Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 819 Fight
Chen Wang shattered the spiritual imprint of the God-Slaying Technique with a single sword strike. He looked towards the heavens and said calmly, "The mortal realm is not a place for you to meddle in. If you have the ability, come down here and see if I can kill you!"

Chen Wang had a premonition that the being from beyond the heavens should be able to hear his words before the God-Slaying Technique wore off.

However, there was still no response from heaven and earth. After the divine light of the God-Slaying Technique dissipated, Chen Wang could no longer feel that ancient and vast will from beyond the heavens.

Everyone was stunned.

Feng Wuji and Yan Huifeng lay on the ground like dead dogs.

Chen Wang walked over unhurriedly, looked at Feng Wuji and said indifferently, "You have good taste, kid. You've managed to latch onto this powerful figure."

Feng Wuji's face flushed red, and he hurriedly struggled to get up, his head hitting the ground repeatedly. He showed no composure whatsoever as a Nascent Soul expert, and said in a panic, "Dean Chen, I was also misled. It was all the Grand Elder's doing. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing, colluding with the Great Yan Heaven. I'll fucking kill him!"

Later on, Feng Wuji, a master of the Nascent Soul stage, could no longer contain his anger.

They thought the Grand Elder had shown them a broad road to heaven, a path that would lead them to immortality. But they never expected that he would use them as a catalyst, as a sacrifice.

At this moment, Yan Huifeng couldn't help but burst into a tirade, cursing the elder's ancestors for eight generations, with foul language constantly escaping his ears.

Chen Wang frowned and said calmly, "Stop cursing, get to the point."

The two immediately stopped talking, without pausing for even a second.

Feng Wuji said, "The Grand Elder taught us the God-Slaying Technique, saying that with this technique we could summon the power of Ancestor Yun'ao. We believed him and that's why we became enemies with the Bodhi Holy Land. But we never expected to be tricked by him. Please, Dean Chen, do justice for us."

He glanced at the people from Bodhi Holy Land and couldn't help but shudder at their murderous gazes.

If Chen Wang hadn't been so imposing, the people of Bodhi Holy Land would have already been unable to restrain themselves and would have killed them.

Moreover, although the people of Bodhi Holy Land do not act rashly, they cannot be imagined as all kind monks who do not kill. They are extremely ruthless in slaying demons and monsters, and they have many methods to make you wish you were dead, and they call it "conversion".

Chen Wang looked at Feng Wuji and said, "I want to take you back to the Ancient Immortal Holy Land so you can identify the Grand Elder. Are you willing?"

Feng Wuji kowtowed repeatedly, his head hitting the ground with a loud thud, and he shouted, "I do! I do!"

Yan Huifeng followed suit and said loudly, "Me too, I'm willing too."

Chen Wang said calmly, "Actually, the two of you are of no use to me. Whether you testify against him or not doesn't matter much to me. I just want to go through the formalities, so I'll spare your lives for now."

The two were very grateful.

Even with Chen Wang saying that, they felt confident that they had secured their lives and at least wouldn't lose them.

If Chen Wang disregards their testimonies and attacks the Grand Elder directly, he could eliminate them both in an instant.

They kept kowtowing, and blood flowed down their foreheads, making them look extremely pitiful.

Chen Wang looked at the monk Shenchan and said, "I'll take those two with me first. I also hope you'll tell the old monk of Bodhi Holy Land everything that happened today. Don't be too old-fashioned. The world is different now. If you stick to your mountain gate, you'll only be vulnerable to being plotted against. You still need to find someone with the strength of me to join forces."

Chen Wang's tone was very flippant, but no one laughed at him; what he said did indeed have practical significance.

The monk Shenchan looked solemn and said respectfully, "Rest assured, brother, I will definitely convey this message."

Chen Wang nodded and said, "Go ahead, I also want to go to the Ancient Immortal Holy Land."

Then Chen Wang waved his sleeve, and Yan Huifeng and Feng Wuji disappeared, having been put away by him.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Wang's figure transformed into a streak of light, soaring through the air and disappearing into the horizon.

The monk Shenchan looked at Chen Wangyuan's departing figure with a touch of emotion in his eyes.

When he made the deal with Chen Wang, they were both at the Nascent Soul stage, but now Chen Wang's cultivation has become so strong.

The monk Shenchan possessed keen spiritual insight, and among those present, he was the only one who sensed the ancient and vast will from beyond the heavens.

This time, the twenty-four people joined forces to perform the God-Slaying Technique, and that ancient will was strengthened to a certain extent.

Although Huiben and Huixing did not sense it, the monk Shenchan clearly perceived that will, which made him feel frightened, as if he would be wiped out if he showed the slightest disrespect in front of that will.

The monk Shenchan exclaimed with deep emotion, "We owe a great debt to Brother Chen today!"

Huiben and Huixing also felt this deeply.

Huiben said, "Let's return to the sect as soon as possible and report today's events to the head monk."

Huixing said in a deep voice, "Today's matter is not so simple. It is not just a matter of the Bodhi Holy Land alone. The Great Flame Heaven has begun to interfere in human affairs through the people of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land. We must tell the Chief about the implications of this matter."

He was indeed very calm and able to figure out the key points.

If Chen Wang were here, he would also think highly of him.

Finally, the Bodhi Holy Land produced someone with a somewhat clever mind, no longer a stubborn and rigid stone man cut from the same mold.

The monk Shenchan nodded and said, "What you two senior brothers say makes sense. We should hurry back to the mountain gate to avoid any unforeseen events."

Immediately, everyone took out their flying magical artifacts, activated them with all their might, and sped towards the Bodhi Holy Land.

When Chen Wang arrived at the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, the people there saw him from afar and immediately became alert. The elders guarding the mountain immediately activated the mountain-guarding formation.

However, the formation was not fully activated; it was merely in operation, ready to guard the mountain gate at any time.

Chen Wang was accompanied by Feng Wuji and Yan Huifeng, who were very respectful and meek.

Feng Wuji was a man of the Grand Elder in the sect, holding a high position and great power; he was the Grand Elder's confidant.

The fact that he was able to lead twenty-three Nascent Soul stage experts and obtain the Heaven-Turning Seal is enough to show the Grand Elder's trust in him.

At this moment, he looked at the elder guarding the mountain and said coldly, "Nonsense! When a distinguished guest arrives, why don't you quickly open the mountain gate to welcome him? Don't do such a shameful thing, make people laugh at you, and neglect your distinguished guest."

Although the elder guarding the mountain was at the same Nascent Soul stage as him, his status was far inferior, and he dared not get angry after being scolded by him.

Feng Wuji was a favorite of the Grand Elder, so he quickly opened the mountain gate.

Boom! Boom!
The formation was dispelled, and the mountain gate opened wide to welcome Chen Wang. Chen Wang swaggered in, and soon disciples went to report to the sect leader Ye Qingshuang, while others went to report to the Grand Elder.

Ye Qingshuang's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Wang, knowing that the matter had been resolved and that the next step would be of utmost importance.

Ye Qingshuang stepped forward and cupped her hands in greeting.
"I've met Dean Chen."

Chen Wang nodded slightly and said coldly, "Sect Master Ye, the good deed your Ancient Immortal Holy Land did was to ambush and kill the Bodhi Holy Land. I'm afraid the Bodhi Holy Land will come to hold you accountable soon."

Ye Qingshuang asked, "What does this mean? Our Ancient Immortal Holy Land has strict rules and has already made a contract with the Bodhi Holy Land to determine the winner through a bet. Since we lost that battle, we will never renege on our debt. Dean Chen may be highly skilled, but he is underestimating the people of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land!"

Her words were righteous and eloquent, echoing Chen Wang's.

Soon, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land arrived with his followers, and his expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing the news.

His gaze fell on Chen Wang, and then on Feng Wuji and Yan Huifeng beside Chen Wang.

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land snorted coldly.

Chen Wang calmly said, "It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Sect Master Ye, but was done by the Grand Elder alone."

These words caused an uproar!
Many people were unaware that Feng Wuji was leading twenty-three Nascent Soul cultivators to ambush and kill the Bodhi Holy Land cultivators.

The people of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land value their reputation highly. The more domineering a person is, the more they care about their reputation. They would never do such a breach of contract, as that would make them a laughingstock to the world.

At this moment, many people turned their attention to the Grand Elder, whispering and discussing among themselves.

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land sneered, "You scoundrel, you came here to maliciously frame me and deliberately slander me. What are your intentions!"

Chen Wang said calmly, "Of course I won't accuse you without reason, Elder Feng. Please tell me about this matter."

Feng Wuji nodded, took a step forward, raised his head and puffed out his chest, pointed at the nose of the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land and cursed: "Fuck your mother! You're the one who sent us to ambush the Bodhi Holy Land cultivators of Wushan, and told me to be discreet and leave no survivors. What, now you dare to do it but not admit it, you old bastard!"

At this moment, he was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he gritted his teeth.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land's eyes blazed with fury. He snorted coldly and immediately activated his divine power, unleashing two beams of cold light!

Chen Wang felt helpless.

He asked Feng Wuji to step forward and identify the Grand Elder, but unexpectedly Feng Wuji was so fierce that he immediately started cursing, forcing the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land to take action.

Chen Wang raised his hand and flicked his sleeve, thus neutralizing the Grand Elder's divine power, and a powerful force of Dao spread outwards.

Chen Wang said calmly, "Is the Grand Elder in such a hurry to silence us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Wuji, who broke out in a cold sweat. He composed himself and shouted, "Brothers, we've all been deceived by the Grand Elder! The God-Slaying Technique he taught us is an evil art. When we activated it earlier, we were controlled by this technique and were unconsciously refined to death to increase the power of the technique. It's all evil art!"

This statement caused an uproar!
The cultivators practicing the God-Slaying Technique were instantly thrown into chaos.

They looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

Feng Wuji usually held considerable prestige within the sect; otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to lead twenty-three Nascent Soul cultivators.

When he revealed the truth, many people believed him. Yan Huifeng chimed in, saying with grief and indignation, "Of the twenty-four people who went, only the two of us came back alive. The other brothers were all killed by that God-Slaying Technique. He taught us evil arts, making us provide power for the God-Slaying Technique in order to guide the cultivators of the Great Yan Heaven down to the mortal realm!"

Feng Wuji's face flushed with anger as he shouted, "That's right! He colluded with the Great Yan Heaven, intending to overthrow the entire Dao Ning World, all to achieve his own immortality. He's sacrificing all of us to the Great Yan Heaven!"

Their back-and-forth banter immediately stirred up the mountain gate, sparking a flurry of discussion.

Ye Qingshuang suddenly said, "Impossible! I believe the Grand Elder. How could the Grand Elder do such a dirty thing! To sell the people of our Ancient Immortal Holy Land to the Great Flame Heaven is to cut off his own ancestors!"

Ye Qingshuang's words only made things worse, as many people couldn't help but shout, "Sect Leader, you're too kind! This old thief taught us the God-Slaying Technique and even said he would drive you down and rule the entire Dao Ning World in the future. I never expected he was a liar!"

“That’s right. I’ve known for a long time that this old thief has ulterior motives. He was the one who colluded with Fang Xian Dao to try to conquer Da Zhou last time. I felt something was wrong at the time, but I didn’t dare to expose it because of the power of the Grand Elder. But now that this old thief has done such a dirty and shameful thing, I will risk my life to expose his true colors!”

At this moment, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and once someone started speaking, the crowd's emotions immediately surged.

Upon seeing this, Chen Wang raised an eyebrow, realizing that the person who had come out to reveal this earlier must undoubtedly be Ye Qingshuang's confidant.

He glanced at Ye Qingshuang; this female sect leader did have some tricks up her sleeve.

People have a herd mentality, but the oppressive atmosphere left by the Grand Elder was too heavy. No one would betray him so quickly. It must have been someone arranged by Ye Qingshuang.

Chen Wang's eyes met Ye Qingshuang's. Ye Qingshuang smiled slightly at him, then said with a pained expression, "I never thought you were this kind of person! How could you collude with the Great Yan Heaven? Isn't this handing over our ancestral legacy to someone else?"

"If I have committed any misconduct, please punish me according to the sect's regulations, or you may even strip me of my position as sect leader."

Ye Qingshuang's tone was very sad, and she seemed somewhat disheartened.

The Grand Elder, observing the crowd's performance—clearly putting him in this predicament—snorted coldly.
"Am I seeing things? How can the power-grabbing tactics of a secular dynasty appear in my ancient immortal holy land? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?!"

At this moment, his hair and beard stood on end, and he exuded an imposing aura without being angry. Everyone was intimidated by his aura and dared not act rashly.

In the sects of the cultivation world, strength is paramount. He alone represents the highest will, and no one dares to disobey him.

However, the current situation is somewhat delicate.

At this moment, Chen Wang said lazily, "Old man, you colluded with the Great Yan Heaven to harm the entire human world, and now you're still showing off your power here. Do you really think no one can suppress you?"

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land glared at Chen Wang and roared, "It is you who is inciting people here! I will kill you first, and then wipe out the traitors within the sect!"

He was indeed very arrogant. Even though saying this now would arouse hatred and fear among the people in the sect, he still didn't care.

As long as he gets rid of Chen Wang, he will still be the same domineering elder who can easily suppress any dissenting voices within the sect.

The next moment, one powerful statue after another lit up within the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, and a profound aura emanated from it, continuously spreading upwards into the sky. The fragrance of incense was extremely rich, like clouds and mist.

The Grand Elder was shrouded in the scent of incense, his face obscured and giving off a dangerous aura.
