Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 521: Chapter 518: Double Layer

Cheng Yifeng waved his hand.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, without any intention of meeting.

Especially with Cheng Miaozhen, better not to see each other to avoid awkwardness.

Just as Cheng Yifeng was about to speak, he heard a muffled ”bang bang” behind him, someone had fallen to the ground, dead.

”Ah—!”

Someone screamed.

”Evil Sect fiend!”

”Get out of the way!”

Everyone screamed and retreated, hurriedly avoiding the two who collapsed.

In the eyes of the crowd, the bodies of the two rapidly shrank.

People were immediately convinced that these were indeed Evil Sect fiends, killed by Chu Zhiyuan.

By now, people understood that those who died silently were often Evil Sect fiends.

And these fiends died at the hands of the Fourth Prince Chu Zhiyuan, not by the Emperor’s Sword.

It’s unbelievable, but when it comes to Chu Zhiyuan, it’s not that hard to accept.

Chu Zhiyuan’s progress along the way was originally unimaginable.

The youngest Great Grandmaster in the world.

Cheng Yifeng shook his head. ”Such methods are indeed beyond human understanding.”

Cheng Miaozhen nodded slightly.

”Aren’t you a high disciple of Wentian Cliff,” Shu Fei scoffed, ”how come you couldn’t detect the Evil Sect fiends approaching?”

”...They’re a bit uncanny.”

”Nonsense, how could Evil Sect fiends not be uncanny!”

”Mother, these guys’ Concealment Technique is very strong, they even hid from me, so they can hide from all the grandmasters.”

”You’re really something!” Shu Fei said irritably, ”Is there no grandmaster more clever than you?”

Cheng Yifeng proudly said, ”I have unique secret techniques, the most peculiar at exorcising evil.”

”And what good does that do if you still didn’t notice them.” Shu Fei snorted, ”People outside could see it.”

She turned to Cheng Miaozhen: ”From so far away, how did he see it?”

”A Great Grandmaster’s sensory ability is strong, he’s stronger than other Great Grandmasters,” Cheng Miaozhen explained, ”not surprising.”

”Maybe he sensed it with his gaze,” Cheng Yifeng speculated, ”seeing through illusion, straight to the essence.”

”Look!” Shu Fei suddenly shouted.

Cheng Yifeng and Cheng Miaozhen looked.

Someone knelt and bowed to Chu Zhiyuan, sparking others around to follow suit, several kneeling and bowing.

The atmosphere on both sides of the road grew more fervent.

But Chu Zhiyuan merely glanced over and did not go to assist; he continued forward, allowing them to kneel.

As he went farther away, among the thirty or so kneeling, eighteen suddenly dropped dead.

”Fiends!”

”Evil Sect fiends!”

...

People screamed and retreated, incredulous that those bowing in gratitude to Chu Zhiyuan were actually Evil Sect fiends.

They quickly figured it out.

This was an assassination attempt by Evil Sect fiends, pretending to be grateful to him, bowing deliberately.

”Tsk tsk,” Cheng Yifeng shook his head, ”the Evil Sect indeed stops at nothing!”

Cheng Miaozhen said, ”Driven to desperation.”

”It’s also because of the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant, right?” Cheng Yifeng said, ”Too bad the Princely Heir isn’t here, otherwise he’d see what this Evil Emperor Jade Pendant looks like.”

”Such a wondrous item can’t be shown easily to others,” Cheng Miaozhen shook her head, ”brother, you should be more reserved.”

”Alright, reserved, reserved it is.” Cheng Yifeng promised.

Several experts from the Military Suppression Department floated into the tavern, carrying a large gray cloth bag.

They skillfully put on deerskin gloves and threw several skeletons into the bag before turning to leave.

Cheng Yifeng quickly asked, ”Masters of the Military Suppression Department, these skeletons...?”

”We will take them to the White Bone Tower at Purple Sun Villa,” one Military Suppression Department expert smiled, ”if you have time, you can visit the White Bone Tower at Purple Sun Villa outside the city.”

”I’ve already seen it.” Cheng Yifeng said.

The Military Suppression Department expert smiled, ”The White Bone Tower is rapidly increasing, there are already nine towers now.”

”Wow! Nine towers?”

”It will keep increasing.”

”Definitely worth seeing.”

The experts of the Military Suppression Department left with the large gray cloth bag.

The crowd discussed it, continuing to watch the street situation.

But seeing Chu Zhiyuan stopped walking.

Among the surrounding crowd, one after another suddenly fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, a dozen more fell.

Chu Zhiyuan scanned his surroundings and said loudly, ”Chu Zhiyuan is here, if you are not afraid of death, come on!”

His voice echoed far, spreading nearly several miles away.

The whole area within several miles around the street could hear clearly.

People far away, curious, started climbing to higher places, standing on rooftops or upstairs to look over.

”The Evil Emperor Jade is here, if you have the courage, come and snatch it!”

Chu Zhiyuan took out the Golden Jade Heart Contract from his chest and tossed it into the sky.

The golden jade spun in the air.

The surrounding people turned their heads immediately.

Most had never seen the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant, and now the Golden Jade Heart Contract spun in the sunlight, shining softly.

Those with good eyesight or martial artists saw clearly.

Those lacking martial skills could only see a golden glow.

They widened their eyes, not blinking, staring at the piece of golden jade.

Someone leapt up, intending to snatch it.

But in mid-air, they suddenly froze, falling lifelessly without a sound.

One after another, figures leapt up, falling like birds with broken wings, dying as they fell.

Cheng Yifeng widened his eyes, clicking his tongue in wonder: ”Have we stumbled into the Evil Sect’s lair or what? So many fiends?”

Cheng Miaozhen lightly shook her head.

She also found it incredible.

The grandmasters guarding the city gates weren’t decoration, how did so many Evil Sect fiends sneak in?

If they hadn’t targeted Chu Zhiyuan and attacked ordinary people instead, how terrifying would it be?

She thought of this, her expression darkened.

Cheng Yifeng clicked his tongue in admiration: ”Such heroism, a real man should be like this!”

Chu Zhiyuan gently caught the Golden Jade Heart Contract, saying calmly: ”Anyone wants it?”

The surroundings fell silent.

Everyone quietly watched him.

Chu Zhiyuan fastened the Golden Jade Heart Contract to his waist, calmly saying: ”If you want to snatch it, you’re always welcome, as long as you’re not afraid of death.”

He walked leisurely.

In the distance, people kept coming in droves, mostly out of curiosity, though some fell dead as they ran.

Zou Fang followed closely behind, with the Purple Sandalwood Box in hand shimmering in the sunlight.

Cheng Yifeng asked curiously, ”What is that eunuch carrying?”

Cheng Miaozhen glanced over and said indifferently, ”Probably something to eat.”

Cheng Yifeng sighed, ”Look at the eunuch, his cultivation is amazing; you don’t like eunuchs, but I do.”

Cheng Miaozhen gave him a sidelong glance, too lazy to speak.

Cheng Yifeng sighed.

His sister didn’t like eunuchs, so his original eunuch became the external manager of the Prince Mansion.

Chu Zhiyuan continued walking forward, using Super Sensing Illumination to scan the venerable statues inside the box.

Watching the thick red threads on their bodies snap and disappear.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Chu Zhiyuan walked forward over a hundred meters, suddenly turned, and entered a small alley.

Then took several turns before reaching another street.

He quietly killed nine more Evil Sect grandmasters before heading to the residence.

Before reaching the residence, he heard a thunderclap from the void.

Dark clouds quickly surged over the small courtyard, lightning flickering within them, rumbling.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Weng Qifeng had finally broken through to Great Grandmaster.

And the Golden Tower within him was about to collapse, with the first layer about to crumble.

He suddenly focused, condensing the Sword God of Thunderbolt Saber Technique into two small spirit blades.

”Boom!”

A dazzling golden light spread before his eyes.

The first layer of the Golden Tower shattered, fragments turned into golden light.

Part of the golden light infused into his cells, another into the rising sun.

He immediately felt his body expand tenfold, incredibly powerful, towering to the sky.

The rising sun seemed tangible, clear and real.

The range of his Super Sensing Illumination instantly expanded to ten thousand meters, covering half of Yujing City.

Great Grandmaster Second Layer!
