Chapter 179 An unexpected old friend
More than ten years have passed, and Chai Xin's cultivation and the realm of Yuantian secret arts are no longer what they used to be.
The Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest is indeed dangerous, but with his keen eyesight, he won't make any mistakes.
However, this place had obviously experienced a fierce battle and was no longer the same as it was before.
“So many broken limbs and flesh, it seems that they have only been dead for a few years, but they are still full of extraordinary spirits... Well, at least they are all cultivators from the Xiantai Secret Realm!”
"However, there are no remains of the Zhan Dao level. It seems that even on the legendary Burial Emperor Star, Zhan Dao existence is rare."
Manniu and others followed Chai Xin and noticed that among the surging dragon energy, there were many pieces of flesh and blood that were shining with precious light and still had life floating up and down.
Chai Xin pondered for a moment and guessed that it might be Ye Fan's doing.
In the original novel, Ye Fan designed a plan in the Yao Chi Holy Land to lure strong men from various holy places and sects into the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, and even a saint-level figure died here.
It seems that even though the original plot was disrupted by him, his ability to converge the world line is still amazing, and many things still happened inevitably.
But he didn't know how Ye Fan broke into the Four Extremes this time, and whether the situation afterwards was as dangerous as in the original book.
Under Chai Xin's leadership, everyone exited the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest safely and arrived at the land of the Northern Territory.
"Isn't this... a little too desolate?"
"Why does it feel like it's not as good as the Feathering Star Region..."
Looking at the boundless reddish-brown land, the monsters such as Manniu were a little dazed, feeling that it was not quite the same as the world of cultivation they had imagined.
"What a country bumpkin! Do you think a beautiful place is a good place?"
Longma curled his lips in disdain. He could feel that the laws of this world had become much looser and the great way in the dark didn't seem so far away after all.
Chai Xin smiled and said, "Although the Northern Territory is relatively desolate, it is a treasure land that the world must fight for. This is because the mineral veins here are rich, and the source produced every year is more than a hundred times that of the entire Yuhua Star Territory!"
"Good fellow, I really don't know the difference between gold and jade!"
Manniu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to go down and look for minerals.
"Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. Let's go to the Holy City to inquire about the news of our old friends first, and then make arrangements."
Although they were tens of thousands of miles away, with their speed, it didn't take too long to arrive.
The holy city was as prosperous and bustling as ever, with the streets crowded with people, making Chai Xin feel as if he was in another world.
"This city is great. It deserves to be called a holy city. Even the imperial city of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty is much inferior to this one."
"That imperial city is indeed magnificent, but in terms of scale and prosperity, it is indeed much inferior to this city."
The wild bull and the black ape both transformed into burly young men, walking among the crowd and looking around constantly.
They could all clearly sense the magic array hidden in the holy city. If it was truly opened and controlled by a powerful master of the Dao of Killing, even a saint would have no way of breaking it, and if it took too long, there would even be the risk of losing one's life.
The group walked into Zuixianque, one of the eight immortal restaurants in the Holy City.
Looking at the dreamy buildings and elegant and simple pavilions and waterside terraces, Chai Xin felt as if he was in another world.
The past event of defeating Ji Haoyue here seemed to be still vivid in my mind.
Several maids with good looks and cultivation levels above those of the Taoist Palace appeared and welcomed the group into a waterside pavilion.
Chai Xin casually threw out a piece of pure source and asked for some wine and food.
Seeing this, the maid became even more respectful and slowly bowed and retreated.
Each pavilion and waterside terrace is dozens of feet apart, and there are special fog and curtains in between to block them, making it difficult for ordinary monks to spy on the words and actions of other guests.
However, for people like Chai Xin and others with such cultivation level, these little tricks are naturally useless.
While eating, he concentrated quietly and listened to the discussions around him.
"Fellow Taoists, who do you think can be called the strongest among the younger generation in the world today?" Someone raised this question.
Immediately, everyone in the pavilion was attracted by this topic.
"It's hard to say. Prodigies like Zhonghuang and Nanyao were already able to compete with the supreme saints ten years ago. Who knows what level they have reached now?"
"And there is Xia Jiuyou. He was defeated by Demon King Chai at the beginning, but he learned from his shame and became braver. Now he has mastered the immortal song of transcending tribulation. I am afraid that it will be hard to find an opponent in the whole world."
"You all overlooked one person, that is Hua Yunfei! When Saint Yaoguang was killed by Demon King Chai, everyone thought that the ruthless lineage would not have a successor in the short term, but they didn't expect there would be such a person! Although he was forced back by the Saint Body, over the years, who knows how many people he has secretly devoured... Tsk tsk!"
“Speaking of which, Demon King Chai was a huge mountain in the past, suppressing all the geniuses in the Eastern Wasteland. But he suddenly disappeared unexpectedly, and no one knows what happened to him…”
"Hey, how many people who were with the Holy Body could have a good ending? He was a disaster! The Holy Body offended so many people, but he was very efficient and ran away on the Nine Dragons Coffin, but he brought disaster to all his old friends!"
"Yes, Tu Fei, Pang Bo and others have been hunted down repeatedly in recent years, and I don't know how they are doing now. Zi Tiandu once said that he would kill all the old friends of the Holy Body and avenge his close friend Wang Teng."
"What revenge? Wang Teng has already been resurrected with the help of the ancient chariot. To put it bluntly, it's just a cover for murder and robbery!"
When Zi Tiandu was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
In addition to the geniuses of the human race, there are also many geniuses from the ancient races that have been revived in recent years.
Huo Qizi, Huang Xu Dao, Yuan Gu, Shencan Daoist, Tian Huangzi...
Each one is extremely stunning!
If we really compare them, the current geniuses of the human race may not be that good enough.
“If Demon King Chai and Saint Body were still here and had grown to this point, they might be able to suppress Huang Xudao, Yuan Gu and the others.”
"It's hard to say. As the saying goes, a child who was brilliant when young may not be a perfect person when he grows up. Moreover, which one of the ancient clan geniuses is not a legend? Even the Holy Prince disappeared in order to support Pangbo. It is said that the Heavenly Prince took action..."
"Without a real battle, no one can determine this. The departure of these two people can be regarded as a suspense for our human race."
Just then, someone suddenly spoke from a distance.
"He can't have a holy body! Any of the other geniuses like Huangxu Dao, Yuangu, etc., can destroy him single-handedly! As for that Chai Demon King... Humph, how can a mere innate Dao fetus be compared with the genius of my ancient clan?"
Someone recognized the people over there and immediately showed a look of fear, whispering: "I know this guy, he is from the Beiyuan Golden Family, and seems to have a close relationship with the ancient clans."
"If the Holy Body and that damn Chai Demon King hadn't left, they would have been killed by the Ancient Clan's genius! Look at his companions, how many of them are still active? They have already been secretly killed!"
Hearing this, Chai Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became a little solemn.
Longma and Heiyuan were already furious. Someone actually belittled their master in such a way. He was simply courting his own death.
"Where did this little bastard come from, and dare to speak so arrogantly and fabricate Chai Xin?"
Long Ma has always been a person who is afraid of chaos in the world. How could he swallow his anger, especially when facing a few guys who are not even in the Xiantai Secret Realm? He immediately raised his head, grinned and shouted loudly.
His loud shout instantly silenced the entire Zuixianque.
After a while, everyone came to their senses and looked at the white horse in astonishment, which had entered the human restaurant without changing its shape. The young man from the Beiyuan Golden Family was stunned at first. He had a distinguished background and had never been scolded in person.
After a moment, he came to his senses and his face turned red, obviously he was very angry.
"How dare a beast that has not yet transformed dare to humiliate me like this? Whose mount is not tied up properly?" He slammed the table and stood up, looking over with eyes as bright as lightning.
"Fuck you!"
Although Longma tacitly accepted to be Chai Xin's mount, he hated it most when someone mentioned this. Normally, none of the Manniu would mention this, but he immediately got angry at this moment.
Before anyone could react, the figure had disappeared.
"puff!"
Everyone only heard the sound of a watermelon popping, and Longma's figure returned to the original place again.
"How can it be!"
"died!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment before looking in the direction of the sound, and were horrified to find that the genius of the Beiyuan Golden Family had his head exploded, his flesh and blood were a mess, he could not be deader!
After all, he was a genius in the late stage of Dragon Transformation, but he was trampled to death by an unknown white horse just because of a few words!
It was not until this time that everyone began to look at Longma seriously.
This guy is so cruel. He kills people over a disagreement, and the whole thing happens in the Holy City, in Zuixianque!
Don’t you know who is behind Zuixianque?
"Who dares to cause trouble in Zuixianque?"
At the same time, a clear and majestic voice sounded.
Then, a graceful and beautiful figure flew out from the depths of the palace and was close in an instant.
"Oh, a pretty girl? I didn't cause any trouble. The one who caused trouble has been stepped on to death by me. No need to thank me."
Longma was leaning on a wooden chair like a human being, wearing a pair of frog-eye glasses brought from Earth, with his legs crossed, and a glass of fine wine on his front hooves. After taking a sip with relish, he spoke calmly while burping.
The crowd, who had already been stunned by his decisiveness and strength, were stunned again after seeing this scene.
Is this a fucking horse?
He's a real gangster!
That ruffian look is simply speechless.
"You...you are killing people here. Do you know the rules of my Zuixianque..."
The beautiful woman had obviously never seen such a scene before. After a moment of shock, her pretty face returned to normal, but there was still a hint of weirdness in her eyes.
When her eyes moved and swept across Chai Xin's face, her cold voice suddenly stopped, replaced by a look of shock.
“Chai…Chai…”
A female cultivator from the Xiantai Secret Realm actually stuttered for unknown reasons, which shows how intense her inner turmoil was.
Chai Xin was still thinking about his next move and didn't take the current events seriously at all, until he heard the woman calling him, then he looked over.
After seeing this, he was also stunned.
"You are... Luo Qianling? Senior Sister Luo?"
The woman in front of him was none other than Luo Qianling, the second saint of Wanchu Holy Land.
On that day, when Chai Xin was transiting from Wanchu Holy Land and heading to the Holy City for a decisive battle with Ji Haoyue, he met him once and exchanged a few words with him.
Although the impression was not deep, given the two's cultivation levels, there was no way they would remember it wrong.
"Yes, it's me!"
Luo Qianling was almost incoherent. She had never expected that she would meet Chai Xin here again.
The Demon King Chai first suppressed the Ji family's divine body, then defeated the Golden Winged Little Peng King, then defeated Xia Jiuyou, and finally killed the Yaoguang Saint Son who was the inheritor of the ruthless man...
He has long been a legend that countless young people in the Eastern Wilderness both respect and fear!
But he suddenly disappeared mysteriously. Some people said that he was trapped in a secret place, and there were even rumors that he had died in the assassination of the Killer Dynasty...
"Chai Zhenchuan, where have you been all these years?"
Luo Qianling was a little excited, but after all, he was also a half-step great power at the first level of the Immortal Platform, and his state of mind was extraordinary, but he quickly returned to normal.
She realized that although her cultivation level was far superior to what it used to be, when she stood in front of Chai Xin, the feeling of awe had not diminished but became even stronger!
It is obvious that Chai Xin has not wasted these years and his strength has become even stronger!
Seeing Luo Qianling so excited, the onlookers were greatly surprised, and some even felt jealous.
In this holy city, who doesn't know the reputation of the Drunken Fairy Queluo? In terms of beauty and temperament, she is only inferior to the Fairy An Miaoyi in Miaoyu Temple.
She is the aloof goddess in the hearts of countless young male monks. Even the sons of some holy lands or the heirs of ancient families may not be able to win her favor.
But now, he actually showed such admiring look towards a nobody!
This was unbearable for many people. If they had not seen Longma's previous methods, I'm afraid someone would have jumped out to cause trouble.
"Sister Luo, can we go somewhere else to discuss this?"
Chai Xin smiled.
"Oops, I'm sorry, please follow me!" Luo Qianling immediately patted his forehead lightly, showing a slightly apologetic look, and then hurriedly led Chai Xin into the depths of the palace.
As for the young man from the Golden Family who was killed earlier, he had long been forgotten.
Luo Qianling's series of reactions had stunned others.
Who is this young man who suddenly appeared, and why did he make Fairy Luo of Wanchu Holy Land lose her composure like this?
Many people who heard Luo Qianling's previous words "Chai Zhenchuan" could not help but fall into deep thought, and had vague guesses.
Could it be that the Demon King Chai, who has been missing for more than ten years, has returned?
They felt that if this was true, it would inevitably cause a new storm.
Many people left the place immediately and went to inform the forces behind the scenes of the news.
"Why is Senior Sister Luo here?"
Walking in the garden inside Zuixianque, Chai Xin asked as if he was the host.
Luo Qianling was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled and said, "It seems that Chai Zhenchuan doesn't know that the owner behind Zuixianque is our Wanchu Holy Land!"
Now it was Chai Xin's turn to be stunned. After a long while, he said, "So that's how it is."
He suddenly remembered that the Holy Son Wanchu had hosted Ji Haoyue for a banquet here, saying that he was apologizing for Chai Xin, but in fact he was just flattering the other party.
It turns out that there is such a reason.
"Chai Zhenchuan hasn't answered my question yet. Where has he been all these years?"
