was really not an opponent, then he could show the war flag, and let the spirits of the 100,000 Chen family army walk during the day!

Chen Yuan knew very well that these were all external forces, including Senior Mo Luo. He could not rely on their strength for a lifetime, and one day he would leave.

They were just his trump cards in the face of a dead end.

Relying on them to kill the invading strong enemies would not help him in any way.

Therefore, as long as the people who came were not too outrageous, and his own strength could cope with the situation, he would still fight a battle. Only in this way could he improve his strength in the battle of life and death.

Of course, if the enemies that came were too outrageous, and were True Persons at the Refinement Spirit level, or True Monarchs at the Yang Spirit level, then he would not be stubborn and desperately fight.

He would directly summon the Asura Demon Lord to end everything!

The second day of the market was even more lively, as if new tribes and merchant teams had joined in. Some tribes even set up stalls to sell things.

On the other side, Xiang Lingtian, who was ordered to take charge in a critical situation, perceived that Chen Yuan's whereabouts were getting closer and closer, and the corner of his mouth raised a cruel smile.

He was really courting death!

In his perception, the other party actually stopped in one place and did not move, as if he was waiting for him, which was completely courting death.

Chen Yuan's strength was very good, the number one genius in the Central Plains, the youngest Fourth Grade official of the imperial court, and a peerless genius who suppressed an era.

These were all the titles on his body.

But so what?

Xiang Lingtian was confident that he would not lose to him.

He was poured with a lot of resources from the Xiang family since he was a child, and he also had Xiang family experts with high realms to lead the way for him. He would not lose to the core disciples of the Immortal Sect, and might even be better than them.

And Chen Yuan was just a commoner!

He still relied on their Xiang family's bloodline to get to this step. When they really fought, he would let Chen Yuan feel the real pressure in the same realm.

Double pupils are invincible!

Suppressing everything!

The titles on Chen Yuan's body should all be his!

Xiang Lingtian was not arrogant, he was confident, and had an invincible heart.

The elders in the clan had once praised him, saying that he had the posture of a True Monarch.

But what he wanted to prove was that True Monarch was just his starting point. He wanted to become an immortal, and he wanted to become an emperor!

Soon, soon, in half a day, he would be able to see Chen Yuan, extract the Xiang family's divine blood from his body, and pour it all into his own body.

At that time, he would be able to elevate his physical body to the point of perfection without leakage.

Above that, he could gradually peep into the realm of 'Supernatural Powers Self-Evolving'!

Also, according to the news he had accidentally obtained before, there might be an opportunity for him in the depths of this prairie, which might be able to take him one step further!

After killing Chen Yuan, he would go to find this opportunity.

Xiang Lingtian had already begun to calculate the situation after killing Chen Yuan.

......

......

After exhaling a long breath of turbid air, Chen Yuan's face gradually showed a dignified look, feeling the increasingly dangerous feeling in the dark.

And quickly adjusted his mentality.

Come on, let's see who comes to die!

Dongying Wokou (Japanese pirates)?

Gujia (Gu Family) experts?

Qisha Dian (Seven Kill Hall) Yama?

Or... the remnants of the previous dynasty that he had been suppressing in his heart?

He had many enemies, and even further away was Lingshan, the most terrifying of the Ten Great Immortal Sects. Therefore, before the true identity was revealed, Chen Yuan could not deduce who the enemy was.

Mo Luo in the Imperial Slaughter Saber continued to be silent, waiting for Chen Yuan's awakening. The Chen family's blood-stained war banner in the Heavenly Book space was also in silence, waiting for the Chen family's bloodline's command.

Harboring extremely dignified thoughts, Chen Yuan pretended to be indifferent and re-entered the market.

Compared to yesterday, more people from those merchant teams came to talk to him today, as if they wanted to find out his true background, but Chen Yuan always prevaricated.

Making the leaders of several merchant teams who were paying attention to Chen Yuan's face a little gloomy, they looked at each other, wanting to get rid of this strange face.

Lest their trade route be cut off.

They knew that the Beiliang Army had been strictly prohibiting this kind of thing. Once discovered, the family would be seized and exterminated, in order to seize profits for the Beiliang Army's own merchant teams.

Therefore, no outsiders could break in.

Chen Yuan was not clear about the thoughts of those merchant teams, but he could guess one or two. He was indeed a bit conspicuous, but with his strength, what did he need to avoid?

His original intention of hiding in this market was to see if the enemies could lock on to him at a glance, and what method they used. As for these merchant teams and the Beiman tribes.

They were all people who could be sacrificed at any time.

Therefore, he would not bother with them now. Once the enemies arrived, under the aftermath of the battle, none of them could escape.

Ignoring the gaze following him from behind, Chen Yuan came to a place where a barbarian had set up a sheepskin stall, on which were various seemingly extraordinary things, such as some ancient tripods and small swords used by the Beiman, as well as bone stones and other things.

It's a pity, none of them were useful.

He was also a little curious, why couldn't he accidentally obtain some treasures?

"What's the price of this thing?"

Chen Yuan casually picked up a black iron piece, on which was engraved a human-shaped pattern, like the cultivation method on the barbarian side, which made him a little curious.

It seemed to be very different from the cultivation methods in the Central Plains?

Seeing Chen Yuan pick up something, the strong man spoke fluent Central Plains language, saying:

"This thing, three Yuan Crystals."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and said faintly:

"Three Yuan Crystals for scrap metal, you don't need to find an excuse if you want to rob."

"According to the customs of our Muhua tribe, you must buy this thing if you pick it up, otherwise... you will have to pay some price." The strong man stared at Chen Yuan and said.

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, understanding that this guy should have discussed it with the people from those merchant teams and wanted to attack him.

It was a pity, Chen Yuan originally didn't want to kill people so quickly, and was planning to wait until the enemies arrived before taking action.

But before he could say anything, he suddenly moved his brow and suddenly turned his gaze to the left rear, where a young man in a brocade robe was staring at him with a smile and said softly:

"I want this thing."

Chen Yuan immediately opened his Celestial Eye, and sure enough, the person who came had the luck he needed, and immediately threw the iron piece to him, and replied in a deep voice:

"I want your life!"
