42: Nobody is simple!

"Who's there?"

In the darkness, a demonic cultivator stood up alertly, but in the next second...

A flash of sword light pierced through his body.

Chen Xian was like a phantom in the dark night.

He vanished from the spot once more.

"Damn it, Elder, we have to go!"

The demonic cultivator closest to Lin Xiangzhong stood up in horror, just about to help him leave.

But in the next second...

His head was completely separated from his shoulders!

Lin Xiangzhong was not as panicked as his subordinates. Instead, as if accepting his fate, he stood up and asked calmly, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! I thought I had no more trump cards left. Does Your Excellency still intend to be sneaky and refuse to show yourself?"

Under the moonlight...

Chen Xian's figure slowly appeared before them.

The moment he saw the man's face clearly, a shocked expression actually appeared on Lin Xiangzhong's usually calm old face.

"It's actually you!"

He had felt that there was something off about this kid Chen Xian.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case!

"Alright, Elder Lin, I'll ask and you'll answer!"

"With just you, you also..."

Puchi!

Chen Xian slit the throat of the demonic cultivator next to him with a single stroke.

"If you say anything useless, then your end will be just like his!"

The demonic cultivator next to him not only had a dumbfounded expression on his face, but even a hint of grievance.

It was as if he were saying: You're asking him, why the hell did you stab me!

"Ask then!"

"I know what you're thinking right now. You think that a mere playboy like me has no right to be so rude to you!"

"Or perhaps, you want to stall for time and take the opportunity to finish me off!"

Chen Xian snapped his fingers!

A blood-colored Formation suddenly appeared beneath Lin Xiangzhong's feet!

"Bloodthirsty Great Array!"

Lin Xiangzhong wasn't surprised when Chen Xian spoke his inner thoughts. Even when his subordinates were all killed, Lin Xiangzhong remained as steady as an old dog, confident he had a chance to turn the tables.

But after seeing this Bloodthirsty Great Array...

He truly couldn't keep his composure anymore!

This was the final trump card of the demonic cultivators in Jubei City.

Why was it also in this man's hands?

Especially, how could the Bloodthirsty Great Array be so easily controlled by this man?

After seeing the change in the man's expression...

Chen Xian knew that he had completely extinguished his last hope.

Therefore, he said with a cold sneer, "Now, can you tell the truth?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Since when have you been a demonic cultivator?"

Lin Xiangzhong hesitated for a moment before finally speaking slowly, "From the very beginning, I was one!"

"What?"

This time it was Chen Xian's turn to be surprised.

He thought Lin Xiangzhong was the type who was seduced by demonic cultivators halfway through his cultivation and then joined their camp.

But now it seemed that was not the case.

"It seems we viewed you too simply."

For so many years, Lin Xiangzhong's status in Jubei City had been pivotal.

Even his own Cheap Old Father had treated him with courtesy many times.

Who would have thought that this man of respected status in Jubei City was actually a demonic cultivator.

Lin Xiangzhong sneered and said, "There are no simple characters in Jubei City! Chen Xian, do you really think you have a Physique that is unable to cultivate?"

Hearing this, Chen Xian was momentarily stunned.

Wait, there's gossip about me involved in this?

"What do you mean by that?"

Lin Xiangzhong showed a strange smile.

"You will understand in the future!"

"Chen Xian, the gears of fate will eventually turn. When that time comes, you will know the answer."

"What?"

Chen Xian saw Lin Xiangzhong's sudden, frantic smile.

He immediately formed hand seals.

He wanted to use the Formation to control the other party.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiangzhong was bent on dying at this moment and directly self-detonated.

"Damn it!"

Chen Xian looked at the blood mist in front of him.

He felt somewhat conflicted in his heart.

Judging from Lin Xiangzhong's tone and expression just now...

This guy didn't seem to be making things up!

He didn't have a Physique that was unable to cultivate!

Then how did he become a waste?

Was he plotted against by someone?

Or was it something else?

At present, Lin Xiangzhong was dead.

He had no way to verify it.

Just then, he saw the Bloodthirsty Great Array on the ground quickly absorbing the blood mist in the air until it was completely clean.

At the same time, he also felt that his connection with the Bloodthirsty Great Array seemed to have become a bit stronger.

Tsk!

Chen Xian picked up a broken storage ring from the ground.

His Divine Sense probed inside!

Fortunately, Lin Xiangzhong's storage ring was still there, and there were some Medicinal Pills inside.

He hadn't come all this way for nothing.

Late at night!

His figure vanished from the spot!

At the same time...

The battle in the back garden had entered its final stages.

Although there were many demonic cultivators and they had launched a surprise attack...

It caused heavy losses to the Cultivators of the North and South Provinces.

But it wasn't to the point of total annihilation. The Cultivators of these two provinces fought back decisively after reacting.

By now, the demonic cultivators in the back garden had been completely cleared out.

"Reporting to the General, we still haven't found him!"

Chen Buyu slammed his palm heavily onto the stone table.

"Keep looking for me, search thoroughly. If he's alive I want to see him, if he's dead I want to see his corpse!"

He had only just reunited with his Great Nephew.

If he died, how could he have the face to face his Elder brother in the afterlife!

At the thought of this, a sense of irritability welled up in him.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who couldn't find anyone.

Zhang Qingxue's expression wasn't very good either.

Her closed-door disciple had actually disappeared as well.

If she was taken away by demonic cultivators, it would definitely become a scandal for the Yaochi Immortal Palace.

Their Sect would also become quite famous for the wrong reasons!

As for Liu Ruyan, she was constantly rummaging through the corpses on the ground.

"Impossible, Chen Xian, how could you possibly die!"

She had just seen the high-spirited look of this man; how could he have died right here?

Li Yu shared the same thoughts.

Although she wasn't as frantic as Liu Ruyan, Li Yu's heart indeed didn't feel good, and she was even filled with heavy worries!

"Pass down the order. In Jubei City, as long as they are our people, there is only one mission now: find Chen Xian. After finding him, do not harm him and report to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Li Xun saw his usually calm sister had actually become anxious and restless.

He immediately said with a smile, "You couldn't have fallen in love with Chen Xian, have you?"

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat.

However, she still said very stubbornly, "How is that possible!"

As if feeling these words weren't decisive enough...

Li Yu continued, "I just don't want him to die because of me. After all, it's a human life; it would be a pity if he died!"

Hiss!

Li Xun looked at his sister with a beaming smile.

"Is this still the sister who would rather fail the world than let the world fail her!"

Although he was cold-blooded and heartless, compared to Li Yu, he was truly nothing.

It was precisely because of Li Yu's cold-bloodedness that even her royal siblings felt a strong sense of crisis; she wouldn't even show mercy to her own brothers and sisters.

Now, saying it was a pity for a human life in front of him...

This simply made Li Xun mistakenly think his sister had been subjected to Possession!

Just then...

A weak voice came from a distance.

"I saw Zi Yun and Chen Xian. They... they were both taken away by demonic cultivators!"
