47: The plan is in progress

After eating something, Chen Xian led Da Huang around the black market for a bit.

Everyone was wearing masks, so it was impossible to tell who was who.

This was one of the reasons why he could rest easy and act without restraint here.

"Hey? Have you heard? There's a hundred-thousand Spirit Stone bounty on Chen Xian!"

"Of course I heard. Colluding with Demonic Cultivators—he truly deserves it!"

Chen Xian: "???"

The man beside him looked around surreptitiously.

He said to his friend, "Do you think this Chen Xian could have run to this black market? Identities are hidden and not public here, so it'd be easy for him to find a loophole!"

"Hahahaha, don't worry, he's not an idiot. With both the Southern Continent and North Continent putting out warrants for him, how would he dare show his face? He's probably hiding somewhere, right?"

Chen Xian: "???"

Damn it, listening to these fools talk really makes one's Life Qi boil with anger!

Chen Xian led Da Huang away from the area gloomily.

Until evening came!

Under the cover of night.

Jubei City's originally prosperous and bustling scene was no longer what it used to be.

Instead, it appeared utterly desolate.

Nowadays, the Demonic Cultivators had everyone living in a state of panic!

Naturally, these people didn't want to wander around outside. If you encountered a Demonic Cultivator, it was one thing—at worst, you'd fight to the death.

But if you were mistaken for a Demonic Cultivator, that would be a truly pathetic way to die!

Right now, the most aggrieved person in Jubei City also slowly walked out of the night market.

He disappeared into the darkness!

At the same time.

Ye Wentian had already surreptitiously arrived at the Jubei City manor.

Ever since the Demon Extermination Assembly concluded that day, this place had become completely deserted.

Chen Xian wasn't here.

This had become an excellent spot for him to hold secret meetings with others.

Silently arriving at the back garden...

Ye Wentian saw a man dressed in black robes.

He stepped forward warily.

He said coldly, "The heat is on right now. Why did you call me here?"

The black-robed man said in a raspy voice, "Tonight at the Hour of the Pig, destroy the Jubei City barrier!"

Hiss!

Although Ye Wentian had allowed himself to fall, as a Prodigy of the Ye Family, he was definitely no fool.

"Destroy the barrier? What are you planning to do?"

"Demonic Cultivators cannot enter the city in large numbers!"

Hearing this, the Demonic Cultivator before him revealed a sinister smile.

"Ye Wentian, do you still think you're a man of honor?"

"The day you signed the contract with us, you became a Demonic Cultivator through and through. But don't worry, we're entering Jubei City only to take what we're meant to take!"

"What do you want?"

The Demonic Cultivator smiled without answering.

"You don't need to know that!"

He took out a sword and threw it in front of Ye Wentian.

"This is an ancient sword stained with the blood of a Devil King. It should be of help to you; as long as you carry it, it can conceal your aura and let other Demonic Cultivators know you're one of them!"

"Alright, you know what needs to be done!"

The Demonic Cultivator turned and left the area.

As for Ye Wentian, he looked at the ancient sword before him with a complex expression.

He knew exactly what this represented. If he picked it up, then the Ye Family and the Righteous Path would likely have nothing more to do with him in the future.

Just as Ye Wentian was hesitating.

A yellow figure flashed past him.

I'll be taking that!

Da Huang quickly grabbed the sword and sprinted away.

The moment Ye Wentian saw that dog.

His eyebrows practically stood on end.

Because his fate had changed precisely because of this dog.

Starting from when this dog stole his azure luan sword.

Then later being in danger within the Secret Realm.

Zi Yun took an interest in Chen Xian, and when his own coercion failed, he ended up losing an arm!

He had even been forced to submit to the tyranny of Demonic Cultivators just to survive.

Now he had become neither human nor ghost!

All of this was thanks to this beast!

I must kill it!

Enraged to the extreme, Ye Wentian sprinted in the direction Da Huang had fled.

An hour later.

He stood in the middle of a forest; looking at the pitch-black surroundings, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Damn it!

He had actually gotten lost!

Especially since he was still inside the Beast Forest, this was not good.

Fortunately, Ye Wentian took out a compass.

Relying on its guidance, he finally managed to slowly walk out of the Beast Forest.

"Woof woof woof!"

"You're asking me why I let him go?"

Chen Xian looked at Da Huang and said with a cold laugh, "Who said I let him go? I'm just letting him live a little longer."

"After all, the higher a person is held up, the more painful the fall!"

He patted Da Huang's head.

"Thanks for your hard work this time! Let's go, we still have serious business to attend to!"

With that, he picked up the ancient sword Da Huang had snatched.

With just this, one could silently join the Demonic Cultivators?

Jie jie jie!

Then he certainly knew how to use it!

Late at night!

Wang Li was currently setting up a teleportation Formation in a courtyard of the manor!

"Young Master Wang, are you really going to have the experts from the Tianqi Sect come over?"

"Chen Buyu is dead set on protecting Chen Xian, but I only want him dead!"

A distorted expression appeared on Wang Li's face.

"The root cause of the Jubei City incident lies with the Demonic Cultivators. As long as the Demonic Cultivators are wiped out, the Imperial Court won't be able to hold anyone accountable!"

"Therefore, I urgently need status and a voice right now. As for the Demonic Cultivators, they've come at just the right time."

Wang Li gave a sinister, cold laugh.

He didn't care at all about the harm Demonic Cultivators caused or how many people they would kill.

In his eyes, those people deserved to be killed; the weak should not have the right to survive.

What he wanted was Jubei City and Li Yu.

He was determined to reclaim the face he had lost in Jubei City this time.

Not only that, he also wanted to take this city for his own.

That way, he would be someone with a voice and status in the Imperial Court.

Once Li Yu saw his capabilities, she would surely change her mind!

In this way, he could not only control the Tianqi Sect in the future but even indirectly manipulate the Da Gan Dynasty!

The more Wang Li thought about it, the more excited he became.

It was as if it were all about to happen immediately.

His bright future was just around the corner.

Wu Jun was even more excited than him at this moment, because he had sided with Wang Li, and once the Tianqi Sect experts arrived...

...then even an idiot would know who called the shots in Jubei City.

"Alright, the Formation needs half an hour. Let's go to the front yard for some tea first!"

"Yes, Young Master Wang!"

After the two of them left one after the other.

Chen Xian and Da Huang surreptitiously arrived at the spot.

"Tsk, if it's a Formation, how can I move the whole thing?"

Da Huang barked twice.

It opened its large mouth directly.

The Formation in front of it was sucked directly into its stomach.

Holy crap!

Chen Xian looked at the scene before him in a daze.

No, buddy, aren't you a bit too fierce?

Da Huang let out a burp!

It looked at Chen Xian very triumphantly.

Chen Xian gave it a thumbs up.

The man and dog quickly disappeared into the night.

Deep within the Beast Forest to the north of the city.

Based on the map from the System's intelligence, Chen Xian successfully found the place where the Demonic Cultivators gathered.

There weren't many people here yet, but he accurately spotted dozens of powerful Demonic Cultivators standing guard.

"Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Chen Xian smacked his lips.

"What should I do now?"
