40: Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell

Inside the back garden, the scene was deathly silent.

Everyone looked at the scene before them in a daze, and someone couldn't help but say, "Is this for real?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that this profligate son of Jubei City, this useless playboy, actually kicked the Young Master of Tianqi Sect flying."

"I can't believe it either!"

Meanwhile, the moment Wang Li hit the ground, the physical pain was no longer significant.

What truly made him feel miserable was the psychological humiliation!

Also, why was the flow of Spiritual Qi in his body obstructed just now?

What was going on?

"Damned ant!"

Wang Li was just about to continue circulating his Spiritual Qi when, in the next second, he directly looked up and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Pfft!

"Chen Xian, how dare you! You actually poisoned Young Master Wang!"

Zhao Beishan was the first to jump out and shout at this moment!

Since you set me up earlier, I must set you up now.

However, Chen Xian decisively pointed at Lin Xiangzhong nearby.

"This has nothing to do with me; it was clearly the Medicinal Pill given by Old Lin. Oh no..."

Chen Xian's face turned pale, and he also spat out a large mouthful of blood.

He collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned toward Lin Xiangzhong. Although he was a Sixth-Rank Alchemist of Jubei City with a noble status,

that didn't mean he could poison two people at will, especially since neither of them had simple identities.

Lin Xiangzhong felt the hostility and suspicion coming from all sides.

He immediately clenched his fists tightly and raised his hand.

"Dammit!"

"Do it!"

In an instant!

Countless dark shadows appeared from all directions of the back garden, charging frantically toward the crowd to slaughter them.

One second the people in the back garden were watching the show, but in the next, a group of people was charging at them to kill.

Zhang Qingxue was the first to react.

"Everyone be careful, they're Demonic Cultivators!"

"Defend quickly!"

For a time, screams echoed throughout the back garden.

Although Chen Buyu, Liu Ruyan, and the others were besieged by Demonic Cultivators, they were also desperately trying to close in on where Chen Xian was lying on the ground.

Li Yu and Zi Yun were the first to charge forward.

However, none of them saw Chen Xian!

"Damn it, where is Chen Xian?"

"I don't know!"

"Find him quickly!"

As for now, Chen Xian was already wearing a black robe and had quietly left the Jubei Marquiss Residence!

Whew!

Finally escaped.

He immediately rushed toward the Pill Refining Pavilion at full speed.

Damn it, this Demon Extermination Assembly turned out like this. Not only was he frantically provoked by Zhao Zheng, but a Second Uncle also appeared to protect him! He even got involved with the imperial family.

Chen Xian finally understood why Li Yu could obtain spirit ginseng grass for him so effortlessly.

As a member of the Da Gan Dynasty's imperial family, the entire North Continent was their territory.

What could they not get if they wanted it?

He only hoped this woman would keep her promise; after all, he had helped her drive away her fiancé!

On the outskirts of the Pill Refining Pavilion, Chen Xian didn't hesitate and stepped inside.

But as soon as he entered the entrance of the Pill Refining Pavilion, he was stopped by two people.

"Stop! The Pill Refining Pavilion is a restricted area; no one may enter or leave at will!"

Chen Xian said with a serious face, "I was sent back by Elder Lin. We don't have enough people lying in ambush there; everyone needs to go over!"

"That's not right. They took Old Lin's Demonic Pill; they shouldn't have any strength to resist, right?"

"Old Lin is exposed! And this time, the Young Master of Tianqi Sect came too, along with the Seventh Princess and the Fourteenth Prince. They're all big fish. Elder Lin sent me to rush back and report. If we succeed this time, we can catch many big fish!"

Combined with Chen Xian's panting and dusty appearance,

the two of them didn't suspect a thing!

One of them pressed a mechanism on the side!

A secret passage immediately appeared in the main hall on the first floor.

"Everyone, come out quickly! Everyone, head to the Jubei Marquiss Residence. There are big fish in the back garden!"

Once these words were spoken,

the group of Demonic Cultivators rushed out frantically.

"Jie jie jie, looks like there's a tough battle ahead!"

"How big can the big fish be?"

Chen Xian said solemnly, "The Young Master of Tianqi Sect and members of the imperial family!"

"Holy crap, if we catch them, we Demonic Cultivators will definitely become famous in one battle!"

"Everyone, charge!"

This group of chaos-seekers instantly disappeared into the night.

In front of Chen Xian, only the Demonic Cultivator who had just spoken remained.

"You, why aren't you going?"

Chen Xian suddenly revealed a cold sneer.

"If I go, who will kill you?"

Just as he finished speaking,

the Demonic Cultivator's throat had already been slit by him.

He collapsed to the ground.

As for Chen Xian, he stepped toward the Underground Palace of the Pill Refining Pavilion.

According to the intelligence,

there is Ancient Demonic Elephant blood here.

How could he let Ye Wentian get such a good thing!

Chen Xian walked down cautiously.

He saw a pool of bright red blood floating in the air within a Formation in the center of the Underground Palace.

Holy crap!

How do I handle this?

He remembered the intelligence saying that Ye Wentian used its blood to cleanse the elephant bone sword!

He picked up the elephant bone sword at his waist.

The blood floating in the air seemed to have seen something delightful,

and it rushed frantically toward the elephant bone sword.

In an instant,

the blade of the elephant bone sword turned blood-red.

Chen Xian was also forced back dozens of steps by the stench of this bloody Evil Qi.

Only then did he manage to steady himself.

The System's voice rang in his mind.

"[Ding! Today's Intelligence System has been updated!]"

"[Daily Intelligence 1: The Formation beneath the Pill Refining Pavilion's Underground Palace is the Heaven Rank Bloodthirsty Great Array. A drop of blood can make it recognize its master!]"

Chen Xian subconsciously looked toward the ground.

He found that it was indeed blood-red beneath the Formation. Using blood as a guide, it was called the Bloodthirsty Great Array; this certainly fit the style of Demonic Cultivators.

Bind with a drop of blood?

Chen Xian hesitated slightly.

This thing wouldn't have any side effects and backfire on me, would it?

But Chen Xian had a second thought.

Damn it, only a fool would pass up a freebie.

If there's really a problem, I can find Chen Buyu and Zi Yun to solve it. Besides, I still have Li Yu as a trump card.

Even if he wanted to die now, these people wouldn't let him.

Thinking of this,

Chen Xian bit his finger.

Damn it, let's do it!

He dripped the blood onto the Formation.

The Bloodthirsty Great Array instantly dissipated into the air.

At the same time,

Chen Xian felt a subtle connection form between him and the Formation.

Got it!

He looked at the elephant bone sword suspended in the air.

The once jade-white elephant bone sword had now gradually turned blood-red.

It looked somewhat sinister.

Don't worry about that for now.

He took the sword and quickly walked out of the Underground Palace.

This is no place to linger!

However, he still swept up everything inside the Pill Refining Pavilion.

Only then did he leave in a hurry.

As he left,

he continued looking at the System interface as he walked!

"[Daily Intelligence 2: Lin Xiangzhong is heavily injured and hiding in the Underground Palace of the back garden!]"

Chen Xian revealed a cold sneer.

Heh, this Old Fogey really knows how to find a spot.

However, since he's heavily injured, shouldn't I finish him off!
