69: The terror of the Nascent Soul stage!
"Twenty years ago, a total of eight Demon Lords from the North Continent wanted to capture you to awaken the Moon Demon. Unfortunately, they were all held back by that father of yours!"
"Twenty years later, he is dead. Although you aren't as easy to control as you were twenty years ago, it makes no difference to us!"
A fanatical expression appeared on the Scholar's face.
"As long as the Moon Demon is awakened, the North Continent will become a paradise for demonic cultivators. demonic cultivators from the other four continents will also look up to us!"
"Chen Xian, sacrificing you alone will bring happiness to thousands of families!"
In his state of extreme excitement.
The grip of his hand grew tighter and tighter.
"Stop struggling. Tell me, where is the soul-forbidding bead?"
"I can give you a quick death!"
Chen Xian, who had been struggling incessantly, suddenly revealed a strange smile.
"I'm afraid you won't live to see it in this lifetime!"
He formed a hand Seal with one hand.
Suddenly, a blood-red Formation appeared on the ground.
The Bloodthirsty Great Array instantly trapped the Scholar firmly.
At that moment, Chen Xian also broke free from his grasp.
He landed on the ground, coughing uncontrollably.
Night Fiend and the others quickly moved to protect him in their midst.
The reason Chen Xian could hold out for so long was because the Scholar didn't want to kill him.
But Night Fiend and the others were different. Under the pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage earlier, they had already been severely injured.
They had only just barely managed to recover.
Seeing now that Chen Xian had only suffered some superficial injuries.
A single thought immediately surfaced in their minds.
Why is the gap between people so large?
They, at the Golden Core Stage, were hit hard.
Yet Chen Xian, who was only at the Qi Refinement Stage, had actually held out until now.
"Young Master, this is the Bloodthirsty Great Array..."
"Yes!"
Chen Xian said weakly, "I imagine this Formation must really like his blood!"
Regarding the Bloodthirsty Great Array.
Chen Xian actually knew quite a bit.
This Formation was almost alive, possessing a frenzied desire to devour things like blood.
It could also grow after devouring.
Last night, when the army of demonic cultivators came crushing down, Chen Xian had silently released the Bloodthirsty Great Array.
By the time they returned, this Formation had already eaten so much it was almost dizzy from the blood!
Now, it had tasted the blood on the Scholar.
Naturally, it was incredibly excited.
It wanted to suck his blood frantically!
Meanwhile, the Scholar also noticed the uniqueness of this Formation.
"Hehe, Chen Xian, I must say you really are good material for a demonic cultivator."
"The Bloodthirsty Great Array doesn't easily recognize a master. I didn't expect you to actually make it yours!"
The Scholar said with a cold laugh, "I'm almost a bit reluctant to kill you now!"
"But for the great cause of demonic cultivation! You should just die obediently!"
He formed hand Seals with both hands.
The Bloodthirsty Great Array in front of him was torn to shreds in an instant.
But just then, Night Fiend had already appeared in front of the Scholar.
"Scholar, go to hell!"
Night Fiend swung his most powerful saber strike!
At the same time.
The others also used their strongest trump cards at almost the same moment.
Even if they couldn't kill the Scholar.
They wanted to wound him severely.
To buy time for Chen Xian to escape!
"Young Master, hurry and leave!"
Zhao Hu and the others looked at Chen Xian and shouted.
The Scholar's face turned hideous.
"You little small fry actually think you can wound me?"
He had thought he would obtain the soul-forbidding bead with ease.
And then awaken the Moon Demon.
He would also become the strongest among the Demon Lords of the North Continent because of this.
But he never expected that these small fry in his eyes would actually delay him for so long.
"Damn it!"
With a wave of the Scholar's folding fan.
All ten people were sent flying.
He then stepped on the head of Night Fiend, who had just landed on the ground.
"Today, I'll start the killing with you!"
Just as the folding fan in his hand was about to descend.
Chen Xian suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
"Oh?"
"Let them go. I'll go with you!"
"I'll tell you where the soul-forbidding bead is! Otherwise, without me, you'll never find it in your entire life!"
These words made the Scholar feel very displeased.
Nevertheless, he still kicked Night Fiend aside.
He looked up at the moon.
Hmm, there wasn't much time left.
If they missed this opportunity.
Then their North Continent demonic cultivators would have to wait another twenty years.
Night Fiend and the others looked at Chen Xian, their faces filled with disbelief.
They thought Chen Xian would sacrifice their lives to exchange for a glimmer of hope.
But they didn't expect that at the critical moment, Chen Xian would actually choose to trade himself for their survival.
"Young Master, we..."
"Go, quickly!"
Chen Xian said sternly, "You are no match for him right now. Even if you swarm him, you'll still die. You'd better run for your lives now."
"But we..."
"Shut up, that's an order."
Chen Xian said coldly, "Leave, I don't want to die here for nothing!"
These words caused the ten people to look at each other, and finally, Zhao Hu was the first to struggle up from the ground.
"What are you all standing around for? Go!"
Seeing Zhao Hu's signal, the others quickly got up and left.
As for their little movements, the Scholar naturally took note of them.
However, he didn't care, and didn't even have the intention to stop them.
"Hehe, once Lord Moon Demon appears, no matter how strong the reinforcements they bring are, it will be in vain."
The Scholar grabbed Chen Xian by the neck.
"Little fellow, can you tell me now exactly where the soul-forbidding bead is?"
Chen Xian pointed to an underground entrance in the back garden.
"The soul-forbidding bead is in the underground palace!"
"Hehe, then let's go in and find it. If it's not there, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Carrying Chen Xian, the Scholar walked towards the underground palace.
"I am quite curious, how did you swap the luminous pearl?"
You should know that ever since they left the Duobao Pavilion, the Scholar had been observing them from the shadows.
It was only at Li Yu's place that the Scholar didn't dare to alert them.
The back garden, he really hadn't expected.
Chen Xian said weakly, "That soul-forbidding bead was on my maidservant from the very beginning. The one I was playing with in my hand was a fake!"
"I'm the one who told her to hide the soul-forbidding bead beneath the underground palace!"
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to actually play such tricks under my nose."
"You've got some skill. It's a pity to kill you, but who told you to be the Immaculate Sacred Body? If your old man hadn't sealed your Physique back then, you would have died an even more miserable death. You're lucky to have lived for over twenty more years!"
Hearing this, Chen Xian.
Felt a pang of sadness.
So that was it.
It turned out the original body's Cheap Old Father had done so many things in secret.
It seems that after I transmigrated, I was completely unaware of these circumstances.
That's why I was targeted by demonic cultivators so quickly.
Thinking of this.
A wave of sorrow filled Chen Xian's heart.
It is fate!
I thought that after transmigrating and having a Golden Finger, I could prove my Dao and achieve Ascension.
But I ended up promising that old geezer a great Karma.
I thought I could use the Golden Finger to fulfill the old geezer's Karma, but it turns out there's an even greater crisis hidden behind the original body's past!
