novelHeavenly Lodging Palace's Hua Qingyun
| ← Ch.1949 | Ch.1951 → |
As the others searched the surroundings for natural treasures, a voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind. The Demon Blood Vulture sent him a voice projection, They escaped.
Originally, when Xiao Chen saw the Demon Blood Vulture returning while emitting a baleful aura, he thought that it had perfectly completed its mission. Unexpectedly, the Murong couple still managed to escape.
Since they escaped, so be it. Xiao Chen was not a bloodthirsty person. Since he had already taught the other party a lesson, the other party probably knew whom they should not offend in the future.
After casually consoling himself, Xiao Chen did not linger on this matter but joined the search.
—
Far away, a flickering Heaven Suspending War Chariot flew over the fleeing Qi Yunfeng.
Qi Yunfeng raised his head and took a look. That Heaven Suspending War Chariot moved too fast for him to see it clearly. He only caught a glimpse of the Heavenly Lodging Palace's mark on it.
It was the Heavenly Lodging Palace's Heaven Suspending War Chariot. Furthermore, it was a 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot.
A 1-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot was incomparable to a 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot. With that war chariot, one would not even need to fear a Sovereign Personage.
Qi Yunfeng was still incredibly weak, and his chest continued to bleed. He was not even confident of being able to walk out of this Desolate God Valley. How could he think of anything else?
He withdrew his gaze and continued trudging forward.
"Hey! Isn't that the Ruling Sword Gate's Qi Yunfeng?"
The Heaven Suspending War Chariot that just flew over turned around. Then, a youth wearing blue embroidered robes came out when the door opened. This person mocked, "Why are you in such a sorry state? Where is your 1-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot? Why don't you take it out and compare it to my 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot?"
Qi Yunfeng felt slightly stunned. He had not expected the war chariot to return. With his debilitation and the blood sand haze, he could not clearly see that person's appearance.
After peering at the other party for a long time, Qi Yunfeng discovered that it was Hua Qingyun, the young master of the Heavenly Lodging Palace's branch in Ancient Desolate Town.
Hua Qingyun's grandfather in the Heavenly Lodging Palace had surpassed Sovereign Personage. With his tyrannical backing, Hua Qingyun was considered an influential scion of the sect. Furthermore, he held some authority within the Heavenly Lodging Palace's branch in Ancient Desolate Town.
Within Ancient Desolate Town, Hua Qingyun was someone who walked about without any fear.
Qi Yunfeng had met Hua Qingyun once before. He knew that the other party was mocking him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Hua is joking. How can my broken war chariot compare to Young Master Hua's? Furthermore, my war chariot was already destroyed by the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake."
"What?! A Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake!"
Hua Qingyun's expression changed radically as he ordered loudly, "Speak, where is the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake? Man, invite him up."
Qi Yunfeng had purposely said that to attract this person's attention. After he boarded the war chariot, he spoke about his experiences while adding extra details.
Qi Yunfeng sighed and said, "They are the disciples of the Divine Dragon Empire's Dragon's Gate, after all. We had just killed the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake, and they immediately fell out with us. Our Ruling Sword Gate cannot afford to offend them. They will probably end up taking away the entire corpse of the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake."
Hua Qingyun smiled coldly and said, "How audacious! I will help you vent this frustration. This is not the territory of their Divine Dragon Empire. To think that they dare to be so arrogant after coming to Ancient Desolate Town."
"Many thanks, Young Master Hua. However, they are Dragon's Gate disciples, after all. I can just endure this small wrong done to me. Young Master Hua, there is no need to make a big fuss over this and offend the Dragon's Gate."
Hua Qingyun smiled widely and said, "If they were inner sect disciples, I would give them some face. However, they are only outer palace disciples, and they dare to bully the people of my Ancient Desolate Town. I won't let them do that!"
Qi Yunfeng smiled coldly to himself when he saw that he managed to incite Hua Qingyun's hostility with a few words. He could not help feeling cocky.
"What are you doing still sitting there and not leaving?"
Qin Yunfeng asked dispiritedly, "Young Master Hua, what do you mean?"
"Of course, I mean scram. I've already said that I would stand up for you. Could it be that you want to come with me?"
"Bang!"
Right after Hua Qingyun spoke, he kicked Qi Yunfeng out of the Heaven Suspending War Chariot.
Qi Yunfeng fell out with a 'bang' and tumbled on the ground a few times. Then, he started laughing uncontrollably.
The pain he felt brought tears to his eyes. He cried miserably. He really had suffered eight lifetimes of misfortune today.
"Young Master, good kick! That fellow has ill intentions. He might even be feeling cocky over successfully inciting conflict between Young Master and that group of Dragon's Gate disciples." A gray-clad old man came over and pandered to Hua Qingyun.
Hua Qingyun mocked, "Others might not know what he is like, but would I not know? He is merely a broker. He is a villain that betrayed other villains several times. Does he think that everything he has done is a secret?"
The gray-robed old man asked, "Young Master, what are your plans?"
A glint flashed in Hua Qingyun's eyes as he said, "The headquarters' Ninth Elder has nearly reached his bottleneck in his poison Cultivation Technique. I can give him that Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake's Beast Core."
The gray-robed old man said, "However, Elder Xu and the others said that there is a great discovery in Desolate God Valley, and they need the 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot to suppress the place."
"What's the rush? It is just a group of Dragon's Gate cultivators who have activated their Great Desolate Eon bloodlines. It won't take much time to deal with them."
Hua Qingyun's tone brimmed with pride. He did not think much of Xiao Chen's group at all.
"Drive the 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot at full speed!"
—
Xiao Chen and the others, who were searching for natural treasures, did not know that big trouble was speeding towards them.
"I found it!" Liu Ruyun cried out happily, calling everyone to her. They saw a bright-red, seven-petal flower under the rubble of a mountain.
In the middle of the petals lay an exceptionally sinister-looking fruit that looked like a ghost's face.
"Demonic Blood Ghost Face Flower!"
Wei Hongfei let out a startled cry, "We struck it rich this time!"
Xiao Chen went over to take a look. Then, he said, "It is more than ten thousand years old. How old exactly will require a professional Alchemist's appraisal."
Liu Ruyun frowned and said, "This ghost face looks really scary."
"This fruit is actually its essence. However, we cannot consume it. It is for Demonic Dao cultivators. On the other hand, we can exchange it for resources in the black market. We can keep the seven Demonic Blood Leaves and consume them after reaching Sovereign Personage. At that time, the leaves can bring out their greatest effect, strengthening our Soul Energy."
Situ Changfeng knew a lot about this Demonic Blood Ghost Face Flower.
The group carefully picked the Demonic Blood Ghost Face Flower and left it to Xiao Chen for safekeeping, like before.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud, piercing sound rang out in the distance. Recognizing this very familiar sound, Liu Ruyue cried out in startlement, "It is a 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot!"
A 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot was several times faster than a 1-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot. By the time the group discovered it, escape was impossible.
"Bang!"
The war chariot landed heavily in front of the group, like it was flaunting its might, sending powerful shock waves surging out.
The expressions of Wei Hongfei and the others changed. Right now, they had not recovered much of their strength yet.
"Remain calm." Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he released the Demon Blood Vulture.
The Demon Blood Vulture understood what Xiao Chen wanted. It let out a loud, prolonged cry, and its demonic nature burst forth. Its entire body turned bright red and repulsed the shock waves, nearly knocking back the 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot.
Hua Qingyun cursed in the war chariot. When he saw the Demon Blood Vulture clearly, his eyes lit up as he said, "They really have plenty of good stuff. You all, go out and tell them that this young master is interested in the Demon Blood Vulture. Tell them to hand over the Demon Blood Vulture and the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake's Beast Core. After that, they can leave."
"Young Master is really magnanimous, wanting only the Beast Core and the Demon Blood Vulture. You are giving them too much face."
Hua Qingyun smiled and said, "Enough with the bootlicking. Go out quickly."
"There's no need!"
Just at this moment, a cold snort came from outside. Hua Qingyun demanded, "Who is it?"
"Bang!"
What replied to Hua Qingyun was a heavy punch from Xiao Chen. Fifty Cauldron Force surged over together with a dragon roar.
The door of the 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot broke off and went flying into the war chariot.
The broken door whooshed through the air, bringing a strong wind that blew the decorations inside the war chariot into complete disarray.
"You are seeking death!"
The enraged Hua Qingyun extended his hand to catch the door.
However, he underestimated the force in the door. Blood leaked out of his lips as the door knocked him back.
Xiao Chen alone blocked the entrance and swept his gaze around, taking in the general situation.
There were ten-odd people on the war chariot. Aside from the people operating the war chariot, there were ten Holy Venerates.
This was a rather strong team. That gray-robed old man was particularly strong, no weaker than Eccentric Tie.
"A Vital Qi cultivator!"
The gray-robed old man frowned as he asked, "Friend, where do you come from?"
Xiao Chen retorted indifferently, "Can't you tell from the Dragon Race aura coming from me?"
The gray-robed old man's heart skipped a beat. They had kicked an iron board this time. As he looked at the calm and firm Xiao Chen, he found him rather unfathomable. He reached out to stop the enraged Hua Qingyun and said, "So, it is a Dragon Race disciple. Is there a misunderstanding? We are only passing by."
Xiao Chen said coldly, "Stop pretending. I heard what you said in here."
Honestly speaking, Xiao Chen had many considerations while in the sect regarding his current strength, and he could not bring it all out.
Now that he was out of the sect, he had many trump cards. Unless a Sovereign Personage arrived, he would not fear anyone.
It was already good that Xiao Chen did not go about bullying others. However, those who dared to target him were completely reckless and tired of living.
"Senior Yang, why are you afraid of him? Attack together and take down this mixed-blood dragon!" Hua Qingyun snorted coldly and led the other cultivators in the war chariot to charge at Xiao Chen, ignoring the gray-robed old man's efforts to stop them.
"You overestimate yourself, " Xiao Chen said indifferently. Then, two Dao disks appeared behind him, and their Great Perfection Dao Might layered over each other.
After he infused the Heavenly Dragon's mysteries into his Dragon Might, his aura soared, and he charged at Hua Qingyun's group.
