Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 114: Netherworld
The person who came did not conceal his breath. Under the powerful pressure of the Nascent Soul cultivator, the cultivators in the entire Qianzhou City felt as if a huge mountain was pressing on their shoulders, and their breathing stagnated.

"Chen Xuan! Is that the Chen Xuan who inherited the Immortal Burial legacy?"

Someone exclaimed, and for a moment, everyone looked at him in awe.

Chen Xuan did not go there immediately, but looked at the person in front of him calmly and said lightly:
"I can only hold him back for half a quarter of an hour. If you can't succeed within this time, then Qianzhou City will be razed to the ground."

After saying that, Chen Xuan didn't give the person in front of him a chance to speak. He disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Mo Yan looked at the figure that appeared in front of him, sneered, and said:

"Chen Xuan, I really don't want to kill a genius. I'll give you one more chance. Join my Soul Devouring Sect and all the previous things will be written off. Otherwise, you will die!"

After saying that, Mo Yan looked at Chen Xuan. There was no emotion in his gray pupils, and he couldn't help but frown.

"How can I, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, be worthy of your efforts to win me over?"

Chen Xuan spoke lightly, as if considering whether to agree to Mo Yan.

"I know that Ma Yi had previously tried to win you over, but he died at your hands. But he was right in one thing he said. My Soul Devouring Sect has indeed observed you for a long time, but Ma Yi is not worthy of knowing the details, so he doesn't know much about you."

Then, he stared at Chen Xuan with his inky pupils and said:
"After leaving the Immortal Burial inheritance, you used the beast-taming technique to slay everyone in sight, and then escaped unscathed when a demigod arrived. At that time, you were only at the eighth level of Qi training.

A month later, a new leader who had reached the great perfection of Qi training appeared in Canglan Sect. He killed five foundation-building cultivators by himself, and then escaped from the hands of Taoist Tianlong after overcoming the tribulation and went deep into the Hengduan Mountains.

Two months later, the Canglan Sect was destroyed, but you, with your early foundation-building cultivation, stormed in and single-handedly annihilated the five surrounding sects, and then returned alive from the heavenly strike."

As he recounted his past, Chen Xuan's expression became more and more solemn. He had never expected that the Soul-Devouring Cult had been secretly observing him so long ago.

Then, Mo Yan looked at the silent Chen Xuan and said:
"You'd better think about it quickly. When I called you just now, all the monks in this city knew you were here. If you try to delay, I'm afraid those who want to kill you will arrive here before those who want to save you."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan looked down at Qianzhou City with a gloomy expression. Indeed, several figures had turned into streams of light and fled into the distance.

"Your Majesty is really good at it!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, and without further delay, he took out a flag shrouded in black mist.

Seeing Chen Xuan's actions, Mo Yan's expression immediately darkened, and he said sternly:

"It seems you are going to reject me, but if I remember correctly, this flag can only summon souls of the same realm as yours. If you want to defeat me by numbers, I advise you to give up this idea."

After saying that, his aura changed completely, murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he stretched out a big hand to grab Chen Xuan.

"In my eyes, there is no difference between crushing a single ant and crushing a group of ants."

"boom!"

However, just as Mo Yan's big hand was about to fall, a terrifying aura spread from where Chen Xuan was.

Mo Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Chen Xuan with a serious expression.

He saw that his big hand transformed from the dark energy was wrapped by a force, and then countless cracks appeared, and it turned into nothingness in an instant.

As the remaining black aura dissipated, Mo Yan looked up and saw an illusory black figure standing quietly in front of Chen Xuan, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

"A soul in the Nascent Soul stage!" Mo Yan was shocked.

But a moment later, he suddenly laughed out loud, staring at the Soul Refining Flag in Chen Xuan's hand like an eagle, with greed in his eyes unconcealed.

"This is truly an incredible treasure. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator can summon a Nascent Soul Stage soul. This flag is what I want today!"

Then, his figure flashed and he rushed towards Chen Xuan.

However, at this moment, the soul of the Nascent Soul Stage moved. It swung its arm and sent out a fist force that was several hundred feet long, smashing directly towards Mo Yan. It said in a cold voice:
"You want to bully my master in front of me? Do you think I don't exist?"

Facing the oncoming fist force, Mo Yan's expression remained unchanged. With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black flaming dragon condensed out of the void, emitting a gloomy and terrifying aura, causing the surrounding space to distort.

"Nine Netherworld Flame!"

The black dragon transformed by the Nine Netherworld Flame collided fiercely with the fist force, instantly causing the surrounding space to collapse and tearing open terrifying space cracks.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was covered in blood. Summoning this Nascent Soul stage soul cost him a heavy price.

His spiritual power was almost exhausted, and he couldn't even sense the situation around him. Blood kept gushing out of his ears and eyes, and he had no fighting power left in a short time.

But even so, this Nascent Soul stage soul is not complete at the moment and can only perform some simple offensive techniques, and it cannot last long.

After all, Chen Xuan is only in the middle stage of foundation building. Although after the baptism of Chaos Demon Transformation Art, the strength of his soul far exceeds that of ordinary foundation building, it is at most the strength of the soul of the Golden Core stage.

At this moment, all of Chen Xuan's hopes were placed on another person. This was the first time he placed his hopes on someone else.

Even at the exit of the Burial of Immortals inheritance, he never placed all his hopes on others. Even if Zi Chen had not awakened at that time, Chen Xuan could have left safely.

But now, Chen Xuan has no other choice.

At this moment, a ray of light shot up into the sky from Qianzhou City. Even Mo Yan, who was fighting fiercely with a Yuanying stage soul, couldn't help but look towards the city.

However, in this moment of distraction, the Yuanying ghost seized the opportunity and punched him in the chest with great force. "Puff!"

Mo Yan instantly vomited blood and flew backwards thousands of feet. His sternum was broken and his chest was deeply sunken.

At this moment, the murderous intent in his eyes reached its peak. Although he was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, he burst out with the power of a middle stage Nascent Soul, and countless dark energy spread out from his body.

"Release the Netherworld's energy, transform into a ghostly shadow, the Netherworld ghost realm!"

The vast dark energy covered the sky and the sun, making the surrounding area for dozens of miles shrouded in darkness, as if it had fallen into an endless night.

Pitch-black ghost shadows emerged from the darkness, accompanied by gusts of cold wind and the howling of ghosts and wolves.

The dark wind is the Nine Netherworld Strong Wind, which is enough to blow a person to pieces, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling are all attacks from divine thoughts, disturbing people's minds and confusing their hearts.

Wherever the dark energy goes, it turns into the ghost land of the underworld.

In the darkness, an angry voice was heard, which could be heard by all the cultivators in the Netherworld.

"Pass on my decree to start the blood sacrifice formation in advance!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xuan's expression froze. He immediately sent a message to Zhu Yin, asking whether the formation had been completed.

Chen Xuan did not cut off the perception between him and Zhu Yin, so Zhu Yin could naturally perceive the situation outside. When he heard Mo Yan start the blood sacrifice formation in advance, he felt nervous.

Immediately sent a message to Chen Xuan:

"We've tried everything to delay them, but we're still short of one last formation pattern. It'll take an hour, which is only a cup of tea to the outside world!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart tightened, and he shouted towards the city:

"What are you waiting for!"

"boom!"

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, a snow-white figure soared into the sky and broke straight into the ghost realm of the underworld, forcibly tearing open a corner of the endless darkness.

But the man continued to move forward without stopping for a moment, and rushed straight towards Mo Yan, the center of the ghost realm. Wherever he passed, patches of bright moonlight were sprinkled, and ghost shadows screamed miserably and turned into nothingness.

In the pitch-black darkness, there was a "bang" sound, followed by a muffled groan.

Then, there was another series of bangs, as if someone was punching and kicking something, mixed with Mo Yan's furious roars.

Compared with the figure that appeared later, there was still an area in the ghost realm that was not completely shrouded in darkness. There was a figure sitting cross-legged, and a faint gray light was covering his body.

Although it seemed extremely weak, it firmly isolated the surrounding darkness. Even the evil spirits around avoided it when they saw the gray light and did not dare to approach.

At this moment, the entire Qianzhou City was shrouded in a ghostly realm, and in the darkness, screams were heard one after another.

Although Mo Yan was beaten continuously by the white-clothed figure, the endless evil spirits in the ghost realm were unrestrained and continued to slaughter the monks in the city.

Most of the people in Qianzhou City are mortals, and the highest-level cultivators are only at the Foundation Establishment stage. They have no power to resist the attacks of evil spirits and die one after another.

"You beast, take this monster away, or I'll kill you!"

A cold female voice sounded from the white light, and the person in the white light was actually a woman.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Mo Yan's wild laughter came from the ghost cave:

"So what if your fighting power far exceeds mine? Once the ghost realm opens, it will not stop unless I die. And every time someone dies in the ghost realm, another evil ghost will appear. As long as there are evil ghosts, I will not be destroyed. If you kill me, it will be equivalent to slaughtering the entire Qianzhou City. Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the woman with an incomparably beautiful face shrouded in white light frowned tightly. In just this short period of time, thousands of people had died at the hands of the evil spirit. If it was delayed any further, I am afraid that all the living creatures in Qianzhou City would be doomed.

As the mayor of Qianzhou City, this city was founded by her father with his hard work. How could she let it be destroyed in her hands?

Gu Jinxue was extremely anxious. She looked anxiously at the figure on the other side that was shrouded in gray aura and shouted:
"Why don't you take action? If Qianzhou City is lost, I promise to kill you too! There will be no need to discuss any more deals!"

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan sighed.

He originally wanted to wait until most of the living creatures in Qianzhou City were killed by the evil spirits before taking action. By then, he could use the Tongming Lianhun Jue to earn some extra Netherworld Qi.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan slowly stood up, and when Gu Jinxue took action, he took back the ghost in the soul refining flag.

During this period of time, he has been rapidly recovering his spiritual power. Although he has not reached the peak yet, it is enough.

He looked at Mo Yan, who looked fearless, and said slowly:

"I originally wanted to let you live a little longer so that you could make the most of your time, but since the Ancient City Lord has urged me to do so, I have no choice. I will not join the Soul Devouring Cult. I will visit you sooner or later, but you will definitely not be able to wait until then!"
