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

Chapter 961 Deceiving Danyangzi and Killing the Giant Wolf King!
certificate?

What proof could Chen Yang have for the identity he fraudulently obtained?
Down the hillside, the old man stared intently at the red bone-eating beetle behind the swarm of insects.

He couldn't say he believed this explanation.

He did know Du Fengchun, but that was all; the two didn't have much interaction.

After all, 125 years ago, Danyangzi was already the master of a temple, while Du Fengchun was just a junior disciple of Chongtian Temple back then, and had not yet shown his talent.

If it weren't for the mischief caused by that spirit rat at Chongtian Temple, which implicated Du Fengchun, Danyangzi, given his status, would never have had any interaction with Du Fengchun.

What puzzled the old man was the strength of the person behind this insect.

Judging by this ability to control insects alone, this person's skills are definitely not bad. Could such a person be Du Fengchun's grandson?

The next second, the old man felt a sudden burst of sword intent emanating from the bone-eating beetle.

"Keng..."

A phantom of sword energy appeared out of thin air in front of the Bone-Eating Beetle, its tip pointing diagonally at the old man, the blade slowly rotating, poised to strike.

"Heaven-Reaching Sword Intent?"

Upon seeing this, the old man's pupils contracted slightly.

The next second, the sword energy dissipated and disappeared.

The unique sword technique of Chongtian Temple: the Chongtian Sword Technique.

With the old man's keen eyesight, it was not difficult for him to tell the difference.

Chen Yang said, "Chongtian Temple has become history. The only one who inherited this sword technique is my grandfather. Isn't that enough to prove my identity?"

The old man paused.

That is indeed quite convincing.

But the old man remained unmoved, saying, "Since you are a descendant of an old friend, why hide? Why not come out and meet me?"

"Please forgive me, senior. It's not that I want to hide, but you are too powerful. I dare not show myself until I have confirmed your identity."

"Ah."

The old man chuckled softly, "Did you take that thing from the bottom of the pool?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Chen Yang answered frankly, "But don't worry, senior. As long as your identity is proven, I will naturally return what you asked for."

The old man's eyes flashed as he stared intently at the bone-eating beetle. "What did you mean by asking me about Yang Wudi?"

"No rush, prove your identity first!"

"Humph!"

The old man gave a soft snort, raised his right hand, and twirled the jade thumb ring on his thumb. "This is the symbol of the Chunyang Sect's leader, the Chunyang thumb ring. It is sufficient proof of my identity..."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Chen Yang didn't recognize the Pure Yang thumb ring, but seeing how confident the old man was, his identity was probably genuine.

This old man is probably really Danyangzi.

A slight ripple stirred within me.

This person is indeed ruthless; he was able to endure loneliness and stay in this secret realm for over a hundred years.

That's over a hundred years, not just a hundred days.

Chen Yang was filled with countless questions. Why was Dan Yangzi, who was supposed to be the abbot, hiding in this secret realm?
Cultivation? Treasure hunting? Or something else?
At this moment, Chen Yang could not know the motives behind this person's stay, but he was certain that this person was connected with the Pingtian Sect.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Yang came to his senses and immediately said, "Please forgive my previous offense, senior. I have a special mission to perform here, so I have to be careful."

"Oh?"

Danyangzi's primordial spirit continued to scan the surroundings, still determined to find Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said, "So that you may know, senior, that my grandfather has joined the Pingtian Sect. I am here on the orders of Elder Yang of the Pingtian Sect to do three things, one of which is to find Senior Danyangzi..."

He made things up off the cuff, yet it all seemed to be based on some kind of logic or evidence.

Upon hearing this, Danyangzi found it hard not to believe it.

Based on the information obtained from the waterweed, Danyangzi and Yang Wudi definitely have some kind of relationship, and he might even have some connection with the Pingtian Sect.

At this point, Chen Yang should be able to gain some of Yang Wudi's trust by using the name of Pingtian Sect and Yang Wudi.

At least he couldn't find any evidence to question Chen Yang's identity.

Chen Yang is now gambling, betting that this person has connections with the Peace Heaven Sect.

Danyangzi has been stuck in the secret realm for over a hundred years. Even with his extraordinary abilities, it's impossible for him to know what's going on outside.

Chen Yang could name Yang Wudi, knew about the Pingtian Sect, claimed to be a descendant of Du Fengchun, and could even unleash the Tongtian Sword Intent of the Chongtian Temple…

Every single thing confirms his identity.

Of course, Danyangzi was not the kind of person who could be easily trusted.

He thought about it carefully.

The gate to the secret realm must have just opened today. It's only the first day, yet this person has already managed to find the mountain stream and even swept away the things in the pool.

How could an ordinary person possibly discover what's at the bottom of the pool?
This person clearly had a purpose, heading straight for that yin and evil place; he already knew the location and situation of the mountain stream.

The Yin Sha place in the mountain stream was discovered by him and Yang Wudi back then. If this person was really sent in by Yang Wudi, then everything can be explained.

Thinking about this, he believed Chen Yang's identity to some extent, but he did not let his guard down.

"Show yourself, let's have a chat!" Danyangzi said to the red bone-eating beetle.

The next second, the swarm of bone-eating beetles hovering in the air quickly parted to the side, fully revealing the red bone-eating beetle.

"Senior, come with it..."

The red bone-eating beetle turned around and led the swarm of insects down the slope into the depths of the forest.

A hint of doubt flashed in Danyangzi's eyes, but he didn't say anything more. He flicked his whisk and followed after them.

……

In the woods.

"What tasks did the people surnamed Yang give you?"

Danyangzi moved with a speed of ten feet per step, as if shrinking the land to form a village. His gait was graceful, yet not slow at all.

"Although you possess the Pure Yang Ring, murder and robbery are common occurrences in this secret realm. The ring is insufficient to prove your identity. Of course, I know you likely have doubts about me as well..."

The bone-eating beetle flew slowly through the air, and Chen Yang also spoke slowly.

Danyangzi's face was gloomy.

Chen Yang then changed the subject, "Actually, it wouldn't hurt to tell you, senior. Elder Yang had us sneak in for three things: first, to deliver the spirit eggs of the Hell Worms to the mountain stream pool to hatch; second, to find a scripture called the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture'; and third, Elder Yang said that the sect is in dire need of manpower, and he asked us to find Senior Danyangzi after we entered. He didn't say why, only that once we found him, he would naturally understand..."

Upon hearing this, Danyangzi's expression shifted between light and dark.

Of what Chen Yang said, the last point was somewhat vague, while the first two points were kept secret.

Before Danyangzi could ask, Chen Yang spoke first, "Senior has been in the secret manual for so many years, I wonder if you have found the whereabouts of the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture,' or perhaps, you have already obtained it..."

……

-

on the hill.

Seeing that Danyangzi had been lured away by the bone-eating beetle, Chen Yang finally came out from behind the rock.

He looked in the direction Danyangzi had left.

Although they didn't face each other directly, Chen Yang could sense that this old man was terrifying, definitely at the late stage of the Dao True Realm, and probably even a very late stage one.

In a direct confrontation, he has absolutely no chance of winning.

We can only outsmart them.

Using the identity of the Pingtian Sect might fool the old man for a while, but it won't fool him forever.

While he's temporarily intimidated, I must do something to increase my chances of winning.

Dual-purpose.

While communicating with Danyangzi through the Mountain Demon Seal, trying to stall him for some time, Chen Yang also fully activated the Moon Shadow Technique, hiding in the darkness and heading towards the cave.

Before Danyangzi could react, he had to get rid of the giant wolf first.

A giant wolf at the late stage of the Dao True Realm would indeed be a challenge for Chen Yang, but it was still much easier to deal with than a human cultivator at the late stage of the Dao True Realm.

If I don't take care of this giant wolf, then when the man and the wolf team up, I'll have no chance of surviving.

……

-

In front of the cave.

When the giant wolf returned, the dozen or so gray wolves had almost been devoured by the swarm of bone-eating beetles.

Enraged, the giant wolf unleashed its primordial spirit to crush and retaliate against the bone-eating beetle swarm.

However, the swarm of insects was simply too numerous, numbering in the thousands, scattered in clumps here and there. Although many of them had been wiped out, they showed no intention of retreating and continued to harass the area from time to time.

In the mountains and forests, the giant wolf king's angry howl never ceased. Within a radius of several miles, birds flew and beasts roamed. Under its terrifying pressure, not even an insect dared to make a sound.

More than a hundred meters away, Chen Yang was hiding in the woods, and the radar could easily scan the scene in front of him.

The giant wolf king was still entangled with the bone-eating beetle swarm.

Chen Yang had previously left over five thousand insects here, but now, there are probably only a few hundred left.

It's impossible not to feel sorry for them.

After all, these insects are very difficult to cultivate; they must have eaten countless good things to reach their current size.

Those hundreds of bone-eating beetles continued their fearless charge towards the giant wolf king.

Each charge left behind a large number of corpses, a truly tragic sight.

Chen Yang opened the insect seed bag.

Immediately, thousands more bone-eating beetles flew out like a swarm of bombers, quickly surrounding the giant wolf king.

Once replenished, the swarm of insects immediately became powerful again.

Although intimidated by the immense power of the giant wolf king's spirit, they dared not get too close, but they also refused to disperse and continued to harass him frequently.

"Ouch."

At this moment, the sudden increase in the number of insect swarms, and their reckless attacks, made the Giant Wolf King realize that something was wrong.

But it was harassed by the swarm of insects and had no choice but to angrily unleash its spiritual energy and sonic attacks.

For a moment, he was exhausted and looked disheveled.

While the swarm of insects held it back, Chen Yang had completely concealed his aura and approached within fifty meters of the giant wolf king.

This distance is enough.

If they got any closer, they might get accidentally injured. Chen Yang took out five prayer beads and summoned five bone-eating beetles.

The five bone-eating beetles each picked up one of the five prayer beads.

Five unmanned bombers have been completed.

"on!"

Seeing the Giant Wolf King unleash its primordial spirit attack once again, sweeping away a large swarm of insects, Chen Yang seized the opportunity and immediately issued an attack order.

Under the cover of the swarm of insects, the five bone-eating beetles quickly approached the giant wolf king.

The giant wolf king had just let out a long howl and was gathering its strength when it suddenly sensed danger.

Instinctively, a burst of primordial spirit sword energy slashed backward.

"boom!"

A rosary held by a bone-eating beetle suddenly exploded.

A burst of primordial spirit sword energy was instantly released from the prayer beads and slashed towards the giant wolf king.

The prayer beads were a gift from my uncle, Huang Daolin, before I came here.

Each rosary bead contains the combined power of Xuanjing, Xuanqing, and Huang Daolin.

With the combined cultivation levels of these three, a single strike would be enough to injure even a late-stage Dao True Realm cultivator.

The giant wolf king's attack was hasty and casual, and its primordial spirit sword energy was almost instantly destroyed.

The remaining power of the rosary sword energy was not much, but it still struck the giant wolf king.

The sword energy struck the giant wolf king's forehead, but the protective true energy on the wolf king's body blocked the sword light. The powerful impact made it stagger and feel dizzy.

Sneak attack!

A pure sneak attack!
I was so busy dealing with those annoying bugs that I didn't even notice the attacker hiding so close to me.

The power of this strike was extraordinary.

The giant wolf king broke out in a cold sweat.

"boom……"

"boom……"

"boom……"

……

Before it could even regain its footing, several more explosions followed.

The remaining four bone-eating beetles pressed forward to their limit and suddenly detonated the prayer beads.

Several beams of primordial spirit sword light suddenly burst forth.

The giant wolf king had no time to dodge; its protective aura was instantly shattered, and a powerful sword light struck its body.

"boom!"

Blood splattered as the giant wolf king was suddenly blasted away.

With a loud thud, it landed deep in the forest.

The fall caused the earth to shake violently.

Even though he was a powerful expert in the late stage of the Dao Realm, being hit by four prayer beads at close range would definitely be a serious problem for him.

"Roar!"

The giant wolf king let out a painful howl.

It must be said that this guy's physical body is incredibly strong.

His body was covered in bloody wounds, exposing his internal organs, but he did not die from such a terrifying impact.

It suddenly stood up from the ground, covered in blood, and looked ten times more ferocious than before.

"Roar!"

The pain stimulated its brain, leaving it with no choice but to vent its anger through roars.

He actually managed to get injured, and seriously so.

Unforgivable!

Pain, rage, and the wolf king was consumed by fury, having completely lost his mind.

"Shh!"

Just as it roared angrily, trying to find the attacker, a sword light streaked across the night sky like a shooting star.

Gone in a flash.

The giant wolf king felt a chill run down his neck.

The next second, all the anger subsided, and the howling stopped abruptly.

Dragon Fang Sword!
Almost immediately after the rosary exploded and the giant wolf king stood up, Chen Yang unhesitatingly unleashed the Dragon Fang.

Where the cold light passed, everything was annihilated.

With the giant wolf's strength, even if it were to launch a sneak attack at its peak, Dragon Fang might not be able to kill it. But unfortunately, Chen Yang launched the sneak attack when the wolf was injured by the prayer beads and had no time to react.

The entire process was efficient and without any delays.

The dragon's fang cleaved through the air, and the primordial spirit vanished.

The giant wolf king's blood-red eyes were filled with disbelief.

Pain, anger, resentment...

His pupils dilated, his primordial spirit was annihilated, and his consciousness rapidly plummeted into the abyss, surrounded by boundless darkness.

Chen Yang was still afraid that it wouldn't die, so he immediately summoned the Crimson Sky Sword.

The sword light flew out and once again slashed across the giant wolf king's neck.

"Shh!"

Blood splattered, and the enormous wolf head fell to the ground.

dead!
Before the wolf's head even hit the ground, Chen Yang waved his sleeve and directly stored its corpse in the system's warehouse.

"Ding, mission complete. Hunted SS-level spirit beast [Azure Wolf King]*1. Rewards: [Super Animal Growth Essence]*5, experience points +100000."

……

perfect!

At that moment, Chen Yang's nerves were on edge.

The swarm of insects swept away the giant wolf's bloodstains and the corpses of insects scattered on the ground like a whirlwind.

Then, without pausing at all, Chen Yang flew directly towards the distant mountains.

……

More than ten miles to the north, on a mountaintop.

The red-armored bone-eating beetle continued to lead the way, and Chen Yang chatted casually with Dan Yangzi.

He tried to subtly probe Danyangzi, hoping to extract some useful information from him.

However, the old man's mouth was very tight.

Danyangzi kept his mouth shut about everything, including his relationship with the Pingtian Sect, the 315 Tooth Sutra, and the information about the Heavenly Realm cave mentioned by Shui Mianzao.

It was clear that the old man did not completely believe Chen Yang's previous statement and was very cautious.

Where are you taking me?

Danyangzi suddenly stopped and stared intently at the red-armored bone-eating beetle in front of him.

The other party's hiding place wouldn't be too far from him, but this red-armored bone-eating beetle had led him for so long, which made him suspicious of what the other party possessed.

Is this person genuinely trying to meet me? Or is they playing some kind of trick?

"Please come up, senior. I'll be waiting for you at the top of the mountain."

A spiritual fluctuation emanated from the body of the red-armored bone-eating beetle.

Upon hearing this, Danyangzi looked up at the mountaintop.

The mountain isn't high; he's only about two hundred meters from the summit.

The primordial energy swept across the mountaintop in an instant, but the summit was empty; nothing was found.

This person's concealment methods are indeed amazing. Danyangzi frowned slightly, but still quickly ran towards the top of the mountain.

A moment later, he reached the top of the mountain.

The mountaintop was bare, with only a crescent-shaped clearing and a rock standing on it; everything else was clearly visible.

He circled the rock, but didn't see a single soul.

"Young man, where are you? Come out!"

Danyangzi suppressed his anger and gave a cold shout.

"Ouch..."

Just then, a mournful roar came from the distant mountains and forests.

The sound was extremely penetrating, cutting through the night sky and quickly reaching Danyangzi's ears.

This is the roar of the Wolf King!
Danyangzi's expression changed drastically.

Although he was far away, he could hear it very clearly.

Anger, despair.

The roaring stopped abruptly, and the forest returned to silence.

"Fellow?"

Danyangzi's heart skipped a beat.

Looking back, the hilltop was empty. Even the red-armored bone-eating beetle had quietly retreated while he was distracted by the howl of the Azure Wolf King.

The mountain wind blows, and there is only that one rock on the mountaintop, which inexplicably gives people a sense of mockery and irony.

"You brat, you deserve to die!"

At this moment, Danyangzi was still fully aware that he had been tricked, and he struck out with his palm in mid-air.

"boom!"

The rock on the mountaintop suddenly exploded.

Wow!
Gravel flew everywhere.

Danyangzi snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and a sword light appeared beneath his feet. He soared into the air and, without pausing, flew towards the direction where the Azure Wolf King roared.
