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

Chapter 900 The Headless Dharma Body Bestows Treasures, Blocking the Road to Seize Opportunities!
The next second, the headless body stretched its hands forward.

The box and the Crimson Sky Sword flew out of his hand and flew directly towards Chen Yang, landing very accurately at his feet.

"Ah this..."

This scene took Chen Yang by surprise, and he instinctively took a step back.

What does it mean?
You gave it to me?
He wouldn't mistake me for a descendant of the Yang family just because he saw me holding the Crimson Sky Sword, would he?

The headless avatar ignored Chen Yang and retreated to the original position of the stone platform. It sat cross-legged on the ground, and its body surface was quickly covered with white frost. The white frost quickly condensed into ice, and its whole body was soon frozen by a thin layer of ice.

"Rumble..."

The ground shook, and the stone door at the cave entrance opened automatically again.

Chen Yang was completely baffled.

However, one thing seems certain: the crisis appears to have passed.

Does this person mean they've given me the items and want me to leave?

This dramatic turn of events, from the heights of success to the depths of despair, and then back to the heights again, was like a rollercoaster ride—so thrilling that it felt almost unreal.

The headless avatar sat on the ground, its aura already concealed.

Chen Yang glanced at the Crimson Sky Sword and the box at his feet.

They've thrown it all in front of me; the meaning couldn't be clearer, so why not take it?

He immediately picked up the Crimson Sky Sword and the box, and without saying a word, put them into his system space.

His gaze swept across the scene, landing on Wang Youzhi and the corpse of the large, dark-skinned man.

If we can take them with us, we definitely should, especially that Wang Youzhi.

Both of them came from Kunlun, and they were after this headless Dharma body. If given the chance, Chen Yang would naturally want to find out more about these two people.

"senior……"

The two heads were not far from the headless body, and he felt uneasy, somewhat afraid to take them.

The headless body did not respond.

"Thank you for the treasure, senior. I will dispose of the bodies of these two to avoid disturbing your peace..."

Chen Yang lowered his posture, becoming more nervous than ever before.

The headless body remained unresponsive, seemingly reverting to a corpse once more.

If you don't speak, that's the default.

Chen Yang steeled himself and walked over, pulling the two heads out of the ice pile and collecting them along with the bodies.

The headless body still did not react.

"Junior, take your leave!"

Chen Yang dared not linger any longer; his legs were trembling, and he made his escape immediately.

I turned and ran away, wishing my parents could give me more legs.

"Boom..."

Not long after Chen Yang rushed out of the cave, a rumbling sound came from behind him.

Without even turning around, he knew that the stone door at the cave entrance had fallen down.

Chen Yang didn't turn his head; he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Young man, our karma is now settled. Keep the contents of the box safe and don't let anyone else know."

A faint voice reached Chen Yang's ears, as if someone was whispering directly in his ear.

Chen Yang suddenly stopped and looked back.

The stone door at the entrance of the cave has been lowered, and what comes into view is a stone wall covered with ice.

It's him……

Chen Yang's expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" the eight-winged centipede asked.

"It's the person in the jar!"

Chen Yang's expression became quite interesting.

"Oh?"

The eight-winged centipede was somewhat taken aback. It hadn't heard the telepathic message, so it didn't understand why Chen Yang had suddenly said that.

After all, they had suspected from the beginning that the headless corpse was the manifestation of the being in the jar, so Chen Yang's sudden statement at this moment seemed quite illogical.

Chen Yang said, "He just sent me a telepathic message, saying that our karmic ties have been cleared..."

"Uh……"

The eight-winged centipede paused for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into curses, "Damn, so he knew he owed us a favor all along? And he deliberately pulled this stunt to scare us?"

Chen Yang's face twitched.

I felt a chill in my heart as well.

In other words, the being he released from the jar has returned here? Returned to its Dharma body?

Is this also the reason why the headless corpse rises from the dead?
So, were we really just trying to scare and tease them before?
If you want to repay a favor, then repay it properly. Why do you have to scare me first? What kind of twisted sense of humor is that?

The scene of the headless body having its head replaced still lingers in his mind, and the scene of those two people having their heads twisted off alive is also impossible for him to forget.

The eight-winged centipede retorted indignantly, "I got a share of the credit for letting him out. He repaid your favor, but he hasn't repaid the favor he owes me yet..."

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated. "If you're so capable, go ask him for it."

"I……"

The eight-winged centipede glanced at the stone gate, then swallowed back what it was about to say.

Asking someone with such power to repay a favor is like asking for trouble.

Let's get out of here quickly.

The eight-winged centipede and the little white snake both crawled into Chen Yang's backpack and quickly left the passage.

……

-

Emerging from the passage, we arrived at the platform.

Zhou Mingyuan was already waiting on the platform. He was a little surprised to see Chen Yang come out of the first hole.

How did you get out of here?

Zhou Mingyuan looked at him in confusion. If he remembered correctly, the cave entrance had been opened a long time ago.

Either Chen Tianyang or Zhao Quanzhen have been in there, so what good could it possibly do?
Chen Yang gave a wry smile. "Senior Shi Ling guided me in to take a look, but I ended up encountering a headless corpse and almost got beaten to death..."

When he came out, the headless Dharma body warned him to keep it a secret, so he didn't tell Zhou Mingyuan. He knew Zhou Mingyuan would ask questions, so it was better to avoid trouble.

"Oh? A headless corpse?"

Zhou Mingyuan frowned slightly, his curiosity growing even stronger.

Chen Yang briefly explained the situation, saying what needed to be said and concealing what shouldn't be said.

Zhou Mingyuan's curiosity was useless; the cave entrance was already closed, and he couldn't get in.

"You didn't open this hole?"

He pointed to another cave entrance that Huanglong had divined as a winning one. The ice wall at the entrance had been broken, clearly indicating that someone had already gone inside.

He thought it was Chen Yang, but it seems that's not the case.

"No."

Chen Yang shook his head, his expression serious.

Could it be that there were more than just those two from Kunlun?
These people arrived just in time; they really know how to snag a bargain.

If he hadn't opened the bronze gate outside, who among these people could have gotten in?
At that moment, footsteps came from the fourth cave entrance.

A figure quickly emerged.

It was Huanglong.

He looked smug and his steps were much lighter.

With a satisfied smile on his lips, anyone who didn't know better would think he had just become a groom.

"Oh, you're all out?"

Huang Long spotted Chen Yang and Zhou Mingyuan immediately and walked over. "So? What inheritances did you both get?"

Chen Yang shook his head, and Zhou Mingyuan also shook his head.

When it comes to the inheritance of opportunities, everyone relies on their own abilities. What you obtain is yours to keep. There's no need to tell others or inquire about what others have gained. Such behavior is impolite and also dangerous.

If they were all trustworthy people, that would be fine, but some temporary teams are bound to have murderous and plundering intentions. "You seem to have had a good haul?" Zhou Mingyuan glanced at him.

"It's nothing to worry about."

Huang Long waved his hand.

Although he said it was nothing to brag about, his face was beaming with joy. "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go outside and chat."

Zhou Mingyuan and Chen Yang, however, did not move.

"What's wrong?" Huang Long asked, puzzled.

Zhou Mingyuan explained the situation.

After hearing this, Huang Long looked at Chen Yang and asked, "You didn't go in?"

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

A black line appeared on Huang Long's forehead. "I've already done the divination for you all, but you don't believe me. Why did you believe in the Stone Spirit? You deserve to be tricked..."

Chen Yang's face twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything in rebuttal.

Huang Long turned around and looked at the cave entrance that Chen Yang was supposed to go into. His expression was not good. "So, someone followed us to take advantage of us?"

"It's alright. According to the rules of the martial world, taking away someone's opportunity is like killing their parents. We'll wait here until he comes out, and then we'll snatch it back..."

……

There are two remaining cave entrances, which are frozen and have not been opened. However, Huanglong has divined the fate of these two cave entrances, and the result for both is an unfavorable omen.

A bad omen means misfortune and danger. It might even mean that some kind of monster is trapped inside. Forget about any opportunities or inheritance; you might not be able to get out.

He naturally wouldn't persuade Chen Yang to go in again. The best course of action right now was to wait for this opportunistic guy to come out and then rob him.

The three waited for about ten minutes before footsteps came from the cave entrance.

A short while later, a young man emerged from the cave entrance.

Wearing a gray down jacket, he looked to be in his early twenties. His long hair was draped behind his head, and he was fair-skinned and handsome. His eyes, in particular, were captivating, even though he was a man.

He held a sword in his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips, the same smile he had when Huanglong appeared earlier, clearly indicating that he had also gained something.

When he saw the three people in front of him, he paused for a moment, then stopped in his tracks, placing his sword slightly in front of him in a defensive stance.

But when his gaze fell on Zhou Mingyuan, he was slightly taken aback, then dropped his defensive stance and bowed to Zhou Mingyuan, "So it is Senior Zhou, junior Lu Xiong Ying pays his respects."

This scene stunned all three of them.

Chen Yang and Huang Long both looked at Zhou Mingyuan, realizing that he was someone Zhou Mingyuan knew.

"you know me?"

Zhou Mingyuan was also completely bewildered, looking at the young man in front of him with suspicion. He seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The young man smiled slightly and said, "Senior may not remember me. Three years ago, my grandfather brought me to Chengdu to pay our respects and deliver an invitation to you..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyuan vaguely remembered, "You are the grandson of Lu Feihong of the Shennong Sect?"

Three years ago, the only one to send him an invitation was Shennong Sect. Three years ago, Shennong Sect held a grand competition for the younger generation, which was attended by many hidden sects. Shennong Sect also sent him an invitation to be a spectator, but he did not go to join in the fun.

Seeing that Zhou Mingyuan remembered, the young man immediately said respectfully, "Indeed, the senior once instructed me in swordsmanship, from which I have benefited ever since..."

Are you from Shennong Sect? Or someone I know?
This is a bit tricky. We were originally planning to snatch it, but now that we've established a connection, how can we snatch it?
Chen Yang shook his head inwardly and used the system to check the information of the person in front of him.

-

Name: Lu Xiong Ying.

Physical strength: 23256.

Mental power: 23580.

Divine thought: 25560.

-

At the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, this value is considered average, without any particularly outstanding features or weaknesses.

If it weren't for Zhou Mingyuan's connection, robbing him would be a piece of cake.

"People from the Shennong Sect? That can't be right."

At this moment, Huanglong Daoist started acting strangely. He looked at the young man in front of him who claimed to be a disciple of Shennong Sect with suspicion, and stroked his beard. "The Shennong Sect I know are all disciples of farmers. They have to do manual labor all year round. They all have rough hands and feet, and their skin is tanned like charcoal. You have such delicate skin. How can you be a disciple of Shennong Sect?"

The young man paused for a moment upon hearing this, his expression turning slightly unpleasant, but he quickly regained his composure and cupped his hands in greeting to Huanglong Daoist, "May I ask how this senior is addressed?"

There's a rule in Panshan: it's better to mess with the young than the old; the older they are and the longer their beards, the less you should mess with them.

This young man was indeed cautious. Huang Long was able to stand with Zhou Mingyuan, and his aura was unfathomable; he was clearly someone not to be trifled with.

"Heavenly Dao Sect, Yellow Dragon."

Huanglong Daoist uttered a few words indifferently.

"So it was Senior Huanglong."

The young man bowed respectfully, making sure to observe proper etiquette regardless of whether he knew the person or not. "Senior, you may not know this, but our Shennong Sect is divided into two factions: the Agriculture faction and the Medicine faction. Disciples of the Agriculture faction are required to engage in production, but disciples of our Medicine faction are not..."

Senior Zhou has already acknowledged my identity, so what are you, senior, questioning me about?

Huang Long looked slightly embarrassed, as if this was an admission of his ignorance.

"What did you get from it?"

Huanglong stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table: if you won't take it, I will.

The young man paused upon hearing this, "Senior..."

He took a half step back, clearly wary of Huang Long, who was obviously hostile towards him.

Huang Long said, "Young man, since you are a disciple of the Shennong Sect, didn't your elders tell you that you should never take treasures that belong to someone else, and that stealing someone else's opportunity is like killing their parents?"

The young man looked bewildered. "What do you mean, senior? I don't quite understand!"

"Heh, you don't understand?"

Huang Long chuckled, "We risked everything and worked hard to open the outer gate to get in here. You just do nothing and follow behind us to reap the benefits. Is that how you do things?"

At first, Chen Yang thought that opportunities depended on one's own abilities, and since this person had a past with Zhou Mingyuan but wasn't very strong, it seemed a bit like bullying him to take his things.

But after hearing what Huang Long said, he felt that it made a lot of sense.

They went through so much trouble and took such great risks, almost getting killed by that mantis shrimp, and finally managed to get in here. Why should you do nothing and let them get away with it for free?

Upon hearing this, the young man blushed slightly and said, "Senior is too kind. I simply saw the door was open and came in. As for any opportunity, let alone the fact that I didn't receive any, even if I did, opportunities are something that only those with the right fate can discover, and it all depends on one's own abilities..."

"stop!"

Huang Long interrupted him directly, "Chen Yang, what do you have to say?"

The question was thrown directly to Chen Yang: the opportunity was yours, but you didn't go for it yourself, so there's no reason for an old man like me to stand up for you.

The young man looked at Chen Yang and frowned slightly. He had noticed Chen Yang earlier and assumed he was one of Zhou Mingyuan's juniors when he saw him standing with Zhou Mingyuan.

He didn't feel any danger from Chen Yang, and he looked even younger than himself. Even if he was strong, he shouldn't be able to compare to him, who had the backing of a sect and had a lot of resources to nurture him.

He scrutinized Chen Yang, trying to discern Chen Yang's level of cultivation.

How do I say?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang calmly replied, "Since you know Elder Zhou, let's leave this opportunity behind and not pursue the rest!"

You know Zhou Mingyuan, but you don't know me. You don't put in any effort when it comes to work, but you show up when it's time to share the profits. How can you expect to get away with something like that?

If Zhou Mingyuan had spoken up, Chen Yang could have easily overlooked the small amount out of respect for Zhou Mingyuan. However, since Zhou Mingyuan hadn't made any statement, it would have made Chen Yang seem like a very kind person if he hadn't minded.

Moreover, he didn't have a good impression of Shennong Sect, and the timing of this person's appearance was too coincidental. Chen Yang even suspected that this Lu Xiong Ying had come with Wang Youzhi and the other two.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Lu Xiong Ying immediately became agitated.

He said to Chen Yang, "With Senior Zhou here, my friend, according to the rules of the martial world, opportunities are bestowed by fate, and everyone relies on their own abilities. Even if you opened the cave, it doesn't mean that everything inside belongs to you..."

You earned it through your own abilities, why should I give it to you? Do you think I, a disciple of the Shennong Sect, would be fooled by you?
They even said they'd leave a chance for us to have something, and wouldn't pursue the rest. What do they mean? If I don't hand over the item, are you going to kill me?

In his words, Lu Xiong Ying directly brought up Zhou Ming Yuan. Others may not know how strong Shennong Sect is, but does Zhou Ming Yuan not know? Would he let you run rampant?
Lu Xiong Ying looked at Zhou Mingyuan and said, "Please, Senior Zhou, say something fair..."

A dark line appeared on Zhou Mingyuan's forehead.

At first glance, Lu Xiong Ying's words seem reasonable, but it is true that we put in a lot of effort and you were hiding behind to take advantage of the situation. If we hadn't managed to stop you, that would have been fine, but you were the one who got stopped.

Zhou Mingyuan was an elder, so naturally he couldn't let a junior hold such a grudge. If Chen Yang wanted to argue with this person, he couldn't stop him. He had no reason to advise Chen Yang to be magnanimous.

Moreover, he had only met Lu Xiong Ying once.

Lu Xiong Ying threw the problem at him simply to get him to take charge of the younger generation, assuming that Chen Yang was Zhou Ming Yuan's junior.

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head and said to Lu Xiong Ying, "In this matter, you are both in the right and in the wrong. To be fair, without someone opening the door, you wouldn't have been able to get in at all. However, as you said, fate decides, and it all depends on one's own abilities..."

Lu Xiong Ying was a little annoyed when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the second half, she felt that things had taken a turn for the better.

"Since it's all about skill, and luck only brings temporary gains, you have to be able to take it out of the house for it to truly be yours. We older folks shouldn't interfere; you young people should handle this yourselves..."

Zhou Mingyuan's words were light and casual.

A glint flashed in Lu Xiong Ying's eyes as she looked at Chen Yang. With her own abilities, she dared to fight even those in the late stage of the Creation Realm. This kid was even younger than her. Could he possibly be stronger than the Dao True Realm?
As expected, Senior Zhou still favored me. How could anyone disregard the prestige of my Shennong Sect?
