Chapter 574: Chapter 406: Yang Transformation Assassination, Daoist Appears (Not to be Missed)_3

“Brother Chen, could it be that Dragon Lock River contains some unknown treasures?” Ye Chenbai asked half-jokingly.

“Indeed, if there are any secret treasures in this place, Brother Chen, you must not forget us friends,” Shangguan Yu added.

Chen Yuan curled his lips dismissively and handed the thing in his hand to Shangguan Yu:

“Thousands of years have gone by without finding any treasures here. Could it be that I’ll find something just by going there? Brother Shangguan, you think too highly of me. I’m not the son of the heavens.”

“This is not necessarily true,” Shangguan Yu silently mused to himself.

In the beginning, he did not believe it either, but the truth had slapped him hard across the face.

“It was just a joke. However, Brother Chen, for what reason do you ask about this place?” Zhang Xuan asked with a faint smile.

“Nothing much, actually. I heard someone mention it in passing when I was passing by the East Sea before. I didn’t take it to heart at the time, but now that all affairs are concluded,

I thought about going out to sea to have a look. I’ve never seen the ocean beyond in my life, which is indeed a bit of a regret.”

“Do you believe that yourself, Brother Chen?”

Zhang Xuan said softly.

“Exactly, Brother Chen, just speak plainly. Why the secrecy?”

“Do you really want to know?”

“Of course.”

“It’s not a big deal. As I said before, if someone really wants to take action against me, it would actually suit me just fine. It’s just not good to let others know, which is why I thought about setting it overseas.”

“Since you all know now, please don’t spread this information,” Chen Yuan half-jokingly said.

“Rest assured, Brother Chen, Zhang has always been tight-lipped.”

“So is Ye.”

“I’m the same,” Shangguan Yu added.

“That’s good to hear.”

“But, Brother Chen, are you really going to do this?”

“Sometimes, troubles that are not resolved will always remain troubles. Sometimes, once they’re resolved, they’re no longer troubles,” Chen Yuan said, his gaze becoming solemn as he looked forward.

…

…

In the end, Chen Yuan still left. Originally, Zhang Xuan and Shangguan Yu had wanted to face any potential ambush with him, but he refused,

and told them not to tell anyone about this.

Otherwise, they would no longer be friends in the future.

The seriousness of the situation was clear to Zhang Xuan and the others; they even considered making a blood oath right in front of Chen Yuan, but he stopped them, saying it was unnecessary.

Even if the members of the Qingyun Sword Sect did not come, it would not be a loss to him.

After all, his main goal was actually Core Formation, and killing those people in retaliation was just an extra.

After saying farewell to Ye Chenbai, they agreed to meet again in the future. Zhang Xuan planned to return to Nanling Prefecture, and Shangguan Yu was going to return to his family for seclusion as they both had a bright future ahead of them.

Carrying the Ascending Immortal Fruit, Chen Yuan left the city. Just as he stepped out, someone contacted him to disclose their identity as a member of the Taoist Divine Palace.

After some verification and confirming there was no danger, Chen Yuan told the other party about the Dragon Locking Mountain. To his surprise, they did not ask to take the Ascending Immortal Fruit from him.

He had originally thought that the Divine Palace would value the Ascending Immortal Fruit so highly that they would be eager to take it immediately.

After informing the other party, Chen Yuan did not conceal his identity too much. Of course, to mislead others, he still covered up quite a bit, but such concealment,

For an ordinary Martial Artist, it’s very hard to find.

However, for a major Jianghu sect like the Qingyun Sword Sect or the Yun Family, it’s hardly anything significant—they would have been well-prepared if they truly wanted to kill him.

And he, Chen Yuan, wanted to take this opportunity to fully understand all the Daoist leaders of the Taoist Divine Palace.

He wondered… how many there were in total.

After leaving Martial Emperor City, Chen Yuan swiftly reached the mainland closest to Dragon Locking Mountain, following the path Ye Chenbai had directed him to.

For the price of ten Silver, he bought a small boat from a fisherman.

Propelled by True Yuan, it shot towards Dragon Locking Mountain like an arrow.

The journey was smooth, and within half a day, Chen Yuan arrived near Dragon Locking Mountain with the aid of the map—indeed, there was no sign of human habitation around.

Extremely remote.

Gazing at the mountain range stained blood-red in front of him, Chen Yuan stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and murmured softly,

“I’ve finally arrived.”

The Core Formation Land!

Sensing the sparse Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy nearby, Chen Yuan didn’t hesitate or show any abnormal behavior; with one step, he soared into the air and hovered over the solitary island.

The island was not large, just over ten miles across, with several peaks. He opened his Heavenly Eye and scanned inch by inch, finally discovering the long-lost Qing Qi Fortune glow at the very center of the island.

Dragon Locking Mountain!

The unremarkable peak in front of him, indistinguishable from the other mountains, was where the Qing glow was most concentrated. He surveyed the surroundings.

Chen Yuan descended slowly from the void.

The ground was hard and deep red in color, as if it had been dyed by blood.

He did not immediately go into seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough, as the process could not be disturbed—otherwise, there was a high probability of failure. It was better to take care of any trouble first.

With that thought, he scanned the area and called out loudly,

“If there are those who want to kill Chen, why hide now? This place is far from the East Sea and deserted; it’s the perfect place to make a move.”

Although he hadn’t sensed any breaths, he had an inexplicable feeling that someone was watching him from nearby.

Chen Yuan’s voice, enhanced by True Yuan, spread nearly ten thousand meters. His words echoed throughout the island.

Indeed, only three breaths after his voice fell, a hoarse voice resonated through the emptiness:

“Chen Yuan, you are known as the Demon Blade, and when you strike, you often have the aura of Powerful Energy in the shape of a dragon. This place, Dragon Suppression Mountain, is the perfect spot to suppress you, the evil dragon. You should find contentment in this fate.”

“If that’s so, then why don’t you show yourself?”

“Heh heh…” A cold voice resonated around him:

“Chen Yuan, you purposefully lured us to this place; did you really think we couldn’t see through your ruse? Yet we still came to tell you, even with all your tricks, you will not escape death today!

What you rely on is none other than Jiang He, a mere Dan Realm Master. What power does he have that we should fear? If he dares show himself today, he will certainly meet his end, both physically and spiritually!”

“Hmph, Chen Yuan, you’ve been acting fierce with Jiang He’s backing, successively executing our Yun Family’s members. These grievances must be settled thoroughly today. I will extract your soul and refine it, consigning you to eternal damnation without hope of transcendence!”

Voices rose one after another in the emptiness.

But Chen Yuan’s expression was not the least bit flustered—instead, he said calmly,

“Then what are you waiting for? I am right here—make your move!”
