Chapter Fifty-Nine: Leaving No Stone Unturned

  Third update! Votes and collections, you guys take a look and give some points, okay?

  The dialogue between Chen Yao and Duanmu Ze did not hide anything, and with a nearly straightforward power, they poured out their dissatisfaction with each other. This attitude of being honest with each other is rare and precious.

  But to others, it sounds like a huge joke.

  One is a young master of a declining family, who has been poor and struggling since childhood, and is also the well-known "Sweeping Star" of Songyancheng. The other is the son of one of the six noble families from Longyuan City, with a high and prestigious status.

  These two people, whether in terms of status or self-cultivation, have an insurmountable gap between them, so how can they possibly become friends?

  In the cultivation world where strength is respected, what else can this be if not a joke?

  In Chai Le Tian's eyes, Chen Xiao was undoubtedly talking nonsense at this moment, like a poor fool.

  "It's just like a fool, fortunately my father tore up the engagement letter that year..." Just then, Su Jiao's voice came from the other side.

  Chen Xiao was previously excited and only now noticed that at a distance of 100 meters on the other side, Su Jiao and others were still standing there.

  Like Chai Le Tian and the others, Su Jiao's group was also covered in bloodstains, their faces exhausted. Originally a team of thirteen people, now only nine were left, an even more severe loss than Chai Le Tian's group.

  Chen Xuan's heart was calm and the anger in his chest suddenly dissipated, his eyes scanned around but did not find any trace of Fengxia Sect.

  Could it be... they all died in the chaos?

  Chen Yu was a bit unbelievable, but thinking about it, this is also the closest inference to the truth.

  After all, the people of Fengxia Sect were composed of young masters from other small forces in Nanjiang. Although they all had a cultivation base of Zifu Realm, it was clear that they couldn't be compared with Su Jiao and Chai Le Tian's group, who came from the ancient great powers of Longyuan City.

  "Sister Su, the culprit who caused heavy losses to both of us is standing right in front of us. Are you going to take action and kill him, or should I do it?"

  Chai Le Tian said slowly and deliberately, "The chaos in the Hall of Treasures was caused by this kid. Now that the Hundred Herb Pavilion has also been destroyed, it seems like it's also because of him. It's possible that he not only has many jade slips hidden on him but also treasures from the Hundred Herb Pavilion. If you don't take action, I'll just have to make a move first."

  "Hum, would you be so kind?"

  Su Jiao coldly snorted, but her heart was stirred. The treasures in the Treasure Pavilion wouldn't have been plundered by this guy as well, would they? If so, she really couldn't let Chai Le Tian seize the initiative.

  "Haha, a wise man doesn't speak in riddles, of course I have conditions."

  "Speak up and let's hear it." Su Jiao raised an eyebrow.

  "That's what this kid has on him, we'll split it fifty-fifty." Chai Letian replied without hesitation.

  This condition can be said to be the best, after all, after the chaos just now, each other has a deeper understanding of each other's strength. If they were to fight again for what Chen Yu had on him, the price would be too high and extremely not worth it.

  At this moment, Chai Letian also clearly recognized this point, so he would propose this suggestion.

  However, Su Jiao still felt a bit uneasy. As far as she knew, Chai Le Tian had an extremely strong sense of possessiveness and wasn't someone who was easy to talk to. Being able to make such a suggestion was simply too unbelievable.

  "Alright, I agree." After some deliberation, Su Jiao still decided to give it a try.

  Just then, Chen Ting, who had been watching coldly all along, suddenly spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, after the battle just now, you must have also been injured. Even if you weren't injured, your physical strength and true yuan must have been depleted by at least 70% to 80%."

  Upon hearing this, Chi Yue Tian and Su Jiao, as well as the people behind them, all had a faint change in their expressions.

  Chen Xiao looked at them with a gaze that grew more and more certain of his inference, opening his mouth once again: "I just killed Li Hua in the Hall of Hundred Herbs. If you think you can defeat me in your current state, then come on!"

  Kill Li Hua?

  Su Jiao's expression suddenly sank, and when she entered the Cangjing Hall, Li Hua quietly left according to her intention, heading towards the Baicao Hall, so he was not involved in the previous melee. His strength is also at its peak state, which is higher than Su Jiao's current state.

  If it's really as Chen Tang said, Li Huan died miserably at his hands, then doesn't that mean that none of the people present today can be a match for Chen Tang?

  Ptooey!

  Chen Yu casually threw Li Hua's Songwen sword to the ground, without further explanation, because facts are always more persuasive than words.

  As expected, upon seeing the sword on the ground, Su Jiao could no longer remain calm and blurted out: "How is this possible? After entering the Sword Immortal's abode, Li Hua's strength was no longer restricted. With his cultivation at the Purple Mansion Realm, how could he have been killed by you?"

  It's actually true!

  In the distance, Chai Le Tian's pupils contracted, and many thoughts rose in his mind. With his current strength, if he went all out, he could completely take down Chen Tai. However, doing so would be too dangerous, not to mention that Su Jiao and others were watching with sinister intentions, what if they took advantage of the situation when he was fighting Chen Tai?

  Ganging up is also impossible. If Chen Yao is forced into a desperate situation, he will inevitably cause some harm to himself and others in a fight to the death, while Su Jiao and others can take advantage of the situation at this time.

  What's most worrying is that Du Qingxi and the other two are clearly not ordinary friends with Chen Yao, if they were to jump out and fight alongside Chen Yao at this time, their side would only have three people left, making them the weakest group, in a precarious situation...

  Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chai Letian's face had become extremely gloomy. Until now, he couldn't help but admit that Chen Tai was a very formidable opponent. His cunning and decisive mind, as well as his meticulous grasp of the situation and his intricate and flawless strategy, made him extremely wary.

  If this child is not eliminated early on, he will surely become a great calamity in the future!

  For no reason at all, a very absurd idea suddenly popped into Chai Letian's mind.

  No way!

  At this moment, we absolutely cannot act rashly, otherwise we will inevitably fall into a situation that is unfavorable to ourselves.

  Chai Le Tian had no choice but to reluctantly accept reality, because apart from standing by and watching, he had lost all means of dealing with Chen Xiao.

  Su Jiao's feelings were similar to those of Chai Le Tian, and the reasons for her apprehension were also identical to Chai Le Tian's. In fact, he understood Chen Yao's strength even better than Chai Le Tian did.

  Outside the city of Blood, she had witnessed Chen Tai and Li Hua's battle with her own eyes. Although Chen Tai only had a Xiantian cultivation base, his martial arts skills were not much inferior to those of the Zifu realm, and even surpassed them in some ways. After all, among these people, only Cang Bin could cultivate a certain martial skill to the point of unity between heaven and man, and she herself couldn't do it.

  Chen Ting not only brought his fist to the realm of unity with heaven and man, but even his swordsmanship had hints of breaking through the boundaries of unity with heaven and man. Such a freak cannot be measured by ordinary standards. His killing of Li Hua is enough to explain everything.

  The atmosphere was subtly changing, and Du Qingxiang and the other two could naturally feel it. The gaze towards Chen Xiao also underwent a huge change.

  Astonished, surprised, puzzled... as if it was the first time I met Chen Yao.

  Because the three of them were also unable to think of a way out, they could only use the phrase "a turn of the hand can bring forth clouds, and a cover of the hand can bring forth rain" to describe how one sentence and one sword could reverse the situation, which was beyond their wildest imagination.

  In this silent atmosphere, Chen Tai raised his foot and walked towards the distance. His expression was as usual, without any sense of being surrounded, walking extremely steadily and evenly.

  "Chai brother, why don't we kill this guy first?"

  Su Jiao's voice was like it was squeezed out from between her teeth, and the gaze she gave Chen Yao was almost spitting fire, too arrogant. Did this guy think he couldn't be cured by her?

  Chai Letian heard this and looked at Du Qingxiu and the other two. He didn't say much, but his meaning was clear.

  Su Jiao was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood that if these three people were to jump out and help Chen Yu at this moment, it would indeed be a headache.

  What's wrong?

  Can't just watch this guy leave with a swagger?

  Su Jiao's emotional entanglement has reached an unbearable level.

  In the grand hall of the treasure house, Chen's words triggered a chaotic battle between three groups. At this moment, his words and a sword on the ground made two groups of people who were eager to kill and loot dare not move rashly...

  This guy is really a freak!

  Everyone's heart rose with an inexplicable complex emotion.

  This chapter is really mind-boggling, I won't play with plots and schemes like this anymore, a pure-hearted person like me can't handle it...
