Chen Zhongming stood solemnly, his heart as cold as ice, steeped in murderous intent.
Since these people couldn't kill Chu Zhiyuan, they would be killed by Chu Zhiyuan sooner or later.
If they might expose his existence, then he couldn't let them live.
They couldn't resist the temptation of the black pearl.
The black pearl could shield their aura, isolate Chu Zhiyuan's intuition, and escape Chu Zhiyuan's pursuit.
This was irresistible to them, who were already terrified.
He waited for about a cup of tea's time, estimating that the fight over there was almost over, and then floated back again.
Looking again at the ground and the surroundings, it was clean and tidy, with no traces of fighting.
This made his expression change slightly, and he turned his head to look around.
"Are you looking for me?"
Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling suddenly moved sideways from behind a tree and appeared in front of him.
Chen Zhongming retreated quickly, like a wisp of light smoke, drilling into the forest, passing over one pine tree after another.
Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling followed gracefully, maintaining the original distance: "The Heavenly Heart Sect's main altar was destroyed. Are you seeking revenge?"
Chen Zhongming kept his lips tightly sealed, firmly grasped the black pearl, and felt a little more confident in his heart.
Immediately afterward, he felt a little guilty.
If this black pearl was really so powerful, he shouldn't have been targeted by Chu Zhiyuan.
How did Chu Zhiyuan discover him?!
"Are you wondering how I caught up with you?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Speaking of which, you guys are unlucky to have been seen by me."
He pointed to his eyes: "Taking a glance at the White Bone Pagoda in the crowd and then turning away, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?"
"So many people!" Chen Zhongming couldn't help but say.
When he thought of the black pearl, he felt a bit more confident and wanted to take the opportunity to feel out Chu Zhiyuan's bottom line.
Knowing Chu Zhiyuan's bottom line would make it easier to assassinate Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Actually, there weren't many people. You could see them at a glance. — — — - Your behavior was abnormal, very eye-catching."
Chen Zhongming's face was gloomy.
At that time, the impact was too strong, and he didn't think of so much for a while.
He felt that with so many people mixed together, it was impossible for Chu Zhiyuan to see him.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "If your treasure is really this strong, the main altar wouldn't have been destroyed by me. If the main altar couldn't be protected, can this Venerable protect you?"
Chen Zhongming's face was extremely gloomy.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Letting you come to die, was there any promise? Was it about becoming a god after death? Do you really believe in such unreliable things?"
He shook his head repeatedly, with an expression of looking at a fool: "It's just to trick you into dying. You don't really believe it, do you?"
"The Venerable is a cultivator from the Heaven Above Heaven!" Chen Zhongming said coldly.
He could tolerate others calling him cold-blooded, inhuman, and cruel, but he couldn't tolerate others calling him stupid.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "What if the cultivator is from the Heaven Above Heaven? If he really has the ability, why doesn't he come down himself?"
"Only the spirit can penetrate between the two heavens!"
"That is to say, after you die, your soul can enter the next heaven?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "But what if you really die and can't go up?"
Chen Zhongming said coldly: "As long as there is a Venerable to guide you, you can enter it!"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Those who ascended in the past, were they guided by someone? No one is guiding them now?"
"That's right."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head repeatedly: "This is obviously a trick to play with people. Why did someone guide them in the past, but no one guides them now? Not ascending is because no one is guiding them? That's because the cultivation is not enough!"
Chen Zhongming suddenly stopped, stood on the tip of a pine tree, and glared at Chu Zhiyuan coldly.
Chu Zhiyuan also stopped, not continuing to approach, maintaining the original distance.
"It's just tricking you into dying," Chu Zhiyuan said, "Think about it and you'll know it's impossible. No one in this world can go up."
"Someone can," Chen Zhongming sneered, "Your emperors of past dynasties can ascend!"
"How can the Son of Heaven Sword be compared to your Venerable?" Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.
He thought to himself: Did the emperors of past dynasties ascend?
Chen Zhongming said: "As long as I perish together with you, I can ascend to the Heaven Above Heaven!"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Ridiculous!"
Chen Zhongming tightened his grip on the string of black pearls.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Where is the main altar of your Heavenly Heart Sect in Da Meng?"
"I don't know," Chen Zhongming said.
He suddenly understood why Chu Zhiyuan didn't kill him directly.
He wanted to find the Heavenly Heart Sect's main altar in Da Meng through him.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Since this main altar has been destroyed by me, after the Venerable's statue is destroyed, your Venerable's power can no longer descend, right? How did you get this treasure?"
"The Venerable entrusted me with a dream," Chen Zhongming said coldly.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Your various evil sects, the Venerables are from the same lineage, are they from the same sect?"
Chen Zhongming was silent.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Although your treasure is good, its power is not enough."
Chen Zhongming had been wondering why Chu Zhiyuan didn't kill him directly.
Suddenly, a bright moon appeared in his mind, pure and flawless, suddenly brightened, and then his eyes went dark.
Just as he was about to faint, a cold aura suddenly poured into his palm.
This cold current instantly circulated around, dispelling the darkness.
His eyes brightened, and he regained consciousness.
He found that the figures of Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling had already reached the distance and were slowly disappearing.
He looked down at the black pearl in his hand, and one black pearl was slowly dimming.
He touched it lightly, and it immediately turned into ashes.
Chen Zhongming immediately understood that this black pearl had saved his life.
At the same time, he also witnessed Chu Zhiyuan's secret technique.
It turned out to be a bright moon. Once you saw the bright moon, it meant death.
Such a secret technique was unheard of!
It was indeed a supreme treasure that could block Chu Zhiyuan's secret technique!
Chu Zhiyuan must have thought that he was dead, which would be beneficial for the next assassination!
Thinking of this, he was greatly encouraged.
"Not killing him?" Xiao Ruoling and Chu Zhiyuan walked side by side.
"He is still useful, keep him for now," Chu Zhiyuan said, "His pearl is indeed powerful."
The previous slash was not entirely merciful, but also a kind of test.
This black pearl could indeed weaken the power of the Moon Blade God, just like the extraterrestrial evil power of the main altar.
Distorting super-perception couldn't locate remotely, weakening the power of the Blade God, and finally, there was a wonderful use for substituting death.
It was indeed a rare treasure.
"Let him bring more evil sect experts over?"
"He will be the best bait. — Moreover, he is a core high-level member of the Heavenly Heart Sect, and the secrets he knows are extremely valuable."
"You want to know the secrets about the upper world?"
"Ruoling, do you know something?"
"Palace Master said that it's better to become a Grandmaster before contacting these things, otherwise it will affect the state of mind."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then you should enter the Grandmaster realm as soon as possible, without further delay."
"If we go to Da Meng with you — — —" Xiao Ruoling sighed, "I'm afraid it will implicate you, and inevitably cause resentment from the court officials."
Going on a mission to Da Meng, actually bringing his own woman, such behavior was easily criticized.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Let them say what they want. This mission was originally meant to be scolded."
He could help them judge the accurate moon phase, thereby increasing their cultivation speed.
He could also help Xu Yingying accelerate her cultivation.
While talking, he was thinking about the secret of ascension, the secret of the Heaven Above Heaven.
He vaguely had a clearer outline and understanding of the world.
Could the Son of Heaven Sword help him ascend?
Then if he didn't ascend and only stayed in this world, using the Yin-Yang Returning Void Art, plus several ancient inheritances, could he make his lifespan infinite?
Early in the morning, a courtyard in Ziyang Manor.
"Still not ready?!"
"Almost, almost ready!"
"Just wear that dress from yesterday. There's no need to change again."
"That one is already dirty."
"What's dirty about wearing it for a day? Hurry up, otherwise Senior Sister and the others will set off late."
Shen Hanyue stood outside Xu Yingying's room, stamping her feet impatiently.
