Chapter 720: Chapter 314: Unexpected (Please Subscribe)_4

When Chu Xisheng sheathed his blade, he turned his head with a puzzled expression and glanced at Ren Zhongshou.

“Brother Ren, what were you about to say just now?”

The corner of Ren Zhongshou’s lips twitched, then he forced a laugh, “Nothing, you continue, continue!”

He could see that Chu Xisheng intended to kill Yun Tiange and wasn’t about to give him the chance to plead for mercy.

Ren Zhongshou knew better than to argue with Chu Xisheng over a dead man.

The only one to blame was Yun Tiange himself for not being aware of the situation, failing to see through Chu Xisheng’s feigned weakness to lure the enemy.

During that brief combat earlier, Yun Tiange had charged in too recklessly, almost reaching the turtle’s back, putting Zhoou Liangchen and others in danger from both sides.

He didn’t even know how to go with the flow!

However, Chu Xisheng—

Ren Zhongshou fixed his gaze on Chu Xisheng’s figure, a complex expression appearing in his eyes.

This guy was excessively powerful!

Even the Dominating Martial King of the past was no more than this.

If this person hadn’t fallen and successfully mastered the Vengeance Blade, the future Guiyuan Sword Sect would likely have to bow to his blade, trembling in fear.

He absolutely couldn’t let this person obtain the “Heaven and Earth Root” to transform his talent!

After twenty breaths, the echoing roars within the cave gradually subsided.

The battle here had ended ten breaths earlier.

The last person Chu Xisheng killed was a disciple of Blood Bat Mountain, who had almost escaped a hundred feet away, nearly breaking free from Tai Chu Xuan Nu’s golden ropes.

As Chu Xisheng sheathed his blade, he looked up.

The Divine Grace Mark of Tai Chu Xuan Nu was still golden, and the purple patterns on it hadn’t diminished but increased, though the spirit light of the Divine Grace Mark had dimmed, losing its former prominence.

Chu Xisheng slightly raised the corner of his mouth. There were indeed benefits to being favored by the gods.

Without Tai Chu Xuan Nu’s Divine Grace, he might have had trouble dealing with these people.

Chu Xisheng then quickly returned to the Xuanwu Turtle’s back.

He saw Fang Bu Yuan not far away, blinking his eyes expectantly at him.

Chu Xisheng clicked his tongue, reluctantly tossing a dirt-yellow ring over.

It was Fang Bu Yuan’s “Kunyuan Spirit Ring.”

This item had been on the Thunder Body of the Ancient Sword, picked up by Chu Xisheng in passing.

Who wouldn’t want a Void Magical Artifact? Not to mention, the ring contained a large number of silver notes and various treasures.

If this item wasn’t from a fellow sect member, he certainly would have forcibly kept it!

Fang Bu Yuan’s expression relaxed, joy appearing in his eyes, “Thanks a lot! I’ll be sure to set up a feast to thank you, Junior Brother Chu.”

He immediately took the Kunyuan Spirit Ring, concentrating to sense the space inside.

Fang Bu Yuan’s joy grew stronger.

Thankfully the Ancient Sword couldn’t open the ring, so nothing inside was missing.

Fang Bu Yuan then sensed a copper coin and a blackish silver ingot lying quietly in a corner of the space.

His heart, previously in his throat, finally settled.

These were his lifeblood; he could part with the Kunyuan Spirit Ring, but not these two items.

Behind Fang Bu Yuan, Leng Chanra stood with hands on his sword, coldly taunting, “How pathetic, getting played by a lowlife scum. Father, you were supposed to lead and protect, but instead, it took Junior Brother Chu to retrieve your treasures. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Chu Xisheng felt a different kind of feeling listening to their conversation.

Was this self-mockery?

However, some Divine Splitting techniques did result in different personalities, like split personalities.

His own Nine Wheel Divine Chart was similar, dividing into nine characters: evil, wicked, submerged, miasma, greed, hate, doubt, lust, fear.

Fortunately, this dharma gate had been improved by Blood Vengeance Blade Lord and Qin Muge, ensuring strict control over the divided Primordial Spirits, with minimal side effects.

Chu Xisheng, hands behind his back, smiled slightly, “No need for a feast, just remember your promise, Brother.”

The corner of Fang Bu Yuan’s mouth twitched. He had spent a considerable fortune persuading Chu Xisheng to help retrieve the Kunyuan Spirit Ring.

Firstly, he had to buy this set of loaned magical artifacts on him at market price, with nine to thirteen return interest.

Then, he had to give Chu Xisheng a tenth of the items inside the Kunyuan Spirit Ring.

But there was no other choice; he had lost the Kunyuan Spirit Ring.

A pity Chu Xisheng wasn’t interested in this, or he could have been a ruthless merchant.

“Deal! I’ll give it to you back at the sect. My ring has too many items, you can’t carry it.”

Fang Bu Yuan casually sent out a vigorous force, storing all the luggage bags on the Little Xuanwu Turtle Snake into his sleeve, “These artifacts are yours too. I guarantee I can sell them at market price with just a ten percent commission.”

So, the items he handed to Chu Xisheng could partially be recovered by this method.

As he collected, he couldn’t help but regret.

Chu Xisheng had sacrificed too many items to War God Li Tan.

But there was no choice; without the Kunyuan Spirit Ring, he could only watch in despair.

Fang Bu Yuan then glared at the group on the turtle’s back, “Why are you all standing around? Start collecting the items! The artifacts and belongings on those people are worth a lot.”

“There’s no rush.” Wang Xizhu raised an eyebrow, clasping his fists, “Given the situation, shouldn’t you two offer us an explanation?”

Xuee Tingyou also clasped his hands, “Gentlemen, I’d like to know what’s going on too.”

Not just the couple, everyone present looked at Fang Bu Yuan with curiosity.

“What else could it be? Just a traitor in our Formless Divine Sect. The only thing is, this one’s quite powerful, at the Super Heavenly Pillar Level.”

Fang Bu Yuan scoffed, continuing to collect the luggage bags on the turtle’s back, “When I entered the first layer of the Secret Realm, he used three Third Grade Earth Evil Jade Talismans against me: one ‘Stealing Heaven and Changing Day’ to steal my Kunyuan Spirit Ring; one ‘Divine Prohibited Thought’ to seal my Spiritual Sense; one ‘Divine Essence Qi Seal’ to restrict my True Yuan, then killed me within a hundred breaths. Fortunately, my main soul could transfer to my secondary body, with a special bloodline to turn death into life, otherwise, I’d be done for.”

“I see!” Fierce Sword Guo Nu’s expression relaxed, “No wonder I thought someone of Brother Fang’s prowess wouldn’t fall so easily. So today, the two of you set this trap because you couldn’t be sure whether it was me or Ancient Sword who was the true culprit?”

Fang Bu Yuan gave a slight nod, his voice full of emotion, “I suspected one of you but couldn’t confirm it. When entering the second layer of the Secret Realm, my main body once left the ice coffin using the Void Traversing Method to check on Chu Ming, finding you, Ancient Sword, Chu Shan, and Chu Shi all unmoved in place.

Later, I had a brief confrontation with the true culprit midway. I realized then that the true culprit had mastered Avatar Transformation, making them hard to kill. Worse yet, I couldn’t identify them, so I even doubted Junior Brother Chu, driven by greed.

Upon entering the third layer, things became more complex as the culprit could exit the Secret Realm anytime. If they took the Kunyuan Spirit Ring out, it would be the end for me. Fortunately, Junior Brother Chu came forward to discuss openly a few days ago, otherwise, I would have suffered greatly—”

Just as he was speaking, Chu Xisheng’s expression suddenly changed, looking toward the cave.

He noticed the giant demon in the Divine Stone Pit moving towards a Six Curves Time Trace Grass.

Chu Xisheng’s gaze hardened, “Please help collect the items, I’ll go ahead.”

He spoke, his silhouette flashing, flying towards the Divine Stone Pit like a streak of light.
