106: Cleverly Seizing (Part 1)

A cold wind blew through the back mountain.

Chen Xian instantly vanished from where he stood.

Swish!

Yang Han also drew his blade in a split second.

But the moment he drew it, Chen Xian had already appeared before him.

Bang!

The moment their blades clashed.

Sparks flew in all directions.

While the two were locked in fierce combat.

Countless dark shadows appeared on the back mountain.

"Night Fiend, you saw it too, right?"

"Yeah! Many people are keeping an eye on the Young Lord!"

"Entering the Marquis Jubeis Residence without permission!"

"Kill them all without mercy!"

On the back mountain, Chen Xian and Yang Han were in the heat of battle.

Zhao Hu, Night Fiend, and the others revealed their killing intent.

For a full fifteen minutes.

Chen Xian and Yang Han both stood panting in place.

Sweat dripped from Yang Han's forehead.

"Young Lord, you're the first Qi Refinement Stage practitioner who could push me to this extent!"

He was just a step away from using his trump card today.

Otherwise, the Young Lord's great sword would have come crashing down on his head!

Chen Xian simply smiled.

He had used all his strength and played all his trump cards.

Only then could he push a Golden Core Stage expert to such a degree.

Ten rounds were already close to his limit.

It seems I need to become even stronger.

Tonight's seclusion is inevitable!

Coming down from the back mountain.

Chen Xian saw corpses all along the way.

"Has everything been cleaned up?"

"Yes!"

"Who were they?"

"They were sent by various Marquis residences, and some came from the Capital!"

A cold sneer appeared on Chen Xian's face.

His fight with Yang Han today wasn't just on a whim.

Nor was it a simple spar.

First, it was to see where his limits were, so he'd know what to expect when entering the Sword Tomb.

Second, it was to take the opportunity to see how many spies had infiltrated the residence.

It was time for Zhao Hu and the others to do a cleanup.

Otherwise, people would really think he was a soft target.

Until late at night.

Chen Xian was in his study flipping through ancient books.

There were many legends about the Sword Tomb, and quite a few people had entered it.

What the Sword Tomb inside this sword casket was actually like.

Chen Xian really didn't know.

He either had to go in and see for himself or rely on the System's intelligence.

But before that, he felt it was better to read more.

At least he'd be somewhat prepared.

[Ding! Daily Intelligence has been refreshed!]

[Daily Intelligence 1: If you want to go to the Sword Tomb, bringing Zhou Duoer will yield different rewards!]

Holy crap?

Bringing Zhou Duoer?

Right now, Zhou Duoer has only undergone preliminary Body Refining!

Bringing her along would be a complete burden, wouldn't it?

But remembering that the System never made mistakes, Chen Xian felt he should just obediently bring her along!

Besides Zhou Duoer, there were also Da Huang and the Moon Demon.

They should be enough to make up for the little burden that was Zhou Duoer.

Chen Xian continued reading.

[Daily Intelligence 2: The Ye Family Old Ancestor's blazing dragon bone was stolen. The thief hid it in the innermost room on the right side of Juxian Tower's third floor; it is currently unoccupied!]

blazing dragon bone!

Of course, Chen Xian remembered this.

But it was delayed because the Lake Bottom Secret Realm opened early.

He didn't expect this blazing dragon bone to still be around.

Especially that someone actually dared to steal from the Ye Family.

They were truly audacious.

But a cold sneer appeared on Chen Xian's face.

You stole the blazing dragon bone, so I'll just steal it from you.

Without delay, he quickly changed into night-traveling clothes, put on a mask, and swiftly vanished.

But on the way, he continued looking at the System panel.

[Daily Intelligence 3: On the fourth floor of Juxian Tower, the Crimson Flame Sect has just acquired the flames of the Crimson Flame Qilin from the Beast Forest. The Crimson Flame Sect's Child of Luck, Xiao Chen, intends to secretly take it back to the North Continent!]

Beast Forest!

Crimson Flame Qilin?

He had the memories of his original body.

The Crimson Flame Qilin is a Yao Beast from the depths of the Beast Forest.

Its strength is likely above the Nascent Soul stage, incomparably powerful.

He didn't expect the Crimson Flame Sect to quietly sneak into the North Continent and hunt this great demon!

They must have taken advantage of everyone's attention being on the Lake Bottom Secret Realm to sneak in under the radar.

But this kind of flame...

Even Chen Xian was drooling!

No, how could I miss out on such a good thing?

I have to find a way to get it!

At this thought, a plan formed in his mind.

Inside Juxian Tower.

After entering, Chen Xian directly tossed out a bag of Spirit Stones.

"Third floor, find me a room!"

"Right away, please follow me!"

Originally, Juxian Tower didn't allow specific room requests.

But the manager had no choice but to comply.

Because Chen Xian had given too much.

He personally led Chen Xian to a room on the second floor.

"Honored guest, are you satisfied with this room?"

Chen Xian walked in with a pretense, looking around.

"If you're satisfied, I'll take my leave!"

"Wait, why is there blood here?"

"Huh?"

The manager's heart skipped a beat.

He was the newly appointed manager of Juxian Tower.

It wouldn't be good if a customer filed a complaint.

But as he stepped inside, he felt a wave of heat rushing from behind.

Boom!

The manager, Yang Yun, crossed his arms to block the heatwave.

At the same time, he said coldly, "Your Excellency, by attacking in Juxian Tower, aren't you taking this place too lightly?"

Chen Xian sneered and said, "I have no choice, I was forced into this!"

"I am the Crimson Flame Sect's Prodigy, Xiao Chen. I came here today to hunt down an enemy. If you help me open that door inside, I can spare your life!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yang Yun snorted coldly.

"I'd like to see just how ruthless you can be!"

Chen Xian wore a triumphant sneer.

He didn't continue attacking Yang Yun.

Instead, he flickered and dashed out.

His speed was so fast that Yang Yun was stunned.

"Not good!"

In the magnificent corridors and lobby of Juxian Tower, a fire dragon came roaring out.

Boom!

Although the flames didn't cause any casualties, they certainly grabbed everyone's attention.

"Stop right there!"

Chen Xian's speed was extremely fast.

Yang Yun pursued relentlessly until several other cultivating guardians of Juxian Tower appeared.

"Manager Yang, what happened?"

"Someone is causing trouble."

"It's the Crimson Flame Sect's Prodigy, Xiao Chen. Immediately look up information on the Crimson Flame Sect, and protect the innermost room on the third floor. That man's target is there!"

The guardian Elders of Juxian Tower were deployed.

The guests staying at Juxian Tower found it quite novel.

"Someone actually dares to cause trouble in Juxian Tower; they really aren't afraid of death!"

"I don't know who it is, but this guy's courage is commendable!"

"People from the Crimson Flame Sect have come to the North Continent too? Why didn't we know?"

While everyone was gossiping.

Chen Xian had already changed his clothes and his face.

Concealing his aura, he sat in the dining hall of Juxian Tower.

Holding a cup of immortal wine, no one could tell he was the arrogant arsonist from just moments ago.

Of course, he wasn't sitting here just to show off.

His eyes quickly scanned everyone in the room.

Until he saw a woman rise from the hall with a panicked expression and walk quickly in a certain direction.

Chen Xian gave a crooked smile.

Damn, she took the bait!
