After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 828 Mysterious Woman, She Can Tell You're Not Human at a Glance!
Wang Yuanchao?
Chen Yang frowned slightly; as expected, it was Wang Yuanchao who had released him.

He thought about it and realized that this person hadn't actually made any major mistakes; he was just a greenhorn who had just entered the martial arts world, and he had the mysterious Northern Emperor Sect behind him. Wang Yuanchao certainly didn't want to offend him.

So, true to form, people like this will likely be given a warning and then released.

Chen Yang was speechless. He could have at least locked him up for a few more days. What happened to the promise of arranging for a high-ranking monk to teach him?
He even wanted to call Wang Yuanchao and have a talk with him.

However, it's no use hitting him; that old man will always have a lot of reasons to give.

Chen Yang asked, "Where are you going? Rongdu? You're not thinking of causing me trouble again, are you?"

"Do not."

Ke Shaohua shook his head. "I have already confirmed your identity with Chairman Wang and the others. Since you are indeed a disciple of Emei, there is no reason for me to keep pressing you."

He's been doing alright in Emei these past few days, not as badly as he'd imagined. After all, he has a powerful sect behind him, so even if Emei wants to control him, they'll have to think twice.

As for Wang Yuanchao, he was naturally treated with great courtesy. Although a high-ranking monk was arranged to give him a sermon, he was not a Buddhist disciple and was not interested at all.

Seeing that this man was completely unresponsive and wouldn't listen to reason, Wang Yuanchao and his group realized that forcibly converting him would only backfire and could easily offend the Northern Emperor faction behind him. Therefore, after educating him, they released him.

"So, I should thank you for not bothering me?" Chen Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Ke Shaohua's face twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "You're the one bothering me now, and I'd love to get as far away from you as possible."

Chen Yang asked, "Where are we headed?"

“Rao Jiang,” Ke Shaohua said.

"Rao Jiang?"

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised.

Ke Shaohua said, "Let's go to Wuliang Mountain to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path."

He spoke those few words with a firm and powerful voice, and his whole being exuded righteousness.

"Ha, you actually went? Do you even know what kind of place that is?"

Chen Yang's eye-rolling was so bad that even Guo Jing would have to call him "Master."

"The Devil's Den".

Ke Shaohua uttered two words, his face filled with excitement.

His purpose in coming down the mountain for training was to eliminate demons and evil spirits, but he hasn't encountered any decent evil cultivators during this time.

He finally met Chen Yang, but not only did he get thoroughly humiliated, he also ended up discovering that he had picked the wrong person and had been beaten up for nothing.

Now, he was seething with anger and just wanted to find some evil cultivators to vent his frustration.

When he left, Wang Yuanchao told him that there was a demonic cave in Raojiang called the Gu God Sect, which was full of evil cultivators. He could kill as many people as he wanted without anyone interfering.

If he could truly contribute to eliminating the Gu God Cult, Wang Yuanchao promised to award him an official medal.

He vaguely remembered that Chen Yang had mentioned Raojiang's Gu God Cult to him that day at Phoenix Mountain.

At that moment, Ke Shaohua's sense of righteousness surged to its peak, and without saying a word, he decided to venture into Raojiang.

It has to be said that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is truly harmful.

Upon hearing the words "Demon's Den," Chen Yang found it somewhat amusing. "Do you know how many experts are in that place? With your abilities, you'd just be easy prey if you went there."

"I……"

Ke Shaohua choked for a moment, his expression somewhat unnatural, before he retorted, "That night, I didn't use my full strength. I still had a powerful move to unleash. If you hadn't interrupted my spellcasting, the outcome would have been uncertain..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "Shall we find somewhere to practice again?"

“You’re not an evil cultivator, I won’t fight you.”

With a single sentence, Ke Shaohua saved face and thwarted the other party's desire to fight him again.

In reality, a loss is a loss. Even if he could do it all over again, he might not necessarily win. He can make excuses for losing once, but losing twice is utterly shameful.

The lesson he learned that night is still vivid in his mind and he doesn't want to think about it anymore.

"Where are you going again? Back to Chengdu?" Ke Shaohua quickly changed the subject.

Chen Yang shrugged. "Just like you, I'm going to Raojiang."

"Oh? So we're going the same way?"

"Ah."

"You're going to Wuliang Mountain too?"

"Ah."

……

Chen Yang really didn't expect that Ke Shaohua, who usually acted so arrogantly, would turn out to be such a chatterbox once they started talking, chattering away with Chen Yang the whole way.

Chen Yang also took this opportunity to learn about the Northern Emperor Sect behind him from him.

This sect seems to be quite remarkable. They are hidden deep in the Qinling Mountains, and Ke Shaohua did not reveal their exact location. They can be considered a truly reclusive sect.

Their sect is protected by array formations and restrictions, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter, even if they know the location.

Ke Shaohua said that their Northern Emperor Sect also has three Dao Realm experts, and in terms of high-level combat power, they are no less than first-class sects such as Emei.

It's not an exaggeration to say that someone could train a disciple like Ke Shaohua; in fact, there might even be some hidden agenda.

The fact that the Northern Emperor Sect was besieged by so many other sects yet still managed to preserve its lineage and continue to this day must mean it possesses genuine skill.

The Northern Emperor Sect is a reclusive sect and rarely sends its disciples down the mountain. Ke Shaohua's trip here is a test of his abilities.

Like Chen Yang, his mental state was stuck at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, and he encountered a bottleneck, unable to break through for a long time.

His master told him that the Northern Emperor Sect followed the path of killing, and that he should go down the mountain to kill a few evil cultivators. Once his Dao heart was stable and his thoughts were clear, he would naturally be able to break through.

Hearing this, Chen Yang felt it was somewhat like listening to a fairy tale. What kind of path was the Path of Slaughter? Could one break through it by killing a few evil and demonic cultivators?

This Northern Emperor faction is indeed quite something.

"Have you ever heard of the Shennong School?" Chen Yang asked abruptly.

"Shennong Sect, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Shaohua corrected him.

Chen Yang was a little surprised. He had asked casually without much hope, but it seemed that Ke Shaohua actually knew.

"Yes, Shennong Sect, have you heard of it?" Chen Yang asked quickly.

"of course."

Ke Shaohua nodded. "I've not only heard of it, I've also been there. Shennong Sect, like our Beidi Sect, is in seclusion. Their strength is about the same as our Beidi Sect. Three years ago, I even went to Shennong Sect to participate in the competition for the younger generation of disciples and won second place..."

He began to speak at length, as if recounting his own glorious deeds.

Chen Yang had no interest in these things and quickly interrupted him, "Where is Shennong Sect located?"

"Shennong Mountain!"

"Shennong Mountain?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

The name Shennong Mountain is widely known, and it is most famous for the legend of the Wild Man. There are vast primeval forests there, and in terms of mystery, it is probably no less than the Shuailao Mountain in Xinjiang.

The Shennong Sect, which had only existed for a short time a century ago, was not wiped out, but instead went into seclusion.

"Why are you asking this? Do you have relatives in Shennongmen?" Ke Shaohua asked.

Chen Yang's face twitched slightly. "A friend of mine has ancestors from the Shennong Sect, and he asked me to help him trace his ancestry."

"That's it."

Ke Shaohua was a simple-minded man; he believed everything Chen Yang said. "Their sect's headquarters are even harder to find than our Northern Emperor Sect's. Without someone to guide you, you simply can't get in. However, I do know a few disciples of the Shennong Sect. If there's an opportunity, I can introduce you to them..."

……

The two chatted, and before they knew it, the car had arrived in the provincial capital and stopped at the South Station.

Their destination was Xinjiang; the provincial capital was just a short stop, and neither of them got off the bus.

There were quite a few people getting on and off at this stop, so the stop took a little longer.

A young woman wearing a mask came over and sat right next to Ke Shaohua.

Chen Yang was having a great time chatting with Ke Shaohua and wanted to switch seats with her, but she refused.

There was nothing Chen Yang could do; the seat belonged to someone else, and he couldn't just take it by force. So he exchanged contact information with Ke Shaohua, returned to his seat, and prepared to contact him again after getting off the bus.

He still needed to consult Ke Shaohua about the Shennong Gate.

At this moment, Sun Tianhao had also gotten into the car and was sitting with Chen Yang.

Ke Shaohua's seat was about ten rows behind them.

"We'll arrive in Kunming around 9 PM. We'll stay in Kunming for the night; the hotel is already booked. A car will pick us up early tomorrow morning..."

Sun Tianhao then introduced the itinerary to Chen Yang.

He was the prized disciple of Elder Qingquan. Now that Elder Qingquan is dead and has returned to the Five Internal Organs Temple, he is the leader of the Five Elements Sect.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the Gu God Cult's "Immortal Slaying Conference". Chen Yang is only here as an observer and does not intend to get involved directly. Therefore, the Five Elements Sect is a good place to stay.

The Five Elements Sect's Five Organs Temple is located on the edge of Wuliang Mountain, not too far from Jinding Mountain.

He could release the little white snake at that time to observe the scene.

"you decide."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, having no objection to Sun Tianhao's arrangement.

He closed his eyes and rested.

Meanwhile, Ke Shaohua, sitting behind him, was sitting upright with his back straight, one hand gripping his peach wood Seven Star Sword wrapped in black cloth.

His body was tense, like a ferocious beast poised to pounce.

……

-

Kunming. Chen Yang had only taken a nap when the car arrived in Kunming.

Kunming is a tourist city, and during the summer vacation, there are many tourists.

He got out of the car with Sun Tianhao.

People came and went, shoulder to shoulder, and Chen Yang looked around but did not see Ke Shaohua.

I probed out with my mental energy, and this guy's features were quite distinctive.

Fifty meters ahead, a tall, burly man with a braid and carrying a wooden sword that looked like a coffin lid was walking quickly out of the station.

We agreed to get off the bus together, so why did this guy leave first?

Are you afraid I'll mess with him again?
Chen Yang quickly chased after him.

……

When Chen Yang came out of the station, it was already dark outside, and there were crowds of pedestrians. He spotted Ke Shaohua at a glance.

The guy ran like a rabbit, got on a motorcycle taxi, pointed to a taxi ahead, and the motorcycle taxi driver nodded and quickly took him to chase after the taxi.

Chen Yang was slightly taken aback. What was Ke Shaohua up to?
It doesn't seem like they're hiding from me.

By this time, Sun Tianhao had already called a car.

Chen Yang got into the car. "Follow that motorcycle!"

He felt that Ke Shaohua's behavior was a bit strange. Given this guy's nature, he might have lost his mind again and thought he had encountered some evil cultivator, so he chased after him to exorcise the demon!
……

-

North City, an abandoned construction site.

A woman in white slowly walked into the construction site. She was wearing a mask, so her face was not visible, but her figure alone was stunning.

There was no one around. The dim yellow streetlights shone into the construction site, which was overgrown with weeds. Several abandoned buildings revealed their mottled silhouettes in the moonlight.

The atmosphere was especially eerie in the middle of the night.

The moment the woman stepped into the construction site, all the chirping of insects on the site stopped.

At this moment, a motorcycle stopped at the intersection. Ke Shaohua got off the motorcycle, carrying the peach wood seven-star sword, and was about to walk into the construction site.

"Hey, you haven't paid yet!"

The voice of the motorcycle taxi driver came from behind.

"Oh!"

Ke Shaohua shrank back, and the momentum he had just built up suddenly weakened.

He quickly paid the fare and ran towards the construction site.

It was as if they were afraid their prey would escape.

Deep within the construction site, beneath an abandoned building.

Under the moonlight, a white figure seemed to be waiting for him.

With her long, flowing hair and exquisite figure, she resembled an alluring female ghost.

She was wearing a mask; she was the woman sitting next to Ke Shaohua in the car.

"What is your intention in following and stalking a frail woman in the middle of the night?"

The sound was like a clear spring striking rocks, or the song of an oriole, exceptionally pleasant to the ear.

The sound of it reaching my ears is simply a pleasure.

Judging a person by their voice, someone with such a pleasant voice must be quite good-looking.

Ke Shaohua stopped about 20 meters away from her and immediately took the peach wood Seven Star Sword off his back.

"You monster, I can tell you're not human at first glance, prepare to die!"

Ke Shaohua was incredibly irritable. He didn't give the other party a chance to speak at all. With a roar, he raised the greatsword.

"Thunder!"

He poured his true essence into the sword, and lightning crackled across its blade. With a deafening boom, he slashed directly at the woman.

A terrifying current of electricity coalesced into a bolt of lightning, striking in an instant and illuminating the entire construction site for a moment.

The woman's figure moved like a wisp of smoke, nimbly dodging to the side.

"boom!"

The lightning struck the spot where she had just stood, engulfing an area ten meters above the ground, and creating a huge crater almost instantly.

A pungent, acrid smell instantly filled the air.

Ke Shaohua has learned his lesson this time. Last time he fought Chen Yang, he didn't even have time to use his ultimate move before Chen Yang beat him to it. This time, he didn't care about anything and just went straight for the ultimate move.

Before the smoke of battle had cleared, Ke Shaohua's mental energy had already spread out.

That woman has disappeared.

Although his move was powerful, he clearly saw his opponent dodge it.

"Not very old, but with quite a temper!"

A clear, melodious voice came from beside me.

Ke Shaohua was startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the woman standing on a pile of huge cement pipes.

The moon hung behind her, and the hazy moonlight made her figure look incredibly beautiful.

But Ke Shaohua was clearly the kind of person who didn't understand romance; he didn't care whether you were a beautiful woman or a handsome man, he would still do it anyway.

"Susu!"

The ground suddenly surged, and several vines of unknown plants burst forth from the ground, piercing the darkness and rushing towards Ke Shaohua in an instant.

Ke Shaohua was shocked and dared not be negligent. He immediately swung his peach wood seven-star sword and slashed at the enemy.

"Oh!"

The vine struck the sword, and the lightning on the sword instantly blasted the vine apart.

At the same time, the immense force wrapped around the vine sent Ke Shaohua flying.

He flew backward for twenty or thirty meters, landing on the ground and stumbling backward for more than ten steps before finally stabbing his body back into place with his giant sword.

So strong!

Ke Shaohua's expression changed drastically.

He looked up.

Under the moonlight, the woman stood on the cement pipe, several vines swaying behind her like the tail of a nine-tailed fox, incredibly alluring!
Even though Ke Shaohua was used to seeing such scenes, he couldn't help but feel uneasy at the sight.

I don't think I checked the almanac when I went out today; I've really struck gold!
Not only did his opponent easily dodge his lightning spell, but the power of that attack just now completely exceeded his expectations.

Dao Zhen Realm?
Such a thought suddenly appeared in Ke Shaohua's mind.

The woman in front of me is very likely a Dao True Realm being.

How is this still playing?
"Sorry, I've mistaken you for someone else!"

He wasn't stupid; knowing he was outmatched, going up to fight would be suicide. After saying that, Ke Shaohua turned and left.

"Did I let you go?"

A cold voice came from behind.

Immediately, a powerful aura of primordial spirit pressed down on Ke Shaohua.

Ke Shaohua suddenly felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, and his steps came to an abrupt halt, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

The Realm of Dao!
Before a Dao True Realm expert, even the strongest Creation Realm cultivator is nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

The mere pressure of a primordial spirit is enough to make a being in the Creation Realm stretch out their neck and await death.

They simply cannot muster the will to resist.

At this moment, several vines quickly wrapped around Ke Shaohua.

Ke Shaohua reached out and grasped a wooden plaque hidden in his clothes.

In an instant, the vines wrapped around his hands and feet, lifting him up with tremendous force, as if they were about to tear him apart.

"what!"

Ke Shaohua let out a roar.

The next second, a terrifying arc of light flashed from his body, and suddenly he transformed into a ball of lightning and fire. The arc of electricity traveled through the vines wrapped around him and struck the woman.

The woman seemed to instinctively sense the danger and almost immediately cut the vine.

"boom!"

A terrifying explosion rang out, and the scene looked as if it had been struck by lightning.

Ke Shaohua landed on the ground, his clothes turned to ashes by the electric shock, revealing his strong muscles. His hair stood on end, the wooden plaque on his chest emitted crackling currents, and arcs of electricity coiled around his body, as if he had transformed into a thunder king.

"court death!"

The woman seemed to be enraged, and instantly condensed a spiritual sword aura, which she was about to slash at Ke Shaohua.

Whoosh!
Suddenly, the woman felt a chill run down her spine, as if a great danger was approaching, and she quickly dodged to the side.

"boom!"

A massive, lightning-crackling broadsword grazed past her body.

A young man carrying a backpack followed closely behind.

The woman instinctively sensed danger and unleashed her primordial spirit sword energy directly at the approaching figure.

"Oh!"

The opponent was no pushover either; he unleashed a primordial spirit sword aura to meet it. The two collided and instantly annihilated each other.
