248: A powerful kick to the gut!

"Big Brother Chen, I have a question I don't know if I should ask."

Bai Jun looked at Chen Heng, who was peering into the large hole, with a strange expression.

"Just say whatever you want to say, then get to work."

Chen Heng turned his head to look at Bai Jun's strange expression.

"If you can punch a hole in a wall, why did you move the entire national treasury just now?"

"Aren't you tired?"

Bai Jun wasn't the only one who wanted to ask this question; the others also wanted to.

However, they didn't dare to speak up due to Chen Heng's intimidating presence.

"You're a Cultivator, after all. Couldn't you sense a very powerful aura approaching the Imperial Palace?"

Chen Heng looked at them in surprise, finding that they all shook their heads.

"Moreover, that aura was very strange, like four auras merged into one."

"Not only that, but that aura was much stronger than the Demon Emperor's, very similar to the Wutong God from before..."

"Oh right, it must be the Grand State Preceptor."

Chen Heng hit his palm, suddenly remembering the Grand State Preceptor Zhu Hongying had mentioned earlier.

"That old guy is probably not to be trifled with. You guys hurry up and get everything out."

Hearing this, their expressions immediately changed, and their hearts pounded.

Even Chen Heng said the guy was not to be trifled with, so he could probably swat them all dead with one slap.

Without another word, they grabbed their snake skin pouches and drilled into the big hole.

Chen Heng stayed outside, constantly vigilant for the arrival of pursuers.

Luo Shuo, to accommodate Chen Heng, had always slowed his speed to match his frequency.

So, although they had run quite far, there was still a risk of being caught up to at any moment.

"Holy crap!"

"What is this?"

"My eyes!"

"So! So big!"

"Mmm~ It smells so good..."

Exclamations occasionally came from the national treasury, making Chen Heng's heart itch.

"Damn it, you guys hurry up!" After a few more minutes, Chen Heng finally couldn't stand their shouting and yelled into the big hole.

"Okay! Got it!" Luo Shuo's voice echoed in the large hole.

"Holy cow! Big Brother Chen, you have no idea how many treasures are in here!"

Then came Bai Jun, his voice trembling.

"How do I feel like the amount of treasures in this national treasury can rival two True Immortal Sects!"

"Whoo-hoo! There's even Sword Immortal Ginseng here! The one in True Immortal Sect is only occasionally used by the Sect Leader to make tea!"

"A whole box! A whole box!"

"Hahahahahahaha! We're rich! We're rich!"

Not only was Bai Jun shouting, but even the usually calm siblings Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang were shouting.

Including Luo Shuo, these few were as excited as mice in a rice bin.

"Hurry up! Someone's catching up!"

Chen Heng no longer bothered to complain about them and stood up, looking at the distant sky.

The national treasury was simply too large; even if they tried their best to pack it, they wouldn't finish in a short while.

"Alright, then let's see how strong you, the Grand State Preceptor, are."

Taking off his black coat, Chen Heng stood up.

His body expanded at a visible speed, and the three Bloodlines were activated simultaneously!

The Evil Dragon Demonic Body opened, black scales covered his entire body, and a black Dragon tail grew from his tailbone.

"You monster! Return my national treasury!"

The voice arrived before the person!

A figure roughly the same size as him flew straight towards Chen Heng.

"If you have the ability, come and get it!"

Chen Heng naturally wouldn't return the national treasury to him; there was no reason to return something already in hand.

Unlike Chang Yutian's method of flying through the air, Chen Heng charged up purely by brute force.

The two collided in mid-air!

Chen Heng delivered a powerful kick to Chang Yutian's chest, instantly shattering his ribs.

A sonic boom sounded, and Chang Yutian, like a cannonball, tore through the air and flew back in the direction of the Jade Fan Kingdom Imperial Palace.

"...?"

Chen Heng, who had landed again, looked confusedly at Chang Yutian, who had disappeared into the sky.

"So weak..."

Completely different from what Chen Heng had imagined, he had expected this to be a fierce and satisfying battle.

But Chang Yutian's body was simply too frail, even weaker than Chen Heng was before he advanced to Xiantian Grandmaster.

"This little wimp tried to act tough with me."

Chen Heng spat, returning to his normal size.

As soon as his front foot landed, Bai Jun and the others rushed out in a hurry.

"Big Brother Chen, we're done. What happened just now?"

Bai Jun looked at the empty surroundings, searching for the source of that terrifying aura.

"Let's go, it's nothing." Chen Heng waved his hand, putting his coat, which was on the ground, back on.

"?" Bai Jun, Snake Green, Zhu Ri, Zhu Chang, and Luo Shuo.

Although the five of them didn't know what had happened, it was definitely not as understated as Chen Heng made it sound.

Just sensing that aura had sent shivers down their spines, let alone facing it directly.

"Why are you standing there, let's go."

Chen Heng frowned, were these guys stupid?

"Big Brother Chen, see if this is yours?" Bai Jun took out the corpse quelling gong and soul suppressing bell from his embrace.

"!" Chen Heng's expression froze, and he immediately took the two items.

An incredibly oppressive aura permeated the surroundings, making everyone, including Bai Jun, feel their breathing become difficult.

"Big Brother Chen, the most urgent matter is to go back and check on Uncle Chen and the others."

Bai Jun knew this was a prelude to Chen Heng's imminent outburst, but he still spoke up to persuade him.

"It's not too late to go back and confirm the safety of your family before discussing anything else."

Chen Heng took a deep breath, handed the corpse quelling gong and soul suppressing bell to Bai Jun, then raised his chin at Luo Shuo.

Luo Shuo was very quick-witted; he immediately transformed into his original form, exposing his back.

"Now, return to Qiyang City immediately. If anything happens to my family, the entire Jade Fan Kingdom will not survive."

Chen Heng's face was grim, and terrifying rage burned in his heart.

Luo Shuo flapped his wings and flew at his fastest speed towards the direction Chen Heng indicated... Just as Chen Heng was rushing towards Qiyang City, Chang Yutian also successfully returned to the Jade Fan Kingdom Imperial Palace from which he had departed.

After crashing through an unknown number of city walls, he finally stopped, covered in blood.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of dark blood spurted from his mouth, and Chang Yutian pushed away the rubble pressing on him and stood up.

Casually grabbing a servant who was cleaning the surroundings, Chang Yutian opened his mouth wide and swallowed him.

The surrounding servants witnessed all this and were so terrified that they trembled, wanting to scream.

But before they could make a sound, the rakshasa god corpse on Chang Yutian's arm opened its eyes.

In an instant, those few people inexplicably turned into a pile of minced meat, which was then sucked into Chang Yutian's stomach.

"This monster seems to have gotten stronger again?"

Touching his chest, which had recovered as before, Chang Yutian's face was grim.

That monster's speed of getting stronger was too fast, and it had stolen the key to the Hundred Corpse Tomb; this was troublesome now...
