The Tianhe Palace Elder's nascent soul didn't even have time to utter a scream before it was completely incinerated in the phoenix flames!
This sudden turn of events stunned Yue Feng and the other two Tianhe Palace Elders.
They never imagined that Chen Changsheng, who should have been killed instantly, would actually counter-kill a Tianhe Palace Elder!
"This guy… isn't a minor cultivator; he's been hiding his cultivation!"
Yue Feng was horrified.
Recalling Yang Zhihua's attitude back then, and the subsequent unification of the Ancient Immortal Dao by the Vast Origin Holy Land, a terrifying conjecture began to form in his mind.
"Quickly take this person down, or the Tianhe Palace won't be safe!" Yue Feng shouted in alarm.
The two remaining Tianhe Palace Elders also realized the situation was dire and immediately abandoned their pursuit of Cheng Ziyue, turning to attack Chen Changsheng.
Seeing this, Cheng Ziyue grinned and said, "Only realizing now that you need to escape? It's too late!"
He moved swiftly, blocking the path of one of the Tianhe Palace Elders.
The last remaining Tianhe Palace Elder charged towards Chen Changsheng alone, feeling the scorching true fire, like a raging inferno, bearing down on him, causing his heart to tremble.
Although Elder Xiao had fallen due to carelessness and underestimation, this couldn't negate Chen Changsheng's own formidable strength.
"His cultivation must have reached the Transformation Spirit stage, and he's a top-tier cultivator within that stage, otherwise, he couldn't have shattered Elder Xiao's physical body with a single punch."
The Tianhe Palace Elder thought to himself.
Especially the phoenix true fire Dao technique before him, which had transformed into an overwhelming sea of flames, engulfing him from above!
Facing the attack of a Transformation Spirit stage cultivator, he wasn't flustered at all, even taking the time to collect a large number of natural treasures, completely disregarding the Tianhe Palace Elder.
This action angered the Tianhe Palace Elder.
You may be strong, but aren't you being too arrogant!
The Tianhe Palace Elder's eyes flashed coldly, a sharp sword magic weapon appearing in his hand, his dharma idol transforming into a hundred-foot giant, slashing out with its sword!
Boom!
Chen Changsheng quickly brandished his battle halberd, colliding with the sharp sword.
The clash of metal created a large number of sparks, setting off a massive wave of true energy, causing the surrounding earth to crack and sink in layers.
If Chen Changsheng hadn't collected the natural treasures in advance, they would definitely have been destroyed by this Dao technique energy.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows.
Chen Changsheng switched between the Great Desolation Heaven Suppressing Halberd and the Nameless Halberd Technique, continuously cleaving the space, like countless lightning bolts crisscrossing, forcibly tearing apart the Tianhe Palace Elder's magic weapon.
The Tianhe Palace Elder retreated in a disheveled state, once again summoning a new long sword.
However, the same sword technique was completely ineffective in Chen Changsheng's eyes, his Heavenly Eye Divine Power analyzing the weaknesses of the Tianhe Palace Elder's swordsmanship.
The Nameless Halberd Technique suddenly descended, accurately striking the flaw in the swordsmanship.
The newly summoned long sword shattered once again before his very eyes.
The Tianhe Palace Elder's pupils constricted violently, feeling a layer of turbulent thunder flames rolling around him, like a dazzling and beautiful meteor streaking across the starry sky.
Puchi!
The Tianhe Palace Elder's head was directly cleaved off by the battle halberd, blood spraying across the air.
His eyes were first dazed for a moment, then revealed a look of relief and helplessness.
At this point, how could he not tell that Chen Changsheng's strength was completely above his own?
He probably hadn't even used his full strength and was still completely suppressing him.
No wonder Elder Xiao was blasted apart with a single punch; this level of strength was probably comparable to even a Holy Land direct disciple, right?
The Tianhe Palace Elder's nascent soul flew out of his body, a bitter smile appearing as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
What followed was Chen Changsheng's phoenix true fire, incinerating his nascent soul with lightning speed, without letting him suffer any pain.
Seeing this scene, Yue Feng trembled all over in fear.
No longer caring about opportunities or treasures, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to run away as quickly as possible.
He hurriedly threw out a large number of talismans and magic weapons, hindering the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples' pursuit, while covering himself with talismans.
His figure swept away like a hurricane, fleeing rapidly towards the tunnel.
"Stop right there!"
The enraged Thousand Mountains Sect disciples naturally wouldn't let him get his way, sacrificing precious talismans and formations to seal off and imprison the fleeing Yue Feng.
The battle on Cheng Ziyue's side had also entered a white-hot stage, and the remaining Tianhe Palace Elder, seeing the situation was bad, also thought about escaping.
Once fear arose in his heart, the cultivator's strength would plummet sharply.
The Tianhe Palace Elder, who could originally go toe-to-toe with Cheng Ziyue, was immediately suppressed, battered with the flowing light Dao techniques until he was covered in blood, looking extremely miserable.
The two engaged in a fierce chase and escape within the cave, the outcome already decided.
Chen Changsheng calmly retracted his gaze, continuing to collect the natural treasures within the cave, as if he were isolated from the world, standing in another spatial dimension, unable to feel the surrounding Dao technique battles.
After a while, the noise within the cave gradually subsided, with only the restless Dao technique aura remaining in the air.
The Tianhe Palace Elder was killed by Cheng Ziyue, and the Tianhe Palace Young Master Yue Feng was suppressed by the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples, tied up on the ground like a miserable stray dog.
"Thank you again, Elder Chen, for this operation. Please accept the storage rings of these people."
Cheng Ziyue no longer knew how to express his gratitude.
In the two incidents they had encountered, Chen Changsheng had stepped in to help resolve the crisis.
He could only offer what he had, presenting Yue Feng and the three Tianhe Palace Elders' storage rings to Chen Changsheng.
Besides this, the Thousand Mountains Sect really didn't have anything else to offer.
If he had to say, there might be one thing, and that was the pellet drum magic weapon in his hand.
But this magic weapon was his livelihood and one of the Thousand Mountains Sect's inheritances, so he couldn't give it away.
"Bastard, do you know that I am the Young Master of the Tianhe Palace? My father is in this secret realm. How dare you rob and kill us from the Tianhe Palace?"
Yue Feng still maintained an arrogant demeanor, shouting loudly.
But when his gaze fell upon Chen Changsheng, his arrogant words suddenly stopped, and then his expression turned ugly as he said, "Fellow Daoist, you've hidden yourself very well. If I'm not mistaken, you should be someone from the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, right? Not only are you strong, but you also have Holy Land direct disciples fawning over you, yet you're pretending to be weak to take advantage of us from the Tianhe Palace…"
"Shut your stinking mouth!"
Cheng Ziyue slapped Yue Feng across the face: "Elder Chen is just being low-key, unlike you, a纨绔 (wan ku, playboy) causing trouble everywhere. Don't use your dirty habits to speculate about the noble Elder Chen!"
"Cough cough!"
Chen Changsheng coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed by the sudden praise and flattery, and immediately changed the subject: "Sect Leader Cheng, those three Tianhe Palace Elders were just executioners. The real culprit who killed the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples should be this Young Master. Why are you still sparing his life?"
Hearing this, before Cheng Ziyue could speak, Yue Feng, lying on the ground, revealed a sneer: "Of course, it's because you're afraid of my father. How dare a mere Thousand Mountains Sect offend my Tianhe Palace?"
"Don't think that just because you haven't killed me, everything is fine. Don't forget that you killed our Tianhe Palace Elders. The Tianhe Palace will never let this matter rest!"
"I advise you to release me now, and maybe when I'm in a good mood, I won't bother with your Thousand Mountains Sect."
Although he was lying on the ground, his aura was not weak at all.
As for the fact that Chen Changsheng also killed the Tianhe Palace Elders, he didn't mention it at all.
A typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
Pa!
Cheng Ziyue raised his hand and slapped Yue Feng across the face again, causing blood to spill from the corner of his mouth, his eyes nearly splitting.
"Elder Chen, you misunderstand. The foundation of my Thousand Mountains Sect is indeed inferior to the Tianhe Palace, but we are not afraid of them. The reason for sparing this child's life is to interrogate him about some matters."
They knew very little about the information regarding the stone cave.
From the time they entered until now, they had only encountered demons and evil beings along the way. The only ten thousand living people they had encountered had all become the blood food for the evil cultivator old woman.
On the other hand, Yue Feng had not only encountered several sect cultivators but had also engaged in fierce conflicts.
From this, it could be seen that the entrance through which the other party entered the stone cave was different from theirs, and the things they encountered were also different.
They might be able to extract a lot of useful information from Yue Feng's mouth.
"Bah, if you don't release me, I won't provide you with any information even if you beat me to death…"
Pa!
Another loud slap landed on his face.
This time, it was the Thousand Mountains Sect female disciple who attacked. Her slap was extremely powerful, mixed with her hatred for Senior Sister Li's death.
"You don't want to talk? Good, then I'll take this opportunity to beat you to death!" the female disciple gritted her teeth.
Yue Feng's entire face was slapped red, the burning pain almost causing him to faint.
Seeing the other party's hateful eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Wa... wait, wait. If it's not anything important, I'm still willing to reveal some things to you."
Cheng Ziyue revealed a sneer: "Beat him! We'll ask after you've vented your hatred. You killed Thousand Mountains Sect disciples, did you really think you wouldn't pay the price?"
With the Sect Leader's permission, more than a dozen Thousand Mountains Sect disciples immediately flashed their eyes and rushed over, waving their fists.
For a time, screams echoed incessantly within the cave, as shrill as the slaughter of pigs…
