Chapter 1286: Chapter 1282: Encounter

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”These Undying Evil Venerables each have their own cultivation method, making it unpredictable.”

Huang Zhengyang said, ”If he recklessly kills innocents to strengthen himself with essence, he wouldn’t come directly to the Imperial City.”

”Hmm.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Estimate he would massacre nearby villages and towns first to strengthen himself before going to the Imperial City. ... Why would he come to the Imperial City?”

Huang Zhengyang said, ”Is it the treasures in the Imperial City that he’s after?”

This was his first thought.

Back then, the evil demons also wanted to invade the Imperial City, and most of the Undying Evil Venerables who descended wanted to attack the Imperial City.

It’s clearly not to kill the masters of the Imperial City, nor to kill the princes and important ministers of the Imperial City.

It’s the treasures inside the Imperial City that attract them.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”If we can find out what treasure he wants to obtain...”

”Can we use it as bait?” Huang Zhengyang asked.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

Huang Zhengyang said, ”I’ll find someone to investigate.”

Chu Zhiyuan gazed at the hundred-meter high and ten-meter wide light wall, lamenting, ”As expected of the Court, such grand gestures.”

It covered the sky and the sun, majestic in momentum.

Such momentum and powerful treasures and arrays are only possessed by the Court.

The Heavenly Sword Sect does not have it.

The scope of Heavenly Sword Peak is far inferior to that of the Imperial City, and the light shield of Heavenly Sword Peak is also far inferior to this light wall.

Huang Zhengyang grinned.

”Brother Huang, go busy yourself, I’ll return to the branch, call me anytime.”

”Alright.”

...

The Golden Sword reluctantly withdrew to his waist, and he disappeared in a flash.

Huang Zhengyang widened his eyes.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan already appearing within the light barrier, on the street of the Imperial City, waving at him, then disappearing again in a flash.

Huang Zhengyang frowned.

This strange array and treasure couldn’t stop Chu Zhiyuan, who passed in and out freely.

Would it be able to stop that Undying Evil Venerable?

Did the Undying Evil Venerable leave really due to this light wall?

He looked inside the city with a serious expression, floated up, attempting to leap over the light wall.

But the higher he floated, the higher the light wall followed him, no matter what, it kept him out.

Unconvinced, he shot straight upward, changing his breath in the air and taking a deep breath, charged over two hundred meters, yet was forcefully blocked.

He ultimately descended helplessly, landing again atop the city wall.

Chu Zhiyuan had already sat on his bed in the Heavenly Sword Branch, seeing such a scene, couldn’t help but laugh.

The treasure of the Imperial City could block Qinggong, but couldn’t block the Earth Origin Technique.

Theoretically, it could block that middle-aged man in black robe, preventing him from escaping.

Since they dared to trap him inside the city, they naturally have confidence in killing this Undying Evil Venerable.

His heart and spirit subtly moved, already focused on Zhu Lingyun.

Zhu Lingyun was sitting beside a stone table in a small courtyard, holding a palm-sized Divine Communication Spirit Jade.

At this moment, the carved eyes on both sides of the jade were already open.

Zhu Lingyun through this jade pendant, matched his heart and spirit with the middle-aged man in the black robe below.

Chu Zhiyuan had the feeling he was manipulating the middle-aged man in the black robe.

Yet he actively handed this control to Zhu Lingyun, not personally manipulating.

Zhu Lingyun, using the Divine Communication Spirit Jade, became one with the middle-aged man in black robe, as if he was there in person.

Zhu Lingyun felt a bizarre sensation, as if his senses became sharper, his heart and spirit stronger.

Couldn’t help but marvel at the miraculous Divine Embryo Technique, even surpassing the clone technique.

The Divine Embryo Technique not only transmitted one’s power through the Divine Communication Spirit Jade, but also transformed the gathered Faith Power on the Undying Evil Venerable Statue into the base.

Therefore, it surpasses his own cultivation.

Descending usually transfers a portion of power, five to six parts being the limit.

Yet the Divine Embryo Technique could become twelve to thirteen parts.

Zhu Lingyun already knew Zhuo Yifan’s aim, which was to sacrifice a city to find the breakthrough opportunity.

He was eager to attempt this method, to see if he could glimpse the spirit light of breakthrough.

Zhuo Yifan uses innocent civilians for sacrifice, while Zhu Lingyun aims to use evil demons.

The effect should be indistinguishable.

However, presently the quantity of evil demons isn’t sufficient; a powerful sacrifice requires more people and stronger cultivation.

But using evil demons for sacrifice isn’t easy either.

On one hand, the numbers in various Evil Sects aren’t many; on the other hand, each has evil demons protecting them, even an Undying Evil Venerable.

A sect as large as the Wanxiang Sect is rare; to gather enough numbers, several Evil Sects must be gathered together.

How can several Evil Sects be gathered together?

By severely attacking the Imperial City, Evil Sects seeing an opportunity, thereby inciting their greed, gathering outside the city.

But the power of the Imperial City is beyond imagination, Spiritual Treasures are endless.

Back when dealing with evil demons, they didn’t use these Spiritual Treasures, but now they’ve brought them out.

...

Chu Zhiyuan swiftly refocused, continued to study the Ascension Technique.

By dusk, the sunset cast its remaining glow.

Zhu Lingyun while manipulating the middle-aged man in black robe, left Wanxiang Cliff, entered Qingyun City.

Qingyun City was bustling with noise, people filled every street, vendors’ shouts mixed together.

He walked leisurely, headed deeper to the city center, found a tavern, Yao Yue Building.

Upon reaching the third floor, he sat by a window and ordered a jar of wine, sipping casually.

Super Sense diffused outward, enveloping the entire tavern, messages appeared in his mind, quickly identified, categorized.

These messages varied widely, including neighborhood disputes, Martial Arts wonders, and romantic gossip.

Zhu Lingyun did not scorn it, absorbed it thoroughly, transforming it into a deeper understanding of this world.

Simultaneously, faces emerged before him, compared with those in his memory.

Time gradually passed; Yao Yue Building became more lively, brilliantly illuminated.

Under the lights, people were more excited than in the day, laughing, drinking in large bowls, unrestrained.

Zhu Lingyun suddenly raised an eyebrow.

A middle-aged man in a green robe who had just entered the tavern overlapped with a face in his mind.

This face was seen by Chu Zhiyuan when destroying the Evil Venerable Statue.

Chu Zhiyuan clearly remembered every face when destroying the Undying Evil Venerable Statue and Evil Venerable Statue.

Among them was a face belonging to an Undying Evil Venerable.

Zhu Lingyun was overjoyed.

Finally encountered another Undying Evil Venerable!

What he most wanted to figure out was why the Undying Evil Venerables descended.

Zhuo Yifan’s memory did not reveal the reason.

It was merely a chance encounter with the Divine Communication Spirit Jade, which contained the Divine Embryo Technique.

Eager for a breakthrough, he tried to use it, thus descended to Biyuan Heaven.

As for why chose Biyuan Heaven, it wasn’t a deliberate choice but randomly selected under the activation of the Divine Communication Spirit Jade.

Like tossing a stone into the sky, where the stone lands is uncertain.

The middle-aged man in a green robe leisurely arrived on the third floor, glancing around, finally resting his gaze upon Zhu Lingyun.

He directly approached Zhu Lingyun, stood oppositely, cupped his fists, ”Brother, there’s no other place, may I sit here?”

Zhu Lingyun glanced around, slowly nodded, ”Please do.”

He had already determined that the middle-aged man in a green robe chose him not by chance, but deliberately.

The middle-aged man in a green robe sat down, cupped his fists with a smile, ”I am Su Qi, a disciple of Qianye Valley.”

Zhu Lingyun was taken aback, hurriedly cupped his fists with a laugh, ”So you’re from Qianye Valley, I am Zhuo Yifan, a disciple of Wanxiang Cliff.”

From Zhuo Yifan’s memory, he knew that Qianye Valley is also a Great Sect, comparable to Wanxiang Cliff.

Except it’s quite far from here, rarely do disciples from Qianye Valley appear.

”Wanxiang Cliff... I’m honored.” Su Qi chuckled, ”Su passed by here, didn’t expect to meet a disciple of Wanxiang Cliff.”

Zhu Lingyun smiled, ”Rare to encounter a high foot of Qianye Valley, shall we have a good drink?”

”Sounds great.” Su Qi smiled.

Zhu Lingyun called for a waiter, ordered another jar of wine, added a few dishes.

The two chatted over drinks, talked about Martial Arts anecdotes, and as they drank, they became more familiar, speaking more openly.
