Chapter 121: Zimu Peak
Chapter 121: Zimu Peak
Just as the words fell.
The image in the shadow pearl suddenly began to rotate as if it had been dropped from Chen Jue's hand. The final scene showed Chen Jue coughing up blood, with his chest caved in from the impact.
Then, the light of the shadow pearl dissipated, and the transmission of images from the other shadow pearl came to an end.
"Well it's still uncertain whether the young master is dead," Elder Xu Sheng, who was below, saw Chen Ye's extremely displeased expression and cautiously tried to console him.
"Do you think that person, who didn't even listen to the warning to spare his clan, would spare Jue'er!" Chen Ye's anger erupted, and he violently smashed the shadow pearl in his hand toward the ground below.
"Damn it!"
Chen Ye smashed the long table in front of him with a palm, his anger uncontainable as he roared, "Why is this Su Zhan so ruthless! Jue'er is only twenty years old, with unparalleled talent, such a bright future, all ruined by this person!"
"Moreover, Jue'er already begged for mercy and promised never to set foot in the eastern region again. Why! Why did he still make a move!"
"Sect Master, those people in the eastern barbarian land have never experienced the might of our Sole Sword Sect, so naturally, they don't know the meaning of fear, to the point of killing the young master!"
"Now that the young master has found the path to the other side of the Celestial Mountains and has transmitted the complete information back in the past two days, why don't we take this opportunity to drive straight in and avenge the young master!"
"Along with that, we can annex the entire eastern region!" Elder Xu Sheng's eyes revealed a hint of greed, "As the young master said, the spiritual energy in the eastern region is extremely thin, resulting in a very low overall level of martial arts!"
"The strongest there is only Liu Badao, who has just reached the second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm! Of course, the strongest should be that Su Zhan now."
"But it's certain that the eastern region as a whole is very weak, and this weak eastern region has the passage to a special realm. If we can obtain that special realm, with our power, we can definitely gain great benefits from it!"
"Moreover, although the martial strength in the eastern region is low, the talent of the martial practitioners doesn't seem to be too low, and there are also quite a few individuals with saintly bodies. Additionally, the eastern region covers a vast territory with its fifteen countries. If we can bring the eastern region under our control, the future development of our Sole Sword Sect will undoubtedly be incredibly smooth!"
"Hmph! The eastern region is the piece of fat that Jue'er sacrificed his life for! I have no reason to abandon it!" Upon hearing Xu Sheng's words, Chen Ye calmed down slightly and coldly said, "However, the Elders are currently attacking Chuiliu Mountain, which will likely take another ten to fifteen days. I'm at a crucial moment in condensing the Saint Qi Pill to break through the fourth transformation, so I can't leave these days. I can only let those ants live a little longer!"
"Sect Master, I am willing to go!"
"You?" Chen Ye hesitated as he looked at Xu Sheng and said, "To kill Jue'er, Su Zhan must first defeat Zhao Fang. Although Zhao Fang is only at the second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, he is definitely considered a strong individual among those at the second transformation. That Su Zhan's combat power is probably not weaker than that of someone at the third transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm!"
"Sect Master, defeating Zhao Fang doesn't necessarily mean he has the combat power of the third transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm! The third transformation opens up the Yinwei Sant Meridian, where the Saint Qi is born, which is stronger than True Qi, it's a qualitative change!"
"Moreover, even if his strength reaches the third transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, I have been in the third transformation for over fifty years. I have already reached the late stage of the third transformation. Although I'm not comparable to the peak of the third transformation like the Great Elder and Second Elder, it won't be a problem to kill a small barbarian!" Xu Sheng quickly spoke.
A newly discovered region, no matter how barren, will always have many treasures due to its vast territory! If he can be the first to go to the eastern region, with his strength, he can suppress those forces and plunder all the treasures without difficulty.
Otherwise, when the Great Elder and others go, he might only be able to drink some leftover soup.
That's why he was so eager to go to the eastern region.
"Sect Master, how can Su Zhan, who killed Young Master, not seek a way out? Moreover, he has probably already obtained the safe route that connects to the Celestial Mountain Range. If he escapes from the eastern region, it will be even more difficult for us to track him down. We cannot delay seeking revenge for Young Master! Delaying it may lead to unforeseen changes!"
"Very well, let's do as you say!" Chen Ye took out a red pill and threw it to Xu Sheng, saying coldly, "If you can't defeat him, swallow this Fury Blood Pill. It will temporarily enhance your cultivation to the peak of the third transformation. However, the side effects are significant and will take six months to recover from. Only use it as a last resort."
"Remember, not only Su Zhan's head, but also his entire family, his friends, and everyone related to him, must be killed!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!" Xu Sheng took the Fury Blood Pill and felt delighted. "Rest assured, Sect Master, I will bring back the heads of Su Zhan and everyone involved in this matter to seek revenge for Young Master!"
"Very well, go!" Chen Ye waved his hand.
As he watched Xu Sheng's departing figure, a strong sense of killing intent filled his eyes.
"I hope Senior Xu will succeed. Otherwise, once my Saint Qi Pill is completed and I break through to the fourth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, I will personally go to the eastern region and slaughter more than half of their martial practitioners! Let those barbarians understand the consequences of their actions!"
Two days later.
In the eastern region, above the territory of the Liu Family in the Wu Kingdom. Su Zhan stood on the White Jade Boat, looking ahead at a towering mountain peak.
Zimu Peak, approximately 3,500 meters high, was the tallest peak in the eastern region.
The Heaven Connecting Martial Ground was located at the center of Zimu Peak.
At this moment, there were already many disciples of the Liu Family, as well as some deacons and elders, gathered outside the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground. Their gazes were focused on a young man in the center.
He was the genius of their Liu Family, who had just broken through to the Origin Elixir Realm. He was currently utilizing the power of the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground to purify impurities and stabilize his cultivation.
"He truly deserves to be our Liu Family's number one genius, achieving success in breaking through to the Origin Elixir Realm at the age of nineteen!"
"Alright, now that we've witnessed this spectacle, let's all go back to cultivate!"
"Mm-hmm, then I'lloh, that's the Black Flame Eagle! Didn't the Patriarch and the others go to oversee the Martial Arts Conference? Why have they returned so early?"
"Why are there two flying boats alongside the Black Flame Eagle? What's going on?"
The disciples of the Liu Family were puzzled as they noticed the White Jade Boat carrying Su Zhan approaching from the sky.
Soon, the Black Flame Eagle and the White Jade Boat, as well as the Peach Blossom Boat, landed on the summit of Zimu Peak.
"Grand Elder, greetings!" The disciples bowed in succession.
"Mm."
The Grand Elder of the Liu Family responded with a nod and turned to ask a senior elder on Zimu Peak, "Elder Yue, has Liu Yu broken through to the Origin Elixir Realm?"
"In response to the Grand Elder, he has indeed broken through! Liu Yu truly deserves to be our Liu Family's number one genius. At the moment of his breakthrough"
"Since he has broken through, let him come out quickly and not occupy the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground any longer!" The Grand Elder of the Liu Family was in no mood to listen to such nonsense and gave a direct order.
"Grand Elder, isn't that too harsh?" The senior elder hesitated for a moment and said, "Liu Yu is our Liu Family's top genius. He uses the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground to stabilize his cultivation quickly"
"Forget it. The situation is urgent, and there's no time to explain to you." The Grand Elder of the Liu Family saw that the White Jade Boat had landed and noticed that Su Zhan seemed somewhat displeased as he looked towards the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground. Without hesitation, he took a light step and approached the edge of the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground.
"Liu Yu, since you have successfully condensed the Origin Elixir, leave the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground! Lord Su Zhan needs to use this place!"
"The Grand Elder wants me to leave the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground?" Liu Yu, who was meditating in the center of the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground, suddenly opened his eyes in disbelief and said, "I am the Liu Family's number one genius. If I don't have the qualification to use the Heaven Connecting Martial Ground, then who does?"
"Besides, what Lord Su, who is this Su Zhan!"
