Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 449 We beg Senior Xiao to uphold justice for us!

Chapter 449 We beg Senior Xiao to uphold justice for us!
I have to say, this sword pellet is quite a good thing.

Although Xiao Chen might not need the sword pellet's help when facing other Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

However, if one happens to encounter an unfriendly Nascent Soul cultivator, it can be used to buy time for the activation of the Black Abyss Blood Escape Talisman.

The key is that this thing represents real lethality; holding it in your hand gives you the confidence to roam the world.

Even if it were any other cultivator, this would be a devastating move that would allow him to stand tall and proud.

After all, the situation in the entire Eastern Region is that Nascent Soul cultivators are hidden and do not show themselves. With this sword pellet, which is equivalent to a Nascent Soul strike, they can almost run rampant.

"Speaking of which, this sword pellet can be considered a fifth-tier spiritual item."

Xiao Chen took out a Spirit-Nourishing Treasure Box and put it away: "Although there aren't many things left in the warehouse, they can all be called exquisite items."

"I wonder what the last surprise the Black Iron Venerable left behind was?"

Although there were still two platforms he hadn't checked, he already knew through Hextech that there must be a high-level spiritual item inside.

He walked slowly to the fifth platform and waited for the outer spiritual energy barrier to disappear on its own.

Xiao Chen looked over with a hint of anticipation and saw a Spirit-Nourishing Treasure Box on the stage.

He raised an eyebrow and picked it up: "They actually put the breakthrough spiritual item at the very end. That's quite the sorting style of a rogue cultivator."

For independent cultivators, anything that can help them break through to a higher level is more important than anything else.

Although some people believe that living is everything, and everything is for the sake of living.

However, a harsh reality is that if a rogue cultivator doesn't take risks and risk their life, the chances of successfully breaking through major bottlenecks in the future are almost zero.

Once the optimal time for a breakthrough has passed, the best outcome will likely be death from old age.

Some people, after their vital energy and blood decline, often become easy prey in the eyes of others, and are devoured by those with wicked intentions.

However, Xiao Chen doesn't need to worry about these things.

He opened the Spirit-Nourishing Treasure Box in his hand, and saw that the inside of the box was lined with a thick layer of bright yellow brocade.

At the very center of the brocade was a transparent crystal the size of a pigeon's egg.

"Huh? There's no spiritual energy reaction?"

Xiao Chen immediately sensed something was wrong and was quite surprised.

Once one reaches the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm, one's sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes quite acute.

Especially when the distance is less than a foot, any slight flow of spiritual energy will be detected in time.

However, the strangest thing is that the crystal inside the box, which is as clean as new, remains quiet and does not interact with the surrounding spiritual energy in the slightest.

It itself does not seem to carry any spiritual power, just like an ordinary, plain-colored crystal.

But the problem is, since it appeared on the square platform and was specially placed in a treasure box, how could it possibly be an ordinary crystal?

Xiao Chen pinched it between his thumb and forefinger and brought it close to his eyes for a closer look.

But I still can't feel what's so special about it.

However, when he tried to use his divine sense to investigate, he found that his hands were empty.

Indeed, when Xiao Chen checked with his divine sense, he found that his hands were empty.

Even with the slightest pressure from his fingertips, he could feel the hardness transmitted back from the crystal.

However, when the divine sense swept over it, nothing could be seen.

After ruling out the possibility that I might have encountered an illusion, it can only mean that this thing is anything but simple, to the point that it inherently possesses the ability to obscure one's divine sense.

This characteristic is often found in rare and precious natural treasures.

"So this must be a treasure, but no information about it has been left behind."

Neither on the platform nor inside the Spirit-Gathering Treasure Box could Xiao Chen find any corresponding written instructions.

It's unclear whether the Black Iron Venerable forgot to leave a jade slip, or whether he simply didn't know.

Well, it's most likely the former.

"Alright, let's keep it for now. We'll find out eventually."

This wasn't the first time Xiao Chen had encountered this situation; in fact, he was already somewhat used to it.

The cultivation world is so vast that the various spiritual beings that have formed are countless and immeasurable.

In addition, some spiritual objects are extremely rare, so it is perfectly normal for cultivators to encounter unfamiliar things outside.

Similar situations have not only occurred to Xiao Chen alone; even some learned and knowledgeable people would not dare to say that they can definitely recognize all things in the world.

At this time, all you need to do is stay calm.

Since we've already received the items, we can investigate their origin and purpose later.

"Next up should be the breakthrough spirit item. Let me see what kind of good thing it is!"

Xiao Chen carefully put away the mysterious crystal and went to the last square platform.

As the outer spiritual energy barrier dissipated on its own, a hexagonal flowerpot was revealed inside.

In the flowerpot, there was a slightly wilted mixed-color phoenix flower, and next to it were a pair of listless-looking green leaves.

"I never expected that this flower would be the one left in the end."

Xiao Chen immediately recalled the relevant records he had seen in Pudu Temple: "It is indeed as described in the book, with leaves like the feathers of a flying phoenix and flowers like the crown of a red phoenix."

"Moreover, each petal has three colors, ranging from dark to light, mixed together, which looks slightly eerie."

"Since several key features match, it can't be wrong."

"However, this preservation method is still a bit too simple. If I had arrived a few thousand years later, I might have lost some of the medicinal properties."

Despite the radiant glow of the flowerpot used for planting, it was clearly a custom-made fourth-tier spiritual artifact.

However, relying solely on the relatively abundant spiritual energy and a little spiritual soil within the cave is still insufficient to fully meet the survival requirements of this rare flower.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen arrived not too late, and the mixed-color phoenix flower only looked slightly wilted on the outside.

With proper care and nurturing, it will not have any negative impact.

"Qinglin Nourishing Meridian Technique!"

Xiao Chen immediately used a secret technique to condense a ball of emerald green spiritual liquid in the air.

He then manipulated the spiritual liquid to fall directly into the flowerpot, treating it as watering.

Although this is a healing technique, it is a wood-based spell, so it should be fine to use it for watering flowers.

Surprisingly, when the magical liquid fell into the flowerpot, the mixed-color phoenix flower did not actively absorb it, seemingly disapproving of his perfunctory attitude.

"Ok?"

Xiao Chen watched as the spiritual liquid transformed back into spiritual energy and dissipated into the world, and couldn't help but feel speechless: "You're being picky about watering my plants, fine, don't take it."

But even so, he couldn't really ignore it.

After all, the mixed-color phoenix flower is one of the few spiritual items with clear records that can help Nascent Soul cultivators at the Great Perfection stage increase their breakthrough rate by 20%.

Therefore, we still need to take good care of it before making a breakthrough.

"I'll go buy some real elixir later."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, it doesn't seem to be that complicated. The Yin Corpse Sect should have it."

They successfully obtained the breakthrough spiritual item and also toured the entire cave from left to right.

Next, it's about time to go to the Sea of ​​No Light.

However, to prevent any oversights or omissions, Xiao Chen walked around the entire cave after putting away the spirit flowers.

They carefully searched every room and confirmed that there were no hidden rooms or cellars.

Then they walked out along the passage again.

When Xiao Chen looked back after walking a hundred feet with the token, the passage had already closed itself without him noticing, transforming back into lifelike rocks and aquatic plants.

It seems that this place was not designed as a one-time inheritance from the beginning.

No wonder the token that served as a keepsake would pop off on its own; it must be to make it easier for me to come back next time.

To be honest, even if only the central stone tablet, the Body Tempering Hall on the right, and the stele forest at the back remain, this place is still equivalent to a secret realm.

He sighed once again at the generosity and magnanimity of the Black Iron Venerable.

Xiao Chen determined his location by observing the stars, then used his escape light to head towards the Sea of ​​No Light.

He is currently in the open sea, not far from the Sea of ​​No Light.

Therefore, it took less than two days to return to the vicinity of the Sea of ​​No Light from the north side.

However, Xiao Chen did not enter the Sea of ​​No Light directly. Instead, he deliberately went around to the east side and found the place where he had left from there.

They then reversed their route and returned to the area of ​​the Sea of ​​No Light.

"Hmph, as the saying goes, fortune's wheel turns, and I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"

Xiao Chen put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly, sweeping away the helplessness that had been accumulating in his heart when he was forced to leave his hometown years ago.

Nearly six years have passed since he left, and now that he has achieved the Nascent Soul stage, he can return to the Storm Sea openly and legitimately.

Although I have just returned, I already feel a sense of triumph.

Especially now that Xiao Chen has many more trump cards in his hands, such as the Azure Wave Bone-Penetrating Needle, which he has cultivated to the point of mastery, and the Xuanzong Evil-Suppressing Sword Pill, which he has just acquired.

With these things as his backing, he wanted to see who would dare to mess with him this time.

He was inexplicably put on a wanted list, and at the slightest disagreement, he resorted to bullying the weak.

Do you really think he, Xiao, is made of clay, and that anyone can bully him?
This time, we must make sure that the Yin Corpse Sect, the Jingkong Sea, and the other two major families know what cause and effect, what it means to be rewarded for good and punished for evil, and that retribution will come when it comes.

Xiao Chen swaggered along the route he had taken when he left, heading straight for the Yin Corpse Sect.

However, along the way, the tight checkpoints and controls that were once present were no longer seen.

Although the Yin Corpse Sect was indeed furious at the time, after nearly a year of fruitless searching, they lifted the blockade and resumed normal exchanges with the outside world.

Except for some important transportation hubs where arrest warrants are still in place.

Other areas have already withdrawn their personnel and resumed normal development and production.

Therefore, Xiao Chen could not directly top up his card upon his return this time.

But it doesn't really matter. It's pointless to take it out on a bunch of small fry. If you're going to fight, fight the big guys.

Especially the True Lord of Sacrifice and the True Lord of Refining Evil, the ancestor of the Dai family, who were blocking the outside of Tianxing Island at that time.

Hmm, I'll take care of the Dai family while I'm at it.

If a family can raise such spoiled brats and an unreasonable patriarch, then the entire family is completely corrupt, and the rest of the family members must be no better.

If Xiao Chen were to take action against them, it would be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people.

It's the kind of great good deed that can accumulate merit in secret.

"Huh, what's going on up ahead?"

Before Xiao Chen even reached the Yin Corpse Sect, his divine sense, which had expanded to a radius of two thousand miles, had already detected a large group of people fleeing towards him. Behind them, an even larger number of cultivators were in organized pursuit.

With his keen eyesight, he could easily tell that the group fleeing were probably a group of rogue cultivators.

If nothing unexpected happens along the way, I'm afraid none of them will escape, and they will probably be defeated one by one before long.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Chen is too lazy to meddle in other people's business. After all, he doesn't know who is right and who is wrong, and he has no intention of getting involved in other people's grievances.

However, this time the situation is different.

He recognized them at a glance from their uniform attire; they were all disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect.

A simple deduction—since the Yin Corpse Sect is no good, what they are doing must also be bad.

When he sees injustice on the road, Xiao Chen will inevitably lend a helping hand.

He immediately slowed down his escape speed and then blocked the group's path.

"Hey~, it's you?"

Xiao Chen looked closely and, to his surprise, he recognized the rogue cultivator who had led the escape.

It was the same Red Tassel Immortal he had encountered by chance at sea after his first return from the new cultivation world.

He also obtained a lot of information from the other party.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen looked around and indeed saw several slightly familiar faces.

They were all rogue cultivators who had met once before in the fleet.

At that time, the sea creatures were incredibly powerful, and they sailed together in their spirit ships to seek refuge in the Stormy Sea.

As it turned out, they happened to run into Xiao Chen asking for directions.

Before they parted, Xiao Chen gave them a kind reminder: "If you go to the Storm Sea, it's best not to choose to stay in the Sea of ​​No Light, especially stay far away from the Corpse Sect."

And now it has indeed come true.

But then again, they were quite lucky.

Now that we've encountered Xiao Chen, we can say we've escaped this calamity.

"Who is this... Fellow Daoist Xiao? Senior Xiao?"

Hongying Zhenren was busy escaping when he suddenly saw someone blocking his way, and he was immediately stunned.

Upon seeing the newcomer's face clearly, and especially sensing the powerful aura of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, his face lit up with joy: "Senior Xiao has also come to the Storm Sea!"

He was already at his limit, his true energy nearly exhausted, and even his sword was about to fall.

But the moment they saw Xiao Chen, their eyes suddenly lit up with hope, as if a drowning person had grasped a lifeline.

"I regret not heeding the advice of my elders back then; now I'm facing this calamity..."

Master Hongying's voice trembled: "I beg you, senior, to have a kind thought and save our lives!"

Upon seeing this, several Golden Core cultivators nearby also stopped their escape.

They had already suffered a great loss of vital energy during their previous escape, and all of them were pale and their breathing was disordered.

Deep down, I already knew that continuing to run would be futile; I had only tried to struggle out of the instinct to survive.

Seeing that a turning point had arrived, they simply gave up on running away and came forward to ask for help.

One of the older men, whose Taoist robes were stained with blood, forced himself to step forward and said, "Senior Xiao, the pursuers behind us are all disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect."

"In order to create corpse puppets, they secretly capture and wantonly harm us outsiders who are wandering cultivators. They have clearly fallen into the demonic path."

"We beg Senior Xiao to help us eliminate the demons and uphold justice!"

Another female cultivator knelt on the flying sword, her black hair disheveled, sobbing uncontrollably: "The Yin Corpse Sect members don't even spare women and children!"

"How can you call yourself a cultivator? You're clearly a demon in human skin!"

"We beg Senior Xiao to uphold justice for us!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd cried out in unison, "We beg Senior Xiao to exorcise the demons and uphold justice! We beg Senior Xiao to uphold justice for us!"

Upon hearing her mention it, Xiao Chen also remembered that after killing Young Master Dai, he had indeed seen a clay pot containing a child in the other party's storage ring.

That made him frown, and he burned it all to ashes with his spiritual fire.

Unexpectedly, several years later, the other party not only did not restrain themselves, but instead became even more outrageous.

Moreover, judging from this, it seems that all the disciples and members of the Yin Corpse Sect were involved.

Well, this time it really is about eliminating evil and protecting the righteous.

Moreover, given the current situation, it would be unreasonable for Xiao Chen to simply ignore it.

"Senior, please allow me to explain. I am a demon hunter from the Yin Corpse Sect, ordered by the Nether Silkworm True Lord to hunt down the evil cultivators here."

As they were speaking, the disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect caught up: "Please, senior, be wise and do not believe the sweet talk of such treacherous villains."

Although they had already realized that the newcomer was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, he still took the initiative to reveal the signboard of the Yin Corpse Sect and the name of the Nether Silkworm True Lord.

If he were to go outside, he naturally wouldn't have the courage to speak up.

But this place is called the Sea of ​​No Light, and the Yin Corpse Sect, with several True Monarchs presiding over it, is the king of the Sea of ​​No Light.

Moreover, he had just heard clearly that although the prey seemed to know this unfamiliar Nascent Soul senior, they were not familiar with each other and only addressed each other as seniors.

Since that's the case, the priority should be collecting materials for our own True Lord.

In any case, within the territory of the Sea of ​​No Light, even Nascent Soul True Monarchs from outside would give way to the members of the Yin Corpse Sect.

This has been the case for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, without exception.

Hearing the other party blatantly distort the facts.

Upon hearing this, Master Hongying and the others turned deathly pale.

They originally thought that their chance encounter with their own True Lord from the Sea of ​​Compassion here would be a way to escape death.

Unexpectedly, the disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect dared to speak out and distort the truth at this moment.

Moreover, his words clearly indicated that he was using the name of the Yin Corpse Sect as a backer.

Although they had heard of the Yin Corpse Sect's infamous reputation after arriving here.

But I never expected them to be this arrogant.

However, a very simple principle is that since they dare to do this, it means that it is likely to work.

In other words, if Xiao Chen is pressured by the Yin Corpse Sect, he might choose to abandon them.

After all, it's not wise to offend a powerful force just for a fleeting encounter.

Thinking of this, Master Hongying's lips moved, but in the end she couldn't speak.

After all, they were just independent cultivators, with neither background nor compensation, so what could they offer to ask the other party to stand up for them?

"No, did I ask you to speak?"

Xiao Chen sneered and looked at the so-called Demon Slayer: "You don't even know to show reverence to a Nascent Soul True Monarch? You've got some nerve."

"Who gave you the courage?"

"Just because you're a disciple of the Yin Corpse Sect?"

Even at this point, the Demon Slayer only showed a slight fear.

But after a brief hesitation, he spoke again, saying, "This humble one would never dare to offend the True Lord! It's just that these evil cultivators were arrested on the orders of the True Lord of the Underworld Silkworm."

"I was merely following orders, please forgive my anger, Your Majesty."

Hey, who is this Nether Silkworm True Lord?
The disciples I taught are so arrogant, it's truly an eye-opener.

Xiao Chen didn't recognize this person, but he figured he was probably one of the Supreme Elders of the Yin Corpse Sect.

But none of that matters; there's just one small thing he doesn't understand.

So he asked in return, "Strange, don't you all recognize me?"

He's only been gone for less than six years, not sixty, so why is he already so unknown?
Xiao Chen's sudden question stunned the Yin Corpse Sect disciples on the other side.

They looked at each other, bewildered, not knowing what was going on.

However, one of the disciples standing to the right of the Demon Slayer suddenly widened his eyes.

He immediately covered his mouth with one hand, and pointed tremblingly at Xiao Chen with the other, stammering, "You...you are the Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator who killed Young Master Dai five years ago!"

Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator," the other Yin Corpse Sect disciples' expressions changed drastically.

The leader of the demon hunters was instantly drenched in sweat, and felt his body stiffen.

Oh no, we've encountered a hostile True Lord!

If it were any other True Lord, he might not be in danger today, but this one is an exception.

The key point is that the damn wanted poster clearly stated that the other party was only a half-step True Monarch, so how the hell has he already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?

How come that bastard who caused them to be unjustly scolded by Master Dai so many times didn't die outside?

"It's good that you still recognize me."

Xiao Chen finally nodded with a hint of satisfaction: "When we go down there, at least we'll know the truth."

"But I'm not called some kind of Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator."

"Remember this well, the person who recruited you is called Xiao Chen."

Having said that, he was too lazy to waste any more words with these Yin Corpse Sect disciples, and simply raised his hand and struck out with a palm in their direction.

Instantly, raging flames shot out, forming a giant handprint thousands of feet long in the air.

With a single palm strike, he accurately and flawlessly wiped out all the Yin Corpse Sect disciples present.

Even though there were three Golden Core Grand Perfection cultivators among them, they still couldn't withstand a single blow.

"Bear! Bear!"

At the spot where the demon hunter had been standing, a scarecrow suddenly appeared and was instantly engulfed in flames.

A hundred feet away, a figure staggered out, quickly pulled out a talisman, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence to stain it red.

He then slammed his fist on himself, transforming into a streak of blood-red light that sped away into the distance.

Clearly, they had a substitute straw doll and a blood escape talisman as their trump cards for escaping.

"Hmph~!"

Xiao Chen snorted coldly, and a flying needle instantly appeared in front of him, then caught up with the blood-red light at an even faster speed and pierced through it.

After all, he had already mastered the Azure Wave Bone-Penetrating Needle technique to a high level, and with the Hextech enhancement, a mere third-tier Blood Escape Talisman was no match for him.

"Ah~!"

A scream was heard from several miles away, and then the demon hunter fell straight into the sea.
