Chapter 602: Chapter 284 Death (Please Subscribe)_5

Its power was even more terrifying than the Four-Arm Crossbow. When they crashed to the ground, they swept away everything, easily slicing through the bodies of the lizardmen. Subsequently, these impacts created huge craters in the ground and kicked up enormous clouds of dust.

Chu Ming instantly took advantage of the chaos to escape. The three figures used the dust as a cover and hurriedly ran toward the north.

The Wind Blades unleashed by Chu Xisheng were extraordinarily powerful, instantly killing about thirty lizardmen, causing the majority of the seven Sixth Grade powerhouses to redirect their pursuit toward Chu Xisheng with full force.

Chu Ming fully exerted her movement technique and gradually managed to shake off the pursuers behind her.

Only when she had run sixty li away did Chu Ming sense that there was no more movement behind her. She then slowed down her pace, began to regulate her breathing, and restored her True Yuan.

The Daoist behind her, Chu Shi, also stopped. While regulating his breath, he was unable to contain his anger, “Miss, this man is utterly rampant. He stands by and watches death, extorts, and openly violates the sect rules. This matter can’t just be overlooked.”

However, Chu Ming did not get angry. She let out a cold laugh, “We have no evidence. What can we do to him? This guy’s business is not for you to handle.”

Her eyes coldly gazed in the direction in which Chu Xisheng had left.

She thought about the words of Long Heihu from this morning.

Her father had already made arrangements to eliminate Chu Xisheng within the Secret Realm.

Chu Ming knew her father’s temperament well; once he took action, he would certainly not leave Chu Xisheng a way out.

And he would definitely leave no trace that could be linked to her.

Therefore, at this moment, she absolutely could not show any enemy intent toward Chu Xisheng.

When Chu Ming looked back at her two Daoists, her eyes held even more hidden coldness.

The thing that had pulled her here was a “Heavenly Magnetic Core” that had exploded at a very close range.

At that time, the people standing near her were her two Daoists, Chu Xisheng’s servant and master, Fang Bu Yuan and Leng Chanra, and two other Inner Sect brothers with profound cultivation.

It was unlikely to be Chu Xisheng’s master and servant. That person wouldn’t be foolish enough to put himself in danger.

Fang Bu Yuan and Leng Chanra were under substantial suspicion, as legend had it that Store Manager Fang was involved in any kind of trade, no matter how cold or indifferent it was.

The other two Inner Sect brothers and her two Daoists by her side also had significant suspicion.

Thus, at this time, Chu Ming was more guarded against her two Daoists, Chu Shan and Chu Shi, than against Chu Xisheng.

The reward offered by Rebirth Heaven for her was three doses of Third Grade Upper secret medicine.

Moreover, it was said in Jianghu that anyone who killed her would be escorted directly into the Third Grade by a First Grade on the Heavenly List.

Why would Chu Ming believe that her two Daoists would not be tempted by this reward?

Yet, Chu Ming’s expression remained calm.

In the past, she had the temperament of a spoiled young mistress, but now facing danger, she had matured naturally.

“Let’s go to that volcano!”

After Chu Ming’s breathing had become steady and her True Yuan had recovered about eighty percent or so, she continued heading toward the volcano in the east.

The Secret Realm of Time was full of dangers and the landscape was constantly changing.

And outside, every year that passed meant twelve years within the Secret Realm.

Thus, the experiences of fellow sect members from a year ago were mostly useless.

However, there were some distinct features inside that did not change.

For example, the volcano shaped like a human head.

It was said that a terrifying creature was hidden inside the volcano.

However, this creature needed time to awaken. For the first nine days after their entry into the Secret Realm, the area around the volcano was safe. None of the natives of the realm could approach its territory.

At this moment, Chu Xisheng had already reached the foot of the volcano.

His expression was cold and green as he looked at the treetops ahead.

There hung a corpse.

Just moments before, they had still been talking.

It was the son of the Great Elder of the Mountain Patrol Institute, Fang Zheng,—Fang Bu Yuan!

His eyes were wide open, his expression one of disbelief, and his body was covered with strange wounds.

They were sword wounds.

But if one didn’t look closely, one couldn’t spot these marks at all.

They were as fine as hair, hidden between the tissues, and no blood had seeped out.

However, Fang Bu Yuan’s body had been blasted into minced meat by the sword power, formless.

Chu Xisheng slightly frowned and flew to the treetops, his hand pressing on Fang Bu Yuan’s neck.

This was both to explore the Sword Intent inside Fang Bu Yuan’s body and to see if Fang Bu Yuan still had any signs of life.

Then he searched Fang Bu Yuan’s body, trying to find that Void Magical Artifact, but found nothing.

It wasn’t just the Void Magical Artifact that was missing; all of Fang Bu Yuan’s possessions had been stripped away.

Chu Xisheng furrowed his brow, then placed his hand on his sword, his eyes filled with severity as he looked down at the ground, where a young man with a broad brow and a cold expression stood holding swords in both hands, brimming with heroic vigor.

“Brother Leng, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?”

“What explanation should I give?”

As soon as Leng Chanra’s words fell, he felt Zhou Liangchen and Bai Xiaozhao blocking him from left and right, forming a surrounding stance.

Leng Chanra couldn’t help but snort coldly, “If you want to ask about Fang Bu Yuan’s cause of death, I can only tell you that the ‘Heavenly Magnetic Core’ was aimed at Fang Bu Yuan. I entered later, sixty miles away from Fang Bu Yuan. By the time I got within twenty miles, Fang Bu Yuan was already dying under the attack of a mysterious expert. He tried to fly to escape, but he was killed by that person, and his body fell here.”

Chu Xisheng listened without expressing any opinion; his Sword Intent still tightly locked onto Leng Chanra, “Brother, your words do not prove your innocence.”

“It is well known that I learned the Nine Palace Sky Instant Sword, which is completely different from the sword wounds on his body.”

Leng Chanra smiled indifferently, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword: “And I am indeed innocent, why should I prove it? Junior Brother Chu, if you doubt me, why not battle with me to see if you can kill me to avenge Fang Bu Yuan.”

Chu Xisheng indeed planned to take action.

This person indeed specialized in the Nine Palace Sky Instant Sword, but that proved nothing.

Their ‘Formless Skill’ could simulate ninety-nine percent of the world’s Cultivation Techniques.

This person could very well use ‘Formless Skill’ as the foundation, while learning other swordsmanship inherences.

Chu Xisheng felt this very deeply.

Simply because there were too many traitors around him.

From a distance, Zhou Liangchen, with a gloomy face, asked in confusion, “Why didn’t Fang Bu Yuan use colorful fireworks for help when he was in danger? And why didn’t you take action to intercept the assassin at that time?”

“How would I know?” Leng Chanra shook his head slightly, his tone cold: “Perhaps it was too late to set off the fireworks. I didn’t intercept because that person was far more powerful than me, and they had seized Fang Bu Yuan’s Void Magical Artifact, which included several treasures that I was very wary of.”

He looked coldly at Chu Xisheng, “Fang Bu Yuan was extremely smart and very afraid of death, and he was also very wealthy. The items he prepared for self-protection were not ordinary. Even if your Five-tailed Wind Beast had encountered them, it would definitely have died!”

Thinking back on Jian Cangfeng’s assessment of Fang Bu Yuan, Chu Xisheng knew that the words of Leng Chanra were mostly true.

He still couldn’t dispel his doubts and half-closed his phoenix eyes and said, “I wonder, Brother Leng, could you allow me to search your body?”

Leng Chanra might have hidden that Void Magical Artifact somewhere else.

This wasn’t to deceive them, but to trick the Formless Divine Sect.

Chu Xisheng knew that this Leng Chanra had once been listed on the Qingyun General List. Although he had come off the list due to nearly being eighteen years old, his strength had grown even more profound and difficult to gauge.

In the upper stages of Sixth Grade, Leng Chanra was undoubtedly among the top.

With the items left by Fang Bu Yuan, this man could almost be invincible in the Secret Realm.

The problem was, if he exposed these items, afterward he would inevitably face extreme persecution from the Formless Divine Sect.

Chu Xisheng knew the likelihood of finding that Void Magical Artifact on Leng Chanra was slim, but he still wanted to search.

Maybe he could find some clues.

And just as he finished speaking, Chu Ming, accompanied by two Daoist assistants, Chu Shan and Chu Shi, walked out from the dense forest to the south.

Her expression cold and suspicious, she asked, “Brother Leng, I also want to know whether that Void Magical Artifact of Brother Fang Bu Yuan is hidden on your person?”

“Indeed!”

At this moment, two young men also emerged from the northern direction,

One of whom was about twenty years old, with a jujube-red face, silkworm eyebrows, triangular eyes, and a gall-like nose.

His hand pressed on the sword at his waist, his Sword Intent icy, directly pointing at Leng Chanra, “From the injuries on Junior Brother Fang, this was clearly a deeply profound swordsmanship, indicating he definitely wasn’t killed by a beast of the Secret Realm.

Here, within a hundred miles, the most suspicious person is Junior Brother Leng. We can only eliminate your suspicion if we determine that the item is not on your person.”

That moment, the veins on Leng Chanra’s hand gripping the sword bulged,

and his eyes grew even colder.
