Chapter 78 Passing through the capital of Yue Kingdom! Plotting against the Black Fiend Cult!
"You're talking too much!"
Lin Chuan's face was ashen at this moment.
The opponent had almost guessed most of his "achievements" in the Crimson Forbidden Land based on just one magical artifact. This feeling of having his secrets exposed made him extremely unhappy, and his murderous intent suddenly arose.
Now that it's been exposed.
Let's just go all the way!
Lin Chuan flipped his right hand, and a pair of curved throwing knives, their bodies as red as blood, with a ferocious shape and blades gleaming with cold light, appeared in his palm.
It was a complete set of top-tier offensive magic weapons obtained from Han Tianya—the Bloodflame Twin Blades!
The pair of throwing knives were thrown.
A fierce aura, a mixture of scorching heat and sharpness, instantly filled the air.
"Haha! Just as I expected!"
"Han Tianya's Bloodflame Flying Knife is also in your hands!"
The handsome young man was not surprised but delighted, his greed almost tangible. "I really didn't expect this! Those arrogant guys who always thought they were geniuses have all fallen into the hands of a mere disciple of Yellow Maple Valley!"
"Good! Very good! Their treasures are a waste to have placed in a mere Foundation Establishment stage youth like you! They are a jewel in the sand, a terrible waste! They should be received by your elder brother!"
"Is that so?" Lin Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile. He no longer deliberately suppressed his cultivation, and the Hidden Spirit Technique quietly disappeared.
"boom!"
A powerful aura, far more robust and refined than that of the "early Foundation Establishment" stage, carrying a faint cyan-gold sword intent, erupted from Lin Chuan without reservation! Mid-Foundation Establishment!
"What?! Mid-Foundation Establishment stage?!"
The handsome young man's smile froze instantly, replaced by incredulous shock. "Only five years have passed... and you've actually advanced from the thirteenth level of Qi Refining to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment?! How is this possible?!"
Alarm bells rang in his mind.
The opponent's cultivation level far exceeded my expectations; I've probably bitten off more than I can chew today!
"go!"
Lin Chuan gave him no more time to think. With a thought, he activated the Blood Flame Twin Blades in his hands, which transformed into two intersecting crimson beams of light. With a sharp whooshing sound and scorching heat, they slashed fiercely at the handsome young man from the left and right, forming a strangling attack!
Although the handsome young man was startled, he remained calm, as he was, after all, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with rich combat experience.
He shouted and produced a simple, earthen-yellow bell.
The small bell grew larger as it faced the wind, instantly transforming into a size of several meters. With its mouth facing downwards, it emitted a powerful force of absorption and suppression.
They actually wanted to trap Lin Chuan and the Bloodflame Twin Blades inside the bell!
"Order it for me!" Lin Chuan reacted quickly, raising his left hand and sending a small bronze mirror with an ancient design and a hazy mirror surface flying up—it was Duobao Nu's signature magic weapon, the Qingning Mirror!
The mirror was aimed at the large yellow clock, and a soft blue light burst forth.
A bluish-green glow instantly enveloped the large clock.
The imposing yellow bell, about to fall, was suddenly stopped in mid-air as if it had sunk into an invisible quagmire when illuminated by the blue light. The spiritual light on the bell flickered rapidly and erratically, and no matter how the handsome young man urged it, it could not descend any further!
"Azure Condensation Mirror?!"
Junior Sister Zhou's personal magical artifact!
The handsome young man's pupils constricted sharply, his shock turning into horror. "She...she was killed by you too?! What...what exactly did you do in the Crimson Forbidden Land?!"
He never expected that not only Feng Yue and Han Tianya's relics were here.
Even the famous magical artifact of Zhou Bao, the "Treasure Girl" with a deep background and great favor in their Hidden Moon Sect, has fallen into Lin Chuan's hands!
What kind of bloody storm has this young man from Yellow Maple Valley stirred up in the Crimson Forbidden Land?!
"You know enough. You should be content." Lin Chuan's eyes were as cold as ice, and his killing intent was as solid as a tangible substance.
Just as the handsome young man's mind wavered slightly from the series of shocks—
Within the Divine Court, twenty-seven pale golden divine consciousness spikes shot out silently, yet with lightning speed!
"The Divine Sword of Awakening Insects," twenty-seven thrusts unleashed simultaneously!
"Ugh—!"
The handsome young man felt as if twenty-seven red-hot steel needles had pierced his brain at the same time. The excruciating pain, accompanied by a momentary blankness of consciousness and dizziness, caused him to let out a short scream. All his movements and control of all his spells were completely interrupted at this moment!
When masters clash, victory or defeat hangs in the balance!
In that instant when he froze—
The two crimson blade beams, temporarily "liberated" by the Azure Condensation Mirror, suddenly accelerated like two venomous snakes that had been gathering power for a long time!
"Pfft!" "Snap!"
One slash through the heart, one slash to the head!
Clean and efficient, with absolutely no dragging things out!
The horror, greed, and pain in the handsome young man's eyes were frozen in time, then quickly dimmed and dissipated.
His remaining consciousness seemed to want to say something, but he could no longer make a sound. His burly body swayed, and with a face full of resentment and disbelief, he collapsed to the ground.
Lin Chuan quickly stepped forward, first cautiously checking his surroundings to make sure no one was lying in ambush or spying on him.
He then swiftly removed the storage bag from the other person's waist and quickly put away the hidden spirit gauze and the small yellow bell.
After doing all this, he launched a fireball, completely incinerating the corpse without leaving a trace.
This place is within the influence of the Hidden Moon Sect, so it is not advisable to stay here for long.
Lin Chuan dared not delay for the slightest, and with Qu Hun in black robes, he once again activated the magical artifact.
Lin Chuan dared not delay for the slightest, and with Qu Hun in black robes, he once again activated the magical artifact.
They sped off at full speed toward the Taiyue Mountains, where Huangfeng Valley was located!
He flew for seven or eight hours straight until it got dark again. After entering a relatively safe area, he landed in a desolate valley, set up simple security barriers, and rested for a while.
Only then did he have time to examine the spoils of war.
First, there's that little yellow bell.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the bell was made of a special material, containing a trace of "copper essence" needed to refine magical artifacts, which explained its exceptional sturdiness.
This magical artifact can trap the enemy.
Its defensive capabilities are also extremely strong, making it a top-tier magic weapon.
Inside Xuan Le's storage bag was a fiery red suit of armor, made entirely of the scales of some kind of fire-attribute demon beast.
After being infused with mana, it forms a layer of flame shield, which has excellent resistance to fire spells and is also quite defensive, making it a rare top-tier defensive inner armor.
As for the "Hidden Spirit Veil," which is as thin as a silkworm's wing and almost transparent, once worn, it can perfectly conceal the wearer's aura and spiritual energy fluctuations without the need for magical power.
It is extremely difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators to detect.
If Lin Chuan's divine sense hadn't far surpassed that of others of the same level, he probably would have been silently approached by the other party today.
However, this item has overlapping effects on Lin Chuan, who has already cultivated the Hidden Spirit Technique to a certain level.
It seems a bit "useless," but if you sell or exchange it, it will definitely be worth a lot of money.
In addition, the storage bag contained a number of low- to mid-level talismans, several good-quality magic artifacts, a dozen mid-level spirit stones, and some miscellaneous medicinal materials.
The wealth of a late-stage Foundation Establishment elite is indeed quite considerable.
After taking inventory, Lin Chuan was preparing to set off again to return to his cave.
However, after flying for half an incense stick's time, when he looked up at the distant horizon, he saw the outline of a city that was vaguely visible in the twilight, but was extremely large in scale.
"That's... the capital of Yue?"
Lin Chuan's heart stirred.
The capital of Yue Kingdom is located within Xinzhou, but he had always avoided the bustling areas and had never gone near it.
Looking at the magnificent city, and glancing at the silent, rock-solid Qu Hun beside him, a thought flashed through Lin Chuan's mind like lightning.
"In the original story, the emperor of Yue was the leader of the Black Fiend Sect! Among the secret techniques he cultivated, there seems to be a technique that... creates an avatar?!" Lin Chuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
He looked at Qu Hun again.
This body, with its low-level Qi Refining cultivation and lack of a primordial spirit, is an excellent vessel for crafting an external avatar.
If we could obtain the secret technique for creating an external avatar from the Black Fiend Cult Leader...
Using the soul of the melody as a foundation, one forges an avatar that is in harmony with one's own will and can cultivate independently...
Once the idea took hold, it grew wildly in his heart like weeds.
"Perhaps... I could stop by Kyoto on the way," Lin Chuan murmured to himself, his gaze once again fixed on the magnificent city shrouded in twilight in the distance, a new decision already formed in his mind.
He changed course, no longer returning to the Taiyue Mountains, but instead flying towards the capital of the Yue Kingdom.
