From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 153 The Fall of the True Lord
Xue Chen?

The name echoed in Shen Lingfeng's mind, and memories of more than a year ago surged in his mind. He didn't dare to look at Chen Xuan's handsome face again and quickly lowered his head.

90% like...

Do not!
Apart from being a bit more mature and steady than a year ago, what's the difference between this Xue Chen and Chen Xuan?!

This person is obviously Chen Xuan!
Shen Lingfeng became more and more certain of his guess. Although he had only met her once in the Southern Wasteland Mountains, he was deeply impressed by her because he thought about her face day and night and had no peace at night!
"I didn't accept the gift from the Willow Dragon of the Peach Blossom Spring, and I didn't join in the excitement of Shangyang Cave Heaven, just to avoid him."

Later, Chen Xuan became famous in the Southern Wilderness, snatched the Human Emperor Banner, and killed several aristocratic families in Chu, almost causing them to be wiped out. When the news came out, Shen Lingfeng felt deeply uneasy.

He thought Qinglu Mountain was too close to the Southern Wilderness and was no longer safe, so he bid farewell to his teachers and fled overnight, traveling alone for more than 10,000 miles to Luoyue City.

"He has no reason to know a small fry like me... I, Shen Lingfeng, have never harmed him, and I have never done anything bad. I shed blood and tears for the State of Chu, so that he wouldn't be so unlucky."

Shen Lingfeng thought that when the disciples of Qinglu Mountain wanted to go into the mountain to murder the young Chen Xuan who was in the Yuhua realm, he had tried every means to stop them.

Wang Chan in the Huangliang Dream said that he died at the hands of Chen Xuan, but he clearly succeeded in changing his fate!

"..."

Chen Xuan was talking to Lieutenant General Xu when he suddenly felt something and glanced at Shen Lingfeng in the corner.

"!!!"

Seeing this, Shen Lingfeng's heart jumped into his throat. He raised his face and tried hard to force a kind smile.

"He's looking at me."

"Why is he looking at me!?"

"He recognized me, he must have recognized me!"

Shen Lingfeng's face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.

"The Heavenly Evolution Qi moved..."

Chen Xuan stared at Shen Lingfeng, frowning slightly, thinking: "Why is this person so nervous? Eh? This face looks familiar. I've seen it before..."

Just now, Shen Lingfeng was thinking about Chen Xuan.

The Tianyan Qi recorded in the "Tianyan Sutra" in Chen Xuan's body automatically evolved and trembled.

Followed by.

There was a "buzz" sound.

A picture deduced from Tian Yan Qi appeared before Chen Xuan's eyes.

There were mountain fishes darting through the forests, green elks running wildly, and on the mountain road, Chen Xuan turned his head to the side and made eye contact with the fleeing Green Deer Mountain Knight.

The scene is frozen.

Shen Lingfeng's face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes became clear.

"Oh, one of Junior Brother Wang Chan's brothers, Shen something... Shen Lingfeng."

Chen Xuan recalled a memory in the corner of his mind.

If the Tianyan Qi had not been activated today, it would have been an insignificant experience that I would never have remembered in my life.

Chen Xuan had a blank expression on his face. He nodded to Shen Lingfeng, then turned around and continued talking to Deputy General Xu:
"Could you tell me where the market between the two worlds was once held?"

No more action.

After all, he's just a passerby.

"He didn't recognize me? Or did he not know me at all? We just met on the street, and he didn't even remember me!"

"He and I have never met in this life..."

"No, Chen Xuan is a murderer. If he meets anyone from Qinglu Mountain, he will kill them all. Ha, this man is not Chen Xuan, he just looks like him. He is Xue Chen!"

Shen Lingfeng thought so in his heart, feeling relieved. Then, his legs and feet went limp, he lost all his strength and knelt directly on the ground.

Everyone's eyes converged in confusion.

Chen Xuan looked at Shen Lingfeng again and thought to himself, "The people of Qinglu Mountain are all very strange."

Qinglu Mountain is a powerful local force, with at least 800 disciples, if not a thousand. Not all of them are bad people, so he won't kill everyone he sees. Of course, if he meets someone doing evil, he will just kill him.

As for Qingyazi, we’ll talk about it later.

Shen Lingfeng immediately got up, hurriedly brushed the dust off his knees, his face flushed, and explained: "It's okay, it's okay, I have an old leg injury, don't look at it..."

So, people stopped paying attention to him.

Vice President Xu continued to answer Chen Xuan's question and said:

"The Two Worlds Market is a temporary establishment held by traveling merchants holding spatial treasures. It usually has no fixed location."

He told Chen Xuan that the itinerant merchants were engaging in speculation and seeking the interests of the monks of the two countries at risk. Wherever the battle line between Chu and Zhi was, the markets of the two worlds would move there.

Chen Xuan asked, "According to General Xu, where will the next Two Worlds Market be?"

Vice Admiral Xu replied, "Nine out of ten times, the Two Worlds Market will appear near Luoyue City."

The two ancient countries of Zhi and Yu joined forces to attack Chu, continuously encroaching on its land. Chu was defeated step by step and its territory was almost reduced.

But beyond Luoyue City lies the real inland area of Chu State.

The State of Chu had no place to retreat.

There will definitely be more fighting in this place. This group of monks from the Demon Suppression Division all think so... and are working towards this goal.

Chen Xuan pondered and asked, "How many Dinglu masters have come from Luoyue City...Zhi Country?"

Lieutenant General Xu replied, "Originally, there were only two of us, so Luoyue City could still hold out. But recently, two more arrived, and Luoyue City fell."

Fire Virtue monks excel at refining treasures and have high combat power. They are capable of relying on a large number of Daozang monks to kill a Dinglu master. Together with the former Lord of Falling Moon City, they can barely hold the city.

But a few days ago, two new Dinglu masters came to Zhi Country, doubling their numbers. Luoyue City was immediately unable to resist and the city was breached in half a day.

"It was tragic! All the local orthodox Fire Virtue monks in Luoyue City were almost wiped out in one great battle..."

Deputy General Xu had a sad face. These monks from the Demon Suppression Division who came to help from other places were still able to retreat.

But those local monks, the families they have struggled for most of their lives or inherited... are all in the city, where can they escape to?

"They are all heroes."

Chen Xuan nodded with emotion, then asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't the Jiang family have moved their descendants to the inland cities in advance?"

"Each of their families selected one or two descendants with the talent for practicing Qi to inherit the family business, and led their relatives and the mortals in the territory of Luoyue City to move to the safe city inside." Deputy General Xu explained that the battlefield in Luoyue City had been stalemate for more than half a year, and there was time to arrange the aftermath, so some things were done one after another.

"In the final analysis, this matter is all thanks to the blessing of the 'Saint Son of the Southern Wasteland'. If it weren't for the Southern Wasteland's interference and influence on the situation, these mortals would not have been able to escape."

Daoist monks can make rapid progress and capture a city in just a few days.

At the speed at which ordinary people travel, there is no chance of escape and they can only accept the fate of being stranded in a foreign country.

"Not only Luoyue City, but also tens of millions of mortals in other cities near the border have had the opportunity to escape because of 'Chen Xuan'."

But then he immediately added a sentence to clarify his position:
"Fellow Daoist Xue, I'm not saying this to praise Chen Xuan, who sold himself to the Southern Wilds. He's an unparalleled demon. If we and the Demon Suppression Division encounter him, we'll definitely chop off his head."

He is a monk from the Demon Suppression Division and cannot speak well of the Southern Wilderness in front of outsiders.

"..."

Chen Xuan touched his neck and nodded, "Yes, such evil people are unforgivable."

His reputation, due to fate, is all bad, and it will never get better...

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Xu's face looked a little strange, and he muttered, "Actually, there's no need to be so hostile. After all, we're all Chu people. Alas, he's a man of destiny with a miserable fate. The Southern Wilds are taking care of him now, but in the future, all this will be repaid tenfold, even a hundredfold. He won't end well."

As he spoke, he sighed, "Last year, Princess Jiang Jiu personally tried to recruit him, but it didn't work out. It must have been because the Southern Wasteland ghosts schemed to obstruct him."

But according to gossip, Chen Xuan later rescued Princess Jiang Jiu, and thus became enemies with the dragons of the Rain Kingdom... That's why the Southern Wilderness later invaded the Rain Kingdom.

After all, the State of Chu did benefit from Chen Xuan's help.

But since these matters concerned the princess, Lieutenant General Xu could not casually tell anyone about them.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he remembered Jiang Qinghuang.

The Chu Kingdom's Fire Virtue's "Phoenix Scripture," created by ancient sages, is as renowned as the Rain Kingdom's Xiaolei's "Yinglong Scripture." Both are firmly ranked in the top ten, or even the top three, ancient scriptures in their respective fields.

"The power of Phoenix's Nirvana."

"The Secret of the Five-Treasured Military Immortal Body contains incompatible methods for dealing with the Mountain and Sea Ancient Beast Scriptures..."

Chen Xuan thought to himself that the Heavenly Mandate Sutra focused on visions, while the Mountain and Sea Sutra focused on form.

In fact, if he had not broken through the limit in the Yuhua realm and his body strength had not increased greatly, otherwise, relying solely on the strength of his physical body, he would have found it difficult to gain the upper hand against other Taoist monks.

Afterwards, Chen Xuan continued to ask Deputy General Xu about the major events that had occurred recently in Chu and the southern wilderness.

He has been in seclusion for too long.

Deputy General Xu answered them one by one, and finally, he sincerely invited again:

"Fellow Daoist Xue, are you really not considering joining the Demon Suppression Division? Even a temporary position is fine! If you make great contributions in the war, the Jiang family will not hesitate to reward you. Noble Phantasms, scriptures, status, everything you need."

He told Chen Xuan that if he could kill an enemy of Liu Qi's level on the battlefield, in addition to the spiritual essence and spoils for his own use, the Jiang family would also reward him with at least one top-grade treasure!
A cultivator like Shen Lingfeng, whose background is not clean, is a temporary worker of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Can you also obtain the complete version of the Phoenix Scripture? Are you willing to give me the peerless treasure as well?"

"There is indeed a reward of this level, but..."

Deputy General Xu paused before continuing, "But to receive a treasure of this caliber, I'm afraid you'd have to achieve the incredible feat of killing a powerful enemy cauldron master."

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Thinking about it this way, becoming a temporary worker in the Demon Suppression Bureau is a good choice. The future is bright, and you can choose to leave at any time.

He thought about it for a moment and stopped thinking about it.

Vice Admiral Xu continued to persuade him a few more times, but seeing that Chen Xuan had no intention of joining the Demon Suppression Bureau, he stopped talking.

The group left quickly and disappeared.

"Deputy General Xu, the State of Chu is in danger, facing a critical moment of survival. We are all human beings, but this man is indifferent. He is truly cold-blooded and heartless." Someone spat and cursed on the road.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, there's no need to force them..."

"This person appears here now, he must want to gain some benefits, maybe he is a devil, secretly plotting to kill the lone Taoist." Someone made a reasonable guess.

"This Fellow Daoist Xue doesn't look like a devil who does all kinds of evil. There's no need to gossip about him behind his back."

Lieutenant General Xu sighed and spoke. Soon, the communication talisman on his body lit up, and a message came from a distant colleague who had been separated from him, calling him.

Shen Lingfeng glanced behind him, and then followed the quickened pace of the others.

The sky is high and the earth is vast, the war is ongoing, and no one knows where the fate of these people with heroic hearts will go.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan sat in the tea shop, fiddling with a set of exquisite white porcelain tea sets. He had exchanged them from the mushroom spirit of Zhiguo at the last ghost market. While waiting, he used them a few times and found that he was not proficient in tea making.

"This group of people are going to do something big."

He sighed slightly, and soon, Lieutenant General Xu and others disappeared from the perception range.

The soul and body entered the Tianyan Dao space, and after taking a large amount of [Wangchuan Water] which has a similar effect to [Confusing Heart Pear], the range of the soul's perception now covers an area of ten miles.

When Chen Xuan heard these people talking about him behind his back, it didn't cause much ripple in his heart.

Subsequently.

He put away the tea set and sat alone under the shop curtain, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, all covered in gray.

"It is going to rain."

Chen Xuan thought to himself, quietly waiting for something big to happen.

The white dragon soul mark on the wrist left by Long Ziyue had faded away and was no longer visible after more than half a year.

"hold head high!"

But at this moment, a sad dragon roar was sounding silently.

Chen Xuan felt a faint sadness from it, and then this sadness turned into an excitement that was suppressed to the extreme and suddenly burst out.

The remaining traces of Long Ziyue were excited.

"Crash!"

In the sky, drops of black rain were falling. Not long after, a sudden black rain of ink submerged everything in sight.

Chen Xuan then knew.

"Master Fu Long has fallen..."
