《Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator》


 Chapter 1 - Estate Of Divine General

    The blue sky was covered with brilliant lights. Frightening rumbling sounds wereing from the distance. A handsome young man was leaning on a heavysword while his gaze was focused on the distant battlefield.


    Blood was trickling out of his mouth but he seemed to not care about it. His eyes were focused on the falling warriors. "What is the point in being a sage. Am not I still useless?", he questioned himself with deep pain in his eyes. ??


    In front of him two old man were fighting ferociously. They were swinging their weapons with all their might. Dazzling lightsing out of their weapons as they colliding fiercely with the enemy experts.


    The handsome young man swayed for a bit. A reluctant look appeared on his eyes. He took a look at his surrounding. His eyes reddened after seeing the fallen warriors. He felt strength was seeping out of his body as his tall frame shook in the wind. "Uncle Cai, Uncle Long", he called out in a feeble voice.


    The two old man who were fighting ferociously, shuddered after listening the feeble call. They quickly retreated and tried to reach the ce where the tall, handsome man was standing. "Uncles, please escape. I am going first. I am such a useless person....", his voice became faint gradually. His eyelids became heavy as he felt his life was going away.


    --------------


    Moon light was cascading through the opened windows. A frail and delicate looking woman was sitting inside the room. She had worried look in her eyes as she was gazing at the young man lying on the bed. She was caressing the hair of the young man time to time. Her eyes were full of concern as she looked at the sleeping young man.


    Eyes of the sleeping young man twitched as he opened his eyes after few seconds. His eyes fell upon the woman caressing his hair. "Chen-er", she cried out after seeing him opening his eyes.


    "Chen-er, you have finally opened your eyes. I was so much worried for you", tears trickled down from her phoenix like eyes. She is Li Qingzhao, the wife of the sword general from Divine general estate.


    Zhan Chen observed the woman Infront of him. Her look was frail yet beautiful and she had two bright clear eyes. He could feel how deeply concerned she was for him. From her look he could imagine how much he meant to her.


    "Mother, please don''t cry. I will never chase after that girl again", it took some moments for Zhan Chen to adjust to his current reality.


    "Chen-er, my poor Chen-er. I was so worried for you", Li Qingzhao started to sob like a little girl. Zhan Chen felt a stabbing pain in his heart after seeing his mother sobbing like this.


    "Mother, it is my fault. I shouldn''t have go to the ce of Gu n", Zhan Chen tried to console her. But her tear didn''t stop trickling down. "How is it my Chen-er''s fault. It is I, your mother who is useless. You didn''t do anything wrong. It is we, your parents who failed you".


    "Mother, it is alright. Don''t you see, I am awake now. Everything will be alright", Zhan Chen consoled his mother. After coaxing her for sometimes, Zhan Chen managed to sent her back.


    "Uhh!", Zhan Chen grunted as soon as she left. The pain was unbearable even for someone like him. He recalled what had happened earlier. He had visited the Gu family to see Gu Ningxi but he couldn''t meet her. Instead something happened to him and he was caught forcing himself on a Gu family girl.


    He was beaten violently and his body couldn''t handle the shock and the pain. He lost his consciousness as a result. This time his body had took severe damages but it was still a blessing in disguise.


    Due to this life threatening incident, he managed to break the seal on his soul. The memory of his past life rushed like a tiding wave to his mind.


    Before this he was only the fifth young master of the Divine general estate. But now that he had recovered the memory of his past life, everything had changed.


    He was still the same Zhan Chen of Divine general estate but he knew his destiny had changed from here on. His soul had somehow survived that incident of past life and it took fourteen years to awaken it from its slumber.


    What amazed him the most was that the awakening of his soul. He had the body of his current life but his soul was the same as his past life. Despite his unremarkable cultivation of this life, he still managed to awaken his powerful soul of past life.


    He thought about this strange incident for a bit. He had a hunch about how his soul survived his past life. But he was not sure. So, he stopped thinking about it after few moments.


    He knew, he was carrying the hope of his entire n. it had been fourteen years since he had born in this ce but he had no idea about what happened after he died.


    He recalled the bloody ughter that he had witnessed in his past life. That was the day of his wedding and entire Zhan dynasty was celebrating the fateful day of their crown prince. Zhan Chen was also happy that day. After all, why wouldn''t he be happy? He was marrying the most beautiful girl of the world.


    She was not only beautiful but also talented. She was just a little bit away from attaining the Sage realm. Everyone was praising them as the most perfect couple in the world.


    Everything went on as expected. But the cmity started when they were paying their respect to the heaven. He got stabbed by his newly wed wife and the Imperial family faced the sneak attack of enemies. Many powerful figures showed up that day and blood started to flow like river on his wedding day.


    He watched everything powerlessly as his loved ones got in one by one. Many sacrificed their lives to protect him but he still couldn''t keep his life. Enemies were everywhere and they were not sparing even the women and children of the imperial family. He forced to close his eyes despite his unwillingness. He thought everything was over but his soul mysteriously survived and he born in another family with the simr name to his past. Evan his present family had the same Zhan surname.


    Eyes of Zhan Chen turned cold after recalling the incidents of his past life. "Wait for me. I will collect every single blood debt of my nsmen", he vowed to himself.


    In his past life he had dedicated his life to the cultivation path. He was hailed as the never before seen genius of the world. He managed to reach the sage realm before he turned fifty but heaven was jealous of talented men. He got killed soon after he reached sage realm.


    Zhan Chen recalled the words of the person who he believed as the person behind his mysterious survival.


    "Your heart is too pure and your talent is unprecedented. Even I am a little bit jealous of your gifts. But it is not necessarily a good thing for you. As a result of your upbringing, you have yet to witness the ugliness of the world. What is evil and what is good? Everything depends upon your heart.


    Currently, you are not agreeing with me but I am sure that you will agree after seeing the ugliness of the world.


    Remember one thing. There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. Weak is the prey to the strong and no one will pity those who failed in their path.


    If you want to reach the peak, then follow your heart. As long as your conscience is clear, then what of it even if you cultivate s evil technique. Without strength you will be buried all the same in this heartless cultivation world".


    The words of the mysterious man was still clear in his memory. He thought for a while and a determined look appeared on his eyes.


    A thought appeared in his soul and he felt a mysterious diagram appeared in his soul. He poured his spiritual energy inside it and the mysterious diagram lit up with divine light. It sucked away his soul consciousness and Zhan Chen discovered himself before an ancient tform.

 Chapter 2 - Evil Emperor

    Zhan Chen found himself in an entirely different world. The surrounding was hazy and there were a raised tform in the centre of this world. There were some ancient looking books ced on the raised tform.


    Zhan Chen looked around and couldn''t find anything else in the hazy surrounding. He walked towards the raised tform. He picked up a book and turned its cover. ??


    A frown appeared on his face after turning the pages. He switched to another book and his frown grew dipper after checking its pages. "What is going on?", he thought to himself.


    He picked up other books and found the same result. All the books were nk without any exception. He couldn''t discover any writings despite searching through all the pages.


    He looked here and there but could not find anything else in this strange world. He pondered silently after getting no result from his search. "I know that old man wouldn''t deceive me because there is no need in the first ce. Moreover, he wouldn''t go to such a length just to prove his lies.


    He said everything is connected to the soul and as long as I have strength in my soul, I can receive the inheritance of Evil emperor." He recalled the words of the mysterious old man. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he poured his spiritual energy into the book.


    "As expected", Zhan Chen shouted excitedly as he saw the ancient looking book glowed with divine brilliance. A string of letters appeared gradually on the nk cover page.


    "Divine symbols! This is the lostnguage of ancient gods", Zhan Chen felt agitated after seeing the string of words on the cover page of the book.


    He felt his soul strength reduced after he poured his spiritual strength into the ancient book but he didn''t mind it. Currently, his mind was filled with excitement as he looked at the cover page of the ancient book. Anything rted to lost symbols were not ordinary and Zhan Chen knew what was the meaning of its appearance. it implied that this book most be a divine book.


    As a prince of Zhan dynasty, he had researched the Divine symbols. So, he had no problem in reading the ancient book.


    "Dark soul codex", a name appeared in the mind of Zhan Chen. He tried to turn the pages of the book but before he could do anything, his spiritual energy rapidly channeled towards the raised tform.


    Zhan Chen felt something was sucking his soul strength but he couldn''t do anything to extricate himself from it. "Damn it", he could only curse due to his helplessness. Soul strength rapidly seeped out from his body and he felt weakened after losing his his spiritual strength continuously.


    He felt his brain would explode if it continued any longer. Fortunately, the sucking power stopped when he was at his limit and Zhan Chen panted due to the extreme pain he was feeling.


    A multicoloured brilliance shot out from the high tfrom. Zhan Chen''s gaze hooked up on the centre of the tform because he found the same mysterious diagram which led him to this ce.


    Ancient characters appeared one by one and there were nine ancient characters shown up finally. A shadow started to materialize and Zhan Chen shuddered after feeling the pressureing from it.


    The shadow turned into a flickering human figure. "So, your soul is sent this time", an ancient hoarse voice came from the flickering shadow.


    "What do you mean by it?", Zhan Chen asked with confusion. "You don''t have to know", a horrifying pressure fall upon Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt like a mountain pressing on him and his face turned pale due to the horrifying pressure.


    "Come on, be a ve to me. I will fulfill your every desire if you surrender to me", the flickering shadow spoke in a hoarse voice as he continued to pressure Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could feel the increasing pressure on him. He greeted his teeth and resisted the iing pressure with all of his might. Gradually he found his strength inadequate to resist the pressure.


    He felt an invisible force invading his mind. He looked at the flickering shadow and a sense of helplessness washed over his mind. "What kind of power this is?", he thought to himself. He could feel the invisible force invading his body. He knew if it continued them he would truly turn into a ve of the flickering shadow. A determined look appeared on his eyes as he thought to detonate his body.


    When he tried to operate his spiritual sense, he found out that he couldn''t control his spiritual strength any longer. A deep sense of helplessness and unwillingness appeared in his eyes. "There is no need to kill yourself", an ancient voice appeared in his mind. He looked up and he felt dazzled by the scene Infront of him.


    There was a person in the ce of flickering shadow. Zhan Chen could feel same kind of pressureing from that person. He wore a blue dragon robe and there was a crown on his head. The middle aged man looked towards him and a smile appeared on his chiseled face.


    "No need to worry, little boy. I am just testing you earlier", he said with s smile. His smile was like a gentle breeze which managed to calm the mind of Zhan Chen.


    "So, you are choose by the second brother. Not bad, you have the required qualities to be my disciple but before I can teach you, can you tell me what is your purpose of your cultivation?"


    "Why do you cultivate?"


    "For power of course", Zhan Chen spoke with slight confusion in his voice.


    "Everyone needs power but I am asking why do you need power? What do you seek in your life", the middle aged man threw Zhan Chen a deep look.


    Zhan Chen felt all of his secrets were naked Infront of his gaze. The handsome middle aged man withdrew his gaze after feeling the difort of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen fell into a deep contemtion after listening to his words. He asked to himself, "Why am I cultivating? Why do I need power?"


    Scenes of thest war came to his mind. His brain got filled with hatred as soon as he recalled thest war of his previous life but soon he calmed down. Revenge was not his purpose for cultivation. He would take revenge but he still knew what was it he seek from cultivation. He always wanted to reach the peak and this life it was no exception.


    "I have many desires but the thing I seek is reaching the peak. It was the goal of my past and now is no exception. I want to step on the peak one day", in few words Zhan Chen expressed the conviction he held in his heart.


    "Ha.. ha....ha....",


    "No wonder. Second brother chooses you. You are better than me in this aspect", the middle aged man let out a carefreeugh.


    The solemn atmosphere vanished and the pressure on Zhan Chen also gone. "Brat, no need to be so serious in life. I just seek enjoyment in my life. As long as I am free then what does it matter? But the world didn''t want to give me freedom. So, I could only cultivate", he spoke with a carefree tone.


    He was no longer looking like that solemn majestic middle aged man. He was like a carefree young man now. Zhan Chen felt his mood uplifted after seeing his carefree appearance.


    "You must have listened about me from my second brother. Are you willing to be my disciple?", the middle aged man smiled at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head. He kneeled down and said, "Disciple Zhan Chen greets teacher".


    "Good", the middle aged man nodded his head. There was a trace of joy appeared on his face.


    "Remember, Ning Yunhao is my name. People of the world called me Evil emperor but I am me. Master of my own destiny", the middle aged man spoke leisurely.

 Chapter 3 - The Profound Art Of Dual Cultivation

    Zhan Chen could feel the spirit of his teacher from the words he had spoken. He could tell that his teacher was not a ordinary person.


    "As a disciple under me, you must adhere to a principle of mine." The Evil emperor looked at Zhan Chen with a stern look in his face. ??


    Zhan Chen knew every powerful person had principle of their own. They themselves strictly adhered to those principles. So, it was obvious that they would wanted their disciples to follow those principles. He nodded his head as it was expected from him to listen to the words of his teacher.


    Always do what your heart desires. Never have regrets in your life", the middle aged man looked at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen threw a surprised look towards his teacher as he had never thought that his principle would be so simple.


    "Don''t be surprised. I am saying this for a reason. Sometimes it is more difficult to follow your heart than scaling the heaven", the Evil emperor said with a profound look in his eyes. Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "Teacher, I will always follow my heart", Zhan Chen took a vow Infront of his teacher.


    "Now, it is time for guiding your cultivation", the Evil emperor smiled again. Zhan Chen perked up his ears to listen to him.


    "Soul maniption and dual cultivation, These are the two techniques I have mastered but I personally liked the dual cultivation technique", Evil emperor said with a smile.


    Zhan Chen''s gaze turned weired after listening to him. "What is with your look, brat? You will know how amazing it is after experiencing it", the evil emperor said with a grin.


    "Now, I am giving you my parting gift. Don''t put up any resistance when my thoughts enter your consciousness", he said with a smile.


    Zhan Chen quickly became alert after listening to him but he soon became rxed after recalling the strength of this master of his. "What is the point in bing alert. He could harm me anytime. Let''s trust him this time", he thought to himself.


    A series of visuals appeared in his mind as Zhan Chen felt weird all of a sudden.


    "Alright, my will have exhausted all the energy that is stored. I will go to sleep again. Cultivate properly. Remember to train your body and soul with your cultivation level", the silhouette of the middle aged man turned into shadow again. Then it retreated back to the raised tform.


    Zhan Chen became dumbfounded by the sudden disappearance of his master. "He hasn''t given any suggestion for the cultivation and left just like it", he thought to himself. His spiritual energy had drained to its limit. He got out from the unique space and fell asleep again.


    When he opened his eyes, he found a little girl staring at him. "Ah! Young master, you are awake", she shouted happily.


    Zhan Chen looked at the little girl speechlessly but a smile appeared on his face soon after. He knew the little girl Infront of him waspletely innocent and she was staying with him since his early childhood. "Little Tao, stop shouting. You will startle mother", Zhan Chen scolded her jokingly.


    He looked outside and saw the bright sky thought his window. "So, it is already noon time", Zhan Chen muttered to himself.


    A group of women came soon after and Zhan Chen tried to sit up on his bed.


    "Uh!", a sound escaped from his mouth as he tried to move. He had actually forgotten about his body condition as today''s incidents were more shocking to him than his injury.


    "You little brat. No need to act brave Infront of me", one of the woman scolded Zhan Chen.


    "Little Chen. No need to do anything. Take rest properly", another woman followed previous.


    Zhan Chen felt frustrated as he was the one who was teasing Ling Tao as little Tao earlier.


    "Aunty, I have already grown up. How can you call me little", Zhan Chen protested.


    "Ah! How cute. Little Chen, are you feeling shy?", one of the woman teased Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen closed his mouth shut this time as he knew he couldn''t defeat his aunts. Hepletely surrendered Infront of his aunts as he kept lying down on his bed.


    Food was sent in and one of his aunt spoon fed him. Zhan Chen could not move his body. So, he begrudgingly epted the affection of his aunts and let them feed him. He felt a little shy. He was already an adult in his past life and moreover he stood at the pinnacle power of the world. People had to bow whenever they saw him but now such an expert was being fed by a group of women.


    Zhan Chen shook his head and thought things through. He was no longer the glorious prince of Zhan dynasty. He was Zhan Chen, a fifteen year old boy. He looked at his aunts and could feel their affection and concern for him. His heart became warm after feeling their emotions for him. "This is my family in this life. I am fortunate enough to have them around me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    His three aunts left after spending some time with him. Zhan Chen could hear them. They were talking about him. He felt curious. So, he spread his soul consciousness to his surrounding. It was the first time he was using his soul consciousness in this life. He was not sure how much his soul could do with this weak cultivation of his.


    An invisible domain spread across the surrounding and Zhan Chen could observe everything that was happening inside this domain. "Big sis, don''t you think that brat was acting weird today?", Zhan Chen''s second aunt looked towards his first aunt.


    "Hmm! That brat was indeed acting weird. He was actually acting all modest and shy Infront of us", his first aunt nodded his head.


    "I think he was feeling ashamed after being beaten like this. Otherwise, his eyes would have lit up after seeing our third sister", his second aunt added further.


    "First sis, second sis, please don''t talk like this. Although little Chen acts shameless sometimes but he is actually a good kid. At least he doesn''t hide anything in his heart", his third aunt replied in a flushed face.


    "Third aunt is best", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "You are telling me that he is a good kid. Then what about the incident that happened in his uncle''s ce. Our fourth sister got humiliated after this. No one knew how much pain she was hiding in her heart", his second aunt rebuked fiercely.


    "Shhhh! Second sister, control yourself. Do you want to see our fourth sister saddened again", his first aunt said in a hushed voice.


    "I am sorry. This is not my intention. Fourth sister is indeed pitiful but that bastard is adding to her troubles", Zhan Chen saw his second aunt grinding her teeth.


    He listened for some more time. Then he withdrew his soul consciousness. His mind was in disorder after listening to the conversation between his aunts. "Mother is in pain because of me! Exactly what happened in my uncle''s ce that day", he thought to himself.


    He recalled the incident that happened five years ago. He was caught while doing an indecent act with her cousin sister. He got thrashed by his uncle but his uncle also promised to him that he wouldn''t disclose this incident to his mother. His mother caught the wind of the incident anyway. She got enraged after seeing the injuries on him. From that day, she was not going to his uncle''s ce.


    "It looks like there is some more thing that I am not aware", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He cooled down his mind and his focus moved towards the unique space inside his soul.


    One after another ancient book lit up as Zhan Chen checked the name of all the book. His spiritual strength was reducing but it was less consuming than yesterday.


    There were books on soul, alchemy and various kinds of martial and spiritual arts but Zhan Chen choose the book on dual cultivation first.


    The name of the book was ''The profound art of dual cultivation''. Zhan Chen knew this was the cultivation method of his teacher. He felt curious. So, he decided to open it.


    .

 Chapter 4 - Fourth Miss

    This single learning sessionsted for hours. There were endless information contained in a single page of the ancient book. Zhan Chan again felt amazed by the methods of his teacher. First saving his soul and now this mysterious diagram, he felt amazed by the prowcess of his teacher and the mysterious old man whom his teacher called second brother.


    When Zhan Chen opened his eyes, it was alreadyte night. In the world of mysterious diagram, there was no sense of time. He didn''t know how much time he had spent learning untill his soul sense came out from the mysterious diagram. Zhan Chen looked around and saw little Tao dozing off in a distanced. "This little girl", a smile appeared on his face. ??


    He chose not to disturb her. His soul sense covered his entire body as he started to check on his own injuries. " It looks like Gu family wanted to cripple me thoroughly. Fortunately, uncle Shen was there", Zhan Chen muttered to himself. His eyes became cold when he thought about the Gu family.


    "Ah! young master, When did you wake up?"


    Zhan Chen turned his head after listening to the shout of Little Tao. "I have just woke up. What is it? Why are you shouting?", Zhan Chen looked at the little girl.


    A thought suddenly appeared in the mind of Zhan Chen after he saw Little Tao. "Little Tao, Don''t you remember the punishment for shouting loudly? Do you want to be punished?", he smirked with a evil look on his face.


    "No, young master. Please don''t do this. I will not disturb you again I promise", a frightened look appeared on the face of Little Tao. It was obvious from her reaction that the punishment was not normal.


    "Excuse me, young master. I will go fetch your food", little Tao excused herself hurriedly. Zhan Chen had an amused look on his face as he saw her fleeing his room.


    "I am wondering how should I step on my path of dual cultivation as it didn''t fit to my personality but now I understand. The life I have lived in the past fourteen years was the true unrestrained path for dual cultivation. I am no longer the past Zhan Chen. I must live the unfettered life that my current body is living. The current me is shameless and bold but at least I have been living the life that my heart desires", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    A wide smile appeared on his face as he fully embraced his current identity and personality. After finishing his dinner, he didn''t go to sleep again. He started to rearrange his body by himself.


    In his past life, he had been known as an iprehensible genius. His reputation was not only because of his sword but also his mastery in other types of arts. His major acheivement was in sword but he was also proficient in alchemy and formation.


    Zhan Chen had studied under the alchemy emperor for two years but the alchemy emperor alwaysmented how his obsession of sword resulted in losing a genius in the alchemy path. As for the path of formation, he was self taught in this matter. He couldprehend all theplex formations that was hidden in their ancestralnd.


    Zhan Chen started to rearrange his body despite the bonebiting pain he was feeling. He first organized the dislocated joints in his hand.


    "Shhh..", he inhaled the cold air as he resisted his urge to shout loudly. Rearranging the dislocated joints was one of the most painful experiences for a ordinary human.


    He greeted his teeth and organized the dislocated parts of his body. Cold sweat drops had already started to appear on his head when he finished with his bones.


    He took rest for some time. After a period of rest, he felt more rxed. He held the corner of his bed and sat up with the help of it. His gaze fell upon the distant sky. "Who would have thought that I will be reduced to such a state. It looks like I have to prepare the medicine myself", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    ----------


    "Young master, Are you okay?


    How did you manage to sit up?", Little Tao shouted after seeing him in the early morning.


    Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing her reaction. He had not slept in the previous night. After rearranging his joints, he had gone to the soul diagram world to study again.


    He ordered little Tao to not tell about his recovery to anyone. He knew this news would startle many if anyone found out about his recovery because it was an abnormal thing to others.


    Everyone was aware that Zhan estate had already approached many alchemists. But no one had managed to heal him in a short period. Now that he could treat himself, he didn''t want to raise amotion. He wanted to silently raise his strength before doing anything outside.


    Zhan Chen went to sleep when he saw his eldest aunt wasing with his mother. He didn''t want to be found out. So, he chose this time to take rest.


    He woke up when it was afternoon. His spiritual energy had recovered after taking a good rest. "Little Tao, Have you managed to see that fatty?"


    Little Tao nodded. She brought out a small book and handed it over to Zhan Chen. "Young master Xu has sent it for you", Little Tao spoke with a smile. Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    He had asked for the help of his friend to fetch this book in the morning. "Fatty is surely doing his task seriously", Zhan Chen felt impressed by the proficiency of his friend.


    Zhan Chen quickly scanned through the small book. It was a list from the Firecloud treasure pavilion. His eyes lit up after discovering the medicines required for his treatment.


    He was just going to call for a maid when Little Tao rushed over. "Young master, fourth miss is back to the city".


    Zhan Chen became dazed for bit. He could feel a undescribable emotion after listening the news of her return. A young girl with pretty eyes and exquisite face came to his mind.


    "Where is she?", Zhan Chen asked absentmindedly. "She has directed rushed to the royal academy aftering back. She is currently fighting with the Gu family members", little Tao said with excitement.


    Zhan Chen felt an indescribable emotion after listening this news. In his memory, she was always like this. She always defended him no matter whose fault it was.


    To the past Zhan Chen, she was the best person after his mother. The previous Zhan Chen both respected her and loved her. She had upied an important ce in his fourteen years memory. She was always with him untill she had to go to the distant academy for study.


    When everyone was ridiculing him as the trash, she had always tried to protect him. Her love and affection was deeply imprinted in the mind of Zhan Chen. For the outside world, they were brother and sister. But when it came to feelings between them, they had a tender emotion for each other. Zhan Chen didn''t know how to face her after listening to the news of her return.

 Chapter 5 - An Unspeakable Relationship

    Although Zhan Chen had lived for fifty years in his previous life, he was actually a nk book when it came to rtionship. The current him was more experienced in this matter than his previous self.


    In this life, he had no significant achievement in cultivation but he had his fair share of dubious encounters. "What is going toe wille eventually", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he heard the news of his fourth sistering home. ??


    He looked at the name of the spirit medicines again. Healing his body was his current priority. So, he focused his attention on the spirit medicines again.


    "These second grade spirit medicines are no big deal but I still need money to purchase them", he thought to himself. Every second grade spirit medicine was priced around two hundred to eight hundred silver coins. He needed at least three thousand silver coins to purchase the required spirit medicines.


    Zhan Chen thought for a moment. Then he ordered for feather pen and paper. Little Tao felt shock but she still went to fetch pen and paper for him. "Is young master trying to be a schr now?", she thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen wrote something quickly on the piece of paper. Then he folded it and looked towards little Tao.


    "Have you seen uncle Lu today?"


    "No, I haven''t", Little Tao shook her head.


    "It seems like uncle Lu is busy in doing something else. I have to think of other way to fetch the medicines without alerting anyone", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He thought for a while and shook his head after sometime.


    "Looks like I have to trouble that fatty again". He smiled after thinking about the aggrieved face of a troubled fatty.


    -------------


    "What, this paper is worth hundred gold coins!, a round looking fat boy shouted in a surprised voice. He was Xu Wenhong, the most intimate friend of Zhan Chen in the group of his silk pant friends.


    Xu n was a prominent n of Red cloud kingdom and they were famous for their skill in doing business. Xu Wenhong was the only son of current patriarch of Xu n.


    "Is big brother mmed his head somewhere? How can a paper be worth of hundred gold coins?", Xu Wenhong spoke with a pondering look on his face.


    For the people of Red cloud kingdom, a gold coin was worth a fortune. One gold coin was equal to hunded silver coin and one silver coin was worth hundred bronze coins. Thus it was no wonder that Xu Wenhong felt agitated after listening to the boastful im of Zhan Chen.


    "Looks like big brother became an idiot after being beaten by the Gu n. I have to tell this information to his family members as soon as possible. He needs to be treated immediately", Xu Wenhong pondered in his mind.


    "Give me the paper". He snatched the paper and scanned through the content. A confused look appeared on his face after he read the entire paper.


    "Hmm, looks like big brother needs some spirit medicines but why is he asking me to get it? He could have asked his family members!", Xu Wenhong could not understand the intention of Zhan Chen.


    "Forget it, I will arrange these spirit medicines for him. I can''t take revenge. So, it is the least I can do for him", Xu Wenhong thought to himself.


    "Tell big brother that I am thinking about visiting him. But my father is watching over me now. I will be in trouble if I visit Zhan''s estate", Xu Wenhong spoke to the servant who had delivered the paper to him.


    "You can return now", he dismissed the servant of Zhan''s estate and strolled outside. He crossed a group of luxurious buildings and soon reached near the most magnificent looking building. He walked inside and a luxurious courtyard appeared Infront of his eyes.


    There was a old man sitting on a sandalwood chair. There were two beautiful maids who were standing quitely in a corner. The old man had a in looking face but he was wearing luxurious clothes all over his body.


    "Little Hong. Are you here to visit your grandfather?", the old man beamed at Xu Wenhong. "Who is here to visit you? It is just that I need some money", Xu Wenhong retorted sharply. His good mood ruined after seeing the beaming old man.


    "You can request for any amount but you know the condition", the Oldman beamed at Xu Wenhong. "Fine, I need hundred gold coins", Xu Wenhong replied.


    A slight surprise appeared in the eyes of old man but he quickly regained his cool. He beamed at Xu Wenhong more happily. It was like losing hundred gold coins was the happiest matter to him. "Are you giving it or not?", Xu Wenhong asked with irritation.


    "How about six month?", the old man asked with a smiling face. "No, three months at most", Xu Wenhong replied firmly.


    "Deal", the old man beamed again. Xu Wenhong got the money but he returned with a downcast look on his face. "Damn this old man. So stinky even though I am his only grandson. Now I have to sacrifice my freedom for three months", Xu Wenhong greeted his teeth.


    "Follow Wenhong secretly. I want to know what is he doing", the old man looked at a corner where a ordinary looking middle aged man was standing quitely. "Yes master", he bowed his head and walked outside.


    ----------------


    Hours passed since Zhan Chen was studying the vast content about the dual cultivation. There were very few pages in the Profound path of Dual cultivation book but every page was like a massive knowledge trove. The contents in a single page seemed like endless to him. As long as he channeled his spiritual energy, he could read the contents of the page.


    Zhan Chen was looking through it since yesterday but he had yet to fully read a single page. He wondered how much books it would have taken if the contents were to be written on simple books of this world. He came out of the diagram world and rested for a bit.


    He heard soundsing from outside of his room. He spread his soul consciousness and saw his mother with a elegant looking young girl. She is Zhan Qingyue, the fourth Miss of general Zhan''s estate. Zhan Chen felt various undescribable emotions welling up within his heart after seeing her.


    Her face was like the gentle breeze of morning. Elegant and beautiful. Zhan Chen felt his breath stopped for a moment after seeing her. She had grown more beautiful than before. Zhan Chen''s soul sense glued to her after he saw her.


    "Qingyue, how can you be so reckless? You shouldn''t have go to the Royal academy", Li Qingzhao spoke with concern. "Aunt, are you also ming me?", Qingyue looked at Li Qingzhao with her beautiful eyes. "My girl, how can I me you? I am just saying that it is a little reckless from you", Li Qingzhao exined. "I know aunt is best to me", Zhan Qingyue held the arm of Li Qingzhao. At this moment she was like a spoiled girl despite her age.


    Both of them entered the room of Zhan Chen simultaneously. Qingyue''s facial expression changed after seeing Zhan Chen. "How dare they? It looks like I have gone easy on Gu Hao", Qingyue growled as soon as she saw the condition of Zhan Chen.


    At this moment she was not a spoiled and elegant looking girl. She turned swiftly into a fierce tigress. Zhan Chen could feel her concern for him. Unspeakable emotion appeared in his heart when he saw her concern for him.


    "Big sis, Please don''t worry. I am feeling better than yesterday", Zhan Chen opened his mouth and spoke to Qingyue.


    "Little Chen, are you really ok? Are you feeling hurt?", Qingyue asked with concern in her eyes. Li Qingzhao left after spending some time in the room of Zhan Chen. She had her own personal cultivation to care about. So, she couldn''t afford to waste much time.


    Zhan Qingyue closed the door as soon as Zhan Chen''s mother left. "Let me check your injuries first", she spoke with an anxious voice. It was clear that she was feeling worried after seeing Zhan Chen lying down


    on his bed.


    She brought away the bed sheet which was covering Zhan Chen''s body and the almost naked body of Zhan Chen came to her view. A blush appeared on her face after she saw his uncoveed body.


    Her blush deepened as she touched the injured ces of Zhan Chen. "It is very painful, right?", she asked Zhan Chen with concern in her eyes.

 Chapter 6 - It Is Bigger Than Before!

    Zhan Chen was in no condition to speak. His heart was racing since she started touching his body. It was a kind of unfamiliar feeling that he had never felt before. He kept his hand on the slender hand of Qingyue and kept looking at her with unspeakable emotion in his eyes.


    Qingyue felt her body stiffened but she didn''t throw the hand of Zhan Chen. She brought her another hand towards the face of Zhan Chen. She robbed the face of Zhan Chen with her smooth palm and Zhan Chen felt something was exploding in his lower region. ??


    Qingyue also noticed his change and a reddened hue appeared on her exquisite face. She took a sneak nce at Zhan Chen who was looking at her with a burning gaze. She quickly avoided her gaze shyly.


    "How bad! Little Chen stop looking at me", she hit the chest of Zhan Chen lightly.


    "Auch!", Zhan Chen shouted in an exaggerated manner. He was not thinking of doing this originally but it was the basic instinct of this life Zhan Chen to flirt with her. He was also feeling impressed by these womanising skills.


    "Little Chen, I am sorry. I didn''t mean to hurt you", she quickly rubbed the chest region of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt his dragon would explode as he felt the smooth feeling of her palm. His eyes turned hot as he pulled Zhan Qingyue to his chest.


    "Ah! little Chen, what are you doing? Let go of me", Zhan Chen could here her rapid heartbeat which was like a startled deer.


    She could also here his heart beat which was beating crazily simr to her. She looked at the passionate gaze of Zhan Chen and her heart filled with tender feeling. She leaned slightly and nted a kiss on his cheek quickly.


    "Little Chen! Let me go", she spoke shyly. Zhan Chen could feel her wriggling movement as his dragon jerked violently. It raged like it would spill fire to burn a forest.


    "Hmm! What is this?", Qingyue thought to herself. Her fingers came in touch with a bulging part. She was looking at the face of Zhan Chen. So, she was unable to see the movement of her hand.


    "Her curiousity led her hand to touch the bulging part more intensely. A hot feeling came to her hand as she hold the bulging part. Zhan Chen felt his mind going nk.


    Zhan Qingyue realised something from his burning face. "Oops!",she quickly let go of the bulging part and quickly escaped from the embrace of Zhan Chen. Her face was now reddened like a ripe pitch. "I am going", she escaped without looking at the face of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know what to do. He looked at his raging dragon and thought about his big sis. "Is not it pure torture?", he murmured to himself.


    Zhan Qingyue escaped like a startled deer. Her heart was still beating crazily. "It is bigger than before", she thought to herself. She was no longer the little girl of past. She was already a grown girl of seventeen years. So, she understood some facts about the rtionship of men and women.


    She knew Zhan Chen and she was brother and sister. They were not allowed to be in a rtionship. The society would never tolerate such kind of rtionship. Despite knowing this, she still grown feelings for his brother.


    She tried to change his mind in the past but she could not think of anyone beside Zhan Chen. She didn''t know when but when she discovered, she had already fallen deeply for him.


    She tried to control herself today but she could feel the same emotion for her in the eyes of Zhan Chen. In the past she was fifteen but Zhan Chen was only thirteen years old. So, there feeling for each other was too vague at that moment. They could only feel dependence for each other. But now she was seventeen and Zhan Chen was fifteen. Their emotion became more strong for each other as they felt each other today.


    Zhan Chen controlled his urge and tried to meditate for sometime. He wanted to calm his mind. He was unaware about the passing time but a knocking sound bring him out of the meditation state.


    "Young master, can I enter?", a voice came from the door.


    "You may enter".


    "What is it?", Zhan Chen asked the maid who just asked for permission to enter.


    "Young master Xu has sent a parcel for you. He said no one should open it except you", she exined quickly.


    Zhan Chen ordered her to bring it quickly. He felt quite excited. He never felt such excitement even when he got eighth grade spirit medicines.


    Zhan Chen ordered the parcel to be ced on his bed. He sat up after the maid left and unwrapped the parcel. Some specially designed medicine containers came to his view.


    He unsealed the containers one by one and smelled them. "Hmm, quality is alright", he nodded his head. He asked for a maid to prepare a warm bath tub for him. Then he ordered the maid to ce the herb containers near bath tub.


    He didn''t see little Tao for a while and he didn''t know where was she. So, he took the help of other maids. They helped him to move near the bath tub. Zhan Chen asked them to wait outside the room after sitting besides the bath tub.


    He took out a herb and ced it on his palm. Then he moved his other hand and a flickering bluish me appeared out of thin air. "So weak", he murmured to himself. It was the soul fire which could be generated from a powerful soul. Zhan Chen was still being disappointed although he managed to bring out the fire. If words were to leak out, many powerful alchemists would scold him to death because generating the soul fire in itself was a challenging task.

 Chapter 7 - Treating His Own Body

    A strong medicinal aroma wafted in the air as Zhan Chen heated the medicinal herb. A thick medicinal liquid came from the medicinal herb as he kept heating it with precise control.


    It took five minutes to extract the medicinal herb. Then he picked up another one and treated it as before. Whole process took him an entire hour. Beads of sweat drops were rolling out from his head as he finished with all the spirit medicines. ??


    His face was pale but still a grin appeared on his face. "My injuries will be gone after this", he thought to himself.


    "Chen-er, what are you doing? Can Ie inside?


    Zhan Chen smiled after listening his mother''s voice. "Mother, pleasee in", he replied immediately.


    Li Qingzhao pushed upon the door and came inside. She looked curiously at Zhan Chen. "Chen-er, what are you doing?", a curious look appeared on her face.


    "Mother, I am preparing a medicinal bath for me", Zhan Chen replied with a smile. "Hmm, what a good smell. what have you added in it?", Zhan Qingzhao''s curiosity rose after she took in the aroma of medicinal herbs.


    "Mother, I can move again after taking this medicinal bath", Zhan Chen looked at his mother with a smile.


    "Chen-er, are you joking with your mother? How can a medicinal bath heal your body?", Li Qingzhao spoke softly as she reached her hand to tousle his hair.


    It was obvious that she wouldn''t believed him because even the vice-head of alchemy association failed to do so. She thought Zhan Chen was telling lies to make her feel better. A affectionate look appeared on her face as she looked at Zhan Chen.


    "Chen-er, what did you want to eat tonight? I will personally prepare it for you", Li Qingzhao smiled at Zhan Chen. "I want to eat roasted duck", Zhan Chen replied with a excited look on his face.


    "Ok, then. I am going. I will tell the maids to help you with your bath", Li Qingzhao left with a smile on her face.


    "No one believes an honest man", Zhan Chen shook his head. Maids came over and helped him to enter the bath tub.


    Zhan Chen sat in the bathtub leisurely as medicinal essence entered his body. His hidden injuries started to heal on their own. Zhan Chen let go his all of the worry and focused on absorbing the medicinal essence mixed in the bathtub.


    He circted the medicinal strength into all parts of his body. "What is this?", his brows furrowed as he noticed a problem.


    He noticed that the medicinal strengths couldn''t circte properly inside his opened meridians. His soul consciousness entered his body and he felt extreme rage as he witnessed the scene inside.


    He show the convergence meridian which was just above his dantian region fractured. From the look of it, he immediately deduced it was not fractured naturally but someone had did it with malicious intention.


    He wracked his brain to recall anyone striking his dantian region. A incident appeared on his mind as the look on his face turned ugly.


    "No wonder I couldn''t progress in these five years", he thought to himself. He recalled betrayal in his past life and his eyes grew cold. "I was indeed too naive. I had not noticed the ugly side of cultivation world untill thest moment", he thought to himself.


    "Fortunately it is only a crack. It is still treatable with these medicinal essence", he thought to himself. He guided the medicinal essence with his soul energy and let it flow towards his convergence meridian.


    The fractured meridian didn''t show sign of healing immediately. Zhan Chen guided the the medicinal essence patiently. Beads of sweats started to appear on his head as he kept using his soul.


    What Zhan Chen was doing was impossible for many people. It needed delicate control over soul energy. As a genius in alchemy, he had experience in using soul in such a manner. Otherwise he couldn''t have healed his meridian even if he used a third grade or fourth grade pill.


    His meridian showed sign of recovering after fifteen minute. It took almond half an hour to fully heal. Zhan Chen had a pale look when he was finished with his meridian. He was already gasping inst ten minutes. It was clear that the consumption of his soul strength was enormous in the treatment of his meridian.


    Zhan Chen felt dizzy but he still greeted his teeth and held on. He couldn''t sleep as he was still absorbing the medicinal essence from the bath tub.


    "Young master, what are you doing?", came the curious voice of a little girl. Zhan Chen smiled after listening the voice of Little Tao.


    "Little Tao, I am busy in doing something. Come back when it is time for dinner", he replied in a soft voice. He gained some colour in his face after an hour. He was still absorbing the medicinal essence from the bath tub. There were many cracked bones inside his body. Zhan Chen didn''t want to leave any hidden injury. So, he waited patiently to absorb all the medicinal strength from the bath tub.


    It took another hour to fully absorb the medicinal essence. Zhan Chen tried to move himself this time but he felt pain all over his body. "I can''t be rash. The medicinal essence needs some time show its effect", he thought to himself.


    He called for the maids and they helped him to move back to his bed. After sometime Li Qingzhao entered with little Tao. Zhan Qingyue was following them from behind.


    Zhan Chen saw Qingyue and a smile appeared on his pale face. He was not immature like Zhan Qingyue. He was previously unsure but after seeing her emotion for him, he knew what to do.


    Zhan Qingyue didn''t look at his eyes. She quickly took look at him and then lowered her head. What happened today was still vivid in her mind. So, she was too shy to talk to him.


    "Chen-er, let''s have dinner together", Li Qingzhao spoke with a smile. Zhan Chen nodded and Li Qingzhao started to prepare their dishes. Little Tao and Zhan Qingyue helped her.


    Zhan Chen felt his hunger red up after Li Qingzhao uncovered the roasted duck. Soon, dishes were prepared and everyone started eating the roasted duck.


    "Mother''s cooking is best", Zhan Chen said with a smile. Little Tao and Qingyue nodded their head in agreement.


    "Mother, I want to ask you something", Zhan Chen looked at his mother.

 Chapter 8 - The Ugly Truth Behind His Past Problems

    Li Qingzhao looked at Zhan Chen with a puzzled look in her face. She could see that Zhan Chen was serious and she had never seen her son so serious before. Zhan Qingyue and little Tao also looked at Zhan Chen with puzzled looks in their eyes.


    "Mother, I actually never intended to talk with you about this but I want to make sure something. So, I am asking for your forgiveness in advance", Zhan Chen looked at his mother with a serious look on his face. ??


    He knew his words would reopen the wound in her mother''s heart but he also wanted to her to learn the actual truth. So, he asked for his forgiveness in advance.


    Li Qingzhao''s brows furrowed slightly but she still nodded. "Mother, Is Ziming Yue has anything again us?", Zhang Chen looked at his mother with a serious look.


    "Ziming Yue, which Ziming Yue? Are you talking about your aunt?", Li Qingzhao asked in confusion.


    "Yes mother, I am asking about that aunt of mine?", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "Why are you asking? Has she done something to you? Why are you using disrespectful words towards her? She is still your aunt", Li Qingzhao furrowed her pretty brows.


    "Mother, have you noticed one thing? I couldn''t progress in my cultivation no matter how hard I have tried", Zhan Chen asked with a profile look in his face.


    Li Qingzhao nodded his head as it was the exact problem that was bothering her since a long time. Zhan Chen was initially a talented child. He attained the Meridian opening realm while he was only ten but he had no progress since then.


    They had consulted with many alchemists but it was of no avail. Everyone was telling that Zhan Chen was normal but his talent most be worst. As, he couldn''t progress a step even after cultivating for years.


    "Do you know mother? From when I couldn''t cultivate?


    Li Qingzhao shook her head as she was indeed not sure about what happened to Zhan Chen.


    "I couldn''t cultivate since that incident in uncle''s pce", Zhan Chen looked at her mother''s eyes.


    Li Qingzhao became flustered after listening the words of Zhan Chan. "Chen-er, what do you mean by it? You can''t nder your uncle like this. He was harsh to you but you can''t me him. What you did with Yao-er was indeed not eptable", she blurred out.


    "When did I say anything against uncle?", Zhan Chen looked at his mother with a smile.


    Li Qingzhao became speechless for a while then something striked her brain.


    "Is it Ziming Yue? But how is it possible? She didn''t do anything against you", Li Qingzhao looked at him with confusion.


    "Mother, My convergence meridian was fractured but I have not noticed it untill now. Now that I have recovered I can get a quick breakthrough. Then you will understand everything", Zhan Chen spoke with confidence.


    "Conversation meridian? Evan if it was fractured how can it be healed? Chen-er, are you trying to fool me", a trace of anger appeared on the face of Li Qingzhao.


    "Mother, please check my body with your essence energy", Zhan Chen show his palm to his mother.


    Li Qingzhao had a skeptical look but he still took a look. She ced her hand on Zhan Chen''s and inject a trace of her essence energy into the palm of Zhan Chen.


    She closed her eyes but her expression changed with every passing second.


    "How is it possible?", she parted her mouth in astonishment. Sometimester, her shock turned to exhration as her eyes welled up.


    "It is good. Chen-er, god has not abandoned us yet", she held the hand of Zhan Chen with agitation. Drops of tear appeared on her pretty face.


    "Aunt, what happened to Zhan Chen?'', came the agitated voice of Zhan Qingyue. "Qingyue, your brother''s body has recovered", Li Qingzhao spoke while trying to hold her tears.


    "You don''t know the exact condition of your brother''s body but it was very severe. I thought without a third level or fourth level healing pill, he couldn''t recover", Li Qingzhao exined to Zhan Qingyue.


    "It was so severe! How dare the Gu n treat little Chen like this", Zhan Qingyue spoke with agitation and fury. She knew Gu n beat Zhan Chen severely but she thought It was just some broken nones. Now that she had found out the exact condition, she felt agitated like never before.


    "Big sis, Am not I fine now? So, why are you making such a face?", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile. Seeing his dazzling smile, Zhan Qingyue became dazed for a moment. Then her face reddened as she lowered her head.


    "Mother, big sis, little Tao", Zhan Chen called out every one present.


    "Please keep my recovery secret to everyone. If outsiders know about my recovery, it will cause a ruckous", Zhan Chen some with a serious face.


    Li Qingzhao knew the gravity of this matter, so, she immediately agreed. Zhan Qingyue also wouldn''t leak such a thing. Although she was a little clumsy before Zhan Chen, she was originally the most genius girl of Red cloud city. She grasped the situation immediately. Little Tao didn''t understand suchplex matters but she was absolutely loyal to Zhan Chen. She wouldn''t say anything unless Zhan Chen permitted.


    They left soon after so that Zhan Chen could rest. Before leaving, Li Qingzhao informed him about her rtionship with his aunt. ording to her, this aunt of his wanted to pair her with one of her brother but she rejected firmly. Since then, she was holding a grudge and show her maliciousness by ruthlessly attacking him.


    --------------


    The morning sun sprinkled it''s golden rays on the Red cloud city. Zhan Chen opened his eyes and sat up. After a good rest, he was feeling better.


    He tried to move his hands and felt absolutely fine. Then he stood up and stretched his limbs. He felt absolutely fine. "Looks like the my body has digested the medicinal essence", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He shook his head as he recalled the lie he had fabricated to fool his mother. He said to her that a mysterious expert came in his dream when he was ina. He taught him many profound techniques of alchemy and various profound cultivation methods.


    Although Li Qingzhao felt skeptical about his words but she still epted his exnation as it was the only thing that could exin his mysterious recovery.


    "Now it is time to focus on my cultivation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 9 - Celestial Yin Yang Sutra

    "Fortunately, my cultivation is still weak. Otherwise, I would have lost opportunity to forge the best foundation for my body", Zhan Chen muttered to himself.


    Zhan Chen felt he had received blessing in the disguise of disaster. It was true that he had suffered for thest four years but it also meant that he couldn''t cultivate to any higher levels in these past years. ??


    He was still at the first stage of Meridian opening realm as he was unable to progress any further in these past four years. The profound path of dual cultivation emphasized that one must built his foundation from the entry stage of meridian opening realm.


    There were total seven stages in meridian opening realm. Every stage was like a natural chasm in itself. Every human had fifty six meridian in their body and they were hidden in every corner of human body. One can open up a set of meridians in each stage of Meridian opening realm.


    Every stage of Meridian opening realm had a mystical connection with each other. One could only open up the same number of meridians in each stage of Meridian opening realm. The true meaning was if one opened up three meridians in first stage, then he could only open three meridians in further stages. Only if one could open up eight meridians in first stage of Meridian opening realm, then only he could open up eight meridians in all seven stages and open up all the fifty six meridians at thepletion of Meridian opening realm.


    But opening up all the fifty six meridian was a dream which had never be true. Even with Zhan Chen''s past experience, he had never heard of anyone who could open up all the fifty six meridians.


    A ordinary cultivator could open up three to four meridians in the first stage of Meridian opening realm. It was true for most of the cultivator in this world. As for the ones who could open up more than four meridians were considered as geniuses. In his past life, Zhan Chen managed to open up seven meridians in the first stage of Meridian opening realm. It managed to send ripples across the world.


    In this life Zhan Chen managed to open up four meridians which would have limited his progress inter stages of cultivation. But the Profound path of dual cultivation book imed that it could forge a supreme body with which one could open up all the eight meridians. A look of anticipation appeared in the eyes of Zhan Chen as he thought to start his cultivation.


    Zhan Chen asked a maid to send Little Tao to his room. Little Tao came over quickly as soon as she learned about Zhan Chen''s order. Zhan Chen ordered her to send every men away from his courtyard. He didn''t want anyone to find out about his recovery. So, he could only send everyone away.


    Zhan Chen walked over as soon as he saw the departure of everyone. He pushed open his door and walked towards courtyard. The morning sun bathed him with it''s golden rays and a smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Young master, you can walk finally", Little Tao shouted with excitement. Zhan Chen smiled at her and asked her to not let anyonee closer.


    He stretched his body a bit and then sat dawn cross legged. Golden sun rays fell on him as he sat under the open roof of the courtyard.


    He recalled the divine technique written in the book of Profound path of dual cultivation.


    ''Creation is made of Yin and Yang. Moon is Yin, sun is Yang. Absorb the tyranny of sun and make the celestial body of Yang.


    Nature made the man as Yang. Cultivate the celestial body of Yang and nourish it with the gentle yin. The sacred path will show you the way towards the divine.''


    Zhan Chen recalled the introductory technique written in the book of Profound path of dual cultivation which was named as ''Celestial Yin Yang sutra''.


    He tried to guide the energy of sun into his body and circte it in the described manner. The pathway described wasplex and it took some time for him to identify the pathway.


    Energy of sun entered his body and Zhan Chen felt hot all over his body. The temperature inside his body gradually grew and Zhan Chen found it unbearable to tolerate.


    He greeted his teeth and persisted in his attempt. The morning sun gradually shed it''s all gentleness and glowed more fiercely as time passed. Bead of sweat pored down from the head of Zhan Chen as he got drenched in sweat.


    Little Tao was clenching her skirt as he saw the cultivating Zhan Chen. The idea of wiping the sweat of his young master came to her mind but he quickly suppressed her impulse as she knew that one should never disturb a person while he was cultivating.


    Zhan Chen constantly attracted the energy of sun and circted it in the described illusory path. He found the heat unbearable but he still persisted. When he felt like he couldn''t tolerate it more, a change appeared inside his body.


    A indistinct symbol which was engraved on his upper chaste glowed faintly. Zhan Chen recognized it as the same symbol which was inside his mind.


    It absorbed the excess amount of energy from his body and the made the heat less unbearable to him. Zhan Chen felt surprised but he quickly calmed his wandering mind and cultivated.


    The energy from sun circted all over his body and it concentrated towards his dantian region. It left him astonished as energy concentration in dantian was the characteristics of True essence realm which was the third stage of cultivation.


    Zhan Chen still cultivated as he had no doubt about the techniques of Evil emperor. The energy inside his body gradually concentrated and the symbol in his chest region glowed. A faint shape of a illusory symbol appeared on his dantian.

 Chapter 10 - Dual Cultivation Partner

    A smile appeared on the face of Zhan Chan as he saw the faint image appearing on his dantian. "Sess", he shouted inside his mind.


    He observed the faint image on his dantian and saw the kui fish type pattern appeared on it. ??


    "It is more easier than I have expected. Seems like the Yinyang divine diagram will beplete only when I absorb the energy of moonlight", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He opened his eyes and an anxious little Tao came to his view. "Little Tao, what is the matter?", he smiled at the little girl.


    "Young master, are you okay?", she asked with concern in her eyes.


    "I am more than okay. You don''t need to worry about me. Just prepare a bath quickly", Zhan Chen said with a smile.


    Perhaps she also got affected by the jovial mood of Zhan Chen, Little Tao quickly forgot about her worries. She quickly ran outside to arrange a bath after seeing the sweat drenched clothes of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen took out his robe and threw it nearby. He felt slightly ufortable after seeing the sticky ck substances all over his body.


    "The Celestial Yang sutra is indeed a good technique. I have managed to flush out the impurities in just a single cultivation session", he thought to himself.


    He bathed properly after Little Tao arranged his bath. Upon finishing, he took out a blue robe and wore it.


    He felt perplexed after turning his back. Little Tao was looking at him in a dazed appearance. "Little Tao, why are you looking at me like this?"


    "Young master, you are more handsome than before", Little Tao replied while blushing.


    "Huh", Zhan Chen became dumbfounded for a moment. He raised the nearby mirror and observed his face.


    "Damn it, what is going on?", he cried out upon seeing his face. He was already one of the most dashing young man of the Red cloud city. Although in others eyes, his talent was poor but when it came to look, he was always in foremost in the Red cloud city.


    This time, his face had turned more fairer. Previously, there were some marks of injuries on his face but now everything was gone. His skin was looking spotless. It was looking so good that even the face of little Tao would be pale until nparison.


    "Damn it, is a man''s skin supposed to be so smooth?", he murmured in a dumbfounded look. "Forget it. Even if I turn into a ghost, I will practice this technique", he thought to himself.


    The day got past peacefully as no one came to visit him. He asked Little Tao and learned that his big sister and mother had entered seclusion. He knew the situation of his family. So, he could understand the urgency of everyone.


    "Just give me few more days. I will definitely crush all our enemies", he murmured to himself.


    After dinner, he again went to his courtyard. Dazzling moonlight cascaded on him as he sat cross-legged. He operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and absorbed the energy of moon into his body.


    The energy operated in an illusory path and flowed thorough his four meridians. Finally, it gathered into his dantian from all over his body. Zhan Chen felt a cool and smooth sensation after absorbing the moon energy.


    Gradually, he felt more cold but it was not so unbearable like the energy of sun. Zhan Chen operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and energy of moon continued to pour inside his body. He could feel an anomaly when he was cultivating the Celestial sutra. The amount of moon energy he could absorb was much lowerpared to the energy of sun. He persisted on and continued to operate the Celestial Yin Yang sutra.


    Gradually, another kui fish shaped pattern lit up on his dantian and when itpletely appeared, he knew he had sessfully cultivated the first step of Celestial Yin Yang sutra.


    Zhan Chen didn''t rx at all and continued his cultivation. This time, he didn''t pull in the moon energy specifically. He absorbed the natural energy of heaven and earth like regr cultivators.


    If it was his previous cultivation technique, then the heaven and earth energy would have charged towards the unopened meridians but now with the Celestial Yin Yang sutra, it was different.


    The Yinyang divine diagram glowed faintly on his dantian. It absorbed the pure essence of heaven and earth and expelled the unrequited energy of heaven and earth. Zhan Chen was observing the changes in his dantian through his soul consciousness and he felt surprised after seeing the changes. He kept absorbing the heaven and earth energy and gradually a globr shaped mass of energy gathered in his dantian.


    The globe of energy was made of two colours. One was glowing white and another was pitch ck in colour. ording to the description of the Profound path of dual cultivation book, white represented Yang while ck represented the Yin. Thus the energy flowing inside his body was the purest heaven and earth energy.


    Zhan Chen kept cultivating and he stopped only after feeling the warm rays of morning sun. What frustrated him was the pitiful amount of energy he could gather in one cultivation session. What he could absorb now was one third of his previous capacity.


    He stopped his cultivation but he didn''t open his eyes. Instead, he pondered about his future path of cultivation. The Yinyang divine diagram expelled more than half of the heaven earth energy, each time he cultivated. Although he could cultivate the most pure energy of heaven and earth now, it effectively reduced the amount of energy he could take in each session. If he normally cultivated now, he would take three times of a normal cultivator to reach a breakthrough.


    "It looks like dual cultivation is the only pheasible option for me. No wonder Evil emperor was so famous in his entire life. The amount of yin energy one can cultivate from moon is pitifully low. The only option is dual cultivation but the crux is a woman is needed for everyday cultivation", Zhan Chen massaged his head after thinking about the problem he would face in his cultivation.


    "Whom should I choose first. Although I like big sis, she is still hesitant about our rtionship. As for my other crushes in the city, they are still little girl in my eyes", he thought to himself.


    "Forget it, I will first read the books which are stored in the diagram space. Mying of age ceremony ising in few days. After it, will be an adult. I will choose for my partner''s then.


    Girl or woman I don''t mind but they must have cultivation level higher than me", Zhan Chen decided in his mind.

 Chapter 11 - Divine Art Of Myriad Transformation

    No one came to disturb Zhan Chen in following days. He cultivated the energy of sun in the morning and the energy of moon in the night. He passed his days cultivating ardously but he grew more frustrated with each passing days.


    The amount of heaven and earth energy was sparse to begin with in the Redcloud city and now that his cultivation speed was reduced due to the interference of Divine Yinyang diagram, he was getting more frustrated. ??


    What frustrated him more was the fact that a slightly talented cultivator could attain the second stage of Meridian opening realm within three months but he could only attain it in nine months if he cultivated normally.


    ording to the Profound path of dual cultivation book, he could absorb Yang energy from nature or spirit materials but he couldn''t use spirit materials to absorb the Yin energy. He could only absorb it from nature or from woman.


    "Damn it. I am only waisting time", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. "Forget it, I will read the books stored in the diagram first", he thought to himself.


    There were less than twenty days remained before hising of age ceremony. Then, he would officially be an adult.


    He had already cultivated for eight days but the increase in his essence energy was very little. So, he decided to invest all his time in reading the books stored by the Evil emperor.


    The books stored by the Evil emperor were very less in number but all of the books contained valuable knowledge and supreme techniques. Zhan Chen was aware of it. He stopped his cultivation and decided to enter the space of the mysterious diagram.


    Zhan Chen lied down on his bed and extended his soul consciousness towards the mysterious diagram inside his mind. The diagram pulled his soul away and he found himself in the diagram space.


    He walked to the high tform and picked up the book which was under the Profound path of dual cultivation book. It was the book he had seen earlier- The dark soul codex.


    He sat down and pour his spiritual energy into the book. The book lit up with divine brilliance. Zhan Chen turned the page and looked at the content of the book. Like it''s cover page, its other pages also contained divinenguage. After reading a bit, his eyes lit up with with interest.


    Zhan Chen kept reading and he didn''t know when he became engrossed in studying the book. The dark soul codex opened up a new world to him and Zhan Chen was like a thirsty man who got sacred water out of nowhere. He stopped only after he felt pain in his mind.


    Zhan Chen came out from the space of divine diagram but he was still thinking about the content of the Dark soul codex.


    "Soul spear, Soul absorption, ve seal!'', No wonder master was termed as evil emperor. Dual cultivating with countless woman couldn''t give him the title of evil emperor, he could only be termed as evil at most.


    But when these insane devilish soul techniques were added, he was indeed qualified to be called as evil emperor", Zhan Chen muttered to himself.


    "These dark soul techniques are indeed wicked. Increasing the strength of soul by absorbing the soul of other creatures. Building soul shield with the absorbed souls. Conjuring soul spear from a strand of the soul and using it to attack the soul of others. Controlling others soul by the ve seal technique", I must cultivate these awesome techniques. Zhan Chen muttered to himself with a grin.


    He opened his eyes and spread his soul consciousness towards his door. He saw Little Tao waiting outside with an exhausted look on her face. His gaze fell upon the night sky and he understood why Little Tao looked exhausted. He was studying from morning untill now and Little Tao was waiting outside to give him dinner.


    "Little Tao,e in", Zhan Chen shouted. A smile appeared on her face as she rushed in pushing the wooden door. "Have you eaten yet?", Zhan Chen asked her. She shook her head. Zhan Chen massaged his head. He knew this little girl Infront of him was very obedient but she was extremely stubborn when it came to some matter. She always waited for him no matter how much longer he took to eat dinner.


    "Little Tao, no need to wait outside from here on. You cane inside whenever you want. Just remember not to disturb me when I am cultivating", Zhan Chen looked at her. Little Tao nodded with a sweet smile on her face.


    Days passed by like the drifting cloud and Zhan Chen kept himself immersed in studying the Dark soul codex. His spiritual energy had increased since he cultivated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and he could study almost twelve to fourteen hours in a day without feeling pain from spirit energy exhaustion.


    "This Dark soul codex is indeed marvelous. it takes fourteenth days topletely study it but it is worth it. I can now solve the thing that is troubling me the most. I can change the aura of my soul with the soul imitation technique and noone in this world can identify me from my soul", Zhan Chen muttered to himself.


    He closed the Dark soul codex book and ced it at its location. Then he pulled out the third book. He poured his spiritual energy and the cover page lit up with divine brilliance. The name of the book was "Divine art of Inscription". He studied it for a period then switched to another book. The name of the book was World of Divide herbs. He looked at it for a moment and switched to other books. Studying any of these book would take time and Zhan Chen was looking for a book which could immediately help him.


    He switched some more books and finally a book piqued his interest. The name of the book was Divine art of Myriad transformation.


    The book had very less pages but Zhan Chen became interested in it after studying it for a while. There was less than a week to his Coming of age ceremony and he decided to finish the book in this period.

 Chapter 12 - Big Sis, How Are You Feeling?

    Days passed by without anymotion. Day after tomorrow was theing of age ceremony of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt a smooth feeling on his face when he woke up. A elegant beauty appeared on his vision. It was Zhan Qingyue who was rubbing his face with her jade like hand. ??


    "Good morning, little Chen", a sweet smile appeared on her face as she saw Zhan Chen opening his eyes. Zhan Chen greeted her back. His mood became better as he saw his big sis early in the morning.


    "Little Chen, how are you feeling?", Zhan Qingyue looked at him with concerned expression. Zhan Chen''s heart melted as he saw her concern for him. "Big sis, I am fine. How is your cultivation progressing?", he asked her back.


    He had already seen thorough her cultivation but he still pretend to not know anything. As expected, a sweet smile appeared on her exquisite face as soon as he asked about her cultivation.


    "I have seeded. I am now in seventh stage of Meridian opening realm which is equal to the power of our eldest aunt", Zhan Qingyue spoke with excitement in her eyes.


    Zhan Chen could understand her feeling as reaching the seventh stage of Meridian opening realm before the age of twenty was already considered as an achievement in the Red cloud city. Now, she had reached that realm in the tender age of seventeen. So, she was so much excited after ending her seclusion.


    "Big sis, Congrattion. Now you can be a true essence realm warrior like uncle", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile in his face. "Thank you little Chen. I want to be a strong warrior like grand father. That way, I can protect you and our family", she replied with a determined look in her eyes.


    Zhan Chen recalled his grandfather, Zhan Tianyou who with his might managed to earn the name of Divine general of Red cloud kingdom. He was one of the expert who had managed to surpass the True essence realm. Of course to the current him, attaining such a realm was only a matter of time.


    Zhan Qingyue stretched her hand and again started rub his face. "Little Chen, howe you be more handsome within these few days?", she looked at him with questioning eyes.


    "Am I really handsome?", Zhan Chen asked her. She nodded her head absentmindedly. "Then, do you like me?", Zhan Chen asked again.


    She nodded again but her cheek reddened instantly after nodding her head. She looked at the smile smile in the face of Zhan Chen and her cheek became more reddened.


    "Little Chen, you are teasing me again", she withdrew her hand from the face of Zhan Chen with a shy expressed.


    Zhan Chen knew her feeling about him. He just asked to confirm about it. After this, he became more determined to make her his woman. He knew all these how people would think things were bullshit. As long as you had power, then everything you do was eptable in this ruthless world.


    Zhan Chen pulled her hand to his face again and felt the smooth feeling of her hand against his face. He brought her palm to his mouth and kissed it slightly. The heart of Zhan Qingyue became chaotic immediately.


    "Little Chen, if you behave like them then I will leave", she protested in a low voice. Zhan Chen let go of his hand. "It feels very good to tease big sis like this", he thought to himself.


    Suddenly a idea came to his mind and his eyes lit up with interest. He was no longer the previous Zhan Chen of his past life. His current thinking was simr to this life''s Zhan Chen. When his behaviour of this life mixed with his past life''s intelligence, he became one of those foxes with limitless tricks in their sleeves. If the Evil emperor was here, he would also shy in admiration.


    "Big sis, you have promised me something", Zhan Chen rubbed his hand and looked at Zhan Qingyue with an eager expression.


    Zhan Qingyue looked at his eager expression and lowered her head with shyness. Thinking about her promise to him, the redness from her face spread to her neck. Zhan Chen looked at her with a dazed expression. She was looking like a goddess of dream with her reddened face. Zhan Chen gulped with a audible voice.


    "You can do anything you want as long as you don''t do anything excessive", she spoke while keeping her head down. She was clearly too shy to look at Zhan Chen at this moment.


    A joyful look appeared on the eyes Zhan Chen after he heard her. "Don''t worry big sis. You just have to let me massage you for a while", he spoke with a calm voice but his excited eyes were clearly betraying his calm appearance.


    "So, it is only a massage", Zhan Qingyue breathed out in relief. Her rapidly beating heart became normal as she nodded at Zhan Chen.


    "Big sis,e to the bed and lie down on your back", Zhan Chenmanded calmly. He came down from the bed and make way for Zhan Qingyue.


    Zhan Qingyue swept her gaze towards Zhan Chen for a moment. Her calm heart started to throb again. She felt nervous but still sat on bed and lied down on her back.


    Zhan Chen took a good look at her lying posture. A fire burned in his heart but he suppressed his desire for her after some moments.


    He came near the bed and stretched his hand towards her jade white feet. A shock went up in the body of Zhan Qingyue as she felt the touch of Zhan Chen on her feet.


    Zhan Chen started to massage meticulously. He recalled the words of Profound path of dual cultivation book. The dual cultivation path not only about cultivation, it covered the desire in human heart.


    ''A true dual cultivator can understand the need of his partners'' bodies and must know how to give them pleasure with his every movements. A simple touch can make them crave for him and single encounter make them desire for more.


    A human body was the mostplex among the creations of nature. There were countless nerves in a human body and all of them connected to energy points of human body. There were three sixty one acupoints in humans body and a true cultivator knows how to manipte them for the pleasure of his partner.''


    His first touch was not urate but it gradually improved after some moments. He was a genius of alchemy in his past life. So, he didn''t take long to find the points in Zhan Qingyue''s body.


    Zhan Qingyue started to shiver in pleasure. Her eyes turned misty and her body became red due to extreme pleasure. Zhan Chen was only massaging her feet but she started to wiggle. Zhan Chen''s desire which had calmed down became rampant again after seeing her writhing figure.


    He didn''t cease his movement and continued to massage the acupoints in her feet.


    "Ah~"


    Little Chen stop. I am feeling weird. Something is going toe out", Zhan Qingyue spoke in a flushed face. Zhan Chen didn''t stop and few momentstter something gushed out from herher region. A blissful look appeared on her face as she looked at Zhan Chen with amorous eyes.


    "Big sis, how are you feeling?", Zhan Chen looked at her with a smile on his face.

 Chapter 13 - It Is Good To Be A Dual Cultivator

    "Little Chen, stop your hand", Zhan Qingyue spoke with a flushed face. She was still feeling numb all over her body. She had never sensed such a sensation in all over her life. it felt like she was floating in the cloud for a moment.


    Zhan Chen stopped his massage and pulled back his hands. The feet of his big sister felt like cotton to him. He was unwilling to stop but he wouldn''t go against the words of her. ??


    Zhan Qingyue could feel the wet patch on the bed. Her outer garment was also wet now. She threw an annoying look at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen became dazed for a moment. He had never imagined that his big sister would look so captivating when she was annoyed.


    "What are you looking at? When do you learn such evil tricks? ", Zhan Qingyue stared at Zhan Chen with her charming eyes. She looked at the dazed expression of Zhan Chen and blushed.


    "I am going. I will note here anymore. Who knows what trick you will use again", Zhan Qingyue snorted.


    "Big sis, it is not a trick. It is a sacred technique. Are not you feeling better now?", Zhan Chen spoke with an innocent expression on his face.


    "Hmph! What sacred technique. It is an evil technique. I am going", Zhan Qingyue sat up and tried to stand up. She was wearing a short frock today and her knees were bare.


    Colourless liquids slid down from her thighs and it dropped down from her knees. "Ah! Don''t look. It is so embarrassing", Zhan Qingyue shouted.


    Zhan Chen saw her embarrassing situation and a glowing white me appeared on his hand. He swept his hand from her knees to thighs and it was all dry within some moments.


    "Why are you panicking? Is not it alright now?", Zhan Chen grinned at Zhan Qingyue. Zhan Qingyue looked at Zhan Chen with a gaping mouth. She had never seen such magic tricks in her life. In front of her eyes, a me appeared by waving hand and it quickly dried her clothes.


    "Little Chen, how did you do it?", Zhan Qingyue looked at Zhan Chen with deep curiousity in her eyes.


    "It is just a small trick. Should we start our massage now?", Zhan Chen grinned at Zhan Qingyue.


    "Again?", Zhan Qingyue blushed immediately. "No way, little Chen you have be


    so bad. I am going", she threw an annoying look at Zhan Chen and moved towards the door.


    "Wait big sis. You have promised me. I just need only an hour", Zhan Chen said with anxiousness. He was given such an opportunity and he didn''t want to give up without trying all his techniques. Moreover they had mutual affection. So, he didn''t mind pleasuring her a bit.


    Face of Zhan Qingyue reddened again. She paused her movement and looked back at Zhan Chen. She thought about the earlier moments and redness spread towards her neck region. She looked at the eyes of Zhan Chen and her hidden emotion for him got awakened.


    --------------


    Zhan Qingyue walked out of Zhan Chen''s room after spending an entire hour. As promised, Zhan Chen didn''t touch anywhere awkward but his normal massage waspletely magical for her. In this short hour, she had released her water four times. Now she was feeling weak all over her body. Her face was flushed and she walked towards her room absentmindedly.


    Zhan Chen touched his moist cheek after she left. He could ascertain her deep emotion from the kisses she had left on his cheek. He calmed his mind and looked towards his messed up bed. Their were wet patches all over his bed.


    Zhan Chen thought of cleaning the room as it would be problematic if someone saw his room now. Room was still filled with the sweet smell Zhan Qingyue left behind. Zhan Chen ced his hand on the bed and when he was going to pull the bed cover, an idea popped up in his mind.


    He sat cross-legged and operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra. A smile appeared on his face after sometime. "As expected", he thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes after fifteen minutes. "I have gained three days worth of yin energy in mere fifteen minutes. It is really good to be a dual cultivator", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Wait a minute. It is only remnant of big sis''s water. I wonder how much I can progress if I really cultivate with her", Zhan Chen''s mind wondered for a moment.


    He calmed down after a while. Although he very much wanted to cultivate with Zhan Qingyue, he couldn''t force it. He would wait untill she made up her mind. He could feel that today''s incident brought them closer. He decided that he would never let go of such chances in future.


    He sent his soul consciousness outside and saw Little Tao outside his door. He had already permitted her to directlye inside but she was still timid as ever. "Little Tao,e in", he ordered in a calm voice.


    "Good morning, young master", she greeted Zhan Chen after entering his room. "What is the matter?", Zhan Chen looked at her after seeing her anxious look.


    "Young master, Uncle Lu is back but he is seriously injured", Little Tao said with deep worry in her eyes. A glint shed past in the eyes of Zhan Chen as he listened to little Tao.


    "Let''s go to the ce of uncle Lu", Zhan Chen spoke and stood up. "Looks like the enemies are more restless than I think. I do not want to expose myself early but it can''t be helped now", he murmured to himself.


    Zhan Chen could see many familiar faces in the house of uncle Lu. All the important people of Divine general''s estate were gathered here. Zhan Chen saw all of his aunts but he didn''t see her mother. He also saw Zhan Qingyue. She had a worried look in her eyes as her gaze was fixed on a bed.


    Zhan Chen shifted his gaze towards the person lying on the bed. An uncontroble fury appeared in his eyes as he observed the lying person with his soul consciousness.

 Chapter 14 - Granny Mumu

    Zhan Chen felt burning fury in his heart after seeing the bloody figure of uncle Lu. An imperceptible killing intent came out from him which managed to alert everyone present.


    "Huh!", he exhaled deeply and tried to calm down his raging heart. After his rebirth he had never felt so much fury that he was feeling today. Even the matter of Gu n trying to cripple him paled inparisonpared to today. ??


    For him, uncle Lu was not merely a subordinate of Divine general''s estate. He was the most amiable elder to him out of everyone present. When everyone started to distance themselves from him due to his failure in cultivation, he was the only one who stood behind him untill now. Due to this, uncle Lu had a special ce in his heart.


    Now seeing the most amiable elder in such a condition, Zhan Chen couldn''t suppress the killing intent in his heart. "Little Chen,e to my side", he was just thinking what to do when he heard the voice of his eldest aunt.


    Zhan Chen turned his head and saw his aunts sitting in one ce. His big sister was also sitting with them. He could see the astonishment in the eyes of his aunts. He looked at the others and saw the same astonishment in their eyes.


    "Young master, how did you manage to get up?", a middle aged man couldn''t held his curiosity and asked. For a moment, everyone''s attention shifted towards Zhan Chen.


    "As expected. I still have to exin myself", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "A mysterious master is guiding me in my dream. Thanks to him, I can move now but it will take sometime to recover fully", Zhan Chen replied with a calm voice.


    Everyone threw him a skeptical look but the exnation of Zhan Chen was a reasonable exnation. Otherwise how could a person who deemed untreatable could move in a mere week. So, no one bothered him anymore.


    "Is alchemist Qi not here yet?",the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked in an anxious voice.


    "No mam, Not yet. Deng Mingxin should be bringing him soon", one of the standing man bowed and replied.


    "Mam, manager Deng Mingxin hase back", one of the guard outside bowed and informed. "Quick, tell him to enter", she ordered with a wave of her aunt.


    A middle aged person entered soon after. Zhan Chen knew this man. He was one of the capable worker of Zhan estate. He helped uncle Lu with managing all sorts of matters of estate.


    Currently his head was low and his face was grim. "Deng Mingxin, what happened? Where is alchemist Qi?", the eldest madam of Zhan estate asked in a confused voice. Her voice was slightly flustered in the end.


    "Mam, Please punish me. I am a failure. I couldn''t manage to invite master Qi", the middle aged manager spoke with his head lowered.


    Zhan Chen frowned from side. He knew situation was not going good at the moment. He had already checked the condition of uncle Lu with his soul sense. Currently his internal bleeding had stopped but there were severe injuries all over his body. If he not got treated in time then his life would be threatened.


    Zhan Chen had heard about this alchemist Qi. Besides the royal alchemist, he was the the most qualified pill master in the entire Red cloud city. "He must have rejected the invitation of Zhan''s estate", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "How can this be? What should we do?", Zhan Chen heard the flustered voice of her aunt. "First sister, how about we approach the royal family?", the third aunt of Zhan Chen suggested.


    "They will not help us. With the current situation, third sister how can you be so naive? Don''t you understand who are the enemies of ours", Zhan Chen''s second aunt spoke with gritted teeth.


    Zhan Chen frowned after listening the words of his second aunt. With her words, how couldn''t he understand what is going on at this moment. unless they were fool, anyone could tell that there was problem in the rtionship with royal family.


    "Xuehua, speak no further. Ranqing, go and fetch the saint medicine from the storage. Saving Jie Lu is our priority at this moment", a aged voice came from a distance.


    The voice was hoarse. Yet, it managed to calm down the situation in the hall immediately. There was very few in the Zhan estate who dare to call the madams by name and it was obvious that the owner of the hoarse voice was one of them.


    "Granny Mumu, when will youe out of seclusion? Is mother-inw alright?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen spoke with an agitated voice.


    "I wille out tomorrow. We will talk about everything then. First go to storage and fetch the saint medicine", the hoarse voice came after a slight pause.


    A delighted and hopeful expression appeared on Jie Ranqing''s face. She stood up and went outside. Zhan Chen shuddered after listening to the earlier voice.


    He felt a soul sense scanning him earlier and he had a feeling that it was Granny Mumu who was checking him. "How is it possible? How can granny Mumu possess soul sense", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Although he had seen plenty of experts with soul sense, it was in his previous life. In this life, he had never expected to meet such an expert in such a tiny ce like Red cloud kingdom. "But there is some problem with her soul sense. It is too much weakpared to normal experts. It is sure that she is injured", Zhan Chen had a conjecture inside his mind.


    Zhan Chen had long known about this mysterious expert of Zhan''s estate. She was an old woman who always followed behind his grandmother. Zhan Chen had heard that her grandmother had a powerful background but for some reason he couldn''t go back to his home.


    "It exins why such an expert is staying beside grandmother. Previously I have no way to treat grandmother but now that I have gained the memory of my previous life, I will have a look on her".

 Chapter 15 - Ambition Of Zhan Chen

    Zhan Chen had a pondering expression when he left the hall. Theplexion of uncle Lu had already turned better after he was given the saint pill. Zhan Chen knew about this saint pill. It was a pill his grandfather had found from an ancient ruin.


    He observed the pill and found out that it was a low quality grade five pill. Such a thing was unheard of in this ce. So, he did not find it strange that everyone was calling it as a saint pill. As for why he was not given this pill despite his serious condition, it was simple. His body wouldn''t tolerate such medicine efficacy. It was fortunate that no one from Zhan''s estate gave him the saint pill while he was injured. ??


    He thought about today''s matter and his eyes turned cold. "A mere royal family of such a tiny ce dare to be so presumptuous. Grandpa never tried to build his faction. Now this decision of him is biting back his family", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He suddenly thought about the memories of his past life and his eyes grew more cold. A chilling glint appeared in his eyes as he thought about his previous life. "I never have any interest in conquering anything. Our Zhan n had also stopped finding trouble with other powers but what happened? They still banded together and tried to wipe us out. I was wrong in my past. Even if I want to be peaceful, will this world let me?


    So, let''s do it in the way of evil emperor. Conquer everything in your path. Install so much fear in your enemies that they will not dare to bite back even if they have chances", Zhan Chen decided in his mind.


    Zhan Chen came out of his reverie and an invisible imperial aura gushed out from his body. Zhan Chen could feel that his decision changed his heart state. His eyes grew more determined and he stepped towards his living ce. What he didn''t notice was that someone was observing him all along.


    A worried look appeared in the face of Zhan Qingyue as he observed the changing face of Zhan Chen. She was feeling shy to go to Zhan Chen''s room after what happened today but her apprehension was nothing Infront of her concern towards Zhan Chen. Before she knew she was already Infront of Zhan Chen''s room.


    Zhan Chen was lying leisurely on a chair and teasing little Tao when he noticed her arrival. "Big sis,e in", he shouted with a joyful tone.


    His mood uplifted after he sensed the arrival of his big sister. She had already changed to a flowing purple dress after the morning incident. Zhan Chen had not noticed her dress when she was sitting inside the hall. He was feeling concerned about uncle Lu. So, he didn''t notice her attire but now after seeing her, Zhan Chen became dazed for a moment.


    What sort of beauty he had not seen in his previous life but her big sister was one of a kind. She couldn''t be termed as the prettiest but she had her unique demeanor which made his soul hooked to her. She knew that her sister was extremely icy outside. Only, he had the opportunity to witness her charming side.


    "Creak", the wooden door was pushed open and Zhan Qingyue came inside. "Little Chen, are you okay? What are you thinking after leaving the guest hall?", she asked with an anxious voice.


    Zhan Chen felt sweet after listening to her concerned voice. After listening to her, he found that his big sis was observing him after he left the guest hall where uncle Lu was being treated.


    "Big sis, I am okay. Do you want to have another massage?", Zhan Chen grinned at her.


    "Who wants you massage? I don''t need it", Zhan Qingyue immediately retorted and her face became reddened.


    "Big sis, please agree to me. It will not take long", Zhan Chen looked at her with a expectant gaze. Zhan Qingyue wanted to deny but her gaze fell upon the expectant gaze of Zhan Chen. Redness appeared on her face as she shyly nodded her head.


    Her heart started to beat down as sheid on the bed of Zhan Chen. He sent Little Tao out and looked at her beautiful body. With her shy expression and reddened face, she was looking very alluring. Zhan Chen secretly gulped. He stretched out his hands and ced them on her flowing dress.


    In the morning, he had only massaged her ankle and legs. He was aware about the fact that to be a true dual cultivator, he must know how to arouse a female just by touching her any random body parts and he knew it was no magic tricks. To grasp this technique, a dual cultivation must had great knowledge about the sensitive nerves and meridians of human body.


    He raised her long flowing dress and two gorgeous legs came Infront of him. Her skin felt like butter to him as he couldn''t help but knead it for a few times.


    Zhan Qingyue felt like lightning coarsed through her body as her bare legs touched by Zhan Chen. Zhan did not wait. He started massaging her legs without any distraction.


    Initially he felt troubled as legs were longer and moreplex than foot but he gradually found out the sensitive points. He started to massage with confidence as he kneaded, massaged her beautiful legs.


    His result could be confirmed from her body reactions as she started to squirm in pleasure with every movements of Zhan Chen. "Little Chen, stop. I can''t hold on much longer", Zhan Qingyue shouted with an alluring voice.


    "Big sister rx, let it out. There is no need to be shy Infront of me", Zhan Chen said while chuckling slightly.


    Zhan Qingyue was initially enjoying his touch with her eyes closed. She opened her dreamy eyes after listening to the words of Zhan Chen. She looked at Zhan Chen with a passionate gaze.


    Zhan Chen felt his heart melted after seeing her gaze at him. Before he knew, he felt a jerk on his body and he fell over Zhan Qingyue. It was she who pulled him suddenly.


    The face of Zhan Chen came near her face as he could feel the warm sensation under him. Her eyes were clear and dreamy. Zhan Chen could feel her emotion from her two beautiful phoenix like eyes.


    He could not control himself anymore. He sealed her red lips with his own and his right hand started to roam on her thighs.

 Chapter 16 - Tender Feeling That Could Melt Heart

    Zhan Qingyue didn''t resist anymore as shepletely gave in. Zhan Chen parted with her lips after few minutes but he again started sucking her lips after witnessing her misty eyes and sulent lips.


    Only after what seemed like a long time did Zhan Chen let go her lips reluctantly. "Little Chen, we shouldn''t be doing this", Zhan Qingyue looked at Zhan Chen with an amorous yet dejected eyes. ??


    Zhan Chen knew what she was getting at but he had already decided make her his woman. So, he didn''t care about other things.


    "Big sis, don''t you like me?", Zhan Chen looked at her with an affectionate gaze. Zhan Chen''s face reddened after seeing the eyes of Zhan Chen.


    She shyly moved her face aside. "How can it be? The only one I like is little Chen", she muttered with an extremely low voice.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself anymore. There was nothing more exciting for a young man like him than the confession of his beloved.


    He moved her shy face by turning her head with his palm. She had closed her eyes but Zhan Chen could feel her expecting emotion.


    He quickly took her luscious lips by his own and started to suck on them fiercely. After few moments, Zhan Qingyue also started to reciprocate passionately by nibbling on his lips. Zhan Chen tasted something sweet touched by his mouth. He unconciously chased it and soon found her sweet tongue.


    Zhan Chen felt like a fire ignited in him after he tasted the sweet nectar on her tongue. Zhan Qingyue also started to reciprocate as he could feel the manly taste of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen moved his hand on her meaty thighs and started to feel the smoothness of her skin.


    His hand slid past her thighs and something bouncy met his palm. He started to squeeze it and Zhan Qingyue shivered in pleasure. A fierce fire started to burn in the heart of Zhan Chen as he kissed her more fiercely. His hand was busy in feeling the bouncy feeling of her tender butt cheek.


    Zhan Chen let her lips go after few minutes. He started to observe her desireced face. His hand was still busy in savouring the bouncy feeling of her tender butt.


    "Big sis, I want to see you", Zhan Chen murmured near her ear. ''Mn'', she agreed without any resistance.


    "Big sis, don''t worry. I will definitely marry you in future", Zhan Chen murmured near her ears. He was lost in his desire but it didn''t mean he had lost his rational. Zhan Chen knew what he was doing and the promise to her big sister, he would definitely fulfill it. There was no way he would ever forget about her love and feeling for him.


    Zhan Chen upped her long skirt and two jade white thighs came to his view. Her skin was extremely smooth as if if would drop water if someone squeeze it. Zhan Chen couldn''t hold his curiousity as he quickly loosened the belt around her waist.


    He upped her long dress and took it outpletely from her head. Unlike her purple dress, she was d in red under garments. Zhan Chen threw himself on her and started to enjoy the soft feeling of her body.


    She had a slim waste and beautiful curves. Zhan Chen felt mesmerized by seeing her naked body. He looked at her dazedly for a moment.


    The hepletely submerged himself in feeling her body. He sucked on her lips for few seconds. Then moved to her reddened neck.


    "Aaahh~", a light moan escaped the mouth of Zhan Qingyue as Zhan Chen started to shower her jade white neck with kisses.


    Zhan Chen moved downward and finally reached valley between twin hills. Zhan Chen cupped the hills with his hands and felt the bouncy feeling beneath the fabric.


    "Mmmn~", Zhan Qingyue lightly moan as she shivered in pleasure. After pressing the hills for some seconds, Zhan Chen untied her upper garment. A pair of raised mounds came to his view and Zhan Chen started to shape it ording to his will.


    After ying for some time, he ced his face on one of the mounds and started to feel the watery taste of the bouncy hills. His other hand was working on the side mound and drawing circle on the raised bud above it.


    Zhan Qingyue felt her mind went nk for a moment. She had never felt such pleasure in her entire life. "Mmmn~", she lightly moaned as Zhan Chen bit softly on her soft rabbit.


    Zhan Chen moved lower after ying with the two yful rabbits. He kissed on her beautiful tummy and proceeded towards the mysterious valley hidden between her two long legs.


    He ced her fingers on the fabric above her valley and moved his fingers on her valley. After teasing her a little, he started to work on her cave ording to Profound art of dual cultivation book.


    He started to massage the area around her valley and Zhan Qingyue squirmed in pleasure. The pleasure was so intense that Zhan Qingyue started to pant. Zhan Chen wanted to rx the muscles and nerves around her valley and awaken her pleasure nerves but something started to leak out from her valley.


    "Aaah~", Zhan Qingyue moaned in pleasure as Zhan Chen was rubbing his finger lightly on her cave. After sometime hot liquid started to gush out from her cave. Zhan Qingyue struggled to stop the moaning sounding from her mouth.


    Few momentster, she adjusted herself and looked at Zhan Chen with her charming eyes. "It is my turn now", she said in a shy voice.


    Zhan Chen felt something exploded in his head as his dragon protested toe out from the cage. Zhan Qingyue''s gaze fell upon his protesting dragon and she lowered her head shyly.


    "What are you waiting for. Take off your robe and lie down", Zhan Qingyuemanded in a shy tone.

 Chapter 17 - Hidden Enemies

    Zhan Chen looked at Zhan Qingyue with a heated gaze. He was just going to take off his robe when he detect movement within his soul perception. "Big sis, we have to stop. Put on your dress. Aunts areing to visit me", Zhan Chen said with urgency in his voice.


    He knew he had to exin the details about his recovery from injuries but the timing made him frustrated. "What! How do you know?", Zhan Qingyue asked in a flustered voice. ??


    "It is no time for chitchat. Quickly put on your clothes", Zhan Chen urged her. Zhan Qingyue hurriedly put on her clothes.


    "Knock, knock", knocking sounds came from the door. "Little Chen open your door", came the voice of eldest aunt of Zhan Chen. "Coming", Zhan Chen replied and hurried towards the door. By the time his aunts came inside, Zhan Qingyue had already put on her clothes. Zhan Chen sighed in relief. Although he wanted to make his big sister his woman but it had to wait untill he be powerful.


    "Little Chen, how are you feeling? What you says earlier, is it true? Do you really find a powerful expert as your teacher", his eldest aunt asked seriously. Seeing the urgency in her voice, he could guess many things. Although he was only fifteen now but he was a powerful expert in his past life. No matter how much his aunts and his mother wanted to hide facts from him, he had already found out the true situation of Zhan''s estate.


    "Aunt, I have recovered thanks to my teacher. Otherwise how is it possible to recover on my own", Zhan Chen looked at his eldest aunt confidently. "Stretch your hand. I want to check myself", his aunt ordered him.


    Zhan Chen obediently stretched his hand as he had nothing to hide. His eldest aunt poured a trace of essence energy into his body and her solemn face quickly changed to one of astonishment.


    "Good", she uttered after checking for a while. "Big sis, how is it?", his third aunt looked at his eldest aunt. "It is good. Little Chen''s body ispletely fine now. Otherwise I don''t know how could have I faced mother-inw", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen replied with a relieved voice.


    "Does it means this little brat is telling truth?", his second aunt eximed. "Yes, he is telling the truth. We all have already checked his body before. It was hopeless even with grade three medicines but his body is fully recovered now. His body is now much strongerpared to his previous self", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen exined.


    "Hmph! So, it is true. Finally this little brat finds some dog shit luck. He is approaching sixteen yet he is still hopeless. I hope he can treasure this chance and not mess around", his second aunt snorted in reply.


    If it was the previous Zhan Chen, he would have got back to her immediately but the current Zhan Chen wouldn''t do so. He only looked calmly towards his second aunt.


    The previous Zhan Chen didn''t understand why his second aunt always redicule him but now he could understand clearly. His second aunt had great expectations from him but in these five years he hadpletely disappointed her. So, her temper was always bad towards him.


    "Qingyue, why are you here?", his second aunt looked at his daughter. For previous Zhan Chen it was always a dilemma. He didn''t like his second aunt but as his daughter, his big sister had always pampered and protected him. So, he always secretlyined to heaven when his aunt chided his big sis for him.


    "Mother, I will enter seclusion after tomorrow''s ceremony", Zhan Qingyue replied calmly. "You better practice diligently. Your father has high expectation from you. Don''t disappoint him", his second aunt looked towards Zhan Qingyue in a stern voice.


    "Second sister, don''t be so hard on her. We all know how hard Qingyue is trying. Just believe in her. She will surpass us eventually", Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt said in aforting voice.


    "Little Chen, can I meet your master?", his eldest aunt turned her gaze towards him. "Here ites", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He knew Zhan''s estate was now being threatened by hidden enemies. So, his big aunt anxiously came for him. She hoped to obtain the help of his master to strengthen the Zhan''s estate.


    But he knew it was impossible. There was no way they could obtain the help of evil emperor. "Aunt, my master has made it clear that he will not involve himself in my family matter. I have to fend for myself when there is any problem", Zhan Chen replied to her.


    "Oh! He has no intention to help us", his eldest aunt muttered dejected. "Does not matter. We still have to thank him for his benevolence. Convey our regards to him", his eldest aunt said after a while.


    "Second sister, third sister. Let''s go. We have to prepare for tomorrow''s event", his eldest aunt spoke to his other aunts Zhan could see the disappoint in his words. "Aunt, please wait s minute. There is another matter", Zhan Chen called from behind.


    His eldest aunt turned her gaze in confusion. A frown appeared in the head of his second aunt as he looked at him. "Little Chen, is there anything you need?", his eldest aunt asked amiably.


    "Aunt, teacher is against helping our family directly but it doesn''t mean he has no means to help us. He has already agreed to check upon the injuries of grandmother", Zhan Chen spoke in a confidence tone.


    "Oh!", the eyes of his aunts lit up as a result. "Little Chen, can he really treat mother inw?", his eldest aunt looked at him with an agitated appearance on her face. His other aunts had also same agitated appearance.


    Zhan Chen observed their faces. He had a calm expression all along but his mood became heavy inside his heart. "Yes, master is a alchemy grandmaster. So, he has a high chance in treating grand mother", Zhan Chen replied in a calm voice.


    Ecstatic expression appeared on his aunts faces but they hid their emotions quickly. "Little Chen, you have done well. Study properly under your teacher and convey our regards to him", his eldest aunt said sternly. Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    Zhan Qingyue left soon after his aunts left. She didn''t want to close the door again. Otherwise, it would look suspicious to others. She promised toe afterunch.


    Zhan Chen sat cross-legged on his bed. He had no mood to think abound his big sister now. He was thinking about the problem, the Zhan family was facing now. His ears suddenly perked up as his aunts started to talk about the current issues of the Zhan estate.

 Chapter 19 - A Rusty Looking Sword

    Zhan Chen looked around but even the stored spirit weapons disappointed him. There were many shiny looking swords but as a renowned swordsman in his past life, he was extremely picky when it came to his sword.


    "Are they treating these trash as treasures?", Zhan Chen couldn''t believe his eyes as he observed the spirit weapons kept inside. Initially he was going to choose a spirit sword for himself andter bring his eldest aunt to take it away. But now as he scanned the spirit weapons with his soul consciousness, he felt disappointed. ??


    Spirit weapons didn''t have any defining levels but they were still divided ording to theyers of inscription on them. Low quality spirit weapons had simple rune inscriptions on them and high quality spirit weapons hadplex rune inscriptions on them.


    A grade one spirit weapon had oneyer of rune inscription on them and a second grade spirit weapon had twoyers of rune inscriptions stacked on each other.


    All the spirit weapons in the weapon house were of grade one in quality. To Zhan Chen''s dismay, the rune inscriptions that were on the spirit weapons were extremely simple. These type of rune inscriptions appeared utter trash to Zhan Chen.


    "Looks like I have to choose an ordinary sword first. Then I will engrave the rune inscription myself", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He knew, the quality of rune inscriptions decided the quality of sword itself. A sword with a simple rune pattern could not bepared to a sword with aplex rune pattern. When the swords progressed by stacking anotheryer of inscription, the difference would be more apparent. So, he decided toy the foundation for his sword himself.


    He moved to the ordinary swords and appraised them by knocking on them slowly. A trace of surprise appeared in the eyes of the old soldier who was observing activities of Zhan Chen. Only a master cksmith would use such technique to check the quality of the material. He felt intrigued when Zhan Chen started acting like a master cksmith.


    Zhan Chen didn''t notice the surprised gaze of old soldier. He was busy in checking the quality of swords. There were many kinds of swords kept in the sword house but very few were suitable for Zhan Chen.


    He didn''t like short swords. Falchions were also too light for him. His preference was only great sword or long sword. There were very few swords that suited to his taste. It didn''t take him long to appraise all of them.


    "Hmm, there are some good swords here. cksmiths must have given lot of their efforts. Unfortunately, the material quality is average. I guess, I have to keep one of them for time being", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "What is this?", Zhan Chen''s gaze suddenly fell upon an inconspicuous sword kept in nearby corner. His curiousity piqued as he scanned the sword with his soul consciousness. A eerie presense suddenly assaulted his mind.


    "Interesting", Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up with interest. The sword was looking ancient as the line patterns on its hilt was starting to fed. The sword was rusty in appearance and from outside it was looking like scrap material. "No wonder, it is dumped in a corner!", he thought to himself after examining the sword with his soul consciousness.


    Zhan Chen moved over and picked up the rusty looking sword. "Heavy", he blurted out after picking up the sword. "Young master, don''t waste your time on it. It is a useless sword", he heard the voice of the old soldier. Zhan Chen slightly smiled as he heard the voice of the old soldier.


    "Do you know the origin of this sword?", he asked the old soldier. The old soldier nodded and said, "Supreme general has put this sword here. He found it in an ancient temple. He thought this sword is special. So, he brought it out with him. But no matter how he tried, he didn''t find anything special about it. He felt disappointed and dumped this sword here. So, young master. You better choose another sword".


    Zhan Chen didn''t mind his word. "No, I am taking this with me. I will also take another one", he dered. He picked up a sturdy looking long sword and took it along with the rusty one.


    "It is weird. He is not behaving like how he supposed to be. A good for nothing silk pant can''t act like this. Perhaps after being beaten, he changed for good", the old soldier murmured to himself.


    After leaving the weapon house, Zhan Chen returned to his room. He put the longsword to side.


    His entire attention was focused on the rusty looking sword. "Hmm, there is some symbols on it", Zhan Chen murmured after looking closely at the body of the sword. "What kind of symbols are these?", Zhan Chen eximed after examining the symbols engraved upon the sword. He had never seen such symbols in his entire life. These symbols didn''t even resemble to the obscure divine symbols which Zhan Chen could recognise.


    He closely observed the sword but didn''t find anything else except the engraved strange symbols. The errie feeling he felt earlier didn''t appear again. Zhan Chen pricked the thumb of his left hand and poured some blood drops on it. He waited patiently but didn''t feel any reaction from the sword despite waiting for some time.


    "What kind of sword is it?", he thought to himself. From the errie feeling he felt earlier, he could tell that it was a so called demonic weapon. If it was his previous life, he would have steered clear from such a weapon but in this life he didn''t care. He had already epted the evil emperor as his teacher. So, what did it matter, even if he took a demonic sword as his weapon!


    Zhan Chen was determined to dig out the secret of this weapon. Suddenly he thought something and entered the diagram world inside his mind.


    There were different types of books on the raised tform but he searched for one specific book which he had seen once. He searched for book after book and finally a thick book came to his hand. The book had a ck front page. Zhan Chen poured his spiritual energy into the book and the book lit up with a shining colour.


    The name of the book was "Odessy of Netherworld". Zhan Chen turned the front page and checked the content inside it. After turning the first page, he saw some familiar looking words on it. "My guess is right this time", Zhan Chen murmured with a smile.

 Chapter 20 - The True Appearance

    Theherworldnguage was entirely different from the divinenguage that Zhan Chen studied. Evil emperor had described many things about the things inherworld. There was a section specially dedicated for describing theplex Netherworldnguage.


    "Here it is", Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up as he nced at the symbols representing theherworldnguage. "Let''s see what is written on this sword", he murmured as he started to match the symbols engraved upon sword with the symbols described in the Odessy of Netherworld book. ??


    ''Devour'', Zhan Chen became speechless after deciphering the meaning behind the symbols on the rusty looking sword. "What is the meaning behind it? Who gives such a weird name to a sword?", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He checked the rusty looking sword for sometime but couldn''t find anything from it. When he was just going to give up, a idea came to his mind. "Am I a pig? How can I forget about such a thing", Zhan Chen cursed himself after the idea came to his mind.


    He spread his soul consciousness outward and found Little Tao sitting outside his gate. She was talking happily with a maid who was standing beside Little Tao. Generally maids were not allowed to rx while they were waiting upon their masters but little Tao was different. She was allowed to rx which was specially permitted by his eldest aunt.


    "Little Tao,e in", Zhan Chen shouted in a clear voice.


    "Young master, what happened?", little Tao asked after entering his room.


    "I want some materials but you are not allowed to go outside for them. Send someone else to fetch the materials I am going to write", Zhan Chen replied.


    He took out a paper and write the name of some materials on top of it. Then he took out some money that he had received from fatty Xu.


    "Here is the money. Take it. Remember not to go outside of the estate without my permission", Zhan Chen reminded Little Tao before sending her out.


    "Let''s see what is hidden beneath this rusty appearance of the sword", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He had written the name of some weapon cleansing materials as he was eager to see the true appearance of the sword.


    Zhan Chen waited sometime for Zhan Qingyue after eating hisunch. "Looks like big sister is noting today. I better not waste anymore time", he murmured to himself.


    He entered inside the diagram world again and focused his mind in studying the Odessy of Netherworld. For a strange reason, he found the Odessy of Netherworld book interesting.


    Time flew past and Zhan Chen continued to read the Odessy of Netherworld book. The look of interest in his eyes grew deeper as he engrossed himself more deeply inside the contents of the book.


    After an unknown period of time, Zhan Chen decided to stop. He came out from the diagram world after keeping the book on its previous position.


    "Phew! What an interesting world", Zhan Chen murmured aftering out of the diagram world.


    He looked at the sky which was already dark from his window. "Unknowingly, a day has passed. I wonder whether they manage to find the materials I have ordered".


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and couldn''t find little Tao before his door. He found another maid standing outside his door.


    "Come inside", he ordered in a clear voice. "Fifth young master, is their something you want?", the maid asked after pushing the door open.


    "Where is little Tao?", Zhan Chen inquired. "Young master, she is helping in decoration for tomorrow''s ceremony."


    "Oh right! She has given me some materials and money before going towards the ancestral hall". The maid took out a exquisite looking package and some silver coins. Zhan Chen took the package but didn''t take the money. "You can keep the money", he spoke nonchntly.


    The maid became flustered at first but she kept the money after seeing the nonchnt attitude of Zhan Chen. She had a dazzling smile on her face as she left Zhan Chen''s room.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness outside and his focus was on the house next to him. It was his mother''s pce which was adjacent to his living ce. He saw his mother who was sitting cross-legged. She was submerged in cultivation as her her pair of beautiful eyes were closed.


    The heaven and earth energy was pouring inside her room as she was cultivating diligently. "Looks like she will make her breakthrough soon", Zhan Chen murmured after retracting his soul consciousness.


    Zhan Chen ordered the maid to bring arge barrel for him. He opened up the exquisite looking package and brought out two big containers from it.


    He unplugged a container and sniffed it. "Heavy spirit water, quality is alright", he remarked after taking a sniff. Then he unplugged the other container and took a sniff of it. "Blood of a high level grade two magical beast", he nodded his head in satisfaction.


    The maid returned with arge barrel with her. There was another maid who was supporting her in bringing the wooden barrel. "You can ce the barrel in courtyard. Fill the barrel with clean water after you ce it there", Zhan Chen ordered them after he saw them bringing the wooden barrel towards his room.


    He picked up the two containers and walked outside. He ordered the maids to left him alone after they filled the wooden barrel with water. Zhan Chen unplugged the containers and poured them one by one in the wooden barrel.


    A slightly crimson looking water appeared in the wooden barrel. Zhan Chen channeled his spiritual energy and a white fire appeared out of thin air on his palm.


    He turned his palm towards the watery surface of the barrel and started to heat the water with his soul me. The soul me was rather potent as it managed to boil the water within few minutes.


    Zhan Chen walked towards his room and brought out the rusty looking sword with him. He plunged the rusty sword into the boiling barrel.


    After waiting for fifteen minutes, he took out the rusty looking sword from the boiling water. A pitch ck sword came to his view. There was a metallic shine on the edge of the sword as the sword had an glowing luster despite its pitch ck appearance. "A great sword", Zhan Chen murmured subconsciously after seeing the true appearance of the rusty looking sword.

 Chapter 30 - Profound Lifespirit Pill

    Zhan Chen threw an indifferent nce at the startled grand master. "Shall we start concocting the pill?", he asked the grand master who was still staring at the essence containers with disbelief in his eyes.


    After some time the old alchemy grandmaster breathed in and calmed down himself. "Young master, may I ask you a question?", he looked at Zhan Chen with flickering eyes. ??


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as he looked at the old grand master. "Who would have thought that even extracting essence will lead to such trouble? I wonder what will be his expression after seeing my pills?", Zhan Chen secretly shook his head. He couldn''t understand the exaggerated reaction of the old alchemy grand master.


    "Young master if it is possible please tell me. Is your teacher a high rank alchemy grandmaster senior or has he reached even greater hight?", the old grand master asked Zhan Chen with reverence and curiousity in his eyes.


    "I don''t know. But I am sure that he can concoct grade four pills", Zhan Chen replied. He knew it was better for him to maintain the guise of his alchemy teacher. So, he deliberately made a point which would mystify his nonexistent teacher further.


    "Shhh!", the two attendants who were standing nearby sucked in cold air. For them, grandmaster Wang was a noble existence who could concoct grade three pills but an existence who could concoct grade four pills, they couldn''t imagine how big a storm it would cause if words had to go out.


    Grandmaster Wang''s eyes glittered after he heard the words of Zhan Chen. For the people of Red cloud kingdom, he was a supreme existence but he knew how much he actually worth in the outside ces.


    "Young master, can I meet your honourable teacher? Can you arrange it? It is very important to me", grandmaster Wang looked at Zhan Chen eagerly.


    Zhan Chen felt a headacheing to his mind as he saw the eager expression on the face of old alchemy grandmaster.


    "Grandmaster, please calm down. My teacher moves ording to his will. I have no means to contact him but he oftenes to see me. I will convey your wish to him", Zhan Chen replied.


    This is good. Please don''t forget to convey my wish to him. Also, you don''t need to call me grand master. You can address me as elder. From now on, I will help your Zhan family as much as I can", Grandmaster Wang said with a smile. He was quite satisfied with the behaviour of Zhan Chen towards him.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes shed as he could somehow understand the change in attitude of grandmaster Wang. "Ok then, I will address grandmaster Wang as elder Wang from now on", Zhan Chen replied with a hint of politeness. Grandmaster Wang nodded his head in satisfaction.


    "Now, can you tell me which pill we are going to concoct for young miss?", grandmaster Wang asked.


    "We are going to concoct Profound lifespirit pill for her", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Profound lifespirit pill? I have never heard of such a pill", grandmaster Wang muttered in confusion.


    "It is natural that you have not heard about it. After all there are so many alchemy masters out there? So, who can proim to know everything in this world", Zhan Chen said with a smile.


    "What young master said is right. Who can actually proim to know everything in this world?", grandmaster Wang repeated the words of Zhan Chen with a smile.


    "But without prior expertise, how should we go about concocting such a pill?", grand master Wang asked with a frown.


    "No need to worry. You just need to do as I say. I promise you can concoct the Profound lifespirit pill in your first attempt", Zhan Chen replied.


    A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of grandmaster Wang as he saw the confident look of Zhan Chen. He somehow believed the words of Zhan Chen and started to prepare for concocting the pill.


    Grandmaster Wang brought out his simple looking spirit grade furnace and started to arrange the essence containers around him.


    Then he started the fire of the tripod and ced the pill furnace on it.


    "First add the essence of Spirit Bamboo shoot. The add the Blue Feather herb. Let them mix first", Zhan Chen spoke calmly.


    Grandmaster Wang nodded his head and followed the words of Zhan Chen ordingly.


    After sometime, Zhan Chen suddenly spoke, "Put off the fire and then add the essence of Verdant Orchid flower in it".


    "Young master, putting off the fire now will harm the previous mix", grandmaster Wang immediately spoke after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Please do as I say. if you do not make haste the essence will be ruined", Zhan Chen spoke. Grandmaster Wang nodded his head puzzlingly but he still followed after the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Let it stay as it is for six to seven minutes. Then add the Azure life grass essence in it. Put on the fire then and heat the furnace with moderate temperature", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Grand master Wang felt extremely puzzled as he had never heard of such unconventional methods in his entire life. Despite his doubt, he did as Zhan Chen instructed.


    He let the furnace stay without fire for six minutes. Then added the essence of Life spirit grass and close off the lid of the furnace.


    He put on the fire again and started to heat the furnace with a moderate temperature.


    "Lower the temperature a little bit", Zhan Chen spoke from the side. Grandmaster Wang nodded his head and brought down the temperature of the furnace a notch lower.


    After ten minutes, a soothing fragrance started to permeate in the air. A slight smile appeared on the face of Zhan Chen as he took in the soothing fragrance.


    "Take out the pill. It should be formed by now", Zhan Chen spoke after waiting for another five minutes.


    A translucent pill with a bluish hue came to the eyes of grandmaster Wang as he opened up the lid up the furnace. An incredible soothing smell permeated in the air of the room as he took out the pill from the furnace.


    "An incredible pill!", grandmaster Wang eximed after taking out the pill.

 Chapter 31 - Firecloud Treasure Pavilion

    "Take this pill to your young miss. She will be fine after taking it", Zhan Chen spoke. Grandmaster Wang nodded his head as he looked at the pill with glittering eyes.


    "I can''t believe that I have managed to concoct such a pill! It''s purity has reached at least eighty percent", grandmaster Wang spoke as he observed the pill. ??


    "Young master, can you tell me whether you started concocting pills or not?", grandmaster Wang''s eyes flickered as he asked Zhan Chen.


    "No, I have yet to concoct a pill on my own", Zhan Chen replied.


    A disappointed look appeared in the eyes of grandmaster Wang after he heard the answer of Zhan Chen. "Looks like I am thinking too much. His cultivation is still too low to concoct a pill on his own ", he muttered inside his mind.


    "Young master, please don''t forget about my request. Meeting your teacher is very important to me", grand master Wang looked at Zhan Chen with a pleading look.


    Zhan Chen felt surprised for a moment. After all, alchemists had their own dignity and pride. Now that, grandmaster Wang was assuming such a look Infront of him, Zhan Chen could understand that it must be something important to the old alchemy grandmaster.


    "Elder Wang can leave with peace of mind. I will surely put forward your request Infront of my teacher. Moreover, even if he denies to meet you, you can tell me about your problem, I will discuss your problem with my teacher", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    "Many thanks, young master. You can visit me anytime in the Firecloud treasure pavilion", grandmaster Wang spoke with gratitude in his eyes. He took out a square shaped token and gave it to Zhan Chen.


    "What is it?", Zhan Chen asked after receiving the token. The token was purple coloured and a faint glow wasing from its surface


    "It is an identity token of our master. Every alchemist can give such a token to a single people, they are associated with. These token are very precious as every alchemy grandmaster has only one such token with them", one of the attendant replied this time.


    Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment but chose not to ask any further. Grand master Wang and his two attendants bade him farewell after Zhan Chen received the token.


    ---------------


    "Grandmaster, is there any need to show them such courtesy?", one of the attendant of grandmaster Wang asked to him. They were now out of the Zhan family''s estate. So, he chose to speak his mind.


    Grandmaster Wang paused his footsteps and threw a nce towards the attendant who just spoke. His gaze fell upon the other attendant of him. He saw the same indignant expression on the face of his other attendant.


    "Step inside the carriage first. We will talk on our way", grand master Wang spoke and entered the horse carriage which was kept outside the Zhan family''s estate.


    "You two should be wandering about why I give my purple alchemy token to the young master of Zhan family, right?", grand master Wang looked at his two attendants after the carriage started to move forward.


    The two attendants nodded their head. "Grandmaster, you have also promised to refine pills for them Infront of their eldest madam. Is not it inappropriate?", the other attendant who had not spoke untill now chose to speak.


    "Sha Hu, are you telling that I am wrong?", grand master Wang frowned and threw a meaningful look at his attendant.


    "Master, I don''t dare", the attendant''s body became stiff after listening to grandmaster Wang.


    "Sha Hu, stay away from Gu family for some time. I know you have dealing with them but don''t agree to their request recklessly. Our young miss has dealing with them and it looks like Zhan family has managed to find themselves a powerful backer. So, it will be good for us to stay away from the muddy water", grandmaster Wang spoke. The two attendants nodded their head in response as the atmosphere in the luxurious carriage fell into silence.


    "Don''t try to belittle the fifth young master of Zhan family again. You should receive him with utmost respect whenever you next meet", grandmaster Wang spoke after staying silent for a moment.


    "Master, can this senior really help you?", the other attendant who was sitting beside Sha Hu asked.


    "I am not sure but this time I have hope", grandmaster Wang spoke as he recalled the baffling method of Zhan Chen.


    The luxurious looking horse carriage didn''t take much time to reach the Firecloud treasure pavilion. Grandmaster Wang stepped outside and his two attendants followed after him.


    The Firecloud treasure pavilion was a three storied building and it was located in the centre most part of the capital of the Red cloud kingdom.


    Grand master Wang stepped inside the three storied building and soon reached its reception hall.


    "Wee back grand master. Young miss is waiting for you in the second floor", an elegant looking middle ageddy spoke to grand master Wang. Grand master Wang nodded his head and strode towards the uppermost floor of the building.


    The uppermost floor of the Firecloud treasure pavilion was nothing like the other floors of the pavilion. It was the personal space for its manager and generally offlimit to even grandmaster Wang.


    "This old subordinate sees young miss", grand master Wang bowed upon seeing Shen Ruyan who was sipping tea in an elegant manner.


    "There is no need for you to bow. How is your trip?", Shen Ruyan asked without showing any emotion in her words.


    "The trip is good. The Zhan family has really given birth to a talented young man", grand master Wang replied.


    "Oh, looks like Zhan Chen has caught the interest of grandmaster", Shen Ruyan spoke with a smile on her face. Grand master Wang felt mesmerized by her smile but quickly managed to calm down himself.


    He brought out a pill container where a translucent pill with bluish colour was stored. "Young miss, this is Profound Lifespirit pill. This subordinate has concocted it with the guidance of Zhan family young master", grand master Wang spoke after taking out the pill.


    "Show it to me", a hoarse voice came and before grandmaster Wang could reply, the pill contain was taken by a old woman.


    "Senior", grandmaster Wang immediately greeted the old woman who had just taken the pill container.


    The old woman only nodded her head without looking at grandmaster Wang. She quickly opened the pill container and took out the translucent pill.


    A strong medicinal armoa wafted in the air as soon as the pill was taken out. The eyes of the old woman lit up as she sniffed the medicine.


    "Have you refined it?", she asked grandmaster Wang. Grandmaster Wang nodded his head in response.


    "You have done well. You will be rewarded for your effort", she spoke.


    Grand master Wang nodded his head and bade his farewell soon after.


    "Young miss, this pill is incredible. Now we can only see it''s effect after you take the pill", the old woman spoke after grand master Wang left.


    A trace of hope and anticipation appeared on the face of Shen Ruyan as she took the pill from the old woman.

 Chapter 41 - Soul Nourishing Herbs

    "But what is the problem with this Ming family? Why are they targeting my Zhan family?", Zhan Chen asked with a hint of confusion in his eyes.


    "Have you forgotten about the identity of your grand father? He is the supreme general of this kingdom", Shen Ruyan replied.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as he grasped the underlying meaning of Shen Ruyan''s words. "So, the meaning of your words is grandfather has some problems with this Ming family?", Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up as he spoke about a possibility. He looked towards Shen Ruyan to validate his conjecture.


    "You are right. The Ming family has enmity with your grandfather and it is not a small one", Shen Ruyan nodded her head.


    "What happened exactly?", Zhan Chen furrowed his brows and looked at Shen Ruyan. He could understand the earlier meaning of Shen Ruyan''s words. As a family of generals, it was inevitable for the Zhan family to have some enemies. But he still wanted to find out the exact reason for Ming family''s action.


    Twelve years ago, Golden sun kingdom has attacked the Redcloud kingdom. The leader of the Golden sun kingdom was a member of the Ming family. Your grandfather has managed to fend off the attack of the Golden sun kingdom at that time. He had achieved it by heavily injuring the leader of the opposition army who was a Ming family member.


    "That person was an important member of the Ming family. The current patriarch of the Ming family is his son", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and thought for a moment. "Ok, now I know what to do", he spoke in an indifferent tone but there was an icy coldness hidden in his eyes.


    "What are you nning to do?", Shen Ruyan asked in a worried tone. Zhan Chen didn''t say anything. He took a look at the distant sky from the window. "A mere Ming family dare to attack my family. Looks like I have to take action earlier than I have thought", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind as a cold glint appeared in his eyes.


    "Please don''t think of revenge for now. Endure for a while. Ming family is many times stronger than your Zhan family", Shen Ruyan spoke after seeing the cold look of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen retracted his gaze and nced at the worried look of Shen Ruyan. A never before felt warmth spread to his heart.


    He stretched his hand towards the face of Shen Ruyan. He caressed her silky ck hair andbed them a little. "Ruyan, don''t worry. I will not be reckless. Moreover, I have no nning to take action on the Ming family immediately", he spoke with a gentle tone.


    The worried heart of Shen Ruyan calmed down she heard the voice of Zhan Chen. She looked at the gentle gaze of Zhan Chen and a strange calmness appeared in her heart.


    She saw the tender gaze of Zhan Chen and her worries disappeared gradually. A blush appeared on her face as she avoided the eyes of Zhan Chen.


    "Ruyan, is their any soul nourishing herbs avable in the Firecloud treasure pavilion?", Zhan Chen looked at Shen Ruyan.


    "There should be some but why are you asking?", Shen Ruyan asked in a confused manner. Soul nourishing herbs were very rare and generally the powerful warriors above the True essence realm required them. Zhan Chen was only a Meridian opening realm cultivator. So, Shen Ruyan felt confused after hearing the question of Zhan Chen.


    "Great, I really need them. Please send someone to fetch them after we eat ourunch", Zhan Chen spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head but a hint curiousity appeared in her eyes.


    Zhan Chen kept talking with Shen Ruyan for some time. Half an hourter, the two pretty maids Ling''er and Su''er returned with some good looking dishes.


    Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan started eating and both of the maids waited in a corner without making any noise. Zhan Chen could feel their sneaky gazes on him but he didn''t react to them because his mind was preupied with the matter of Zhan family.


    "Ling''er, call over big sis Yao. Tell her that I am looking for her", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    Ling''er nodded her head and left after bowing her head towards Shen Ruyan. "Zhan Chen, shall we visit your family after finishing up our meals?", Shen Ruyan asked.


    "No, not now. Moreover, you shouldn''t visit the Zhan family at this moment. We can''t expose our rtionship with Firecloud treasure pavilion at this moment", Zhan Chen replied.


    He ate the spirit beast meat slowly and kept pondering about his future actions. The situation of Zhan family was not looking good. So, he thought about the methods to keep the Zhan family safe.


    His thought process was interrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps. He nced to his side and saw the middle-aged manager of the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    "Big sis Yao", Shen Ruyan called out after seeing the middle-aged woman.


    "Young miss", the middle aged manager greeted Shen Ruyan aftering to the main hall. There was a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes after she noticed Zhan Chen eating with Shen Ruyan. He managed to hide her surprise quickly as she greeted Zhan Chen.


    "Young miss, are you looking for me?", she looked at Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan nodded her head. "Big sis, there must be some soul nourishing herbs stored in our branch, right?", she asked to middle aged woman.


    "Yes, we have four stalks of white lily and two stalks of Soul warming grass", the middle aged manager replied.


    "Bring all of them to me. I need those soul nourishing herbs", Shen Ruyan ordered.


    "Young miss, the royal family has already booked all the avable white lilies. What should I do about it?", the middle aged woman asked.


    "Tell them to keep waiting. My matter is more important than their order", Shen Ruyan Spoke.


    "Ok then. We will do as you say", the middle aged woman replied. She left after throwing another nce at Zhan Chen who was eating the spirit beast meat calmly.


    After sometime, the middle aged manager returned with White lilies and Soul warming grasses. Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up after seeing the soul nourishing herbs with her. He threw a grateful nce at Shen Ruyan. There was aplicated look appeared in his eyes as he saw Shen Ruyan keep helping him without thinking much. "I will never let you face any grievances. I will not allow anyone to snatch your happiness", he promised inside his mind.


    After finishing their meals, Zhan Chen asked for a secluded room in the second floor. He sat down cross-legged and took a deep breath to calm down. Then he closed his eyes.


    He visualised the appearance of his soul with his soul conciousness. A family glowing ethereal mass appeared inside his mind. His soul was faintly resembling the shape of a human fetus.


    He calmly watched his soul for few minutes. Then he controlled his soul conciousness and pulled a small part of the glowing ethereal mass. A hint of sharp pain wracked his body but he still greeted his teeth and proceeded further. A ball of glowing mass was separated soon after and Zhan Chen''s nerves rxed. Cold sweat was already pouring out from his head.


    "Separating a part of the soul is indeed painful. Now, it is time to form the pseudo soul ording to the methods written in the Dark soul codex", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.

 Chapter 42 - Helping Out Shen Ruyan

    Zhan Chen rested for a hour inside the secluded room. Then he took out the stalks of White lilies and the two stalks of Soul warming grass.


    Looks like I have to purify them myselve. Currently these are the only Soul nourishing herbs avable in the Firecloud treasure pavilion. Without the proper herbs, concocting a pill is impossible. I can only concoct soul nourishing liquid out of these", he thought inside his mind.


    Zhan Chen threw the stalks of the White lilies inside the borrowed furnace. The furnace was looking tattered but it was the only mid level profound grade furnace avable in the Firecloud treasure pavilion. Zhan Chen had no option but to use this tattered furnace.


    Faintly glowing white me jumped out of the palm of Zhan Chen. A sound of Chi! Chi! came out from the furnace as the white me came in contact with the tattered looking furnace.


    Zhan Chen controlled the me exquisitely and the white me had no fluctuation while heating the pill furnace. Time gradually passed by and soon half an hour of time passed.


    Beads of sweat came out from the temple of Zhan Chen as he kept heating the pill furnace. The soul fire waspletely dependent on the soul and such kind of refining greatly exhausted Zhan Chen''s soul energy.


    "Damn it. I have never struggled this much to refine a grade four herb", Zhan Chen muttered with a frustated tone.


    The energy consumption of the soul was enormous and Zhan Chen felt dizzy after enduring another period of time. When he was thinking whether he could endure for another minute, thest white lily turned into liquid.


    Zhan Chen stopped igniting the soul me. He sighed in relief after seeing the crystal clear liquid inside the pill furnace.


    He took out the liquid and ced them in a jade bottle. Then he sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath. He closed off his eyes after some time and started to oprate the Celestial Yang sutra.


    The warm energy of sun poured into his body and Zhan Chen felt his exhaustion decreasing a little. He didn''t stop channeling the Celestial Yang sutra into his body and his exhausted soul energy gradually recovered.


    Zhan Chen stopped only after his soul energypletely recovered. He was still feeling a slight pain due to the earlier partition of his soul but he knew it would heal after he took in the soul nourishing liquid.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes and his gaze fell upon the remaining Soul nourishing herbs. "I wonder how much time these two stalks of Soul warming grass will take", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    He threw the two stalks of Soul warming grass inside the pill furnace and started releasing his soul me. The refinement took another period of time. "Fortunately, it didn''t take longer", Zhan Chen sighed after refining the two stalks of Soul warming grass. He cultivated for another period of time and left after recovering his soul strength.


    "Big sis, what about that Profound grade weapon of Grandmaster Li? Has he agreed to our proposal?", the voice of Shen Ruyan came from the main hall of the second floor.


    Zhan Chen strode towards the main hall. He heard the discussion between the two woman before stepping inside.


    "No miss, he is demanding too much. Moreover, he is demanding a Essence condensation pill for this transaction", The manager Yao shook her head.


    "How dare he extort us this much? He is trying to taking advantage of our helpless situation", Shen Ruyan spoke as a faint trace of anger appeared on her pretty face.


    Sound of footsteps came from their behind. Shen Ruyan frowned as she didn''t like being disturbed while discussing about business. She stared at the door to see who wasing. Manager Yao was sensible. So, she didn''tment and waited for the individual who would definitely get a scolding from her young miss for disturbing their discussion.


    A silhouette d in deep blue entered the main hall. After seeing the person, the frown of Shen Ruyan disappeared and a small smile bloomed on the face of Shen Ruyan. Manager Yao who was near her, felt surprised to see her miss smiling. She had never seen such a sweet smile on her young miss face.


    He looked at the young man d in blue robe and looked at her young miss'' face. She seemed to understand something as her mind grew nk. "Don''t tell me, young miss actually love this Zhan family brat?", she thought inside her mind.


    She had previously tried to guess the rtionship between Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan but neither of her guess coulde close to the truth she was seeing. One was the powerful Shen family''s young miss and other one was just a kid of a small family. "How is this possible?", the middle aged manager Yao eximed inside her mind.


    "Have youe out of seclusion?", Shen Ruyan smiled at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked at the pretty face of Shen Ruyan.


    "What is the matter that you are discussing earlier? Is it troubling you?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile.


    "Forget about it. That old man is trying to taking advantage of me. Just because the Huo n has some friction with me, I can''t contact with the Weapon refinement union. Otherwise, why should I have offer suchrge amount to that ck hearted old man?", Shen Ruyan muttered while waving her hand.


    "Big sis, we will talk about the grand masterter. Let me see if he has any other condition. You can return to the first floor now", Shen Ruyan spoke. Manager Yao nodded and left after slightly bowing towards Shen Ruyan.


    "How is your seclusion? Is it sessfull?", Shen Ruyan smiled at Zhan Chen. She didn''t want to make Zhan Chen worry for her. So, she sent Manager Yao away.


    "It is good but I want to hear what you are discussing earlier", Zhan Chen looked at Shen Ruyan with a firm gaze. Shen Ruyan didn''t want to talk about it but she surrendered infront of Zhan Chen''s determined gaze.


    After listening the story from Shen Ruyan, Zhan Chen understood the real situation. Shen Ruyan had offended the Huo n young master. Huo n was one of the five strongest ns in thisnd. So, he was using his power to cause trouble for the Shen n everywhere.


    There would be a important event of the entire Northern desert continent in the near future. So, there would be arge gathering of experts at that time. As a business n, Shen n would hold a auction at that time but the required weapons were being blocked by the Weapon refinement union due to their rtionship with Huo n. The Shen n elders had pushed everything on Shen Ruyan to resolve. If she couldn''t do so, then the failure of the auction would be on her. So, she was looking for other means to obtain weapons.


    This grandmaster Li was an independent weapon refiner who could refine high level Profound grade weapons but he was looking for the Essence condensation pill which was in the sole posession of the Pill king valley. It was almost impossible to obtain such a pill from the Pill king valley. So, Shen Ruyan was now in a difficult position due to the current circumstances.


    "You need a Essence condensation pill, right? I will give you as much as you want as long as you give me the ingredients", Zhan Chen spoke with aforting tone on his voice.

 Chapter 49 - Gu Family Experts

    "What is going on?", Zhan Chen asked with confusion. The Redcloud kingdom was located in a border area of the Northern desert continent. It was very far from the central area where the powerhouses of the continent located. So, he felt confused by the sudden interruption of the royal family which was one of the most powerful faction of the Northern desert continent.


    No one knows exactly what happened but I have heard that a mysterious expert has visited the general of the western dragon guards. No one knew what they have discussed but a order is issued in the name of the general Han.


    ''No other party can interfere between the matter of the Gu family and Zhan family. No one above True essence realm can participate in the dispute between the Gu family and the Zhan family. Moreover, no matter what is the result, no one is allowed to kill the experts who are not participating in the battle. The defeated party will have to leave the Redcloud kingdom''.


    "The order is really baffling. But no one dare disobey the words of general Han in this western region. So, your Zhan family has the chance to turn the situation now that Gu family is without any helper", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    "It is really baffling but the order is good for my Zhan family. We should take this chance topletely defeat the Gu family", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I agree. There is no need to so mercy to such people", Shen Ruyan added.


    -----------


    There was a solemn atmosphere in the Zhan family manor. Everyone capable was gathered in the main hall of the Supreme general pce.


    "Everyone is here, right?", a pleasant yet authoritative voice sounded in the main pce.


    "Yes madam, we have gathered almost everyone avable but the Kai family does not respond", a middle-aged man replied respectfully.


    "There is no need to think about them. We will think about those traitorster", the woman seated in the leading chair spoke coldly. There was a faint trace of anger in her beautiful face.


    There were thirteen chairs arranged in the main hall of the Supreme general pce. Surprisingly everyone gathered here was at least a True essence realm expert. The person seated in the center most chair was the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen. His other aunts and his mother seated nearby her.


    "Later everyone just need to follow themand of the fourth sister. We will fight to death with those bastards", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Madam should rest assure. These old bones of mine has not fought for a long time. Even I have to die, I will pull those bastards from the Gu family to my grave", a old man who was seated in the front spoke with a smile but there was a coldness hidden in his smile.


    "We will follow madam to our death", a middle aged man added.


    "We will follow madam to our death", eight other experts followed his voice. Their voices were loud and clear. Firm determination and battle intent could be seen in each of their eyes.


    Several figures moved in the darkness like shadows. They were using the darkness of night as their cover. After moving for sometime, the massive Zhan family estate appeared Infront of their eyes.


    "Halt", the leading person shouted in a low voice. All the moving figures stopped where they were after hearing him.


    "Everyone knows how important today''s battle is. Zhan family and my Gu family can''t reconcile no matter what we do. So, we should take this opportunity and kill all of the Zhan family experts", the leading person spoke.


    "Everyone will move after I give the signal. No need to show mercy to any of them", the leading person spoke again.


    "We obey the order of patriarch", a united voice replied to hismand.


    "Good", the leading person nodded his head.


    Time went past like the fleeting wind. The experts of the Gu family waited silently for the order of their patriarch.


    Gu family patriarch had a calm appearance on his face. He was looking at the sky time to time. The moon was still glowing brilliantly but his focus was not on the glowing moon. Arge mass of white cloud was moving on the sky and soon it found its way towards the moon.


    "Now", Gu family patriarch yelled and rushed towards the estate of Zhan family. Other Gu family experts followed after him and their figures moved like shadows in the cover of the darkness.


    Gu family patriarch rushed towards a patrolling guard of the Zhan family with a sword in his hand. He swung it ferociously towards the Gu family guard.


    The Gu family guard noticed something but he didn''t step back. Insted he took out a long horn from his chest pocket and blew it with all his might.


    "Pei.....", a loud whistling sound came out and after a moment the sword of the Gu family patriarchnded on his body.


    A blood stream gushed out and drenched the ground red. The Gu family patriarch didn''t stop and targeted another soldier who was stepping back with all his might.


    "Gu Hanshan, your opponent is me", a hoarse voice came out from the inner region of the Zhan family estate.


    pping sounds of dresses came from a distance. Soon, the Zhan family experts reached the ce where the sound of the beast horn came.


    "Gu family experts, there is no point in hiding. If you dare, thene out and fight", a middle aged man from the side of Zhan family shouted.


    "He.he..he, Li Hao, this is the only way to hell, yet you dare step on it. Let''s see if anyone of the Zhan family can save you today".


    A voice came and a lean yet tall looking man appeared Infront of everyone. He had a feminine look but his smile was a little insidious in others eyes.


    "Gu Xuan! Even you havee back from the central region", Li Hao spoke in a surprised tone. A grave expression appeared in the Zhan family experts eyes. Li Qingzhao narrowed her eyes after seeing the person named Gu Xuan.


    "Fourth madam, please be careful when fighting with this Gu Xuan. He is of the same age as the third master and he was renowned as the most talented young man of that time. I have never thought that Gu family would call him back from the central region", Li Hao spoke to Li Qingzhao.


    Li Qingzhao nodded her head as she looked cautiosly at the Gu family warriors.


    "Attack", Gu family patriarch shouted. One after another figure came out from the shadow and charged towards the Zhan family experts.


    Battle broke out within an instance. "Be careful, there are some other True essence realm experts who are still hiding in the dark", Li Qingzhao shouted. An axe came rushing towards her body. So, she didn''t get any spare moments to look at others.


    Waves after waves of Gu family warriors came out from the shadow and they started to engage the guards of the Zhan family. Thus, two types of battle started in the Zhan family estate. One was between True essence realm experts who were fewer in number. Another one was Between Gu family Meridian opening realm warriors and the Zhan family guards.


    The number of the Meridian opening realm warriors were much higherpared to the number of the True essence realm experts. So, their battlefield was much more chaoticpared to the battle between True essence realm experts.

 Chapter 50 - Soul Enslavement

    Everyone picked up their own opponents Swiftly. An old man from the side of Zhan family came forward to block the Gu family patriarch.


    Fire torches were lit in all over the Zhan family estate. Everyone could see the appearance of their opponents.


    "Gu Hanshan, your opponent is me", the old man said in a hoarse voice.


    "Old man Qiang, you are not dead yet!", the Gu patriarch yelled out in a surprised voice.


    "Not before sending you to hell" old man Qiang grinned.


    Gu Hanshan, receive this strike of my sword", old man Qiang roared out. He swung his sword and an air de came out from his sword. It appeared Infront of the Gu family patriarch within a moment.


    "Dream on", Gu family patriarch yelled and swung his sword towards the air de. The air de was cut in half but he had to take two steps back to stabilize himself.


    "Peak stage of True essence realm!", Gu family patriarch eximed. A stern expression appeared on his face after seeing through the cultivation level of old man Qiang.


    Battle between other people were also heated at this moment. There were almost seventy Meridian opening realm warriors of the Gu family who were fighting with the Zhan family guards.


    Zhan Qingyue was also fighting in the battle. She was fighting with a peak stage Meridian opening realm warrior of the Gu family.


    There was arge crowd gathered in the surrounding of the Zhan family estate. Although the darkness was obstructing everyone''s vision but they were still curious to know the result of this battle.


    Strength was respected in the cultivation world and it was not different for the people of the Red cloud kingdom. Everyone wanted to know the result of the war between the Gu family and the Zhan family.


    "Father, what do you think? Can the Zhan family stop the attack of the Gu family", a pretty looking girl looked towards the middaged man standing infront of her.


    She was Lin Rou. The young miss of the Lin family if the Red cloud kingdom. The person standing next to her was Lin Wang, the patriarch of the Lin family.


    "It is difficult. Although the situation is bnced now but the true battle is yet to start. I can sense the aura of five other True essence realm experts who are still hiding in the dark. This is the reason why the Zhan family warriors are not going all out", Lin Wang spoke calmly.


    "Then can you help the Zhan family? After all our Lin family has a deep rtionship with them?", Lin Rou asked with concern.


    "He..he, looks like miss Rou has a deep concern for the Zhan family. But you can rest assure, no one dare help the Zhan family at this moment", a snickering voice came from the side.


    Lin Wang who was standing like a spear frowned slightly but didn''t say anything. Instead it was Lin Rou who started shouting at the person who just interrupted her conversation with her father.


    "Chen Wei, what do you mean? If you are really brave, you can go and fight big sis Qingyue", Lin Rou yelled.


    "That bitch! She will stop being arrogant after today''s battle", Chen Wei snickered.


    "Zhan family warriors can''t stall anymore. Looks like they have started to go all out", Lin Wang muttered. He had no interest in the squabble between the younger generation. His calm gaze was focused on the distant battle.


    "Greetings big brother Wang, how is it going? Is there any hope for Zhan family?", a middle aged man spoke aftering near him.


    "Xu Hao, you have alsoe", the middle aged man nodded his head at the person who just greeted him. His gaze fell upon a fatty who was standing next to Xu Hao.


    "Nephew Wenhong has alsoe. But our concern is useless as we can''t lend our hands to the Zhan family. Except royal family, the Red cloud kingdom has another four powerful families. But after today, the situation may change", Lin Wang spoke after seeing the concerned expression of the fatty, Xu Wenhong.


    "Big brother Wang is right. Zhan family, Gu family, Lin family and my Xu family are hailed as the most powerful families of the Red cloud kingdom. Many powerful families tried to overthrow these four but their attempts remained unsessful. But after tonight''s battle, they may have a chance", Xu Hao nodded his head. He looked at the direction where the battle was going on and a hint of concern appeared on his mature looking face.


    "Li Hao, no matter how capable you are, you will die today", Gu Xuan shouted. His eyes were sinister as he looked at a miserable looking Li Hao. They had already exchanged more than hundred blows and Li Hao could barely resist the tyrannical strikes of Gu Xuan.


    "Gu Xuan, don''t be so pleased. I will stop you today no matter what the price is", Li Hao spoke andunched a sword attack at Gu Xuan.


    Gu Xuan easily countered his all out attack. "Uncle Zhu, pleasee out", he shouted in a low voice. Li Hao felt uneasy as he took a step to his side. A old man came out from the dark and stood at the side of Gu Xuan.


    "Li Hao, let''s see. How you can escape again?", Gu Xuan snickered.


    "Uncle Zhu, please attack with me", he spoke andunched an attack towards Li Hao.


    Li Hao felt despair as he looked at the two experts of the Gu family. He clenched his sword and decided to stake everything.


    But at this moment, an unusual change happened. Uncle Zhu who was supposed to attack him, stabbed his sword in the chest of Gu Xuan.


    "Uncle Zhu, you!", Gu Xuan could utter this much before his lifeless body fell on the ground.


    Simr incidents started to ur and a chaotic situation appeared in the battlefield. Some allies of the Gu family turned against them and casualities started to appear in the side of the Gu family. Zhan family experts felt confused but they started to find opportunities for them in this choatic situation.


    "Forming the pseudo soul is indeed the best choice. Otherwise soul envement would have taken a heavy toll on my soul", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    "I am going", Zhan Chen spoke and dashed forward towards the gate of Zhan family estate.


    "Wait", Shen Ruyan shouted anxiously but Zhan Chen was already in a distance away from her.

 Chapter 51 - Massacre In The Night

    "Young miss, don''t be anxious. Let''s see his capability", old woman Liu Nanxi appeared behind Shen Ruyan.


    "But, he is only an early stage Meridian opening realm cultivator. What can he do in a battle like this?", Shen Ruyan spoke with a worried tone.


    "No need to worry, young miss. I am keeping my eyes on him", Liu Nanxi spoke while keeping her eyes on the distant battlefield.


    "Aunt, please bring him out if he can''t hold on", Shen Ruyan spoke. Her heart felt anxious as she looked at Zhan Chen with a worried look.


    "Looks like, this brat is really capable. I am surprised that young miss is worrying about him to this extent", Liu Nanxi spoke with a teasing smile on her face.


    Shen Ruyan blushed but her eyes never left the moving figure of Zhan Chen.


    The battle between the True essence realm experts was already in chaos. Both side had a cautious look in their eyes as they battled their opponents. The most nervous ones were the Gu family experts because they didn''t believe one another. Just now two of their True essence realm experts turned traitors and they lost five of their True essence realm experts in the blink of an eye. After this, they were cautious of each other. Their cooperation failed and the Zhan family True essence realm experts who were lesser in number, now hold the advantage.


    Same couldn''t be said for the battle between the Meridian opening realm warriors as the Gu family experts had the numerical advantage. The Zhan family warriors were brave but their defense was falling apart because the mumbers of the Gu family warriors.


    Zhan Chen''s figure shed as he reached near a Meridian opening realm warrior of the Gu family.


    "Bam", his fistnded heavily on the back of the Gu family warrior. The Gu family warrior had already noticed his arrival but he was busy fighting a Zhan family guard. He tried to dodge but his attempt was futile as Zhan Chen threw a punch in a lightning quick manner.


    His body staggered forward and the attack of the Zhan family guardnded squarely on his body. Blood flew in the air as a long cut appeared in the chest region of the Gu family warrior. The Zhan family guard was quick in his attack. He saw the opportunity and stabbed again at the Gu family warrior.


    The body of the Gu family warrior fell down powerlessly on the ground. "Fourth young master, why have youe?", the Zhan family guard asked after seeing Zhan Chen in the battlefield.


    "No need to worry about me. Go help others", Zhan Chen replied.


    He bent down and picked up the sword of the dead Gu family warrior. He held the sword firmly in his hand and and pointed the tip of the sword towards the sky. "How many years has it been since I get to use a sword again?", he murmured as an expression of mncholy appeared in his young looking face.


    "Enemies of my Zhan n. Just you wait, sword sage Zhan Chen is not dead yet. Let the heaven be my witness. With the sword in my hand, my sword path is going to begin again", Zhan Chen roared out in his mind.


    A determined look appeared on his eyes as a subtle change appeared in the environment. Swords started to tremble as a monstrous sword aura poured over the battlefield.


    "Is this sword heart! Who is using it?", a person hidden in the sky murmured. His expression was full of surprise as he carefully scanned his surrounding.


    "It is gone! What is happening?", he muttered after the sword aura vanished in an instant.


    Every person irrespective of who it was stood stunned for a moment. Their heart was full of fear as they felt the mighty sword aura around them.


    "I wonder which senior has appeared. I have never heard of such a person who is capable of releasing such a mighty sword aura", Liu Nanxi muttered after being silent for few moments.


    "I think he is just passing over this ce because the sword aura vanished within a second", Shen Ruyan spoke as took a deep breath.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know how muchmotion he would create this time. He felt excited for a moment and the sword aura leaked out from his body. He suppressed it within a second but it still caused a stir among the warriors.


    Zhan Chen stepped on the ground heavily andunched himself towards another Gu family warrior. The family warrior tried to stop his attack but a cut still appeared on his chest. Blood gushed out like a fountain and the body of the Gu family warrior fell powerlessly on the ground.


    Zhan Chen picked another target and he reached near him within a second. The person felt thretened. So, heunched an all out attack towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen side stepped lightly as the axe of the Gu family warrior missed his body by an inch. He swung his sword in a lightning quick manner as a cut appeared on the neck of the Gu family warrior.


    "Glug", the Gu family warrior tried to stop blood from pouring out but blood started to came out from his mouth. He moved his hand to cover his mouth and a stream of blood came out from his neck. His body fell to the ground after a moment.


    Zhan Chen didn''t wait to see the ending of the Gu family warrior. He moved rapidly andunched an attack on another Gu family warrior. The Gu family warrior was attacking a Zhan family guard. Zhan Chen''s sword approached his neck in a lightning quick manner.


    The Gu family warrior hurried lowered his head to the side as Zhan Chen''s sword pierced his shoulder.


    "Bastard", the Gu family warrior cursed as he hurriedly stepped back. "Fourth young master", the Zhan family guard eximed in surprise after seeing the person who helped him out.


    "I will take care of him. Go, help out others", Zhan Chen spoke and moved towards the injured Gu family warrior. The Zhan family warrior looked at the figure of Zhan Chen who was fiercely attacking the Gu family warrior.


    He hesitated a little but still moved away to help others. Zhan Chen finished up his opponent within few seconds. This time the Gu family warrior was somewhat capable as he could defend two attacks of Zhan Chen.


    "How can he move so fast!", Shen Ruyan eximed as she couldn''t keep up with the speed of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had managed to finish up three enemies within few seconds which appeared unbelievable to her.


    "This brat is not simple", Liu Nanxi spoke as she observed the figure of Zhan Chen. She had a special feeling when he observed the sword attack of Zhan Chen. It felt something special but she couldn''t say exactly what was the special feeling within those simple looking attacks of Zhan Chen.


    The Gu family warriors finally became alert after Zhan Chen finished up another few warriors of the Gu family. "Brat, you are too vicious", a middle aged man roared and charged towards Zhan Chen.


    He was holding a longsword in his hand. He chopped it furiously towards the neck of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t dodge the attack. He lightly pushed his sword and the fierce attack of the middle-aged man stopped infront of him.


    "How is this possible?", the middle aged man felt confused as heunched another attack towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen''s body moved in a strange manner as he dodged the full power strike of the middle-aged man.He thrusted his sword and it pierced the heart region of the middle-aged man.


    "You", the middle-aged man could utter one word before falling to the ground. Zhan Chen continued his killing and before long almost all of the Gu family warriors fell to his sword.

 Chapter 52 - A Little Reward After A Tiresome Battle

    "Little Chen, why have youe here?", an anxious cry fell on the ears of Zhan Chen. He looked towards the owner of the voice and the beautiful figure of Zhan Qingyue appeared Infront of his eyes.


    "Big sis, hold on for a second. I wille to help you after finishing up this guy", Zhan Chen replied. His sword shed and he sent a upward sword strike which pierced at the throat of his opponent. His opponent was not weak as he was a sixth stage Meridian opening realm warrior but the attack of Zhan Chen cut him off guard. He managed to protect himself from the upward thrust of Zhan Chen but his body staggered backward as he stopped himself from falling to the ground.


    Zhan Chen didn''t miss this chance to strike. He thrusted his sword towards the chest of the Gu family warrior. The Gu family warrior tried to block the attack of Zhan Chen but he was one stepte. A instance of carelessness brought his downfall.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop as his figure shed towards the location of Zhan Qingyue. She was fighting with a person who had already reached the peak stage of the Meridian opening realm.


    No one dared to stop Zhan Chen from moving towards Zhan Qingyue as the Gu family warriors tried to stay away from this devil incarnate. Even some Zhan family warriors had a hint of fear in their eyes as they stared at the figure of Zhan Chen. There was respect in most of their eyes as they looked at the shing figure of Zhan Chen.


    "Big sis, move away. Let me handle this guy", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Little Chen, why have youe? It is dangerous here", Zhan Qingyue replied in a concerned voice.


    "Ok then, we will attack together", Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly and decided to attack together with his big sister. Zhan Qingyue nodded her head and started to attack more fiercely.


    Zhan Chen quitely observed the techniques of his big sister. Her movements were polished and she was holding her sword with proper angle. Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing her attacking stance.


    He decided to join in the fun and swung his sword towards the peak stage Meridian opening realm warrior of the Gu family. The situation was initially a stalemate but with the addition of Zhan Chen, the warrior of Gu family fell to a disadvantage.


    Soon, Zhan Qingyue found an opening and a sword cut appeared on the chest of the Gu family warrior. The Gu family warrior fought ferociously but his body couldn''t hold up after some more sword injuries. He started to fall back and Zhan Chen who was only defending untill now made his move. His sword bypassed the defence of the Gu family warrior and struck the belly of the Gu family warrior.


    Blood poured out from his belly as Zhan Chen struck once again. The struggling Gu family warrior fell to ground after Zhan Chen made his second attack.


    "Little Chen, are you okay?" Zhan Qingyue asked worriedly. She was not aware of the deeds of Zhan Chen in this battle. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have felt so much concern for Zhan Chen who had yed most of the Meridian opening realm warriors of the Gu family.


    "This guy is a monster. I am thinking whether he is a good match for young miss or not but now I can rest assured", Liu Nanxi spoke as he saw the peak stage Meridian opening realm warrior of the Gu family got yed by Zhan Chen.


    A sweet smile appeared on the beautiful face of Shen Ruyan as she stared at Zhan Chen without blinking her eyes.


    "Young miss, you should tell Zhan Chen about the Grand sectpetition. I think he will be interested", Liu Nanxi spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head as she kept looking at the distant figure of Zhan Chen.


    ------------


    The battle ended more quickly than others had anticipated. The prediction of many proved to be wrong as Zhan family managed to not only defend but they alsopletely defeated the Gu family who had the numerical advantage with them.


    It was already deep in night. So, the witnessing factions chose not to disturb Zhan family members. They decided to visit the Zhan family in the morning.


    The Zhan family manor was well lit as a jubnce mood spread among all of its members. The Zhan family guards gathered in groups and started to drink to their hearts'' content. They were celebrating their victory as the past few days pressured them to death.


    "I have never thought that fourth young master is such a incredible person", a skinny looking guardmented.


    "It may sound stupid but I think he can surpass our old general", another soldier added.


    "We don''t need topare fourth young master with supreme general. Everyone just need to know one thing. That is no one can stop our Zhan family as long as fourth young master is alive", a burly looking man said in a solemn voice.


    "Long live fourth young master"


    "Long live our Zhan family",


    The Zhan family guards shouted and gulped down jug full of wine.


    "Where is little Chen?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked Li Qingzhao.


    "Chen''er should be in his room. Shall I send someone to call him?", Li Qingzhao asked.


    "No need to bother him. We will talk with him in the morning. For now, we four sisters should celebrate", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen spoke.


    Four exquisite looking sses were kept in front of them. The eldest aunt of Zhan Chen raised her ss and sipped the wine slowly.


    "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, why are you not drinking?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen frowned after seeing the clumsy behaviour of others.


    "Qingyue, go away. Wine is not for little girls", the second aunt of Zhan Chen shouted as she chased away her daughter. Zhan Qingyue pouted but she still went away. Her mind was not with his aunts and mother as she walked towards the room of Zhan Chen.


    "Little Chen", Zhan Qingyue called out after reaching the courtyard of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was standing outside his room as he was thinking about something. It felt like heprehended something in today''s battle but he couldn''t exact tell what it was.


    "Big sis", Zhan Chen turned his head after seeing the voice of Zhan Qingyue.


    Zhan Qingyue had already changed her battle attair. She was wearing a red coloured frock which was outlining her shapely figure.


    "Little Chen, you are amazing today. When did your strength inclreased so much?", Zhan Qingyue asked in a curious voice.


    "Big sis is also amazing", Zhan Chen said in a light voice.


    "Little Chen, don''t avoid my question", Zhan Qingyue pouted at Zhan Chen


    "Big sis, you are looking beautiful", Zhan Chen said as he looked at the displeased expression of Zhan Qingyue which waslooking very enchanting to his eyes.


    Her cheeks reddened after seeing the intense look of Zhan Chen.


    "Let''s go to your room", Zhan Qingyue said and without waiting for Zhan Chen, she entered inside.


    Zhan Chen''s lips curled up slightly after seeing her flustered expression. He followed behind her and closed the room after entering.


    "Little Chen, you are a rogue. I can''t stop thinking about you after that day", Zhan Qingyue muttered as she kept staring at Zhan Chen''s face. A blush appeared on her face as she saw the gaze of Zhan Chen which was all over his body.


    "Big sis, it is nice to know that you are thinking about me. Let me give you a little reward for the tiresome battle today", Zhan Chen spoke as an evil smile appeared on his handsome face.


    With a stretch of his hand, the slim figure of Zhan Qingyue entered his embrace.

 Chapter 53 - Is Not It Dirty?

    "Little Chen", Zhan Qingyue was startled for a moment when Zhan Chen pulled her to his embrace. She struggled a little involuntarily but she calmed down after an instance.


    A blush appeared on her beautiful face as she stered her head into Zhan Chen''s embrace.


    "Big sis", Zhan Chen''s heart was already in fire when he felt the hot breath of Qingyue on his body. He yed with her silky hair for few moments. Then he raised her chin and nted a kiss on her lips.


    Their mouths entangled with each other and Zhan Chen tasted the aromatic taste of her mouth. He pushed his tongue deep inside. His tongue touched the slippery tongue of Zhan Qingyue and both of their tongues became entangled with each other.


    Zhan Chen tasted the sweet nectar of her mouth. His hand traced the outline of her back and soon found its way towards her curvy hips.


    "Ahhhn~", Zhan Qingyue moaned as Zhan Chen squeezed her perky hips. Their mouths parted after a period of time. Zhan Qingyue''s face was already red like a red apple.


    She noticed the bulging part of Zhan Chen''s pant and her heart skipped a little. Zhan Chen pushed her to his bed and nted another kiss on her luscious lips.


    Then he untied the belt of her frock and romoved it from her body. A beautiful picture of a girl''s body appeared Infront of his eyes.


    Her neck was red and below it lied two beautiful mountains. Her waist was thin and her navel point added an artistic touch to her picture perfect body. Below her waist was herher region which was she covering with her slender hand.


    Zhan Chen fiercely gulped his saliva as he took a look at the perfect body of Zhan Qingyue. "Big sis, you are very beautiful", Zhan Chenmented.


    There was a thinyer of cloth which was holding her two mountains in shape. Zhan Chen pulled out the thin cloth and two snow white mountains appeared Infront of his eyes.


    Her n.i.p.p.l.e.s. were red. Zhan Chen circled around one of n.i.p.p.l.e with his tongue and her n.i.p.p.l.e.s became fully erect and hard.


    "Mmmmn~", Zhan Qingyue moaned as an sudden wave of pleasure coarsed through her body. Zhan Chen started to suck her b.r.e.a.s.t intently as his other hand started to go down.


    He traced the outline of her cave and gently rubbed the tiny bud which was already erect.


    "Aaah~", Zhan Qingyue moaned as her eyes grew misty due the intense amount of pleasure she was feeling. Her head was already muddle headed as she allowed Zhan Chen to do as he please.


    Zhan Chen switched to her other breast and lightly bit down her hardened nipple. His tongue moved around it as he tickled her n.i.p.p.le. with his tongue.


    His hand pushed down the thin cloth covering her sacred cave. Then he rubbed his fingers on top of her cave and yed with her erect tiny bud.


    He inserted one of his finger into her cave and gently did an inward and outward motion. Zhan Qingyue''s mind grew nk as she couldn''t keep up with the sheer amount of pleasure she was feeling.


    "Ahhhn~"


    "Mmmmn", Zhan Qingyue moaned as Zhan Chen''s finger moved inside her sacred cave


    "Little Chen, stop. I felt like peeing", Zhan Qingyue spoke while moaning nin pleasure.


    "Big sis, rx. You shouldn''t hold it. Release as much water as you want", Zhan Chen spoke as he increased the intensity of his finger.


    "Ahhh~", Zhan Qingyue moaned as her little sister twitched. Then a stream of yin water gushed out from it.


    "Little Chen, you are amazing", Zhan Qingyue murmured softly. She opened her eyes and looked at the face of Zhan Chen. She had a smitten expression on her face as she looked at Zhan Chen affectionately.


    "Big sis, how does it feel?", Zhan Chen asked with a faint smile on his face.


    "It is..... good", Zhan Qingyue replied as her pretty face reddened immediately.


    "Little Chen, can you take out your clothes? It is unfair to you if only I feel good", Zhan Qingyue asked while blushing slightly.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as he took out his robe. Her little brother raised its proud head towards Zhan Qingyue as if it was trying to show off infront of her.


    "Little Chen, is not it be a little bigger?", Zhan Qingyue spoke as she sat up. He curiousity stretched her slender hand towards the raging dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen let her hold it as he enjoyed the smooth sensation of her palm.


    "Move your hand", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Qingyue nodded her hand as she started to move her hands clumsily. Her one hand was not enough to cover his dragon. So, she put both of her hands on it.


    "It is getting more harder", Zhan Qingyue spoke as she tried her best to please Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt like he was on fire as Zhan Qingyue kept stroking his dragon with her hands.


    "Big sis, can youe move closer?", Zhan Chen asked.


    Zhan Qingyue nodded her head as she moved closer to the edge of the bed. Zhan Chen cupped her beautiful face and nted another kiss on her lips when she was stroking his little brother with her slender hands.


    "Little Chen, I am sorry. If not for my sect rules, we could have have done that thing. Now I don''t know, what to do?", Zhan Qingyue spoke as she observed the raised sword of Zhan Chen. It was already almost fifteen minutes since she had started stroking it but there was no sign of it to calm down. Zhan Qingyue felt a little anxious.


    "Big sis, you shouldn''t worry about those things. There are many ways that we can try without harming your v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y."


    "Really, are you telling the truth?", Zhan Qingyue asked as she felt curious to hear those methods.


    "Don''t be hasty. These things feel much better if you are not hasty", Zhan Chen smiled.


    "Big sis, lie down. I want to know how you taste down there", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What, you want to taste my....?", a flustered expression appeared on the face of Zhan Qingyue after she heard Zhan Chen. Her cheeks reddenedpletely as her little heart pounded rapidly.


    "Little Chen but how can you do this? Is not it dirty by my pee..pee from earlier?", Zhan Qingyue asked in a shy expression.


    "No, how can it be dirty? No body part of big sis is dirty. Now you should lie obediently and let me have a taste of your little sister", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He pushed down Zhan Qingyue and parted her legs after she lied down. Her sacred cave appeared Infront of his eyes. Zhan Chen rubbed it for a moment. Then he struck out his tongue and take a lick of her cave entrance.


    Zhan Qingyue''s body shivered as she felt a sudden shock coarsing all over her body. Zhan Chen inserted his tongue deeper and fiercely started to suck her lower lips.


    "Ahhhh", Zhan Qingyue moaned as she felt the same tickling feeling built up in her lower belly region.


    Zhan Chen massaged her tiny bud with his fingers as his mouth was busy in tasting every inch of her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhh"


    "Mmmmn", Zhan Qingyue let out erotic moans as her mind became cloudy. A rushing feeling appeared inside his body as her lower mouth twitched.


    "Little Chen, move. It ising again", Zhan Qingyue spoke as something rushed out from her sacred cave


    A puddle of water appeared on the bed as Zhan Qingyue panted heavily. "It tastes good", Zhan Chen nodded his head as he gulped down a mouthful of her sacred water.

 Chapter 54 - It Has A Sweet Taste

    Zhan Chen let Zhan Qingyue took some rest as he sat cross legged on the floor of his room. He closed his eyes and started to operate the Celestial Yin Yang sutra. Zhan Qingyue is also at the sixth stage of Meridian opening realm but she had the pure yin essence because she was still a v.i.r.g.i.n.


    The divine Yinyang diagram on his dantian lit up as the yin essence that was absorbed from Zhan Qingyue turned into pure streams of essence energy.


    Zhan Chen channeled the pure essence energy inside his opened up meridians. He stopped only after channeling thest bit of energy inside his opened up meridians.


    "The yin essence of a pure maiden is really incredible. I am thinking about the methods to reach the seventh stage of Meridian opening realm but it looks like I don''t have to think any more. Just few more rounds and I can reach the seventh stage of the Meridian opening realm", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    Actually it would be impossible for others to raise their cultivation level so much even if they were cultivating with a pure maiden of the same cultivation realm. Zhan Chen could do this only because the cultivation technique he was practicing. The divine Yinyang diagram had also a huge role as it wouldn''t allow even a drop of yin energy yo go waste.


    He opened his eyes and a curious looking Zhan Qingyue entered his eyes. Her gaze was focused on his dragon which was still standing like a towering tree.


    "Ah! liittle Chen, you are awake", Zhan Qingyue eximed.


    "Big sis, why are you looking at my little brother?", Zhan Chen asked with a teasing smile.


    "Your are Cultivating right now, right?", Zhan Qingyue asked.


    "Yes, I am cultivating. You are very helpful this time", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Really? But how is it still not normal even though you are Cultivating for half an hour? Is not cultivation difficult in this state?", Zhan Qingyue inquired.


    "Big sis, you shouldn''t worry about it. It''s demand is growing everyday. You should hurry up and help me pacify it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Oh, how should I do this then? Previously it was not satisfied even though I used both of my hands", Zhan Qingyue asked in an innocent tone.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched fiercely after he saw her expression. She was like a nk paper book when it came to dual cultivation.


    "Big sis, can you use your mouth?", Zhan Chen asked as he threw a fiery look at Zhan Qingyue.


    "I can", Zhan Qingyue blushed deeply and replied. Her cheeks reddened after she noticed Zhan Chen''s fiery gaze on her.


    "Then, should I lie down?", Zhan Chen asked. Zhan Qingyue nodded her head shyly. She was looking very beautiful with her flushed cheeks.


    Zhan Chen climbed up the bed and lied down by the side of Zhan Qingyue. He took one of her slender hands and ced it on his little brother.


    Zhan Qingyue shifted her body to get a good position. Then she lowered her head and nted a kiss on his little brother. Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched slightly after it received Zhan Qingyue''s affection.


    "Big sis, take it in", Zhan Chen spoke as he was also finding it difficult to handle his fiery desire.


    Zhan Qingyue parted her pretty lips and took in Zhan Chen''s dragon. She started to lick it as Zhan Chen started to shiver with pleasure.


    She noticed the enjoying expression of Zhan Chen while moving her mouth. So, she tried her best to give him more pleasure. Her slippery tongue moved around his spear and Zhan Chen felt light in his head by the sheer amount of pleasure.


    "Big sis, please move your mouth more deeper", Zhan Chen requested.


    Zhan Qingyue nodded her head after she noticed Zhan Chen''s almost begging expression. She blinked her pretty eyes and lowered her head to take in the long spear of of Zhan Chen.


    "Shhhh", Zhan Chen took in a deep breath as Zhan Qingyue took in almost two third of his bulging dragon. Then she started to move her tongue around it.


    She moved her mouth up and down as Zhan Chen''s dragon started to emit more heat of pleasure.


    "Big sis, I am releasing it", Zhan Chen said as his dragon spit out his Yang essence into her mouth.


    "Big sis, don''t let my yang essence out of your mouth. It can help you increasing your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Qingyue felt confused but she still tried her best to not spill down any of his Yang essence. She mped down his spear more tightly with her pretty lips.


    "Your liquid has a sweet taste", Zhan Qingyue spoke after gulping down his Yang essence. "But, why is it still raised?", She asked after noticing the little brother of Zhan Chen.


    "Big sis, please don''t worry about it. As I have said, it is growing more greedy. Instead you should focus on practicing the cultivation method I am going to write for you", Zhan Chen replied with a smile on his face.


    Although his dragon was still raised, he was feeling much better after releasing his Yang essence. He took out a piece of paper and penned down the method to cultivate the Yang essence.


    "Big sis, take a look on this method. You can absorb the energy of my yang essence after practicing the method written on it. It will help you in increasing your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    An excited expression appeared on the face of Zhan Qingyue after she heard that she could rise her cultivation. As a cultivation fanatic, she couldn''t brush away the allure of raising her cultivation.


    "Then, I will take it. Little Chen, you should rest. I will visit you tomorrow", Zhan Qingyue. Spoke. She wiped her mouth with a cloth. Then she picked up her clothes and put them on.


    "Little Chen, good night", Zhan Qingyue spoke and left the room of Zhan Chen.


    "Big sis, good night", Zhan Chen shouted as he saw her off from his livingplex. A smile on his face as he watched her leaving figure.


    "I love her much more than I have imagined", Zhan Chen muttered as he noticed Zhan Qingyue''s fading figure in darkness.


    "I should take a look at the diagram space. It has been a while since I have went to read in that space", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.

 Chapter 55 - Teaching A Lesson To An Arrogant Young Man

    Zhan Chen poured his spiritual energy into the divine diagram and a faint glow appeared on the surface of the diagram. It sucked away his soul and Zhan Chen found himself in the familiar looking hazy atmosphere.


    He walked forward and the ancient tform appeared Infront of his eyes. Zhan Chen walked to the top of the raised tform and took a look at the collection of books and scrolls.


    This time a book on inscription piqued his interest. There were many kinds of strange books stored on the top of the raised tform but Zhan Chen was looking for the books which was of immediate use to him.


    Besides Alchemy, he was also proficient in formation techniques and the formation techniques were considered as a branch of the Inscription techniques. Zhan Chen sat crossegged and opened the book on inscription techniques.


    ''Mysteries of divine Inscription'', the entire book was written in ancient divinenguage. Zhan Chen turned it''s cover and started to read the contents of the book.


    "What! One can draw different types of divine symbols after deciphering thews of heaven", Zhan Chen eximed while reading the book of Mysteries of divine Inscription.


    An entirely new world appeared Infront of him. The thing that intrigued him the most was the fact that one can use inscription technique on pills. It would enhance the quality of the pill and could help in progressing it''s grade. But the most important thing was that it had high demand on spiritual energy.


    Zhan Chen continued to read and he came out only after finishing the book of Mysteries of divine Inscription. "Interesting, such a book could be considered rare even in that legendary world", Zhan Chen thought to himself after reading the book. A look of yearning appeared on his face when he thought about that legendary world.


    "I wonder what time it is!", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He came out of the diagram world and threw a look at outside. It was already dark and the Zhan family was well lit with the numerous glowing fire torches.


    He spread his soul consciousness to the outside and a dumbfounded look appeared on his face after seeing the crowd gathered inside the Zhan family estate. His mother and aunts were busy in attaining to the guests. His gaze moved elsewhere and he noticed Zhan Qingyue. His was currently speaking with a bunch of pretty looking girls.


    A frown appeared on his face after he noticed the infuriated look on the face of Zhan Qingyue. He swiftly came out of his room and walked towards the guest hall of the Zhan family.


    "Qingyue, you can''t fight him just because you are also from a sect. The Ye family is unlike Gu family. It will be best if Zhan Chen do note out. Otherwise, no one can do anything to them if something happens to him", a pretty looking girl murmured. She was currently holding the hand of Zhan Qingyue who had an infuriated look on her face.


    "Big sis, what is the matter?", the voice of Zhan Chen interrupted their conversation. "Little Chen!", Zhan Qingyue''s face changed after she heard the voice of Zhan Chen.


    "You are Zhan Chen? You better go away. Otherwise, no one can save you from Ye Lang", the pretty looking girl who was holding the hand of Zhan Qingyue shouted.


    "Hmm! And you are?", Zhan Chen asked after hearing the rude voice of the pretty looking girl.


    "You can ask about meter. You should go away now. You can''t do anything even you know about this matter", the pretty looking girl replied with an inpatient voice.


    "Sister Ting is right. Little Chen, we can talk againter. For now, you should leave the guest hall", Zhan Qingyue spoke with an anxious voice.


    "Tsk! Tsk, what is the hurry. Since you havee, you can forget about running away", a voice came from a distance just before Zhan Qingyue could end her line.


    Zhan Chen turned his gaze and soon found the owner of the voice. It was a young man with sharp looking feature. He was surrounded by a group of fawningckeys.


    There were two old men who were following behind the young man. They were maintaining a certain distance from him but anyone with discerning eyes could tell that they were watching over the young man .


    "Ye Lang?", Zhan Chen frowned while looking at the young man. He couldn''t remember when he offended this young man.


    "What is your business with me?", Zhan Chen asked in an indifferent voice.


    "I heard that you were quite brave in the yesterday battle", the young man replied with a smile.


    "This has nothing to do with you", Zhan Chen said with an impatient voice.


    A cold glint appeared in the smiling face of Ye Lang but he had managed to cover it up in time. "Initially, this has nothing to do with me. But your showing off manages to give you an undeserved reputation. I bet if you are feeling happy now", Ye Lang added while maintaining that smiling expression on his face.


    "What an idiot. Do you only know how to talk rubbish?", Zhan Chen replied with a mocking look on his face.


    "You!....Brat, do you dare to ept a challenge from me? I will prove to everyone that you are nothing but a clown. Although you have managed to cultivate again but a cripple can never be a genius", Ye Lang asked in a provoking manner. He couldn''t hide his hostility anymore after hearing the earlierment of Zhan Chen.


    "Young man, how dare you?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen shouted loudly. The Zhan family members threw murderous res at Ye Lang.


    "Young man, don''t think we can not do anything just because your family is a branch of Ye n. If they dare to do anything, then I promise, even the Ye n has to pay the price", the second aunt of Zhan Chen said coldly. She was holding the hand of Li Qingzhao who was trying hard to contain her tear drops.


    A cold look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after he saw the reaction of his aunts and mother. Initially, he wouldn''t have bother about such provocation. A jealous young man is nothing infront of his eyes. But after seeing the expression of his mother, Zhan Chen felt truly angered.


    "Ye Lang, right? Let''s see whether you canst a minute infront of me", Zhan Chen spoke as his figure shed. He appeared Infront of Ye Lang in an instant.


    His hand moved like a w and before Ye Lang could understand, Zhan Chen was holding the neck of Ye Leng.


    Zhan Chen lifted up his hand and the body of Ye Lang stayed suspended in the air. "A mere trash, yet you dare run your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke coldly.


    He tightened his grip and swung his hand towards the ground fiercely. The body of Ye Lang collided violently with the stone floor. Zhan Chen picked up Ye Lang again and the bloodied face of Ye Lang came to everyone''s view. His eyes were nk as he had already passed out after the fierce collision with the stone floor.


    "Young man, you have a death wish", the old guards of Ye Lang, cried out furiously. They were at a certain distance away from Ye Lang. So, they couldn''t reach in time when Zhan Chen lifted up Ye Lang.


    "Young man, you better let go of our young master. You should pray that nothing has happened to him. Otherwise, your puny Zhan family can''t bear the consequences", a old man spoke with a furious tone.


    "Ok, I will release him", Zhan Chen nodded his head at the old man. He loosened up his grip and the body of Ye Lang came out from his hand and collided with the stone floor again.


    Many people shivered after seeing the action of Zhan Chen. Some had gloating expression in their faces as they could imagine a cmity falling upon Zhan family.

 Chapter 56 - Mysterious Senior

    "You little bastard", one of the old guard shouted. His figure shed and along with other guard, he pounced towards Zhan Chen. A glint appeared on Zhan Chen''s eyes as he saw both the old guardsing towards him.


    Even before forming his pseudo soul, he was capable of handling peak stage true essence realm experts. But using his spiritual energy would have put strain on his soul as his soul was heavily injured because of the past life war.


    Now the things were different as he had already formed a pseudo soul. Moreover, it was a pleasant surprise for him when he discovered the soul healing property of his Yang energy.


    It was no longer difficult to handle a peak stage true essence realm expert. He decided to use a soul attack when the peak stage True essence realm guards of the Ye Lang came closer to him. A killing intent appeared on his eyes as he looked at the approaching guards of Ye Lang.


    He was fully prepared to kiil both of the True essence realm experts but a sudden change happened in the surrounding.


    Sound of bricks falling came as the entrance of guest pce broke apart. Arge hand came from the broken entrance and swiftly caught both of the old guards.


    "Just some minor True essence realm trashes and yet you dare to harm the members of my Zhan n. This king has no nning to appear yet you have forced my hand. So be it. You two will be the first sacrifice for atoning my sins. As a sinner of Zhan n, I must butcher every enemy of my Zhan n to atone for my sins", a hoarse voice with a tinge of ancient feeling came out from the distant sky.


    "Ancestors, please ept these small sacrifices. This sinner will butcher anyone who dare to harm our remaining members. I will guard this family till the end of my pathetic life", the ancient voice spoke solemnly. His voice was grand and majestic. Everyone present could feel the determination of the owner of the ancient voice.


    "Senior, please show mercy", the two old men shivered after they heard the words of the mysterious expert. Their bodies were shivering but they had no power to push away therge hand.


    "Puchi", therge hand clenched it''s fist and two bodies burst apart into bloody mesh. After killing the two old men, thege hand went out of the hall and disappeared into nothingness.


    "Senior, thanks for your assistance", Zhan Chen bowed his head. He was a proud person but he had deep respect for suchpersons who could give their life to protect their loved ones. He had seen such persons in the final hours of his past life and now he found another one who had such determination. Moreover, from the looks of the things, this mysterious person seemed like an ancestor of their Zhan family.


    "All Zhan family members, kneel down. We must thank senior for his assistance", the eldest aunt of Zhan familymanded. All the Zhan family members knelt down and paid their respects to the mysterious expert.


    The mysterious senior didn''t speak another word again but everyone knew that no one could find trouble with the Zhan family from now on. Their behaviour also grew more respectful towards the Zhan family members.


    The Zhan family arranged arge banquet for everyone present. The jubnt night was restored after the Zhan family guards cleaned up the messy floor.


    "Who has invited this Ye Lang?", Zhan Chen looked towards his big sister. The Ye family members were acting overbearing earlier. So, he decided to find out the cause of trouble.


    "No one has invited him. He hase on his own ord. He followed after big sister Ting and her family members when they started their journey towards our Red cloud city", Zhan Qingyue spoke with an angered voice on her tone.


    "But it is fortunate that little Chen is more powerful. Otherwise, I don''t know what to do to that arrogant boy", Zhan Qingyue added further. Her little heart had stopped for a moment when Zhan Chen confronted Ye Lang.


    "Why is that Ye Lang so hostile towards me? I can''t recall if we have any previous grudge?", Zhan Chen asked with confusion in his voice.


    "Obviously it is for sister Ting''s junior sister. Have you forgot that her Mo family has a marriage agreement with our Zhan family?", Zhan Qingyue rolled her eyes.


    "Marriage agreement?", Zhan Chen became stunned for a moment. An ufortable memory resurfaced in his brain.


    A small girl with two yful bangs on her head appeared inside his mind. In his memory, that girl was chasing after his smaller version to beat him up. "That barbarian girl", Zhan Chen muttered as he somehow understood the crux of this matter.


    "Who are you calling barbarian?", Mo Ting yelled out after hearing the muttering of Zhan Chen. Zhan Qingyue giggled after seeing the lost expression of Zhan Chen.


    "Liittle Chen, Qingxian is no longer that little girl who loved to beat you around. She is now the topmost beauty of the Green mist city. She has countless admirers and this Ye family brat is one of them", Zhan Qingyue spoke with a smile.


    "That little barbarian has admirers?", Zhan Chen felt confused as he couldn''t imagine how a hauty little girl could be a beauty in five years.


    "You will know when you see her. Moreover, you shouldn''t tell the word barbarian infront of her. Otherwise, she will beat you up again", Mo Ting spoke.


    "Little Chen, you have managed to beat Ye Lang but you shouldn''t provoke your future wife. She has already reached the True essence realm after entering the Xuantian hall of Green mist city", Zhan Qingyue reminded Zhan Chen.


    "Oh, interesting. Let''s see if she dare mess with me after I see her again", Zhan Chen smiled. He could recall the words of that little girl. "I will marry you when you can beat me in a fight. Otherwise, yo can forget about marrying me".


    "Zhan Chen, are you going to the grand sectpetition?", Mo Ting asked.


    "Grand sectpetition?", Zhan Chen recalled Shen Ruyan speaking about it. "I have yet to decide but most probably I will go", Zhan Chen replied. He also wanted to see the power level of the top factions of Northern desert continent.

 Chapter 57 - Difficulty Of Firecloud Treasure Pavilion

    "Big sis, I have not noticed untill now. Congrattion for reaching the seventh stage of Meridian opening realm", Zhan Chen smiled at Zhan Qingyue.


    Earlier he was in a hurry and the matter escted with the Ye family members. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have missed such an obvious details. A smile blossomed on the beautiful face of Zhan Qingyue after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. She recalled something and a red blush appeared on her pretty face.


    "Little Chen, what is your cultivation now? Earlier, you have managed to defeat that Ye Lang easily", Zhan Qingyue asked with a curious tone.


    The ears of nearby girls perked up as they waited for Zhan Chen''s reply. Ye Lang was a famous genius of Red mist city as he had reached the peak stage of Meridian opening realm in the age of eighteen. Now that Zhan Chen had defeated him infront of everyone, the curiousity about his cultivation level grew in everyone''s mind.


    "I am now at fifth stage of Meridian opening realm", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Little Chen, are you telling the truth? Are not you at the first stage of Meridian opening realm, when we attained theing of age ceremony?", Zhan Qingyue inquired.


    "Yes, I was at first stage of Meridian opening realm at that time", Zhan Chen admitted as he had nothing to hide.


    "Then, how is it possible! It has only been three days yet you have managed to progress four stages", Zhan Qingyue''s eyes widened as she looked at Zhan Chen with disbelief in her eyes. No matter how much she trusted Zhan Chen, she couldn''t understand how one could raise cultivation level in such a manner.


    "You! Are you telling the truth? Are you only at fifth stage of Meridian opening realm?", Mo Ting asked with a surprised voice. Zhan Chen didn''t bother to reply as he was slightly displeased towards this tall, pretty looking girl. He only calmly stared at her without saying anything.


    "It is unbelievable! A fifth stage Meridian opening realm cultivator defeating a peak stage Meridian opening realm. Moreover, Ye Lang is a famous genius who can give a fight to the ordinary early stage True essence realm experts", Mo Ting murmured as she didn''t mind Zhan Chen ignoring her.


    "Chen''er,e here. The second elder of Mo family wants to see you", Li Qingzhao shouted from a distance.


    "Big sis, we can talkter. I have to go there for now", Zhan Chen spoke. Zhan Qingyue nodded her head with a smile and Zhan Chen walked towards the ce where his aunts and mother were talking with other important guests.


    "Chen''er, he is the second elder of Mo family. Greet him first", Li Qingzhao reminded.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen cupped his fists towards the second elder of Mo family. The Mo family second elder was an amiable looking middle-aged man. He was silently observing every movement of Zhan Chen since the beginning. He nodded with a smile when Zhan Chen greeted him.


    "Young man, are you going to participate in the uing Grand sectpetition?", the second elder of Mo family asked.


    "Yes, I am going to participate. I need to see the level of the geniuses of this continent", Zhan Chen replied.


    "How confident you are?", the second elder of Mo family asked. His question may seemed like utter nonsense as everyone knew how difficult it was to get a rank in the Grand sectpetition is. But he still asked this question to Zhan Chen who was at Fifth stage of Meridian opening realm.


    "Elder Cheng, he is only sixteen this year. He can still attend thepetition after he be neen year old", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen interjected from side.


    "Never mind. I am just curious", the second elder of Mo family smiled but he still threw look at Zhan Chen.


    "Elder, I will definitely attend the Grand sectpetition this time. You can see for yourself my performance at that time", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile. The second elder of Mo family nodded his head with a smile after he heard Zhan Chen''s reply.


    "Fourth young master, someone from the Firecloud treasure pavilion is here to visit you. She is saying that it is urgent. So, I havee to find you", a Zhan family guard came over and informed Zhan Chen.


    "Someone from Firecloud treasure pavilion? Looks like, you brat really has some ability", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen smiled. She knew that Zhan Chen was absent from Zhan family estate because he was doing something for the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    "Ok, little Chen. You should go and see the guest of Firecloud treasure pavilion. We can talk after you are free", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen smiled at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and walked outside with the Zhan family guard.


    "Su''er, why are you here?", Zhan Chen asked after seeing the person of Firecloud treasure pavilion. She was one of the maid with whom Zhan Chen had intimate rtionship.


    "Young master, I am sorry to disturb you. Young miss has instructed not to bother you untill the gathering is over", Su''er looked at Zhan Chen with an apologetic look.


    "Ok, don''t be like this. Tell me the reason why your young miss has sent you here", Zhan Chen asked with a smile.


    "Young miss said that they need the essence condensation pill urgently. Someone from the Huo n ising over to poach grandmaster Li", Su''er spoke.


    "Young miss and manager Yao are trying their best to think of a solution but Huo n seems confident to win over grandmaster Li", Su''er spoke.


    "Oh, that exins why she has not visited me today. Ok then, wait for me here. I will return with you after bading farewell to my family members", Zhan Chen nodded his head after listening the words of Su''er.


    He entered the guest hall again and walked towards the ce where his mother and aunts were talking with other guests. "Mother, I have to leave. There is an urgent issue I need to solve for the Firecloud treasure pavilion", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Qingzhao in a low voice.


    "Chen''er, I will help you exin to your aunts. You should go and help Ruyan", Li Qingzhao replied. Zhan Chen then informed Zhan Qingyue about his departure. Then he left the Zhan family estate with Su''er.


    A figure appeared out of darkness after they had left the Zhan family estate. It was old woman Liu Nanxi who always loved to stay in the shadow.


    "Brat, let''s hurry over. It is urgent this time", Liu Nanxi spoke and took Zhan Chen and Su''er with her.

 Chapter 58 - Extracting The Essence Of The Herbs

    "Zhan Chen, you havee finally. I don''t know what to do with this matter", Shen Ruyan spoke as a trace of hope appeared in her eyes.


    She seemed anxious and the face of manager Yao was also same. Their anxiousness could be seen from their faces.


    "What happened?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "The Huo family couldn''t produce an Essence condensation pill but they are offering a grade five soul nourishing herb to grandmaster Li.A grade five soul nourishing herb is too great of an attraction for Grandmaster Li", Shen Ruyan replied.


    "When are they arriving at the ce of Grandmaster Li?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "They will most probably reach at his ce in tomorrow afternoon. We also need minimum six hours to reach the ce of Grandmaster Li", Shen Ruyan replied.


    "So, we still have the time. No need to worry then", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Have you gathered all the herbs I have asked for?", Zhan Chen asked. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and took out some exquisite looking wooden boxes.


    "Check and see if anything is missing. This time it is all thanks to the effort of Aunt Liu. Otherwise, I could not have have managed to gather these herbs before tomorrow morning", Shen Ruyan replied.


    "Oh! Are not these herbs only grade three? Why do you need to bother aunt Liu? It shouldn''t be a problem considering the capacity of your Firecloud treasure pavilion", Zhan Chen asked in confusion.


    Although the herbs needed for concocting an Essence condensation pill is numerous but the Firecloud treasure pavilion is dealing with fourth grade herbs since it''s establishment. So, Zhan Chen felt confused after hearing that Shen Ruyan faced trouble while gathering the herbs.


    "What do you know? Some herbs you have written were more rarer than grade four herbs. Especially the five coloured lily. It could only be found in where five heavenly elements gathered together", Shen Ruyan rolled her eyes at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled after hearing her annoyed voice. He chose not to question her anymore. "Ok then, leave this matter to me. The pill furnace is still there, right?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, It is still there", Shen Ruyan nodded her head.


    "Has your teacher agreed to help us? This time it is very important for my Firecloud treasure pavilion?", Shen Ruyan asked in an anxious voice.


    Zhan Chen ft a headache when he heard Shen Ruyan taking the name of his teacher. "Don''t worry. Everything going to be alright. It is mearly a grade three pill. Even grade four pills are not a problem to me", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    "Young miss, I am going then. Number of visitors has increased since the battle between Zhan family and Gu family. I need to personally see the proceedings", manager Yao spoke.


    "Ok, we will talkter", Shen Ruyan replied and the manager Yao left the main hall of second floor. Liu Nanxi had already left. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and could not find her in the vicinity. His soul consciousness spread towards the nearby building and Zhan Chen found her standing on top of a nearby building. Her gaze was still focused on Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    "This woman really takes the security of Shen Ruyan seriously. It will be beast if I help her in increasing her strength. That way Ruyan will be more safer", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "When will your teacher going to visit or do you have to deliver these herbs to him?", Shen Ruyan asked in a curious voice.


    Zhan Chen shifted his gaze and smiled towards Shen Ruyan. "Looks like you are still thinking about the Essence condensation pill. I am feeling a heartche Now. My woman is giving her attention to a mere pill rather than focusing on me", Zhan Chen spoke. Even he felt disbelief after saying such a flowery sentence as it was impossible for him to utter such words in his previous life. Here, the memory of his present life came to y.


    Shen Ruyan blushed after hearing the line of Zhan Chen. "What nonsense are you talking? I didn''t know that you are capable of saying such words", Shen Ruyan said in a sweet voice.


    Zhan Chen stood up and lifted the chin of Shen Ruyan. Then he nted a kiss on Shen Ruyan''s juicy lips.


    "Zhan Chen, stop. Su''er and Ling''er is still watching", Shen Ruyan said shyly after freeing her lips from Zhan Chen. She had not expected that Zhan Chen would act so suddenly.


    "Don''t worry about them. They are already my women", Zhan Chen spoke while smiling towards both of the maids. A redness appeared on the cheeks of Su''er and Ling''er after they heard Zhan Chen. Shen Ruyan also blushed after hearing Zhan Chen admitting there rtionship so openly.


    "Ok, no need to bother about such minor details. Come with me to the pill room. Let me help you in rxing your mind. You are worrying too much for a mere grade three pill", Zhan Chen spoke and walked towards the pill room.


    Shen Ruyan follwed after him and entered the pill room. "Let me make one thing clear first. I never had a teacher in this life. I need to make such a lie to make things more believable", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What? How is it possible?", Shen Ruyan blurted out after being stunned for a moment. Her gaze moved towards Zhan Chen as she saw a serious look in Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Then what about your alchemy acheivement?", Shen Ruyan asked with surprise.


    "Ruyan, do you believe me?", Zhan Chen asked. Shen Ruyan nodded her head in return.


    "Then what if I tell you I have recovered the memory of my past life. I have a decent acheivement in the alchemy in my past life", Zhan Chen looked at Shen Ruyan.


    "Oh, such a miracle really happened! But what are you going to do with the essence condensation pill", Shen Ruyan took sometime to reply. There was still a hint of shock in her beautiful face.


    "Don''t worry. I am going to concoct the Essence condensation pill myself", Zhan Chen replied. Shen Ruyan nodded her head as she sat down folding her legs.


    She chose to observe Zhan Chen''s face instead. There was some shock and curiousity in her eyes when he looked at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was sitting cross legged with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes after few minutes. He took out the herbs from the wooden boxes and started to sort them out.


    ''Red spine grass''


    ''Spirit Bamboo shoot''


    ''Sparrow Lotus flower''


    ''Ten petal flower''


    ''Purple spirit leaf''


    Zhan Chen took out the spirit herbs one by one and sorted them ording. A faintly glowing me appeared on his palm as he channeled the spiritual energy of his pseudo soul.


    Without throwing any herbs inside the pill furnace, he chose to heat it first. The pill furnace started to became reddish after Zhan Chen heat it for five minutes.


    Zhan Chen took out the lead of the pill furnace and a burning heat came out from the pill furnace. Zhan Chen threw the ''ten petal flower'' inside and closed off the lead.


    It took only three minutes to extract the essence of the Ten petal flower. He threw in other herbs one by one and within fifteen minutes he extracted the essence of the other herbs. There was only one herb remained which was still inside the exquisite looking wooden box.


    Shen Ruyan had a stunned look on his face as she witnessed such heaven defying Essence extraction method. She had seen many grand masters concocting pill but she had never seen anyone who could do this in such a short period of time.


    Zhan Chen threw a smile at her after he finished extracting the herbs. Her stunned expression felt very charming to Zhan Chen.


    "Ruyan, close off your mouth. Otherwise, flies going to find their ways there", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile.

 Chapter 59 - Essence Condensation Pill

    "Ruyan, close off your mouth. Otherwise, flies going to find their ways into your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile. Shen Ruyan blushed slightly after hearing Zhan Chen''s teasing.


    "Zhan Chen, what is that fire?", she hurriedly closed her mouth and asked out the question that was bothering her since Zhan Chen started refining the herbs.


    "Are you talking about it?", Zhan Chen smiled and the faintly glowing soul fire appeared on his palm. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and looked curiously towards the faintly glowing fire.


    "It is soul fire. Have you ever heard of it?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile. Shen Ruyan shook her head.


    "How do you manage to bring it out?", she asked out again. An amused look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after he saw her expression.She was looking like a curious girl who had chanced upon a shiny treasure.


    "Ruyan, you are looking too cute now", Zhan Chen said with a chuckle. He stretched out his hand pinched her lovely cheeks. Shen Ruyan blushed while lowering her eyes.


    "It is an ability rted to soul. Don''t overthink about it. You will learn about it when you reach the realm above Core Condensation realm", Zhan Chen exined.


    Shen Ruyan nodded her head as a thoughtful look appeared on her beautiful face. She discarded her stray thoughts after Zhan Chen started the refinement.


    Zhan Chen took out the exquisite looking wooden case where the five coloured lily was stored. He opened its cover and a fragrant smell came out of it.


    "What a pleasant smell!", Shen Ruyan murmured in an inaudible voice. Zhan Chen ced the five coloured lily on his left palm and started to refine it by the help of his right palm.


    Faintly glowing soul fire came out of right palm and he ced it on top of the five coloured lily. Shen Ruyan''s eyes widened after she saw what Zhan Chen was doing. She had never heard of any alchemist who would refine herbs in such a manner. She kept her shock inside her mind and observed Zhan Chen without blinking her eyelids.


    Zhan Chen''s hand moved slightly after soome seconds but input of soul fire remained same. He kept pouring his spiritual energy in a constant pace.


    His hand moved rhythmically after the interval of few seconds. Within few minutes, he had touched every part of the five coloured lily with his soul fire. He continued to repeat his action for another few minutes. The multicoloured surface of the lily started to became transparent after it received constant heat of the soul fire.


    "It is time", Zhan Chen murmured as he took out the essence of ten petal flower and poured it on top of the five coloured lily. He created a barrier around his palm using his spiritual energy. The barrier was necessary to create as without it, the liquid essence of ten petal flower would have spilled out from his hand.


    The five coloured lily grew more transparent but the most surprising fact was that the liquid essence of ten petal flower started to sip into the surface of the five coloured lily. Zhan Chen had already knew it. So, he kept channeling his soul fire from his right palm.


    A bright luster came out from the five coloured lily after it took in all the essence of the ten petal flower. Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing the brighter five coloured lily.


    He took off the lid of the pill cauldron and ced the transparent looking five coloured lily inside it. He put in other medicinal extracts one by one and closed off the lid.


    The intensity of his soul fire increased as Zhan Chen heat up the cauldron. The spiritual energy of his pseudo soul started to drain out rapidly but Zhan Chen kept pouring spiritual essence without any care.


    This was the benefit of forming a pseudo soul as one could use spiritual energy without slightly burdening his body. Zhan Chen switched to using his main soul after fifteen minutes. The spiritual energy stored inside his pseudo soul was almost empty. So, Zhan Chen was forced to use his main soul.


    Beads of sweat started to appear on his head as Zhan Chen kept channeling his spiritual energy. It took another fifteen minutes to concoct the Essence condensation pill.


    "Finally it is done", Zhan Chen murmured as he put off his soul fire. He took out a jade bottle and opened the lid of the pill furnace. A strong medicinal smell came out from the pill furnace after Zhan Chen opened up the lid.


    He took out a transparent looking pill from the pill furnace and stored it inside the jade bottle. "Here is your pill", Zhan Chen ced the jade bottle near Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan did not look at the jade bottle immediately. She brought out a handkerchief and wiped off the sweat drops from Zhan Chen''s forehead.


    "Are you feeling tired?", she asked after wiping his sweat drops.


    "It is slightly taxing but I will be fine after cultivating for a period of time", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Actually, there is a way to recover within a short period. But I need your help", Zhan Chen spoke with serious look on his face.


    "Tell me about it. I will do my best to help you", Shen Ruyan replied.


    "Ok then, let''s go to your bedroom. I will bepletely okay once the night is over", Zhan Chen smiled as he threw a burning gaze at Shen Ruyan''s alluring figure.


    "You!", Shen Ruyan felt speechless after listening to the words of Zhan Chen. A blush appeared on her charming face as she shyly threw a look at Zhan Chen.


    "Ok, wait. I have to take a bath first", Shen Ruyan spoke as she hurriedly fled the room. Zhan Chen smiled and left the room after picking up the jade bottle.


    Su''er and Ling''er were still on the main hall. They threw weired gazes at Zhan Chen because they had seen their young missing out of the closed room with a reddened face.


    Zhan Chen didn''t mind their gazes. Instead he chose to take a look at their bodies. Su''er was wearing a well fit long dress. The dress was disying all of her perfect body curves.


    Ling''er was wearing a red coloured frock. The frock was slightly short as it was exposing her beautiful long legs.


    Zhan Chen gulped down his saliva as his little brother reacted a little. Su''er and Ling''er felt his gaze on their bodies as their cheeks reddened.


    "You two,e over. Let us have fun untill Ruyan is here", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He didn''t wait for them to react as he pulled both of them into his embrace. He lowered his head and nted a kiss on each of their tender lips.


    His hands roamed around their tender backs as he shared a passionate kiss with each of them.


    "Young master, it is the main hall", Ling''er spoke shyly.


    "Rx, we are not doing those things here. Moreover, your young miss ising over soon. So, you girls have to wait a little", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You girls are not going to me me for this, right?", Zhan Chen asked but his hands didn''t remain idle as he was squeezing their spongy b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.


    "Mmmmn~, young master, you are so amazing. Why should we me you? ", Ling''er squeezed out some words while trying to suppress her moan.


    "Young master, actually it didn''t feel good anymore on our own. You are so good that day that I cann''t forget about it even if I want", Su''er looked at Zhan Chen with a misty expression on her eyes. Zhan Chen could see desire and yearning for him in her eyes. Ling''er was shy but she also had simr look in her eyes.


    "It is said that no woman can forget the touch of evil emperor even if he touched them only once. Looks like as his student I am also going towards that direction", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    "Let''s try a thing then. A true dual cultivator can satisfy a woman with a single touch of his hand. Female body has countless pleasure points. One can not truly master it without gaining experience", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.

 Chapter 60 - A Night Of Fulfillment

    "Let''s try a thing then. A true dual cultivator can satisfy a woman with a single touch of his hand. Female body has countless pleasure points. One can not truly master it without gaining experience", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    Zhan Chen kissed the lips of Su''er once again. His tongue entangled with her slipply tongue and Zhan Chen happily exchanged his saliva with the slippery tongue of her.


    After a intimate kiss with Su''er, he switched to Ling''er. He nnted an agressive kiss on Ling''er. Her shy tongue tried to hide but Zhan Chen chased down it with his own tongue. He wrapped her tongue with his own and tasted her sweet tasting saliva with his mouth.


    "Su''er, Ling''er, keep both your hands on this table and show your back towards me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Su''er and Ling''er followed his instruction and obediently show their back towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen tried his best to keep his raging dragon on check.


    He admired the beautiful view of their curvy backs for a moment. Then he stretched out both of his hands and ced his fingers on both of their necks.


    He recalled the various pleasure points of a female body. His fingers moved ordingly and touched the pleasure points of their necks.


    ''Hmmmm~''


    ''Mmmmn~'', two lovely moans escaped the mouth of Su''er and Ling''er as they felt a tingling sensation spread across their bodies.


    Countless nerves connected to the backbone of a human body. Countless nerves meant numerous pleasure points were there connected to the backbone of a female body.


    Zhan Chen slid down his fingers as he traced their curvy backs along with his fingers. His fingers ran in a specific pattern as Zhan Chen touched many of their pleasure points while sliding his fingers down.


    ''Mmmmm~''


    ''Nnnnnnnn~'', the delicate body of Su''er and Ling''er shivered as countless pleasure points became activated in their bodies. Their bodies heat up as they moved their heads to look at Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Su''er, Ling''er, how are you feeling?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile. His hand didn''t stop as he traced their back in a downward to upward motion.


    "Ah! young master, it ising", Su''er moaned as she couldn''t hold back anymore. A feeling of incredible pleasure came to her mind as her innerwear became wet by her own liquid.


    "Mmmmm~", Ling''er tried to held back her moan but still a faint moan escaped her mouth. Zhan Chen''s little brother twitched violently after he heard the words of her.


    "Mmmm~Young master, what should I do? It is not stopping", Ling''er spoke as streams of fragrant water flooded her inner cloth.


    Zhan Chen turned their bodies around and kissed both of their lips once again. Su''er and Ling''er''s faces were red as they shyly looked at Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, my clothes are already wet. I need to change them", Su''er spoke in a charming voice. She left hurriedly after throwing another blushing nce at Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, I am also going. Ling''er loves you very much", Ling''er spoke as she pecked on his left cheek before leaving.


    "This girl", Zhan Chen murmured as he touched the wet ce on his cheek.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know what to do as he couldn''t see a single soul for next few minutes. When he was thinking about checking on Shen Ruyan, a familiar fragrace came from a side.


    He turned his gaze and the mesmerizing figure of Shen Ruyan entered his view.


    "Ruyan, you are looking very beautiful", Zhan Chen spoke as his eyes stay glued to her beautiful figure.


    Her long hair was drenched and it was sticking close to her beautiful back. There were some water droplets still present on her fair neck. With addition to her exquisite beauty, she was looking like the princess of men''s dream.


    "No wonder she always wear a veil. If her beautiful face is to be revealed infront of the world, then no one knows how many would go crazy. I am rather lucky that I gain her love without any effort", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, why are you staring at me like a fool?", Shen Ruyan asked with a smile. Her smile seemed like a blooming flower in the spring to Zhan Chen.


    "Ruyan, you are bing more pretty everyday", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile.


    "Really?", Shen Ruyan blinked her eyes. Zhan Chen nodded his head and strode towards her direction.


    He cupped her beautiful face with both of his hands and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips. Shen Ruyan cooperated fully and both tasted the taste of saliva of each other. Her mouth had a faint orchid smell. Zhan Chen moved around his tongue and tasted each corner of her mouth. Shen Ruyan also did the same as her slippery tongue entered Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    Shen Ruyan was already panting when both of their mouths separated. "We shouldn''t do it here. Let''s go to my room", Shen Ruyan spoke shyly. Zhan Chen nodded his head and led Shen Ruyan into her room.


    Zhan Chen started to remove her clothes as soon as they entered her room. Her long blue dress came off and her beautiful body came into the view of Zhan Chen.


    Shen Ruyan''s gaze fell upon Zhan Chen''s lower body. She blushed after seeing the raised tent infront of her.


    Zhan Chen''s hands didn''t bear to stay idle. He started to take off her under garments. Soon, a exquisite looking female body appeared Infront of Zhan Chen.


    Her body curves were not exaggerated but one could only speak one word ''perfect'' after seeing her naked appearamce. A wless face followed by a long slender neck, then her twin peaks and below it a beautiful valley. Her cave was hidden between her slender legs.


    "Ruyan", Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself anymore. He nted an agressive kiss on her lips. Then he pushed her towards her bed.


    He lied down on top of her body and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips. Then he moved down his head and nted a kiss on her slender neck.


    He picked up one of her fairy peaks and brought his mouth down on it. A milky smooth sensation appeared inside his mind as Zhan Chen started to suck her bouncy peak. His other hand didn''t remain idle as it tried to give different shape to her other peak.


    "Nnnnnnng~", faint moans started to came out from the mouth of Shen Ruyan as she felt the numbing pleasure all over her body.


    The pink buds on the top of her peaks became erect as Shen Ruyan''s body started to heat up. Zhan Chen circled his tongue around her erected bud and bit down on it lightly.


    "Ahhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned loudly as her mind went nk after Zhan Chen suddenly bit down on her pink bud. Zhan Chen moved to her other b.r.e.a.s.t and sucked it with all his might.


    He pushed one of hand towards her lower region and soon found his way towards her sacred cave. Her cave was already dripping wet. Zhan Chen rubbed his finger on top of it and then inserted one of his finger inside her cave.


    "Mmmmn~", Shen Ruyan moaned as a family tingling sensation spread towards her lower region.


    "Zhan Chen, stop. I don''t want it to be so soon. Let me please you instead", Shen Ruyan spoke as he pulled out the finger of Zhan Chen from her cave. She didn''t want to came out so quickly. So, she decided to make Zhan Chen feel good first.

 Chapter 61 - Twin Snake Biting Eachother

    Zhan Chen lied down on her side as he let her do as she pleased. Shen Ruyan first tried to take out his robe. Zhan Chen helped her with it and soon his naked body came to the view of Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan blushed slightly as she gave a peck on his cheek. She stretched her slender hand and caught the raging little brother of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt afortable feeling as he felt the smooth feeling of her palm. Shen Ruyan started to gently stroke his dragon as his little brother started to twitch in pleasure.


    "It has gotten bigger", Shen Ruyan spoke as he stroked the raised little brother of Zhan Chen. She started to increase the pace of her hand as Zhan Chen''s dragon started to heat up.


    Shen Ruyan moved her hand rapidly as Zhan Chen''s little brother trembled in pleasure. Shen Ruyan threw a nce at Zhan Chen. After seeing the look on his face, she nodded her head.


    "Zhan Chen, is it feeling good?", Shen Ruyan asked softly. Her hand was still stroking the raging dragon of Zhan Chen as she looked at Zhan Chen for a reply.


    "You are getting better but it will be more good, if you use your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke as he looked at Shen Ruyan with desire filled eyes.


    Shen Ruyan blushed after seeing his intense gaze on her. "Ok, then", Shen Ruyan replied shyly.


    She clenched her hand tightly on his long rod and then brought her mouth closer to his dragon. Her pink tongue came out and she licked his little dragon gently.


    A wet yet incredible feeling came to the mind of Zhan Chen as Shen Ruyan licked every corner of his rod with her lovely tongue. Then she opened her luscious lips and took in the long rod of Zhan Chen.


    She started to move her mouth up and down as Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in pleasure. "Shh!", Zhan Chen''s breathing became ragged as Shen Ruyan continued to use her mouth to please him.


    "Ruyan, keep my head in the middle of your knees and crouch down. You can still lick my little brother in that position", Zhan Chen spoke as he tried to imitate one of the posture described in the ''Divine postures of Yinyang path''.


    Shen Ruyan''s face reddened as she immediately understood the meaning of Zhan Chen. "You pervert", she lightly murmured as her cheeks reddened.


    She still moved over her knees and spread them on top of Zhan Chen''s head. Her lovely face became red like an apple as she crouched down on top of Zhan Chen. Her wet cave was currently ced on Zhan Chen''s face as her head was ced on top of his dragon.


    ''Twin snake biting each other'', Zhan Chen gulped down his saliva after seeing Shen Ruyan''s little sister on top of his face. He put a little force on her h.i.p.s as her little sister came down.


    Zhan Chen ced his mouth beneath her slit as his tongue prated into her cave.


    "Ahhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned as a sudden surge of pleasure ran down in her spine. Zhan Chen moved his tongue and started to squirm her lips.


    "Ahhhh~ Zhan Chen, it feels so good, are you doing it more often in your past life?", Shen Ruyan asked as her mind became cloudy with pleasure.


    "Nope, you are my first woman in both of my life", Zhan Chen replied. He pulled her little sister towards his mouth once again and started to suck it more intently.


    "Ahhhh~Zhan Chen, It ising", Shen Ruyan moaned. Zhan Chen pushed his tongue deeper and a stream of fragrant water came out from her sacred cave. He ced his moth on her cave and happily gulped down her yin essence.


    "It tastes good", Zhan Chenmented as he freed his mouth from her cave.


    "Ruyan, you are inconsiderate. You are supposed to do it along with me. Now, you have did it but my little brother is still in pain", Zhan Chen spoke as he intended to tease Shen Ruyan.


    "Sorry, it feels so good that I forget to move. Let''s do it again. This time I will definitely make you feel good", Shen Ruyan replied while blushing.


    "Ruyan, you are so cute. why are you saying sorry? I am just kidding with you", Zhan Chen smiled as caressed her body with his fingers.


    He moved his hands around her back and made her body morefortable. After few minutes, her body started to heat up again.


    "Slurp, slurp", ,this time it was Shen Ruyan who made her move first. Her beautiful mouth took in the long rod of Zhan Chen as she moved her mouth up and down.


    Zhan Chen also started to reciprocate as he explored the different corner of her cave wall with his tongue. Her cave was watery. Zhan Chen''s tongue easily prated deep inside her sacred cave.


    "Mmmmn~", Shen Ruyan moaned but she didn''t rse Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her mouth continued to move up and down as Zhan Chen felt incredible amount of pleasure.


    After few minutes, the familiar feeling came back as Shen Ruyan''s body started to squirm. She increased the speed of her mouth as she intended to satisfy Zhan Chen this time.


    Zhan Chen understood her intension as he didn''t hold up. His little dragon twitched as it shoot down mouthful of yang liquid into Shen Ruyan''s mouth.


    Shen Ruyan also released her yin essence at the same time as she gulped downst drop of yang essence of Zhan Chen.


    Shen Ruyan sat up as she freed her body from the grip of Zhan Chen. She lied down next to him as she ced his head on the chest of Zhan Chen.


    Few minutes passed in silence as both of them could heard each other''s heartbeat. "Zhan Chen", Shen Ruyan called out after few minutes.


    "Ruyan, what is it?", Zhan Chen asked as he heard the somewhat emotional voice of Shen Ruyan.


    "Zhan Chen, I don''t know what to do without you. I was feeling helpless before you came into my life. Now I can cultivate again but I don''t want to leave your side", Shen Ruyan spoke as her voice quivered slightly.


    "Ruyan, I will be always there whenever you need me", Zhan Chen spoke as he put his hands around the hands of Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan nodded her head as she turned around and shoved her head into Zhan Chen''s embrace. Zhan Chen put a hand on her silky hair and gently stroke her hair to make herfortable.


    "She most be feeling insecure", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, can I request something?", Shen Ruyan asked.


    "Please do ask anything you want", Zhan Chen replied.


    "You have to go to the room of Su''er and Ling''er, right?", Shen Ruyan asked.


    "Do you not want me to go?", Zhan Chen asked as he continued to stroke her silky hair.


    "It is not that. I have already found out that I can''t please you on my own. Just look at it", she pointed her hand towards Zhan Chen''s little brother which stood erect like a strong pir on its own.


    "Then what is it that you need?", Zhan Chen asked.


    A blush appeared on the beautiful face of Shen Ruyan after Zhan Chen asked her the question.


    "Is it possible to take me along when you visit Su''er and Ling''er.. It is ufortable to stay in another room when you do that with others", Shen Ruyan spoke shyly.

 Chapter 62 - Three Beautiful Flowers In One Single Vase

    A dumbfounded look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after she heard the words of Shen Ruyan. He took a moment to reply her question.


    "Ruyan, are you sure you want to do this?", Zhan Chen asked with a strange look on his face.


    Ruyan''s pretty face became much redder after she heard Zhan Chen''s question. She nodded her head shyly in reply.


    "Then, what is the need to visit their room? Is not it be better if I call them here?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "No, we should go to their room. It would be embarrassing if they see me naked from the beginning", Shen Ruyan spoke as she started to search for her clothes.


    Zhan Chen stood up leisurely after sometime. Shen Ruyan didn''t take long to put on her long dress as she didn''t wear any inner wear this time.


    He walked up to her and nted a small kiss on her lips. Then he put on her clothes and looked towards Shen Ruyan.


    "Let''s go, then. We should not make them wait any longer", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Shen Ruyan nodded and followed behind Zhan Chen. They reached the room of Su''er and Ling''er in no time.


    Zhan Chen''s interest piqued as they approached the vicinity of Su''er and Ling''er''sroom. He recalled the soul stirring scene of Su''er and Ling''er robbing their little sister with each other. He spread his soul consciousness inside the room and the alluring figures of Su''er and Ling''er appeared inside his mind.


    "These naughty little girls", he murmured as he saw the scene inside the room. Su''er and Ling''er both had removed their upper garments. Their alluring bodies were now covered with only their thin under garments.


    There was a hazy light in their room and both of them were currently kissing passionately with eachother. They were using their hands to fondle eachother''s peaks.


    "Sister, when do you think young master will visit us?", Ling''er asked as she squeezed the fleshy peak of Su''er.


    "Young master wille after visiting young miss. But it is getting harder to endure", Su''er spoke and once again took in the red lips of Ling''er.


    "Looks like we have reached at the perfect time", Zhan Chen murmured as his little brother twitched in anticipation.


    "Ruyan, will these both girlsin if I take you to see them now?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "I don''t think so. They will definitely feel shy but they will notin. We are much closer than you think. They have seen my bare body numerous times when they were helping me in bathing", Shen Ruyan replied.


    "Oh, that way it is easy", Zhan Chen nodded his head. He stretched his hand and lightly knocked on the door.


    Door was opened after few moments. Su''er had a flushed face when she opened the door. But she became startled when she saw Shen Ruyan behind Zhan Chen.


    "Young miss!", Su''er called out in surprise. Her pretty face became much redder as she felt shy. Ling''er also came out from the bed and looked shyly at Shen Ruyan.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing their expression. "Rx, she is here to join us", Zhan Chen spoke as he didn''t give any time to Su''er and Ling''er.


    He pulled both of them near him and took in the red lips of Su''er. His hand roamed around their beautiful backs as he found his way towards their perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.


    Their b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. were fleshy as Zhan Chen started to squeeze them hard. He removed his lips from Su''er and went for the lips of Ling''er.


    "Mmmm~", Su''er moaned as she threw a look at Shen Ruyan. "Young miss, please sit down on the bed", she spoke in a flushed face.


    Zhan Chen removed his lips from Ling''er lips as a string of saliva appeared in between their mouths. Zhan Chen struck his tongue out and wiped in that string of salivaing from Ling''er mouth. "It tastes good", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    Shen Ruyan went to the bed and sat on it. Her pretty eyes ewere still on Zhan Chen as she observed every bit of the action going infront of her eyes.


    She felt a weired sensation when he saw the agressive kiss between Zhan Chen and both of the girls. She didn''t exactly tell what kind of feeling it was but her mind urged her to take in every bit of scene which was uring infront of her eyes.


    "Looks like I don''t need to do anything. Both of you girls are already ready even before I enter the room", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile.


    Su''er and Ling''er''s face becamepletely red after heard Zhan Chen''sment. "Young master, you arete. So, we are just", Su''er spoke in a stuttering voice.


    "No need to exin. You have make it easier for me", Zhan Chen spoke as he started to remove his clothes. Then he stretched his hands towards Su''er and Ling''er and removed the inner wears from each of their bodies.


    Two beautiful looking curvy bodies appeared Infront of his eyes. He stretched his hands and squeezed both of their beautiful peaks. Their peaks were yet to fully mature as both of them were only seventeen or eighteen this year but the amazing smoothness made Zhan Chen squeeze them more.


    ''Mmmm~''


    ''Nnnng~'', Su''er and Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen yed with their tender peaks with his fingers. Their pink buds were already erect and Zhan Chen pinched them lightly to see their lovely expression.


    "Ahhhh~young master", Ling''er moaned as she enjoyed Zhan Chen''s touch. Su''er'',s breathing became ragged as she did her best to suppress her moan.


    Both of you girls, turn around. Show your backs towards me", Zhan Chen spoke. Su''er and Ling''er were clever. So, they immediately understood what Zhan Chennwas nning to do. They held the corner of their beds and raised their b.u.t.t.s. towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in delight after he saw their beautiful bu.t.t.o.c.k.s. infront of him. He rubbed the opening of thair caves for some moments and then ced his little dragon near Ling''er''s entrance.


    "Ling''er, I am going in", Zhan Chen spoke as he inserted his spear inside Ling''er sacred cave.


    "Ahhhh~", Ling''er moaned loudly as Zhan Chen inserted his spear inside her cave.


    Zhan Chen used his fingers to please Su''er as he started to move his waist.


    ''Ahhhh~''


    ''Ahhhhh~''


    ''Ahhhhn~'', Ling''er started yo moan loudly as Zhan Chen continued to pound his cave. Su''er was also moaning faintly as Zhan Chen kept ying with her little sister.


    There was no sounding from Shen Ruyan as she was watching these scenes with ragged breath. Her mind was inplete disarray as she continued to watch Zhan Chen pounding Su''er.


    Her hand automatically moved towards the cave between her legs as her breathing became more hurried. "I have never thought that I will feel so good only by watching Zhan Chen doing these things. He is way too fierce with both of these girls than me", she thought to herself as she ced her hand on her little sister.. A soul stirring scene yed down in the room as each one of them engaged in primitive desire of mankind.

 Chapter 63 - The Seventh Stage Of Meridian Opening Realm

    "Pah, pah, pah", Zhan Chen continued to ram his body against the body of Ling''er. The flesh on Ling''er''s fleshy b.u.t.t.o.c.k. vibrated as Zhan Chen continued to ram his body against her.


    ''Ahhhh~''


    ''Ahhhhh~''


    ''Ahhhhn~'', Ling''er moaned as her mind became clouded by the sheer amount of pleasure.


    ''Mmmm~'', Su''er was also moaning as Zhan Chen was ying with her little sister with two of his fingers. Her cave was already watery as Zhan Chen continued to explore her cave with his fingers.


    "Ahhhh~Young master, I can''t hold anymore", Ling''er spoke as she spread out her love juices. Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in pleasure as it soak in the pleasant rain from Ling''er''s cave.


    Zhan Chen took out his spear from Ling''er''s cave and ced it on the entrance of Su''er''s cave. He rubbed her entrace for a moment with his long spear. Then he pushed it inside her cave.


    The cave wall of Su''er was already slippery with her water. Zhan Chen pushed a little and his dragon entered deep inside her cave.


    Ahhhh~ young master, Su''er''s eyes moistened a bit by the sudden assault of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her cave wall held tightly to the dragon of Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen started to move.


    "Zhan Chen", Shen Ruyan suddenly called out as her body was already feeling hot. Zhan Chen was observing Shen Ruyan from time to time. So, he knew she was ready for another round.


    "Ruyan, do you want to join?", Zhan Chen smiled towards Shen Ruyan. His body didn''t stop as he pounded Su''er while talking with Shen Ruyan.


    "Ling''er, help Ruyan in taking her clothes", Zhan Chen spoke as he increased his pace slightly.


    "Young master, it is too deep, Ah~", Su''er moaned as Zhan Chen continued to push his dragon inside her cave.


    He ced his hands on her waist and continued to ram his body behind her back. "Su''er, no need to keep supporting your body with your hands. Stretch out your hands and let yor body fall on bed. That way you will be morefortable", Zhan Chen spoke while stabbing his spear inside Su''er''s cave.


    Su''er nodded her head and stretched out her hands and her body fell upon the bed. Her perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k was still facing towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen crouched down and inserted his dragon on Su''er''s cave again. After poundimg for few moments, she released her yin essence.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and pulled Shen Ruyan who was watching from the side. She was already naked. His hand coiled around her slim waist and pulled her closer towards him.


    Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her pretty lips. Then, he turned her body around and made her back face towards him.


    Shen Ruyan bent down on her own as her pretty b.ut.t.o.c.k. faced Zhan Chen. Two white half moons faced Zhan Chen and ZhanChen squeezed them a little. Then he pushed his mighty dragon into her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhh", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen pushed his dragon into her cave. Shen Ruyan''s cave was already watery. So, Zhan Chen didn''t have to give any effort while invading her cave.


    "Look at young miss. She is so beautiful when she is naked", Su''er murmured as both she and Ling''er watched Shen Ruyan.


    "You little girls! Ah~", Shen Ruyan spoke as their muttering could be heard all over the room.


    "Su''er, Ling''er, looks like both of you girls are ready again. Come and bend down near Ruyan then", Zhan Chen spoke as he threw a evil re at both of the girls.


    Su''er and Ling''er''s face reddened but both of them did as he said. He used both of his hands to pleasure both of them while his dragon was still inserted inside the cave of Shen Ruyan.


    ''Ahhhh~''


    ''Mmmmm~''


    ''Nnnnnn~'', three soul stirring moans came out in one time as the temperature in the room soared.


    "Young master, it ising out again", Ling''er was first one to surrender as she released her love juice. Her pretty body twitched as she lied on the bed to stabilize her breathing.


    Su''er followed after her and let out a stream of water from her pink cave.


    "Ah~ Zhan Chen, slow down a little", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen continued to pound her cave from behind.


    ''Ahh~''


    ''Ahhh~''


    ''Ahhh~can''t endure anymore~", Shen Ruyan spoke as a stream of fragrant water slided out from herher region.


    "Ruyan, I am releasing my essence inside", Zhan Chen spoke and spurted out his Yang essence inside her cave. Shen Ruyan felt something warm flooding her womb as Zhan Chen'',s Yang essence filled her cave.


    Zhan Chen took out his spear out of her cave and rubbed it clean on her pretty b.u.t.t.o.c.k. "Ruyan, absorb the Yang essence after we leave. As for you two girls, I will teach you tomorrow. You can absorb my yang essence after you learn the method tomorrow", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, do you want us to have a little baby?", Ling''er asked with a blush. She had heard others talking about how a little thing came to the belly after the husband resed his thing inside his wife''s cave.


    "What? A baby?", Zhan Chen didn''t know whether tough or cry after he heard Ling''er''s question.


    "Ling''er, you are so cute. I am talking about cultivation. You can increase your strength after you take in my essence. As for a baby, I have not thought about it", Zhan Chen replied with a chuckle.


    "Ok, girls. I am off. We will meet tomorrow after I finish up my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke. He gave each one a kiss and then left their room with Shen Ruyan.


    Both of them sat cross-legged after entering Shen Ruyan''s room. Zhan Chen used the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and all the absorbed yin energy entered the Yinyang divine diagram.


    Streams of pure essence energy came out soon after the yin energy entered the Yinyang divine diagram. Zhan Chen directed the essence energy towards his forty eight opened meridians.


    All of his meridians filled up with pure essence energy as Zhan Chen continued to operate the Celestial Yin Yang sutra. Afterpleting a cycle, he pushed the essence energy towards the location of hidden meridians. The pure essence energy was like a knife as it easily pierced the barrier covering the next set of meridians. Another eight meridians opened up as Zhan Chen officially entered into seventh stage of Meridian opening realm. His opened meridians now stood at fifty four which was the maximum number of meridians, one could found in a human body.


    He didn''t opened his eyes immediately. There was still a stream of pure essence energying out of the divine Yinyang diagram.. Zhan Chen continued to operate the Celestial Yin Yang sutra as his cultivation level started to increase.

 Chapter 64 - Different Stages Of Celestial Yin Yang Sutra

    It was already early morning when Zhan Chen woke up from his cultivation. His gaze fell upon Shen Ruyan who waszily curled up on her bed. There was a faint smile stered on her beautiful face.


    Zhan Chen''s mood uplifted after he saw the expression on the face of Shen Ruyan. He walked near her and nted a kiss on her forehead.


    "Ruyan, wake up. You still have to deliver the Essence condensation pill", Zhan Chen shook her body to wake up her.


    "Zhan Chen", Shen Ruyan opened her sleepy eyes and looked around. Herziness disappeared after she realized that it was already morning.


    "Zhan Chen, why don''t you wake me up early?", she threw a ming look at Zhan Chen.


    "Rx, it is only early morning. You still have plenty of time left to visit that weaponsmith", Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the anxious looking Shen Ruyan.


    "Ok, I am going for a bath then. I have to make this deal personally. That way we can bargain for maximum benefit", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    "You can go only after giving me a kiss", Zhan Chen spoke with a serious looking face. Shen Ruyan''s face reddened immediately after she heard Zhan Chen''s word.


    "Greedy", she muttered lightly. Zhan Chen firmly stared at her to make his intention clear. If not for her work, he would have taken her for another round. So, it would be uneptable if she escaped without doing anything.


    Shen Ruyan blushed slightly but still came foward and gave him a light peck on his left cheek. Then she tried to move away. Zhan Chen caught her retreating figure in time. He cupped her beautiful face with both of his hands and nted an agressive kiss on her lips.


    He let go of her mouth only after kissing her for few long minutes. Shen Ruyan was already gasping for breath when they separated their mouth. She blushed slightly as her gaze involuntarily fell upon Zhan Chen''s lower part.


    "Keep it in check until the night", she spoke while fleeing her room. A thought appeared in her mind as she left her room. "How can it be so strong in the morning?", Shen Ruyan blushed as she recalled some pleasant memory of past few days.


    Zhan Chen''s little brother protested furiously but Zhan Chen had no way to satisfy it. He sat down on her bed and started to think about a problem which was bothering him in these past few days.


    Like other cultivation techniques, Celestial yinyang sutra had also its own uniqueness. It was divided ording to one''s mastery over the technique. The most worriedome part was the initial progress could only be achieved through union between Yin and Yang, there was no another shortcut for it.


    The Celestial Yin Yang sutra was divided into nine stages and as of now Zhan Chen was only at the initial level. The maximum stage one could attain with a mortal cultivation was fifth stage. The few stages were,


    Rudimentary stage


    Initial sess stage


    Greater sess stage


    Perfection stage


    Men and heaven stage


    Between Men and heaven stage and its next stage lied a great boundary which could only be broken by shedding the mortal body and attaining that legendary realm. "Forget about it. That legendary realm is a thing many were dreaming for past thousand years but had not attained it despite all their efforts", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "As of now, I am only at Rudimentary stage. To reach the Initial sess stage, I don''t know with how many women I have to cultivate. The troubling part is the Yang essence in my body is affecting my desire. One can only control it by having intercourse with the opposite gender. I can control my desire after I reach the third stage but as of now I have no solution", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The more he dual cultivate, the fiercer his desire was growing as the Yang essence in his body was increasing. The violent nature of yang energy always keeping his little brother upright which Zhan Chen had to control with his sheer will power.


    "I need to look for Su''er and Ling''er. Later I have to think of a way to get other women", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was just going to open the door, when a knocking sound came from the door.


    "Young master, may I enter?", came the sweet voice of Ling''er.


    "Enter", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Young master, a guard of your Zhan family hase to look for you", Ling''er spoke.


    "Ok then, I am going to see him but before that...", Zhan Chen replied and strode towards Ling''er. He lifted up her chin and connected their lips for a kiss.


    His tongue invaded her mouth and entangled with her sweet tasting tongue. His hands didn''t remain idle as used them to grab her perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.


    Ling''er''s face was flushed when Zhan Chen released her mouth.


    "Mmmm~", Ling''er moaned lightly as Zhan Chen kept ying with her fleshy b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.


    "Young master, you should go to see the Zhan family guard. We can do itter after you finish your other work", Ling''er spoke as she tried to separate her body from Zhan Chen''s grab.


    "Auch", Ling''er cried out as Zhan Chen pinched her pretty b.u.t.t.o.c.k before letting her go. An amused smile appeared on the face of Zhan Chen as he left Shen Ruyan''s room with good spirit.


    Zhan Chen descended the stairs and came to the gate of the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    "What is the matter?", Zhan Chen asked after seeing the guard.


    "Young master, fourth young miss is leaving today. She send me to fetch you from the Firecloud treasure pavilion", the guard answered.


    "What is the hurry?", Zhan Chen asked with a frown.


    "The senior sister of her sect hase to fetch her back. Young miss is currently being anxious to see you before leaving", the guard replied. There was a look of respect in his eyes when he looked at Zhan Chen. Strength was resected all over in the cultivation world. So, it was not a surprise that the guard was seeing him with a hint of respect in his eyes.


    "Ok, give me a second. I am going to inform them before leaving", Zhan Chen replied. Ling''er is watching him from a nearby location. Zhan Chen informed her that he was leaving and left with the Zhan family guard.


    Their horses galloped through the road of the city as Zhan Chen and the Zhan family guard approached the entrance of the city. Their horses crossed the city wall and arrived at the outskirt of Redcloud city.


    Zhan family estate was built up on a small hill which was located near the outskirt of Redcloud city. Zhan Chen left behind the horse at the entrance of Zhan family estate as Zhan family rule didn''t allow anyone to bring their domestic animal inside the estate.


    Guards bowed whenever they saw Zhan Chen passing infront him. Zhan Chen nodded at them and went towards the guest hall of Zhan family.


    He saw his sister, eldest aunt and second aunt seated around an unknown beauty. The beauty had an warm expression on her face as she was talking with his eldest aunt and second aunt.


    All of them lifted their heads when they heard the footsteps of Zhan Chen. "Little Chen, you are here", Zhan Qingyue called out happily. A smile appeared on the face of his eldest aunt and second aunt when they saw the approaching figure of Zhan Chen.


    "This is your brother?", the unknown beauty inquired as she scanned Zhan Chen from head to toe.


    "Yes, he is my little brother", Zhan Qingyue replied with a smile.


    "Greetings aunt, greetings big sis, greetings elder sister", Zhan Chen greeted everyone present in one breath. He included the unknown beauty in his greetings.


    "Ah! You are calling me elder sister", the unknown beauty looked at Zhan Chen with a smile. Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile.


    "What a fine looking young man. I may have fancied you if we are of same age", the unknown beauty spoke in a light voice. Zhan Chen chuckled but didn''t say anything.


    "Little Chen. Don''t mind senior sister. She loves to tease everyone", Zhan Qingyue spoke with a smile.


    "Big sis, why are you leaving so early?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Little Chen. Let''s go towards third aunt''s ce. I need to see her before leaving", Zhan Qingyue spoke as she left her seat and pulled Zhan Chen out of the guest hall.


    "This girl! She is known as a fiery girl in our sect and loves to fight anytime it is possible. But here she isughing around and chatting happily with her little brother. I have never seen her smiling so happily in our sect", the unknown beauty spoke with a smile. She sipped in the tea slightly as she looked at the leaving Zhan Qingyue and Zhan Chen.


    "She is attached to little Chen since they were child", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen replied. The second aunt of Zhan Chen also nodded her head but a hard to see expression appeared in her eyes.. Her unusual expression vanished as soon as it appeared.

 Chapter 65 - Parting Gift

    "I hope Qingyue can let go of her obcession. Otherwise, she can''t marry to anyone in her entire life. As for that brat, I wish he can understand my Qingyue one day. But what if he understand? Are not they still brother and sister. I can only hope that my Qingyue let go of her unrequited love", Zhan Chen''s second aunt thought inside her mind. She didn''t know that both had already acknowledged eachother''s feelings and things were not going to stop just because they were cousin


    brother and sister.


    "Little Chen", Zhan Qingyue''s expression changed after they left the guest hall. Her smiling face disappeared as a downcast look appeared on her pretty face.


    "Little Chen, I am nning to spend some days with you but I have to leave. My master has sent my senior sister to fetch me. So, I have to leave no matter what I want", Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "But, we can still meet in the grand sectpetition", Zhan Qingyue added as a hopeful look appeared in her


    Zhan Chen was silent when Zhan Qingyue was talking. He could understand her feeling as both of them shared a special bond since childhood.


    "Big sis, you don''t have to worry. I will definitely go to the grand sectpetition of Northern desert continent", Zhan Chen gave her an assured look.


    "Hmm, I will be waiting for you. You can ask the Firecloud treasure pavilion to send you there", Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "Little Chen, I want to cuddle with you before leaving", Zhan Qingyue murmured in a faint voice.


    Zhan Chen felt his heart melting after he heard her words. "Big sis, let''s go to my room then", Zhan Chen spoke.


    There were two maids present in Zhan Chen''s livingplex. Little Tao was talking with them when Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue entered.


    "Young master, young miss", the maids immediately bowed after noticing the arrival of Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue. Little Tao was exempted from bowing so she only addressed them as young master and young miss.


    "Little Tao, I am leaving today", Zhan Qingyue spoke to little Tao. "Be safe, young miss", liittle Tao replied.


    "Ok, little Tao. You are not allowed to enter inside the room. We are discussing an important matter inside", Zhan Chen spoke and entered his room with Zhan Qingyue.


    He immediately grabbed the slender waist of Zhan Qingyue after entering his room. "Little Chen, cllose the door first", Zhan Qingyue whispered in a flushed face.


    "Big sis, we don''t have to lock the door. It will feel more suspicious. No one dare disturb us here if we don''t close the door. Moreover, we are only cuddling....", Zhan Chen''s mouth was sealed before he couldplete his sentence.


    Zhan Qingyue tried to be bold as she nted a deep kiss on Zhan Chen''s lips. She tried to move her head after a minute but Zhan Chen didn''t let her go. He inserted his tongue inside her mouth and started to fiercely entangle with her slippery tongue.


    They licked eachother''s tongue as an indescribable emotion welled up in both of their hearts.


    Zhan Chen started to move his hand around his back as he wanted to explore the smoothness of her skin. Zhan Qingyue took a step back after they parted their lips.


    "Little Chen, stop", Zhan Qingyue spoke in a flushed voice. Both of her pretty cheeks were already red giving her a charming appearance.


    "Big sis?", Zhan Chen looked at Zhan Qingyue with a confused look on his face.


    "Little Chen, we can''t do that today. I am already prepared to leave. So, you can''t mess with my clothes", Zhan Qingyue spoke with a reddened face.


    "Ok then", Zhan Chen tried to control the fire of emotion rising within his body.


    "But we can still cuddle", Zhan Qingyue spoke as she embraced Zhan Chen and nestled her head on Zhan Chen''s chest.


    A minute passed silently without talking with eachother. "Little Chen, you are so bad. How can you think of those bad stuffs when we are only embracing eachother", Zhan Qingyue spoke in a flustered voice.


    "Big sis, it is always like this. I am not thinking about anything", Zhan Chen spoke helplessly. His little brother was always in frenzy in these days. So, he didn''t have any control on how it reacted.


    "Little Chen, you can''t do anything to me but how about I make you feel good likesttime?", Zhan Qingyue spoke with a blush.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as his little dragon twitched in anticipation. He didn''t have to to worry about someone suddenlying as his soul consciousness has already covered the nearby area. That way, no one can enter his livingplex without alerting him.


    "Take it out", Zhan Qingyue pointed at his little dragon.


    Zhan Chen lowered his pant and revealed his mighty dragon to Zhan Qingyue. Zhan Qingyue"s beautiful cheeks reddened further after seeing the appearance of little brother of Zhan Chen. But she still came forward and wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    She started to stroke it gently after wrapping her hand around. "Little Chen, will you miss me after I leave?", Zhan Qingyue looked at Zhan Chen while stroking his little dragon.


    "I will", Zhan Chen replied while looking at her. Both of their eyes met and Zhan Qingyue could see the emotion of Zhan Chen for her.


    "Little Chen, I don''t want to leave you", Zhan Qingyue spoke as her eyes misted up slightly. Zhan Chen wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her once again into his embrace.


    Both of their lips met and Zhan Chen explored all the corners of her mouth with his tongue. Her mouth was fragrant and Zhan Chen tried to taste every inch of her mouth with his tongue. Their mouths separated only after they shared a long passionate kiss. Zhan Qingyue''s palm was still on Zhan Chen''s long rod. She started to Stoke it more intently after their lips separated.


    "Little Chen, let me use my mouth on it. You will feel much better in that way", Zhan Qingyue spoke. She didn''t wait for Zhan Chen''s response and knelt down infront of him.


    She took out her pink tongue and licked the tip of Zhan Chen''s spear. "It has a sweet taste", she spoke after licking the tip of his dragon for a moment.


    Zhan Chen''s breath became erratic after he felt the smooth touch of her tongue on his little dragon.


    "Big sis, take it in", he spoke as his breath became more hurried. Zhan Qingyue nodded her head and took in his dragon inside her mouth. Her tongue wrapped around his spear as Zhan Chen felt a burst of pleasureing to his mind.


    "Slurp! Slurp", Zhan Qingyue started to move her head as Zhan Chen''s little dragon trembled in delight. Zhan Chen stretched his hand and pushed her head more closer towards his dragon.


    He started to move his waist as his dragon started to experience a rhythmic motion. His dragon became drenched by her fragrant saliva and its veins started to throb.


    "Big sis, your mouth is amazing", Zhan Chen spoke as he pushed his dragon more intently.


    "Cough, cough", Zhan Qingyue coughed lightly as she rsed his dragon to take a breather. Then she once again pulled his dragon inside her mouth.


    "Slurp, slurp", her slippery tongue moved around as she started to move her head. Zhan Chen felt an intense amount of pleasure as he enjoyed the care of his big sis.


    Zhan Qingyue stretched her hand and grabbed the base of his spear while moving her mouth. Her hand started to knead his spear as his mouth continued to please his dragon.


    "Big sis, you are amazing", Zhan Chenmented as a wave of pleasure coarsed through his body.


    Zhan Qingyue continued to move her mouth as her hand was kneading the base of his dragon. "Big sis, I am releasing my yang essence", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Qingyue didn''t reply as she increased the intensity of her mouth. "Slurp, slurp", her mouth moved back and forth.


    Zhan Stretched his hand and ced it in back of her head. Then he pushed her head lightly as his dragon traveled more deeper into her mouth. His dragon trembled and spurted out arge amount of his Yang essence.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from her mouth as a small line of his yang liquid came out from her mouth. The bulging part on the throat of Zhan Qingyue moved down as she swallowed in all the Yang essence of Zhan Chen.


    She stretched out her pink tongue and cleared away the yang essence which had poured out from her mouth.


    "Little Chen, how are you feeling?", Zhan Qingyue asked after standing up.


    "Big sis, you are amazing. I have never thought that you will be so good with your tongue", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile.


    "Then consider it as a parting gift from me. I will wait for you in the grand sectpetition", Zhan Qingyue spoke as her mood improved slightly from earlier.


    "I will return big sis''s gift after we meet", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.

 Chapter 66 - Setting Up A Formation For Zhan Family

    Zhan Qingyue''s senior sister released a signal to the sky and a big snow white bird appeared on the top of Zhan family''s estate.


    "Little Chen, it is senior snow. She was the beastpanion of my master", Zhan Qingyue exined the origin of big snow white bird to Zhan Chen.


    It flew downward and soonnded in the middle of Zhan family''s estate.


    "What a pretty bird", Zhan Chen''s third auntmented as she curiously observed the pretty looking creature infront of her. Zhan Chen''s other aunts and mother were also same as they looked at the beautiful snow white bird.


    "A grade four snow eagle", Zhan Chen immediately saw through the cultivation level of the magical beast infront of him.


    Magical beasts were different frommon wild beasts. They could cultivate like humans and their intelligence developed along with increase in their cultivation realm. The snow eagle infront of him was a grade four magical beast which wasparable to a core condensation realm expert of humans.


    The eyes of the snow white bird moved around as it observed everyone in a human like manner . A hint of affection appeared on it''s eyes when it''s gaze fell upon Zhan Qingyue.


    "Greetings senior snow", Zhan Qingyue bowed her head towards the snow eagle.


    "Qingyue, let''s get going. We shouldn''t let senior snow wait for us", the senior sister of Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "Little Chen, I am going then", Zhan Qingyue spoke. She greeted everyone present and climbed on the back of snow eagle. The snow eagle sprang its wings and flew towards the distant sky.


    "Big sis, have a safe journey", Zhan Chen shouted as he looked at the flying eagle in the sky.


    "Chen-er, are you really going to the Grand sectpetition?", Li Qingzhao asked Zhan Chen after Zhan Qingyue left. His other aunts also looked at him as they were also curious about this matter.


    "Yes mother, I am nning to participate in the Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Then, have you decided which sect you are going to join? With your talent you can easily be a outer sect disciple of any major sects", Li Qingzhao asked.


    "I will decide after participating in the grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    "What about joining the pill valley? Is not your teach an alchemist?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked.


    "Aunt, I am not going to join the pill valley. As for my teacher, he has no opinion about whatever sect I am joining. And thest thing I want to inform everyone is that my teacher is an alchemist but his main path is dual cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile.


    He didn''t want to keep everyone in dark about this matter. So, he picked this time to reveal the truth.


    "Dual cultivation", the cheeks of Zhan Chen''s aunts reddened immediately.


    "Little Chen, have you choosen a cultivation partner for you", Zhan Chen''s third aunt asked. Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile.


    "Who is she? Can you let us see her?", Zhan Chen''s third aunt asked. Zhan Chen blushed slightly by this sudden question. He felt shy to tell them that he already had multiple partners for dual cultivation.


    "Ok, leave that matter to little Chen. He is probably feeling shy to talk about it", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen smiled. Zhan Chen threw a grateful nce at his eldest aunt for rescuing from this. The other aunts of Zhan Chen also smiled after noticing theical expression on the face of Zhan Chen.


    "Little Chen, dual cultivation is not itself bad but you should never do anything evil in the name of dual cultivation", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen said in a stern voice.


    "That will never happen. I will never do anything against my conscience. I am doing dual cultivation because I do not see anything wrong with it. As long as a girl is willing, there is no problem in being with her", Zhan Chen replied.


    "When are you leaving then?", the second aunt of Zhan Chen who had yet to speak anything asked.


    "I willl leave soon but before that there are some matters I need to settle", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Eldest aunt, can I arrange a formation around our Zhan family estate?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "A formation?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen became surprised after hearing the question of Zhan Chen.


    "You can even set a formation?", the second aunt of Zhan Chen looked at Zhan Chen as if she was seeing a ghost.


    Zhan Chen felt a headache after seeing the expression on the faces of his aunts. Even his mother was no exception. He had no idea about how much a formation master was revered in the Northern desert continent.


    "Second aunt, I can arrange some simple formations", Zhan Chen replied while looking at his second aunt.


    "Ok then, you just need to name the things you require. It will be okay as long as you can arrange a spirit grade formation", Zhan Chen''s aunt said with an assuring tone.


    "When are you going to arrange the formation?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked.


    "I am going to see our estate''s position first. If everything is okay, then I will arrange the formation in afternoon", Zhan Chen replied.


    --------------


    ''Dragon snake''s core''


    ''Thunder wood tree branch''


    ''Spiritual green sand''


    ''Horn of Fire spitting ox''


    ''Abyss jade''


    Zhan Chen checked the material which were just delivered form the Firecloud treasure pavilion. "Unfortunately, the materials were were only of grade four. Otherwise, I could have arranged an earth grade formation for our Zhan family", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Ok, it is time to arrange the formation", Zhan Chen murmured and came out of his room.


    "Young master, are you going to arrange the formation?", Little Tao asked curiously. Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply.


    "Can Ie along?", Little Tao asked.


    "Ask some guards to bring over the boxes and follow after me", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    A smile appeared on the cute face of Little Tao after she heard Zhan Chen''s reply. "Young master, wait for me them. I am bringing over some soldier uncles", Little Tao spoke and ran outside of Zhan Chen''s livingplex.


    A small smile appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after he saw the excited expression on the face of Little Tao.


    "She will be sad, if she knows that I am going to leave soon. I need to arrange a cultivation method for her before leaving", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Two burly looking guards hurried over after little Tao approached them.


    "Young master, where are the boxes?", they asked after bowing.


    "Little Tao, lead them to my room. The boxes are kept inside", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What is this thing? Why can''t I lift it?", a burly looking guardined.


    "Allow me to do it", the other burly looking guard spoke. Hispanion nodded and left the box for hispanion to try.


    "Hah", the veins on the forehead of the guard bulged as he gave every bit of his strength to his hands. Despite his utmost effort, the box didn''t move an inch.


    "Oh I forget about this thing. There is an abyssal jade inside that box. Let me handle it", Zhan Chen''s voice came from outside after he noticed what was going on inside his room.


    Each type of spirit material represented one of the five heavenly elements. Dragon snake''s core'' represented water element, Thunder wood tree branch represented thunder element, Spirit green sand represented wind element and the Horn of fire spitting ox represented Fire element. Thest one, the Abyss jade came from deep underground and it contained the purest earth element.


    Earth was heavy in nature. So, it was no surprise that two peak stage Meridian opening realm soldiers failed to lift up the box containing Abyss Jade.


    Zhan Chen went over and ced both of hands on the box. He exerted his strength but the simr thing happened to him also. He couldn''t lift up the box with his physical strength.


    With a thought of his mind, his spiritual power came out and Zhan Chen effortlessly lifted up the box. The eyes of the two Zhan family guards widened after seeing Zhan Chen lifting up that immovable box.


    "Lift up the other boxes and follow behind me and little Tao", Zhan Chen smiled at them. They nodded their heads and followed after Zhan Chen and little Tao.


    Zhan Chen moved to the eastern direction first. "Dig up a two man deep hole", Zhan Chen spoke to the guards. The Zhan family guards nodded their head and started to dig up.


    Zhan Chen sat crosslegged and took out a strange looking pointed pen from his pocket. It was an inscription pen which Zhan had taken out from Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    Powerful formation masters didn''t need an inscription pen as they directly use their spiritual power while setting up a formation. Zhan Chen could also do this but it would feel overly suscipicious. So, he used an inscription pen to give out an appearance of an beginner level inscription master.


    Strange symbols started to appear on the Dragon snake''s core as Zhan Chen started to draw on it.. His hand speed was fluent and soon the Dragon snake''s core became covered with the strange looking symbols.

 Chapter 67 - Five Element Profound Tribulation Formation

    Zhan Chen didn''t stop after inscribing on the dragon snake core. He took out the Thunderwoood branch and started to inscribe divine symbols on the top of it. His hand moved nonstop as different type of mysterious symbols appeared on the top of Thunderwoood branch.


    "Wow, how pretty", little Tao murmured as she looked at the dazzling symbols on top of the dragon snake core.


    ''Tap, tap, tap'', a series of rapidly approaching footsteps came and little Tao turned her gaze to look at the approaching individuals.


    "Big sis, we are notte, right?", the third aunt of Zhan Chen asked. She had an impatient look on her eyes as she was rapidly approaching the ce where Zhan Chen was inscribing.


    "Third sis, why are you so anxious? Little Chen has just started. Arranging formation is a time consuming task", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen shook her head helplessly.


    "We will see if that brat is really capable", the second aunt of Zhan Chen spoke. Zhan Chen''s mother was silent as she followed after everyone. Like everyone, she also had a curious look in her eyes.


    "What is this energy fluctuation? Big sis, can you feel it?", the second aunt if Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, I can feel it. We should hurry and see what little Chen is doing", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen spoke.


    The third of Zhan Chen was the first to arrive where Zhan Chen was inscribing. He was already done with the Thunder wood tree branch. Currently, he was working on Spiritual green sand.


    Unlike the dragon snake core or the Thunder wood tree brach, the Spiritual green sand were only sand particles. Zhan Chen didn''t take out those particles out of the box. Instead, he inscribed symbols on top of its container which was made up of a special kind of material.


    "Big sis, what is that pen?", the third aunt of Zhan Chen looked towards the eldest madam of Zhan family.


    "That is an inscription pen and most be a high quality one at that. Firecloud treasure pavilion is really generous towards him", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No, the most valuable things are those formation materials around him. The dragon snake core and the Thunderwoood tree branch can be considered as rare fourth grade materials", the second aunt of Zhan Chen eximed in surprise.


    Considering the financial condition of Zhan family, they couldn''t take out such valuable materials. So, the second aunt of Zhan Chen felt shocked when she saw the materials.


    "What is he inscribing?", the third aunt of Zhan Chen asked. Her eyes were glued to the hands of Zhan Chen which were moving in a lightning quick speed.


    "Those are called as divine symbols. A formation master most know how to inscribe them using their spiritual energy", the first aunt of Zhan Chen described. A surrised look appeared in her eyes when she observed the Dragon snake core and the Thunder wood branch.


    It did not take her long to find out the source of heavenly energy fluctuation. It was the spiritual materials upon which Zhan Chen had already inscribed divine symbols. Her eyes widened as she observed the spiritual materials more closely.


    When she looked towards Zhan Chen''s second aunt, she was also looking at her. Clear shock written all over her pretty looking face. Both of their gazes met and both could see the amazement in eachother''s eyes.


    After finishing the spiritual green sand, Zhan Chen moved to the horn of me spitting ox. Sweat drops were already pouring out from his tired looking face.


    Inscribing divine symbols on the grade four spiritual materials were a heavy burden to his spiritual energy. But he still keep pushing himself as he knew the advantage of using spiritual energy for creating formation.


    Spiritual energy and soul energy were two different kinds of energy altogether. Spiritual energy was a kind of mental strength which had nothing to do with the soul energy. With his current cultivation, if he had to use soul strength beyond true essence realm, his body would be damaged as his body couldn''t tolerate the input of soul strength.


    But it was not the case for his spiritual energy. Spiritual energy or the mental energy was directly rted to a person''s invisible connection with the heavenly energy. If a child was born with greater spiritual energy, then he could be considered as a genius in his surrounding area as he could feel the heavenly principles with his spiritual perception. What could be considered difficult for others would be too easy for him to do it.


    In this life, Zhan Chen was no better than others considering the spiritual strength. But with the perception of his soul and his understanding towards heaven, he had managed to increase his spiritual energy in these few days.


    Although arranging a formation was draining but it could also increase one''s connection with the ethereal principles of heaven. In this way, one could increase his spiritual energy after inscribing divine symbols. It was another kind of cultivation which would increase one''s spiritual energy.


    The second aunt of Zhan Chen gasped in surprise when Zhan Chen took out the Abyssal jade. Compared to her, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen didn''t feel any surprise as she couldn''t recognise the identity of the Abyssal jade.


    "Big sis, that is an abyssal jade. It''s value could bepared to some fifth grade materials", the second aunt of Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Chen''s mother also felt surprised after she heard her second sister''s words. She knitted her pretty eyebrows as she looked at Zhan Chen. "What is Chen-er doing? No matter how wealthy she is, we shouldn''t take advantage of her in that way?", she thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen wiped off his forehead after storing the inscription pen inside his pocket. "Finally, it isplete", he murmured to himself.


    "Eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, mother", Zhan Chen called out after storing the inscription pen inside his pocket. A smile appeared on his face after seeing the look on the faces of his aunts and mother.


    His gaze fell upon little Tao and he felt speechless after seeing her appearance. She was literally drooling while looking at the beautiful looking abyssal jade. Her big eyes were glued to the glowing surface of the Abyssal jade.


    "Little Tao, stop staring at it. I will bring you to the Firecloud treasure pavilionter. You can pick up some things at that time", he spoke after seeing the expression on her face.


    "Little Chen, what formation you are nning to arrange?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked aftering out of her entranced appearance. The deeds of Zhan Chen was so heaven defying that even she forgot how to talk to him for a moment.


    Eldest aunt, I am going to arrange a Five element profound tribtion formation for our Zhan family estate. When it is used, it can deter even the experts above the Core condensation realm", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Ok, now I am going to ce the Dragon snake core here", Zhan Chen spoke. He threw the dragon snake core towards one of the guards.


    "Put it at the deepest part of the hole. Then fill up the hole again", Zhan Chenmanded. The guards did as he instructed and filled u the hole with muds and stones.


    "Ok,e with me. We are going to dig up four more such holes", Zhan Chen looked at the two guards. He personally guided them to the north, west and south direction and pointed at the most suitable ce for cing the spiritual materials.


    After putting up the Thunder wood tree branch binnthe northern direction, he ced the spiritual green sand in west direction. Then he turned to south and ced the horn of Fire spitting ox there.


    Thest ce he chose was the central part of the Zhan family estate. The two guards dug up a hole where he pointed and Zhan Chen ced the Abyss jade there.


    "Young master, is itpleted?", the two guards inquired after he ced thest piece of spiritual material.


    "No, the most crucial part is not over yet. We have only ced the spiritual materials in right ces but it is only part of the entire process. The most crucial part was to make a connection between those materials", Zhan Chen replied with a smile. The guards scratched their heads as Zhan Chen''s words feel like some profound things to him.


    "Then young master, what should we do now?", the two guards asked.


    "No need to fret over it. Your work is already finished. You have done well. Now, leave everything to me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The guards nodded their heads and waited for Zhan Chen''s next action. Zhan Chen sat crosslegged on the spot where the Abyss jade was buried. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind.


    He operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and started to cultivate in that spot. His body started to recover after Zhan Chen operated the celestial Yin Yang sutra.


    He opened his eyes after cultivating for an hour. His body and mind felt refreshed after he cultivated for a period of time. His spiritual strength had also recovered and it had increased slightly than his earlier level.


    He spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding and the entire Zhan family estate appeared inside his mind. He had already learned where the mysterious senior of that night was staying. He spread his soul consciousness around him without disturbing his cultivation.


    (To be continued in next chapter......)

 Chapter 68 - Zhan Lin, The Zhan Family Ancestor

    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding and the entire Zhan family estate appeared inside his mind. His spiritual energy fluctuated as he tried to make a mental connection with the etherealws of heaven.


    What he was trying to do was beyond theprehension of a formation grandmaster. His spiritual energy yet to reach the level of a formation grandmaster but he was using his previous life understanding to make a connection with the unpredictablews of heaven.


    He sat there motionlessly for some time. His heart was very calm and his mind was in a nk state. Gradually he cleared his mind from everything as he tried to forge a connection with the heaven.


    ---------------


    "Big sis, what is he doing? If he is cultivating, then why there is not any essence energy fluctuation around him?", the third aunt of Zhan Chen looked at the eldest madam of Zhan family.


    "Third sis, he is cultivating but he is not cultivating essence energy, as you think. Every formation masters focuses on increasing their spiritual energy. He is also doing the same, I think", Zhan Chen''s second aunt spoke before Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt could say anything.


    "My Chen-er has finally shown his talent. No one can tell him useless anymore", Li Qingzhao thought as her eyes teared up slightly. Her lips curled up as she felt a burst of happiness washing over her.


    Which mother does not feel happiness over hear child''s sess? Li Qingzhao was no exception to such a thing. She kept looking at Zhan Chen who was still sitting there without knowing what was happening in his surrounding.


    "How rare! Fourth sis, are you smiling?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen teasedLi Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao blushed slightly bu she didn''t say anything in reply. Her gaze was still focused on the location where Zhan Chen was sitting crosslegged.


    Little Tao was also there. She was talking with the two guards to relieve her boredom. Time started to gradually pass as Zhan Chen sat at that ce motionlessly.


    Suddenly, a sensation came to Zhan Chen''s mind as his body shook slightly. He adjusted his state instantly and poured all of his focus on feeling that wonderful sensation.


    It was a strange yet familiar sensation. Multicolored waves filled up his entire surrounding.


    Zhan Chen spread his spiritual energy slowly and the multicolour waves gathered together. Some of them merged into one and some of them remained as one. When his spiritual energy passed through them, there apperance changed as they turned into different kinds objects around his surrounding.


    Every object was made of heaven and earth. One could easily understand this statement with his spiritual strength. The multicoloured waves represented different kinds of elementalws as together they formed the different kinds of objects of heaven and earth.


    Grass was made up of wood energy,.gravels had the yellow coloured eath energy around them. Sky has different kinds of energy altogether but the most noticeable one among them was the blue coloured water element and the green coloured wind element.


    The world around Zhan Chen reverted back to its own self after Zhan Chen''s spiritual energy passed through them but something was different in Zhan Chen''s perception. World felt more colourful to him as everything felt more colourful than earlier.


    It was not that there was any change in heaven and earth, it was the change in his perception. It was his own perception what was changed after he managed to see the mental picture of heaven and earth energy. He had developed spiritual perception which was necessary to be a formation grandmaster.


    With a thought of his mind, a vast amount of spiritual energy poured into his mind. His previous minisque quantity of spiritual energy increased as he greedily absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.


    The energy of heaven and earth started to retreat after Zhan Chen absorbed spiritual energy for some minutes. Zhan Chen also didn''t stop it as he was quite satisfied with the amount of energy he had already absorbed. But suddenly a violent pull came out from the inside of his body. To be precise, it was the mysterious diagram in his soul which had exerted the pulling force.


    The heaven and earth trembled as the retreating spiritual energy gathered again. It poured into Zhan Chen''s mind in a steady pace.


    Spiritual energy was generally traceless but the heaven and earth was not. The spiritual energy was an unique kind of energy which was gathered from all kinds of heaven and earth elements. Thunder rumbled as the pulling force grew violent.


    "What is going on?",.Zhan Chen felt surprised by the sudden change inside his body. But before he could feel more worried, the violent pulling force stopped.


    The rumbling heaven and earth also came to a stop. The gathered spiritual energy scattered as they went back to their source. The heaven and earth became normal within few seconds.


    "What was that?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen murmured in surprise. The earlier change caught all of them offguard. But before she could look at her other sisters, a terrifyingly powerful soul sense came towards them.


    Everyone shuddered when that terrifyingly powerful sense passed through them. The powerful soul sense scanned through everyone present and finally stopped on the body of Zhan Chen.


    "How strange! The earlier turmoil of heaven and earth seems to be done by this kid but how is it possible?" a murmuring sound came from the sky.


    An instantter, a figure appeared in the sight of everyone. His figure was floating in the sky as he was curiousity looking at Zhan Chen.


    He had a messy looking appearance but he had a pair of sharp looking eyes.


    An ancient looking robe was covering his body. Zhan Chen also felt his presence but his current state didn''t allow him to divert his attention. Moreover, he knew the person in the sky had no malicious intention towards him. From his earlier words, he seemed to be rted to his Zhan family.


    "Little kid, no need to feel worry. This is a good opportunity for you. Try to condense your spiritual energy using this opportunity", the figure in the sky spoke.


    His gaze then turned towards the people present in the surrounding. "Little girls, no need to look at me with that gaze. I will never harm anyone of my Zhan family", the figure in the sky spoke.


    "Greetings senior. Thank you for your assistance that day", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen was the first to find her bearing.


    "Little girl, why are you thanking me? I have never done anything for which my Zhan n can thank me", the figure in the sky replied. His gaze softened a bit when he saw a hesitant look on the face of Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt.


    "Little girl, you want to say anything?", the figure in the sky asked. Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt nodded her head.


    "Ask then. What do you want to know?", the figure in the sky said in an amiable voice.


    "Senior, are you someone from my Zhan family?", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked. The ears of everyone perked up as they waited for the answer.


    "I am initially nning to hide my existence but it is already impossible. Since, this is the case, then there is no point in hiding my existence anymore", the figure in the sky muttered.


    "I am Zhan Lin, a nobody of Zhan n. As for the current Zhan family, they are descendants of my Zhan n", the figure in the sky spoke.


    "Then, ancestor. Please forgive us for our disrespect. Please ept this kowtow from your juniors", Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt spoke and knelt down. Zhan Chen''s other aunts and his mother also knelt down and kowtow to the ancestor who was floating in the sky.


    "There is no need to kneel for someone like me. You are still kneeling before the ancestoral hall, that is enough for me", Zhan Lin spoke as his stoic face became emotional for a minute.


    He waved his hand slightly and Zhan Chen''s aunts and mother''s came out of their kneeling posture again. There was surprise and respect in their eyes as they looked towards the expert infront of them.


    "Zhan family guards, no need to stay here anymore. Remember to maintain secrecy about today''s matter. I am not talking about myself. You just need to forget about the deeds of this little kid. Later, I will help all of you to raise your strengths", Zhan Lin spoke.


    "Yes, ancestor", the guards present knelt down and spoke. Their eyes were full of respect when they were looking at Zhan Lin.


    "Little girl, why are you trembling? I am not some wild animal", Zhan Lin looked at little Tao and shook his head.


    "Little girls, introduce yourshelves.. I need to know about the current circumstances of my Zhan n", Zhan Lin spoke and looked towards Zhan Chen''s aunts and mother.

 Chapter 69 - Activating The Formation

    "Such irresponsibility!


    Leaving behind a group of women to fend for themselves, truly morons", Zhan Lin murmured with an annoyed voice.


    "Then, who is handling the family now?", Zhan Lin looked towards the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen.


    Ancestor, it is big sister. She is handling the family since all of them left for the war", Zhan Chen''s second aunt spoke.


    "Good girl, it has been hard on you", Zhan Lin''s gaze softened as he looked towards Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt.


    "Looks like I have to make a trip personally. I can teach them a lesson after bringing them back", Zhan Lin spoke while caressing his own long beard.


    A difficult to hide excitement appeared in the eyes of Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt after she heard Zhan Lin''s words. It was same for Zhan Chen''s second aunt and his mother as they got excited after listening the words of Zhan Lin.


    Zhan Lin chuckled a bit after seeing the expression of everyone. His gaze shifted to Zhan Chen who was still sitting there in a crosslegged position.


    Beads of sweat could be seen on Zhan Chen''s head as he was trying his best to control the sudden influx of spiritual energy. The divine diagram on his soul was glowing faintly as it was helping him stabilizing the condition inside his body.


    The sudden action of the strange diagram caught him offguarded but his displeasure turned to excitement when he saw the ability of the divine diagram. The divine diagram had a suppressing effect on the spiritual energy as it was helping him in keeping control over the vast amount of spiritual energy.


    Zhan Chen tried to integrate the vast amount of spiritual energy with his own spiritual energy. His own spiritual energy churned inside his mind as it started to whittle away the vast amount of spiritual energy.


    Zhan Chen''s spiritual energy grew stronger gradually as he kept manipting his spiritual energy. At certain point of time, spiritual energy turned into an illusory water drop.


    Zhan Chen''s lips curled up a bit after he was sessful in creating the first drop of illusory water bit he didn''t lose his focus. He constantly manipted his spiritual energy and suppressed it with the help of the mysterious diagram on his soul.


    The vast amount of spiritual energy gradually reduced as it turned into a few water drops. The process was slow but Zhan Chen maintained his calm and kept manipting his spiritual energy.


    What Zhan Chen was aiming for was to create his own spiritual river. Spiritual river was necessary for a formation grandmaster if hewanted to go beyond and reach the legendary Formation king realm. Forming the droplets of spiritual energy was a major step towards that direction.


    Time seemed to fly past and it was already evening when Zhan Chen managed to integrate all the spiritual energy into his own. He took a look at his mental space and nodded in satisfaction.


    His spiritual energy was no longer scattered like before. It had already condensed into water droplets and created a puddle of spiritual droplets.


    The small puddle couldn''t be considered as a spiritual river but Zhan Chen managed to take the major step in the path of spiritual cultivation. Now, he only need to absorb more spiritual energy and more water droplets would be added to the puddle.


    He opened up his eyes and took a look at his surrounding. "Kid, you are finally done. To be able to create such a choas, you are indeed quite capable", Zhan Lin spoke when he noticed Zhan Chen opening his eyes.


    Zhan Chen stood up and bowed towards Zhan Lin. Unlike others, he was not at all surprised by the arrival of this mysterious expert.


    "Chen-er, kowtow to him. He is one of our Zhan family ancestors", Li Qingzhao spoke when he saw Zhan Chen bowing towards Zhan Lin.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as he was not at all hesitant to give his respect to one of his ancestors. He knelt down and was just going to kowtow when an illusory force approached him and made him stand up again.


    "Bowing is enough. There is s no need of a kowtow", Zhan Lin spoke as he looked curiously at Zhan Chen.


    "Kiddo, what kind of formation you are nning to arrange?", Zhan Lin looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I am nning to arrange a Five element profound tribtion formation", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Oh, interesting. Arrange it then. It has been years since I see a formation grandmaster working. Moreover, such a young formation grandmaster at that", Zhan Lin chuckled and encouraged Zhan Chen.


    "A formation grandmaster!", the mouth of Zhan Chen''s second aunt opened up as she looked towards Zhan Chen''s direction. She forgot to close her mouth even after seconds. The same was the reaction of Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt and third aunt as they looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in their eyes. Li Qingzhao also became stunned as she couldn''t believe her own ears.


    "Little girls, no need to feel surprise. The most surprising thing will be if he be a formation king before reaching twenty five year of age", Zhan Lin spoke.


    "Senior, praises me too much", Zhan Chen chuckled. He felt impressed by the insight of his ancestor.


    "Eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, mother, thank you for waiting up for me. I am arranging the Five element profound tribtion formation now", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Chen didn''t sat up this time. He only closed his eyes and spread his spiritual energy towards the surrounding. He didn''t dare use his soul consciousness now as he didn''t wanted to be found out by his powerful ancestor.


    All of his surrounding appeared inside his mind as his spiritual energy reached the every nook and corner of Zhan family estate. His spiritual energy approached the spiritual materials he had buried in all corner.


    The Abyss jade was the first to react as it was the closest to him in distance. The branch of Thunderwoood tree, horn of Fire spitting ox, core of Dragon snake and Spiritual green sand followed after the Abyss jade and stated to show reaction.


    The divine symbols on top of them lit up as an elemental fluctuation came out from the ces where they were buried.


    "Connect", with a thought of his mind, spiritual energy stirred and spread towards other materials. Zhan Chen controlled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turned them into straight lines and connected the five materials.


    "Shhh! Howl!", elemental fluctuation increased as the formation was activated. Thunder cackled and wind blew. A intense heat came out from the surrounding where the horn of Fire spitting ox was buried. A wet feeling came from the ce where the core of the Dragon snake was buried. A suffocating feeling came from the ce where Zhan Chen was currently standing. It was the Abyssal jade which was releasing a intense amount of gravity.


    Even Zhan Chen''s aunts aunts were also feeling the pressure because they were standing nearby. The pressure of gravity vanished as Zhan Lin waved his sleeve.


    "A marvelous formation", Zhan Lin nodded his head as he observed the formation.


    "Chen-er really managed to do it", Li Qingzhao muttered as she was looking at the surrounding.


    "This brat, when did he be so capable?", Zhan Chen''s second aunt muttered as she observed the changes in the surrounding.


    "Fourth sister, congrattion. Little Chen is already a formation Grandmaster. You no longer need to worry about him", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Qingzhao.


    Li Qingzhao''s eyes misted up slightly as she nodded her head.


    "I know little Chen is never useless. I know he is capable but never thought that he can create such a thing", Zhan Chen''s third auntmented as she observed her surrounding.


    "Finally, it is done", Zhan Chen smiled. "I just need to arrange a spirit gathering array and the formation can work even if I am not around", he thought to himself.


    "Little Chen, is it done?", Zhan Chen''s third aunt asked. Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile.


    "There are some minor things remain but it can be settled easily", Zhan Chen spoke. With a thought of his mind, the divine symbols stopped glowing and the elemental fluctuation stopped. The Zhan family estate turned normal once again.


    "Well done, kiddo. I am going to pick up your father and uncles. Wait untill then", Zhan Lin spoke with a smile.


    His figure shed as he disappeared from everyone''s mind. "What, father and uncles areing back?", Zhan Chen felt surprised for a moment.


    "I am wracking my brain to help them out but it seems like my help is unnecessary. With the power of ancestor, their issues can be resolved quickly", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He turned his eyes towards his mother and aunts. "Mother, why are you looking at me like this?", Zhan Chen asked with confusion. The gaze of his aunts were also not normal either as they were looking at him with strange looking eyes.


    "Chen-er, have you really be a formation grandmaster?", Li Qingzhao asked.


    "Oh, formation grandmaster. Yes, I can be considered as one", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "My Chen-er has grown up. Your father will be happy if he hears this news", Li Qingzhao spoke as her eyes welled up with tear drops.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know what to do after seeing his mother acting like a cry baby.


    "Mother, you are waiting me for such a long time. You must be tired. The same goes for eldest aunt, second aunt and third aunt. Let''s go and do a family dinner together", Zhan Chen spoke as he stretched his hand to wipe off the eyes of his mother.


    Li Qingzhao nodded her head and wiped off her eyes. She took a look at little Tao who was staring at Zhan Chen with starry eyes.


    Zhan Chen also felt the gaze of little Tao as a smile appeared on his face. "Little girl, stop looking at me", he flicked the forehead of Little Tao.


    "Young master, you are amazing", Little Tao spoke while massaging her forehead.


    "Let''s go. There are a lot of things to arrange", Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt spoke.. Everyone followed after her and left the location of the formation.

 Chapter 70 - The Return Of Generals

    Groups of soldiers were moving around as they were keeping watch over arge number of tents. Night was approaching fast and the alertness of the soldiers were growing with time.


    There was a huge tent pitched in the middle. A signia of three leaves could be seen at the top of it. The passing soldiers were looking at it with reverent eyes.


    There were three men who were currently sitting inside the huge tent. The man in the middle had a frown on his face as he was reading a military report.


    He shook his head lightly after reading the scroll in his hand.


    "First brother, how is it? Is there any lead?", the man to his left asked.


    "It is still a dead end. It seems like Kai Chen doesn''t move his men at that night", the man in the middle replied. A hint disappointment could be seen in his wise looking eyes.


    "What should we do then? We have tried to use everything in our disposal. So that, we can find out the murderor of third brother but it seems like we have failed again", the man who was sitting at the left corner spoke.


    "Fourth brother, why are you not saying anything?", he looked at the person who was sitting at the right side.


    "Big brother, there is no need to be frustrated.Third brother must be avenged but now is not the time. We must strengthen ourselves further", the person who was sitting at the right, spoke.


    "Second brother, fourth brother is right. There is no need to be impatient. We must prepare ourselves. So that, we can avenge third brother even if the culprit is the member of a royal family", the person in the middle spoke.


    "Who is it?", the man who was sitting in the right suddenly shouted. His gaze moved around as he cautiously observed his surrounding.


    "Fourth brother, what happened?", the person in the middle asked as he also started to survey his surrounding. The person who was sitting in the left didn''t say anything as he took out a battle axe from his waist and turned to look at his surrounding.


    "A good seedling, indeed. No wonder you managed to give birth to that kiddo", Zhan Lin chuckled as he didn''t want to hide anyfurther.


    Earlier he had released his aura slightly. So that, he could test the three brothers of Zhan family. It was Zhan Chen''s father who managed to sense his aura first.


    "Who are you", the second uncle of Zhan Chen asked as he tightened his grip on the battle axe. Zhan Chen''s father also ced his hand on the hilt of his sword.


    "Little brats, no need to show such reactions. We all are from Zhan n. I will never harm the remaining descendants of my Zhan n", Zhan Lin spoke as he smiled at the three brothers.


    "Senior, may I inquire who are you? Are you rted to my Zhan family?", the eldest uncle of Zhan Chen cautiously looked at Zhan Lin.


    Zhan Lin felt a headache when he heard the question of Zhan Chen''s eldest uncle.


    "You will learn everything after I bring you over to the Zhan family residence. For now, quickly say your good bye to your subordinates. I don''t want to keep those girls waiting for us", Zhan Lin spoke in an impatient tone.


    Before the eldest uncle of Zhan Chen could say anything, he saw some soldiers being pulled into the tent by an invisible force. "What is going on?", he murmured as he saw some soldiers being pulled over through air.


    "Ok, quickly tell them what you want to speak. I am taking you with me after three minutes", Zhan Lin spoke. Zhan Chen''s eldest uncle felt his head spin by the sudden turns of event. He took a minute to digest everything. Then, looked towards Zhan Lin again. He couldn''t feel any malicious intention from Zhan Lin. Moreover, as a wise person, he knew his power power was nothingpared to the old man Infront of him. So, he decided to follow along themands of the old man.


    -------------


    "Chen-er, are you really nning to leave?", Li Qingzhao asked after they went back to her room. Zhan Chen''s other aunts went over to arrange a family dinner for everyone. She chose to talk with Zhan Chen for a little before joining her sisters.


    "Yes mother, I am prepared to leave. I can''t progress my cultivation if I stay in the Redcloud kingdom", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Then, when will you return?", Li Qingzhao''s eyes misted over as she looked at Zhan Chen. Since giving birth to Zhan Chen, it was the first time Zhan Chen going to leave her side. So, her heart felt slight reluctant about it.


    "Mother, I wille back to see you frequently. Moreover, father is alsoing back. You will not be lonely even if I leave for a while", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Qingzhao blushed a little after she heard Zhan Chen talking about his father.


    "How can not I be lonely? Your father loves to move around. If you are thinking about me, then you should give a grandson to me quickly", Li Qingzhao spoke as she stared at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen chuckled but didn''t say anything.


    "How is Ruyan? Is she okay?", Li Qingzhao asked.


    She is busy in managing her Firecloud treasure pavilion", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Ask her to visit me. She can''t hide from me just because you two be lovers", Li Qingzhao spoke.


    "I will ask her then", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Mother, how is your cultivation going? I have never found a suitable time to ask you about it", Zhan Chen looked towards his mother. Now that he was leaving, he was nning to help her mother in her cultivation path.


    "My cultivation? I am at fourth stage of True essence realm", Li Qingzhao replied.


    "Mother, your talent is decent enough. You are progressing slowly only because of the thin heaven and earth energy", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What grade is your cultivation technique? Can I take a look at it?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "It is a peak stage Profound grade cultivation manual. I don''t mind if you take a look at it", Li Qingzhao spoke as she took out a cultivation manual from a secret ce of her room.


    "Chen-er, I have never given it to you because this manual is of water attribute", Li Qingzhao spoke.


    "Mother, no need to exin. I just felt curious to see your cultivation manual", Zhan Chen replied as he picked up the thin book.


    ''Seven springs manual'', Zhan Chen took a look at its front page. Then started to turn the pages. The content of the manual was extremely easy to understand. Zhan Chen took less than five minutes to memorize the entire manual.


    "Fourth sister, what are you doing?", the voice of the third aunt of Zhan Chen came.


    "Chen-er, keep this manual with you. You can give it to me after reading it properly", Li Qingzhao spoke as she went outside of her room. Zhan Chen''s third was waiting outside of her room. Both of them left towards outside after Li Qingzhao came over.


    My understanding of water element was not good but it was still good enough to modify this manual. I can present a earth stage manual to her before leaving. Later I will find a heaven stage manual for her", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Let''s check my spiritual cultivation while I am free", Zhan Chen murmured and sat crosslegged inside the room of his mother. He closed his eyes and his consciousness submerged inside his mental world.


    His mental world was no more barren like before. There were illusory spiritual drops which had gathered to create a puddle.


    "Let''s see, if I can use a mental attack now", Zhan Chen thought to himself. With a thought of his mind, his spiritual energy turned into a spear like shape. Zhan Chen nodded his head in satisfaction after seeing the materialization of his spiritual energy.


    He kept doing experiment with his spiritual energy. He withdrew from his mental world after he noticed a powerful aura through his soul consciousness.


    Zhan Chen''s aunts also felt the approaching aura of Zhan Lin. An excited look appeared in their eyes as they gathered in a ce to wee them.


    "Ok, little brats. You can ask your wives whatever the question you wanted to ask. You only have one night to rx. I will watch over your cultivation from tomorrow", Zhan Lin spoke and vanished from the sight.


    "How is it possible? We have arrived at our Zhan family estate?", the eldest uncle of Zhan Chen murmured with a dumbfounded look.


    A little time has passed since they have left with the mysterious expert. But now they are already at their residence. Zhan Chen''s eldest uncle became stunned for a moment. But his expression changed quickly after he saw his wife looking at him with teary eyes.


    "Ranqing", he called out and quickly went towards her.


    "Ranqing, it has been hard on you", Zhan Chen''s eldest uncle spoke after wiping the tear drops from his wife''s face.


    Zhan Chen''s second aunt was different. She resisted her tear stubbornly but her tear drops came out unceasingly after Zhan Chen''s second uncle leaned her towards him.


    Li Qingzhao''s eyes were also misty as she didn''t resist the hug from Zhan Chen''s father.


    "Zhan Long, what are you doing? Chen-er is watching from the side", Li Qingzhao blushed as she freed herself from Zhan Long''s embrace.


    Zhan Long didn''t seem to be ashamed at all as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little brat, how are you doing?", he smiled towards Zhan Chen.


    "Father", Zhan Chen bowed slightly after seeing his father smiling towards him.


    "Little brat, you seems to have be more cheeky after I have left", Zhan Long chuckled after Zhan Chen bowed towards him.


    Where is your manners? Bow to your uncles", Zhan Long chided Zhan Chen.


    "They are too busy to notice me", Zhan Chen chuckled as he threw a nce at his eldest uncle and second uncle.


    "Chen-er, don''t be impudent. How can you talk to your seniors like this?", Li Qingzhao chided from the side.


    "Sister Qingzhao, how have you been?", Zhan Chen''s eldest uncle asked to Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao hurriedly bowed her head as she noticed Zhan Huan''s gaze towards her.


    "Sister Qingzhao is as formal as ever", Zhan Huan chuckled. His gaze shifted towards Zhan Chen as he smiled towards him.


    "Little Chen, how have you been? Forgive your uncle for not attaining youring of age ceremony", Zhan Huan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Uncle, it is no big deal. You should be more worried about the anger of big sis", Zhan Chen smiled.


    "Greetings, second uncle", Zhan Chen bowed his head towards Zhan Fan. Zhan Fan was the father of Zhan Qingyue and the strictest amongst his uncles.


    Zhan Fan didn''t reply to him as he scanned Zhan Chen throughly with his hawk like eyes. A hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes after he observed Zhan Chen.


    "Little Chen, you have changed. Looks like you have sessfully managed to cultivate again", Zhan Fanmented.


    Everyone moved towards the dining hall which was not used since the three brothers had left for the war. The hall was wide as everyone took a seat in the grand hall.


    "If it is possible I would like to see mother here", Zhan Long murmured. His voice could not reach others ears but Zhan Chen could hear it as he was sitting next to his father.


    "Father, no need to worry.. I will find a cure for grand mother before leaving for the Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 71 - Three Beautiful Guests

    The atmosphere in the dining hall became noisy after few moments. Everyone started to talk about the recent things the Zhan family has faced.


    "Little Chen is a formation Grandmaster?", Zhan Huan''s eyes widened after he heard about the achievement of Zhan Chen.


    "No need to feel surprised. Ancestor has said that little chain can be a formation king in future", Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt spoke with a smile.


    "It is unbelievable. How can our little brat be a formation Grandmaster?", Zhan Long blurted out after hearing the ongoing discussion.


    "Dear, it is true. Our Chen-er has be a capable child in these few days", Li Qingzhao spoke after hearing the disbelief in Zhan Long''s eyes.


    "Little brat? is your mother saying the truth?", Zhan Long looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yup, I have managed to arrange a minor formation for our Zhan family ", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    "Unbelievable!", Zhan Fan murmured after hearing the confirmation from Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    "Fortunately, our Zhan family has an ancestor. Otherwise, I don''t know what would have happened if that senior has not shown himself", Zhan Huanmented as he felt thankful towards the mysterious ancestor of his Zhan family.


    Zhan Fan and Zhan Long also nodded their heads as they felt thankful towards Zhan Lin.


    Everyone returned to their livingplexes after the banquet is over. Zhan Chen also returned to his livingplex after the banquet has ended.


    "There is no need to stay here. My girls must be waiting for me in the Firecloud treasure pavilion", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He nned to sneak outside the Zhan familyplex. He spread his soul consciousness and decided to check his surroundings fast.


    A curse came out from his mouth as soon as he spread his soul consciousness. "Damn it, why are you in such a hurry? You should have take mother to her room first", Zhan Chen murmured as he saw his father kissing his mother outside of her room. The hand of his father was also not ideal as it was roaming all over his mother''s body.


    "Forget it. It is not their fault. It has been eight months since they have met. It is best to give them time to catch up", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He spread his soul consciousness to his surroundings and after checking around for a while, he chose to sneak out from the Zhan familyplex. His destination was clear. He wanted to visit the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    Zhan family guards got a fright when they saw Zhan Chen going out of the Zhan family Complex in the night. Zhan Chen was nning to avoid them but they saw him when Zhan Chen took a horse from the Zhan family camp.


    "Young master, where are you going? It is dangerous to move around in the night", the Zhan family guard who was in charge of horses, spoke worriedly.


    "No need to worry. I am visiting the Firecloud treasure pavilion", Zhan Chen spoke and rode off with his horse.


    "Be safe, young master", the Zhan family guard wished behind his back. Zhan Chen heard him but didn''t turn around his head. His little brother is rioting currently. He was sessful in holding off it since this long but he didn''t want to wait any longer.


    The guards of the Firecloud treasure pavilion became surprised for a moment but they didn''t stop Zhan Chen. There was clear order to let in the young master of Zhan family. So, they decided to let him enter without asking any question.


    Zhan Chen climbed the stairs and moved towards the second floor. A clear bell likeughter came to his ears after he entered the second floor of the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    "Su''er, you are amazing. How can you talk about those things despite being a girl yourself?", a melodious voice of a girl came to the ear of Zhan Chen.


    "Miss, how can I be amazing? I am just telling the facts how they are", the reply of Su''er came right after.


    "Ah! young master is here", Ling''er cried out after she saw Zhan Chen entering the main hall of the second floor.


    "Greetings miss Shen", Zhan Chen bowed slightly towards Shen Ruyan and sat on a seat nonchntly. His gaze fell upon the three new faces who were currently doing a conversation with Su''er and Ling''er.


    "Ling''er, can you introduce me to these three beautifuldies?", Zhan Xhennsmilwd towards Ling''er.


    Ling''er nodded her head and introduced the three guests to Zhan Chen.


    "She is miss Li Yan, the daughter of grandmaster Li. She is here to travel with young miss to the Grand sectpetition", Ling''er spoke as she pointed towards Li Yan with her eyes.


    "Greetings, miss", Zhan Chen smiled at Li Yan. Li Yan nodded her head but didn''t say anything. A hint of astonishment appeared in her eyes but she managed to keep her emotion under wrap.


    "And those two pretty misses are?", Zhan Chen looked at the other two girls who were seated near Li Yan.


    "She is miss Kai Min and the miss next to her is Li Shu", Ling''er spoke. Zhan Chen greeted Kai Min and Lin Shu as well and both of them smiled politely towards him.


    Kai Min had an elegant appearance and a pair of clever eyes. She was wearing a natural green coloured dress which was making her more elegant in front of other''s eyes.


    Li Shu had an ordinary appearance but she had an amiable look in her eyes which made her more approachable than the other two girls.


    "Young master, it is rude to not introduce yourself before asking about our identities", Kai Min spoke.


    "I am Zhan Chen. I am also going to participate in the uing Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen replied with a light voice.


    "Oh, it is young master Chen. No wonder, you are allowed to enter the second floor of Firecloud treasure pavilion", Kai Min nodded her head in understanding.


    Li Yan threw some curious nces at Zhan Chen after hearing the words of Kai Min but she still did not say anything. After some casual talk, the three girls went towards their room.


    "And here I thought, you are noting", Shen Ruyan spoke after the three girls left for their room.


    "How is it possible? It is rather hard to stay without you", Zhan Chen spoke as he took a fiery nce at Shen Ruyan.


    "You are not allowed to do anything to me. We can''t do any mistake when these three girls are here", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    "What? How can it be? What should I do without you apanying me?", Zhan Chenined in a sulking voice.


    "Hehe", Shen Ruyan giggled after seeing Zhan Chen''s expression. A pleased smile appeared on her face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Ok, Zhan Chen, we can do itter when no one is around but today it is impossible. Moreover, you need to say goodbye to your family early as we are leaving for the centralnd earlier than nned", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    "Why? Is not there are six months before the Grand sectpetition?", Zhan Chen asked with a confused look in his face.


    "Xie family has interfered. They have ordered for the Grand sectpetition to move up", Shen Ruyan replied.


    "Oh, I see. Then when are we leaving?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "We are leaving in three days. There is no time to waste. So, you should finish up what ever you are nning for your Zhan family ", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    "Oh, I see. I will think about itter. Now the main problem is what should I do? Are we really not going to do it?", Zhan Chen threw a greedy look at Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan was all familiar with Zhan Chen''s gaze. Her cheeks reddened after she felt the burning gaze of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, please understand. We can''t really do this. You can do it with Ling''er and Su''er but please be quite. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    She hurriedly gave a peck on Zhan Chrn''s left cheek and left the main hall.


    "You girls are not going to betray me, right?", Zhan Chen looked at Su''er and Ling''er.


    "We will never betray young master", Ling''er spoke with a thump on her chest. She would be looked heroic if she was to be a boy but now her chest thumping looked ratherical in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen took a look at Ling''er''s chest and smiled evilly. Ling''er''s face reddened after she saw the expression of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, let''s go to our room", Su''er spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and followed after Su''er and Ling''er to their room.


    Meanwhile, Kai Min and Li Shu were having a conversation in the room of Li Shu.


    "Sister Shu, what do you think about young master Zhan Chen?", Kai Min asked.


    "He is rather good looking. But why are you asking?", Li Shu asked with a confused voice.


    "Sister Shu, are you dumb? Don''t you think something is going on. Otherwise, why a young man is allowed into the ce where the young miss of Shen n is staying", Kai Min replied with an intelligent look in her eyes.


    Li Shu wanted to say something but before she could reply a voice entered into two girls'' ears.


    "Mmmm~young master, It ising"


    "Ahhhh~young master, I also can''t hold on"


    Some low moans came after these sounds andeverything became normal once again.


    The cheeks of both of the girls became red immediately. "How shameless", Kai Min snorted and a blush appeared on her pretty cheeks.


    "Young master Chen, what is he doing? It seems like he is doing that with both of them!", Li Shu muttered and her cheeks reddened further after she realized the words of her own sentence.


    "Ahhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhh~ Ahhh~", low moans started to came out as both Li Shu and Kai Min''s face became crimson.


    "Pervert", Kai Min spoke but her attention was focused on that direction.


    "Ahhhh~Young master, it is too deep", came the voice of Ling''er. The voice was faint but it was enough to cause disturbance in the minds of Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Young master Zhan Chen is rather tall. So, I wonder what woulld be....?", Li Shu thought.


    "Ah~What am I thinking", she chided herself and looked towards the direction of Kai Min.


    She became stunned after seeing what Kai Min was doing. Kai Min was not at all looking at her. She had a lost expression on her face as her gaze was focused on the direction from where those disturbing sounds wereing.. Her one hand was grabbing one of her own peak and her other hand was ced between both of her legs.

 Chapter 72 - Two Beauties Were Wetting The Bed

    "Sister Shu", Kai Min called out after she came out of her trance like state. An ashamed expression appeared on her face as she saw the strange look on Li Shu''s face.


    "Sister Shu, please don''t misunderstand. It happened to me automatically. I am not willing to do it", Kai Min''s eyes misted up slightly as she exined her plight to Li Shu.


    "There is something wrong with you earlier. No matter what is happening outside, you could not have lost control like this. So, no need to exin more. I can understand", Li Shu nodded her head in understanding.


    "But do you know what is going on? How can a genius like you lost control over such a thing?", Li Shu probed.


    "Heh"


    "Genius, I have started to hate that word now", Kai Min said with a self-mocking tone.


    "Sister Shu, do you know why I begged sister Yan to bring me to the grand sectpetition?", Kai Min looked towards Li Shu.


    "I am also wondering about it but I did not ask you because I fear you will be displeased", Li Shu spoke.


    "Sister Shu is overthinking things. How can I be mad at you", Kai Min shook her head.


    ''Ahhhhh~''


    ''Ahhhhhh~''


    ''Ahhhhhh~''


    ''Mmmmm~'', faint moaning sounds came from the nearby room once again.


    Li Shu''s cheeks became reddened once again. "I wonder if I can impress young master Chen?", she thought to herself. "How can can I think about such bad things?", she chided herself after the thought appeared inside her mind.


    "Sister Min, it is so intense. Should we change our location?", Li Shu focused her attention on Kai Min again. But a soul stirring scene appeared in front of her eyes when she looked towards Kai Min.


    Kai Min''s face was currently red like an apple. She had a hazy look on her eyes as her hand was currently ying with her own sacred treasure.


    Her other hand was busy in massaging her two bouncy peaks. Unlike before, Kai Min was not doing things on the top of her clothes. Rather, her hands were currently inserted inside her clothes. Li Shu could see some of the whitish patches of her peaks.


    Li Shu didn''t know what to do as she sat stunned for some minutes. From the distance that passionate music wasing and in front of her eyes, Kai Min was doing such intense things. She wanted to wake up Kai Min but before she could do a tingling sensation came to her body.


    Her desire suppressed her rational thinking as she gave in to her passion. She ced her hand on the top of her little sister and started to rob it slowly. "Young master Chen, I wonder if we can do that together", Li Shu''s mind started to wonder around as she heard those sounds of bliss.


    -------------


    Zhan Chen did not care what the other people were thinking. His eyes were currently focused on beautiful back view of Ling''er.


    His waist was moving rapidly as he was pounding fiercely behind Su''er''s back. His hand did not remain idle as he was using it to massage the spongy b.u.t.t.o.c.k. of Ling''er.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah!", Zhan Chen continued to thrust his dragon inside the sacred cave of Su''er. Su''er''s body trembled nonstop as she could only moan to express the excitement of her body.


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~


    "Young master, It ising", Su''er spoke as she felt something moved down from her body. Zhan Chen did not reply as he pounded the back of Su''er more fiercely.


    "Ahhhhh~", with a loud moan Su''er released a stream of fragrant water from her sacred cave. Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched as it became more excited. Zhan Chen pounded Su''er for another minute. Then he left Su''er to rest and moved his little brother towards Ling''er.


    "Young master, are we going to do it again?", Ling''er asked as she gulped down nervously.


    "Are you ready?", Zhan Chen asked while squeezing her fleshy b.u.t.t.o.c.k.


    "Mmmmm~Young master, I am ready. Should I turn around?", Ling''er asked as she was lying on top of her stomach.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes became more fiery as he saw Ling''er lying down on top of her belly. Her gorgeous back was fully exposed to him.


    "No need. Lie down like this", Zhan Chen spoke and squeezed the flesh on her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s once again.


    He sat down on her thinghs and pointed his dragon towards her sacred cave. Ling''er''s little sister was already drooling. So, Zhan Chen''s dragon easily entered her cave.


    "Wow, it feels incredible", Zhan Cheneented as he started to stab his dragon from the behind of Ling''er.


    "Ahhhhh~it is so tight", Ling''er spoke as her lower lips mped down the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt like burning as he thrusted his dragon more fiercely.


    "Ahhhh~Ahhhhh~Ahhhhhh~", Ling''er started to moan as Zhan Chen pounded his sacred cave from her behind. It was a unique feeling for Zhan Chen and Ling''er as as Zhan Chen was stabbing his dragon into the sacred cave of Ling''er while sitting on top of her.


    Ling''er released her yin essence once again after being pounded by Zhan Chen for another few minutes. Her body became limp as she had already released her yin esssence for three times.


    Zhan Chen gradually noticed a problem. Su''er and Ling''er had lower tolerance than Shen Ruyan. Those two girls had already released their yin essnce few times but his little brother was yet to rse his Yang essnce. Moreover, even after releasing his Yang essence one time, his little brother seemed to be not satisfied. Zhan Chen felt a headache when he thought about to satisfy the demand of his little brother.


    He stopped what he was thinking when he felt a moist sensation on his little brother. It was Su''er who was using her beautiful lips to serve his little brother.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Su''er moved her mouth back and forth as a specific sound came from her mouth. She was doing it rather intently. So, the voice was loud and clear.


    "Ahhh~What is this sound? It feels so lewd", Li Shu spoke as she rubbed her hand more intently on her little sister. The sound was not at all clear but Li Shu''s entire attention was currently focused on the sounding from the slightly opened door.


    "Ahhhh~ It feels so good", Li Shu murmured as she rubbed her sacred treasure more intently. Her gaze fell upon Kai Min and her mind felt more stimted after seeing what Kai Min was doing.


    Her sacred treasure was fully visible as Kai Min had already removed her ck inner wear. Her lower lips were moist as she had currently inserted two of her fingers inside her cave.


    Her upper garments were also taken down by her. Her two beautiful peaks were currently fully visible to Li Shu.


    "Ahhhh~ I can''t hold anymore", Li Shu thought as a burst of yin water came out from her cave. Her lower lips twitched as a wet patch apeared under her body.


    She looked at Kai Min and she was still in that trance like state. Her cheeks were red as she was still busy in taking care of her little sister.


    "Unbelievable, young master Chen is still doing it!", Li Shu eximed as she heard the erotic sound stilling from the opened door.


    "Mmmmm~", Kai Min moaned as the redness of her cheeks grew. "What is happening to sister Min. I hope she will be okay after finishing this", Li Shu thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen finally released her yang essence inside the cave of Su''er. Su''er''s body became limp after she released her yin essence. Zhan Chen let both of the girls take rest and unintentionally released her soul consciousness to check the things before going to cultivate.


    A stunned look appeared on his face as she saw the soul stirring scene inside the guest''s room. Li Shu''s face was red as she was sitting on a wet patch. Her rednessbwas yet to fed. So, it was not difficult to guess what she was doing. An evil thunder came upward from his dragon when he saw what Kai Min was doing.


    "Hmm! Such thick yin energy", Zhan Chen murmured after feeling the thickness of the yin energy inside Li Shu''s room.


    His curiousity piqued up as he kept staring at Li Shu''s room. Kai Min groped her abundant peaks with her hand and his other hand was currently busy in ying with her little sister.


    ''Mmmmm~


    Mmmmm~'', faint moans escaped from Kai Min''s mouth as she pushed her fingers into her sacred cave. The concentration of Yin energy thickened as she kept ying with her little sister. Then with a loud moan, she released a stream of yin essence on the bed of Li Shu.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 73 - Poisonous Yin Body

    A chilly wave came out from the room of Li Shu as both Ling''er and Su''er severed involuntarily. Zhan Chen brought out his soul fire and expelled the chilly wind from the room of Su''er and Ling''er.


    His soul consciousness was still focused on the happenings of Li Shu''s room.


    "What is this cold feeling", Li Shu eximed while her teeth chattered involuntarily.


    "Ah! What am I doing?", Kai Min also came to her sense after she released her yin essence. She saw the appearance of Li Shu who was trembling dur to the cold wind released from her yin essence.


    "Sister Shu, I am sorry", Kai Min didn''t know what to do. She hurriedly pulled up her clothes and covered her exposed body parts. Then she found a nket and covered it on the body of Lin Shu.


    "Sister Min, you don''t have to worry about me.. It is just this sudden cold wind that take me by surprise", Li Shu smiled.


    "Sister Min, how are you feeling now?", LI Shu looked towards Kai Min.


    "I am feeling okay but earlier that thing, I don''t know what to do about it", Kai Min blushed deeply and a helpless and rather sorroful look appeared on her beautiful face.


    "Sister Shu, do you know why can''t I progress my cultivation?", Kai Min looked towards Li Shu.


    "What happened? You seems to be fine one year ago when we havest met?", Li Shu looked towards Kai Min.


    "This thing started exactly one year ago, in my birthday. It felt like something was blocking my meridians whenever I have tried to cultivate. The elders of Kai family checked my body but they couldn''t find anything but since then my progress was halted and position in the Kai n declined", Kai Min spoke.


    "Those bastards, when I coulf cultivate they behaved with my family courteously but after finding about my cultivation, they started to disrespect them gradually. Finally, second elder agrees to the request of that fiend, Mang Fu", Kai Min clenched his fists and spoke.


    "How dare they?", Li Shu shouted after hearing the name of Mang Fu. The name of Mang Fu was well-known in the provincial capital. As one of the mainline descendant of the Mang n, he unted his status everywhere and abused the power of his n.


    "No wonder, you have to beg to my cousin", Li Shu looked towards Kai Min as a sympathetic look appeared in her eyes.


    "What are you nning to do? Even though my cousin brought you out of the Kai n but he couldn''t do anything to the deal arranged. Even my uncle, Grandmaster Li would not like to offend someone from the Mang n", Li Shu asked in a worried tone.


    Kai Min''s heart warmed after she saw genuine concern in the eyes ofi Shu. "Sissyer Shu, I am really not wrong about you. You are really a good girl", Kai Min spoke.


    "As for my concern, leave it to the fate. The Kai n is currently keeping my family like a hostage. They didn''t stop me when Ie out with Li Yan because they didn''t think I can do anything in the uing Grand sectpetition", Kai Min spoke as a helpless expression appeared in her pretty looking eyes.


    "I would rather die than marry that bastard. But my family will not be spared if I do anything. I can only hope to catch the attention of someone powerful. I can promise anything, I just like to protect my family from that bastard''s clutch", Kai Min spoke as tear drops poured out from her pretty looking eyes


    "Sister Min, don''t lose hope yet. What if you find some amazing medicinal pills and able to cultivate once again. Let''s hope for the best", Li Shu spoke.


    "It is useless. Do you think provincial capitalck alchemists? I have gone to see many of them but all of them are helpless Infront of my body condition. They say my body has a innate constitution which would stop me from cultivating further", Kai Min replied as a sorrowful look appeared on her face.


    Li Shu didn''t know what to say as she saw one of the celebrated genius of Provincial capital shedding tear helplessly.


    "They are right. You have an innate constitution but they are wrong about one thing. Your constitution does not prevent you from cultivating rather it is a heavenly blessing which may take you to the peak", before Li Shu could say anything a manly voice interrupted their conversation.


    "Who is it?", Kai Min asked as she quickly adjusted the look on her face. Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing herposure. One must know how to face hardship when embarking on the cultivation journey. In this regard, Kai Min had already proved herself worthy.


    "Miss Shu, miss Min, sorry for the interruption? May Ie inside", Zhan Chen asked while standing infront of their gates.


    Li Shu looked towards Kai Min with a flustered look on her face. Kai Min nodded her head but she was also feeling nervous from I side. Her inner.ost secret which was bothering her since a long time was already learned by Zhan Chen. So, she also felt nervous.


    "Young master Chen, pleasee in", Li Shu spoke. Their door was not locked. So, Zhan Chen easily entered inside their room.


    "Young master Chen, why are you here?", Li Shu asked in a flustered voice. An itchy feeling came to herher region again after she saw the charming appearance of Zhan Chen.


    "What? Am not I weed here?", Zhan Chen smiled lightly towards Li Shu. Li Shu''s little heart pounded rapidly after she saw Zhan Chen smiling towards her.


    "How can it be? Young master Chen, please make yourselffortable", Li Shu spoke with a blush.


    Kai Min became dumbfounded as she heard the conversation between Zhan Chen and Li Shu. It was no secret to her that Li Shu had already fallen for the charm of Zhan Chen. No one could me her also as Kai Min was also feeling a kind of attraction from the enigmatic personality of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled at her after feeling the gaze of Kai Min. "Miss Min", Zhan Chen greeted Kai Min.


    "Young master Chen, when did youe? Are not you there, doing...", Kai Min stopped before she couldplete her sentence. A blush appeared on her face as she recalled the soul stirring sound from earlier.


    "Don''t worry about it. It is just part of my routine cultivation", Zhan Chen smiled.


    "Now, let''se to the main topic and topic is your body", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "My body?", Kai Min''s entire face becamepletely red after she heard the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Please don''t misunderstand. I mean your body constitution", Zhan Chen rified himself with a smile.


    "What about it? Can you first tell me how do you learn about it? Are you listening to our conversation?", Kai Min confronted Zhan Chen.


    "I have my way. Moreover, you can''t tell that I am listening only as I know what miss Min is doing earlier", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile. Kai Min''s face reddened immediately as all of her built up courage went down. She couldn''t look at Zhan Chen anymore.


    "How is this possible? Although the door was not locked it was still closed tightly? So, how can I see what I am doing?", Kai Min thought inside her mind.


    "Miss Min, you should rx. Your secret is safe with me. Moreover, there is no point in anatagonizing a beauty, right?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Kai Min''s heart skipped a bit after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Her heart was resolute but any girl would feel lost if they heard Zhan Chen''s eloquent words. Combined with his appearance, it is too lethal for a girl to handle.


    An example was Li Shu who was already wet again. She was trying her best to resist her finger from touching her little sister.


    Kai Min took a breath to calm down her heart. "Young master Chen, may I know what have youe to visit us?", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Miss Min, your body condition is worrying. Your condition is far worse than you think. "Think, if today''s condition was to happen in a public ce, then what would have happened?", Zhan Chen''s gaze became serious at this moment.


    He had witnessed everything. How Kai Min couldn''t control her mind at that moment and she was doing the things with a hazy mind. For ady to lose her mind like this was indeed unusual.


    Kai Min''s face became crimson for a moment but a grave look appeared on her face as she analyzed the implication of Zhan Chen ''s words. "What should I do?", she murmured helplessly.


    "Miss Min, can I check your hand? It was necessary to check your body condition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Kai Min was already lost on her thoughts. She involuntarily stretched out her hand towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had already checked her body with his soul consciousness but he wanted to be sure. The traditional way of checking one''s body was to check her pulse and meridians. As a learned alchemist, Zhan Chen followed the same path to check the body of Kai Min.


    An astonished look appeared on his face as he took her hand for a minute. He injected his essence energy inside and his astonishment could only increase this time.


    I have guessed incorrectly. To think this type of body would appear infront of me. It is not a Nine yin treasure body but it is aPoisonous yin body", Zhan Chen murmured under his breath.

 Chapter 74 - Miss Shu, Why Are You Feeling Dejected?

    "Young master Chen, what is wrong with sister Min''s body?", Li Shu asked with a worried tone.


    Kai Min also focused her gaze on Zhan Chen as the question that Li Shu had asked was very important to her.


    "Both of you girls, have you heard about the different types of body constitution?", Zhan Chen took a breath and looked towards Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Body constitution! Yes, I know. There are two types of body constitution, innate body type and acquired body type. Among them innate bodies were very rare. Sister Min''s body most be one type of those innate body constitution", Li Shu blinked her pretty eyes and replied.


    "You are correct indeed as the body of Miss Lin was one of those innate body constitution", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "I don''t care whether I have innate body or not but I want to know if there are any treatment to my body condition", Kai Min spoke as he looked towards Zhan Chen nervously..


    "Miss Min, the condition of your body is generally incurable but you are lucky that you havee across me. I have my own methods to resolve your body condition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master Chen, are you telling the truth?", LI Shu looked at Zhan Chen with disbelief in her eyes. Zhan Chen smiled at her but didn''t bother to reply.


    "Do you really have a way?", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen. There was a glimmer of hope in her disheartened eyes.


    "Yes, I have a way but I don''t know whether you will agree to the process", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Tell it, no matter what it is I am no position to disagree", Kai Min spoke after taking a deep breath.


    "Dual cultivate with me. My yang essence is the only thing that can resolve the effect of your Poisonous yin body", Zhan Chen spoke bluntly.


    A hint of anger appeared in the eyes of Kai Min after she heard the blunt words if Zhan Chen. She looked towards him with anger but her anger fade away when she saw the look in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes were crystal clear as Kai Min could not see any kind of lust or desire in his eyes. She felt surprised for a moment as her impression about him overturned.


    "Miss Min, there is really no way to resolve it other than dual cultivation. If I have another way, I would have used it without asking for anything from you", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min.


    "I will not deny that your body is too valuable for me. But I promise that, I will never treat you unfairly after taking you in", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Kai Min blushed after hearing the straightforward words of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was telling casually but for Kai Min, it sounded like a lover''s promise.


    She looked towards Zhan Chen''s face and her cheeks reddened after she saw the handsome appearance of Zhan Chen. She had not thought about it before but Zhan Chen had the most handsome appearance even whenpared to the young masters of the provincial capital.


    Kai Min took some moments to calm down her mind. "Young master Chen, can you give me some time to think about it?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "Take your time. There is no hurry. But you will start to lose your mind more often if you don''t treat it early", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay then, miss Min, miss Shu, good night. Sleep well", Zhan Chen greeted the two girls and left their room.


    "Sister Min is so lucky. Why young master Chen didn''t say those words to me?", a dejected look appeared in the eyes of Li Shu.


    "Miss Shu, why are you feeling dejected? You are looking so adorable earlier", Zhan Chen spoke outside of their door. A surprised look appeared in both of the girl''s faces as they heard Zhan Chen''s voice. It was as if he had a pair of eyes inside, even though he had left the room.


    Li Shu''s cheeks reddened after hearing Zhan Chen''s word. The dejected look in her eyes disappeared as a lovestruck look appeared on her face. "I don''t care anymore. I will ask Ling''er about it", she thought to herself.


    Kai Min had a lost look on her face as she kept measuring the things inside her mind. "Young master Chen is really extraordinary. I can feel it but can he deal with Mang family?", Kai Min thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen returned to the room of Su''er and Ling''er again. His gaze fell upon Ling''er who was in her night clothes.


    "Young master, where did you go earlier?", Ling''er asked Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen smiled and told her about his visit to Li Shu''s room. Ling''er was nonchnt as she head Zhan Chen''s reply. She focused her eyes towards a corner where Su''er was sitting crosslegged.


    "Young master, how much time sister Su''er will take?", Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t worry about her. Her cultivation will increase after she cultivate ording to that Yin nourishing technique", Zhan Chen smiled at her.


    "Young master, can I also cultivate that technique", Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen with a yearning look in her eyes. Improving cultivation was a dream for every cultivator. So, how can she avoid the allure of leveling up cultivation.


    "Ling''er, you are so silly. How can you think that I will give that technique to one of you and deny that technique to another?", Zhan Chen smiled towards Ling''er.


    "Young master, I am sorry", Ling''er lowered her head. But a sweet feeling appeared in her heart after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Earlier she felt dejected thinking that her sister was the only one who received a gift from her young master. But now she understood, she was only thinking of thing by her own.


    Zhan Chen smiled as he could somehow understand her feeling. "Silly girl, I give Su''er that technique became she had just swallowed my yang essence. That technique needs a man''s yang essence to cultivate. You can also cultivate it after receiving my yang essence", Zhan Chen spoke. Ling''er''s face reddened as she looked towards Zhan Chen with charming eyes.


    "Ling''er, you are looking rather beautiful. I would like to go for another round with you but before that I need you to do something for me", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er.


    "Young master, you can ask me anything", Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Then fetch me a pen and paper. I am going to give you a list which you need to take to the manager of Firecloud treasure pavilion", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Understood, young master. Give me a minute", Ling''er spoke and left the room. After few minutes, she came back with a pen and a paper.


    Zhan Chen put in name of some ingredients which he was nning to use for his Zhan family. Ling''er put on some decent clothes, then left her room with the list given by Zhan Chen.


    Su''er is still taking her time. Ling''er wille back but she will also take some time to gather those materials. I better use this period and cultivaye the energy of Su''er and Ling''er", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He sat crosslegged and entered into a meditative state.


    Zhan Chen channeled the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and the yin energy gathered inside his body entered the Yinyang divine diagram which was located on his dantian. It glowed faintly and released a pure stream of essence energy into Zhan Chen''s body.


    Zhan Chen channeled the pure essence energy into his meridians. Essence energy moved from one meridian to another and finally circted in all of the fifty six opened up meridians.


    Zhan Chen stopped after channeling the essence energy into all of his meridians. "This amount will not help me in breaking through to True essence realm. Looks like I have to look for another way", he thought to himself.


    He opened his eyes and looked around. Ling''er still had not returned yet. Zhan Chen thought about Shen Ruyan and moved her soul consciousness towards her room. Shen Ruyan was cultivating with her eyes closed. "Looks like, she is nning to breakthrough", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    He waited patiently for some time. Ling''er came back with some of the female staffs of the Firecloud treasure pavilion. "Young master, here are the things you have ordered", she spoke to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen moved his soul consciousness and checked the things inside the containers. "Ok, you girls can leave now", Zhan Chen waved his hand and dismissed the female staffs of Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    She looked at Ling''er again and she was also looking at him. Zhan Chen moved over and lifted up her chin. Then he nted his lips on her beautiful lips.


    Both of their lips entangled and Ling''er coperated fully as if she wanted to tell Zhan Chen that how much she love him. Zhan Chen explored every inch of her beautiful mouth as his tongue roamed inside her mouth. Ling''er was also doing the same as she reciprocated his action.


    Zhan Chen pulled over her body and his hand roamed around on her slender back. His hands moved further as two fleshy mounds stopped his hands from moving forward.


    (To be continued¡­...)

 Chapter 75 - Marrow Nourishing Spirit Liquid

    "Young Master, we should not do it now. Sister Su''er is still cultivating", Ling''er spoke while blushing.


    Zhan Chen nted another kiss on her lips after seeing her cute appearance. "Rx, you just need to control the noise you make and Su''er will not be disturbed", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Ling''er nodded her head and looked towards Zhan Chen with her charming eyes. Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled as a hint of desire appeared in his eyes.


    "Ling''er, can you use your mouth on it?", Zhan Chen pointed towards his little dragon which was already struggling to get out of his pant.


    Ling''er nodded her head shyly as she threw a nce at the raging dragon of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen took off his clothes and his little brother came to the full view of Ling''er.


    Ling''er gulped a little after seeing the little brother of Zhan Chen.. "Young master, please sit down on the bed", Ling''er spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat down. Ling''er knelt down infront of him and cupped Zhan Chen''s little brother with her right hand. Zhan Chen''s little dragon twitched as it became excited by the smooth feeling of Ling''er''s hand.


    "Young master, it looks like it is bigger than before", Ling''er spoke while stroking the dragon of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen enjoyed the care of Ling''er with a leisurely look in his eyes.


    "Ling''er, you must be seeing it wrong. We are doing it just an hour ago. How can it grow in an hour?", Zhan Chen looked at Ling''er with a smile.


    Ling''er nodded her head and focused her attention on the long rod of Zhan Chen. She brought her lips close to Zhan Chen''s dragon and stretched out her little tongue to lick it.


    "Shhhh!", Zhan Chen took a breath to express the sudden wave of pleasure he was feeling. Ling''er was moistening his dragon with her little tongue.


    Ling''er kept teasing him with her tongue and Zhan Chen felt it unbearable after few moments. "Ling''er, don''t just lick it. Put in inside your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Ling''er nodded her head obediently and put in Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her mouth.


    "Slurp, slurp", Ling''er started to mover her head back and forward as a surge of pleasure came to the mind of Zhan Chen. Her eyes fell upon the family treasure of Zhan Chen. She started to rob it gently with her left hand.


    Zhan Chen felt like a current going inside his body after Ling''er rub his family treasure with her left hand. No one had ever held his family treasure despite the lot of activities he had done so far.


    Ling''er felt more motivated after she saw the pleased expression of Zhan Chen. She increased the pace of her mouth as she kept rubbing Zhan Chen''s family treasure with her left hand.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched violently as a wave of pleasure washed over him. He stretched his hand and pulled Ling''er head more closure to him.


    His dragon entered more deeper inside her mouth as he could feel a surging pleasureing from his dragon. Ling''er took out her head after few moments as Zhan Chen''s dragon was fully drenched by her sweet saliva.


    She took some deep breaths to normalize her breathing. Then she took in the dragon of Zhan Chen again. Her mouth moved back and forth as she increased her intensity.


    This time her little mouth covered almost three forth of his dragon as she could see Zhan Chen feeling much pleasure when she took it deep.


    "Slurp, slurp", she sucked Zhan Chen''s dragon while sitting on a kneeling position infront of him.


    "Ling''er,e over to the bed. You can still do it while lying on top of me", Zhan Chen spoke. Ling''er felt confused but she still let go of his dragon and climbed to the bed.


    Zhan Chen pulled her into his embrace and nted a passionate kiss on her lips. His hand didn''t stay idle. He reached towards her snowy peaks and started to squeeze them with hisrge hands.


    "Ling''er, take down your dress first. Then, ce your hips on top of my face and crouch down", Zhan Chen ordered Ling''er.


    Ling''er blushed heavily but she still did it ording to the wish of Zhan Chen. She stripped herself from her clothes and moved over her body towards Zhan Chen. Her back was facing the face of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, should I move closer?", she spoke with a shy voice.


    "Why are you still hesitating? Just move your b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s towards me and lie down", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled over Ling''er by her waist.


    "Ah!", Ling''er yelped a little but her cute face became crimson after she understood the intention of Zhan Chen.


    "Mmmm~", she moaned as Zhan Chen inserted his tongue inside her sacred cave. Ling''er wiggled her waist a little as she felt incredible.


    Zhan Chen ced his mouth below Ling''er''s waist and started to lick her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhh~"


    "Nnnnnnnn~",


    Ling''er moaned as waves of pleasure washed over her body.


    Ling''er, what are you doing? You should lie down and take care of me", Zhan Chen spoke as his dragon twitched a little to invite Ling''er.


    Ling''er''s face became reddened but she still understood the point of Zhan Chen. She crouched down and took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    "Twin snake biting eachother", Zhan Chen followed after the move and both of them started to taking care of eachother.


    Ling''er couldn''t endure longer as such intense pleasure was too much for her body. "Young master, it ising", she spoke as her body started totwitch. A momentter, a stream of fragrant water came out from her cave. Zhan Chen didn''t move over his mouth as he gulped down a mouthful of her water.


    "It is so good", Ling''er murmured after releasing her yin essence. Zhan Chen moved her body to the bed as he let her take a rest. He stretched his hands and massaged her breasts a little. Ling''er became aroused again after few minutes.


    Zhan Chen parted her legs and her sacred cave became exposed infront of him. He rubbed his long rod on top of her sacred cave.


    "Mmmmm~", Ling''er moaned as she became aroused by the teasing of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen didn''t keep her hanging for long and put his mighty dragon inside her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen prated her deep in one stroke. He started to move his hips and Ling''er''s mind became clouded by the intense amount of pleasure.


    Ahhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~


    Ling''er moaned continuously as Zhan Chen continued to pound her little sister. The buds on top of her peaks became hardened as she felt Zhan Chen''srge hands covering her peaks.


    Zhan Chen kneaded her bouncy peaks as much as he wish. Then he bent down and put one of her peak inside her mouth.


    "Ahhhh~yoing master, you are so good", Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen continued to pound her little sister. His tongue circled around her n.i.p.p.le. and Ling''er felt like dying by the sheer amount of pleasure.


    "Young master, I aming", she moaned as she couldn''t hold out anymore. A stream of fragrant water gushed out from her sacred cave. Zhan Chen didn''t stop this time. He increased his pace and continued to pound her sacred cave with all his might.


    "Ling''er, I am releasing my yang essence. Make sure to not let it spill", Zhan Chen spoke and deposited his Yang essence inside Ling''er''s sacred cave.


    He pulled out his dragon and a trail of his yang essence slid down from the cave of Ling''er. Ling''er wiped the trail of the yang essence with her finger and put her finger inside her mouth. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her carefulness.


    He put on his clothes and took out the pen and paper again. Then he wrote down the ''Yin nourishing technique'' fro Ling''er to cultivate.


    "Ling''er, here is the technique. Make sure to read it sometimes before practicing it", Zhan Chen spoke and gave the paper to Zhan Chen.


    A happy look appeared on the face of Ling''er as she took the paper. "Thank you, young master", she spoke and looked with gratitude filled eyes towards Zhan Chen.


    "Silly girl", Zhan Chen ced a kiss on her forehead. "Make sure to cultivate properly. I am going to the pill room", Zhan Chen spoke. He threw a look at Su''er before leaving but she was still cultivating. He nodded his head and left the room of Su''er and Ling''er.


    He moved over to the pill room which was specially reserved for him to practice his alchemy. He took out the ingredients from their containers and ced it ordingly.


    ''Twin bone grass''


    ''Blood fountain fruit''


    ''Spirit Bamboo shoot'', Zhan Chen nodded his head after arranging all the grade three ingredients.


    "It is enough to prepare the Marrow nourishing spirit liquid for everyone", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He took out his soul fire and ced it on top of the cauldron.


    He threw in the ingredients one by one after heating up the Profound grade cauldron. He mixed the medicinal liquids once agin after extracting them one by one. "It is ready", he murmured after mixing all type of medicinal liquid.

 Chapter 76 - Arranging The Spirit Gathering Formation

    Zhan Chen took out a jade bottle and stored away the Marrow nourishing spirit liquid. He closed off the lid of the pill furnace and left the room.


    Ling''er and Su''er was still cultivating in their room. Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly after entering their room. His little brother reacted strongly after seeing Su''er and Ling''er. Zhan Chen was helpless as his little brother was growing more disobedient with each passing days.


    "One really need more women to practice the Celestial Yin Yang sutra", Zhan Chen sighed to himself. He patted the head of his little brother to make it obedient. But s, what he was thinking and what his little brother require waspletely different.


    "Forget it, nothing could be done at this time. Let''s check Ruyan if she hase out of her cultivation", Zhan Chen thought to himself and spread his soul consciousness towards the room of Shen Ruyan..


    Shen Ruyan was still cultivating in her room. She was looking like an otherworldly beauty while sitting crosslegged inside her room. A smile appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after he saw her calm appearance.


    "There is nothing left to do here. I will leave after cultivating a bit", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He sat crosslegged and operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra. The divine Yinyang diagram glowed as it absorbed the yin essence of Ling''er. A stream of pure essence energy came to Zhan Chen''s body after the divine Yinyang diagram absorbed the yin essence. "I wonder how much energy is needed for breaking into True essence realm?", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen left the room of Su''er and Ling''er after cultivating for a little period of time. There was still a long time remained before the arrival of morning. He decided to arrange the remaining formation work in this period.


    Zhan Chen picked up an exquisite looking box which was brought by Ling''er earlier. Then he strode out of Su''er and Ling''er''s room while holding that exquisite looking box in his hand.


    "Greetings, young master", the guards of Firecloud treasure pavilion bowed their heads after seeing Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and said, "Bring out my horse". One of the guard bowed and left to pick the horse of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt something and turned his head to look behind. Liu Nanxi had appeared silently in a distance.


    "Aunt Liu", Zhan Chen greeted the old woman who always loved to act mysterious.


    "Brat, where are you going in thiste night?", Liu Nanxi asked.


    "I am heading to the Zhan family estate. There are many things to do there. So, I thought to utilize the time before the sunrise", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Ok then, no need to take your horse. I will send you there", Liu Nanxi spoke and held the hand of Zhan Chen. Before the guard of the Firecloud treasure pavilion could bring thehorse of Zhan Chen, he had already left with Liu Nanxi.


    "I will leave you here", Liu Nanxi spoke after bringing Zhan Chen to the gate of the Zhan family estate. She threw a wary and respectful look towards the centeremost part of the Zhan family estate.


    "Thank you aunt Liu", Zhan Chen spoke and Liu Nanxi vanished from where she was standing.


    "Greetings young master", Zhan family guards greeted immediately after Zhan Chen approached the gate of Zhan family estate. Zhan Chen nodded at the guards and entered inside.


    He walked towards the centeremost location of the estate where the core of the Five element profound tribtion formation was located.


    Zhan Chen noticed a soul consciousness spying on him but he didn''t react as he knew who was the owner of ther soul consciousness. It was Zhan Lin, the ancestor of his Zhan family.


    Zhan Lin was curious towards the deeds of Zhan Chen. So, he stretched his soul consciousness to see what Zhan Chen was doing.


    Zhan Chen opened up the exquisite looking box he was carrying and five glowing objects appeared Infront of his eyes.


    "Kiddo, are you nning to use these spiritual pearls?", Zhan Lin''s voice came soon after he opened up the exuisite looking box.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing the question of Zhan Lin. "Greetings senior", he greeted towards the direction of Zhan Lin.


    "You are indeed abnormal. You can even sense the direction where I am concealing myself", Zhan Lin spoke with a surprised tone in his voice.


    "Senior overpraises me", Zhan Chen spoke in a modest voice.


    "What are you nning to do with these?", Zhan Lin pointed at the five glowing egg shaped balls.


    "Senior, I am nning to use these spiritual pearls at the core of the Five element profound tribtion formation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Lin nodded his head and moved to a side. "Continue then. Tell me if you need anything", he spoke to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat crosslegged. He closed his eyes and spread his spiritual energy towards the nearby area. With a thought of his mind, he poured out his spiritual energy and controlled the spiritual energy to make aplex looking diagram.


    His hand moved as he ced the spiritual pearls at the difference corner of the diagram. The diagram released a transpledent light as it light the surrounding area.


    "It is done. Now I only need to connect this spirit gathering formation with the Five element profound tribtion formation", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    Zhan Lin nodded his head after seeing Zhan Chen cing the five spirtual pearls at the different corners of the spirit gathering formation. "What an exquisite control over spiritual energy! I wonder who teach this kid of my n", Zhan Lin thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen closed his eyes again and released his spiritual energy. His spiritual energy covered the entire Zhan family estate. Zhan Chen released a thread of his spiritual energy towards the Abyss jade. Then he connected it with the spirit gathering formation.


    Elemental fluctuation came into being as soon as Zhan Chen connected the spirit gathering formation with the Five element profound tribtion formation. Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing the reaction of the Five element Profound tribtion formation.


    He took out the five spirtual pearls and stored them inside the box. The formation stopped automatically after he took out the spiritual pearls.


    "You don''t need to worry about these spiritual pearls. I will pour my spiritual energy inside if the spiritual pearls ran out of spiritual energy", Zhan Lin spoke.


    "Thank you senior", Zhan Chen looked towards Zhan Lin.


    "Senior, what happened with our Zhan n. I have heard that our Zhan n was attacked by two equally strong powers?", Zhan Chen asked Zhan Lin.


    "Yes, it is true that we are attacked by two powerful forces. But there is more to the situation than you think. I can only say you that there are outsider forces are interfering", Zhan Lin spoke with a profound look in his face.


    Zhan Chen felt confused but didn''t ask anything again. "Forget it, you are not eligible to learn about those matters now. Those guys are very dangerous but the point is that they will not act unless a powerful force appears in our continent. I have heard that they are involved in toppling countless such powers. Their motives are unclear till this date", Zhan Lin spoke.


    Zhan Chen''s body shuddered as he recalled an unpleasant memory. "Could it be those guys?", he clenched his fists tightly.


    "Forget it. I will investigate about them thoroughly. For now, my full focus should be on increasing my cultivation level", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen returned to his room and sat crosslegged. He channeled the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and entered into a cultivation state.


    He opened his eyes only after the sun rose to the sky. "I wonder what mother and aunts are doing?", he thought to himself and walked out of his room.


    "Good morning, young master", little Tao greeted Zhan Chen with a happy look on her face. Zhan Chen pinched her nose a little after seeing her smiling face.


    "Little Tao, have you seen mother and aunts?", Zhan Chen asked little Tao.


    "Yes, they have gone to see old madam", little Tao replied.


    "Is father and uncles are with them?", Zhan Chen asked. Little Tao nodded her head.


    "Then, we should also visit grand mother. I can look at her problem while visiting this time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Little Tao nodded her head and went with Zhan Chen to visit the old madam of Zhan familyplex.


    Zhan Chen walked towards a secluded corner of the Zhan familyplex. A simple looking hut was raised there which was also the current resident of his grand mother.


    There was no guards in the entireplex. Zhan Chen and little Tao came unhindered. They stopped after reaching the hut.


    "Young master, I should stay here. You can go and speak to eldest madam", little Tao spoke in a timid voice.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and walked inside. His gaze fell upon the sicklydy who had a smile on her aged face.

 Chapter 77 - Poison Of Tyrant Silver Snake

    "Little Chen", Zhan Chen''s grand mother called out happily after seeing Zhan Chen entering her room. A big smile appeared on her face after she noticed Zhan Chen.


    "Good morning, grandma", Zhan Chen bowed his head towards his grandmother.


    "Little Chen, how have you been? You seems to grow taller in these few days", she asked to Zhan Chen.


    "Grandma, I am well. I am here to check upon you", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Ah! How sweet. Little Chen is bing more maturetely", the olddy smiled and looked towards Zhan Chen with adoring eyes.


    The jaws of his uncles and his father dropped after they saw the smiling face of their mother. It had been ages since they saw her smile.. She was always strict towards him. Now, Zhan Chen was making her smile just by saying some cheeky lines.


    "Grandma, can you let me check your health?", Zhan Chen looked towards his grandmother.


    The olddy who was still looking beautiful despite her aged appearance, became stunned for a moment after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    A smile appeared on her face after she looked at the earnest expression of Zhan Chen.


    "It is not a problem but how are you going to check my health?", the olddy asked with a smile.


    "Mother, little Chen is indeed somehow capable now in the alchemy. Please let him check your health", Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt added from the side.


    The olddy nodded her head after hearing her eldest daughter inw''s words. "Little Chen, it is really hopeless. But if you still want to check my condition, then you can go ahead", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Grandma, don''t worry. You just need to stretch your hand towards me and don''t resist my essence energy from going inside your body", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Chen''s grandmother nodded her head and stretched out her hand towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen held her wrist and began to examine her body.


    A frown appeared on his face after he started to examine her body. "What I checked with my soul consciousness was indeed true. Grandma is inflicted with a soul poison", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    "Let''s see, what kind of poison it is?", Zhan Chen murmured and injected a strand of his essence energy inside the meridian of his grandmother. His expression changed after he touched the poison with his essence energy. He hurriedly took away the strand of his essnce energy which he had inserted inside the body of his grandmother.


    "Little Chen, are you okay? How can you be so reckless. The poison inside my body is very potent", Zhan Chen''s grandmother asked worriedly.


    Expression of Li Qingzhao also changed after she heard the words of her mother-inw. "Chen-er, are you alright?", she looked towards Zhan Chen in a worried tone. His threea unts also looked towards him in a worried look.


    Zhan Chen took an entire minute to oust the poson from his body. His essence energy was connected to his body. So, it was natural that he would suffer a little.


    "Everyone, no need to be worry. I am fine", Zhan Chen smiled and looked towards everyone.


    "Little kid, have you managed to find out something?", the old woman who always stayed with his grandmother asked.


    "Yes, I know what it is. It is fortunate that the cultivation of grandmother is somehow high. Otherwise, she couldn''t have handled this poison for such a long time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Grandmother, have you ever bitten by a snake? A little snake with a silver coloured body?", Zhan Chen looked towards his grandmother.


    The olddy felt confused as she recalled the past events of her life. "No, I couldn''t recall any such incidents", she shook her head.


    Zhan Chen frowned after seeing his grandmother shaking her head. Then, how do you get exposed to the poison of Tyrant silver snake?", Zhan Chen asked his grandmother.


    "Tyrant silver snake!", Zhan Huan, the eldest uncle of Zhan Huan eximed as a worried look appeared on his mature face.


    "Eldest brother, what is it? What is a Tyrant silver snake?", Zhan Long, the father of Zhan Chen asked his eldest brother.


    "Tyrant silver snake! It is those bastards doing. Young miss, it is poison tower. Zhen family has a rtionship with them", the old woman who always stayed with Zhan Chen''s grandmother blurted out in an angered voice.


    "Aunt Mumu, it doesn''t matter now. Please restrain your anger. Aftering here, I don''t know I could go back ever again", Zhan Chen''s grandmother sopke as a lost look appeared on her face.


    "Grandma, it is alright. The poison of Tyrant silver snake is nothing. You have resisted for so long and thank you for your persistence. Now that I have found it, I can''t let the poison stay inside your body", Zhan Chen spoke with a serious tone.


    Zhan Chen''s grandmother ft surrised after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. A look of disbelief appeared in her eyes when she looked at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled at her as he could understand why she was looking at him in disbelief. Because it is said that, the poison of Tyrant silver snake is incurable unless a miracle is happened. But, Zhan Chen was different. He had learned from the alchemy sage in his past life. So, it is not a problem for him to treat someone who is affected with the poison of a Tyrant silver snake.


    "Send little Tao to get a set of silver needles. I will do an acupuncture treatment on grandmother", Zhan Chen looked towards his mother.


    "No need, I am personally going to fetch the best set of needles", Zhan Fan, the second uncle of Zhan Chen spoke and hurriedly left the room.


    A moment of silence followed his departure. "Senior Mumu, you are also injured, right?", Zhan Chen looked towards the old woman who always guarded his grandmother.


    "Yes, but you don''t need to worry about me. It is alright, if you can releive the young miss from her suffering", the old woman replied.


    "Little Chen, can you really do it?", the grand mother of Zhan Chen looked towards him. Zhan Chen nodded his head confidentlyas he waspletely sure of sess.


    A hopeful look appeared in the eyes of Zhan Chen''s grand mother after he saw the confident look on Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen''s father and Zhan Chen''s eldest uncle also looked towards Zhan Chen with hopeful eyes.


    Zhan Fan didn''t take much time as he rushed back within half an hour. He handed over a box to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen opened the box and nodded his head after seeing the fifty six silver needles lying in the box.


    "Everyone, you have to wait outside as the poison of Tyrant silver snake had soul corroding property. You need to maintain at least twenty feet of distance", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Do we really have to move over?", Zhan Chen''s third aunt muttered. "Third sister, let''s go", Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt held her hand and took her out of the wooden hut.


    "Brat, be careful", Zhan Chen''s father reminded before leaving. Before long only granny Mumu, his grandmother and Zhan Chen remained inside the room.


    "Senior Mumu, you also have to leave", Zhan Chen looked towards the old woman who was standing nearby.


    "Brat, be careful while treating young miss. I am leaving", the old woman spoke and left the room.


    "Senior, wait a minute", Zhan Chen spoke. The old woman paused in her way after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Senior, tell someone to arrange a bathing tub for grand mother. It will be helpful in containing the spread of the poison", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The old woman nodded her head and left the room. After sometime, some guards came with a bathing tub with them.


    "Feel the bathing tub with water", Zhan Chenmanded and the Zhan family guards did as hemanded.


    "You can leave. Maintain a minimum twenty feet distance from here ", Zhan Chen spoke. The guards bowed their heads towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Chen ''s grandmother before leaving the room.


    "Grand mother, please put away your clothes. Otherwise, I can''t pierce your meridians", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The olddy blushed a little after hearing the request of her grand son. "Is there no other way?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Grand mother, you can rx. There is no one here. Moreover, you only need to put away your upper clothes. You can still put on your inner clothes", Zhan Chen looked towards his grandmother.


    The olddy felt shy despite her age. But she still took away her clothes one by one. "Grandma most be a beauty at her prime", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Ok, enter the bath tub now", Zhan Chen spoke to his grandmother after she put off her clothes.


    The grand mother of Zhan Chen nodded her head and tried to move from her sitting position. Her body was shaky as she had not moved from her bed since years. Zhan Chen helped her moving to the bath tub.


    Then he took out the silver needles one by one. He generated his soul fire in a little amount and warmed the silver needles. The amount of his soul fire was so less that his grand mother couldn''t see it but she could feel the heat. She looked towards Zhan Chen curiously but couldn''t see anything.


    Zhan Chen stopped after heating all the needles. He put the needles inside water to reduce the temperature. Then he took out the needles and started to insert them one by one inside his grandmother''s meridians.

 Chapter 78 - Young Master, You Are Amazing

    The silver needles turrned bluish-ck after they entered the meridian points of Zhan Chen''s grandmother. Zhan Chen was quick with his hand as he took only some minutes to insert all the fifty six silver needles inside his grandmother''s body.


    The olddy looked at Zhan Chen with surprise because Zhan didn''t even think properly to locate her meridian points. "Grandna, don''t be distracted. Push the poison towards the needles with the help of your essence energy", Zhan Chen spoke to his grandmother.


    The olddy nodded her head and tried to push the poison of Tyrant silver snake out of her body. She felt a stinging pain all over her body but she still kept pushing despite the pain she was feeling.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing the effort of his grandmother. He knew this would cause a sharp pain to her but he didn''t say anything as it was a necessary step for expelling the poison of Tyrant silver snake out of his grandmother''s body.


    The crystal clear colour of the water changed after the poison seeped into the needles. The pained expression of his grandmother also changed gradually with the passing of time..


    "Thankfully, it is the ordinary poison of a Tyrant silver snake. Otherwise, if the poison used was to be extracted from it''s gall dder then it would be troublesome to deal with", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Grandma, you cane out now", Zhan Chen spoke after waiting for half an hour. "Little Chen, thank you", the olddy looked at Zhan Chen gratefully. It has been years since she was suffering from this poison. She thought it was a hopeless situation but somehow her grandson managed to releive her out of the poison. She was feeling very happy at this moment.


    Zhan Chen took out the needles after she came out of the bathtub. He put the needles inside another bowl of fresh water and then warmed them one by one with his soul fire.


    "Grandma, how are you feeling?", Zhan Chen looked towards his grandmother. Her grandmother was looking healthier than before. Although she had a tired appearance on her face but her condition was much betterpared to her earlier self.


    "Little Chen", the olddy''s eyes misted up slightly. The happiness came to her too suddenly. Moreover, the cause of her happiness was his own grandson. So, she was feeling extremely emotional at this moment.


    "Grandmother, you should rest. I will concoct some soul recovering pills for you. You willpletely recover after you consume some soul recovery pills", Zhan Chen looked towards his grandmother. The olddy wiped her eyes and nodded her head with a smile. This time her smile was much brilliant as she waspletely free from her physical and emotional shackle.


    -------------


    "Su''er, Ling''er, may Ie in?", Li Shu asked after knocking the door of Su''er and Ling''er''s room. She couldn''t control herself any longer after waking up in the morning.


    "Miss Shu, pleasee in", Ling''er spoke after opening the door of their room. Li Shu became stunned after seeing the appearance of Ling''er and Su''er.


    Su''er and Ling''er, both of them had a somehow changed appearance from before. Both of their faces were glowing as there was a kind of confidence in their eyes now.


    "Both of you, you seems to be changed overnight!", Li Shu spoke with a surprised expression.


    "What! We have changed?", Ling''er muttered with a confused voice after listening the words of Li Shu.


    "Wait, it is your cultivation level. How do you manage to do it?", Li Shu asked with a surprised expression on her face.


    Su''er and Ling''er both blushed after listening to Li Shu. Su''er didn''t say anything but Ling''er muttered something in a low voice.


    "It is young master. He is really amazing", Ling''er muttered under her breath. Li Shu felt even more surprised after hearing the muttering of Ling''er. Her eyes glowed but she managed to control herself for the time being.


    Li Shu left after chatting with both Su''er and Ling''er for some time. Su''er looked at Ling''er with a ming look on her face. But she couldn''t say anything after seeing the happy expression on Ling''er''s face. "I hope it wouldn''t cause any trouble for young master", Su''er thought to herself.


    Li Shu left the room of Su''er and Ling''er hurriedly. The reason for her hurry was to inform her findings to Kai Min.


    "Sister Min, please open your door", Li Shu knocked on the door of Kai Min. Kai Min didn''t seem to notice the voice of Li Shu as she was lookingat the roof with a nk look on her face.


    It was only after the continuous knocking of Li Shu did he came out of her reverie. "Good morning, sister Shu", she greeted Li Shu after opening her door.


    "Sister Min, what happened to you? Are you still thinking about yesterday''s matter", Li Shu asked after after seeing the absent-minded look on Kai Min''s face.


    Kai Min nodded her her head after hearing the question of Li Shu. She had not slept properly aftering out of Li Shu''s room. Her mind waspletely upied withplex thpughts as she was still thinking about the proposal of Zhan Chen.


    "What is there to think for? You need to decide for yourself whether to agree to the proposal of young master Chen", Lin Shu looked at Kai Min.


    "In fact if I was in your ce, I would have immediately epted his offer. He is so handsome yet he was still talking with me so kindly", Li Shu muttered as she thought about Zhan Chen. A blushing look appeared on her face after she recalled the visit of Zhan Chen.


    "Girl, you are hopeless", Kai Min shook her head after hearing the words of Li Shu. She knew the exact problem of Li Shu since they were childhood friends. Li Shu had good talent but none of the heirs of prominent families looked at her because of her average appearance. The major setbacks turned Li Shu this way.


    "What do you know? This time I am serious. I can tell that young master Chen is somehow extraordinary", Li Shu rolled her eyes at Kai Min.


    "What is so extraordinary about him? He managed to fight with some Meridian opening realm warriors but so what? I can also do that. In fact, sister Yan can even fight with True essence realm warriors", Kai Min retorted.


    "That is not the point. I have speciallye here to inform you about something", Li Shu looked at Kai Min with a serious look on her face. Kai Min ft surrised after seeing the serious look of Li Shu. A curious expression appeared in her eyes as she looked towards Li Shu.


    Zhan Chen had no idea that some beauties were discussing about him in the early morning. He faced the admiring looks of his aunts proudly and then left the ce. Before leaving, he gave his uncles and aunts the Marrow nourishing spirit liquid. It was obvious that, he wouldn''t miss his father and mother. After distributing the marrow nourishing spirit liquid and guiding them about how to use it, he left the Zhan familyplex.


    Zhan Chen had a set of objective this time. He had decided to breakthrough to True essence realm before leaving the Red cloud kingdom.


    "Good morning, young master", the guards of Firecloud treasure pavilion bowed their head towards Zhan Chen. They looked at Zhan Chen curiously as they pondered about what Zhan Chen was doing in the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    Zhan Chen didn''t care about the what the guards were thinking. He greeted the middle aged manager of Firecloud treasure pavilion and climbed the stairs.


    His first destination was the room of Su''er and Ling''er as he wanted to check upon both of his girls. "Young master", Ling''er called out happily after opening the door. Su''er also had a happy look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Thank you, young master", Su''er bowed slightly towards Zhan Chen. "What are you doing? It is only natural that your cultivation will improve after you girls cultivation with me", Zhan Chen looked at Su''er with a smile on her face.


    He stretched both of his hands and pulled both Su''er and Ling''er into his embrace. Then he raised the chin of Su''er and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips. He did same with Ling''er and nted a kiss on her red lips.


    "Young master, you are amazing. My cultivation has increased to fourth stage Meridian opening realm after practicing the Yin nourishing technique", Ling''er looked at Zhan Chen with an infatuated look on her face.


    "Then how are you nning to reward your young master?", Zhan Chen smirked evily. He moved his hand towards her back and gave a sweeze to her fleshy b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.


    "Young master, we can not do it now. Miss Min and Miss Shu are waiting for you since two hours", Ling''er spoke with a reddened face. Her blushing look had a fatal attraction for Zhan Chen as he gave another squeeze


    to Ling''er''s buttock.


    "Interesting", he chuckled after hearing the words of Ling''er.

 Chapter 79 - You Can Join Us Anytime

    "It will be inconsiderate of me if I kept miss Shu, miss Min waiting for me. Ling''er do me a favour then. Go and invite miss Shu and miss Min", Zhan Chen smiled towards Ling''er.


    "Ok, young master", Ling''er spoke in a reddened face. Her b.u.t.t.o.c.k. was still feeling itchy due to the squeeze of Zhan Chen. She took a moment to straighten her dress and then hurriedly left the room..


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her dodgy behaviour. A smile bloomed on the face of Su''er also, after seeing the appearance of Ling''er.


    "Su''er, congrattion. You are now a fifth stage of Meridian opening realm cultivator", Zhan Chen smiled at Su''er who was still in his embrace.


    "It is all thanks to young master", Su''er spoke with a happy smile on her face. Her hand circled around Zhan Chen''s waist as she tried to embrace Zhan Chen more tightly.


    Zhan Chen let her hold him as he could feel her emotion. Increasing one''s cultivation was the dream of most of the cultivator and Su''er was no exception. It would have taken another one and half year for her to reach the fifth stage Meridian opening realm but Zhan Chen managed to make it happen in a single night. She was now feeling grateful towards Zhan Chen and she was also happy because her man was the one who helped her in increasing her cultivation.


    "Young master Chen, are you inside?", a knock came from the door. Su''er hurriedly freed herself after she heard the knocking sounding from the outside of room.


    "Miss Shu, miss Min, pleasee in. Door is not closed", Zhan Chen spoke in a light voice.


    Two beauties came inside and a gentle fragrance came to room along with their entry. Kai Min was wearing an a violet coloured robe which was underlining her well developed body curves.


    Li Shu was wearing a long dress which was well fit to her lean yet beautiful figure. Zhan Chen smiled at both of them after they entered the room of Ling''er and Su''er.


    Li Shu blushed immediately after seeing the smiling face of Zhan Chen. An infatuated look appeared in her eyes as she started to steal nces at Zhan Chen. No matter how she looked, Zhan Chen seemed to had a perfect appearance in her eyes.


    The carved face of Zhan Chen, his tall body, sword like eyebrows and an unparallel handsome apperance made her little heart fluttered. "Miss Shu, I will feel embarassed, if you look at me that way", Zhan Chen teased Li Shu. Li Shu''s face reddened immediately after she heard Zhan Chen''s teasing.


    "Well, I heard both of you beauties are looking for me", Zhan Chen looked at Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Good morning, young master Chen", Kai Min greeted Zhan Chen.


    "Good morning, miss Min. How have you been?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min.


    "Young master, I am fine", Kai Min replied whe trying to avoid looking at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the shy look of Kai Min.


    "Young master Chen, can we talk in private?", Kai Min gathered her courage and looked at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked towards Su''er and Li Shu. "Young master, I am going to look for sister Ling''er", Su''er was sensible as she immediately proposed to go out.


    "Well, I wille to look for you after finishing the conversation with miss Min", Zhan Chen nodded towards Su''er.


    Su''er nodded her head and walked towards the door. Sister Su''er, wait. I am alsoing with you", Li Shu spoke and left the room with Su''er.


    "Miss Min, you can speak now. Have you decided on an answer to my proposal?", Zhan Chen directly came to the point after everyone left.


    Aplicated look shed through the eyes of Kai Min after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. She didn''t reply immediately. Zhan Chen also didn''t speak anything as he gave her time to organize her mind.


    "Young master Chen, I have no problem in agreeing to your proposal but can I request something? This is very important to me", Kai Min looked straight towards Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen smiled lightly after listening to her words. He had already heard the conversation between Li Shu and Kai Min. So, he understood her difficulty very well.


    "You are going to talk to me about your parents, right?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min.


    A surprised look appeared on the face of Kai Min after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. But she she quickly pulled out herself and nodded her head towards Zhan Chen because she really wanted to request something rted to her parents.


    "Speak your mind", Zhan Chen said calmly and looked towards Kai Min.


    "Young master Chen, your Zhan family currently has an ancestor, right?", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head as he had nothing to hide.


    A hopeful look appeared in the eyes of Kai Min after she saw the affirmative look of Zhan Chen. "How strong is he? Is he stronger than the Core Condensation realm experts?", Kai Min asked with an urgent look on her face.


    "It is true that our Zhan family ancestor can easily fight with an fifth stage expert but I can''t request his help in this matter", Zhan Chen shook his head.


    Kai Min felt her heart sinking after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. "Then young master, it is really hopeless. I can''t do anything to change my current condition", Kai Min spoke as a look of despair appeared in her eyes.


    "Miss Min, don''te to conclusion so quickly. It is indeed true that I don''t want to disturb my ancestor about this matter but I still have a solution in my mind. You only need a fifth stage expert toe forward and save your family from Kai n''s hand right?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min.


    The expression on the face of Kai Min changed after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. "Young master Chen, do you have a way?", Kailooked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I am going to ask senior Liu to do it. But you have to wait as she wouldn''t act unless Ruyane out of her seclusion", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min.


    "Thank you, young master Chen. You are really a sensible person. If you can do it for me, then I will not regret my decision", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen with a grateful look in her eyes. A different feeling slowly took root in her heart after she heard Zhan Chen''s confirmation.


    Kai Min knew her value was nothingpared to requesing a fifth stage expert to take action. A fifth stage expert considered as the peak stage expert in the provincial capital. Any powerful families of provincial capital has only one or two of such experts.


    Zhan Chen didn''t even flinch when he spoke about requesting the help of a fifth stage expert. Kai Min''s heart moved after she heard Zhan Chen''s confirmation. Her gaze turned more affectionate when she looked at Zhan Chen again.


    "Young master Chen, I am going then. I will remain grateful towards you no matter what will be the result of your action", Kai Min spoke.


    "Miss Min, please take care of yourself. See youter", Zhan Chen replied to Kai Min. Kai Min''s lips curled up a bit as her mood improved. She threw another nce at Zhan Chen before leaving the room.


    "A martial ascension realm expert is nothing. I can easily handle them after reaching core condensation realm", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He spread his soul consciousness and checked upon Shen Ruyan. "The elemental fluctuation is increasing around her room. Looks like she is going to have her breakthrough soon", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He decided to check upon Su''er and Ling''er but his jaw dropped after he heard what Li Shu was discussing with Ling''er. Su''er had a reddened face as she heard the conversation of both of the girls.


    "Damn it, how can these two little girls so openly discuss about my little brother", Zhan Chen murmured after hearing the discussion of Ling''er and Li Shu.


    "Sister Ling''er, are you sure that Young master Chen will not reject me. Afterall, I have such an ordinary appearance", Li Shu asked in a worried tone.


    Su''er could not stay out of the conversation after she heard the insecurity of Li Shu. "Miss Shu, be more confident on yourself. You are a talented cksmith despite being a girl. In this regard, you are far better than us who had no talent in anything", Su''er spoke.


    "Sister Su''er is right. Miss Shu you should not think so little about yourself. Moreover, young master is different than others. He will not judge you based upon your appearance", Ling''er added.


    "Then, I can also join both of you girls right?", Li Shu asked as an expectant look appeared in her eyes. Both Su''er and Ling''er blushed after hearing Li Shu''s words.


    "Miss Shu, it is not good to talk about a person when he is not around. Moreover, I have already told you that you can join us anytime", Zhan Chen''s voice interrupted the conversation of three young girls.


    Note:-


    1st stage expert- Essence gathering realm


    2nd stage expert- Meridian opening realm


    3rd stage expert- True essence realm


    4th stage expert- Core Condensation realm


    5th stage expert- Martial ascension realm

 Chapter 80 - Can We Really Do It?

    "Young master Chen", Li Shu''s little face reddened immediately after she heard the voice of Zhan Chen.


    "Ling''er, you are already a big girl. How can you talk about those things so brazenly?", Zhan Chen spoke as he chided Ling''er with a smile. Ling''er blushed after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Young master, I just....", Ling''er tried to exin but didn''t know what to speak. Her pretty face became red like an apple after she realised that her young master had heard everything.


    "Why are you being shy now? There is no problem if you talk about my little brother but make sure to check your surrounding first", Zhan Chen spoke as he gentlyb Ling''er''s hair with his fingers. Ling''er nodded her head as a sweet feeling slowly rose in her heart..


    Zhan Chen smiled towards Su''er and finally shifted his gaze to Li Shu. Li Shu felt shy when she felt Zhan Chen''s eyes on her. She couldn''t match her gaze with Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Miss Shu, do you like me?", Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Shu. Li Shu nodded her head without hesitation as her little heart pounded rapidly.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her response. "Are you sure?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu. Li Shu clenched her fists as a determined look appeared on her face.


    "Young master Chen, can we really do it? I mean can you ept me as your woman?", Li Shu asked while trying her best to match her gaze with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen became stunned for a moment after hearing her question. He had never expected that a girl like Li Shu would ask such a question.


    A panicked look appeared the eyes of Li Shu after she saw Zhan Chen not responding. "Young master Chen, I promise I will never trouble you in future. I am a cksmith, so I can take care of myself. I will never be a burden to you", Li Shu spoke hurriedly as she thought that Zhan Chen was hesitating.


    Zhan Chen felt like cursing himself after hearing her words. "Miss Shu, please don''t misunderstand. I just don''t know what to say", Zhan Chen looked at her with an apologetic look.


    A surprised look appeared in the face of Li Shu after hearing Zhan Chen''s reply. The panik look disappeared from her face as a expectant look surfaced in her eyes.


    "Then, young master Chen, can I really be...?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen. Her words were interrupted by the hand of Zhan Chen who ced his finger on the lips of Li Shu.


    "Miss Shu, you don''t have to speak anymore. You are my, Zhan Chen''s woman from now on", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu tenderly but his look was firm as he was serious about what he spoke.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know why a woman of a noble family would throw herself at him but he knew that the girl had her own difficulty and reason. He had no reason to reject such a girl who had already fallen for him since they met. Moreover, he had his soul peering art from which he could tell that Li Shu really liked him.


    This Soul peering art was a soul art which he had learned in his leisure time. The art had no other use than seeing through the intension of the other person. The art was specially effective if the opposite person was to be a female. Zhan Chen found the art interesting after he threw a look at it. His interest was piqued when he learned that the Soul peering art was developed by the Evil emperor himself.


    "Let''s go to Su''er and Ling''er''s room", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu. Li Shu nodded her head shyly as she threw a nce towards Ling''er and Su''er.


    "Are youfortable being with them?", Zhan Chen asked after they entered the room of Ling''er and Su''er. "I have no problem", Li Shu replied shyly.


    "Then, allow me to give you a rxing massage first. We can think of other things after your body be rxed", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Shu with a smile.


    Li Shu nodded her head shyly. "You girls also lie down with her. Let your young master give both of you girls a good massage", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er and Ling''er.


    Zhan Chen let them wear their clothes for the time being. He started with Li Shu and kneaded her shoulders first. Then he moved to her chest but didn''t massage her peaks. His hand came down to her upper belly after he was done with her chest. Li Shu felt incredibly good as her muscles felt rxed. Zhan Chen had expansive knowledge about the body parts of a female body. So, it was not difficult for him to make a girl''s body felt rxed.


    Li Shu felt heat rising in her body when Zhan Chen massaged her thighs. Her thighs were well developed and Zhan Chen sqeezed her meaty thighs time to time. He was not touching any sensitive part of Li Shu''s body but Li Shu was already wet due to his massage.


    "Mmmm~", Li Shu couldn''t stop herself from moaning when Zhan Chen massaged her feet. Zhan Chen gave simr massage to Su''er and Ling''er and both of the girls felt hot by his unintentional touch.


    "Girls, how are you feeling?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu, Ling''er and Su''er after finishing his massage on three of them.


    He was waiting for a reply but their response made his little dragon dance with joy. Lust was apprent on all three of the girl''s faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen with expectant look in their eyes.


    "Ok, I am thinking about activating some of your pleasure points. But, it seems like that is unnecessary at this point", Zhan Chen muttered with a smile.


    "Ling''er, Su''er, take off your clothes and help miss Shu do the same", Zhan Chen spoke. He undressed himself after speaking to the girls.


    Li Shu''s opened her mouth in surprise after seeing the proud dragon of Zhan Chen. It waved at her on its own after seeing her gaze on it. Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing her surprised expression.


    "Miss Shu, I will feel embarassed if you look at me like this", Zhan Chen chuckled. Before Li Shu could reply, he pulled her naked body to his embrace.


    He lifted up her chin and took her lips with his own. His tongue invaded her mouth easily as he found her slippery tongue easily. Both of their tongues entangled with each other as both of them took a taste of each other.


    Zhan Chen freed Li Shu after tasting up her fragrant saliva. He threw a greedy look at Li Shu''s face as he was not satisfied with only one kiss.


    Li Shu''s emotion rose as she looked at Zhan Chen with a misty look in her eyes. Zhan Chen took in her lips again and started to suck her tongue with his lips. His hands didn''t remain idle as he started to explore the softness of her skin.


    Zhan Chen freed her after tasting her lips once again. He pulled up both Ling''er and Su''er into his embrace as he shared a passionate kiss with each of them. Then he looked at Li Shu with burning eyes.


    "Miss Shu, are you ready?", Zhan Chen asked. Li Shu took a nce at Zhan Chen''s face. Her pretty face reddened further after he saw the look in Zhan Chen''s eyes. She shyly nodded her head and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself anymore. He pushed Li Shu to the bed and parted her legs. Her beautiful cave became fully exposed infront of his eyes.


    He stretched his hand and ced it on the little bus on the top of her sacred cave. Li Shu''s eyes misted uppletely as a sudden wave of pleasure assaulted her mind.


    "Nnnnnng~", Li Shu moaned as Zhan Chen started to rub his sacred treasure with his fingers. Her little sister started to drool as it couldn''t handle the intense rubbing of Zhan Chen.


    "Miss Shu, looks like you are prepared", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu. Li Shu avoided his gaze as she felt shy.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and squeezed her perky peaks for few times. Then he leaned down and ced his little brother on Li Shu''s sacred cave.


    Li Shu''s body shivered after Zhan Chen started to rub his little brother on her sacred cave. An intese amount of pleasure washed over her mind as she felt a different kind of sensation together.


    "Miss Shu, I am going in", Zhan Chen spoke and thursted his little brother inside her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Li Shu cried out as she felt a tearing paining from her lower body. "Miss Shu, it will be over soon", Zhan Chen spoke and touched some of the nerves around her sacred cave. Her pain reduced immediately after Zhan Chen massaged the area around her sacred cave.


    ''Ahhhhh~''


    ''Ahhhhh~''


    ''Ahhhhhh~'', Li Shu moaned as Zhan Chen started to thrust his dragon inside her cave.


    (To be continued...)

 Chapter 81 - An Excellent Partner

    Zhan Chen continued to thrust his little dragon inside the sacred cave of Li Shu. With every thrust of Zhan Chen, his dragon moved more deeper inside Li Shu''s cave.


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhh~, Li Shu continued to moan as Zhan Chen''s dragon did not stop pounding her even for a minute.


    "Ahhhh~young master Chen, something is wrong", Li Shu spoke as she felt something built up inside her lower region. It was almost like an urge to pee. So, Li Shu didn''t know what to do for a moment.


    "Don''t hold it up. Just let everythinge out", Zhan Chen spoke as he incresed the movement of his dragon.


    "Ahhhh~it ising", Li Shu moaned and released a stream of yin water from her sacred cave..


    Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in pleasure after getting a bath from Li Shu''s fragrant water. He nted a kiss on Li Shu''s lips and let her take a rest.


    He pulled both Ling''er and Su''er closer to him after letting Li Shu take a rest. He parted both of the girls legs and their sacred caves became fully exposed infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen put both of his hands on top of their sacred cave. Both Su''er and Ling''er''s body started to squirm after Zhan Chen started to rub his fingers on top of their sacred caves.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t resist the expectant look on both Ling''er and Su''er''s eyes. He leaned down and nted a kiss on both of their glossy lips.


    He pulled Su''er by her thighs and rubbed his little dragon on the entrance of her sacred cave. Her little sister was already wet. So, Zhan Chen didn''t made her waitt any longer. He thrusted his mighty dragon inside the cave of Su''er with a single thrust.


    "Ahhhh~", Su''er''s eyes misted over by the deep thrust of Zhan Chen. She continued to moan as Zhan Chen started to move his waist.


    Ahhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~, Su''er moaned as Zhan Chen continued to thrust his mighty dragon inside her cave. Li Shu blushed after seeing the appearance of Zhan Chen who was pounding Su''er very hard. Her little sister started to drool again as she continued to watch the intense deeds of Zhan Chen and Su''er.


    Li Shu threw a look at Ling''er and her Preet face reddened further. Ling''er was looking at Zhan Chen and rubbing her own sacred treasure. Her eyes were misty as she was looking at Zhan Chen unblinkingly.


    Something welled up inside Li Shu as she couldn''t control her own action. Her hand moved automatically and before she could think, she was also rubbing her sacred treasure.


    "You girls", Zhan Chen threw an evil grin at both Ling''er and Li Shu as he noticed what Li Shu and Ling''er was doing.


    "Move over here and lie down beside Su''er", Zhan Chen looked at both Ling''er and Li Shu. Both Ling''er and Li Shu nodded their heads an they did what Zhan Chen had said. Li Shu was slightly clumsy but she moved to Su''er''s left after seeing Ling''er moving to the right of Su''er.


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~'', Su''er continued to moan as Zhan Chen didn''t stop thrusting his dragon.


    "Ahhhh~young master", Su''er moaned as Zhan thrusted his dragon more deeper into her cave. Her eyes misted over by the sudden increase in intensity by Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, it ising", Su''er and released her yin water on Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen kept his dragon inside her cave for a moment as he was busy in pleasuring both Li Shu and Ling''er by both his hands.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from Su''er''s cave and inserted it inside the cave of Ling''er. Su''er moved out and let Li Shu to get closer to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and started to rub the little sister of Li Shu again. His dragon was busy in ying inside the cave of Ling''er.


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Mmm~


    Mmmmm~


    Mmmmm~'', two soul stirring moans came out from both of the girls as Zhan Chen continued to please both of the girls simultaneously.


    "Young master, please do it slow", Ling''er begged as her mind felt lighter by every thrust of Zhan Chen. She couldn''t control herself after a minute and let out her yin liquid.


    Zhan Chen chuckled and nted a kiss on Ling''er''s lips. Then he let her go and moved over to Li Shu.


    He threw a fiery look at Li Shu and took in her pretty lips. Their lips entangled as Zhan Chen agressively tasted the fragrant juice of her mouth.


    "Miss Shu, please turn over and show your back towards me", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Shu''s face becamepletely reddened but she still obediently turned over and exposed her alluring back to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen slid his hand through her back as he traced the outline of her alluring curves. His hand finally moved over to her b.u.t.t.o.c.k. He gave her perky hips a squeeze and massaged the pair of her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s with her hands.


    Li Shu did not have prominent chestpared to the other girls but her perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s was one of the best that Zhan Chen had seen.


    Zhan Chen kneaded her perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s as much as he liked. Then he rubbed the head of his dragon on top of her cave entrance. Li Shu let out some water drops as she felt extremely hot by Zhan Chen''s teasing.


    He moved her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.son her own and took in Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself any longer. He thrusted his dragon inside her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Li Shu let out a pleasure filled moan as Zhan Chen thrusted her sacred cave from her back. Zhan Chen continued to move fiercely as Li Shu''s seductive moan filled the entire surrounding.


    Zhan Chen pulled her up by her waist and let her stood on by four of her limbs. He stood up on top of the bed and lowered his body to prate her from behind.


    Zhan Chen ced both of his hands on Li Shu''s back and started to thrust his dragon more fiercely.


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~", Li Shu moaned as she felt like swimming in the cloud. Su''er and Ling''er blushed as they looked at the moving figure of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master is like a bull now~", Ling''er spoke with a hushed voice. Su''er also blushed and nodded her head. She felt hot all over her body again after seeing the agressive posture of Zhan Chen.


    "Sister Su''er, can I tell young master to do that with me", Ling''er spoke. Su''er didn''t reply but a expression full of desire appeared in her eyes.


    Ahhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~, Li Shu continued to moan as Zhan Chen rode her back agressively. He felt more pleased by the bouncyness he was feeling from her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.


    He changed his position again and stood up at the side of the bed. He pulled Li Shu closer and started to pund her while standing on the floor.


    "Pah~ Pah~ Pah~", the sound of collision of flesh rang out as Zhan Chen continued to pound Li Shu from her back. He felt surprised by the tolerance of Li Shu''s body. Besides Shen Ruyan, she was the only one who could handle his thrusting for more than five minutes.


    "Ahhhh~ it ising again", Li Shu moaned. Zhan Chen piunded her cave more fiercely after hearing her seductive moan. A stream of water burst out from her sacred cave as Zhan Chen''s dragon bathed by her fragrant water.Zhan Chen didn''t stop and continued to thrust his dragon inside Li Shu''s cave.


    "Make sure to don''t drop my yang essence. I am releasing it now", Zhan Chen spoke and thrusted his dragon more fiercely inside Li Shu''s cave.


    A good load of yang liquid came out from his dragon as he deposited his yang liquid inside Li Shu''s sacred cave. Li Shu tried to hold his yang energy but her attempt was unsessful.A small stream of whitish liquid came out from her cave after Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon.


    She turned over after Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon. She wiped Zhan Chen''s yang essence with her fingers and tried to deposit inside her cave again.


    "Sister Shu, don''t do it. You can put your fingers inside your mouth. It tastes good", Ling''er spoke.


    Li Shu blushed but still did ording to the suggestion of Ling''er. She put in her fingers insider her mouth and had a taste of Zhan Chen''s yang liquid.


    "Hmmm, it really tastes good", she murmured. She threw a look at Zhan Chen but her pretty face bacame reddened further after seeing the little brother of Zhan Chen. It was still raising it''s proudly even after it spurted that much of liquid inside her cave.


    Zhan Chen felt amused by the exchange of words between Ling''er and Li Shu. "She is an excellent girl", Zhan Chen murmured as he watched what Li Shu was doing.

 Chapter 82 - World Is Wide, Enemies Are Everywhere

    Red dusk city, a mid-sized city which was located at the border of the Shredded mountain province. The city was bustling as a normal city would and beyond it lied the great Shredded mountain which was known as one of the most famous danger zone of eastern region.


    Dong family mansion which was renowned in the Red dusk city was currently upied by a group of powerful looking people. Dong Liu who was the patriarch of Dong family was currently looking reverently towards the group of people who were sitting inside the guest hall of the Dong family mansion.


    "Dong family patriarch, you have done well. You can take this Meridian nourishing pill aspensation", a middle aged man from the group of seated people took out a small pill bottle and threw it towards Dong Liu.


    "Many thanks senior", Dong Liu bowed towards the middle aged man who was one of the group of people who were currently upying the guest hall of Dong family.


    "Ok, you may take your leave. Make sure to inform us once youe in contact with the people from Firecloud treasure pavilion", the middle aged man spoke.


    "Yes senior, I will inform you as soon as I get any news about Firecloud treasure pavilion", Dong Liu spoke and left the hall.. The guest hall of Dong family turned silent after Dong Liu left the room.


    "Young master Bai, what is the need to stay in this remote city? We can directly go and capture that girl of Shen family", the middle aged man who was talking with Dong Liu earlier spoke to the handsome looking young man who was sitting next to him.


    The young man did not reply immediately as if the question of the middle aged man was nothing to him. He had a leisurely look in his face as he turned to look at the middle aged man.


    A small smile appeared in his handsome face after he faced the middle-aged man. "Protector Qian, you are powerful but this kind of thing requires more brain than power. Shen Ruyan, that little bitch of Shen family has continuously rejected elder brother''s proposal and left elder brother in an embarassed position. This time, there shouldn''t be any mistake. We will capture that little bitch and present her to elder brother", the handsome looking young man said with a chilling look in his face.


    The middle aged man who was called protector Qian trembled after he saw the determined face of the handsome looking young man. "That girl of Shen family has done for. Her continuous refusal has finally angered the little devil of my Huo n", protector Qian thought to himself.


    ---------------


    "Su''er, share the Yin nourishing technique with miss Shu. It will be best if she can cultivate now", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er.


    Su''er nodded her head and took out the paper where the Yin nourishing technique was written. A confused look appeared in the eyes of Li Shu but she still took the paper from Su''er''s hand.


    A look of wonder appeared on her face after she looked through the Yin nourishing technique. "Amazing", Li Shu murmured while reading the content of the paper.


    She took some time to read through the paper. Zhan Chen waited patiently for Li Shu to finish reading the technique. "Young master Chen, can I cultivate this technique?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with an excited look on her beautiful face.


    "Of course, you can cultivate it as you are one of my woman now", Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Shu. Li Shu blushed after hearing what han Chen was addressing her.


    "Then, can my cultivation also increase after I start practicing it?", Li Shu looked at Zhan Chen with anticipation.


    "You will know after you start practicing the technique", Zhan Chen replied with a chuckle.


    "Then, when should I start cultivating? You still seems to be strong there", Li Shu pointed at Zhan Chen''s little brother with her eyes.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing the words of Li Shu. His heart felt warmed after he heard her concerned words. "Don''t worry about it. There is still Ling''er and Su''er", Zhan Chen replied to Li Shu.


    "You better start practicing the technique now. The efficacy of Yang essence will start to decrease if you dy", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Shu nodded her head and sat crosslegged in a corner. She closed her eyes and started her cultivation ording to the Yin nourishing technique.


    Zhan Chen felt a pair of greedy eyes staring at his little brother. He chuckled after seeing the person with greedy eyes. "Ling''er, what are you thinking?", Zhan Chen smiled at Ling''er.


    Ling''er''s pretty cheeks became reddened immediately after she heard the teasing words of Zhan Chen. "Young master, it is our turn to please you", Su''er looked at Zhan Chen with blushing. She was more direct than Ling''er. So, Zhan Chen didn''t feel any surprise after hearing Su''er''s words.


    "Come then", he spoke and pulled Ling''er and Su''er to his arms. He nted a passionate kiss on Su''er''s lips. Then moved to taste the fragrant saliva of Ling''er.


    His tongue chased after the little tongue of Ling''er and became entangled with it after finding her sleeky tongue. His hands didn''t remain idle as they moved towards the slim backs of Ling''er and Su''er.


    The skin on their backs were smooth. Zhan Chen continued to feel the smoothness of their skins by his hands. His hands moved to the perky mounds on their backs and he started to massage them with both of his hands.


    "Mmmmm~", both of the girls moaned as Chen massaged their perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. "You girls seems to be eager today", Zhan Chen threw a teasing nce at both Ling''er and Su''er.


    "Young master, please sit down on the bed. Let us sisters please you this time" Su''er spoke. Ling''er blushed but she also threw an expectant nce at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat down on the bed. Both Ling''er and Su''er knelt down and put their hands on Zhan Chen''s little brother.


    Zhan Chen''s little brother trembled as it felt the smoothness of both Ling''er and Su''er''s hands. Both of the girls started to stroke his dragon and Zhan Chen felt a new kind of sensationing his lower region.


    Su''er brought her pretty mouth closer and took in his dragon. Ling''er pulled out his hand as she left her sister taste Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Su''er started to move her mouth back and forth as an erotic dound came out from her mouth.


    Zhan Chen felt a good amount of pleasure by the care of Su''er. He ced his hands on the both side of bed and sat in a more rxing posture.


    A new sensation came from his little brother when he was looking away from a moment. He again looked at both of the girls and his mind blown away. Su''er had pulled out his dragon from her mouth and gave it inside the mouth of Ling''er. It was Ling''er who was taking care of his dragon now.


    Su''er''s hand was still on Zhan Chen''s dragon as was pushing his dragon into Ling''er''s mouth. She didn''t let Ling''er continue longer as she once again took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen felt overwhelming with pleasure as two kinds of sweet saliva covered his dragon. His dragon became more excited by this new technique of Su''er.


    Su''er felt more pleased after she saw the look of pleasure in Zhan Chen''s eyes. She increased her intensity as Zhan Chen''s dragon traveled more deeper inside her mouth.


    "Slurp, slurp, slurp", Su''er moved her head back and forth and when Zhan Chen was feeling the highest pleasure, she pulled out his dragon from her mouth.


    Ling''er''s mouth took over and the pleasing sensation got more intense after Ling''er took in his dragon. Ling''er tied to swallow his long rod in one gulp. Her little mouth couldn''t take in his entire dragon but she still took almost two third of it.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t sit still anymore. He stretched his hand and ced it on the backhead of Ling''er. He hold her hair and pushed her head more deeper towards his dragon.


    He helped Ling''er in moving her head back and forth and a peak pleasure came to his little dragon. His dragon throbbed by the intense activity going on around it.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his hand from Ling''er''s head after some moments. Ling''er took in long breathes to take air and threw a charming nce at Zhan Chen after seeing his pleased expression.


    Zhan Chen gave his dragon to Su''er next and did the same thing he did with Ling''er. His dragon moved more deeper inside Su''er''s mouth and he had to take breathes to calm down his excited nerves.


    This kind of pleasure was too intense and the pleasure was almost double when there were two pretty girls to cooperate with your desire.


    "Stand up and sit on my thighs", Zhan Chen spoke to Su''er and Ling''er. Both of the girls nodded their heads and sat on Zhan Chen''s thighs.


    (To be continued...)

 Chapter 83 - Mind Blowing Dragon Transformation Technique

    "Sit here and show your back towards me", Zhan Chen spoke after both Su''er and Ling''er stood up. A confused look appeared in the eyes of both of the girls but they still followed after the instruction of Zhan Chen. Ling''er sat on his right thigh while Su''er upied his left thigh. Their pretty backs faced towards Zhan Chen''s little brother.


    Zhan Chen controlled the impulse of his little brother and nted a kiss on Su''er''s pretty neck. He stretched his left hand and ced it on Su''er''s sacred cave. He inserted a finger inside Su''er''s cave and started do a back and forth movement with his finger. He did the same with Ling''er and inserted a finger inside her sacred cave.


    ''Ahhhhh~''


    ''Mmmmm~'', both Ling''er and Su''er started to moan as Zhan Chen continued to please both Ling''er and Su''er with his finger.


    He nted kiss on Ling''er''s neck and licked her pretty ear lobe. Ling''er body heated up quickly by the actions that Zhan Chen was doing with her..


    Su''er'' and Ling''er''s sacred caves moistened up quickly by the action of Zhan Chen. "It seems like both of you girls are ready to go again", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face.


    "Who is going first?", Zhan Chen asked both Su''er and Ling''er. Both Su''er and Ling''er blushed and quickly exchanged nces with each other.


    "Young master, let sister Su''er be the first", Ling''er spoke. "Does not matter. Your turn wille up soon", Zhan Chen spoke to Ling''er and rubbed his finger on Ling''er''s sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Ling''er moaned lovingly after Zhan Chen rubbed her little sister again. Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her pretty neck and pushed her body gently with his hand.


    Ling''er understood and made way for Su''er. Zhan Chen nted a kiss on Su''er''s neck and lifted up her body with both of his hands. Then he pointed his dragon towards her little sister and ced her on top of his dragon.


    His dragon prated deep inside Su''er''s cave. Su''er moaned as the pration was too intense for her. Zhan Chen was still holding her by her waist as he helped her body in moving up and down.


    Ling''er who was watching the scene from nearby blushed as she had never seen her young master doing such intense things with them. First that bull like thing with miss Shu and now this with her sister Su''er. Ling''er felt amazed by the talent of her young master.


    Zhan Chen smiled at Ling''er after noticing her charming expression on him. Ling''er blushed again as she looked forward to save herself from embarassment.


    ''Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~'', Su''er moaned as her body was being prated in air. Zhan Chen was still in the sitting position and moving her body in air. His hand was holding her body and he was dropping her up and down on his dragon.


    With his each downward movement, his dragon was prating deep inside Su''er''s cave.


    Su''er face was towards Ling''er and her back was still facing Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was holding her body in the air and dropping it on his dragon as he wished.


    Ahhhh~


    Mmmmm~


    Ahhhhhhh~'', Su''er''s mind grew nk after a minute. There was only pleasure and ecstasying from herher region.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop thrusting his dragon inside her and her little sister couldn''t handle his dragon after few minutes of intense thrusting.


    "Young master, it ising~", Su''er moaned as her yin water built up inside her cave. With another few thursts of Zhan Chen, she released her yin water in a bursting wave.


    Zhan Chen pulled her body close to his chest and let her rest for a minute in his embrace. His dragon was still standing proudly even after such intense exercise between it and Su''er.


    Zhan Chen felt a greedy look on his little brother. He looked over and saw Su''er was watching his little brother without blinking her pretty eyes.


    "Ling''er", Zhan Chenughed at the lovely girl who was looking at his mighty dragon. "Young master, why it is growing everyday?", Ling''er blinked her eyes and asked.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing the curious tone of Ling''er. He knew she was saying the truth as his dragon was increasing in size after being drenched by the yin water of so many girls.


    "Come over first. Put it inside your mouth and I will tell you why it is", Zhan Chen smiled towards Ling''er.


    Ling''er nodded her head and knelt down infront of him. Then she struck out her tongue and take a lick of his little brother.


    She licked his dragon almost over a minute. Her curious eyes were falling upon Zhan Chen from time to time. "Ok, stop looking at me like that. Let me show you a thing. So that, you can understand", Zhan Chen chuckled.


    He freed his dragon from Ling''er''s hand and concentrated his focus on his little brother. With a will of his mind, his dragon trembled and veins started to bulge on its body. Then as if someone was peaking a fight with his dragon, it started to increase in size and length.


    Ling''er''s mouth became wide open after she saw what was happening infront of his eyes. Zhan Chen''s dragon was now much longerpared to its previous self. It''s girth had also increased as it was appearing mightierpared to before.


    Ling''er gulped down her saliva audibly as such an inconceivable thing happened infront of her eyes. Zhan Chen felt pleased after seeing her cute appearance.


    "I can''t control my size proficiently now. But it can be done with few practices. In future, I can make it double in size by controlling that region of my body", Zhan Chen exined to Ling''er.


    He also found it inconceivable when he read about this technique. But practicing Myriad transformation technique along with Celestial Yin Yang sutra could make this impossible looking thing possible. Zhan Chenmended evil emperor''s skill after reading such a technique. It is said that at his peak, evil emperor had even managed to dual cultivate with a giant princess.


    With myriad transformation technique, one could control his body size and shape and when added with such dragon transformation skill, it could enable a person to dual cultivate with almost every girls in this world.


    "Ling''er, why are you dazing out? take it in your mouth", Zhan Chen smiled towards Ling''er. Ling''er nodded her head and took in his enraged dragon.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", she moved her head back and forth and started to please the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen. "Body transformation technique is not that simple as I have thought. After fifth level it crossed the level of mortal bound and became a technique of those legendary existences", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He noticed Su''er''s gaze on him and she also had a dazed appearance after seeing his increased size. She had already sat up from her lying position and looking at his mighty dragon.


    "Su''er, do you want to join Ling''er?", Zhan Chen smiled towards Su''er. Su''er blushed but still nodded her head. There were anticipation visible in her pretty looking eyes.


    "Slurp, slurp, slurp", Ling''er continued to move her head back and forth as she took in the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen. Her mouth looked like bloating as she was taking in the enraged dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Su''er knelt beside her and Ling''er pushed Zhan Chen''s mighty dragon into her mouth. Zhan Chen ft a wave of pleasure as both of the girls continued to please him with their mouths.


    "Ling''er, do you want to cultivate with it?", Zhan Chen pointed at his little brother. He was ready to decrease his size if Ling''er found the size of his dragon ufortable. But contrary to his thinking, Ling''er nodded her head with anticipation.


    She had some hesitation but she still want to took in the dragon of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen''s evil fire surged after seeing her expression.


    "Su''er, wait a bit. Let Ling''er cultivate with me", Zhan Chen spoke to Su''er. He turned over Ling''er and picked up by her waist. Then like Su''er, he make her sit on top of his dragon.


    He slowly released her slim body and Zhan Chen''s dragon prated inside the sacred cave of Ling''er.


    "Ahhhhh~ So deep", Ling''er cried out as her eyes moistened. It felt like if her little sister was going to burst apart. "You are still not ready for this size", Zhan Chen murmured and reduced his size by a finger. His girth also decreased but it was still greater than his previous size.


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhh~'', Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen continued to drop her body on his mighty dragon.


    "Young master, please stop. It is too deep", Ling''er cried out after half an minute. "Rx", Zhan Chen reverted his dragon to its previous shape after she heard Ling''er''s voice. He was just experimenting. So, he wouldn''t let his girls suffer due to it. Su''er and Ling''er were still tender. They could slowly adapt to his original size.


    Ling''er felt disappointed but she knew she couldn''t take on that size. She adjusted herself to the recent size of Zhan Chen as her mind again clouded by pleasure.


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~'', Ling''er moaned and released her yin water within few minutes. The previous experience was too intense for her little sister. She couldst only half of her previous time.


    "Su''er take it inside your mouth. I will release my yang essence inside you", Zhan Chen spoke and freed his dragon from Ling''er''s cave.

 Chapter 84 - Visiting The Xu Family

    Su''er nodded her head happily and took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", she started to move her mouth back and forth as Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in pleasure.


    Zhan Chen caressed the bare body of Ling''er with his hand who was still resting in his embrace. He could see that Ling''er still want to continue but her body wouldn''t support her desire. Her desire was on her own but it was also due to his unsatisfied little brother. She was concerned about him and wanted to please him like he did to her.


    Zhan Chen could only appreciate her feeling for him. He didn''t know theplexity of rtionship but with every cultivation season his bond with Ling''er and Su''er was increasing. There was also Li Shu who was practicing in a corner. Zhan Chen looked at her and nodded her head after seeing her concentration.


    A look of determination appeared in Zhan Chen''s eyes as he thought about his girls.. "I can only continue to be stronger. My path is so that I can''t promise anything to you and can''t be you sole man. But I promise, I will make you girls the happiest woman of this world", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He threw a tender gaze at Su''er who was still doing her best to please his little brother. She threw a charming nce at him after noticing Zhan Chen''s gaze on her.


    Zhan Chen took in a breath to control himself after Su''er increased her intensity. She stretched out her tongue and took a full swipe around his dragon while moving her head back and forth.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in pleasure by the skillful service of Su''er. "Su''er, you little witch! you are bing more skillful", Zhan Chen smiled at Su''er.


    Su''er smiled but still didn''t release his dragon. She was doing her best to please the little brother of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen let her do as she pleased and enjoyed her care in a leisurely manner. The capability of his little brother was increasing everyday and he couldn''t do anything for the amount of time it was taking to be satisfied.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp!", Su''er moved her head and continued to use her mouth to please his dragon. Zhan Chen reached his limit after few minutes. He moved Ling''er''s body to the bed. Then stretched his hand and pushed Su''er''s head more towards his little dragon. His dragon entered her mouthpletely and hit her throat.


    Zhan Chen moved her head back and forth slightly. Then with a single burst, he released his yang liquid inside Su''er''s mouth.


    "Go and cultivate. Your young miss would havee out of her seclusion by the time you finish your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke to Su''er. Su''er nodded her head and threw a look at Ling''er. Then she moved to a different corner for cultivating the Yin nourishing technique.


    "Young master, why it is still like this?", Ling''er pointed towards Zhan Chen''s little brother. Zhan Chen''s dragon was still bursting with energy even after so much activities, they had done. Ling''er felt worried for Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t worry about it. Let me give you a kiss first. Then we can leave this room to Su''er and miss Shu", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Ling''er blushed but still came closer to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen cupped her face with both of his hands and ced his lips on Ling''er''s lips. Both of their lips became entangled with each other as Zhan Chen and Ling''er shared a passionate kiss with each other.


    "Ling''er, dress up. We are going out of your room", Zhan Chen spoke while caressing the lovely cheeks of Ling''er. Ling''er nodded her head with a beautiful smile on her face.


    Zhan Chen took back his hand from her cheeks and moved out from the bed. He picked up his clothes and put them on.


    He waited for Ling''er to dress up fully. Then he hold her hand and went out of the room. His eyes moved towards the room where Shen Ruyan was cultivating. Ling''er also looked towards the room where her young miss was cultivating.


    "Young master, is everything okay with young miss?", Ling''er asked as she looked towards the room of Shen Ruyan. The elemental fluctuation had rose from its previous level and one could feel the increasing amount of heaven and earth energy around the room of Shen Ruyan.


    "She is alright. Her cultivation is being supressed for a longer period. So, she shouldn''t face any difficulty in forming her core", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He spread his soul consciousness towards Shen Ruyan''s room and nodded his head after observing her condition. "She will probably take another three to four hours", Zhan Chen murmured.


    "Ling''er, I am nning to visit the Xu family. Will youe with me?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er. Ling''er nodded her head immediately as she didn''t want to miss the chance to go out with her young master.


    "Let''s go then", Zhan Chen spoke. Ling''er nodded her head and went with Zhan Chen towards the stairs.Crowd was bustling in the Firecloud treasure pavilion. Zhan Chen avoided the crowd and led Ling''er out of Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    "Greetings young master Chen, greetings miss Ling", the guards of Firecloud treasure pavilion bowed after seeing Zhan Chen and Ling''er.


    "Can you arrange a carraige for us?", Zhan Chen looked towards the guards infront of him.


    "Yes young master, you can use a carraige of our Firecloud treasure pavilion", a guard replied respectfully.


    "Prepare the carraige then. We will use it to visit the Xu family", Zhan Chen spoke. One of the guards bowed and went to arrange a carraige.


    Zhan Chen and Ling''er did not have to wait longer as the guard returned with a hose drawn carraige after ten minutes. He was driving a beautiful looking carraige which had the signia of Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    Two sturdy looking horses were pulling the carraige of Firecloud treasure pavilion. Zhan Chen let Ling''er rode the carraige first. Then he rode the carriage himself. "Take us to the Xu family", Zhan Chen spoke to the guard of Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    -------------


    Xu family was located in the eastern side of Red cloud city.As one of the most powerful families of Red cloud kingdom, it had its own power and prestige.


    Zhan family was a family of generals, Gu family was a family of ministers, Lin family was famous for their spirit beasts and as for Xu family, they were famous for their business skill. Xu family business had spread its roots all over the Red cloud kingdom and they had connection with numerous other kingdoms.


    Currently inside the Xu family, a fatty was scolding some of the managers of the Xu family business. His spit was flying everywhere but no one was raising a singleint against him.


    "Elder Chao, you are assigned with catching a spirit tiger from Shadow forest. Yet, you couldn''t do this even after a month. Tell me, are you taking my words seriously at all. If all of you behave like this, then how can my Xu family rise from its current position", the fatty roared out in a furious voice. The people infront of him had lowered their heads as they didn''t have any answer for the furious looking fatty.


    "Young master, may I enter?", a beautiful looking maid asked from the door. A frown appeared on the face of fatty but he still said, "Enter".


    The beautiful looking maid came inside and walked towards the ce where fatty was sitting.


    "Su An, what is it? I have told you not disturb me in this period", fatty looked towards the beautiful looking maid.


    "Young master, please forgive me. I know you are busy but it is young master Chen of Zhan family who hase to visit you. I thought you will scold me if I will not infrom you", the maid spoke.


    "What, big brother Chen hase?When did he arrived here?", fatty stood up from her leisure seat and looked towards Su An. The four people who were being scolded by the fatty rxed slightly after seeing the anxious looking fatty.


    "He has arrived just ten minutes ago. Miss Ling of Firecloud treasure pavilion has alsoe with him. They are currently sitting inside the guest hall", Su An informed.


    "Ok, four of you can leave. We will talkter. I am going to visit big brother", fatty spoke and hurriedly left the hall. Su An followed after the fatty as both of them walked towards the guest hall.


    The fatty was no other than Xu Wenhong who was the young master of Xu family. He forgot about what he was doing and hurriedly towards the guest hall to meet Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen saw Xu Wenhong with his soul consciousness and a smile appeared on his face after seeing him running towards the guest hall.


    "Fatty has not changed. I hope he could eat less. Otherwise, he will slowly turn to a pig due to the progress he is making with his body", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Big brother", Xu Wenhong called out after reaching the guest hall. There was a big smile on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 85 - Making An Arrangement

    Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing Xu Wenhong. "Fatty, I have always told you to eat less. At the rate you are going, you will never get a girl for yourself", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face.


    "Big brother, you are wrong in this matter. Who said I can''t get a girl for myself. Look at Su An. She has already fallen for me", Xu Wenhong proudly proimed.


    Su An who was following after Xu Wenhong blushed after hearing the shameless words of fatty. Fatty stretched his hand and pulled her closer to him.


    Su An''s cheeks reddened after fatty pulled her into a bear hug. But she still felt joy because the recognition of Xu Wenhong. She was serving in the Xu family since childhood.. She, Zhan Chen and Xu Wenhong, all of them were of same age. Zhan Chen had outstanding appearance and he belonged to a family of generals. So, she never had thought anything about him.


    But for fatty, it was different. Even her parents didn''t care for her as much Xu Wenhong cared for her. In the outside, fatty loved to scold her. But inside, he always spoiled her as much he could. Su An couldn''t help but gradually fallen for Xu Wenhong.


    "Congrattion fatty, you have finally managed to impress Su An", Zhan Chen smiled towards both Su An and Xu Wenhong.


    "Su An, take this. It is a gift from me for recognising fatty. Initially I have prepared it for fatty but your are more capable than him in cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke and took out a Marrow nourishing spirit liquid bottle.


    "Young master Chen, please don''t do this. How can I take his portion?", Su An immediately rejected after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen could only chuckle after seeing Su An''s expression.


    "Su An, what is this? ept it and thank big brother properly", Xu Wenhong chided Su An.


    "I am sorry, young master", Su An aplogized timidly. Zhan Chen shook his head and gave the Marrow nourishing spirit liquid bottle to Su An.


    "Pour the content of the bottle inside a bath tub and stay inside the bathtub for an hour. This liquid will strengthen your bone marrow and make your body more suitable for cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke to Su An. Su An nodded her head and thanked Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings miss Ling, sorry for not greeting you earlier", Xu Wenhong bowed his head slightly towards Ling''er.


    "Greetings, young master Wenhong", Ling''er also greeted back. "Ok, you two girls can talk with each other. Let us brothers alone", Zhan Chen smiled towards Su''er and Su An.


    Ling''er understood his meaning and went to Su An. Both of the girls left the room together. Zhan Chen smiled towards Xu Wenhong after both of the girls left.


    "Fatty, how have you been?", Zhan Chen looked towards Xu Wenhong.


    "Big brother, I am fine but there is lots of works to do. So, I have not gone to see you after your Zhan family''s war with Gu family", Xu Wenhong replied.


    An excited look appeared in his beady eyes as he recalled the war between Gu family and Zhan family. "Big brother, you are amazing. You managed to kill so many warriors of the Gu family", Xu Wenhong blurted out excitedly. Zhan Chen could only smile as fatty was overly excited about dome minor killings.


    "Fatty, where is uncle Xu and aunt Xu? I have not seen them for a while", Zhan Chen asked Xu Wenhong.


    "Father and mother has gone to the Blue rock kingdom. The birthday ceremony of my maternal grandfather is in few days. So, they are there to congratte that undying old man", Xu Wenhong spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head in understanding. But there was also another thing that could not escape his eyes. It was like s test for Xu Wenhong to manage the entire business of Xu n. They wanted to give experience to Xu Wenhong in their absense.


    "Fatty, I wouldn''t havee to see you if it is not urgent. I am leaving the Red cloud kingdom for a while. So, you need to look after my Zhan family in my ce", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Big brother, are you going to join the Grand sectpetition?", Xu Wenhong threw a curious look at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head. Fatty was always bright. So, it was no surprise for him that fatty guessed his thoughts.


    "Big brother, I know you have managed to defeat Gu family warriors. But, can you handle those monsters of centralnd?", Xu Wenhong asked worriedly. He knew the entire continent was gearing up for arge gathering. Every scions of top ns were preparing for the uing Grand sectpetition. Some were aiming to join the topmost sects while some were nning to join the dragon guards of imperial family. So, thepetition would be very grand andpetitive in nature. Xu Wenhong felt worried for Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen was only sixteen and his cultivation was still sub-parapred to the other geniuses.


    "You don''t need to worry about it. Some young boys and girls who have yet to experience the world can''tpete with me even if they are given another hundred years", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile. Xu Wenhong felt dazed but the boastful words of Zhan Chen somehow felt natural to him. As if Zhan Chen was merely stating some facts that are ought to happen.


    "Good luck then, big brother. What are you nning for your Zhan family?", Xu Wenhong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    A thoughtful look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after he heard the question of Xu Wenhong. This was a question about which he had not decided anything until now. Their Zhan family was a family of generals. So, they had no other expertise in other fields. Now that, he had decided to cut rtionship with the royal family, he had to decide some other work for his Zhan family.


    "Big brother, how about cooperating with my Xu family?", fatty interrupted the thought of Zhan Chen as he looked at Zhan Chen with shiny eyes.


    "Cooperating with your family?", Zhan Chen felt confused.


    "Big brother, I have thought of a very good idea. Let me exin it for you", Xu Wenhong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and turned his gaze towards fatty.


    "Your Zhan family is the strongest if we exclude the royal family. The soldiers who followed after father and uncles will leave the royal army as they are more loyal towards your Zhan family. Thus, your Zhan family will have arge number of experts under you", Xu Wenhong looked at Zhan Chen with excitement in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen also felt interested after hearing Xu Wenhong''s exnation. "Tell it already. What have you thought?", he looked at Xu Wenhong.


    "I am nning to use the power of Zhan family experts for long distance transportation of goods. Moreover, there is also the business of spirit beasts. If your Zhan family agrees to my proposal, then I can make a new business establishment and make your Zhan family a part of it", Xu Wenhong exined with excitement in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head after thinking for a while."I will talk to eldest uncle about it. You can make your arrangement aseldest uncle will not deny anything I will propose", Zhan Chen said. Xu Wenhong nodded his head in excitement. His look was like as if a greedy bear found his best honeb.


    "Big brother, you can rest assure. I will make the arrangements properly", Xu Wenhong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen bade farewell to fatty Xu after speaking with him for a while. He called back Ling''er andsat with her in the horse-drawn carriage ofFirecloud treasure pavilion.


    Their carraige returned to the Firecloud treasure pavilion in half an hour. Zhan Chen greeted the middle aged manager and climbed the stairs.


    He spread his soul consciousness and checked the condition of his girls. Shen Ruyan was still cultivating and Su''er andi Shu was also doing the same.


    "Ruyan is going to take another two hours. I am not nning to cultivate in this period. Li Shu''s yin energy is insufficient to have a go at breakthrough. So, I can only wait for her to breakthrough", Zhan Chen looked towards the room of Shen Ruyan.


    "Young master, what are you nning to do now?", Ling''er asked Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen caressed her silky hair as a thoughtful look appeared on his face.


    "Let''s concoct some pills in the mean time. Ling''er I need you to help me in fetching the materials", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er. Ling''er nodded her head with a smile as she always felt joy when her young master needed her help


    "Fetch me a pen and paper. I will write down a list", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er. Ling''er nodded her head and walked out.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 86 - Alone With Linger

    "I need to have a good chat with eldest uncle before leaving the Red cloud kingdom. There is also the matter of royal family. I need to see the attitude of eldest uncle, second uncle and father towards this matter", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He didn''t have to wait long as Ling''er got back after few minutes. "Young master, take these", she stretched her hand and gave the pen and paper to Zhan Chen.


    "Thanks for your good work", Zhan Chen spoke after taking the pen and paper. A sweet smile appeared on the face of Ling''er after she heard Zhan Chen''s praise..


    She looked towards Zhan Chen who had already started to write down the name of ingredients. Zhan Chen was quick with his hand as he wote down the name of different ingredients within few minutes.


    "Yang bone grass, Purple lotus leaf, Spirit bamboo shoot, these are grade three ingredients which are avable in the Firecloud treasure pavilion. You only need to speak to the manager and she will give you the ingredients", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er.


    Ling''er nodded her head towards Zhan Chen after hearing his words. She took a look at the paper and a confused expression appeared on her beautifulface.


    "Young master, what are these ingredients? I have never heard of these spirit herbs despite staying in our Firecloud treasure pavilion for so long", Ling''er pointed towards the name of spirit herbs which were written in the lower part of the paper.


    "This is the real problem. These are the name of some soul nourishing herbs. I have an urgent requirement for it. Give it to the manager and see if she can arrange any of it within these few days", Zhan Chen replied to Ling''er.


    He needed Soul nourishing herbs for concocting a soul nourishing pill for his grandmother. But the soul nourishing herbs are very rare and expensive in this remote part of the continent. So, he was not sure if the Firecloud treasure pavilion could find thse ingredients for him.


    "Just inform her about this. I have to look for other sources if she couldn''t arrange the soul nourishing herbs", Zhan Chen added further.


    Ling''er nodded her head and took the paper from Zhan Chen. She threw a look at Zhan Chen before leaving the second floor.


    "There is no work to do for now. I should take a look at what Kai Min is doing. She is going to be my woman in few days. So, there is no problem if I take a look at her", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and spread his soul consciousness.


    His soul consciousness easily passed through the locked door and Zhan Chen could see what Kai Min was doing.


    She was currently practicing her sword inside her room. Drops of sweat had appeared on her beautiful face but she was practicing single mindedly without wiping out her sweat.


    Her beautiful figure was moving in an agile manner as she kept performing some of the sword techniques. Zhan Chen watched her sword practice for a period of time. She had a beautiful figure and while practicing her sword, she was looking like a beautiful painting of a celestial artist.


    Zhan Chen observed Kai Min while she was busy in practicing her sword. He shook his head after looking at her for a period of time. "Her stance Iooks good but shecks the fundamental. Looks like I need to find some time to teach her swordsmanship", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Best not to waist my time. It is still day. I should cultivate for a period of time", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He entered the pill hall and sat crosslegged.


    Zhan Chen operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and the warm energy of sun started to enter inside his body. The divine Yinyang diagram which lied above his dantian lit up faintly as the pure Yang energy from sun entered the body of Zhan Chen.


    Ling''er took less than half an hour to return to the second floor of the Firecloud treasure pavilion. She was holding three wooden boxes where the pill ingredients were stored.


    She looked for Zhan Chen outside but couldn''t find him anywhere. "Young master must have gone to the pill room", Ling''er thought to herself and walked towards the pill room.


    She could feel the slight spiritual energy fluctuation in the air after reaching the pill room. "Young master must be cultivating", she thought to herself and waited outside.


    Zhan Chen took another half an hour to cultivate. He felt energetic after cultivating for an hour of time. "Ling''ere inside", Zhan Chen spoke even before opening his eyes.


    "Thanks again for your hard work. Let me give you a kiss as a reward", Zhan Chen spoke and stood up from his ce. He walked to Ling''er and pulled her into his embrace.


    Ling''er blushed but did not resist. Something hot pushed against her stomach as her cheeks became reddened. Zhan Chen took out the boxes form her hands and ced them nearby. Then he cupped her beautiful face with both of his hands and took her beautiful lips with his own.


    "Mmmmm~Young master, let me close the door first", Ling''er spoke after Zhan Chen freed her lips.


    "No need. We are not doing anything major", Zhan Chen spoke and took in her beautiful lips again. Their tongues became entangled with eachother as Zhan Chen tasted the fragrant saliva of Ling''er. Desire appeared in Ling''er''s heart as she threw a charming nce towards Zhan Chen.


    "Ling''er, looks like you are ready for another round again. Do you want to do it now?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er.


    Ling''er blushed but an eager look appeared on her beautiful face. She nodded her shyly and sneaked a nce at Zhan Chen.


    The supressed fire of Zhan Chen lit up again after he saw the desire in Ling''er''s eyes. "Young master, can you let me do it this time? I want you to be happy first before doing other thing", Ling''er muttered in a shy voice.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing the words of Ling''er. He could understand the underlying meaning of Ling''er''s words. She wanted to please him first before they would do anything. His heart felt warmed by the deep affection and concern she was showing towards him.


    "Ok, you can do as you like. Do you want to do it here or should we move to other room?", Zhan Chen asked. Ling''er blushed after hearing his question.


    "It is alright if young master like this room", Ling''er spoke shyly.


    "Then we can do it here. Let me close the door first", Zhan Chen spoke as he caressed the pretty face of Ling''er.


    Ling''er nodded her head. Zhan Chen went to the door and locked it from the inside. He came over and shared another passionate kiss with Ling''er.


    "Young master, let me help you with your clothes", Ling''er spoke and took out the clothes of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen coperated with her and all his clothes came out within few moments.


    Ling''er threw a charming nce at his little brother and stretched her slender hand to touch it. Zhan Chen let her do as she pleased as Ling''er hold his dragon tightly.


    Ling''er started to stroke his dragon gently as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen smiled towards her and nted kiss on her forehead.


    Ling''er knelt down and cupped his dragon with both of her hands. Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled by the soft touch of her hands. Ling''er moved her mouth towards his dragon d stretched out her pink tongue.


    Her tongue started to touch every part of his dragon as Zhan Chen''s dragon became moistened by her tender care. Ling''er didn''t torment Zhan Chen much as she opened her pretty mouth and took in the little brother of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen took a long breath to control his impulse after Ling''er started to move her head back and forth.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", an erotic sound came out from Ling''er''s mouth as she moved her head rapidly.


    She stretched out her tongue and wrapped it around his dragon while moving her head. A pleased expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as her tongue made him more pleased. His dragon trembled as it beceme more mighty after her intense care.


    Zhan Chen stretched out his hand and ced it on the back of her head.He pushed her head more closer towards his dragon as his dragon entered more deeper inside Ling''er''s mouth.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Zhan Chen pushed her head gently as Ling''er took his dragon more deep inside her mouth. Zhan Chen started to move his waist as well as both of them started to move in tandem.


    "Young master, can you sit somewhere? It will be tiresome if you stand like this", Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen while stroking his dragon.


    "I have no problem in standing but you can''t stay in that position for longer", Zhan Chen spoke as he referred to Ling''er''s kneeling position.


    "Come, I have a better suggestion. I will concoct the pill while you can lie down and use your mouth on it", Zhan Chen spoke to Ling''er.


    Ling''er felt confused but after Zhan Chen sat up, his intension became clear to her.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 87 - Burning Yang Pill

    Zhan Chen picked up the wooden boxes which contained the spirit herbs. Then he moved over to the small mat which was ced before the pill cauldron.


    He sat on thefy looking mat which was ced over the thick carpet of the pill room. "Ling''er,e here", Zhan Chen beckoned towards Ling''er who had already stood up from her kneeling position.


    "Ling''er, you can lie on your stomach beside me and use your mouth on it. I will concoct a pill at the same time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, is not it going to disturb you?", Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen with a confused look on her face. ording to her, what Zhan Chen was nning to do was too risky for an alchemist. Generally no alchemist would like to be disturbed while they were concocting a pill. Concocting a pill required the utmost focus and concentration of an alchemist. But here her young master was nning to concoct a pill while they were doing this naughty thing..


    "No need to worry about it. You just need to focus here. It has started to miss the care of your mouth", Zhan Chen pointed at his little brother who was proudly showing its head towards Ling''er.


    "Ok, young master. I aming then", Ling''er spoke while blushing. Her young master always loved to do such weired things. So, she didn''t think much and decided to follow the direction of Zhan Chen.


    She lied down beside Zhan Chen and her head was ced on top of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her pretty back becamepletely exposed before Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen traced her curve and moved her hand towards her lower region. Her two pretty half moons came infront of his hands. Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself and gave a squeeze to her fleshy b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.


    "Mmmmm~", Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen squeezed her pretty buttocks a little. She didn''t want to stay behind. So, he took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen felt good as Ling''er started to move her mouth. Zhan Chen massaged her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. and thighs a little.


    He parted the of her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. with his fingers and moved his fingers toelwards her hidden cave.


    Her cave had already started to drool as Zhan Chen felt a moist feeling on his finger.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp!", Ling''er moved her head up and down and Zhan Chen''s dragon directly moved deep inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen rubbed Ling''er''s sacred treasure a little. Her perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. squirmed slightly as Zhan Chen rubbed his finger on top of her sacred cave.


    Ling''er''s sacred cave became more wet after Zhan Chen started to y with her little sister. Zhan Chen stooped after few minutes. He withdrew his hand from her sacred cave and caressed her silky hair a little.


    "Ling''er, you can continue. I am concocting the pill. Tell me if you feel tired", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Ling''er stopped moving her mouth and released the dragon of Zhan Chen. She raised her head to look at Zhan Chen. She blushed after she saw the tender gaze of Zhan Chen towards her.


    "Young master, you can do your work. No need to worry about me", Ling''er spoke and focused her gaze on Zhan Chen''s dragon again. Zhan Chen smiled and turned to look at the wooden boxes.


    He took out the Yang bone grass first. The Yang bone grass was crimson in colour and it had a hardened surface. Zhan Chen picked up the grasses from the wooden box and threw them inside the pill furnace.


    He generated soul fire from his hand and pressed it on the pill furnace. Ling''er became surprised by the heating from the soul fire. She turned her head to look at the pill furnace but didn''t know where the heat wasing from.


    "How is this possible? Young master had not even started a fire. Yet, he could still heat the pill furnace", Ling''er thought to herself while moving her head up and down.


    It took only some minutes to extract the spirit liquid of Yang bone grass. Zhan Chen collected the medicinal essence of Yang bone grass in a jade bottle.


    He chuckled after seeing the appearance of Ling''er who had slowed down her mouth and curiouly observing his action.


    His little brother was needy but he couldn''t force Ling''er to do whatever he desired. So, he could only tolerate the torment and let Ling''er did whatever she was doing.


    Zhan Chen opened up a different wooden box and took out the Purple lotus leaves. The Purple lotus leaf was a big purple coloured leaf with a beautiful vein patterned appearance.


    Zhan Chen folded up the big leafs and separated them into even looking size. Five Purple lotus leaves were folded up neatly and separated into twenty even looking parts.


    Zhan Chen processed the Purple lotus leaves in an extremely experienced manner and threw them inside the pill furnace. He took out the soul fire again and heated up the pill furnace.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Ling''er started to moved her head intensely again and Zhan Chen felt like being showered by rain after a long drought. Ling''er was like a little girl who was reluctant to part with her favourite toy.


    Zhan Chen let her y as much as she like as he proceeded to open thest wooden box. He pulled out the cover and five green coloured spirit Bamboo shoot appeared Infront of his eyes.


    Zhan Chen picked up the five spirit bamboo shoots and broke them into smaller parts. Then he threw them inside the profound grade pill furnace. It took only few minutes for the Siprit bamboo shoots to turn into liquid. Zhan Chen picked up a jade bottle and stored the medicine essence of Spirit Bamboo shoots.


    "Well, only thest step remained. After it, the Burning yang pill will be full prepared", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He decided to rx for a while and stretched his hand to massage the pretty back of Ling''er again. It had been ten minutes since Ling''er had started pleasing him by using her mouth. Zhan Chen observed her and could not since any kind of tiredness in Ling''er''s eyes. She was being more enthusiastic to please him with each passing minutes.


    Ling''er felt rxed as Zhan Chen massaged the different acupoints of her entire back. He moved her left hand towards her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. again and gave a squeeze to each of them. Then he focused his mind on concocting the pill again.


    He opened up the jade bottle which contained the medicine essence of Purple lotus leaf. He poured the medicinal liquid inside the pill furnace and closed the lid of the pill furnace.


    Ling''er was notzy at all as she was still moving her head up and down. She managed to discover a technique in these few minutes as she started to move her head more deeper with Zhan Chen''s dragon was still inside her mouth.


    She noticed that Zhan Chen''s dragon was throbbing more intently if she moved her mouth more deep. She didn''t have to move much as she only needed to move her mouth more deep and hold the dragon of his young master.


    She released Zhan Chen''s dragon after few minutes. He took a breath of air and pulled Zhan Chen''s dragon into her mouth again. Thus time, she was letting Zhan Chen''s dragon to move much much inside her mouth. Zhan Chen felt a wave of pleasure coarsing through his body after Ling''er started to apply her new technique.


    He didn''t let this distract himself as he opened up the lid and poured the medicinal essence of Spirit Bamboo shoot inside the pill furnace. He closed off the lid once again and raised intensity of his soul fire.


    He channeled his spiritual energy from his pseudo soul as his soul fire burned more brightly. Ling''er became disturbed once again and turned to look at the pill furnace.


    Zhan Chen kept raising the temperature of pill furnace as he poured more spiritual energy from his pseudo soul. He stopped after few minutes and took out the jade bottle which contained the medicinal essence of Yang bone grass.


    He opened up the lid of the pill furnace band poured the medicinal liquid of Yang bone grass inside the pill furnace. He closed off the lid and raised the temperature once again. After few minutes, he lowered the temperature of the pill furnace but still kept heating the pill furnace in a lowered temperature.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Ling''er was still trying her best to please Zhan Chen despite being distracted from time to time. Zhan Chen was also feeling it hard to control himself after such intense care of Ling''er. His dragon was bulging as Ling''er put her mouth on top of his dragon.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his hand after ten minutes. "Ling''er, stop. You have done a pretty good job", Zhan Chen poke and caressed the silky hair of Ling''er. Ling''er struck out her tongue and took a lick of Zhan Chen''s dragon. She tickled the tip of Zhan Chen''s dragon and pulled out.


    "Ling''er, you little! Even you have also learned how to tease me", Zhan Chen threw an evil nce at Ling''er.


    "Ok, let me collect the Burning yang pill first. Then I will reward you forall your hard work", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He opened up the lid of the pill furnace and took out a shiny pill which had a crimson colour with vein like pattern on it.


    "How pretty", Ling''er murmured as she stared at the Burning yang pill. Zhan Chen stored the Burning yang pill in a jade bottle and closed off the opening. Then he turned to look at Ling''er who was staring at the Burning yang pill.


    "Ling''er,e over and sit on my thighs", Zhan Chen spoke. Ling''er blushed but she still did what Zhan Chen had said.


    Zhan Chen cupped her pretty face and nted a passionate kiss on her red lips. Then he pointed his dragon towards her cave and prated her cave in a single thrust.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 88 - Panicked Royal Family

    "Father, is there no other way?", a middle aged man clenched his fist and looked towards an old man who was sitting under a huge tree.


    "Wushang, don''t behave like a fool. I have never thought that you have done such a thing to the Zhan family when I am not paying attention", the old man red at the middle aged man.


    "But, why Ming-er? She is the most talented daughter of mine! That bastard of Zhan Long is not worthy enough to marry my daughter", the middle-aged man said with a fierce look in his face.


    "Wushang, enough! Do you consider me as a fool?", the old man frowned as he threw a fierce re at the middle aged man.


    "Father, I don''t dare", the middle aged man lowered his head. The name of the middle aged man was Zi Wushang who was the current king of Red cloud kingdom. He was famous for his tyrannical behaviour but all his might was nothing infront of the old man who was the old king and also the father of Zi Wushang.


    "Wushang, why are you still hung up on that Li girl? She is already married to the brat of Zhan Hanahan and now a mother of a sixteen year old boy", the old king looked towards Zi Wushang..


    "Father, I just....", Zi Wushang tried to exin himself but couldn''t think of anything to reply to his father.


    "Wushang, you chose not to help Zhan family in their difficult hour but have you thought about the implication?", the old king looked towards his son.


    "You have underestimated the poprity of Zhan Hanshan among our soldiers. They are more loyal towards him than our royal family. Now that you have done such a thing, what will happen if the Zhan family decided to pull away?", Zhan Hanshan shook his head.


    Cold sweat poured from the head of Zhan Wushang who was still arrogant just a while ago. He had thought to subdue Zhan family if they dared to rebel but now that a powerful ancestor came to protect them, his every n had already proved to be pointless.


    "Father, I understand", Zi Wushang lowered his head.


    "No need to think much about it. What is done is done. We can only think ahead now", the old king smiled towards his son.


    "Father, what is your order now?", Zhan Wushang looked towards his father.


    "Tell Yini to see me. It has been years since I have seen that little girl", the old king spoke.


    "I will tell sister to see you", Zi Wushang replied. He talked about some other urgent matters with his father and left after some time.


    "Fortunately, no one from the Zhan family is killed by those Ming family bastards. Otherwise, it would have been a real headache to manage the rtionship between ourshelves and Zhan family. I will speak with Si Yueter. Hopefully, she will agree to my request", the old king thought to himself as he saw the figure of his son fading into the distance.


    ------------


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~", Ling''er moaned continuously as Zhan Chen continued to thrust his dragon inside her sacred cave.


    Both Ling''er and Zhan Chen was sitting in an intimate position as both of their lower bodies were connected with each other.


    Ling''er was sitting on Zhan Chen''s thighs as both of her legs were ced on either side of Zhan Chen''s waist. Their bodies were facing each other closely as Zhan Chen could feel the heat of Ling''er''s body.


    Zhan Chen held Ling''er''s waist and moved her body up and down on his dragon. His waist was moving along with her body as Zhan Chen''s dragon became more intimate with Ling''er''s little sister.


    With each thrust of Zhan Chen, Ling''er was feeling an indescribable joy. There was also slight pain by such deep pration but the pleasure was much moreparable to that slight pain she was feeling. Infact, the pain felt enjoyable to Ling''er as she looked at Zhan Chen with desire fileed eyes.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~", Zhan Chen took in the rosy lips of Ling''er with his lips as he stopped moving his waist. Their lower body rts were still connected with each other as both of them indulged themshelves in a kiss.


    Ling''er was sitting on Zhan Chen''s spear as her mouth was being invaded by Zhan Chen''s mouth. She moved her waist slightly as Zhan Chen''s dragon prated more deeply inside her cave.


    "Mmmmm~", her body twitched a little as she released her yin water while being kissed by Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen''s tongue moved around Ling''er''s mouth as he tasted every inch of her inside. Ling''er also responded passionately as she entangled her little tongue with Zhan Chen''s tongue.


    They parted their mouths only after kissing eachother for some minutes. A line of saliva joined theor mouths even after they moved apart from each other.


    Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen with love filled eyes. Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself after seeing her emotion for him. He took in her lips again and kissed Ling''er passionately.


    "Young master, thank you. It feels so good", Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen with emotion filled eyes.


    "Ling''er, what are you saying? It always feels good to cultivate with you", Zhan Chen spoke while caressing her silky hair.


    "Ling''er, you need to help me today. Both miss Shu and Su''er alsoing out of their seclusion in an hour. After Ruyan came out, I will consume the Burning yang pill", Zhan Chen spoke to Ling''er.


    "Young master, you can ask me to do anything", Ling''er nodded her head. She had no idea what was she going to face after Zhan Chen consumed the Burning yang pill.


    "Ling''er, put on your dress ande with me to your room. I will give you a massage to rx your body", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Ling''er nodded her head and put on her clothes. Zhan Chen looked towards his unsatisfied little brother helplessly and pulled up his clothes.


    "Young master", Su''er cried out in surprise as she saw Zhan Chen. She looked around her room and saw Ling''er sleeping soundly on the bed. A line of her saliva wasing out from her lovely mouth as she was drooling in her dream.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after following the gaze of Su''er. Su''er also smiled after seeing theical appearance of Ling''er.


    "Young master", Su''er called out excitedly. Zhan Chen smiled at her as he could guess the reason of her excitement.


    "Congrattion, Su''er, you have managed to reach the sixth stage of Meridian opening realm", Zhan Chen smiled towards Su''er who had an excited look on her face.


    How could not be she happy? Increasing cultivation required such hard work and talent, yet she had already increased her cultivation by so many steps in a mere span of few days.


    "Young master, thank you", Su''er looked at Zhan Chen. A grateful look appeared on her pretty face.


    "What is there to thank me for? That is what you deserve", Zhan Chen shook her head with a smile.


    "Come here", Zhan Chen bockoned his hand towards Su''er. Su''er blushed but still stood up and walked to the bed.


    Zhan Chen pulled her beautiful body close to him and made her sit on the bed. He cupped her pretty face and nted a passionate kiss on her lips.


    Su''er also copearated as both of their tongues entangled with eachother. Zhan Chen moved his hand towards her peaks and massaged each of them with his right hand. Su''er''s face reddened as she let Zhan Chen did whatever he liked.


    Su''er stretched out her hand and ced it on top of Zhan Chen''s lower clotthes. She easily found Zhan Chen''s dragon as she started to massage it gently.


    The evil fire supressed inside Zhan Chen''s body lit up again. He nted an agressive kiss on Su''er''s lips as he sucked the fragrant saliva of Su''er''s tongue.


    "Mmmmm~", Su''er moaned lightly as Zhan Chen sucked her tongue with his lips. Zhan Chen ced his hand on her slender hand and guided it inside his pant.


    His dragon trembled in pleasure as it felt the smooth touch of Su''er''s hand. Su''er stroked his dragon gently after cupping her fist around Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen pulled the string of her cloth and her dress became undone. She was not wearing anything under her cloth as her pretty body bacame exposed infront of Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen gaveba sqeeze to her snowy peaks as Su''er continued to stroke his dragon. Su''er also tried to remove his clothes and Zhan Chen helped her in removing his clothes.


    Su''er blushed after after seeing the raised spear of Zhan Chen. Her desire red up as she stroked Zhan Chen''s dragon more intently.


    "Young master, please lie down", Su''er spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and lie down beside Ling''er. His dragon was raising it''s head proudly as it pointed it''s tip towards the ceiling of Su''er and Ling''er''s room.


    Su''er struck out her tongue and licked the tip of Zhan Chen. Her pink tongue continuously teased the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt it unbearable as his dragon bulged up. Su''er didn''t let him suffer much as she took in the proud brother of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    "Slurp! Slurp! slurp", Su''er started to move her head up and down as an erotic sound came out from her room. Her saliva drenched the dragon of Zhan Chenpletely as she continued to move her head in an up and down fashion.

 Chapter 89 - Shen Ruyan Had Come Out Of Her Seclusion

    Zhan Chen let Su''er do as pleased and enjoyed her care leisurely. His dragon trembled in delight as Su''er bathed it with her fragrant saliva.


    "Su''er, move your back towards me and lie down on my chest. You can continue whatever you are doing in that position", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Su''er blushed but she still ced both of her thighs on two side of Zhan Chen''s chest and lied down. Her pretty b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.. and her sacred cave lied close to Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    "Twin snake biting eachother", Zhan Chen nodded his head as Su''er was pretty smart to understand his intention.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Su''er didn''t make him wait as she took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth. Her mouth moved up and down as Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in pleasure.


    Zhan Chen pulled her waist more close to him and struck out his tongue. His tongue directly prated the sacred cave of Su''er as Su''er''s body twitched in pleasure.


    "Mmmmm~", Su''er moaned as she continued to move her head up and down. Her cave was slippery and watery. Zhan Chen stretched her thighs a little bit more and her sacred cave became slightly widened.


    Zhan Chen pulled Su''er''s waist closer towards his face as his tongue prated deep inside her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Su''er moamed loudly as Zhan Chen''s dragon slipped out from her mouth. She wiggled her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s a little and Zhan Chen''s tongue touched some of the unreachable region of her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Su''er felt like flying as Zhan Chen moved his tongue inside her sacred region. Her little sister watered up as Zhan Chen continued to tease her little sister.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Mmmmm~


    Ahhhhhhh~", Su''er started to moan as she couldn''t think of anything for a moment. Zhan Chen moved his tongue skillfully and let Su''er moan in pleasure.


    "Su''er, move over and sit on it. You will feel more good in that way", Zhan Chen pointed towards his little brother. Su''er nodded her head with a blush but she couldn''t hide her desire from Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen gave another lick to her cave entrance and moved away his hands from her thighs. Su''er changed her position and ced herself on top of Zhan Chen''s spear.


    "Ahhhh~", Su''er moaned as Zhan Chen''s dragon prated her cave in a single go. She didn''t move her waist immediately. She wiggled her body slightly and felt the intimate contact of Zhan Chen''s dragon with her little sister.


    "Move your waist", Zhan Chen spoke. Su''er nodded her head and tried to do an up and down motion. She did it slowly at first but gradually her speed increased.


    "Thap~Thap~ Thap", her movement increased and with it an erotic sound came from the contact of Su''er''s little sister and Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Young master, I can''t hold on any more", Su''er spoke as she felt something gushing out of her cave.


    "Well then, release it", Zhan Chen spoke and moved his waist. He held her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. and thrusted her from the bottom.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhh!~", Su''er moaned and finally released a fountain of water from her sacred cave. Her pretty body twiched as she felt an indescribable happiness.


    "Young master", she called out while looking at Zhan Chen with emotion filled eyes. Zhan Chen wrapped his hand around her waist and brought her pretty body close to him. Her big moounds pressed in his chest as Zhan Chen brought her mouth close to him.


    "Young mas....", before she couldfinish her line, Zhan Chen brought her pretty lips close to his lips. Both of their lips connected and both of them expressed their emotion with a passionate kiss with eachother.


    Su''er wrapped her pink tongue with Zhan Chen''s tongue. She tried to nibble on Zhan Chen''s lips and Zhan Chen allowed her to do so. Zhan Chen could hear her heartbeat through her two big mounds.


    Her heart rate was paid as she was kissing Zhan Chen intensely. Zhan Chen looked at her eyes and responded her emotion with an agressive kiss on her lips.


    Su''er responded again as she saw her passion to Zhan Chen with another round of kiss. Zhan Chen''s dragon was still inside her cave and Su''er''s body heat up once again as she shared such passionate monents with Zhan Chen.


    "Young master~", Su''er called out as her waist started to move once again. She moved her waist intently as Zhan Chen''s dragon pierced her sacred cave from her bottom.


    Zhan Chen who was leisurely enjoying the hard work of Su''er, suddenly moved his head towards a certain direction.


    "Young master, what is the matter?", Su''er asked while riding on Zhan Chen''s dragon. "Your young miss is about to breakthrough", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Really! She will be a Core Condensation realm expert after this", Su''er spoke as she moved waist more rapidly. Zhan Chen understood her intention as she was trying to wrap up the things soon. Both Su''er and Ling''er didn''t want to miss the moment when Shen Ruyan would being out of her seclusion.


    Zhan Chen hold her waist and started to thrust her from her bottom. Both his waist and Su''er''s body moved in tandem as Zhan Chen''s dragon pierced the sacred cave of Su''er.


    "Young master, it ising out", Su''er spoke as she continued to move her waist in an upward and downward motion. Zhan Chen also didn''t stop thrusting her from bottom as Su''er released another stream of water from her cave.


    "Let''s go out then. Ruyan will be happy if she saw you two after existing her seclusion", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Miss Shu, you can also open your eyes. No need to pretend that you are still in seclusion", Zhan Chen towards Li Shu with a smile.


    Li Shu''s pretty face reddened after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She was feeling too shy to open her eyes and look at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen chuckled and moved over to the ce where Li Shu was sitting. He lifted up her slender body and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips.


    Li Shu opened her eyes shyly after Zhan Chen lifted her up from her sitting position. She pecked on Zhan Chen''s cheeks after receiving a kiss from Zhan Chen.


    "Miss Shu is pretty adorable", Su''er murmured while putting in her clothes. She looked at Ling''er who was still sleeping soundly with a smile on her face.


    "Miss Shu, do you want to visit Ruyan with us?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu.


    "Who is Ruyan?", Li Shu wanted to ask but the earlier conversation of Su''er and Zhan Chen striked up inside her mind. A look of disbelief appeared on her somehow simple looking face as she thought about Zhan Chen and the young miss of Shen n.


    "Even, the young miss of Shen n have fallen for young master Chen. No wander, I couldn''t resist his charm even for a moment", Li Shu thought with a blush on her cheeks.


    "Miss Shu, what are you thinking?", Zhan Chen looked at Li Shu with a smile.


    "Ah, nothing. I also want to visit miss Ruyan", Li Shu spoke hurriedly to hide her little thought. Zhan Chen chuckled but didn''t say anything to Li Shu.


    "Then, be ready. We can move after I wake u Ling''er", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Shu nodded her head and checked on her clothes. She didn''t want to be embarassed infront of the young miss of Shen n who was much more beautiful than herself.


    Zhan Chen turned her gaze towards Ling''er who was sleeping like a baby. He moved near to her and pressed a finger on a nerve of her neck.


    Ling''er opened her sleepy eyes after a moment. She didn''t know what to do as she yawnedzily. She could remember that her young master told her to sleep and before she could understand, he pressed a point on her neck and she fallen asleep.


    "Good morning, young master. Good morning, sister Su''er, good morning miss Shu", Ling''er greeted everyone present.


    "He he.....", A smile came to Li Shu''s lips as she couldn''t control her smile. "Sister Ling''er, it is only evening at this moment", Li Shu looked towards Ling''er.


    Ling''er moved her head towards Su''er to confirm what she heard from Li Shu and Su''er nodded her head at Ling''er. Ling''er''s cheeks reddened immediately as she sneakily looked a nce at Zhan Chen. She didn''t want to make a jock of herself infront of Zhan Chen.


    "What are you thinking?", Zhan Chen flicked her forehead.


    "Your young miss has already broken through. She wille out of her seclusion at any moment. Let''s go to visit her", Zhan Chen spoke.


    When Shen Ruyan opened her door, she found Su''er and Ling''er at the forefront.


    "Young miss, congrattion on your breakthrough", Su''er and Ling''er greeted Shen Ruyan with genuine smiles on their faces. A smile came to Shen Ruyan''s face after she heard the greetings of Su''er and Ling''er.


    Her gaze move over and she found Zhan. Chen smiling at her with a smile. A look of gratitude and love appeared on her pretty face as her gaze fell upon Zhan Chen.


    "Ruyan, congrattion. You are finally a core condensation realm cultivator", Zhan Chen smiled towards Shen Ruyan.


    "Zhan Chen, thank you", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen. An unspeakable emotion appeared in both of their eyes as Shen Ruyan''s gaze matched with Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Shen Ruyan felt shy and turned her gaze away. She turned her gaze towards the other person who hade to visit her along with Zhan Chen, Ling''er and Su''er.

 Chapter 90 - A Deal With Liu Nanxi

    "Congrattion, miss Ruyan", Li Shu spoke in a slightly reserved manner.


    "Thank you", Shen Ruyan replied with a smile.


    "Where is Kai Min and and Li Yan?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Li Shu.


    "They both are in their room. I have seen sister Min but I have yet to see my cousin", Li Shu replied. Shen Ruyan nodded her head in understanding.


    "Congrattion, young miss", a voice made Shen Ruyan to turn her head. It was Liu Nanxi, the old expert who always guarded Shen Ruyan like a shadow.


    "Aunt Liu", a beautiful smile came to the face of Shen Ruyan after she saw Liu Nanxi..


    "Good evening, senior", Zhan Chen also greeted the old woman who always loved to use those concealing techniques.


    "Brat, you have done well. I can''t deny that you are shameless but you still have some skills to be proud of", Liu Nanxi spoke.


    "Thanks for the praise", Zhan Chen chuckled.


    "Gettings senior", both Su''er and Ling''er also greeted Liu Nanxi by bowing their heads. Li Shu was no exception as a Martial ascension realm expert was the topmost expert of her n.


    Liu Nanxi nodded her head at them. She turned her gaze to look at Shen Ruyan again. "Miss, you can enter the cultivation path once again. n head will be happy if he learn about this news", Liu Nanxi spoke as a smile appeared on her aged face.


    "Brat, you can''tg behind miss by so many stages. So, don''t becent and focus your eyes on cultivation", Liu Nanxi chided Zhan Chen. She wanted to say other things but even her old face became reddened when she thought about the matter of Zhan Chen.


    She always loved to stay outside of Firecloud treasure pavilion. She loved to conceal herself so much that she didn''t have her own room inside the pavilion. At her cultivation realm, there was no need to eat or sleep. So, she always guarded the Firecloud treasure pavilion from the outside.


    Yesterday, she wanted to check on her young miss. But some sounds from the room of Su''er and Ling''er diverted her attention. Thinking about those things, Liu Nanxi''s cheeks became reddened.


    Her gaze fell upon Ling''er and Su''er and their lewd moans came to her mind. "Being young is so blissful", she thought to herself. She stpped backward and her figure faded from everyone''s eyes.


    "I will talk to herter", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he thought about the matter of Kai Min.


    "Zhan Chen, can we visit your Zhan family? I have not seen big sister in days. I want to see her before returning to the central region", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Are you sure, you want to see mother?", Zhan Chen looked at Shen Ruyan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.


    Shen Ruyan blushed but she still nodded her head resolutely. "There is no point in hiding from big sis. Moreover, it will be difficult to leave tomorrow as the experts of my Shen family will reach the Red cloud kingdom tomorrow. They will escort us to the central region", Shen Ruyan spoke softly.


    "What a let down!", Zhan Chen murmured. He couldn''t wait to pounce on Shen Ruyan but she had her other nning.


    "Forget it, I also have to look for ways to find those Soul nourishing medicines. If pushes to shove, then I can request for the help of the ancestor", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Shen Ruyan chuckled as she noticed the dejected feeling in Zhan Chen''s eyes. A sweet feeling rose in her heart as she smiled sweetly.


    "Ok, let''s go to see mother and father. They will happy if they see you", Zhan Chen looked at Shen Ruyan.


    "What brother Long! How can he be inside the capital?", Shen Ruyan became surprised after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. A feeling of panick slowly crept to her heart after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Yes, father, elder uncle and second uncle has returned yesterday. They are brought by the ancestor of my family", Zhan Chen replied.


    Shen Ruyan nodded her head but an uncertain feeling rose in her heart when she thought about meeting Zhan Long with her current identity.


    Zhan Chen went over and wrapped his hand around the slender waist of Shen Ruyan. Ruyan who had be absent-minded for a moment blushed after she felt the hand of Zhan Chen around her.


    "What are you doing?", Shen Ruyan blushed as she threw a look at Li Shu.


    "No need to worry about her. She is also one of my woman", Zhan Chen spoke as he tightened his hand around the waist of Shen Ruyan.


    Zhan Chen turned over Shen Ruyan''s body and her pretty face came closer to his face. Zhan Chen cupped his face and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips.


    Shen Ruyan nudged Zhan Chen''s body with her elbow as her pretty face turned crimson. "Zhan Chen, don''t be stupid. We are in open now", Shen Ruyan turned her eyes here and there to make sure that no one had seen them.


    "It is fortunate that no one is here!", she released a breath of relief after making sure that no other person was present except their group. Her face turned crimson as she threw a gaze at Li Shu.


    "Zhan Chen, you shameless...", her lips were once again taken by Zhan Chen before she she couldplete her sentence. This time Zhan Chen saw some agressiveness and invaded her pretty mouth. His tongue chased down her little tongue and wrapped itself around her pretty tongue.


    "Mmmmm~", Shen Ruyan tried to protest but a sweet feeling overwhelmed her mind. Zhan Chen tasted her fragrant saliva as his tongue tasted every inch of her mouth. Shen Ruyan cooperated unconsciously but her slight movement made Zhan Chen more agressiveness. He greedily licked her tongue as his hand roamed around her slender back.


    Shen Ruyan''s face was red like an apple when Zhan Chen released her from his embrace. "How pretty", both Su''er and Li Shu thought to herself as their hearts felt easy. Shen Ruyan''s beauty was out of the world. She was equally capable to bewitch both men and women.


    "Let''s go to the Zhan family estate first. We can do these thingster in night", Shen Ruyan spoke with a blush on her face. Zhan Chen''s desire red up once again but he reigned in his evil thoughts.


    "Let''s go then. You girls can alsoe ove if you want to visit my parents", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young miss, can wee with you?", Ling''er looked at Shen Ruyan with a hopeful look in her eyes. Liing''er and Li Shu was also same as each of them them wanted toe cliser with Zhan Chen''s parents. It was a basic Instinct of every woman to impress the family of their man and Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu were no exception.


    "You girls cane with us. Li Shu, you should also visit big sis. I mean Zhan Chen''s mother. She will be happy if she knows that her daughter inw is a talented weaponsmith", Shen Ruyan spoke. Her tone was slightly awkward when she mentioned Zhan Chen''s mother.


    Zhan Chen chuckled but didn''t say anything. He waited sometime for Shen Ruyan to properly dress up. Then, together with Ling''er, Su''er, LinShuband Shen Ruyan, he left the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    Shen Ruyan had a hesitant look in her face as they were closing on the Zhan family estate.


    "Don''t think much. Father will be happy if he learns about our matter", Zhan Chen spoke as he caressed the silky hair of Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and kept her head on Zhan Chen''s shoulder.


    The beautiful horse pulled carraige was moving with a creaking sound. It stopped at the the gate of the Zhan family estate.


    Zhan Chen stepped out from the carraige and the girls followed after him. Liu Nanxi appeared in the sky without alerting the guards of the Zhan family.


    "Young miss, take care. I will wait here", Liu Nanxi looked towards Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and turned to move ahead.


    "Senior, please wait a minute. I have something to discuss with you", Zhan Chen looked towardsiu Nanxi.


    "Brat, what is it? You better not schemeing anything", Liu Nanxi looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Petty woman", Zhan Chen cursed inside his mind. But he still looked at Liu Nanxi with a smiling face on his surface.


    "Speak, what is it?", Liu Nanxi looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, pleasee here. It is rted to Star ascension pill. So, I can''t talk about it openly", Zhan Chen replied and looked at Liu Nanxi.


    A curious look appeared in the eyes ofiu Nanxi as she looked at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen still had a smile on his face and as expected, Liu Nanxi moved over to stand near Zhan Chen.


    "Ruyan, give us some space. It will take few minutes", Zhan Chen looked at Shen Ruyan and the other girls. Shen Ruyan didn''t say anything and moved over with Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu. She could only watch curiously as the disagreed look on the face of Liu Nanxi beame softer and finally Shen Ruyan saw both Zhan Chen and Liu Nanxi agreed upon the matter they were discussing.


    "Brat, I will move in the early morning. You better not be lying. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you if you enrage a Martial ascension realm expert", Liu Nanxi spoke before fading into thin air.


    (To be continued...)

 Chapter 91 - Daughter-in-laws!

    "Let''s go, she has already left", Zhan Chen smiled towards Shen Ruyan and other girls. "What are you discussing with aunt Liu?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen curiously.


    "I want her help in bringing the parents of Kai Min", Zhan Chen replied. "Why do you need to bring her parents?", Shen Ruyan felt more confused after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Let''s get going first. We can talk in our way", Zhan Chen pulled the waist of Shen Ruyan towards him.


    "What are you doing? We are in public now", Shen Ruyan spoke in a flustered voice. She hurriedly freed herself from the hand of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, please be serious. You can''t act like this when we are in public. You can''t imagine the consequences if words about our matter leaked to outside", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen with a ming look on her face..


    "Ok, ok, I get it. I will openely ask for your hand when I became a Martial ascension realm expert", Zhan Chen spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head with a blush.


    "Miss Shu please follow after me. Ling''er and Su''er has already visited our Zhan family but it is your first time here", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu. Li Shu blushed when Zhan Chen looked towards her. She nodded her head shyly and moved closer to Zhan Chen.


    "Let''s get going", Zhan Chen looked towards everyone and strode forward. Shen Ruyan, Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu follwed after him to the Zhan family estate.


    Zhan family guards had already noticed the group of Zhan Chen. They wanted to greet Zhan Chen but after seeing the girls with him, they left him alone.


    "Wow, what beauties! That veiled beauty is looking so gorgeous".


    "The girl after her seems to be average but she has a noble demeanor", one of the guard pointed his eyes towards Li Shu.


    "The two girls at thest are looking great. I can''t move my eyes from that cute looking girl", one of the guards spoke while looking towards Ling''er.


    "You fools! Are you begging to be punished? They all are with young master Chen. Greet them properly when they pass by us", the leader of the guards shouted at his subordinates.


    The guards hurriedly turned their head as they waited for the group of Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings Young master, greetings young miss", the guards bowed towards Zhan Chen and the group of Shen Ruyan. Zhan Chen nodded his head at the family guards and let the girls inside.


    The Zhan family estate was built in a hill. So, everyone had to take the stairs if they wanted to meet with Zhan family. "Everything seems to be more organized than before. Something has changed inside the Zhan family", Shen Ruyan thought to herself as she observed the Zhan family guards and the surrounding.


    "Zhan Chen, is there really a formation around your Zhan family?", Shen Ruyan looked here and there to find the clue of the formation. She had heard the news that Zhan family ancestor had built a strong formation around the Zhan family estate.


    "It is true", Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and folliwed behind Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, you have forgot something", Ling''er spoke after being silent for a while. Silence was thest thing one could expect from a lively girl like her.


    "What is it?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er with a smile.


    "You have promised to talk about miss Min''s parents", Ling''er replied with a curious look on her face. Shen Ruyan also turned her head and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the curious look in everyone''s face. Only Li Shu was looking normal as she knew about the deal between Kai Min and Zhan Chen.


    "Ruyan, have you heard about innate body constitution?", Zhan Chen asked Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan nodded her head as her curiousity grew after hearing Zhan Chen''s question.


    "Well, miss Min has such a body constitution. Moreover, among the three types of blessed body constitutions, she has the second type, the heaven body constitution", Zhan Chen exined.


    A look of shock appeared in the eyes of Shen Ruyan. Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu were also same as they heard the words of Zhan Chen.


    Any cultivator with the innate body constitution was superior to other cultivators. People believed that such kinds of person had received the blessing of heaven when they were in their mother''s wombs. In the entire Northern desert continent, person with Innate body constitution were very rare. They were treated as treasures by every sect or n.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the expression in everyone''s face.


    "I was also surprised when I found out about her body constitution. Moreover, her body was was not even a sky grade constitution, it was one grade higher than that, the heaven grade constitution. The grade above that was very rare and appeared only once in a millenium", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Are you talking about the divine body constitution?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen with wide eyes. Zhan Chen nodded his head as an unpleasant memory came to his mind. It was about a girl who was hailed as the most beautiful girl of the continent. She was not only beautiful but her talent surpassed everyone.


    "Forget about it. I can only think about her when I have enough strength", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "What happened?", Shen Ruyan held the hand of Zhan Chen in concern. She could notice the change in expression of Zhan Chen.


    "Nothing, forget about the divine body constitution for now. Let''s talk about the body constitution of Kai Min", Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ruyan and the other girls.


    The steps were long. So, Zhan Chen managed to describe the circumstance of Kai Min before they could reach the ce of his mother.


    "Is not it like bargaining? You have done simr things with me", Shen Ruyan rolled her eyes at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen cured her aliment in exchange of making her his first woman. Now, he was doing the same kind of thing. Making Kai Min, his woman in exchange of helping her.


    "Are you regretting?", Zhan Chen teased Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan shook her head as she threw a charming nce at Zhan Chen.


    "I am happy that I havee to know you. No matter what I was thinking earlier, I can''t imagine my life without you", Shen Ruyan spoke as she looked towards Zhan Chen tenderly. Ling''er and Su''er also nodded their heads as they looked towards Zhan Chen. Li Shu didn''t speak anything either but she waspletely agree with Shen Ruyan. She would never regret her decision after bing the woman of Zhan Chen.


    "You girls!", Zhan Chen didn''t know what to do after seeing their expression. She very much wanted to embrace them but they were already in the central area of Zhan family estate.


    "Let''s go to mother''s ce", Zhan Chen spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and followed Zhan Chen with other girls.


    The maids who were working in his mother''s ce greeted Zhan Chen after noticing his arrival.


    "Where is mother?", Zhan Chen asked the maids.


    "Wait a minute, young master. I will inform madam and general about your arrival", one of maid spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and waited for his mother near the entrance.


    An anxious look appeared in the eyes of Li Shu as she thought about meeting her mother-inw. Su''er and Ling''er were also same as they were feeling anxious about the opinion of Zhan Chen''s parents.


    "You little brat, where are you running aroundtely", the voice of Zhan Long came as he approached the group of Zhan Chen with Li Qingzhao.


    "Ah! Ruyan is also here" Zhan Long spoke after noticing Shen Ruyan.


    "Brother Long", Shen Ruyan gretted Zhan Long with a reddened face.


    "Your aura! You have managed to breakthrough?", Zhan Long looked at Shen Ruyan with surprise. As a cultivation fanatic himself, his attention was quickly grabbed by the cultivation level of Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan had just made her breakthrough. So, she had yet to properly consolidate her cultivation. Her was leaking from her body. So, it was no surprise when Zhan Long noticed her cultivation level with a nce.


    "Ruyan, congrattion on your breakthrough. I have thought that you have forgot about me", Li Qingzhao smiled towards Shen Ruyan.


    "Who is this young miss? I have never seen her before", Li Qingzhao looked towards Li Shu. Li Shu blushed after seeing the eyes of Li Qingzhao on her.


    "Su''er and Ling''er has also grown pretty big. They were already two pretty looking little beauties", Zhan Long teased Ling''er and Su''er.


    Ling''er and Su''er blushed after hearing Zhan Long''s words. They nced at Zhan Chen shyly. Then lowered their heads to avoid the embarassment.


    Li Qingzhao was quite sharp. So, she easily noticed the expression of Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu


    "Chen-er", she threw a nce at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen chuckled as he saw the questioning gaze of his mother.


    "Mother, no need to guess. Ling''er, Su''er, Li Shu, all of them are my women", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Heaven!", Li Qingzhao put her hand on her mouth as she yelped with surprise. Zhan Long was also stunned after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    He looked at Shen Ruyan with surprise. Shen Ruyan blushed after seeing Zhan Long looking at her.


    "Paying my respect to Father-inw"


    "Paying my respect to mother- in-w", Li Shu knelt down and paid her respect to Zhan Long and Li Qingzhao. Ling''er and Su''er also knelt down but they didn''t say anything.


    "You little girls! What are you doing?", Li Qingzhao spoke as she hurried towards Li Shu, Su''er and Ling''er.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 92 - A Conversation Between Father And Son

    "There is no need to do such things. Stand up", Li Qingzhao helped Li Shu to stand up.


    "You two liittle girls, why are you also kneeling? Stand up quickly", Li Qingzhao threw a nce towards Su''er and Ling''er with fake anger on her face. Su''er and Ling''er hurried to stand up after seeing the expression of Li Qingzhao.


    Zhan Chen chuckled from the side after seeing the interaction between his mother and the Ling''er, Su''er pair. The most surprised among his parents was not his mother but his father, Zhan Long.


    "Qingzhao, is it really true? Ruyan and this little brat..", Zhan Long looked towards his wife for answer. Shen Ruyan blushed as she could see the disbelief in Zhan Long''s eyes.


    "Yes, they have informed me about their matter but who would have thought that even these two little girls have fallen for him", Li Qingzhao rolled her eyes towards Zhan Chen..


    Zhan Chen scratched his head as he didn''t know what to say to his mother.


    Ling''er and Su''er blushed as Li Qingzhao talked about them with Zhan Long.


    "Let''s forget about these two girls. Here is another girl who had also fallen for him. From her demeanor, I can tell that she is from a noble family", Li Qingzhao spoke as she observed Li Shu.


    "Ruyan, can you introduce her to us?", Li Qingzhao looked towards Shen Ruyan. Zhan Long also turned his gaze towards Li Shu. He was feeling confused about what to do with so many daughter-inws.


    "Big sis, have you heard of all the powerful families of the provincial capital?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Li Qingzhao.


    Li Qingzhao nodded her head as she looked towards Li Shu with more interest. Every mother wanted a good daughter-inw in their families and Li Qingzhao was no exception. Her interested was piqued up after Shen Ruyan mentioned the powerful families of provincial capital.


    "She is from the Li n which is the n of grandmaster Li", Shen Ruyan introduced Li Shu to Li Qingzhao and Zhan Chen.


    "Grandmaster Li!", Zhan Long eximed after hearing the name of the most prominent weaponsmith of the region. Although their Zhan family was located in a distant corner but Zhan Long had knowledge of the outside region.


    Red cloud kingdom belonged to Shredded mountain province. A province was the part of a region and it contained numerous kingdoms and ns in its boundary. Their Shredded mountain province had numerous powerful factions and Li n was one of the most powerful faction of entire province. No one dared to disrespect Li n as they had another identity. They were famous for their weaponsmithing abilities. Grandmaster Li was the most talented of the Li n as he was renowned in all the five provinces of western region.


    Zhan Long looked towards Li Shu with surprise. "What is a girl from Li n doing with our little brat?", Zhan Long looked towards Li Shu with a confused look. It wasmon sense that descendants of the powerful families disdained to associate themshelves with people from lower families. It was almost impossible for a boy of less powerful family to marry a girl from powerful families or ns.


    Their Zhan family could be considered powerful in the Red cloud kingdom but the power of Zhan family could be considered neglible when they left the boundary of the Red cloud kingdom. Even the family of his wife still felt disdain towards him even after so many years had passed since the marriage between him and Li Qingzhao.


    A worried look appeared in the eyes of Zhan Long as he threw a look towards Zhan Chen. He didn''t want his son to be humiliated like himself.


    "Miss, can you tell me why did you choose our son? Can your n ept your rtionship with us?", Zhan Long looked towards Li Shu as a serious look appeared on his face.


    Li Qingzhao also looked towards Li Shu as she waited for her answer. She could understand the concern of her husband and she also didn''t want any suffering for her son. So, she waited for Li Shu to exin herself.


    "Big sis and brother are still being worried about Zhan Chen. But they didn''t know what his potential is like. Given time, Zhan Chen can propose a marraige infront of my family. Much less when we think of a mere family of provincial capital", Shen Ruyan thought to herself.


    "I, my family....", Li Shu became flusted after being interrogated in this manner.


    "No need to panick, just tell them your reason", Zhan Chen encouraged Li Shu. He was not worry of any trouble but it didn''t mean that his parents wouldn''t be worried about him. So, he encouraged Li Shu to exin herself.


    "Big sis, no need to felt concerned. I knew about the matters of Li family as our Shen family has established a business rtionship with grandmaster Li", Shen Ruyan exined from the side.


    Zhan Long and Li Qingzhao diverted their attention from Li Shu to Shen Ruyan as they looked towards Shen Ruyan with curious looks on their faces.


    "She is most talented weaponsmith among the Li family younger generation. Her father had died since her early childhood. So, she has only her mother and grandfather in her family. They have given her freedom to choose her partner ording to her will. So, the Li n is not going tointerfere with her personal business", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    "What! She is a weaponsmith?", Li Qingzhao eximed after a moment. Zhan Long also had a stunned look as both of them looked towards Li Shu with surprise.


    Li Shu felt shy after seeing her father-inw and mother-inw looking towards her. Li Qingzhao tried to look normal as she noticed the awkward look of Li Shu.


    "You two, go out. Let us girls discuss things in private", Li Qingzhao looked towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Long. Both father and son felt helpless as they couldn''t defy the supreme existence of their family.


    "You girls, follow me inside. No need to think about those two. Let us sit down and discuss things", Li Qingzhao held the hand of Li Shu and led them inside. She threw a look at Shen Ruyan, Su''er and Ling''er as all the girls followed her to the living room.


    Zhan Chen helplessly followed after Zhan Long as both father and son went outside. "You brat, are you really cultivating? You didn''t seem to be serious?", Zhan Long trew a look at Zhan Chen.


    "I am already at peak stage of Meridian opening realm. So, you can tell me whether I am cultivating seriously or not", Zhan Chen retorted the reprimanding tone of his father.


    "Don''t becent. The girls you are picking are all from noble families. Forget about Li family, have you ever considered how you going to approach the Shen family of Ruyan?", Zhan Long looked towards his son.


    "Father, you may not believe me but I will take at most one year to reach the peak of Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen spoke while looking at the distant sky.


    Zhan Long wanted to speak something but he bacame silent after seeing the confidence in Zhan Chen''s eyes. It was the same confidence when his father went to do war with other kingdoms.


    "I believe in you", he spoke after a minute. "Don''t forget to take good care of them. Otherwise, I will not forgive you", Zhan Long looked at Zhan Chen.


    "I will", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Father, have you used the marrow nourishinig liquid?", Zhan Chen looked towards his father.


    "Yes, I can feel my body has strengthened a lot after I have used that bottle", Zhan Long replied.


    "Congrattion father, you will soon be a Core condensation realm cultivator", Zhan Chen smiled towards his father.


    Zhan Long also smiled as he didn''t refute the words of Zhan Chen. He threw a look at his son and then looked towards the distant sky where Zhan Chen was looking at. He knew his little son was going to leave their tiny home.


    Compared to the interaction between father and son, the room of Li Qingzhao was more lively. Shen Ruyan was leaving the Red cloud kingdom. So, both Li Qingzhao and Shen Ruyan had opened up a bit.


    Both of them interrogated Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu as both of them were curious about how Zhan Chen managed to get them in his grasp. The condition of Li Shu was somehow managable but Ling''er and Su''er were the most flustered one among the three of them. They couldn''t describe how Zhan Chen managed to get both of them. Their cheeks reddened when they thought about the indescrnt thing they were doing when Zhan Chen caught them.


    "Ok, you two girls. No need to be flustered. We are only teasing both of you", Li Qingzhao spoke as she looked towards the heavily blushing girls.


    "Ruyan, do you really have no problem with Chen-er? He is randmly picking girls out there?", Li Qingzhao looked towards Shen Ruyan with a concerned look on her face.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 93 - Beauties Are Eager To Warm The Bed

    "No big sis, I understand him. He can''t be med for the things he is doing. It is rted to his cultivation path. I am happy as long as he didn''t forget about me", Shen Ruyan looked towards Li Qingzhao.


    "More over, all of these girls are good. With his appetite, no single girl can satisfy him alone", Shen Ruyan spoke in a slightly absent-minded manner.


    "You little girl, what are you speaking!", Li Qingzhao nudged her elbow on Shen Ruyan''s belly. There was a smile on Li Qingzhao''s pretty face after she heard the words of Shen Ruyan.


    "Looks like my Chen-er is really good with girls", Li Qingzhao thought inside her mind after seeing the blushing expression on the faces of Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu. All of the girls didn''t have look of resentment in their eyes when they heard the words of Shen Ruyan. Rather all of them threw a knowing look at each other and blushed while avoiding the prying eyes of Li Qingzhao.


    Shen Ruyan felt embarassed for a moment but Li Qingzhao made her feel normal. She didn''t want Shen Ruyan to feel out of ce just because her son had rtionship with Shen Ruyan.


    Li Qingzhao still looked Shen Ruyan as her own little sister. Moreover, she didn''t feel any aversion towards her after knowing her rtionship with Zhan Chen. Rather her affection grew towards Shen Ruyan after knowing her matter with Zhan Chen.


    "Ok girls, let''s arrange dinner for everyone. Anyone knows cooking among you?", Li Qingzhao looked towards her beautiful daughter-inws.


    Li Shu lowered her head in embarassment after hearing the question of Li Qingzhao. Any parents would love to have a virtuous wife for their children and the first work of a virtuous wife was to cook for the family. Li Qingzhao smiled after seeing the look in her daughter-inws faces. The expression of Su''er and Ling''er were also same as both of them were cking when anyone tried to teach them cooking.


    "Ok, no need to feel embarrassed. I am just casually asking. Even I have also learned cooking after an entire year of my marriage", Li Qingzhao spoke with anforting tone on her voice. Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu felt rxed after hearing the words of their mother-inw.


    "Aunt, can I follow you to the kitchen hall? I want to learn cooking?", Li Shu gathered her courage and asked Li Qingzhao.


    "Sure, you can follow me if you want", Li Qingzhao smiled towards Li Shu.


    "Can we alsoe along?", Su''er and Ling''er asked with eager look on their faces.


    Li Qingzhao chuckled after seeing the look on the faces of Su''er and Ling''er. "Ruyan, are youing?", she asked Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and all of the girls followed Li Qingzhao to the kitchen hall of Zhan family estate.


    -----------------


    "Big sis, we are going then. I will visit you and big brother after sorting out the matters of my Shen n", Shen Ruyan spoke to Li Qingzhao after everyone ate their dinner.


    "No need to worry about me. Deal with the trouble of your Shen n first. Then you cane and stay with us whenever you want", Li Qingzhao smiled towards Shen Ruyan.


    "You girls, take care. Visit us whenever you have time", Li Qingzhao looked towards Li Shu, Su''er and Ling''er.


    "Aunty, you also take care. We will visit you with young master", Su''er and Ling''er spoke. Li Shu also added the same after Su''er and Ling''er spoke. Zhan Chen said goodbye to his parents and left with Shen Ruyan and other girls.


    The luxurious carraige of Shen Ruyan left the Zhan family ce and rushed towards the Firecloud treasure pavilion. Zhan Chen stepped out from the carraige after they reached the Firecloud treasure pavilion. Shen Ruyan and other girls follwed after him and entered the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    "Zhan Chen", Shen Ruyan called out after they entered the second floor of Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    "Ruyan", Zhan Chen smiled towards Shen Ruyan as he looked towards her beautiful face.


    "The Falcon guards of my Shen family is going to reach in tomorrow morning. You need to control yourself at that time. As for what you want, we can do it tonight~", Shen Ruyan murmured near the ear of Zahn Chen. They were walking together and the other girls were walking behind them. So, Shen Ruyan chose this opportunity to remind Zhan Chen about this important matter.


    Her pretty face became reddened as she looked at Zhan Chen. It had been days since thest intimate session between them. So, Shen Ruyan felt expectant when she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Let''s go to your room then", Zhan Chen grinned towards Shen Ruyan. He extended his hand and wrapped his hand around the slim waist of Shen Ruyan.


    "Girls, you need to wait a bit. Let me serve Ruyan first", Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Shu, Su''er and Ling''er.


    "What are you doing? We are still outside", Shen Ruyan struggled in the arm of Zhan Chen. She looked here and there to check if any other person was present.


    "No need to worry. Kai Min and Li Yan is in their rooms", Zhan Chenforted Shen Ruyan as he saw the panicked look on Shen Ruyan''s face.


    Shen Ruyan freed herself from Zhan Chen''s hand and hurriedly towards her room. She was feeling embarrassed by the open teasing of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen let her go and turned to look towards Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu. Both three girls were looking at him with reddened faces. Zhan Chen could see their emotion for him when he looked at their faces.


    He walked towards them and pulled Su''er and Ling''er to his arms. Su''er and Ling''er wrapped their hands around his back as they nestled against his chest. Zhan Chen nted a kiss on their lips and freed her hand to bring Li Shu closer. He cupped her pretty face and nted a kiss on Li Shu''s pretty lips.


    "You girls, please wait for me. I will return after finishing with Ruyan", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu.


    "Young master, is young miss not going to join us?", Ling''er muttered in a low voice. Zhan Chen smiled after hearing the words of Ling''er.


    "Don''t worry about it. She wille on her own", Zhan Chen spoke to Ling''er. He tousled the silky hair of all three girls. Then, left for Shen Ruyan''s room.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have to knock on the door as the room of Shen Ruyan was kept open for him. Zhan Chen chuckled and entered the room of Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan threw an enchanting look at Zhan Chen after noticing his arrival. She was lying leisurely as her desire could be seen in her two pretty eyes.


    Zhan Chen stood stunned for a moment as he saw the look on the face of Shen Ruyan. He was already acquainted with Shen Ruyan but her beauty still made him surprised from time to time.


    "Ruyan, you are looking prettier", Zhan Chen smiled towards Shen Ruyan.


    "Really?", a beautiful smile blossomed on the face of Shen Ruyan as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and walked towards her. He ced a finger on top of her head and moved it downward to feel her curves.


    After passing through her lips, he traced her slender neck. Then he moved her finger between her two beautiful peaks. His finger didn''t stop as it reached her slender belly. Then it went downward where her sacred region lied.


    Shen Ruyan shivered slight as Zhan Chen teased her above her dress. Zhan Chen stopped after reaching at herher region. He traced her sacred cave with his finger. Then bent down and nted a kiss on Shen Ruyan''s beautiful lips.


    Shen Ruyan''s body heat up as Zhan Chen moved his finger on her sacred cave. Her body arched up as Zhan Chen traced her sacred cave skillfully.


    Zhan Chen bent his body once again and brought his face close to Shen Ruyan''s beautiful lips. Shen Ruyan''s red lips were already moist. Zhan Chen took in the red lips of Shen Ruyan with his lips and tasted the fragrant saliva of Shen Ruyan''s mouth.


    Shen Ruyan sat up on her own after she shared a passionate kiss with Zhan Chen. He stretched her slender hands and tried to take out the blue robe of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen helped her in undressing his robe and his tall yet lean body appeared Infront of Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan blushed after seeing the bare body of Zhan Chen. She ced her hand on Zhan Chen''s body and felt the touch of his skin. She moved her mouth close to Zhan Chen''s body and ced a kiss on his chest.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t supress his desire anymore as he held the hand of Shen Ruyan and guided it to his little brother. Shen Ruyan looked at his little brother and her face reddened after seeing the appearance of his liittle brother.


    She started to stroke it gently as she felt the heating out of her long dragon. Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in pleasure as it became more mighty after feeling the smooth touch of Shen Ruyan''s hand.


    Shen Ruyan nced towards Zhan Chen as she kept stroking the long dragon of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt it hard to control himself as Shen Ruyan kept teasing him with her hand.


    "Ruyan, can you use your mouth", Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ruyan.

 Chapter 94 - Consuming The Burning Yang Pill

    Shen Ruyan blushed after seeing the heated gaze of Zhan Chen on her. She lied down on her belly and raised her head so that her mouth coulde close to Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen moved a step and brought his little brother close to Shen Ruyan''s pretty looking face. Shen Ruyan stretched her hand and held the mighty spear of Zhan Chen.


    She moved her body slightly forward and took in the long dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth. She moved her tongue around the head of Zhan Chen''s dragon and started to move her head back and forth.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Shen Ruyan moved her head and an erotic sound echoed inside Shen Ruyan''s room.


    "Ruyan", Zhan Chen couldn''t supress the fire of desire inside him anymore. Ruyan''s beauty was irresistible and Zhan Chen felt his dragon bulging up by the care of Shen Ruyan.


    "Ruyan, do you want it bigger?", Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ruyan and pointed at his dragon with his hand.


    Ruyan threw a confused nce at Zhan Chen as a hint of curiosity appeared in her beautiful eyes.


    Zhan Chen freed his little brother from Shen Ruyan''s mouth and used Dragon transformation technique on it. With a will of his mind, the veins on his dragon bulged up and started to change its appearance.


    Shen Ruyan lied stunned as a look of disbelief appeared on her pretty eyes. "How is this possible?", Shen Ruyan eximed as she observed the mighty thing of Zhan Chen.


    She stretched her hand and kept her hand on the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen. Her fist seemed small infront of the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Shen Ruyan stroked it gently as she observed the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen. It was a pure white spear with it''s girthpared to the size of her fist. A water drop came out from Zhan Chen''s dragon as it felt the smooth touch of Shen Ruyan''s hand.


    "How pretty!", Shen Ruyan murmured as she wiped the water drop leaking from the head of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Then he rubbed her wet finger around Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled as Shen Ruyan kept teasing it with her slender hand.


    "Ruyan, take it inside your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke with a burning gaze in his eyes.


    Shen Ruyan blushed but she still nodded with a reddened face. Desire was welling up inside her mind as she took in the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    "It is too big", Shen Ruyan muttered as she moved her head back and forth. Her slender hand was stroking the base of Zhan Chen''s dragon as she kept using her mouth on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and pulled Shen Ruyan''s head towards his dragon. His dragon traveled deeper into Shen Ruyan''s mouth and Zhan Chen felt a wave of pleasure coarsing through his body. He moved his waist slightly as his dragon moved back and forth inside Shen Ruyan''s mouth.


    Zhan Chen let ashen Ruyan go after an minute. Shen Ruyan took a long breath to disperse the choking feeling inside her mouth. She threw a look at Zhan Chen''s dragon which was drenched with her own saliva.


    Zhan Chen turned over her body and took out belt that was holding her long dress together.


    Shen Ruyan cooperated with Zhan Chen and let him undress her. Her pureless naked body appeared Infront of the eyes of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen stretched both of his hand and ced them on her bountiful snowy peaks. Shen Ruyan''s peaks were full. Zhan Chen felt extra bounciness when he squeezed them with his hands.


    "Mmmmm~", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen yed with her snowy peaks. He moved one hand towards the lower region of her body. Below her peaks, lied a beautiful in and further down lied a secret valley which was hidden between her snowy thighs.


    Zhan Chen separated her thighs and her sacred cave became exposed infront of him.


    Zhan Chen ced his hand just above her sacred cave as his middle finger came close to the entrance of her sacred cave.


    He rubbed on top of her sacred cave gently as Shen Ruyan shivered in pleasure. Her body heated up as Zhan Chen kept ying with her little sister.


    It didn''t take time for Shen Ruyan''s little sister to water up. Zhan Chen inserted his finger inside and his finger became wet immediately after he inserted it inside her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned faintly as Zhan Chen started to y with her little sister. Her body arched up slightly as she felt an incredible amount of pleasure.


    "Ruyan, looks like you are ready. Considering the potency of the pill, I may need yours and other girls help to absorb the essence of the pill. It will help me in breaking through to True essence realm", Zhan Chen spoke while rubbing the entrance of Shen Ruyan''s little sister.


    Shen Ruyan freed herself from the hand of Zhan Chen and sat down. "What pill it is?", she looked curiously towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen picked up a pill bottle from his clothes and a crimson coloured pill appeared Infront of the eyes of Shen Ruyan.


    "It is Burning yang pill. It will provide a huge source of yang energy to my body", Zhan Chen spoke to Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan blushed as she understood why Zhan Chen need her help and other girls. "What is the grade of this pill?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It a grade three pill but considering its potential even some Core Condensation realm experts can''t consume this pill", Zhan Chen replied.


    Then, why are you eating it? There is no need to take such risks", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen with concern.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the concerned look of Shen Ruyan. "No need to worry. I just need the continuous supply of yin energy to calm down the yang property of my body", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Then, what are you nning to do?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen. Her cheeks were already reddened as she could understand the implied meaning of Zhan Chen''s words.


    "I just need to dual cultivate continuously to absorb the medicinal essence of the pill. So, I need your help after eating it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will help you. You just need to tell me what to do", Shen Ruyan spoke while blushing. Zhan Chen nodded his head and opened up the pill bottle. He took out Burning yang pill which had a vein pattern on its suface.


    Ruyan felt surprised after seeing the vein pattern on the surface of the Burning yang pill. "Such clear vein pattern!", Shen Ruyan eximed inside her mind.


    Her thought was interrupted as she felt hot breathing to her body. She looked towards Zhan Chen and her expression changed after she saw the expression of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was trying hard to calm down his mind as hot breath wasing from his nose. He felt warm all over his body as the veins of his dragon bulged up. His dragon was so stiff now that even he couldn''t bend it with all of his force.


    "Ruyan, you are mine", Zhan Chen spoke and pushed Shen Ruyan to the bed. Before Shen Ruyan could process what was happening, Zhan Chen parted her legs and raised them up. Shen Ruyan''s expression changed as she saw the size of Zhan Chen''s dragon. It''s girth waspared to the size of her own fist.


    "Zhan Chen, can youdo something to it. It is too big", Shen Ruyan spoke hurriedly.


    "Don''t worry. I know what to do", Zhan Chen spoke. He rubbed his mighty dragon on Shen Ruyan''s cave.


    "Mmmmm~", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on the entrance of Shen Ruyan''s cave.


    With a will of his mind, he reduced the size of his dragon. It was still big but it had a size which Shen Ruyan could manage. Zhan Chen couldn''t control his impulse anymore as he thrusted his dragon inside Shen Ruyan''s sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned as she felt the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her cave. Her cave was already wet. With another thrust, Zhan Chen inserted his dragon more deeper inside Zhan Chen''s cave.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned continuously as Zhan Chen kept thrusting his dragon inside her sacred cave. Zhan Chen leaned on her body and picked up one of her peaks with his mouth. He sucked it intently and kept moving his waist.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Mmmmm~


    Ahhhhhh", Shen Ruyan kept moaning as Zhan Chen made her lose all her semnce. Shen Ruyan forgot everything except the feeling of Zhan Chen''s dragon as Zhan Chen thrusted his dragon continuously inside her sacred cave.


    Shen Ruyan felt something welling up inside her lower belly as Zhan Chen continued to thrust his dragon inside her cave.


    "Ahhhh~Zhan Chen, it ising~", Shen Ruyan moaned as she felt a familiar feeling inside her cave. Zhan Chen didn''t stop thrusting his dragon inside her cave as he he kept moving his waist.


    "Ahhhhh~", a stream of fragrant water came out from Shen Ruyan''s cave as Zhan Chen kept thrusting his dragon inside her cave.. His dragon trembled in pleasure after it was drenched with the yin water of Shen Ruyan.

 Chapter 95 - A Night With Four Beauties

    Zhan Chen kept thrusting his dragon inside Shen Ruyan''s cave even after she had released her yin water.


    The Burning yang pill was working up slowly and Zhan Chen could feel his impulse growing with every passing minute.


    "Ruyan, can you go and call other girls. It is getting hard fot me to control myself", Zhan Chen spoke while thrusting his dragon inside the moist cave of Shen Ruyan.


    "Wait a minute. I will bring them to you", Shen Ruyan spoke with a reddened face. She stretched her hand and pulled out Zhan Chen''s dragon from her cave.


    Her face reddened further as she saw the appearance of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Red veins were bulging up on the body of Zhan Chen''s dragon as it stood proudly pointing it''s head towards the roof of her room.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hands and groped her tall peaks. He pulled out his hands only after massaging her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. for a minute.


    Shen Ruyan could feel her body heating up once again. She threw another look at Zhan Chen''s dragon and moved up from her sleeping position.


    Zhan Chen didn''t bother her further as Shen Ruyan put on a dress on her body. Then without any undergarments, she left her room.


    Zhan Chen looked at his little brother and felt helpless.


    A feeling of primordial lust slowly crept into his mind. Zhan Chen tried his best to suppress the uncontroble impulse of his little brother as a sh of epiphany struck his mind.


    "Humans perform many act to survive in the nature and among them physical intimacy is the most sacred one. It is a deep meditation, a holymunication and a dance with the force of creation. Connect yourself to the world and feel it''sintricacy while performing the most sacred art between men and women", Zhan Chen recalled the words he had read in the diagram world.


    A feeling of understanding came to his mind as he realised something. It was so ethereal that it couldn''t be described in words. But Zhan Chen felt as if a knot untied from his mind. The divine Yinyang diagram which lied atop his dantian glowed on its own as Zhan Chen felt more connected to his surrounding.


    The feeling of suffocation reduced slightly as Zhan Chen tried to feel his own yang energy. His dragon was still standing proudly but Zhan Chen didn''t try to suppress it this time. Insitead, he tried to feel the flow of yang energy inside his body. He pushed yang energy more conciously towards his dragon and his dragon bulged uppletely.


    "Now I can control my yang energy more smoothly", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he turned his head towards the door. Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu didn''t take much time as they came with Shen Ruyan.


    "Zhan Chen, are you okay?", Shen Ruyan asked as she threw a look at the little brother of Zhan Chen.


    "Girls, take out your dresses ande over. I need all of your help to calm down it", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu.


    All three girls blushed as they started to take out their clothes. Zhan Chen pulled over Ling''er first before she could take out her undergarments.


    Zhan Chen ced her on the bed and helped her in taking down her undergarment. Ling''er was wearing a pink undergarment over herher region. Her pretty little sister came to the view of Zhan Chen''s eyes after he took out her silky undergarment.


    Zhan Chen ced his index finger on top of Ling''er lips and pressed it inside her mouth.


    Ling''er involuntarily licked his index finger with her slippery tongue. Zhan Chen took out his finger after it was fully drenched by the fragrant saliva of Ling''er.


    He parted her legs and rubbed his thumb on the entrance of Ling''er''s cave. Then he inserted his index finger inside her cave.


    "Nnnnnn~", Ling''er moaned as her body heated up by the act of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen leaned slightly and held the still developing peak of Ling''er with his other hand.


    Ling''er felt desire taking over her mind as she threw an expectant look at Zhan Chen.


    "Looks like you are ready already", Zhan Chen spoke after seeing her expectant gaze. He pulled Ling''er''s body more closer and ced his dragon on the entrance of Ling''er''s cave.


    Then without any further dy, he thrusted his dragon inside Ling''er''s cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Ling''er moaned loudly as she felt the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen inside her cave. Zhan Chen held both of her pretty thighs and started to move his waist.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhg~", Ling''er moaned loudly as Zhan Chen continued to thrust his dragon inside Ling''er''s cave.


    A thought came to his mind as he released his soul consciousness. He could feel the different energy of the heaven and earth as the exchange between yin and yang energy made his perception more clear.


    He continued to thrust his dragon inside Ling''er''s cave and tried to perceive the etherealws of heaven and earth.


    "Young master, it ising~", Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen was relentless with her little sister. "It is quite an amazing feeling", Zhan Chen muttered as he gave a deeep thrust to Ling''er''s little sister.


    "Ahhhhhh~", Ling''er moaned and released a stream of her yin water. Zhan Chen leaned down on her body and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips. Then he looked towards Su''er, Li Shu and Shen Ruyan.


    Li Shu was looking at him in a dazed face as she was holding one of her own peak. Su''er was more bold as she was rubbing a finger gently on her cave. Shen Ruyan''s cheeks were reddened as she was observing the intimate act of Zhan Chen and Ling''er.


    Her finger was on top of her dress as she was trying to confort her little sister. "Looks like I don''t need to do anything. You girls are already ready", Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Shu, Su''er and Shen Ruyan.


    "I have an idea for all you girls. Come over here", Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ruyan, Su''er and Li Shu.


    "Ling''er, give me some space", Zhan Chen smiled towards Ling''er. Ling''er slid her body and Zhan Chen lied next to Ling''er.


    "Su''er,e over", Zhan Chen beckoned Su''er with his hand. Su''er came nearby and looked towards Zhan Chen. Her pretty face was already reddened as she was sneaking a nce towards the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Sit on top of it", Zhan Chen pointed towards his little brother. Su''er blushed but still nodded her head. She moved over and ced her little sister on Zhan Chen''s mighty dragon.


    She had some conservation due to the size of Zhan Chen''s dragon but she still tried to sit on top of it.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon touched the entrance of Su''er''s cave as Zhan Chen thrusted his dragon a little.


    "Ahhhhh~", Su''er moaned after Zhan Chen''s dragon entered her sacred cavepletely. She tried to move her waist as Zhan Chen''s dragon felt pleasure by the movement of her cave.


    Zhan Chen stretched both of his hands and helped Su''er in moving her body.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhh~", Su''er started to moan as Zhan Chen lifted her body upward and downward. Zhan Chen took out his hands after a minute as Su''er started to move her body on her own.


    Su''er felt an incredible amount of pleasure when she did the downward movement. Zhan Chen''s spear was prating her deep when she did the downward movement.


    Su''er continued to move her body upward and downward as Zhan Chen''s dragon rubbed on her cave wall intimately. Su''er felt like floating as she continued to jump on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ruyan and beckoned her toe closer.


    "Ruyan, take out your clothes and sit on my body. It feels like a long time since I havest tasted you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Shen Ruyan blushed as she could understand the meaning of Zhan Chen. She threw a charming look at Zhan Chen and took out her clothes.


    Li Shu widened her eyes after seeing the beautiful body of Shen Ruyan. Her already heated up body became more hotter after she saw the otherworldly body of Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan''s charm was equally fatal to men and women. Li Shu was no exception as she witnessed the epitome of beauty infront of her eyes.


    "She is so pretty", Li Shu murmured. Others could not listen her but it didn''t mean Zhan Chen couldn''t.


    "Miss Shu,e over here. You can take the ce of Su''er after she felt tired", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu.


    Li Shu blushed as an excited look appeared on her pretty face. She came over and sat near Su''er.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and caressed the pretty thighs of Li Shu. He pulled Li Shu''s body closer and stretched his hand towards her sacred cave.


    "Mmmm~


    Mmmmm~", Li Shu moaned as Zhan Chen rubbed the entrance of her cave with his fingers. She threw a look at Su''er who was still jumping on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 96 - There Is No Shortage Of Yin Energy

    Zhan Lin, the Zhan family ancestor raised his head as he noticed the presence of an expert in the vicinity of Zhan family estate. It was already deep night. So, Zhan Lin furrowed his brows slightly after noticing an expert approaching the boundary of Zhan family.


    "Halt", Zhan Lin sent a mental message to the expert who was approaching the Zhan family at a rapid speed.


    The expert who was flying in the sky paused on his path after he heard the word of Zhan Lin Inside his mind. His body hovered in the sky as he threw an expectant look towards the location of Zhan family.


    "Senior, I am from Lu n. Zhan n and my Lu n have always acted together. So, after receiving the message that someone from the Zhan n has emerged, I hurried to meet with you personally", the expert in the sky replied. He didn''t open his mouth. Yet, his message directly appeared in the mind of Zhan Lin.


    A look of mncholy appeared in the eyes of Zhan Lin as some past memories appeared inside his mind.


    "Lu n! I have never thought I will meet you guys again", Zhan Lin sighed after being silent for a moment.


    "Come over then. Let me here what has changed for the Lu family in the past four hundred years", Zhan Lin looked towards the direction of the Lu n expert.


    ---------------


    Zhan Chen didn''t have any idea that their Zhan family had received a guest of Lu family from the central ins. His gaze was currently focused on his beloved girls who had taken out their clothes and exposed their pretty bodies infront of his prying eyes.


    Su''er was jumping on his dragon without pause as his dragon was ploughing her little sister.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~", Su''er jumped up and down as she nted her little sister on Zhan Chen''s dragon. She jumped for another few minutes and slowed down her pace. She didn''t want to release her yin water early. So, she withdrew her little sister from Zhan Chen''s dragon and make it free for Li Shu to ride.


    Zhan Chen focused his gaze on Shen Ruyan who was too shy to do anything. He turned his body and pulled Shen Ruyan towards the bed.


    "Climb over the bed and sit on my chest. You don''t have to do anything after that. I will take care of everything for you", Zhan Chenmanded Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan blushed but still climbed the bed. She took a sneaky nce at Zhan Chen as her cheeks reddened further.


    "Such a big beauty but shy than little Ling''er", Zhan Chen shook his head.


    Shen Ruyan felt more embarassed as Zhan Chen was openly teasing her Infront of Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hands and pulled her towards his body. Before Shen Ruyan could react, she was already sitting over Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen looked towards his little brother as he felt a cool sensation on his dragon. It was Su''er who was using her mouth to please his little brother.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Su''er moved her head in a rhythmic manner as her mouth took in the long spear of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen saw Li Shu kneeling opposite to Su''er.


    Su''er threw a charming nce at Zhan Chen when she noticed Zhan Chen''s gaze on her. She yfully coiled her pink tongue around Zhan Chen''s dragon and gave it a sweeping lick with her tongue. Then she moved Zhan Chen''s dragon towards Li Shu.


    "This little witch", the veins on Zhan Chen''s dragon throbbed as he saw the teasing act of Su''er.


    Li Shu understood the gesture of Su''er. She threw an infatuated nce at Zhan Chen and brought her mouth close to the little brother of Zhan Chen.


    She struck out her little tongue and licked the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen. Su''er was looking at Li Shu with an encouraging look in her eyes. Su''er turned her head and looked towards Shen Ruyan''s pretty body. A red blush appeared on her face as he saw her young miss sitting close to her. Shen Ruyan also noticed the gaze of Su''er as her cheeks reddened further. She avoided the gaze of Su''er and looked towards Li Shu.


    Her body shivered slightly as she felt the touch of Zhan Chen on her back. Zhan Chen was caressing the pretty back of Shen Ruyan with his fingers.


    Zhan Chen was feeling the smoothness of her skin while caressing his fingers on her curvy back. Shen Ruyan''s skin was milky white and there was no extra flesh on her entire figure.


    Zhan Chen traced the line of her curves as he tried to imagine how God created such a beautiful creature.


    He pressed the back of Shen Ruyan slightly as Shen Ruyan crouched down her body. Her little sister moved close to Zhan Chen''s mouth and her face moved closer to Zhan Chen''s little brother.


    Shen Ruyan blushed as she knew what Zhan was going to do next. A look of anticipation appeared in her eyes as she waited for Zhan Chen to act.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disappoint her either as he dragged Shen Ruyan by her thighs and struck out his tongue.


    "Mmmmm~", Shen Ruyan moaned as she felt the tongue of Zhan Chen invading her little sister. Her pretty b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. twitched on their own as Shen Ruyan felt overwhelmed by the pleasure.


    The inside of Shen Ruyan''s cave was watery and fragrant. Zhan Chen felt a cool yet pleasant sensation while invading Shen Ruyan''s cave with his tongue.


    Li Shu took a final swipe at Zhan Chen''s dragon with her tongue. Her little sister was drooling as she also want to feel the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her. She followed the body posture of Su''er and ced her little sister on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Her little sister moved slowly downward as Li Shu felt the huge spear slowly going inside her cave. An unbelievably good feeling came to her mind as she became connected with Zhan Chenpletely.


    She didn''t move her waist immediately as she didn''t want the current sensation to disappear. She had lowred her little sister as much as possible as Zhan Chen''s spear fully impaled her little sister.


    She started to move her waist after a while. She felt like as if she was riding a wild horse underneath. Zhan Chen''s dragon touched some of her newly discovered corners as Li Shu closed her eyes in delight.


    "Mmmmm~", Li Shu moved her waist back and forth as she relished the current feeling she was having. Her eyes were closed and she moved her waist slowly on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen let her do as she pleased as his attention was on Shen Ruyan.


    "Ahhhhhh~ Zhan Chen~", Shen Ruyan moaned as an intense pleasure slowly overwhelmed her five senses.


    Shen Ruyan was unconsciously moving her waist as she wanted Zhan Chen to touch every corner of her little sister.


    "Mmmmm~ it feels great~", Shen Ruyan didn''t have any control over her mind as she started to speak some sweet nothing. Su''er couldn''t control herself anymore as she watched such intense feeling. She threw a look at her young miss and the naked body of Li Shu. Her hand automatically moved towards her ownher region as she rubbed her little sister gently.


    Ling''er also felt hot all over her body as she became ready for another round. She looked at Su''er and her cheeks reddened further.


    "Zhan Chen~ it ising~", Shen Ruyan didn''t take it anymore as she moved her little sister close to Zhan''s face. Zhan Chen pulled her by her thighs and make her sit on top of his mouth.


    "Ahhhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned as she released a small stream of yin water inside Zhan Chen''s mouth. Zhan Chen happily gulped down her rainwater as he gave a lick to her already sensitive little sister.


    Shen Ruyan withdrew herself as she needed a little rest.


    "Su''er,e over. No need to please yourself on your own", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er who was rubbing her own little sister.


    Su''er hesitated a little but Zhan Chen gave her aforting look. Su''er crouched down on Zhan Chen''s body as she ced her little sister close to Zhan Chen''s face.


    Her little sister was already drooling. Zhan Chen pulled her body more closer and inserted her little sister with his tongue.


    "Ahhhhh~", Su''er moaned as she felt a new kind of pleasure in herher region. Zhan Chen''s tongue was slippery as it easily entered deeper inside Su''er''s cave. Zhan Chen skillfully used his tongue as he touched every corner of Su''er''s cave.


    "Mmmmm~", Su''er felt iparably good as she also started to twist her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. a little. Zhan Chen pulled her more closer and mped down her lower lips with his own lips.


    "Ahhhhh~ young master~ it ising out~", Su''er moaned and flooded the mouth Zhan Chen with her fragrant water.


    Li Shu couldn''t control herself as she also started to move her body more intensely.


    "Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~", Li Shu moaned as she jumped up and down on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Ahhhhh~", she finally couldn''t control herself and released her yin water on Zhan Chen''s dragon.

 Chapter 97 - Peak Of The Cultivation Path

    "Who would have thought that I will meet the grandson of Lu Fan one day! Fate really works in a starange way", Zhan Linmented.


    The Lu family expert didn''t disturb Zhan Lin as he let the Zhan family ancestor recall some fond memories alone. Zhan Lin looked towards the Lu family expert after few moments. His gaze was no longer indifferent as he was meeting the grandson of his life long brother.


    "What is your name?", Zhan Lin asked the Lu family expert.


    Senior, my name is Lu Huan. I am currently the grand elder of Lu n", the Lu family expert introduced himself to the Zhan family ancestor. His voice was humble as he knew that he was standing infront of one of the peak expert of ancient Zhan n.


    "Zhan Huan meaning bringing joy to your loved ones. Was your name given by your grandfather?", Zhan Lin looked towards Lu Huan.


    A surprised look appeared in the eyes of Lu Huan as he nodded his head. "Yes senior, mygrandfather has given me my name", Lu Huan replied.


    Zhan Lin nodded his head as a smile appeared on his face.


    "Then have you heard the name Zhan Lin ever?", Zhan family ancestor looked towards Lu Huan.


    "Zhan Lin!", Lu Huan tried to recall the few names of Zhan n experts he had ever heard from his grandfather.


    "There does not seem to be any expert with Zhan Lin name. But Zhan Lin...this name seems familiar. Where have I heard it?", Lu Huan tried hard to recall the memory rted to Zhan Lin name.


    "Wait a minute. The young master of Zhan n seems to be go with the Lin name. He and grandfather are the sworn brothers. Don''t tell me....?", Lu Huan threw a look at the Zhan family ancestor who was looking at him with a smile on his face.


    "Senior, please forgive my disrespect but may I know you your name?", Lu Huan looked towards Zhan Lin with a expectant look on his face.


    Zhan Lin chuckled after seeing the confused yet expectant look on the face of Lu Huan.


    "Brat, no need to guess anymore. I am Zhan Lin. Your grandfather and I are sworn brothers for entire life", Zhan Lin spoke.


    "Brat!", Lu Huan felt awakward after hearing the word of Zhan Lin. He was already getting in the years yet a person still calling him brat. But Zhan family ancestor couldn''t be med as Lu Huan was the grandson of his lifelong brother.


    "Putong!", Lu Huan knelt down and bowed towards Zhan Lin.


    "Senior please ept this kowtow from your junior. My grandfather missed you very much. On his behalf as a descendant of his, it is my duty to give respect to you", Lu Huan spoke.


    "Rise", Zhan Lin moved his hand and lifted up Lu Huan by a gust of gentle energy.


    "It has been four hundred years since Ist met your grandfather. Looks like he couldn''t break through the barrier before the Heaven ruler realm", Zhan Lin looked towards Lu Huan.


    A reverent look appeared in the eyes of Lu Huan after hearing the term ''Heaven ruler realm''. It is the dream of every cultivators to reach that legendary ream.


    "Yes senior, my grandfather remained struck at the heavenly lord realm. He couldn''t breakthrough and reach the peak of the cultivation path", Lu Huan replied.


    --------------


    "Ling''er,e here", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er after Li Shu got down from his dragon. Ling''er was already ready as she was looking at Zhan Chen with an expectant look on her face.


    She nodded her head immediately after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She threw a look at the little brother of Zhan Chen and her pretty cheeks reddened further.


    Ling''er moved towards Zhan Chen and stopped after reaching near the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "What are you waiting for? Sit on it", Zhan Chen pointed towards his little brother. Ling''er blushed as she saw the heated gaze of Zhan Chen. She ced her waist on top of Zhan Chen''s dragon and sat on it.


    "Ahhhhh~", Ling''er let out a sweet moan as her little sister got prated by the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    She pushed herself slightly and Zhan Chen''s dragon reached further inside her sacred cave.


    "So big!", Ling''er murmured as she held the base of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself anymore as he stretched his hands and held the waist of Ling''er.


    "Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhh~", Ling''er started to moan sweetly as Zhan Chen started to move her body up and down.


    Zhan Chen moved his waist along with his hands and with every thrust of his, Ling''er felt an unprecedented wave of pleasure Inside her body.


    "Ahhhhhh~ young master~", Ling''er moaned as she ced her two slender hands on Zhan Chen''s belly. Zhan Chen was relentless as he continued to thrust his mighty dragon inside Ling''er''s cave.


    After so much intimate activities, Zhan Chen was also reaching his limit. He moved his waist and his dragon continued to prate the little sister of Ling''er.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhg~young master, It ising", Ling''er spoke as she released a stream of yin water from her sacred cave. Zhan Chen thrusted his dragon for few more times as his dragon twitched by the sheer amount of pleasure.


    He moved Ling''er''s from his waist and sat up. "Ling''er take it inside your mouth. I will release my yang essence inside you", Zhan Chen spoke as he threw a heated gaze at Ling''er.


    Ling''er nodded her head and stood on his all four. Zhan Chen stood up on his knees and thrusted his dragon inside the mouth of Ling''er.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Zhan Chen moved his waist and Ling''er also copearated with her mouth. Her little tongue teased the dragon of Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen thrusted his dragon inside her mouth.


    "Mmmmm~", Ling''er let out an sweet sound as Zhan Chen released his yang essence inside Ling''er''s mouth. Ling''er gulped down his Yang essence and swiped the head of Zhan Chen''s dragon with her tongue.


    "Take a rest first. I will take care of other girls", Zhan Chen spoke as he took out his dragon from Ling''er''s mouth.


    He noticed Shen Ruyan''s gaze after freeing his dragon from Ling''er''s mouth. Su''er and Li Shu was still resting after the earlier intimate activity.


    Zhan Chen decided to entertain Shen Ruyan first as he looked towards the direction of Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan threw a shy look at Zhan Chen''s dragon as she felt surprised by the still standing dragon of Zhan Chen.


    An expectant look appeared in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Come here", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Shen Ruyan nodded her head and came near Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen cupped the pretty face Shen Ruyan and nted a kiss on her full lips.


    Shen Ruyan also copearated passionately and both of their tongues became entangled with eachother. Zhan Chen tasted the fragrant saliva of Shen Ruyan as he tasted every inch of Shen Ruyan''s mouth with his tongue.


    Shen Ruyan also tried to take in the manly smell of Zhan Chen as much as she could. She moved her pink tongue around the tongue of Zhan Chen. A line of saliva joined their mouths even after both of their lips separated.


    Shen Ruyan ced a hand on Zhan Chen''s chest as she looked at Zhan Chen with a passionate look on her face.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes were also full of love as he looked towards Shen Ruyan. He took in her beautiful lips once again and both of them shared a passionate kiss with eachother.


    "Zhan Chen, I love you", Shen Ruyan spoke and moved her face towards Zhan Chen on her own. Experts of her Shen n are going to reach tomorrow morning. So, she wanted to share some moments with Zhan Chen before the arrival of his n members.


    Zhan Chen was happy to oblige as he reciprocated the emotion of Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan felt hot all over her body after sharing some passionate moments with Zhan Chen.


    She stretched her hand and ced it on Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen''s dragon was still standing proudly despite the numerous batteles it had fought.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled as it felt the smooth touch of Shen Ruyan''s palm. Zhan Chen let her stroke his dragon as he grabbed her tall peaks with his hand.


    Shen Ruyan''s breath became rushed after Zhan Chen started to massage her snowy peaks. She threw an inviting nce at Zhan Chen as her body desired for primordial love.


    Zhan Chen turned the body of Shen Ruyan and pushed her body lightly. Shen Ruyan crouched down as she supported her body by cing her hands on the side of the bed.


    Zhan Chen squeezed her perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. a little. Then he pointed his spear towards her little sister.


    After rubbing his dragon few times on her entrace, he pushed it inside the sacred cave of Shen Ruyan.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 98 - Breaking Through To True Essence Realm

    "Who said you that Heaven ruler realm is the peak realm?", Zhan Lin looked towards Li Huan.


    Senior, are you referring to the realm above Heaven ruler realm? The sages....?", Lu Huan looked towards Zhan Lin with a skepital look on his face.


    Zhan Lin shook his head.


    "Sages? even we had few of them at the peak of our glory. I am talking about the realm beyond that. That legendary realm one can attain after surpassing the mortal world", Zhan Lin spoke as a yearning look appeared in his aged face.


    "A realm beyond sage! The immortal realm of myths! Senior, do you really believe in those ancient stories", Li Huan looked towards Zhan Lin.


    "A myth! Don''t be stupid. There is always someone better than us. A world better than ours. Have not you ever heard that our founding ancestor and few of our Zhan n ancestors managed to shed their mortal body and climbed the stairs to heaven?", Zhan Lin looked towards Li Huan.


    Li Huan shook his head as he heard the words of Zhan family ancestor with amazement in his eyes.


    Their conversationsted for an hour and a yearning look appeared on the face of Li Huan by the time he ended his conversation with Zhan Lin.


    "Many thanks senior for your guidance. I will remember your words and strive hard to breakthrough my current realm", Li Huan spoke.


    Zhan Lin nodded his head as a pleased expression appeared on his face. The grandson of his dear brother seemed to be a filial person. So, he didn''t have any problem in guiding Li Huan.


    "Senior, I will visit youter. If you have any order for me please speak it. Our Lu family will not hesitate even if you tell us to tread on the fire", Lu Huan spoke.


    "No need to tread on fire", Zhan Lin chuckled after hearing Lu Huan''s words.


    "But, there is a thing I am feeling concerned about. It is rted to my Zhan n''s little brat", Zhan Lin spoke.


    "Senior, please tell. What are you nning to do with him?", Lu Huan asked. He knew the current circumstances of Zhan n. So, it was no surprise to him if Zhan Lin told him to do something for the current Zhan family younger generation.


    "I have no nning for him. That brat has his own path to tread. I just need you to send some of your experts to watch over his safety", Zhan Lin spoke.


    "Ok, senior. I will arrange it and send them here", Lu Huan spoke.


    "No need to send your experts here. That brat is leaving for the grand sectpetition with the Shen family girl. Just watch over him untill he joins a sect of his liking", Zhan Lin added.


    -----------------


    Zhan Chen prated Shen Ruyan''s cave with his dragon.


    "Ahhhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned as he felt Zhan Chen''s dragon prating her from behind.


    Zhan Chen grabbed the milky white thighs of Shen Ruyan and thrusted his dragon deep inside her cave.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen gave her some deeper thrust.


    Zhan Chen increased his pace and Shen Ruyan continued to let out her soul stirring moans.


    After few minutes, Zhan Chen lifted her up from her waist and made half of Shen Ruyan''s body lie in the bed. Her legs were dangling down from the bed as her pretty b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. stayed in an inviting position for Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen went over and pierced her little sister with his dragon. He started to move his waist as an erotic sound of flesh colliding reveberated in the air.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah", an erotic sound came out as Zhan Chen''s body collided with the perky b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. of Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan lifted her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. up and made it easy for Zhan Chen to pierce her little sister. Zhan Chen continued to thrust and after sometime Shen Ruyan released a stream of fragrant yin water.


    Zhan Chen gave a kiss on her neck and looked towards Su''er and Li Shu. Both of the girls were already looking at him with expectant gaze.


    "Come over", Zhan Chenmanded Su''er and Li Shu.


    Su''er and Li Shu nodded their heads and went to the border of bed where Zhan Chen was standing with his raised spear.


    "Get on your four and show your back towards me", Zhan Chen spoke to Su''er and Li Shu. Both of the girls blushed but still followed after his instruction.


    Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on the cave entrances of both of the girls. Su''er and Li Shu trembled by the teasing of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on Li Shu''s cave and instead of prating her, he prated inside Su''er''s cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Su''er moaned as Zhan Chen prated her from behind. Zhan Chen moved his waist fiercely as his dragon ploughed the little sister of Su''er.


    At the epitome of Su''er''s pleasure, Zhan Chen switched his dragon to Li Shu''s cave. His exchange continued as he ploughed the little sister of both of the girls. Finally he deposited his yang esssnce inside the cave of Li Shu.


    "Miss Shu, you should cultivate now", Zhan Chen spoke as he caressed his hand on Li Shu''s back.


    "Su''er, you can take a rest. I will cultivate for a while", Zhan Chen spoke. He threw a look at Shen Ruyan and Ling''er. Then, he moved away from the bed and sat on the ground.


    His body had already absorbed the yin essence of four of the girls. All he needed now was to push his cultivation to the next realm.


    The divine Yinyang diagram on his dantian lit up as he operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra.


    The divine Yinyang diagram absorbed the yin energy gathered in his body and turned it into pure streams of essence energy. Zhan Chen channeled thepletely purified essence energy into his all fifty six meridians.


    The pure essnce energy circted through all of his meridians as theypleted a full cycle. Zhan Chen persisted through his effort as he circted the essence energy inside his body.


    Afterpleting few cycles, the essence energy fully umted inside his body. Zhan Chen knew it was time as he tried to transform the streams of pure essence energy flowing inside his body.


    The most basic form of heaven and earth energy was essence energy. It could be cultivated in Essence gathering realm and Meridian opening realm. After Meridian opening realm came the True essence realm where the heaven and earth energy got into a major transformation and became more pure and powerful. The transformed energy was called True essence energy.


    Zhan Chen operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and the divine Yinyang diagram on his dantian continued to provide him with pure stream of essence energy. Zhan Chen channeled his essnce energy inside his meridians and the pure essence energypleted one cycle after another inside his body.


    After cultivating for few hours, the essence energy of Zhan Chen started to show the signs of transformation. Zhan Chen didn''t stop operating the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and after few minutes, his essence energy finally started to transform.


    The umted streams of essence energy thinned out as they integrated with each other. Finally the thick strands essence energy turned into strings of much powerful True essence energy.


    One string of True essence energy was made up of huge umtion of heaven and earth essence energy. Thus, the true essence energy was much more powerful than heaven and earth essence energy.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop operating the Celestial Yin Yang sutra as he continued to transform his essnce energy into strands of True essence energy.


    Beside him, Li Shu and Ling''er was also cultivating. Both of them were sitting crosslegged and cultivating the Yin nourishing technique that Zhan Chen had taught to them.


    "Su''er, is your cultivation alright? You have jumped several stages in few days?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Su''er.


    "Young miss, I am alright. Moreover, my meridians have strengthened after I cultivated with young master", Su''er spoke with a blush on her pretty face.


    Shen Ruyan nodded her head but a look of amazement appeared in her eyes.


    "How inconceivable! Just by cultivating with him, a girl can increase his cultivation by several levels. Such things should not spread to outside. Otherwise, many will covet his cultivation technique in future", Shen Ruyan murmured in an audible voice.


    "Young miss, no need to worry. I will tell Ling''er and miss Shu to keep it a secret", Su''er spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head with a serious look on her face.


    As the young miss of Shen n, she had many responsibilities and things to consider. So, she understood how cruel the cultivation world was when it came to precious cultivation technique or treasure.


    "Su''er, I am going to my room. I don''t know who ising from my Shen n this time. So, it is better to stay cautious", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    Good night, young miss. I will inform


    miss Shu and Ling''er about your thought", Su''er spoke.


    "Good night", Shen Ruyan spoke and left after throwing a nce towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes after several hours. He looked around and found Li Shu and Ling''er still cultivating. His gaze fell on Su''er who was sitting in a kneeling position on her bed.


    "Young master", Su''er called out after noticing Zhan Chen''s gaze towards her. "Why are you not sleeping?", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er with a smile.


    "Young master, I am guarding you, Ling''er and miss Shu. What if someone came and disturb you while you are cultivating?", Su''er replied.


    "Thanks for your good work then", Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing the words of Su''er. "There is only an hour left for the morning. I should go and settle the remaining things", Zhan Chen spoke to Su''er.


    Su''er nodded her head and followed Zhan Chen outside her room. Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her forehead and descended the stairs of the Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    The Firecloud treasure pavilion was still closed for public entry. Zhan Chen opened up the side door and walked outside.


    He picked up his horse and rode towards the Zhan family estate. The guards were already acquainted with the odd timings of Zhan Chen. So, they didn''t feel surprised when they saw him in the early morning.


    Zhan Chen went to his room after climbing up the stairs to his Zhan family. Sun was yet to show up.. So, he decided to lie down a little.

 Chapter 99 - A Conversation Between Nephew And Uncle

    Zhan Chen lied in his bed leisurely as he waited for the sun to rise. He was feeling refreshed after his breakthrough. So, there was no need for actual sleep.


    Sun eventually came out from the shadow of the distance mountain. Zhan Chen came out from his bed and walked towards the door of his room.


    Before he could open his door, he felt something and turned his eyes towards the distant sky.


    "A Martial ascension realm expert!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after spreading his soul consciousness to the surrounding. He felt curious and kept an eye on the expert who was flying towards his family estate.


    The Martial ascension realm expert stopped after reaching the boundary of Zhan estate. He walked towards the Zhan family guards who were guarding the gate of Zhan family.


    "Senior, are you here to visit the Zhan family?", one of the Zhan family guard asked the Martial ascension realm expert.


    Other Zhan family guards also had a respectful look in their eyes as they looked towards the expert who had just descended from the sky.


    The leader of the Zhan family guards was an old soldier of the Red cloud kingdom. His expression changed after he saw the face of the Martial ascension realm expert.


    "Greetings, my king. Pardon this old soldier for not recognising you earlier", the Zhan family guard leader spoke after kneeling with one knee.


    Surprised look appeared in the eyes of other Zhan family guards after they heard the words of their leader. Their gaze became more respectful towards the expert who was standing infront of them.


    "Stand up", there is no need to kneel", the Martial ascension realm expert looked towards the kneeling guard leader.


    The guard leader stood up and looked towards the old king of Red cloud kingdom. The old king was looking aged but his eyes were still sharp like before.


    "My king, are you here to visit the Zhan family?", the guard leader asked.


    "Yes, I am here to visit sister Yue", the old king of Red cloud kingdom replied.


    "Madam!", the leader of Zhan family guards felt surprised after hearing the reply of the old king.


    "What is the problem? Is there any issue in meeting her?", the old king looked towards the leader of the Zhan family guards.


    "No my king, there is no problem. Madam will be happy to see you after such a long period", the leader of the Zhan family guards replied hurriedly.


    The old king of Red cloud kingdom nodded his head and strode towards the stairs. The leader of the Zhan family guards followed after him hurriedly as both of them walked towards the central area of Zhan family estate.


    "Royal family! what is their motive in visiting grandmother?", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Forget it, I should go and visit eldest uncle", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He opened the door of his room and walked out.


    "Young master", excited voice of little Tao came to his ears after he opened the door. Zhan Chen looked forward and saw little Tao standing inforont of his room.


    "Little girl", Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the look on the face of little Tao.


    Little Tao was looking very cute today. She had tied her hair with two buns over her head. She was looking very lovely with the two bubbly buns over her head.


    "Young master, when did youe yesterday? I have not seen you untillte night", little Tao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen went over and caressed her two lovely buns. Little Tao blushed but a sweet feeling rose in her heart.


    "You don''t have to worry about it. I have returned just two hours ago", Zhan Chen smiled towards little Tao.


    "Now apany me to the ce of eldest uncle. I have some important matter to discuss with him", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Little Tao nodded her head and left with Zhan Chen towards the ce of Zhan Huan, the eldest master of Zhan family estate.


    Zhan Huan was sitting in his courtyard with the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen. Both of them smiled after seeing Zhan Chening towards them with little Tao.


    "Little Chen", the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen called out.


    Zhan Chen smiled towards both of his eldest aunt and uncle. "Greetings uncle, greetings eldest aunt", Zhan Chen greeted the couple.


    "Come, sit here", Zhan Huan pointed towards the nearby chairs. Zhan Chen nodded his head and joined the couple.


    "Little Tao, no need to stand there in distance. Come over and sit with us", Jie Ranqing, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen looked towards little Tao.


    Little Tao threw a look at Zhan Huan. Zhan Huan gave her an amiable smile after seeing the conflict in her eyes. Little Tao felt assured and came over. Zhan Chen pointed towards a chair near him and little Tao sat down.


    "Little Chen, you are rather busy in these days. You have not visited us even once", Zhan Huan teased Zhan Chen.


    "Uncle, you have just returned one day ago. I think it will not be good if I disturb you guys", Zhan Chen looked towards his eldest uncle and aunt.


    Jie Ranqing blushed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. Her face reddened as she recalled how intese the yesterday was.


    But she quickly controlled herself and red at Zhan Chen with mock anger on her face. Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing his eldest aunt''s expression.


    Zhan Huan chuckled as he noticed the exchange between his nephew and wife. "Little Chen, your tongue is getting more glib. Looks like you are training your skill to getting more girls", Zhan Huan spoke.


    Their idle conversation went on for few minutes. Zhan Huan''s expression became serious after Zhan Chen spoke him about the deal with Xu family.


    A surprised expression appeareared on his face after he heard the idea of Xu Wenhong. "This fatty is a genius", Zhan Huan muttered after listening the description of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen also nodded his head as he had recognised the astonishing talent of fatty in doing business. "His idea is not bad but we need to discuss the details with him", Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt spoke from the side. There was an excited expression on her face as she was thinking about implementing the idea of Xu Wenhong for Zhan family.


    "Then we will leave the discussion part to you. I will organise the soldiers required", Zhan Huan spoke to his wife.


    Jie Ranqing nodded her head as she had an interest in business rted works. All the treasure and resources of Zhan family was overseen by her. So, she found the idea of Xu Wenhong interesting as soon as she heard about it from Zhan Chen.


    "Uncle, what is the deal with royal family? I am nning to deal with them but I thought it will be good if I discuss it with you", Zhan Chen looked towards his uncle.


    Zhan Huan looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised look on his face. "What are you nning to do with the royal family?", he looked towards Zhan Chen. Jie Ranqing also looked towards Zhan Chen with a serious look on her face.


    "After all the thing they have done, it is unlikely that father, second uncle and you will fight for the royal family again", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Huan nodded his head after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    "You are right. I am nning to visit the royal family and infrom them about the decision of our brothers. They didn''t do anything even when our Zhan family people were getting killed. To make matter worst, they are even cutting the weapon supplies for our army. I don''t care what is the problem of current king with our family but it is enough. I can''t do anymore injustice to our brothers", Zhan Huan spoke.


    There was a hint of anger in his calm looking face. Jie Ranqing stretched her hand and ced it on her husband''s thighs. Zhan Huan took a breath to calm down himself. Then he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "What are you nning to do? I will agree with you as long as you not do anything drastic", Zhan Huan spoke to Zhan Chen.


    "I am not nning anything major. I am just thinking about cutting down all rtionship with the royal family. We have our own subordinate families and our own allies. I am nning to take all of those who are willing to follow our family into our wing. Royal family will have no control over our subordinates. We will stay in Red cloud kingdom but we will be a force of our own. The royal family will have no say in our matters", Zhan Chen spoke.


    A thoughtful look appeared in the face of Zhan Huan after he heard the words of Zhan Chen. It wasmon sense that every forces of a kingdom was under the rule of royal family. What Zhan Chen suggesting was unheard of but Zhan Huan found Zhan Chen''s idea eptable after considering the current condition of Zhan family.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 100 - Discussion In The Zhan Family

    "I don''t know what father would have done. But your proposal is not bad. We can do our own things. I will seek the opinion of mother about it", Zhan Huan spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head in return.


    "There is also another matter", Zhan Chen looked towards his uncle.


    "Speak", Zhan Huan looked towards Zhan Chen. Jie Ranqing also looked towards Zhan Chen with a questioning look on her face.


    "What is the purpose of royal family visiting us now?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "When did royal family visit us?", Zhan Huan replied with a confused look on his face. Jie Ranqing also felt confused as she couldn''t recall any visit from the royal family.


    "Currently an expert of royal family hase to see grand mother. Uncle Zhen Wang has apined him to see her", Zhan Chen exined.


    "An expert from royal family!", Zhan Huan eximed. Jie Ranqing also felt confused as she and Zhan Huan exchanged look with eachother. Zhan Huan called a guard posted outside his livingplex and sent him to inquire about the matter.


    They didn''t have to waitmuch. As the guard returned after a little amount of time.


    "General", the guard bowed towards Zhan Huan after returning.


    "Speak. Who hase to visit mother?", Zhan Huan looked towards the guard.


    "General, it is old king. He is currently talking with old madam in the guest hall", the soldier replied respectfully.


    An amazed look appeared in the eyes of Zhan Huan after he heard the reply of the guard. He sent away the guard and looked towards Jie Ranqing and Zhan Chen.


    "He has finallye out. Little Chen, don''t think about the matter of royal family for now. Let the old king meet with mother first", Zhan Huan spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head as he could understand the meaning behind the words of his uncle.


    The old king of Red cloud kingdom had very good rtionship with the Zhan family. The old king and the grandfather of Zhan Chen used to be good friend with eachother. So, Zhan Chen decided to see the attitude of his grandmother first.


    He bade his farewell to his uncle and aunt and left with little Tao. Little Tao followed after him and both of them went to see Zhan Chen''s mother.


    "Chen-er", Li Qingzhao felt happy after seeing his son in early morning. Zhan Long was also with her. The entire family of Zhan Long, Li Qingzhao and Zhan Chen sat together and talked with eachother. Little Tao was also made to sit with them and listened the entire conversation of Zhan Long, Li Qingzhao and Zhan Chen.


    "Chen-er, I want to see father. It has been years since I have seen him", Li Qingzhao spoke to Zhan Chen as a look of reminiscence appeared on her pretty face.


    "Then go and visit him. I am sure he is regretting his past decision now", Zhan Chen smiled towards his mother.


    Li Qingzhao nodded her head. She went out and took out a box from her room. After opening the box, a set of scrolls became exposed to everyone''s eyes.


    "See it", Li Qingzhao took out a letter and gave it to Zhan Long. Zhan Long smiled slightly after reading the content of the letter.


    "Mother, what is written in the scroll?", Zhan Chen asked Li Qingzhao.


    He felt curious after seeing the smile on his father''s face. Li Qingzhao smiled sweetly after hearing the question of her son.


    "This is sent to me by mother. She had asked me to visit them many time. But I have not replied to her even once", Li Qingzhao spoke.


    "Then, mother you should visit them. I am sure grandfather will be happy after seeing you after such a long time", Zhan Chen encouraged his mother.


    He knew about the issue of his maternal grandparent with his parents. So, considering the situation, it would be best if his grandparents could ept his parents love for eachother.


    Zhan Chen talked with his parents happily but their conversation interrupted by the arrival of a Zhan family guard.


    "General", the guard bowed after reaching near Zhan Long, Li Qingzhao and Zhan Chen.


    "What is the matter?", Zhan Long looked towards the guard.


    "General, old madam has sent me to call you. Pleasee with me to the guest hall", the guard spoke in a respectful manner.


    Zhan Long nodded his head and looked towards Zhan Chen and Li Qingzhao.


    "You two, mother and son talk with eachother. I am going to see mother", Zhan Long spoke and left with the Zhan family guard.


    -----------------


    In the guest hall of Zhan family, an old man and old woman was sitting opposite to eachother. The old man had an amiable appearance but his pair of sharp eyes giving him an intimidating look.


    The old woman was looking slightly feeble. But her curved brows and deep eyes were showing her uniqueness from other woman.


    The old man was the old king of Red cloud kingdom and the old woman was the mother of three generals, the head of the currently renowned Zhan family of the Red cloud kingdom.


    "Sister Yue, I hope you can understand my difficulty. I am in seclusion and in the few days I have not seen Wushang, he had done such things", the old king looked towards Si Yue.


    "Big brother Guang, you don''t have to say anything. I will talk with Huan-er, Fan-er and Long-er", Si Yue spoke to Zi Guang, the old king of the Red cloud kingdom.


    The old king of Red cloud kingdom nodded his head as a grateful look appeared on his face. He had always maintained a good rtionship with the Zhan family and now after seeing Si Yue, she had not disappointed him.


    "Sister Yue, I am going them. I wish we can forge a much better rtionship between our families", Zi Guming spoke.


    Si Yue nodded her head and Zi Guming walked out of the guest hall of the royal family. There was a rxed look on his aged face when he came out from the guest hall.


    "Young miss, what is the motive of this old fox?", old woman Mumu appeared near Si Yue and asked.


    Si Yue had a calm look on her aged face. She threw a look towards the direction where the old king of Red cloud kingdom had walked off.


    "Aunt, this is nothing. I have never tried to interfere in the rtionship between Hanshan and Zi Guang. But it is a fact that Zi Guang has always tried to take advantage of Hanshan.


    After the disappearance of Hanshan, Zi family has visited us only once. That also after finding out the talent of Long-er.


    Now after so much things has happened, he still has the face to appear before me", Si Yue spoke.


    "Then what are nning to do with them? That old bastard most be nning to take advantage of the Zhan family again", old woman Mumu looked towards Si Yue.


    "Aunty rx. This time he also knew he has no option. He has proposed some interesting offer to salvage the rtionship between us and the Zi family. I can only ept his offer with open hands", Si Yue chuckled.


    "Mother", Zhan Huan was the first to arrive in the guest hall. Zhan Fan and Zhan Long walked after him and reached the guest hall.


    "Mother, granny Mumu", three of them greeted Si Yue and old woman Mumu.


    "Long-er, Fan-er, Huan-er", Si Yue smiled after seeing his three sons. She was thinking that it would be impossible for her to walk out in open again but a miracle happened. She could finally live again with her family.


    "Mother, what is the matter? I heard king Guang has visited you?", Zhan Huan asked So Yue.


    "You three, sit first. We can discuss about such trivial matterstter", Si Yue smiled towards her three sons.


    Zhan Huan, Zhan Fan and Zhan Long nodded their heads and sat beside Si Yue. Old woman Mumu also took her seat and sat beside her young miss.


    "Fan-er, what is the situation with the family of Xuehua? Are they still telling her toe back??", Si Yue looked towards his second son.


    "Mom, they have caused problem initially. But they have stopped causing trouble in these past few years", Zhan Fan replied to his mother.


    "Hmm, that is good then. Her family is slightly special. It is good that they allowed Xuehua to stay here", Si Yue spoke.


    His gaze moved towards Zhan Long and an affectionate look appeared in her eyes. Every mother had a soft spot for her younger son and she was no exception.


    "Long-er, I heard you will be breaking through to Core condensation realm?", Si Yue asked Zhan Chen''s father.


    "Yes mother, I will attempt my breakthrough after Chen-er leaves. There shouldn''t be any problem with breaking through to Core Condensation realm", Zhan Long replied.


    "Then, do you need any pill or treasure? Tell me I will arrange it for you", Si Yue asked.


    "No mother, there is no need. After using the Marrow nourishing liquid of Chen-er, I feel like there is no need for other treasures", Zhan Long spoke.


    "Huan-er, what is your situation? Have you found your breakthrough point yet?", Si Yue looked towards his eldest son.


    Zhan Huan shook his head helplessly. Si Yueforted him and started the conversation about the royal family.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 101 - Third Princess Of Red Cloud Kingdom

    "What! they are offering up the third princess to Chen-er?", Zhan Long eximed after hearing the proposal of Zi Guang from his mother.


    A surprised expression appeared in the eyes Zhan Huan but he managed to calm down himself after thinking the current rtionship between royal family and Zhan family.


    "I am sure that Zi Wushang is unwilling but he can''t do anything against the will of the old king. Zi Wushang didn''t help us when we need the help of royal family. Rather he was busy in digging hole for the downfall of our Zhan family", Zhan Fanmented. Unlike his brothers, he was far more calm and analyzed the situation as it was.


    "Fan-er is right. All of you must understand that there is no eternal rtionship in the cultivation world. Everything depends upon mutual benefits. As long as it gives them profit, some of the powers can sacrifice even their own members", Si Yue spoke.


    Zhan Huan, Zhan Fan and Zhan Long nodded their heads as they listened the words of their mother. It had been days since they could sit with their mother like this. So, each of them were fully attentive to the words of Si Yue.


    "The current royal family is the biggest example of how far a family can go. They didn''t even bat an eyelid before deciding the future of their brightest descendant. Our Zhan family had only required a little help from royal family to ovee our difficult time. But they forgot about our past rtionship at that time. Now that they havee to us, they must show some sincerity", Si Yue spoke.


    "Mother, why are we even dealing with them? I have no nning to fight for Zi Wushang again", Zhan Fan spoke. Anger could be seen his stern looking face.


    "Who said you are fighting again? Three of you should stay in family and focus on your cultivation", Si Yue looked towards Zhan Fan.


    The anger of Zhan Fan vanished after he heard his mother''s words. The one thing that was his soar spot was cultivation. He was still one step behind from his younger brother.


    "The herb mountain that the royal family was offering us to was not that big but it was enough to sustain our family. I will leave the management of it to you, Huan-er", Si Yue looked towards Zhan Huan.


    "Yes mother, I will send man to take over it", Zhan Huan replied.


    "Ok, you three can go now. Tell little Chen and Qingzhao to visit me. I will inform Qingzhao about this matter", Si Yue spoke.


    "Mother, there is a problem", Zhan Long spoke to Si Yue in a hesitant look on his face. He didn''t want speak about the matters of Zhan Chen. But considering the proposal of royal family, he found it necessary to inform the matters of Zhan Chen to his mother.


    "Speak. What is it?", Si Yue looked towards his youngest son with a smile. Her mood was pretty goodtely. So, she was not that strict with her sons anymore.


    "Mother, Chen-er has found some other girls. It will be a problem if royal family found out about it", Zhan Long spoke.


    "You are telling me that it is a problem?", Si Yue raised her eyebrows. Zhan Long nodded his head in reply. ording to him the number of Zhan Chen''s girls were already enough. So, how can a girl of third princess'' stature fit in such a group?


    "Aunty Mumu, can you believe it? All of them are blokheads like Hanshan. But that is the thing I have liked back then about him", Si Yue smiled towards old woman Mumu.


    "They have yet to see the outside world. Nothing matters as long as you have enough strength to back up", old woman Mumu shook her head.


    "Long-er, no need to worry about it. Royal family wouldn''t say anything even if they know. A capable man does not need to worry about the number of women he posess", Si Yue looked towards his son.


    -----------------


    Zhan Chen spent his time with his mother aftering back from his grandmother''s ce. Little Tao was also aainying him all the time.


    Zhan Chen let little Tao follow after him because he knew how worse her mood would be after he left. Zhan Chen had no problem in bringing her with him but little Tao was too young to experience the world outside.


    "Mother, hold your sword straight. Your sword should move like one of your limbs", Zhan Chen spoke as he corrected the basic sword techniques of his mother.


    Li Qingzhao felt confused when Zhan Chen told her to do her sword practice infront him. No matter how much she believed in her son, she had never thought once that her son was more capable than her in sword. She thought to listen to Zhan Chen''s word to make him feel better. But after following the instructions of Zhan Chen, she knew how wrong she was. Zhan Chen was like another person when he held the sword with his hand.


    "Young master, you are amazing", Little Tao cheered from the side after seeing the simple sword moves of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing the words of little Tao.


    "Madam, first madam is calling you to the guest hall. Guests from the royal family has arrived", one of the personal maid of Li Qingzhao came and spoke after bowing her head towards Li Qingzhao.


    "Let''s stop here. Come with me to see the guests", Li Qingzhao spoke to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and followed after his mother to see the guests of royal family.


    "Wow, how beautiful. See, how she walks. No wonder she is the most famous beauty of Red cloud kingdom", the maids of Zhan family were murmuring to eachother when Zhan Chen reached the guest hall with his mother and little Tao.


    He moved his gaze towards the direction where everyone was looking and two beauties appeared in his eyes.


    "See, she is princess Nuan. She has not changed at all. She is as pretty as before", the maids talked between themshelves.


    "But, it is a waste that she decided to not marry anyone. Royal family objected but her cultivation talent is so high that they couldn''t force her to do anything", one of the maid spoke.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up as he saw the two beauties infront of him. Third princess was as pretty as before but his gaze was focused on the mature beauty beside her.


    He could feel the urging of his little brother underneath his robe. This was the first time he found someone irresistible after his memory came back. The Celestial Yin Yang sutra was ying its role here as Zhan Chen''s desire was getting more intense everyday.


    Yang will be attracted to yin. That was thew of the nature. Moreover with all the experiences he had gotten so far, his desire for women was rising in a first pace.


    Zhan Chen felt something and turned his gaze towards his mother. His mother had a ufortable look on her face as she was looking at the mature beauty beside third princess.


    "Mother, what is the matter?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Ah! Chen-er, it is nothing. It is just that I am not expecting her toe with the third princess", Li Qingzhao replied.


    "Fourth sister, little Chen,e here", Jie Ranqing, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen saw Zhan Chen, Li Qingzhao and called out.


    Si Yue was not present. So, it was the duty of Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt to entertain the guests. A banquet was arranged for the royal family and the women of Zhan family, two pretty guests of royal family and Zhan Chen participated in it.


    Zhan Chen felt some gazes on him from time to time. It was the third princess who was looking at him more often. There was also the big beauty beside her who was also looking towards Zhan Chen from time to time. Although there was nothing but curiousity in her pretty eyes.


    After the banquet, the big beauty left with Zhan Chen''s aunts. Zhan Chen''s mother also followed after his aunts as they left Zhan Chen alone with third princess.


    The name of the third pricess was Zi Mingxi. He and Zhan Chen were acquaintances since childhood and both had good rapport with eachother when they were child. The old king of Redcloud kingdom had thought to use it as leverage and sent her to Zhan family.


    Zi Mingxi was too shy to even look at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t want her to feel any difort. So, he started the conversation first.


    "Princess, how have you been?", Zhan Chen asked gently.


    "I am fine", Zi Mingxi spoke and shyly took a look at the handsome face of Zhan Chen.


    She had a natural charm to her but her beauty was gentle type. She had such a gentle appearance that even the fierce beasts of endless forest would hesitate to harm her.


    Her unique ability confirmed her gentle appearance. She had the rare wood element affinity which was different from other warriors of Red cloud kingdom.


    "Princess, you know everything. It is a setup between our families. But still I want to ask you first. If you are not willing, then no one can force you to do anything", Zhan Chen spoke to Zi Mingxi.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 102 - There Is Something I Need From You

    "Young master Chen, you are still so kind. Royal father has wronged your family so much yet you don''t seem to have anything against me", Zi Mingxi spoke. Her words were like the singing of an oriole which soothed the mind and heart of Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, you jest. How can I have any resentment towards you no matter what is the reason?", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zi Mingxi.


    Zi Mingxi also smiled slightly but moved her gaze away due to embarassment. She was always such a lovely girl and Zhan Chen didn''t find any changes despite the years he had not seen her.


    "Then what about the agreement? If you find it disagreeable then you can say so", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Mingxi.


    "I don''t have any problem with it. It is just that it is slightly rushed and I don''t know what to do with it", Zi Mingxi replied with a shy voice. Her cheeks became reddened as she voiced. her opinion to Zhan Chen.


    "What about you, young master Chen? Do you like me?", Zi Mingxi asked while drawing circles with her left toe. She didn''t even look at Zhan Chen due to embarassment. But her heart beat became quickened as a feeling of nervousness and anticipation flooded her mind.


    Zhan Chen looked at Zi Mingxi who was doing her best to not look at him. Her cheeks were reddened as if she had asked some embarrassing question.


    Zhan Chen felt his hear melting after seeing such a lovely appearance of Zi Mingxi.


    "Princess, your charm is so great and I still have a heart here. So, how can I said that I am not interested?", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zi Mingxi.


    Zi Mingxi felt rxed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen but his next words made her feel ufortable again.


    "But there is something which you don''t know about me. I have already epted some girls as my women. So, I don''t know what do you think about it?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Mingxi with a serious look on his face. It was amon truth and Zhan Chen want Zi Mingxi to make her own choice after knowing about such things.


    He was fine with either of her decision. Zi Mingxi was someone who Zhan Chen considered as a friend and he wouldn''t hide such matters from her which would made her sad in future.


    Zi Mingxi became silent for some moments as she didn''t know what to say. Some childhood memories crept up to her mind as she threw a look at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had a focused look in his eyes as he was waiting for her decision patiently. Zi Mingxi could feel his concern towards her from his eyes.


    "Young master Chen, I don''t have any opinion about others. It will be good as long as you agree to marry me", Zi Mingxi spoke as she looked towards Zhan Chen with her limpid eyes.


    Zhan Chen looked at the charming face of Zi Lingxi. He didn''t give any reply to her but he went forward and before she could react, nted a kiss on her beautiful lips.


    Zi Lingxi blushed as she understood what just happened. She threw a look at Zhan Chen who was leaving the guest hall.


    "Princess, you can''t run away now. You are my, Zhan Chen''s woman from now on", Zhan Chen spoke without turning his back towards Zi Lingxi.


    Zi Lingxi felt sweet in her heart as she looked towards Zhan Chen without blinking her pretty eyes. Only a sound of giggling made her came out from her stupor.


    "Girl, what is with your look? It seems like you have fallen for him in your first meet", Zi Nuan asked to her niece.


    "Aunt", Zi Lingxi''s cheeks became reddened like an apple after hearing the teasing of her aunt. Zi Nuan chuckled after seeing the embarassed look on her niece''s face. A look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes but she managed to supress her emotion after a moment.


    "Lingxi, what do that brat say? Is he got any problem with the arrangement?", Zi Nuan asked. ording to her opinion such arrangement was too absurd. She was still angry with her father for such arrangement for Zi Lingxi. But after seeing the appearance of Zi Lingxi, she felt like she was being angry for no reason.


    "Aunt, he has not changed at all. He has agreed to marry me. We have a good conversation with each other", Zi Lingxi spoke in a sweet voice. Her eyes were dreamy as she talked about Zhan Chen. Her expression was like a maiden in love for the first time.


    "A good conversation! Just what did that brat do to her?", Zi Nuan eximed in her mind. The aunts of Zhan Chen entered the guest hall and her attention shifted to the Zhan family people.


    While talking with Zhan Chen''s aunts, Zi Nuan didn''t know that someone was observing her every movement from a distance. Who would it be? It could only be Zhan Chen, the user of Celestial Yin Yang technique.


    Zhan Chen never felt so attracted to a woman. It was a new experience to him. Zi Nuan''s every mover, her words, her walk, her smile, everything felt attractive to him.


    "What a woman! It would be a delight to make her mine", Zhan Chen thought to himself. Zhan Chen never considered doing such things before but his inner desire told him to seduce the woman infront of him no matter what.


    "Damn it! I will make her agree no matter what it takes. Once she agrees, I will make her mine", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    This would be the first serious test of Zhan Chen''s womanizing skills. Infront of him stood a core condensation realm beauty who was proud to her bone. Most important thing was she had dered not to marry anyone in her life. To made her fall in love with him, Zhan Chen need some skills to show that he acquired from his experience and the Profound art of dual cultivation.


    To Zhan Chen''s delight Zi Nuan came towards his livingplex after she had finished her conversation with Zhan Chen''s aunts. There was a slight curiousity in her eyes as she came to meet Zhan Chen.


    Zi Nuan wanted to see just what type of a boy Zhan Chen was. She had heard many things about the capabilities of Zhan family fifth young master. So, she wanted to see for herself just how capable the boy was for whom her father had gambled the life of his most precious grand daughter.


    "Princess, no need to knock. Please enter", the voice of Zhan Chen came when Zi Nuan was just going to knock the door. A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of Zi Nuan as she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She pushed the door and entered the room of Zhan Chen.


    "Wee to my humble abode. May I inquire the purpose of princess for visiting me?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Nuan with a smiling look on his face.


    Zi Nuan felt surprised as Zhan Chen greeted her and asked the purpose of her visit. She had never imagined that Zhan Chen had such a bearing despite his age.


    She controlled her thoughts and looked towards Zhan Chen. She tried to see through Zhan Chen''s cultivation but Zhan Chen was not releasing even a slight bit of his true essence energy to outside. So, it was difficult for anyone to guess his cultivation level.


    "Zhan Chen, what is your cultivation level?", Zi Nuan asked.


    "Why don''t you guess princess? If you said correctly then I may tell you a secret", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zi Nuan.


    "What secret?", Zi Nuan felt curious. A frown also appeared on her face as she felt the behaviour of Zhan Chen was slightly improper.


    "I will tell you if you can defeat me", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan with a provoking look on his face.


    "You....!", Zi Nuan felt incensed after seeing the behaviour of Zhan Chen towards her.


    "What? Don''t you have any power or you are afraid of being defeated? Looks like royal family has no warrior left. That''s why they are gifting away their talented princess", Zhan Chen mocked Zi Nuyan.


    "You dare!", Zi Nuan becamepletely enraged this time. Zhan Chen''s words heat a soar spot of her.


    "What do you want? There is no point in keep angering me like this?", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen with an enraged face.


    She was just going to thrash him but at thest moment she managed to control herself. Giving her intelligence, it didn''t take any time to see through the intention of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had specific purpose in angering her but what made her indignant that Zhan had yed her with his palm since the beginning.


    "Princess, I am sorry. But there is something I need from you. Why don''t we make a gamble. Whoever wins can order anything to his or her opponent", Zhan Chen spoke.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 103 - An Exciting Battle

    "A gamble! I am fine with that. Let me see what game you are ying", Zi Nuan spoke while gritting her teeth. She knew she was ying into Zhan Chen''s hands but her anger got better of her. Moreover, she was not afraid of a mere sixteen year old boy.


    "Thank you princess for agreeing to my request. As for earlier words, I am aplogizing for angering you", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zi Nuan. She was looking so pretty when she was angered. Zhan Chen didn''t want to anger her further unless she blew up.


    "Say it. What do you want?", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, how about fighting with me? If you can defeat me, then you win the gamble", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zi Nuan stood stunned for a moment after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. A smile came to her pretty face after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Are you kidding me?" Zi Nuan asked. She had a look on her face as if she was considering Zhan Chen as a fool.


    "No princess, I am dead serious. You should also take it seriously. I am nning for establishing ancestral vow to prove both of our integrity for the gamble", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan.


    "I don''t know what game you are ying. But it is undeniable that you are impudent and your behaviour is not proper infront of me. Initially, I am not nning to not do anything to you. I feel it will be good as long as you can make Ming''er happy. But now you are taking things too far", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen. She wanted to see through the the thoughts of Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen''s eyes were crystal clear. She couldn''t see through the intention of Zhan Chen.


    "Then princess, we should take the vow. Then we can proceed to fight", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Brat, do you dare to take the vow outside? I want to show your Zhan family how impudent you are", Zi Nuan spoke.


    "Princess, I will do whatever you like. Let''s go to the practice field of our Zhan family. You can invite whoever you want for our battle", Zhan Chen replied. He had no problem with fighting infront of his family. No matter what Zi Nuan was thinking, he knew she couldn''t do anything to him.


    -----------------


    "I don''t know what this brat is thinking but it will good if princess teaches him a lesson", Zhan Chen''s second aunt spoke. All of Zhan Chen''s aunts hade to see the battle between Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan. Zhan Chen''s father and Zhan Chen''s uncles also came to witness the battle.


    "Although it is amusing to trouble the elder princess but what is the need to take things so far? There is no way little Chen can defeat her", Zhan Fan spoke.


    "You thinks he is doing something for fun?", Zhan Huan, the eldest uncle of Zhan Chen looked towards his second brother. Zhan Long also felt curious as he looked towards his elder brother.


    Zhan Fan threw a questioning gaze at his elder brother. He was not that sharp like his elder brother. So, he had yet to understand the works of Zhan Chen.


    "Second brother, little Chen is not simple as you think. Just watch. It will be fun to see little Chen fighting elder princess", Zhan Huan spoke with s smile but didn''t exin much.


    Zhan Fan nodded his head with confusion and looked towards the center of the practice ground. Zhan Long also did the the same as he focused his gaze on his son and Zi Nuan.


    Almost all the members of Zhan family were present to see the battle between Zi Nuan and Zhan Chen. Third princess of Red cloud kingdom was also present as she focused her gaze on Zhan Chen and her aunt.


    "Princess, should we establish the vow?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan.


    "Do whatever you want. Now that everyone is here, I just want to see what tricks you are ying", Zi Nuan spoke.


    "In the name of my Zhan family ancestors, I Zhan Chen vow that I will stick to my words after battling princess Zi Nuan. Whoever wins among us can order his or her opponent to do anything. May heaven smite me, if I renege from my promise", Zhan Chen spoke while keeping his fist above his chest.


    "What a serious vow! What is need to do such things?", Jie Ranqing muttered. Other aunts of Zhan Chen and Li Qingzhao didn''t speak anything but the looks on their faces became much more serious.


    "In the name of my royal ancestors I, Zi Nuan, the daughter of Zi Guang vow that I will abide to all the conditions proposed by Zhan Chen. May heaven smite me, if I renege on my words", Zi Nuan spoke.


    "Pick your weapon", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen after seen her words. Zhan Chen nodded his head and threw a nce towards the sword of one of the guards.


    The guard understood the meaning of Zhan Chen''s gaze and threw his sword to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen caught the sword with one hand and looked towards Zi Nuan.


    "I don''t need a sword to defeat you but I will keep my cultivation at your level and see how capable you are", Zi Nuan spoke. He stretched her hand and took out her sword from her back.


    Her sword was thin and long. She pointed her sword towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen brought his sword infront of him and threw an inviting nce towards Zi Nuan.


    Within blink of an eye, their battle started as the sound of swords shing reveberated in air.


    An astonished expression appeared on the face of Zi Nuan as she kept shing her sword with Zhan Chen''s. Zhan Chen''s sword moves were simple but they appeared perfect to the eyes of Zi Nuan.


    "You are already at True essence realm?", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen with an astonished expression on her face.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as he had nothing to hide. Aura of a True essence realm warrior came from his body as he imbuded his sword with true essence energy.


    "True essence realm?", Jie Ranqing eximed as she looked towards her other sisters with surprise. Li Qingzhao also looked towards her son with amazement. The faces of other spectactors were also same as Zhan Chen revealed his True essence realm cultivation infront of everyone.


    "You are being overconfident just because you have reached True essence realm?", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen. She also imbuded her sword with true essence energy and attacked Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen blocked the sword blow of Zi Nuan easily and countered her move with one of his own.


    The difference between True essence realm and Meridian opening realm was the ability to channel the essence energy outside body. It would be difficult for five peak stage Meridian opening realm cultivators to stop a beginning level True essence realm warrior.


    Zhan Chen channeled his true essence energy to his sword and kept attacking Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan also countered Zhan Chen with her sword moves.


    Essence energy shed with eachother and both Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan fought eachother skillfully. Zhan Chen had a leisurely appearance on his face but Zi Nuan found herself in a disadvantaged position.


    "Let me raise my cultivation slightly. There is no need to keep ying with you at your level", Zi Nuan spoke.


    She raised her cultivation by few stages and attacked Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen still had a leisurely appearance as he countered the essence energy of Zi Nuan effectively.


    Despite raising her cultivation level, Zi Nuan couldn''t find any opportunity to push Zhan Chen. After battling for a while, she couldn''t resist anymore as the aura of a Core condensation realm expert came out from her body.


    "Core condensation realm?", Zhan Huan looked Zi Nuan with surprise in his eyes. "This brat is done for", Zhan Fan murmured as looked towards the direction of Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan.


    The difference between True essence realm and Core Condensation realm was significant as one could use various essence attacking techniques at this stage.


    "Zhan Chen, surrender. I will not do anything to you", Zi Nuan spoke as she released the aura of a Core condensation realm warriorpletely.


    "I have long known your cultivation level but still decided to fight you. True fight between us yet to begin. Let me see your real battle prowcess", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then you can''t me me", Zi Nuan spoke. She waved her sword and a green coloured energy snake came towards Zhan Chen.


    Everyone thought Zhan Chen was done for and Zi Nuan also thought the same. But after the energy snake came near Zhan Chen, Zhan Chen vanished from his ce.


    It was not really vanishing as Zhan Chen used a vary high level movement technique. He appeared near Zi Nuan''s location. Another sword fight started between Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan as Zhan Chen didn''t give any time to Zi Nuan touch her attack.


    "What kind of movement technique this is?", ZI Nuan thought to herself as Zhan Chen kept avoiding her sword easily with his movement technique.


    Zhan Chen suddenly stopped on his track as Zi Nuan found another chance touch an attack. "Wind snake of western mountain", she let out a low cry and a thick energy snake moved towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen grinned towards Zi Nuan and used his movement technique.. "Wind cutting sword technique", he roared out andunched himself towards Zi Nuan.

 Chapter 104 - Soul Bewitchment Technique

    "Wind cutting sword technique", Zhan Chen roared out andunched himself towards Zi Nuan.


    Zi Nuan tried to stop Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen moved like swift wind and attacked the sword that Zi Nuan was holding.


    The nging sound of swords came and the sword of Zi Nuan dropped from her hand. Zi Nuan tried to step back but Zhan Chen''s movement was faster than her. He ced the tip of sword on Zi Nuan''s neck.


    "Princess, ept your defeat", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Nuan wanted to retort but she couldn''t think of what to do at this moment.


    "I admit my defeat", Zi Nuan spoke reluctantly.


    "Wow", the spectating soldiers eximed after a moment as they processed what was transpired in the battle between Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan.


    "Young master is mighty"


    "All hail young master Chen", defeaning cries of Zhan family guards reveberated in the ground as Zhan Chen show off his battle prowess infront of his family members.


    Li Qingzhao smiled after seeing the victory of his son over a Core condensation realm expert. Other aunts of Zhan Chen had simr expressions in their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I am not sure if I can defeat this little brat now", Zhan Fan, the second uncle of Zhan Chen spoke.


    "There is no doubt over it. We three are no match infront of little Chen", Zhan Huan spoke. Zhan Long, Zhan Chen''s father did not said anything but there was pride in his eyes when he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Everyone went back to do their own things after the battle between Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan. Zhan Chen''s eldest aunt apained Zi Nuan and Zhan Chen''s third aunt and his mother took third princess of Red cloud kingdom with them.


    Zhan Chen had a conversation with his uncles and father. Then he bade farewell to the group of three brothers and went back to his room.


    He didn''t have to wait longer as Zi Nuan returned to meet him after few minutes. She had a slightly embarassed look on her face as she didn''t know what to say to Zhan Chen.


    "Who could have known that this little brat had such a trick? I don''t know what game he is ying", Zi Nuan thought to herself while walking towards Zhan Chen''s room.


    Zhan Chen was teasing little Tao in his courtyard. He noticed the distant Zi Nuan and a grin appeared on his face.


    "Young master is looking evil", little Tao secretly thought after seeing the grin on the face of Zhan Chen.


    "Wee princess. I am waiting for your arrival", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zi Nuan.


    Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen and both of their eyes met with eachother. Zi Nuan tried to see through the desire of Zhan Chen but it was not easy for her to see through Zhan Chen.


    "What do you want?", Zi Nuan asked. Zhan Chen smiled as his eyes flickered.


    Before Zi Nuan could think anything her memory was flooded by countless life like pictures. The pictures were the union of man and woman and thd the man was Zhan Chen and the woman was Zi Nuan.


    "What evil art it is!", Zi Nuan cried out after stunned for few moments. Her pretty face reddened as different pictures continued to affect her memory.


    She looked towards Zhan Chen but as soon as her eyes moved to Zhan Chen, he appeared more attractive to her.


    "What is going on?", Zi Nuan couldn''t think of anything as her mind flodded by countless pictures of her and Zhan Chen. Both of their bodies were naked and they were doing various things with eachother. Somewhere she was sitting on top of Zhan Chen and in some pictures, she was lying on her belly and Zhan Chen was sitting on top of her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s.


    The most striking thing was the spear of Zhan Chen which was proudly pointing it''s head towards her. Zi Nuan saw many images of Zhan Chen''s spear inside her lower body part.


    Zi Nuan''s body heat up on her own as the pictures were too much for her maiden heart. Zhan Chen''s evil lust increased as he saw the alluring appearance of Zi Nuan.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know himself what is affecting him so much. Why he had such a strong attraction towards Zi Nuan. It was almost like a monkey''s attraction towards tree and bear''s attraction towards honey, quite natural and irresistible in Zhan Chen''s part.


    Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan and with a single will of his, the life like pictures flooding the mind of Zi Nuan vanished. Zhan Chen may had stopped but many such pictures remain imprinted inside Zi Nuan''s mind.


    Zi Nuan took some time to process her thoughts. She wanted to scold Zhan Chen but something inside her heart made her reluctant. Unknowingly Zhan Chen''s evil technique nted a seed of affection inside her heart.


    Zi Nuan calmed down but no matter how she tried, she couldn''t make eye contact with Zhan Chen. Her maiden heart which had slumbered for thirty two years started to beat once again when she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    A person''s visage appeared in her mind for whom she had vowed to never marry again. Zhan Chen had the same appearance but he was too young for her.


    "Why are you doing this?", Zi Nuan asked Zhan Chen without looking him in his eyes.


    "Princess, you are looking more beautiful when you are embarassed", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zi Nuan blushed but after looking at Zhan Chen, a slightly ufortable feeling rise in her heart. Zhan Chen was too young for her. She didn''t even know why she was feeling this way for Zhan Chen.


    "Little Tao, can you give us a moment alone?", Zhan Chen looked towards little Tao who was standing beside him. Little Tao nodded her head and left but a feeling of jealousness arose in her little heart.


    "Princess, do you know? Why I arrange the gamble between us?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan after little Tao left.


    "I don''t know", Zi Nuan replied with an absent-minded look on her face.


    "The gamble was because I want to make you my woman. And with your defeat I can convince you that I am worthy enough to take you as mine", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But how can it be possible. You are so young and I am thirty two. What will the people of kingdom speak, if they learn about such a thing", Zi Nuan automatically replied without thinking what she was speaking. An unknown feeling had risen in her heart when she was standing besides Zhan Chen.


    The technique that Zhan Chen had applied on Zi Nuan was Soul bewitchment technique, a technique that evil emperor had used to conquer countless women in his life. When a woman fell in contact with such a technique,she couldn''t forget about the user in her lifetime. Such technique directly affected her soul and mind.


    "People of Red cloud kingdom will tell that our princess is mighty and she is the woman of Zhan family young master who can fight the most powerful experts of the continent", Zhan Chen spoke. He was not merely uttering something to coax Zi Nuan. It was his own promation which he had never forgotten, to rise to peak once again.


    Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen and became enamoured by the determined look of Zhan Chen. The sun was setting in the west and it''s golden rays was falling upon Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen became more attractive to Zi Nuan at his current state.


    "Princess, be one of my woman. I promise, I will make you one ofthe most powerful expert of the North desert continent", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan.


    Zi Nuan blushed and looked away. Her resistance towards Zhan Chen melted into thin air as Zhan Chen opened up about his desire infront of her.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself as he saw the charming appearance of Zi Nuan. He pulled her by her hand and nted an agressive kiss on her red lips.


    Zi Nuan wanted to protest but she got overwhelmed by the agressive attack of Zhan Chen on her lips.


    She started to cooperate involuntarily as her lis move in tandem with Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen invaded her mouth with his tongue and tasted her sweet saliva with his tongue.


    Everything felt like a dream to Zi Nuan. She felt like she was having a sweet dream. Before she knew, she was lying on the body of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, do you really like me?", Zi Nuan asked. She thought about the things they had done just now. They kissed eachother and cuddled. They they kissed again and Zhan Chen let Zi Nuan lie on his body.


    Zi Nuan felt sweet in her heart as she looked towards Zhan Chen for answer. Everything felt like fairytale to her. So, she wanted to confirm the things from Zhan Chen.


    (To be continued.......)

 Chapter 105 - Desire Of Zhan Chen

    "Princess, who can resist a girl like you? I have fallen for you since the first time we have met", Zhan Chen replied to Zi Nuan with a smile.


    "But I am so much old already. Your mother also does not like me", Zi Nuan spoke.


    "Your age does not concern me at all. When you reach Martial ascension realm, you can live for two hundred years. So what is if your are older than me by ten years", Zhan Chen retorted.


    "What about your mother? She still bears a grudge with me", Zi Nuan muttered in a worried voice.


    Zhan Chen moved his hand and kept it on the soft back of Zi Nuan. He caressed her back gently and looked towards Zi Nuan.


    "I don''t understand. Why do my mother dislike a girl like you", Zhan Chen looked towards the beauty lying above his chest.


    "Actually the first person I like is your father", Zi Nuan spoke with an embarassed voice in her tone. She shifted her eyes to see if there were any changes in Zhan Chen''s expression but she could only see a look of pampering in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Continue", Zhan Chen encouraged Zi Nuan to speak further.


    "I felt disappointed when I heard the news about your father choosing your mother. I decided not to marry ever and entered seclusion", Zi Nuan spoke.


    "Has father expressed any feelings for you?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Nuan. This question was important because he didn''t want any misunderstanding between himself and his father.


    "He always act polite infront of me. Besides some conversation, we didn''t have any connection with each other. So much days has passed and I have forgot my unrequited love for him", Zi Nuan spoke indifferently. It was slightly awkward but she didn''t want to keep Zhan Chen in dark.


    "Then it is father''s loss. He can only ept you as his daughter inw", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "As for mother, you don''t have to worry. She will be happy to see another daughter inw in her family", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ok, let go of your concerns. We should worry about the thing raging down below", Zhan Chen spoke and moved Zi Nuan''s hand towards his little brother.


    Before Zi Nuan could speak anything, her lips were sealed by Zhan Chen''s own. Zhan Chen ced her hand on his little brother and made her stoke it gently.


    Both could see the desire for eachother whentheir lips parted. Zi Nuan still had some confusion but she still did not resist the advances of Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, I want to see your body", Zhan Chen threw a hot gaze at Zi Nuan.


    "Can you give me some time to think things through. I just need a little time. Moreover, we still are in your Zhan family", Zi Nuan tried to resist the urge of her body and mind as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Fine, but you can''t take too long. I can''t tolerate the agony of your departure for long", Zhan Chen spoke to Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan smiled after hearing the cringy words of Zhan Chen.


    "I just need a little time. Goodbye for now", Zi Nuan spoke and escaped from Zhan Chen''s chest. Zhan Chen came out from his room to see Zi Nuan out. Zi Nuan threw a look at Zhan Chen and left the livingplex of Zhan Chen with a determined look on her face. Her heart was feeling reluctant but she left decisively.


    She knew she had to think things through. Once things went to that step, they couldn''t move back to start.


    Zhan Chen came out to see Zi Nuan and Zi Mingxi out. Zi Mingxi threw some sneaky nces at Zhan Chen as her pretty cheeks reddened. Zhan Chen''s aunts smiled as they noticed the look of Zi Mingxi on Zhan Chen.


    "Goodbye princess. We will meet at the grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master Chen, please take care. I will definitely go to the Grand sectpetition", Zi Mingxi replied.


    A guilty look appeared on the face of Zi Nuan as she heard the conversation between her niece and Zhan Chen. She moved her head away and walked along with Zi Mingxi. But a disappointed look appeared on her heart as Zhan Chen didn''t look at her.


    "Goodbye, princess Nuan", Zhan Chen spoke after talking with Zi Mingxi. The disappointed feeling of Zi Nuan disappeared as she turned to look at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had a burning gaze when he looked at Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan blushed and turned her head away. She was quick to mask her expression but she still couldn''t avoid the detection of Li Qingzhao.


    Two Princess bade their farewell to Zhan family and sat on the royal carraige. Sun was setting. So, they decided to left the Zhan family estate.


    "Little Chen, when are you nning to marry the third princess?", Jie Ranqing, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked.


    The second aunt and third aunt of Zhan Chen also looked towards Zhan Chen as they were curious about the matter between Zhan Chen and Zi Lingxi.


    "There is no hurry. Let her participate in the Grand sectpetition first. We shouldn''t shatter her dream just because our deal between us two families", Zhan Chen replied.


    "She is still young. Let her do as she pleases for sometime", Li Qingzhao nodded her head.


    "And here I am thinking about witnessing a royal wedding", Zhan Chen''s third aunt spoke. A disappointed look was visible on her pretty looking face.


    Zhan Chen could only helplessly smile after hearing the muttering of his third aunt. Zhan Chen''s first aunt and second aunt also felt amused after hearing the words of their third sister.


    Zhan Chen''s aunts and Li Qingzhao talked with eachother for sometime. Zhan Chen could bonly apany them helplessly as his hand was held by his mother.


    "Chen-er, what is the deal with Zi Nuan? Why was she looking at you like this?", Li Qingzhao asked Zhan Chen after her three sisters bade her farewell.


    "Mother, do you have any problem with princess Nuan?", Zhan Chen asked Li Qingzhao with an innocent look on his face.


    "No, why should I have any problem with her? She is pretty and talented. I am only asking because she was looking at you with a different gaze", Li Qingzhao spoke. Her tone was slightly flustered as she didn''t want to talk about Zi Nuan infront of her son.


    "Mother is feeling jealous", Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing the flustered expression of his mother.


    "Mother, will you ept it if I take princess Nuan as my woman", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Qingzhao.


    "What? Zi Nuan?", Li Qingzhao became stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhan Chen with a speechless look on her face.


    "Yes mother. I want to take her as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "There is no problem. But is not she too old for you?", Li Qingzhao looked at his son speechlessly. His son''s apetite was rather big as he wanted to take the elder princess as his woman.


    "Wo cares about age? Once can live for thousand years when they reach the peak in the path of cultivation. There is also that legendary world where one can live for thousand of years after crossing the mortal boundary", Zhan Chen spoke. He eyes sparkled as he talked about the immortal wotrld of legends.


    "Is that something even possible? Reaching the peak and living for thousand years?", Li Qingzhao muttered as she looked towards Zhan Chen with surprise in her face. This was first time she had seen such a desire in his son''s eyes. She felt speechless for a while after hearing the ambition of her son. But her heart swelled up with pride as she could feel the raging blood of Zhan Chen.


    "Chen-er, you have to cultivate properly to reach the aim you are speaking about. You should be dilligent about it", Li Qingzhao spoke.


    "Mother, I will", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Qingzhao nodded her head and went to prepare food for her son.


    "Young master, an old woman from Firecloud treasure pavilion hase to see you", a maid came to the livingplex of Li Qingzhao and informed Zhan Chen.


    "Where is she?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "She is waiting outside the gate", the maid replied.


    "Well, thanks for informing. I am going to visit her straight away. Inform mother if she ask about me", Zhan Chen spoke and left the livingplex of his parents.


    Liu Nanxi was already waiting outside of Zhan family gate when Zhan Chen reached there. "Brat, I have done as you have requested. Your promise better not be a lie. Otherwise, you know the consequence", Liu Nanxi spoke.


    "Senior, please rest assure. How can I lie to an esteemed elder like you?", Zhan Chen spoke. It was always difficult to pacify such a difficult old woman. So, he could only see her off by talking like this.


    "Brat, save your flowery words for young miss. You better cultivate seriously. Otherwise, you will feel hopeless when you reach the centralnd", Liu Nanxi spoke.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 106 - Night Before Departure

    Liu Nanxi took out an exquisite looking box from her clothes and gave it to Zhan Chen. "Take it. I have managed to acquire a soul nourishing fruit from the provincial capital".


    Zhan Chen took the wooden box from Liu Nanxi''s hand and opened up the cover of the box.


    "Hundred blossom fruit!", Zhan Chen eximed after seeing the golden coloured fruit lying inside the exquisite looking box.


    Liu Nanxi nodded her head after seeing the proficiency of Zhan Chen in identifying the soul nourishing fruit.


    "Thank you aunt Liu. With it, grandmother can be healedpletely and break through to Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen spoke to Liu Nanxi with a sincere expression on his face.


    "Aunt Liu, please state the price you have to pay for acquiring this soul nourishing fruit", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi with a polite look on his face.


    "No need to think about it. You just need to remember your promise. Don''t disappoint me in future", Liu Nanxi replied and stepped back. Her figure faded into thin air after a moment.


    Zhan could only look helplessly as Liu Nanxi left the Zhan family estate without demanding anything in exchange of the Hundred blossom fruit.


    "Forget it, I can help her outter", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He turned back and moved towards his parents livingplex.


    Li Qingzhao was still preparing food when Zhan Chen came to his mother''s ce. He waited patiently and Li Qingzhao came back after preparing the food.


    "Chen-er, it is your favourite roasted duck", Li Qingzhao spoke. Zhan Chen smiled towards his mother and went with her to the dining table.


    "Chen-er, have you seen your father?", Li Qingzhao asked Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shook his head as Zhan Long was not inside the Zhan family estate at this moment.


    "Chen-er, are you really leaving tomorrow?", Li Qingzhao looked towards Zhan Chen with a reluctant look on her eyes.


    "Yes mother, I will leave with Ruyan. You don''t have to worry though. I will visit you once I have time", Zhan Chen replied to his mother. Li Qingzhao nodded her head and apanied Zhan Chen in his dinner.


    Zhan Chen sat with his mother after finishing up his dinner. They talked about different matters as Li Qingzhao tried to spend time with his son as much as she could.


    "Greetings madam, greetings young master", a maid interrupted the conversation of mother and son duo.


    "What is the matter?", Li Qingzhao frowned as she disliked to be disturbed now.


    "Madam, sorry for the interruption but it is urgent. The personal maid of the eldest princess hase to visit young master", the maid replied.


    "Zi Nuan''s maid!", Li Qingzhao muttered and threw a look at his son. Zhan Chen smiled at his mother with an slightly embarassed look on his face.


    "Tell the maid of the princess to wait a bit. I willl meet her after finishing my conversation with mother", Zhan Chen spoke to the maid.


    Li Qingzhao felt speechless but what could she do. Her son was turning into such a womanizer at such a tender age. She talked with Zhan Chen for another few minutes. Zhan Chen left after bading his mother farewell.


    A pretty looking maid was waiting for Zhan Chen in the guest hall. "Greetings young master Chen", the pretty looking maid greeted Zhan Chen.


    "Hello beauty, how may I address you?", Zhan Chen smiled at the personal maid of Zi Nuan. The pretty looking maid blushed lightly after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, I am Liu Yu. You can call me by my name", the pretty looking maid of Zi Nuan replied to Zhan Chen.


    "Ok then, beauty Yu. Tell me why have youe to visit me at such ate hour", Zhan Chen asked Liu Yu with a smile.


    "Young master, I havee to deliver a letter. Please read it and write your response", Liu Yu spoke. She took out a scroll from her clothes and handed it to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after reading the content of the scroll. "She is rather cautious but I like her idea", Zhan Chen thought to himself after taking a look at the content of the scroll. The handwriting on the scroll was elegant and a nobledy''s grace was visible in the words of the letter. It was a letter from eldest princess, Zi Nuan to him.


    "Young master, do you need a scroll to write?", Liu Yu asked.


    "There is no need. Tell her that her propasal is interesting. I ampletely agree with her idea", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, allow me to leave then. I will ry your words to princess", Liu Yu spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and Liu Yu left the guest hall of Zhan family.


    "Let''s concoct a pill for grand mother first. Then I can go and see princess Nuan", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He walked towards the livingplex of his parents and met with the Zhan family guards posted outside.


    "Have you brought the things I have ordered from the Firecloud treasure pavilion?", Zhan Chen asked to a guard he had previously met.


    "Yes, young master. I have personally visited the Firecloud treasure pavilion and brought over the things you have ordered. Manager of the Firecloud treasure pavilion also gave me a pill furnace after seeing the list that you have written", the guard replied.


    "Well then, bring those things to my ce", Zhan Chen spoke. The guard nodded and went over to fetch the products that he has brought from Firecloud treasure pavilion.


    After meeting with Liu Nanxi, Zhan Chen had immediately ordered for some alchemy ingredients and his pill furnace from the Firecloud treasure pavilion. Concocting a soul nourishing pill for his grandmother was necessary. So, Zhan Chen arranged everything properly before concocting a soul nourishing pill for his grandmother.


    Zhan Chen went back to his livingplex after giving his order to the Zhan family guard. Little Tao was waiting for him infront of his room. A happy look appeared on her face after she saw Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen''s pinched the nose of little Tao after seeing her happy face.


    "Little Tao, a guard will bring over some things I have ordered. Show him an empty room and ce the things there. I wille out from my room after cultivating for a while", Zhan Chen spoke to little Tao.


    Zhan Chen sat crosslegged after entering inside his room. He operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and he felt fully energized after a while.


    "Young master, the alchemy ingredients and the pill furnace are in this room", little Tao pointed towards a nearby room.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and went to the room where the alchemy ingredients were ced.


    "Little Tao, I am concocting a pill for grandmother. Do not allow anyone to enter inside this room", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Little Tao nodded her head and went outside. Zhan Chen took a look at the alchemy ingredients first. He nodded his head after checking out all the alchemy ingredients.


    "Violet smoked leaf"


    "Spirit Bamboo shoot"


    "Red star grass"


    "Green Lotus root"


    "Hundred Blossom fruit", Zhan Chen sorted out the ingredients one by one. Then he took out his soul fire and ced it on top of the pill furnace.


    The pill furnace became fully heated after a while. Zhan Chen opened up the lid of the pill furnace and threw in the ingredients one by one.


    The more difficult ones were the Red star grass and the Hundred Blossom fruit. Zhan Chen took almost an hour to extract the medicinal liquid from the spirit ingredients.


    "The ingredients are enough for concocting two pills. Granny Mumu is also injured. Although her injury is not that badpared to grandmother, I should give one of the pill to her", Zhan Chen decided inside his mind.


    Without further dy, Zhan Chen opened up the lid of the pill furnace. He poured in the medicinal essence of Red star grass and applied heat to it first. After few minutes, he added the medicinal essence of Green Lotus root with it.


    Zhan Chen kept pouring his spiritual energy to his soul fire. The soul fire supplied an constant heat to pill furnace and after ten minutes, the Red star grass and the green Lotus root started to mix up.


    Zhan Chen poured in the medicinal essence of Hundred blossom fruit after it and closed off the lid. It took almost thirty minutes for the medicinal essence of the Hundred Blossom fruit to mix up with medical essence of Red star grass and Green Lotus root.


    Zhan Chen added up the medicinal essence of Spirit Bamboo shoot and Violet smoked leaf after it and closed off the lid. Zhan Chen waited for another half an hour as drops of sweat fell off from his forehead.


    He was currently at True essence realm. So, concocting a grade five pill was still too draining for him. Despite the tiresome process, Zhan Chen persisted.


    When the five alchemy ingredients started to show the sign of mixing up with eachother, Zhan Chen intervened. He inserted a thread of his spiritual energy and divided the medicinal essence mix into two equal parts with his soul thread.


    Such kind of techniques required intricate skill of spiritual energy manipting. Zhan Chen could done so only because of his past life experience and the support of his pseudo soul.


    Zhan Chen poured in his spiritual energy as the two part started to shape up into two pills. Zhan Chen controlled the intensity of his soul fire and maintained a constant temperature.


    After few minutes, Zhan Chen stopped and opened up the lid of the furnace. Two transparent pills with a tinge of golden colour were lying inside the pill furnace.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 107 - Princess In The Moon Light

    Zhan Chen took out the two transparent pills from the pill furnace and stored them inside the jade bottle.


    He stretched his body a bit and walked out of the room.


    "Young master, have you finished concocting the pill?", Little Tao asked.


    "Yes, it is done. All I need now is to deliver it to grandmother and senior Mumu", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, you are amazing. You can concoct pills despite being only sixteen years", little Tao spoke. Her eyes were shining as she looked at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt amused by the adoring look on her face.


    "Little Tao,e with me. We are visiting grandmother", Zhan Chen spoke. Little Tao nodded her head and followed Zhan Chen to Si Yue''s ce where she was living in seclusion since the time she had fallen ill.


    There was no guards ced in the vicinity of Si Yue''s ce. She preferred peace and tranquility over crowded ce. There was also no security concern as granny Mumu was always there to look out for her.


    Si Yue was sitting in her courtyard when Zhan Chen went to her ce. After so much days of sleeping, she didn''t want to go to bed again. She was leaning against a tree and looking towards the distant forest range.


    "Grandmother", Zhan Chen called out after reaching near the tree on which Si Yue was leaning. Si Yue turned her head after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. A happy expression appeareared on her serene face after noticing Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings elder madam", little Tao greeted Si Yue nervously. Si Yue smiled gently towards little Tao and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little Chen, what is the matter?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "Grandmother, are you well? Is there any problem with your body now?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "What could happen to me again? I ampletely fine after receiving your treatment", Si Yue replied with a smile on her face. Her heart warmed up after hearing the concerned words of her grandson.


    "That is good to hear. All you need is to consume this pill and your soul will be fine again", Zhan Chen spoke and took out the pill bottle where he stored the two soul nourishing pills.


    "How pretty!", little Tao murmured as she looked towards the two transparent looking pills with golden hue on their surface.


    Si Yue threw a curious look at the the pill bottle that Zhan Chen was holding. She stretched her hand and took the pill bottle from Zhan Chen.


    "Little Chen, what pill it is?", Si Yue looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Grandmother, it is Hundred Blossom pill made of Hundred Blossom fruit", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Young miss, it is a grade five pill", old woman Mumu who was standing in a distance appeared near Si Yue.


    "Greetings senior Mumu", Zhan Chen greeted old woman Mumu. Little Tao also greeted the old woman who was considered most powerful before the Zhan family ancestor appeared.


    "Little Chen, where did you get a grade five pill?", Si Yue asked. A grade five pill was a luxury for many cultivators as grade five ingredients were very less in the entire Western region of Northern desert continent.


    Granny Mumu also looked towards Zhan Chen as she was also amazed by the appearance of two grade five pills in such a downtrodden location. Moreover, the grade five pills were no ordinary pills as they were made up of soul nourishing Hundred Blossom fruit.


    "Grandmother, you don''t have to worry about it. A senior help me to find the Hundred Blossom fruit and I have concoted the Hundred blossom pills out of it", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    "A sixteen year old boy with the capacity to concoct grade five pill! An alchemy king!", Si Yue muttered as she looked towards Zhan Chen with amazement in her eyes.


    "Little Chen, I don''t know what to say to you anymore. Only if your grandfather is here to see this", Si Yue spoke as she imagined what would be the reaction of her husband after seeing the acheivement of their granddon.


    Zhan Chen bade farewell to old woman Mumu and his grandmother after delivering the pill. He sent little Tao to her living room and walked out of Zhan family estate. His destination was the Windy mountain where no one was allowed other than the royal family members.


    Windy mountain was located at the south of the Red cloud city at the bottom of which the royal pce was built. Windy mountain also had also another nickname, the royal mountain which was exclusive to only the royal family members. Royal family used Windy mountain as their practice ground and the beasts in it as their hunting targets.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know what Zi Nuan was thinking to call him to such a location but he didn''t care anymore. With his True essence realm cultivation, he could use soul attack on the Core Condensation realm experts. Only Martial ascension realm experts were threat to Zhan Chen but he had ways to deal with such experts.


    Zhan Chen picked up a horse from his Zhan family estate and left for the Windy mountain. The streets of Red cloud city were silent but they were lit up by the lighting from fire torches.


    Zhan Chen passed through the Red cloud city and rode towards the direction where the royal pce was located. There were soldiers posted around the royal pce. Zhan Chen got off from his horse and used his movement technique to get past the royal family soldiers.


    Zhan Chen used his soul consciousness to check out his surrounding. So, he easily avoided the royal soldiers and moved past the royal pce. There was a small mountain behind royal pce. Zhan Chen''s destination was the same mountain that located behind the royal pce.


    The magical beasts of Windy mountain were no threat to Zhan Chen. He easily moved past through the wooods and climbed the Windy mountain.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and noticed a figure standing on a corner of the mountain. She was looking at the moon while exposing her pretty back to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen did not make any sound as he appeared near Zi Nuan. He observed her pretty figure without alerting Zi Nuan. It was a full moon day and the round moon was glowing genty.


    Zi Nuan was looking bewitching while bathing in the gentle rays of moonlight. Zhan Chen stretched out his hand and held the slim waist of Zi Nuan.


    Zi Nuan didn''t look back but ced her hand on Zhan Chen''s hand.


    "If you didn''t appear today, then we may not have meet again in this life. I would prefer to live with the memory of yours but wouldn''t appear infront of you if you couldn''t make it here today", Zi Nuan spoke in a light tone.


    Zhan Chen knew she was serious as he could see the resolve of Zi Nuan in her eyes. Zi Nuan was not an ordinary girl who would do anything just because Zhan Chen managed to find a ce in her heart. She had her own pride. She gave a chance to Zhan Chen and waited for Zhan Chen in Windy mountain. She knew there would be obstacles but she wanted Zhan Chen to cross the obstacles to reach her.


    "It is impossible to leave you alone. I would never let a girl wait for me in vein", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zi Nuan escaped from Zhan Chen''s hands and matched her eyes with Zhan Chen''s.


    "Zhan Chen, I have decided. You wanted me to be your woman, right?", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as he matched his gaze with the charming eyes of Zi Nuan.


    "Then, I, Zi Nuan ept you as my man. I have lost the gamble but that is not the reason, I have choosen you. You yed your tricks but you have given effort to get me. After so many years, I have never thought I will love anyone again", Zi Nuan spoke.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disturb her as he let her speak out the feeling welling up inside her heart.


    "Zhan Chen, thank you. Thank you for giving such a pleasant feeling to my heart", Zi Nuan spoke and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Both could see eachother''s emotion through their eyes. Zhan Chen stretched his hand and pulled Zi Nuan into his embrace. The desire of possession inside him slowly faded away as he fallen in love with the girl in the moonlight.

 Chapter 108 - We Are In The Wild Now!

    Zi Nuan wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s back and stered herself on Zhan Chen''s chest. She felt something poking her belly when she nestled together with Zhan Chen.


    Zi Nuan blushed deeply after realising what it was. It was obviously Zhan Chen''s little brother who was being over excited.


    Zhan Chen cupped the pretty face of Zi Nuan with both of his hands and nted a passionate kiss on her lips. Zi Nuan''s face turned red as she noticed the heated gaze of Zhan Chen on her.


    Zhan Chen pulled off the belt of Zi Nuan which was holding her dress together. A soft sound emitted as her sword hit the ground along with her belt.


    "What are you doing? We are in the wild now!", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen with a blush on her face. She had an enchanting appearance as she held her dress with one hand and stared towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could feel the primordial fire named lust rising in his mind as much as he looked at Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan was growing more enchanting with the passing of each moment.


    "Princess, I promise there will be no problem. No one can approach us without alerting me", Zhan Chen threw an assured look towards Zi Nuan.


    "But.....?", Zi Nuan tried to tell something but her lips were sealed by Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen parted apart her lips and sneaked his tongue inside the mouth of Zi Nuan.


    He held the pretty back of Zi Nuan with his one hand and his other hand wrapped around her hand with which she was supporting her loose dress. Her dress fallen offpletely as her enchanting curves appeared Infront of Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zi Nuan''s body shivered slightly as the mountain wind brushed past her beautiful body. Zhan Chen let go of her hand and moved his hand towards Zi Nuan''s tall peaks. Her peaks were covered by another patch of clothes. Zhan Chen ced his hand on the patch of cloth and squeezed the tall peaks of Zi Nuan gently.


    Both Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan''s mouth was still connected as Zhan Chen was busy in exploring all the corner of Zi Nuan''s mouth with his own tongue. Zi Nuan was inexperienced but her slippery tongue involuntarily wrapped around Zhan Chen''s tongue which gave Zhan Chen more stimulus to taste her more.


    "Zhan Chen, we are still in....", Zi Nuyan tried to protest but her small protest had no impact on Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen kissed Zi Nuan passionately and let her go only after tasting her mouth for a longer period. His hand was still trying to measure her peaks as he was still helding Zi Nuan''s peak with his hand.


    Zi Nuan''s mind became nk as Zhan Chen''s expertise overwhelmed her little heart. She looked towards Zhan Chen with shimmering desire in her pretty eyes.


    "Nnnnnn~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen started to squeeze her tall peaks once again. His curiousity grew after sqeezing her tall peaks for a few times. Zi Nuan''s peaks felt extremely soft to Zhan Chen''s hands. Zhan Chen squeezed her peaks as much as he could but what piqued his curiousity was the fact that he couldn''t grab even half of Zi Nuan''s peaks with his entire palm.


    "Princess, I am taking off your cloth", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled off the patch of cloth which was holding Zi Nuan''s twin peaks together.


    Two snowy mountains with two red cherries on top appeeared infront of his eyes.


    "Princess, you are amazing. How could you hide such treasures without alerting the eyes of anyone!", Zhan Chen eximed. A fascinated look appeared on his face as he saw the huge snowy mountains of Zi Nuan.


    Zi Nuan blushed after hearing the teasing of Zhan Chen. She wanted to find a hole and crawl inside it after hearing Zhan Chen''s teasing but Zhan Chen would not allow her to do anything for now. Especially when, such treasures were infront of his eyes.


    Zhan Chen immediately started to massage the two snowy mountains of Zi Nuan with his hands.


    "Nnnnnnn~", Zi Nuan moaned softly as Zhan Chen massaged her twin peaks skillfully. Such kind of pleasure was new to her. Zi Nuan felt light in her head as she let Zhan Chen do as he pleased.


    "Princess, please give me moment. Let me borrow your sword once", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What are you doing?", Zi Nuan muttered with confusion. Zhan Chen gave her peaks another squeeze and let her go.


    He picked up Zi Nuan''s sword from the ground and looked around. A huge rock lying nearby their location attracted his attention.


    Zhan Chen channeled his true essence energy to Zi Nuan''s sword and gave a horizontal sh to therge rock.


    Zi Nuan felt more confused as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She wrapped one of her hand around her peaks and tried to cover as much as she could with her slender hand.


    Zhan Chen ced the sword on the same location he had striked previously. There didn''t seem to be a single cut on the rock surface but after Zhan Chen pushed lightly, a huge slice of big rock fallen off from the top of the rock surface.


    "Amazing", Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen with amazement in her eyes as apletely even rock surface appeared Infront of her eyes.


    The rock wasrge enough for a people to sleep on it. it didn''t take time for Zi Nuan to understand the sudden action of Zhan Chen. Her face turned redder as some fanciful thoughts appeared in her maiden mind.


    "Princess,e here", Zhan Chen beckoned his hand towards Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan blushed but still walked towards Zhan Chen after picking up her clothes.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing how shy such a big beauty like Zi Nuan was. He had nothing toin though as Zi Nuan was looking more enchanting with a shy look on her face.


    "Princess, you are looking gorgeous", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Nuan blushed as she avoided the heated eyes of Zhan Chen.


    Princess, please give your clothes to me", Zhan Chen spoke and took the dress of Zi Nuan from her hand. He spread out her dress and covered the surface of the rock with it.


    Zi Nuan was still trying to cover her peaks with her slender hand while herher region was still covered by a pretty looking undergarment. Zhan Chen threw a heated look at Zi Nuan as her enchanting curves gave stimulus to certain impulses in Zhan Chen''s mind.


    "Princess, there is no need to wear it for now. Let me take a clear look at your body first", Zhan Chen pointed at Zi Nuan''s undergarment and pulled off it before Zi Nuan could react.


    "You!", Zi Nuan couldn''t even protest as Zhan Chen slid off her undergarment from herher region. She hurriedly put her hand on her sacred treasure and red towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chenughed cheekily and made Zi Nuan sat on the rock bed and took out her undergarment from her legs.


    Zi Nuan blushed heavily as she felt shy all over. They were in the Windy mountain and below it was the royal pce. Yet, they were doing such things in a shiny moon night and now she waspletely naked infront of a man of her liking.


    He took out his own robe and ced it on the rock bed. He cupped Zi Nuan''s pretty face and took her lips once again with his own.


    "Princess, please lie down", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Nuan nodded her head and lied down on top of the rock bed. Zhan Chen didn''t want to push her too fast as Zi Nuan still had her reservation about the wild.


    Zhan Chen wanted her to rx. So, he gave Zi Nuan a quick massage. After a quick massage on her shoulders and thighs, Zi Nuan felt more pleasant. Her body had already be hot. Zhan Chen''s massage further kindled her desire for him.


    Zhan Chen could see the look on Zi Nuan''s eyes. He knew she was more than ready. So, he decided to proceed and parted apart her two beautiful legs.


    He raised up Zi Nuan''s legs and bent them from her knees. Her sacred cave became fully exposed to Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    He moved his hand towards her sacred cave and ced his palm on top of her sacred cave.


    "Mmmmm~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen rubbed her little sister with his fingers.


    Zhan Chen leaned down and tasted the beautiful lips of Zi Nuan. Then he nted a kiss on her slender neck.


    Zhan Chen''s mouth moved towards the snowy peaks of Zi Nuan as he was eager to have a taste of those snowy mountains.


    "Nnnnnnng~", Zi Nuan moaned as she felt a otherworldly wave of pleasure coarsing through her body. Her body shivered lightly as Zhan Chen sucked her twin peaks intently.


    Zhan Chen moved his tongue around her n.i.p.p.l.e.s. and bit on them gently. Zi Nuan shivered as she felt pleasure overwhelming her body and mind. Zhan Chen teased her raised buds with his tongue. Zi Nuan shivered in pleasure as Zhan Chen''s teasing was too much for her mind.


    Zi Nuan''s peaks had a milky taste as Zhan Chen greedily sucked her huge peaks with his mouth.


    "Chomp! Chomp! Chomp", Zhan Chen tried to gulp as much as he could as he took in the peaks of Zi Nuan inside his mouth.


    "Ahhhhhh~please move your hand. I can''t take it anymore~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen kept teasing her with his mouth and fingers.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 109 - Epitome Of A Body That Men Desire

    Zhan Chen took another bite on Zi Nuan''s b.r.e.a.s.t.s. and moved downward.


    ''Nnnnnnnn~''


    ''Mmmmmm~'', Zi Nuan kept moaning as Zhan Chen was still rubbing her little sister.


    Zi Nuan felt something was gathering in her lower belly as the feeling of pleasure intensified.


    "Zhan Chen, please stop your hand~", Zi Nuan begged and ced her palm on Zhan Chen''s fingers. Zhan Chen stopped rubbing her little sister and let Zi Nuan take a breather.


    His little brother was protesting violently inside his pant. Zhan Chen patted his little brother and looked towards Zi Nuan.


    Zi Nuan''s eyes were misty as the wave of pleasure assaulting her mind and body. Her body calmed down a little after Zhan Chen stopped teasing her but it red up her desire for more pleasure.


    The look of desire on her face made her more attractive to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt like exploding as he observed the curvy body of Zi Nuan.


    An enchanting face added with two gigantic hills, a slender waist and wide h.i.p.s., Zi Nuan was the epitome of an women what men desired. There was something indescribable in Zi Nuan''s body which made Zhan Chen''s mind berserk while looking at her.


    Zhan Chen wanted to take her right there and then but his mind had still control over her instincts. Zi Nuan was still a maiden in her heart. So, Zhan Chen wanted to made her morefortable with him before making Zi Nuan his woman.


    Zi Nuan looked towards Zhan Chen with an inviting look on her face. Zhan Chen grinned and started teasing her once again.


    He nted a light kiss on Zi Nuan''s lips and moved over to her tall peaks. After taking a few bites on her perky mountains, he moved downward.


    Zi Nuan''s body arched up as Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her lower belly. He moved further down and nted kiss on her both pretty thighs.


    ''Mmmmm~", Zi Nuan moaned as the feeling of overwhelming pleasure came back to her mind. Zhan Chen pulled Zi Nuan''s thighs more closer to him as her sacred cave became wide upon to greet Zhan Chen.


    A tiny bud and two shapely thin lower lips, Zi Nuan''s little sister had a pretty apperance like the other parts of her body. In fact, Zhan Chen felt more aroused as he saw the light red colour mixed with the usual pink.


    "Princess, it is pretty. Let me know how it tastes", Zhan Chen spoke and struck out his tongue. Then he took a good lick of her cave from down to upward.


    "Ahhhhh~what are you doing~ that is my~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zi Chen teased her little bud lying atop her sacred cave. Zhan Chen tickled her little bud with his tongue and made it move in different direction.


    ''Ahhhhhh~


    Shhhhhh~'', Zi Nuan moaned loudly as Zhan Chen licked her little sister. Her cave was already wet with her own water. Zhan Chen''s saliva made it extra slippery for his tongue to maneuver.


    Zi Nuan shivered as Zhan Chen inserted his tongue inside her sacred cave.


    ''Ahhhhh~


    Shhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhh~'', Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen assaulted her sacred cave with his tongue. There was ayer which stopped him from going deeper but Zhan Chen didn''t mind. He teased the cave wall of Zi Nuan as Zi Nuan shivered by the sheer amount of pleasure.


    This time the pleasure was too much for Zi Nuan. She felt something gathering in her lower belly again. She wanted to stop Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen moved his tongue more intently in her cave wall.


    "Zhan Chen~move~", Zi Nuan spoke and tried to stop Zhan Chen from licking her little sister. But her force was too little as Zhan Chen moved his tongue around her cave wall.


    "Ahhhhh~", Zi Nuan moaned as her body twitched. With a loud moan of her, yin water flooded her sacred cave.


    Zhan Chen drank her yin water happily as Zi Nuan''s body twitched with the release of her yin water. Zhan Chen let her go after drinking mouthful of her yin water.


    Zi Nuan felt iparably rxed after releasing out her yin water. She threw a lovefilled look towards Zhan Chen as her body lied on top of the rock bed leisurely.


    Zhan Chen let Zi Nuan rest for some minutes. Her little brother was creating a ruckus but Zhan Chen was still keeping it inside his pant.


    Zhan Chen didn''t want his little brother to suffer more as he took off his pant. A powerful looking majestic dragon appeared Infront of Zi Nuan as Zhan Chen released his little brother out.


    Some memories came to Zi Nuan''s mind as she recalled some of the stimting pictures that Zhan Chen had sent to her mind. Her face reddened untill neck as she threw a shy look towards the majestic dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, take it in your hand", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan.


    Zi Nuan blushed but still wrapped her palm around Zhan Chen''s spear and stroked it gently. She didn''t have experience but she had seen many vivid images between Zhan Chen and herself thanks to the trick that Zhan Chen had yed with her.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have to guide her as her inexperienced hands gradually became skillful. Zi Nuan sat down on her own and stroked Zhan Chen''s dragon with both of her hands.


    "Princess, use your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Nuan''s face became reddened but she still nodded her head.


    She knelt down and Zhan Chen''s dragon came close to her mouth. She struck out her lovely tongue and took a lick of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen went forward slightly and made it easier for Zi Nuan to lick his dragon. Zi Nuan held the dragon of Zhan Chen with with one of her hand and licked the tip of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched as it felt the soft tongue of Zi Nuan on top of its body. Zi Nuan stroked Zhan Chen''s dragon and used her tongue along with it.


    After a few licks, she took Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her mouth. Her soft lips took in the sturdy dragon of Zhan Chen as Zi Nuan started to move her head.


    "Princess, get on your four. It will be easier for you", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan agreed as it was slightly problematic for her to crouch down in kneeling position.


    After getting on four, Zi Nuan found it easier to acess Zhan Chen''s entire dragon with her mouth.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Zi Nuan started to move her mouth back and forth as Zhan Chen''s dragon drenched by her fragrant saliva.


    Zhan Chen stretched out his hand and caressed Zi Nuan''s silky hair. He started to move his waist along with Zi Nuan''s mouth as his dragon moved deeper inside Zi Nuan''s mouth.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon became more mighty as it received the intense care of Zi Nuan''s mouth. Zhan Chen''s shoved his dragon deep inside Zi Nua ''s mouth as he pulled Zi Nuan closer by gently her head.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp!", Zi Nuan continued to move her head as she took in therge spear of Zhan Chen into her mouth. Her tongue moved in tandem as it added much pleasure for Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from Zi Nuan''s mouth after sometime. He rubbed his dragon on Zi Nuan''s lips and turned her body by holding her waist.


    Zi Nuan was now standing on her all four as her face was positioned towards the opposite direction of Zhan Chen. Her pretty back was ced close to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen admired the view of Zi Nuan''s back as he ced his hand on Zi Nuan''s pretty b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. Her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. were a piece of art as they had grown much biggerpared to her slender body.


    Two beautiful half moons were ced next to Zhan Chen. He couldn''t help his hand as he sqeezed the full b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. of Zi Nuan a little.


    "Mmmmmm~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen yed with her two half moons. Zhan Chen pointed his dragon towards Zi Nuan''s sacred cave who was hidden beneath the perky half moons of Zi Nuan.


    Zhan Chen pushed apart the soft flesh of Zi Nuan with his dragon and found her entrance. He widened her legs a little as he sacred cave became more essible to Zhan Chen.


    "Nnnnnnng~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on her cave entrance.


    "Please be gentle with me", Zi Nuan spoke as she anticipated further movement from Zhan Chen.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 110 - A Treasure For Dual Cultivation

    "Princess, don''t worry. It is not that difficult as you think", Zhan Chen spoke. He rubbed his dragon on the wet cave of Zi Nuan forst time and then ced his awaken dragon at the center of her entrance.


    "Ahhhhhh~", Zi Nuan cried out as Zhan Chen prated her with a single thrust of his dragon. Blood trickled out from her cave drenching the head of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen stretched out his hand and massaged the nerves around the cave of Zi Nuan. A relived expression appeared on Zi Nuan''s face after some moments.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist as his dragon found its way deeper inside Zi Nuan''s sacred cave.


    "Ahhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen continued to thrust his dragon inside Zi Nuan''s cave.


    "Ahhhhhh~", Zi Nuan cried out as Zhan Chen gave her an agressive thrust. More than half of Zhan Chen''s dragon entered Zi Nuan''s sacred cave and traces of tear appeared in the corer of Zi Nuan''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen felt his desire getting intense as he observed the fatal beauty sleeping on the rock bed. He didn''t know what was going on as he felt a strong impulse telling him to ravage Zi Nuan.


    "There must be something going on", Zhan Chen thought as he observed Zi Nuan''s body with his soul consciousness. "No wonder. I feel such strong impulse. To think that she actually has beauty bone!", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Beauty bone was a special kind of bone that could not be detected normally. Even with soul consciousness, no expert could find its existence in a girl''s body.


    The best possible way to detect the beauty bone was to have a chance urence. Only during the union between men and women and during some days after the union could one detect the beauty bone within a woman.


    There was also another method used by various powerful rulers but it was also an overbearing method scoffed by many righteous experts.


    The process involved seducing beautiful virgins anddraw blood from theirher regions. The gathered blood was put in formation one by one and the bearer of the beauty bone was identified by the Physique deducing formation.


    Such methods were used by tyrants who knew no bound to fulfill their desires. Zhan Chen would obviously not use such inhumane things. So, he became surprised after finding out a bearer of beauty bone.


    The user of the beauty bones were blessed by nature for seduction. Their charm was unparallel and they were excellent dual cultivation partners. Even a person with no talent in cultivation would be benefitted by cultivating with the bearer of beauty bone. So, there was little wonder why he had such impulse towards Zi Nuan.


    "Princess, are you okay? You are so charming. So, I couldn''t control myself", Zhan Chen eximed.


    "I am fine. Just don''t be too rough", Zi Nuan spoke. Zhan Chen nodded and moved his waist slowly.


    His dragon was already deep inside Zi Nuan''s cave. Even with his slow movement, his dragon hit some deeper part of Zi Nuan''s cave.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~", Zi Nuan moaned as a look of bliss appeared on her beautiful face.


    Zhan Chen found it incredibly difficult to control himself as he had to control the movement of his dragon and resist his impulse.


    "Princess, how about we change position? Let me lie on the rock bed", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zi Nuan nodded her head and got off from the stone bed. Zhan Chen lied on his back on the rock bed and looked towards Zi Nuan.


    "Princess,e over and sit on it", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Nuan had some hesitation but her desire surpassed her reluctance. Zhan Chen didn''t have to teach Zi Nuan anything as she had ocean of images that Zhan Chen imprinted in her soul consciousness.


    She climbed the bed and ced both of her legs across the waist of Zhan Chen. Then she sat down as her little sister touched the tip of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Princess,e down. No need to worry. You will feel good in no time", Zhan Chen encouraged Zi Nuan.


    Zi Nuan let go of her hesitation after rubbing her little sister on Zhan Chen''s tip. Her cave was already wet as few drops of her water dripped down to Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Ahhhhhh~", Zi Nuan moaned as she exerted a little force and took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her cave.


    "It is too deep~", Zi Nuan murmured as she sat on Zhan Chen''s dragon. She moved her waist a little and savoured the feeling of Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her cave.


    "Mmmmm~", Zi Nuan moaned closing her eyes as she moved his body forward and backward. Zhan Chen''s dragon was deep inside her cave and her movent facted Zhan Chen''s dragon to touch some deep points of her cave resulting her pleasure to be intensified.


    Zhan Chen tried to resist but the charm of beauty bone was too fatal to him. He ced both of his hand on Zi Nuan''s waist and made her body move upward and downward.


    ''Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~'', Zi Nuan continued to moan as Zhan Chen picked up and dropped her body on his dragon. His dragon touched the deep corners of Zi Nuan''s cave as she continued to let out bewitching moans.


    Her snowy mountains swayed along with her body causing the lust of Zhan Chen to re up. Zhan Chen started to move his waist along with her body as his dragon prated deeper part of Zi Nuan''s cave.


    "Ahhhhh~Slow down slightly~


    I can''t take it anymore~", Zi Nuan moaned as she felt the familiar sensation in her lower belly. Instead of making Zhan Chen stop, her words stimted Zhan Chen further as he thrusted his dragon more rapidly inside Zu Nuan''s cave.


    "Ahhhhh~ it ising~", Zi Nuan moaned and let out her yin water from her sacred cave. Zhan Chen''s dragon became more jovial as it became drenched by the shower of Zi Nuan''s yin water.


    Zhan Chen let Zi Nuan take Somme rest. She became ready after few minutes as Zhan Chen continued to massage her snowy peaks. Her snowy peaks were a wonder of its own as Zhan couldn''t get enough of the bouncy feeling while groping her massive peaks.


    "Princess, get on your four and move your back towards me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zi Nuan nodded her shyly and stood on her four. Zhan Chen took a look at her beautiful back and pinched her white half moons facing towards him.


    "Mmmmm~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen pinched her soft b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. Zhan Chen squeezed her pretty half moons and fondled them a bit. Flesh of her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. was soft like cheese. Zhan Chen squeezed them as he pleased for a while.


    Then he pointed his dragon towards the entrance of her sacred cave and moved his waist.


    "Ahhhhh~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen entered her sacred cave with his spear. Zhan Chen moved gently as Zi Nuan cave was still feeling tight.


    "Ahhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen gave her some gentle thrusts. After few thrusts, Zhan Chen increased his pace as a sound of flesh colliding reveberated in the air.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah", Zhan Chen moved his waist fiercely as his waist collided with Zi Nuan''s back. His dragon pentrated Zi Nuan''s cave deeper as Zi Nuan continued to let out some soul stirring moans.


    "Princess, how does it feel?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Nuan while thrusting his dragon inside Zi Nuan''s cave.


    "Ahhhhh~it is...Mmmm~", Zi Nuan tried to reply but another thrust overwhelmed her as she let out a seductive moan.


    Zhan Chen climbed the rock bed and raised the h.i.p.s. of Zi Nuan slightly. Then he ced his hands on Zi Nuan''s back and stabbed her cave with his dragon.


    "Ahhhhh~it is too deep~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen rode her from her back. Zhan Chen rode Zi Nuan as wildly as he could and prated her little siter with his violent dragon.


    Zi Nuan couldn''t take it anymore as she spurted out another stream of yin water from her sacred cave. Zhan Chen didn''t stop even after Zi Nuan released her yin water.


    He continued to prate her and after few more thrusts, he deposited his yang liquid inside the cave of Zi Nuan.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 111 - A New Journey

    Night moon was glowing brightly cascading it''s gentle rays on the tall Windy mountain. Zhan Chen was lying on the big rock bed and Zi Nuan lying on top of his chest with a serene expression on her face.


    "Princess, what are you nning to do next? I will be happy if you follow me to the centralnd", Zhan Chen broke the silence aftera while.


    "I don''t know yet. Let me think about it", Zi Nuan spoke as a lost expression appeareared on her face. For so many years of her life, she lived her life on her own way. Except her childhood, she had never felt a moment of dependence on others. But right now, she didn''t want to let go the person lying beneath her.


    "Zhan Chen, what if I go with Mingxi? We can meet at the time of grand sectpetition", Zi Nuan spoke.


    "It is also a good idea. We can meet each other after few months of time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Chen''s little brother was still unsatisfied but Zhan Chen didn''t want to push Zi Nuan. Zi Nuan seemed to love cuddle as she lied atop Zhan Chen''s chest.


    Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan slept intimately for a while. Zhan Chen gave Zi Nuan a goodbye kiss and left the Windy mountain with her. After climbing down the mountain, both of them went their separate way.


    Zhan Chen felt surprised when he returned to the Zhan family estate. Zhan Long was standing with the family guards near the gate.


    Zhan Chen rode his horse and returned to the Zhan family estate. There were stiil some hours left before the arrival of next day morning. Zhan Chen decided to cultivate in the meantime to absorb the yin essence of Zi Nuan.


    He entered inside his room and sat crosslegged. After cleaning his mind from other distractions, he operated Celestial Yin Yang sutra. The divine diagram which lied above his dantian glowed as it absorbed the yin essence of Zi Nuan from Zhan Chen''s body.


    A pure stream of True essence energy came out in return as Zhan Chen kept operating the Celestial Yin Yang sutra. Zi Nuan was a Core Condensation realm expert. Moreover, she was a maiden till date.


    Her pure yin energy provided a great amount of True essence energy to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen kept absorbing the True essence energy of Zi Nuan as the True essence energy inside his body thickened up in size. The small strings of True essence energy started to grow in width as they started to assimte the True essence energying from the Yinyang divine diagram.


    "Second stage of True essence realm


    Third stage of True essence realm!", Zhan Chen felt delighted as he kept assimting the True essence energying from the Yinyang divine diagram.


    Finally, he broke through the third stage of True essence realm and reached the fourth stage before absorbing thest bit of True essence energying from the divine Yinyang diagram.


    It took almost an hour for Zhan Chen to absorb the energy of Zi Nuan. His cultivation stabilized at the fourth stage of True essence ream when hepleted his cultivation session.


    "Princess Nuan, it is really a blessing to have you as my woman", Zhan Chen muttered to himself.


    There were still some time left before the morning. Zhan Chen decided to take a look at his sword which he had picked up from the Zhan family weaponry.


    Thr pitch ck sword was lying in a corner of Zhan Chen''s room. Zhan Chen picked it up and threw a look at theherworld characters written on it.


    "Devour! what a simple yet mighty name. Apany me in my journey and I will make you the best sword of this world", Zhan Chen spoke while caressing the shiny ck body of sword ''Devour''.


    A shiny luster appeared on the body of sword Devour as Zhan Chen spoke it to apanyhim in journey. Zhan Chen felt some resonance from sword Devour and a smile appeared on his face.


    Zhan Chen felt a soul consciousness scanning past him and he knew who it was.


    "It is time to see the senior. Then I can go and bade farewell to everyone", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He ced the sword Devour on the ground and left his room. After leaving his livingplex, he walked towards the Ancestral hall of Zhan family.


    Zhan Lin was sitting crosslegged infront of the Ancestral hall. A smile appeared on his stoic face as he saw Zhan Chening towards him.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed his head towards Zhan Lin.


    "Sit down", Zhan Lin pointed towards a ce Infront of him. Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat on the ground facing Zhan Lin.


    "Are you leaving?", Zhan Lin looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yes senior, I have to leave this morning", Zhan Chen replied.


    Zhan Lin nodded his head and stayed silent for a moment. Zhan Chen waited patiently as he waited for the elderly man to open his mouth.


    "You know our history, right?", Zhan Lin looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply.


    "Then, maintain a little bit of vignce untill you be powerful. The centralnd will not be easy where experts roam everywhere", Zhan Lin spoke.


    "Senior, I will remember your words", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "We used to have many friends as well as numerous enemies. Many ns should have grudge against us untill now. So, be careful", Zhan Lin spoke.


    Zhan Chen listened to the words of Zhan Lin and left after paying respect to the ancestors of the Zhan family.


    His next destination was his parents'' ace but he felt surprised to see his father waiting for him on his way.


    "Greetings father", Zhan Chen smiled towards Zhan Long.


    "You cheeky little brat. Where have you run to in the middle of the night", Zhan Long looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt speechless after listening the question of his father. The same question he also wanted to ask his father as he had not noticed the presence of his father before leaving to Windy mountain.


    "Father, I.....", Zhan Chen decided to reply but before he could say anything he felt speechless again after Zhan Long gestrued him to stop.


    "No need to exin to me. I am just curious about your whereabout. Nowe with me to our ce. You mother has not slept in the night as she kept thinking about your departure", Zhan Long spoke and dragged Zhan Chen towards their ce.


    Zhan Chen felt helpless as he was still treated like a kid by his father. He went along with Zhan Long and headed towards the ce of his parents.


    "Chen-er", Li Qingzhao called out after seeing Zhan Chen along with Zhan Long. A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she tried to wipe her swollen eyes.


    Zhan Chen felt a little pain in his heart after seeing his mother like this but he was bound to leave home sooner orter. So, he couldn''t do anything to reduce the sorrow of his mother.


    "Mother, please don''t cry. I will visit you whenever I can", Zhan Chen spoke to his mother.


    "Chen-er, there no need to think about me. You should go and join a good sect to cultivate first", Li Qingzhao replied.


    "Brother Long, what are you waiting for? Bring out the thing you have prepared for Chen-er", Li Qingzhao looked towards Zi Long.


    Zi Long smiled after seeing the impatience of his wife. He went to another room and came back with a good looking armour with him.


    Zhan Chen felt curious and threw a look at the armour that his father was helding. "A profound grade armour!", Zhan Chen felt surprised for a moment.


    "Little brat, take it. I really have to give some effort to acquire it", Zhan Long spoke.


    "Chen-er, it is a profound grade armour. Your father has prepared it for you. Hurry up and wear it. I want to see how you look with this armour", Li Qingzhao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen feltplicated for a moment as he knew what was the value of a profund grade armour to his parents. But he didn''t want to disappoint them. So, he took over the armour and wear it above his dress.


    The armour felt light and fit well with his body. "A good armour", Zhan Chen nodded his head after wearing the white coloured armour that his father had given to him.


    Both Zhan Long and Li Qingzhao smiled as they saw the armour on his son''s body. Zhan Chen spent his remaining time with his parents and bade farewell to his uncle and aunts after the sun had risen from the east.


    He threw ast look towards the Zhan family estate and threw a look at the crying little Tao and his mother. Even Zhan Lin was also observing him with his soul consciousness.


    "Goodbye everyone. Please take care while I am away", Zhan Chen spoke and left the gate of Zhan family estate.


    A new journey was waiting for him as he rode the carraige that the Firecloud treasure pavilion had sent for him.

 Chapter 112 - Woods Are The Best Place To Cultivate

    "Young miss, should we stop here?", an expert of Shen family looked towards Shen Ruyan.


    "Scatter and scout the ce. If there is no problem, we will pitch up our tents here", Shen Ruyan replied.


    The Shen family guards who were riding Horned lions spread over and started to search the entire ce. Shen Ruyan turned her head and threw a look at Zhan Chen. She was riding a gigantic deer with four antlers. The spirit deer was looking majestic and matched well with the graceful beauty of Shen Ruyan.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head towards Shen Ruyan and as if there was an invisible connection between them, both of them understood what the other people wanted to say.


    "There is no need to look further. We will set our tents here", Shen Ruyanmanded. The Shen family experts came back and started to work on the tents for a night rest.


    Zhan Chen was riding a Horned lion like other Shen family experts. He got off from the back of Horned lion and stretched his body a bit. A full day of riding was s little bit tiring even to him.


    Shen n had dispatched fourteen experts to safely bring back Shen Ruyan from the Western region. There numbers might be small but each of the expert atleast had a Core condensation realm cultivation.


    There were total fifteen experts who were travelling with group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan now. Eleven were Core Condensation realm experts and three were Martial ascension realm experts. Adding Liu Nanxi who always stayed with Shen Ruyan, the total number of Martial ascension realm experts were four.


    This was a force which could take on any big force of Western region. So, the young cultivators like Li Yan, Kai Min and Li Shu had no worries as they traveled with Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan. The person with lowest cultivation base in the group were Su''er and Ling''er.Shen Ruyan had assigned


    female experts of her n to take care of them. Both Ling''er and Su''er were travelling with the female Core Condensation realm experts of Shen n.


    After Shen Ruyan got off from her spirit deer, others also got off from their rides one by one. It took only half an hour of time to pitch the tents for everyone.


    "How much time untill we enter the Shredded mountain province?", Zhan Chen asked Li Shu who was standing nearby him.


    "We have yet to leave our own province, the Clear sky province. It will probably take another day for us to reach the Shredded mountain province", Li Shu replied.


    The Northern desert continent was divided into five regions and each region wasprised of three to four provinces. The Red cloud kingdom, the kingdom where the Zhan family located was situated in Clear sky province.


    To reach the central region, the group of Zhan Chen must cross the Western region and the great Shredded mountain range which was also known as the most dangerous ce of Western region.


    Shredded mountain province was located at the eastern most part of Western region and named after the Shredded mountain range.


    The group of Zhan Chen had currently choosen to rest in a valley which lied beneath a small mountain. There was chances of Magical beasts attack but with the presence Shen n experts, their threat was negligible.


    Shen family experts climbed the mountain and returned with some wild rabbits with them. Fire was put up and the rabbit were ced above the fire to roast.


    Zhan Chen noticed some curious nces towards him. It was Li Yan who was looking towards him asionally. Her curiousity was expected as she came to know about the rtionship between Zhan Chen and her sister.


    "Miss Yan, do you like to tell anything?", Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Yan. Li Yan shook her head and turned her head to look away. Li Shu smiled after seeing the interaction between her sister and Zhan Chen.


    Li Shu followed after Zhan Chen to his tent after eating the roasted rabbit. She didn''t have any care about what people would think as she never hesitated to describe Zhan Chen as her man.


    She may not care but Zhan Chen wouldn''t put her in any embarassing situation just because of his desire. He spread his soul consciousness and saw the asional nces of experts towards his tent. Even the female experts of Shen n were throwing some weired nces towards Zhan Chen''s tent.


    "Miss Shu, return to your tent first. We can not do anything here. Others were looking towards our tent", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Shu


    "Young master, I...", Li Shu wanted to say something but Zhan Chen interjected her with his own words.


    "Miss Shu, I know what you want to tell. Thanks foring to apany me. Please go over and wait for sometime. You cane to the woods in the midnight. I will be waiting for you there", Zhan Chen smiled towards Li Shu.


    Li Shu nodded her head shyly and turned around after throwing a look towards Zhan Chen. Her infatuation for Zhan Chen was at an inconceivable level as she craved for Zhan Chen''s attention and care. It was quite normal as a maiden would crave for more love after having a taste of that feeling.


    "Miss Shu, wait for a minute. It will be a loss if you leave like this", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled Li Shu from behind.


    He turned around Li Shu''s body and cupper her face. Then he nted a passionate kiss on Li Shu''s pretty lips. Li Shu also copearated passionately as she licked Zhan Chen''s tongue with her own.


    "Young master Chen, please wait for me. I will definitelye in the midnight", Li Shu spoke before leaving the tent of Zhan Chen. The middle aged cultivators of Shen family felt disappointed as Li Shu returned as soon as she entered Zhan Chen''s room. Some of their imagination had run wild but reality was depressing. They moved their attention from Zhan Chen and focused on different things.


    Shen family experts didn''t even know when Zhan Chen left his tent. Zhan Chen used his movement technique and disappeared into the woods behind the tents.


    There were some magical beasts but they couldn''te near Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen used his soul pressure to push them back. Zhan Chen hopped on to a tree and sat on the top of it.


    Time passed like the drifting wind and soon the midnight descended on Northern desert continent. Zhan Chen waited patiently and a little bit of time, he saw Li Shu entering the woods.


    A smile appeared on his face after he saw the two more girls with Li Shu. There was no need to closely look at them. Only two more girls among his women could think of doing such things with him.


    Zhan Chen''s figure shed as he appeared Infront of them. "Su''er, Ling''er it is good to see you both with miss Shu", Zhan Chen smiled towards the three girls.


    "Young master", a happy look appeared on the face of Su''er and Ling''er after thew saw Zhan Chen.


    "You two girls! Has Ruyan allowed you both toe?", Zhan Chen asked with a little bit of curiousity in his eyes. Knowing Shen Ruyan, she would never allow to take such unnecessary risks. With her position, it would be bad if others found out that her personal maids were meeting with a man in secret.


    "Young master, young miss only said us to be careful. She didn''t stop us when we leave with sister Shu", Su''er replied. Zhan Chen nodded his head and released his soul consciousness.


    "Come with me, there is a good ce I have discovered", Zhan Chen spoke. The three girls nodded their head and followed after Zhan Chen.


    There was an extended piece ofnd at the corner of the mountain. A narrow path was connecting it with the mountain.


    "We can do our things here but before that let me remove an annoying earthworm", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Thud!",before Su''er, Ling''er and Li Shu could understand anything, a gigantic creature fell to the ground.


    "Oh my god! what a big snake", Ling''er cried out and unconsciously clenched her hand on Zhan Chen''s clothes. Li Shu was also same as she quicklytched herself onto Zhan Chen. Su''er slightly brace but she also took a step back after seeing the creature infront of her.


    "No need to panick. It is already dead", Zhan Chen spoke with an assuring tone on his voice.


    "Really?", Ling''er blinked her eyes in disbelief.


    "Check it if you don''t believe", Zhan Chen smiled towards the frightened Ling''er.


    "How did it die? From the look of it, it is atleast a peak stage grade three magical beast!", Li Shu eximed.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 113 - The Dilemma Of Kai Min

    The snake was a gigantic python of purple white colour. From the head to tail, it would almost measure thirty five feets in length.


    Ling''er threw a sneaky nce at Zhan Chen as she wanted to see the expression on Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen''s expression was nonchnt. He looked at the snake lying infront of him with a smiling face.


    "Young master, it is you right?", Su''er looked towards Zhan Chen. Among Zhan Chen''s women, Su''er was the most straightforward and upfront. Zhan Chen felt a headacheing to his head after seeing her inquiring gaze.


    It was obvious that anyone would feel suspicious after seeing such an inconceivable incident and among those who were present at the time, only Zhan Chen could possibly pull up such a feet.


    "Ok, no need to guess anymore. I am the one who has killed this snake now", Zhan Chen admitted his doing as he looked at the three girls.


    "I know it is the doing of young master", Ling''er beamed.


    "Young master Chen is amazing", Li Shu thought to herself as an infatuated look appeared in her face. Zhan Chen never fell to amaze her and the more she came to know him, the more she bacame fell in love with Zhan Chen.


    "Let me clear this obstacle first", Zhan Chen spoke. He channeled the energy gathered inside his body and wrapped his leg with strands of True essence energy.


    With a single kick, the huge body of purple white python lifted up in air. Then it fell from extendednd of the mountain.


    Without further dy, Zhan Chen pulled up Li Shu close to him. He moved her body as her back rubbed against his chest. Zhan Chen stretched out his hands grabbed the budding peaks of Li Shu.


    "Ahhhh~", Li Shu moaned as Zhan Chen was not at all gentle with her peaks. She felt heat surging in her body as Zhan Chen yed with her bouncy peaks.


    Zhan Chen removed a hand from her peaks and stretched it towards her thighs. He ced his palm above her hidden entrance and rubbed it without minding the dress Li Shu was wearing.


    Li Shu''s face became crimson red as lust of fire engulfed her entire body. Zhan Chen''s strong hand was massaging her peaks and with the close proximity they were standing, Li Shu could smell the unique masculine smell of Zhan Chen.


    "Mmmmm~


    Ahhhhh~", Li Shu let out faint moans as Zhan Chen yed with her body skillfully. Zhan Chen let go of her after her little sister started to drool.


    Zhan Chen pulled Su''er next and moved her back towards him. With the skill of his hands, it didn''t take time for Su''er to ready for dual cultivation.


    Zhan Chen pulled Ling''er atst and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips. Then he turned her body and made her lean on his chest. He massaged the bouncy globes of Ling''er for sometime and then switched to rub her cave entrance. It took only a minute for Ling''er''s little sister to leak out some of her fragrant water.


    "Su''er, miss Shu, please take out your lower garments. There is no need to take off your dresses from your upper body", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Expectant looks appeared on both of the girls eyes as they took off their dresses with a blush. Zhan Chen undressed Ling''er himself and take out his pant without removing his robe.


    His little brother was standing tall as it revealed it''s mighty appearance infront of the three girls.


    Ling''er swallowed her saliva nervously as she stared at the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, let me take care of it", Su''er spoke and knelt down infront of Zhan Chen.


    She stroked Zhan Chen''s dragon with her hand and then brought her mouth close to it. Then with a light movement of her mouth, she took in the tip of Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her mouth.


    Ling''er and Li Shu also followed after Su''er and knelt beside Su''er. Ling''er struck out her little tongue and started to massage one side of Zhan Chen''s dragon with her tongue.


    Li Shu was one step ahead as she eyed the family treasure of Zhan Chen. She struck out her tongue and gently licked the dangling family treasures of Zhan Chen.


    "Shhh!", Zhan Chen felt a great sense of pleasure as all three girls tried their best to please him. Zhan Chen clenched his palm around the silky hair of Su''er. Then he pulled her mouth more closer towards him.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", an erotic sound came out from Su''er''s mouth as her mouth took in the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen. Ling''er tried to lick as much as she could as she assisted Su''er in pleasing Zhan Chen.


    After licking for sometime, Li Shu took in the family treasures of Zhan Chen into her mouth. Zhan Chen felt incredibly good as Li Shu''s fragrant saliva covered his family treasures.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon throbbed inside the mouth of Su''er''s mouth as Su''er moved her mouth along with the movement of Zhan Chen''s hand.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist and his dragon traveled much deeper into Su''er''s mouth.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Su''er moved her mouth rapidly and matched her speed with the movement of Zhan Chen''s waist. After few thrusting, Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from Ling''er''s mouth and pushed it towards Ling''er''s mouth.


    Su''er took a deep breath to chase away the feeling of asphyxiation andhelped Li Shu in taking care of Zhan Chen''s family treasures.


    Zhan Chen picked up the hair of Ling''er and pushed her mouth more closer to his dragon. Ling''er took in the dragon of Zhan Chen''s mouth with a light movement and continued to move her head back and forth to please Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist after a minute and thrusted his dragon much deeper inside Ling''er''s mouth.


    Ling''er saliva had a different feeling than Su''er. Zhan Chen felt a different kind of pleasure as he thrusted his dragon inside Ling''er''s mouth. Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched in pleasure as it received the care of Ling''er''s mouth.


    ---------------


    Kai Min had a conflicted look on her face as she looked towards the direction of woods where the silhouettes of Li Shu, Ling''er and Su''er disappeared.


    "Should I go or should I not go?", Kai Min could not decide what to do as she struggled inside her mind.


    What Zhan Chen did for her and her family was too big a favour for her to repay. She was a girl with her own pride but her pride was nothing whenpared to the incredible kindness that Zhan Chen shown to her family.


    She knew Zhan Chen had his own motive but still freeing her parents from the clutch of heartless Kai n elders was too big a favour. The doubt and ill feeling she had towards Zhan Chen disappeared as soon as she saw the relived look on her parents face.


    She couldn''t properly thank Zhan Chen during the journey. Now that she had the chance, she wanted to go into woods to look for Zhan Chen but she knew he was with other girls now. So, she felt reluctant to meet Zhan Chen such a situation.


    "Kai Min, are you thinking about that disgusting person now?", the voice of Li Yan came to the ears of Kai Min.


    She turned her head and saw Li Yan, the daughter of grandmaster Li standing beside her. Kai Min didn''t even realise when Li Yan came to stand beside her.


    "Miss Yan, whom are you referring to?", Kai Min looked towards Li Yan. She knew very well whom she was referring to but her heart didn''t feel good when she heard others speak ill about Zhan Chen. So, she feigned ignorance and looked towards Li Yan.


    "Kai Min, no need to pretend. You know very well whom I am referring to. You may be feeling indebted but I can take the name of Zhan Chen without fear.


    What is he? A mere descendant of a noble family of Red cloud kingdom. How can he bepared to our Li n? I don''t know what trick he yed to get sister Shu", Li Yan spoke with an angered look on her face.


    Kai Min shook her head as she knew it was pointless to argue with Li Yan. Li Yan was arrogant and aloof since her birth. Now, it was hard for Li Yan to digest the fact that young master from a small family dare to make love with her sister Li Shu, the most talented weaponsmith of Li n.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 114 - Music Of Passion In The Middle Of Night

    It was only due to Shen Ruyan that Li Yan had choosen not to confront Zhan Chen about the matter between him and Li Shu but after seeing Li Shu leaving towards woods, she guessed what was going on.


    Instinct of women were the most dangerous thing in the world and they were more sensitive than usual towards the matter between men and women.


    Zhan Chen had no idea that some arrogant girl was badmouthing him. He was busy in thrusting his dragon inside the mouth of Li Shu.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Li Shu moved her mouth back and forth as she did her best to please the little brother of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen moved his waist and continued to thrust his dragon inside Li Shu''s mouth.


    Li Shu''s tongue wrapped around Zhan Chen''s dragon and moved along with Zhan Chen''s movement. Zhan Chen''s dragon bulged up as it felt the soft feeling of Li Shu''s tongue.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from Li Shu''s mouth before she felt ufortable. He gave a moment for her to catch her breath.


    Then he picked up Li Shu by her waist and turned around her body.


    "Miss Shu ce your hands on the tree. Let me do it from behind", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Shu''s face turned crimson after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. She could understand the meaning behind Zhan Chen''s words.


    Li Shu stretched out her hands and leaned against the tree. Her bending posture exposed her two lovely half moons infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen took a good view of Li Shu''s lovely looking peaches. Her peaches were fleshy and attractive to eyes. Zhan Chen stretched out his hands and sqeezed the half moons of Li Shu for few times.


    He didn''t want to make Li Shu wait as her pretty looking half moons stared at his dragon with an inviting posture.


    Zhan Chen ced his dragon in between her half moons where the entrance to her sacred treasure lied. Li Shu''s little sister was already drooling. Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on her entrance for few times. Then, with a single thrust he prated the sacred cave of Li Shu.


    "Ahhhhhh~", Li Shu moaned as she felt the iparably thick rod of Zhan Chen entering her sacred cave. She took one step ahead to stable herself. Zhan Chen reached out to grab one of her dangling peaks and thrusted his dragon much deeper into Li Shu''s cave.


    "Ahhhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~


    Ahhhhhhhhh~", Li Shu moaned as Zhan Chen thrusted his dragon inside her sacred cave.


    The moon light was reflecting on the white stones scattered across the extended piece of mountain. In the narrow terrain, there was no other vegetation except the tree beneath which Zhan was pounding Li Shu.


    The soul stirring view and the cold wind lit up the desire of both Ling''er and Su''er. Ling''er was the first who couldn''t control her desire anymore.


    She kept looking at Zhan Chen who was prating Li Shu with iparable agression. His hands were on the waist of Li Shu as his waist kept colliding with the back of Li Shu.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah", the stimting sound of flesh colliding made it more difficult for Ling''er and Su''er to control the desire of their bodies.


    Ling''er didn''t know when but her hand reached towards her ownher region. Herher region was already wet. She rubbed her fingers on the entrance of her cave and looked towards the entangled figure of Zhan Chen and Li Shu.


    "You two girls, no need to do it on your own. Come and lean beside miss Shu. It would be best if we do it together", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Ling''er and Su''er came near Zhan Chen and Li Shu as both of them upied the two sides of Li Shu. They ced their hands on the tall tree and exposed their back to Zhan Chen.


    Two simr looking peaches with one of them slightly smaller than other two entered the sight of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen let go of his hands from Li Shu''s waist. He stretched out both of his hands and grabbed the pretty looking peaches of Ling''er and Su''er.


    "Ahhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~


    Ahhhhhhh~", three beauties moaned simultaneously as Zhan Chen kept prating one of them and was massaging the supple backs of other two.


    After a few more thrusts, Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from Li Shu''s cave. Li Shu was feeling hot all over her body as she was only few thrusts away from releasing her yin liquid. Zhan Chen gave her some time to calm down a little as he ced his dragon on Ling''er''s cave.


    "Mmmmmm~", Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on the entrance of her sacred cave. Zhan Chen''s dragon was already slippery by the moist cave of Li Shu. It became more excited after rubbing against the moist entrance of Ling''er.


    "Ahhhhhhh~", Ling''er let out a loud moan as Zhan Chen pentrated her cave with a single thrust. Ling''er''s cave wall contracted as the nerves of her cave wall did their best to amodate therge dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~young master~Ahhhhh~", Ling''er continued to moan as Zhan Chen pound Ling''er from behind.


    When Ling''er thought she couldn''t take it anymore as her mind started to nk out, Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from Ling''er''s cave. Some yin liquid still came out from Ling''er''s cave wetting the skin of her thighs.


    Zhan Chen switched to Li Shu again who was standing in between Ling''er and Su''er. Su''er was getting impatient as she was squeezing one of her peak with her hand. Zhan Chen made her wait more as she rubbed his dragon on the entrance of Li Shu''s cave.


    "Mmmmmm~", Li Shu moaned as the lost sensation of peak pleasure came to his mind. He squirmed her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. a little and tried to be more intimate with Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    She felt something was building up in her lower belly region as Zhan Chen rubbed the tip of his dragon on Li Shu''s entrance. Li Shu''s breathes became rapid as lust overwhelmed her mind. When she anticipated Zhan Chen would pentrate her, Zhan Chen did the opposite.


    He took out his dragon and pointed it towards entrance of Su''er.


    "Young master, you are too~", Li Shu felt frustrated but she didn''t know why she was feeling much pleasure. Teasing of Zhan Chen was too good for her. She was already in a peak state of pleasure. She couldn''t wait anymore and started to pleasure her body on her own.


    Li Shu stretched out her hand and ced it in between her thighs. She was still supporting her body with one of her hand as her other hand reached towards her ownher region.


    "Miss Shu, it looks like you can''t hold yourself any longer", Zhan Chen grinned as he rubbed his dragon on Su''er''s cave.


    Li Shu blushed but rubbing herself infront of Zhan Chen gave herself some unknown amount of pleasure.


    "Ahhhhhh~ it ising~", Li Shu moaned as a stream of yin water poured out from her cave. Her body twitched in pleasure as she leaned against the tree to support herself.


    "Ahhhhhh~", Su''er let out a surprised moan as Zhan Chen prated her deely without any warning whatsover. Before Su''er could understand, Zhan Chen had already prated the deep corner of her sacred cave.


    Li Shu''s doings had some kind of chain effect on Ling''er who was watching from the side. She was no stranger to doing stuffs like pleasing herself. She rubbed her cave entrance while watching Zhan Chen prating her sister Su''er.


    "Ahhhhhh~young master~ it is too deep", Su''er moaned as Zhan Chen pounded her passionately from her back.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah", Zhan Chen moved his waist as the sound of flesh collision reveberated in the air.


    "Ahhhh~young master", Su''er moaned as Zhan Chen prated her until she couldn''t think straight.


    "Ahhhhh~I aming", Ling''er moaned and spurted out her yin water from her cave.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhhh~", Su''er moaned as Zhan Chen continued to thrust his dragon inside Su''er''s cave. It had been only half an hour since they started their dual cultivation. Yet, two girls had already came once in such a small timespan. Zhan Chen was helpless when it came to the endurance of his girls. Actually, it was other way. No, ordinary men even cultivator could have endured such long battle with three girls. At most few hours, they would have run out of yang essence.


    In this case, Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu were pretty normal as they could endure the assault of Zhan Chen for three to four times in a single night. As for Zhan Chen, he was a wonder and would be the cause of jealousy and envy of all the men if his capability would be exposed infront of the world.


    "Ahhhhhh~young master~It ising~", Su''er moaned and spurted out a stream of yin water from her cave. Zhan Chen''s dragon became drenched by the rain of her yin water as it became more mighty by the pleasure it was feeling.


    Zhan Chen gave all three girls few moments to take a breather. Then he again started to prate them from their back. It was only after an hour of long battle did he released his yang essence inside the cave of Su''er.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 115 - Thoughts Of A Maiden

    Night was long and the mountain wind was blowing on the extended piece of mountain where Zhan Chen was doing dual cultivation with Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu.


    "Young master if it is possible we would like to stay for little bit longer....", Su''er spoke as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "There is no need. You girls have already stayed for three hours. You need to take rest to keep your body fresh for journey", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He nted kisses on all three girls lips and sent them down to the valley. After making sure that Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu went back to their tents, he sat down to cultivate a little.


    Zhan Chen operated Celestial Yin Yang sutra as the Yinyang divine diagram above his dantian lit up. It sucked all the yin essence gathered in Zhan Chen''s body.


    A stream of True essence energy came out from the divine diagram as Zhan Chen circted the True essence energy all over his body. It took only some minutes for Zhan Chen to absorb all the yin essence he had received from the dual cultivation with Ling''er, Su''er and Li Shu.


    "Seems like I have to dual cultivate with more partners or make some girls of higher cultivation realm my women. Otherwise, It will take a long time to reach the Core Condensation realm", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He opened his eyes and stood up. After stretching his body a little, he spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding.


    "Miss Min! Why is sheing here?", Zhan Chen murmured and looked towards a certain direction. After sometime, the silhouette of Kai Min entered his eyes.


    "Miss Min, what are you doing on the mountain?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min.


    Kai Min observed the amiable expression of Zhan Chen and aplicated expression appeared in her eyes. She took a moment to clear all the thoughts of hesitation and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Young master Chen, I havee to talk with you", Kai Min spoke.


    "Talk with me?", Zhan Chen felt surprise for a moment and looked towards Kai Min. Kai Min nodded her head as a serious expression appeared on her face.


    "Miss Min, you are wee to discuss whatever you want", Zhan Chen smiled towards Kai Min. He had already made his intention clear to her. Now, he was fine with whatever Kai Min chose.


    "First of all, many thanks for your benevolence towards my family. As for the other matters, can I ask young master Chen some questions?", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "There is no need to ask for my permission. Please feel free to ask whatever questions you have in your mind", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Young master, do you really want me to be your woman?", Kai Min asked and observed the expression on Zhan Chen''s face. She wanted Zhan Chen to be honest with her as she was deciding on a matter very important for her life.


    Zhan Chen could see through her intention and it felt normal to him as every girl would like to see the feeling of their partners before deciding to spend their lives with them.


    "Miss Min, you yourself is very beautiful and the fact about your body makes you more attractive for me. So, I have decided to make you my woman as long as you agree", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Young master Chen, do you really like me?", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head without hesitation as he looked at the beautiful face of Kai Min.


    "You have so many girls around you. How do you know that you really like everyone of them?", Kai Min asked as it was a question that bothered her very much.


    If Zhan Chen only wanted to take her for her body them she was nning not to resist. But she had decided to leave if Zhan Chen turned out to be such a hateful person. For the benevolence he had shown to her family, she would happily give her body to him. But there would be no attachment and she would left once Zhan Chen spent his first night with her.


    "How should I put it? I really love every girl around me. I am really grateful to receive their care and love. I don''t know how much I love them but everyone whom I consider as my women are very dear to me. I will never let any harm befallen on them as long as I am watching over them", Zhan Chen replied.


    "As for you miss Min, it is upon you whether you will agree to be my woman or not. As for the help of mine, please don''t be burdened by it. I will respect your decision whether it is a yes or no", Zhan Chen added further.


    Kai Min became silent for a while after hearing the reply of Zhan Chen. She didn''t have anything left to ask as Zhan Chen had exined everything frankly. Now, it was her own decision to decide.


    Kai Min looked at Zhan Chen closely. There was a sincere expression on his face. Kai Min couldn''t detect any hint of lust or desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen also looked at the eyes of Kai Min who was observing his eyes closely. Both of their eyes met and both could see the feelings of eachother.


    Kai Min became enamoured by the clear and deep eyes of Zhan Chen. All thoughts of hesitation cleared from her mind as a seed of special feeling appeared inside her heart.


    Kai Min blushed and looked away after a minute. Zhan Chen didn''t wait to hear her response as he was clear about her decision from the eye contact they had.


    He went forward and cupped the face of Kai Min gently. Kai Min''s body shook slightly as she felt the touch of Zhan Chen. But she didn''t resist as Zhan Chen leaned slightly and brought his lips close to Kai Min''s.


    Kai Min''s lips were thin and reddish pink in colour. Zhan Chen felt a smooth sensation as he took in the lips of Kai Min with his own.


    Kai Min was slightly stiff and inexperienced in her movement but Zhan Chen gently guided her lips with his own and before long Kai Min also started to respond in tandem with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen parted her lips and invaded her mouth with his tongue. Kai Min''s little tongue came in contact with Zhan Chen''s tongue as both of them tasted the saliva of eachother.


    Kai Min''s face waspletely reddened when Zhan Chen withdrew his lips from the lips of Kai Min. Kai Min was too shy to look at Zhan Chen as she lowered her head and looked towards her toes.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the shy expression of Kai Min. He pulled Kai Min closer and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips again.


    Kai Min started to feel hot all over her body as Zhan Chen kept stirring up her emotion. As the bearer of Poisonous yin body, thest thing she could tolerate was the physical stimtion.


    Her eyes got hazy as her suppressed desire red up again. It was a situation she was trying hard to cope with but it was bing increasingly difficult for her to control her urges.


    Whenever she was feeling stimted, she was finding it hard to control her own movement. Her hands would automatically find their way towards herher region as she would start to please herself. The soul stirring scene was still fresh in Zhan Chen''s mind as he bear witness to the scene of Li Shu and Kai Min pleasing themshelves by rubbing their little sisters.


    "Miss Min, looks like I have to take care of your body. We can heal your bodyter but for now it wouldn''t be a problem to relieve yourself from some of the yin energy", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 116 - Cloud Forest Range

    Zhan Chen and Kai Min walked out of the mountain while holding eachother intimately. Kai Min was too shy to look at Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen was holding her waist with his hand.


    Her undergarment still had some wet patches as they were sticking close to her thighs. Kai Min felt like hiding in a hole whenever she recalled the actions of Zhan Chen.


    "How can he lick that dirty ce of mine?", Kai Min thought to herself whenever she recalled the shameless things she was doing with Zhan Chen. The fire of passion that had just gone away started to lit once again in the heart of Kai Min.


    "Miss Min, control your thoughts. We can do it once again after reaching the Shredded mountain province", Zhan Chen said with a smile on his face.


    "I am not thinking anything", Kai Min denied hurriedly as a red blush appeared on her beautiful face.


    "There is no harm in admitting it. You have the Poisonous yin body. So, it is normal to have a more sensitive body than others", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "When do you think my symptoms will go away fully?", Kai Min asked Zhan Chen.


    "You don''t have to worry. I have already prepared everything for it. To cleanse your body from the built up yin energy, I need to reciprocate with sufficient yang energy. I will concoct a pill when we reach the border of Northern region", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Hmm, I can wait for few more days", Kai Min spoke.


    Upon arriving at the end of the woods, both Zhan Chen and Kai Min separated from each other. Zhan Chen entered his tent and Kai Min also entered the tent which was meant for her, Li Shu and Li Yan. Zhan Chen decided to cultivate a while. He sat crosslegged inside his tent and closed his eyes.


    Zhan Chen operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and the yin energy he had absorbed from Kai Min entered the Divine Yinyang diagram.


    The divine Yinyang diagram glowed faintly and released a thick stream of True essence energy. Zhan Chen circted the thick strreams of True essence energy inside his body as his cultivation increased in a visible speed.


    His cultivation reached the peak of fourth stage of True essence realm and climbed further. It finally stopped at the peak of Fifth stage of Meridian opening realm.


    Zhan Chen operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and circted True essence energy inside his body for some time. He stopped after the True essence energypleted some cycles. His cultivation finally stabilized at the peak of Fifth stage of True essence realm.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes and looked at the sky which was gradually bing clear. The sun was raising it''s head from the distant east horizon.


    "The amount of yin energy she has inside her body is really scary. What I absorbed today is only part of her yin energy. Yet, I have managed to pass through a stage. What will happen when I absorb her all stored up yin essence", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Sky cleared up gradually as the golden rays of sun scattered across the valley. Li Yan came out from her tent and Zhan Chen followed after her. Li Shu, Kai Min came out next followed by Ling''er and Su''er.


    The mood of the Shen n experts lighten up after seeing the looks on every girls'' face. Only Kai Min couldn''t take rest properly but she still had a glowing look on her face.


    Shen Ruyan came out atst and as usual she was wearing a veil to cover her face. A single veil couldn''t cover the beauty of her kind and the charm of other girls seemed to dim slightly when she joined the other girls.


    Shen Ruyan threw a look towards Zhan Chen and moved towards her spirit deer.


    The magical beasts were already full of energy after a good night rest. It took only few minutes for Shen n experts to put away the tents.


    After thest man rode his horned lion the group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan continued their journey to the Centralnd. This time their aim was to reach the Shredded mountain province which was the gateway to centralnd.


    Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan''s group came close to border of Clear sky province after an hour of journey.


    "The border of our home province. We will step into a foreign province after crossing the Cloud forest range", Li Shu murmured. Li Yan also took ast look behind as the group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan didn''t stop at the border. They entered the dense looking forest range where the trees were seemed to be touching the sky.


    Cloud forest range, the name came from the trees which seemed to touch the clouds on the sky. Every province was vast and had its own topology.


    The clear sky province only had small hills and mountains but the unique thing about it was the vat sea at its southern end and the Cloud forest range at its northern end.


    Compared to Shredded mountain range which was known as the most dangerous zone of the western region, Cloud forest range was still safe but it was onlypared to the Shredded mountain range.


    Cloud forest range, itself was a dangerous ce where strength ruled over all. Hiding behind the gigantic trees were many kinds of magical beasts and without sufficient strength, one would find it difficult to crossover the forest range. This was the reason whymon people generally didn''t cross over the boder of the provinces.


    The looks on the faces of the Shen n guards became serious after they entered the Cloud forest range. Their entourage had choosen a side path and didn''t enter the centre of the Cloud forest range but still there was need to remain cautious. Otherwise, noone could tell when a person faced his or her demise here.


    The looks on the faces of Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min were tense as all of them heard about the famous Cloud forest range which lied at the border between Clear sky province and Shredded mountain province.


    Compared to their looks, Zhan Chen had a rxed look on his face. But he had still taken precaution as his soul consciousness was already covering the surrounding forest. Nothing could escape from his soul sense, not even the ze striped tiger which was lying in wait on the branch of a tree.


    The first in the entourage was a peak stage Core Condensation realm expert of Shen n. A fifth stage expert of his n was following behind him as they were making sure to not expose Shen Ruyan to any of the danger.


    Generally, fifth stage experts could have sensed the presence of danger as their senses were better than first to fourth stage experts.


    After crossing over the fourth stage, the Core Condensation realm, one would reach the Martial ascension realm. Martial ascension realm was a huge evolution which changed the quality of one''s body and soul.


    No matter how experienced the fifth stage experts were they could perceive the danger within the range of few meters. So, they couldn''t possibly see the ze striped tiger which was concealing itself on the branch of a tree which was almost thirty meter in height.


    Many stray beasts ran back as they sensed danger from the experts of the Shen n. The entourage of Shen Ruyan and Zhan Chen moved past the meandering path of the forest and walked into more depth.


    The final one in the entourage was a fourth stage expert of Shen n. Zhan Chen slowed down his horned lion knowingly and let other Shen n experts cross past his horned lion.


    The experts of Shen n found it odd but they also didn''t care. If it was not for their miss and the identity of Zhan Chen, they wouldn''t have bother to take a green brat like Zhan Chen to the centralnd. So, they let him did as he pleased.


    The ze striped tiger waited patiently and finally lunged forward towards thest Shen family expert who had a cultivation of third stage of Core Condensation realm.


    The horned lion which was giving a ride to the fourth stage expert of Shen n felt the danger early. It tried to dodge but how can a skilled hunter like ze striped lion give it a chance.


    It moved the path of its descend strangely and lunged towards the fourth stage expert of Shen n. The fourth stage expert of Shen n took out his weapon hurriedly but before he could do anything, the ze striped thunder tiger was already near his body.


    All of this took many lines to exin but the happenings was only the matter of some split seconds.


    When the fate seemed gray for the Shen n expert a shadow moved towards the ze striped tiger and a pitch ck sword protruded out from the neck of the ze striped tiger.


    The descend of the tiger slowed down a bit but it still crashed on the horned lion of the fourth stage expert of Shen n.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 117 - A Nosy Girl

    Zhan Chen felt resistance when he tried to pull out the sword from the neck of the ze striped tiger. A feeling came to his heart as if the sword was unwilling to leave.


    He recalled the bizzareness of his sword and pulled it out forcefully. After he exerted some more force, his sword came out from the neck of the ze striped tiger.


    "What just happened?", thest expert who had just crossed Zhan Chen stopped his horned lion and turned back.


    Zhan Chen had pulled out his sword even before the expert Infront of him could take a look at his sword. He looked towards the surprised Shen n expert with a nonchnt expression on his face.


    "ze striped tiger!", the expert of the Shen n eximed after seeing the already dead ze striped tiger.


    "Hah!", the expert whose body was just buried along with his horned lion threw the body of ze striped tiger to side and stood up.


    "Brother Lao, what just happened? What is with the ze striped tiger?", the expert who had just turned back to check out the things asked the Shen n expert who was attacked by the ze striped tiger.


    The incident created a smallmotion among the Shen n experts and their expression changed whenever they looked towards Zhan Chen. A sixteen year boy killing fourth grade magical beasts were too much of a surprise to them. Even the Martial ascension realm experts of Shen n felt surprise by the doings of Zhan Chen.


    "Be cautious. Everyone watch over the people close to you", the Shen family expert who was leading the entouragemanded.


    Everyone cautiously proceeded in the woods but Zhan Chen had a different matter to figure out. This was the first time he had used his sword ''Devour'' to kill a magical beast.


    Earlier, he had felt a reluctant feeling from the sword. It was not that surprising for him to feel emotion from a sword.


    As a sword cultivator in his past life, Zhan Chen knew what was it meant for a sword to have emotion. It meant he had luckily managed to get a sacred grade treasure for himself.


    But what was baffling for him was the fact which he had witnessed with his soul consciousness. After taking out his sword, Zhan Chen checked the body of ze striped tiger with his soul consciousness.


    And the unintentional action from him left him baffled. Because the ze striped tiger was devoid of True essence energy which should be plenty in a rank four magical beast. There was only a little True essence energy left which was even lesser than the essence energy of a grade two magical beast.


    "I need to find more targets. I know this sword is unusual. But to think that it has the ability to suck away essence energy!", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He stopped his train of thought within a moment. But his eyes were trained on the dense woods to find more targets for his sword. He very much wanted to check the peculiar power of his sword. After travelling for some time, his eyes lit up as he looked ahead.


    "Be careful. There is a pack of magical beasts ahead", the lead expert of Shen n shouted.


    Every experts of Shen n drew their weapons as they cautiously followed behind the Martial ascension realm expert of Shen n. Liu Nanxi was following behind Shen Ruyan as usual. She didn''t take out any weapon but an aleart look appeared on her old face.


    With a Martial ascension realm expert like Liu Nanxi by her side, Shen Ruyan was extremely safe. Zhan Chen looked towards the other girls.


    Ling''er and Su''er were each apanied by a fourth stage expert of Shen n. Moreover, their horned lions were just behind the horned lion of Liu Nanixi. So, they were pretty much safe despite the approaching danger.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min, each were riding a horned lion of their own. Each horned lion was a peak grade three magical beast but Zhan Chen wouldn''t let some grade three beasts fight for the safety of his women.


    He urged his horned lion and the horned lion took him to the group of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    "Young master Chen", Li Shu called out happily after seeing Zhan Chening towards them. She had a odd weapon of choice as she was holding a heavy looking hammer to protect herself.


    Kai Min didn''t say anything but she sneakily took some shy nces towards Zhan Chen. "Miss Shu, miss Min, no need to worry. No magical beast will attack you as long as I stay here", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile.


    "Big talk", Li Yan snorted from the side. She had a look of disgust on her face as she looked at the look of infatuation on the face of her sister. The unpleasant feeling for Zhan Chen increased in her heart after she saw the smiling face of Zhan Chen and the shy look on the face of Kai Min.


    "This bastard!", she gnashed her teeth in anger.


    Zhan Chen had no time for a nosy girl like Li Yan. He focused his gaze ahead where the danger was approaching for their group.


    It wasmon knowledge that Cloud forest range was full of danger and the group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan wouldn''t walk away from the Cloud forest range without facing the dangers of Cloud forest range.


    Pairs of eyes trained over them as the Shen n experts felt a chill on their heart. Even the faces of Martial ascension realm experts of Shen n turned serious as they remained alert.


    "It is the only way. There are other magical beasts in nearby area also. So, there is no point in avoiding one and entering the territory of other", Zhan Chen muttered to himself.


    The magical beasts came out one by one as they covered the group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan from three sides. The only direction that they had not covered was the back direction which the group of Zhan Chen wouldn''t choose even in trouble.


    One would only be called a fool if they turned their tails and turned back, only to find a group of blood thirst magical beasts chasing behind them.


    "Sister Su''er, I am scared", Ling''er spoke as a look of trepidation appeared in her eyes.


    "No need to fear. Just hold your weapon and try to defend yourself", the fourth stage expert of Shen n who was apanying Ling''er spoke as she looked towards the approaching magical beasts with uneasiness in her eyes.


    The approaching magical beasts were pitch ck in appearance and their backs had a metalic luster. Some pointed spikes were protruding out of their metalic backs.


    "Ironback wolves", the fourth stage expert of Shen n muttered to herself as she tightened her grip on her weapon.


    Zhan Chen was watching the pack of Ironback wolves since a long time. The number of Ironback wolves were seventy as they were being led by a grade five Ironback wolves.


    Magical beasts would never tolerate if someone encroach on their territory and the Ironback wolves were no exception to this natural rule of the forest.


    Like humans, the magical beasts also had intelligence and they became more intelligent with increase in their levels.


    The leader of Ironback wolves scanned the three Martial ascension realm experts of Shen n. As for the others, it only had scorn on its face.


    "Aoww...", the leader of Ironback wolves howled.


    "Aow...


    Aow...


    Aoww....."


    the other Ironback wolves howled in return after hearing the howl of their leader.


    Then one after another theyunched themshelves towards the group of Shen Ruyan and Zhan Chen.


    "A perfect opportunity to test my sword", Zhan Chen spoke as he took out the sword Devour from his back.


    The experts of the Shen n also gathered together as they form a circr formation with Shen Ruyan in their centre.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as it was the prove of the Shen n experts'' battle awareness. Two Martial ascension realm experts of Shen n moved outward as they focused their eyes on the powerful looking Ironback wolves.


    After the quick exchange between their eyes, every Shen n experts knew what was their next course of actions would be. They had tacit understanding among them as they readied themshelves to face the approaching Ironback wolves.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 118 - Battle Prowess Of Zhan Chen

    "Bone shing wind of West mountain", a fourth stage expert of Shen n roared out as heunched an attack towards the approaching Ironback wolves.


    The target of his attack was a grade four magical beast who was the quickest to reach near their entourage. Three to four grade three Ironback wolves were following behind the grade four Ironback wolf as they quickly approached the side of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan''s group.


    In response to the attack of the fourth stage expert of Shen n, the grade four magical beast responded with an attack of its own.


    The grade four Ironback wolf opened its mouth and shoot an essence energy attack to meet the attack of Shen family expert.


    "Boom!", a resounding sound of collision produced as the attacks of both side collided.


    Soon enough, choas engulfed the ce as Ironback wolves started to pour in from different directions.


    Zhan Chen took out his sword as he kept an eye on the attacking Ironback wolves. Soon enough, as he expected the Shen n experts found it difficult to defend the inner circle. There were only a few Shen n experts but the number of magical beasts were overwhelming.


    With addition to the resilience of the Ironback wolves, the Shen n experts found it difficult to handle the situation. The stage five peak expert of Shen n had not attacked yet as he was looking towards the leader of Ironback wolves.


    The other grade five expert of Shen n was fighting it out with a group of three peak stage grade four Ironback wolves. Zhan Chen took a look at the situation and sprang into action.


    Kai Min also wanted to follow behind Zhan Chen as she took out her sword. But before she could do anything, Zhan Chen''s silhouette blurred out from her vision.


    "How fast!", Li Yan eximed as a surprised look appeared in her eyes. Zhan Chen appeared near a grade three Ironback wolf and swung his sword downward.


    There was no sound but the sword Devour easily paased through the defence of Ironback wolf. Zhan Chen didn''t even wait to check the result as he switched to another Ironback wolf.


    Those who were looking at Zhan Chen from his back had stunned looks on their faces as they watched the headless grade three Ironback wolf.


    A shower of blood came out as the body of Ironback wolf took a step.


    "Thud!", then with a dull sound the body of Ironback wolf fell on the ground.


    Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan looked at Zhan Chen speechlessly as Zhan Chen easily took down one after another Iron wolf. He finally had to give in a little more effort as he battled a grade four Ironback wolf.


    "Unbelievable! How can he take down grade three magical beasts so easily?", Liu Nanxi muttered as she was keeping an eye on Zhan Chen along with Shen Ruyan.


    "Ruyan, what is his cultivation level?", Shen Yuxi asked. Shen Ruyan turned to look at Shen Yuxi who was riding a Horned lion along with Ling''er.


    "Aunt Yuxi, I have yet to ask his current cultivation level. Thest time I have checked on him, he was at peak stage of Meridian opening realm", Shen Ruyan replied to Shen Yuxi who had a curious expression on her eyes as she observed Zhan Chen.


    Even in such a choatic situation, Zhan Chen sessfully managed to draw the attention of Shen n experts towards him. Zhan Chen didn''t mind the curious gazes as he battled the fourth grade Ironback wolf.


    The Ironback wolf charged towards him as Zhan Chen fought it in a close quarter fight. The wolf tried to attack him with its paw but Zhan Chen easily blocked it''s attack with his sword.


    He then withdrew his sword at a faster speed and attacked the head of the Ironback wolf. A metallic sound came out as Zhan Chen''s sword couldn''t prate the thick skin of Iroback wolf.


    The Ironback wolf enraged after being attacked by Zhan Chen. it took a step back and ran around Zhan Chen to find a better angle to attack him.


    Zhan Chen didn''t move as he let the Ironback wolf did as it please. Even his sword stance was not defensive as he held the sword Devour in ax manner.


    The Ironback wolf attacked finally after running around a little. It incresed its pace and pounced towards the neck of Zhan Chen with its mouth wide upon.


    Zhan Chen didn''t move immediately as the breath of Zhan Chen''s women stopped for a moment. When the fourth grade Ironback wolf was fully assured of its victory, Zhan Chen turned his body slightly as he plunged the sword Devour from the underside of Iroback wolf''s neck.


    This time his sword didn''t meet any obstacle as it directly prated the neck of the Ironback wolf. The body of the Ironback wolf still came towards Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen''s sword plunged deeper inside the neck of the Ironback wolf.


    Zhan Chen moved slightly as the Ironback wolf fell on the ce where he was standing previously. The sword Devour was stabbed through its neck and all traces of life had gone from it by the time Zhan Chen pulled out his sword. Zhan Chen moved to his next target as he killed another grade three Ironback wolf quickly.


    "Wow, young master Chen is amazing!", Li Shu cried out as her adoration for Zhan Chen grew even further. Kai Min also had an amazed look on her eyes as she felt happy in her heart. She knew Zhan Chen was capable but after witnessing Zhan Chen''s might, she knew how incredible Zhan Chen was. The one who felt most ufortable in the group was Li Yan.


    She was earlier spewing hateful words about Zhan Chen. But after witnessing Zhan Chen''s battle prowcess she became speechless. It felt like something was struck in her throat after witnessing the battle unfolding infront of her.


    The battle seemed somehow cumbersome for Shen n experts as there were so many Ironback wolves to kill. But the blitz of Zhan Chen made it easy for Shen n experts to end the battle quickly. The battle ended formally as the fifth stage peak expert of Shen n yed the leader of the Ironback wolves.


    The group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan decided to rest a little as it was best to travel in peak condition of the body and mind. It would be risky to face another group of magical beasts herd like Ironback wolves if some of the group were not in their peak condition.


    Zhan Chen sheathed his sword after the battle was over. He moved near Kai Min and Li Shu and sat beside them.


    "Young master Chen, you are amazing today. Despite seeing for myself, I still couldn''t believe my eyes that you are ying grade four magical beasts", Kai Min spoke.


    "It is no big deal. You can also do the same after some training", Zhan Chen replied.


    He was just chatting casually when the peak level fifth stage expert of Shen n appeared near his group which wasprised of himself, Kai Min and Li Shu.


    "Young man, how are you doing?", the old looking fifth stage expert of Shen n asked Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings senior. I am doing fine", Zhan Chen replied after bowing slightly towards the peak expert of Shen n.


    The old expert of Shen n nodded his head after seeing the polite behaviour of Zhan Chen.


    "Young man, you are quite capable. Seems like the reputation of your predecessors is well deserved", the old expert of Shen n spoke with a light smile on his face.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 119 - I Will Wait As Much As You Want

    The journey continued after everyone took a little rest. The end of the day approached swiftly as the group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan traveled amongst the dense woods of Cloud forest range.


    "There is no need to travel any further today. Let''s clear the ce and wait untill the morning", the peak level fifth stage expert of Shen n spoke.


    He was travelling in the forefront. So, his words were audible for the experts who were following behind him. One after another stopped in their way after hearing themand of the peak stage expert of their n.


    Zhan Chen came down from his horned lion and looked at the surrounding. Night was descending at a first pace colouring the dense wood in a colour of pitch ck.


    "It is indeed difficult to move such arge group in the absence of the daylight. Fortunately, there is no powerful looking magical beast in the vicinity", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    There were huge crystal leaf cypress trees in the vicinity. But with the mutual effort of Shen n experts, the surrounding woods were cleared in no time.


    Zhan Chen also helped a bit as he used his True essence energy to cut down some nearby trees. Night was long and it would be dangerous to stay separated in such a ce. So, everyone sat down in groups and looked out for the safety of eachother.


    "Young master, are you hurt anywhere?", Li Shu asked as she looked towards Zhan Chen who was sitting with her, Kai Min and Li Yan.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the concerned look of Li Shu. She had already asked this question a few times after the battle with Ironback wolves had ended.


    "Miss Shu, thanks for your concern but I am not injured even slightly. It would be a disgrace if I let myself beaten by some stupid wolves. Don''t you think so miss Shu?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu with a smile.


    Li Shu blushed after seeing the smiling face of Zhan Chen. She shyly took a look at Zhan Chen and then lowered her face to avoid eye contact with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen''s every action was too deadly for her little heart. So, she lowered her head to avoid the teasing look of Zhan Chen.


    Kai Min giggled after seeing Li Shu with a reddened face. Li Yan felt surprised after seeing Kai Min smiling so happily. She had never seen Kai Min like this. As the most renowned genius of Kai family, Kai Min always had a serious look and never ever exposed herself so openly infront of others.


    Zhan Chen was also observing Kai Min. Kai Min was looking gorgeous with a smile adding to her beauty. Zhan Chen felt happy for her as he could see that Kai Min was finally opening up, letting go of her burden and worries.


    "Miss Min, you are looking more beautiful as you are now. You should smile more hereafter", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min. Kai Min blushed slightly and nodded her head after taking a look at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt a gaze on him and turned to look at the source. It was Shen Ruyan who was looking at him from a distance. She turned her gaze away after noticing Zhan Chen turning his head to look back at her. Zhan Chen smiled and turned to look at Kai Min and Li Shu again.


    "Young master Chen, when will you stop addressing us miss?", Kai Min asked. She was always a decisive girl. So, after deciding on her rtionship with Zhan Chen, she didn''t hesitate to expose her rtionship with Zhan Chen.


    Li Yan looked at Zhan Chen, Li Shu and Kai Min with a nonchnt look on her face but her mind was thinking otherwise. She was feelingplicated while looking at Zhan Chen.


    Initially, she thought Zhan Chen was a useless young master of a small noble family and cursed him many times from behind but after seeing his dashing performance, her opinion about Zhan Chen overturned.


    Zhan Chen was younger than her in age. She used to think that her cultivation was superior among the young people present in the group. So, she was feeling proud by herself. But Zhan Chen pulled her pride from root and saw her what a true talent was like. A sixteen year young mane killing grade four magical beasts! Li Yan found it inconceivable. So, after seeing Kai Min and Li Shuughing so happily with Zhan Chen, she felt ufortable in her heart. Even she didn''t know, why she was feeling like this way.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know what Li Yan was feeling and he had no special interest towards her. So, after greeting her formally, he ignored herpletely and talked with Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Miss Min, please tell me what should I call you two then?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min. After a single night with her, he found Kai Min more pleasing to his eyes. She had a noble yet fearless demeanor. Zhan Chen grew to like these traits of Kai Min.


    "I don''t know. But addressing us as miss too formal", Kai Min spoke.


    "Then how about little Shu and little Min?", Zhan Chen asked with a serious look on his face. Kai Min felt speechless after hearing the suggestion of Zhan Chen. Her face reddened as she blushed heavily.


    -----------------


    "Aunt, where are you going?", Su''er asked the Shen n female expert who was traveling together with her.


    "Little Su''er, rest by yourself for a while. I willl be back after sometime", the Shen n female expert replied and walked towards the woods behind.


    After going some distance, the Shen family female expert changed direction and turned towards another direction.


    A silhouette was waiting for her in distance.


    "Sister Rou", the silhouette called out after noticing the figure of Shen n female expert in a distance.


    "Zhen Wang, tone down a bit. There are people around us", the Shen n female expert spoke.


    The name of the female expert was Shen Rou and the name of the person waiting for her was Zhen Wang. Both of them were stage four experts and worked as protectors of Shen n.


    "I am sorry. I am feeling excited after seeing you nod your head", Zhen Wang spoke.


    "Why are you aplogizing now? It has been a while and I am not letting you get close to me", Shen Rou spoke as her eyes softened.


    "It is not sister Rou''s fault. Everyone is staying close to eachother and it is just that sister Rou could not find an opportunity to meet me", Zhen Wang spoke.


    "We are in love for so long. Yet you always choose to defend me even after we have gotten old", Shen Rou replied. Intense emotion could be seen in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Wang.


    "Sister Rou, you are getting more beautiful every day. How can you gotten old?", Zhen Wang spoke as he tugged the body of Shen Rou towards him.


    Shen Rou didn''t resist as Zhen Wang pulled her closer towards him. He cupped the beautiful face of Shen Rouand nted his lips on the red lips of Shen Rou.


    "Zhen Wang, we have to finish early. Otherwise, others may doubt us", Shen Rou spoke.


    "Sister Rou, we are already at the peak of Core Condensation realm. When can we meet with eachother openly?", Zhen Wang said in an indignant tone in his voice.


    *Have some patience. We have waited so long and it will not matter even if we wait few more years", Shen Rou spoke while caressing the face of Zhen Wang with her slender hand.


    "Sister Rou, I will wait as much as you want. It does not matter even if I have to wait another ten years", Zhen Wang spoke.


    "Hmm, wait untill we reach Martial ascension realm.. Then no one can protest even if we make our rtionship public", Shen Rou replied.

 Chapter 120 - An Intimate Union

    Zhen Wang and Shen Rou shared another passionate kiss with each other. Shen Rou reached towards the robe of Zhen Wang and took off his pant.


    "You are already so stiff!", Shen Rou blushed slightly as she held the manhood of Zhen Wang with her hand.


    "Sister Rou, it has been many days since west did it. So...", Zhen Wang spoke as an expression of pleasure appeared on his face.


    "No need to exin. Let me take care of it first", Shen Rou spoke as she stroked the little brother of Zhen Wang with her hand.


    "Shhhhh!", Zhen Wang inhaled some air as he felt pleasureing from his manhood.


    "Zhen Wang, we don''t have much time. Watch out for the magical beasts while I am not looking", Shen Rou spoke.


    "Sister Rou, you don''t have to worry. I have searched this ce throughly. This ce is pretty safepared to other locations", Zhen Wang spoke as he enjoyed the care of Shen Rou.


    "Hmm, I have beleif in your scouting ability. Just a little bit more and you will be fully ready", Shen Rou spoke as he increased the pace of her hand.


    "Seems like you are not fully satisfied with my hand. In this case.....", Shen Rou spoke and knelt down infront of Zhen Wang.


    Zhen Wang''s little brother twitched in anticipation as he knew what Shen Rou going to do next. Shen Rou didn''t disappoint her either as he brought her pretty lips close to his little brother and nted a moist kiss on its forehead.


    Zhen Wang''s little brother twitched as it felt the moistness of Shen Rou''s lips. Shen Rou stretched out her hand and wrapped the spear of Zhen Wang with it.


    Then after stroking it for a few times, she took the spear of Zhen Wang inside her mouth.


    "Slurp~ Slurp~ Slurp~", Shen Rou moved her head back and forth as she took the spear of Zhen Wang inside her mouth.


    Zhen Wang was looking at the surrounding but he closed his eyes for a moment as the pleasure overwhelmed his mind.


    Shen Rou was using her mouth and hand simultaneously as she kept stroking and sucking altogether.


    "Sister Rou, I aming", Zhen Wang spoke as he reached the limit of his patience. Shen Rou didn''t reply but she increased the pace of her hand and mouth.


    "Haaaah", with a low roar Zhen Wang pulled Shen Rou by her hair released his manly essence inside the mouth of Shen Rou.


    "Gulp!", Shen Rou''s throat moved as she gulped down the essence of Zhen Wang. She struck out her pink tongue and licked the overflowing essenceing out of her mouth.


    "How is it?", Shen Rou looked towards Zhen Wang who was wearing a satisfied expression on his face.


    "Thank you sister Rou. It felt amazing", Zhen Wang replied.


    "It is my turn to please you. Sister Rou, please stand up", Zhen Wang spoke.


    Shen Rou blushed slightly but she didn''t resist Zhen Wang as he helped her in standing.


    Zhen Wang gave a kiss on Shen Rou''s slender neck and took out her belt. Her dress came off as her mature fair body came to the view of Zhen Wang.


    Zhen Wang took a look at the breathtaking beauty infront of him. Shen Rou''s body was fully matured like a ripened peach. With the addition of huge snowy balls infront of her chest, her beauty was irresistible for Zhen Wang.


    "Sister Rou, you are getting more beautiful", Zhen Wangplimented as he directly reached for the alluring snowy balls of Shen Rou.


    "Mmmm~", Shen Rou moaned as Zhen Wang squeezed one of her snowy hill.


    Zhen Wang nted a quick kiss on Shen Rou''s lips and moved over to taste her snowy hills.


    "Mmmm~", Shen Rou moaned as Zhen Wang sucked the cherry over her hills. Then he squeezed her huge snowy hill and took in as much as he could take inside his mouth.


    A milky taste came from the snowy hills of Shen Rou as Zhen Wang kept sucking her huge snowy hills.


    "Mmmm~Zhen Wang~


    Don''t skip other one~", Shen Rou spoke as her body also became needy with the passionate care of Zhen Wang.


    Zhen Wang let go of the one she was currently sucking and shifted his attention to other huge snowy hill. Shen Rou''s little sister started to drool as Zhen Wang kept ying with her two snowy assets.


    "Sister Rou, I want to see your back", Zhen Wang spoke. Shen Rou blushed and took a sneaky look at Zhen Wang who was looking at her with a heated gaze.


    Shen Rou nodded her head shyly and turned to look at the opposite direction. Her back was equally breathtaking like her front. Infact, her back was more attractive despite the huge snowy balls increasing the appeal of her front.


    The thing that was most eye-catching was her two round half moons which lied below her slender waist.


    Two fair half moons which were full of allure exposed themshelves infront of Zhen Wang. Zhen Wang couldn''t help himself as he gulped down a little.


    He embraced Shen Rou from her back and fondled her snowy balls a little. His straitened spear stabbed against the little sister of Shen Rou.


    Shen Rou''s face became reddened but she didn''t resist the embrace of Zhen Wang. She quietly enjoyed the embrace of Zhen Wang and the warmthing from his manhood.


    Shen Rou wanted to stay like this for a while but how could Zhen Wang stay quite with such an alluring body infront of his eyes. It had been thirteen years since he and Shen Rou started a rtionship but he still had not gotten enough of Shen Rou''s bewitching body.


    Zhen Wang let go of Shen Rou''s snowy balls after fondling them a little. He nted a kiss on Shen Rou''s neck and traced her beautiful curve with his hand. Finally he ced his hand on Shen Rou''sb.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. and squeezed them a little.


    A bouncy yet soft feeling came from the b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. of Shen Rou as she moaned lightly. After some light squeezing, Zhen Wang started to squeeze them as much as he liked as Shen Rou moaned in pleasure.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~", Shen Rou moaned as Zhen Wang yed with her two beautiful half moons to his heart''s content.


    Shen Rou''s cave became moist as her body responded to the passion of Zhen Wang.


    "Pah!


    Aahhhhh~", Shen Rou let out a bewitching moan as Zhen Wang hit her b.u.t.t.o.c.k. lightly.


    Zhen Wang slid one of his palm between the crack of her two half moons and found the sacred cave of Shen Rou.


    "Sister Rou, looks like I don''t have to do much. You are already wet down here", Zhen Wang spoke but he still inserted one of his finger inside the cave of Shen Rou.


    "Aahhh~


    Aahhhh~", Shen Rou moaned as Zhen Wang moved his finger inside her sacred cave. Her sacred cave started to be more moist after Zhen Wang started to please her with his finger.


    "Sister Rou, I am going inside", Zhen Wang spoke near the ears of Shen Rou.


    "Mmmm", Shen Rou gave her consent meekly as she ced both of her handson the nearby tree.


    After Shen Rou leaned on a tree, her two beautiful half moons struck out towards Zhen Wang in an inviting position. Zhen Wang stroked his little brother a little and pointed it towards the cave entrance of Shen Rou.


    Then with a single thrust, he prated the sacred cave of Shen Rou with his spear.


    "Aaaaah~


    Aaahhhh~", Shen Ruo moaned as Zhen Wang started to move his waist.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 121 - A Pair Of Brother And Sister

    Journey continued as it was after the night passed. Zhen Wang looked towards Zhan Chen who was riding his horned lion ahead of him.


    He recalled a single line that Zhan Chen told before disappearing from two of their views. "If you are really grateful than help your young miss as much as you can and don''t be so reckless next time", Zhan Chen spoke before leaving him and Shen Rou alone.


    "To participate in the struggle of n is not easy but looks like we also have to travel in those muddy water. Previously, I was not sure what to do but now I know which side to choose. Young master Chen is not at all simple. It will not be nice if we don''t do anything for his saving grace", Zhen Wang thought to himself.


    Thinking about the previous night, Zhen Wang was still baffled. When both he and Shen Rou was at their most rxing moment, a cloud panther attacked them from behind.


    He and Shen Rou couldn''t even react when the famous magical beast of Cloud forest range reached towards them. Just another moment and one of them would have gravely injured by the magical beast. At the moment when they were at their most desperate moment in life, a figure appeared to stop the cloud panther. Then with a single stab, he took down the Cloud panther.


    Zhen Wang recalled how Zhan Chen appeared silently and after taking down the famous Cloud panther, he shook his head and said, "How reckless!".


    When both he and Shen Rou gave their heartfelt thanks to Zhan Chen, he nonchntly shook his head and said, "There is no need to thank me. If you are really grateful then help your young miss as much as you can".


    Then before he and Shen Rou could reply, his figure again disappeared in the darkness. He and Shen Rou both looked at each other with amazement in their eyes. Zhen Wang knew how unfathomable Zhan Chen was at this moment.


    A resolute look appeared in the eyes Zhen Wang as he observed Zhan Chen who was acting as if nothing had happened between them.


    The rest of their day''s journey was peaceful as the magical beasts ran away after noticing the Martial ascension realm experts of Shen n. As like before they took a rest at night and resumed their journey at early morning.


    At thete afternoon of the third day, they finally approached the end of the Cloud forest range.


    There was a beautiful valley at the end of the Cloud forest range. Everyone stopped for a moment to take a look at the surrounding.


    "Hmm! What is going on?", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after checking the area with his soul consciousness.


    Soon, Shen family experts also noticed something that Zhan Chen was witnessing with his soul consciousness.


    A young looking girl was trying to climb the steep path while attaching a young boy on her back. Her whole body was bruised but she still trying her best to climb the steep slope with the help of a stick.


    "Go, help her out", Shen Ruyan spoke to a nearby Shen n expert. But Zhan Chen was faster to react. No one knew when he left his horned lion but he reached near the girl within few moments.


    A vignt look appeared in the eyes of the girl as she looked at Zhan Chen. "Are you with the bandits?", she asked with a wary tone in her voice.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing the question of the young girl. "Am I looking like a bandit?, Zhan Chen asked the young girl with a smile on his face.


    The young girl took some moments to observe Zhan Chen and shook her head.


    "You seem tired? What happened?", Zhan Chen looked towards the young girl who was wearing a simple looking dress and holding a little boy behind her back.


    "Can you help me take care of my brother? I have to go and look for my parents", the girl asked. There was a begging tone in her voice as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I can help you out but in one condition. You have toe with me and let us treat your wounds", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The young girl didn''t know how to reply after hearing the strange proposition of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t give her time to think as he wrapped a hand around her waist and pulled her body towards him.


    "What are you doing!", the young girl eximed but Zhan Chen didn''t reply as he started to descend towards the valley with a fast pace.


    The young girl got frightened by what Zhan Chen was doing. She wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s back unconsciously. Zhan Chen''s steps were as light as feather as he reached the valley in no time.


    "We should also descend down to valley", Shen Ruyan spoke after seeing Zhan Chen taking the young girl to valley.


    It didn''t take time to apply some basic herbs on the young girls wound. She had an uneasy look in her face as she looked at the gathered Shen n experts worriedly.


    "What is your name?", Shen Ruyan asked the young girl.


    "Greetings miss, my name is Ke Ushi", the young girl replied and cupped her hands towards Shen Ruyan.


    Zhan Chen checked the body of Ke Ushi with his soul consciousness. He couldn''t find any injury except the superficial wounds on her outer body.


    ''Your wounds will heal in no time. Now you should rest and tell me what do you need my help for", Zhan Chen spoke to Ke Ushi.


    "Thank you young master", Ke Ushi replied.


    The eyes of Zhan Chen''s women were on Ke Ushi as they were curious to know what happened to her? What forced an injured young girl like Ke Ushi to carry around a little boy with her?


    Ke Ushi noticed the curious gazes of everyone on her as she felt a little nervous. Despite her uneasiness, she started to describe her ordeal to everyone present.


    The name of the valley where they had descended now was called Clear spring valley. Ke Ushi and her brother Ke An hade from a vige located near Clear spring valley.


    Everything was going normal for their vige as Ke Ushi and his brother were happily living with their parents. There was nothing to worry in the vige except the asional attack from beasts of Cloud forest range.


    Everything was going normal when suddenly catastrophe struck their vige. A group of bandits showed up abruptly in the middle of the night. Male members of Ke Ushi''s vige fought bravely but there were some powerful men among the bandits.


    The vige chief of Ke Ushi''s vige got captured and bandits killed others. They started to imprison the women of the vige as soon as any woman piqued their interest.


    Ke Ushi''s home was at the end of the vige. She was hiding in her house when her father came amidst the fight to send her away.


    A bandit noticed her escaping figure but her father did his best to stop the bandit untill Ke Ushi moved away from his sight.


    "Uuuu!, Uuuuu", Ke Ushi started to sob after exining the matter of his vige to the group of Zhan Chen. She was feeling worried as she didn''t know what happened to her parents after her father sent her away with her brother.


    "Little miss, please don''t cry. I will do my best to help you out. Although I don''t know whether the bandits are still in your vige or not", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, please save my parents and others", Ke Ushi spoke and tried to kneel down Infront of Zhan Chen. Li Shu stopped her from doing so as everyone looked towards Zhan Chen to hear his decision.


    The peak level fifth stage expert of Shen n didn''t say anything but he was watching Zhan Chen along with the other experts of Shen n.


    He was already aware of the presence of an expert of Supreme Zhan n in Zhan Chen''s family. There was spection in Centralnd about theeback of Zhan n from the shadow of past. So, he wanted to see the performance of Zhan Chen and how he manage such matters in hand.


    Zhan Chen didn''t say anything for some moments as he spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding. His soul consciousness could cover a vast area but he barely manage to find a vige even after spreading his soul consciousness to its limit.


    "Little Miss, is your vige located in that direction?", Zhan Chen asked Ke Ushi.


    Ke Ushi was beginning to panick as Zhan Chen was silent for some moments. But after hearing the question of Zhan Chen, her hope reignited again.


    "Yes young master, there are total five viges in this area. My vige is located much closer to the Clear spring valley", Ke Ushi spoke.


    "Ok then, I will back in no time", Zhan Chen spoke as he dashed towards his Horned lion.


    "Young master Chen, let mee with you", Kai Min spoke as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Miss Min, no need to worry. These bandits not worth for you to stain your hand. Please wait a little. I wille back after sometime", Zhan Chen smiled towards Kai Min.


    "Young master, please take care", Ling''er spoke as she felt worried for Zhan Chen. She was not that intelligent like SheRuyan and Su''er who knew with the capability of Zhan Chen, a mere bandit group couldn''t give him trouble.


    Zhan Chen smiled towards Ling''er to pacify her worry. Then he urged his horned lion to move towards the direction where the vige of Ke Ushi was located.


    Another galloping sound came as Zhen Weng joined Zhan Chen in his trip. No one had any objection as Shen n experts had beleif in Zhen Wang''s ability.


    Zhen Wang followed behind Zhan Chen and both of them moved away from the sights of their group.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 122 - Black Wind Gang

    "Taking your own life! Who do you think we are?", Wang Lang smirked. He was the deputy leader of ck wind gang and except the leader whose cultivation reached the fourth stage, every other members of the gang listened to themand of him.


    "You monsters!", a girl shouted out as both of her hands were currently being held by one of the member of the ck wind gang.


    There were other girls and women beside the girl whose hands were tied and all of them were made to kneel on the ground.


    "Don''t try to do anything funny. I am nning to earn some gold coins by selling you in the provincial capital but if you resist, I will let my brothers have a go at you. You will understand then, what happens if you annoy me", Wang Lang spoke as he threw a look at the girl who was trying to resist.


    A helpless look appeared in the eyes of the girl as he saw the captured people of her vige. There were two other horse carts in the distant.


    The girl swpet her eyes on the distant hose carts and a feeling despair rose in her heart. She could see what was inside the horse carts as there was no cover on the horse carts.


    There were girls and women of other viges who were caught by the ck Wind gang. "Is there no way out?", the girl thought to herself.


    She was the grand daughter of the vige leader and a talented young cultivator herself. She reached the Meridian opening realm at the age of thirteen. Now at the age of eighteen, she was already at the peak of Meridian opening realm.


    She used to think that the power of her grand father would be enough to protect them but now she understood, how wrong she was.


    When she waspletely losing hope, a swishing sound of wind came from her side. She turned to look at it but the wind seemed to be very fast as it approached Wang Lang, the deputy leader of ck wind gang.


    Wang Lang felt something was amiss but before he could react, a sword stabbed his chest.


    "Puchi!", a soft sound came as the sword prated the body of Wang Lang and protruded out from his back.


    Wang Lang looked to his front and saw a young man standing close to him wearing a blue robe.


    "Who are you?", he could only ask a line before thest trace of his life absorbed by Zhan Chen''s sword.


    "Who are you?", the leader of the ck wind gang asked as a solemn look appeared on his face. Unlike Wang Lang, he was not a reckless person. So, he decided to inquiry a little before taking any action.


    "There is no need to bother young master Chen. Your opponent is me", Zhen Wang spoke as he walked out from a distance. He threw a look at Zhan Chen who still had a nonchnt expression on his face even after killing a peak level True essence realm expert.


    "Friend, may I inquire where have youe from?", the leader of the ck wind gang asked.


    "I will tell you if you live past our battle", Zhen Wang spoke and took out his weapon. The leader of the ck wind gang didn''t take out any weapons but Zhen Wang could see the pointed weapon he was wearing on his fingers.


    Zhan Chen was standing near the corpse of Wang Lang but no other ck wind gang members dared to attack him.


    "You fools, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for him to rx and kill you one by one?", the leader of the ck wind gang bellowed.


    The hesitant look on the faces of ck wind gang members disappeared after they heard the words of their leader. Leading the life of a bandit was never easy. So, all of them had a ruthless personality within them. Moreover all of them knew, what would happen if anyone didn''t obey themand of their leader. Death would be the easiest punishment at that time.


    Two ck wind gang members attacked simultaneously as they swung their sword towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen easily blocked their swords as he looked towards the other ck wind gang members.


    Another two ck wind members joined the fray and Zhan Chen got surrounded by four enemies.


    He easily fended the attack of four ck wind gang members as he only had to merely lift his sword a little to fend the attacks of the four.


    A arrow whizzed towards Zhan Chen with a breathtaking speed. Zhan Chen shifted his body a little and the sword stabbed into the chest of one of the ck wind group member.


    "Yan Wu! What the hell?", one of the ck wind gang member cursed as they saw one of their own being injured by an arrow.


    Zhan Chen threw a look towards a distant tree and a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes. The arrow was too quick even for him and it was fired at a proper time when he would need to defend himself from the attack of an enemy.


    The battle raged between the leader of the ck Wind gang and Zhen Wang. Zhan Chen knew the cultivation level of Zhen Wang and leader of the ck Wind group. So, he didn''t bother about the condition of Zhen Wang.


    It took another few minutes for the ck wind gang members to gather around him.


    "I am waiting for you all to gather", Zhan Chen spoke inly as his figure disappeared from his ce. The person who was attacking him could only find thin air when he swung his sword towards Zhan Chen.


    "Puchi"


    "Puchi"


    "Puchi", soft sounds came out as Zhan Chen''s figure shuttled between the ck Wind gang members. The ck wind gang members couldn''t even resist as seven of them died within the interval of few moments.


    A horrified look appeared in the eyes of ck wind gang members as they looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had a young and dashing appearance but infront of the surviving ck wind gang members, he appeared like a devil.


    No one knew who took the first step backward but the remaining thirteen members tried to distant themshelves from Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t give them much time as his figure started to flicker again. No one knew whom he would attack as everyone remained alert to face Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen appeared behind a ck wind gang member. The ck wind group member swung his long knife to stop Zhan Chen''s sword but his attempt was futile.


    "Puchi", a soft sound came out as Zhan Chen stabbed the ck wind gang member with his sword. He didn''t stop as his figure appeared behind another surviving ck wind gang member.


    It didn''t take time for Zhan Chen to eliminate the surrounding enemies. He threw a look at the distant tree from where the archer of the ck Wind gang had fired an arrow.


    Yan Wu shivered as he noticed the gaze of Zhan Chen towards him. Zhan Chen''s eyes were clear but an unknown terror covered the soul of Yan Wu when Zhan Chen looked towards him.


    Zhan Chen turned his gaze to look at at Zhen Wang who was still fighting the leader of the ck Wind gang. The leader of the ck Wind gang had a cultivation of fourth stage of Core Condensation realm which was two stages lower than Zhen Wang.


    When Zhan Chen looked towards them, the leader of ck wind gang was fighting desperately to defend himself. His struggle finally ended as an attack of Zhen Wang opened up a deep wound on his chest. Zhen Wang didn''t miss the chance as he followed up and stabbed his sword in the heart of the leader of the ck wind gang.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 123 - Taking A Bath Together

    Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing Zhen Wang finishing up the ck wind gang leader. It was ording to his expectation.


    The feeling of despair gradually lessened and hope started to flicker again in the hearts of women and girls as they saw Zhan Chen and Zhen Wang taking down the powerful ck wind gang.


    Zhan Chen walked towards the group of women and girls who were kneeling on the ground. He picked up the hands of one of the girl and removed the rope that was binding her hands together.


    "You are free now", Zhan Chen said to the young girl with a gently who was even youngerthan his current age. The young girl looked towards Zhan Chen who was looking at her with a clear look in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen pulled her up and looked towards the other girls and women who were stll kneeling on the ground with their hands tied down together.


    "There is no need to kneel down like this. All of you can stand up and help eachother", Zhan Chen spoke to everyone kneeling on the ground.


    "Thank you young mater", the girl whose hands were untied bowed towards Zhan Chen. She was struggling to check her emotion as few teardrops still escaped her eyes.


    Zhan Chen turned to smile at her and moved towards another girl. Zhen Wang also came to help as both of them helped in removing the ropes of all the women and girls present.


    "Thank you warrior"


    "Thank you young master", all the women and girls bowed towards Zhan Chen and Zhen Wang. Their expressions were sincere as they really wanted to express their gratitude for rescuing them.


    "Rx. All of you can help us in taking care of those girls who were still inside the horse carts", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, we know each other due to proximity of our viges. We will surely help them as much as we can", an elderly woman stepped upto reply Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and moved towards the horse carts kept in a certain distance from the center of the vige.


    Zhen Wang also rushed forward to help Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen looked towards the horse carts and a faint trace of anger appeared in his heart.


    The cultivation world was cruel and Zhan Chen was fully aware of it. But he still did not like it, when innocent non cultivators suffered because of greed and ambition of cultivation world.


    There were total four horse carts kept in a distance from the center of the vige. All the horse carts were full of young women and girls of nearby viges.


    Some had wounds on their bodies and some had ripped clothes as the bandits were cruel to them in their behaviour.


    All of them were looking at Zhan Chen and Zhen Wang with hopeful eyes as they witnessed how Zhan Chen freed everyone from the current vige the ck wind gang member had been attacking.


    "Young master Chen, why can''t I see any men from this vige", Zhen Wang asked Zhan Chen as he approached towards Zhan Chen from behind.


    "Almost all of them had died and some were gravely injured. Remaining ones were trying to escape the ck wind gang with young boys and girls", Zhan Chen replied after checking the surrounding area with his soul consciousness.


    Zhen Wang very much wanted to ask Zhan Chen "How do you know?" but he stopped himself after recalling the inconvenience deeds of Zhan Chen in the previous night.


    Zhan Chem broke upon the lock of the horse cart and helped the women and girls to get down one by one. Zhen Wang also did the same as both of them freed the young women and girls of nearby viges.


    "Thank you young master. Thank you for saving us", the girls and women bowed towards Zhan Chen. Zhen Wang also didn''t what to say as many young girls and women bowed towards him.


    "Alright, all of you can take a rest first. This kind of things are mentally challenging. You can return to your viges after taking some rest first", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The vigers took care of eachother and some of them even slept first due to the exhaustion o such an ordeal. The vigers who were freed in the beginning brought out their stored medicine and food to treat the young women and girls of nearby viges.


    "Who of you is Ke Ushi''s Mother?", Zhan Chen asked after all the women and girls settled down a little.


    ---------------------


    It was already evening when everything rted to Ke Ushi and her brother was over. Clear spring valley was an ideal ce to take rest. So, the Shen family experts decided to rest for a night in the Clear spring valley.


    It was women''s nature to stay clean. So, it was not a surprise for Zhan Chen when Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min made a beeline for the small stream flowing in the middle of the ground.


    Zhan Chen decided to cultivate a little. With the absence of Kai Min and Li Shu, he was entirely free to do as he pleased.


    He could feel some sneaky nces towards him. He turned to look at Ling''er, Su''er and Shen Ruyan''s group and smiled towards them. Shen Ruyan was quick to avoid his gaze. Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the dodgy look on Shen Ruyan''s face. Su''er was also same as she avoided Zhan Chen ''s gaze but Ling''er could not avoid Zhan Chen''s eyes as a red blush appeared on her beautiful face.


    Zhan Chen also turned his eyes to not make others suspicious. He moved a little farther from his ce and stopped near a big sized rock. He climbed over it and sat down.


    All the distracting thoughts disappeared from his mind as Zhan Chen operated the Clestial yinyang sutra. Moon had yet to move over the mid sky but Zhan Chen could still absorb the yin energy from the cool raysing from the distant moon.


    He stopped absorbing the moonlight after sometime. The divine yinyang diagram on his dantin lit up as it absorbed the yin energy gathered from the moonlight.


    A pure stream of true essene energy gushed out from the Divine yinyang diagram after it absorbed all the yin energying from the moon.


    Zhan Chen operated the pure stream of true essence energy all over his body. The energy was far from sufficient to increase his cultivation stage but Zhan Chen could feel visible progress in his cultivation stage. The amount of energy he could absorb from the moon had incresed with the increase in his cultivation base.


    Zhan Chen circted the True essence energy all over his body and did not stop untill the true essence energypleted a few cycles inside his body.


    He opened his eyes and turned to look at the source of curious gazes towards him. The Shen family peak level fifth stage expert smiled towards Zhan Chen after Zhan Chen turned to look at him and the other fifth stage expert.


    He stood up and greeted the Shen family fifth stage experts by slightly bowing his head. Then he turned to look at the other people in surrounding.


    Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan had already finished their baths. Both Li Shu and Kai Min were looking more enchanting after finishing their bath.


    Kai Min threw a shy look at Zhan Chen after noticing Zhan Chen looking towards her. Li Shu also blushed as she noticed Zhan Chen''s gaze on her. As for Li Yan, Zhan Chen only gave her a passing nce. Li Yan felt ufortable after noticing Zhan Chen''s indifference towards her.


    Zhan Chen turned to look at other people but couldn''t find Shen Ruyan, Ling''er and Su''er. He spread his soul conciousness and an excited look appear in his eyes after he found out Shen Ruyan, Ling''er and Su''er.


    A beautiful scenery was infrnt of him as Zhan Chen saw Shen Ruyan, Su''er and Ling''er taking a bath together. All of them had taken out theur clothers as they were only d in their undergarments.


    Zhan Chen felt his little brother being excited as he watched the three beauties taking a bath together. The appearance of Shen Ruyan was especially breathtaking as her undergarments were struggling to hide her natural treasures.


    Zhan Chen checked the surrounding and couldn''t find anyone in the vicinity of Shen Ruyan, Ling''er and Su''er. He noticed olddy Liu Nanxi standing in a distance but her eyes were closed as if she were silently cultivating.


    Moreover, she was maintaining a certain distance from the bathing location of Shen Ruyan to not make Shen Ruyan feel ufortable.


    "I don''t care if she is there. If she is sensible, she will make way for me", Zhan Chen thought to himself. His figure shed as he moved towards the opposite direction of the stream.

 Chapter 124 - Moon Light And Water Soaked Beauties

    A confused look appeared in the eyes of peak level fifth stage expert of Shen n as he watched Zhan Chen disappearing in the distance. He didn''t know why Zhan Chen was going towards a faraway location.


    After looking for few minutes, he turned to talk with other fifth stage expert of his n. Theck of attention was the thing Zhan Chen wanted. He stopped going away when everyone moved away their attentions from him. Then he changed his course of direction and moved towards the small stream flowing in the midst of the valley.


    There was no Shen n experts out there as they knew their young miss had gone to bath their with her maids. The area near the stream was empty except a vignt Liu Nanxi who was guarding Shen Ruyan.


    Liu Nanxi turned her head to look when a blurry figure approached towards her direction in a first pace. A caution expression appeared on her face but after seeing the person, her tense nerves rxed.


    Zhan Chen knew he couldn''t do anything without alerting Liu Nanxi. So, he decided to reveal himself Infront of her.


    "What are you doing here?", Liu Nanxi looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen gave her a profound smile in reply and walked past her. Hepletely ignored the look on Liu Nanxi''s face.


    Li Nanxi felt helpless after seeing the back view of Zhan Chen''s figure as he approached the stream ahead. She moved back few more steps and allowed Zhan Chen to do as he pleased.


    "Young miss, young master can not resist you if he sees you like this", Ling''er spoke as she rubbed the beautiful back of Shen Ruyan with her hand.


    Shen Ruyan smiled after listening to the ttering words of Ling''er.


    "Well, you two girls have done enough. Now wash yourselves. We will leave after both of you are done", Shen Ruyan spoke to Ling''er and Su''er.


    "Who said you can leave? You will apany me tonight in this beautiful stream", a voice interrupted Shen Ruyan while she was speaking to Su''er and Ling''er.


    Ling''er, Su''er and Shen Ruyan turned to look and found Zhan Chen smiling towards them. Shen Ruyan blushed and a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on the faces of both Su''er and Ling''er.


    "When did youe?", Shen Ruyan asked as she kept a hand on her bountiful peaks to cover them.


    "I have juste over. Three beauties together bathing in a stream. How can I miss such a beautiful scene?", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er, Ling''er and Shen Ruyan.


    "Glib!", Shen Ruyan muttered as her blush deepened. Su''er also felt shy but a sweet smile appeared on her beautiful face. Ling''er also had a happy expression on her face after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Ok, no need to look at me like this. I aming over to apany you three in the stream", Zhan Chen spoke and took out his robe.


    Shen Ruyan felt shy as her eyes involuntarily fell upon the raised spear of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen ced his clothes on the bank of the stream and entered the stream water.


    "Zhan Chen, what are you doing? Aunt Liu is nearby", Shen Ruyan asked Zhan Chen shyly.


    "Ruyan, there is no need to be ashamed. We are already a couple. So, what if aunt Nanxi nearby?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Mmmm", Shen Ruyan nodded her head but she still looked at the direction where Liu Nanxi was standing.


    "Don''t worry, she has already gone far away after noticing me", Zhan Chen spoke as he looked towards Shen Ruyan with a heated look in his eyes.


    Shen Ruyan also looked towards Zhan Chen shyly. Both of their eyes met and Zhan Chen pulled Shen Ruyan closer.


    Shen Ruyan was looking gorgeous with beads of water all over her body. Zhan Chen cupped her face and bent his head to move his lips towards Shen Ruyan''s.


    Shen Ruyan also cooperated as she moved her lips towards Zhan Chen''s lips. A smooth sensation came to Zhan Chen''s mouth as he ced his lips on Shen Ruyan''s.


    A passionate kiss unfolded between Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan as both wanted to express their desire for eachother through the exchange between their mouths.


    Su''er felt slightly hot in her body as she saw the passionate kiss between Zhan Chen and their young miss. Ling''er was also same as she anticipated such a passionate moment with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan separated their mouths after a long entanglement. A string of saliva joined their mouths despite the separation of their mouths from eachother.


    me of desire burned in the heart of Shen Ruyan after sharing some passionate moments with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled Su''er next and nted a kiss on her beautiful lips. All of the girls were needy as Su''er entangled her tongue with Zhan Chen''s own.


    Thest one was Ling''er who was looking at Zhan Chen with slight anticipation. Zhan Chen understood her feelings. So, he took some time to taste the red lips of Ling''er.


    "Ruyan,e here", Zhan Chen beckoned his hand towards Shen Ruyan. His hand was already at the back of Ling''er when he told Shen Ruyan toe nearby.


    "Ahhhhh~", Ling''er moaned sweetly as Zhan Chen gave her a sharp pinch on her bottom. Zhan Chen released Ling''er and pulled Shen Ruyan close to him after she came slightly closer.


    He made her face her back towards him and grabbed her bountiful hills.


    "Mmmm~", Shen Ruyan moaned lightly as Zhan Chen grabbed her proud peaks. Zhan Chen felt a velvety feeling as he ced his hands on Shen Ruyan''s undergarments.


    Zhan Chen pulled the string of her undergarments after ying a bit over it. The exquisite body of Shen Ruyan appeared in full glory Infront of his eyes.


    The distant moon was sprinkling it''s gentle rays on the water of the clear stream. The surface of the water was glowing in response to it but the most breathtaking one in the surrounding was not the bright moon not even the gleaming water, it was Shen Ruyan who was standing tall while exposing her naked body under the pure moonlight.


    "Ruyan, you are looking very beautiful", Zhan Chen spoke as he couldn''t look away from the stunning picture Infront of him. Shen Ruyan was looking enchanting with her breathtaking beauty and a shy yet eager look on her face.


    Shen Ruyan felt pleased after receiving the genuine praise of Zhan Chen. She turned her head to look at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nted another kiss on her luscious lips and moved his hand towards theher region of Shen Ruyan.


    Ling''er felt incredibly hot all over her body as she watched both Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan''s intimate acts. She couldn''t help but move her hand towards herher region after seeing such things Infront of her eyes.


    "Ahhhhh~", Shen Ruyan faintly moaned as Zhan Chen rubbed the entrance of her sacred cave. Zhan Chen rubbed her entrance and after few moments inserted one of his finger inside her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen yed with her little sister with his finger. Zhan Chen retrieved his finger after he was sure that Shen Ruyan was ready for dual cultivation.


    Zhan Chen pointed his spear towards Shen Ruyan''s cave after retrieving his finger. Shen Ruyan was standing with her back facing towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen grabbed both of her white half moons and inserted his spear in between them. After rubbing her entrance few times with his dragon, he inserted it inside the sacred cave of Shen Ruyan with a single thrust.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 125 - Art Of Dual Cultivation

    "Ahhhhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned sweetly as Zhan Chen inserted his mighty dragon inside her sacred cave.


    She had nothing else to support her body as Zhan Chen prated her from behind


    While holding her slim waist.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen started to increase the intensity of his thrusting.


    It was a cloudless sky. Moon was at its artistic peak when it sprinkled it''s gentle rays across the beautiful Clear spring valley.


    Beautiful hills and the small streaming out of it was meandering through the valley surface. In the gentle moonlight, a man and woman was wildly copting without the fear of someone getting in their way.


    Shen Ruyan tried to control her moans but her attempt was fruitless as Zhan Chen''s thrusts were too much for her. Her mind was already nk as the thrust of Zhan Chen was giving her incredible amount of pleasure.


    Ling''er couldn''t help but lower her undergarment as she ced her fingers on her beautiful cave. The intense act of Zhan Chen and her young miss was overwhelming for her as she saw the tall and lean figure of Zhan Chen and the swaying peaks of Shen Ruyan.


    Su''er also gave in to her impulse as she watched the scene Infront of her eyes. She pressed one of her own peaks with her hand and her other hand went towards her undergarment.


    "Zhan Chen, I aming~", Shen Ruyan spoke as Zhan Chen relentlessly pounded her back with his waist.


    A fragrant stream of yin water came out of Shen Ruyan''s cave and Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled after being drenched by it.


    Zhan Chen hold the tall peaks of Shen Ruyan and gave them some squeezes, then he looked towards Ling''er and Su''er who were busy in pleasuring themselves.


    "Su''er, Ling''er,e here. It is not fun to y by yourselves", Zhan Chen spoke to Su''er and Ling''er with an evil smile on his face.


    Su''er and Ling''er blushed but their desire for pleasure could be seen from their eyes.


    "Plop!", Shen Ruyan took a dip in the water as she decided to watch Su''er, Ling''er and Zhan Chen while submerging her enchanting body in the water. Only her head was out in open as she looked towards Zhan Chen, Ling''er and Su''er.


    Ling''er and Su''er came forward after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen''s spear was throbbing as it was still looking for the divine embrace of the sacred caves nearby.


    "You two girls, why are you ying by your own? I knew that you two werefortable with eachother. So, why are you hesitating to do it Infront of us?", Zhan Chen looked towards both Su''er and Ling''er.


    He could still recall the breathtaking scene of Ling''er and Su''er rubbing their little sisters on eachother. He was not against two women pleasuring eachother. So, he spoke to Su''er and Ling''er to make themselves morefortable around him.


    "Young master, we...", Ling''er blushed after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Both of them loved to please eachother untill Zhan Chen came. It was not that they had stopped making contact with eachother after Zhan Chen came. But the arrival of Zhan Chen made themselves more needy from before.


    They felt the peak pleasure when they dual cultivate with Zhan Chen but both of them were still dependent on eachother for extinguishing the fire inside them when Zhan Chen was not around.


    "Young master, are you angry with us for doing that?", Su''er asked as a look of guilt appeared in her eyes. They were already Zhan Chen''s women and Su''er heard from someone that many men couldn''t tolerate it when they found their women with others. The rtionship between women were a taboo topic in the Northern desert continent. Everyone generally saw them as fallen or heretics who had fallen into a wrong path.


    "Why should I be angry with you two. I personally have no problem with the rtionship between women. What is the problem if they do some little fun with eachother", Zhan Chen replyied with a smile.


    He just asked the question to make Su''er and Ling''er morefortable around him and here was the silly girl who was panicking for nothing.


    "Come here. Today, I will teach you some new techniques. Art of dual cultivation was an wonderful thing. It didn''t only have techniques of men and women but there were also other things which both of you will enjoy", Zhan Chen spoke as he beckoned his hand towards both Ling''er and Su''er.


    Ling''er and Su''er felt confused but their hearts rxed after they heard the words of Zhan Chen. It was fine as long as their young master was not upset with them.


    "What~ what about Ling''er and Su''er doing it with eachother~", Shen Ruyan looked towards Ling''er and Su''er with surprised eyes after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. She also felt a little hot down under as she thought about some absurd scenes.


    Zhan Chen went forward slightly and pulled Su''er and Ling''er closer. Water was only at the level of Zhan Chen''s chest. So, it was not a problem to walk around in the stream.


    Su''er still had her undergarment on. Even Ling''er had pulled over her undergarment after Zhan Chen called over both her and Su''er.


    Zhan Chen unceremoniously undressed both of them. Then he leaned over and brought her mouth close to Su''er''s peaks.


    "Mmmm~", Su''er moaned as Zhan Chen sucked her peaks intently. Zhan Chen made a circle around her red bud and lightly clenched his teeth on her aroused bud.


    "Ahhhhh~", Su''er felt her mind going nk as Zhan Chen tasted her peaks with his mouth. A drop of water trickled out from her sacred cave as Zhan Chen left his saliva all over her peaks.


    It was the same for Ling''er as her body shivered in ecstasy. Zhan Chen sucked on her peaks intently and atst gently bit on the red buds above her peaks.


    Ahhhhh~Ling''er cried out as Zhan Chen left a shallow teeth mark on one of her peaks. Shen Ruyan unconsciously put a hand around her gigantic peaks as she imagined the scene before her happening to her peaks. She felt hot all over her body as she lightly caressed her own peaks.


    "Come with me to the bank. I have promised you two to let you experience something amazing", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t wait for them to response as he took both Su''er and Ling''er towards the bank of the small stream.


    "What is he nning to do?", Shen Ruyan thought to herself as she followed after Ling''er, Su''er and Zhan Chen towards the bank of the small stream.


    Zhan Chen brought Su''er and Ling''er to the bank of the stream where a gigantic stone was waiting for them.


    "Ling''er, you should sleep first. Lie on your back on the stone", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er.


    Ling''er nodded her head and did as Zhan Chen instructed. She was already naked by the time she lied on the gigantic stone. So, her beautiful body became bare Infront of Su''er, Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and drew a line on the body of Ling''er. His finger passed through the crack between her peaks, passed through her slim waist and moved towards herher region.


    Zhan Chen gently rubbed the cave entrance of Ling''er.


    "Nnnnnnn~", Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen teased her little sister with his fingers.


    Zhan Chen stopped teasing Ling''er after few moments. Ling''er''s body was already hot when Zhan Chen pulled out his fingers from her sacred cave.


    "Now raise your legs and bend them", Zham Chen looked towards Ling''er.


    Ling"er did as Zhan Chen said and raised her legs. Her sacred cave looked more essible now as it became fully exposed Infront of everyone present.


    Shen Ruyan gulped her saliva as she saw the scene Infront of her. She changed her line of gaze and looked towards Su''er. She wanted to know what was the interesting thing that Zhan Chen was going to Show to Su''er and Ling''er.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 126 - Shredded Mountain Province

    "Su''er,e over", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er who was standing nearby. Su''er walked to the stone while disying her alluring curves to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nted a kiss on Su''er''s lips. Then told her to crouch down on her four above the lying Ling''er.


    Su''er''s face became reddened after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. She still went over and crouched over Ling''er. Her shapely b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s faced towards Zhan Chen while her face was just above the face of Ling''er.


    Zhan Chen didn''t keep Su''er waiting as he ced one hand on Su''er''s thighs and his other hand reached towards theher region of Ling''er.


    "Ahhhhhh~


    Mmmmm~", both the girls moaned sweetly as Zhan Chen gave an massage to their little sisters with his fingers.


    Zhan Chen withdrew his fingers after few moments. Ling''er and Su''er''s body was convulsing as Zhan Chen was just ying with their little sisters. Shen Ruyan was also watching with wide eyes as her pretty cheeks were already reddened by the activities of Zhan Chen, Su''er and Ling''er.


    "Su''er, rx your body", Zhan Chen spoke with a light tone in his voice. Su''er obeyed the instruction of Zhan Chen involuntarily as Chen gently pushed her body on Ling''er.


    Su''er''s hands gave in by the slight force Zhan Chen applied and her bodynded on top of Ling''er''s body.


    Ling''er shivered as she was too familiar with the touch of Su''er''s body. Both of their peaks were touching eachother and both of their lips were just an inch apart from eachother.


    Zhan Chen held the waist of Su''er and adjusted her posture slightly. Just like that, both Su''er and Ling''er''s little sisters touched eachother.


    "You know what to do next right?", Zhan Chen leaned slightly and whispered near the ears of Su''er.


    Su''er didn''t need Zhan Chen to say anything as both she and Ling''er were already feeling incredibly hot all over their bodies. Their little caves were already wet.


    Su''er instinctively started to move her body as her little sister rubbed against the little sister of Ling''er.


    "Don''t feel shy. Just enjoy the moment. I will apany you in few moments", Zhan Chen spoke lightly. Su''er didn''t hesitate anymore as she moved her body forward and backward.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Mmmmm~", both Su''er and Ling''er moaned as they didn''t even understand when they threw away all of their reservation. Su''er kissed Ling''er''s neck as she increased the movement of her waist.


    Shen Ruyan could not help herself as she brought one of her slender hand towards her gigantic peaks.


    "It is time", Zhan Chen murmured as he moved forward and pointed his spear towards the sacred caves of Su''er and Ling''er. He crouched down slightly and urately prated the ce between the little sisters of Su''er and Ling''er.


    "Ahhhhh~", both Su''er and Ling''er moaned simultaneously as as a hot object ced in between their sacred caves. Zhan Chen moved his waist and rubbed his dragon on the cave entrance of Su''er and Ling''er.


    After moving his waist for some moments, he pointed his spear upward and prated sacred cave of Su''er with his dragon.


    "Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhh~


    Ahhhhhhh~", Su''er continued to moan as Zhan Chen pierced her sacred cave from her behind. But when Su''er was at the peak of her bliss, Zhan Chen took out his dragon from her cave.


    After it, he pointed his spear downward and pierced the sacred cave of Ling''er with a single thrust.


    Ling''er responded with a sweet moan as her cave was invaded by the nmighty dragon of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen altered between prating Su''er and Ling''er and both of the girls reached their peak after few moments.


    "Young master, it ising out~


    Young master, I can''t hold on anymore~",


    both Su''er and Ling''er spoke as a familiar feeling built up in their lower belly region.


    Zhan Chen was relentless in his attack as both of the girls released their yin water within few moments.


    "Ruyan, it is your turn", Zhan Chen smiled towards Shen Ruyan who was looking at Su''er, Ling''er and Zhan Chen with desire in her eyes.


    The next few hours were blissful for three of the girls as Zhan Chen kept all of them busy. When the Shen family experts started to raise their eyebrows, Ling''er, Su''er and Shen Ruyan came back from the stream. Shen Ruyan had it easy as she always covered her face with a veil but Su''er and Ling''er were caught red-handed. Both of their faces were visibly red.


    Su''er and Ling''er did their best to appear normal but the aftertaste of Zhan Chen''s assault was difficult to hide. Fortunately, Zhan Chen spoke them to rest for half an hour before leaving. Otherwise, the Shen family experts would have be more suspicious.


    The night passed and the gden rays of sun cascaded on the Clear spring valley. Zhan Chen had not returned to his tent since he had left after that cultivation session.


    When everyone was thinking where did he go, he walked out from the nearby forest unhurried. Few Shen family experts threw some annoying nces towards Zhan Chen but didn''t say anything. Zhan Chen didn''t make them wait longer. So, they let the matter rest as it was.


    "Young master Chen, where did you go in thest night?", Li Shu asked to Zhan Chen.


    "I am busy in taking care of some matters", Zhan Chen replied in a nonchnt expression.


    "Why, miss Shu, have you missed me in the night?", Zhan Chen teased Li Shu. Li Shu''s face reddened immediately as Zhan Chen smiled towards her.


    "Ok, everyone prepare yourselves. There is a long day ahead. We will only take rest after the night falls", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    The Shen family experts nodded their heads in affirmation and hurried forward to settle things. Every expert picked up their own magical beasts and followed after one of the fifth stage experts of Shen n to leave the valley.


    After Clear spring valley, it was the Shredded mountain province. In fact the moment they had walked out of Cloud forest range, they were already in the territory of the Shredded mountain province.


    Among the four provinces of northern region, the Shredded mountain province was the most famous. Compared to other provinces, the Shredded mountain province had the most experts.


    It was only natural for Shredded mountain province to have more powerful experts than other provinces because it was the gateway to the centralnd. And what was Centralnd meant for the cultivators of the Northern desert continent?


    It was the dreamnd for every cultivator who decided to pursue the peak in cultivation. Every powerful sects and ns of Northern desert continent gathered in the Centralnd. It was said that,pared to centralnd, other four regions of the continent could only be considered as barrennds. So, every day, countless cultivator would enter the Shredded mountain province to test their luck. Many perished in the process but what did it matter? The life of a cultivation was always full of danger. So, the deaths of some wouldn''t down the spirit of cultivators who were embarking on a journey to centralnd.


    As the hub of cultivators, the Shredded mountain province was always chaotic. The group of Shen Ruyan was aware of it. So, they did their best to keep a low profile as they traveled in the Shredded mountain province.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 127 - An Opportunity

    "Move away from the path. Zheng family experts are here", a person shouted as a group of warriors riding magical beasts approached them from a distance.


    "What? Zheng family experts!", some eximations came from the crowd as they hurriedly opened up a path for the approproaching experts.


    "Clip clup, clip clup", the sound of horse hooves drew closer. A group of warriors approach the crowd while riding on magical beasts. All of the magical beasts were metailed horses who were rather rare in the western region.


    Zhan Chen was observing the approaching cultivators along with other experts of Shen n. The metailed horses were nothing special Infront of the eyes of the Shen n experts but their eyes involuntarily moved towards a youngdy who was traveling with the Zheng family experts in the middle.


    The youngdy was wearing a purple coloured dress and she had a noble demeanor which involuntarily drew the attention of people towards her.


    The beautiful lookingdy turned to look at the group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan. A surprised look appeared in her eyes as she observed Zhan Chen, Shen Ruyan and other Shen n experts. But she didn''t stop at her path. The metailed horse, she was riding took her to the distance along with other experts of the Zheng family.


    "Wow, what a beautifuldy", some people eximed in the crowd.


    "I wonder if I can ever get such ady for myself", a young man thought to himself as he looked towards the distance silhouettes of Zheng family experts.


    But his thinking was loud and people near him heard him bbing th words.


    "Brat, dream on. How can a nobody like you hope to get the eldest miss of Zheng n", people in the crowd started to reprimand the young man. Zheng family was a lofty existence to the people present in the crowd. They could only watch them form far but can''t hope to get close to them. So, all of them sneeered and reprimanded the foolish looking young man.


    "What is going on? Why there are suddenly so many people?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Liu Nanxi.


    "Moreover all of them are going towards same direction", Shen Ruyan added further as she curiously observed the crowd gathered Infront of her eyes.


    "Miss, there is no point in guessing. We should wait for our men to gather information", Liu Nanxi replied. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and resumed to observe the crowd gathered.


    After leaving the Clear spring valley, Shen Ruyan''s group entered deep into the territory of the Shredded mountain province. They were aware about the difficulties of Shen Ruyan. So, the Shen n group tried to stay as much low profile they could.


    But despite their attempts, they still had to enter some cities which were in their way to Centralnd. The city that was Infront of Shen Ruyan and Zhan Chen''s group was Scarlet moon city. It was one of the big cities of Shredded mountain province.


    The crowd they were watching was gathered Infront of the gate of the Scarlet moon city. Since they hade, there was a lot of activities going on near the city gate of Scarlet moon city. Beside a group of gossiping crowds, there was also magical beast riding warriors who were hurrying towards a certain direction.


    It didn''t take time for the Shen n experts to find out what was happening. Two of their warriors who were sent to inquiry about the situation, returned after half an hour of time.


    "Young miss, it is a great opportunity for all of us", the two Shen n experts bowed and spoke to Shen Ruyan.


    "Speak. What do you find out?", Shen Ruyan looked towards the warriors of his n.


    "Young miss, there is an ancient remnant in the nearby forest. Generally, no one could enter it''s perimeter due to the formations around it. But for some reason, the power of formations seemed to be rapidly decreasing. That''s why every cultivator who think themselves as capable, hurrying towards the ancient remnant", the two warriors replied to Shen Ruyan. They looked towards Shen Ruyan with an eager look in the faces.


    Look of interest appeared in some other Shen an experts also. Ancient remnants and ancient relics were of matters of interests to every cultivators in the word. That included them who came from the centralnd.


    Every ancient remnant had its own speciality as it hid treasure and techniques of ancient experts. So, when they heard there was an unexplored ancient remnant nearby, they felt interested. After all who would want to miss such an opportunity which was hard toe by.


    But of course, they had to seek the opinion of their young miss first. So, the experts of Shen n turned there eyes towards Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan knew what was their gazes meant. But she did not any reply immediately. Instead, she turned to look towards Liu Nanxi.


    Exploring an ancient remnant had certain risks as there could be traps or guardian magical beasts.Moreover there were also cultivators who possessed the biggest threat among others. Human heart was unfathomable. So, one should proceed with utmost caution when exploring an unknown ce with other cultivators.


    "Brother Han, what do you think?", Liu Nanxi turned to look towards the peak level fifth stage expert of Shen n.


    Li Han was the most powerful cultivator among them. So, Liu Nanxi felt it was necessary to listen to his opinion.


    "There is no problem in taking a look. But let me warn everyone. No one will act on their own once we get to the location", Li Han spoke sternly.


    "Elder Han, please stay assured. None of us will act irresponsibly", the cultivators of Shen n spoke to their peak level fifth stage expert.


    Zhan Chen also felt curious. Since his time in the Northern desert continent, it was the first time he wasing across an ancient remnant. "I wonder if I can get something useful", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan also felt interested after hearing the news about an unexplored ancient remnant. After gathering some more details about the ce, Shen n group went towards the location of the ancient remnant.


    It was already crowdy when Shen n group reached the location of ancient remnant. There were numerous cultivators who were waiting patiently for the barrier around the ancient remnant to fed up.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and tried to gather as much information as he could. Most of the cultivators were clueless about the ancient remnant. But Zhan Chen knew that it was only the case for those who had note from ancient and prestigious powers.


    His attention finallynded on the beautiful girl whom he had met Infront of the city gate. The eldest young miss of Zheng family was standing amidst her family experts. She was currently listening to the word of an old man who hade along with her family experts.


    "It has been six hundred years since the Cleansing Insense ancient sect to be fallen. But who would have thought that it''s barrier could stillst even after so many years head passed", the old man sighed in a soft tone.


    "Cleaning Incense ancient sect?", Zheng Hui Zi felt confused as she blinked her beautiful eyes.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 128 - Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect

    "Look, Qian family is also here", a Zheng family expert pointed towards a certain direction. Zheng Hui Zi turned her head and saw a group of people who were standing at a distant corner. No one knew when they had arrived as their arrival did not cause any ripple in the noisy crowd.


    "They always act low key but for this remnant, they have surely invested a lot", Zheng Hui Zi spoke as she observed the experts of Qian family.


    "Young miss, we must be careful. It is not only our Zheng family or Qian family. Other families would also not like to miss their chances. Moreover, there is also the group riding the horned lions", the old man next to Zheng Hui Zi spoke.


    "Grandpa Hu, please don''t worry about it. I know what to do in such situations", Zheng Hui Zi replied. The old man nodded his head and the group of Zheng n warriors became silent once again.


    Unlike Zheng family and Qian family who were the renowned powers of Shredded mountain province, the other warriors were like some excited mob. They continued to bicker among themselves and some arrogant ones even started to fight in such a situation.


    Time started to fly and two hours went by while Shen n experts were waiting. The thickess of the barrier was visibly reducing and the inside of the barrier gradually appeared Infront the eyes of everyone present.


    In the few hours while the Shen n experts were waiting patiently many prominent powers of Shredded mountain province arrived at the ce but unlike the crowd, they didn''t receive any attention from the Shen n experts.


    The barrier finally became transparentpletely as the inside of the remnant clearly appeared Infront of everyone''s eyes. Some experts couldn''t contain their curiousity anymore as theyunched their attack towards the transparent looking barrier.


    "Boom!", finally the barrier could not take the attacks of gathered experts as it dissolved into some flickering strands of light.


    "Hahaha! It is open finally", experts who wereunching attacks proimed loudly.


    "Thanks for your good work. We Shadow brothers will be the first to enter the remnant", a group of three brothers who were standing next to the attacking experts spoke and before anyone could react they were already at the entrance of the ancient remnant.


    "Hahaha! Brothers our nning has seeded. We have beat every prominent families in entering this remnant", the youngest looking among them spoke. The two other Shadow brothers also smiled as they looked triumphantly towards the other experts.


    "Let''s enter first. We shouldn''t give them any opportunity to catch upto us", the eldest among them spoke. Other two nodded and their figures zoomed towards the entrance.


    "Shua!"


    Shua!", the sound of wind whistling came and before one could know what was happening, two arrows approached the Shadow brothers from their back.


    The Shadow brothers could not react immediately as two of their necks were pierced by the arrows. The youngest among them hurriedly moved to the side as a sense of danger gripped his mind.


    Just after a second another arrow passed by and if he was one momentte, then his neck would also have been pierced by the dreadly looking arrows.


    The youngest of Shadow brothers didn''t even turn to look at his brothers. He summoned up courage and dashed towardshis left at the best speed he was capable of.


    No arrow chased after him after he made a run for his life. After running for ten minutes, he finally halted and took long breathes to calm his chest. Cold sweat was pouring out of his head.


    There was a pindrop silence in the crowd as they witnessed the events being unfold Infront of their eyes. After such an example, noone dared to act reckless in the ce.


    "It most be Ningshuang family. Otherwise who could kill two grade four experts without batting an eyelid", people started to discuss among themselves. They turned to look towards a certain group who were standing in an inconspicuous corner.


    The expression of the group was nonchnt as they looked towards surprised crowd. All of them were wearing ck clothes and the symbol of an red bow was present on everyone''s chest region.


    "This is definitely them. Zheng family, Quan family, Lu family, Orchid valley, ck rock castle and now even Ningshuang family has joined the Frey. Oh my god! Can usmoners still stay in thepetition", the ordinary warriorsmented to themselves. But no matter how theyined, this was the unchangingw of cultivation world. Strong ruled the world. Whoever had the biggest fist would get to say first.


    Finally, the first group started to move towards the entrance. It was the the Lu family who were also famous as the lions of Shredded mountain province.


    This time, there was no obstruction in their way. The imposing looking warriors of Lu family entered the entrance of the ancient remnant without any hinderance in their way.


    Other major families followed suit and entered after the Lu family.


    "Move in a group. Don''t act recklessly", Li Han cautioned the group of Shen Ruyan and Zhan Chen before moving towards the entrance of the ancient remnant.


    Zhan Chen didn''t say anything as he followed after his group. But his brows were furrowed as he checked the ancient remnant with his soul consciousness.


    "This Cleansing Insense ancient sect is not that simple. It most be a mighty sect back then", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The gate of the Cleaning Incense ancient sect was broke in some areas but one could still imagine the sect''s grandness by seeing the massive gate at the entrance of it.


    There was a wide pathway after the gate. Shen ns experts became cautious as the pathway looked strangely empty. There was only peopleing from their back but the warriors who went ahead of them seemed to be vanish into thin air.


    After walking some distance in the wide pathway, an one storied building appeared Infront of the eyes of Shen n experts.


    "Everyone, please tread with cautious. The building ahead might not be that simple. There most be some kind of formations inside the building", Zhan Chen chose to warn his group before entering the building. As for whether they would ept his advice or not it was not his problem.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop Li Hua from entering the one storied building. As a peak level fifth stage expert, noone in this ce would be a match for him. Even the experts of great powers of Shredded mountain province would feel helpless if they found out about the strength of Li Han.


    Some other experts of Shen n who were walking ahead of Shen Ruyan followed after Li Han. There was a transparent barrier at the entrance of the one storied building. It would only flicker slightly when a person''s body pass through it.


    "Young master Chen, would there be danger after we enter this barrier?", Li Shu asked.


    "I think there would be no immediate danger but there is probably a formation at the other end of this istion barrier. It would be better if all of you hold the hands of your closest person and move in pairs", Zhan Chen spoke.


    His voice was not loud as his words were clearly heard by the entire group. Some Shen family experts felt confused as Zhan Chen''s words werepletely spection but Shen Ruyan knew Zhan Chen clearly. Even Liu Nanxi had a strange kind of belief towards Zhan Chen despite his lower cultivation level. She stretched her hand and held the hand of Shen Ruyan before walking into the transparent barrier.


    The barrier flickered lightly as both Liu Nanxi and Shen Ruyan''s figures passed through the transparent barrier. The girls were quick to act as Li Shu and Li Yan quickly formed a pair. Ling''er and Su''er both were paired with one of the fourth stage female cultivators of Shen n.


    Zhan Chen didn''t expect that all Shen n experts would heed to his advice. But contrary to his expectation, everyone formed a pair before moving towards the transparent barrier ahead.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and wrapped his hand around Kai Min''s wrist. Other girls were already gone. Zhan Chen moved after them and entered the barrier with Kai Min.

 Chapter 129 - Purple Crown Lion

    Kai Min blinked her eyes as a brightly glowing circle appeared below her legs. Before she could analyze what was going on, a different sensation assailed her mind. The sensation was as if someone was shaking her body and mind.


    Kai Min involuntarily closed her eyes and held Zhan Chen for support. The strange sensation disappeared after few moments.


    Kai Min opened her eyes and let go of Zhan Chen. She turned her head to take a look at the surrounding.


    "Wow! What a beautiful ce!", Kai Min eximed as her mouth opened up slightly. The scenery Infront of her was straight out of dream.


    There was a beautiful waterfall at a corner. It made a meandering stream as it ran across the valley. Beautiful looking flowers and herbs were all the ce. There were even small colourful birds who were chirping happily from time to time.


    "Young master Chen, where are we?", Kai Min asked without even looking at Zhan Chen. Her eyes were still glued to the beauty of surrounding ce.


    "Have you never gone to any sect before?", Zhan Chen asked Kai Min. Kai Min shook her head in reply.


    "Every major power has special ces of their own. The natural beauty that you are seeing now is verymon in powerful sects. Such ces were made so that anyone can cultivate peacefully without bothering about the worldly affairs", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Kai Min nodded her head as a look of longing appeared in her beautiful eyes.


    ''Heavenly sword sect, Xiantian sect, Frozen cloud sect'' Kai Min thought about the three supreme sects of the continent. Moreover there was also ns and royal family. Kai Min''s longing for centralnd increased as he observed the beautiful ce Infront of her eyes.


    "Who would have thought that there would be teleportation arrays in such a sect", Zhan Chen muttered. Teleportation arrays were not a strange thing to Zhan Chen. In his previous life, he had seen teleportation arrays in his continent. But there were very few teleportation arrays in the entire continent. So, he felt surprised when he saw teleportation arrays in the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    "What should we do now?", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Give me a minute first. Let me observe the ce throughly", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min. Kai Min nodded her head and waited for the response of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had the experience of a life. He could see that the fading of barriers were not as simple as everyone think. Cleansing Incense ancient sect was a sect which could build teleportation arrays at its front gate? So, how could such a sect didn''t have arrangements for any unforeseen circumstances.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness as far as he could. "Hmm, what is going on there?", Zhan Chen murmured to himself as he noticed a crowd of cultivators in a distance.


    He focused his soul consciousness at the surrounding of the crowd and understood what was going on. The valley they were currently standing on was adjacent to the herb mountain of the Cleaning Incense ancient sect. The people who were teleported here had already gathered at the entrance of herb gate. But they were being obstructed by the magical beast who was protecting the herb garden.


    The beast was looking incredibly majestic. With it''s length that reached almost five meter and height which reached over two meter, it could easily induce fear in almost every cultivator''s heart.


    Zhan Chen immediately identified the name of the magical beast. It was an incredible beast which could grow upto rank seven. Rank seven pointed towards the epitome of the cultivation of the world which was simr to human cultivators attaining seventh stage in cultivation. The seventh stage cultivators had another name. They were called as heavenly emperors. When such an expert was angered, heaven trembled beneath their rage.


    "Kai Min, let''s go there. There is an interesting thing happening nearby", Zhan Chen spoke and ced his around Kai Min''s waist.


    Her waist was slender and incredibly smooth. Zhan Chen enjoyed the feeling of her skin as he stepped towards the herb mountain of the Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    "Brother Luo, what should we do? Even with my truth seeking eyes, I couldn''t gauze the strength of this beast", a middle aged man spoke to an imposing looking man who was standing opposite to him.


    "Brother Zichuan, no need to worry. I have already sent signals to the other parties. We just need to wait for the arrival of the others. I can''t believe that this beast could handle the assault of multiple warriors like us", the imposing looking man replied as he observed the magical beast who was looking at the warriors present with it''s amber coloured eyes.


    "Wow, what is this beast?", Kai Min let out out an astonished cry as she saw the majestic looking magical beast guarding the entrance of the herb mountain.


    "It is a Purple crown lion. It is an overlord like entity among magical beasts", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Purple crown lion!", Kai Min tried hard to recall the name from her memory but she couldn''t recall anything even after thinking for a while.


    "Friend, you seem to know about this beast", the imposing looking man looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "You are?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked towards the imposing looking man.


    "I am Luo Zheng, may I know from which family this friend is from?", Luo Zheng asked.


    Zhan Chen generally did not bother to deal with so called powerhouses of the Shredded mountain province. But he couldn''t just ignore if someone behaving politely with him.


    "My family name is Zhan. It is just a small family. No one should have ever heard about it", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    "Friend, can you tell us about this magical beast?", Luo Zheng looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is a Purple crown lion. It can generally found in ces where thunderstorms regrly ur. With it''s thunder affinity, it can easily survive in such locations", Zhan Chen gave a in exnation to everyone present.


    Luo Zheng asked some more questions but seeing Zhan Chen''s reply was too vague about it, he didn''t chat any further.


    "Young master Chen, what are you nning? If you are thinking aboutpeting for the herbs, then we should wait for the Shen n experts", Kai Min advised Zhan Chen with concern in her tone.


    "No need to think much. It is fine even if they do note", Zhan Chen spoke nonchntly. He once again wrapped his hand around the slender waist of Kai Min and looked towards the direction of the Purple crown lion.


    Kai Min blushed heavily. There were so many cultivators here. Yet, Zhan Chen was so brazen with her. She struggled weakly. But Zhan Chen''s grip was too strong for her. She couldn''t pull away Zhan Chen''s hand no matter how much she tried to push his hands away.


    As expected, many jealous gazes came towards their direction. Zhan Chen was nonchnt as he pulled Kai Min close to his body. Kai Min''s skin was not thick like Zhan Chen. She felt extremely shy with all the gazesing towards her. She lowered her head to avoid the embarrassing situation.


    It didn''t take time for other cultivators to gather. Zhan Chen didn''t know what trick Luo Zheng yed but he could see some powerful cultivators hurrying towards their direction.


    He wanted to see if any of his womening but he felt disappointed. None among Shen Ruyan, Su''er, Ling''er, Li Shu came to this location. Forget about his women, he couldn''t even see other Shen n experts.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 130 - One End Is Death, Other End Is Opportunity

    It took only an hour for a sizable amount of crowd to gather Infront of the herb mountain. The Purple crown lion was still standing in the middle of the gate as it''s amber coloured eyes were scanning every warrior present.


    "Roar!", seeing the increasing number of people, it let out a roar to warn everyone. The message was clear. If anyone dare toe near the gate, he or she would face it''s wrath.


    "The show is going to begin", Zhan Chen murmured lightly. A newly arrived level five expert went ahead to test the water first. He took out his sword andunched an attack towards the Purple crown lion.


    A yellow coloured light shed from the sword and zoomed towards the head of the Purple crown lion. The Purple crown lion looked towards the level five expert with disdain in its eyes. It moved it''s body slightly as the attack flew past it''s head.


    "This beast looks shrewd. Everyone, let''s work together and take down it", Qian Zichuan, the leader of Qian family spoke. Other powerful cultivators nodded their heads and started their assault on the Purple crown lion.


    A glint appeared in the eyes of Purple crown lion as the experts started to attack it together. It moved to its side to avoid the attack of an expert and opened its mouth.


    A purple coloured energy st came out from its mouth and moved towards the experts of the Shredded mountain province. A sudden sense of danger alerted the minds of level five experts. They hurriedly shifted their bodies to dodge the energy attack of the Purple crown lion.


    The energy attack of the Purple crown lion covered a wide area. The experts who were standing at the side managed to dodge it''s attack but the expert in the middle was not so lucky. The attacknded squarely on his body.


    He fell to the ground by the force of the thunder attack as his body twitched in pain. It didn''t take time for his consciousness to fade away.


    "A level five expert was taken down like this!", Kai Min looked towards the Purple crown lion with horror in her eyes. Seeing the response of Kai Min who was watching the battle from a distance, one could imagine what was the reaction of other onlookers were. It was worst for the level five experts who were standing close to the Purple crown lion.


    "Looks like these guys have neverever battled with a high level thunder beast", Zhan Chen spoke in a light voice. Using elemental power was not umon for human cultivators but cultivators with thunder affinity were rare even when one looked towards an entire continent.


    Thunder element was most violent one among other five elements. So, it was not strange that a group of level five experts couldn''t fight with a tire five magical beast of same rank.


    "Can we really enter the herb mountain?", Kai Min became skeptical after seeing the power of the Purple crown lion.


    "Looks like I have to think of a way. There are really a good collection in the herb mountain. Even I am feeling tempted. For our current power level, these herbs are really beneficial", Zhan Chen muttered. Kai Min felt worried after seeing the thoughtful look on Zhan Chen''s face. She held Zhan Chen''s hand tightly as she felt that Zhan Chen was thinking about taking a risk to enter the herb mountain.


    She knew Zhan Chen was mysterious and he had way to fight those of above ranks but no matter how capable he was, all hope was lost after seeing such a mighty tire five beast.


    Zhan Chen smiled towards Kai Min after seeing the worried look on Kai Min''s face. Kai Min generally had a shy and reserved personality but she still was clutching his tightly to express her worry for his safety. Zhan Chen felt touched.


    "No need to worry about me. I am not going to fight the Purple crown lion now. Our priority is entering the herb mountain at this moment", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He took Kai Min away from the crowd and turned towards a different side of the herb mountain. Seeing the teleportation arrays of Cleansing Insense ancient sect, he had understood one thing. Cleansing Incense ancient sect was not that as it seemed on the surface.


    The overall prowess of the Northern desert continent had decreased but Zhan Chen knew that it once had mighty experts in its peak. Even the first ancestor of the Zhan dynasty had came from the Northen desert continent. But Zhan Chen had yet to confirm if his previous life ancestor had any link to the Zhan n of Northern desert continent.


    The past might of Northern desert continent could be imagined by observing the Cleaning Incense ancient sect Infront of him. There was no experts of Cleansing Incense ancient sect around but they somehow managed to preserve the structure of the sect intact.


    "No matter howplex the traps around, it can not stop me from entering the herb mountain", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    One of the side of the herb mountain was protected by the Purple crown lion. There were three other sides remained. Zhan Chen chose to climb from the west side of the herb mountain.


    "Miss Min, please follow close to me. There are some annoying traps are here. So, it will be safe as long as you stay close to me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ah! There are people", Kai Min cried out as soon as they started to climb the mountain. There are close to fifteen people who are lying on the path. Each of their faces had be greenish ck as froth wasing from each of their mouths.


    "Are they poisoned?", Kai Min asked in a trembling tone. No matter how courageous she was, she was still a sheltered child from a noble family. asionally she would go to forest to train but that was with the supervision of her elders. It was her first time to see so much people dying in such a gruesome death.


    "Don''t mind them. If you want to be powerful then prepare yourself. The one end of the risk is death but the other end leads to opportunity", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Kai Min nodded her head. She looked towards the dead and them looked towards the calm face of Zhan Chen. Her warrior spirit ignited by the words of Zhan Chen.


    She didn''t speak anything but looked towards Zhan Chen with determination in her eyes. A smile crept to Zhan Chen''s lips as he understood the meaning behind Kai Min''s gaze.


    It was as if she was saying, No matter how dangerous I will follow you. If you can do it, then I can also do it.


    Kai Min took out her sword and followed behind Zhan Chen. A shadow like thing jumped towards him, when he got past the poisoned warriors.


    Same was for Kai Min. A shadow jumped towards her when she was distracted by the Shadow that jumped towards Zhan Chen.


    "Be careful. These are Flower striped sand boas", Zhan Chen warned as he waved his hand tounch an attack towards the leaping shadow.


    Kai Min didn''t have time to listen the words of Zhan Chen. He waved her sword and hurriedly meet the attacking Flower striped sand boa with her sword tip.


    Zhan Chen''s gaze became cold as another four Flower striped sand boas leaped towards them. Kai Min hurriedly deflected one of them and Zhan Chenunched three essence energy attacks to kill the other three Flower striped sand boas.


    Kai Min''s heart was beating loudly as all of her nerves were tense. Even if a valiant general was at her ce, then he would be at simr state to her. Flower striped sand boas were no jock!


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 131 - Ancient Paintings

    Kai Min could finally understand why the other warriors had not attempted to climb the herb mountain from different sides. Because the other sides were impossible to climb through. With the scary magical beasts like flower striped sand boas, it was difficult to proceed further in this path.


    Kai Min didn''t get anytime to worry about other things as another two flower striped sand boas lunged towards her from a nearby tree. Zhan Chen''s gaze became cold instantly. A suffocating aura started to spread around with his body as it''s centre.


    It was first time for Zhan Chen to release his soul aura in this life. The sand boas who were already in the air froze for a moment. The scene was like a pebble crashing on the stone floor, their little bodies crashed on the hard ground.


    Sweat drops started to appear on Kai Min''s head as she felt a suffocating pressureing from Zhan Chen.


    She was not the target of Zhan Chen''s soul aura but the aura of Zhan Chen''s soul was so overwhelming that it could affect every living person within a certain boundary. Zhan Chen could see the sweating forehead of Kai Min. He turned his body and pulled Kai Min into his embrace.


    Then with a beauty in his hand, he climbed the herb mountain of Cleansing Incense ancient sect leisurely. The Cleansing Insense ancient sect was impressive as it ced a nest of flower striped sand boas at the western side of the mountain but Zhan Chen was like a mighty king. He easily climbed the mountain while the flower striped sand boas thrembled in the ces of their hiding.


    It took sometime for Kai Min to adjust to the soul aura of Zhan Chen. She looked at the handsome face of Zhan Chen which was looking more heroic to her. She didn''t know how Zhan Chen could release such an aura but instead of curiosity, a feeling of happiness surged in her heart.


    ording to Kai Min''s thoughts, this aura was just another mysterious ability that Zhan Chen possessed. She didn''t ask Zhan Chen anything as she let Zhan Chen held her waist.


    While Kai Min was travelling with Zhan Chen, other girls also had their own chance encounters. Li Shu and Li Yan met two Core condensation realm experts of Shen n and they offered both of the girls to travel with them. The two girls were happy toply as it wasparatively safer to travel with two level four experts. They were currently inside arge hall where strange paintings were all over the ces.


    Two Shen n experts were still observing the different paintings but it was not the case for Li Yan. There was no doubt in the talent of Li Yan as she was renowned for her talent in the capital of Clear sky province. She was currently observing a painting where a cultivator was wielding a in looking sword.


    After Li Yan started to look at the painting, her body stay rooted to the ground. Her eyes became nk as if her soul had escaped from her body. Other experts who had also arrived at the hall, started to be curious about Li Yan''s condition. Shen n experts also felt rmed but after approaching the vicinity of the painting, they felt an invisible barrier around Li Yan and the painting. They let other experts approach Li Yan as there were nothing others could do to disturb Li Yan.


    Li Shu also searched for her opportunity but she felt disappointed. There were arge number of painting but nothing could attract her mind. As a Li family descendant, she had some understanding towards such paintings. These kind of paintings contained martial techniques. One could onlyprehend them if they had affinity with such techniques.


    There were total ninty nine such paintings across the long hall. Every painting had the figure of an ancient cultivator. Li Shu walked around most of the paintings. Some figures were holding swords, some were holding spears and some of the ancient cultivators stood barehanded. Li Shu couldn''t feel any resonance from most of the painting. She could only look at Li Yan who had already started toprehend a painting.


    A frustration rose in her heart as she thought to give up and wait patiently for her cousin sister toplete herprehension. Li Shu looked around and saw few other warriors also managed to resonate with different paintings. Li Shu clenched her fist and decided to check every painting in the long hall. After all, she couldn''t give up without trying once! The stubborn nature of Li Shu woke up after she saw few other warriors started toprehend the ancient paintings.


    Li Shu moved through entire hall but couldn''t find any painting to her liking. There were only few paintings left and Li Shu felt helpless. With a downcast look she walked ahead. The hall was iparablyrge. So, when Li Shu reached the corner of the hall, Li Yan was already out her sight. A painting caught the eyes of Li Shu as her eyes lit up in interest. All the gloominess in her heart disappeared as a silver of hope flickered in her eyes.


    The Shen n warriors were dumbfounded. ording to them, no matter how talented the cultivators of Shredded mountain province was, they couldn''t match with the cultivators of Centralnd.


    But all of their arrogant thoughts disappeared as reality said otherwise. First, they witnessed the prowcess of Zhan Chen. Now, two little girls started toprehend the ancient paintings while they couldn''t connect with even one of the painting. Li Yan was fine but what make them ashamed was the fact that even Li Shu had find a painting of her own. They could only smile at eachother helplessly.


    Li Yan and Li Shu found their opportunity without any hassle but it was not the case for other girls. Shen Ruyan was currently fighting with a middle-aged man as both of them were using martial techniques to counter eachother.


    Liu Nanxi was standing in a distance but she was not interfering with the battle between Shen Ruyan and the middle-aged man. Her eyes were alert as she was keeping an eye on the surrounding.


    "Miss, don''t push things far. My uncle is nearby. It wouldn''t be nice if things escte", the middle-aged man spoke while parrying a sword attack of Shen Ruyan.


    "It is not me who started the battle. Since, you dare to start it then you most pay", Shen Ruyan spoke as she waved her sword towards the middle aged man.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 132 - Herb Mountain

    HanKai Min felt an indescribable emotion as she climbed the herb mountain along with Zhan Chen. Flower striped sand boas were no longer threats to them as they bowed their hoods meekly whenever Zhan Chen and Kai Min passed through them.


    Zhan Chen''s face was calm but their was an unwavering self confidence in his eyes. Kai Min stared towards Zhan Chen''s face time to time. Her admiration for Zhan Chen grew with every single nce.


    A sweet feeling appeared in her heart as she thought about her little moment with Zhan Chen. "What am I thinking?", Kai Min''s face became crimson after she pulled back her thoughts. She sneakily took a nce towards Zhan Chen and saw Zhan Chen was not looking at her. She hurried tried to appear normal and walked along with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had kept his soul consciousness open. So, how could he not see the reddened face of Kai Min? But he didn''t want to make her awakeard. So, he pretended to not see anything.


    His current focus was on Flower striped sand boas as he noticed more powerful Flower striped sand boas in their way. The further they climbed the mountain, the lesser the number of Flower striped sand boas but what truly attracted his attention was the cultivation level of sand boas who were guarding the higher ces.


    "Tier two and tier three sand boas are of no use to me. But I can''t ignore tier four Flower striped sand boas", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Tier two magical beasts were simr to level two human cultivators. Beasts had their separate ways of cultivation but the process was almost same in lower levels. Both human cultivators and magical beasts had to open their meridians when they reached level two or tier two.


    Simrly, tire three magical beasts were simr to True esse realm cultivators and tire four magical beasts could bepared to Core condensation realm human cultivators.


    Beasts had their unique advantage over humans. Humans were gifted with brains but their physical prowcess was in lower side whenpared to physical prowcess of magical beasts. Flower striped sand boas were short in size but their small size made them more deadly inbat.


    One could use them for a surprise attack and that was the reason why Zhan Chen felt interested.


    Zhan Chen climbed more higher and finally the fourth tire sand boas entered the eyes of Kai Min and Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had his soul consciousness open all the time. So, he had already known the position of fourth tier sand boas.


    A thought appeared in his mind and two invisible rays entered nearby fourth tire sand boas. The flower striped sand boas body shook lightly but they couldn''t resist the power of Zhan Chen''s overbearing soul attack.


    Even majority of human Core condensation realm experts couldn''t deal with soul attacks. The cultivators who were not aquatinted with soul attacks only had two way to resist the soul attacks of an attacker. That was if they had any rare treasure rted to soul or they had higher level cultivation level than the attacker.


    But Zhan Chen was different even with higher level cultivation a cultivator or a magical beast could not resist his soul attacks. The exception was due to his sage level soul. Although his soul was still damaged but it was healing slowly with time.


    Zhan Chen''s soul strands entered the Flower striped sand boas bodies and turned into invisible symbols. Only few moments had passed since Zhan Chen came to the vicinity of tier four sand boas but he already had two tier four Flower striped sand boas in his control.


    Suddenly Zhan Chen felt some changes from Kai Min. Her face was red and a dazed appearance appeared on her face while staring at Kai Min. She was holding his left hand. So, Zhan Chen could feel that her body temperature was dropping.


    "What is this girl thinking?", Zhan Chen shook his head with a smile. He didn''t have to look at Kai Min to know what was happening.


    It was Kai Min''s poisonous yin body acting up. Her condition was worsening each day. And when she thought about her intimate moments with Zhan Chen, her poisonous yin body acted up.


    "Fortunately, we are not far away from herb mountain. Moreover, noone can enter the mountain while the Purple crown lion is still there. There are also illusion formations...", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Kai Min pulled up herself after staying dazed for some moments. Her face was ready red and a strong desire was ring up in her heart. Previously she had reservation in her heart regarding matter with Zhan Chen. But after spending sometime with Zhan Chen, her reservation had loosened up. Even a special feeling for Zhan Chen had already developed in her heart.


    "Don''t worry. We just need a little time", Zhan Chenforted Kai Min. Kai Min blushed as she knew the meaning behind Zhan Chen''s words.


    Zhan Chen obtained two more Purple striped thunder boas before reaching the top of the mountain. Kai Min couldn''t restrain herself anymore as she started to lose her mind. A moist sensation came from her undergarments as her eyes started to get watery.


    There was a mist covered area appeared Infront of Zhan Chen''s eyes after he climbed up the steep path from the west side of the herb mountain.


    "A illusion formation of earth grade can''t block my way", Zhan Chen muttered to himself as he looked towards the surrounding mist. His eyes glowed as he looked towards the mist. With his experience, earth grade formations couldn''t hinder him.


    If the formation ahead was an attack formation then he would have shown some caution but an illusion formation was not of any concern to him.


    He merely scanned the surrounding with his soul consciousness and walked ahead. His left hand was on Kai Min''s waist as he pulled her away with him.


    Kai Min was already on verge of losing control. Her face waspleted red as she was trying to move her hand towards the ce between her thighs. Zhan Chen was holding her body tightly. He didn''t let Kai Min''s hands move around.


    As time passed, Kai Min felt the tingling sensation going strong under her undergarments. She felt as if her body was in fire but Zhan Chen could only feel coldness from her skin. If not treated in time, the poisonous yin body may proved to be deadly for a female cultivator.


    Zhan Chen was aware about it. ''Looks like I can''t dy any further. ording to my calction, there should not be any problem for another month but we can''t take the risk. I have already discovered many herbs with Yang attribute. Majority of them are better than the herbs than Treasure cloud pavilion had prepared....'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen walked through the illusion formation calmly. There was not a single mistake in his part as he crossed the earth grade illusory formation with Kai Min in his hand.


    --------------------


    Different grades of formation-


    Spirit grade


    Profound grade


    Earth grade


    Nirvana grade


    Heaven grade

 Chapter 133 - Can Not Wait

    The inside of the herb mountain was unlike it''s outer appearance. Multicoloured herbs were growing on the mountain peak and a faint aroma unique to spirit herbs were all over the ces.


    Zhan Chen stepped out of the illusion formation along with Kai Min. Kai Min was struggling to move her body as her mind was already nk.


    Zhan Chen took a deep breath and the aroma of the herb mountain entered his nose. A faint smile appeared on his face as he checked the surrounding of the herb mountain.


    ''Who would have thought that there is such an interesting ce in the western region. It is indeed a surprise. An intact herb mountain of a powerful sect!'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. His eyes turned towards the struggling Kai Min who was trying to get out of his embrace.


    "Let me check your body condition first. Then I can help you releasing your yin essence", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min. Kai Min didn''t reply to Zhan Chen''s suggestion. Her mind was already a mess. So, she could only vaguely hear what Zhan Chen was speaking.


    Her hand instinctively moved towards Zhan Chen''s robe.


    Sun was signing brightly above the herb mountain of Cleansing Incense ancient sect. If Kai Min was in her right mind then she wouldnever have acted so bold Infront of Zhan Chen. But the eruption of her Poisonous yin body had already taken over her mind and soul. She was only acting now on the basis of her primal urge.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop Kai Min''s hand. He stretched his hand and held the other hand of Kai Min with his hand. He wrapped his palm around Kai Min''s wrist and put a strand of his essence energy inside her meridians.


    His soul consciousness had already found out the state of Kai Min''s body but to be sure of his conjecture, he used the method of essence energy invading her meridian.


    A cold sensation came from Kai Min''s body as soon as Zhan Chen injected a strand of his essence energy inside Kai Min''s body. Her body was like a sea of cold water which immediately drowned the strand of Zhan Chen''s essence energy.


    "Your condition is more dangerous than I think. Fortunately, there are herbs to help in the process", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min.


    Kai Min didn''t seem like listening. Her hand was already inside Zhan Chen''s robe. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness wide and checked the condition at the gate of herb mountain.


    The battle between Purple crown lion and the cultivators of Western region was raging. The faces of Western region cultivators were pale but Purple crown lion still seemed to be full of vigour.


    ''A peak fifth tier Purple crown lion is not something you guys can handle. There is also this illusion formation. Do battle as much as you want. I can apany my girl till then'', Zhan Chen thought with a smile.


    "Miss Min, apany me to the stone bench. This ce belongs to us for today", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min and guided her to the nearby stone bench.


    Zhan Chen picked Kai Min by her waist and ced her body gently on the stone bench. The surface of stone bench was warm as the sunlight was constantly pouring over it. But the coldness of Kai Min''s body made the benchpletely cold.


    Zhan Chen sweated a little after seeing the changes to the environment. Previously, cold wave came after Kai Min released her yin essence. But this time she had not done much but the surrounding was already affected by her body temperature. Zhan Chen couldn''t imagine what would happen if such condition appear when they were continuing their journey in the midst of Cloud forest range.


    Zhan Chen didn''t wait longer as he crouched down beside the body of Kai Min.


    He nted a kiss on her beautiful lips and stretched his hand towards herher region. She still had her clothes on. Her body trembled when she felt the touch of Zhan Chen''s finger over her sacred cave.


    Zhan Chen ced another kiss on her cold lips and took out the belt supporting her purple coloured dress. The belt came out and the purple coloured battle robe Kai Min was wearing, loosened up.


    Zhan Chen squeezed her tall peaks and Kai Min started to moan lightly.


    ''Nnnnnnn~''


    ''Mmmmm~'', her light moans were enough for Zhan Chen''s little dragon to re up. Zhan Chen suppressed the desire of his unbridled dragon and undressed Kai Min.


    Her picturesque body appeared Infront of eyes of Zhan Chen. It was not the first time he was seeing Kai Min''s body but her soul stirring beauty have a unique kind of visual treat to Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen squeezed her tall peaks and gently squeezed the red cherries on top of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.


    Kai Min didn''t have any control over her body as Zhan Chen''s stimtion made her sacred cave watery in response. A faint wave of coldness came out from her cave and it felt like a cool breeze pass by near the stone bench.


    Zhan Chen parted open her thighs and exposed her sacred treasure to the warm sunlight. Zhan Chen ced his finger finger on top of her cave entrance and gently rubbed.


    ''Mmmmm~''


    ''Nnnnnnn~'', Kai Min moaned as few dew like drops started to moisten her inner cave.


    Zhan Chen pushed his finger slightly and invaded the cave entrance of Kai Min.


    "Ahhhhhh~", Kai Min moaned lightly as a light pain came from herher region but the pain gradually taken over by the waves of pleasureing from her sacred cave.


    Zhan Chen rubbed the tiny bud above her sacred cave and Kai Min''s body shivered due to the stumtion. With one hand he rubbed her tiny bud and other hand was busy in pleasuring her sacred treasure.


    Kai Min couldn''t hold on after ten minutes. A stream of fragrant water came out of her sacred cave as her body twitched slightly.


    A cold wave apanied the flowing stream of yin water and turned the air near the stone bench moist. Kai Min came to her senses as soon as he released the yin essence from her sacred cave. She blushed heavily after her eyes fell upon Zhan Chen.


    "What are you doing?", Kai Min murmured with a reddened face as she saw Zhan Chen tasting his finger. He also had a greedy yet satisfied expression on his face as he tasted his finger which still had Kai Min''s yin water on it.


    Kai Min felt like digging a hole and hiding inside it. She quickly hid her peaks and little sister with her hands. Zhan Chenughed after seeing the shy expression of Kai Min.


    ''How adorable! How can be such huge things hidden by a slender hand?'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Are you feeling better?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min. Kai Min nodded her head with a blush.


    "Your condition is far worse than I have predicted. We can not wait any longer. There is a spirit fruit which can help to strengthen my Yang essence greatly.. With the help of the fruit, I canpletely cure your body", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min.

 Chapter 134 - Golden Yang Tree

    "We have to do it here?", Kai Min asked timidly. Zhan Chen nodded with a serious expression. Kai Min saw the expression of Zhan Chen and knew Zhan Chen was not ying around.


    "I will listen to you", Kai Min spoke softly.


    "Take a little rest. I am going to pick up a spirit fruit", Zhan Chen spoke. Kai Min nodded her head and stretched her hand towards her clothes.


    Zhan Chen''s action was faster than her hands. He picked up her clothes from the group and ced them on the stone bench. "Thank you", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen chuckled and cupped her beautiful face with both of her hands. He took a quick taste of her beautiful lips and dashed towards the northern end of the herb mountain.


    Kai Min stared towards the fading silhouette of Zhan Chen and a look of longing appeared in her eyes. She was known as a strong and cold hearted girl but noone knew it was a facade.


    She had to show her strong appearance Infront of everyone. She needed to be strong to support her family amidst her hypocrite n members. This was the first time that she was feeling like she could rely on someone. The aftertaste of Zhan Chen''s kiss was yet to fade from her lips. Kai Min blushed slightly as a sweet feeling appeared in her heart.


    After leaving Kai Min on the stone bench, Zhan Chen dashed forward towards the northern part of the herb mountain. He was using the Ethereal cloud steps to move forward. His figure floated away like a cloud as he dashed forward in the northern direction.


    Zhan Chen stopped after reaching the northern end of the herb mountain. He passed through many level four and level five herbs but he didn''t stop near any of them. His target was clear. He was hear to pick up the seven Yang golden fruit.


    Zhan Chen looked ahead and saw a small spirit herb ahead. There was no other spirit herb nearby. There was not even a single weed near the spirit herb which upy the northern corner of the herb mountain for itself.


    Zhan Chen felt curious about the appearance of this small herb in the herb mountain of Cleansing Incense ancient sect. The small herb ahead of him was Golden Yang tree which was famous for its rarity in the cultivation world.


    The spirit herbs were divided into seven grades and Golden Yang tree was ranked at the peak. It was a grade seven spirit herb. Compared to other grade seven spirit herbs, golden Yang tree was considered much more precious as it was quite difficult to find a Golden Yang tree in this cultivation world.


    Zhan Chen was feeling curious since he discovered this small Golden Yang tree in the herb mountain of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    It wasmon knowledge among alchemists that Golden Yang tree could only survive in extreme yang condition but the appearance of Golden Yang tree in the herb mountain made Zhan Chen curious.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and tried to find out any irregrities in the surrounding. But no matter how much he tried, he couldn''t find anything abnormal in the surrounding of the Golden Yang tree.


    "Am I missing something? How is it possible for a golden Yang tree to appear in a normal condition?", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen felt confused but didn''t give up. After attentively looking for sometime, he found an array formation below the golden Yang tree. The array formation was built brilliantly. It was made in such a way that even Zhan Chen couldn''t find it''s existence even with his sage level soul consciousness.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up with interest as he observed the array formation below the Golden Yang tree. "Divine symbols!", he eximed in surprise after observing the array formation for a moment.


    ''There is such a method to use divine symbols in array formation!'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He observed theplete formation and finally found out the source of Yang energy. It was the skull of an unknown beast which was proving Yang energy to the Golden Yang tree. The array formation wasid out to guide the Yang energy to the Golden Yang tree.


    ''The formation techniques of this Cleansing Incense ancient sect is a never before seen kind. I most find a way to get my hands on these techniques'', Zhan Chen decided in his mind. After sorting out his thinking, he didn''t wait any longer.


    He walked towards the Golden Yang tree and stretched out his hand after reaching near it. The technique to harvest the fruit of Golden Yang tree was special and other would find it difficult to harvest the fruit even if they discovered the golden Yang tree.


    Zhan Chen also didn''t have anything that could store the fruit of Golden Yang tree. Normal wooden case couldn''t hold the fruit of Golden Yang tree and it would crack after the fruit was stored in it.


    Zhan Chen knew the property of the fruit of Golden Yang tree very well. So, he didn''t try to pluck it and store it. His nning was simple yet dangerous. He was nning to directly consume the essence of the fruit.


    There was a golden coloured fruit on top of the small Golden Yang tree. If one looked carefully, then he or she could find six distinct lines in between the dazzling golden colour.


    Every line proved the growing time of Golden Yang fruit. The fruit had six lines. It meant the golden Yang fruit was six hundred years old.


    ''Fortunately, it is yet to mature. Otherwise with my current cultivation stage, I dare not eat a golden Yang fruit with seven lines on top of it'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The Golden Yang fruit melted slowly under the soul fire of Zhan Chen. It would have taken only few minutes if it was some grade four or grade five spirit herbs but the Golden Yang tree was a grade seven spirit herb.


    The golden Yang fruit was yet to mature but it still had reached grade six. Zhan Chen took almost an hour to melt it into essence liquid.


    The fist sized fruit turned into few drops of essence liquid. Zhan Chen didn''t put away the golden coloured liquid. It was a fact that he had not prepared a suitable container with which he could store the essence liquid of Golden Yang fruit.


    He took a long breath and a determined look appeared in his eyes. He opened up his mouth and swallowed few drops of essence liquid gathered from the Golden Yang fruit.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 135 - Yin Yang Union

    Zhan Chen felt a burning sensation as the few drops of golden liquid traveled through his throat. The divine yin Yang diagram which lied on top of his damtian lit up with a brilliant colour.


    Zhan Chen''s body heat up gradually. The divine yin Yang diagram started to release extremely pure essence energy into his meridians.


    If it was only some strands of true essence energy then Zhan Chen would have faced no problem but what wasing from the divine yin Yang diagram was not some mere strands. It was waves after waves of True essence energy!


    Zhan Chen knew it was impossible to handle such amount of energy in normal means. So, he hurriedly moved back towards the direction where he left Kai Min. Without the yin constitution of Kai Min, he wouldn''t have dared to absorb such a high grade spiritual medicine.


    The golden Yang fruit had six lines on the top of it. It implied that the golden Yang fruit had already reached grade six when Zhan dissolved into golden Yang essence. If the golden Yang fruit was given another hundred years time then another line would have appeared on the golden Yang fruit. Seven implied supreme. The golden Yang fruit had then be mature and considered as a seventh grade supreme spiritual medicine.


    Zhan Chen didn''t refine it when it was mature but it was still a genuine sixth grade spiritual medicine when Zhan Chen processed it.


    The cultivation level of Zhan Chen was only at True essence realm at present. He took an enormous risk when he swallowed a grade six medicine despite being only a level three cultivator at present.


    Zhan Chen prodpired profused as an extre heat silently assailed him. The heat was noting from outside rather it was appearing from his inner body.


    The ufortable grew rapidly and Zhan Chen felt like his body was going to explode. He couldn''t use Cloud stepping steps anymore as his essence energy grew out of his control.


    Zhan Chen gritted his teeth in pain as the heating out from the golden essence flooded his body. The pain was so unbearable that Zhan Chen felt like dying.


    When Zhan Chen felt situation was going out of control, a transplendent light came out of his soul. it glowed brilliantly and invisible rays of light fell upon Zhan Chen''s dantian.


    A good amount of true essence energy vanished from Zhan Chen''s body as Zhan Chen felt his pain lessened. It stopped within few seconds. Zhan Chen was still feeling waves of heat but it was not unbearable like before.


    Zhan Chen sighed in relief as his gamble seeded. He had yet to discover the function of mysterious diagram but it still acted when it mattered. Zhan Chen had a hunch about its ability. So, he gambled a little and swallowed the golden Yang essence in whole.


    It was not like he had another option either. The golden Yang fruit would started to leak it''s essence once it was tampered. Zhan Chen didn''t have any container which could store the essence of a powerful sixth grade medicine. So, he decided to swallow the essence of golden fruit despite the danger involved. Danger and opportunity always go hand in hand. Zhan Chen knew it was a great opportunity. So, he risked it despite the danger involved.


    With the help of mysterious diagram, Zhan Chen managed to find some relief. He used cloud steps technique and hastened his pace.


    Kai Min had dressed herself after Zhan Chen left her alone. Her heart was already in turmoil after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. She knew she would be his sooner orter but when the moment really came, she couldn''t calm down at all.


    A shadow moved towards her in a breathtaking pace. Kai Min turned her head and looked towards her left. A charming smile appeared on her face after she saw Zhan Chen.


    "How is it? Have you managed to find the spirit medicine", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head. His gaze fell upon her beautiful face. With her reddened cheeks, she was looking enchanting.


    The desire of Zhan Chen red up as his breathing became heavy. The Yang essence energy that he was trying his best to suppress became uncontrolled once again.


    "What is wrong?", Kai Min asked with concern. She could see that something is not right with Zhan Chen.


    "Can we start? I have already consumed the golden Yang fruit. It is hard to suppress myself any further", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He was trying his best to appear normal but the overbearing Yang essence of golden Yang fruit was difficult to handle. Kai Min could see the difficulty of Zhan Chen. She understood the meaning of his words.


    "Is there no problem if we do it here?", Kai Min asked in a shy manner.


    "Believe in me. This is the best ce with the formations protecting it", Zhan Chen replied. His voice appeared ragged as he found it difficult to cope with the rising heat.


    Kai Min didn''t ask another question as she started to undress herself. Zhan Chen take off his robe and removed his pant. His fully naked body appeared Infront of the eyes of Kai Min.


    Kai Min blushed as she stole a nce at Zhan Chen''s body. His body was not overly muscr but his lean body seemed perfect to Kai Min.


    Zhan Chen helped her in removing her remaining clothes. Then he pushed her lightly to the stone bench.


    Kai Min was only with her undergarments at the moment. Zhan Chen leaned on her body and nted a kiss on her luscious lips. His hand directly went downward as he caressed her jade like thighs with his palm.


    Kai Min shivered as Zhan Chen''s warm touch stirred up her desire. She rubbed her legs unconsciously as her tongue became entangled with Zhan Chen''s.


    Zhan Chen had yet to do anything but a wet patch appeared on the undergarment of Kai Min. Her yin essence stirred up by Zhan Chen''s passionate stimtion.


    Kai Min''s response became more passionate as she actively kissed Zhan Chen. Their mouths were already entangled with eachother for a while but both of them had no intention to let go.


    Zhan Chen sneaked in his hand inside her undergarment and ced his fingers on her wet cave. Then he rubbed her cave entrance gently only to see Kai Min bing more passionate with each passing moment.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t wait any longer. He let go of her lips and removed her undergarment. Then after raising her legs and cing her cave in an essible position, he pointed his raising dragon towards her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhh~", with a painful cry from Kai Min, Zhan Chen announced his arrival on the battlefield. His spear was relentless as it charged forward with an indomitable spirit.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 136 - Yin Yang Union (2)

    Zhan Chen felt a cool sensation as a stream of pure yin essence flooded his body. He couldn''t stop himself as he thrusted his dragon few more times in the sacred cave of Kai Min.


    "Sssss~


    Ahhhhhh~", Kai Min let out a moan filled with pain and pleasure. Her eyes became watery as she epted the onugh of Zhan Chen in her new bloom lotus.


    The heat of Zhan Chen''s body lessened slightly as he received the pure yin essence of Kai Min. The unbearable feeling lessened somewhat after he vented his desire on Kai Min.


    Zhan Chen noticed the watery eyes of Kai Min after he felt a little better. This was the first time he had be so rough with a girl in her first time. Zhan Chen felt a little apologetic to Kai Min.


    He wouldn''t have behaved in such a manner if he could stop himself. The Yang energy of Golden Yang fruit was tyrannical which even had a impact on his state of mind.


    "Sorry. I couldn''t control myself", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min with an apologetic look on his face. Zhan Chen slowed down his pace but their bodies were still connected. Both of them could see the emotion in eachother''s eyes.


    "No need to say sorry. I can understand", Kai Min spoke with a faint blush on her cheeks. Zhan Chen found Kai Min more enchanting as he looked at her blushing face. He lowered his head and nted a kiss on her tender lips. Kai Min reciprocated actively as she timidly entangled her tongue with Zhan Chen''s.


    Zhan Chen didn''t hurry to move his body again. The tyrannical golden essence of golden Yang fruit was being suppressed by the cool yin essence of Kai Min. Zhan Chen let go of her lips and moved towards her tall peaks.


    Kai Min was also same age as him. Both of them were sixteen years old at this time. Kai Min''s body was still developing. Her still budding breasts pose an alluring attraction to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen ced his mouth on one of her breast and his other hand went towards her other peak.


    "Mmmmm~", Kai Min moaned as she wrapped her legs around the waist of Zhan Chen. The red cherries above her peaks stood erect. Zhan Chen circled his tongue around them and Kai Min squirmed in pleasure.


    After little bit of care from Zhan Chen, Kai Min became more rx and weing. Her little cave was already watery with her nectar. Zhan Chen moved his waist passionately and after few minutes of battle, Kai Min released her yin essence out of her cave.


    Zhan Chen let Kai Min rest for a minute as he swept his soul consciousness towards the gate of the herb mountain. A wild battle shed in his mind as he witnessed Purple crown lion battling a group of cultivators Infront of the gate of the herb mountain.


    ''So much grade five experts! This is somehow unexpected. Fortunately there is no grade six expert'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He watched the battle between the Purple crown lion and group of cultivators for another few minutes. Then he switched his focus towards Kai Min.


    Kai Min was looking towards Zhan Chen without blinking her eyebrows. She was observing the face of Zhan Chen with a daze as she saw his somewhat serious looking face.


    Kai Min blushed as Zhan Chen looked back towards her. Zhan Chen picked up by her waist and made her sit down. Then he sat down on the stone bench and pulled Kai Min to hisp.


    After a passionate kiss, Zhan Chen made Kai Min sat on his spear. This position seemed more intimate to Kai Min. She reciprocated Zhan Chen''s kiss and tried to move her body to please Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could feel the huge amount of yin essenceing from Kai Min. The golden Yang essence inside his bodypletely lost its tyrannical nature as Zhan Chen kept dual cultivating with Kai Min.


    A wonderful sensation flooded his mind after the fiery nature of golden Yang essence reduced. It was like someone was roaming in a desert for a long time and suddenly found an oasis after a long period of longing for the water.


    Yin and Yang bnced put perfectly as both Kai Min and Zhan Chen immerced themselves in the wonderful world of pleasure. Zhan Chen made Kai Min crouch on the stone bench as her beautiful b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s. faced his proud spear.


    "Ahhhhh~", Kai Min moaned charmingly as Zhan Chen thrusted his dragon inside her sacred cave. Her still developing peaks giggled in the air as Zhan Chen kept thrusting his dragon inside the mysterious garden of Kai Min.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah", the sound of flesh colliding reverberated in the air as Zhan Chen''s waist collided with the tender back of Kai Min.


    After few minutes Kai Min reached the peak of ecstacy as she released her sweet smelling nectar drenching the little brother of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t stop his dragon as he kept pushing his dragon against the little sister of Kai Min. After thrusting for another few minutes, Zhan Chen reached his limit and flooded the cave of Kai Min with his Yang essence.


    This continued over and over and Kai Min became exhausted after two hours of intense fighting. Her body was exhausted but her little sister felt otherwise. Poisonous yin body was considered as a curse to its possessor because there was no known method to clear the huge amount of yin essence from those cultivators who had poisonous yin body.


    Kai Min would have done for if she had not meet Zhan Chen in time. Even Zhan Chen couldn''t help her if she met Zhan Chen after her Poisonous yin body red uppletely.


    Kai Min was sixteen this year. It meant that her Poisonous yin body was umting for past sixteen years. Even after cultivating for two hot, there was still a huge amount of yin essence left in her body.


    There was no shortcut to clean her body from the umted yin essence. There was only single method and that was dual cultivation with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen gave a massage to the tender body of Kai Min. His hand moved all over her body as he pressed various acupoints of Kai Min.


    Kai Min felt invigorated after she received the massage of Zhan Chen. Her fatigue vanished as she looked towards Zhan Chen with an expectant look in her eyes.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 137 - Battle Intent Of Shen Ruyan

    Zhan Chen raised his spear high after he saw the expectant look on the face of Kai Min. How could he ignore the battle invitation? He readied himself for the uing battle and plunged into the battlefield that was full of joy and sweetness.


    -------------


    In a different location from the herb valley, a group of cultivators were blocking the narrow entrance to a valley. There were many cultivators in the vicinity but no one dared to approach the group of cultivators who were blocking the entrance to the valley.


    Many cultivators had rushed to the location of the valley after they learned about the inheritance valley of the ruined sect. But all of them stopped after seeing the group of cultivators at the entrance of the valley.


    The group of cultivators were wearing ck robes and there was a signia of lion imprinted on their chest area. From their clothes and imposing momentum, any knowledgeable cultivators of Shredded mountain province could guess their identity. They were from ck rock castle which was considered one of the super power of the Shredded mountain province.


    Currently, every cultivators'' focus was on the entrance of the valley because a beautifuldy challenged the ck rock castle. Thedy had covered her face with a veil but it couldn''t hide her natural grace. With her curves and perfect body, she managed to attract the attention of all male cultivators.


    "Miss, don''t take it too far. My ck rock castle experts will arrive shortly. If you remain stubborn, then don''t me me", the leader of the ck rock castle group shouted.


    There was no reply from the beautifuldy but she waved her sword as a reply. A powerful fire snake lunged towards the leader of the ck rock castle group.


    "Damn it. I am being lenient on you because I don''t want to harm your pretty body. But now that you are being stubborn, I will show you the power of my Shattering mountain fist", the middle aged leader of the ck rock castle angrily shouted.


    The youngdy was Shen Ruyan and as for Liu Nanxi, she was already hidden from others view. Her logic was simple. As long as there was no danger to her young miss, she wouldn''t make a move.


    The middle-aged man became frustrated after a long battle with Shen Ruyan. Initially, he just wanted to y a little bit as the youngdy Infront of him was only at first stage of Core condensation realm but reality was harsh. The essence energy of Shen Ruyan was extremely refined and despite being two stages lower, she managed to fight him to a draw.


    As time passed, her attack became increasingly stronger. It definitely irked the middle aged man.


    "Initially you have chance to withdraw. But you you don''t have anymore chance. Wait untill I capture you and then we can have a nice chat", the middle aged man spoke.


    He sheathed his sword and channeled a martial technique. A suppressing momentum came out of his body. Veins appeared on his hand as his body became more muscr. Then he threw a punch towards Shen Ruyan.


    "Mountain shattering fist, first move- Shatter the rock", the middle aged man bellowed as a fist energy surged towards Shen Ruyan.


    A frown appeared on the face of Shen Ruyan as she could feel the suppressing might of the fist. But she didn''t lost her cool as sheunched an attack to meet the fist energy of the middle-aged man.


    ''Boom!'', the fist energy and the sword energy collided loudly and the fist energy shattered the energy wave Shen Ruyan hadunched. Then it moved towards Shen Ruyan without the obstruction of her sword energy. Shen Ruyan brought forward her sword hurriedly and the fist energy dissipated after colliding with her sword. Shen Ruyan took three steps back to adjust herself. Her face was slightly pale as she looked towards the leader of the ck castle group.


    Shen Ruyan gritted her fist as a determined look appeared on her face. She was once known as a cultivation prodigy but fate was cruel to her. She couldn''t manage to reach the Core condensation realm and all the voices of praise gradually turned to the voices of scorn.


    ''What cultivation genius! She is merely a trash who raised her cultivation with her grandfather''s support''


    ''No need to bother about her. She could only be a ything of other n youngmasters''


    ''It is better that way. At least she would have some value in her''


    ''It is her duty to sacrifice herself. As a Shen n member, how dare she reject the marriage proposal of other youngmasters''


    Shen Ruyan recalled some memories which haunt her day and night. Even Zhan Chen didn''t know what was it mean for her to reach the Core condensation realm. Zhan Chen''s appearance was like a sun which lit up the dark life of Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan circted her true essence energy and tightened the grip on her sword. Then she waved her sword the middle aged leader of ck rock castle.


    "Fangs of fire python", Shen Ruyan shouted softly and a three streaks of crimson energy lunged towards the middle aged leader.


    The middle-aged leader was taken aback for a moment as he saw the determined look in the eyes of Shen Ruyan. The hostility and irritability in his heart reduced a little as he threw a punch to receive the sword attack of Shen Ruyan.


    The experts gathered were surprised by the counterattack of Shen Ruyan. There were not many Core Condensation realm experts present as the majority was True essence realm experts. For them battle between grade four experts were a good experience. So, they were watching the battle of Shen Ruyan and the leader of the group from ck rock castle.


    "Young miss withdraw. Some powerful experts areing this way", suddenly the voice of Liu Nanxi came when she was busy in battling the middle-aged man. The experts gathered were surprised after they saw the old woman who appeared out if nowhere.


    "Fifth stage expert!", the middle-aged man muttered softly as he withdrew from the battle. Shen Ruyan wanted to battle for some more time but she knew what was appropriate to do in different circumstances.


    A group of five people appeared in a distance as they made their way towards the entrance of the valley. A frown appeared on the face of the middle-aged leader when he saw the young man walking Infront of the other four people.


    "Lu Weifang! This bastard is nothing but trouble", he murmured to himself while keeping an eyes on the young man who was being followed by four other imposing looking warriors.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 138 - A Tricky Situation

    "Is not it the second young master of Lu family? Why is he here?", the cultivators in the vicinity started to gossip among themselves.


    The young man who was leading the group of five approached the entrance of the valley with unhurried steps. When he approached the group of ck rock castle, his gaze involuntarily fell upon Shen Ruyan who was standing with Liu Nanxi in a corner.


    His eyes lit up and he scanned Shen Ruyan from top to bottom. "What a high quality beauty!", the young man eximed loudly.


    He avoided the cultivators who were greeting him and walked towards Shen Ruyan. His followers moved with him and the group of five approached Shen Ruyan.


    "Miss, my name is Lu Weifang. May I know who miss is?", the young man who was leading the group of five asked Shen Ruyan.


    A frown appeared on the face of Liu Nanxi as she looked towards Lu Weifang coldly. But she could see the cultivation of people behind Lu Weifang. So, she refrained herself from taking any action.


    "Young master Lu, we are not acquainted, right?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Lu Weifang. Lu Weifang looked at the eyes of Shen Ruyan and a glint appeared in his eyes.


    "Miss, there is no point in hiding your identity. If you want, I can invite you for some tea and we can be acquainted", Lu Weifang spoke with a smile.


    "Not interested", Shen Ruyan replied. She was trying her best to suppress her disgust towards Lu Weifang.


    Lu Weifang became stunned for a moment after hearing the reply of Shen Ruyan. Then, a grin appeared on his face as he scanned Shen Ruyan from top to bottom once again.


    "I have never taken ''no'' as a reply. I will wait untill you say your name on your own", Lu Weifang spoke as an evil grin appeared on his face. Then, he signaled the people behind him and walked towards the entrance of the valley.


    "Miss, what should we do? There are three fifth stage experts following behind that brat", Liu Nanxi spoke with a grave tone in her voice.


    Shen Ruyan knitted her brows as she watched the fading silhouette of Lu Weifang and his group. She knew who Lu Weifang was as she had always taken note of super powers of Western region.


    "Lu family is getting more unbridled after their association with Heavenly sword sect. Send a signal for our experts toe over. We can''t give up on the inheritance at this moment", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    Liu Nanxi nodded her head and took out a yellow coloured paper from her storage pouch. There were strange looking symbols inscribed on the yellow coloured paper. If Zhan Chen was here, he would have immediately noticed that it was anmunication talisman used to notify the location to the allied warriors.


    Lu Nanxi infused her true essence energy into themunication tailsman and the symbols on the tailsman lit up after few seconds.


    "I have sent the signal. We will wait untill our expertse over", Liu Nanxi spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and looked towards the group of ck rock castle.


    The middle-aged leader of ck rock castle was also looking at the group of Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi. He could see the intention of Lu Weifang when Lu Weifang was talking with Shen Ruyan. So, he wanted to see what Shen Ruyan was nning to deal with Lu Weifang.


    He noticed the action of Liu Nanxi as he watched her sending a signall through the tailsman. A hesitant look appeared on his face as his eyes flickered.


    "Should I warn her or not?", he felt conflicted inside his mind. Finally, he made his mind and walked towards Shen Ruyan.


    "Miss, are you nning to contest for the inheritance of the valley?", he asked Shen Ruyan.


    Shen Ruyan nodded her head and looked towards the middle aged man. She wanted to see what the middle aged man want to say. The previous battle with him left a good impression on her mind.


    "Miss, you should leave. The Lu family has other experts and I am sure Lu Weifang had contacted them already. Even the experts of my ck rock castle were rushing over at this moment", the middle aged man spoke.


    A surprised look appeared on the face of Shen Ruyan after hearing the words of the middle aged man. She had never expected that the middle aged man would be such such an honest person.


    "Thanks for your concern. But I have already set up my mind", Shen Ruyan spoke. A disappointed look appeared on the face of the middle aged man after he head Shen Ruyan.


    "Good luck then. I hope you know when to give up", the middle aged leader spoke and left towards his group.


    "Wait a minute", suddenly the voice of Shen Ruyan came from behind. The middle aged leader stopped and turned to look towards Shen Ruyan.


    "Miss, is there anything you need?", the middle aged leader of ck rock castle asked.


    "Leave behind your name", Shen Ruyan looked towards the middle aged man.


    "Mo Zhi", theleader of ck rock castle group introduced himself and walked to his group. The members of his group threw some meaningful nces towards him but he ignored them altogether. He knew despite the spection of his group, there was nothing between him and the beautifuldy in the distance.


    ---------------


    Zhan Chen had no idea about the situation of Shen Ruyan. He was busy with Kai Min at this moment.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah", Zhan Chen kept thrusting his spear inside the cave of Kai Min. Kai Min was facing her back towards Zhan Chen and she was moaning time to time as a result.


    It didn''t take time for her to reach her limit and Zhan Chen deposited his Yang essence inside her cave after thrusting for few more minutes.


    Zhan Chen took out his spear from Kai Min''s cave after depositing his Yang essence inside her sacred treasure. A trickle of white came out from Kai Min''s cave after Zhan Chen took out his spear out of her cave.


    "You can take some rest. The yin essence inside you is only half removed at this point. Lend me your storage pouch. I will go and collect some herbs. After that, we will leave the herb mountain", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Kai Min nodded her head and picked her storage pouch from the ground. Zhan Chen took it and dashed towards the entrance of the herb mountain.


    Zhan Chen was keeping an eye on the battle situation of Purple crown lion. After battling tirelessly for hours, the Purple crown lion was at its limit. Moreover, the number of fifth stage experts were growing steadily. Zhan Chen didn''t want to take risk. So, he decided to harvest the most valuable herbs and leave before other experts enter the herb mountain.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 139 - Preparing For The Breakthrough

    ''Blood ginseng''


    ''Purple heart gandorema''


    ''Seven leaf Jadite fruit''


    Zhan Chen kept harvesting spiritual herbs after reaching near the entrance of the herb mountain. His goal was clear. He harvested every grade four and grade five herbs along the way.


    As for why he started from the entrance because he wanted to cover the herb mountain in one fellow swoop. Zhan Chen had discovered a spiritual pond at the western end of the herb mountain. He hurriedly over and his eyes lit up after seeing the herb growing in the middle of the pond.


    ''With it, there is no problem in increasing my soul strength by a huge margin'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He looked towards the lotus which was growing in the middle of the spiritual pond. The body of the lotus waspletely transparent in colour and with it''s full bloomed stage, it had a mesmerising aura about it.


    ''Nirvana water lotus'', Zhan Chen looked at the transparent lotus with burning eyes. The biggest gain of this trip was not Golden Yang fruit but rather the Nirvana water lotus which was growing inside the spiritual pond.


    Inparison of medicinal potency, the golden Yang fruit was ahead of Nirvana water lotus but it could not beat the Nirvana water lotus in its miraculousness.


    The fengshui of herb mountain was arranged upon the harmony pattern of heaven and earth. Heavenly dao was one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all the things in heaven and earth. So, the herb mountain had three extreme corners where three wonderful spirit herbs of heaven and earth were nted.


    Unlike the golden Yang fruit, the nature of Nirvana water lotus extremely gentle. So, its essence could be easily stored inside a normal jade container.


    Zhan Chen lit up his soul fire and started to refine the Nirvana water lotus. A refreshing aroma wafted in the air as Zhan Chen extracted the first drop of essence liquid from the Nirvana water lotus.


    It took almost fifteen minutes for Zhan Chen topletely refine the Nirvana water lotus. His face was slightly pale as he had to push his soulforce to limit for refining the Nirvana water lotus.


    Nirvana lotus was a sixth grade medicine. So, it took Zhan Chen''s utmost effort to refine it into spiritual liquid. Zhan Chen decided to take a rest first. So, he went over to the side of Kai Min and after cheking upon her, entered meditation.


    He opened his eyes after half an hour and feltpletely invigorated. He knitted his brows after checking upon the surrounding with his soul consciousness. The battle was at itsst leg as the Purple crown lion was almost dead by the attack of cultivators.


    Zhan Chen focused his attention on two old men who were attacking the Purple crown lion. With a single push of an old man, a giant palm appeared Infront of the Purple crown lion. The purple crown lion tried to dodge but it still got hit by the palm of the old man.


    ''Mobilizing the essence energy of heaven and earth, Nirvana stage cultivators!'', Zhan Chen eximed softly.


    "What happened?", Kai Min asked with a worried tone. She was aware that they were in the middle of a herb mountain and a great group of cultivators trying to enter it from the entrance of the herb mountain. So, after seeing the surprised expression of Zhan Chen, she asked him for confirmation.


    "No need to worry. Wait a little longer for me. After that we will leave this ce", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min. Kai Min nodded her head but still a concerned look appeared on her face.


    Zhan Chen didn''t want to scare her. So, he didn''t speak her about the arrival of sixth stage experts. He decided to quickly wrap up the herb harvesting and leave the mountain before the sixth stage experts could catch up.


    A peach tree appeared Infront of Zhan Chen when reached the eastern corner of the herb mountain. The peach tree was small as it had the same height as Zhan Chen. The tree had only seven peaches which were dangling from the stalks of the peach tree.


    ''Purewood green peach'', Zhan Chen softly murmured. A grin appeared on his face as he reached his hand towards the green peach dangling from the branches. It was a wonderous fortune for him as he managed to find three extremely rare sixth grade medicines from this trip to the Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    Zhan Chen took another half an hour to wrap up his visit to the herb mountain. By the time he returned to the side of Kai Min, his bag was full of spirit herb and essence liquid from the spirit herbs of the herb mountain.


    He even took out all the jade containers Kai Min had brought and filled each of it with essence liquid of spiritual herbs.


    "Time to leave the mountain", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min. Kai Min nodded her head and followed back Zhan Chen to the bottom of mountain.


    Zhan Chen found a secluded cave for both Kai Min and him. The condition of Kai Min was yet to stabily. Zhan Chen had only managed to drain half of the yin essence stored inside Kai Min''s body.


    He decided to cleanse her body first and deal with the other issuester. The appearance of sixth stage experts made him uneasy. So, he decided to focus on increasing his cultivation after draining the yin essence out of Kai Min''s body.


    Spring bloomed once again in the secluded cave as the body of Kai Min and Zhan Chen mingled with eachother. Zhan Chen had no issue with it''s security arrangement as his soul consciousness was always covering the entire surrounding. There was also an array formation which stopped the noise froming outside.


    Zhan Chen made Kai Min sat on him as his spear pierced her cavepletely. Kai Min cried out with slight pain as the shaft of Zhan Chen almost touched her abdomen.


    "Mmmmmm~


    Ahhhhhhn~", Kai Min moaned seductively as she tried to move her waist. Her movement was clumsy but with Zhan Chen''s help, she gradually became proficient in riding the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen let her act as she pleased and pressed her beneath his body after she was too exhausted to ride his dragon. Amidst some soul stirring moans, the dual cultivation proceeded and it stopped only after four hours passed.


    Kai Min''s body was trembling as her mind was fully upied with fulfillment and pleasure. Zhan Chen gave a massage to loosen her muscles and looked tenderly at Kai Min.


    Kai Min was too shy to look at Zhan Chen. Her body glistening with sweat drops. "Make sure to cultivate after taking some rest. Absorb my Yang essence properly", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min.


    He left towards a corner after nting a kiss on Kai Min''s lips. Zhan Chen sat crosslegged and emptied his mind from other distraction. Then he started to operate the Celestial yin yang sutra.


    Kai Min opened her eyes and observed the face of Zhan Chen. God knows what she thought but red blush appeared on her cheeks. She sat up and wiped her thighs with her fingers.


    The whitish yang essence of Zhan Chen was overflowing from her cave. Kai Min wiped her fingers clean with her lips and sat crosslegged to cultivate. She had already learned how precious Zhan Chen''s Yang energy. So, she didn''t want to waist any and channeled the Yin nourishing technique which Zhan Chen had taught to all of his women.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 140 - Breaking Through To Core Condensation Realm

    Zhan Chen and Kai Min both sat crosslegged and started to digest their respective gains. Kai Min operated the Yin nourishing technique and the pure Yang energy of Zhan Chen provided her with pure streams of energy.


    Zhan Chen also let go of his worries and operated the Celestial yin yang sutra to absorb the essence of Kai Min''s yin energy.


    After such a long battle, Zhan Chen managed to absorb the overbearing essence of the Golden Yang fruit. The divine yin Yang diagram on his diagram lit up brightly and it provided Zhan Chen with unending streams of pure true essence energy.


    Zhan Chen kept operating the Celestial yin yang sutra and the barrier to sixth stage of True essence realm loosened up. He was already at peak of fifth stage of True essence realm for a while.


    After absorbing the unending supply of True essence energy, he finally reached the sixth stage of True essence energy.


    It had not fifteen minute since both Zhan Chen and Kai Min started cultivating and Zhan Chen managed to breakthrough a stage in True essence energy.


    The yin essence energy that Zhan Chen had managed to absorb from Kai Min was really humongous and the divine yin Yang diagram on his diagram absorbed it along with essence energy of Golden Yang fruit and converted them to pure streams of True essence energy.


    Zhan Chen continued to push forward and soon reached the peak of sixth stage of True essence energy.


    ''Boom!'', the barrier blocking his advance to seventh stage of True essence energy loosened up and Zhan Chen charged ahead to seventh stage of True essence energy.


    A sixteen year young man with the cultivation of seventh stage of True essence realm! Even if it was the ancient sects of Centralnd, they would sigh in wonder by the cultivation speed of Zhan Chen.


    It was in the pretext that Zhan Chen was cultivating for four to six years. But if they found out the truth that Zhan Chen had managed to cross two major realms and it took him only some months to do so, then it would be interesting to see the looks in their faces.


    Zhan Chen managed to cross two stages in a short time but the amount of true essence energying from the Yin yang divine diagram had yet to stop. In fact, Zhan Chen had managed to absorb only one sixth of the true essence energy at this point.


    Zhan Chen felt a joying from his heart as he could push for the Core Condensation realm in one go. But he didn''t get distracted by his small sess and kept pushing forward his cultivation.


    He reached the peak of seventh stage of True essence realm in no time and prepared for breaking through to the Core condensation realm.


    Reaching Core Condensation realm was an achivement in itself. One could see it from the overall level of cultivation of Red cloud kingdom. There were so many warriors but the numbers of Core Condensation realm was pitifully small. In fact the condition was so pathetic that there were less that five Core Condensation realm warriors present in the entire Red cloud kingdom.


    Even Zhan Chen''s father was also at the True essence realm. From it, one could see how much difficult it was to advance from True essence realm to Core Condensation realm.


    The first level of cultivation was ''Essence gathering realm''. Then it was ''Meridian opening realm''. After Meridian opening realm, came True essence realm which was the current cultivation of Zhan Chen.


    After the True essence realm came the Core Condensation realm. To breakthrough to Core Condensation realm, one needed to gather arge amount of True essence energy and condense them to form the core.


    The energy needed for forming the core was huge. So, it was not puzzling even if one take three to five years for gathering the huge amount of energy in his body.


    The intricacies of forming the Core was not new for Zhan Chen. He kept operating the Celestial yin yang sutra and kept absorbing the pure true essence energying from divine yin Yang diagram.


    Time trickled by slowly and a vortex appeared in the dantian of Zhan Chen. It rapidly umted True essence energy inside the dantian of Zhan Chen.


    It was one of the challenging step to cross over to Core Condensation realm. Forming the energy vortex in the dantian was the first step to break through to Core Condensation realm. The second step was simple yet the most difficult one.


    The second step was to ceaselessly provide energy for the energy vortex to absorb and after sufficient umtion, supress the energy vortex and condense the true essence essence energy into a core.


    After two hours of cultivation, Kai Min finally opened her eyes. There was a healthy glow on her face and it was evident that she had managed to breakthrough to True essence energy.


    Her lips curled up to form a small smile. After so much waiting, she had finally managed to breakthrough to True essence realm.


    Kai Min looked towards the direction of Zhan Chen and an affectionate expression appeared on her face. It was thanks to Zhan Chen that she could ovee her difficulties and reach the True essence realm.


    Kai Min observed Zhan Chen for some moments and a determined expression appeared on her beautiful face. She closed her eyes once again and started to absorb the remaining amount of Yang energy of Zhan Chen.


    After four hours of ceaseless umtion, Zhan Chen snapped open his eyes. He took a look at Kai Min and once again entered into cultivation state.


    After four hours of ceaseless umtion, Zhan Chen managed to gather a great amount of true essence energy inside the energy vortex of his dantian. The next step was to supress the energy vortex and forming the core.


    Zhan Chen forcefully stop the energy flow from the divine diagram. There was still half of the true essence energy left inside the divine yin Yang diagram but Zhan Chen knew that he had already gathered more than enough true essence energy to form his core.


    Zhan Chen operated the Celestial yin Yang sutra and made the true essence energy umted in his dantian to swirl in a fast speed inside his dantian. With every rotation, the True essence energy became more condensed and solid.


    Zhan Chen kept cultivating and the true essence energy inside his fantial grew condensed gradually. After hours of ceaseless cultivation, the huge amount of true essence energy turned into a lump of solid looking essence ball.


    Zhan Chen knew the most important time had arrived. So, he focused his attention inside his dantian and suppressed the lump of essence energy ball with his will.


    The essence energy ball grew more solid and condensed as a result and after few minutes a traslucent core appeared in Zhan Chen''s dantian.


    A formless might came out of Zhan Chen''s body as soon as he managed to form his core. Gusts of essence energy of heaven and earth approached his body and poured through every pores of his body.


    A small whirlpool formed above Zhan Chen''s head and it attracted a huge amount of essence energy of heaven and earth.


    The gathered heaven and earth energy was extremely pure in nature and it had a cleansing effect on a cultivator''s body.


    Regardless of the cultivator, the energy whirlpool was amon feature for every cultivator who managed to reach Core condensation realm. But how much heaven and earth energy one could attract was different from cultivator to cultivator.


    A normal cultivator could form a three feet long whirlpool after breaking through to Core Condensation realm. Some talented cultivators could form four to five feet long whirlpool after breaking through to Core Condensation realm.


    But Zhan Chen was different from others as he was cultivating a wonderous cultivation technique which had origin from realm above the current world. There was a nine feet long whirlpool appeared above his head as he kept absorbing the pure essence energy of heaven and earth.


    Kai Min had long came out from her cultivation state. With such argemotion from Zhan Chen''s side, how she could cultivate peacefully!


    Kai Min''s mouth was slightly open as there was a surprised expression appeared on her face. She had heard about the energy whirlpools which was considered as heaven''s gift to those who managed to reach the Core condensation realm.


    She had heard about three feet long whirlpool. Even from the mouths of n leaders she had heard that some genius cultivators could form a four to five feet long energy whirlpool after reaching the Core Condensation realm.


    But a nine feet long energy whirlpool! It was unheard of. She could only observe Zhan Chen with a surprised look on her beautiful face.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t see the shocked look on Kai Min''s face. Otherwise, he would have eximed about how cute Kai Min was currently looking. His entire focus was now on swallowing the pure heaven and earth energy as much as he can!


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 141 - Rising Strength

    The energy whirlpoolsted for half an hour before disappearing. Zhan Chen had a reluctant look on his face as he saw the energy whirlpool of heaven and earth vanishing.


    No matter how much he wanted to continue to swallow the pure energy of heaven and earth, it couldn''t be helped. It was already a miracle that an energy whirlpoolsted for half an hour. The energy whirlpool of ordinary cultivators couldst for ten minutes at most. From it, one could imagine how heaven defying the talent that Zhan Chen had possessed.


    Kai Min was still looking at Zhan Chen with wide eyes. Zhan Chen shed a smile at her and walked towards her.


    "Beauty, how much longer are you nning to stare at me? Even with the thickness of my skin, I would blush if you not stop", Zhan Chen teased Kai Min.


    Kai Min blushed after hearing the teasing voice of Kai Min. She hurriedly closed her mouth and a shy look appeared on her enchanting face.


    "Congrattion, you are now a True essence realm cultivator", Zhan Chen smiled at Kai Min.


    "It is all thanks to you. Also congrattion for breaking through to Core Condensation realm", Kai Min spoke. She was genuinely happy for Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen very much wanted to gave her a kiss after seeing her beautiful expression but he stopped himself from doing so. His body was feeling itchy everywhere as the impurities of his body hade out after absorbing the heaven and earth energy.


    "Looks Ike I have to take bath first", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He told his n to Kai Min but contrary to his expectation, she choose to keep cultivating.


    Zhan Chen could see her determination. So, he didn''t insist her to go with him. He came out from the cave and walked towards a certain direction. His footsteps were unhurried but with every step, he covered a distance of ten feets. His movement technique came from the same Ethereal cloud steps and what he was using was it''s second stage, the wind chaser technique.


    Zhan Chen had already discovered a stream after spreading his soul consciousness. He walked towards it and jumped into the water after taking off his clothes.


    Zhan Chen bathed for a good half an hour. Then grabbed his clothes and washed them in the stream. It was nothing new to him as he had gone to the wild for practicing his sword in his past life. Even if he was a prince, he knew how to take care of himself.


    Zhan Chen dried his clothes with his soul me. If his conduct was witnessed, then many alchemists of the world would die in envy. His control over his soul me was exquisite as he managed to dry his clothes without damaging any part of it.


    While bathing, he was checking his surrounding with his soul consciousness. What grabbed his attention was the fact that there was not a single cultivator present in the zone of his soul consciousness.


    Although the prowcess of his sage soul yet to restorepletely but his soul consciousness could still cover the areaparable to the limit of a peak sixth stage cultivator.


    Zhan Chen tried his best but even after some time, he didn''t manage to detect a single soul in the range of his soul consciousness. Zhan Chen became suspicious of the matter but he still didn''t go to investigate it.


    He had gone to many ancient remnants in his past life. So, he could tell that the gate to the outside wouldn''t appear in a short time. So, he decided to focus on cultivation first as there was still half of the true essence energy remained in the divine yin Yang diagram even after he reached the Core Condensation realm.


    He didn''t disturb Kai Min after his return. He sat crosslegged in a distant corner and closed his eyes. His goal was to push for the second stage of Core Condensation realm which was attainable with the avable pure essence energy avable inside the divine yinyang diagram.


    He operated the Celestial yin yang sutra and streams of pure essence energy came out from the divine yin Yang diagram. Unlike the True essence realm, the true essence energy did not distribute itself in the various parts of his body rather all the true essence energy flooded towards his dantian.


    After absorbing many streams of pure essence energy, the core inside his dantian swelled a little. If it was True essence realm then he would have improved by a stage after absorbing such an amount of pure essence energy but in the Core Condensation realm, he could only manage to improve the size of his core slightly.


    Zhan Chen cultivate tirelessly and after another six hours of absorption, he managed to reach the peak of the Core condensation realm. His core was bigger at this point and was looking more refined after the tireless cultivation of Zhan Chen.


    Improving in Core condensation realm was not easy and it wouldn''t be a surprise even if one tooksome years to reach the next stage. But Zhan Chen managed to improve his cultivation after some hours of cultivation. It was the advantage of cultivating divine yin Yang sutra.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop even after reaching the peak of first stage of Core condensation realm. His goal was clear which was to push his cultivation to the second stage of Core condensation realm.


    After another hour of cultivation, the core inside the dantian of Zhan Chen lit up suddenly. An indescribable link with heaven and earth was set as a blurry line appeared around the middle of the core of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen increased the pace of his cultivation as streams of pure essence energy came out from the divine yin Yang diagram. Zhan Chen absorbed the pure essence energy rapidly as streams after strrams of pure essence energy poured into his dantian.


    The blurry line which was orbiting the central axis of his core gradually became clear. Zhan Chen cultivate ceaselessly and blurry line became clear after an hour of cultivation.


    A satisfied look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen as he felt a clear connection with the heaven and earth. The amount of energy he could absorb from the surrounding became double suddenly as the ring on the middle of his core lit up.


    Sess!


    Second stage of Core condensation realm!


    Zhan Chen opened up his eyes as a light smile appeared on his face. Compared to the three basic realms, the progress in Core Condensation realm was more satisfying.


    Zhan Chen could feel that his strength had risen greatly and with his battle experience, he could even battle those at peak of Core condensation realm.


    Zhan Chen looked at Kai Min and could see that she was not far from second stage of True essence realm. Zhan Chen didn''t disturb her as he choose to take a stock of various herbs he had gathered from the herb mountain.


    He had gathered many herbs and there was no empty space left inside his storage bag and Kai Min''s.


    Zhan Chen took another look at all the gathered herbs and found thirty two level five herbs among them. Without his soul fire, he couldn''t have gathered so much of them.


    It was an astonishing number which could even rival the herb mountain of an ancient sect. Those above level five herbs were rarity and it would be great if a supreme sect had had two or three of level six or above stage herbs.


    Zhan Chen skipped the level five herbs and his gaze involuntarily went towards the Nirvana water lotus and Purewood green peach.


    He had yet to refine the green peaches. So, he chose to skip the Purewood green peaches for now. Instead he picked up a jade bottle where he stored the essence liquid of the Nirvana water lotus.


    The essence liquid of the Nirvana water lotus waspletely translucent and a fresh aroma permeated inside the cave after Zhan Chen undone the cork of the jade bottle.


    Kai Min''s nose twitched slightly even though she was still in her cultivation state. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her reaction and gulped the entire liquid essence of Nirvana water lotus in a single go.


    The nature of Nirvana water lotus was gentle.so, Zhan Chen had no worry of any bacsh caused by the overbearing medicinal strength of a level six herb.


    A cool sensation came to his mouth as Zhan Chen gulped the liquid essence of Nirvana water lotus. The liquid essence turned into boundless energy after it entered his stomach.


    Without his guidance, the pure energy of Nirvana water lotus attracted to his soul. The Nirvana water lotus was basically a soul nourishing herb. So, it was no surprise that it would be attracted towards the soul.


    The soul of Zhan Chen recovered in a visible speed as Zhan Chen absorbed the gentle energy of Nirvana water lotus like a dry sponge.


    His soul strength which was stagnated at the fifth stage, broke upon the barrier and directly entered the threshhold of a soul of sixth stage cultivator.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 142 - A Perilous Moment For Shen Ruyan

    "Lu family you dare!", Liu Nanxi cried out. There were several wounds around her body but she was least concerned about herself at this moment.


    She looked at Shen Ruyan who was being chased by a peak Core Condensation warrior. Shen Ruyan''s face was already pale as she was doing her best to maintain a distance from the chasing enemy.


    No matter how much a prodigy she was, she couldn''t match a peak Core condensation realm warrior with her first stage Core Condensation realm cultivation. Before she could run far, an attack crashed towards her back.


    ''Pu!'', Shen Ruyan tried to hurriedly dodge the attack but it still managed to prate her shoulder. Red blood sipped out as arge wound appeared on her shoulder.


    "Bastard", Li Han growled from a distance. As the leader of Shen n cultivators, he felt furious when he saw Shen Ruyan being injured under his watch. But no matter how furious he was, he couldn''t get away from his opponent who was also a peak fifth stage cultivator.


    An attack flew towards him in a breathtaking speed. Li Han couldn''t afford to be careless for a moment. He hurriedly shifted his attention towards the attack of his opponent.


    The battle continued to escte with each passing moment. But it was clear that Shen n group was at a disadvantage at this moment. After Shen Ruyan decided to enter the inheritance valley, Liu Nanxi immediately contacted the powerful members of their Shen n group throughmunication tailsman.


    Liu Nanxi and Shen Ruyan entered first and and Li Han and the other fifth stage expert of Shen n followed after them. Everything was going fine untill Shen Ruyan attempted to decipher the inheritance technique.


    When she tried to decipher the cultivation technique which was inscribed on a rock, the rock started to glow after staying without changes for sometime.


    It immediately attracted the attention of Lu family cultivators who were also present in the valley. Lu Weifang, the second young master of Lu family tried to barge in but he was sent out by an invisible barrier.


    Shen Ruyan heard a voice in her mind and sat crosslegged after hearing the instruction of the voice. The voice disappeared after imparting the technique but Shen Ruyan entered a selfless state after receiving the guidance of the voice.


    Her cultivationsted for eight hours after which she walked out from the inheritance ground. But as soon as she walked out, she faced the covetous eyes of King family cultivators.


    All the three level five experts of Shen n was present but what was unexpected that even the Lu n had three level five experts in their group. The group from ck rock castle was also present but they decided to stay neutral.


    The strength of both Lu family and Shen n was simr but the deciding factor was the fourth person who was a peak Core condensation realm warrior. So, Shen Ruyan had no choice but to flee from the valley.


    The Shen n cultivators wanted to follow Shen Ruyan but they were kept forcefully by the Lu family cultivators. They could only watch helplessly as the peak Core condensation realm warrior followed Shen Ruyan out of the valley.


    ----------


    Zhan Chen had no idea about the perilous condition of Shen Ruyan. Otherwise with his protective personality, how he could cultivate peacefully inside a cave!


    At this moment, he was busy in refining the essence liquid of the Nirvana water lotus.


    Zhan Chen''s soul strength rose rapidly as he absorbed the pure energying from the Nirvana water lotus.


    In this life, his soul was his ultimate trump card as it was the sage soul of his past life. Now that a chance to increase the power of his soul hade, he decided to do not waste any time.


    The power of his soul increased greatly after he started to digest the energy of the Nirvana water lotus. His soul which was somehow withered before brimmed with vitality as he continued to absorb the gentle energy of Nirvana water lotus.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes after two hours. There was a smile stered on his face as he could feel the changes in his soul.


    Others may look baffled after seeing his absorption speed but Zhan Chen was aware about the prowcess of his own soul.


    His soul strength had decreased after receiving grave injury in his past life but it didn''t mean that it wouldn''t recover. After refining suitable soul nourishing herbs, he could sessfully recover his soul strength back.


    Now after absorbing the essence liquid of a grade six herb which could bepared to some grade seven herbs due to its awesome healing ability, Zhan Chen once again regained a great portion of his soul strength.


    Level five cultivators were merely a child y to him now. Even level six cultivators could notpare because his soul strength had already climbed to peak of level six soul. He now only need a gentle push and he could leap into the realm of emperors in the soul strength.


    It didn''t mean he could rashly use his soul strength to dominate level six cultivators. It would be too strenuous for him to fight against ate stage level six cultivator. It was not because his soul was weak but because his body could not support such kind of strain of he use entirety of his soul strength. His body would be badly wounded if he unleash soul force out of the tolerance limit of his body.


    Previously when he was a True essence realm warrior, he was already capable of subduing level five warriors. Now after reaching Core condensation realm, he could skip level five and try to subdue the early stage level six cultivators.


    Generally no matter how frekishly talented a cultivator was, he couldn''t match a level six warrior with the strength of a level five cultivator. Even a peak stage level five cultivator could not receive the blows of a early stage level six warrior. Because there was a fundamental difference between level five and level six.


    The entire cultivation realms could be divided into three parts. First part could be termed as base levelcultivation realms which included Essence gathering realm, Meridian opening realm and True essence realm. These three could be considered as introductory realms where one nted the foundation for cultivation journey.


    Second part included the realms upon reaching which cultivators could be considered as a true cultivator. It was amon fact that in the fight between super forces, cultivation below Core condensation realm couldn''t even considered as cannon fodder.


    Such was the difference between base level and middle level of cultivation. It was difference between a novice and a true warrior.


    Ten peak stage true essence realm warriors couldn''t match a early stage Core Condensation realm warrior. From it one could see how much of a gap there was between base level and mid level. The mid level include fourth level- Core Condensation realm and fifth level-Martial ascension realm.


    As for the third part it was called high level. It included sixth level and seventh level of cultivation. Just from the difference between True essence realm and Core Condensation realm, one could imagine how much difference there was between fifth level and sixth level warrior.


    Sixth level and seventh level cultivators were generally called as king tire cultivators. These were the true backbone of any super forces of this world. From all these facts, one could imagine, how heaven defying Zhan Chen was at this moment.


    He was only at level four, yet he could already subdue a level six warrior with his soul technique. When he was in the base level he could subdue a cultivator of middle level and now he was at middle level, he could subdue a cultivator of high level. It was a heaven defying prowcess which had no precedent in history of Northern desert continent.


    Zhan Chen looked at Kai Min and she was still cultivating. It couldn''t be helped as others were normal cultivators unlike himself. So, despite here Poisonous yin physique, Kai Min was taking her time to reach the second stage of True essence realm.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have to wait longer as Kai Min finished her cultivation after taking another hour of time. A smile blossomed on her beautiful face after she reached the second stage of True essence realm.


    She smiled at Zhan Chen after seeing him looking at her. Zhan Chen felt infected by her joyous mood and decided to gave her a little kiss before leaving the cultivation cave.


    After sharing minutes of light passion, both Kai Min and Zhan Chen walked out of their seclusion cave. Zhan Chen chose a direction and walked towards it. Kai Min didn''t have any opinion. So, she followed after Zhan Chen.


    After walking for some time, Zhan started to grow suspicious. It was the same when he left for taking a bath, he couldn''t find a single cultivator in his surrounding.


    "What is going on!", Zhan Chen felt baffled for a moment.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 143 - Talent Testing Rock

    Zhan Chen moved forward after leaving the cave with Kai Min. He became more suspicious, the farther he went.


    "What is going on?", Zhan Chen couldn''t point out the head or tail of the situation.


    ''Forget it. We should first go to the next important location of this Cleansing Insense ancient sect'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen moved ording to his instinct and it didn''t take him long to find out another important location of the ancient sect.


    ''Outer refinement hall'', was retain on the top of the ancient looking building. One could guess the purpose of the ancient building after seeing the carving of dual hammers at either side of Outer refinement hall calligraphy.


    Zhan Chen entered the building along with Kai Min. There were raws of forging equipments ced in the middle of the hall. There were rooms behind the middle hall where there were still some forging materials left.


    Kai Min felt amazed after seeing the means of ancient sect but Zhan Chen didn''t feel any amazement. Even he guessed that it was not


    the main forging hall of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect. The low quality forging equipments and the word ''outer'' in the Outer refinement hall was a clue to his guess.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stay longer in the outer refinement hall of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect. He strode forward and found out a thin barrier which covered his entire path.


    Kai Min was also looking at the barrier which stretched endlessly infront of them. The barrier was hazy and no matter how she tried to look further, she couldn''t see anything except the barrier.


    "Young master Chen, what is this barrier?", Kai Min looked at Zhan Chen.


    "I am not sure", Zhan Chen replied with a pondering look on his face.


    He checked the barrier with his soul consciousness but couldn''t find any signs of danger from the long barrier.


    ''There is no need to think much. The function of barrier will be clear after I step through it'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Follow me", Zhan Chen spoke and held the hand of Kai Min. Then he stretched his feet towards the barrier resolutely. Kai Min was little bit anxious but she still followed the lead of Zhan Chen obediently.


    Zhan Chen and Kai Min didn''t feel any resistance while passing through the barrier. The barrier was like a mass of concentrated mass of air which made a way for them after they walked into it.


    Kai Min didn''t feel anything but a thoughtful look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after passed through the hazy barrier.


    "If my guess is not wrong, then this formation is one direction heaven passage formation from ancient times", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    There is not much clue for Zhan Chen to guess the name of the formation. But who was Zhan Chen? He was not only a prodigy of sword and alchemy but he was also a highly aplished array master. With his sage consciousness and extensive experience, Zhan Chen could guess the purpose of the hazy barrier.


    The barrier was only a part of a superrge formation which covered the inner part of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect. After stepping into formation, one could only walk forward, there was no choice to go back.


    To prove his guess, Zhan Chen stepped back and walked back into the formation.


    "Young master Chen, why are you walking back?", Kai Min asked after seeing the strange behaviour of Zhan Chen. There was a confused look on her face.


    Zhan Chen could feel a gentle force pushing him away when he tried to step back into the formation. It proved his conjecture right. The purpose of ancient One direction heaven passage formation was to prevent people from fleeing back towards the entrance of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    It meant every cultivator had no way other than moving forward if they wanted to leave the Cleaning incense ancient sect. "Interesting", Zhan Chen mumbled.


    Then he spread his soul consciousness and walked towards the group of nearby cultivators who were standing before a talent testing rock.


    "Nie Shan, forget it. No matter how much you try, you can''t surpass my record", a proud looking young man smirked. His gaze was on the giant rock infront of which another young man was standing.


    The other young man had an angered look on his face as he observed the result of his talent testing.


    He took back his hand after observing his result for another few moments. His temper red up after he saw the smug look on the proud looking young man''s face.


    "Zhu Hao, don''t act if everyone is beneath you. If you dare then gopare yourself against the young masters of Zheng family, Qian family, Lu family and Ningshuag family", Nie Shan shouted towards the proud looking young man.


    "They are they. I am I. Nie Shan, you can''t hide your inferiority even if you take the names of all the prominent families. Moreover....", the proud looking young man stopped his talk after he saw some changes in everyone''s reaction.


    He followed the line of other cultivators gazes and looked towards the talent testing rock which was glowing with a faint blue colour at this moment.


    "Blue colour! How this is possible?", the proud looking young man stuttered when he saw the colour on the surface of talent testing rock.


    He looked downward and his gaze fell upon Kai Min. "What a beautiful girl!", he could only foolishly look at the beauty of Kai Min.


    Kai Min''s beauty had indeed grown after she gave her v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y. to Zhan Chen. The previous her was like a beautiful bud which grown into a blooming flower at this moment.


    Zhan Chen didn''t feel any astonishment after he saw the result of Kai Min. ording to him, the result was passable as Kai Min had the Poisonous yin physique.


    Kai Min withdrew her hand and looked back towards the crowd of cultivators. Everyone was looking at her with a stunned look on there faces. She looked towards the direction of Zhan Chen and felt a little disappointed after seeing the passive look on his face.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the gaze of Kai Min on him. "Well done. Your result is already outstanding", Zhan Chen smiled towards Kai Min. Only now did a smile finally escaped from the lips of Kai Min.


    Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly. With his experience, how could not he see through her feeling. But he couldn''t be med for hisckluster attitude as a talent level of blue colour was little ordinary for him.


    The ancient talent testing stone had total six colours. Orange, red, green, yellow, blue, purple. Thus, a result of blue was outstanding but it was still a little short from meeting his expectation.


    (To be continued......)

 Chapter 144 - The Prestige Of Sword Cultivators

    "Only good. Brat I think you have some problem with your head", Zhu Hao spoke as he couldn''t stand the indifferent attitude of Zhan Chen. What was more unbearing for him was the fact that the beautifuldy Infront of him was not looking at him but at someone who had a much younger look than himself.


    Zhan Chen threw an indifferent look towards Zhu Hao then ignored him altogether. He looked towards Kai Min who was walking towards him after testing her talent level.


    "Miss, how about joining me in exploring this ancient ruin? With me here, no one dare mess with you in this ancient ruin", Zhu Hao interrupted Kai Min before she could leave the stone tform.


    A displeased look appeared in the eyes of Kai Min after she was interrupted. She moved to his side and tried to go past Zhu Hao who was blocking her way.


    "Miss, what is the hurry? Apany me untill we leave this ancient ruin", Zhu Hao moved to his side and again blocked the path of Kai Min.


    Zhan Chen frowned after seeing the attitude of Zhu Hao towards Kai Min. He didn''t want to involve with the profligate heirs of powerful families but now he had no choice. He joined his two fingers and lightly shed towards Zhu Hao.


    Zhu Hao suddenly shivered. All of his hairs stood up as an intense feeling of danger crept into his mind. He could feel that his life was in geopardy at this moment and the source of the danger was approaching from his back.


    Zhu Hao didn''t have time to think much. He hurriedly lean to a side as a vertical sword sh moved past his body. The sword sh slightly scratched his clothes and collided with a stone pir nearby.


    "Boom!", A sound came from the stone pir and it drew everyone''s eyes towards the stone pir that stood behind Kai Min.


    A drop of cold sweat dripped from the head of Nie Shan after he saw the three inch deep cut on the surface of the stone pir. He threw a look at Zhu Hao and a feeling of pity rose in his heart.


    The incident was too sudden that everyone took time to react. There was a stunned look in everyone''s faces as they witnessed the sword sh crashing on the stone pir.


    "Sword ray!", a middle aged cultivator spoke in an absent minded voice. His voice was not that loud but it managed to reach almost everyone''s ears.


    All of the cultivators turned their gazes towards Zhan Chen who was standing there with a nonchnt expression on his face. "What a monster!", the gathered cultivators thought inside their minds after observing Zhan Chen and the three inch deep cut on the stone pir.


    ''Sword ray'', was not a strange term for the gathered cultivators. As long as one was slightly knowledgeable, he or she would have heard about sword cultivators. And one of the main requirement for the sword cultivator was to condense sword ray.


    As long as one could manage to form a sword ray, he could stand out from the rest and could be counted as a elite cultivator. Sword cultivators had a unique prestige among the ordinary cultivators of the world because a sword cultivator could fight with many cultivators of same rank using his sword skills.


    So, now that Zhan Chen had shown his sword skill, everyone was looking at him with awe. Kai Min also had a surprised expression on her face.


    Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing the awestruck look on her face. He didn''t know what would happen to her if she knew that her man was no ordinary sword cultivator but the youngest sword sage of the world.


    Zhu Hao got up when everyone had their attention towards Zhan Chen. A vicious look appeared on his face after he heard the word ''sword ray''.


    He looked towards his allied cultivators and all the members of his group understood the meaning behind his look. Three cultivators moved ahead and stabbed their swords towards Zhan Chen. It was so sudden that even the nearby cultivators couldn''t see through their intention.


    When those cultivators who were standing behind Zhan Chen thought that he was done for, Zhan Chen suddenly moved. No, it was not that he moved his entire body, but he moved only his left hand.


    ''Pu! Pu! Pu!'', three sword shes flew and left behind three bloodied figures in their path. The cultivators who had tried to sneak attack Zhan Chen tried to hold their chest but they couldn''t stop the blood flow. Within few moments, three dead bodies slumped on the ground.


    Zhan Chen turned his head this time. He scanned Zhu Hao and his allied cultivators with a cold look.


    A chilling sensation crept to the heart of those cultivators who were supporting Zhu Hao. They were supporting Zhu Hao only because they wanted to climb the branches of the big tree named Zhu family. But how could a mere Zhu family would be more valuable than their own lives!


    A cultivator suddenly took a step back. Zhu Hao red at him but the cultivator had no intention to move forward. One action inspired many. This time it was no heroic action but even cowards also follow logic. One after another cultivator took a step back and suddenly Zhu Hao became alone.


    His figure was like an abandoned king who had lost the favour of the heaven. "You guys!", Zhu Hao gritted his teeth.


    Then he looked towards Zhan Chen with a defiant look on his face. No matter what he Zhu Hao was a genius on his own. There was no need to lower his head infront of a younger cultivator.


    Zhan Chen didn''t feel anything and he had no care for the thoughts of a minor character like Zhu Hao. He swung his hand again and a sword ray zoomed towards Zhu Hao.


    Zhu Hao took out his sword and tried to parry the attack. But the attack of Zhan Chen cut his sword andnded on his body.


    ''Thud!'', the body of Zhu Hao fell on the ground and a self proimed genius lost his life like this. A sorrowful look appeared on the face of Nie Shan as he witnessed the fall of Zhu Hao infront of him.


    He and Zhu Hao alwayspeted with eachother and their pride was so much that they even dare to defy those from Zheng family, Qian family, Lu family and Nigshuang family. But now Zhu Hao had already bitten dust.


    A bitter taste appeared on the mouth of Nie Shan. He looked at Zhan Chen again and observed the heroic appearance of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had a in look on his face but Nie Shan could feel the inborn pride of an heroic genius from Zhan Chen. It was like, no matter who you are, you will be crossed if you dare to block the path of myself.


    Nie Shan observed Zhan Chen and his fighting spirit lit up once again. After losing the qualification to participate in the grand sect meet, he was feeling lost but now a determined look appeared in his eyes once again.


    " Hello brother, I am Nie Shan. Can I ask your esteemed name?", Nie Shan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 145 - A Golden Brilliance

    Zhan Chen looked towards Nie Shan and could see his motivated and hopeful gaze.


    "I am Zhan Chen. There is no need to add any esteemed before my name", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    Zhan Chen was never an antisocial person. It was just that he would seldom take initiative to be friendly with others. Now that Nie Shan was trying to strike a conversation, Zhan Chen had no reason to disappoint him.


    After the formal introduction, Nie Shan asked about some other things rted to Zhan Chen''s destination. Zhan Chen also rified some of his doubts after asking Nie Shan about the ongoing situation.


    "Brother, why don''t you give it a try. With your talent, it wouldn''t be strange even if you manage to lit up the purple colour", Nie Shan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    A curious look appeared on the face of Kai Min after she heard the words of Nie Shan. "Young master Chen, I also like to see your result", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled after hearing the words of Kai Min. He would never deny such a simple request from her.


    "Then wait for me. Let me show your how amazing your man is", Zhan Chen whispered near the ears of Kai Min.


    ''How cheeky!'', Kai Min''s face reddened after see heard the ambiguous words of Zhan Chen. A blush appeared on her face when she sneaked a look towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled happily after seeing the shy look on her face. A blushing Kai Min had an different allure about her. She was already beautiful but she looked especially charming when she blushed.


    Zhan Chen threw a meaningful look at Nie Shan before leaving. Nie Shan hurriedly changed the dazed look on his face and smiled with embarassment.


    "Excuse me, miss Min. I have really made a joke of myself infront of you", Nie Shan spoke politely.


    "No problem", Kai Min replied. She was aware about her beauty. So, the reaction of Nie Shan waspletely natural. She turned her gaze towards Zhan Chen who was walking towards the talent testing rock.


    Zhan Chen climbed the rock tform and walked towards the talent testing rock. He pressed his hand on the surface of the rock and an invisible energy entered his body upon his contact with the talent testing rock.


    Dazzling rays of light came out from the talent testing rock and the light was so bright it blinded everyone for a moment. When everyone opened their eyes, there eyes automatically got attracted towards the shining talent testing rock.


    The talent testing rock was shining with a golden aura at this moment. They have already seen blue colour and heard about the highest talent that was the purple colour but they had never heard about golden colour which was shining so brightly that even the environment was painted with a golden hue.


    "Golden colour! Moreover the rays are so bright. I wonder if it is better than purple colour or not", a cultivator spoke with amazement.


    "It may be or may not be better than purple but I am sure that it is better than the blue colour", a cultivator spoke with a confident tone in his voice. Many cultivators nodded their heads after hearing his words. Afterall everyone had seen the appearance of blue colour when Kai Min activated the talent testing rock. Radiance of her''s was never so muh dazzling like Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled slightly after hearing the words of the crowd. He stepped out from the stone tform and the stone tform gradually lose its brilliance.


    ''Compared to Purple colour! How can be golden colourpared to Purple colour? It is likeparaing a sixth stage stage expert with seventh stage expert. Moreover, I can''t beleive that there is no purple talent in the Northern desert continent'', Zhan Chen thought to himself inside his mind.


    "Young master Chen, you are amazing!", Kai Min greeted Zhan Chen after he came down from the rock tform. Zhan Chen smiled after hearing the words of Kai Min.


    "It is nothing", Zhan Chen said indifferently. He was already expecting this result. Nie Shan rolled his eyes from the side.


    "How can this guy pretend to be so calm at this moment?", Nie Shannguished inside his mind.


    "Brother, congrattion. Your talent is indeed freakish. With your talent, you will shine in the grand sectpetition", Nie Shan spoke to Zhan Chen with a look of admiration in his eyes.


    "Let''s go. I have to trouble brother Nie Shan to give me some information about my group", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What is the trouble? This is exactly my intention", Nie Shan replied hurriedly. He wanted to be close with Zhan Chen. So, he wouldn''t miss such a chance to know Zhan Chen much better.


    Unlike Zhu Hao, he wasn''t with the people from his Nie family. So, he walked away with Zhan Chen without any hesitation.


    From Nie Shan''s description, Zhan Chen found out that they were currently at the edge of the inner area of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    ording to his knowledge, most of the sects generally had three areas. Outer area, inner area and core area. Beside that, there were some special locations like inheritance ground or forbidden grounds of a sect.


    "So, we have yet toe in touch with the real wonders of Cleansing Incense ancient sect", Zhan Chen spoke after hearing the words of Nie Shan. Nie Shan nodded his head in agreement.


    Zhan Chen asked some more questions about the current situation. He wanted to find out about the situation of Shen Ruyan and others. But to his disappointment, Nie Shan didn''t have any impression of Shen Ruyan and the other cultivators of Zhan Chen''s group.


    They were walking forward in a steady pace but suddenly Zhan Chen stopped. He noticed two Shen n experts ahead of them. They were being chased by other cultivators.


    "What is going on?", Zhan Chen frowned lightly.


    "Young master Chen, what is the matter?", Kai Min asked. Nie Shan also looked towards Zhan Chen with a puzzled look on his face.


    "Wait for me here", Zhan Chen spoke and without replying to Kai Min, he dashed forward using the Ethereal wind steps. He was already in second stage of Core condensation realm. So, his speed was much faster than his previous times.


    His figure blurred and he disappeared from the eyes of Kai Min and Nie Shan before they could blink their eyes.


    "What is with this speed!", Nie Shan eximed after a moment. He was very much puzzled about the sudden disappearance of Zhan Chen. But Kai Min was there with him. So, he decided to wait patiently for Zhan Chen.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 146 Rage Of Zhan Chen

    When Zhan Chen reached near the two Shen n experts, they were already in theirst leg. Both of their faces were pale and Zhan Chen could see that both of them had overdrafted their true essence energy.


    "Shen Wang, you better go. I will cover your back", one of the expert spoke to the other Shen n expert.


    Then without waiting for Shen Wang''s response he turned around and faced the group of pursuers. "Shen Ding, what are you doing?", Shen Wang shouted. Their situation was already very dangerous and now what Shen Ding was doing was indeed foolish to extreme.


    It took only few moments for the pursuers to caught up with Shen Ding. Then before Shen Wang could pursuade Shen Ding, he saw attacks of Core condensation realm rained on Shen Ding.


    Shen Wang closed his eyes for a moment. He didn''t want to run anymore. What is the point anyway? As one of the members of prominent families of centralnd, when did he ever felt so helpless in his life? He didn''t want to struggle anymore.


    He opened his eyes for a moment. But what did he see? Four pursuers were clutching their necks as a look of shock and horror wasced on their faces.


    Shen Ding waspletely unharmed. A youth was standing infront of him like a indomitable spear. ''Zhan Chen'', Shen Wang looked at Zhan Chen with an iprehensible look on his face. "What is going on exactly?", he felt confused for a moment.


    "Gurgle!", a pursurer couldn''t hold his neck anymore as blood overflowed from his mouth and neck. His other threepanions followed suit and their lifeless slumped on the ground one after another.


    "You killed them!", It was Shen Ding who broke the silence first. There was an indescribable emotion in his voice when he spoke the words. He thought he had already died but reality was different. Zhan Chen interrupted in the nick of the time and before he could understand, their pursuers were already killed.


    "What is going on? Why are you being chased?", Zhan Chen asked. He was in no mood to understand the current emotion of Shen Wang and Shen Ding. There was an ufortable feeling welling up in his heart. So, Zhan Chen was feeling restless.


    "It is the Lu family. They wanted to capture young miss. So, the fifth stage experts fight back but it made them more overbearing. They have sent experts to wipe out our entire group", Shen Ding replied.


    "But is not aunt Liu with Ruyan? Moreover, they most have contacted senior Li. With senior Li''s strength, who could threten Shen n group?", Zhan Chen felt confused. He knew Li Han was a peak fifth stage cultivator and as a cultivator of Shen n, he must have learned some powerful techniques from Shen n. So, with Li Han on the helm, what could happen to Shen n group?


    Suddenly, he recalled something and a frown appeared on his face. "Don''t tell me sixth stage experts are targeting our group?", Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ding. He had felt the aura of sixth stage experts while leaving the herb mountain.


    Both Shen Ding and Shen Wang shook their heads after hearing the conjecture of Zhan Chen. Sixth stage expert? That was a Tribtion realm mighty figure. If experts as such take action, then they couldn''t even think of resisting.


    Zhan Chen exhaled in relief after seeing both Shen Wang and Shen Ding shaking their heads. ''It is good as long as there is no sixth stage experts involved'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was not yet capable of facing sixth stage experts with his cultivation realm. If he tried to forcefully resist, then his soul would be fine but he had to give up his current which was not eptable to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen asked Shen Wang and Shen Ding to lead the way where they had spotted the other Shen n experts. He wanted to make sure that his women are doing fine. Ofcourse, he would save Shen n experts if he found them in his way.


    Zhan Chen found out about the entire course of events after hearing the words of Shen Ding and Shen Wang.<sub> </sub>


    Lu family''s behaviour was indeed tyrannical and ruthess to extreme. Both Shen Ding and Shen Wang were nereby when fight broke out between Lu family and Shen n group.


    Shen Ruyan managed to resonate with an inheritance of Cleansing Incense ancient sect and Lu family attacked her as soon as she got out from the barrier of the entrance. They wanted to capture her and force her to give away the inheritance. Moreover, Lu Weifang, the second young master of Lu family had a nefarious design on Shen Ruyan. It was no wonder that fight broke out between Lu family and Shen n group. Forget about coveting Shen Ruyan, even the mere act of coveting the inheritance would enrage the group from Shen n.


    "Bastard", Zhan Chen cursed out. He wouldn''t swear generally but now he was throughly enraged. A mighty aura came out from Zhan Chen''s body and both Shen Ding and Shen Wang shuddered involuntarily. Shen Ruyan was his first woman and she had a special ce in his heart. How could he tolerate it now that she was in such a dangerous situation.


    Zhan Chen took few moments to control himself. He suppressed his aura but his eyes were cold. His murderous heart was throughly provoked this time.


    "Lead the way", Zhan Chen looked at Shen Ding and Shen Wang. Shen Ding and Shen Wang nodded their heads and lead the way for Zhan Chen.


    After walking for a while, Shen Ding and Shen Wang encountered another two Core Condensation realm warriors of Shen n. Both of them were injured and fighting desperately with their three pursurers.


    With the situation they were in, they didn''t notice Zhan Chen, Shen Ding and Shen Wang. Shen Ding looked at Zhan Chen. He hesitated a bit but still decided to ask Zhan Chen for his help.


    But before he could open his mouth, Zhan Chen waved his hand rapidly. Three sword shes flew past Shen Ding and Shen Wang and it easily turn the situation for the Shen n experts.


    Three Lu familly experts stopped after noticing the sword shesing towards them. All of them did their best to resolve the attack but despite their alertness, two of them couldn''t resolve the attack of Zhan Chenpletely. Two shallow wounds appeared on their chests after Zhan Chen''s attack collided with their weapons.


    "Who are you?", the leading expert among the three looked towards the group of Zhan Chen. He acted cautiously as he was wary of the battle prowcess of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t bother to give them any reply. His figure shed as he used the Ethereal cloud steps. He took out his sword ''Devour'' and shed at the three Lu family warriors.


    Only one of the three warriors could offer a little resistance to Zhan Chen. But infront of Zhan Chen''s sword prowcess, resistance was futile.


    It was only the matter of few moments but the result was already clear. Zhan Chen ughtered the three Lu n warriors single-handedly. Only three bloodied figures were left on the ground which spoke the volume of Zhan Chen''s overwhelming battle prowcess.


    The two Shen n warriors wanted to speak some words of thanks but a cold voice forced them to abandon their idea. "Lead the way", Zhan Chen repeated the same line to Shen Ding and Shen Wang.


    (To be continued... )

 Chapter 147 Zhan Chen Joined The Battle

    Zhan Chen was feeling worried about Shen Ruyan. Moreover, he had his other women beside her. Zhan Chen wanted to found out about their situations as soon as possible.


    Zhan Chen rushed over with Shen Ding and Shen Wang and found another group of Shen n experts along his way. They were being chased by a group of Core condensation realm experts.


    It was natural that he couldn''t watch the show


    from the side. He sprang into action and Shen Wang and Shen Ding also tried to help out this time.


    With the addition of Zhan Chen, Shen Wang and Shen Ding, the battle situation turned quickly. After finishing up the enemies, Zhan Chen didn''t let Shen Wang and Shen Ding to catch their breath. His goal was firm. He wanted to check the situation of Shen Ruyan as soon as possible. Moreover, there was also Ling''er and Su''er. Li Shu was also on her own. Zhan Chen felt a little anxious as he hurried towards the inheritance valley of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    This time, they didn''t meet anyone from Shen n or Lu family. They saw other cultivators along their path but they knew only the general situation. No one had news about his other women other than Shen Ruyan.


    Zhan Chen didn''t bother to ask anymore as he rushed ahead towards the inheritance valley of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    After crossing some ancient buildings, tworge hills came to the view of Zhan Chen, Shen Ding and Shen Wang.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and found a crowd gathered in the vicinity of inheritance valley. He spread his soul consciousness further and found the three fighting Shen n fifth stage experts.


    Among the three fifth stage experts, the condition of Liu Nanxi was worst. But it didn''t mean that the other two experts were not trying their best. They were doing their best but the actions of Liu Nanxi could only be described as desperate. She was literally trying to stake her life to get out of entanglement and help Shen Ruyan out.


    Her clothes were already in a tattered condition. Large patches of her snow white skin was exposed to outside.


    Various parts of her body were already bloody but Liu Nanxi was still trying desperately to opening up a gap and slip away. Zhan Chen didn''t wait anymore. He issued amand and two small creatures came out of his clothes.


    The Lu family expert who was fighting Liu Nanxi parried an attack of her and threw a heated gaze at Liu Nanxi. Although Liu Nanxi was slightly old but her beauty was still maintained. She could be described as a cold looking beautiful maturedy.


    The fifth stage Lu family expert who was fighting against Liu Nanxi didn''t like those youngdies who were still tender beneath their legs. ording to his opinion, what was the fun in testing those upripe fruits who were still not mature yet.


    Rather he liked those fully matured women who were oozing female charm from every parts of their bodies. He liked those with full peaks and round moons on their back. Liu Nanxi was one of such. So, he deliberately choosen Liu Nanxi.


    He was already thinking about presssing the beautiful body of Liu Nanxi underneath him but suddenly a premonition rose in his heart. Before he could thick of something, he felt a a sharp pain on his leg.


    He hurriedly swung his leg and took a look at his leg. It was a small and slender creature which was biting his leg.


    If it was some ordinary creature then he would not bother to think about a ordinary skin wound. But he knew the identity of the in looking creature.


    "Flower striped sand boa", the face of the fifth stage expert of Lu family became deathly pale at this moment. He hurriedly swung his sword at the flower striped sand boa but couldn''tnd a hit on its body.


    A sharp pain came from his other leg when he was busy with dealing with the flower striped sand boa.


    A numb feeling came to the mind of the fifth stage Lu expert. He threw a look at his other leg and his face got discolouredpletely.<sub> </sub>


    It was another flower striped sand boa! Liu Nanxi took the opportunity and pulled away some distance between herself and the Lu family expert.


    It took only some moments and before anyone could do anything, white froth started to came out from the Lu family fifth stage expert.


    "Elder Quanhe, please do something. Otherwise, Jingchu will die", the other expert of Lu family looked towards the peak fifth stage expert who was fighting against Li Han.


    A displeased look appeared on the face of Wang Quanhe but he couldn''t close off his eyes at this moment. Afterall, the idiot infront of him was a fifth stage expert of Lu family. Such weak fifth stage experts were nothing but he couldn''t ignore the person standing behind Lu familly. He would be displeased, if Lu family lost a fifth stage expert under his watch.


    Wang Quanhe suddenly took some steps back and he already pulled away a considerable distance between himself and Li Han. Zhan Chen''s eyes glowed as he observed the strange footwork that Wang Quanhe suddenly used.


    Wang Quanhe used the strang footwork again and he managed toe near the dying fifth stage expert of Lu family. He took out a pill bottle and picked a translucent looking pill from the pill bottle.


    A pained expression appeared on his face as he looked at the translucent looking pill in his hand. "A grade five pill, ah! and it will be gone like this", Wang Quanhe thought to himself but he still fed the grade five pill to the dying fifth stage expert.


    After feeding the grade five pill to the Lu family expert, he stood up and looked towards the distant crowd. "Who is it? Who dare to sneak attack in this fight?", Wang Quanhe glowered.


    He looked towards the crowd and everyone stepped back except Zhan Chen, Shen Wang and Shen Ding. With everyone retreating, the group of Zhan Chen sticked out like a soar thumb.


    "Oh! Shen n people, you dare toe back again", Wang Quanhe narrowed his eyes. His feeling of frustration converted into rage as he looked at Zhan Chen, Shen Wang and Shen Ding.


    He didn''t need to waist a life saving pill if it was not for these three people. Wang Quanhe used his strange footwork again and moved towards Zhan Chen, Shen Wang and Shen Ding. But this time Li Han managed to catch up and Wang Quanhe had to force back his impulse after Li Han started fighting.


    "Now is the time", Zhan Chen murmured lightly as his eyes became cold. The back of Shen Wang and Shen Ding were already cold with sweat but Zhan Chen had an nonchnt attitude even after he faced Wang Quanhe.


    He used the Ethereal cloud chasing steps and appeared Infront of Lu Weifang who was watching the entire fight from a distance.


    He was wearing his arrogant attitude on is face as he watched the fifth stage experts fighting it over infront of him. ording to him, all of these fifth stage experts were nothing but a ything gifted to him by his brother.


    He became cautious after seeing the flower striped sand boa but the move of Wang Quanhe made him confident again. But his rxed attitude was gone, when he noticed Zhan Chen infront of him.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes were cold as he looked at the mastermind behind the predicament of Shen Ruyan.


    "Who are you?", Lu Weifang asked.


    "Your death", Zhan Chen replied and swung his sword.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 148 Backing Of Lu Family

    "Stop", one of the fifth stage expert who remain uninjured roared out but he was alreadyte. Zhan Chen''s swordshed out like lightning and a bloodied head flew up in the air.


    "No", the fifth stage Lu family expert shouted in surprise. He couldn''t process what actually happened infront of him. Someone dare to kill their second young master! Even if it was centralnd, no one would have harmed their second young master after knowing the power behind their Lu family.


    The headless body of Lu Weifang walked few steps involuntarily. Then with a dull sound, it crashed on the bare ground.


    "Brat, you dare!", Wang Quanhe roared. His veins were already bulging. Even Li Han also frowned. He had already guessed some matters about Lu family. Now that an important member of Lu family was killed, the matter had already blown up.


    But ording to his opinion, Lu Weifang deserved it. No matter who was your backing, you dare to have an idea about the granddaughter of Shen n patriarch! How could it be tolerated.


    "Friend, how about giving me face and withdraw from the battle. With young master Weifang''s death, there is no point in fighting between us", Wang Quanhe looked at Li Han.


    "And why should I give you face? You attack when you want and you leave when you want. What do you think me, Li Han as?", Li Han replied with a cold voice as he had no nning to let go of Wang Quanhe. He knew as soon as he let Wang Quanhe slip, he would go for the head of Zhan Chen.


    Li Han thought as so but he couldn''t prevent other fifth stage experts from attacking Zhan Chen. He could only hope that other fifth stage expert of Shen n also try his best and hold the Lu family expert.


    Other people in the crowd also looking at Zhan Chen with dumbfounded gazes. Someone actually kill the second young master of Lu family! Holy God!


    "Brat, cut your head on your own. Otherwise, you don''t know what disaster you will bring to yourself and your family. You can not escape because you have killed the only brother of young lord Wentian", Wang Quanhe spoke as he looked at Zhan Chen with a cold gaze.


    "Young lord Wentian! Lu Wentian! You are from Heavenly sword sect!", Li Han eximed. A solemn expression appeared on the face of other experts after they heard the name Heavenly sword sect.


    Heavenly sword sect, one of the nine hegemons of Northern desert continent. Sword cultivators were rare but what was frightening about the Heavenly sword sect was almost every core cultivators of Heavenly sword sect was sword cultivators. Sword cultivators already had an advantage over other cultivators of same rank. Now that almost all talented sword cultivators gathered in Heavenly sword sect, one could imagine the amount of power, it held in its hand.


    "It will be troublesome", Li Han sighed as he threw a look at Zhan Chen. Shen n already had a problem with Huo n. ''Now, add another Heavenly sword sect to their trouble. It will be difficult to exin infront of various elders. s! I don''t know what can be done for Zhan Chen'', Li Han sighed as he looked at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had an unperturbed look on his face. Heavenly sword sect! Sword users! There are sword cultivators who dare stand infront of him, the sword sage!, Zhan Chen smirked inside his mind but a thought to take a look at the cultivators of Heavenly sword sect appeared inside his mind.


    "Now I should go to check Shen Ruyan. But before that I have to take care of these three fifth stage cultivators", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He took a look at the ongoing fight between the fifth stage experts. Li Han and the other fifth stage expert of Shen n trying their best to stop their opponents and as for the other Lu family expert, Lu Jingchu, he was looking at him coldly but he couldn''t move yet. So, he was trying his best to absorb medicinal effect of the fifth grade detoxifying pill.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen grinned at Lu Jingchu who was ring at him with killing intent. Then he slowly walked towards the direction of Lu Jingchu.


    "Brat, what are you grinning for. Let me heal for a while. Then I will personally cut your head and offer it to young master Wentian", Lu Jingchu spoke.


    "No need to wait for a while. You can directly take rest in hell after I am done killing you", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Killing me! Are you kidding? Just wash your neck and wait obediently. No one can save you from our Lu family", Lu Jingchu sneered.


    He tried to speed up the process of his healing but the poison of Flower striped sand boa was still persistent. His life was no longer in danger but his body was still numb from the effect of the poison. He could only watch as a mere ant prancing around him after killing their second young master.


    Lu Jingchu gritted his teeth in irritation as Zhan Chen slowly walked towards him. As for whether Zhan Chen could kill him, he wouldn''t beleive it even if Zhan Chen killed few more True essence realm cultivators. A green looking young boy could kill a fifth stage expert? ''What a joke it is!'', So, Lu Jingchu took it as a joke when Zhan Chen threteningly walked towards him.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes were calm as there was no fluctuation in his emotion. Killing a fifth stage expert was no big deal to him, so his look was surprising calm at this moment.


    When Zhan Chen reached close to Lu Jingchu, Lu Jingchu threw a look towards the crowd. Three cultivators walked out immediately after Lu Jingchu looked at them. Their families were subsidiary forces of Lu family. So, they had to protect Lu Jingchu no matter how weird Zhan Chen was. Their only concern was those Flower striped sand boas who were still hiding in shadow.


    Zhan Chen looked at them indifferently. Three Core condensation realm cultivators couldn''t stop him, no matter how they wanted to try. So, he didn''t stop at all and walked towards the three cultivators and Lu Jingchu.


    "No need to bother young master Chen. Your opponents are us", Shen Wang and Shen Ding came out as theyunched their attack towards the three Core Condensation realm experts.


    Lu Jingchu finally felt afraid for a moment. He looked towards the other spectators but none of the big family stepped out to intervene.


    "Die", Zhan Chen only said one word before stabbing his sword towards the heart of Li Jingchu. Li Jingchu was helpless. He tried his best to move his body and rolled on the ground. Still, Zhan Chen''s sword prated his left corbone.


    "Brat, stop", Wang Quanhe shouted and the other fifth stage expert of Lu family also shouted but how could Zhan Chen stop. He took out his sword and stabbed towards the


    neck of Li Jingchu with his sword.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 149 Zhan Chen, A Beast Tamer?

    "Gurgle", the sound of blood vomiting came and Lu Jingchu was already dead before anyone could do anything about it. The spectating crowd stood stunned for a moment as they looked at Zhan Chen.


    They could no longer view Zhan Chen as a tender young man. After all which young man could kill an enemy so ruthlessly and cleanly!


    "You f... brat, I am going to kill you now", the other expert of Lu family shouted as his eyes became red with anger. First, their second young master and now Lu Jingchu, their Lu family could not bear such loses.


    He fiercely collided with the fifth stage expert of Shen n and managed to got away from the Shen n expert for a moment. Then he swiftly charged towards the ce where Zhan Chen was standing.


    "Zhan Chen, run", the fifth stage expert of Shen n shouted and hurried forward to chase down the Lu n expert. Wang Qianhe also tried to throw away Li Han but Li Han was giving attention this time. No matter what, he couldn''t let Wang Quanhe got away this time.


    The fifth stage expert of Lu n moved rapidly and he approached the location of Zhan Chen within few moments. Contrary to the expectation of spectators, Zhan Chen didn''t run but he calmly waited for the fifth stage expert of Lu family to arrive. Shen n expert could only curse and hurriedly chased behind the Lu family expert to stop him from attacking Zhan Chen.


    Lu family expert swung his sabre and a yellow coloured snake lunged towards Zhan Chen. There was a glint in the eyes of the Lu family expert as he watched his attack crashed towards Zhan Chen.


    "Oh, no!", the Shen n expert could only curse as the elemental attack of the Lu family fifth stage expert crashed on the location of Zhan Chen. Stone and debris came off everywhere as the ground bear the brunt of an attack of a fifth stage expert.


    A cruel appeared on the face of the Lu family expert as he looked at the area infront of him. He was sure that Zhan Chen was dead after receiving such an attack from him.


    He was feeling self satisfied but the atmosphere seemed wrong to him. He looked at the crowd and saw them looking towards the area left to him. He followed their gazes and his eyes shrunk. Zhan Chen was standing there calmly with a mocking look on his face.


    He very much wanted to threw another attack at Zhan Chen but the fifth stage expert of Shen n was here. It didn''t take anotther moment for them to resume their fight. Zhan Chen was observing the fight between as he was searching for an opportunity to make his move. If he wanted, he could directly confront with the fifth stage expert from Lu family with his sword skill but he decided to not expose his capability for the time being.


    Zhan Chen knew there were many danger lies in the centralnd. It was a given that he was not afraid but it didn''t mean that he wasn''t cautious. His Target was to reach sixth stage quitely and by them only a handful of people could challenge him in this world.


    The fight intensified as Shen n expert was giving extra effort to injure the Lu family enemy. One of the Lu family was already taken care of by Zhan Chen. So, if he could take down another one, then their Shen n would have an overwhelming advantage over the Lu family.


    A glint appeared in Zhan Chen''s eyes while watching fight between both fifth stage experts. "Now is the time", he thought to himself and sent a mentalmand. Two flower striped sand boas were already in position and with Zhan Chen''smand they slid towards the fifth stage expert of Lu family.


    "Ahhhh!", the fifth stage expert of Lu family cried out as a sharp pain came from his leg. His attack disoriented slightly and he moved to his left to dodge the attack of the Shen n expert.


    The Lu family expert didn''t have to look to know. He knew what it was! Flower striped sand boa!<sub> </sub>


    "So, it was you!", he moved to look towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t have a problem even if others knew that he could tame some small beasts. He only looked calmly towards the Lu family expert. With the Shen n expert was still attacking, the fate of Lu family expert was set on the stone. Zhan Chen looked towards the final one of Lu family who was also thest obstacle he had to clear before he could leave to search for Shen Ruyan.


    "Don''t think it is over. Young lord Wentian will chase you down no matter when you go in this world", Wang Quanhe spoke to Li Han. Then he did an unthinkable thing. He stepped back and actually fled towards the distance!


    "You!", the Lu n expert who was holding onto his little hope that Wang Quanhe would help, looked towards his leaving direction with indignation in his eyes.


    "Interesting", Zhan Chen muttered to himself as he watched the fading figure of Wang Quanhe. Cultivators needed to be decisive if they want to keeppeteing in the world of cultivation. Zhan Chen had not seen the decisiveness of a true cultivator in the western region but now he found one who was from one of the supreme power of the centralnd.


    "There is no point in leaving a powerful enemy loose", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He activated the Cloud chasing steps and rushed towards the direction of Wang Quanhe.


    "Zhan Chen, are you nuts?", Li Han shouted from behind. He also activated his movement skill and chased behind Zhan Chen and Wang Quanhe.


    Li Han knew Zhan Chen was heaven defying but it didn''t mean he could do anything against a fifth stage peak expert like Wang Quanhe.


    Wang Quanhe was moving at his top speed but Zhan Chen managed to pull their distance close. "What a miraculous technique!", Wang Quanhe thought to himself after he stopped on his course and observed Zhan Chen for a moment. A greedy look appeared on his eyes as he observed the cloud chasing steps of Zhan Chen.


    Actually, he was not afraid of anyone, not even Li Han and the flower striped sand boas. But now, two fifth stage experts of Lu family had fallen. So, he thought it would not be wise to stay at the ce any longer.


    "Brat, you are a beast tamer right?", Wang Quanhe looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t bother to answer him as he managed to pull the distance between himself and Wang Quanhe closer.


    He looked towards Wang Quanhe and his eyes gleamed. Before Wang Quanhe could understand, an irresistible force assaulted his soul. A dazed look appeared on his face but his face returned to normal after few moments.


    "Master", Wang Quanhe was trying to bow but a cold mentalmand stopped him from bowing.


    "Turn around and flee", Zhan Chen uttered inside his mind as the silhouette of Li Han appeared behind him.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 150 Natural Formation

    By the time Li Han reached near Zhan Chen, Wang Quanhe was already gone. "Zhan Chen, are you crazy? Why are you chasing behind a peak fifth stage expert?", Li Han yelled at Zhan Chen.


    "I thought I could hold him down", Zhan Chen replied.


    "And how are you nning to do that?", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan didn''t say anything but with amand from him, two Flower striped sand boas peeked their heads and looked towards Li Han. A hint of fear appeared in the eyes of Li Han but he managed to calm down himself.


    "These things are not enough to hold him down. Moreover, he has detoxifying pills", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen with exasperation. No matter what, he couldmend Zhan Chen''s guts.


    ''Killing two fifth stage experts and chasing behind a peak fifth stage expert from Heavenly sword sect while himself being at True essence realm! Only Zhan Chen could achieve such impossible feats.'' Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen speechlessly. Even he was not confident as muchpared to Zhan Chen.


    "Forget it. That man is gone. We should focus our sight on young miss", Li Han spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply. There was no point in chasing behind Wang Quanhe anyway because he had already managed to subdue him.


    "What are you nning?", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen. With his cultivation, he should take the lead butLi Han was already convinced by Zhan Chen''s abilities.


    "First, let us check the area where your young miss wasst seen", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Han nodded his head and both of them returned to the inheritance valley where the Shen n group had gathered.


    Nie Shan and Kai Min finally managed to catch upto Zhan Chen but the battle had already ended before they coulde back. Nie Shan became dumbfounded after he heard the sequence of the battle from the other onlookers. His Nie family members were already nearby. They began to ask about Zhan Chen after they knew that Nie Shan was his acquaintance.


    A happy look appeared on the face of Kai Min after she heard Zhan Chen''s battle record. Zhan Chen asked her to wait for him as he left with Li Han and a Core Condensation realm expert from Shen n.


    After leaving the inheritance valley, Zhan Chen, Li Han and the Core condensation realm expert from Shen n didn''t encounter any other buildings. The area was strewn with wild grasses and there were some ancient looking trees all around the ce.


    What they were currently seeing was entirely different from the outer appearance of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    "Is this the wildnd you spoke of?", Li Han looked towards the core condensation realm warrior of Shen n. The Shen n expert nodded his head. He was thest person of Shen n who had followed behind Shen Ruyan when she was being chased by the Lu family expert.


    "Show me the exact location", Zhan Chen spoke. The Shen n warrior nodded his head and led both Zhan Chen and Li Han towards the deeper part of the wild lookingnd. As Zhan Chen and Li Han moved ahead, the ce became denser and the number of ancient looking trees increased in the surrounding.


    "This is the ce where I havest seen our young miss", the Core Condensation realm expert pointed towards a ce which located ahead of of them. There was nothing special about the ce but there was a hazy atmosphere surrounding the said location.


    Three of them looked ahead but no one could tell what was located inside. The ce ahead of them was covered entirely by hazy looking substances in the air. It was now possible to see the person nearby by but considering the thickness of the hazy looking substance, it would be difficult to maneuver once they traveled much deeper.<sub> </sub>


    "Let''s take a look", Li Han suggested. The Core condensation realm warrior nodded his head but Zhan Chen frowned after observing the hazy looking area for a while.


    "Wait a minute. Don''t act rashly", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Han felt puzzled but he still decided to wait for Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen covered the entire area with his soul consciousness. No matter how he looked, he couldn''t find any abnormality and that was the fact which bothered Zhan Chen. Generally, no ce would exist without a purpose in the sect. There may be wastends around the outer boundary of a sect but no one would leave a wastend in the inner part of a sect. Moreover, he couldn''t notice any formation around the entire wildnd which was not befitting to the status of a big sect.


    Zhan Chen thought hard as he observed the surrounding area. ''Big trees, hazy atmosphere.....


    "Wait, could it be a natural formation?", Zhan Chen deduced inside his mind. A solemn look appeared on his face after he made his assumption.


    Formations were generally of two types. One which was arranged by men and another was natural which was arranged by nature itself. The most terrifying aspect of natural formation was one couldn''t tell that he or she was inside a formation untill he or she had entered the formation.


    "Zhan Chen, what happened?", Li Han asked. Zhan Chen chose not to answer Li Han for now. Instead he looked at the Core condensation realm warrior of Shen n.


    "Young master Chen, what is the matter?", the core condensation realm warrior felt confused.


    "You, how did you get out of this forest?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "I just ran behind that Lu family bastard and young miss. I didn''t know how I lost them from my sight. I tried to go deeper but this wildnd grew thinner as I went forward and I came out from the wildnd. I checked again but couldn''t find young miss or that bastard from Lu family", the Core condensation realm warrior replied.


    Zhan Chen knitted his eyebrows after hearing the reply of the warrior of Shen n. "Looks like, it is a bewildering formation. One need attainment in formation to find the path to the inner location", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What! Bewildering formation? But there is no sign of any formation in our surrounding!", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion in his eyes.


    "Senior, there is no point in exining. You will naturally understand after we move deep inside", Zhan Chen replied.


    Li Han had confusion wrote all ove his face but he still followed behind Zhan Chen along with the core condensation realm warrior of Shen n.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 151 Mystery Of The Mist Forest

    Li Han didn''t had any choice other than following Zhan Chen. The core condensation realm warrior also followed behind Zhan Chen obediently.


    The mist like substance grew more thick as Zhan Chen proceeded into the deeper part of the wildnd. Initially, one could atleast see his or her nearby area but as they progressed further, the visibility reduced rmingly.


    Li Han finally started to panick. The condition now was much more serious than what he had imagined.


    ? Now, the thickness of the mist like substance was so high that Li Han couldn''t even see his own four limbs. He could barely keep up with Zhan Chen who was walking in a cofusing path since the beginning.


    "What is the point of moving so much? Can''t this brat walk on a straightforward path?", Li Han couldn''t help but grumble inside his mind. He couldn''t understand why Zhan Chen was taking so much turns in their path.


    Zhan Chen had informed Li Han about a certain natural formation. But no matter how far they traveled, Li Han couldn''t see anything but the mist like substance. It had been a long time since he was following behind Zhan Chen. With the decreasing visibility, Li Han started to lose his patience.


    "Wait, where is Shen Poyun?", Li Han suddenly rembered the Core condensation realm warrior of Shen n following behind him. He tried to located Shen Poyun with his soul sense but his attempt was futile. Li Han shived a little. Despite being a mighty peak fifth stage expert, the fear of unknown made him a little afraid.


    "Zhan Chen, wait", Li Han called out. Zhan Chen stopped on his track. He could see through the anxiety of Li Han.


    "Senior Han, what is the matter?", Zhan Chen turned to look towards Li Han.


    "Where is Shen Poyun? He seemed to be missing", Li Han asked with a slightly anxious voice.


    "Shen Poyun is already left behind by us", Zhan Chen replied calmly. He knew when they had left behind Shen Poyun but he didn''t point out because he knew it would be pointless.


    In the condition where maneuvering was difficult for even a fifth stage expert like Li Han, Shen Poyun stood no chance at all.


    The natural formation was easy to leave but difficult to enter. So, it would be better if Shen Poyun left the forest and wait for them outside.


    "What about us? Shou we go ahead or return?", Li Han asked with an uncertain tone in his voice. He was no longer sure of what to do. Time seemed to be unmoving in the forest. Li Han couldn''t even tell how much longer he was following Zhan Chen for.


    "Senior, basically this ce has no danger. So, if you want to leave I will not stop you. But, I will not return without finding out the whereabout of your young miss", Zhan Chen replied.


    Zhan Chen had a firm tone in his voice. Li Han could tell from the answer of Zhan Chen that he was determined to search for Shen Ruyan. In this case, as an elder from Shen Ruyan''s grandfather side, how could Li Han show cowardiness and back out. He suppressed his uneasy feeling and decided to follow Zhan Chen.


    Although, Li Han felt confused about one point. Why a gifted young man like Zhan Chen would choose to face unknown danger and give in all his effort to look out for Shen Ruyan.


    It was easily understandable that there was some love interest involved because there was no men who had not shown any interest for their young miss who was also one of the most beautiful girl of the centralnd.


    But it didn''t mean genius like Zhan Chen would risk their lives to protect a girl who was only an acquaintance. The more genius a person was, the more he treasured his life because only by protecting his life, he could show his brilliance infront of the world. So, the act of Zhan Chen appeared a little inconceivable to Li Han.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen went forward calmly without bothering about Li Han. Li Han also had his soul sense. So, he could follow Zhan Chen without losing his path.


    The path seemed endless but Zhan Chen knew it was only an illusion. The natural bewildering formation was not only there to produce the mist but it could also confuse the sense of anyone inside.


    The path seemed endless but Zhan Chen was sure that it definitely had a ending. Li Han was about to going mad after walking such a long distance but he shut his mouth after noticing a change in the environment.


    The thick mist reduced and finally Zhan Chen and Li Han could see an open area infront of them.


    "We are finally out", Li Han shouted. His tense nerve finally rxed as he exhaled a mouthful of air in relief.


    But Zhan Chen couldn''t rx at all. The obstruction on his soul sense was reduced. So, he could see the scene of the opennd infront of him.


    "Senior, please be alert. There may be danger ahead", Zhan Chen spoke. Then he used Ethereal cloud steps and dashed forward into the distance.


    Li Han followed behind closely and he stopped after Zhan Chen stopped on his track.


    "Oh my god! What happened here?", Li Han couldn''t help but exim in fright after seeing the area infront of him. There were skeletons littered around the area. Moreover, there were still some amount of power left inside the scattered skeletons.


    The expression on Zhan Chen''s face changed after he observed the skeletons lying around. "Emperors! Sixteen emperors died here! What happened?", Zhan Chen eximed in surprised.


    "Emperor! What emperors?", Li Han couldn''t understand what Zhan Chen was talking. Moreover, even if he was beaten to death he would not believe that the skeletons lying ahead were skeletons of mighty seventh stage experts.


    Zhan Chen moved forward cautiously as he approached the ce where the skeletons of emperors were lying. Zhan Chen observed the skeletons one by one.


    The luxurious clothes on the skeletons body remained same but their weapons seemed to be missing. Zhan Chen noticed an inconspicuous looking ring on a skeleton''s finger and his eyes gleamed.


    "I am nning to forge a space ring for myself but seems like there is no need", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He walked towards the skeleton and crouched down to remove the ring.


    Li Han also found some good stuffs on a skeleton. So, he get busy in collecting it. Zhan Chen checked the space ring with his soul consciousness and he couldn''t see through the contents of the ring.


    "There are restrictions on the ring. Seems like I have to give some effort", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He walked around and checked the skeletons one by one. He checked the whole area with his soul consciousness and found an irregrity in a ce of north direction.


    "This ce is full of puzzles. A natural formation which can obstruct even sages. Dead bodies of emperors in an open ce and finally a ce where my soul consciousness couldn''t prate", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 152 A Power Beyond The Scope Of The World

    "No matter how weird the ce seems, I have to check it out", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He left behind the corpses of emperors and walked towards the noth direction where his soul consciousness was obstructed earlier.


    Li Han on the other hand was still busy in checking the belongings of dead emperors. He had already discovered some good things. So, he was unwilling to left behind such an heavensent opportunity.


    Zhan Chen looked around after he reached the location in north. He took a look at Li Han who was skillfully checking every inch of the skeletons of emeperors. His actions were quite professional like graverobbers with years of experience. Zhan Chen''s gaze paused for a moment at Li Han. Then he shook his head with amusement.


    He took a careful look at the surrounding but couldn''t put his hand on the abnormality of the ce. He could still use his soul consciousness. So, he was not sure, whether the ce had any irregrities or not.


    The ce was as in as it could be. But the appearance of such in sights after arriving at the other end of the natural formation made Zhan Chen more suspicious. His instinct as a formation master was telling him that there was definitely something wrong about the ce.


    Zhan Chen tried his best but couldn''t discover anything. Finally, when he was thinking about leaving, a sudden force attacked his mind and soul. Zhan Chen''s eyes became dazed and he took some steps forward while being in a dazed state.


    An inconceivable incident urred. Zhan Chen''s body disappeared from the ce without any trace. When Li Han raised his head to look at Zhan Chen, Zhan Chen was already gone.


    ----------------


    "How long it has been! I can''t wait to taste some human delicacies", Zhan Chen heard a faint voice while he was still dizzy. It took him a while to open his eyes.


    It was not that he opened his eyes naturally but it was the extremely hot temperature which pushed away his dizziness.


    ''Where am I?'', Zhan Chen thought to himself when he looked at the surrounding. Here, sky seemed to have a limit. Moreover, the environment waspletely crimson in colour and extreme heat wasing from every corner of the surrounding.


    Zhan Chen was still feeling heavy in the head from the earlier dizziness. He rubbed his head lightly and pushed his body up with the help of his hands.


    His expression changed as soon as heid an eye on the surrounding. Currently, he was sitting atop a huge stone and below him,va waves were surging.


    Even though he was a sage before in his past life but the terrifyingva from the earth crust could crush his body and soulpletely. Zhan Chen observed the surrounding with a solemn expression on his face.


    "Mmmmm~", Zhan Chen suddenly heard a faint sounding from a distance. The sound was extremely faint but Zhan Chen''s heart trembled because he was extremely familiar with the voice.


    ''Ruyan!'', Zhan Chen called out as he pushed his soul consciousness to his limit. The entire picture of the underground area came to the mind of Zhan Chen.


    As long as his soul consciousness could travel, there were only bubblingva in the surrounding. Despite his attainment of his soul, he couldn''t see whaty beneath theva.


    Zhan Chen found three more enormous stones in the distance. Four ck chains hade out from the stones and they joined together at the centre of the four enormous stones.


    As for what the ck chains were binding Zhan Chen didn''t know, neither he had the time to find out because when heid his eyes on the enormous stone which lied opposite to him, his head became nk for a moment.


    "Ruyan, wake up", Zhan Chen cried out after a moment but his voice was drowned by the sound of bubblingva waves. On the stone which lied opposite to him two naked beauties were lying down.<sub> </sub>


    There were no clothes on them and both of their eyes were half closed at this moment. Faces of both of the beauties werepletely red and sweat drops wereing out of their bodies.


    It was a breathtaking scene but Zhan Chen couldn''t admire the scene at all. Because he k ew both of the beauties lying atop the stone.


    "Just what the hell is going on?", Zhan Chen roared inside his mind. ying with themselves were nothing bad but it didn''t mean that there was not a limit to it.


    Zhan Chen could see that both of them had weak life auras at this moment but still both of them were still continuing. Forget Zhan Chen, even a fool could tell that there was something wrong in the situation.


    "Human, are you confused?", suddenly a strange voice appeared inside Zhan Chen''s mind.


    "Who are you?", Zhan Chen shouted out.


    "Heh, heh heh", what an interesting human. From your expression, I can tell that you know both of the women", the strange voice replied.


    "What are you nning with Ruyan and aunt Liu?", Zhan Chen asked with a grim tone in his voice.


    "What is the point in asking me! Can''t you see for yourself! They are just enjoying themselves", the strange voice replied in a yful tone.


    "Just, who are you? Why are you doing this?", Zhan Chen asked cautiously. By now, he had already deduced the source of the strange voice. The voice wasing from the person or creature who was tied by the four ck chains.


    "There is no need to care about them. You should worry about yourself", the voice replied and as soon as his voice stopped, a heavy pressure engulfed Zhan Chen.


    "How is this possible?", Zhan Chen cried out as he could tell that what was he facing. It was the soul suppression. He felt like an ant who was facing a huge storm.


    Zhan Chen tried his best to resist but no matter how he tried, he couldn''t do anything to mitigate the mighty soul pressure.


    "There is no point in resisting. Just allow this lord to borrow your soul for a while", the strange voice spoke. Zhan Chen felt utterly helpless at this moment. He threw a look towards the stone where Shen Ruyan was lying and a feeling of despair engulfed his mind.


    "Hah..haha, just let me search what the secrets you are hiding", the strange voice spoke as a strand of his soul aura, approached the soul of Zhan Chen.


    When the owner of the strange voice was feeling mostcent, a mighty pressure came out from Zhan Chen''s body. The pressure was like a tide which easily engulfed the soul pressure of the owner of the strange voice.


    The pressure didn''t stop after it drowned the soul pressure of the owner of the strange voice but it kepting out and increased in intensity within a moment. Space started to warp around as huge waves of magma surged in response to the mighty pressureing out of Zhan Chen''s body.

 Chapter 153 An Unexpected Gain

    "Searching soul! Puny devil, who do you think you are?", a calm voice came out from Zhan Chen''s body. Then an ethereal figure floated out from Zhan Chen''s body.


    The figure was of a handsome middle aged man. He calmly looked at the centre of theve where the four chains had gathered together.


    "Show yourself", he ordered in a low voice and pointed his finger towards theva. The seemingly heavy and thick looking ck chains nked together and moved upward.


    The figure was of a pale looking young man who had pale blue hair. The ck chains was piercing all four of his limbs. Currently, his eyes were wide open as he looked at the ethereal figure of the middle aged man.


    "You are from the Northern Star region, right?", the middle aged man who came out from Zhan Chen''s body looked towards the pale looking young man.


    "How did you know?", the pale looking young man blurted out as he looked towards the middle aged man with disbelief.


    The ethereal looking middle aged man didn''t answer him but he turned to look back. Zhan Chen was opening his eyes at this moment.


    ? He stood up and bowed towards the middle aged man. "Teacher", Zhan Chen bowed respectfully towards the middle aged man.


    It was the second time he was seeing this teacher of his. The very first time he could only estimate the power of his teacher but now his teacher, the evil emperor was directly using his power to suppress the owner of the strange voice.


    The evil emperor nodded lightly towards Zhan Chen and turned to look towards the pale looking young man. "I have never thought that someone of your kind woulde to such a low level world", Evil emperor spoke to the middle aged man.


    "Senior, please save me. My royal family will surelypensate you for your benevolence", the pale looking young man looked towards evil emperor with begging eyes.


    "What is the point in saving you. It is better to extract your soul and leave the trouble behind", evil emperor smirked towards the pale looking young man.


    Then he moved his hand towards the pale looking young man and clenched his fist. "Brat be prepared, it is an opportunity for you", evil emperor turned to look towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked towards the pale looking young man. The pale looking young man had an astounded expression on his face.


    "Senior, why are you...!", he couldn''tplete his sentence before thin strands of illusory soul essence came out from his body. Evil emperor turned to look towards Zhan Chen and the soul strands of the pale looking young man, directly entered the body of Zhan Chen.


    "Such pure soul essence!", Zhan Chen muttered before hurriedly closing his eyes to digest the soul essence of the pale looking young man.


    It took two hours for him topletely absorb the soul essence. Evil emperor was also assisting him. Otherwise, if Zhan Chen would have to assimte the soul essence of the pale looking young man on his own, then he would have taken at least two days.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes after absorbing the soul essence of the pale looking young man. His aura became more deep and profound after he assimted the soul essence of the pale looking young man.


    Zhan Chen had many things to ask to his teacher but before it, he took a nce towards the stone where Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi was lying.


    "Don''t worry. I have suppressed the yin poison inside their bodies for the time being", evil emperor gave aforting smile to Zhan Chen.


    "What, yin poison! Is it the blue haired man from before?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "At least you are not dumb. Yes, it is that blue haired man from earlier", evil emperor nodded.


    "What is his identity? How can he exert such a strong pressure on my soul?", Zhan Chen looked towards evil emperor. This was the question that was bothering him most.


    Zhan Chen had never thought that someone could overwhelm him in this world when it came to soul pressure but the earlier incident gave him a huge shock. He had retained the soul of his previous life but despite that he couldn''t even put up a resistance when the soul aura of the pale looking young man engulfed him.


    "Have you ever hear of devils and demons?", evil emperor looked towards Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    "Yes, I have heard about them in legends", Zhan Chen replied.


    "This young man infront of us belongs to devil race. Moreover, he is from a royal family of devils", evil emperor exined.


    "What, devil race! Moreover, I have just assimted the soul essence of a royal devil!", Zhan Chen looked towards his teacher with disbelief in his eyes. Before, he had only heard of demons and devils in old records of past. Among them, the most dangerous race for the humans were described as devil race. Zhan Chen had always read about how cruel and bloodthirsty the devil race was but now, he had taken the soul essence of someone from that legendary race. So, it was obvious that he had lost hisposure for a moment.


    "Brat, what is with your reaction. You are the disciple of I, Ning Yunhao. It wouldn''t be a surprise even if you took down the soul of a golden dragon", evil emperor chided Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen ft speechless for a moment. Golden dragon was the most revered amongst dragons of entire world. Zhan Chen could only shook his head after hearing the overbearing words of his teacher.


    Brat, why do you cultivate? Why do you take the path of the dual cultivation in the first ce?", evil emperor asked Zhan Chen. His indifferent face had a serious look at this moment.


    "For power of course", Zhan Chen thought for a moment and replied. Evil emperor nodded his head.


    "Then why do you need the power for? What do you pursue in your path of cultivation?", evil emperor asked again.


    This time Zhan Chen didn''t answer instantly but he took time to think to himself. The question his teacher was asking the most important for a cultivator and Zhan Chen knew his teacher was guiding him about the path of cultivation.


    ''Why I do I need power? Is it only to take revenge? No, I always dream of higher peaks. To challenge the world with my soul and move unhindered across the world'',Zhan Chen couldn''t help but recalled his past aspirations along with his present him.


    Something felt like got unshackled at this point as Zhan Chen sort things inside his mind. "Teacher I want to challenge the world with my sword and want to roam unhindered in the vast world", Zhan Chen looked towards evil emperor. At this moment, there was resolve and confidence in his eyes.


    Evil emperor nodded his head. "It is good that, you managed to sort things out. Never ever lost your edge and becamecent. Your heart had became rusty in this life because you had strayed from your path for a moment", evil emperor spoke. Zhan Chen listened attentively what evil emperor had to speak.


    "My path, I have achieved the most of my goals. To gather beauties wherever I go and to live life however I love", evil emperor spoke.


    "But my path is not your path. Moreover, you can see for yourself how dismissal your record is. So much time has passed but you have dual cultivated with only eight girls", evil emperor shook his head.


    Zhan Chen felt speechless after seeing his teacher''s reaction. He wanted to say that I have already eight women but he could only surrender infront of the unrealistic demand of his almighty teacher.


    "Continue to dual cultivate. You can follow my cultivation techniques but never lose your independent path. Your path, no need to doubt yourself. Don''t give up on your sword which you love the most.


    As for moving the world unhindered, that is the desire of every true cultivator."


    "Why do we cultivate? Of course it is to be free. Free from the earth, free from the heaven, to live your life as you like", evil emperor spoke.


    "And to be free one need to be strong. Because only strong get to choose how he lives. Otherwise, forget about living, you can''t even decide how you die in your life", evil emperor spoke.


    "So, never ever lose your heart. Always pursue to be stronger and cultivate ceaselessly. With your talent, one day you can even surpass me if you remain persistent in your cultivation path", evil emperor looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Thank you teacher for your guidance. Disciple will remember your words and cultivate properly", Zhan Chen replied and bowed towards evil emperor.


    Evil emperor nodded his head and vanished from Zhan Chen''s sight. A soft murmur rang in Zhan Chen''s head. "This time I have really done it. I may not be able to awaken in the next ten years probably".


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 154 Leaving The Underground Place

    Zhan Chen shook his head after seeing his teacher leaving abruptly. He still had many questions to ask like the origin of the blue haired devil but now he had to figure out these things on his own. "Forget it. I will think about itter", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen", suddenly a voice disturbed Zhan Chen''s train of thoughts. It was Shen Ruyan. Two drops of tear were trickling down from her phoenix like eyes.


    Liu Nanxi didn''t ask anything. She tried to cover Shen Ruyan''s privates although she was only in her undergarments. Zhan Chen''s heart shook as he saw Shen Ruyan like this. In these many days, he had never seen Shen Ruyan so fragile.


    Shen Ruyan was always strong despite the fact that she was facing problem in her cultivation. From her current state, Zhan Chen could only imagine about how traumatic her experience was.


    "Ruyan, don''t cry. I am here", Zhan Chen hurriedly moved towards Shen Ruyan. He crouched down and embraced Shen Ruyan. She put her hands around the back of Zhan Chen and cried her heart out. Zhan Chen couldn''t see her face but the sound of sobbing and his drenched shoulders were witness of her pain and tear.


    Zhan Chen clenched his hands tightly. He never wanted to face such a helpless situation in his life. As for Shen Ruyan, he could understand her pain. Dignity was everything for a proud woman like her. And to be seen by another man other than her man was a thing, she couldn''t ept. In this case, she would rather ept death rather than being humliated like this.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t help but recall a line from the words of his teacher. Evil emperor said that if you were not strong then foreget about living, then you can''t even choose how you die. The situation around Zhan Chen had a close semnce with evil emperor ''s line.


    "Strength", Zhan Chen clenched his hand tightly. He looked towards Liu Nanxi and she was surprisingly quite but Zhan Chen knew her pain was not less than what Shen Ruyan was feeling.


    "Ruyan, I am sorry. I couldn''t protect you. I am still weak", Zhan Chen spoke as he held Shen Ruyan firmly in his arm. Shen Ruyan''s body shuddered slightly but she still didn''t let go of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt a sting in his eyes after seeing the condition of Shen Ruyan. But he knew it was not the time to give in to emotion because Shen Ruyan''s body started to be cold while he was holding her in his embrace.


    Zhan Chen threw a look at Liu Nanxi. She was trying to look indifferent but her cheeks had a touch of redness on the surface. Zhan Chen knew yin poison had started to act up. So, he should hurry.


    "No matter what it is, don''t be worried. I can clear the yin poison. Let''s leave this ce first", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi. Liu Nanxi nodded her head in response.


    Zhan Chen didn''t wait for Shen Ruyan''s response. He injected his essence energy inside the teleportation circle and a faint light came out from the big stone.


    The teleportation formation took them directly to the ce where Zhan Chen had vanished. Zhan Chen guided both Shen Ruyan andiu Nanxi out of the concealed formations of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    Zhan Chen threw a nce towards a ce nearby. Li Han had yet to leave the ce.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing Li Han still waiting for him outside. "I have not judged him wrongly", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, you found young miss!", Li Han asked in a surprised voice. Despite the shock in his heart, he chose to ignore the snuggling part of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan.


    "Senior, I will exin youter. Please leave the ce first. Your young miss and aunt Nanxi were poisoned. I can cure them but I need a little privacy while curing them", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Han.


    "What, both of them were poisoned?", Li Han asked with a grim voice. Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    Li Han looked towards both Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi and then nodded his head. "Well then, go ahead. Do your best in curing young miss. Shen n will be thankful to you for your help", Li Han spoke. Then he turned around and walked towards the mist forest.<sub> </sub>


    Liu Nanxi couldn''t hold herself anymore. Same was for Shen Ruyan. Despite her unwillingness, her hand was already around the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    This time both Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi were notpletely senseless. They could feel what was happening with their bodies but their minds were still not at their control.


    "Aunt Liu, what are you doing?", Zhan Chen suddenly looked towards Liu Nanxi. Shen Ruyan also tried his best to get a hint of rity in her mind and looked towards Liu Nanxi.


    Liu Nanxi had a small knife in her hand. She was going to take her life but Zhan Chen''s timely intervention managed to disturb her n.


    "Aunt, why?", Shen Ruyan started to cry once again. Liu Nanxi tried her best to look at Shen Ruyan and seeing the sad face of Shen Ruyan, she decided to give up on her thought of suiside. She couldn''t resist any more as the me of lust overwhelmed her mind.


    Shen Ruyan didn''t try to resist the yin poison any more as she leave everything on Zhan Chen''s hands.


    Zhan Chen supported her body and made her lie on the ground. Shen Ruyan ced one hand on her secret ce and her other hand reached towards one of her peaks.


    "What a sinister poison!", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He removed Shen Ruyan''s clothes and ced her body on top of her clothes. Then he took down his own pant and knelt beside Shen Ruyan.


    He didn''t have any time to waste as he rubbed his dragon on the secret entrance of Shen Ruyan and then entered her with a single thrust.


    ''Ahhhh~''


    ''Mmmm~''


    ''Ahhhhhh~'', the soul stirring moans of Shen Ruyan came out as Zhan Chen continued to ram his waist with the thighs of Shen Ruyan.


    The cherries on the top of her peaks stood erect. Zhan Chen leaned down and took a taste of her peaks while his dragon was doing his best in exploring the secret garden of Shen Ruyan.


    "Mmmmm~", Shen Ruyan continued to let out soul stirring moans as Zhan Chen pounded her cave without any intent to stop. It took half an hour of fierce battle before Zhan Chen let out his yang essence inside the secret garden of Shen Ruyan.


    If it was any other men of this world then Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi could only wait for their deaths but Zhan Chen was different. His yang essence was the purest and it was natural counter of anything rted to yin nature.


    Shen Ruyan managed to gain a rity of her mind after Zhan Chen''s Yang essence flooded her cave. She didn''t look towards Zhan Chen on her first nce. Her major concern was Liu Nanxi at this moment.


    "Zhan Chen, can you please save aunt Liu. Consider this as I am begging you", Shen Ruyan held the hands of Zhan Chen.


    "Ruyan, stop. No need to do this. I will help her out", Zhan Chen hurriedly promised Shen Ruyan. He let her rest for a while he turnedhis head to look towards Liu Nanxi.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 155 Shamelessness Is The Only Way

    Zhan Chen took a deep breath and turned to look towards the direction of Liu Nanxi. ''Saving her!'', Zhan Chen took a look at the body of Liu Nanxi.


    "Her condition is worst than I think", Zhan Chen murmured after checking Li Nanxi''s body with his soul consciousness. Zhan Chen felt the hand of Shen Ruyan tightening around his palm and she had an imploring look on her face.


    "No need to worry. I will not let her die", Zhan Chen spoke softly to Shen Ruyan. He gave a kiss on Shen Ruyan''s lips and walked towards the location of Liu Nanxi.


    Liu Nanxi was doing her best to satisfy herself but one could see that she was tiring herself to death by looking at her pale face. Her life would be in danger if she was left to do so t herself.


    "Aunt Liu, there is no need to me yourself. Situation is already like this. I will take the responsibility for everything", Zhan Chen spoke softly infront of Liu Nanxi. He didn''t know whether Liu Nanxi was listening but her body could not wait any longer.


    Zhan Chen removed her clothes and he couldn''t peel his eyes from the body of Liu Nanxi.


    Her face was not bad but there was nothing special either but her body was an epitome of women''s body.


    Zhan Chen gulped lightly as he looked at the body of Liu Nanxi. Her assets were full to extreme and Zhan Chen couldn''t move away his eyes even after gazing at her for few moments.


    ''Who could have thought that such things would be hidden underneath her robe'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.Then he parted Liu Nanxi''s thighs and ced his dragon near the entrace of her cave.


    He rubbed his dragon on the entrance of Liu Nanxi for few times. Then he held both of her thighs and entered with a deep stroke.


    A drop of tear came out from Liu Nanxi''s eyes. Zhan Chen didn''t know whether it was for pain or for other reason. Few drops of blood trickled down on Zhan Chen''s shaft as it made his shaft red.


    "I have never thought that Liu Nanxi would be a virgin till date", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He hurriedly massaged some of her nerves and made her body rxed. Then he started to move his hips slowly.


    Aft


    er pounding her slowly for some time, Zhan Chen leaned over and grabbed one of her tall peaks. "Wow, so fluffy", Zhan Chen murmured as he kneaded the huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s. of Liu Nanxi.


    "Aanh~", Liu Nanxi started to moan as Zhan Chen started to increase his speed. His dragon started to feel more pleasure as Liu Nanxi''s cave was still tight like a young maiden.


    Zhan Chen felt like he was in heaven when he moved his dragon inside the tight cave of Liu Nanxi. Her cave was dripping with water which made Zhan Chen''s dragon more excited.


    Liu Nanxi couldn''t hold herself much longer as she released her yin water after few minutes. Zhan Chen turned her over and entered her from behind. Shen Ruyan''s face becamepletely red after seeing how horny Zhan Chen was being.


    "Is he like those of mature types?", Shen Ruyan thought to herself. But no matter what she thought, even she could only sigh in admire after seeing the assets of Liu Nanxi. One could only imagine how amazing the assets of Liu Nanxi were that even Shen Ruyan with her gifted beauty need to praise Liu Nanxi''s body.


    Zhan Chen naturally feel more excited as he pounded Liu Nanxi from behind. Her bottom was perky and it was sending ripples across her bottom with each thrust of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen grabbed both of her half moons and thrusted his dragon with all his might. Her bottom was squeezing his dragon hard which made Zhan Chen''s experience more heavenly.


    Zhan Chen pounded Liu Nanxi more than half an hour straight away. He released heronly after depositing his yang essence inside the secret cave of Liu Nanxi.<sub> </sub>


    It took few moments for Liu Nanxi to gain rity on her mind. She threw a look at Zhan Chen and her eyes became indifferent.


    "Are you okay?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi. Liu Nanxi ignored Zhan Chen''s question altogether but her gaze became slightly tender as she threw a look towards Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan had tear in her eyes as she looked towards Liu Nanxi.


    "Go over to young miss first. Yin poison had yet to fed awaypletely", Liu Nanxi spoke.


    "I know. Take a little rest. I wille over after dealing with Ruyan", Zhan Chen spoke. Liu Nanxi didn''t say anything but she didn''t deny either.


    Zhan Chen sighed and went towards the direction of Shen Ruyan. Yin poison had yet to go awaypletely. Infact, even with all the efforts from Zhan Chen, there were still a huge amount bof potent poison left inside the body of Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi.


    Zhan Chen knew it would take more sessions of dual cultivation to neutralize the yin poisonpletely. From the words of evil emperor, Zhan Chen had a little clue on the origin of the blue haired devil.


    Zhan Chen could tell that the blue haired devil hade from the world outside and his cultivation was more stronger than the sage realm. So, it was no wonder that a poison from him would take a longer time to go away.


    Shen Ruyan parted her legs slightly as she invited Zhan Chen to dual cultivate but her eyes were on Liu Nanxi who was walking away to a distance.


    "Give her some space. She will be alright after some time", Zhan Chen spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen gave a kiss on her lips. Then, he inserted his dragon inside the secret cave of Shen Ruyan.


    "Ahnnn~", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen started to thrust his dragon inside the cave of Shen Ruyan. Zhan Chen squeezed the peaks of Shen Ruyan and continued to pound Shen Ruyan but suddenly his expression changed.


    "Shit! This woman is crazy", Zhan Chen couldn''t help but curse as he vanished from his spot. Shen Ruyan didn''t know what happened as Zhan Chen left her hanging while water was dripping out from her cave.


    Liu Nanxi was holding the small knife in her hand and she had already cut open a small wound from her nose to cheek. A wave of soul pressure came out from the body of Zhan Chen and it made Liu Nanxipletely immobile.


    "Liu Nanxi, what do you think you are doing?", Zhan Chen yelled. At this moment, he had no time for seeing what Liu Nanxi was feeling. She could attack him or try to kill him and that was the thing, he would easily ept. But trying to disfigure herself, Zhan Chen felt mad for a moment.


    It was as if he had willing bullied her. If today''s situation not happened, them Zhan Chen wouldn''t have taken a look at Liu Nanxi, no matter how amazing she were. No one knew, what heaven was nning for men! Situation forced him and Liu Nanxi to have a union.


    p So, Zhan Chen immediately got mad after seeing what Liu Nanxi was doing. He she over to her location and took the knife from her hand and three it away. Then he red at Liu Nanxi angrily.</anda>


    Liu Nanxi recovered her calm after Zhan Chen withdrew his soul pressure. "Why are you feeling angry? This is the exact reason why I am trying to disfigure my face", Liu Nanxi looked towards Zhan Chen calmly.


    "Liu Nanxi, what is wrong with you? Can''t I even feel angry at you?", Zhan Chen yelled.


    "I don''t need your possessiveness for me. You have only taken my body. It was only flesh attraction. You can''t possibly have feeling for a old woman like me. So, why should I face your possessiveness which was not of love but only love for my flesh. So, your nonexisting emotion for me will go away if I disfigure myself. Moreover, I don''t want any awakeardness between young miss and myself", Liu Nanxi spoke calmly.


    Zhan Chen clenched his hand tightly but he rxed his hand after a moment. Then he pulled Liu Nanxi closer and directly sealed her mouth with his lips.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 156 Removing The Yin Poison

    "Mm....", Liu Nanxi tried to resist but Zhan Chen became more agressive to counter her resistance. Liu Nanxi had to stop her struggle as Zhan Chen''s hands started to roam around her body.


    More than half of yin poison was still inside her body. It started to act up after Zhan Chen groped her peaks and the twin half moons of her bottom .


    A long and passionate kiss went on between Zhan Chen and Liu Nanxi. Liu Nanxi was passive most of the time but it didn''t stop Zhan Chen from tasting the sweet nectar of her mouth.


    Zhan Chen let her go only after she started to show the signs of suffocation. Liu Nanxi gasped for air after the long kiss between Zhan Chen and herself stopped.


    Liu Nanxi red at Zhan Chen with an angry look on her face. As expected, she couldn''t remain indifferent after Zhan Chen willfully take advantage of her. Her beautiful cheeks had turned red from anger at this point.


    "Zhan Chen, why are you being so shameless?", Liu Nanxi looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "If being shameless can stop you, then I don''t mind being shameless", Zhan Chen replied.


    "You", Liu Nanxi felt speechless for a moment. She was at a lose after hearing Zhan Chen''s reply.


    "You think you can stop me if you do this to me", Liu Nanxi looked towards Zhan Chen.


    She was always stubborn and proud. So, she couldn''t put herself in lower ground infront of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was looking at Liu Nanxi and she was also staring at him. Their stalemate continued for some moments.


    "Pak!", suddenly a solid pnded on the bottom of Liu Nanxi.


    "You", Liu Nanxi be so angered that her huge peaks started to tremble with her hurried breathing.


    "Go ahead and try to do whatever you want. But trust me, you will think better than harming yourself", Zhan Chen spoke. Then he threw a meaningful nce at Liu Nanxi. Liu Nanxi took a step back after seeing the look on the face of Zhan Chen.


    "What are you trying to do?", Liu Nanxi asked with a cautious tone in his voice. Zhan Chen had no clothes on the bottom of his body and his spear looked as menacing as ever. It was no wonder that Liu Nanxi would be nervous.


    "What am I trying to do!", Zhan Chen grinned towards Liu Nanxi. Then he walked towards Liu Nanxi and pulled her body into his embrace. He leaned over towards her ear and spoke, "Just watch patiently. If you dare harm yourself, then I will do this whenever we meet. Beleive me, I will do this more often if you dare disfigure yourself", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What are you....?", Liu Nanxi wanted to ask but Zhan Chen sealed her mouth with his lips. This time he squeezed her peaks agressively and kneaded her bottom with both of his hands.


    "Nnnnng~", a light moan came out from Liu Nanxi''s mouth as she felt hot all over her body. Zhan Chen undressed her while kissing and put a finger at the entrance of her secret garden.


    Her dam was already at the bursting point. With a light rub of Zhan Chen''s finger, her floodgate opened. Streams of yin water started toe out and it dripped on Zhan Chen''s finger.


    "It is not a good thing to waste such a huge amount of yin essence", Zhan Chen murmured. He knelt down and raised one of her legs. Then he ced his mouth on the entrance of her cave.


    "Ahhhhn~", Liu Nanxi moaned as she felt the touch of Zhan Chen''s mouth on her secret garden.


    "Zhan Chen, let go. This ce is dirty", Liu Nanxi spoke as she tried to pull out the face of Zhan Chen. But her action made Zhan Chen more excited. His tongue went deep inside her cave as he tried his best to explore the secret garden of Liu Nanxi.


    "Ahhhhh~


    Mmmm~", Liu Nanxi moaned as Zhan Chen continued to please her with his tongue. After sometime, when her cave became watery once again, Zhan Chen let her go.<sub> </sub>


    "Wait for me. I have to go. I have left Ruyan while we are at the middle of doing it", Zhan Chen said in a soft voice near the ear of Liu Nanxi.


    "But before that....", Zhan Chen spoke with an evil grin and grabbed one of her massive peaks.


    "Ahhhh~", Liu Nanxi cried out as Zhan Chen bit down on one of her peaks before zooming towards the distant direction.


    Liu Nanxi looked towards the direction of Zhan Chen and an absent minded look appeared on her face. "What is he even thinking?", she murmured to herself after some time.


    Shen Ruyan red at Zhan Chen after seeing himing from the distance. "What a pervert!", she murmured to herself as she saw Zhan Chen running around without wearing anything to cover his bottom.


    Zhan Chen didn''t mind Shen Ruyan''s words. It was not that he was a pervert but he had no time to wear his clothes while taking care of Liu Nanxi.


    "Where have you gone?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Ruyan, I am sorry. I have to go because there is no other option. Your aunt was trying to disfigure her face", Zhan Chen replied.


    "What happened?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen with a worried look on her face. Zhan Chen exined the course of matter to Shen Ruyan and she calmed down after hearing the entire matter from Zhan Chen.


    "You are indeed shameless", Shen Ruyan nodded his head after she heard how Zhan Chen dealt with her aunt.


    "Do you have a problem with it?", Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ruyan with a grin on his face.


    "No, I like it", Shen Ruyan replied. Both of their eyes met and both could see the emotion for each other in both of their eyes.


    Dresses were gone and a tumultuous war took ce between both of them. This time, it took more than half an hour before Zhan Chen could release his yang essence inside the cave of Shen Ruyan.


    Zhan Chen left Shen Ruyan to rest and he went towards the direction of Liu Nanxi.


    -------------


    "What takes you so much time?", Li Han asked Zhan Chen.


    "The poison is strong. So, it is natural that it requires a much longer time", Zhan Chen replied calmly.


    "Young miss, are you okay?", the experts of Shen n looked towards Shen Ruyan with concern. Shen Ruyan nodded her and all of them sighed in relief.


    "Thanks God, young miss is okay. Otherwise, I can''t imagine what will happen to us, once we go back to the n", Experts of Shen n murmured to themselves.


    Liu Nanxi was back to her usual self and no one asked her anything because they were aware of her personality. Zhan Chen threw a look towards her and she looked away. Zhan Chen smiled and turned to look towards others because he didn''t want to put Liu Nanxi in an awkward condition.


    Zhan Chen looked around and didn''t find any of his girls in the Shen n group. Even some of the Shen n experts were missing. Zhan Chen asked around and learned that all of them had gone to the ancestoral pce of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.

 Chapter 157 Improvement In Strength

    "Zhan Chen, are you going to the ancestoral place of Cleansing Incense ancient sect?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, but that has to wait. Let me cultivate awhile first", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Well then. We can go after you finish your cultivation", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and walked towards a nearby ce. He was indeed in a hurry to cultivate. There were huge changes in his soul after he absorbed the soul essence of the blue haired devil.


    Moreover, Liu Nanxi was a fifth stage expert and she still had her primordial yin energy intact. Zhan Chen didn''t want to waste the opportunity as he started to absorb the yin energy that he had absorbed from Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi.


    He operated the Celestial yin yang sutra and the divine yin Yang diagram on his dantian lit up. Pure streams of true essence energy started to came out from the divine yin Yang diagram.


    Before today''s incident in mist forest, Zhan Chen was at second stage of Core condensation realm. Now, with the support of primordial yin essence of Liu Nanxi, his cultivation started to increase steadily.


    ''Third stage of Core condensation realm.....''


    ''Fourth stage of Core condensation realm.....''


    ''Fifth stage of Core Condensation realm.....'', Zhan Chen''s cultivation finally stopped at peak fifth stage of Core condensation realm.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes slowly. A deep and profound look appeared on his eyes before his expression turned normal in an instant.


    Li Han who was observing Zhan Chen for a while, shuddered slightly after noticing the deep and profound look on the face of Zhan Chen. Although Zhan Chen''s expression turned normal in an instant, it left a standing impression inside the mind of Li Han.


    Li Han knew Zhan Chen was mysterious and abnormaly talented but he still saw him as a junior. Afterall no matter how talented Zhan Chen was, he couldn''t possibly match the cultivation level of his own which was at peak of Martial ascension realm.


    But now, after seeing the earlier look on Zhan Chen''s face, Li Han doubted himself. The earlier impression that Zhan Chen had gave to him was of an invincible expert. Even with his peak fifth stage cultivation, he felt a sense of trepidation in his heart. Such a sense only ured to him when he faced those unfathomable seniors of his Shen n.


    But those seniors of Shen n were king tire cultivators. Moreover, none of them were young as all of them were old monsters of previous generations. So, Li Han couldn''t understand why he felt such a familiar feeling of opperessiveness from Zhan Chen.


    "Congrattion!", the voice of Shen Ruyan came. Zhan Chen turned his head and looked towards the ce where Shen Ruyan was resting.


    "Thanks, young miss", Zhan Chen smiled towards Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan blushed lightly but he hurriedly adjusted her appearance before anyone could notice her expression.


    ''How shameless! He still keeps calling me young miss after all of these happened between us'', Shen Ruyan snorted inside her mind and looked away.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chenughed lightly and didn''t look towards Shen Ruyan anymore. There was a reason why he was still maintaining an appearance infront of Shen family cultivators. There was too much stakes involved regarding Shen Ruyan. So, Zhan Chen was not in a hurry to publicize their rtionship. Moreover, he didn''t want to put Shen Ruyan in a difficult position.


    "Young master Chen, shall we leave?", Zhen Wang asked. Zhan Chenlooked towards Zhen Wang and nodded his head. Ever since, he had caught Zhen Wang and Shen Rou in action, his rtionship with Zhen Wang was growing better with time.


    The other cultivators also felt excited as they looked towards Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan didn''t have any reason to stall for time. So, shemanded all of them to go towards the ancestoral pce of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    Zhan Chen followed the group of Shen n to the ce of the ancestoral pce. He was walking slowly behind the group of Shen n and all of his focus was on the state of his soul.


    "How is this possible!", Zhan Chen cried out with excitement.


    "What is the matter?", Zhen Wang stopped to look towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is nothing", Zhan Chen spoke and behaved like nothing happened. Zhen Wang threw another look towards Zhan Chen and then continued to follow the group of his fellow n brothers.


    No matter how calm Zhan Chen was, he lost hisposure at this moment. He was feeling really happy. The gift of his teacher was really wonderous.


    ''The peak of sage realm! My soul is really at the peak of sage realm", Zhan Chen looked at his soul with disbelief in his eyes. After double checking that he was not seeing things, Zhan Chen became assured that his soul had really reached the peak of sage realm after he absorbed the soul essence of the blue haired devil.


    A huge grin appeared on his face as he walked behind the group of Shen n experts. The peak of sage realm could be considered as the epitome of this cultivation world. Although, Zhan Chen''s cultivation was still at fourth stage, he had managed to reach the peak of cultivation in terms of soul cultivation.


    Zhan Chen wondered ''how lucky he is at this moment''. A hopeless situation turned into a great blessing and what was expected to be an unavoidable cmity turned to be a please surprise for Zhan Chen. His teacher had appeared and subdued the devil. The soul essence of the blue haired devil became his and he unexpectedly reached the peak in terms of soul cultivation.


    Zhan Chen took some time to calm downpletely. To enable him to reach the peak of sage realm, the soul of the blue haired devil needed to be at a higher level. But how is possible for a cultivator to reach higher level than sage realm?


    Afterall, sage realm was the limit of this world. From this, Zhan Chen became sure of the origin of the the blue haired devil.


    The blue haired devil hade from higher world. That immortal realm of legends where powerful cultivators gathered for supremacy.


    ''But is not it said that cultivators of that realm can''t decend to a lower world like us? Then, how is it possible for that blue haired devil to be here in our world?'', Zhan Chen wondered inside his mind.


    "We have arrived at the ancestoral palce", a clear shout from a Shen n cultivator brought Zhan Chen from his reverie. He looked around and an old looking three storied pce appeared Infront of his eyes.


    (To be continued...)

 Chapter 158 Aiming For The Inheritance

    "What a marvel!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after he checked the simple looking three storied ancestoral pce of Cleansing Incense ancient sect with his soul consciousness.


    No one was looking at Zhan Chen at this moment. So, none of the Shen n experts noticed the change in expression of his face.


    Zhan Chen followed after Shen n experts and entered the ancestoral pce of Cleansing Incense ancient sect. The surrounding inside the ground floor was morous as most of the cultivators from different ces had gathered here.


    "Look, Is not it that group who killed the experts of Lu family!", one cultivator pointed out.


    "Shh!, do you want to die?", another cultivator hurriedly stopped hispanion who was pointing at the Shen n experts.


    The cultivatator who was pointing at Shen n experts didn''t understand what was going on but he stopped himself after he faced the angry res of hispanions.


    Shen n experts noticed those smallmotions but they ignored the surprised look of other cultivators. They followed after Shen Ruyan and walked towards a corner.


    "Wu Yan, do you want to die?", the cultivator who stopped hispanion from pointing at Shen n experts looked towards hispanion furiously.


    The cultivator named Wu Yan was at a loss after looking at the angry looking faces of hispanions.


    "Everyone, what is wrong?", Wu Yan looked towards hispanions with a confused look on his face. Apanion of his came forward and muttered something in the ears of Wu Yan.


    "They do not fear Lu family. Moreover, I have heard that none of the Lu family experts and the other experts who were helping them are spared. What do you think will happen to you if you anger them by chance", thepanion of Wu Yan muttered.


    The face of Wu Yan changed after he heard the muttering of hispanion and he looked towards the Shen n group with a fearful look on his face.


    ----------------


    No one dare bother the Shen n group with their ferocious reputation. All of them followed behind Shen Ruyan and gathered at an empty corner of ground floor. Li Han threw a look and the nearby cultivators hurriedly scattered to give some space to the Shen n experts.


    Zhan Chen noticed some gazes at him from the crowd and most of them were present while he was battling the Lu family experts. A young man who was not yet eighteen, capable of battling fifth stage experts, it was definitely a huge news for the uing Grand sectpetition.


    Zhan Chen didn''t mind the sneaky looks of other experts at him. He was currently scanning the entire ground floor with his soul consciousness.


    "Fortunately, there is no sixth stage experts", Zhan Chen sighed in relief and withdrew his soul consciousness. Despite his recovered soul strength, he was not yet ready to face those sixth stage experts.


    His body had it''s limit and it couldn''t handle anything above peak fifth stage soul force. ''I have to practice a body cultivation technique immediately after we leave this ce'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The ground floor of the ancestoral pce was rtivelyrge and there was nothing out of ordinary except the peculiar paintings across the hall.


    Zhan Chen had already scanned the entire ground floor but couldn''t find any of his women inside the entire ground floor. "This ancestoral pce is full of ancient formations. Looks like all of them has managed to get an inheritance for themselves", Zhan Chen mused to himself.


    He was in no hurry to check the paintings hung on the wall. So, he stood quitely with the Shen n experts.


    It didn''t take time for the Shen n experts to gather the information about the ground floor. Shen Ruyan listened to all the details from Shen n experts and turned to look towards Zhan Chen.


    "Seems like there is no danger in the ground floor", Shen Ruyan spoke. "It seems so", Zhan Chen nodded his head.<sub> </sub>


    "Everyone, scatter. It will be your fortune if you manage to get an inheritance for yourself", Shen Ruyan spoke. The Shen n experts bowed lightly towards Shen Ruyan and left towards the different direction of the ground floor.


    Zhan Chen smiled towards Shen Ruyan and left towards a random direction. He had already checked all the paintings with his soul consciousness. There was not a single painting which had piqued his interest.


    But no matter whether he interested or not, Zhan Chen knew he had a choose a painting for himself. Because without choosing a painting, he couldn''t ascend the other two floors of the ancestoral pce.


    He had already observed the ground floor of ancestoral building in details. Every nook and corner of the building was filled with traces of ancient formations.


    He could identify some of the inscribed formations but there were many other formations that he had not seen in his previous life.


    "To find the true inheritance of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect, I must find a painting rted to formation technique", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen threw a look towards Shen Ruyan who was walking with Liu Nanxi. Liu Nanxi still had her cold face on and walking behind Shen Ruyan as if she was Shen Ruyan''s shadow.


    Both Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi had curious looking faces as they examined the ancient paintings one by one. Zhan Chen''s soul consciousness lingered on both of them for a while. Then he walkedtowards the western part of the ground floor.


    The crowd was sparse in the western end of the ground floorpared to the other directions of the floor. The reason was simple. It was due to the techniques described in the paintings of the western wall were tooplex for the most of the cultivators.


    The paintings were for everyone to see but it didn''t mean that anyone could observe the true technique described in the paining. It was only those talented cultivators who had an affinity with the technique could earn an opportunity to learn the depicted technique.


    When a cultivator found an painting which he had an affinity with, he was transported to an unknown location along with the said painting. Zhan Chen found this process magical and he became more determined to learn the formation techniques of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    The paintings of the western wall wereprised of formation techniques and tailsman techniques. Zhan Chen was interested to learn both tailsman technique and formation technique but his knowledge about the art of tailsman making was limited.


    So, he reluctantly gave up on tailsman techniques and turned his eyes towards formation paintings.


    "Earth guardian formation"


    "Five element tribtion formation"


    "Nine thunder annihtion formation"


    "Sky bewildering formation"


    Zhan Chen identified some of the formations on the paintings but there were also paintings about which he didn''t have any single clue.


    To receive the true inheritance, he must prove his ability. Zhan Chen was aware of this fact. So, he decided to choose at least a higher grade formation.


    There were so many formation techniques inscribed on the paintings Of the wall. But, Zhan Chen knew that if he choose any random average formation, then there was the possibility that he may not be choosen for the true inheritance of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 159 Comprehension

    Zhan Chen was most proficient in five element tribtion formation because he had already arranged it in the Zhan family estate back in his home town.


    But, five element tribtion formation couldn''t be considered as a top grade formation technique. So, Zhan Chen decided to skip it as he searched for an ideal formation technique for himself.


    <o>,m Zhan Chen scanned through the difference paintings hung on the wall. His eyes lit up as he saw a painting which was hung at the corner most positio of the wall.</o>


    "Eight trigram ughter formation", Zhan Chen recognised the formation technique immediately. He was somewhat familiar with this formation as it could be considered as one of the mostplex formation, he hade across in his life.


    Zhan Chen had a solid grasp on this technique. So, he looked no further and pushed his soul consciousness towards the painting where he found the Eight trigram ughter formation technique.


    After sinking his soul consciousness into the painting, Zhan Chen found the painting moving. Silhouette of a blurry figure became clear in the painting and the blurry figure started to talk about the Eight trigram ughter formation technique.


    "Heaven''s way is obscure. Earth''s poweres from its vastness. What could be seen is earth and what is present yet invisible is heaven. Comprehend the heaven and earth and draw the line of eight trigram. Connect the sky with earth, draw upon the power of heavenly wind and thunder. With the great mountain as the foundation take the sea as the base. Water and fire be one and the divine formation known as eight trigram".


    Zhan Chen''s mind became entranced as he heard the blurry figure describe the Eight trigram ughter formation technique. He didn''t resist when the teleportation formation activated.


    Zhan Chen didn''t mind the new ce as he thought upon the words of the blurry figure. As a cultivator himself, he was aware that, he couldn''t afford to keep distracted at this moment.


    The words of the blurry figure echoed inside his mind and Zhan Chen gradually became submerged in the words about the Eight trigram ughter formation.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know when he forgot about his surrounding as the only thought inside his mind was the words of the blurry figure. Time went past yet Zhan Chen sat in his ce like a stone statue.


    .


    .


    .


    "To think a mere eighteen year old brat can enter the state of thoughtlessness! How enviable. Moreover, I can''t look through his cultivation level", an indistinct mumer was heard in the ce where Zhan Chen was meditating.


    Theprehension of all the other cultivators were over after they spent the time of seven to eight hours. Cultivators who were teleported to receive the inheritance started to appear one after another.


    Li Shu and Li Yan were the first to reappear in the ground floor of ancestoral pce. Other talented cultivators who had found resonance with the inheritance started to reappear one after another.


    When Shen Ruyan came out, the ground floor was bursting with noise.


    "Young miss", the Shen n experts called out excitedly after seeing Shen Ruyan reappearing in the ground floor.


    Shen Ruyan nodded at the Shen n experts and turned her head to look around. All of theirpanions were present except Liu Nanxi, Su''er and Ling''er.


    "Where are these two mischievous girls?", Shen Ruyan thought to herself.<sub> </sub>


    It was a long day and too many incidents had happened. Shen Ruyan felt tired by now and she was missing both of the bubbly girls by her side.


    "Look, elder Liu Nanxi has appeared", one of the Shen n warrior pointed towards the distance. Shen Ruyan turned her head and found Liu Nanxi in a distance.


    She was still adjusting her bearing after the teleportation. It took only some moments for Liu Nanxi to return back to her cold self.


    "Aunt, wee back. Congrattion for receiving an ancient inheritance", Shen Ruyan greeted Liu Nanxi.


    "Same goes for young miss. You have also managed to find a suitable inheritance for yourself. Patriarch will be proud if he learns about it", Liu Nanxi replied while scanning the other cultivators present in the ground floor.


    An absent minded look appeared in her cold face as she scanned the entire crowd. "Where is he?", she subconsciously murmured after not seeing Zhan Chen among the crowd of cultivators.


    "Wait, Zhan Chen! I am thinking I am missing something important and now I know what I am missing. It is Zhan Chen!", Shen Ruyan face palmed herself.


    "Where is that shameless fellow? He has vanished along with both Su''er and Ling''er", Shen Ruyan thought to herself. Liu Nanxi noticed Shen Ruyan ''s gaze on her aftering out of her momentary absent minded condition. She blushed lightly after seeing Shen Ruyan looking at her.


    "To think aunt would blush. How rare! That shameless fellow really has his tricks", Shen Ruyan thought to herself with a smile. She looked away with a smile on her face so as to not cause any awakeardness for Liu Nanxi.


    It was already past mid night by the time thest cultivator reappeared in the ground floor. The Shen n group waited patiently as time started to flew past hour after hour.


    The golden rays of sun shined upon the ancestoral pce of Cleansing Incense ancient sect and along with arrival of new day, a irresistible force fell upon the cultivators.


    Before anyone knew what was happening, all the cultivators were already out of the ancestoral pce.


    "What happened?", Kai Min rubbed her eyes and looked towards Li Shu and Li Yan. She was just dozing off after waiting for so long but yet something unexpected happened and she was already out of the ancestoral pce of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    Kai Min looked towards Li Shu and Li Yan for answer but none of them had answer for her. Both of them wore same expression on their faces like her and it was same for the warriors of the Shen n.


    The sudden expulsion came as a surprise to everyone present inside the ground floor of ancestoral pce.


    "Looks like the ancestoral pce of this ancient sect haspleted its objective. So, it forcefully expelled the cultivators out of its premise", Liu Nanxi analyzed calmly.


    "Probably. But it is really shocking to find out that such a sect existed just four hundred years back. Just from the teleportation formations alone, one could imagine how shocking the true power of such an ancient sect", Shen Ruyanmented.


    "Young miss, young master Chen and both of your maids still has note out. What should we do now?", a warrior of Shen n asked.


    "We wait", Shen Ruyan replied calmly.


    (To be continued...)

 Chapter 160 Memory Manipulation

    "You are finally awake", Zhan Chen heard a voice when he opened his eyes. He turned around to see the person who was speaking yet he didn''t found anyone in the ce.


    "Who is talking?", Zhan Chen asked in a cautious voice as he scanned the entire ce with his soul consciousness.


    "No need to look for me. I am here", a voice came out of thin air and a person appeared Infront of Zhan Chen out of thin air.


    The person was wearing an ancient looking robe and he had long white beard which was floating in the wind. The eyes of the ancient looking person was deep and Zhan Chen could only tell one word ''unfathomable '' after seeing the person infront of him.


    "Brat, you are indeed full of surprises. Your cultivation is nothing great but your soul is already strong to such an extent", the ancient looking person spoke while looking at Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, my power is meagre infront of your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke politely. He showed a polite appearance but inside, he stayed cautious. The appearance of such an unfathomable expert was outside his expectation.


    "No need to act cautious infront of me. You have alreadyprehended eight trigram ughter formation. So, you are already a choosen inheritor of my master", the ancient looking person spoke calmly.


    "Senior, may I inquire about your master?", Zhan Chen looked towards the ancient looking person.


    "Be assure. I will answer all of your questions but before that let me send away two little girls. They have remained long enough", the ancient looking person spoke.


    .


    .


    .


    <o>,m .</o>


    "Senior Mo, I am going then", Zhan Chen looked towards the ancient looking person with long beard. He had already finished a long conversation with the ancient looking person and his gain was plenty. So, now he wanted to leave the ancestoral pce of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    "Remember to protect yourself in any condition. My Cleaning incense ancient sect will not emerge unless you find a sessor for us. I leave everything on your shoulders", the ancient looking person spoke. Then, he waved his hand and Zhan Chen''s figure vanished from the second floor of the ancestoral pce.


    The ancient looking person looked towards the direction where he sent Zhan Chen. His gaze was deep as his gaze crossed through the walls and fell upon Zhan Chen who was sent some distance away from the ancestoral pce.


    "Good bye, youngster. It is nice to have a chat with you", the ancient looking person murmured as his figure started to blur.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and found the group of Shen n some distance away.


    "Looks like they are waiting for me", Zhan Chen smiled and walked towards the direction of Shen n group.


    There were too many things he had learned from his covesation with senior Mo but his most prized finding was still the Eight trigram ughter formation.


    It would be best to call it, Eight trigram nine pce divine formation rather than calling it Eight trigram ughter formation. What Zhan Chen had learned from the painting was only one part of the entire formation. It was only after talking with senior Mo that he managed to learn the entire formation.


    As for the background of Cleansing Incense ancient sect, it''s true root lied in the upper world. It was probably two thousand years ago when a mighty figure of upper world lost a battle to his bitter enemy. He got killed but his weapon spirit managed to get away with some strands of his soul.<sub> </sub>


    The weapon spirit was senior Mo and his master, the founding ancestor of Cleansing Incense ancient sect, passed away after leaving behind his life time of knowledge in the third floor of ancestoral pce.


    Since then, the weapon spirit was protecting the inheritance of his master and imparting the knowledge of his master to suitable candidates. Some inheritors managed to be powerful and it was them who built a sect around the ancestoral hall. This was how Cleansing Incense ancient sect came into being.


    Zhan Chen learned the truth but he had no intention to share it with anyone. As for who got the final inheritance? Zhan Chen decided to feign ignorance about it.


    He was aware that the appearance of Cleansing Incense ancient sect would surely bring a storm in the entire Northern desert continent. The cultivators would spread the words about the wonders of Cleansing Incense ancient sect and many would search for the final inheritor.


    Zhan Chen didn''t want to be the centre of this uing spiral rted to the Cleaning incense ancient sect. The weapon spirit was aware about such possibilities. So, he didn''t send Zhan Chen to the group of Shen n right away.


    "Looks like I have to find someone who will suport my execuses", Zhan Chen thought to himself. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and a group of two cultivators got his attention.


    "My father will beat me if he knows that I do not get a single thing from this trip", a chubby looking cultivation told to hispanion.


    "Brother, I am also same. I thought I will find something good and impress Ziuer but look at my damned luck", hispanion said with a bitter look on his face.


    Zhan Chen found thebination of two funny and found their conversation interesting.


    "These two brothers, may I ask something?", Zhan Chen spoke from a distance. The two cultivators stopped after hearing Zhan Chen''s voice.


    They turned to look towards Zhan Chen but their eyes became nk as they stood there like two wooden statues.


    ''It will be my first time to use something like memory maniption. Let''s see how will it go'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He tried to separate an extremely thin strand of his soul but he felt to do so in his first try. He tried for a second time but he still failed.


    ''After reading it, I thought it will be easy when I try but now...'', Zhan Chen shook his head.


    Despite his failure, he didn''t give up and tried further. ording to the soul codex, if the separated soul strand was not extremely thin then it would leave a trace of the casters presence in their soul.


    It wouldn''t be a problem if the manipted person didn''t came by a peak expert but if he or she came in contact with a peak expert, then the expert would find some irregrity in the soul of the manipted person. That would lead to further problems for the caster. Zhan Chen didn''t want such things to happen. So, he tried to make the technique as much perfect as it could be.


    "Finally, a sess", Zhan Chen muttered to himself after several attempt. An extremely thin strand of his soul was now separated. Zhan Chen imprinted some false memories of inside the soul strand and send it towards the soul of the chubby cultivator.


    His second attempt in memory insertion was less difficult as he sessfully sent a soul strand into the soul of the chubby cultivator''spanion.


    "Brother Chen, what happened to us?", the chubby cultivation asked after he opened his eyes. Zhan Chen sighed in relief after hearing the question of the chubby cultivation.


    "Fortunately, the memory maniption is a sess.''


    ''Now, it will be easy to exin the matters to the Shen n cultivators'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 161 Fire Marquis

    "Nothing, you guys just got distracted while we are walking", Zhan Chen replied to the chubby looking cultivator.


    "Oh, that is what happened!", the chubby cultivator nodded his head and then with his otherpanion, Zhan Chen walked towards the group of Shen n cultivators.


    "Look, it is young master Chen", Li Shu spotted Zhan Chen and yelled out excitedly.


    "Why young master Chen ising from that direction? Is not he supposed to be inside the ancestoral pce?", one of the Shen n expert spoke in a confused voice. His otherpanions also turned to look towards Zhan Chen who wasing with another two cultivators.


    "Wow! How beautiful", the Chubby looking cultivator became awestruck after seeing Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and others.


    "Brother Chen, these are thepanies you are talking about?", the chubby looking cultivator looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile as he turned to look at his girls. Li Shu, Kai Min, Su''er and Ling''er seemed to be excited after seeing Zhan Chen looking at them.


    "But you have never told me that you are traveling with such beauties", the chubby looking cultivator looked towards Zhan Chen with a ming look on his face.


    Zhan Chen felt like he had done a mistake after seeing the expressions of the chubby cultivator and hispanion.


    "Young master, you have returned", Ling''er hoped towards Zhan Chen and spoke with an excited tone in her voice. Zhan Chen couldn''t help but smile after seeing her lovely expression.


    "Everyone, we are waiting for Zhan Chen and he is here already. Now, we should leave immediately before anything unexpected happens", Li Han spoke. The other of Shen n nodded their head and togeth with the chubby cultivator and his thin lookingpanion, they left towards the entrance of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    Once a group came out of the barrier of the inner area, they couldn''t enter the inner area of Cleansing Incense ancient sect once again. This was yet anotherrge scale formation that managed to impress the cultivators present.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have to exin anything. The Chubby looking cultivator and hispanion were proved themselves as chatterboxes as they spoke how they had met Zhan Chen while he was meditating. Then, together with Zhan Chen, both of them searched for the group of Shen n cultivators.


    Amongst the Shen n cultivators, Li Han had his doubt as he had already witnessed the extraordinary means of Zhan Chen. But other cultivators seemed to be convinced as they heard the narratives of chubby looking cultivator and hispanion.


    Soon, the focus of their conversation shifted from Zhan Chen to the Scarlet moon city.


    Both the chubby cultivator and hispanion were natives of Scarlet moon city. So, the Shen n experts chatted with them to gather more information about the Scarlet moon city.


    There was a huge crowd of cultivators gathered outside the entrance of Cleansing Incense ancient sect. Many had came out from distant cities after hearing the news about the appearance of an ancient sect.


    The Cleaning incense ancient sect could have remain opened for few more days if there was no Zhan Chen. The weapon spirit had to expend a lot of resources to keep open the Cleansing Insense ancient sect. Now that, he had found Zhan Chen, he had no intention to keep wasting the resources.


    The entrance was closed after the midnight and now only exit was possible from the inside of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.


    The Shen n cultivators gathered near an exit channel and they were teleported back to the teleportation hall from where they had entered the Cleaning incense ancient sect.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness towards the distant and a frown appeared on his face after he saw the situation outside.<sub> </sub>


    There were no shortage of experts who were waiting outside Cleaning incense ancient sect. Fifth stage experts were almost thirty and as for sixth stage expert, there were six of them who were observing the barriers of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    The most troublesome among them was an expert who was riding a ferocious looking beast. He was standing on his magical beast with a golden spear on his hand. There were a huge groups of ck armoured warriors who were standing behind him orderly.


    Zhan Chen followed behind the Shen n experts as he continued to watch over the gathered experts. He knew there would be too much problem, if a war had to broke out here. Moreover, there was no one in the Shen n group who could resist a sixth stage expert.


    "Fire marquis", Li Han called out in surprise as he noticed the expert who was riding a ferocious beast as a mount.


    "What a ferocious beast!", Li Shu eximed as she looked at the huge body of the magical beast.


    "That is a wyrm. Moreover, it is a wyrm of peak fifth rank which can cause trouble for sixth stage experts", a Shen n warrior exined to the group of girls as everyone of the group became more tacitrun.


    "We should not move in such a huge group. It is better to make smaller groups and mix in with the crowd", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Han nodded his head grimly as he looked towards the other Shen n expets. They had yet to leave the premises of Cleansing Incense ancient sect but they had already seen the fire marquis who was riding his fifth rank wyrm. No one knew how much experts had gathered outside. If they move in such a huge group, then they would obviously attract the attention of the crowd. So, everyone agreed with Zhan Chen''s suggestion.


    "There is no need topletely separate from each other. Stay in the visible range of each other and gather after maintaining some distance from this ce", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The Shen n warriors nodded their heads subconsciously as if there was nothing strange about hearing the order of a sixteen year young cultivator.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know that he was releasing the aura of an emperor at this moment. He was trying to act normal but there was still the presence of his past life which would never fade away.


    He was the imperial prince of mighty Zhan dynasty and there was nothing strange about ordering a group of fourth stage and fifth stage experts. His presence was the reason that the Shen n warriors had submitted to him subconsciously. Even they were not aware that their hearts were affected, including Li Han.


    Zhan Chen followed after the group of Su''er and Ling''er but he was observing the situation of entire Shen n group with his soul consciousness.


    "Young master, what kind of inheritance have you got from the ancestoral pce?", Su''er looked towards Zhan Chen curiosly.


    "What, are you interested in learning the technique I have got?", Zhan Chen smiled towards Su''er.


    "No, I am just curious. Besides that we have got something interesting that may help young master", Su''er spoke.


    "Oh, what is it?", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er with interest.


    "Actually, we are told not to reveal it infront of everyone. But we can''t hide anything from young master and young miss", Su''er spoke. Ling''er nodded her head from the side.


    "Hmm, then it most be a good thing", Zhan Chen spoke as he looked towards both of the girls with interest.


    (To be continued.....)

 Chapter 162 Concern Of Liu Nanxi

    "Come out", Ling''er spoke softly and clenched her fist. Su''er also clenched her hand and two blue coloured beads appeared in both of their hands.


    "Young master, here is it", both of the girls stretched their hands towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen couldn''t see any reluctance in both of their eyes as they handed over the two blue coloured beads to him.


    Zhan Chen observed the beads for a moment. Then he pushed them back towards both of the girls.


    "Keep these beads with you for now. I will take a clear look at the beads after we leave this ce", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Both of the girls nodded their heads and put away their beads. Zhan Chen took a nce towards everyone of the Shen n with his soul consciousness. After making sure that everyone was safe, he led both of the girls towards the distance.


    The three of them were already out of the sight of crowd when Zhan Chen stopped and turned to look at a distant direction.


    A glint appeared in his eyes as he looked at the distant direction with a prating gaze. "Young master, what happened?", Su''er looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Some rats are trying to sneak behind your young miss", Zhan Chen replied to Su''er.


    "Is not senior Nanxi with young miss?", Su''er asked with a confused expression on her face.


    "She is not able to locate them. Those rats are using some sort of concealing technique to hide their auras", Zhan Chen exined.


    "Then how can young master locate them? Are you using those tamed snakes of yours?", Su''er looked towards Zhan Chen with curiosity.


    Zhan Chen shook his head and stayed silent. He didn''t want to fool Su''er. Yet, he couldn''t describe the exact circumstances about his soul consciousness. So, he chose to remain silent.


    Su''er was smasrt. So, she didn''t ask another question to bother Zhan Chen.


    -----------


    "Elder Wu, should not we first notify young master about it?", a middle aged man turned to look at the robust old man by his side.


    "Huo Yihu, don''t be impatient. There are sixth stage experts here. Especially, fire marquis. If we use transmission tailsman, then it will definitely attract attention", the old man replied.


    The middle aged man nodded his head and followed behind Shen Ruyan along with the robust looking old man. It didn''t take long for Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi toe out of the crowdy area.


    "We are already far from the crowd. We should look for our n members now", Shen Ruyan spoke. Liu Nanxi nodded her head after hearing the words of Shen Ruyan.


    Both of them were talking to eachother. But they didn''t notice a pair of two cultivators were following behind them.


    "It should be safe now. Use the transmission tailsman", the robust old man looked towards his middle agedpanion.


    The middle aged cultivator nodded his head and took out a yellow coloured paper. He was just going to channel his essence energy into the paper when he felt a sudden impact on his soul. Before, he could know what was going on, his eyes went nk.


    "Not so fast", the voice of Zhan Chen came from a distance. Before the robust looking old man could process what was going on, Zhan Chen had already reached the location of two.


    Zhan Chen took the yellow coloured paper from the middle aged man and threw a look at it.


    "An earth grade transmission tailsman", Zhan Chen lightlymented after seeing the tailsman paper on his hand.<sub> </sub>


    "Who are you?", the robust looking old man who was thepanion of middle aged man asked in a cautious tone.


    "A peak fifth stage cultivator and a peak fourth stage cultivator who was approaching the fifth stage. Tell me, where have youe from?", Zhan Chen asked without replying the robust looking old man.


    "What do you want? And what have you done to Huo Yihu?", the robust looking old man looked towards Zhan Chen warily. The person infront of him seemed to be a youngster but he couldn''t see through him. So, the robust looking old man became more wary and cautious.


    "Huo surname? Looks like I have to do a soul search", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He threw a look at the robust looking old man and before the robust looking old man could do anything, a strand of Zhan Chen''s soul entered his body.


    A frown appeared on the face of Zhan Chen while he was looking through the memories of fifth stage cultivator. It took him only some moments to glean through all the information rted to Huo n and Shen Ruyan.


    "Huo Baixing, Huo Chunyang? I will make sure to send both of you to hell when we meet. As for now, I will take care of Huo Baixing, the little devil of Huo n", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    Zhan Chen let go of both of the cultivators after a while. He didn''t choose to kill them as they were more valuable when alive. As for the chance of betrayal, there was no question. Because not even sages can dissolve his nted ve seals.


    "Young master, where have you gone?", Ling''er asked as soon as Zhan Chen came back. He had not told anything while leaving. So, both Su''er and she were worried about him.


    "It is just a minor thing. Your young miss hase out already. Let''s go", Zhan Chen spoke after rubbing the head of Ling''er.


    -----------


    "What! Huo n?", Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi eximed in surprised after Zhan Chen told them about the two cultivators of Huo n.


    "Are you sure?", Liu Nanxi asked with a tensed voice.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head. Liu Nanxi stayed silent for a moment. Then, she turned to look towards Zhan Chen.


    "We must prepare for the battle. But you can''t participate", Liu Nanxi spoke with a firm tone in her voice.


    Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment after listening the denial of Liu Nanxi. He looked towards Shen Ruyan with confusion.


    Shen Ruyan sighed after seeing the look on Zhan Chen''s face. She knew it was hard to keep Zhan Chen out of this mess.


    The fight between the warrior of two ns is not a joke. We have our falcon guards but it does not mean we can definitely fight them. The Huo n hase means they are prepared. Moreover, they most have a clear understanding of our forces", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    "It is already dangerous because they must have sent peak fifth stage elders of their n to contain elder Li Han. But if for some reason, they have sent one of their guardian elders, then.....", Shen Ruyan didn''tplete her sentence but her worrying look tell everything what she wanted to say.


    "You are telling me not to participate because it will be hopeless, right?", Zhan Chen turned to look towards Liu Nanxi.


    Liu Nanxi tried to act indifferent but her worried eyes made everything clear. Zhan Chen felt sweet in his heart after seeing how concerned Liu Nanxi was for him. After seeing the arrival of battle, she was first thinking about how to make him safe.


    "I know what you think but you wouldn''t have doubted me if you know the extent of my prowcess", Zhan Chen spoke to Liu Nanxi.


    (To be continued....)

 Chapter 163 Nirvana Grade Tailsman

    Zhan Chen looked towards both Liu Nanxi and Shen Ruyan. A mighty aura came from him and swept towards both of the girls.


    It was the mighty aura of a peak realm sage. Liu Nanxi and Shen Ruyan shivered as soon as both of them felt the mighty aura that Zhan Chen had released. Their bodies got paralyzed as their thought process halted due to the pressure from the mighty aura.


    Zhan Chen withdrew his aura within few moments. Afterall, his goal was not to scare his women. He only wanted to let them know that how capable he was.


    "Zhan Chen, you...! That aura....!", Liu Nanxi stuttered while looking towards Zhan Chen.


    "Now, you do not have any problem if I join the battle, right?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi. Liu Nanxi looked towards Zhan Chen with her beautiful eyes and stayed silent. Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing her reaction.


    "Zhan Chen, tell me the truth? You can''t use your full power, right?", Shen Ruyan asked from the side.


    "How can you tell?", Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ruyan with surprise. This woman of his was getting clever day by day. Even he felt stupified after seeing her intelligence at disy.


    "Have you forgot you told me something while concocting the pill in Firecloud treasure pavilion?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply. He recalled that he had revealed to her about there was no teacher helping him in alchemy. He was relying on his past life memories. That''s why he could concoct a profound grade pill.


    "But how can you tell that I can''t use my full power yet?", Zhan Chen looked towards Shen Ruyan with a questioning gaze. Shen Ruyan smiled mysteriously and stayed silent.


    Zhan Chen felt frustrated after seeing her yful nature. His only wish now was to take this yful vixen here and now. But that was not possible considering the situation.


    "Heh..hehe", a melodiousughter came from Shen Ruyan after seeing the frustrated look on Zhan Chen''s face. She could guess what he was thinking. But that only made her more amused.


    Liu Nanxi looking at the two from their side. It had been years since she had seen the yful nature of Shen Ruyan. After seeing her past self, Liu Nanxi felt that Zhan Chen was really a worthy match for her young miss. As for herself, she was d if she could watch him from a far distance.


    Zhan Chen smiled smiled at Liu Nanxi after seeing her looking at him. The Shen n experts didn''t take much time to gather as all of them gathered within half an hour. All of their faces turned grave after they heard the new about enemies.


    "Elder Han, what should we do?", the Shen n experts looked towards Li Han. Li Han had a simr grave expression on his face after he heard the news of Huo n experts.


    "They havee prepared", Li Hanmented with a grave tone in his face.


    "How about fleeing with young miss? You can go with senior Liu and young miss? As for us we will stay back and buy as much time as we could?", a peak Core Condensation realm warrior who was fiercely loyal to Shen Ruyan''s grandfather spoke.


    "Uncle Qian, that wouldn''t do. It will only make the trip more difficult. Don''t forget we still have to cross over Shredded mountain range. That is where the real danger lies", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    Miss, you will be safe if you leave with ender Han and elder Liu. As for us, we will try to escape while diverting their attention", the Shen n expert spoke.<sub> </sub>


    "I can understand your thoughts but what you are nning is not a feasible one. You think you can stop Shen n Martial ascension realm experts with your mere Core Condensation realm cultivation! How stupid you are?", Li Han rebuked from the side.


    "No need to argue anymore. We will face the enemy togather. As for now, I am nning to use this one to inform patriarch", Li Han spoke and took out a violet coloured tailsman paper. Small runes could be seen packed inside the violet coloured tailsman paper.


    "A Nirvana grade transmission tailsman", Zhan Chen murmured after seeing the tailsman in the hand of Li Han.


    "Elder, you are nning to use such a precious tailsman?", Shen Ruyan''s expression changed after seeing the tailsman in the hand of Li Han.


    p The number of tailsman masters were dwindling in the Norther desert continent and now, there was no one alive who could make Nirvana grade tailsman anymore. The highest one could find was taisman grandmasters who could make earth gradetailsmans. From these things one could imagine how precious a Nirvana grade tailsman was.</anda>


    "No need to say anything. I know what to do. No matter how precious a treasure is nothing is more important than your life. I am confident that patriarch willpensate me after learning the matter", Li Han spoke. He uses a strand of his essence energy and the violet taisman lit up.


    Li Han spoke his message for help and the violet coloured tailsman disintegrated after he finished saying his message.


    "The matter is now known to elder hall", Li Han spoke. Other experts also nodded their heads as they fell silent. No one knew what to do in these kind of situation.


    The entire centralnd knew the nature of Huo n second young master. He would stopped at nothing once he decided to act. Now that he was probably in the Shredded mountain province, the situation was grim for sure.


    "We are not going to Scarlet moon city. Everyone can take rest in the wilderness. We will start to travel towards Shredded mountain range once we get enough rest", Li Han spoke.


    The Shen n experts nodded their heads as no one had any other solution to this problem. They could only act as Li Han spoke and prey that their group do not cross path with the mad man of Huo n.


    There was one person who was probably most rxed now. Everyone was worrying about fifth stage experts that Huo n had probably dispatched but he was thinking about how to take care of a sixth stage expert if they choose to interfere in the matter.


    -------


    "Young master, what are you thinking?", Su''er and Ling''er approached Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was sitting alone after their group travel to the wilderness nearby. In fact Zhan Chen was not sitting idly, he was scanning the nearby area and trying to see if he could find any fifth tier magical beasts.


    "It is nothing. Tell me, what do you guyse here for", Zhan Chen looked towards Su"?''er and Ling''er. He could tell they were here for something after seeing their expressions.


    Su''er and Ling''er didn''t say anything but they only handed over the blue coloured beads to Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, please check and tell us if you manage to learn any technique", Su''er spoke. Ling''er nodded his head and both of the girls left after handing over the blue beads to Zhan Chen.


    Till now, he had not found any fifth tier magical beasts in the nearby area. So, he decided to put the matter of finding magical beasts behind and check the blue beads that Su''er and Ling''er got from the ancestoral pce of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.

 Chapter 164 Appearance Of Enemies

    Zhan Chen sent his soul consciousness to the beads one by one. The result left him baffled as he couldn''t probe the beads with his soul consciousness.


    "What is going on?", a perplexed expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face. He tried one more time but result was same.


    "Looks like I have to ask these two little girls. These beads seems like some extraordinary treasures", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He put away the beads and returned to his earlier goal of searching for fifth tier magical beasts.


    This time, Zhan Chen didn''t search in the vicinity of Shen n experts. He used the wind chasing steps, the second stage of his Ethereal cloud chasing technique.


    After scouring the entire with his mighty soul consciousness, she finally found the trace of a fifth tier magical beast.


    To his disappointment, it was a monster ape. Zhan Chen begrudgingly used the ve seal on it. What he was truly looking for was some sort of tiny fifth stage creatures who could sneak on sixth stage experts but things always didn''t go in the same way that you wanted.


    Zhan Chen instructed the monster ape to hide away as he looked for other magical beasts. As for why he was still wary of sixth stage experts after gaining the soul strength of a mighty sage, the answer was pretty simple.


    The use of his soul would put stress on his body which was still at Core Condensation realm. If it was some early level sixth stage expert, then he could manage but if a mid level orte level sixth stage expert came, them his body would get a huge shock if he used his soul might. The aftermath of using his soul might would paralyze his body. It may even rupture his meridians and inner organs, if he try to confront a peak sixth stage expert.


    "Zhan Chen, what are you doing?", the voice of Li Han came. Zhan Chen had already discovered him with his soul consciousness. So, he was not surprised that Li Han caught upto him.


    "I am looking for some fourth tire beasts. The tinier they are, the more useful they will be", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Let me help you", Li Han spoke.


    -------------


    "Look around. Not a single Shen n expert should get away this time", a handsome looking youth spoke coldly.


    "Protector Qian, you stay with me. As for others, disperse and search for the Shen n experts", the young man ordered.


    "Young master Bai, what if Shen n retaliated?", protector Qian looked towards the second young master of Huo n, Huo Baixing.


    "What are you being worried form. With the state Shen n is in now, they can''t afford to fight with another supreme power at this moment", Huo Baixing spoke.


    Protector Qian nodded his head and stayed silent. Huo Baixing took a look at his back but there seemed to be no one there. But an evil smile crept into the face of Huo Baixing after he threw a look at his back.


    "Elder Tao, please catch that bitch in a single attack befor she could get away. I will see how will she escape big brother this time", Huo Baixing spoke without turning his head.


    There seemed to be no one around Huo Baixing except protector Qian but a voice came from the thin air after Huo Baixing spoke. "Young master, don''t have to worry".


    -----------


    Zhan Chen found the arrival of Huo n experts from his soul link with Huo Yihu and the peak fifth stage expert named elder Wu.


    A smile crept into his face after he looked through the information about enemies.


    "I first have to send away Li Han. It would be no fun if he is there to obstruct me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Li Han didn''t understand why Zhan Chen was sending him away. But Zhan Chen send him away in the guise of Shen Ruyan''s safety. He also instructed him to led the group of Shen n towards the opposite direction of enemies.<sub> </sub>


    As for the enemies who were searching for Shen n experts, they had to face Zhan Chen who had already taken out his sword ''Devour''.


    Zhan Chen could sense a hint of excitementing from the sword. He was helpless about the nature of sword Devour. But it was a fact that he loved this sword of his present life and he wouldn''t abandon it even if it was an evil weapon who absorb blood and soul of enemies.


    Two Huo n experts were looking carefully around their surrounding as they searched for the Shen n experts. They were holding their weapons in their hands and walking slowly towards the inner areas of the wilderness.


    The n of Huo Baixing was simple. He let his Huo n experts disperse around his surrounding and he himself walked in the middle with protector Qian and that mysterious elder who was hiding himself.


    It was a three pronged approach that Huo Baixing thought full proof but the problem was that Zhan Chen had already learned about his n.


    Two Huo n experts who were walking forward suddenly felt a mighty soul sense invading his body. Their bodies shuddered and before they could do anything, their eyes became nk.


    "Puchi", a soft sound came when Zhan Chen pierced the heart of one of the Huo n experts with his sword. Another soft sound followed and the shriveled body of two Huo n experts fell to the ground.


    Zhan Chen used his soul fire and it took only a moment before the two bodies turned into nothingness.


    Zhan Chen knew what Huo Baixing was relying on. It was the mysterious expert that was following him from behind.


    But what was mysterious to a peak fifth stage expert was a child''s y infront of Zhan Chen. He had already found out the cultivation level of that expert who was following Huo Baixing.


    "Fortunately, He is only at second stage of Heavenly tribtion realm", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    He chose another target and followed after them. The result was same. Another two Huo n experts lost their lives without even learning how.


    All these time, Zhan Chen was picking the enemies who were outside the soul consciousness reach of their sixth stage expert. Thus, Huo Baixing was unaware of their deaths even after six of them had died.


    "Something is wrong", finally the sixth stage expert found an anomaly. Zhan Chen was expecting this. So, he ordered the fierce ape to act.


    "Elder Tao, what is the problem?", Huo Baixing asked.


    Suddenly, battle sound came from a distance and the attention of Huo Baixing moved towards that region. Zhan Chen chose this moment to act and charged towards another two cultivators of Huo n.


    "Who are you?", one of the Huo n expert asked warily as Zhan Chen inexplicably showed himself infront of them.


    "You don''t have to know", Zhan Chen replied. A mighty aura approached both of the Huo n experts as Zhan Chen used his soul consciousness on both of them.


    "You!....", The Huo n expert couldn''t evenplete his sentence when Zhan Chen plunged his sword into his chest. His body shriveled in a visible speed and within moments, all of his vitality gone. Zhan Chen felt that his sword was feeling cheerful due to the sumptuous meal he had prepared for it.


    Zhan Chen made a slice on the neck of other cultivator and threw soul fire towards their bodies. After incinerating their bodies, he made a quick dash and vanished from the spot.


    "The life auras of both of them are still present here. But they are gone", the sixth stage cultivator of Huo n looked around and murmured to himself.


    Huo Baixing caught upto him after few moments. Other warriors of the Huo n also gathered in the ce where Zhan Chenst killed two of their Huo n cultivators.


    A grim look appeared on each of their faces as they saw the visible decrease in their ranks.


    "We lost eight men. But how?", Huo Baixing shouted with a dark look on his face.

 Chapter 165 Mighty Allies Of Zhan Clan

    Huo Baixing could not control his rage after seeing the visible reduction in the number of his Huo n warriors. What they lost was not some ordinary ctivators, each of them were a pir of his Huo n strength. Especially three of the fifth stage experts who were among the eight cultivators who had mysteriously vanished.


    When Huo n experts were introspecting among themselves, Zhan Chen was thinking about a n to kill the sixth stage expert of Huo n. If he could seed in taking out the head of his strongest enemy, then other warriors of Huo n would be sitting duck infront of him.


    ''What Should I do? Should I attack or not?'', Zhan Chen felt unsure for a moment after seeing the Huo n experts who had gathered their entire strength in a single location.


    He was keeping an eye on the Huo n experts while hiding himself in a nearby location. But suddenly his expression changed and he vanished from his location.


    The sixth stage expert of Huo n sensed something and looked towards the distance sky.


    "Fellow daoists, why don''t you show yourselves?", the sixth stage expert of Huo n cupped his hand towards the distant location.


    "Tsk! Tsk! Huo n is getting mightier everyday. It has been few days and another tribtion stage cultivator popped up", a sarcastic voice came out from thin air.


    The faces of Huo n experts were grim but they couldn''t do anything against mighty sixth stage experts.


    "Young master Bai, please escape after I make an opening. These sixth stage cultivators do not seem to have good opinion towards our Huo family", the sixth stage expert of Huo n spoke to Huo Baixing with his soul consciousness.


    "Well, there is no point in concealing ourselves any longer", the earlier voice sounded out again. But this time, it seemed like he was talking to someone else other than Huo n warriors.


    "There is no point indeed", hispanion replied and two masked cultivators became visible in the sky above the Huo n warriors.


    "Who are you two? I have never seen you before", the sixth stage experts of Huo n spoke as he looked towards the uninvited sixth stage experts.


    "You don''t have to know", one of the sixth stage cultivator who was floating in the air replied and pressed his hand towards the ground.


    A huge palm print materialized out of thin air and it directly came crashing on Huo n cultivators.


    --------------


    "What a fool", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after seeing the battle between two sixth stage experts. If the Huo n cultivator was smart, he would have dispersed other cultivators of his n towards different directions but now it was toote.


    The two masked cultivators took action swiftly and started to take out the Huo n cultivators one by one.


    Infront of the might of sixth stages experts, the other Huo n experts beside their sixth stage experts were sitting ducks. After fourth stage, difference between realms were heaven and earth. A fifth stage expert could easily overwhelm a peak fourth stage expert and as for the sixths stage experts they were beyond the leagues of fourth stage and fifth stage cultivators.


    It took only took some moments for the masked sixth stage experts to take down the Huo n experts. Huo Baixing could only watch helplessly as all of his n mates got butchered infront of his eyes.


    "What do you want?", Huo Baixing could only ask some words before he got knocked out by the sixth stage masked expert.


    After taking down everyone, it was the turnof Huo n sixth stage expert. He tried to fight back fiercely but his attempt was futile infront of the pincer attacks of the two sixth stage experts.


    "What a waste! I could have easily gained a Tribtion realm ve", Zhan Chen thought to himself. Despite his disappointment what he wanted to know the most was the intention of these two sixth stage cultivators.


    But to his surprise, the sixth stage cultivators started to talk about him as soon as they took down the Huo n cultivators. Zhan Chen perked up his ears as he listened to the conversation of the two masked cultivators.


    "Where is that brat of Zhan n. We have checked everywhere but couldn''t find him anywhere in this ce", one of the masked cultivatormented.


    "Doesn''t matter. We just need to keep watch on Shen n cultivators and he will turn up there", the other masked cultivator replied.


    "Willy foxes", Zhan Chen cursed after hearing the nning of both of the cultivators.


    "Brother Zhuan, tell me one thing. Does we really need to go to such length for protecting one kid?", the cultivation who was questioning earlier asked.


    Hispanion furrowed his brows after hearing the words of his fellow cultivator. "Brother Yun. Don''t take it lightly. If you fail in the task, then even with your main branch identity, you can''t escape the punishment of the n", he replied to his fellow cultivator.


    "Wei Zhuan, you are joking. We are tribtion realm cultivators of Lu n. Who can punish us in the n even if we do any mistake?", the cultivator named Yun looked towards hispanion.<sub> </sub>


    "Don''t forget that we still have our supreme elders. The emperors!", Wei Zhuan replied.


    After their brief conversation, they left with Huo Baixing but Zhan Chen learned many more things form their conversation. ording to their conversation, they are from Lu n which may be the same Lu n of centralnd.


    As for their intention, they seemed like protecting him but Zhan Chen was not sure about details.


    Zhan Chen recalled the words of his ancestor when he was bidding him farewell. The ancestor of Zhan n seemed to remind him that Zhan n still had many enemies as well as friends.


    ''Well, there is no point in overthinking. Looks like I have to meet these two from Lu n. As for their intention, I will learn it after meeting both of them'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He used Wind chasing steps and vanished from his ce. After sometime, he emerged near the palce of Shen n cultivators.


    "That brat is back", Lu Yunmented.


    "He is looking at us!", Wei Zhuan spoke with a surprised look on his voice. Lu Yun looked towards the ground and found Zhan Chen looking towards both of them with a calm look on his face. As for the Shen n cultivators, they still had yet to locate Zhan Chen''s presence.


    "Greetings seniors", Zhan Chen bowed his head slightly towards the two Lu n cultivators.


    "What a strange brat!", Lu Yunmented as he followed behind Wei Zhuan and descended on the ground near Zhan Chen.


    "How did you find us?", Wei Zhuan asked.


    "Seniors are just sightseeing in the sky. So, I thought it would be best if I can ask for some pointers from the esteemed seniors", Zhan Chen replied eloquently.


    Wei Zhuan felt speechless after hearing the nonsense from Zhan Chen. Lu Yun also threw a strange gaze towards Zhan Chen as if he was seeing a rare specimen.


    "It is a miracle that Zhan n had such a character like you", Wei Zhuan shook his head. After that he introduced themselves to Zhan Chen.


    "Who else is Zhan n''s ally?", Zhan Chen asked Wei Zhuan.


    "Don''t you heard anything from your ancestor?", Wei Zhuan asked Zhan Chen in aconfused tone in his voice.


    Zhan Chen shook his head as his ancestor, Zhan Lin had didn''t mention any specific name to him. His only advice was to be careful.


    From Wei Zhuan, Zhan Chen learned that Huang n beside Lu n was an ally of their Zhan n. As for their current attitude towards Zhan n, it was yet to be found out.


    "What about other three ns? Are they allies or enemies?", Zhan Chen looked towards Wei Zhuan and Lu Yun.


    "You are merely an eighteen year old brat. Why are you asking so much questions for?", Lu Yun interjected in between the conversation of Zhan Chen and Wei Zhuan.


    "You are proud because you manage to reach Heavenly tribtion realm before crossing the threshold of hundred years, right?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Yun with a smile.


    "How do you find out?", Lu Yun blurted out as he looked towards Zhan Chen with a startled look on his face.


    "How do I find out is not important. What is important is that you are not able to advance a single stage sincest ten years. Am I right?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Yun.


    The look on Lu Yun''s face changed as he looked towards Zhan Chen as if was seeing a monster. Wei Zhuan also felt surprise as what Zhan Chen was speaking was hundred percent truth.


    "Now, can you tell me the name of our enemies?", Zhan Chen looked towards Wei Zhuan while ignoring Lu Yun. This time Lu Yun didn''t disturb as he becamepletely silent.


    "So, Shen n is not an enemy. It is a relief then", Zhan Chen murmured after hearing the exnation of Wei Zhuan about their enemies.


    "They are not enemies but they will be if the situation in the Shen n go on like this", Wei Zhuan spoke.


    "Tell me about it", Zhan Chen looked towards Wei Zhuan.

 Chapter 166 Danger Is Gone, Now It Is Spring Time

    "Handiwork of Tribtion realm experts", Li Han murmured as he checked the the ce of battle between Huo n experts and two masked cultivators of Lu n.


    "Zhan Chen, you really do not know anything?", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shook his head as he looked towards the battlefield of Huo n and two masked cultivators of Lu n.


    "You expect me peek at sixth stage experts without getting noticed? You are really overestimating my ability", Zhan Chen spoke while shaking his head.


    His words convinced all the Shen n experts but it couldn''t convince Li Han who had seen his abilities while traveling inside the mist forest of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    Zhan Chen was hellbent on staying silent. So, Li Han didn''t bother him and led their group towards the outskirts of wilderness.


    The nearby city was Scarlet moon city and Shen n experts had already gathered information about it. So, they decided to take a rest in the inns of Scarlet moon city.


    -----------


    "Young master, can wee inside?", Zhan Chen heard the voice of Ling''er and Su''er after cultivating for a while.


    The top two floors of the inn was booked only for Shen Ruyan and her guests. So, there was no problem of someone eavesdropping. Otherwise, Ling''er and Su''er wouldn''t visit him if there was presence of outsiders nearby them.


    "Come in", Zhan Chen spoke after hearing the voice of Ling''er and Su''er.


    "Young master", Ling''er called out after entering the room. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her enthusiastic face. Su''er was also the same as both of the girls were excited after seeing Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had heart peering technique. So, he could see through thelittle thoughts of both of the girls.


    "Would not your young miss be jealous after seeing you guys visiting me?", Zhan Chen looked towards Su''er and Ling''er with a teasing look on his face. Su''er and Ling''er blushed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing both of their lovely expressions. "Okay, no need to feel embarassed. I will visit your young misster", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He stood up from his ce and pulled both of the girls into his embrace. It took only two kissed from him before both of the girls fully opened up to show their emotions.


    "Young master, you should lie down. Let us sisters serve you first", Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen with a lovely look on her face.


    Zhan Chen had no reason to deny the good intentions of both of the girls. So, he did as they said and lied down on his bed while resting his shoulders on the adjacent world.


    Both Ling''er and Su''er took down their clothes on their own volition and turned to look towards Zhan Chen who was lying down on his bed leisurely and looking towards them with a burning look on his face.


    Ling''er and Su''er felt happy after seeing the possessive look on Zhan Chen''s face. There was nothing more delightful to them other than seeing their young master''s desire for both of them.<sub> </sub>


    Su''er clumsily nted a kiss on Zhan Chen''s cheeksand proceeded to take off his robe. Ling''er proceeded to pull up his pant as his naked body came to the view of both of the girls.


    His dragon was already charged up as it twitched after seeing the passionate look on both Su''er and Ling''er''s faces.


    Both of their faced got reddened after seeing the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen but both of them didn''t get intimidated and put their hands on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Their stroke brought great pleasure to Zhan as he brought his hand and traced the back of both of the girls who were kneeling beside his dragon.


    Su''er crouched down and put a kiss on the tip of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Then he stuck out her tongue and takeick on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Ling''er also did the same as both of the girls struck out their tongues and took a lick of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Shhhhhh", Zhan Chen took a long breath as he felt the pleasure of his dragon being licked by two soft tongues. It felt soft and tickling but most painful was the fact that it felt highly teasing to his dragon who was expecting their mouths to take it in.


    Zhan Chen wondered from where they had learned such tricks to torment him. A sly smile appeared on the face of Su''er after she saw the look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Little witch", Zhan Chen cursed after seeing the teasing look on Su''er''s face. Su''er took a vertical lick of his shaft as her tongue went from his bottom to the top.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t take it anymore as his veins were already being out from the extreme stimtion. He reached out his towards Su''er''s head and pushed it downward towards his dragon.


    "Uhhh", Su''er didn''t resist his push as Zhan Chen shoved his entire dragon inside her mouth. Zhan Chen released her only after a while as his dragon trembled with pleasure from all the saliva she had put on.


    Su''er coughed lightly but Zhan Chen didn''t let her go. He gave enough time for her to catch her breath and pushed her again on his dragon.


    "Young master, I also want to try", Ling''er interjected from side after seeing the pleased look on Zhan Chen''s face while he was shoving his entire dragon inside Su''er''s mouth.


    Zhan Chen nodded his breath but she was little lenient on Ling''er. fteeall he was giving a little punishment to schemeing Litt witch Su''er.


    Deep throat ins were expremely pleasurable to Zhan Chen as his dragon trembled in pleasure from being bathed by the fragrant saliva of Ling''er and Su''er.


    After catching her breath for some long moments, Su''er didn''t wait any longer as her eyes went towards the family treasures of Zhan Chen. She started to lick it gently as Ling''er was taking in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen''s breathing quickened as he feltpletely aroused by the earnest hospitality of both Su''er and Ling''er. He let both of the girls did as they pleased as he soaked in the extreme amount of pleasure.

 Chapter 167 A Night Of Passion

    "Young master, if we do that will not it alert others?", Su''er looked towards Zhan Chen while stroking the little brother of Zhan Chen.


    "You don''t have to worry about it. Put your mind at ease and sit on it", Zhan Chen pointed towards his little brother.


    Su''er blushed but she had absolute trust in Zhan Chen''s words. So, she put her legs across Zhan Chen''s waist and crouched down on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Ahhh~", Su''er let out a moan as Zhan Chen''s dragon pierced her cave fiercely. Zhan Chen held her waist with both of his hands and moved her body gently over his dragon.


    His speed gradually increased as he started to thrust his dragon from below. Su''er couldn''t bear the fierce thrusts of Zhan Chen for a longer period. It took only ten minutes for her to release her yin water on Zhan Chen''s dragon as her body leaned on Zhan Chen''s chest.


    Ling''er took this time to her advantage as she took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth. Su''er moved aside after few moments and it was the turn of Ling''er to please Zhan Chen.


    Her body was less tolerant than Su''er. So, despite her passionate cooperation, she reached her limit within ten minutes. Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled as it got drenched by the yin water of Su''er and Ling''er.


    "Looks like I have to do it myself", Zhan Chen smirked towards Su''er and Ling''er. A look of expectation appeared on both of their faces after they heard the words of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled Su''er close to him who was sitting at a corner of the bed. He made her lie down and opened her legs wide.


    Her cave which was already dripping with water came into full view of his eyes. Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon at the entrance of her cave and then entered her cave with a single thrust of his waist.


    "Ahhhhhn~", Su''er let out a moan of ecstasy as Zhan Chen continued to move his waist. Rapid thrusts continued and Su''er''s mind got overwhelmed by the extreme amount of pleasure.


    Zhan Chen leaned frward and and gave a passionate kiss on her lips. Su''er coopearated passionately as she made her tongue entangled with Zhan Chen''s. Zhan Chen continued to pound her while both of their lips were entangled with eachother.


    "Nnnnnng~", Su''er''s body twitched as she released her yin water for second time. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the greedy cat who was staring at him since a while.


    "Ling''er,e over", Zhan Chen beckoned to Ling''er who was staring at him since a while.


    "Move your back towards me", Zhan Chen spoke. Ling''er blushed but she still did what Zhan Chen had said. Her face stayed opposite to Zhan Chen''s body as she bared her back infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen crouched down slightly and pulled Ling''er closer to him. His face was currently facing the beautiful back of Ling''er. Her still growing half moons and her secret garden beneath the bumpy half moons. Zhan Chen took a good look at her back and then struck his tongue.


    "Nnnnnn~", Ling''er let out a whimper as Zhan Chen invaded her secret garden with his tongue. Sound of ecstacy came out from her mouth as Zhan Chen continued his tongue assault.


    When Ling''er felt like she was reaching her peak,Zhan Chen shoved his dragon inside her cave.


    "Ahhhhh~", Ling''er let out a loud moan as Zhan Chen started to pound her from behind. Ling''er released her yin water once again and Zhan Chen also reached his limit. His dragon throbbed as Zhan Chen released a huge amount of his yang essence inside the sacred cave of Ling''er.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon and a stream of his yang essence poured down from the cave of Ling''er.


    "Go back to your room. I wille to your roomter in the night. Also take that girl Li Shu with you. She is being bored with thepany of Li Yan", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Both of the girls nodded their heads and said their goodbye to Zhan Chen after taking a little rest. A smile appeared in Zhan Chen''s face as he thought about his new target.


    He spread his soul consciousness and found Liu Nanxi standing on the roof of a distant building. She remained elusive al always but there was a lost expression on her face as she gazed towards the distant horizon in the dark essnof the night.


    "Beauty, what are you thinking?", a voice came out of nowhere and Liu Nanxi ce out of her reverie. She turned her head and found Zhan Chen smiling at her.


    "What are you doing here?", Liu Nanxi asked coldly. Zhan Chen smiled as his figure vanished from his spot and within a blink of an eye, he was already standing close to Liu Nanxi.


    Zhan Chen pulled Liu Nanxi into his embrace as he held the soft body of Liu Nanxi with his hands. He was a tall young man. So, it felt no way awkward as he held a mature beauty like Liu Nanxi in his hands.<sub> </sub>


    "What are you doing?", Liu Nanxi spoke with a flustered voice as she tried to struggle free from Zhan Chen''s embrace. Zhan Chen didn''t let her do as she pleased as he lowered his head and a nted kiss on her cherry red lips.


    His hand didn''t stay idle as he started to explore her entire back with his hand. Liu Nanxi tried to protest but she got overwhelmed by the passionate touch and kisses of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, this is not a ce to...", Liu Nanxi tried to remind Zhan Chen that they were still in the open but Zhan Chen drowned her voice with another kiss.


    "I know we are in the open. So, let me find a ce and we can talk", Zhan Chen smirked at Liu Nanxi and before she could reply him, he swooped up her body and jumped down from the room of the building.


    "Zhan Chen, are you insane?", Liu Nanxi became startled after seeing Zhan Chen jumping down from the building. She was going to use her power to protect them from the fall but Zhan Chen kiched the air with his leg and his figure strangely leviated in the air.


    "Core condensation realm! You have actually reached Core Condensation realm", Liu Nanxi murmured with surprise as Zhan Chen used his essence energy infront of her.


    She was still in disbelief when Zhan Chen released her from his embrace.


    "Sir, can we get a room?", Zhan Chen brought her inside an inn and spoke to the man who was sitting in the counter.


    The innkeeper was feeling drowsy but he still woke up by Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen had used a little bit of his essence energy while calling out to the innkeeper. So, the drowsiness of the innkeeperpletely vanished when he heard the essence infused words of Zhan Chen.


    "Esteemed seniors, please forgive me for not receiving you two properly. May I know how can I help you two?", the innkeeper looked towards Zhan Chen and Liu Nanxi with respect in his eyes.


    "Give us the best room avable", Zhan Chen spoke and took out a few gold coins. Liu Nanxi was feeling shy but she still followed behind Zhan Chen as she had no choice. She couldn''t cause a ruckus infront of an innkeeper.


    "Why are you doing this? You should be with young miss", Liu Nanxi spoke in a low voice while Zhan Chen turned to look back at her after closing the doors.


    Zhan Chen could see that she had no aversion towards him but she was still feeling reluctance in embracing their rtionship.


    "She need a good spanking", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He came forward and put an agressive kiss on Liu Nanxi''s lips.


    His hand started to roam around as he didn''t give any chance for Liu Nanxi toin. He pushed her to the bed and started to find his way around her body with his hands.


    "You should not speak about others where you are with me. Think about yourself and how should you make me happy", Zhan Chen spoke near her ears and continued to nibble her cherry red lips.


    Liu Nanxi couldn''t stop him when he took down her clothes as he was keeping her busy with an kiss.


    Her full mounds came to the view of Zhan Chen after he made her upper body bare. The pair of the gigantic peaks were as majestic as before which made Zhan Chen to swallow his saliva.


    "Nnnnnn~", an inaududible moan escaped the mouth of Liu Nanxi as Zhan Chen started to show his expertise to Liu Nanxi.


    Her semi naked body was full of allure to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen massaged her peaks a little and then he brought down his mouth and ced it on the full mounds of Liu Nanxi.


    A milky taste came to the mouth of Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen nibbled on the cherry over the peak of Shen Ruyan. His other hand didn''t remain idle as Zhan Chen used it to massage her remaining peak.


    "Mmmmm~", Liu Nanxi started to squirm in pleasure as waves after waves of pleasure engulfed her mind. She finally couldn''t control herself when Zhan Chen found his way towards her cave.


    A huge amount of yin water came out from her sacred cave when Zhan Chen had barely made his contact with her little sister.


    "What a surprise! Nanxi, are you thinking about me while standing there alone?", Zhan Chen asked while taking out the drenched underwear of Liu Nanxi.

 Chapter 168 Sixth Stage Experts Of Shen Clan

    Morning sun rose in the distant sky as it painted all of the Shredded mountain province golden with its early morning rays. Liu Nanxi opened her eyes feeling drowsy but her sleepiness disappeared after she saw the morning raysing from the window.


    ''I have overslept'', she thought to herself and tried to sit up. When she took out the silky bedsheet, something striked her mind.


    "Oh no, I am still naked. How can I be so caress?", Liu Nanxi chided herself and looked for her clothes hurriedly. After dressing up herself, Liu Nanxi opened up her soul consciousness and looked around if there was anything missing in her surrounding.


    There was nothing wrong in the surrounding but blush appeared on her face after she saw the condition of the room where she was sleeping.


    "It is all that scroundel''s fault" Liu Nanxi murmured to herself as she recalled the most craziest night she had ever lived. Zhan Chen was like a wild beast yesterday. Liu Nanxi''s blush deepened as she recalled some of postures that she had to make after hearing the repeated pestering of Zhan Chen.


    "I hope that scroundel has guarded young miss yesterday. Otherwise, I will get even with him if there are any problems", Liu Nanxi murmured to herself as she vanished from her room.


    As for the person in question, he was busy cultivating inside his room. Zhan Chen continued to operate the Celestial yin yang sutra as the pure essence energy circting inside his body increased with each cycle.


    ''it is indeed easy to cultivate my technique if I can find women who are at higher realms than my cultivation'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He stood up from his ce after absorbing the yin essence energy that he had gatheredst night.He spread his soul consciousness and a smile appeared on his face.


    ''Even Ling''er is cultivating seriously this time. Good for her. With that otherworldly inheritance of theirs, noone can stop her and Su''er in their cultivation path'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He pushed upon his door and went outside. Zhen Wang was talking with one of hispanion from Shen n. Seeing Zhan Chen, both of them greeted him.


    Zhan Chen greeted them back and looked towards Zhen Wang.


    "Young master Chen, is their something you need?", Zhen Wang asked Zhan Chen.


    "Nothing particr. But I hope you two seniors can describe some of the important matters about centralnd to me", Zhan Chen replied.


    Both of the Shen n cultivators happily obliged as they started to exin the matters of centralnd infront of Zhan Chen.


    One family, five n, three sects reigned over the entire Centralnd. One could say they reigned over entire Northern desert continent. Besides them, two unique entities were there whose status was not lesspared to nine supreme powers.


    Five ns were


    Huang n


    Lu n


    Li n


    Huo n and


    Shen n


    Three sects were


    Heavenly sword sect<sub> </sub>


    Xuantian sect


    Frozen cloud sect


    The only family among the superpowers was Xie family who was also the proimed ruler of the entire continent.


    "Young master, you should look out for the Xie family. I don''t know what attitude they will show you after knowing that you are the scion of past hegemon, Zhan n", Zhen Wang spoke.


    "No need to worry about them. Our n has no interest in going against them or any other powers. All my family want is to cultivate peacefully. But if anybody dare disturb them then....", Zhan Chen didn''tplete his sentence but from the cold look on his face Zhen Wang and thepanion understood what he meant.


    "I hope things do not develope in that direction. Moreover, your n has your ancestor ''s protection", Zhen Wang looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and asked about the other powers of the centralnd. Before entering the centralnd, he wanted to prepare himself for any eventuality.


    "Besides the nine superpowers, there are also Alchemy association and Weapon refinement union. Their power and influence is no lesserpared to nine superpowers", Zhen Wang spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as he had already heard about the Weapon refinement union. Huo n had some ties with them. So, they were causing trouble for Shen Ruyan despite knowing that she was the young miss of Shen n.


    "What about other powers? Is there no onepetent in the centralnd besides the entities you have mentioned?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zhen Wang and hispanion.


    "How can it be? Young master, please don''t misunderstand. What we told you are the the most known powers of the centralnd. But there are many other ns and families who can fight with nine superpowers if they join hands", thepanion of Zhen Wang spoke.


    "Oh!", Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up as he heard the words of Zhen Wang''spanion.


    ''What I needed most is finally here'', Zhan Chen thought to himself as he looked towards Zhen Wang and hispanion.


    Both of the Shen n cultivators noticed the look in Zhan Chen''s eyes. Seeing the look of interest on his face, they introduced the other major powers to Zhan Chen and their rtionship with other superpowers.


    Zhan Chen gained a clear understanding of centralnd after talking with the two Shen n experts. He bade them farewell and turned to go towards the room of Ling''er and Su''er.


    Both of the girls had already ended their cultivation session and now both of them were talking with Li Shu about some random topics. Zhan Chen had not forgotten his promise to them. They wanted him to apany them to market. So, he was here to take them to visit the markets of Scarlet moon city.


    --------------


    The reinforcement of Shen n arrived much quicker than what Zhan Chen had anticipated. This time, they had dispatched two sixth stage experts to bring Shen Ruyan home.


    "Grand uncle Yang, grand uncle Tong", Shen Ruyan greeted the two sixth stage experts of her n as they observed the entire crowd of Shen n experts.


    "Little girl, it is unexpected that you managed to breakthrough your bottleneck. No wonder, your grand father do not hesitate to rubuke the grand elder''s faction", a sixth stage expert of Shen n spoke as he looked dotingly at Shen Ruyan.


    ''They are indeed divided in groups. I need to do something. Otherwise, what the Lu n expert spoke will be true. I can''t let the Shen n fell into the enemy camp'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Now, tell us what happened in details. Start with the incidents of Cleaning incense ancient sect", the sixth stage experts of Shen n looked towards the group of Li Han and others.


    (To be continued........)

 Chapter 169 Shredded Mountain Range

    "You meant to say that you managed to locate the experts of Huo n in advance and avoided their group by going in a different direction", the sixth stage expert of Shen n raised his eyebrow towards Li Han.


    Li Han nodded his head as it was the reason for which they could avoid a sh with Huo n experts. He had nothing to hide infront of the sixth stage experts except the involvement of Zhan Chen in warning him about the Huo n experts.


    Zhan Chenmended Li Han inwardly in his mind as he chose not to expose his skills infront of their sixth stage experts. "My conjecture was not wrong about Li Han. He proves himself trustworthy by his actions", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "You are Zhan Chen, right?", one of the sixth stage expert of Shen n looked towards Zhan Chen. Hispanion also turned his head and focused his eyes on Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings seniors", Zhan Chen bowed slightly towards the sixth stage experts of Shen n and looked towards them with a calm expression on his face.


    Aura of a sixth stage expert crashed towards him within a moment but Zhan Chen didn''t show any changes in his expression. A look of bewilderment and approval shed in the eyes of the Shen n expert who was talking with Zhan Chen.


    "Supreme elder reminds us that we can not underestimate those who are from Zhan n and you prove him correct. Tell us, which power you are nning to join after participating in the Grand sectpetition?", the sixth stage expert asked while looking towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I have yet to decide but if I am given option to choose between the three supreme sects, then I will go tothe Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen replied.


    The sixth stage expert nodded his head and didn''t bother Zhan Chen anymore. After chatting some more time with the Shen n experts, both of them decided to check the area where Huo n experts faced some unknown enemies.


    "Ling''er, looks like you have gained some improvements in your cultivation", Zhan Chen smiled towards Ling''er.


    "It is all thanks to young master. I just need some more time and I can improve another stage in my cultivation", Ling''er replied with a happy smile on her face.


    He checked both Su''er and Li Shu and all of them had visible progress in their cultivation levels. Zhan Chen nodded his head and turned to look towards Kai Min.


    It was because he noticed some sneaking nces from her while he was looking at Su''er and Li Shu.


    "Greetings Miss Min. How is your cultivation going?", Zhan Chen walked towards her and asked.


    "Thanks young master Chen. I am already at second stage of True essence realm", Kai Min replied with a blush. She was still feeling shy around Zhan Chen despite her prolonged dual cultivation with Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen smiled towards her and walked away. Hepletely ignored the girl who was standing next to her.


    Someplicated emotion shed past in Li Yan''s eyes. But she managed to suppress it as a look of resolve appeared in her eyes. Zhan Chen didn''t have to bother about the proud beauty Li Yan. So, he ignored her despite seeing some changes in her facial expression.


    It didn''t take time for the sixth stage experts of Shen n toe back. There was a grim look in both of their faces as they hurried towards the inn where Shen n group was staying.<sub> </sub>


    "It was a sh between atleast three sixth stage experts. Moreover, one of them was a mid sixth stage expert", one of them spoke to the Shen n crowd.


    "We didn''t know that Huo n had dispatched a sixth stage expert to deal with you. Your grand father will be incensed if hees to know about it", the other sixth stage expert of Shen n spoke to Shen Ruyan.


    "Grand uncle Tong, what should we do now?", Shen Ruyan looked towards the sixth stage expert of her n who was talking with her.


    "We will leave as soon as possible. There is something fishy about Huo n''s sudden disappearance. Huo n will surely investigate it.


    Moreover, there is also the ancestoral ground of Cleansing Incense ancient sect which vanished infront of the eyes of fire marquis. This ce is going to be chaotic", elder Tong of Shen n replied to Shen Ruyan.


    "What, Cleaning incense ancient sect vanished?", Shen n experts felt baffled after hearing the news from their sixth stage expert. But Zhan Chen had a calm look on his face as he was already expecting this to happen.


    -------------


    A gigantic mountain range appeared Infront of the Shen n experts after they went towards the border of the western region.The peaks seemed to be touching the clouds as the thick vegetation around it giving an ancient feeling to the surrounding onlookers.


    "So huge!", Ling''er murmured after seeing the Shredded mountain range infront of her. It was not only she was feeling the surprise but any cultivator in her ce would feel surprise after seeing the gigantic creation of heaven and earth infront of them.


    The Shredded mountain range was a long stretch of mountains which separated the western region from the centralnd. Dense expanse of forests covered the entire mountain range and it provided the safe haven for the magical beasts to survive.


    The addition of magical beasts with the difficult terrain of Shredded mountain range made it one of the most dangerous ce of the entire Northern desert continent.


    A surprised look appeared in the eyes of Zhan Chen after he scanned the nearby areas of Shredded mountain range with his soul consciousness. "It seems like someone has forcefully tore apart the long mountain range. But such things are not possible even with the power of a peak sage realm expert", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He followed the Shen n warriors as their group inched closer to the Shredded mountain range. "Li Han, you will be incharge of protecting our group from the back. I will lead our group from the front", elder Tong of Shen n spoke.


    Li Han nodded his head as he had noin in the nning of a sixth stage expert. The sixth stage expert of Shen n assigned positions to the other warriors of Shen n. Their group proceeded ahead after everyone positioned themselves in an orderly manner.


    "One of the sixth stage expert is leading from the front and other one is following in the shadow. Not a bad formation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He was sitting on his horned lion as he followed other Shen n experts to the inner area of the Shredded mountain range.

 Chapter 170 Who Is The Mastermind?

    The Shredded mountain range was full of all sorts of vegetation. Tier one and tier two magical beasts were plenty as they had found their sanctuary in different types of vegetation.


    "Be careful. Generally the low tier magical beasts would not attack our group after sensing the auras of powerful warriors. But it is not certain", Li Han warned the Shen n warriors who were walking ahead of him.


    Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan ced their hands on their weapons after hearing the words of Li Han. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the nervous look on the faces of Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Rx. Don''t be riled up this early. We still have a long way to go", Zhan Chen looked towards both of his girls. Li Shu and Kai Min nodded their heads but their nervousness didn''t lessenedpletely. Zhan Chen couldn''t do anything about it as he apanied the group of Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan.


    Time seemed to pass slowly in the Shredded mountain range. Even the sixth stage experts could not rx their nerves as they were responsible for the security of their entire group.


    Initially, it was tier one and tier two magical beasts but as they traveled deeper into the Shredded mountain range, powerful magical beasts started to appear in the vicinity.


    "Everyone, halt", the sixth stage expert raised his hand as he stopped his horned lion from moving forward.


    p "Elder, what is the matter?", the fourth stage expert who was following behind him asked. Other warriors of Shen n also stopped their mounts after seeing their sixth stage expert stopping in the middle of their way.</anda>


    "The territory ahead is ghost faced ape''s territory. Generally, it is easy to traverse their territory in the day time but for some reason they were acting weird.


    There is still sometime left before the evening but all of them were awake and it seemed like all of them were pretty angry at the moment", the sixth stage expert of Shen n spoke.


    He was in a dilemma what to do at the moment. If he chose to avoid the territory of ghost faced ape''s, then they had to traverse a longer route than expected. And it was never a good idea to stay in the Shredded mountain range for more time than originally required.


    "We have to avoid them. It is easy to take them down but it will attract the attention of sixth tier magical beasts", the voice of hispanion ringed in the mind of the sixth stage expert of Shen n.


    Tomunicate through the mind was an ability of those who were at fifth stage or above. This method could easily avoid the detection of those who were at lower stage of cultivation. But this condition was not applied to those who were at higher cultivation stages than themunicators.


    Zhan Chen was one of such example who easily intercepted their conversation without exposing his presence. Zhan Chen continued to listen to the conversation of both sixth stage experts of Shen n and as their conversation progressed, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.


    Actually, he could have noticed the situation earlier than the sixth stage experts if he would have spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding. But Zhan Chen was still reluctant to use his soul consciousness in the Shredded mountain range as he was wary of seventh tier magical beasts.


    Seventh tier magical beasts were equal with the seventh stage supreme cultivators of humans. They were respected as emperors in both human and magical beasts world.


    Despite his peak sage realm soul prowcess, Zhan had to be wary of seventh stage cultivators as they could notice soul fluctuation in the surrounding.<sub> </sub>


    ''Let''s wait for now. If simr situation happens even if we change the route, then I will check our entire surrounding with my soul consciousness'', Zhan Chen made the decision inside his mind. He followed the Shen n cultivators as they changed their path and went towards another direction of Shredded mountain range.


    As they traveled some distance in another direction, the sixth stage expert of Shen n stopped suddenly. A frown had appeared on his wizened face.


    "Prepare for war", he said with a grim tone as he turned to look towards his right direction. Zhan Chen couldn''t ignore their situation any longer as he spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding.


    "What is going on?", he murmured to himself as a frown appeared on his face. Two groups of magical beasts were eyeing them from the side. Compared to the group of right side who were approaching them at a rapid pace, the group to the left were more sinister. They were keeping a long enough distance which could evede the soul consciousness of sixth stage cultivators.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness more wider and finally he could notice two sixth tier magical beasts who were keeping watch over their subordinates from a distance.


    ''Two sixth tier magical beasts are coopearating! What is happening here!'', a grim look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he noticed two sixth tier magical beasts.


    A war couldn''t be prevented anymore. But Zhan Chen wanted to find out the root cause. While he was pondering, the warning voice of a Shen n expert came from the distance.


    "Everyone, be alert. We are facing the Howling moon wolves".


    "Young master Chen, please be careful. What we are facing is the Howling moon wolves, one of the most vicious species of magical beasts", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen gave her an assured look and turned to look towards the approaching group of magical beasts. "Three fifth tier, twelve fourth tier magical beasts are among them", he murmured softly. But his voice was still heard by the group of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min. A shiver ran down their spines as they clenched their weapons more tightly.


    ''Battle will lead to more attention from magical beasts. Moreover, two sixth tier beasts are watching from the shadow. In this condition, what we need to know is their purpose of attack'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He looked towards the direction of sixth tier beasts and he decided on one among the both of them.


    It was a massive bear whose height was almost double of a normal cultivator. It had thick ck furs and two red eyes. For now, it was focusing on the cultivators of the Shen n group.


    It felt a sudden sense of crisis out of now here but before it could do anything about it, it''s eyes became nk. It took a few moments before Zhan Chen could control itpletely with his soul sense.


    "Aaoo", the howls of the fifth tier wolves sounded and the battle started immediately. Zhan Chen didn''t even have time to look for the details from the sixth tier beast as a herd of wolves attacked their group.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t let his women face the attacks of a group of Howling moon wolves. So, he had to draw his sword while simultaneously looking at the memory of the sixth tier magical beast.

 Chapter 171 Strategic Retreat

    "Eat,eat, eat! Do you know anything else except eating?", Zhan Chen yelled out in frustration while looking at the memory of the sixth tier magical beast. He had never felt such frustration in his entire life.


    Looking at the memory of a cultivator was no small matter as a cultivator had countless memories inside his mind. it was same for a magical beast or one could say it was more difficult considering the longer lifespan of a magical beast.


    Longer lifespan meant more memories and Zhan Chen became increasingly frustrated as he looked at the memory of the sixth tier magical beast.


    He only had one wish now. If given chance, he wanted to violently beat this stupid bear which he had tamed recently. Even it''s recent memories were filled with various kinds of exotic bear foods.


    Checking the memory of the sixth tier magical beast didn''t mean he forgot about the battle. He kept dodging and waving his sword at the group of magical beasts.


    The fifth tier and fourth tier magical beasts had their hands full with the Shen n experts as the Shen n group had simr numbers of fifth stage and forth stage warriors.


    The magical beasts group which came towards Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min wereprised of third tier wolves and it was less than a child y infront of Zhan Chen''s current cultivation.


    But Zhan Chen didn''t dispose them early as he kept ying with the third tier howling moon wolves. His goal was simple. He didn''t want to stand out too much infront of the sixth stage experts of Shen n.


    Each swing of his de left a deep would on the bodies of Howling moon wolves. Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan also stepped out to help as they could battle with third tier magical beasts.


    While battling the Howling moon wolves, Zhan Chen finally found out the clues he was looking for. He stopped looking at the memories of the sixth tier bear as a deep frown appeared on his face.


    ''Our situation is far more critical than what I have imagined. These sixth stage beast are not coborating on their own rather a seventh stage beast lord has gathered all the beasts under hermand'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He was calling the beast lord ''her'' because the magical beast had managed to take a human form after reaching the seventh tier.


    "There is no point in dealing with this bunch of magical beasts now. We need to retreat first. Afterall, the target of the seventh stage demoness was not us", Zhan Chen pondered inside his mind.


    His mind acted up quickly and he figured out a smooth solution for ordering the Shen n experts to retreat. His target was clear. He only had to take one of the sixth stage expert of Shen n as his ve and he could convince all of the Shen n experts to retreat from their battle with the Howling moon wolves.


    --------------


    "Elder, why are we retreating?", one of the Shen n expert couldn''t hold his curiousity and asked.


    Their group was still fleeing from the group of chasing Howling moon wolves. The magical beasts had only fifth tier experts while they had two sixth stage experts. So, the Shen n cultivators couldn''t understand why they were fleeing from the magical beasts despite such a huge advantage in strength.


    "You guys are big fools. You have yet to find out that these magical beasts are beingmanded by a sixth tier magical beast", elder Tong of Shen n spoke.


    "What? A sixth tire magical beast!", the expression of the Shen n warriors changed after hearing the words of elder Tong.


    "And now you should guess why I tell all of you to retreat. I want to avoid a battle between sixth stage experts", elder Tong added.


    The Shen n experts nodded their heads in understanding as they followed behind elder Tong.


    After some time, a loud roar of a bear came from the distance and the Howling moon wolves stopped in their tracks.


    Then another loud roar came and the Howling moon wolves retreated towards their earlier location. The Shen n experts felt baffled but the retreat of Howling moon wolves still calmed their nerves.


    "The beasts are retreating. We should thank elder Tong this time", one of the Shen n expert spoke in admiration. Other experts of Shen n also praised elder Tong as they were able to avoid a meaningless war.<sub> </sub>


    Elder Tong felt awkward for a moment as he heard the praises of his juniors. He knew he had no role in this matter. All of this was thanks to his master who warned him in time.


    Elder Tong subconsciously turned his head to look towards Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen reminded him not to look towards him. There was still elder Yang of Shen n who was watching everything from shadow. Zhan Chen didn''t want to deal with a mid sixth stage expert with his current cultivation. So, he was doing his best to not attract the attention of others towards him.


    "Elder, what should we do now? We have changed our path once and now this path is also blocked", the Shen n experts looked towards elder Tong.


    "Brother Yang, can you guard our group for a while? I will go and scout out a path for us", Elder Tong sent a mental message to hispanion.


    Elder Yang who was hiding in the shadow stood silent for a while. Then he gave a nod to elder Tong as he couldn''t think of another n in this situation.


    "But let''s go to a open ce first. Our group can take a rest and you will go look for a path for us", Elder Yang proposed.


    Elder Tong didn''t have any reason to refuse as the idea for scouting was given by Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t want to spread his soul consciousness too far as it could easily attract the attention of seventh tier beast lord. So, he could only give the task to elder Tong who can check the path described by his sixth tier bear pet.


    The Shen n experts found themselves a suitable ce soon enough. They got down from their horned lions and freed them to roam by themselves.


    The horned lions were third tier magical beasts. So, they were intelligent enough to not go away from the visual range of their masters.


    The Shen n experts could finally rx themselves slightly as most of them sat in groups to take a little rest. Their sixth stage expert and fifth stage experts were still here. So, they were not bothered by the leaving of elder Tong.


    Zhan Chen also sat down near Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min but his focus was on elder Tong who was now scouting the path ahead.


    "Don''t stretch your soul consciousness far wide. Just limit it to a minimum required distance and follow my direction", Zhan Chen spoke to elder Tong.


    Elder Tong felt unsure but he still followed Zhan Chen''s direction. Zhan Chen himself kept analyzing the mental map of the terrain as he gave instructions to elder Tong from tme to time.


    Zhan Chen had to stop what he was doing because he had two familiar visitors.


    "Ling''er, what happened? Is there something bothering you?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er who was standing with Su''er.


    "Greetings young master", Su''er greeted Zhan Chen. Ling''er also did the same but she asked a question which stomped Zhan Chenpletely.


    "Young master, will you miss me if something happened to me today?", Ling''er looked towards Zhan Chen. Her eyes were full of emotions as she stared at Zhan Chen.


    The question of Ling''er took everyone by surprise as Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan looked towards Zhan Chen. Her question managed to attract the attention of some Shen n experts also.


    Zhan Chen didn''t give her a reply immediately as her question striked a chord in his heart. Both Su''er and Ling''er were not some random girls he hade across. They had long be an irreceable part of his life as he kept spending time with both of them.


    Zhan Chen never thought that they would leave such deep impressions in his heat as their rtionship started as a casual dual cultivation session. But now, Zhan Chen could feel how deep their rtionship had be without him realising it.


    Everyone in the surrounding especially the girls around kept their eyes on Zhan Chen as all of them wanted to hear the reply from Zhan Chen. A capable male cultivator had multiple females but most of the female cultivator had only one person in their life. So, many of them would love to see whether a talented young man like Zhan Chen had some reciprocal feeling or not.


    Even Shen Ruyan also looked towards Zhan Chen as she wanted to to hear the answer from his mouth.

 Chapter 172 Matter Of Heart

    ? "Before answering your question, Ling''er, let me ask you the same question first. What will you have done, if something unexpected happened to me today?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ling''er.


    "Young master, I....", Ling''er stuttered as she had never thought of such a possibility. As for something happening to her young master, she couldn''t even think about such a possibility.


    Zhan Chen need not hear her response from her mouth. He had the Heart peering art. So, he could somehow know what she was feeling at this time.


    "Come here", Zhan Chen beckoned to Ling''er. Ling''er was always obedient. So, she walked towards Zhan Chen while looking at the gazes following her.


    She felt somehow awkward after seeing so many gazes. A blush appeared on her face as she thought how embarassing it was to be seen by so many people at a time.


    Zhan Chen pulled her to his embrace after she reached near him. Ling''er could feel the warmth of Zhan Chen''s body.


    Zhan Chen didn''t release her immediately as he wanted to calm her heart for a moment. As for the gazes of the crowd, he didn''t care anyway.


    "Now let''se to your question", Zhan Chen spoke after releasing Ling''er from his embrace.


    "Young master, I don''t need an answer anymore...", Ling''er murmured as she couldn''t bear so many gazes towards them. She was always a shy girl and the question she had asked was only a whim of her. But what she had never thought that, it would attract so many attention.


    "Before you asked the question, I have never thought about it but now I am clear about it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "As for something happening to you in some minor faceoffs with magical beasts, that wouldn''t have happened in the first ce under my watch", Zhan Chen spoke with a confident tone in his voice.


    "But if such a probability came true then I would have killed every beast my eyes could see at that moment", Zhan Chen spoke with a cold look on his face.


    "Forget about beasts, no one is allowed to harm my precious Ling''er in this world. If anyone dare to harm you then I vow that I will make that person disappear from the face of the world".


    "Even hundred deaths are not enough topensate if anything happens to you", Zhan Chen spoke as he looked towards Ling''er tenderly.


    He didn''t say whether he would miss or her not but everyone could feel his emotion after hearing his reply. Even Shen Ruyan''s eyes became slightly moist after hearing Zhan Chen''s reply.


    "Wu.wu", Ling''er started to cry as she couldn''t hold her tear anymore. The emotion of her youngmaster towards her was more than what she had expected. It was too much love for an ordinary girl like her.


    Su''er came to stop her but she was also doing her best not to cry. Zhan Chen felt helpless as he saw tear in both of the girls eyes. Su''er and Ling''er left without looking towards him but the attention of the crowd still remain focused on him even after both of the girls had left.


    "What a young man!", elder Yang shook his head as he was also left stunned by such a disy of emotion.


    ''It is better to warn everyone in the n to not mess with these two maids of Ruyan. Otherwise, no one knows what will fall upon us if we anger the madnen of Zhan n'', elder Yang thought to himself.


    The disturbance was brief but Zhan Chen wouldn''t mind such disturbance if the cause was one of his women. He focused his attention on elder Tong again after sending Ling''er back.


    Elder Tong was looking around himself after Zhan Chen said him to wait. He had not gone too far. So, his slight deviation didn''t create any difficulty for Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen started to guide him again as he processed all the information he had got from the sixth tier bear. He was still connected with his bear pet and with it''s help, it was easy to guide elder Tong.


    ''Rock pythons, Armoured bears, Shadow leopards! The inside of the Shredded mountain range is really colourful with all sorts of magical beasts'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The Shredded mountain range was too big and even his pet bear had not covered one fourth of the entire mountain range. But it had idea about the route which went through it''s territory. So, Zhan Chen did not face much problem in determining the route.


    -----------------


    "Brother Tong, are you sure? There so many magical beasts in this area. Would not they made amotion if we go through their territories?", elder Yang sent a mental message to elder Tong.<sub> </sub>


    "Brother Yang, you have to beleive me. This the safest route where we can avoid shes with sixth stage magical beasts", Elder Tong replied.


    Elder Yang didn''t know why elder Tong was so confident. But, he still decided to beleive in him. The situation in the Shredded mountain range was tense for some reason. So, he wanted to step out of the Shredded mountain range as soon as possible.


    Actually, situation was far more critical than what elder Yang had perceived. The entire Shredded mountain range was turning more chaotic with each passing minutes.


    But it didn''t affect the Shen n group as Zhan Chen was with them. Zhan Chen chose a path where they could avoid thedetection of sixth tier magical beasts.


    There were numerous fifth tier and fourth tier magical beasts in their path. But, Zhan Chen managed to subdue their leaders before time. So, they didn''t cause any ruckus when they saw the experts of Shen n.


    Their journey through the Shredded mountain range became extremely smooth as Zhan Chen kept manipting the leaders of the magical beasts.


    "Elder Tong, you have done well", elder Yang spoke after they covered half of their path without any major incident.


    "It took me four hours to find out a route for our travel. Fortunately, I have seeded but we should not rx yet. We need to keep traveling", elder Tong replied.


    Elder Yang nodded his head and became silent once again. Elder Tong led the Shen n group as he kept crossing one area after another.


    Zhan Chen could tell that Li Shu, Kai Min, Ling''er and Su''er were feeling tired but he was also helpless in this matter. If they didn''t cross the Shredded mountain range now, then it may caught the attention of the seventh tier beast lord. That would be truly problematic if the beast lordid her eyes on them.


    The darkness of the night faded as the morning sun greeted the eyes of everyone from the Shen n group. A feeling of relief rose in the heart of Shen n warriors as they bathed in the light of morning sun.


    "Elder, should we stop now? We are already near the border of Shredded mountain range", one of the Shen n expert looked towards elder Tong.


    "Not yet. We will be in trouble if any of the sixth tier magical beast catches upto us", elder Tong replied.


    His words quashed the hopes of all the shen n warriors. They ordered their horned lions to follow elder Tong as they traveled nonstop towards the border of Shredded mountain range.


    Few hours passed and finally a long in came to the view of everyone from Shen n.


    "We are finally out", a Shen n warrior shouted with excitement as he urged his horned lion to move faster. Elder Tong also increased the pace of his mount as he galloped down the mountainous path.


    "Sister, we have done this. We have crossed the Shredded mountain range and now we are at centralnd", Li Shu looked towards Li Yan with excitement.


    A smile crept into the lips of Li Yan as she looked at the in which was just below the mountain. She threw a look at Zhan Chen and a look of resolve appeared in her eyes.


    "I will prove myself in the grand sectpetition", she thought to herself.


    "Young miss, shall we stop?", a Shen n expert looked towards Shen Ruyan. Other experts of Shen n also looked towards Shen Ruyan as all of them expected her to agree to their request.


    Shen Ruyan felt a dilemma as she couldn''t make a decision without consulting the sixth stage experts.


    "Stop making trouble. We have alreadye so far. So, what is some mere distance? We will take rest after we travel to the nearby town", elder Tong turned his head to chide everyone.


    Shen Ruyan gave a thankful look to elder Tong as he made her escape from the pestering of Shen n warriors. She threw a look at Zhan Chen who was traveling behind her.Then, she urged her spirit deer to move as she followed behind the warriors of her n.


    Unbestknown to all of them, someone was cursing their entire group after they left the Shredded mountain range.


    She was a female warrior who was using a strange looking mask to cover her face. "Damn, those Shen n bastards. How dare they run away despite bringing two old geezers with them", she cursed while hiding inside an inconspicuous cave.

 Chapter 173 No One Will See Us

    "Young master, you can''t do this. It is still the day time", Li Shu spoke shyly as Zhan Chen kneaded her mounds without undressing her.


    "What are you worrying about? Your sister is cultivating seriously and so was Kai Min. As for others of the Shen n, they will not find a clue even if I stay in your room untill the night", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Well then", Li Shu blushed as she took a look at Zhan Chen shyly. Zhan Chen gave another squeeze to her mounds and then he lifted her chin up.


    Both of their lips met as Zhan Chen invaded Li Shu''s mouth with his tongue. Zhan Chen started to suck on the lips of Li Shu agressively. Li Shu also cooperated as her smooth tongue met the invading tongue of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, let me please you first", Li Shu spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and Li Shu reached her hands towards Zhan Chen''s pant. It was her first time trying to show some advances towards Zhan Chen. So, her action seemed clumsy to Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t be nervous. I will not judge you even if something went wrong", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu. Li Shu nodded her head shyly as she pulled down the pant of Zhan Chen.


    A red blush appeared on her face as soon as she saw the majestic little brother of Zhan Chen. She stretched out her hand and started to stroke the little brother of Zhan Chen.


    Her palm seemed to be small infront not the majestic dragon of Zhan Chen. "Young master, it is much bigger than before", she shyly spoke.


    Zhan Chen raised her chin again and gave her an encouraging kiss on her lips. He was enjoying it as LinShu had taken the initiative to please him today.


    Li Shu stroked Zhan Chen''s dragon for some more time. Then she knelt down as Zhan Chen''s dragon stood infront her pretty face.


    Li Shu brought out her tongue and gave a lick to Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched as a response to her teasing tongue.


    Zhan Chen shivered lightly as Li Shu kept licking his little brother with her tongue. "Damn it, howe all of my women be so teasing! Even my innocent Li Shu had started to act like a teasing vixen. All of these are that little witch, Su''er''s fault!", Zhan Chen roared inside his mind.


    As if Li Shu could see through thepains of Zhan Chen, she brought her lips close to Zhan Chen''s dragon. Then she swallowed it with a single movement of her head.


    Li Shu moved her tongue while swallowing the dragon of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shivered in pleasure as Li Shu''s skill stumped him.


    Li Shu kept moving her head and his one hand was busy in stroking the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Shhhhhh!", Zhan Chen took a deep breath as waves of pleasure coarsed through his brain. A pleased look appeared on Li Shu''s face after she saw the look on Zhan Chen''s master.


    "Young master Chen, you should lie on the bed. I can take care of you while you are resting", Li Shu spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and made himselffortable on Li Shu''s bed. He had no reason to deny if Li Shu was showing him such hospitality.


    Li Shu brought her mouth down as she took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth. She kept moving her head down untill Zhan Chen''s dragon poked the end of her throat.


    "Damn it", Zhan Chen felt like shooting the entire sky white as Li Shu gave him deep throats.


    It was an amazing experience to Zhan Chen being tended like it. Li Shu was neither slow neither agressive. She had her own pace as she kept pleasing Zhan Chen.


    When Zhan Chen thought she would stop, she didn''t. She kept giving Zhan Chen her head untill veins started to bulge on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Young master, please stay lying. Today, it is my wish to let young master feels good", Li Shu spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as Li Shu started to undress herself. She took out her own clothes as he slender body came to the view of Zhan Chen.


    Li Shu gave another lick to Zhan Chen''s dragon with her mouth. Then he crouched up on the dragon of Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen''s dragon pierced her little sister.


    "Mmmm", a moan escaped from Li Shu''s mouth as the robust dragon of Zhan Chen pierced her little cave.


    Li Shu ced her hands on Zhan Chen''s shoulders as she started to move her waist.


    "Ahhhhh~"


    "Ahhhhh~"


    "Mmmm~", sweet moans started to came out from Li Shu''s mouth as she did her best in pleasing Zhan Chen. Her cave was already watery even before the invasion of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Now with the invasion of mighty dragon, her flood gate opened.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen didn''t let her release her yin water on his dragon. He picked her up and made her sit on his face. Li Shu was already sensitive down there. So, with the slight touch of Zhan Chen''s tongue, she released her entire yin water on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Zhan Chen drank her yin water clean as Li Shu''s body trembled on his body. Li Shu took a little rest on Zhan Chen''s body. Then she picked herself up and again went to please Zhan Chen''s dragon with her mouth.


    By the time Zhan Chen came out of her room, Li Shu had released her yin water thrice. Zhan Chen instucted her to cultivate after depositing a huge amount of yang essence inside her little sister.


    He had a satisfied look on his face as Li Shu gave him a great experience today. She was understanding and she catered to his every need with great care. Zhan Chen could feel how dedicated she was in pleasing him.


    In fact, behind Li Shu''s action, she had a great concern. If Zhan Chen decided to use Heart peering act, then he could have seen through her concern. But, he had never thought of using the technique on his women while using dual cultivation.


    Li Shu had a satisfied look on her face as she stared at the door through which Zhan Chen had left.Then she pulled herself up and sat crosslegged to cultivate the Yin nourishing technique.


    --------------


    "Knock! Knock", the sound bof someone knocking the door came out from out outside of Zhan Chen''s room. Zhan Chen was meditating when he heard the knocking sound.


    "You two girls", Zhan Chen shook his head as a smile appeared on his face.


    "Tell me, what is it?", Zhan Chen could tell that both of the girls were here for a purpose.


    "Young master, can you apany us to the market?", Ling''er asked Zhan Chen. Su''er also looked towards Zhan Chen as both of the girls waited for Zhan Chen''s response.


    "Yes, I can. But I have a thing here that I have toplete before apaning you two to market", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What is it?", Ling''er looked curiously towards Zhan Chen.


    "Before saying it, first tell me what your young miss is doing?", Zhan Chen asked Ling''er.


    "Young miss was practicing her sword technique when wee to your room. We asked her toe with us but she told us that she needed to do her practice", Ling''er spoke.


    "Sword practice! She can do itter. As of now, she has to take care of the burning sword of mine", Zhan Chen smirked.


    "Young master looks evil", Ling''er spoke from the side. She had yet toprehend the meaning behind Zhan Chen''s words but Su''er blushed as she saw through the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, shall we wait then?", Su''er looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shook his head.


    "Why should you wait? Ho to your young miss room. That way no one will doubt us even if I spend my entire night there", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Su''er blushed but she still agreed with Zhan Chen''s words. She pulled Ling''er and went back to Shen Ruyan''s room.


    "You two, why have you returned so quickly?", Shen Ruyan stopped swinging her sword as she turned to look towards Ling''er and Su''er.


    "It is me who ask them to retu came the voice of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen entered through the door of Shen Ruyan and closed the door after entering.


    "Zhan Chen, why are you here?", Shen Ruyan asked with a surprised look on her face.


    "Can''t you tell?", Zhan Chen smirked at Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan blushed after seeing the evil look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "What are you even thinking? It is day time. Moreover, you are in my room", Shen Ruyan red towards Zhan Chen.


    "What are you being worried about. I am pretty sure that no one has seen me while I am entering your room", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But it is too risky", Shen Ruyan tried to protest. Zhan Chen didn''t give her anymore time as her lips were taken by Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 174 A Pink Night

    "You thug", Shen Ruyan''s cheeks got reddened after Zhan Chen gave her an agressive kiss on her lips.


    "Zhan Chen wait, both of them are here", Shen Ruyan spoke with a blushing look on her face as she tried to struggle free from the clutches of Zhan Chen.


    "I brought them along. It is not our first time any way. Moreover, no one will doubt anything if both of them are present inside your room", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Mmmmm~", Shen Ruyan moaned lightly as Zhan Chen squeezed her half moons with his hand. Her back was perky and bouncy. Zhan Chen nted another kiss on her lips while squeezing her half moons to his heart''s content.


    Shen Ruyan threw away all her reservation as Zhan Chen''s initiatives turned her on. She started to cooperate with Zhan Chen as both of them tasted the nectar from each other''s mouths.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hands to remove her clothes but Shen Ruyan struggled free from his grab. "You two, take down your clothes first. Then only I will take off mine", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    "She is still acting reserved despite all of things we have done together", Zhan Chen shook his head. But he still liked her shy and reserved personality very much.


    Su''er and Ling''er knew their young miss very well. So, they took the initiative to remove their clothes.


    After stripping down thest piece of their clothes, Su''er and Ling''er walked towards Shen Ruyan. Shen Ruyan didn''t resist and let Su''er and Ling''er remove all of her clothes.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon raged after seeing the beautiful bodies of Su''er, Ling''er and Shen Ruyan. Zhan Chen went over and gave a kiss to Ling''er on her lips.


    Su''er knelt over and started to lick the dragon of Zhan Chen with her tongue. Ling''er also joined Su''er after Zhan Chen pulled Shen Ruyan into his embrace. Zhan Chen nted another agressive kiss on Shen Ruyan''s lips and then he moved towards her beautiful peaks.


    "Mmmm~", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen started to suck her peaks with his mouth. Her hand didn''t remain idle as he used it to massage her other peak.


    The pink bud above her peaks stood erect after enduring Zhan Chen''s repeated teasing. Zhan Chen left a teeth mark on her bud as he moved towards her other peak.


    His dragon was already drenched with the saliva of both Su''er and Ling''er. Both of the girls were doing their best in pleasing the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Who wants to be the first?", Zhan Chen looked towards three of them.


    "Young miss", both of the girls said in one single tone. Shen Ruyan blushed after hearing the words of both of her maids.


    Zhan Chen picked up both Su''er and Ling''er with his hands. Then he nted an agressive kiss on each of their lips. Then he picked up Shen Ruyan and princess carried her to the bed.


    Zhan Chen made her bent her legs as he raised them above. Her little sister came into the full view of Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen took a good look at her hidden treasure.


    A small strip of grass was growing atop her cave. Shen Ruyan maintained it well. So, it made the the scenery below her waist more appealing.


    Zhan Chen gulped his saliva a little as he brought his dragon towards entrance of Shen Ruyan''s sacred cave. He didn''t push it inside immediately rather he started to rub the tip of his dragon on her entrance.


    "Nnnn~", Shen Ruyan moaned lightly as Zhan Chen kept teasing her little sister with his dragon. Zhan Chen didn''t want to torment her anymore. So, he pushed his dragon intp the cave of Shen Ruyan.


    "Ahhhhh~", Shen Ruyan moaned as Zhan Chen prated her deeply with a single thrust. He moved his waist slowly but gradually his thrusts grew deeper.


    "Look at young miss", Su''er murmured as nudged Ling''er with her shoulder.


    "Hmm, young miss looks amazing now. Even I feel like doing it after seeing her appearance", Ling''er spoke as she subconsciously moved her hand towards her little sister.


    Su''er could see her desire. So, she streched her hand and moved it towards the cave of Ling''er.


    "Sister Su''er", Ling''er blushed but didn''t offer any resistance. Su''er put her finger on Ling''er''s cave and started to rub it gently.


    "Nnnn~", Ling''er moaned as waves of pleasure started toe from her sacred ce. Zhan Chen could see what both of the girls were doing as the besitial desire inside his mind grew more violent.<sub> </sub>


    He leaned on the body of the Shen Ruyan and started to lick her majestic peaks. His waist continued to move as Shen Ruyan moaned incoherently.


    Her mind went nk as she couldn''t keep up with Zhan Chen''s thrusts. "It ising", she spoke as her body started to tremble gently. Zhan Chen increased his pace and a stream of fragrant water came out from Shen Ruyan''s cave.


    Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her lips and pulled out his dragon from her cave. He left her to rest a bit while his eyes fell upon two naughty girls who were ying with eachother.


    Zhan Chen walked towards Su''er and Ling''er. Despite seeing himing towards them, Su''er didn''t stop what she was doing. There was a yful look on her face as she rubbed her fingers on Ling''er''s cave and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little witch", Zhan Chen smirked at Su''er as he grabbed her mounds with his hand. He pinched the buds on her peaks and enjoyed the look on her face.


    Ling''er blushed after seeing Zhan Chen so close to her while she was still being pleasured by Su''er. Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her lips and reced the fingers of Su''er with his own.


    "Mmmmn~", Ling''er moaned as Zhan Chen started to y with her already sensitive little sister. Zhan Chen continued teasing her with his fingers for a while. Then he picked her up and ced her on the bed.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have to do much as her little sister was already sensitive to extreme. It took few throusts from his dragon before she spurted out a stream of her fragrant water on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen knew it was bound to happen as her tolerance was lowest among her women. He let her go and looked towards the remaining person who was yet to taste the might of his dragon.


    Su''er blushed a little after seeing the evil look of Zhan Chen towards her. But as brave as she was, she didn''t avoid the eyes of Zhan Chen. It was she who took the initiative to walk towards Zhan Chen.


    "Someone is getting bolder", Zhan Chen smirked as he pushed her towards the bed. She put her hands on the edge of the bed to support her body as her back faced the spear of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on Su''er''s cave and thrusted it inside after few moments.


    "Ah~", Su''er let out an enchanting moan and Zhan Chen started to push his dragon deeper inside Su''er''s cave.


    His assault continued even after Su''er announced her surrender with release of her yin water.


    Zhan Chen continued to move domineeringly. His each thrust was relentless and Su''er felt like her soul was flying as waves of pleasure assaulted her mind. Zhan Chen finally gave a deep thrust and a huge amount of yang essence came out of his dragon.


    -------------


    The morning sun rose from the distant peaks of Shredded mountain range and painted the Azure billow town golden with it''s morning rays.


    Zhan Chen stopped cultivating and opened his eyes. He gazed outside from his window and a smile appeared on his face.


    Nanxi is as stubborn as ever. She is still guarding Ruyan despite the presence of sixth stage experts", he thought to himself.


    He stood up and stretched his body a bit. Then he walked towards the door of his room.


    "Young master Chen, good morning", Zhen Wang greeted Zhan Chen as soon as he left the premises of the inn.


    "Good morning, brother Wang", Zhan Chen greeted back Zhen Wang with a smile.


    Zhan Chen continued to chat with Zhen Wang as the other Shen n experts started to gather outside the premises of the inn. Shen Ruyan walked out with Ling''er and Su''er and there was a faint blush appeared on her face as soon as she saw Zhan Chen.


    She managed to hide it away immediately but Zhan Chen managed to see the changes in her face. He looked away with a smile so as not to trouble her.


    Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan also walked out after some time and the only people remained were the sixth stage experts of Shen n. While everyone was looking for them, Zhan Chen knew they were here.


    "Are you sure? Can you confirm that there are no Huo n experts in the vicinity?", elder Yang of Shen n looked towards elder Tong. Elder Tong nodded his head confidently as the source of his confidence was his master.

 Chapter 175 An Invitation

    "Well then, let''s go. Our destination is Hundred fragrance city this time", elder Yang spoke. Elder Tong nodded his head and appeared before the Shen n experts. Then with hismand, Shen n experts started to move out of the Azure billow town.


    Zhan Chen observed the people of Azure billow town while leaving the city. His soul consciousness covered the entire city as he observed each cultivator with his soul consciousness.


    "There is indeed certain difference between the Western region and the Centralnd. This Azure billow town is smaller than the Red cloud city where my Zhan family resides. But the number of cultivators here are almost three times that of Red cloud city", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    No formation in the Azure billow city could impede the soul consciousness of Zhan Chen as he covered the every nook and corner of the Azure billow town with his soul consciousness.


    "What a surprise! There is a peak fifth stage expert in such a small town!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He observed Azure billow town for some more time and withdrew his soul consciousness after leaving the boundaries of Azure billow town.


    "Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu with a smile on his face.


    Li Shu blushed after being caught red handed. Zhan Chen was travelling so close to her. So, her eyes were glued to his face since a while.


    "Young master Chen, thanks for yesterday. My cultivation has improved by a stage", Li Shu spoke.


    "Oh, congrattion then. I have forgot to check your cultivation level. You are now a second stage True essence realm expert", Zhan Chen replied to Li Shu.


    "It is all thanks to you", Li Shu murmured with a shy look on her face. Zhan Chen felt amused afterparing her bold approach in the night and the current shy expression of her. Although it was true that the current nature of Li Shu was the true her.


    Li Yan had a surprised expression stered on her face as she heard the conversation of Li Shu and Zhan Chen. Although she knew about the rise in cultivation of her sister but she thought that it was her own effort. But now she could tell that Zhan Chen was somehow behind the increase in cultivation of her sister.


    "I wonder what is his cultivation now? Is it higher than mine?", Li Yan thought to herself. She looked towards Kai Min who was silently looking towards Zhan Chen and Li Shu with a smile. Her smile was peaceful as she had not a single shread of jealousy inside her mind.


    Zhan Chen greeted Kai Min and she also greeted back Zhan Chen. Their journey was peaceful because no ordinary cultivator could do anything against the sixth stage experts of Shen n.


    But Zhan Chen knew all of this woulde to an end after they reach the Hundred blossom city. They had to part ways from the Shen n experts as their destination would be different after the Hundred blossom city.


    Days passed by in travelling. From the border area, they gradually entered deep inside the Centralnd. The prosperity of the centralnd was way better than the people of other regions.


    There were an enormous number of cultivators present in each city and their overall cultivation levels were higherpared to the cities of western region.


    "No wonder, people called it the holynd of cultivation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    It took five days for their group to reach the Hundred blossom city. It was already afternoon when Zhan Chen and other cultivators of Shen n entered the city gate of Hundred blossom city.


    "Halt! Each person will have to pay five low grade spirit crystals before entering the city", a stern looking guard looked towards the group of Shen n.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t see any trace of fear in the eyes of the city guard. "Looks like their backing is strong enough that they do not fear the fifth stage experts of Shen n", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Elder Tong was unperbuted by the demand of the city guard. He took out a rectangr shaped stone and sent it towards the city guard. "It should be enough for all of us, right?", he looked towards the city guard.


    The city guard gulped a little after seeing the rectangr stone and nodded his head. He stretched his hand and quickly pocketed the rectangr shaped stone.


    But suddenly a suffocating aura came from afar and quickly engulfed the soldier who had received the rectangr stone.


    "Impudence! You dare take advantage of sixth stage experts?", a voice came out and a silhouette appeared in the air near the city gate.


    "Sixth stage experts!", the mind of the soldier went nk after hearing the words of his superior. A fearful look appeared in his eyes as he trembled at his ce.


    "Chain up this bastard and throw him in the prison", the expert in the airmanded. Then he turned to look towards the Shen n cultivators.<sub> </sub>


    "Greetings senior", he bowed towards elder Tong.


    ? "Are you anticipating our arrival?", elder Tong looked towards the fifth stage expert who was floating in the air.


    "Yes senior", the peak fifth stage expert replied.


    "I can guess that much. Our horned lions are an obvious sign of our identity", elder Tong spoke.


    "Senior, our young miss has arranged avish feast for all of you. I will lead you to the city lord''s pce, if you give the permission ", the peak fifth stage expert spoke with a polite expression on his face.


    "Your young miss?", elder Tong looked at the peak fifth stage expert with confusion.


    "Are you talking about big sis Yueyue? Is she here?", the excited voice of Shen Ruyan came from behind.


    "Yes, young miss. She is waiting for you", the peak fifth stage expert replied.


    "Grand uncle Tong, shall we go? I know their young miss", Shen Ruyan looked towards elder Tong.


    Elder Tong had no reason to refuse her. So, he agreed with her request. Thus, the Shen n group followed behind the peak fifth stage expert and walked towards the city lord pce of Hundred blossom city.


    Zhan Chen kept observing the city while going the city lord pce. A path was forced open for them as the travellers who were in their path made to stand at the side by the guards of Hundred blossom city.


    The other travellers who were visiting the Hundred blossom city looked at the group of Shen n with awe because they were being escorted to the city lord pce while still riding their magical beasts. Generally, cultivators who were at Core Condensation realm or below would have to hand over their magical beasts to the city guards before entering the gates of Hundred blossom city but today was an exception to that rule.


    Zhan Chen looked at the crowd with interest as he discovered many Core condensation realm cultivators among crowd. There were also several fifth stage experts who were mixed among the crowd.


    "As expected of a renowned city of centralnd", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He had already gathered information that the Hundred blossom city was one of the biggest cities of earth province. So, he wanted topare the city with his own continent of past life.


    While he was looking at the crowd, the crowd was also observing the group of Shen n experts. But contrary to Zhan Chen''s impartial gaze, their gazes were glued on Kai Min, Li Yan, Ling''er, Su''er and others.


    "One smile from that beauty and I can die happily", a cultivator pointed towards Kai Min.


    "I bet the beauty covering her face is more beautiful", another voice came.


    "Those two beauties are beautiful but they are not my type. I would rather love to have those two sisters", a cultivator spoke with a perverted gaze on his face.


    His gaze was such that even Ling''er and Su''er felt ufortable. Zhan Chen who was observing everything in the surrounding, noticed the covetus gaze of that man.


    Zhan Chen frowned after seeing such a scene. He had no problem with people admiring beauties of his women but he would n''t tolerate any disrespectful behaviour towards them.


    With a thought inside his mind, his soul sense covered the said man. The Core condensation realm expert who was looking at Ling''er and Su''er felt a sudden pressureing towards him.


    Cold sweat started to pour out of the forehead of the man who was looking towards Su''er and Ling''er. An overbearing pain came to his mind as he fell like his soul would break apart.


    Zhan Chen withdrew his soul pressure after some moments but it was enough to scare the Core condensation realm expert. He hurriedly turned away and tried to go as far away as possible.


    Zhan Chen didn''t mind him anymore as he focused his gaze on the beautiful pce at the center of the city.

 Chapter 176 City Lord Of Hundred Blossom City

    Raws of soldiers were lined up at the entrance of the city lord''s pce. They bowed their heads after seeing the peak fifth stage expert who was guiding the Shen n group towards the pce.


    "There should be no problem in your teleportation portal, right?", elder Tong asked the peak fifth stage expert.


    "No senior, there is absolutely no problem with the ancient teleportation portal of our city", the peak fifth stage expert replied.


    He led the Shen n group through a long stairway and finally the Shen n group managed to look at the beautiful pce from a close distance.


    "Greetings senior"


    A beautifuldy was waiting for them at the entrace. She smiled towards Shen Ruyan after greeting elder Tong.


    "Senior, my young miss is the current city lord of Hundred blossom city", the peak fifth stage expert introduced the noble lookingdy to elder Tong.


    "Are you somehow rted to Lord Baimei?", elder Yang chose to appear as he threw a curious nce towards the beautiful city lord of the Hundred blossom city.


    "Greetings senior. Please receive this bow from Yueyue", the city lord bowed her head towards elder Yang.


    Elder Yang nodded his head but he still looked towards city lord Yueyue as he was looking for the answer of his question.


    "Senior, your are correct. She is the great grand daughter of lord Baimei", the peak fifth stage expert answered the question of elder Yang for her.


    -----------------


    "Girl, you have grown big", city lord Yueyue looked towards Shen Ruyan who was sitting inside her room.


    "Big sis, it has been only half an year since we havest met. So, how can I grow big in such a shorter life span?", Shen Ruyan shook her head. She didn''t notice the teasing eyes of city lord Yueyue while replying to her remark.


    "I didn''t mean you yourself has grown big. What I mean is....", city lord Yueyue pointed towards a certain part of Shen Ruyan which was indeed bigger than before.


    Shen Ruyan blushed immediately after understanding what city lord Yueyue meant. Her cheeks flushed red as she threw a charming re towards city lord Yueyue.


    "Big sis, I am not sure whether I have changed or not but you remain the same hooligan as before", Shen Ruyan spoke. City lord Yueyue giggled after hearing the words of Shen Ruyan.


    Even though she wasughing and teasing Shen Ruyan, her noble demeanor didn''t reduce at all. Every single movement of her body had a certain charming aura about it.


    "Big sis, this is what I am most envious about you. No one knows you are such a delinquent behind your beautiful appearance", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    She talked with city lord Yueyue for a while but when she chose to leave her room, city lord Yueyue looked towards Shen Ruyan as if she had forgotten something.


    "Big sis, what is it?", Shen Ruyan felt confused.


    "Girl, don''t think you can fool me. Tell me who is he?", city lord Yueyue looked towards Shen Ruyan.


    <o>,m A flustered expression appeared on her face for a moment but she managed to control her emotion within a split second.<sub> </sub></o>


    "Big sis, it is not that I am hiding anything from you but I can''t really tell you anything at this moment. Please give me some more time. I will tell you everything at that point", Shen Ruyan spoke.


    City lord Yueyue nodded her head but a thoughtful expression appeared on her beautiful face after Shen Ruyan left. "Who is it that managed to win Ruyan''s heart?", city lord Yueyue murmured to herself. What she didn''t know was the fact that the culprit was currently living inside her pce.


    Avish feast was arranged for the Shen n group in the city lord''s pce. There were some unique dishes which were native to the central region of Northern desert continent. The warriors of Shen n and Zhan Chen enjoyed the feast to their hearts'' content.


    After the feast, the Shen n group rested for a while. They chose to leave when day break approached the Hundred blossom city.


    "Zhan Chen, we are leaving", Shen Ruyan bade her farewell to Zhan Chen inside his room. Su''er and Ling''er also had reluctant looks on their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Girls, what is with your looks? You are only going for some days. You will probably join me once the Grand sectpetetion starts", Zhan Chen spoke with aforting tone to Ling''er and Su''er.


    "Both of you can stay with Zhan Chen if you want", Shen Ruyan looked towards both of her maids. Both of them shook their heads as they bid their farewell to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nted a kiss on each of their foreheads before they left his room.


    Zhan Chen apained the Shen n warriors to the ancient teleportation portal. Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan also apanied him as all of them wanted to bid their farewell to the Shen n group.


    The ancient teleportation portal was arranged on a circr tform which lied next to the southern boundary of Hundred blossom city. There wereplex diagrams drawn upon the circr tform.


    Elder Yang of Shen n took out some rectangr looking stones from his spatial ring and ced the rectangr stones in the middle of the stone tform.


    The ancient diagrams lit up in brilliance as elder Tong led the Shen n group to the stone tform. Ling''er waved her hand towards Zhan Chen, Kai Min and others and Su''er also did the same.


    All of their figures disappeared after they entered the range of the ancient diagrams on the stone tform. The tform list it''s brilliance after it consumed the energy stored inside the stone.


    "Young master Chen, what should we do next?", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Let''s look for an inn first. It will be impolite if we continue to stay in the city lord''s pce", Zhan Chen replied.


    Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan agreed to his suggestion as they followed behind Zhan Chen to enter the city.


    "Boss, we want four rooms for us to stay", Zhan Chen spoke to a middle aged man who was the innkeeper of Serene wood inn.


    "Three low grade spirit crystal for each. Tell me first how many days you want to stay inside our inn?", the middle aged innkeeper looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Probably next two to three days", Zhan Chen spoke. He took out a handful of spirit crystals and handed it to the middle aged man before he could calcte the price of their stays.


    "Wait, I will pay mine", Li Yan spoke after Zhan Chen handed over the spirit crystals to the middle aged innkeeper. Zhan Chen threw a nce towards Li Yan who was looking at him stubbornly.


    "Do as you please. You can give him extra spirit crstals if you don''t want me to pay for your staying", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Yan stood undecided for a while but she didn''t pay any extra amounts to the middle aged man.


    The middle aged innkeeper pocketed the spirit crystals quickly and led the group of Zhan Chen towards their rooms.

 Chapter 177 A Stunned City Lord

    "Snow province, Luan province, Earth province, Dragon province, Cloud province. The centralnd is made up of five provinces", Zhan Chen murmured to himself as he observed the map of the centralnd.


    The map was given to him by elder Tong before he left with the Shen n group. Zhan Chen had already received a lot of memories rted to the centralnd from elder Tong but he still decided to take the map from him.


    Because he knew that a sixth stage expert was not almighty despite being powerful. What a sixth stage expert could observe was limited and there would still be many people and ces which were beyond the power of a sixth stage expert.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and found Kai Min, Li Yan was cultivating. Li Shu was somewhat restless but she was still trying to cultivate seriously.


    Zhan Chen didn''t want to disturb them. So, he chose to cultivate. This time his priority was his sword as he had never given any effort in cultivating his sword.


    As a proud sword cultivator himself, he knew what a sword meant for a sword cultivator. He had neglected his path for so long in this life. So, he didn''t want to neglect his sword for much longer.


    He took out his sword "Devour" from it''s sheath and sat crosslegged. His sword rested on both of his palms as he entered into a meditative state.


    ''What is a sword?'' Without understanding it, how could one call himself a sword cultivator. Sword is not only a simple killing tool but it is the symbol of one''s conviction. A symbol of Power which one wields to protect those whom he holds dear to his heart.


    What a cultivator hold dear to his heart may be different. It may be people, may be objects, may be nts or animals or may be his dignity and respect but what do not change the fact that he holds sword for protecting something.


    The understanding of sword shed by inside his mind as Zhan Chen started to cultivate with his sword. After recalling his own understanding, he followed through to the next step, which wasmunicating with his sword.


    ----------------


    City lord Yueyue was cultivating peacefully in the morning when she heard a knock on her door. A frown appeared on her face as she heard the knocking sound again.


    "Who ever it is, you better have a good exnation", she murmured with irritation and walked towards the door.


    "Elder Sima, what is it?", city lord Yueyue looked towards the peak fifth stage expert with irritation.


    "Young miss, it is urgent", the peak fifth stage expert pointed towards a nearby direction with his eyes.


    City lord Yueyue followed the gaze of Elder Sima and saw a robust cultivaor standing at a certain distance. He was wearing a heavy looking golden coloured armour and there was a long spear in his hand.


    "Golden guards!", city lord Yueyue muttered with surprise.


    "Lan Yueyue. I have not seen you since you are a kid", the golden armoured cultivator smiled towards city lord Yueyue.


    "Senior, what brings you here?", city lord Yueyue asked the golden armoured cultivator.


    "It is a message from the capital", the golden armoured guard replied as he took out a scroll from his spatial ring.


    "A blue scroll!", city lord Yueyue looked towards the golden armoured guard with surprise.


    "Girl, the message in the blue scroll is confidential. So, you must not share the content with anyone", the golden armoured guard spoke.


    "Senior, rest assure. I know what to do", city lord Yueyue replied.<sub> </sub>


    She invited the golden armoured guard to rest in the pce but the golden armoured guard denied politely. He bid his farewell to city lord Yueyue and walked towards the outside of the pce.


    "Young miss, what message is so important that a golden armoured guard need to send it?", the peak fifth stage expert asked.


    "Elder Sima, have you never heard of blue scroll and violet scroll?", Lan Yueyue looked towards the peak fifth stage expert.


    Elder Sima shook his head and looked towards her with confusion all over his face.


    City lord Yueyue spoke some words about the gradation of scrolls and execused herself as she wanted to see the message inside the blue scroll.


    ''News hase from the western region. An ancient remnant had appeared in the Shredded mountain province few days ago. Numerous cultivators had gone inside and they confirmed that it was the remnant of Cleansing Incense ancient sect.


    Fire marquis tried to enter but he couldn''t seed. The remnant vanished on its own after all the cultivators came out from its inside.


    Besides, Cleansing Incense ancient sect, the major thing to note is Zhan Chen who may be the descendant of ancient Zhan n.


    He is only eighteen years old. Yet, he has shown astonishing abilities inside the Cleaning incense ancient sect and is traveling with the Shen n cultivators now.


    The intention of this message is to warn everyone about him as it will be best to not antagonize the ancient Zhan n.''


    "Zhan n! Zhan Chen!", Lan Yueyue muttered after reading the message written inside the scroll. He rolled the scroll and ced it inside her spatial ring. Then she went out of her room to find the peak fifth stage expert.


    The peak fifth stage expert was still standing outside her room. He walked towards Lan Yueyue after seeing her walking out.


    "Elder Sima, Are the young cultivators traveling with Shen n still inside the city?", Lan Yueyue looked towards the peak fifth stage expert.


    "Yes miss, I am keeping tab on them. Afterall we have to ensure their safety due to their rtionship with Shen n", elder Sima replied.


    Lan Yueyue nodded her head and spoke,


    "We have to ensure their safety while they are staying inside the Hundred blossom city. After they leave the city, it is none of our business".


    "Elder Sima, one more thing. Gather all the details about the person named Zhan Chen who had visited us along with the Shen n warriors. Be careful. Our identity should not be leaked while gathering the information", Lan Yueyue spoke. Elder Sima nodded his head as he took a note of Zhan Chen''s name inside his mind.


    Time passed by like the floating wind. Elder Sima visited Lan Yueyue when it was evening of next day.


    "Young miss, you can take a look at this. This Zhan Chen is really interesting", elder Sima spoke while handling out a scroll to Lan Yueyue.


    "Oh, let me have a look", city lord Yueyue spoke. A look of amazement appeared in her eyes as she red through the content of the scroll.


    ''Capable of fighting Core condensation realm experts. Have participated in the battle between Martial ascension realm experts. Killed a Martial ascension realm expert after catching him off-guard with his tamed fourth tier snakes'', city lord Yueyue felt speechless for a moment after reading the information regarding Zhan Chen.


    "How unbelievable. A mere eighteen year old young man can achieve such things. Moreover, looks like he fought for Ruyan and killed the younger brother of Lu Wentian!", she murmured to herself.

 Chapter 178 Celestial Night

    "Are they still inside the city?", Lan Yueyue looked towards elder Sima.


    "Yes, young miss. They are still inside the Serene wood inn", the peak fifth stage expert replied.


    "It has been two days since they are staying there. What are they doing inside that inn?", Lan Yueyue raised her eyebrows.


    "Probably cultivation", elder Yang guessed.


    "Keep an eye on them. Inform me if they leave the inn. I want to see for myself what is so special about this Zhan Chen", Lan Yueyue spoke.


    "Yes young miss", elder Sima replied. He left the ce after bowing his head towards Lan Yueyue.


    -------------


    "Is something wrong with young master Chen?", Li Shu looked towards Kai Min worriedly.


    Kai Min also had a worried expression on her face as she looked towards the closed door of Zhan Chen.


    "He would have informed us if he is going for a long term seclusion", Kai Min spoke.


    "Have some patience you two. It has been only five days. We will check on him after another few days", Li Yanforted both Li Shu and Kai Min.


    Li Shu and Kai Min nodded their heads but they didn''t insist on checking the room of Zhan Chen anymore. Li Yan didn''t know that her unintentional words saved Zhan Chen from a cultivation deviation.


    Zhan Chen was still meditating while holding his sword in his hands. There was a certain glow on the sword now which lit Zhan Chen''s room with a faint light.


    After his persistent try, Zhan Chen finally managed to establish a connection with his sword.The connection was faint but Zhan Chen still felt it was worth it after considering how unique the sword was.


    Now, it was the time for naming ceremony of the sword after establishing a connection with it. "I wonder if you are happy with the name written on top of you or you need a new name", Zhan Chen murmured inside his mind. He was trying to get a response from his sword.


    He didn''t receive any reply immediately but he was patient. He knew such process need extreme concentration and patience.


    Zhan Chen kept persisting on his attempt tomunicate with his sword. He kept trying and an extremely feeble thought came to his mind after sometime.


    "You do not like your current name?", Zhan Chen could somehow understand the thoughts of his sword.


    The sword shook slightly as if it was trying to say ''Yes''.


    "The name is too simple!", Zhan Chen could somehow understand the next thought of his sword. The sword shook again as if it was trying to say that the guess of Zhan Chen was right.


    ''Devour, is indeed a tasteless name for a sword'', Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    "So, it is my turn now, right?", Zhan Chen keptmunicating with his sword.


    .


    .


    .


    "How about Heavenpiercer?"


    .


    "Skyruler?"<sub> </sub>


    .


    "Nethermaster?",


    Zhan Chen kept trying various imposing names but he could tell that his sword disliked all of these names. It was not exactly dislike, it was disdain. Even such imposing names were not enough to be his proud sword''s name.


    "Damn it, I give up. I can''t think of anymore name which can satisfy you", Zhan Chen spoke with frustration after trying more than hundred names.


    He sat silently for some moments as he was not sure what to do at this point.


    "Why are you so haughty? Can''t you obediently pick one of the names I have given? The way you are behaving, one would think that you are one of those celestial treasures from legends", Zhan Chenined inside his mind.


    But what he didn''t expect was, a positive response from his sword after hearing thein inside his mind.


    "You like the word celestial?", Zhan Chen muttered in a surprised voice inside his mind. His sword shook in response as it tried to covey it''s thoughts to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could tell that it was feeling cheerful after hearing the word celestial. The word somehow resonated with the spirit of the sword.


    "Your nature is somehow dark and you have a lustrous ck colour. Then how about calling you ''Celestial night''?", Zhan Chen proposed inside his mind.


    p The sword in his hand shook violently in response to his words. A cheerful sword hum came and the sound was clear to everyone in the Serene wood inn. Zhan Chen hurriedly covered the entire area with his soul consciousness because he didn''t want to alert the experts staying inside the city.</anda>


    Zhan Chen was taken aback by the changes in his sword. One after another changes happened and he kept looking at his sword with a surprised expression on his face.


    His sword escaped his hands and floated into the air on its own. The body of the sword shimmered with bright light and the word devour started to disappear on its own.


    Sacred looking ancient symbols came out of thin air as they imprinted themselves on the body of Zhan Chen''s sword.


    Zhan Chen had never seen such symbols but he could tell that what those symbols represent were celestial night. Beside the name of the sword there were some other symbols but he had no inkling about the meaning of those extra symbols.


    Zhan Chen felt a connection was established between his soul and the sword after the symbols imprinted themselves on Celestial night.


    This connection was not merely of a sword and it''s master. It was something deeper as if the sword spirit had entrusted it''s everything to him.


    Zhan Chen had no control of what was going on with him and the sword. Even the connection between his soul and the sword spirit was not his doing.


    The things that were happening too magical for him even though he was a former sage with vast experience about the cultivation world. The changes in the Celestial nightsted for a while.


    Then the sword body became ethereal infront of Zhan Chen''s eyes and its size grew smaller. It flew towards Zhan Chen after finishing it''s transformation and circled around him for a while.


    Zhan Chen could link it''s behaviour to the curiousity of a child. It circled around him for sometime and plunged into Zhan Chen''s body when Zhan Chen spread his hand to grab it.


    Zhan Chen tried to call it out with his soul consciousness but only thing he could hear was a soft snoring sound.


    "What the hell? This Celestial night is too mystical", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    ''Forget it. I have to talk with my girls. They seems to be too anxious about my safety", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He pushed open his door and came out. Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan were waiting for him outside the door.


    What Zhan Chen didn''t know was that his sword had entered the diagram world inside his mind after entering his body. The diagram was a separate space in itself. So, Zhan Chen didn''t know what was going on with Celestial night. The sword''s body changed after entering the diagram world. A little beauty appeared in the ce of the sword as she fell into a deep sleep after entering the diagram world inside the mind of Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 179 A Conversation

    "Young master Chen, are you alright?", Li Shu asked with a worried tone in her voice. Kai Min also had a worried look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Why are you two looking so worried? Am not I just fine?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min and Li Shu with a smile on his face.


    He also noticed Li Yan and the worried expression on her face. She tried to change her expression but it couldn''t escape his eyes. Zhan Chen felt slightly surprised and looked towards her.


    Li Yan felt flustered after seeing Zhan Chen smiling towards her. She hurriedly avoided looking at him and bade her farewell to Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "This girl is rather strange", Zhan Chen thought to himself after seeing the quick escape of Li Yan.


    He took some time to coax both Li Shu and Kai Min as both of them were clearly worried about him in these few days. It didn''t take much time before a smile appeared on both of their faces.


    "Okay, we can talk while we are in our way. Go and tell your sister to get ready. We will leave the Serene wood inn after an hour", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu.


    Li Shu nodded her head and went towards Li Yan''s room. Kai Min also bade her farewell to Zhan Chen as she went towards her own room.


    A contemtive look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he sent both Li Shu and Kai Min to their rooms. "Five provinces, each provinces are bigger than the provinces of western region. Where we are now is called Earth province. We have to travel through the Earth province and enter the Cloud province which lies in the southern part of the centralnd", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He was already aware about the geographically important locations of Centralnd. The Centralnd was made up of Snow province, Luan province, Earth province, Dragon province and Cloud province. The grand sectpetition would be held on Cloud province. So, he and his group had to travel southward to enter the Cloud province.


    --------------


    "Young miss, they have left the Serene wood inn".


    "Where are they now?", Lan Yueyue asked.


    "They have entered a nearby restaurant", elder Sima replied.


    "Well then. Follow me to that restaurant. I want to see for myself how capable that brat is", Lan Yueyue spoke. Elder Sima nodded his head and apained city lord Yueyue towards the outside of the pce.


    Both him and city lord Yueyue covered their faces with two in looking masks because they didn''t want to disclose their identities to public. They came out of the pce sneakily and their departure didn''t cause any rm in the ranks of the city guards.


    Zhan Chen was currently sitting inside a nearby restaurant with Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. A long journey was ahead. So, all of them wanted to have a nice meal before starting their journey.


    Zhan Chen noticed both city lord Yueyue and the peak fifth stage expert with his soul consciousness even before they entered the perimeter of the restaurant. But he pretended like not seeing anything and continued to eat with Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Young miss, there he is", elder Sima pointed towards the direction of Zhan Chen''s group after entering the restaurant.


    "Let''s meet them", Lan Yueyue spoke and walked towards the direction of Zhan Chen''s table.


    "These two are here for us. I wonder what is their purpose", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he avoided looking towards city lord Yueyue and elder Sima.


    "Excuse me, young master. Will you share your table with me?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen after walking next to him.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen gave a meaningful look to Lan Yueyue and spoke, "There is no problem at all. Moreover it is a bonus for me as another beauty joins me in myunch", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master is ttering me", Lan Yueyue replied with a smile. She felt slightly amused after hearing the praises of Zhan Chen who was many years younger than her.


    "Three young miss, is there any problem if I share the table with you?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan.


    "No problem", Li Yan replied inly.


    "Big sis, you are wee", Li Shu replied with a smile. Kai Min didn''t speak anything but she moved her legs a little to make space for Lan Yueyue.


    "Thanks for your hospitality", Lan Yueyue spoke as she sat opposite to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t speak anything to start the conversation as he wanted to see the purpose of city lord Yueyue in meeting him.


    "Young master, have youe from the Western region?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yes", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "You have entered the remnant of Cleansing incense ancient sect and battled with the Lu family there, am I right?", Lan Yueyue spoke further.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head again and pretended as if he was surprised after hearing the words of Lan Yueyue.


    "How do you know all of this?", Zhan Chen pretended to be surprised and asked city lord Yueyue. But inwardly he was feeling amused because he wanted to see what game the beautiful city lord wanted to y with him.


    "I have my own sources. Moreover, your name is already popr because you dare to kill the younger brother of Lu Wentian", Lan Yueyue spoke.


    "Miss, is this Lu Wentian powerful?", Kai Min intervened in the conversation between Zhan Chen and Lan Yueyue.


    "Have you never heard of Lu Wentian before?", Lan Yueyue looked towards the group of Zhan Chen with a surprised look in her face.


    She didn''t receive any answer but from the nk looks of Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min, she got her answer. Contrary to the girls, Zhan Chen had a calm expression in his face. He could already guess the purpose of Lan Yueyue. So, he didn''t need to pretend anymore.


    Zhan Chen could guess that she was here to examine him. He let her do what she pleased because he could tell that she had no malicious intention.


    Their conversationssted for an entire hour. Lan Yueyue stood up to leave after having a brief conversation with Li, Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Tell me one thing. You and Shen Ruyan ..?", she looked towards Zhan Chen before leaving her seat.


    "She is my woman", Zhan Chen replied in a soft yet firm voice.


    A satisfied smile appeared on Lan Yueyue''s face as she walked out of the restaurant but what she didn''t know that a same kind of smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after she left the restaurant.


    ''I wonder if the technique will work on her. It is my first time using the Soul seed technique on a woman. If everything goes well then she will look for me within few days", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 180 An Interesting Pet

    "Young master seems little evil", Li Shu murmured to herself after seeing the look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Zhan Chen had no design on city lord Yueyue as he was too busy in nning out their journey to Cloud province. But the beautiful city lord chose to appear on her own and Zhan Chen was not one who would admit defeat without even trying.


    ''The Soul seed technique is not an evil technique at all. It will only make her think about me more often. If she can hold her curiousity and stop thinking about me, then the effect of technique will disappear'', Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    ''But if she feels curious about me and thinks about me, then the effect of the technique will strengthen and gradually she couldn''t think anything else except me. The cure to such a technique is obviously dual cultivation. I wonder what will she choose'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Young master Chen, what should we do? The backing of Lu Wentian is too scary", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen with a worried look on her face.


    Zhan Chen stopped thinking about city lord Yueyue after hearing the words of Kai Min. He looked at the other two and both Li Yan and Li Shu also had worried look on their faces.


    Previously, they didn''t know that Lu Wentian was one of the choosen inheritors of Heavenly sword sect. But now that they had learned about it from city lord Yueyue, they could not stop thinking about it.


    "Girls, rx. Situation is not that drastic like what you are imagining. Heavenly sword sect is mighty but I have no fear for them. I will face what wille towards me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "We have to avoid attracting attention towards us. We just need toplete our journey and reach the cloud province. I don''t think Heavenly sword sect can do anything to us once we registered ourselves for the Grand sectpetition", Li Yan spoke.


    "Then we should avoid big cities like the Hundred blossom city. We can go through smaller towns and that will reduce the risk of being detected", Kai Min spoke.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know what to say anymore as all of them were clearly concerned about his safety. Li Yan was also worried about him and Zhan Chen''s impression of her became better with each interaction.


    All of them acted with cautious and walked out of the city gate of Hundred blossom city when it was already evening. Zhan Chen was speechless after seeing their cautiousness but he couldn''t do anything about it as all of their actions was to protect him.


    "We do not take horses from the Hundred blossom city. Now how should we travel? We can''t possibly walk all the way to the Cloud province", Kai Min looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It will be best if we have a flying treasure. We are only four persons. So, a small scale flying treasure would be the most suitable for us to travel", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No, it is too risky to fly in a flying treasure as that will attract attention towards us. Moreover, we are not yet capable to buy a flying treasure for ourselves", Li Yan spoke.


    Then I have another nning. We just need to get near to wilderness and I will get ourselves some tire fourth magical beasts", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "That is a good idea", Li Yan agreed as all of them followed Zhan Chen towards the nearby wilderness which lied at the south of the Hundred blossom city.


    "Young master Chen, please pick a beautiful magical beast for me. I don''t want to ride another ugly beast like horned lion", Li Shu spoke.


    "Kai Min, what magical beast do you want?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min.


    "Anything will do. Stay safe first. It does not matter even if you tame some third tier magical beasts instead of fourth tiers", Kai Min replied.


    Li Yan also didn''t have any specific requirement for magical beast. So, Zhan Chen only had to keep in mind about Li Shu''s request and pick three random magical beasts for Kai Min, Li Yan and himself.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen bade them farewell and entered the wilderness. He spread his soul consciousness and find many types of magical beasts in the wilderness of Hundred blossom city.


    Compared to Shredded mountain range, the wilderness of Hundred blossom city wascking in powerful magical beasts. Zhan Chen had to look for a while before he could find a suitable tire fourth magical beast.


    It was a Shadow panther resting on top of a huge tree. Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing it''szy appearance. It was waving it''s tell and looking towards a group of tire one rabbits with interest in it''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen sent his soul consciousness towards it and the Shadow panther paralyzed due to fear after feeling the tyrannical aura of a sage realm soul consciousness.


    It didn''t take time for it to be be obedient as it rubbed it''s head on the chest of Zhan Chen fondly. Only after suppressing it, Zhan Chen found out that it was a female. Moreover, it had its own speciality which astounded him.


    His luck with females continued as his pets were also turning into females. Zhan Chen didn''t know whether tough or cry after seeing the fondness of Shadow panther towards him.


    He told it to guide him towards the other tier fourth magical beasts and the Shadow panther happily led him towards the other magical beasts. Zhan Chen picked three tire fourth magical beasts and came out of the wilderness.


    "Look, young master Chen is back", Li Shu spoke with excitement in her eyes.


    "He is out already!", Li Yanmented with surprise and looked towards the direction of wilderness.


    Another three magical beasts emerged behind him after Zhan Chen rode out of the wilderness. Li Yan felt a peculiar feeling that the shadow panther of Zhan Chen had a hostile look in its eyes while looking towards her.


    "Choose among the other two because the Golden eyed dear will go to Li Shu", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Thank you young master", Li Shu spoke happily as she went to check her magical beast.


    The other two magical beasts for Kai Min and Li Yan were not too shabby and both of them felt satisfied with their own magical beasts. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing them trying tomunicate with their own magical beasts.


    Zhan Chen ordered the magical beasts to cooperate with his girls and the three of them became more happy after seeing their magical beasts bing more responsive.


    "Young master Chen, are you sure that you have tamed your magical beast?", Li Yan looked towards Zhan Chen. After the initial awkwardness, she was not shy of talking with Zhan Chen.


    "Why? Has you noticed something?", Zhan Chen looked towards her with a smile.


    "It seems to be more spiritual than the other three tier fourth magical beasts", Li Yan replied.


    "You are correct. I have noticed her peculiarity only after taming it. She is not an ordinary magical beast rather a noble beast", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "She?", Li Yan eximed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. A proud look appeared on the Shadow panther''s eyes after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Li Yan felt speechless after seeing it''s almost human like emotion.

 Chapter 181 Sinister Intention

    "Young master, what is a noble beast?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with curiosity in her eyes.


    A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after hearing Li Shu''s curious voice. He looked towards Kai Min and she also seemed to be curious about this matter.


    "Have you girls never heard of noble beasts?", Zhan Chen looked towards the trio of Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan. All of them shook their heads as it was their first time hearing about such a term rted to magical beasts.


    "Noble beasts are rather special in the world of magical beasts. Even the beast lords'' have to respect the noble beasts because of their background and talent.


    Their bloodline is special because one of their parents has already crossed the mortal boundary and be one of the revered beast sovereign",


    Zhan Chen exined.


    "Beast sovereign!", a jolt ran through the spines of all three of them as they looked towards the Shadow panther with fearful eyes. Because all of them knew, what the term ''Beast sovereign'', represented.


    Beast sovereigns were the supreme creature among the magical beasts and they could easily rival the strongest existences of the human world. Now that heir of such an existence was among them, all three of them became apprehencive.


    "There is no need to fear it. Because it seems like it''s parents are missing", Zhan Chen spoke as he rubbed the head of the shadow panther. A look of mncholy appeared in the eyes of the shadow panther after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan could tell that Zhan Chen was telling the truth after seeing the look on the face of the shadow panther.


    They resumed their journey after Zhan Chen arranged the magical beasts for each of them. They rode nonstop and it was only at the afternoon of next day that they chose to stop.


    "Young master, shall we take a break?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with an expectant gaze.


    Zhan Chen could not say no to such a simple request of her. So, all of them finally decided to take a rest after a day of nonstop travelling.


    "Young master Chen, we should stay here for today''s night. Ahead of is a vast forest and we shouldn''t go though it during the night", Li Yan spoke.


    She was holding the map that elder Tong had given to Zhan Chen and her eyes were focused on the outlines of the map. The map was a magical treasure itself as it''s size would be erged inside the mind of the viewer after channeling essence energy into it.


    "Well, it will not hurt to take some rest. We can resume our travelling after tomorrow", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    A smile crept into the lips of Li Yan after hearing Zhan Chen''s consent. She felt pleased to herself as she came down from her mount and looked at the map for further study.


    "Big sis Yan, is there any stream nearby? We can wash ourselves before taking a rest", Li Shu looked towards Li Yan.


    "Let me look", Li Yan spoke as she tried to search for a stream in the the map given to her by Zhan Chen. She shook her head after few moments as the map had not recorded such minute details.


    A disappointed look appeared on the face of Li Shu as she turned to look at the direction of Zhan Chen.


    "Yi...., where is young master?", she eximed after not finding Zhan Chen in the vicinity.


    "Young master has left as soon as we dismounted", Kai Min informed them.


    -----------------


    "Are you sure there is no problem in themunication tailsman?", a bald headed cultivator looked towards hispanion.


    "There shouldn''t be any problem. After all, I have used a profound grade tailsman to notify the elder", hispanion replied.


    Both of them stood silently for a while. After sometime, they felt something and turned their heads to look behind.


    Two cultivators were approaching them rapidly with breathtaking speed. "Is not the other person elder Huo?", one of the cultivator eximed.


    "Indeed, elder Huo ising with elder Zhou. It is a surprise!", the bald headed cultivator replied.<sub> </sub>


    "Tire four magical beasts and three top notch beauties. One of them is still has her primordial yin intact. It is guaranteed that we will gain merit points after getting back to the sect", thepanion of the bald headed cultivator spoke. The bald headed cultivator nodded his head as a dighted expression appeared on his face.


    "Elder Huo"


    "Elder Zhuo", the two cultivators bowed immediately after seeing the two flying cultivators.


    "You are Lian Chengyu, right?", elder Huo looked towards the bald headed cultivator.


    "Yes elder",the bald headed man nodded his head in delight.


    "You have done well. I will allow you to choose a suitable cultivation resource after we get back to the sect", Elder Huo spoke.


    "Where are they?", elder Zhuo asked impatiently. A tyrannical soul consciousness came out from him and spread to the nearby surrounding.


    "Brother Zhuo, stop. There are tier four magical beasts with them. They can sense your soul consciousness and may alert their masters", elder Huo kept his hand on the shoulder of elder Zhuo to stop him.


    "Then what do you propose?", elder Zhuo looked towards elder Huo.


    "There is no need to bother the tier four magical beasts. Our main target is the girl whose primordial yin is still intact", elder Huo spoke.


    "What about the other two girls?", elder Zhuo frowned.


    "Brother Zhuo, rx. We should focus on our main task first. You can take both of them after weplete our mission", elder Huo spoke.


    "p, p, p", suddenly pping sound came from a distance. The conversation between elder Huo and elder Zhuo abruptly stopped after hearing the pping sound.


    Zhan Chen emerged from the behind of a nearby tree as he slowly walked towards elder Huo and elder Zhuo.


    "Who are you?", Elder Zhuo asked as the emergence of Zhan Chen ringed a sound of crisis inside his mind.


    "Elder, he is the boy who has been traveling with those three beautiful girls", the bald headed cultivator spoke.


    "Why can''t I see through his cultivation?", elder Huo frowned after checking Zhan Chen with his soul consciousness.


    "I wonder what are you nning with Li Yan? Moreover, you seems to have design on Li Shu and Kai Min?", Zhan Chen looked towards elder Zhou. There was no obvious facial expression on his face. So, no one could say whether he was angry or simply curious.


    "Why should we reply you? Moreover, your fate is sealed as you havee across us", elder Huo spoke.


    "Is that so?", Zhan Chen looked towards elder Huo.


    "Just a puny fifth stage expert. And you seems to be too overconfident in your ability", Zhan Chen looked at elder Zhou coldly.


    "Looks like you have got no otherpanion. It is time to wrap this up", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Brat, don''t utter too much nonsense to confuse us. Take this and stop your mouth", elder Huo spoke.


    He threw an essence palm towards Zhan Chen and it rapidly flew towards the chest region of Zhan Chen. Elder Zhou also took out his scimitar and sliced towards Zhan Chen.


    Suddenly, a frightening roar came from the behind of Zhan Chen. It was the shadow panther who seemed to be enraged after seeing the attack on Zhan Chen.


    It moved with a breathtaking speed and before Zhan Chen could do anything, it collided with the two attacks of elder Zhuo and elder Huo.

 Chapter 182 The Redwood Forest

    "How is this possible?", elder Huo and elder Zhou eximed in same time after their attacks collided with the ws of the shadow panther.


    The shadow pather waspletely unscathed even after taking the attacks of two of them. A fourth tier magical beast stopping their full power attack! Elder Huo and elder Zhou looked at the shadow panther with shock in their eyes.


    Zhan Chen looked at the shadow panther with interest in his eyes. An astonished expression appeared in his face after observing the shadow panther for a few moments.


    It was because faint golden stripes had started to appear on it''s pitch ck body. It''s eyes had turned golden and there was a golden luster on it''s sharp ws.


    "Interesting", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    Elder Huo and Elder Zhou became taciturn after seeing the furious beast infront of them.


    "Brother Huo, how should we deal with this beast?", elder Zhou looked towards elder Huo.


    "We need to change our n a bit. I will go bring that girl while you keep this beast busy", elder Huo spoke.


    Elder Zhou nodded his head as the n seemed usible to him. Elder Huo took a look at the bald headed cultivator and hispanion and turned to move towards the location of Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "A good nning but you have to ask me before leaving", Zhan Chen spoke as he used Cloud chasing steps and went towards elder Huo.


    "Brat, you are courting death", elder Huo became enraged after being interrupted. He stopped in his path andunched a palm strike towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen easily avoided the palm attack of elder Huo as he closed the gap between them. He channeled essence energy into his palm and swung his fingers towards elder Huo.


    Five thin energy des came out of his finger and bombarded the body of elder Huo. Elder Huo tried to defend hurriedly but he could only defend against two energy des. Other three energy des went past his defence and three deep cuts appeared on his body.


    Elder Zhou wanted to intervene but the shadow panther lunged towards him after seeing his attacking stance. A fierce battle ensured between two pairs as the bald cultivator and hispanion turned into spectators for a few moments. Zhan Chen was keeping an eye on the shadow panther as he wouldn''t allow it to be harmed while fighting for him.


    The bald cultivator and hispanion wanted to join the fight but three other fourth tier magical beasts appeared infront of them. It was Zhan Chen who directed the three beasts to join the fight after seeing Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min in the distance.


    ----------------


    "Young master, you are amazing", Li Shu chirped after Zhan Chen returned to their side.


    "No, the the most amazing is her", Zhan Chen pointed towards the shadow panther. It had already fallen asleep after flighting elder Zhou.


    "She is indeed amazing because herst attack managed to fatally wound the fifth stage cultivator", Li Yan spoke.


    "But the one who I find inconceivable is you", Li Yan added further.


    "Young master is always amazing", Li Shu beamed from the side because no matter how surprising the deed was, it was possible if it involved her young master. Li Shu had such blind beleive and love for Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t allow their group to stay in the earlier decided ce because he didn''t want to fight with the power behind elder Zhou and elder Huo at this moment. A peak sixth stage cultivator was involved in this matter. So, Zhan Chen didn''t want to take the risk.<sub> </sub>


    Their travel resumed after the shadow panther woke up in the evening. They traveled while being alert as a dense forest appeared infront of them.


    "Young master Chen, are you sure that we should venture into this forest now?", Li Yan asked. Her hesitation stemmed from the fact that the forest ahead was one of the biggest forest of the earth province.


    "We have already travelled through the Shredded mountain range. So, what is merely a Redwood forest for us?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan.


    Li Yan didn''t speak further as she was assured by the confident look on Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen gave the order and the four magical beasts entered the Redwood forest infront of them.


    The group of Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min didn''t know that Zhan Chen''s prompt action managed to avoid a major crisis for them. Because sixth stage cultivators started to appear after they didn''t hear from elder Huo and elder Zhou even after it was mid night.


    The journey in the Redwood forest was smoother than what Li Yan had imagined. The shadow panther was with them. So, none of the fourth tier beasts or fifth tier beasts came to bother them.


    There was only a handful of entire sixth tier magical beasts in the entire Redwood forest and with Zhan Chen''s soul consciousness it was impossible for them to meet a sixth tier magical beast.


    It was alreadyte morning when they were out of the Redwood forest. "We are finally out", Li Shu spoke happily.


    There was a stream of clear watering out from the Redwood forest. The back forest and the green in was giving a serene feeling to the environment.


    The group of Zhan Chen stopped their to rest as they came down from their rides. The first one to jump in the stream was not Li Shu, Li Yan or Kai Min. It was the shadow panther who immediately went to wash itself after


    seeing the clear stream.


    Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min joined it and the environment was full ofughter as they took a bath and yed with the shadow panther.


    Zhan Chen sat crosslegged and closed his eyes to enter into a meditative state. It had been days since he cultivated peacefully. So, he choose this moment to cultivate.


    He operated the Sacred Yinyang sutra and strands of yang energy came out from the morning sun. The yang energying from the sun was miniscue but sometimes such kind of cultivation where one immerse oneself in nature was a necessity for a cultivator.


    The cultivation level of this world divided into seven stages and Zhan Chen was already at the fourth stage of cultivation, the Core condensation realm. Moving further up, the cultivation realm that came after Core condensation realm was Martial ascension realm.


    Core condensation realm involvedpressing true essence energy and producing a core but the Martial ascension realm was exactly opposite. One need to shatter his core and form an spiritual sea to enter the Martial ascension realm.


    The step of producing an spiritual sea depended upon the quality of the core as well as the quality of the soul. The purer the soul and the core, the easier it was to enter the Martial ascension realm.


    Zhan Chen was aware of these facts. He had no issue regarding strengthening of his soul. So, his focus was to purify his energy core as much as possible.


    The Celestial yin yang sutra provided his body with the purest of the essence energy. So, he didn''t have to think about the purity of his essence energy. What he needed to focus was the proper polishing andpression of his core.


    The morepressed the core was, the more energy it required to reach another stage in cultivation realm. Other cultivator would have hesitated as it would take them much longer time to move another stage in Core condensation realm.


    But, it was not a problem for Zhan Chen. He just need to find suitable dual cultivation partners and there would be no problem in crossing over the stages of Core condensation realm even with his extremepression of his core.

 Chapter 183 Inside The Stream

    Zhan Chen opened his eyes after an hour of unhindered cultivation. A smile appeared on his face after seeing Li Shu inside the stream.


    Kai Min and Li Yan were standing at the side and they were drying their hair at this moment. Both of the girls were looking beautiful and Zhan Chen''s eyes paused on their bodies for a split second.


    Both Li Shu and Kai Min blushed after seeing Zhan Chen''s eyes on their bodies. Zhan Chen didn''t want to make Li Yan ufortable. So, he left them alone and walked towards the stream.


    "Young master, are you going to join us?", Li Shu asked. There were no girls at her side. So, by telling ''us'', she was referring to the shadow panther.


    Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing thezy appearance of the shadow panther. It was floating on the stream like a dead crocodile.


    Zhan Chen took down his clothes and entered the stream. Behind him, Li Yan left blushing after seeing his naked body.


    She stared at Zhan Chen for some moments but Kai Min nudged him with her elbow and left her embarrassed.


    "I am going to cultivate", she quickly fled to distance due to her embarrassment. Kai Min chuckled and shook her head. "I wonder how long she will take to admit her feelings", she thought to herself.


    Li Shu was in her undergarments while bathing. Her curves and shapely peaks werepletely highlighted due to water on her undergarments.


    Zhan Chen saw the absence of Li Yan. So, he took the chance and trace the curves on Li Shu''s body. Kai Min blushed at the side of the stream by such tant disy of feelings.


    Zhan Chen ordered the shadow panther to move out and it''s reluctant gaze didn''t make him change his decision.


    "What a joke? It has been days since I dual cultivated and if I left myself hanging like this then my little brother may explode from umtion", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He continued to tease Li Shu untill the shadow panther move out of their sight.


    Li Shu felt shy at first but Zhan Chen''s touch lit the fire of desire in her eyes. Kai Min was watching by the side but for some reason, it made Li Shu more excited.


    Zhan Chen removed her upper garments and freed her peaks from its binding. Her jade white peaks had already be softer after her long bath. They felt very soft to Zhan Chen''s hands when he kneaded her peaks.


    "Mmmm~", Li Shu moaned as Zhan Chen massaged her peaks.


    Kai Min''s blush became deeper after seeing such sensual scene. Her heartbeat quickened as she watched the love making of Zhan Chen and Li Shu.


    She felt embarrassed but she stood undecided whether to stay or leave.


    Zhan Chen pinched the pink buds on top of the peaks of Li Shu and that made her shiver in pleasure. Zhan Chen was patient today as he yed with Li Shu throughly.


    "Young master? What if my sister suddenlye?", Li Shu recalled about Li Yan suddenly.


    "Don''t worry. I have already taken care of her", Zhan Chen replied to her with an assuring tone. As for what he had done to Li Yan that only she could exin when both of the sisters meet.


    Zhan Chen lifted up Li Shu by her waist and put one of her peaks inside his mouth. His tongue moved around her bud and that made her moan in pleasure.


    Zhan Chen ced her other peak inside his mouth and after tasting it for a while, he ced her back on the ground.


    Zhan Chen bent down and shared a passionate kiss with Li Shu. His hand did not remain idle as he pull down her lower garment.


    Kai Min felt something sliding down from herher region as she witnessed the intense disy of Zhan Chen and Li Shu.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen ced a finger on the entrance of Li Shu''s sacred cave and rubbed it gently. Li Shu arched up her body in response as the pleasure made her breathless.


    Zhan Chen gobbled up her peak which she was raising in her arching position. His hand continued to rub her cave as some wetness started to appear on his fingers.


    Zhan Chen picked one of the leg of Li Shu and ced it on his shoulder. His little brother was already raring to go. Zhan Chen pointed it towards her entrace and pierced her cave in one stroke.


    "Ahhhh~", Li Shu let out a moan in response to Zhan Chen''s stroke. Her moans came out frequently in response to the movement of Zhan Chen''s waist.


    Zhan Chen turned her body after sometime and prated her back while standing. His dragon moved deeper inside her sacred cave and it didn''t take long for Li Shu to release her yin water.


    "Young master, Let''s go out of the stream", Li Shu suggested.


    "As you wish", Zhan Chen replied. He threw a meaningful nce towards Kai Min before leaving the stream. Kai Min''s heart fluttered after seeing look on the face of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen went out with Li Shu and ced a deep kiss on Kai Min''s lips. Li Shu knelt down near his legs and stretched her tongue to lick the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    His dragon was already raging and it felt more excited after entering the mouth of Li Shu. Zhan Chen disrobed Kai Min while his dragon was being swallowed by Li Shu.


    Zhan Chen tasted the mounds of Kai Min for some moments. Then he spoke her to crouch down on the sand.


    Kai Min understood what he meant and stood up on his four while pointing her back towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen knelt down beside her and stabbed her from behind with his spear.


    "Pah! Pah!", sound of flesh colliding came out as Zhan Chen continued to pound Kai Min from behind her back. Zhan Chen''s attack was relentless and Kai Min admit her defeat after ten minutes. A stream of fragrant water came out of her cave and drenched his dragon.


    After Kai Min, it was turn of Li Shu again. Zhan Chen instructed her to crouch beside Kai Min and LinShundid so after hearing his words.


    Zhan Chen rubbed the entrance of her cave with his spear for few times. Then he stabbed her cave with his dragon for the second time.


    Their tant disy in the broadlight continued as Zhan Chen pounded the two girls relentlessly.


    He was busy in moving his waist when a frown appeared on his face.


    "A fifth stage cultivator"


    "Moreover, a female cultivator on top of that", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    He continued to dual cultivate with Li Shu and Kai Min but the lucknof the fifth stage cultivator bwas sealed. Just before she could enter the perimeter of the stream, a soul strand entered the depth of her soul.


    Her eyes went nk for a moment but then everything turned normalpletely. She evaded the ce where Zhan Chen, LinShunand Kai Min were dual cultivating and Zhan Chen continued to pound LinShu as if nothing happened.


    "Young master~ I couldn''t take it anymore", Li Shu spoke as she released her yin water once again. It was her third time reaching the peak while Zhan Chen continued to pound her and Kai Min.


    Zhan Chen switched to Kai Min and he also reached his limit along with Kai Min. He told both girls to sat up and shoot his yang essence inside both of their mouths.


    A line of white came out of Kai Min''s lips but she moved her tongue and swallowed it clean. Zhan Chen instructed them to cultivate with the ''Yin nourishing technique'' while his attention moved towards the female cultivator whom he subdued while dual cultivating.

 Chapter 184 Lin Xintong

    The fifth stage cultivator whom Zhan Chen had subdued while dual cultivating was a middle aged woman. Her beauty was average but she got a face which was pleasant to look at.


    Currently, she had a troubled appearance on her face as she scanned the inner area of Redwood forest with her soul consciousness. Zhan Chen observed her for some time.


    He could tell that she was looking for some thing after seeing her anxious expression.


    The fifth stage cultivator had yet to find out that someone had ced a seal on her soul.


    Zhan Chen only made her feel confused and influenced her to choose another path towards the Redwood forest. Besides that, he didn''t do anything to her. So, the fifth stage cultivator had no way to find out that he was controlling her.


    Zhan Chen decided to leave her alone for the time being. His priority now was cultivation. But before entering cultivation, he had to take care of Li Yan and the Shadow panther first.


    Li Yan was sleeping peacefully on a big stone. That stone was the ce she chose to cultivate but Zhan Chen made her asleep before starting his dual cultivation with Li Shu and Kai Min.


    She woke upzily after few moments. "What is going on? How can I fall asleep while cultivating?", she thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen looked at the shadow panther after taking care of Li Yan. A smile nappeared on his face after seeing what it was doing.


    The shadow panther was lying peacefully on the top of a tree while waving it''s tail from time to time. Zhan Chen didn''t have to recall it as it immediately knew when Zhan Chen looked towards her.


    The shadow panther climbed down the tree and came towards Zhan Chen. But unlike the previous times, it didn''t rub it''s head on Zhan Chen''s chest on her own.


    Zhan Chen had a soul connection with her. So, he immediately find out what it was thinking.


    "I was not scolding you. It is just that I am doing an important work. It is me, who is wrong, alright", Zhan Chen looked towards the shadow panther helplessly. Despite it''s cultivation, it had yet to bepletely mature.


    Everything turned normal after Zhan Chen spoke some coaxing words to the shadow panther. Zhan Chen stopped distracting himself further as he sat crosslegged to cultivate.


    ---------------


    "You seem troubled", a voice appeared in the mind of the fifth stage cultivator.


    "Who is it?", the fifth stage cultivator felt ramed after hearing the words which came out from nowhere.


    "Why do you need a Purewood hibiscus? Don''t you know how rare it is!", Zhan Chen''s voice ringed once again inside the mind of the fifth stage cultivator.


    "How do you know about Purewood hibiscus? Who are you?", the middle aged fifth stage expert took out her sword and looked around to find out the source of the voice.


    "Rx, I mean no harm.


    If I want to harm you then I would have done so long ago", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What do you want?", the middle aged fifth stage expert asked with a cautious tone in her voice.


    "I know why are you looking for the Purewood hibiscus. But I can guarantee that you will not find the Purewood hibiscus even if you turn the entire Redwood forest upside down", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Even though it is impossible I still have to look", the fifth stage expert spoke with a determined expression on her face.


    "Why don''t you meet me? I have a proposal that may suit your need", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The fifth stage expert thought for a while but still decided to look for Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    Kai Min, Li Shu, Li Yan were cultivating. So, Zhan Chen managed to sneak away easily without alerting them.


    The fifth stage expert was waiting for Zhan Chen in a distance. A surprised expression appeared on her face after she noticed Zhan Chen.


    "A young man!", she murmured to herself in surprise. Initially she took Zhan Chen to be an old monster with unfathomable abilities. But all her assumptions went wrong after seeing his young and dashing appearance.


    "Young madam, it is my pleasure to meet you", Zhan Chen did a courtesy bow towards the fifth stage expert.


    "Are you the one talking with me?", the fifth stage expert asked with a stunned expression on her face.


    "That is indeed me. I am Zhan Chen. It will be my pleasure to know the name of young madam", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Lin Xintong", the fifth stage expert replied while looking towards Zhan Chen with curiousity.


    "So, madam Lin. Will you exin your trouble to me? It will be impossible to think about solution without hearing your problem in details", Zhan Chen looked towards Lin Xintong.


    "I will exin. But before that I want to know how are you doing it? I mean how can youmunicate with me with such agreat distance between us", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled but didn''t give an answer immediately. Instead he used the soul seal and ordered her to move three steps back. Lin Xintong didn''t know why but she moved three steps back.


    "What have you done to me?", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen with a wary expression. By now, she was aware that Zhan Chen could somehow control her mind.


    "Rx, I have no nning to harm you. Otherwise, we will not be talking here", Zhan Chen replied.


    After few more assurances from Zhan Chen, Lin Xintong finally became ready to talk. But she still remain wary of Zhan Chen''s goal.


    p Zhan Chen was capable of reading the thoughts of his controlled objects. But still he chose to hear about her problems from her own mouth.</anda>


    Lin Xintong was from the Serpent moon sect and she was an outer court elder. Her husband was also from the Serpent moon sect and an elder.


    Their daughter had fractured her core due to rushing her cultivation. She went to see her husband but she didn''t heed to her request. He was busy with his other women and was neglecting both Lin Xintong and her daughtertely.


    Lin Xintong was doing her best to get a pill which could mend her daughter''s core. But the herbs required were very rare and she was not able to get her hand on the main ingredient despite several attempts.


    "Who said you that Purewood hibiscus is needed for a Core rebirth pill?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lin Xintong after hearing her exnation.


    "Grandmaster Xenyang told me", Lin Xintong replied. She felt confused after seeing the pity in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Don''t you get it yet. They are fooling you because they don''t want your daughter to be healed", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "How can you tell?", Lin Xintong asked.


    "Bring the ingredients you have collected to any capable alchemist and tell them to concoct a Core Rebirth pill. See, their reaction after it", Zhan Chen spoke and shook his head.


    He couldn''t believe that the woman infront him would be so naive despite her cultivation. Lin Xintong was not convinced at first but Zhan Chen spoke her about the real ingredients of Core rebirth pill.


    His confident voice and in-depth knowledge about herbs managed to convince Lin Xintong. "I will believe you this time", she spoke to Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 185 Lu Huan

    "Now tell me. What do you want from me in return?", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Dual cultivation", Zhan Chen replied with a in tone. Lin Xintong stood stunned after hearing the direct reply from Zhan Chen.


    "Dual cultivation with me!", she looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in her eyes. Zhan Chen nodded his head seriously as it was the thing he wanted from her.


    "But why? I am so old already", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in her eyes.


    "Who said you are old? I don''t think so", Zhan Chen retorted.


    Lin Xintong tried to speak reasons to Zhan Chen but all of her reasons were firmly rejected by Zhan Chen as he looked towards her with a piercing gaze. He could not be more clear about his intention regarding dual cultivation with her.


    Lin Xintong couldn''t find any more words to defend herself as a blush finally appeared on her lovely cheeks.


    Zhan Chen could understand her inner turmoil. So, he didn''t push things too far from their first meeting.


    He need dual cultivation partner. But he wouldn''t be a vile beast for the purpose of cultivation. He want his women to be the willing party before moving towards the dual cultivation. Same logic was applied to Lin Xintong. He wanted to seek her agreement before doing dual cultivation with her.


    "How about it? You can gather the auxiliary materials and I will take care of the main ingredient. We can talk about our matter after I am done with the concoction of Core rebirth pill", Zhan Chen looked towards Lin Xintong. He wanted to give her some time before she could take her decision.


    "Refining the Core rebirth pill? Do you know what you are talking about? It is a grade four pill?", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief.


    No matter how mysterious Zhan Chen was, he couldn''t probably be a pill grandmaster. This was what she had thought.


    But the next action of Zhan Chen made her shut her mouth. Because a gentle looking fire appeared on the palm of Zhan Chen.


    "Soul fire! How is this possible?", Lin Xintong cried out in surprise after seeing the fire on Zhan Chen''s palm.


    "Now, you should beleive me, right?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lin Xintong with a smile on his face.


    ---------------


    "Big sis Yan, how much time it will take for us to reach the next town?", Li Shu looked towards Li Yan.


    "It will probable take another day. We have already crossed the majority of the earth province. We can rest after reaching the border between Earth province and Dragon province", Li Yan spoke.


    They were already traveling for three days without taking any major break. So, Li Shu wanted to stop somewhere to rx.


    "We will take a proper break after reaching the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen spoke. All three girls nodded their heads after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    Li Yan determined their next course of action and all of them followed her lead towards the Yellow stone city.


    "Stop", Zhan Chen suddenly spoke. All of them stopped their magical beasts after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. They looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion on their faces.


    "Senior, should not you reveal yourself after watching us for so long?", Zhan Chen looked towards a certain direction.


    No reply came out after Zhan Chen spoke. Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min felt more confused after seeing what Zhan Chen was doing. He seemed to be talking to thin air as no reply came out from that direction.


    "Senior, I know you are there. You are following us since an hour. I wonder how long are you nning to follow us?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Youngsters are indeed scary. I have heard much about your Zhan n talents. But your talent is an eye opener for me",<sub> </sub>


    A voice came out of thin air after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had a cautious look on his face as he looked towards the said direction. A cultivator appeared in the sky where he was looking. But his figure could not be seen as it seemed to blurred by some unknown power.


    "Rx, everyone. I have no intention to harm you. I am only here to speak with Zhan Chen", the hidden figure spoke.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min were hesiant to leave. But Zhan Chen looked at them and his assured expression made them leave willingly.


    The blurry figure of the person became clear after Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min left. He looked towards Zhan Chen and appeared before him within the blink of an eye.


    "Greetings senior. May I know who are you and why are you looking for me?", Zhan Chen looked towards the robust looking old man who stood opposite to him.


    "I havee here to check upon you. I have heard some rumors about you. But rumors are rumors.


    After seeing you, I can understand why senior Lin is so hellbent on protecting you. The hope of revival for the Zhan n lies in your hands", the robust looking old man spoke.


    "Are you referring to ancestor Zhan Lin?", Zhan Chen inquired. The robust looking old man nodded his head and spoke,


    "I am Lu Huan. The grand elder of Lu n".


    "Senior Huan, it is a bit rude to ask. But can you tell me the power level of nine superpowers. I mean who is strongest and who is weakest? Which power has more number of experts in their ranks?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Huan.


    From the earlier encounter with Lu n experts, he had already found out that Lu n was an hidden alley of his Zhan n. So, he had no reservation even though the grand elder of Lu n standing infront of him.


    "I can give you the answer. But the before that, I want to know your current cultivation level", Lu Huan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Core condensation realm", Zhan Chen replied with a nonchnt expression.


    "What? Core condensation realm?", Lu Huan was taken aback for a moment. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the reaction of the grand elder.


    "It is unexpected. It only took few months for you to cross over two major realms", Lu Huan remarked.


    Then he started to exin the power structure of Northern desert continent to Zhan Chen.


    "Among the nine super powers, the Xie family is the strongest. They are not only the acimed ruler of the continent but they actually have such hidden reserves of experts to back up their im.


    Three sects generally do not participate in power struggle but as ancient powers, their reserves are only second to the Xie family. In terms of power, Heavenly sword sect is the most powerful among the sects and the Xuantian sect is considered to be below them.


    In terms of number of experts, no power can match with the Xuantian sect as they have all most all kinds of arts to attract the disciples. The mysterious one among the three sects is the Frozen cloud sect. No one knows how much female experts are hiding behind those frozen walls of the Snow province.


    Five ns can be ranked after the Xie family and the three supreme sects. Huang n is the strongest and the Shen n is the weakest.


    Li n, my Lu n and the Huo n has almost same level of power and experts", Lu Huan spoke.


    Zhan Chen asked out some more questions to Lu Huan. Lu Huan took out threemunication tailsman and handed them over to Zhan Chen. His figure disappeared but he left behind a mental message to Zhan Chen before leaving.


    A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s forehead after he looked through the content of the message. "Xie family? It is yet to be decided who is the pawn here", he murmured to himself.

 Chapter 186 Yellow Stone City

    "Young master Chen, who is that senior?", Li Yan asked. She had seen many seniors of fifth stage and few cultivators who were at sixth stage but this was the first time she felt such awe towards a cultivator.


    "He is a quashi emperor expert", Zhan Chen replied. He didn''t reveal the identity of Lu n grand elder but the mere mention of the word ''quashi emperor'' left the three girls awestruck. All three of them were sensible enough to not inquiry the matter involving a quashi emperor.


    Zhan Chen also felt a sense of urgency after seeing Lu Huan. The people he was involved with going increasily difficult to deal with. First it was fifth stage experts, then he came in contact with the sixth stage experts. And now a quashi emperor hade to meet him.


    "I need to increase my cultivation urgently. And to achieve that I need partners", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    After travelling for another day, a tall city wall came to the view of Zhan Chen''s group. The city wall was made up of yellow stones. Thus, the name of the city came to be known as Yellow stone city.


    "It is the border city of Earth province. After crossing over it, we will enter the true centre of the Northern desert continent, the Dragon province", Zhan Chen spoke.


    They had to leave the magical beasts at city gate and that was a true headache for Zhan Chen. Because he had a stubborn panthress with him. It took a while for him to persuade it and the shadow panther led the other three fourth tier beasts to distance.


    "It is not a problem to concoct a pill for her. I hope I can control her stubborn nature with the allure of pills", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Girls, please tell me if you need something. You don''t have to worry about the money", Zhan Chen spoke. Kai Min shook her head as didn''t feel it right to impose on Zhan Chen. But Li Shu was not resrved and so, she took the offer of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the stubborn nature of Li Yan and Kai Min. Li Shu was as adorable as always as she didn''t have much reservation towards him.


    "Let''s first look for a inn. I am nning take an alchemist batch in this city. It will help us in getting the pill ingredients faster and cheap", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "The grandmasters are in for a surprise", Li Yan thought to herself after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    They chose a good inn to stay and book four rooms at the top floor of it. After washing themselves and resting a bit, all of them went to look for the Alchemy association of Yellow stone city.


    It was not that hard to find the branch headquarter of Alchemy association as almost everyone in the city were aware of its location. Zhan Chen only had to ask few cultivators before reaching the branch headquarter of the Alchemy association.


    Scores of people were going in and out of the Alchemy association and none of them looked poor. A luxurious looking gate was ced before the branch headquarter and "Alchemy association" was written over it in golden caligraphy.


    The branch headquarter was made up of white stones and it''s interior was even more amazing than its outside. "Alchemists are really made up of money", Kai Min murmured to herself. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the envy in her eyes.


    "You should not put this much luxury in your eyes. You are my woman. Even hundreds of this kind of headquarter will be built if you are willing to live in luxury", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile to her.


    Kai Min''s cheeks reddened after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. She looked around in embarassment to check if anybody heard their conversation.<sub> </sub>


    Li Yanughed softly after seeing the embarassed look on the face of Kai Min. Zhan Chen was nonchnt as it was amon thing for his women to have riches and luxury. Afterall they were the queens of Zhan dynasty.


    "Tsk! Tsk, beauties are being fooled by a braggart. I wonder how much he has got to speak such lofty words", a good looking young man spoke to hispanions. He was holding a wooden fan on his hand and apained by four other youngsters.


    "Beauties, you should give up on that braggart. He can''tpare to young master Su when ites to reaches", one of thepanion of the good looking young man spoke.


    Zhan Chen didn''t mind their words as he always ignored such naive and foolish looking young masters. Li Shu turned to speak something but Li Yan held her hand to stop her. They followed Zhan Chen as he proceeded towards the attendant in charge of ground floor.


    "Young master, wee to the branch headquarter of Alchemy association. I wonder what brings you here?", the beautiful attendant looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I want to appear in the test for pill grandmaster", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "A pill grandmaster!", the five young man who were following behind the group of Zhan Chen were taken aback for a moment.


    A moment of silence followed and all of them erupted into a chorousughter. "This braggart is really funny. He seems to be of our age and yet, he is iming to attend the test of Alchemy grandmaster!", they poked fun at Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, do you have the identification token of a pill master?", the beautiful attendant looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shook his head as he had never ever attained the test of Alchemy association.


    "Then, I am sorry. I can''t arrange the test for you. You must have a rmendation letter to attain the rest of pill grandmaster", the beautiful attendant spoke.


    "See, don''t I have told you that he is a braggart! Look at his pathetic appearance now", the leader of the five young men spoke. But he didn''t know that someone has already taken action. The action of Kai Min was extremely first. Before anyone could react she had already ced her sword on the neck of the good looking young man.


    "Enough.You are not allowed to insult him any more", Kai Min spoke angrily.


    "Miss, you are not allowed to use your weapon in the premises of Alchemy association. If you don''t restraint yourself, then we will have to throw you out", the beautiful looking attendant warned Kai Min.


    Zhan Chen frowned after seeing the indignant look on Kai Min''s face. He could ignore insult to him but it was another matter to rile up his women.


    "Kai Min, restraint your anger. It an insult to you if you get angry over such frolicking ants", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Braggart, who are you saying ants?", the group of five young men snapped at Zhan Chen. But Zhan Chen gave them a stare and cold sweat poured out of their foreheads. They felt trepidation in their hearts and choose to leave the Alchemy association silently without causing a ruckus.


    "Miss, I wonder if this thing is enough to arrange a test for me", Zhan Chen spoke after cing a square shaped token infront of the attendant.

 Chapter 187 Alchemy Association

    "A purple token!", the beautiful attendant recognised the token Zhan Chen had taken out.


    "Is your teacher a pill grand master ?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "My teacher?", Zhan Chen didn''t know what to say for a moment. He had taken out the token that grand master Wang had given him and it led to the current misunderstanding of the attendant.


    "No, he is not my teacher but I am somewhat acquianted with him", Zhan Chen rified himself.


    "Can I give the test with this token?", Zhan Chen looked towards the attendant.


    "No, even though you have brought out a purple token, it is still impossible for you to skip two levels and directly give the test for the pill grand master", the beautiful attendant exined.


    A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after hearing her reply because it would be too much of a hassle for him if he kept appearing in the test for pill master and pill grandmaster. He was in somewhat of a dilemma when he noticed something and a smile appeared on his face.


    "Allow him to attain the test. If you want, I can talk with your superior", amanding voice interrupted the tranquility of the ground floor.


    "Here she is", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and turned to look towards the door of the ground floor.


    "Miss, can you state your identity?", the beautiful attendant looked towards the new visitor who had entered the ground floor.


    "What is she doing here?", Kai Min thought to herself after seeing the appearance of the visitor.


    "Here is my token. You can show it to your superior", Lan Yueyue spoke to the attendant after taking out a round token. The token was golden in colour and there was the word "City lord" written on top of it.


    The beautiful attendant gulped inaudibly after seeing the token that Lan Yueyue had taken out. She hurriedly went upstair after picking up the token.


    Lan Yueyue didn''t look at Zhan Chen and others of his group. One might say that she was acting indifferent but reality was different.


    Her face was flushed red at this moment as she was trying her best to look serious. The veil on her face was assisting her. That''s how she could mask his emotion infront of Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan.


    The beautiful attendant didn''t take long as she came down from the stairs after a while. A thin old man was following behind her and one could immediately speak his identity after seeing the cauldron symbol on his robe.


    "Miss Lan, I have long heard about you? It is my bad that I didn''te out earlier", the thin looking old man cupped his hands towards Lan Yueyue.


    Lan Yueyue also greeted him back and after the exchange of pleasantries she made the purpose of her arrival clear. She was here for Zhan Chen.


    The thin looking elder of Alchemy association felt surprise after hearing her words. He turned to look towards Zhan Chen but after seeing him, a doubtful look appeared on his face.


    "Such a young man! Miss Lan, are you sure, he can attain the test of a pill grand master?", the thin looking elder asked Lan Yueyue.


    --------------


    "Such marvelous technique! Elder Jin, are you sure that he is only eighteen?", two other elders looked towards the thin looking elder who brought Zhan Chen for the test.


    "Look, what is he doing?", the elder who was silent till now spoke for the first time.


    "It is insane", the mist garrulous among the elders spoke.


    "He is still young after all", elder Jin shook his head.<sub> </sub>


    None of the three grand masters had ever seen anyone seeding by following methods of Zhan Chen. To fuse the medicinal essence of the herbs, one must need to be patient and apply the right amount of temperature. But what Zhan Chen was doing at this moment was contrary to the principle of Alchemy.


    He kept increasing the temprature without trying to bnce it. While the three grandmasters were busymenting, Zhan Chen was secretly controlling the pill furnace with his soul consciousness.


    Thin strands of his soul had entered the pill furnace and they were acting as the bncing factor for the medicinal essence. No amount of heat could damage the medicinal essence as his soul strands would ensure the optimal heat inside the pill furnace.


    "He is still doing it!", elder Jin shook his head in dismay.


    "Forget it, it is for the best that he is going to fail. Otherwise, it will cause a big upheavel. An eighteen year old boy, a pill grandmaster! What kind of notion it is", the garrulous one among the three elders qupped.


    The three elders were talking but Zhan Chen''s words interrupted their conversation.


    "Elders, sorry to keep you waiting. I have finished concocting the pill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Take out the lid and let us check", elder Jin spoke in a disinterested voice. ording to him, the result was already decided.


    A wonderful herbal aroma came out from the pill furnace as soon as Zhan Chen opened up the lid. The three elders looked towards eachother and each of them had a surprised expression on their faces.


    Zhan Chen had a smile on his face as he saw the changed facial expression of three elders. ording to him, the result was only natural because there was no challenge in concocting a grade four pill. He had finished the concoction long ago but he had to keep pretending as his performance would be considered too shocking. A grade four pill concocted within fifteen minutes, that would cause a real upheavel in the cultivation world.


    Despite his cautious approach, the result made the elders speechless. They kept passing the pill among themselves as each of them took a sniff out of the pill.


    "How is this possible? A pill just short of vein appearance!", one of the eldermented.


    "We need to keep this pill with us. We must ask the....", the elder turned to look towards the direction of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had already disappeared from his ce because he couldn''t tolerate the three curious old men anymore.


    His gaze fell upon city lord Yueyue after he climbed down the stairs. Lan Yueyue blushed after seeing Zhan Chen looking towards her. She tried to look away but it turned out to be a quite an difficult task for her.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her struggle. He didn''t have any intention to make her ufortable. So, he turned away from her and looked towards Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan.


    "Young master Chen, how is your test?", Li Yan asked.


    "It is good", Zhan Chen replied. He kept talking with three of them when three old men came to interrupt their conversation.


    "Three elders!", the attendant girl stood up from her seat after the anxious looking three elders.


    "Young master Chen, please name the price. You can ask for anything. But you have to promise the pill you have concocted", the garrulous elder among the three spoke.


    "Elder Ming, you can''t.....", the girl was trying to speak something but the other two elders stared at her and she stopped talking.


    "What is happening? Looks like something big has happened", she thought to herself.


    "Elders, has he passed the exam?", city lord Yueyue asked with a surprised expression on her face. Although she was here to support Zhan Chen due to the unforeseenpulsion, it didn''t mean she had lost her mind. An eighteen year old boy, a pill grand master! No sane person would beleive such a thing.


    "Ofcourse! He has already passed", the three of them hurriedly dered the test result of Zhan Chen.


    A stunned expression appeared on Lan Yueyue''s face after hearing the reply of the Alchemy association elders. She turned to look towards Zhan Chen and her heart throbbed after seeing the small smile on Zhan Chen''s face.

 Chapter 188 Courting The City Lord

    "You will give me anything?", Zhan Chen looked towards the three elders of the Alchemy association.


    "Of course. We will promise you anything as long as your demand is not too outrageous", the most talkative elder among the three replied. Other two also nodded their heads as all of them agreed on this beforeing to see Zhan Chen.


    "Well, that can be discussed. Let me first write the things I required in a scroll", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He requested the beautiful attendant to fetch him a scroll and the attendant agreed immediately to his request. She left her seat and went towards a back room to fetch the scroll for Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen imbued his essence energy into the scroll and the name of the herbs started to appear on the scroll surface.


    "See, if you have these herbs with you. All of the herbs are average grade four herbs", Zhan Chen spoke after giving the scroll to elder Jin.


    The three elders looked at the scroll and a smile appeared on each of their faces. "Grand master Chen, you are too modest. Please wait for a moment for the head toe. We will request for something more valuable from him", elder Jin spoke.


    ----------------


    "Zhan Chen, please be honest. Have you done something to me?", Lan Yueyue asked Zhan Chen.


    "City lord, you are too beautiful. So, I thought it would be a waste if I leave you alone untill you became old", Zhan Chen replied.


    Lan Yueyue blushed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. Her heart fluttered after hearing the reply of Zhan Chen. She would have feel disappointed if Zhan Chen didn''t admit his doing.


    But, Zhan Chen had a way with his words. Even though he has admitted to y some tricks, it still left a good impression in the heart of Lan Yueyue.


    But, you have Ruyan with you. Why are you still courting me?", Lan Yueyue asked with a flushed face.


    "Yes, Ruyan is my woman. But there is also many others. The path I have choosen is bound to have many women. Will you still consider me, city lord?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lan Yueyue.


    "How shameless! You still have other women than Ruyan?", Lan Yueyue asked.


    "City lord, do you want to hear a secret", Zhan Chen looked towards Lan Yueyue with a mysterious smile on his face. Lan Yueyue felt interigued and nodded her head.


    "Then lend me your ear", Zhan Chen spoke. He murmured something near the ear of Lan Yueyue and her cheeks became like red apples after hearing his words.


    "Bah! How shameless! How is this possible that your little one can''t be satisfied with so many women", Lan Yueyue murmured with flushed cheeks.


    "City lord, you are looking more beautiful now. Please hurry up and tell me your decision. Otherwise, it will be a great torment for my little heart if you keep me hung up like this", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen and dazed look appeared on her face after seeing the smile of Zhan Chen. She took some time to get her bearing but a smitten look was still on her face.


    "I want to hear one thing before anything happened between us. Otherwise, I will rather die than agree to be your woman", Lan Yueyue spoke. She spoke this after trying her best to keep her emotion aside.


    "Please ask. I will never deceive you except the earlier trick", Zhan Chen spoke with a soft look on his face.


    "Am I too old for you? Do you really like me or do you have other ulterior motive", Lan Yueyue asked.<sub> </sub>


    "To be honest, you are still young to be worried about your age. As for whether I like you or not, that is a stupid question because I have already considered you as one of my women", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Now, the question is whether you like me or not. I will ept whatever your decision is", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, I like you very much. I don''t know why but I can''t stop thinking about you for a moment", Lan Yueyue spoke.


    "The effect of soul seed technique", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He couldn''t resist himself anymore after seeing the passionate look on the face of Lan Yueyue. He stood up and moved closer to her. Then leaned forward to nt a kiss on her lips.


    A jolt ran through the body of Lan Yueyue after she felt the touch of Zhan Chen''s lips on her lips. She was stiff die to her inexperience but Zhan Chen''s passionate made her cooperate with him.


    Zhan Chen invaded her mouth with his tongue and tasted her fragrant saliva with his invading tongue. Lan Yueyue tried to coopearate with her tongue an passionate entanglement of mouths went on between them.


    Their kisssted for some minutes before Zhan Chen let go of Lan Yueyue''s lips. A strong of saliva were joining them as a testament their passionate entanglement.


    "Zhan Chen, we are still among them. What will they think if we take such a long time", Lan Yueyue asked Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t worry, all of them except Li Yan are my woman. As for Li Yan, she is not a problem. So, what are you hesitating for?", Zhan Chen replied as he leaned for another kiss with her.


    Lan Yueyue separated herself after another kiss. "But, elder Su is also with me. He will doubt if I do note out from the inn", Lan Yueyue spoke with a worried tone.


    Zhan Chen gave a squeeze to her peaks and spoke, "You worried too much. I promise he will stay loyal to you for lifetime".


    Lan Yueyue couldn''t speak anymore as Zhan Chen''s agression overwhelmed her mind. She started to moan in pleasure as Zhan Chen gave a good massage to her twin peaks.


    "Your dress is a trouble. Why are you wearing a warrior''s cloth all the time?", Zhan Chenined. Lan Yueyue blushed but she still coopeared with Zhan Chen to take down her clothes. Nothing remained except her undergarment and Zhan Chen couldn''t keep his eyes away from her enchanting figure.


    All her curves were in right ces. Her peaks were not that big but they were fully shaped and pointy. The buds above her peaks were fully erect as their turned dark red from white.


    Zhan Chen pinched one of her bud while cing his lips on another.


    "Nnnnng~",


    Lan Yueyue moaned as waves of ecstasy flew from her peaks and overwhelmed her mind. Zhan Chen skillfully yed with her peaks and Lan Yueyue squirmed on the bed due to the excessive pleasure.


    Every touch of Zhan Chen was skillful. His hand skill was well practiced in such a way that he could activate a pleasure nerve with every movement of his hand.


    By the time Zhan Chen let go of her peaks, two palm prints had already appeared on her two milky white peaks. Lan Yueyue was already on the verge of reaching her peak even though Zhan Chen had yet to do anything to herher zone.


    Zhan Chen invaded her lower garment with his finger. His finger came in contact with something wet and Zhan Chen knew he had already found the target.


    There were already some wet spot on the under garment of Lan Yueyue. The wet spots started to increase in size after Zhan Chen started to rub the entrance of her cave with his fingers.

 Chapter 189 The Rank Of Yin Nourishing Technique

    "Zhan Chen, not there~. I have not taken a bath. Ah~",


    Lan Yueyue tried to stop Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen directly ced his mouth on top of her sacred garden and took a lick.


    Lan Yueyue was already at the zenith of the pleasure. So, the soft touch of Zhan Chen''s tongue tear apart all her resistance.


    A huge amount of yin water came out from her entrance and drenched the face of Zhan Chen.


    <o>,m Lan Yueyue ''s body twitched after she released her yin water. A feeling offort washed over her body and she felt a moment of bliss.</o>


    "Is it good?", Zhan Chen smiled towards her after properly savouring the yin water of Lan Yueyue.


    "Mmmm", Lan Yueyue nodded her head with flushed cheeks.


    "What about you? You have yet to do anything", Lan Yueyue asked Zhan Chen with a shy look on her face. She had not done anything like this before but she was not naive. Considering her age and experience as a city lord, she had heard about the way of men and women more often.


    "I will not do anything but you have to take care of me like I take care of you. We can go all the way after I prepare my gift for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You are going to give me a gift?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen with anticipation. "Not now, first you have to take care of my little brother", Zhan Chen spoke and took out his robe.


    Lan Yueyue blushed after seeing the lean body of Zhan Chen. Her blush deepened after he saw the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "It is huge", Lan Yueyuemented.


    "It is all yours", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled Lan Yueyue from her lying position.


    He took the hand of Lan Yueyue and handed her his rod. Lan Yueyue felt the faint heating from Zhan Chen''s dragon. She started to stroke it with her inexperienced hands and Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched in pleasure.


    Zhan Chen guided her hands a little and she soon used to it.


    She stroked the dragon of Zhan Chen for few minutes and a satisfied look appeared on her face after seeing the slightly enjoying expression of Zhan Chen.


    "Yueyue, use your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke as his dragon yearned for more of her care and attention. Lan Yueyue nodded shyly as she crouched on her four to ess the dragon of Zhan Chen with her mouth.


    "This may be ufortable for you. How about I lie down", Zhan Chen proposed. Lan Yueyue nodded her head and Zhan Chen sat on his bed to lie down.


    He lied downfortably as his spear pointed it''s head towards the sky. Lan Yueyue brought down her mouth clumsily and touched the forehead of Zhan Chen''s dragon with her lips.


    Zhan Chen spoke her to use her tongue and guided her time to time. She took her time to learn and Zhan Chen''s mind blown away after she started to apply all her skills she had heard and learned.


    Lan Yueyue had a noble demeanour outside but inside she was a through and through delinquent. She had an adventurous personality and she had held a lot of conversation regarding men and women. She had heard about a lot of skills during her conversation and she wanted use all of those skills on Zhan Chen to please him. That was her way to express her love.


    "Yueyue, you are amazing", Zhan Chen spoke. He was currently sitting on a wooden chair and Lan Yueyue was kneeling on the ground. She was moving her head intently and time to giving a lick to his family jewels.<sub> </sub>


    It had been more than half an hour and she was still going on. She was a peak Core condensation realm expert. So, she didn''t have any stamina problem considering her cultivation.


    Zhan Chen was feeling waves of pleasure as Lan Yueyue skillfully pleased his little brother. The veins on the surface of his dragon were bulging as his dragon received the maximum care and support.


    Zhan Chen finally couldn''t sit down peacefully. He stood up and started to move his waist along with mouth of Lan Yueyue. He kept his hand on the back of her head and pushed her head towards his dragon.


    Lan Yueyue understood his intention. So, she brought forward her mouth willingly as Zhan Chen''s dragon traveled deep inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen pulled away his dragon to give her some breather and pushed his dragon deep inside her mouth again. After repeating such pration and withdrawal for some time, Zhan Chen finally reached his limit.


    "Make sure to drink all of it. I will teach you a cultivation method with which you can cultivate", Zhan Chen spoke. He gave a deep thrust inside the mouth of Lan Yueyue and released his yang essence inside her mouth.


    "Gulp", Lan Yueyue gulped down his yang essence as a sweet taste lingered in her throat.


    Zhan Chen wanted to go for another round but he still decided against it. It was only their first time. So, she couldn''t push Lan Yueyue to please him for such a longer period.


    "Yueyue, thank you. I am d that I have used the Soul seed technique on you. Otherwise, I might not have gotten such an amazing woman like you", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue blushed after hearing the honest words of Zhan Chen. A sweet feeling welled up inside her heart after she heard the words of Zhan Chen.


    "What technique you are going to teach me?", she asked after wearing her undergarments. Zhan Chen tapped a finger on the centre of her forehead and the ''Yin nourishing technique'' appeared inside her mind.


    An astonished look appeared on her face after she saw what Zhan Chen had done. "You can transfer your memory?", she asked Zhan Chen with a surprised tone. Zhan Chen nodded his head as it was only a little trick for him to transfer his memory.


    "But it is something only the Martial ascension realm experts can do. How can you do it despite not being a Martial ascension realm expert?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Who says you that I am not a Martial ascension realm expert?", Zhan Chen asked back to Lan Yueyue.


    "Liar", Lan Yueyue rolled her eyes charmingly but she didn''t pursue the matter. She was more considerate than Zhan Chen had expected. So, he didn''t have to give an exnation about his abilities.


    Lan Yueyue sat crosslegged and looked towards the technique that Zhan Chen had transferred to her mind. She looked through the technique and an astonished look appeared on her face after she looked through the content.


    "Are you for real? Why do you give such a valuable technique to me?", Lan Yueyue turned to look towards Zhan Chen.


    Unlike Ling''er, Su''er, Kai Min and Li Shu, Lan Yueyue was aware about the existence of powerful techniques and cultivation methods. Such things were the true treasures of ns and sects and no one would reveal such things to the public.


    These were the techniques which something even the core members of a n couldn''t ess. Such techniques could only be learned by the patriarchs of their ns and they were treasured by the ns more than the lives of their n members.


    Lan Yueyue was taken aback after seeing such a technique from Zhan Chen. She had never expected that Zhan Chen would give her such a valuable technique.


    "Is it an Emperor rank technique?", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a nervous look on her face.

 Chapter 190 Ascension Spirit Pill

    "It is only a technique. Why are you making such a big deal out of it", Zhan Chen smiled towards Lan Yueyue.


    "But....", Lan Yueyue wanted to say something but her mouth was sealed by Zhan Chen with a kiss.


    Zhan Chen gave her a passionate kiss on her lips and she calmed down after seeing his soft gaze towards her.


    "Rx. A technique is not a big deal no matter how valuable it is. Moreover, I have given it to other girls also. So, put away your thoughts and cultivate. Your gift will be ready by the time you will finish your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue nodded her head and sat crosslegged. She closed her eyes and started to cultivate ording to the methods of Yin nourishing technique.


    Zhan Chen also sat down alongside her. It took only a few moments for him to absorb the little amount of yin essence he had received from her.


    He got up and walked out from his room. A smile appeared on his face after he spread his soul consciousness towards the ground floor of the inn.


    "The Alchemy association is more efficient than I have expected", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He met with a widely grinning elder of Alchemy association as soon as he climbed down the stairs. The beautiful attendant girl was also with the elder.


    "Seems like I amte", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No, no, not at all", the elder of Alchemy association replied.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t be more familiar with the elder of Alchemy association as he was the most talkative one among the three elders who examined him.


    "I wonder what brings the esteemed elder of Alchemy association toe visit me personally?", Zhan Chen looked towards the elder of the Alchemy association.


    "Young friend Chen, how can you say something like this. You are already a pill grandmaster. So, you are already one of our peers", the elder of Alchemy association replied shamelessly.


    Zhan Chen smiled inside his mind after hearing the friendly words of the Alchemy association elder. He could see through his motive but he didn''t show anything in open.


    "Grandmaster Chen, I have forgot to introduce me earlier. I am Cheng Shao. You can call me elder Cheng or whatever you like", the elder of Alchemy association spoke.


    "Elder Cheng then", Zhan Chen nodded his head. Cheng Shao smiled after seeing Zhan Chen''s response.


    "Xiaolian, what are you waiting for? Hand over the herbs we have prepared for young friend Chen", elder Cheng looked towards the beautiful attendant.


    The young attendant came out of her stupor and blushed slightly. She took out a spatial ring from her clothes and handed it to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing her nervousness. He could understand why she was watching him with a stupor. In terms of looks, he was already far ahead than his peers.


    If his looks could only garner attention from beautiful girls, then his current identity as the youngest pill grand master would made thempletely vulnerable to his charm.


    "Miss, you are looking more beautiful than the previous time we have met", Zhan Chen made ament to the blushing beauty. Then he focused his attention on the content of the spatial ring.


    A slightly surprised look appeared on his face after he looked through the content.


    "Grandmaster Chen, are you satisfied with the things we have prepared for you?", elder Cheng asked.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as he was not aversed to have some more valuable herbs with him. But he still couldn''t believe that Alchemy association would give him such valuable materials for free.


    He looked towards elder Cheng and his next sentence confirmed his suspicion.


    "Grandmaster Chen, I hope you like the small gifts of mine. I have taken them out from my personal collection".<sub> </sub>


    Instead of the Alchemy association, it was elder Cheng Shao who had added the extras in the spatial ring. Zhan Chen looked towards him to know the reason for such valuable gifts.


    "I can''t deny that your gifts are useful to me in my current situation. Speak, what do you need from me?", Zhan Chen asked elder Cheng.


    -----------------


    There was a wide smile on the face of elder Cheng as he left the inn with the beautiful attendant. The attendant turned to look towards Zhan Chen and she blushed after seeing Zhan Chen smiled towards her.


    "I hope he will not disappoint me", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he watched the retreating figure of elder Cheng.


    Elder Cheng wanted to meet his teacher but it was impossible to meet with the Alchemy sage in his current situation. Zhan Chen could understand why elder Cheng was so desperate. So, he proposed a deal to elder Cheng. Elder Cheng readily epted his offer and both parties ended their conversation with a satisfied smile on their faces.


    "I can guide him to be an Alchemy king but he has to help me in raising the army of my Zhan family. Otherwise, there will be no deal between us", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He went back to his room and put out the profound grade pill furnace he was previously using. He brought out some jade containers and arranged them in an orderly fashion.


    "Time to refine", he thought inside his mind and brought out the herbs he had received from the Alchemy association.


    ''Branch of Green wood''


    ''Flower of Akasia''


    ''Roseweed''


    and finally the soul nourishing herb, ''Blue Amaryllis'',


    Zhan Chen took out all the required herbs from his spatial ring and arranged them by his side.


    p He put the flower of Akasia in the pill furnace first and started refining. One after another herbs turned into medical essence and Zhan Chen stored them in the jade containers. Thest herb, he picked up was the Blue amaryllis.</anda>


    It was gorgerous flower with blue petals. Zhan Chen plucked the petals skillfully and put them inside the pill furnace. It took only five minutes for him to turn the petals of Blue amaryllis into medical essence.


    Zhan Chen started to fuse the medical essence one with another and it took another fifteen minutes for him toplete the process.


    A bluish translucent pill was inside the pill furnace when Zhan Chen took away the lead of the pill furnace. A smile appeared on his face when he saw the twitching nose of Lan Yueyue.


    It had been quite a long time since Lan Yueyue had started cultivating and she finally came out of her seclusion after smelling the thick aroma of a medicinal pill.


    Zhan Chen took out the pill and ced it inside a jade container. Then he threw it towards the direction of Lan Yueyue.


    "Take it. It is a gift from me", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue stretched her hand and picked up the jade container from the air.


    An astonished look appeared on her face after she saw the pill inside the jade container. She hurriedly open up the jade container and the thick aroma from earlier again assailed her nose.


    "A fifth grade pill!", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression on her face. Zhan Chen nodded his head in response to her question.


    "What pill is it?", Lan Yueyue asked after a moment.


    "Ascension spirit pill", Zhan Chen replied in a in tone.

 Chapter 191 Teaching Alchemy To A Grand Master

    "What?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in her eyes. The word ''Spirit ascension pill'' acted like a thunderp inside her mind.


    Spirit ascension pill'' was a legendary pill and the pill form was already lost in the annals of the history.


    So, the name of Spirit ascension pill made her stupified for a moment. "Hurry up and eat it. Otherwise, it''s medical efficacy will be lost", Zhan Chen reminded her.


    Lan Yueyue stood up from her ce after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She didn''t speak anything but reached out to Zhan Chen''s face on her toes and left a soft kiss on his right cheek.


    "Thank you", she spoke with an emotional voice. No peak Core condensation realm expert could resist a Spirit ascension pill and she was no exception. It would lessen years of hard work and make sure that a peak Core condensation realm cultivator would reach the Martial ascension realm safely.


    Its reputation precedes it and Lan Yueyue was still in disbelief that she was holding the legendary pill in her palm. She thanked Zhan Chen and hurriedly went back to cultivate.


    Zhan Chen touched the spot on his cheek where she had pecked and a smile appeared on his face.


    He checked Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min with his soul consciousness and found them cultivating seriously. Even the least attentive among them, Li Shu was being more hard working with each passing days.


    "Good for them", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He didn''t know that his growing stature was exerting pressure on them and motivating them to cultivate seriously.


    All of them were proud girls and none of them wanted to be left too far behind by Zhan Chen. The more concerned among them was Li Yan as she had nothing to show infront of Zhan Chen. Her sister was a genius cksmith and Kai Min had a blessed body. As for her, her talent and cultivation was her pride but all of her arrogance turned to dust after she got acquianted with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen crushed her arrogance and pride but left behind a mark in her heart without him knowing. Now, Li Yan was more determined than ever and all of her hardwork was only for one person. She wanted to show Zhan Chen that she was also capable.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know the extent of her stubbornness and determination. He only thought that all of them were cultivating seriously for the uing grand sectpetition. He shifted his focus from the girls and spread his soul consciousness towards the outside.


    A frown appeared on his face as soon as he noticed a certain cultivator outside the inn. "He may cause trouble if I don''t take care of him", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    -------------


    Elder Sima of the Hundred blossom city was waiting outside the Clear spring inn. It was the same inn where Zhan Chen was staying with Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    Elder Sima was pondering about something when a sudden sense of crisis alerted his mind. He was about to defend his mind but the attack was so swift that he got overwhelmed within a moment.


    "Problem is solved", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He tried to call out ''Celestial night'', his sword but the sword spirit took it in deaf ear. Zhan Chen could feel that the sword spirit was still inside his body but it was not responding to his call.


    Zhan Chen could feel that it was in a calm and peaceful state at this moment. He didn''t know that his sword spirit had turned into a little girl and sleeping peacefully. Otherwise, he would have feel astonished.


    It had been a while since entered the diagram world inside his mind. So, he had know way to know that the sword spirit was currently resting inside the diagram space.


    "What is going on? Why is it not responding?", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He checked his body once again with his soul consciousness but to no avail. He still couldn''t locate his sword which was still inside his body.<sub> </sub>


    "Well, forget about it. Looks like I have another one beside the Shadow panthress who loves to throw tantrums", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He didn''t resume his cultivation because he had promised elder Cheng to show him the Alchemy technique of his teacher.He had to wait only half an hour before elder Cheng came knocking his door.


    "Young friend Chen, thanks for waiting", elder Cheng spoke.


    "No problem", Zhan Chen replied and led elder Cheng to another room. His room was upied by Lan Yueyue at this moment and he wouldn''t allow any disturbance in her cultivation.


    "Sitfortably and watch. How much you learn is upto you", Zhan Chen spoke. Elder Cheng nodded his head and waited eagerly for Zhan Chen to start his concoction. He wanted to see how could an eighteen year old boy concoct a peerless pill which was only sort of pill vein appearing.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have to prepare anything as all the herbs had already been delivered by elder Cheng in his earlier visit. He took away the required herbs and started concoction.


    This time he was concocting the pill for the panthress to eat. He had already promised her. So, now it was upto him to fulfill the end of his bargain.


    "What is the pill you are concocting?", elder Cheng asked curiously.


    "Purple star pill", Zhan Chen replied.


    "You are preparing pill for your magical beast?", elder Cheng asked with surprise on his face. Zhan Chen nodded his head and continued to arrange the herbs required around him.


    "What extravagance!", elder Cheng became speechless after hearing the reply of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t look towards elder Cheng as he was busy in the preparation of the herbs. He did the grading of the herbs neatly and sorted out the required parts of herbs in an extremely efficient manner.


    Then he opened up the lid of pill furnace and started the process of essence extraction. Elder Cheng felt a thunderp inside his mind after seeing the fire that came out of Zhan Chen''s hand.


    Zhan Chen decided to show him his soul fire because he wanted to take elder Cheng as a subordinate. So, showing his prowcess was imperative to gain the respect of his subordinate.


    The surprise of th elder Cheng didn''t end at the soul fire because the impossible methods of Zhan Chen took his mind by storm. Zhan Chen''s hands were extremely swift as he extracted essence from the herbs one after another.


    It took only fifteen minutes for him to extract the essence from all the herbs. Zhan Chen was decreasing the pace of his concoction deliberately to teach elder Cheng. Otherwise, it would have take much lesser time than the fifteen minutes of time he had taken.


    After the essence extraction, it was time to fuse the essence and concoct the pill. Elder Cheng focused all of his entire mind and soul on the figure of Zhan Chen as he didn''t want to miss such an heaven sent opportunity.


    Zhan Chen mainted proper temperature with his soul fire and finally took off the lead from the pill furnace after twenty minutes.


    A thick aroma of medicinal pill permeated the room as two Purple star pillsid inside the pill furnace. Elder Cheng again be speechless after seeing an extra pill inside the pill furnace.


    "How is this possible?", he murmured in a dazed look on his face.

 Chapter 192 Demon Blade Sect

    "So, have you learned something?", Zhan Chen looked towards elder Cheng.


    "Young master is amazing. This old man has nothing to offer except a bow", elder Cheng replied with a sincere tone in his voice. His adress of Zhan Chen had also changed. It had gone from young friend to young master after seeing the miraculous methods of pill concoction.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the changing attitude of elder Cheng. It was the exact attitude he wanted to see from him.


    He could have easily taken elder Cheng as a ve but doing so would have only earned fear and caution towards him.


    It was a given that elder Cheng couldn''t rebel but he wouldn''t try his best for him either. This was a condition Zhan Chen didn''t want to see.


    So, he exposed some of his abilities infront of elder Cheng to attract his attention.


    The result was as he expected. The request of elder Cheng came just after he finished his conversation with him.


    "Young master, can you guide me?", elder Cheng looked towards Zhan Chen with eager looking eyes.


    "No problem. But before that we most make things clear between us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master can state any condition. As long as it is within the capacity of mine, I will do my best to achieve it", elder Cheng replied.


    "Well then. What I want from you is very simple. I want you to be a subordinate of mine", Zhan Chen looked straight at elder Cheng.


    "A subordinate!", elder Cheng was taken aback after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. A word like subordinate was sphemous to his status as a senior grand master of Alchemy association.


    Zhan Chen was expecting such a reaction from elder Cheng. So, he said something else to pursue elder Cheng.


    "The least you will achieve in you life is being a pill king. I can even make you a pill emperor if you are sincere enough", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You can make me a pill king?", elder Cheng looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in his eyes.


    His reaction was only natural because no one could talk about the pill kings and the pill emperors like this. Being a pill king and pill emperor was no joke. Even the royal Xie family had to show respect towards the pill kings and pill emperors.


    "You are already at the peak of Martial ascension realm. Am I right?", Zhan Chen looked towards elder Cheng.


    "Yes", elder Cheng nodded his head and looked towards Zhan Chen. He wanted to see what was the next response of Zhan Chen would be.


    "What if I can concoct a pill which will help you in your breakthrough?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile on his face.


    "You can concoct such a pill!", elder Cheng eximed in surprise after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Of course. I can even concoct grade six pills. So, what is merely a grade five pill?", Zhan Chen spoke defiantly.


    Elder Cheng was taken aback once again after hearing the confident reply of Zhan Chen. Because the pill which could assist a peak fifth stage cultivator was very difficult to concoct. Forget about grand masters, even majority of the pill kings failed to concoct such a pill.


    If Zhan Chen could concoct such a pill, then implications would be toorge. Because he could assist numerous peak fifth stage experts and made them the powerhouses of sixth stage.


    "Do you have the materials ready for a Heart enlightenment pill?", Zhan Chen asked elder Cheng.


    "I currently do not have all the materials but I can arrange", elder Cheng replied.


    "Young master, are you sure that you can concoct such a pill?", elder Cheng asked again to confirm his doubt.


    "Don''t worry. If I fail, I promise the cost will be on me. I will agree even if I have to pay double", Zhan Chen spoke.<sub> </sub>


    "Then, I shall trust young master this time. I will stake every fortune of mine and buy all the herbs needed for the Heart enlightenment pill", elder Cheng added.


    "You will not be be disappointed", Zhan Chen spoke in a light voice. Elder Cheng greeted Zhan Chen before leaving the room. There was a determined look on his face as he stepped out of the Clear spring inn.


    "He indeed have to spend all his fortune to buy the herbs for the World enlightenment pill", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after elder Cheng left his room.


    He spread his soul consciousness towards Li Yan, Li Shu, Kai Min and found them cultivating. "Hard work is necessary for a true cultivator ", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He didn''t put away the pill furnace immediately as there were some pills he wanted to concoct. He took out the required herbs from his spatial ring and started concocting.


    Six crimson coloured pills were lying inside the pill furnace by the time Zhan Chen had finished the concoction of pills. He took them out and stored them inside a jade bottle.


    "All done. Time for some cultivation", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He put away the pill furnace inside his spatial ring and closed his eyes to cultivate.


    His only target in his leisure cultivation was to polish his core. Zhan Chen started to operate the Celestial yin yang sutra and essence energy started to circte all over his body.


    ? Pure streams of essence energy came out from his core and circted through all fifty six of his meridians.


    Zhan Chen continued to cultivate and his essence energy got thicker with each cultivation cycle. His cultivationsted untill midnight when he was disturbed by a sudden disturbance in his soul.


    "Someone is eyeing her. But who is it?", Zhan raised his eyebrows. He got up from his ce and walked outside.


    His figure faded into the darkness of the night as he left the premises of Yellow stone city. He used the wind chasing steps and appeared near the ce where the cloud panthrees and the other three fourth tier beasts were resting.


    The cloud panthrees resisted her urge toe close to him after hearing hismand. Zhan Chen stayed hidden in the dark as he waited for the enemy to reveal themselves.


    Zhan Chen could tell that there were two cultivators who were hiding nearby. There target was obviously the shadow panthress who was lying on the top of a tree.


    -------------


    "Brother Hu, it has been two hours. How much longer are you willing to wait for their masters?", one of the cultivation asked his partner with the soul consciousness.


    "Brother Ma, don''t be impatient. We have time untill morning toplete our mission", hispanion replied.


    "An early sixth stage and a mid sixth stage!", Zhan Chen frowned after gauzing the strangth of his opponents.


    "It will be slightly troublesome", he thought to himself.


    Night passed by slowly and finally, it was just an hour before the early morning. The two sixth stage experts couldn''t controll themselves anymore as they decided to attack the shadow panthress to lure out its masters.


    The mid stage expert was first to act but when he was just going to strike out towards shadow panthress and the other three beasts, an attack came from his behind.


    "Why!", he asked with a feeble voice but the reply was another stab in his chest. Stabs after stabs followed and finally the body of the mid sixth stage expert fell on the ground.


    Zhan Chen took this chance when the mid sixth stage expert was at his weakest stage. He quickly put a ve seal inside the soul of the mid sixth stage expert and looked towards the early sixth stage expert infront of him.


    It didn''t take much time for him to glean through the information inside the mind of the early sixth stage expert. A grim look appeared on his face after he went through all the information.


    "Demon de sect!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.

 Chapter 193 Hidden Forces Of Northern Desert Continent

    Master, please spare big brother Hu", the early sixth stage expert of Demon de sect bowed towards Zhan Chen.


    "What is the need?", Zhan Chen asked in a t voice.


    The early sixth stage expert couldn''t think of anything immediately. He threw a look towards hispanion and a guilty look appeared on his face.


    He knelt down and spoke, "Master, please".


    Zhan Chen could see that his newly acquired ve was sincere. So, he decided to not tease him any further.


    "Rx. I am not nning to kill him", Zhan Chen spoke. He shifted his gaze to the mid sixth stage expert who was already unconscious due to the serious injury to his heart.


    "He can still be saved if you channel your essence energy towards his heart", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Thanks master", the early sixth stage expert got up and bowed towards Zhan Chen. Then he hurriedly towards his injuredpanion.


    A big silhouette appeared behind Zhan Chen sneakily and rubbed his back with it''s head. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the antics of the shadow panther and turned to look towards it.


    After listening to her silentints, he shifted his gaze to the two experts of Demon de sect.


    It took a while for the mid sixth stage expert toe to his sense. A nk look appeared on his face after he felt the changes in his body.


    "Even, I Hu Jintao have such a day! I am not expecting that", he murmured in a feeble voice. By now, he was aware that he had be a ve to Zhan Chen.


    "Cultivation have no room formentation. Burn your sorrow with the fire of determination. Only then you can cross your obstacles and be a true cultivator", the voice of Zhan Chen rang inside the head of Hu Jintao.


    Hu Jintao felt surprised and turned to look towards the youngster who was the reason behind his current situation.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the mid sixth stage expert looking towards him.


    "What do you want?", Hu Jintao asked.


    "Follow my order for twenty years. After that, you are free to go wherever you want", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Twenty years! Can I trust your words?", Hu Jintao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Of course, you can", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile.


    He left the ce to the two Demon de sects'' cultivators and walked away with the shadow panther and the other three magical beasts.


    ----------------


    "Brother Hu, what should we do now?", the early sixth stage expert asked Hu Jintao. Hu Jintao didn''t reply immediately as his gaze was still on the direction where Zhan Chen had gone.


    "Follow him. We have to follow him untill we gain his trust", Hu Jintao spoke.


    "But what if someone from ancestral palce noticed", the early sixth stage expert asked.


    "We have to avoid the ancestoral pce for the time being", Hu Jintao spoke.


    The early sixth stage expert nodded his head and fell silent. After sometime, he again spoke,


    "Brother Hu, what if we seek your grandfather?"<sub> </sub>


    Don''t think of anything that may irritate him. I can feel that he is very sharp and dangerous. Moreover, we are probably alive because he is aware about the existence of our ancestoral pce", Hu Jintao spoke with a solemn tone in his voice.


    The area fell into silence after Hu Jintao spoke. The early sixth stage expert waited patiently as Hu Jintao did his best to recuperate.


    Zhan Chen returned to the Clear spring inn after dealing with the two sixth stage experts of the Demon de sect. A grin appeared on his face when the early sixth stage expert thought about gaining the assistance of the grandfather of Hu Jintao.


    Unknown to the two sixth stage experts, Zhan Chen had the ability of perceiving the emotion of his subdued subjects. He would immediately know if anyone of his ves had rebellious thoughts.


    "I hope you will behave. Otherwise, there will be a less sixth stage expert in the Northern desert continent", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    He looked towards Lan Yueyue who was still cultivating. She seemed to be deep in cultivation as the essence energy around her growing more chaotic.


    "She will take few more hours for her breakthrough. I should talk with these two during this time", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He waited patiently for some more time. Then he issued amand to Hu Jintao and hispanion to meet him in the Clear spring inn.


    It didn''t take time for the two sixth stage experts to appear in the Clear spring inn. Zhan Chen guided them with his soul consciousness and they found Zhan Chen in an empty room.


    The room was still filled with the fragrant smell of pills. Hu Jintao and hispanion became surprised after smelling the scent in the air.


    "Probably the work of a pill grandmaster", Hu Jintao thought to himself.


    He looked towards Zhan Chen as he was curious about Zhan Chen''s intention. He had already taken Zhan Chen as a dangerous person. So, he wanted to know what such a dangerous person was nning hiding in the shadow. Moreover, he was also curious about the true identity of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the looks on the faces of two sixth stage experts. He was linked to them through the ve seal. So, he could see what was in their minds at this moment.


    "You seems to have too many questions inside your mind?", Zhan Chen looked towards Hu Jintao.


    Hu Jintao nodded his head honestly as he was really curious about Zhan Chen''s origin and motive. Zhan Chen looked towards the early sixth stage expert and he also nodded his head in affirmation.


    "I will answer all of your questions but before that I want to hear about the ancestoral hall of your sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "As expected", Hu Jintao thought inside his mind.


    "How should I adress you?", Hu Jintao looked towards Zhan Chen. Unlike his partner, he was really reluctant to refer Zhan Chen as ''master''.


    Zhan Chen may have subdued him but he still had a backbone. He could work for Zhan Chen but it didn''t mean that he would love to put aside his pride and grovel before Zhan Chen''s feet.


    Zhan Chen could see through hisplex emotions. So, he provided an easy solution to Hu Jintao. From his perspective, such a problem was non-existent as he had not an issue with whatever adress, Hu Jintao was going to use.


    "You can call me Zhan Chen directly or you can call me young master. Call me whatever you want", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master Chen then", Hu Jintao decided after a moment of deliberation. Zhan Chen nodded his head and asked once again about the ancestoral hall of the Demon de sect.


    This time, Hu Jintao didn''t hesitate for a moment. He started to talk about the ancestoral hall of his Demon de sect.


    ording to his opinion, there were at least six peak sixth stage experts hidden inside the ancestoral hall. There were also emperors but Hu Jintao could not say how many of them were still staying inside the ancestoral hall.


    "Your Demon de sect is not counted among the top powers of the Earth province. So, how can there be so many experts inside the Demon de sect?", Zhan Chen asked with a surprised voice.

 Chapter 194 Hidden Forces Of Northern Desert Continent (2)

    "Information regarding the ancestoral hall is generally hidden. Even the Heavenly tribtion realm experts like us has no idea about the full prowcess of ancestoral hall.


    It is only that my grandfather has recently joined it . So, I managed to hear some vague details about the ancestoral hall of our Demon de sect", Hu Jintao spoke.


    "Interesting! How interesting! A force which is is not even the top five powers of the Earth province has several emperor level power houses", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    "Young master Chen, it is not only my Demon de sect. I have heard that many sects and ns are building up their power in secret", Hu Jintao added.


    "Oh, there is also such a thing! Seems like I have to give more attention towards the other powers beside the nine at the top", Zhan Chen spoke with a slightly surprised expression on his face.


    "Tell me. What else have you learned from your grandfather?", Zhan Chen asked Hu Jintao.


    Hu Jintao started to borate the information he had learned and an astonished expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he kept learning the hidden secrets of the centralnd.


    "You are telling me that only the earth province has this many hidden powers. So, what about the other provinces?", Zhan Chen looked towards Hu Jintao.


    "Young master, I have no information on other provinces", Hu Jintao shook his head.


    Zhan Chen stood surprised for a moment as the revtion from Hu Jintao was an eye opener for him. Before today, he had always thought that he only had to watch out for the nine major powers and all would be fine for him in the central province.


    But after listening to Hu Jintao, Zhan Chen rlized how wrong was his assumption about the Central province.


    "Looks like I have to take the Norther desert continent seriously. If the hidden powers of the earth province taken into consideration, then theirbined might may challenge any first rate powers of my previous life", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Young master Chen, may I ask a question?", Hu Jintao spoke after waiting patiently for a while.


    "Feel free", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Which power are you belong to?", Hu Jintao asked with a curious look on his face. Hispanion also looked at Zhan Chen with curiousity in his eyes.


    "I have not joined any sect yet. As for my family, it is located in Clear sky province of western region", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen! Western region!", the early sixth stagepanion of Hu Jintao murmured as if he had recalled something.


    "Brother Ma, what is wrong?", Hu Jintao turned to look towards hispanion.


    "Master, have you been to the remnants of Cleansing Incense ancient sect?", the early sixth stage cultivator asked Zhan Chen instead of replying to Hu Jintao. Zhan Chen nodded his head as a curious look appeared on his face.


    "Brother Hu, you should check this scroll. Master is famous now in all over the centralnd", the early sixth stage expert spoke as he handed over a scroll to Hu Jintao.


    Zhan Chen scanned the scroll with his soul consciousness and an amused look appeared on his face. "So, this is how you have managed to know that I have been to the Cleansing Insense ancient sect", Zhan Chen looked towards the early sixth stage expert.


    Hu Jintao looked at the scroll curiously as he wanted see what was the content inside it. A look of disbelief appeared on his face after he scanned the entire scroll with his soul consciousness.


    ''Zhan Chen- Eighteen year old.


    Killed Lu Weifang, the brother of Lu Wentian of Heavenly sword sect.


    A beast tamer who can fight Core condensation realm experts and create trouble for Martial ascension realm experts. One of the dark horse to watch out in the grand sectpetition.''


    Hu Jintao became speechless after seeing the content of the scroll. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the shock and disbelief in his eyes.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen had a conversation with both of them for some more time. Then, he sent them away with some minor instructions.


    -----------


    Morning sun rose from the eastern sky as it sprinkles it''s gentle rays on the tall walls of Yellow stone city. Li Shu opened her eyes and looked towards Kai Min who was sitting next to her.


    Kai Min and Li Yan opened their eyes after sometime as all of them ended their long night of cultivation.


    All of them came out of their rooms and gather outside.After greeting eachother, all of their eyes unconsciously went towards Zhan Chen''s room.


    "Is young master still inside his room?", Li Shu asked.


    "Probably", Kai Min replied.


    "Is that shameless fellow still not done?", Li Yan spoke as she stared towards Zhan Chen''s room.


    She was still staring and the door of Zhan Chen''s room opened. Zhan Chen came out of his room with a smie on his face.


    "Good morning girls", he greeted all three of them.


    "Li Yan, you are saying something about me?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan.


    "Nothing", Li Yan avoided looking at the teasing eyes of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, sister is calling you shameless", Li Shu spoke.


    ''Sister is betraying sister'', Kai Min looked at the ongoing drama with amusement.


    "Li Yan, is it true?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan.


    "What will you do even if it is true?", Li Yan spoke with a reddened face.


    "Girls, what should I do to her for calling a upright gentle man like me shameless?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min and Li Shu.


    "There should be a punishment", Li Shu fanned the me. She was generally a shy girl but she was very bold infront of Zhan Chen and her sister.


    "Li Yan, why don''t youe to my room for the punishment?", Zhan Chen smiled evilly.


    Li Yan felt flustered after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. Her heart started to beat first as her beautiful cheeks reddened further.


    "So soon!", Li Yan mutteref with a flustered voice.


    "Hehe...", Li Shu smiled after hearing the mutterings of her sister. Kai Min and Zhan Chen also smiled lightly after hearing the mutterings of Li Yan. All of them looked towards her with a meaningful look on their faces.


    Li Yan''s cheeks reddened like red apples after seeing the teasing look on all of their faces. Earlier, her heart was in disarray after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. So, she muttered something which she was not supposed to say.


    Now, what should not happen have been done and she exposed her inner thinking infront of everyone. Li Yan only wanted to find a hole now and bury herself.

 Chapter 195 Golden Leaf Pavilion

    "Should we take a spin outside?", Zhan Chen asked Kai Min, Li Yan and Li Shu. Li Yan was still blushing but no one did anything to embarass her further.


    All of the girls nodded their heads and Zhan Chen took them out of the Clear spring inn. He didn''t forgot to check Lan Yueyue before leaving the inn.


    Lan Yueyue had already seeded in her breakthrough but she need time to stabilize her cultivation. Zhan Chen chose not to disturb her. So, he went with other three girls to take a look around the Yellow stone city.


    ---------


    Yellow stone city was one of the biggest cities of the Earth province. It''s size was much morergerpared to the Hundred blossom city.


    Zhan Chen hired a magical beast carriage and asked the carriage driver to lead them towards the most renowned restaurant of the Yellow stone city.


    "Young master, are you sure you want to go there?", the carriage driver asked politely.


    "Yes, is there any problem?", Zhan Chen inquired.


    "Young master, don''t you know the requirement of the Golden leaf pavilion?", the carriage driver looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No", Zhan Chen replied straightforwardly.


    The carriage driver exined the matter rted to the Golden leaf restaurant and a look of surprise appeared in the faces of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    "No one below peak True essence realm can enter?", Kai Min muttered with surprise in her eyes.


    "Young master, shall we pick another restaurant?", Li Shu suggested from the side. She was clearly interested to taste the dishes in the best restaurant but her like or dislike didn''t matter if it troubled Zhan Chen.


    "No, we will go to this one. I want to see who will block our path", Zhan Chen replied. The carriage driver didn''t speak anymore after seeing the confident look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    He sat on his position and asked Zhan Chen and the other three to enter carriage. The carriage was spacious andfortable. Zhan Chen, Kai Min and the two Li sisters satfortably as the carriage slowly moved towards the Golden leaf pavilion.


    Zhan Chen handed over a few spirit crystals to the carriage driver. A beaming smile appeared on the carriage driver''s face after seeing the shiny crystals.


    He profusely thanked Zhan Chen for his generosity and left with his magical beast carriage. Zhan Chen looked ahead and saw the Golden leaf pavilion which looked grand and luxurious by all means. There was a stone signboard ced just above the entrance and the word ''Golden leaf'' was carved on it beautifully.


    Zhan Chen turned to look towards the three girls and a smile appeared on his face after seeing their expressions. Li Yan and Kai Min could somehow contain their emotions but Li Shu waspletelycking in this regard.


    She was looking at the majestic building with her mouth partly opened. "Shall we enter?", Zhan Chen''s voice made theme out of their stupor.


    "Young master, how can a restaurant be so massive?", Kai Min asked.


    "It is not only a restaurant. There are many other facilities beside the dining. You will understand after we enter", Zhan Chen replied.


    He led the girls towards the stone stairs which lied before the Golden leaf pavilion. They climbed the stairs and were just going to enter the pavilion when two robust looking guardse out to stop them.


    "Don''t you know the rules of our pavilion? Go back obediently or else we will throw you out", a guard spoke with an irritated voice. He was trying to intimidate Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan but when his eyes fell upon the eyes of Zhan Chen, a look of fear appeared on his face.


    The other guard tried to intervene but his body also went stiff after seeing the eyes of Zhan Chen. They couldn''t do anything as Zhan Chen enter the Golden leaf restaurant without anyone obstruction.<sub> </sub>


    "Who is that?", one of the guard asked hispanion with a trembling voice.


    "I don''t know but we must inform manager before anything untowards happened", the other guard replied.


    Zhan Chen had no interest in hearing the conversation of the guards as he led Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min inside the Golden leaf restaurant.


    "Wow!", Li Shu eximed softly after entering the Golden leaf pavilion. The interior of the Golden leaf pavilion was far more beautifulpared to its outer appearance.


    The floor was made up of gold and there was a huge open space at the center of the ground floor. At the centermost position there was a full bloom lotus which was shining with multicoloured lights.


    "Blue sapphire", Kai Minmented after seeing the incredibly beautiful lotus.The entire lotus was made up of blue sapphire and there were many valuable gems adorning it''s artificial petals.


    Li Yan was also looking with fascination as she admited the beauty of the full bloom lotus.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes were not on the center rather he was checking the trasparent looking walls of the ground floor. "Formations!", he murmured to himself after looking around the ground floor.


    A curvaceous beauty emerged after Zhan Chen''s group waited for some moments. "Greetings young master. Greetings young misses. Wee to the Golden leaf pavilion", she spoke politely.


    "Bring us to a private room and serve your best dishes to us", Zhan Chen spoke. The curvaceous beauty nodded her head and requested all of them to follow up.


    Her figure blended in the transparent wall which caused no small surprise to the group of Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. "No need to feel surprised. It is only a formation", Zhan Chen spoke. He held the hand of Li Shu and brought her along.


    Kai Min and Li Yan followed after him and their figures passed through the transparent looking wall.


    A separate ce full of light came to their view after they passed through the transparent wall. There were empty chairs surrounding round tables ced here.


    "It is still early morning. So, we have yet to receive our customers", the curvaceous attendant exined.


    "Young master, do you still want a private room?", the attendant inquired.


    "No, here will do. Bring your best to us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The beautiful attendant nodded her head and left the room but what the three girls didn''t notice that she threw a charming nce towards Zhan Chen before leaving the ce.


    "It is a pity that your cultivation is too low. Otherwise, there is no problem in taking up your offer", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Young master Chen, it will probably cost a fortune here. We should taste only few dishes", Li Yan spoke.


    "Why are you worrying so much?", Zhan Chen smiled after hearing her words. They kept talking with eachother when another group of cultivator entered the restaurant.


    It was the same attendant who was guiding the other group of cultivator. There was a ttering look on her face as she brought the group of cultivators towards the group of Zhan Chen.


    "Miss Xinya, what is this? What is a pretty boy doing in my seat?", the leading cultivator asked. A look of difficulty appeared in the eyes of the curvaceous attendant as she threw a look at the group of Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 196 Golden Leaf Pavilion (2)

    Zhan Chen looked at the neer calmly as he faced the provocative re of the neer.


    "Brat, piss off", the neer spoke agressively after facing the calm gaze of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master Shenxiu, please wait a minute. Let me talk to them", the curvaceous attendant spoke.


    "Well, I will give your Golden leaf pavilion face", the agressive young man spoke.


    "Young master, how about going to a private room? I can bring you there if you want", the beautiful attendant spoke.


    "I am considering that before but now I am not going", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Brat, you do not know what is good for you", the agressive looking young man sneered from the side. A frown finally appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard the repeatedments of the young man.


    Li Yan got up from seat and put a hand on her sword. It was same for Kai Min and Li Shu as all of them got up from their seats and looked at the group of neers.


    "Brother Shenxiu, looks like these group of brats want to y. So, why don''t we go outside and entertain them properly?", a girl from the side of the agressive young man spoke.


    "Good idea. We will break a leg and hand of each and throw them out of the Yellow stone city", the agressive looking young man spoke.


    "It is too much trouble to go outside. Why don''t we start right away?", Zhan Chen spoke and used the cloud chasing steps.


    Next what happened was only a blur as some muffled sound came from the ce where the neers were standing. It took only few moments and before the attendant could do anything, all of the neers were on the ground writhing in pain.


    "Now we shall talk about breaking a hand and leg", the voice of Zhan Chen came who was only the standing person at the ce where the fighting had happened. Instead of calling it fighting, it could be called beating as Zhan had mercilessly beat his opponents.


    ----------------


    "Girl Ruotong, we can''t stay put anymore", an old voice came from the third floor of the Golden leaf pavilion.


    "Indeed, we have to stop him before he inflict more damages to the Ouyang family descendant", a sweet voice replied to the aged voice.


    Zhan Chen was deliberately making threats because he was aware about the hidden experts of the Golden leaf pavilion. He dyed his actions slightly and picked the leader of the neers after a moment of interval.


    The agressive young man looked at Zhan Chen fearfully who was holding him by his neck. Zhan Chen held his hand indiffererently and twisted it by his palm.


    "Zhan Chen, stop", suddenly an urgent voice came out of nowhere as two new persons appeared in the banquet hall.


    "Crack!", a sound came from the hand of the agressive young man as a reply to the urgent voice.


    "Young man, you are crazy", one of the two neer spoke as he appeared near Zhan Chen. Then a suffocating aura fell upon Zhan Chen whose sole purpose was to subdue Zhan Chen.


    "Mid Tribtion realm. How troublesome", Zhan Chen murmured. He let go of the agressive young man as his body crashed on the ground.


    The Heavenly tribtion realm expert who has just arrived looked at Zhan Chen with surprise in his eyes. "How can you tell my cultivation?", he looked towards Zhan Chen after retracting his aura.


    "What is so special about Tribtion realm. I can identify all of them if they keep exposing their aura like you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The old Tribtion realm cultivator red at Zhan Chen for a long moment. Then he scooped up the body of the agressive looking young man and left the hall.


    "You are far too dangerous than I have thought", a sweet voice came from the behind. Zhan Chen turned to look at thest neer who had entered the banquet hall along with the Tribtion realm cultivator.


    "You are really beautiful and you have a sweet voice", Zhan Chen spoke with an honest look on his face


    "What!", the beautifuldy was taken aback for a moment after hearing the sudden ttery which came out of nowhere.


    "Ruthless, calm and in addition has a glib tongue. I wonder how many forces are going to be disturbed by your appearance", the beautifuldy spoke.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen took a good look at the beautifuldy. She had an hot face with big red lips. Her curves were also overhyped as she seemed to have a great body hidden beneath her robe.


    "Brat, your Zhan n had a good reputation. I have never heard of a pervert in your great n", the beautifuldy spoke with displeasure in her voice.


    "If they do not know how to appreciate a beauty, then that is not my fault", Zhan Chen refuted her im immediately.


    <o>,m The beautifuldy took a look at Zhan Chen who seemed to have a serious look on his face. His appearance was still young but his demeanor appeared matured to her.</o>


    "Hold these praises for your women. Now tell me, why have youe to our Goden leaf pavilion", the beautifuldy spoke with a slightly awkward tone in her voice.


    "We havee to have a nice meal and I am nning to show your collection of treasures to them. But some fools appeared and you know what happened", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The beautifuldy took a look at thepanions of the agressive young man who were still lying motionlessly on the ground. Zhan Chen managed to knock down all of them within few minutes.


    "You are so merciless to a girl like her. Don''t you have any sympathy for the opposite gender?", the beautifuldy pointed towards the girl who came along with the agressive young man.


    "Sympathy! Opposite gender! I used to have all of thepassions in the world but not anymore", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You are only eighteen year old. What could possibly have happened to you in such a short period of your life", the beautifuldy asked Zhan Chen.


    With the invitation from Zhan Chen, she sat along with them and started a conversation with Zhan Chen, Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.


    The name of the beautifuldy was Zhou Xiaoling. She was the current manager of the Golden leaf pavilion of the Yellow stone city.


    The Golden leaf pavilion was linked to the imperial Xie family. So, she had received a report on Zhan Chen from the imperial family.


    As the branch manager of a border city, she was warned about the possible arrival of Zhan Chen in the Yellow stone city. There was a picture of Zhan Chen along with the report. So, she managed to identify him as soon as she received the information from the guards of the pavilion.


    "What do you n to do next?", Zhou Xiaoling looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Forget about the future. Currently, I am nning to spend some more time with the beautiful miss", Zhan Chen spoke with a straight face.


    "Shameless!", Li Yan blushed even before Zhou Xiaoling could.


    Zhou Xiaoling felt awkward at first but gradually the praises of Zhan Chen seemed sweet to her. Their conversation was not unpleasant as the timelyments of Zhan Chen managed to liven up the conversation.


    She gradually let go of her defenses and started to talk much more with Zhan Chen. What she didn''t know was that a charming technique had already been used on her from the time they had started their conversation.

 Chapter 197 Incredible Charm Of Zhan Chen

    "Young master, these are too costly. You don''t have to buy such pricy clothes for me", Li Shu protested.


    "Little sister Shu, you don''t have to worry. Pick anyone you like and it will be free from my side", Zhou Xiaoling spoke.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the warm behaviour of Zhou Xiaoling towards Li Shu. After eating the meal together, she seemed much closer to their group.


    "What to do? I will feel bad if I don''t say the truth to her. She is such a good person", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Zhou Xiaoling was a surprise inclusion in his list. She was aMartial ascension realm cultivator with an elemental affinity to earth. Despite her ripe age, she had yet to have any rtionship with opposite gender due to her perseverance in cultivation.


    Now that Zhan Chen wanted her to be his woman, he wanted to say his intention clearly to her. As for whether she would be his woman or not, that would depend on her choice.


    All three girls agreed to pick a dress for each of them after hearing the repeated insistence of Zhan Chen. Kai Min picked up a blue coloured princess robe for herself. Li Yan picked up a violet long dress and Li Shu picked up a soft green frock for herself.


    "Give me a price", Zhan Chen looked towards Zhou Xiaoling.


    ? "Zhan Chen, it is only some spirit crystals. I can manage it myself", Zhou Xiaoling spoke. Zhan Chen asked her once again to name a price but she was firm on footing the bill by herself.


    "Well, it is not like it is a big deal for you. It is only some spirit crystals which is nothing to a rich manager like you", Zhan Chenmented with a smile.


    A smile appeared on Zhou Xiaoling''s face after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen still wanted to buy some random materials but knowing Zhou Xiaoling, he knew he would have to take it free from her.


    "Well, I am not against favour from her but I can''t take it for free. First, let''s see if she is willing to be my woman or not. Then, I can decide what to give her in retu Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He told Kai Min, Li Yan and Li Shu to wait and found a quiet ce to talk with Zhou Xiaoling.


    "What is the matter?", Zhou Xiaoling asked Zhan Chen after entering the room with him. Zhan Chen didn''t give a reply immediately as he threw a meaningful look towards her.


    Zhou Xiaoling blushed after seeing the meaningful look of Zhan Chen on her. "Little pervert, what are you thinking?", she spoke shyly.


    "You know, what I want", Zhan Chen replied as he look straghtly in the eyes of Zhou Xiaoling. Both of their eyes met and Zhou Xiaoling took off her eyes shyly from Zhan Chen''s face.


    "But, how is this possible? You are far too young", Zhou Xiaoling spoke in a low voice. "Everything is possible as long as you agree. To tell you the truth, I am a dual cultivator. You know what it implies. So, it is not strange for me to dual cultivate with a girl who is much older than me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Moreover, your should not think about your age because you are far too beautiful than any younger girls of the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Glib", Zhou Xiaoling murmured shyly as a sweet feeling appeared in her heart after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    "How many women you have?", Zhou Xiaoling asked Zhan Chen.


    "You have already seen two of them. Rest, I don''t want to count. You should count it if you are interested", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Why should I count your women?", Zhou Xiaoling wanted to curse at the slippery fellow infront of her. Initially, she was only curious about the descendant of mighty Zhan n but now she was really reluctant to part with Zhan Chen.


    She had seen countless men but none could make her heart flutter like Zhan Chen. She took another look at Zhan Chen and found him smiling towards her.


    "Miss Xiaoling, I am really interested in making you my woman. So, I want to know what is your decision?", Zhan Chen asked straightforwardly.


    The heartbeat of Zhou Xiaoling quickened after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. A panicked feeling appeared in her heart after she saw the eager look of Zhan Chen.


    If she was not influenced by the charm of Zhan Chen, she could have thought in a clear mind. But it was a pity that, girls were extremely vulnerable to the charm of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was not using Soul seed technique on her. It was only a basic charm which came along with his yang body. As he represented the extreme yang, girls would feel natural attraction towards him. It was more fatal for those who had interest for him.


    "What should I do? I can''t make him disappointed", Zhou Xiaoling thought in a panick. Her heart repeatedly told her to not deny him and her resistancepletely broke after she saw the eager look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "I don''t want you to leave", Zhou Xiaoling replied after a brief moment of internal turmoil inside her mind. She was not sure whether she wanted to be his woman or not but she was extremely sure about this. She didn''t want Zhan Chen to leave her side as their brief meeting brought joy to her monotonous life.


    "You can follow me if you want. I can see that you are still not sure about it. So, I will give you some time but before that let me have a taste of your....", Zhan Chen didn''tplete his sentence as he pulled Zhou Xiaoling towards her. Before Zhou Xiaoling could react, her lips were sealed by Zhan Chen''s own.


    Zhou Xiaoling''s mind went nk after the sudden advances of Zhan Chen. She didn''t know what happened. Only a masculine scent lingered in her mind by the time Zhan Chen let her go.


    "Miss Xiaoling, take your time to think. I wille again to meet you before leaving the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhou Xiaoling didn''t reply as she was still processing what happened just before. She only raised her hand unconsciously as Zhan Chen took his leave.


    "Let''s go", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min whobwere waiting for him in a nearby room. A knowing look appeared on Li Yan''s face after she saw the small smile on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Another one has just fallen for this crook", sheined inside her mind. Zhan Chen was more than satisfied when he left the Golden leaf pavilion. Zhou Xiaoling was a pleasant surprise for him.


    Zhan Chen went to thergest market area of Yellow stone city after leaving the Golden leaf pavilion. It was already afternoon when they came back to the Clear spring inn.


    "Girls, there is one thing I forgot to give you. Remember, the gift I have promised?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.

 Chapter 198 Sweet And Gentle

    "Gift? Is not the clothes are the gifts for us?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion on her face.


    "Of course not", Zhan Chen smiled and took out some jade bottles from his storage ring. There was exactly nine pills inside the jade bottles.


    "What pill it is?", Li Yan asked curiously.


    "Meridian strengthening pill", Zhan Chen introduced the pill to Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Three pills for everyone. Take these and cultivate. We will leave after you girls finish your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Yan could tell that Zhan Chen was upto something but she couldn''t tell what Zhan Chen was nning. She took her share of pills and left with Kai Min and Li Shu. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after the three girls left towards their room.


    "It is cultivation time", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He pushed open the door and entered his room.


    A beauty was already waiting for him inside his room. She opened her eyes after hearing the sound of door opening.


    "Congrattion, you are now a Martial ascension realm cultivator", Zhan Chen smiled towards Lan Yueyue.


    Lan Yueyue didn''t give a reply as she looked towards Zhan Chen with tender emotion in her eyes. She felt very thankful to Zhan Chen but her feeling couldn''t be expressed in some mere words.


    She got up from her sitting position and walked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen also moved some steps and pulled her into his arms.


    Both embraced eachother and Lan Yueyue leaned on the shoulder of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, thank you. I don''t know what to give you in return for your precious gift", Lan Yueyue murmured near the ears of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could see that she was feeling very emotional at this moment. He cupped her face gently and nted a kiss on her forehead. Lan Yueyue felt sweet inside after seeing the gentle response of Zhan Chen.


    Both of them looked at eachother''s eyes and simultaneously went for an intimate kiss.


    Zhan Chen invaded the mouth of Lan Yueyue with his tongue and Lan Yueyue also cooperated with her own tongue. Both of their tongues interwined with eachother as they tasted the nectar of eachother''s mouth.


    Their kiss went on for a while and Zhan Chen took this time to explore her curves with his hand. Lan Yueyue felt aroused after Zhan Chen grabbed her fleshy back.


    "Don''t think of any kind of exchange in future. We are already together. So, what can''t be shared between us?", Zhan Chen spoke to Lan Yueyue after their kiss was over.


    "I was overthinking....", Lan Yueyue was trying to give a reply but she stopped speaking after Zhan Chen stretched his hand and tantly grabbed her lofty peaks.


    "Mmm~", Lan Yueyue moaned lightly after Zhan Chen started to massage her twin peaks. She had a mature body thanks to her age. So, her assets were enough to arouse the desire of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen massaged her peaks for a while then he started to remove her clothes one by one. Her charming body becamepletely bare infront of him after he removed all of her clothes.


    Her body was already warm due to her arousal. Zhan Chen felt good while massaging her peak and fleshy back.<sub> </sub>


    Lan Yueyue tried to remove the clothes of Zhan Chen while he was busy with ying with her womanly assets. Zhan Chen coopearated and his little dragon became free from the bind of his clothes.


    "It is already so big", Lan Yueyue murmured with surprise after seeing the massive dragon of Zhan Chen. It had such an appeal that Lan Yueyue couldn''t take off her eyes from it.


    She reached her hand to grab the dragon of Zhan Chen and a warm feeling surged into her hand after she grabbed the manhood of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen backed away slightly and sat on the bed. He let Lan Yueyue take care of his dragon before they proceed towards the most important step.


    Lan Yueyue could understand what Zhan Chen wanted. So, she knelt down and brought her mouth close to Zhan Chen''s dragon. She licked the tip of Zhan Chen''s dragon with her tongue. Then, pressed her mouth against the bulging dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Slurp! Slurp!", a thought-provoking sound rang in the room as she moved her head back and forth. She used her tongue skillfully along with her mouth which brought great joy to Zhan Chen.


    Veins started to bulge on the body of Zhan Chen''s dragon after it received the care of Lan Yueyue''s mouth. Lan Yueyue did her best but Zhan Chen''s dragon remain stiff even after fifteen minutes.


    "Yueyue, let it go. It need some other ce to be satiated", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue blushed as she knew the implied meaning of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her lips andlifted her up. Then he made her lie on his bed.


    He spread apart her legs and her beautiful cave came into the full view of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen directly go for her cave with his mouth and Lan Yueyue''s mind went nk as she felt waves after waves of pleasure washing over her body.


    "Nnnnn~", she started to moan as Zhan Chen explored her cave with his tongue. Her cave was already filled with water before he had started. So, he didn''t have to do much before she was fully prepared for their union.


    Zhan Chen ced the tip of his dragon on the entrance of her cave. Then he rubbed the soft bulging above her cave for a few time.


    "Yueyue, I am going in", Zhan Chen spoke. Then he gently moved his waist and pierced the soft barrier blocking the entrance of her cave.


    "Ahhhh~", Lan Yueyue cried out softly as she felt a tingling pain in herher region. Zhan Chen massaged some nerves around herher region and her pain vanished as soon as it had appeared.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist slowly and Lan Yueyue started to feel the pleasure of their union.


    Zhan Chen gradually increased his pace. His dragon traveled much deeper inside her cave with each thrust he was giving. The intensity of his thrusts proved too much for Lan Yueyue who was already at the edge of her tolerance capability.


    "Zhan Chen, stop~", she pleaded but it went into deaf ears. Zhan Chen continued to thrust his dragon inside her cave and it took only a few seconds before she spurted out a huge amount of yin water from her cave.


    Zhan Chen didn''t let the opportunity go. He leaned on her cave and drank all of her yin water without wasting a single drop.


    "Mmmm~", Lan Yueyue''s body trembled as a feeling of extremefort washed over her body. She looked at Zhan Chen who was smaking his lips after drinking the nectar of her cave.


    "Pervert", Lan Yueyue spoke shyly. Zhan Chen gave her some minutes to rx. Then he made her stand on her all four.


    "So embarassing", Lan Yueyue blushed as she had to show her back to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen smiled after hearing her words. He rubbed her entrance with his dragon for few times. Then, he pierced her cave with a single thrust of his hips.

 Chapter 199 Azure Stone Pavilion

    Zhan Chen withdrew his dragon with a satisfied smile on his face after depositing thest drop of his yang essence inside the cave of Lan Yueyue.


    He could see that Lan Yueyue was already dead tired after hours long dual cultivation. "Cultivate the Yin nourishing technique. It will definitely bring some benefit to you", Zhan Chen spoke to Lan Yueyue.


    Lan Yueyue nodded her head shyly. Her whole body was aching as Zhan was relentless in their hours long cultivation. Zhan Chen himself had came down twice. So, one could only imagine how terrible it could be for Lan Yueyue.


    Despite the physical exhaustion, Lan Yueyue was satisfied mentally. The hours long cultivation brought her more closer to Zhan Chen.


    She took a look at Zhan Chen and put on her clothes. Then she sat down crosslegged to cultivate.


    Zhan Chen also did the same as he was eager to find out the rise in his cultivation. Other works aside, he had never forgotten about improving his cultivation.


    The longer he stayed in the centralnd, the more he was feeling the urgency to increase his cultivation. There were so many hidden experts even the the Yellow stone city where he was currently staying had three peak sixth stage experts. Their auras werepletely hidden but Zhan Chen couldpletely see through their concealment.


    "I most do my best. Hidden experts kept popping out and there is also that uing event involving Xie family. I need to have sufficient strength while dealing with these ", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He closed his eyes and operated the Celestial yin yang sutra. The primordial yin essence of Lan Yueyue was absorbed by the divine yin Yang diagram which in turn sent waves after waves of pure essence energy into his merdians.


    Zhan Chen sent all the pure esnce energy towards his core and continued to follow the same pattern untill he exhausted all the essence energy of Lan Yueyue.


    His core which lied above his dantian swelled in size after receiving the huge amount of essence energy. Finally, it broke the bottleneck of fifth stage and pushed Zhan Chen into the Sixth stage of Core condensation realm.


    Zhan Chen continued to cultivate even after crossing the boteneck. He was nning to stabilize his cultivation in one go.


    It took another two hours before he could properly polish and adjusted his core. Unlike other cultivators, he waspressing his core to the limit which required double the amount of essence energy than a regr Core condensation cultivator.


    He could have easily pushed his cultivation to the peak of sixth stage of Core condensation realm but he chose not to do so. He used the remaining essence energy in properlypressing and polishing his core. It kept him stagnated at the initial sixth stage of Core condensation realm.


    "Looks like I have to look for sixth stage cultivators. A pure girl like Yueyue could only help me this much despite her fifth stage cultivation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Of course it is a different case if I find a peak fifth stage cultivator with whom I can cultivate regrly. The cultivation will slow down in this process but it is still much faster than normal cultivation method", Zhan Chen thought further.


    He opened his eyes and took a look at Lan Yueyue. She was already sleeping on his bed. Her breath was even and she had a calm and peaceful expression on her face.


    "It is a pity that she can''t apany me. Otherwise, she could have be my regr cultivation partner", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    He spread his soul consciousness and a curious look appeared on his face after seeing a group of people waiting in the ground floor. From their conversation, he found out that they were looking for him.


    Zhan Chen walked out of his room and climbed down the stairs. Two smiling old men weed him as soon as he stepped into the ground floor.


    "Grand master Chen, we have not known it earlier. Please ept our apology for neglecting you", the two old men spoke earnestly.


    "It is not your fault. I don''t need any special treatment just because I am a pill grandmaster", Zhan Chen spoke.<sub> </sub>


    "Grandmaster, this is your greatness. You are so modest despite your achivement in such a young age", one of the two old men spoke. He took out a spatial ring from his robe and handed over it to Zhan Chen.


    "What is the meaning of this?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow.


    "Grandmaster, it is a small gift from our Wu n. Please ept this. Otherwise, we will not have any face left when we return to our n", the old man replied.


    "So, this Clear spring inn is your Wu n''s property?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes grandmaster", the old man nodded his head in return.


    "I am not interested in your gifts but this Clear spring inn has caught my attention", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Grand master, are you interested in our inn?", both of the Wu n old men looked at Zhan Chen with surprised expression on their faces.


    "Yes but let''s talk about itter. I have to attend other guests who havee along with you", Zhan Chen replied.


    Both of the Wu n old men bade their farewell to Zhan Chen after hearing his words. They hurried over to their ns to discuss about the proposal of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen shifted his attention to other groups after sending back the Wu n cultivators. One of the group among the crowd was more eye-catching as he saw several familiar looking faces among them.


    "Grand master Chen, please ept the apology of our ns. They wouldn''t have dare to offence you if they came to learn about your talent sooner".


    "Grand master Chen, we are sorry", several young men bowed their heads together. Zhan Chen found it funny as they were the exact group who were picking a fight with him in the branch headquarter of the Alchemy association.


    "I can forgive them but are you sure that, they will not create trouble for others using their identities?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Grand master, we wouldn''t", the group of young men spoke together. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after seeing their embarassed expressions.


    Zhan Chen met other groups after sending the group of young men and their elders back. His hand was already full with spatial rings by the time thest visitor left the Clear spring inn.


    ''Alchemy association is really proficient in spreading the information. It has been only one day and the news of me bing a pill grandmaster has spread to the nearby areas of the Yellow stone city'', Zhan Che thought to himself.


    He walked out of the Clear spring inn and his new destination was ''Azure stone pavilion'' which was also the biggest establishment for the cultivators of the Yellow stone city.


    Compared to the Golden leaf pavilion, Azure stone pavilion was less luxurious but it attracted the highest number of cultivators due to the affordable nature of itsmodities.


    Zhan Chen blended himself within the crowd as he entered into the Azure stone pavilion. The atmosphere inside the stone pavilion was noisy due to the enthusiastic cultivators.


    Zhan Chen also took a look at the products and a curious look appeared on his face after he discovered some unusual materials with his soul consciousness.

 Chapter 200 An Agreement With The Wu Clan

    "Interesting, There alre a lot of strange treasures inside this Azure stone pavilion. No wonder, it is the oldest business establishment of Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He strolled along with the crowd and looked at the different stalls of the Azure stone pavilion with interest in his eyes.


    The pill stalls and weapon stalls were directly neglected by him as the goods of the ground floor were of cheap quality. What he was really interested in was the treasure collection of Azure stone pavilion where he had noticed some peculiar treasures.


    He skipped various crowded stalls and finally stopped near a decrepit looking stall which was showcasing the ancient relics of the past. Compared to the other stalls of the Azure stone pavilion, this stall had almost no visitors.


    A seemingly ordinary old man was the incharge of this stall. He was dozing off near a corner of the stall.


    Most cultivators would have ignored the frail looking old man but Zhan Chen couldn''t because he had already seen through the cultivation level of this old expert.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen gave a courtesy bow to the old expert. The old expert didn''t respond immediately but Zhan Chen didn''t take offence as it was quite natural for an old expert to be temperamental in nature.


    Zhan Chen had seen many experts who didn''t like to talk with strangers and many had agressive personality towards other cultivators. So, the silence of the old expert was not strange to Zhan Chen.


    "Youngster, the product of this store is slightly costly. Have you brought sufficient spirit crystals with you?", the old man asked with a hoarse voice after sometime.


    "Senior, you don''t have to worry about that. I have brought enough with me", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Choose your pick then. It is your fate if you pick something valuable or somethingpletely worthless", the old man spoke as he raised his head to take a look at Zhan Chen.


    A surprised expression appeared on his face as he couldn''t see through the cultivation level of Zhan Chen. He finally felt somehow interested and chose to observe the young cultivator who hade to visit his store.


    Zhan Chen knew the old expert was looking at him but he remained nonchnt. He was not here to pick a fight. So, there was no chance of any trouble even though he was facing an expert of peak Tribtion realm.


    Zhan Chen picked up two ancient looking circr tes at first. Then he scanned through the collection of treasures and picked up a dirty looking copper te. Hisst pick was a ck colour bone.


    "Strange! Why did he pick up this bone?", the old expert thought to himself. He always thought the old bone as aplete waste because there was nothing seemed unordinary about it. If given a choice, he would have thrown out the bone but it was the ancestoral rule of Azure stone pavilion to never throw out a treasure once collected by the forefathers of the pavilion.


    "Forget it. I should be happy that someone has finally cleared some trashes from my Azure stone pavilion", the old expert thought to himself.


    "Senior, I am picking these three. Plese give me a good price", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Of course. All of them are eight hundred spirit crystals", the old expert replied.


    Zhan Chen''s mouth twitched a little after hearing the price. He still took out eight hundred spirit crystals and handed them over to the old expert.


    A smile bloomed on the face of the old expert after seeing the spirit stones. He immediately pocketed the spirit stones and handed the three products to Zhan Chen.


    "Business is good today", he thought to himself as he looked at the leaving figure of Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen didn''t linger in the Azure stone pavilion after fulfilling his objective. It was already night and he had so many thing to take care of before the next morning arrived.


    Elder Cheng was already waiting for him in the Clear spring inn. There was also the Wu n group who greeted him as soon as he entered the premises of Clear spring inn.


    "Greetings, grandmaster Chen. We have brought our patriarch along with us", one of the Wu n old man introduced a middle-aged man who was standing with him.


    The name of Wu n patriarch was Wu Chun. He was a middle aged man with higher cultivation than the two elders of his n.


    "Peak fifth stage cultivation", Zhan Chen murmured after taking a look at the patriarch of Wu n. A surprised expression appeared on Wu Chun''s face after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Grandmaster Chen, I am indeed at the peak of Martial ascension realm like brother Cheng. I have heard that you are proposing a deal to us. So, I immediately left seclusion ande back along with the elders to take a look at you", Wu Chun spoke.


    "I indeed have a proposal for your Wu n. But I have never thought that the patriarch of Wu n himself would show up for our deal. I am honoured", Zhan Chen looked towards Wu Chun.


    A smile appeared on the Wu Chun''s face after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. He immediately had a favourable impression towards Zhan Chen after seeing his politeness and humility.


    Zhan Chen asked him about the Clear spring inn and the patriarch of Wu n didn''t hesitate to give up the Clear spring inn for Zhan Chen.


    "Patriarch Chun, please discuss this with your elders after going back to your n. You must finalize a a price and covey it to elder Cheng", Zhan Chen spoke. The Wu n patriarch was insisting that it was a gift but Zhan Chen was not willing to take their property as a gift. Finally, the Wu n patriarch agreed to decide upon a price and left with other two elders of his n.


    Zhan Chen finally looked towards elder Cheng who was waiting for him patiently since a while. "Have you gathered all the ingredients?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes young master. Please have a look at this", elder Cheng spoke and handed over a spatial ring to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen checked the spatial ring with his soul consciousness and nodded his head. "Follow me", he spoke and led elder Cheng to an empty room of the first floor.


    It was the exact room where he was teaching Alchemy to elder Cheng. Elder Cheng sat down crosslegged to watch the concoction method of the Heart enlightenment pill but he couldn''t hide his nervousness no matter how much he tried to stay calm.


    "Elder Cheng, please concentrate. You will not get such opportunities even if you want in future", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He started to arrange the ingredients and soon all of his actions started to gather momentum. Elder Cheng emptied his mind and tried to concentrate as it was really a good opportunity for him to improve his alchemy ability.


    Zhan Chen took an hour to extract the medicinal essence from the ingredients. Then he started the final process which was fusing the medical essence of all the ingredients.


    Elder Cheng swallowed his saliva nervously as he waited for thepletion of Heart enlightenment pill. Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing the nervousness of elder Cheng. Compared to elder Cheng, he waspletely rxed.


    The concoction of a grade five pill was no challenge to him and he proved it after taking another hour. "Check your pill", Zhan Chen spoke and took off the lid of the pill furnace.

 Chapter 201 Parting Is Always Difficult

    Elder Cheng hurried over to the pill furnace and picked up the pill that Zhan Chen had concocted. An overly excited look appeared on his face after he observed the pill in his hand.


    "Wow! It is a Heart enlightenment pill with pill veins!"


    "Young master, you are amazing", elder Cheng looked towards Zhan Chen with excitement in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing the overenthusiastic look of elder Cheng. He could understand his excitement though as he knew the importance of pill veins for a peak fifth stage cultivator like elder Cheng.


    A pill with pill veins had a huge qualitative advantage over a normal pill. It improved the efficacy of a pill by many folds and thus provided a huge advantage to a cultivator who was using it.


    If before elder Cheng had a thirty percent chance of breakthrough then now the Heart enlightenment pill with pill veins had raised it to ninty percent. Such an advantage was unimaginable if he had taken a normal Heart enlightenment pill.


    "Thank you young master", elder Cheng bowed towards Zhan Chen. This time he was thoroughly convinced by the abilities of Zhan Chen.


    "I have done my part. Now, tell me whether you are willing to take up my offer?", Zhan Chen looked towards elder Cheng.


    "Subordinate is willing", elder Cheng replied. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard the answer of elder Cheng.


    ---------------


    Lan Yueyue had already woken from her sleep when Zhan Chen entered his room. She turned to look towards Zhan Chen after he entered inside.


    "Have you slept well?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Mmm", Lan Yueyue nodded her head in return.


    "Zhan Chen, I have to leave. I can''t stay away from the Hundred blossom city any longer", she spoke to Zhan Chen after staying silent for a moment.


    Zhan Chen could see that she was reluctant leave but she still had decided against the wish of her heart.


    "If possible,e to see me in the Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will", Lan Yueyue replied.


    Zhan Chen could see her inner turmoil. So, he took her in his embrace tofort her. Two drops of tear came out of Lan Yueyue''s eyes after she leaned on Zhan Chen''s shoulder.


    Zhan Chen gently wiped away her tear and ced a soft kiss on Lan Yueyue''s forehead. "Why are you crying? Have I said that I am going for ever?", Zhan Chen spoke while cupping her face with his hands.


    It took a while for him to coax Lan Yueyue. He also felt a little emotional after seeing the sadness in her eyes. "Yueyue, I have already taken care of the expert you have brought along with you. I can guarantee that he will never cause any trouble for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You have already taken care of elder Sima?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen with a little amount of surprise in her eyes. But her surprisested for only a moment as she regained her calm after seeing the confident look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "It is so thoughtful of you. I am having a headache about how to exin our matters to elder Sima", Lan Yueyue spoke.


    Zhan Chen bade her farewell after a while and saw her out of the Clear spring inn. He sent a mentalmand for elder Sima to protect her well and returned to his room after seeing them out.<sub> </sub>


    A contemtive look appeared on his face after he came back to his room. The sad face of Lan Yueyue had left a impression in his heart.


    "Feelings are only natural. I can''t give up on my path because my goal is already set. Rather I should act more resolutely as it is the only way to protect myself and everyone around me", Zhan Chen thought to himself as a resolute look appeared on his face.


    "I will take care of each and everyone of them. It doesn''t matter how many I will get. I will make sure they remain safe and sound even if I am not present in thisnd", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He sat crosslegged and cultivated for a while. He stopped cultivating when the midnight approached the Yellow stone city.


    "It is time to fulfill my promise. I have to ept whatever her decision is", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He stepped out of his room and closed the door. He took a look at Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min''s rooms before leaving towards the stairs.


    The environment inside the Golden leaf pavilion was calm and tranquil. Zhou Xiaoling was lying peacefully on her bed but she couldn''t sleep for some strange reason despite her several attempts to take a nap.


    She was looking very attractive at this moment as the moonlight was falling upon her alluring face.


    "Miss, Xiaoling. You are looking very beautiful today", a voice crept into the ears of Zhou Xiaoling when she was looking out of the window with an absent minded look on her face.


    "Zhan Chen!", Zhou Xiaoling came out of her reverie after hearing the voice of Zhan Chen. She turned her head and found Zhan Chen standing next to her bed.


    "Am I seeing an illusion? Otherwise, how is it possible for you to appear here?", Zhou Xiaoling murmured.


    Her room was in the third floor of the Golden leaf pavilion and the third was the most secure location in the Golden leaf pavilion. There were many restrictions for a intruder inside the Golden leaf pavilion. So, Zhou Xiaoling found it unbelievable when she saw Zhan Chen standing next to her.


    "How silly! Come here and find for yourself if I am real or not", Zhan Chen smiled at Zhou Xiaoling.


    Zhou Xiaoling finally came to reality after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. A smile appeared on her enchanting face as she saw a grinning Zhan Chen standing next to her bed.


    "Are you leaving tomorrow?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, that''s why I havee to see you before leaving", Zhan Chen replied.


    Zhuo Xiaoling blushed after seeing the heated gaze on Zhan Chen''s face. Her heart beat went up as she saw the handsome profile of Zhan Chen. It was the natural charm of Zhan Chen which made him irresistible for anyone of opposite gender.


    "Xiaoling, I have already told you that I am interested in you. If possible, I would have like to interact with you for some more time before asking you to be my woman.


    But, beleive me. I have no spare time to spend in the Yellow stone city. The Grand sectpetition is waiting for me and even after it is over, the relentless pursual of strength will leave me no time to pursue someone slowly".


    "That''s why here I am baring my desire infront of you. It may seems too sudden, but I need an answer from you. Your agreement will help me immensely in raising my strength. Your disagreement will certainly disappoint me but I will ept whatever your decision is ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhou Xiaoling was listening to the words of Zhan Chen silently. Her mind was not on Zhan Chen''s words rather she was looking at Zhan Chen''s eyes. She could see the strong desire of Zhan Chen for her. Her heart became hooked to Zhan Chen after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    She didn''t give a reply to Zhan Chen but she saw her reply through her eyes. She couldn''t deny that she was interested in Zhan Chen. Now after hearing the words of Zhan Chen, a seed of love took root inside her heart.


    Both of them looked at eachother for a while. Moon light was supporting their vision as they walked towards eachother simultaneously.

 Chapter 202 A Reward For Hardwork

    Zhan Chen and Zhou Xiaoling walked towards eachother simultaneously. Both of their lips met as both of them tried to express their feelings for eachother with their lips.


    Zhan Chen tasted the juicy lips of Zhou Xiaoling with extreme care and ardour. Zhou Xiaoling was inexperienced at first but she proved herself to be a good learner. She started to coperate with Zhan Chen after receiving the patient guidance from him.


    Zhan Chen took off her robe after finishing with her lips. An amazing view weed his eyes when he looked at the thin night wear of Zhou Xiaoling.


    "Xiaoling, you are really big! I have thought you will be good but never thought that you will be so amazing", Zhan Chen spoke as he admired the view infront of him.


    Her peaks were overproportionate to her figure but the amazing thing about them was that they were still holding their shape despite being so heavier.


    A t line followed after her peaks and then a curvy waist outlined her feminine body.


    Zhan Chen gulped a little after seeing the alluring figure infront of him. He immediately sprang into action as his hands went towards her massive peaks.


    Zhou Xiaoling was more sensitive than Zhan Chen had expected. She started to moan immediately as soon as he started massaging her peaks.


    "Mmmmm~",


    Zhou Xiaoling started to moan as Zhan Chen massaged her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. skillfully. Her peaks were soft and bouncy. Zhan Chen kneaded them as much as he wanted as he enjoyed the soft feelinging from her peaks.


    A faint yellow light came out from her body as she became more engrossed in pleasure. "Earth aura", Zhan Chen murmured to himself as he kept massaging the peaks of Zhou Xiaoling.


    Zhan Chen sank his hands inside her innerwear after taking care of her peak. A hot and wet feeling came to his finger as he found the entrance of her cave.


    Zhou Xiaoling ''s eyes misted up after Zhan Chen started to rub his finger on the entrance of her cave. Her body started to heat up as she becamepletely turned on by Zhan Chen''s advances.


    Zhan Chen took out her innerwear which was already drenched by the dropletsing out from her cave. Zhou Xiaoling tried to hide her cave from the eyes of Zhan Chen but a kiss from Zhan Chen made her loosen up her defence.


    Zhan Chen picked up Zhou Xiaoling by her waist and made her lie on her bed. Then he parted apart her thighs and lowered his head to have a taste of herher region.


    Zhan Chen, you can''t leak their~


    "Aaaah~", Zhou Xiaoling tried to speak but she had to stop her words midway after Zhan Chen invaded her cave with his tongue.


    Zhou Xiaoling ''s mind went nk after Zhan Chen started to leak her cave skillfully. It didn''t take much time for her to release her sacred water hidden inside her holy cave.


    "Zhan Chen, thanks", Zhou Xiaoling spoke shyly after Zhan Chen gave her some time to rest."What are you thanking me for? We have only started", Zhan Chen looked at her with an amusing look on his face.


    "Only started!", Zhou Xiaoling ''s face became redder after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. A tingling feeling came from herher region as she looked towards Zhan Chen with anticipation.


    Zhan Chen strippef himself bare and saw his proud dragon to Zhou Xiaoling. A blush appeared on Zhou Xiaoling ''s face after she saw the proud dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "It is all yours now", Zhan Chen spoke and ced his dragon on her hand. Zhou Xiaoling curiously clenched her hand around Zhan Chen''s dragon and a hot feeling came to her hand.


    Zhan Chen guided her a little and she started to stroke Zhan Chen''s dragon with her hands.


    "Mmmm, you are doing good. Carry on", Zhan Chen encouraged her as he felt her soft hands on his dragon.<sub> </sub>


    "Well that will be enough. Shall we start now?", Zhan Chen looked at Zhou Xiaoling. Zhou Xiaoling nodded her head shyly as she waited for Zhan Chen''s action.


    Zhan Chen pushed her to the bed and made her lie down. Then he raised her legs and exposed her little sisterpletely. He ced his dragon on top of her cave and started to rub her entrance slowly.


    Aaaah~


    Mmmm~,


    Zhou Xiaoling started to respond beautiful after Zhan Chen bstarted to stimte her once again.


    "I am going in", he spoke gently and pushed his dragon inside her cave.


    "Aaaah~", Zhou Xiaoling cried out with little pain as two drops of tear came out from her eyes. Zhan Chen massaged the veins around herher region to make herfortable. Then, he proceeded to start his assault.


    His thrusts were gentle initially but gradually Zhan Chen started to increase his pace. Zhou Xiaoling ''s mind went nk at a certain point after receiving the passionate thrusts of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen continued to pound her for next fifteen minutes. He let her go only after she released her yin water once again.


    "It is still so big!", Zhou Xiaoling eximed after seeing the raised pir of Zhan Chen. She started to stroke it again and made Zhan Chen close his eyes in delight.


    "Xiaoling, use your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke. Zhou Xiaoling nodded her head shyly and crouched down to take Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her mouth.


    Her inexperienced mouth made Zhan Chen more excited. He started to thrust his waist slowly and tried to reach more deeper I side her mouth. Zhou Xiaoling understood his intention and brought her mouth more downward.


    "Cough! Cough!", she let go after a while after feeling suffocated. Zhan Chen made her deep swallow his dragon for several times. Then he pulled her to made her ride on his dragon.


    "Ahhhhh~", Zhou Xiaoling moaned in delight as Zhan Chen picked her body and dropped her on top of his dragon. Zhou Xiaoling started to move her waist on her own as Zhan Chen''s dragon traveled more deeper inside her cave.


    Zhan Chen also moved his waist along with her and came down along with Zhou Xiaoling.


    "Are you tired?", Zhan Chen asked Zhou Xiaoling after a while. Zhou Xiaoling shook her head as she took a shy look at the raised pir of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled her into his embrace as he shared a passionate kiss with Zhou Xiaoling. Zhou Xiaoling separated herself after a while and went towards Zhan Chen''s dragon on her own.


    Zhan Chen was lying on her bed while she went on to please him with her mouth. She used her mouth skillfully which brought great joy to Zhan Chen.


    "Slurp! Slurp!",


    the sound of her mouth echoed inside her room as she continued to please Zhan Chen. Veins started to appear on Zhan Chen''s dragon as it received the care of Zhuo Xiaoling ''s mouth.


    A satisfied look appeared on Zhuo Xiaoling ''s face after she saw the pleased expression on Zhan Chen''s face. She started to give more effort and Zhan Chen felt like fire bursting out of his dragon after she started to deep swallow his spear.


    "Xiaoling, get on your four. I have to reward you for all of your hardwork", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 203 Branch Head Of The Alchemy Association

    Zhuo Xiaoling felt confused after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. She couldn''t understand what exactly Zhan Chen wanted.


    "She is still inexperienced ", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He sat up and guided her to stand on her four. Zhou Xiaoling blushed heavily after making such an embarassing position infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen took a good look at her most prized possession. Her peaks were one thing but what was most impressive about her was her curvy back which was she showing infront of him.


    Two bouncy half moons and a narrow crack beneath them. Zhan Chen felt his blood boiling after witnessing such an alluring picture.


    He stretched his hands and groped her fleshy buttocks for a while. Then he ced his spear on the entrance of her cave and pierced it with a single thrust.


    "Ahhhh~", Zhou Xiaoling moaned loudly as she felt the heated rod inside her cave.


    Her fleshy back bounced with each thrust of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her wavy back made it more pleasurable to Zhan Chen as he started to increase his pace.


    "Ahhhh~


    Ahhhhm~",


    Zhou Xiaoling moaned in tandem as Zhan Chen increased his pace. The visual of her curvy back was a huge turn on for Zhan Chen. She was particrly appealing when he was doing this with her in this position.


    Zhan Chen groped her buttocks while pounding her cave with his dragon. He continued for another fifteen minutes when Zhou Xiaoling came down once again.


    Zhan Chen let her took some rest. Then he started to pound her once again. This time she was lying on her belly while Zhan Chen crouched on her thighs and ploughed her from her back.


    Two of them continued untill the hours before the morning. Zhou Xiaoling finally gave up aftering down for eight times in a row.


    Zhan Chen deposited a huge amount of his yang essence inside her throat and then transferred the Yin nourishing technique to her.


    Unlike Lan Yueyue, Zhou Xiaoling didn''t ask any question to Zhan Chen. She only requested for an embrace before letting Zhan Chen go.


    "Zhan Chen, when will we meet again?", she asked.


    "You can visit me in the Grand sectpetition. Otherwise, I wille meet you after joining a sect", Zhan Chen replied.


    He gave her a farewell kiss and left the Golden leaf pavilion. His priority now was to cultivate before the sun rises.


    --------------


    "Cultivation is surely boaring. I don''t know how can these two keep cultivating without a break!", Li Shu thought to herself.


    It was already morning when she opened her eyes. She stretched her bodyzily and came out of her room.


    "Good morning", the voice of Zhan Chen came when she came out of her room.


    "Good morning to you too, young master", Li Shu replied.


    "How is you cultivation?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "It is going well. It is easier to cultivate after I take a Meridian strengthening pillst night", Li Shu spoke.


    "Good, keep cultivating. You don''t have to worry about the medicinal pills", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "We seem to have a guest in this early hours. Why don''t you apany me to greet him?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu.


    Li Shu nodded her head and followed after Zhan Chen towards the stairs. There was a mid stature old man waiting for them in the ground floor of the Clear spring inn.


    "Grand master, a guest is waiting for you", the caretaker of the Clear spring inn informed Zhan Chen.


    "I know", Zhan Chen replied and went towards the mid stature old man who was sipping tea leisurely.<sub> </sub>


    "Greetings senior. May I know what bring a pill king like you to my humble abode?", Zhan Chen looked towards the mid stature old man.


    "Have you seen me before?", the mid stature old man asked in a confused voice.


    "No", Zhan Chen shook his head in reply.


    "Then how did you know that I am a pill king?", the mid stature old man looked towards Zhan Chen with curiousity in his eyes.


    "I can guess that from the medicinal scenting from you", Zhan Chen replied.


    The old pill king nodded his head and became silent for a moment. Li Shu was standing silently in the side as she felt more nervous than anyone present.


    "Who is your teacher?", the pill king asked after sometime.


    "Senior, please don''t take offence. I can''t disclose his name for the time being", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Well, it is not a problem", the pill king replied. He took out a square shaped token from his space ring and handed over to Zhan Chen.


    "Thank you senior", Zhan Chen bowed slightly after receiving the purple coloured token which was the proof of his status as a pill grandmaster.


    The old pill king introduced himself after giving the token to Zhan Chen. His name was Su Mu and he baceme a pill king just six years ago.


    Beside his identity as a pill king, he was also current branch head of the Yellow stone city alchemy association.


    The topic of their cultivation gradually shifted to the art of alchemy and the knowledge of Zhan Chen was enough for a pill king like Su Mu to be awestruck.


    "Why don''t you stay for some more days? We can discuss alchemy which will greatly benefit both of us?", pill king Su Mu offered.


    p "Senior, I have to reject your good intention. The grand sectpetition is approaching and I must leave now for the advance registration", Zhan Chen replied.</anda>


    "It is a pity then. Keep yourself safe in the grand sectpetition", Su Mu spoke.


    He took out a jade bottle and gifted it to Zhan Chen before leaving the Clear spring inn. Zhan Chen bade him farewell with a bow after seeing his good intention.


    Zhan Chen pocketed the jade bottle and looked towards the upper floor of the Clear spring inn.


    "Prepare to leave. Both of them had finished their cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Shu.


    Li Shu nodded her head and went upstair to arrange her things. Zhan Chen didn''t have to prepare anything. So, he waited for the three girls toe to ground floor.


    "I will note here frequently. But you most take good care of this inn", Zhan Chen spoke to the caretaker.


    "Rest assured, grand master. I will do my best", the caretaker replied.


    Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min came out of the upper floor after sometime. All of them baded farewell to the caretaker before leaving with Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, shall we say goodbye to big sis Xiaoling?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No need, she wille to see us in few days", Zhan Chen replied.


    A doubtful look appeared Li Yan ''s face after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. ''When did he sneak out to meet big sis Xiaoling?'', she thought to herself in her mind.


    They took a magical beast carriage and came out of the city gate. Zhan Chen paid the carriage driver and led the three girls towards the wild.


    Four familiar creatures appeared infront of their eyes after they walked some distance. A huge figure came running towards Zhan Chen and it started to rub his chest with it''s head.

 Chapter 204 Sudden Change

    "Good girl, it is nice to see you in good mood. Otherwise, it will be a headache to coax a big girl like you", Zhan Chen spoke while patting the head of the shadow panter.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min smiled after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. Compared to their initial meeting, they were now more closer towards the shadow panther and their own magical beasts.


    Zhan Chenmanded the magical beasts to move on and their journey resumed once again.


    Yellow stone city was a border city of the Earth province. So, they were now very close to the the nearby province, the Dragon province.


    "Young master, are we going to visit the imperial capital?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with expectation in her eyes but Zhan Chen shook his head in return.


    He smiled after seeing the disappointed look in her face. "Dragon city is very far from our route to the Cloud prpvince. We can visit it another time after grand sectpetetion is over", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Shu nodded her head after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. They picked up pace after leaving the perimeter of the Yellow stone city but Zhan Chen could see that something was amiss.


    "Stop", Zhan Chen gave amand and the four magical beasts stopped in their way. A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he scanned the surrounding with his soul consciousness.


    "Young master, what is the matter?", Kai Min asked Zhan Chen.


    "Someone is trying to surround us using numbers. It is not a big deal for me but it may be dangerous for you three", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Brat, you are quite capable to notice us but it is toote for you", a voice interrupted the conversation of Zhan Chen, Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.


    Two figures appeared in the distant sky and they flew towards the group of Zhan Chen with a breathtaking speed.


    "Girls, move back. Keep a distance from me. Your magical beasts will protect you in case of any emergency", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Why do we have to move back?", Li Yan knitted her eyebrows and looked towards Zhan Chen. She was never supportive of the idea that Zhan Chen had to protect them all along. With her personality, she would rather die fighting beside Zhan Chen.


    "Li Yan, don''t be stubborn at this moment. The two of them are Tribtion realm experts", Zhan Chen spoke.


    I have my way to deal with them but what is more problematic is that there is a huge number of experts areing along with them", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Yan gritted her teeth in unwillingness but she still relented after seeing the grave look on Zhan Chen''s face. "I promise I will be stronger. You don''t have to protect us like this", she promised to herself inside her mind.


    "Go, protect them. You don''t have to fight along with me", Zhan Chen patted the head of the shadow panther. The shadow panther had an unwilling look on it''s face but it couldn''t go against Zhan Chen''smand. It moved towards Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min with a sulking look on it''s face.


    Zhan Chen took a look at the approaching sixth stage cultivators. He was not concerned about them but his real concern was the hidden expert and the other warriors approaching them from the distance.


    "Who would have thought that they would dispatch am entire force to deal with me. Otherwise, I would have never let go those Flower striped sand boas. They are of no use to me but they could have atleast protect Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Brat, it is no use to y smart. Surrender obediently. Otherwise, they will also suffer along with you", the same expert again spoke to Zhan Chen.


    It took them only some moments to catch upto the group of Zhan Chen. Both of them hovered in the midair as they looked at Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen took a look at the two Tribtion realm experts with knitted eyebrows. One of them was at early tribtion realm which was not a threat to him. But his real concern was the other expert who was staying silent till now. It was an old woman who had a calm expression on her face.


    "Fourth stage of Tribtion realm. Mid Tribtion realm expert!", Zhan Chen knitted his brows. He was fine with early Tribtion realm expert but dealing with the above stages would put his body on stress.


    "Bring it. I can''t back out anyway", Zhan Chen thought to himself as a determined expression appeared on his face.


    Zhan Chen had readied himself for a difficult battle but the response from the enemies didn''te as he expected. The enemies seemed to searching something as they looked at the sky behind Zhan Chen frequently.


    "It seems like there is no one protecting him now. We will act after everyone arrives ", the silent old woman spoke.


    Zhan Chen tried to call out his his sword but he didn''t receive any response from the Celestial night. "Damn it", Zhan Chen yelled out with frustration.


    He took a look at the approaching experts and a glint appeared in his eyes. "You are not starting then let me start first", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    He didn''t look at the early tribtion realm expert who was hovering in the sky but the early tribtion realm expert felt rmed suddenly. His eyes went nk before he could alert hispanion.


    "One down", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He took a look at the old woman who was his next target.


    "Li Yan, lend me your sword", Zhan Chen spoke without looking at the three girls. Li Yan flung her sword towards Zhan Chen and he caught it with one of his hand.


    "Old witch, how about having a match with me", Zhan Chen looked at the old woman.


    "Brat, are you courting death?", the old woman knitted her eyebrows.


    "No, it is you who is courting death", Zhan Chen spoke andunched a sword attack towards the old woman. The old woman waved her hand and the attack of Zhan Chen was blown away even before it could reach her.


    An attack of the early tribtion realm expert came towards Zhan Chen after an moment and the body of Zhan Chen flung afar as a result. "Elder Su, restrain your anger. Their is no point in getting angry for a fledgling like him", the old woman spoke in a calm voice. But she still felt delighted after seeing the response of herpanion.


    "I will be careful next time", the early Tribtion realm expert nodded his head but the sinister grin in his eyes remain unnoticed by the old woman.


    "Is that brat died?", the old woman knitted her eyebrows. She spread out her soul consciousness to look at Zhan Chen who was already moving towards the approaching warriors with a breathtaking speed.


    "Brat, where do you think you are going?", the old woman yelled as she chased behind Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen''s eyes dangerously glowed as he approached his enemies with a sword in his hand.


    The first in line among the approaching warriors tried to stop his magical beast but his sudden action couldn''t save him from his fate. A line appeared on his neck before he could do anything to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was quick to move towards the next warrior as he kept making shes at the approaching cultivators.


    "Sinister brat, no one can save you from me today", the furious cry of the old woman came out from behind. The early Tribtion realm expert also came along with her as they chased behind Zhan Chen.


    The furious old womanunched an attack towards Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen easily dodged it and moved towards the other warriors who had just recently appeared in the battlefield.

 Chapter 205 Zhan Chen Is Injured

    "Cunning brat", the tribtion realm old woman yelled out in frustration as Zhan Chen kept moving around the warriors while dodging her attacks. She couldn''t use her attack freely because it may bring harm to her own allies.


    She chased behind Zhan Chen relentlessly and finally managed to catch upto him after a while. Zhan Chen had already kiiled multiple warriors in this period of short chase.


    The old womanunched a fierce attack towards Zhan Chen which would definitely injure him seriously or kiil him ifnded on his back.


    Instead of dodging her attack, Zhan Chen moved slightly to his side and thrusted his sword towards the old woman''s chest.


    The old woman caught off-guard by the ingenuity of Zhan Chen as she tried to block the attack hurriedly.


    A sword approached her back at the same time as the early tribtion realm cultivatorunched an attack.


    She managed to fend off Zhan Chen''s sword but the sword attack of herpanion directlynded on her back. She tried to move away but Zhan Chen wouldn''t give her this opportunity.


    Zhan Chen released his soul aurapletely and the mid Tribtion realm old woman felt suffocated. She tried to resist but a sword pierced her belly from her back.


    "Traitor", she could only mutter a word before Zhan Chen pierced her neck with a swift movement of his sword.


    ''Gurgle'', a huge amount of blood poured out from old woman''s mouth as she got overwhelmed by thebined attack of Zhan Chen and herpanion. It was never easy to kill a Tribtion realm expert but the involvement of Zhan Chen meant she had no way out of it.


    Zhan Chen instructed the early Tribtion realm cultivator to keep attacking as he himselfunched multiple stabs towards the old woman. All her vitals get pierced and she finally closed her eyes with rage and indignation filled in her heart.


    "Young master, what should we do with them?", the early Tribtion realm expert pointed towards the warriors who hade along with him and the old woman.


    "Get rid of them. I don''t need anyone to spread news about today''s matter", Zhan Chen spoke with a cold look on his face. The early Tribtion realm expert hesitated a little but he still moved towards his own allies.


    A line of blood came out from the mouth of Zhan Chen as he finally managed to rx a little. The fight earlier was very dangerous as a mid Tribtion expert was too much for him with his cultivation.


    "Young master, Chen, are you okay?", the anxious voice of Kai Min came from the distance. Li Shu was too shocked to say anything as she witnessed the bloody battle which was still going on.


    "Girls, stay where you are. It is too dangerous for you even now. Moreover, I have yet to catch the mastermind behind this attack", Zhan Chen replied as he threw a look towards the distant sky.


    The sky seemed as normal as always but the hawkish eyes of Zhan Chen remain fixed on the distant sky.


    "How much longer are you nning to stay hidden?", Zhan Chen asked in a loud voice.


    "Seems like my cover is blown!


    What now? What are you nning to do with me?", a mocking voice came out from the far distance.


    "If you have guts then leave behind your name and the force behind you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Little brat, keep your petty tricks with you. It is of no use on me", the hidden expert replied.<sub> </sub>


    "I have seen all your tricks and I still can''t understand the unexinable behaviour of these two Tribtion realm experts. It seems like there is a hidden expert of your Zhan n assisting you in secret. But I can safely assume that he has no confidence in dealing with me", the hidden expert calmly analyzed.


    He was having a conversation with Zhan Chen but there no one expect him and Zhan Chen who could hear his voice. "You are saying the truth. But don''t think it will be easy for you to escape", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Do, whatever you like but you can''t keep me today. I will make sure to exin all your abilities to your enemies ", the hidden expert replied as he turned to leave.


    His figure was still hidden but he managed to few a great distance within the span of few moments. "Looks like there is no way out. I have to do it even if it cause great injury to my body", Zhan Chen thought to himself as a determined expression appeared on his face.


    The next moment, it was as if apocalypse hade, everyone started to tremble on their ces. A suffocating pressure stunned the surrounding as Zhan Chen released the aura of sage level soul.


    The hidden expert had already flown to a great distance but his figure forcibly stopped in the mid air. "It is not the pressure of an emperor. It is far beyond their level", the hidden expert thought to himself as a horrified look appeared on his face.


    "Surrender yourself. You force me this far. So, there is no way I can spare you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "It is you! But how this is possible?", the hidden expert murmured to himself and it was thest word he spoke before his eyes looked vacant.


    "Soul fragmentation", Zhan Chen coldly uttered as he used his own soul force on the hidden expert.


    It took him only a while before he found what he was looking for. He pulled off his soul aura and the body of the hidden expert fell limply from the mid air.


    "Cough", Zhan Chen threw out a huge amount of blood after using the full power of his soul. "Finish them off quickly and leave this ce as soon as possible", Zhan Chenmanded the early Tribtion realm expert.


    He coughed off another mouthful of blood after giving themand to the early Tribtion realm expert. His body swayed slightly due to the weakness he was feeling.


    Zhan Chen stabbed Li Yan''s sword on ground and supported himself with it. Then he turned to look towards Li Yan, Li Shu, Kai Min and the shadow panther.


    Li Shu was already sobbing after seeing the condition of Zhan Chen. Li Yan and Kai Min had also be teary eyed after seeing the condition of Zhan Chen.


    They all came towards Zhan Chen after seeing him looking towards them. Zhan Chen tried to smile towards them but it worsened his condition.


    Kai Min was quick to support him as she gave him her shoulder to lean on. Zhan Chen kept monitoring the sixth stage expert untill he finished off thest surviving warrior.


    "Leave quickly. We will meet in the Cloud province", Zhan Chen spoke to the early Tribtion realm expert.


    Hemanded the four magical beasts to take their group away as he rode the shadow panther along with Kai Min.


    "Young master Chen, shall we stop somewhere?", Kai Min asked worriedly after seeing the condition of Zhan Chen.


    "No, we must not stop", Zhan Chen replied.


    Their journey continued untill the midnight. Zhan Chen finally decide to stop after reaching a remote location inside a forest.

 Chapter 206 The Sacred Mark Of The Zhan Clan

    ''Heavenly sword sect, you will pay for this'', Zhan Chen sweared inside his mind before looking at Kai Min, Li Yan and Li Shu.


    "I need to sleep for a while to recover. Take care", Zhan Chen spoke before falling asleep on the back of the shadow panther.


    "Uuu", Li Shu who was holding back her tear finally couldn''t control herself as she started to sob. The eyes of Kai Min also became teary after seeing the condition of Zhan Chen.


    Li Yan was more strong willed than them as she knew what to do in such a situation. She was quick enough to prepare a bed for Zhan Chen with her clothes.


    She took Zhan Chen from the back of the shadow panther and ced his body on top of her clothes. Kai Min came over to help and it was easy for both of the girls to make arrangements for Zhan Chen.


    Kai Min wiped away the blood on Zhan Chen''s face. Then she started to remove his robe to see if there was any more injury on his body.


    All of them took a sigh in relief after seeing no more visible injury on his upper body. They clothed him up once again and sat nearby to look after him.


    The shadow panther who was waiting nearby came over to Zhan Chen after the girls done treating him. She licked his face in the hope of waking him. But her attempts proved futile as Zhan Chen didn''t wake up even after her sincere attempts.


    She gave up finally andid nearby to protect Zhan Chen from any danger.


    "Sis, is young master going to be fine?", Li Shu looked towards Li Yan.


    "I am not sure", Li Yan shook her head as a worried look appeared on her face. Zhan Chen who was sleeping peacefully didn''t know how worried the three girls were for him. He took a good rest and woke up only after it was afternoon next day.


    A surprised expression appeared on his face as soon as he tried to look at his condition. "How is this possible?", he murmured to himself after looking at his own condition.


    All his injuries were healing slowly even without the help of his essence energy. Zhan Chen tried to look at the cause for such oddity and an amazed expression appeared on his face after seeing a small mark on his chest.


    "The sacred mark of tree deity! So, she is still here to protect her descendants!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself as a look of respect appeared in his eyes.


    The mark on his chest was a symbol depicting three golden leaves. It was the insignia of ancient Zhan n and considered sacred for all the members of Zhan n.


    "Young master, are you okay?", the worried voice of Li Shu came after she saw Zhan Chen murmuring something after opening his eyes.


    "Ah! I am sorry. I have just discovered something. So, I have forgot to greet you all", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face.


    "Young master Chen, how is your injuries?", Kai Min asked. "I just need to cultivate for a while and it will be good", Zhan Chen replied.


    He looked at the memory of shadow panther and found out what happened during the time he had fallen asleep. He saw how the worried the girls were for him including the big girl, shadow panther.


    "I will remember this", he thought to himself and took a look at Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. "Thank you girls. Sorry for making you worried", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, who are they? Why they havee to attack you?", Li Yan looked towards Zhan Chen with an extremely serious look on her face.


    "Huh! No young master today?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan with surprise in his eyes. He was used to her adress as ''young master Chen''. So, he felt a little surprise after seeing her calling him by his name.


    "I have decided to call you by your name. Is it fine with you?", Li Yan asked Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    "Why should there be a problem? I am fine with whatever you girls call me", Zhan Chen replied with a smile on his face.


    He chose to disclose the name of the enemy infront of the three girls as he didn''t want any of them to join any sect rted to his enemies.


    A thoughtful look appeared on Li Yan''s face after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. "Okay, I will not go to Heavenly sword sect", she spoke after thinking for a while.


    "But sis, how are you going to exin it to n?", Li Shu asked Li Yan.


    "I don''t know", she replied with a lost expression on her face.


    "What is the matter? Why do she have to join the Heavenly sword sect?", Zhan Chen asked Li Shu.


    "Young master, it is rted to Ba n", Li Shu replied. Li Yan wanted to stop her but Zhan Chen insisted on learning the matter.


    "Young master, you have never heard of Ba n?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression on her face.


    Zhan Chen shook his head as he had never heard of such a n before.


    "Ba n is one of the most powerful n of our province. Some of their cultivators have joined the imperial army and the Heavenly sword sect", Kai Min spoke from the side.


    "So, what is with this Ba n? What do they have to do with you?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan.


    "All of this is the fault of that Ba Tian. He is the youngest descendant of their n head and so, he is pampered by all of their members. He came to know about sister and came with an elder of their Ba n to ask for her hand.


    Our n did not agree, ofcourse. So, they have yed another trick and arranged an outer disciple position for sis in the Heavenly sword sect", Li Shu exined.


    "So, this is what happened", Zhan Chen nodded his head in understanding after hearing theplete matter.


    He threw a look at Li Yan and spoke, "You really do have an appearance that can mesmerize some young fools".


    "What do you mean by young fools?", Li Yan became incensed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. The gloominess in her eyes disappeared which reced by anger towards Zhan Chen.


    Kai Min and Li Shu smiled after seeing Li Yan like this. It only took some words for Zhan Chen to distract her like this.


    "You don''t have to worry about joining a sect. I will take care of this after thepletion of grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will try for a ce on my own", Li Yan spoke. Zhan Chen smiled after hearing her words. He didn''t say anything that would further irritate her.


    "It is time for me to be more prudent. I have never thought that Heavenly sword sect would send ate Tribtion realm expert to deal with me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "I have to ensure our safety and grab as many chances as I can to increase my strength.


    "For that, I have to take the help of an ally", Zhan Chen thought to himself and took out amunication tailsman given by the Lu n grand elder.

 Chapter 207 Best Method For Recuperation

    "Elder Huan, sorry for troubling you. Please send a tribtion realm expert towards the border of Earth province. It will be much better if the expert is a female", Zhan Chen spoke before themunication tailsman started to crumble.


    Themunication tailsman turned into glowing tiny particles after crumbling. Few momentster, the tiny particles also vanished and Zhan Chen turned to look towards the girls.


    All the three of them were looking at him as if they were seeing a monster. Zhan Chen felt confused and asked, "What is the matter?"


    "Zhan Chen, don''t you know how senior the Tribtion realm experts are?", Li Yan asked.


    "Yes, I do", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Then how can you be thinking about....?", Li Yan blushed withoutpleting her sentence.


    "What is the seniority have to do with me. I just need a girl to be eptable and willing", Zhan Chen retorted.


    "Young master is so (shameless)", Li Shu didn''tplete her sentence but Kai Min understood her meaning. She also nodded her head as she also felt Zhan Chen was too thick skinned to reason with.


    "What are you going to do with so many women?", Li Yan asked with an irritated voice.


    "I am going to build a kingdom with them", Zhan Chen replied. Li Yan felt speechless after hearing the answer of Zhan Chen.


    "I am going to cultivate", she spoke and left the ce. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her frustration. "What will she think if she know that I am not talking about a mere kingdom, rather I want a power that can rule over the continent", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The shadow panther came over to Nestle with him and Zhan Chen allowed it to y with him for a while.


    The shadow panther went away after some time. Zhan Chen ordered it to guard the ce and sat crosslegged for cultivation.


    His internal wounds are healing even without his active participation but he needed to be in full health before resuming their journey.


    So, Zhan Chen tried his best and circted essence energy to heal his wounds. He shook his head after cultivating for a while.


    "This method is too slow. It will probably take another day if I cultivate in this pace", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Better I go to the basics and have some fun with the girls. This is the best method for cultivation and I can have a speedy recovery after this", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Li Shu and Kai Min half just started cultivation when voice of Zhan Chen rang inside their mind. They had yet to cultivate seriously. So, it was easy for them to stop their cultivation.


    A blush appeared on each of their faces after they heard the words of Zhan Chen. They opened their eyes and saw Zhan Chen waving at them.


    Kai Min felt slightly nervous as she had never done such a thing in thepany of another girl. Li Shu was rather open to it as she walked towards Zhan Chen while blushing.


    Kai Min followed after her and Zhan Chen asked them to sit in his either side. "Who will go first?", Zhan Chen asked both of the girls.


    "Sister Min", Li Shu replied. Kai Min''s face reddened after she heard the words of Li Shu.


    "Are not you still injured? How can you think of such things at this moment?", Kai Min asked Zhan Chen.


    "I can recuperate more easily if we do this. So, are you willing?", Zhan Chen looked at her.


    Kai Min took a look at Li Yan who was cultivating in a distance. She felt more shy after thinking about Li Yan hearing her.<sub> </sub>


    "Don''t worry. She is deep in cultivation. She will not hear a thing with such a distance between us", Zhan Chen spoke with a reassuring smile on his face.


    "Take off your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke to Kai Min. Kai Min did do shyly but she still didn''t take out her undergarments.


    "Now, take out mine. I don''t want to move much in this condition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Kai Min helped him in taking off his clothes and pulled off his pant to unsheath his sword. His dragon was as excited as always and Li Shu and Kai Min blushed after seeing the majestic dragon infront of them.


    "Sister Min, let me help you", Li Shu spoke as she couldn''t bear the torture of waiting while Zhan Chen and Kai Min did their things.


    "Hmm", Kai Min shyly nodded as she couldn''t believe that Li Shu was bing such a hoodlum infront of Zhan Chen.


    Li Shu crouched down and started to stroke the dragon of Zhan Chen. She handed Zhan Chen''s dragon over to Kai Min after doing it herself for a while.


    Kai Min had already did these things several times with Zhan Chen. So, she knew what to do. She skillfully stroked the dragon of Zhan Chen and turned to look at Zhan Chen to see his response.


    Zhan Chen threw an encouraging look towards her and Kai Min gave more efforts to please him with her hands.


    "Use your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke after a while. Kai Min nodded her head and knelt down to please the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    She licked the forehead of Zhan Chen''s dragon before taking it inside her mouth.


    "Slurp", enchanting sound of her mouth came as Kai Min increased theintensity of her mouth. She stopped after a while to take a breath and Li Shu took the dragon from her hand.


    She immediately put it inside her mouth and started to use her tongue along with her mouth. Zhan Chen closed his eyes in pleasure after feeling the intensity of her technique.


    Zhan Chen let them continue for a while and both of the girls did their best to please him.


    "Sit on it", Zhan Chen invited Kai Min to ride his dragon and she did so without any hesitation. Both of the girls were fully aroused at this point. So, he didn''t have to do anything for them to start their session.


    Kai Min slid her undergarment slightly and sat on top of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her sacred cave epted the pration willingly as a look of ecstacy appeared on her face.


    She started to enjoy the journey which was full of up and down. It took only fifteen minutes for her to release her yin water on the top of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    The dragon of Zhan Chen was already at its best mood as it show its throbbing nerves to announce its excitement. Li Shu gulped slightly after seeing the majestic dragon which was dripping with water at this moment.


    She took the dragon inside her mouth and gave it a through lick. Then she plopped her buttocks on Zhan Chen''s dragon and started to ride it.


    Her tolerance didn''t match her enthusiasm as she surrendered after a mere ten minutes. Kai Min had to take her ce as she resumed her rollercoaster riding.


    Zhan Chen took a bite of her dancing peaks as she moved her waist rhythmically above his dragon.


    The bud above her peak was already hardened as it became more sensitive after Zhan Chen started to y with it with his tongue. Kai Min announced her surrender after feeling a wave of overwhelming pleasure.


    Li Shu took after her and their session continued untill both of the girls reachef boundary of their tolerance level. Zhan Chen also reached his peak two times in this session as a satisfied look appeared on his face.


    "Time to cultivate", he thought to himself and sat crosslegged on the ground.

 Chapter 208 Flying Treasure

    It was already evening when Zhan Chen opened his eyes. He checked his body condition with his soul consciousness and a satisfied look appeared on his face.


    "As expected of dual cultivation. It reduced my recuperation time from one day to several hours", he thought to himself.


    After checking his own condition, he turned to look towards Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. All three of them were cultivating ardently with their eyes closed. Zhan Chen observed them for a moment. Then he shifted his gaze towards the shadow panther who was lying atop a huge gigantic tree.


    "What azy girl", he murmured to himself.


    The shadow panther had a keen sense about the changes in the surrounding. It quickly found out that Zhan Chen was looking at her. She climbed down the tree and went forward to nestle with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen yed with her for a while. He shifted his gaze towards the three girls after he saw Li Yan opening her eyes.


    Li Yan stopped cultivating due to the changes in the surrounding. Essence energy started to deplete at a constant rate and she was forced to stop her cultivation.


    She turned to look towards Li Shu and Kai Min after opening her eyes. Her gaze automatically shifted towards them because they were the reason for the constant depletion of surrounding energy.


    A look of astonishment appeared in her eyes after she observed Kai Min and Li Shu. "Both of them are attempting a breakthrough simultaneously!", she murmured to herself.


    She observered them for a while. Then she turned to look towards Zhan Chen.


    "How is your cultivation?", Zhan Chen inquired with a smile on his face.


    "It is good but not as fast as them", Li Yan replied with a hint of frustration in her voice.


    "Are you feeling jealous?", Zhan Chen looked at her with a teasing look on his face.


    "It most be you. Tell me, have you given some pills to them?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is not pills. But I have given them the most valuable thing of mine to eat", Zhan Chen replied with a mischievous look on his face.


    Li Yan felt curious after hearing the mysterious reply from Zhan Chen. She didn''t notice the mischievous look on his face just before replying to her.


    "Tell me, what is your most valuable treasure that you have given to them?", she asked curiously.


    "Come a little closer", Zhan Chen beckoned his hand towards her.


    Li Yan didn''t doubt anything and came closer. But a confused look appeared on her face after she heard the words of Zhan Chen.


    "It is about my supreme tresure. They just massaged it a bit and it blessed them with potent cultivation liquid. They just have to drink it and you can see that they are already on the verge of breakthrough ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Yan took a while to understand the words of Zhan Chen. The look of confusion on her face changed to one of embarassment and anger.


    "Zhan Chen, you pervert!", she yelled out with a red blush on her face.


    Zhan Chenughed out loudly after seeing her embarassed expression. Unlike her, he had no reservation infront of her. So, he proudly bragged about his yang essence without thinking about any morale burden.


    Li Yan''s cheeks stay reddened even after the passing of few minutes. She tried to calm down herself but a weird thought struck her mind after she took a look at Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Is his essence so miraculous?", she thought to herself before blushing deeply.


    "This pervert has corrupted my mind", she thought angrily while staring at Zhan Chen.


    Their little teasing game continued for a while but they had to stop due to a sudden interruption.<sub> </sub>


    A powerful soul aura approached their ce like a raging tide and Li Yan ''s body stiffened up as a result.


    "Rx. He is an ally", Zhan Chenforted her. The powerful soul aura receded after a while and the silhouette of an amiable looking old man appeared infront of Zhan Chen and Li Yan.


    "You are indeed sharp as the grand elder has exined", the amiable looking old man spoke to Zhan Chen.


    "Good evening senior", Zhan Chen greeted the old cultivator.


    "No need to be so polite with me. Tell me, why have you requested the assistance of our Lu n?", the old cultivator looked towards Zhan Chen.


    ------------------


    "Girl, don''t be sad. I wille get you once the formalities of the Grand sectpetetion is over", Zhan Chen spoke softly as he patted the head of the shadow panther.


    The shadow panther kept rubbing her forehead against his chest and Zhan Chen had to struggle a bit before he could send her away. The other three magical beasts left with her and Zhan Chen finally took a sigh in relief.


    "You are rather intimate with this magical beast. Do you need any extra arrangement for it", the old expert looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No senior, she would be fine on her own", Zhan Chen replied.


    The old expert took out a boat shaped object from his spatial ring and made it float in the air. It becamerge within the blink of an eye and it brought a huge shock to Li Yan, Kai Min and Li Shu.


    "If it is a grade higher, then I could have brought her with me", Zhan Chen murmured under his breath as he thought about the shadow panther.


    The old expert helped the girls to climb the flying treasure and looked at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen easily jumped into the sky and climbed the flying treasure with rtive ease.


    "How interesting!", the old expert thought inside his mind and appeared inside the flying treasure.


    "Where are we going?", he looked at Zhan Chen with a questioning look on his face.


    "Brilliant me city", Zhan Chen replied without second thought. The old export nodded his head and steered the flying treasure towards the higher sky.


    Clouds went past one by one as the three girls enjoyed their ride withfort and excitement. Zhan Chen and the old expert kept talking with eachother as they discussed about various details of the Northern desert continent.


    Zhan Chen learned the name of the old expert while talking with him. His name was Lu Tai Cang and he was one of the elder of the Lu n.


    "Senior Cang, if you don''t mind, can I ask a question?", Zhan Chen looked towards the old expert.


    "What is there to mind about the words of a junior. Ask me whatever you want", Lu Tai Cang spoke with a smile on his face.


    "Senior Cang, is there no Tribtion realm female expert in your n?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Tai Cang.


    "Who said you that? We have Tribtion realm female experts but their numbers are few", Lu Tai Cang replied to Zhan Chen.


    "Why are you asking about them?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen curiously.


    "Nothing specific. I thought my journey will be more interesting if a female expert joins us in our journey", Zhan Chen replied.


    "You have requested for a female Tribtion realm expert from our n just because you find them more interesting!", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen with a stunned expression on his face. Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply as he couldn''t say the exact reason to Lu Tai Cang.

 Chapter 209 Brilliant Flame City

    "Have you ever heard of Zi Mo?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shook his head as he had never heard of any such name in this life.


    "She is one of the most talented elder among us. She is only at the age of eighty but has managed to reach mid Tribtion realm", Lu Tai Cang spoke. Zhan Chen could sense a hint of pride and admiration in the voice of the old expert.


    "Senior Cang, is sheing to the grand sectpetition?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, this time she will bring our young cultivators to the cloud province", Lu Tai Cang replied.


    ''A mid Tribtion realm expert! That is exactly what I need at this moment'', Zhan Chen thought inside his mind and kept talking with Lu Tai Cang.


    The flying treasure flew at a very fast pace and it took only an hour for it reach the Dragon province. Lu Tai Cang didn''t stop his flying boat even after they entered the dragon province. Their journey continued for the entire night and they finally stopped when it was the time of sunrise.


    "Young master Chen, have we reached the Brilliant me city?",Li Shu asked from the side.


    "No but we are very close to it. We should travel by foot from here to avoid any unnecessary attention", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lu Tai Cang nodded his head in admiration as Zhan Chen understood his intention clearly. He travelled along with them and finally the walls of a huge city appeared infront of their eyes.


    "How many days are you nning to stay here?", Lu Tai Cang asked to Zhan Chen.


    "Senior Cang, is there any problem if we stop here for a while?", Zhan Chen asked in return to Li Tai Cang.


    "We still have eight days before the Grand sectpetition start. So, you can take your time", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Thank you senior", Zhan Chen politely showed his gratitude. Lu Tai Cang took out a signal tailsman from his spatial ring and handed it to Zhan Chen.


    "Crush it if there is any problem. For now, it will be better if I do not enter the Brilliant me city", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    All three girls and Zhan Chen bade farewell to Lu Tai Cang and left for the Brilliant me city. Lu Tai Cang looked at their leaving figures as a contemtive look appeared on his wizened face.


    "Too sharp and clever. Even I can''t see through him despite myte Tribtion realm cultivation", Lu Tai Cang thought to himself as he kept his eyes on the leaving figure of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen led the three girls towards the city gate of Brilliant me city. He paid their entrance fees near the gate and brought them inside.


    The Brilliant me city was bustling with crowd of cultivators. Zhan Chen found the owner of a magical beast carriage and asked him about a certain inn.


    "Hello friend, do you know where the Spring drizzle inn is?", Zhan Chen looked at the owner of the beast carriage owner.


    "Yes, it is at the eastern side of the city", the carriage owner replied.


    "Can you give us a ride?", Zhan Chen asked the beast carriage owner.


    The owner of the magical beast carriage agreed immediately and invited the group of Zhan Chen inside his carriage. The magical beasts started to pull the carriage after all the three girls and Zhan Chen entered the carriage.


    "Young master, why are we visiting this Spring drizzle inn?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I have promised to meet someone here", Zhan Chen replied. Li Shu wanted to ask some more questions but her attention went towards themotion which was happening outside.


    "What is going on? Why is there such amotion?", Li Yan asked with a surprised voice.


    Zhan Chen asked them to wait and came out of the beast carriage. Outside, he saw a huge number of cultivators trying to move to the either side of the road.<sub> </sub>


    "Move, move, move. It is the bear guards of the imperial army", the crowd shouted loudly as they opened up a path in the center of the road.


    Zhan Chen felt curious and spread his soul consciousness. He saw a huge number of soldiers walking orderly in the center of the road.


    There was a young man riding a silver coloured chariot behind them. Four imposing looking me tailed lions were pulling the imposing looking chariot.


    A surprised look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen when he spread his soul consciousness towards the chariot. The reason for his surprise was not the young man but the seemingly ordinary chariot driver.


    "Ate Tribtion realm expert as a chariot driver!", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The ordered footsteps of the soldiers approached gradually and soon the huge army arrived where Zhan Chen''s carriage was.


    "Everyone, bow your heads. His highness, the fifth prince has graced your Brilliant me city", a soldier spoke loudly to the crowd present.


    Fear and awe appeared in the eyes of the cultivators as they looked towards the silver chariot behind the group of soldiers. All of them decided to now as many of them knelt down in their ces.


    "Who dare sit inside a carriage while his highness is passing through?", a booming voice came from the front of the silver chariot as an imposing looking soldier looked towards the carriage where Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min were sitting.


    The legs of the magical beast carriage driver became weak after he saw the gazes of the soldiers towards his carriage. He knelt down immediately and three an angry re towards Zhan Chen.


    "How troublesome!", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he looked towards the soldiers who had halted their March and looking towards the carriage where Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min were shooting.


    "Break it open. Let me see who dare disrespect his highness", the booming voice from earlier came again but this time his voice was meant for the soldiers who were marching orderly.


    A group of soldiers came out with their weapons as they approached the carriage of the three girls menacingly. Li Shu''s body shivered as she felt the cold killing intent towards her.


    Li Yan also clenched her hand nervously as kept her other hand on her sister to give her some strength. A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw the situation spiralling out of control.


    "What are you guys nning to do?", Zhan Chen looked at the soldiers who wasing towards the carriage.


    "Brat, step back", a soldier warned Zhan Chen and charged towards the beast carriage.


    "Thud! Thud", to the surprise of onlookers it was not carriage which broke apart but it was the five soldiers who had crashed into the ground.


    "Dare to challenge imperial army. Brat, you have a death wish", themanding voice came again.


    This time a wave of soldiers came towards Zhan Chen and the carriage. "I will kill as much as you send", Zhan Chen spoke with a cold look on his face.


    His figure vanished from his location as he moved towards the nearby soldier. A thin cut appeared on the neck of the soldier before he could swing his weapon towards him.


    Other soldiers tried tounch attacks towards him but none of their attacksnded on Zhan Chen''s body.


    His figure shimmer erratically as thin lines appeared on the necks of the approaching soldiers.


    It was only few moments but all the soldiers fallen beforending an attack on Zhan Chen. "How dare you?", themanding voice came again. This time the onlookers manage to see a glimpse of the soldier who wasmanding the soldiers.


    The soldier who came out this time was a tall man with a burly looking body. He was carrying heavy swords in both of his hands.

 Chapter 210 The Scion Of Zhan Clan

    "Look, it is Ma Shuo this time. No one has ever escaped alive after irking Ma Shuo", the onlookers started to talk among themselves.


    A vicious grin appeared on Ma Shuo''s face as he approached Zhan Chen with long strides. Then he swung his heavy swords towards Zhan Chen after reaching near him.


    Zhan Chen was preparing to dodge when he felt something. The swords of Ma Shuo froze in midair beforending on Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Commander, back away. Let me handle this matter from now on", a tranquil voice came from the sky.


    It was the driver of the silver chariot who chose to appear in the sky and stopped the fight between Ma Shuo and Zhan Chen.


    "Yes senior", Ma Shuo tried his best to calm his anger and left after bowing towards the driver of the silver chariot.


    "Little friend, sorry for the inconveniences. I hope you will not hold it against us", the old expert spoke to Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, it is not your fault", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Are you going to the cloud province?", the old chariot driver asked Zhan Chen.


    "Yes senior", Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply.


    The old chariot driver sent a mental message to him before leaving towards the chariot. The soldiers arranged themselves as usual and took away the body of the fallen soldiers along with them.


    "We should also move. Drive the carriage", Zhan Chen spoke to the beast carriage driver. The magical beast carriage started rolling after he entered inside.


    ------------


    "Elder Sheng, why did you let that man go? He has the nerve to challenge the army of our imperial family in broad daylight", a voice came from the chariot.


    "What are you wishing to do with him? Let me make one thing clear, none of the forces in our Northern desert continent can openly act against him", the old chariot driver spoke while controlling the movement of the chariot.


    "Elder Sheng, you are exaggerating. Who might he be that none of the forces dare act against him?", a voice full of disbelief came from the chariot.


    "You have already heard about him. The scion of Zhan n, Zhan Chen", the old expert spoke with a calm appearance on his face.


    "What? He is Zhan Chen! Why he is travelling with some ordinary girls?", the fifth prince eximed with confusion all over his face.


    "Young master Chen, you are really reckless this time", Kai Min spoke after Zhan Chen entered the carriage.


    "Young master, you do not have to do this. What will happen if the imperial family got angry with you?", Li Shu asked with deep concern in her voice. There was also a hint of trepidation in her voice because she was talking about the mighty Xie family.


    "Centralnd, nine superpowers, they may appear mighty but beleive me, their value is nothing in my eyes whenpared to you girls'' safety", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Shu blushed after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. Li Yan tried to memorize this look on the face of Zhan Chen which appeared mighty and confident while protecting them.


    "I will remember this kindness. I have to work hard to catch upto you", she thought to herself.


    Their conversation didn''tst long because the beast carriage stopped after reaching their destination. A three storied building appeared infront of their eyes after they got off from the magical beast carriage.


    There was a wooden nk at the entrance of the building where the word ''Spring drizzle inn'' was written. Zhan Chen handed over a few spirit crystals to the beast carriage owner and led the girls inside the Spring drizzle inn.


    He spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding and a smile appeared on his face. "So, she is staying in the first floor", he thought to himself.


    "Give us five of your best rooms in the second floor", Zhan Chen spoke to the caretaker of the Spring drizzle inn.


    "Young man, it is seventy spirit crystals for each room. Have you brought the amount with you?", the midaged caretaker looked towards Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen took out five rectangr shaped stones from his spatial ring and handed it over to the midaged caretaker.


    "Young man, are you paying with spirit stones?", the midaged caretaker looked towards Zhan Chen with astonishment in her eyes. Zhan Chen nodded his head and calmly looked towards the midaged woman infront of him.


    "Come with me. I will bring you to the best rooms avable in our inn", the midaged caretaker spoke.


    "Rooms are good but they are so expensive", Li Shu spoke after checking out her new room.


    Spirit crystals were scarce back in their n. As for the spirit stones, Li Shu had never received any in her lifetime. So, after seeing Zhan Chen using spirit stones for their staying, a sour feeling appeared in her heart.


    "Why are youining about spirit stones? It will have no value for you after you reach the rank of grandmaster ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But, I am only a master weapon smith now", Li Shu replied.


    "You have the talent. You only have to practice some more and you can be a grand master", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He settled the three girls inside their rooms. Then walked towards the first floor.


    ''Knock, knock'', Zhan Chen went over and knocked the door of a corner room. The door opened up after sometime and a mature beauty appeared infront of his eyes.


    "Madam Lin, we meet again", Zhan Chen smiled towards the mature beauty standing infront of him.


    The beauty infront of him was Lin Xintong whom he met inside the Redwood forest. He had promised to concoct a pill for her daughter. So, he was here to fulfill his end of bargain.


    "Please,e inside", Lin Xintong spoke and opened the door wide as an inviting gesture to Zhan Chen.


    "Have you brought the ingredients?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lin Xintong.


    "I have brought them but are you sure that you can concoct the Core rebirth pill?", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t reply to her but took out a square shaped token. He pushed the token towards Lin Xintong.


    "Purple token! You have tested yourself as a grand master?", she looked towards Zhan Chen with astonishment in her eyes.


    "Yes, in the Yellow stone city branch of the Alchemy association", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Shall we start?", he looked towards Lin Xintong. Lin Xintong took out the ingredients she had gathered for her daughter carefully.


    "Check the ingredients", she spoke to Zhan Chen. "No need to check. The materials are sufficient for two Core rebirth pills", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I have brought an extra portion incase there is a failure", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "You are really careful. Looks like you love your daughter very much", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He started to arrange the ingredients carefully. Then he took out the pill furnace and started the process of concoction.


    He opened up the lid and threw the ingredients inside the the pill furnace one by one. Pure medicinal essence came out from the ingredients and Zhan Chen collected them inside the jade bottles.


    It took him only half an hour before he was finished with all the ingredients that Lin Xintong had brought.


    "How is this possible!", Lin Xintong eximed from the side as she witnessed the godly skill of Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 211 Decision Of Lin Xintong

    "Core rebirth pills are ready", Zhan Chen opened up the lid and looked towards Lin Xintong. A strong arms came from the pill furnace and permeated into the surrounding.


    Lin Xintong hurried over to the pill furnace and two drops of tear came out from her eyes. "Two Core rebirth pills. My Xiao''er can finally cultivate again", she murmured softly.


    Zhan Chen felt bad for her. So, he waited sometime for her to calm down. He took out pills from the pill furnace and handed them over to Lin Xintong.


    "Young master Chen, how should I thank you? I don''t have any such thing with which I can repay your great kindness", Lin Xintong spoke as she bowed towards Zhan Chen.


    A gentle soul force came out from Zhan Chen and lifted her head up. "There is no need to do this. You know my motive to help you. Now, I need an answer from you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lin Xintong stayed silent as an undecided look appeared on her face. "I am not forcing you. You don''t have to do this just because I have helped you. Consider this properly whether you are okay with doing dual cultivation with me", Zhan Chen spoke to Lin Xintong.


    Lin Xintong thought for a while. Then looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was also looking at her at the same time.


    "Both of their eyes met and Lin Xintong felt an irresistible urge to say yes to Zhan Chen. But she managed to control herself as a reddened hue appeared on her face.


    "Young master Chen, can you help me onest time?", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Sure, tell me what do you need", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Please bring my daughter out of the Serpent moon sect. Her life will be in danger if her father got wind of something about us", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "What about your father? Will he be fine if you two leave?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "I don''t know. But the real danger is to my daughter. They want to ruin her due to her talent", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "Don''t worry. I will help you in rescuing both your daughter and father. Now tell me, have you made up your mind", Zhan Chen asked Lin Xintong.


    "I have been abandoned by my husband already. So, there is no problem in agreeing to young master''s proposal", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "Then, what are we waiting for?", Zhan Chen spoke and took a step towards Lin Xintong.


    Lin Xintong also took asyep forward as both of them closed the distance between them. Lin Xintong was unsure about herself as she didn''t know why Zhan Chen had choosen such an ageddy like her. But a soft sensation on her lips made her aware about Zhan Chen''s desire towards her.


    Lin Xintong had prior experience. So, she started to coopearate with Zhan Chen after a while. They shared good kiss between them and Lin Xintong desired for more after receiving a passionate kiss from Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen gave her another kiss on her lips. The. Started to undress her. Lin Xintong tried to hide her assets but her assets were far bigger than what her hands could hide.


    Her peaks were notparable to Zhou Xiaoling but she was way more bigger than the other women of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen kneaded her peaks as he liked. Then he proceeded towards her secret garden. He took out thest piece of her cloth and her secret garden came to his view.


    There was a patch of grass just above her secret garden but Zhan Chen didn''t mind it at all. "Young master Chen, can you wait a little bit? I am not expecting this. So, I have forgot to clean myself properly", Lin Xintong spoke shyly.


    "There is no need. I ampletely fine with this. It has its own charm", Zhan Chen spoke as he moved his hand towards her sacred garden.


    A wet sensation came to Zhan Chen''s hand when he rubbed his finger on her entrance. Lin Xintong started to moan softly as Zhan Chen pushed his finger inside her cave.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen let her go when he felt she waspletely ready for dual cultivation. "It is your tu Zhan Chen spoke to Lin Xintong and take off his own robe.


    Lin Xintong took a step forward and went close to Zhan Chen. Then she crouched slightly and pulled the pant of Zhan Chen.


    Her eyes stay glued to the beast that hade out after she had pulled off the pant of Zhan Chen.


    "So big", she eximed softly after seeing the mighty dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Miss Lin, now it is in your care. I have to remind you that it is very demanding", Zhan Chen spoke with a grin on his face.


    Lin Xintong gulped slightly anf wrapped her hand around the spear of Zhan Chen. Then she started to stroke it softly and felt the warmthing from Zhan Chen''s spear.


    "Young master Chen, please take a seat", Lin Xintong spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat on the edge of her bed.


    Lin Xintong knelt down on the ground and brought her mouth close to Zhan Chen''s dragon. Then she put the dragon inside her mouth and sucked it skillfully.


    Zhan Chen closed his eyes after a while as the technique of Lin Xintong was too enjoyable. She was doing her best in pleasing him as she started to lick his family treasures after licking his dragon.


    Zhan Chen felt a soft feeling surrounding his dragon after a while. The feeling was so enjoyable that he was almost close to reaching his peak.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes and saw how Lin Xintong was pleasing his dragon. She had wrapped her peaks around his dragon and moving her body.


    "Good technique. I have seen it but never applied it", Zhan Chen spoke to Lin Xintong.


    "Well, it should be enough for now. Now, get on your four and let me have a look at your back", Zhan Chen spoke to Lin Xintong.


    Lin Xintong blushed but she was not at all reserved like other inexperienced girls. She was an obedient woman before. So, she knew how to bepliant with the wishes of her man.


    She climbed on the bed and stood on her four. Her charming back waspletely exposed infront of Zhan Chen''s eyes now.


    Zhan Chen kneaded her perky buttock a little. Then he slid his dragon inside her curvy back. He traced from the top of her crack and finally shoved it inside after finding the proper gap.


    "Madam Lin, you are still so tight", Zhan Chenmented after pushing his dragon inside the cave of Lin Xintong.


    "It has been nine years since I have done anything. Young master Chen, thanks for choosing me as your cultivation partner", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "If you are really thankful, then you have to properly cooperate with me. For now, brace yourself. I am going to move", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Aaaah~


    Mmmm~", Lin Xintong started to moan as Zhan Chen started to move his hips slowly. He increased his speed gradually as waves started to appear on the fleshy back of Lin Xintong.


    "Young master Chen, it is too deep~", Lin Xintong moaned as Zhan Chen continued to pound her from her back. Lin Xintong couldn''t hold herself anymore after receiving Zhan Chen''s pounding for fifteen minutes.


    A huge stream of water came out from her sacred cave which drenched Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from her cave and let her take some rest.

 Chapter 212 Li Shus Curiousity

    "Both of them started cultivating as soon as they entered their rooms. What about me? I am not a cultivation maniac like these two", Li Shuined to herself while lying on her bed.


    These few days had been too hectic for her. First those fearsome experts who came to attack their group. Then the injury of Zhan Chen, Li Shu was feeling mentally exhausted this time.


    She tried to sleep but couldn''t do so. After lying on her bed for one or two hours, she tried to cultivate but she couldn''t focus no matter how much she tried.


    "What should I do? Should I go check what young master is doing?", she murmured to herself.


    While Li Shu was unsure of what to do, Zhan Chen was busy in pounding Lin Xintong. This time she was lying on her back and Zhan Chen was busy in exploring her cave with his dragon.


    "Young master Chen~ please move a little slower~", Lin Xintong continued to moan as Zhan Chen kept pounding her continuously.


    He decided to slow down a little after hearing her repeated begging. She had lit up his wanton desire but it was a fact that she would feel strain after hours long cultivation.


    "Young master Chen, you can move after a while", Lin Xintong spoke shyly as she looked towards Zhan Chen with affectionate eyes.


    "Do you know you are really amazing?", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "How so?", Zhan Chen felt an urging to pound her again after seeing her affection eyes. Lin Xintong blushed as she could feel the twitching of Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her cave.


    "I have never heard of any men who canst this long. Seasoned dual cultivators may be capable but all of them are old monsters", Lin Xintong spoke while blushing.


    "So, have you made up your mind to be one of my partners?", Zhan Chen asked her.


    "You have to keep our affair a secret. I can''t talk about it infront of my father and daughter ", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "No problem. I will not announce it for the time being. But we can do itter in future", Zhan Chen spoke and started to move his hips.


    Lin Xintong once again sank into the pleasure of sea as she started to let out enchanting moans. "Knock, knock", a sound came from the door in the meantime which forced Zhan Chen and Lin Xintong to stop.


    "She has finally decided toe out of her room", Zhan Chen murmured with an evil smile on his face.


    "Young master Chen, let me put on my clothes first. You can open the door after I got dressed", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "What is the hurry?", Zhan Chen spoke and took a bite of Lin Xintong ''s peaks.


    A look of enjoyment appeared on Lin Xintong ''s face but she trito control herself. "Young master Chen, you should attend the guest first", she spoke while trying to stop the advances of Zhan Chen.


    "Say Xintong, is there any problem if one of my woman join us?", Zhan Chen whispered near her ear.


    "What! But how can we do this? It is so embarassing", Lin Xintong spoke with a reddened hue on her face.


    "Tell me. Whether you are agreeing or not. I personally have no problem with it. So, it is upon you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lin Xintong wanted to deny but a tingling sensation came from her cave as she felt more excited for some reason.


    "Your mind want to deny but your body don''t want to. I can see that you also find it more interesting", Zhan Chen spoke.<sub> </sub>


    "No, I am not such a woman. To think that doing with other woman!", Lin Xintong blushed.


    "When do I say you have to do anything with Li Shu. You really are wild in your preference", Zhan Chen smiled and left towards the door after giving a squeeze to Lin Xintong ''s peaks.


    "Young master, please don''t do this", Lin Xintong resisted feebly but she didn''t feel that much resistance in her heart. She was already naked. So, she found another kind of guilty pleasure after thinking about doing it infront of another woman.


    Li Shu waited for a while and was just going to return to her room with a disappointed face but Zhan Chen''s door opened and a hand came out to pull her inside the room.


    "What is going on!", Li Shu stuttered slightly after seeing a naked mature woman and the smiling Zhan Chen.


    "Such a young girl", Lin Xintong hurried tried to cover her body with the bedding material.


    "Sorry, I will leave immediately", Li Shu spoke with reddened cheeks and tried to escape Zhan Chen''s hand.


    "How about joining us? Beleive me it will be fun", Zhan Chen spoke to her in a low voice.


    Li Shu blushed and tried to say something but Zhan Chen took her lips immediately after speaking his words.


    Li Shu wanted to escape but the desire of Zhan Chen was enough to think her otherwise. Few secondster, she started to respond positively to Zhan Chen''s advances.


    Generally, a woman felt conflicted when she saw her beloved with another woman but Lin Xintong acted otherwise. Even, she didn''t know she had such a side to her when it came to pleasure of body and mind.


    She rubbed her slit on her own after seeing Zhan Chen wildly kissing and groping Li Shu. Clothes flew off after sometime and the bare body of Li Shu came to view of Zhan Chen and Lin Xintong.


    "Such a budding beauty", Lin Xintong thought to herself and started to rub the entrance of her cave more vigorously. She was not aware that her preference was so wildpared to other women.


    "Why are you doing it on your own? I am here to take care of you", Zhan Chen smiled towards Lin Xintong.


    "Come here. It needs your mouth", she further ordered to Lin Xintong.


    Lin Xintong didn''te immediately and looked towards Li Shu. "Women are such a contradictory species", Zhan Chen thought to himself after seeing Lin Xintong ''s behaviour.


    "Li Shu, it is upto you now", Zhan Chen put Li Shu ''s hand on his dragon.


    Li Shu didn''t have such conflicting thoughts like Lin Xintong. Her mind and body waspletely devoted to Zhan Chen. So, she immediately started to act after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    She knelt down and licked Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen looked towards Lin Xintong after Li Shu moved down to pleasure his dragon.


    "What are you waiting for?", he spoke to Lin Xintong. Lin Xintong took off the bedding and came down.


    Li Shu felt surprised after seeing the movingbassets on her body. But she had no other interest than Zhan Chen. So, she focused back on the most loving treasure of Zhan Chen.


    "Miss, let me help you", Lin Xintong spoke and joined Li Shu. Li Shu felt surprised after seeing her taking Zhan Chen''s dragon into such a depth inside her mouth.


    Li Shu tried to did the same and both of their care made Zhan Chen float in the clouds of pleasure. He let them continue for a while. Then, he deposited a huge amount of yang essence inside the mouth of Li Shu.

 Chapter 213 Elder Sheng Of The Imperial Family

    "What a wild girl here we have!", Zhan Chen murmured after seeing the look of envy on Lin Xintong ''s face. Her face was clearly asking, "Where is my share?"


    "Come over here. Crouch down and raise your waist a little higher", Zhan Chen spoke. Lin Xintong did as he spoke and raised her hips while keeping her head low.


    Zhan Chen grabbed her fleshy buttocks with both of his hands and inserted his dragon in between them. Wild thrusting followed after it and Lin Xintong who was already on the verge of leaking, poured out a stream of holy water from her sacred cave.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t let Li Shu suffer in the side. He scooped her up and made her sit in hisp. A wild game followed and it was between a boy and two girls.


    ----------------


    "Elder Sheng, what do you mean? Is it really important to make Zhan Chen our friend?", a dashing youth looked towards the driver of the silver chariot.


    "Little Lian, don''t take him lightly. His cultivator may be lower than you but I am not sure if you can defeat him?", the old expert replied.


    A serious expression appeared on the face of the youth, after hearing the words of the old expert. He knew that elder Sheng would generally adress him as prince but he would call him little Lian whenever there was a serious matter.


    "Little Lian, take a look at it. You will understand after reading the news inside it", the old expert spoke and took out a scroll from his spatial ring.


    ''Two tribtion realm experts are killed. Moreover, one of them is ate tribtion realm expert. Several other martial ascension realm experts are also killed but their deaths are not worth mentioning.


    The most notable fact is that this incident is probably realted to Zhan Chen and Zhan n'',


    a surprised expression appeared on the face of the youth after he read the content of the scroll.


    "Do you understand now? It is important for us to bring him to our side", the old expert spoke.


    "Elder Sheng, thank you for reminding me. I will go right away to meet him", the youth replied.


    "There is no need for that. Let me first go and check him out. If he agrees to help us then we can discuss further cooperation with him", the old expert spoke.


    The youth nodded his head and the old expert vanished from his sight. A thoughtful expression appeared on the face of the youth after the old expert left. "No matter how talented he is, can he help me in the uing inheritance groundpetetion?", he thought to himself.


    While the old expert and the youth were discussing about Zhan Chen, he was busy with two of his girls. One was mature, another was youthful.


    He finally decided to stop after both of the girl girls tire themselvespletely. "Li Shu, give the Yin nourishment technique to Xintong. You two should take some rest and cultivate. We can begin once again after I retu Zhan Chen spoke.


    He left the Spring drizzle inn with a satisfied smile on his face while the two girls started to cultivate. He asked a beast carriage driver to give him a ride and rode towards the centermost location of the Brilliant me city.


    The carriage rolled in the road for a while and it finally stopped infront of a two storied building. "Young master, we have reached the Longevity restaurant", the carriage driver spoke after stopping his beast carriage.


    Zhan Chen gave some spirit crystals to the carriage driver and walked towards the two storied building infront of him. The word ''Longevity'' was carved on the entrance of the restaurant and the restaurant had an ancient aura about it.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and a smile appeared on his face after he saw the old expert inside the Longevity restaurant. "Seems like I amte", he thought to himself and walked inside the restaurant.


    He didn''t stop in the ground floor and direct walked towards the first floor. There were several cultivators eating in the ground floor. They threw a look of envy towards Zhan Chen after seeing him climbing towards the first floor.<sub> </sub>


    "Looks like another brat with golden spoon inside his mouth", they talked amongst eachother and focused once again on their foods.


    Zhan Chen didn''t mind their words and climbed the stairs. He could understand the sentiment of the people who were eating in the ground floor after seeing the first floor of the Longevity restaurant.


    The ground floor was already impressive but the first floor was an another world itself. There was no exaggerating luxury but what kept it apart was it''s serenity and peacefulness. A sound of floating stream wasing out of nowhere and Zhan Chen could immediately tell that it was the work of a formation.


    There were only two private rooms in the entire first floor. Zhan Chen knew where the old expert was sitting. So, he headed towards that private room.


    "Young master, have you got an appointment with us?", a beautiful maid stopped Zhan Chen and asked.


    "Let him enter. I have invited him", the voice of the old expert came from the private room.


    The maid aplogized and made way for Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen pushed the door of the private room and entered inside.


    "Senior, I am sorry for making you wait", Zhan Chen aplogized immediately after seeing the old cultivator infront of him.


    "No problem, it has been only some hours", the old expert spoke and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "What is your current cultivation level?", the old expert asked after staring at Zhan Chen for a moment.


    Zhan Chen knew the old expert was trying to find out his cultivation level with his soul consciousness but his attempt was futile. So, he had no choice but to ask him.


    "I have just recently reached the Core condensation realm", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Hmm, this is what I am guessing. But it is still surprising to see an eighteen year old Core condensation realm cultivator", the old expert spoke while touching his goatee


    "Senior, may I ask why are you asking me about my cultivation?", Zhan Chen looked towards the old cultivator with an enquiring look on his face.


    "I need to know because I am here to propose a cooperation between us", the old expert replied.


    "A cooperation with the imperial family?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrows.


    "No, no, not at all. I am talking about a cooperation between you and the powers backing the fifth prince", the old expert corrected Zhan Chen.


    "If it is really beneficial then I have no reason to refuse", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "In exchange of our cooperation, I have a news to share with you", the old expert spoke.


    "Oh, a news for my cooperation! The news most be interesting", Zhan Chen spoke with a look of interest in his eyes.


    "But before hearing the news, I most ask for senior ''s name", Zhan Chen looked towards the old expert.


    "My name is Chi Sheng. You can call me senior Sheng or whatever you like", the old expert spoke with a smile on his face.

 Chapter 214 The News And The Cooperation

    "Senior Sheng, I am curious to learn about the news and I am also curious to know why have you choosen me for a cooperation", Zhan Chen looked towards the old expert.


    "Well, let me tell you the news first. I am sure you will agree for a cooperation with us after hearing the news", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Have you ever heard of ck cloud valley?", Chi Sheng looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No, never heard of such a power", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Has your ancestor never told you about the enemies of you Zhan n?", Chi Sheng looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised look on his face.


    "No, ancestor has never discussed such things with me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Well, this may be due to your tender age. Afterall, ck cloud valley is a taboo topic among the powers of centralnd", Chi Shengmented.


    "There is such a power in the Northern desert continent!", Zhan Chen raised his eyes towards Chi Sheng.


    Yes, that power established itself even before the emergence of your Zhan n", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Our Zhan n emerged as a power two thousand yours ago. This, ck cloud valley established itself even before it?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Sheng with surprise on his face.


    "Yes, with the previous ruler of this continent and your Zhan n, these three powers were known as the three hegemons of the Northern desert continent", Chi Sheng replied.


    "It means the two powers which have caused the downfall of my Zhan n is the ck cloud valley and the previous ruler of this continent", Zhan Chen spoke with a look of realisation on his face.


    "I have heard this much and the news is rted to the ck cloud valley", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Senior, if the news is really important then I will not refuse to cooperate with you and the fifth prince", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I have got the news that Huo n has reached out to the ck cloud valley. Heavenly sword sect may also join them giving the situation against your Zhan n", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Do you know when they are nning to move?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "No, but I am sure that they will wait untill the uing inheritance battle of our imperial family", Chi Sheng replied.


    "And that is where you want me to coopearate with the fifth prince, am I right senior?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Sheng.


    "You are sharper than I have predicted.


    Yes, I want you to cooperate with the fifth prince in the uing inheritance battle", Chi Sheng replied.


    "May I ask, how this inheritance battle will be held?", Zhan Chen asked Chi Sheng.


    "Every inheritance battles are being held on the inheritance ground of the Xie family. The inheritance ground is vast and full of different kinds of dangers.


    All prince or princess most raise their own groups and battle through the inheritance ground toy their im on the imperial inheritance", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Such a rotten tradition! Siblings fighting eachother!", Zhan Chen murmured after hearing Chi Sheng ''s words.


    "Young friend, you have misunderstood. Their groups can fight with eachother but the imperial descendants are not allowed to attack eachother personally", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Then how do they decide the winner?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Sheng with confusion on his face


    "The imperial descendant whose all men eliminated or surrendered have to withdraw from the battle", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Well, I understand. I have no problem in supporting the fifth prince but I need more details regarding the inheritance battle", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "It is good as long as you agree. Wait a moment. I will give you all the details regarding the inheritance battle", Chi Sheng spoke. He took out a memory jade from his spatial ring and sent his soul consciousness inside it.<sub> </sub>


    "Take it", Chi Sheng gave the memory jade to Zhan Chen after storing all the information regarding the inheritance battle.


    "I will check itter", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior, I have a proposal for you. I wonder if your are interested in it?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will decide after hearing it", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Senior, have you heard of Three revolution enlightenment pill?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Sheng.


    "How couldn''t I have! But why are you asking me about it? It is peak sixth grade pill", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Senior, I can arrange one for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    An astonished look appeared on the face of Chi Sheng after he heard the words of Zhan Chen. A Three revolution enlightenment pill was the exact pill what he was searching for at this moment.


    It was something which could only be concocted by a peak pill king or a pill emperor. He had the required materials for it but he had yet to find a pill king who could concoct the pill for him.


    "You really have a way to acquire a Three revolution enlightenment pill for me?", Chi Sheng looked towards Zhan Chen with excitement in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as it was not difficult for him to concoct a sixth grade pill. He looked towards Chi Sheng to see his response regarding his proposal.


    "Tell me, what do I have to do in exchange of the pill?", Chi Sheng asked Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, you only have toplete three requests of mine in exchange of the pill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Little friend, you win. But can you inform me about your requests?", Chi Sheng looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I have not thought of other two requests but I have a current problem where I need your help", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He told Chi Sheng about the situation of Lin Xintong but he didn''t mention his rtionship with her.


    "You want to help someone from the Serpent moon sect?", Chi Sheng asked Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as it was imperative for him to help Lin Xintong.


    "It is a rather tricky matter. Let me ask some of my friends for help. We have to hide their family after taking them away from the Serpent moon sect", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Senior, you don''t have to request help from your friends. I only need you to distract the tribtion realm experts of Serpent moon sect if they chase me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You are nning to enter the Serpent moon sect, alone?", Chi Sheng looked towards Zhan Chen with astonishment in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head firmly as he was confident of his abilities.


    "But it is too risky!", Chi Shengmented and looked towards Zhan Chen. Finally, Zhan Chen had to agree that old man Chi Sheng would brought some friends with him.


    "Senior, we will depart for Serpent moon sect in tomorrow afternoon. We will bring out her family when it is time of midnight ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Well, it is not a problem. I have to travel a bit to bring those old coots out of their dens", Chi Sheng replied.


    "Thank you senior", Zhan Chen spoke politely.


    Chi Sheng offered him to have a meal with him and Zhan Chen had no reason to deny such an offer.


    They discussed about some random things while having their lunch and bade farewell to eachother after leaving the Longevity restaurant.

 Chapter 215 Traveling To The Serpent Moon Sect

    "Young master Chen", Lin Xintong opened her eyes after hearing the sound of the door unlocking.


    "How is your cultivation?", Zhan Chen asked her with a smile.


    "It is good. Yin nourishment technique is really amazing", Lin Xintong replied.


    "Come here", Zhan Chen beckoned at her after sitting on his bed. Lin Xintong blushed slightly and stood up from her ce.


    Her curvey figure swayed as she walked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen pulled her closer when she reached near him and made her sit on his thighs.


    Both of their lips moved spontaneously towards each other as they locked their lips. Zhan Chen stopped kissing her after a while and looked towards her reddened face.


    "I have good news for you", he spoke to Lin Xintong.


    "What is it?", Lin Xintong asked with a charming look on her face.


    "We can go to your Serpent moon sect tomorrow", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Really?", an exhrated expression appeared on Lin Xintong ''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t resist her beauty and gave another kiss on her charming face. "We are leaving at tomorrow afternoon. But before that I need you to do your best for me", Zhan Chen spoke and gave a squeeze to her fleshy buttocks.


    "Young master Chen, I don''t know how to thank you for this but I will definitely do my best", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "What is with your serious look? I am just joking with you", Zhan Chen spoke and embraced her intimately.


    "But young master, I am serious. You are doing so much for me and as your woman, I must do what I can", Lin Xintong spoke.


    She freed herself from Zhan Chen''s embrace and pulled off his pant. Then she knelt on the floor and started to tend to the need of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    It was a mix of her mouth and tall peaks. Zhan Chen felt like floating in heaven as his dragon squeezed by two mounds of softness and her lips.


    He let her continue for a while. Then made her stand on her all four. After that, it was the heroic story of a knight charging with his raised sword.


    -------------


    "Shall we go?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lin Xintong.


    "Young master, please let me rest for a few more minutes. I can''t move my body properly with such a little rest", Lin Xintong spoke.


    She thought about the unforgettable day in her life and a blush appeared on her beautiful face.


    "Young master, are you not feeling tired?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "You gave up early. Otherwise, We could have gone for another day and night", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, you are really...!~", Lin Xintong couldn''t formte herst words properly.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disturb her for a while and she became ready for the travel. Zhan Chen took a look at Li Shu and Kai Min before leaving for the Serpent moon sect with Lin Xintong.


    "Young master Chen, are we going alone?", Lin Xintong felt a little nervous.


    "No, I have arranged for some allies to join us. You will meet them after we leave the city gate", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He boarded a magical beast carriage along with Lin Xintong and travelled towards the city gate of Brilliant me city. The tall walls and the wide gate came to the view of Zhan Chen after the magical beast carriage stopped.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen handed some spirit crystals to the driver of the magical beast carriage and led Lin Xintong out of the city gate.


    They walked for a while and stopped only after a voice came from the thin air.


    "Brat, you are truly audacious. You dare to make three peak Tribtion realm experts wait for you".


    "Little friend, don''t mind his words. He tends to get angry easily", a familiar amiable voice came after the irritated voice.


    Zhan Chen and Lin Xintong looked up. Three floating figures came to the view of both of them.


    Among the three, one was familiar to Zhan Chen. He was Chi Sheng, an elder of the imperial Xie family.


    He got curious about the other two as all three experts in front of him were peak Tribtion realm experts.


    Amone the other two, one was looking at him with an irritated look on his face. Zhan Chen ignored him and moved to observe the other expert who hade along with Chi Sheng.


    "She is not bad", he thought to himself after checking the other expert with his soul consciousness.


    "Seniors, apology. I forgot to greet you as soon as I havee", Zhan Chen spoke and bowed slightly towards the three experts. Lin Xintong also did the same and bowed towards the three experts.


    Inwardly, she was feeling very nervous because she had never thought that Zhan Chen could bring such mighty experts for her. "Rx", Zhan Chen sent her a mental message and looked towards Chi Sheng.


    "Little friend, these two are my friends. This angry fellow here is known as fire demon and the beauty is the current sect master of Lotus moon sect", Chi Sheng spoke.


    The beauty in the sky took a brief look at Zhan Chen. Then, she shifted her gaze to Lin Xintong.


    "Girl, you must have heard about me", she spoke to Lin Xintong. Lin Xintong nodded her head and looked towards the sect master of Lotus moon sect.


    "Your Serpent moon sect and my Lotus moon sect are mortal enemies of each other. I must know yourplete story before lending my hand", the beauty in the sky spoke.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disturb them and let the two beauties talk with each other. "She is still pure despite her age. I can try my luck with her after reaching the Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "So, you are the wife of Lin Yogguang. That animal took your family name, yet abandoned you after having a daughter", the beauty spoke with a slightly angry tone in her voice.


    "Sect master, have you heard about me?", Lin Xintong looked towards the beauty in the sky with a surprised look on her face.


    "Don''t call me sect master. My name is Qian Shanni. You can call me senior Shanni if you like", the beauty in the air spoke.


    "Senior Shanni, will you help me in rescuing my daughter?", Lin Xintong asked Qian Shanni.


    "Yes, I will do it but I am not sure if your father will be okay with your escape nning. He is a very loyal man to the Serpent moon sect", Qian Shanni spoke.


    "Senior, you don''t have to worry about it. My father will definitely support me and escape along with my daughter", Lin Xintong spoke.


    "Shall we go?", Zhan Chen finally intervened in the conversation between two beauties.


    ''Both of you will call each other sisters in few days. So, what is with the senior this, senior that?'', he thought to himself.


    "Chi Sheng, I don''t know about sect master Qian. But our agreement still stands. You will help me in taming the Vermillion spirit after we are done with this rescue mission", fire demon spoke to Chi Sheng.


    "Well, it is not a problem to lend you a hand. Now, shall we go?", Chi Sheng looked towards everyone present.


    He took out a flying treasure from his spatial ring and threw it out in the air. The flying treasure erged itself in the form of a long boat and floated towards Zhan Chen and Lin Xintong.

 Chapter 216 The Daughter Of Lin Xintong

    "You are going inside the Serpent moon sect alone?", Qian Shanni looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in her eyes.


    "Lin Xintong has already left. I will follow her footsteps and reach her location. I will try to rescue them on my own but if anything happens, then I urge seniors to hold the experts of the Serpent moon sect for a while", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Chi Sheng nodded his head and Zhan Chen moved towards the Serpent moon sect without waiting for the response of fire demon and Qian Shanni.


    "What a marvelous movement technique!", Fire demon spoke as he looked towards the fading figure of Zhan Chen.


    "Fire demon, are you interested in his movement technique?", Chi Sheng looked towards the Fire demon.


    "Who said I am interested?", Fire demon tried to hide the greedy look on his face.


    "You can try if you want but let me give you an advice. There are some experts who are still beyond our cultivation level. Be careful. Otherwise, you will burn your hand despite being renowned as the fire demon", Chi Sheng spoke.


    Fire demon didn''t replied to Chi Sheng but a glint appeared on his eyes. He kept looking at Zhan Chen''s direction and no one knew what was going on inside his insidious mind.


    Zhan Chen could see the greed in fire demon''s eyes but he chose to ignore him. He moved forward using the Cloud chasing steps and entered the Serpent moon sect.


    "Halt", two guards at the entrance spoke simultaneously. Zhan Chen chose to walk towards them despite the unfriendly look on their faces.


    They were going to say something but a nk look appeared on their faces when they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen easily crossed through the sect gate and walked towards the inner locations of the Serpent moon sect. There were disciples walking in the streets of the sect. He avoided them skillfully and infiltrated the Serpent moon sect.


    The outermist locations of the Serpent moon sect was vast and it couldn''t post any change for Zhan Chen''s skills.


    His real test started when he entered the inner circles of the Serpent moon sect. "Two mid Tribtion realm experts! How troublesome", he murmured to himself.


    The Tribtion realm experts of the Serpent moon sect were spreading their soul consciousness time to time. Zhan Chen took some time to get acquainted with their observation pattern.


    He found the gap in between their observation soon. He used the perfect opportunity and sneaked inside the inner circle of the Sepernt moon sect.


    --------------


    "Xuan''er, how are you feeling?", Lin Xintong asked her daughter with deep concern in her eyes.


    The beauty who was sitting infront of her opened her eyes after listening her mother''s words. "Mother, don''t worry. I am fine", she spoke with a smile on her face.


    "That is great", Lin Xintong tried to hide the teardropsing from her eyes. Li Xuan also felt a little emotional after seeing her mother like this.


    They talked with eachother for a while when Lin Xintong suddenly stopped talking. A smile appeared on her pretty face as she felt something. "Young master Chen is here", she murmured happily.


    A curious look appeared on Li Xuan ''s face after hearing her mother''s murmuring. She wanted to see what her great saviour looked like.


    She didn''t have to wait for a longer period as Zhan Chen''s figure appeared inside their cultivation cave after a while. So young!", Li Xuan blurted out with surprise in her eyes.


    "Miss, congrattion on your recovery", Zhan Chen offered a smile to the pretty daughter of Lin Xintong.


    "Thank you, young master Chen. I am really grateful for your help", Li Xuan spoke and bowed towards Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, how did you sneak up here?", Lin Xintong asked Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    "I only have to avoid the soul consciousness of the Tribtion realm experts and I have easily entered the inner area of your Serpent moon sect", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Our cave has a formation protecting it. How did you enter without alerting us?", Li Xuan looked towards Zhan Chen with curiousity in her eyes.


    "Miss, it is only an earth grade formation. This is not sufficient to keep me away", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Only an earth grade formation!", Li Xuan looked towards Zhan Chen with a dumbfounded look on her face.


    "Where is your father?", Zhan Chen asked Lin Xintong.


    "His cultivation cave is adjacent to us but I couldn''t contact him because the entrance to his cave is locked from inside", Lin Xintong replied with a worried look on her face.


    "Don''t worry. I will handle it", Zhan Chen spoke to her gently.


    Lin Xuan could see that there was something between her mother and Zhan Chen but she couldn''t tell what was going on exactly between both of them. As for the possibility of a romantic rtionship, that was something out of her consideration because the age of her mother and Zhan Chen was simply ipatible with eachother.


    Zhan Chen spoke both of them to wait and went outside their cultivation cave. There were several powerful auras in the nearby areas. So, he didn''t release his soul consciousness carelessly.


    He could have easily located Lin Xintong ''s father by himself but he didn''t do so because he didn''t want any unnecessary trouble in this rescue mission.


    He spread his soul consciousness slightly and easily detected the restrictions around the cultivation cave of his father-inw. There were more restrictions around the cultivation cave of his father-inw but it was nothing but a child y to Zhan Chen.


    He breached the restrictions easily and entered inside the cultivation. A pale looking d man was sitting crosslegged inside the cultivation cave and he seemed to be deep in cultivation.


    ''He is really injured", Zhan Chen thought to himself after seeing the condition of Lin Xintong ''s father.


    "I have to be careful while waking him up", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he spread his soul consciousness towards the father of Lin Xintong.


    The old man felt a soothing sensation inside his soul and gradually came out of deep cultivation state. A voice seemed to urge him to stop his cultivation. So, he stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed slightly towards his father inw.


    The old man felt surprised after seeing a young man inside his cultivation cave. But he recovered more quickly than Zhan Chen had expected.


    "Who are you? What is your purpose in visiting this old man''s cave?", he looked towards Zhan Chen with a calm expression on his face.


    "Senior, I am here on your daughter''s behalf. You can find out my purpose after talking with your daughter", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Fine, let''s see what Xin''er has to say", he spoke and came out of his cave alongwith Zhan Chen.


    "Father"


    "Grandpa", two voices immediately greeted the old man after he entered the cave of Lin Xintong.


    "Xuan''er!", the old man stood surprised after seeing Lin Xuan okay.


    "Grandpa", Lin Xuan smiled towards her grandfather after seeing him looking towards her.


    Lin Xintong exined all the matters regarding Zhan Chen to her father. A look of gratitude appeared on the old man''s face after she heard his daughter''s exnation.

 Chapter 217 An Interesting Show

    "Young man, thank you very much. I can''t express how grateful I am for your help", the old man bowed towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, what are you doing?", Zhan Chen went ahead to stop the old man from bowing towards him. He didn''t mind a bow from an ordinary old man but it would be too much if he received a bow from the father of his woman.


    The name of Lin Xintong ''s father was Lin Xenyang. Zhan Chen talked with him for a while and found out the reason for his current predicament.


    "Senior, Don''t worry. There is a way to heal your soul", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Really?", a hopeful look appeared on Lin Xenyang''s face after he heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    Zhan Chen told three of them to follow him and led the way for the family of Lin Xintong. They left the cultivation cave of Lin Xintong and proceeded cautiously along their path.


    It would be no problem for Zhan Chen if he was alone but the situation now had be slightly tricky as he had to bring out three other people along with him.


    The true challenge to their escape n began when they approached the border of the inner circle. "What should we do?", Lin Xintong asked nervously after seeing the sect guards ahead of them.


    "Don''t worry. Stay behind and move only after I wave my hand", Zhan Chen spoke. Lin Xenyang, Lin Xintong and Lin Xuan nodded their heads and stayed back.


    There were restrictions at the boundary of inner circle. Zhan Chen took some time to see through them and waved his hand towards the group of Lin Xintong.


    "Zhan Chen, all these are earth grade formations left behind by the sect forefathers. We should be extremely cautious while walking through them", Lin Xenyang spoke.


    "Senior, rest assure. I have my ways to deal with these formations ", Zhan Chen replied. He guided all three of them step by step and finally they managed to move past the restrictions of the inner circle.


    There were the soul consciousness of Tribtion realm experts but Zhan Chen was cautious enough to avoid their eyes.


    All of them took a sigh in relief after leaving the inner circle of the Serpent moon sect. There was a look of appreciation on Lin Xenyang''s face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen took a look at Lin Xintong and saw her looking at the distance. He followed her gaze and found a tall peak in the distance.


    "Xin''er, you must be strong at this moment", Lin Xenyang spoke to Lin Xintong.


    "I have already decided to cut my ties from him. So, it is not a difficult choice", Lin Xintong replied.


    Zhan Chen felt slight curiousity towards the man who had abandoned a girl like Lin Xintong and a daughter like Lin Xuan. So, he decided to take a look at the peak.


    He cautiously spread his soul consciousness and focused on the peak that Lin Xintong was looking at. A look of amazement appeared in his eyes after he saw the situation inside the peak.


    "Nefarious energy! Such a weird cultivation method", he thought to himself as he kept looking at the scene inside the peak. His little brother became slightly excited as the situation inside waspletely crazy.


    There were five girls kneeling on the floor. There was a formation circle beneath them. Four of the five girls didn''t seem to be at their right minds as their eyes were clouded with lust.


    The girl who was at the middle of them seemed to be clear headed but she was screaming loudly at this moment. Her screams were not of pain but were of wild pleasure.


    There was a devilish looking man who was pounding the middle girl from behind. What caught the attention of Zhan Chen was he was pounding the backgate of the kneeling girl at this moment.


    There were two strands of dark energying out from the man and woman. They were interwinining with eachother as both the man and the girl kept copting wildly.<sub> </sub>


    ''How interesting. Using array of evil enlightenment for dual cultivation! But the more interesting part was the preference of both man and woman. I have already read about using back gate for dual cultivation but never tried it. I should ask my girls about this'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Young master Chen, what are you thinking?", the voice of Lin Xintong came from the side.


    "Well, nothing. I have just taken notice of an interesting thing", Zhan Chen spoke.


    ? "Her husband looks evil. It is good that I am bringing them away. Otherwise, I don''t know what would happen to them if they stayed back in the Sepernt moon sect", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "The cultivators in the outer area are not that powerful but there are too many of them", Lin Xenyang spoke.


    "We can''t avoid a confrontation", Zhan Chen spoke. He could have easily handled all the cultivators guarding the outer area but that would easily cause suspicion among the three mighty cultivators waiting outside.


    "We will stall them untill the seniors intervene", Lin Xintong spoke. Lin Xuan and Lin Xenyang nodded their heads and followed behind Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen guided them through most of the part but it became more difficult when they approached the sect gate of the Sepernt moon sect.


    "Halt", the voice of a woman came from a distance. Zhan Chen signalled their group to stop as the cultivators in distance approached them.


    "Elder Xintong, where do you think you are going?", the woman spoke aftering nearby.


    "Where I am going is none of your business. Make way", Lin Xintong replied with a cold look on her face.


    "You can go but your daughter can''t. You should take permission from the Sky peak before taking her away", the neer spoke.


    "What is the point in chitchat. They have already sent a signal for reinforcement", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You two, go and catch Lin Xuan for me. I will hold up this bitch for now", the neer looked at her subordinates.


    "Hu Shengyi, what is your problem with me? Now you are targeting my daughter", Lin Xintong looked furiously towards the neer.


    Lin Xintong was first to draw her sword. Hu Shengyi took out a whip and swung it towards Lin Xintong.


    The subordinates of Hu Shengyi approached Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan took out her sword nervously but her nervousness turned into amazement after she saw Zhan Chen''s attack.


    It was only a split second yet Zhan Chen managed to split open the necks of two Core condensation realm cultivators of the Serpent moon sect.


    "Brat, I will kill you", Hu Shengyi yelled out and charged towards Zhan Chen. She swung her whip and two thin energy snakes came towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen effortlessly dodge her attack and Lin Xintong managed to catch up with Hu Shengyi. "Her reinforcement is here", Zhan Chen spoke after few moments.


    A suffocating aura came from the sky and fell upon Zhan Chen, Lin Xintong, Li Xuan and Li Xenyang.


    "Brother Xenyang, what are you nning to do?", The owner of the suffocating aura asked Lin Xenyang.

 Chapter 218 Each On Their Own Ways

    "Brother Zhu, you know my condition. So, why ask? I am taking my leave for a while", Lin Xenyang spoke calmly.


    "Then what about the killing of these two sect protectors", the expert who hade as the reinforcement asked.


    "Elder Zhu, there is no point in talking with him. We should capture all of them and kill this brat", another voice came the sky.


    A suffocating aura fell upon Zhan Chen as another silhouette appeared in the sky. The expert in the sky made a move and a thick energy palm came crashing towards Zhan Chen.


    "How long you three are going to watch?", Zhan Chen shouted in irritation after dodging the attack.


    "We hope to see some more fun but it is not possible anymore", the enchanting voice of Qian Shanni came.


    All three of them released their aura and the experts of the Sepernt moon sect stood stunned on their ces.


    "Sect master Shanni, may I know the reason for your arrival?", an old voice floated out from the distant sky.


    ''I have my reason but today your sect has to give way. Your sect does not seem to cherish talents. So, let me nurture them in your ce", Qian Shanni replied.


    The distant voice became silent for a moment. Then he asked, "Xenyang, must you go?"


    "First elder, you know my circumstances. Is there any options left for my family?", Lin Xenyang asked.


    "This is our sect''s failure this time. You may go now but I hope you wille back after the circumstances change in our sect", the voice from the distant sky spoke in a mncholic tone in his voice.


    "First elder, I will remember your kindness", Lin Xenyang spoke.


    The voice from the distant sky didn''te again and Zhan Chen led Lin Xintong ''s family out of the sect gate. The two sect elders who hade as the reinforcement could only watch helplessly as Zhan Chen''s group left the Sepernt moon sect.


    "Ha ha ha! Chi Sheng, it is such an easy job. You have got the short end of the stick this time", fire demon mocked Chi Sheng aftering out of the Serpent moon sect.


    "Thanks for your help. You can look for me any time when you are prepared to tame the vermillion spirit", Chi Sheng replied calmly.


    Fire demon bade his farewell to Qian Shanni and Chi Sheng before leaving the ce. His silhouette blurred from the sky as he disappeared from the view of everyone present.


    An indiscernible frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s forehead after the fire demon left. He could see that fire demon had some ill motive towards him.


    "Don''t worry. He is greedy but not suicidal", the voice of Chi Sheng came from the side. Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked towards the family of Lin Xintong.


    "Sect master Shanni, why did you help my family?", Lin Xenyang looked towards the sect master of Lotus moon sect.


    "Lin Xenyang, I am not inflexible like you. I have found a good disciple for me. So, what is the problem in helping my future disciple?", Qian Shanni looked towards Lin Xenyang with her charming eyes.


    "Wow, so beautiful. It is such a pity that I am not a Martial ascension realm cultivator yet", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Lin Xuan epted Qian Shanni as her master after receiving the permission from her grandfather and mother. She insisted on taking her mother and grandfather with her but both Lin Xenyang and Lin Xintong rejected her offer.


    "Xin''er, what are you going to do from now on?", Lin Xenyang looked towards Lin Xintong.


    "I will travel with young master Chen for a while and join a sect after the grand sectpetition is over", Lin Xintong replied.<sub> </sub>


    "Father, what about you?", Lin Xintong looked towards Lin Xenyang.


    "Zhan Chen, tell me what I have to do to heal my soul", Lin Xenyang looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, there is no immediate solution to your problem. Give me some time and I will find a way out", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Well then, you can contact me through Xuan''er. I will keep contact with her", Lin Xenyang spoke. He also stated his intention to leave and Lin Xintong ''s words were not enough for him to change his decision.


    "Why did father deny my request? He would be safe if he travelled with us", Lin Xintong murmured while looking at the leaving figure of Lin Xenyang.


    Which father would want to depend upon his daughter''s protection? Moreover, you don''t have a sect yet. I am sure, he wille to visit you after you join a sect", Zhan Chen coaxed Lin Xintong.


    "Senior, shall we go?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Sheng.


    "Little friend, tell me one thing. I do not understand why you go to such a length for this little girl here", Chi Sheng pointed towards Lin Xintong and looked towards Zhan Chen with curiousity in his eyes.


    "Senior, you are wise. So, can''t you see through our rtionship?", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.


    Chi Sheng looked towards Lin Xintong and Zhan Chen and a thought suddenly struck his mind. "You, you two are....?", he didn''t nevenplete his sentence and looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in his eyes.


    "Yes, she is my woman", Zhan Chen wrapped his han around the waist of Lin Xintong.


    "But your age? You are too young for her!", Chi Sheng spoke with disbelief in his eyes.


    "Who said I am too young? Ask her if I am man enough", Zhan Chen wrapped his hand more intimately around Lin Xintong and looked towards Chi Sheng.


    A deep blush appeared on Lin Xintong ''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She lowered her head shyly as she didn''t want to face Chi Sheng ''s gaze.


    "Little friend, you are indeed a marvel. I wonder what would others think if they find out your preference", Chi Sheng spoke.


    "Senior, you jest. I am really grateful for your help this time", Zhan Chen replied. Both he and Chi Sheng talked for a while and they stopped after the Brilliant me city appeared in a distance.


    Chi Sheng took his leave after dropping Zhan Chen infront of the city gate of the Brilliant me city.


    Zhan Chen hired a magical beast carriage and travelled back to the Spring drizzle inn along with Lin Xintong.


    "Young master, when are you nning to live this city?", Lin Xintong looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I have stopped here only for you. We can leave tomorrow but before that you know what I want", Zhan Chen murmured near the ear of Lin Xintong.


    "Young master, please wait until we reach the Spring drizzle inn", Lin Xintong spoke shyly after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Her face became more redder as Zhan Chen''s hands didn''t stay honest while they were traveling to the Spring drizzle inn.


    Zhan Chen took Lin Xintong to the Spring drizzle inn after paying the driver of the beast carriage. He spread his soul consciousness and found Li Shu sleeping inside his room.


    ''Well, it is not bad if she can join us'', Zhan Chen thought to himself and invited Lin Xintong inside his room.

 Chapter 219 Kai Mins Response

    Zhan Chen saw Kai Min and Li Yan through his soul consciousness and a smile appeared on his face. ''Well, Kai Min can join us after a while'', he thought to himself.


    "Young master, shall we go to another room? She will be disturbed if we do it here", Lin Xintong spoke shyly.


    "No, we will do it here. It will be more fun if she wakes up", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lin Xintong blushed after hearing Zhan Chen''s outrageous idea. But she didn''t resist at all when Zhan Chen pulled her towards him for a kiss.


    Zhan Chen ran his hand around her back and Lin Xintong moaned when Zhan Chen squeezed her perky back. Their passionate kiss continued untill Lin Xintong gasped for breath.


    Zhan Chen took out her clothes and she also reciprocated. Zhan Chen grabbed her tall peaks and kneaded them for a while. Then he his hand moved towards her sacred garden.


    "Mmm~", Lin Xintong started to moan as Zhan Chen rubbed his finger on the entrance of her cave. He finally inserted one of his finger after teasing her entrance forba while.


    A lewd sound came out as Zhan Chen explored her cave with his finger. Water droplets started toe out of her cave after Zhan Chen teased her cave for a while.


    "It is your tu Zhan Chen spoke and handed his dragon to Lin Xintong. Lin Xintong knelt down and took good care of it. Zhan Chen started to move his waist along with her mouth as his dragon explored much deeper inside her throat.


    Lin Xintong coughed a little after few back and forths from Zhan Chen''s waist but she fully aodated to Zhan Chen''s desire and give her full throat to Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon was dripping with her saliva when Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from her mouth. He shared another kiss with her and made her do his favourite posture.


    Her enchanting back came to his view after she stood on her own four.


    "Pah", a tremor ran down on her fleshy back after Zhan Chen lightly striked her back.


    "Aah~", an enjoying look appeared on Lin Xintong ''s face after Zhan Chen striked her back. It gave stimulus for Zhan Chen to strike again as he gave another p to her perky back.


    He squeezed her perky back for a while. Then aimed his spear to prate the middle of her perky back.


    "Ahhhnn~", Lin Xintong responded with an enchanting moan to Zhan Chen''s thrust. Zhan Chen held both of her plump meat and rammed his waist with her thighs.


    "Ahhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhmm~", soul stirring moans came out Lin Xintong ''s mouth as her cave got prated by Zhan Chen''s dragon. Li Shu opened her eyeszily and sat up.


    Her face reddened immediately after she saw Zhan Chen doing such an act with Lin Xintong.


    "Li Shu, good morning", Zhan Chen greeted her with a smile while pounding Lin Xintong. Li Shu blushed after seeing the nerve inducing scene infront of her.


    "Good morning, young master", she replied shyly but she couldn''t take her eyes off Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Do you want to join us?", Zhan Chen asked her. She nodded her head shyly.


    "Then join Xintong. I can take care both of you simultaneously", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Shu took off her clothes and stood on her all four beside Lin Xintong. Zhan Chen gave a quick leak to her little sister and stabbed his dragon inside her cave.


    "Ahhhnn~", Li Shu cried out sweetly and Zhan t kept thrusting his dragon inside her cave. He switched to Lin Xintong ''s cave after a while and switched to Li Shu after few thrusts.


    Waiting to be prated, made the girls more excited and they coopearated with Zhan Chen fully. Li Shu reached her peak after fifteen minutes and retired to take some rest.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from Lin Xintong ''s cave and didn''t prate her for a while. Lin Xintong turned to look at Zhan Chen with an aggrieved look on her face.


    "Xintong, I have learned about a good idea. Some girls arepatible with it and some girls are not. I wonder what will be you choice?", Zhan Chen spoke mysteriously.


    "What is it?", Lin Xintong asked asked with curiousity in her voice. Li Shu also looked towards Zhan Chen to find out an answer.


    "You will understand with my action", Zhan Chen replied. He pointed his spear a little higher and poked at an forbidden zone of Lin Xintong.<sub> </sub>


    He traced that tightly closed cave with his dragon and Lin Xintong immediately understood what he wanted.


    Young master, that....!", Lin Xintong felt shy to say it loud.


    Li Shu''s face also reddenedpletely after seeing what Zhan Chen was doing. ''Young master has be a big pervert'', she thought to herself with a blush on her face.


    "Tell me if you want it not. If you don''t want then we can do it normally", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master but that ce is really dirty", Lin Xintong spoke with a deep blush on her face.


    "It doesn''t matter. I like it. You only need to say yes or no", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Mmmm. You can do it if you want", Lin Xintong replied shyly. An evil smile nappeared on Zhan Chen''s face admfter she heard her words.


    He put some saliva on his finger and poked upon her unchartered territory. A tightening situation gripped her finger as he tried to loosen her muscle a bit.


    After few minutes of efforts, Zhan Chen found her ready. He pointed his spear and stabbed the backyard of Lin Xintong.


    "Ahhhh~so big", Lin Xintong cried out after Zhan Chen prated her. Zhan Chen found it difficult to move after he stabbed his dragon inside her.


    The tightness made Zhan Chen''s dragon more excited as Zhan Chen started to move his dragon. It took only a few minutes before na huge stream of water came out of Lin Xintong ''s cave.


    Zhan Chen crouched down to gulp it and let Lin Xintong rest. Li. Xintong didn''t dare look at Zhan Chen as she felt really shy at this moment.


    Zhan Chen looked at Li Shu after doing it with Lin Xintong.


    "Li Shu, do you want to do it?", he asked.


    "Mmmm", Li Shu nodded shyly. Zhan Chen did the same with Li Shu and pounded her backyard. It took only some minutes before Li Shu burst out her dam again.


    "Young master, it is so intense", sheined while relishing the bliss she had felt.


    "Well, it is also an unique experience for me. I have done it for the first time with both of you girls", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You have to tell me if you are reallyfortable. Otherwise, there is no point in doing it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, we want it", both of the girls replied in the same time.


    "Thene over, put some saliva on it. We can start right away after you girls take care of it", Zhan Chen pointed at his dragon.


    <o>,m Both of the girls understood Zhan Chen''s meaning. They told him to sit on the bed and took his dragon inside their mouths.</o>


    His dragon was already rock solid. It became more encouraged after receiving the care of both of the girls. Both of them stood on their four on their own and Zhan Chen couldn''t avoid such an enchanting invitation.


    He stabbed his dragon inside the sacred cave of Li Shu and switched to his backward after few thrusts. He did the same with Lin Xintong and both of the girls couldn''t tolerate his repeated taunting for a longer period. Li Shu was first to give up followed by Lin Xintong.


    Zhan Chen continued for an hour and deposited his yang essence inside the cave of Li Shu. "She hase out of her cultivation state", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and sent a mental message.


    Kai Min had just opened her eyes when she received Zhan Chen''s message. A blush appeared on her face and she came out of her room to see Zhan Chen.


    "Sister Shu is alone with young master Chen. It will be embarassing to do it with her once again", she thought to herself with a reddened face.


    She knocked the door of Zhan Chen and Zhan Chen asked her toe inside. She pushed open the door and a huge surprise was waiting for her.


    He saw an unknowndy standing on her four and Zhan Chen was pounding her fiercely. Zhan Chen turned to greet her after she entered inside.


    But Kai Min was quick to flee the room after standing stunned for a moment. Zhan Chen shook his head and continued to ram his waist on Lin Xintong''s thighs.


    ''She is not the type who will do it along with others. I will take care of her after finishing here'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 220 Departure From The Brilliant Flame City

    "Finally a breakthrough! I have reached the third stage of True essence realm", Li Yan thought to herself with a smile on her face. She decided to look for Li Shu and Kai Min to share this good news with them.


    She was just going to unlock her door when she felt something. It was a familiar sensation for every cultivator and Li Yan immediately recognised it.


    "Sister is having a breakthrough! But how can she cultivate so quickly?", she thought to herself with surprise in her eyes.


    She unlocked her door and came out. Her gaze fell upon Li Shu''s door which was tightly closed. Essence energy fluctuation wasing out her room and it was clear that Li Shu was pushing for another breakthrough.


    Li Yan''s gaze unconsciously went towards Zhan Chen''s room and a blush appeared on her face. "This horny man! I am sure he is behind it", Li Yan thought to herself.


    She was just imagining something when the door unlocking sound came. Zhan Chen came out of his room and looked towards Li Yan.


    "Li Yan, good morning", he greeted her with a smile on his face. Li Yan greeted him back with a reddened face and went towards Kai Min ''s room to check on her.


    "She seems to be cultivating", she murmured to herself and looked towards Zhan Chen. They talked with eachother for a while and Zhan Chen''s room unlocked again.


    Li Yan felt surprised to see a mature lookingdying out of Zhan Chen''s room. ''This shameless man'', Li Yan thought to herself with a blush on her face.


    "Li Yan, she is Lin Xintong. She will travel with us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Hello miss", Lin Xintong came forward to greet Li Yan and both of them talked with eachother awkwardly. The awkwardness still remained even after Li Shu and Kai Min came out of their rooms.


    -------------


    "When will senior Cang arrive?", Li Shu turned to look towards Zhan Chen.


    "Soon. I have already sent him the transmission signal", Zhan Chen replied. There was an awkward silence between the girls and it was a headache for Zhan Chen. Lin Xintong waspletely mature and her cultivation was also way higher than other three girls. So, it was hard for all of them to behave as friends.


    Lin Xintong did her best to get along with the other three girls but it was difficult for her to mix with all of them. Kai Min was way too reserved and Li Yan was a proud beauty. Zhan Chen felt like a headacheing after seeing the situation between his girls.


    "I most find apanion for Xintong. I should introduce Lan Yueyue and Zhou Xiaoling to her", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    They only had to wait for a while after when they felt the aura of Lu Tai Canging towards them. Everyone looked towards the distant sky and the figure of Lu Tai Cang appeared infront of them.


    "Zhan Chen, you are indeed a ma for troubles. Tell me, why did you fight with the imperial army?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, it is not my fault. They could have targeted me but instead they went for my girls", Zhan Chen replied.


    Lu Tai Cang took a look at Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and Lin Xintong and a speechless expression appeared on his face after he saw Lin Xintong along with the three young girls. "Miss, you are?", he asked Lin Xintong.


    Lin Xintong introduced herself to Lu Tai Cang and from her shy look, Lu Tai Cang could guess her rtionship with Zhan Chen. "This brat is unbelievable. Such a maturedy yet she has fallen for him", Lu Tai Cang thought to himself.


    He took out his flying treasure and invited everyone to board it. Zhan Chen and Lin Xintong boarded on their own. Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min needed the help of Lu Tai Cang in boarding the levitating treasure.<sub> </sub>


    "Is there anywhere you want to stop this time?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No senior, this time our destination is cloud province, Longyang city", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Well then, it will take some time", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    Lin Xintong sat crosslegged and closed her eyes. Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min talked among themselves and ignored Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen could only talk with Lu Tai Cang who had many questions to bother him.


    "Zhan Chen, tell me one thing. Is this Martial ascension realmdy really your .....?", Lu Tai Cang asked in a hushed voice.


    "Yes senior, she is from the Serpent moon sect. But I need you to keep it a s secret from everyone", Zhan Chen replied with a smile on his face.


    "Brat, you are really a marvel. Don''t you feel awkward with your age gap?", Lu Tai Cang blurted out with a speechless look on his face.


    They kept talking with eachother and time flew past rapidly. Lu Tai Cang finally stopped after he noticed something on the ground.


    "Look, this is the famous White mist river. It is the boundary between the Dragon province and the Cloud province", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    Except Lin Xintong, everyone took a look at the gigantic river beneath them. Lu Tai Cang lowered the flying boat deliberately so that everyone could take a good look at the White mist river.


    There was nothing but a sea of whiteness below them. Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min looked at the famous river curiously as they tried to see through the river below them.


    A sshing sound came suddenly and the whiteness broke apart. A huge head came out from the river and lunged towards the flying boat of Zhan Chen''s group.


    "A fifth grade river monster!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and kept observing the beast infront of him. Lu Tai Cang was quick to react as he moved away the flying treasure from the reach of the river monster.


    "We are saved!", Li Shu exhaled in relief after seeing the river monster failing in its attempt. All three of them were really frightened this time after seeing such a fierce beast close to their eyes.


    Another sshing sound came and another fierce beast lunged towards their flying treasure. Lu Kai Tang was no stranger to the environment of the White mist river. So, he effortlessly moved away the flying treasure out of the reach of monster beast.


    "Don''t be surprised. You have yet to see the true nature of this river", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    He waved his hand and a huge energy sh went towards the whiteness of the river.


    A painful roar came out and a huge magical beast surfaced from the depth of the river.


    After that, it was as if a ho nest was poked open. Strange sounds came from everywhere and gigantic magical beasts surfaced from the depth of the river. Their target was the monster beast which was injured by the sh of Lu Tai Cang.


    A fierce fight started and it was really a scene to remember for all three girls. They had never seen such a big monster and now there was a fight between such fierce monsters.


    "This river is too scary", Kai Minmented as she nervously held the hand of Li Yan. Li Shu also held the hand of her sister as she nervously watched the fierce struggle of wilderness.

 Chapter 221 Ancient Longyang City

    After crossing the White mist river, it was the vast and wide Cloud province. Lu Tai Cang described the general situation of the cloud province and all the girls kept their ears open to listen him.


    "The cloud province is the biggest province of the centralnd. Infact, it upied thergest area in the Northern desert continent.


    Due to its vastness, no single force can control it alone. This is why there are so many forces and so much Chaos inside the cloud province", Lu Tai Cang described.


    "Then why the Grand sectpetition is being held in the cloud province? They could have arrange it it in the dragon province where the security is the tightest", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Tai Cang with curiousity in his eyes.


    "Well, Longyang city is not far from here. You will get your answer after we reach our destination", Lu Tai Cang replied.


    Zhan Chen felt curious about the Longyang city after hearing the words of Lu Tai Cang. He waited patiently as the flying trasure kept flying towards their destination.


    It was already night when Lu Tai Cang stopped the flying treasure midway. "We are at the outskirt of the Longyang city", he spoke to everyone present.


    But this time his words didn''t get any attention from the girls as everyone was busy with admiring the wonderful sight of the Longyang city. Zhan Chen had long ago noticed the uniqueness of the Longyang city but he had to withdraw his soul consciousness because of the presence of some mighty experts.


    "Young master, look at those birds. They are really pretty", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with excitement in her eyes.


    Zhan Chen was also looking at the marvel of Longyang city like other girls. There were four towering staturs in the four direction of cities. They were built at the extreme end of the city. So, their feature remain unclear to the girls present. Even, Lin Xintong was not an exception although she had the cultivation of mid Martial ascension realm.


    "Such pretty birds", Kai Min muttered after few moments. She was also enthralled by the same birds who enchanted Li Shu.


    Some birds could be seen flying all around the statues. Their bodies were colourful and they were lighting up the big statues with the lighting from their bodies.


    "They are not birds. They are luminiscent spirits who got attracted by the purest energying out from these statues", Zhan Chen exined.


    "Young master, can we get one?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with an expectant gaze.


    "Ofcourse, we can but for that we need some rare ingredients", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ohh, then I don''t need it", Li Shu spoke but her eyes said otherwise. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw what Li Shu was doing.


    "Silly girl, if you want it then i will give it to you. Ingredients are no big deal", Zhan Chen spoke as he pinched the cheek of Li Shu.


    "Thank you, young master", a smile bloomed on Li Shu''s face after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. Her heart was filled with sweetness after she heard the caring words of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, where are you nning to stay?", Lu Tai Cang asked.


    "Senior, do you have a ce in mind?", Zhan Chen asked in return.


    "Yes", Lu Tai Cang replied. He spoke Zhan Chen to follow him and strode towards the city gate of Longyang city.


    The city gate became much clearer as Zhan Chen''s group walked towards it. An awestruck look appeared on the faces of Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and Lin Xintong after they observed the grandeur of the Longyang city.


    The city walls were massive and they were at least seven times taller than an average human''s height. A miniscue feeling appeared in the hearts of the girls after they saw the massive walls and the huge city gate at the middle of it.


    There were city guards standing at the city gate but they didn''t bother any cultivator who were entering the city. Unlike other cities, the Longyang city didn''t demand any entry fee from the visiting cultivators.


    Zhan Chen followed behind Lu Tai Cang and entered inside the Longyang city. The girls looked here and there curiously after entering inside the Longyang city.


    <o>,m A curious look appeared in Zhan Chen''s eyes after he saw the cultivators around him. There was a huge influx of cultivators for the Grand sectpetition but none of them were causing any ruckus after entering inside.</o>


    Generally, a ce became boisterous when a huge amount of cultivators from different powers gathered but there was no such situation inside the Longyang city. Every cultivator was behaving orderly and there was calm everywhere.


    Such an anomaly piqued Zhan Chen''s interest and he looked around to find out the reason behind it. He soon found out a group of cultivators who were watching the crowd calmly.<sub> </sub>


    They didn''t look imposing but everyone from the crowd had a respectful look when they passed by them. "Senior, who are they?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Tai Cang.


    "Oh, you already noticed them!", a smile appeared on Lu Tai Cang ''s face.


    "Have you ever heard about the Spirit pce?", Lu Tai Cang asked Zhan Chen.


    "No, never heard about it", Zhan Chen shook his head.


    "Spirit pce is the controller of this city. They are a mysterious power who never involve themselves in the affairs of the centralnd", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "How intriguing!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and followed behind Lu Tai Cang.


    ------------


    There was a palce at the center of the Longyang city. The pce had a solemn air about it. There were only few guards but their auras kept cultivators away from approaching the pce.


    A wooden nk was raised at the entrance of the pce. ''Spirit pce'' was written graciously in the middle of the nk.


    Currently, there was a middle aged cultivator kneeling infront of a man. The man seemed ordinary but there was a deep and profound look in his eyes.


    "Elder Shang, are you sure? The scion of Zhan n has entered our city?", the man asked the kneeling cultivator.


    "Yes, pce master, I can''t be mistaken. Moreover, he is being acoompained by Lu Tai Cang of the Lu n", the kneeling cultivator replied.


    "Keep an eye on him. Don''t use force even if he do anything in the city. Instead of doing anything to him, we can ask concession from his n", the man spoke.


    "Pce master is wise. I will inform others about your order", the kneeling cultivator spoke.


    "You may leave now", the man spoke and the kneeling cultivator execused himself.


    "Father, why do you give such an order to third elder?", a pleasant voice came out from the distant corner of the hall.


    "Zhiqing, have you finished your sword practice?", the man turned to look towards the voice.


    "Yes father", an enchanting figure appeared in his sight and replied to him.


    "What about you little sister?", the man with profound eyes asked.


    "She is ying in the herb mountain", the female in armour replied.


    "Now tell me, why are you making an exception for a brat?", the girl in armour asked to her father.


    "Zhiqing, you have never dealt with the madmen from Zhan n. Their power is reduced but still, they are a very dangerous force to fight with", the wise looking man replied.


    "Father, are you joking? Do we really need to care about the Zhan n even with power of our spirit pce?", the girl in armour asked.


    "It is always good if you don''t have to fight. Stop picking fight everywhere you go. Otherwise, it will be really hard for me to find a good boy for you", the wise looking man said to his daughter.


    "Stop dreaming. I don''t need to marry", the armoured girl stared defiantly towards his father. The wise looking man admitted his defeat infront of his daughter. A helpless smile appeared on his face after he saw her walking out of the hall.


    "This girl ispletely like her mother. Both of them are fierce and loves fighting than anything in this world. It will be really troublesome if she go and pick a fight with that brat from the Zhan n ", the man murmured to himself.

 Chapter 222 A Conversation In The Night

    "Rosewood inn", Zhan Chen read the name of the inn carved atop it''s gate. He beckoned the girls to follow him inside and entered the gate of the Rosewood inn.


    Lu Tai Cang had already left after bringing him to the easternmost part of the city. This ce wasparatively less noisypared to the other locations of the Longyang city. Zhan Chen inwardlymended the choice of Lu Tai Cang after entering the Rosewood inn.


    The interior was simple yet ssy and it really suited Zhan Chen''s taste. The caretaker here was a middle-ageddy. She immediately came to greet the group of Zhan Chen after seeing them entering the ground floor of the inn.


    "Wee everyone. Thanks for stepping inside my humble inn", thedy spoke to the group of Zhan Chen.


    "A peak Martial ascension realm cultivator!", Zhan Chen felt slightly surprised after seeing through the cultivation of the amiable lookingdy.


    "We want best rooms of your inn. If possible, allot our rooms close to eachother", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "That is not a problem but may I know who rmend this ce to you?", the amiabledy looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Do we need rmendation to stay inside this inn?", Zhan Chen frowned after hearing the words of the middle-ageddy.


    "Of course. In fact, no outsiders are allowed in the entire easternmist area of the Longyang city. It is a prevged area essible to only the topmost powers of the continent", the amiable lookingdy exined.


    "No wonder, this ce is so peaceful. Senior Cang most have used his influence to bring us here", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    "Senior Cang? Are you talking about senior Lu Tai Cang from Lu n?", the middle-ageddy looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head. "Why didn''t he enter inside?", the amiable lookingdyined and inquired about Lu Tai Cang from Zhan Chen''s group.


    The name of thedy was Sun Xiun. It turned out that she was indebted to Lu n especially Lu Tai Cang for his help.


    "Oh, I see. That''s why, senior Lu has sent us inside your inn", Zhan Chen murmured in understanding.


    Sun Xiunid them out of the main hall amd led them to the backside of the establishment. There was another two storied building in the backyard of the Rosewood inn. "You can go to the upper floor and choose a room. I have to go back to the main hall for receiving the guests", Sun Xiun spoke to Zhan Chen''s group.


    She didn''t notice Zhan Chen''s gaze on her while she was going back to the main hall. "I am in need of a woman to breakthrough to the seventh stage of Core condensation realm. Xintong can help me but it will take another few days if I cultivate with her.


    ? I can''t cultivate normally as I am dealing with Tribtion realm experts at this moment. It will be hopeless if an emperor realm expert focus his attention on me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He said the girls to rest inside their rooms and bade farewell to everyone. He walked out of the backyard and came back to the main hall again.


    "Is their anything you need?", Sun Xiun looked towards Zhan Chen. A peculiar glint appeared in Zhan Chen''s eyes when she looked towards him.


    Her eyes went nk for a moment and everything became normal after few moments passed.


    "What happened just now?", Sun Xiun looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion in her eyes.


    "I don''t know. You closed your eyes for few moments", Zhan Chen spoke with an honest look on his face.


    Sun Xiun found the incident edited but she let go of it after few moments. Instead she focused her gaze on Zhan Chen who came to talk with her.


    "Miss, who else is in your family?", Zhan Chen asked her.


    "My father and me. There is no one left in our family", Sun Xiun spoke. Zhan Chen could sense some sorrow in her voice.


    "Where is your father now?", Zhan Chen repeated his question.


    He is travelling the world to breakthrough to thete stage of Heavenly Tribtion realm", Sun Xiun replied honestly.


    She didn''t notice one peculiarity while talking with Zhan Chen. It was her inability to mask her heart infront of Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen had done his trick and Sun Xiun kept talking with him without any restraint on her heart and mind.


    "Are you married?", Zhan Chen looked towards Sun Xiun.


    "Yes but he died in the earlier years of our marriage", Sun Xiun spoke.


    "Then are you alone now?", Zhan Chen looked at her.


    "Yes, it is difficult at first but I am now ustomed to loneliness", Sun Xiun spoke with grief in her voice.


    "Has no one proposed you after the demise of your husband?", Zhan Chen looked towards her.


    "No, who would care for a widow like me?", she spoke with mncholy in her voice.


    "What about me?", Zhan Chen looked towards her.


    "You are joking. How can you...?", Sun Xiun tried to shrug off Zhan Chen but she stopped after seeing the serious look on his face.


    "But you are too young. How is it possible between us?", Sun Xiun spoke with confusion in her voice.


    "Look at me. Tell me if it is possible or not after looking into my eyes", Zhan Chen replied.


    Sun Xiun looked at Zhan Chen''s eyes and it was thest straw that broke her resistance towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen only needed a favourable impression about him in a woman''s heart and he could easily enshrined himself in her mind and soul.


    "Shall I do it then?", Zhan Chen looked towards Sun Xiun.


    "But you are too young", she replied with a blush on her cheeks.


    "Let us give it a try. You can decide for yourself whether to continue or not?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He didn''t wait for her response and pulled her closer to him. Then he nted a passionate kiss on her lips.


    Sun Xiun surprisingly had no resistance towards the advances of Zhan Chen. She coopearated with him passionately and invited him into a nearby room.


    They kept kissing with eachother for several minutes. There was a string of saliva between them when they separated from eachother.


    "Zhan Chen, thank you", Sun Xiun spoke. She looked passionately towards him after their kiss was over.


    "Well, I pulled a trick on you. I hope you don''t mind it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I don''t care. Thanks for making me feel loved again", Sun Xiun spoke.


    "What are you talking about? We have yet to start", Zhan Chen smirked at her.


    Sun Xiun blushed and looked towards Zhan Chen with expectation in her eyes. Zhan Chen pulled her closer again and nted an agressive kiss on her lips.


    Sun Xiun responded passionately and both of their tongues became entangled with eachother. Zhan Chen''s hands didn''t stay idle as he used them to full advantage.


    He kept exploring her back and the bulge below her waist with both of his hands.


    (To be continued...)

 Chapter 223 A Peaceful Morning

    Clothes flew off and two seminaked bodies faced eachother. Zhan Chen pulled off her upper garment and two massive peaks came out in opening.


    Sun Xiun did nothing to hide her peaks. Instead, she went for Zhan Chen''s pant and pulled it off. An awestruck look appeared in her eyes after she saw the massive dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen stretched her hands to massage her peak and gave a smile to her. "Do you like it?", he asked her with a smile on his face.


    "How can you be so big?", she blurted out with surprise in her voice. Zhan Chen picked her hand and ced it open his dragon. Then he continued with the massage of her peaks.


    Sun Xiun was no amateur in this regard. So, she stroked Zhan Chen''s dragon with great passion. Zhan Chen picked her up and ced her on her bed.


    He pulled off thest piece off her cloth and her sacred garden came into his view. Zhan Chen didn''t use hand this time. He directly pressed his mouth on top of her sacred garden.


    "Mmmm~", Sun Xiun moaned as Zhan Chen used his tongue skillfully. Her moans got more frequent after Zhan Chen touched some sensitive spots with his tongue.


    A huge amount of water was umted inside her untended garden. It came outpletely after Zhan Chen used his mouth for some long minutes.


    "Ahhhhn~", Sun Xiun moaned and a long stream of water came out of her sacred cave. Zhan Chen gulped it dly and a satisfied look appeared on the face Sun Xiun.


    She looked at Zhan Chen tenderly as sheid on the bed with her legs wide open.


    Zhan Chen was nning to let her take some rest but he couldn''t control himself after seeing the tender look on her face. Her legs were in an inviting posture already. So, Zhan Chen epted her invitation and stepped inside the castle with a sword in his hand.


    ------------


    The night passed quitely and Zhan Chen came out from his cultivation state feeling refreshed. "Finally, at the seventh stage of Core condensation realm. I have to thank Sun Xiun for her cooperation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He came out of his room and looked towards the rooms of Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and Lin Xintong. Lin Xintong was first to open her door. She threw a mesmerizing smile at Zhan Chen after seeing him looking at her.


    "Good morning Xintong. You seem to be in a good mood today", Zhan Chen spoke to her.


    "I have made some progress in my cultivation. All thanks to you", Lin Xintong spoke with a blush on her face.


    "It is good that I could assist you in cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke to her.


    He threw a look at Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min''s rooms and found Li Yan, Kai Min in a deep cultivation state. Contrary to others, Li Shu was sleeping peacefully inside her room.


    Zhan Chen chose not to disturb them and turned to look towards Lin Xintong.


    "Xintong,e with me. I will introduce someone to you. I hope you two will get along with eachother", Zhan Chen spoke.


    A curious look appeared on Lin Xintong''s eyes after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She followed Zhan Chen to the main hall of the Rosewood inn.


    Sun Xiun was already up after taking rest for a while. A blush appeared on her face after she saw Zhan Chen entering the main hall.


    "Xiu Lan, good morning", Zhan Chen greeted her with a smile on his face.


    "Morning, why do you wake up so early in the morning?", Sun Xiun asked Zhan Chen.


    "I have not gone to sleep. I was cultivating", Zhan Chen replied.<sub> </sub>


    "You should atleast take some rest", Sun Xiun spoke with a blush on her face.


    "No, I am fine. I have brought someone to meet with you", Zhan Chen pointed towards Lin Xintong.


    Only now Sun Xiun noticed that there was another woman apanying Zhan Chen. She threw a look at Lin Xintong with reddened cheeks.


    "Both of you have met with eachother. She is Lin Xintong. I hope you two will get along in future", Zhan Chen spoke to Sun Xiun.


    He left after introducing both of them to eachother. There was a reason for his action, he didn''t want Xintong to feel lonely.


    Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min was a separate group. Shen Ruyan, Su''er and Ling''er was also same. He couldn''t expect each of them to get along with eachother. In such a scenario, he could only find someone who would get along with Lin Xintong.


    His whimsical decision was right as both Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun got close quickly. Both of them had simr situation in their lives. One of them was forgotten by his husband and another was a widow since a long time. Both of them opened their hearts to eachother and Zhan Chen didn''t have to do anything special to nurture their friendship.


    Zhan Chen left them alone and walked out of the main hall. He didn''t enter inside his room rather he chose to sit in the open courtyard.


    Sunlight fell upon him. Zhan Chen closed his eyes for a while and concentrated under the shower of warm sun light.


    He continued to cultivate peacefully untill he heard the voice of Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. All of them came out of their rooms and was currently looking towards him.


    "Good morning, young master", Li Shu greeted him immediately as soon as he opened his eyes.


    "Good morning everyone. How was your night?", Zhan Chen looked towards all three of them with a smile on his face.


    They talked for a while when Zhan Chen reminded everyone about the registration for the grand sectpetition.


    "We should get going", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min had no reason to refuse. So, they agreed with him immediately.


    Zhan Chen led all three of them to main hall where Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun were talking to eachother. Both of them stopped their conversation after seeing Zhan Chen with Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    "Young master Chen, are you going somewhere?", Lin Xintong asked.


    "Yes, we are going to the sky tower for registration", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Are youing with us?", he asked back to Lin Xintong.


    "No, young master. I wish to stay here and talk with big sis Xiun", Lin Xintong replied.


    "Well then, we are going. Take care you two", Zhan Chen spoke and led Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min out of the Rosewood inn.


    "Let''s first look for a restaurant. We can go after tasting some delicacies of the Longyang city", Zhan Chen proposed.


    All three of them nodded their heads because it had been a while since all of them tasted food. They were cultivators but they still need to eat once in a while.


    Zhan Chen called for a magical beast carriage and all of them boarded it to leave the westernmost part of the Longyang city.

 Chapter 224 The Gathering Of Cultivators

    "Are you sure? This restaurant is the best of the Longyang city?", Zhan Chen looked towards the carriage driver.


    "Yes, young master. You have to beleive me. This restaurant may look small but it''s cuisine is famous in the entire centralnd", the carriage driver spoke.


    "Oh! Let us try it then. Hear is your spirit stones", Zhan Chen spoke and handed over some spirit stones to the beast carriage driver.


    The restaurant was looking ordinary from the outside but the crowded infront of it was testament to its poprity. Zhan Chen threw a curious nce towards the restaurant and led Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min towards the entrance of the restaurant.


    "Hey, have you heard? The holy son of the Beast pce is here", a cultivator spoke to hispanions.


    "That is nothing. Even the renowned beauty of the Luo river sect is eating inside the restaurant", anotherpanion of the cultivator added.


    "Really?", all the cultivators in that group turned to look towards theirpanion who talked about the renowned beauty of the Luo river sect.


    Zhan Chen felt slightly interested after hearing the conversation going around him. Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min were also feeling curious after hearing all the talks going around them. They followed behind Zhan Chen and entered inside the restaurant whose name they had yet to know.


    There were an overcrowd situation in the ground floor. Zhan Chen didn''t like the noisy environment. So, he chose to go to the upper floor.


    Upper floor was less noisy. Zhan Chen picked up an empty table and signalled the girls to sit around it.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min looked around the ce after sitting on their chairs. There were all sorts of cultivators eating on the upper floor. They noticed the gazes of the girls and looked back at them.


    "Three beauties and a weak looking pretty boy! Senior brother, should I invite the beauties to our table?", a cultivator asked to hispanion.


    "You may. Tell them that I Wu Kuang wants to see them", thepanion of the cultivator spoke arrogantly.


    The cultivators around them shook their heads after hearing the conversation of the two cultivators. They felt pity for the new group who had just arrived in the upper floor.


    "To think that Wu Kuang would notice them as soon as they arrive. Their luck is really bad", they talked among themselves.


    "Young master, something is wrong", Li Shu could somehow perceive the environment after seeing the pitiful look towards them. Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow after seeing a cultivator walking towards their table.


    "Good morning beauties, my senior brother wants to see you all. So, you should leave this table ande with me", the cultivator spoke with a lecherous look on his face.


    "Who is your senior brother?", Li Yan asked with a cautious look on her face.


    "The holy son of the Beast pce", the cultivator replied with a grin on his face. Li Yan felt frightened after hearing the words of the cultivator.


    She was no stranger to the name ''Beast pce''. It was one of the super power only inferior to the four mighty sects.


    She was just going to look at Zhan Chen when she saw Zhan Chen moving suddenly. It seemed like Zhan Chen didn''t do anything. Yet, the body of the cultivator crashed onto the floor of the restaurant at the next moment.


    The cultivators present in the restaurant looked at Zhan Chen with astonishment on their faces. The next moment, their attention shifted to Wu Kuang who was looking at the scene with a dumbfounded look on his face.


    "Bastard, you dare attack someone from my Beast pce", he yelled furiously after few moments. He pushed aside the table and came towards Zhan Chen with a threatening look on his face.<sub> </sub>


    "Young cultivator, stop. This restaurant is not a ce where you can fight", a calm voice came out from a seeming far off ce. A cautious look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard the voice.


    There was no coercive aura. Yet, cold sweat appeared on the forehead of Wu Kuang. "Senior, sorry for my rudeness but what about this pretty brat?", he pointed towards Zhan Chen.


    "What about him? Yourpanion disturbed him first. So, he is free to knock him unconscious", the voice replied.


    The voice didn''t spoke anything after saying thest sentence but Zhan Chen knew that the formidable cultivator was observing him at this moment.


    The gaze of the mighty cultivator remained on him for a while. He could only rx after the mighty cultivator turned away his gaze ffom him.


    "Damn it. A pseudo emperor! What is this ce?", he thought to himself. A maid came out to take the order after this ficaso ended. Zhan Chen ordered few dishes for everyone and left immediately after finishing his meal. He didn''t forget to look towards a certain direction before leaving the upper floor of the restaurant.


    "He noticed me", a melodious voice rang out in the private room of the restaurant. There was only a single private room and the cultivators inside were currently talking about Zhan Chen after he left.


    There were three cultivators inside the private room. A frail looking old man and two young beauties. Currently, the older one among the two beauties was speaking about Zhan Chen with surprise in her eyes.


    "I know. That brat is unusual. I feel he could even sense my presence inside this room", the frail looking old man spoke.


    "But that is impossible. You are ate Tribtion realm cultivator. So, young cultivator like us has no way of detecting your presence", the older one among the two beauties spoke.


    "Nothing is impossible. Stay away from that brat. He is extremely dangerous", the frail looking old man spoke.


    The beauty nodded her head but a thought of curiosity rose in her her head. "Who is he?", she thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen took a sigh of relief aftering out from the restaurant. He immediately hired a magical beast carriage and entered it along with Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    ''That was extremely dangerous. Who would have thought that a pseudo emperor is looking after this seemingly ordinary restaurant'', he thought to himself.


    ? "Zhan Chen, thank you", Li Yan spoke after they boarded the carriage. Zhan Chen looked towards her after seeing the absentminded look on her face.


    "What is the matter?", he asked to Li Yan.


    "Zhan Chen, tell me honestly. Is their anyone in the restaurant whose cultivation level is lower than me?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow after hearing her question. It was a fact that there was none in that restaurant who was weaker than Li Yan but he didn''t want to say it loud.


    "Zhan Chen, please tell me", Li Yan pleaded to Zhan Chen.


    "I will answer you but tell me what are you thinking first", Zhan Chen spoke with a concerned look on his face. Li Yan felt warm in her heart after seeing the concern of Zhan Chen towards her.


    "I am not thinking anything but after seeing all the cultivators, I feel I am still weak", Li Yan spoke.


    "Then there is no point in your question because you know the answer already. Don''t let that give you extra burden", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Yan.

 Chapter 225 The Mysterious Sky Tower

    "Just think about it. What would I have felt when my cultivation stagnated at the first stage of Meridian opening realm. An eighteen year old cultivator with a cultivation of first stage Meridian opening realm, that is how bad my situation was. But see, have I given up? No. So, never let the circumstances cloud your heart", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Yan.


    He kept talking with Li Yan as they rode the magical beast carriage. He stopped only after hearing the voice of the beast carriage driver.


    "Young master, we have arrived", the beast carraige driver spoke.


    Li Yan ''s condition was somehow better after hearing the continuous persuation of Zhan Chen. She waited alongwith Li Shu and Kai Min when Zhan Chen went off to pay the beast carraige driver.


    "Sister Yan, don''t think too much. Ourck of cultivation is not due to talent. It can be attributed tock of resources", Kai Min spoke.


    "She is right. Out Clear sky province is way too backyard", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Shall we go?", Zhan Chen looked towards the all three girls. All three of them nodded their heads and followed behind Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen stopped after taking few steps forward. He pulled Li Yan towards him and wrapped his hand around her waist.


    "Now it feels right", hemented nonchntly. "What are you doing?", Li Yan stuttered after seeing the sudden action of Zhan Chen.


    "I just felt like holding your waist. That way I can posture infront of other cultivators", Zhan Chen spoke shamelessly. "You!", Li Yan blushed after hearing the unapologetic words of Zhan Chen. But she did nothing to move away from Zhan Chen''s hand.


    Zhan Chen felt a sense of relief after seeing the embarassed Li Yan. His sudden advances sessfully distracted her mind.


    "Young master, where is the sky tower?", Li Shu asked curiously.


    "You can''t see it yet. It is hidden in the fog", Zhan Chen replied and threw a look towards the distant sky.


    Li Shu felt confused but she did not ask any more questions. She walked along with Kai Min and followed behind Zhan Chen and Li Yan.


    All magical beast carraiges had to stop at a distance from the sky tower. Even the flying treasures were also prohibited from getting close to the sky tower. No one knew who made the rules but the spirit pce enforced these rules fiercely.


    Zhan Chen and the three girls had to walk along with other cultivators while walking towards the sky tower of the Longyang city.


    "Hey look, two beauties are fighting there since a long time."


    "Even, the spirit pce enforcers are unable to stop them", few cultivators talked among themselves.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness in a whim and his expression froze after she saw the two beauties fighting.


    "Who dare hurt my big sis?", Zhan Chen shouted as a baleful aura came out from his body. The nearby cultivators trembled on their spots after feeling the murderous auraing out from Zhan Chen.


    They looked towards Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen''s figure was nowhere to be seen. He was already moving towards the fighting location where Zhan Qingyue was fighting with another beauty of her age.


    "Qingyue, give up. You are no match from a disciple from the main sect", an elderly woman spoke to Zhan Qingyue with a worried look on her face.


    "Give up! That is impossible. I will disfigure this bitch first before she could surrender", the girl opposite to Zhan Qingyue spoke with a malicious look on her face.


    "The one who is going to be disfigured is you", the voice of Zhan Chen came from a distance. Zhan Qingyue stood stunned for a moment and that was enough for her opponent to thrust her sword towards her belly.<sub> </sub>


    "Die you bitch", she spoke maliciously and thrusted her sword towards Zhan Qingyue. But her gire froze even before she could touch Zhan Qingyue ''s body. Zhan Chen appeared near her in the next moment and took the sword from her hand.


    "Young man, stop", a furious voice came from a distance but it didn''t stop Zhan Chen from shing at the face of Zhan Qingyue ''s opponent.


    A huge palm fell towards Zhan Chen in the next moment and it was toote for Zhan Chen to do anything. He managed to get away barely and still heavy wounds opened up on his body.


    "Sister Tangning stop. You should not act agressively in a ce like this", another voice came and an oppressive aura fell upon the female expert who had just attacked Zhan Chen.


    "Cough! Cough", Zhan Chen threw up some blood and looked towards the expert who had just attacked him. There was a glint on his eyes as he looked towards the old woman who had just attacked him.


    "Little Chen", Zhan Qingyue called out worriedly after seeing the injuries on Zhan Chen''s body. She looked towards her teacher to intervene for Zhan Chen. Her teacher shook her head helplessly after seeing the begging look on Zhan Qingyue ''s face. She was helpless infront of the mighty experts of the main brach.


    "What is happening? Why the spirit pce guards are noting to arrest this brat?", the expert who had just stopped hispanion from attacking Zhan Chenined to herself.


    She was just looking for the spirit pce cultivators when she sensed a mighty aura approaching their location. It was Lu Tai Cang who had already sensed Zhan Chen''s weakened aura.


    This time he didn''t bother to suppress his aura and directlynded beside Zhan Chen. "What is happening here?", he murmured to himself after looking at the condition of Zhan Chen.


    "It is that bitch. Cough", Zhan Chen pointed at the old woman who had attacked him.


    "Frozen cloud sect!", Lu Tai Cang raised his eyebrow after seeing the attire and the two Tribtion realm cultivators.


    "Fellow daoist, do you know this young man?", the other expert from the Frozen cloud sect asked Lu Tai Cang.


    "Yes, he is from the Zhan n. Please tell me, what misunderstanding your friend has with him?", Lu Tai Cang asked with voice transmission.


    The other expert of the Frozen cloud sect exined the matter and Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    "What is your rtionship with her?", he asked to Zhan Chen.


    "She is my elder sister", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What? She is also from the Zhan n?", Lu Tai Cang asked with a surprised look on his face. Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "What a headache. This is going to be messy", Lu Tai Cang massaged his forehead and turned to look towards the teacher of Qingyue.


    "I am taking her with me. Do you have any problem?", he asked to Zhan Qingyue ''s teacher. Zhan Qingyue ''s teacher shook her head and Lu Tai Cang picked up Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    When Zhan Chen opened his eyes, it was already night. He found himself in the Rosewood inn surrounded by beauties.


    "I have overslept", he murmured to himself after seeing the worried and tired look on all beauties faces.


    "Zhan Chen, how can you be so reckless?", Sun Xiun spoke as she wpied the rear droping out from her eyes. This time, she didn''t bother to hide her rtionship with Zhan Chen infront of others.


    "Zhan Chen, she is speaking the truth. You are really reckless this time", the voice of Lu Tai Cang came from the outside of the room.

 Chapter 226 The Problem With Zhan Qingyue

    "Picking a fight with a Tribtion realm expert! What are you even thinking?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I am really reckless this time. But the next time we meet, I will get even with that old bitch", Zhan Chen replied.


    "No need to do anything unnecessary. My apprerance beside you should have been noticed by the other experts.


    We should be vignt now because it will be troublesome if any enemies send some peak Tribtion realm experts for you", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Senior, please rest assure. I will not do anything that will cause you anymore trouble", Zhan Chen replied. Lu Tai Cang nodded his head and left the room.


    "Young master, are you feeling better?", Li Shu asked with a worried look on her face. Don''t worry, I am fine. I just need to cultivate a while and I will be alright", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He took a look at everybody''s faces and a warm feeling bubbled inside his heart. I can''t reciprocate their feelings how hard I try. Still I will do my best. The focus now is on getting stronger because it is best possible oue for me and them", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "You girls should go and rest a little. Especially, Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan. You three go and take a rest. We can talk in the morning", Zhan Chen spoke. Three girls epted his suggestion because they were really tired at this very moment. Such emotional strain was too much for their heart and mind.


    "Now, I should take a look at big sis. Her wounds should have healed somehow due to our bloodline", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He spread his soul consciousness towards the adjacent room and checked upon Zhan Qingyue who was lying on a bed. A frown appeared on his face as soon as he checked Zhan Qingyue with his soul consciousness.


    "What is going on here? Who ced a seal on big sis''s soul?", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    He took some time to analyze the seal and finally a look of understanding appeared on his face. "No wonder, I have never noticed the seal because this seal wasid by a peak sage realm expert! With my previous soul strength, it was impossible to notice the work of a peak sage realm expert", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    p "But the question is whoid such aplex seal on sister''s soul? What is his purpose?", a thoughtful look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he observed the sleeping face of Zhan Qingyue.</anda>


    Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun didn''t disturb Zhan Chen after seeing such a serious look on his face. Zhan Chen continued to analyze the seal and tried to look for a way to remove the seal. He was deep in his thought when he felt something. He hurriedly retracted his soul consciousness from Zhan Qingyue ''s room as a vignt look appeared on his face.


    "Ate stage emperor. What is he checking in big sis''s room?", Zhan Chen felt puzzled and stayed vignt. The next moment what he saw was truly iprehensible for his mind because the mighty emperor started to weep.


    The mighty emperor was just looking at Zhan Qingyue yet tear drops fell from his eyes on its own. "Forgive me Qingyue. I am such a worthless father. I risked your life, lied to third sister.


    After twenty years, you have grown up yet I have never get to hold you in my arms. Now I am afraid, really afraid to appear before you. What you will think of me who heartlessly abandon his own daughter when she was just bo the emperor murmured to himself and kept shedding tear.


    It took him half an hour before he could control himself. His gentle gaze turned menacing as he took ast look at the sleeping Qingyue. "Rest well, Qingyue. Your attacker will not get to see the morning tomorrow", he spoke in a slow voice and disappeared from the sky.


    "Darkness element", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after watching the emperor leaving. There was a shocked look on his face and it took him a while before he could calm down.


    "An emperor iming himself to be big sis''s father! Just what is going on here?", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He got up from his bed and walked towards the door.


    "Zhan Chen, where are you going? You should not leave the bed in your condition", Sun Xiun spoke.


    "I need to see senior Cang immediately. It is really urgent", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then I will call senior for you. Please don''t leave your bed", Sun Xiun spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and watched Sun Xiun leaving the room.


    Lu Tai Cang was meditating inside a room when Sun Xiun knocked his door. She exined the matter of Zhan Chen to Lu Tai Cang.


    "Let''s go then. It is not a good idea for him to move in his condition", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, what is the matter?", Lu Tai Cang asked Zhan Chen after entering inside the room.


    "Senior, have you heard about any emperor with darkness affinity?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Tai Cang.<sub> </sub>


    "Emperor with natural affinity towards darkness!", Lu Tai Cang felt puzzled.


    "I have heard of no such experts. There are many cultivators who practice darkness energy but natural affinity towards darkness, that is really a rarity even in the centralnd", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "But why are you asking me about this? From your expression, I can tell that your matter is very urgent", Lu Tai Cang asked.


    "Senior, I want to find out the identity of a certain cultivator", Zhan Chen exined.


    They were just talking with eachother when Lu Tai Cang received a transmission tailsman. A weird look appeared on his face after he looked into the content of the tailsman.


    "Senior, what is the matter?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Someone has killed a cultivator from the Frozen cloud sect. Moreover, the killer seemed to have darkness affinity", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Is the person you are looking for rted to this incident?", he looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and a contemtive look appeared on his face.


    "No need to think much. The spirit pce will not tolerate such tant disregard for it''sw. The identity of the killer will be found out soon", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    He bidded farewell to Zhan Chen and went out of the room. Zhan Chen took a look at Zhan Qingyue and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.


    ''There is no point in thinking much. I can''t interfere in these matters without bing powerful myself.


    I aming across Tribtion realm experts and now an emperor level expert has appeared. I need to increase my cultivation as soon as possible to stand a chance against such cultivators'', he thought to himself.


    Finally, heid his eyes on the two beauties present inside his room. "I need both of your help this time. I can heal faster if you two cooperate", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "We can help you!", Sun Xiun asked with confusion on her face.


    "Yes, you can do dual cultivation with me and that will heal me faster", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Dual cultivation!", Sun Xiu Lan ''s cheeks reddened immediately after hearing the straightforward request of Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 227 Heart Of A Maiden

    "Dual cultivation! But senior Cang is staying in a nearby room", Sun Xiun spoke with flushed cheeks.


    "Moreover, you are injured now. You should take rest", Sun Xiun added.


    "Don''t worry. Senior Cang will not notice anything even if he used his soul consciousness. As for my injury, you don''t need to worry about it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Well then, I will leave now. You can call me after you are finished with sister Xintong", Sun Xiun spoke. She took a shy nce at Zhan Chen and Lin Xintong before hurrying towards the door.


    "Xiun, stop. Did I ask you to leave?", Zhan Chen spoke in a loud voice.


    Sun Xiun stopped but she felt confused. There were three people inside the room. Either she or Lin Xintong had to leave if Zhan Chen wanted to do dual cultivation. Her confusion got cleared aslfter she hard the next sentence of Zhan Chen.


    "No one need to leave. If you agree then we can do it together", Zhan Chen spoke.


    *Together!", Sun Xiu blushed heavily after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. She took a look at Lin Xintong but saw seeing at her with a shy look on her face.


    "Xiu Lan, Xintong has no problem in doing it. Now, everything is up to you whether you arefortable with her", Zhan Chen spoke.


    ''Well!'' Sun Xiun stood undecided for a moment but she finally gave in. She felt shy yet somehow excited to do such a perverted thing.


    Zhan Chen only needed her consent because she knew Lin Xintong ''s preference. Lin Xintong became more excited if she did it in thepany of another woman. She had a hidden interest in girl-girl thing but she had yet to do it because her reserved nature outside of the bedroom.


    "Xintong, help Xiun in undressing", Zhan Chen looked towards Lin Xintong. Lin Xintong nodded shyly and went towards Sun Xiun.


    Sun Xiun felt awkward but she didn''t resist.


    She also helped Lin Xintong in getting undressed.


    Both of them were matured woman. So, their voluptuous bodies were really a treat to Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Both of had good curves and bountiful assets. Zhan Chen''s little dragon felt excited immediately after seeing such marvel infront of it.


    Both of them helped Zhan Chen to undress. Zhan Chen could move now properly but he chose to not strain himself and let the girls do their job.


    Sun Xiun felt shy but she also participated after seeing Lin Xintong taking the lead. Both of them used their hands to stroke Zhan Chen''s dragon and it was a pleasure for Zhan Chen to receive the care of both of them.


    Lin Xintong wrapped her peaks around Zhan Chen''s dragon and brought down her mouth to leak it. Zhan Chen''s felt like exploding after feeling the softness and the wet tongue of Lin Xintong around his dragon.


    She licked Zhan Chen''s dragon to her heart''s content. Then handed it over to Sun Xiun. Sun Xiun also did the same and took care of Zhan Chen''s little brother.


    Lin Xintong went one more step ahead and took in the family jewels of Zhan Chen inside her mouth. Zhan Chen couldn''t help but let out a indistinct sound as it was too much even for him. Veins started to pop out on his dragon ''s body as it received the intense care of Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun.


    "Xiun, use you mouth properly", Zhan Chen spoke. Sun Xiun released his dragon from the cage of her peaks and lowered his to swallow the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    She did a good job and lowered her mouth as she could. Zhan Chen felt an urge to move his waist but he had to control himself. Otherwise, his wounds would reopen again.<sub> </sub>


    "That should be enough for now. Come, sit on it", Zhan Chen spoke to Sun Xiun. Sun Xiun blushed but she still followed Zhan Chen''s instruction. She lowered her waist on Zhan Chen''s dragon and took in the bulging dragon of Zhan Chen inside her cave.


    Her peaks swayed along with her waist as she started to move her body. This time Zhan Chen could not control himself longer as he deposited his yang essence inside the warm cave of Sun Xiun.


    Sun Xiun closed her eyes in ecstacy as a stream of water came out of her cave at the same time. She stayed there like this for a while and a mix of fluid came out of her cave when she took out Zhan Chen''s dragon out of her cave.


    She looked towards Zhan Chen tenderly as a satisfied look appeared on her face. Lin Xintong was quick to react as she immediately jumped into action. She cleaned the dragon of Zhan Chen with her tongue and looked towards Zhan Chen with expectation in her eyes.


    Zhan Chen told her to go ahead and it was her turn to ride the horse. Both of the girls did their jobs magnificently and it turned out to be a wonderful night for Zhan Chen.


    ------------


    "Big sis, how are you feeling?", Zhan Chen walked inside after seeing Zhan Qingyue waking up from her sleep.


    "Little Chen", a smile appeared on Zhan Qingyue''s face after she saw Zhan Chen.


    "I am fine. How is your injuries now?", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a worried look on her face.


    "I am good now. It will not be problem to enter the sky tower", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Are you telling the truth? Your injuries are very serious yesterday", Zhan Qingyue spoke with a sceptical look on her face.


    A flushed look appeared on her face after she saw what Zhan Chen was doing in the next moment. "Little Chen, why are you stripping?", she asked with flustered tone in her voice.


    "Ofcourse it is to show you that I am fine", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Shameless! Quickly wear your clothes. Otherwise, it will be embarassing if someonee", Zhan Qingyue spoke but she couldn''t help herself but took a passing nces at the bulging dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "It is so big!", she thought to herself with a flushed expression on her face. "Little Chen, why are you not wearing your clothes", Zhan Qingyue chided once again after seeing Zhan Chen standing naked.


    Zhan Chen obeyed her wotlrds this time as a grin appeared on his face. The flustered expression of his big sis was extremely cute to miss. So, he teased as soon as he entered inside her room.


    Kai Min, Li Yan and Li Shu entered inside Zhan Qingyue ''s room after some time and they asked about her well being and Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Qingyue warmed upto them quickly but a thought appeared inside her mind. "So much girls, what is little Chen doing?", she thought to herself.


    "Little Chen, are they all your friends?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "No, not all of them. Kai Min, Li Shu are my women and Li Yan is still a friend to me", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Your women!", Zhan Qingyue stood stunned for a moment. An emotional upheavel and confusion flooded her heart but she suppressed her emotion quickly.


    "Good for you then. Third aunt will be happy if she hears about it", Zhan Qingyue spoke.

 Chapter 228 The Identity Of The Killer

    "Big sis, get ready. We are going to the sky tower for registration", Zhan Chen spoke. Zhan Qingyue nodded her head and tried her best to not show any emotion infront of Zhan Chen.


    Two drops of tear came out of her eyes after she saw Zhan Chen leaving her room.


    "I know little Chen need women to cultivate because his cultivation path is the path of dual cultivation. But for some reason I feel pain in my heart. What if little Chen didn''t want me anymore. What should I do?", Zhan Qingyue thought to herself with a forlorn expression on her face.


    She was so into her thoughts that she didn''t notice Zhan Chen entering inside her room. She felt two pairs ofstrong arms around her body as Zhan Chen pulled her into his embrace.


    "Big sis, why are you crying?", Zhan Chen looked tenderly towards Zhan Qingyue. She tried to hide her emotion infront of him but her attempt was futile infront of Zhan Chen''s watchful eyes.


    He used heart peeriing technique and saw through the thoughts of Zhan Qingyue. A tender expression appeared on his face after he saw the emotion of his big sister.


    "Big sis, it is not like you. From when you have started to feel insecure? Don''t you know how much I like you? How could you have imagined such things?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zhan Qingyue.


    "Little Chen, I ...", Zhan Qingyue tried to give an exnation but she realised she had none to fool Zhan Chen.


    "Big sis, remember this. I may take as much women as I need but the closest person to my heart is always you. Forgetting you not an option. I would rather die than facing such a day", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Little Chen!", Zhan Qingyue cried out after hearing the heartfelt feeling of Zhan Chen. "Little Chen, I am sorry", she spoke while embracing Zhan Chen tightly.


    "She is always a warrior. She is not a person to think about such trivial things. There most be a reason for the insecurity in her heart", Zhan Chen thought to himself while embracing Zhan Qingyue.


    "Little Chen, wait outside for now. I need to change my clothes", Zhan Qingyue spoke after she settled down a little. She pushed Zhan Chen outside and closed the door behind his back.


    "Big sis will never change. We have already seen eachother yet she is still so shy infront of me", Zhan Chen thought to himself with a smile on his face.


    -------------


    "Elder Shang, have you caught the killer?", The pce master of the Spirit pce looked towards the elder kneeling infront of him.


    "No but we manage to confront him", the kneeling elder replied. There was a look of trepidation in his eyes when he thought about the identity of the kiiler.


    "Oh, who is he? You should not be so nervous even if the killer is from one of the nine superpowers of the centralnd", the pce master of the Spirit pceforted the kneeling elder.


    "Pce master, the killer is an expert from the Yuan n", elder Shang replied with a fearful expression on his face.


    "Yuan n! What are they doing in our Longyang city?", the pce master of the spirit pce eximed with a confused expression on his face.


    "I don''t know but he is incredibly strong. I can''t even move my body when he stopped to take a look at me", elder Shang spoke.


    "You are a peak Tribtion realm cultivator then who can induce such fear inside your heart?", the pce master of the Spirit pce looked towards elder Shang. Then realisation struck him as a look of shock appeared on his face.


    "An emperor! Moreover at least a middle stage emperor or above that", the pce master of the Spirit pce murmured.<sub> </sub>


    He sat silently for a moment as a thoughtful look appeared on his face. Elder Shang didn''t disturb him as he let his pce master think in peace.


    After some time, the pce master of the Spirit pce raised his head and looked towards elder Shang. There was a decisive look on his face as he decided something.


    "Pce master, what should we do?", elder Shang inquired.


    "No need to do anything. Just spread the word that it is the Yuan n who has killed the disciple of the Frozen cloud sect", the pce master of the Spirit pce replied.


    "But that is against ourw. Our spirit pce has always upheld justice in the Longyang city. If we don''t do anything, then we will lose our face", elder Shang spoke with confusion on his face.


    "I would rather lose face than confront those natural born assasins. Our Spirit pce can fight them but it is not worth to fight over a single disciple of the Frozen cloud sect", the pce master of the Spirit pce spoke.


    "Pce master, what if the ancestoral pce objects?", elder Shang asked.


    "I will talk to them. They should know what is important for our Spirit pce".


    -----------


    "Zhan Chen, don''t cause any trouble today. Today is thest day for the registration in the sky tower", Lu Tai Cang spoke after sitting inside a magical beast carraige. He was apanying Zhan Chen, Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and Zhan Qingyue to the entrance of the Sky tower.


    "Senior, the matter of yesterday was not my fault. I need to intervene before anything happens to big sis", Zhan Chen protested.


    "You are only required to intervene yet what have you done? You have cut the face of the disciple of the Frozen cloud sect.


    Now, she was killed in the same day. Tell me, who do you think people will suspect?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is not me", Zhan Chen shrugged his shoulders.


    "I know but is your rification good enough to pacify the enraged elder of the Frozen cloud sect?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I don''t know. Moreover, it will be best if that old bitch die of anger", Zhan Chen retorted.


    Lu Tai Cang felt a headache after hearing the cursing of Zhan Chen. He wisely shut his mouth and apained the girls and Zhan Chen to the entrance of the sky tower.


    He received a transmission tailsman just after they got off the beast carraige.


    "Senior Cang, what is it?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Tai Cang with a curious expression on his face.


    "They have found out the identity of the killer. It is someone from the Yuan n!", Lu Tai Cang replied. There was disbelief written all over his face.

 Chapter 229 Inside The Sky Tower

    "Yuan n?", Zhan Chen felt confused as he had never heard any such name in his life time. He looked towards the girls and they also had a clueless look on their faces.


    There was something off about Zhan Qingyue''s expression but she was quick enough to mask it. Zhan Chen could not notice her changed expression and turned to look towards Lu Tai Cang for an exnation.


    "You have never heard about the Yuan n because people generally have no idea about the existence of hidden powers", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Hidden powers! I have heard about them somewhere but I have not much information on them", Zhan Chen replied with a thoughtful expression on his face.


    "There isck of information on them because these powers generally do not interact with eachother. Even our Lu n has only some basic informations on these powers", Lu Tai Cang exined.


    "As for the Yuan n, it is one of the most mysterious and powerful n among all hidden powers. Nothing is known about them except their mastery over darkness element and their fearsome assasination techniques", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    He spoke about some other rumours about the Yuan n and the girls listened to his words with fascination in their eyes.


    The magical beast carraige ran at its usual speed and it finally stopped after reaching near the entrance of the sky tower. Zhan Chen, Lu Tai Cang and the girls stepped out of the carraige and their eyes immediately went towards the huge gathering of cultivators ahead.


    "It is very lively today", Lu Tai Cangmented. He paid the beast carraige driver and led Zhan Chen and the girls towards the entrance of the sky tower.


    "Keep one thing in mind after entering the sky tower. Avoid being overly greedy and look for the exit when you are tired", Lu Tai Cang spoke to Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and Zhan Qingyue. As for Zhan Chen, he purposefully ignored him because he was sure that Zhan Chen would never listen to his suggestion.


    Zhan Chen, Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and Zhan Qingyue bade farewell to Lu Tai Cang and walked along with other cultivators towards the entrance of the sky tower.


    There was a huge line of cultivators ahead of them. Zhan Chen and the girls had to wait a while before they could see the cultivator incharge of the registration process.


    There was a huge stone altar infront of the cultivator in charge of the registration. He instructed Zhan Chen''s group to climb it after noting down their basic details.


    The altar had one simple function. It could easily see through the skeletal age of a cultivator.


    Zhan Qingyue - twenty years old


    Zhan Chen - eighteen years old


    Li Shu-eighteen years old


    Li Yan- eighteen years old


    Kai Min- eighteen years old


    "Youngdy, you can''t fight in the first round of the grand sectpetition as there is an age restriction of eighteen years. You can participate in theter rounds where the age limit is twenty five years", the cultivator in charge spoke to Zhan Qingyue.


    "Senior, I only want to enter inside the sky tower. I have no nning for joining the grand sectpetition", Zhan Qingyue replied.


    "Each of you have to give hundred spirit stones before you receive your token", the cultivator in charge of registration spoke. Zhan Chen took out five hundred spirit stones and handed it over to the cultivaor infront of him.


    The cultivaor took a look at the spirit stones and handed over five tokens to Zhan Chen''s group. He also handed over five escape tailsman to Zhan Chen before looking at the other cultivators.


    "Kai Min, Li Yan, you two are nning to enter in the grand sectpetition, am I right?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min and Li Yan.<sub> </sub>


    "Yes", both of them nodded their heads and waited for Zhan Chen to speak further.


    "Then, you two need to be more careful. A participant have to pass through at least two floors of sky tower before he or she was allowed to join in the grand sectpetetion", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "As for Li Shu and big sis, both of you have no such restrictions. Try to stay as much longer as possible in the sky tower and use the escape tailsman if there is any problem", Zhan Chen spoke.


    All the girls nodded their heads and followed behind Zhan Chen. There were two Spirit pce guards at the end of the corridor. They checked the tokens of each one and pointed towards a stone altar infront of them.


    "Teleportation formation!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after checking the stone altar. The altar radiated multicoloured lights after Zhan Chen, Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and Zhan Qingyue climbed on it.


    All of them felt dazed for a moment as their bodies vanished from the top of the stone altar.


    "Another five have entered. what floor do you think they can climb to?"


    "At most third floor. Only some choosen geniuses can enter the fourth floor at their age", the two Spirit pce cultivators talked among themselves.


    Their conversation continued while Zhan Chen found himself in a grassy in. He stood stunned for a moment after seeing the surrounding around him.


    "There is clear sky and the sun! What is going on here?", he thought to himself.


    There was no one to give him answer. So, he had to suppress his curiousity and walked ahead. The inside of the sky tower was like a real in. Wind was blowing and there was luxuriant grass all around.


    Zhan Chen walked leisurely while waiting for his preys to appear. He didn''t have to wait longer as a boar came charging towards him from his left.


    Zhan Chen wrapped the boar with his soul consciousness curiously and an amazed look appeared on his face. "An energy body! This tower is really interesting", he thought to himself.


    He swung his hand and the body of the boar split into two. Tiny dust like energy particles came out of the body of the boar and floated towards Zhan Chen. It took less than a minute before the body of the boar turned into nothing.


    "It is pure energy yet the quantity is miniscue. This ground floor is meant for Essence gathering realm cultivators and Meridian opening realm cultivators", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    After he killed a single boar, two boars came out of nowhere towards him. After finishing the two, two pairs of boars came towards him simultaneously.


    "This is meaningless", Zhan Chen murmured after killing the four boars. He walked ahead while killing the boars left and right. He had to walk a while before reaching the entrance of the second floor.


    There were two simr looking stone altars in the Northern end of the grassy in. Zhan Chen immediately knew that the two stone altars could be used for teleportation purpose.


    One of the altar had an upward symbol on it. Zhan Chen climbed on it and the teleportation formation activated on it''s own.


    While he was acting leisurely, he didn''t know that someone had taken an interest on him in the sky tower.


    It was the highest floor of the sky tower where a creature was floating in the air. There was a curious look on it''s face as it observed Zhan Chen with a curious look on it''s face.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t feel any soul consciousness or anything around him but the creature could somehow observe every activity, he was doing.

 Chapter 230 Ascending The Floors

    "Such an interesting human! I wonder how much he can achieve in this pagoda", the creature murmured to itself. Surprisingly, it was referring the sky tower as a pagoda which would confuse all of the cultivators of the Northern desert continent.


    Zhan Chen started challenging the second floor without any idea that he was being observed. Otherwise, he would not stay as rxed as he was now.


    In the second floor, he found some weird looking monkeys as challengers. Unlike the normal monkeys, these monkeys had huge fangs.


    Their size was also massive which made them more menacing than some ordinary magical beasts. They attacked Zhan Chen as soon as theyid their eyes on him.


    Zhan Chen made a horizontal sh with his hand and thick cuts appeared on the waist of the three monkeys who had just appeared.


    A surprised expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw that his attack couldn''t kill the monkeys.


    ''These monkeys are rather tough. Their power is like some ordinary second tier magical beasts but their physical body can bepared to third tier magical beasts.


    No wonder even the True essence realm cultivators find it difficult to advance from second floor onwards", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    He dodged the attacks of wounded monkeys and delivered another attack towards them. This time they stopped on their path and their bodies started to disintegrate.


    Energy particles came out from their bodies and assimted in the body of Zhan Chen. "Increase in quality of the energy but still not enough. The second floor is best suited for the True essence realm cultivators to cultivate. I should move forward", he decided inside his mind.


    He walked forward nonchntly while negating the attacks of the violent monkeys easily. If Li Yan was here, she would curse heaven for the unfair treatment she was receiving.


    She was still struggling in the first floor where scores of wild boars were harassing her. Their power was weak but Li Yan still had to watch out for the physical harm they could cause. Her condition was somehow betterpared to other girls.


    Li Shu and Kai Min were really struggling against the repeated attacks of the magical boars. Zhan Qingyue was advancing valiantly but she also had to slow down after herds of magical boars started to appear.


    "Has little Chen crossed the first floor?", she thought to herself while fighting with the magical boars. She thought about the other girls and a fighting spirit rose in herself.


    She attacked more intensely and made a way for herself amidst the charging boars.


    Li Yan was as determined as Zhan Qingyue. So, she could match her pace with the assistance from her own superior cultivation.


    Kai Min was different from Li Yan and Zhan Qingyue as she was a gentle type girl. So, she found it really hard to progress amidst the unrelenting attacks of boars.


    Her condition was still managable but it was really worst for Li Shu. She was facing a tremendous change from the boars as her attack technique was not refined like other girls present.


    She could only swung her massive hammer and tried to fend herself from the unrelenting attacks of the magical boars. She would have given up straight away if it was before she had met with Zhan Chen. But now, something had changed in her heart.


    She had never felt the urge to increase her power but it was different after she saw the growing numbers of women around Zhan Chen. She knew that Zhan Chen would never mistreat her no matter how far he went but it was her desire to follow Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    She needed to upgrade both her cultivation and weapon smithing skills to stand behind Zhan Chen. Li Shu was aware of that fact. So, she made up her mind and did her best to progress in the Sky tower.


    Zhan Chen would be pleased if he would have seen the determined look on the girls faces but it was a pity that he could not witness it with his own eyes. For now, he was busy with killing the violent monkeys who continued to pursue him, no matter where ever he went.


    "Finally, I am done", Zhan Chen thought to himself after seeing the stone tform in a distance. He did a backhand motion and stopped the nearby violent monkey from doing him any harm.


    "There is too much of them to kill. I would rather go to the third floor than killing these annoying monkeys", he murmured to himself and used the Cloud chasing steps.


    The stone tform lit up after he climbed on top of it. He took ast look at the gathered monkeys before his figure disappeared from the second floor.


    It was the same brightly lit sky and a sky high sun in the third floor. But what made the third floor different was the structure of the ground.


    Instead of luxuriant grass, there was golden sand everywhere. Hot wind was blowing and it was really difficult to walk with all the sand particles in the atmosphere.


    ''This ce is really mysterious. First it was


    grass and now it is sand. What kind of attainment one need in formation technique to make such ces?'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    ''At least, I am sure of one thing. Such deeds can''t be aplished by a mortal even if the person is at the peak of sage realm'', Zhan Chen thought further.


    A yearning look appeared on his face as he thought about the origin of the Sky tower. He was contemting while walking when a sudden change alerted his mind.


    He hurriedly sent a palm sh towards the ground and moved back. The tip of a huge stinger stopped in the midway after receiving the palm sh from him.


    Sand particles fell off as a huge creature made its appearance. Zhan Chen first saw a pitch ck stinger. The creature gradually surfaced and Zhan Chen finally knew who he needed to face in the third floor of the Sky tower.


    It was a monster scorpion with an oversized stinger. It made another attempt onhim as soon as it came out from the sand.


    Zhan Chen dodged the attack again and sent a finger sh towards the monster scorpion. A sharp essence energy sh fell upon the body of the scorpion but it could only make a dull sound before vanishing in the air.


    "Such a tough shell", Zhan Chen murmured to himself while dodging another attack from the monster scorpion. He was casually attacking but his shes could easily kill peak True essence realm experts. Zhan Chen was surprised to see that his finger shes had no impact on the monster scorpion.


    "I can''t stay rxed anymore. It is time to get serious", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He waved his hand once again and a thick sh fell upon the body of the scorpion.


    This sh didn''t manage to kill it but it broke upon the outeryer of the scorpion. Meanwhile, another scorpion came out from the ground and Zhan Chen had to dodge once again to save himself from the oversized stinger.


    He was already aware of the Sky tower pattern. He had to kill the monster scorpions quickly. Otherwise, there number would go up like the wild monkeys of the second floor.

 Chapter 231 Rising Strength

    When Li Yan opened her eyes, she found Zhan Qingyue and Kai Min lying beside her. A worried looking Li Shu was looking after them.


    "Sister Yan", Li Shu called out after seeing Li Yan opening her eyes. A relieved look appeared on her face after she saw her sister trying to sit up.


    "What happened? How much time I have been sleeping?", Li Yan asked Li Shu with confusion in her eyes. Thest thing she could recall was her arrival on the third floor.


    She sessfully ran away from the violent monkeys and somehow dragged herself to the stone tform. Her curiousity got better of her as she chose to take a look at third floor without going for the exit of second floor.


    She found herself standing on a desert after arriving on the third floor. Hot wind was blowing and there were golden sand everywhere as far as her eyes could reach.


    She was just looking everywhere cautiously when a sudden attack came from the ground. Before she could react, the attack pierced her belly. Li Yan could only see a gigantic stinger and her vision blurred after that. She couldn''t even use the escape Tasman as her eyes became heavypletely.


    Now that she had woke up, she found herself lying on the stone surface of a gigantic corridor. There were bandages wrapped around her wounds. She asked Li Shu and found out that it was the Spirit pce cultivators who treated her along with other girls.


    "Where is Zhan Chen? Has not hee out yet?", Li Yan asked Li Shu. Li Shu shook her head with a worried look on her face.


    -----------------


    "Windchaser sword", Zhan Chen murmured softly and swung his hand. A sword shaped energy materialized out of his hand and attacked the leaping creature infront of him.


    "Boom", the energy sword exploded upon colliding with the body of the leaping creature. A dull ''thud'' sound came as the body of the creature crashed onto the ground of the fourth floor.


    "Roar"


    "Roar",


    roaring sounds came from the surrounding as a response to Zhan Chen''s attack. Zhan Chen dodged immediately as two attacks rained on him from different directions.


    Two palm deep holes appeared where he was standing before. Zhan Chen looked ahead and found two creatures looking at him menacingly. The creature who had just got hit by his attack stood up after a second.


    The creatures had tworge canines and they had ck stripes on their back. He had already recognised the menacing creatures standing infront of him. They were Sabretooth tigers famous for their ferocity. Zhan Chen had to fight them in the fourth floor after finishing off the monster scorpions of the third floor.


    He was currently at the peak of the seventh stage of the Core condensation realm. His advancement in strength came as a pleasant surprise to him after he finished off a huge number of monster scorpions.


    He chose to cultivate a while before advancing to the fourth floor. That''s why there was a dy in his arrival to the fourth floor.


    Every floor had a safe zone and that was the area near the stone tform. Zhan Chen benefitted from this arrangement and now stood at the peak of Core condensation realm. One single push and he would jump a realm to the Martial ascension realm.


    The pure energy of the sky tower was really beneficial for a cultivator. Zhan Chen found the challenges of the sky tower rewarding after he stepped into the fourth floor of the sky tower.


    "I can easily umte enough energy to push myself to the Martial ascension realm", he thought to himself. He swung his hand once again andunched another attack towards the wounded Sabretooth tiger.


    "Roar", a Sabretooth tiger opened his mouth and an energy gust came out from its mouth. It easily intercepted the attack that Zhan Chen hadunched.


    Zhan Chen was waiting for this opportunity. He used the Cloud chasing steps and appeared near the Sabretooth tiger who had justunched the gust of energy.


    p He swung his hand and a thick energy sh flew towards the Sabretooth tiger. The Sabretooth tiger tried to dodge but its attempt proved futile.</anda>


    Zhan Chen continued to attack the three Sabretooth tigers and it took him a while before he could finish them off. Another three Sabretooth tigers came to intercept him and a fierce fight ensured between Zhan Chen and the Sabretooth tigers.


    Zhan Chen looked slightly exhausted after finishing them off. "Their cunningness has no use infront of me but the real challenge lies in the toughness of their bodies. It is almost simr to the fifth tier magical beasts", Zhan Chen thought to himself.<sub> </sub>


    He continued to fight the Sabretooth tigers and dense pure energy started to umte inside his body. After fighting for few hours, he finally stopped.


    "I have gathered enough energy. It is time to improve my cultivation", he thought to himself.


    He used the Cloud chasing steps and dashed towards the stone tform of the fourth floor. The Sabretooth tigers gave chase but they were no match for the speed of the Cloud chasing steps.


    They finally stopped after seeing the stone tform ahead of them. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the Sabretooth tigers backing off. He sat crosslegged and closed his eyes to concentrate.


    He operated the Celestial yin yang sutra and thick strands of energy started to circte all over his body. He used the energy to polish his core for a while.


    It took some time but Zhan Chen was not impatient at all. He finally stopped when he couldn''t polish his core anymore. "Now it is time for the Martial ascension realm", he murmured to himself.


    Martial ascension realm was a huge step in a cultivator''s life. Among the seven stages of cultivation, the Martial ascension realm was the most difficult among all.


    The number of Core condensation realm cultivators were very high in the centralnd. But when it came to Martial ascension realm, there was a sharp decline in their numbers.


    The true path of cultivation started from the Martial ascension realm. That''s why, there was the term ''ascension'', to describe the importance of the realm for the cultivators.


    Martial ascension realm cultivators could fly on their own. They also awaken soul consciousness with which they could observe the nearby area in details. A cultivator can''t be regarded as a true expert unless he stepped foot in the Martial ascension realm.


    The true challenge of the Martial ascension realm lied in its requirement. One needed to strengthen his soul even before he could think of attempting a breakthrough to the Martial ascension realm.


    The true change lied after strengthening the soul. It was the courage to break upon the energy core and carve out the energy sea in the dantian. If something went wrong in this process, then the person in question may die in the worst case scenario.


    Many would cower to think of breaking apart their energy core but Zhan Chen was different. With the experience of his past life, he easily proceeded to step into the Martial ascension realm.


    His soul was already that of a sage. So, he didn''t have to think about the soul aspect. The only thing he needed to do was to break his core and form the energy sea at its ce.


    Zhan Chen cultivated for a while and made sure that he was in peak condition. He took a look at his core and with a thought of his mind, a tiny crack appeared on his core surface.


    The crack widened gradually and finally his core started to break apart. A huge amount of energy came out from his core and threatened to damage his dantian.


    Zhan Chen calmly wrapped his soul force around his core and made sure that energy remain confined to where the core was. Finally, his corepletely broke and only a huge amount of thick energy remained in the ce of his energy core.


    The next step was the most important step, to carve the energy sea in the dantian space. With a single thought of his mind, he connected with the space of his dantian. He pushed soul force towards it and a wide space opened up in his dantian.


    Zhan Chen let go of his soul restraint and pure energy flooded his energy sea. He applied soul force and the energy started to condense. Finally, the entire amount of energy condensed into few drops of liquid.


    Zhan Chen cultivated for a while and made sure that he condensed every strand of his energy into liquid form. There was still a wide space left in his energy sea even after it aodated all the energy contained inside his core.


    That was the basic difference between a Core condensation realm cultivator and a Martial ascension realm cultivator. A first stage Martial ascension realm cultivator hade multiple times of energy than a peak Core condensation realm expert. Their level was entirely different where a Martial ascension realm expert could easily overwhelm a Core condensation realm cultivator.


    Zhan Chen cultivated for a while. A small smile appeared on his face when he finally stopped cultivating. "Finally, in the Martial ascension realm. I wonder what extent of my soul force I can use now?", he murmured to himself with a smile stered on his face.


    He took a look at the distant Sabretooth tigers and a curious look appeared on his face. With a thought of his mind, a gigantic sword materialized infront of him.


    Heid his eyes on the Sabretooth tigers and the gigantic sword flew towards their location. There was a loud boom as it fell on the waiting Sabretooth tigers.

 Chapter 232 Back To The Rosewood Inn

    "This brat is really peculiar. Even I can''t see through his soul. There is a hidden secret inside him that is preventing me from looking inside", the creature in the ninth floor murmured to itself. There was a curious look on it''s face as it observed Zhan Chen with great interest.


    Zhan Chen stepped on the stone tform of the fourth floor and the stone tform lit up with multicoloured brilliance. A world full of white appeared infront of his eyes after he stepped foot on the fifth floor of the sky tower.


    Cold wind was blowing and there was a thick sheet of snow covering the entire ground. Zhan Chen observed his surrounding to find out the creature he was going to face in the fifth floor.


    He had to wait for a while when he finally got to see the magical beast of the fifth floor. It was a gigantic ice vulture who attacked him straight away after appearing infront of his eyes.


    It waved it''s ws and two energy shes crashed towards his body. Zhan Chen dodged it''s attack by back stepping and attacked it with his own energy sword.


    The ice vulture easily dodged Zhan Chen''s attack and flew towards him with a breathtaking speed. It opened its beak and shoot a icy gust towards Zhan Chen''s body.


    Zhan Chen hurriedly dodged it''s attack as a look of caution appeared in his eyes. A three inch thick ice sheet appeared in the ce where he was standing before.


    "I have very few encounters with icy creatures. I should take this opportunity and learn from this battle", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    ----------------


    "Why young master is noting yet?", Li Shu asked worriedly to Li Yan. There was a worried look on both Zhan Qingyue and Kai Min''s face.


    All of them needed to cultivate for a while but they could not properly concentrate due to their worry for Zhan Chen. The two Spirit pce cultivators felt pity for them and tried to console them. But their assurance had no use as the girls couldn''t feel relieved unless they Zhan Chen infront of their eyes.


    Where is that brat now? It has been half a day since he has entered the sky tower", a spirit pce cultivator looked towards hispanion.


    "Probably cultivating", hispanion replied with a not so sure tone. Both of them were talking casually when the stone tform lit up with bright radiance.


    "It is young master", Li Shu spoke cheerfully as two drops of tear came out from her eyes. Zhan Chen felt confused after seeing the teary eyed Li Shu.


    "What happened here? Why are you crying?", Zhan Chen asked Li Shu.


    "Young master, are you okay? Is there any injuries on your body?", Li Shu asked Zhan Chen.


    "No", Zhan Chen shook his head. He walked over and asked the girls about the injuries on their bodies. All of them described the challenges they face and Zhan Chen felt impressed that all of th did their best in the sky tower.


    "Let us go out. All of us still has two chances left in the sky tower", Zhan Chen spoke. All of the girls nodded their heads and came out with Zhan Chen.


    Lu Tai Cang was already waiting when Zhan Chen came out along with the girls. "How many of you are participating in tomorrow ''spetetion?", he looked towards Zhan Chen and the girls.


    "Only sister Yan and sister Min is participating. Big sis Qingyue and I will not participate in tomorrow''spetition", Li Shu replied.


    Lu Tai Cang nodded his head and called for a beast carraige. He looked towards Zhan Chen after the beast carraige started moving.


    "Zhan Chen, what about you? How far you have gone in the sky tower?"


    "I have climbed upto fourth floor", Zhan Chen replied. He chose not to disclose the fact that he had cleared the fifth floor of the sky tower before leaving the sky tower.


    "I know you would have gone to fourth floor. But reaching the floor and clearing the floor was two different level altogether", Lu Tai Cang spoke. He thought that Zhan Chen had reached the fourth floor but couldn''t clear it.


    Zhan Chen merely smiled and chose not to clear the misunderstanding of Lu Tai Cang. It was in his benefit if he chose to stay slightly low key.


    Clearing the fourth floor was almost impossible for a Core condensation realm cultivator. It was difficult even for the early Martial ascension realm experts. So, it was natural that Lu Tai Cang would think that way.


    Zhan Chen casually talked with Lu Tai Cang while the beast carraige was in its way to the Rosewood inn. Lu Tai Cang bid his farewell to everyone after they reached the inn.


    Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun came to wee all of them after they found out that Zhan Chen and the girls had returned. They inquired about their trials in the sky tower with enthusiastic looks on their faces.


    Li Yan, Li Shu, Kai Min bade their farewell to everyone after they replied to the questions of Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong. Zhan Qingyue also bade her farewell to Zhan Chen, Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun and went towards her room.


    Zhan Chen told Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun to wait for him and followed Zhan Qingyue to her room.<sub> </sub>


    "Ah! little Chen", Zhan Qingyue felt surprised when she turned her head to look behind. Zhan Chen pulled her into her room and directly nted his lips on her lips.


    Zhan Qingyue felt shocked for a moment and then hurriedly separated herself from Zhan Chen. She went to close the door and red towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little Chen, what are you doing? What if someone sees us?", she chided Zhan Chen with a red blush on her face.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the exasperated look on his big sis''s face. She was looking very charming with the deep red blush on her cheeks.


    "Big sis, it is a pity that you are injured. Otherwise...", Zhan Chen took a greedy look at Zhan Qingyue. Zhan Qingyue ''s blush deepened after seeing the heated look in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Little Chen, we can talk about itter. You should go and rest", she tried to avoid the eyes of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled her into his embrace and gave another gentle kiss on her lips. He squeezed her budding peaks for a few time before letting her go.


    "Big sis, good night", he spoke and left with a wide smile on his face. Zhan Qingyue stay rooted on the ce after Zhan Chen left her room.


    "Little Chen is being too boldtely. What should I do if he demand to do that with me?", Zhan Qingyue thought with red blush all over her face.


    Zhan Chen came to the main hall after bidding farewell to Zhan Qingyue. Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong were already there when he entered the main hall.


    "Zhan Chen, how is your journey to the sky tower go?", Sun Xiun asked.


    "It is good", Zhan Chen replied.


    "What are you both of the girls are doing when we are not in the inn?", Zhan Chen asked casually to both of them but he had not expected to see such a intense reaction after asking the question.


    Cheeks of both the Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong reddened after they heard Zhan Chen''s question. A surprised look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he looked at both of


    them meaningfully.


    "It is unexpected but I don''t mind it. Let me see it with my eyes what are you girls are practicing", Zhan Chen spoke.


    All three of them entered inside Sun Xiun ''room and clothes few off quickly. Both of them knelt down and struck their tongues to tend to the needs of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "You two seem to be expecting it. I have to do my best to meet your expectations tonight", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He started to move his waist after awhile as his dragon moved deep inside Sun Xiu Lan ''s throat. Sun Xiun mped her mouth on her own after Zhan Chen moved deep inside her throat.


    Zhan Chen let her go when she reached her tolerance level. He switched to Lin Xintong while Sun Xiun was gasping for breath.


    Both of them did their best to please him and it was a good experience for Zhan Chen. He asked them to do what they were doing while he was absent.


    He encouraged both of them and Lin Xintong was first to advance at Sun Xiun. Both of them kissed eachother and went on to lick eachother''s peaks.


    Desire lit up in Zhan Chen''s eyes after he saw the soul stirring scene infront of him. He told Sun Xiu Lan to lie down and let Lin Xintong use her mouth on her.


    While Lin Xintong was admiring the secret garden of Sun Xiu Lan, Zhan Chen had an uninterrupted view of her tantalizing back.


    She was moving her back unintentionally while licking Sun Xiun. Sun Xiun ''s desire also multiplied after she saw the heated look of Zhan Chen on her and Lin Xintong.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t wait any longer and pierced the cave of Lin Xintong with his sword. Sweet moans came out of both Lin Xintong and Sun Xiu Lan ''s mouths after Zhan Chen started his assault.


    ********


    It was a wonderful night and Zhan Chen had a satisfied look on his face when he opened his eyes in the morning.

 Chapter 233 The Day Of The Grand Sect Competition

    Zhan Chen stopped cultivating and looked around. He was feeling refreshed after few hours of cultivation.


    He spread his soul consciousness and found all the girls were still cultivating in their rooms. Even Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun were no exception as both of them were cultivating in Sun Xiun ''s room.


    "It is good to see both of them getting along well. This way I have less matters to worry. I only need to take care of improving their cultivation and they can take care of eachothers in my absence ", Zhan Chen thought to himself with a smile on his face.


    He stood up and stretched his body a little. Then he pushed his door and walked out.


    "I wonder what happened to Celestial night. I can feel it''s sword aura inside my body but it is impossible to find out where it is hiding", he pondered inside his mind while walking towards the main hall.


    "There is only one ce left in my body where I can''t look as I wish. It is the diagram world. I have to check it after this grand sectpetition is over", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind.


    Lu Tai Cang was already waiting when he entered the main hall. He turned to look towards Zhan Chen after feeling his presence near the entrance.


    "Good morning, senior", Zhan Chen greeted Lu Tai Cang.


    "Good morning. What is your n for the grand sectpetition?", Lu Tai Cang asked.


    "Senior, as you know I will have no problem in the first round of thepetetion. What I am really interested is in the second round of the grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Senior, can you exin some details about the grand sectpetition?", he requested Lu Tai Cang.


    "I am nning to do so in the first ce. Let''s wait for everyone to gather first. I will exin about the grand sectpetition while we are in our way", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and talked about some other matters with Lu Tai Cang. They didn''t have to wait longer as the girls started to show up one by one.


    First, it was Sun Xiun who finished her cultivation and came to the main hall. Others followed after her one by one.


    -------------


    The Grand sectpetetion would be held in a barrennd outside the Longyang city. There were ancient formations there which were activated only when it was the time for grand sectpetition.


    Grand sectpetition was a major event for the entire Norther desert continent cultivators. Forget about other benefits, just the temptation to be choosen by the top powers of the Centralnd attracts many cultivators to the grand sectpetition.


    There were total two stages in the Grand sectpetition. First one was for young cultivators who had yet to join any powers.


    Second stage or the final stage was for each and every cultivators of the Northern desert continent who were below twenty five years of age.


    The second stage was the most important one in the grand sectpetition because every power tried to showcase the talent of their younger generation infront of the crowd present.


    It proved whether a power was declining or arising infront of the crowd. As for the participation of top talents, it was assured with the allure of the prizes that the powerful sects were offering in each and every Grand sectpetition.<sub> </sub>


    There were joint rewards from the Xuantian sect, Heavenly sword sect and the Frozen cloud sect. Even the Spirit pce was offering separate awards for the winners of the Grand sectpetition.


    Li Shu gulped a little after hearing the description of Lu Tai Cang but it was a given that she wouldn''t be the winner of the Grand sectpetition.


    There was a yearning look on the face of Kai Min and Li Yan after they heard the words of Lu Tai Cang. As for Zhan Chen, he was not thinking about thepetetion. What he was truly interested in was the awards of the Grand sectpetition.


    "Young master Chen, look", Li Shu held the hand of Zhan Chen with a startled expression on her face. Zhan Chen looked towards where she was pointing and a slightly intrigued expression appeared on his face.


    "There are really too many cultivators", he murmured after seeing the sea of cultivators in a distance.


    Sun Xiu Lan and Lin Xintong also taken aback after they witnessed the grand spectacle in front of them. It was really an eye opener for all of the girls present on the flying treasure of Lu Tai Cang.


    "Look, it is a flying basilisk", Kai Min pulled Li Yan. Both of them looked at the fearsome magical beast with shock in their eyes.


    There were all sorts of magical beasts walking on the ground. There were also winged beasts who were flying along with different types of flying treasures in the sky.


    Lu Tai Cang felt amused after hearing the animated talk among the girls. He steered the flying treasure skillfully and led the group of Zhan Chen towards the location of the Grand sectpetition.


    "Here we are", he spoke after reaching at the designated destination. There were small hills surrounding a vast opennd. Lu Tai Cang lowered the flying treasure on top of a hill and helped the girls in deboarding the flying treasure.


    "Lu Tai Cang, it is unlike of you. Caretaker of a few milksucking youngsters! What a life for a Tribtion realm expert", a voice came out as soon as the group of Zhan Chennded on the top of a hill.


    Zhan Chen turned his head and found out a group of cultivators looking at them from a distance. The leading cultivator among them had a mocking look on his face as he looked towards Lu Tai Cang.


    "Elder Wei, please restrain yourself. Yor are not allowed to insult the sixth elder of my Lu family", a pleasant voice replied to the taunting voiceing from a distance.


    Zhan Chen looked around and found another group of cultivators walking towards them. There was a beautifuldy taking the lead amongst them. She had a firm look on her face as she looked towards the taunting cultivator.


    "Lu Tai Cang, are you kidding? You can''t speak for yourself. So, you are bringing in a young girl to talk on your behalf", the cultivator standing in a distance mocked once again.


    This time Lu Tai Cang frowned and and raised his head to look at the cultivator standing in a distance.


    "Beiming Wei, shut your stinking mouth. If you don''t do so, then I have to sew it on your behalf", he yelled with an irritated look on his face.


    Their banter stopped after the expert standing next to Beiming Wei intervened. Lu Tai Cang led everyone to a distance where he couldn''t see Beiming Wei.


    "Greetings, sixth elder", everyone including the beautifuldy greeted Lu Tai Cang.


    Lu Tai Cang raised his hand and told everyone to raise their heads. "Mingxi, he is the brat, grand elder was talking about. I have been busy in looking after their group", he spoke to the beautifuldy.

 Chapter 234 An Exciting Start

    "You are Zhan Chen?", the beautifuldy looked towards Zhan Chen with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.


    "Yes, mydy. It is my pleasure to meet a beauty like you in this ce", Zhan Chen replied in a straight face. Lu Tai Cang felt speechless after hearing the reply of Zhan Chen. "This brat!", his mouth twitched as he didn''t know what to do with Zhan Chen.


    Lu Mingxi stood stunned for a moment after hearing Zhan Chen''s reply. she had never thought that a young man like Zhan Chen would greet her in such a frivolous way.


    "Don''t you think you should greet me more politely", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "We should be polite to those whom we really respect. As for you mydy,. I have much adoration than respect", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Have you seen me before?", Lu Mingxi asked with a slightly confused look on her face. Zhan Chen shook his head in response to Lu Mingxi.


    "Then how can you tell that you adore me rather than respecting?", Lu Mingxi asked with a puzzled look in her face.


    "This brat is really something. I can only prey that Mingxi do not fall for his spohistry", Lu Tai Cang thought inside his mind. He took a look at Zhan Chen ''s group and saw verying expression on each of their faces.


    Zhan Qingyue was feeling amused that her little Chen was troubling a tribtion realm senior. Li Shu and Kai Min had a smile on their faces as they enjoyed the conversation of Zhan Chen. The only person who was feeling exasperated was Li Yan. "This jerk is at it again", she thought to herself with an irritated look on her face.


    Lu Mingxi didn''t realise when she started to have a conversation with Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had a natural charm where a girl couldn''t push him away easily. In her case, she had heard a lot about the prodigee from the Zhan n.


    Now that she had started inquiring about him, she didn''t realise how her little interest was turning into burning curiousity. She shifted her attention only after hearing the gasping sounding from the crowd nearby.


    "It is getting started finally", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after looking at the distance.


    The grand sectpetition was being held at the vast ground beneath the hills. There were five circr formations which were currently lit with bright light.


    The light signalled the activation of ancient formations. Everyone looked with bated breath as they wait for the five ancient formations to activatepletely.


    It took a while for the formations to activatepletely. Loud rumbling sound came from the ground and five huge stone tforms came out from the ces where the formations were located.


    "Whoa!"


    "Finally", crowd erupted into loud noise after seeing the full activation of the ancient formations.


    "What is that?", a cultivator from the Lu family pointed at the distant sky.


    A huge flower spaed disk wasing towards the grand sectpetition with a breathtaking speed. "Herees the Spirit pce cultivators", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    The flower shaped disk slowed down after approaching the surrounding hills. It crossed over a hill and stopped above the ground located in middle.


    Five cultivators stepped out from the flower shaped disk first. They stood in a ordered manner as they waited for the other cultivators to step out from the flying disk.


    "All of them are peak Tribtion realm experts", Zhan Chen muttered after taking a look at the five ctivators from the Spirit pce. Few momentster an amiable looking old man stepped out from the flower shaped disk. He didn''t have any imposing aura but a frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after seeing him.


    "A middle stage emperor", he murmured to himself and waited for the other cultivators of the Spirit pce to step out from the flower shaped disk.<sub> </sub>


    Few moments passed and finally the impatient crowd could see the appearance of remaining cultivators of the Spirit pce.


    Sound of gasps came from everywhere after they saw the appearance of remaining Spirit pce cultivators. They were a pair of sisters who walked out from the flying disk.


    Both of them were exquisite beauties with contrasting nature. The older looking one among them was wearing a female armour and was looking extremely valiant. The younger one was little shy as she took cover behind her sister and observed the crowd with curiousity in her eyes.


    "How is it possible? Two innate bodies at once. Moreover, the younger one has the heaven grade Wood spirit body", Zhan Chen thought to himself with surprise in his eyes.


    The crowd erupted in noise after seeing the two exquisite girls from the Spirit pce. Zhan Chen found out about theit identities after listening to the animated talk among the cultivators.


    The name of the older one is Chi Zhiqing while the name of younger one is Chi Shuying. Both of them were famous as the twin beauties of the Longyang city.


    Their identities were more eye-catching than their beauties because they were the only descendants of the pce master of the Spirit pce.


    "No wonder, they are being apained by an emperor", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    -----------------


    "Thanks everyone foring to the Grand sectpetition. As always, our Spirit pce will conduct the Grand sectpetition.


    We five will be the judge of preliminary rounds.


    Due to the huge number of cultivators, the first round will be the elimination rounds.


    Each battle tform can aodate hundred cultivators. Thus, five hundred cultivators can participate with each round ofpetetion.


    The rules are simple. It will be a chaotic fight among the cultivators. The battle will continue untill thest person left standing on each battle tform", one of peak Tribtion realm experts of the Spirit pce announced to the crowd.


    Young cultivators started to bee line towards the ground after the announcement was made. "Young master Chen, what should we do?", Kai Min asked Zhan Chen.


    "Wait for a while. Watch the first round and you can decide for yourself whether you want to join thepetition or not", Zhan Chen replied. He threw a look at Li Yan and she also nodded at him.


    Thispetetion is going to be bloody but it is a fair one. Cultivators need to stand out from the crowd if they want to catch the attention of the sects", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    It didn''t take time before the battle tforms were filled with cultivators. There were nock of enthusiastic cutivators who volunteer themselves for the first round of thepetetion.


    "No one is allowed to attack before receiving the signal. You will hear three beatings of spirit drum. Only after it, you can attack eachother", a judge of the peak Tribtion realm reminded thepetetors. His voice was infused with essence energy. So, every cultivator present in the surrounding heard his voice.


    Three huge drums brought to the middle of the ground by the Spirit pce cultivators. Three robust looking cultivators among them stepped out who were holding two hammers in both of their hands.


    With a signal from the judge, they downed their hammers and loud rumbling sounds reverberated in the air.


    Their coordination was good and the sound of three spirit drums suppressed each and every sound in the surrounding. Their third beating signalled the beginning of the grand sectpetition and the first round officially began.

 Chapter 235 First Round Of The Competetion

    Eager cultivators lunged towards eachother as soon as they heard the third beating of the Spirit drums. Blood sttered as the weak ones immediately got suppressed by the strong opponents.


    "Many of you have never killed a person but here, you have to strike. You need to eliminate others in order to survive in such situations", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    The Lu n cultivators nodded their heads and focused their eyes on the battle below. Li Shu, Kai Min, Li Yan and Zhan Qingyue were also very attentive as they observed the battle situation on the five tforms.


    On the contrary, Zhan Chen was busy in teasing Lu Mingxi. At present, he was observing her assets tantly infront of everyone of the Lu n.


    "Shameless!", Lu Mingxi blushed as she turned her head to look if anyone was observing such an embarassing situation. Lu Tai Cang pretended as if he had not seen anything and focused his eyes on the five battle tforms like other members of the Lu family.


    If it was anyone else, Lu Mingxi would have stabbed him already with her sword. But for some reason, she didn''t feel animosity towards Zhan Chen for gawking at her. Instead, she was feeling shy for some reason which was strange emotion for a resolute woman like her.


    She didn''t know that, Zhan Chen had a mysterious technique like the Soul seed technique. He didn''t have to do much yet he would enter the heart and mind of a girl on whom the Soul seed technique was used.


    The more the girl interacted with him, the more she would fall for him. Finally, she couldn''t do away with Zhan Chen no matter how much she tried.


    Zhan Chen was confident that he could make Lu Mingxi his woman without using Soul seed technique but pursuing a woman would take time. So, he used soul seed technique on her to she whether she had a favourable impression on him or not.


    If a woman didn''t have favourable impression towards him, she would easily negate the effect of Soul seed technique but if she had slightly favourable impression towards Zhan Chen, then the technique would be irresistible for her.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t you want to watch the battle?", Lu Mingxi asked shyly. Zhan Chen very much wanted to give a kiss on her charming face but he controlled her impulse forcefully.


    "I shouldn''t tease her anymore. Otherwise, it will be hard to calm my impulse", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Lady Mingxi, how far do you think I will go on thispetetion?", he asked to Lu Mingxi.


    "You will definitely perform good. I think you will be easily in the top ten of the first round", Lu Mingxi replied.


    "Can''t I be the first?", Zhan Chen looked at her.


    "It will be hard for you. There are few cultivators who are at Core condensation realm like you", Lu Mingxi replied.


    Lu Tai Cang wanted to smack Zhan Chen from the side because he was tricking Lu Mingxi taking advantage of her ignorance. But he was helpless himself as he didn''t know what to do with Zhan Chen.


    A crafty smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard Lu Mingxi''s reply. "What if I be first? We can make a bet about it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "A bet?", Lu Mingxi asked Zhan Chen with surprise in her eyes.


    "What is the condition?", she asked curiously.


    "If I lose, I will present a sixth grade spirit ingredient for you but if you lose, I need a favour from you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Mingxi, don''t agree to his conditions. Most probably, he will defeat all of his opponents in thispetetion", Lu Tai Cang spoke from the side.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen only smiled in response as he waited for Lu Mingxi ''s reply. "I agree", Lu Mingxi dered after slight hesitation as she didn''t want to refuse Zhan Chen for such a simple request.


    She threw an apologetic look towards Lu Tai Cang before looking at Zhan Chen. Lu Tai Cang felt frustrated for a moment and chose to ignore Zhan Chen and Lu Mingxi.


    Zhan Chen talked with Lu Mingxi for some more time. Then, together with her, he chose to look at the ongoing battles.


    It had been a while since the battles on the five rock tforms had started. There were only few cultivators left on the five rock tforms when Zhan Chen chose to take a look at them.


    ''The weakest one among them is a middle stage True essence realm cultivator. Rest are atte True essence realm. I wonder what will happen to this girl if shepetes alone'', Zhan Chen thought to himself as he took a look at Li Yan.


    The battle entered into its most crucial phase as few people remained on the stone tform. The truly talented ones started to show their uniqueness as they show their battle prowcess infront of the crowd.


    The most eye catching cultivator among the five stone tforms was a young man who was welding a long spear. He was brandishing his spear valiantly and most of his opponents were finding him difficult to handle.


    Another cultivator who was attracting the crowd''s attention was a whip wielding little beauty. Her attacks were unpredictable and she was using a swift movement technique toplement her unpredictability.


    "She is a Core condensation realm cultivator", Zhan Chen softlymented.


    "How can you tell?", Lu Mingxi asked with curiousity in her eyes. She was also a top expert but she couldn''t notice anything where she could tell that the whip wielding girl was a Core condensation realm cultivator.


    "She is concealing her cultivation but she can''t hide it for long", Zhan Chen replied.


    The Lu n young cultivators also heard Zhan Chen''s conversation with Lu Mingxi. They focused their eyes on the girl who was wielding a whip in her hand.


    They didn''t have to wait long as the girl was attacked by a sword wielding young man. The young man used some good sword techniques and troubled the little beauty who was wielding a whip in her hand.


    The little beauty tried to maintain her distance using movement technique but by coincidence the young man with the sword was also extremely swift. He kept attacking the girl and finally thrusted his sword towards the neck of the girl when he found an opening.


    It looked like an unavoidable attack to the crowd but the girl burst out with hidden strength. She moved backyard barely andunched a whip attack towards the young man.


    This attack of her was more swift and deadly than her previous attacks. The young man quickly fell into a defensive position and finally backed away to avoid the swift attacks of the girl.


    "She is a Core condensation realm cultivator!", collective gasps came from the crowd as they moved their eyes towards the whip wielding girl. She seemed younger than eighteen but she had managed to reach Core condensation realm at her tender age.


    Fervent looks appeared on various sect representatives as they looked at the girl with posessive look on their faces. They only wanted the first round to end somehow. So that, they could hurry over to lure the girl into their sects.


    Finding some good talents for their respective powers was the main purpose of many sect''s elders to attend the first round of grand sectpetition. Ate true essence realm cultivator at eighteen years age was an ideal candidate for every sect but whom they really wanted to recruit were those at the peak stage of True essence realm.


    As for those young cultivators who somehow managed to step into the Core condensation realm, they were like valuable treasures for every power in the Northern desert continent. Every sect fought over them jealously as such cultivators had a chance to reach the fabled Emperor realm in future.

 Chapter 236 Li Yan Enters The Battle

    "A below eighteen Core condensation realm girl! Really a rare find. I have to look into other powers'' offers to her, otherwise I will try to recruit her into our n", Lu Tai Cang softly spoke.


    A surprised look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard Lu Tai Cang ''s words. "A n generally focus on his own younger generation. Are you nning to bring an outsider and give her your best resources?", he asked.


    "Why not? She can''t be a core elder of our n but we can recruit her as a guest elder after she reach the Martial ascension realm", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    Zhan Chen felt speechless after hearing Lu Tai Cang ''s words. ''I have really underestimated these ns appetite for genuine talent. They can do anything if it means they are growing strong'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The first round eventually ended with five cultivators being selected from each stone tforms. Amotion instantly started among the experts in the surrounding after the first round in the stone tform concluded.


    Many experts flew down ward after they saw the young cultivators stepping out of the stone tform. They immediately approached the selected young cultivators after they came out of the battle ground.


    "Young man, how about joining my Fire spear sect. Our sect can make you a Core disciple right away if youe to our sect", an enthusiastic expert approached the young man who was using the long spear in the first round of thepetition.


    "Young man, don''t fall for old He''s words. They can''t give you much even if they try because of their sect''s condition. Come to my Violent sky sect. I promise the best treatment for you if join our sect", another expert chimed in from the side.


    Zhan Chen looked at the choatic situation in the ground and his mouth twitched. ''These old men are really shameless'', he thought to himself and took a look at Lu Tai Cang instinctively to see what he was doing. A stunned expression appeared on his face because Lu Tai Cang had already vanished from his side.


    Zhan Chen looked downward and saw him approaching the whip wielding girl with a smiling expression on his face. Even, Lu Mingxi found this embarassing when she saw what Lu Tai Cang was doing.


    Themotion finally ended after awhile. Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing the bitter look on Lu Tai Cang ''s face. "Senior Cang, what happened?", he asked him after after Lu Tai Cang returned to his side.


    "I have never thought that the old witch would personallye. The girl is taken by their Fragrant Lily sect", Lu Tai Cang spoke with a frustrated tone in his voice.


    "Fragrant Lily sect?", Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment. An idea struck Lu Tai Cang ''s mind after he saw that Zhan Chen taking notice of the Fragrant moon sect.


    "It is a sect of only females like the Frozen cloud sect but they arepletely different from eachother. Frozen cloud sect does not interact with outsiders much but the Fragrant Lily sect kept harassing other cultivators with the charming techniques on their hands.


    It is a tragedy for a male cultivator whoe in contact with them. All of them are witches who take advantage of a man''s vulnerability", Lu Tai Cang exined. He seemed to be advicing Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen could see the grudge of Lu Tai Cang towards the Fragrant lily sect after hearing his words.


    Lu Mingxi smiled softly after hearing the conversation between Zhan Chen and Lu Tai Cang. Zhan Chen, sixth elder is telling the truth. It is better for you to stay away from the cultivators of the Fragrant lily sect", she added from the side.


    ''Charming technique! Fragrant lily sect. How interesting. I have to see whether they have some suitable girls or not'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    <o>,m A smile appeared on Lu Tai Cang ''s face after he saw the interested look on Zhan Chen''s face. "Damn witch, let''s see if you will staycent or not if you face this little devil by my side", he thought to himself.<sub> </sub></o>


    Second round of thepetition started after a small gap of time. Li Yan stood up and took a look at Zhan Chen before stepping down the hill.


    "Good luck, Li Yan", Zhan Chen spoke from her behind after seeing her acting so resolutely. A worried look appeared on Li Shu and Kai Min''s faces after they saw Li Yan marching towards the five stone tforms.


    "Young master, is sister Yan going to be okay?", Li Shu asked Zhan Chen with deep concern on her face.


    "Don''t worry. She will be fine even if she got defeated", Zhan Chen spoke. The battle started immediately after the Spirit pce cultivators struck the drums thrice. A choatic battle once again started among the cultivators who were upying the five stone tforms.


    Li Yan drew her sword and looked at the surrounding cultivators cautiously. She didn''t get to observe much as she was attacked right away as soon as the third beating of the spirit drum was heard.


    Her attacker was also a girl who was wielding a sword like herself. Metallic sound came out as both of their swords collided.


    "I am Shi Xuejing. Let me know your name", the girl spoke before withdrawing her sword. Two young cultivators saw the girls talking. So, they charged towards them trying to finish them up.


    "Let''s first take care of them. Then, we can resume ours", Shi Xuejing spoke and charged towards an opponent. Li Yan shifted her gaze towards the other opponent and defended the attacking towards her.


    "ng", a sound came out as her sword collided with the battle axe, her opponent was using. The young man opponent to her had a menacing look on her face as she used some agressive axe techniques to corner Li Yan.


    No matter how skilled Li Yan was, she had no way around for such a barbaric and forceful manner of fighting. The young cultivator opposite to her, hacked at her fiercely and Li Yan had a difficult look on her face as she found it difficult to defend herself.


    The menacing looking young man suddenly felt something and halted his attacks. "Beauty, your luck is good", he spoke and backed away.


    Li Yan felt confused for a moment but her confusion cleared after she saw Shi Xuejinging towards her again.


    Shi Xuejing was holding a bloody sword in her hand as she walked towards Li Yan. She had a fierce look on her face and Li Yan felt a sudden chill in her spine when she looked towards Shi Xuejing.


    "The opponents she is facing has real battle experiences", Zhan Chen murmured after seeing the opponents of Li Yan.


    Shi Xuejing slightly calmed down after seeing the cautious look on Li Yan''s face. "Shall we start?", she asked and waited for Li Yan''s response.


    Li Yan nodded her head resolutely and took a position to battle with Shi Xuejing. Shi Xuejing didn''t speak further andunched a hacking sh at Li Yan.


    Li Yan replied by a shing attack of her own and a fierce battle ensured between the two as they kept attacking eachother.

 Chapter 237 The Message From Shi Xuejing

    "Li Yan, hear carefully. I am not here to fight with you rather I am here to give you a warning", Shi Xuejing spoke when she and Li Yan got into a close range fighting.


    "What?", Li Yan looked at Shi Xuejing with disbelief in her eyes. But there was nothing except sincerity in the eyes of Shi Xuejing as she looked towards Li Yan.


    "Listen carefully. I can''t fight you for long as their might be danger to my life as well. Quickly wrap up your battle and escape from the rock tform. Otherwise, there might be some grave danger to your life", Shi Xuejing spoke.


    Sheunched another sh at Li Yan after finishing up her words. Li Yan defended her attacks with a confused look on her face.


    Shi Xuejing wanted to speak few more things but her expression changed after she noticed something. "Li Yan, quickly escape", she spoke before escaping into the crowd of cultivators.


    Li Yan felt more confused and observed her surrounding to see if anything was wrong. She couldn''t discover anything but Zhan Chen''s expression changed who was keeping an eye on the ongoing battle.


    "Dodge", he could only say a word before a small axe came flying from Li Yan ''s back. Li Yan felt an instant danger and hurriedly turned her body towards the left. The axe flew past her arm leaving a small wound on her shoulder.


    Before she could think what was happening, a knife flew towards her from her left. It came from such a close range that Li Yan couldn''t do anything about it. The knife plunged into her chest and before she could react, another axe came flying from her back.


    "Bastard", Zhan Chen stood up abruptly from his ce as a chilling aura leaked out from his body. The Lu n cultivators shivered in fear as if they were facing a prehistoric beast.


    He used Cloud chasing steps and vanished from his ce. He stopped only after Lu Tai Cang chased after him and held him by his shoulder.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t be reckless. It is the Longyang city. Give me a moment. I will bring that girl for you", Lu Tai Cang spoke and released Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen still wanted to go but he calmed down after seeing Lu Tai Cang flying towards the battle field. "It is an assasination attempt on her. Who dare do such a thing?", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He could have easily observed everything with his soul consciousness but he didn''t do so because the presence of several emperors in the vicinity.


    Lu Tai Cang only spoke few lines to the judge and the judge took Li Yan out of the ring. The battle continued after a short pause but everyone ''s attention was on Lu Tai Cang ''s group.


    "Elder, what is happening here?", the eldest of the Chi sisters asked one of her Spirit pce elders.


    "First miss, it is the Lu n sixth elder. He intervened to save a girl from his side", the elder beside Chi Zhiqing replied to her.


    "What is elder He is doing? He could have easily stopped the elder of the Lu n", Chi Zhiqing knitted her eyebrows. For her, Lu n didn''t matter. What matter was the fact that thepetetion got intervened in mid way!


    "First miss, please let the matter rest. I don''t know what Lu n elder spoke to elder He but we shouldn''t do something right away", the elder spoke to Chi Zhiqing in a pleading tone. He was aware of the hot headedness of his first miss. So, he tried to downy the matter as much as possible.


    "Well,there is no need to do anything right now but our Spirit pce must get a exnation from the Lu n", Chi Zhiqing dered.


    She turned to look at the old man who hade out with her from the Spirit pce. "Grand uncle Wuhan, what do you think we should do?", she asked the old man who was standing on the hill like a stone statue.<sub> </sub>


    He was the emperor realm expert who hade along with both of the sisters to protect them in the Grand sectpetition. There was a distant look on his face when he heard the words of Chi Zhiqing.


    "Girl, don''t stirmotion about this issue. It is not his fault either. I will talk with him after today''spetetion is over", the old man replied to Chi Zhiqing.


    Chi Zhiqing nodded her head but a confused expression appeared on her face. "Grand uncle will personally visit the Lu n elder? What is happening here?", she thought to herself.


    She didn''t know that Lu Tai Cang had averted a crisis for the Spirit pce. If Zhan Chen was not stopped at that moment, then he would have killed fewpetetors right away before taking Li Yan and that would have caused hugemotion among the crowd present.


    The emperor beside Chi Zhiqing could understand as much. So, he decided to take the matter into his hand.


    ---------------


    The day''s battle stopped when evening arrived. There were still half of the culivators left who were yet to participate in the first round of thepetetion.


    "Tomorrow will be the final day for the first round of thepetetion. After that we will move to the final round which will go on for thest five days", one the five judges dered.


    The cultivators started to left one by one after the judge dered the end of the day. Chi Zhiqing and Chi Suying left with the emperor realm expert after the battle of the opening day concluded.


    The emperor realm expert apanied the Chi sisters to the Spirit pce and then flew back towards the city after saying good bye to both of them.


    His speed was amazing and it took him only few moments before he reached the Rosewood inn. Zhan Chen raised his head after noticing the emperor ''s presence in the sky above Rosewood inn.


    A surprised look appeared on the face of the emperor after he saw Zhan Chen raising his head. Zhan Chen was quick enough to pretend like nothing happened but it still left a doubt in Emperor ''s mind.


    "It most be a coincidence", he thought to himself after observing Zhan Chen for a while. He released his soul aura slightly so that the Lu n Tribtion realm expert could notice his presence.


    A startled look appeared on Lu Tai Cang ''s face after he noticed the soul aura of an emperor. He immediately left his room and flew towards the sky above the Rosewood inn.


    "Greetings senior, please ept the regards of this old man from the Lu n", he spoke to the emperor and bowed his head slightly to show respect.


    "No need of such formalities. I just need you to clear some doubts in my head", the emperor from the Spirit pce looked towards Lu Tai Cang amiably.


    "Senior, are you here to ask about today''s incident?", Lu Tai Cang asked the emperor.


    "Yes but I don''t need an exnation. What I need instead is some information about the young man down there", the emperor replied.

 Chapter 238 Battle Of The Second Day

    "Zhan Chen, I have yet to ask one thing. How can you have such a monstrous killing intent when you are merely an eighteen year old young man?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen after returning from the sky.


    The emperor was gone but his appearance was a true headache for Lu Tai Cang. So, he decided to confront Zhan Chen as soon as he came down to the ground.


    "Senior, you don''t necessarily have to kill to have such a killing intent like myself. Killing intent is more about what your heart desired at the very moment", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Brat, you are uttering nonsense. What might be hidden inside your heart that you have such a terrifying killing intent?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen shook his head and stayed silent. Lu Tai Cang didn''t know what to say anymore. So, he spoke Zhan Chen to rest and left towards his room.


    ''Today''s incident is more troublesome for the Lu n than I have imagined. I most repay them somehow for the support they are showing towards me'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He checked the surrounding with his soul consciousness once again before leaving towards the room where Li Yan was resting.


    Kai Min, Li Shu, Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun were inside the room where Li Yan was resting. They turned their heads towards the door when Zhan Chen entered inside.


    "Young master, what did elder Cang say?", Li Shu asked with concern in her eyes.


    "Nothing serious. Where is big sis?", Zhan Chen asked in return to her.


    "She is with us untill now. She has just left for her room", Sun Xiun added.


    "Well, Li Yan seems to be soundly asleep. You girls should go and take some rest. I am going to check on big sis", Zhan Chen spoke after taking a look at Li Yan.


    He left the room where Li Yan was resting and went towards Zhan Qingyue''s room. "She is feeling out of the ce here. I don''t know what I can do to make her morefortable", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Knock, knock", he wrapped his fingers on the door of Zhan Qingyue. After few moments, the door was unlocked and Zhan Qingyue came out.


    "Ahh! Little Chen, what are you doing here?", she asked with little surprise in her eyes. She was not expecting Zhan Chen to visit her at this moment.


    "Am I not wee?", Zhan Chen asked her with a smile on his face.


    "Little Chen, what are you saying? Come inside", Zhan Qingyue replied with a flustered look on her face.


    -----------------


    "Here she is", Zhan Chen murmured to himself with a smile on his face. It was early morning of the next day. Lu Mingxi hade to visit him alongwith other members of the Lu n.


    Zhan Chen stood up from his cultivation ce and walked towards the main hall. Lu Tai Cang had alreadye out to meet with Lu Minggxi and other cultivators of the Lu n.


    "Good morning,dy Mingxi", Zhan Chen greeted her with a smile on his face. A smile appeared on Lu Mingxi''s face after she heard the greetings of Zhan Chen.


    "Are you alright now?", she asked with a concerned look on her face.


    "There is no problem with me in the first ce", Zhan Chen replied.<sub> </sub>


    "But you scared me for a moment when you stood up yesterday", Lu Mingxi spoke. That chilling aura, she couldn''t beleive that Zhan Chen could emit such an aura.


    "Sorry for the inconveniences. Everything is alright now", Zhan Chen spoke to her with an apologetic look on his face. The Lu n cultivators looked at Zhan Chen with strange looks on their faces.


    "A person who acted so fierce turned cordial within the span of a single night. If that is not strange, then what is?", they thought inside their mind while observing Zhan Chen. The girls showed up one by one and together, they left for the ground of Grand sectpetition.


    Lu Tai Cang decided to stay back on request of Zhan Chen. Li Shu also stayed back along with Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun to look after Li Yan.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t be reckless today. Please talk to me before doing anything reckless", Lu Mingxi spoke while they were travelling in a flying treasure.


    "Don''t worry, I have no nning to give you any trouble", Zhan Chen replied. He kept talking with her while traveling to the ground of the Grand sectpetition.


    The ce was looking more crowded when they stepped out from the flying treasure. Some gazes came towards them when theynded on the hill top but they eventually looked away after observing them a little.


    There were more cultivators present on the nearby hills than the previous day. Everyone was waiting impatiently for the day of thepetetion to begin.


    A loudmotion went up when the cultivators spotted the flying disc from the Spirit pce. The judges stepped out from the flying disc and ordered thepetetion to begin.


    Young cultivators started to beeline towards the ground but Zhan Chen was not impatient. His eyes were on the crowd as he was searching for a certain person.


    The sound of Spirit drums reverberated and the battle of the second day officially began. Lu Mingxi turned to look towards Zhan Chen but he was not in his ce when she looked towards him.


    "Where is Zhan Chen?", Lu Mingxi looked towards Kai Min and Zhan Qingyue. Both of them shook their heads as they had not any idea about where Zhan Chen had gone.


    Lu Mingxi spread her soul consciousness but it was to no avail. She finally gave up with a worried look on her face.


    Zhan Chen was aware of Lu Mingxi''s attachment towards him. So, he decided to snuck out without informing her. His Target was a girl whose name was Shi Xuejing.


    With his soul prowess, it was easy for him to look through some recent memories of Li Yan. There, he found out about the girl named Shi Xuejing who gave warning to Li Yan before she got attacked.


    "Where is she?", Zhan Chen knitted his eyebrows as he couldn''t find Shi Xuejing among the crowd present. It would have been an easy task if he was to use his soul consciousness but he couldn''t do so in the presence of emperors.


    He was feeling a headache when an idea struck his mind. He chose few cultivators around him and made them his soul ves. He sent the appearance of Shi Xuejing into their minds and asked them to scour the nearby hills.


    He himself returned to the hill top where Lu n cultivators were present and sat beside Lu Mingxi as if nothing was happened.


    "Where were you?", Lu Mingxi asked him with a displeased look on her face.


    "Lady Mingxi, are you worried about me?", Zhan Chen asked her back with a smile on his face.


    A blush appeared on Lu Mingxi''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. "You are mistaken. Why would I worry about you?", she tried to refute the words of Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 239 An Insidious Plot

    "I will be back soon", Zhan Chen spoke to Lu Mingxi before moving away from the hill top. He flew towards a distant hill where his soul ve had located Shi Xuejing.


    "Second elder, what do you think? Will the Heavenly sword sect attack once again?", Shi Xuejing asked an old man by her side.


    "Probably yes but we should not involve ourselves with this any longer", the old man replied to Shi Xuejing.


    "Second elder, please let me go. It will be best if I will talk to Zhan Chen directly", Shi Xuejing spoke.


    "No, that would be too risky. You have already taken a huge risk yesterday. We can''t y with fire anymore.


    If by chance, the Heavenly sword sect got wind of it, our n will be doomed", the old man spoke to her in a hushed voice.


    "And what if no one catch the wind of it?", a voice interrupted them abruptly after the old man finished his words. Both Shi Xuejing and the old man beside her felt surprised and turned their heads. A dashing young man had appeared out of nowhere and looking at them with a calm look on his face.


    "Zhan Chen!", the elder sputtered out with a shocked look on his face.


    Shi Xuejing opened her mouth slightly and brought her hand infront of her mouth to express the surprise she was feeling at this moment.


    "Hello missy, thank you for your reminder yesterday", Zhan Chen shed a smile towards her. Then, he focused his eyes on the old man who was looking at him with deep shock in his eyes.


    "Zhan Chen, how did you manage to find us?", the old man asked with a vignt look on his face.


    "How I managed to find you is not important. What is important is your rtionship with Heavenly sword sect. Are they responsible for the yesterday ''s attempt on Li Yan''s life?", Zhan Chen looked towards the old man beside Shi Xuejing.


    The old man stuttered for a moment as he couldn''t give an immediate reply. A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw the reaction of both the old man and Shi Xuejing. "Well, there is no need to hear it from you. I can check the answer myself", Zhan Chen spoke.


    A glint appeared in his eyes and a nk look appeared on the face of the old man beside Shi Xuejing. Shi Xuejing didn''t understand what was happening as she looked at the strange behaviour of Zhan Chen and the second elder of her n.


    Zhan Chen smiled towards her before leaving the ce. The second elder of Shi Xuejing''s n stood nkly at his ce even after the departure of Zhan Chen.


    "Second elder, are you okay?", Shi Xuejing asked with a concerned look on her face.


    "What a monster! What is with his soul consciousness?", the elder muttered to himself as he looked towards the direction of Zhan Chen.


    "Second elder, what happened? Has Zhan Chen done something to you?", Shi Xuejing asked.


    "Nothing. He needed an exnation and I gave him that", the old man replied. He somehow managed to fool Shi Xuejing but the shock in his eyes didn''t fade even after the departure of Zhan Chen.


    "Elder, what should we do now?", Shi Xuejing asked.


    "Nothing, we only have to watch his performance in the grand sectpetition", the elder replied.


    --------------------


    ''Heavenly sword sect, Qiu Haitang, third elder of the Heavenly sword sect and finally Lu Wentian! He has yet to take any action but looks like this fiancee of his, the daughter of of the Heavenly sword sect''s sect master is taking action on his behalf.


    She is already warned about my origin. Yet, she is still trying exact her revenge on behalf of Lu Wentian. This time, she is targeting my women instead of targeting me.


    I can only wonder what a vengeful woman she must be. This kind of enemy should not live for long. I have to take care of her whenever there is a chance'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.<sub> </sub>


    "Can I borrow your sword?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Mingxi after returning to her side. Lu n cultivators looked at Zhan Chen with disbelief in their faces. They couldn''t beleive how casual Zhan Chen was bing with their most exceptional Tribtion realm expert!


    Their shock increased two fold when they saw Lu Mingxi handing over her sword without asking a single question to Zhan Chen. "Beauty, wait for me. I will definitely win with your sword in my hand", Zhan Chen spoke cheekily near the ears of Lu Mingxi and left the hill. Kai Min followed after him as they went down towards thepetetion ground.


    "He is such a sweet talker. But I have yet to see his battle skills", Lu Mingxi thought to himself as she focused her gaze on the five stone tforms.


    Zhan Chen and Kai Min entered with a new batch of cultivators and chose the middle of the stone tform. A smile appeared on his face when he saw some cultivators following him to the middle tform.


    "They most be here for Kai Min. I most receive them well and send a good message to their elders who are doing the bidding of the Heavenly sword sect", he thought to himself.


    Unknown to him, there were many eyes focused on him at this moment. The experts of the Centralnd wanted to see what the scion of Zhan n was capable of.


    Before it, every power had only heard the rumor of his extraordinary capabillities but the first round of the grand sectpetition was a chance for everyone to witness it themselves. Every expert wanted to see what the Zhan n descendant was capable of. Whether he was worthy of their attention or not.


    Like many experts, the Spirit pce experts were also keeping an eye on Zhan Chen. The emperor of the Spirit pce and the eldest of Chi sisters, both were keeping an eye on Zhan Chen''s action on the middle rock tform.


    The beating sound of three spirit drums reverberated in the air and battle started immediately. Zhan Chen stood calmly on his ce as he witnessed Kai Min ''s battle with another opponent.


    "Die", a tall cultivation saw Zhan Chen absentminded and swung his sword towards him. Zhan Chen easily parried his attack with his sword and send him flying with a single kick.


    He had no intention to kill youngpetetors who were participating to show their skills. So, he continued to send them flying without cutting them with his sword.


    While he was fighting his own battle, he purposefully made some distance from Kai Min. As expected, he noticed some suspected movement around her.


    "I only have to catch single one and I can find all of you", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    His figure blurred as he appeared infront of a suspect. Before the cultivator could do anything, he saw a swording towards him.


    Next what happened was only a blur for him as his consciousness faded. When he opened his eyes once again, he found himself lying on the rock tform with a wound on his chest.


    Zhan Chen was nowhere to be seen as he was moving towards the corner of the rock tform at this moment. A crook nosed cultivator was fighting there with an axe in his hand.


    He quickly gave up on his opponent when he saw Zhan Chening towards him. Then he tried to slip into the crowd while keeping an eye on Zhan Chen.


    A strange smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after seeing the cultivator escaping. He used the Cloud chasing steps and appeared infront of the cultivator.


    He stretched his hand and grabbed the cultivator by his neck. The cultivator wanted to attack but surprisingly, he couldn''t move his body when Zhan Chen looked at his eyes.


    "You are sent here to kill my woman, am I right?", he looked at the cultivator. The cultivator wanted to deny but fear appeared in his heart when he saw the look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    He nodded his head and his body swung downward. The surface of the rock tform was extremely hard and the cultivator three up blood when his body collided on the ground.


    Zhan Chen didn''t let him go even after swinging his body once. He lifted up his body once again and swung his body downward.


    The faces of the cultivator who were keeping an eye on Zhan Chen changed when they saw the attacks of Zhan Chen. "Devil!", they could only mutter to themselves as they saw the brutal attacks of Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 240 Mercy Towards An Assassin

    "Zhan Chen! What happened to him suddenly?", Lu Mingxi muttered with disbelief in her eyes. She couldn''t beleive that Zhan Chen would be so violent suddenly.


    "Little Chen has probably found the culprit of yesterday. Otherwise, he wouldn''t behave like this", Zhan Qingyue spoke. Lu Mingxi nodded her head in understanding after hearing Zhan Qingyue''s words.


    Zhan Chen let go of the cultivator after mming him twice on the ground. There was a certain calmness on his face which made him look more terrifying.


    "Zhiqing, this brat is really dangerous. Don''t go and mess with him in future", the emperor of the Spirit pce warned the eldest Chi sister.


    Chi Zhiqing knitted her eyebrows but still nodded her head. There was a deep curiousity in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen walked slowly amidst the fighting cultivators. Many cultivators around him gave way to him after seeing his ferocity.


    He was just nning to catch another assassin when his path was blocked by a smiling young man. "Brother, you seem to be strong. How about a match with me?", he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Can''t it wait? I am in a hurry now", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Of course. I will find you after a while", the smiling young man spoke. He moved away and saw Zhan Chen walking towards the center.


    "Zhan Chen of the Zhan n. I need to see for myself how strong you are", he thought to himself.


    "A Core condensation realm young man! Let''s see his prowess after taking care of these assasins", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He used Cloud chasing steps and appeared behind a seemingly ordinary looking girl. The girl was busy in fighting a young man with her sword. A frightened look appeared on her face after she saw Zhan Chen walking towards him.


    "How did you find me?", she asked Zhan Chen with disbelief in her eyes. Zhan Chen didn''t offer any answer and stretched his hand towards her head.


    "Crack", a sound of bone breaking came out and the lifeless body of the girl slumped to the ground. Zhan Chen didn''t stop there. He walked around to search for another assasin who was sent by the Heavenly sword sect.


    A cultivator came charging at him after finding him without weapon. He swung his thorny mace violently with an intention to take him down with a single blow.


    Zhan Chen dodged the attack swiftly and sent a kick towards the mace wielding cultivator. A cracking sound came from the chest of the cultivator as he flew away along with his mace.


    Somewhere in a distant hill, a cultivator was gazing at Zhan Chen with a poisonous look in his eyes. The look in his eyes changed when he saw Zhan Chen walking towards a certain cultivator.


    The cultivator in question was wielding a sword and observing the crowd with alertness in his eyes. The look on his face changed slightly after seeing Zhan Chen approaching from a distance.


    "Are you not nning to run?", Zhan Chen asked the cultivator.


    "There is no point. I will be dead either way", the cultivator replied. Zhan Chen nodded his head and took out his sword. The cultivator tried to parry his attacks but Zhan Chen didn''t give him too many chances. His third attack was a thrust towards the neck of the cultivator and the cultivator couldn''t offer a resistance to such an abrupt attack.


    He could only move his neck slightly as a deep wound appeared on the side of his neck. A look of hopelessness appeared in his eyes as he saw Zhan Chenunching another attack.


    "Sorry Xin''er, I have to disappoint you", he thought to himself as he waited for Zhan Chen''s sword to arrive. But to his surprise, the sword stopped midway and Zhan Chen turned to move away from the battlefield.


    "Wait. Why did you stop?", he asked Zhan Chen with disbelief in his eyes.<sub> </sub>


    "Tend to your wound. We will talk after the conclusion of the first round", Zhan Chen replied.


    The cultivator felt confused for a while but a decisive look appeared on his face at the next moment. He quickly moved towards the edge of the stone tform and jumped down.


    "No matter what I have to thank him for the mercy he has shown towards me", he thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen didn''t target any more cultivators and walked towards the middle of the stone tform. Kai Min was still fighting there with a cultivator of mid True essence realm.


    Zhan Chen watched their fight for a while but he had to intervene when Kai Min fell into aplete disadvantage. "You still need practice", Zhan Chen spoke to her after taking her away from the battle.


    "Do you still wish to continue?", he asked Kai Min.


    "No, I have fought a few battles and it is enough for me", Kai Min spoke. She bade her farewell to Zhan Chen and left the stone tform.


    The battle was alreadying to close as only thirty cultivators were left when Kai Min left the rock tform. The number of cultivators soon reduced to twenty as onlyte True essence realm and peak True essence realm cultivators left on the rock tform.


    Three cultivators came charging at Zhan Chen wishing to take him down together. Their attacks were coordinated and one could see that they must know eachother beforeing to the rock tform.


    Zhan Chen took out his sword and stood on his ce calmly. Heunched a half moon sh at thest moment which sted away the three attackers.


    He used Cloud chasing steps and followed the three sted cultivators. A horizontal sh came towards them when they had just stood up from the ground.


    Zhan Chen felt an eye on him when he had just finished taking care of the three cultivators. He turned his head and found the smiling cultivator from earlier looking towards him.


    "You cane challenge me now. Let''s see what trick you have in your sleeves", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, wait a while. I, Li Huanwu will definitely challenge you after I finish up the other cultivators", the smiling young man spoke.


    "So, you are from the nine superpowers, Li n. No wonder, you want to challenge me since the beginning", Zhan Chenmented with a smile.


    He watched the ongoing battle with a rxed expression on his face. For some strange reason, no cultivator came to bother him at thest moment. Everyone was busy fighting eachother and even Lu Huanwu was busy with fighting a sabre wielding young man.


    A young girl finally defeated her opponent andid her eyes on Zhan Chen. "Which n young master he is? I have never heard of him but he is so dazzling!", she thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the awestruck look on her face. "Little missy, do you wish to battle?", he asked the young girl.


    The girl was about to nod her head but a shout stopped her from approaching Zhan Chen. "Ying Ting, don''t fight him. He is Zhan Chen, the descendant of ancient Zhan n".


    "Another one who has heard about me", Zhan Chen thought to himself and turned to look at the speaker.

 Chapter 241 Li Huanwu

    The speaker was a girl with a warrior''s aura around her. She was wearing a tight leather robe which was highlighting her curves nicely.


    Zhan Chen shook his head after seeing the vignt look on her face. "A little beauty with a good fighting spirit. I wonder why she has such prejudice against me?", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Miss, I am just asking for a fight. It is not that I am going to harm her anyway", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then fight me instead. You are not allowed to harm little sister Ying Ting", the leather clothed girl looked towards Zhan Chen sternly.


    "Well then. I ept your proposal. Raise your weapon and show me your skills", Zhan Chen spoke with an amused look on his face.


    The leather robed girl felt anger after seeing the nonchnt attitude of Zhan Chen. She took few steps forward and charged towards Zhan Chen with her sword.


    Zhan Chen bent his back slightly and dodged her attack. Then he looked towards the leather robed girl with a smile on his face.


    "You attacks are quite sharp. It will be fun to fight with you but before that I wish to learn your name", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I am Hong Yixin. Bring out your sword or else don''t me me if you will get cut", she replied.


    "Fine. Let''s have a good fight", Zhan Chen spoke and took out Lu Mingxi''s sword from his spatial ring. A surprised look appeared on Hong Yixin ''s face after seeing his ring but she quickly calmed herself.


    She didn''t give him much time andunched a sword sh towards him. Zhan Chen swung his sword and blocked the attack of Hong Yixin.


    "ng", both of their swords collided as Hong Yixin chose to fight in close quarter. Sheunched multiple attacks but each of her attack got ockrd by Zhan Chen''s sword easily.


    Zhan Chen didn''t give any effort in his fight. He was just blocking her attacks at the most appropriate moment. A frustrated look appeared on Hong Yixin ''s face after she saw Zhan Chen being so calm andposed even after facing her multiple attacks.


    "Zhan Chen, why are you not attacking?", she asked with knitted eyebrows.


    "It will be no fun if I started attacking. It is better to face your attacks and see your skills", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You jerk, are you pitying me?", Hong Yixin red towards Zhan Chen fiercely.


    "Not at all. How can I show pity to a beauty like Miss Yixin! I have only admiration for your skills", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You.....!", Hong Yixin felt so much vexed that she didn''t know what to say. Frustration bubbled up in her heart as she looked towards the smiling look of Zhan Chen.


    "Miss Yixin, please calm down. I have no intention to anger you. What I want to say that you have great skills but you need to polish them slightly", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What do you mean?" Hong Yixin looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Concentrate more whileunching an attack. You have to look at your opponent''s eyes while attacking. Your sword should move automatically while you are attacking or defending. You do not have to purposefully swing your sword", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He demonstrated some moves for the Hong Yixin and realisation struck in Hong Yixin''s mind. She practiced few moves and a look of joy appeared on her face.


    "Thank you, Zhan Chen", she bowed her head slightly to show her gratefulness. She looked around and found very few cultivators remained on the stone tform.


    "I should go. Good bye Zhan Chen", She spoke and jumped down from the stone tform. She took a look at Zhan Chen before striding out of the battle field.<sub> </sub>


    "She has some talent in sword but mere agressiveness can''t take her anywhere. I have pointed out towards her major problem. Now, it is upto her if she can deduce something or not", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, you really have some skills. You manage to send the little devil of Hong family without getting a scratch on your body", a voice interrupted the thoughts of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen looked ahead and found Li Huanwu looking towards him. Another pair was fighting beside him but he had a non chnt attitude towards the warring pair.


    "Shall we start?", he asked Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and Li Huanwu walked towards his location with a spear on his hand.


    Compared to other cultivators, he was very calm as he stood before Zhan Chen. The eyes of various experts shifted to their location once they saw Li Huanwu standing before Zhan Chen.


    "Fifth elder, what do you think? Can our Huanwu beat Zhan Chen?", a cultivator askedthe old man standing on the peak of a hill.


    "Nothing can be said at this moment. Like Zhan Chen, our Huanwu is also an once in a generation talent. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have left cultivation ande with you all to see this year''s grand sectpetition", the old man replied.


    His gaze was on the below battleground where Li Huanwu was facing Zhan Chen.


    He spread his soul consciousness towards Zhan Chen and observed him from the distant hill. A surprised expression appeared on his face after few moments of observation.


    "This Zhan Chen brat is really peculiar. I can''t see through his cultivation even after trying my best", the old man murmureed.


    Zhan Chen looked towards Li Huanwu who was pointing his spear towards him. "Are you going to attack or not?", he asked with a bored expression on his face.


    Li Huanwu smiled slightly by his question. A serious expression appeared on his face as he tightened his grip around his spear.


    He stabbed his spear in the air with a lightning quick manner. His attack was too fast and even before the observed could react, two energy tips had appeared before Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen put his sword defensively infront of his body and the two energy attacks collided with his sword. He had to take a step backyard to stabilize his body.


    "Wind element! How interesting", he thought to himself and looked towards Li Huanwu. Li Huanwu put both of his hands on his spear and forcefully stabbed towards the air.


    A concentrated energy spear came out from his weapon and flew towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen swung his sword and an energy sh flew towards the the energy spear of Li Huanwu.


    "Boom", a sound came out after their attacks collided. Both of their attacks vanished after they collided with eachother.


    "Good sword skill", Li Huanwu praised. He swung his spear horizontally and charged towards Zhan Chen.


    A sharp whistling sh approached Zhan Chen while Li Huanwu was charging at him. Zhan Chen swung his sword downward to meet the attack of Li Huanwu.


    A vertical sh came out from his sword and collided with the sweeping sh of Li Huanwu. Another loud boom rang in the stone tform as Li Huanwu approached Zhan Chen with a breath taking speed.


    Zhan Chen took a step forward in response and swung his sword to meet the spear of Li Huanwu.


    "ng", metallic sound came out as the sword and spear collided. Both of them exchanged attacks in close quarter as Li Huanwu disyed his exquisite skills with his spear. Zhan Chen was matching him with skills but he was purposefully holding back because it would be too big a shock for everyone if he had to use his full strength.

 Chapter 242 Soul Imprint

    "Zhan Chen, I know you are holding back but I can''t me you for that. Face thisst attack of mine. If you are able to defend it, then I will admit defeat", Li Huanwu spoke.


    "Well, to be honest I am enjoying this fight. We can fightter if you want", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Thank you for your consideration. Now prepare yourself", Li Huanwu spoke. Gusts of wind came out of his body as he raised his spear.


    "Whirlwind dance of mighty spear", Li Huanwu shouted out and jumped into the air. A swirling rotating wind formed with Li Huanwu on the centre. Gusts of wind overwhelmed the otherpetetors as they found it hard to stand on the rock tform.


    The swirling wind get stronger with each passing moment and finally it approached Zhan Chen when it was at its peak.


    A worried look appeared on the faces of Lu Mingxi, Zhan Qingyue and Kai Min when they saw Li Huanwuunching such an attack towards Zhan Chen.


    Contrary to their worry, Zhan Chen remained calm. He tightened his grip around his sword and jumped into the air.


    He brought other hand forward and held the sword with both of his hand. Then he brought the sword over his head and swung downward.


    "Windbreaker sword", he softly murmured as a sharp long sh flew towards the swirling wind that Li Huanwu had created. This time there was no sound as both of their attacks collided.


    The onlookers stood stunned on their spots as the long sh of Zhan Chen cut a hole through the swirling wind of Li Huanwu.


    The swirling wind vanished and Li Huanwu tried to stood his ground infront of Zhan Chen with the help of his spear. "I lost", he spoke softly as a line of blood came out from the left corner of his mouth.


    "Practice well. You are always wee toe challenge me", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Huanwu nodded his head and walked out of the stone tform. There was no morepetetors when the fight between Zhan Chen and Li Huanwu concluded. All the remaining ones were blown out by the impact of Li Huanwu''s spear technique.


    "Zhan Chen, congrattion. You are the winner of this round", the judge spoke to Zhan Chen with admiration in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen bowed slightly towards the judge and walked out of the stone tform. Unlike other winners, no sect representative came to bother him right away. Everyone was in a shock after witnessing the powerful attacks of Li Huanwu and Zhan Chen.


    If Li Huanwu ''s attack blew their mind then Zhan Chen''s attack was even more incredible. They had never imagined such a powerful attacking from a Core condensation realm expert.


    Finally few sect representatives came out of their shock and approached Zhan Chen. "Young man, how about joining our Red cloud sect? We will make you a Core disciple right from the start", a sect representative spoke.


    "What is so great about a Core disciple? We promise to bestow a high level earth grade treasure if you join our Golden cauldron sect", another sect representative spoke as he looked fervently towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing the enthusiastic looks on the faces of various sect representatives. He cupped his hands and bowed his head slightly towards the gathered representatives of various sects.


    "Seniors, please listen me out. I am not nning to join any sect for the time being. I will consider it after the Grand sectpetition is over. For now, my entire focus in on the final round of thepetition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    ----------------


    "Lady Mingxi, I hope you have not forgotten our bet", Zhan Chen spoke after sitting beside Lu Mingxi.


    "Of course not, it is only a favour. There is no problem even if you manage to win the bet", Lu Mingxi spoke. Zhan Chen smiled after listening her response and looked towards the battle field.


    Another group of cultivators walked towards the stone tform and thepetetion resumed. Kai Min and Zhan Qingyue were watching thepetetion with interest in their eyes but Zhan Chen was feeling bored.<sub> </sub>


    He teased Lu Mingxi time to time and her blushing face lightened up his mood somehow. It was only in early afternoon when he finally rxed because the judge announced the end of the elimination rounds.


    "Now, I want all the selectedpetetors of the first round to gather here. We will announce the ultimate winner among them after seeing their performance on the stage", the judge announced.


    "Zhan Chen, you rogue! Can''t you ask for any other thing except that", Lu Mingxi red at Zhan Chen who was teasing her since the beginning of today''spetetion.


    "It is your wish whether to agree or not. But I don''t need anything else from you except the favour I asked for", Zhan Chen spoke with a meaningful smile on his face.


    "Well then,dy Mingxi, good bye for now. I will see you again after winning thispetetion", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He threw a look at Zhan Qingyue and Kai Min before descending down the hill. Thepetetion to decide the ultimate winner began when all the selectedpetetors gathered around the stone tforms.


    There were total thirty cultivators who were selected from various rounds ofpetetion. The judges divided them in the groups of six and battle began once again on top of the five rock tforms.


    "Is there no one who can defeat him? How am I suppose to do that with a young man like him?", Lu Mingxi thought to herself with reddened cheeks.


    She looked towards the battle ground absentmindedly where Zhan Chen was standing calmly amidst the other fivepetetors.


    The beating of the Spirit drums echoed and the battle for the ultimate winner began. A cultivator pulled out twin daggers from his waist and charged towards Zhan Chen''s location.


    "Zhan Chen, let me see your skills. You may have better technique than me but I will not be defeated easily If we fight in close quarters", the cultivator spoke.


    Zhan Chen took out his sword in response and looked towards the cultivator who was holding twin daggers in his hand.


    "ng!", metallic sound came as a stabbing attack from the cultivator stopped by Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen thrusted his sword and the cultivator had to step back in order to protect himself.


    Zhan Chen took a step forward and thrusted his sword again. The cultivator avoided his sword unexpectedly and swung his dagger towards Zhan Chen''s throat.


    Zhan Chen pulled back his hand to stop his attack and a look of interest appeared in his eyes. The cultivator was also taken aback after seeing Zhan Chen blocking his battle proven skills.


    He used a strange movement technique and withdrew himself from Zhan Chen''s range. Some shadow like figures appeared as he charged towards Zhan Chen.


    "ng", another metallic sound came as Zhan Chen stopped the cultivators from stabbing his chest. There was a bewildered look on his face as he observed the cultivator infront of him in detail.


    "What a surprise! There is seal on this man''s cultivation. No wonder, he is using battle technique iques suitable for a True essence realm cultivator", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The cultivator tried few more times but his lethal attacks proved futile infront of Zhan Chen''s stern defence.


    Zhan Chen was nning to talk with the strange cultivator but he did something unexpected. He used his strange movement technique and approached the edge of the stone tform.


    "Zhan Chen, we will meet again", he spoke and jumped down from the stone tform. A sigh of relief came from his mouth after he left the battle field.


    He thought he had shook off Zhan Chen but he didn''t notice the smile on Zhan Chen''s face when he escaped. There was an invisible soul mark on his body now which would lead Zhan Chen towards his location.

 Chapter 243 Winner Of The First Round

    The other fights remained uneventful as Zhan Chen easily overcame the challenges of other cultivators.


    One of the judge instructed him to move to the middle stone tform where another two winners were already waiting. Battle started amidst them when all the five winners gathered in the centermost stone tform.


    To Zhan Chen''s surprise, no one came to challenge him after the battle had started. He had to wait for a while untill the battle between the other four cultivators concluded.


    The winner were two girls who managed to defeat their opponents. Both of their gazes went towards Zhan Chen after they finished their battles.


    "Please don''t fight among eachother. Both of you can take out your weapons and attack me instead. I promise it will be rather fun than fighting one by one", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Hmph! How arrogant. Let me see what you have got to boast like this", a girl sneered. She swung her whip towards Zhan Chen after Zhan Chen stopped speaking.


    Zhan Chen had no interest in dragging the battle. So, he unarmed her quickly and looked towards the other girl.


    "Young master Zhan Chen, it is a pleasure to meet with you. Now please excuse me, I have no interest in fighting with you", the other girl spoke.


    Zhan Chen looked at her in puzzlement as she bowed her head slightly and left the stone tform in a graceful manner. The other girl also threw a resentment look towards Zhan Chen and jumped down from the stone tform.


    A loud cheer erupted from the crowd after Zhan Chen was announced as the winner. The judges made some more announcents and thepetetion finally stopped for that day.


    "How is she?", Zhan Chen asked in concern after returning to the Rosewood inn. Li Yan was still sleeping peacefully and by her side there were Li Shu, Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun.


    "Brat, what is the result of today''spetetion?", Lu Tai Kang came inside and asked Zhan Chen.


    "Well, you must have known the oue already. I barely faces any challenge except a strange cultivator with daggers and Li Huanwu", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Li Huanwu, he is talented but you are more than that. You must have hidden some of your abilities to fool the watching cultivators", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    Zhan Chen merely smiled and didn''t speak anymore about thepetetion. Instead, he asked about another matter to Li Tai Cang.


    "Senior, I have yet to see imperial family in the Grand sectpetition. Moreover, several of the super powers are yet toe. Are they not going to join the Grand sectpetetion?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "No need to think about it. You will know automatically after seeing tomorrow ''spetetion. Let me warn you about something. Never underestimate the final rounds of Grand sectpetition, it is where the truly talented ones of every power gather.


    If a sect or n fails to perform, then it may adversely impact their reputation. So, everyone will do their best in the Grand sectpetition", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "There are also other experts of my n areing. Watch out. Some of them may not act as you wish", Lu Tai Cang warned before going out of the room.


    "Interesting. There are no trouble unless I face a mid emperor stage expert. Let me see what is the gathering of experts in the Northern desert continent look like", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He spread his soul conscious and wanted to see what his elder sister was doing. A sour look appeared on his face after he saw her cultivating. "Forget it, I can see her another time. Now I have another thing to look after any way", Zhan Chen thought with a smile on his face.


    ----------------


    Lu Mingxi was lying on her bed with her face towards the window of her room. Moonlight was falling on her bed, highlighting the alluring curves hidden beneath her robe.


    She tried to cultivate but her attempt was futile. She couldn''t concentrate for even few minutes as a picture of a certain person would alway appear inside her mind.


    "How can I think of him? He is such a young man. It will be embarassing if anybody finds about my thoughts", she thought to herself.<sub> </sub>


    Moreover, that favour he was speaking of. Is he joking or is he serious? If he is joking, it will be less embarassing but if he asks for it, then I don''t know what to do.


    "A kiss on his lips! What is he even thinking? What should ai do?", Lu Mingxi thought to herself as a blush unknowingly appeared on her face.


    "Lady Mingxi, you are looking beautiful", a voice disturbed her thoughts as she turned her head with a startled expression. The smiling face Zhan Chen came infront of her eyes after she turned her head.


    "Zhan Chen! How is this possible?", she sat up immediately with shock all over her face. She looked once again to check the truth unless she had hallucination in the night.


    "Mingxi, it is me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What? You are calling me Mingxi?", Lu Mingxi asked with surprise on her face.


    "Don''t you like it?", Zhan Chen asked her while looking at her eyes.


    "You can but only in private", Lu Mingxi nodded her head with a blush on her face. She found it hard to deny Zhan Chen whilehe was looking at her face. Moreover, for some strange reason she wanted Zhan Chen to call her Mingxi once again.


    "How did you enter? There are formations all over the inn?", Lu Mingxi asked while avoiding Zhan Chen''s gaze. She was trying to divert the topic as it was very strainful for her heart of Zhan Chen continued to look like this.


    I have my own way. Moreover, I would have missed the beautiful picture if I would havee informing you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What picture?", Lu Mingxi inquired.


    "It is the beautiful picture of a goddess sleeping in the moonlight", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lu Mingxi blushed hard after hearing the reply from Zhan Chen. Her heart fluttered as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Both of their eyes met and Lu Mingxi could see desire of Zhan Chen for her from his eyes. Zhan Chen slowly walked towards her and approached the bed.


    He stretched his hand and pulled her gently out of the bed. He grabbed both of jade white hands with hands and wrapped his fingers around his palm. Now she had no option other than looking at Zhan Chen.


    "Remember our promise. You have to do it yourself", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But that would be....?", Lu Mingxi felt conflicted for a moment but her resistance broke up after she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Okay, I will do it", she spoke and brought her face towards Zhan Chen.


    She brought her red lips towards the face of Zhan Chen and tried to give a peck on it. A special feeling rose in her heart when she touched Zhan Chen''s lips.


    She tried to move away but it was impossible. No men would let go of such a beauty after tasting the soft lips of such a beauty.


    Zhan Chen took her lips with his lips and licked it gently. Lu Mingxi''s mind went nk as she let Zhan Chen as he pleased.


    Zhan Chen let her go after few moments but there was a look of desire on Lu Mingxi''s face. No words needed as both of their lips connected with each other once again.


    This time Lu Mingxi tried to respond unconsciously as Zhan Chen tasted the softness of her red lips skillfully. He craftly parted her mouth and pushed his tongue inside Lu Mingxi''s mouth.


    Her soft tongue got captured by Zhan Chen''s own as both of them relished the special feelinging from their bond. Lu Mingxi didn''t want to let go of such feeling. So, she tried to move her tongue to match Zhan Chen''s.

 Chapter 244 A Night With The Beauty

    Zhan Chen moved his hand behind her back and gently squeezed the perky flesh below her waist. A shock wave ran down her body as Zhan Chen grabbed her perky back.


    Zhan Chen continued kissing her while groping her back as he pleased. Lu Mingxi felt like something bubbling up in her secret garden as Zhan Chen continued his assault with his hand and lips.


    "Zhan Chen, we should stop. I didn''t know what would happen if we do not stop here", Lu Mingxi pleaded after managing to pull back herself from Zhan Chen''s grab.


    Zhan Chen didn''t say anything immediately and gave her a light kiss on her lips. He looked towards her and asked, "Mingxi, do you like me?"


    Li Mingxi nodded her head as she couldn''t deny her feeling for him. "Then what is stopping you? Why can''t we be together even though both of us like eachother?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Because you are so young and I am more than fifty already. What will others think if theye to know about us?", Lu Mingxi spoke as her eyes moistened.


    "I don''t care about others. The only thing I want to know is whether you like me", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Mingxi. She nodded her head again as tear drops bubbled up in her eyes.


    "Then Mingxi be my woman. Our rtionship will remain a secret unless you want to share it with others", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lu Mingxi looked at Zhan Chen''s eyes for a while and finally nodded her head. Zhan Chen reached his hand and pulled her into his embrace.


    He nted a deep kiss on her lips and princess carried her to the bed. A passionate kiss ured once again and after that Zhan Chen moved his mouth towards her neck.


    "What an adorable girl", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he saw Lu Mingxi closing her eyes. She had a gentle and mild nature and her nature remained same even in the bed.


    "Mingxi, you are so beautiful with your clothes on. I wonder what surprise you will bring to me after I take down your clothes ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lu Mingxi blushed and looked towards Zhan Chen with her charming eyes. Zhan Chen pulled her from her lying position and asked her to remove her clothes.


    She was too shy to undress infront of him. So, Zhan Chen had to intervene. A mesmerizing figure with high mountain and t valley appeared infront of him after he took down her clothes.


    She still had her undergarments on but Zhan Chen was finding it hard to control himself after seeing the beautiful figure infront of him.


    An audible sound came from his mouth as he gulped his saliva and stretched his hand to remove her upper garment.


    Two beautiful white mountains came out as soon as as Zhan Chen removed her upper garments. Lu Mingxi tried to cover them with her hand but hand was too small to cover her enormous assets.


    "Mingxi, what a surprise! I have never thought that you will be hiding such treasures behind your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Her mountains were over proportionalpared to her slim figure. Moreover, their shape was upright which exactly attracted his attention.


    He moved his mouth towards her mountain and took a bite out of it. A milky soft feeling came to his mouth as he nibbles on her soft peaks.


    His other hand didn''t stay idle as he sent it towards her lower domain. A wet feeling came to his fingers after he inserted them inside her undergarments.


    ---------------


    "Ah~ Ah~ Ahnnhh~", Lu Mingxi moaned as Zhan Chen continued to pound her from her back. Meat pping sound reverberated in the air as both of their thighs joined rhythmically.<sub> </sub>


    Lu Mingxi finally couldn''t controll herself after Zhan Chen pounded her fifteen minutes in a raw. A guhing stream came out from her sacred garden which drenched the fierce dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Mingxi, can you use your mouth on it?", Zhan Chen asked. Lu Mingxi nodded her head sighly and brought her mouth towards Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    She started neither first nor slow but it felt incrediy satisfying to Zhan Chen. Her inexperienced mouth was a great joy for Zhan Chen''s dragon as it enjoyed the great care Lu Mingxi was providing.


    Zhan Chen let her continue for a while and then pushed her mouth towards his dragon. A huge amount of yang essence came out from his dragon and pained the mouth of Lu Mingxi white.


    "Take some rest. We will continue after I finish my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You still wish to continue?", Lu Mingxi looked towards Zhan Chen with a startled expression on her face.


    "Of course I am. It would be lose if I don''t do anything after having a beauty like you by my side", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He sat down cross legged and closed his eyes. Lu Mingxi blushed hard after hearing the reply of Zhan Chen. "He is still thinking about it. It meant I have to do those shameful positions again. How embarassing!", she thought to herself.


    She put on her clothes and looked towards Zhan Chen as he started his cultivation.


    Zhan Chen''s face was calm and serene. He was circting the Celestial Yinyang sutra and there was gradual increase in his cultivation.


    The divine yinyang diagram on his dantian was as miraculous as always. It started to release thick strands of essence energy after absorbing the primordial yin essence of Lu Mingxi.


    Zhan Chen condensed the thick strands of essence energy with his soul force and few droplets of energy added up inside his energy sea.


    His energy sea was already brimming full with enenergy droplets after he fought with the ice vultures in the fifth floor of the Sky tower. Now, with the addition from Lu Mingxi''s primordial yin essence, it threatened to spill over.


    Zhan Chen knew it was an opportunity. So, he wrapped his soul force around the boundary of his energy sea and gave it a push.


    There was little resistance as the energy sea widened again and the flooding energy sea settled down after the widening of it''s illusory area in Zhan Chen''s dantian.


    "Second stage of Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen thought to himself as a smile appeared on his face. He didn''t open his eyes immediately and continued to cultivate.


    Unlike the need of polishing the core in the Core condensation realm, there was no suchplexity in the Martial ascension realm. One just need a huge amount of energy to feel in his energy sea and advance to the next stage of Martial ascension realm.


    There was also the need for soul improvement if one needed to push his cultivation forward in the Martial ascension realm. Zhan Chen ''s soul was already beyond Martial ascension realm. So, he had no such problem to worry about.


    He operated the Celestial yin yang sutra for a while and opened his eyes with a rxed look on his face. A smile appeared on his face after he saw Lu Mingxi looking towards him.


    "Zhan Chen, how is your cultivation?", Lu Mingxi asked after seeing him opening his eyes.


    "It is good. I have managed to improve my cultivation thanks to your help this time", Zhan Chen replied.

 Chapter 245 Nefarious Energy

    "Ah~ Ah~Ahhnn~", Lu Mingxi moaned as Zhan Chen made her ride his dragon. Her glorious mountains were bouncing nicely as she moved her waist atop Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    The sliding of Zhan Chen''s spear was an otherworldly experience for her. Her cave was throughly prated with the movement of her waist.


    She continued to move her waist as her mind got clouded by the Heavenly pleasure. She finally stopped when she felt something gushing out of her cave.


    "Mmmm~", she moaned in ecstasy afterlettling out her sacred water. A feeling rxation and sheer joy came to her mind as sheid atop the body of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, thank you. I have never thought this would feel so amazing", Lu Mingxi spoke. Zhan Chen pulled her head for a kiss as his little brother twitched inside Lu Mingxi''s cave.


    "Mingxi, change your position. Let me clean your garden while you tend to my little brother", Zhan Chen spoke. Lu Mingxi didn''t understand what he was implying immediately.


    But his action made her understand what he actually meant. Her cheeks reddened immediately after she found out what Zhan Chen was about to do. She didn''t get much time to think as her sacred garden invaded by Zhan Chen''s tongue.


    "Ahh~", Lu Mingxi moaned as her waist moved atop Zhan Chen''s mouth. She brought her mouth towards Zhan Chen''s dragon unwilling to be outdone by Zhan Chen.


    "Slurp! Slurp", the unusual sound came out as she throughly cleaned the dragon of Zhan Chen. The movement of her tongue from bottom to top was a good enjoyment from Zhan Chen.


    Lu Mingxi became ready once again after receiving the stimulus from Zhan Chen. Her cultivation was really helping her now as she could tolerate the tumultuous waves of Zhan Chen''s assault.


    Zhan Chen didn''t go for coption immediately. He turned her body and made her sleep on her back. He brought his dragon near her mouth and said her to took it in.


    He started to move his waist after she took in his dragon inside her mouth. It was a stimting experience for him as he pounded her mouth with his dragon.


    It was a sphemous action against a beauty like Lu Mingxi. Yet it was the exact reason which pushed Zhan Chen to do it. The look on her face while she was moving her cheeks was a different picture altogether.


    Zhan Chen finally pulled out his dragon after Lu Mingxi reached her limit. He expected her to protest but to his surprise, she took in his dragon again.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist once more as he pounded her mouth. A strand of iprehensible energy gathered in the surrounding as Zhan Chen continued to do his sphemous act.


    It didn''t affect him much but if affected Lu Mingxi. She became more weing towards such deviant acts after being influenced by this energy.


    "So, this is nefarious energy. One need tomit such deviant acts to gather it. It can easily suppress a woman''s mind and made her submissive in no time", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The methods of the devil emperor were incredibly profound and Zhan Chen was still saluting him in admiration after discovering the profounness of his techniques.


    Lu Mingxi moved on her own after Zhan Chen stopped moving his waist. He raised her head up and down and swallowed the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    ''This energy is generating on it''s own. One need to do something deviant to awaken it. Most of the cultivators didn''t know about it''s existence but I can control it by the ''Spiritual sealing technique''.


    ''But for that I need to form the seal first. Untill then I can''t control the influence of this energy on opposite genders", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He pulled out his dragon from Lu Mingxi''s mouth and took a look at her face. The gentle beauty now had a craving look on her face as she looked pleadingly towards Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    "Forgive me Mingxi, it happened even before I realise it. My curiosity led to its generation and you are affected now", he spoke to Lu Mingxi.


    She was not in a position to listen to his rification as she looked towards Zhan Chen''s dragon with greedy eyes. Zhan Chen had to give in to her demand as it was the only method to decrease the influence of nefarious energy.


    Dissatisfaction may lead to furtherplications. So, the only usible way was to give in to lust and vent it untill it waspleted subsided.


    "Mingxi, it should be enough for now. Stand in your four and let me see your back", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lu Mingxi obediently did as she said and showed her voluptuous buttocks to Zhan Chen. She ced two of her palms ross her buttocks and exposed the valley inside them to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t resist her tempting invitation as he stabbed his dragon towards her sacred garden. Fierce pounding followed after that and a look of enjoyment appeared on Lu Mingxi''s face as she got ravaged.


    "Pah!", Zhan Chen could not beleive her reaction after hitting her buttocks once. He continued to p her buttocks while prating her sacred garden from behind.


    The nefarious energy seeped into his body slowly and took shape of a faint circr symbol by the time he removed his dragon from the sacred cave of Lu Mingxi.


    A look of rity appeared in her eyes after the nefarious energy got sucked by Zhan Chen''s seal. She red towards Zhan Chen after recalling what was happening with her while she was not in control.


    "Mingxi, I am sorry. I got carried away and have to do that after putting you in such condition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lu Mingxi red at Zhan Chen for a while and then a gentle look appeared on her face. "Why are you aplogizing. It was not a bad memory. I could never think of such things but thanks to the weird incident, I manage to know how it feel like when you didn''t restrain yourself ", Lu Mingxi spoke.


    "Now bring it towards me. I have never known you will enjoy it so much if I do it with my mouth", Lu Mingxi spoke.


    Zhan Chen became dumbfounded for a moment then a fire lit up inside his mind. The inviting pose of Lu Mingxi was so mesmerizing that he could not resist her temptation.


    He brought his dragon towards her mouth and she took it in. This time she was swallowing it willingly as she took pride in the enjoying look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t resist his urge after seeing her doing it willingly. He moved his waist and finally deposited a huge amount of yang essence inside her mouth.


    *It has a good taste", Lu Mingxi spoke after swallowing in the yang essence of Zhan Chen. She was feeling sore all over her body but she still wanted Zhan Chen to do it once again where she could enjoy the feeling of unrestrained coption with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could see her desire. So, he gave her a massage to rx her a bit. Lu Mingxi stood on her four on her own and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disappoint her and gave her a deep stab. A look of enjoyment nappeared on her face as Zhan Chen''s dragon touched her womb with a single thrust.


    Zhan Chen movedparatively slow at first but gradually fastened his speed after seeing the enjoying look on her face.


    The rapid thrusts clouded the mind of Lu Mingxipletely as she could only moan loudly. It had been only few minutes since they had started their coption but she was already at her limit after receiving the wild assault of Zhan Chen.


    She finally gave in when she received a deep thrust from Zhan Chen''s dragon. A stream of holy water came out of her cave and she fell down t pressing her breasts on the bed.

 Chapter 246 The Incident With The Shen Clan

    Li Yan found Zhan Chen looking at her when she opened her eyes next day morning. Li Shu, Kai Min and Zhan Qingyue were also there when she opened her eyes.


    She looked nkly towards everyone for a while. Then two drops of tear came out from her eyes moistening her cheeks.


    "I thought I am done for", she spoke with a nk look on her face.


    "Big sis Yan", Li Shu came over and cried her heart out. Kai Min also couldn''t control her tear after seeing Li Yan opening her eyes.


    "How did I survive?", she asked Li Shu after a while. Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen and recounted the events of that day briefly.


    Aplicated look appeared on her face after she heard what happened that day. She was adamant on fighting on her own because she didn''t want to take help of Zhan Chen in finding a sect.


    But the reality was cruel. She wouldn''t have survived thepetetion if it was not for Zhan Chen''s interference.


    "Zhan Chen, what should I say to you? Mere thanks is not enough for expressing my thoughts", Li Yan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No need to think much. It is great that you have survived. You still need to rest. We will talkter after you recuperatepletely ", Zhan Chen replied her with a gentle look on his face.


    Li Yan nodded her head and stayed silent. Li Shu stayed back with her and others followed Zhan Chen out of the room.


    "Zhan Chen, someone is here to see you", Lu Tai Cang spoke when Zhan Chen entered the main hall.


    "Oh, who is it?", Zhan Chen asked and entered inside the main hall. There was an old expert sitting beside Lu Tai Cang. He had a curious look on his face as he looked at Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed slightly towards the old expert.


    "You are indeed an interesting young man. I am nning to observe you for a while before deciding what to do but now there is no other option", the expert spoke while tousling his long white beard.


    "Senior, I don''t understand", Zhan Chen spoke with a confused looking face.


    "Someone from my sect wants to see you. So, why don''te with me? We wille back before the start of thepetition", the expert spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, you should go. Brother Chao will never harm you. I will be here untill youe back", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Senior, may I inquiry your sect name?", Zhan Chen looked towards the old expert beside Lu Tai Cang.


    "I am from the Xuantian sect. The person who is looking to meet you is also from my Xuantian sect. He is an exalted person of our sect. So, I am left with no other option than meeting you", the expert exined with a helpless look on his face.


    ''This old man infront of me is already a peak Tribtion realm expert. Then what kind of person is wishing to meet me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    ''Nevertheless I am already nning to enter the Xuantian sect since the beginning. The Heavenly sword sect is not an option. So, I am left with few choices and the Xuantian sect is the best pick. Let''s see what they have to say when I meet them'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He took only few moments for ponderingbefore agreeing to the expert''s request. A smile appeared on the expert''s stoic face after seeing Zhan Chen ''s response.


    "Tai Cang, it is unfortunate that I can''t take you to that senior of mine. Otherwise, his guidance would have really helped you in improving your cultivation", the expert spoke before leaving with Zhan Chen.


    A surprised expression appeared on Lu Tai Cang ''s face after he heard what the expert had said. "Which old monster of the Xuantian sect hase this time? Ying Chao is so respectful towards him. It means he most be someone from the ancestoral caves of the Xuantian sect!", Lu Tai Cang murmured to himself.


    ----------------<sub> </sub>


    Ying Chao took Zhan Chen towards the central part of the Longyang city. They hade across several flying treasures while flying towards their destination.


    "The Longyang city seems more bustling today. Moreover, I can sense several powerful auras scanning us from afar", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "How is your rtionship with the Shen n?", Ying Chao asked after staying silent for a while.


    "It is good. They are the ones with whom I have travelled to the Centralnd", Zhan Chen replied. He threw a puzzled look towards Ying Chao after hearing him talking about the Shen n.


    "They will most probably not attend the Grand sectpetition this time", Ying Chao spoke.


    "What happened to them?", Zhan Chen asked with a startled look on his face.


    "They are attacked just after crossing the Luan province. They have managed to defend themselves but I heard that one of their Heavenly tribtion realm expert is seriously injured", Ying Chao spoke.


    "When did it happen?", Zhan Chen inquired.


    "Probably yesterday", Ying Chao answered.


    Zhan Chen furrowed his brows for a while as various thoughts came into his mind. He took few moments to calm himself down and thanked Ying Chao.


    "Many thanks senior for informing me about the news of the Shen n".


    "No problem. I have heard that you have some rtionship with them. So, I thought it is better to inform you about this matter", Ying Chao spoke.


    He controlled the flying treasure to increase its speed and finally entered the central part of the Longyang city. There was a simple looking mansion at the corner of a street.


    Ying Chao stopped the flying treasure near it and asked Zhan Chen to step out of the flying treasure.


    There seemed to be no one present inside the stone mansion. Ying Chao waited patiently for a while after entering inside a long hall.


    "Bring him to the courtyard", a voice heard inside the long hall.


    "Yes ancestor", Ying Chao respectfully spoke and led Zhan Chen towards a small courtyard at the back of the mansion.


    There was a person waiting for both Zhan Chen and Ying Chao when they entered inside the courtyard. He was a middle aged man with an amiable look on his face.


    There was no aura around him as he appeared like an average middle aged man. But that simple ordinariness made him extraordinary in the eyes of Zhan Chen.


    "A peak emperor realm expert!", Zhan Chen thought to himself with an unchanged look on his face. But inwardly he stay rmed because such an expert could create greate headache for him with his cultivation.


    "Little friend, sorry for bothering you. Me, moving around in the city is little inconvenient. So, I asked little Chao to bring you here. I hope you don''t mind", the middle aged man spoke with an apologetic look on his face.


    Ying Chao felt it iprehensible when he saw the senior of his sect acting so cordially with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen also felt slightly surprised as he couldn''t understand why the peak emperor realm expert acting so friendly with him! A curious look appeared on his face as he looked towards the emperor realm expert infront of him.

 Chapter 247 Second Elder Of The Lu Clan

    "How is big brother Zhan Lin? I heard that he is still alive", the emperor realm expert looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, you know my ancestor?", a startled look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Of course I know him. Any expert of our generation must have heard about him", the emperor realm expert spoke as a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.


    "Little friend, my rtionship with your Zhan n is much deeper than you think. You will understand if you spend sometime in my Xuantian sect", the emperor realm expert spoke.


    "We can talk about our rtionshipter. The main reason I have called you because I want to here your decision. Do you want to join my sect or do you have any other choice in your mind?", the emperor realm expert asked.


    "I am joining the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen replied without blinking an eyes. Both Ying Chao and the emperor realm expert were taken aback after hearing the straightforward deration of Zhan Chen.


    They thought Zhan Chen would take some time to think but their guess proved to be untrue. Zhan Chen readily epted their offer without wasting any time.


    "Good, little Chao will take care of you from now on. We will meet again after you enter my Xuantian sect", the emperor realm expert spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and bowed towards the emperor realm expert before leaving with Ying Chao.


    A smile appeared on the emperor realm expert ''s face after he saw Zhan Chen leaving the mansion. ''Wu Li would be happy after finding out about him. I am worrying about what gift to prepare for her but now I don''t have to worry", the emperor realm expert thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, let us first meet with the disciples of my Xuantian sect. Yo can ask them if you have any question regarding our sect", Ying Chao spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked at the Longyang city while traveling in the flying treasure of Ying Chao.


    The city was looking more bustling than ever after entering the final stage of the Grand sectpetition. All kinds of magical beasts and flying treasures could be seen around the city which made the city more colourful than ever.


    "Zhan Chen, be careful in the Grand sectpetition. We can''t say whether any cultivation n or sect has any malicious design for you", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Senior, I am aware of the danger. Thanks for reminding me", Zhan Chen replied. How could he forget how vengeful the Heavenly sword sect was acting towards him? But he didn''t want to act right away because it was not the proper time.


    "Heavenly sword sect, let''s see how you perform in the Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen thought to himself. Ying Chao bade his farewell after bringing him to the Rosewood inn.


    "Li Yan, what are you doing here?", Zhan Chen frowned after entering the main hall. Li Yan was sitting with other girls and waiting for him in the main hall.


    "Zhan Chen, I want to see thepetetion of the final stage", Li Yan spoke.


    "Is it necessary? You should take rest for some days", Zhan Chen rebuked.


    "No, I wish to go", she remained stubborn and looked towards Zhan Chen. Her wounds were almost healed.


    So, Zhan Chen didn''t insist her to stay after seeing her stubborn expression.


    Lu Tai Cang took out his flying treasure and all the girls boarded the flying treasure one by one. Together, they flew towards the venue of the Grand sectpetition.<sub> </sub>


    --------------


    "Aunt, where is he? I can''t see him among the Lu n cultivators", a young girl asked the mature beauty standing beside him.


    "I can''t find him either but I am sure that he wille to the final stage of the Grand sectpetition", the mature beauty replied.


    "Aunt, his talent is so superior. Moreover, we have already found out about the true identity of his Zhan family. In that case, will he still want ept me?", the young girl asked with with an uncertain tone in her voice. There was expectation yet worry and fear in her heart.


    "Ningxi, don''t worry about it. Zhan Chen will not do anything like this that will break your heart", the mature beauty spoke.


    "It is rather unexpected that you know Zhan Chen. With your talent, it is a given that you will enter our sect but your rtionship makes this matterplex. We will have to discuss it properly before epting you in our sect", a voice interrupted the conversation of aunt and niece.


    Both the young girl and the mature beauty turned their heads and found a middle aged cultivator looking at them. "Elder Lai", the young girl immediately greeted the middle aged woman who was looking at her from the side.


    "Well, you two can carry on. I will not disturb you girls any further. But I have to keep an eye on that brat if he choose toe near the group of our Fragrant Lily sect", the middle aged cultivator spoke.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know that a pair of aunt and niece was looking for him in the grand sectpetition. Otherwise, he would have rushed here because of their rtionship with him.


    He was enjoying the colourful sky of the Longyang city along with girls. The flying treasure of Lu Tai Cang flew in a moderate speed and took its time te near the venue of Grand sectpetition.


    The day''spetetion was yet to start when the group of Zhan Chen arrived. Lu Tai Cang stopped the flying trasure near the Lu n cultivators and helped everyone in deboarding.


    Zhan Chen felt few gazes on his body after stepping out from the flying treasure. He turned his head and found few experts looking at his direction.


    "Tai Cang, it is hard on you. I don''t know what the grand elder is thinking when he assigns you to take care of these snot nosed brats", a wizened voice came from the sky.


    A look of respect appeared on the face of Lu Tai Cang after he heard the voice. "Zhan Chen, please bear with it. First elder and the second elder is the senior most cultivators among all the elders of our Lu n", Lu Tai Cang sent a voice transmission to Zhan Chen''s mind.


    Zhan Chen looked towards a certain direction in the sky and a smile appeared on his face. "Greetings senior", he bowed his head towards the sky even though there seemed no one in that direction.


    Everyone felt confused by Zhan Chen''s action but he stood confident. A peak Tribtion realm expert couldn''t escape his eyes no matter how he tried to hide in the surrounding.


    "What a monstrous brat!", a surprised voice came out as the silhouette of an expert appeared in the sky. The expert looked towards Zhan Chen and the next moment appeared beside him.


    "Greetings second elder", the Lu n cultivators collectively bowed after seeing the wizened old man infront of him.


    "Second elder, why do you leave your seclusion?", Lu Tai Cang asked with a confused look on his face.


    "Have you not heard about the attack on Shen n participants?", the wizened old man asked.

 Chapter 248 The Grand Arrival Of The Imperial Family

    A hubbub came from a section of crowd when the second elder of the Lu n was exining the matter rted to the Shen n. Zhan Chen had already heard about the matters rted to the Shen n. So, he was not that surprised like the other members of the Lu n.


    "What is going on?", the Lu n cultivators looked at the distant hills from where the noise wasing. The hubbub gradually spread to the nearby crowd and it didn''t take time for them to notice what was going on.


    "It is the sky dagger formation of the imperial army!", the cultivators talked among themselves and looked towards the sky in awe.


    Gigantic sky eagles were soaring over the sky as they flew together in a dagger like pattern. There was a chariot behind them which was being pulled by two beautiful deers.


    The deers were blue in colur and they had pair of branched horns over their heads. There was a metallic luster in their towering horns and Zhan Chen didn''t take time to identify the rare magical beasts.


    "Heaven worshipping Spirit deer! They are auspicious beasts who brings luck to their owner", he murmured to himself. He shifted his gaze towards the chariot with a curious look on his face.


    The Sky dagger formation marched unhindered as the gigantic sky eagles flew towards a distant hill. They arranged themselves in an arrow like pattern after reaching the peak of the distant hill.


    The crowd curiously looked towards their direction as they were looking forward to see the person from the imperial family. There was a formation around the chariot which made it impossible for anyone to see what the person inside look like.


    Zhan Chen was slightly curious too but he wouldn''t use his soul consciousness recklessly in a ce like grand sectpetition. He had to wait a while along with other onlookers of the crowd to see who was the person that came from the imperial family.


    "Look, the barrier is fading", a cultivator called out to hispanion and pointed towards the chariot from the imperial family. The unseeable barrier gradually became transparent and finally a person came out from the chariot.


    She was a great beauty with a slender body and charming eyes. Onlookers looked at her curiously when another beauty appeared from the chariot.


    Two more beauties followed after her which took the number of the beauties to four. A surprised look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he found someone familiar among the four beauties.


    "What is she doing in the imperial family chariot?", he thought to himself and looked towards the charming beauty with whom he had spent an unforgettable night.


    The name of the familiar beauty was Zhou Xiaoling. She was the beautiful manager of the Golden leaf pavilion with whom ha he''d met in the Yellow stone city.


    "She is here. It means I may be able to see the person who is running all these Golden leaf pavilions", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    His spection was correct as another beauty came out from the Chariot after a while. Awestruck looks appeared everywhere after seeing the beauty who had just appeared from the chariot.


    Many cultivators felt like their soul was leaving as they looked at the heaven''s art infront of them. The beauty who had just appeared was wearing a veil but it did nothing to hide her world shaking charm.<sub> </sub>


    She threw a curious look towards the crowd and it was enough for the crowd to went crazy. Her every movement was special which made every men crazy and even the old cultivators were no exception.


    "She is here, the second princess of the imperial family", Lu Tai Cang spoke and looked away from the beauty who had just appeared. "Nine lotus exquisite body! Moreover she is practicing a devilish charming technique", Zhan Chen thought to himself with a shocked look on his face.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t look at her for a longer period. Even the sword monarch from the Heavenly sword sect has lost his reason once after seeing her up close", Lu Tai Cang reminded.


    "She is indeed fatal for any ordinary cultivator", Zhan Chen nodded his head and stayed silent. He tried his best to control his little brother and looked towards the second princess of the imperial Xie family.


    I have only heard rumors but her beauty was even exaggerated than the rumors I have heard. ''Nine exquisite lotus body'', a heavenly body which had no cultivation speciality like the other blessed bodies.


    It had only one function which enabled the bearer to have unrivalled charm of a heavenly maiden. Her every body part, every body movement was made for seduction. On top of that, she was practicing an extremely potent devilish charm technique. No ordinary cultivator at her cultivation level can''t escape her charm, be it a man or woman.


    Cultivators were drooling from their mouth when the people from the Spirit pce finally arrived. The onlookers forcefully distracted themselves and looked towards the people from the Spirit pce.


    "Tai Cang, there must be a reason for the imperial family to send her. The current emperor dotes on two of his offsprings most. She is one of them. I don''t think he will send her here unless it is a matter of great importance for the imperial family", the second elder of the Lu n spoke while tousling his long beard. There was a pondering look on his face as he looked towards the location of the imperial army and the second princess.


    "Second elder, have not you talked with grand elder after leaving your seclusion?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards the old man infront of him.


    Second elder of the Lu n shook his head as a questioning look appeared on his face. "Why do I need to talk with him?", he asked Lu Tai Cang.


    <o>,m "Second elder, there is a matter of great importance which may ure sometime after the grand sectpetition.</o>


    It may take few months or years but it will definitely happen. Grand elder didn''t describe much but from his tone I can tell that this matter is much more important than the Grand sectpetition", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "I think appearance of the second princess is rted to this matter. Imperial family is probably doing some sorts of preparation and we can see what their goal is by the time, the grand sectpetition ends", Lu Tai Cang added further.


    "I need to talk with elder brother Huan after thispetetion. For now, forget this matter. The day''spetetion is about to begin", the second elder of Lu n spoke.


    The spirit pce didn''t send judges immediately after arriving on the venue of the Grand sectpetition. Instead, they were having a conversation among themselves after arriving on their usual location.


    "I request representatives of the five ns and the three sects to meet with us. Imperial family has put forward a proposal this time. If all of you agree to it, then it will be a boon for the cultivators of our Northern desert continent", an expert of the Spirit pce announced. He was using his essence energy to enhance his voice. So, his words easily reached the surrounding hills.

 Chapter 249 Meeting Zi Ningxi And Zi Nuan

    "The imperial family is upto something as I have thought. I need to go now. Let''s see who are the representatives of other powers this time", the second elder of the Lu n spoke and his figure vanished into the air at the next moment.


    Zhan Chen shifted his gaze towards the Spirit pce cultivators after the second elder of the Lu n left. His eyes inadvertently fell upon the Fragrant Lily sect cultivators who were standing on a nearby hill.


    "So, here they are. I thought that they have abandoned their wish to watch the Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen thought to himself with a smile on his face.


    "Senior, you are earlier talking about the Fragrant Lily sect. Can you give some more information about them", Zhan Chen asked Lu Tai Cang.


    "Oh! What do you want to know about those witches?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen with a curious look on his face.


    "I want to know their overall strength and the cultivation level of their peak experts", Zhan Chen replied.


    "They are not too far from our five ns in terms of numbers. Their only concern is theck of emperor realm expertspared to the other peak powers", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Oh, that is good then. Thanks very much for the information", Zhan Chen spoke and bowed towards Lu Tai Cang slightly. A smile appeared on his face as he observed the beauties of the Fragrant Lily sect.


    "A sect filled with only beauties. That will be an ideal ce for me to improve my cultivation", he thought to himself. He felt someone looking at him and turned his head to look at the onlooker. It was Lu Mingxi who was looking at him with unblinking eyes.


    She turned her head shyly as she didn''t want to look at Zhan Chen''s eyes. A smile appeared on his face after he saw the lovely look on her face.


    "Last night was amazing. She is such an obedient and gentle girl", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He strode towards the ce of Lu Mingxi and sat beside her. Lu Mingxi found it hard to act normally after recalling what they have done yesterday.


    "Lady Mingxi, you were very good yesterday", Zhan Chen spoke in a low voice near her ear. Lu Mingxi felt like hiding in a hole after after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Don''t bring it up. What if someone hear us", she asked with blushing cheeks.


    "Don''t worry. No one will hear us. Moreover, I am looking forward to see you tonight", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What? Tonight also!", Lu Mingxi asked shyly after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen very much wanted to steal a kiss from her but it was impossible in broad daylight.


    He bade farewell to her and descended from the mountain. A suspicious looked appeared in the eyes of Lu Tai Cang after he saw the unusual behaviour of Lu Mingxi but his suspicion turned into amusement after he saw the direction of Zhan Chen''s movement.


    "A devil for the witches. It would be a fitting match if this brat targets those from the Fragrant moon sect", he thought to himself.


    -----------------


    "Aunt, he ising towards us", Zi Ningxi spoke shyly as a look of excitement appeared in her eyes.


    Zi Nuan smiled slightly after seeing the excitement on her niece''s face. Aplex look appeared on her face as she saw Zhan Chen walking towards them.


    "I have never imagined that Ningxi would like you so much. In that case, it is more important to keep our rtionship secret. I can''t let her find out that her aunt is sharing the same man who she loves", she thought to herself.<sub> </sub>


    Her face was covered with veil. So that, no one could see through her facial expression. She kept looking at the ground below as Zhan Chen approached them ina rapid pace.


    Both aunt and niece didn''t know that another person was keeping an eye on Zhan Chen along with them. She was elder Yali of Fragrant Lily sect with whom they had talked earlier.


    Unlike the anticipated look on the pair of aunt and niece, she had a malicious expression on her face. "If I can make this brat my ve, then I will have a useful subordinate. I can learn the techniques of Zhan n from him and jump to the emperor realm", she thought to herself.


    "Hello girls, I am Zhan Chen. It is a pleasure to meet with all of you", Zhan Chen greeted the cultivators of the Fragrant Lily sect.


    Curious look appeared on the faces of all the girls after they saw the handsome young man infront of them. Some were genuinely curious and some had greedy look on their faces.


    They looked at elder Yali as she generally stopped anyone from approaching their groups. But in case of Zhan Chen, it was an exception and it came as a surprise to them.


    Zhan Chen had a faint smile on his face as he looks at elder Yali of the Fragrant Lily sect. "Making me your ve with a charming technique! How naive", he thought to himself.


    He finally shifted his eyes towards the two for whom he hade to the location of the Fragrant lily sect.


    "To both the princess, sorry for thete greetings", Zhan Chen made a courtesy bow and looked towards Zi Nuan and Zi Ningxi.


    Both of them blushed after seeing how formally Zhan Chen was behaving.


    "Young master Chen, you are as kind as ever. It is I who should greet you in the first ce", Zi Ningxi spoke with blushed cheeks. She was the most beautiful girl of the Red cloud kingdom. So, one could imagine how beautiful she must be looking with her blushed cheeks.


    But for Zhan Chen, the irresistible one was Zi Nuan. She had the rare beauty bone. So, her charm was unparallel for a dual cultivator like him.


    She had most desirable natural gifts even if he didn''t consider her beauty bone. Her bodybined with her royal demeanor made it hard for Zhan Chen to resist.


    Her charm was irresistible for him in their first meeting and it was still the same. Zhan Chen found it hard to calm down after seeing her looking at him.


    He is still not in the full control of the Yinyang divine technique. So, a beauty with legendary beauty bone was a fatal attraction to him. He tried his best to control his burning desire and asked both of the beauties to follow him to the Lu n side.


    Zi Ningxi looked at elder Yali for permission but she nodded her head kindly and didn''t pay them any more attention. Both aunt and niece felt a little surprised but they still thanked her back and followed Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, how have you reached here?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Lingxi.


    "We have followed our sect master to the main branch of Fragrant lily sect and finally traveled with elder Yali to watch the grand sectpetition", Zi Ningxi replied.


    "Are you nning to join the Fragrant Lily sect?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "I don''t know. My sect master is insisting me to join their main branch but I can''t decide yet. Some of their techniques are very weird and I don''t think I can follow them", Zi Ningxi spoke.

 Chapter 250 A Collaborative Effort

    "It is a good thing that you have yet to join their sect. It is not a good ce for a princess like you to stay", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then what should I do?", Zi Ningxi asked with an uncertain tone in her voice. As a cultivation prodigee, her cultivation was rapid. She had already reached the peak of True essence realm in her tender age.


    But no matter how she wanted, she couldn''t ess a proper technique for advancing her cultivation. The technique of her royal family was not suited for her. So, she had no other option than joining a sect and ess their techniques to improve her cultivation.


    "Princess, do you trust me?", Zhan Chen stopped and looked towards Zi Ningxi. Zi Ningxi nodded her head shyly and shifted her eyes to not match her eyes with Zhan Chen''s.


    "Then follow me to the Xuantian sect. With your talent, they will not deny you. I can make them agree although it is not the time of disciple recruitment", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Xuantian sect?", Zi Nuan murmured in surprise after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile as he looked towards both aunt and niece.


    "You are joining the Xuantian sect?", Zi Nuan asked Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head as he waited for the response of Zi Ningxi.


    "Then, our royal family has to thank you for your kindness. Joining the Xuantian sect would be best possible oue for Ningxi. Royal father will be happy if he hears the news about Ningxi joining the Xuantian sect", Zi Nuan spoke. There was a look of gratitude in her eyes as she looked at Zhan Chen from her veil.


    "Thank you, young master Chen", Zi Mingxi spoke with blushed cheeks. Zhan Chen grabbed her hand and led her towards the ce of Lu n cultivators. Zi Nuan followed behind them and ascended the mountain along with Zhan Chen and her niece.


    "Third princess" Zhan Qingyue felt pleasantly surprised after seeing Zi Ningxi with Zhan Chen. She immediately came forward to greet her and took her away from Zhan Chen to have a chat.


    Zhan Chen introduced Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun to Zi Nuan and both of them took the softspoking princess away. Lu n cultivators were looking at Zhan Chen with astonishment as they couldn''t beleive Zhan Chen had such a girl by her side.


    The beauty of Zi Ningxi was breathtaking and with her gentle persona, she was the goddess of many cultivators'' dream.


    Some Lu n cultivators thought of approaching Zi Ningxi but they saw a warning look on Lu Tai Cang ''s face. A small smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw the facial expression of Lu Tai Cang.


    "Senior Cang, you are too cautious", he spoke to Lu Tai Cang.


    "You little brat, don''t act like an outright and noble person. Tell me the truth, who are both of these girls and what is their rtionship with the Fragrant Lily sect?", Lu Tai Cang asked.


    "Both of them are princess of the Red cloud kingdom. It is the ce from where I havee. The younger one was nning to join the Fragrant Lily sect but I have stopped her fr joining", Zhan Chen spoke.


    -------------------


    "Everyone, please pay attention. We have decided to make some changes in this year''s rules after discussing it with the nine powers of Centralnd", an expert of the Spirit pce spoke. He was enhancing his voice with essence energy. So, his voice was audible to all the cultivators gathered in the nearby hills.


    "Before this year''spetition, we only allowed groups of five to enter thepetetion. But this year, group of three can also participate. But they have topete with other groups which may be made up of more than three members.


    There will be total three stages in this year''s final round. First stage, the permissible limit for a group is five members.


    Those groups who are defeated in the first stage, can''t participate in second and third stages.<sub> </sub>


    Those who wins in the first stage, can join the second stage but with a permissible limit of three members. It means even if there is five members in your group, you have to discard two to participate in the second stage of thepetition.


    Third stage will be thest stage where each group can send only one person from their respective groups. There will be one on one battle among the selected participants and losers will be eliminated.


    This will continue untill we find top hundred for this year''spetition. There will be reward for selected candidates those who make it to the list of top hundred.


    Now, it is time for the first stage of thepetition. The list of awards will be announced at the end of the day", the cultivator from the Spirit pce announced.


    A hubbub arose from the crowd after the announcement was done. Everyone started to discuss about the rewards after listening to the words of the Spirit pce expert.


    "There were only provision for top ten candidates before this year''spetition. I wonder what they are nning to do with the selection of top hundred", cultivators talked among themselves with uncertain looks on their faces.


    "Have you heard? There will bevish rewards this year", a cultivator spoke.


    "How do you know?", hispanions asked.


    "I heard it from my elder who is close to Huang n", the cultivator replied.


    The rumor became more exaggerated in no time and finally reached the ears of Lu n cultivators. They were discussing the matter among themselves when the second elder of their n descended from the sky.


    "Second elder, are the rumor true? Are they going to award cultivation resources to those who are selected in the top hundred list?", the cultivators of the Lu n asked.


    "Yes, you have heard it correct. All the five ns and three sects have agreed and each of us will contribute a portion of resources for the award this year", the second elder of the Lu n spoke.


    "Senior, what about the Shen n? How can they agree if they are not participating in this year''spetition", Zhan Chen inquired.


    "That is the most interesting part. You should look at the sour face of Huo n when they found out that Shen n will be participating.


    The imperial family has intervened personally and they will make sure that no one would attack Shen n cultivators while they are travelling to the Longyang city.


    They have already left the Luan province and will soon arrive in the Longyang city", the second elder of the Lu n spoke.


    "Imperial family!", Zhan Chen felt surprised for a moment. He was nning to look into the matter of Shen n after the grand sectpetition ended but now there would be less trouble because he could see Shen Ruyan, Su''er, Ling''er and Lu Mingxi.


    "Second elder, what is the deal with the imperial family? I thought they would never interfere in our five ns'' business?", Lu Tai Cang asked.


    "Nothing is absolute. The situation is special this time. So, the agressive Huo n would have to bow a little. Otherwise, they will face endless troubles if they mess with the imperial family", second elder of the Lu n spoke.

 Chapter 251 Beginning Of The First Stage

    The second elder of the Lu n felt something and turned his head to look at the sky. It was Ying Chao from the Xuantian sect who hade to fetch Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings senior", Ying Chao bowed slightly towards the second elder of the Lu n. His cultivation was simr to the second elder of the Lu n but the second elder was far too oldpared to his own age.


    So, Ying Chao showed basic etiquette and looked towards the second elder. "I have met you when you are just a Martial ascension realm fledgling but now you stood at the same cultivation realm like me", the second elder of the Lu n spoke.


    "Have youe for this little brat?", he pointed towards Zhan Chen. Ying Chao nodded his head and shifted his gaze towards Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, you have already learned the rules of thepetition. Now, tell me whether you want to participate in a five member group or a three member group?", Ying Chao asked.


    "Senior, how many participants havee from the Xuantian sect?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "We have brought twelve of them. If we add you, then our number of participants will be thirteen.


    "We are nning to form two five members group and one three members group. Tell me, in which group you want to participate?", Ying Chao asked Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I will join the three member group", Zhan Chen contemted for a moment and replied.


    ------------------


    "Tai Cang, what do you think? How far this Zhan Chen brat will go in thispetetion?", the second elder of the Lu n asked Lu Tai Cang.


    "It is a given that he will make it to the third stage of thepetition. But I can''t tell that whether he canpete with those geniuses who have reached Martial ascension realm before the age of thirty", Lu Tai Cang replied.


    "You think so highly of him?", second elder knitted his eyebrows.


    "Girly, what do you think?", he looked towards Lu Mingxi.


    "Senior, I have the same opinion as elder Cang. I think Zhan Chen can reach the third stage of thepetition if he try his best", Lu Mingxi replied.


    They were not using the mental messages for conversation. So, the participants of the Lu n could hear the conversation between their elders. Some of them felt envious of Zhan Chen and threwpetetive stairs towards the Xuantian sect group where Zhan Chen was standing.


    "Seems like you are really popr among the Lu n participants. Otherwise, why that blockhead Lu Xiaojun would look our way like this?", an enchanting voice sounded near the ears of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, how can it be? Considering your poprity, he must be looking at you", Zhan Chen replied. His luck with the beauties continued even after he joined the Xuantian sect group.


    Xuantian sect had brought twelve cultivators and five of them were girls. One had a cold look on her face and she didn''t even look at him after he was brought. Other four looked at him curiously and Zhan Chen immediately began to talk with one of them.


    Her name was Sima Chunhua and she was a great beauty who was really popr among the Xuantian sect cultivators. Zhan Chen could guess this much immediately after seeing the hostile look on the faces of some of the participants.<sub> </sub>


    "Junior brother, you are really funny. You have a sweet mouth but I have yet to see your skills", Sima Chunhua spoke with a smile on her face. She looked at the young man beside her curiously as no one had talked with her this way like Zhan Chen did.


    Spirit palce asked for the willing participants to register their groups first. There was a beeline towards the Spirit pce representatives after the announcement was made.


    "Jia Lingyi, Sima Chunhua, Ling Xuan Wue forward", Ying Chao spoke. The beauty beside Zhan Chen smiled softly towards Zhan Chen and walked towards the front. The ice cold beauty who seemed to be in a world of her own also came forward and there was a burly young man following behind her.


    "You three have the highest cultivation among our participants. I want to hear your opinion before deciding upon the groups for thepetition", Ying Chao spoke.


    "I will follow Lingyi", the burly young man was the first to reply.


    "The strongest team should be formed around elder sister Lingyi and elder brother Xuan Wu. I will keep others and try to make it to the third stage of thepetition", Sima Chunhua replied.


    Ying Chao looked towards the cold beauty but didn''t receive any response. He shook his head and looked towards the other Xuantian sect cultivators.


    "We will form three groups in total. First two groups will beid by Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua. As for the third group, we will decide upon it after forming the first two groups ", Ying Chao announced.


    He gave free hands to Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua to decide their groups. They selected the best cultivators among the thirteen to form their groups.


    Sima Chunhua threw an apologetic look towards Zhan Chen but he didn''t mind it at all. He could see how much she wanted to make it to the third stage of thepetition. She had yet to know him properly. So, it would be unwise of her if she decide upon him in the ce of other Xuantian sect cultivators.


    "Now the third group. We don''t expect anything from you but please try to do your best and survive the first stage of thepetition", Ying Chao spoke.


    The remaining two cultivators from the Xuantian sect had a bitter look on their faces. Both of them had mid Core condensation realm cultivation but such cultivation level was weakest among the participating cultivators of the Xuantian sect. They didn''t have any speciality beside their cultivation either. So, they could understand their non inclusion among the best two groups.


    They looked towards the only remaining person beside them and wanted to curse out loudly after seeing the non chnt look on his face. "What is the point in participating in the battle? This brat may be a genius but his cultivation can''t be much considering his age. We are doomed since the beginning", they thought to himself.


    The first stage of the final round began soon after the registration process was over. Spirit drums were brought out and an expert from the Spirit pce flew into the sky to announce the beginning of thepetetion.


    There were no announcement of the group names. So, the participating groups had toe to the tform voluntarily for participating in thepetetion.


    Such a practice meant chaos among the participating groups but none of the onlookers mind it. They waited patiently as the first ten groups upied the five battle tforms.


    Battle started immediately after the three beatings from the spirit drum. Each group showcased their talents while trying to outsmart the opposition groups.


    Zhan Chen could see that none of the participants were weak as most of them had core condensation realm cultivation. But such a level of cultivation didn''t matter here if you can''t perform on the battle stages of the Grand sectpetition.

 Chapter 252 Zhan Chen Joined The Battle

    Blood sttered on the rock tform as a group of participants gotpletely annihted by their opponent group. No one could fathom the reason for such cruelty but it showed the true nature of the cultivation world to the onlookers.


    Zhan Qingyue felt little worried after seeing such viciousness in the beginning of thepetition. She threw a look towards the group from the Xuantian sect where Zhan Chen was standing.


    "Can little Chenpete here? All the participants seem so powerful ", she thought to herself. Her worry was reflected on other women''s faces also as they thought about Zhan Chen''s safety.


    Zhan Chen was busy talking with Sima Chunhua. So, he didn''t notice his women''s worry about him. Battle proceeded as usual and finally a group from the Xuantian sect stepped out to participate in the battle.


    It was the group of ice cold beauty, Jia Lingyi. They were the strongest group among the three Xuantian sect groups. So, Zhan Chen had no doubt about the result of their battle.


    "This beauty is already a Martial ascension realm expert at the tender age of twenty four. I can''t underestimate the reserves of peak powers after seeing such a talented person in the younger generation of the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The result was unsurprising as the group led by Jia Lingyi secured afortable win. Sima Chunhua bade farewell to Zhan Chen and led her group towards the stone tform.


    "She should be alright in her first battle unless they found a strong group as their opponent", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Sima Chunhua was only twenty three yet she hadte Core condensation realm cultivation. Her talent for cultivation was admirable but it still fell short of Jia Lingyi who was clearly the most talented cultivator among the Xuantian sect participants.


    Zhan Chen observed the battle of Sima Chunhua ''s group with interest in his eyes. His eyes were particrly fixed on Sima Chunhua who was fighting fiercely with the opponent group leader.


    "Combining fire element with a whip. Her footwork is particrly good but she need to polish her technique", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The battle ended with the victory of Sima Chunhua''s group but their win was notfortable like Li Jingyi''s group. Their opponent fought tooth and nail and two members of Sima Chunhua''s group were injured as a result.


    "I can''t believe that I have to strain myself this much although it is my first battle", Li Chunhua spoke with frustration in her tone after sitting beside Zhan Chen.


    "Your opponent also has considerable strength. Both of your cultivation realms are simr. So, it is admirable that you manage to push back your opponent and achieve victory", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Thank you, junior brother. My battle is already over. So, it is your turn.


    When are you nning to participate in the battle?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "Let''s wait a while. I have a specific target in my mind. We will go once I see them descending the hill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Sima Chunhua looked at Zhan Chen with surprise in her eyes after hearing his reply. "You are unbelievable, junior brother. Your group only have three members. Yet you are nning to target some other group!", she spoke with disbelief all over her face.


    -------------------


    "Look, young master is going down the hill", Li Shu pointed towards the group of Zhan Chen.


    Two other participants from the Xuantian sect were following behind Zhan Chen as he walked towards the stone tform.


    He walked amidst the crowd and stepped on a certain stone tform. There was a group of cultivators already standing on the said battle tform.


    A mocking look appeared on their faces after they saw a group of three standing opposite to them. They looked at the attire of twopanions of the Zhan Chen and immediately recognise the identity of their opponents.


    "Three fools from the Xuantian sect dare challenge our Heavenly sword sect! What a joke!", they mocked loudly.


    The onlookers became stunned after seeing Zhan Chen ''s group standing against a group from the Heavenly sword sect. Generally, powerful sects like the Heavenly sword sect, the Xuantian sect and the Frozen cloud sect avoide facing eachother in the initial rounds of thepetition.


    But the doing of Zhan Chen was clearly opposite which brought scorns from the participants of Heavenly sword sect. Ying Chao had a frown on his face as he looked at the situation developing on the stone tform.<sub> </sub>


    An unnecessary confrontation with the Heavenly sword sect just because of one person''s whim appeared stupidous to him.


    "What is this brat even thinking? Bringing two person to confront a group of five from the Heavenly sword sect? This is foolishness at its best", he thought to himself. Other cultivators of the Xuantian sect also shook their heads as they waited for Zhan Chen to be humiliated by the Heavenly sword sect cultivators.


    The judge brought forward his hand and shouted ''start''. The five cultivators of the Heavenly sword sect immediately pounced at Zhan Chen''s group after the battle began.


    All five cutivators of the Heavenly sword sect were sword cultivators. The leader of them pounced at Zhan Chen immediately just after the match began.


    Zhan Chen removed Lu Mingxi''s sword from his spatial ring and defended an attack from the Heavenly sword sect cultivator.


    His opponent swung his sword once more after seeing his attack getting blocked. Zhan Chen swept his sword horizontally and stopped the attack from his opponent.


    Two cultivators of the Heavenly sword sect didn''t stand ideally anymore as theye to the aid of their fellow group members. One of them charged towards Zhan Chen using a sneaky movement technique.


    A grin appeared on his face after he appeared near Zhan Chen. He stabbed his sword forward hoping to catch Zhan Chen off guard.


    Zhan Chen back stepped two steps to neutralize the attack. A glint appeared on his face after he saw the predicament of his group members.


    "Enough ying around", he thought to himself and his figure vanished. Then what happened was a blur for everyone as they could only see two figures flying back in the battlefield.


    "Ah", a painful cry came out from a cultivator after his bodynded on the battlefield. There was a stream of blooding from his mouth as he looked at Zhan Chen with a fearful look on his face.


    "Brother Bai, Brother Zhi", the leader of the Heavenly sword sect group cried out as he moved back to check his group members. The other two members of the Heavenly sword sect also pulled back from the battle and gathered around their injured members.


    "Don''t worry. They will be fine after few months of rest. Now it is your tu Zhan Chen spoke from a distance and used his movement technique. All three members of the Heavenly sword tightened their grips around their swords and looked vigntly towards Zhan Chen''s direction.


    "Kacha!", A sound of bone breaking came out as a Heavenly sword sect member flew forward. Other two members also received two kicks from Zhan Chen and crashed onto the battlefield.


    Three of the five had fainted straight away and two of them still had their eyes open. But they would be better left unconscious because of the look of fear on their faces.


    The crowd stood stunned for a moment as the noise in the surrounding abruptly stopped. Everyone was looking at the stone tform where the five participants from the Heavenly sword sect were lying.


    "What happened just now?", the crowd erupted into noise after the abrupt silence in the atmosphere. There was shock and disbelief on their faces as they looked at Zhan Chen''s direction.


    "What a relief! Little Chen is so strong now", Zhan Qingyue kept her hand on her chest and sighed in relief. There was a look of disbelief on the faces of the Xuantian sect cultivators as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "This brat is a monster. His attacks are so swift that even I have struggled to keep up with him", Ying Chao murmured to himself.


    The judge announced the result and Zhan Chen left the stone tform along with his twopanions. There was a look of admiration on both of their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Earlier, they didn''t have any intention to confront the group from the Heavenly sword sect. But an irrefutable voice appeared in their mind and both of them didn''t have any choice other than giving in.


    The coercionsted untill they stepped on the stone tform. By the time, they had regained their free will, it was toote to step out from the stone tform.


    Heavenly sword sect cultivators pounced at them and they immediately fell into disadvantage. When they werementing their fate, they saw the vague image of Zhan Chen appearing near them.


    After that, the battle ended very swiftly and they found all the five members from the Heavenly sword sect lying on the ground. Zhan Chen was smiling towards them as if he had no role in what happened to the five participants from the Heavenly sword sect.

 Chapter 253 Arrival Of The Shen Clan

    A small uproar emerged from the crowd who were upying western section of the hills. Zhan Chen raised his head and saw a flying object approaching the venue of the Grand sectpetition from a distance.


    The flying object gradually grew clearer infront of his eyes and a smile appeared on his face after he noticed the symbol on the top of the flying boat. "They are finally here", he thought to himself.


    The gigantic flying boat stopped on the top of a hill and a group of cutivators came out of it. Zhan Chen found several familiar looking faces among the group of cultivators.


    Shen Ruyan, Su''er, Ling''er and always cold Liu Nanxi were amidst them.


    There were two golden armoured warriors standing infront of the Shen n cultivators. They had a prating look in their eyes which kept the crowd away from looking at the Shen n cutivators.


    "Six Heavenly tribtion realm experts! The security is so tight for Ruyan and others. It will be unwise if I go and meet them now", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The battle continued untill the evening of the day. There were only few groups left who were yet to participate in the first stage.


    "The first stage of the battle will be resumed early morning. Everyone please be prepared because we will start the second stage immediately after the first stage ends", a spirit pce expert announced to the crowd.


    --------------


    "Where is young master Chen?", Li Shu asked Lin Xintong who was sitting in the main hall along with Sun Xiun.


    "Young master Chen has just left for the outside. He said that he needs to take care of some business. So, he will bete tonight", Lin Xintong replied.


    Li Shu nodded her head and returned to his room. Lin Xintong looked amorously towards Sun Xiun and both them left the main hall together.


    Meanwhile, Zhan Chen''s silhouette appeared near a luxurious looking inn. He looked towards the inn and a devious smile appeared on his face.


    "Making me a ve! What a joke? Let''s meet this elder Yali of the Fragrant Lily sect who dare to attempt such a thing on me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He waited for some minutes and saw a mature womaning out from the luxurious looking inn. She was elder Yali who tried to make him a ve when he went near the Fragrant Lily sect cultivators to meet Zi Ningxi and Zi Nuan.


    "Master", the mature woman knelt immediately after seeing Zhan Chen. There was a fierce desire on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Open up you soul consciousness", Zhan Chen coldlymanded. Then he sent his soul consciousness towards the kneeling woman and looked at her memory.


    ''All the women of Fragrant lily sect needs to be virgin although they need yang energy to supplement their cultivation method. They use charm technique on the male cultivators and make them release their yang energy while they are in an illusion.


    Some of the experts of the Fragrant Lily sect use more harsher means and make numerous talented cultivators their ves and pluck their yang energy as they wish.''


    Zhan Chen felt a little surprised after finding out the truth about the Fragrant Lily sect. He didn''t know that these witches from the Fragrant Lily sect would use such shady means to improve their cultivation.


    "Well, how they decide to cultivate that is none of my concern. Taking ves is also the core idea of the cultivation world, weak falls prey to the strong.


    The most important catch here is all of them are pure despite the number of ves they have. They have countless experts. So, I can use this chance and improve my cultivation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Enough, you can stand up now", he spoke to the kneeling expert.


    Using charm technique on him would naturally have some retribution. In the case of the kneeling expert, she was badly affected by his charm now.


    Here, Zhan Chen didn''t have to give any effort. He merely use the connection of her charm technique and reversed the impact of charm technique towards her. Now, she would be mad for coption with Zhan Chen even if Zhan Chen did do anything.


    That was the technique of the Fragrant Lily sect and Zhan Chen merely reversed its impact towards her. "I am not like you witches who fools opposite gender in an illusion. A girl wants to cultivate with me. So, why should I deny your request?", he spoke to the expert of Fragrant lily sect with a grin on his face.


    "Go back to your room. I don''t mind going with you but that will bring trouble. I have a huge nning for your sect. So, I can''t ruin it now", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Master, please don''t be mad. I just need you to apany me. I promise this ve will do her best to please master", the mature beauty pleaded.<sub> </sub>


    "Who said ai am mad. I am merely dentying to go with you. You go first. I will be in your room within a minute ?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Thank you master", the expert was trying to kneel again but Zhan Chen stopped her. He looked at the begging expert and a look of surprise appeared on his face.


    "Her technique was meant to make me sexually deprived. Then she can use my lust and pluck my yang essence. Her technique was good but it was a pity that her target was me. Now, she need to beg me to escape the effect of this technique", he thought to himself.


    He went to her room after the interval of few minutes. She was already trying releive herself from the agonizing torment, she was feeling.


    <o>,m "Hu Yali,e here. No need to do it by yourself", Zhan Chen spoke. His voice stopped her from rubbing her little sister as a look of wild joy appeared on her face.</o>


    "Master, you are here. I thought I will die without you apanying me", Hu Yali spoke.


    She immediately went forward and knelt down infront of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t have to instruct anything as she pulled his pant in a single go.


    A greedy look appeared on her face after she saw the dragon of Zhan Chen. "Master, let this ve serve you", she spoke and immediately put his dragon inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen let her did as she please and enjoyed the care he was receiving. Hu Yali waspletely unreserved as tried to swallow the dragon of Zhan Chen with her mouth.


    She moved her mouth back and forth and wrapped her to tongue while doing so. Her wild hospitality finally rekindled the me of lust in Zhan Chen''s heart.


    Zhan Chen felt movement in the seal of nefarious energy as it was trying to activate on it''s own. Zhan Chen supressed it and looked towards Hu Yali.


    "You are such an enchantress. How can I do nothing while you are so weing", he spoke.


    He wrapped his hand around her hair and held it tightly. Then he moved his waist rapidly while his dragon was inside her mouth.


    "Slurp! Slurp!", the sphemous sound rang inside the room when Zhan Chen moved his waist powerfully. The amazing fact was Hu Yali was yet to let go of his dragon despite sucking his dragon since a while.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon was throbbing when he finally allowed her to take a little rest. To his surprise, Hu Yali again started to use her mouth only after taking few moments to catch her breath.


    His dragon waspletely red when he decided to pull his dragon out of her mouth. Despite his experience in dual cultivation, he had never experienced something like this.


    Hu Yali started to undress herself after Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from her mouth. Zhan Chen became stunned for a moment after seeing her uncovered assets.


    "I can''t beleive it. Such massive assets! How can they stay hidden without catching public attention", he murmured to himself.


    Hu Yali generally had a cold look on her face and she was dressed in such a manner that no one would suspect she had such an impressive body.


    Two massive mountains, then a t valley. Two meaty thighs hiding her unploughed secret garden.


    Zhan Chen turned her body and couldn''t control his lust anymore after seeing the picture infront of him. Her back was so unproprtional that it blew his mind.


    He immediately made her stood on her all four and stabbed her garden. She cried out in pain a little but Zhan Chen was concious enough to made herfortable.


    .


    "How are you feeling?", he asked Hu Yali.


    "Master, I am good. Please move your body", she replied. Compared to Zhan Chen, she was almost going crazy due to the effect of her technique.


    Such effects would not go away without the desired dual cultivation. Zhan Chen had to pound her for a while untill she regained her semnce.


    Zhan Chen was on verge of letting out his yang essence but he held back. Instead he looked at Hu Yali who had gained back her sense.

 Chapter 254 Depraved Hu Yali

    "Tell me what do you think about it? How does it feel to be a ve of others?", Zhan Chen asked. His dragon was still inside Hu Yali''s cave. He merely stopped moving and wanted to check Hu Yali''s reaction.


    "Master, thank you for epting me as a ve. You have already taken my virginity. So, please ept me as your eternal ve", Hu Yali replied.


    "What? This is what you want?", Zhan Chen asked with a speechless look on his face. Hu Yali nodded her head and moved her back slightly to make her morefortable with Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "This shouldn''t be. A peak Tribtion realm expert can''t be a ve so willingly", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He used Heart peeriing technique on Hu Yali to see what she was thinking.


    His mind went nk after he saw the result. Her mind was filled with all sorts of picture of between himself and her. There were all sorts of positions she had imagined and some were so inappropriate that he had never imagined doing it with any of his women.


    She had long since fantasizing about such things. So, the image of Zhan Chen imprinted inside her mind when she fell under his charm.


    "Such a wild girl. It must be difficult for her to remain pure despite having such urges", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Master, please move. I can''t bear the torture anymore", the pleading voice of Hu Yali came out.


    "Pah!", Zhan Chen immediately gave a tight p to her buttocks and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face.


    "Do you like it?", he asked and gave another p to her buttocks. Hu Yali wiggled her buttocks as she felt a wave of pleasure running down through her spine.


    Few drops of liquid slid out from her cave in response to Zhan Chen''s question. "I can''t beleive it", he murmured to himself and thrusted his hips towards her buttocks.


    "Ahh~", a moaning sound came out from Hu Yali''s mouth in response to Zhan Chen''s wild thrust. Zhan Chen didn''t hold back anymore and continued to pound her with his dragon.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah!", the sound of flesh colliding rang inside her room as the face of Hu Yali became delirious in pleasure. She finally couldn''t take it and let out a stream of yin water from her cave.


    Zhan Chen picked her body and made her lie on her back. Then he crouched on top of her mouth and ced his dragon over her mouth.


    He didn''t have to suggest anything as Hu Yali was more cooperative than he thought. She immediately raised her head and took his dragon inside her mouth.


    He started to move his waist slowly and ploughed her mouth. After few moments of ploughing, he finally reached his peak.


    Hu Yali felt something warm flooding her mouth as Zhan Chen released a huge amount not yang essence near her throat. Two lines of white came out of Hu Yali''s mouth when he pulled back his dragon from her mouth.


    "Your mouth feels amazing. Now take a little rest. We can continue after I finish my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Thank you master. This ve will dly wait", Hu Yali spoke. She didn''t have any discontent in her heart towards Zhan Chen. Rather, she was feeling happy at the moment because she chose to mess with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had ced a ve seal inside her soul but she had no problem with it. Rather she was feeling happy inside her heart because she manage to find such a master.


    "Master has such potent yang essence despite his young age. I have never seen such quality although I have few peak Martial ascension realm ve", she thought to herself.


    She looked towards Zhan Chen who was cultivating with his eyes closed. She recalled the massive dragon and a blush appeared on her mature face.


    "Such a massive rod! I bet other sisters will be amazed if they get to see master''s little brother", she thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know what Hu Yali was thinking. Otherwise, he would have praised her for being so thoughtful. He required yin energy from peak experts and nothing was a better targetpared to a sect full of bewitching women.


    The Yinyang divine diagram on his dantian continued to provide pure energy in exchange of Hu Yali''s pure yin essence. His cultivation increased gradually and he finally found the breakthrough point for the third stage of Martial ascension realm.


    He pushed through with his soul consciousness and the barrier separating second stage of Martial ascension realm and the third stage of Martial ascension realm broke.


    His energy sea widened further as he officially entered into the third stage of Martial ascension realm. There were still some energy left even after his breakthrough. He cultivated for a while and opened his eyes after stabilizing his cultivation.<sub> </sub>


    "Seems like the the amount of nefarious energy has increased while I am dual cultivating with her", he thought to himself after checking the energy seal inside his body. Unlike his first time with Lu Mingxi, he had full control over the nefarious energy now.


    That was the reason Hu Yali didn''t get affected although nefarious energy were being pulled into his body while they were dual cultivating.


    "Master, how is your cultivation?", the enchanting voice of Hu Yali came from the bed. She was in her undergarments now and waiting for Zhan Chen.


    "It is good. All thanks to your contribution. Now, it will be rude if I do not give a reward to you in retu Zhan Chen replied with a grin on his face.


    -----------------


    "Beauty, it is already past midnight. I thought you would be sleeping when Ie here", a voice rang inside Shen Ruyan ''s room while she was resting on her bed.


    She was not a person who would waste her timelike this. But for some reason, her heart was in turmoil. So, she couldn''t focus on her cultivation no matter how she tried.


    It had been days since she saw Zhan Chen and she had gone through a lot within these few days. So, she was missing his presence badly. That was the reason her heart could not settle and she was unable to do her cultivation properly.


    A surprised look appeared on her face after she heard the voice. She turned her head and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.


    She couldn''t react right away as it was unbelievable for her. Zhan Chen was smiling at her standing near the window.


    "Beauty, it has been few days since Ist saw you and now it looks like you forget about me after going into your n", Zhan Chen shook his head with a mncholic expression on his face.


    Shen Ruyan finally came to term that Zhan Chen was here. She left her bed and leapt into the embrace of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen", she called out emotionally and embraced him tightly. Two drops of tear were threatening to left her eyes but she did her best to hold them back.


    Zhan Chen hugged the emotional beauty tenderly as it was a surprise for him to see her in such a vulnerable condition. Shen Ruyan was generally a strong woman but her attatchment towards him, made her unravel such a soft side of her.


    "I thought I couldn''t see you anymore", she spoke after embracing Zhan Chen for few moments.


    "Fortunately, first elder was following us secretly. So, the enemies were unaware about his presence. Without him, we may have died in the Dragon province", she spoke and tightened her hand around the back of Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t worry. Such a thing will never happen again. Come to the Xuantian sect with me. No one dare mess with you there in my presence ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He freed himself from her embrace and wiped her moistened eyes. "Tell me in details what happened actually after you have left your Shen n premises?", he asked Shen Ruyan.


    "This time we are bringing nine cultivators from our n who are yet to reach the age of twenty six and have the cultivation of Core condensation realm.


    Me, Ling ''er, Su''er and aunt Nanxi are the only extra people who have joined the group of participants from our Shen n. Third elder was assigned to protect us and he was traveling with us in the flying boat.


    Everything was normal when we were traveling inside our Luan province. But our flying boat suddenly got attacked after we crossed over to the Dragon province.


    There were six attackers in total. All of them were using some sorts of technique to


    hide their faces.


    Third elder got quickly overpowered by them and we gotpletely surrounded. The assantsunched powerful attacks towards us and I thought we were all going to die.


    Fortunately, first elder was following us secretly. So, he saved us somehow and we went back to our Shen n.


    Third elder is badly injured this time and no one can say whether he can survive or not", Shen Ruyan replied.

 Chapter 255 The Bond Between Shen Ruyan And Zhan Chen

    "So, you are saying that you have not seen the faces of the assants?", Zhan Chen asked. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Do you suspect any ns?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "There is only one n who would do something like this. Otherwise, all other powers have amiable rtionship with us", Shen Ruyan replied.


    "Are you talking about the Huo n?", Zhan Chen asked. Shen Ruyan nodded her head as a look of rage appeared on her face.


    "They generally pretend to be nice with us because their eldest young master has eyes on me. But this time, I think they have shown their true colour. This is how forceful they are", Shen Ruyan replied.


    "Well, they can''t get away if they are the culprit. Trust me, I will get the confirmation by the end of today''spetetion", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Don''t do anything drastic. You don''t need to involve yourself in such dangerous matters", Shen Ruyan shook her head immediately after hearing Zhan Chen''s response.


    "Don''t you have beleive in me?", Zhan Chen raised her chin with her hand and looked at her eyes.


    Both of them looked at each other for few moments and their mouths unconsciously inched closer to each other. The yearning in Shen Ruyan ''s heart manifested as she coopearated with Zhan Chen during the kiss.


    "Leave everything to me", Zhan Chen spoke and kissed her again. He kissed her soft lips passionately as his hand wrapped around her willow waist.


    Zhan Chen untied her clothes and took out her thin robe. Her beautiful body appeared infront of him after thestyers of her clothes got taken.


    Zhan Chen lifted her by her waist and ced her on her bed. Her magnificent figure was in full disy as it sent naked invitation towards him.


    Zhan Chen leaned on her body and kissed her again. Shen Ruyan wrapped her hand around his back as both of them felt the warmth in eachother''s body.


    Zhan Chen felt his clothes were a nuisance. So, he took them off. His dragon poked against her lower belly as they got entangled in eachother''s embrace.


    His presence rekindled the passion in Shen Ruyan ''s mind as she felt the urge to feel him more deeply.


    Zhan Chen could see through her desire. So, hey on his back himself and lifted up Shen Ruyan ''s body. He ced her waist on his mouth as her secret garden got pierced by his mouth.


    "Mmmm~", Shen Ruyan moaned as she got overwhelmed by the invading tongue. Few drops of liquid slid out from her cave as an encouragement for Zhan Chen''s care and love.


    "Ruyan, turn back. You can use your mouth while I am tasting you", Zhan Chen spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head with a reddened face and did as she was said.


    She crouched on Zhan Chen''s face and brought her mouth towards Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen ''s dragon throbbed after feeling her soft hand around itself. Shen Ruyan felt the warmthing from Zhan Chen''s shaft and took out her tongue curiously.


    She licked the tip of the dragon slowly and finally brought down her mouth. Zhan Chen also sped up his tongue and she finally couldn''t hold it.


    A stream of Fragrant water came out from her cave and drenched the face of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen gulped the yin water delightfully as a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.


    "Ruyan, shall I ask Ling''er and Su''er?", Zhan Chen asked. Without both of those girls, it would be hard for Shen Ruyan to handle him alone.


    Shen Ruyan nodded her head sighly as she looked at the raging dragon of Zhan Chen. She knew it would be difficult for her to tame the beast alone.


    Zhan Chen sent his soul consciousness towards the room of Ling''er and Su''er after getting the permission from Shen Ruyan. He was confident that both of the girls were yet to sleep.


    His guess turned true as both of them were still awake. They were talking with eachother while snuggling closely.


    Few minutester, a knock came from Shen Ruyan ''s door. Zhan Chen got up and walked towards the door to open it up.


    Shen Ruyan pulled the bed covering towards her and wrapped her body with it. By the time Su''er and Ling''er came, she was already sitting on a corner of the bed.


    "Young master!", a look of surprise and joy appeared on both of the girls faces after they saw Zhan Chen. Both of them were shocked but they were more quick to adapt than Shen Ruyan.


    "Su''er, Ling''er, how are you two? I have been missing you girls", Zhan Chen spoke. Ling''er threw a greedy look towards Zhan Chen''s dragon after seeing it so mighty and straight.<sub> </sub>


    She wanted to hold it but her first concern was her young miss. A speechless look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he looked towards Shen Ruyan along with Su''er and Ling''er.


    "She is still so reserved",he shook his head with a smile on his face.


    "Both of you can do it with Zhan Chen first. I will join youtter after resting a bit", Shen Ruyan spoke with a straightforward look on her face.


    "Queen has ordered. So, you two girls should obey", Zhan Chen spoke with a teasing look on his face. Shen Ruyan looked away while both of her cheeks werepletely red. She felt sweet in her heart after hearing Zhan Chen calling her queen.


    "Young master, sit down first", both of the girls spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat sat down on the edge of the bed.


    Both of the girls knelt down infront of him and reached out their hands to grab his dragon. Zhan Chen closed his eyes in delight as both of them started to use their tongue.


    Su''er was one step ahead as she took in the family jewels of Zhan Chen inside her mouth. They didn''t leave any inch untended despite the size of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Veins popped up on Zhan Chen''s dragon as he received their intense care. He finally asked them to stop and undressed them one by one.


    "Ling''er, Su''er, stand on your four", Zhan Chen spoke. Both of them happily obliged and showed their slender back to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen massaged their curvy backs a little. Then rubbed his dragon against the cave entrance of Su''er.


    Su''er waited in anticipation as Zhan Chen stimted her body by rubbing his dragon over her entrance. Finally, the much anticipated thrust came and after that it was pure ecstacy for Su''er.


    A wild night ensured between the four and Zhan Chen left the room of Shen Ruyan before the morning of next day.


    -----------------


    A frown appeared on the face of first elder of the Shen n after he observed the group of participants from his n. "Where is your young miss?", he asked to a female cultivator who was staying in the same floor as Shen Ruyan.


    "Young miss has yet toe out from her room. I don''t know what she is doing", the female cultivator replied.


    "And her two maids? What about them?", the first elder of Shen n asked again.


    "They have not left their room either", the female cultivator replied.


    "Little girl Ruyan is not someone who is irresponsible. There must be something going on", the first elder thought to himself.


    He spread his soul consciousness and a look of shock appeared on his face.


    "Breaking through together! Just what is going on?", he muttered with a shocked look on his face.


    "One of you stay here and guard her. Inform me immediately if there is any problem", the first elder spoke to the other Heavenly tribtion realm experts of his n.


    Zhan Chen left the Redwood inn with his women and travelled in the flying boat of Lu Tai Cang. All of his women were apanying him as they were looking forward to see him in the second stage of thepetetion.


    It was early morning yet the hills were already packed. Lu Tai Cang stopped his flying treasure near the group of Lu n and looked towards the stone tforms.


    There were few groups of participants who had gathered near the stone tforms. They had yet topete in the first stage. So, they were getting impatient for the arrival of the Spirit pce experts.


    Zhan Chen felt someone looking towards him and turned his head. It was Lu Mingxi who was observing him with her charming eyes. "Damn it. I have forgot about visiting herst night", he thought to himself.


    A piercing gaze fell upon Lu Mingxi and Zhan Chen as they were looking at eachother. It was the second elder of the Lu n who became suspicious.


    "Zhan Chen, what is the matter? Do you want to say something to Mingxi?", he asked Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, I want her permission to use her sword for few more days", Zhan Chen replied.

 Chapter 256 Participating In The Second Stage

    "Damn this old geezer! He is probably jealous of me after seeing all my women", Zhan Chen thought to himself. Second elder of the Lu n took a look at Lu Mingxi but he couldn''t think of what to say after seeing the look of innocence on her face.


    The remaining battles of the first stage ofpetetion started as soon as the Spirit pce experts arrived. There were several talented cultivators among the participating groups.


    Experts present from various powers took note of them as they battled in the first round. It took only two hours to wrap up the first stage of thepetition.


    "Little Chen, I know you are powerful but don''t be careless while fighting your opponents", Zhan Qingyue spoke. Zi Ningxi also conveyed the same with her eyes as they waited for the second stage of thepetition to begin.


    "Big sis, you can rest assure. I will keep your words in mind", Zhan Chen spoke. He bade farewell to all his women and walked towards the hill top where the participants from the Xuantian sect had gathered.


    "Zhan Chen, are you ready for the second stage?", Yin Chao asked after Zhan Chen got near the group from the Xuantian sect. Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked towards the other participants from the Xuantian sect.


    Sima Chunhua came out to greet him and Zhan Chen got busy in having a conversation with her. An expert of the Spirit pce announced the start of the second stage and the cultivators started to gather near the five stone tforms.


    "Junior brother, are you still nning to target the Heavenly sword sect?", Sima Chunhua asked Zhan Chen.


    "No, I have no such nning for the uing stage", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Thrum! Thrum! Thrum", the beating sounds of spirit drums reverberated in the air. The judges gave the signal to start the battle simultaneously and the battle begen between groups of three cultivators.


    Compared to the first stage, the battle of the second stage was more intense. All eyes went towards the five stone tforms as they witnessed the rumbling between talented cultivators.


    "Junior brother, I am going down the hill. It will be best if we can find a weaker group topete", Sima Chunhua spoke.


    Zhan Chen wished her good luck as she led her group towards the five stone tforms.


    ---------------------


    It was already afternoon when Zhan Chen led his group towards the five stone tforms. He didn''t have to manipte his group members this time as they followed him on their own.


    "Two senior brothers, please take the battle easy. I will handle the opponents if they proved to be difficult for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Junior brother, don''t worry. We will do as much as we can to help you", his two group members replied.


    They had to wait a little as all the five stone tforms were upied. Zhan Chen stepped on a battle tform as soon as it got vacated by thepeteting participants.


    Another group followed after them and it was a group of two young men and one girl. They brought out their weapons and looked at Zhan Chen''s direction.


    "Zhan Chen, everyone is talking about youtely. As a man who loves sword, how can I miss this opportunity?", the leader of the opposition spoke.


    "You want a sword fight?", Zhan Chen asked his opponent.


    "Yes, I want a fair sword fight and I can guarantee that my group members will not interfere in our battle", the leader of the opponent group spoke.


    "Tell me your name. We can have a proper sword fight where no one will interfere in our battle", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Canghai Wei", the leader of the opposition announced his name and took a fighting stance.


    Zhan Chen took out his sword and a battle began between them as soon as the judge gave his signal.


    "ng", both of their swords collided with eachother as Canghai Wei chose to do a close range battle with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen responded in kind as he had no problem with a long rang or close range battle. He defended himself easily as Canghai Wei rained his attacks towards him.


    "Chop, stab, swing", Canghai Wei tried all of his skills but Zhan Chen easily defended himself from his attacks.


    "It will be difficult to defeat you with pure swordsmanship. In that case allow me to use my cultivation", Canghai Wei spoke after stopping his fierce attacks.


    "Show me your best. You can''t push me without getting serious", Zhan Chen replied nonchntly.<sub> </sub>


    Canghai Wei nodded his head and stepped back few steps. Then he swung his sword towards Zhan Chen as a long fire serpent crashed towards Zhan Chen.


    "Fire element affinity", Zhan Chen smiled slightly and swung his sword. An energy sh flew towards the fire serpent and collided with its body.


    "Boom", there was a small explosion as the fire sted off in the air. A wary expression appeared on two Xuantian sect cultivators after witnessing such a battle.


    They looked at their opponents and a helpless look appeared on their faces. It had been sometime but they couldn''t manage to push their opponents a single step.


    "You two should stop here. Otherwise, it will be dangerous for you if youe in the range of elder brother Canghai", the other male cultivator from the opponent group spoke.


    Both the cultivators from the Xuantian sect looked at eachother as an undecided look appeared on their faces. They were thinking what to do when they saw what Wei Canghai was doing.


    "You two, don''t stand there. Otherwise, you will got cut in the explosion", Zhan Chen shouted. Both of them nodded their heads and dashed towards the edge of the stone tform.


    Wei Canghai was floating in the air now as he was propped up by two enormous wings. Wings were made up of fire as they helped Wei Canghai in floating in the mid air.


    "Such a rare technique", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and swung his sword. An energy sh went flying towards Canghai Wei as he wanted to see his response.


    Canghai Wei dodged the attack of Zhan Chen swiftly and swung his sword. A gigantic bird shaped fire crashed towards Zhan Chen after heunched his attack.


    Zhan Chen used movement technique and dodged his attack. He swung his sword once again andunched an attack towards Canghai Wei.


    It was an attack much faster than before. Canghai Wei caught off guard slightly as the attack of Zhan Chen zoomed past his shoulder.


    A look of seriousness appeared on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was as nonchnt as before but Canghai Wei knew how dangerous he could be if situation demanded.


    "I have to wrap this battle early. Otherwise, my disadvantage will be widened up", he thought to himself.


    Canghai Wei took a spin in the air andunched an whirlwind sh towards Zhan Chen. It was a revolving ring of fire which crashed towards Zhan Chen.


    "Windbreaker sword", Zhan Chen shouted and swung his sword towards the revolving ring of fire. A huge sh came out from his sword and crashed on the revolving ring of fire.


    Unlike his previous attacks, this attack didn''t sted off the fire. Rather it cut the revolving ring of fire in two.


    His attack didn''t stop there and zoomed towards the body of Canghai Wei. Canghai Wei hurried brought down his sword but it could offer little resistance.


    His sword got deflected from his hand as the attacknded on the body. The crowd was watching in a stupor as Zhan Chen finally emerged victorious in a long drawn battle.


    Contrary to crowd''s expectation, Canghai Wei stood up after few moments. Blood was seeping out of the corners of his mouth as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, I admit my inferiority. This attack of yours can probably stop a mid Martial ascension realm expert", he spoke and dragged his injured body towards the edge of the ring.


    "Zhan Chen, we will meet again", he spoke before leaving the stone tform.


    "Sure, you can find me in the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen replied.


    He stashed off his sword and left the battlefield calmly amidst the loud cheer from the audience. He felt some formidable soul senses scanning his body but he stayed calm. He knew the peculianess of the diagram world. So, he was confident that no one could see through his body no matter how they try.


    Zhan Chen walked towards Lu n''s group after finishing the battle. His head was already busy in drawing n for the night''s adventure.


    He managed to have a good time with Shen Ruyan, Ling ''er and Su''er but he had yet to see Liu Nanxi. She was cultivating when he visited Shen Ruyan ''s room.


    There were also eldest princess Zi Nuan, the beautiful manager of the Golden leaf pavilion- Zhou Xiaoling and Lu Mingxi with whom he had just cultivated once.


    "There are so many things to do. I really am a busy person. Everyone is wondering about my talent but no one knows how many hard work I have to do every day", Zhan Chen thought to himself shamelessly.


    He had no idea that even gods would die of anger if they found out about the thoughts of a shameless man like him.

 Chapter 257 Dilemma Of Li Yan

    "Aunt Shiyu, have you seen that? This brat is definitely one of the heaven defying genius of the Zhan n", the bewitching princess from the imperial Xie family spoke.


    She turned her head and looked at the expert standing beside her. "Father was right. He will be a major headache in the future if we left him unchecked", she further added.


    "Princess, shall I take care of him after thepetetion?", the expert asked.


    "No, it will be a blunder. We don''t know which expert from the Zhan n is guarding him from the shadow", the bewitching princess shook her head.


    "Then what do you suggest?", the expert asked the princess.


    "Nothing for now. We should let him do as he please for the time being. The matter at hand is more important than the emergence of the Zhan n", the princess replied. The expert beside her nodded her head and stayed silent.


    ------------------


    Everyone said good bye to eachother after reaching the Rosewood inn. Lu Tai Cang stayed a little more as he had few matters to discuss with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen bade him farewell after a while and walked towards the main hall. Soft giggles could be heard from the outside as Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun were talking with eachother.


    "Where are others?", he asked after not seeing any of his woman except Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun.


    "They have left already", Sun Xiun replied."They are quick to escape", Zhan Chen shook his head with a speechless look on his face.


    "Well, doesn''t matter even if they hide. But I can start with you two today", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Both of the women felt pleasantly surprised as their faces reddened. Sun Xiun weed Zhan Chen to her room and Lin Xintong followed along.


    "You two seem to getting along well", Zhan Chen smirked and pulled both of them into his embrace. He pressed his lips on the soft lips of Sun Xiun and gave her a dominating kiss.


    He turned to Lin Xintong next and tasted her saliva. Both of the beauties were breathless by the time he let them go.


    "Undress eachother. Let me see if there are any changes to your bodies", Zhan Chenmanded as an evil glint appeared on his face.


    Both of the women obeyed hismand shyly and took out eachother''s clothes with reddened cheeks. Zhan Chen undressed himself and walked towards the naked beauties.


    "Girls, lie on your back. Let me give you two a massage before we begin", he spoke to Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun.


    Both of them nodded their heads and climbed the bed. Theyy on their back and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    It had been days since he had tried the massage skills. So, he wanted to use those skills on Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong and see their response.


    His hand moved across their bodies without touching any hidden spots. He massaged their necks, the area below their chest and their belly region.


    Initially they feltfortable but gradually they became aroused. Erotic moans came out of their mouths as Zhan Chen massaged their pleasure nerves.


    Both if them finally couldn''t hold back themselves when Zhan Chen started to massage their thighs. Two stream of holy water came out from their secret gardens while Zhan Chen was kneading their thighs.


    "Young master, you are a genius", Lin Xintong spoke with a look of admiration on her face. Sun Xiun was also of same opinion after experiencing Zhan Chen''s massage.


    "The profound art of dual cultivation is really something! Even two beauties of Martial ascension realm can''tst five minutes with its methods", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Two beauties sat up after few moments and looked towards Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    He felt expectant look on his dragon after few moments. The culprits were Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun who were staring at his dragon with desire filled eyes.


    "Well, you two seems quite eager. In that case I don''t have to do much", Zhan Chen spoke and chose to lie between the two beauties.<sub> </sub>


    His dragon was proudly pointing it''s head towards the heaven as it waited for the beauties to shower it with love.


    "Gulp", a soft sound came out from Lin Xintong ''s throat as she couldn''t wait anymore. She knelt down beside Zhan Chen and brought her mouth towards the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Sun Xiun also joined her and both of the girls did their best to satisfy Zhan Chen. A look of enjoyment appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he enjoyed both of their care and love.


    "Well, it should be enough for now. Stand on your four", Zhan Chen spoke. Both of the girls understood immediately what he meant and exposed their buttocks for Zhan Chen to see.


    Both of them had overgrown assets and it was clearly to the liking of Zhan Chen."Pah", he pped the buttock of Sun Xiun as a look of enjoyment appeared on her face. He used his other hand and gave a simr p to Lin Xintong. Both of the women enjoyed the light pain as tremors ran across their beautiful back.


    "Fine, brace yourself now", Zhan Chen spoke and pointed his spear towards the cave of Lin Xintong.


    "Aahh~", Lin Xintong moaned as Zhan Chen prated her with a deep thrust of his dragon. He grabbed both of her thighs and started to move his waist.


    After bearing quite a few thrustings, Lin Xintong finally felt weak in her knees. A look of ecstacy appeared on her face as she released a stream of yin water. Zhan Chen let her go and moved towards Sun Xiun. Her treatment was also the same as she let out the moans of fulfillment.


    Zhan Chen left their room after he took care of both of the girls. His main target was the eldest princess, Zi Nuan who seemed to be avoiding him in purpose.


    He sent his soul consciousness to check out his other girls and a frown appeared on his face.


    "Li Yan! What is wrong with her?", he creased his brows after seeing what Li Yan was doing. She was lying on her bed with a lifeless look on her face. She seemed to be deep in thought as a look of helplessness and confusion adorned her face. There were tear stains on her face and Zhan Chen was clear that she was crying not long ago.


    "What is she doing?", he frowned and walked towards Li Yan''s room. His little brother was still raging but it admitted defeat infront of his deep concern for Li Yan.


    "Knock, knock", the knocking sound came from the door and it brought Li Yan out of her stupor. She hurriedly wiped her eyes and went towards the door.


    "Zhan Chen!", she felt surprise after seeing Zhan Chen infront of her room.


    "Shall we talk inside?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan. Li Yan nodded her head and weed Zhan Chen inside her room.


    She felt slightly nervous as Zhan Chen walked inside. She pointed towards a chair and Zhan Chen sat on it.


    "Calm down. Sit on your bed first", Zhan Chen spoke with an irrefutable tone. Li Yan didn''t know why but her heart calmed down a little after she heard the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Tell me, what is the problem? You seemed to be crying a while ago?", Zhan Chen asked.


    Li Yan wanted to deny immediately but for some reason she couldn''t lie to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was looking at her with prating eyes and Li Yan felt like, she could hide nothing infront of his piercing eyes.


    She avoided the eye contact and looked down. Her eyes became moistened once again as she had no reply for Zhan Chen''s question.


    ''Why, she is crying?'', She was not sure herself. It was for the failure or the disappoint in herself, she didn''t know.


    Zhan Chen frowned after seeing her sitting silently. "Forget it, I will take a look myself", he thought to himself and used the Heart peering technique.


    All her thoughts, all her desire became naked infront of Zhan Chen. A tender look appeared on his face after he saw through her thoughts.


    "She wants to walk side by side with me. She do not desire my sympathy, she crave for my recognition. I should have understood this much after traveling with her for such a long time", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Genius women were proud in nature and Li Yan was not an exception. She liked Zhan Chen but she couldn''t tell it simply like Li Shu did. She wanted to gain his recognition first before baring her feeling to him.


    "Women are aplicated species. That''s why I don''t want to go through the troublesome process of love. It is much easier if I use my charm technique on them", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 258 A Simple Solution

    Li Yan noticed the gentle gaze of Zhan Chen towards her and her heart started to race. She saw Zhan Chen walking towards her step by step as nervousness gripped her heart.


    Zhan Chen raised her chin by her hand and wiped her eyes. Then he made her stand up gently and looked into her eyes.


    Li Yan tried to look away but her body didn''t listen to hermand. She was forced to make an eye contact as a supressed emotion welled up in her heart.


    "Li Yan, you are thinking too much. Things should not be this muchplicated", Zhan Chen spoke as he looked at her eyes.


    He pulled her body towards him slightly and brought his face towards her lips. A soft feeling came to his lips after he got connected with Li Yan.


    Li Yan stood frozen as her mind went nk. She could only feel the masculine and tender feelinging from her lips. Zhan Chen didn''t take long and let her go after a while. A smile appeared on his face after he saw her standing shell shocked.


    "Li Yan, what you want to tell me is this simple. Now let me see your cultivation technique which you are practicing currently", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Li Yan took few moments to calm down as a red blush appeared on her face. She separated herself from Zhan Chen and took a look at him. Zhan Chen had his easygoing appearance as always and it soothed her mind.


    She took out a small booklet from her storage bag and handed it to Zhan Chen. ''Core revolution technique'' was written on the book which she handed over to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen turned the pages rapidly and studied the technique she was following. A contemting look appeared on his face as he thought of modifying her technique.


    He asked for an essence scroll to Li Yan and she took it out immediately from her storage bag. Zhan Chen used his essence energy as ink and started to write suitable cultivation method for Li Yan.


    "Check the technique I have written for you. It will suit you bestpared to your previous technique", Zhan Chen spoke and handed over the essence scroll to Li Yan.


    Li Yan found it unbelievable that Zhan Chen could modify a technique in such a short period. She didn''t want to disappoint Zhan Chen. So, she took the scroll and had a look at it.


    A look of amazement appeared in her eyes as she read a few lines. She tried to clear her mind from all distractions and got busy in reading the scroll.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head from the side after seeing how attentive she had be. Her dedicated nature towards the cultivation what he liked most about her. He left her room quitely and went towards another direction. Night was long and he had many matters to take care of in a single night.


    -------------------


    "Knock, knock", Zi Nuan heard a sound from the door while she was cultivating. She had a premonition in her heart. So, she didn''t go towards the door immediately.


    "Knock, knock", the sound came again and she couldn''t ignore it anymore. She stood up and walked towards the door.


    "Princess, you are so heartless. How can you let me suffer infront of your door?", Zhan Chen spoke with a teasing look on his face.


    ? Zi Nuan gave him an angry re and and looked outside to see if anyone was eavesdropping on their conversation. A relieved look appeared on her face after she saw there was no one in the corridor.


    She pulled Zhan Chen inside hurriedly and close the door. An angered look appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "What are you trying to do?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "Can''t I visit my woman?", Zhan Chen looked at her.


    "But there is Ningxi and Qingyue. It will be embarassing if they came to know about it", Zi Nuan exined.


    "I don''t care. I needpensation", Zhan Chen spoke. A fire lit up in his heart as he stared at the wless body of Zi Ningxi.


    "Well!", Zi Ningxi couldn''t find any words after seeing Zhan Chen bing so unreasonable. A shy look appeared on her face after she saw the heated look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "You can''t escape today", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled her closer. He lowered his head and nted an agressive kiss on Zi Nuan''s lips.


    Zi Nuan had the beauty bone. So, she was a natural enticement for any functional male and a dual cultivation treasure. Zhan Chen could control his desire infront of anyone but it became difficult when it came to Zi Nuan.<sub> </sub>


    "Princess, do you like me?", he asked her after letting go of her lips. Zi Nuan nodded her head shyly and tried to look away.


    "Princess, then can I be little rougher today?", he asked Zi Nuan with an expectant look on his face. No matter how he wanted to supress his desire, he knew it would be difficult to control his urges. So, he wanted to inform her first before starting the dual cultivation.


    "Mmm, you can do as you please but try not to


    hurt yourself", Zi Nuan spoke. Zhan Chen felt like something exploded in his mind after he heard her reply.


    He gave another kiss on Zi Nuan''s lips and looked at her eyes. "Princess, to tell you the truth, I can''t control myself infront of your beauty. You have such natural charm that it is impossible to supress myself", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Am I really beautiful?", Zi Nuan asked. Zhan Chen nodded his head and gave another kiss on her lips.


    He lifted her up and brought her towards the bed. His breathing became hurried as her exquisite body appeared infront of his eyes.


    Every inch of her body was a dual cultivation treasure. Her skin was milky white and it felt so good to touch that Zhan Chen didn''t want to remove his hand from her body.


    He kissed her neck and finallyid his eyes on her beautiful peaks. They were exquisitely made and the towering peaks looked enticing with the red cherries on their top.


    "Nnnnn~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen bit upon one of her peaks. He used his tongue to circle around her cherry and bit on its top.


    A soft teeth mark was left on her nipple as it became more prominent and erect.


    Zhan Chen moved further down and kissed her navel. Her body arched up slightly in response to his soft kisses. Zhan Chen got encouraged by her soft responses and went further down.


    "Ahhhh~", Zi Nuan moaned softly as Zhan Chen inved her sacred cave with his tongue. Her body shivered slightly as she felt something building up inside her sacred cave.


    "Zhan Chen, stop~", she cried out charmingly but Zhan Chen didn''t give any attention to her request. He continued to assault her sacred cave with his tongue and Zi Nuan shivered in pleasure. Finally, she couldn''t hold back herself and let out a stream of her yin water inside Zhan Chen ''s mouth.


    Zhan Chen gulped the fragrant water and looked at the beauty with desire filled eyes. He let her catch some breath. Then he asked her to get on her all fours.


    Zi Nuanplied with his wish with a reddened hue on her face. Zhan Chen admired the view for few moments. Then, he pointed his dragon towards her wet cave.


    He rubbed his dragon a few times on her entrance. Then he slid it into her hole. Her cave felt tight as it was only her second meet with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen grabbed one of her butt cheeks and started to move. He felt incrediy good as the wall of Zi Nuan''s cave gripped his dragon.


    He moved continuously and Zi Nuan let out moans of fulfillment and ecstacy.Her proud peaks swayed in the air in tandem with his waist.


    She felt like she was reaching her peak after bearing the continuous bombardment of Zhan Chen''s dragon. But Zhan Chen was not willing to let her go so easily.


    He withdrew his dragon and pointed it slightly upward. Zi Nuan''s eyes became wide with surprise as she immediately understood what Zhan Chen was doing.


    "Zhan Chen, what are you doing?", she asked. Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon over her closed entrance and looked at her with wild desire.


    "Princess, Can I?", she asked her with burning eyes.


    "Mmm~", she nodded her head shyly and looked away. Zhan Chen didn''t wait any longer and pressed his dragon on her tight entrance.


    Zi Nuan felt a different kind of sensation as Zhan Chen entered her slowly. It felt immoral but for some reason she was looking forward to do it.


    Zhan Chen moved his hips slowly and a surge of pleasure washed over her body. She moaned lightly and enjoyed the feeling of Zhan Chen entering her back.


    Zhan Chen started to increase his pace and she finally couldn''t hold herself. Her eyes rolled over as a huge stream of yin water trickled out from her cave.

 Chapter 259 My Queen

    Lu Mingxi was lying on her bed with a restless look on her face. She was expecting Zhan Chen but there was also a fear in her heart that Zhan Chen would be caught by the second elder while sneaking into her room.


    "What should I do?", she murmured to herself as the feeling of restlessness became unbearable at some point. She had never felt such a feeling where she would be troubled so greatly by the absence of another person.


    "I will tell second elder the truth if he caught Zhan Chen. It is shameful but I can''t let any harm inflicted upon him by a member of my n", she thought to herself.


    "But what if Zhan Chen didn''te?", she thought to herself as inner turmoil gripped her heart.


    What she didn''t know that the person in question was busy pounding a princess while she was being troubled by his absense.


    "Ahhhh~"


    "Mmmm~", Zi Nuan continued to moan as Zhan Chen drilled her forbidden zone with his dragon. He switched to her sacred garden after a while and made her cave watery again.


    A fragrant smell wanted in the air as she let out her yin water once again. She couldn''t support herself by her hands anymore as she fell t on her belly.


    Zhan Chen grabbed Zi Nuan by her waist and turned her body. It made her look at him as he enjoyed the blissful look on her face.


    "Princess, can you please use your mouth?", Zhan Chen looked at Zi Nuan with a burning look on his face. She threw a passing nce at his raging dragon and nodded her head with reddened cheeks.


    She wanted to sit up but Zhan Chen stopped her. He asked her to continue to lie down and brought his dragon towards her face.


    Zi Nuan opened her mouth unconsciously and Zhan Chen shoved his dragon inside her mouth. A heavenly feeling came to his mind as his dragon stay trapped inside Zi Nuan''s mouth.


    He was already at his peak by the time he had withdrawn his dragon from her cave. Her choking reaction added to his pleasure as he finally let go of his yang essence.


    A huge amount of yang essence came out from his dragon and entered the throat of Zi Nuan. Zhan Chen had a satisfied look on his face as he removed his dragon from Zi Nuan''s mouth.


    "Princess, do you have an essence scroll with you?", he asked Zi Nuan after she gulped down his yang essence. She nodded her head and take out one from her storage bag.


    Zhan Chen wrote the ''Yin nourishment technique'' on it and handed the scroll to Zi Nuan. "Cultivate well, your cultivation will increase if you cultivate ording to this method", Zhan Chen spoke.


    -----------------


    Midnight passed. Yet, the figure of Zhan Chen was nowhere to be seen. A disappointed look appeared on the face of Lu Mingxi as something welled up in her heart.


    She lied sliently on her bed as an abandoned feeling slowly crept into her heart. Her eyes moistened gradually as she stated at the distant sky with a nk look on her face.


    Her condition could bemonly seen in ordinary women who were love sick by the absence of their lovers. But the thing of concern was she was no ordinary woman. She was the most talented cultivator of the Lu n and her n had great expectation from her.


    Zhan Chen felt greatly surprised when he entered inside her room. She couldn''t even notice his presence as she remain focused in the turmoil of her heart.


    "What is going on?", he felt confused. An idea struck inside his mind as he chose to use Heart seeking technique on her. All her thoughts became bare infront of him as he saw through all her concerns and confusion.


    "I need to bring rity to my rtionships. Otherwise, I don''t know what is their expectations from me and it may have a negative impact on my partners", he thought to himself.


    "Mingxi", he called out softly and his voice brought Lu Mingxi out of her stupor. A surprised look appeared on her face after she saw Zhan Chen looking towards her.


    Zhan Chen walked towards her and stretched his hand to wipe her eyes. "Why are you crying?", he asked tenderly and looked towards her eyes.


    "I don''t know", Lu Mingxi spoke as she was also confused by the turmoil in her heart. She knew Zhan Chen had many women and he was staying in a far off location of the Longyang city. But despite knowing this fact, she didn''t know why she wanted to see Zhan Chen this much.


    "You have some insecurities in your heart and that is reason for your inner turmoil. We need to sort it out. Otherwise, it will affect your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Insecurities?", Lu Mingxi felt confused for a moment but it didn''t take her much time to understand what Zhan Chen was actually meant.


    "Indeed, I have some misgivings about our rtionship. But I didn''t expect it to affect me this much", she spoke after taking few moments to think.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing her mature demeanor at this moment. It was what he wanted to see in a Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator.


    Rtionship with him was a new thing for her. But he wanted her to adopt to this change quickly.


    "You found out the reason yourself. Now, let us talk about your misgivings about our rtionship", he spoke. Lu Mingxi gently nodded her head and waited for Zhan Chen to continue speaking.


    "You are uncertain about our rtionship because you have apprehension about my feelings towards you. That''s why, you became unsecure after not seeing me for this long", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No, I am not doubting you. It is just that...", Lu Mingxi tried to exin but Zhan Chen put his fingers on her lips to stop her from talking.


    "No need to exin. I can understand your difficulties. It is my fault this time for not exining the matters clearly", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Mingxi, tell me one thing. Why do you cultivate?", he looked towards Lu Mingxi.


    "Because I always wanted to be like grandpa. To be an emperor", Lu Mingxi spoke with a determined look on her face.


    "Hmm, one must need motivation for cultivation. In your case, it is your grand father", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "Do you know what is my motivation?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Mingxi.


    She shook her head as a curious look appeared on her eyes. She also wanted to know what was in the mind of scion of the mighty Zhan n.


    "I wanted to increase my cultivation rapidly because I have a debt of blood. I thought it may be my motivation in this life but I found out that was not the case.


    I want to be stronger because that is the true goal I have. To be powerful and reach the peak one day", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a yearning look on his face as he thought about the world beyond heaven. A subtle aura came out from his body and it affected the surrounding.


    "Emperor''s aura", Lu Mingxi eximed in surprise after being affected by Zhan Chen''s aura. Zhan Chen retracted his aura after few moments and looked towards Lu Mingxi. There was a look of admiration on her face as she observed him.


    "Mingxi, do you consider me as your man?", he asked Lu Mingxi. She nodded her head without hesitation and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Then, I am also promising you. You will always have a ce in my heart no matter where ever I go.


    You shall always remain my woman no matter how far I go in future", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lu Mingxi nodded her head as a bright smile appeared on her face. All of her confusion got cleared as she jumped into Zhan Chen''s embrace.


    "I will also cultivate. I don''t want to fall behind", she spoke and leaned against Zhan Chen''s chest.


    Both of them stayed in eachother''s embrace for a while when something struck Lu Mingxi ''s mind. She hurriedly separated herself and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, you need to be cautious", she spoke with a worried look on her face.


    "For what?", Zhan Chen felt confused and looked towards Lu Mingxi.


    "You have the aura of an emperor. It means you are a born ruler. Imperial Xie n will not let you live if they find out about this matter", Lu Mingxi exined.


    "You are correct. They are dangerous for me at this moment. But rest assure, soon they can''t do anything to me even if they try", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Now, my queen. Shall we go to bed?", he looked towards her with a serious look on his face.


    Lu Mingxi felt amused and nodded her head. Zhan Chen gave her a princess carry and took her towards the bed.


    Night was only half gone and rest of the night was for the couple to explore. Sweet moans could be heard from the room entire night and it was a blissful night for both of them.

 Chapter 260 Third Stage Of The Final Round

    "Zhan Chen, have you rested well?", Lu Tai Cang asked after Zhan Chen entered the main hall.


    "Yes senior, it was a rxed night yesterday", Zhan Chen replied with a calm look on his face. Zi Nuan''s face reddened immediately after hearing his shameless reply.


    "Shall we leave then?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen. All of his women were already present in the main hall. So, he nodded his head.


    Lu Tai Cang took out his flying boat and together they left towards the venue of the Grand sectpetition.


    "Longyang city is more crowded today", Lu Tai Cangmented after observing the bustling city from the sky. Zhan Chen also nodded his head as the city seemed to be flooded with powerful cultivators.


    "Several old monsters has decided to show up today. They have probablye to watch the final round of thepetition", he thought to himself.


    Lu n cultivators were already present when their group arrived near the hill. Zhan Chen greeted the second elder and went towards Lu Nanxi.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t hurt anyone from my Lu family while participating in thepetetion", Lu Mingxi spoke.


    "How can I ?", Zhan Chen chuckled and looked at her meaningfully. the second elder was suspicious of their conversation but he didn''t have right words to voice his opinion. So, he let Zhan Chen and Lu Mingxi to their own devices and waited for thepetition to begin.


    -----------------


    "Wee everyone to the final round of the grand sectpetition. Thepetition will begin immediately after the two hundred and twenty participants who are selected from the second stage of thepetition gather here", a Spirit pce expert announced.


    Zhan Chen bade farewell to his women and walked towards the five rock tforms. He stood among other participants as all of them waited for the further instruction from the Spirit pce experts.


    "We have got two hundred and twenty participants here. But we need to select top hundred among them. So, we are inviting participants to step on the battlefield and fight it out.


    Each time only two participants are allowed on the stone tform and the winner has to stay on the rock tform for epting further challenges. Those participants who are able to win three consecutive matches will be selected in the top hundred list", the Spirit pce expert announced.


    "Interesting rules. This way they can easily distinguish the strong from the weak ones", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Throng! Throng! Throng", the sound of spirit drums reverberated in the air and the third stage of the final round officially began. Unlike the other stages, no one from the participants step on the rock tform immediately.


    One needed to be wary of other cultivators in suchpetetion. So, the participants acted wisely and waited to see who was courageous enough to participate in the battle first.


    The crowd did not have to wait long as a lean young man stepped on the stone tform first. He had a calm look on his face as he observed the gathered participants.


    <o>,m Four other participants gathered courage after seeing the lean young man and walked towards the other four tforms. Five participants went forwards to challenge them and the third stage of thepetition finally began.</o>


    Crowd looked in awe as thepetition finally began. There were fierce fighting in all the five stone tforms. All the participants had simr cultivation realm. So, they had to fight it hard to defeat their opponents of simr cultivation realm.


    Zhan Chen also looked at the stone tforms with interest in his eyes. But unlike the crowd, his gaze was fixed on the lean young man who had chose to step on the stone tform first.<sub> </sub>


    The young man was wielding a spear in his hand. His opponent was attacking him fiercely but he was only defending in response to such fierce attacks.


    The crowd thought the lean young man was weak as he could barely defend himself but Zhan Chen knew what the young man was doing. He was cultivating himself amidst the challenges of the battle field.


    His opponent finally started to slow down afterunching a wave of fierce attacks. The lean young man finally decided to take action and stabbed his spear towards his opponent.


    His opponent had simr cultivation realm but he found it hard to defend against the in stab of the spear. He hurriedly brought forward his sword and had to take few steps backward to stabilize himself.


    The lean young man stayed calm all the time. He didn''t attack his opponent immediately even though his opponent failed into disadvantage after his attack.


    His opponent got a hold of himself andunched another wave of attack towards the lean young man. This time his attacks were more relentless as he was trying to knock off the lean young man.


    Everyone thought the lean young man would be defeated for sure but a look of admiration appeared on the face of Zhan Chen for the first time. It had been long since he admired someone.


    The young man was not a good warrior but he had the mentality of a steady cultivator. His spear skills were not so impressive but what was impressive about him was his state of mind.


    The battle between the lean young man and his opponent continued for a very long time. Finally his opponent was sapped out of all of his essence energy and chose to admit defeat. The lean young man nodded his head towards his opponent and waited for the other participants.


    "Only twenty three years old yet already achieved the state of one with nature! Pretty impressive", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He shifted his gaze towards another stone tform because he noticed a familiar figure among the warring participants. The familiar looking cultivator was Sima Chunhua from the Xuantian sect.


    "She is early to the battle but with her talent it should be easy for her", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He watched the battle for few more moments and then decided to step on the rock tform.


    He chose the middle tform and walked towards it. Another cultivator was trying to step on the same tform of his choice but he stopped for some reason after seeing Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen walked forward calmly and stepped on the middle tform. There was a cultivator waiting for him with a sword in his hand.


    He attacked Zhan Chen immediately even before Zhan Chen could take out his sword. His aim was to defeat him while he was unprepared.


    Zhan Chen used the Cloud chasing steps and moved away from his position. His opponent struck thin air when he swung his sword aiming at his body.


    Zhan Chen swiftly took out the sword of Lu Mingxi from his spatial ring and looked towards his opponent. He had a small smile on his face as he looked towards his wary opponent.


    "Shall we begin?", he asked his opponent who was standing opposite to him. His opponent nodded his head and a sword fight began between both of the man.


    "ng! ng", both of their swords collided as Zhan Chen easily fended off the attacks of his opponent. He stabbed his sword forward and his opponent had to back away a little to save himself.

 Chapter 261 An Intense Battle

    Zhan Chen threw a look at the participants after defeating his first opponent. He was curious to know who would be the second.


    Majority of the participants chose to ignore him because they had some information about his prowess. They knew that he had never felt any difficulty in defeating his opponents.


    The most ring thing about him was he was only eighteen years old yet he could fight effortlessly with the cultivators at peak Core condensation realm.


    This information was already leaked to all of the participants. So, they were wary of facing him in a battle.


    Zhan Chen felt bored after standing for a while. "Senior, what should we do if none of theme to challenge me?", he asked the judge from the Spirit pce.


    "Zhan Chen, you need to keep calm for a while. We have already known that majority of the participants will choose to avoid the monstrous geniuses. There are quite a few this time and your potential makes you one of them", the expert of the Spirit pce replied.


    "Quite a few monstrous geniuses! Thepetition will be interesting then", Zhan Chen chuckled.


    He was having a conversation with the Spirit pce expert when he felt something. A masked cultivator chose to step on the stone tform where he was standing.


    "Zhan Chen, your wait is finally over. Let me see how do you handle this opponent?", the expert from the Spirit pcemented. He gave the signal to begin and the battle between Zhan Chen and his opponent started.


    "Zhan Chen, you will die today", the masked young man spoke.


    "Oh, really?", Zhan Chen felt amused. He looked at the masked young man with interest and took out his sword from his spatial ring.


    "Tell me. How am I going to die?", he looked towards the masked young man. The masked young man smiled deviously in response and his figure blurred.


    Before the spectators could react he was already approaching Zhan Chen with an odd looking sword in his hand.


    The sword looked like a demonic de as it had an uneven tip. Such sword would give more pain to a victim if his or her body got pierced by the odd looking sword.


    The masked young man suddenly jumped into air and lunged towards Zhan Chen with the odd looking sword in his hand. Zhan Chen brought his sword forward and swung at the direction of the masked young man.


    ''ng'', both of their swords collided and Zhan Chen had to move back two steps to bnce his body from such an impact.


    The masked man backed away after not seeding with his sudden attack.He again used his strange movement technique and lunged towards Zhan Chen with his sword in the hand.


    Their battle continued as Zhan Chen only defended himself for a while. He was in no hurry to attack because he was observing the strange movement technique of the masked man.


    The judge felt something and looked towards the masked man warily. It was because the surrounding area was slowly being affected by the vicious aura of the masked man.


    "This young man! Cultivating such a demonic method! I wonder how much he had killed in the past to cultivate such a technique", the judge thought to himself.


    The masked man became more frantic as the battle progressed. Zhan Chen ''s women started to be worried as the battle continued for more than the expected time.


    "Big sis, will he be okay?", Zi Ningxi asked warily. Zhan Qingyue also had a worried look on her face as she witnessed the battle between Zhan Chen and the masked man.<sub> </sub>


    Contrary to the judge''s expectation, Zhan Chen was not even slightly affected by the strange technique of the masked man. The masked man could have easily influenced any other Core condensation realm cultivator but he was unfortunate that he was fighting Zhan Chen.


    The masked man also noticed the indifference of Zhan Chen towards his technique. "You are indeed a troublesome opponent. But rest assured. This battle will be your final battle no matter how much you struggle", the masked man spoke.


    "You seem very confident?", Zhan Chen looked at the masked man with interest. The masked man only grinned in response as a glint appeared in his eyes.


    "Blood sacrifice technique", he murmured lightly and looked towards Zhan Chen. A frown appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after he saw the maniac look on the eyes of the masked man.


    The masked man swung his sword and a gigantic energy de flew towards Zhan Chen. The attack was very quick as it appeared before Zhan Chen even before he could blink.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have any time to defend. So, he moved away hurriedly from his ce. A long cut mark appeared on the stone surface where he was standing.


    The masked young man didn''t want to give any time to Zhan Chen. So, heunched another attack. This time Zhan Chen responded with one of his own as both of their attacks collided in the mud air.


    "Both of them have already exceeded the level of Core condensation realm. The masked young man is strange but the the real monstrous one is this brat from the Zhan n", the judge thought to himself.


    The masked young man gradually started to lose momentum as his eyes started to be dull. His face was deathly pale by the time he defended a casual attack from Zhan Chen.


    "Sacrificing life blood to temporarily increase cultivation. Looks like you are really keen to kill me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "It is a given that you need to die. Otherwise, I can''t think of the consequences if I let you live", the masked young man spoke.


    "Everyone have their own concerns. So, let me see what more you can pull out to fight me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You will not be disappointed", the masked man replied and lunged towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen swung his sword in response as both of their swords collided.


    What happened next was out of everyone''s expectations as the masked man let go of his odd looking sword. He moved in a strange manner and closed the distance between himself and Zhan Chen.


    A decisive look appeared on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen. "Zhan Chen, it is the end", he spoke and threw something towards the ground.


    Zhan Chen ''s expression changed suddenly as he back stepped immediately. A huge explosion came out from the ce where both of them were standing.


    The spectators in the surrounding were in shock as they saw the huge fireing out from the stone tform. A disheaveled figure flew out from the stone tform just after the explosion was heard.


    "Crazy bastard. Are you trying to kill me along with the Zhan n brat", the voice of the Spirit pce judge could be heard in the surrounding.


    The battle on the other tforms stopped as everyone was looking at the middle tform with shock in their eyes. The fire was still raging on as nothing could be seen except the yellowish fire and the smoke in the air.


    "Brother Hongbo, are you alright?", the other judges from the Spirit pce flew towards the middle stone tform. All of their eyes were on the middle stone tform as the me started to subside.

 Chapter 262 Entering The Top Hundred

    The raging me started to subside and the crowd finally able to see the corners of the stone tform. A figure appeared infront of them who was standing on the edge of the battle tform.


    "A close call. I am fortunate that I am already in the Martial ascension realm. If I was still in the Core condensation realm, then I would have to use my soul strength to protect myself and that would have exposed my greatest secret infront of countless experts!", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He was pondering about the consequences when his figure reappeared infront of the crowd. A look of awe and surprise appeared in the eyes of crowd as they witnessed the uninjured figure of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen came out of his reverie and looked towards the center of the explosion. The masked man was lying motionlessly at the center of the explosion.


    His whole body was burnt to extreme and no one could tell whether he was alive or dead. The most striking thing about him was his mask. It was still attached to his face despite being burntpletely.


    "Senior, can you send his body to the Lu n''s side?", Zhan Chen looked towards the judge from the Spirit pce.


    The Spirit pce expert was still in shock. So, he didn''t replied to him immediately. One of the other four Spirit pce experts responded to his question and asked a Spirit pce cultivator to take the masked man away.


    "Tell the Lu n to preserve his life. If he survives somehow, then his life will belong to my Zhan n", Zhan Chen spoke to the Spirit pce cultivator who hade to bring the masked man away.


    "Zhan Chen, how did you do this?", the judge from the Spirit pce asked. He had a curious look on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, it is only a small trick that I have managed to pull off. Such a trick wouldn''t have worked if it was a genuine attack from a Martial ascension realm expert", Zhan Chen replied.


    Other Spirit pce experts observed him for few moments before returning to their own stone tforms. Thepetition resumed once again but the eyes of the crowd never left Zhan Chen for a second.


    "What a monstrous brat! How did he survive such an explosion?", the second elder of the Lu n murmured to himself. Lu Tai Cang smiled slightly after hearing the words of second elder of their n.


    Unlike other cultivators, he was not that surprised by the miraculous escape of Zhan Chen. He was already acquainted with some of his mysterious capabilities. So, the result of the battle didn''t bring much surprise to him.


    "I know such a thing would never kill him. But what did he do at that exact moment?", Lu Tai Cang thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen waited for his third opponent but none of the cultivators wanted to face him after seeing the result of his second match.


    "Senior, what if none of theme to challenge me?", Zhan Chen pointed at the gathered cultivators.


    "Let''s wait for a while. If none of theme to challenge you then you will be automatically promoted to the top hundred list", the Spirit pce expert replied.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat down on the stone tform. He closed his eyes and started to circte the Celestial yin yang sutra.


    The energy from the sun was absorbed by his body and the divine yin yang diagram turned it into purest form of yang energy. All of his fatigue gradually faded and Zhan Chen started to feel more energetic after cultivating for a while.


    Thepetition progressed on the other four tforms while he was cultivating. The Spirit pce expert finally lost his patience and promoted Zhan Chen to the top hundred list.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes after a while and thanked the Spirit pce expert. He found someone beckoning at him when he left the stone tform.<sub> </sub>


    "Hello senior sister, how are you doing?", Zhan Chen greeted Sima Chunhua after reaching near her.


    "Junior brother, you are amazing. How did you manage to protect yourself in such a situation?", she asked after seeing Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, it is only a trick. I used a movement technique and conjured an essence energy shield to protect myself from the impact", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Are you telling the truth?", Sima Chunhua looked at him with a questioning look on her face.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head innocently as he was not fooling Sima Chunhua at all. He used Cloud Chasing steps to get away from the center of the explosion. After that he hurriedly put up an essence energy shield to protect himself from the all epassing fire.


    "Senior sister, when are you going to step on the stone tform?", he asked to Sima Chunhua.


    "I will wait for a while. I am still not sure if I can defeat all three opponents I am going to face", Sima Chunhua replied.


    Both of them were talking among themselves when something caught the eyes of Sima Chunhua. "Look, it is senior sister", she spoke to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen turned his head and found the icy beauty from the Xuantian sect walking towards a distant tform. She still had her icy demeanor as she stepped on the battle tform.


    "Jia Lingyi!", a nervous look appeared on the face of her opponent after he saw the icy beauty stepping on the stone tform. Many participants in the crowd also turned their heads after seeing the icy beauty challenging a participant.


    "She seems popr?", Zhan Chen asked with a curious look on his face.


    "Have you never heard about senior sister before?", Sima Chunhua asked.


    Zhan Chen shook his head in reply. "I have only heard about Lu Wentian from the Heavenly sword sect. There is also a young master of Huo n who is dead set on getting Ruyan", Zhan Chen added.


    "Are you talking about Shen Ruyan? The grand daughter of the Shen n patriarch!", Sima Chunhua asked. There was a look of shock in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I have travelled with Shen n group while crossing the Shredded mountain region", Zhan Chen informed.


    "Ohh, now I understand. It is good that you are merely an acquaintance with the cursed beauty of the Shen n", Sima Chunhua spoke.


    "Cursed!", a frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard the term used for Shen Ruyan.


    "Junior brother, we will talk about Shen Ruyan some other time. Now, let''s see the Snow sword technique of senior sister Jingyi", Sima Chunhua spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked towards the stone tform where Jia Lingyi was fighting.

 Chapter 263 The Talent Of Jia Lingyi

    Zhan Chen had already seen through the cultivation of Jia Lingyi in their first meeting. She was only twenty five yet her cultivation had already reached second stage of the Martial ascension realm. Now, he was curious to see her battle skills.


    The cultivator opposite her had a nervous look on his face. But he still decided to confront Jia Lingyi despite the obvious differenve between their talents.


    "Fairy Lingyi, I am Bai Hongbo from the Windcloud sect. Please go easy on me while fighting", the cultivator spoke before the fight began. Jia Lingyi nodded her head slightly and looked towards the expert from the Spirit pce.


    The judge gave the signal and fight began between the two participants. Bai Hongbo was the first to initiate the battle. He swung his sword and a long sh came flying towards Jia Lingyi.


    "Wind element!", Zhan Chen murmured softly after seeing the attack of Bai Hongbo. Jia Lingyi reacted swiftly and defended herself from the attack of her opponent.


    Bai Hongbo swung his sword once again and another attack came flying towards Jia Lingyi. This time the attack was more swift as it approached the location of Jia Lingyi with a breathtaking speed.


    Jia Lingyi swiftly side stepped and dodged the attack in a graceful manner. A frigid aura started to came out of her body as she pointed her sword towards Bai Hongbo.


    "Seven flowers of morning snow", she spoke softly and swung her sword towards Bai Hongbo. Bai Hongbo hurriedly tried to dodge and used a movement technique to step away.


    Seven beautiful looking snow flowers appeared in the air and crashed on the location where Bai Hongbo was standing. Bai Hongbo managed to dodge almost all the flowers but the leftmost flower cut open a wound on his waist.


    Ayer of frost appeared on his wound soon after and Bai Hongbo felt a spine chilling feelinging from his waist. He looked towards Jia Lingyi and a resigned look appeared on his face.


    "Fairy Lingyi, I still want topete for the top hundred list. So, I can''t fight with you any longer", he spoke and jumped down from the stone tform.


    An expert from his sect flew down from the hills to check upon his wound. A loud apuse came from the crowd after Bai Hongbo left. There was a look of appeareciation on everyone''s face after they witnessed the beautiful technique of Jia Lingyi.


    "Junior brother, are you nning topete for the top ten position?", Sima Chunhua asked.


    "What do you think?", Zhan Chen asked her a mysterious expression on his face.


    "I have a feeling that you will defeat almost everyone in thispetetion. There will be only a select few who can stop you in this battle", Sima Chunhua replied with a smile on her face.


    -----------------


    A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw the downcast look on the face of Zhan Qingyue. "She most be thinking about her body condition", he thought to himself.


    <o>,m "Knock, knock", Zhan Qingyue heard the sounding from her door. She came out of her reverie and walked towards the door to open it.</o>


    "Ah! little Chen", she eximed in surprise after seeing Zhan Chen infront of her door. Zhan Chen stepped inside her room and closed the door. A gentle look appeared on his face as he looked towards Zhan Qingyue.


    "Big sis, what are you thinking now?", he asked Zhan Qingyue.


    "No, I have not been thinking anything now", Zhan Qingyue hurriedly tried to deny the spection of Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    "Big sis, do you think you can lie to me?", Zhan Chen asked tenderly. Both of their eyes met and he leaned forward for a kiss.


    Zhan Qingyue''s lips had a very soft feeling and Zhan Chen relished it with a slow yet passionate kiss. He invaded her mouth after a while and tasted her saliva with his tongue.


    Zhan Qingyue couldn''t stay confused for long as she started to respond. Her tongue coiled around Zhan Chen''s own as they conveyed eachother ''s feelings with their tongues.


    There was a look of desire on Zhan Qingyue''s face when both of them separated their lips from eachother. "Little Chen, I like you", she spoke while Zhan Chen was looking at her.


    "I know", Zhan Chen added and leaned forward for another kiss on her lips. He had a special feeling for her and he expressed it with a passionate kiss on her lips.


    "Little Chen, stay with me for now", Zhan Qingyue spoke softly after she shared her second kiss with Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked at her with tender affection in his eyes.


    "Big sis, I want to see you", he spoke after staring at her for a while. Zhan Qingyue nodded her head shyly and untied her robe. Her slender figure came to the view of Zhan Chen after she took off her long robe.


    Zhan Chen wrapped his hand around her slender waist and pulled her closer. He shared another kiss with her while his hand roamed around her sleeky back.


    Zhan Qingyue ''s face was full of desire by the time Zhan Chen took her to her bed. He removed her undergarment and her beautiful peaks appeared infront of his eyes.


    "Big sis, you are looking beautiful", Zhan Chen spoke and leaned on her body. He took one of her peaks inside his mouth and yed with her other peak with his hand.


    He circled his tongue around her pink bud and bite on it lightly. Zhan Qingyue moaned in ecstasy as waves of pleasure coarsed through her body.


    Zhan Chen leaked her breasts for a while and Zhan Qingyue was already on the verge of reaching her peak. Her body shoved when Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her slender belly.


    Zhan Chen finally made way towards her sacred treasure and raised her legs to unravel it. Her pretty little sister came to his view after he pushed her legs wide.


    Zhan Chen leaned forward and licked her little sister with his tongue. Zhan Qingyue trembled in ecstacy as Zhan Chen''s tongue invaded her sacred garden.


    "Little Chen, move away. I am feeling weired", she spoke while moaning under her breath. She was already feeling delirious with all sorts of pleasure flooding her brain.


    She finally couldn''t endure and let out a stream of yin water from her sacred garden. Zhan Chen didn''t waste any as she gulped down her love juice.


    "Little Chen, thank you", she spoke with a look of satisfaction on her face. Zhan Chen couldn''t believe how pretty she was looking at the moment. So, he leaned on her body and went for another kiss.


    Their body intervened and he brought Zhan Qingyue on top of him. "Little Chen, it is your time to undress", she spoke and pulled off the blue robe of Zhan Chen. She threw a charming look at him and pulled off his pant.


    Her majestic sword was already in fire. So, it proudly raised its head towards heaven when Zhan Qingyue pulled off his pant. Zhan Qingyue eximed softly and stretched her hand towards his dragon.


    A warm feeling came to her hand after she wrapped her hand around his dragon. She started to move her hand slowly and looked towards Zhan Chen to check his reaction. There was an enjoying look on Zhan Chen''s face as she relished the care and love of his big sister.

 Chapter 264 Chance Encounter

    Zhan Qingyue had a tired look on her face when Zhan Chen finally deposited his yang essence inside her throat. Two lines of white escaped her mouth after Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon.


    "Gulp", her throat slightly bulged as she swallowed the thick essence of Zhan Chen. "Little Chen, now I understand. Why you need so much women. No woman alone will be enough for you if we look at your potential", she spoke while looking at Zhan Chen with a tender look on her face.


    "Big sis, I can''t wait to dual cultivate with you. But you seems to be not ready yet", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Yes, initially I am ready to do it because there is no one tofort you except me. But now, you have so many women. So, there is no need to rush.I can take my time and think about it after I get a good enough cultivation", Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "Big sis, can you tell me now? What are you thinking before I came into your room?", Zhan Chen asked with a concerned look on his face.


    "It is about my body condition. I am trying my best but my cultivation is not improving", Zhan Qingyue spoke with a worried look on her face.


    "Big sis, rx. I will definitely find a solution to resolve your problem", Zhan Chenforted her.


    ----------------


    The silver light of the moon was flooding the Longyang city and making the night more brilliant than ever. Hu Yali was cultivating inside her room, trying to concentrate.


    "I can''t stop thinking about him no matter how much I have tried", she murmured to herself as a yearning look appeared on her bewitching face.


    A certain urge came to her mind and she couldn''t supress it no matter how much she tried. Her hand automatically went towards herher region as she gazed at the moon sitting on her bed.


    "Should I go see him?", she thought to herself while rubbing her hand over her dress.


    "No, it would be inappropriate. Moreover, I want him to treat me as a ve. That way he can act more violently without holding back", she thought to herself. Her body started to heat up as various inappropriate pictures appeared inside her mind.


    "Ahhhh! This feeling! I can''t hold back anymore", she thought to herself and pulled down her night clothes. Her voluptuous body illuminated by the silver rays of moon as she started to y with herself.


    "Looks like I havee at an appropriate time", the voice of Zhan Chen stopped the violent impulse of Hu Yali. She turned her head and an ecstatic look appeared on her beautiful face.


    "Master, wee. I thought you forgot this old ve of yours", Hu Yali spoke.


    "Old! Look at your incredible figure. Even a impotent fool wille out of his sickness after witnessing you like this", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He went forward and grabbed a breast of Hu Yali. Her mounds were still hidden by a silky undergarment. Zhan Chen enjoyed the silky feeling while squeezing her breast.


    He yed with her twin peaks for a while, then took off her undergarments. A mature body full of enticing curves appeared infront of him after he undressed Hu Yalipletely.


    Her massive mountains were already swollen and the pink buds atop them werepletely erect. It looked like she would eject milk as soon as Zhan Chen gave a tight squeeze to her peaks.


    Zhan Chen made her lie on her back and pushed aside her thighs.An enticing hidden entrance appeared infront of him beckoning to his hidden adventurous spirit.


    He put his fingers on her entrance and rubbed it gently. A wet feeling came to his fingers within few moments of rubbing.<sub> </sub>


    "Looks like you are already prepared. In that case, I don''t have to do much", Zhan Chenmented. He stood up and took off his clothes.


    "Master, please do it from my back", Hu Yali pleaded.


    "As you wish", Zhan Chen spoke and turned her body.He made her lie on her belly as her perky buttocks waved the amorous g towards him.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t hold it anymore and charged with his dragon right away. He pushed aside her soft flesh and shoved his dragon inside her sacred cave.


    "Ahhhh~", Hu Yali moaned as an ecstatic look appeared on her face. "This feeling! I am missing this feeling", she thought to herself as she felt the warmth of Zhan Chen inside her cave.


    "Ahhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhnnn~", Hu Yali started to moan as Zhan Chen moved his waist. His thrusts gradually became violent as he became engrossed in the pleasure of prating her cave.


    Waves of pleasure flooded the mind of Hu Yali as she couldn''t think clearly anymore. There was only the feeling of fulfillment as her cave got bombarded by Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    She couldn''t hold herself anymore as her mind becamepletely nk. A narrow stream of yin water came out from her cave and drenched her bed with her own fragrant water.


    "Master, can my mouth be of any help to you?", she asked with an infatuated look on her face.


    "Of course, it can of great help", Zhan Chen replied while observing her voluptuous body.


    "Then master, please use my mouth. This servant will serve you however you want", Hu Yali spoke while looking at Zhan Chen with infatuation.


    "I don''t know why do you want to be treated as a ve. But it is on your own choice. To speak truthfully, I am not against the idea anymore", Zhan Chen spoke with a heated look on his face. He used the Heart peering technique to see through her thoughts and it really turned him on after he found out her outrageous thoughts.


    Zhan Chen crouched near her mouth and ced his raging dragon on top of her mouth. He didn''t have to give further instruction as Hu Yali was quick to raise her head and took his dragon inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist slowly as his dragon prated deep inside her mouth. Such an experience was heavenly and an enjoying look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Hu Yali becane out of breath sortly. So, Zhan Chen had to let her go. He asked her to sit up and lie down on her bed.


    Hu Yali knelt down beside his waist and brought her mouth towards her dragon. Zhan Chen felt a soft sensation as she started to lick his dragon with her tongue.


    The night seemed like endless as one after another sweet chapter happened inside Hu Yali''s room. Hu Yali had a face of containment and exhaustion by the time the morning was over.


    Sheid on her bedzily even after the golden Sun rays of morning sun fell on her room. She never felt such rxation and containment in the long years of her life.


    She lie like a log for a while. Then left her bed to meditate. Unknown to her, she entered into a state of cultivation which was a dream for most of the experts in the Northern desert continent.

 Chapter 265 The True Concern Of Imperial Family

    "Where is junior sister Yali?", another expert from the Fragrant Lily sect asked after not finding Hu Yali among the cultivators of her sect.


    "We have not seen elder Yali since yesterday night", one of the girl from the Fragrant Lily sect replied.


    "Strange! What is she doing? It is her responsibility to take you to the venue of grand sectpetition", the expert murmured to herself.


    A frown appeared on her veil d face after she waited for a while. She chose not to wait any longer and spread her soul consciousness towards Hu Yali''s room.


    A look of astonishment appeared on her face after she witnessed the unique condition of Hu Yali. "I can''t beleive it. How did she manage to enter into a state of enlightenment?", she muttered to herself with a surprised look on her face.


    "Girls, let me arrange someone to escort you. I need to stay here and protect junior sister Yali", the expert spoke to the gathered cultivators from the Fragrant Lily sect.


    ------------------


    The battles were in full swing when Zhan Chen''s group reached the venue of the grand sectpetition. Thirty three people were already choosen in the previous day. So, the battle of the next day was aimed at selecting other sixty seven participants for the top hundred list.


    Zhan Chen chose to cultivate while the crowd was enjoying the fierce battle uring on the stone tforms. Lu Mingxi seemed to like the serene look on Zhan Chen''s face while he was cultivating. So, she looked towards him time to time while everyone was busy watching thepetition.


    "I wonder how far he will go in this final round", she thought to herself.


    Battle continued for hours and winners started to emerge one after another. Without the monstrously talented cultivators like Zhan Chen and Jia Lingyi, the battle became lot easier for the remaining participants. Theypete among themselves fiercely and did their best to win three consecutive battles on the rock tforms.


    The Spirit pce experts tweaked the norms for selection after few hours ofpetetion. The cultivators only needed to win two consecutive battles to enter the grand sectpetition.


    The Spirit pce did so to speed up thepetetion and it brought a frenzy among the remaining participants. Thepetition became lot easierpared to before but it brought up the fear of elimination among the remaining participants.


    Everyone was eager to enter the stone tforms as sooon as possible and it made the battles morepetetive than before.


    Fierce battles were fought among the remaining participants and gradually winners started to emerge who managed to achieve two victories consecutively.


    The battle continued for few more hours and it was almost noon when all hundred cultivators got selected for the top hundred list.


    "Now, let''se to the most exciting part of thepetition. We have designed a special test for the cultivators in the top hundred list.


    It will be a threeyered test. The cultivator who will pass the threeyered test in the least possible time will be dered as the winner of thepetition.


    Other ranks will also be dered ording to their results in the threeyered test", one of the Spirit pce expert dered.


    Amotion erupted amongst the crowd after they heard the announcement of the Spirit pce. "There will be no more battle?", a cultivator asked hispanion with confusion all over his face.


    "I don''t know but the test must be interesting. I want to see how the Spirit pce will select the top ten and the winner of thepetition", hispanion replied.<sub> </sub>


    "A test! That will surely dampen the mood. I was looking forward to see the battles among the top tenpetetors", another person added from the side.


    The Spirit pce did nothing to adress the doubts emerging in the minds of the crowd. Rather, they chose to gathers all the participants in the top hundred list.


    "Congrattion, everyone. All of you have performed splendidly in thepetetion.


    Majority of you may be wondering what is the purpose of selecting top hundred instead of top ten cultivators?", the spirit pce expert looked towards the all top hundred participants.


    All the young cultivators nodded their heads as they were really curious about the reason for such a change. They looked towards the Spirit pce expert for an answer after hearing his words.


    "Let me answer that for you", a melodious voice interrupted their conversation. Zhan Chen turned his head and a look of interest appeared on his face after he saw the uing visitor.


    "It is the second princess!", an uproar came from the crowd after they heard the melodious voice. All of their gazes turned towards the sky from where the melodious voice wasing.


    A graceful figure appeared infront of the top hundred cultivators as they were waiting for the reply from the Spirit pce expert. All of them seemed to be hooked by the appearance of the graceful figure as their eyes stayed on the veil d beauty who had just appeared.


    "Greetings princess", all the cultivators bowed their heads slightly to show their respect for the imperial family.


    "Congrattion everyone. This time my imperial family will select fifty cultivators among you. So, some of you will have a chance to talk with meter", the second princess spoke with a smile on her face.


    "Now, let''s talk about the reason for the changes in this year''spetition. All of you will understand after seeing something I have brought along with me", she spoke and pped her hands softly.


    "Roar!", a beastly cry came from the distant sky and everyone saw the faint appearance of a mighty creature. The creature gradually became clearer and an awestruck look appeared on everyone''s face after they witnessed the appearance of the majestic crrature.


    "A four winged sky dragon!", Zhan Chen muttered under his breath after seeing the mighty beast in the sky. The creature gradually got closer to the top hundred participants and descended towards the ground after reaching near the location of second princess.


    A solemn expression appeared on the face of Spirit pce experts after they witnessed the mighty creature in the sky. Zhan Chen felt many formidable soul consciousness on the four winged sky dragon after itnded near the second princess.


    The target of the formidable experts was not the four winged sky dragon itself rather they were observing a cage ced atop the huge body of the sky dragon.


    The top hundred participants were able to see the cage after the four winged sky dragonnded on the ground. A disgusting look appeared on many girls'' faces after they observed the creature bound inside the cage.


    The creature had a humanoid appearance and strange looking eyes. His lower half was simr to that of a human but his upper body part waspletely beast like.


    He had three horns protruding out of his head and had a bulky body. There were two strips of hardened skins on both of his cheeks. His arms were bulky and muscr and there were two sharp bones protruding out of his elbows.


    His eyes were gleaming time to time and he looked towards the crowd with a ferocious look on his face. The voice from the crowd had subsided after they witnessed the otherworldly creature brought by the imperial family. Many had fearful look on their faces as they observed the monstrosity infront of them.

 Chapter 266 The Fabled Dreamland

    "Princess, what is this creature? This old man has never seen something like this in my long years of life", a voice reverberated in the ears of participants who had gathered around the second princess.


    A figure appeared in the air soon after and a fearful look appeared on the face of the four winged sky dragon after the mysterious person walked towards it.


    The mysterious person revealed himselfpletely after he stopped near the sky dragon. He was a decadant looking old man with deep wrinkles all over his face. He was holding a bronze book in his left hand and there was a stick in his right hand to support his body from swaying in the air.


    The mysterious expert seemed to be an ordinary looking old man but the faces of the peak experts spoke otherwise. Collective gasps came from the crowd after they heard the murmuring of peak experts around him.


    "It is unbelievable. Fortune seeking old man is still alive!", crowd started to talk among themselves.


    "How many years it has been since west heard about him?", a cultivator asked to hispanion.


    "It has been thirty years since hisst appearance", hispanion replied.


    "Senior, please ept this bow from me. I, Xie Lanying am fortunate that I manage to meet you during my life time", the second princess bowed towards the decandant looking old man.


    The old man finally turned his head and took a look at the second princess. "Girl, no need to act modest before me. It wouldn''t be long before you enter the emperor realm", he spoke with a light smile on his face.


    "Senior, please don''t embarass me. I still need to cultivate for a while before dreaming about the Martial emperor realm", the second princess replied.


    "Your father must be happy about you. It is the Xie family ''s fortune that they have such a good talent", the fortune seeking old man spoke.


    "Now, tell me. What is this creature and why have you brought this infront of the crowd?", he looked towards Xie Lanying.


    -------------------


    "I can''t beleive it. There is such a problem in our continent!


    We must learn the entire truth after the princess ends her conversation with the fortune seeking senior", the top hundred participants started to talk among themselves.


    The fortune seeking old man didn''t linger around for much longer after finishing his talk with the second princess. "I am going to speak with your imperial father", he spoke before vanishing from the eyes of the entire crowd.


    ''Finally, the old monster is gone. With him around, I can''t be at ease in the grand sectpetition'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He threw a curious look towards the humanoid creature and looked towards Xie Lanying.


    "Princess, please tell us about this creature. The fortune telling old man has shown himself. This means it most be a very important matter", an expert from a prominent sect asked Xie Lanying.


    "Has everyone heard about the shadows?", Xie Lanying looked towards everyone present in the crowd.


    Confused expression appeared on the faces of many as they had never heard the word shadows in their lives before but the facial expressions of few peak experts changed as soon as they heard the words of princess Lanying.


    "Princess, don''t tell me it is the devil race?", an expert asked with trepidation in his voice.<sub> </sub>


    "Exactly, what we are facing now is one of the three biggest races, the devils from the shadows", Xie Lanying nodded her head seriously.


    "How is it possible? The astral wind has always prevented the devils from invading our humans", an old expert who seemed knowledgeable voiced his opinion on public.


    "We have yet to ascertain the details. But from our investigation, we have found out that these devils areing out from a space crack near the Red mountain", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "So, princess. The changes to this year''spetition is.....?", an expert looked towards Xie Lanying withoutpeteting his sentence.


    "Yes senior, the changes has been made in the grand sectpetition. So that, we can prepare for any eventuality", Xie Lanying spoke.


    Many experts still had doubts in their minds but Xie Lanying herself didn''t speak anymore and returned to her ce. The Spirit pce experts allowed the top participants to disperse. So that, they could be briefed about unforeseen situation from the experts of their respective ns and sects.


    The grand sectpetition stopped for a while because there were confusion and chaos among the crowd. Zhan Chen returned to the Lu n ce after the top hundred participants started to disperse.


    "Zhan Chen, have you ever heard about the shadows?", the second elder of the Lu n asked Zhan Chen as soon as he returned to their side.


    "Senior, I have heard a little but it will be best if I can hear the details from you", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Mingxi, what about you? Have you ever heard about the shadows and their inhabitants?", the second elder of the Lu n looked towards Lu Mingxi. Lu Mingxi shook her head as she had never given any effort to learn about the different races of others.


    "Well then. I shall exin about the shadows and the devil race. Listen carefully. We must prepare ourself if any unforeseen events unfolds", the second elder of the Lu n spoke with a solemn look on his face.


    All the Lu n cultivators and Zhan Chen''s women perked up their ears as they were really curious about the matter rting to the shadows.


    "There were countlesss in the vast starry sky and myriad of races lived in theses. The nature of a actually decided by its proximity to the regions of the immortal realm", the second elder of the Lu n spoke.


    "Immortal realm!", collective gasps came out from Lu n cultivators after they heard the words of their second elder. Immortal realm always seemed to be a topic from the fairy tail but they became surprised after hearing the words from their second elder ''s mouth.


    "The immortal realm is broadly divided into four domains. Nether domain, Chaos domain, Spirit domain, Shadow domain.


    Human experts generally live in the Spirit domain and our Seven sea is also located close to the Spirit domain.


    As for the shadows, you can guess already. Theses located close to the Shadow domain where devil experts and evil beings live."


    "I have never thought that there will be such intricacies. It means the legends are real! If we somehow cross the emperor realm, then we can think about seeing the immortal realm some day", Lu Mingxi murmured to herself with an awestruck look on her face.


    "Girly, stop day dreaming. First work hard to reach the Martial emperor realm. Then you will know how hard it is to ascend to the immortal realm", the second elder of the Lu n spoke with a smile on his face.


    "This is a creature from the shadows. I understand this much. But why is the imperial family panicking? Do not they have their sage realm experts?", Lu Tai Cang asked with a confused look on his face.

 Chapter 267 Inside The Serpentine Forest

    "This problem is not so simple as you think. If the problem could be solved by the imperial family experts, they wouldn''t have brought this creature to the grand sectpetition", the second elder of the Lu n spoke.


    "Senior, what is the arrangement now? There must be some experts watching over the space crack", Zhan Chen looked towards the second elder of the Lu n with a questioning look on his face.


    "Yes, one of the general of the imperial army is watching over the Red mountain now", second elder replied.


    ''So, this is why imperial family assist the Shen n that day. They do not want to see infighting among the super powers while the continent is facing such an existential threat'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "All the participants in the top hundred list, please gather around near the stone tforms", an expert from the Spirit pce made the announcement. Zhan Chen bade his farewell to everyone and walked towards the battle tforms.


    "I wonder what is the arrangement in this threeyered test", he thought to himself while standing alongside with other cultivators.


    "The test will be held in the nearby Sepentine forest. It will be a true test for the participants where they will face life threatening danger. The more they can travel in the forest, the greater there rank will be.


    The participant who can ovee all the challenges ande out from the other side of the forest in least possible time will be the winner of the grand sectpetition", the Spirit pce expert announced.


    "Senior, will there be higher rank beasts?", a participant asked the Spirit pce expert.


    "Ofcourse, there will be but we have already removed the sixth tier magical beasts from the Sepentine forest which means you will face magical beasts upto peak fifth tier level", the Spirit pce expert replied.


    "Peak fifth tier magical beasts!", hesitant look appeared on some of the participants'' faces after they heard the reply of the Spirit pce expert. There cultivations were only at Core condensation realm yet they may face peak fifth tier magical beasts who were equal to peak Martial ascension realm experts.


    "How are we supposed to fight? We will be dead if we got noticed by any peak fifth tier magical beast", few participants started to murmur among themselves.


    A frown appeared on the face of the Spirit pce expert after he noticed the reluctance on the faces of some of the participants.


    "The threeyered test is only for those who are brave and ready to face the danger. If you can''t advance courageously, then there is no point in being in the top hundred list", he spoke to the gathered participants.


    Majority of the participants were looking forward to participate in the threeyered test. The unwilling participants had to give up their resistance after hearing the chiding words of the Spirit pce expert.


    "Keep these tokens with you while participating in the test. The token will show the audience, how far you have progressed in the Serpentine forest", the Spirit pce expert spoke and took out a heap of square shaped tokens from his spatial ring.


    -------------------


    "An emperor realm expert!", Zhan Chen knitted his eyebrows after reaching the vicinity of the Sepentine forest along with other participants.


    "Everyone, please hand over your magical treasures before entering the Serpentine forest. You are only allowed to take your weapons of choice. Other than that, no other magical treasures are allowed", one of the Spirit pce expert spoke.


    The emperor realm expert of the Spirit pce released his aura slightly and all the participants had to part with their life saving treasures although many of them felt reluctant to do so.<sub> </sub>


    "Zhan Chen, don''t you have any magical treasures?", the emperor realm expert looked towards Zhan Chen. A surprised expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as the question was too sudden. He immediately rein on his surprise and bowed towards the emperor realm expert.


    "Senior, I only have this spatial ring. Other than that, there is nothing on my body", Zhan Chen replied and took out his spatial ring from his robe.


    "Take out your weapon and leave behind the spatial ring", the emperor realm expert spoke. The same instruction was given to other participants and all of them had no choice but to obey the instructions of the Spirit pce experts.


    Zhan Chen took out Lu Mingxi''s sword and entered the Serpentine forest. The presence of the emperor realm expert ensured that he couldn''t use his soul consciousness freely inside the woods.


    "Forget it, I will use a different trick to travel inside this forest", he thought to himself.


    The Serpentine forest was arge forest upying the south direction of the Longyang city. The forest was dense and covered with luxuriant vegetation of different kinds.


    The only thing Zhan Chen could see was long grasses and thick trunks of wild trees. He walked slowly while looking for the dangers that the Spirit pce expert was talking about.


    He stopped on his way after walking for a while. His gaze fell upon a dense tree from where a creature was eying him with hostile eyes.


    ''Green eyed ape'', he murmured to himself and looked towards the tall creature who wastching onto a branch of the tree.


    The ape saw it''s yellow teeths and warned Zhan Chen not to tresspass into its territory. From it''s ferocious look, Zhan Chen was sure that it wouldn''t hesitate to attack him as soon as he take one step forward.


    ''There is no point in fighting with it. Rather I should use it''s familiarity with the surrounding and keep an eye on the nearby areas'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    A flicker appeared in his eyes and the next moment, the green eyed ape shed the hostile look on it''s face. "Go to the nearby areas and let me see the dangers lying before me", Zhan Chen gave amand to the green eyed ape.


    The ape struck it''s chest with it''s hand to assure Zhan Chen about his ability and then jumped towards a distant branch of therge tree. He hopped onto the branches of the distant trees and it''s figure disappeared from the eyes of Zhan Chen within few seconds of time.


    "This ape is really useful. With it, I can finally know what is happening around me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The ape hopped onto branches after branches and with its ability Zhan Chen could see the dangers lying ahead of him. There was a gigantic snake a little distance away from him and from its eyes, Zhan Chen could tell that it was waiting for a prey to appear.


    The green eyed ape jumped past the snake and saw Zhan Chen other dangers of the forest. Zhan Chen started to walk forward with the green eyed ape as his guide. He walked unhindered for several minutes but he had to stop because the violent reaction of the green eyed monkeys.


    "What makes you fear so much?", he tried tomunicate with the green eyed ape. The green eyed ape started to shiver suddenly and all of its body hair stood erect after it went towards a certain direction. Zhan Chen could feel the panick inside it''s heart and it made him curious about that direction.


    ''There must be something which made the green eyed apes fear for their lives. I can see from its memory that it had never visited this ce but the cautiousness about this ce was inherent in its blood'', he thought inside his mind.

 Chapter 268 Inside The Serpentine Forest (2)

    ''Well, I can check this ce after the test. For now, there is no meaning in wasting time and giving others the opportunity to go ahead of me'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He ordered the Green eyed ape to change the path and the green eyed ape stared at him with a grateful look on it''s face. Zhan Chen felt a little surprised after seeing the human like emotion from the green eyed ape. ''This ape is rather intelligent considering its cultivation'', he thought inside his mind.


    The green eyed ape hopped from tree to tree and thanks to its wide area of observation, Zhan Chen could avoid the dangers swiftly. He walked for a while and he finally had to stop because he noticed a fight going on ahead of him.


    It was a fight between two groups of wolves. The fight was fierce and brutal as the two groups were busy in tearing apart eachother. Zhan Chen noticed few predatory eyes in the surrounding as some magical beasts were waiting quitely to take advantage of the fight between the wolves.


    Zhan Chen noticed few magical beasts were approaching from his back and a frown appeared on his face. "Seems like I can''t avoid a fight anymore", he thought to himself.


    He ordered the green eyed ape to go ahead and dashed forward using the Cloud chasing steps. The wolves couldn''t react immediately as he passed through the battle using his swift movement.


    A creature pounced towards him just after he left behind the fighting area of the wolves. Zhan Chen drew his sword and defended against therge w which was few inches away from his head.


    He took few steps back and looked at the creature which had just appeared before him. The creature had a pitch ck body and glinting eyes. Zhan Chen immediately determined what kind of magical beast he was fighting at this moment.


    "A cloud panter. It''s skills are impressive but it is a pity that it is only at early fifth tier realm", he thought to himself. The cloud panther attacked him few more times but it had to stop after Zhan Chen cut open its belly. It let out a painful howl and left the ce so as not to be the prey of other fifth tier predators.


    Zhan Chen walked ahead slowly with the sword in his hand. Few magical beasts tried to hinder him on his way but Zhan Chen silenced them with few swings of his sword. An area filled with mist appeared before him after he walked for several hours.


    The Green eyed ape seemed to be struck here as it couldn''t make any progress in the mist covered area. Zhan Chen freed it from his soul seal and sent it away towards its initial location.


    The ape seemed like trying to say something but Zhan Chen couldn''t understand it''s gestures. It finally gave Zhan Chen a long stare and hopped towards its previous location.


    "If destiny allows, we will meet again", Zhan Chen spoke softly while looking towards the hopping ape. He turned his head after the green eyed ape left. A smile appeared on his face after he saw the mist covered surrounding.


    "Such a long range formation! Seems like Spirit pce is really serious about this threeyered test", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He stepped forward confidently with the sword of Lu Mingxi in his hand.


    The mist was all pervading but it couldn''t hinder Zhan Chen slightly. Zhan Chen stepped forward confidently and finally stepped out of the mist covering area. "I thought there will be some traps but there was none while I was crossing over the bewildering formation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He suddenly felt something and moved to his side but his expression changed after he sensed danger from the other side also. A knife made way towards his back but Zhan Chen shifted his body at the most crucial moment to avoid the fatal attack.


    He stepped back a little and looked towards his two attackers. A frown appeared on his face after he saw the appearance of both of his attackers.<sub> </sub>


    "Human cultivators! Why are you here in the Serpentine forest?", he asked both of his attackers with a confused look on his face.


    Both of the cultivators didn''t give any reply instead theyunched another coordinated attack towards Zhan Chen.


    A glint appeared on Zhan Chen''s face and both of his attackers stopped in the mid way. A look of understanding appeared on his face after he saw through the memories of both of the cultivators.


    "So, you two are heinous criminals. No wonder, the imperial family is using you like some test subjects in the grand sectpetition", hemented lightly.


    He retracted his soul consciousness and a hint of rity appeared on both of the cultivators'' faces. A hint of fear appeared on both of their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, please let us leave. We are ready to do anything as long as you do not kill us", they spoke with pleading look on their faces.


    "There is no point in sparing your lives. I am sure, you two will continue to harm the innocents even if I let you go", Zhan Chen replied.


    He swung his left hand slightly and two energy shes went towards both of of his cultivators. Both of their heads flew into the air even before they could react to Zhan Chen''s reply.


    "Actually, there is no problem how much cultivators you kill but it is uneptable when you keepmiting crimes against ordinary humans", Zhan Chen spoke while standing infront of the two headless cultivators.


    Blood guzzles out like torrential rains as their headless bodies crashed onto the grassynd of the Serpentine forest.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop any longer near the bodies of his attackers and marched ahead into the deeper regions of the Serpentine forest. He had no idea that his performance was alredy sending shockwaves among the spectators of the grand sectpetition.


    "Miss, seems like we have arrived in an appropriate time", an expert spoke to ady standing ahead of him. Thedy nodded her head as a smile appeared on her beautiful face.


    "Keep my arrival a secret for now. I will meet elder sister Lanying after meeting with Zhan Chen. You are also not allowed to disclose my presence to Ruyan and others", thedy spoke to the expert standing behind her.


    "Miss, please rest assured. I will not disclose any information regarding you even if Ie across the imperial family and the Shen n", the expert spoke.


    The noble lookingdy nodded her head and took a look at the animated crowd. The crowd was observing a stone pir which was erected in the middle of the stone tforms.

 Chapter 269 Inside The Serpentine Forest (3)

    "unbelievable! Someone is already in the second stage", an expert eximed after seeing the movement in the stone pir.


    "Who is it?", hispanions eximed and looked towards therge stone pir.


    The stone pir was divided into three different colours of light and each colour represented three separateyers of the Serpentine forest.


    The yellow light represented the outermost area of the forest and untill now all hundred names were inside the lowermost portion of the stone pir which was glowing with yellow light.


    But suddenly some changes appeared among the names and a name vanished from the lowermost position. The next moment a name appeared in the middle of stone pir which was glowing with blue light.


    The name was a familiar name for the spectators but they had never expected him to be the first to enter the the innermost area of the Serpentine forest.


    "This guy is a freak! There are so many capable participants yet none can match this little monster from the Zhan n", the emperor realm expert from the Spirit pce mumured. Beside him, two youngdies of the Spirit pce were also observing the stone pir and there was a look of shock in each of their eyes.


    Other spectators may not understand the level of difficulty of thest test but as the host of the grand sectpetition, both of them werepletely aware.


    ording tomon sense, none of the cultivators should cross the firstyer before the evening but the result of Zhan Chen, proved their spection otherwise. It was only four hours into thepetetion yet Zhan Chen had already crossed the outermost area and currently fighting in the inner area of the Serpentine forest.


    "Princess, this brat is really something. He is only eighteen yet posess such a level of prowess! We should not left him unchecked. Otherwise, we will have to regretter", a shadowy looking expert spoke to the second princess of the imperial family.


    "Aunt Shiyu, you are speaking the truth but we shouldn''t act right now. With the appearance of the space crack, the situation is quiteplicated. But this is still not reason why I am holding back.


    The immortal abode is going to open up and we may need the help of Zhan n experts to open the pathway. We can''t take the risk now because the immortal abode will be a heaven defying opportunity for my ninth sister", Xie Lanying spoke.


    --------------------


    Zhan Chen was unaware of the thoughts of the imperial family. Otherwise, he would have cursed them for how crafty they were. After all, none among the eight super powers could have imagined that the space crack was only a cover. The true goal of imperial family was a certain immortal abode.


    "ng!", metallic sound rang out as Zhan Chen defended himself from another sneaky attack. He kept fending the attacks of the human cultivator but his real focus was on a distant tree.


    Two pairs of eyes were watching their battle keenly but from the looks on their eyes, Zhan Chen was sure that they would pounce at them as soon as he saw any sign of weakness.


    "Brat, your struggle is futile. Just give up on you resistance and I promise, it will not be painful for you", the attacker of Zhan Chen spoke with a grin on his face.


    Zhan Chen looked at his attacker with a disdainful look on his face but he chose not to reply. Afterall, there was no point in talking to a dying man.


    The attacker of the Zhan n gradually became wary after facing the rocksolid defence of Zhan Chen. He turned to look towards hispanion but it was the exact moment when Zhan Chen striked.


    A line of red appeared on the neck of the cultivator who was attacking Zhan Chen. "Brat...", he could only speak this much before a horrified look appeared on his face.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen ignored the horrified cultivator and walked past him leisurely. His attacker did his best to slow down the blood but his wound didn''t stop bleeding. He finally stopped breathing while looking towards Zhan Chen with wide open eyes.


    "What is the point in hiding? It is not that you two can run away in my watch", Zhan Chen spoke while walking towards the distant tree.


    "Little punk, don''t be so full of yourself", an angry voice came from the back of the tree. Two experts walked out and red towards Zhan Chen with fierce expression on their faces.


    "It is your fault for getting into a confrontation with me. Now attack together, otherwise it will be far too boring. I am tired of having one on battles with Core condensation realm cultivators", Zhan Chen spoke with a disinterested look on his face.


    His words and his expression werest straw for both of the cultivators as they pounced towards Zhan Chen after hearing his provocation. Both of them attacked simultaneously and from their attack pattern, Zhan Chen was sure that both of his attackers were acquintances.


    Both of his opponents attacked in tandem and Zhan Chen fought them equally by limiting his cultivation to peak Core condensation realm. There were simply too few opportunities for him to fight. So, he didn''t want to finish such battles without fighting for a while.


    ''ng''


    ''ng'', his sword collided with both of his attackers as they did their best to finding an opening in Zhan Chen''s defense. ''Neck , chest, belly'', they tried to pierce all of his vulnerable body parts but they didn''t seed.


    "Wu Tao, retreat", one of the attackers said to hispanion while fighting Zhan Chen. An disappointed look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he kicked the ground with his leg and jumped into air.


    He moved his body in a roundabout manner andunched a whirlwind sh towards both of his opponents. His attackers brought their swords forward to stop his attack but a cracking sound came out from their swords as their swords cut in two.


    Zhan Chen''s attack didn''t stop even after cutting their swords as a bone deep wound appeared on both of their chests. Zhan Chen didn''t press for another attack as he walked forward leaving behind his attackers dumbfounded.


    "Wu Tao, I can''t beleive it", one of the attackers murmured.


    "Me neither", the other assant added. Both of them stood rooted on the ground as they watched the back of Zhan Chen disappear in the woods.


    Zhan Chen came across few magical beasts after his sh with the human cultivators. None of the magical beasts were at fifth tier. So, he cut down them easily without stopping on his path.


    His true challenge began when he came across a group of fierce looking animals. ''ck glistening bodies with flowery pattern and two dangerous looking canines, no doubt these are the Sabretooth leopards", he thought to himself.


    Two leopards were at his left hand side and right hand side, another one was standing at his front. There was none in his back but Zhan Chen was not naive enough to show his back to the Sabretooth leopards.


    "Looks like I am surrounded", he thought to himself with a smile on his face. It was not that he was sneaked on by the Sabretooth leopards rather he chose to enter theyer of Sabretooth leopards voluntarily. The reason for his action was a certain herb which he found quite enticing.


    ''It is not like I can avoid a battle'', he murmured to himself while looking at the Sabretooth tigers. He could sense that there were several magical beasts in the nearby areas and none of there cultivation was weaker than the pack of Sabretooth leopards.


    It meant he had to pick a fight with any group of magical beasts if he wanted to advance. Zhan Chen could see through the logic of the Spirit pce regarding this arrangement. So, he chose to fight the Sabretooth leopards for passing the second stage of the test.

 Chapter 270 Entering The Core Region

    ''Something is not right'', Zhan Chen thought to himself while looking at the Sabretooth leopards surrounding him.


    It had been a while since he had started his fight with the group of Sabretooth leopards and the result left him surprised.


    There were several casualties among the Sabretooth leopards but they were still fighting steadily despite their losses. It was impossible to see in normal cases because Sabretooth leopards became berserk if any adversary kill their breatherns in a fight.


    "Just what is going on here!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding. He saw several magical beasts lying in wait for the uing participants.


    "There is definitely something wrong here. How can these magical beasts act so cautious despite being wild and violent in general", he thought to himself with a frown on his face.


    He defended himself while facing the attacks of the sabretooth leopards and searched with his soul consciousness to see if there were any anomaly in the Serpentine forest.


    "Strange! There is nothing here except these cunning magical beasts", he thought to himself after searching for a while.


    "If the scenario is so unpredictable then there is no point in entangling myself with these bests. I should leave this ce and see what lies ahead of me in thirdyer of the test", he thought to himself.


    He used the Cloud chasing steps and his figure disappeared from the sight of the Sabretooth leopards. The next moment he appeared, he was already at few meters distance away from the Sabretooth leopards.


    The Sabretooth leopards gave chase to him after seeing his silhouette but it was toote. They could only growl in displeasure as Zhan Chen entered the core area of the Serpentine forest.


    "Little Kittys, no need to feel so frustrated. Come here quickly. There will be more preys if you obey my words", a sweet voice heard in the ce where Zhan Chen was fighting just a while ago.


    The silhouette of a little girl appeared on the branch of a tree after Zhan Chen left towards the core area. "That human, he is far too dangerous. Moreover, I can feel the presence of sacred tree from his bloodline", the little girl thought to himself while looking at the distant.


    The group of the Sabretooth leopards returned after hearing the words of the little girl. A strange thing urred as they raised their heads to look at the little girl sitting on the branch.


    All of them stretched their forelegs and touched their heads in the ground to show their subservience. It was quite a sight to behold if anyone could see the situation in the Serpentine forest.


    Other might be surprised but the little girl was not. A bored look appeared on her adorable face as she shifted her gaze towards a nearby area. "I hope the stupid bears do not mess it up. Otherwise, I will borrow their paws for dinner today", she thought to herself while drooling from her mouth.


    The bowing leopards became more obedient after hearing her mumbling. A terrified look appeared on their faces after they saw the little girl drooling.

    Zhan Chen had no idea about the changes in the secondyer. He was currently in the core area of the Sepentine forest and observing its environment with curiousity on his face.


    ''This ce is rather beautiful'', he thought to himself while walking in the core area of the Serpentine forest.


    Compared to the outer area and the inner area, the core area was less denser and Zhan Chen could feel the aura of very few magical beasts in the surrounding.<sub> </sub>


    ''It is strange. There is no stronger magical beasts in this ce. Then, what is the test of the thirdyer?'', he thought to himself.


    A look of understanding appeared on his face after he walked farther. There was a hidden formation lied ahead of him which was invisible to the naked eyes of a cultivator.


    The formation was another huge formation. So, Zhan Chen immediately guessed it as the third test of thepetition. As for going around it, he decided against such an option.


    Suchrge formations were built by Spirit pce to test the participants. If participants could skip it easily, then there was no point in building such arge formation in the first ce.


    He was unsure of what lied ahead but still made up his mind and stepped inside the formation. Nothing seemed to change at fast as he walked forward while observing his environment.


    Suddenly he felt something and moved to the side. A shallow wound appeared on his shoulder as he barely saved himself from an iing attack.


    He had yet to find his bearing when an attack came towards him. Zhan Chen stopped the attack just before his chest and looked towards the attacker.


    The attacker was a humanoid creature which had same height as him. It had human like appearance but what set it apart from the humans was it''s sword like scalesing out from its body.


    It''s eyes were also irregr as it hadpletely scarlet eyes. It licked it''s lips with its tongue and pounced towards Zhan Chen once again.


    Zhan Chen had to step back few steps to offset the force of it''s attack. "So, thest test is fighting with a real devil", he thought to himself while looking at his attacker.


    He was currently supressing his power to Core condensation realm as he had no desire to show his true cultivation infront of anyone. So, he fought with the devil with a cultivation of peak Core condensation realm.


    The humanoid looking devil rained attack on Zhan Chen agressively and Zhan Chen found it hard to stop the belligerence of the devil.


    He shed at its body for few times but his attack which could have killed a normal Core condensation realm cultivator could only leave some shallow marks on the monstrous body of the devil.


    The devil got frustrated after a while. While it could push Zhan Chen with it''s attacks but it was impossible for it to do any real damage to Zhan Chen''s body.


    Zhan Chen had solid defence as he blocked all of it''s attacks with the sword in his hand. "Puny human, don''t think you can escape today. Your sword y is impressive but it does not mean I have no other way to take you down", the devil growled at Zhan Chen with a different dialect.


    Zhan Chen could understand what it was saying because it was the divineguage of imomrtals. He threw a mocking look at the devil to see it''s reaction.


    "Human, you are asking for it", the devil growled and charged towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was preparing tounch an attack to stop it but a sudden prenomition made him think otherwise. He hurriedly leaned towards his left as an energy beam just left past his neck.


    A cold look appeared on his face as he looked towards the devil. The devil currently had three eyes on it''s face as it looked towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous look.


    "How did you escape my attack?", it asked with a confused look on it''s face.

 Chapter 271 Winner Of The Grand Sect Competition

    "What is there to be surprised? Your attack can''t hit me even if you try another hundred times", Zhan Chen replied the devil with a mocking look on his face.


    The devil became incensed after hearing Zhan Chen''s reply. "Human, you are courting death", he shouted angrily and pounced towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen noticed a certain change in the devil''s body and a curious look appeared on his face. A reddened hue came out from the devil''s body as it increased it''s size by a head. The spikes in its body also lengthened with the increase in it''s height.


    "Human, watch me as I pulverize your stinky mouth", the devil spoke and swung it''s elbow towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen brought forward his sword to stop it''s attack but the force was so much that he was thrown to a side.


    The devil didn''t want to give him any time to recover. So, it immediately pressed towards Zhan Chen andunched an energy attack from it''s third eye.


    A huge st ured in the ce where Zhan Chen was lying and a gleeful look appeared on the face of the devil. It took some time for the dust to settle down and there was a deep hole in the ce of the st.


    The devil lowered it''s head to look at Zhan Chen but to it''s dismay, Zhan Chen was not present at the center of the st. It looked around and saw Zhan Chen looking towards him with a calm look on his face.


    For some reason, the devil felt a chill running down in it''s spine after it saw the look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Zhan Chen ''s robe was slightly disheavled as he escaped the impact of devil''s attack but it couldn''t give him any injury despite the suddenness of the attack.


    "Devil, you seem to be at your strongest form. So, let''s see whether your body is tougher or my sword is more sharp", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He brought his sword infront of him and closed his eyes. The devil could feel that something changed in the air as soon as Zhan Chen closed his eyes. It couldn''t point out what has changed but a growing feeling of uneasiness crept into his heart.


    "I can''t let this human continue whatever he is doing", the devil thought to himself andunched an energy attack towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes at the next moment and there was no panic on his face. He did a simple shash with his sword and the energy attack of the devil cut in half before reaching his body.


    "What did you do?", the devil asked with a horrified look on his face. Zhan Chen ''s eyes were calm but for some reason the devil felt like it would be blind if it looked at Zhan Chen''s eyes any longer.


    All of its pride left its body as it did a simple thing what human would do in this situation. It immediately turned it''s back and ran towards the distance with all its might. In its entire life, nobody had given it so much scare like Zhan Chen did.


    "Running will not help you. Stay quiet and let me check the sharpness of my sword on your body", Zhan Chen spoke. The devil got startled for a moment after hearing Zhan Chen''s words but it immediately increased it''s pace after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen kicked the ground with his right leg and propelled himself to the air. "Heaven judgement. Three rays of sacred punishment", he spoke calmly and swung his sword towards the escaping devil.


    The sky became illuminated for a moment as three glowing rays came towards the devil. Before it could react, it got impelled by the three gleaming energy rays.


    "Demon...", it could only mutter this much before it''s lifeless body crashed on the ground. Zhan Chennded on the ground calmly and looked towards the lifeless body of the devil.


    "No matter how powerful it postures itself, it is not more than an insignificant devil creature. The true devils are those who have family names and rule over the other devil beings of a region", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He took ast look at the surrounding before walking towards the exit of the formation.<sub> </sub>


    -------------------


    "What a monster! To be able to use such a sword intent at his age. Really incredible", a murmuring sound rang in the air just after Zhan Chen stepped out of the formation.


    An energetic looking old man appeared in the air just after Zhan Chen had left. He threw a curious look towards the fallen body of the devil and the shock in his heart further deepened.


    "What an incredible technique!", he murmured to himself and disappeared into the thin air again.


    Zhan Chen walked leisurely after stepping out of the formation. He had a smile on his face as he felt the presence of the expert. "Fortunately, I have sensed him just after entering the formation. Otherwise, It would be troublesome if he had seen through some of my secrets", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He didn''t face any more trouble while walking out of the forest. There were few magical beasts who came to hinder him but they ran away after sensing the intimidating aura around him.


    There were few Spirit pce experts at the other side of the Serpentine forest. They immediately approached Zhan Chen after seeing him walking out.


    "You cleared all theyers?", an expert of the Spirit pce looked towards Zhan Chen. There was clear disbelief on his face as he observed him.


    Zhan Chen nodded his face calmly and took out his token. He handed over the token to the expert and walked towards the venue of the Grand sectpetition.


    "Wait, I will take you there", another expert of of the Siprit pce shouted from the back.


    "Thank you for your consideration", Zhan Chen spoke and waited for the expert to arrive. The expert of the Spirit pce brought out a flying treasure and Zhan Chen climbed on it to return to the venue of the Grand sectpetition.


    "Zhan Chen, you are really amazing. None of us have thought that you will be the winner of this year''s grand sectpetition", the expert from the Spirit pce spoke while guiding his flying treasure in the air.


    "Senior, thank you again for your praise. If you want we can be acquintances", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Acquaintances, we?", the expert of the Spirit pce became confused.


    "Yes, I have a good proposal for you. If you agree, then it will be highly beneficial for your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The spirit pce expert looked incredulouly towards Zhan Chen and asked him to borate. His confused look turned into a speechless one after he heard what Zhan Chen had to say.


    "You are saying that you can help me in breaking into middle Tribtion realm?", the expert looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head. "And in return you have to protect my women from shadow while they are in the Longyang city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will happily ept such a deal but how can I beleive you? Helping an early Tribtion realm expert in cultivation, that is an absurd im from your part", the expert spoke.


    "Well, it is not like you can deny. Please have some patience before I am prepared to help you", Zhan Chen spoke. The expert nodded his head subconsciously but he was unaware that Zhan Chen had already invaded his soul.


    Zhan Chen had no bad intention for him but he couldn''t risk to have any loose end. He would leave Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun in the Longyang city. So, he was making the arrangement in advance.

 Chapter 272 Punishment

    Sky had started to be darker when Zhan Chen ''s name appeared on the upper level of the stone pir. Amotion immediately started among the crowd after they saw the name glowing with golden colour.


    There was no doubt remained now as the stone pir projected Zhan Chen as the winner of the Grand sectpetition. Like the noisy crowd, the camp of Shen n also became excited after they saw the name of Zhan Chen in the upper section of the stone pir.


    Few of them were already acquaintances of Zhan Chen. So, they were happy for Zhan Chen''s sess. Other cultivators from the Shen n also discussed among themselves with excitement after they saw the name of Zhan Chen glowing with golden colour.


    "I can''t beleive it", Shen Ruyan murmured as her eyes moistened a little. There was a happy smile on her face as she turned to look at Su''er and Ling''er.


    A smile appeared appeared on her face after she saw the dazed expression on the faces of both of the girls. She suddenly remembered something and turned her head to look for Liu Nanxi.


    "Where is she?", she thought to herself with a confused look on her face.


    ''Young miss, good for you. Zhan Chen is so capable. He will definitely make you his woman. As for me, I am happy that he thinks me as his woman. We have already shared some moments and that would be enough for me in this life", Liu Nanxi thought to herself with aplicated look on her face. She had already gone to a distance from the Shen n group and observing the excitement in the crowd from a safe distance.


    "Pah!", suddenly a pnded on her perky back.


    "Who is it?", Liu Nanxi turned her head with an angry look on her face. Her anger subsided as soon as she saw the smiling face of the perpetrator.


    "Zhan Chen!", a flustered look appeared on her face as she spoke Zhan Chen''s name.


    "Pah!", another pnded on her buttock as a stinging sensation coarsed through her mind. Zhan Chen saw the hard to describe look on her face and gave another p to her buttock cheeks.


    "Ah~", she cried out softly and took few steps back to save herself from Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, what are you doing?", she asked angrily.


    "Ask yourself, why am I doing this?", Zhan Chen smirked at her and closed the distance between them.


    "What do you mean?", Liu Nanxi looked at Zhan Chen with a confused look on her face.


    "You have been running from meeting me and that is giving me mental agony. Moreover, sometime ago, you are nning to give up on me for your entire life. Is not it cruel from your part?", Zhan Chen asked her with an angry look on his face.


    "I am sorry", Liu Nanxi couldn''t match his intense re and finally bowed her head. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw her like this.


    "Sorry is not enough. There should be punishment for your act. Afterall, bad girls ought to be punished to correct their behaviour", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Nanxi felt a certain premonition and her heart skipped a bit. She felt something building up inside her lower belly after she saw the look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Follow me", Zhan Chen spoke and led her to a nearby cave.


    "Strip now", Zhan Chen ordered her after entering inside the cave. Liu Nanxi wanted to say something but she couldn''t protest after seeing the look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    She felt slightly humiliated but for some reason she felt wet inside her crotch. She nodded her head and started to put away her clothes.


    "Good, you have grown in these few days", Zhan Chen spoke while measuring her chest with his eyes.She still had her undergarment on but Zhan Chen could easily see through her silky cover.


    He pulled the string and unwrapped her assets from her tightly bound cage. Two pristine white massive peaks revealed themselves after Zhan Chen pulled her undergarments.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen leaned forward and took one of her peak inside his mouth. Liu Nanxi felt an uncontroble urge as Zhan Chen yed with her bud witth his tongue.


    "Mmmm~", she moaned softly as Zhan Chen tickled the pink bud on her breast. Her pink bud started to harden as Zhan Chen circled his tongue around it.


    Waves of pleasure coarsed through her body as Liu Nanxi couldn''t supress herself anymore. She pressed Zhan Chen''s head on her breast and released a stream of water from herher region.


    "See, you shouldn''t supress yourself like this. Otherwise, you will one day wet your undergarment like you have done now", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Nanxi felt so ashamed that even her neck turned red. But for some reason, she wanted Zhan Chen to continue whatever he was doing.


    "Now, tell me. What should be your punishment?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi.


    "Have not you given your punishment now?", she asked with a shy look on her face.


    "Ahh! How enchanting. But I am not going to forgive you just by looking at your beautiful face. A punishment is most to correct your behaviour", Zhan Chen spoke with a serious look on his face .


    "Then what is the punishment?", Liu Nanxi asked subconsciously. For some reason, she was looking forward to Zhan Chen''s reply.


    "Get on all fours", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Nanxi nodded her head shyly and crouched down on the ground. Her beautiful back wrapped in her undergarment gave a good treat to Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen pulled down her undergarment and freed her bouncy half moons. They looked so plump and breathtaking that Zhan Chen almost could not control himself.


    He still controlled himself and brought his hand towards her buttocks.


    "Pah", a sound reverberated in the air and Liu Nanxi let out a flustered moan. Nothing happened for a moment and Liu Nanxi feltthe moment as excruciatingly painful.


    How she want Zhan Chen to p her other side but Zhan Chen dyed a while to torment her. Finally when she was trying to look back, Zhan Chen brought his other hand down.


    "Ahhhh~", Liu Nanxi moaned sweetly as her buttocks reddened. Zhan Chen continued to p her plump assets and Liu Nanxi felt like she was riding a tumultuous boat.


    "Well, seems like you are enjoying yourself", Zhan Chen spoke and stopped tormenting Liu Nanxi. Her round buttocks werepetely red now and there were few fingerprints on the plump surface.


    Liu Nanxi threw a confused look at Zhan Chen after he stopped moving his hands. She couldn''t understand why Zhan Chen ended her bittersweet trial.


    "Now I want to here your honest answer. Tell me whether you want to do it with me or not. If yes, you have to say it properly. Otherwise, I will stop whatever we are doing and conclude that you do not like me at all", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No, please do not stop. You can make love with me however you want", Liu Nanxi spoke with blushing cheeks. She refused to look at Zhan Chen after saying her part.


    Zhan Chen chuckled by her response and decided to not test her patience anymore. His little brother was already raring to go. So, he let it out and ced it on the entrance of her sacred cave.


    The journey further down was bound to be wonderful as Zhan Chen let himself sink in the mysterious river of pleasure.

 Chapter 273 Meeting With The Fang Clan

    "Nanxi, how about lending me this ce of yours?", Zhan Chen asked as he poked her tightly closed entrance.


    "What are you doing?This ce of mine is.....", Liu Nanxi stuttered as she turned to look at Zhan Chen with reddened cheeks. She was still on her fours when she turned to look at Zhan Chen.


    "Your punishment will be over if you agree", Zhan Chen spoke as he rubbed his dragon on her tightly closed entrance.


    "But this ce most be nasty", Liu Nanxi spoke with a shy expression on her face. "I don''t care", Zhan Chen replied with a passionate look on his face.


    Liu Nanxi saw the eager expression on Zhan Chen''s face and finally surrendered to his demand. "Okay, you can put it in", she spoke with a very low voice. Herst words were so ephemeral that they barely reach Zhan Chen''s ears.


    "Good girl", Zhan Chen spoke and brought his hand downward. A jolt ran through Liu Nanxi ''s body after she received the sudden p.


    "Okay, brace yourself. I am putting it inside", Zhan Chen spoke. Liu Nanxi nodded her head with anticipation as Zhan Chen slowly thrusted his waist.


    "Ahhh~", Liu Nanxi let out a small cry as Zhan Chenpletely stabbed his dragon inside her cave. He started to move slowly and Liu Nanxi gradually started to feel the pleasure.


    It was a different kind of sensation she was feeling right now. Such act seemedpletely immoral but she started to feel pleasure from such an act.


    She gradually lost her mind in pleasure as Zhan Chen started to move his hips more powerfully. Drops of liquid came out from her sacred cave as she drowned herself in bestial pleasure.


    Zhan Chen could see that waves of nefarious energy rising from their union as both of them indulged in such an unbing passion. He felt slightly curious and allowed a little bit of nefarious energy to flow inside Liu Nanxi ''s mind.


    Such an amount couldn''t affect herpletely but it would definitely increase her lust. Zhan Chen wanted her to be more forthright as she was always a reserved girl despite their rtion.


    "Zhan Chen, can you be little fast?", Liu Nanxi asked after few moments. Her face waspletely red as her body temperature went up.


    "This is what I want to see", Zhan Chen chuckled and started to stab her more faster.


    "Mmmm~


    There~


    That spot exactly~", Liu Nanxi actively expressed herself as she became more demanding in their union. The stimtion went up gradually and she finally let out a huge stream of fragrant water.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop even after she reached her peak and pounded her fiercely with his dragon.His dragon started to be much fiercer, the more he pounded Liu Nanxi.


    He finally reached his peak after several minutes and deposited his yang essence with a grunt. A line of white came out from her forbidden cave as Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon.


    "Zhan Chen, can we do it again?", Liu Nanxi asked with a flustered expression. She was feeling awkward but she couldn''t supress her violent desire no matter how she tried.


    "Of course, we can. But I can''t keep you in this position unless you hurt your knees in this process", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then what should I do?", Liu Nanxi asked.


    "Lie on your back and we can start right away", Zhan Chen replied.


    --------------------


    "Uh!", Liu Nanxi massaged her head slightly and opened her eyes. She blushed heavily after discovering herself in the same cave.


    She was still naked and the smell of their body fluiding from the cave. But for some reason, her body waspletely clean.


    "How are feeling?", the voice of Zhan Chen came. Liu Nanxi turned her head and found Zhan Chen meditating on a corner.


    A dazed look appeared on her face for a moment before she forcefully shook herself out of it. She hurriedly collected her clothes and put them on.<sub> </sub>


    "I am okay", she spoke with an awkward look on her face. "She is still so reserved", Zhan Chen shook her head inwardly and stood up from his ce. He walked towards her slowly and pulled her into his embrace.


    Unlike before, Liu Nanxi did not struggle at all. She leaned against Zhan Chen''s chest and wrapped her hands around his back.


    The tender moment continued for a while before she separated herself from his embrace. "I have to go. Young miss must be worrying about me", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Okay, you can leave but before that", Zhan Chen looked towards her luscious lips. Liu Nanxi felt shy but she still gathered courage and gave a peck on Zhan Chen''s cheeks.


    She hurriedly flew away after leaving the moisture on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Such a reserved girl!", Zhan Chen shook his head in amusement as a smile appeared on his face. He also decided to leave the cave after Liu Nanxi was gone.


    "What is happening? Why our Fang Tai is not here yet?", Zhan Chen heard a ruckus among a section of the crowd.


    "Our sect''s Zhou Zheng is also not here", another cultivator spoke with a worried look on his face. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness slightly and found simr conversations happening in the vicinity.


    His curiousity arose as he walked towards a certain group in the crowd. "Excuse me. Can you tell me how many cutivators hase out after the beginning of the test?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Brat, are you not watching? Why should we answer your question?", an ill tempered cultivator spoke. But his expression changed after he saw the expression of hispanions.


    "Young master Chen, please forgive brother Haong. Our Fang n has no intention to insult you or anything", another cultivator spoke with a sincere look on his face.


    "So, you all are from the Fang n?", Zhan Chen asked with a curious look on his face. The gathered cultivators nodded their heads and looked nervously towards Zhan Chen.


    "To be honest, I am not proficient in the matters of the centralnd. So, I am unable to recall where have I heard your Fang n name", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master Chen, it doesn''t matter. Our n is happy that you choose to have a conversation with us", the cultivator from the earlier spoke with a smile on his face. The ill tempered cultivator wanted to speak something but hispanions shut his mouth forcefully.


    Zhan Chen asked the Fang n cultivators about the test and a thoughtful look appeared on his face after he heard their rely. "So, there are total sixteen cultivators who havee out from the Sepentine forest untill now", Zhan Chen asked the Fang n cultivators for confirmation. All of them nodded their heads and a frown appeared on his face.


    "There was something wrong with the behaviour of the beasts. I thought it was only a whim but from the low turn out of the cultivators, I can tell that there is certainly something wrong with the Serpentine forest", Zhan Chen spoke with a pondering look on his face.


    "Young master Chen, is not there Spirit pce experts?", a Fang n cultivator asked Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, there are few of them but they are not guarding the inner areas of the Serpentine forest", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Young master Chen, what should we do now? Our n''s Fang Tai is still inside the Serpentine forest", a cultivator spoke out worriedly.


    "Fools, there is no time to waste. We should go quickly to talk with the Spirit pce cultivators", an old man who was silent untill now spoke.


    "Young friend, will youe with us?", the old man asked Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and descended the hill along with the Fang n cultivators. They walked towards the center of the battle ground where the stone pir was erected.


    "Look, it is Zhan Chen", several spectators noticed Zhan Chen. The Lu n and the Xuantian sect also noticed Zhan Chen as he walked towards the stone pir along with the Fang n cultivators.


    "Zhan Chen, wait", a voice came from behind as a mighty aura came crashing towards the Fang n cultivators. Zhan Chen stopped along with the Fang n cultivators and turned to look at the source of the mighty aura.


    There was a gracious lookingdy floating in the mid air and her gaze was currently fixated upon him.


    Zhan Chen frowned a little but he had to hide his displeasure because the expert infront of him was an emperor. He slightly bowed towards the expert in courtesy and waited to see the motive behind her appearance.

 Chapter 274 Huang Ruoxin

    "Oh! You seem to be resisting my pressure", thedy in the air looked toward Zhan Chen with a surprised look on her face.


    "Senior, it is a pleasure to meet with you. May I know why have you stopped me?", Zhan Chen asked with a calm expression on his face.


    "Zhan Chen, I have other ount to settle with your n but before that I want to know what happened in the Serpentine forest", the gracious lookingdy spoke.


    "Senior, if it is not much can you tell me your name? If I can recall, my family has never dealt with a powerful senior like you", Zhan Chen looked towards thedy in the sky.


    "Hmph! It is true that your immediate family has nothing to do with me but it does not mean you can escape the responsibility of your ancestors. I will hold the current generation ountable for the misdeeds of the old", the gracious lookingdy spoke with a snort. There was visible anger on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "As for my name, it is Ruoxin and my n name is Huang", thedy added further.


    "Now tell me clearly what happened when you entered the Serpentine forest. I want to know every details of your test because few of my juniors are yet toe out of the forest", Huang Ruoxin spoke.


    -----------------


    "Where are you untill now? You should have atleast informed someone if you found something so suscipicious", Huang Ruoxin red towards Zhan Chen after hearing his words.


    "Forget it. There is no point in talking with irresponsible men", she spoke before flying towards the Serpentine forest.


    "Irresponsible?", Zhan Chen stood shocked for a moment before shaking his head in amusement. "It may be important for you because your nsmen are involved. But why should I give this incident priority? I havee out without trouble and none of my women are involved. It is obvious that I will focus on my woman before thinking about public good", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Young friend Chen, what should we do now?", he heard a question and turned to his side. The Fang n cultivators were adjusting their bearings because the aura of Huang Ruoxin was too much for them.


    Zhan Chen looked towards the old expert who had asked the question and a pondering look appeared on his face. "Senior, I think we should follow her and go the the Serpentine forest ourselves. The Spirit pce experts must have taken some steps after hearing her information", he replied to the old expert of the Fang n.


    "Young friend, you are telling the truth. There is no point in wasting our time here", the old expert from the Fang n agreed to the suggestion of Zhan Chen. They followed after Zhan Chen and raced towards the Serpentine forest.


    There were grim looks on the faces of Spirit pce experts after they heard the words of Huang Ruoxin. She was adamant about entering the forest but the Spirit pce experts denied her entry.


    ? "Girl from Huang n, please control yourself. Let me check first and I will inform if there is any problem inside the Serpentine forest", the Spirit pce emperor realm expert spoke.


    Huang Ruoxin nodded her head as she couldn''t offend Spirit pce just because of her whim. She waited patiently as the Spirit pce expert entered the Serpentine forest.


    "I can''t beleive this", the emperor realm expert from the Spirit pce murmured as he saw the dire state of the participants. The magical beasts were rampaging as they were inflicting injuries after injuries on the top hundred participants.


    "How did the situation turn into this?", the Spirit pce expert murmured with shock as he saw the desperate struggle of the participants. He immediately released his aura and the magical beasts scuurried away in fear.


    "Everyone, please don''t panic. The top ten cultivators are already choosen. So, there is no point in continuing thepetetion any longer. All of you can follow me and leave the forest", the emperor realm expert spoke.


    He took out a tailsman and sent a signal to nearby Spirit pce experts. His goal was to check if any other participants left out in the Sepentine forest.


    Zhan Chen and Fang n experts just arrived infront of the Sepentine forest when the remaining participants wereing out. A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after saw the pathetic state of the cultivators.


    "Yuxing, what happened to you?", a panicked voice came from the air as Huang Ruoxin rushed towards the returning participants. Her eyes were on a female cultivator who was walking with difficulty with the support of her sword.<sub> </sub>


    "Aunt Ruoxin", a rxed expression appeared on the female cultivator''s face after she saw the rushing Huang Ruoxin. Her eyelids became heavy on it''s own as she lost her conciousness.


    The Fang n also rushed towards a certain direction as they found a junior of their own. There were chaos everywhere as various experts rushed forward to look after their own geniuses.


    "Can someone tell me, how many participants returned?", a cultivator asked in a loud voice.


    "There are eighty six total including those who havee out earlier", a Spirit pce expert replied.


    Groups of powerful cultivators entered the Serpentine forest and when they returned, there were grim look on everyone''s faces. It was because they were carrying some mutted bodies and there were visible anger on some of the experts'' faces.


    The cultivators who had died were the best of the younger generation. So, it was natural to feel anger if they lost them like this just because of a test.


    "Spirit pce, we want an exnation", various powers started a ruckus as soon as the chaos settled a little. Zhan Chen stood with the Xuantian sect experts as he saw the words of confrontation erupted infront of him.


    "Everyone, calm down", finally a mighty voice came from the distant sky and it drowned all the noises among the crowd. The person in question seemed to be far away yet his words reverberated in the surrounding area.


    Zhan Chen felt slight uneasy as he knew what kind of expert wasing. Long before, a wizened man appeared infront of the discontent crowd.


    Everyone, what happened is really unfortunate. All we can do is offer condolences. But please rest assure, we will surely find out the reason before tomorrow morning.


    All cultivators are requested toe tomorrow because the prize will be awarded tomorrow morning. The reason for today''s turmoil will also be announced before awards are given to remaining eighty four participants", the wizened expert spoke.


    The powers who had lost their juniors wanted to say something but they hesitated after feeling the invisible auraing from the expert.


    The gathered Spirit pce experts talked with everyone and they persuaded the crowd to wait untill next day morning. The crowd started to dissipate slowly but Zhan Chen felt a gaze on him while he was talking with the Xuantian sect experts. He turned his head and found Huang Ruoxin looking towards him. She snorted a little before looking away.


    "This woman has definitely some grudges with my Zhan n. I need to sort it out unless she make some trouble for us", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, we should also go. None of our sect disciple is harmed. So, we can call us fortunate to escape such a disaster", one of the Xuantian sect elder spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and boarded the flying treasure of one of the elder from the Xuantian sect. They had flown a little when an all epassing aura covered the flying treasure.


    Zhan Chen could see that the peak expert was looking at his body with his soul consciousness. He felt little nervous but he still faced the gaze of the wizened expert with confidence on his face.


    He supressed his cultivation to the Core condensation realm and let it fluctuate a little. And ording to his expectation, the expert withdrew his soul consciousness after seeing through his false state of cultivation.


    "You are indeed a very talented young man. Your cultivation is yet to reach Martial ascension realm yet you obtained the first position in this grand sectpetition. Congrattion, from my Spirit pce. You indeed live upto the name of your n", the wizened expert spoke.


    "Thank you senior", Zhan Chen acted courteously and spoke with the mighty expert from the Spirit pce. Their conversationsted for a brief moment and Spirit pce expert bid his farewell.


    "Finally!", Zhan Chen felt a stone from his heart lifted after the mighty expert from the Spirit pce left.


    "This Spirit pce is indeed something. It is onlyapetition among the junior generation. Yet, they have sent a sage realm expert to watch over it", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 275 Proposal For A Great Adventure

    "Elders, I am taking my leave. I have some unfinished business in the Rosewood inn where I am staying", Zhan Chen spoke. The Xuantian sect elders nodded their heads and Zhan Chen bade them farewell.


    "Brat, where have you run to? Look at these girls. How anxious they are for your safety?", the second elder of the Lu n chided Zhan Chen as soon as he returned to the Lu n side.


    There was a hint of jealousy hidden in his eyes as he saw the group of women looking at Zhan Chen. There were young and mature, all sorts of women associated with Zhan Chen. Although he was not sure, but the mature looking Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun also seemed to be in love with Zhan Chen.


    Anyone would feel envy after seeing such a collection of women in a young boy''s hand and the second elder was not an exception.


    "Senior, thank you for your concern. I will talk with them after returning to the Rosewood inn", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The second elder felt a headache as he noticed the shifting nces of Lu Mingxi towards Zhan Chen. He wanted to chide Zhan Chen but on second thought he decided against it.


    "Tai Cang, yo can can apany them to the Rosewood inn. I will take others to the Longyang city", the second elder spoke to Lu Tai Cang.


    Lu Tai Cang brought out his flying treasure and everyone from Zhan Chen''s side boarded it along with Zhan Chen. Lu Tai Cang gave ast nce towards the stone pir before jumping into his flying treasure.


    "Zhan Chen, I can''t still beleive it. You emerged as the winner despite the presence of several monstrous geniuses in the grand sectpetition!", Lu Tai Cang spoke. There was only admiration in his eyes as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I am honoured that you helped us untill now. I want you to assist me if need arises in future", Zhan Chen spoke. Lu Tai Cang nodded his head as a pleased look appeared on his face.


    He bade his farewell after reaching infront of the Rosewood inn. He had few questions for Zhan Chen but he had to suppress his curiousity after seeing the intense looks in the eyes of several of Zhan Chen''s women.


    "Zhan Chen, I can''t beleive it. You be the first in this year''s grand sectpetition. Just the thought about it, making me happy", Sun Xiun was the first to speak. Others also had the same opinion as they looked towards Zhan Chen with loving looks in their eyes.


    "Little Chen, I am leaving for my room. You can visit me after taking some rest", Zhan Qingyue spoke and escaped towards her room. The little princess of the Red cloud kingdom also gave a shy look to Zhan Chen and followed Zhan Qingyue.


    "Hmm, where is Zi Nuan?", Zhan Chen thought to himself after seeing Zi Ningxi off. He spread his soul consciousness and a smile appeared on his face. "Forget it, I will visit herter", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "For now, let''s concentrate on others first", Zhan Chen thought to himself as a fired up look appeared on his face. There were Sun Xiun, Lin Xintong, Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan inside the main hall. The strange thing was Li Yan willing to stay despite the built up of amorous atmosphere.


    "Girls, it will be a hassle if I have to visit you one by one. So, for once why don''t we do it together?", Zhan Chen spoke as he looked towards all the girls present.


    "Don''t look at me. I am just nning to stay a little longer with you", Li Yan spoke. She had yet to push the final barrier with Zhan Chen. So, her apprehension was understood by others present.<sub> </sub>


    "I will do it, if young master want", Li Shu spoke shyly. Kai Min also nodded her head with reddened cheeks but she had no words to consent to such a shameless act.


    Zhan Chen looked at Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun and both of them started to take off their clothes. Red blushes appeared on the faces of Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan after they saw the shameless acts of both Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun.


    "Now, it is the turn of you three", Zhan Chen spoke and looked towards Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan.


    "Do I also need to take off my clothes?", Li Yan blushed immediately after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Of course. It will be unfair if you get to watch us without doing anything yourself", Zhan Chen spoke with a crafty smile on his face.


    "Xintong, Xiu Lan, help these three to undress. Grand sectpetition is already over. So, we should enjoy ourselves while there is time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lin Xintong, Sun Xiun nodded their heads as it was an unique experience for them to share the bed with three younger girls. They were also feeling shy but the thought of leaving Zhan Chen after thepetetion, made them let go of their apprehension and hesitation.


    Zhan Chen felt an evil fire ring up in his loin after he saw the five beautiful figures appeared infront of him. He admired the texture of their curves as his desire became more violent.


    "Li Yan,e here", he looked towards the most shy among the girls. Li Yan felt her body heating up a little as she noticed the eyes of Zhan Chen on her curves. She felt little apphension but she couldn''t go against Zhan Chen''s words. She slowly walked towards him while covering her revealing under garment with her hand.


    Zhan Chen lifted up her face as soon as she got near and ced a passionate kiss on her lips. Li Yan could only cooperate as she felt Zhan Chen''s wild passion through his lips.


    Zhan Chen pulled the string of the cloth covering her peaks and two small rabbits appeared infront of his eyes. Zhan Chen held both of her twin rabbits with his hands and massaged them while kissing her. Li Yan was already craving for more when he let her go.


    "Girls,e here and join us", Zhan Chen spoke after making Li Yan slightly morefortable. He nted a kiss on each of their lips after they came near him.


    "Young master Chen, let us take care of you first. I promise it will good experience for you with five of us here", Lin Xintong spoke.


    Zhan Chen had no reason to go against her proposal. So, he nodded his head. Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun helped him to undress as his lean body appeared infront of everyone.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min blushed after seeing the evil dragon pointing it''s head towards them. Zhan Chen nted another kiss on each of their lips before sitting on a wooden chairfortably.


    Lin Xintong was the first to kneel down. She struck her tongue out and licked Zhan Chen''s spear with great care and passion. After putting her saliva on every corner, she finally took the dragon inside her mouth.

 Chapter 276 Is Peeking A Good Habit?

    "Slurp! Slurp...", The sphemous sound rang in the air as Lin Xintong moved her head back and forth. Sun Xiun also knelt beside her and took the family jewels of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min felt like something exploding inside their minds as they saw the act of love making infront of their eyes. Li Yan felt a little dizzy as it was her first time witnessing such things.


    "Well, let Li Shu and Kai Min try now. They should also participate because it is a group cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke. Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong nodded their heads and left the ce. Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu and Kai Min as his dragon throbbed in anticipation of their arrival.


    Kai Min felt so shy that she didn''t want to see anyone at this moment. Yet, she followed behind Li Shu and knelt beside her. Saliva was already dripping from Zhan Chen''s dragon. Both of the girls added their own as Zhan Chen grunted slightly in pleasure.


    "Good, both of you are doing great", Zhan Chen spoke as Kai Min and Li Shu tended to his need.Li Yan felt a wet spot developing on her undergarment, the more she watched the movement of Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Li Yan,e here", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Yan felt apprehensive yet she went towards Zhan Chen. "Come, sit on my thigh", Zhan Chen pointed towards his right thigh.


    Li Yan did so clumsily while watching her sister and Kai Min licking the dragon of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen grabbed one of her rabbits while he was being pleasured by Kai Min and Li Shu.


    He squeezed her rabbit as much as he wanted and Li Yan finally started to moan. The buds on her twin peaks stood erectpletely as she got drowned by the waves of pleasure.


    Zhan Chen could see that Li Yan was reaching her peak as it was her first time to feel such sensation.


    "Girls, stop for now", he spoke and left the wooden chair. Li Yan felt confused as Zhan Chen stopped suddenly. But the next action of Zhan Chen made herpletely drunk in pleasure.


    It was because Zhan Chen made her sit on the chair and took out herst undergarment. Her pink pce came to to the view of everyone as he made her raise her legs.


    Li Yan ''s mind went nk as Zhan Chen ced his tongue on her sensitive entrance. She started to let out pleasant moans after Zhan Chen invaded her pink pce with his tongue.


    She was already at her limit to begin with. So, it didn''t take time for her to reach the peak. A stream of fragrant water came out from her sacred garden and flowed into Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    "It tastes good", Zhan Chen murmured while smacking his lips. Li Yan blushed heavily after hearing his words and seeing him smacking his lips.


    "Li Yan, how does it feel?", Zhan Chen asked while she was lying on the wooden chair. "It is good", Li Yan replied while blushing.


    "Good, take some rest now. You can join us if you feel like it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Girls, should we move to a nearby room?", Zhan Chen asked as they were still in the main hall. All the girls nodded their heads as all of them wanted to move to a closed room.


    "Well then, we can move to Xiu Lan''s room", Zhan Chen nodded his head and walked towards Sun Xiu Lan''s room which was adjacent to the main hall of the Rosewood inn. Li Shu, Kai Min, Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun followed behind him as only Li Yan was left behind in the main hall.


    "Should I follow them?", she thought to herself but decided against it after thinking for a while. She was already satisfied with the intimacy from earlier. So, she didn''t want Zhan Chen and others to disturb anymore.


    She sat on the wooden chair for a while before a peculiar sound reached her hear.<sub> </sub>


    "Ahhh~Mmm~Ahhh~", she heard the thought provoking sounding from the closed door. To her surprise, the sound wasing from Kai Min ''s mouth who was generally a reserved girl in public.


    Li Yan tried to ignore the voice but the voice crept into her mind no matter how she tried to prevent it. An itch came from herher pce as she felt her body heating up on it''s own.


    "What are they doing? Shall I take a peek?", she thought to herself after struggling to control her urge. The door was not closedpletely. So, it was easy for her to enter. Her eyes immediately fell upon the bed from where the sound wasing from.


    "He is like a bull!", Li Yan blushed heavily after seeing the scene of anarchy on the bed. Li Shu was lying on a side as there was a blissful look on her face. Kai Min was standing on her fours and Zhan Chen was pounding his waist on her back while supporting his hands on her slender curve.


    "Wee Li Yan. I thought you will decide against it", Zhan Chen spoke while moving his waist behind Kai Min. Few momentster Kai Min reached her peak and copsed on the bed after releasing a stream of fragrant water.


    "I, ....", Li Yan did not know what what to say as she blushed heavily. "You can continue. I will not disturb you anymore", she spoke before bolting out of the room. Her heart skipped like a little dear as she recalled the union between Zhan Chen and Kai Min.


    "I will wait for him untill he finished with others", Li Yan thought to herself while leaving towards her room. The anarchial activity inside Sun Xiu Lan''s room continued even after the little disturbance caused by Li Yan.


    "Now, it is you two big girls tu Zhan Chen spoke after licking the sacred garden of Kai Min clean. His dragon was throbbing slightly as it was yet to be satisfied even after its contact with Li Shu and Kai Min.


    Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun immediately came near Zhan Chen after hearing his word. Both of them had anticipating looks on their faces as they saw the towering dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Why don''t you use your mouths a bit? We can continue after you make it more wet with your tongues", Zhan Chen spoke. Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun happily obliged as both of them knelt before Zhan Chen.


    Both of them sticked out their tongues and started to lick the dragon of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen held the head of Sun Xiun and pushed his dragon against her throat. A look of enjoyment appeared on his face as his dragon got gripped by her mouth.


    Both of the girls understood his implication and tried to swallow his dragon as deeper as they can. Zhan Chen''s dragon throbbed violently as he felt a good amount of pleasure by both of the girls effort.


    "Good, now we can start", Zhan Chen spoke as he pulled both of the girls from the ground. Both of the stood on their fours immediately as their perky backs faced Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Pah!"


    "Pah!", two psnded on the buttocks of Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong as a look of enjoyment appeared on both of their faces. Zhan Chen didn''t want to wait anymore as he pierced the cave of Lin Xintong with his dragon.


    The sound of flesh colliding rang in the air as Zhan Chen pounded Lin Xintong passionately. Li Shu and Kai Min felt like wetting themselves once again as both of them watched the debaucherous scene.


    "Ah! I can''t take it anymore", a childish voice came from the air and it stopped the activity in the room. Li Shu, Kai Min, Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun didn''t know what is happening but an amused look appeared on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Little girl, no need to hide anymore. I have noticed you peeking while I am doing it with Kai Min", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 277 Little Girl

    "Stinky big brother, you are so shameless!", aining voice came from the air as a little girl appeared just above the ground. She was a little pretty girl with a lovable face. The most striking feature about her was her hair which waspletely violet in colour.


    Currently, both of her cheeks werepletely red as she was doing her best to not look at the naked bodies of others present. But despite her effort, her gaze would fall upon the throbbing dragon of Zhan Chen time to time.


    "Little girl, who are you?", Zhan Chen asked as he looked towards the pretty little girl infront of him. Everything about her was shrouded in mystery, So, Zhan Chen looked at her with a curious look on his face.


    The little girl blushed as Zhan Chen was doing nothing to cover his manhood. She poouted a little after seeing the curious look on his face. "Big brother, first promise that you will not tell anyone. Only then, I can introduce me", the little girl spoke.


    "Okay, I promise", Zhan Chen spoke with an amused expression on his face.


    "Hmph! First dress yourself. It is too much to look at you mating like this", the little girl snorted.


    "Mating!", Zhan Chen didn''t know what to say after hearing her words. Lin Xintong, Sun Xiun, Kai Min and Li Shu felt like hiding themselves in a hole after hearing such tant reference to their love making.


    "Don''t look at me like this! I have some basic knowledge about mating where a male and female has to copte for making a baby", the little girl spoke with a proud look on her face.


    "Damn it! This little girl has no sense of propriety. It is better to not indulge her in such talks", Zhan Chen thought.


    "Well then, Follow us to the main hall. You can introduce yourself after we dress up ourselves ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The little girl nodded her head and followed others. She started to introduce herself after everyone present put on their clothes.


    "I am Long Xinyu. I am from the dragon n", her few short words were crazy enough to shock the crowd speechless. Even, Zhan Chen also took a while to calm down himself.


    "Is this why you are able to avoid my soul consciousness?", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu.


    "Yes, it is an inherent ability of mine which I am blessed with since my birth", the little girl spoke while twirling a strand of her violet hair.


    ''Such an insane ability. Sneaking upon a peak sage realm expert without alerting him the slightest! As expected of someone from the legendary dragon n'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "But is not there a rumour that dragon n has already gone extinct?", Sun Xiun asked with a confused look on her face.


    "Who said that? Although I don''t know much about this but there is a huge number of us in the upper realm", Long Xinyu replied.


    "Upper realm! Are you talking about the world beyond this world?", Zhan Chen intervened their talk with a slightly agitated look on his face. He looked towards Long Xinyu as if she was a walking treasure.


    "Yes, I am from the upper realm", Long Xinyu admitted with a in look on her face. She had already revealed her identity. So, she thought it was not a big deal for her to reveal her origin.


    Next what happened was a surprise for her as Zhan Chen became extremely warm to her. He replied to her questions as he enquired about the matters of the immortal realm.


    "What? You have never visited anyone outside from your pce", Zhan Chen became dumbfounded after hearing her reply. She massaged his head in frustration as the little girl looked at him with a curious look on her face.<sub> </sub>


    "Big brother, why are you thinking so much about the upper realm? You had the blessing of the holy tree. So, there should be no problem when you ascend to the upper realm", Long Xinyu spoke.


    "Holy tree? Are you telling about the sacred tree of my Zhan n?", Zhan Chen asked her with a confused look on his face.


    "Holy tree is not only a tree. She is one of the supreme existence in the entire immortal region", the little girl spoke. A look of wonder appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard the words of Long Xinyu.


    ''I know her main body has ascended long ago. But I have never heard about her being a supreme expert'', he thought to himself.


    "Little girl, you have exined yourselfpletely. So, there is no need to doubt you anymore. But I can''t understand one thing. What are you doing in the Longyang city which is far from the beast region", Zhan Chen asked Long Xinyu.


    Long Xinyu fidgated a little as she didn''t know how to reply. Before she could think of any thing, she felt a foreign aura approaching the main hall.


    "A person ising", Long Xinyu spoke before vanishing into the thin air. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and found Lu Tai Cang flying towards the Rosewood inn with a breathtaking speed.


    "Senior, what is the matter?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Tai Cang after he entered the main hall.


    "Zhan Chen, can you beleive it? The culprit of today''s incident was a little girl with violet hair. She has human like appearance but most probably she is someone from the beast race", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Beast race!", Zhan Chen acted as if he was surprised but inwardly he had decided to confront the little girl after Lu Tai Cang left.


    "Yes, she is someone from the beast race. The spirit pce has ascertained this much after searching the memory of the fifth tier magical beasts", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    He asked Zhan Chen to be careful before leaving the main hall. But he had no idea that culprit of the said incident was hiding in the Rosewood inn.


    Zhan Chen gave a meaningful look towards a certain direction after Lu Tai Cang left. There was an angered look on Long Xinyu ''s face as she looked towards the direction of Lu Tai Cang.


    "How frustrating. I can''t do anything except running at this moment", she muttered while twirling a strand of her hair. Her aura became slightly chaotic as she lost control of herself for a brief moment.


    "Little girl, you are already an emperor!", Zhan Chen eximed with surprise on his face. He had never felt so much surprise even after going through so many incidents.


    "Emperor? You mean Law glimpse realm?", Long Xinyu looked curiously towards Zhan Chen. Her mood slightly improved after she saw the shock in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Little girl, what age you are at this moment?", Zhan Chen asked after getting hold of his emotion.


    "Sixteen", Long Xinyu replied without thinking much. She felt confused after seeing the shellshocked expression on everyone''s face.


    "It has been sixteen years since I came out from the egg. If you count the years that I have spent inside egg, then my age would be neen at this moment", Long Xinyu spoke.

 Chapter 278 Long Xinyu

    "You came from the egg?", Lin Xintong, Li Shu, Kai Min and Sun Xiun looked towards Long Xinyu with surprise on their faces. Even the earlier revtion of her being an emperor didn''t attract so much attention from them.


    "Ofcourse, I am. We are unlike you humans who born weak from their mother ''s womb", Long Xinyu snorted.


    "Little girl, you may be an emperor but you are still a dragon fledgling. Let me teach you how you should talk with others", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He walked towards Long Xinyu with a smile on his face and Long Xinyu felt little apprehensive about what he was going to do. If it was any normal time, Zhan Chen would have never messed with an emperor but Long Xinyu was different. He felt no ill will from her and for some weird reason, he could tell that she was not going to harm him.


    The most striking feature of Long Xinyu was her violet hair and Zhan Chen reached towards her hair to tousle it. Two small bumps were on the either side of her head and the true goal of Zhan Chen was to reach those small bumps.


    "Nnnnn~", an enjoying look appeared on Long Xinyu ''s face as he reached towards the bump. He moved aside her silky violet hair and could finally see true appearance of the little bumps.


    There were two little horns protruding from her head and they were looking extremely pretty with the ocean blue appearance.


    Zhan Chen reached towards her horns curiously but Long Xinyu escaped like a startled deer. "Big brother, how can you be so shameless! You can''t touch the horns of female dragons unless you are their partner", Long Xinyu spoke with an exasperated look on her face. There was also a little blush adorning both of her cheeks as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Woah! How cute", Lin Xintong muttered as she saw the blushing expression of Long Xinyu. Li Shu, Kai Min and Sun Xiun were so of same opinion as they watched the startled expression of Long Xinyu.


    "Little girl, it is my bad. I don''t know dragons are so sensitive with their horns", Zhan Chen spoke. Long Xinyu nodded her head as she finally calmed down.


    "So, what are you nning to do now? I don''t know what your goal is but you have already be enemy with many super powers of the centralnd", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu.


    Long Xinyu didn''t speak anything for a while as a look of hesitation appeared on her face. She finally thought things through and looked towards Zhan Chen with a serious look on her face.


    "Big brother, do you hate me?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "Why should I?", Zhan Chen asked her back with a confused look on his face.


    "What about other big sisters? Do you hate me for today''s incident?", she looked towards Lin Xintong, Li Shu, Kai Min and Sun Xiun with a nervous look on her face.


    All the women present became confused after hearing her question. They didn''t know why Long Xinyu was asking such a question.


    "Little girl, no one here hates you. It is a fact that few participants died but what is that have to do with us? Neither of our closed one is harmed. So, there is no reason for us to get upset with you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Oh! Then what about the tribtion realm expert who has visited earlier?", Long Xinyu asked with confusion.


    "He is only here to deliver the news. I am Sure he will never harm you if he finds out that you are with us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then can I stay with you for a while? I promise, I will leave after the door to the Archaic pce opens", Long Xinyu spoke.<sub> </sub>


    "Archaic pce?", Zhan Chen felt confused and looked towards Long Xinyu.


    "Big brother, you do not know about it?", Long Xinyu looked towards Zhan Chen with a startled look on her face.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head in confusion and waited for Long Xinyu to give some exnation.


    "The Archaic pce is one of the most mysterious ce of the immortal realm. Some says it is outside immortal realm and some says it is located in one of the forbidden zones of the immortal realm.


    To tell the facts, no one knows where it is located. The door to the archaic pce opens once in every seven hundred years. It means one would get trapped for seven hundred years if he or she couldn''t leave the Archaic pce in time", Long Xinyu spoke.


    This time it is Zhan Chen''s turn to be surprised as he heard the unbelievable story from Long Xinyu. "I do not understand one thing. If this Archaic pce is somehow linked to the immortal realm, then what are you doing in a lower world?", he looked towards Long Xinyu with confusion on his face.


    "Big brother, what you are asking is the most interesting fact about the Archaic pce. It seems to be linked with immortal world yet it''s doors opened up only in lowers", Long Xinyu exined.


    "How did you know that door is going to be open here?", Zhan Chen asked. Long Xinyu smiled and took out a peculiar looking token.


    There was energy fluctuationing from the token and Zhan Chen could tell that the energy fluctuation was pointing towards a certain direction.


    "It is going to be problematic. I used to beleive that no one from the immortal world can descend to the lowers but I seem to be mistaken", Zhan Chen murmured with a thoughtful look on his face.


    "Big brother, what you have heard is not wrong but it is only partially correct. It is true that most of the experts of immortal world can''t descend to this world but it is not applicable to those who still have lower cultivation realm", Long Xinyu spoke.


    "In short, one cane here as long as his or her cultivation do not exceed the tolerance limit of this world", Long Xinyu exined.


    "What a relief! I thought immortals are going to descend here", Sun Xiun spoke with a rxed expression on her face.


    Other girls also found some sce after hearing the exnation of Long Xinyu but their worries worsened after they saw the deep frown on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "It is a good thing that powerful experts of the immortal realm can''t descend here. But even with their low level cultivators, they can cause havoc in the lower worlds.


    The tolerance limit of this world is sage realm. In short, what we have to face is several sage real experts from the immortal world. Their arrival does not mean an imminent battle but we can''t rule out the possibility of confrontation ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What should we do then?", Lin Xintong asked with a worried look on her face.


    "Nothing, we just need to cultivate ardousy. Raising our overall cultivation is the best possible solution at this moment", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "And another thing. Does not tell others about today''s matter. This little girl will live with us for the time being. Xiun, please keep her with you untill we leave the Longyang city", he added further as he looked towards Sun Xiun, Lin Xintong, Li Shu and Kai Min.

 Chapter 279 Award Of The Grand Sect Competition

    ''Archaic pce! Immortal abode! Both of them most be the same. It means the imperial family is doing its preparation secretly without informing others about the details.


    As for the appearance of space crack and devil race, it most be rted to the gate of Archaic pce but the imperial family is keeping everyone in dark to gain an unfair advantage'', Zhan Chen thought to himself after sending Long Xinyu with Sun Xiun.


    He looked at the three beauties who were looking at him worriedly. An evil glint appeared on his face as he observed their beautiful features.


    "Experts will gather from various ces when it will be time for the opening of the Archaic pce. I don''t know how much time I still have but I must prepare myself. A ce linked to immortal world will never be simple. So, I must be at my best whilepeting with the geniuses of the immortal world", he thought to himself.


    The rest of the night was beautiful as Zhan Chen busied himself in dual cultivation. His hardwork could only be imagined as sweet moans kepting out constantly from the closed rooms.


    ------------------


    "Knock, knock", Zhan Chen knocked the door of Sun Xiun in the early morning. He wanted to check Long Xinyu unless she went and cause some more trouble.


    "Coming", the voice of Sun Xiun came and few momentstter, the door to her room was opened. "Zhan Chen", a smile appeared on her face after she saw him infront of her door.


    "Good morning Xiun", Zhan Chen greeted her and together they entered her room. A speechless look appeared on his face after he saw the deeply asleep creature on Sun Xiun''s bed.


    "This little girl is too reckless. If it goes like this, then sooner orter, she would be caught. If it was before yesterday night, then I have nothing to do with her. But now, after knowing her, I can''t let here to any harm", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Yes, I also don''t want her to be caught. We need to hide her properly. Otherwise, the Spirit pce experts may sniff her out", Sun Xiun added.


    "Xiun, how about staying here today? I will ask Xintong to apany you. Together, both of you can look after her untill I return from the venue of the grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, I will stay with her", Sun Xiun nodded her head as an affectionate look appeared on her face. Zhan Chen smiled and kissed her gently before walking out of her room.


    "Good morning senior", Zhan Chen greeted Lu Tai Cang after seeing him in the main hall. Lu Tai Cang nodded his head slightly but didn''t speak anything. There was a thoughtful look on his face as he seemed to be disturbed by something.


    "Senior, is there some problem?", Zhan Chen couldn''t hold his curiousity after a while and asked Lu Tai Cang. Lu Tai Cang came out of his reverie and finally looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "News hase from the Eastern region. The space crack in the Red mountain is widening rapidly and before long our continent may face a huge number of devils from the shadows", he spoke while looking towards Zhan Chen with a serious look on his face.<sub> </sub>


    "So senior, what is the decision of your n? Is the Lu n nning to assist the imperial family?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Tai Cang after hearing the information.


    "I don''t know. This matter is so important that even the n head can''t decide it on his own. The matter will most probably go to the ancestoral pce of my n", Lu Tai Cang replied.


    "Good, a hurried decision will only create trouble for your n", Zhan Chen spoke. He wanted to warn Lu Tai Cang about the actual danger but he decided against it after thinking for a while.


    ''The true danger is not the devils but the experts who are going to descend from the immortal world. I must increase my cultivation as much as I can before the door to the Archaic pce appears'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, do you know the rewards of the Grand sectpetition?", Lu Tai Cang asked after staying silent for a while. Zhan Chen shook his head as he had yet to think about the rewards.


    "Reward for this year''s grand sectpetition is really marvelous. All the nine powers has decided to contribute. So, the top ten participants will gain the maximum benefit out of thepetetion", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Beside the cultivation resources, top ten participants are allowed to enter the treasurednd of various powers. These ces are full of opportunities and you can speed up your cultivation if you manage to cultivate in such ces", he further added.


    "Oh! Treasurednds! I wonder what sort of opportunities are there in the treasurednds of the nine powers?", Zhan Chen asked with a curious look on his face.


    "All the nine powers have unique treasurends of their own. Our Lu n has an earth pond which is really suitable for those who have earth element affinity. Huo n has sacred altar of fire, Shen n has an ancient graveyard. Other six powers also have their own treasurednds which you will know after you go to visit them", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "But the nine peak powers aside, what I want you to remind is that there is also the Spirit pce. Their treasurednd is the most ancient one and it is really helpful for those who are facing bottlenecks in their cultivation.


    In general time, they will never allow an outsider to their treasurednd but this time, they have no option. You are in for a huge surprise when you visit the treasurednd of the Spirit pce", Lu Tai Cang added further.


    Their conversation continued untill thest of Zhan Chen''s women shown up. Zhan Chen asked Lin Xintong to stay and she happily agreed to his request. Lu Tai Cang felt some confusion but he didn''t want to intrude upon Zhan Chen''s privacy.


    He took out his flying treasure and helped all the girls to board it. After everyone took a seat, he entered inside his flying treasure and took the flying boat into high in the sky.


    The venue of the grand sectpetition was already bustling when Zhan Chen ''s groupnded on the hill. Lu n group was already present on the hill. Their eyes lit up after they saw the arrival of Zhan Chen''s group.


    Zhan Chen greeted the stoic looking second elder and walked towards Lu Mingxi. A shy expression appeared on her face as she saw him walking towards her.

 Chapter 280 The Big Announcement

    "Tai Cang, look at them. I don''t want to believe it but I think their rtionship is not normal", the second elder of the Lu n spoke to Lu Tai Cang through mentalmunication.


    "Second elder, what do you propose then?", Lu Tai Cang asked after hearing the voice of their second elder inside his mind.


    "Tai Cang, we need to talk with Zhan Chen. He must give us a definite answer about what is going on between him and our Mingxi", second elder spoke. Lu Tai Cang nodded his head and looked towards the location where Zhan Chen and Lu Mingxi were sitting. Both of them were deep in conversation and there a happy smile hung on the face of Lu Mingxi.


    ''What is the point in asking about their rtionship? It is a given that our Mingxi has already fallen for this evil brat''s ws'', he thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, who do you think the culprit is? I have received the news yesterday but it is unbelievable to think that a little girl can do such things", Lu Mingxi spoke as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I think you have heard the right news. The said little girl is indeed responsible for yesterday''s incident", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "For now, wait a little. Everything will be clear once the Spirit pce expertse", he added further.


    Their wait didn''tst long as the Spirit pce experts shown themselves after a while. A gigantic lotus shaped treasure came flying towards the venue which amazed the crowd present.


    "A heaven grade treasure", Zhan Chen murmured as the lotus shaped treasure stopped at the middle of the venue.


    "We wee pce master", the warriors of the Spirit pce shouted loudly. All of them knelt in respect when the lotus shaped treasure stopped in the middle of the venue.


    Few robust looking old men stepped out of the flying treasure first. A surprised expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw through their cultivation level. "All of these old things are emperors", he muttered while keeping an eye on the lotus shaped treasure.


    Thest to step out was a middle aged man. Two princess of the Spirit pce were also apanying him as all three of them flew out from the flying treasure.


    "Everyone, thank you for having some patience with my Spirit pce. As promised, we have managed to find out the culprit behind yesterday''s incident", the middle aged man spoke as his voice amplified in the air.


    "Please look at the stone pir. This girl is the one who has caused the death of fourteen participants", he spoke and pointed his hand towards the stone pir.


    The vivid image of Long Xinyu appeared on the stone pir and amotion immediately started among the crowd. Many were in disbelief as they couldn''t beleive that such a lovely girl could kill so many young talents.


    "Pce master, where is she now? This little bitch most pay for killing my grandson", an aggrieved cultivator asked from the crowd. A wild aura surged to the surrounding as everyone became aware of the cultivation level of the cultivator.


    "Senior, please hold your fury. We have checked throughly but it seems like the little girl has escaped from the forest", the pce master of the Spirit pce replied. Some other cultivators asked few more questions and he had to pacify them one by one.


    "Everyone, please hold your grief. Our Spirit pce is looking for the girl at this moment. You should also try on your own and inform us if you find any clue", the pce master of the Spirit pce spoke.<sub> </sub>


    "Now, elder Huo from my Spirit pce will take over from here on. He will be responsible for arranging all the matters rted to the award ceremony", he spoke before leaving towards the ce where his daughters were sitting.


    "This year, there are several changes in the grand sectpetition and the awards are also no exception. I promise, all of you will be surprised when I announce the awards for the top hundred participants", an expert from the Spirit pce rose into the sky and announced to the crowd present.


    "The awards can wait a little as we must first wee the second princess of the imperial family. She will hand over the awards personally to all the participants in the top hundred list", he added further. Arge cheer came from the crowd as the young participants became really excited. Some older experts also couldn''t hide their urge as they waited for the second princess to appear infront of the crowd.


    A beauty came flying towards the center after elder Huo made his announcement. She was not wearing any ornament yet her mere presence made the crowd breathless.


    Xie Lanying looked towards the crowd after reaching near elder Huo. A spell bound expression appeared on many cultivators'' faces after they saw her looking towards them.


    "Her nine lotus exquisite body is really something else. I can feel my blood boiling even though she is covering her face with a veil", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "The participants who are in the top hundred list, pleasee forward. As the imperial family representative, I have a good news for you all", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "This witch is upto something", Zhan Chen muttered and left the side of Lu Mingxi. A questioning look appeared on his face as he saw the smiling Xie Lanying.


    "Little brother, you are looking great. I have been nning to meet you since the start of thepetition but you seem to be busy all the time", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a teasing look on her face.


    "What! Little brother", Zhan Chen felt speechless after hearing her adress towards him. An evil fire burnt fiercely in his loin as he looked at the charming witch infront of him.


    "Good morning, princess. I am fortunate that you are willing to call me little brother", Zhan Chen spoke politely after reigning on his urges. He knew that Xie Lanying was using a bewitching technique but he behaved like as if he had not noticed it.


    A startled expression appeared on Xie Lanying ''s face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She smiled slightly and looked other way to mask her surprised expression.


    "There are total eighty six participants left from the original hundred. The next announcement will be for the seveny six participants who are not among the top ten", elder Huo announced.


    "Each of the participant will get two hundred profound grade spirit stones, twenty earth grade spirit stones and two nirvan grade spirit stones.


    Each of the participant will be awarded with three Meridian strengthening pills and three Sky mist pills", he added further.


    Amotion immediately started among the crowd after they heard the announcement. There were look of amazement and envy on crowd''s faces as they looked towards the top hundred participants.

 Chapter 281 Special Privilege

    "Ohh, sky mist pills! I wonder which power is producing them?", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He felt two pairs of eyes staring at him. So, he turned his head to look at the perpetrators. Two equally ice cold beauties came to his eyes and a look of amazement appeared on his face.


    One of them was the most talented beauty from his Xuantian sect, Jia Lingyi. Zhan Chen could somehow understand if she looked towards him with curiousity on her face but the other beauty was a total surprise for him.


    From the insignia on her robe, Zhan Chen could tell that she was someone from the Frozen cloud sect. Zhan Chen had already seen her fights but never looked at her closely enough.


    The ice cold beauty smiled slightly after seeing Zhan Chen looking at her. Zhan Chen wanted to greet her but before he could say anything, she looked away. Zhan Chen looked towards Jia Lingyi to greet her but she also did the same. Zhan Chen felt speechless after both the beauty avoided him conveniently.


    He felt slightly awkward but his awkwardness did notst because he felt another charming gaze towards him. It was the second princess, Xie Lanying who had be more interested in him after her first failure to bewitch him.


    "Good, I am waiting for this opportunity. The more you be curious, the more I will have the possibility to conquer you", Zhan Chen thought as a glint appeared in his eyes.


    Earlier, he was feeling slightly helpless because Xie Lanying was using an unknown soul treasure to protect herself. Such treasure could protect her from all kinds of soul sense including a peak level soul sense like his own. But now, she was walking into a trap by herself because of her newfound interest towards him.


    "Soul seed technique, what a handy technique!", Zhan Chen thought to himself as his lips curled up a little. He watched the ongoing event with an amused expression on his face.


    Xie Lanying who had yet to know that she was walking into a trap, kept looking at Zhan Chen from time to time. After the announcement, she was giving the awards to the top hundred participants in person.


    She only had to talk a little and most of the participants were already bewitched by her. She only need to give amand and all of them would not hesitate to throw their lives for the imperial family.


    With such charm and invincible technique, Xie Lanying was sure that she could conquer all the men in the world but the appearance of Zhan Chen made her think otherwise. Her curiousity and uneasiness increased with time, the more she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Elder Huo from the Spirit pce started his announcement once again after Xie Lanying handed over the awards to the top hundred participants. There were only ten participants remained who were the center of attention from the crowd at this moment.


    "The top hundred participants are the future hope of our Northern desert continent. The same is true for the top ten rankers who has emerged as the leader among the top hunded participants.


    Keeping the turbulent situation in mind, we have decided to open all the treasurednds for the top ten participants.


    They can visit all of them and take the assistance of unique environments to improve their cultivation level. There is a condition of time limit as it is impossible for the ns and sects to give everyone an unrestricted acess", elder Huo spoke.


    A surprising silence followed the announcement as the crowd took some time to digest the shocker of a news. ''All the treasurednds will be opened for the top ten participants'', it was such a shocker of a news that the crowd got shaken to their core.<sub> </sub>


    "Senior, it is unfair. Why should they have ess to all the treasurednds while we can''t even enter one", a participant among the top hundred rankers looked towards elder Huo. There was an aggrieved look on his face as he observed all the cultivators in the top ten list.


    "How many of you think it is unfair? Please step forward", elder Huo spoke. Few other participants who were in the top hundred list also stepped forward as there were visible jealousy on their faces.


    "It is natural that all of you find the situation uneptable but this is the real truth of the cultivation world. Winner takes it all while loser could only watch helplessly.


    I have no obligation to give you all an exnation but I am still giving you a chance. Challenge anyone among the top ten participants and you can take their ces if you manage to win", elder Huo spoke.


    "But there is one condition. You life will be at their mercy if you lose. You can no longer pull away safely after losing the challenge", he further added.


    "Tell me, how many of you are prepared now?", he further asked and looked towards the aggrieved participants.


    There was a deafening silence among the participants as they tried to hide their faces. Their hearts were overflowing with jealousy but they choose to swallow their bitterness.


    "Cowards", loud boo came from the crowd and it became more embarassing for the aggrieved participants. It was supposed to be their glory day, yet all they could receive was humiliation and bitterness.


    "Don''t be hopeless. You can still surpass them if you do your best. My family will triple the award whoever choose to join the imperial army", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Princess, can I join your personal army?", a participant asked with an expectant look on his face.


    "Wee. You can join as a captain in my Redhawk army", Xie Lanying replied with a smile on her face.


    Zhan Chen saw the entire ficaso with amusement in his eyes as he saw Xie Lanying manipting the participants. She kept looking at him time to time as her curiousity kept increasing with the passing time.


    "Finally, it is time for announcing the award for the winner of thepetition. Our pce master will personally handover the award to Zhan Chen who has won this year''s grand sectpetition", elder Huo spoke.


    A loud cheer came from the crowd as elder Huo looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen bowed slightly towards elder Huo to show some courtesy to the old tribtion realm expert.


    "Zhan Chen as the winner of thepetition will receive all the awards that the top ten participants are receiving. Besides that, he can choose any Nirvana grade artefact from my Spirit pce or from the treasury of the imperial family", elder Huo announced.


    "Now it is interesting", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he thought what he could gain from the Spirit pce and the imperial family. He had to stop his train of thoughts after the pce master of Spirit pce appeared infront of him.

 Chapter 282 Invitation From The Spirit Palace

    "Little friend, I have heard a lot about you", the pce master of the Spirit pce spoke. There was a gentle smile on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed slightly to show some courtesy to the pce master of the Spirit pce.


    "No need to be so formal infront of me. You can call me uncle Zhuyan if you want. My family name is Chi. So, you can call me uncle Chi also", the pce master of the Spirit pce spoke.


    Zhan Chen could see sincerity in his voice. So, he also do away with some of his reservation. "Well, uncle Zhuyan then", he spoke.


    A surprised look appeared on the face of second princess after she witnessed the conversation between the pce master of the Spirit pce and Zhan Chen. Confusion bubbled up in her heart as she saw the smiling Chi Zhuyan. ''ording to sources, the pce master of the Spirit pce always stays aloof. Even emperor realm experts fear him because of his heaven gazing eyes. I can''t understand why a formidable expert like him acting so warm to Zhan Chen'', she thought to herself.


    "Zhan Chen, you most visit my Spirit pce before leaving the Longyang city. We are opening our Soul ind tomorrow. So, it will be best if you visit us today", Chi Zhuyan spoke before handing over a spatial ring to Zhan Chen. He threw a look at the other participants before vanishing from the air.


    The award to the final winner was thest event of the grand sectpetition. Elder Huo announced the end of thepetition and the onlookers started to leave one by one.


    Zhan Chen smiled towards the second princess before leaving the center of the venue. Xie Lanying also smiled in return with a curious look adorning her beautiful face.


    "Zhan Chen, wait", she called out before he could leave. Zhan Chen stopped on his path and looked back to see Xie Lanying. He was not sure why the beautiful witch from the imperial family calling him.


    "Zhan Chen, I am also extending an invitation to you in my family''s behalf. Our imperial family will be happy to see you as a guest in the Heavenly phoenix city", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Sure, it will be my honour to visit the imperial family", Zhan Chen replied.


    ----------------


    "Pce master, I don''t understand why you are so warm to that brat", third elder of the Spirit pce asked to Chi Zhuyan. There was a puzzled look on his face as he knelt infront of the throne where Chi Zhuyan was sitting.


    "Elder Shang, how should I put it? Zhan Chen is someone who is more heaven defying than my Yin''er", Chi Zhuyan spoke. There was a pondering look on his face as he thought about the vision when he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Pce master, how can you say so? Second princess is someone who is gifted with Heavenly innate body", elder Shang interjected.


    "I am not so sure but I guessed it. You will be surprised to know that I couldn''t see through his fate", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "Is it for real? How can he escape a technique which hase from the immortal world?", elder Shang eximed with an rmed look on his face.


    "That''s why I have decided to get friendly with him. My intuition is telling me that he will be a boon for my Spirit pce", Chi Zhuyan replied.


    Elder Shang nodded his head in understanding as a curious look appeared on his face. He proceeded to inform some other matters to Chi Zhuyan before taking his leave.


    ''A person who has transcended heaven''s fate. I wonder what surprise he will bring to my Spirit pce'', pce master of the Spirit pce thought to himself after elder Shang left.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen met with the cultivators from the Xuantian sect after leaving the venue of the grand sectpetition. He greeted Ying Chao and other elders before looking at Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua.


    "Zhan Chen, what is your nning from here on?", Ying Chao asked.


    "Senior, the soul ind of the Spirit pce will be opened tomorrow. After visiting it, I will go with you to the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Well then, resolve your matters quickly. Tomorrow, both you and Lingyi will enter the Soul ind along with other eight participants", Ying Chao spoke.


    Zhan Chen bade his farewell to Xuantian sect cultivators and returned to the side of Lu n. Lu Tai Cang, Lu Mingxi and second elder of the Lu n were waiting for him along with rest of the Lu n participants.


    "Zhan Chen, it is a shame that none of our juniors make it to the top ten list. Three of them are among the top hundred participantsbut they are unlucky to miss out the top ten ranking.


    Thus, we are nning to leave today because there is no point in staying anymore in the Longyang city", the second elder of the Lu n spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, can I visit the Rosewood inn? I have some matters to discuss with you beforre leaving for my n", Lu Mingxi asked. Second elder frowned slightly but he didn''t say anything after seeing the expectant look on Lu Mingxi ''s face.


    "Of course you can. I will dy my visit to the Spirit pce. So that, we can talk", Zhan Chen replied with a smile on his face.


    Lu Tai Cang took out his flying treasure and Lu Mingxi boarded it along with other women of Zhan Chen. She tried to strike a conversation with them but none of them werefortable knowing her cultivation base.


    Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing her indignant look. "I should introduce her to Zhou Xiaoling and Lan Yueyue", he thought to himself.


    Ady was waiting for him when he reached the Rosewood inn. It was a pleasant surprise for him as he was not expecting her in the Longyang city.


    "City lord! What is she doing here?", Li Shu and Kai Min talked among themselves. Zhan Qingyue, Zi Nuan and Zi Ningxi also felt quite a surprise as they could feel the fierce auraing from the valiant lookingdy.


    A smile appeared on her face after she saw Zhan Chen approaching. She frowned a little after seeing some unknown women along with Zhan Chen but she was quick enough to hide her displeasure.


    "Yueyue! What a surprise. I thought you are noting", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face.


    "It is indeed a surprise. The number of women by your side seems to be increasing every day", thedy spoke with an indignant look on her face. Her gaxmze finallynded on Lu Mingxi and a shocked expression appeared on her face.


    "Senior Mingxi!", she immediately called out and stood up from her seat.


    Lu Mingxi felt a little confusion as she couldn''t recognise thedy infront of her. She looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion on her face.


    "Girls, she is Lan Yueyue, the city lord of Hundred blossom city. Her Lan family is one of the duke family under the Xie emperor", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 283 Lan Yueyue

    "So, you are from the Lan family?", Lu Mingxi looked curiously towards Lan Yueyue.


    "Yes, senior", Lan Yueyue nodded her head and looked towards Lu Mingxi in confusion because she couldn''t understand what the most talented person of the Lu n doing in Zhan Chen''s living ce. It never urred to her that Lu Mingxi could be a woman of Zhan Chen like her.


    The most surprised about their conversation was Zhan Qingyue, Zi Nuan and Zi Ningxi. They werepletely in shock because Zhan Chen had managed to get someone from the duke families. Moreover, she was a person with stature, a city lord nevertheless.


    "Little Chen is amazing. His achievement is getting more brilliant everyday. With his achievement, the cultivation levels of his women are getting absurd", Zhan Qingyue thought to herself. Aplicated look appeared on her face but she masked it quickly. She bade her farewell to Zhan Chen and walked towards her room. Other women also got the cue and took leave for their rooms.


    Only Lu Mingxi, Lan Yueyue and Zhan Chen remained in the main hall of the Rosewood inn. "Yueyue, you seems to know Mingxi from before. That will make the things more easy", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Mingxi?", Lan Yueyue felt more confused after hearing the intimate word from Zhan Chen. A premonition rose in her heard which she would have never imagined before today.


    Her confusion faded away slightly after she saw what Zhan Chen was doing. He pulled Lu Mingxi towards him and held her by her waist.


    "Mingxi, do you have any problem with Yueyue?", he looked towards Lu Mingxi. Lu Mingxi didn''t know why Zhan Chen was asking so. So, she shook her her head immediately.


    "And Yueyue, you? Do you have any problem with Mingxi?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lan Yueyue.


    Lan Yueyue felt something odd from the look of Zhan Chen yet she shook her head immediately because it was a fact that she had nothing against Lu Mingxi rather she always admired her from bottom of her heart.


    "Good, you both are more obedient than my imagination", Zhan Chen spoke. Before both of the girls could understand the meaning behind his words, he sealed lips of Lu Mingxi with his lips. Lan Yueyue stood stunned in her ce as it waspletely unexpected for her. Lu Mingxi also felt her mind going nk as she got kissed infront of a junior.


    Zhan Chen didn''t let go her quickly as she started to massage her back with his hands. Lu Mingxi couldn''t even protest as her mouth was upied with Zhan Chen''s lips.


    "Now, it is your tu Zhan Chen looked towards Lan Yueyue after letting go of Lu Mingxi. She couldn''t even protest before her mouth got invaded by Zhan Chen''s lips.


    Both of the women felt shameful to be seen by other women but they couldn''t deny the me of lust rising in their bodies. They wanted to speak a word of protest to Zhan Chen but their minds got overwhelmed by the pleasure, Zhan Chen was inducing on their bodies.


    "Let''s go to my room", Zhan Chen spoke while kneading both of their buttocks with his hands. Both Lu Mingxi and Lan Yueyue nodded their heads shyly as they didn''t want to refute Zhan Chen.


    An evil smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he led both of the girls towards his room. "Strip", amanding voice came from his mouth after all three of them entered his room.


    Lu Mingxi and Lan Yueyue felt like dying as they had never felt so much shame in their lives. Yet, something inside their heart was telling them to obey Zhan Chen''smand without anyint.


    "Yueyue, Mingxi, look at me", Zhan Chen spoke after seeing their inner turmoil. Both of the girls raised their heads and both of their eyes met with Zhan Chen''s own.<sub> </sub>


    "Both of you know already, I will not do anything if you are unwilling. You can leave if you want but let me tell you one thing.


    I really want to see you at the same time. I think it will be amazing if all three of us do it together", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Both of the girls could see the burning gaze of Zhan Chen. Something within their hearts melted as both of them looked towards eachother.


    Zhan Chen could see that the barrier between them was loosening. So, he spoke few more words to encourage them. "Beleive me, if it is possible I couldn''t have think of this method. But time is not our side as all three of us something to do after our union.


    Mingxi has to go back to her Lu n side. Yueyue most be in a hurry to return to her city as it is really hard to move between the Earth province and cloud province. As for me, I need to visit Spirit pce and take care of other things before the opening of the soul ind tomorrow. So, I could only think of this method", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Say no more, I understand", Lu Mingxi spoke and took the lead to undress. Lan Yueyue also set aside her reservation and followed Lu Mingxi to undress.


    Both of their peerless bodies appeared infront of Zhan Chen after they undressed themselves. Zhan Chen took down his own clothes and pulled them into his embrace.


    Their perky mounds pressed against his chest as he shared kisses with both of them. His hands didn''t remain idle as he sized up their buttocks with both of his hands.


    .


    He ced both of their bodies on his bed and made them raise their knees. Both of their little sisters came into his view as he appreciated the hidden treasures of both of them. He leaned forward and ced his mouth on Lu Mingxi''s sacred garden.


    "Mmmm~", a soft moan leaked from Lu Mingxi''s mouth as her sacred garden got invaded by Zhan Chen''s tongue. Her moans became more prominent after Zhan Chen started to move his tongue.


    Lu Mingxi''s body arched up slightly as she felt the jolts of pleasure running through her body. She wanted to stop Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen was relentless with his assault. Finally she couldn''t control herself and released her yin water inside Zhan Chen''s mouth. Her eyes got misted up slightly as the earlier pleasure was too much for her tolerance.


    Lan Yueyue was already half wet by the time Zhan Chen let go of Lu Mingxi. He only needed to stimte her for few seconds before she released her yin water inside his mouth.


    Zhan Chen licked his lips slightly as the water from both of girls went down his throat. His little brother was already raging when he was busy in drinking the sacred water from both of the girls.


    "Mingxi, open your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke and crouched near the face of Lu Mingxi. She opened her mouth obediently and Zhan Chen shoved his entire manhood inside her throat gently.


    "Slurp! Slurp", the vulgar sound came out as Zhan Chen moved his waist passionately. He finally let her go after she reached her limit. He did the same with Lan Yueyue and she was choking on her saliva when he finally let her go.


    Both of the girls blushed heavily after seeing the throbbing dragon infront of them. An expectant look appeared on each of their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 284 An Emperor Has Come To Visit

    "Yueyue, get on your fours", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue nodded her head and shifted her body position with blushing cheeks.


    "Pah", a pnded on her back and Lan Yueyue shivered slightly. Zhan Chen admired her back view for a moment. Then proceeded to put his dragon on her garden''s entrance.


    "Ahhnnn~", an enchanting cry came out from her mouth as Zhan Chen started to move his waist. Lu Mingxi felt a tingling between her thighs as she saw the intimate scene unfold infront of her. She didn''t know when her hand automatically moved towards her sacred garden.


    "Ahhhnnn~"


    "Mmmm~", Lan Yueyue ''s moans gradually became rhythmic as Zhan Chen pounded her fiercely with his dragon. She finally couldn''t resist anymore and released a huge stream of yin water from her sacred garden. A look of euphoria appeared on her face as her body slumped on the bed.


    "Mingxi, it is your tu Zhan Chen spoke and threw an evil look towards Lu Mingxi. An idea came to his mind as he observed her alluring curves.


    "Let''s use the nefarious energy a little and see the girls reaction", he thought to himself before manipting the nefarious energy in the surrounding.


    Lu Mingxi and Lan Yueyue felt something changed in the air as their desire became more violent. They looked at Zhan Chen with expectant looks as their bodies heated up on their own.


    Among Lu Mingxi and Lan Yueyue, the more susceptible one was Lan Yueyue. She threw away her reservationpletely as a greedy look appeared on her face.


    A line of saliva dripped down from her mouth as she looked towards Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen smiled encouragingly at her after seeing her expression.


    "Slurp, slurp", the depraved sound rang in the air as Lan Yueyue did her best to swallow the dragon of Zhan Chen. She was bobbing up her mouth back and forth while looking at Zhan Chen from time to time.


    "Good, you are doing great. Now, can you please allow me to take care of Mingxi", he looked towards Lan Yueyue.


    Lan Yueyue obeyed his request with a reluctant look on her face. She looked towards Lu Mingxi who was doing her best to control herself.


    "Zhan Chen, hurry up. It is too much to handle after you use such tricks", Lu Mingxi spoke while looking at Zhan Chen with a ming look on her face.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the expression on Lu Mingxi ''s face. He moved towards her and ced his dragon on the entrance of her sacred garden.


    "Ahhhh~", Lu Mingxi cried out as Zhan Chen entered her with a single thrust of his hips. Her eyes misted up slightly as the thrust was too sudden for her.


    Zhan Chen leaned on her body and ced a quick kiss on her lips. He proceeded to lick her peaks as Lu Mingxi finally couldn''t control her emotion anymore.


    "Zhan Chen, faster please.....", she begged as Zhan Chen''s slowness was torturous for her current need.


    ------------------


    It was exactly two hours since Zhan Chen had entered his room along with Lan Yueyue and Lu Mingxi. A sweeping soul consciousness fell upon the Rosewood inn which alerted Lu Tai Cang and the little dragon girl.


    Zhan Chen also stopped whatever he was doing and looked outside. A frown appeared on his face as he felt the domineering soul consciousness.


    "What is the meaning of this?", he muttered to himself and looked towards Lu Mingxi and Lan Yueyue. Both of them were already wearing their clothes after feeling the sweeping soul consciousness. There was a worried look on their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t worry. She can''t see anything even if she try hundred times", Zhan Chen spoke. Both of them nodded their heads but the worry in their hearts didn''t lessen a bit.


    "Zhan Chen, this emperor doesn''t seem friendly", Lu Mingxi spoke.


    "I know. She has some grudges with my Zhan n", Zhan Chen spoke. He told Lu Mingxi and Lan Yueyue to wait inside his room but both of them were adamant to follow him along. Zhan Chen couldn''t turn down their requests. So, he let them follow him along.<sub> </sub>


    "Senior Ruoxin, wee to the Rosewood inn. May I know why have you visited us?", Lu Tai Cang asked as he looked towards the beauty in the air.


    "Old man, move aside. I am looking for the Zhan n brat to settle a score", the beauty in the air replied. A domineering pressure fell upon Lu Tai Cang and Lu Tai Cang felt suffocated despite his peak Tribtion realm cultivation.


    "Senior, are you looking for me?", a calm voice came out and the beauty withdrew his soul pressure. She ignored Lu Tai Cang and floated towards the courtyard of the Rosewood inn.


    "Zhan Chen, we meet again", the beauty spoke as he looked towards Zhan Chen. She threw a curious look towards Lu Mingxi, Lan Yueyue and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.


    "Greetings senior", both Lu Mingxi and Lan Yueyue bowed after seeing the emperor looking towards them. Zhan Chen didn''t show any such courtesy as he looked towards the emperor from Huang n.


    "You are Lu Mingxi from the Lu n. Am I right?", the gracious beauty looked towards Lu Mingxi. Lu Mingxi nodded her head as a curious look appeared on her face.


    "And you are from the Lan family, am I right?", she looked towards Lan Yueyue. Lan Yueyue nodded her head as a nervous look appeared on her face.


    "If my memory is correct, you are the youngest city lord of the Northern desert continent. So, tell me, what are you doing with Zhan Chen instead of staying in your Hundred blossom city?", she asked Lan Yueyue.


    "Senior, I havee to visit Lu Mingxi. Zhan Chen happened to be here. So, all three of us met", Lan Yueyue replied after taking a look at Zhan Chen. She was feeling nervous but she tried to appear as normal as possible infront of the emperor.


    "You seem to be not lying but I can''t beleive this brat''s luck. Why are there so many girls inside this small inn?", she looked towards Zhan Chen in doubt.


    "Damn it! What is your problem?", Zhan Chen wanted to shout loudly but the reality was he can''t. He could only supress his frustration as the emperor from the Huang n continued to bother him.


    The name of the emperor was Huang Ruoxin. She had introduced herself when they met after the incident in the Serpentine forest.


    "Both of you girls can take your leave. I have some matters to discuss with Zhan Chen. So, it is better if there is no outsider", Huang Ruoxin spoke.


    Lu Mingxi and Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen after hearing the emperor''s words. "Both of you, please go back", Zhan Chen spoke as he didn''t want to implicate both the girls.


    "Senior, can you tell me now? What is your purpose in visiting me?", he asked Huang Ruoxin affter Lan Yueyue and Lu Mingxi left.

 Chapter 285 The Great War Four Hundred Years Ago

    "I have heard that your ancestor, Zhan Lin is still alive. Is it true?", Huang Ruoxin asked Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, senior hase back recently", Zhan Chen replied.


    "That is good then. I can personally avenge my ancestor after finding Zhan Lin", Huang Ruoxin spoke. There was a calm look on her face but Zhan Chen could feel the deep seated grudge inside her heart.


    "This woman is trouble. Ancestor Zhan Lin seemed to be burdeoned by something when Ist met him. So, I can''t let this woman near him who has such grudge against him", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "How many of your Zhan n experts are still alive? I need to know before doing anything", Huang Ruoxin asked as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Why should I tell you? This is a secret of my Zhan n", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Oh, you think you have a way out?", Huang Ruoxin looked towards Zhan Chen with a sneer on her face. Zhan Chen felt anger after seeing the haughty woman but he still managed to supress his rage and looked towards Huang Ruoxin with an unbothered expression.


    "I have heard that Huang n is the ally of my Zhan n. But I think, I am mistaken", he spoke to Huang Ruoxin.


    "Ally of your Zhan n, what a poor joke! Our rtionship was like vassals who can''t say no to their master", Huang Ruoxin spoke.


    "But time has changed. It is time to cut our ties and get even with you selfish bastards", she further added.


    "Now, tell me. How many of your experts are stil alive. I need to know the details before facing Zhan Lin", she spoke as a torrential pressure came towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could easily resist the pressure of an emperor but doing so would definitely make Huang Ruoxin more mad. So, he was in a dilemma about how to tackle the mad woman infront of him.


    Huang Ruoxin was going to further increase the pressure but she felt something and looked towards the sky. An aura more powerful than her was approaching the Rosewood inn.


    "Lady from Huang n, please stay your hand. Zhan Chen is a guest of our ce master. So, please let him leave with us", a voice floated towards the Rosewood inn.


    "How troublesome!", Huang Ruoxin knitted her eyebrows and looked towards Zhan Chen. She gritted her teeths after seeing the calm expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Brat, I am letting you go for now. But don''t think, you can hide for ever. I will definitely make you talk after you leave the Longyang city", she spoke before vanishing into thin air.


    A glint appeared in Zhan Chen''s eyes after Huang Ruoxin left. He raised his head towards the sky and saw few expertsing towards the Rosewood inn.


    There were five experts who hade from the Spirit pce. Four were silver armoured guards and their leader was a robust looking old man.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen greeted the old man after he reached near him. Lu Tai Cang also came forward and greeted the old man from the Spirit pce.


    "Senior, it is good that you have choosen to intervene. Otherwise, it will be difficult to handle the emperor from the Huang n", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "You should thank our pce master because it is beyond myprehension that an emperor would chose to bully a junior", the old expert from the Spirit pce spoke.


    He observed Zhan Chen with interest after talking with Lu Tai Cang. "Kiddo, you are indeed something. I haven''t seen a trace of fear in your eyes even when you are facing an emperor", he spoke to Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    "Senior, you are overpraising me. After all, who wouldn''t be nervous while facing an emperor", Zhan Chen replied.


    He invited the Spirit pce experts to the main hall but the old man rejected his offer. "Our pce master is waiting for you", he spoke before leaving with the silver armoured guards.


    Lu Tai Cang took a sigh of relief after the Spirit pce experts left. A worried expression appeared on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, your encounters are bing more ridiculous with each passing days. When I met you first, you are dealing with tribtion realm experts. But now, emperors areing to find trouble with you", he spoke to Zhan Chen.


    "Do you think I want to face the emperors?", Zhan Chen spoke after hearing Lu Tai Cang ''s words. An angry expression appeared on his face as he thought about Huang Ruoxin.


    "Senior, Tai Cang, what is her deal? Why do she want to find trouble with my ancestor?", he asked Lu Tai Cang.


    "Zhan Chen, what happened to Hung n, I do not know. But it most be rted to the great war that ured between your Zhan n and the Beitang imperial family", Lu Tai Cang replied.


    "I know you have many questions regarding the past matters. But let me tell you in advance, I have very little information regarding the past events", he further spoke.


    "I indeed have many questions regarding the decline of my past family. But my curiosity of earlier has turned into a necessity after this encounter with Huang Ruoxin. I most understand what happened back then. After then, I can decide what to do with her", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You want to find trouble with an emperor?", Lu Tai Cang blurted out after hearing his words. A speechless expression appeared on his face after he saw Zhan Chen nodding his head.


    "This is crazy. What ever you have done earlier does not matter. But here we are talking about emperors, the supreme existence who are only below the mysterious sages", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    Zhan Chen could see the worry hidden in his words. So, he didn''t refute him. "Senior, don''t worry, i will think about it only in future. For now, my sole focus in on increasing my cultivation", he spoke to Lu Tai Cang.


    "That is good. Keeping a rational mind is more important for a cultivator", Lu Tai Cang nodded his head.


    "When are you nning to leave for the Spirit pce?", he asked Zhan Chen.


    "I am nning to go there after a while but now I have no other choice. I want to find out about the past matters. So, it will be better if I leave for the Spirit pce at earliest", Zhan Chen replied.


    Lu Tai Cang nodded his head and left the room. All of his women started to pour inside after Lu Tai Cang left.


    "Little Chen, are you alright?", the worried voice of Zhan Qingyue came. Zi Ningxi and Zi Nuan also came along with her as they were worried about Zhan Chen''s well being.


    Zhan Chen felt more anger in her heart after seeing worried expression on his big sis''s face. It same for his other women as they inquired about his well being.


    "Everyone, I am fine thanks to the Spirit pce experts. They came in time and save me from theHuang n emperor", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Now, let''s part here. I need to visit the Spirit pce because I need some answer about the history of my Zhan n", he further spoke.

 Chapter 286 A Race From The Legend

    "Zhan Chen, goodbye then. I will pick you after youe out from the soul ind", Lu Tai Cang spoke after leaving Zhan Chen near the Spirit pce entrance.


    "Thank you senior. I will trouble you for few more days", Zhan Chen replied. Lu Tai Cang nodded his head with a smile and flew towards the sky.


    An expert approached Zhan Chen after Lu Tai Cang left. Zhan Chen immediately recognised the expert as the announcer of the grand sectpetition.


    "Zhan Chen, you are finally here", elder Huo of the Spirit pce spoke with a big smile on his face.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed slightly to show his etiquette.


    "Let''s enter our Spirit pce. It has been years since we havest invited someone", elder Huo spoke.


    Zhan Chen followed elder Huo and walked towards the stone entrance. There were two rows of warriors who were guarding the entrance. They bowed immediately after seeing elder Huo. There was a curious look on their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Open the entrance. I am bringing in the guest", elder Huo spoke after crossing the stone gate. Zhan Chen felt surprise as a golden gate appeared in the air out of now here.


    Elder Huo brought him to the sky and waited for the golden gate topletely open. A thick wave of essence energy filled the surrounding as the golden gates started to open.


    "Such pure essence energy!", Zhan Chen murmured with suprise and looked towards the golden entrance with curiousity in his eyes. His curious look tuned into one that of wonder after elder Huo brought him beyond the golden gate.


    It was like a world within the world and Zhan Chen becamepletely mesmerized by the true appearance of the Spirit pce.


    There were colourful birds and animals roaming in open. Few huts could be seen which were built amidst the thriving vegetation.


    Elder Huo chuckled slightly after seeing Zhan Chen''s reaction. It was the same for all the visitors after they came across the truend of the Spirit pce.


    ''It is unbelievable. The essence energy is almost seven times more than the outside'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. Elder Huo brought him beyond the woods and finally an ancient looking pce appeared infront of his eyes.


    "I can apany you only this far. I am not allowed to enter the holy pce with my cultivation level", elder Huo spoke. Zhan Chen felt surprise for a moment but he still nodded his head with a calm look on his face.


    ''Even a peak Tribtion realm expert can''t enter this pce. Then does not it mean that whoever are leaving in this pce are either emperors or sages!", Zhan Chen thought to himself with a huge surprise in his heart.


    His conjecture became true after he saw another old maning out from the ancient pce. The old man smiled slightly after seeing elder Huo and Zhan Chen. There was a little curiousity in his aged eyes when he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little Huo, well done. I will take over from here", he spoke to elder Huo.


    "Uncle Shang, it is kind of you but why are you still calling me little even though I am already one hundred fifty six years old", elder Huoined.


    His whining didn''t work as the old man embrassed him few more times. Zhan Chen felt speechless after seeing elder Huo fleeing away to save himself from the embarassment.


    "Little friend, let me give a proper introduction of myself. I am Tao Shang, one of the protectors of the Spirit pce. The shy old man who had just fled was my blood nephew", he spoke to Zhan Chen.<sub> </sub>


    Zhan Chen smiled awkwardly after hearing the introduction of the old man. The uncle and nephew pair had managed to amuse him although they were mighty cultivators themselves.


    ------------------


    "Zhan Chen, we meet again", the pce master of the Spirit pce spoke after Tao Shang brought him inside the ancient pce.


    "Uncle Zhuyan", Zhan Chen greeted the middle aged man who hade to see him as soon as he entered the ancient pce. Tao Shang was looking at the scene with disbelief on his face as he saw their dignified pce master behaving so warm to a junior. He couldn''t recall if their pce master had behaved so warmly infront of everyone except the two princess of the Spirit pce.


    "Elder Shang. Take Zhan Chen to the guest hall. I will be there in a moment after dealing with my business here", Chi Zhuyan spoke. Tao Shang nodded his head and led Zhan Chen towards a nearby corridor. A neatly arranged hall with few wooden chairs appeared infront of Zhan Chen after he entered the guest hall.


    Tao Shang called for the maids after entering the guest hall. Few charming maids came out and they were holding exquisite looking tes in their hands.


    What attracted the attention of Zhan Chen was the appearance of maids. All of them had voluptuous bodies and they wear wearing revealing clothes which could highlight their beauties more.


    Except their beauties, the most striking part about them was their horns. A pair of red coloured horns were protruding out of their foreheads and it attracted the attention of Zhan Chen the most.


    "What race are they?", Zhan Chen asked with surprise on his face. The maids smiled slightly after seeing the surprised look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Have you heard of the Beastmen race?", Tao Shang looked towards Zhan Chen. "Beastmen!", Zhan Chen recalled a legend he had came across in his past life. In the legend, beastmen were described as a powerful race who had born from the union between heavenly demons and the blessed women from ancient times.


    "Yes, I have heard of them", he spoke and looked towards the maids with curiousity in his eyes.


    "They are exactly from that race. To be particr they are from the Mountain cow tribe of Beastmen race", Tao Shang spoke.


    "No wonder I felt confused when I couldn''t find the pure beastly aura from them", Zhan Chen spoke with understanding in his eyes.


    "But is not the Beastman race supposed to be a legend? Howe there are few in the Spirit pce?", he asked Tao Shang with curiousity on his face.


    "It is natural that you will feel curious about them", the voice of Chi Zhuyan came from a distance. All the maids bowed immediately after seeing the pce mastering towards them.


    "My ancestor also felt the same when he came across them in a small ind", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "We can talk about themter. In fact, you can directly interact with them after we finish our conversation", he further added.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head as it was a good proposal for him. He could interact with the beastmen directly after talking with Chi Zhuyan.


    "Elder Shang, you may leave now. I want to have some privacy while talking with Zhan Chen", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Tao Shang.

 Chapter 287 A Conversation With The Palace Master

    "Zhan Chen, what do you know about the Soul ind?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen after Tao Shang left.


    "It is the treasurednd of the Spirit pce. Beside that, I didn''t have any idea about the ce", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Then would you like to know some details about it?", Chi Zhuyan asked.


    "Ofcourse", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Zhuyan with a curious look on his face.


    Chi Zhuyan chuckled a little after seeing the easygoing attitude of Zhan Chen. This was what he wanted, to make Zhan Chen morefortable around him.


    "Our Soul ind is unlike thre treasurednds of other powers. It does not help in increasing your cultivation rather it will help in strengthening your soul.


    Strengthening your soul is the only way if you want to enter the Martial ascension realm", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "I have expected this much", Zhan Chen thought to himself. But outwardly he saw a startled expression to encourage Chi Zhuyan.


    "The longer you can stay in the soul ind, the more beneficial it will be for your soul. Generally, a Core condensation realm cultivator can stay in the soul ind for two hours. So, it will be upto you how longer you can stay inside the soul ind", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "Uncle Zhuyan, thanks for the information. I will definitely do my best to stay inside the soul ind for a longer period", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Father", suddenly an oriole like voice interrupted their conversation as a pretty little girl walked into the hall. A gentle expression immediately appeared on Chi Zhuyan ''s face as soon as he saw the pretty little girl.


    "Ying''er, what are you doing here?", he asked to the little beauty infront of him. The little beauty threw a curious nce towards Zhan Chen before looking towards Chi Zhuyan.


    "Father, grandpa Shang said that the entrance to the Soul ind is opening. So, I am nning to enter with others and cultivate there", the little beauty spoke.


    "Oh, you are nning the enter the soul ind?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards his daughter. The little beauty nodded her head and looked towards Chi Zhuyan with an expectant look on her face.


    "I will give you permission but you must not be greedy. Earlier, you didn''t control yourself and stay unconscious for seven days", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "And another thing. You have yet to greet our guest here", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Hello", the little beauty greeted politely after hearing her father''s reminder. There was deep curiousity on her face as she felt a familiar sensation from Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Zhan Chen, meet my second daughter. Her name is Chi Shuying.


    Her elder sister is not present. Otherwise, I would have introduced both of them to you", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "Miss Shuying, why don''t you take a seat beside us?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Shuying.


    Chi Shuying nodded her head shyly and took a seat beside Zhan Chen. The sensation she was feeling became more prominent after she sat beside him.


    "Zhan Chen, what do you think about the appearance of the devils? Will you fight them or not if you get the opportunity?", Chi Zhuyan asked. His star like eyes gleamed a little as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen knew the pce master of the Spirit pce was testing his character. He could easily fool him but Zhan Chen chose not to do that.


    A genuine friendship was what he wanted with the Spirit pce. Moreover, the character and insight of the Spirit pce master was really to his liking. So, he chose to speak the truth what he felt about devils.<sub> </sub>


    "Uncle Zhuyan, the question is whether they cross path with me. If they affect me or my loved ones, then I will definitely step out but for some ideal, I am not going to fight them", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I see. You are rather selfish but are not you willing to help the Northern desert continent when it is in peril?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I am happy to help out but I will do that on my own volition. It will be foolish if I jump ahead just because of some idealism and others machinations", Zhan Chen replied.


    "You are rather sharp", a praising look appeared on Chi Zhuyan ''s eyes after he heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "No one can stop the rise of Zhan n as long as you are breathing", he further added.


    "But I want to fight the devils", an aggrieved voice interrupted the serious conversation between Chi Zhuyan and Zhan Chen.


    Both of the adults looked towards source of the interruption and a speechless look appeared on both of their eyes. It was because Chi Shuying was pouting with a dissatisfied look on her face.


    "Miss Shuying, do you want to fight the devils?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Shuying with an amused look on his face.


    "Of course, I am not a coward like you. Big sister has promised me that she will take me out to fight the devils", Chi Shuying spoke with serious look on her face.


    Zhan Chen wanted to pinch her cheeks after seeing how adorable she was looking.


    "Nonsense, who said that you can go to battle? I will ground that blockhead of a sister of yours if she do something foolish like this", Chi Zhuyan spoke. There was a frustrated look on his face as he observed the determined expression of his daughter.


    "Woo!", the eyes of Chi Shuying became misty after she saw the expression on her father''s face. Drops of tear came out from her eyes as she started to cry.


    Chi Zhuyan finally realised what had he done. A helpless look appeared on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Miss Shuying, I will take you to the battlefield if you want. Your father will not allow you to go out with your sister but I guess he can allow me to take you out", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Really!", Chi Shuying stopped crying and looked towards Zhan Chen with her beady eyes.


    "Uncle Zhuyan, what do you say?", Zhan Chen directed the focus towards Chi Zhuyan.


    Chi Zhuyan was reluctant to agree as it was also another outrageous proposition for him. But he had to nod his head after seeing the look on his youngest daughter ''s eyes.


    "Thank you, you are really a good person like what I have previously thought", Chi Shuying spoke. She threw an aggrieved look towards Chi Zhuyan before leaving the main hall.


    "I have really did it again", Chi Zhuyan spoke as a helpless look appeared on his face. He took few moments before he could start his conversation with Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, you may be wondering why she is like this?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No, I have not been thinking anything rather I am amazed that she still has such a pure heart despite her age", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Oh!", finally a smiled appeared on Chi Zhuyan ''s face. No matter how calm he was, a father was always worried about his children and he was not different from others in this matter.


    "Ying''er has an innate body. I would have never disclosed it infront of outsiders but my instinct is telling me that I can trust you", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 288 An Unexpected Request

    "Uncle Zhuyan, thanks for your trust. But may I ask what kind of innate body she has?", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Zhuyan with a curious expression.


    He had already seen through Chi Shuying in the grand sectpetition but he still asked Chi Zhuyan to not raise any suspicion.


    "As you know, innate bodies are quite rare in the lower world. Among the various types of innate bodies, my Ying''er posess one of the rarest. She has the Wood spirit body of heaven grade", Chi Zhuyan replied.


    "Heaven grade! It is almost impossible for such a body to appear in the lower world", Zhan Chen eximed as he looked towards Chi Zhuyan for continuing the conversation.


    What he really wanted to know was reason for such irregrity as it was almost impossible for two innate bodies to appear in the same ce. Chi Shuying had the Wood spirit body and her sister, Chi Zhiqing also possessed an innate body.


    "You are right, it is normally impossible for a heaven grade body to appear in the lower world. But my Ying''er is different.


    She has inherited her talent from her mother and born with a heaven grade body at her birth", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    A look of understanding appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard the words of Chi Zhuyan. ''So, the reason was their mother!'', he murmured to himself inside his mind.


    "You must be wondering why I am telling you all this", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head as he could not tell why Chi Zhuyan was saying all of this to him.


    "Zhan Chen, it may be too sudden but I have a request for you. Can you help me in a certain matter which is only doable by someone from your Zhan n?", Chi Zhuyan asked. There was a hopeful look on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Uncle Zhuyan, I will definitely help you if I can. But for that, you need to tell me the matter in details", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "The matter is rted to Ying''er. As you know, she has the Wood spirit body. Like other innate bodies, she also need a specific environment to show her full potential", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "Yes, she indeed need a ce rich in wood element. But I don''t know how I can help her with it", Zhan Chen looked towards Chi Zhuyan with a confused look on his face.


    "No ce is more suitable for her other than the shade of your sacred tree. I have received report that your Zhan n is emerging from it''s slumber. So, I beleive that the sacred tree also resurfaced after hiding for four hundred years", Chi Zhuyan spoke and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I don''t know about the emergence of my Zhan n but it is true that the sacred tree is somewhere in the centralnd", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then what do you say? Are you willing to help Ying''er?", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Zhan Chen with an expectant look on his face.


    "Uncle Zhuyan, I will do my best but I can''t guarantee anything. I have yet to see the sacred tree. So, it may take some time before I can take miss Shuying near the sacred tree", Zhan Chen replied.


    "No problem, no problem at all. We are in no hurry for Ying''er''s cultivation.


    I only want the help of sacred tree when Ying''er will go through her tribtions and perceive the etheralws of wood element", Chi Zhuyan spoke with an excited look on his face. He didn''t give any effort to hide his joy from Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Uncle Zhuyan, I also need your help with something", Zhan Chen spoke. He had no qualm about asking the history of his Zhan n after getting close to Chi Zhuyan.<sub> </sub>


    --------------------


    "Who would have thought there is such a powerful family like Beitang imperial family!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after reading the scroll in his hand.


    He folded the spirit scroll and recalled what he had read so far. The Beitang imperial family was a powerful family since the ancient times. There were many powerful forces in the ancient times but most of them perished in the long annals of the history.


    The only remaining force who survived the tumultuous events was Beitang family who rose to prominence after most of itspetetors gone.


    Eight thousand years ago, Beitang Yuyang, the most talented individual of the Beitang family was born. He singlehandedly defeated all of his enemies and established the Beitang family as the Beitang imperial family of the centralnd.


    Among the five provinces of centralnd, he conquered three and established the Heavenly dragon city as their capital.


    Beitang family maintained their hegemony for next six thousand years but changes started to ure exactly two thousand years ago.


    Several new powers started to emerge rapidly and one of them was Zhan n under the lead of Zhan Chao.


    Sacred tree revealed it''s power and along with brilliance of Zhan Chao, the Zhan n emerged as a formidable power in the centralnd.


    The rise of Zhan n was gradual and the Beitang n ignored them at the beginning but they started to take notice of them when several conflict of interest erupt.


    A huge battle followed and their was no clear winner among both the powers. The peak experts came to an agreement and Beitang n had to give away few concessions.


    The troubled peacested for hundred of years but the Beitang imperial family was in no mood to forget the matter. They finally got the chance four hundred years ago and the most devastating battle since the establishment of Spirit pce was fought.


    "There is no details regarding the battle itself but I still manage to find several important information. The Beitang family with the seven thousand six hundred years of umtion was noughing matter. It is my Zhan n which is sturdy enough to survive such a battle", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He was thinking about his next course of action when a knock came from his door. He got up from the chair and went towards the door to see the visitor.


    "Young master, sorry for disturbing you but the pce master has asked us to deliver these spirit fruits", a beastwomen in the maid clothes spoke. She had two otherpanions who were looking at him with curious look on their faces.


    Zhan Chen could tell that all three of them had something in their minds but they were hesitating to speak the matter to him.


    "Well, thanks for the fruit. All of us have something to share. So, why not we talk inside my room", Zhan Chen looked at the three beastwomen with a smile on his face.


    "Many thanks young master", all three of them bowed towards him before following him to his room.


    "First eat the fruits. We can talkter after finishing the delicacies infront of us", Zhan Chen spoke after the three beastwomen ced the te of spirit fruits infront of him.

 Chapter 289 Agreement With The Three Beastwomen

    "Young master, how can we?", all the three beastwomen blushed after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. They couldn''t beleive that someone was offering them cultivation resources even after knowing their status as maids.


    "Look, you have brought five earth grade Spirit fruits. So, how about you three taking one each and I will keep two for myself", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He picked three spirit fruits and threw them towards the three beastwomen. The three beastwomen were still hesitating but they had no other option other than catching the flying spirit fruits.


    "Good, let''s eat them now", Zhan Chen spoke and picked a Spirit fruit nonchntly. The beastwomen could not refuse anymore and ate along with Zhan Chen.


    "Thank you young master", they bowed politely towards Zhan Chen after finishing the Spirit fruits.


    "Now let''s here what are you all want to talk with me. Compared to my questions, yours seem more urgent", Zhan Chen looked towards the three beastwomen. There was a small smile on his face as he observed the three voluptuous figures infront of him.


    The three beastwomen hesitated a little but still decided to talk. They had curious look on their faces as they looked towards him.


    "Young master, do you posess something that attract out Mountain cow tribe?", one of the beastwomen asked with a shy look on her face. Her other twopanions also looked towards Zhan Chen with questioning look on their faces.


    "I do not posess any such thing. But I think, I have the perfect answer for your question", Zhan Chen replied. A smile appeared on his face as looked towards the three ravishing beastwomen.


    He could tell that all of them had an urge to get close to him. But they still had greater control as Martial ascension realm cultivators. So, they were registing their impulse with difficulty.


    "Young master, Please say something. We have never felt such sensation in our entire lives", the three beastwomen looked Zhan Chen with a pleading look on their faces.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and released his natural aura to the surrounding. The three beast women finally couldn''t control their urges as covetous look appeared on each of their faces.


    "Young master, how is your aura so pure? It is almost like you are the most precious heavenly treasure", one of the beastwoman spoke. Her footsteps unconsciously moved forward as she walked towards Zhan Chen. Herpanions also followed after her and walked closer to Zhan Chen.


    Before Zhan Chen knew, they were already licking his face. "It is as I have thought. My cultivation technique is more fatal towards magical beasts of opposite gender than the female cultivators of my human race", he thought to himself.


    He had guessed this fact when the cloud pather had agreed to follow him. The cloud pather was a noble beast yet it still got attracted by his aura and chose to follow him. As for the beastmen tribe, Zhan Chen finally knew, they were also equally affected like the magical beasts. It was because beastwomen had inherited their blood from the magical beasts of ancient times.


    "Please stop for a moment. I need to hear your opinion before we proceed", Zhan Chen spoke and retracted his aura. The beastwomen finally found their bearing as the crazyness in their blood gone.


    "Young master, we are sorry", they blushed immediately after seeing the saliva drape face of Zhan Chen.


    "Does not matter. You can still do as you please but I need to here your opinion first. Do you three have any objection if we four dual cultivate together?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Dual cultivation!", red hues appeared on all of their faces after they heard Zhan Chen''s proposal. They looked towards eachother as they were struggling to take a decision.


    "I will not force you. But this is the only way with which we can get closer. You can absorb my essence and it will help in boosting your cultivation level", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, I agree", one of the beast women spoke after a moment. She seemed more proactive than others as she readily acknowledge her needs. Her twopanions also stated their agreements within few moments. Zhan Chen was surprised to see that how readily they epted his proposal for dual cultivation.


    ''Perhaps I should notpare them with human cultivators'', he thought to himself.


    "Young master, please excuse us. We need to give an update to pce master before joining you", the three beastwomen spoke.


    "Well then, I shall be waiting", Zhan Chen spoke and watched the three beastwomen going out of his room.


    <strong>"</strong>It is going to be fun", he thought to himself before sitting crosslegged on the ground.


    --------------


    Soft murmurs came outside from his room and Zhan Chen opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his face as he saw the three beastwomen entering his room.


    "Such pure energy", the three beast women eximed at once after stepping inside Zhan Chen''s room. A stunned expression appeared on their faces as they perceived the surrounding with their soul consciousness. They immediately found out the souce of pure energy and looked covetously towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen chuckled and retracted his aura a little.


    "So, shall we start?", he looked towards the three enchanting women infront of him. All three of them nodded their heads as there was not a single shred of hesitation on their faces.


    It was quite an unique experience for Zhan Chen as he was seeing seeing how open the beastwomen were. They were quite different from female cultivators who hesitate a lot before epting the dual cultivation offer.


    "All of you, take off your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke. The three beastwomen looked at eachother and started to take off their clothes.


    "Gulp!", Zhan Chen''s throat bulged up a little as he made an audible sound with his throat. Despite his exposure to women, he had never seen such natural marvels before.


    "How can you hide them so perfectly?", he murmured and walked towards the three beastwomen. They were still undressing themselves when he reached near them.


    "Hmm! what is this?", Zhan Chen eximed as he touched the bulging undergarment of a beastwomen. A long tail came out from the undergarment after he pulled down her undergarment a little.


    "Wow, a tail!", Zhan Chen curiously touched the tail and an enjoying expression appeared on the beastwoman''s face. She closed her eyes as Zhan Chen stroked her tail with his hand.


    Zhan Chen looked towards her other twopanions and found simr bulging on back of their bodies. They were feeling shy to pull down their undergarments despite their willingness to get closer to Zhan Chen.


    "So, this is weakness of you girls", Zhan Chen spoke while stroking the soft tail of one of the beastwomen. He yanked open her upper garment as her massive peakspletely unraveled infront of him.


    "They are truly massive", he thought to himself and reached his hand towards her peaks. A bouncy feeling came to his hand as he squeezed the massive globe infront of him.


    To his utter surprise, her breasts started to swell as he squeezed them further. Her already massive globes became massive as theypletely grown out of their proportion.


    "She is almost like a cow now", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he squeezed the massive breasts infront of him. The cherry over her peaks became elongated as he stimted her further. Finally, some whitish liquid started to came out from her breasts as Zhan Chen massaged them thoroughly.


    Zhan Chen yed with her other twopanions after stimting the beastwomenpletely. Herpanions didn''t disappoint him as both of them had simr massiveness like the first beastwoman.


    "Well, you three seempletely ready. We can start right away but before that I want to learn your names", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I am A'' Niu. I am A'' Qixi. I am A'' Rou", all three girls introduced themselves one by one after hearing Zhan Chen''s question. There was an anticipating look on their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I guess you all heard about me. But I still need to introduce myself. I am Zhan Chen. It is nice to have girls like you three", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He undressed himself as his massive dragon appeared infront of the three beastwomen. This time it was time for the three beastwomen to be surprised as they became stunned by the size of the dragon. A wet feeling came from their croatches as they gulped a little.


    "I have never thought that a human could have such a thing", A'' Niu spoke as she became enamoured by the appearance of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her twopanions were of same opinion as they stared towards Zhan Chen''s manhood.


    A'' Qixi was the first to reach out as she wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s dragon. She started to stoke it and an enjoying expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Her twopanies were quick to follow as they stretched out their hands. They seemed to love the warmthing out from Zhan Chen''s dragon as theypete among themselves to stroke the beast.

 Chapter 290 Euphoria

    "Mooaaah!", Zhan Chen shared a passionate kiss with each of the beastwomen as they stoked his dragon curiously. He kept massaging their gigantic breasts whille engaging them with passionate kisses.


    The cherries above their peaks were more prominentpared to any average women and Zhan Chen saw them getting swollen the more he stimted the beastwomen. White liquids kepting out and an absurd thought appeared inside Zhan Chen''s mind.


    "Don''t tell me they can actually produce milk", he thought to himself and squeezed thir breasts with more intensity. An enjoying look appeared on all three beastwomen''s faces as they becamepletely engrossed with the pleasure they were feeling.


    Finally A'' Niu couldn''t hold herself as her breasts throbbed. Whitr liquid burst out from her breasts as her body shivered.


    Zhan Chen immediately put his mouth on her breasts and milked the remaining liquid with his tongue. "Gulp", an audible sound came out of his throat as he drank the white liquid of A'' Niu.


    "I can''t beleive it. She is producing milk now", he thought to himself as he looked towards the three beastwomen with amazement in his eyes. "Young master, you are the first to drink my milk", A''Niu spoke as an an amorous expression appeared on her face.


    Zhan Chen ced a kiss on her lips before looking towards A''Qixi and A'' Rou. "Both of you girls kneel down. I want to try a thing with you two", he spoke as a heated expression appeared on his face.


    A ''Qixi and A''Rou felt confused by Zhan Chen''s words but they still followed his order after seeing the eager expression on his face. Their breastspletely overshadowed their bodies after they bent their knees infront of Zhan Chen.


    "Hold your breasts together with your hands", Zhan Chen spoke and ced his dragon between the breasts of A''Qixi. She immediately understood the hints as she squeezed her breasts more tighter.


    Zhan Chen ced his hands on her shoulders and started to move his waist. An incredible feeling came to his dragon as he moved through the incredible bouncy and floppiness.


    He finally stopped moving when A''Qixi''s peaks started to throab. He crouched down to have a kiss with her before moving his dragon once again.


    "Mmmmm", A'' Qixi moaned a little as hot milk came pouring out from her nds. A face full of ecstacy appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "A'' Rou, it is your turn now", Zhan Chen spoke and looked towards the most mature looking woman among the three. A look of anticipation appeared on her eyes as she looked towards him.


    "Let''s go to bed", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled her closer to him. He shared a quick kiss with her before pushing her to the bed.


    A jolt ran through the body of A''Rou as Zhan Chen entered her cave with his sword. Her eyes misted up slightly as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t worry. It will be alright after a while", Zhan Chen spoke as he leaned forwards for a kiss. A''Rou gave him an encouraging look as she braced for Zhan Chen''s onught.


    "The first time is always tricky, no matter she is a woman or beastwoman", Zhan Chen thought as he started to move his hips slowly.


    --------------


    "Little Zhuyan, it is a sensitive matter. Why are you so adamant on helping the brat even though it could drag us into endless turmoil and conflict?", an old man looked towards Chi Zhuyan with a questioning look on his face.


    "Grand uncle Liang, please take a seat first. I will definitely exin why I am helping out Zhan Chen", Chi Zhuyan replied.


    The old man nodded his head and took a seat opposite to Chi Zhuyan. Chi Zhuyan pped his hands and elder Shang from the Spirit pce walked into the great hall.


    "Greetings senior", he immediately bowed towards the old man who was sitting opposite to Chi Zhuyan. There was a look of veneration in his eyes when he looked towards the old man sitting alongside his pce master.


    "Tao Shang, it is you! You are a middle aged man when Ist met you", the old manmented after seeing elder Shang. There was a look of amusement on his face as he looked towards the obedient looking man infront of him.


    "Senior, it is the matter eighty years ago. I have barely progressed. Yet, you seemed to have gain much more progress in these eighty years", elder Shang replied.


    "It is indeed so. I have been exploring the sea to the south and I got a chance encounter", the old man spoke. A smile appeared on his old face when he thought about his chance encounter.


    "That''s why I alway give emphasis on exploring. Yet, you stubborn fools wouldn''t listen to my words", he further added and looked towards Chi Zhuyan and Tao Shang.


    "All are not free like you", Chi Zhuyan wanted to reply but he knew, he couldn''t. Otherwise, no one could handle the old man infront of him if he got mad for some reason.


    "Now, let''s focus on the main topic. Tell me, why are you giving so much importance to a lidd kid of Zhan n.


    He might be a genius but it is not enough to start a conflict with the Heavenly sword sect", the old man looked towards Chi Zhuyan.


    "That was exactly why I have called elder Shang", Chi Zhuyan replied.


    "Elder Shang, please go to the guest pce and bring Zhan Chen here. It is morning already. So, he must be awake now", Chi Zhuyan spoke and looked towards Tao Shang.


    Elder Shang nodded his head and bid farewell to his pce master and old man Liyang. A confused expression appeared on the old expert''s face after he saw Tao Shang going away. "Little Zhuyan, what are you trying to do?", he looked towards the pce master of the Spirit pce.


    "Grand uncle Liang, Zhan Chen is here. So, why don''t you see for yourself. I have tried to see through him but I failed even after using my Heaven gazing technique", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "Your Heaven gazing technique failed!", old man Liang asked as a look of disbelief appeared on his face. Chi Zhuyan nodded grimly as both of them waited for Tao Shang to return.


    Zhan Chen was cultivating inside his room when he heard a knocking from his door. He opened his eyes and walked towards the door to see the visitor.


    "Greetings senior", he bowed immediately after seeing elder Shang infront of his door. "Zhan Chen, have you rested well?", Tao Shang asked. Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile on his face.


    "Shall we go then? It will be a long day for you after we leave", Tao Shang spoke.


    "Senior, where are we going? Are we going to the Soul ind straight?", Zhan Chen looked towards Tao Shang.


    "No, we are going to the sacred pce first. My pce master wants to introduce you to a senior of ours", Tao Shang spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head but a vignt look appeared in his heart.


    "The senior he is talking about, must be an old monster of the Spirit pce. It will be wise to restrain myself a little", he thought to himself while flying with Tao Shang.


    The familiar looking pce appeared infront of him after he flew with elder Shang for a while. The expressionless guards greeted them before they enter the ancient looking pce.


    Zhan Chen walked along with elder Shang and reached a long corridor. There was arge hall at the end of the corridor where he found Chi Zhuyan.


    The pce master of the Spirit pce was sitting with an archaic looking old man. The old man looked at him as soon as he entered therge hall.


    Zhan Chen felt as if he was looking towards two globes of fire when he looked at the old man''s eyes. He immediately looked away and greeted Chi Zhuyan.


    "Zhan Chen, have you rested well?", Chi Zhuyan asked with a smile on his face. Zhan Chen nodded his head and focused his eyes on the archaic looking old man once again.


    "Greetings senior", he bowed slightly to show courtesy to the peak expert. But inwardly he was highly vignt because the dangerous sensation he felt moments ago.


    "What an interesting junior!", old man Liang eximed as he focused his eyes on Zhan Chen''s body. Zhan Chen felt ufortable by the tant use of soul consciousness but he could only pretend to know nothing as old man Liang looked at him with his soul consciousness.


    Chi Zhuyan wanted to stop his grand uncle but he was powerless to do so. A grim look appeared on his face when he saw the eyes of old man Liang changing colour.


    Zhan Chen felt a mighty conciousness trying to see through his soul. He could have resisted easily but he thought otherwise. A cold glint shed past his eyes as he opened his soul barrier.

 Chapter 291 Soul Island

    A brilliantly burning sun infront of which every source of light may fade into bleakness was what old man Liyang felt when his soul sense made contact with Zhan Chen''s soul.


    A stinging pain came to his eyes and he. hurriedly pulled away his soul consciousness but the brief contact with Zhan Chen''s soul was enough to give him a life time of scare.


    "Little Zhuyan, send this brat back. I have a urgent matter to inform you before you open the soul ind", old man Liyang sent a mental message to Chi Zhuyan. He tried to sneak a nce at Zhan Chen and a wary look appeared on his face when he saw the smile on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Chi Zhuyan didn''t know what was happening but he still decided to follow his grand uncle''s wish. He promised Zhan Chen to meet him after a while and sent him away with Tao Shang.


    "Grand uncle Liang, what happened? Why have you suddenly used your Mystic eye technique?", Chi Zhuyan asked after Zhan Chen left. There was little frustration hidden in his voice as he looked towards his grand uncle.


    "Zhuyan, you may not beleive me but let me warn you. That brat may be the most terrifying existence hidden in the Northern desert continent", elder Zhuyan spoke. There was a genuine shock and fear on his face as he thought about the experience with Zhan Chen earlier.


    "What happened actually? What did you see when you use your Mystic eye technique?", Chi Zhuyan asked as a baffled expression appeared on his face. He felt concerned as his grand uncle was one of the protectors of the Spirit pce.


    "The soul of that brat is absurd. It appears like his soul is burning when I looked at his soul", old man Liang spoke.


    "A burning soul!", Chi Zhuyan eximed as he couldn''t understand what his grand uncle was saying. A brief silence fallen in the room as old man Liang took some time to organise his thoughts.


    "Little Zhuyan, I hereby giving you permission to use our resources to help Zhan Chen. No one is allowed to antagonize him as we can only make a friendly rtionship with such a monster", old man Liang spoke. He didn''t speak anymore and vanished from the great hall.


    ''A burning soul!", Chi Zhuyan tried to find some meaning behind his grand uncle ''s words but he couldn''te to any conclusion despite wracking his brain for a while. "Forget it, the intention of grand uncle is clear. We should grasp every possible opportunity to make a friendly rtionship with Zhan Chen", he thought to himself.


    "Elder Shang, where are we going?", Zhan Chen asked after leaving the ancient looking pce. He was riding a flying treasure along with elder Shang as their destination was unclear to him.


    "We are going to the entrance of the soul ind. There is an ancient teleportation formation which will be activated once every participant in the top ten list gathered", Tao Shang replied.


    ----------------


    "Is this the entrance?", Zhan Chen asked after Tao Shang stopped the flying treasure above a narrow valley. Tao Shang nodded his head and moved downward with his flying treasure.


    Zhan Chen found a group of familiar looking cultivators standing inside the valley. There were few Spirit pce cultivators who were keeping an eye on the group of nine.


    The young cultivators immediately noticed the changes in the air as their eyes went towards the sky. Their eyes fell upon Zhan Chen who was being apained by one of the experts of the Spirit pce.


    Zhan Chen noticed the gaze of a cold beauty on him as a smile appeared on his face. "She is also here", he thought to himself while descending towards the ground.


    "Greetings senior", all the experts of the Spirit pce along with the the participants of the grand sectpetition bowed towards Tao Shang after the flying treasure reached the ground. Tao Shang nodded his head in acknowledgement after seeing the juniors infront of him.


    "Everyone, thanks for your patience. The entrance to the soul ind will be opened once our pce master arrive", Tao Shang spoke as he looked towards the top ten participants.


    "Senior sister Lingyi", Zhan Chen greeted the cold beauty of the Xuantian sect after getting close to her. "Junior brother", she faintly acknowledged his presence without any emotion.


    Zhan Chen knew it was futile to talk to her. So, he shifted his gaze towards others. Few participants in the top ten list were eager to talk to him. So, he walked towards them to kill his boredom.


    Half an hourter, amotion started among the participants. Zhan Chen tilted his head upward and found a lotus shaped flying treasure flying towards them with a breathtaking speed.


    The flying treasure stopped just above the valley and descended towards the ground in a slow speed. The onlookers immediately knew who hade because it was the signature treasure of the Spirit pce.


    Contrary to everyone ''s expectation, the first to emerge was a pretty looking girl. She looked towards each participant with curiousity in her eyes.


    "Second princess", Tao Shang called out after seeing Chi Shuyinging out from the flying treasure. A middle-aged man emerged after her and all the Spirit pce cultivators and the participants of the grand sectpetition bowed towards him.


    "Thanks for your patience. Without any dy, I am giving permission to open the entrance to the Soul ind", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "Thanks senior", all the participants bowed towards Chi Zhuyan once again. Zhan Chen didn''t need to show so much formalities. So, he just stood on his ce and waited for the entrance to open.


    A cultivator of the Spirit pce walked into middle of the valley and did some hand incantation. A small circle lit up faintly after he did theplex looking incantantions.


    "Bring in the Spatial stones", Chi Zhuyan ordered.


    Another cultivator walked towards the small circle and crouched near it. He took out some grey coloured stones and put them inside the small circle.


    The faintly lit circle, lit up brilliantly after the grey stones were added. Zhan Chen ft spatial fluctuationing from the circle after the grey stones were added to it.


    "The entrance will remain open for one day. So, cultivate ardously and do not squander any opportunity to cultivate", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    All the cultivators nodded their heads as they already knew what to do in such situation. Cultivating in a treasurednd was always a chance encounter for cultivators. So, no cultivator would squander such opportunities if he or she was in a sane condition.


    "The deeper you go in the soul ind, the better the benefits will be. But I will urge you to remain cautious and don''t go much farther than your limit", Chi Zhuyan warned.


    The first to go inside was Jia Lingyi of the Xuantian sect. Her figure disappeared amidst the multicoloured brillianceing from the small circle. Other cultivators in the top ten list followed after her and the remaining ones were Zhan Chen and Chi Shuying.


    "Zhan Chen, we will talk after youe out. But before that you need to cultivate properly", Chi Zhuyan spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and bid farewell to Chi Zhuyan. Chi Shuying hopped after him as she followed him towards the small circle.


    "Onest thing. Please look after her after you enter the Soul ind. Thus little girl has a tendency to go overboard", Zhan Chen heard the voice of Chi Zhuyan before walking into the small circle.


    "Uncle Zhuyan, don''t worry about it", he spoke before walking into the teleportation formation. Chi Shuying followed after him as their figure disappeared amidst the multicoloured brilliance.


    Zhan Chen felt as if he was walking in nothingness for a moment. A jolt came to him after the brief moment was over.


    He looked around and found nothing but hazy surrounding. Even the ground was filled with white mist like substance.


    "Soul essence!", Zhan Chen felt surprised for a moment. He spread his soul consciousness and found nothing but the white mist like substance all over the ce.


    The white mist like substance was made up of soul essence and Zhan Chen became baffled by the quantity of soul essence in the air.


    Such an scenario was generally impossible because soul essence was quite a rare thing for a cultivator. But in the soul ind,mon sense altered as the entire ce was filled with mist made up of pure soul essence.


    He felt someone looking at him and turned to look at the culprit. It was Chi Shuying who was looking at him with her big pretty eyes.


    "Big brother, don''t you want to cultivate?", she asked with a curious look on her face. Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing her hrious question.


    "Miss Shuying, follow me. Let''s find a ce when we can cultivate properly", Zhan Chen spoke. Chi Shuying nodded her head and followed after Zhan Chen.


    They came across participants from the top ten list in their way but they didn''t stop. Their goal was to reach the innermost location of the soul ind.

 Chapter 292 Formation Within Formation

    There was nothing except the thick nket of white in the Soul ind. Zhan Chen felt more curious, the deeper he went into the treasurednd of the Soul ind.


    He met other participants on his way towards the middle but he ignored them due to the time constraint. The second princess of the Spirit pce, Chi Shuying was following behind him and Zhan Chen became amazed by her resilience in handling the pressureing from the Soul ind.


    "Big brother, I will cultivate here", she spoke afte walking for a while. Zhan Chen stopped after hearing her words and turned to look at her.


    "Miss Shuying, you can stop if you want but you have to promise me one thing.


    Don''t go overboard in cultivation no matter how badly you want to improve your cultivation base", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ok, I promise", Chi Shuying nodded her head and sat to cultivate. Zhan Chen observed her for a moment before leaving towards the cente of the Soul ind.


    The pressure increased gradually, the deeper he went into the soul ind. Finally, a point came where even an emperor couldn''t handle the pressure of the soul ind.


    "It is getting interesting", he thought to himself and stepped ahead. The pressure increased multifold but It was still not enough to scare him away.


    "What is the source for all these soul essence? I must delve deeper to see what is actually inside this Soul ind", he thought to himself.


    He walked forward in the endless mist before a peculiarity attracted his attention. He stopped in his path because there was a hint of dangering from the forward location.


    Zhan Chen released his soul consciousness cautiously and observed his surrounding. A frown appeared on his face as he examined his surrounding more closely.


    "What a brilliant formation!", he eximed softly and stepped inside. The mist started to thicken further as he stepped forward into the formation.


    ''This area suits my need but it is a pity that I can''t enhance my soul level even if I want. The cultivation limit of the current world is sage level. I may face a bacsh if I try to enhance my soul level without increasing my cultivation base '', he thought to himself.


    ''But I can still use the soul essence as it would be required for creating a pseudo soul. The more pseudo souls I have, the better my chance against an enemy will be", he thought further.


    He was still looking for the source of soul essence when he felt a palpitating fear grappling his heart. He becamepletely cautious and examined his surrounding throughly with his soul consciousness.


    "Such a sinister formation!", Zhan Chen eximed as a grim look appeared on his face. It was ayered formation infront of him where a killing formation was hiding beneath the veil of a bewildering formation.


    "Should I enter or not", a look of indecision appeared on his face. He thought for a while and finally a decisive look appeared on his face.


    "It is not the time to undone a formation. Moreover, doing so may alert the experts of the Spirit pce", he thought to himself.


    ------------------


    The area behind the killing formation was an area with a clear sky. Zhan Chen would have feel surprised because the clear sky was a profound formation beyond his knowledge.


    The nket of white mist was nowhere to be seen as there was a small pond in the innermost part of the Soul ind.


    A stone boulder was lying next to the small pond and azy looking lion was lying on the stone boulder. It opened its eyes when Zhan Chen approached the killing formation inside the bewildering formation.


    "This brat most be tired of living", it murmured in a human likenguage before opening it''s other eye. A human like curiousity appeared on it''s face as it observed the deeds of Zhan Chen outside the killing formation.


    Zhan Chen took a while toe out of indecision. He finally decided to halt his search and sat down to cultivate. What he didn''t know was that he disappointed a lion who was nning to witness an amusing event.


    "What a keen sense! To notice the presence of Saint killing formation, it is not a simple acheivement by a junior", it thought to itself. It dropped the idea of going back to sleep and observed Zhan Chen with it''s soul consciousness.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know that someone was peeking at him. Otherwise, he would not have cultivated so close to the killing formation.


    An unending stream stream of soul essence poured into his body as he gathered them into forming a pseudo soul. He used a tiny portion of his main soul as the base and moulded a pseudo soul for hister use.


    The pseudo soul had many uses. It could be used during the pill concoction or it could be used tounch a sneak attack on a powerful enemy.


    His main soul was already at the peak of sage realm. So, his pseudo soul were also of same strength as a full blown attack with his pseudo souls may even kill an early stage sage realm expert.


    Zhan Chen thought it would be impossible to cultivate a pseudo soul because it was extremely difficult to gather soul essence for a sage realm expert.


    But this limitation of the sages became redundant when he came across the Soul ind of the Spirit pce. Zhan Chen absorbed an unending stream of soul essence as his first pseudo soul moved towards achieving perfection.


    He moulded it properly before separating another tiny strand and preparing the base for his second pseudo soul. Timepsed as usual and Zhan Chen stopped after creating three pseudo souls ina stretch. He decided to rest for a while before creating few more pseudo souls for his future use.


    While Zhan Chen was taking some rest, thezy looking lion finally let out a shy of relief. "This brat, what kind of monster he is?", it muttered with a look of disbelief on it''s eyes.


    When the lion thought Zhan Chen had reached his limit, Zhan Chen started to cultivate once again. He absorbed another wave of soul essence as his pseudo souls started to increase in numbers.

 Chapter 293 Leaving The Soul Island

    ? "Well, five should be enough for now. I need to draw the divine symbols before going out of the Soul ind", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He could have created more pseudo souls because of the unending supply of the soul essence but he decided against it because pseudo souls have one big limitation.


    The method of creating pseudo souls came from the Dark Soul codex and it was clearly described that one need to draw divine symbols on the pseudo souls before they start to leak the soul essence into the surrounding.


    Unlike the main soul, the pseudo souls were not attached to anything. Their binding was also weak as they need continuous supply of soul essence to sustain them.


    To make them permanent, one need to draw divine symbols on them. They wouldn''t crumble apart only by the binding of the divine symbols.


    Zhan Chen had previous experience in creating a pseudo soul. So, he didn''t feel any problem this time.


    Tiny divine symbols started to appear on his pseudo soul as he manipted his soul essence. His reservoir of soul essence started to drain rapidly after he started to draw the divine symbols.


    One after another tiny golden characters appeared on his pseudo soul as Zhan Chen manipted his soul essence. Beads of sweat were already pouring out of his forehead by the time he finished drawing the sixty fourth divine symbol on his pseudo soul.


    "Finallyplete", he murmured as a look of releif appeared on his face. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and closed his eyes. A refreshing wave of soul essence poured into his body as he felt rejuvenated once again.


    "There are still four pseudo souls left", he thought to himself and focused his eyes on another pseudo soul. The cycle of hardwork and exhaustion continued as he drew the divine symbols on his pseudo souls.


    "What is this brat doing?", the lion inside the killing formation muttered to itself as it couldn''t understand why Zhan Chen was looking so exhausted after some time. It kept watching with a perplexed look on its face as Zhan Chenpleted inscribing divine symbols on his pseudo souls.


    He still wanted to continue creating more pseudo souls but the time constraint didn''t allow him to keep cultivating inside the Soul ind. He cultivated with his main soul for a while before turning away from the killing formation.


    Chi Shuying was still cultivating when Zhan Chen returned from the inner areas of the Soul ind. She stopped cultivating after sensing the presence of Zhan Chen around her.


    "Big brother Chen", she called out after opening her eyes. "How is your cultivation?", Zhan Chen inquired after she after seeing her looking towards him.


    "Good, now I am more confident in reaching the peak of Martial ascension realm", she replied with a beautiful smile on her face.


    ----------------


    "Zhan Chen, how about resting for a while?", Chi Zhuyan asked after seeing some exhaustion on Zhan Chen''s face. "Uncle Zhuyan, thanks for your offer. I indeed need some rest before leaving the Spirit pce", Zhan Chen replied. He sent a message for the Xuantian sect before leaving together with Chi Zhuyan and Chi Shuying.


    He needed to take some rest because of his soul exhaustion. But more than that, he wanted to have another session with the beastwomen before leaving the Spirit pce.


    He went towards the guest pce after having a quick conversation with Chi Zhuyan. Chi Shuying wanted to talk with him but Chi Zhuyan took her away to give Zhan Chen some alone time for rest.


    "I will ask about them after sleeping for a bit", Zhan Chen thought before closing his eyes. He gradually entered into a deep slumber as the exhaustion of his soul kicked in.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know how much time have passed but he was forced to open his eyes after hearing a soft knock. He was still feeling sleepy but he still decided to check the visitor.


    There was no single visitor infront of his room rather there were three beautiful visitors who were waiting for his arrival. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw A'' Niu, A''Qixi and A'' Rou infront of his door. He weed them happily as the feeling not sleepiness vanished on it''s own.


    "Young master, sorry for disturbing you. We beg you forgiveness for our intrusion", all three girls bowed and spoke in a coordinated manner.


    "Well, your crime is pardonable but there most be some sorts of punishment", Zhan Chen spoke. An evil smile appeared on his face as he looked towards the curvy bodies of all three beastwomen.


    All three beastwomen gulped nervously after seeing the evil smile on Zhan Chen''s face. There were apprehension and expectation both in their hearts as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Take off your clothes and show your backs to me", Zhan Chenmanded. All three of the beast girls nodded their heads and took off their clothes one by one.


    Their humongous peaks made their appearance as Zhan Chen gulped slightly. His dragon throbbed as he saw them taking off theirst piece of clothes.


    All three of the beastwomen acted in a coordinated manner and stood infront of Zhan Chen orderly. Their alluring backs were facing Zhan Chen as they stood looking at opposite direction.


    Zhan Chen admired the breathtaking scenery with a heated look on his face. He used his hand to trace the curve of A''Qixi and finally his hand stopped at the base of her tail.


    Her tail was ced between her two oversized buttocks. There was faint crack beneath it but her tail was hiding her most secretive ces in a flirtatious manner.


    A'' Qixi shivered as Zhan Chen held her tail. He pulled it upward and her most secretive ces became bare infront of his eyes.


    "What is your punishment you think?", Zhan Chen murmured near her ear. A'' Qixi was looking for an answer when a pnded on her buttocks.


    "Aaahh~", she let out a seductive sound as a jolt ran through her body. She was expecting few more ps but to her disappointment, Zhan Chen left her side. He teased A'' Rou and A'' Niu in the same way, the way he teased A''Qixi before.


    After few rounds of teasing, the three beastwomen werepletely triggered. Their bodies heated up as they looked at Zhan Chen with expectant look on their faces.


    "Who will be the first one?", Zhan Chen asked while taking off his clothes. All three beastwomen responded by shaking their buttocks for Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes glued to their backs as they expressed their eagerness by shaking their buttocks. Their tails fluttered from side to side as they weed Zhan Chen to charge towards them.

 Chapter 294 A Proposal

    "Damn it, what is with their body postures!", Zhan Chen eximed as his dragon responded fiercely. He walked towards A'' Rou and ced his dragon at the top of her entance.


    "Ahhhh~", A'' Rou let out a seductive moan as Zhan Chen prated her with a single thrust. Her eyes misted up slightly after Zhan Chen started to move his waist.


    "Pak, Pak, Pak", the licentious sound rang in the air as Zhan Chen pounded A''Rou fiercely. He finally stopped when a stream of warm liquid came out from A''Rou''s cave.


    "There are few differences in human females and beast women", Zhan Chen thought while rubbing his dragon on A''Qixi''s entrance. She twisted her buttocks slightly to give better ess to Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Pah", Zhan Chen awarded her a p as an enjoying look appeared on her face. Zhan Chen gave a simr p to her other side before prating her with a single thrust.


    After A'' Rou and A''Qixi, it was the turn A'' Niu. She raised her tail on her own. So that, Zhan Chen could have a better view of his most secretive ce.


    "A''Niu, how about doing this here?", Zhan Chen asked in a low voice as his dragon poked her uppermost hole.


    "But this ce~", A''Niu stuttered after realising what Zhan was saying. His dragon was poking her mist forbidden zone. So, how could not she understand what did he meant.


    A'' Rou and A'' Qixi also blushed at the side after seeing what Zhan Chen was doing. A feeling of trepidation rose in their hearts as they imagined the long dragon inside their forbidden zones.


    "What do you say?", Zhan Chen aske donce again to A''Niu.


    "Young master, please be gentle", A'' Niu replied with an apprehensive look on her face. "Don''t worry about it", Zhan Chen assured her before stretching open her buttocks.


    .He put some saliva on his fingers before shoving a finger on her hole. A''Niu thought it would be painful but surprising she didn''t feel much pain as Zhan Chen widened her forbidden zone with his fingers.


    "You arepletely ready now. But before that let''s apply some liquid on my spear", Zhan Chen spoke. He looked towards A'' Rou and A''Qixi and both of them understood what did he meant.


    Both of them knelt infront of him as their eyes stay focused on Zhan Chen''s dragon. They stretched out their tongues and started to lick Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Good, you two can stop now", Zhan Chen spoke after a while. Both of the girls teased his dragon as unwillingness could be seen on both of their faces.


    "You girls will have your turns after I am done with her", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face. A''Rou and A''Qixi nodded their heads and shifted their focus towards A'' Niu.


    "Uuuuh~", A stiff moan came out from A'' Niu ''s mouth after Zhan Chen shoved his entire dragon inside her forbidden zone. He pulled and pushed his dragon slowly as A''Niu took some time to familiarise herself with his dragon.


    The slightly painful sensation go away slowly and she started to feel the pleasure. Zhan Chen increased his pace gradually after seeing the enjoying look on her face.


    "Such a huge amount of nefarious energy!", he eximed while pounding A''Niu. His curiousity led him to try her forbidden zone but he didn''t imagined that his vague conjecture would turn out to be the truth.


    "So, one can harness more nefarious energy if the deviant act was with a person from different race", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He kept pounding A'' Niu as a huge amount of nefarious energy poured into his body.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Just a little more. Then the amount of nefarious energy will be sufficient to disturb the mind of an emperor", Zhan Chen thought as the concentration of nefarious energy continued to rise in his body.


    A'' Niu kept moaning as she gradually became addicted to Zhan Chen''s pounding. Her mind became cloudy slowly as she started to float in the river of pleasure.


    The fierce pounding continued for a while and A''Niu reached her peak. A stream of fragrant water came out from her cave and she turned to look towards Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, thank you", she spoke with a grateful look on her face. "What are you thanking me for?", Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing A''Niu ''s words. His gaze fell upon A''Qixi and A''Rou and his dragon started to throab once again.


    "Girls, I have a proposal for you all. I wonder if you will ept it or not", Zhan Chen spoke. All the three beastwomen looked at eachother as a curious look appeared on their faces.


    "We have already done dual cultivation with eachother but we have yet to let go of ourplete restraint. There will be some apprehension and hesitation within us no matter how much we cultivate.


    So, I have a proposal. If you agree to it, then you can express yourself without any restrain in your minds. And trust me, you will enjoy it much more than what we are doing untill now", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, what is it? Please tell us what do you want us to do", A'' Rou asked. Oyher two girls also appeared curious as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen gave a brief description of the nefarious energy and all the three girls agreed immediately. Unlike human female, they don''t have no much apprehensions struck inside their minds.


    "Well then, let''s start right away", Zhan Chen spoke and released the nefarious energy into the surrounding. The three beastwomen were gradually taken over by lust as they looked towards Zhan Chen with coveting eyes.


    They still had control on their minds but their actions were influenced by the lust they were feeling. They walked towards Zhan Chen to satisfy the unquenchable lust they were feeling at the moment.


    "Let''s give in to lust for a moment. I can checkter how much nefarious energy, I will be gathering by such an act", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    The three beastwomen knelt infront of Zhan Chen voluntarily. They struck out their lovely tongues and started to lick Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen also decided to act as he wish and shoved his dragon inside A''Qixi''s mouth. He started to move his waist while his hands were on the horns of A'' Qixi. He continued to move his waist untill A''Qixi felt breathless. Moist saliva was dripping out of his dragon when he shoved his dragon inside A'' Rou''s mouth.


    "Young master, let''s go to bed", A''Niu begged while Zhan Chen was busy with A''Rou. A''Qixi also chimed in and Zhan Chen had to stop no matter how howmuch pleasure he was feeling at the moment.


    He allowed the girls to climb the bed and busied himself with A''Rou once again. His dragon started to throab fiercely as he reached him limit inside A''Rou''s mouth.


    A huge amount of yang essence came out from his dragon and A''Rou gulped it happily. She licked his dragon for a further round as she was quite eager to taste his yang essence once again.


    Other two girls also joined her and Zhan Chen had to lie on his back to aodate their needs. All three beastwomen knelt beaside his waist and started to lick his dragon happily.

 Chapter 295 Downhearted Beauty

    "Young master, when will we meet again?", A'' Nuo asked after all three of them took some rest in the guest pce. A'' Rou and A'' Qixi also looked towards Zhan Chen as they wanted to hear his reply.


    "It will be more convenient if your tribe is living in open. But for the sake of protecting yourself, you have choosen to hide from the other cultivators'' eyes. If that is the case, then only I can visit you. You three can''t visit me even if you want", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Yes, young master. You are right. We can''t leave the Spirit pce whatever our reason is. Otherwise, it will jeopardize the safety of our tribesmen and put the Spirit pce in a difficult position", A'' Nuo spoke.


    "Then, wait for me here. I will definitelye back to see you three. Moreover, I have great curiousity towards other tribes of beastmen race. So, I will definitely retu Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, we will wait for you here", all three beastwomen replied in coordination. There was hope and longing in their eyes as they saw Zhan Chen leaving the guest pce.


    Tao Shang was waiting outside when Zhan Chen came out of the guest pce. He threw a look at the three beastwomen but didn''t understand why they were looking at Zhan Chen with such an expression. Zhan Chen turned to wave his hand towards towards the three beastwomen before leaving with Tao Shang.


    "Zhan Chen, have you rested well?", Tao Shang asked while both of them were flying towards the sacred pce. Zhan Chen nodded his head as a thought appeared inside his mind. "I have to thank the Spirit pce. Without them, I couldn''t have gathered so much means which are useful in deterring the emperor realm experts and early sage realm experts", he thought to himself.


    Chi Zhuyan, the pce master of the Spirit pce came out to meet Zhan Chen after he heard the news of his arrival. Chi Shuying, the second princess of the Spirit pce also came along with him as she wanted to have a conversation with Zhan Chen before he leave the Longyang city.


    "Now, you looks better", Chi Zhuyan nodded his head after observing Zhan Chen. The earlier tired look of Zhan Chen was nowhere to be seen. So, he came to conclusion that Zhan Chen had taken a good rest.


    "Uncle Zhuyan, thank you for your hospitality. The stress on my soul ispletely gone now. So, I think it is the right time to leave the Spirit pce", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You are free to do as you wish. But I hope you will visit us again whenever you are free", Chi Zhuyan spoke.


    "Of course, I will visit. But for that, I need the permission to enter the Longyang city first", Zhan Chen replied. He wanted to sort out this matter because he need to visit Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong in future.


    "You don''t need to worry about this. I have already prepared a special token for you with which you can enter the Longyang city whenever you want", Chi Zhuyan replied and threw a token towards Zhan Chen.


    -------------------


    "You are finally out", Lu Tai Cang took a breath of relief after seeing Zhan Chening out from the stone gate of the Spirit pce. Zhan Chen greeted him and asked him about the well-being of the Rosewood inn.


    "Everything is normal there. No one hase to visit the inn after you left for the Spirit pce", Lu Tai Cang replied.


    "That is great", Zhan Chen spoke as a stone from his heart lifted. He was really concerned about the little dragon girl as the exposure of her presence may bring great danger to his women.


    "Zhan Chen, what are you nning now? You can leave for the Xuantian sect but what about the girls around you", Lu Tai Cang asked with a curious look on his face.


    "Senior, there is no need to worry about them. I already have a n in my mind", Zhan Chen replied.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "That is great then. I will return to my n after leaving you in the care of Xuantian sect experts", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Senior, thank you for your care and support. I will always remember your kindness no matter how far I go in my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke. This time he didn''t have the usual casual look on his face when he looked towards Lu Tai Cang.


    "It is really pleasing to see that you have such a side to you. Cultivate properly. If you do not be reckless, then even the Heavenly tribtion realm will be a mere stepping stone for you", Lu Tai Cang spoke. There was encouragement in his eyes as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    He kept talking with Zhan Chen untill the flying treasure reached the Rosewood inn. He took his leave after stopping the flying treasure near the flying treasure at their destination.


    "Zhan Chen, keep thismunication tailsman with you. Inform me when you are ready to leave the Rosewood inn", Lu Tai Cang spoke and gave a yellow coloured tailsman to Zhan Chen. He turned the flying treasure and flew towards the centermost part of the Longyang city.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness after entering the Rosewood inn. All of his women were cultivating except his elder sister Zhan Qingyue. She had a nk look on her face as she was lying on her bed.


    "Her problems need to be addressed as soon as possible. But for that, I need to break theplex sealid on her soul", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was nning to visit the little dragon girl first. But he changed his mind and went towards Zhan Qingyue''s room.


    "Knock! knock!", Zhan Qingyue came out of her stupor after hearing the knocking from her door. She felt perplexed and left her bed to open the door.


    A smiling Zhan Chen was waiting her when she unlocked her door. "Little Chen", she could only utter this much before her lips were sealed by Zhan Chen''s own.


    "Choooo", Zhan Chen gave her a long and passionate kiss and Zhan Qingyue started to respond after a while. All her pain and confusion started to go away as her heart started to melt gradually.


    "Little Chen, close the door first", she spoke with a shy look on her face. Zhan Chen chuckled as he found her sister most beautiful at this moment.


    He ced another kiss on her pretty lips before going towards the door. He turned to look at her after locking the door from inside.


    "Big sis, you are looking pretty today", Zhan Chen spoke as he looked towards Zhan Qingyue with a look of admiration in his eyes. Zhan Qingyue felt shy as she couldn''t bear the intense re of Zhan Chen towards her body.


    "Little Chen, when did youe back?", she asked to divert the attention of Zhan Chen.


    "I have juste back recently. It is really hard to stay without big sis. So, I had to hurry up", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Heh! Liar", Zhan Qingyue rolled her eyes towards Zhan Chen as a smile appeared on her beautiful face. Zhan Chen became mesmerized as he saw the smile on his elder sister''s face.


    "Big sis, beleive me. I am not lying. You can see the proof if you want", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled his pant down.

 Chapter 296 Gloom Scattered, Happiness Returned

    "Shameless!", Zhan Qingyue blushed heavily after seeing the sky facing spear of Zhan Chen. Her pretty cheeks becamepletely red after she threw a look towards Zhan Chen''s manhood.


    "Big sis,e here", Zhan Chen signalled Zhan Qingyue toe closer to him. Zhan Qingyue obliged his request while blushing all along.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and pulled her closer to his body. Both could hear eachother''s heartbeats as they embraced eachother.


    Zhan Qingyue let go of all her defences and ced her head on Zhan Chen''s chest. All of her worries and insecurities starting to fade away as she embraced Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disturb her either. He only ced his hand around her body and let her snuggle with him closely. Zhan Qingyue wanted to stay in this position forever but something warm poking against her belly ensured that she couldn''t embrace Zhan Chen for a longer period.


    "Little Chen, what should we do about it?", she raised her head and asked Zhan Chen. Her hand involuntary went towards Zhan Chen''s manhood as she wanted to feel the warmthing from it.


    "Big sis, just move your hand. It needs your help to be normal again", Zhan Chen spoke. Zhan Qingyue nodded her head and wrapped her hand more tightly around the thick dragon.


    She started to stroke the dragon gently while looking towards Zhan Chen. "Little Chen, let''s go to the bed. It will be morefortable that way", she proposed while gently stroking Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "We can go the bed but before that let me see you first", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled her robe down to uncover a patch of white around her chest. Zhan Qingyue didn''t protest as she let Zhan Chen undress her.


    "Big sis, you are looking very pretty today", Zhan Chen spoke after taking down Zhan Qingyue ''s clothes. She was looking like an angel with the white undergarment covering her body.


    "Little Chen, do I really look pretty?", Zhan Qingyue inquired while looking at Zhan Chen with expectation in her heart. "Of course. No one is more pretty in this world than my big sis", Zhan Chen spoke while admiring the beauty infront of him.


    "Hmph! When did you be so bold infront of me?", Zhan Qingyue snorted slightly but her heart was full of happiness now. She was back to her confident shelf after seeing the look of admiration in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Little Chen, undress yourselfpletely and lie on the bed. I will make sure that you will feel good in no time", Zhan Qingyue spoke. She was feeling shy inside her heart but she still ordered Zhan Chen with a straight face.


    "dly", Zhan Chen beamed after hearing themand of his elder sister. It had been a while since he saw her dominant and confident shelf.


    He obediently took down his robe and lied on the medium sized bed which was still filled with Zhan Qingyue''s sweet odour. Zhan Chen made himselffy on her bed and looked at Zhan Qingyue to see her next action.


    Zhan Qingyue blushed slightly after noticing the gaze of Zhan Chen. But she quickly hid her shyness in the depth of her heart and walked towards Zhan Chen.


    She climbed the bed and knelt beside Zhan Chen''s waist. Then she crouched down and brought her mouth closer towards Zhan Chen''s dragon. It was a privilege for Zhan Chen as he enjoyed the care and love of his elder sister.


    "Slurp! Slurp", the explicit sound rang in the air as Zhan Qingyue brought her head upward and downward. She was caressing the family jewels of Zhan Chen while moving her head upward and downward.


    "Big sis, you must be tired by now. Let us switch the ce", Zhan Chen spoke after a while. He didn''t wait for Zhan Qingyue''s consent and made her sleep on the bed.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    He himself lied atop her body and upied her lips with his own. A passionate kiss followed soon after as both of them were eager to express their desire for eachother.


    Zhan Chen moved downward after sharing a kiss with Zhan Qingyue. He ced a kiss on her neck and proceed towards her peaks which she kept covered untill now.


    Zhan Chen pulled the string of her undergarment and the whitish piece of cloth became undonepletely. Two snowy mountains revealed themselves and it amplified the allure of Zhan Qingyue''s body.


    "Mmmm~", Zhan Qingyue moaned as Zhan Chen started to massage her peaks. The pink buds atop her snowy mountain started to swell as waves of pleasure washed through her body.


    Zhan Chen left teeth marks on her nipples before moving downward. Zhan Qingyue was already floating in cloud by the time Zhan Chen let go of her snowy peaks.


    Zhan Chen took outst piece of cloth covering her body. A secret garden full of allure appeared infront of him after he took down thest piece of obstacle.


    The secret garden of Zhan Qingyue waspletely clean with a shed of pink in the middle of it. Zhan Chen made her bent her knees and moved his mouth towards the entrance of her secret garden.


    Zhan Qingyue ''s mind went nk as Zhan Chen proceeded to charge with his tongue. Few momentsster, a stream of fragrant water came out from Zhan Qingyue''s cave.


    A look of ecstacy appeared on Zhan Qingyue''s face as she looked towards Zhan Chen lovingly. Zhan Chen was not yet satisfied with tasting her body. So, he turned her body and made her sleep on her belly.


    Her tantalizing back became bare infront of Zhan Chen as he rained down kisses on her bare back. Zhan Qingyue blushed when Zhan Chen moved towards the portion below her waistline.


    He groped her half moons as a felling of soft bouncyness upied his mind. He rained down kisses on them too before proceeding to lick the crack hidden between her meaty thighs.


    Zhan Qingyue was yet to recoverpletely from earlier wave of pleasure when her mind went nk once again. Another wave of pleasure ran through her body as she started to moan softly.


    Infront of the experienced tongue of Zhan Chen, she had to admit defeat finally. A look of blissfulness appeared on her face when she released a stream of yin water from her sacred cave.


    Zhan Chen didn''t torment her anymore as he let her took some rest. Zhan Qingyue wanted to continue further but Zhan Chen adviced her against it.


    "Big sis, dual cultivation is good when it is done between two partners. Here, we are only exhausting ourselves without sharing the benefit between us. So, wait untill you are ready to break the final barrier. We can do it as much as you want by then", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Instead of continuing, how about I give you a massage. I promise you will feel better within a short period", Zhan Chen looked towards Zhan Qingyue.


    "Do as you wish. I just don''t want you to leave me today", Zhan Qingyue spoke. Her emotion waspletely bare to see as she looked lovingly towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself anymore as another passionate kiss followed between them. Zhan Chen let go of all his worries and decided to apany his sister for a day.

 Chapter 297 A Pleasant Afternoon

    "Little Chen, few days ago, I have seen a sweet dream", Zhan Qingyue spoke while blushing lightly.


    "Ohh, what is the dream? Please share it with me. I want to know what is the dream that make you so flustered?", Zhan Chen asked while admiring the lovely look of his elder sister.


    "Little Chen, it is about the baby.... Our baby. Yours and mine", Zhan Qingyue spoke while feeling shy all of a sudden. Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the shed of red blush on her face.


    "Big sis, why are you dreaming about only a single child? You should be more optimistic. I need atleast three or four child to be precise", Zhan Chen spoke while smiling.


    "At least three or four!", Zhan Qingyue ''s heartbeat rose all of a sudden. She was feeling all shy when she noticed the amused look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Bad Chen", she lightly hit the chest of Zhan Chen and dove into his embrace. Zhan Chen didn''t do anything rather embrace her with one of his hand for a while.


    ''A child! I have never think of that before'', he thought to himself while embracing Zhan Qingyue. A tender look appeared on his face when he heard the soft sounding from his chest.


    "Big sis always show her fierce angle when she interact with others. But no one knows that she is such a baby inside", Zhan Chen thought while caressing the back of Zhan Qingyue. He didn''t separate her from his chest rather pull out a thin nket and covered both of their naked bodies with it.


    Zhan Qingyue slept piecefully on Zhan Chen''s chest and her breath was even. There was a sweet smile draped on her face which amplified her natural beauty. Zhan Chen was patient with her as he apained her silently.


    He was nning to have some quiet time like this but a knocking sound from the door sshed water on his nning. "Who is knocking the door?", he frowned slightly and separated Zhan Qingyue from his chest. He was careful so as not to disturb Zhan Qingyue while she was sleeping.


    He pulled on his robe and walked towards the door to unlock it. The frowning look on his face disappeared after he saw the visitor waiting outside Zhan Qingyue''s room.


    "Young master Chen!", a sweet voice greeted him after he opened the door of Zhan Qingyue. It was Zi Ningxi, the little princess of the Red cloud kingdom who hade to visit Zhan Qingyue in the afternoon.


    "Good afternoon princess, I wonder what business do you have with big sis?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Ningxi after greeting her courteously.


    "Young master Chen, what is elder sister Qingyue doing?", Zi Ningxi asked in a reserved manner. She tried to avoid looking at Zhan Chen''s face because of the shyness in her heart.


    "I have been rather negligant to the princess and her aunt. It is a good time to make herfortable with me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Big sis is sleeping. I am wondering what to do and you have shown yourself. So, why don''t we take some time to catch up. I bet both of us have some matters to share with eachother", Zhan Chen spoke to Zi Ningxi.


    "Young master Chen, we can talk inside my room", Zi Ningxi replied politely but her heart was beating nonstop like a startled deer after she heard the words of Zhan Chen.


    "We shall do as you propose", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face and gave Zi Nigxi a you first sign with his hand. Zi Ningxi sneaked a quick nce towards Zhan Chen''s face before looking away shyly.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Young master Chen, please follow me", she spoke and walked towards her room. Her room was adjacent to Zhan Qingyue''s room. So, Zhan Chen had no problem in keeping watch on his elder sister while talking with Zi Ningxi.


    "What is he going to speak to me?", Zi Mingxi was feeling nervous inside her heart when she heard Zhan Chen''s voice. "Princess, why don''t we take a seat first?", Zhan Chen proposed while looking at the nervous princess of the Red cloud kingdom.


    "Yes, let me fetch the chair for you", Zi Ningxi spoke and quickly went towards the back corner to fetch a wooden chair for Zhan Chen. She herself remain standing in her position even after Zhan Chen satfortably on the wooden chair.


    "Princess, why are you not sitting?", Zhan Chen knitted his eyebrows. Inwardly, he was feeling a headache after seeing how reserved the little princess of Red cloud kingdom was.


    "I need to make herfortable with me", he thought to himself and looked towards Zi Ningxi.


    "Princess, can I ask you something?", he asked Zi Ningxi after she sat on her bed. Zi Ningxi nodded her head and looked towards Zhan with a shy expression on her face.


    "Princess, do you like me?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Ningxi while looking at her eyes. Zi Nigxi nodded her head almost immediately but she tried to look away after noticing the look on Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Princess, look at me", Zhan Chenmanded and forced Zi Ningxi to look at him. The little princess had no choice but to look into his eyes.


    Both of their eyes met for a while and Zhan Chen let her understand that he like her. He left the wooden chair and walked towards Zi Ningxi while maintaining the eyecontact with her.


    Zi Nigxi felt like something exploding in her heart as Zhan Chen stepped closer to her. Her little heart started to hop around frantically as she saw Zhan Chen closing the distance between them.


    "Princess, I consider you my woman already. So, there is no point in holding back", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her from the bed and cupped her face after she stood infront of him.


    His body automatically leaned towards her as he pressed his lips on her tender lips. The next few seconds were a novel experience for Zi Nigxi as she experienced her first kiss in her entire life. Her heart was full of love and sweetness when Zhan Chen finally decided to leave her.


    She blushed heavily when Zhan Chen tried to see through her expression. She hurriedly lowered her head as a bashful look appeared on her face.


    "Princess, your lips taste so good. I want to taste them once more", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Nigxi couldn''t even react when the second kiss in her entire life began.


    This time the kiss was more passionate and agressive. Zi Nigxi had to move her lips so as to aodate the needy movements from Zhan Chen.


    She gradually started to be ustomed to Zhan Chen''s movement as timepsed. Both of their lips remain glued to eachother as they wrapped eachother in an embrace.

 Chapter 298 There Are Things We Can Do!

    Zi Ningxi becamepletely red after she saw the look of desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes. Her heartbeat quicken further after her eyes went towards Zhan Chen''s croatch.


    "Young master Chen, we should stop. It will be bad if something happens before our marriage", Zi Ningxi spoke shyly.


    "Princess, are you worrying about our union?", Zhan Chen asked softly.


    Zi Ningxi nodded her head with a shy look on her face. Her heart was like a startled rabbit after she heard the word union from Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    "Princess, you are being worried for nothing. There are things we can do even before our marriage", Zhan Chen spoke.


    There was a small frown appeared on his face when he was talking with Zi Ningxi but the duration was so short that Zi Ningxi couldn''t notice any changes in his facial expression.


    "Young master Chen, what shall we do now?", Zi Ningxi asked after a moment of hesitation. She was looking forward to spend few more intimate moments with Zhan Chen yet she was scared that both of them might lose control and did the final act which was immoral for a royal princess of her stature.


    "Princess, we can start with taking off our clothes. Seeing each otherpletely will generate more trust between us", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Ningxi blushed yet she nodded her head slightly. Her body heated up after he saw the bare body of Zhan Chen infront of him.


    "Princess, your turn now. You can leave your inner clothes if you want but you have to take off your upper garment", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Ningxi felt hesitant yet she sumbed to her desire and the expectant look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    An extremely beautiful body where there was not a single speck of blemish appeared infront of Zhan Chen after Zi Ningxi took off her clothes. She didn''t have any exaggerated curves yet the curves she had posessed were so perfect that Zhan Chen couldn''t peel his eyes for a moment.


    He admired her breathtaking looking beauty for a moment before speaking with her. "Princess, I have never imagined that you will look so beautiful after taking off your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master Chen, stop looking at me. It is embarassing", Zi Ningxi spoke and covered her face with both of her hands.


    "How beautiful!", Zhan Chen eximed after seeing the lovely expression on Zi Ningxi ''s face. He walked towards her so that he could examine her from a much closer distance.


    He took away both off her hands and pressed his lips on Zi Ningxi''s. Zi Nigxi cooperated more actively this time as both of them tasted the saliva of eachother. Zi Ningxi was reserved by nature. So, Zhan Chen had to guide her constantly so as to find active responses from her.


    "Princess, let''s go to your bed", Zhan Chen proposed. Zi Ningxi nodded her head and Zhan Chen lifted her off.


    Zhan Chen leaned on Zi Ningxi''s body after cing her on the bed. Both of their lips connected once again as they snuggled with eachother.


    "Princess, can I remove this? I want to see how you look inside?", Zhan Chen pointed towards her silky garment which was covering both of her peaks. Zi Ningxi nodded her head as she couldn''t deny any request of Zhan Chen at this moment.


    Two unripe melons appeared infront of Zhan Chen after he took off her clothes. There was a protruding point in each of the melon which further piqued his curiousity.


    "Nnnn~", Zi Ningxi let out a moan as Zhan Chen squeezed both of her peaks with his hands. Her peaks started to swell further after she received the stimtion from Zhan Chen''s hands.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "She is still developing them", Zhan Chen thought to himself while knedding her unripe breasts. He gave a kiss on her slender navel after leaving her breasts alone.


    Zhan Chen finally came close to herher pce after raining kisses across her body. He gave few kisses on her thighs before removing thest piece of cloth, covering her body.


    "Mmmm~", Zi Ningxi moaned as Zhan Chen invaded her sacred garden with his tongue. Her body started to tremble as waves of pleasure coarsed through her body.


    "Young master, please stop", she pleaded as an unknown rush came to her lower belly. The feeling bacame stong gradually as Zhan Chen continued with his assault. Zi Ningxi couldn''t hold back herself anymore after few moments passed. Her body jerked up violently as a stream of water spilled on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Young master Chen, please forgive me", she spoke with an anxious look on her face. The guilty look on her face turned into blushing one after she saw the look on Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen was looking at her eagerly after drinking the fragrant water that came out from herher garden.


    "Young master, can you do it again?", Zi Ningxi spoke after gathering courage. "dly", Zhan Chen replied and again proceeded with his tongue assault.


    "Stop! You big pervert", an anxious voice came out from the thin air as Zhan Chen proceeded. Zhan Chen chuckled and turned to look at a certain direction.


    A pretty looking girl appeared inside Zi Ningxi ''s room after the voice was heard. Zi Ningxi bacamepletely stunned after seeing an unknown girl inside her room.


    "Little girl, why are you here? Don''t you know, it is rude to disturb adults while they are doing their things?", Zhan Chen spoke with an amused expression on his face.


    "You baddie! How can you do such things whenever Ie to find you?", the pretty looking girlined. She had two red blushes on her lovely cheeks as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    The identity of the little intruder was Long Xinyu. She was the little dragon girl who was behind the incident in the Serpentine forest.


    Zhan Chen introduced Long Xinyu to Zi Ningxi. She bacame surprised after hearing that Long Xinyu was already at emperor realm despite being of such a low age. Her astonishment amplified when Zhan Chen revealed that Long Xinyu hade from the mythical Immortal realm.


    "So, little girl, tell me? Why have you disturbed us?


    You must have a valid reason. Otherwise, I will spank that little bottom of yours", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What, my bottom!", Long Xinyu became redpletely. A cautious look appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "You pervert! Big baddy! How can you say such things so lightly?", Long Xinyu protested. Zhan Chen gave her an uninterested look before looking towards Zi Ningxi again.


    "You pervert! Look, I am no Little. I also have them like others", Long Xinyu spoke as she pressed her chest from the sides tightly. Her body posture was hrious as she was trying her best to project herself as a grown girl.


    "Ha ha ha", Zhan Chen finally couldn''t control hisughter after seeing Long Xinyu like this. Even the reserved Zi Ningxi smiled a little after seeing the forceful expression of Long Xinyu.

 Chapter 299 Leaving The Longyang City

    "Ok, ok, I admit that you are an adult. Tell me now, why have youe to find me?", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu.


    "First promise me that you will help me. Otherwise, I will not share my reason with you", Long Xinyu spoke.


    Zhan Chen looked at the unreasonable girl for a moment. Seeing the crafty look on her face, he knew she was upto no good.


    "Share your reason first. I can''t promise you anything without knowing the details", he spoke to Long Xinyu.


    "Stingy", Long Xinyu pouted her face immediately after hearing the reply of Zhan Chen. Both Zi Ningxi and Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing her like this.


    "What is so funny you big pervert? I thought you are a good person but here you are so stupid that you can''t even understand anything", Long Xinyu spoke with an angry look on her face. She was nning to chide Zhan Chen further but an untimely sound interrupted her from speaking.


    "Gulu!", sound of stomach rumbling came out and both Zhan Chen and Zi Ningxi became stunned by the loud sound associated with it.


    Both of the cheeks of Long Xinyu became red after she saw the astonished expression on the faces of both Zhan Chen and Zi Ningxi. She threw a resentful look at Zhan Chen before bing invisible again.


    "So, you want my help in finding food", Zhan Chen mumbled as a look of understanding appeared on his face. She recalled what he had learnered about dragons and realisation about Long Xinyu ''s difficulty dawned upon him.


    "Little girl, I promise I will help you. So,e out and tell me, what do you want?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    His words were in vein as Long Xinyu didn''te out even after few moments of waiting. "She must have fled to Xiu Lan''s room", Zhan Chen thought to himself and bade farewell to Zi Ningxi.


    Zi Ningxi happily bade him farewell as she knew it was important to pacify the strange little girl. Zhan Chen went towards Sun Xiun''s room after leaving the room of Zi Ningxi.


    He didn''t have to cover all the distance as she felt the presence of Long Xinyu in the air. He could sense that she was observing him while maintaining a certain distance.


    "Little girl, sorry for my earlier rudeness. Now that I have known your problem, I promise I will help you as much as you want", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Are you telling the truth?", the voice of Long Xinyu came out from the air after Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and Long Xinyu finally shown herself once again infront of him.


    ------------------


    A powerful soul consciousness approached the Rosewood inn in the morning next day. Zhan Chen who was cultivating peacefully opened his eyes and looked towards the sky. "It is time to leave", he murmured to himself and left his room.


    Lin Xintong, Sun Xiu Lan, Kai Min, Li Shu, Li Yan, Zhan Qingyue, Zi Ningxi and Zi Nuan were already present in the main hall when Zhan Chen entered inside. All of them stopped their conversation and looked at him when he stepped inside the main hall of the Rosewood inn.


    "Everyone, are you ready to leave the city?", Zhan Chen looked towards the girls present. All of them nodded their heads except Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong.


    "You two, have you made your decision?", Zhan Chen looked towards Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong.


    "Yes, young master", both of them replied simultaneously as a decisive look appeared on both of their faces.


    "Young master, we appreciate your offer to join others in the journey to the Xuantian sect but we have decided otherwise.


    Both of us want to continue to stay here and cultivate quitely", Sun Xiun spoke. Lin Xintong also nodded her head and looked towards Zhan Chen.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "As you wish", Zhan Chen spoke softly and told others to gather in the entrance. Two experts were already waiting for them when they gathered outside the Rosewood inn.


    One of the expert was Lu Tai Cang who had apanied Zhan Chen and his group since their arrival to the Longyang city. Other expert was the elder of the Xuantian sect, Ying Chao who hade to bring Zhan Chen to the Xuantian sect.


    "Good morning seniors", Zhan Chen greeted both of the experts respectively. The girls present also followed suit as they bowed their heads towards Lu Tai Cang and Ying Chao.


    "Little girls, it is a pleasure to meet you all. But now, I must say farewell. Elder Chao will take care of you all after I leave", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Senior, thank you for your time and care", Li Yan, Li Shu, Kai Min, Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun bowed towards Lu Tai Cang once again.


    "Farewell", Lu Tai Cang smiled and spoke to Zhan Chen and other girls. He took a look at Ying Chao before flying towards the distance.


    "Zhan Chen, cultivate properly. I hope you will give me a surprise when we meet once again", the voice of Lu Tai Cang came to Zhan Chen''s mind.


    Zhan Chen smiled as he saw Lu Tai Cang flying towards the distance.


    "Zhan Chen, are you ready to leave?", Ying Chao asked after Lu Tai Cang left. There was a strange look on his face as he observed all the women gathered infront of the Rosewood inn.


    "Yes senior, we can leave for the Xuantian sect right away", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Are you bringing all of them along?", Ying Chao pointed towards all the girls present around Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, all of them wille with me except two Xintong and Xiun", Zhan Chen replied.


    "One, two three, four, five, six", Ying Chao counted the number of girls around Zhan Chen and his mouth twitched at the end. ''What a womanizer this brat is! I have to tell him the rules before taking all of them to the Xuantian sect", Ying Chao thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen, I want you to be mindful of few rules before entering the Xuantian sect", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, please speak. I will try to obey all the rules that Xuantian sect has put in ce", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "First of all, we have three type of disciples. Outer court disciples, Inner court disciples and core disciples.


    The cultivators who are generally selected into our sect are the Outer court disciples. They are thergest group of cultivators inside our Xuantian sect.


    Their high number means they are the less privileged group among the cultivators of the Xuantian sect. They have to earn sect points to be able to cultivate inside the sect.


    Above them are inner court disciples who have far better privileges than the outer court disciples. They do not have thepulsion to earn sect points to be able to stay inside the Xuantian sect.


    The most privileged group among the disciples are the core disciples. Their numbers are very few. So, they get to enjoy most of the privileges inside the Xuantian sect.


    Your rank in the Grand sectpetetion automatically make you eligible to be an inner court disciple. But you have to keep in mind that there are still core disciples above you.


    An inner court disciple can bring ten person with them. But only two of their status will be equal to the Outer court disciples. Other eight will be treated asmoners and they don''t have any privileges that outer court disciples enjoy", Ying Chao spoke.

 Chapter 300 Leaving The Longyang City (2)

    "Big sis, Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and two princess areing with me. Two of them will be given the status of Outer court disciples. It means four of them will have to stay with the status of outsiders?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ying Chao with a frown on his face.


    "There are no outsiders in our sect. Inner court disciples can bring ten people with them and all of them are considered as the subordinates of that said disciple", Ying Chao exined.


    "In fact, subordinates are the strength of an inner disciple. They will help him in bringing resources and do all the chores. So, it will be best if you find some capable ones", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Senior, thank you for your suggestion. But I will not find any subordinates other than them. They are more than capable to help me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Well then. Do as you wish", Ying Chao spoke and took a good look at the girls around Zhan Chen. His eyes lit up when he observed the princess of Red cloud kingdom with his soul consciousness.


    "Girl, you have an affinity with wood element?", he asked Zi Ningxi.


    "Yes senior", Zi Ningxi replied nervously.


    "Good, our sect will dly receive you as an outer court disciple. Elders from the White peak wille to examine you and you will be fortunate if you are choosen by one of them", Ying Chao spoke.


    "White peak?", Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment. But seeing the look of surprise in Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun''s eyes, he guessed that it was a good thing for Zi Ningxi.


    "Senior, thank you", Zi Ningxi bowed towards Ying Chao. She could guess that it was a good opportunity for her. So, she felt thankful to both Ying Chao and Zhan Chen.


    "Well then, enough chitchat. Shall we go?", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, we are ready", Zhan Chen replied. Ying Chao took out a boat shaped flying treasure and helped everyone enter it. Zhan Chen took a look at Lin Xintong and Sun Xiun before boarding the flying treasure of Ying Chao.


    Sun Xiun and Lin Xintong felt that something welling up in their hearts but they still bade farewell to Zhan Chen with a smile on their faces. Their attempt was to didn''t trouble Zhan Chen while he was starting an important journey in his cultivation path.


    Zhan Chen could see that both of them were hiding their emotions to the best of their abilities. He knew it would be difficult but he had never imagined that both of them would feel this attached to him.


    "Xiun, Xintong, don''t be sad. I promise I wille to see you when ever I have time. But in return, you two must promise me one thing. Never neglect your cultivation no matter what you do", Zhan Chen sent a mental message to both of the girls who were looking at the distance horizon with mncholy in their eyes.


    ------------------


    Ying Chao stopped the flying treasure after reaching above the central district of the Longyang city. He lowered the flying treasure and everyone could see that a beauty was waiting for them near a mansion.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Jia Lingyi!", the girls present in the flying treasure immediately recognised the icy beauty after seeing her from the distance. Ying Chao invited her and Jia Lingyi flew upward to enter the flying treasure.


    She bowed slightly towards Ying Chao before looking at all the women of Zhan Chen. A perplexed look appeared on her face but she quickly supressed her curiousity and turned to a block of ice like before. Zhan Chen was willing to greet her but he changed his mind after seeing her indifferent attitude.


    Ying Chao smiled slightly after seeing the dilemma of Zhan Chen. It was not a new thing for him as it happened with most of the inner court disciples of the Xuantian sect.


    He took a quick nce at the surrounding before steering the flying treasure once again. The boat shaped flying treasure gathered momentum after they left the city gate of the Longyang city.


    "Longyang city, wait for my retu Zhan Chen spoke to himself after leaving the city gate. He spread his soul consciousness cautiously so as not to alert any hostile emperor realm expert.


    "Strange, where is the little dragon girl? She promised me to follow us but I couldn''t find her anymore since we left the Rosewood inn", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He looked carefully for some clue but to his dismay, he couldn''t find Long Xinyu no matter how he looked.


    "Forget it, that girl has some strang means. I bet no one can find her if she is able to evade my soul consciousness", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He took a look at the Cloud province while Ying Chao was taking them towards the Xuantian sect. Time started to flutter away and few hourster, they approached the boundary between the Dragon province and the Cloud province.


    "We have reached the White mist river", Ying Chao announced and stopped the flying treasure for a moment. His intention was to have a look at the legendary river before continuing their journey.


    There was nothing except mist in the entire river. Zhan Chen also felt curious about the strange river and spread his soul consciousness towards it.


    "How is this possible?", he murmured to himself after sending his soul consciousness towards the White mist river. An incredulous look appeared on his face as he felt some obstruction in the way of his soul consciousness.


    "The river is hindering my soul consciousness!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself with astonishment in his heart. He pushed his soul consciousness forward but he couldn''t see anything beyond few feets of distance.


    "It is almost like a quagmire", he murmured to himself with a hint of astonishment in his eyes. He finally withdrew his soul consciousness when Ying Chao resumed their journey.


    After the mysterious White mist river, it was the Dragon province. Ying Chao kept steering the flying treasure as they made their way towards the Xuantian sect.


    "Watch out", suddenly the anxious voice of Zhan Chen came. Before Ying Chao could do anything, a blinding light engulfed the flying treasure of Ying Chao.


    "What is happening?", before the women of Zhan Chen could understand anything, the flying treasure nose dived towards the ground. Ying Chao stood helplessly as the boat shaped flying treasure collided with the ground.

 Chapter 301 Surprise After Surprise

    "Is everyone okay?", Ying Chao asked after erecting an essence energy barrier at the nick of the time.


    "Senior, we are fine", Zhan Chen replied. Ying Chao nodded his head and looked at the surrounding with a frown on his face. "Just what is going on?", he murmured to himself and spread his soul consciousness wide.


    "It is a flying restriction formation", Zhan Chen spoke. A look of understanding appeared on the face of Ying Chao after he examined the entire area.


    "You are right. It is arge restriction formation.


    Moreover, looking at the spirit energy fluctuation, I can tell that it is set up recently ", Ying Chaomented.


    "Everyone, be alert. Who ever has set up this formation is very crafty", he shouted at the group of Zhan Chen and Jia Lingyi.


    "Senior, what should we do now?", Jia Lingyi enquired after standing still for a while. There was an uncertain look on her face as she couldn''t find anyone in the surrounding area.


    "Girly, be patient. We do not know whether there are any further danger waiting outside the formation", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, who do you think causing the trouble?", he shifted his eyes towards Zhan Chen after speaking with Jia Lingyi.


    "I don''t know but we should stay cautious. Moreover, it will be to our advantage of we can send a message to the Spirit pce", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Well then. Let''s see if the Spirit pce is willing to help", Ying Chao replied. He hesitated for a moment before taking out a blue coloured tailsman from his spatial ring.


    "A sky grade tailsman!", Zhan Chen ''s eyes lit up for a moment. The blue coloured tailsman started to glow as Ying Chao infused his essence energy inside it. It glowed for several moments before losing its luster.


    "Ying Chao, you are far more paranoid than we have imagined", a voice suddenly came out from nowhere. A tensed expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he could perceive few powerful auras around them.


    "Show yourselves", Ying Chao tried to appear as much calm as possible. But secretly he was circting his essence energy all over his body.


    A group of cultivators appeared on a distant hill after the voice was heard. Ying Chao ''s expression changed after he saw the appearance of the cultivators.


    "Hou Zihen! Ning Tao! Why are you two together? Moreover who are the seniors behind you?", Ying Chao asked as a bad premonition rose in his heart.


    "Ying Chao! Don''t act like a stupid. We all know how capable you are. As for our purpose, that is the brat behind you", a cultivator in the forefront of the group of experts spoke.


    "Hou Zihen, you havee for Zhan Chen?", Ying Chao finally understood what the group of experts want. But his understanding came toote as the enemy experts dispersed to various directions.


    "Ying Chao! Do not resist. Our target is only the brat from Zhan n. But unfortunately, you are the once escorting him to the Xuantian sect", Hou Zihen replied.


    "You n to silent me?", Ying Chao looked at Hou Zihen with disbelief on his face. He didn''t receive any answer but the cold look on his opponents ''s face, made him realise how worse the condition of his group was.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Compared to the look of disbelief on Ying Chao ''s face, Zhan Chen was rather calm at this moment. He felt tensed for a while, butter he managed to calm down himself. His gaze was currently focused on two old men who had came along with the group of assants.


    "Attack", Hou Zihen spoke and three attacks came towards Ying Chao simultaneously. Ying Chao erected an energy shield in response but it could only sustain untill the third attack.


    Hou Zihen who was talking to him untill now, sprang into action andunched a palm strike towards Ying Chao.


    Ying Chao hurriedly defended himself as a line of blood trickled out from the corner of his lips. A decisive look appeared on his face as he took out a pill from his spatial ring.


    Few attacks rained on him once again but Ying Chao managed to defend himself sessfully. He gave a mad dash towards an opponent andunched a first strike towards him.


    A gigantic first glowing with faint yellow colour went towards his opponent. His opponent barely defended the attack but his body crashed on the ground in response to Ying Chao ''s attack.


    Hou Zihen who was looking at everything with a cold looking face gave a signal to another of his aplice. He pretended to move towards Ying Chao but his body appeared near Zhan Chen strangely.


    He let out a devious smile before thrusting his sword towards Zhan Chen. Contrary to his expectation, his attack didn''t manage to kill Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen dodged the sudden attack calmly with the help of Cloud chasing steps. There was a calm look on his face as he observed his attacker.


    "Ate Tribtion realm expert", he thought to himself and took out his sword. There was an incredulous look on the face of his attacker as he saw a young man like Zhan Chen taking out a sword to fight with him.


    "Brat, you are overrestimating yourself", his attacker shouted and dashed towards Zhan Chen. Heunched a flurry of attack which could overwhelm a Martial ascension realm expert immediately.


    To the surprise of the attacker and Jia Lingyi who was watching from the side, Zhan Chen managed to dodge every single attackunched towards him. Moreover, he had craftily distanced himself from his women so as not to drag them into his fight.


    Hou Zihen finally lost hisposure after seeing Zhan Chen dodging the attack of a Tribtion realm expert. A glint appeared on his face, as he looked towards an old expert in the distance.


    "There is no need to guard anymore. Senior Huzi, please take action", he spoke to the old man standing in a distance.


    The old man nodded his head and took a step forward. To the surprise of the onlookers, he appeared near Zhan Chen in the next instance.


    "An emperor realm expert!", Jia Lingyi ''s expression changed after she saw the old man in action. The old man calmly looked at Zhan Chen and released his aura. A colossal pressure came crashing towards Zhan Chen which rendered him incapable to move.


    Zhan Chen waspletely fearless as he matched his gaze with the old man. The d man was just going to take action when suddenly a splitting sound came from the air.


    The expression of the old emperor changed for a moment but before he could do anything, he found an arrow lodged on his back. Another splitting sound was heard and his otherpanion who was also an emperor, shot with an arrow.


    Both of their expressions changed as they found both of their souls getting corroded in a very fast pace. Both of them hurriedly withdrew from the battle and tried to supress the injuries they got from the arrows.

 Chapter 302 Mighty Ancestor

    "Senior Huzi, Senior Lang, are you okay?", Hou Zihen asked with a concerned look on his face. Both of the emperors didn''t reply to him immediately as they were too busy in supressing their soul injuries.


    "Ying Chao, you cunning bastard! Tell me the truth, which senior is protecting you all along?", Hou Zihen inquired. There was a tensed expression on his face as he thought about the emperor realm experts of the Xuantian sect.


    "Zihen, you fool! Withdraw immediately. Do whatever you can to escape this ce", one of the emperor spoke. Other emperor also nodded his head and looked towards the other experts from his group.


    "All of you, try to escape however you can. We two will try to hold their experts for a while", the emperor realm expert spoke. There was a cautious look on his face as he watched the surrounding with vignce in his eyes.


    "What a farce! The Heavenly sword sect is getting mediocre with each passing days.


    And here I thought, I will have some more fun before ying you", an eerie voice came out from the surrounding.


    The enemy experts consisting of two emperors and five Heavenly tribtion realm experts froze in their ces after they heard the eerie sound. Their hearts were gripped with fear as they looked at the surrounding with extreme cautious on their faces.


    "Their is no point in escaping. Surrender yourselves and I promise, it will be a painless death for all of you", the voice added again. This time, everyone could perceive where the speaker was. So, everyone present looked at that direction to see the appearance of the speaker.


    A figure materialized in the mid air at a distant location. He was holding a great bow which was almost of the same length as his height.


    The bow wielding expert took a step forward and he reached near the ce where Zhan Chen was standing. Zhan Chen became slightly cautious but his cautious look turned into that of surprise when heid his eyes on the ancient robe that the bow wielding expert was wearing.


    There was a symbol of five leaves engraved on the ancient looking robe. Anyone from the Zhan family would recognise this symbol as it was the ancient signia of the Zhan n since their inception.


    "Greetings ancestor", Zhan Chen bowed towards the bow wielding expert who was standing near him. The eyes of the bow wielding expert became soft for for a moment before he reverted to his cold looking expression.


    "A great bow, Insignia of the Zhan n and such a murderous aura! I beleive we are unfortunate toe across this man!", an emperor of the Heavenly sword sect murmured under his breath. There was a shocked expression on his face as he looked towards the bow wielding expert who was standing close to Zhan Chen.


    "Elder brother Huzi,e to your sense. How can we fight him if you lost yourposure at such a time", the other emperor realm expert from the Heavenly sword sect frowned after seeing the facial expression of hispanion.


    "Fight! You think, we can fight! No emperor dare stand and fight him if they here that butcher of the Zhan n, Zhan Youngyou wasing", the emperor of the Heavenly sword sect spoke with a dazed expression on his face.


    The expression of the other emperor also changed after he heard the word ''Zhan Youngyou'' from hispanion ''s mouth. "How is it possible?", he could only utter this much before a storm swept across the Heavenly sword sect''s experts.


    It was a quick and bloody storm. Nothing remained except blood and gore after the storm swept past. The face of the Zhan Chen ''s women and Jia Lingyi contorted with disgust after they saw what happened infront of them.


    "Bleh!", Li Shu was the first to throw up as she couldn''t control herself anymore. Kai Min and Zi Ningxi was the next as they couldn''t stop the churning in their stomachs.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Li Yan and Zi Nuan were also feeling the same but they managed to hold back. Jia Lingyi also managed to control herself but her icy expression was no more. Rather she looked at the bow wielding man with vignce and apprehension in her eyes.


    "Can''t even tolerate this much! This shows how inexperienced you are at your age", the bow wielding expert spoke. He still had the cold look on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen''s women.


    Zhan Chen frowned slightly but didn''t say anything. The words of the bow wielding expert was harsh but he was telling the bitter truth of the cultivation world.


    "Greetings senior. Excuse me for my disrespect untill now", Ying Chao bowed towards the bow wielding expert. There was some fear and curiousity in his eyes as he looked towards the cold looking expert.


    "Late Tribtion realm, Xuantian sect! Good for you but you still need some moulding before you reach the quasi emperor realm", the bow wielding expert spoke.


    "Senior, thanks for your words. My name is Ying Chao. I am an elder of the Xuantian sect. If it is not too much can I have your esteemed name", Ying Chao asked.


    "Zhan Youngyou''", the bow wielding expert spoke. He didn''t talk too much with Ying Chao before shifting his gaze towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    "Girl, there is something different about you. I can feel an another bloodline other than my Zhan n''s", the bow wielding expert spoke.


    Zhan Qingyue felt confused but she didn''t think too much at that moment. Rather, she was happy that their Zhan n had another mighty ancestor other than Zhan Lin.


    She showed proper etiquette infront of her ancestor and a smile appeared on the cold face of Zhan Youngyou.


    "I thought our n is done for. There is nothing but hate remained in my heart after I woke up from my slumber. Holy tree saved my Zhan n as always. But seeing her weakened state, I have nothing but hate and anguish towards this world.


    I am fortunate that senior Xuan stopped me at that time. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to see my Zhan n living and prospering once again", Zhan Youngyou spoke. There was a gratified look on his face as he looked at Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue once again.


    "Have you two joined the Xuantian sect?", Zhan Youngyou looked towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    "Senior, he is the winner of this year''s grand sectpetition. So, he is entitled to choose whichever sect he can. But the girl....!", Ying Chao spoke from the side.


    "What about the girl? Do your sect have any problem to take one of my n memeber?", Zhan Youngyou frowned.


    Cold sweat appeared on the forehead of Ying Chao after he saw the frowning look on Zhan Youngyou''s face. "Senior, we have not admitted her yet. But let me assure you, I will do my best to take her in as a inner court disciple", Ying Chao spoke. There was a look of helplessness on his face as he recalled one line of caution from his teacher.


    ''You can find anyone unreasonable but try to bear with them because you will understand the true meaning of ''unreasonable'' when youe across the mad men from the Zhan n.''

 Chapter 303 Arrival In The Xuantian Sect

    "Good, this is the least the Xuantian sect can do for my Zhan n. I still have a grudge on your sect for snatching mygrand daughter. But, this can be forgotten if you look after these two properly", Zhan Youngyou spoke.


    "By the way, how is my grand daughter? Is that brat Nie Tian bullying her?", Zhan Youngyou looked towards Ying Chao.


    "Senior, I don''t know. I have not seen madam sincest forty years", Ying Chao replied. There was a respectful look on his face as he replied to Zhan Youngyou.


    "Fine, I will find her myself. But before that, I want to see all the surviving members of my Zhan n", Zhan Youngyou spoke. He took another look at Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue before vanishing from his spot.


    "Phew!", Ying Chao exhaled after few moments. There was a look of relief on his face after he ascertained that Zhan Youngyou had indeed left.


    "This is too much for my old bones", he murmured to himself and guided the group of Zhan Chen and Jia Lingyi out of the restriction formation.


    "Zhan Chen, what are you doing?", Ying Chao felt puzzled as Zhan Chen dashed towards the minced bodies of the Heavenly sword sect. He was quick to grab few spatial rings before leaving the restriction formation.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t be stupid. There most be some magical treasures through which the Heavenly sword sect can trace our whereabouts", Ying Chao warned.


    "Senior, you don''t have to worry. We will just throw away such treasures if there are any in these spatial rings. The other spoils can be split among us. So that, all of us can benefit from this ambush", Zhan Chen replied. Ying Chao nodded his head as he was also curious to see the riches of the Heavenly sword sect experts''.


    Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing Ying Chao agreeing to his proposal. He threw a spatial ring towards him and gave another ring to Zi Nuan.


    "Senior sister, here is your share", he presented one spatial ring infront of Jia Lingyi.


    Jia Lingyi hesitated for a moment before taking the spatial ring form Zhan Chen. Her eyes shone after she checked the content inside with her soul consciousness.


    "These guys seem to be well fed in their sect. Now, they must be weeping as ghosts after seeing their riches in our hands", Ying Chaomented.


    "Everyone, check your spatial rings properly. You can keep the essence energy stones and the magical herbs to yourselves. But you have to hand over the magical treasures stored inside your spatial rings", Ying Chao spoke.


    Everyone did as they were said and gave the magical treasures to Ying Chao. There were smiles on the faces of Jia Lingyi and Zi Nuan although they had to hand over their magical treasures to Ying Chao.


    Zhan Chen also gave all magical treasures to Ying Chao but he kept one to himself. This treasure was the very reason for which he went out of the way and collected the spatial rings of the deceased experts.


    -------------------


    To the west of the Dragon province, it was the Earth province of the Northern desert continent. The Xuantian sect was located on one of the most famous mountain ranges of the Earth province. The mountain range was not only renowned in the Earth province rather it had quite a fame across all five provinces of the centralnd.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The name of the mountain range was ''Blue Qilin mountain range'' which was named after one of the most auspicious divine beast from the immortal world.


    It was said that the divine beast ''Blue Qilin'' once descended on the Northern desert continent. The mountain where it hadnded came to be known as Blue Qilin mountain. The nearby mountains also became renowned along with it and came to known as Blue Qilin mountain range as a whole.


    Fights broke out to upy the auspiciousnd but it was the Xuantian sect founder who came as victorious among all the warring participants.


    If legend was to be beleived, then he had captured a true dragon in this war. He tamed it and made it the guardian beast of the Xuantian sect. Centuries flew past but still the valiant war of the Xuantian sect founder was popr among the people from the Earth province.


    "A true dragon!", Zhan Chen also felt surprise after hearing the said legend from Ying Chao. The old expert became more friendly with him after he received a spatial ring.


    "I don''t know whether this is true or false but this is what described in the sect library. You can take a look if you want after we arrive in the sect", Ying Chao spoke. He was in a good mood after acquiring so much riches all of a sudden.


    "Forget about it. I have a different goal to pursue once I enter the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen thought to himself.The flying treasure flew in a steady pace as the group of Zhan Chen, Jia Lingyi and Ying Chao made way towards the Xuantian sect.


    A subtle yet different sensation assailed their minds as they approached a shadowy mountain from some distance. The shadowy mountain gradually became clear as they flew towards it with the flying treasure.


    "Wow! How beautiful", Li Shu eximed after they went near the tall mountain. Ying Chao smiled softly and decreased the speed of the flying treasure.


    Later, it was a visual treat to everyone as they witnessed the otherworldly beauty of the Blue Qilin mountain range. Mountain after mountain passed by and each mountain had some unique beauty inherent to it.


    "The core disciples of the sect can choose a peak of their own", Ying Chao informed the group of Zhan Chen. Suddenly, there were many expectant eyes on Zhan Chen and Ying Chaoughed a little after seeing the situation.


    ''It will make him strive for more. He is the hope of Zhan n. So, he has to outpace others to be a core disciple of the sect'', Ying Chao thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen could feel that the essence energy was thickening with the distance they travelled. The air was pure and full of essence energy, the more they traveled towards the inner circle of the Blue Qilin mountain range.


    Finally, few cultivators appeared infront of their eyes when they touched the inner circle of the mountain range. Ying Chao stopped the flying treasure and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Look downward. The cultivators who are patrolling there are the white guards of our sect. They will take you to the entrance where you will have to register yourselves.


    You will receive an identification token which you have to keep with you all the time. The girls with you also need to register themselves and two of them of them will receive the outer court token. Other girls will bepletely dependent on you and you have to arrange their matters yourself.


    Here are somemunication tailsman. You can contact me whenever you want if you face any trouble", Ying Chao spoke. He introduced Zhan Chen''s group to the white guards and left with Jia Lingyi.

 Chapter 304 Troublemakers

    "Zhan Chen, I am Chu Xingde. You can ask me anything whatever you want to know about the sect", the captain of the white guards introduced himself.


    "I will trouble senior brother then", Zhan Chen replied. Both of them kept talking with eachother untill the entrance to the Xuantian sect appeared.


    "Zhan Chen, I still have my duty to fulfill. So, I am taking my leave. You can look for me anytime in the outer court of the sect", Chu Xingde spoke. Zhan Chen bade him farewell and turned to look towards Zhan Qingyue, Li Shu, Kai Min, Li Yan, Zi Ningxi and Zi Nuan.


    "Before going inside, we need to talk with eachother. I must know what all of you want before entering the sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, I am actually nning to go back to the Red cloud kingdom after seeing thepetetion. But seeing the dangers of the Shredded mountain range, I changed my mind.


    I am only here to stay for a while. I will leave as soon as I get an opportunity", Zi Nuan spoke.


    "I want to join the sect", Zi Ningxi spoke.


    "Young master Chen, I am also nning to leave. It will be ideal for me to join the Weapon refinement union", Li Shu spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, I want to join the sect", Li Yan spoke.


    "Young master, I also want to cultivate here", Kai Min spoke when Zhan Chen''s gazended on her.


    "Big sis, what about you? I need to here your opinion before entering the sect", Zhan Chen looked towards Zhan Qingyue.


    "Little Chen, I want to stay here untill you find a cure for my problem. After that, I want you to apany me to the Red cloud kingdom", Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "Princess, are you sure you want to go back?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Nuan. Zi Ningxi also looked towards her aunt to hear her reply.


    "I want to improve my cultivation but I don''t want to be bound by a sect. Moreover, it will be inconvenient to join a sect at my age. So, It will be best if I go back and continue my cultivation in my pce", Zi Nuan spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked towards Li Shu.


    "Li Shu, I want you to stay here for a while. After everything settled here, I will personally apany you to the Weapon refinement union", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "As for the others, you all will join the sect alongside me. So, let''s go and see how the Xuantian sect actually looks like", he spoke to all the girls present.


    There was an archaic looking gate stood at the entrance to the Xuantian sect. The gate was made up of ck stone and there was a special aura about it which piqued the interest of Zhan Chen.


    He walked towards it with the group of girls but a voice stopped them from approaching the gate. "Halt. No one is allowed to enter inside without permission".


    A group of cultivators shown up after the voice was heard. All the cultivators looked young and they had arrogant expression on all of their faces. Zhan Chen frowned when he saw the lecherous looks on few of their faces.


    "Brat, identity yourself. You can not enter inside without gaining approval from us", a short statured young man who appeared to be the leader of young cultivators spoke.


    "I am Zhan Chen. Elder Ying Chao has invited me to join the sect", Zhan Chen replied.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Ying Chao! Is there any elder named Ying Chao in our sect?", the short statured young man looked towards hispanions. There was a mocking look on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen''s group.


    "Young master Lou, are you joking? This brat most be making things up", one of hispanion replied. There was amusing expression on their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen''s group.


    "Beauties, he most have fooled you. You shoulde with us if you want to enter the sect", one of thepanion of the short statured young man spoke. They kept taunting Zhan Chen with the expectation to rile him up.


    Contrary to their expectations, Zhan Chen waspletely calm since the beginning. He talked with the unreasonable group of cultivators with a calm expression on his face.


    "Brat, stop day dreaming. You are not allowed to enter the sect without showing an invitation to us", the group of cultivators spoke. Finally, an impatient look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after he heard all the nonsenses of the group of cultivators.


    ''Who is trying to give me trouble? I have yet to enter the sect but someone is trying to create problem for me from day one'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Zhan Chen or whatever, turn away immediately. You can go without the girls because they areing with us", the short statured young man spoke.


    "Enough", Zhan Chen spoke slowly. His figure vanished before the group of young cultivators could react.


    "Thud", a dull sound came as a cultivator crashed on the ground. Simr sounds came on a quick session and all thepanions of the short statured boy fell on the ground.


    "What is happening?", he could only utter this much before Zhan Chen''s silhouette appeared infront of his eyes.


    "What did you do to them?", the short statured young man looked at Zhan Chen with a horrified look on his face.


    "I have sent them to sleep. If you don''t talk honestly, then I can''t guarantee whether you die identally or not", Zhan Chen spoke.


    ------------------


    "What is everyone''s opinion?", a majestic voice rang in the air.


    "Senior, we need to observe him more", an elder with a flowing beard replied. His gaze was on a transparent sphere which was floating in the middle of a group of cultivators. Zhan Chen would have feel surprised because all the gathered experts were emperors!


    There was a scene currently being disyed on the surface of the sphere. Surprisingly, it was the scene from the entrance of the Xuantian sect where Zhan Chen was dealing with a group of unreasonable cultivators.


    "Senior, I have decided. Let all of them observe as much as they want but I will be taking this brat as a disciple of my sword peak", another cultivator looked towards the man who was floating at a greater height than the rest of the experts.


    "Yang Yukong, hold your horse. This brat is better suited to join my martial peak", an expert with a burly appearance spoke in a loud voice.


    "Hu Tao, you are speaking nonsense once again. How can a sword prodigee join your Martial peak", the expert who had spoke earlier bellowed.

 Chapter 305 Ancient Formation

    "All of you can fight over this brat as much as you want but you are not allowed to take a disciple of my Serene bamboo peak", a melodious voice came amidst the bickering of experts.


    All the bickering ceased as soon as they heard the voice. They shifted their focus from the transparent sphere and turned to look towards the only female expert in their gathering.


    "Beauty Meng, you manage to find another disciple?", one of the experts asked.


    "Yes, little Chao has sent a message about her. If her aptitude is good, then she can be promoted to an inner disciple", the beauty who appeared to be most calm among the gathered experts replied.


    "Is your disciple among these girls?", the experts gathered finally took an interest in Zhan Chen''s women. There was scrutinizing look on their faces as they observed Zhan Chen''s women.


    "Elder Meng, all girls seem to be capable. Please tell us, who is the one going to be the disciple of your Serene bamboo peak?", a bald expert asked while tousling his beard.


    "Here she is. I have yet observe her closely but I am sure that she is the one, little Chao was talking about", the female expert pointed towards Zi Ningxi. There was a curious look on her face as she observed all the activities of Zi Ningxi.


    -------------------


    Zhan Chen didn''t know that a group of old men were observing him so closely. Otherwise, he would have pointed how shameless they were for looking at his group of women.


    The short statured young men finally gave up resisting after seeing the condition of hispanions. There was a frightened look on his face as he replied each and every questions of Zhan Chen.


    "So, you are telling me that someone from the inner court is responsible for this?", Zhan Chen looked towards the short statured young man.


    "Yes, yes, instructiones from the inner court. Otherwise, why should I bother senior brother like this?", the short statured young man replied with a crying look on his face.


    "Well then, you are dismissed. You need to wake yourpanions before leaving this ce", Zhan Chen spoke with an uninterested look on his face.


    "Thud!", the short statured young man felt heavily on his knees.


    "Thank you senior brother, thank you for your generosity", he continued to protrest untill Zhan Chen''s group went away from his sight.


    After crossing past the gate, there was a long road infront of Zhan Chen''s group. The road seemed endless as it stretched towards the top of a mountain.


    "How many peaks this Xuantian sect has upied?", Zhan Chen thought to himself while looking at the distant peaks. His curiousity further grew as he felt some powerful aurasing from the top of a distant peak.


    "Wee everyone. Wee to our Xuantian sect", he stopped his trail of thoughts after hearing a voice. He looked forward and found a group of cultivators waiting for his group. The steep road finally stopped stretching after reaching the top. There was a small t surface on the top of the mountain. From it''s appearance, Zhan Chen could tell that it was a structure carved out by an expert after slicing the mountain.


    "Greetings seniors", Zhan Chen greeted the group of experts waiting for them. Zhan Qingyue, Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min, Zi Ningxi and Zi Nuan followed suit as they bowed their heads towards the experts present.


    "Everyone, wee once again. I am Nu Hao. I am responsible for administering the test which will determine your talent as well as your initial rank in the sect''s set up", the lead expert spoke.


    "Who want to give the test first?", he looked at the group of Zhan Chen.


    "I am", Li Yan was the first to volunteer. She took a look at Zhan Chen before walking towards the middle.<novelnext></novelnext>


    There was a raised tform at the middle of the mountain top. Zhan Chen ''s eyes lit up after he observed the formation incorporated with the raised tform. ''An ancient formation! It can clearly gauge the talent of a cultivator'', he thought to himself.


    "Girl, introduce yourself", Nu Hao spoke.


    I am Li Yan. From the provincial capital of the Clear Sky province, Western region", Li Yan replied.


    Nu Hao told her to go ahead and Li Yan climbed the stairs to the raised tform. The tform lit up immediately as soon as she stepped inside the raised tform.


    To everyone ''s surprise, an illusory gate appeared infront of Li Yan. She hesitated for a moment before walking towards the illusory gate with a determined expression.


    A stone pir at the corner of the raised tform lit up as soon as Li Yan stepped her foot inside the illusory gate. Letters started to appear out of nowhere and the details was enough to surprise Zhan Chen''s women for a while.


    Skeletal age- Eighteen


    Race- Human


    Gender- Female


    Spiritual affinity- Yellow


    Elemental affinity- None


    Spiritual root- Human grade


    There was confusion on the faces of Zhan Chen''s women after they read the writings on the stone pir. There was a nonchnt look on Nu Hao ''s face and Li Shu became worried about the cultivation potential of her sister.


    ? "Young master, how my sis is doing?", she looked towards Zhan Chen. No need to worry. She may not have the best of the potential but the existence of Spiritual root ensured that she can make progress in the cultivation path", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Little Chen, what is this spiritual root? Do I have one also?", Zhan Qingyue joined from the side with a curious look on her face.


    "And please tell us about this Spiritual affinity also. What is the meaning of spiritual affinity- Yellow?", Zi Nuan demanded.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the reticent princess being vocal. "Wait a minute everyone. I think you have yet to see the true wonder of this ancient test", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "The test is not yet done?", Zi Nuan felt surprised for a moment and looked towards the raised tform. As if to answer her question, a sudden movement came from the raised tform.


    Five faint silhottes appeared in the middle of tform. Their appeance couldn''t be discerned clearly yet there was a certain majesty about them.


    "Who are they?", Zhan Chen thought to himself but he got his answer as soon as the question appeared inside his mind.


    "Everyone, pay respect to the forefathers. Their appearance are always a blessing for us cultivators from the Xuantian sect", Nu Hao spoke solemnly. He was the first to kneel down and others followed after him. Zhan Chen felt intrigued and looked at the five silhouttes while kneeling with others.

 Chapter 306 A Grueling Test

    "Forefathers!", Zhan Chen eximed to himself while kneeling with others. He tried to take a good look at the five silhouttes but before he could do that, he felt an obstructioning from the ancient formation.


    "I have to be careful. These ancient sects are more formidable than what I have imagined", he thought to himself.


    "Disciple Li Yan, go forward. The closer you go towards the forefathers, the better your evaluation will be", Nu Hao spoke.


    Li Yan nodded her head and took a look at the forefathers of the Xuantian sect. She turned her head to have a nce at Zhan Chen before walking towards the indistinct silhouttes of the five forefathers.


    Zhan Chen gave her an encouraging smile and watched her steps as she walked towards the five silhouttes. ''This test will be a difficult one for her'', he thought to himself while watching the steps of Li Yan.


    Li Yan came to a grinding halt as Zhan Chen had predicted. There was a look of difort on her face as she faced the five silhouttes.


    She wanted to go forward but the auraing from the five silhouttes wanted her to kneel once again. It was a kind of suppression force which was affecting her mind and soul.


    Li Yan resisted the force and took a step towards the five silhouttes with a determined look on her face. The agony she was facing got incresed by manifold but she still walked forward despite being pressured. Beads of sweat came down from her forehead but she still didn''t give up. Her feet continued to move despite the mountainous force she was feeling.


    "What a tenacious girl!", Nu Hao thought to himself as a look of admiration appeared on his face. The other experts also had a look of admiration on their faces as they looked at Li Yan. It had been only few minutes yet Li Yan was struggling this much. This went to exin to the other girls, how difficult the test of the Xuantian sect was!


    Li Yan finally stopped after taking few more steps. Her body started to sway as she finally knelt down infront of the torrential pressure. The pressure vanished as soon as her knees touched the ground. Her eyelids became heavy as she fainted right away after the pressure vanished.


    A female cultivator of the Xuantian sect came and removed Li Yan from the raised tform. Nu Hai looked towards Zhan Chen''s group after Li Yan ''s test was over.


    "Senior, what happened to her? Is she going to be okay?", Li Shu asked with a worried look on her face.


    "Don''t worry, She will be fine after sleeping for a while. It is already incredible that she resisted the pressure this long with such a low cultivation base", Nu Hao spoke.


    "Senior, how is her result? Can she be considered a disciple of the Xuantian sect now!", Zhan Chen asked after Nu Hao talked with Li Shu.


    "Of course. With her performance, she is more than eligible to be an outer court disciple of our Xuantian sect.


    Although, it is a pity she couldn''tst for few more minutes. Otherwise, she would have straight away be an inner court disciple of our Xuantian sect", Nu Hao replied.


    "Who is going to be next?", he looked at Zhan Chen''s group.


    "I am", this time Zi Ningxi volunteered to take the test. Nu Hao gave permission and she climbed the stairs to reach the raised tform.


    "Girl, introduce yourself before taking the test. Everyone, don''t forget to introduce yourselves before leaving for the test ", Nu Hao reminded with mild irritation on his face.


    "Senior, please forgive me. I am Zi Nigxi. From Clear Sky province, western region", Zi Ningxi spoke. Nu Hao instructed her to proceed and she walked towards the illusory gate at the entrance of the raised tform.


    Letters started to appear on the stone pir after Zi Nigxi entered through the illusory gate.


    Age- Seventeen


    Race- Human


    Gender- Female


    Spiritual Affinity - Blue<novelnext></novelnext>


    Elemental Affinity - Wood


    Spiritual Root- Human grade


    "Wood element!", Nu Hao felt surprised for a moment. ''She is probably the girl elder Chao was talking about'', he thought to himself and looked towards the raised tform.


    "Zi girl, your status is confirmed now. You can skip the test if you want to. I am sure, the experts from the Serene wood peak wille to take you soon", Nu Hao spoke.


    ''Should I give the test of should I not?'', Zi Ningxi thought to herself for a moment. She finally decided to proceed with the test despite seeing the difficulty that Li Yan had faced.


    Nu Hao''s face twitched for a moment as he saw Zi Ningxi walking towards the five silhouttes. ''If something happens to her, I am done for'', he thought to himself with a look of helplessness on his face.


    Zi Ningxi faced the same pressure that Li Yan had endured earlier. But unlike Li Yan, she was not in a hurry to walk towards the five silhouttes.


    She took a slow step after enduring the pressure for a while. Beads of sweat poured out from her forehead but she still stood still on his spot.


    She took a step once again and the pressure she was facing became multiplied. She endured the pressure for a while before taking another step.


    "Good, this is how you should approach this pressure. Not like Li Yan who choose to be stubborn and didn''t apply her mind", Zhan Chen slowly spoke. Nu Hao nodded his head after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "He really has good awareness at his age", he thought to himself.


    Zi Ningxi chose to withdraw when she couldn''t endure the pressure anymore. Compared to Li Yan, she had taken one less step but each of her steps were steady and she didn''t faint when she left the raised tform.


    "You will be an outer court disciple for now but your status will be upgraded when you break through to the Core condensation realm", Nu Hao spoke. Zi Ningxi thanked him and returned to her spot.


    "Who want to go next?", Nu Hao looked towards the remaining mbets in Zhan Chen''s group.


    "Senior, I want to give a try", Kai Min volunteered herself with an eager expression on her face. Nu Hao nodded his head and Kai Min introduced herself before walking towards the raised tform.


    Age - Eighteen


    Race - Human


    Gender - Female


    Spiritual Affinity - Blue


    Elemental Affinity - None


    Spiritual Root- Earth grade


    Letters appeared on the stone pir after Kai Min stepped inside the illusory gate. There was nothing umon on her top five assessments but thest assessment pulled everyone''s attention towards her.


    "An earth grade spiritual root?", Nu Hao murmured with a surprised expression on his face. Other experts from the Xuantian sect also looked towards Kai Min with incredulous expressions on their faces.


    ''It is only normal. She has a blessed body. So, it is obvious that she is more receptive to spiritual enenergy than others'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 307 The Enigma Surrounding Zhan Qingyue

    "The talent of these girls are not poor but they can''t be considered extraordinary either. You can take the girl who is currently giving the test as an example", an emperor spoke while watching the performance of Zhan Chen''s group on the transparent sphere.


    "You are correct. The girl currently giving the test has enough talent. She has good spiritual affinity and an earth grade spiritual root but her ordinary cultivation means she can''t be promoted to the inner court", another emperor chimed in.


    "Everyone, please focus on the matter at hand. We have gathered here only because of Zhan Chen. You all know how costly it is to start the sect inheritance formation. But the ancestoral peak still allowed it keeping the talent of Zhan Chen in mind", an stern looking expert added.


    "Yes, we should be happy that we get few more disciples along with Zhan Chen. We shouldn''t judge their test result because they are being tested in the Sect inheritance formation which can be actived only when we choose our core disciples", another emperor spoke.


    The emperor who was floating at a greater height than other emperors yet toment anything. But his expression suddenly changed just after the test of Kai Min was over.


    "Ancestor, what is wrong?", the emperors gathered beneath him looked at the peak expert worriedly.


    "There is amunication from the ancestoral peak. We have to stop the girl from Zhan n before she go to face the silhouttes of the forefathers", the peak expert replied.


    ----------------


    "Girl, your talent is good but you need to be more diligent in your cultivation. For now, you will be admitted as an an outer court disciple of our Xuantian sect", Nu Hao spoke after Kai Min left the raised tform.


    "Thank you senior. I will cultivate diligently from now on", Kai Min bowed towards Nu Hao. Nu Hao nodded his head and looked towards the other members of Zhan Chen''s group.


    "Little Chen, let me go first. I want to see what kind of spiritual root I have", Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "Big sis, be careful. Don''t push yourself", Zhan Chen spoke with a little frown on his face.


    "I hope the seal in her soul do not react to the test", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Zhan Qingyue introduced herself and walked towards the raised tform. Nu Hao was looking after her steps when a suffocating soul consciousness approached him.


    "An emperor!", Zhan Chen immediately knew that an emperor was talking with Nu Hao. He felt curious about their discussion but restrained his impulse so as not to trouble himself.


    The suffocating aura receded as soon as it arrived. The experts of the Xuantian sect looked towards Nu Hao with a curious look on their faces. They wanted to know the reason for which an emperor take the trouble to talk with Nu Hao.


    "Zhan Qingyue, there is an instruction for you", Nu Hao spoke loudly ignoring gazes of his sect members.


    Zhan Qingyue was just sort of entering the illusory gate. A confused look appeared on her face as she stopped to listen what Nu Hao wanted to say.


    "Zhan Qingyue, you only need to enter the illusory gate. You are not required to approach the silhouettes of the forefathers. So, I want you to leave the tform after your test result appear on the stone pir", Nu Hao spoke.


    Zhan Qingyue nodded her head although she was little confused. She proceeded to enter the illusory gate after listening to the words of Nu Hao.


    Age- Twenty


    Race- Human


    Gender- Female


    Spiritual affinity- Purple


    Elemental affinity- ? unknown


    Spiritual Root- Earth grade


    "Someone had intervened on behalf of big sis. But who is it and what does he want? Is someone other than me aware about big sis''s seal on her soul", Zhan Chen thought to himself while everyone was looking at the stone pir with awestruck look in their eyes.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You have a purple grade spiritual affinity. So, why is your cultivation so marginal inparison?", Nu Hao asked with a baffled look on his face.


    Zhan Qingyue did not know what to say at this moment. She was herself confused after seeing her incredible result. She turned to look at Zhan Chen for help at such a confusing moment.


    "Senior, she has some hidden reasons which she can''t share with others. So, please forgive my big sister.


    I would like to have your permission before attending the test", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, you can go ahead", Nu Hao nodded his head. ''The entire test is actually for you only'', he thought inside his mind.


    Zhan Chen ced his hand on Zhan Qingyue''s shoulder to calm her down. "Big sis, we will talkter. I will exin you everything once the right time arrives", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Qingyue nodded her head and tried to calm herself down. She didn''t want Zhan Chen to worry for her when he was facing the test of the Xuantian sect.


    "Wait a moment", suddenly a melodious voice interrupted the proceedings on the testing ground. Zhan Chen stopped on his way to look at the neer.


    There were five beauties who were floating above the testing ground. They flew downward after everyone''s eyes went towards them.


    "Greetings senior", all the five beauties bowed toward Nu Hao. They knelt down to kowtow towards the five forefathers before looking towards Zhan Chen.


    "So, you are the one for whom sect has gone out of way and opened up the Sect inheritance formation", a girl spoke out. There was a haughty expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Sister Ming, you are being rude. He may join us as a junior brother if he performs well in the test", another beauty spoke. He threw an apologetic look towards Zhan Chen and red at herpanion.


    "Five sword fairies! Why are you all here?", Nu Hao asked with a surprised look on his face.


    "Uncle Hao! Not only us, other peaks have also heard about the test and they must be rushing towards this direction", a childish looking girl among the five beauties spoke.


    Zhan Chen''s mouth twitched as he saw another group of girl flying towards the testing ground. "This time it is those spiled brats from the Serene wood peak", Nu Hao mumbled. Zhan Chen ''s curiosity rose as he saw three fairies descending towards the ground.


    "We are here to pick out junior sister", the lead girl among them announced as she threw a look towards Zi Ningxi. All of them knelt towards the five forefathers before bowing infront of Nu Hao.


    The testing ground started to be crowded all of a sudden and Nu Hao felt a headacheing to his mind. He looked towards Zhan Chen who was standing leisurely on his ce and observing the neers.


    "Zhan Chen, what are you waiting for?", he red at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen gave Nu Hao an apologetic look and walked towards the raised tform.


    Age- eighteen


    Race- Human


    Gender- Male


    Spiritual affinity - Golden


    Elemental affinity- Mixed


    Spiritual root- ? Unknown


    Words started to appear on the stone pir after Zhan Chen passed through the illusory gate. There was a sudden silence observed on the testing ground after everyone looked at the words on the stone pir.


    There was disbelief and amazement in everyone''s eyes as they looked towards Zhan Chen. "This is what they called a true prodigee", Nu Hao murmured to himself while looking at the words of the stone pir with amazement in his eyes.

 Chapter 308 Familiar Aura

    "A spiritual affinity of golden grade! Such heaven blessed cultivators actually exists!", the lead girl among the five sword fairies murmured to herself. There was amazement and curiousity both in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    The fairies from the Serene wood peak were equally surprised as they observed Zhan Chen with amazement in their eyes. Their curiousity increased as they watched Zhan Chen walking towards the five silhouttes of the forefathers.


    "No matter how much is the talent, this is the true test. If he can even walk halfway of this path then I will admit that he is superior to me despite his age", the haughty looking girl among the five sword fairies spoke.


    Her otherpanions didn''tment as they followed each step of Zhan Chen with baited breath. The same could be said for the Xuantian sect elders who were waiting for Zhan Chen''s performance eagerly.


    Zhan Chen raised his head and took a good look at the five silhouttes before advancing. He took a step forward leisurely as a heavy pressure fell upon him with his step.


    ''Suppression on mind and soul!'', Zhan Chen thought to himself inside his mind before taking forward another step. The pressure falling upon him multiplied as soon as he moved forward another step.


    "A decent amount of pressure. But unfortunately such pressure wouldn''t work on my mind and soul", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He appeared unbothered as he moved forward few more steps. Collective gasps came from the surrounding as everyone saw him approaching the halfway mark.


    "Impossible. How is he doing this?", Nu Hao thought to himself as he looked towards Zhan Chen with a look of disbelief on his face. His eyes widen up when he saw Zhan Chen touching the halfway mark.


    "Is it a dream! How can an eighteen year young man pull this up!", Nu Hao turned to self denial after seeing Zhan Chen standing on the halfway mark.


    His shock and confusion was natural as no one below Heavenly tribtion realm had ever touched the halfway mark in the path to the silhouettes of five forefathers.


    Zhan Chen stopped for a moment after reaching the halfway mark. "Something has changed suddenly", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and looked towards the silhouettes of five forefathers.


    ''Shall I go forward or not?'', he pondered to himself because he was aware that he had already done enough. The pressure wasalready at an unimaginable level and even a peak Martial ascension realm cultivator couldn''t tolerate the pressure that wasing from the silhouttes of five forefathers.


    In such a condition, Zhan Chen found it wise to step back at this moment. He didn''t want to attract any more eyeballs that could turned detrimental for himself.


    He was just turning to leave when he felt a certain auraing from his body. He felt confused for a moment but his confusion turned into exhration after he realised what the familiar aura actually was!


    "Celestial night!", he murmured to himself with surprise and joy on his face. Celestial night was the divine grade treasure which he had picked up from his family ''s armoury. The sword had many peculiarity surrounding it. So, he had choose the sword to apany him while leaving the Zhan family.


    After his persistent tries, he had managed to establish a connection with his sword. It happened when he had just crossed the Shredded mountain region and was in the Hundred blossom city of the Earth province.<novelnext></novelnext>


    After the connection was established, the sword had changed in a profound way. It managed to awake the sword spirit and he was very much interested to interact with it. But to his utter dismay, the sword had vanished just after he established a connection with it. He had searched for it during the Grand sectpetition but he couldn''t find it no matter how much he tried.


    The sword ''Celestial night'' was finally giving a reaction just when he was about to leave the test. It appeared like the sword was nudging him to go ahead with the test.


    "Any trouble worth it as long I manage to satisfy my sword. Otherwise, It will be too much trouble if it tries to hide itself again", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He stopped his backtracking movement and stepped forward with a steady posture. There was curiousity as well as determination on his face as he faced the silhouettes of the five forefathers.


    There was a different pressureing from the silhouettes along with the mind and soul Suppression. Zhan Chen could feel the pressure after he touched the half way mark along the path to the five forefathers.


    "What is this pressure! One need have some understanding about a heavenlyw to counter it'', Zhan Chen thought to himself with a curious look on his face. He didn''t hesitate anymore and decided to expose one of his secrets infront of the crowd.


    His aura changed all of a sudden and he seemed more like an upright sword rather than a leisurely cultivator. The sword within his body hummed a little after Zhan Chen embraced true nature of his self.


    The new pressure loosened up after the sword aura came out of Zhan Chen''s body. Zhan Chen stepped forward unhindered for few steps before the pressureing from the five silhouttes make his stop on his path once again.


    "Who has designed this test? One need to expose his proficiency in heavenlyws if he or she want to approach the silhouettes of the five forefathers", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He didn''t stop for long as his aura took another turn. The crowd was already speechless from a while back. Their entire attentions were on Zhan Chen as they witnessed the miracle infront of him.


    "Sword intent!", the leader of the sword fairies murmured after Zhan Chen''s aura changed for the second time. There was clear disbelief on her face as she saw Zhan Chen who was standing like an upright sword.


    The swords of onlookers started to buzz as if they were cheering for Zhan Chen. Even the sword of the five sword fairies started to buzz after Zhan Chen exposed his sword intent.


    "Unbelievable! I admit that I am inferior to him", the haughty looking girl among the sword fairiesmented. There was a deted look on her face as she saw the miracle named Zhan Chen with amazement in her eyes.


    Zhan Chen didn''t face any more obstacles after he exposed his sword intent. His path was smooth as he walked towards the silhouettes of five forefathers with an even pace.


    The pressure didn''t heighten further after Zhan Chen exposed his sword intent. Celestial night also stopped giving responses after he reached end of the path and stood infront of the five silhouttes of the forefathers of the Xuantian sect.


    "That special pressure seems to rile up Celestial night. Now that the pressure is nonexistent, it has stopped reacting", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 309 A Collective Decision

    "Zhan Chen kneel. Pay your respect to the forefathers and your test will be over", Nu Hao dered.


    Standing at such a close distance, Zhan Chen could see the silhouettes of five forefathers in great details. Like previous time, he didn''t feel any obstruction while observing the silhouettes of five forefathers of the Xuantian sect.


    The middle one among them was a calm looking man. His eyes seemed to hold great wishdom as he faced towards the distance. Right to him, stood a man who appeared to have a fiery personality. Next to him stood a hulking man who seemed to have a stubborn personality.


    At the left to the calm looking man, stood a beauty with an otherworldly aura around her. Her appearance was so pure that even the mostscivious man would think nothing of her.


    Next to her stood a tall looking man who had bulging muscles. He was only wearing an armour and looking at the distance with a challenging look on his face.


    "All of them most be great cultivators at their time", Zhan Chen thought to himself after taking a look at them. He knelt before them and paid his respect to the forefathers of the Xuantian sect.


    No one present minded the slight dy in Zhan Chen''s part as all of them were in awe with his performance. Nu Hao wanted to speak something but his expression changed as he felt the changes in the air.


    An old man had appeared before the raised tform without alerting anyone. He had an amiable look on his face as he observed the onlookers surrounding the raised tform.


    "Ancestor Duyi!", Nu Hao called out with a surprised look on his face. He immediately knelt after realising the identity of the amiable looking old man.


    "Everyone kneel, pay respect to ancestor Duyi", Nu Hao called out. The other experts of the Xuantian sect gulped a little after hearing the words of Nu Hao. They knelt immediately although they were uncertain about the identity of the amiable looking old man.


    "Everyone rise. There is no need to kneel infront of an old man like me", the old man in the air spoke. He finally shifted his focus towards the raised tform from where Zhan Chen was walking out at this moment.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed towards the old man after leaving the raised tform. There was apprehension in his heart while looking towards the amiable looking old man. ''What is a sage doing here?'', he thought to himself while appearing calm infront of the amiable looking old man.


    "Little friend, you are incredible. I couldn''t hold my curiousity after watching the test for a while", the amiable looking old man spoke.


    "If you don''t mind, can you disy your sword intent once again?", he looked towards Zhan Chen with little anticipation in his eyes.


    Zhan Chen felt confused by the enthusiasm of the sage realm expert. He still nodded his head and disyed his sword intent.


    With a thought of his mind, his aura started to transform. His leisurely demeanor vanished as he seemed like a sharp sword. He took a look at the amiable looking old man and used his sword intent against him.


    The sage realm expert felt surprised for a moment but he quickly regained hisposure. With a thought of his mind, a heavy pressure descended towards Zhan Chen.


    "Heavenlyw of earth!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and retracted his sword intent. The amiable looking old man also withdrew his pressure and looked towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous look on his face.


    "Little friend, you are more than capable. I have no proficiency in the sword. Otherwise, I would have immediately take you as a disciple", the old man spoke.


    "Now let''s leave the matter of personal disciple for another time. That can only be decided after elder brother Bo leaves his seclusion.<novelnext></novelnext>


    For now, you can cultivate in the Sword peak. I will instruct them to vacate a hill near the sword peak. You can cultivate there as you like and use your privileges as a core disciple of our Xuantian sect", the old man further added. He took out fewmunication tailsmans and handed them to Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, thank you", Zhan Chen bowed politely but by the time he raised his head, the old man was already gone.


    -----------------


    "What do all of you think?", the lead expert among the group of emperors asked. There was a look of appreciation and pride on his face as he looked towards the figure of Zhan Chen in the transparent sphere.


    "There is no point in giving our opinions anymore. Elder Duyi from the ancestoral peak has spoken. So, we will do as he says", a bald old man among the emperors replied.


    "Yes, send a message to Nu Hao. Tell him to announce Zhan Chen as the new core disciple of the Xuantian sect.


    He is going to be assigned to the sword peak but he is wee to visit other peaks as he wants", another emperor chimed in. There was visible excitement on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Then, it is decided. Zhan Chen is the new entrant among the core disciples of our Xuantian sect", the lead expert among the emperors spoke. Other emperors nodded their heads and a smile appeared on the face of the lead expert.


    A powerful soul consciousness approached Nu Hao after the discussion among the emperors concluded. A surprised look appeared on Nu Hao''s face after he was informed about the decision of the emperors.


    The overpowering soul consciousness left as soon as it arrived. Nu Hao exhaled in releif after the powerful soul consciousness was gone.


    "Zhan Chen,a decision hase from above. You are to be conferred with the core disciple position of my Xuantian sect", Nu Hao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Core disciple! That will make things easy for me", Zhan Chen nodded his head. He had a nonchnt expression yet other spectators were looking at him with agape mouths.


    "Zhan Chen, do you know what are the privileges of a core disciple in our sect?", an expert of the Xuantian sect asked Zhan Chen.


    "I have no idea", Zhan Chen replied truthfully.


    "No wonder, you are so calm!", the expert muttered in understanding.


    "Sword fairies, are you aware about all the privileges of a core disciple?", the expert looked towards the five beauties from the sword peak.


    "Yes senior", all of them replied.


    "Then inform him about the details while travelling to the sword peak. I have some matters at hand.


    Otherwise, I would have apanied you all to the sword peak", the expert spoke.

 Chapter 310 Woman In Ancient Robe

    "Junior sister Ningxi", the beauties from the Serene wood peak walked towards Zi Ningxi after the test was done. Zi Ningxi greeted them politely yet there was an uncertain look on her face as she didn''t know the identities of the three beauties infront of her.


    "Junior sister, I am Mu Yingying from the Serene wood peak. All of us are inner court disciples of the Xuantian sect. We havee here on the order of our master to pick you up", one of the three beauties spoke. Other two beauties also introduced themselves and looked towards Zi Ningxi.


    "Senior sisters, can I have a moment? I want to say goodbye to my aunt and young master Chen before leaving with you", Zi Ningxi spoke. All the three beauties nodded their heads as they didn''t have any problem in waiting for a while.


    "Junior sister Ningxi, you have brought your aunt with you?", a beauty among the three asked with a curious expression on her face. "Yes, she is my aunt Nuan, the only sister of my royal father", Zi Ningxi replied.


    "Royal father! Junior sister Ningxi, you are a princess?", another beauty asked with surprised expression on her eyes. All of them suddenly got more curious about Zi Ningxi.


    Zi Ningxi introduced Zi Nuan to them and spoke briefly about the Red cloud kingdom. All the three beauties came to a decision among themselves and looked towards Zi Nuan. "Aunt Nuan, you cane with us. All inner court disciples are entitled to bring person close to them. So, you cane and stay with junior sister Ningxi", the three beauties spoke.


    A look of expectation flickered in Zi Ningxi''s eyes after she heard the words of her senior sisters. She looked towards Zi Nuan with a hopeful look on her face.


    Zi Nuan smiled after seeing her niece like this. She also didn''t want to be separated from her niece who was close to her since her birth. ''I was talking about leaving only because I don''t want to trouble Zhan Chen. If I can stay with Ningxi then I can rethink my decision'', she thought to herself.


    "We need to first talk with the elders of the Serene wood peak. If they do not have any problem with my staying then I will cultivate in the Serene wood peak", Zi Nuan spoke.


    Both aunt and niece bade farewell to Zhan Chen aftering to a decision. Zhan Chen looked towards the other girls after Zi Ningxi and Zi Nuan left.


    -------------------


    The emperors who had gathered for the test of Zhan Chen were talking among themselves when another powerful aura approached them from the distance. A hint of gentleness appeared in the eyes of the leading emperor after he sensed the powerful aura approaching them.


    The powerful aura approached the group of emperors with a breathtaking speed and within few moments, the powerful aura materialized into a beautiful woman.


    The woman had an attractive face and wless skin but what would catch the attention of the onlookers was the robe she was wearing.


    The robe was an ancient one with a five leaf symbol inscribed on it. The robe was torn in few ces but the beautiful woman was still wearing it as if it was a treasure, she couldn''t do away with.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Wu Li, why are you here? Are not you nning to stay in the seclusion for few more days?", the leading emperor asked to the beautiful woman.


    "Senior brother Deming, I am feeling disturbed in thest few days. I have tried to concentrate more than once but for some reason, I can''t enter into the state of deep cultivation no matter how much I have tried", the beautiful woman spoke.


    The other emperors greeted the beautiful woman after she finished her conversation with the leading emperor. The beautiful woman also greeted them back cordially and inquired about their well being.


    "Elder brother Deming, we are taking our leave then. Junior sister Wu Li hase out of seclusion after few years. So, it is better to leave you two alone", the sole woman among the emperors spoke. The leading emperor nodded his head and all the emperors left the ce one by one.


    "Wu Li, it has been six years since youst left your seclusion. I want you to have a good break this time before you enter seclusion once again", the peak stage emperor spoke.


    "Senior brother, you know my reason. The sole reason I am still breathing is only for revenge. I appreciate your concern but I will go back to seclusion once again after talking with you", the beauty in the ancient robe spoke.


    "Wu Li, you always say the same thing whenever I push you for a break. But I am sure you will change your mind this time", the peak emperor spoke with a confident look on his face. The beauty in the ancient robe felt curious after seeing the confidence look on the peak emperor''s face.


    "Come with me", the peak emperor spoke and flew towards the distance. The beauty in the ancient robe hesitated for a moment before flying towards the direction of the peak emperor.


    "Why can''t I call you senior sisters?", Zhan Chen looked towards the five sword fairies with a curious look on his face. ording to him, it was only normal that he would call someone senior who has higher age than him.


    "It is not you who will call us senior sister. Rather, it is us who have to call you senior brother from now on", a beauty from the five sword fairies informed Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen found it funny after seeing the look of reluctance on sword fairies'' faces.


    ? "You don''t have to call me senior brother if you don''t like it. I am fine with junior brother or Zhan Chen whatever you like to call me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You don''t understand. Our sect has a strict hierarchey. An inner court disciple most show respect to a core disciple no matter how low the age of the core disciple is. It is the same for the outer court disciples as they have to show respect to us inner court disciples whenever they see us", the beauty from the five sword fairies informed. Zhan Chen could finally understand why they had such looks of unwillingness on their faces.


    He was nning to say something to divert the topic when his expression suddenly changed. The next moment an imposing aura came towards the testing ground. Another imposing aura followed after the first and the attention of onlookers went towards the sky.


    Two silhouettes appeared in the sky one after another. Zhan Chen felt surprised for a moment because he had met the leading expert during the grand sectpetition. He shifted his gaze to the second expert and his focus immediately went towards the ancient robe she was wearing. ''Robe of my Zhan family!'', he eximed to himself as a look of confusion appeared on his face.

 Chapter 311 Zhan Wu Li

    "Wu Li, ask these two to introduce themselves. I am sure after finding out their identities, you will change your mind", the peak stage emperor pointed towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    "Two juniors!", the beauty in the ancient robe felt confused for a moment. She spread her soul consciousness and observed Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    "It can''t be! A descendant of my n!", she murmured to herself under her breath. A look of disbelief appeared on her face as she looked towards both Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    "Greetings seniors", Zhan Chen bowed towards both peak stage emperor and the beauty in the ancient robe. The peak stage emperor was someone with whom he had already met. The person, he was more curious about was the beauty in the ancient robe.


    Zhan Qingyue and the others followed after him and bowed towards the two experts. The peak stage emperor acknowledged the greetings of everyone with a smile on his face but the one who didn''t respond was the beauty in the ancient robe.


    There was a nk look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Qingyue. Few momentster, her eyes misted up automatically and drops of tear stared to fell off from her pretty looking eyes.


    "Everyone, please give us a moment. Only Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue were to remain and others may wait us at the bottom of the hill", the peak stage emperor spoke.


    The elders of the Xuantian sect were quick to act as they took everyone out of the testing ground. The only people present on the testing ground were Zhan Chen, Zhan Qingyue, the peak stage emperor and the beauty in the ancient robe.


    The beauty managed to calm down after a while but she was still feeling emotional as myriads of emotion shed across her eyes. "Senior brother Deming, thank you very much. I have never thought I could see my nsmen again", the beauty in the ancient robe looked towards the peak stage emperor.


    "Junior sister Wu Li, calm down. We should first introduce ourselves", the peak stage emperor spoke. There was a tender expression bonvhis face as he looked towards the beauty in the ancient robe.


    The beauty in the ancient robe wiped her eyes and nodded her head. The peak stage emperor looked towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue after receiving the consent of the crying beauty.


    "Little friend, we have already met. Looking at the situation, I think it will be appropriate to introduce ourselves properly", the peak stage emperor looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "My name is Fu Deming. She is my junior sister, Zhan Wu Li. From her name, you can guess why she is so emotional about you two", the peak stage emperor spoke.


    "Little one, are you also from my Zhan n?", Zhan Wu Li looked towards Zhan Chen with a curious look on her face. She could faintly sense that he was from her n but she couldn''t say that whether her conjecture is true or not. It was because she couldn''t see through Zhan Chen even with her emperor realm soul consciousness.


    "Yes senior, my name is Zhan Chen", Zhan Chen replied respectfully. Zhan Wu Li nodded her head as an affectionate look appeared on her eyes.


    "Little ones, it is slightly selfish from me but can you give me a drop of blood of yours? I want to confirm myself whether I am dreaming or not", Zhan Wu Li looked towards both Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    She was the one to prickle her finger first as a drop blood came out from her finger tip. Zhan Chen could guess what she was nning to prove. So, he had no qualm in giving her a drop of blood. He punctured his finger tip and collected the drop of blood with his palm. Zhan Qingyue also did the same and collected her blood with the help of her palm.<novelnext></novelnext>


    A look of yearning appeared on Zhan Wu Li ''s eyes as she collected the blood from both Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue ''s palms. She waved her palm and the blood of Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue automatically flew into air. With a thought of her mind, her blood also moved upward and zoomed towards the blood of both Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue ''s.


    A magical scene happened after all three blood drops got together. There was a strange connection between them as illusory strands of blood came out and joined together.


    A smile appeared on Zhan Wu Li''s face after she saw the affinity of blood with each other. "It is confirmed. My Zhan n still has descendants", she announced as her eyes misted up once again.


    She was quick to control her emotion and looked towards both Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue. "Little ones, it is good that both of you have joined the Xuantian sect. You don''t have to worry about anything as I will take care of all your needs", Zhan Wu Li spoke.


    "Thank you ancestor. Allow us to pay respect to you as members of the Zhan family", Zhan Chen spoke and knelt down. Zhan Qingyue also followed after him and knelt infront of Zhan Wu Li.


    "Little ones, stop", Zhan Wu Li stopped them from bowing. She had a satisfied look on her face as she looked towards both of her n descendants.


    "Tell me more about our Zhan n. Tell me how many have survived besides you two and how they managed to evade the war", Zhan Wu Li looked towards both Zhan Chen and Zhan Qingyue.


    "Senior, we don''t have much knowledge about our past. We only have a small family left in the wester region of the Northern desert continent", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Only a small family!", Zhan Wu Li eximed. A look of mncholy nshed past her eyes before she asked about their exact wheteabout.


    "Senior, our Zhan family is based in the Red cloud kingdom of the Clear sky province. We have a good reputation there. So, one can immediately locate the Zhan family after reaching the Red cloud kingdom", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Good, that is a good ce to hide yourself. Now that I havee to know about it, I will definitely look after its security", Zhan Wu Li spoke. There was determination on her face as she promised about Zhan family ''s security.


    "Senior, you don''t have to worry about it''s security. An ancestor has shown up recently and he is guarding the territory of Zhan family since then", Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "An ancestor! Who is he? Is someone managed to survive that apocalyptic war? Or is it someone from theter generation?", Zhan Wu Li inquired.


    "Wu Li, I have forgot to mention it. Apparently, the ancestor they are talking about is elder brother Zhan Lin. I have heard that he has managed to survive and returned to the Zhan family", Fu Deming spoke.


    "Elder brother Zhan Lin! He has managed to survive?", Zhan Wu Li stood stunned for a moment. Her eyes misted up once again as she looked towards Fu Deming for learning the details.


    "I don''t know much. I have only heard the news that Zhan n is making ae back. The reason for such an assumption is theeback of elder brother Zhan Lin", Fu Deming replied.

 Chapter 312 Finding A Dwelling Place For Himself

    "You are already a core disciple. So, I don''t have to worry about you. I am taking this girl with me. So that, I can look after her and find a solution for her problem", Zhan Wu Li spoke.


    "Qingyue, will you stay with me?", she looked towards Zhan Qingyue for hearing her opinion. "Senior, thank you. I will consider myself fortunate if I can receive guidance from you", Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, keep it with you. It is my personal token. You can show it in the sect''s treasury whenever you need cultivation material", Zhan Wu Li spoke and threw a golden token towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little friend, I am thinking about giving you a token. But seems like, it is not necessary anymore. You can have thesemunication tailsman instead. You can inform me directly, if you face any problem", Fu Deming spoke.


    Zhan Wu Li bade farewell after handing the golden token to Zhan Chen. Zhan Qingyue and Fu Deming left with her as Zhan Chen was only one who remained on the testing ground.


    "It is good to know that my family still has another ancestor. The more of them show up, the more I will be assured about the safety of my Zhan family", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "The only matter I have to focus now is my cultivation. I have joined the Xuantian sect to improve my cultivation in the first ce", Zhan Chen further contemted.


    "Junior brother Chen", one of the five sword fairies called out after seeing Zhan Chen descending from the hill. Zhan Chen smiled and walked towards the sword fairies who were standing along with Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    "Zhan Chen, has the seniors left?", one of the elders from the Xuantian sect asked Zhan Chen. "Yes, they have already left", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Those seniors have exalted status in our sect. Zhan Chen, you are extremely fortunate that you have some connection with them", Nu Hao spoke.


    "Then again you are a core disciple. With your status, no sane cultivator will try to find trouble with you", Nu Hao added.


    --------------------


    "Junior brother, I am Xia Mei"


    "Junior brother, I am Ru Hui"


    "I am Su Zhen"


    I am Nie Hua


    "I am Qiao Ting", the five sword fairies introduced themselves one by one. Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min also introduced themselves as they talked with five sword fairies on their way.


    "Junior brother, you should learn some basic privileges, the core disciple enjoy in our sect. If you want, I can exin them to you", the leader of the five sword fairies, Xia Mei offered to Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, please tell me. I want to learn as much as I can before we reach the sword peak", Zhan Chen replied.


    "You most have already learned, we have three types of disciples in our sect. They are Outer court disciples, inner court disciples and the core disciples.


    The inner court disciples have huge advantages over the outer court disciples and the same can be told for the core disciples as they have huge advantage over the inner court disciples.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Generally, there are factions among the disciples and most of the outer court disciples and inner court disciples are part of one faction or other. Core disciples generally do not take part in these factional struggles but everyone knows that most of the powerful factions has core disciples as their backers.


    In terms of resources and influence, these factions hold sway and even the sect elders are wary of these powerful factions. If you want stable resources then you most find a powerful faction to join. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find a firm foothold in the sect", Xia Mei spoke.


    ''Oh, there is such interesting internal matters. I wonder if I have to join a faction or not'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Junior brother if you want you can join our faction. Our faction is a small one but it is still considered powerful in the Xuantian sect. The only problem is that most of the members in our faction are females. So, your reputation may take a hit if you join us", Xia Mei spoke.


    "Most of the members are females! Looks like an interesting faction.


    I will consider joining after knowing the details", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Junior brother, you can take your time. Faction leader will be happy if shees to know that a core disciple wants to join us", Xia Mei spoke.


    "The other privileges the core disciples enjoy are their free ess to cultivation facilities. They are entitled to enter any cultivation facilities without paying any sect points. Although, there is a limitation but it is still the most coveted privilege that a core disciple enjoy.


    There is also other benefits. They can choose a mountain of their own and that can be considered the private property of the said disciple.


    The core disciples also enjoy privileges from the alchemy peak and cksmith peak. In short, they are the most privileged group of our Xuantian sect. Except the ancestoral peak, they can go anywhere in the Xuantian sect", Xia Mei informed.


    They kept talking with eachother and after walking for almost an hour, they finally stopped. There was a lofty peak appeared infront of them and Zhan Chen knew immediately that they had arrived infront of the sword peak.


    ''There is a sword intent here. Moreover, from this feeling I can tell that it is left behind by a formidable expert'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Junior brother, this is the sword peak where we sisters cultivate. You can take a look with us if you want", Xia Mei invited.


    "Senior sister, I will definitely visit the sword peak but before that I want to find a dwelling ce for myself. After that I will visit whenever I have time because the mountain I am going to pick will be a close one to the sword peak", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Hmm, that is a good idea. Please wait here for a while. I will inform my master and he will send someone to assist you in choosing a mountain", Xia Mei spoke. All the sword fairies bade farewell to Zhan Chen''s group and climbed the stairs to the sword peak. Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min after the sword fairies left.


    Girls, it is only four of us now. Moreover, Li Shu is going to leave soon. I will send away her personally to the Weapon refinement union after things settled here a little.


    "So, the only ones who will apany me are you two. I want to here whether you two want to stay with me or cultivate by your own", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan and Kai Min.


    "Young master, I will do as you say. My goal is already fulfilled after joining the Xuantian sect. So, it doesn''t matter which ever ce I get to cultivate. I just want to improve my cultivation and break through to the Core condensation realm", Kai Min spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked towards Li Yan.


    "Zhan Chen, if it is possible can I join the sword peak? I know I am not yet an inner court disciple. But for some reason, I feel that I will improve greatly if I cultivate in this peak", Li Yan spoke.


    "She can also feel the sword intent!", Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment because the sword intent in the sword peak waspletely hidden. No ordinary cultivator would feel it unless he or she had some attainment in the sword path.

 Chapter 313 Treasury Of The Xuantian Sect

    "As you wish. I will talk with senior sister Xia and find a way to aodate you in the sword peak. Till then you have to stay with us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Chen, Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min talked with eachother while waiting for the help Xia Mei had promised. They didn''t have to wait long as an expert descended from the sword peak.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed towards the tribtion realm expert after he walked towards them. Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min also paid their respects after seeing the tribtion realm expert.


    "Zhan Chen, you don''t have to be so formal. The status of us inner court elders do not differ much from the status of a core disciple. Moreover, you will stay near the sword peak. So, all of should get along with each other", the expert spoke with an amiable look on his face.


    "Of course, we will get along but as a junior, I most maintain basic etiquettes", Zhan Chen replied.


    The tribtion realm expert introduced himself after Zhan Chen spoke. His name was Duan Tao. He was sent by the peak master of of the sword peak.


    "Tell me, what kind of mountain you want. I will suggest one after hearing your requirements", Duan Tao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I don''t have much requirements. The only thing I want is a quite ce. It will be better if there is no disturbance around my ce", Zhan Chen spoke.


    It is easy to find a ce if you have so less requirements.


    "Follow me. I have a perfect location in my mind which is best suited for your current needs", Duan Tao spoke.


    He took Zhan Chen, Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min towards the eastern direction and stopped near a remote location.


    "This is the ce I am talking about", he pointed towards a small mountain which was infront of them. The mountain was filled with lush green vegetaion and there was small creek flowing underneath it. The air appeared to be fresh which seemed rejuvenating for all three girls.


    Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min ''s eyes lit up after they observed the surrounding of the remote location. The area was looking like a paradise which was hidden from people''s view.


    "There are interconnected caves inside the mountain. The mountain is unupied at this moment. So, you can take possession of it if you want", Duan Tao spoke.


    "Senior, thanks. This areapletely suits my taste.


    I don''t know how should I thank you for your help and kind intention", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "There is no need to say thanks. Who knows there may be a day when I will need your help", Duan Tao replied with a smile on his face.


    "Oh, another thing. Have you visited the Sect''s treasury?", Duan Tao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen shook his head in reply as he had not gone anywhere after leaving the testing ground. He directly came to the Sword peak after meeting Zhan Wu Li and Fu Deming.


    "I have thought so. You need to collect your personal token from the sect''s treasury", Duan Tao spoke.


    "I will help you to collect it if you want. Otherwise, you can go by yourself after settling down a little", Duan Tao spoke.


    "Senior, I will collect the token myself. I can''t trouble you any further after receiving so much help", Zhan Chen replied.


    ------------------


    "Wow, there are so many caves inside!", Li Shu eximed after going deeper into the mountain. There was only one entrance but it led to a wide hall which was connected to nine smaller caves.


    Zhan Chen also felt impressed by the workmanship of the cultivator who had carved such an intricate design. He inwardly thanked it''s original owner because such a design was clearly to his liking.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I will cultivate in this cave", Li Yan pointed towards a cave at the corner of the hall. She bade her farewell to Zhan Chen, Li Shu and Kai Min before entering inside the cave which she had choosen.


    "Cultivate, cultivate, cultivate! I don''t know why she is so anxious about increasing her cultivation. She can take her time but you two girls most apany me today.


    It is such a long journey. So, all three of us need to have a proper rxation", Zhan Chen spoke with a meaningful look on his face.


    Kai Min and Li Shu''s face reddened but their was clear anticipation in their eyes. Zhan Chen pulled them closer after seeing the charming expression on their faces.


    He shared kisses with both of the girls and started to size their bodies with his palms. The body temperature of both of the girls went up after they felt the palms of Zhan Chen around their bodies.


    "Kai Min, I want you to apany me as long as I am in this sect. I have thought out a n for you. But I dont know whether you will agree to my proposal or not", Zhan Chen spoke while massaging the peaks of Kai Min.


    "Young master, you are still being formal with me. How can I deny as long as you wish something", Kai Min replied. She had a loving look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Good. We will talk about thatter. For now, I need both of you to strip", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Kai Min and Li Shu looked at eachother before taking off their clothes. Zhan Chen''s little brother protested after his eyes fell upon their alluring bodies.


    He took out his own clothes and threw them to the side. There was a glint on his face as he looked towards both Kai Min and Li Shu.


    "Young master, shall we enter inside a room?", Kai Min asked. The look on Zhan Chen''s eyes seemed ominous to her as she gulped nervously thinking about the uing assault.


    "There is no need. It is my domain now. We can do whatever we want in this mountain", Zhan Chen replied.


    He threw a look at Li Shu who was sneaking nces towards his little brother. He chuckled devilishly and pulled Li Shu closer.


    Before Li Shu could understand, Zhan Chen turned her upside down. Her sacred cave was near his mouth as her mouth was touching the forehead of his little dragon.


    Kai Min stood stunned as Zhan Chen started to lick the littke sister of Li Shu. Li Shu also felt surprised at first but she quickly fit into Zhan Chen''s technique.


    Thus, quite a stimulus scene unfolded infront Kai Min ''s eyes. Both Li Shu and Zhan Chen were pleasuring eachother while Li Shu ''s body was still hanging in the air.


    Li Shu couldn''t tolerate the assault for longer as she released her sacred water. Zhan Chen was quick to gulp them and shifted his eyes towards Kai Min.


    He released Li Shu gently and picked Kai Min up. He turned her upside down and ced his tongue on her little sister. Kai Min took the raised spear inside her mouth and caressed it properly with her tongue.


    The tongue assault continued and she had to surrender after a while. Zhan Chen smacked his lips after gulping down the sacred water of Kai Min.


    "Girls, lean on the wall and show me your backs", Zhan Chen ordered. Both Li Shu and Kai Min nodded their heads and leaned against the stone wall of the cave.


    The curvy backs of Li Shu and Kai Min came into the view of Zhan Chen after both of them leaned against the cave wall. Zhan Chen admired the alluring scene for a moment before walking towards both of the girls.


    "Both of you are looking good", Zhan Chen spoke while tracing the curves of both Li Shu and Kai Min with his hands. An enjoying look appeared on both of their faces as Zhan Chen stimted their desire with his touch.


    "Young master, can we start? I can''t take it anymore", Li Shu turned to look at Zhan Chen with a begging look on her face. Kai Min also turned to look at Zhan Chen with an imploring look on her face.

 Chapter 314 Outrageous Act

    "Disgusting! Vulgar! Shameless!", a little beauty muttered to herself while looking at the scene unfolding infront of her eyes. Her cheeks werepletely reddened as she witnessed the sphemous act going on infront of her eyes.


    She was witnessing everything but strangely, no one could feel her presence in the surrounding. Even Zhan Chen was oblivious to her presence as he was busy in pounding Li Shu and Kai Min.


    Such trait of invisibility which could even avoid the peak sage realm soul consciousness of Zhan Chen could only be witnessed in one little girl. Her name was Long Xinyu, the little dragon who had descended from the immortal world.


    She was following Zhan Chen''s group since they left the Rosewood inn but none of the experts in their path was able to feel her presence. She was slightly apprehensive about the formations of the Xuantian sect but nothing ured while she followed Zhan Chen, Li Shu and Li Yan to this beautiful mountain cave.


    She was nning to reveal her presence but out of the blue, Zhan Chen started to do shameless acts with Li Shu and Kai Min. Clothes flew off and rest of the thing was a noble experience for the little dragon.


    She wanted to leave right away but her curiousity made her stay. Now, she could feel her body heating up automatically and something strange was building up in her heart as she witnessed the outrageous act infront of her.


    "Pah!", Zhan Chen gave a p on Li Shu''s buttocks while pounding her from the behind. An enjoying look appeared on Li Shu ''s face as she let out an ecstatic moan from her mouth.


    Zhan Chen started to increase his pace after seeing the positive response from Li Shu. He moved his waist rapidly while his dragon dug deeper inside Li Shu''s cave.


    "Young master, I aming~", Li Shu spoke after few minutes of assault. A look of euphoria appeared on her face as she let out her holy water from her sacred cave.


    "Kai Min, it is your tu Zhan Chen spoke and shifted his focus towards Kai Min. She was still leaning on the cave wall and showing her exquisite back to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen fondled her buttocks a little before cing his dragon at the entrance of her cave. Then with a single thrust, he prated her sacred cave.


    A tumultuous scene unfolded with the colliding of bodies and enchanting moans. Finally, Kai Min couldn''t hold back and let out her sacred water.


    "Young master Chen, please stop a moment. I think my body can''t take it if we go at this pace", Li Shu spoke charmingly. She was still feeling sensitive below her waist due to the previous assaults.


    "You are backing out?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu with a glint. Li Shu''s body heatened up automotically after seeing this devilish side of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master, I am ready", she spoke with a look of anticipation on her face.


    "Pah!", the reply she received in response to her words was a p on her buttocks. This time few more ps followed the first p and the buttocks of Li Shu becamepletely reddened as a result.


    Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on her entrance and the anticipation in the heart of Li Shu rose. But when Zhan Chen finally thrusted his dragon, a shocked expression appear on her face.


    "Young master, that ce!", she turned to look towards Zhan Chen but seeing the eager look on Zhan Chen''s face, she didn''t speak anything.


    "If you want, I will stop", Zhan Chen spoke while poking het forbidden zone with his dragon.


    "Young master, you can continue", Li Shu spoke and looked away shyly. Kai Min watched in disbeleif as the raging dragon of Zhan Chen forced its way through the closed entrance of Li Shu.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "It is the wrong....!", Kai Min muttered under her breath as her cheeks reddened. She was merely surprised but someone was more surprised than herself. It was only that the other onlooker was hiding. So, noone knew how much surprised the other onlooker was after seeing the outrageous act of Zhan Chen.


    "How can this be! First the ce of pee-pee and now?", Long Xinyu thought to herself with a stunned expression on her face. She didn''t realise but her little sister was drooling at this moment.


    "Ahhhh~"


    "Ahhhhhh~"


    "Mmmmm~", Li Shu started to moan as Zhan Chen pounded her backyard. Initially, she felt little pain but the pain subsided quickly and a different kind of sensation coarsed through her body.


    "Li Shu, let''s do it on the ground. It will be ufortable if we continue in a single posture", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, as you wish~", Li Shu replied charmingly andid on the ground. Zhan Chen made her sleep on her belly and started to pound her again.


    Li Shu couldn''tst longer under Zhan Chen''s assault. Zhan Chen let go of her and looked towards Kai Min.


    "Kai Min, can you use your mouth on it?", he pointed towards his dragon. Kai Min nodded her head and walked towards Zhan Chen. She threw a look at Li Shu who was lyingzily on the ground.


    "I will not try that unless young master insist", she thought to herself and knelt infront of Zhan Chen. She struck out her tongue and started to lick Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    An enjoying expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he enjoyed the care of Kai Min. His dragon started to throab violently as Kai Min took it inside her mouth.


    He started to move his waist slowly and Kai Minpletely cooperated. His dragon grew more violent, the more it received the care of Kai Min.


    "Kai Min, I am letting out my yang essence", Zhan Chen spoke and pulled the mouth of Kai min closer to his dragon. A jerking movement came and Zhan Chen deposited a good amount of yang essence inside Kai Min ''s throat.


    Kai Min gasped for breath after Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon. She looked towards Zhan Chen charmingly while licking her mouth.


    "It is time to call out the little thief", Zhan Chen murmured to himself with a a smile on his face. He looked around and stopped at a certain direction.


    "Long Xinyu,e out already. I know you are there watching secretly", Zhan Chen spoke. There was no immediate response after he spoke.


    "Young master, what is the matter?", Li Shu and Kai Min asked with baffled expression on their faces. They had seen Long Xinyu in the Rosewood inn but they didn''t know that she had followed them to the Xuantian sect.


    "Little girl, don''t treat my words as air. I know you are hiding here.


    Stop pretending or there will be consequences. I will not help you even if you beg for food", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 315 A Visit To The Treasury

    "Stingy", a voice came from the air as Long Xinyu showed herself. She had an aggrieved look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Big baddie, you are so shameless. You could have at least put some clothes before calling me out", Long Xinyu spoke.


    "Shameless! I am making love with my girls in my own abode. You are the one peeking at the intimate act between us. Now that, you are caught, you are telling me, I am shameless?", Zhan Chen started at Long Xinyu. He was still naked as he faced the little dragon girl.


    Long Xinyu didn''t know what to say after hearing the retort of Zhan Chen. A guilty expression appeared on her face as she lowered her head.


    Li Shu and Kai Min had already escaped to a nearby room after Long Xinyu appeared. Zhan Chen had no shame but they couldn''t act so shamelessly infront of a little girl like Long Xinyu.


    "I am sorry", Long Xinyu looked at Zhan Chen with puppy eyes. Zhan Chen couldn''t pretend to be angry after seeing the lovely expression of Long Xinyu.


    "Fine, I forgive you this time. Let me put on my clothes first before I talk to you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Now tell me, why are you peeking at us?", Zhan Chen looked at Long Xinyu after putting on his clothes.


    "It is because....", Long Xinyu couldn''t reply anything in defence as she stuttured. Her face reddened as she looked at Zhan Chen.


    "What a surprise! Even a curious little dragon can feel shy some time", Zhan Chen muttered with an amused expression on his face. He didn''t want to make Long Xinyu ufortable anymore. So, he changed the topic.


    "Tell me, what kind of food you need? If you want cultivation resources, then it will be hard for me to provide with my current position in the sect", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu.


    "Only food will do. I have no requirement for cultivation resources because the only thing I hate is cultivation", Long Xinyu replied.


    "Can I have a cave for myself?", she looked towards Zhan Chen before Zhan Chen could ask another question.


    "Of course, you can take which ever you want", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Thank you", Long Xinyu spoke before vanishing into the air. Zhan Chen shook his head with a smile after Long Xinyu had left.


    "If it is possible I do not want to involve her in these. But no one knows what future entails", he murmured to himself.


    -------------------


    Xu Zhen was a disciple from the Sword peak of the Xuantian sect. He was practicing his sword calmly when a young man appeared infront of him.


    "Hello senior brother. I am Zhan Chen. I would like to know your name before asking you a favour", the young man spoke with a polite manner.


    "Zhan Chen! Never heard of this name before. You better have a good reason for disturbing my cultivation", Xu Zhen spoke with a frown on his face.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Senior brother, I am leaving my abode for a while. Mypanions are still there cultivating inside. I want you to watch over them untill I return. I don''t want anyone to disturb them while I am absent", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Watching over your abode? Are you serious?", an angry expression appeared on Xu Zhen''s face after he heard the absurd reason of Zhan Chen. His anger waspletely justified because no one would talk to an inner court disciple like this.


    "I know, you will not agree to my proposal straight away. But I have, no other option. I couldn''t find any other Martial ascension realm disciple after leaving my abode", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You want a Martial ascension realm cultivator to guard your abode?", Xu Zhen looked towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous expression. There was visible anger on his face as he looked towards the unreasonable young man infront of him.


    A glint appeared in Zhan Chen''s eyes after he saw the angry disciple infront of him. He used the soul envement technique and the eyes of Xu Zhen became nk for a moment. The next moment, luster returned his eyes and there was an obedient expression on his face when he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Master", he wanted to bow but Zhan Chen stopped him. "No need to do anything unnecessary. Watch after them for a while and I will repay you for this favour", Zhan Chen spoke to Xu Zhen.


    He looked through the memory of Xu Zhen and found out about the location of the Xuantian sect''s treasury. He sent Xu Zhen towards his abode and walked towards the central valley where the sect''s treasury was located.


    There were many mountains and valleys located in the vast Blue qilin mountain range. Zhan Chen had to walk quite a distance before he could reach the central valley where the treasury of the Xuantian sect was located.


    Unlike other mountains, the central valley was bustling with cultivators. Cultivators were going in and out from the central valley while talking with eachother.


    "Do you know? The sect has selected a new core disciple today", a cultivator spoke.


    "Yes, I have heard about it. My seniors from the Earth fire peak are talking about it", another cultivator added.


    There were many groups of cultivators going in and out. Most of the cultivators were talking about the new core disciple who had just been inducted into the Xuantian sect.


    Zhan Chen heard many voices around him but the conversation of a particr group, caught his attention.


    "You probably do not know but senior sister Jiu Yin will most likely target this neer", a chubby looking girl spoke to herpanions.


    "Senior sister Jiu Yin! What is the need for her to pick a fight with the core disciple?", few of herpanions asked with confused expression on their faces.


    "All of you know her. She is a battle maniac feared by all the inner court disciples and core disciples alike. The cultivators, she hates most were the ones who had a frivolous attitude and thinks women as mere y thing", the chubby looking girl replied.


    "You mean to say that this new core disciple is such kind of person", herpanions asked with surprised expression on their faces.


    "Yes, I have heard about it. He has kidnapped an elder from the Serpent moon sect who is a married person herself", the chubby looking girl replied.


    "And where did you hear about it?", a voice interrupted their conversation as they saw a tall handsome young man walking towards them.

 Chapter 316 Seeking Permission From Zhan Wu Li

    "I have heard it from a senior of mine but who are you? Why are you listening to talk of us sisters?", the chubby girl immediately went into a defensive mode after seeing the tall handsome young man.


    "Junior brother, you have such a good look. I wonder whether you are an outer court disciple or inner court disciple?", apanion of the chubby girl asked asked ignoring the defensive look on her chubbypanion.


    "I am neither an inner court disciple nor an outer court disciple. I am a core disciple about whom you are talking about earlier", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What? you are that core disciple everyone was talking about?", the girls in the group looked at Zhan Chen with surprised expression on their faces. They couldn''t beleive that such a dashing young man was also a core disciple of their Xuantian sect.


    "Of course, I am. There is no point in hiding something which is already known to everyone in this sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Now, senior sister. If you don''t mind can you share the rumour you have heard about me in details", Zhan Chen looked towards the chubby looking girl.


    "What? Senior sister?, the chubby looking girl looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression on her face. Contrary to her expectation, Zhan Chen neither seem haughty nor a lecherous young man.


    She immediately apologized infront of Zhan Chen and shared the details. Zhan Chen spoke few words with the group of girls before bading them farewell.


    "It is not like he has kidnapped a woman. With his charm, I am sure that the woman from the Serpent moon sect had left on her own to pursue him. Lucky her, I wish I could be that woman", a girl muttered while looking at the leaving figure of Zhan Chen. There was a dreamy look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Girls, what should I do? I want to talk with him more. So that, I can aplogize again for our earlier conversation", the chubby looking girl spoke.


    "Sister Yi Ran, I have a proposal. If you agree to it, then we can talk with him again", anotherpanion of the chubby girl spoke. There was a crafty look on her face as she looked towards herpanions.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know what the group of the girl was plotting. He thought about the information he had received while walking towards the three storied building ahead of him.


    "People will always say whatever they want. But infamy or bad reputation is nothing if they got supplemented by strength. Those who are pointing fingers will wag their tails if they are presented with absolute strength", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He walked leisurely and stopped after reaching infront of the three storied building which was located at the middle of the Central valley.


    There was only two simple words ''treasure hall'' carved on the three storied building. Zhan Chen took a look at the surrounding before stepping inside the building.


    "Junior brother, what do you need?", a sweet voice came from a distance after Zhan Chen stepped into the treasure hall of the Xuantian sect.


    Zhan Chen turned his head and saw a mature beauty smiling towards him. He bowed towards the beauty and asked her about his token.


    "Senior sister, I am Zhan Chen. I have been told that I have to collect my token from the treasure hall of the sect", Zhan Chen spoke after bowing towards the beauty.


    "You have such a glint tongue. No junior ever call me senior sister since I am in charge of the treasure hall", the beauty spoke with a beautiful smile on her face.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Fool, she is elder Hua. No one dare offend her unless you don''t want to enter the treasury in your life time", a cultivator spoke from the side. The mature beauty threw a look at him and the cultovator immediately shut his mouth.


    "Junior brother, can you call me senior sister from now on. It sounds so pleasant to my ears that I want to hear it again", the beauty spoke.


    If it was any other cultivator, he would have a nk look on his face at this moment but Zhan Chen was indifferent. A smirk appeared on his face as he looked towards the mature beauty infront of them."Senior sister, your charm is undeniable but you need to do some more efforts to have the intended effect. Now, if you don''t want to keep me standing then can you please hand me over my token", Zhan Chen looked towards the mature beauty.


    "Junior brother, please don''t take offence. I am merely curious about you after hearing your acheivements from others. Now, can you please follow me to the first floor. Your token is there and few other valuables are also there which you need to select from the treasury", the mature beauty spoke.


    Zhan Chen looked at the beauty while following her through the steps. An evil fire went through his body as he looked at her charming demeanor. "Her cultivation is at the fourth stage of Tribtion realm. Which is not bad at all. Since, she tried to use charm technique on me first, there is no harm if I try the same method on her", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    There was a barrier separating the ground floor from the first floor. The mature beauty took out a token and a gap appeared in the barrier. She asked Zhan Chen to follow her and stepped inside the barrier.


    Zhan Chen''s eyes glowed after he entered through the barrier. The first floor waspletely different whenpared to the ordinary looking ground floor. There were countless valuable stored in wooden shelves. There was also abel on them which showed how organized and flourished, the Xuantian sect was.


    "Senior sister, if you don''t mind, can I ask you a question?", Zhan Chen looked towards the mature beauty.


    "Sure, you can ask whatever you want", the mature beauty nodded her head.


    "Senior sister, do you have a confidant?", Zhan Chen looked towards the mature beauty.


    "My confidant! But why are are asking?", the beauty felt puzzled. She looked at Zhan Chen''s expression and a realisation dawned upon her.


    "It can''t be that you want to take me as your woman", the beauty teased with a small smile on her face. ording to her, it was a normal reaction of a junior aftering across her beauty and charm.


    "It is indeed about taking you as my woman and I am not joking", Zhan Chen spoke with a calm look on his face. The mature beauty finally felt some awkwardness after seeing the calm expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "You can''t be serious!", she muttered while looking towards Zhan Chen. There was a strange attractioning from Zhan Chen''s persona which made her look more deeply into Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Are you really?", she asked with a confused voice. "What do you think?", Zhan Chen asked her with a smile on his face.


    Finally a shed of red appeared on the cheeks of the mature beauty as she blushed. Zhan Chen smiled because she couldn''t look at him anymore and lowered her head to save herself from the embarassment.


    "Beauty, so, what do you say? Are you willing to be my woman?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Let me think about it", the beauty gave a vague reply. The confident self of hers was gone as she acted like a shy girl infront of Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 317 Seeking Permission From Zhan Wu Li (2)

    "Beauty, you are probably aware about my identity but I do not know yours. So, can you please introduce yourself?


    I want to know about you because we are going to be cultivation partners in near future", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "That is not decided yet", the mature beauty wanted to protest but she couldn''t utter the words because of a strage resistanceing from her heart. She blushed once again as her eyes met with Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "I am Liu Hua, an inner court elder of the Xuantian sect. My current assignment is to look after the treasure hall while my master is absent", the mature beauty spoke.


    "Well then, it is good for me. You can help me out in the time of need", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Hua was already afficted with his ''Soul seed technique'' but she could resist the effect for a while now. So, she knew what was important at the moment and gathered the materials that the Xuantian sect was going to gift Zhan Chen due to his core disciple position.


    "Beauty, why can''t I find a single herb or pill in the treasure hall?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua.


    "It is because the ordinary pills below sky grade are produced in the alchemy peak of our sect. As for the herbs, you can get them from the Serene wood peak", Liu Hua spoke.


    "And one reminder. No matter what you want to get from the sect, you need to have sect contribution points for it. No one will give you anything for free even if you are a core disciple. Even, the emperor realm experts of our sect are no exception as they also need to have sufficient sect contribution points", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Sect contribution points! I have heard about it but never knew that it has such importance in the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen murmured.


    "Other prominent sects'' also have their own contribution points but they also involve energy stones and alchemy pills as their medium of exchange. Our Xuantian sect is different because no peaks will ept anything except the sect contribution points. Ofcourse, private trade is another matter", Liu Hua spoke.


    "You currently have two thousand sect contribution points which is awarded because of your position as a core disciple. It is only an one time award and you need to earn sect contribution points for your further needs. Ofcourse, I can lend you my contribution points if you want", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Who decides how much sect contribution points I can have? Moreover, there must be a way to check my sect contribution points", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua.


    "The Mission hall of the sect is responsible for awarding sect contribution points. You will understand everything once you visit the mission hall.


    As for your contribution points, you can check it on your own. You just need to check your personal token with essence energy", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Thanks for your information. I will check the mission hall after leaving this hall. But before that I need your help in finding few materials", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua.


    "Well then, you can tell me whatever you need. But let us go to the ground floor first", Liu Hua replied.


    Zhan Chen followed after Liu Hua as they took the stairs towards the ground floor. There were already few cultivators waiting by the time they got back to the ground floor.


    --------------------


    ''Extreme yang jade''


    ''Pure moon crystal''


    ''Water mirror stone''


    ''Abyss earth liquid''


    ''Heat illumination stone''<novelnext></novelnext>


    ''wood spirit ore'', Liu Hua stood stunned after taking a look at Zhan Chen''s list. A frown appeared on her beautiful face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Do you know what grade they are?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    Yes, all of them are sky grade materials. I could have picked earth grade materials but they are of no use to me.


    "So, can you tell me if all of these materials are avable in the treasure hall or do I need to look somewhere else?", Zhan Chen asked Liu Hua.


    "Our sect is one of the biggest sect. So, ofcourse these materials are avable in our treasury. But you can not get ess to them with the amount of contribution point you have. Even, adding my contribution points will be not enough if you want to get these materials from the sect", Liu Hua spoke.


    "What if I add this to my contribution points", Zhan Chen took out the token given to him by Zhan Wu Li.


    "A golden token!", audible gasps came out from the crowd of cultivators who were present in the ground floor of the treasury hall at this moment. They looked with awe and astonishment as Zhan Chen handed over the token to Liu Hua.


    "The token is indeed genuine. But we need to have the permission of senior Wu Li before taking out these materials from the second floor. All of these will cost her one fourth of her lifetime fortune", Liu Hua spoke.


    "What! Ancestor Wu Li need to pay one fourth of her fortune? Exactly how much contribution points are needed for these materials?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua with a look of confusion on his face.


    "All these materials will cost you eighteen thousand points. So, even an emperor realm senior have to think twice before getting his hand on such valuable materials", Liu Hua spoke.


    If you insist to have these materials then I can send someone to senior Wu Li ''s ce. Everything will be clear once we get her permission", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Shall I trouble her or not?", Zhan Chen found himself in a dilemma after hearing the words of Liu Hua. He thought for a while and looked towards Liu Hua.


    "Please send someone to ask for her permission. I will visit her once I aplish my goal", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a steely determination on his face as he decided to take the help of Zhan Wu Li.


    Liu Hua fell into a trance while observing Zhan Chen. She managed to get back her bearing when Zhan Chen looked towards her. "Wait a moment. I will send someone to visit senior Wu Li", she spoke with an awkward expression on her face.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and walked towards a distant corner. He didn''t want to trouble Liu Hua anymore because she had other matters to attend.


    He waited patiently while Liu Hua attained to the queries of other cultivators. It was alomost an hour when the disciple who was sent by Liu Hua returned. To Zhan Chen''s surprise, Zhan Wu Li had alsoe along with that said disciple.

 Chapter 318 Showing His Ability

    "Greetings ancestor", Zhan Chen bowed towards Zhan Wu Li after seeing her inside the treasury hall. Liu Hua also did the same and paid her respect to Zhan Wu Li.


    "Little brat, I am wondering whether you are cultivating or not but here you are, causing a ruckus in the treasury hall as soon as you enter the Xuantian sect", Zhan Wu Li looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Ancestor, I have caused you trouble", Zhan Chen replied respectfully.


    "Doesn''t matter. These matters do not bother me. But I am indeed dissatisfied with you because you do not inform me about the deeds of my grand father", Zhan Wu Li spoke.


    "Ancestor''s grand father!", Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment but suddenly the figure of a tyrannical old man appeared inside his mind. He recalled the expert who had saved them during their journey to the Xuantian sect.


    "Ancestor, are you talking about the other senior whom we have met during our face off with the Heavenly sword sect?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Exactly, that person is my grand father. He is alive at his age. It means he is already an expert beyond the emperor realm", Zhan Wu Li spoke with a smile on her face.


    "That senior is indeed incredible. Within few moments of face off, he killed all of our enemies", Zhan Chen added.


    "Well, he is a renowned expert of our Zhan n. It is incredible that he has managed to survive the battle. We will talk about himter but first I need you to exin yourself.


    Tell me, Why do you need such valuable materials which are worth eighteen thousand sect contribution points?", Zhan Wu Li asked Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I want to arrange a formation for me. This formation is very important for the advancement of my cultivation", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Arranging a formation on your own? Do you mean to say you have formation knowledge?", Zhan Wu Li looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief on her face.


    "Yes ancestor, I have arranged a formation for my family before leaving the Red cloud kingdom", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Unbelievable. If what you are iming is true then I will dly spend eighteen thousand sect points for you", Zhan Wu Li spoke.


    "Ancestor, you can check if you want. I will not disappoint you no matter which formation you want me to arrange", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Good, let''s give it a try them. I want senior brother Deming to watch as it will be a huge thing if you prove yourself", Zhan Wu Li spoke.


    "Ancestor, what formation do you want me to arrange? I can prepare the materials if you inform me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "There is no need for aplex formation. I just want to watch your ability. As long as you able to arrange an earth grade formation, I will leave half of my contribution points to you. You are allowed to do whatever you want with half of my sect contribution points", Zhan Wu Li spoke.


    "Ancestor, where should I arrange the formation?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Let''s do it here. We can pick a secluded ce nearby and there you need to show your proficiency in the formation", Zhan Wu Li replied.


    ------------------


    Zhan Chen immersed himself in meditation after reaching near a secluded ce. Zhan Wu Li took out amunication tailsmans and sent a message for Fu Deming. A smile appeared on her face as she noticed few onlookers spying on them from a distance.


    The spying onlookers were the earlier group of girls with whom Zhan Chen had a conversation. They were waiting for Zhan Chen to leave and followed him when they saw him walking out with a beautiful lookingdy.


    Zhan Wu Li ignored the group of girls and focused her eyes on Zhan Chen. There was a look of hope and anticipation in her eyes as she observed the meditating Zhan Chen.


    Fu Deming appeared next to Zhan Wu Li after receiving her message. A frown appeared on his face after he noticed a group of inner court disciples spying on them.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Senior brother, Ignore them. They are here for my n''s brat. Let him deal with them after he arrange a formation for us", Zhan Wu Li spoke.


    "What? Formation! Are you telling me that Zhan Chen is also proficient in formation?", Fu Deming looked towards Zhan Wu Li with surprise on his face.


    "Yes, he ims to have knowledge about formation. It will be clear after he ends his meditation", Zhan Wu Li spoke.


    "Let''s watch then. I need to inform the ancestoral peak if the matter is true. A cultivation genius with a formation aptitude is once in a generation talent.


    We need to nurture him more carefully. So that, he can contribute to my Xuantian sect in the future", Fu Deming spoke.


    Zhan Chen didn''t take much time for meditation. He greeted Fu Deming and took out a set of swords from his spatial ring.


    "Little friend, what formation are you going to arrange? It will be fine even if you arrange a profound grade formation for us", Fu Deming spoke.


    "Senior, I am going to arrange a ughter formation. It will be a formation consists of nine swords. You can judge the grade after the formation is activated", Zhan Chen replied.


    He sat down once again and took out a formation pen from his spatial ring. It was an earth grade pen he had borrowed from the treasure hall.


    He lifted a sword and put it down infront of him. Then he started to inscibe divine symbols on the body of the sword using his spiritual energy.


    Tiny symbols started to appear on the body of the sword as Zhan Chen controlled the flow of his spiritual energy exquisitely. It didn''t took him much time before he filled the body of sword with numerous tiny symbols.


    There was an amazed look on both Zhan Wu Li and Fu Deming''s faces as they watched Zhan Chen''s inscription technique. Both of them looked at eachother and both could see the shock in eachother''s faces.


    Zhan Chen stopped after inscribing divine symbols on all the nine swords. He still had plenty of his spiritual energy to spare but he decided to meditate once again.


    Every formation was an opportunity in itself. So, he wanted to be at his best state of mind while arranging the ughter formation.


    He opened his eyes after a while and stood up from his ce. He took a look at Zhan Wu Li and Fu Deming before connecting the swords with his spiritual energy.


    Swords started to fly on their own as Zhan Chen controlled them with his spiritual energy. Zhan Wu Li, Fu Deming and the group of girls watched in wonder as Zhan Chen arranged the swords in an octagonal pattern.


    Eight swords were firmly rooted in the ground as Zhan Chen arranged them in an octagonal pattern. He finally ced thest sword in the center and the arrangement of swords werepleted.


    "Now the final part", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and spread his spiritual energy to the surrounding. The sword in the middle was the first to react as it was closest to him. The divine symbols on the body of the nine swords lit up one by one as Zhan Chen connected them with his spiritual energy.


    "Connect", with his mentalmand an illusory link established between the nine swords. Sword howls came out as nine illusory appeared at the same time.


    "Senior, please step inside. You will know it''s grade after facing an attack of this ughter sword formation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Fu Deming nodded his head and walked towards the sword formation. A surprised look appeared on his face as soon as he faced the attack from the nine swords.


    Nine illusory swords attacked him at once from various positions. Fu Deming managed to stop them using his essence energy but there was a clear shock on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "A marvelous formation. Even a beginner Heavenly tribtion realm expert would not leave unscathed if he choose to fight this formation head on", he spoke with an astounded look on his face.

 Chapter 319 Choice Of The Five Girls

    "Zhan Chen, you have done well. From now on, our sect will nurture you to be a formation king.


    I can''t say what kind of help, the sect will provide you at this moment but I will definitelye with an answer, the next time we meet", Fu Deming spoke.


    "Senior, thank you", Zhan Chen bowed towards Fu Deming. He turned to look towards Zhan Wu Li after finishing his conversation with Fu Deming.


    "Little brat, it is incredible to see such talent in you. Out sect previously had geniuses in martial path but I have never heard of any ancestor who had the ability of a formation grand master at your age", Zhan Wu Li looked towards Zhan Chen with a praising look on her face. She was really happy from her heart to see such a genius among her Zhan n descendants.


    "Ancestor, how is big sis doing? I am worried about her cultivation problem but I can''t do anything about it at this moment", Zhan Chen asked Zhan Wu Li.


    "You don''t have to worry about her. She ispletely fine at this moment. I have a good nning for her but everything will depend on her persistence and determination", Zhan Wu Li replied.


    "Okay, enough of your worrying. You need to focus on your problems. I am allowing you to use all my sect contribution points but don''t squander them too much", Zhan Wu Li spoke. She gave few more advices to Zhan Chen before leaving with Fu Deming.


    "Ancestor is really good to me. I will definitely repay her somehow after my n got seeded", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He turned to look towards a certain direction after Zhan Wu Li and Fu Deming left.


    ----------------


    "How did you find us?", there was a baffled expression on each of the girls faces after Zhan Chen called them out.


    "I have noticed you all since a while ago. But I didn''t call you out because my ancestor and senior Deming were present at that time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Now tell me, why are you hiding here? There must be a reason for following me from the treasure hall", Zhan Chen looked towards the five girls who were sneakily following him.


    "Senior brother Chen, we want to have a conversation with you. Moreover, senior sister Yi Ran wants to apologise you once again for her past behaviour. So, we have decided to follow you after you leave the treasure hall", a tall girl among the five spoke. There was a visible excitement on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen used the Heart seeking technique and saw though the thoughts of the five girls. A smile appeared on his face after he saw through all of their thoughts.


    "So, all of them have a favourable impression on me. Among them, two have some vested interest but three of their curiousity were geniune. All of them are at Core condensation realm. So, it is not like that they can''t be any help to me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    A glint appeared in his eyes as he looked towards the five girls. There was a strange attraction which pulled the five girls towards him. They raised their heads and their eyes met with with his own.


    "Girls, I know all of you are interested in me and I really appreciate your feelings. But how many of you can digest the fact that, I am a dual cultivator and I have many women as my dual cultivation partners", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Three girls among the five reacted oddly and they looked towards Zhan Chen as if they were were looking at a different person but two among the girls only felt confused because they couldn''t decide how to react after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. They were pretty clear in their hearts that they like Zhan Chen but the words of Zhan Chen, put them in a dilemma.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You three, can you please leave? We do not share same opinion. So, there is no point in having a cordial conversation", Zhan Chen looked towards the girls whose opinion changed after he introduced himself as a dual cultivator.


    All the three girls exchanged nces and two of them immediately left. The third one stood confused and looked towards her twopanions.


    "Why didn''t you leave?", Zhan Chen looked towards the third girl who choose to stay.


    "Senior brother, please do not send her away. We three are like real sisters who have always stayed together since joining the Xuantian sect", the chubby looking girl among the three spoke.


    "Well, okay. If she isfortable with me, she can stay", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You two, tell me. Are you willing to be my dual cultivation partners? I have few women but unfortunately, I need many more for my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, if you don''t mind can I ask a question?", the chubby looking girl looked towards Zhan Chen with hesitation on her face.


    "Sure, you can ask anything before taking your decision", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Senior brother, what kind of cultivation technique are you using? If it is a technique where women are used as furnaces, then I have to deny your proposal.


    But if it is a normal technique where no harme to the female partner, then I want to give it a try", the chubby looking girl spoke.


    "My cultivation technique is not so degraded that I have to use women as furnaces. Most of the time, I give women their freedom to choose whatever they want.


    As for the benefit, it acts both way. I can assure you that you will definitely reach Martial ascension realm, if you cultivate with me for a while", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Senior brother, thank you for exining. I will notin even if my cultivation do not progress", the chubby looking girl replied. There was a shy look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    From her shy expression, there was a certainty that she had epted Zhan Chen''s proposal. Other two girls exchanged nces among themselves as they couldn''t decide immediately like their chubby partner.


    "I have forgot to say you one thing. I am also an alchemist. You do not have to wait for our cultivation to breakthrough to the Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen spoke to the chubby looking girl.


    "Senior brother, you are also an alchemist?", the chubby looking girl looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised look on her face. Her other twopanions also stood stunned as they couldn''t beleive what Zhan Chen had just said.


    "It is your choice whether to beleive me or not. You three girls can discuss among yourselves about my proposal. I need to sort out some matters beforeing here", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 320 Mission Hall Of The Xuantian Sect

    "I have never thought that the new core disciple is this kind of person. I wonder why he has kept senior sister Yin Ran and senior sister Hui", one of the two girls spoke. They were the same girls who had left after Zhan Chen introduced himself as a dual cultivator.


    "Even senior sister Xue Yi didn''t return with us. I wonder why she choose to stay despite knowing the intention of the new core disciple?", the other girl added.


    "Sister Chun, I have decided. I am going to warn our other sisters so that they can make some distance from the new core disciple", the girl who had initiatiated the conversation spoke. There was grievances hidden in her voice as she discussed about Zhan Chen with herpanion.


    They were walking back to their cultivation peak when a shadow approached them from their back. Both of them stopped and turned turned to see who was following them.


    "You!", both of the girls became stunned for a moment because it was Zhan Chen who was infront of them.


    "Hello girls. It is nice to know that you two are thinking about me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "How can you be here? Are not you with senior sister Yin Ran and senior sister Hui?", one of the girl asked with a baffled expression. Herpanion was also deeply surprised because she couldn''tprehend, how Zhan Chen got so close to them.


    "None of your cultivation is better than other three girls. If both you have slightly better cultivation, I would have used Soul seed technique on you. But for now, there is only one option. Memory maniption", Zhan Chen softly spoke. Before the two girls could understand what he way saying, both of their eyes became nk.


    "If it is any normal time, I do not have cared about whatever mischief you two are nning. But here in the Xuantian sect, I do care. I will not allow anyone to spoil my n no matter what ever identity they have in the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.


    Both of the girls became normal after few moments. There was a look of confusion on their faces as they stared at eachother. "Sister Mu, what did you stop?", one of the girl looked towards herpaion.


    "Sister Li, I just have a sudden headache. So, I stopped for a moment. My head is not hurting like before. So, we can go back now", the other girl replied. Both of them could not recall their encounter with Zhan Chen as they walked back towards their cultivation peak.


    Zhan Chen didn''t go towards the group of chubby looking girl and her two sisters after doing the memory maniption. Instead, he chose to head back to the treasure hall for collecting the formation materials.


    -------------------


    "I have already received permission from senior Wu Li. So, there is no problem in giving these materials to you", Liu Hua, the mature beauty incharge of the treasure hall spoke. She wanted to speak more with Zhan Chen but the crowd of cultivators didn''t give her such opportunity. Zhan Chen bade her farewell and walked back to the ce where he left the chubby looking girl and her two beautiful sisters.


    "So, what have you two decided?", Zhan Chen looked towards the two beautiful sisters of the chubby looking girl.


    "Senior brother Chen, can we really reach the Martial ascension realm sooner if we cultivate with you?", one of the beuties asked.


    "For sure", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "Then, I will be your cultivation partner along with sister Yin Ran. Sister Xue Yi is still hesitating. So, please give her some more time", the beauty replied.


    "Fine for me. She can wait and watch. She will definitely join us after seeing your progress", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I want you three to introduce yourself. All of you are going to be my cultivation partners. So, I need to learn your names", Zhan Chen looked towards the chubby looking girl and her two beautiful sisters.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Yin Ran", the chubby looking girl introduce herself.


    "I am Ling Hui", one of the two beauties spoke.


    "I am Xue Yi", the other beauty introduced herself. Zhan Chen talked with the three and learned that all of them were inner court disciples from the Martial peak.


    "Yin Ran, is there a way to find out what kinds of spirit herbs are present inside the herb gardens of the Xuantian sect?", Zhan Chen looked towards the chubby looking girl.


    "The important spirit herbs are hoarded by those witches from the Spirit bamboo peak. There is no point in talking to them directly. So, we can check with mission hall. There is a log book of Spirit herbs there. We can buy any herb as long as we have enough sect contribution points", Yin Ran replied.


    "Let''s go to the mission hall then". ''I want to put up a mission for feeding a hungry dragon in my home'', Zhan Chen spoke. Hisst line was only for himself. So, the three girls couldn''t suspect anything.


    The mission hall of the Xuantian sect was located in a vast valley. It''s architecture was simr to the treasure hall. The only difference was the huge number of disciples going in and out of the mission hall.


    "The ground floor was for outer court disciples and inner court disciples. The inner court disciples can go to the first floor but they have to spend some sect points before they are allowed to enter the first floor.


    As for the provision for the core disciples, I am not aware", Yin Ran spoke.


    "Let''s enter to find out. The procedure most be simr with the treasure hall", Zhan Chen added.


    The mission hall wasrger in size than the treasure hall. Zhan Chen looked for the elder in charge after seeing the crowd of cultivators inside the mission hall.


    "Excuse me, elder. Can I go the the first floor and take mypanions with me?", Zhan Chen asked an old man who was in charge of the ground floor.


    The elder asked for his token and Zhan Chen gave his personal token which he had received from the treasure hall. "A core disciple!", the elder yelped in surprise. He pointed towards a narrow staircase which led to the first floor of the mission hall.


    Zhan Chen thanked the elder and climbed the staircase along with Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi. There was a barrier infront of the entrance which stopped them from moving.


    "Senior brother Chen, you can go inside. We have to spend sect contribution points if we want to enter", Yin Ran spoke.


    "How much point do you need to enter the first floor?", Zhan Chen asked Ling Hui.


    "We need hundred points each", she informed. Zhan Chen could understand why the three girls were reluctant toe along with him. Because, the charges are too high, exorbitantpared to the wealth of an inner court disciple.


    "Let me transfer hundred points to you each. All of you cane inside and take a look", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi didn''t let Zhan Chen pay for them as they paid for their own entrance. Zhan Chen had to stop insisting after seeing their action. He took out his own token and the barrier to the first floor opened.

 Chapter 321 Log Book Of Spirit Herbs

    "It is my first time inside. Let''s see what are those difficult missions everyone is talking about", Yin Ran spoke. Ling Hui and Xue Yi nodded their heads and all the girls walked towards the elder, incharge of the first floor of the mission hall.


    A light smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after seeing the girls'' enthusiasm. He was also curious about the missions issued by the mission hall. So, he followed Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi.


    "Inner court disciples?", the elder looked towards the three girls with a questioning look on his face. Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi nodded their heads and asked the elder about the mission log book.


    "As you know, you can only ess three log books among the existing five. Yellow log book and green log book is already in the ground floor. So, I can only allow to take a look at the ck log book. The rest of the books are out of your reach for now", the elder spoke.


    "What, we can''t take a look at the Blue log book?", Ling Hui muttered with a disappointed look on her face. Among the five log books, the most she want to see was the ck log book which had quite an extraordinary reputation among the inner court disciples.


    "Senior, excuse me. You have spoken about five log books. Yellow, Green, ck, Blue are already mentioned. So, which is thest one?", Zhan Chen looked towards the elder incharge of the first floor.


    "And you are?", the stern looking elder looked towards Zhan Chen. He had a displeased look on his face as Zhan Chen did not appear polite to him.


    "Senior, I am Zhan Chen. I have just joined the sect. So, didn''t know much about the function of the mission hall", Zhan Chen replied. He took out his token and showed it to the elder in charge of first floor.


    "A blue token!", the stern looking elder became surprised after seeing the token in Zhan Chen''s hand. He looked towards Zhan Chen once again and something clicked in his head.


    "Zhan Chen! You are the core disciple brought in by brother Ying Chao?", he looked towards Zhan Chen with a questioning look on his face.


    "Yes senior", Zhan Chen nodded his head. The elder incharge of the first floor asked him few more questions. Then, he started to talk about the five log books of the mission hall in details.


    "Our mission hall has five log books in total. The Yellow log book and the Green log book are store in the ground floor. The ck log book and the Blue log book are stored in the first floor. As for thest one, it is the Golden log book which is stored in the second floor", the elder spoke.


    Yellow log book and the Green log book can be essed by the Outer court disciples. Inner court disciples have one more privilege. They can ess the ck log book in addition to both Yellow log book and the Green log book.


    As for the core disciples, they have ess to all the log books except the Golden one. Even us inner court elders do not have permission to ept missions from the Golden log book. That book is only for those seniors who are at the peak Tribtion realm or above. Even I am unable to see that book despite my long years as an inner court elder", the strict looking elder added further. There was a look of longing in his face as he spoke about the Golden log book.


    ''Interesting. There are such detailed stratification in the Xuantian sect. I bet there most be few good missions which will be to my liking'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    ''But let''s not think about it now. I must focus my attention on the matter at hands'', he decided inside his mind.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Senior, can you let us see the Blue log book? The girls are quite interested about it. So, please allow them to check it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, I am Nu Quang. You can look for me whenever you need anything else in the first floor", the stricy elder introduced himself. His previous stern self was no more as he was quite amiable to Zhan Chen after learning his identity.


    He didn''t stall for the time and took out the Blue log book right away. Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi''s eyes shown as they they looked towards Zhan Chen with gratitude in their eyes.


    "You girls can take a look first. I want to check something else for now. Please let me check it after all of you are done", Zhan Chen spoke and pushed the log book towards Yin Ran. She happily epted it and thanked Zhan Chen along with both of her sisters.


    "Senior Quang, I have heard that there is a log book of Spirit herbs in the mission hall?", Zhan Chen looked towards Nu Quang.


    "Yes, there is. But why are you asking? If there is a certain pill you want, you can directly look for the alchemy peak.


    You just need to show your token and I am sure, they will happily concoct any pill for you", Nu Quang advised Zhan Chen after hearing the word ''log book of Spirit herbs''.


    "Senior, thank you for your advice but zinprefer to see the log book first. I need to see what kind of spirit herbs are growing in the herb mountains of the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Nu Quang gave in to Zhan Chen''s demand and gave him the log book. It was a verdant green coloured log book which had a stalk of leaves as it''s symbol.


    A cultivators'' log book was different from the ordinary log book of mortals. It was refined by artificers who were proficient in making spiritual treasures.


    As soon as Zhan Chen turned over the cover page, a diagram floated into air. It was a lively diagram which an ordinary cultivator could study in great details.


    "Sect''s log book has no mention of grade one and grade two herbs. There is mention of only grade three, grade four, grade five and grade six spirit herbs", Nu Quang spoke from the side. Zhan Chen nodded his head and focused his attention on the log book.


    He checked one page after another and his eyes lit up time to time. A surprised look appeared on his face when he reached the final few pages of the log book.


    ''Grade six dragon vein fruit! What a surprise! I will grab them as much as the sect has'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    His eyes widen further as he turned the page. It was because one of the most unexpected herb, he saw in the log book. Grade six ''Starry primrose'', it was one of the key ingredient of an ancient pill form he knew.

 Chapter 322 Sudden Outburst

    ''This herb can''t be cultivated manually. It is a cultivators'' luck if he can see such a rare herb in his lifetime. I wonder how the Xuantian sect get its posession and why they are showing it so openly in their log book?'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. His thought was legit because log book of Spirit herbs was not a secret posession of the Xuantian sect. Any cultivator with some reputation could see it and even the information of the log book could reach other powerful sects easily.


    "Senior, is Starry primrose really avable in our sect?", Zhan Chen looked towards Nu Quang.


    "Of course, it is the major attraction of our starry valley. The starry primrose nts are so beautiful that you can''t take your eyes from them. But it is a pity that the starry primrose flowers contain berserk energy. No alchemist in the centralnd can use them for a pill. There is only one way and that is the crudest method of extracting the essence of the starry primrose flower.


    The tribtion realm experts'' extract the medicinal essence out of it and use them after diluting with spirit water. I have tasted them once. Even after consuming the medicinal essence, the benefits are minimal", Nu Quang replied.


    "What? You lot use it for extracting medicinal essence?", Zhan Chen lost his cool for the first time since arriving in the Xuantian sect. He looked angrily towards Nu Quang after hearing his words.


    "Senior brother!", Yin Ran looked towards Zhan Chen with a concerned look on her face. She had never thought that Zhan Chen would yell at a inner court elder like this. Ling Hui and Xue Yi also felt concerned and looked towards Zhan Chen with worried expression on their faces.


    Nu Quang felt baffled for a moment. Then, a look of anger shed past in his eyes. "Zhan Chen, careful with your manners", he looked sternly towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen found it hard to control himself. He took a long moment before he could calm downpletely. "Senior, I am sorry. I lost control of myself", Zhan Chen bowed towards Nu Quang.


    "What happened?", Nu Quang asked as his anger subsided after Zhan Chen''s apology. He wanted to know the reason for the sudden outburst of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, let me be frank with you. Thebined value of other spirit herbs can''t bepared with a single Starry primrose flower. Depending on its age, it can also be used by emperors for theirprehension of the heavenlyw", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "As for my earlier outburst, you can understand it after hearing my exnation. Afterall, no true alchemist would tolerate if you squander such a rare herb", he further added.


    "Senior, I am sorry but you have to listen to me from now on. This matter is so important that I need to put some restriction in your soul", Zhan Chen spoke thest two lines inside his mind. His words directly reached Nu Quang''s brain and he looked towards Zhan Chen as if he was seeing a ghost.


    He wanted to say something but his eyes became nk all of a sudden. The next moment, everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.


    Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi couldn''t notice anything as Zhan Chen and Nu Quang started to talk amiably once again. All the three gorls exhaled in releif and focused their attention on the Blue log book.


    Zhan Chen looked through the remaining spirit herbs and his lips curved upward slightly. A smile appeared on his face as he thought about all the spirit herbs that the Xuantian sect had posessed. ''It is really an eye opener. I have never thought that the Xuantian sect would posess such a treasure trove of the spirit herbs. Even, my imperial family in the past life didn''t posess so much spirit herbs that the Xuantian sect currently posess'', he thought to himself.<novelnext></novelnext>


    ------------------


    "There are not many missions that are to my liking in this book but I will definitely take the missions rted to alchemy. Inner court elders are really generous to offer such huge amount of contribution points for such trifling pills", Zhan Chen spoke after taking a look at the Blue log book.


    "You want to take the pill missions?", Nu Quang looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised look on his face. He had already found out what a monster Zhan Chen actually was. But he was still skepital about Zhan Chen''s alchemy capability.


    "Senior, you do not need to worry. I will definitely seed in concocting these pills. As for your part, I want you to assist me with the acquisition of the spirit herbs", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Do you know what you are saying? All these spirit herbs will amount to an astronomical sum of contribution points. I barely have four thousand contribution points in my token. So, I can''t help you with the spirit herbs even if I wish", Nu Quang spoke. There was a helpless look on his face as he faced the unreasonable side of Zhan Chen.


    "Who say that you have to pay for me?", Zhan Chen looked towards Nu Quang as if he was seeing an idiot.


    "I will first concoct the pill for this elder Mu from the Earth fire peak. He is offering quite a huge amount of contribution points. As for the required spirit herbs, it will barely cost me one thousand three hundred contribution points. So, I will start with this one", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Additionally, I want you to get seven sets of grade five Spirit bamboo shoots, blue lotuses, body cleansing ginsengs, sap of the Heartwood tree and five leaf clovers. The contribution points needed will barely touch four thousand contribution points. You can take the token of ancestor Wu Li and do the transaction for me", Zhan Chen spoke. He brought out the golden token that was given to him by Zhan Wu Li.


    Nu Quang felt surprised for a moment but he didn''t say anything. He was already aware about Zhan Chen''s rtionship with Zhan Wu Li. Moreover, the treasure hall and the mission hall had already received instruction from Fu Deming . So, he received the token withoutint and deduced four thousand contribution points.


    "It will take another two to three hours for gathering all these spirit herbs. I will send someone to deliver the spirit herbs once they are ready", Nu Quang spoke.


    "Additionally, I need some high grade magical beast meat. Contribution point is not an issue but the magical beast most be of fifth tier or sixth tier. I want you to issue this mission under your name", Zhan Chen spoke. Nu Quang had no choice but to nod his head after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Xue Yi bowed towards Nu Quang before leaving the first floor. There was a look of admiration on their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    They had heard a lot about the prestige of the core disciples but none of their prestige could bepared with Zhan Chen. Even an inner court elder had to give way after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior brother, you are amazing", Yin Ran spoke after leaving the mission hall. There was a smitten look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Ling Hui and Xue Yi were equally impressed with Zhan Chen after seeing his interaction with Nu Quang. The cautiousness in their heart were already melting as they wanted to get closer with Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 323 The Dilemma Of Xue Yi

    "Girls, this is my humble abode. You three can visit me whenever you want from now on", Zhan Chen spoke after reaching infront of the mountain alloted to him.


    "The essence energy in the surrounding is somewhatckingpared to our Martial peak. But overall, it is a good ce to enter seclusion", Ling Hui murmured after inhaling a mouthful of essence energy into her body. Yin Ran and Xue Yi were also of same opinion as they observed the serene atmosphere with curiousity in their eyes.


    Zhan Chen invited all the three girls to visit his cave dwelling. All three girls agreed immediately as all of them wanted to get closer with Zhan Chen.


    They saw a young man standing infront of the entrance to Zhan Chen''s cave dwelling. All the three girls immediately recognised the young man as he was a talented cultivator from the sword peak. "Senior brother Xu Zhen! What is he doing infront of your cave?", Yin Ran looked towards Zhan Chen with curiousity on her face.


    "I have asked senior brother Zhen to do a favour to me. Now that I am here, he will return to the sword peak", Zhan Chen spoke. He greeted Xu Zhen after getting closer to the entrance. Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi also greeted the young man who was holding a sword in his hand.


    "Senior brother, you can go back now. I will surely repay you for your help today", Zhan Chen spoke. He released Xu Zhen from the ve seal but still put a restriction on his soul. Xu Zhen gave Zhan Chen a deep look before walking away calmly.


    The caveplex was looking empty despite the presence of several upants in various rooms. Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi felt amazed after seeing how spacious the cave actually was.


    "Tell me more about youself. I currently have some free time at my hand. So, we can get to know eachother better", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Your family wants to use you as a marriage chip? They are still trying to do it even after being aware that you are already an inner court disciple of the Xuantian sect?", Zhan Chen looked towards Xue Yi. It was Yin Ran who told the secret of Xue Yi on her behalf.


    "Senior brother, that is the reason for which she is hesitating more. She need to keep her innocence intact if she has to marry a guy from an influential family", Hui Ling spoke.


    Xue Yi blushed after hearing the words of her two sisters. Both of them were already crushing boundaries while talking with Zhan Chen.


    "Well, I understsnd that. The primordial yin essence of a female cultivator is quite beneficial for her male counterpart. But I failed to understand one thing. What is the need for your family to get you married like this?", Zhan Chen looked towards Xue Yi.


    "Senior brother, my family is being forced to do this. We need to give way to Ying family because they have quite a good rtionship with the imperial family", Xue Yi spoke. She had a helpless look on her face as she described her plight infront of Zhan Chen.


    "Imperial family! They can''t stay on their pedestral for long. If your family want protection, then you can use the name of my Zhan n as your backer", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What? My family can use the name of Zhan n?", Xue Yi looked towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous expression. Even Hui Ling and Yin Ran looked towards Zhan Chen with startled expression on their faces.


    All of them heard about the past glory of the ancient Zhan n. There was a rumour in the centralnd that they were emerging from the shadow. Zhan Chen''s performance in the grand sectpetition gave more wind to that rumour and now almost all the influencial powers had already leaned about the rise of Zhan n.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In such a condition, it was a huge thing for Xue Yi to receive Zhan Chen''s offer. No ordinary family in the centralnd would reject such an olive branch from one of the past hegemons.


    "Why are you girls looking at me like this? If you are agreeing to be a cultivation partner of mine, then our families are already connected. You can send your elders to talk with me and we can find a solution for your current problems", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, thank you. Ying family will back out if they find involvement of any peak tribtion realm expert with our family. Your backing is already so huge. So, your reputation is enough to drive away those disgusting fellows from the Ying n", Xue Yi spoke.


    "You are allowed to use my name if you find any trouble in the future. Now, what I want to here is a definite answer from you. Whether you want to dual cultivate with me or not? No matter what is your answer, you can seek help from me in the future", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, if the problem in my family can be solved, then I ...", Xue Yi couldn''t tell herst words as her cheeks reddenedpletely. She was not straightforward like Yin Ran and Hui Ling who recognised their own needs and epted the offers of Zhan Chen readily.


    Zhan Chen understood what she wanted to say. So, he didn''t ask her any further questions. Dealing with a shy girl was not a new thing for him. So, he knew what to do at such a moment.


    "Xue Yi,e forward", Zhan Chen looked towards the shy girl who was avoiding his gaze. Xue Yi''s cheeks reddened further after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Her heart started to beat faster as she walked towards Zhan Chen.


    Yin Ran and Hui Ling were looking at Xue Yi with anticipation in their eyes as they wanted to see what Zhan Chen was going to do with her. Both of their hearts were skipping as they saw Xue Yi getting close to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen took a step forward and pulled Xue Yi towards him. He cupped her face gently and looked at her eyes. He gradually lowered his head and pressed his lips against the lips of Xue Yi.


    Zhan Chen could feel a soft sensation as he nibbled her lips gently. Xue Yi''s body became stiff for a moment before she could cooperate with him clumsily.


    Zhan Chen didn''t let go of her lips as he slowly increased momentum. Xue Yi had no option other than cooperating with Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn''t press for longer as it was her first time. He finally let her go after few moments of kissing.


    Xue Yi gasped for breath after Zhan Chen let her go. She looked at Zhan Chen and a big blush appeared on her face.


    "You two seems to enjoy it so much. Especially Hui Ling, I have never thought that watching a kiss will excite you so much", Zhan Chen looked towards Yin Ran and Hui Ling. Xue Yi wanted to find a hole to hide after seeing the expression on both of her sister''s faces.


    Both of them were almost drooling as they looked towards Zhan Chen. Both had no shyness, only anticipation as they saw Zhan Chen walking towards them.


    "You girls are really to my liking. What is there to hide if you like me so much", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile and pulled both of them into his embrace.

 Chapter 324 Reserved, Wild, Gentle

    Both Yin Ran and Hui Ling shared kisses with Zhan Chen as finally two blushes appeared on their cheeks. Hui Ling looked towards Zhan with anticipation as she wanted to share some more warmth with Zhan Chen.


    "I know you two are not content with a kiss. I am nning to taste you after getting out of seclusion. But looking at both of your facial expression, I have decided to change my n", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He pulled both Hui Ling and Yin Ran into his embrace and ced his hand on their backs. His hand started to explore lower and lower and finally two perky things stopped his advance.


    "Mmmm~", Hui Ling let out a moan as Zhan Chen squeezed her buttocks. A look of enjoyment appeared on the face of Yin Ran as Zhan Chen squeezed her buttocks at the same time.


    "You two are really good. Especially, Yin Ran. I have not thought that you would hide such huge things inside your cloth", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, don''t you like mine?", Hui Ling asked with a nervous voice. Zhan Chen didn''t reply anything and just squeezed her globe of flesh with more power.


    "What do you think?", he looked evily towards Hui Ling. Hui Ling felt a little pain but the enjoyment was more than double. She looked back at Zhan Chen with a seductive look on her face. Zhan Chen bit the lips of Hui Ling while massaging her back. Hui Ling ''s body heat uppletely as she reached the peak of her ecstacy.


    Xue Yi wanted to run away after seeing such shameless disy of both of her sisters. She wanted to look aside but a hidden desire in her heart made her stay at her ce and look at the tant disy between Zhan Chen and both of her sisters.


    "Xue Yi, why don''t you join us", Zhan Chen turned to look towards the shy girl while massaging the backs of Yin Ran and Hui Ling.


    Xue Yi nodde her head and got closer to Zhan Chen. There was a nervous look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen gave her a kiss squeezed her buttocks a little. He could see through her reservation. So, he didn''t want to make her


    ufortable.


    "Xue Yi, you can go inside a room if you want. Or else, tlyou can stay here and apany both of your sisters", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He let go of her and focused his attention on both Hui Ling and Yin Ran. "You two girls are already at the brink. I need to do a little more and both of you will feel relived. But before that, I want both of you to take off your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Xue Yi finally decided to leave after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. Her face was already red like an apple because Hui Ling had already exposed a portion of her asset before she could leave.


    "This girl is rather shy. I have to keep in mind that she is not suitable for group cultivation", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Take off all of your clothes. I want to see every bit of your skin after you undress youself", Zhan Chen spoke. Yin Ran hesitated slightly but she still resolutely took off her clothes after seeing Hui Ling.


    Zhan Chen took a good look at both Yin Ran and Hui Ling after both of them took off their clothes. His eyes stopped near the gap between two thighs of Yin Ran.


    "A good patch of grass!", he murmured and pulled Yin Ran closer.


    "Senior brother, I am really careless. I will clean them if you give me some time", Yin Ran spoke shyly. Before meeting Zhan Chen, she was always careless about her body. She had a chubby figure. So, none of the good looking male cultivators looked towards her. Gradually, she started to distaste rtionship and becamepletely careless about her own body. As a result, she had a luxuriant patch between her thighs.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "There is no need. I want to see you like this the next time we meet", Zhan Chen spoke as he ran his hand across the luxuriant patch. His hand went further as he touched the crack between her thighs.


    Am enjoying look appeared on Yin Ran ''s face as Zhan Chen rubbed his finger on her entrance. He pushed one of his finger inside and a wet sensation came to his finger.


    "You are already this wet. So, there is only little I can do", Zhan Chen spoke. He held one of her melons with his other hand and gave it a squeeze.


    He continued with his stimtion and Yin Ran gave in after few moments. A stream of yin water came out from her sacred cave and fell on the palm of Zhan Chen.


    To the utter surprise of Yin Ran and Hui Ling, Zhan Chen drank the holy water of Yin Ran with a content expression.


    Yin Ran blushed after seeing the expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Hui Ling, it is your tu Zhan Chen looked at the beauty who was eagerly waiting at the side.


    "Let''s go inside a room. We can continue there untill the spirit herbs are delivered", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Every room inside the caveplex only had a stone bed at the left corner. Except the bed carved from stone, there was no other feature present inside a room.


    There were almost a dozen room in the caveplex and size of most of the rooms were simr to eachother. Each room had space for four to five people. So, Zhan Chen, Yin Ran and Hui Ling fit inside a room easily.


    "Hui Ling, hold the bed with your hands and show your back to me", Zhan Chen spoke. Hui Ling felt confused for a moment but she still did what Zhan Chen had said. Her alluring back was currently facing Zhan Chen as she faced the cave wall infront of her.


    Zhan Chen took a good look at Hui Ling ''s curvy body before putting his hand on her bare skin. Hui Ling started to moan in pleasure as Zhan Chen ran his hand across her body.


    When she was at the epitome of pleasure, Zhan Chen suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Zhan Chen in confusion but what she received in return was a loud p on her buttocks.


    "Pah!", the p was overbearing as the body of Hui Ling stiffened for a moment. Yin Ran also looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion as she didn''t know why Zhan Chen suddenly did it.


    Zhan Chen ignored Yin Ran ''s gaze and looked towards Hui Ling. He ran his hand across her body again and stopped immediately when she reached the peak of her pleasure. "Tell me, whether you want another p or not?", Zhan Chen asked with a calm voice.


    Hui Ling twisted her buttocks slightly and the ced the other side of her buttock near Zhan Chen''s palm. "Senior brother, please", she spoke and looked towards Zhan Chen with a eager look on her face.


    "I know you will like it", Zhan Chen spoke and gave another p on her other side. Hui Ling felt like she was floating as waves of pleasure coarsed through her body. Zhan Chen ran his hand across her body once again and she couldn''t hold back anymore.


    A stream of clear water came out from her cave and she closed her eyes in ecstacy. Her thighs got drenched with her own water as she leaned on the bed to get a moment of rest.


    "Senior brother, thank you very much. I have never thought that this would feel so amazing", Hui Ling spoke. There was simmering love and gratitude in her eyes as she looked at Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 325 There Is Something Else We Can Try

    "Girls, it is your turn to please me", Zhan Chen spoke and started to took down his clothes. Yin Ran and Hui Ling gulped nervously after seeing the little dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior brother, what do you want us to do?", both of the girls looked towards Zhan Chen. They had some vague ideas about men women rtionship but they were still novice when it came to a true rtionship.


    "Just kneel down and put your mouth on it. I will guide you. So, no need to worry", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Yin Ran and Hui Ling knelt down and held the dragon of Zhan Chen curiously. Their curiousity increased after seeing the twitching of Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Yin Ran, open your mouth", Zhan Chen decided to train them properly.Now slowly take it inside your mouth", he spoke and ced his dragon infront of Yin Ran ''s mouth.


    An enjoying look appeared on his face as Yin Ran was obedient. He pushed his dragon slightly deeper and told Yin Ran to hold her breath.


    He gave a moment for Yin Ran to settle and pushed slightly deeper. Yin Ran finally couldn''t hold her breath and coughed slightly after releasing the dragon of Zhan Chen from her mouth.


    "Yin Ran, you did well. Hui Ling, now it it''s your tu Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Stick your tongue and lick it from top to bottom. The better I will feel, the more you put your effort into it", Zhan Chen spoke. Hui Ling was more than obedient when it came to pleasing Zhan Chen. She licked all the corner of Zhan Chen''s dragon with her little tongue.


    "Good, now open your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke.Hui Ling opened her mouth obediently and Zhan Chen pushed his dragon inside her mouth.


    "Try to move your tongue while swallowing it", Zhan Chen spoke. Hui Ling and Yin Ran started to learn, the more they spent their time with him.


    Both of the girls became quite skillful after practicing for half an hour straight. Zhan Chen was quite pleased with their determination to serve him.


    "Girls, it is a pity that we can''t dual cultivate yet. I want you all three to break into Martial ascension realm first. Only after that, your yin essence will help me increasing my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, then what should we do now? It will probably take a longer time before we reach Martial ascension realm", Yin Ran asked. Her hand was still on Zhan Chen''s shaft as she was stroking it gently.


    "Girls, if it is the usual way, then we can''t do nothing else other than what we are currently doing. But if we follow another path, then we can dual cultivate", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, what is it? If it is nothing much, then we can try", Hui Ling asked from the side. There was clear anticipation on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Lean on the bed. You will understand after we start. Yin Ran, I also want you to look. If you are fine with it, then we can try it together", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Hui Ling nodded her head and leaned on the stone bed with the help of her hands. There was anticipation on her face as she waited for Zhan Chen''s response. Zhan Chen pushed apart her legs farther and adjusted her body position. Then he put his dragon on the sacred cave of Hui Ling and started to rub it''s entrance.


    "Senior brother, what are you doing? If you do thatnow, you will not get the benefit, you have mentioned earlier", Hui Ling warned Zhan Chen despite the pleasure she was feeling.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Hui Ling, Thank you for your suggestion. But I know what I am doing", Zhan Chen spoke. He rubbed the entrance of Hui Ling ''s sacred cave for a while. Then pushed his dragon slightly upward.


    Hui Ling''s eyes widenedpletely as she could finally understand the real intent of Zhan Chen. "Senior brother, that ce is....", she blurted out with a surprised voice.


    I have already told you that I know what I am doing. It is your decision now to ept it or not", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Hui Ling took a moment to think through. Then she turned to looked at Zhan Chen. "Senior brother, do you like it?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    "Of course I like it but it will be better if I can get ess to both your caves", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Then senior brother, you can try. If it is something that can make you feel good, then I will happily ept it", Hui Ling spoke. There was a smitten look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had alreadye across many girls but not all of them would be so devoted like Hui Ling in their first encounter. In personality, she was almost like Li Shu, Su''er and Ling''er who would do anything to please him.


    "I am putting it in", Zhan Chen spoke and pushed his dragon inside her closed entrance. A pained expression appeared on Hui Ling''s face as Zhan Chen pushed his dragon little by little.


    "It is so big", Hui Ling murmured as she took in the huge dragon of Zhan Chen. There was a nervous expression on her face as Zhan Chen started to move his waist.


    Her pain receded gradually with the gentle movement from Zhan Chen. A new kind of pleasure coarsed through her body as she could feel connected with Zhan Chen.


    Waves after waves of nefarious energy generated from the room where Zhan Chen was cultivating with Hui Ling. He pulled every bit of nefarious energy into his body while pounding Hui Ling.


    Hui Ling was already floating in cloud by the time Zhan Chen pounded her ten minutes straight. She finally couldn''t hold longer and released her yin water from her sacred cave.


    "Yin Ran, what have you decided? We can do something else if you do not like what I am doing with Hui Ling.


    "Senior brother, I also want to try. Seeing from sister Ling''s expression, she must have enjoyed it", Yin Ran spoke.


    Her figure was more curvy than Hui Ling''s. Her buttocks formed ripples when Zhan Chen started to pound her passionately.Both of the girls cooperatedpletely and Zhan Chen finally deposited his yang essence inside Hui Ling''s throat.


    "I am sharing a cultivation method with you two. I want you both to keep it a secret as the method is only for my women to lea Zhan Chen spoke. He shared the ''Yin nourishment technique'' with both of the girls and both of them were clearly happy about it.


    "Senior brother, thank you", both Yin Ran and Hui Ling looked towards Zhan Chen gratefully. Zhan Chen bade farewell to both of the girls as they wanted to study the newly learned technique.

 Chapter 326 Ascension Spirit Pill

    "Let''s see what the other girls are doing", Zhan Chen thought to himself and spread his soul consciousness. A smile appeared on his face after he saw Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan cultivating ardously on their own.


    "Where is the little dragon?", he thought to himself after not finding Long Xinyu inside his cave. He searched all the nooks and corner of his caveplex but couldn''t find any trace of Long Xinyu.


    ''Let''s ignore her. She must be using some weired technique to hide herself'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was nning to meditate for a while but he had to change his n after noticing a Martial ascension realm disciple of the Xuantian sect. The cultivator was flying towards his mountain and he stopped after reaching near the cave entrance.


    "Senior brother Chen, pleasee out", the cultivator called out politely.


    "Are you sent by elder Quang?", Zhan Chen asked after leaving his caveplex.


    "Yes, senior brother. I am Zhao Bai Chuan. Senior Quang has sent me to deliver the herbs you have asked for", the cultivators replied. He took out a spatial ring from his robe and handed it to Zhan Chen.


    "You are a dual element user!", Zhan Chen looked towards Zhao Bai Chuan with a little surprise in his eyes. He was slightly surprised because the elements that Zhao Bai Chuan was training with. He was training both thunder element and fire element at the same time.


    "Senior brother, how do you know?", Zhao Bai Chuan stood stunned for a moment. There was a look of bewilderment on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "You have a good affinity for fire but you have no talent in thunder element cultivation. Yet, you have forged ahead and already made your body tolerant to the thunder element. That is an incredible acheivement worthy of sect''s attention", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a praising look on his face as he looked towards Zhao Bai Chuan.


    Generally, he didn''t initiate a conversation with an unknown cultivator without any purpose. But the resolve and hard work of Zhao Bai Chuan convinced him to have a chat with the young cultivator.


    "Senior brother, how did you know? I have never shared this secret of mine to another soul", Zhao Bai Chuan looked towards Zhan Chen with deep confusion and bafflement on his face. He couldn''t understand how a newly joined disciple could see through his most important secret.


    "I have my own way. But you do not need to worry about it. Because I am not nning to spill your secret to any other person", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhao Bai Chuan was still feeling confused but he didn''t pester Zhan Chen for an exnation anymore. He bade farewell to him and flew out of the mountain.


    -------------------


    Zhan Chen brought out all the herbs after entering inside his caveplex. He checked all of their qualities and a satisfied look appeared on his face.


    "Good, all the herbs seem to be at perfect condition", he murmured to himself.


    He brought out a pill furnace which he had received as a gift in the Yellow stone city. It was the Alchemy association who had gifted him the pill furnace after he disyed his talent as the youngest alchemy grandmaster of the Northern desert continent.


    He brought out some jade containers and started to refine the herbs one by one. This time his job was slightly more challenging as he was extracting the medicinal essence of several grade six and grade five herbs.


    It took almost one and half hour for the refinement process toplete. Zhan Chen wiped the sweating from his forehead and exhaled a little.


    ''I wonder how Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi will react after I present the Ascension spirit pill to them'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He took a little rest before focusing his attention on the pill furnace again.


    He poured the medicinal essence of the spirit herbs one after another and started concocting. A cyan coloured fire came out from his palm and Zhan Chen used it to heat the pill furnace.


    The heating process continued for almost half an hour. Zhan Chen controlled his soul fire effectively to manipte the temperature of the pill furnace. At the end of half an hour, he stopped pouring his soul energy and the cyan coloured fire went off.<novelnext></novelnext>


    A refreshing fragrance wafted into the air as soon as he lifted off the lid. There were twelve pills in the pill furnace which he concocted from seven sets of spirit herbs.


    Such an urence was normal for Zhan Chen as he stored the pills nonchntly but it would have definitely created a storm if the news was to broke out in open.


    He took a short break again and proceeded to concoct the grade six pill. This time, there was a serious expression on his face because concocting a grade six pill was no joking matter.


    There was a fundamental difference between grade five and grade six pills. Grade five pills could be concocted by an alchemy grand master but to concoct a grade six pill, one needed to have the eligibility of an alchemy king.


    There were numerous alchemy grand masters in the Northern desert continent but there were only a few in the entire continent who could pronounce themselves as alchemy kings.


    An alchemy king had an exalted status. No force would dare to harm an alchemy king unless it was not afraid of the wrath of Alchemy association.


    All of them were highly respected individuals and would be received respectfully by any power they would like to visit. Their status was so exalted that even the imperial Xie family would not disrespect them without any reason.


    And now what Zhan Chen was going to do was exactly acheiving that feat. A sessful concoction of a grade six pill meant, he would jump a big barrier and would be promoted to the status of alchemy king from an alchemy grandmaster.


    Zhan Chen poured the medicinal essence of grade six herbs one by one. He gave enough time for the medicinal essence to mix with eachother and continued pouring his soul energy into his soul fire which he was using for heating the pill furnace.


    The time needed for the grade six pill was fairly highpared to the time taken for the grade five herbs. Zhan Chen had to heat the furnace for almost two hours before he could stop using his soul fire.


    He wiped off the beads of sweat from his forehead and took arge breath. "Now the most important step", he thought to himself.


    He closed his eyes and satpletely still on his position. His soul consciousness gradually merged with the heaven as he searched for the etherealws.


    He would have faced problem if he was any ordinary martial ascension realm cultivator but his sage realm soul assisted him at such a moment. He could easily see various strands which represented various elementalws of heaven.


    The pill he was concocting had a water elemental affinity. Zhan Chen guided the ethereal strands ofw which represented the water element in environment. He skillfully avoided other strands and guided the deep bluish strands which were generally invisible tomon eyes.


    There was arge movement came from the pill furnace as soon as Zhan Chen guided the etherealw strands into the pill furnace. Zhan Chen guided thew stands for few more moments and finally stopped. He cut his soul connection with the heaven and focused his attention on the pill furnace.


    The pill furnace was only of earth grade and it was barely holding off after the pill inside was got enriched by the etherealws of heaven.Zhan Chen poured his soul energy and stabilized the condition of pill furnace.Then he sank his soul consciousness into the pill which was still in a destabilized condition after receiving the ethereal strands of heavenlyws.


    He enveloped the pill with his soul energy and poured soul force inside it. Invisible strands of his soul entered the pill and held the heavenlyws like a cohesive force. The movement inside the pill furnace subsided gradually and the pill started to show sign ofpletion.


    Zhan Chen waited patiently while enveloping the pill with his soul energy. It took almost another half an hour before the condition of the pill waspletely stabilized.


    He took off the lid and collected the pill with his hand. The pill had a lustrous appearance and was faint bluish in colour. Even, Zhan Chen felt surprised after seeing the appearance of the pill that he had concocted.


    ''I have concocted it without any negligence. And due to myplete attention, the pill somehow managed to reach the peak quality. Such a pill, even emperors with water affinity will vye for it if someone spread the news of its appearance in the Xuantian sect'', he thought to himself.

 Chapter 327 A Conversation With Nu Quang

    Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi were already waiting for Zhan Chen when he came out from the closed room. There was a big blush on Xue Yi''s face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    She had already learned what what Zhan Chen had done with her sisters. So, she assumed that Zhan Chen would do the same with her in the future. Thinking about that unscrupulous activity, she felt extremely shy all of a sudden. She avoided looking at Zhan Chen and could only look at her toe to save herself from the embarassment.


    "How is your cultivation? Have you gained anything?", Zhan Chen looked towards Hui Ling first because she was the one who had the weakest foundation among the three.


    "Senior brother, thank you for everything. I have thought that I could not beak through the barrier between Core condensation realm and the Martial ascension realm without cultivating for two to three years. But now thanks to you, I am confident that I can break through within a year", Hui Ling replied. There was a look of gratitude and attachment on her face when she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "All of of you three are inner court disciples. So, you don''t need to doubt your talent for the cultivation. Just stay patient, especially Xue Yi, I am reminding you. You have the highest talent among all of your sisters but you are nning to ruin it by forceful cultivation.


    I will give you as much energy stones as you want. But the only thing I want in return from you is to stay patient. Just a little patience and you can reach the peak Core condensation realm without ruining your foundation ", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "After that you don''t need to think much about the Martial ascension realm because I have prepared something for you three. With it, I am sure that all of you can reach the Martial ascension realm without breaking a sweat", he added further.


    He took out the Ascension spirit pills, he had prepared for Xue Ying, Yin Ran and Hui Ling. There were twelve pills in total. He gave them two pills each and instructed them to stabilize their foundation before consuming the pills.


    "What a rich fragrance!", Yin Ran murmured after opening the pill bottle. There was a curious look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Hui Ling and Xue Yi were also feeling curious as they they wanted to find out what pill Zhan Chen had given to them.


    "Senior brother, what are these pills?", Yin Ran took the initiative to inquire.


    "These are Ascension spirit pills. As for their effect, I don''t think I will have to borate. You can check any standard pill manual and find the information about it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, we don''t need to check because all of us already know what Ascension spirit pill actually is! It is a treasure pill which can help us in reaching the Martial ascension realm",Yin Ran spoke. There was an unspeakable gratitude on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior brother, thank you. I don''t know how I can repay such a huge favour in my life", Xue Yin bowed towards Zhan Chen. Huge turmoil going through in her heart as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "What is with all of your looks? It is only natural that I will take care of my cultivation partners. Moreover, helping you all is like helping myself. So, this is least I can do for you all", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He nted kisses on all the girls'' lips before bading them farewell.

    "You have concocted this pill?", Nu Quang looked towards Zhan Chen as if he was seeing a monster. He had already checked the grade six pill and it was a top grade product which would cause a storm among the water attribute experts.


    "Senior, there is no need to be surprised. This pill is only the beginning. I willplete all the mission that I have epted from the Blue log book. But before that I want you to take a look at these grade five pills", Zhan Chen spoke and brought out the Ascension spirit pills from his spatial ring.


    Nu Quang became stunned for a moment after hearing the name ''Ascension spirit pill'' from Zhan Chen''s mouth. He couldn''t believe that such a rare pill would appear infront of him one day.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "How can you do this on your own? Even a pill king can''t concoct these pills without practicing for hundred years!", Nu Quang looked towards Zhan Chen with a baffled expression on his face. He was still in disbelief that Zhan Chen could concoct such pills on his own.


    Zhan Chen brought out a square shaped token and showed it to Nu Quang. A startled expression appeared on Nu Quang''s face after he saw the square shaped token that Zhan Chen was holding. It was the same token that Zhan Chen had received from the branch of the Alchemy association in the Yellow stone city.


    The token was purple in colour. Nu Quang immediately recognised it because only Alchemy association could issue such a token.


    There were two words ''Zhan Chen'' engraved on the purple token with tiny letters. Nu Quang immediately understood what such a token implied.


    "As you can see, I am already a grand master recognised by the Alchemy association. As for whether I can concoct a grade six pill or not, that you can decide for yourself.


    The only thing I want to ask you is whether you are willing to assist me or not. If you choose to assist me then I promise, I will concoct a pill of your choice which will assist you in your future cultivation.


    If you choose not to assist me, then I can look for someone else to do my biddings. So, tell me what is your decision?", Zhan Chen looked towards Nu Quang.


    Nu Quang took a deep breath to calm himself. The surprise that Zhan Chen brought to him was immense. So, he struggled a little to calm himself.


    "Tell me, what do you want me to do?", he asked Zhan Chen.


    "I want you to assist me in selling these pills. You have to keep my identity hidden and do the exchange by yourself. No less than six thousand contribution points will be epted for a single Ascension spirit pill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Tell me, whether you are able to do it or not", he looked towards Nu Quang.


    Nu Quang took some time to ponder and Zhan Chen didn''t disturb him. He waited patiently for Nu Quang''s decision because he needed an able person to do the transactions on his behalf.


    "There are certain risks involved in your proposal but I know there is no freeunch avable in this world. Your offer is very tempting to me because you can concoct grade six pills at such a young age.


    Combining your martial talent and status, I can''t deny your proposal no matter how unbelievable your ims are. So, I have decided to ept your proposal. You don''t need to worry about your identity either because that will be safe with me untill myst breath", Nu Quang spoke after thinking for a while. There was a decisive look on his face as he chose to work for Zhan Chen.


    "Good, I promise you will not be disappointed. I am leaving these pills with you. Additionally I want you to do another work.


    Send a word to Shen Ruyan from the Shen n that I need her presence in the Xuantian sect. I am sure that she can help me immensely in spreading words about my pills", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Don''t worry, I will make sure that Shen n girl will receive your message. As for the Ascension spirit pills, they will be sold with highest possible sect contribution points", Nu Quang assured.

 Chapter 328 A Brief Seclusion

    Zhan Chen returned to his mountain after having a fruitful conversation with Nu Quang. He took a look at Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min and a smile appeared on his face.


    ''Li Yan, Kai Min aside even Li Shu is doing her best to improve her cultivation. In that case, I shouldn''t fall behind. I need to increase my spirit energy for implementing my grand n'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He didn''t choose to enter the caveplex. Instead, he walked towards the highest point of his mountain and sat cross legged after reaching there.


    He took a look at the surrounding before closing his eyes. He sat calmly for a while and gradually his mind became aligned with the ethereal nature of the heaven.


    Essence energy and the spiritual energy were two different energies altogether. A cultivator could increase his essence energy easily but for spiritual energy, there was no easy shortcut.


    Spiritual energy was a form of mental energy which could only be acquired by the connection of one''s own mind and ethereal manifestation of heaven.A cultivator needed to have some understanding of heaven before he or she could harness spiritual energy from the surrounding.


    This steep requirement was the sole reason for the shortage of formation masters in the Northern desert continent. Because for a formation master, harnessing the spiritual energy was most.


    Zhan Chen already had a sage realm soul and a Martial ascension realm cultivation base but in terms of spiritual energy, he was still a novice. The assuring thing for him was he could establish a connection with the heaven easily due to his past life understanding as a sage.


    The heaven and earth was an amalgamation of heavenlyws and heavenly elements. Each and every object in the heaven and earth was a manifestation of heavenlyws and Heavenly elements.


    With this understanding, Zhan Chen opened up his spiritual perception which he had acquired while arranging the Five elements tribtion formation for his Zhan family estate in the Red cloud kingdom.


    The surrounding suddenly became more colourful after he used his spiritual perception. Whereever his spiritual perception passed by, the object turned into a product of multiple stands of various colours.


    The sky was full of green and bluish strands which represented all pervasive wind element and water element. There were also yellowish and purplish stands which represented earth energy and Heavenly thunder respectively.


    Connecting all these strands was a omnipresent, formless energy which was the quntesse of entire heaven and earth. Zhan Chen could feel that all pervasive energy and he tried to pull that energy towards him.


    All of a sudden, the diagram world which was silent untill now showed a reaction inside Zhan Chen''s soul. The previous time, it was also activated on it''s own when Zhan Chen was trying to form his spiritual river.


    At that moment, it had showed a violent reaction and pulled an exorbitant amount of spiritual energy from the heaven and earth like a tyrant manifestation but this time, it didn''t show such a violent reaction. Amidst the watch eyes of Zhan Chen, it pulled spiritual energy from nearby areas in slow pace and incresed the thickness of spiritual energy in the surrounding.


    Zhan Chen breathed out in relief after seeing the act of the mysterious diagram. He chose to trust it for a moment and focused his attention on pulling the spiritual energy inside his body.


    A continuous stream of spiritual energy entered his mind and Zhan Chen suppressed the energy into an energy drop. There was already a small pool of spiritual energy inside his mind. So, he didn''t have to go through much trouble. The only thing he nedded to do was continue to add such spiritual energy drops inside the spiritual pool and increase its size in a slow yet steady manner.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Time started to trickle past as Zhan Chen busied himself in cultivation. He focused his attention on shaping his spiritual river and started to lose his time sense. Gradually, the movement of energy grabbed the attention of some nearby experts.


    They chose not to interfere at first but the constant draining of heavenly energy picked their curiousity. The diagram world was operating as slow as it could but despite slowing down, it still attracted the attention of Xuantian sect experts.


    In normal time, Zhan Chen would not have allowed such a disturbance but due to spiritual energy cultivation, he had lost his time sense. What seemed like few hours to him was actually two days in outside. It meant he was cultivating for two days and there was a constant flow of energy towards his mountain for two days straight.


    Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min had already left the caveplex and watching Zhan Chen with worried look on their faces. They couldn''t sense spiritual energy but they could feel that some kind of pure energy was concentrating where Zhan Chen had sat down for cultivation.


    "Little girls, who is this brat?", an old man appeared infront of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min. There was a frown on his face as he looked towards the highest point of mountain where Zhan Chen was cultivating.


    "Esteemed elder, please forgive my young master. He is deep in cultivation. So, he is not aware that he has attracted your attention", Li Shu spoke. There was a nervous look on her face as she looked towards the intimidating looking old man.


    "Everyone is cultivating. But how can he be so brazen? What kind of mysterious treasure he is using to attract spiritual energy?", the old man asked. There was a look of avaricity on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min could notice the greedy look on the old man''s face but they felt helpless. The worry in their hearts deepened as another expert appeared in the sky.


    "Big brother Shou, when did you arrive?", the neer asked the old man who was cornering Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    "Junior brother Zhen, why are you here? I could have easily handled this situation involving these juniors", the old man who was standing on the ground raised his eyebrows. Inwardly, he was being cautious because there was anotherpetetor for the secret of Zhan Chen.


    "Big brother Shou, please don''t misunderstand. I am here to stop you because I care about your well being", the expert who was floating in the sky spoke.


    "What do you mean?", the expert who had arrived first looked towards the expert in the sky with confusion on his face.


    "Big brother Shou, you have been in seclusion for a while. So, you are not aware about his identity. He is the new core disciple choosen just few days ago", the expert in the sky sent a mental message to the expert who was standing on the ground. He further spoke about Zhan Chen''s connection with Zhan Wu Li and a drop of sweat fell down from the forehead of the old man who was standing infront of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    He looked towards the expert in the sky with a thankful gaze and left the mountain immediately without taking a second look towards Zhan Chen. He thought the expert who was floating in the sky would also leave but contrary to his expectation, the expert in the sky chose to observe Zhan Chen for a while.


    There was no trace of greed on his face but there was a masked expression of malevolence on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen. He observed Zhan Chen carefully with his soul consciousness and vanished from the sky thereafter.

 Chapter 329 Undercurrents In The Central Land

    Zhan Chen opened his eyes just after the expert who was floating in the sky vanished. A cold look appeared on his face as he thought about the malicious aura, he had just sensed.


    ''Fortunately, there is no side effect in spirit energy cultivation. Otherwise, I would have received a huge setback for such disturbance during a deep state of meditation'', he thought to himself.


    The spirit energy was still thick in the surrounding but the assuring thing for him was the mysterious diagram stopped operating on it''s own after he chose to stop his cultivation.


    ''My spirit energy cultivation is only half way at this moment. But this can wait. I need to catch that man who has such hostility towards me for some strange reason'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He took a look at Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min before dashing towards the northern direction. He could sense that an emperor was also following the same target but he still decided to take the risk and confront the elder who had disturbed him during his cultivation.


    The emperor was following his Target closely. So, Zhan Chen decided to slow down a little. He wanted to observe first before he could confront the elder who had such malicious intention towards him.


    The elder who had just left the mountain of Zhan Chen didn''t know that he was being watched by two cultivators. He decided to fly northward and stopped after reaching an inconspicuous ce.


    He carefully scanned the entire area with his soul consciousness and a rxed look appeared on his face. ''Finally, I can contribute something useful for my n. My position in the n will be elevated after I disclose such a mysterious treasure rted to Zhan n'', he thought to himself with a gleeful look on his face.


    He took out a blue coloured tailsman from his spatial ring and was about to use it but a tyrannical aura suddenly came towards him and left himpletely immobilzed. A foreboding premonition rose in the elder''s heart as he raised his head to look towards the sky.


    A fearful expression appeared on his face after he saw the expert who had just appeared in the sky. "Junior Wang Zhen greets senior zing sword. It is my honour to meet senior after such a long time", the elder bowed his head with extreme difficulty. He was still being suppresd by the tyrannical aura. So, it was difficult for him to do any bodily movement.


    "Wang Zhen, hand over your spatial ring to me. I need to confirm something before letting you go", the expert spoke with a stern expression on his face.


    Wang Zhen ''s face ashened a little after hearing the expert''s words but he still removed his spatial ring from his finger and showed it to the expert who was observing from the sky.


    The expert swept his hand and collected the spatial ring from Wang Zhen ''s hand. He swept his soul consciousness across the products of the ring and a frown appeared on his face.


    "There is nothing suspicious in your ring except these high qualitymunication tailsmans.


    Moreover, all of these high qualitymunication tailsmans are of same pattern. So, there most be a fixed person with whom you are sharing thesemunication tailsmans", the expert observed calmly.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Wang Zhen gulped nervously after hearing the observation of the emperor realm expert. But he still managed to control himself and manufactured a lie immediately to get away from the expert.


    "Senior, you may not be aware but my Wang n currently is in a precarious position. There are very few Heavenly tribtion realm experts in my n and most of them are already at advanced age. So, the responsibility of entire n rests on our n head and on my shoulder.


    n head can''t receive the news about centralnd easily. So, I always share the news of importance with him time to time", Wang Zhen spoke. He tried his best to appear as normal as possible infront of the emperor realm expert.


    "I have no interest in your Wang n affair but I need to warn you first. Don''t ever think of doing anything stupid regarding the matters of Zhan Chen", the emperor realm expert spoke coldly. Wang Zhen nodded his head and assured the emperor that he had no evil thoughts about Zhan Chen. He exined that he was only curious about the inflow of spirit energy. So, he went towards Zhan Chen''s mountain to check what was happening.


    The emperor realm expert finally let go of Wang Zhen after hearing his words. No matter how suspicious Wang Zhen behaved, he was still an inner court elder of the Xuantian sect. So, the emperor couldn''t press him too much without any solid evidence.


    "Wang Zhen, I am warning you once again. Stay away from the matters of Zhan Chen as far as possible. His backers are not only limited to the Zhan n. Even the seniors in the ancestoral peak has shown great interest towards him. So, it will be in your interest if you don''t put your nose in Zhan Chen''s matters", the emperor spoke before flying away towards the distance. Wang Zhen finally took a breath of relief after seeing the emperor getting away from his ce.


    ''This ce is not safe anymore. I should get back to my cave first'', he thought to himself and flew back towards the opposite direction. His destination was the Earth peak where he cultivated regrly.


    Every cave alloted to inner court elders had protectiveyers of their own. These protective formations were generally ced for giving some privacy to the cave''s inhabitants.


    Even Zhan Chen''s cave had such protective arrangements. So, it was not surprising to see that Wang Zhen had such a cave for himself.


    Wang Zhen strode into his cave as soon as he reached the Earth peak. A hideous expression appeared on his face as he thought about his encounter with the tyrannical emperor.


    "Damn it! Even an old dog like zing sword is employed to protect that little pipsqueak. With such a tight security, it is impossible to do anything against the Zhan n brat", Wang Zhen muttered to himself with a frustrated expression on his face.


    He was just contemting how to bypass the securities of Zhan Chen when his eyes fell upon a corner of his cave. A look of disbelief appeared on his face after he saw the cultivator who was leaning calmly on a corner of his cave.


    "Zhan Chen!", the elder muttered the name with confusion and disbelief on his face. He couldn''t beleive that the pipsqueak he wanted to catch would appear inside his cave.

 Chapter 330 Undercurrents In The Central Land (2)

    "You seem to have an idea about me?", Zhan Chen looked calmly towards Wang Zhen. Ate Heavenly tribtion realm expert was of no concern to him. So, he actedpletely rxed and waited for the response from Wang Zhen.


    "Brat, I don''t know what evil trick you have used but it is a fact that you have arrived inside my cave. A Zhan n descendant is inside my Wang Zhen ''s residence. So, what better gift can I ask from the heaven?", Wang Zhen replied. There was a malevolent expression on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Seems like your Wang n and my Zhan n had a history between them. If that is the case, then I can understand your behaviour", Zhan Chen calmly spoke. There was no change of expression on his face even after he saw the hate and blood lust in Wang Zhen ''s eyes.


    "You understand! Someone from the Zhan n understands! Heh he he.....are you ridiculing my dead ancestors?", Wang Zhen retorted. His face seemed hideous with the amount of hate and blood lust, he was holding for Zhan Chen.


    "Brat, there is no need to worry. I can slowly make you understand the kind of rtionship my Wang n share with your Zhan n", Wang Zhen spoke. A glint appeared on his face as he pressed his soul consciousness towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen appeared calm even after he was pressed by ate Heavenly tribtion realm soul consciousness. He faced Wang Zhen with an indifferent attitude even though he was being attacked at this moment.


    "Evil brat! Don''t think a soul treasure can protect you from me. I will capture you and make you beg for forgiveness from my dead ancestors", Wang Zhen spoke.


    "You can try. It is perfect opportunity for me to check my fighting preparedness against a Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Over confident brat!", Wang Zhen roared out in anger after hearing the provocative words of Zhan Chen. He sent a punch towards Zhan Chen which was charged with essence energy.


    If it was any other ce, Zhan Chen could have dodged easily but the narrow walls of cave meant he had to fight the punch attack head on. He channeled his essence energy and a sharp sword like structure came out from his hand.


    Zhan Chen tilted his body and made the sword shaped energy sh with the punch. To the surprise of Wang Zhen, his attack was cut apart like a butter piece with Zhan Chen''s energy construct sword.


    "Sword intent! You can actually use sword intent at your age", Wang Zhen muttered with realisation. His eyes became more venomous as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t want to drag the fight longer. So, he dashed towards Wang Zhen. Before Wange Zhen could react, he had already closed the distance between them.


    Wang Zhen ''s eyes glowed ferociously as he threw a punch towards Zhan Chen''s face. His punch was glowing with faint yellow colour which showed his attribute as an earth element practitioner.


    Zhan Chen dodged the punch with an uncanny angle and struck the belly of Wang Zhen with his energy sword. Wang Zhen couldn''t beleive it as the energy sword stabbed through his belly and disturbed the energy flow inside his body.


    A line of blood came out from the corner of his lips as he stood shellshocked for a moment. He quickly get over his shock and tried to struck Zhan Chen with his other hand.


    Zhan Chen cleverly caught the wrist of Wang Zhen ''s hand and flung him far away. Wang Zhen collided with the cave wall and vomited a mouthful of blood.


    "Cunning brat, you have yet to see the full prowess of a Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator", Wang Zhen roared out in anger. He was feeling very frustrated because he couldn''t use the tribtion realm techniques inside his cave.


    Zhan Chen knew thepulsion of Wang Zhen. So, he tormented him for few moments more. Then he chose to stop the battle because it was no fun to toy with a sore loser.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Wang Zhen was about to lose his mind because of the humiliation he had felt. He was nning to go all out in the battle when Zhan Chen chose to stop.


    "Brat, no one can save you today", he roared angrily towards Zhan Chen. "I know that but opposite is true. Everything aside, I want to know your reason now? What is the past of my Zhan n with your Wang n?", he looked towards Wang Zhen.


    Wang Zhen wanted to retort but he stopped after seeing a glint in Zhan Chen''s eyes. His mind became muddled as he received a shock inside his soul.


    He went back normal within few moments but there was a subservient look on his face now when he looked towards Zhan Chen. "Master, please forgive this ve", he bowed towards Zhan Chen.


    "Tell me, what is your idea about me? The past between your Wang n and my Zhan n", Zhan Chen looked towards Wang Zhen.


    "Master, I am nning to send details about you and the mysterious treasure you are using to my n. Then I am preparing a n to catch you when you visit outside the sect with the help of my n members", Wang Zhen spoke.


    "What is the need to catch me? Is not the treasures with me will satisfy your greed?", Zhan Chen looked towards Wang Zhen.


    Master, you do not know. The biggest enemy of my Wang n is your Zhan n. Everyone in my n hates Zhan n members. There is so much hate that some elders propose to abduct senior Zhan Wu Li.


    "Fortunately, my n head is wise. Otherwise, there most be a devastating war, our n has to fight with the Xuantian sect experts", Wang Zhen spoke.


    "Your n even dare to eye my ancestor?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrows. The calmness in his eyes receded as anger rose in in his heart.


    "Describe what ever you know. Why your n is so hell bent on harming my Zhan n members?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Master, my Wang n was a prominent power in the Centralnd since ages. The appearance of Zhan n do not affect us anyway as we continue to flourish along with Zhan n and other powers of the centralnd.


    But Seven hundred years ago, my n got involved in a feud with your Zhan n. My Wang n along with few other ns make an conspiracy to wipe out Zhan n.


    Our n members killed a young group of Zhan n descendants when they are in a mission. They thought their involvement would not be found out but they were wrong. Doomsday arrived for my Wang n that day as Zhan n experts March towards our Wang n territory the same day.


    A river of blood flows that day. As almost, ten thousand members of my n and sub branches of my n got ughtered that day. The matter is still remembered in the Cloud province when Zhan n wiped out my Wang n from the face of the centralnd", Wang Zhen spoke.


    "My ancestors are indeed tyrannical but they are not unreasonable. They most have found out about your conspiracy with other powers to wipe out my n", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, I do not know. But since then the surviving members of my n hates Zhan n to the core. They are the happiest bunch in the world when Zhan n went to war with the Beitang imperial family four hundred years ago", Wang Zhen added.

 Chapter 331 Secret Of The Wang Clan

    "I don''t care how powerful your Wang n has be in these four hundred years but their fall is guaranteed if they dare to pick a fight with my Zhan n", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Master, let me talk with them. I am sure they will change their mind after learning about your true capabilities", Wang Zhen added. There was a pleading look on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "You care about your n so does I. I could have allowed you to reveal the truth about me if I am at the emperor realm. But currently with my low cultivation base, I can''t afford to have any of my secret leaks", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Tell me now, what is your n nning for us? Are they targeting only me or are they going to target even my big sis?", Zhan Chen looked towards Wang Zhen.


    "Master, I have yet to contact my n about the arrival of yours and your elder sister. I will follow your instruction whatever you want me to tell them", Wang Zhen replied.


    "I have yet to check the details about your Wang n. So, let me check your memories. It is important to know the capability of enemies before confronting them", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Wang Zhen nodded his head and didn''t resist when Zhan Chen''s soul consciousness approach his mind. A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he screened through the memories of Wang Zhen.


    "A hidden spatial crack!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself with an amazed look on his face. His curiousity increased as he looked through the memories of Wang Zhen in great details.


    "So, your n is really struggling to stand up after being defeated by my Zhan n. Few ancestors of your n ran from the Centralnd and ventured into the sea to protect their lives.


    But who would have think that they would find a spatial crack near the southern coast! No wonder your n has developed so much in these four hundred years", Zhan Chen looked towards Wang Zhen.


    Master, it is the most important secret of my n. Even I am not yet eligible to learn the location of the spatial crack. I have hear that there are numerous dangers and opportunities inside. But I have yet to visit that ce", Wang Zhen replied.


    "Generally spatial cracks are unstable in nature. But you n can somehow send emperor realm experts into the spatial crack. I have to learn the details when I visit your Wang n. But before that, I want you to maintain propermunication with your n. Inform me if there are any matters that may affect my Zhan n", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He bade farewell to Wang Zhen and left for his mountain. There was a visitor waiting for him when he walked upto the cave entrance.


    The visitor was a mature beauty who was standing outside his caveplex along with Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. Her eyes lit up when she noticed Zhan Chen climbing the mountain.


    Zhan Chen was already familiar with the beauty. She was Liu Hua, an inner court elder whom he had met during his visit to the treasure hall of the Xuantian sect.


    "Miss Hua, apology for the dy. It is nice to see you visiting my humble abode. If you don''t mind, we can go inside and have a good chat with eachother", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Girls, let''s go inside. Miss Liu Hua is an inner court elder. So, we should show her proper courtesy", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Young master, we have already greeted the senior. We are waiting here because we are worried about you", Li Shu spoke.


    ------------------


    "Zhan Chen, I don''t know why but I wanted to see you since you have left the treasure hall", Liu Hua spoke after sitting across Zhan Chen inside a room. Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min had already went back to their own rooms for cultivation. So, she had no qualms in talking about her feeling to Zhan Chen.


    "Miss Hua, I have already told you that you are my woman. So, what is there to think about?", Zhan Chen replied with a smile on his face. The confession of Liu Hua was not a strange urence for him because she was afficted with Soul seed technique of his own. The more she thought about him, the great the impact of soul seed technique would be on her mind and heart.


    "Zhan Chen, what should I do now? I can''t do anything except thinking about you in these past few days", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Be a good girl infront of your husband and I promise there will be no problems like this", Zhan Chen replied with an evil grin on his face. Liu Hua ''s face finally became reddened after hearing the meaningful words of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, please be serious. Being a husband and wife is no joking matter. What will others say if theye to know that you have choosen such an elderly woman like me?", Liu Hua spoke. Her concern was genuine as she had thought about the possible scenarios that would emerge if she agreed to be Zhan Chen''s woman.


    "Miss Hua, stand up", Zhan Chen stared straight towards Liu Hua. She felt confused but she couldn''t disobey Zhan Chen''s words. She stood up and looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion on her face.


    "Now, lie down on my things. I will make you understand why I want to take you as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Hua felt perplexed as Zhan Chen''s request was too audacious. She looked towards Zhan Chen in confusion but all her resistance went away after her eyes met with Zhan Chen''s own.


    There was a certain kind of hypnotic charm in Zhan Chen''s eyes which pulled her towards him. Zhan Chen picked her up and ced her body gently on his thighs.


    Her belly was ced on top of his loin. So, she could feel a faint heat despiteyers of clothes in between their skins.


    A certain inexplicable feeling came to her heart as she lied like this. There was anticipation and eagerness in her heart as she waited for Zhan Chen''s next action.


    Zhan Chen ced his hand directly on her buttocks and groped them gently. An electric jolt ran down through Liu Hua ''s spine as Zhan Chen massaged one of her most sensitive part.


    Zhan Chen gradually moved towards her thighs and massaged them using his skills. A look of enjoyment appeared on Liu Hua ''s face as she felt Zhan Chen''s hand all over her body. Zhan Chen stirred her body slowly and gently and Liu Hua started to moan.


    She finally couldn''t control herself when Zhan Chen touched her sensual nerves around her feet. Her eyes misted up slightly as a pool of water gathered in herher garden. She wanted to stop Zhan Chen but couldn''t voice her words. Finally, with the stirring of Zhan Chen''s expert hands, she released her holy water drenching her own clothes.

 Chapter 332 Taking The Help Of Fu Deming

    "How are you feeling now?", Zhan Chen asked Liu Hua as she was still lying on his thighs now. There was a big blush on her face as she didn''t want to face Zhan Chen at such an embarassing moment.


    "Miss Hua, you behave like a charming witch outside but inwardly you are such a shy and beautiful girl. Moreover, you have such a great body. So, ofcourse I am attracted to you. I need women because I am a dual cultivator beside being a sword cultivator. So, it is natural that I will be interested in taking a beauty like you as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Now, tell me whether you like me or not. I am very much interested in making you my woman. So, It will be upto you if you ept my proposal or not", he further added.


    Liu Hua didn''t respond immediately after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. He lied down on Zhan Chen''s thighs for few moments before getting up to sit beside Zhan Chen. There was a shy appearance on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I have thought I will not take a man in my entire life. I am already at Heavenly tribtion realm. So, my sole aspiration was to reach emperor realm and protect the Xuantian sect like the other seniors are doing. But now, I think I have to change my n", Liu Hua spoke slowly. There was deep emotion andplication on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Why are you so burdened with your duty for the Xuantian sect? I can tell that you are more than dedicated for Xuantian sect''s cause", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua with curiousity on his face.


    "I have no one else besides the Xuantian sect. My childhood, my entire life everything is filled with the memories of the sect. As an orphan, the Xuantian sect is the only ce which I could call home. So, it is only natural that I want to protect the ce which is so close to my heart", Liu Hua replied.


    "Who would have thought that behind your charming facade, you are such an emotional girl actually! The true reason for your emotional side is because you are actually very lonely in your life", Zhan Chen observed.


    He pulled Liu Hua close with his hands and kissed her gently. Liu Hua started to respond on her own after learning the trick from Zhan Chen.


    Liu Hua was more passionate than Zhan Chen had thought. Both of them kissed eachother for more than fifteen minutes before Liu Hua was willing to stop.


    "Zhan Chen, thank you. I have never thought that I will feel so content in my entire life. I am epting your proposal and I will not me you even if you change your mind one day. This moment, I will treasure it for my entire life", Liu Hua spoke. She has a look of gratitude and attachment on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Beauty, you are burdened with too much thoughts. It will be better if I introduce to you with my other women. Together, you will feel less lonely and be cheerful once again", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Are you talking about those three little girls?", Liu Hua asked Zhan Chen as she thought about Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    "Those three are my women but I have other women also. I will introduce them to you once I get an opportunity", Zhan Chen replied.


    Liu Hua bade her farewell as she had her duty to look after the treasure hall. Zhan Chen didn''t stop her because he had matters of more importance in his hand.


    ------------------<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Little brat, why are you here?", Zhan Wu Li floated out from a mountain after Zhan Chen approached the beautiful mountain where she stayed along with Fu Deming.


    ? "Greetings ancestor", Zhan Chen bowed towards Zhan Wu Li. Fu Deming also showed up after few moments when he noticed Zhan Chen with his soul consciousness. Zhan Chen greeted him and spoke the intention behind his visit.


    "Senior, I need your help. It may take few of your days but I have no choice other choice thaning to you", Zhan Chen looked towards Fu Deming.


    "Little brat, what is it that senior brother can help and I can''t?", Zhan Wu Li interjected from the side. She had a questioning look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Ancestor, you can also help but it will be better if senior Deming willing to help me out. The matter is rted to my spiritual cultivation. The spiritual energy fluctuation is attracting the attention of nearby experts. So, I wish to take help of Senior ''s aura and save myself from disturbances while cultivating", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Your spiritual energy cultivation is attracting the attention of others?", Zhan Wu Li felt confused after hearing the exnation of Zhan Chen. ording to her knowledge, such a cultivation was very difficult and time consuming because no formation grandmaster could absorb spiritual energy at a faster pace. They had to absorb little by little if they wanted to increase their spiritual strength.


    "Ancestor, my cultivation is slightly different. I have discovered recently that I have a good affinity with spiritual energy of heaven and earth. So, I can attract more spiritual energypared to other formation grand masters", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Fu Deming agreed to help after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. He bade farewell to Zhan Wu Li and left the mountain along with Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, where are you going to cultivate?", Fu Deming asked.


    ''Senior, I have been cultivating since thest time we met. But today, there is some disturbance. So, I have to stop my cultivation halfway", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Who is creating the disturbance?", Fu Deming asked with a frown on his face. The cultivation of Zhan Chen was matter of great importance for the Zhan n and the Xuantian sect. So, he immediately paid attention after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Senior, there are few seniors but they are not intentionally disturbing me. They gathered in my ce only because of their curiousity", Zhan Chen yed down the incident. He didn''t want Fu Deming to go after his newly acquired ve.


    "Well then, I will not pursue them this time but they will not get away if they dare to cause trouble at your ce once again", Fu Deming spoke.


    Zhan Chen climbed to the highest ce of his mountain after getting back. He sat cross legged and resumed his cultivation at the same ce where he was cultivating earlier. He established connection with heaven and earth quickly and started to absorb the spirit energy once again.


    The mysterious diagram in his soul got activated on it''s own and it started to pull the spirit energy from the surrounding area.

 Chapter 333 Disclosing His Secret

    "Amazing! How can he attract such thick spiritual energy despite being only a formation grandmaster?", Fu Deming wondered to himself. There was a look of disbelief and amazement on his face as he observed Zhan Chen.


    Spiritual energy in the surrounding continued to increase as Zhan Chen kept cultivating. The mysterious diagram on his soul operated on it''s own and it attracted a steady inflow of spiritual energy from the nearby areas.


    Fu Deming rmed by the continued increment of the spiritual energy and opened up his soul consciousness. He covered a vast area in the surrounding with his soul consciousness and isted it from other expert''s soul perception. It meant no expert could see through the changes in Zhan Chen''s mountain unless he had a higher cultivation than Fu Deming''s own.


    Fu Deming was beleived to be one of the most powerful experts of the Xuantian sect. So, there was no chance that someone would disturb Zhan Chen while Fu Deming was protecting him.


    Zhan Chen cultivated without any misgivings and the size ofthe spiritual energy reservoir inside his mind gradually increased. The thickness of the spiritual energy continued to increase and it was almost like a dense cloud after Zhan Chen cultivated for four days straight.


    Fu Deming was already shocked to the core after observing Zhan Chen for one day. So, he didn''t think much and let Zhan Chen cultivate in peace.


    Zhan Chen cultivated for another day and half and his spiritual river finally reachedpletion. Fu Deming who was meditating in a distance shifted his eyes towards him after noticing the gradual reduction of the spiritual energy in the surrounding.


    Zhan Chen meditated for another half an hour and finally opened his eyes. There was a certain calm and depth in his eyes which suprised Fu Deming.


    "Zhan Chen, it is impossible to see through your cultivation but I can tell that you have improved a lot in these few days. If everything goes well, then you may reach the realm of formation king very quickly", Fu Deming spoke.


    "Senior, thank you for your assistance. To reach the formation king realm, I do not need any further cultivation because I am already there in these few days of my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What! Do you know what are you speaking? It is impossible to reach formation king at your age unless you are one of those fabled monsters from the immortal world", Fu Deming blurted out. There was a look of disbelief on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen waspletely calm even after hearing Fu Deming ''s word. He looked towards Fu Deming''s eyes and a shocked expression appeared on the face of peak emperor realm expert.


    "You canunch spiritual attack? How is this possible?", Fu Deming looked towards Zhan Chen as if he was seeing a monster. Nothing in his life had surprised him so much that Zhan Chen had shown within few moments.


    "Senior, reaching the formation king realm was only a step towards realising my goals. I must continue relentlessly if I want to protect my n from unforeseen dangers", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Brat, I have no words to describe your achievement. But it is heartening to see that you have such dedication towards your n. But talent often brings misfortune. So, you most say cautious. Don''t unt your status as a formation king infront of anyone. Otherwise, there will be deadly danger which you can never imagine in your life", Fu Deming spoke.


    "Senior, thank you for your reminder. I will be cautious so as not to expose my status as a formation king. I also request senior to not discuss my secret infront of other experts. I want to mask my cultivation untill I improve my basic cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You don''t have to worry about it. There will be no problem from my side. Junior sister Wu Li and my support is always with you. You can look for us if you need any such help in the future", Fu Deming replied in return. He gave few more advices to Zhan Chen and bade his farewell.<novelnext></novelnext>


    -----------------


    "It is unavoidable this time. I can fool others easily but I can''t do the same with ancestor Wu Li and senior Deming. Both are my wellwishers. So, it does not matter if they learn few of my secrets in advance", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He walked towards his cave and spread his soul consciousness to check what Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min were doing. "It is good to see that all of them are doing their best to increase their cultivation but unfortunately, I have to disturb them for a while", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    None of three girls were in a deep cultivation state. So, it became easy for Zhan Chen to wake them up from their cultivation state.


    "Good morning everyone. Sorry for disturbing you like this", Zhan Chen gave an apologetic look to Kai Min, Li Yan and Li Shu.


    "Young master, what is the matter? Do you need us sisters to do anything for you?", Kai Min asked. Li Shu and Li Yan also looked towards Zhan Chen with curiousity on their faces as it was unusual for Zhan Chen to disturb them while they were cultivating.


    "Everyone, my sole focus after arriving in the Xuantian sect is to improve my cultivation. For that, I am nning to arrange a sky grade formation in this cave.


    I have already brought the spirit materials from the treasure hall. My spiritual strength has also improved in these few days. So, all I need to do now is to arrange that formation. There may be disturbances while arranging the sky grade formation. So, I have decided to stop all of you from cultivating", Zhan Chen replied.


    "A sky grade formation!", Li Yan looked towards Zhan Chen with shock in her eyes but she didn''t ask anything as Zhan Chen pulling up miracle was not a new thing for her. Same was true for both Li Shu and Kai Min as both the girls didn''t ask anything to Zhan Chen. They decided to remain in the side and observe Zhan Chen while he arrange the sky grade formation.


    ''Extreme yang jade''


    ''Pure moon crystal''


    ''Water mirror stone''


    ''Abyss earth liquid''


    ''Heart illumination stone''


    ''wood spirit ore'', Zhan Chen took out the spirit materials one by one. Li Shu could identify few spirit materials that Zhan Chen had taken out and a surprised expression appeared on her pretty looking face.


    ''That shiny thing most probably a pure moon crystal. I wonder from which ce young master found such a valuable material'', she thought to herself.

 Chapter 334 A Sky Grade Formation

    "Young master, which formation you are nning to arrange?", Li Shu asked curiously after seeing the spirit materials that Zhan Chen had taken out from his spatial ring.


    "The name of this formation is ''Nine revolution origin formation''. This is aplex formation but once I manage to arrange it, it will increase my proficiency in formation and help us all with increasing our cultivation levels", Zhan Chen replied.


    He sat cross legged and started to cultivate. He operated the Celestial yinyang Sutra and pushed his body and mind towards the optimum level.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min waited patiently and observed Zhan Chen while he was cultivating peacefully. Zhan Chen opened his eyes after a while and focused his eyes on the six spirit materials.


    He took out a formation pen from his spatial ring and picked the wood spirit ore out of the six spirit materials. The ore was only the size of a fist but Zhan Chen was able to carve countless tiny symbols on the body of the wood spirit ore. Compared to the previous two formations that he had arranged, the current formation he was nning to arrange was more profound. So, he was extremely careful and carved the divine symbols on the wood spirit ore with extreme details. He took a while to finish his carving and the first sized wood spirit ore was glowing with innumerable tiny symbols.


    Zhan Chen picked up the Extreme yang jade next. He gave the same careful attention to the rectangr jade and the body of Extreme yang jade was filled with countless miniature symbols by the time he finished carving on the rectangr jade.


    Zhan Chen picked up the other four spirit materials one by one and carved divine symbols on them with extreme attention and precision. The spiritual energy draining was enormous but he was able to bear the burdeon because of the energy avable in his spiritual river.


    Such aplex undertaking was impossible if he was still at the level of a formation grandmaster. That''s why, he remained stubborn and even took the help of Fu Deming to reach the level of a formation king.


    Zhan Chen took a breath in relief after carving all the six spirit materials. He adjusted his breath for few moments and closed his eyes.


    All the six spirit materials came under his spiritual perception and he wrapped the spirit materials with his spiritual energy. Then with a thought of his mind, the six spirit materials flew away towards different directions.


    Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min were visibly stunned as the deeds of Zhan Chen was an unthinkable performance infront of them. They watched with amazement as the six spirit materials reached six different locations of the main hall.


    The three girls didn''t have any inkling about how profound the position of six spirit materials were, otherwise they would have immediately point out after seeing the six spirit materials in two intersecting reverse mountain formations.


    Zhan Chen channeled more spiritual energy and the six spirit materials went towards the ground. Then infront of the dumbfounded expressions of the three girls, the six spirit materials sank into the hard rock surface and disappeared. There were small holes on the rock surface initially but the adjacent corners of the rock surface moved on their own and the holes were closed within few moments.


    Zhan Chen didn''t open his eyes even after cing the six spirit materials in their appropriate position. He had already initiated theyout of the formation but the most important step still remained. The true difference between an earth grade formation and the sky grade formation was the involvement of the heavenlyws in the manifestation of the formation.


    For the execution of the step, there was no need for one toprehend theplex heavenlyws. But a formation expert most establish a connection with the heaven for the sessful activation of a sky grade formation that he was carving.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Zhan Chen entered into a deep meditation after cing the six spirit materials in their appropriate positions. His spiritual perception waspletely open and he tried to establish a connection with the heaven while observing it''s countless ethereal elemental strands.


    Elemental strands were visible and of various colours but there was something more ethereal hiding beyond them. It was the profoundws which govern everything in between heaven and earth.


    One begets two, two begets three and three begets all the things. One represented the source of origin, two represented yin and yang and three represented the three cardinal supremews which govern everything in the heaven and earth. The three supremews were spatialw, temporalw andw of creation. Every elementalw were subordinate to them and together they ensured the function of heaven and earth.


    Zhan Chen had acquired this knowledge from ''the profound art of dual cultivation'' book that his teacher had left for him in the space of mysterious diagram. He tried to realise the subtle meaning behind this knowledge during his bid to connect with the heavenlyws.


    His mind gradually sank deeper and deeper into heavenlyws as he pondered about the knowledge he had got from the profound art of dual cultivation book. One begets two, two begets three and three begets all the thing.....,


    he pondered about it and gradually he entered into a state of cultivation where he was cut off from the surrounding.


    It was some sort of enlightenment as Zhan Chen realised he had understood something. But what was it actually, he couldn''t tell. Beneath the veils of colourful elementalws, Zhan Chen started to see few ethereal strands. They were so ellusive that he had to give great attention just for to see them.


    Every elementalws of the heaven and earth existed as these strands. The divine symbols that the formation masters use were derived from these colourful strands. Beyond the elementalws, what existed was the three supremews. Zhan Chen didn''t know that what he waw getting into was most difficult and powerful supremews.


    He was in a state of enlightenment. So, he didn''t know that his spiritual strength was depleting at a very faster rate. Seeing what existed beyond the elementalws was an act what most formation emperors couldn''t do. Zhan Chen was somehow lucky because he had the mysterious diagram with him.


    The mysterious diagram activated on it''s own when Zhan Chen depleted most of his spiritual energy. It provided a gentle stream of stream of spiritual energy to Zhan Chen''s body and Zhan Chen used it unconsciously while trying to see through the ellusive strands which lied beyond the elementalws.


    Unlike the elements, the three supremews had no specific expression. There was no specific colour attributed to them. One could only feel them as they existed as the most etherealws governing the function of heaven and earth.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know that he had entered into a state of selflessness which was craved by all the cultivators who wanted to feel the heavenly way. Such a state was so rare that even he had attained such a state only two times in his previous life.


    The three girls became worried after seeing Zhan Chen in such a deep cultivation. All of them went outside to ensure that no visitor would disturb Zhan Chen during such a deep cultivation.


    A little girl appeared in the main hall after Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min went outside. There was amazement in her eyes as she observed Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 335 Unusual State Of Zhan Chen

    Long Xinyu waspletely stunned after seeing Zhan Chen like this. Others may not understand but she knew how significant was such a cultivation state for a cultivator.


    She could clearly feel that Zhan Chen waspletely sync with the surrounding at this moment. His breath waspletely even and the energy flow waspletely steady which indicated how synchronous was Zhan Chen with the surrounding at this moment.


    Long Xinyu blushed a little after observing Zhan Chen for a while. ''What is he even thinking? Entering such a cultivation state without any protection! If someone disturbs him at this moment, then he may face a severe bacsh'', she thought to herself. She decided to guard Zhan Chen while Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min were looking out for any disturbance at the outside of the cave.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know sublime changes were happening to his soul at this moment. The changes were very subtle but it was pushing him out of the boundary of the sage realm at this moment.


    Generally, increasing the soul energy while cultivating the spirit energy was only a myth. In theory it was possible but none of the current age cultivators could pull up such a stunning feat.


    Spirit energy cultivation was itself a very difficult process. Even formation emperors found it difficult to find a connection with the heavenly ways most of the time. That''s why there was such a low number of sky grade formation and heaven grade formations exist in the Northern desert continent.


    Most of the formation experts had to meditate for months before they could find a connection with the heavenlyws. Such an connection was very ethereal and fleeting. So, all of them were cautious enough to not waste such a chance and quickly guide a trace ofw to activate the formation they wereying. As for what Zhan Chen was doing, it was inconceivable for most of them.


    Zhan Chen didn''t realise that he was cultivating for twelve days straight at this moment. For him, it was only some instances while he was trying to see through the ethereal strands which lied beyond the colourful strands of elements.


    Finally, he could establish a connection with one of the ethereal strands. There were innumerable divine symbols on it but Zhan Chen could see only few symbols associated with it.


    Long Xinyu was feeling bored after guarding for such a long time. But her attention immediately went towards Zhan Chen after she noticed a changeing from Zhan Chen''s surrounding.


    Her mouth hanged open after she saw what the changes was all about. It was because she noticed spatial fluctuationsing from the ce where Zhan Chen was sitting.


    Zhan Chen found it hard to continue after observing few divine symbols with extreme difficulty. He felt his mind was bing heavy. So, he decided to quit. He guided his connection with the three ethereal strands into the formation before opening his eyes.


    The Nine revolution origin formation came into life after Zhan Chen established a connection with the heavenly ways. A smile appeared on his face as he felt the changesing from the formation. He turned his head towards Long Xinyu after seeing her staring towards him like a fool.


    ? "Little girl, what is the matter?", he asked Long Xinyu with a smile on his face.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You! Have you finished your cultivation?", Long Xinyu asked after doing her best to suppress the surprise she was feeling at this moment.


    "Cultivation! I am not doing any cultivation. I amying a formation which is very important for my future cultivation", Zhan Chen replied after hearing the inquiry about his cultivation. ording to him, establishing a connection with the heavenly way couldn''t bepared to a cultivation session.


    "If you are not cultivating, then what takes you so long? I am guarding you since the past twelve days", Long Xinyu spoke immediately after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. There was a confused expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I have been cultivating forst twelve days?", Zhan Chen asked Long Xinyu for reconfirmation after hearing her words. There was a baffled expression on his face as he couldn''t understand, how he cultivated for a such a long time.


    Li Shu entered inside the cave at the very moment to check on Zhan Chen. She also asked the same question as Long Xinyu after seeing Zhan Chening out of his cultivation state.


    Zhan Chen finally came into terms with his long meditation period after hearing the confirmation from Li Shu. He also realised that his soul had somehow changed miraculously after he meditated for twelve days. ''It is incredible. My soul is already at the halfway mark for the realm that lied beyond the sage realm'', he thought to himself.


    "Ok girls, we can talkter. I have yet to give the finishing touch to the formation that I have been arranging", he spoke to Long Xinyu and Li Shu.


    He once again closed his eyes after speaking with Li Shu and Long Xinyu. He released his spiritual perception and covered all the points of the formation with his spiritual energy.


    The formation was already connected with the heavenlyws. So, it was already flooding with the spiritual energy from the environment. He didn''t have to use his own spiritual energy while drawing the connection between all the six cores of the formation.


    The illusory lines that connected the cores wereplex but Zhan Chen managed to draw them with ease. There was a detailed exnation regarding all the steps of the formation in the profound art of dual cultivation book. So, he didn''t face any difficulty while drawing thoseplex lines.


    An illusory yinyang diagram appeared in the main hall after Zhan Chen gave the final touch to the formation. The Nine revolution origin formation roared into action and it started to modify the essence energy inside his cave.


    "What is this formation?", Long Xinyu eximed with surprise after seeing the visible changes in the surrounding. Li Yan and Kai Min also entered inside the cave after sensing the palpable changes in the outside area.


    "It is the Nine revolution origin formation. As the name suggests it can convert all energy into their origin, the yin and the yang", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 336 Strange Incident In The Earth Province

    "Gulu!", Zhan Chen was talking about the formation when the rumbling sound of stomach rang in the main hall of the cave. Everyone present including Zhan Chen turned to look towards the perpetrator but Long Xinyu was nowhere to be seen. She had already escaped in embarassment after her stomach made a sound.


    Zhan Chen recalled the plight of Long Xinyu after hearing the rumbling of her stomach. She had already requested him to find food for her when they were in the Longyang city. Now, so many days had passed by. So, it was natural that Long Xinyu would feel hungry after such a longer wait.


    Generally, human emperors could go on for years without eating anything but Long Xinyu was different. Although she had an adorable and pretty looking appearance, she was an dragon through and through. And ording to somemon knowledge about the dragons, they were required to eat spiritual food time to time.


    Spiritual herbs were also considered as their foods. But ording to Zhan Chen''s knowledge, no dragon would choose to chew leaves unless they were starving to death.


    Dragons were natural predators of magical beasts and humans alike. Paired with their ferocious nature, they hunt other species when they need any sorts of food for their cultivation. Zhan Chen was well aware about the habit of dragons. So, he felt guilty about Long Xinyu. He had inned kept her waiting while preparing for his own cultivation.


    "Little girl,e out. We need to talk. I need to know what kind of meat you like unless I bring something inedible for you and youinter", Zhan Chen spoke. He waited for a while and Long Xinyu finally shown herself. There was a big blush on her lovely face as she tried to avoid looking at Zhan Chen.


    Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min smiled softly after seeing the blush on Long Xinyu ''s face. They didn''t want to make her ufortable. So, they retired to their own cave rooms.


    Long Xinyu finally felt slightly morefortable after everyone left. She gathered her courage and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little girl, I am sorry. I have issued mission for the meat of the magical beasts in the mission hall but I don''t know why they have not delivered it yet", Zhan Chen spoke. He inquired the type of food Long Xinyu would like to have before leaving the cave.


    -------------------


    "Why have not you sent the meat of the magical beasts yet?", Zhan Chen asked to Nu Quang after meeting him in person. There was a big frown on his face because he felt Nu Quang let him down.


    "Zhan Chen, I have wanted to meet you but I have heard that you are in seclusion. So, I have decided to wait untill youe out of the seclusion", Nu Quang replied.


    "What happened?", Zhan Chen looked towards Nu Quang. Seeing from Nu Quang''s facial expression, he could tell that there was some sort of problems.


    "I have issued the mission to gather the meat of magical beasts in the mission hall. Few of the tribtion realm elders are interested but all of them have to be disappointed because there are no fifth tier magical beasts avable in the nearby forests.


    Due to some odd reasons, all the higher tier magical beasts have disappeared from the surrounding. I have inquired with other powers and they are also saying the same. Currently, the nearby forests only have magical beasts upto fourth tier", Nu Quang spoke.


    "Strange! What could be the reason?", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. Such an uring was not normal. So, it forced him to ponder for a moment.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Currently the matter is being investigated by all the sects of the Earth province. I will inform you if there are any lead regarding this matter", Nu Quang spoke.


    "Well then, I will wait for your information. I am transferring all my sect contribution points to you. I want you to buy the spiritual herbs required for concoction. You can pick any pill from the Blue mission book and send me it''s ingredients. Remember, I want only the assignment of grade six pills", Zhan Chen spoke to Nu Quang before bading his farewell.


    There was a thoughtful look on his face as he made his way towards his cave. ''All the magical beasts vanishing, it is not a natural thing. There most be some reason behind it. There most be a peak magical beast who has intervened or some sect is plotting something behind the back of other sects of the Earth province'', he thought to himself.


    Long Xinyu appeared in the main hall as soon as Zhan Chen entered his cave. There was a hopeful look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt guilty after seeing her like this. She may be an emperor but it was also a fact that she was only a little dragon at her growing stage. No matter how she imed herself to be an adult, Zhan Chen would not buy her logic unless she saw the maturity of an adult.


    Zhan Chen exined her about the peculiar situation surrounding the higher tier magical beasts. Long Xinyu nodded her head in understanding after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "I am sure that it is not the doing of any magical beasts. We magical beasts are not that crafty like you humans. We believe more in our strength unlike the shady methods of humans", shemented after hearing the exnation from Zhan Chen.


    "It seems like you have some prejudice towards humans", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu with curiousity on his face. He wanted to know why the little dragon had such a bad impression about humans.


    "My grandfather and mother has always warned me against mingling with humans. They always give the example how humans in the immortal world are always fighting against eachother. They are ughtering their own on a daily basis just for some stupid treasures.


    Compared to them, our Beast region can be called peaceful because we beasts do not kill one of our own tribe unless there was a good reason. Magical beasts fight often but it was not like treachery and conspiracies of humans", Long Xinyu spoke.


    "Girl, if you are warned about evil humans, then why do youe with me? What if I am also an evil human like others?", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu.


    "You are different from others. You are a descendant of the holy tree and I have a feeling that I can trust you. Moreover, I have no problem even if you are evil because I have my grandpa. He will immediately know if there is some danger surrounding me. I know he must be growing frantic after I have escaped", Long Xinyu spoke. There was a yful expression appeared on her face when she thought about her old grandpa.


    "What if your grandpa knows that you are in danger? ording to my knowledge, those of the immortal world can''t intervene in the lower world matters because the lower world rejects their presence", Zhan Chen decided to tease Long Xinyu a little. But her reply made him speechless for a while.


    "Yes, it is difficult if grandpa wants to enter this world but he can always send experts of our dragon tribe. ording to my knowledge there are thousands of such dragons who has cultivation level at eightth tier of mortal realm. If you include the lesser dragons then the numbers of experts will multiply", Long Xinyu spoke. There was a defiant look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    ''Thousands of eightth tier magical beasts! Moreover all of them are dragons'', Zhan Chen guped a little in fright after thinking about such a catastrophic force. Even with all of his might, he would never think about facing thousands of dragons who were equal to sage realm experts in the lower world.

 Chapter 337 An Arrangement For Long Xinyu

    "Ok, little girl, I am frightened now. You most have a huge backing in the immortal world", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ofcourse, I have my grandpa and mother to look after me. You can take my help whenever you face any problem in the immortal realm", Long Xinyu replied while cing both of her hands on her waist. She now had a somewhat pleased expression after Zhan Chen admitted his defeat.


    "Well, I admit that you are mighty and your backing is powerful. I will take your help after reaching the immortal world", Zhan Chen spoke with an amused expression on his face.


    "I can help you but in one condition. You have to agree to my condition before talking about any help", Long Xinyu spoke while wagging her finger infront of Zhan Chen.


    "What condition?", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu with curiousity on his face.


    "You have to stop calling me little girl. I am no little. I am already at the seventh tier what you lower world cultivators call emperor realm", Long Xinyu spoke. There was an aggrieved expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "What shall I call you then? After meeting you for the first time, I found the word little girl more apt for you", Zhan Chen added.


    "You can call me Long Xinyu or miss Xinyu if you want. But there is no way, I want to be called little girl", Long Xinyu spoke. She had a bossy expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Well then, I shall call you Long Xinyu then", Zhan Chen spoke. He had a smile on his face after seeing the antics of the little dragon.


    "Gulu", another rumbling sound came from the stomach of Long Xinyu while she was talking with Zhan Chen. Her face becamepletely reddened after the mighty image she was trying to build up, shattered in an instant. She threw a ming look towards Zhan Chen and immediately vanished from the main hall. Zhan Chen was sure that she had escaped to her room.


    "The formation has already started and I should cultivate now. But before thinking about my cultivation, I have to arrange something for the little dragon", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He left the main hall and dashed towards the Earth peak of the Xuantian sect. His aim was to meet Wang Zhen whom he recently made his ve.


    Wang Zhen knew about Zhan Chen''s arrival through their soul link. He came outside of his cave to greet Zhan Chen.


    He was trying to bow but Zhan Chenmanded him to stop. "Let''s talk inside", he spoke and entered the cave of Wang Zhen.


    "Greetings master, do you need something?", Wang Zhen asked after bowing properly. He had a respectful look on his face as he waited for Zhan Chen''s response.


    "I have heard that higher tier magical beasts have disappeared suddenly from the Earth province. I have a need for fifth tier magical beast''s meat but I couldn''t ess them through the mission hall at this moment. So, I want you to visit other province and bring fifth tier magical beast meat with you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ok master, I will bring fifth tier magical beast meat from other provinces. But can I ask something? What kind of magical beast meat master want to have?", he looked towards Zhan Chen.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Bring whatever animal or bird you want but they most not be very coarse. Also I do not need the meat of magical beasts'' who are very old", Zhan Chen spoke. He left the cave of Wang Zhen after meeting him. His next destination was treasure hall where he could meet with Liu Hua.


    It had been days since hest saw her and he was nning to take her help in improving his cultivation. She had already epted him as her man. So, he had no qualm in taking her help to improve his cultivation.


    Liu Hua became pleasantly surprised after seeing Zhan Chen. A red blush appeared on her face after she saw the heated gaze in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Beauty, how have you been?", Zhan Chen asked Liu Hua after taking a good look at her. Liu Hua felt embarassed because Zhan Chen was teasing her in open daylight in the treasure hall.


    "Zhan Chen, shall we go somewhere else? I can give the responsibility of the treasure hall to one of my subordinates if you want. But I can''t be far away for long", Liu Hua asked. Zhan Chen gave his affirmation and Liu Hua left the treasure hall along with him. Her subordinate was a mature looking women with a cultivation of Martial ascension realm. She had a curious expression on her face as she saw her beloved elder leaving with Zhan Chen.


    "Have you finished your cultivation?", Liu Hua asked while she was flying with Zhan Chen. She was helping Zhan Chen to leviate in the air with her essence energy and together they were flying towards his cave. Zhan Chen could himself fly in the air with his Martial ascension realm cultivation but he was hiding his cultivation from the experts of the Xuantian sect for his own convenience.


    "Yes, I havepleted my cultivation and it is a fruitful one. I have also already arranged the grand formation that I have been been nning all along", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You can arrange formation?", Liu Hua looked towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous expression on her face.


    "Ofcourse, I can. You can see for yourself after we arrive at my cave", Zhan Chen replied.


    Liu Hua became curious after hearing Zhan Chen''s response. Her curiousity increased after she sensed the subtle changes outside Zhan Chen''s cave.


    "What kind of formation have you build up? It is gathering the essence energy from the outside environment streadily", Liu Hua looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is called Nine revolution origin formation. It''s true property can be observed once you ess the center of the formation", Zhan Chen replied. He invited Liu Hua to enter his cave and together both of them came to the main hall of the cave.


    A stunned expression appeared on the face of Liu Hua after she saw the true function of the Nine revolution origin function. She could tell that the formation was converting the essence energy into purest form of yin and yang energy.


    "Such pure yin energy! But it is a pity that I am not a yin energy cultivator. I can absorb a little bit but too much of these will obstruct my cultivation", shemented. There was a deep curiousity on her face as she observed the formation with extreme details.


    "It is a sky grade formation!", she eximed after observing the formation for a while. She needed some time to tell because no one could tell the grade of the formation after seeing the gentle energy flow around it.


    She could only guess the grade of the formation after carefully observing the formation. There was a subtle connection with the heavenlyws but no one could notice it without examining the formation in extreme details.

 Chapter 338 Imparting The Yin Nourishment Technique

    "Who said that you can''t cultivate the yin energy? I am a dual cultivator myself. So, it will be strange if my woman can''t cultivate the yin energy to improve her cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke after hearing the murmuring of Liu Hua.


    "You have a way to help me cultivate yin energy?", Liu Hua looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Ofcourse, I have a way. Open your soul barrier for a moment. You will understand after I transfer the Yin nourishment technique to you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Hua felt surprised after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Opening soul barrier meant exposing everything about her infront of Zhan Chen. But she still didn''t hesitate much and let go of her soul barrier.


    Zhan Chen ced his hand on her head and transferred the Yin nourishment technique. He gave her some time to study the technique while she went to look for Long Xinyu.


    "Long Xinyu,e out. I have a news for you", Zhan Chen called before the room which the little dragon had upied. He had to wait for few minutes and Long Xinyu finally shown herself. She avoided looking at Zhan Chen because she was still feeling shy about the rumbling of her stomach.


    "Little girl, look at me. There is no need to feel shy", Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her behaviour. He felt it unusual for a lively girl like Long Xinyu to act so reserved.


    "I have already reminded you to not call me little girl. You can call me Long Xinyu like the previous time you have called me", Long Xinyu finally chose to speak. Her shyness aside, she felt ufortable when Zhan Chen called her little girl.


    "I have sent someone to fetch fifth tier magical beast meat for you. I will inform you once hee back. I will also advice you to note to the main hall. Whatever happens there from now on will be the matter of adults", Zhan Chen spoke. Long Xinyu''s face reddened after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. "Shameless", she retorted shyly and fled into her room. Zhan Chen chuckled after hearing the sharp retort from Long Xinyu. He shook his head and walked back to the main hall.


    Liu Hua was still studying the Yin nourishment technique when Zhan Chen got back to the main hall. There was a look of amazement on her face as she saw through the intricacies of the technique.


    "Zhan Chen, where did you get this technique from?", she asked Zhan Chen after seeing him walking towards her. There was a curious look on her as she looked towards him.


    "Beauty, it is part of my inheritance which I got from my teacher. Hopefully, the technique is to your liking", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Of course, I could not ask for a better technique. It most be a heaven grade technique or above", Liu Hua spoke. There was a trace of emotion on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She was feeling thankful because Zhan Chen trusted her with such a technique.


    "Liu Hua, are you ready to be my woman?", Zhan Chen asked her. He had a serious look on his face because Liu Hua was an extremely serious and emotional beauty altogether. Behind her witch like facade, she was actually trying to hide her insecurities. Even, he got fooled by her demeanor when he met her first time in the treasure hall.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Liu Hua nodded shyly and tried to avoid the eyes of Zhan Chen. Her heart throbbed rapidly as she anticipated Zhan Chen''s advances.


    Zhan Chen pulled her closer by holding her waist and lowered his head for a kiss. Liu Hua responded passionately as both of them kissed eachother.


    "Zhan Chen, shall we go to a room?", Liu Hua looked towards Zhan Chen after both of them shared a kiss. She was feeling ufortable because they were doing such a public disy of love in the main hall of the caveplex.


    "There is no need. This formation is enough to block the eyes of anyone below emperor realm. As for those who are at emperor realm, they also can''t interfere because I have a way to block their soul consciousness", Zhan Chen spoke. He made a gesture with his hand and four bluish barriers came out from stone surface. The blush barriers grewrgerrapidly andpletely enclosed the main hall of the caveplex.


    "Will it do?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua. Liu Hua nodded her head and looked towards Zhan Chen with a charming look on her face. There was anticipation and expectation on her face when her eyes met with Zhan Chen''s.


    Zhan Chen nted another kiss on her lips and ced his hand on her back. His hand gradually went lower and he finally found a mountain after her extremely slim back. The mountain was extremely soft and Zhan Chen felt his hand would melt when he squeezed it.


    Liu Hua moaned lightly after her buttocks got groped by Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen kept licking her lips while squeezing her buttocks. Liu Hua also responded passionately while being stimted by Zhan Chen ''s hands.


    "Liu Hua, take off your clothes. I want to see you with your clothes off", Zhan Chen spoke. Liu Hua nodded her head and took off her clothes one by one. There was a deep blush on her face as she tried to cover her chest and lower part with her hands.


    "Liu Hua, you are so naive. How can you hide such massive beautiful things with your tiny hand?", Zhan Chen spoke and pushed away her hand gently. Her twin peaks became bare infront of his eyes as he enjoyed how disproportionate her assets werepared to her slim figure.


    Zhan Chen grabbed one of her peaks and gave it a gentle squeeze. Liu Hua moaned softly as a wave of ecstacy ran through her body. Zhan Chen gave a squeeze to her other peak and her reaction made him more interested in her.


    Every girl had a unique feminine character and it was upto a dual cultivator to discover her most fascinating side. Zhan Chen always followed this logic. So, he slowly and steadily tried to discover the most enchanting side of Liu Hua.


    What made Liu Hua more enchanting was her shyness and reserved nature. She was almost like a shy vige girl who would hide herself upon seeing a visitor.


    Zhan Chen picked her by her waist and made her lie on the stone surface. He stimted her in different ways and everytime her reaction enthralled him more. Liu Hua felt like she was floating in the cloud after being stimted by Zhan Chen. She finally couldn''t control herself when Zhan Chen invaded the privacy of her little sister with his finger. Her body convulsed and she released arge amount of holy water from her sacred cave.

 Chapter 339 True Wonder Of The Nine Revolution Origin Formation

    Something magical happened in the surrounding just after Liu Hua released her holy water. A faint yinyang symbol materialized in the air and it absorbed the yin essence out of her holy water.


    Liu Hua looked in awe as the magical symbol lit up slightly. It remained in the air for few seconds before vanishing into nothingness.


    "What is this symbol? It can absorb energy directly from a cultivator ''s body!", she murmured with a hint of curiousity on her face.


    "This is the divine yinyang symbol. It materialized after sending the yin essence in the surrounding", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "The symbol is the manifestation of Nine revolution origin formation. I have arranged this formation so that it can help me with dual cultivation.


    With this formation, women can absorb the yang energy from the surrounding while doing dual cultivation with me. Same is true for me. I can absorb the yin essence from the surrounding while practicing dual cultivation. It can greatly increase the pace of our cultivation when we dual cultivate", he further added.


    "A marvellous formation! We just need to do that and it can enhance our speed of cultivation!", Liu Hua murmured with awe on her face.


    "Why don''t you check the effect for yourself. You just need to circte the surrounding energy ording to the Yin nourishment technique while we dual cultivate", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face. Liu Hua ''s face reddened after she saw the meaningful smile on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Zhan Chen pulled her by her thighs and brought her closer. He leaned on her body and both indulged in a passionate kiss once again.


    Zhan Chen took off his clothes after kissing Liu Hua. She blushed after seeing his naked body infront of her. Her attention particrly went towards a tall thing which was pointing it''s head towards the sky.


    Zhan Chen crouched infront of Liu Hua after taking off his clothes. He ced kisses on her thighs and advanced towards her most sacred part.


    Liu Hua wanted to stop Zhan Chen but her mind became nk when Zhan Chen ''s tongue invaded her sacred cave. She could only let out weak moans while Zhan Chen tasted the inner parts of her cave.


    Waves after waves of pleasure ran through her body as Zhan Chen licked her cave skillfully. Her cave gradually became filled with water after being stimted by the skillful tongue of Zhan Chen.


    "Beauty, it is your turn now", Zhan Chen spoke after tending to the needs of Liu Hua for a while. He pointed towards his dragon after letting go of Liu Hua.


    "What do you want me to do?", Liu Hua asked Zhan Chen. She was very much willing to tend to Zhan Chen''s need after being taken care of by him.


    "Let me lie down first. You can use your mouth on it after I lie down", Zhan Chen spoke. Liu Hua nodded her head and focused her eyes on Zhan Chen''s dragon. She curiously stretched out her hand and held the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "It is hot!", she eximed after holding the dragon of Zhan Chen with her hand. Her curiousity increased as she felt the warmthing from Zhan Chen''s little brother.


    "Liu Hua, use your mouth", Zhan Chen reminded her. It was impossible for his dragon to stay calm after being touched by her.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Liu Hua nodded and lowered her head. She slightly parted her lips and took in the tip of Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her mouth. Zhan Chen encouraged her to move her mouth more lower and she obliged. Zhan Chen felt a wave of pleasure coarsing through his body when she swallowed half of his dragon with her mouth.


    Liu Hua tried to hold her breath as much as she could and her instinctive act brought more pleasure to Zhan Chen. His dragon was throbbing more intensely when she finally withdrew her mouth.


    Liu Hua coughed slightly and took a moment to adjust her breath. She once again lowered her head and took in the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth. This time Zhan Chen strated to thrust upward and Liu Hua remained still despite the movement from Zhan Chen.


    Gradually, she learned to move her mouth after seeing the look of enjoyment on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Slurp, slurrpp", thescivious sound rang in the air as Liu Hua tended to Zhan Chen''s need with all her heart. Even Zhan Chen was greatly amazed by her willingness as she continued to lick his dragon for more than half an hour.


    "Liu Hua, stop. You have done more than enough. We should start the ceremony now with which we will be man and woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Hua stopped obediently after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. A surge of expectation and nervousness rose in her heart after she saw the desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen helped her to lie on her back and pulled her closer by holding her waist. He parted apart her thighs and ced his dragon on the entrance of her cave.


    He rubbed her entrance with his dragon and Liu Hua felt inexplicable pleasure rising in her heart. She let out a loud moan when Zhan Chen broke apart her barrier with a sudden thrust.


    Zhan Chen was quick to ease her pain as drops of red fell upon the stone surface. Zhan Chen started to move his waist slowly after her pain subsided.


    Liu Hua gradually felt more and more pleasure as both her and Zhan Chen ''s body connected with eachother. She felt like she was falling into a pleasant dream as Zhan Chen was extremely gentle with her. She felt something was builting up in her lower belly after bearing the thrusts of Zhan Chen for a while. Finally, a wave of ecstacy ran through her body as she released her holy water.


    The yinyang diagram had already manifested when Zhan Chen and Liu Hua started their dual cultivation. It lit up brightly when Liu Hua released her primordial yin essence.


    Liu Hua looked towards Zhan Chen with a loving gaze after releasing her yin essence. There was inexplicable emotion on her face as she looked at Zhan Chen''s eyes. "Zhan Chen, thank you. I have never thought I will feel this close to someone in my entire life", she spoke softly.


    "Why are you thanking me? We are already man and woman. I am d that you are feeling so close to me in this brief period", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What are you nning now? If you have time, then we can spend some more time with eachother", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua.


    "I should get back to the treasure hall but that can wait. If you want, I can spend few more hours with you", Liu Hua replied with a blush on her face. She was also feeling reluctant to leave Zhan Chen like this. So, she quickly agreed to Zhan Chen''s proposal.

 Chapter 340 A Paradise In The Cave Complex

    Zhan Chen reminded Liu Hua to use the Yin nourishment technique while doing dual cultivation with her. Liu Hua felt amazed after realising the benefit of the Nine revolution origin formation.


    It was very hard to raise cultivation at her level but during dual cultivation with Zhan Chen, she could feel that her cultivation was rising slowly.


    "Zhan Chen, it is amazing. My cultivation is slowly rising while we are doing it", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Then we should do more. I want to inspect your body more throughly while we are at it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He lowered his head to share another kiss with Liu Hua and started to move his waist. Liu Hua was trying to cultivate initially but the pleasure from Zhan Chen''s thrusts forced her to stop her cultivation. She decided to embrace the pleasure which she was feeling at this moment.


    Zhan Chen increased the pace of his thrusts over time. Liu Hua could only weakly moan as she bear the passionate thrusts of Zhan Chen. Waves after waves of ecstacy washed over her body and she finally reached the tipping point.


    Zhan Chen gave her a deep thrust after noticing her condition and Liu Hua opened up her gate of flood. A huge amount of yin water came out from her holy cave as her body convulsed.


    Zhan Chen removed his dragon and let her took some rest. His dragon was already protesting but Zhan Chen knew what was more appropriate at this moment. Liu Hua was a gentle girl underneath and had a huge amount of insecurity in her heart. The most appropriate treatment for her was to give her some gentle love and care.


    Liu Hua lied down for few moments and looked towards Zhan Chen. There was a certain peace and unspeakable love in her eyes when she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    She sat up and gave a loving look towards Zhan Chen''s dragon. "Zhan Chen,e closer", she spoke with a soft voice. Zhan Chenplied with her request as he could already guess what she was about to do. His dragon trembled with excitement as he closed the distance between Liu Hua and himself.


    A wonderful sensation washed over Zhan Chen''s mind as two soft lips gulped his dragon. He started to move his waist slowly as Liu Hua swallowed his dragon. Liu Hua acted more skillfully this time and used her tongue. She brought her head more closer and tried to swallow the dragon of Zhan Chen as much as she could.


    Zhan Chen felt like exploding while he was being taken care of by Liu Hua. Liu Hua continued her care wholeheartedly and Zhan Chen finally reached his limit. He held Liu Hua ''s head by her hair and bursted off inside her mouth.


    A huge amount of yang essence came out from his dragon and got deposited inside Liu Hua ''s throat. Liu Hua gulped involuntarily after Zhan Chen removed his dragon from her mouth.


    ''What a strong yang energy!'', Liu Hua felt surprised for a moment. She looked curiously towards Zhan Chen after swallowing his yang essence.


    "Why your yang essence is so potent?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "It is because of the technique that I am practicing. It will be more potent with the increase in my cultivation level", Zhan Chen replied. Liu Hua bade farewell to Zhan Chen with a reluctant look on her face. She wanted to spend some more timewith Zhan Chen but her responsibility towards the sect would not allow her to do that. Zhan Chen told her that she could visit him anytime and Liu Hua nodded her head. Shegave a peck on Zhan Chen''s cheek before flying away from Zhan Chen''s mountain.


    "Such a nice girl", Zhan Chen murmured with a gentle smile on his face. He touched the ce on his cheek where she had kissed and shook his head. ''It is necessary for her to have some goodpanions by her side'', he thought to himself.


    --------------------


    The true wonder of the Nine revolution origin formation lied in its ability to convert the essence energy from the surrounding environment into the yin and yang energy. The yin and yang energy supplied by the formation was so pure that it could assist any dual cultivator. If ordinary dual cultivation could gain such advantage from the formation, then one could only imagine how much advantage could Zhan Chen gain! As the controller of the formation himself, he enjoyed the most privileges that the Nine revolution origin formation had to offer.


    The Nine revolution origin formation worked in tandem with the sacred yinyang diagram which lied on his dantian. While dual cultivating, both of the formation enabled him to absorb the yinyang essence energy from the surrounding area at an breathtaking speed.


    He could still gain from the dual cultivation with women at a higher stage of cultivation. The formation was only a multiplier which would help him in increasing his cultivation more rapidly.


    He absorbed the primordial yin essence of Liu Hua after she left. His cultivation was already at the third stage of Martial ascension realm when he left the Longyang city. It jumped to the peak of third stage after he absorbed all the energy he had gathered during dual cultivation.


    ''Good, I need to continue dual cultivating and my cultivation will improve automatically with the help of the formation'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He took a look at Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min and found all three of them cultivating seriously. He hesitated to disturb them although he was nning to have dual cultivation with Li Shu and Kai Min. Li Yan was not in picture yet although he had epted her as his woman.


    ''I should look for Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi. Two of them most have broken into the Martial ascension realm after taking the Ascencion spirit pill", he thought to himself. He recalled their peak name and left his caveplex.


    ''Martial peak'' was one of the most important peaks of the Xuantian sect. The Martial peak housed the most number of inner court disciples of the Xuantian sect. The disciples of the Martial peak didn''t have any special attributes. So, they had choosen the martial path to furthen their cultivation goals.


    Madtial path needed determination and apetetive mind. One needed to have a steely determination to ovee all obstacles and rise further in the cultivation path. Due to the nature of the Martial path, the Martial peak was the most boisterous ces among the inner court areas. Disciples would alwayspete with eachother to sharpen themselves and gain more insights into the techniques that they were using.


    There was a crowd gathered at the bottom of the mountain peak when Zhan Chen got there. He felt slightly interested and walked towards the gathering of the cultivators.

 Chapter 341 A Challenge In The Martial Peak

    "Who do you think will win today?", a cultivator asked hispanion.


    "Ofcourse, it is going to be senior brother Biao. This time, I am sure that he can beat the lioness from the girls gang", hispanion replied.


    "It is for the best if senior brother Biao can pull out a win but if he lose by chance, then we all are doomed. All these unreasonable witches will make our living worse than hell", the cultivator pointed towards a crowd of girls who were standing opposite to the male cultivators. There were tense look in almost every spectator''s eyes as they looked towards the two figures fighting in the middle. Compared to their male counterparts, the female cultivators were looking rtively rxed. Few of them had arrogant expression on their faces as they looked towards the male cultivators.


    Zhan Chen felt amused by the ongoing tussle between male and female cultivators. A smile appeared on his face when few girls started to look at him with simr arrogant expression. He ignored thempletely and looked towards the two figures who were fighting fiercely with eachother.


    One of the fighter was an average looking young man. There was nothing extraordinary about him except the pure elemental auraing from him. His opponent was a tall looking girl. She had aparatively muscr feature which was generally absent in most of the girls. She had a valiant expression on her face as she faced her opponent.


    What piqued the curiousity of Zhan Chen was her skin colour. Her skin was shiny bronze colour which separated her from her peers. There was another thing which increased the curiousity of Zhan Chen towards the valiant looking girl.


    Generally, cultivators tend to use sword, spear, knife and axe as their weapons of choice but what the tall girl was using waspletely different. She was using a in looking wooden stick to fight her male counterpart.


    Currently, she was defending as her male counterpart was attacking fiercely but the notable thing was that the attacks of her opponent couldn''t make her backstep even once.


    Zhan Chen could feel the fluctuationing from the girl''s body. He immediately recognised the earthen waves as a surprised expression appeared on his face.


    Her male counterpart didn''tck in talent or cultivation. He was a young man under thirty who had already reached the middle martial ascension realm. With his elemental affinity towards the fire element, he was a difficult opponent to counter.


    But it seemed like the tall girl was wearing an invisible armour. No matter how much the male cultivator tried, he couldn''tnd a single hit on the girl''s body.


    "Mu Biao, are you satisfied?", the tall looking girl asked after a while. There was a calm expression on her face as she looked towards her opponent.


    "I thought I can beat you this time but that is not the case. I have improved slightly but your improvement is tremendous. It will foolish of me if I continue further", the male cultivator spoke. There was a bitter expression on his face as he looked towards the tall girl.


    "Then what about our agreement?", the tall looking girl asked.


    "Ofcourse, I will not deny that for you. We martial Ascension realm cultivators will not interfere in the matter between juniors", Mu Biao spoke. He took a look at the gathered male cultivators before flying away towards the mountain.


    "Senior sister, thank you. Now, we can have a fairpetetion with these guys without any obstruction from their seniors", the gathered female cultivators thanked the tall looking girl. They looked towards the male cultivators haughtily after talking with their senior sister.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "ording to the rule, we can challenge any cultivator from our martial peak once in a month. The winner will take half of the essence energy stones from the monthly allocation of her opponent.


    Now who will step forward among you? We sister are waiting for your energy stones", a girl spoke. There was an eager expression on her face as she looked towards all the gathered male cultivators. One of herpanion pointed towards Zhan Chen and the eyes of girls'' gang shifted towards Zhan Chen''s location.


    "Junior brother, pleasee forward. We sisters do not know that we have such a good looking guy among our Martial peak cultivators", one of the girls spoke. She had a yful expression on her face as she looked towards herpanions.


    "Brother, best of luck. It is your turn to be tortured today", one of the guy who stood beside Zhan Chen spoke. He had a sympathetic expression on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could only smile warily after hearing the words of the male cultivator. He felt curious about what the girls were nning for him today.


    "Junior brother, introduce yourself. It is your turn today to perform for us sisters", the girl from the before spoke after Zhan Chen walked towards them. She had a yful expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, I will introduce myself but before that I want to learn something more about you. I want to know whether you like anyone or not before introducing myself", Zhan Chen replied. He had a small smile on his face but inwardly he was snorting. Such childish way of bullying someone was beneath him.


    The girl looked towards Zhan Chen and fell into a trance for a second. "I like sister gui ye", she replied with all seriousness while looking towards Zhan Chen. The crowd became silent all of a sudden after hearing the reply of the girl. There was an odd look on everyone''s faces as they looked towards the questioning girl.


    The girl recovered instantly after replying to Zhan Chen''s question. She realised what she had done and an angry expression appeared on her face.


    "It is wrong. What have you done to me? There is no way that I can think about sister gui Ye in that way", the girl spoke furiously.


    "There is no point in denying. Just ept the facts as they are. You hate the boys since your childhood and that is the reason, you always have something against the male cultivators", Zhan Chen spoke. He had already used the Heart peering technique on her and found some interesting details regarding her personal life. Thus, it was childish of her when she thought she could bully him easily.


    "I....", The girl wanted to say something but there was no words that came out from her mouth. Drops of tear came out from her eyes as she feltpletely humiliated.


    "Sistern fen, withdraw. You can''t deal with a guy like him. Moreover, I have already warned you to refine your behaviour", the tall girl spoke all of a sudden. She chose to intervene after seeing the situation getting out of hand.


    The girl who was asking question to Zhan Chen left immediately after hearing her senior sister''s words. She left hurriedly due to the embarassment she was feeling at the moment.


    "Tell me, what trick you have yed. I know sistern fen is wrong but you can''t bully her like this in my presence", the tall girl asked. She had a serious expression on her face as she questioned Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 342 Hu Daiyu

    "What do you think? Am I wrong?", Zhan Chen looked towards the tall looking girl.


    "Right or wrong, I don''t care but it is a fact that you have tried to bully my junior sister in my presence. You must apologise before I let you go", the tall looking girl replied.


    ''What a blockhead!'', Zhan Chen shook his head inwardly. Her actions seemed righteous but he knew that such single-minded people are considered as the most foolish among the cultivators. Yet, this very stubbornness and foolishness sometimes propelled them towards the sess which was the case the for the tall girl infront of him.


    "What if I don''t apologise?", he looked towards the girl infront of him.


    "Then you will stay here. I will make you kneel on behalf of sistern fen", the tall girl spoke.


    "Senior sister Daiyu, don''t let him go easily. It has been a while since someone dare bully one of our sisters", a girl among the crowd spoke. Zhan Chen could see hostile expression on many girls'' faces and suddenly a headache came to his mind.


    "What is with these girls? Do they really think they can do as they wish?", heined inside his mind.


    "Brother, just say sorry. You have already done enough to anger all of them", a male cultivator suggested from the side. Few of the cultivators were sympathetic towards Zhan Chen because they could see the overbearing attitude of the girls.


    "I have not done anything wrong. So, I will not apologize. You can try whatever you want to make me stay", Zhan Chen replied. He didn''t want to engage himself in such childish hostility. So, he chose to withdraw from the scene.


    "You think you can go like that?", the tall girl snorted. He crashed her stick on the ground and an overbearing pressure came towards Zhan Chen.


    The pressure she was releasing was earthen gravity. So, the nearby male cultivators also got affected. Many of their knees crashed on the ground automatically as they faced the wrath of tall looking girl.


    Zhan Chen was also feeling the pressure but the pressure was not sufficient to make him kneel. He frowned after seeing the intensity of the pressure getting increased.


    "I am nning to walk away peacefully but seems like you want to force my hand. It will be foolish of me if I allow you to chase me around as you please", he turned around and spoke to the tall looking girl.


    "You want to fight with senior sister Daiyu?", one of girls asked. There was astonishment and amusement on most of the girls'' faces as they looked at Zhan Chen as if they were seeing an idiot.


    Zhan Chen remained calm despite the taunting expressions all around him. He looked towards the tall girl to see her response.


    "You seem to have some ability because you are able to resist the gravity wave I am releasing. In that case, draw your weapon. Let''s see whether I can make you kneel or not", the tall girl spoke.


    "Wait", suddenly an all pervasive voice came out from the distance. A middle aged man appeared between Zhan Chen and the tall girl just before they could start their fight.


    The appearance of the middle aged man was a shocker for the entire crowd. There was astonishment and curiousity on their faces as they saw the most renowned expert of the martial peak.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "What is peak master doing here?", a cultivator murmured in wonder. The entire crowd bowed immediately after seeing the emperor realm expert.


    Zhan Chen and the tall girl also did the same as both of them paid their respect to the emperor realm expert. Crowd watched in curious as they want to know why the emperor had shown himself.


    "Zhan Chen, I have always wanted to invite you to my peak. It is a pity that your choice of weapon is sword. Otherwise, I would have trained you myself", the emperor realm expert spoke. He had a genuine smile on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, you are so kind. I still want to learn whatever I can from you if I get any chance", Zhan Chen replied. His eloquence and manners greatly pleased the emperor as he nodded his head.


    "Now, tell me. Why are you two are fighting?", he looked towards the tall girl.


    The tall girl stammered a little but she still exined the matter in details. There was no duplicity in her words as she exined the matter as it was.


    "I assume both of you are unaware about eachother''s identity. So, a misunderstanding is only natural", the emperor realm expertmented. Both the tall girl and Zhan Chen nodded their heads as they were indeed unaware about eachother''s identity.


    "Her name is Hu Daiyu. She is one of the most talented cultivator from the stone tribe of the Barbarian race", the emperor realm expert spoke as he introduced the tall girl to Zhan Chen.


    "As for Zhan Chen, he is the new core disciple of our Xuantian sect. He has achieved this feat after showing his talent in the Grand sectpetetion", the emperor introduced Zhan Chen to the Hu Daiyu. The crowd was also listening to his words. So, they bepletely shocked after learning the identity of Zhan Chen.


    "You two are now familiar with eachother ''s identity. So, I want you to ask again. Do you two still want to continue your hostility and do battle?", the emperor realm expert looked towards both Zhan Chen and Hu Daiyu.


    Zhan Chen had a nonchnt attitude towards a battle with Hu Daiyu but Hu Daiyu seemed interested. Fighting interest rose in her heart after she learned Zhan Chen''s identity.


    "Previously, I want you to say sorry but now I am dropping my demand. I know, sistern fen will understand after she learn your identity. But I still want to do a battle with you. I can limit my cultivation to you cultivation stage if you want", Hu Daiyu spoke. She had fervour and a battle hungry look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "There is no need to limit your cultivation as we can fight however you want. But I have a condition. You have to listen to me for a year if you lose the battle", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You want me to listen to you for a year?", Hu Daniyu looked towards Zhan Chen with astonishment. Zhan Chen nodded his head as he had a different idea about her.


    "You are absurd. Even if you are a core disciple, there is no way you can match me in my full strength", Hu Daiyu spoke. As for the notion of she getting defeated, she had never considered such a possibility.


    "We will know after we try. My condition will not be applied if you manage to defeat me at your full strength", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then you have to promise me that you will not bully any of my sisters in the future if you got defeated. Moreover, you have to ept my challenge once you reach Martial ascension realm", Hu Daiyu spoke.

 Chapter 343 The Technique Of The Stone Tribe

    "Okay, I agree. I will not get back at your sisters even if they annoy me. But I will ept such a condition only if you can beat me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No one would have annoyed you if they know your status as a core disciple. You should have introduced yourself when sistern fen called you for the first time", Hu Daiyu spoke. She was still ming Zhan Chen for the unpleasant event that happened earlier.


    "There is no point in ming eachother. We should decide the result by our fist. If I lose, I am wrong. If You lose, then you are wrong. It is as simple as that", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Okay, let''s start our fight then. You need to be fully prepared. Otherwise, the sect elders will me me for bullying a core disciple", Hu Daiyu spoke. Her face was brimming with confidence and battle eagerness as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, shall we start the battle?", Zhan Chen asked the emperor for his permission. The emperor nodded his head and the battle between him and Hu Daiyu started.


    "Can anyone give me a sword?", Zhan Chen turned to look towards the spectators after the emperor gave his permission. Ate core condensation realm young man stepped out and gave his sword to Zhan Chen.


    "Senior brother Zhan Chen, I am Lu Han. You can look for me if you want any work to be done", the young man introduced himself.


    "Lu Han, thank you. We will talk after the battle is over", Zhan Chen spoke. Hu Daiyu was already getting impatient after the permission from the emperor. She attacked immediately after Zhan Chen sent away the young man.


    She swung her stick and a whirlwind like energy wave crashed towards Zhan Chen. Her attack was rapid. So, Zhan Chen didn''t get any time to dodge. He shed with his sword and met her attack head-on.


    The intensity of the attack was great and Zhan Chen had to take few steps back to negate the force. A little interest rose in his heart after he experienced the attack of Hu Daiyu.


    Hu Daiyu was in no mood to give any respite to Zhan Chen. She followed immediately with another attack and a bigger energy projectile came crashing towards Zhan Chen.


    This time Zhan Chen was prepared. He dodged swiftly and swung his sword. A horizontal energy wave materialized in the air and went flying towards Hu Daiyu.


    She was taken aback by the speed of Zhan Chen''s attack. She hurriedly swung her stick and collided with Zhan Chen''s attack.


    She could easily manage to defend herself but an attack immediately followed after the first attack. Zhan Chenunched five sharp looking energy swords towards Hu Daiyu at the same time.


    Hu Daiyu swung her stick vigorously and met with all the five attacks head on. An attack managed to sneak through her stick but it couldn''t injure her body. The energy attack collided with an invisibleyer and dispersed before it could touch her skin.


    "Interesting. She do not have an innate earth body but she can still able to manipte earth energy to such extent'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. Heunched several more attacks to check the sturdiness of her defence.


    ------------------


    The fight between Zhan Chen and Hu Daiyu attracted a huge number of spectators. Almost everyone from the martial peak came out from their cultivation caves and gathered at the bottom of the martial peak.


    Few elders who were not in seclusion at this moment also came out and joined the emperor in the sky to witness the battle between Zhan Chen and Hu Daiyu.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Senior brother Lai, what do you think? Can this Zhan Chen prate the armour of Hu Daiyu?", an elder looked towards the old man standing next to him. There was a curious look on his face as he observed the battle between Zhan Chen and Hu Daiyu.


    "I can''t predict the result but it is more likely that Hu Daiyu will win. Zhan Chen is talented and you can already tell why he is a core disciple at his age. But even his talent can''t breach the gap between his cultivation and Hu Daiyu''s", the old man replied.


    Hu Daiyu was feeling annoyed as her attacks didn''t manage to do anything against Zhan Chen. Instead, it was Zhan Chen who was pestering her repeatedly with numerous attacks.


    "Zhan Chen, I am going to use one of the most powerful technique of my tribe. If I can''t defeat you even after the attack, then I will admit my lose", Hu Daiyu spoke.


    She let go of her stick and closed her eyes. Zhan Chen didn''t stop her because he wanted to see the full extent of her capability. She did few hand seals and an elemental fluctuation came from the surrounding. She brought together both of her palm and made a praying gesture.


    Elemental fluctuation became rapid when she brought both of her palm together. Yellowish elemental energy gathered infront of her and materialized into a huge yellowish palm.


    The expression on the face of the emperor changed immediately as soon as he saw the slowly materialized palm. He decided to intervene immediately because he knew how powerful the technique of the stone tribe was.


    "Zhan Chen, withdraw", hemanded from the sky.


    "Senior, don''t worry. I will be fine. I want to see her full capabilily before ending our battle", Zhan Chen replied. He had a confident expression on his face as he looked towards the emperor.


    The emperor hesitated for a moment because Zhan Chen was a core disciple of the sect. If anything unfortunate happened to him, then the martial peak would scold him for his negligence.


    "Zhan Chen, I will intervene if you don''t have a definite reply for this technique", the emperor spoke with a solemn voice.


    "Senior, rest assure", Zhan Chen replied and focused his attention on the slowly materialized palm. Hu Daniyu took few long minutes but managed to cast her techniquepletely.


    She warned Zhan Chen before pushing her hands towards Zhan Chen''s direction. The materialized energy palm followed her direction and came crashing towards Zhan Chen. There was a palpipable pressure came from the palm which affected the surrounding spectators.


    The emperor waspletely ready to pull Zhan Chen out when Zhan Chen moved. He resisted the pressure of the palm and used the Wind Chasing technique.


    He had already left the ce just before the palm crashed on the ground. No one except the emperor could keep up with his speed as he appeared near Hu Daniyu.


    The gigantic palm fell upon the ground and a loud rumble came out as a result. Few of the spectators were blown into the air as they couldn''t resist the impact of the technique. The elders immediately went into action and stabilized the situation on the ground. Dust settles after few moments and everyone could see a gigantic palm print on the ground.


    "Where is Zhan Chen?", spectators felt baffled after not seeing Zhan Chen near the palm print. Few looked towards Hu Daniyu and a look of disbelief appeared on their faces. It was because Zhan Chen had somehow escaped unscathed and now standing beside Hu Daniyu. He had a calm expression on his face as he watched the palm print along with other spectators.


    "I have lost", Hu Daniyu dered suddenly. She turned to look towards Zhan Chen with a sincere expression on her face.

 Chapter 344 Option Before Hu Daiyu

    "I have yet to get through your defence. So, you still remain undefeated", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No, a defeat is a defeat. Our stone tribe has always honoured their words and I am no different. You are much younger than me. Yet you are able to fight me equally. Moreover, I have used my tribe''s Earth god technique on you.


    Yet you get out unscathed. So, there is no point in dragging our battle longer. I have lost and I will agree to any condition that you put forward", Hu Daiyu spoke. She had a sincere expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, you should not doubt her words. Her tribe is known for their strength and trustworthiness. So, you can beleive her and put forward whatever condition you have in your mind", the emperor realm expert spoke. Hu Daiyu also looked towards Zhan Chen as she wanted to find out about the conditions that Zhan Chen wanted to put forward.


    "Senior, thank you for gracing us with your presence. I will negotiate the conditions with senior sister Hu Daiyuter. First I want to invite her to my mountain", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The crowd dispersed gradually after the emperor and the elders left. Hu Daiyu followed Zhan Chen but she was surprised to see that two of her junior sisters were also following after them.


    "Junior sister Ran, junior sister Ling, why are you two following us?", Hu Daiyu asked with a confused expression. She noticed the cultivation stage of both of her junior sisters and a surprised expression appeared on her face.


    "Both of you have reached the Martial ascension realm?", she eximed after noticing Yin Ran and Hui Ling''s cultivation.


    "Senior sister, it is all thanks to senior brother Zhan Chen. Both of us have reached Martial ascension realm with his help", Yin Ran replied. Both of them looked towards Zhan Chen with a look of gratitude on their faces.


    "You helped them in their breakthrough?", Hu Daiyu looked towards Zhan Chen with a perturbed expression. She couldn''t understand how someone as young as Zhan Chen could help her junior sisters in their breakthrough.


    "Ofcourse. Beside being a sword cultivator, I am an alchemist also.I have concocted Ascension spirit pill for them", Zhan Chen spoke.


    -------------------


    "How outrageous? You want me to cultivate with you?", Hu Daiyu red at Zhan Chen with a reddened face. Her pretty looking cheeks werepletely red after she heard the shameless proposal from Zhan Chen.


    "It is upto you. I can put forward another condition if you are not satisfied with my first proposal", Zhan Chen spoke calmly.


    "There is no way I am going to agree to your first proposal. So, let me hear the second. If it is as shameless as the first, then I will leave your caveplex", Hu Daiyu dered. She had already made up her mind to leave if Zhan Chen put forward another shameless proposal.


    "Don''t be angry. Have some patience. I thought I could convince you like your junior sisters", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What? junior sister Ran and junior sister Lingxi? Have they agreed to cultivate with you?", Hu Daiyu looked towards Zhan Chen as if she was seeing a ghost.


    "Ofcourse, both of them are my women. Why else do you think I have gifted them Ascension spirit pills?", Zhan Chen spoke.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You shameless jerk! You are a core cultivator. Yet you are using such underhanded means to lure my junior sisters?", Hu Daiyu yelled with an angry expression. She was nowpletely mad after she heard the words of Zhan Chen.


    "I have used underhanded means or not, that you can''t decide. I am calling your junior sisters. You can ask them whether they are willing or not?", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t waste any time and went outside of the room.


    Yin Ran and Hui Ling were sitting inside the main hall of the caveplex. Zhan Chen asked them to go and talk with Hu Daiyu.


    ? "Junior sister Ran, junior sister Ling, have that jerk forced you to do this? Had he forced you to be his women?", Hu Daiyu asked after Yin Ran and Hui Ling entered inside. There was a concerned look on her face as she looked towards both of her junior sisters.


    "Senior sister, please don''t use senior brother Chen. He has never forced anything upon us rather it was us sisters who has benefited from his generous personality", Yin Ran replied. She had a slightly angry expression as she looked towards Hu Daiyu.


    "Junior sister, it looks like you have genuine feelings towards him", Hu Daiyu spoke after observing Yin Ran. Yin Ran blushed after hearing her senior sister''s words.


    "Junior sister Ling, are you also same? Do you like him as well?", Hu Daiyu looked towards Hui Ling. Hui Ling nodded her head with a shy expression.


    "Okay, we can talkter. I will not use Zhan Chen in future. Now go and call him. I need to hear his proposal. What else do he want from me?", Hu Daiyu spoke. She looked towards Zhan Chen after Hui Ling and Yin Ran sent him inside.


    "I am sorry. I hope you will forgive me for all the usations I have put on you", Hu Daiyu spoke. She had a calm expression now as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is good to see that you are not angry now. I have thought about making you my woman only because how beautiful you are. But let''s forget about that. If you give permission, then I will say my second proposal", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Hu Daiyu''s face reddened slightly after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She asked him to tell his second proposal.


    "Few of my women stays inside the caveplex. I am concerned about there safety when I have to leave the mountain or have to go outside the sect for an important work.


    I think I can take your help in this regard. Your talent convinced me that you can protect them in my absence", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You want me to guard your caveplex?", Hu Daiyu looked towards Zhan Chen with a calm expression.


    "I willpensate you for this. Moreover, you don''t have to stay for long as I am nning to find a Heavenly tribtion realm expert for this task", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "There is no need forpensation. But there most be a time limit. I want to know how long I will have to protect your mountain in your absence?", Hu Daiyu asked.


    "How about one year?", Zhan Chen proposed.

 Chapter 345 A Blissful Union

    "Well, one year seems like a fair deal. Your mountain is looking good for seclusion. So, I want your permission to carve a cave for myself", Hu Daiyu spoke.


    "You can look for me if you need any help", Zhan Chen replied. Hu Daiyu looked towards Zhan Chen''s face and her face reddened a little. She quickly avoided looking at Zhan Chen and bade her farewell.


    "Junior sister Ran, junior sister Ling, you two can visit me whenever you want. I will be staying at the eastern side of this mountain", she informed Hui Ling and Yin Ran before bading her farewell. She still wanted to talk with her junior sisters but the disturbance in her heart forced her to leave Zhan Chen''s caveplex.


    "What is wrong with me?", she muttered to herself after escaping outside. For some reason, she felt delirious in her heart.


    Zhan Chen went out of the the room to meet Yin Ran and Hui Ling. Both of them were at the Main hall of the caveplex. So, he could meet with them straight away after Hu Daiyu left.


    "Senior brother, thank you. The Ascension spirit pills are amazing. Both of us could break away swiftly after consuming the Ascencion spirit pill", Hui Ling spoke.


    "It is good to see both of you doing fine. I am nning to look for you because I need your assistance in dual cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, we are ready. It is hard to cultivate in the past few days because we are thinking about you", Yin Ran spoke.


    "Then what are we waiting for?", Zhan Chen looked towards both Yin Ran and Hui Ling. Both of them looked at him with same intensity as signs of desire was visible on both of their faces.


    "Come closer", Zhan Chen spoke. Both of them obediently walked forward and Zhan Chen pulled them into his arms. He lowered his head and ced a kiss on both Yin Ran and Hui Ling''s lips.


    "Who want to be the first?", he looked towards both Yin Ran and Hui Ling.


    "Senior brother, take sister Ran first. She has been thinking about you nonstop in the past few days", Hui Ling spoke.


    "Oh, is that so?", Zhan Chen looked towards Yin Ran. Yin Ran felt shy all of a sudden as she red at Hui Ling for exposing her thoughts.


    "Tell me, what are you doing in my absence?", Zhan Chen looked towards Yin Ran. His hand ran across her back and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face.


    "Senior brother, I...", she couldn''tplete her words as she felt shy to talk about it. Zhan Chen stimted her slowly by touching her curvy back.


    "What are you being shy for? It is not hard to guess that you have been ying with yourself", Zhan Chen spoke. He ced his hand on her buttocks and squeezed them with mild force.


    "Mmmm~", a soft moan escaped the mouth of Yin Ran as waves of pleasure coarsed through the body of Yin Ran. She looked towards Zhan Chen with desirefilled eyes.


    "Take off your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke. Yin Ran felt slightly awkward because they were still in the main hall.


    "Don''t worry about it. No one will see us here", Zhan Chen spoke. He gestured with his hand and four beautiful looking bluish barriers appeared in the center of the main hall.


    With the appearance of the barrier, the nine revolution origin formation became activated once again. Thick waves of pure energy started to concentrate inside as both Yin Ran and Hui Ling felt invigorated by the pure energying from the formation.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Senior brother Chen, what is this formation?", Hui Ling asked with a surprised look on her face. With her Instinct as a Martial ascension realm cultivator,she could guess that the formation was an extraordinary one.


    "It is the Nine revolution origin formation. I have been preparing it since ourst meet. I have built it because it can greatly help us in our cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, how can it help us?", Yin Ran asked. She had forgotten about taking off her clothes as the blue barriers and the Nine revolution origin formation fascinated her heart.


    "Both of you will understand once we start our cultivation. So, take off your clothes if you want to find out", Zhan Chen looked towards Yin Ran.


    Yin Ran took off her clothes one by one. His little brother protested when she unwrapped her two massive mountains. Yin Ran took off thest piece of her undergarments and looked charmingly towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself anymore. He pulled her closer and ced his mouth on the red cherry atop her mountain. He circled his tongue around her cherries and Yin Ran closed his eyes on pleasure.


    Zhan Chen yed with her breasts for a while. Then moved his hand towards the ce between her legs. He lowered his head for a kiss while rubbing the entrance of her sacred cave.


    "Senior brother, can we start? I can''t handle it anymore", Yin Ran spoke after few moments. Her sacred cave was already wet even before Zhan Chen had touched her. After Zhan Chen''s stimtion, she was already on verge of reaching her peak.


    "As you wish. We will truly be man and woman after today''s cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke. He gentlyid her on the ground and folded her legs.


    He pushed apart her thighs and her sacred cave becamepletely bare infront of his eyes. Her cave entrance had reddish skin and the most eye-catching part was the patch that she grew just above her cave entrance. Zhan Chen had asked her to not cut her patch in thest meet and she had respected his wish.


    Zhan Chen ced his hand on her silky patch and rubbed his thumb on her entrance a little. Yin Ran waspletely prepared by the time he uncaged his dragon.


    An enjoying expression appeared on her face when Zhan Chen rubbed her entrance with his dragon. Zhan Chen warned her to be ready and trusted with force.


    "Ahhh~", Yin Ran cried out in pain after the barrier broke. Zhan Chen hurriedly poked some nerves and lessened her pain.


    "Senior brother Chen, please continue", she spoke after a while. There was a look of anticipation on her face as she waited for Zhan Chen''s onught.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist after hearing her words. His thrusts were slow yet deep enough to make Yin Ran''s mind wander in pleasure. Her pleasure became intensified with each thrust of Zhan Chen. She finally gave up after receiving a deep thrust.


    A magical scene appeared just after she released her holy water. A faint diagram slowly materialized in the air as the thickness of yinyang energy started to increase dramatically.


    Zhan Chen wouldn''t let the yinyang diagram absorb the primordial yin essence of Yin Ran. So, he absorbed her yin essence by himself. The Yinyang diagram disappeared after he absorbed all the primordial yin essence of Yin Ran.

 Chapter 346 Inside The Main Hall

    "Wow! Such pure energy!", Hui Ling eximed. She could tell that the energy was pure source of yin and yang.


    "Both of you need to use the Yin nourishment technique during our dual cultivation. The technique will help you in absorbing the energy from the surrounding",Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, let me try the technique this time. I want to see how much of this energy I can absorb", Hui Ling spoke. She started to take off her clothes even without Zhan Chen''smand. Zhan Chen''s little brother trembled after seeing her alluring body.


    Hui Ling felt pleased after noticing the desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes. She walked forward and held the dragon of Zhan Chen with her hand.


    Zhan Chen cupped her face and ced a kiss on her lips. Hui Ling also responded actively as both of them shared a passionate kiss with eachother.


    "Senior brother, can I lick it?", she asked with a charming expression. She was already stroking the dragon of Zhan Chen while asking for his permission.


    Zhan Chen had no reason to deny. So, he happily agreed. Hui Ling knelt down and took the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    Yin Ran chose to join her after taking a brief rest. Both of the girls struck out their tongues and did their best to please Zhan Chen.


    Hui Ling was more proactive than Yin Ran. She went beyond the base of Zhan Chen''s spear and started lick the family jewels of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt overwhelmed by both of their enthusiasm. Veins started to appear on his dragon as he received the care of both Yin Ran and Hui Ling.


    He shoved his dragon inside Yin Ran''s mouth and started to move his waist. Yin Ran quitely cooperated as she moved her head front and back.


    He let her go when she felt breathless. He shifted his Target to Hui Ling and shoved his dragon inside her mouth. Hui Ling cooperated with himpletely and tried to adjust with the pace of his thrusts.


    Zhan Chen took the help of their mouths for a while. His dragon was violently throbbing when he let go of both of the girls.


    "Senior brother, it is my tu Hui Ling spoke. She knelt on her all fours and threw an inviting nce towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t waste any moment as he knelt behind Hui Ling. He lowered his head and used his tongue to poke open the entrance of Hui Ling''s cave.


    "Mnnnn~", Hui Ling moaned softly as Zhan Chen''s tongue invaded her sacred cave. Few drops of water escaped from her cave when Zhan Chen withdrew his tongue.


    "Okay, I am putting it in. You need to be ready because you may feel a little pain", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother Chen, don''t worry. I was observing sister Ran when she went through it. I think I can handle it", she replied.


    Zhan Chen rubbed the entrance of her sacred cave with his dragon before pushing it inside. He gave a slow yet powerful thrust and the barrier separating him and Hui Ling loosened up.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Hui Ling felt a little pain but she didn''t express it. She threw an encouraging look towards Zhan Chen after her barrier was broken.


    Zhan Chen poked some of her nerves to make it less painful for her. He started to move his waist slowly and gave ample time for Hui Ling to adjust with his pace.


    Hui Ling decided to use the Yin nourishment technique when Zhan Chen slowed down. To her surprise, pure strands of energy started to enter her pores when she employed the Yin nourishment technique.


    "Senior brother, it is amazing. I can really improve my cultivation when we are doing it", she spoke with an excited look on her face.


    "Good for you, stabilize your cultivation at first stage of Martial ascension realm while we dual cultivate", he spoke. He started to increase his pace gradually and low moans escaped from the mouth of Hui Ling.


    She decided to abandon the cultivation and embrace the pleasure she was receiving at the moment. Zhan Chen decided to change his position as he stood up. He pressed the waist of Hui Ling and made her raise her buttocks.


    He ced his hand on her back and prated her from the top. His thrusts became more rapid as he was at an advantageous position. Hui Ling''s moans gradually became erratic as she couldn''t keep up with the thrusts of Zhan Chen. Her mind got overflooded with pleasure as she lost her controlpletely. She couldn''t realise when she reached her peak and released her holy water. It was only when Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon did she find little bit of rity.


    "Senior brother, thank you. It was so amazing", she spoke with a blissful look on her face.


    Yin Ran knelt on her all fours when Zhan Chen was done with Hui Ling. She threw an inviting look and Zhan Chen straightaway shifted to her side. He pounded her for ten minutes straight and she reached her peak. Zhan Chen didn''t let her go even after she released her holy water. He kept pounding her untill he himself reached his peak.


    "Yin Ran, I am releasing my yang essence. Make sure to absorb all of it", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her closer by her waist and gave a deep thrust.


    His dragon trembled and a huge amount of yang essence came out of it. A line of white trickled down when he pulled his dragon out of Yin Ran ''s cave.


    "Pick any cave you want and go into seclusion. I hope my yang essence will help in boosting your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Yin Ran nodded her head and picked her clothes. Zhan Chen made the barriers disappear and allowed Yin Ran to go out of the main hall.


    He raised the blue barriers again and looked towards Hui Ling. She was also looking at him with anticipation and eagerness in her eyes.


    "Come, sit on myp. Try to practice the Yin nourishment technique while we dual cultivate", he spoke.


    He sat down on the stony floor and invited Hui Ling to sat on hisp. Hui Ling ced both of her legs on either side of Zhan Chen''s waist and sat on the top of his dragon.


    "Great, now try to practice the technique. Hopefully, minimal movement from my part will help you to concentrate on the Yin nourishment technique", he spoke.


    Hui Ling tried to concentrate and result was unexpected for her. Her speed of cultivation multiplied as she used the Yin nourishment technique while practicing dual cultivation with Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 347 An Unending Spring

    "Now try to use the technique while moving. You should be able to practice the Yin nourishment technique no matter how intense the activity we are engaging in", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, I will try my best", Hui Ling replied. Zhan Chen started to move her body by holding her waist while both of them were connected in a sitting position.


    "Senior brother, it feels so different and rxing", Hui Lingmented. There was a smitten look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled her more closer and ced his mouth on her shapely breasts. Hui Ling closed her eyes in pleasure as Zhan Chen sucked on her bouncy peaks.


    "Hui Ling, I am lying down. It is up to you to move from now on", Zhan Chen spoke. He lowered his head to lie down while both of them were connected with eachother.


    "Senior brother, how should I move?", Hui Ling asked with a confused expression. Zhan Chen guided her a little and she quickly understood. She started move her hips up and and down while cing both of her palms on Zhan Chen''s chest.


    "Senior brother, it feels incredible", she spoke while moving her body. She gradually increased her pace and finally reached her peak.Her body convulsed mildly as she released her holy water on top of Zhan Chen''s body.


    Zhan Chen pulled her closer and both of them shared a kiss with eachother. Hui Ling looked towards Zhan Chen with a loving expression on her face.


    "Senior brother, can I stay like this for a while?", she looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She cuddled with Zhan Chen while Zhan Chen''s dragon was still inside her sacred cave.


    "Senior brother, please continue to lie down. Let me take care of it while you take some rest", Hui Ling spoke. She separated herself from Zhan Chen and crouched down beside Zhan Chen.


    "Hui Ling, wait a minute? I want to know whether you have any problem if someone else joins us?", Zhan Chen looked towards Hui Ling.


    "Senior brother, who is going to join us? Is she another woman of yours?", Hui Ling asked with a slightly apprehensive expression.


    "She is Li Shu. She has been cultivating inside a cave but now she has decided to end her seclusion", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, I don''t have any problem. If sister Shu has any problem then I can make way for her", Hui Ling spoke. She grabbed Zhan Chen''s dragon and put her mouth on it.


    --------------------


    "Li Shu, I am dual cultivating now. If you want then you can join us", Zhan Chen transferred a message to Li Shu''s mind. Li Shu felt startled because she could somehow heard Zhan Chen''s words inside her mind.


    "Young master, where are you?", she asked with a surprised look on her face.


    "Come to the main hall", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Shu nodded her head and lifted her personal cave. She felt surprised after seeing blue barriers in the middle of the main hall.


    The blue barriers disappeared on their own when Li Shu walked towards it. She stepped inside and Zhan Chen raised the blue barriers again.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Hui Ling stopped for a moment as she didn''t know how Li Shu would react. Sometimester she realised that her worries were misced because Li Shu waspletely fine with all the women whoever were cultivating with Zhan Chen.


    "Li Shu, how is your cultivation going?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Young master, it is going great. I just need another seclusion and I can break through to the fifth stage of True essence realm", Li Shu replied.


    "You don''t have to worry about your cultivation. Dual cultivate with me and you may soon reach the peak of True essence realm", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, as you wish", she replied with a smile on her face.


    "Meet Hui Ling, she is an inner court disciple of the Martial peak. She has agreed to be my woman along with her friend Yin Ran", Zhan Chen spoke. He introduced Li Shu to the kneeling Hui Ling.


    "Senior sister Ling, can I join?", Li Shu asked. Hui Ling nodded her head and Li Shu joined alongside Hui Ling to please Zhan Chen.


    Li Shu started to lick the family jewels of Zhan Chen while Hui Ling was taking care of Zhan Chen''s dragon. Both of them exchanged their role after a while as Li Shu started to lick the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Li Shu was more proficient in using her mouthpared to Hui Ling. She pushed her mouth as far as she could and held the dragon of Zhan Chen with her mouth. She wrapped her tongue around Zhan Chen''s dragon and Zhan Chen felt like bursting. He started to move his waist as his dragon reached deeper corner of Li Shu''s mouth. Hui Ling was quitely observing the skills of Li Shu. She tried to imitate her and Zhan Chen felt as if he was floating in the heaven by the amount of pleasure he was receiving. He let the girls did as they please and enjoyed their care and enthusiasm.


    "Stop, it should be enough for now", Zhan Chen spoke. He stood up and looked towards Hui Ling.


    "Get on your fours", he spoke to her. Hui Ling nodded her head and obediently showed her back to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen admired the view for a moment before prating her cave entrance with his dragon.


    Hui Ling initially tried the practice the Yin nourishment technique. But the overbearing thrusts of Zhan Chen made her change her mind. She decided to embrace the pleasure and moaned out charmingly.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah", the sound of debauchery rang in the air as both of their thighs collided. Hui Ling once again surrendered herself after receiving the thrusts of Zhan Chen for fifteen minutes straight.


    Arge diagram appeared in the air after Hui Ling released her holy water. The Yinyang diagram came as a surprise for Li Shu. So, Zhan Chen had to speak a little to quell her curiousity.


    "The formation is designed in a way that it can absorb all sources of yin and yang. It can absorb essence energy from the surrounding and turn it into pure source of yin and yang. You can receive the benefit if you practice the Yin nourishment technique while we dual cultivate", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Now get on your fours. Circte the Yin nourishment technique while both of us are connected", he further spoke.


    Li Shu followed his words obediently and knelt on her all fours. She threw an inviting look towards Zhan Chen while exposing her back to him.

 Chapter 348 Long Xinyus Demand

    Zhan Chen received a mental message while dual cultivating with Hui Ling and Li Shu. A smile appeared on his face while he was pounding Li Shu from her back.


    ''So, the food for the little girl is here'', he thought to himself. He withdrew his dragon from the cave of Li Shu and she felt confused as a result. She was very much eager to continue her adventure with him.


    "Li Shu, I am sorry. I have to leave for few minutes as the matter at hand is more urgent. We can continue after half an hour at most", he looked towards Li Shu.


    "Young master, don''t worry about it. I will wait with elder sister Hui Ling for your retu Li Shu replied.


    Zhan Chen thanked both of the girls for their understanding before going out of the caveplex. He left his mountain and walked towards the Earth peak.


    Wang Zhen was already waiting for him when he climbed the Earth peak. He came out from his cave and greeted Zhan Chen.


    "How was your hunt?", Zhan Chen looked towards Wang Zhen after meeting him infront of his cave.


    "Master, my hunt went good but the situation outside is not looking promising at the moment. Many experts havee out of their seclusions and were searching for the missing magical beasts", Wang Zhen spoke. "Have youe across any fifth tier or sixth tier magical beasts during your journey?", Zhan Chen looked towards Wang Zhen. He was taking interest in this matter because he was concerned about the safety of the shadoe panther. He had left her near a forest before entering the Dragon province.


    "Master, I have looked throughly with my soul consciousness but I couldn''t find any trace of fifth tier or sixth tier magical beasts inside the border of the Earth province. I have to enter the Dragon province for hunting the fifth tier magical beasts", Wang Zhen spoke.


    "Looks like I have to move personally. She is facing danger while I cultivate peacefully inside the Xuantian sect ", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He asked Wang Zhen to handover the magical beasts that he had hunted during his journey.


    --------------------


    "Long Xinyu,e out", Zhan Chen shouted infront of the cave where Long Xinyu was staying. He had to wait for a while before Long Xinyu showed herself. There was a sleepy look on her face as she floated infront of Zhan Chen.


    "Little girl, your food is here. It can''t be much help to you but I think you can manage with the amount of meat I have brought", he spoke to Long Xinyu.


    "How many times do I have to tell you that I am no little?", Long Xinyu looked towards Zhan Chen with a displeased expression. Zhan Chen found she was looking much more lovely with the displeased expression on her face.


    "Okay, I am sorry. Now check these two spatial rings and tell me if you like these magical beasts or not", he spoke while taking out two spatial rings from his robe.


    An excited expression appeared on the face of Long Xinyu as soon as Zhan Chen brought out the spatial rings. She did her best to hide her excitement and took the two spatial rings from Zhan Chen''s hand.


    "Two monkeys, one buffalo, two wolves, three tigers! These are barely enough but I am expecting a young bear or something", Long Xinyu muttered. A thought striked her mind the moment Zhan Chen was nning to leave her.


    "You have brought the food but how am I supposed to eat these? I am not a barbarian like some of my nsmen who would love to eat meat raw", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Gulu!", a rumbling came from her stomach as her face got reddened.


    "Are not you a dragon?", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu with a baffled expression on his face. He couldn''t understand how a dragon could have problem with eating meat as it was.


    "I am a dragon but it does not mean I love to chew raw meat. Neither my mother not I have ever eaten raw meat in our life", Long Xinyu spoke.


    "Then what are you expecting me to do?", Zhan Chen asked while massaging his head. He was in a hurry because his little brother was protesting since a long time ago.


    "Ask someone to cook them. I can''t eat raw meat no matter how much you give me", Long Xinyu spoke. She was feeling slightly apologetic as she was demanding more than what she could ask.


    "Fine, give me a little time. I will call you once the meat is cooked", he spoke to Long Xinyu.


    "Thank you. I will not call you baddie if you get the meat cooked", she spoke with a sincere expression on her face. Zhan Chen smiled because it was the first time she had thanked him since they met in the grand sectpetition.


    ''This girl is still a child inside her mind. Her cultivation base aside, she has yet to experience the turmoils of the cultivation world'', he thought to himself while walking towards the main hall.


    Hui Ling and Li Shu were talking with eachother when Zhan Chen strode into the main hall. Both of them smiled looking at eachother after seeing Zhan Chen.


    "What are you two discussing in my absence?", Zhan Chen felt slightly curious after seeing their smile. Both Hui Ling and Li Shu blushed a little after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior brother Chen, I have heard that you are more wild with sister Shu and sister Min. She told me that it feels the best when you bepletely berserk infront of them", Hui Ling spoke picking up her courage. There was a look of expectation on her face as she spoke to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu and she tried to avoid his eyes. Her face waspletely reddened as she felt extremely shy all of a sudden. She had never imagined that she would be sold out like this by Hui Ling.


    "Li Shu, what is there to feel shy? I have already figured out your preference after cultivating with you so many times", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "The interesting thing is even Hui Ling seems to have a simr taste like you. So, it bes more exciting for me now. I promise both of you will be given the treatment that both of you wished for", he further added.

 Chapter 349 Search For The Successor

    Somewhere in the starry sky, a gigantic city was located. The city was sorge that even the Longyang city would look minisculepared to the proportion of the city.


    The city itself wasrge and full of life but the most eye catching location of the city was the pce hanging in the air. The size of the pce itself could bepared to an average city of the Central region.


    Currently, inside that hanging pce, there was argemotion. A gathering of experts were organised and everyone''s face looked tense as a result. There was arge hall in the center most location of the pce. The hall wasrge enough to aodate thousands of experts.


    The hall had a eastern-western orientation and there was a long staircase at the end of the eastern direction. The long staircase led to two gigantic thrones and everyone had a look of reverence whenever their eyes fell upon the empty thrones.


    An old man was standing below the empty thrones. He was holding an odd looking scepter in his hand and his focus was towards the western direction of the hall.


    Experts started to pour into the main hall one by one and the everyone who were present waited patiently for the old man to speak. Time passed by slowly and finally the old man chose to act.


    He knocked his sceptor on the ground and the entrance to the main hall started to close on it''s own.


    "Grand elder, can you tell us? Why have you summoned us in such a hurry?", an expert who was standing below the stair case asked. All the experts has simr questions in their minds as they looked towards the old man for an answer.


    "Everyone, there is a reason why I have to use the emergency measures to call all of you. The matter is very important for the survival of our Gemini pce", the old man spoke. There was utmost seriousness on his face as he described the reason to gather everyone in the main hall.


    "Grand elder, what actually happened? Is the Phantasm cloud gate nning to attack us? Or the matter is more grave than I think?", another expert asked. He had a warrior like appearance and faint murderous aura wasing out from his body.


    "Zhao Xinghai, rx. The matter is not of concern as you think. But the matter is very important because it is rted to the pce masters of our Gemini sect", the old man replied.


    Argemotion immediately started in the main hall after the grand elder gave the rification. There was curiousity and excitement on many experts'' face as they waited for the grand elder to exin his words.


    "Everyone, as you know the revered pce masters of our sect has left us almost sixty years ago. Both of them were injured during one of their visit to the forbiddennds and they sumbed to the soul injuries as a result.


    Our Gemini pce is without any sessor since then because the core art is too difficult to learn and two person needs to haveplete sync with eachother to master it.


    I have tried to nurture few disciples but no cultivator of our Gemini pce is able to master the core art. I am thinking it is almost impossible to find sessors to the throne but thankfully I have got a good news today. It is the weapon spirit of the supreme treasure who has informed me regarding this matter", the old man spoke. There was a shard of happiness on his stoic face as he exined the matter to the gathered experts.


    "Grand elder, you have news about sessors?", the experts gathered below the stair case asked. There was visible excitement on their faces as they waited for the grand elder to reply.


    "It is the weapon spirit of the supreme treasure who has informed me. The weapon spirit rises from it''s long slumber and was able to sense the location of new sessors", the old man spoke.


    "Grand elder, quickly tell us the location. We need to ensure their safety before they could reach our Gemini pce", the expert with the warrior like appearance spoke. Other experts were also of same opinions as they wanted to ensure safety of their new pce masters.


    "The location is slightly tricky. The sessors are based in a of the lower world which is adjacent to the shadows", the old man spoke.


    "Grand elder, allow me to go there. I will send some of my subordinates who are yet to reach the immortal realm", a female expert volunteered.


    "Ning Xuefei, you know this matter is how important for our Gemini pce. The survival of our Gemini pcepletely depends on it. So, I need you to promise me that you will be careful and protect the sessors no matter what is the cost", the old man replied.


    "Grand elder, I understand the importance of the matter. I promise on the honour of my Moon hall that we will definitely bring the sessors of our Gemini pce", the female expert spoke solemnly.


    "Okay, I am assured now. You are allowed to use any of our battleships to wee our new pce masters", the grand elder spoke.


    "I am also going", the warrior like expert spoke. He looked towards the grand elder for his consent.


    "Okay, bring Zhao Xinghai along. The safety of the battleship will bepleted assured if he goes with you", the old man spoke.


    "The rest of you are not allowed to leave the Gemini pce. I don''t want to take a chance before the sessors arrive safely", the old man looked towards the other experts. Few experts wanted to protest but they suppressed theirints in their hearts after seeing the stern look on grand elder''s face.


    The grand elder knocked the sceptor on the ground once again and the doors to the main hall started to open. Only two experts, Ning Xuefei and Zhao Xinghai left the main hall. The rest stayed where they were along with the grand elder.


    ---------------------


    "Pah!", a loud p resonated in the air as Hui Ling closed her eyes in delight. A little moan escaped her mouth as Zhan Chen gave a sudden thrust from her backside.


    Zhan Chen held her hair and gave few thrusts in quick session. Hui Ling felt like floating in the air as she expected a long onught from Zhan Chen. A questioning look appeared on her face as Zhan Chen removed his dragon suddenly.Infront of her stupified eyes, Zhan Chen went to pound Li Shu who seemed to bepletely ready for the asion.


    "Ling Hui, how are you feeling now?", Zhan Chen smirked at Ling Hui after pounding Li Shu for some time. He withdrew his dragon before Li Shu would reach her peak.


    "Senior brother, please don''t do this. I feel like dying if you don''t do anything now", Hui Ling begged. Her entire body was burning as she was made to wait for dual cultivation.

 Chapter 350 Cooking Skills Are Always An Advantage

    There was a blissful look on both Li Shu and Ling Hui''s face by the time Zhan Chen was done with them. He still wanted to continue but both of the girls were already at their limit.


    "Ling Hui, enter seclusion like your sister Yin Ran. You should use the Yin nourishment technique to properly absorb my yang essence. I hope your cultivation will improve after all the dual cultivation we have been through", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, thanks for your concern. I will do my best to increase my cultivation", Hui Ling spoke. She bade farewell to both Li Shu and Zhan Chen and picked an empty cave for her seclusion.


    "Do you want to taste some magical beast meat?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu who was lying on the stone floor with a serene look on her face.


    "I want to have a little if they tastes good", Li Shu replied.


    "Then wait for some time. I have to arrange some materials before I start cooking the magical beast meat", Zhan Chen spoke. He waited for Li Shu to dress up before leaving the main hall.


    ''Young master can cook also?'', Li Shu thought to herself in amazement after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    -----------------


    "Zhan Chen, why are you here?", Liu Hua felt pleasantly surprised after seeing Zhan Chen in the treasure hall. She came out to greet him and asked him about his reason for visit.


    "I need some formation materials for a small scale sky grade formation. I need your help in collecting them", he spoke to Liu Hua.


    "Tell me which materials you need? I have to check whether the treasure hall has these materials or not", Liu Hua spoke.


    "A sixth grade fire ore,


    ''Few pieces of spirit stone with fire elemental property''


    ''A branch of crimson oak''


    ''Pit stones of good quality'', beside these I also need some spices and condiments suitable for cooking meat", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What are you nning?", Liu Hua looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion after listening to his ordinary requirements. She was much more curious about the spices and condiments that Zhan Chen had requested.


    "Beauty, tell me if they are avable or not. I have to prepare some magical beasts meat so that I can feed a starving creature", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Can Ie with you?", Liu Hua asked. She felt slightly curious after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    "You are wee. We can n something else after the magical beasts meat are prepared", Zhan Chen spoke with a meaningful look on his face. Liu Hua blushed after hearing his words. She spoke him to wait and left the ground floor for fetching all the materials that Zhan Chen had needed.


    "I have picked up all the materials you have requested. But you need to wait for a while before my subordinate could bring spices ording to your requirement", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Ask him to bring the spices to my mountain. We need to prepare the formation before the spices arrive", Zhan Chen spoke. Liu Hua nodded her head and instructed her subordinates to bring spices to Zhan Chen''s mountain. She herself left with Zhan Chen as she was feeling curious about Zhan Chen''s deeds.


    Zhan Chen took out a formation pen and started carving on the formation materials that Liu Hua had brought. Liu Hua herself was standing at a distance and observing the skill of Zhan Chen with unblinking eyes.


    Zhan Chen didn''t take much time to carve divine symbols on the formation materials. He ced thest piece of pit stone aside and looked at his surrounding ces to choose a suitable location for a formation.


    A tterned area near his caveplex attracted his attention and he decided to carve the formation in that location.


    He waved his hand and an energy sword went towards the said location. He dug up few holes in a triangr position with the help of the energy sword.


    The energy sword vanished as soon as the holes were dug up. Zhan Chen tapped into his vast pool of spirit energy and lifted up the formation materials with the help of his spirit energy.


    He ced the formation materials at their appropriate location and started to draw illusory spirit lines. The formation came alive when he drew up the three lines to connect with the core of the formation.


    Elemental fluctuation arose anda beautiful violet and crimson coloured fire lit up at the center of the formation. "How pretty!", Liu Hua murmured softly after seeing the fire that Zhan Chen had prepared. There was a look of admiration and amazement on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Beauty, are you impressed?", Zhan Chen came close to her and whispered near her ear. Liu Hua nodded her head with a pink blush on her face.


    "Then why don''t you stay for few hours. I promise I will work hard to make you happy", Zhan Chen whispered.


    "Shameless!", Liu Hua''s face became crimson after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She thought about their earlier moments and her heart gushed with sweetness and love.


    "Let my subordinatee first. We will see if I can manage some time or not", she replied to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pestered her with sweet nothings and Liu Hua was blushing hard when her subordinate shown up. She took a breath in relief and looked towards Zhan Chen with an aggrieved expression.


    "Elder Hua, I could gather this much in this short period. Tell me if you need more of these ingredients", the subordinate of Liu Hua spoke after handing over a spatial ring.


    "No, this should be enough. Return to the treasure hall. I will spend some time here before getting back", Liu Hua spoke after transferring all the ingredients into her own spatial ring. She handed over the empty spatial ring to her subordinate.


    Zhan Chen dashed towards the nearby forest after Liu Hua''s subordinate left his mountain. He picked up five robust looking wood logs and returned to the formation ce.


    Infront of the curious eyes of Liu Hua, he arranged the wood logs in a proper cooking position. A slender wooden log was ced atop the fire where he could cook the magical beasts meat.


    Zhan Chen removed a tier five water buffalo from his spatial ring and sliced the water buffalo into few even pieces. Liu Hua was astonished after seeing how skillfully he cut the buffalo into few even pieces.


    "Pass the spices and condiment to me", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua. He removed his own spatial ring and sent it towards her. Liu Hua quickly transferred all the condiments and gave the spatial ring back to Zhan Chen. She watched curiously as Zhan Chen started to cook the meat of water buffalo.

 Chapter 351 Use Of Heart Seeking Technique

    Long Xinyu was lying on a stone bed when her nose twitched a little. She opened her eyes and tried to inhale the smell.


    ''Hmm! Such a nice smell!'', she murmured with curious look on on her face. The next moment, she disappeared from the cave and appeared near the formation where Zhan Chen was cooking the water buffalo.


    "Is it prepared already? Can I eat?", she asked with an impatient expression on her face. Liu Hua who was watching from the side, got startled for a moment. She couldn''t understand from where this pretty looking girl infront of her suddenly appeared.


    "Long Xinyu, why are you here? Have not I told you to hide yourself?", Zhan Chen asked with frown on his face. He felt worried because she might be found out by the peak experts of the Xuantian sect.


    p¦Á§ád¦Á §«?¦Í¨º|,§ã¨°§® "I will leave after taking a bite. But you have to promise me that you will hand over all of these to me", she demanded with a greedy expression on her face.


    "Fine, I will give you all except few pieces. I most treat my other guests since they are also waiting from the beginning", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will wait", she dered and wait near the formation. There was a cautious look on her face as she took a stock of other bystanders.


    Liu Hua was apanying Zhan Chen since the beginning. Li Shu had alsoe out from the caveplex as she felt curious about what Zhan Chen was doing.


    The smell of the meat of water buffalo attracted Hu Daiyu also. She felt curious about the smell and left her cave. She didn''t approach Zhan Chen immediately rather she chose to observe from a distance.


    She was surprised to see an elder like Liu Hua on Zhan Chen''s mountain. She felt more curious after seeing a pretty looking girl like Long Xinyu who had appeared near the formation like a ghost.


    Liu Hua felt amused after seeing the cautious expression on the face of Long Xinyu. She couldn''t understand why a little girl like Long Xinyu was so greedy towards meat.


    "Hello, I am Liu Hua. can I have your name please?", she asked Long Xinyu with a curious expression on her face.


    "I am Long Xinyu", Long Xinyu replied hurriedly. She didn''t even turn to look at Liu Hua as all her attention was on the water buffalo meat.


    "I think it is cooked", she thought after a while. She flew swiftly towards the wooden log and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I am taking a little.....", she spoke and removed arge piece of meat. Then infront of the dumbfounded onlookers, she consumed therge piece of meat within few seconds. She waspletely through in consuming the meat as there was not even a bone left when she finished therge piece of meat.


    "Wow, it is so tasty", she looked towards Zhan Chen with an excited expression. A greedy expression appeared on her face after she saw all the reddened meat above the fire.


    You can take few more pieces if you want", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face. He waspletely vignt towards the surrounding as he wanted to hide Long Xinyu from other experts'' soul consciousness.


    Long Xinyu swiftly removed another piece of meat and consumed itpletely within few more bites. Gradually, she became more courageous as the speed of her eating increased.


    "Little girl, leave thest three piece behind. I will cook you some more after finishing the matter at hand", Zhan Chen spoke. He warned her because she may had consumed the entire water buffalo without sharing a portion with other girls.


    "Okay, I will leave three", she spoke with a reluctant expression. She took a look at all the three girls before flying towards the caveplex.


    "Zhan Chen, who is she?", Liu Hua asked with a curious expression after Long Xinyu left. She could sense an unfathomable aura when she observed Long Xinyu with her soul consciousness.


    "Don''t mind her. She is only a troublemaker. Let us invite others and enjoy the meat we have", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior sister Daiyu, why don''t you join us?", Zhan Chen called Hu Daiyu who was standing at a distance. She hesitated for a moment before walking towards Zhan Chen. She couldn''t tell why but she felt joy when Zhan Chen called her.


    Zhan Chen plucked few big leaves from the nearby forest. He removed the remaining meat and ced them on the leaves from the forest.


    He invited Li Shu also and all the three girls started to eat after his insistence. Li Shu and Liu Hua forced him to kin them and four of them tasted the meat of water buffalo. Zhan Chen noticed the sneaky nces of Hu Daiyu towards him. He felt curious and used the Heart seeking technique on her.


    "Young master, it tastes so good", Li Shu was the first to praise. There was pure admiration on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Liu Hua didn''t tell anything but there was a look of admiration on her face. Same was true for Hu Daiyu but she tried to avoid looking at Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister Daiyu, we need to have a talk. I will visit you whenever I have time", Zhan Chen spoke. Hu Daiyu blushed a little bit she hid her emotion immediately. She nodded her head and continued to taste the meat of water buffalo.


    "Elder Hua, farewell. Farewell junior sister, farewell junior brother Chen", Hu Daiyu was the first to leave the gathering. She took a look at Zhan Chen before walking towards her cave.


    "Zhan Chen, why is she here? Don''t tell me she is one of your woman?", Liu Hua asked Zhan Chen. There was a serious expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen for an answer.


    "Is there a problem if I take her as my woman?", Zhan Chen felt confused.


    "Of course there is. Their stone tribe do not allow intermixing with other humans", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Is there such a thing? Can''t I make a barbarian girl my woman if she likes me?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrows.


    "Their tradition is carried on since ancient times. Barbarian race never allows a talented man or woman of their tribe to marry with other humans", Liu Hua spoke.


    "It means it is still allowed if the disciples are less talented", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, but such cases are very rare. One need to get permission from the tribe head before marrying with a barbarian boy or girl", Liu Hua replied.

 Chapter 352 Seeking The Permission Of Liu Hua

    Liu Hua entered the caveplex along with Zhan Chen and Li Shu. They saw Yin Ran waiting for them when all of them entered main hall.


    "Elder Hua!", Yin Ran felt apprehensive for a moment. She quickly shown her respect by greeting her. Zhan Chen introduced Li Shu to Yin Ran and revealed her rtionship with Liu Hua to both Li Shu and Yin Ran.


    "Even elder Hua....!", Yin Ran stuttered in surprise. She could not believe that the famous elder of the treasure hall was one of Zhan Chen''s woman like them.


    "Beauty, how about cultivating together? If you like my idea, then all four of us can cultivate here", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Hua felt shy all of a sudden after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She felt slightly ufortable after looking at Li Shu and Yin Ran.


    "Okay, no need to give an answer. I understand your concern. We will cultivate separately for now", he spoke to Liu Hua.


    "Girls, you can talk with eachother while I am with elder Hua. I will call you soon if she changes her mind", Zhan Chen sent a mental message to both Yin Ran and Li Shu. Both of them nodded their heads and left the main hall together.


    "Zhan Chen, will they feel bad?", Liu Hua asked with an apprehensive look on her face after Li Shu and Yin Ran left. She felt slightly apologetic because both Li Shu and Yin Ran had to leave because of her presence.


    "You don''t have to worry. I will call them if you change your mind. For now, you should think about us", Zhan Chen spoke. He leaned slightly for a kiss and Liu Hua obliged happily. Both of their tongues connected as they tasted eachother''s saliva.


    Zhan Chen gave a signal with his hand and blue barriers rose on their own. Liu Hua felt morefortable after seeing the enclosed space.


    "Zhan Chen, can you take off all of your clothes. I have been thinking about it while I am alone in the treasure hall", she spoke with a blush on her face.


    "Ofcourse, I want to know what you have been thinking", Zhan Chen spoke with a smirk on his face. He removed his robe and pant and presented his bare body to Liu Hua.


    "Hmm, you are actually looking good. I have been thinking about how to make you feel better when we meet", she spoke with a blush on her face. She walked closer to Zhan Chen and held the dragon of Zhan Chen with her hand.


    She started to stroke Zhan Chen''s dragon while initiating a kiss with Zhan Chen. This time, both of them shared a more passionate kiss while she was stroking Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Zhan Chen, I have never known this feeling. It is like I don''t want to stay a moment without you", Liu Hua spoke with an emotional expression on her face. She had no person which she could call family. So, Zhan Chen''s appearance was like a shower of rain in her deserted life.


    "Sorry, I didn''t know you miss me so much. Otherwise, I would have not let you go after our union", Zhan Chen spoke. He leaned forward for another kiss and Liu Hua obliged. They kept kissing eachother for almost fifteen minutes long.


    "Zhan Chen, call both of them. It will be unreasonable if we make them wait like this. I want to see whatever I can do for you while all of are together", she spoke with a tender expression on her face.<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    Zhan Chen sent a mental message to Li Shu and Yin Ran and both of them walked towards the barrier. He lowered the barrier and both of them walked in.


    "Girls, she is not yetfortable but she is trying her best. So, we should start first and let her join us on her own", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, what do you want us to do?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen. Her gaze automatically went downward as she admired the raised spear of her young master.


    "Kneel down both of you. I want to see if you are willing to make me feel good or not", Zhan Chen spoke. Both Li Shu and Yin Ran knelt down obediently as they waited for Zhan Chen''s response. Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua before walking towards both Yin Ran and Li Shu.


    He pushed his dragon inside Li Shu''s mouth after walking close to them. Li Shu did her best to swallow his dragon while an enjoying look appeared on his face. He removed his dragon after sometime and gave a breather to Li Shu. Yin Ran used her mouth to please him while Li Shu was catching her breath.


    Both of the girls used their mouth skillfully and a look of enjoyment appeared on Zhan Chen''s face. Liu Hua asked if she could join them as she was also willing to please Zhan Chen.


    Yin Ran and Li Shu made room for her and she knelt along with them. Three youthful tongues attacked Zhan Chen at the same time as waves of pleasure coarsed through his body.


    "Okay, stop. You three have done enough. Now it is my tu Zhan Chen spoke. He removed all of their clothes one by one and made them kneel on their fours.


    "Liu Hua, are you ready?", he asked before kneeling behind her. He rubbed the entrance of her sacred cave with his dragon before pushing it inside.


    "Pah!", a loud pnded on Li Shu''s buttocks while he was pounding Liu Hua. Li Shu closed her eyes in pleasure as Zhan Chen rubbed the spot where he had pped. He gave the same treatment to Yin Ran while pounding Liu Hua. Yin Ran whimpered in delight after receiving the forceful p from Zhan Chen.


    "Liu Hua, do you want one?", Zhan Chen asked her teasingly. She nodded her head with apprehension after watching the look of enjoyment on both Li Shu and Yin Ran''s face.


    "Then we will do that in a different way. Let me see whether you actually like it or not", Zhan Chen spoke. He sat down and pulled Liu Hua towards him. He made her lie on hisp while her belly was getting poked by his dragon.


    "Mmmm~", Liiu Hua moaned as Zhan Chen started to grope her buttocks. Drops of water slid out from her cave as Zhan Chen throughly massaged her bouncy assets.


    "Pah!", he gave a sudden p and Liu Hua''s body convulsed slightly. A jolt of pleasure ran through her body as her cave wall contracted.


    Zhan Chen made her wait for another p and he tranced the curve of her back with his fingers. He gave another p on her buttocks and Liu Hua couldn''t hold herself any longer.


    A huge amount water came out from her cave and drenched the legs of Zhan Chen. Her body convulsed lightly as she lied meekly on Zhan Chen''sp.

 Chapter 353 A Conversation With Ying Chao

    Zhan Chen started pounding Li Shu and Yin Ran after Liu Hua moved to a side. A blush appeared on her face as she saw how Zhan Chen was moving his waist and the blissful look on both Li Shu and Yin Ran''s faces.


    ''He sure have so much tricks. Compared to them, he waspletely gentle with me, the first time we have met'', she thought to herself.


    Li Shu was the first to give up as she couldn''t bear the relentless thrusts of Zhan Chen. A blissful look appeared on her face as she released her holy water.


    "Yin Ran, lie on your back", Zhan Chenmanded. Yin Ran shifted her body position and lied on her back to look at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen crouched near her mouth and she understood what he wanted. She raised her head and took Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen slowly moved his waist as Yin Ran swallowed his dragon. There was a look of enjoyment on his face as his dragon travelled deep inside Yin Ran''s mouth.


    He pulled out his dragon after a while and went back to pound her. He raised both of her legs and inserted his dragon inside the entrance of her holy cave.


    "Ahhhh~", Yin Ran moaned with pleasure as Zhan Chen started to move his waist. She tried to practice the Yin nourishment technique but she had to give up the idea because of the amount of pleasure she was feeling at the moment. Zhan Chen gave one after another passionate thrusts and Yin Ran finally reached her limit. Her body convulsed slightly as she released a copious amount of fragrant water from her sacred cave.


    Zhan Chen turned to look towards Liu Hua after finishing with Yin Ran. A blush appeared on Liu Hua''s face after she noticed Zhan Chen''s gaze towards her. There was a burning desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes. So, Liu Hua immediately understood what he wanted.


    "Zhan Chen, why don''t you lie down? I can use my mouth if you want", she murmured shyly while walking towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her reserved nature. He lied down and let Liu Hua did as she please. Liu Hua knelt beside his waist and used her tongue to please him. She had learned new skills this time after watching Li Shu and Yin Ran.


    She tried to use her tongue as much as possible and teased Zhan Chen''s dragon. She finally employed her lips after putting saliva on the entire rod.


    "Liu Hua, stop. You have done extremely well", Zhan Chen spoke afte a while. He invited her to sit on his dragon and she nodded her head with little apprehension on her face.


    Zhan Chen guided her because it was her first time sitting on his dragon. She was slightly nervous at first but soon started to enjoy the process. She moved her waist up and down and a look of bliss appeared on her face. She moved her waist more passionately after seeing the enjoying look on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disturb her as she rode his dragon for almost fifteen minutes. Her resilllence as a tribtion realm cultivator supported her as she couldst a longer period than both Li Shu and Yin Ran.


    Zhan Chen guided her to use the Yin nourishment technique while cultivating. She learned how to practice the technique while dual cultivating but chose to embrace the pleasure after practicing the Yin nourishment technique for a while. She moved her waist more actively when she was close to reach her peak. Zhan Chen trusted upward along with her and she finally reached her limit. A good amount of holy water came from her cave and drenched the thighs of Zhan Chen. A look of bliss appeared on her face as she leaned down to snuggle with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disturb her when she was resting on his body. She moved away on her own after nting a kiss on Zhan Chen''s lips. Zhan Chen looked at his dragon and it was already preparing to burst at any given moment. He chose to give the chance to Li Shu because her cultivation was still lowpared to other girls.


    "Li Shu, use your mouth on it", he turned to look towards Li Shu. Li Shu epted his proposal gleefully and walked closer to him. She licked Zhan Chen''s dragon with anticipation after seeing the throbbing nerves on it.<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself after few minutes. He pushed Li Shu''s head downward and bursted inside her mouth. His dragon twitched as arge amount of thick liquid entered Li Shu''s mouth.


    "Gulp", a sound of movement came from Li Shu''s throat as she swallowed the huge amount of yang liquid. She was still eager to please Zhan Chen as she started to stroke Zhan Chen''s dragon after swallowing his yang essence.


    "Li Shu, thanks for your intention but I want you to stop. Go and cultivate properly. I want to see you as a Core condensation realm cultivator before you leave the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, as you wish. I will definitely do my best and will not disappoint you", Li Shu replied. She bade her farewell to Zhan Chen, Yin Ran and Liu Hua before leaving the main hall of the caveplex.


    Liu Hua bade her farewell after Li Shu left. She had the Treasure hall to care for. So, she had to leave despite the unwillingness in her heart. Zhan Chen nted a kiss on her lips before she left the main hall. She was blushing like a young girl when she flew out of Zhan Chen''s mountain.


    "Shall we continue?", Zhan Chen looked towards Yin Ran after Liu Hua and Li Shu left. Yin Ran nodded her head happily and knelt down on her fours.


    .


    .


    .


    Yin Ran excused herself from the main hall after the storm of passion ended. Zhan Chen could still continue for indefinite period but she reached her limit after spending some alime with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen sat down cross legged after all the girls left. He operated Celestial yinyang Sutra and the Divine yinyang diagram on his dantian lit up.


    Pure streams of essence energy came out from the diagram and entered his body. Zhan Chen circted the pure streams of energy and condensed them into essence liquid drops.


    His essence energy sea started to expand and he entered the fourth stage of Martial ascension realm with extreme ease. The essence energy still kept pouring and Zhan Chen continued to operated the Celestial yinyang Sutra. His cultivation continued to rise and he was at mid fourth stage of Martial ascension realm by the time he ended his seclusion.


    -------------------


    Zhan Chen took out one of themunication tailsman that Ying Chao had given him and poured his essence energy into it. Themunication tailsman lit up brightly and started to disintegrate after thepse of few seconds.


    ''Hopefully, I can get the flying treasure from elder Chao'', he thought to himself. He walked outside of his cave and looked towards the distance. It took almost fifteen minutes before he could see the silhouette of Ying Chao in the distant sky.


    "Zhan Chen, what is the matter?", Ying Chao asked after Zhan Chen greeted him. There was a look of genuine concern on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 354 A Conversation With Ying Chao (2)

    "Senior, thanks foring. I need your flying treasure urgently to check the safety of someone close to me", Zhan Chen replied.


    "No problem. I can lend you my flying treasure but I want to know where are you going", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, this matter is rted to my pet. I have left her near the border of the Earth province before leaving for the Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen spoke. He decided to exin the matter to Ying Chao to gain his approval for the flying treasure.


    "Your pet! What kind of pet is it that you are so concerned about it?", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen with a baffled expression on his face.


    "Senior, she is very special. You will understand once you see her with your eyes", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Have you heard about the sudden disappearance of fifth tier and above magical beasts?", Ying Chao asked Zhan Chen.


    "Yes senior, that is the exact reason why I am being worried. Her age is low but she was already at the peak fourth tier when I first met her near the Hundred blossom city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "The disappearance of magical beasts is more peculiar than what you imagine. There is certainly a big power involved who is pulling the string behind everyone''s back", Ying Chao spoke. There was a grave look on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I am not nning anything against anyone unless they hurt someone close to me. I only want to ensure her safety before bringing her back to our Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, there is no point in stopping you but allow me toe with you. I will be assure of your safety if we travel together to the forest", Ying Chao spoke. He had a serious look on his face. So, Zhan Chen knew it would be futile to reject his proposal.


    Zhan Chen agreed to the proposal of Ying Chao and both of them flew together out of the Xuantian sect. Ying Chao was an expert in steering his flying treasure. So, it didn''t take time for both of them to reach above the forest where Zhan Chen was separated from the shadow panther.


    ''It seems like she has switched her location", Zhan Chen thought to himself after sensing the soul connection between him and the shadow panther. The connection appeared faint but Zhan Chen could still tell the direction where the shadow panther had gone.


    "Senior, change our direction. We need to check the western direction to find her", Zhan Chen spoke. Ying Chao felt slightly perturbed but he still did ording to what Zhan Chen had said. He shifted the direction of the flying boat and steered it towards the western direction.


    Zhan Chen waited patiently as the flying trasure flew in the westward direction. The soul connection with the shadow panther got stronger, the longer they flew towards the western direction.


    "It is the forest where we have met for the first time", Zhan Chen murmured. Ying Chao decreased the speed of the flying boat after seeing the smile on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Senior, I feel she is here. Please move towards the center most location of this forest and we may find her near her past location ", Zhan Chen spoke. There was little anticipation in his eyes as he looked towards centre of the forest.


    Ying Chao controlled the flying boat and steered it towards the centre. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness stealthily without alerting Ying Chao.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    There was arge tree on the bank of a pond. The branches were dense and one could not see the sun when standing below the tree.


    A panther was lying peacefully on a big branch of the tree. It''s deep bluish body waspletely hidden amidst the thick foliage of therge tree.


    It suddenly opened its eyes when Ying Chao''s flying treasure approached the center of the forest. There was hint of excitement on her beastly face as she raised her head to look at the distant sky.


    Like Zhan Chen, she could also feel the strengthening of the soul connection. She moved her tail with excitement as she felt the presence of Zhan Chen getting stronger.


    Zhan Chen spoke Ying Chao to stop the flying treasure near the bank of the pond. Ying Chaoplied with his request and steered the flying treasure downward to approach the ground.


    Zhan Chen jumped down from the flying treasure when it stopped near the ground. He turned to look at therge tree but the shadow panther was much faster than his expectation.


    "Watch out", Ying Chao could only utter few words when a shadow pounced towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt slightly surprised by the suddenness but he still tackled the shadow panther swiftly.


    He slightly crouched down and lifted the shadow pather with his arms when she jumped towards him. The shadow panther licked his face frantically after Zhan Chen lifted her up. She seemed to have lot of grievances as she expressed her emotion while licking Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Girl, you have gotten big", Zhan Chenmented with a smile on his face. He noticed the surprised expression on the face of Ying Chao and his lips curled up once again.


    "Zhan Chen, tell me the truth. She seems more sentient than an ordinary fourth tier magical beast", Ying Chao asked after a while. He couldn''t hold his curiousity and looked towards Zhan Chen for rification.


    Senior, have you heard about noble beasts?", Zhan Chen asked Ying Chao.


    Ying Chao nodded his head in puzzlement and looked towards Zhan Chen. He observed the shadow panther in Zhan Chen''s arms and a thought striked his mind instantly. A sweat drop appeared on his forehead as soon as he realised the meaning of Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t tell me she is a.....!", he looked towards Zhan Chen with an apprehensive look on his face.


    "Yes senior, your guess is right. She is a noble beast of extraordinary origin", Zhan Chen confirmed the doubt in Ying Chao''s head. He wanted to ce the shadow panther on the ground but she clung to him like a frightened puppy.


    ''So, someone actually came for the fifth tier magical beasts. He had noticed you but you have escaped by using your ability!'', Zhan Chen spoke after knowing the predicament of the shadow panther through their soul consciousness.


    The shadow panther wagged her tail as confirmation as she tried tomunicate with Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen finally knew how frightened she actually was after the said incident. The person behind the disappearance of the fifth stage beasts had left a huge impression in her mind when she faced him near the border of the Earth province.

 Chapter 355 Back To The Xuantian Sect

    "Girl, no need to fear him. I promise he can not touch you after we go back to the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke while rubbing the head of the shadow panther.


    The Shadow panther felt slightly reassured after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She freed herself from Zhan Chen''s embrace and looked towards Ying Chao who hade along with Zhan Chen.


    Ying Chao became surprised after looking at the intelligent eyes of the shadow panther. A doubt appeared in his mind as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, where is her parents? A noble beast like her should not roam unguarded", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen with an apprehensive look on his face. He was fully aware about the heritage of the noble beasts. So, he was wary of any formidable beast expert by the side of the shadow panther.


    "Senior, no need to worry. Her parents seem to have disappeared since she was very small", Zhan Chen spoke. Ying Chao was still feeling apprehensive but his worries lessened after he heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "In that case, let''s hurry up. It will be problematic if her identity is founded by human experts", Ying Chao spoke. Zhan Chen lokked towards the shadow panther after hearing the words of Ying Chao.


    "Girl, let''s leave this ce. You will be safe after I bring you to the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The shadow panther raised her paw like a human after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing her almost human like behaviour. He understood that she was telling him to wait.


    "Growl", the shadow panther growl suddenly after requesting Zhan Chen to wait for her. She scanned the surrounding with her eyes before letting out another growl.


    Zhan Chen was connected with her through their soul links. So, he could understand that she was calling somebody. It took only few moments before the doubt in his mind cleared Another three magical beasts shown up who were the pets of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.


    The shadow panther looked towards Zhan Chen after other three beasts shown up themselves. Zhan Chen found out that she had got attached to other three beasts during his absence.


    ''In general they should be your food, yet you befriended them. It goes to show how far your intelligence has grown despite your cultivation is still at the fourth tier'', Zhan Chen praised the shadow panther inside his mind.


    -----------------


    A group of flying ships appeared in the sky of Luan province all of a sudden. Experts were rmed because they had never seen such exquisite looking flying vessels in their entire life.


    Few emperors tried to see the cultivators inside the flying ships but their attempts resulted in failures because the flying ships were immune to their soul consciousness. They faced some sort of barriers which resisted their soul consciousness.


    The flying ships flew around the Luan province for a while but they finally gathered at a location which was close to the Shen n estate.


    The Shen n members received the news of flying ships from their contacts. A tense atmosphere surrounded their n as the flying ships came flying towards their location.


    "n head, what shall we do?", A mid aged expert looked towards a robust looking old man with an anxious look on his face. Other experts around them were also feeling anxious as they saw the flying treasures closing on their Shen n sky.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Be patient. Get ready to active the sect protection formation at any given time", the robust looking old man calmly said. He flew towards the sky when the flying ships approached the boundary of his Shen n.


    The flying ships stopped in the mid air as soon as the n head of the Shen n came forward to stop them. The transparent barriers on the flying ships disappeared one by one and finally the Shen n members could see the appearance of cultivators who were riding the flying ships.


    The cultivators in the flying ships were divided into two groups. One group was consisted of only female cultivators while the other group was consisted of both male and female cultivators.


    The group consisted of only female cultivators weere d in slivery armours whereas the group consisted of both male and female cultivators were d in deep red armours.


    All cultivators were holding spears in their hands and there seemed to be no emotion on their faces. One could easily guess them as a trained army after seeing their demeanor.


    ''Their cultivation!'', n head of Shen n muttered to himself in surprise after trying to see their cultivation. A drop of sweat appeared on his forehead when a female cultivator in silvery armour stepped forward towards him.


    "Greetings, I am Ning Mei Zhen, a trainee of the Moon legion. I am ordered to receive our pce masters who are currently residing in your ce", the female cultivator spoke after courteously greeting the n head of the Shen n.


    "Your pce masters!", the head of the Shen n asked in confusion. The female cultivator nodded her head firmly as she waited for the n head''s response.


    "Please tell me, who are you looking for? Our n will dly help you if it is under our control", the n head of the Shen n replied. He acted taciturn after guessing the cultivation of all the experts in the flying ships.


    "Thanks for your understanding. My Gemini pce will definitely award you if we manage to find our pce masters", the female cultivator spoke. She took out a crystal clear orb which was glowing brightly at the very moment.


    "Please follow me. This orb will guide us to our pce masters", the female cultivator spoke.


    "Wait, I am alsoing", a male cultivator d in red armour spoke. He stepped forward and appeared near the female cultivator in the slivery armour.


    "Gao Qiang, it is no ce for you to act ording to your wish. This matter is given to our Moon pce to handle", the female cultivator looked coldly towards the male cultivator d in red armour.


    "Ning Mei Zhen, I am not interfering in your work. I am here to ensure the safety of our pce masters", the male cultivator spoke.


    Ning Mei Zhen stared at him coldly before flying towards the interior of the Shen n. An expert of the Shen n wanted to say something but he was stopped by another expert from his n.


    "Brother Quon, why did you stop me?", the cultivator asked with a baffled expression on his face. He kept his voice low. So that, he wouldn''t alert the experts who hade riding the flying ships.

 Chapter 356 A Heaven Shaking Incident

    "Who are you?", Su''er asked with a baffled expression on her face. She couldn''t understand why the beauty infront of her was calling both her and Ling''er as pce masters.


    The same was in the mind of Ling''er as she couldn''t understand what was happening. She looked towards the grandfather of Shen Ruyan who was also apanying the female expert.


    "Grandfather, what is happening here?", the voice of Shen Ruyan came out suddenly. She felt some disturbance in Su''er and Ling''er''s room. So, she had stepped out of her room to check on them.


    "Ruyan!", the grandfather of Shen Ruyan frowned a little. He sent her a mental message to keep calm and looked back towards Su''er and Ling''er.


    "Senior, please get up. I don''t know why are you calling us sisters pce masters", Su''er looked towards Ning Mei Zhen.


    "Pce master, thank you. Let me introduce myself.


    I hope both of you will agree to leave with us after hearing the entire matter", Ning Mei Zhen spoke after getting up. She waited silently for the permission of both Ling''er and Su''er to introduce herself.


    "Young miss", Ling''er was the first to call out Shen Ruyan. She was feeling apprehensive and confused after seeing such respective attitude of the female expert towards them. Su''er also looked towards Shen Ruyan for help. Both of them had never taken an important decision without the involvement of Shen Ruyan. So, at such a confusing moment, both of them looked towards Shen Ruyan for help.


    Ning Mei Zhen creased her burrows slightly after seeing the attitude of Su''er and Ling''er towards Shen Ruyan. She couldn''t stand the fact that her pce masters were acting submissive infront of an ordinary woman.


    "Senior, pardon me for the interruption. Both of them are like my younger sisters and they are always shy infront of strangers. So, I humbly request you to tell us about your purpose of visiting", Shen Ruyan spoke. She was feeling apprehensive yet she chose to confront Ning Mei Zhen.


    ----------------


    The incident of Shen n spread like a wild fire in the entire Centralnd. Many experts including the Imperial Xie n went to visit the Shen n after the flying ships disappeared from the Luan province.


    Zhan Chen heard about the incident after he returned from his trip. It was Nu Quang who informed him about the Shen n when he returned to his mountain.


    "What actually happened? Why would such powerful expertse to take away two maids from the Shen n?", Zhan Chen frowned after hearing the words of Nu Quang. An uneasy feeling rose in his heart after he heard the words of Nu Quang.


    "I must contact Shen Ruyan. It will be good as long as those two girls are not involved", he thought to himself after Nu Quang bade his farewell.


    He was just thinking about visiting the Shen n personally when a familiar person came flying towards his mountain. She was being apanied by an elder of the Sword peak.


    "Liu Nanxi! Why are you here?", Zhan Chen asked with a surprised expression on his face. The reticent beauty had a serious expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "You two Know each other?", the elder from the Sword peak asked with a surprised expression on his face. Zhan Chen nodded his head firmly after hearing the question.


    "Okay, my assignment is over for now. Miss Nanxi, you may look for me in the Sword peak if you need any help", the elder from the Sword peak spoke. He bade farewell to both Zhan Chen and Liu Nanxi before flying away from Zhan Chen''s mountain.


    "Tell me? What happened?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi after the elder from the Sword peak left. Liu Nanxi didn''t say anything in reply but she took out an exquisite looking jade from her spatial ring.


    "Check this. You will get your answer after seeing it", Liu Nanxi gave the exquisite looking jade to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen checked the jade with his soul consciousness and a surprised expression appeared on his face. "A peak heaven grade memory jade!", he murmured after examining the jade in his hand.


    He sent a trace of his essence energy into the exquisite looking jade and the memory jade lit up.Two miniature figures appeared in the air after Zhan Chen activated the memory jade.


    "Young master, we are sorry", the twin miniature figures spoke at once. Zhan Chen felt like his heart skipped a beat because the twin miniature figures were Su''er and Ling''er.


    "Young master, the cultivation technique we have received from the Cleansing incense ancient sect was Celestial Harmony technique. This technique is rted with the Gemini pce from the immortal world", the figure of Su''er was first to speak.


    "Young master, they are insisting us to follow them and we didn''t wish to trouble young miss and her n. Moreover, from the behaviour of the experts of Gemini pce, we can guess that they will not make our life difficult", the figure of Ling''er added.


    "Young master, we have wanted to see you before we leave but young miss stopped us from bringing up your matter. There may be something untoward happened if we have shown up with the Gemini pce slexperts. So, we have avoided meeting you. Hopefully, we cane back soon and serve young master", Su''er spoke. Zhan Chen could tell that both of the girls were feeling mncholic while leaving behind the message for him. He clenched his fists after the twin figures disappeared from the air.


    "Immortal world, Gemini pce. I vow I will go there as soon as possible. My dream, you girls are leaving it on my behalf. Please have patience while I make my way towards that legendary world", Zhan Chen muttered. He felt slightly sad but this parting made him more determined than ever. Liu Nanxi felt happy after seeing how easily Zhan Chen overcame his sadness. She felt impressed after seeing the burning determination in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Nanxi, how is Ruyan doing? Is she sad after Su''er and Ling''er left her?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi.


    "Young miss is obviously sad but she has hidden it. She is currently entertaining the guests from various powers who hase to visit the Shen n after experts from the Gemini pce has vanished", Liu Nanxi replied.


    "Please ask her to visit the Xuantian sect on my behalf. I think her mood will improve if she stay here for few days", Zhan Chen spoke. He could imagine how lonely Shen Ruyan would fell after Su''er and Ling''er had left.


    "I will give your message to young miss. I am happy that you have managed to calm yourself pretty quickly after hearing this news. My job is done now. So, I should leave", Liu Nanxi spoke. There was a calm expression on her face yet there was a hidden bitterness in her heart.

 Chapter 357 Chaotic Feeling

    "Who tell you that you can leave?", Zhan Chen red towards Liu Nanxi. He felt slightly angry because she was so reluctant to express her longing for him.


    "Liu Nanxi, do you admit that you are my woman?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Nanxi with a serious expression on his face. Liu Nanxi became flustered after seeing the look on his face.


    "If you ept an olddy like me, then....", she replied with aplicated expreson on her face. Choatic feeling welled up in her heart as she faced Zhan Chen.


    Her rtionship with Zhan Chen was abrupt one as they were forced to unite because of the yin poison. She didn''t want to ept such a rtionship and was intending to finish her life but Zhan Chen made her change her decision.


    Since then, she had grew to ept Zhan Chen as her man but she prefered to hide her feelings for him. ording to her, an ageddy like her was no match for Zhan Chen. If she expressed her feelings, than it was she who would be called selfish for desiring such a younger man than her age.


    "Liu Naxi, you think too much. But my thoughts are simple. I will never back away after epting you as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke. He held her hand and brought her to his caveplex.


    Liu Nanxi didn''t give any resistance as Zhan Chen brought her into the main hall. He let her go and scanned her body from face to toe.


    "What are are you watching?", finally a shed of red appeared on her cheeks after she faced the fearless eyes of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt it was worth teasing her after seeing the shy expression on her face.


    He stretched his hand and grabbed a peak of her directly. He squeezed her peak while looking at her eyes.


    "Zhan Chen!", she called out to protest but she didn''t know what to say. Zhan Chen was relentless with his hand as he squeezed her peak as much as he desired.


    "Liu Nanxi, look at me", Zhan Chen spoke when she tried to shift her focus. Zhan Chen could see the love and yearning in her eyes as both of their eyes met.


    "Liu Nanxi, you are such a coward", Zhan Chen murmured. He leaned forward slightly and pressed his lips on her cherry red lips.


    Liu Nanxi felt like an electric jolt ran through her body when both of their lips met. She started to move her lips involuntarily as Zhan Chen nibbled on her cherry red lips.


    She desired for another kiss when Zhan Chen finally freed her lips. Zhan Chen could easily see through her thoughts. So, he leaned forward for another kiss.


    "Zhan Chen, do you like me?", she asked after both of their lips separated. There was an emotional look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Of course, I like you. No one can resist a beauty with such an alluring figure", Zhan Chen replied. It was his sincere admission because he had seen her naked few times during their union. Her body came as a surprise for him when he first saw her naked in the underground space of the Cleansing incense ancient sect.


    "I have to admit that there is no bond between us initially. But I have epted you as my woman the moment I haveid my eyes on you. Now it is impossible for you to leave even if you want", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Nanxi didn''t speak anything but tiptoes to have a kiss with Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen held her waist with his hand and indulged her with a passionate kiss. Both of them could see the desire for eachother in their eyes when both of their lips separated.


    "Zhan Chen, should we go somewhere else?", Liu Nanxi asked with a shy expression on her face. She felt apprehensive because both of them were still doing it in the open.


    "There is no need to go anywhere. I will make sure that nobody can disturb us while we are here", Zhan Chen spoke. He gave amand with his mind and the Nine revolution origin formation became activated. Four beautiful blue barriers rose from the ground and enclosed the space where both him and Liu Nanxi was standing.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Wow! What formation is this?, Liu Nanxi asked with a surprised expression on her face. Along with the blue barriers, the surging essence energy piqued her curiousity.


    "It is called Nine revolution origin formation. This formation can help both of us in increasing our cultivation when we dual cultivate", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "It can increase my cultivation!", Liu Nanxi looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression on her face. Zhan Chen nodded his head with a smile and pulled her closer.


    "You will understand when we start our dual cultivation. For now, let me remove your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Nanxi cooperated with Zhan Chen and he removed her clothes one by one. Her alluring body became bare infront of him after he removed thest piece of her clothes.


    Liu Nanxi reached her hand towards Zhan Chen''s robe and tried to remove it. Zhan Chen cooperated and let her disrobe him. He removed his pant after taking off his robe.


    Liu Nanxi blushed after her eyes fell upon the raging dragon. A bashful look appeared on her face as she tried to peel of her eyes from Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen smiled and pulled her closer by holding her waist. His sheathing dragon poked against her belly when he nted another kiss on Liu Nanxi''s lips.


    Liu Nanxi get on her fours on her own after sharing a kiss with Zhan Chen. She threw an inviting look towards Zhan Chen while presenting her alluring back for Zhan Chen to admire.


    "Liu Nanxi, you are really considerable. I have never thought that you would remember my liking towards this position", Zhan Chen spoke. He knelt behind her and lowered his head to ess her sacred garden.


    "Nnnnnn~", a moan escaped Liu Nanxi ''s mouth when Zhan invaded her sacred cave with his tongue. An enjoying expression appeared on her face as she received the pampering that Zhan Chen was giving her.


    Her cave waspletely wet by the time Zhan Chen removed his tongue. A drop of water slid out from her cave when he shoved his dragon inside her cave.


    It was a tireless journey as Liu Nanxi moaned her heart out. Too much pleasure flooded her body and soul as she became one with Zhan Chen.


    She insisted to continue even when her body waspletely tired. There was a yearning in her heart which she wanted to fulfill while being with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen surrendered infront of her stubbornness and pounded her untill she couldn''t move. Her entire body was convulsing when she released her holy water for fifth time in a raw.


    "Nanxi, shall we stop?", Zhan Chen aske with a gentle expression on his face. She nodded her head and lied down for a while. There was endless love and emotion on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, can you lie down as well?", she asked after a while. Zhan Chen nodded his head and lied down beside her. Both of them moved sideways and cuddled with eachother.


    "Zhan Chen, I know you are yet to be satisfied. Tell me, what else can I do to make you feel better?", she asked after cuddling with him for a while.

 Chapter 358 Changes In The Yellow Stone City

    "Your body is still sensitive. So, it is best if you take a rest first", Zhan Chen spoke. He felt touched by her concern and love for him.


    "No, I have had enough rest. I can take as much rest as I want after getting back to the Shen n. For now, I only want you to.....", Liu Nanxi spoke with deep love and emotion on her face. Both of them shared a passionate kiss with eachother after Liu Nanxi expressed her feelings.


    "Nanxi, I don''t know whether I can reciprocate all your feelings towards me or not but I know what to do. I will definitely keep you closer after I know how much you actually love me", Zhan Chen spoke. He nted another kiss on Liu Nanxi''s lips and looked towards her eyes.


    "Actually, I also want to stay by your side. I would be content even if we don''t do anything. It would be enough as long as I get to see you each day.


    But you know, my obligations.I am indebted to the family of young miss. She also considers me as if I am her own aunt. So, I can''t stay for longer beside you even if I want", Liu Nanxi added.


    "In that case, let us start again. I want to feel every inch of your body before you leave the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a burning desire in his eyes as he looked towards Liu Nanxi.

    ''Tong''


    ''Tong''


    ''Tong'', sound of a bell reverberated in the sky of the Xuantian sect. A hubbub started among the cultivators as they came out of their cultivation caves and looked towards eachother with confusion on their faces.


    "Elder Tao, greetings. Can you tell us what is going on? What is the meaning of this bell ringing?", a group of cultivators from the sword peak asked an elder of theirs. The elder himself had a surprised expression on his face as he was startled by the ringing sound of the bell.


    "Brother Tao, have you got any news? What is the reason for the sect to ring the ancestoral bell?", another elder of the Sword peak joined the group. His words made the disciples more confused as they heard the word ''Ancestoral bell''.


    "Brother Qiang, I have yet to receive any news. But the matter most be serious for the sect to ring the ancestoral bell", elder Tao spoke. He had a worried expression on his face as he looked towards the distance.


    "Elder, are you talking about the gigantic bell in the ancestoral peak?", a disciple asked. He had the chance to see the ancestoral peak from a close distance. So, he was able to see the gigantic ck coloured bell hung at the entrance to the ancestoral peak.


    "Yes, the bell is a holy treasure itself. Five emperors need to work simultaneously to ring that bell", elder Tao exined.


    Shocked expression appeared on the disciples'' faces after they heard about the ancestoral bell. They were talking among themselves when a white ir lit up the sky.


    "Signal for the peak masters to gather!", elder Qiang muttered to himself. Elder Tao also nodded his head and looked towards the highest location of the the Sword peak.


    "Brother Qiang, we have to talk with peak master when he returns. But before that we must gather all of our disciples and ask them to stay calm", elder Tao spoke.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Elder Qiang nodded his head and instructed the surrounding disciples to gather everyone around. There was anxiety on many disciples'' faces as they waited for their peak master to return.


    The ancestoral peak of the Xuantian sect was located in the center most location of the Blue qilin mountain range. There was no expert watching over the peak. Yet, no disciple dare venture into the ancestoral peak on his own.


    The peak had many legends but no one knew whether they were true or false. The only known fact was that most powerful and reclusive experts of the Xuantian sect stayed in the ancestoral peak.


    Currently, there was a solemn atmosphere near the entrance of the ancestoral peak. Many experts including Fu Deming and Zhan Wu Li gathered there as they waited for the arrival of other experts.


    Experts started to arrive one after another as they stood silently. Usually they would greet eachother. But for some reason everyone was keeping calm and standing orderly.


    Finally, three experts came out from the innermost location of the ancestoral peak. A look of respect and reverence appeared on each cultivators'' faces as they bowed towards the three experts.


    There were inhabitants of the Ancestoral peak who hade out earlier. But none of them had received such deferential treatment like the three newly arrived experts.


    The reason of respect and reverence was simple. It was because all the three experts had an exalted status among all the experts of the Xuantian sect. They were called supreme ancestors who were the highest authority among all the cultivators of the Xuantian sect. Their strength mirrored their authority as all the three of them had already crossed the boundary of emperor realm.


    "Everyone, thanks foring here. It is a very urgent issue. So, the three of us thought it will be better to ring the ancestoral bell", an expert from the three spoke. He had a solemn expression on his face as he looked towards all the gathered experts.


    "Martial uncle Haoran, can you borate? What is so urgent that you rang the ancestoral bell?", Fu Deming was the first to ask.


    ''We have received input from the imperial Xie n. Spatial cracks have started to appear near the Yellow stone city from where the devils from the shadows trying to enter.


    The cracks are numerous. So, the imperial family do not have any solution to mend so many spatial cracks", the expert spoke with a heavy feeling in his heart.


    "Everyone, it is a certainly that devils will eventually appear. The Yellow stone city is close to our Xuantian sect. So, even if no other powers step forward, we have to fight", the soledy among the three experts spoke. She had a determined expression on her face as she looked towards the gathered experts.


    "Supreme elders, please give us direction. All of us will go the Yellow stone city if you tell so", Fu Deming looked towards the three experts. Other cultivators also looked towards the three experts as they wanted to get a clear direction from their supreme ancestors.


    "There is no need for the emperors to interfere now. Let the elders and inner court disciples go first.


    Announce rewards for the disciples who excel in stopping the devils", thest expert among the three spoke.

 Chapter 359 Emergence Of Devils

    "Hui Ling, what is the matter?", Zhan Chen asked after disabling the blue barriers in the main hall. He was cultivating after Liu Nanxi bade him farewell.


    "Senior brother, it is very urgent. Something major had happened while you were in seclusion", Hui Ling spoke. There was a disturbed expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "What is it? Did something happen while I am cultivating?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Senior brother, devils from the shadows manage to find a gateway to our Earth province. The imperial Xie family notified the sect about their possible arrival", Hui Ling replied.


    "Devils!", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrows. He spread his soul consciousness and found Yin Ran missing from the caveplex. He spread his soul consciousness farther and found Hu Daiyu missing as well.


    "Where is Yin Ran and Hu Daiyu?", he looked towards Hui Ling.


    "Senior brother, peak master of our Martial peak had summoned us after receiving the news. Now, they are assembling all the inner court disciples to fight the devils", Hui Ling spoke.


    "Have you got the summoning?", Zhan Chen asked Hui Ling.


    "Yes, senior brother. I have received permission from elder Tao of our Martial peak to wait untill your seclusion is over", Hui Ling replied.


    "Thank you. You are really thoughtful. Let me give you a reward which will make you less worried", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled Hui Ling closer and pressed his lips on her lips.


    Hui Ling also cooperated and a passionate kiss ensured between the two. Hui Ling tried to get more from Zhan Chen as she was not sure whether the Xuantian sect could withstand the onught of the devils or not.


    "Hui Ling, you can stay back if you want. I will talk to an elder of yours to allow you to do so", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, please don''t. All of my sisters are participating. I can not stay back at a time like this, only to regretter", Hui Ling spoke. Zhan Chen could see that she was scared slightly but despite her fear, she was ready to face the devils.


    "Okay, you can do as you please. Let us go outside to check the preparation of our sect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, they will leave at the evening. There is still some time left. Can I have some of your time while everyone is away?", Hui Ling spoke. Tender love and desire could be seen in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    ''Stupid!'', Zhan Chen shook his head with a smile after seeing through all of her thoughts. It was easy to read her mind with the use of Heart seeking technique.


    Hui Ling was reluctant to part with him after their brief union. She was not sure whether she coulde back alive or not. That''s why she was begging for some alone time to have an union with him. She wanted it to be a memorable union before she would leave for fighting the devils.


    "Hui Ling, I am promising you some alone time together. But before that, let me check on the sword peak. We need to know when exactly they are leaving for the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, thank you. I only want a little time of yours before I leave for the Yellow stone city", Hui Ling spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and pulled her closer for another kiss. Hui Ling cooperatedpletely and share her saliva with Zhan Chen without any hesitation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Wait for me. I will be back after visiting the sword peak", Zhan Chen spoke. Hui Ling nodded her head obediently and sat down for cultivation.


    The inner court disciples of the Xuantian sect had gathered in their respective peaks. There were some imposing looking elders standing with them who would lead the inner court disciples to do the battle.


    Zhan Chen felt impressed after seeing the gathering in the sword peak. Every cultivator were disciplined as they gathered around their respective elders who would lead them.


    There was a tense atmosphere but many sword cultivators were exuding confidence. They were determined to use the uing battle with the devils to sharpen their sword skills.


    "Zhan Chen!", an elder recognised Zhan Chen after he went near the crowd. His voice alerted the disciples around him who turned to look towards Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings elder", he bowed his head slightly and greeted the stern looking elder. His arrival alerted other elders as they turned to look towards them.


    "Who is this brat? Why can''t I see through his cultivation?", an elder muttered with surprise.


    "Elder Lai, he is Zhan Chen. He is the winner of this year''s grand sectpetetion and a core disciple of our sect", another elder replied.


    "Zhan Chen, why are you here?", the stern looking elder asked. A powerful soul consciousness descended towards everyone after stern looking elder asked his question.


    Everyone raised their head and saw an imposing looking middle aged man descending towards them. All the inner court disciples immediately knelt after seeing the middle aged man in silver robe.


    "Greetings peak master", the inner court disciples shouted together. Their eyes were full of respect and veneration as they looked towards the middle aged man.


    Zhan Chen greeted the middle-aged man along with other elder. He didn''t need to use his brain to guess the identity of the middle aged man.


    The name of the middle aged man was Yang Yukong. He was the infamous peak master of the sword peak. He was renowned in the entire Centralnd for his genius sword skills. There was a rumour that even the emperors of the Heavenly sword sect was less capable than Yang Yukong.


    Yang Yukong took a look at all the elders and disciples before focusing his eyes on Zhan Chen. A smile appeared on his face when his eyes met with Zhan Chen''s.


    "Little friend, I think you are already aware about my presence. I have a feeling that you can detect my soul consciousness whenever I send it towards your cultivation mountain", Yang Yukong spoke.


    "Senior, you jest. How can I have such capability with the cultivation gap we have?", Zhan Chen spoke. Yang Yukong merely smiled but didn''tment anything after hearing Zhan Chen''s response.


    He shifted the topic and asked Zhan Chen about the reason for his arrival.


    "Senior, I havee here to check on the battle preparation. I want to be the part of the first group who will go to the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen replied.

 Chapter 360 Sword Duel

    "You want to go to the Yellow stone city?", Yang Yukong raised his eyebrows. Zhan Chen nodded his head and waited for the emperor to speak.


    "Fine, I can allow you but I I have to talk with senior Deming first. Ancestoral peak doesn''t want to risk our core disciples in this battle", Yang Yukong spoke.


    "You can spar with my Sword peak disciples untill I return. I have to check if senior Deming is in the sect or has gone out to check the situation in the Yellow stone city", Yang Yukong spoke. He encouraged the sword peak disciples to challenge Zhan Chen before vanishing from his spot.


    "I will follow the wish of senior", Zhan Chen spoke in a low voice after Yang Yukong left. He looked towards the gathered disciples to see if someone was interested in sparring with him.


    "Senior brother, please guide me", a lean young man in his twenties was the first to jump up. He had an eager expression on his face as he wanted to figure out the battle prowess of Zhan Chen.


    "Can you lend me your sword?", Zhan Chen looked towards a disciple standing nearby. The disciple felt strange for a moment because no sword cultivator would move around without his sword by his style. He still tamed the confusion in his mind and handed over his sword to Zhan Chen.


    "There is only one rule both of you have to follow. Does not attack your opponent if he admits defeat", the stern looking elder of the Sword peak spoke. Both Zhan Chen and his opponent nodded their heads and walked forward towards the middle.


    The inner court disciples and the elders of the sword peak cleared a huge ground for both of them as they waited for the battle to begin. Even the elders were curious because they had heard a lot about Zhan Chen''s sword skills.


    "You can attack now", Zhan Chen looked towards his opponent. He tightened his grip around his sword and waited for his opponent to attack.


    "Piercing wind sh", his opponent muttered under his breath andunched a horizontal sh towards Zhan Chen. The energy sh was almost the size of two arms and cam crashing towards Zhan Chen with a breathtaking speed.


    Zhan Chen didn''t do anything untill the sh was very close to him. He brought forward his sword and did a simple stabbing motion with his sword.


    A very thin spear tip like energy came out but it created a hole in the middle of the energy sh. The disciples watched with wonder as Zhan Chen dispersed the attack of his opponent without much effort.


    "There are more toe", the lean looking young man spoke after Zhan Chen dispersed his attack. He was least bothered by the skills of Zhan Chen.


    He suddenly kicked up the ground and became airborne. He swung his sword towards Zhan Chen andunched another sh towards him after reaching the ground. The disciples and elders watched as Zhan Chen faced two energy shes at once.


    Zhan Chen swung his sword vertically in reply. He brought his sword towards the ground and then swung it upwards. A vertical energy sh came out from his sword and collided with the two attacks of his opponent.


    Everyone was expecting a small collision but no such incident happened. Zhan Chen ''s attack was like a knife which cut through the attacks of his opponent like a knife cutting butter.


    His opponent felt surprised after seeing Zhan Chen''s attack not dispersing even after cutting his twin attack. He hurriedly swung his sword and tried to stop the thin vertical sh of Zhan Chen.


    The sh stopped only after making a dent on the sword of the lean looking young man. An ugly look appeared on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen with frustration.


    "I admit my defeat", he spoke after controlling his emotion. Zhan Chen looked towards other inner court disciples after the lean young man retired.


    "Senior brother, can I try?", another young man stepped out. He had a firm expression on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Sure, anyone can fight me untill senior returns", Zhan Chen spoke. The young man walked towards the middle after hearing the affirmative words of Zhan Chen.


    He bowed slightly towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Chen also did the same. It was basic courtesy and he would reply in kind if anyone showed him respect.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Senior brother, please remember my name. I, Feng Wei challenging you for a sword duel", the young man spoke.


    "You can start the duel", Zhan Chen spoke to the young man. He had a slightly more favourable impression towards this Feng Wei than his previous opponent.


    Feng Wei clenched his sword and stabbed five times in the air. Zhan Chen felt slightly surprised because the attacks reached him more quickly than he had expected.


    ''Fusion of wind element with sword! How interesting'', he thought to himself whileunching five simr stabbing attacks. Both of their attacks collide and Zhan Chen step back a little to not caught up in the collision.


    Feng Wei clenched his sword andunched another attack when Zhan Chen stepped back. "Soaring wings of wind", he muttered andunched a horizontal attack towards Zhan Chen. A bird like energy attack appeared in the air and came crashing towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen waspletely prepared this time. Heunched a casual attack towards the air and the energy bird dispersed.


    "Senior brother, I admit, my abilities areckingpared to you. But I still want to try myst attack", Feng Wei spoke.


    "You have a good mastery over wind element. But you should focus more on your sword skills if you want to be a sword cultivator", Zhan Chen spoke. He allowed Feng Wei to try hisst attack and waited for Feng Wei to attack him.


    A determined expression appeared on Feng Wei ''s face after he received Zhan Chen''s permission. He cleared his mind from all the distractions and channeled his essence energy towards his sword.


    "Fury of wind, dance of five swords", he called out in a slightly high tone and stabbed his sword forward.


    "Should we stop them?", an elder asked with concern. There was a worried look on his face as he witness Feng Wei performing hisst attack.


    "No need. Let him figure out the attack by himself. We can act if the situation demands it", the stern looking elder spoke.


    A huge circle appeared in the air after Feng Wei stabbed his sword forward. The circle took some time to materialize and five thin looking des came out from the circle.


    The disciples and the elders watched in amazement as the des started to revolve around themselves. Their speed and power increased manifold by the time they went close to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was calm andposed even after seeing such an unusual attack. He held his sword with his right hand as ayer of energy appeared around his sword.


    The disciples of the sword peak gulped as they recognised the energy around Zhan Chen''s sword. It was pure sword energy which was different from the essence energy attacks that Zhan Chen was using since the beginning.


    "As expected!", an elder muttered. All of them watched with amazement and curiousity as Zhan Chenunched a horizontal attack towards the sword.


    The sword energy attack helped in dispersing the swords and it stopped only after colliding with the circle being controlled by Feng Wei.


    "rghh!", Feng Wei threw up blood as soon as Zhan Chen''s attack collided with the circle. A pale expression appeared on his face as he felt an essence energy disturbance within his body.

 Chapter 361 Worsening Situation In The Yellow Stone City

    Zhan Chen was sparring with an inner court disciple of the Sword peak when Yang Yukong returned. He had not returned alone as Fu Deming was also with him.


    "Greetings senior", the elders were the first to kneel down after seeing Fu Deming. The disciples also followed suit but there were curiousity in their eyes.


    Many of them were unaware about Fu Deming''s identity. Thus, they were curious to know about the person whomanded such respect from their elders.


    "Everyone, prepare for the battle.


    There is not much time left. The situation of the Yellow stone city is first deteriorating as we speak", Fu Deming announced. There was a solemn look on his face as he looked towards the sword peak''s elders and disciples.


    "Senior, we are already prepared. We will leave for the Yellow stone city as soon as we receive your permission", an elder replied.


    "Good, let us meet at the main entrance in an hour. I will personally lead our Xuantian sect for the battle", Fu Deming spoke.


    He didn''t stay any further after finishing his speech. He spread his essence energy towards Zhan Chen and Zhan Chen started to leviate in the air. Together, both of them left the Sword peak with a breathtaking speed.


    "Senior, thank you for bringing me to my mountain", Zhan Chen bowed towards Fu Deming after he brought him to his mountain.


    "Zhan Chen, no need to act formal. Let''se to the important matter. Do you really want to join the battle in the Yellow stone city?", Fu Deming looked towards Zhan Chen. He had a serious expression on his face contrary to his usual easygoing demeanor.


    "Senior, I think I have to participate. Many of my women are participating. Moreover, I never have an experience of fighting with devils. So, I want to gain experience", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, I will inform Wu Li about your wish. Hopefully, she will let you go", Fu Deming replied.


    "Senior, thank you for your help", Zhan Chen spoke. He knew his ancestor, Zhan Wu Li would never favour his idea. So, it is upto Fu Deming ''s effort to make her agree. So, he sincerely showed his gratitude to Fu Deming.


    "Be prepared. If she agrees, we will leave exactly one hourter", Fu Deming spoke. His figure disappeared into thin air after he finished his conversation with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen walked back to the caveplex after bading farewell to Fu Deming. He spread his soul consciousness and found Hui Ling in a nearby room. She was sitting on a stone bed with an absentminded look on her face.


    -----------------


    As the sun rose over the Yellow stone city, its rays casted a warm, golden light across the streets and buildings. It was a beautiful sight, but it was not enough to calm the palpable sense of panic that hung in the air.


    People were running frantically through the streets, their faces etched with fear and desperation. Some were clutching their loved ones tightly, while others clung to their belongings as they were looking for an good opportunity to escape the city.


    The sky above was a deep shade of blue, but there were cracks in it, like rips in a sheet of paper. Through these fissures, one could see dark greyish sky and the outlines of numerous grotesque, demonic figures.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Beyond the city walls, the devils were emerging one by one. They seemed like an unending stream as they walked out of the space crack.


    Standing on the city wall, a frown appeared on Lan Yueyue''s face. She was the city lord of the Hundred blossom city. Thus, even without an impressive cultivation base, her position demanded respect from all the present cultivators.


    "Is the Xuantian sect not here yet?", she looked towards one of her own subordinates.


    "No, young miss. They are yet to arrive. But we can still expect them before it is toote", her subordinate replied cautiously. He was worried that her anger would re up if he gave any untactical answer.


    "Forget about those Xuantian sect turtles. Is the imperial army here yet?", Lan Yueyue asked again. There was an urgency in her voice as she looked towards her subordinate.


    "Young miss, there is no news yet regarding their arrival. I will inform you as long I hear anything about them", her subordinate spoke. There was a line of sweat on his forehead as he replied to his young miss.


    "Everyone has their godamn game to y. An ancient city is going to be ruined, that is none of their concern!", Lan Yueyue cursed out loudly.


    ''Prepare our soldiers! We will be the first to attack if the devils aim their spear towards the Yellow stone city", shemanded with a clear melodious voice.


    "City lord, my Yu family is with you"


    "My Han family will also participate"


    "My Cui n will participate as well...", few people came to express their support. Many of them were from the Yellow stone city but some of them were from the Hundred blossom city as well.


    Every cultivator in the Yellow stone city had seen their coward of a city lord who ran away as soon as he got the winds of devils emerging. But the city lord of the Hundred blossom city was different. They had witnessed how she had not flinched even once after seeing the unending stream of devils.


    She had been rallying everyone under her banner since the beginning. And many ns and independent cultivators had joined her after seeing her courageous and righteous personality.


    "Everyone, thank you for your support. We must ensure that we protect this ancient city as much as possible. All of your contribution will be written down. I promise, everyone will get their share of due if we somehow survive this dangerous situation", Lan Yueyue spoke.


    "City lord, your words are enough. We are not here for some rewards to risk our lives", a middle aged man spoke. Lan Yueyue wanted to say something but suddenly her attention went towards the crowd of devils.


    There were some unusual movement in the crowd of the devils. They were actuallypletely unruly but somehow they had calmed downpletely.


    They started to arrange themselves in an orderly manner and looked towards the biggest space crack with fervour and respect in their eyes.


    Devils continued toe out from the space cracks but their numbers started to dwindle. Finally, some odd looking devilse out who had simr physical features like ordinary human beings.

 Chapter 362 Calm Before The Storm

    If one look clearly, the group of devils who had emerged recently were young looking. Compared to other devils, there facial features were more simr to humans.


    Lan Yueyue could see that the devils were more respectful to the group of young looking devils than anyone else. There were respect and reverence in their eyes as they looked towards the recently emerged group.


    The flow of devils stopped altogether after the recent group of devils emerged. There was an unnatural calm around the Yellow stone city as the devils and the cultivators of the Yellow stone city stood opposite to eachother.


    Many cultivators thought that the wave of devils were over but Lan Yueyue didn''t think so. She could observe that the devils were still hiding something. The group of devils who had recently emerged were discussing something with eachother. Finally, one of them walked closer to thergest spatial crack and took out a multicoloured orb.


    The multicoloured orb flew out from his hand and hovered in the mid air. A tyrannical pressure came out from the orb as it glowed with multicoloured brilliance.


    "What is this orb?", Lan Yueyue muttered with a frown on her face. A bad premonition rose in her heart as she watched the multicoloured orb from the city wall of the Yellow stone city.


    The devil who had taken out the orb coughed slightly and spit some ckish looking blood on the multicoloured orb. His face became pale but the multicoloured orb dazzled with more brilliance after receiving his ckish blood.


    The devil made a seal with his hand and looked towards the biggest spatial crack. The orb followed his eye sight and flew towards the spatial crack.


    There was no immediate reaction from the spatial crack but the devil who was operating the orb stood resolutely. "What are these devils nning?", Lan Yueyue knitted her eyebrows as she looked towards the spatial crack with vignce in her eyes.


    "Everyone, be prepared. These devils may pull some dirty tricks on us", she spoke to her subordinates. All the cultivators were already alert even before her warning came.


    All the cultivators of the Yellow stone city watched with nervousness as the spatial crack shown no reaction. The patience of both side were about to run out when a fluctuatione from the spatial crack.


    The gentle fluctuation gradually became intense and suddenly a tearing sound came from the sky. The cultivators watched with terror in their eyes as the five feet long spatial crack became almost double in size.


    An energy beam flew from the Yellow stone city and approached the spatial crack with a breathtaking speed. The devils werepletely prepared as they stopped the sudden attack towards the spatial crack with absolute ease. There was cold and malicious look on many devil''s faces as they looked towards the cultivators of the Yellow stone city.


    "Such a big spatial crack is bad news for our continent. More powerful devils cane out now with the elongation of the spatial crack", Lan Yueyue spoke with a frown on her face.


    "Young miss, shall I send an emergency message to the Xuantian sect and the imperial family?", a subordinate asked Lan Yueyue.


    "Do it and send a message to my family as well. I want them to send few of our experts to fight back these devils", she spoke with a solemn expression on her face.


    ----------------


    "Hui Ling, what are you thinking?", Zhan Chen asked after getting near Hui Ling. She was so absentminded that she couldn''t notice when he entered the cave.


    "Senior brother", Hui Ling''s eyes lit up after she saw Zhan Chen. A blush appeared on her face as she took a look at Zhan Chen''s handsome face.


    "Tell me, what is on your mind?", Zhan Chen asked her. He had already used the Heart seeking technique. So, he was aware about her fleeting thoughts.


    "Senior brother, can you visit my family with me after the battle is over?", Hui Ling looked towards Zhan Chen with an expectant look on her face.


    "Of course, I will ask for your hand when we visit your home", Zhan Chen replied.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Senior brother, thank you", a drop of tear came out from Hui Ling''s eyes after she heard Zhan Chen''s reply. She could feel sweetness overloaded as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Silly girl, what are you even thinking?", Zhan Chen went over and sealed her lips with his own. Hui Ling reciprocated passionally as she tried to feel Zhan Chen as much as she could.


    "Senior brother, how much time do we have?", she asked after the kisses were over. She had an infatuated expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "We only have one hour. But we can still continue in the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen replied. He pulled her once again into his embrace and nted another kiss on her lips.


    "Senior brother, are you going to Yellow stone city as well?", Hui Ling asked Zhan Chen. She took off her robe while looking towards Zhan Chen for his response.


    "Yes, I have already talked with senior Deming. We will leave when hee to get us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, please do as you please. We still have time before senior Deminge", Hui Ling spoke as she proceeded to lie on the stone bed.


    She had removed all of her clothes but she was wearing her undergarments. She was looking extremely beautiful with the red garments she was wearing.


    Zhan Chen felt his blood boiled up after seeing her like this. Her inviting look was like aphrodisiac as Zhan Chen approached her with burning eyes.


    He raised her legs and removed the reddish cloth protecting her womanhood. Hui Ling closed her eyes in pleasure as Zhan Chen proceeded to lick her cave entrance.


    "Mmm~senior brother~", she moaned under her breath as Zhan Chen slid his tongue into her watery cave. His tongue was like a proficient explorer as it proceeded to explore each nook and corner of her cave.


    "Senior brother~", Hui Ling felt like flying as Zhan Chen used his skillful tongue. She finally couldn''t hold it and released a good amount of yin water to Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    "Gulp!", Zhan Chen''s throat moved slightly as he drank the mouthful of yin water. He leaned beside her and pulled her into his embrace. A passionate kiss followed as both Zhan Chen and Hui Ling tried to give their best. Hui Ling removed herself after sometime and crouched beside Zhan Chen''s thighs.


    "Senior brother, please continue to lie down. Let me take care of you", she spoke and held the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen closed his eyes in pleasure when she started to move her mouth. Hui Ling tried to move her mouth as much lower as she could and wrapped her tongue tightly around Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    The hotness of the dragon inspired her to do more as she used her mouth to please Zhan Chen. Veins started to pop up on Zhan Chen''s dragon after he got Hui Ling''s skilful care and love. He started to thrust his waist upward as Hui Ling lower her mouth to please his dragon.


    "Hui Ling, stop. You have done enough", he spoke after fifteen minutes and more. Hui Ling stopped obediently and stood on her fours to invite Zhan Chen. She looked back like a seductress to look at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could no way deny such invitation as he stood up from his position. He knelt behind Hui Ling and ced both of his hands on either side of her waist.


    He positioned his dragon near her cave entrance and gave a swift thrust. With an enchanting moan from Hui Ling, both of them were connected.


    "Pah! Pah!", the sound of thighs colliding came from the cave as Hui Ling and Zhan Chen United. There was a look of pleasure and happiness on Hui Ling''s face as she got pounded by Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 363 The Beginning Of The Battle

    From the spatial crack emerged a being so ominous and terrifying, that the mere sight of him was enough to send chills down the spine of any cultivator of the Yellow Stone City. It was a powerful devil, one of the tribtion realm expert from the shadows.


    His appearance was extremely terrifying, more ominous looking than other devils who had emerged. He stood tall, towering over other devils with his muscr and imposing frame.


    His skin was a dark shade of red, with ck veins running across it like rivers of shadow. His eyes glowed with a fiery intensity, as if they could burn through anything that dared to look into them.


    "Lord Tianzun", the devils who were surrounding the spatial crack knelt immediately after seeing the towering devil infront of them. There was reverence and respect in their eyes as they looked towards the imposing looking devil.


    "Yan Luo, you have done a meritorious service. I am sure, emperor will award you and your Yan n after we go back to our Abhorst empire", the imposing looking devil spoke. His eyes were on the young looking devil who had sent the multicoloured orb into the spatial crack.


    "Lord Tianzun, it is out n''s fortune that we are able to contribute in this battle. I need Lord''s permission to ughter these vile humans infront of us", the young devil spoke. His eyes were signing with a peculiar light as he looked towards the imposing looking devil infront of him.


    "Wait a little. This of humans is trashy but we need to be careful. We are not yet capable to invite our emperor realm experts from our empire", Lord Tianzun spoke.


    His eyes glimmered with maliciousness as he threw a look towards the Yellow stone city. "These trifling humans are nothing much. There is not a single emperor among these humans", he spoke slowly with a fear inducing voice.


    "Yan Luo, go back to our empire. Entice the devil nts to enter the spatial crack. We need many devil nts. So that, we can corrode the heaven and earth and turn this into another shadow under our Abhorst empire", Lord Tianzun ordered.


    Lan Yueyue felt an indescribable danger when she looked towards the devil who had recently emerged. She clenched her sword tightly and looked towards the gathered of devils with a nervous expression on her face.


    "What are these?", the cultivators of the Yellow stone city eximed after seeing some demonic lifeformsing out from the spatial crack. They were extremely strange looking but their appearance somehow resembled to some odd looking nts.


    The demonic nts that emerged from the spatial crack were unlike anything the cultivators of Yellow Stone City had ever seen before. Their appearance was grotesque and menacing, with vines that twisted and coiled around everything in their path, and leaves that were razor-sharp and fleshy.


    "What are these?", the cultivators of the Yellow stone city eximed as they witnessed the demonic nts touching the ground. Their expression changed after they saw the visible changes happening to thend around the Yellow stone city.


    "These are devil nts", Lan Yueyue spoke with a grave look on her face. She could only watch helplessly as the devil nts started to corrode the heaven and earth around the Yellow stone city.


    "Everyone, we can''t wait anymore. These vile devils can wait but we can''t. It is best to engage them before they eat away ournd and sky", Lan Yueyue spoke. She was not willing to wait anymore after seeing the outpouring of devil nts from the spatial crack.


    "City lord, what about that devil? He seems like a very powerful expert", a patriarch of a powerful family pointed towards lord Tianzun. He was feeling an indescribable fear whenever his eyes fell on the imposing looking devil.


    "He is probably the leader of the devils. I need all of our tribtion realm experts to deal with him", Lan Yueyue spoke. She herself was feeling nervous but she acted courageously and gathered the experts of the Yellow stone city around her.


    "Looks like humans are getting impatient", lord Tianzun chuckled after seeing the movement in the Yellow stone city. He took out a simple looking bone spear from his spatial ring.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Everyone, be prepared. It is a good opportunity to feast on the human cultivators. Glory to our Abhorst empire. Attack", hemanded with a calm expression.


    It was as if a hidden beast woke up from the slumber after lord Tianzun gave hismand. Waves after waves of devils charged towards the city wall of the Yellow stone city.


    Long projectile attacks came from the city wall as it killed many devils on their tracks. But the army of devils were like unfeeling creatures who proceeded despite the loss of theirrades.


    The cultivators of the Yellow stone city watched in disgust and fear as few devils tore up their deadpanions flesh and ate them. Their mouth appeared bloody with all the flesh they feasted upon on their way.


    The devil nts continued to release obnoxious gases and corrode the surrounding environment. The cultivators of the Yellow stone city watched with nervousness as the devils closed on the city walls.


    Suddenly a pitch ck energy spear came whizzling towards Lan Yueyue. The spear tip glramed with a cold glint as it approached Lan Yueyue with a breathtaking speed.


    Lan Yueyue instinctively side stepped and the energy spear fell on the city. It tore upon a two feet hole after falling on the ground.


    Lan Yueyue looked towards the perpetrator who had suddenly attacked. Her eyes went towards the group of young devils who were standing in the middle of the approaching devils.


    A malicious grin appeared on the face of young devil when he saw Lan Yueyue looking towards them. He raised his hand once again and another pitch ck energy spear appeared on his hand.


    Lan Yueyue suddenly felt a sense of danger as he tilted her body. A sword pierced her belly from her back despite how alert she was.


    "Li Jing, you dare", a cultivator roared at the side of Lan Yueyue. He immediately swept his hand and an energy de cut upon the throat of the perpetrator.


    Lan Yueyue took out the sword from her back and looked at the experts around her. There was confusion on her face as she couldn''t understand why an expert from her Lan family would attack her.


    She was in confusion when another pitch ck energy spear came flying towards the city wall. This time the speed of spear was more terrifying as it approached an expert standing close to her.


    Everyone watched in horror as the expert couldn''t fend off the pitch ck spear. The spear pierced his chest and threw him off the city wall with force.


    To the horror of the human expert, he found out that he couldn''t use essence energy after falling from the city wall. Without the protection of the essence energy, he was slightly stronger than a normal human and nothing more.


    His body became a mangled mess after he fell the height of the city wall. He was the first human expert from the Yellow stone city to be killed by the devil army from the shadows.

 Chapter 364 Panick In The Yellow Stone City

    The atmosphere within the Yellow Stone City was one of fear and nervousness as the devil army continued their relentless assault. The pitch-ck energy spears, thrown by the young devil, caused panic among the cultivators on the city walls. The death of the Martial ascension realm expert had deeply shaken them, and they knew that their fate would be same if they slipped up a little in the ongoing battle.


    Lan Yueyue, despite her injury, stepped forward and attempted to rally the cultivators. "We cannot falter now! We must stand together and protect our city! Prepare for the next wave of attacks!", she spoke with a determined expression.


    The cultivators, standing on the city wall, nodded their heads. They knew their fate would be grim if they couldn''t resist the devilish army. The devil nts, meanwhile, continued to corrode the heaven and earth around the city, their vines creeping closer to the city walls.


    As the battle raged on, another young devil, standing alongside the one throwing pitch-ck energy spears, stepped forward. His eyes gleamed with a sinister light as he raised his hand and chanted a series of ominous incantations.


    A dark, misty energy began to shape up above his hands which swirled and expanded until it formed a massive, swirling vortex.


    "What is this technique?", Lan Yueyue felt her heart trembling with fear just by looking at the dark vortex. She didn''t know why but for some reason, her Instinct was telling her to leave the city wall as soon as possible.


    "Behold the technique of our Nu n, Soul Reaper vortex", the devil pronounced the name of the technique and threw the swirling darkness towards the city wall.


    Lan Yueyue stepped to her side instinctively as she didn''t want to face the swirl of darkness head on. The swirling vortex approached the city wall at a very fast pace and engulfed two warriors who were standing some distance away from Lan Yueyue.


    There was no sound, no activity as the cultivators of the Yellow stone city looked at the swirling vortex with nervousness and fear in their eyes. The swirling vortex left the city wall after few moments and returned towards the side of the devils but it''s impact was enough to create panick among the cultivators of the Yellow stone city.


    The mysterious swirling vortex left but it rendered two cultivators soulless. Only their cold dead bodies remained behind to remind the cultivators about their impending doom.


    "It is really a shame. I can only activate Soul Reaper technique only for few seconds. Otherwise, it will drain my own soul strength dry", the devil spoke. The swirling dark vortex returned to his side and vanished inbetween his palms magically.


    "Nu n young man, you are being modest. To be able to use the Soul Reaper vortex at your age, you are definitely a prodigeee among other devils of our capital", Lord Tianzun spoke from behind. Their was a pleased expression on his face as he looked towards the young talents infront of him.


    "Senior Tianzun, thanks for your praise. I, Nu Chongyi will contribute whatever I can to contribute to the glory of our Abhorst empire", the devil who had just used the Soul reaper vortex spoke. His eyes gleamed with darkness as he looked towards cultivators atop the Yellow stone city ''s city walls.


    The devils marched steadily towards the boundaries of the Yellow stone city. There was resistance from the cultivators of the Yellow stone city but their stalling effort was ineffective to stop the progress of the devil army.


    The powerful devils were killing the upper echelon under Lan Yueyue time to time. Thus, the cultivators could only watch helplessly as they got surrounded by the boundless devil army.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Everything was going smoothly for the devil army but suddenly a frown appeared in the face of lord Tianzun. His expression changed slightly as he sent his soul consciousness towards the distant surrounding. "Yan Luo, Nu Chongyi, gather yourpanions and fall back to my side. These wretched humans has found some strong cultivators to stop us", he spoke with an irresistible voice.


    "Lord Tianzun, as you wish", Yan Luo spoke. He and Nu Chongyi gathered theirpanions and went back towards the spatial crack but there was a confused expression on their faces as they looked towards lord Tianzun. They couldn''t understand why the famous general of Abhorst empiremanded him to fall back.


    "Don''t be impatient. This is only a low grade but it must have emperors in their ranks. Wait for our own tribtion realm experts toe in. We will trounce them after we get reinforcement.


    It is a pity that more powerful generals who are in emperor reallm, can''te in yet. Otherwise, we would have an easy win over these puny humans", lord Tianzun spoke calmly. Hus eyes remain focused on the distant horizon from where he could sense powerful soul fluctuations closing on them.


    Few minutester, numerous flying dots appeared in the distant sky of the Yellow stone city. The flying dots erged gradually and revealed to be numerous flying trasures of the Xuantian sect.


    The Xuantian Sect had arrived, their mighty aura stopped the indomitable devil army for a moment. The cultivators who were riding the flying treasures, were astonished by the size of the devil army before them. They had been informed of the dire situation at Yellow Stone City, but seeing it firsthand was a shock to them all. The devil army seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, with devilish creatures and dark energy permeating the air.


    The ships descended on the Yellow stone city, casting a ray of hope onto the desperate cultivators of the Yellow Stone City. They could feel a surge of relief and renewed energy, knowing that reinforcements had arrived. "Finally", Lan Yueyue took a breath of relief after seeing the arrival of the Xuantian sect cultivators. She darted her eyes around to check if a certain person who always disturbed her sleep hade along or not.


    "Cultivators of the Yellow stone city, fall back. You can rest while our disciples will guard the city walls of the city", Ying Chao spoke. He was the most powerful among among the new arrivals. So, he immediately took charge after reaching the boundary of the Yellow stone city.


    "Lan family girl, you can fall back as well. It is not wise to stand in the frontline with the injury in your body", Ying Chao spoke.


    Lan Yueyue was not willing to abandon the battle but the experts of the Yellow stone city convinced her. She had done her part by showing courage. So, it was time for her to rest a little and recuperate.


    She couldn''t neglect the repeated urging from her subordinate and other experts. She finally agreed to climb down the city wall and take a rest.


    She was climbing down the stairs when a person appeared like a shadow. The experts around her clenched their weapons but a look of disbelief and happiness appeared on Lan Yueyue ''s face.


    "I thought you will note", her eyes misted up slightly. She was a brave and fierce girl but the person infront of her, unlocked the insecurity and hidden feelings in her heart.

 Chapter 365 Before Joining The Battle

    "Why are you in the frontline?", Zhan Chen asked with a frown and appeared behind Lan Yueyue ''s back. He ced his hand on Lan Yueyue''s injured back and sent his essence energy into Lan Yueyue''s body.


    "Brat, who are you? How dare you touch young miss like this?", an expert howled from the side. Lan Yueyue ''s other subordinates also had angry expression on their faces as they red towards Zhan Chen.


    "Shut up. Don''t embarass me infront of our guest. All of you return to the wall. I will apany him for a while", Lan Yueyue spoke to her subordinates. Her subordinates had doubtful look on their faces but they couldn''t ignore her order. For a while, all of them found themselves struck because they couldn''t decide what to do.


    "Go back. Your young miss will be safe with me. To make you more assured, the strongest among you is allowed to stay", Zhan Chen spoke. All of her subordinates found the proposal of Zhan Chen eptable. So, they left quickly. Only a single subordinate who was at Tribtion realm stayed back and Zhan Chen didn''t have any problem with him. It was because he waspletely familiar with the tribtion realm expert whom he had made his ve, the previous time he met Lan Yueyue.


    "Greetings master", the tribtion realm expert greeted Zhan Chen after everyone left. Zhan Chen nodded his head nonchntly and looked towards Lan Yueyue.


    "Zhan Chen, why are you here?", she asked with a concerned expression on her face. She was clearly happy that she got to see Zhan Chen but she was also worried because the ongoing battle with the devil army. His presence soothed her heart but she still felt worried about the safety of Zhan Chen.


    "I also want to ask the same question. Lan Yueyue, why are you here? Don''t you know how dangerous a battle is? Moreover, what we are facing is no humans, they are devils, far more stronger than ordinary warriors", Zhan Chen looked towards Lan Yueyue.


    He had already stabilized her wound but he was visibly upset by her recklessness in the battle. He couldn''t understand why would she poke her nose in the matter of a different city other than her own Hundred blossom city.


    "Zhan Chen, I have a good reason for joining this battle. I will exin to you but let us leave this ce first. I also want to know why have you decided to join this battle?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Fine, let''s move away from crowd. Battle is at a standstill now. I can join the battle when both side decides to sh again", Zhan Chen spoke. He picked up a quiet location with his soul consciousness and led Lan Yueyue towards that location.


    It was a small building that Zhan Chen had picked. It''s owner probably had fled after learning the arrival of devils. Zhan Chen led Lan Yueyue into the house while the tribtion realm expert stayed outside. Lan Yueyue immediatelytched herself to Zhan Chen after they entered the building.


    "Zhan Chen, it is nice to see you again", she spoke while holding Zhan Chen''s hand. "I am also d to see you here. But it is unexpected that you were in the frontline", he replied with a soft voice.


    Zhan Chen, I found imperial family ''s attitude doubtful. They are more than capable to vanquish this devil army but they have yet to act. Even my family has received an order to not mobilize our experts to fight the devils.


    I feel doubtful ande here to check the spatial cracks. Who knows, situation will be so drastic within a day? I have sent letters to imperial army and they had promised toe. But you can see, no one from the imperial family is here yet.


    I don''t know what the imperial family is nning but I can''t risk the inhabitants of my city. As the city lord, it is my duty to protect the Hundred blossom city. If Yellow stone city falls today, what do you think will happen to my Hundred blossom city? It will be run over by the devils sooner orter.


    So, I choose to join the battle against the devils. To protect the Yellow stone city and deny the devils a strong foothold in the Earth province", Lan Yueyue spoke. She had a determined expression on her face as she exined the reason for joining the battle. Zhan Chen found her more attractive, the more he listened to her.


    "Zhan Chen, what do you think? Am I foolish? Have I done the right thing to disobey my family ''s order and join the battle in the Yellow stone city?", she looked towards Zhan Chen. Her valiant self now had an insecure expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Who said, my Yueyue is foolish? She is the most brave and benevolent girl, I have seen. Even I am unaware that my Yueyue is such a good girl", Zhan Chen replied. He had a tender expression on his face as he looked towards Lan Yueyue.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Do you really think so?", she asked with a shy expression on her face. She was feeling sweet all over her heart after listening to Zhan Chen''s word of praises. Moreover, it was the first time Zhan Chen had used such intimate words for her.


    "You do not have to worry about your city. I will make sure that your city is protected no matter how powerful an enemy is", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her closer by holding her waist and looked towards her with a tender expression.


    "Zhan Chen, I have told you my reason. But I have yet to learn, why are you here? Is it your sect''s order or have youe here with your own choice?", she asked while looking at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could see her concern for him. So, he felt really touched. He lowered his head to put a kiss on her lips and proceeded to tell her his reason foring to the Yellow stone city.


    "Yueyue, you probably don''t know but I am more selfish than you. I have no concern for the Earth province but I am concerned about my people. The sole reason I am here because few of my women are fighting. Moreover, I thought it would best to take a look at the evolving situation and the battle prowess of the devil army", Zhan Chen replied. He had nothing to hide infront of her. So, he spoke her the reason for his arrival truthfully.


    "Zhan Chen, can you do it again?", Lan Yueyue asked suddenly. She felt a sudden impulse to have a taste of Zhan Chen. Zhan could easily understand what she need. So, he obliged readily. He lowered his head and connected his lips with Lan Yueyue''s.


    Both of them tasted eachother''s saliva for few minutes and Lan Yueyue finally excused herself when she felt breathless. "Zhan Chen, can you promise me one thing?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Sure, let me know what do you want?", he looked towards Lan Yueyue.


    "Don''t be reckless in the battle. I will join you in the battle after cultivating for a while", she spoke. Zhan Chen shared another kiss with her before leaving the stone building. He instructed the Tribtion realm expert to guide her properly and walked towards the city wall.


    All the cultivators of the Xuantian sect had gathered near the city wall. The elders who led them were floating on the air. Zhan Chen took a look with his soul consciousness and found there were total nine Tribtion realm experts who hade from the Xuantian sect.


    As for those who were at Martial ascension realm, there numbers was around two hundred. As for cultivators with cultivation of Core Condensation realm, there numbers was plenty. They could add upto almost eight hundred.


    It was a staggering number of cultivators which highlighted the martial power of the Xuantian sect. The Xuantian sect seem determined to eliminate the devils which was evident from the fighting force, they had gathered.


    The battle was stalled at this moment as both sides were careful about their opponents. Zhan Chen kicked the ground and easily climbed the twenty feet tall city wall. The experts who were standing on the city wall were all elites. They felt surprised for a moment after seeing how easily Zhan Chen leaped on to the city wall.


    "Are you a disciple of our sect?", an elder looked towards Zhan Chen. He generally stayed in seclusion. So, he couldn''t recognise Zhan Chen after seeing him.


    "Elder Mu, he is the new core disciple, everyone is talking about. But I don''t understand, why the sect has allowed someone like him to join this battle", another elder spoke before Zhan Chen could reply. Zhan Chen slightly bowed towards elder Mu to show courtesy and focused his eyes on the devil army.


    ''Devils have less expertspared to us but they have numerical advantage. Moreover, that group of young devils are a formidable bunch. If more devilse in from the spatial crack, it will be problematic for our Xuantian sect. So, the key is early strike and eliminate as much as possible before support arrives for the devil army'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 366 A Bloody Fight

    ''Those who strike first will have the edge", Zhan Chen thought to himself after looking at the devil army. He looked towards Ying Chao who was leading the Xuantian sect cultivators in the Yellow stone city.


    Ying Chao was the same elder who brought Zhan Chen to the Xuantian sect. So, he was extremely familiar with the prowess of Zhan Chen. He felt curious when Zhan Chen looked towards him from the top of the city wall.


    "Zhan Chen, do you want to say something?", he sent a mental message to Zhan Chen''s mind. Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply. He wanted the Xuantian sect to strike first and only Ying Chao could give such an order.


    "Is it rted to the devils?", Yung Chao asked again. Zhan Chen nodded his head and a semn expression appeared on Ying Chao ''s face.


    "In that case, leave the city wall. We will talk where the devils can not see us", Ying Chao spoke. He acted like nothing happened and continued his conversation with other elders but his eyes were on Zhan Chen who went towards the stairs to climb down the city wall.


    "Zhan Chen, what do want to say? Is it a message from senior Deming?", Ying Chao asked Zhan Chen. He came down from the sky to meet Zhan Chen as soon as Zhan Chen left the city wall.


    "No, senior Deming didn''t give any message. It is me who want to give a suggestion to you. It is upto you whether you want to implement it or not", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Speak. If it is anything helpful, I will be d to implement your suggestion", Ying Chao replied.


    -----------------


    ''Creak!'', loud rumbling was heard as the city gate of the Yellow stone city was pushed open. The devils watched with disbelief as arge group of cultivators charged towards them.


    It was impossible for the Yellow stone city to strike back if it was half an hour earlier. It was a foreigner conclusion that devils would conquer the Yellow stone city eventually. But the addition of the Xuantian sectpletely changed the scenario.


    "Disciples of the Xuantian sect, follow my order. Charge under your group leaders and ughter these devils. Whoever performs great will be awarded by our sect", an elder announced.


    "Charge", he waved his hand and the disciples of the Xuantian sect poured into the battlefield.


    "Fight", the leader of the devils shouted soon after the city gate was open. Devils were bloodthirsty and brutal. So, they would not back away if a fight was upon them.


    Soon, a chaotic fight ensured as the Xuantian sect cultivators and the devil army collided. Despite supremacy in the quality of experts, the Xuantian sect disciple found themselves in a tough spot.


    It was because devils were unlike humans. They had incredibly sturdy bodies and many of them were equipped with weired abilities. Few cultivators started to fall as their devilish opponents overwhelm them. Blood sttered everywhere as a brutal fight began.


    There was a pained look on many elder''s faces as they saw the disciples from their respective peaks getting killed. Some had excited expression on their face as the disciples of their respective peaks were performing marvelously.


    Compared to them, the leader of the elders, Ying Chao waspletely calm. He had only a little curiousity on his face as he kept his soul consciousness focused on Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen followed one of the group at middle to leave the city gate. Compared to other cultivators, he didn''t have any group to rely on. Few elders were against his idea to let him fight alone but Ying Chao allowed him. Zhan Chen charged along with group of cultivators and faced the devils along with them.


    A vicious looking devil pounced towards him as soon as he joined the battle. Zhan Chen only swept his hand in the air and a cut appeared on the devil''s neck. The devil was charging ruthlessly but he suddenly slumped to the ground. ck blood flew from his neck as he died with a look of disbelief on his face.


    Zhan Chen was looking harmless as he was not holding a weapon in his hands. Moreover, he didn''t have a dominnering appearance which enticed the devils to charge toward him.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Unfortunately for them, Zhan Chen was like a hidden ripper. They were ughtered as soon as they approached Zhan Chen. Soon, some of the devils started to notice as Zhan Chen yed more than ten devilsprising of True essence realm and Core condensation realm devil warriors.


    "Human scum, you are actually hiding your strength", a winged devil charge towards him. He had a cultivation of peak Core condensation realm which made him a slightly interesting opponent for Zhan Chen.


    "Wings of darkness, ripper storm", the devil unleashed a brutal move as soon as he got close to Zhan Chen. A solemn expression appeared on the face of Ying Chao as he was keeping an eye on Zhan Chen. Few elders also had panicked expression on their faces as they saw Zhan Chen being engulfed by the dark storm.


    The winged devil pped his wings and the dangerous looking pitch ck wind engulfed Zhan Chen. The devil thought, he was winning as a vicious grin appeared on his face but his happiness was short-lived as he felt the presence of someone behind him.


    He turned to look back but it was toote. An energy sword was already prating his back and it shattered his heart right away. "Human....", he could only mutter this much before his body slumped to the ground.


    Zhan Chen was like a ripper who killed every devil he met on his way. Even the older Martial ascension realm disciples were no match for him as he advanced and killed around as he pleased.


    Most of the elders had look of approval and admiration on their faces as they saw how Zhan Chen fought. Now they could understand why he was choosen as a core disciple. Moreover, they could see why Zhan Chen was deadset on fighting alone in this battle. The reason Zhan Chen wanted to fight alone because he didn''t want any group to limit him. Only a group of Tribtion realm experts could match his prowess and even they would have to be talented if they wanted to match the speed of Zhan Chen''s ughtering.


    Winged devils, horned devils, bone devils, many kind of devil fighters tried to stop him but but they were easily ughtered like chickens. Zhan Chen''s rampage finally attracted the attention of the elites from the devils'' army.


    "That brat seems like a genius from the human world. Probably, we have to step in to kill that brat",a devil spoke. He was one of the young devils who was standing close to the spatial crack.


    "I wonder how his soul tastes like?", Nu Chongyi licked his lips. He was the same devil who had unleashed ''Soul Reaper vortex'' on the cultivators of the Yellow stone city. Seeing Zhan Chen sp impressive, he wanted to have a taste of his soul.


    "Don''t do anything for now. Let that human brat do as he please. Even if he kills all of these troops, it will not have any impact on the strength of our Abhorst empire ", Lord Tianzun spoke.


    "Senior Tianzun, when should we expect other generals toe? It will be bad if some expert of theirse to attack the spatial crack", a devil standing next to Nu Chongyi asked.


    "I have already notified lord Marquis. Considering his ability, he most have already reached the spatial crack. The passage way is safe. We only have to wait untill other eleven generals under lord Marquis descends", lord Tianzun spoke. A reverent expression appeared on the face of young devils when they heard the word ''Marquis''. They nodded their heads and did not disturb lord Tianzun anymore.


    Zhan Chen was unaware about the true motives of the devils. He could have heard them with his soul consciousness but he was wary of trouble to spread his soul consciousness so far.


    He was currently facing a winged devil who was a female. She was at the peak of Core condensation realm and fighting evenly with Zhan Chen. It was ofcourse Zhan Chen who was lenient on her. It was the first time he had seen a female devil and he was slightly curious.


    In the entire army of devils, the number of females were very less. So, it was no surprise that Zhan Chen found a female devil only after ughtering tens of the devils.


    The female devil was slightly taller than Zhan Chen. She had dark bluish skin with two pitch ck wings on her back. She was holding a sword on her hand and raining attacks on Zhan Chen while pping her wings.


    The wings would allow her for a short flight. So, she was using it to float higher and found some initiative in the battle with Zhan Chen.


    "So, you are little different than human females. It is only that you have wings in addition to human body. Your cultivation is not high. So, it is a pity", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Human, are you out of your mind?", the winged devil shouted. She couldn''t believe that a human had such disregard for her. She pped her wing more fiercely and charged towards Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 367 A Bloody Fight (2)

    "Begone", Zhan Chen uttered only a single world in response to the charging Winged devil. He pushed his hand and a glowing beam of sword light pierced the heart of the female devil.


    Zhan Chen stepped away slightly and the winged devil missed her target. There was look of shock and fear in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Lines of blood came out from her mouth and she finally crashed on the ground with a look of terror in her eyes.


    Zhan Chen decided to kill more. So, he picked up a sword from a fallen Xuantian sect cultivator. He could have proceeded without his sword but that would have exposed more of his secret. The fact that he could kill so many devils without a sword was a miracle in itself. Many experts who were watching from the city wall had their eyes on him. So, he decided to be slightly cautious.


    Sword energy came out from the sword as soon as Zhan Chen picked up a sword. He waved it towards a nearby devil and the devil was cut in half. The cultivator who was fighting the devil, immediately thanked Zhan Chen. Without Zhan Chen''s intervention, he would have died.


    "Boom", suddenly a loud explosion came from the distance. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and his facial expression changed. There was a small crater where the explosion took ce. Body parts of three Xuantian sect cultivators and a devil was lying in that small crater. There was hands, legs and all sorts of body parts but not an intact corpse. Zhan Chen observed for few more seconds and finally came to a conclusion.


    Three Xuantian sect cultivators were hanging up on a Core condensation realm devil and the devil decided to blew his core. It was a brutal move which ensured the death of three of his opponents in exchange to his death.


    ''How decisive! These devils are really ruthless and mad when ites to battle", Zhan Chen thought to himself. The battle became more bloody and chaotic, the more time passed. Both sides had lost many of their warriors but the lose from devil side was morepared to the Xuantian sect cultivators.


    Zhan Chen took a look at the group of young devils and the intimidating looking devil who were standing close to the spatial crack. It has been an hour since the battle had began but all of them had yet to life a muscle. They were watching the battle in a carefree manner while subordinates under them were getting ughtered by the Xuantian sect cultivators.


    ''There is something fishy. These devils shouldn''t be so carefree considering the situation they are in. Looking at their behaviour, they are not worried at all. So, shall I assume, they are sure that the Xuantian sect cultivators can''t harm them?'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He looked towards therge spatial crack behind the devils and his eyes flickered.


    "These devils are very crafty. It seems like help ising their way. We need to kill as much as we can before the devils organize themselves", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He walked forward and ughtered devils who were blocking his path.


    The battle was progressing in a predictable manner where the Xuantian sect cultivators had the upper hand. If nothing extraordinary happened, then devils were bound to be doomed. Zhan Chen was targeting the peak Core condensation devils when he sensed something. He raised his head and looked towards therge spatial crack before him.


    There was faint spatial fluctuationing from the spatial crack and the fluctuation gradually became intesense within thepse of moments. The experts of the Xuantian sect sensed the changes as well. So, they released the signal for retreat.


    A Xuantian sect elder threw a tailsman and a yellow cloud mushroomed in the middle of the battle field. Every group captainmanded their groups and fell back like a receding tide. Zhan Chen alsonded a final blow and retreated along with other cultivators. The performance of the Xuantian sect was satisfactory. So, the elders didn''t hesitate to call back the disciples when they sensed the changes in the spatial crack.


    The gate closed as soon as the final group of disciples entered inside the city gate. There were cultivators waiting who immediately assisted the injured and started their treatments.


    "Senior brother Chen, thank you for your help. I could not have survived without your assistance", a cultivator approached Zhan Chen from his left side. There was a fire symbol embroided on his robe. So, Zhan Chen could immediately identify the newer as a disciple from the Crimson ze peak.


    "There is no need to say thanks. We are fellow cultivators from the Xuantian sect. So, it is only natural that I will assist you at the time of peril", Zhan Chen replied. Few more disciples came forward to greet him and Zhan Chen received them with courtesy.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He was pleased to see the unity in the Xuantian sect. He didn''t find any troublemakers during the battle and that impressed him very much. "With a group of cultivators with such integrity, Xuantian sect will definitely remain strong", he thought to himself.


    ''Now the question is why no power ising to help the Xuantian sect. I have received the news that Xuantian sect has sent letters of request to prominent sects of the Earth province to assist them in battle. But it seems like none of them are interested'', he thought to himself.


    ''Young master Chen", suddenly an oriole like voice entered his ears when he was contemting about the matter of the battle. He turned his head and found Zi Ningxi walking towards him from a distance. The was a look of surprise and happiness on her face as she walked towards him.


    "Princess", a smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after seeing her. He checked her with his soul consciousness and found her cultivation base had improved. She was at peak of True essence realm when they hadst met. Now, she was at second stage of Core condensation realm within few months.


    "Looks like, Serene bamboo peak is treating you well", he spoke with a smile on his face. "Mmm, my master is very generous. She told me that if I cultivate obediently then she will provide me with as much cultivation treasures as I want", Zi Ningxi replied.


    "Princess, you have taken a master already?", Zhan Chen became surprised for a moment. He felt curious about which elder had taken Zi Ningxi as his or her disciple.


    Yes, master picks me as a disciple as soon as I enter the Serene wood peak. She is the peak master. So, I have no trouble in living in the Serene wood peak. Other elder sisters are also good. They always treat me and my aunt well", Zi Ningxi replied. Zhan Chen felt relived after seeing how content she was. He was slightly weary after the battle but the princess lit up his mood with her cheerful personality.


    "Young master, what have you been doing in these days? My master tells me that you are an enigmatic person. It is best to stay away from you to avoid trouble", Zi Ningxi spoke. There was a curious expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Your master is right. You will face trouble if you stay with me. So, what have you decided?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile on his face. He would be happy whatever decision she would take. She was yet topletely be his woman. Her life was also vastly different than before. From a small princess from a remote kingdom, she hade a long way. She was already the personal disciple of a peak master of the Xuantian sect. So, he would not think much if she changed her mind and stepped away from the arranged marrage decided by their families.


    "Young master, you are my fiancee. I told her. I would not consider anyone to marry if she stops me from getting married with you", Zi Ningxi spoke. There was a look of determination on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could see the expectation and love of a young girl from her eyes. For a moment, he thought about holding her and sealing her lips but he resisted his urge. It would be too much of a hassle if he lost control in such a public ce.


    "Princess, what are you doing here in the Yellow stone city? Has your master gone senile to allow you toe to such a dangerous ce?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Ningxi. He was really irritated with her peak master. So, he didn''t mince his words while talking about the peak master of the Serene wood peak.


    "Young master, please don''t bad mouth teacher. She waspletely agaist my idea toe to the Yellow stone city. It is elder sister Yiyi who has brought me along", Zi Ningxi replied.

 Chapter 368 Might Of The Devil Kingdom

    "Little sister Ningxi, is he the one you are talking about?", a graceful woman came out from a distance. She was wearing sect robe and from her attire, Zhan Chen could guess that she was one of the elders from the Serene bamboo peak.


    There was a pure and warm aura around her which made herpletely different from other women that Zhan Chen had seen. Zhan Chen could felt the pure wood energy coursing through her body. She had a slightly curious expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings elder", Zhan Chen bowed his head slightly to show courtesy. In return, a smile appeared on the face of woman who had interrupted him and Zi Ningxi during their conversation.


    "Elder sister Yiyi, he is young master Chen. He is from the same ce from where I havee", Zi Ningxi spoke. There was a slightly shy expression on her face as she introduced Zhan Chen to her elder sister.


    "Zhan Chen, it is the first time we have met. I am always curious about the fiancee of junior sister. Now that I have seen you, I know why junior sister is so obstinate about you", the graceful looking woman spoke. There was a smile stered on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen and Zi Ningxi.


    "Little sister Ningxi, you have yet to hear probably but this fiancee of yours has performed greatly in today''s battle. His contribution is the highest among all the disciples who has fought the devil army", the graceful looking woman spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, I have forgot to introduce myself. I am Mo Yiyi. You can look for me in the Serene bamboo peak if you need any assistance", she spoke to Zhan Chen.


    "Elder, it is nice to meet you. I think, I will be morefortable if I can call you elder sister like princess", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Heh", Mo Yiyi suddenlyughed. A smile bloomed on her face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "You are such a smooth talker. No wonder little sister is so smitten to you. Even I would have fallen for you if there is not an age gap between ourselves", Mo Yiyi spoke. She felt it was enjoyable to talk with someone as interesting as Zhan Chen.


    "Okay, you two can continue. I have a lot of work to do. There are so more disciples to heal that I have barely any time at my hand", Mo Yiyi spoke. She took a look at Zhan Chen before walking away towards the distance.


    "Princess, shall we go somewhere else?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Ningxi. Zi Ningxi nodded her head shyly and Zhan Chen guided her towards a secluded house.


    "Princess, it is nice to know you have not changed your mind. If you arepletely agreeing, then I will be a fool to not ept a beauty like you as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master Chen, how can you think that I will leave you. After so much happened between us, I can''t ept anyone else", Zi Ningxi replied. She was slightly angry that Zhan Chen would doubt her love for him.


    "Princess, it is not about you. It is about me. You are perfect as you are but look at me. I have handfuls of women. So, I don''t know if being a woman of mine is good for you or bad", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master Chen, I will not ept anyone else other than you. I don''t care how many women you have. I only want you to talk with me once in a while", Zi Ningxi spoke.


    "Princess, it is decided them. I will not ask anything else in the future", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled Zu Ningxi towards him and nted his lips on Zi Ningxi''s.


    Zi Ningxi replied passionately in response to Zhan Chen''s advances. She was always a shy girl but her determination to get Zhan Chen made her push herself. Both of them kissed with a lot of passion and they separated only after few minutes had passed.


    Zhan Chen observed Zi Ningxi and found her lovely from every aspect. She was little shy at this moment and her reddened face was amplifying the beauty she had.


    "Princess, you are looking beautiful", Zhan Chen spoke and lowered his head to kiss her again. This time the kiss was slow and Zi Ningxi felt, she was melting by Zhan Chen''s passion and love. Her whole body was glistening red by the time Zhan Chen finished his second kiss.


    Zhan Chen pulled her belt and took off her robe. Her sparkling white jade like body appeared infront of him and a reaction came from his loin. She was like a porcin doll with no blemish on her body. Her assets were still covered by white undergarments which Zhan Chen pulled off one by one.


    Zi Ningxi was feeling very shy at the moment but she let Zhan Chen did as he pleased. Zhan Chen unraveled herplete beauty after pulling off her undergarments. She had two unripe melons with pointed tips. Zhan Chen wrapped his hand around them and started to squeeze them as he like.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Soft moans came out from Zi Ningxi''s mouth and it was like heavenly music to Zhan Chen. She had a look of enjoyment on her face which further encouraged Zhan Chen to do more.


    "Princess, I know you are against idea of dual cultivation before marriage and I respect that. But we can still do many more things even without true dual cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master, I used to think it is inappropriate to do that that thing before marriage but if you want us to do that, I will oblige", Zi Ningxi spoke. Her eyes was full of love and emotion as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, it is not like I am in a hurry. Let''s not think about dual cultivation. I want you to enjoy few more things which we can do before marriage", Zhan Chen spoke.


    ------------------


    There was a tense atmosphere between the devils and the Xuantian sect cultivators as the spatial fluctuation became more intense with passing time. It was clear to the Xuantian sect cultivators that help wasing for the devil army.


    None of the elders of the Xuantian sect approached the spatial crack and everyone thought devil forces woulde unhindered. There was a look of ridicule in some devils'' eyes as they looked towards the experts, standing on the city wall of the Yellow stone city.


    The moment the spatial fluctuation became most intense, a hand suddenly materialized in the thin air. The hand was gigantic and it directly went crashing towardsrgest spatial crack.


    "We have already predicted this", lord Tianzun spoke nonchntly. He took out a small triangr shaped object and threw it towards the approaching palm.


    The triangr shaped object turned into a small hill as it erged on it''s way towards the palm. The palm striked the small hill heavily but couldn''t even make a dent on the hill shaped object.


    "What is this object!", words of eximation came from the thin air and no one did answer his question. Finally, the atmosphere became tranquil once again but palpable tension remained in the air.


    It was clear to everyone that an expert from the human side took action but failed to stop the machinations of devils. Finally, a figure emerged from the spatial crack and from the energy fluctuation, expertd could tell that he was someone in the Tribtion realm just like lord Tianzun.


    "Lord Kai", the devils immediately bowed after the the figure shown himself. He was a tall devil with two enormous horns on his head. His horns could bepared to horn of a fully grown bison.


    "Tianzun, I have finally arrived", he spoke with a booming voice.


    "Is there any additional troops?", lord Tianzun looked towards lord Kai.


    "Every general under lord Marquis ising. There is also devils from the Eternal night grotto. They will send some fighters in addition to our troops", lord Kai replied.


    Spatial fluctuation came once again from thergest spatial crack. Another shadowy figure emerged and there was a look of respect in every devils'' eyes when the shadowy figurepletely shown himself.


    He was an ordinary looking devil with facial features almost simr to human. The only difference was he had three shiny pearl like thing imbedded on his forehead. "Lord Qiang", the devils knelt down once more. This time, they didn''t dare rise again as the spatial fluctuation continued even after lord Qiang emerged.


    Mighty looking devils came after one by one and a tense atmosphere prevailed on the side of Xuantian sect experts. To their surprise, spatial fluctuation came from few other spatial cracks as well.


    Various types of devils poured in from numerous spatial cracks. There numbers rose to such an extent that Xuantian sect experts felt apprehensive. The spatial fluctuation continued for almost an hour before it stopped.


    The devils started to arrange themselves under variousmanders as they looked towards the experts of the Xuantian sect with greed and malice in their eyes. Xuantian sect elders were feeling apprehensive but they had no other choice than to fight. They rallied their own disciples and prepared for a brutal fight that was about toe.

 Chapter 369 Discussion With The Elders

    "Young master Chen, please don''t be reckless. I will be waiting for you inside the Yellow stone city", Zi Ningxi spoke. Her body was still sensitive because of all the sweet things she had done with Zhan Chen. She wanted some more time but unfortunately the battle had began once again.


    "Princess, don''t worry. I will be safe as long as I am not facing a consummate expert", Zhan Chen replied. He nted a good bye kiss on Zi Ningxi''s lips and walked out of the stone house.


    Inside the city wall, the Xuantian sect cultivators werepletely ready. There was another group of cultivators who hade to fight the devils.


    Zhan Chen asked around and found they were from the Lee n. They were a first rate n of the Earth province. They had good rtionship with the Xuantian sect since hundreds of years. So, they hade to assist the sect during the moment of danger.


    ''Zhan Chen,e here. What do you think about the situation", Ying Chao spoke as he propped up Zhan Chen towards the sky with his essence energy.


    "Elders, what do you think?", Zhan Chen looked towards the surrounding elders. The situation was indeed dire as more powerful devils hade from the spatial crack. They, the Xuantian sect didn''t hold edge any longer as the advantage had shifted to the devil army.


    "The situation is very difficult at the moment. We have eight tribtion realm experts in our side. Six more were waiting in a nearby area but we shouldn''t call them to fight at the moment. If more powerful devils pour in, them we are done for. Contrary to us, devils have twelve tribtion realm experts by their side. All of them seemed ferocious. I don''t know how the battle will pan out", an elder sent a mental message to Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, your previous idea was correct. We should have attacked with all of our might and ughtered these devils. Unfortunately, we held back and the situation is very drastic now", Ying Chao spoke.


    Other elders also looked towards Zhan Chen as they were really interested to hear the opinion of Zhan Chen. Previously, they considered him someone from the junior generation. He was talented but he couldn''t sway their opinion.


    The battle in the Yellow stone city changed their attitude towards Zhan Chen. His performance came as a shock to them as Zhan Chen had killed approximately hundred Core condensation realm devils in few hours. Even, Martial ascension realm cultivators had struggled against their opponents but Zhan Chen didn''t. He single-handedly ughtered devils as if they were mere chickens.


    He was only eighteen year old at this moment. So, the elders could not even imagine, how far he would grow in the future. At the least, he would be an emperor. So, the elders view Zhan Chen as someone important for the sect.


    "Elders, it is not like we do not have a way out. We should separate the devils and engage them in different groups. There army is almost double than us. So, a frontal collision is not desirable", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Even, we divide ourselves in groups, there number will be more than us. All of our cultivators will be in pressure in that case. There is also their Tribtion realm experts. What if they choose to strike a group? We can''t protect our disciples if we divided them", Ying Chao spoke with a frown. He couldn''t understand why Zhan Chen was suggesting to divide their troops.


    "Do as Zhan Chen is saying. If we don''t do anything out of ordinary, then their is no chance that we will prevail. Divide ourselves in ten groups. We, Xuantian sect has eight Tribtion realm experts, Lee n has one and city lord of the Hundred blossom city has one Tribtion realm expert. Together all of you can keep an eye on all the groups we create", a voice rang inside the mind of Ying Chao. It was Fu Deming who had just spoken. He was the true leader of the Xuantian group who was hiding at the moment.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Everyone, senior Deming has spoken now. He wants us to follow Zhan Chen''s n", he spoke to all the elders present.


    "How can this be?", an elder murmured. He was against the idea that Zhan Chen had proposed.


    "Let''s try out what Zhan Chen is suggesting. If it fails, we can always fall back inside the city and think about another n. Moreover, imperial family can''t ignore the condition much longer", another elder spoke.


    "Then it is decided", Ying Chao looked towards other elders. Everyone nodded their heads. Few of them were doubtful about the sess of the n but they still agreed because of Fu Deming''s order.


    "Zhan Chen, you will lead a group. You are no longeer allowed to act alone. It will be too risky if you fall into an ambush", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Senior, as you wish", Zhan Chen replied.Inwardly, he was rejoicing because they would divide the devils into various groups. That would give him more freedom to target the tribtion realm experts of the devil army.


    Ying Chao waved his hand and Zhan Chen was sent downward. He walked towards Lan Yueyue after talking with the Xuantian sect elders.


    "City lord, have you recovered?", he asked Lan Yueyue. There was many cultivators present nearby. So, he behaved as formal as possible while talking with Lan Yueyue.


    "Yes, I have recovered. What are you discussing with the elders?", Lan Yueyue asked.


    "We are talking about dividing our force. In short, all the cultivators will be divided into various groups. Out strategy will be to divide the forces of devils and force them to fight us after getting separated. Element of surprise will be with us and if we can properly implement the n, then we may outwit the devils", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The elders soon finished discussion among themselves and flew down to organise the troops. This time, the forces from Lee n and the existing cultivators of the Yellow stone city were added, making the forces under Xuantian sect muchrger.


    Zhan Chen was given the charge of one of the ten groups and he epted the responsibility. He took Lan Yueyue with him and together they walked towards the group assigned to Zhan Chen.


    "Everyone, I am Zhan Chen. She is city lord of the Hundred blossom city. I hope all of you consider us as one group. I need full cooperation from each of our members. So that, we can fight together and vanquish our opponents", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 370 Each With Their Own Strategy

    There were roughly one hundred fifty cultivators in each group. The Xuantian sect had mobilized only it''s inner court disciples. So, their number was lesserpared to the devil army.


    Zhan Chen took a look at each of his group members and found displeased expression on many of their faces. Many of them were unsatisfied with the fact that someone as young as Zhan Chen was going to lead them.


    "Everyone, please listen to me. I know many senior brother and sisters are unsatisfied with me being the group leader. I can understand your emotion. So, why don''t we have a littlepetition here? As long as any of you manage to defeat me, I will handover my position to that person", Zhan Chen spoke as he sped his hands towards his group members. He was not keeping his voice down. So, his words attracted the attention of other groups.


    "Junior brother, are you serious?", a burly disciple asked. He had a glint on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Ofcourse, I am. Senior brother, please step forward. If you can defeat me, I will hand over my position to you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "In that case, don''t me me if you receive any injury. To make it more fair, I will restrain my power while fighting with you", the burly disciple spoke.


    "Senior brother, thank you for you generosity", Zhan Chen spoke. But inwardly, he was chuckling coldly. He would never allow anyone to cause trouble at such a critical time.


    The burly man stepped forward in an intimidating fashion. His steps were leaving behind cracks on the stone floor while he walked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Look, it is senior brother Hu Tao. He is one of the most powerful disciple from our Earth peak. His cultivation is already at thete Martial ascension realm. I wonder, what this core disciple, Zhan Chen is thinking? No matter how talented he is, he can never beat senior brother Tao", a cultivator spoke to hispanion. All of them were looking towards Zhan Chen''s group as they were curious about the fight between Zhan Chen and Hu Tao.


    "Junior brother, prepare youself", Hu Tao spoke. He looked coldly towards Zhan Chen and lunged towards him as soon as he finished his sentence. It was clear to everyone that he was not nning to give Zhan Chen any preparation time.


    A punch came towards Zhan Chen''s face in a breathtaking speed. At the same time, two earthen snakes emerged from the ground and tried to imprison Zhan Chen at his ce.


    It was a clever idea by Hu Tao. He was nning to overwhelm Zhan Chen by a single attack. Everyone was wondering how Zhan Chen would extricate himself from such a situation but Zhan Chen was not worried.


    He merely trusted his hand forward and a blinding beam of light came from his hand. Hu Tao stopped just beforending his first on Zhan Chen''s face. There was a look of disbelief on his face as he looked towards his belly.


    There was a finger sized hole on his belly now. He couldn''t imagine what would have happened if Zhan Chen aimed his attack towards his heart. He sent his essence energy towards his sound quickly and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I admit my defeat. You have superb skill. So, I have no problem in epting you as my group leader", Hu Tao spoke. A bottle came flying towards him from the side and Hu Tao shifted his eyes towards Lan Yueyue.


    "It is Moonlight petal powder. Apply a little and your injury will bepletely healed", Lan Yueyue spoke.


    "Thank you city lord", Hu Tao sped his hand. He stored the bottle in his robe and walked back to his ce.


    "Anyone, who is not convinced yet?", Zhan Chen looked towards his group members. Many had still somein in their hearts but they suppressed their emotions when Zhan Chen looked towards them. Only a few in the group could bepared to Hu Tao. So, his defeat cemented his position as the group leader. No one would openly defy hismand anymore.


    The incident involving Hu Tao was very small and it ended as soon as it started. Ying Chao gave themand to press the charge and the city gate of the Yellow stone city was opened with a creaking noise.


    One after another group walked out from the city gate as the devils looked at them with malice and bloodthirst in their eyes. "These human scums think very highly of themselves", a tribtion realm devil general spoke. He was standing together with all eleven other generals.


    "There is no need to hold back anymore. Yan Luo, Nu Chongyi and all the other noble n scions, prepare to fight at any time. This city will be our first outpost in this lowly world", lord Tianzun spoke.


    "Thank you senior", the young devils bowed their heads. There was vicious grin on many of their faces as they watched the Xuantian sect cultivators pouring in from the city gate.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "What is this humans are doing?", a devil general suddenly eximed. To everyone''s surprise, the forces of the Xuantian sect suddenly spreaded out towards different directions.


    "Is it some sort of trap?", a devil general asked. She was a female devil with a head full of crimson hair. She had a voluptuous body and she was wearing almost nothing to hide her natural blessings.


    "Fen Jiayi, are you afraid? Even Law glimpse realm experts will face trouble if they fight with you", another devil general from the side spoke. He was a sinister looking devil but he had a look of respect when he looked towards the sinister looking devil by her side.


    "We are not afraid of trouble. Let the humans employ what ever little tactics they have. We will crush them thoroughly once the battle begins", another devilmented.


    "Attack", Ying Chaomanded loudly from the sky. Every group of cultivators were already scattered towards different directions of the battlefield. They immediately attacked like a sharp sword after receiving themand.


    Each groups of cultivators defended and attacked in unison. The devils fell into disadvantage just after half an hour of battle. Devils were nning to counter attack when the voice of Ying Chao bloomed again.


    "Fall back", hemanded loudly. To the devils'' surprise, the Xuantian sect cultivators left the battlefield like a receding tide. Powerful devils tried to stop them from leaving but they were suppressed by the united groups of cultivators.


    Unlike humans, devils had a different structure in their army. They were keeping weaker devils at the frontline and the true powerful ones were at middle or end of the army. Zhan Chen clearly noticed this. So, he had decided to apply the method of division and kill the weaker devils as much as they could before fighting with the truely powerful devils.


    If they collided directly, powerful devils would have assisted their subordinates. But by the method of division, they managed to confuse the devils and divided their attention. It ensured that many weaker devils were killed in exchange of few loses in the Xuantian sect side.


    "Yan Luo, Nu Chongyi and other noble n scions, step forward. I want all of you to select your subordinates and target the enemy groups. They have yet to know what a noble devil means. Show these scums, how lowly they are actually infront of devilish power", lord Tianzun spoke. He was nning to copy the idea of humans and wipe out their groups by sending in the powerful noble devil scions.

 Chapter 371 The Devils Onslaught

    Command from Lord Tianzun echoed throughout the area. The nobles among the devil ranks, Yan Luo, Nu Chongyi, and others, stepped forward. Few of their eyes were brimming with a terrifying, malicious intent that made even the cultivators of the Xuantian sect, who were standing beyond the city gates, feel a chill running down their spines.


    "Let us show these humans the true might of our Abhorst empire," Yan Luo said, his voice echoing like a chilling gale across the battlefield. He didn''t wait to form a group rather he himself attacked a group of human cultivators alone. His figure blurred, and the next time he appeared, he was already near a group of cultivators.


    The first to face Yan Luo''s assault was a group led by a middle-aged cultivator from the Xuantian sect. He was ate Martial ascension realm expert named Li Wei. Despite his confidence, when he faced Yan Luo, he could feel the depth of thetter''s cultivation. It was an unknown, unfathomable depth that made his heart shudder.


    Yan Luo was like a specter, his figure weaving through the battlefield, leaving devastation in his wake. He merely waved his hand, and a st of devilish energy swept across, sending dozens of cultivators flying. The impact was so brutal that some cultivators were heavily injured even before they could raise their defenses.


    Before Xuantian sect could think of a counterattack, another figure came attacking their cultivators. It was Nu Chongyi. His eyes pulsated with devil energy as he attacked, a group of human cultivators. He extended both of his hands and a swirling vortex of darkness formed in the air. He sent it towards the human cultivators and four cultivators immediately got wrapped by the swirling vortex. The cultivators could not understand what was happening but when the swirling vortex went went back, they saw four lifeless bodies falling to the ground.


    Li Wei and the remaining cultivators felt horrified. They had expected devils to be powerful but not to this extent. Their confidence wavered as they saw the young devils, showcasing monstrous abilities one after another.


    Meanwhile, Zhan Chen observed the battlefield from a distance. He was calmly watching the battlefield, his eyes flickering with a sharp light. He knew that there was a need of a counterattack from their side. If no one could step up, then he would ughter the young devils on his own.


    Suddenly, a monstrous roar resounded, and the earth beneath them trembled violently. A gigantic devil, who was clearly different from the others, stepped forward. His muscles bulged with power, and his skin was a mottled green with sharp spikes protruding all over his body. He was one of the noble devils, Gong Qianshou, known for his brute strength.


    Gong Qianshou let out another roar and charged toward the cultivators. He trampled over the battlefield, his body was like an unstoppable juggernaut. The cultivators who stood in his path were sent flying, their bodies mangled and broken.


    The battlefield turned into a ughterhouse for the devils. Each and every noble devils stepped forward. Few of them were fighting alone and others came attacking while leading a group of devils.


    One of the noble devils, Bai Wuchang came forward while leading a group of devil cultivators. He was a slim devil, with long silver hair that cascaded down his back. He had set of eerie eyes which glowed with dark purple. His lips twisted into a cruel smile when his eyes fell on Zhan Chen.


    ''So, that brat is here. It will be nice to see how long he can stand infront of me", Bai Wuchang murmured to himself. He ordered his subordinates to follow him and came charging towards Zhan Chen''s group.


    Zhan Chen calmly stared towards Bai Wuchang, his expression calm and unfazed. Contrary to him, other cultivators in his group were sweating as they prepared themselves to meet the group of devil army.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Their small confrontation drew the attention of many experts on the battlefield. Devil generals and Xuantian sect elders, all wanted to see who woulde out on top.


    Bai Wuchangattacked as soon he reached near Zhan Chen. His fingers elongated, transforming into sharp ws that dripped with corrosive devil energy.


    Zhan Chen sidestepped, his movements fluid and graceful. With a swift motion, he swept his hand forward, sending a streak of blinding sword light towards Bai Wuchang. The devil became surprised at first but he met the attack of Zhan Chen with his long ws.


    "Not bad human. Unfortunately, it will be yourst day. So, perform the best you can", Bai Wuchang spoke. His eyes glowed with malicious light as he looked towards Zhan Chen. Hisnguage was different than humans but Zhan Chen could understand him easily. A look of ridicule appeared on his face after he heard Bai Wuchang''s word. ''No one is more foolish than a person whoes to look for own death'', he thought to himself.


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel Bai Wuchangunched another set of fierce attacks with his deadly looking ws. Everyone thought Zhan Chen would struggle to fight off such terrifying attacks but he proved all the onlookers wrong. His eyes were calm and disposition was steady as he met the attack of Bai Wuchang withplete ease. Finally, Bai Wuchang started to understand something was wrong. He had been attacking for a while but Zhan Chen had yet to take a step backward in response. He was already running low on devil energy but it seemed like Zhan Chen still had a vast energy reserve to rely on.


    "No...this can''t be," Bai Wuchang murmured to himself with disbelief in his eyes. He had never expected Zhan Chen to be this formidable.


    "Enough ying around. It is the proper time to send you to your grave", Zhan Chen spoke. He took out a sword from his spatial ring and swung it towards the sky.


    "Scattered sword. Divine illumination of the Sun", he spoke loudly as an energy sun manifested just above Bai Wuchang. Bai Wuchang was already stepping backward, his instinct telling him that uing attack was far too dangerous. Before he could take few more steps, the energy sun suddenly burst apart. Numerous small swords scattered and fell upon Bai Wuchang and his group.


    It was only a normal sword technique for Zhan Chen but it attracted the attention of almost everyone in the battlefield. The small swords were glowing with a blinding light. So no one could see exactly what was going on at the moment. Soon, all the swords vanished and the dust settles. There was a look of shock on Lan Yueyue''s face as she saw what her man was capable of.


    It was a bloody sight. A single attack of Zhan Chen, vanquished almost fifteen devils from the face of the world. None of the devils who got attacked by the tiny swords had an intact body. All of their bodies were a mangled mess as they got attacked by Zhan Chen''s sword technique.


    The remaining devils from Bai Wuchang ''s group looked towards Zhan Chen as if they were seeing a horrifying monster. They backstepped immediately and turned their head to run back towards the main army. In response, Zhan Chen spoke only one word. He waved his hand and shouted, ''Attack''.

 Chapter 372 True Experts Joined The Battle

    "Grandma Ming, what do you think?", a bewitchingdy asked the old woman standing next to her. Both of them were observing arge mirror which was disying the battle between the Xuantian sect and the devil army.


    Currently, their eyes were focused on the battle between Zhan Chen and the noble devil, Bai Wuchang. They saw how Zhan Chen used a magnificent sword technique and defeated a group of devil warriors on his own.


    "This brat is very difficult to handle. I thought, I have already seen his limit in the Grand sectpetitions but it seems like, my assumptions are wrong", the old woman spoke. There was a frown on her face as she looked towards the mirror infront of her.


    "Our rtionship with the Zhan n isplex. Zhan n ancestors had helped our Xie family in the past. So, currently out family is in a dilema whether to make an enemy of Zhan n or not", the bewitchingdy spoke. She had a curious expression on her face as she watched the visage of Zhan Chen with interest in her eyes.


    "Past gratitude is a different matter but this brat is an imminent threat. We have to think whether we can tame him or not. If not, we must remove him before he grows up to be an enemy of the imperial family", the old woman spoke. Her face was cold and her tone was biting as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Grandma Ming, rx. Zhan Chen is not a threat yet. We must focus our attention on the Xuantian sect now.


    Our n to weaken them a little, already failed. They have sessfully resisted the devils. It would be unwise, if we ignore them any further", the bewitchingdy spoke.


    ---------------


    The battle was still tilted in the favour of the devils even after Zhan Chen stepped in. There were total seven young devils who hade from the noble families of the Abhorst empire.


    Bai Wuchang got killed but other six devils from the noble families were wrecking havoc in the battlefield. All of their abilities were enigmatic which gave them an edge over other Martial ascension realm experts.


    Among the six, three of them were almost unstoppable. They were Yan Luo, Nu Chongyi and the most powerful, Gong Qianshou. They continued to devastate the Xuantian sect cultivators even after Bai Wuchang got killed.


    Gong Qianshou waved his bulky hands and threw off the Martial ascension realm cultivators with whom he was fighting. A glint appeared on his face as he charged towards the group of Zhan Chen.


    "Boom! Boom", his footsteps were heavy as he left behind footmarks on his way towards Zhan Chen. Lan Yueyue felt worried as she instinctively came forward to protect Zhan Chen.


    "Yueyue, fall back. I don''t want you to get injured while I fight with this devil", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen and saw apletely calm expression on his face. "Can you handle this monster?", she asked with a worried expression.


    "Don''t worry. Even if I can''t defeat it, defending myself should not be a problem. Move away unless you want both of us to be hurt" Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue nodded her head and she fell back despite the worry in her heart. Zhan Chenmanded his group to fall back as he stood on his ce to face the devil.


    eaglesnov?1,§ão§® Gong Qianshou was neither first not slow. He charged towards Zhan Chen in an imposing manner. A courageous Martial ascension realm expert from the Xuantian sect tried to stop the devil but he was pped away by Gong Qianshou.


    He was quite a distance away from Zhan Chen but he covered the distance and looked towards Zhan Chen imposingly. "Human brat, it is a surprise that you have managed to kill Bai Wuchang. He is not the most promising in the Bai n but he is one of their best", Gong Qianshou spoke.


    "What is your point?", Zhan Chen looked towards Gong Qianshou with a frown on his face.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Nothing, I just want you to pay the price. Let me show you what it meant to fight someone from my Gong n", Gong Qianshou spoke.


    He took outrge stone mace from his spatial ring and held it tightly. Muscles on his shoulder bulged as he swung it towards Zhan Chen. It was as if a small storm appeared. The force in air was so great that it blew a strong wind towards Zhan Chen''s group.


    Zhan Chen used the Cloud stepping technique and moved away from his position. There was a look of surprise on his face as he saw the power in Gong Qianshou ''s arms.


    Gong Qianshou shifted his body and threw another attack towards Zhan Chen. Thus time, his attack was more forceful as the gravel and sand particles flew upward along with his attack.


    Zhan Chen didn''t move away this time. He stomped the ground with his leg and jumped upward. He clenched his sword tightly and swung towards the base of Gong Qianshou ''s mace.


    Gong Qianshou caught off-guard as his attack was slightly deflected. Zhan Chen used an ingenious sword technique to fend off his attack. He was nning tounch another attack when a voice suddenly came from the sky.


    "Devils, enough ying around. I hope, you have prepared a Trump Card to face us. I am going to crush your younglings. So, let me see what have you got."


    Facial expression on all devil generals'' faces changed immediately after they heard the words from the sky. "Noble n scions, fall back", lord Tianzun roared. He himself shot into the sky and went towards Yan Luo. Other devil general also took action and tried to bring back the remaining six noble devils.


    An ordinary looking devil general appeared next to Gong Qianshou. No one knew how did he move so fast but he took only few moments to appear behind Gong Qianshou. He held Gong Qianshou with his hands and flew into the sky but that was when the attack from the Xuantian sect came.


    An enormous hand materialized above the devil general who was holding Gong Qianshou with him. "Oh shit, a Law glimpse realm expert", the devil general cursed under his breath.


    The enormous hand clenched it''s fist before the devil general could do anything. A mad look appeared on the devil general''s face as he saw the hand closing around him.


    The next moment, two ck beams, shot out from the enormous hand. Tworge sized holes appeared on the hand and the hand started to crack apart. The devil general had a look of relief as he made his escape with Gong Qianshou.


    He was moving in a maddening speed but this was not enough to shake off the hand. A simrrge sized hand appeared out of thin air and swatted the devil general along with Gong Qianshou.


    The hand seemed to move slowly but the impact was devastating. The devil general and Gong Qianshou crashed on the ground after getting hit by the enormous hand. The hand didn''t like to wait as it immediately attacked the ce where the devil general and Gong Qianshou crashed.


    A terrifying force generated as the huge hand came crashing towards the ground. It collided with countless devil soldiers and finally fell on the ground.


    There was aplete silence in the entire battle field. No matter which side it was whether the devils or the cultivators from the Xuantian sect, all fell silent after seeing such a devastating attack.


    The environment was initially dusty but the dust gradually settled down. There was a palm shaped hole on the rocky group. The hole was almost six feet deep and palm shaped. There was nothing left except the meat pest of devils who had fallen.

 Chapter 373 A Grim Situation

    "That attack just now is from senior Hu Tao, the peak master of the Martial peak. No wonder those devils couldn''t escape", an elder who was watching from the city wall,mented.


    "Senior Tao is famous for his martial techniques. I can''t believe, he has alsoe along to vanquish the devils", another elder spoke. There was a look of respect and surprise on his face as he spoke about the emperor realm expert.


    "Everyone, pay attention. Devils are not that easy to deal with", Ying Chao spoke. There was stern expression on his face as he looked towards the devil generals. The elders who were talking, couldn''t understand why Ying Chao was being so stern. They followed the gaze of Ying Chao and their expression changed as well after they took a look at the devil generals.


    The ordinary looking devil general who thought to be dead by the earlier attack was standing amidst the twelve devil generals. There was no sign of injury on his body as he stood calmly amidst the devil experts.


    Many elder''s couldn''t understand, what was going on but Zhan Chen who was standing in the battlefield, saw what just happened. After the collision of the palm, two shadowy beings escaped from the area of the collision. Both shadows converged together and the devil general reappeared again, unscathed. Zhan Chen would have felt surprise by such an impressive ability if he had not noticed a minor change on the devil general''s face.


    The devil general had three glowing perals on his forehead earlier but after receiving the attack, one pearl dimmed and only two pearls kept glowing on his forehead.


    ''What a peculiar ability!'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was curious to see, how the devils would respond to such a situation.


    -----------------


    "Mu Qiang, are you alright?", lord Tianzun looked towards his fellow general who had just received a blow from a Law glimpse realm expert.


    "Tianzun, mind your own business. An attack or two will never kill me. You know that very well", Mu Qiang spoke with an angry expression on his face.


    "Fine, fine. I am just checking whether you are ready for the sacrifice or not", lord Tianzun shrugged his shoulders.


    "Sacrifice! Are you crazy, Tianzun?", Mu Qiang asked with a startled voice. There was an uneasy expression on his face as he looked towards all of hispanions.


    "Is everyone ready?", lord Tianzun asked with amanding voice. Every devil generals nodded their heads indifferently but Mu Qiang behaved like as if he was going through shock of his lifetime.


    "You guys can''t be serious, right?", he looked towards every general with a faltering voice.


    "Mu Qiang, cut the crap. Replenish your vitality quickly or else you will suffer irreversible damage", a female general spoke. She was quite cold to begin with as her words poured some cold water on Mu Qiang ''s head.


    "Tianzun, you mad ghost. Wait a minute. Let me replenish my vitality first", Mu Qiang spoke.


    "Be quick. There is no time. I am summoning the ancestoral altar right now", lord Tianzun spoke. Mu Qiang ''s figure faded into air as soon as he heard lord Tianzun ''s words.


    All of these conversation seemed like it took a lot of time but it hardly took two or three minutes. Before the Xuantian sect experts could do anything, lord Tianzun had summoned the projection of a grand altar.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Lord Tianzun channeled devil energy and cut open his wrist as soon as My Qiang left. Bluish blood started toe out from his vein but the blood surprisingly flew into air instead of falling on the ground.


    "Soul as the guide, blood as the sacrifice, I, Qiu Tianzun, am summoning the ancestoral altar of our Abhorst empire. May the ancient devils give me strength", lord Tianzun spoke. He was speaking in the ancient devilnguage. So, none of the human experts could understand what was going on. As for Zhan Chen, he would have understood but he was far away from the devil generals and he wouldn''t risk spreading his soul consciousness so far in such a dangerous battlefield.


    Blood continuously poured out from lord Tianzun and they formed some bizzare looking symbols in the air. A sudden heaviness came into the surrounding as devil energy bellowed.


    A three stories altar came into being as lord Tianzun poured his blood like mad. His face was already pale but he still kept pouring his blood untill the altar materializedpletely.


    No one was keeping his eyes on Mu Qiang because everyone was perplexed by the action of lord Tianzun. Few martial ascension realm devils got killed silently as Mu Qiang appeared behind them like shadow.


    "No need to curse me in your after life. It is your fortune that you are sacrificing your lives for our Abhorst empire", Mu Qiang murmured to himself.


    "Everyone, pour your blood and soul energy into the altar. I need each of your contribution to summon the devil god", lord Tianzun spoke.


    The Xuantian sect experts were caught off-guard by the actions of lord Tianzun. They couldn''t understand what was going on but it was clear that the altar was not a good thing at all. It continued to bellow devilish energy and it had an aura that was malicious and evil to extreme.


    Two experts appeared silently in the mid sky. The Xuantian sect experts immediately identified them as the the peak master of the martial peak and the the peak master of the Earth peak.


    Both experts didn''t waste their time anymore. Both of them spread their hands andunched two attacks simultaneously to attack the devil cultivators.


    "Heaven''s wrath; mountain breaking palm"


    "Fury of the Earth dragon"


    A gigantic palm and a lifelike yellowish dragon flew towards the devil cultivators at a breathtaking speed. In response, devils had no worry on their faces. Few of them had a scorn on their faces as they saw the two Law glimpse realm expertsuching attacks towards them.


    The gigantic altar seemed to recognise the danger that the two attacked possessed. It suddenly summened a huge amount of devil energy from the surrounding area and made a pitch ck essence wall to protect itself.


    The two attacks collided on the pitch ck wall but the wall was like a bottomless ocean. It only rippled a little as the two attacks collided.


    "Humans, struggle as you like but your fate is only to be ruled by our Abhorst empire. We the twelve generals under marquis Thornfield, hereby giving sacrifices of our subordinates and sacrificing our own blood to call upon the devil god. May the exalted god show himself", lord Tianzun spoke loudly. He had a reverent expression on his face as he looked towards the empty sky.

 Chapter 374 Extreme Danger

    "What kind of altar is this?", Zhan Chen murmured to himself with a frown on his face. For some reason, he was feeling more uneasy, the longer he looked towards the gigantic altar on the sky.


    An ethereal connection established between the devil generals and the gigantic altar as soon as they chanted along with lord Tianzun. Each of them had reverent expression on their faces as they looked towards the sky.


    The connection rapidly drained the soul energy of the devil generals but the devil generals didn''t flinch even for a moment. It took only few moments and a deep bluish fire burned atop the soul altar.


    "This feeling!", Zhan Chen murmured with a grim expression on his face. He took a step back and asked his group to retreat to a certain distance.


    The fire flickered beautifully on top of the ancient altar. No one could understand, how deadly the fire actually was but Zhan Chen could feel it''s effect. He warned his group to not look at the fire and turned his head to look at the battlefield again.


    The devils whoever saw the bluish fire, felt like they were seeing the most beautiful thing in the world. They lost focus and kept looking at the bluish fire with a foolish expression on their faces.


    Most of the noble devils also had the same expression as they looked towards the fire burning atop the ancestoral altar. A devil general frowned a little and send some of his devilish energy towards the noble devils. The noble devils came out of their stupor after receiving the help of the devil general. There was a look of dread on each of their faces as they looked at the ancestoral altar.


    Peak master of the Earth peak and the peak master of the martial peak attacked once again but they couldn''t make a dent on the wall raised by the gigantic altar.


    "Thud!", a True essence realm devil was the first to fall on the ground. He still had the bewitched expression on his face but the difference was, he wascking a soul at this very moment. One after another devil started to fall on the ground. Their expression was serene but they wereckinga soul when their bodies hit the ground.


    "These bastards", an elder from the Xuantian sect sweated after seeing the fallen devils. He couldn''t understand, how someone could be this cruel to his or her own subordinates.


    The bluish fire burned more brightly, the more it absorbed the souls of the fallen devils. A thick, oppressive aura started toe out from the ancient altar, making it difficult for everyone to breathe. The devil generals, however, seemed to be unaffected, their faces filled with reverence and anticipation.


    A few momentster, a dark cloud emerged from the altar. The cloud grewrger andrger which finally formed an illusory, almost transparent figure. The figure had a towering presence. It stood tall while towering over the gigantic altar.


    The figure had an illusory presence at first but its physical features gradually became more prominent. Xuantian sect cultivators watched with trepidation as they saw the monstrosity in front of them.


    The devil had two horns protruding from it''s forehead, its eyes were closed and its body was cloaked in a dark mist. Despite being only a projection, the figure was terrifying to behold.


    Thunder rumbled on the sky and devil energy bellowed as soon as the devil appeared in the sky of the Yellow stone city. A soul crushing pressure came out from the projection as soon as it appeared on the sky.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The devil opened it''s eyes suddenly and it was the most terrifying that the human cultivators had ever seen. Many of their courage crumbled as they backed away involuntarily from their position. Few could not move from from their ces as their bodies started to skake involuntarily. An indescribable fear gripped their hearts as they stared towards the eyes of the devil.


    ,


    "Exalted devil god, please ept our bow", the devil generals knelt immediately. Other devils also followed suit as they looked towards the devil god with fear and respect on their eyes.


    "Speak, what is it that you desire?", the devil asked with a deep voice. His voice was audible across the battlefield as Zhan Chen also understood what the devil was speaking.


    eaglesnov?1,§ão§® "Exalted devil god, we seek your help. We are only at Heavenly tribtion realm but the Law glimpse realm experts of humans are intervening in our battle. We hope, you teach them a lesson and help our Abhorst empire in conquering this", lord Tianzun spoke.


    "Very well, I understand your concern. I will help you but you need to sacrifice human souls after you win this", the devil god replied.


    "Your wish is ourmand. Please help us, oh, exalted devil god. We promise to sacrifice few cities after winning this", lord Tianzun spoke.


    "Fine, let us start with the closest Law glimpse realm human", the devil god spoke. His eyes fell on Hu Tao, the peak master of the Martial peak who was standing along with the peak master of the Earth peak in mid air.


    "Brother Tao, watch out. The devil is looking towards us", the peak master of the Earth peak warned. There was cold sweat on his forehead as he looked towards the devil with apprehension in his eyes.


    "Withering soul rays", the devil god suddenly muttered something and his eyes shed. Before Hu Tao could do anything, he felt an attacking towards his soul. He hurriedly put up a resistance but it didn''t do him any good. His face paled as the attack of devil god hit his soul.


    Hu Tao could feel his soul energy drying up at a very rapid speed. His sun like glowing soul started to wither and he felt like a dying human at the end of his lifespan. Dizziness came to his mind and couldn''t fight it out no matter how much he tried. His eyes closed off automatically and he lost his consciousness. His body was like a falling stone as it crashed towards the ground.


    "Martial brother Tao", the peak master of the Earth peak called out in a panicked expression. He couldn''t understand what suddenly happened to Him Tao. He scooped his body with his hands and flew towards the distance.


    There was a sudden silence in the battlefield after what happened with Hu Tao. No one could beleive, a mighty emperor would be taken care off like this.


    ''A soul attack that can injure ate emperor realm expert in an instant!'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 375 Chaotic Fight

    The air was thick with fear and disbelief. The fall of Hu Tao, one of their powerful emperor, had cast a chilling shadow over the battlefield. But in the midst of despair, an enraged voice suddenly came from the distant sky.


    "Devil scums, you dare!", an enraged voice was heard across the entire battlefield. A powerful aura surged forth and the silhouette of a person appeared infront of the devil god. He had a tyrannical aura around him and he was holding a pitch ck spear in his hand.


    The enraged person was none other than Fu Deming, the previous sect master of the Xuantian sect. He didn''t utter a single word as he looked up at the devil god. His gaze was sharp and unwavering as he looked towards the eyes of the devil god.


    Without any warning, Fu Deming sprang into action. He drew his spear, its tip gleaming ominously under the crimson fire that he had generated. With a battle cry that echoed through the battlefield, he charged towards the devil god.


    "Spear of the fire dragon",he trusted his spear andunched an attack that directly went for the head of the devil god. The silhouette of the devil god flickered, his illusory body dispersing and reforming which stay unharmed by the attack of Fu Deming.


    Fu Deming didn''t blink although his first attack failed. He followed up with another attack by giving multiple stabs into the air.


    "This is amusing", the devil god chuckled, a look of interest appeared in his ominous looking eyes. He raised a hand and a dark energy formed around his fingers. He flicked his wrist and sent the energy hurtling towards Fu Deming.


    The attack was swift and silent but Fu Deming seemed to be prepared for the attack. He twisted his body and avoided the energy st by a hair''s breadth. He stabbed his spear again. This time, heunched another mighty technique, "Thousand Spear Rain".


    The devil god''s eyes gleamed with interest. He hadn''t expected Fu Deming to evade his attack this easily. He raised his arms, a dark shield materializing in front of him to block the iing attack.


    ''The Thousand spear rain'' unleashed a devastating attack on the remaining devil warriors. The attack was relentless and it couldn''t be stopped even after the devil generals stepped in.


    ----------------


    ''A good chance. I need to take this opportunity and find out what these devils are nning'' Zhan Chen thought to himself. He threw a look at the ongoing battle between the devil god and Fu Deming before turning to look towards Lan Yueyue.


    "City lord, I am handing over our group''smand to you. I need to take care of few urgent matters before returning. In the mean time, I want you to take charge and lead our group farther away from the battlefield", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Where are you going?", Lan Yueyue asked with a worried expression.


    "Don''t worry, I am just nning to gain some information. It will not be long before Ie back", Zhan Chen assured her. He asked his group to follow Lan Yueyue''smand and walked towards the ce where devils gathered.


    He was walking at a natural speed at first but suddenly he used his Cloud walking technique. The Xuantian sect cultivators could not keep up with his speed as he vanished from their sight.


    "It is time to test ''Divine art of Myriad transformation''. Hopefully, I can deceive the devils with this technique", Zhan Chen thought to himself.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He recalled the Divine art of Myriad transformation technique and tried to change his aura. He tried to emte the special frequency and characteristics of a devil''s soul and tried to mold his soul like this. His initial attempts were not quite sessful but he seed in his third attempt.


    His soul fluctuation changed and it appeared like his personality changed within an instant. His facial feature changed and he looked like a battle hardened devil within an instant. His robe was the only thing which could raise suspicion at this moment.


    He borrowed a tattered armour from a fallen devil and wore it over his body. His pant was not much different than the devils. So, he chose to keep it as it was. He moved like a sectre and moved through the devil lines.


    Few devil warriors noticed him but they were too busy to talk with Zhan Chen. All devil warriors including the devil generals were busy with keeping tab on the devastating battle that was being fought between the devil god and Fu Deming.


    Zhan Chen stopped after he reached near the vicinity of devil generals. He spread his soul consciousness and finally got to observe the devil generals from a close distance.


    ''What is with these devils! Few of their soul strength can bepared to an early stage emperor'', he thought to himself. His attention escepecially went towards a female devil whose hair waspletely crimson in colour.


    "Forget about her. My limit is peak tribtion realm soul at this moment. There is no need to take risk when I can get another one who is atte tribtion realm at this moment", he thought to himself. His eyes shed and a nk look appeared on the face of a female devil general.


    She took only few moments to regain herposure but Zhan Chen was sharing a soul connection with her now. "To understand the matters more clearly, let''s take another one as my ve", Zhan Chen thought to himself. There were only two female devil generals among the group of twelve. So, he had to choose a male devil as his ve.


    ''No need to linger here. Let''s retreat'', Zhan Chen thought inside his mind. He used the Cloud chasing steps and walked out of the devil gathering.


    The battle was still raging between the devil god and Fu Deming. All the cultivators in the surrounding had already retreated to distance because no of them wanted to get caught in such a crazy fight.


    Zhan Chen observed battle between the devil god and the Fu Deming and he had a surprised expression on his face as he found out, sign of exhaustion from the devil god. Compared to him, Fu Deming was still going strong. His attacks were getting more tyrannical, the more he fought with the devil god.


    Suddenly the devil god sensed something as his eyes shed. Fu Deming also stopped for a moment as he sensed some powergul aura approaching the battle field.


    "Human, I would have loved to continue our battle but it seems impossible for now. Your help ising and I can''t resist such arge force with my remaining power. So, let''s continue our battle another day", the devil god spoke. He looked towards the devil generals and informed them about the supporting force that the Xuantian sect was about to receive.


    "My followers, it is no longer possible to fight with human infront of me. My will is fading away and I can hardly sustain my self for another ten minutes. So, tell me. Whatever yourst request is. I will go into slumber after retreating from here", the devil god spoke.


    "Oh exalted devil god! We know about your limitation. We will not request you to fight with the human expert any longer. Instead, we urge you to take a look and see if there is anyway you can make the spatial tunnel more stable", lord Tianzun spoke.

 Chapter 376 Arrival Of The Imperial Army

    The terrifying battle came to a halt after the Devil God''s deration. Fu Deming stopped attacking and turned his head to look at the southern direction.


    "These bastards are deliberatelyte but I have to tolerate them because our Xuantian sect really needs their help at this moment", he thought to himself.


    "Devils, pray to heaven that nothing happen to Hu Tao. If he can''t recover, I will ughter each one of you with my own hands", Fu Deming spoke as he looked towards the devil generals. He didn''t care whether devils understood him or not but he was serious about the threat that he had just mentioned. Hu Tao was a pir of their Xuantian sect. So, he would get revenge if Hu Tao couldn''t recover from his soul injury.


    "There is no point in staying here. I am leaving", he dered. He took a look at the devil god before vanishing from his ce. Fu Deming was aware that he couldn''t stop the devil god if he wanted to leave. So, he abandoned the battle to attain to the injury of Hu Tao.


    "Arrange a good sacrifice for me after I stabilize this spatial tunnel", the devil god spoke. He turned into an illusory shadow and flew inside the spatial crack. The battle suspended for the time being after the leaders of both side left. An unusual calmness fell upon the battlefield but the calmness was short-lived.


    Suddenly, a rhythmic sound broke the silence as the cultivators and the devils looked towards the distance. The sound was faint at first but gradually, it became quite clear. It was the sound of hooves beating against the earth.


    Multiple powerful auras surged forth, sending a shockwave across the entire battlefield. The tribtion realm experts of the Xuantian sect let out sigh of relief after they saw the approaching army with their soul consciousness. "Thanks god, the imperial army is here", they murmured among themselves.


    A sea of armored warriors emerged, their armor gleaming under the sunlight. They were riding qilin horses, a special kind of magical beast known for their speed and swiftness onnd.


    The ground shook under the thunderous march of the Imperial army. At their forefront was a man adorned in white armor, a majestic aura radiating from him. He was general Huang, the leader of the Qilin division of the imperial army. He was known for his indomitable strength and strategic prowess.


    As the Imperial army neared the battlefield, an excited expression appeared on many cultivators'' faces. ''We can finally crush the devil army'', they thought in their heads. The human cultivators found renewed vigor to fight, their spirits uplifted by the arrival of reinforcements. Even Ying Chao had a small smile on his face as he looked towards the imperial army.


    Meanwhile, Zhan Chen was quietly observing the entire scene from a distance. His facial expression was calm, but his mind was in turmoil. ''To think that our Seven sea is only an abandoned'', he thought to himself with shock and disbelief in his heart.


    After returning from the devils'' side, he looked into the memory of two enved generals. There were many shocking truth and realisation came to his mind after he skimmed through their memories.


    ording to the devils, the Seven sea was nothing more than an abandoned in the vast cosmos. It was a small which had no connection with any powerfuls or the forces from the immortal realm. If it was not for the opening of the Archaic pce, the Abhorst empire would not have bothered to attack such a insignificant world.


    ''The power of the Abhorst empire is shocking. At least thirty five known sages! That is too big a force for the Northern desert continent. The true concern was the Archaic pce, not this devil invasion. Many forces will descend after the Archaic pce show itself'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    ''At most two months remain untill the opening of the Archaic pce. I need to be prepared. Otherwise, I can''t even do anything if true experts cause trouble for my loved ones'', he further thought.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    A dazzling signal appeared in the sky and Zhan Chen knew it was the time to retreat. The Xuantian sect elders had decided to call back the disciples after the imperial army arrived.


    "Let''s go back. We will see what the elders have to say", Zhan Chen spoke to his group members. The Xuantian sect disciples retreted orderly under the leadership of their group captains.


    "Everyone, it is impossible to stop the devils entirely. No one knows when another spatial crack will open up and another group of devils attack us", general Huang from the imperial army spoke. He was discussing the prevailing situation with the Xuantian sect elders.


    "General Huang, how do you want us to proceed then?", Ying Chao asked. He knew general Huang was a good strategist. So, he wanted to hear his opinion regarding the battle with the devils.


    "I think protecting the city should be our priority. Devils will upy this region if the Yellow stone city got defeated. So, our focus should be at bolstering the city''s defence. Moreover, devils are now gathered together. If we don''t attack them, they will eventually spread apart. That will be the chance for us to ambush some of their leaders", general Huang spoke. Ying Chao nodded his head in agreement after listening to the proposal of general Huang.


    "General, your idea sounds feasible to me. That way, we can conserve most of our man power. I will discuss your idea with our emperor realm experts. If they agrees to it, we can implement your idea", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, do you want to visit senior Deming?", Ying Chao sent a mental message to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen raised his head and looked towards the experts floating in the sky. He saw Ying Chao was looking towards him. He nodded his head as he wanted to know what happened to the peak master of the Martial peak. Moreover, he was curious to learn the next strategy that Xuantian sect was going to adopt.


    "General Huang, excuse me. I have to leave for discussing the matter with my seniors", Ying Chao spoke. He flew downward and took Zhan Chen along with him.


    There were total three emperors present inside the city lord''s pce. Fu Deming had a frown on his face as he kept channeling his soul energy into Hu Tao''s body.


    "Finally stabilized!", he spoke with a hint a tiredness in his eyes. He turned to look towards the gate where Ying Chao and Zhan Chen was waiting.


    "Ying Chao, Zhan Chen, both of you can enter", he spoke while wiping the sweat drops from his forehead.


    Both Ying Chao and Zhan Chen greeted Fu Deming and the peak master of the Earth peak after entering the main hall. Both of their eyes were drawn towards Hu Tao who was lying unconscious on a bed.


    "Senior Deming, how is senior Tao? Is there any danger to his life?", Ying Chao enquired.

 Chapter 377 Offering A Solution

    Fu Deming sighed deeply, ncing over at Hu Tao''s unconscious body. The energy within him seemed to have dried up within half an hour of treatment. He ran a hand through his grey hair, his countenance reflecting helplessness.


    "His soul has been severely damaged," Fu Deming began, his voice echoing the grave concern he felt. "I can stabilize his condition for now, but I can''t heal him. I don''t have the expertise or the means to do so."


    The room fell into a tense silence, the gravity of his words sinking in. Hu Tao, a pir of the Xuantian sect, was lying powerlessly on the bed. No one knew whether he would be able to rise again or not.


    "I have already sent a message to junior sister Liying," Fu Deming continued, a hopeful glint in his eyes. "She has vast knowledge about healing techniques. If anyone in the Xuantian Sect can help Hu Tao, it is her."


    Ying Chao''s face hardened, and he gave a curt nod, signaling his approval of the decision. It was their best bet, and they were running out of options. The atmosphere was tense, everyone aware of the high stakes at y.


    "Ying Chao, what is the imperial army suggesting? Are they ready to help us in our battle?" Fu Deming inquired. He had left the battlefield earlier after sensing the arrival of the imperial army. So, he was now curious about their opinion regarding the battle.


    Ying Chao mentioned the n suggested by General Huang. "Senior, general Huang from the imperial army believes we should prioritize the city''s defenses. If we maintain our position, the devil forces will scatter eventually. Thus, we can aim for opportunities when we can ambush their leaders."


    Fu Deming pondered on this, stroking his beard. It was a strategy that did not take immediate action against the devil army. Instead, it allowed the enemy to disperse of their own ord, leaving them susceptible to sudden attacks.


    "It''s a good n ording to current circumstances," Fu Deming replied after a while. "We have yet to see the true capabilities of the devils. Moreover, they have a lot of tricks in their sleeves. It is better to have patience and force them to expose all their cards", he further added.


    "Zhan Chen, what is your opinion? Have you got any suggestion regarding senior Tao''s condition?", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Other experts may consider Zhan Chen as a mere junior but Ying Chao didn''t think like them. He considered Zhan Chen as a capable young man and a man with great abilities.


    The peak master of the Earth peak frowned after seeing Ying Chao looking towards Zhan Chen. He couldn''t understand why Ying Chao would ask the opinion of an eighteen year old young man.


    Fu Deming merely smiled after seeing the situation. "Zhan Chen, do you have any suggestion?", he asked to lighten the mood of everyone. Him looking towards Zhan Chen for a suggestion would help Ying Chao from escaping an awkward position.


    "Senior Deming, I currently do not have any suggestion but I want to have a look at senior Tao first. I want to know, to what extent, senior Tao is injured," Zhan Chen replied.


    "Oh, you think you can check the injury of Hu Tao!", Fu Deming raised his eyebrow. His curiousity piqued as he allowed Zhan Chen to examine Hu Tao. The peak master of the Earth peak wanted to say something but he stayed silent after seeing the curious expression on Fu Deming ''s face.


    Zhan Chen didn''t use his soul consciousness while checking the soul injury of Hu Tao. Instead, he tapped into his vast pool of spiritual energy and inserted a strand of spiritual energy to check the injury of Hu Tao.


    The peak master of the Earth peak became surprised after seeing how masterfully Zhan Chen was using his spiritual energy. He looked towards Fu Deming with a look of uncertainty on his face.


    "Junior brother Jia, I have forgot to mention one thing. Zhan Chen is the youngest formation grandmaster of our Xuantian sect", he spoke with a smile on his face. His words, stunned both Ying Chao and the peak master of the Earth sect. Both of them became speechless for a moment as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Although the injury in senior Hu Tao''s soul is grave, it is still treatable. I know about a pill which can replenish his depleted soul", Zhan Chen spoke after finishing his examination.


    "What pill it is?", peak master of the Earth peak asked. He didn''t have the previous dissatisfaction, he was feeling towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is Five harmony soul resurgence pill. If senior Liying is unable to heal senior Tao, we can take the help of that pill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    -----------------


    "Zhan Chen, I have to leave. General Huang hase with a message from my family", Lan Yueyue spoke. She came forward to talk with Zhan Chen after he came back from city lord''s pce.


    "Is it something important?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, they are providing me with a cultivation opportunity. So, I can''t deny even if I want", Lan Yueyue replied.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Well then, go back to your Lan family. You cultivation is more important than anything else", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But,there is also my city", Lan Yueyue spoke. She was feeling reluctant to leave the Hundred blossom city at a crucial time like this.


    "Don''t worry, about your city. I will try my best to protect it but you know, situation is unpredictable at this moment", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I understand. Merely worrying about a thing will not help you if you can''t have power to protect it", Lan Yueyue spoke.


    "Shall we go somewhere else? We can''t talk when people are eying us like this", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue nodded her head and followed Zhan Chen towards a distant location.


    "Follow them. Also find out who this young man is?", a tall armoured man spoke to his subordinates. He had a frown on his face as he looked towards the fading silhouettes of Zhan Chen and Lan Yueyue.


    "A tribtion realm expert from the Lan family is with them. We can''t follow them tantly unless we want to offend them", a subordinate spoke quitely to the tall armoured man.


    "Fine, no need to go after them. But I need to learn the identity of that young man. I want to see whether he has qualification to talk with Yueyue like this", the tall armoured man spoke.


    "Yueyue, it will be unfair for me if you leave like this", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Tell me, what else I can do for you?", Lan Yueyue replied with a loving expression on her face. She was feeling a little shy after seeing the intense gaze of Zhan Chen on her body.


    "It is something, we can''t do in public. So, oh beautiful city lord, please apany your admirer into the mansion", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Lan Yueyue ''s face reddened after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. She threw a look towards her subordinate before entering the abandoned mansion.


    Zhan Chen followed her inside, eager to taste the beauty before she left. Lan Yueyue had a blush on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She could feel that, her own body temperature was rising because of the expectation she felt in her heart.


    "Zhan Chen, I will make sure to let you feel good before I leave", Lan Yueyue spoke. Her emotion for Zhan Chen was almost gushing out from her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I also have the same idea. So, why shouldn''t we begin?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lan Yueyue. Both of them came closer to eachother and both of their lips met. Their kisssted for few long minutes. Lan Yueyue wanted more from Zhan Chen''s lips. So, she once again brought her lips closer to Zhan Chen''s.


    "Yueyue, strip. I want to see you throughly before you leave", Zhan Chen spoke. He proceeded to remove his own clothes as Lan Yueyue also did the same. Her beautiful bodypletely unraveled infront of Zhan Chen after she removed thest piece of her undergarments.


    Yueyue, you are growing beautiful day by day. Look at these, are not they growing quite first", Zhan Chen pointed towards her shapely peaks.


    He stretched his his hands and knedded her shapely mountains with his palms. An indistinct moan came out from her mouth as waves of pleasure surged through her body.


    "Zhan Chen, can you use your mouth?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen with expectation in her eyes. She was being quite bold today as she didn''t know when she would see Zhan Chen once again.


    "Happily, I can offer my mouth everyday if you start to produce milk in them", Zhan Chen spoke. He pressed his mouth on her peaks and started to nibble on them.


    "Pervert! How can you think about stealing our baby food?", Lan Yueyue murmured. Her eyes automatically closed as she felt waves after after waves of pleasure coarsing through her body.


    Zhan Chen nibbled her peaks untill her tips becamepletely red. Her peak swelled so much that it seemed like it would burst at any moment.


    "Zhan Chen, can we start? I am feeling.....", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen with water filled eyes. She was already at the point of reaching her zenith as Zhan Chen stimted her only by licking her peaks.


    "Okay, let''s begin. I will not let you go untill I have my fill", Zhan Chen spoke. He raised her by her waist and let hertched onto his arms. Her legs held onto his waist as he prated her sacred garden with his dragon.

 Chapter 378 An Otherworldly Beauty

    "Peak master of the Serene bamboo peak is quite first. It has been only an hour. Yet she had already arrived and checked on the condition of senior Tao", Zhan Chen spoke. He was pounding Lan Yueyue while keeping an eye on the outside.


    "Zhan Chen, what happened?", Lan Yueyue asked. She was standing on her fours while Zhan Chen was pounding her from behind.


    "Emperors are looking for me. Seems like we do not have much time in our hand", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, we should stop", Lan Yueyue separated herself. She still wanted Zhan Chen to continue but she knew what was important.


    "But I am not done yet", Zhan Chen growled. He held Lan Yueyue by her hair and brought his dragon towards her. Lan Yueyue understood what he wanted. So, she opened her mouth and took the mighty dragon inside.


    Some lecherous sound came out as Zhan Chen started to move his waist. Lan Yueyue tried to co-operate as she did her best in swallowing the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon after few minutes of bliss. He had a burning gaze as he looked towards Lan Yueyue. "Stop, you ravenous wolf. We can do it once again when we meet", Lan Yueyue spoke. A blush appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yueyue, good bye. We will meet after you return from your Lan family", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her up and nted an agressive kiss on her lips. Lan Yueyue felt slightly hesitant as she saw Zhan Chen walking out from the mansion.


    "We will meet soon", she murmured after Zhan Chen left the pce.


    "Zhan Chen, where have you gone to? We have been looking for you", the peak master of the Earth peak grumbled. Fu Deming also had a questioning gaze as he couldn''t understand, where Zhan Chen had run off to in such a short period.


    "Seniors, forgive me. I have been cultivating in seclusion", Zhan Chen spoke. His gaze involuntarily went towards the sole female present in the room.


    She was like a shining light in an environment of gloom. There was an aloof expression on her face as she stood next to Fu Deming. She had a tall and slender body with a majestic aura around her. Her beauty could outshine most of the exquisite women, he had ever seen. She was the peak master of Serene bamboo Peak, Shui Liying.


    Her presencemanded respect, and her cold, aloof demeanor drew a clear line between her and the others. Yet, there was an undeniable curiosity flickering in her deep, pure eyes as she stared at him.


    "Are you Zhan Chen?" she asked. Her voice was soft and melodious as gentle breeze.


    "I am," Zhan Chen nodded his head. "It is a pleasure to meet you senior", Zhan Chen slightly bowed his head to show courtesy.


    She gave a slight nod of acknowledgement in response.


    "I heard about the Five Harmony Soul Resurgence Pill from Senior brother Deming." "It''s an ancient pill, and not many have heard of it, let alone seen it. I wonder, how did youe across it?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen looked towards the otherworldly beauty infront of her. He was quite impressed that Xuantian sect was hiding such a beauty of her calibre.


    "Senior, I know an expert who hade across it in an ancient relics. He has unfathomable power and he is quite hard to deal with. But I am sure we can win him over if we present some treasure that he likes", Zhan Chen spoke.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Talk to him. If you want, I can even apany you in person. No matter what, we most get the pill that can cure brother Tao", the peak master of the Earth peak spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, are you sure, you can deal with that person?", Fu Deming raised his eyebrow. He was quite hesitant to push Zhan Chen towards an unknown danger.


    "Senior, there is no concern regarding my safety. That expert was looking for some alchemy ingredients and few valuable yang treasures. As long as we can meet his demand, he will agree to exchange", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You can tell me what alchemy ingredients you need. My Serene Bamboo peak will give it to you as long as it is in our stock", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Senior, shall we return to the Xuantian sect then? I want to take a look at our entire stock before meeting with that expert", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Junior sister Liying, you can bring Zhan Chen back to the sect. Leave Hu Tao with us. I will look after him untill Zhan Chen get us the pill", Fu Deming spoke. He had a look of concern as he looked towards the pale face of Hu Tao.


    "Senior brother, rest assured. I will assist Zhan Chen as much as he wants. We will get the pill no matter what it takes", Shui Liying spoke. Her gaze was firm as she expressed her resolve infront of Fu Deming and the peak master of the Earth peak.


    "Elder Shui, we haveplete trust in your capability", peak master of the Earth peak spoke. Fu Deming nodded his head and Shui Liying left with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen sensed spiritual fluctuation as soon as he walked out of city lord''s pce. He gazed towards the distant corner from where the spiritual fluctuationing in.


    "Imperial family is quite forthright this time. They have sent some good formation materials to build a defence for the Yellow stone city", Shui Liying murmured. It seemed like she was talking to herself but Zhan Chen knew she exined for him.


    "Thank you senior", Zhan Chen spoke respectfully. Shui Liying nodded her head indifferently before walking towards the distance.


    "Senior, where are we going?", Zhan Chen inquired.


    "We are going to pick my little disciple before leaving for the Xuantian sect", she replied. Zhan Chen could see that she was quite reluctant to offer him an exnation.


    ''I can understand why she is against any rtionship. She seems to have some prejudice towards the male cultivators'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was referring to his rtionship with Zi Ningxi which was unweed by Shui Liying.


    ''Don''t worry. I will change your perception soon. I am nning to milk the Xuantian sect a little for this pill but now, I have another goal. I will make you my woman no matter what it takes. Conquering you means, the entire Serene Bamboo peak will be in my hands. All the women and pill ingredients will fall in my hands if I can convince you throughly'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    A glint appeared on his face as he sent a soul seed towards Shui Liying. The strand of his soul was swifter than a light. It prated her defence silently without her knowing.


    ''Let''s see, if I can make you interested in me or not. As long as you start thinking about me, the Soul seed technique will take effect'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    To the spectator''s eyes, he was like an obedient disciple who was following respectfully behind Shui Liying. But only devil knew, what sort of nning he was preparing for Shui Liying and her Serene bamboo peak.

 Chapter 379 Back To The Xuantian Sect

    "Master! Young master Chen!", Zi Ningxi felt surprised for a moment after seeing Zhan Chen with her master. She knew her master was against the idea of getting together with a man. So, she couldn''t understand why her master was bringing Zhan Chen with her.


    "Ningxi, we are leaving the Yellow stone city. I have already informed your elder sister. So, you don''t need to worry", Shui Liying spoke. She took out a flying boat and asked both Zhan Chen and Zi Ningxi to climb it. The flying boat shut into the sky after all three of them rode the flying boat.


    "Zhan Chen, do you know the name of that expert?", Shui Liying asked. She was back to her aloof demeanor after leaving the Yellow stone city.


    "Senior, I don''t have his name. But I know how to contact him. He has a favourable impression on my alchemy knowledge", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Alchemy? You are saying that you have alchemy knowledge?", Shui Liying raised her eyebrow in surprise. Her curiousity piqued as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Can you concoct pills?", she asked with an uncertain voice.


    "Of course, I have little aplishment in that regard", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Unbelievable! You are already a martial prodigy. I have heard that you are youngest formation grandmaster of our sect. Now, you are telling that you also have alchemy talent!", Shui Liying muttered with a look of disbelief on her face. No matter how cold and aloof she was, Zhan Chen''s words were enough to give her a shock.


    "Senior, actually I have a proposal. I don''t know whether you approve it or not. But I will be honoured if you ept my proposal", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Speak, if it is nothing much I will ept", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Senior, I want to have an alchemy contest with you. Ofcourse, the contest will be at the pill grandmaster level. If I can satisfy your requirement, I want to request something from you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Young master Chen, what are you speaking?", Zi Ningxi suddenly interrupted. She had a look of shock and disbelief on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Her actions werepletely natural because it would have shocked anyone from the Xuantian sect if they had to hear the words of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen, a mere eighteen year young man was challenging the most gifted alchemist of the Xuantian sect. His actions was shocking yetughable to speak.


    "Ningxi, don''t interfere. He is responsible for his words and I will make sure that he will not be disappointed. If his words are true, I will dly ept his request. But if he do not have talent, he will have to ept the condition that I put in", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, there is no problem in having an alchemy contest with you. But you must agree to one of my demand. If you lose in concocting grade four pills, you will have to relinquish the agreement between the Zi family and your Zhan n. In short, you have to promise that you will not bother Ningxi in the future", Shui Liying spoke. She had an indifferent expression on her face as she waited for Zhan Chen''s response.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Young master Chen, don''t.....", Zi Ningxi tried to interfere but Shui Liying shot her a stern re. Zi Ningxi stopped speaking obediently but a panicked expression appeared on her face. She had a pleading look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Fine, I agree. But senior must promise me that you will agree to any request that I will put forward", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No problem. You can put forward any request you want. But that will happen only if you win", Shui Liying spoke with a scornful expression on her face. She had a knowing look on her face as she looked towards her disciple.


    Zi Ningxi had a look of disbelief on her face. She couldn''t believe that Zhan Chen would ept a condition where there rtionship was in line. A stinging pain came to her heart when she saw the indifferent expression on Zhan Chen''s face. Two drops of pearl like teardrop came out from her eyes as she couldn''t tolerate the indifferent attitude of Zhan Chen.


    "Ningxi, I have already said you, all men are selfish. They will never respect your feelings or how much you have suffered for them. Their only goal is to be a powerful cultivator, nothing else matters to them", Shui Liying spoke. She was using her soul consciousness to send a mental message to Zi Ningxi.


    Zi Ningxi had a crestfallen expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She couldn''t bear how indifferent he was, to her feeling. She almost ignored her master''s words as she looked towards Zhan Chen. The heartache and pain was almost impossible to bear for her fragile, innocent heart.


    Zhan Chen smirked after seeing how indifferent Shui Liying was acting. He knew, inwardly she was very pleased by her own actions. Her act of maligning all the men, couldn''t escape the surveince of his soul consciousness.


    "Princess, are you a fool? Don''t fall for this witch''s lies", Zi Ningxi suddenly heard a voice inside her mind. She rubbed her eyes and looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief on her face. Zhan Chen was wearing the same attitude as he didn''t turn to look at Zi Ningxi.


    Zi Ningxi didn''t look at him anymore as she calmed down gradually. Even, she herself stretched her actions a little so that her master wouldn''t find out about Zhan Chen''s abilities. Projecting a mental message was something, only a Martial ascension realm cultivator can do. As for projecting a mental message without alerting an emperor, that was a heaven defying ability. Zi Ningxi knew the implication of such a matter. So, she stretched her act a little so that her master wouldn''t doubt Zhan Chen. As for her heartche, it was already gone. She only had a sweet feeling lingering in her heart as she thought about Zhan Chen.


    "We have arrived", Shui Liying announced. She took a look at her disciple before taking a look towards Zhan Chen.


    "If you want to take some rest you can. But you can''t walk away from the alchemy challenge you have brought up. I want to see whether you are an all-rounder genius or a mere braggart who is dependent on his n''s name", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Senior, actions speak louder than words. I don''t have any need for rest. We can start right away or any time you seems fit", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Let''s go to my Serene bamboo peak", Shui Liying proposed. Zhan Chen nodded his head and the flying boat flew rapidly towards a distant mountain.

 Chapter 380 The Alchemy Challenge

    Serene Bamboo Peak stood majestically at a secluded corner of the Blue qilin mountain range. It was known for its natural beauty as well as it''s female only disciples. For the male disciples of the Xuantian sect, the Serene Bamboo peak was nothing less than a heaven.


    The air in the Serene bamboo peak was fragrant with the intoxicating scent of blooming flowers. Lush green bamboo was stretched as far as one could see. Their leaves were rustling in the wind, ying a soothing music for anyone who chose to listen. The scenery was almost like paradise on earth and Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up with interest.


    "What a beautiful ce!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He was clearly impressed with the natural beauty of the Serene bamboo peak.


    Medicinal nts started to appear infront of him. Zhan Chen was surprised to see how carefully they were being handled by the female disciples of the Serene Bamboo peak.


    The disciples noticed the presence of their peak master who was walking along with Zhan Chen and Zi Ningxi. They immediately knelt down to pay their respect. Zhan Chen could see curiousity in their eyes as they looked towards him.


    Walking through this picturesque scene, Shui Liying, Zi Ningxi and Zhan Chen made their way towards the heart of the peak. There were many caves appeared in their way but they skipped all the caves and walked towards a cave which was carved at the highest point of the mountain.


    "It is my personal cave. You are probably the first from the opposite gender who is about to enter it", Shui Liying spoke. She invited both Zi Ningxi and Zhan Chen inside the cave and led them towards a wide hall.


    As they entered, the smell of herbs assailed their noses. Zhan Chen''s eyes immediately fell upon the centre where an intricately carved formation was ced.


    He studied the formation briefly, nodding in silent approval at the magnificent formation. "Shall we begin?" Shui Liying asked, her voice was indifferent as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, senior," Zhan Chen replied with a smile on his face.


    "Take your seat. You can use any furnace you want", Shui Liying spoke. She picked a furnace for herself and sat at a corner of the formation. Zhan Chen sat opposite to her and took out his own furnace. A scorn appeared on Shui Liying ''s face after she saw the earth grade furnace in Zhan Chen''s hands.


    "I suggest you to use one of my pill furnaces. All of my furnaces are of sky grade. If you use an earth grade furnace, it will be a mismatch from the beginning", Shui Liying spoke. She picked a sky grade furnace with her essence energy and sent it towards Zhan Chen.


    "Thank you senior", Zhan Chen feigned civility. He was not nning to displease Shui Liying just because of a mere pill furnace.


    "Good, you can still be taught. Tell me, which fourth grade pill you can concoct?", Shui Liying looked towards Zhan Chen. She was nning to concoct whatever pill Zhan Chen had mastered. That way, she could show the difference between her and a novice alchemist like Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I have concocted Core strengthening pill before. I am confident, I can produce good result if we set Core strengthening pill as our subject of contest", Zhan Chen spoke. He had a look of confidence on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Hmph! What is so special about the Core strengthening pill. It is the mostmon fourth grade pill, one can find. But it still goes to see that this brat has some talent in alchemy", Shui Liying thought to herself. But she didn''t show her disdain outside. She still had the same indifferent expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Fine, we shall take the Core strengthening pill as the subject of our contest", Shui Liying dered.


    "Ningxi, bring four sets of alchemy ingredients for the Core strengthening pill. You can go to elder Yu''s ce and tell her that I am the one who needs it. Moreover, tell her to prepare a list of herbs that our Xuantian sect possess. We need that list after an hour of time", Shui Liying spoke. She may be ying with Zhan Chen but she still had therger picture in mind. She didn''t forget that, they were back to Xuantian sect because of Hu Tao. The only reason she was aodating Zhan Chen because he was the key to Hu Tao''s recovery. As for their contest, she was nning to use it for separating Zhan Chen from her disciple.


    "Master, as youmand", Zi Ningxi bowed her head gracefully and walked out from the main hall. In therge hall, only Shui Liying and Zhan Chen remained.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    You can take this time to adjust your breath. We do not have much time. We need to go look for the Five harmony soul resurgence pill.


    "Senior, don''t worry about it. I need to take a stock of sect''s treasures before meeting that expert", Zhan Chen spoke. He sat cross legged and started to do meditation. Untill now, he was not giving any reason for Shui Liying to doubt him. He was nning to work slowly. So that the Soul seed technique would take effect.


    Zi Ningxi took almost twenty minutes before returning. She removed the ingredients from her spatial ring and presented them infront of Shui Liying. Zhan Chen also opened his eyes at the same time and looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Ningxi, step aside. Watch while I am concocting and try to learn my alchemy techniques", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Are you ready?", she asked Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nodded his head and ced the pill furnace on a tripod. Shui Liying did someplex handsigns and the formation at the center of the main hall roared into action.


    Suddenly, the main hall turned into a boiling desert all of a sudden. Temperature started to rise and two yellow tinged fire strands appeared on the head of the tripod.


    "So, this formation is to extract Earth fire from the underground channel!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. Even with his vast expertise, he had never seen such avish formation to extract Earth fire from the underground level.


    He picked up a set of ingredients and sorted them one by one.


    ''Starlight orchid flower''


    ''Petal of Blue lotus''


    ''Hundred year white fern''


    ''Spiritvine nectar''


    He picked up the Starlight orchid flower and threw it inside the pill furnace. He took a look towards Shui Liying and found her already busy with the pill concoction. Zi Ningxi was standing at a distance from her master. She was watching intently as Shui Liying began the process of pill concoction.


    The Starlight orchid flower began to melt as Zhan Chen controlled the Earth fire. He secretly added some of his soul fire and the Earth fire burned more brilliantly than its earlier intensity.


    Shui Liying felt surprise for a moment as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She was equally rxed as she was concocting only a mere fourth grade pill. She could have concocted more faster but instead, she chose to concoct deliberately slow and teach her own disciple.


    Zhan Chen collected the medicinal essence of the Starlight orchid flower in a jade bottle. He threw other ingredients one by one and extracted their medicinal essence. His expression was leisurely as he turned his head to take a look at Shui Liying ''s progress.

 Chapter 381 The Alchemy Challenge (2)

    Shui Liying looked towards Zhan Chen after extracting the essence of the ''Hundred year white fern''. She felt a little surprised because Zhan Chen was looking at her during thepetetion. She spread her soul consciousness and found Zhan Chen had already extracted essence from two spirit herbs. His speed was lesspared to her speed but he had already extracted the essence from most important ''Starlight orchid flower''.


    "This brat really has some talent. But it is childish of him if he thinks, he can beat me in a contest of pill concoction", Shui Liying thought to herself.


    She refocused her attention on refining the spirit herbs and ignored Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen waspletely rxed as he matched the speed of Shui Liying effortlessly.


    After the shorting and herb refining stage, it was the stage of pill condensation. It was the most important stage as it determined how good a pill would be after thepletion of pill concoction.


    Shui Liying controlled the Earth fire carefully although she was concocting only a fourth grade pill. Her hands danced in the air as she used various seals to control the temperature.


    The process of pill condensationsted for almost forty minutes. "I am done", Shui Liying dered and looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was still controlling the earth fire and Shui Liying nodded her head after seeing this. She didn''t notice that Zhan Chen was merely puting up an act to hoodwink her.


    "I have finished the pill condensation", Zhan Chen dered after ten minutes. There was a slightly tired look on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "You have done well. You are still sittingfortably despite such a burden on your spirit. Admirable", Shui Liying spoke. This time, she was not putting up an act as she praised Zhan Chen sincerely.


    "Senior, you jest. I still have much to learn when ites to alchemy", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Of course. It is good that you understand. The dao of alchemy is vast and we are just beginners", Shui Liying nodded her head.


    "Lets see. What kind of pill you have concocted. Regardless of your result, you have to honour your promise. I want you to stop bothering Ningxi in the future", Shui Liying spoke. Zi Ningxi felt her heart bing heavy after she heard her master''s words. She couldn''t understand why her master was so much against their rtionship.


    "Senior, I will definitely honour my promise if I lose. But for that, I have to see our results", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Well then, take out your pill. Let''spare it with mine", Shui Liying spoke. She opened the lid of her furnace and an intoxicating aroma of her pill wafted through the air. Her pill waspletely glossy and lustrous. There was a look of pride on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is a top tier pill! Master you are awesome", Zi Ningxi eximed. Suddenly a thought came to her mind and she became downhearted.


    She was extremely happy about her master''s acheivement but her heart became heavy when she thought about the implication. She knew Zhan Chen was talented but it was almost impossible for an eighteen year old young man to produce a top tier pill.


    Pills are generally divided into three tiers. Low, middle and high. Some talented experts could produce extremely high grade pills which were called ''top tier'' pills. Such pills were rare and very few in the Northern desert continent could produce it.


    Shui Liying was known as one of the genius in the Alchemy path. Except the Medicine valley, no one could bepared to her in alchemy knowledge. So, it was no wonder that she produced a top tier Core strengthening pill. Zi Ningxi felt worried as she looked towards Zhan Chen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Zhan Chen, are you convinced?", Shui Liying asked. She wore her usual indifferent expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, you are indeed a good alchemist. I can say that much after seeing the top tier pill. But the result is yet to be decided. Let me present my pill before we draw any conclusion", Zhan Chen spoke. He removed the lid of the furnace and a strong aromatic smell wafted through the air.


    The smell was invigorating. Zi Ningxi felt her mind and body clearing up just by inhaling the smell in the air. "Such a strong smell!", Shui Liying ''s nose twitched a little. There was a surprised expression on her face as she looked towards the pill furnace of Zhan Chen.


    She used her essence energy and picked up the pill that was resting inside Zhan Chen''s pill furnace. The pill waspletely glossy and lustrous like her own pill. There was still some difference between both of their pills as there was a faint vein like pattern itched on Zhan Chen''s pill.


    "Pill vein!", Shui Liying muttered with a look of shock on her face. Her phoenix eyes widened as she looked towards the pill hovering in the air.


    "Pill vein! How is this possible?", she muttered again. She plucked the pill from the air and held it with both of her hands. Her mind waspletely focused as she examined the pill that Zhan Chen had concocted.


    "Wonderful! Really wonderful! I am actually holding a perfect tier pill in my hand", she muttered with a look of shock and exhration on her face. Her indifferent expression changed to one that of a smitten. Her appearance was almost like a mad cultivator who had finally acheived his goal.


    Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow a little after seeing Shui Liying''s condition. He had never expected such an intense reaction from her just by seeing a perfect grade pill.


    "It will be more easy now. I don''t know that she is so much interested towards alchemy ", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He didn''t disturb her as she continued to examine the pill in her hand.


    "Name your price. I am ready to give whatever you want in exchange of this pill", she spoke after a while. There was a maddened glint in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "This woman is hopeless. It seems like she ispletely possessed by the dao of alchemy", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Senior, you can keep it if you want. But I want to know whether I am the winner of not", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ofcourse, I have lost. It is an insult if youpare the perfect tier pill will a top tier pill", Shui Liying spoke. She was slightly at ease after Zhan Chen promised her the perfect tier pill.


    "Senior, I want to know whether you will keep your words or not. You have promised me a request that I can put forward at any time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    .

 Chapter 382 Confused Beauty

    "Tell me whatever request you have. As long as it is not against our Xuantian sect, I will dly fulfill it", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Senior, I promise, the request is not life threatening or anyway harmful to our sect. I am only in a dilemma because I don''t know whether you will keep your words or not", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Brat, who do you think I am? If I, Shui Liying can''t even fulfill a single request from a junior like you, will I have any face left to see others?", Shui Liying bellowed. She was slightly unhappy that Zhan Chen kept doubting her.


    "Princess, can you give us some time? I want to have a private conversation with senior Liying", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ningxi, you can wait for me outside", Shui Liying nodded her head.


    "Tell me, what is it that you want?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I want you to be my woman", Zhan Chen spoke in a straightforward manner. He had a firm and confident look on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Impudence", Shui Liying ''s face became cold. A torrential pressure fell upon Zhan Chen as she released her emperor aura.


    "Senior, you can''t threaten me. I have put forward my request after defeating you fair and square. If you do not want to honour your promise, that is fine. I wille back to propose you after bing an emperor", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t take a step back despite the torrential pressure falling on him.


    "Fair and square? That is only a fluke. A perfect tier pill is no joke. As for making me your woman, that will not happen. I will rather die than epting a man in my life", Shui Liying spoke. She still had a cold expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, you may not believe me but I can concoct perfect tier pills as I please. I am really nning to spend some time with you but you have rejected my offer. I have to go look for another woman because I am a dual cultivator. I need somepany to increase my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But honestly, I am really interested in you. No women cane close to you in terms of beauty. But it is a shame. I have to wait untill I became an emperor. Even after that, there is no guarantee that you will agree to be my woman. I thought, I will win you fair and square but I don''t know that you will backtrack after hearing my request", he further added. There was a look of disappointment on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying fell silent for some reason after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She wanted to be angry but she couldn''t find any reason to stay angry at Zhan Chen. He was very polite to her and he was straightforward when he put on his request infront of her. She withdrew her emperor aura and stayed silent for a while.


    Zhan Chen also waited patiently. He knew, it was futile to push such a matter.


    "Just now, you speak that you are a dual cultivator?", Shui Liying asked after a while.


    "Yes senior", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "It means you have other women beside Ningxi?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Yes, I have beside princess", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Is she aware that you are a dual cultivator?", Shui Liying asked.


    "Yes senior, she knows. I have already talked to her about it", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Fine, we have other matters at our hand. What happenes here will stay between us. As for your request, it is not possible but let me think whatelse I can do for you", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Senior, as you wish. I am still adamant on my request but I will stay silent if it bothers you. As for the perfect tier pill, it is my gift for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, I will keep that pill for now. You can go with Ningxi and check all the herbs we have in our Xuantian sect", Shui Liying spoke. She waved her hand and Zhan Chen was pushed outside of the main hall.


    "Ningxi, apany him. Take him to elder Yu''s ce and let him check the list she has prepared", Shui Liying sent a mental message to Zi Ningxi. She herself, stay seated in the main hall. Her eyes werepletely focused on the perfect tier pill, Zhan Chen had concocted.


    "He is right. He has won fair and square. It is I who is bing unreasonable. But what else can I do? epting someone is not a child''s y like what he thinks. I thought I hate every one from the opposite gender. But this is not the case! For some reason, I can''t bring myself to hate him. I can''t scold him either. He is very polite and acted reasonably when I refused his offer. What should I do?", Shui Liying thought to herself. She didn''t know that she had already entered an inescapable trap from where she could never return.


    Soul seed technique was such a miracle technique. It was neither a godly nor a devilish technique. It was only an ingenious technique which enhanced someone''s feeling towards the user.


    If a person had no emotion whatsoever for the user of the Soul seed technique, the technique would not affect her but if she had any curiousity or emotion, she was bound to fall for the Soul seed technique. Such was the case for Shui Liying. Zhan Chen left behind a good impression and some intriguing words which piqued her curiousity towards him. The soul seed technique took effect as she continued to think about Zhan Chen.


    ''Impressive, there are so many sixth tier spirit herbs hidden in the Xuantian sect. There is also this Seventh tier spirit herb, ''Empyrian Jade vine''. It will be really helpful if I collect one of its fruits", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    ''Fine, I have checked all the spirit herbs that the Xuantian sect possess. The next target will be the third floor of the Treasure hall. But that can wait. I have to do something for the mischievous one who is protesting since a long time'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Princess, I am keeping this list with me. Senior Liying seems to be upied. So, should we go to your ce and do something to kill our time?", Zhan Chen spoke. He murmured thest line in Zi Ningxi''s ears.


    "Young master Chen, we can visit my ce if you want. But there is also my aunt who is staying there", Zi Ningxi spoke with a blush on her face.


    "Don''t worry about her. Let us go to your ce", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a soul consciousness shadowing behind them but he didn''t do anything to hinder it. Instead, he went along the flow and let the soul consciousness follow him untill Zi Ningxi''s ce.

 Chapter 383 Peeking Is A Bad Habit

    Zi Ningxi''s ce was located in a secluded location inside the Serene bamboo peak. Swaying bamboos and colourful flowers were everywhere as Zhan Chen followed Zi Ningxi into her ce.


    Zi Ningxi was only an inner court disciple but she was the personal disciple of the peak master. That''s why, she was given a personal dwelling ce which could be considered luxurious for most of the inner court disciples.


    "Young master Chen, this way", Zi Ningxi invited Zhan Chen into a narrow cave. There were only fourpartments inside her cave. Among them, one was upied by her aunt, Zi Nuan.


    "She is the actual reason why I choose to visit princess'' ce. Otherwise, I could have yed with princess somewhere else", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Shall I inform aunt about your arrival? She is inside herpartment and she can''t notice us because of the istion formations", Zi Ningxi spoke.


    "No, we can see herter. The first thing we need to do is.....", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Ningxi.


    "Young master Chen, pleasee to mypartment", Zi Ningxi spoke with a reddened hue on her face. Her heart was like a startled deer which was threatening to leap out of her body at any moment.


    Zi Ningxi''s livingpartment was sparsely furnished with a modest wooden table ced at a corner. There were some scrolls and books. Except these, there was no furniture in the entire ce.


    Zi Ningxi unfolded a bamboo mat and ced it at the center. "Young master Chen, please bear with it. I have nothing else to let you rest at the moment", Zi Ningxi spoke with an apologetic expression on her face.


    She was a princess yet she was a very simple girl. She had not purchased anything for herfort after joining the Serene Bamboo peak. Her only goal was cultivation which she was pursuing with all her heart with the guidance from her master.


    She had let go of everything but one thing, she held dear to her heart. It was the memories which she had shared with Zhan Chen. She would often think about him but she couldn''t believe that one day she would get to stay with Zhan Chen in her personalpartment.


    "Young master Chen, please sit. You can inform me if you need anything else", Zi Ningxi spoke with a blush on her face.


    "Princess, you jest. Whatelse can I need if I get to share some time with you", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her closer and pressed his lips on her lustrous lips.


    Zi Ningxi reciprocated with passion and both of them shared a long kiss with eachother. Her saliva was fragrant and Zhan Chen didn''t hesitate to press his lips once again to get a taste of her fragrant nectar.


    "Princess, remove your garments. I have yet to see you enough even though we have shared some moments in the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a glint on his face as he looked towards Zi Ningxi.


    "Young master Chen, I have a request", Zi Ningxi spoke. She didn''t remove her clothes instead looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, please tell. What do you want me to do for you?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Young master Chen, it is you who always make me happy but I have yet to do anything for you. Please tell me what should I do to make you feel good. Is there no way other than doing that thing?", Zi Ningxi asked. She was feeling shy yet she chose to express her thoughts infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen recalled that he had yet to demand anything from Zi Ningxi. He would only stimte her and made her delirious whenever they met. As for his own pleasure, he had yet to think about it while meeting Zi Ningxi.


    ''No wonder, she has confusion in her heart'', he thought to himself. Rtionship was always give and take. One would feel ufortable if she enjoyed everything yet not reciprocating a single thing in return.


    "Princess, do you really want me to be happy?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Ningxi. Zi Ningxi nodded her head with a determined expression on her face.


    "Kneel down then. I will teach you what you can do for me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zi Ningxi knelt down immediately and looked towards Zhan Chen. There was curiousity and determination in her beautiful eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Zhan Chen pulled down his pant and freed his dragon. The little monstrousity was a sight to behold and it immediately caught the attention of Zi Ningxi.


    "Princess, hold it with your hand", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Ningxi stretched out her hand curiously and wrapped her finger around Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Yes, like this. Now move your hand", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Ningxi followed each of his instructions and started to became proficient in stroking Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen was patient while guiding her slowly.


    "Princess, if you want, you can use your mouth. It is more pleasurable than using your hand", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay", Zi Ningxi replied.


    -----------------


    Zhan Chen gulped the yin essence of Zi Ningxi and let her go. His dragon was raging like a wildfire but Zhan Chen knew he couldn''t push things with Zi Ningxi.


    "Princess, we should stop. You can take some rest while I chat with your aunt", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "By the way princess, I have forgot to ask one thing? Is your aunt promised to anyone?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Ningxi.


    "No, aunt is alone. She has never considered rtionship in her entire life", Zi Ningxi replied.


    "Young master Chen, you are asking about aunt because?", Zi Ningxi looked towards Zhan Chen with an astonished expression on her face. She was surprised because she had never imagined Zhan Chen with her aunt.


    "Princess, what is your opinion? Do you have any problem if I try to make her my partner?", Zhan Chen asked. Zi Nuan was already his woman but Zi Ningxi was unaware about it. Zhan Chen knew, they couldn''t keep this a secret infront of Zi Ningxi for a longer period. So, he chose to speak to her to see her reaction.


    "Young master Chen, you have a huge age gap. I don''t know what will aunt tell, but don''t upset her. If she agrees to be your woman readily then I have no problem. But please don''t do anything to coerce her. She is very sensitive in these matters. I fear she will leave me if she has any unpleasant conversation with you", Zi Ningxi spoke. She had a pleading expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, look at me", Zhan Chen spoke after seeing her reaction.


    "Can I do anything that will make you worry?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Ningxi. Both of their eyes met and Zi Ningxi shook her head. She had an apologetic look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Young master Chen, I am sorry. I am just worried about aunt", Zi Ningxi spoke with a low voice.


    "Princess, I understand. Please don''t worry about your aunt. She will never leave your side. I can promise you that much", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Now tell me, if I am allowed to court your aunt or not?", Zhan Chen asked Zi Ningxi.


    "Young master, you can. I don''t know what will father say but I will be happy as long as aunt is content", Zi Ningxi spoke.


    Zhan Chen gave her a farewell kiss before leaving her personalpartment.


    ''Young master Chen is such a nice person. He is also very skillful in attracting women towards him. I wonder if he can make my icy aunt fall for him", Zi Ningxi thought to herself. There was a curious look on her face as she sat upright.


    She was unaware that she and Zhan Chen was being followed by a soul consciousness all the time. That soul consciousness was very elusive and powerful. So, a mere Core condensation realm cultivator like her could not notice that sneaky soul consciousness.

 Chapter 384 Changes In The Yellow Stone City

    Silence loomedrge in the devil camp when the imperial army and the Xuantian sect was building the defence of the Yellow stone city. If one would look closely, they could find anticipation in devil generals'' eyes. There was an ardent expression on many of their faces as they looked towards the spatial crack time to time.


    Time started topse as the devil generals waited patiently. Spatial fluctuation finally came from the spatial crack after few hours of waiting. Powerful soul fluctuation rolled over as the devils started to emerge one after another. There were eight devils in total and each of them were ferocious and mighty.


    "We have twenty generals in our side now", lord Tianzun murmured after the eight devils emerged. "It is the time for lord Marquis to emerge", he murmured again after the eight devil generals came out.


    A terrifying figure emerged from the spatial crack after few minutes. He was a seven-foot-tall devil who had fierce spikes jutting out from his hands. He was a devil marquis as formidable as the emperors of the Northern desert continent. He had sinister red eyes that glowed with a fearsome light. He took a look towards the cultivators of the Xuantian sect and every human warriors shivered in fright when they faced the monstrosity infront of them.


    Their shock and fright yet to fade when another chilling aura erupted from the spatial crack. A devilish female emerged who had curved horns on her forehead. She had a stinger like tail on her back and she was holding a terrifying sawtooth sword in her hand. As if her appearance was not enough to scare the human cultivators, she was riding the back of a two headed Serpentine creature.


    ''Marquis Scarlet moon! What is she doing here in such a ce?'', lord Tianzun thought to himself with a fearful expression on his face. He knelt along with other devils to pay respect to newly emerged marquises.


    "We wee lord Ghost w anddy Scarlet moon. It is our honour to be in yourmand", the devils spoke simultaneously. They stayed kneeling untill the male marquis addressed them. "We have only one goal here. That is to kill as much as we can and establish the Abhorst empire as the absolute ruler".


    ---------------


    "Zhan Chen!", Zi Nuan eximed after Zhan Chen entered her personalpartment. She was not in deep cultivation. So, she immediately found out after Zhan Chen invaded her personalpartment.


    "Why are you here? Don''t you know that it is forbidden for men to enter the Serene bamboo peak?", Zi Nuan asked with a frown on her face.


    "You know my reason. I havee to see you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But it is too risky. You could have send me a message", Zi Nuan''s eyes softened.


    "I have obtained permission from the peak master of the Serene Bamboo peak. I think it wouldn''t be a problem if Ie to see you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What about Ningxi? Where is she?", Zi Nuan asked. Her heart started to beat faster as she felt the gaze of Zhan Chen over her body.


    "She is cultivating in herpartment. I have followed her along after visiting the Serene bamboo peak", Zhan Chen spoke. He picked the beauty from her sitting position and pressed his lips on her lips.


    "Zhan Chen stop, we should not do it when Ningxi in next door", Zi Nuan tried to separate herself after the kiss. She could feel something erect poking against her belly. She knew what was about toe. So, a panicked expression appeared on her beautiful face.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Princess, I have already received the consent from Ningxi. She is okay if I court you but she has warned me not to annoy you", Zhan Chen spoke. His hand was already roaming in the back of Zi Nuan as he massaged her tender flesh.


    "Zhan Chen, please. It will be immoral if she finds out", Zi Nuan spoke. Her face was already red because of the stimtion she had received.


    "Princess, look at me. Tell me, if I am nning to let you go. Today, I am nning to taste youpletely. No one even the peak master of Serene Bamboo peak can''t stop me today", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Ba thumb", Zi Nuan felt her heart would leap out of her body if she heard anymore of Zhan Chen''s words. Her body was already reacting after she heard the dominnering words from Zhan Chen.


    "You arepletely unreasonable! In that case try to be gentle. I don''t want Ningxi to find about us", Zi Nuan rolled her eyes charmingly. She let go of her restraint and wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s back.


    Zhan Chen cupped her face with both of her hands and nted an agressive kiss on her lips. Zi Nuan''s lips swelled slightly as Zhan Chen nibbled on her lips agressively.


    "Zhan Chen, slow down", Zi Nuan spoke softly. She had not muchin only love and longing as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen nted another kiss on her vermillion lips. She grabbed the globes below her waist and looked towards Zi Nuan with a passionate look on her face.


    "Princess, I have to confess. I have multiple women but no one can make me lose my control like you. I really couldn''t supress my instinct whenever I meet you. It is your natural gift but it is a fatal attraction for me. I don''t know what will I do if I hurt you identally", Zhan Chen spoke. He waspletely sincere becausehe knew it was the only way he could develope a bond with Zi Nuan.


    "Do you really like me this much?", Zi Nuan asked Zhan Chen. Her heart was already gushing with tenderness and love as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, it is true. It is hard to control myself whenever you are around me. It is about being physical and it is a necessity for me. But beside that, I am really fond of you. You are graceful, you are gorgeous, moreover you are protective. I don''t think anyone can rece your ce in my heart. Every women had a unique personality. So, I can''t mix up anyone with your identity. I am thankful that I get to make you my woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You scroundel, stop talking", Zi Nuan felt emotional all of a sudden. She wiped her tear with her hands and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No need to control youself. Do whatever you want with me. I will not me you. Moreover, I know that you willheal me if I feel ufortable anywhere", Zi Nuan spoke. She started to remove her own garments and looked towards Zhan Chen charmingly after being naked.


    "Idiot! Remove your clothes", she spoke softly. Zhan Chen gulped his saliva and nodded his head. He was really smitten after seeing the exquisite beauty infront of him.

 Chapter 385 Bonding With Zi Nuan

    Zhan Chen removed his clothes and pulled Zi Nuan into his arms. Zi Nuan was a tall woman. So, she slightly leaned her back when Zhan Chen pressed for a kiss. Both of their bodies pressed against each other as both of them shared a kiss.


    It was a passionate kiss as Zhan Chen invaded the mouth of Zi Nuan with his tongue. Zi Nuan reciprocated eagerly and both of their tongues United. Both tasted eachother''s saliva and both were still greedy for more. Zhan Chen could see the desire for him in Zi Nuan''s eyes.


    "Princess, lie down", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Nuan nodded her head and lied down on the wooden mat. Her body was like an enchanting mystery which enticed Zhan Chen to explore it.


    Zhan Chen lied on top of her body and shared another kiss with her. He moved downward and ced a kiss on her slender neck. Zi Nuan felt sweet when Zhan Chen rained kisses on her bare arm. Her every part was enticing and Zhan Chen was determined to explore every inch of it.


    He held her gigantic peaks with his hands and started to fondle them. Zi Nuan started to let out soft moans as waves after waves of pleasure coarsed through her body.


    Her eyes became watery as Zhan Chen''s hands became more forceful. Zhan Chen felt like a fire engulfing his body as he saw the charming expression of Zi Nuan. She was slightly ufortable with all the force he was applying yet she had that unconditional love and yearning in her eyes as she looked towards him.


    "Princess, it is hard controlling myself. What should I do?", zhan Chen asked while knedding her breasts. He was clearly in a dilemma as he looked towards Zi Nuan. All the previous times, he had struggled hard to control himself and it was clear to him that Zi Nuan ''s charm was increasing every passing day.


    "Idiot, I have already told you not to control yourself. Let it out for once. We can always think about the implications after we are done", Zi Nuan spoke softly. She was quite epting and sincerely desiring for Zhan Chen to put away all of his burdens. Her heart was already content after Zhan Chen sincerely confessed earlier. Now, she didn''t want any more barrier between them.


    "In that case, I have no need to worry. Please bear with me, princess", Zhan Chen spoke. Bis eyes became feverish as he looked towards Zi Nuan.


    "Nnnn~", Zi Nuan moaned as Zhan Chen massaged her breasts eagerly. He pulled her reddish tips and stimte Zi Nuan. Her peaks were at the size of fully developed coconuts. They were not overgrown like watermelons yet were big enough to entice any men living on the.


    "Princess, I have learned a trick when we are in the Longyang city. It is not much. So, hopefully you will agree to it", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled himself up and brought his towering dragon towards the peaks of Zi Nuan. He was nning to have a go at them which he had learned from Lin Xintong and Sun Xiu Lan.


    Zi Nuan was slightly curious as Zhan Chen wrapped his dragon with her peaks. A shearing hot feeling wafted into her heart as Zhan Chen started to move his waist


    "Princess, can you hold them?", Zhan Chen asked. "Of course", Zi Nuan waspletely aodating as she held her own breasts with her hands. Zhan Chen felt like something exploded in his mind as the natural pillows tightened around his organ.


    "Princess, squeeze a little more", Zhan Chen looked towards Zi Nuan with a feverish expression. Zi Nuan was little bit curious as she held her breasts more tightly. Zhan Chen''s dragon started to throab as he felt pleasure coarsing through his body.


    "Princess, hold just like that", Zhan Chen spoke and started to move his waist. Zi Nuan felt like a shearing hot rod making a branding on her soul, each time Zhan Chen moved his waist.


    She started to feel pleasure after few thrusts from Zhan Chen. She amodated to the needs of Zhan Chen passionately as she looked towards Zhan Chen with boundless love in her eyes. Zhan Chen made eye contact with her while moving his waist. Her eyes were a catalyst for him as he moved with wanton abandon.


    Zi Nuan felt like she was reaching her peak after ten minutes or so. Zhan Chen was still moving his waist rapidly as her body twitched. "We have yet to do anything, yet I am...", She murmured with a incredulous expression on her face. Her body temperature started to rise as her body shivered. She was about to release her holy water when Zhan Chen let her go. He dragged her thighs upward and pressed his mouth on top of her sacred cave.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Zi Nuan felt like her mind went nk all of a sudden. An incredible wave of pleasure coarsed through her body as Zhan Chen invaded her sacred cave with his tongue. Her body started to twitch as her breathing became ragged. Finally, she couldn''t hold herself and let out all her holy water inside Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    "Princess, I should visit you often. It will be harmful if you umte too much", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Scroundel", Zi Nuan rolled her eyes with a blush. She was feeling a blissful moment after letting go of her fragrant water.


    Zhan Chen was not nning to give her a reprive. He struck his tongue out and gave a lick to Zi Nuan ''s sacred cave. He knedded the soft thighs of Zi Nuan and Zi Nuan didn''t even know when she became ready for another round.


    "Princess, let''s begin", Zhan Chen spoke. He rubbed his dragon on the entrance of Zi Nuan ''s sacred cave before entering her.


    His thrust were initially gentle but they gradually be overbearing. Zi Nuan finally knew why Zhan Chen was being apologetic. Zhan Chen''s breathing was ragged as he pounded her relentlessly. There was an evil glint on his face as he looked towards her.


    "Good, move like that. I don''t want you to hold back while staying with me", Zi Nuan thought. She let go of her all of her thoughts and embraced the pleasure coarsing through her bodies.


    There was only ragged breathing in the room as Zhan Chen pounded Zi Nuan mercilessly. It was not like that he hadpletely lost his mind but it was also difficult to control himself at this moment. Evil fire was burning through his body and Zi Nuan ''s body was like oil igniting that fire.


    "Princess, I will never allow you to leave my side. You are mine, mine alone", Zhan Chen spoke while pressing against Zi Nuan ''s body. He was still moving his waist while looking towards Zi Nuan.


    "After all of these, it is a foregone conclusion. I can''t never ept a man other than you", Zi Nuan spoke. She wrapped her around Zhan Chen''s waist and held him tightly as he continued to pound her.


    Her body shivered as she looked towards Zhan Chen with a passionate look on her face. Zhan Chen lowered his head to kiss her and Zi Nuan burst up with a stream of liquiding out from her cave. It was the second time she had released her yin water since Zhan Chen started to pound her.


    Zhan Chen felt like he was burning but he controlled himself. He knew he needed to give Zi Nuan some time unless she would end up being physically injured. There was a limit to how much a woman''s body could handle and Zhan Chen waspletely aware about it because of his knowledge as a dual cultivator. Zi Nuan waspletely drained at the moment and it was not advisable to continue further.


    A woman''s capacity would increase with the increase in her cultivation level. The increase was exponential at the level of tribtion realm and emperor realm. Zi Nuan was only a Core condensation realm cultivator at the moment. So, Zhan Chen did his best to control himself. He was happy that she aodated his selfish desire but he wouldn''t harm her even though she given him the permission.


    "She will recover at most thirty minutes of time. Let''s see if little princess is willing to help me in this period", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 386 Changes In The Yellow Stone City (2)

    "Attack", lord Tianzun shouted and the devil army charged towards the Yellow stone city with renewed vigour and determination. Their eyes were burning with battle lust and madness as they charged towards the city wall of the Yellow stone city.


    This time, the tribtion realm devil generals had also joined the battle. So, the devil army was looking more powerful and formidable as a result.


    Various long range and short range attacks came crashing towards the city wall. The wall would have broken apart easily but a transparent barrier suddenly appeared to stop the attacks.


    "Devil generals, attack in coordination. Let''s see if this puny barrier can hold us back", lord Tianzun roared. He himself floated towards the barrier and the other devil generals followed him.


    "Everyone, it is a crucial time for us. Don''t hold back. Pour as much essence energy as we can to power the barrier", Ying Chao spoke inside the city wall.


    An illusory diagram was floating in the middle of the Yellow stone city. All the tribtion realm human cultivators had gathered around it and pouring their essence energy into the illusory diagram.


    The barrier around the Yellow stone city wildly flickered as the devils kept raining attacks like maddened animals. The faces of the human cultivators were pale but they kept pouring their essence energy without hesitation.


    The stalemate continued untill a frightening aura swept towards the city wall. "Why are you taking so much time, you scums?", a cold voice came from the distance. Screech of a monster was heard asdy Scarlet moon came riding the twin headed gigantic beast.


    --------------


    "Young master Chen", Zi Ningxi called out happily after Zhan Chen returned to her personalpartment. She was practicing her cultivation technique when Zhan Chen entered inside.


    "Princess, it is hard to hold back at this moment. I want to know whether you are willing to offer some help?", Zhan Chen asked. There was burning desire in his eyes as she looked towards Zi Ningxi.


    "Young master, what happened with aunt? Did she do something to you?", Zi Ningxi asked with an incredulous expression on her face. She couldn''t understand why Zhan Chen had such a look after returning from her aunt''s ce.


    "Princess, It is nice to talk with your aunt. But the only problem is that she is a very charming woman. It is an absolute truth and even you can''t deny that", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Yes, she is beautiful", Zi Ningxi nodded her head quickly. Even she would admire her sometime for the womenly charm her aunt possess.


    "But young master, I don''t understand. What exactly happened after you entered herpartment?", Zi Ningxi felt confused.


    "Princess, you see. I have got some sess this time. She didn''t resist my little advances and I am quite satisfied. Yet, doing too little means I have too much of paint up energy. So, I want ask if you can help me out a little", Zhan Chen spoke. Zi Ningxi felt a bolt of understanding struck her head when she looked towards the pant of Zhan Chen.


    "Young master Chen, it is my duty to help you but I am really surprised that you are able to court my aunt", Zi Ningxi spoke shyly. A hint of expectation rose in her heart as she looked at the burning eyes of Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, soon I will be able to get your aunt. I promise she will never leave you because I want both of you to stay together", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled Zi Ningxi upward and pressed his lips on her red lips. Zi Ningxi tried to reciprocate and both of them got to share a passionate kiss with eachother.


    "Young master, take off your pant", Zi Ningxi spoke shyly after kneeling down on her own. Zhan Chen felt a hint of excitement rising in his heart after he saw how weing Zi Ningxi had be. She quickly removed his pant and exposed his dragon infront of Zi Ningxi.


    "It looks bigger somehow'', Zi Ningxi thought with a blush on her face. "Young master Chen, remove your robe as well", Zi Ningxi spoke with an expectant gaze.


    "Princess, do you want to see mepletely naked?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile. Zi Ningxi felt shy but nodded her head. She didn''t know why but she liked Zhan Chen''s naked body the most.


    "As you wish, princess", Zhan Chen spoke. He removed his robe and presented his lean and tall body infront of Zi Ningxi. ''Ah! How perfect'', Zi Ningxi felt a stirring in her little sister after seeing Zhan Chen.


    She grabbed Zhan Chen''s dragon and stroked it gently. Her heart skipped in delight as shre saw the look of enjoyment on Zhan Chen''s face. ''Young master, I will make you feel good this time'', she vowed to herself as she stroked the dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, please use your mouth", Zhan Chen spoke with a raspy voice. His breathing the slightly ragged as he looked towards Zi Ningxi.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Slurp! Slurp!.....", Zi Ningxi was very caring and a fast learner. She used her little mouth to good effect as she pleased Zhan Chen. Her yful tongue would tickle the forehead of Zhan Chen''s dragon time to time and it brought a great joy to Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, can I be little tougher?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Mmm~", Zi Ningxi nodded her head immediately. There was gushing love in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen held her hair gently and applied a little amount of force. His dragon reached little deeper into her throat as he closed his eyes in delight.


    "So, young master. You want me to do this?", she asked after seeing Zhan Chen''s reaction. Zhan Chen nodded his head and she freed herself from his hands. She pushed her mouth deeper on her own and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, just like that. You are doing great", Zhan Chenplimented. For some reason, he felt that he could only be gentle with Zi Ningxi.


    She was a pure and delicate girl. Moreover, her demeanor was also gentle and pure. Zhan Chen could sense what a girl liked at this stage. Few wanted it rough! Few wanted to do experiments. Few were satisfied by a little cuddling and kisses and yet few could only be satisfied with a longer contact.


    A girl like Zi Ningxi would only yearn for love and affection. She was doing whatever she could only because she wanted to see Zhan Chen satisfied.


    Zhan Chen let her do what she pleased and decided to rx himself. "Princess, shall I lie down?", he asked Zi Ningxi.


    "Young master Chen, please. You can take a rest while I take care of you", Zi Ningxi replied.


    It was a rxing experience for Zhan Chen as he enjoyed the care of Zi Ningxi. She served him with skill and intent and finally Zhan Chen reached his peak.


    "Princess, I am about to release my yang essence. Please swallow itpletely. I will teach you a technique so that you can benefit from my essence", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He stood up and pulled Zi Ningxi towards him. Zi Ningxi understood what he wanted. So, she took his dragon inside her mouth. Zhan Chen held her hair and moved his waist for few times. His dragon swelled up and he finally released a huge amount of yang essence inside Zi Ningxi ''s mouth.


    "Princess, I am taking my leave", Zhan Chen spoke after teaching her the Yin nourishment technique. "Young master Chen, we need to be ready for master''s call", Zi Ningxi spoke. She had a content expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, I know. You can find me in your aunt''spartment if something urgent crops up", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What is Ningxi doing?", Zi Nuan asked when she saw Zhan Chen entering herpartment.


    "She is cultivating", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Shall we start?", he looked towards the charming beauty with an expectant gaze in his eyes.


    "Scroundel! When are you nning to stop?", Zi Nuan asked with an exasperated expression on her face. Inwardly she felt a little hot all over her body when she saw the look in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Why should i think about that. I will continue untill you tell me to stop", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled Zi Nuan with his hand and shared a passionate kiss with her. Both of them had burning emotion in their eyes as they looked towards eachother.


    "Princess, I have a suggestion. I am struggling to stop myself when I am in charge. So, I am offering you to take a ride with me. I promise, I will be the best horse for you in the entire world", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Shameless", Zi Nuan blushed. "Your words are too much but we can try if you want", she replied.

 Chapter 387 Changes In The Yellow Stone City (3)

    "This feeling! What should I do to handle this?", Shui Liying murmured to herself with Misty eyes. Waves after waves of strange feeling ran across her body as she watched the great disy of love between Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan.


    "Is he a bull?", she murmured with a blush on her face. She wanted to shift her attention from the beginning but for some strange reason, she felt an strong urge to watch Zhan Chen in action.


    Zhan Chen''s every move was fierce and passionate as he kept thrusting his dragon inside Zi Nuan ''s cave. He was holding Zi Nuan by her thighs and kept ramming her with his dragon.


    ''How shameless of me! I have never known that I will perform such a lowly action. Two juniors are making love yet I am watching them since both of them started. I want to stop but it is probably imposible'', Shui Liying thought to herself. Her hand automatically went towards herher region as she closed her eyes with an enjoying expression on her face.


    She was already sitting on a wet puddle but she had yet to notice this. She kept watching Zhan Chen and Zi Nuan and rubbed herher region with her inexperienced hands.


    The amount of pleasure washing over her body gradually intensified as she felt an urge to release something. She did her best to resist that feeling yet her attempt was futile. She felt like a gate had unlocked as a great amount of water gushed out from herher region. She was still wearing her clothes. So, the fragrant water drenched her lower regionpletely before escaping the confine of her garments.


    "What should I do? I think I would die if I couldn''t fight this feeling", she thought to herself. She was lost in her reverie when amunication tailsman came flying towards her cave.


    "Hmm! Amunication tailsman", Shui Liying murmured to herself. He sent her essence energy and dragged themunication tailsman from the outside of her cave.


    "Senior Liying, please return as soon as possible. The situation here is dire and senior Deming is busy fighting. Senior Jia (peak master of the Earth peak) was gravely injured after fighting the enemy emperor. We need your help to watch over senior Jia and senior Tao. Please ask Zhan Chen to hurry up as well. Senior Tao need that pill to survive", a voice came from the tailsman after Shui Liying injected her essence energy inside it. She immediately recognised the voice. It was Ying Chao who had sent the message from the Yellow stone city.


    "Even Jia Wei has fallen! What happened actually?", Shui Liying muttered to herself with abject shock and disbelief in her eyes. Jia Wei, the peak master of the Earth peak was known for his solid defence. He could conjure Xuantian heavenly armour with his essence energy. So, Shui Liying could not understand, how Jia Wei had fallen.


    "No matter what, we need to hurry up. I need to stop that bull as well. The sect''s matter is of paramount importance", Shui Liying rose up from her sitting position with a determined expression on her face. She changed her clothes quickly and vanished from her personal cave.


    "Pah! Squeech"


    "Pah! Squeech", some vulgar sounds were echoing in the personalpartment of Zi Nuan as Zhan Chen hammed her fiercely. Zi Nuan was kneeling on her fours while Zhan Chen was pounding her from back.


    His thrusts were incessant as Zi Nuan kept moaning sweetly. Her cave was already watery. So, the dragon''s motion of in and out was producing a vulgar sound in herpartment. The sound of flesh colliding as well as the sweet moans Zi Nuan was like a heavenly melody for Zhan Chen. He kept thrusting with more passion while holding the twin half moons of Zi Nuan.


    ''Hmm! What is the deal with this beauty? Is she done peeking?", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He noticed immediately when Shui Liying withdrew her soul consciousness.


    Shui Liying appeared infront of Zi Ningxi ''s cave after thepse of few moments. Zhan Chen detected her as soon as he appeared but he was least bothered. He kept hammering Zi Nuan with a look of intoxication on his face.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Zhan Chen, stop already. We need to talk", a voice suddenly echoed in the personalpartment of Zi Nuan. Shui Liying was using her essence energy. So, the sound pierced the restriction inside and entered into Zi Nuan ''spartment.


    "Oh no! It is the voice of the peak master", Zi Nuan felt like a lightning struck her head. She immediately separated herself and looked towards Zhan Chen with a panicked expression on her face.


    Contrary to her panicked expression, Zhan Chen Chen had a unsatisfied expression on his face. His eyes were still burning with lust as he looked towards Zi Nuan.


    "Zhan Chen", this time the voice of Shui Liying came once again. She was slightly displeased because Zhan Chen was not responding to her calls.


    "Princess, I will be back. It is not enough even if I get a year or two with you", Zhan Chen spoke. He put on his clothes nonchntly and walked out from Zi Ningxi ''s cave.


    "Senior Liying, what is the matter?", he looked calmly towards Shui Liying. He didn''t even bother to bow down to pay his respect.


    "Shameless pervert. Are you disrespecting me purposefully?", Shui Liying looked towards Zhan Chen with a livid expression on her face. She couldn''t understand why she was feeling so much anger just because Zhan Chen didn''t bowed to her.


    "Senior, don''t be angry. I have forgot to react properly after seeing you. You see, I am in the midst of an important work and you disturbed me", Zhan Chen responded.


    "Important work?", Shui Liying didn''t know what to say anymore. She was in awe of Zhan Chen''s shamelessness.


    "Senior, please ept this apology from me if it is what needed to pacify you. I promise I will be more respectful if you ept my condition", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "We can talk about thatter", Shui Liying blushed slightly. Al of her anger vanished like a puff of smoke after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Zhan Chen, please be serious. I have an important news to share with you", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Senior, I am always serious. Please tell what news it is", Zhan Chen replied.


    "I have received a message that junior brother Jia is gravely injured. Senior brother Deming is busy fighting with a devil emperor. The situation there is very dire. You need to be quick and bring that Five harmony soul resurgence pill to heal junior brother Tao. You can tell me whatever you need from the sect", Shui Liying spoke.

 Chapter 388 Visiting The Treasure Hall Again

    Zhan Chen listened intently as Shui Liying ryed the urgent news about the dire situation at the Yellow Stone City. He absorbed the information, his expression growing more serious with each passing moment.


    "I understand the gravity of the situation. I have already checked the list of spirit herbs that the sect possesses. The only thing left for me to investigate is the treasure hall," Zhan Chen replied. He had a calm expression on his face as she looked towards Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying nodded her head after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. "Very well. I will order Elder Yu to provide you with whatever spirit herbs you require. Time is of the essence, so let''s hurry to the treasure hall."


    Zhan Chen acknowledged her words with a nod. "Senior Liying, don''t worry. I will get the Five harmony soul resurgence pill as soon as possible. I will not waste a moment. Once I have gathered the Five harmony soul resurgence pill, I will make my way to the Yellow Stone City."


    Shui Liying''s lips curved into a small smile. "I want to beleive you once. Let''s see if you can finish this task quickly or not. If you are sessful, you can demand a huge reward from our sect."


    "Senior Liying, I only want one reward. You know it. Please grant my wish after the situation in the Yellow stone city is stabilized", Zhan Chen spoke. He threw a purposeful look towards Shui Liying''s enchanting body. So that, she could understand his intention.


    "You~", Shui Liying blushed slightly after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. For some reason she felt exhration in her heart after listening to Zhan Chen''s words.


    "We can talk about thatter. I promise, the sect will not disappoint you if you are able to bring the Five harmony soul resurgence pill for Hu Tao", Shui Liying spoke. She felt shy for a moment as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior Liying, shall we go?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile on his face. He was happy that a beauty like Shui Liying had fallen for his soul seed technique.


    "Let''s go. We need to hurry up. Once you enter the third floor of the treasure hall, I will leave for the Yellow stone city", Shui Liying replied. She waved her hand and brought Zhan Chen together with her towards the treasure hall.


    The majestic treasure hall stood at the heart of a verdant valley, its towering structure radiating an aura of power and ancient wisdom. As Shui Liying and Zhan Chen approached, the guards stationed at the entrance immediately dropped to their knees, their heads bowed in reverence.


    Shui Liying''s presencemanded respect and admiration from the disciples, and they willingly stepped aside to let her pass. Zhan Chen followed closely behind her, unbothered by the emperor aura and magnificence she was exuding.


    Inside the treasure hall, they were greeted by Liu Hua, the elder in charge of its vast collection of artifacts and treasures. Liu Hua''s eyes widened with surprise as she saw Zhan Chen apanying Shui Liying. Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing the surprise on her face.


    "Senior Liying, it''s a surprise to see you here. How may I assist you?" Liu Hua asked after bowing towards Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying nced at Zhan Chen and then turned her attention back to Liu Hua. "We are here to visit the third floor. I need few things from there which is important for the task at hand."


    "Senior Liying, excuse me. I don''t have authority to open the third floor. My master is in seclusion. So, it is impossible to open the third floor unless you convince the three ancient guardian elders", Liu Hua spoke. She took a furtive nce towards Zhan Chen before looking towards Shui Liying.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "It has been a while since Ist see your master. It would be easy if your master is present. But I still have a way. The matter is so important that three guardian elders have to open the path", Shui Liying spoke.


    Liu Hua volunteered to show the path and both Zhan Chen and Shui Liying followed behind her. Together, they made their way towards the third floor after passing the restriction that led to the second floor. They walked through second floor and finally found a massive barrier that guarded the entrance to the third floor. Liu Hua halted, her expression apologetic. "Senior Liying, I do not have the authority to go any further", she informed.


    Shui Liying raised her hand, reassuring Liu Hua. "Rest assured. I have my own means of essing the third floor", she spoke with a calm expression on her face. She retrieved a golden token from her spatial ring and sent it flying towards the barrier.


    The token shimmered with a radiant light as it made contact with the barrier, causing it to ripple and part, granting them passage. The barrier recognized the authority embedded within the token and yielded to its power.


    With the barrier now opened, Shui Liying stepped forward. Zhan Chen and Liu Hua followed closely behind her. It was the first time for Liu Hua to see the fabled third floor. She had yet to see the third floor despite her long years of association with the treasure hall. Zhan Chen also felt curious as he saw the narrow path ahead.


    Beyond the small pathway, there was only a vast chamber. There was no grandeur in it as the only thing remained there was an empty hall.


    "An empty hall!", Liu Hua murmured with an incredulous expression on her face. She had always heard the legends about the third floor since her days as an ordinary disciple. There was legends that how it stored treasures which may cause choas if they were revealed in open.


    But the reality was different than expectation. The empty hall hit her hard as she didn''t know what to say anymore. Contrary to her expression, Zhan Chen had a look of interest on his face.


    He could see through the concealing formation which was hiding a spatial formation. The formations were built very cleverly and Zhan Chen would have missed them if he had not seen the spatial formations in the Cleansing incense ancient sect.


    ''Interesting!'', he thought to himself with gleaming eyes. Such ingenious formation technique piqued his curiousity.


    "Guardian elders, please show yourself. I, Shui Liying, the peak master of the Serene bamboo peak is requesting your presence", Shui Liying called out loudly. She held her golden token in her hand which glowed with multicoloured lights.


    There was no sound whatsoever after Shui Liying was done speaking. She waited patiently for few minutes and fluctuation came out from a corner of the hall.


    Three figures appeared all of a sudden who were sitting cross legged at the corner of the hall. Their faces appeared peaceful and serene as they seemed to be one with environment at this moment.


    "Girl, I need a good reason. I want to know why a rich peak master like you wants to visit the treasure hall. You must be aware that Bing Yue is absent at this moment. Still you are here, Willing to disturb our seclusion. I want to know, what is your purpose? Is it necessary to disturb us?", one of figure who was sitting at the extreme left asked. Other two figures also opened their eyes and looked towards Shui Liying calmly.

 Chapter 389 Third Floor

    "Ancestors, I can exin," Shui Liying spoke, her voice respectful yet firm. She stepped forward, her eyes meeting the gaze of each guardian elder in turn. "The situation in the Earth province is dire. Our sect is facing a grave threat from the devil forces. Two peak masters are gravely injured, and Senior brother Deming is engaged in a fierce battle with a devil emperor. We need to obtain the Five Harmony Soul Resurgence Pill to save martial brother Hu Tao''s life."


    The three guardian elders exchanged nces, a concerned expression appeared on each of their faces. They listened attentively as Shui Liying provided a brief ount of the events unfolding at the Yellow Stone City and the urgency of their mission.


    After Shui Liying finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, as the guardian elders deliberated amongst themselves. Finally, the elder who had initially spoken, the one sitting at the extreme left, spoke again.


    "Girl, we understand the gravity of the situation. The protection and preservation of the Xuantian sect is of paramount importance than the treasures stored in the secret chamber" the elder spoke, his voice resonating with wisdom and authority. "But you need to pick carefully. We will take note of whatever treasures you are taking. Bing Yue will decide whether to charge contribution points or not."


    Shui Liying nodded her head and bowed down to show her gratitude. "Ancestors, thank you for your understanding. Please give ess to these two juniors. They will pick the treasures needed for the Five harmony soul resurgence pill. As for me, I have to excuse myself. Martial brother Jia Wei is gravely injured. I need to tend to his injury."


    "Fine, you can leave. we will open the spatial entrance for these two juniors", an elder spoke. Shui Liying bowed once again towards the three guardian elders before looking towards Zhan Chen. "Senior, we can talkter. I promise I will hurry over to the Yellow stone city as soon as possible", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Be quick. Bring the Five harmony soul resurgence pill as soon as possible", Shui Liying replied. She was feeling slightly to reluctant to leave the side of Zhan Chen but she knew what was more important. She took a brief nce at Zhan Chen before walking out of the Large hall.


    "Shall we start?", a guardian elder asked his twopanions. Other two nodded their heads and all three of them rose from their seated positions. A mighty, suffocating aura came out of their bodies as they floated in the mid air. Together, they approached a specific spot in the empty hall where intricate patterns etched into the floor.


    The guardian elders began to perform a series of mysterious hand gestures, their movements graceful and synchronized. All of them channeled their essence energy towards the spot and an enormous formation hidden within the hall appeared infront of both Zhan Chen and Liu Hua.


    Multicoloured brilliant light erupted and a concealed passage materialized before Zhan Chen and Liu Hua. "Remember, you only have one hour to leave the secret chamber. If you don''t leave by then, you might be stuck forever", a guardian elder warned. Zhan Chen and Liu Hua bowed towards the guardian elders before walking towards the spatial passage. There was curiousity in both of their eyes as they entered the spatial passage.


    Colourful lights dotted the wall of the spatial passages as Zhan Chen and Liu Hua walked across it. "It is a very stable spatial tunnel", Zhan Chen eximed with a hint of surprise in his eyes.


    He had already seen a lot of teleportation formations but it was his first time to see such a stable spatial tunnel between two locations. Considering difficulty level, opening a stable spatial tunnel was more difficult than setting up a teleportation formation.


    ''Xuantian sect is really a marvellous sect. First, the ancestoral projections in the testing ground and now a stable spatial tunnel in the treasure hall, this sect of mine is really full of wonders'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He looked towards Liu Hua and a smile appeared on his face after seeing herpletely fascinated expression. She was lost amidst the mysterious beauty of the spatial tunnel.


    The spatial tunnel was not a long one. Zhan Chen and Liu Hua approached the end of the spatial tunnel after walking for few minutes. At the end of the tunnel, there was arge cave.


    The cave looked ancient as one could see the rugged stones at the wall and the roof of the cave. Time had left an impact on the surface of the stones and from it, one could easily imagine how ancient the secret treasure chamber of the Xuantian sect was.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Zhan Chen, which treasures do you want?", Liu Hua asked. There was a look of curiousity on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    The legends appeared true to her as soon as she stepped out of the spatial passage. There were myriads of powerful and unique treasures which spread across therge cave uniformly.


    The treasures were ced on perfectly carved stone shelves. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and his eyes lit up immediately.


    "I will pick few treasures of five elements but my priority will be treasures which have extreme yang property. I don''t want to miss the extreme yin treasures either. Those treasures are extremely beneficial for Kai Min", Zhan Chen replied.


    There were weapons, armours, precious stones, formation materials and all sorts of elemental treasures. Few treasures were so unique that Liu Hua could not peel her eyes from them.


    Among the myriad of treasures, what attracted Liu Hua the most was a sparkling blue battle robe. The battle robe was sky grade and extremely beautiful to look. There were some leaf like patterns on the battle robe which made the battle robe more attractive.


    "Do you like it?", Zhan Chen asked softly from her side. "Yes, it is the famous Jade princess robe. There are only seven such treasures existed in the Centralnd. Together with other six pieces, they made a heaven grade set", Liu Hua spoke. There were admiration and desire in her eyes as she looked towards the battle robe.


    "What is the point in watching it? If you want it, then I can gift it to you right away", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No, forget about it. We don''t have enough contribution points to take such a treasure. Focus on the essential treasures first. Who know, what the guardian elders will think if we take such irrevalent treasures", Liu Hua replied. She stopped looking at the battle robe and tried to lead Zhan Chen towards a different direction.


    ''How silly! Who would wait for another opportunity to grab a puny sky grade treasure'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He swept his hand and stored the sparkling blue battle robe in his spatial ring.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t. How can you be so stupid? We need to collect the necessary treasures first", Liu Hua protested.


    Zhan Chen pulled her by her waist and nted an agressive kiss on her cherry red lips. Liu Hua''s mind went nk as she saw the burning emotion in Zhan Chen''s eyes. There was desire and possessiveness in his eyes as he looked towards her.


    "Liu Hua, what kind of man I am if I can''t fulfill such a small desire of yours? Let me give you my first gift today. Okay?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua. Liu Hua felt slightly shy and sweet in her heart as her eyes met with Zhan Chen''s.


    "Okay, I will take the Jade princess robe", she replied with a slightly emotional voice.

 Chapter 390 Concocting A Seventh Grade Pill

    ''Luminiscent me stone''


    ''Aqua stone from western seas''


    ''Earthroot crystal''


    ''Galewind feather''


    ''Heart of purewood Oak tree'', Zhan Chen gathered treasures representing all five heavenly elements.He spread his soul consciousness and looked for the treasures with yang property after gathering the treasures of five elements.


    ''Radiant sunstone! Crimson dragon scale! It was slightly unbelievable to think that I would get such valuable treasures easily'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. There was a slightly excited look on his face as he took away all the twelve radiant sunstones and therge piece of Crimson dragon scale.


    ''Well, I have acheived my goals. Let''s look for some yin treasures before leaving this secret cave'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. Liu Hua was apanying him silently as she took note of each and every treasures stored inside the secret cave.


    ''Yinwater crystal''


    ''Lunar essence pearl''


    ''Yinbound frost flower''


    ''Starlit fountain water'', Zhan Chen was slightly surprised after seeing all kinds of pure yin treasures. Compared to yang treasures, yin treasures were plenty in the hidden cave of the Xuantian sect. Zhan Chen didn''t act politely after discovering all the treasures. He removed a significant portion of pure yin treasures before looking towards Liu Hua.


    Do you want any other treasures?", he asked her gently. Liu Hua shook her head with a smile on her face.


    "We have already taken more than enough. These treasures are the lifetime collection of our Xuantian sect. We should act responsibly after getting such a rare chance", Liu Hua spoke. She was not a greedy woman as she spoke with responsibility and care towards the Xuantian sect.


    "Okay, let''s not take anymore treasures", Zhan Chen nodded his head. He had already collected pure yang treasures and pure yin treasures. Other treasures were great but they couldn''t help him increase his cultivation. He decided to leave the secret cave and walked towards the spatial passage. His hand was wrapped around the waist of Liu Hua as he entered the spatial passage.


    One of the guardian elders checked the content of the spatial ring which Zhan Chen was carrying. "So many treasures with pure yang and pure yin attributes! Is it necessary to take this much?", the elder looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Ancestor, it is indeed a necessity. As you know, it is a standard practice to offer an alchemist three portions of raw materials to concoct a pill. We do not know what that expert holding the Five harmony soul resurgence pill would demand. So, I am taking the yang trasures and yin treasures with me. I have heard that he is collecting such treasures since hundred years or two hundred years back", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a look of confidence on his face as he looked towards the guardian elder.


    "Brother Ming, let them go. We will discuss about the cost once Bing Yuees back", another guardian elder spoke. Zhan Chen and Liu Hua bowed towards the three guardian elders before leaving the third floor. Liu Hua exhaled slowly after escaping the barrier between the third floor and the second floor.


    "I was really nervous. To think that, such ancient experts are guarding the treasure hall....", Liu Huamented. She was finally feeling slightly rxed after leaving the third floor.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "It is only natural. Spiritual treasures are the backbone of a sect. Together with medicinal pills, they build the core of a sect. So, it is expected that there will be enough security. The Xuantian sect is one among the most formidable powers of the Northern desert continent. So, we shouldn''t be surprised after seeing few of their half step sages in the third floor", Zhan Chen spoke. He was not at all surprised after seeing the three guardian elders in the third floor of the treasure hall.


    "What? Half step sages!", Liu Hua gulped in surprise. Such experts were figures of legends for her. She was a Heavenly tribtion realm expert herself but she knew what was the gap between the tribtion realm and the emperor realm. As for the sage realm, that was only a dream for her at this moment.


    "Don''t be so surprised. Your man will surpass all of these experts one day. Even you will be a sage eventually as none of my women will stay a weakling for their entire life", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Hua felt dazed for a moment after seeing the heroic expression on Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen seemed like bbering nonsence but for some reason, Liu Hua felt that he was speaking the truth. There was a beleif in her heart that her man could acheive anything.


    "Zhan Chen, can I apany you wherever you are going?", she asked Zhan Chen after few moments. She was dutybound to stay in the treasure hall but she felt an strong urge to apany Zhan Chen for a while.


    "Beauty, how can I deny your request? You are wee to follow me as long as you wish", Zhan Chen spoke. He felt a strong urge in his heart after seeing the desire and longing in Liu Hua''s eyes.


    Liu Hua assigned the treasure hall to her subordinates and left with Zhan Chen. She wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s hand after they left the treasure hall..


    "Are you not afraid that disciples will see?", Zhan Chen asked. He was slightly amused and surprised after seeing the boldness of Liu Hua today.


    "I don''t care anymore. I have decided to speak with my master after she gets back", Liu Hua spoke. She wrapped her hand more tightly after finishing her words. Zhan Chen could feel her longing and deep emotion for him as she strongly wrapped her hand around his hands.


    "Is a gift capable of such miracle? A strong and collected woman like her actually feels this much about me?", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He rushed towards his cave as Liu Huatched to his arm.


    "Zhan Chen, are not you going to bring the Five harmony soul resurgence pill?", Liu Hua asked softly. She was not a fool by any means. So, she easily guessed what Zhan Chen was upto after seeing his heated gaze.


    "There is no point in lying to you. Actually, I am not going to collect the Five harmony soul resurgence pill from anyone", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then, what are you upto?", Liu His eximed. A worried expression appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She knew how important the pill was for the Xuantian sect. If Zhan Chen messed up, it would imply the death of peak master of the Martial peak. That would be a disaster for the Xuantian sect.


    "Beauty, you will not believe me. But let me state this once. I will concoct the Five harmony soul resurgence pill myself", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Are you serious?", Liu Hua asked. No matter how much she wanted to beleive Zhan Chen, it was unthinkable for her to assume that an eighteen year old boy could concoct an ancient seventh grade pill.


    Concocting a seventh grade pill was no joke. Such a feat was impossible for most of the sects in the Northern desert continent. There was only valley master of the Pill valley who was able to concoct a seventh grade pill. Whoever could concoct such a pill, would be revered as an Alchemy emperor. So, it was only natural for Liu Hua to feel disbelief in her heart after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen didn''t exin her anything but straightaway led her into his personal cave.

 Chapter 391 Returning To His Cave Complex

    A shadowike creature leaped towards Zhan Chen as soon as he reached infront of his cave. Liu Hua felt rmed by the sudden developement and tried to strike the creature. But the creature was fast who easily avoided her essence energy attack and leapt towards Zhan Chen. What happened next was beyond Liu Hua''s understanding.


    The fast and fierce creature actually started to rub it''s head on Zhan Chen''s chest. "Zhan Chen, are you familiar with it?", Liu Hua asked with a look of surprise on her face.


    "Yes, she is very fond of me. I have found her while traveling to the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The shadow panther threw a warning nce towards Liu Hua before rubbing her head on Zhan Chen''s chest again. Liu Hua felt speechless after seeing the shadow panther''s human like behaviour.


    Zhan Chen rubbed the head of the shadow panther before sending it away. He invited Liu Hua into the main hall of his caveplex.


    He spread his soul consciousness and checked on Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min. Kai Min and Li Yan were cultivating diligently but Li Shu was lying on her bedzily. There was a thoughtful expression on her face as she looked towards the ceiling of the cave.


    "What are you thinking?", she heard a voice inside her mind. A look of disbelief appeared on her face as she sat up on her stone bed.


    "Young master Chen!", she muttered with a surprised expression on her face. she left her personal cave quickly and walked into the main hall. A beautiful smile appeared on her face as soon as she saw Zhan Chen.


    "Young master Chen", she walked towards Zhan Chen with a look of excitement on her face. Zhan Chen pulled her into his arms after she got closer. She introduced Liu Hua to her and she bowed towards Liu Hua to show some respect.


    "Little sister Shu, no need for such formalities. If you don''t consider me too old, you can call me elder sister", Liu Hua spoke.


    "Elder sister Hua, thank you. It is nice to find a beautiful elder sister like you", Li Shu replied. Unlike few other women of Zhan Chen, she was not at all bothered by all the women that Zhan Chen brought with him.


    "Young master, I am worried about you. It is good that you have returned safely", Li Shu spoke. It was hard for her to concentrate whe Zhan Chen was away.


    "Silly girl, why are you overthinking? It would take the full force of an emperor to injure me seriously", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, when will you concoct the seventh grade pill?", Liu Hua asked. She was still worried about the Five harmony soul resurgence pill that Zhan Chen had promised to concoct by himself.


    "I will start after visiting the Serene Bamboo peak. I need to collect few ingredients from there before starting the pill concoction", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Both of you can have a conversation while I visit the Serene Bamboo peak. I will return quickly after talking with elder Yu", Zhan Chen spoke.


    ----------------


    "Young master Chen", Zi Ningxi called out happily when Zhan Chen visited her cave. She had a radiant expression on her face because of the progression in her cultivation level.


    "Princess, you need more of my yang essence. You can jump to second stage of Core Condensation realm if you ept my yang essence once again", Zhan Chen spoke. He had a meaningful expression on his face as he looked towards Zi Ningxi.


    "Young master Chen, we can do it if you want. But before that we need to see grandma Yu. She was asking about you while you are absent", Zi Ningxi replied. There was a little blush on her face as she talked about getting intimate with Zhan Chen.


    "Very well, let us focus on the matters of the sect. I wille to see you once I give the Five harmony soul resurgence pill to your master", Zhan Chen spoke. He walked along with Zi Ningxi as she led him to elder Yu''s cave.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Elder Yu was residing in a beautiful cave at the middle of the Serene bamboo peak. Her disciples informed her immediately after Zi Ningxi brought Zhan Chen along with her.


    "Junior sister Ningxi, master is waiting for you. You can bring junior brother Chen into master''s cave", a middle aged woman spoke. Her cultivation was already at peak Martial ascension realm but she seemed to be struck at the peak Martial ascension realm for a long time.


    "Elder sister Qiao, thank you for informing grandma Yu. I will visit youter after finishing the task at hand", Zi Ningxi spoke. She led Zhan Chen into arge cave where elder Yu reside.


    Elder Yu was a very old woman. A serene expression was adorning her aged face. A soft smile appeared on her face when she saw Zi Ningxi and Zhan Chen.


    "Grandma Yu", Zi Ningxi called out happily after seeing elder Yu. She bowed slightly and left Zhan Chen towards the elderly woman.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed respectfully. A smile appeared on the aged elder''s face after Zhan Chen bowed towards her.


    "Little one, no need to act so formal. Tell me which spirit herbs you need to bring that Five harmony soul resurgence pill?", elder Yu asked.


    "Senior, I need three stalks of Azure lotus, three stalks of Elysian skybloom and three portions of Sliver mist thistle. Beside that, I need a fruit from the Empyrian Jade vine", Zhan Chen spoke. He was neither too demanding neither too lenient as he requested spirit herbs from the collection of the Xuantian sect.


    "Sixth grade spirit herbs are not a problem but a fruit from the Empyrian Jade vine is too valuable. I need permission from the Ancestoral peak to provide you with that", elder Yu spoke.


    "Senior, time is of essence. I will try to negotiate for the Five harmony soul resurgence pill without the fruit from the Empyrian Jade vine", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Can you wait a little? I will visit the Ancestoral peak personally", elder Yu asked. There was a tense expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, please hurry up. If the Ancestoral peak is denying the fruit from the Empyrian Jade vine, we have to proceed without it. Please send all the other spirit herbs to my personal cave", Zhan Chen spoke. He bade farewell to both Zi Ningxi and elder Yu before leaving the Serene bamboo peak.


    He rushed into his personal cave and found both Liu Hua and Li Shu talking with eachother happily. He felt slightly surprised to find out that Liu Hua also had a little interest in weaponsmithing.


    "Have you got the ingredients that you need?", Liu Hua asked.


    "Yes, I have informed elder Yu about my requirement. She will send the ingredients here", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Now that we have time, we should do something to rx us a little. Both of you will get to know eachother better and I will find some motivation to concoct a seventh grade pill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Together?", Liu Hua blushed heavily. She understood what Zhan Chen exactly meant. He wanted to get intimate with both her and Li Shu at the same time.


    "Miss Hua, you can deny if you want but I want you to stay. Beleive me, it will be fun together. Both of you canplment eachother and it will be more enjoyable ", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 392 A Visitor

    Liu Hua didn''t know what to say anymore after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She felt extremely shy after thinking about doing it together with a junior.


    "Miss Hua, you can join us when you arefortable. For now, let me do it with Li Shu first", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Liu Hua nodded her head shyly in return. Her heartbeat was slightly erratic after she thought about witnessing such a shameless thing between Zhan Chen and another woman.


    "Li Shu, shall we begin?", Zhan Chen asked. He knew Li Shu had no such reservation infront of another woman.


    "Young master Chen, let me serve you first. We can begin after you feel satisfied", Li Shu spoke. She didn''t wait for Zhan Chen to reply and knelt down immediately infront of Zhan Chen after finishing her sentence.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have to do anything as she pulled down his pant. A fierce dragon was uncaged as soon as LinShu pulled down Zhan Chen''s pant.


    Li Shu held the violent dragon with her hand and started to stroke it. Her stroking was skillful as she used both of her hands to please Zhan Chen.


    A look of enjoyment appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as he enjoyed Li Shu ''s care. He didn''t interrupt her as she pleased him with her hands. Li Shu brought down her mouth few minutester. Her soft lips engulfed Zhan Chen''s shaft and Zhan Chen let out an involuntary moan. He didn''t know when Li Shu became so skillful. From an ignorant girl, she was slowly developing into a skillful temptress.


    Li Shu pulled back her mouth after putting some saliva on Zhan Chen''s shaft. She struck her tongue out and started to lick Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her tongue movement was extremely skillful as she touched every corner of Zhan Chen''s dragon with her tongue. Finally, she started to lick Zhan Chen''s family jewels. Zhan Chen inhaled in pleasure when she pulled his family jewels into her mouth.


    "Young master Chen, you can move now. You can use my mouth however you please", Li Shu spoke. She handed over the reign to Zhan Chen after sessfully tempting him.


    "Li Shu, you can''t expect leniency from me now. I really want to ravage you at this very moment", Zhan Chen spoke. There was overflowing desire in his eyes as he looked towards Li Shu.


    "Young master Chen, please don''t hold back. I am willing to aodate you however you please", Li Shu spoke. She was softly rubbing Zhan Chen''s dragon while talking with him.


    "In that case, let''s begin", Zhan Chen growled. He pushed his dragon inside Li Shu ''s mouth and held her hair with his hand. Liu Hua watched with a surprised expression as Zhan Chen moved his waist passionately. She had never seen Zhan Chen so dominnering during her time with him. For some reason, she found Zhan Chen more attractive and dominnering in his unfettered form.


    "Gluk! gluk! Gluk", Li Shu choked on her saliva as Zhan Chen shoved his entire dragon inside her throat. He held her head with both of his hands and moved his waist. Such intense action continued for few minutes before Zhan Chen willing to stop. He removed his dragon from Li Shu ''s throat and looked towards Liu Hua.


    "Miss Hua, are you willing to join?", he asked Liu Hua. There was a hint of expectation in his eyes as he looked towards her. Liu Hua felt hot all over her body when she looked at the throbbing dragon of Zhan Chen. The dragon wasrge and beautiful and it was looking more tempting with saliva dripping from its body. There was slight resistance in her heart initially but her resistance faded away after she noticed the hint of expectation in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "I have already epted you as my man. So, there is nothing I can''t do for you at this point", Liu Hua spoke. She strode forward and knelt beside Li Shu. She opened her mouth and took the dragon of Zhan Chen inside her mouth.


    Zhan Chen gave her ample time to adjust. She was acting brave but Zhan Chen knew how gentle and soft she actually was inside. He moved his waist slowly and Liu Hua moved her mouth in tandem.


    Liu Hua could see how gentle was Zhan Chen with her. She became emotional all of a sudden as her eyes became misty.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from her mouth and supported her to stand. He pulled her into his embrace and nted his lips on her lips. Li Shu didn''t disturb them as both Zhan Chen and Liu Hua shared a passionate kiss. Her emotions also stirred up after she saw the bonding between Liu Hua and Zhan Chen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''I have never imagined elder sister Hua would be such an emotional girl. I thought I used to be the most insecure girl around young master Chen but her insecurity exceeds me'', Li Shu thought to herself. She distanced herself slightly and gave space to Zhan Chen and Liu Hua.


    ------------------


    The middle aged disciple of elder Yu came to deliver the spirit herbs when Zhan Chen was at the middle of his dual cultivation with Liu Hua and Li Shu. Liu Hua extricated herself promptly after Zhan Chen informed her about the arrival of the spirit herbs.


    "Miss Hua, it is unfair for me", Zhan Chen grumbled. His dragon was throbbing violently as he took a greedy look towards Liu Hua.


    "Zhan Chen, we can continue whenever you want but sect''s matters should be our priority. Let me witness how are you nning to concoct a grade seven pill", Liu Hua spoke. Zhan Chen was speechless after seeing how quickly she reverted from an emotional girl to her previous witch self.


    "Okay, I will take the lose this time. But I will collect the interest from both of you after delivering the Five harmony soul resurgence pill to the Yellow stone city. Prepare yourself and wait untill then", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will be waiting with little sister Shu", Liu Hua spoke charmingly. Zhan Chen got up despite his unwillingness. He put on his clothes and walked towards the entrance of his caveplex.


    The middle aged disciple of elder Yu was waiting outside. "Junior brother Zhan Chen", she immediately called out after seeing Zhan Chen.


    "Master is able to convince the experts in the Ancestoral peak. She is able to get a fruit from the Empyrian Jade vine", she informed with a smile on her face.


    "Elder sister Qiao, thank you for your hard work. I want to know whether you are willing to visit my caveter", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Junior brother, is there something I can help you with?", the middle aged woman became curious. She had a gentle personality as she became ready to help Zhan Chen as soon as she heard his words.


    "Elder sister, you see. I am a dual cultivator. I can''t stop thinking about you since I see you infront of elder Yu''s cave", Zhan Chen spoke. There was no hint of awkwardness on his face as he looked towards the middle aged woman.


    The middle aged woman strared towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous expression on her face. She had already lived for sixty years yet no one had ever talked to her like this.


    Elder sister, I will assist you in crossing the bottleneck between the Martial ascension realm and the Heavenly tribtion realm. So, will you assist meter on. I will consider myself fortunate if a beautiful elder sister like you is willing to assist me", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a certain attraction in his eyes which pulled the middle aged woman towards him.


    The middle aged woman felt like her mind was going nk. There was certain emotions in her heart which stirred up all of a sudden. She felt incredulous looking towards Zhan Chen and she was nning to reject his oundish idea but Zhan Chen Chen used the Soul seed technique at the exact moment.


    "Elder sister, don''t be in a hurry to deny me. I know your concerns. You are worried about what if someone in the sect knows about it. I know your concern and I can promise you that no one will ever know about it. I will admire your beautiful body in secret and we will spend some quality time together", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Elder sister Qiao, you can leave now. I will wait for your answer", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t wait for the middle aged woman to leave and returned to the main hall of his caveplex.


    The middle aged woman behaved like her soul was sucked out. She stood there like an idiot for few moments. An enchanting blush appeared on her face when she regained herposure. ''How absurd! What is he nning to do with an aged woman like me?'', she thought to herself. She calmed herself and flew out of Zhan Chen''s personal mountain.

 Chapter 393 Alchemy Emperor

    "Miss Hua, Li Shu, I have to bid farewell. I will concoct the seventh grade pill outside the Xuantian sect. Concocting a seventh grade pill inside the sect will attract too much attention", Zhan Chen spoke. He nted a passionate kiss on each of their lips before walking out of his caveplex. His figure blurred as he used the Cloud soaring technique for movement.


    "Hey, have you sensed something?", a guard at the entrance of the Xuantian sect asked to hispanion. Hispanion shook his head as a look of confusion appeared on his face. "Brother Hao, what is the matter?", he questioned his fellow guard.


    "I feel like someone passed amist us but it might be a fluke. Regardless, we need to maintain a close watch on the sect gate", the guard who was suspicious of someone''s movement spoke to hispanion. He didn''t know that his guess was right as Zhan Chen had passed between them just moments ago.


    Zhan Chen kept using his Cloud soaring technique and dashed towards the distance. He was moving at a constant speed and approached a dense forest after half an hour. He dashed into the dense forest without any hesitation and his figure seemed to be vanished inside the dense canopy of the forest.


    Two figures appeared outside the forest few momentster. There was a frown on one of their faces as he looked towards the dense forest infront of him. "Senior sister Jiuyue, where is that brat? Has he managed to sense us?", the tall looking young man looked towards the beautifuldy beside her.


    Compared to his disturbed expression, thedy waspletely calm and collected. "We should look inside the forest. I can''t beleive a Core condensation realm young man like him can hide from both of us", thedy spoke. She flew into the forest and her figure vanished into thin air. ''I will teach that brat a lesson if I get an opportunity'', the dashing young man thought to himself before flying into the forest. His figure faded into nothingness after he entered the forest.


    Both the beautifuldy and the dashing young man searched for half an hour yet they couldn''t find Zhan Chen. Finally, both of them flew out of the dense forest.


    "Senior sister, it looks like we lost him", the dashing young man spoke with a grim expression on his face. "Seems so. I have never thought that the newly added Core disciple will be so difficult to deal with", the beautifuldymented.


    "Let''s head back. We need to inform master about our failure. It will be a big joke in the Serpentine world if words have to spread out", the beautifuldy spoke. She didn''t waited for the reply from herpanion as she flew towards the Xuantian sect alone. The dashing young man threw a piercing re towards the dense forest before following the beautifuldy.


    ''How interesting! Xuantian sect actually have such disciples! They are talking about some Serpentine world. I need to ask senior Liying to find out'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He dashed out of the forest and moved towards a different direction.


    A rocky hill appeared infront of him after half an hour of travel. Zhan Chen decided to stop there and carved out a small cave for himself. He sat down cross legged and practiced the Celestial yinyang Sutra fora while. It took only few moments for him to reach his optimum state.


    He removed the ''Heart of purewood Oak tree'' from his spatial ring and wrapped it with his soul consciousness. The Heart of purewood Oak tree leviated infront of him as he started to refine it with his soul fire. He still had his earth grade pill furnace which he had received from the Alchemy association but he didn''t choose to use it because it couldn''t assist him in concocting a grade seclven pill. Only a heaven grade pill furnace or a top tier sky furnace could be used for concocting a seventh grade pill. Moreover, pill furnaces were notalways useful while concocting some specific pills. Five harmony soul resurgence pill was such a case where an alchemist had to use special means to concoct it.


    The heart of Purewood Oak tree liquefied slowly after receiving constant heat from the soul fire of Zhan Chen. It took half an hour for Zhan Chen topletely refine it.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He wrapped the translucent liquid with his soul consciousness and removed other four types of spirit materials representing four heavenly elements of nature. Heart of the purewood Oak tree represented wood element. Likewise, Luminescent me stone represented fire element. Aquastone from the Western seas represents water element. As for the Earthroot crystal and the Galewind feather, they represented earth element and wind element respectively.


    Zhan Chen wrapped his soul consciousness around all four spirit materials and they leviated in the air. He pulled them closer to the essence of Purewood heart tree and lit up his soul fire once again.


    Beads of sweat appeared on Zhan Chen''s soul consciousness as he continued to pour his soul energy into his soul fire. His soul fire seemed gentle but it continued to affect the four spirit elements surrounding the essence of Purewood Oak tree.


    Strands of elemental poweres from the four spirit elements and Zhan Chen continued to assimte them with the heart of Purewood Oak tree. The process was tedious but Zhan Chen continued to put in effort. His soul fire burned continuously which made him more exhausted with passing time.


    What Zhan Chen doing was a too delicate procedure. No alchemist in the Northern desert continent would beleive it unless they witnessed such a miraculous concocting technique with their own eyes. What Zhan Chen doing was the epitome of bnce and control. Even a little bit of disturbance during such procedure would ruin his entire effort. Zhan Chen didn''t have a choice in this matter. So, he chose the wilds to concoct the pill. It took almost two hours before the spirit elements started to crumble.


    Zhan Chen stopped burning his soul fire and looked towards glowing mass of energy sphere infront of him. He was wrapping the sphere with his soul consciousness. Otherwise, it would start to leak the elemental energy concentrated within it.


    "The next step is most difficult. Let''s see if I can make a resonance with the heaven and earth or not", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He closed his eyes and tried tomunicate with the heaven and earth.


    To his delight, he was able to make a resonance with the heaven and earth almost immediately after he closed his eyes. The process was so smooth that he couldn''t beleive it. Strands of multicoloured lights appeared in his soul consciousness and Zhan Chen immediately identified which strands represented the five heavenly elements. He tried to pull the strands towards the energy sphere leviating infront of him and the strands of five elements actually adhered to his coercion.


    Zhan Chen separated three strands each from the colourful lights and guided them towards the energy sphere. His attempt was sessful in his first try and he guided the elemental strands towards the energy sphere.


    Heavenly lightning appeared in the sky above the rocky hill as soon as Zhan Chen assimted the elemental strands into the energy sphere. He was not bothered by the lightning and burned his soul fire again. The energy sphere along with the elemental strands got purified by his soul fire and started to condense. A round pellet at the shape of a small fist materialized after half an hour of soul refining. Zhan Chen continued to put his soul energy and the round pill continued to decrease in size. The pill concoction was at it''sst leg when a heavenly lighting fell upon the stone cave where Zhan Chen was concocting his pill.


    Others might be intimidated but Zhan Chen was not. He himself flew out of his stone cave and exposed the pill to the pill tribtion. His soul fire was still burning as he continued to refine the newly emerged pill. A blue lightning fell on the round shaped pill squarely as Zhan Chen was refining it with his soul fire. The lightning surprisingly didn''t harm Zhan Chen rather it targeted only the round pill. Smoke started to appear from the pill but Zhan Chen was unconcerned. Suddenly a multicoloured flow appeared from the pill as the smoke dissipated into the thin air. The pill waspletely translucent and glowing brilliantly with a five coloured glow. It immediately shut towards the distance after the effect of lightning wean off.


    "Sess", Zhan Chen muttered to himself with a smile. He spread his soul consciousness and caught the rebelling pill effortlessly. A seventh grade pill was born and it was the birth of a pill emperor in the Northern desert continent. Lightning cackled in the sky above the rocky hill but it didn''t send down another lightning to strike Zhan Chen''s pill. Zhan Chen was unconcerned as he took out a jade container to store the seventh grade pill.

 Chapter 394 Gathering Of Experts

    Zhan Chen took a brief rest to restore his soul power and spirit. His soul was already at the peak of sage realm but his body was still limited to his cultivation level. So, it was quite a burden for him to exert soul power exceeding the limit of the Heavenly tribtion realm.


    Zhan Chen sat cross legged and meditated silently. He didn''t use the Celestial yinyang Sutra rather he chose to do some simple meditation and breathing practices. He took his time in meditation and gradually the exhaustion and fatigue washed away.


    Zhan Chen decided to stop after half a day''s time passed. He was feelingpletely invigorated after half a day''s of silent meditation and breathing practices. ''Let''s head back to the Yellow stone city'', he thought to himself. He used Cloud soaring technique and flew towards the distance. It took another two hours for him to reach the Yellow stone city. He was amazed by the amount of security deployed to protect the Yellow stone city.


    "Halt", an armoured guard shouted. His eyes were stern as he looked towards him. "Brat, where are you from?", the armoured guard asked.


    "I am a disciple of the Xuantian sect. I am here to meet my seniors. Is it possible to open the gate?", Zhan Chen asked politely. He took out his identification token and saw it to the guards.


    "Wait here. Someone from the Xuantian sect wille to inspect your token. If you are truly a Xuantian sect disciple, you will be given entry. Otherwise, you know, what future awaits you", the guard spoke.


    "I will wait", Zhan Chen spoke calmly. The armoured guard nodded his head and looked towards one of hispanion. Hispanion hurried into the city after taking a look towards Zhan Chen.


    The armoured guard returned after few minutes of time. He had invited a bald middle-aged man who was wearing a pristine white robe. Zhan Chen immediately identified the middle-aged man from his robe. He was an outer court elder of the Xuantian sect.


    "Young man, let me check your token", the bald middle-aged man spoke. He was neither servile neither dominnering as he talked with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen took out his token and sent it flying towards the middle aged man. The middle aged man''s eyes widened after he saw Zhan Chen''s identity token.


    "Young master Chen, forgive me. I didn''t know that you have returned", the middle aged man spoke with an apologetic look on his face. The armoured guards ft curious after listening the words of the bald elder.


    "It is not your fault. Now let me pass. I have to go look for senior Liying", Zhan Chen spoke. He collected his identity token from the middle aged man and entered the city gate. He used the Cloud soaring technique after passing through the securities arranged near the gate.


    "Elder Kui, who is this young man? I have never saw you being so respectful towards a junior?", an armoured guard asked. Hispanions also felt curious as they looked towards the middle aged man.


    "Have you heard of the emerging prodigee of my sect who single-handedly ughtered devils at the first day of the battle?", the middle aged man looked towards the armoured guards.


    "Are you talking about Zhan Chen?", an armoured guard chimed in.


    "Exactly, this young man is Zhan Chen. It is an important piece of news. I need to inform elder Chao", the middle aged bald man spoke. He hurried into the Yellow stone city after talking with the armoured guards.


    "There are quite a lot of new faces! Seems like few other powers decided to send their experts", Zhan Chen thought to himself.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He kept moving like a shadow and stopped after reaching the pce of the city lord. He strode into the city lord''s pce but an attack came crashing towards him as soon as he entered the city lord''s pce.


    It was an energy palm which approached him at a breathtaking speed. The path ahead was narrow. So, he had no ce to dodge. Zhan Chen''s eyes became cold as he cut open the energy palm with his sword energy.


    "Hmm!", a voice of surprise came from the air. A tall young man appeared and looked towards Zhan Chen with bewilderment on his face.


    "Punk, who are you? How dare you enter a ce where the esteemed emperors are taking rest?", the tall young man spoke. He didn''t wait for Zhan Chen to reply andunched another attack towards Zhan Chen.


    A cold glint appeared in Zhan Chen''s eyes as he took out a sword. He channeled his essence energy and cut open another energy palm that the young manunched towards him.


    "You really think too highly of yourself. In my entire life, I have always hated annoying persons like you", Zhan Chen spoke. He swung his sword vertically and a long sh went towards the young man floating in the mid air.


    The young man brought forward his hands to mount a defence attack. He could only materialize a palm before the sword sh of Zhan Chen approached him.


    "Enough!", suddenly a voice rang in the pathway. An imposing expert appeared in the mid air and stopped the attack from Zhan Chen. There was an indecernible expression on his face as he shifted his gaze towards Zhan Chen.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed his head slightly. Inwardly, he was sneering after seeing the mighty act of the emperor.


    "Li Kai, let''s leave. I have already talked with senior Deming. He has epted our offer. So, there is no need to linger in this Yellow stone city", the emperor spoke. He brought the tall young man with him and flew out of the city lord''s pce.


    Both the emperor and the tall young man didn''t stop after leaving the city lord''s pce. They flew out from the Yellow stone city and stopped only after pulling a distance from the Yellow stone city.


    "Master, you should have taught that punk a lesson. That bastard seems unpleasant to my eyes", the tall young man spoke. He had an indignant expression on his face as he looked towards the emperor.


    "Li Kai, have some patience. I have always warned you to not underestimate the disciples from the three big sects", the emperor spoke.


    "By the way, our n is going smoothly. The Xuantian sect will send it''s disciples to the Grey dust world after this devil nuisance is gone", the emperor spoke.


    "Good. I will teach him and the Xuantian sect disciples a lesson once they enter the Grey dust world. There is also those arrogant sluts from the Frozen cloud sect. I can''t stop thinking about them after seeing them in the Dragon province", the tall young man spoke. He was initially a good looking dashing young man but now his appearance seemed evil and twisted. The most peculiar fact was the expression on the emperor''s face. He didn''t seem to mind his disciple''s behaviour rather he had an indulgant and affectionate expression on his face as he looked towards the tall young man.

 Chapter 395 Gathering Of Experts (2)

    Zhan Chen felt several soul consciousness spying on him when he was fighting with the tall young man. He pretended like he didn''t notice anything as he walked towards the main hall of the City lord''s pce.


    There were total seven person inside the main hall. Each of them had an imposing aura as they sat inside the main hall. Zhan Chen knew three of them as they were from the Xuantian sect. But other four persons werepletely unknown to him.


    All the seven experts looked towards him as soon as he entered the main hall. Any ordinary disciple would have felt nervous if seven emperors looked towards him at once but Zhan Chen didn''t feel nervous at all. He had a calm and collected expression on his face as he looked towards all the seven emperors.


    "Zhan Chen, how is your mission? Have you got the Five harmony soul resurgence pill?", Shui Liying asked.


    "Greetings seniors. Fortunately, I have managed toplete my mission sessfully", Zhan Chen spoke. He gave a bow to each emperor and everyone nodded towards him in response.


    "Zhan Chen, take out the pill. Let us see how the ancient pill looks like", an emperor spoke. Zhan Chen felt a dilemma all of a sudden as the Five harmony soul resurgence pill was freshly concocted. He had imed that the Five harmony soul resurgence pill was found from a relics but the emperors would be found out the truth if he takes out the pill. He didn''t want to fall prey to his own of lies. So, he quick thought about a solution.


    "Senior, excuse me. I can''t take out the pill right now. There is a stringent condition for the Five harmony soul resurgence pill. We need to give the pill to senior Tao as soon as it is unsealed. Otherwise, the efficacy of the pill will be reduced as soon we expose it to the environment ", Zhan Chen spoke. He had a calm expression on his face despite the fact that he was bberingplete lies.


    "Is there such a condition?", the emperor eximed with a doubtful expression on his face. Other emperors also had confused expression as they didn''t know much regarding the Five harmony soul resurgence pill.


    "Well, there may be some truth in his words. We can''t take a risk now. I am bringing him to see brother Tao", Shui Liying spoke. Other emperors nodded their heads as what she was seeing waspletely reasonable. Compared to their curiousity, the health of Hu Tao was much more important.


    "Zhan Chen,e with me", Shui Liying spoke. She waved her hand and a strand of essence energy wrapped around Zhan Chen''s body.


    Zhan Chen let her support his body as he flew along with Shui Liying. Both of them flew towards a different location in the pce where Hu Tao and the peak master of the Earth sect were being taken care of.


    There was arge room at the end of a distant corridor where Hu Tao was resting. Zhan Chen was surprised to see a bewitching woman channeling wood essence energy to Hu Tao''s body.


    "Liying, you are back already?", the bewitching woman looked towards Shui Liying and Zhan Chen. She had a little curiousity as she found Zhan Chen travelling with Shui Liying. It was a surprise for her because she knew how much Shui Liying hate men.


    "Big sis Mei, he is the one I am talking about. He possesses a good talent in alchemy", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Greetings senior", Zhan Chen immediately bowed towards the bewitching woman. This time the greetings was from his heart as he was really bought over by the charm of the bewitching woman infront of him. The woman was almost like a treasure. She didn''t possess beauty like Shui Liying neither she had Grace like a goddess but her natural gifts and curves were enough to attract any men in the.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Zhan Chen, she is elder sister Huang Mei from the Huang n. She and I was taught together by my master when she was studying in the Xuantian sect", Shui Liying introduced the bewitching woman. Her easygoing demeanor around Zhan Chen was a surprise for Huang Mei as she felt more curious about Zhan Chen. She had never thought that her ice cold junior sister would be sofortable around a young man.


    "Your name is Zhan Chen, am I right?", Huang Mei asked with a smile on his face. Zhan Chen felt her charm was city toppling as she smiled towards him.


    "Yes senior, I am Zhan Chen, a disciple of the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen replied suavely. He took a look towards Huang Mei''s assets but his action was so natural that it didn''t bother Huang Mei.


    "Big sis, he has brought the Five harmony soul resurgence pill. If the pill is so amazing as it described in record, then it may save brother Tao from near death condition", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Oh, there is actually such an idiot in the world. Someone actually exchanged a pill like Five harmony soul resurgence pill for some meagerly treasures", Huang Mei mused. She stretched out her hand and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Hand over the pill", she spoke with a bossy attitude. Zhan Chen would have feel offended if there was some men in ce of her but her attitude was quite matching to her charm. Zhan Chen removed the pill bottle from his spatial ring and handed it over to Huang Mei.


    "Big sis, be careful. There is a condition to use this pill. We need to feed this directly to brother Tao without exposing it to the environment. If we take time to examine it, the pill may lose its efficacy", Shui Liying warned


    "Oh, there is such a thing? Where did you learned it?", Huang Mei asked. Zhan Chen felt a little tense as his cover may be blown off at any moment. But he was not much bothered, he waspletely ready to confront an emperor even if he receives some injury in his physical body.


    "Big sis, I can exin youter. Let''s feed this pill to brother Tao first. We can''t take a gamble here as brother Tao''s life is at stake", Shui Liying spoke with a calm expression on her face. She knew the character of her elder sister. How curious and doubtful she was. She felt worried that the pill may be damaged if Huang Mei took an interest towards the pill.


    "Fine, let''s feed him the pill first", Huang Mei conceded. She opened up the pill bottle and ced the pill immediately inside Hu Tao''s mouth. It was only a brief moment but the pill fragrance was enough to entice both Shui Liying and Huang Mei.


    "Such a nice fragrance", Huang Mei spoke with an intoxicating expression after inhaling deeply. Compared to her, Shui Liying was calmer but she also inhaled a little to take in the intoxicating aroma of the Five harmony soul resurgence pill.


    She ced her hand immediately on Hu Tao''s chest and tried to help him in ingesting the medicinal essence. "It is indeed a Seventh rank pill. Moreover, it is a high grade one besides that", Huang Mei spoke. She had a look of bewilderment on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Young man, tell me which fool it is who actually give you a high grade seventh rank pill. I need to know because I am willing to exchange all the treasures of our Huang n in exchange of such a pill", Huang Mei spoke. This time, she had the same madness in her eyes which Shui Liying possessed while talking about alchemy.


    "This woman is also mad about alchemy! It will be easy then", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He remained silent despite the burning curiousity in Huang Mei ''s eyes.

 Chapter 396 An Interesting Person

    Brat, why are you not speaking? Tell me, who gave you the Five harmony soul resurgence pill?", Huang Mei asked. There was an impatient expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Big sis, this pill is amazing. I have never seen such wonderful medicinal effect in my entire life", Shui Liying spoke from the side. There was a hint of excitement in her beautiful eyes as she looked towards Huang Mei.


    Huang Mei stopped pestering Zhan Chen after hearing Shui Liying''s words. She spread her soul consciousness and checked on Hu Tao''s body condition. A hint of bewilderment appeared on her face as she observed the partially dissolved medicinal pill inside Hu Tao''s body. She withdrew her soul consciousness after examining the Five harmony soul resurgence pill for a while. There was a burning curiousity and thirst in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    ''This woman is mad about alchemy'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He didn''t know that the same thing would have happened if any peak alchemist of the Centralnd got to observe the Five harmony soul resurgence pill.


    The Centralnd was flourishing with martial talents but when it came to alchemy and formation, the Centralnd had its limitations. It had been hundreds of years since any alchemy emperor had appeared in the Centralnd. Thus, a seventh grade pill was like an invaluable treasure which would attract all the alchemists in the Centralnd like moths were attracted to the fire.


    "Brat, don''t try to hide anything. I want to know which expert is it who has given you the Five harmony soul resurgence pill?", Huang Mei looked towards Zhan Chen. She used a little of her emperor aura to intimidate Zhan Chen.


    Shui Liying felt angry all of a sudden. She didn''t know why she was feeling angry but she couldn''t tolerate the sight where Zhan Chen was being bullied by others.


    "Big sis, you can''t do this. He has done such a meritorious deed. Yet, you are threatening him instead of rewarding him", she spoke unhappily.


    "Liying, don''t worry. I am just ying with him. I promise no harm will fall upon him under my watch", Huang Mei sent a voice transmission to Shui Liying. Shui Liying calmed down after hearing her elder sister''s words.


    "Senior, it is actually not difficult to give away the identity of that expert. But I must get something in return. You know, it is quite risky to reveal the secrets of such a big expert", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I understand. I promise, you will not be disappointed. Tell me, whatever demand you have. If it is not too much, I will try my best to fulfill your demand", Huang Mei spoke. She was speaking calmly after behaving like a little maniac infront of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior Liying, can I go out with senior Mei? I want to have few words with her alone", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Do, whatever you like. I wil look for you after brother Tao regained his consciousness", Shui Liying spoke. There are chaotic emotions hidden in her heart but she suppressed them for the time being.


    "Senior, I am not leaving the Yellow stone city. So, you can look for me anytime", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t have to invite Huang Mei as she left with him on her own.


    "Senior, I have a proposal for you. Let''s have a little contest. You are a renowned alchemist. So, I beleive you will not reject an alchemy contest with a junior like me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You want an alchemy contest in return for your information", Huang Mei looked towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression on her face. Her expression was like she was watching the dumbest person in the entire.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Senior, I will tell you the identity of that expert if you win. But what if I manage to win somehow", Zhan Chen looked towards Huang Mei.


    "It is almost impossible for me to lose. But there is some miracles some time. Tell me, what do you want me to do if you are able to defeat me", Huang Mei spoke. There was a curiousity in her bewitching eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, pardon me if I am impolite. But I want to have your first night if you lose to me", Zhan Chen spoke. He had a firm and fearless expression on his face as looked towards Huang Mei.


    "Heh, young are really fearless", Huang Mei chuckled. Surprisingly, she was not enraged after hearing the outrageous words of Zhan Chen.


    "I don''t know what are you nning with an old woman like me. But what you are offering is really inadequate for my first night. I, Huang Mei always beleive in profitable exchange. As long as I get enough benefit, I don''t mind having a night with man", Huang Mei spoke. She waspletely nonchnt as sheid bare her thoughts infront of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt slightly hooked as he saw her nonchnt attitude towards sharing her first night.


    I can see you have an interest towards me. Many have such interest but none dare to state their thoughts infront of me. In that regard, I am impressed that you are frank and courageous. I really appreciate that. But as I say, my life''s principle is always guided by benefits. If you can offer things which can entice me, I will dly ept your offer", Huang Mei spoke.


    "The question is whether you have such information or treasure which has more value than my chastity?", Huang Mei spoke. She had a yful expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen had never seen an emperor like her who would disregard her dignity for benefits. She had such an unique personality which piqued his interest, the more he talked with her.


    "Senior, what if I give you the pill forme for the Five harmony soul resurgence pill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Not enough. A seventh rank pill forme is amazing but it is of no use if I can''t concoct it in my life time", Huang Mei spoke.


    "Senior, what if I give you another Five harmony soul resurgence pill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Deal. It is quite a fair offer. You have to give me the pill forme of the Five harmony soul resurgence pill along with an intact pill if I win the alchemy contest. As for the the miracle that you hopes for where I will lose, I will definitely agree to share my first night with you. It will not be a lose if I get to share my first night with an interesting young man like you", Huang Mei spoke.


    "Shall we begin?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, are not you worried that I will cheat you? What if I didn''t hand over the pill forme and the pill to you?", Zhan Chen asked. He was quite interested to have a casual conversation with Huang Mei.


    "You will pay me one way or another. You are the scion of the Zhan n. I don''t believe I will take a lose in a contest with you", Huang Mei replied. She was not bothered that Zhan Chen would cheat her after the alchemy contest.

 Chapter 397 Alchemy Contest

    Like Shui Liying, Huang Mei also suggested topete with Zhan Chen in concocting the fourth rank pill. ording to her, it was already a miracle that Zhan Chen could concoct rank four pills at his age.


    Zhan Chen epted her suggestion readily. After agreeing to concoct the fourth rank pill, the real dilemma infront of them is to gather two sets of grade four spirit herbs.


    "Zhan Chen, leave the matter of grade four spirit herbs at my hand. You can go back to junior sister Liying ''s side. I will find you after collecting few sets of spirit herbs", Huang Mei spoke. She vanished from her location as soon as she finished her words. Zhan Chen finally knew how much of an alchemy maniac she was. An esteemed emperor like herself was putting forward some serious effort to have an alchemypetetion with a junior.


    Hu Tao''s face was already rosy by the time Zhan Chen returned to Shui Liying ''s side. Shui Liying smiled slightly after seeing Zhan Chen by her side. Her faint smile was like a pearl on the barren sand which lightens up Zhan Chen''s mood.


    She was an exquisite and out of world beauty. Her demeanor was generally cold but she was starting to show some emotions after he nted the Soul seed technique inside her.


    "Zhan Chen, wait a little. My assignment here is almost done as brother Tao is recovering pretty quickly", Shui Liying spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and sat down cross legged to cultivate.


    He circted the Celestial yinyang Sutra and cultivated inside the big room where Shui Liying was treating Hu Tao. Hu Tao''s rapidly withering soul came to a stalemate after the Five harmony soul resurgence pill waspletely dissolved inside his body. The state of withering waspletely gone as his soul lit up with five coloured brilliant light.


    Mysterious energy from the heaven flew into his body as his soul made a rapid recovery. Five elements together represented the dao of heaven. Five harmony soul resurgence pill utilized this concept and used this pill as a medium to draw heavenly energy to assist the soul.


    ''Hmm!'', Hu Tao''s eyelids fluttered after a while. He opened his eyes slowly and looked towards his surroundings. ''Sister Liying!'', he was slightly surprised to see the cold beauty infront of him.


    "Brother Tao, you have been unconscious for a while. Take a rest properly. I will notify senior brother Deming about your recovery", Shui Liying spoke.


    She didn''t wait for Hu Tao''s response and left with Zhan Chen. Hu Tao was slightly surprised by her abrupt departure but he was not bothered. He knew how cold Shui Liying actually was. So, it was natural for her to leave straightaway after treating him.


    "Zhan Chen, wait here for me. I will notify senior brother Deming and return quickly", Shui Liying spoke. She vanished after speaking her words and Zhan Chen waited for her patiently in the wide corridor.


    She returned few minutes after she was gone. There was a rxed expression on her face after the burden on her mind was gone. She looked towards Zhan Chen and emotion flickered in his eyes.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Can we have some alone time?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Ofcourse", Zhan Chen nodded his head. Shui Liying used her essence energy and helped him flying. Together they came to a secluded location where a pond was located in the middle.


    There were flowers everywhere and luxuriant vines covered the ground. Air was fresh and it really freshened up Zhan Chen''s mood.


    "Zhan Chen, I will ask you only once. So, please listen to my words", Shui Liying spoke all of a sudden. Zhan Chen nodded his head and waited for Shui Liying to begin.


    I have always thought I will never like a man in my lifetime. I used to like someone in my younger days but that was only an illusion. I thought he also likes me but that was never the case. I got a huge shock when he chose someone else. I stay disturbed for quite a long time before deciding to focus on my cultivation. Since then, I have been staying away from all kinds of men. I thought my heart is already dead but that is not the case. I have started to miss you since the day we go to the Serene bamboo peak together. I have tried to resist this feeling as it is awkward to think something between us but this feeling is irresistible. I think, it is quite hard to stay without you. So, I decided to see you in person. Now, I want to hear your answer. What do you think about me. If you are willing to take me as your woman, then I am yours. If not, then I wish to not see you in my lifetime", Shui Liying spoke. The Soul seed technique was affecting her greatly but she still maintained an independent mind. She was willing to fall in love once again but if Zhan Chen was hesitant to ept her then she would vanish from his sightpletely. Shui Liying felt nervous in her heart as she looked towards Zhan Chen. It had been a while since she felt so nervous in her heart.


    "Beauty, I don''t know the fool who couldn''t see your love but I am different. I am willing to be your man for the eternity if you agree to share your bed with me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I agree", Shui Liying softly spoke as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Her heart was welling up with emotion as she matched her eyes with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled her closer gently. He cupped her face with both of his hands and bent her body slightly to kiss her lips. Her lips were like a work of art. They were full and supple andpltely red in colour. Zhan Chen felt like he was tasting the softest thing in the world when he met Shui Liying ''s lips with his own lips.


    Shui Liying closed her eyes tightly when Zhan Chen started to nibble on her lips. Her body temprature rose slightly as she experience the first drizzle of love in her lonely life.


    Zhan Chen acted like a griddy merchant when he got to taste the lips of Shui Liying. The softness was amazing and he was unwilling to let go of such a heavenly feeling.


    He nibbled on her sulent lips and finally invaded the cavity of her mouth. His tongue touched her soft tongue as he exchanged some saliva with it. It was only after ten minutes, he was willing to let go of Shui Liying. Shui Liying opened her eyes slowly as there was a red blush on her lovely face.


    "I will call you husband from now on. My mother has never called my father by his name. So, I will follow her example", Shui Liying spoke. Her voice was so soft and tender that Zhan Chen felt his heart throbbing a little. He bent her body once again and nibbled on her lips. It was a heavenly experience for him as he invaded her mouth throughly.

 Chapter 398 Husband

    "Liying, shall we go to a room? I can''t wait to see you after epting you as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke. He knew Huang Mei would return anytime but he didn''t care anymore. He wanted to giveShui Liying enough time before looking for her elder sister.


    "Husband, shall we pick a room in the city lord''s pce or should we go somewhere else", Shui Liying asked softly. She was already trying her best to throw away all her inhibition and get closer with Zhan Chen.


    "Pick a ce you like. We will stay there for a while as long as we are in the Yellow stone city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, follow me", Shui Liying spoke. She used her essence energy and helped Zhan Chen to fly along with her. They left the city lord''s pce and go towards a different direction. She picked a small mansion which was at a secluded location.


    There were few cultivators who were upying the mansion. Shui Liying used her aura and all of them trembled. "Leave, this mansion is now my personal abode", Shui Liying spoke.


    It took only few minutes before the mansion was clear. Zhan Chen was already struggling to keep himself in control. He led Shui Liying to a nearby room and nibbled on her lips again.


    "Liying, remove your clothes. I want to see how beautiful you look without your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying felt only a little resistance in her heart but she suppressed itpletely with decisiveness. She had already epted Zhan Chen as his man. So, she had already decided to own up her decisionpletely.


    "Husband, as you wish", she muttered. She removed her green robe and proceeded to remove her undergarments. Her assets were a bewitching sight for Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen felt like he was watching the work of God as Shui Liying stood infront of him naked.


    She had perfect curves and bountiful assets. Her assets were neither too big neither seemed to be too exaggerated. Zhan Chen could only say one word after seeing her naked. ''Perfect!'', was the only word that could describe her naked body. She was like the must beautiful sculpture of a godly artist.


    Her body was slender and slim and the bountiful assets added up to her beauty perfectly. Zhan Chen pulled her towards a nearby bed and made her sleep on it. He leaned on her body and started to explore her body from face to toes.


    Shui Liying let out soft moans when Zhan Chen rained down kisses on her face and neck. Her moans were like the enchanting song of a bird which bewitched Zhan Chenpletely.


    Zhan Chen grabbed her breasts with his hands and knedded them ording to his wish. The softness was addicting and Zhan Chen didn''t keep track of the time as she yed with her breasts throughly.


    "Husband, please stop. I can''t control myself if you go on", Shui Liying spoke after a while. She could feel droplets of water gathering in herher region. The sensual pleasure from Zhan Chen''s touch was immense and she felt like she was holding off a dam while controlling herself.


    Zhan Chen let go of her breasts after hearing her pleading. He made her bent her legs and pulled her closer towarde him. He crouched down to ce his mouth on herher garden and gave her pink entrance a lick. Shui Liying felt like a shockwave ran through her body as she couldn''t control herself anymore. A huge amount of aromatic water came out from her cave and Zhan Chen gulped thempletely. A surprising fact was wood energy was abundant when she released her yin water. For some time, wood energy lingered in the air as Zhan Chen shared some tender kisses with Shui Liying.


    "Liying, can you send a message to your elder sister? Tell her to wait few days as I have sensed a breakthrough opportunity", Zhan Chen spoke.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Sure", Shui Liying nodded her head. She took out amunication tailsman and put a message in it. Themunication tailsman flew away automatically as soon as she finished speaking her words.


    "Liying, will you me me if I take your elder sister as my woman?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No", Shui Liying had a clear and melodious tone as she replied to Zhan Chen.


    "I wish I have found you earlier. I would have taken less girls as my women because you are enough for me rece hundred girls", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, I can guess you are looking for women to cultivate. I have already epted it since the day we have met. So, there is no need for you to exin", Shui Liying spoke gently.


    "Liying, You may deny but I know that you are peeking while I am cultivating with your disciple and her aunt. I have noticed your soul consciousness while cultivating with them", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face.


    "Husband, you have noticed me that day?", Shui Liying asked with a blush on her face. She suddenly felt very shy to look towards Zhan Chen.


    "Liying, there is nothing to feel shy. You have watched it, it is a good thing for us. At least you know what is my preference and what a man and woman ought to do in dual cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, you don''t me me?", Shui Liying looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen shook his head and proceeded to kiss her on her lips.


    "Husband, I have observed quite a few thing. What do you want me to do? I willply with what ever suggestion you have", Shui Liying spoke. A hint of expectation appeared in her eyes when she thought about the berserk appearance of Zhan Chen that day.


    "Liying, why don''t you use your mouth a little. It will be helpful if you moistens it", Zhan Chen spoke as he pulled off his pant. His little dragon became uncaged as it raised its head to take a look at Shui Liying.


    "Husband, teach me if I amcking. I want you to feel good like that day", Shui Liying spoke. She wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s dragon and started to stroke it slowly.


    Zhan Chen felt an amazing feeling when she finally took his dragon inside her mouth. Softness of her lips was amazing to begin with. Her lipsbined with her tongue made Zhan Chen feel like he was experiencing a heavenly journey. Shui Liying waspletely through as she did her best to please Zhan Chen. She even went as far as to lick his family jewels as Zhan Chen clenched his fists in delight. Her tongue and lips assault continued for almost an hour before Zhan Chen reached his peak. He pushed the head of Shui Liying towards him and burst inside her mouth. Huge amount of thick yang essence came out from his dragon and entered Shui Liying ''s throat. She gulped down all of his yang essence and proceeded to lick the remanant of his essence from the tip of dragon. Zhan Chen waspletely in love with her sincerity and eagerness as she pleased him with all her heart.

 Chapter 399 An Opportunity For Breakthrough

    Zhan Chen felt a sense of acheivement while being taken care by Shui Liying. It was a honour to see a goddess like Shui Liying bing so obedient infront of him.


    "Husband''s essence is so potent!", Shui Liying muttered with surprise on her face. She swallowed thest drop of Zhan Chen''s yang essence and felt a warm current flowing all over her body. Zhan Chen''s thick essence was full of yang energy and nourishing for a woman''s body. She could see that she could have benefitted greatly if her cultivation was equal or lower than Zhan Chen.


    "Liying, are you tired?", Zhan Chen asked gentlly. His dragon was still raging but he decided to stop for a while to give some rest to Shui Liying.


    "Husband, I am not tired. I want to know whether you have any more request", Shui Liying spoke. She looked towards Zhan Chen while wrapping her hand gently around his dragon.


    "Liying, you have yet to be a woman despite cultivating for so many years. You are still a pure and pristine girl underneath. So, are you willing to ept me as your man and step into womanhood today?", Zhan Chen looked towards Shui Liying. There was a burning desire in his eyes as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Husband, I have already epted you. It will be my pleasure if both of us be man and woman today", Shui Liying spoke. She stoked Zhan Chen''s dragon gently and raised her head to look towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled her closer by her hand and shared a passionate kiss with her. This time, Shui Liying also saw her passion by nibbling on his lips. Zhan Chen moved his hand around her back and felt the softness of her jade white skin. Shui Liying felt her mind going nk for a moment when Zhan Chen groped her bouncy buttocks.


    Zhan Chen made her lie on the bed after sharing a passionate kiss with her. He bent her legs and pulled her closer towards him. Like every part of her body, herher garden was also a piece of art. It had a pinkish hue and it''s appearance was like a yet to bloom rose flower.


    "Nnnn~", Shui Liying let out a moan in pleasure when Zhan Chen rubbed the entrance of herher pce with his dragon. Zhan Chen rubbed her entrance for few times before cing his dragon at the right position. He gave a quick thrust and droplets of reddish blood trickled out from her pierced cave.


    "Ah", Shui Liying let out a pained cry in response to Zhan Chen''s thrust. Zhan Chen quickly touched few of her acupoints and her pain resided.


    Her cave felt very tight and it squeezed Zhan Chen''s dragon from every direction. Zhan Chen felt incredible when he moved his waist slightly.


    The tightness and sticity of her cave was giving him an incredible sensation. Zhan Chen felt like fire coarsing through his body as he kept his dragon inside Shui Liying ''s cave. He would have started right away but he could see that Shui Liying was yet to befortable. So, despite his desire to conquer her, he held off his instinct.


    "Liying, are you okay?", he asked her.He proceed to touch few of her nerves and stimted few of her pleasure points.


    "Husband, I am okay now. It is slightly painful but I think I can manage", Shui Liying replied. There was overflowing desire on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could see the invitation from her eyes. So, he started to move his waist. His dragon traveled deeper the more he moved his waist.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Ah~", he finally gave a deep thrust and dragon traveled all the way to the door of her womb. Shui Liying felt an incredible sensation as her cave walls became moist.


    Zhan Chen gradually increased his speed and Shui Liying moaned under her breath. Her cave was squeezing tightly Zhan Chen''s dragon and it made Zhan Chen more excited. Her moans were soft and sweet which was very pleasant to hear. For some reason Zhan Chen didn''t go berserk with his thrusts as he didn''t want to disturb the melody he was listening.


    Shui Liying didn''t know her moans had hooked Zhan Chen so greatly. She kept producing her moans while getting prated by Zhan Chen. Such a uniform patternsted for half an hour untill Shui Liying reached her peak. Her breathes became quicker and she arched her back slightly to receive Zhan Chen''s thrust. Zhan Chen knew it was time for him to do more and he thrusted his dragon more rapidly.


    "Ahh~"


    "Ahhhhn~", Shui Liying moaned continuously for few minutes before releasing her yin water. Her body convulsed in pleasure as she opened her eyes to look towards Zhan Chen.


    The Yinyang diagram on Zhan Chen''s dantian roared into action after Shui Liying released her yin essence. It absorbed all the yin energy she had released before any droplet of liquid waisted in the surrounding.


    "Husband, thank you. It feels so incredible", Shui Liying spoke with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. Her demeanor was such that Zhan Chen could only feel a gentle feeling in his heart after dual cultivating with her.


    She was like water which doused the fire in his heart. All she needed was tender love and soft feeling which would satiate her.


    It was the first time Zhan Chen had not requested an woman to get on her back. His dragon seemed to be tamed a little when he was in the presence of Shui Liying. Her heart was extremely pure and full of gentleness. Zhan Chen couldn''t feel any shread of overbearing lust while dual cultivating with her.


    Zhan Chen felt an incredible rxation after dual cultivating with Shui Liying. Such rxation was natural and stemmed from the gentleness and purity of Shui Liying. Suddenly, an extraordinary feeling came to his heart. He had a feeling that he was about to step into the next stage of the Celestial yinyang Sutra.


    There were many kinds of women in the vast world. Some were overbearing, some were charming, some were temptress. Zhan Chen had already dual cultivated with many kind but he had yet to get a woman who had such a natural pure heart and gentle demeanor like Shui Liying. The Celestial yinyang Sutra was profound and mysterious and Zhan Chen didn''t know how to break through from it''s initial stage. He had already dual cultivated with more than twenty woman. Yet, he had not seeded in making a breakthrough in the Celestial yinyang Sutra.He thought he had to cultivate with hundred of woman like his master before he could acheive a breakthrough. But that notion vanished after today''s cultivation session. Rather than hundreds of woman, what the Celestial yinyang Sutra wanted him to experience was the women with unique nature.


    "Liying, you are my lucky star. I have sensed an opportunity for breakthrough after cultivating with you", Zhan Chen spoke gently.


    "Husband, do you need to go into seclusion?", Shui Liying asked. Her cave was still upied by Zhan Chen''s dragon while they were talking with eachother.


    "No, I do not have to go into seclusion. What I need to do is dual cultivate with you", Zhan Chen replied.

 Chapter 400 Huang Meis Curiousity

    "Husband, you can have a breakthrough while sleeping with me?", Shui Liying asked with a confused expression on her face. She couldn''t understand how Zhan Chen could acheive a breakthrough while doing such indecent acts with her.


    Zhan Chen grabbed her breasts with a smile on his face. "No need to think much. I only want to know whether you are willing to coperate with me".


    "Nnn~Husband, you can count on me. I will definitely fulfill whatever request you have", Shui Liying replied with a look of enjoyment on her face.


    "Then prepare for a ride. I promise it will be a great journey for you", Zhan Chen smirked. He rolled over the bed and pulled Shui Liying upward.


    "Take it inside. You can move yourself however you want", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying was inexperienced. So, he had to guide her. A look of enjoyment appeared on her face when she sat on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen held her waist and guided her movement. It was a source of great pleasure for Shui Liying as she moved her body. "Liying, you just need to move like that. Please don''t stop untill I say you so", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, you can rest assured", she replied charmilngly. She continued to move her waist and Zhan Chen closed his eyes after few moments. He circted the Celestial yinyang Sutra inside his body and looked for an opportunity when he could get a breakthrough.


    Shui Liying was moving neither slow neither rapidly. She was moving in a certain rhythm while riding Zhan Chen. A continuous stream of pleasure ran through Zhan Chen''s body as he operated Celestial yinyang Sutra. He didn''t know when he entered into a profound state of cultivation.


    He was cultivating Celestial yinyang Sutra but he had no enlightenment regarding yinw or yangw. Together yinw and yangw werepared to the Supreme heavenlyws like time and space. They were greater than the elementalws and were very difficult toprehend.


    A cultivator may got some enlightenment about yinw or yangw separately but together yinyangw represented the most mysterious aspect of heaven. Even most talented cultivators of a generation could not see through the operation of yinyangw.


    Zhan Chen had not received any enlightenment regarding Yinyangw in his past life. In this life, he got such an opportunity while cultivating with Shui Liying.


    He could see a violent stream of energy and a gentle stream of energy getting mixed up continuously. Their collusion was mysterious as they were producing the purest kind of energy a cultivator would need.


    He took a look at the mysterious Yinyang diagram which was lying on his dantian. He could somehow see through it today as someplexws appeared in his mind. The mysterious Yinyang diagram was lit up as it unceasingly pulled up both yin energy and yang energy inside its body. There was an amalgamation ofplexws as it imitated the operation of mysterious heaven. All the elements born from yin and yang. There was only two aspects outside it. Space and time. Zhan Chen looked at the mysterious working of heaven and fell into a deep state ofprehension. He thought he had grabbed something but the heavenly working wereplex and ethereal. He did his best to observe the working of mysterious Yinyang diagram whilepltely forgetting about the outside world.

    "Swoosh", Huang Mei flew rapidly towards the city lord''s pce after entering the Yellow stone city. It took her some time but she had managed to gather five sets of grade four pill ingredients.


    "Sister Mei, junior sister Liying has a message for you. She has sent amunication tailsman just after you have left", Fu Deming spoke. Even he was surprised after hearing the content of the message.


    "Sister Liying? Where is she? What is her message?", Huang Mei asked with a confused expression on her face. She was expecting Shui Liying to be inside city lord''s pce when she returned after collecting pill ingredients. But here, she was hearing that Shui Liying had left a message for her.


    "She wants you to wait a while. Because Zhan Chen has suddenly sense an opportunity for breakthrough in his cultivation", Fu Deming spoke. He couldn''t understand how Shui Liying got associated with Zhan Chen. His junior sister Liying only had hate towards male cultivators. So, it was a surprise for all the emperors of the Xuantian sect when they learned the content of themunication tailsman. The aloof godess of the Serene bamboo peak was associating herself with a junior. It was a surprising news for all of them.


    "Alright, I will wait. That brat is slightly strange. So, I want to learn everything about him before Ipete with him", Huang Mei spoke.


    "You arepeting with Zhan Chen! In what aspects?", Fu Deming felt strange. It was hard to believe that a senior emperor like Huang Mei waspeting with a junior like Zhan Chen.


    "It is an Alchemy challenge. That brat has given an interesting offer. So, I have no need to reject him", Huang Mei replied. Other emperors exchanged nces with eachother as they found the matter inconceivable.An eighteen year junior disciple actually able to convince Huang Mei topete with him!


    Huang Mei looked like a charming witch but actually she was a proud woman. Many times she would reject the offers of emperors to concoct pills for them. Her standard was very high when it came to alchemy. Many of her own nsmen cursed her behind her back. She had earned a nickname for herself in the Centralnd. ''The ck hearted witch''.


    ''This brat is talented in alchemy also? What else he can do?'', Fu Deming mused to himself. He decided to observe the contest between Zhan Chen and Huang Mei if he got a chance.


    Inside the small mansion, Shui Liying continued to ride Zhan Chen''s dragon. There was a look of tiredness on her beautiful face but she continued to ride ride Zhan Chen''s dragon with a determined expression.


    ''Husband, you can cultivate as much as you want. I will continue to do it even if you take several days'', Shui Liying thought to herself. There was boundless love and deep attachment in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    There was droplets of sweat on her forehead as she rode Zhan Chen. Her majestic peaks were bouncing beautiful as she moved her waist up and down. Suddenly, she felt a reaction from Zhan Chen''s dragon and a gentle smile appeared on her face. She moved like nothing happened and Zhan Chen''s dragon throbbed inside her cave. Her cave walls squeezed more tightly as the throbbing of Zhan Chen''s dragon increased. Finally, a great amountva came out from the throbbing dragon as it pained her cave walls white. It had been three times already since he began riding Zhan Chen. Her cave waspletely sticky now with Zhan Chen''s essence inside her cave. She moved her waist few times before she released her yin essence once again. She had lost count of how many time she had released her yin essence while riding Zhan Chen.


    She felt more tired but it didn''t lessen her passion andmitment. She moved her waist continuously while Zhan Chen was busy in hisprehension.

 Chapter 401 Undercurrent

    Zhan Chen observed the ethereal yin and yangw for a while. He felt he gained something but he couldn''t exactly tell what aspects of yinyangw, he had learned. The state of deep meditation vanished as soon as he felt he gained something from observing the mysterious Yinyang diagram on his dantian.


    To his absolute delight, the flow of yang energy entering his body became almost double as soon as he came out from the deep state of meditation. He felt more resonance with the yin energy and yang energy after gaining enlightenment about yinyangw.


    "Wow! Howfortable. I can''t beleive the beginner stage is so much superior to the rudimentary stage", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He had been struck at the rudimentary stage since he had started the Celestial yinyang Sutra. It was only now, he could jump to the beginner stage thanks to Shui Liying.


    Zhan Chen opened his eyes and looked towards Shui Liying. He saw the exhausted look on her face and a look of understanding appeared on his face.


    "Liying, how much time it has been? I am in a deep state of cultivation. So, I do not how much time passed since we have started", he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Husband, it is only quarter of a day. Do you manage to get any breakthrough in this period?", Shui Liying asked in return.


    "Yes, I have managed to get a breakthrough in my cultivation technique but I have not predicted that it would take so long. Fortunately, you are an emperor. Otherwise, you couldn''t have sustained such a long period of cultivation with me", Zhan Chen spoke. He had a look of gratitude on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying. It was the first instance when one of his women strained herself so much for his sake.


    "Liying, thank you", he spoke with a sincere expression on his face.


    "Husband, do you want me to stay here or shall I move? It is slightly ufortable after sitting in one position for so long", Shui Liying asked. There was a small smile stered on her face after she received the sincere gratitude of Zhan Chen.


    "We should stop now. Both of us can take a little rest before continuing again", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying separated herself after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. A line of white slid out from her cave when she rolled over to bed.


    Zhan Chen felt a surging current of energy coursing through his body after he got a breakthrough in the Celestial yinyang Sutra. The rudimentary stage of the Celestial yinyang Sutra was already tyrannical as it provided him with an inhumane potency and vigour. The beginning stage which he had recently acheived was superior to the rudimentary stage. So, one could only imagine the vigour and potency, it would provide him.


    The beginning stage had many advantages but it had stricter requirements as well. It would increase his desire for women and he may face bacsh if he didn''t assimte yin energy for a longer period.


    Zhan Chen took a look at his own little brother and a helpless smile appeared on his face. His little brother was throbbing with energy since he managed to get a breakthrough in his cultivation technique. He was feeling an impulse to grab Shui Liying once again but he controlled himself after seeing the exhaustion on her face.


    Shui Liying was looking like an otherworldly fairy as she lied at his side. She had closed her eyes and there was peaceful expression on her beautiful face. After few moments, sound of even breathing came out and Zhan Chen knew, she had fallen asleep.


    ''It is good for her to take a little rest. Let me see how beneficial her primordial yin energy is for my cultivation'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He left the stone bed and sat on the ground. The mysterious Yinyang diagram lit up faintly as soon as he circted the Celestial yinyang Sutra.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    -------------------


    In a pitch ck world engulfed in devilish energy, a gigantic pce was floating in mid air. It had an imposing presence and it was casting a long shadow upon the destendscape. The pce seemed to defy gravity, suspended by some unknown force, exuding an aura of darkness and power.


    There was a majestic hall inside the floating pce. The hall''s architecture embodied a twisted blend of elegance and malevolence. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes of chaos and destruction, while the ceiling was adorned with ominous, flickering ck mes that emitted an eerie glow.


    Several fierce-looking experts were guarding the hall. Their varied appearances giving away their identities as the demonic beings. Few had horns on their heads, few had wings on their back, few had glowing eyes which could suck away the soul of other beings. Overally, they looked like a group of nightmare who only appeared in the worst dreams of human cultivators.


    At the end of themajestic hall, a grand staircase could be sighted. It led to a raised tform where a magnificent throne was located.


    At this moment a mighty looking expert was sitting on the throne. He was not exuding any aura but all the demon experts below the stair case had an reverant expression on their faces when they looked towards him.


    As the devil emperor sat upon his throne, a devil expert entered the main hall. He walked in strides and stopped only after reaching the nearest location to the stair case.The other devils shifted their attention and looked towards the new arrival with curious eyes.


    The devil expert knelt before the staircase, his head bowed in deference infront of the emperor.


    "Ying Shao, rise. Tell me why do youe to see this emperor?", the emperor asked.


    "Your majesty, I have bring news from the Seven Sea World. The humans there are fiercely resisting the advances of our Abhorst Empire. They have formed alliances and fortified their defenses", the devil expert replied. He briefed the emperor about the situation in the Northern desert continent.


    The devil emperor listened silently, his expression inscrutable. He stayed silent for a moment before looking below. He took a look at all of his trusted subordinates before settling his gaze on a tall robust looking devil.


    "Cui Ming, step out" the emperor spoke. The tall devil walked out from the corner and gave a bow to the emperor.


    "Go to the Seven sea World immediately. You may take our army with you. If you want, you can bring experts from various grottos and sects. I only want one thing. Northern desert continent need to be conquered before the Archaic pce opens", the emperor spoke.

 Chapter 402 Launching An Early Attack

    Zhan Chen operated the Celestial yinyang Sutra and the mysterious Yinyang diagram on his dantian lit up. He could now observe few of its mechanisms after gaining some enlightenment about the operating of yinyangw.


    The working of mysterious Yinyang diagram was extremelyplex and wonderous. Zhan Chen felt he need to have a deeper understanding about the Yinyangw before he could grasp any of the functional principles of the mysterious Yinyang diagram.


    "Let''s keep it aside for now. I need to focus on my cultivation first", Zhan Chen thought to himself. The mysterious Yinyang diagram started to send pure streams of essence energy after he ended his observation.


    The energy was pure and came like a gushing flood. Zhan Chen circted the energy all over his body and condensed them into energy droplets. His energy sea gradually filled to bring and threatened to spill over at any moment. Zhan Chen knew it was an opportunity and pushed forward with his cultivation. There was no resistance and his energy sea got erged as a result. He broke through to fifth stage of Martial ascension realm within half an hour of cultivation.


    Shui Liying who was sleeping peacefully opened her eyes and took a look at Zhan Chen. A look of surprise appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. ''What a powerful aura! Husband is atleast a mid Martial ascension realm expert'', she thought to herself.


    Zhan Chen didn''t stop cultivating as the pure streams of essence energy still came like a gushing flood. The flow of energy didn''t lessen even after he broke through to the fifth stage of the Martial ascension realm.


    ''Liying is ate emperor realm expert. So, it is not a surprise that her primordial energy is pure and contain so much yin energy'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He was more than happy to receive so much pure yin energy. He didn''t let himself get distracted and continued to push his cultivation.


    Droplets after droplets of pure essence energy fell into his energy sea. Zhan Chen continued to operate the Celestial yinyang Sutra and his cultivation soared at a breathtaking speed.


    Shui Liying was at first surprised but a delighted expression appeared on her charming face after she observed Zhan Chen for a while. ''I should have expected this. There is no one more talented than husband in our Xuantian sect'', she thought to herself.


    She was looking at Zhan Chen with an infatuated expression when her expression suddenly changed. She quickly put on her robe and flew out of the small mansion.


    There were several emperors standing in the skies. There was a grave expression on each of their faces as they looked towards the distant.


    "Junior sister Liying, where have you been?", Huang Mei asked. Few emperors of the Xuantian sect also looked towards Shui Liying after seeing her flying towards them.


    "I am taking a little rest. Why have you all gathered here?", she looked towards all the emperors present. Few looked towards her when she arrived but immediately they shifted their gazes towards the distant sky.


    Shui Liying felt curious and shifted her gaze to the distant. Her expression became grave as well after she saw the changes in devils'' side.


    There were spatial fluctuationing from thergest spatial crack. One after another ferocious looking devils were emerging as the already present devils were cheering for them.


    Shui Liying quickly scanned through the devil army and a frown appeared on her face. The strength of devil army was increasing rapidly with the outpour of neers from the spatial crack.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "We need to crush them before they be a toorge of a threat", an emperor spoke. He took a look towards Fu Deming after finishing his line. There were seven emperors floating in the sky. Three were from the Xuantian sect, four were from the other sects of the Centralnd. All of them hade to assist the Xuantian sect. So, it was obvious that they wouldn''t take the initiative to face the devil army. It was upto the Xuantian sect to make a n and lead everyone against the devil army. So, the emperor looked towards Fu Deming for his opinion.


    "Junior brother Yukong, what do you think?", Fu Deming looked towards a middle-aged man by his side. The middle-aged man was the famous zing sword of the Xuantian sect. He was the peak master of the Sword peak whose acheivement in sword was currently unrivalled in the Centralnd.


    "Senior brother, I propose an early attack from our side. There is no need for us to give them time to assemble their force", Yang Yukong spoke. His eyes were burning with battle intent as he looked towards Fu Deming.


    "Very well, do as you please. Remember to be careful when you are close to the devil army", Fu Deming spoke.


    "I am also going", another emperor who had suggested to attack the devils, volunteered.


    "Brother Bai, let''s go", Yang Yukong nodded towards the emperor. Both of them flew towards the distant before vanishing from eveyone''s eyes.


    It was a scene of excitement and enthusiasm in devil''s side. All of them were talking with eachother excitedly and there was a fervour in each of their eyes when they looked towards thergest spatial crack in the sky.


    Various kinds of vicious devils kepting from the spatial crack and the devils'' army became strengthened with each passing moment.


    ''Watch out'', suddenly a sten shout came from the distant. The female emperor from the devils'' side came charging towards the outer periphery riding her beast pet.


    Two attacks came crashing towards the devil army simultaneously. One attack was a ming red sword sh. Another attack was a green coloured energy dragon. The female expert from the devils'' side decided to stop the ming sh but her expression changed when she sensed the energy behind the sh.


    She hurriedly swung her sawtooth sword and a pitch ck sh crashed towards the ming sword attack. Surprisingly, her sh couldn''t touch the ming red sh. The ming red n increased its speed at the exact moment when her sh was about to collide with it.


    "Boom!", a loud sound erupted as the green coloured energy dragon collided with the gathering of the devils. The devils present at the colliding spot couldn''t even let out a shriek as the green energy dragon collided with their bodies.


    Compared to green energy dragon, the ming red sword sh was more treacherous. It attacked the devils from a horizontal angle and cut apart almost hundred devils in an instant. None of the devils who got caught in the attack, could left behind an intact body. Their torn apart bodies got charred after the ming red sh swept across them.


    "Human scums!", the female emperor from the devils'' side clenched her fist with an enraged expression. She felt slightly frustrated as well because she had yet to recover her full strength after her battle with Fu Deming.


    "Lady marquis, no need to bother about human experts. Let us handle them while you are recovering your strength", Ye Tianzun from the devils'' side hurried over to the sky. He knew reinforcement wasing. So, there was no point to risk the life of a devil marquis at this moment.

 Chapter 403 Might Of The Abhorst Empire

    Yang Yukong, the peak master of the Sword peak didn''t wait for Ye Tianzun and the female devil emperor to finish their conversation. He swung his sword from a distance and a ming red sword sh came crashing towards the devil army once again. The other emperor Hu Bai also shown himself and made his move. He brought forward both of his hands together andunched an attack.


    "Wind dragon breaks the mountain", he softly called out and a three meter tall green dragon appeared out of thin air. He swung his hand and the wind dragon came crashing towards the devil army.


    Ye Tianzun threw a mountain shaped treasure and tried to stop the ming red sh. The strang treasure managed to stop the attack but the resultant explosion tore apart many nearby devils. Ye Tianzun frowned slightly as he saw the dismembered devils in the ground. He shifted his gaze and saw six devil generals wereunching attack towards menacing looking dragon. He didn''t bother about them and shifted his gaze to focus on Yang Yukong.


    ''This treasure is slightly strange. ording to logic, it should have exhausted the essence energy of this devil but he seemed to be not affected at all'', Yang Yukong thought to himself. He clenched his sword and suddenly a sword hum resounded throughout the battlefield.


    "Brother Yukong is using his mastery over sword. Let''s see how these devils are nning to stop him now", Huang Mei softly muttered.


    The sword hum was long and resound. The swords of both human and devil cultivators'' felt restless as the sword hum spread over the battlefield.


    "Sword will!", a frown appeared on the face of female devil marquis. Even her sawtooth sword was feeling slightly restless after Yang Yukong used his mastery of the sword.


    "Lady marquis, what should we do?", Ye Tianzun asked with a worried expression. He was calm and collected untill now but the reaction from the swords made him slightly apprehensive.


    "Wait for reinforcement. There is nothing you can do in this situation",the devil marquis spoke calmly. Her gaze stay focused on Yang Yukong as she clenched her sawtooth sword more tightly.


    "Seventh move of the Xuantian sword; Holy Lotus brightens the sky", Yang Yukong muttered and waved his sword towards the distant sky.


    There were visible ripples in the air as essence energy converged from all the side. A blinding light spread throughout the battlefield and the devils couldn''t see anything for a moment.


    The blinding rays of light converged together and arge, sacred looking Lotus manifested in the sky. "It is the Light element! Someone actuallyprehends the Light element in this puny world", the devil generals muttered among themselves. A hint of fear appeared in few of their eyes as they looked at the lotus above their heads.


    "Rotate", Yang Yukong muttered and made a hand seal. The holy lotus started to rotate slowly and motes of light fell from its glowing body.


    "Don''t let the motes of light touch your body", Ye Tianzun roared out loudly. There was a grave expression on his face as he looked towards holy lotus.


    The lotus was standing at a very high location and sprinked numerous motes of light with a single rotation. The motes of light looked very pure and harmless but the devils avoided them with terror in their eyes.


    Many of them managed to avoid the motes of light but few were unlucky. Their bodies glowed as soon as the motes of light touched their bodies. "Aaaah", devils shriked loudly as their bodies started to burn on their own.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Their lifeless bodies fell to the ground after the glow receded. The holy lotus was rotating at a very slow rate and producing motes of light continuously. The female devil marquis and the devil generals had a grave expression on their faces as they looked towards the sky filled with motes of light.


    Few motes of light drifted towards the spatial crack and fell upon the newly emerging devils. Their bodies started to glow before they could understand what was going in the lower world. Hu Bai didn''t slow down after Yang Yukong took action. He swung his hand and numerous shes of wind came crashing towards the devil army.


    The situation became iparably grave for the devil army within blink of an eye. One of their devil marquis was critically injured and another was holding the fort despite serious injuries to her body. None of them could act at this moment when the the human emperors were showing their might.


    "Swoosh", a spear tore through the sky at the most vulnerable moment of the devils. Ye Tianzun and the devil marquis couldn''t even react when the spear reached the spatial crack with a breathtaking speed.


    The devils on the ground thought they were doomed but suddenly a powerful spatial fluctuation came from the spatial crack. A crimson hand materialized near the spatial crack and pped away the iing spear. The spear changed trajectory and flew towards the distant sky.


    "Humans, don''t be impatient. This king ising for you", an eerie voice came out from the spatial crack. The devil waited with baited breath and a shadow finally came out from the spatial crack. The shadow flickered for a moment before manifesting near the female devil Marquis.


    "He is the young lord of the Hua n. I don''t know why the upper echelons have send this mad man", the devils murmured among themselves. There was a terrified expression on their faces as they looked towards the recently emerged devil.


    "Beauty Yao, it has been a while. This king do not want to enter this lowly world but when I heard you are here, I havee hurriedly", the devil spoke with an infatuated expression. There was aburning desire in his eyes as he looked towards the devil marquis.


    "Hua Zhen Long, don''t push your luck. Even your Blood demon n can''t save you if you do anything funny", the devil marquis spoke coldly. Anger could be seen on her devilish face as she looked towards Hua Zhen Long.


    "Ahhhh", suddenly a screech came from a nearby devil. He couldn''t avoid a mote of light and fell prey to Yang Yukong''s technique.


    "Noisy", Hua Zhen Long muttered. He swept his hand and a red light approached the screeching devil. The devil became silent all of a sudden as his lifeless body fell on the ground.


    "Despicable! Why are you killing our own? If you have guts, then why don''t you try something funny with that human swordsman", the devil marquis spat out. There was visible disgust on her face as she looked towards Hua Zhen Long.


    "Mo Yao, I will do as you wish. I only want you to agree to my proposal and ept me as your man", Hua Zhen Long spoke.


    "In your dreams", the devil marquis retorted. Her stinger like tail danced in the air as she looked towards Hua Zhen Long. Hua Zhen Long merely smiled in response to Mo Yao''s rhetoric. His figure vanished as he appeared next to Hu Bai. Surprisingly, he chose not to take action against Yang Yukong rather he chose Hu Bai as his target.

 Chapter 404 Might Of The Abhorst Empire (2)

    Hu Bai couldn''t even react when Hua Zhen Long appeared infront of him. The speed of the newly emerged devil was so fast that even an emperor like Hu Bai failed to trace his movement.


    "Law glimpse realm expert, I wonder how your heart tastes like!", Hua Zhen Long asked with a smile. Before anyone could react, he thrusted his hand towards the chest of Hu Bai.


    Hu Bai was taken aback by the devil''s sudden movement. His first instinct was to flee but when he tried to move his body, he found that he was unable to do so. He watched with horror and disbelief as the devil thrusted his hand into his chest.


    "Wretched devil, you dare!", a furious cry rang out from a distance. It was the roar of Yang Yukong who was toote to act against the devil''s movement.


    A blinding crimson sh came crashing towards Hua Zhen Long who was in the midst of attacking Hu Bai. Hua Zhen Long merely smiled after seeing the rage filled shing towards him.


    He tossed Hu Bai towards the crimson sh and vanished from his location. "Damn it", Yang Yukong watched with disbelief as his own sh tore apart the body of hispanion.


    "Junior brother Yukong, calm down. Don''t give in to your emotions", Yang Yukong heard a deep voice next to his ears. He turned his head and found Fu Deming standing next to him. Fu Deming had a frown on his face as he looked towards Hua Zhen Long.


    Hua Zhen Long went back to his previous position after dealing with Hu Bai. He was holding a beating heart in his hand as he gave a taunting look to both Yang Yukong and Fu Deming. He struck out his tongue and gave a lick to the beating heart in his hand. A look of bliss appeared on his face as he savoured the taste of Hu Bhai''s heart.


    "Bastard!", Yang Yukong felt like he would die of rage if he suppressed himself any longer. His only thought was to rush forward and tore apart the sinister devil infront of him. Just when his rage was about to get uncontrolled, he felt a cooling sensation in his mind. It was Fu Deming who channeled some of his essence energy into body. Yang Yukong calmed down slightly after Fu Deming''s intervention.


    "This devil is not easy to deal with. We need to fall back", Fu Deming spoke. Yang Yukong was unwilling but he had to leave with Fu Deming.


    The human emperors stared in shock as Hua Zhen Long savoured Hu Bai''s heart slowly. Shui Liying felt shaken despite her experience as an emperor. She had never seen something so barbaric in her long years of life. The act of devils reminded her how cruel the cultivation world could be.


    "Senior brother Deming, why don''t you take action? The devils will feel much bolder after the fall of one of our emperor", Huang Mei asked with a puzzled expression. She couldn''t understand why Fu Deming didn''t do anything despite his overwhelming strength.


    "Junior sister Mei, have patience. That devil is not someone easy to deal with", Fu Deming spoke calmly. A hint of seriousness appeared on his face as he looked towards the spatial crack.


    "We don''t know how many devils are going to emerge this time. Let us observe them first. We can think of a n after getting a clear understanding of devils'' strength", Fu Deming added further.


    ----------------<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Zhan Chen who was cultivating inside the small mansion, oblivious about the dangerous situation. He kept circting the Celestial yinyang Sutra and his essenge energy pool continued to getrger.


    "Ti da!", drops of condensed essence energy fell into his energy sea as his cultivation soared with every passing moment. He pushed his cultivation through the fifth stage of Martial ascension realm and reached the sixth stage swiftly. His essence energy sea expanded again as his aura flourished.


    Zhan Chen was d to see that more than half of the energy, he had gained from Shui Liying was still left. So, he decided to push through and cultivate all the way to the seventh stage of the Martial ascension realm.


    The primordial yin essence of ate emperor realm expert like Shui Liying was really potent. Zhan Chen needed multiple times of essnce energy than a normal cultivator yet his cultivation still broke through two stages quickly after he dual cultivated with Shui Liying. There was still more than half of the energy left. So, Zhan Chen pushed through. His cultivation surged as he reached the peak of the sixth stage.


    Zhan Chen circted essence energy ording to the Celestial yinyang Sutra and the essence energy sea inside his body surged. It threatened to spill over as Zhan Chen added condensed drops of essence energy in his energy sea.


    Zhan Chen continued to cultivate and added new drops of essence energy in his energy sea. The borders of his essence energy sea finally felt strained as Zhan Chen continued to press them with his surging cultivation.


    "Snap!", finally something breaking upon was heard inside Zhan Chen''s body. The boundaries of his essence energy sea expanded as the overflowing drops of essence energy found a new outlet. Zhan Chen continued to cultivate patiently and added new drops of essence energy inside his energy sea.


    If it was some other cultivator, he would have stopped already. No matter how genius a Martial ascension realm cultivator was, he would have feel strained after raising his cultivation by one or two stages.


    The reason for this disparity was the consumption of mental and sprit energy. One needed to use his mental energy to condense the essence energy. One had to condense more than hundred drops of essence energy to raise a stage in Martial ascension realm. The higher the stages, the more essence energy drops were needed to raise the cultivation.


    That was the reason, people had to cultivate slowly even if they had abundant cultivation resources. Almost every cultivator was restrained by such a limitation but the exception was Zhan Chen regarding this matter. His soul was already at the peak of sage realm. His spirit energy was also abundant as he had already be a formation king in the Xuantian sect. So, he had no problem in condensing essence energy droplets as he continued to push his cultivation.


    Zhan Chen felt a huge bottleneck after pushing his cultivation to the peak of the seventh stage. He felt the essence energy he had was insufficient for pushing his cultivation to the Heavenly tribtion realm.


    Zhan Chen chose to stop after feeling the bottleneck. He circted the remaining esence energy inside his body before opening his eyes. He had a much deeper and mighty aura after he reached the peak of the Martial ascension realm. It had been only few hours yet he managed to push his cultivation from the middle of the Martial ascension realm to the peak of the Martial ascension realm.


    "I need to say thanks to Liying this time. Her help is tremendous. Without her, I would have needed much more time before reaching the peak of the Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

 Chapter 405 Giving A Helping Hand Without Knowing

    Zhan Chen sensed a barrier outside his room when he spread his soul consciousness. The barrier was a wood energy barrier and very powerful. Zhan Chen immediately guessed whose handiwork it would be.


    "Husband, you are finally awake", Zhan Chen heard the voice of Shui Liying inside his mind. He had already noticed one of her soul mark on the wooden energy barrier. So, it was not surprising that she found out after he ended his seclusion.


    "Liying, thanks for protecting me during my seclusion. I do not have anything to payback. So, I can only offer my body to you", Zhan Chen replied.


    Shui Liying who was floating along with other emperors blushed after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Her blush became deeper when she recalled her intimate moments with Zhan Chen.


    "Husband, be serious for once. The situation outside is getting out of hand quickly. I suggest you to leave the Yellow stone city as soon as possible while we have time", Shui Liying projected her voice.


    "Tell me, what happened?", Zhan Chen asked calmly. He could notice her concern for him from her voice.


    "Devils are getting stronger by each passing moment. There is an endless number of devils pouring out from the spatial crack as we are speaking. There are four more devil emperors in their side now. As for the Heavenly tribtion realm devils, their number has reached almost fifty", Shui Liying spoke. She once again urged Zhan Chen to leave the Yellow stone city after considering the grim situation awaiting for the human cultivators.


    "Undo the essence energy barrier. Let me check the condition first. If it is only emperor realm experts, the situation is not out of control yet", Zhan Chen replied. Shui Liying wanted to retort but he could see the confident expression on Zhan Chen''s face. She thought to herself for a moment before undoing the essence energy barrier.


    ''I can''t force him much but I can ensure his safety as long as I am alive'', Shui Liying thought to herself. A determined expression appeared on her charming face as she looked towards the surging devil force.


    Zhan Chen saw the unusual atmosphere inside the Yellow stone city after he walked out of the small mansion. He saw Shui Liying standing in the air along with other emperors. Her elder sister Huang Mei was also present with her. He saw their direction of gaze and found out that all of them were looking towards devil army. All of the emperors wore serious expression on their faces as they saw the surging devil forces infront of them.


    ''Looks like the situation is really grim. I need to see for once what is actually the situation'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He decided to take a risk and spread his soul consciousness.


    He was quite cautious in spreading his soul consciousness and increased his reach little by little. His soul consciousness gradually passed through the confine of the Yellow stone city and spread towards the battlefield.


    It took him few moments but he finally got to observe what the situation outside the Yellow stone city was like.


    The number of devils in the devil army had multipled while he was in seclusion. The weakest devil in the devil army had Core condensation realm cultivation. As for the Martial ascension realm sldevils, they were almost four hundred in numbers. As for the Heavenly tribtion realm devils, their number was close to fifty.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    A frown appeared on his face as he took a look at the gathered devil emperors. There were almost four new additions to their number.


    Two devil emperor had mid emperor realm cultivation. One hadte emperor realm cultivation as the for thest devil emperor who was standing next to a female devil emperor, his cultivation was at the peak of emperor realm.


    Zhan Chen felt the peak emperor was slightly peculiar as he looked towards the peak emperor closely. Suddenly, the peak emperor sensed something and tried to look back at the source of the soul consciousness. A scarlet light appeared in his eyes as he looked towards the boundaries of the Yellow stone city.


    Zhan Chen hurriedly retracted his soul consciousness and the devil found nothing but thin air. His soul consciousness linged on the city wall for a while before he retracted his soul consciousness. ''This devil is slightly troublesome. He has already pushed his soul strength to the early sage realm'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He was slightly surprised but someone was more surprised than him. It was the peak emperor realm devil expert, Hua Zhen Long. "What a scary soul consciousness. The person was atleast a peak Law Manifestation realm expert. Fortunately, the emperor has send some treasures to deal with such experts. Otherwise, our forces are like chicken and dogs infront of such an expert", Hua Zhen Long murmured to himself. His carefree expression was vanished as he decided to warn hispanions about the peak Law Manifestation realm expert.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know that his soul strength had helped the Yellow stone city somehow. The devils would be wary of his presence while attacking the Yellow stone city. It could give human cultivators some respite from the ruthless attacks of the devil army.


    "Liying, can youe down? I need to talk with you", Zhan Chen murmured. He knew Shui Liying was observing all of his actions. So, his words wouldn''t go unnoticed.


    "Husband, what is the matter? Where do you want me to meet with you?", Shui Liying asked. She could see the thoughtful expression on Zhan Chen''s face. So, she wanted to know what Zhan Chen was thinking.


    "Come to the mansion where both of us are dual cultivating", Zhan Chen spoke. He flew back to the mansion where both of them were staying.


    "Senior sister, I am going back to cultivate. Please inform me if there is anything urgent", Shui Liying spoke to Huang Mei. She was not keeping her voice low. So, other emperors could hear what she spoke to Huang Mei.


    They merely nced at her after hearing her words. It would not bother them if an emperor wanted to cultivate for a while. "Junior sister Liying, you can rest assured. Cultivate as much you want. I will inform if situation spiralled out of control", Huang Mei replied.


    Shui Liying nodded at her before flying towards the small mansion where she was staying earlier. Huang Mei only fmgave a nce to the small mansion before shifting her gaze to the devil army. There was no hindrance when Shui Liying met with Zhan Chen.


    "Husband, what do you want to speak with me?", Shui Liying asked after meeting Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 406 A Request

    "Liying, thanks again for your earlier help. Without you, I couldn''t have make a breakthrough in my cultivation technique", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a sincere and tender expression on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Husband, no need to say thanks. As your woman, it is the least I can do", Shui Liying replied. A little blush appeared on her face as she saw the tender expression in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Liying, my cultivation is stillcking to protect myself from the devils. I can run once but I can''t run forever. The only solution is to increase my strength", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a determined expression on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Husband, I understand what you say. But how can you increase your strength in a short period? It will be hard to leave once the devils started attacking", Shui Liying replied.


    "I have a way but I need your cooperation. If you help me, I can push my cultivation and find some ways to protect myself from the strongest devils", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, may I ask, what is your cultivation now?", Shui Liying looked atowards Zhan Chen with curiousity in her eyes. All along, Zhan Chen''s cultivation was a mystery for her. Everyone thought him as an early Core condensation realm cultivator but she thought otherwise after spending some time with Zhan Chen. ording to her estimation, Zhan Chen couldn''t be so weak as an early Core condensation realm cultivator.


    "You can check yourself. I have no intention to hide my cultivation from you", Zhan Chen spoke. He circted his essence energy and the aura of a peak Martial ascension realm cultivator leaked out from his body.


    "Husband, are you for real? How can you have a peak Martial ascension realm cultivation at your age?", Shui Liying asked with a baffled expression. The shock Zhan Chen gave to her was too great.


    "Let me correct your estimation. I am indeed at Martial ascension realm but I need some more umtion to reach the peak", Zhan Chen smiled softly.


    "Inconceivable. You are so young yet you are already at the peak of Martial ascension realm. If you make a breakthrough, you will reach Heavenly tribtion realm before reaching twenty", Shui Liying muttered.


    Zhan Chen felt her surprised expression too charming. He felt a little satisfied with himself that he could surprise this emperor realm beauty. He pulled her colser and pressed his against Shui Liying ''s.


    "Liying, will you help me now? It will take at most one day to push my cultivation to the peak of Martial ascension realm with your help", Zhan Chen looked towards Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying calmed down gradually. She looked towards Zhan who was looking at her with eager expression. "Husband, my decision is not wrong. Your brilliance will one day shock the entire Centralnd", Shui Liying spoke softly. She took the initiative herself and reached out for Zhan Chen''s lips.


    "Liying, it is unfortunate that I can''t help you with your cultivation now. But this will change once I break through to the Law glimpse realm", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband,no need to push yourself. You are still young. Don''t be surprised if it takes another ten yours for you to reach the emperor realm", Shui Liying spoke.


    "I don''t have that much time. A great cmity ising and I need strength to protect my loved ones including you", Zhan Chen spoke. He once again pressed his lips on Shui Liying ''s tender lips and tasted her sweet nectar.


    "Husband, what cmity you are speaking about?", Shui Liying asked after sharing a passionate kiss with Zhan Chen. She wanted to know what was bothering Zhan Chen so much.


    "Open your soul consciousness", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying felt baffled for a moment but he quickly let go of her barrier. A huge amount of information directly poured into her brain. Zhan Chen informed her about the Archaic pce and the impending arrival of peak experts for that asion. At that moment, even emperors would not be safe with the arrival of upper realm cultivators.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "This matter is huge. To think that, imperial family would lie to such an extent", Shui Liying eximed. A heavy expression appeared on her beautiful face as he digested all the information that Zhan Chen shared with her.


    "Husband, have you informed senior brother Deming?", Shui Liying asked.


    "No, you are the first to know about this matter. I will inform senior Deming at appropriate time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, let''s go to the previous room where we are staying", Shui Liying spoke. She blushed slightly as she invited Zhan Chen. She threw a look at Zhan Chen before walking towards the room where both of them had dual cultivated.


    She couldn''t be more clear about her aggreement to Zhan Chen''s proposal. Zhan Chen felt a fire litting up inside his heart as he saw her walking towards the room. He followed her leisurely and entered inside.


    Shui Liying started to disrobe herself infront of Zhan Chen. Faint desire could be seen in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen. "Husband, we have time untill devil army attacks", she spoke softly. She was d in her thin undergarments after taking out her robe.


    Zhan Chen took in a deep breath after seeing Shui Liying in her undergarments. Her beauty seemed to be magnified when she was wearing her thin undergarments. Her waist was thin and her skin was jadelike. Her beautiful curves were exposed after she removed her sect robe.


    Zhan Chen quickly removed his clothes and walked towards Shui Liying. An enchanting blush appeared on her face after she saw the mighty dragon below.


    Zhan Chen pulled down her lower garment and ced his hand on her sacred cave. He pulled her closer for a kiss while rubbing the entrance of her cave.


    Shui Liying reciprocated passionately and tried to match the movement of Zhan Chen''s lips. Masculine smell of Zhan Chen''s body intoxicated her mind as she exchanged saliva with Zhan Chen.


    "Liying, I am starting", Zhan Chen spoke. He ced his spear on her cave entrance before moving his waist.


    "Aaaah~", Shui Liying let out an involuntary moan. Her inside felt hot as Zhan Chen pushed his dragon inside. Both of them were still standing yet Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself. He started thrusting his dragon while Shui Liying let out involuntary moans.


    "Husband, let''s go to the bed", Shui Liying suggested after a while. Her bones felt soft as she struggled to stand straight. The pleasure coarsing through her body was overwhelming ans she wanted to lie down badly.


    "As you wish", Zhan Chen spoke and gave her a princess carry. He raised her legs and pressed his dragon against her cave entrance.


    He felt tightness all around from her cave but he still pushed. Her cave was like a tight stic tunnel which pressed his dragon from every direction. It was a wonderful sensation and Zhan Chen drowned himself in pleasure.


    "Thap! Thap! Thap", there was only the sound of flesh colliding and faint moans from Shui Liying which heard inside the room.

 Chapter 407 Grim Situation

    "Husband, you seem to be more energetic today!", Shui Liying spoke after swallowing the yang essence of Zhan Chen. It had been six hours since they started dual cultivation. Yet, Zhan Chen was still looking at her with burning eyes. She felt that Zhan Chen''s desire was increasing rather than reducing after so many hours of cultivation.


    "Liying, it is only natural. My cultivation technique demands more and with you beside me, I can''t stop myself", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, it seems like you are practicing a very powerful cultivator technique. I have never heard of any cultivation technique which can allow a male cultivator to dual cultivate six hours straight", Shui Liying spoke. She put her jade white hands on Zhan Chen''s dragon and started to stroke it slowly while waiting for Zhan Chen''s response.


    "My cultivation technique is indeed a wonderful technique. I have yet to feel any limitation when ites to dual cultivation", Zhan Chen admitted.


    "We are fortunate that your cultivation is high. Otherwise, we couldn''t have cultivated for this long", he further added. His eyes were full of desire as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Indeed, it is good. Every moment is wonderful when I get to stay by husband''s side", Shui Liying spoke. Her voice was like a married woman who was enjoying marital bliss everyday.


    "Liying, stand on your fours. It is difficult to control myself any longer", Zhan Chen spoke. His voice was slightly ragged as he looked towards the beauty on the bed.


    "As you wish", Shui Liying replied. She turned her graceful body and exposed her back to Zhan Chen.


    "I am starting", Zhan Chen warned her gently and pierced her entrance with his majestic dragon. Her light moans were like aphrodisiacs as it encouraged him to do more.


    "Pah! Pah! Pah", there was neverending thrusts from Zhan Chen as both Shui Liying and him got connected. It was a wonderful sensation of conqueorong a beauty and Zhan Chen couldn''t extract himself from this feeling. As an emperor, Shui Liying had nock of yin essence. She was getting more experienced and didn''t need any rest even after she released her yin essence.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know how much time passed as he was savourimg each and every moment. Finally, a triggering moment came and he burst inside Shui Liying ''s cave.


    Warm liquid filled Shui Liying ''s cave and a blissful expression appeared on her enchanting face. She was just turning her head to look at Zhan Chen when her expression changed. "Husband, I have to leave. Elder sister Mei is looking for me", she spoke to Zhan Chen.


    ----------------


    "How is this possible?" Shui Liying stood stunned for a moment after joining the other emperors in the sky. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she surveyed the scene unfolding before her.


    In the distance, a vast sea of devils stretched as far as the eyes could see, their sheer numbers overwhelming. Devilish aura was surging as all of them were looking towards the Yellow stone city with battle lust and malice in their eyes.


    Among the throngs of devils, Shui Liying detected numerous powerful auras emanating from their ranks. "There is actually ten emperor realm experts in their ranks", she murmured to herself with a shocked expression.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    As she swept her gaze across the devil army, Shui Liying noticed a diverse array of devil soldiers, each bearing their own unique appearance. Some devils possessed grotesque and monstrous features, with twisted horns, razor-sharp ws, and fangs protruding from their mouths. They exuded an aura of malice and brutality, embodying the essence of their demonic nature.


    Amidst the devil soldiers, she found few devils who had unique characteristics. A particr group caught his attention who seemed to be a group of devil beast tamers. These devil tamers were surrounded by fierce-looking beast creatures whose mere appearance could sent chills to the human cultivators.


    There were all sorts of beasts six meter long demonic pythons to scarlet demonic wolves. All of the beasts seemed ferocious as they snarled and prowled continuously.


    "Junior sister Liying, these beast tamers are not concerning as now. The truly problematic ones are standing in that direction", Huang Mei pointed towards a direction.


    Shui Liying looked over and saw few devils who appeared different from the rest. Other devils only had fear and respect towards these group of devils who appeared more sophisticated and intelligent than them. ''Noble devils'', a word suddenly appeared in the mind of Shui Liying.


    She had some knowledge about the situation among the devils. Unlike humans, devils had a strict hierarchy and social order. The most ordinary devil soldiers were called low rank devils. These devilscked the innate abilities and intelligence possessed by their higher-ranked counterparts. They primarily relied on their sheer numbers and ferocity to overwhelm their opponents in battle.


    The high-rank devils, on the other hand, were a step above the low-rank devils. They disyed greater strength, agility, and intelligencepared to the low rank devils. They were the evolved ones who lead the low rank devils into battle. They possessed some innate abilities but their scope was limited in scope.


    Above the high rank devils stood the noble devils who posed the greatest challenge and concern. They were the peak existences in the devil hierarchry and could bepared to the most outstanding cultivators of the human civilization.


    From the moment of their birth, each noble devil possessed innate abilities and talents that set them apart from their peers. These innate abilities, coupled with their exceptional intelligence, made them formidable opponents on the battlefield.


    "It is going to be troublesome", Shui Liying murmured softly with a worried expression on her face.


    "Senior Deming, what do you think?", an emperor turned his head to look towards Fu Deming. The situation was getting out of hand pretty quickly. So, all of the emperors feeling slightly panicked and stifled in their hearts.


    "We are already outnumbered by the devils. They also have more emperors than us. In such a situation, there is no point in being stubborn and put on a brave front. It is not like that we can''t give up on this city", Fu Deming replied calmly. Compared to other emperors, he appeared mostposed and rational.


    He took out a ordinary looking tailsman from his spatial ring but the expression of other emperors changes when they showed the characteristics of the tailsman. "A heaven grade tailsman!", few emperors muttered with surprise. The tailsman lit up with a brilliant gold colour as soon as Fu Deming sent his essence energy inside it.


    Fu Deming flicked his fingers and the tailsman went flying towards the distant sky. "We need to hold the line untill reinforcemente. Stay united. We will retreat together after Imperial family sends experts", he spoke in amanding voice.

 Chapter 408 Beginning Of The Chaos

    The spatial crack, stretching across arge portion of the distant sky, continued to flicker with a faint white light. With each passing moment, more and more devil soldiers poured through the crack, further bolstering the strength of the devil army.


    Within the Yellow Stone City, Fu Deming and the other emperors remained vignt while awaiting the reinforcements from the Imperial family. On the surface, devils seemed to be doing nothing other than organizing the new arrivals but behind the scenes, they were discussing an evil n, plotting their next move against the human cultivators.


    In an unremarkable corner of the devil camp, an elegant-looking devil emperor stood amidst a group of fellow devils. His sharp eyes had a strange glow as hemunicated with nearby devil experts. His actions werepletely hidden as he was using mentalmunication to talk with other devil experts.


    "Zu Hao, I want you to lead your group of shadow devils and lie in wait for the human cultivators. Find a good location far from the Yellow stone city and ensure your presence remains undetected," the elegant devil emperormanded. He sent a mental message to a scarlet haired man after talking with Zu Hao. "Leng Wei, you will follow Zu Hao and ensure nothing untoward happened."


    As the elegant looking devil emperor issued his orders, he received a message from another devil expert. "Kai Zixuan, what are you nning? Is the game big enough for me to participate?", the devil expert asked. The elegant looking devil emperor unhurriedly took a nce towards a distant location and his lips curled up slightly. ''Looks like this old devil can''t contain himself anymore'', he mused to himself.


    "Old Ma, have some patience. It is only the beginning. I can understand your eagerness but we can''t alert the experts at human side. Let the shadow devils y some tricks first. It will be enough as long as we can ughter few of their experts", the elegant looking emperor, Kai Zixuan replied.


    ----------------


    Close to half an hour passed and Zhan Chen finished his cultivation. "Finally at the peak of Martial ascension realm. I just need an opportunity and I can push my cultivation to the Heavenly tribtion realm", Zhan Chen muttered to himself. He recalled the urgency on Shui Liying''s face when she left earlier. So, he decided to check on her.


    Zhan Chen walked out of the small mansion and found Shui Liying standing amidst the group of emperors. There was a worried expression on each emperor''s face as they looked towards the direction of the devil army.


    The sky outside had already changed colour with the surging devil energy. The bright sky was slowly turning dim as the sun was covered by the surging devilish cloud. ''I should take a look at the devil army. With so much devilish energy, there must be many experts from the Abhorst empire'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He spread his soul consciousness cautiously and probed the devil army.


    ''So many Emperor realm experts! It is already beyond the ability of the Xuantian sect to handle such a situation'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He noticed almost twelve emperor realm experts with surging devil aura. As for the Heavenly tribtion realm experts, their number was astronomical. Zhan Chen didn''t bother to take a look at the Heavenly tribtion realm experts. He took a good look at devil army''s overall strength before retracting his soul consciousness.


    "Husband, you have to escape as soon as you find a chance. The situation is already dire. We will fall back after the reinforcement from the Imperial family arrive", Shui Liying sent a mental message to Zhan Chen. She had been keeping an eye on the small mansion. So, she immediately noticed after Zhan Chen left his cultivation room.


    "Reinforcement? Has the imperial family agreed?", Zhan Chen asked with a curious expression. He thought sage realm experts from the Xuantian sect would have to intervene to ensure the safety of human cultivators.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "There is no need to alert the Ancestoral peak. They wille to help only if it is an unsalvageable situation. As for the imperial family, they can''t shrink from their responsibility. If they dy any further, no one can save the Earth province. It will be a disaster not only for our Xuantian sect but it will be also jeopardize the safety of entire Centralnd. The Imperial family is not willing to see such a situation. So, they have to send reinforcement even if they are not willing", Shui Liying exined.


    "What should we do now?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Wait for senior brother Deming''smand", Shui Liying replied.


    Timepsed at its usual speed. Nothing happened for a while as the cultivators of the Yellow stone city waited for the reinforcement from the imperial Xie family. Few cultivators in the Yellow stone city became optimistic and thought that devils were not going to attack before theypletely organized the devil army.


    "How naive!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself after hearing the soft murmurs around him. Instead of preparing themselves for a tough battle, few people were hoping that their luck would favour them.


    He was waiting silently near the small mansion when his expression changed suddenly. He received an urgent signal from the two devil generals whom he had enved earlier.


    "Everyone, pay attention. It is finally beginning. We need to defend the city untill reinforcement arrives", Fu Deming announced. He was quite cautious and noticed the movement of devils'' just after Zhan Chen received the message from the two enved generals.


    Ground trembled as the devil army suddenly started to move forward. They looked scattered at first but they quickly organized themselves. The devil army was led by the eighteen devil generals who had arrived earlier than the emperor realm experts.


    Each devil general was leading arge group of devil warriors as they headed towards the city wall of the Yellow stone city. Upon arriving before the city wall, each devil general changed direction and encircled the Yellow stone city with their devil subordinates.


    "How swift!", Zhan Chen eximed in surprise. Even Fu Deming, the most respected expert among the human emperors was shocked by the swift mobilization of the devil army.


    "We should have expected this. With so much emperors in their side, how can they let us retreat safely", an emperor in the Yellow stone citymented.


    All the emperors in the Yellow stone city were watching the movement of devil army but they couldn''t prevent them from encircling them. The reason was extremely simple. They werepletely outnumbered by the emperors in the devil side. In such a case, they need to tread cautiously because the devil emprors may take advantage of their supremacy in numbers and gang up on a human emperor who dare to leave the protective formation of the Yellow stone city.

 Chapter 409 Reinforcement

    The devil army tightly encircled the Yellow stone city while the human cultivators anxiously awaited the arrival of reinforcements. The devils continuously strengthened their positions but didn''t take the initiative tounch an attack on the Yellow stone city.


    As nervousness grew among the human cultivators, a sudden sound of marching caught their attention. All eyes turned towards the distance where they saw golden dots appearing in the distant sky. The golden dots gradually erged and appeared as glorious looking war banners. Gigantic flying ships came flying towards the Yellow stone city and the fluttering war banners caught the attention of both humans and devils alike.


    "It is the imperial army!"


    "We are saved!" voices echoed through the Yellow Stone City, a wave of relief washing over the cultivators. They knew that the arrival of the imperial army would rescue them from the seize.


    The marching of the ground troops heard across the battlefield as they gradually revealed themselves in the distant horizon. The forward marching troops were riding Cold steel horses, a kind of magical beasts which were known for their speed and resilience.


    Shui Liying, Huang Mei and the other emperors observed the approaching imperial army with a look of anticipation on their faces. They exchanged nces and a look of relief appeared on their faces.


    "Finally, they are here", Shui Liying murmured.


    "It took them long enough. I have started to doubt the sincerity of the imperial army", another emperormented.


    "They have to show up even if they don''t want. If the Earth province falls, the next in line will be the Dragon province. The imperial family wouldn''t like to face such a scenario", an aged looking emperormented. There was a hint of mockery hidden in his words.


    "Senior brother Deming, what should we do now?", Shui Liying inquired. Other emperors also looked towards Fu Deming as he was their nominal head.


    "Wait and watch. We will see the response of the imperial army. We will coordinate with them after they take the initiative", Fu Deming replied.


    "Ying Chao, gather the group leaders who have led our disciples into battle. Instruct them to prepare their groups and be ready to escape as soon as they receive our signal", Fu Deming sent a mentalmunication.


    -----------------


    "Boom", a defeating sound was heard as a flying ship fired an energy attack towards the devil army. The ground caved in and a portion of devil army obliterated in an instant.


    "What is that?", Yin Ran muttered with a surprised expression on her face. She looked towards her two sisters, Hui Ling and Xue Yi and found them as shocked as she was.


    "Sister Ran, these are the attacks from the magical cannons installed in the sky grade ships of the imperial army", the leader of their group exined. The leader was a mature looking disciple with a calm look on his face.


    "Boom! Boom!", the magical cannons rained down fire as the formation of the devils immediately disturbed. Six sky grade flying ships attacking at once was a disastrous cmity for the devil army. Devils escaped here and there and the area outside the Yellow stone city became chaotic.


    "Charge ahead. Clear a way for the Xuantian sect cultivators", a general of the imperial armymanded. He swung his hand forward and the soldiers behind him charged towards the Yellow stone city.


    "ng!", the sound of weapons colliding was heard as the imperial army and the devil army collided. The devils were already at a disadvantage after they bear the brunt of the magical cannons. They couldn''t resist the imperial army steadily as the armoured soldiers advanced.


    "Prepare to escape the city at any moment. No one is allowed to act independently without the permission from your group leader", Ying Chao spoke. He took a look at every group leaders including Zhan Chen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Zhan Chen was standing with his one hundred and fifty odd group members. Every Xuantian sect disciple was standing orderly behind their group members as they listened to instructions of Ying Chao.


    "Senior, Can I brought three more person with me?", Zhan Chen asked after Ying Chao finished speaking.


    "You may", Ying Chao spoke. "Prepare to leave at any moment", he instructed before flying towards the city wall.


    Zhan Chen looked towards the group with whom Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xie Yi were standing. He unhurriedly walked towards them and approached their group leader.


    "Senior borther Chen, I am Gui Tu. How many I help you?", the calm looking group leader asked. He was slightly puzzled because he never had a conversation with Zhan Chen.


    "I want to take three person from your group. Will it trouble you?", Zhan Chen looked towards the group leader.


    "No, three person is nothingpared to such arger group", Gui Tu replied.


    "Thanks", Zhan Chen cupped his fists as well. He took a look towards Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi and all of them understood what he wanted. Yin Ran and Hui Ling were blushing slightly and were happy but Xue Yi felt slightlyplicated. She still decided to follow her sisters as they walked towards Zhan Chen.


    "No can say what will happen in a war. So, it is best to stay close", Zhan Chen softly spoke. He threw a look towards Xue Yi before leading the three girls towards his group.


    "What is the rtionship of these three with senior brother Chen? To think, he personallye to fetch them", few girls in the previous group of Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi murmured among themselves. There was an envious expression on their faces as they saw Xue Yi, Yin Ran and Hui Ling following Zhan Chen.


    "These three are a step ahead of us. Particrly, Yin Ran and Hui Ling. I have heard that they have got a fortuitous encounter and found some heavenly pills. But now I am certain that their fortuitous encounter is senior brother Chen. He most have helped these two to increase their cultivation", a girl exined. Her living quarter was close to Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi. So, she knew more than others how Hui Ling and Yin Ran broke through to Martial ascension realm in a short period.


    Few girls were still curious but suddenly they heard defeating soundsing from the city outskirt. It was the flying ships of the imperial army who rained down another round of fire at the devils.


    The ceize outside the eastern gate loosened up considerably. Devils were running here and there to save their own lives. Even the devil general leading them, fell back to avoid the rain of attacks.


    "It is our best chance. Xuantian sect disciples, charge ahead", Ying Chao shouted. He had received instructions from Fu Deming. So, he gave the gree signal for the group leaders to escape the Yellow stone city.


    "There is a problem here. Fight should not be this easy. But regardless, it is a good chance", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He felt fighting with the devils should not be this easy as it appeared on surface. But he was not the decision maker here. Moreover, he couldn''t point out exactly what was wrong with retreating now. So, he decided to follow sect instructions and led his group towards the outskirts of the Yellow stone city.

 Chapter 410 Disbelief

    The Xuantian sect disciples pressed forward, taking advantage of the chaos that had enveloped the devil army. The battlefield was a scene of ughter and violence. Devils, once organized and united, now became hesitant and scattered. The ground was littered with the bodies of both Soldiers and devils as the sh between the devil army and the imperial army was continued.


    "Puchi!", a Xuantian sect disciple managed to stab the chest of a devil while defending his group from the harassment of the devils. Who knew, the devil whose chest was stabbed, managed to muster up a terrifying attack before dying. The devil swung it''s schimitar and managed to behead the Xuantian sect disciple before dying. The Xuantian sect disciple who was still in a battle ready posture, walked forward a little with his headless body before falling on the dusty ground.


    "Shi!", few members of Zhan Chen''s group took in cold breath as they watched the gruesome scene infront of them. Thest attack of the devil was too terrifying which resulted in mutual destruction.


    Blood flew everywhere as the battle raged on. The imperial army was mighty but the devils were no easy pushover. They erupted with terrifying strength after being cornered by the imperial army.


    ¡¤?¦Èm Xuantian sect disciples who were sneaking out amidst the choatic battle, bear the brunt of berseking devils. These devils were very few in number but they showed their bersek strength in such helpless situation. Xuantian sect disciples were brave but they paled infront of the ferocious and bloodthirsty nature of the cornered devils. The path ahead was ardous and full of danger as the Xuantian sect disciples tried to leave the battlefield.


    "Be cautious! Don''t stray from the group!" Zhan Chenmanded as a serious expression appeared on his face. He could easily wade through the battlefield but it was not so easy for his group members. As the leader of his group, it was his duty to ensure the safety of hispanions.


    "Zhen Yuan, I am assigning you the rear. Act cautiously and fend off any attack thates in our way", Zhan Chen looked towards a in looking youth. Except him, this in looking youth was the most powerful among his group members.


    "Yin Ran, Hui Ling, both of you are Martial ascension realm cultivators. It will be a pity if we don''t use your strength properly", Zhan Chen spoke. He was not nning to expose both Hui Ling and Yin Ran to danger but the situation ahead of him forced his hand.


    Zhan Chen knew,he alone wouldn''t be sufficient to protect his group if some unseen problems arsoe. The group he was leading was a huge group. Thus, it needed proper coordination and strategy to seed as a group. Zhan Chen was a imperial prince in his past life. So, leading and organising few person was the least he could do.


    "Senior brother, please tell us what to do. We will be happy to help out", Yin Ran and Hui Ling spoke. Both of them were quite enthusiastic to share some burden on Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen assigned them to protect the sides while he and Zhen Yuan would guard the front and rear respectively. He did few more tweaks in his groupbination before approaching the core area where the battle was most intense.


    "Look, it is another group of humans", a devil alerted hispanions. They were fighting with a group of Xuantian sect disciples when Zhan Chen''s group approached them.


    "Ga..Ga..Ga, another group of human kids. It will be nice to sample their meat", suddenly a jarringughter came out. A hulking figurended suddenly infront of Zhan Chen''s group.


    There was a malicious aura around the hulking devil. Few Xuantian sect disciple felt weak in their knees when the devil looked towards them.


    "I choose you", the hulking devil looked towards a young girl who was standing next to Hui Ling. He brought out his scarlet tongue and took a lick of his own lips while looking towards the girl.


    "Save...!", the girl felt unprecedented fear when the devil looked towards her. She could see countless souls leaping across the body of the hulking devil. These souls all were screaming and howling as they tried to struggle free from the hulking devil.


    The girl felt her mind would copse if the devil looked at her any longer. She felt despair as she slowly list control of her body and mind.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Ga.ga..ga. That is the way. Be a good girl and obedientlye over. I promise this old man will properly savour your meat after killing you", the devil spoke maliciously. He was not even looking at other members in the group as he focused his eyes on the girl.


    "Enough! Is bullying the weak fun?", suddenly a cold voice interrupted the hulking devil. The hulking devil felt surprised for a moment because his soul technique was broke as soon the word came.


    He shifted his eyes and looked towards the source of the words. It was Zhan Chen who was looking at him with an expressionless face.


    "Brat, what if I bully the weak? Do you think you can stop this old man", the hulking devil narrowed his eyes. He focused her sinister eyes on Zhan Chen as a ck light appeared in his eyes.


    "What a strange brat!", the hulking devil murmured after examining Zhan Chen. He couldn''t make out the cultivation of Zhan Chen no matter how much he tried to probe him.


    "You have sessfully piqued my interest", the devil spoke as a glint appeared on his face.


    "Everyone, surround this group. Kill everyone except my prey. I will personally collect my prey after dealing with this brat", the devil spoke.


    "We obeymand Jun. Let''s kill these human scums", the devils behind the hulking devil shouted. Zhan Chen frowned slightly and took out a sword from his spatial ring. The nearby devils around his group forced him to wield his sword.


    "Attack", the hulking devil spoke coldly. His subordinates rained down attacks from all the side while he threw a palm strike towards Zhan Chen.


    "Mountain breaking sh", Zhan Chen spoke slowly. He waste tounch his sword strike but his attack immediately shed appart the essence energy palm infront of him.


    An unparalleled sword aura came out from his body as he looked towards the hulking devil. The hulking devil felt some fear when Zhan Chen looked towards him. Zhan Chen retracted his sword aura as soon as he unleashed it.


    "Brat, you are indeed strange. It is better to remove you first before dealing with other human scums", the hulking devil shouted.


    He was just preparing to attack Zhan Chen when a dazzling light blinded him for a moment. "Illuminating the sky", a voice came amidst the dazzling light. Even Zhan Chen''s own group members got blinded for a moment before getting their vision back.


    "How is this possible?", the hulking devil cried out. Countless holes were pierced through his body, the moment he got blinded by the dazzling light. His life force flew away rapidly.


    "Thud!", finally a resounding sound was heard as the hulking devil crashed to the ground. There was no sign of life on his body as he lie on the battlefield.


    "Commander Jun!", the devils felt horrified after seeing theirmander dying like this. The hulking devil,mander Jun had a deep cultivation. He was almost unrivalled below Heavenly tribtion realm. Due to certainplications, he had never tried to step into the Heavenly tribtion realm. His umtion was so vast that even early Heavenly tribtion realm warriors feared him. Yet today, a tender young man yed this formidablemander Jun with one single strike. Devils felt their heart pounding in fear when they looked towards the indifferent expression of Zhan Chen. They decided to flee despite how courageous and tyrannical they were.

    Chapter 411 Lurking danger


    "Senior brother Chen, are you alright?", Hui Ling asked out in concern. Zhan Chen''s expression was slightly pale after heunched the ''Illuminating the sky'' technique.


    "No need to worry. I have just overdrawn my energy", Zhan Chen spoke. He circted the Celestial yinyang Sutra while leading his group forward.


    The girl who was targeted by the hulking devil earlier, looked towards Zhan Chen with gratitude in her eyes. The figure of Zhan Chen who was leading them from the front, became erged in her heart. "I will definitely show my gratitude to senior brother after we leave the battlefield", she thought to herself.


    "Everyone, be alert. Don''t let the devils sneak attack you. Our priority is to leave the battlefield while ensuring the safety of every member in our group", Zhan Chen spoke. He urged his group members to don''t let their guard while being surrounded by the devils.


    They gradually left behind the core region and their tightknit defence attracted the attention of few devil warriors. "We should not allow this group to go unscathed. Their leader is the one responsible for old devil Zu''s death", a devil spoke to hispanions. Unlike some bersek devils, these group of devils seemed more intelligent as they calmly judged the battle.


    "In that case, let''s make a move. There is no need to sh with their leader directly. We can target some weaker human cultivators", another devil chimed in. His eyes glowed with a sinister hue as he looked towards Zhan Chen''s group.


    The devil turned into a scarlet streak as he approached Zhan Chen''s group. His speed was unbelievable as it took only a moment for him approach Zhan Chen''s group.


    Zhen Yuan was very cautious as he protected his group from the behind. He noticed a streak of scarlet rapidly approaching his group. "Show yourself", he shouted sternly andunched a strike towards the scarlet streak. But the scarlet light moved erratically and dodged Zhen Yuan ''s strike.


    "Pu!", a Core condensation realm cultivator threw up blood as a hand pierced his chest. A look of disbelief and terror appeared on his face as he tried to turn his head. The devil clenched his fist and crushed the heart of the human cultivator. The Xuantian sect disciple could not even know who attacked him before he died.


    "Bastard", Zhen Yuan roared in anger after he saw the scene infront of him. Heunched another sword strike towards the devil but the devil turned into a scarlet streak once again. He materialized before another Xuantian sect disciple and thrusted his hand towards the disciple''s chest.


    He had a sinister smile on his face as he was nning to kill another Xuantian sect disciple. His hand was just an inch away from the Xuantian sect disciple''s chest when his body froze suddenly.


    It was only a split moment but it was enough for Zhan Chen to make his move. He stabbed his sword towards the devil''s neck after restraining the devil sessfully. The devil had no way to resist the attack as his soul was being suppressed by Zhan Chen''s soul consciousness.


    Blood flew like a fountain as Zhan Chen opened up a hole in the neck of the devil. The Xuantian sect disciple copsed on the ground due to the terror and stress he felt earlier. His heart threatened to leap out of his chest after he experienced absolute terror and despair. "Are you okay?", Zhan Chen took a look at the Xuantian sect disciple. He could understand how terrified the Xuantian sect disciple most be after experiencing such a close death scenario.


    "Senior brother, I am fine. I, Wang Ming will remain eternally grateful for your help", the Xuantian sect disciple spoke. Zhan Chen helped him stand up first. He organised the group members once again before returning to his previous position.


    ---------------


    Hundred kilometres to the east of the Yellow stone city, there was arge forest range. The forest range was known as the White mist forest range. If someone was travelling from the Yellow stone city to the Xuantian sect, he had to travel through the White mist forest range. The forest range was not that dangerous as the cultivators of the Earth province traveled through the White mist forest everyday.


    Somewhere in the depth of the White mist forest, few shadows suddenly emerged. They appeared out of nowhere and started talking among themselves.


    "Big brother Cang, how longer do we have to stay put? There are so many cultivators around. I can''t stop myself any longer", a shadowy being spoke.


    "Nu Hao, don''t be naive. We are hear with the order of second young master. Nothing can go wrong. Otherwise, you know his temper", another shadowy being snorted.


    "Big brother Cang, don''t mind Nu Hao. He is always foolish. But can you exin more to us? Why exactly we shadow devils are mobilized in full strength?", another shadowy being asked.


    "You lot should avoid asking so much. I am not nning to talk to you lot but there is nothing to do now. So, I feel, I should clear some of your confusion while we wait for our prey", a shadowy devil who seemed to be leader of the strange entities replied.


    "Big brother Cang, you are the best. We brothers promise to obey all of your orders as long as you allow us to follow you", a shadowy being spoke. Other shadowy being also joined him to please their leader.


    "Okay, enough bootlicking. You fools are hopeless. This time, it is not only our second young master but also the fifth elder of the Earth devils have alsoe along. All of them were following the n set by the inheritor of the Nether soul hall", the leader of the shadowy being spoke. He particrly emphasized the word ''Nether Soul hall'' before finishing his words.


    "Inheritor of the Nether soul hall! What is that mad man doing in this abandoned world?", a shadowy being eximed. Other shadowy beings eximed softly after hearing their leader''s words.


    "Yes, Hua Yunfei hase himself. Don''tinter that I have not warned you. You know how terrifying that man is. Don''t ever do anything that spoil his n", leader of the shadowy being spoke.


    "Leader, we will follow your orders. There is no point in killing some unrted humans just to satisfy our hunger. If we messed up somehow that madman wille himself. It will be a nightmare then if we got targeted by him", another shadowy being spoke. There was a hint of trepidation in his voice when he mentioned the madman from the Nether soul hall. The shadowy beings kept talking among themselves untill their leader noticed something. His lips curled up a little when he noticed the group of new arrivals.


    "Everyone, our wait is finally over. Our preys are delivering themselves to us. We will hide first and y with them untill all of them are dead", the leader spoke. The shadowy beings vanished within a moment after they noticed a group from the Xuantian sect.

 Chapter 412 Lurking danger (2)

    Chapter 412 Lurking danger (2)


    A group from the Xuantian sect ventured deeper into the White Mist Forest, led by Xuan Bei, a senior inner court disciple from the Martial Peak. The dense trees and misty atmosphere created an eerie ambiance as they made their way through the forest.


    Unbeknownst to them, five shadowy beings appeared behind their group. The shadowy beings moved stealthily and infiltrated their ranks without alerting anyone. They silently approached from behind and pounced towards the body of five Xuantian sect disciples who were walking at the end of the group.


    The shadowy beings strangely vanished into the body of five Xuantian sect disciples aftering in contact with them. The scene was so unbelievable that one would find it hard to ept even if they witness the scene in person.


    The attacked disciples suddenly became still, their eyes turned vacant as their mind and soul got overwhelmed by the shadowy beings.


    "Brother Zhou, what is wrong?", a Xuantian sect disciple chose to turn back after sensing hispanion stopping on his track. "It is nothing, I thought I have sensed someone in that direction", the possessed disciple in question pointed to his right. His action seemed slightly unnatural but hispanion couldn''t notice it due to pervading mist in the air.


    "You may have seeen a magical beast. Their is no need to bother about it", hispanion spoke. "May be", the possessed disciple nodded his head. The group from the Xuantian sect continued to walk forward as they didn''t face any major impediment in their way.


    "Be on your guard. There may be a powerful magical beast ahead of us", Xuan Bei suddenly shouted after walking for half an hour. They were inside the White mist forest range. So, it was not a surprise toe across powerful magical beasts while travelling inside the forest.


    Xuantian sect disciples tightened their grips around their weapons after hearing the words of Xuan Bei. They followed behind cautiously as they travelled through the White mist forest.


    A towering figure suddenly appeared infront of the group after they travelled for few minutes. Xuan Bei involuntarily took a step back after he saw the beast infront of him.


    "Golden Eyed Ape!", a disciple in the lead eximed in shock. The group from the Xuantian sect didn''t have time to prepare as the beast charged out immediately. It swung it''s gigantic palms and sent flying a Xuantian sect disciple.


    Xuan Bei took a deep breath and held his sword tightly. He knew he had to fight no matter how difficult the fight may be.


    "Li Cang, Duan Long, attack together!" Xuan Bei shouted, leading the charge against the Golden Eyes Ape. Few powerful disciples moved forward to support him, their weapons were ready despite the nervousness they felt.


    The battle with the Golden Eyes Ape was fierce and intense. The powerful disciples attacked in coordination, striking at the ape with all their might. However, the beast proved to be a formidable opponent, overpowering the group of disciples with it''s towering body.


    As the battle raged on, a sudden danger loomed over the Xuantian sect disciples. Spikes suddenly shot up from the ground, impaling several of them. Panic and chaos ensued as the disciples tried to evade the deadly spikes.


    "Scatter, there is a hidden enemy targeting us", Xuan Bei shouted. His heart was in turmoil as he faced the Golden eyed ape.


    "Why... why are you lot? Senior brother, save us", sound of despair came from behind as Xuan Bei tried to concentrate on his battle. He couldn''t understand what happened so soon.


    "Senior brother, look", a disciple who was fighting by his side pointed towards the back. There was a look of horror on his face as he looked towards the gathering of their group members. Five Xuantian sect disciples were brandishing their weapons continuously. Each of their swing killing or directly injuring their fellow sect disciples.


    "Bastards, stop already", Xuan Bei roared out in rage. He backed down slightly to put a distance from the golden eyed ape.


    "Ga ga ga! Buch of pitiful ants", a sinisterugh came from the five attacking disciples. They easily resisted the attacksing towards them and sent the resisting disciples flying.


    "Li Cang, Duan Long, hold down the beast for me. Let me send a signal to warn others", Xuan Bei spoke. He took out a tailsman from his robe but before he could ignite it, he felt a sudden suctioning from the ground. The ground undted all of a sudden and --------------


    Xuan Bei got dragged into the ground before he could react. The scene waspletely peculiar and fear inducing as the leader of the Xuantian sect group vanished from the battle. His removal meant none could stop the rampaging beast. Moreover, five of the Xuantian sect disciples still attacking like savage devils in the midst of Xuantian sect group.


    --------------


    "Ke..ke...ke, what a satisfying harvest", silhouettes of shadowy beings emerged after a while. They were standing at the same spot where the group from the Xuantian sect got attacked.


    Strangely, there was no hint of Xuantian sect disciples in the surrounding. It was almost like nothing happen in that particr spot.


    "Commander, we need to thank you for this time. You have provided us with so much human preys. With this quantity, our cultivation will definittely soar", a shadowy being spoke. Hispanions joined him quickly to thank their leader.


    "I have said you so. You just need to follow my instructions and I promise, you will definitely get benifit", the leader spoke. He had a smug expression on his face as he looked towards his subordinates.


    "Commander, when do you think next group of humans will arrive?", a shadowy being asked. He had an eager expression on his face as he wanted to hunt more.


    "Very soon. We need to scatter now. We will follow the same method to ambush the next group", the leader spoke. His subordinates nodded their heads and vanished from the site one by one. Their leader took a look at the surrounding before vanishing forest range. He had spread his soul consciousness wide as he travelled through the forest range.


    into thin air.


    "Be prepared. We need to leave the White mist forest range before evening", Zhan Chen spoke as he led his group into the White mist forest range. He had spread his soul consciousness wide as he travelled through the forest range.


    He was still wary of attracting the attention of some powerful emperors. So, he kept the area under his soul consciousness limited.


    "Hmm! What is that?", Zhan Chen sensed some peculiar creatures blended together with some tree trunks. He would have missed them normally but here inside the White mist forest range, he was very attentive. The shadowy beings were not making any movements but Zhan Chen could see that they had souls. Moreover, he cound sense an evil aura when he checked their souls.


    ''Creature with Martial ascension realm soul strength. It seems like they are waiting in ambush for my group'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Interesting! Let''s see what these creatures want", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. His lips curled upward slightly as he separated a tiny portion from his soul and sent it flying towards a shadowy creature.


    ''These humans really know how to take time. I will make sure they die painful death when theyes over'', a shadowy creature was thinking to himself when his expression froze. A feeling of palpitation came to his mind as he tried to turn his head.


    The next moment a tyrannical soul aura locked on him and the shadowy devil couldn''t even resist for second. A tiny spear pierced his soul and aplicated seal manifested.


    "I am doomed", the shadowy creature thought to himself in despair. "So, your name is He Jun?", a voice appeared inside his mind.


    "Yes master", the shadowy creature replied. Even he was in awe how smoothly he epted an unknown person as his master. It had been only few moments but He Jun realized that he couldn''t resist the person no matter how much he tried.


    "Master, what order do you have for me?", he asked to the person who had invaded his soul.


    "Don''t resist. Open your soul consciousness. I need to see through your memories to understand what is going on", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 413 Sinister plot

    Chapter 413 Sinister plot


    Zhan Chen''s soul consciousness delved deeper into the memories of the shadow devil named He Jun. As the memories unfolded, he gained insight into the nning and actions of the shadow devils. The vicious plot of the devils became apparent, and Zhan Chen realized the extent of their cunning and deception.


    "So, you five are called shadow devils," Zhan Chen spoke to He Jun within his mind. "As for the one hiding inside the ground, it''s an earth devil. You devils are surely treacherous. No wonder you were able to kill a group of Xuantian sect disciples on your own."


    He carefully probed He Jun''s memories, unraveling the devils'' intentions and strategies. He discovered that the devils were luring Xuantian sect disciples into traps, possessing few of them and catching the disciples off-guard when they were facing a vulnerable situation. It was a calcted n to weaken the sect''s forces with limited effort.


    "What an ingenious idea! Even I would have faced difficulty if I have not noticed them in advance", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He was genuinely surprised after seeing how sinister the methods of devil army were.


    "Halt", he stopped his group after seeing through devils'' plot. His group stopped immediately and looked towards Zhan Chen with a confused expression. They didn''t understand why Zhan Chen stopped them out of blue.


    "Senior brother Chen, what is the matter?", Yin Ran asked.


    "There seems to be something amiss with this forest. Let me scout this ce. Untill then stay here and don''t move. Zhen Yuan will be the group leader in my absense", Zhan Chen spoke. He couldn''t say directly that devils hadid a trap for all of them. No one would beleive him because he couldn''t produce any evidence. He had his devil ve as a proof but he wouldn''t prouce him before others unless it was absolutely necessary. Everyone would doubt how a young man like him could subdue a Martial ascension realm devil and that would raise furtherplications.


    "Senior brother Chen, don''t worry. I will take care of our group", Zhen Yuan replied. Zhan Chen nodded at him and ran towards the eastern direction. His silhouettes merged in between the think foliages and he soon disappeared from the view of his group members.


    "There are at least seven group of devils who are hunting the Xuantian sect disciples. I can handle almost two. Other groups are spread farther and I have no information about their location", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "In that case, I need to inform elder Chao. If nothing is done, Xuantian sect will receive a severe setback", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He could have pulled away from this situation if he was not a Xuantian sect disciple but here after mingling in the Xuantian sect for a while, he had a sense of responsibility for the sect. He would help the sect in anyway possible as long as it didn''t touch his bottom line. His bottom line refered to his secrets and his ability to manipte the souls.


    Zhan Chen took out a tailsman that Ying Chao had given him and infused his essence energy into it. Themunication tailsman lit up with a bright light and started to disintegrate after few seconds.


    endanger the safety of my group'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He spread his soul consciousness and walked towards the location ''Lets see if my information will able to help Xuantian sect or not. There are so many groups of devils. I can clear at most two groups of devils who are in the nearby location. If I go any farther, it will endanger the safety of my group'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He spread his soul consciousness and walked towards the location where the shadow devils were hiding. The shadow devils noticed his presence when Zhan Chen walked closer.


    "Ke ke ke, brothers, who want to make a move on him?", a shadow devil asked to hispanions. He was using mentalmunication. So that, Zhan Chen would not listen their conversation.


    "Brother Hou, he is not my type. He appears very thin and I can''t satiate my hunger with such low quantity food", a shadow devil spoke.


    "It is only a single human. There is no need to think much", another devil chimed in.


    "In that case, let me go first. I will notpete with you brothers, if another lone person shows up", the devil who had initiated the conversation earlier, proposed. Other four devils agreed to this arrangement and let theirpanion made his move on Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen behaved like he didn''t notice anything. He pretended to be cautious and walked across the path where the shadow devils were hiding. The shadow devil who had bargained with hispanions for Zhan Chen, made his move after Zhan Chen passed through the pathway. His figure materialized in the thin air and in the next moment, he turned into a ck streak and flew towards Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Interesting!", Zhan Chen''s lips curled up a little. He suddenly made a backhand sh with his sword and a shriek came from the behind.


    "What kind of sword energy is this!", the devil eximed with a horrified expression. He couldn''t hide anymore and materialized into his true form after Zhan Chen shed him with his sword.


    There was a long cut on the chest of the shadow devil. ck blood oozed out and the devil looked towards Zhan Chen with a horrified expression on his face.


    The shadow devils were generally blessed with a flexible body. They could mould themselves into any shape and avoid the essence energy attacks threw at them. Their movement technique was among the best of the devil races. Yet, a young human cultivator manage to wound him severely while he was using his movement technique. How could the shadow devil not be terrified? Even his fourpanions were looking at Zhan Chen with tepidation in their eyes.


    "Brothers, what should we do?", a devil sent a mentalmunication to hispanions.


    "Let''s attack together. We do not have a option to escape since it is a mission from that mad man", another shadow devil spoke


    "Fine", all the shadow devils decided to attack Zhan Chen simultaneously. Another four figures materialized infront of Zhan Chen as the shadow devils encircled him from every direction.


    "Bloodline technique, shadow w", a shadow devil roared out and swung his hand towards Zhan Chen. Other four also coordinated and attacked simultaneously. Four attacks came crashing towards Zhan Chen but one attack, directly went towards a shadow devil who was attacking Zhan Chen.


    "Mountain breaking sh", Zhan Chen crouched down slightly andunched a whirlwind sh upward. The four gigantic ws cut into pieces after they came in contact with Zhan Chen''s technique.


    "He Jun, you traitor!", a shadow devil roared out furiously. He had a gaping hole in his chest after being attacked by He Jun.


    "No one shall touch master", He Jun spoke coldly. He had already epted his fate. So, he was nowpletely devoted to Zhan Chen''s cause.


    "Escape, we need to informmander", a devil muttered. His figure vanished into thin air as soon as he spoke. Other devils also noticed the situation was our of control. So, they chose to fleee decisively. They needed to inform their upper echelons about the variation regarding their n. A young human could actually control one of their tribe member, it was a very dangerous variable. They needed to inform everyone and eliminate this young man for their own safety. Such a dangerous person was a threat to their Abhorst empire''s ambition.


    "You think, it is so easy to escape", suddenly a voice came. The shadow devils who were trying frantically to escape, found out that they couldn''t move their bodies. A piercing pain came from their souls all of a sudden and they copsed on the ground after struggling for few moments.

 Chapter 414 Leaving the White mist forest range

    Chapter 414 Leaving the White mist forest range


    The lifeless bodies of the shadow devils fell to the ground after they fought with Zhan Chen. It was only few minutes since they attacked Zhan Chen but the group of five shadow devils werepletely demolished by Zhan Chen. Four were killed due to soul injuries and one became a ve.


    Zhan Chen left his shadow ve, He Jun, to protect the rest of his group members while he ventured deeper into the White Mist Forest. He proceeded cautiously although he was aware about the location of the rest of the shadow devils. He had already witnessed the insidious plot of the shadow devils . So, he chose to stay cautious while approaching them. After walking for a while, he reached the location where the previous group from the Xuantian sect had been ambushed and ughtered by the devils.


    Zhan Chen looked around and a frown appeared on his face. The Xuantian sect disciples fought such a desperate battle but there was no trace left behind on the spot. Even he would have got fooled if he had not witnessed the memory of He Jun.


    "These group of devils were really troublsome. They were good in both sneak attack and wiping out the evidences," Zhan Chen thought to himself. He spread his soul consciousness and found the leader of the shadow devil and the Earth devil who was hiding below the surface. ''Shadow devils are troublesome to deal with but the most difficult ones were Earth devil'', he thought to himself. He came to this conclusion after seeing the memory of He Jun.


    He decided to prioritize dealing with the Earth devil before confronting the leader of the shadow devils. The Earth devil posed a significant threat due to its formidable defense and earth maniption abilities, making it a challenging opponent even for Heavenly tribtion orealm experts.


    Using his soul consciousness, Zhan Chen took a good look at the Earth devil who was hiding approximately three hundred meters below the surface. The devil had a burly physique with yellowish skin and was covered in spikes on its hands and legs. Its appearance was fierce and it waspletely in sync with the underground environment.


    "Such abination of defensive abilities and earth maniption ability. No wonder He Jun, a shadow devil had such a huge impression about them," Zhan Chen acknowledged the devil''s strength. Despite being only a Martial Ascension realm cultivator, the Earth devil''s power could challenge the Heavenly tribtion realm experts.


    "There is no point in killing such a devil. These devils were more useful to me while alive", Zhan Chen pondered inside his mind. He contemted his options and found getting an Earth devil as a ve was the best idea.


    He was a helpless witness to the tragedy, his people had suffered in his previous life. In this life, he had vowed to be powerful and was nning to establish a power which could face any challenges in this world. To create such a power, he would need many subordinates. So, he made up his mind to get the Earth devil as one of his subordinates.


    A glint appeared in his eyes, causing the Earth devil to sense an imminent threat. It instinctively tried to resist, but its resistance was futile infront of his soul strength.


    The Earth devil''s eyes became dull for a moment before regaining it''s previous colour. Aplicated seal appeared on its soul and it had no more resistance towards him. "Travel underground along with me. I will make arrangement for He Jun and you before entering the sect territory of the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke inside it''s mind.


    "Subordinate obeys yourmand", the Earth devil spoke. Zhan Chen looked towards a distant direction after dealing with the troublesome Earth devil.


    A golden eyes monkey was hiding amidst the thick foliage of a big tree. It''s eyes were cautious as it looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled slightly after seeing it''s cautious expression. He knew how crafty the shadow devils actually were. So, he decided to deal with the shadow devil while it was inside the body of the golden eyed monkey.


    He separated a tiny portion of his soul and mould it into a sword shape. He gave amand and the soul sword went flying towards the golden eyed monkey.


    If it was any martial technique, the shadow devil could have dodged somehow but the nature of technique was extremely mysterious. It took only a moment before soul sword stabbed into the body of the golden eyed monkey. It easily passed through the body of the golden eyed monkey and stabbed into the soul of the shadow devil.


    The soul sword was very urate as it didn''t injure the soul of the golden eyed monkey. "How is it possible?", the shadow devil muttered in disbelief. It''s body materialized outside the body of the golden eyed monkey before it''s conciousness started to get blurred.


    "Thud!", the body of the shadow devil crashed into the ground and produced a dull sound. It was already dead by the time it''s bodynded on the ground.


    The golden eyed monkey had a confused expression for a moment before it regained rity. A look of rage appeared on it''s face when it''s eyes fell upon the body of the shadow devil.


    It drummed it''s metallic chest before jumping towards the ground. It swung it''s hands wildly after falling upon the body of the shadow devil. The shadow devil''s head deformed after the golden eyed monkey pounded it''s fist.


    The rage of the Golden eyed monkey was yet to abate as it pounded on the chest of the shadow devil. Zhan Chen shook his head after seeing the scene. He could understand the behaviour of the golden eyed monkey. It was extremely enraged after being posessed by the shadow devil.


    -----------------


    Ying Chao rushed towards the White mist forest after receiving the signal from Zhan Chen. He was slightly nervous because he didn''t know what kind of danger Zhan Chen had faced.


    Zhan Chen had already killed another group of shadow devils when Ying Chao appeared by his side. A kook of disbelief appeared on Ying Chao ''s face after he saw the corpses of five shadow devils.


    "Zhan Chen, what is going on?", He looked towards Zhan Chen. His mind was still in a mess because all the dead shadow devils were Martial ascension realm experts.


    "Senior, the White mist forest is a trap all along. The devils has dispatched group of shadow devils to ambush our disciples. I don''t know the fate of the disciples who hase earlier but I am sure that they are either eliminated or are still being chased by the shadow devils", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t disclose the matter of Earth devil because he didn''t want to expose all of his cards.


    "An ambush!", a frown appeared on the face of Ying Chao. He felt a bad premonition after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, please keep my kills a secret. I don''t want to expose the fact that I have already broke through to the Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 415 Sky dragon alliance

    Chapter 415 Sky dragon alliance


    In the Earth province, there were numerous small and big cities but the most prominent and prestigious one among them was the Jade harmony city.


    The city stretched across hundreds of kilometers. There were towering buildings and bustling crowd everywhere.


    In the past few days, the Jade harmony city was getting more crowded. Powerful cultivators from the different corners of the Centralnd were gathering at the Jade harmony city at this moment.


    The reason for such choas and excitement was rted to the ongoing fight in the Yellow stone city. There was news that devils were surging in number and every power mostbine their forces to counter the devils'' invasion.


    The imperial Xie family took the lead and all the major powers agreed tobine their forces for fighting devils. Even the most reclusive and mysterious Spirit pce had agreed to send their experts. So, there was no reason for any power to deny the proposal of the imperial family.


    Representatives of all the powers met in the Dragon province and decided to form an alliance to fight the devils. It was the Spirit pce who hade up with the name of an alliance. All the powers in the Centralnd had respect and reverence towards the Spirit pce. So, they agreed to adopt the name proposed by the Spirit pce. The name that was given to to the newly formed alliance was ''Sky dragon alliance''. It was a lofty name which intended to invoke courage and fighting spirit among the cultivators.


    All the powers discussed about the location of the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance and by mutual consent, it was decided that headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance would be established in the Jade harmony city.


    All the sects agreed to establish Xie emperor as the nominal head. Thus, it fell upon the imperial family to shape the Sky dragon alliance which was at an embryonic stage at this moment.


    In a secluded courtyard, inside the City lord''s residence, a secret metting was being held at this moment. There were several powerful experts present inside the courtyard but all of them had a look of respect on their faces as they looked towards the person sitting on the Jade throne.


    "Tell me, what is the result? Has they agreed to the proposal of my imperial family?", the enchanting woman sitting on the jade throne asked. Her voice was soft and melodious but a tense expression appeared on the faced of the experts who were standing infront of her.


    The enchanting woman who sit infront of them was the second princess, Xie Lanying from the imperial Xie family. Everyone took her as the most beautiful woman of the Centralnd but most the cultivators didn''t know that she was the most clever and ablest heir of the imperial Xie family.


    This time, to manage the establishment of the Sky dragon alliance, the imperial family has sent her to the Jade harmony city. Her mission was to help the third prince who was the official representative of the imperial Xie family.


    "Second princess, please forgive us. Despite doing our best, we couldn''t manage to persuade them", two experts d in azure armour replied. They lowered their heads as if they were afraid to look at the second princess.


    "No need to feel dissatisfied. The result is within my expectation. Instead I would have feel surprised, if they have agreed to our demands in the first meeting", Xie Lanying spoke. Her voice was soothing and melodious but none could see her expression. The thin veil she was wearing on her head was obstructing everyone from seeing her true expression.


    "Tell me, who among the major powers are causing trouble?", she proceeded to ask again. Her voice was extremely neutral. So, none could tell whether she was calm, angry or irritated.


    "Princess, it is the Heavenly sword sect, Huo n, Sunmoon sect and the Ghostfire sect who are causing trouble. Few more powers are causing trouble but they are not worth mentioning", an expert in azure armour replied.


    "Okay, you may leave first. I will talk with my third brother", Xie Lanying spoke. The gathered experts bowed towards her before leaving the secluded courtyard. A look of contemtion appeared on Xie Lanying''s face after she sent away all the experts.


    "Young miss, what are you thinking?", a melodious voice interrupted her thoughts. Xie Lanying turned to her side and saw Zhou Xiaoling entering from a side entrance.


    "Xiaoling", a faint smiled appeared on the face of Xie Lanying after she saw Zhou Xiaoling. Her indifferent expression turned warm after she saw the graceful woman infront of her.


    "How is your seclusion?", Xie Lanying asked to the graceful woman. She spread her soul consciousness and took a look at Zhou Xiaoling.


    "Young miss, I have been preparing for a while. I am fortunate enough to have a breakthroughst night. I am now a sixth stage Martial ascension realm cultivator", Zhou Xiaoling replied.


    "Congrattion", Xie Lanying softly spoke.


    "Young miss, how many days are you going to stay this time?", Zhou Xiaoling asked. She was feeling really happy after seeing Xie Lanying in the Jade harmony city.


    "Actually, I am not nning toe to the Jade harmony city this time. There ispetetion for the throne and the matter of opening of the Archaic pce. But I still volunteered myself because I want to see a certain young man", Xie Lanying spoke. There was a look of interest on her face when she thought about the person she often dreamed about.


    "Young miss, may I inquire, whom do you want to meet?", Zhou Xiaoling asked with slight reservation. It was rare for the second princess to have an interest towards a person in the Centralnd. No matter how talented the young cultivators were, second princess generally only have disdain towards them.


    Zhou Xiaoling could remember few words which Xie Lanying had spoke to her in the past. "Xiaoling, work hard. Don''t think you have acheived anything just because you have managed to reach the Core condensation realm at your age. We are only frogs inside a barrennd. There are countless geniuses outside who may have reached Emperor realm at our age".


    Zhou Xiaoling thus understand why none of the talents could enter the eyes of her young miss, it was because all of them were frogs in the well while inside the Northern desert continent. If someone was considered talented, it only meant that he was only a more talented from among the other frogs who were ignorant about the vast cultivation world. Zhou Xiaoling understood her young miss well. So, she was curious to know who among the young talents manage to catch the interest of the second princess.

 Chapter 416 Meeting an old friend

    Chapter 416 Meeting an old friend


    It was already evening when Zhan Chen''s group came out from the White mist forest range. There was a releived expression on everyone''s face as they passed the ordeal of the White mist forest range together.


    "Phew! I am tired to death already", a Xuantian sect disciple in Zhan Chen''s group spoke. Few others also echoed his sentiment as they wanted to take a rest afterpleting such a tiresome journey.


    "Senior brother Chen, what do you think?", Zhen Yuan the second strongest in the group looked towards Zhan Chen. None in the group couldmand him, he only respected Zhan Chen''smand despite being a Martial ascension realm cultivator himself.


    "The meeting point decided by the sect is nearby. It is only an hour of walk from here. We should go there and take a rest at that ce. We don''t have to worry about our safety either because there most be experts from our sect present there", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother Chen is right. We should go to the Oak ridge town before thinking about rest", a cultivator among the group supported Zhan Chen''s decision. Few wanted to take some rest but they were persuaded by theirpanions. Finally, it was decided that everyone would rush to the Oak ridge town which was the predecided meeting point of the Xuantian sect disciples.


    There were no more obstacles after leaving the White mist forest range. Zhan Chen led his group towards the eastward direction and finally a small town appeared infront of everyone''s eyes.


    "We are finally here", few cultivators in Zhan Chen''s group exhaled in releif. The tense expression in Zhen Yuan, Hui Ling and Yin Ran''s eyes eased up after they saw the outline of the small town ahead.


    "You two stay here quitely. No need to travel to the Oak ridge town with us. We will probably take a night''s rest and resume our travel to the Xuantian sect tomorrow", Zhan Chen spoke to the Earth devil and the shadow devil. Both the devils agreed to hismand and hid themselves in the outskirts of the Oakridge town.


    A terrifying soul consciousness scanned Zhan Chen''s group when they approached the entrance of the Oakridge town. The terrifying soul consciousness lingered for few moments before receding to the depth of the Oak ridge town. ''A fourth stage emperor realm expert!'', Zhan Chen muttered to himself. He warned both the earth devil and the shadow devil about the existence of an emperor before entering inside the Oakridge town.


    "Junior brother Chen", Zhan Chen heard a melodious voice after entering the Oakridge town. He looked ahead and found a group of cultivators approaching their group.


    Leading the group was a familiar person. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw the smiling girl infront of him. The person who called him just now was Sima Chunhua whom he had met in the grand sectpetetion. Among the entire group from the Xuantian sect who had participated in the Grand sectpetition, two had made an impression in his mind. One was Sima Chunhua "Senior sister, your cultivation?", Zhan Chen eximed softly. In the short time he had not met her, she had improved herself greatly.


    and another was Jia Lingyi.


    "Hello, senior sister. How have you been?", Zhan Chen greeted Sima Chunhua after getting closer to the approaching group.


    "Junior brother, I am good. I have heard that you are participating in the battle of the Yellow stone city. So, I have volunteered myself to protect our base nearby", Sima Chunhua exined. Zhan Chen could see that she was really happy after meeting him in the Oakridge town.


    "Senior sister, your cultivation?", Zhan Chen eximed softly. In the short time he had not met her, she had improved herself greatly.


    "Yes, I am already in the second stage of the Martial ascension realm. After the Grand sectpetition, I entered seclusion and managed to get a breakthrough to the Martial ascension realm", Sima Chunhua eximed.


    "Ahem!", a soft coughing sound came from the side and interrupted the conversation between Zhan Chen and Sima Chunhua. It was another girl who had interrupted both of them.


    "Senior sister, let''s receive them first. You can have a chat with your junior brother after we finished handling the sect''s matter", the girl spoke. Sima Chunhua wanted to say few more things to Zhan Chen but she noticed the meaningful expression in herpanions'' eyes. A faint blush appeared on her face as she realised she had make a fool of herself.


    "Junior brother Chen, let''s talkter", she spoke faintly. She felt shy to look at Zhan Chen at this moment.


    Zhan Chen followed back her group as they entered the depth of the Oakridge town. He saw the graceful appearance of the Sima Chunhua and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. "I have never persuaded her actively neither I have used any technique on her. So, how can she like me so much after metting me once or twice?", he thought to himself. He didn''t know that there was something called love at first sight. He had underestimated his own charm which had a magical effect on girls even if he didn''t actively persuade them.


    Sima Chunhua was a very talented girl but she had no experience in the matter of heart. She interacted with Zhan Chen and saw him performing one miracle after another. His image gradually grew in stature in her heart and she didn''t know when she had fallen for him.


    The wonderful feeling she had experienced while looking at Zhan Chen soothed her mind and heart. She entered seclusion after seeing him and magically, she broke through to the Martial ascension realm.


    Her bottleneck had bothered her for a year or two. Yet magically, she easily crossed over her bottleneck after experiencing that wonderful feeling when she was in the vicinity of Zhan Chen. It depened her feelings towards him and she hurried over to meet him after ending her seclusion.


    Sima Chunhua led Zhan Chen''s group to the base of the Xuantian sect. A middle aged elder was in charge of the base in the Oak ridge town.


    "Who is the group leader?", he asked after seeing Zhan Chen''s group.


    "Greetings senior. I am their assigned group leader", Zhan Chen stepped forward. The elder felt slightly surprised after seeing how young Zhan Chen actually was. He took a look at the group and found three Martial ascension realm experts in Zhan Chen''s group. Two of them, Yin Ran and Hui Ling were at first stage of the Martial ascension realm. As for Zhen Yuan, he was a second stage Martial ascension realm expert. With such a line up, the elder couldn''t understand why the elders in the Yellow stone city assigned Zhan Chen as the group leader. He tried to appear calm and asked Zhan Chen for his identity token.


    Zhan Chen brought out his sect token and handed it over to the elder in charge. "A blue token", the middle aged elder eximed after seeing the token of Zhan Chen.


    "Are you the Core disciple brought to the sect by elder Chao?", he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yes senior. It is elder Chao who has brought me to the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen conformed his conjecture.


    "I am Qian Bo. Happy to see little brother Chen here", the elder spoke. His indifferent expression changed to one of enthusiasm after he learned the identity of Zhan Chen.


    "Little brother Chen, you have performed brilliantly. Let me record your acheivement first. Sect will reward you after elders fighting in the Yellow stone city retreat", Qian Bo spoke.


    "Many thanks. Please inform me once elder Chao and other disciples returned", Zhan Chen replied. Qian Bomanded the disciples in Sima Chunhua''s group to show Zhan Chen and his group their resting quarters.

 Chapter 417 A conversation with Sima Chunhua

    Chapter 417 A conversation with Sima Chunhua


    "Junior brother, are you tired?", Sima Chunhua asked after leading Zhan Chen to a spacious courtyard. Generally, chores like showing rooms should be handled by some ordinary inner court disciples but Sima Chunhua took upon herself to show Zhan Chen his room.


    "Not particrly. Since senior sister is personally apanying me, my tiredness is already gone", Zhan Chen replied.


    Sima Chunhua took a look at his smiling face and fell into a trance. ''Junior brother seems more attractive tonight'', she thought to herself.


    "Senior sister, I may feel shy if you look at me any longer", Zhan Chen spoke softly. A small smile appeared on his face after seeing Sima Chunhua looking at him like fool.


    "Ah! pardon me", Sima Chunhua spoke with a blush on her face. Her face reddened after she was called out by Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, you looks very pretty when you are shy", Zhan Chen teased with a smile. He was really enjoying thepany of his beautiful senior sister.


    "Junior brother, stop praising me. I want to hear about the battle in the Yellow stone city", Sima Chunhua spoke. She deliberately tried to avoid Zhan Chen''s gaze because his charm was irresistible for her young heart.


    "Senior sister, do you like me?", Zhan Chen asked all of a sudden. He focused his eyes on her face as he wanted to get a definite answer.


    Matter of heart between men and women wereplex yet simple. If you were not courageous to confess your feelings, you may suffer due to heartburn. Your emotions would get more chaotic and you may suffer, the more you hide.


    Zhan Chen was very straightforward in such matters. If a girl continued to like him despite knowing his shorings, he would readily ept her. With the cultivation method he was practicing, the situation with him was the more, the merrier. He knew Sima Chunhua couldn''t bring him more benefit neither her second stage Martial ascension realm cultivation. Despite knowing that, he was still willing to ept her after he saw her emotion for him.


    "Junior brother, what do you think about me?", Sima Chunhua didn''t answer him straightaway. Rather, she wanted to hear what Zhan Chen thought about her. She was already twenty four while Zhan Chen was only eighteen. So , she wanted to see whether Zhan Chen liked her or not despite the age gap between them.


    "Senior sister, you are both beautiful and talented. I will consider myself lucky if I manage to gat a girl like you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Sima Chunhua breathed in relief after hearing Zhan Chen''s answer. "Junior brother, will you despise me if I say I like you very much?", Sima Chunhua spoke. She let go of all her reservations and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Junior brother, you just need to be honest with me. I will ept whatever your answer is", Sima Chunhua added after seeing Zhan Chen silent. She was inwardly nervous but she tried to appear calm infront of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, it is not that I don''t have an answe rather I am worried that my answer may disappoint you. You like me so much but I myself can''t belong to you alone. The cultivation technique I practice is a dual cultivation method. So, there are many women around me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Dual cultivation method! Junior brother, why do you need to practice such a cultion method with your talent?", Sima Chunhua eximed.


    "Senior sister, it is my teacher who has imparted the dual cultivation technique to me. The technique is pretty good and it benefits both me and my partner. So, I grow to like the technique the more I cultivate it", Zhan Chen exined.


    "Junior brother Chen, is there any side effect?", Sima Chunhua followed up with another question. There was a concerned expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen couldn''t tell whether she was concerned about herself. Regardless, Zhan Chen chose to provide her more rity.


    "Senior sister, my technique only have benefit for women. There is no side effect. But for me, there are few difficulties I have to face the more I practice my dual cultivation technique", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Is there no way to remove those side effects?", Sima Chunhua asked. This time, Zhan Chen could see that she was pretty concerned about him despite not being his partner yet.


    "Senior sister, don''t worry about the side effects. The side effects will gradually disappear after I get another breakthrough in my cultivation technique", Zhan Chen replied.


    "So, senior sister, what is your decision? Are you still interested in being my woman after knowing that I am a dual cultivator?", Zhan Chen looked towards Sima Chunhua. Compared to his previous encounters with his various women, he was more easygoing this time. He knew Sima Chunhua would not bring him much benefit. But he was still willing to make her his woman. If she still love him so much even after knowing his current reality, he had no reason to deny such a beautiful and thought woman. Moreover, he very much likes Sima Chunhua''s personality since Grand sectpetition. So, he would easily ept if she made up her mind.


    "Junior brother, are you willing to meet my parents when you have time?", Sima Chunhua asked.


    "Ofcourse, we can visit your parents after we go back to the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen replied.


    "So, I can consider your answer is yes", Zhan Chen looked towards Sima Chunhua. Sima Chunhua nodded her head shyly as she avoided the burning gaze of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen propped up her chin with his hand and looked at her eyes. Sima Chunhua tried to avoid looking at him but Zhan Chen didn''t allow her to escape. Both had desire for eachother and the fire of desire burned fiercely the more they looked at eachother''s eyes.


    Sima Chunhua was a tall girl. So, Zhan Chen only had to lean slightly and he easily reached her tantalizing lips with his own. He pressed her lips gently on her lips and a warm current flowed across Sima Chunhua''s body. She froze overpletely as Zhan Chen nibbled on her tender lips.


    Zhan Chen kissed her for a while as Sima Chunhua almost became like a statue. It felt good to suck on her lips and Zhan Chen had an unwiling expression when he let go of her lips. The aftertaste was quite good and Zhan Chen smacked his lips while looking at Sima Chunhua.


    "Senior sister, do you like the kiss?", Zhan Chen asked softly. Sima Chunhua''s face reddenedpletely as she leaned over Zhan Chen''s chest and his her face.


    "Junior brother Chen, I really like you", she spoke with a dreamy voice. Her while body started to be hot as shetched close to Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Senior sister, shall we go to my room?", Zhan Chen asked gently. Her feminine scent was quite good and Zhan Chen felt his dragon bing disobedient in it''s prison.

 Chapter 418 Fluttering heart

    Chapter 418 Fluttering heart


    "Okay", Sima Chunhua nodded shyly after hearing Zhan Chen''s proposal. Her face reddened quickly when she imagined what would happen inside Zhan Chen''s room.


    "Junior brother!", Sima Chunhua cried out in surprise after Zhan Chen suddenly lifted her. He gave her a princess carry and carried her to his room.


    Sima Chunhua peeked at Zhan Chen with a flustered expression as her heartbeat quickened. She quickly hid her face again and let Zhan Chen carry her. Zhan Chen felt she was acting like a shy bride and his desire for her increased.


    Her every action and demeanor had a certain chrarm and it stirred the fire burning inside his heart. Zhan Chen put her down on the wooden bed and pressed her underneath his body.


    Sima Chunhua struggled subconsciously but Zhan Chen sealed her lips with his own lips to calm her down. Sima Chunhua tried to reciprocate this time and both of them ended up sharing a passionate kiss with eachother.


    "Senior sister, I want to see you", Zhan Chen whispered softly. Sima Chunhua feltpletely shy after seeing the expectant gaze of Zhan Chen.


    "Junior brother, we can''t go far. We have yet to marry", Sima Chunhua reminded. She neither epted nor rejected Zhan Chen''s request. She was generally a very brave and energetic girl but she actedpletely passive and meek when having her first intimate moments with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen immediately deduced he had to take the lead while facing such a girl. So, he didn''t wait for her consent anymore. He pressed his palm on her protruding chest and leaned forwards for another kiss.


    Sima Chunhua didn''t have very prominent assets but her breasts were enough to fill his palm. Sima Chunhua started to moan faintly after Zhan Chen released her lips.


    "Senior sister, I am removing your clothes", Zhan Chen informed her before pulling the small strip of cloth which she was using like a belt. Sima Chunhua wanted to say something but her words struck in her throat after she noticed the fire burning in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Senior sister, please let me have a look", Zhan Chen spoke. Sima Chunhua nodded and Zhan Chen ced another kiss on her lips.


    Sima Chunhua didn''t resist as Zhan Chen pulled her clothes one by one. She was left only in her red inner garments after Zhan Chen removed her sect robe.


    She had a slim body and and all of her curves were at right location. Zhan Chen gulped slightly after seeing her half naked body.


    "Senior sister, you are looking pretty", Zhan Chen spoke. Sima Chunhua could see the desire in his eyes and a faint desire appeared in her heart.


    "Junior brother, will you marry me someday?", she asked with an expectant look on her face.


    "Senior sister, I will definitely give you a marriage but you may have to wait a longer period. Are you willing to wait for me?", Zhan Chen asked with a serious expression.


    "I am willing", Sima Chunhua replied resolutely. There was nothing more to hear anymore as Zhan Chen leaned forward for another kiss. This time, Sima Chunhua reciprocated passionately and their kisssted for several minutes. Zhan Chen desired for more after tasting her sweet saliva.


    "Senior sister, stuck out your tongue", Zhan Chen spoke. Sima Chunhua did as he said but she was slightly puzzled.


    All of her confusion washed away after she felt Zhan Chen''s lips on her tongue. She opened her eyes and saw Zhan Chen sucking on her tongue passionately. A wave of pleasure washed over her body as her tongue got licked by Zhan Chen. She felt it was quite shameful but she still enjoyed the sensation.


    Zhan Chen proceed to ce a kiss on her neck and proceeded downward. His actions were very smooth and Sima Chunhua didn''t get any time to protest before Zhan Chen removed her innerwears.


    "Junior brother, we can''t get too far", she reminded. She was worried that they would cross the barrier between men and women before marriage. In such a situation, she would find it hard to return to her n if she lost her chastity as an unmarried woman.


    "Senior sister, do you believe me?", Zhan Chen asked her. He could see through her concern. So, he decided to reassure her.


    "Junior brother, I believe in you", Sima Chunhua replied while looking at Zhan Chen.


    "In that case, rx. I promise we will not cross the final barrier. So, there is no way someone will find out about us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He ced his mouth on one of her peaks and gently nibble on her reddened nipple. Sima Chunhua felt dazed as an overwhelming amount of pleasure coarsed through her body.


    Zhan Chen took proper care of her peaks before proceeding downward. Sima Chunhua clenched her legs subconsciously but Zhan Chen gently stimted her to open her legs. Her yet to mature flower was a sight to behold as Sima Chehua covered "Gulp!", Zhan Chen''s throat bubbed up slightly as he gulped the mouthful of holy water. Sima Chunhua feltpletely shy after seeing the greedy expression on Zhan her face with her palms shyly.


    The next action of Zhan Chen waspletely unexpected for her as Zhan Chen started to leak the entrance of her sacred cave. Droplets of water trickled out from Sima Chunhua''s cave as her breathing became ragged.


    "Junior brother, please let go", she could only beg as she faced the tongue storm of passion. Finally, she couldn''t control herself anymore as she released a stream of water into Zhan Chen''s mouth. Her body twitched in pleasure as she relished the after test of such an intense sensation.


    "Gulp!", Zhan Chen''s throat bubbed up slightly as he gulped the mouthful of holy water. Sima Chunhua feltpletely shy after seeing the greedy expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Junior brother, you are so bad", Sima Chunhua murmured shyly. He could not beleive her upright looking junior brother would be capable of such perverse things. Lower part of her body was still tingling which reminded her how intense the tongue storm was.


    "Senior sister, how are you feeling? Is my service to your liking?", Zhan Chen asked with a cheeky expression on his face. Sima Chunhua blushed after hearing such a shameless question from Zhan Chen.


    "Junior brother, please pass my clothes over. We can talk after I dress up", Sima Chunhua spoke.


    "Senior sister, how can you be so cruel? Can''t you see, I have yet to quench my thirst", Zhan Chen spoke. He had a look of disappointment on his face as he looked towards Sima Chunhua.


    Sima Chunhua felt speechless after seeing Zhan Chen''s exaggerated expression. "Junior brother, tell me. What do you want? You know, I can''t stay here longer", she spoke. She still hadpanions in the Oakridge town. They would suspect her dealings with Zhan Chen if she holed up inside Zhan Chen''s room for hours.


    "Senior sister, don''t worry about others. We still have a long night to stay with eachother", Zhan Chen spoke. Sima Chunhua saw that Zhan Chen really wanted her to stay. But she hesitated. She herself wanted to spend some more time with Zhan Chen. But her longer stay would definitely arose suspicions in between herpanions.


    "Senior sister, you may go back. You just need to tell yourpanions that you are entering seclusion for cultivation. I will figure out a way to sneak into your room without alerting anyone", Zhan Chen spoke. He could see through the reason for her hesitation. So, he quickly thought about a n through which both of them can spend a night together without arousing any suspicion.

 Chapter 419 News from the Yellow stone city

    Chapter 419 News from the Yellow stone city


    "Senior sister", Sima Chunhua heard the familiar voice after entering her room. It was Zhan Chen who had already sneaked into her room before she came back.


    "Junior brother, when did you....?", Sima Chunhua looked towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous expression.


    "When you are talking with other girls", Zhan Chen replied her with a smile.


    "Have you informed them about your seclusion?", he inquired.


    "Yes, I have asked them to not disturb me unless it is very important", Sima Chunhua nodded her head.


    "Good, now we can spend some quality time together", Zhan Chen smiled. He pulled Sima Chunhua closer and pressed his lips on her juicy lips.


    Sima Chunhua cooperated with him and soon both of them rekindled their passion for each other. Zhan Chen explored her back while kissing her and soon founds two soft globes below her waist. He groped them with force and currents of pleasure coarsed through Sima Chunhua''s body.


    "Senior sister, can you remove your clothes for me? I want to see you", Zhan Chen spoke. Sima Chunhua nodded her head with a blush and removed her sect robe. She was slightly hesitant to remove her inner garments but she removed them after seeing the expectant gaze on Zhan Chen''s face. She removed her innerwears one by one and finally unravalled her beautiful body infront of Zhan Chen.


    She was feeling shy under Zhan Chen''s gaze. So, she tried to hide her peaks with her hands. As for her treasured sacred cave, she hid it by mping her legs together.


    She was trying to hide her natural gifts but it magnified her beauty in Zhan Chen''s eyes. Her every action seemed enticing for him as he gulped audibly. He pulled her closer and pressed his lips on her lips.


    "Senior sister, you are looking really beautiful", Zhan Chen spoke. He admired her beauty once again before proceedong to remove his own clothes.


    Sima Chunhua blushed red after seeing the naked body of Zhan Chen. Her gaze fell upon the mighty dragon below and she couldn''t extricate her gaze for a moment.


    "Senior sister, I am leaving it in your care", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile as he guided her hand to hold his dragon. Sima Chunhua felt shy but she felt an eagerness on her heart to y with the dragon.


    Zhan Chen guided her properly after seeing her unskillful hand movement. A look of enjoyment appeared on his face as he enjoyed the stroking of Sima Chunhua.


    "Senior sister, can you use your mouth?", Zhan Chen asked her. Sima Chunhua nodded her head and knelt down. She was not sure how she could use her mouth. But she still stretched out her tongue and took a lick at the tip of the mighty dragon.


    Zhan Chen didn''t interfere as she licked his dragon unskillfully. The sensationing from her wet tongue was quite good and Zhan Chen''s dragon tremble in pleasure, the more saliva she put on it''s body.


    "Senior sister, open your mouth", Zhan Chen couldn''t hold back anymore. He shoved his dragon inside her mouth and started to move his waist.


    "Senior sister, bear with me", Zhan Chen spoke as he moved his waist. Sima Chunhua took a clue from his movement and started to move her head forth and back. Her cheeks curved inward as she tried to squeeze Zhan Chen''s dragon with her mouth.


    "Senior sister, thank you. It feels quite good", Zhan Chen spoke while moving his waist. His dragon explored the depth of her mouth as the gentle tightness sent currents of pleasure coarsing through his body.


    Sima Chunhuabproved herself as a first learner. She looked at Zhan Chen''s face time to time and tried to please him with the movement of her mouth and tongue. She was very enthusiastic to please Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen still stopped her after enjoying her care for twenty long minutes. It was quite strainful for her to use her mouth for such a long period. So, Zhan Chen stopped her when she started to slow down because of fatigue.


    "Senior sister, there are things we can try without breaking your innocence. No one can find out but we can still enjoy the pleasure between man and woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Junior brother, you can tell me whatever you have in your mind", Sima Chunhua spoke. She was eager to please Zhan Chen if it didn''t involve her purity.


    fleshy buttocks.


    "Senior sister, climb your bed and stand on your fours. You will understand once we begin", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Sima Chunhua felt a little awkward at first. She blushed when she stood up on her fours and exposed her back to Zhan Chen. It was such a shameful position that she didn''t want to face Zhan Chen at this moment.


    Zhan Chen took a good look at her tantalizing back and his dragon trembled in anticipation. He stretched his hand and groped her fleshy buttocks.


    "Nnnn~", a low moan escaped Sima Chunhua''s mouth. She didn''t know why but her buttocks getting groped by Zhan Chen felt extremely pleasurable to her.


    Zhan Chen traced the crack between her thighs and ced his fingers on the entrance of her sacred cave. Sima Chunhua moaned involutarily as a current of pleasure coarsed through her body.


    "Mmmm~", Sima Chunhua enjoyed the touch of Zhan Chen as Zhan Chen pleased her with his fingers. Her cave became watery after she experienced few minutes of stimtion. Zhan Chen moved his hand upward after stimting her little sister. There was another cave upward and Zhan Chen traced the crack with his fingers.


    Sima Chunhua''s eyes widened as she realised what Zhan Chen was doing. "Junior brother, stop. You shouldn''t touch that ce", she shouted in panick.


    "But senior sister, I really like it. Hopefully, you will allow me to appreciate it", Zhan Chen replied. Before Sima Chunhua could speak anything, she felt a finger inside her forbidden cave.


    Zhan Chen inserted another finger and stimted her with his two fingers. Sima Chunhua felt a weird sensation but she slowly got ustomed to it. She could feel currents of pleasure coarsing through her body when Zhan Chen was touching her forbidden cave.


    "Senior sister, I am beginning", Zhan Chen muttered. He held her forbidden cave open with his fingers and inserted his dragon inside it.


    Her forbidden cave felt extremely tight but strangely, it felt slippery. Zhan Chen tried for a while and finally shoved half of his length inside her forbidden cave.


    "Ah~", Sima Chunhua let out a loud moan. She could feel a burning hot spear inside her forbidden cave. Zhan Chen moved his waist slowly and Sima Chunhua''s forbidden cave gradually became more aodating.


    Zhan Chen grabbed her perky buttocks with both of his hands and pounded her passionately. Currents of pleasure ran across body of Sima Chunhua and she finally reached her peak. A stream of holy water dripped from the entrance of her sacred cave and drenched her bed wet.


    "Senior sister, shall we continue?", Zhan Chen asked. His dragon was still inside her forbidden cave as it enjoyed the squeezing of her cave wall.


    "Junior brother, let''s stop for a moment. You can do what ever you like after I take a little rest", Sima Chunhua spoke. She was feeling weak on her knees after releasing her holy water. All she wanted to do at this moment was to lie down for a moment.


    ----------------


    There was a grim situation outside contrary to the rosy pictures in Sima Chunhua''s room. The next group after Zhan Chen''s group arrived almost two hours after Zhan Chen''s arrival.


    The entire group of disciples looked listless and tired as they dragged their bodies towards the Oak ridge town. Many of them had shocking wounds on their bodies. Few of them were so injured and tired that they copsed even before they could reach the entrance of the Oakridge town.


    "Please bring some healing pills. Otherwise, they will die before reaching the Oakridge town", a disciple shouted when Sima Chunhua''spanions went to receive the new arrivals.


    "What happened to all of you? Why are you all so injured?", a femalepanion of Sima Chunhua asked. She took out her own collection of healing pills and handed them to the new arrivals.


    Herpanions followed after her and lent their healing pills to the injured disciples. "The pills with us are not sufficient. Let''s go and inform the disciples of the Serene bamboo peak", apanion of Sima Chunhua murmured.


    He was nning to rush back to the base of the Xuantian sect when a powerful soul consciousness fell upon both of their groups. "What happened to all of you?", a surprised voice came from afar.


    A tall old man appeared next to both groups after asking the question. There was a powerful auraing from him and both the group of disciples immediately realized the identity of new arrival.


    The tall old man infront of them was a mighty emperor but none of the Xuantian sect disciples had seen him once in the Xuantian sect. So, they felt slightly sceptical about the identity of the emperor. But they still bowed towards the old emperor and showed him respect.


    "Senior, we ran into the White mist forest range after escaping from the Yellow stone city. Midway through the forest range, we were ambushed by the devil army. Elder Chao came to save us but he was interrupted by a devil expert. We tried our best but we couldn''t kill all the devils", an injured disciple spoke.


    "Senior, these devils are very strange. They are not easy to kill even when we outnumber them. We lost amsot half of our members even with support from elder Chao", another disciple added.

    Chapter 420 Meeting Ying Chao once again


    "Senior sister, turn around. I am about to release my yang essence. It will be best if you swallow my entire essence. That way you will maximize the benifit from the Yin nourishment technique", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled out his dragon from Sima Chunhua''s forbidden cave and waited for her to turn around.


    Sima Chunhua was slightly perplexed as she didn''t know how the Yin nourishment technique would potentially help her. But she had utmost trust on Zhan Chen. So, she obediently turned around and brought her mouth close to Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Open your mouth", Zhan Chenmanded. He stroked his dragon slightly and deposited his yang essence inside Sima Chunhua''s mouth.


    "Gulp", Sima Chunhua involuntarily gulped and swallowed all the yang essence of Zhan Chen. There were still few drops white on her lips. She struck out her tongue and licked them clean.


    "It has a sweet taste", she murmured. A surprised expression appeared on her face as she noticed the nourishing property of Zhan Chen''s yang essence.


    "Senior sister, do you have any scroll with you?", Zhan Chen inquired. Sima Chunhua nodded her head and took out a spirit scroll from her storage bag.


    Such scrolls were very convenient to use as they could contain more information than ordinary scrolls. Zhan Chen used his essence energy and words after words started to appear magically on the spirit scroll.


    "Senior sister, I am leaving. Make sure to learn and practice the Yin nourishment technique properly", Zhan Chen spoke. He nted an agressive kiss on Sima Chunhua''s lips before leaving her room.


    Sima Chunhua felt lost for a moment after Zhan Chen left. A reluctant expression overwhelmed her heart as she missed Zhan Chen''s presence. "Look at me, how can I bother junior brother anymore? He probably wants to cultivate peacefully for a while. So, I should not bother him anymore today", Sima Chunhua thought to herself.


    She decided to take a look at the Yin nourishment technique and inserted her essence energy inside the spirit scroll. The spirit scroll glowed faintly and words after word appeared inside her brain. An incredulous expression appeared on her face after she read the Yin nourishment technique for a while.


    She tried her best to concentrate and did her best to learn the Yin nourishment technique. She became more surprised, the longer she studied the Yin nourishment technique. "What is the grade of this technique? Looking at its profoundness, thus technique most be a heaven grade technique", she thought to herself. All her mncholy was washed out as she stopped thinking about Zhan Chen. She focused all of her attention in learning the Yin nourishment technique.


    "What is going on here?", Zhan Chen felt surprised when he came out of Sima Chunhua''s living quarter. Once the quiet alleyway waspletely filled with Xuantian sect disciples. Most of the disciples looked injured and battered as they walked towards the base of the Xuantian sect.


    Zhan Chen felt powerful soul consciousness scanning through all over the entire town. Few powerful soul consciousness approached him as soon as he started walking in the alleyway.


    Zhan Chen noticed some familiar auras among the powerful soul consciousness. Unsurprisingly, the inner court elder, Ying Chao appeared next to him after the powerful soul consciousness detected him in the alleyway.


    Zhan Chen saw the grim expression on Ying Chao''s face. He thought about few possibilities which could have ured in the White mist forest range.


    "Senior, what happened in the White mist forest range after I left?", he inquired.


    "Follow me to the base. You will find your answer in the ongoing discussion", Ying Chao replied. He brought Zhan Chen along with him and flew towards the middle of the Oak ridge town.


    A two storied mansion was the base of the Xuantian sect in the Oakridge town. Zhan Chen saw many familiar faces when he walked into the base of the Xuantian sect with elder Ying Chao.


    "Little friend Chen, please take a seat. We are discussing about the ambush, our disciples has faced in the White mist forest range", an elder invited Zhan Chen with an amiable expression. Zhan Chen observed the expression of other elders and all of them wore a serious expression on their faces at this moment. Few of them nodded towards him but others had an impassive expression on their faces.


    "Senior brother Chao, why have you brought him here?", an elder asked impoliely. He had a look of displeasure on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "He is a core disciple. He do have right to attend the meeting between us inner court elders", Ying Chao replied with an expressionless voice. His gaze became slightly colder as he looked ttowards the elder who had just talked.


    "Seniors, please don''t worry. I will not talk in between your discussion. I am only here to observe", Zhan Chen rified. Inwardly, he took note of the elder who tried to speak against him.


    "Well, there is no point in arguing about such a matter. Since, Zhan Chen is here, let him attend our meeting", another elder spoke.


    Ying Chao took his seat and the meeting between the elders resumed once again. Zhan Chen learned that almost half of the inner core disciples were killed in this ambush of the White mist forest range. ''No wonder, all the elders are so serious. It is truly a gret blow to the Xuantian sect'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "These despicable bastards! I will kill as many as I can when I meet the devil army once again", an elder sweared loudly. Few other elders suggested for a counterattack as they wanted to avenge the fallen disciples.


    "I can understand all of your feelings. But we can''t be hasty. Let the but I could only help you that much in the White mist forest range", Zhan Chen spoke.


    emperors retreat first. We need to hear their opinion before deciding on our future course of action", Ying Chao spoke at the end.


    He assigned various duties to the gathered elders before ending the discussion. "I am leaving. I want to have a small conversation with Zhan Chen", he spoke as he led Zhan Chen out of the Xuantian sect''s base.


    "Zhan Chen, it is thanks to you this time. Without your information, I can''t even imagine how much lose we would have suffered in the White mist forest range", Ying Chao spoke. He had a look of gratitude on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, it is only my duty as a part of the Xuantian sect. Forgive me but I could only help you that much in the White mist forest range", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No, you have done enough. I will not expose your killing of shadow devils but I will definitely inform the sect that it was your timely information which saved half of our inner court disciples'' lives", Ying Chao spoke.

    Chapter 421 New destination


    "Senior, when will the emperorse back?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "I can''t say for sure but they wille back after ensuring the safe retreat of the imperial army", Ying Chao replied.


    "Zhan Chen, are you intersted in leading our sect disciples once again?", Ying Chao asked. His face was slightly serious. So, Zhan Chen realized that this matter most be of great importance.


    "Senior, to be frank, leading a group is quite a heavy burden. I will conside doing it only if there is some good reward in return", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Well, there are many good rewards this time. But there are also too many dangers. Compared to the battle of the Yellow stone city, this mission is multiple times more dangerous. I wonder, whether you are bold enough to ept such a mission?", Ying Chao asked. He squinted his eyes and waited to see Zhan Chen''s response.


    "Senior, stop egging me in. I am notcking in confidence but I am not a suicidal fool. I want to hear the details of the mission before giving any opinion", Zhan Chen calmly replied.


    Ying Chao scratched his head in embarassment after seeing the calm in Zhan Chen''s eyes. "It is really difficult to get ahead of you. In that case, there is no point in keeping you in dark. Let me tell you the biggest development ured when all of us are busy fighting the devils in the Yellow stone city", Ying Chao spoke.


    "The imperial family hase up with the proposal of an alliance. All the major and small powers in the continent has agreed to join the alliance. Few forces were hesitating but they agreed to join the alliance after the news came from the Spirit pce", Ying Chao informed.


    "Spirit pce? Do they have something to do with the alliance?", Zhan Chen asked with a curious expression. ording to the information he had received, the spirit pce had never participated in the turmoils of the Northern desert continent since it''s inception. They always stayed aloof no matter how chaotic the situation in the Northern desert continent was. Now that they had something to do with a newly formed alliance, it piqued his interest.


    "Yes, this time Spirit pce has decided to send forces. The name of the alliance is suggested by the Spirit pce itself", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Oh! What is the name of the alliance?", Zhan Chen asked with a look of interest in his eyes.


    The involvement of the Spirit pce was a major development. He had visited them physically after the Grand sectpetition. So, he knew how formidable, the Spirit pce actually was. The alliance would be very powerful with the addition of forces from the Spirit pce. So, he was now very curious about this newly formed alliance.


    "The name is Sky dragon alliance. Xie emperor will personally act as the alliance chief", Ying Chao informed.


    "Xie emperor! What is the purpose of this alliance? Are they simply trying to fight with the devils or is there other ulterior motives involved?", Zhan Chen muttered with a doubtful expression.


    Ying Chao felt surprised after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. He had never seen a youngster with such a meticulous thought prowess. He had already seen Zhan Chen''s miraculous abilities but this time he witnessed his intellect which could bepared to an experienced person.


    "You are right. No force will take action without any benefit. The show of benevolence is only matter of convenience. The true reason for such a cooperation is the uing opening of the Archaic pce", Ying Chao spoke slowly.


    "Archaic pce?", Zhan Chen feigned ignorance in open but inwardly he was shocked. Because imperial family tried to conceal information regarding the Archaic pce at first but now situation seemed to have altered. An elder from the Xuantian sect now knew about the Archaic pce. It only meant either imperial family or the secretive Spirit pce had revealed information about the imminent opening of the Archaic pce.


    "Yes, the true motive behind this alliance to secure entry to the Archaic pce. The devils are invading the Northern desert continent for this very reason. Now the forces in the Northern desert continent have also banded together to fight for this very reason. Everything is driven out of interest. It is shameful that our Xuantian sect couldn''t see through the true motive behind the devils'' action and we have to lose many of our inner court disciples", Ying Chao spoke with self mocking tone. Zhan Chen could see that he was really sad because of the death of so many inner court disciples.


    "Senior, you can tell me about the mission. I will give you an answer after weighing all the risks and rewards", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, you should forget about what we have just talked now. The information regarding Archaic pce is secretive and I am sure that many core disciples of other forces are not yet aware about it. To realise the ultimate goal of the alliance, our Northern desert continent has to drive away the devil forces. This way all the ordinary inhabitants can be saved from the devils'' ws and the forces of the Northern desert continent will benefit. Everyone''s interest aligned together here. We should focus on battling the devils. It has to be done whether for survival or to acheive our interest", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Senior, I understand. We should co-operate with other powers to drive away the devils. Removing the devils will serve the interest of our Xuantian sect perfectly", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Good, let''s not speak about the Archaic pce for now. Even my information is very limited. I want you to give priority to the sect''s mission", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Senior, please tell me the details", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "The alliance will be fare to all. Each devil you kill will be counted as your military merit. There are various ranks in the alliance and you will rise through the ranks, the more you ughter the devils. You are free to choose your group. You will be responsible for carrying out the missions in Xuantian sect''s behalf. You have to work under one of our inner court elder but he will not restrict your movement. You are free to move in the battlefield. All we need is how much devils you ughter. The better our sect disciple''s perform, the more our Sect can rise in the alliance. You can exchange your military contribution points for anything you need. Cultivation sources, refining materials, ves,nd, country, you can obtain anything you want as long as you have enough contribution points", Ying Chao spoke.

    "Land and country! Which power will allow another person to grab theirnd?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ying Chao. He was more interested in this alliance now as it was promising suchvish rewards.


    "There are many barren and unexplorednds in the Northern desert continent. There are many areas under sects'' administration which is not controlled by the imperial army. There is also the Cloud province which is not controlled by any forces. Anyone can request a suitable piece ofnd after umting enough contribution points", Ying Chao replied.


    "How many contribution points for we exactly need to request a piece ofnd?", Zhan Chen asked with a speck of curiousity in his eyes. Ying Chao felt slight surprised because it was the first time he found Zhan Chen to show so much interest in a reward.


    "Zhan Chen, do you want and of your own?", Ying Chao asked.


    "Yes, I have my nning for it. Can you tell me how much contribution points do I need?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "It depends upon whichnd you want. If it is a barrennd, no one will care about it. But if you want and suitable for cultivation, it''s requirement will be astronomical", Ying Chao replied.


    "You will find out the details once you visit the alliance headquarter. The better your rank, the better your rewards will be. Once you have a upper rank, you can request whatever you desire from the alliance. The alliance will do it''s best to fulfill your request as long as your request is not adversely impacting the interest of other forces", Ying Chao exined.


    "Okay, I understand. I am ready to lead the sect disciples once again. Inform me when we have to leave for the alliance headquarter", Zhan Chen spoke. He was nning to bid farewell to Ying Chao but he sensed several powerful auras approaching the Oakridge town.


    Ying Chao sensed the powerful auras after few moments. A relieved expression appeared on his face as he looked towards the distance. "They are finally here", he murmured to himself.


    The powerful auras approached very fast and revealed themselves after appearing inside the Oakridge town. A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face when he noticed the bloody wounds on Shui Liying''s body. He took a look at other emperors and found all of them injured more or less. The most injured one was Hu Tao and Shui Liying.


    "What happened to her?", Zhan Chen frowned. His anger rose slowly the more he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Zhan Chen, it is good to see you safe", Fu Deming spoke. There were small injuries on his body but he didn''t seem to care at all.


    "Senior, there is an urgent matter, I want to speak with you. Pleasee to the base. Other emperors also need to be informed. So, I request everyone toe to our base", Ying Chao spoke with a grave expression.


    "Senior brother, I am taking my leave. Please inform me after I leave seclusion", Shui Liying spoke. She threw a look at Zhan Chen before flying towards a corner of the Oak ridge town.


    "Husband, I will wait for you", she sent a mentalmunication to Zhan Chen before flying away.


    "Zhan Chen, are youing?", Ying Chao asked. Zhan Chen shook his head. "I want to have a good rest before taking another mission", Zhan Chen spoke. Ying Chao didn''t insist and flew away with other emperors.


    "Zhan Chen, you are not allowed to walk out from our agreement. I have already gathered the ingredients. We will have our alchemypetetion tomorrow", Zhan Chen received another mentalmunication when the emperors were flying towards the base. It was Huang Mei who was reminding him about the alchemy contest, he had arranged with her.


    "I am looking forward to it", Zhan Chen muttered. A faint desire lit up on his face as he observed the distant figure of Huang Mei. Huang Mei as an emperor would allow him to reach the Heavenly tribtion realm smoothly. He was looking forward for the alchemy contest with her. But he knew what was the priority at this moment. He waited for the emperors topletely disappear before walking towards the direction where Shui Liying had gone.


    Shui Liying had choosen an one storied house this time. She came forward to greet Zhan Chen as soon as she sensed his presence. "Husband", she called out sweetly. Her face was pale at this moment due to her injury but a smile appeared on her face as soon she saw Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt slightly pained in his heart after seeing her condition. He hurried forward to hold her and led her towards a room. He used his essence energy and swept away all the dust from a wooden bed. He guided her to sit down and used his essence energy to clean the room where they were staying.


    "Let me check your injury", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t wait for her to reply before sending in his soul consciousness into her body.


    Shui Liying was astonished after sensing how mighty the soul consciousness of Zhan Chen was. She stayed startled for a while before calming down. A smile appeared on her face after she find out how formidable her husband was.


    "Who has attacked you like this? Beside your physical injuries, there are soul injuries as well", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Husband, no need to worry about my injuries. I will be fine after few days rest. As for soul injury, senior brother Deming has given me a peak Sky grade pill. So, I think I will be alright", Shui Liying replied.


    "A sky grade pill to heal your soul injuries? Are you kidding? You need at least a heaven grade soul nourishment pill to heal your soulpletely", Zhan Chen retorted. He took a look at Shui Liying once again and a murderous aura came out from his body.


    "Husband, why are you angry? I promise I be fine after few days of rest", Shui Liying held Zhan Chen''s hand with a concerned expression. She didn''t want Zhan Chen to do anything stupid in her behalf. So, she want Zhan Chen to calm down.


    Zhan Chen tried to reign in his anger after seeing her concerned expression. "Let me check your soul", he spoke after calming down.


    Shui Liying didn''t hesitate even for a single moment before letting go of her soul defence. Zhan Chen felt a pang in his heart after realising her love and trust towards him. ''I will definitely collect your debt. But there is no hurry. Let me heal you first'', he thought to himself.


    He tapped upon a pseudo soul he had formed and extracted soul energy from it. Shui Liying waspletely startled at this moment after sensing the pure soul energy flowing towards her her soul.


    "Concentrate. Try to assimte the soul energy", Zhan Chen reminded her. Shui Liying didn''t let her mind wander and focused to heal her soul.


    It took only fifteen minutes for Shui Liying to recover. She noticed the soul energy was still flowing. So, she assimted the soul energy into her soul. The inflow of soul energy continued untill her soul reached the peak of the sixth stage. "Stabilize your soul properly. We will talk after youe out of seclusion", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 423 A blissful night

    Chapter 423 A blissful night


    Zhan Chen walked out of Shui Liying''s ce after providing her with a lot of soul energy to cultivate. Her soul had reached the peak of the sixth stage of the Law glimpse realm with his help but she had to cultivate for a while to stabilize her soul.


    "It will probably take few hours for her to cultivate. Let''s look for others while she is cultivating. I wille to see her after visiting Yin Ran, Ling Hui and Sima Chunhua", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He returned to his living quarter and spread his soul consciousness. All of his group members were staying in the nearby quarters. So, he didn''t have to look much before he found where Yin Ran and Ling Hui were staying.


    Both of the girls were not cultivating and it was ideal time to spend some time with them but Zhan Chen faced another problem. Their close sister Xue Yi was staying with them and all three seemed to be chatting happily with eachother.


    "Well, I have kissed her already. Now, it is upto her if she wants to be my woman", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He didn''t feel bothered about the presence of Xue Yi and decided to interrupt their conversation.


    The wooden door made a creaking noise as Zhan Chen entered inside the room. All three girls were sitting on a wooden mat while talking with eachother. All of them turned their heads to see who interrupted their conversation.


    "Senior brother!", Hui Ling eximed ion delight after seeing Zhan Chen. Yin Ran was also excited to see Zhan Chen in the midnight. Compared to her enthusiastic sisters, Xue Yi was feeling shy. "Senior brother Chen", she called out politely as both of her cheeks got reddened.


    "I hope all of you are doing fine. It has been a while since I spend time with you girls alone. So, I decided to check on you today", Zhan Chen spoke.


    heard many things about Zhan Chen from her sisters. Aside from how awesome his 15:08


    cultivation was, he helped both of them in raising their cultivation to Martial "Senior brother, thank you for visiting us. Will you stay for a while?", Yin Ran asked in anticipation.


    "Of course. Why else will I bother you girls?", Zhan Chen smiled. He took a look at Yin Ran and Hui Ling before looking at Xue Yi.


    "Miss Yi, what do you think? Are you nning to stay tonight or are you nning to run away? I am fine with both of your decisions", Zhan Chen spoke in a carefree manner.


    "I will stay", Xue Yi spoke with a courageous expression. Her pretty face waspletely reddened but she still decided to match her eyes with Zhan Chen.


    "Are you sure?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrows.


    "I am sure", Xue Yi replied. She had thought things through in these few days. She had heard many things about Zhan Chen from her sisters. Aside from how awesome his cultivation was, he helped both of them in raising their cultivation to Martial ascension realm.


    He had too many attracting traits. The only demerit he had that he had too many women. She was initially hesitant but after thinking things through, she had realised one thing.


    With Zhan Chen, she could still retain her own freedom. At least, Zhan Chen was respecting her opinion. But if she didn''t be his woman, she would have to be a concubine of a scumbag without her own will.


    With Zhan Chen, she could pursue her own happiness. She will share a man with her sisters and could stay with her sisters for lifetime. After thinking throughly, she found taking Zhan Chen as her man was not a bad idea. Moreover, it was not like she didn''t find Zhan Chen attractive. His every action, every words were enough to agitate her little heart. So, she decided to pick the best option and willingly be Zhan Chen''s woman if she was given a chance.


    "Good, it is my honour to take a girl like you as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke. He took a good look at Xue Yi from her head to toe and a hint of desire appeared in his eyes.


    "You will not mind being seen by your sisters, right?", Zhan Chen asked her. Xue Yi blushed heavily but still replied, "I don''t mind".


    "Good, take off your clothes. Let me see how beautiful you are under your dress", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Xue Yi took a look at her sisters and found them looking at her intently. "Sister Yi, don''t feel shy", Hui Ling encouraged.


    Yin Ran was one step ahead as she pulled off the belt of Xue Yi. Xie Yi saw the look of interest in Zhan Chen''s eyes. So, she started to undress herself so as not to disappoint Zhan Chen.


    She had a perfect figure hidden underneath her clothes. She was prettier than her sisters to begin with. Now after exposing her assets, she seemed like a goddess in between mortals.


    The moonlight was scattering into the room through the window. The soft light was enough to highlight the captivating features of Xue Yi. Even her sisters were taken aback after seeing Xue Yi''s true beauty.


    "Magnificent. It will be a waste to not savour such a beauty", Zhan Chen spoke. He took a look at Hui Ling and Yin Ran and found them stood stunned while looking at their close sister.


    "What do you two say? Is not she beautiful?", Zhan Chen asked Hui Ling and Yin Ran.


    "Senior brother, I feel ashamed. I am not as beautiful as her. How I wish, I could be more beautiful and please senior brother better", Hui Ling spoke. Look of envy was in her eyes as she stared towards Xue Yi. Thest line she thought in her heart but Zhan Chen saw through her thoughts using Heart seeking technique. Even Yin Ran was envious of Xue Yi''s beauty.


    Xue Yi covered her assets after hearing Hui Ling''s statement. She revealed herself to please Zhan Chen but she didn''t know that her act could bring dissatisfaction to her sister''s heart.


    "Xue Yi, can you wait a little?", she heard the voice of Zhan Chen in her mind. She raised her head and found Zhan Chen looking towards her. The look of desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes had faded away and he was looking at her with a calm gaze. Xue Yi nodded her head slightly.


    "Yin Ran, Hui Ling,e over", Zhan Chen ordered. He had a prating gaze while looking at both the girls and Yin Ran and Hui Ling became nervous. They felt like Zhan Chen could see through their heart and read all of their thoughts.


    They walked towards Zhan Chen nervously and stood before him. Both of their palms were already sweaty due to nervousness.


    "Undress yourself", Zhan Chen spoke coldly. Both of them followed his order and undressed themselves. Their curvy bodies appeared infront of Zhan Chen after they made themselvespletely naked.


    "Stand on your fours", Zhan Chenmanded. Both of them obeyed his order and knelt down on their fours.


    "Look away from me. Both of you should face your sister", Zhan Chen spoke. Yin Ran and Hui Ling felt helpless but they still turned to face Xue Yi.


    "Keep looking at her while answering me. Tell me, where you have gone wrong? ", Zhan Chen asked.


    Both of them stayed silent but inwardly they were feeling guilty.


    "Pah!", a loud pnded on Hui Ling''s buttock as she looked towards Xue Yi. Zhan Chen caressed the buttock of Yin Ran but didn''t give her a p as she expected.


    He asked both of the girls once again where they had gone wrong. His hand ovement was skillful and Hui Ling felt currents of pleasure coarsing through her body. She was craving for more sensual rub when another loud pnded on her buttocks.


    "Tell me, where you have gone wrong?", Zhan Chen asked again. A drop of water slid out from the eyes of Hui Ling due to the burning sensation on her buttock. Zhan Chen used his hand movement once again and rubbed his tender buttock.


    "Senior brother, please stop. I admit my mistake", Hui Ling begged. She was really wary of the bittersweet sensation she was receiving at this moment. Just one more p and she would embarass herself infront of her sisters. It was one thing to wet herself during dual cultivation but she was receiving punishment at this moment. She would be ashamed if she wet herself while receiving punishment.


    "Tell me, what you have done wrong?", Zhan Chen asked her. He didn''t stop rubbing her buttocks while asking her question.


    "Senior brother, I shouldn''t be jealous towards sister Xue Yi", Hui Ling admitted. She was ashamed to see her sister but Zhan Chen had strictmand to look at Xue Yi.


    "Ask her if she has forgiven you?", Zhan Chen spoke. He groped Hui Ling''s buttocks while asking her question.


    "Sister Yi, I am sorry", Hui Ling spoke. Xue Yi was not sure what to say after seeing her dear sister in such a situation.


    "Senior brother, please forgive her", she mustered up her courage and spoke to Zhan Chen.


    "Yin Ran, do you know your mistake?", Zhan Chen shifted his focus towards Yin Ran. He was doing this so that all three of them could live together like before. Envy, jealousy was a bad thing. It could cloud reasons and drove humans to unreasonable thing. So, he chose to discipline Yin Ran and Hui Ling. So that, they could stay as easy going as they were before seeing the naked body of their sister.


    "Senior brother, I am wrong", Yin Ran spoke. Zhan Chen didn''t punish her but she felt the experience was tormenting. She spoke sorry to her sister and Xue Yi was magnanimous enough to forgive both of her sisters. She threw a grateful look towards Zhan Chen as she couldn''t bear to lose both of her sisters due to envy and jealousy.


    "Both of you look at me", Zhan Chen asked both Hui Ling and Yin Ran. He supported them to stand up and made them look towards him.


    "Senior brother, I do", both of the girls spoke in unison. All three of their eyes met and Zhan Chen could see their emotions from him in their eyes. He leaned forward to kiss and shared passionate kisses with both Yin Ran and Hui Ling.


    "You know, I like you two. Then what is the need to feel inferior", Zhan Chen asked. He ced a kiss at both of their lips and looked towards both Yin Ran and Hui Ling.

    Chapter 424 A blissful night (2)


    "Senior brother, we are sorry", Ying Chao and Hui Ling said in unison. "Miss Xue Yi,e join us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Xue Yi felt nervous as she walked towards Zhan Chen, Hui Ling and Yin Ran. Zhan Chen pulled her closer and ced his lips on her lips.


    Her lips were soft and glossy. Zhan Chen nibbled on them for a while untill he was satisfied. Xue Yi''s actions were extremely stiff as she was actually a very reserved girl. Zhan Chen patiently taught her how to kiss and she finally learned how to reciprocate a passionate kiss.


    Zhan Chen invaded her mouth with his tongue and tasted her sweet tasting nectar. Xue Yi reciprocated with passion and both of their tongues kept chasing eachother. Xue Yi felt her body was heating up, the longer she shared a kiss with Zhan Chen. Her eyes were full of desire by the time Zhan Chen let go of her lips.


    "Watch and learn from your sisters", Zhan Chen spoke. He looked towards Hui Ling and Yin Ran with fire of desire burning in his eyes.


    "Senior brother, let us serve you", Hui Ling spoke. She didn''t wait for Zhan Chen''s reply as she came forward with Yin Ran to undress Zhan Chen.


    take care of the demanding dragon.


    Yin Ran opened her mouth and ced her lips on the forehead of Zhan Chen cooperated with both of the girls as they took off his robe and pant. Finally, his naked, lean and tall body appeared infront of three girls.


    Yin Ran and Hui Ling looked downward and saw the familiar dragon looking at them. A look of infatuation appeared in their eyes as they went forward to caress it.


    They knelt infront of Zhan Chen and started stroking his dragon. Both of them were eager to please him. So, they did their best to


    take care of the demanding dragon.


    Yin Ran opened her mouth and ced her lips on the forehead of Zhan Chen''s dragon. She made a forward motion with her mouth and Zhan Chen''s dragon entered halfway into his mouth. She started to move her mouth back and forth and a look of enjoyment appeared on Zhan Chen''s face.


    Hui Ling didn''t want to be outdone by her sister. So, she stretched out her tongue and started to leak Zhan Chen''s family jewels. Xue Yi felt a tingling sensation between her thighs as she watched her sisters doing suchscivious acts. She widened her eyes in surprise when Zhan Chen took charge and shoved his entire dragon into Yin Ran''s mouth.


    "Glock! Glock! Glock", ambiguous sounds came out from Yin Ran ''s mouth as Zhan Chen moved his waist. His dragon was covered with Yin Ran''s saliva by the the time he pulled out his dragon from her mouth.


    He looked towards Hui Ling after letting Yin Ran go. Hui Ling opened her mouth involuntarily when Zhan Chen pushed his dragon towards her. Zhan Chen held her head by her hair and started to move his waist. He closed his eyes in pleasure while pounding Hui Ling''s mouth.


    Saliva was dripping from his dragon by the time he let go of Hui Ling. Hui Ling took some quick breathes to shake away the feeling suffocation.


    Zhan Chen took a look at Xue Yi after pulling out his dragon from Hui Ling''s mouth. An evil smile appeared on his face when he saw Xue Yi mping her thighs tightly.


    "Miss Yi,e closer", he beckoned his hand. Xue Yi was nervous but she still walked towards the ce where Zhan Chen was standing. There was anticipation in her heart as few drops of water slid out from her sacred cave.


    "Miss Yi, let me see what you have learned", Zhan Chen spoke. Before Xue Yi could say anything, he lifted her and turned her body upside down.


    "Senior brother?", Xue Yi was startled for a moment but she soon realised what was going on. Zhan Chen wrapped her thighs around his neck as her little sister came extremely close to his mouth.


    "Miss Yi, let me check, how you taste down here", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her thighs closer and ced his mouth on the entrance of her sacred cave.


    Xue Yi felt an intense current of pleasure coarsing through her body. "Mmmm~", she involuntarily moaned as Zhan invaded her little sister with his tongue.


    She showed the proud dragon standing next to her mouth. She understood Zhan Chen''s intention. So, she immediately pushed her mouth towards Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    An intense bput of pleasure ran across Xue Yi''s body and she couldn''t hold back anymore. A great amount of water came out from her sacred cave and drenched Zhan Chen''s face after filling his mouth.


    Her body shivered in the aftertaste of reaching the peak as she clung limply on Zhan Chen''s body. Zhan Chen lifted her back to normal and looked towards her. "How does it feel?", he asked softly.


    "It feels great. Senior brother, thank you", Xue Yi replied with a blush. Her gaze fell upon Zhan Chen''s dragon and she felt it was her duty to reciprocate. She was going to kneel down when Zhan Chen stopped her.


    "Rx, no need to strain yourself. Join us when you feel energetic again", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He shifted his eyes towards Hui Ling and Yin Ran and found both of them looking at him with expectant gaze. "Shall we begin?", he asked them. Both of them nodded their heads happily and waited for Zhan Chen''s instruction.


    "Stand on your fours. I have already started to miss the feeling of dual cultivating with you two girls", Zhan Chen spoke. Both Yin Ran and Hui Ling knelt down immediately and stood on their fours. Their enchanting backs were exposed infront of Zhan Chen as they waited for Zhan Chen''s touch with anticipation.


    Zhan Chen knelt down behind them and ced his mouth on the entrance of Hui Ling''s sacred garden. Hui Ling trembled in pleasure as Zhan Chen explored her cave with his tongue. He pulled out his tongue when Hui Ling was inching closer to her peak. He gave the same treatment to Yin Ran before cing his dragon on the entrance of Hui Ling''s sacred garden.


    It was a wild scene as Zhan Chen pounded both the beauties without any inhibition. He pounded them one by one untill both of them flooded the floor with their yin water.


    Xue Yi didn''t realise when she started to rub the entrance of her sacred cave. She was already on the verge of reaching her peak when Zhan Chen looked towards her.


    "Miss Yi, let me help you", Zhan Chen spoke. He walked towards her and rubbed his dragon on the entrance of her sacred cave. "Senior brother, please push it inside", Xue Yi begged. She didn''t know when she had lost her reason due to overwhelming pleasure.


    "Lie down. We will officially be man and woman after this union", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 425 A conversation

    Chapter 425 A conversation


    Zhan Chen felt he was reaching his peak while pounding Xue Yi. He increased the intensity of his thrusts and finally exploded inside Xue Yi''s sacred cave. A huge amount of yang essence came out and flooded Xue Yi''s little sister.


    "Teach her the Yin nourishment technique", Zhan Chen spoke to Yin Ran and Ling Hui.


    "Do your best to cultivate while you can. There is another waring for us. Ofcourse, you can withdraw if you want. I will talk with elder Chao and send you three to the Xuantian sect if you don''t want to participate in the war. Think carefully and give me an answer, the next time we meet", he spoke while looking towards all the three girls. He nted kisses on all of their lips before leaving their living quarter.


    Zhan Chen sneaked into Sima Chunhua''s abode after bidding farewell to Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi. He spread his soul consciousness and found her still cultivating. Her pretty face appeared calm and serene in the faint glow of moonlight. Zhan Chen chose not to disturb her. So, he left her alone walked back to the one storied house where Shui Liying was cultivating.


    A familiar person was standing outside the one storied house when Zhan Chen went back. He discovered her earlier but still decided to show himself.


    "Zhan Chen!", a slightly surprised voice came out when Zhan Chen approached the one storied house. Huang Mei appeared infront of him and looked towards him with a baffled expression. "What are you doing here?", she inquired.


    "I am waiting for her to leave seclusion. There are few things I want to inform her", Zhan Chen replied with a calm expression. He mixed falsehood with truth without batting an eyelid.


    "What is the hurry? She is in a critical stage in her cultivation now. I don''t know how she manages to get such pure soul energy but it is definitely beneficial for her", Huang Mei spoke. She took a nce at Zhan Chen and suddenly a hunch appeared in her mind.


    "You are the one who help her. Am I right?", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a suspicious expression. It was ridiculous to imagine that someone as young as Zhan Chen could help out an emperor but for some reason Huang Mei thought about such an absurd idea. Her intuition was telling her that Zhan Chen definitely had a hand in Shui Liying ''s blessing.


    ''Is it another ancient pill that he had brought from his contacts?'', Hua Mei thought to herself. Her curiousity towards Zhan Chen increased, the more she observed him.


    "Senior, if you think if I have provided a powerful soul nourishing pill to senior Liying, you are mistaken. With your intellect, you should know that how valuable such a pill would be. Seventh rank pills are already rare and seventh rank soul nourishing pills are even rarer. It is not my turn get my hand on such a pill", Zhan Chen smirked. It was easy for him to read Huang Mei ''s thoughts as she was a crazy woman infatuated with alchemy.


    "Sister Liying must havee across a fortuitous encounter on her own. I will ask her about it after she emerges from her seclusion", Huang Mei spoke. She pushed the matter of Shui Liying''s fortuitous encounter back to her mind and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Have you prepared the Five harmony soul resurgence pill for me? You have promised to handout a pill along with the concoction method", Huang Mei reminded Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen smiled after seeing how overconfident she actually was.


    "Senior, I will not go back on my promise. I will handover a Five harmony soul resurgence pill and it''s concoction method as long as you defeat me", Zhan Chen replied. He took a good look at Huang Mei from head to toe and a greedy expression appeared in his eyes.


    "Senior, you haven''t forgotten about your promise, right?", Zhan Chen looked towards Huang Mei.


    Surprisingly, Huang Mei was not disgusted with Zhan Chen''s greedy look. Rather an amused expression appeared on her face as she saw the desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Brat, you are really bold. You are not slightly afraid infront of me. I wonder where your confidencees from? If it was any other emperor, they would have sted you apart for your impudence", Huang Mei lightly spoke. She had deep curiousity in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    She heard about Zhan Chen''s acheivement after attending the meeting in the Xuantian sect ''s base. He led his group without any casualty even though other groups had suffered from the devils'' sneak attack. It was also him who informed Ying Chao about devils'' presece. Without him, the inner court disciples of the Xuantian sect would have perished in the White mist forest range. Every emperors were full of praise and gratitude towards him. So, it was natural for her to feel curious about Zhan Chen''s secret.


    "Senior, I dare to be impudent because I stand infront of you. I would not have wasted my words like this if It is any other emperor. Others are not as pretty like you. So, I wouldn''t have wasted my breath", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You are close to sister Liying because of her beauty?", Huang Mei suddenly understood. Zhan Chen appeared more amusing to her, the more she got to know about him.


    "Of course, she is like a goddess. So, she is worth all my efforts", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "He..he..he. You are really amusing. I wonder what are you nning to do if I lose by chance in the alchemypetetion", Huang Mei asked. There was a curious expression on her pretty face as she stared at Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I can tell that you are naturally blessed. So, I will thank the heaven for the opportunity it has bestowed upon me and cherish the opportunity properly", Zhan Chen replied. Huang Mei understood the meaning of his words after seeing the greedy look in his eyes.


    She felt hot all of a sudden after seeing the look in Zhan Chen''s eyes. ''What I even thinking? It is impossible between him and me'', she admonished herself in her mind after being distracted by Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I have yet to receive your reply. Will you honour our promise if you get defeated by me?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "You don''t have to worry about it. You can have my first night if you somehow pull together a victory", Huang Mei replied.


    She execused herself after finishing her conversation with Zhan Chen. The morning sun was about to rise in the distant horizon. Zhan Chen took a look at the brightening sky and decided to cultivate for a while.

 Chapter 426 Sect master of the Xuantian sect

    Chapter 426 Sect master of the Xuantian sect


    In the vast expanse of the Northern desert continent, there existed few ces so feared that their names sent shivers down the spines of even the most seasoned cultivators. They were termed as forbiddennds. There were three such forbiddennds, one of them was the Wraithwood Abyss.


    It was a mutated forest where malevolent spirits inhabited the trees. It was located in the western corner of the Cloud province. The origin of the Wraithwood abyss was mysterious but there were some age-old rumours about it.


    It was beleived that it was a prosperous sect long ago but had fallen victim to a mysterious cmity. The spirits of the fallen cultivators failed to escape. Now, they were haunting the entirend making the once prosperednd, one of the forbiddennds of the Northern desert continent.


    There were many mysteries surrounding the Wraithwood Abyss. It was beleived that even the emperors would fall, if they dare venture into the depth of the abyss.


    The wraithwood abyss had the appearance as it''s name suggests. It was a pitch ck abyss surrounded by a cursed forest. Cultivators would avoid entering the surrounding the forest. As for the abyss, even the emperors would cower if they were asked to explore the depth of it.


    On a certain day, when the night sky was shrouded in clouds, a figure emerged from the Wraithwood Abyss. She was riding a majestic silver eagle whose wingspan was almost seven meters.


    The woman seemed otherworldly and valiant all at once. She had long crimson hair which cascaded down her back like a shimmering waterfall. Her eyes had a shimmering brilliance that could pierce through the darkest of shadows.


    Her attire was as captivating as her beauty. She wore a tight-fitting battle robe, entuating her every curve with a mesmerizing allure. Strapped to her back were two finely crafted swords, their hilts seemed extraordinary as they were carved with ancient symbols.


    The mysterious woman had an air of strength and authority, as if she were the embodiment of a phoenix, beautiful yet proud in her character.


    "Why did they send me an emergency signal? Is everything alright with the sect?" she murmured to herself, her voice appeared like a soft melody that echoed in the deste surroundings. Her concern for her sect was evident from her face as she squinted her beautiful eyebrows and thought to herself.


    "Forget it, there is no point in being worried here. I should hurry back to the Earth province", the mysterious woman thought to herself. The silver eagle seemed to understand her thoughts as it let out a long screech. It spread apart it''s long wings and soared away from the Wraithwood Abyss.


    ------------------


    "Junior sister Liying, do you know this expert?", Huang Mei asked. She had a look of curiousity on her face as she sensed a powerful soul consciousness approaching the Oak ridge town.


    "It is that unruly girl Deng Yue. It has been one and half year since I havest seen her", Shui Liying replied with a soft smile on her face.


    "What? This aura belongs to Deng Yue? When did she be so powerful? It has been only fifteen years since she became an emperor", Huang Mei eximed.


    The powerful aura got nearer and soon a faint silhouette of a gigantic bird appeared in the distant horizon. The Heavenly tribtion realm experts of the Xuantian sect sensed the powerful aura as well. All of them rushed into the sky to wee the powerful expert.


    Silhouette of the gigantic bird gradually became clearer. It was a gigantic Sky eagle king. A graceful woman was standing atop the gigantic sky eagle. She was as beautiful as a fairy but her aura was dignified. Her proud eyes scanned across the gathered cultivators when she approached the Oak ridge town.


    "Sect master, wee", disciples started to kneel one after another. Even the inner court elders bowed down to show their respect to the powerful woman.


    "Where is my teacher? There is such a dangerous incident. Yet, you lot didn''t inform me untill now", the graceful looking woman looked towards the gathered inner court elders. Her eyes were piercing as she looked at all the inner court elders one by one.


    The elders who were generally high and mighty, lowered their heads. There was nervousness in most of their faces when they faced the gracious woman.


    "Girly, you are bing more fiercer every day. You have only arrived and you are already disciplining our elders!", a teasing voice came out from the middle of the Oak ridge town.


    "Teacher", a faint smile appeared on the face of the graceful looking woman. "I will check how far our disciples has progressed in this one and half year. I want to know how many of you have listened to me and guided some of our disciples in my absense", the gracious looking woman spoke.


    "We will talk after I meet my teacher", she muttered before flying together with the Sky eagle king. Even Ying Chao had a helpless expression on his face as he looked towards the gracious woman riding the Sky eagle king.


    "Elder Chao, we are done for. The tigress of our sect is getting more stricter every day", an elderined.


    "She has yet to hear about our lose. I can''t even imagine what will happen if she learns about the sneak attack our disciples faced in the White mist forest range", Ying Chao spoke. He had a worried expression on his face as he looked towards the base of the Xuantian sect.


    "Junior sister, this girl has gotten a lot stronger in these few years. With her cultivation, she can now stand among the most powerful experts of our Northern desert continent", Huang Mei spoke.


    "Yes, she is a good seedling. Except her unruly personality, everything else is good about her", Shui Liying nodded her head.


    "What about him? What do you think about his potential?", Huang Mei pointed towards Zhan Chen who was cultivating in a distance.


    "He is different. The least he will reach in the future is the Sage realm. As for his limit, I can''t even predict myself", Shui Liying said with a gentle tone. Huang Mei felt surprised after hearing the words of Shui Liying.


    She knew how proud her junior sister actually was. Most of the talents in the Northern desert continent can''t catch her eyes.With such a proud personality, it was incredible that she had such a high opinion about Zhan Chen.


    "You really think highly of him", Huang Mei spoke. She thought about the contest between Zhan Chen and her and a small doubt appeared in her mind.


    "Junior sister, do you want to watch the alchemy contest between Zhan Chen and me?", Huang Mei asked.


    "I want to watch it", Shui Liying nodded her head.


    "Who do you think will win?", Huang Mei asked lightly. Even she was not sure why she was asking such a question.

 Chapter 427 Deng Yue

    Chapter 427 Deng Yue


    The sun was zing with it''s full glory when Zhan Chen opened his eyes. He was feeling refreshed and energetic after a rxing session of cultivation. He took a look at his surrounding and found two beauties, Shui Liying and Huang Mei talking with eachother at a distance.


    "You are awake", Shui Liying softly spoke. She was keeping an eye on Zhan Chen. So, she immediately knew when he opened his eyes.


    "Good morning seniors", Zhan Chen greeted both the beauties. He was nning to look for Huang Mei aftering out of his seclusion but to his pleasant surprise, she was already waiting for him when he opened his eyes.


    "Zhan Chen, let''s go to the Sect''s base. senior brother Deming is looking for you. You can also meet our sect master who was absent when you joined our Xuantian sect", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Sect master of the Xuantian sect!", Zhan Chen muttered with a surprised expression. A hint of curiousity appeared in his eyes as he agreed to Shui Liying''s suggestion.


    He saw many familiar faces when he entered into the Xuantian sect''s base with Shui Liying and Huang Mei. At the middle of the room, he saw Fu Deming who was sitting with other emperors of the Xuantian sect. There was an unknown beauty sitting among them. She had an extraordinary aura around her. The most eye-catching feature of hers was her hair which was lustrous scarlet in colour.


    "Junior sister Liying, junior sister Mei", Fu Deming greeted both the beautied who stood along with Zhan Chen. Atst, he looked at Zhan Chen with an inquiring expression on his face.


    "Zhan Chen, I have heard that you want to lead out disciples in the Sky dragon alliance?"


    "Senior, I have merely consented to elder Chao''s proposal. It is such a good opportunity for me. So, I thought I would join as well", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Have you think things throughly? It would be very dangerous", Fu Deming reminded.


    "Senior, I have taken the decision after weighing all the benefits and risks involved", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Girl, what do you think? Shall we allow him to enlist in the Sky dragon alliance?", Fu Deming looked towards the enchanting beauty sitting with him. Zhan Chen felt puzzled as he couldn''t understand why Fu Deming was consulting an unknown beauty.


    "Husband, she is our sect master. She is also the only disciple of elder brother Deming", Shui Liying sent a mentalmunication to Zhan Chen.


    "She is the sect master!", Zhan Chen looked at the beauty with a surprised expression. He greeted the beauty after being aware about her identity.


    "I have heard about you from teacher. It seems like Zhan n has produced a good descendant after staying hidden for so long", the beauty looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Sect master overpraises me", Zhan Chen spoke lightly. He was curious to know what attitude this sect master would have towards him.


    "Teacher, there is no problem in allowing him to join the Sky dragon alliance. But before that, I want to see his skills for myself. Considering his identity, aunt Wu Li most be worried about him. So, I will not let him act foolishly if he do not have the ability", the enchanting beauty spoke.


    "Do as you please. We need to select the disciples who will go to the Jade harmony city. As for the rest, they can return to the Xuantian sect", Fu Deming spoke.


    "Aunt Liying", the enchanting beauty appeared next to Shui Liying after finishing her conversation with Fu Deming. She greeted Shui Liying and Huang Mei properly before focusing her eyes on Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen sensed a powerful soul consciousness trying to see through his body. He manipted his essence energy and leaked an aura belonged to a beginner Martial ascension realm cultivator.


    Since arriving in the Centralnd, he was pretending to be a Core condensation realm cultivator. He had already proved his capability but his age and low cultivation seemed to create some doubts in the mind of the upper echelons of the sect.


    Zhan Chen wanted the Xuantian sect to allow him in a leadership position when he entered the Sky dragon alliance. That would made things more convenient for him. So, to assure his leadership role, he decided to expose his capability a little. He was nning to break into the Heavenly tribtion realm soon. So, he thought, it didn''t matter even if he exposed himself as a first stage Martial ascension realm cultivator.


    "You are indeed talented. Only eighteen yet already an ascension realm cultivator", the beautu lightlymented. The gathered emperors eximed after hearing the words of the enchanting beauty. None of them were aware about the extent of Zhan Chen''s cultivation. They had tried to spy on his cultivation but they couldn''t see through his cultivation base. Now after hearing the words of the enchanting beauty, they finally learned about Zhan Chen''s cultivation.


    "Good, with such a cultivation base, he can be an emperor before reaching forty", Yang Yukong, the peak master of the Sword sectmented.


    "We should nurture him properly. Who knows, he may be an emperor before reaching thirty", Hu Tao, the peak master of the Martial peak added.


    "Will you ept a duel with me? I will limit my cultivation to the peak of the Core condensation realm?", the enchanting beauty looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "dly. It will be my pleasure to experience the techniques of the sect master", Zhan Chen replied politely.


    "Follow me", the enchanting beauty spoke before wrapping his essence energy around Zhan Chen. She took Zhan Chen out of the Oak ridge town and Shui Liying and Huang Mei followed behind her.


    "Zhan Chen, what is your rtionship with aunt Liying? I can tell that she is very much concerned about you", the enchanting beauty asked.


    "Sect master, I have proved my talent in alchemy to her. So, it is natural that she takes care of me sometimes", Zhan Chen replied. The enchanting beauty looked at Zhan Chen with a sceptical expression but she couldn''t tell whether Zhan Chen was telling her lies or truth.


    "Sect master, if it is not too much, can you tell me your name? It is cumbersome to call you sect master every time we meet", Zhan Chen asked.


    "My surname is Deng and my name is Yue. You can call me elder sister Yue if you want", the enchanting beauty spoke. She was generally cold and proud but Zhan Chen could tell that she was being lenient to him.


    Deng Yue flew with Zhan Chen for a while. She stopped only after reaching apletely secluded location. Shui Liying and Huang Mei were flying behind Deng Yue. Both of them stopped at a distance and focused their eyes on Deng Yue and Zhan Chen.


    "Junior sister, what is this girl nning? If she really gets serious, Zhan Chen may not be his match", Huang Mei spoke.


    "Don''t worry. She may be fierce towards others but she wouldn''t harm Zhan Chen considering his rtionship with elder sister Wu Li. She may be nning to guide him before he joins the battle of the Sky dragon alliance", Shui Liying replied. Although she spoke optimistic words, her heart was not at ease. She focused her eyes on the ce where both Deng Yue and Zhan Chen was standing.


    "I am giving you a chance to attack first. Be quick, otherwise you may not get a chance to draw your weapon", Deng Yue spoke. She took out two long swords from her spatial ring and held them in a defensive posture. Her aura continued to decline and she stopped only when she reduced her aura to that of a peak Core condensation realm expert.


    Zhan Chen didn''t want to keep her waiting. So, he took out a sword from his spatial ring. He could tell that Deng Yue was a skillful fighter. So, he decided to fight seriously for once and clenched his sword tightly.


    He swung his sword towards Deng Yue and a nted sh went flying towards her. "You have wasted your opportunity", Deng Yue spoke as she moved to her side.


    "It is only beginning", Zhan Chen calmly retorted. He stabbed into the air with his sword and a gust of wind came stabbing towards Deng Yue''s belly.


    The attack was first. So, Deng Yue had to defend herself with her sword. Zhan Chen didn''t relent as heunched one attack after another.


    Deng Yue''s eyes lit up with interest after she defended against several rounds of attack from Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen could tell that she was getting excited the longer he fought with her.


    "She really has the spirit of a warrior. Hopefully, she will give me a good fight", Zhan Chen thought. At some point, he stopped attacking and let Deng Yue attack him.


    To his surprise, Deng Yue swung both of her swords one by one and two attacks approached him from two different angles. Her attacks were extremely coordinated and one would find it very difficult to stop both of her attacks.


    "Good one", he praised. He swung his sword in a circr manner and stopped both of her attacks urately. His body moved in tandem with his sword and it seemed like his he waspletely in sync with his weapon.


    "Not bad. Try stopping my next attack", Deng Yue spoke. She used both of her swords again andunched a long range attack towards Zhan Chen. Energy from both of her attacksbined in midway and became a serpentine creature. The serpentine creature moved in an undting path as it crashed towards Zhan Chen.


    "Both visualisation and form", Zhan Chen''s eyes lit up with interest. He swung his sword in a full arc and a half moon like sh intercepted the serpentine attack.

 Chapter 428 A hearty battle

    Chapter 428 A hearty battle


    The half moon slicer attack collided with the Serpentine attack and a small explosion ured. Zhan Chen had to take a step back to stabilize his body.


    "Well, You are already proficient in condensing sword rays. But this is not enough if you want to participate in a full fledged battle. Let me see what level your sword expertize has reached", Deng Yue spoke.


    Her aura suddenly changed as she gave off a sharp aura from her body. "Sword intent", Zhan Chen murmured slowly. His fighting spirit rose as he unleashed his own sword intent as well.


    His sword intent was extremely sharp and it collided the sword intent of Deng Yue. Deng Yue had a tyrannical sword intent but Zhan Chen''s sword intent was extremely pure. It felt like as if a treasured sword was ced in his ce instead of him.


    ''What a pure sword intent!'', Deng Yue felt surprised inwardly. But outside, she didn''t show any emotion. She focused her eyes on Zhan Chen andunched two extremely fast attacks.


    Zhan Chen waspletely prepared this time. He swung his sword andunched a counterattack of his own. Two extremely fast attacks collided with eachother and the explosion of essence energy was heard in the surrounding.


    "Zhan Chen, wielding sword is only a matter of convenience for me. My real strength lies in my elemental affinity. Do you want to give it a try?", Deng Yue asked.


    "Elder sister, you have already put a limitation on yourself. It is only fair that you will use your other capabilities and expertise. To speak the truth, I rarely meet a good opponent. So, I will appreciate if elder sister do not hold back", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a look of yearning in his eyes as he looked towards Deng Yue.


    "Okay, I will not hold back anymore. Let me know if my attacks are too much for you", Deng Yue warned.


    The environment around her changed subtly as a fierce wind blew. The wind was not gentle at all. Rather it felt too hot to Zhan Chen''s skin.


    "Dual element attribute!", Zhan Chen murmured with a slightly surprised expression. From the fierce wind, he could tell that Deng Yue was proficient in manipting both the fire element and the wind element.


    "Inferno breeze thrust", Deng Yue suddenly thrusted both of her swords towards Zhan Chen and a burning sword came shing towards him. The attack was extremely swift and fierce. It appeared before him even before he could react.


    Zhan Chen used Ethereal cloud steps and shifted his body to the side. A dull sound was heard as the Inferno breeze thrustnded on the ground. There was a two feet deep burning hole appeared on the ground where the thrust wasnded.


    "ze typhoon strike", Deng Yueunched another attack as soon as she doneunching her first attack. Zhan Chen dodged hurriedly as a burning sh came crashing towards his chest.


    "Windbreaker sword", Zhan Chen decided tounch an preemptive attack as soon as he dodged her second attack. He swung his sword upward andunched a verical sh towards Deng Yue.


    Deng Yue swung her twin swords and defended herself. Her eyes gleamed with interest as she observed the battle hunger in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Spectacr attacks came from both the sides as Zhan Chen and Deng Yue traaded blows. The sky was glimmering with colourful brilliance as both of them employed various techniques they had learned so far in their lives.


    Both Deng Yue and Zhan Chen seemed to be equally matched at first. But gradually, Deng Yue fell into a disadvantage. Zhan Chen''s attacks became more powerful and fierce, the longer he fought with Deng Yue. Finally a time came when Deng Yue had to use the cultivation of Martial ascension realm to defend herself.


    "Elder sister Yue, please keep attacking. I would like to have a battle with equal cultivation base", Zhan Chen requested.


    "Okay", Deng Yue smiled softly. She was hesitant to employ all her power at first but gradually she immersed herself in the battle. Zhan Chen''s attacks were an eye opener for her as she got to learn some ingenious ways to use essence energy. Zhan Chen also learned few tricks which Deng Yue had employed in the battle.


    It was first time in this life that he got to use most of his sword techniques in a battle. Zhan Chen let go of all of his restraints and started to attack Deng Yue freely. Deng Yue slowly fell into a disadvantage once again after fighting Zhan Chen for a while.


    "Let''s increase another cultivation stage. If he can still push me into a corner, I will admit my inferiority", Deng Yue thought to herself. She loosened up the restriction on her cultivation base and used a cultivation of second stage Martial ascension realm to fight Zhan Chen.


    Both of them employed powerful techniques unique to Martial ascension realm cultivators. There were numerous collision sounds as both Deng Yue and Zhan Chen traded blows. Both of them didn''t even realise that they were fighting for hours already. Huang Mei was nning to stop them but Shui Liying didn''t allow her to interfere.


    "Senior sister, don''t stop them. I can tell that both of them are enjoying this fight. Little girl Yue is already fighting with a cultivation of second stage of the Martial ascension realm. If she couldn''t overpower Zhan Chen with a higher cultivation base, she would give up definitely. We just need to wait patiently for one of them to stop", Shui Liying spoke.


    The battle was fierce and deadly. None of them are using their most potent moves but their normal techniques were enough to cause lethal damage to their opponents. "Sacred lumininiscence of the mighty heaven", Zhan Chenunched a blinding attack towards Deng Yue. It was one of favourite techniques he often used in his past life.


    "Inferno Zephyr sh", Deng Yue was not familiar with this attack of Zhan Chen. So, sheunched one of her potent attack hurriedly.


    The blinding light engulfed her attackpletely and approached her at a lightning speed. Deng Yue count even offer up a resistance as the blinding light engulfed her.


    The attack subsided after few seconds. Deng Yue was not injured at all as she saved herself by using an essence energy shield but her mind waspletely at chaos at this moment. The profoundness of Zhan Chen''sst attack, far exceeded her expectation.


    "Little brother Chen, I admit my inferiority. I am no match for you in the same cultivation level", she admitted her lose frankly.


    "Elder sister, It is I who should thank you. I really enjoyed this battle. Elder sister is so proficient in fighting. I feel I can spend days battling with you like today", Zhan Chen spoke.


    A smile appeared on Deng Yue''s beautiful face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She felt, she could spend more time with this junior brother of hers.


    "Little brother, let''s head back to the Oak ridge town. It has been hours since we have left our base", Deng Yue spoke.

 Chapter 429 Arrangement

    Chapter 429 Arrangement


    "Elder sister, do you have someone you like?", Zhan Chen asked after flying for a while with Deng Yue. He liked this beautiful elder sister''spany very much. So, he decided to try his luck and started a conversation.


    "No, my pursuit is Martial path. So, how can I think about rtionship? Moreover, none in my generation has ever defeated me. So, it is impossible to ept someone less talented than me", Deng Yue replied. Zhan Chen could feel how alienated she was from matter of heart.


    "Elder sister, you are so beautiful. There most be many men who are pursuing you", Zhan Chenmented.


    "There used to be few. But I have always challenged them to a battle and beat them up. None of them dare to pester me after being beaten several times", Deng Yue spoke. A disdainful expression was on her face when she talked about her past pursuers.


    "Elder sister, what if I want to pursue you? Will you give a chance?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile on his face. Surprisingly, Deng Yue didn''t lose her temper like she always do.


    "Little brat, what are you even thinking? Have you considered your age? It is impossible no matter how much you think", Deng Yue knocked the forehead of Zhan Chen with a smile on her face.


    "Elder sister, will you allow me to try an enchantment technique on you? If it fails, I will not bother you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You are really persistent. How can you think of pursuing me even with our age gap?", Deng Yueined after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She felt little amused as well after hearing Zhan Chen''s constant pestering.


    "It is because elder sister is so beautiful. As for age, who cares about it? Elder sister is already an emperor. So, you will stay beautiful even if few centuries passed", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Okay, I will let you try your technique once we reach the Oak ridge town. No matter what the result, I want you to clear all these little thoughts of yours from your brain. It will be best if you focus your attention on increasing your cultivation", Deng Yue replied.


    "Thank you elder sister. You are really generous. I promise, I will focus my attention on cultivating", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Elder sister, when can we have a duel again?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "After you break through another stage", Deng Yue replied. They reached the periphery of the Oak ridge town while talking with eachother.


    "Let''s go to the base", Deng Yue spoke. She brought Zhan Chen along with her and flew towards the base of the Xuantian sect.


    Disciples were already gathered infront of Xuantian sect''s base when Deng Yue and Zhan Chen got there. Shui Liying and Huang Mei were following behind them. So, theynded together infront of Xuantian sect''s base along with Deng Yue and Zhan Chen.


    "Are they ready to travel to the Jade Harmony city?", Deng Yue asked a nearby elder.


    "Yes, they arepletely ready. Few of them are injured. But they still choose to join the battle of the Sky dragon alliance", the elder replied.


    "Where is elder Chao?", Deng Yue asked.


    "Elder Chao is speaking with other emperors at this moment", the elder informed.


    "Follow me. I need to see what arrangements they have made for our disciples", Deng Yue spoke. She strode inside the Xuantian sect''s base and Zhan Chen, Shui Liying and Huang Mei followed after her.


    Hushed murmurs came from the gathered disciples after Deng Yue and Zhan Chen left. All of them were amazed that Zhan Chen became close to their ellusive sect master.


    "Senior sister Chunhua, this senior brother Chen is amazing. He is able to get close with our sect master in such a short period", a male disciple in Sima Chunhua''s group spoke.


    "He is already close to elder Chao. Moreover, I have heard that he has backing of several emperors in our sect. Now if we add our sect master into the mix, none would dare offend senior brother Chen in future", another disciple added.


    "What about other core disciples? They would definitely feel jealous about senior brother Chen''s rise", a female disciple asked. She had a good impression of Zhan Chen since she had seen him in the past.


    "Our inner court disciples are alreadypeteting with eachother in secret. As for the Core disciples, therepetition is lot fiercer than you imagine. For example, we are currently following Senior sister Chunhua and senior sister Lingyi. Every core disciples has a group of disciples following after them. They will fight personally and with the help their groups in both covertly and open. The core disciple who has arger fist can only upy cultivation resources in our Xuantian sect.


    As for senior brother Chen, he has no capable follower by his side. As for how powerful he is, it is yet to ascertained. No matter how powerful he is, there most be a limit after all. His only constraint is he is too young. If he does not hide his edge, he wil definitely face a cmity sooner orter", a wise looking disciple spoke. He didn''t notice the change of expression on Sima Chunhua''s face after hearing his words.


    "Junior brother, I will not let anyone touch you", she thought to herself in her heart. There was a hint of determination appeared in her eyes when she looked towards the base of the Xuantian sect.


    --------------------


    "Girly, have you tested him?", Fu Deming asked Deng Yue.


    "Yeah, he is very talented. Even I am no match for him in same cultivation base", Deng Yue replied.


    "You are no match?", all the emperors present felt surprised for a moment. All of them knew how fierce the tigress of their sect was. Yet, Zhan Chen able to defeat her.


    "Seniors, elder sister is joking. She went easy on me", Zhan Chen added from the side.


    "That most be be the case. But it is incredible that you are able to convince your elder sister about your strength", Fu Deming spoke with a smile on her face.


    "It is decided now that you are going to lead our sect in the Sky dragon alliance. There will be three more core disciples who will lead their separate groups. Together, four of you will lead our Xuantian sect forces in the Sky dragon alliance", Fu Deming spoke.


    "Let''s decide who is going to the Jade harmony city with our disciples?", Fu Deming spoke.


    "I will be going. Elder Chao and four more inner court elders will apany me", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Are you willing to ept the role of a protector?", Fu Deming asked.


    "I do. I will not let out sect face a disastrous lose once again. Moreover, there is the treachery of devils in the White mist forest range. I will make sure that they will pay the price", Deng Yue replied.


    "Junior brother Yukong, apany this girl. Lend her a hand when you think it is necessary", Fu Deming spoke.


    "Senior brother, don''t worry. I will apany sect master to the Jade harmony city", Yang Yukong, the peak master of the Sword peak replied.


    "Rest of us, there is no need to go to the Jade harmony city. There is no point in bickering with some scheming fools. Let them decide what they want our Xuantian sect to do. If need arises, we can join with Yukong and girly Yueter", Fu Deming spoke.

 Chapter 430 Going back to the Serene bamboo peak

    Chapter 430 Going back to the Serene bamboo peak


    "Let me have few words with little brother Chen. All of you go prepare for our travel to the Jade harmony city", Deng Yue spoke. She took Zhan Chen to a nearby room after giving hermand.


    "Let me see whatever enchanting technique you are practicing. You need to hurry up though, we don''t have much time", Deng Yue spoke. There was a curious expression on her beautiful face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Elder sister, you can''t me me. You are allowing me to use my technique on you", Zhan Chen spoke. A brilliant glow appeared in his eyes as she looked towards Deng Yue.


    ''Soul seed technique'', he murmured inside his mind and an imperceptible illusory strand floated towards Deng Yue. Deng Yue didn''t even feel anything as Zhan Chen used the Soul seed technique on her.


    "Elder sister, will you allow me to visit the Jade harmony cityter? I have some matters to deal with in the Xuantian sect. At most it will take a day''s time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No problem. You can visit the Xuantian sect and join uster. But what about your enchantment technique? Have you changed your mind?", Deng Yue asked.


    "Elder sister, my technique is different. It is almost impossible for you to detect it but I have already used it. Now, let us see whether my technique is effective or not? If you think about me often in theing days, my technique will be a sess", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You have already used it?", Deng Yue muttered with a confused expression. Zhan Chen nodded his head in return.


    "Elder sister, please don''t think much. This technique may not have any effect on you. Although, I want otherwise. It will be best if I get elder sister fall in love with me. You are so talented and beautiful. It will be a lose if I can''t get you as my wife", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Elder sister, good bye", Zhan Chen spoke as he held Deng Yue''s hand abruptly and ced a kiss on her fair hand. Before she could react, he had already fled the room.


    "Little brat", Deng Yue got flustered for a moment before calming down. She was angered yet amused. If it was anyone else, she would have cut him up already but in Zhan Chen''s case, she felt less angered. After learning Zhan Chen''s rtionship with Fu Deming and Zhan WunLi, she had already considered him as a little brother. Moreover, Zhan Chen''s talent had left a deep impression in her heart. So, she couldn''t muster up sufficient anger to chase behind Zhan Chen.


    "Forget it. I will teach him properly in the future. If possible, I can introduce some beauties to him. So that, he wouldn''t pester me in the future", Deng Yue thought to herself. A smile appeared on her face as she felt the soft moistness on her hand.


    Zhan Chen returned to the side of Shui Liying and Huang Mei after bidding farewell to Deng Yue. "I have already got permission to visit the Xuantian sect. Will both seniors apany me? We can have our alchemypetetion there", Zhan Chen looked towards Shui Liying and Huang Mei.


    "I have no problem", Huang Mei was the first to reply.


    "I don''t have any problem either. We can arrange the alchemypetetion in my Serene bamboo peak", Shui Liying spoke.


    ------------------


    It was a smooth journey for Zhan Chen with two emperors apanying him. They were riding the flying boat of Shui Liying. Before leaving the Oak ridge town, Zhan Chen had directed his devil ves to move closer to the Xuantian sect on their own. He had shared a map of the Earth province with them through their soul link.


    It took Shui Liying, Zhan Chen and Huang Mei only an hour before they could reach the periphery of the Blue qilin mountain range.


    The Xuantian sect was located in the depth of the Blue qilin mountain range. Shui Liying led both Zhan Chen and Huang Mei into the Serene Bamboo peak after entering the inner court area.


    "Do you two need any rest?", Shui Liying asked.


    "No need. I am not at all tired", Zhan Chen replied. Huang Mei only shook her head in response to Shui Liying''s question. It should be a cakewalk for her when she waspeting with a junior like Zhan Chen in alchemy but few incidents in the past few days had made her slightly more apprehensive. But she still did not believe that Zhan Chen could defeat her if she became slightly more attentive. She was determined to get her hands on the Five harmony soul resurgence pill after defeating Zhan Chen fair and square in the alchemy contest.


    Shui Liying led both Zhan Chen and Huang Mei into her personal peak. Her personal peak had the best arrangement for practicing alchemy. So, Huang Mei felt quite thankful to her after seeing her junior sister bing so cooperative.


    "Senior, what pill are we concocting?", Zhan Chen asked. He had left the matter of choosing the pill in Huang Mei''s hands. He beleived she wouldn''t pull a trick whilepeting with a junior like him.


    "Crimson cloud pill. It is an ordinary pill used by Core condensation cultivators. I hope you will not find any fault in the selection of such a pill", Huang Mei spoke.


    "I don''t have any problem. I would have epted even if senior had choosen a more difficult pill for our alchemy contest", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Let us begin. Junior sister Liying will be the judge of this alchemy contest", Huang Mei spoke.


    "For it to be a fair contest, I suggest both of you to use my pill furnaces. Both of you can choose any sky grade pill furnace from my personal collection", Shui Liying spoke.


    The alchemy contest began after Huang Mei took out ingredients for the Crimson cloud pill. She had collected a total of six sets of pill ingredients. She gave three sets of pill ingredients to Zhan Chen before preparing to concoct the Crimson cloud pill.


    "There will be no time limit in thispetetion. The winner will be decided after both of you concoct pills using all three sets of ingredients", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Do anyone has any objection?", Shui Liying asked. Both Zhan Chen and Huang Mei shook their heads in reply.


    "Good, it is settled then. Thepetetion will end after both of you finished consuming all three sets of ingredients", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Begin", she shouted softly. Both Zhan Chen and Huang Mei sprang into action after hearing the words of Shui Liying. Huang Mei did not notice Zhan Chen''s actions but Shui Liying had her eyes only for Zhan Chen. She observed carefully as Zhan Chen sorted and arranged the pill ingredients.


    There were three types of pill ingredients required for concocting the Crimson cloud pill.


    ''Jade orchid petals''


    ''des of Crimson grass''


    ''Binding amber''


    Zhan Chen separated the pill ingredients and started to refine them one by one. He picked up the Jade orchid petals first and put them inside the pill furnace. He controlled the intensity of the earth fire and started to refine them.


    Huang Mei was very attentive during the refining procedure although she was concocting only a fourth grade pill. She took almost an hour topletely refine the three ingredients. Zhan Chen had finished refining his ingredients before her.


    To her astonishment, he had already moved onto the process of pill condensation. "Haste will only make you lose earlier in such an alchemy contest", she thought to herself. She took a moment of rest before proceeding to begin the pill condensation.


    Zhan Chen deliberately tried to slow down. Otherwise, his pace would create suspicion in Huang Mei''s mind. Both of them continued the process of pill condensation and it took both of them almost forty five minutes to condense the pill.


    "I am done", Huang Mei dered confidently. She threw a look at Zhan Chen to see his response.


    "My Crimson cloud pills are ready as well. Seniors are wee to examine my pills as they wish", Zhan Chen spoke. He lifted the lid of his pill furnace and a refreshing aroma wafted into the surrounding.


    ''How many pills have you managed to concoct?", Huang Mei asked. She felt curious and took a look at Zhan Chen''s pill furnace.

 Chapter 431 Visiting Zhan Qingyue

    "Four pills! How is this possible?", Huang Mei eximed. She herself had concocted three pills out of three set of ingredients. It was already an incredible acheivement to not waste any set of ingredients but Zhan Chen went beyond.


    "Senior, you may take a look at my pills. If my pills are inferior, I will admit defeat and handover the pill form of Five harmony soul resurgence pill to you. In addition, I will bring out a Five harmony soul resurgence pill", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He took out all four of his pills and stored them in a jade container. After that, he handed over his pills to Huang Mei.


    "Seniors, if you allow I will take a quick trip to Senior Wu Li''s ce. You can determine the result of our alchemy contest in between this period", Zhan Chen looked towards Shui Liying and Huang Mei. Both the emperors nodded their heads in response to his words. Zhan Chen thanked them before walking out of Shui Liying''s personal peak.


    .....


    "Brat, what brings you here?", Zhan Wu Li detected the presence of Zhan Chen as soon as he approached her personal mountain. She appeared infront of him and looked towards him with am amiable expression.


    "Senior, you are probably aware that the outside world is chaotic at this moment. It is one battle after another. I am offered to lead our disciples in the Sky dragon alliance and I have agreed. I don''t know what mission I will be assigned to. So, I thought about seeing big sis before going to the Jade harmony city", Zhan Chen replied.


    "I have heard about your deeds in the Yellow stone city. You have really performed well there. After the cmity that befallen our n, this Xuantian sect has sheltered me. It is heartening to see that one of my nsman could help out the sect in the time of it''s need", Zhan Wu Li spoke. She was really happy after hearing about the acheivements of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, it is my duty. I will do whatever possible to protect the interests of the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen humbly added.


    "Don''t push yourself too much. You have already done enough. No one will me you now even if you withdraw", Zhan Wu Li softly spoke.


    "Senior, the Sky dragon alliance is the best opportunity I can ask for. There are countless dangers but there is also possible opportunities to increase my cultivation. Therefore, I choose to take the risk", Zhan Chen exined.


    "Be careful then. Withdraw if you can''t handle a task. If there are any troubles in the Sky dragon alliance, you can contact me", Zhan Wu Li spoke. She took out threemunication tailsman and handed them to Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, thank you", Zhan Chen bowed his head.


    "No need to act formal. As a Zhan n member, this is the least I can do for you", she spoke with a smile on her face.


    "Your elder sister is living in the back mountain. I have tried but could not improve her condition. Her mood was down for a while. But currently, she seems to have be more epting about her situation. Instead of thinking about the problem with her cultivation base, she has developed a new interest in gaining knowledge. It has been days since she is studying those books. I can tell that, she is genuinely interested in gaining knowledge", Zhan Wu Li spoke. There was a gentle expression on her face when she spoke about Zhan Qingyue.


    "You can take this path to reach the back mountain", she pointed towards a narrow pathway which stretched to the top of mountain. Zhan Chen bowed towards her before walking towards the path she had pointed.


    He rushed forward using the Ethereal cloud steps and soon vanished from Zhan Wu Li''s visual range. It took him less than fifteen minutes to reach the back mountain.


    ''Where is she?'', Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness. The back mountain was quite vast and it was full of lush vegetation and flowers. Zhan Chen could tell that his ancestor, Zhan Wu Li had personally designed this ce. He spread his soul consciousness further and finally found Zhan Qingyue.


    She was quitely studying under a five leafed clover tree.


    Her eyes werepletely focused as she was reading from a spirit scroll. The mountain Breeze was flowing gently andher long silky hair was swaying in the air. She seemed to bepletely sync with the surrounding as she sat under the Five leafed clover tree.


    Zhan Chen didn''t disturb her for a while. He had never seen his elder sister so focused before. If possible, he wouldn''t have disturbed her but he had little time. He was sure that Zhan Qingyue would be sad if he didn''t meet her despite being in the back mountain.


    "Big sis", Zhan Chen called out softly to attract her attention. Zhan Qingyue who was extremely focused on studying, raised her head as soon as she heard the familiar voice. She looked ahead and found Zhan Chen walking from a distance.


    "Little Chen", a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on her face after seeing Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen strode forward and took her slim figure into his arms.


    "Big sis, how have you been?", he asked the beauty who was snuggling in his arms.


    "Little Chen, we need to control ourselves. If ancestor sees us like this, it will be embarassing", Zhan Qingyue freed herself. She sized up Zhan Chen with her eyes and a gratifying smile appeared on her pretty face.


    "Little Chen, you have be taller again", shemented.


    "And big sis has be more prettier", Zhan Chen added.


    "Glib", Zhan Qingyue ''s pretty face became slightly redder.


    "Let''s sit down first. I want to hear what you have experienced in the Yellow stone city", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Both of them sat down under the five leafed clover tree as Zhan Chen narrated his experience since they had parted. He downyed the dangers he faced in the Yellow stone city but Zhan Qingyue could still imagine how dangerous it must have been. She had yet to learn the casualties of the Xuantian sect disciples in the White mist forest range. Otherwise, she would have pleaded Zhan Chen to not join the battle in the Sky dragon alliance.


    Zhan Chen inquired about her experience after narrating his side. Compared to his experience full of ups and downs, her life waspletely monotonous. "Little Chen, I have decided to learn a passive skill while my cultivation is stagnant. Ancestor has given me few options but after considering each options, I think it will be good if I learn more about formation techniques. Being an alchemist seems impressive but I don''t have any affinity towards it. As for the formation techniques, it only require hard work. The more I learn, easier it will get", Zhan Qingyue spoke.


    "Big sis, what about Spirit energy? Are you able to harness it?", Zhan Chen asked with a look of anticipation on his face. Sensing spirit energy was a difficult matter. One had to connect with heaven and earth to harness spirit energy. If Zhan Qingyue able to harness spirit energy, a new path would open up for her. Even if her essence energy cultivation stagnates, she could still embark on the journey of a formation matter.


    "I think, it is doable. Just few days ago, I have managed to connect with heaven and earth while contemting on a theory of formation", Zhan Qingyue replied.


    "Good, try to harness spirit energy whenever you get opportunity", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will", Zhan Qingyue replied. Zhan Chen cupped her face and looked towards her eyes. He gently leaned on and pressed his lips on her lips.


    "Big sis, please have patience. I will definitely find a way to heal you in the future", Zhan Chen spoke. He bade farewell to her and walked out of the back mountain.

 Chapter 432 Invitation

    ?


    "How can this be?", Huang Mei eximed after taking out a pill that Zhan Chen had concocted. The pill had a round and smooth structure which was the characteristic of a peak fourth grade pill.


    A peak fourth grade pill was astonishing enough but what caught the attention of Huang Mei was the vein like patterns on the surface of the Crimson cloud pill. She took out the other three pills and observed the vein like patterns on each pills''s surface.


    "Are these pill veins?", she murmured to herself in surprise. She hade across pills with pill veins only few times in her life. Such pills were so rare that, even alchemy emperors would fight for them. Yet, such a marvel ured right before her, an eighteen year old tender young man able to concoct pills with pill veins right infront of her eyes.


    She observed the pills in her hand for half an hour. Any such pill would infatuate alchemists and she was no exception. "Junior sister, what should I do? I have really messed up this time", she looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Senior sister, shall we check your pills?", Shui Liying asked.


    "No need. I am not yet capable enough to concoct pills with pill veins", Huang Mei bluntly admitted her inferiority.


    "Junior sister, I have yet to tell you the conditions of this alchemypetetion. I have never considered the chance of me losing. So, I have epted an outrageous demand of Zhan Chen", she further added.


    "Senior sister, I can understand your dilemma. You have probably epted to be Zhan Chen''s woman incase you lose. Am I right?", Shui Liying looked towards Huang Mei.


    "Not exactly his woman but something simr to that. Tell me, how did you guess? Has that brat told something to you?", Huang Mei looked towards Shui Liying with a suspicious expression.


    "No, he has never discussed about this alchemy contest with me. I can guess because I can understand few of his deeds", Shui Liying spoke softly.


    "Is that brat really going to demand my first night?", Huang Mei asked.


    "Senior sister, are you nervous?", Shui Liying asked.


    "Why would I? It is only that I have never thought, I would lose to him", Huang Mei retorted. She was clearly in a dilemma after being defeated.


    "Senior sister, if he can be stopped, I would have stopped him from epting another woman. But it is a fact that no woman alone can satisfy his need", Shui Liying spoke.


    "What are you ....?", Huang Mei looked towards Shui Liying in a dumbfounded expression after hearing her words. In their long years of association, she had never heard such ambiguous words from Shui Liying.


    "Senior sister, I have yet to tell you. But I have already epted him as my husband. To tell you the truth, he did tricked me. But he waspletely honest. It is me who couldn''t stop thinking about him. So, I approached him and he was happy to have me as his woman", Shui Liying spoke. She and Huang Mei was closer like two sisters. So, she thought it would be appropriate to tell her the truth.


    "Senior sister, please keep my rtionship with him a secret. I don''t want to cause any trouble for him", she looked towards Huang Mei.


    ------------------


    "He has returned", Huang Meimented after sensing the presence of Zhan Chen in Serene Bamboo peak. Inwardly, she was very nervous regarding what was about to happen.


    "Seniors, have you decided the result?", Zhan Chen asked after stroding into Shui Liying''s personal peak.


    "Husband, you can stop calling me senior in her presence. I have already told about our rtionship to her", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Okay, I will not be so formal then", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior, can you give me an answer? What do you think about the result of ourpetition?", Zhan Chen looked towards Huang Mei.


    "You have tricked me. But this is no excuse. I am ready to share my first night with you", Huang Mei spoke. Inwardly, she was nervous but she put up a brave front infront of Zhan Chen.


    "Thanks very much. Let me write the pill recipe of the Five harmony soul resurgence pill for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Do you have a spirit scroll?", he looked towards Huang Mei. Huang Mei felt startled by what she had heard. Zhan Chen was still going to give her the pill recipe even after she had lost.


    She took out a spirit scroll from her spatial ring and handed it to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen infused his essence energy inside the spirit scroll and wrote down the pill form of Five harmony soul resurgence pill.


    "Check it. Tell me if you don''t understand anything", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Huang Mei felt surprised after seeing the generosity of Zhan Chen. A current of warmth surged in her heart after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She took a look at the pill form and a look of contemtion appeared in her eyes.


    "Zhan Chen, thank you", she raised her head after a while and thanked Zhan Chen. "No problem, you are willing to give your first time to me. So, this is the least I can give you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Are you two willing to visit my humble abode? I wish to spend my day together with both of you", he looked towards Shui Liying and Huang Mei.


    "Together?", both Shui Liying and Huang Mei blushed immediately. They looked towards eachother and their faces flushed red.


    Zhan Chen could feel that Shui Liying had an inherent rejection towards being seen by other woman. She was naturally a proud and aloof emperor. It was normal for her to have such standard.


    "You two probably misunderstood me. I only meant to show both of you my personal mountain. We can decide our next course of action after reaching there", Zhan Chen rified.


    Both the beauties took a sigh of relief in their hearts and followed behind Zhan Chen. They stopped after reaching near the caveplex of Zhan Chen.


    "What are these three doing?", Zhan Chen murmured. He found Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min getting busy outside the caveplex. They had cleared a patch of forest and nting flower saplings on the cleared surface. He saw the Shadow panther as well. It was cultivating on top of a gigantic tree.


    The Shadow panther was the first to sense Zhan Chen''s arrival. It leapt towards the ground and scurried forward to greet Zhan Chen.


    Both Shui Liying and Huang Mei felt curious after seeing the nimble creature approaching Zhan Chen. The Shadow panther scurried forward to greet Zhan Chen but it stopped in the midway after sensing two powerful auras around Zhan Chen. A look of caution appeared in it''s eyes as it took a look towards both Shui Liying and Huang Mei.


    "Don''t worry. They will not harm you", Zhan Chen assured the shadow panther with his soul link.

    433 Activating the formation


    Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min also noticed Zhan Chen after a while. It was Li Yan who noticed the movement of the shadow panther and discovered Zhan Chen standing at a distance with two graceful looking women. She informed both Li Shu and Kai Min and all the three girls looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Come over", Zhan Chen beckoned his hands. All the three girls stopped what they were doing and walked towards the location where Shui Liying, Huang Mei and Zhan Chen were standing.


    "Let me introduce all of them. They have been apanying me from my home city", Zhan Chen spoke. He introduced Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan one by one.


    All the three girls acted politely and bowed their head towards Shui Liying and Huang Mei. Zhan Chen revealed the identities of the two emperors and a shocked expression appeared on the faces of all three girls. They couldn''t beleive that the peak existences of the Northern desert continent were standing so close to them.


    "You should show senior sister Mei your personal peak. Let me apany these three girls. I will help them in beautifying your mountain", Shui Liying spoke.


    Zhan Chen knew Shui Liying was extricating herself from an embarassing situation. Moreover, she was trying to give some space to him and her senior sister. He didn''t want to put her in a difficult situation. So, he nodded her head.


    "Would you three like to visit my Serene bamboo peak? You can find many varieties of nts and saplings there", Shui Liying looked towards Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan.


    All of them were smart girls. So, they immediately understood the intention of Shui Liying. They agreed immediately to visit the Serene bamboo peak.


    Zhan Chen looked towards the shadow panther after everyone left. He walked towards her and patted her head. "Girl, I am little busy today. You should go and y on your own", Zhan Chen spoke to her with his soul link.


    "Shall we enter inside?", Zhan Chen asked Huang Mei after sending away the shadow panther. Huang Mei was very nervous inside but she calmly nodded her head.


    Zhan Chen brought her into his caveplex and led her to the main hall. After bringing her in, he took a good look at her body from head to toe. Huang Mei gulped inaudibly in nervousness after seeing the examining eyes of Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, are you prepared?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, I am", Huang Mei tried to appear as calm as possible.


    "Then take off your clothes. I want to see how beautiful you are underneath", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Huang Mei despite being an emperor felt helpless here. She removed her belt hesitantly and pulled off her robe. Her enchanting voluptuous figure appeared infront of Zhan Chen after she removed her long robe.


    There was only two words Zhan Chen could say after seeing her enchanting figure. ''Perfect and big'', he could only think of these two words to describe the beauty of Huang Mei.


    No one could have guessed, she would be hiding assets of such proportion underneath her clothes. Even Zhan Chen was taken aback for a moment after seeing her voluptuous figure.


    "Gulp!", his throat bubbed up slightly after he observed the beauty of Huang Mei. "Come closer", he ordered her with a feverish expression on his face.


    Huang Mei had no choice but to walk closer. She had already made her mind to honour her words. So, she was ready to tolerate whatever Zhan Chen do to her tonight. She would have pulled up few tricks, if it was any other men. But after seeing her sister''s emotion, she had decided to co-operate with Zhan Chen truthfully.


    She had little curiousity as well. She wanted to find out why her junior sister was so madly in love with this young man.


    Zhan Chen stretched his hand and pulled Huang Mei closer. Before Huang Mei could understand anything, she felt a soft sensation on her lips.


    She felt a hand on her chest as Zhan Chen started to grope her bountiful peaks. A current of pleasure ran across her body as she let out a soft moan.


    "We should remove these remaining pieces of clothes. They are obstructing my hand", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t wait for Huang Mei''s reply before pulling off her undergarments.


    "Senior, you are really beautiful. I am really grateful that you have given me such a chance", Zhan Chen spoke after making herpletely naked. Her beautiful body and bountiful assets appeared in full glory infront of his eyes.


    "Let''s activate the formation. No one should disturb us at such an important moment", Zhan Chen spoke. He made few hand signs and the Nine revolution origin formation roared into action.


    "What formation is this?", Huang Mei eximed. She could tell that the operating principles behind this formation was very profound.


    "The name of this formation is Nine revolution origin formation. It will assist us during dual cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke. He made another hand sign and transparent barriers started to rise out of the ground. Huang Mei felt very curious after sensing the profoundness of the formation.


    Zhan Chen pulled her closer and ced his lips on her soft lips once again. The sight of her bountiful treasures were inviting him to explore them.


    She was so enchanting that Zhan Chen felt an impulse to ravage her right away. But he decided to remain patient after sensing her hesitation. No matter how enchanting she was, she was only an inexperienced woman. So, it was his duty to make herpletely willing before starting the dual cultivation.


    It should not bepulsion in her part rather she should bepletely willing in her heart before they started dual cultivation. He grabbed her bountiful breasts and started to massage them thoroughly. A never before felt sensation gradually awakened in the body of Huang Mei as she faced the onught of Zhan Chen''s hand.


    "Beauty, you should lie down. I want to find out how your body tastes like", Zhan Chen spoke. This time Huang Mei didn''t feel as much conflicted in her heart as before. She wanted the newly felt sensation to continue. So, he followed Zhan Chen''s instruction and lied down on the stone floor.


    Zhan Chen leaned down on top of her and ced a quick kiss on her lips. He went further down and ced a kiss on her slender neck. His kisses were wet yet warm and Huang Mei didn''t feel like stopping him.


    She didn''t notice but she gradually became needy for Zhan Chen''s touch. Zhan Chen pressed his mouth on her breasts and started to suck on them greedily.


    He circled his tongue around her nipples and teased them yfully. Huang Mei couldn''t hold back her moans anymore as a string of beautiful moans escaped her throat.


    Her peaks became more prominent after Zhan Chen yed with them. They were already big to begin with. Now after swelling, they had an irresistible charm towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I can''t beleive this. How can you hide such big things underneath your clothes", Zhan Chen asked. He stretched both of her hands and started to grope the breasts of Huang Mei as he wished.


    "Nnnnng~", Huang Mei moaned. She felt waves after waves of pleasure coarsing through her body as Zhan Chen yed with her peaks.


    Zhan Chen released her peaks after ying with them after a while. His gaze fell upon her little sister and a desire to explore her sacred garden appeared inside his mind. He parted apart her thighs and unraved her little sisterpletely. Huang Mei closed her eyes due to shyness as Zhan Chen looked towards her secred treasure.


    Her sacred treasure waspletely pinkish in colour with a reddened hue on top of it. Zhan Chen leaned down and ced his mouth on top of her entrance.


    "Zhan Chen, what are you doing?", Huang Mei shouted in embarassment. She couldn''t believe that Zhan Chen would lick such a ce of hers with his mouth.


    "Senior, stay still. You tastes really good here. Let me have my fill", Zhan Chen spoke. Huang Mei felt her mind was going nk when Zhan Chen''s tongue invaded the depth of her sacred garden.


    "Ahhhh~"


    "Mmmmm~"


    "Hnnnn~", rhythmic moans escaped her mouth as Zhan Chen explored her sacred treasure with his tongue. It continued for several minutes before Huang Mei rolled her eyes in pleasure. She subconsciously stretched her hands towards Zhan Chen''s head and pressed his head against her little sister. Her body trembled in pleasure as she released a huge amount of yin water from her sacred cave.


    She lied still after reaching her peak. There was a nk expression on her face as she couldn''t believe what she had just do. It was initially only an agreement but she had never predicted that she would get so much involved.


    The Nine revolution origin formation lit up with a faint glow. It absorbed the residual energy from Huang Mei''s yin water.

 Chapter 434 Extreme yang treasures

    434 Extreme yang treasures


    "Senior, why are you spacing out already? We have only began", Zhan Chen whispered near Huang Mei''s ears. Her lips got sealed before she could give a response.


    "Senior, just rx. I promise you will never forget this day", Zhan Chen whispered. He started to massage her peaks and her body started to be responsive once again.


    ''Let''s stimte her some more. I will make sure that she will beg for dual cultivation on her own volition'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He poked some of her pleasure nerves and Huang Mei''s body started to get hotter. A strong desire lit up in her heart as she anticipated Zhan Chen''s touch.


    But Zhan Chen stopped teasing her at the exact moment. He withdrew his hands and waited for Huang Mei to speak for herself.


    Huang Mei couldn''t understand why Zhan Chen had stopped. The pleasurable sensation stared to fed up as an unbearable desire started to torment her body. She felt she couldn''t bear it without Zhan Chen''s soothing touch.


    "Zhan Chen, why have you stopped?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior is not at all cooperating with me. It is as if I am the only one who want to do it. I admit that senior is very beautiful. But if senior is unwilling, how can I push so far. It is best to let senior go and look for some other girls. May be my Liying will co-operate with me", Zhan Chen spoke. The look of lose and sadness on his face was so real that even Huang Mei got fooled for a moment.


    "Who says I am unwilling? I ampletely fine with whatever you want to do. We can discuss, how you want me to co-operate with you", Huang Mei spoke.


    "Senior, I have already taken care of you once. It is your turn to take care of me. I wonder whether you are willing?", Zhan Chen looked towards Huang Mei.


    "I am willing. It is only fare to take care of you after I have received so much", Huang Mei replied. Her breathing was ragged at this moment as she was going through the torment of an unbearable desire.


    "Senior, shall we start?", zhan Chen asked. Huang Mei nodded her head as she was in a greater urgency than Zhan Chen to get intimate.


    Zhan Chen started to remove his own clothes and Huang Mei''s eyes immediately fell on his body. She couldn''t look away when Zhan Chen removed his pant and uncaged his little dragon.


    "Senior, let''s take care of eachother simultaneously. I can take care of you and you can take care of me. It is a matter of mutual cooperation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What do you want me to do?", Huang Mei asked.


    "Let me lie down first. You can crouch on my mouth and we may begin", Zhan Chen spoke. Huang Mei felt a tingling sensationing from her lower body just by imagining what Zhan Chen wanted her to do. She felt shy but she still listened to Zhan Chen''s words and ced her little sister on to of Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    Zhan Chen gave a quick lick to her little sister and the torment of unbearable desire lessened a little. Huang Mei felt as if she had found the panacea for her torment. "Zhan Chen, please don''t stop", she spoke while wriggling her hips a little.


    "Senior, let me remind you. it is a mutual cooperation", Zhan Chen spoke. Huang Mei subconsciously understood what he meant. She leaned forward and held Zhan Chen''s dragon with her hand.


    The rebelling dragon twitched after being held by her soft hand. She strengththed her grip curiously and a jolt of pleasure ran across Zhan Chen''s body.


    Zhan Chen licked the entrance of her sacred garden in response. Huang Mei acted cluelessly at first. But gradually she understood few things on her own. She stroked Zhan Chen''s dragon for a while before using her mouth.


    Zhan Chen used his tongue to explore the depths of her sacred garden. The unbearable sensation gradually lessened as Huang Mei got overwhelmed by the feeling of bliss she was experiencing. She wriggled her buttocks and finally released her yin water in Zhan Chen''s mouth.


    Zhan Chen gave her a moment of respite as her body convulsed in pleasure. He exchanged their body postures and leaned over her body. His dragon was poking her soft belly as he looked towards her.


    "Senior, are you willing to be my woman?", he asked her while stretching his hand to grab her breasts.


    "I am already giving you my first time. After today''s exchange if you still want to do it, you can visit me in my Huang n", Huang Mei spoke. She was not sure whether she could call Zhan Chen as his man as their age gap was too big.But she was sure about one thing, she couldn''t ept another man''s touch after sharing such intimate moments with Zhan Chen.


    She looked towards Zhan Chen who was groping her peaks as he pleased. There was naked desire in his eyes as he yed with her breasts.


    "Do as you please", she murmured softly with a gentle expression on her face. Zhan Chen reached out to her lips and started to kiss her passionately. This time, Huang Mei tried to co-operate as they tasted eachother''s saliva. Zhan Chen felt an overwhelming desire to conquer her after seeing the look of eptance on her face.


    "Huang Mei, you are not allowed to leave today", he spoke agressively. Huang Mei felt slightly surprised after seeing Zhan Chen calling her by name but she didn''t react much. She only looked towards Zhan Chen with a look of attachment and affection in her eyes.


    "Let me add a treasure to the formation", Zhan Chen spoke. He took out a radiant sun stone from his spatial ring and the main hall becamepletely illuminated with the bright glowing from the Radiant sun stone.


    "A seventh grade treasure!", Huang Mei eximed.


    "Thises from the third floor of the treasure hall", Zhan Chen informed.


    "What are you nning to do with it?", Huang Mei asked.


    "As you know it is a pure yang treasure. I am nning to absorb it today with the help of your yin essence", Zhan Chen spoke.


    pletely and started to feel the main hall with overwhelming amount of yang essence.


    09:27


    "Let us begin", Zhan Chen spoke. He pushed apart her thighs and exposed her little sisterpletely. "Have you gone mad? How can you absorb a seventh grade treasure with your cultivation base?", Huang Mei frowned.


    "Don''t worry. I will be alright. My cultivation is already at the peak of Martial ascension realm. With your help, I am nning to break through to the Heavenly tribtion realm", Zhan Chen spoke. He stretched his hand and knedded the peaks of Huang Mei.


    "Incredible. You actually hidden yourself so well!", Huang Mei eximed.


    "Yes, I need to be wary of outsiders but infront of you, I feel there is no need to hide my secrets", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You can be rest assured. I will not divulge your secrets infront of others", Huang Mei spoke. She felt little touched because Zhan Chen chose to trust her.


    Zhan Chen pushed the radiant sun stone towards the core of the Nine revolution origin formation and started to extract the yang essence within it. The Nine revolution origin formation activatedpletely and started to feel the main hall with overwhelming amount of yang essence.


    "Let us begin", Zhan Chen spoke. He pushed apart her thighs and exposed her little sisterpletely. Her pinkish cave entrance had a fatal attraction for his dragon. It was twitching with anticipation even before he begin.


    "Hung Mei, I am starting", Zhan Chen informed her. He ced his dragon on top of her cave entrance and gave a thrust.


    "Uuuh~ ", Huang Mei cried out in pain. Zhan Chen stopped just before piercing her barrier. He pulled out his dragon and rubbed her cave entrance to stimte her. After making her sufficiently prepared, he gave a deep thrust with his dragon.


    "Ahhh~", Huang Mei cried out in pain. Zhan Chen touched some nerves around her sacred cave to lessen her difort. He began slow at first but gradually he picked up pace.


    "Ahhhh~"


    "Mmmmm~", Huang Mei let out rhythmic moans as she bear the brunt of storm brought by Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her voice gradually became incoherent as Zhan Chen increased his pace. Waves after waves of pleasure coarsed through her body as her mind got cloudy at a point of time. She subconsciously clenched her legs around Zhan Chen''s waist and clung onto him tightly.


    Such a situation where she pounded into oblivion ured for almost half an hour. Her body finally couldn''t take it as she released her yin water for third time in a raw.


    She opened her eyes and saw the insatiable expression on Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen was still keeping his dragon inside her cave but was not moving to give her some respite.


    The amount of yang essence in the air was insane. Zhan Chen was not nning to waste the amount of yang essence. So, he quickly turned her body and prepared himself for the next round.

 Chapter 435 Hidden thoughts

    435 Hidden thoughts


    Like her frontal part, the back view of Huang Mei was equally great. Her curvy back was disproportionatepared to her body size. She had two gigantic half moons who were hiding her sacred cave underneath.


    "Wow! Huang Mei, you are really amazing", Zhan Chen spoke as he squeezed Huang Mei''s globes of flesh. An involuntary moan escaped Huang Mei''s throat as she felt Zhan Chen''s hands on her back.


    "Huang Mei, I want you to more proactive. It will be best if youpletely embrace your desire and express yourself infront of me", Zhan Chen spoke. He traced the entrance of her sacred cave with his dragon and plunged it inside.


    "Ahhh~", Huang Mei moaned loudly as Zhan Chen gave her a deep thrust. He kept his palms on both side of her waist and started to pound her.


    What excited him more was the rippling of her flesh. Her massive buttocks appeared as if they were made of dense water. They rippled evenly with a single thrust from his dragon.


    "Pah", Zhan Chen gave a p to her buttocks while pounding her. Huang Mei''s eyes misted up slightly after feeling the stinging pain. With pain came the pleasure as Zhan Chen rubbed his hand where he had just hit. It was a method of sweet pain and relief which tormented the mind of Huang Mei.


    "Huang Mei, I want you to be honest with me. Let me give you a chance to express yourself ", Zhan Chen spoke. He used some nefarious energy stored in his nefarious seal and let the energy enter Huang Mei''s body.


    Huang Mei felt as if she was on fire after nefarious energy entered her body. Zhan Chen was already pounding her but she felt he was too slower. "Zhan Chen, please increase your pace", she begged while twisting her buttock. Her moans became louder as Zhan Chen pounded her.


    "Pah! Pah!", the sound of flesh colliding reveberated in the air as Zhan Chen pounded Huang Mei wildly. The rippling of her flesh was like aphrodisiacs to his eyes. Zhan Chen couldn''t get enough of the vlew no matter how he pounded her.


    Drops of water came out from her cave as he pounded her fiercely. His dragon started to throab violently as he approached his peak.


    Huang Mei finally couldn''t take it anymore as she copsed on the rock surface. Yin water gushed out from her cave as she rolled her eyes in bliss. Zhan Chen gave her few deep thrusts and finally released his yang essence inside her cave.


    The nefarious energy was affecting her but it was not not enough to cloud the mind of an emperor. Zhan Chen was using only a moderate amount of nefarious energy to make her more proactive. She also understood this much and she felt no wariness in her heart towards the nefarious energy.


    She pulled out her body from Zhan Chen''s spear and looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen could see the desire in her eyes when she looked towards him."Zhan Chen", she got closer to him and held his head. Then with great passion, she nted her lips on his lips.


    "Zhan Chen, let''s do it again", she whispered softly. She lied down on the floor and waited for Zhan Chen to begin. A lone room and a waiting beauty, how could Zhan Chen let go of such an opportunity! He pounced on her and began the third round of their love making. After tossing around for another four hours, Huang Mei finally stopped. Her body was already feeling sore after such a long period of love making.


    Zhan Chen still wanted to continue but he stopped after she released her yin essence. There was a trace of extreme bliss and rxation on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen."Let me ask you again, are you willing to be my woman?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "After going through so much, why are you still asking such a question?", Huang Mei asked gently.


    "I want to know", Zhan Chen stubbornly asked.


    "I don''t know what you think about me but one thing is sure. I can''t consider any other men in this lifetime", Huang Mei spoke after pausing for a moment. She was feeling an incredible calmness at this moment as she lie under Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen leaned on her and ced his lips on her lips. Huang Mei cooperated passionately as they shared a passionate kiss with eachother. "You can pick a room and take rest. I will go check what others are doing", Zhan Chen spoke. Huang Mei nodded her head and stood up to pick her clothes. Both of them dressed up and left the main hall.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness after leaving his caveplex. He found Shui Liying, Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min nearby as all of them were busy in creating a garden on his mountain.


    "Big sis Liying, I have a question for you? Are you okay with Zhan Chen taking so many women?", Li Yan asked. Both Li Shu and Kai Min perked up their ears as they heard the conversation between Li Yan and Shui Liying.


    Zhan Chen felt amazed that Li Yan was calling Shui Liying big sis. It was only few hours but all the three girls seemed to be grown closer to Shui Liying.


    "What I think does not matter. What matters is whether he is happy or not. If he is enjoying himself and his cultivation is increasing in the process, there is no harm. As long as he considers me as his woman in his heart, I will be content", Shui Liying spoke. There was no selfishness in her heart as she only had best wishes for Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was nning to interrupt them but he stopped in his track after hearing the words of Shui Liying. He felt warmth in his heart as he felt how pure was Shui Liying''s thoughts for him. He decide to listen for a while. He wanted to know how the three girls would react to Shui Liying''s words.


    "Big sis, you are really great. Compared to my selfish thoughts, yours are so pure", Li Yan spoke. There was a look of admiration on her face as she looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Little sister Yan, there are no strangers here. I have expised my thoughts about husband. Let me here what you girls think about him", Shui Liying asked.


    "Elder sister, I have never thought about other women. For me, it is fine as long as young master considers me as his woman", Li Shu replied.


    "I also feels the same. It is fine as long as I can be by the side of young master", Kai Min spoke.


    Li Yan stayed silent after hearing her two sisters'' words. Compared to others, her thoughts were really selfish.


    "Little sister Yan, what about you?", Shui Liying looked towards Li Yan. These four hours had brought her closer to these three girls. She felt all of them were unpolished gems who would shine if given proper guidance.


    "To be frank, I feel unpleasant after seeing so many woman around him. If possible, I would like to take him for myself but I know that is impossible. It does not feel bad if he is with sister Shu or sister Min but for others, I feel ufortable", Li Yan replied. She was always a straightforward girl. So, she shared her conflicting thoughts about Zhan Chen infront of her two sisters and Shui Liying.


    "Now that I get to know elder sister, It will not feel bad anymore but for others, I don''t know", Li Yan added.


    "Little sister, you should know that he is a dual cultivator. Number of women around him will only increase with the passing of time. If you are ufortable about this, how can you stay with him in the future?", Shui Liying spoke. There was a gentle reminder in her words as she looked towards Li Yan.

 Chapter 436 Request for help

    Chapter 436 Request for help


    "Elder sister, I know already. There is no point in thinking about others. Rather I should focus on myself. If I don''t have a sufficient cultivation, I will even lose qualification to stand by his side. At that point, my every thoughts will be pointless", Li Yan spoke. Her eyes were burning with determination as she replied to Shui Liying.


    "It is a good thing that you understand this much. If you need my help in any matter, you can visit my Serene bamboo peak", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Same for you two girls. You can find me any time if you face any difficulties", Shui Liying looked towards Li Shu and Kai Min.


    "Elder sister, thank you", the trio of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min thanked Shui Liying. After arriving in the Centralnd, she was the first to care about them so much besides Zhan Chen.


    "It is a pity that none of you girls have affinity towards the wood element. Otherwise, I would have brought you all into my Serene bamboo peak", Shui Liying spoke.


    "What are you girls discussing?", Zhan Chen decided to show himself after a while. Untill now, he was carefully avoiding the detection of Shui Liying''s soul consciousness.


    "Husband, we are just having a casual conversation", Shui Liying replied. Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min looked towards Shui Liying incredulously after seeing how naturally she called Zhan Chen as ''Husband''.


    "Young master, are you leaving for the Jade harmony city?", Li Shu was the first to initiate a conversation. She had already got some information from Shui Liying. So, she chose to ask Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, I have to leave but not now. Actually, I havee to request help from you girls", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, what is the matter?", Shui Liying asked.Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min also looked towards Zhan Chen with curious expression on their faces.


    "I have assimted yang energy from a heaven grade extreme yang treasure. Huang Mei is tired. So, I need help from you girls now", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "A heaven grade extreme yang treasure!", Shui Liying eximed. She felt worried for Zhan Chen because she knew how tyrannical the energy in such a treasure was.


    "Husband, how can you be so reckless?", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a worried expression.


    "Don''t worry. I will be absolutely fine as long as I manage to get a bnce between yin energy and yang energy. I just need to dual cultivate some more before I canpletely stabilize my cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "So, are you three willing to help me?", Zhan Chen asked. The trio of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min nodded their heads immediately after hearing Zhan Chen''s question. Li Yan was not nning to break the final barrier between Zhan Chen and her but she immediately made up her mind after hearing Zhan Chen''s condition.


    After getting their confirmation, Zhan Chen looked towards Shui Liying. He knew, she was repulsive towards the idea of being seen by other women.


    "Husband, let me follow you to your caveplex. If my help is required, I will not hesitate", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Don''t worry, I will respect your choice. We can dual cultivate after I am done with Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min", Zhan Chen sent Shui Liying a mentalmunication.


    ----------------


    "Are you feeling nervous?", Shui Liying asked Li Yan gently. She could see that Li Yan was feeling very tense after leaving the main hall.


    Zhan Chen asked Li Yan to wait because he was sure that she wouldn''t befortable to dual cultivate together with her sisters. Zhan Chen could see through her dilemma. So, he asked her to wait. He was nning to give her some alone time when she experienced her first time with him.


    "Elder sister, I don''t know much about dual cultivation. I have heard few things from sister Shu and sister Min but it will be embarrassing to try those things infront of Zhan Chen. What should I do?", Li Yan asked with a worried expression.


    Inside the formation barrier, Zhan Chen pounded both Kai Min and Li Shu passionately. Both of them were on their fours as they experienced the storm brought by Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    It took only ten minutes for Li Shu to reach her peak. She released her yin essence after receiving a deep thrust from Zhan Chen''s dragon. Kai Min had a better tolerancepared to Li Shu. Shested slightly longer before releasing her yin essence with a blissful expression on her face.


    Zhan Chen pounded Li Shu once again after pulling out his dragon from Kai Min''s cave. His dragon brought an endless storm for Kai Min and Li Shu which overwhelmed both of them mentally and physically.


    Zhan Chen finally released his yang essence inside Kai Min ''s cave. His dragon twitched in joy as Kai Min released her yin water at the same time. Kai Min slumped to the ground after releasing her yin water. Her body was already at the limit after dual cultivating with Zhan Chen for an hour. Same was true for Li Shu. She was lying on the ground with a blissful expression on her face.


    "Share the Yin nourishment technique with your sister", Zhan Chen spoke to Li Shu. He nted kisses on both the girls'' lips before bidding them farewell.


    It was Li Yan''s turn after Li Shu and Kai Min walked out. She felt more nervous when she saw Kai Min and Li Shu walking out. "Li Yan, please enter", she heard the voice of Zhan Chen inside her mind. Her hands became slightly sweaty in nervousness as she entered inside the formation barrier.


    At the center of the formation, Zhan Chen was standing naked. A small smile appeared on his face when he saw Li Yan.


    Li Yan felt dazed for a moment after seeing Zhan Chen''s naked appearance. Two red blushes appeared on her face as she avoided looking towards Zhan Chen.


    "Li Yan, do you really want to do it? If you are ufortable, we can still avoid crossing all the length", Zhan Chen gently spoke.


    "I do not want to avoid it anymore. Since I choose you as my man, why should I hesitate?", Li Yan spoke. She was nervous but she was always a brave and courageous girl. When she faced a dilemma, she took a bold decision without any hesitation.


    "Come here", Zhan Chen beckoned his hand. He pulled her closer when she got near him. He cupped her face and ced his lips on her lips.


    His hands didn''t remain idle when he was kissing her. He explored her back with his hand which sent shockwaves of pleasure through out her body.


    "Li Yan, thank you for epting me. I really wanted to keep you by my side after getting to know you better", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Really?", Li Yan asked with a sceptical look on her face. Zhan Chen sealed her lips with his own and kept kissing her untill she was breathless.


    "Do you have any doubt?", he looked towards Li Yan.


    Li Yan looked towards his eyes and could see through his desire for her. She felt that what he said was true after looking at his eyes.


    Zhan Chen had never seen her as a pretty woman who should warm her bed. Rather he saw her as a courageous and bold girl who could speak freely with him. If their cultivation base was same, she would be great as apanion for him. Ofcourse, he liked her as a woman also. So, it was win-win situation for him when she chose him as her man.


    "Take off your clothes", Zhan Chen gently instructed. Li Yan was inwardly nervous but she still took off her clothes one by one. A wless body with gentle curves appeared infront of Zhan Chen as Li Yan took off her clothes.


    Both of them looked towards eachother and both had desire in their eyes. Zhan Chen walked towards Li Yan and took her into his embrace. Both of their skins touched eachother and the fire burning in their heart got more intense.


    That day a beautiful passionate event ured inside the caveplex of Zhan Chen. It was a sweet and pleasant memory which Li Yan could never forget in her life.

 Chapter 437 Heavenly tribulation realm

    Chapter 437 Heavenly tribtion realm


    "Long Xinyu,e out", Zhan Chen went to meet with the little dragon after finishing his dual cultivation with Shui Liying. He was nning to leave the Xuantian sect after meeting Long Xinyu.


    Long Xinyu didn''t seem to be cultivating at this moment as she appeared just after Zhan Chen called her out. She had a questioning expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Big baddie, why have you called me out? From the scent from your body, I can tell that you are doing some indecent things beforeing here", Long Xinyu spoke. There was a disdainful look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little girl, the situation outside is getting more chaotic. There is one after another war which I can''t avoid. If it continues, I may not return to the Xuantian sect for a while. So, I want to hear your opinion. Looking at how hectic my schedule will be, I can''t provide you food if you stays here", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Who wants to stay here? I am already bored in these past few days. I have already explored the surrounding area. So, there is nothing to see here. It will be best if you bring me out", Long Xinyu spoke.


    "You have sneaked out from the cave while I am not here?", Zhan Chen furrowed his eyebrows.


    A hint of panick appeared on Long Xinyu''s face as she tried to shift her eyes. "What is the problem? I am careful to not disturb anyone when I sneaked out", she retorted with shifty eyes.


    "Fine. I will let it slide this time. The next ce we are travelling is the Jade harmony city. There will be plenty of emperor realm experts guarding there. I warn you to listen to me. Otherwise, I will stop taking responsibility for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    ''Who wants you to take my responsibility?", Long Xinyu thought fiercely in her mind. But on the outside, she nodded her head obediently and promised that she will listen to Zhan Chen''s words.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and found Li Yan and Kai Min cultivating. It was only Li Shu who was sleeping idly in her room. Zhan Chen sent her a mentalmunication and she came out. Zhan Chen pulled her into his embrace and gave her a gentle kiss.


    "Shameless", Zhan Chen could heard the voice of Long Xinyuing from thin air. Zhan Chen ignored her and looked towards Li Shu.


    "Li Shu, I can bring you to the Weapon refinement union right away but it is not a good time for you to leave my side. Devils are emerging from one ce after another. So, it is not the best idea to join the Weapon refinement union at this moment. Let the situation cool down a little. Rather than going to an unknown location, why don''t you practice in our Xuantian sect?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Of course, the decision is yours. I will support you no matter what decision you take", he further added.


    Li Shu didn''t talk for a moment. She was normally an easygoing girl but at this moment a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. Zhan Chen didn''t disturb her as he gave her some time to contemte.


    "I really want to join the Weapon refinement union because they are the best in our continent. But I believe in young master''s words. I will go to the Weapon refinement union after this war is over. Untill then, I want to practice in the Xuantian sect. I can only trouble young master to arrange a test for me in the Weapon refinement peak", Li Shu spoke.


    ----------------


    "Husband, what happens to senior sister Mei? She seems to have entered a deep cultivation state?", Shui Liying asked after meeting Zhan Chen.


    "Your senior sister has not rxed herself for years. It is important to rx your mind and body if you want to make progress in cultivation. Now that she experienced her first time with me, she had probably overvame a mental block. I will not be surprised if she improved her cultivation base after this seclusion", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then what should we do? Shall we leave her in your caveplex?", Shui Liying asked.


    "Yes, let''s leave her here. She can cultivate peacefully inside my caveplex", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Both of them had already made arrangements in the sect. Shui Liying had handed over the Serene bamboo peak''s charge to one of the senior elders. In the mean time, Zhan Chen had visited the Weapon refinement peak of the Xuantian sect and had made arrangement for Li Shu.


    It was time for them to depart. Shui Liying brought out her flying treasure and rode it with Zhan Chen. She infused her essence energy into her flying treasure and the boat shaped flying treasure flew away.


    "Liying, pick a secluded location for me. I will break through to the Heavenly tribtion realm before joing the Sky dragon alliance", Zhan Chen spoke.


    They crossed over the Blue qilin mountain range and came into a vast ne of the Earth province. The sky was already darkening by the moment they left the Xuantian sect. Light gradually faded and night descended upon the sky of the Earth province. Shui Liying chose to stop the flying treasure when they came across a forest.


    "Husband, there is no human settlement nearby. It is already night. So, there is low chance that we will encounter any human cultivator", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Is this to your liking?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Thank you. It is an ideal ce to attempt my breakthrough", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Shui Liying put away her flying treasure and along with Zhan Chen, she descended into the forest. Zhan Chen looked around and found a good spot to sit down.


    There was an enormous stone under a Dawn Redwood tree. Zhan Chen sat down there and closed his eyes to cultivate.


    "Husband, be careful. Don''t be hasty at all. Regte your breathing properly and try to sense the heaven and earth with your soul consciousness. It may take time but you need to be patient", Shui Liying reminded before Zhan Chen start cultivating. Deep concern written all over her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen who was sitting on a big stone under a Dawn Redwood tree.


    "Don''t worry. I will keep your words in mind", Zhan Chen softly spoke. He freed his mind from all the stray thoughts and focused hisplete attention on cultivation.


    Thr surrounding essence energy started to flow towards him as he operated the Celestial yinyang Sutra. The mysterious Yinyang diagram on his dantian activated as well as it started to send streams of pure energy into his body.


    He was notcking in essence energy as he had absorbed an Extreme yang treasure. What was hecking at the moment was to establish a connection with the heaven and earth.


    The Heavenly tribtion realm was a paradigm shift from the previous cultivation bases. It was not just about progression of power but it required closemunion with heaven and it''s natural forces. Heaven sent down tribtions to test a cultivator whether he or she was worthy tomunicate with it.


    To break through to the Heavenly Tribtion Realm, cultivators must first willingly face the tribtions sent by the heavens. These tribtions were both a test and a form of purification.


    As Zhan Chen focused his mind in cultivation, he gradually sinked deeper into it. His spirit energy activated on it''s own as the mysterious diagram in his soul shone brightly.


    A multicoloured world appeared in his soul consciousness as he sensed the heaven and earth around him. Dark clouds slowly assembled as he managed to establish a connection with the heaven and earth.


    Zhan Chen didn''t deliver deeper into sensing the heaven and earth at this moment. Rather he chose to extricate himself from sensing the heaven and earth and focused all of his attention on the gathering cloud.


    He knew how dangerous it was to face a heavenly tribtion. The force of the heaven was mighty as it tested the worthiness of a cultivator to progress further in his cultivation. If a cultivator managed to cross a tribtion, he would be rewarded. His body and soul would be purified as he would made further intoad in the world of cultivation.


    But if he didn''t seed, he would receive a bacsh from the heaven. Many times the bacsh was so severe that the peak Martial ascension realm experts would die or receive a serious soul injury.


    Zhan Chen knew, he couldn''t afford to be careless at this moment. With all his gifts, he could predict that the tribtion he would face would be severe than the ordinary cultivators. Slight mistake meant his path to further advancement would be cut.


    The tribtion clouds didn''t descend immediately although they had condensed perfectly. To Shui Liying''s surprise, the cloud started umte more and continued to grow in size and strength.

 Chapter 438 Facing the tribulation

    Chapter 438 Facing the tribtion


    The very air felt dense as the vast expanse of the tribtion cloud covered the sky. The twinkle of the stars vanished as they reced by a terrifying looking cloud.


    Atmosphere in the forest turned tense with the asional crackling sounding from the cloud. "Squeak","howl", the frightened sound of various animals came out as they scurried away to escape.


    Zhan Chen sat calmly in this tense atmosphere, seemingly unaffected by the impending doom. His breathing was even and calm, his face a picture of serene concentration. He was like an immovable mountain steadfast and undeterred infront of a looming storm.


    Shui Liying, however, was far from calm. The fear in her heart grew with every passing second. She was an emperor realm cultivator, having faced countless battles and seen various tribtions. But what was unfolding before her was beyond herprehension.


    "How is this possiblle? Why do husband has to face such a dangerous tribtion in his first step to the Heavenly tribtion realm?", she thought to herself. Her heart was flooding with worry as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    In the distance, Long Xinyu was also feeling puzzled. She had curiousity on her face as she looked towards the gathering cloud. "I have saw our Dragon nsmen ascending to the Heavenly tribtion realm. Generally dragons face a much fiercer heavenly tribtion than human cultivators. But here, the tribtion of this baddie has already surpassed theirs", she thought to herself. She kept herself hidden as she watched the tribtion cloud getting more denser and bigger with each passing moment.


    It took almost half an hour for the tribtion cloud to be fully condensed. Crackling sounds rang across the surrounding as the heavenly tribtion announced its imminent arrival.


    "Crackle", a defeaning noise came forth as a terrifying lightning fell upon Zhan Chen. Shui Liying''s heart skipped a bit as she was taken aback by the descending speed of the thunderbolt.


    Zhan Chen was fully prepared at this moment. He had already taken out a sword and was waiting for the thunderbolt to descend. "Mountain cutting sword", he roared out andunched a long sh towards the sky.


    To the utter surprise of both Long Xinyu and Shui Liying, the terrifying lighting was hacked apart in two. The lightning disperced just before reaching Zhan Chen''s head and turned into a dense nket of essence energy.


    Lightning cackled loudly in the dense cloud as it seemed like it would send another thunderbolt. Both Shui Liying and Long Xinyu waited with baited breath but no other thunderbolt descended. It seemed like the heaven was unwilling to let Zhan Chen cross through to the Heavenly tribtion realm so easily. But it didn''t send another thunderbolt.


    The starlit sky revealed itself gradually as the cloud dispersed. Zhan Chen felt a sudden tug inside his mind as the cloud was about to disappear. The feeling was very familiar to him. It happened whenever he had cultivated spiritual energy.


    The mysterious diagram inside his soul activated on it''s own. Zhan Chen could feel that it''s aim was targeted at the dissipating tribtion clouds.


    There was a mysterious golden pool located beyond the tribtion clouds. Many cultivators couldn''t feel it''s existence even after passing through all the seven tribtions of the Heavenly tribtion realm. Zhan Chen wouldn''t have noticed it without the tug from the diagram world.


    Zhan Chen felt that he had seen the most extraordinary thing of the world after heid his eyes on the golden pool. He felt a sensation as if the golden pool was the source of all the creations in the heaven and earth. The diagram world shown brightly and a strem of golden drops of water separated from the golden pool.


    The heaven and earth reacted violently to the deeds of the mysterious diagram. Zhan Chen felt his soul trembled as he could felt the tension in the air. The dissipating clouds gathered again to the surprise of both Long Xinyu and Shui Liying. This time the tribtion cloud looked fiercer and terrifying as they cackled above Zhan Chen''s head.


    The diagram world glowed brightly I''m response to heaven and Earth''s reaction. It released a gentle stream of golden energy which refreshed Zhan Chen''s mind and body. Zhan Chen could tell that it was the gift from the mysterious diagram to him after it absorbed the golden drops of water from the mysterious pool. He felt his body and mind rejuvenated as the golden coloured energy seeped throughout his body. His soul stopped trembling as the mysterious diagram let out a calm aura to pacify him.


    He readied himself as the tribtion cloud threatened to send out another thunderbolt for him. He knew he couldn''t stop the reaction of the mysterious diagram as it was a part of his soul now. So, he readied himself to face the consequences after the diagram world snatched some golden energy from the golden pool.


    Another thunderbolt fell this time which was multiple times more stronger than the previous one. Zhan Chen felt his heart sink as he used the Ethereal cloud steps to dodge.


    To his surprise, he felt another tug from the diagram world. This time, it was exerting it''s pressure on the thunderbolt sent by the tribtion cloud. Before he could properly understand what was going on, the thunderbolt attracted to him and changed it''s trajectory to fall on him. "Am I going to die?", Zhan Chen thought in despair as the thunderbolt descended on him. He thought he was a goner but nothing happened. The thunderbolt sent by the tribtion cloud seemed to have disappeared mysteriously after falling on his body.


    ''How is this possible?'', Zhan Chen muttered to himself with disbelief in his eyes. He could feel that it was the mysterious diagram who was the culprit behind the disappearance of the thunderbolt.


    The gathered cloud didn''t send another thunderbolt after it failed to harm Zhan Chen. It hovered in the air for a while before disappearing from the sky. The mysterious diagram glowed brightly after being silent for few moments. It released a pure stream of essence energy inside Zhan Chen''s body


    Zhan Chen could see that the stream of essence energy produced after the mysterious diagram in his soul refined the thunderbolt came from the tribtion cloud. He was beyond surprise at this moment after finding out another heaven defying ability of the diagram world.


    "I will investigate itter. Let''s first use all these avable energy and break through to the Heavenly tribtion realm", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He gathered all of his essence energy and flooded his essence energy sea. His essence energy sea erged once again after being filled to the limit. Zhan Chen could feel a mysterious connection with the heaven and earth as an energy whirlpool slowly manifested above his essence energy sea.


    The process of breaking through to the Heavenly tribtion realm was ethereal and one could not describe it properly without experiencing himself. The energy whirlpool that appeared above the essence energy sea was a link between a cultivator and the heaven and earth. Unlike the Martial ascension realm, a cultivator didn''t have to condense essence energy into essence liquid once again. Rather the energy whirlpool would condense the essence energy liquid itself as long as sufficient essence energy was present in heaven and earth.


    A Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator would never run out of essence energy as he could use his essence energy whirlpool and absorb the energy from the heaven and earth at a faster rate. Each time a cultivator broke through a stage in the Heavenly tribtion realm, his essence energy sea would be erged and another essence energy whirlpool would be added above his essence energy sea. There was also great improvement in soul strength but Zhan Chen would not feel it because his soul had already reached the limit of the sage realm.


    Zhan Chen felt he had more than half of energy left even after he reached the first stage of the Heavenly tribtion realm. He decided to not waste such a heaven sent opportunity. So, he activayed his energy whirlpool and strmarted to refine the essence energy gathered in his body. His body now had energy from various sources.


    The first source of the energy was the seventh grade extreme yang sea. His essence energy sea was now ten times bigger than its previous size. Any ordinary Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator treasure. The second source of the energy was the golden liquid refined by the mysterious diagram. The third source of energy was the thunderbolt sent by the tribtion cloud which was refined by the mysterious diagram in his soul.


    His energy whirlpool started to rotate faster as a great amount of essence energy liquid started to be added in his essence energy sea. His essence energy sea was now ten times bigger than its previous size. Any ordinary Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator would struggle to fill itpletely even if given two or three years of time but Zhan Chen was different.


    With the help of the mysterious diagram in his soul, he had got a huge volume of essence energy. The essence energy was very pure in nature and Zhan Chen only had to cultivate patiently as his essence energy sea started to get filled in a visible speed.


    He cultivated for another six hours and his essence energy sea waspletely filled once again. He only had to establish a connection with the heaven and earth before he could face the heavenly tribtion to reach the second stage of the Heavenly tribtion realm.

 Chapter 439 Ancient legend

    Chapter 439 Ancient legend


    "How can this be? Is husband nning to trigger a second tribtion?", Shui Liying eximed. A look of pure shock appeared on her face as she saw the reappearance of the tribtion clouds.


    Beyond Martial ascension realm, it was very hard to raise cultivation. Few cultivators took years to rise through a cultivation stage. Shui Liying herself had taken a year and half to raise her cultivation from first stage of Heavenly tribtion realm to the second stage of Heavenly tribtion realm.


    Even the most talented geniuses would need multiple months to rise through a stage in the Heavenly tribtion realm. Yet, Zhan Chen took only a day to trigger his second tribtion. If it was not shocking, then nothing could be called a surprise anymore.


    The tribtion clouds gathered once again above the dense forest. This time, the cloud gathered looked more dense and terrifying. Zhan Chen waited patiently as the tribtion cloud took almost half an hour to gather. Loud rumbling could be heard in the surrounding as thunder cackled amidst the thick cloud.


    A thick thunderbolt descended towards Zhan Chen like a falling sword. Zhan Chen waspletely prepared this time. So, heunched an attack to counter the falling thunderbolt.


    "Heaven subduing sword", he cried out andunched an upward sh towards the descending thunderbolt. The thunderbolt was cut in half as huge amount of essence energy released into the surrounding. The mysterious Yinyang diagram on Zhan Chen''s dantian was like a greedy wolf as it absorbed all the energy in the surrounding.


    Generally, cultivators could only absorb a little amount of heaven''s blessing after sessfully resisting the tribtion cloud. But Zhan Chen was lucky in this regard. He had the mysterious Yinyang diagram on his dantian which could absorb any kind of heavenly energy and store them for his future use.


    The tribtion cloud didn''t dissipate this time as it grew in ferocity and strength. Zhan Chen prepared himself as a more terrifying thunderbolt descended from the sky.


    --------------------


    "This is probably my limit. I can''t go any further", the shadow devil sent a mentalmunication to the earth devil.


    "I can still infiltrate the Jade harmony city on my own. But I need master''s permission", the earth devil replied.


    "Let us stop here then. I am not sure why master changed his mind at thest moment. He was nning to let us settle down in the vicinity of the Xuantian sect. But soon after we reached there, he changed his mind and instructed us to travel to the Jade harmony city", the shadow devil spoke.


    "Who knows master''s mind? For someone so young, he has the capability to y devilmanders. His physical strength is fearsome but what terrified me the most is his soul maniption abilities", the earth devil added.


    "True. Despite our Martial ascension realm cultivation, we can''t put on a little resistance. If master can somehow subdue devil generals, he will be more terrifying", the shadow devil spoke. Both the devils kept talking with eachother as the morning sun graced the distant horizon. The nket of darkness gradually disappeared. The warm sunlight took its ce and covered the entire sky with its morning glow.


    From a distance, the Jade harmony city seemed like a colossal behemoth rising from the earth, its metallic walls gleaming in the sunlight. The walls, towering nearly ny feet high, encircled the city in a protective embrace. Human cultivators would feel like an ant when they stand below the gigantic structure.


    Zhan Chen felt slightly surprised after seeing the scene infront of him. In his past life, he had witnessed many grand cities, but none of them possessed walls of such proportion. The enormity of the Jade Harmony City''s fortifications exceeded his imagination.


    Shui Liying noticed the expression on Zhan Chen''s face and a soft smile appeared on her pretty face.


    "Husband, this city is built by the ancient cultivators. It has never fallen in the past milennia. This city is already there even before the establishment of the Spirit pce", she exined.


    "It has such a history!", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow.


    "There is a legend that in the ancient past, a great battle was fought between ancient races. Our human race is also participating in that battle. The city exists since then. It is a bastion for human cultivators against enemies. In the Known history, it has always been able to protect the humans from the rampaging magical beasts of the Shredded Mountain range", she added.


    Zhan Chen felt curious as he saw the enormous fortified city infront of him. He could tell that the building materials of the wall had some special origin. "Liying, what actually is the material used to build such a wall? It can bear the devastation of powerful attacks for such a long time. So, the materials used to build this wall most be special", Zhan Chen asked. They kept talking with eachother as Shui Liying''s flying treasure drawn close to the Jade harmony city.


    The city walls appeared in it''s full grandeur when Zhan Chen approached it''s vicinity. He saw the armoured soldiers around and a look of understanding appeared on his face. ''No wonder, the shadow devil and the Earth devil choose to stop. With such security measures, it will be very hard to avoid scrutiny'', he thought to himself.


    He couldmunicate with his ves as long as they are not very far away. So, he was already updated about their situation even before seeing the city walls of the Jade harmony city.


    There were Core condensation realm soldiers guarding the city wall of the Jade harmony city. All the soldiers were wearing ck armours and all their faces were stern as they guard the enormous entrance to the Jade harmony city.


    "Senior, may I have your name? It is customary to register yourself before entering the Jade harmony city", the guard leader came forward and spoke. He had infused his voice with essenge energy. So, his voice was loud and clear.


    "Stormsteel brigade of the imperial army?", Shui Liying softly murmured. She released her aura slightly and the expression of the guard leader changed.


    "Senior, sorry for the inconvenience. I will contact ourmander right away", the guard leader spoke.


    "No need. I am already here", a middle aged mane out. He immediately bowed his head after appearing infront of Shui Liying and Zhan Chen.


    "So, it is senior Shui. Sorry for noting to greet you earlier. Let me take you to the camp of the Xuantian sect first. We will deliver your identity tokenter", the middle aged man spoke. Zhan Chen could see that the middle agedmander had a cultivation base of second stage Heavenly tribtion realm.


    "So, the imperial army has already taken over the security of the Jade harmony city", Shui Liying softly murmured. She was not hiding her voice. So, the middle aged man could hear her words.


    "Senior, it has been two days already since we have reced the city guards. If there are any inconveniences, please let us know", the middle aged man spoke humbly. Zhan Chen could see that the middle aged man had genuine respect towards Shui Liying.


    "Lead the way. Bring us to the camp of our Xuantian sect", Shui Liying ordered.


    The middle aged man soared into the sky and led Zhan Chen and Shui Liying towards the southern direction. Zhan Chen could sense many powerful soul consciousness looking at their direction. Shui Liying didn''t bother to hide her identity as she released her aura.


    The intruding soul consciousnesses receded as first as they came. Zhan Chen kept observing the city below and found countless human cultivators roaming the streets of the Jade harmony city.

 Chapter 440 A visitor

    Chapter 440 A visitor


    "That mansion in the middle is the current base of the Xuantian sect", the middle agedmander spoke. He pointed towards a huge mansion which looked most eye-catching among other buildings nearby.


    "This entire area is alloted to the Xuantian sect. Sect disciples and the powers close to the Xuantian sect can stay here", themander further added. Zhan Chen felt slightly surprised by the preferential treatment given to the Xuantian sect. A slight curiousity appeared in his mind as he wanted to find out the arrangements of the Sky dragon alliance.


    "You may leave now. If their is something for which you need my help, you may visit our Xuantian sect base", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Many thanks for senior''s words. If there is any emergency, I will have to disturb senior", themander spoke. He gave a respectful bow to Shui Liying before flying away.


    "Husband, follow me. Let''s find out what is the arrangement of the Sky dragon alliance", Shui Liying spoke. Together both of them flew towards the mansion which was the acting base of the Xuantian sect.


    There was a huge hall in the ground floor of the mansion. All the upper echelons of the Xuantian sect were gathered there. Deng Yue, the sect master of the Xuantian sect was standing in the middle as she heard one of the elder''s words.


    "Hmm!", she was the first to notice the presence of Shui Liying and Zhan Chen in the vicinity.


    "Martial aunt Liying is here", she announced to the crowd gathered.


    "Has not senior Liying returned to the sect? What is she doing here?", the elders felt surprised for a moment.


    "There is no point in discussing among ourselves. Let''s wee her", Ying Chao proposed. Deng Yue agreed to his proposal and flew outside to wee Shui Liying and Zhan Chen. All the other elders went outside along with her and waited for Shui Liying''s arrival.


    "Greetings senior Liying", the elders greeted Shui Liying. Zhan Chen didn''t want to appear rude. So, he also greeted all the upper echelons of the Xuantian sect.


    "Let''s talk inside. I am curious about our situation in the Sky dragon alliance", Shui Liying spoke. She strode towards the vast hall in the ground floor and everyone else followed behind.


    "Martial aunt, have not you returned to the sect? Why have youe to the Jade harmony city?", Deng Yue asked. The elders were also curious as they looked towards Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying was one of the most respected emperors of the Xuantian sect. She was not only renowned in the Xuantian sect rather her fame spread across the entire Centralnd.


    Her cultivation base was amazing but it was not the reason of her widespread reputation. The true contributing factor was her reputation as a wood element cultivator. As an emperor proficient in wood element, she could save cultivators with critical injuries. Moreover, her elemental mastery had reached to such a point that she could use wood element to nullify most of the poisons. So, it could only be called as a blessing if Shui Liying willingly came to visit a ce.


    She generally didn''t see any guests. So, even the Xuantian sect cultivators considered themselves lucky if she visit them.


    "Let me be clear. I am here only for him. I will stay in the Jade harmony city as long as he participates in this war", Shui Liying spoke.


    The Xuantian sect elders looked towards Zhan Chen with a hint of surprise on their faces. They couldn''t believe that the always aloof, peak master of the Serene bamboo peak would go to such a length for a junior.


    "What is his rtionship with senior Liying?", almost all of them though the same question in their heads. Even Deng Yue herself waspletely surprised after she heard Shui Liying''s words. She was aware about Shui Liying''s dislike towards the men as a whole. So, it was a surprise for her after seeing how attached Shui Liying was to Zhan Chen.


    "Martial aunt, it means you will be staying in the Jade harmony city for a longer period?", she asked Shui Liying for confirmation.


    "Yes", Shui Liying nodded.


    "It is assuring. With your presnce, our sect''s standing in the Jade harmony city will improve", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Sect master is right. It is reassuring to have senior Liying here", the elders agreed unanimously. They could get treatment now even if they were critically injured. So, they were indeed happy to have Shui Liying in their base.


    "Hmm!", Zhan Chen felt few powerful auras approaching the base of the Xuantian sect. Shui Liying and Deng Yue noticed the same after few moments.


    "Second princess! Is she here after finding out the arrival of martial aunt?", Deng Yue muttered. Her voice was not loud. So, everyone could hear her words.


    "Don''t guess wildly. Let''s see what does she want from us", Shui Liying calmly spoke.


    "Okay. Invite her in", Deng Yue looked towards Ying Chao.


    Ying Chao returned with a gracefuldy and her two golden armoured guards. The faces of the golden armoured guards were expressionless as they followed the graceful lookingdy into the main hall.


    Zhan Chen could see the flustered expression on many elder''s faces as they shifted their gazes hurriedly. None dare to lock gazes with the gracefuldy who just came in.


    She was covering her face with a delicate veil, yet her presence was enough to fluster the many Heavenly tribtion realm experts. Her graceful body draped in an azure robe was a sight to behold. Even, Ying Chao who was reputed for his upright manners was slightly flustered after seeing the bewitching figure infront of him.


    "Senior Liying, please ept this bow from me I , Xie Lanying have always heard about you but never got a chance to meet with you in person", the graceful lookingdy spoke. Those elders who had doubt in their heads, got rity after hearing her words.


    "You really are like the rumours say. Imperial family really have some capable offsprings", Shui Liying spoke softly. She observed Xie Lanying. No matter how she looked, her demeanor and bearing appeared wless to her.


    "Senior, overpraises me. I am not capable as my first brother and ninth sister", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Everyone, we can talkter. Prepare a room for martial aunt and second princess", Deng Yue spoke. Despite her fierce personality, she knew how to carry herself as the sect master. She sent away all the elders and gave Shui Liying and Xie Lanying some private space.


    No one noticed the veiled beauty was sneaking nces towards Zhan Chen. Xie Lanying fooled almost everyone but her sneaky nces couldn''t escape the person in question.

 Chapter 441 Femme fatale

    Chapter 441 Femme fatale


    "Princess, you can speak freely. Why have you visited us?", Shui Liying asked. There were Deng Yue and Zhan Chen sitting beside her as they looked towards Xie Lanying.


    Xie Lanying felt her heartbeat quickened when Zhan Chen looked towards her. There was not a single day when she had not thought about him after leaving the Grand sectpetition.


    Initially, she was merely curious about Zhan Chen as he was the scion of the ancient Zhan n. He was able to resist her charm technique in the grand sectpetetion, that added to her curiousity.


    After getting back to the imperial capital, she tried to find out more information about him. The more she knew, the deeper she fell for Zhan Chen. Lately, there was not a single day when she had not think about Zhan Chen. She heard about his arrival with Shui Liying. So, she hurried over to see him. Ofcourse, she had important business with Shui Liying. But it was not so urgent that she would run over to the Xuantian sect as soon as she got the news.


    Her primary purpose was aplished. So, she calmly spoke with Shui Liying.


    "Senior, you are aware about the situation in the Yellow stone city. The devils are rampaging and the city has already fallen to them. The situation is more or less same in the other provinces. Except the Dragon province, every provinces in the Centralnd are facing trouble now. Even the border provinces like the Northern province, the western province and the eastern province is already facing the invasion of the devils. If they are not stopped, our Northern desert continent will fall eventually", Xie Lanying gracefully spoke.


    "Princess, just tell us what you want? If it is something doable by our Xuantian sect, we will not refuge", Shui Liying calmly replied.


    "Senior, the Sky dragon alliance needs you in the Jade harmony city. If you are willing to stay, we will not disappoint you. We are willing to give you the position of the venerable elder and will award sufficient contribution patients as long as you agree to stay", Xie Lanying spoke.


    Shui Liying furrowed her brows as she fell into a dilemma at this moment. epting a position in the Sky dragon alliance was not something, she wanted at this moment. If Zhan Chen wished to leave the Jade harmony city someday, she was nning to apany him. She was reluctant to be tied down by the responsibilities of the Sky dragon alliance.


    "Senior, here is a little gift for you. It is not from the Sky dragon alliance. Rather, it is from my Xie family. I hope, senior will ept it", Xie Lanying spoke. She took out a brokade box and handed it to Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying was slightly hesitant but she still epted the brokade box from Xie Lanying. It would be untactful if she refused the gift from the imperial family.


    A thick stream of essence energy escaped to the surrounding as soon as she lifted off the cover of the brokade box. There were shining essence energy stones ced neatly inside the brokade box.


    "Peak heaven grade essence energy stones!", Zhan Chen muttered in surprise. Both Shui Liying and Deng Yue were astonished as well after seeing the content of the brokade box.


    The essence energy stones were considered very valuable in the Northern desert continent. After the devastating war between the ancient Zhan n and the then imperial Beitang family, most of the spirit veins were destroyed. So, the already scarce essence energy stones became more difficult to find.


    Among the essence energy stones, most valuable ones were of heaven grade. They were so scarce that even the top sects like the Xuantian sect would not use them unless absolutely necessary. Among the heaven grade essence energy stones, there were low grade, mid grade, high grade and peak grade essence energy stones. The Xuantian sect only had high grade essence energy stones in store. As for the peak heaven grade essence energy stones, they were not avable naturally in the Northern desert continent. So, it was natural that even a seasoned emperor like Shui Liying felt shaken after seeing so many peak heaven grade essence energy stones. There were twenty three essence energy stones in the brokade box. Shui Liying took some time to calm down before looking towards Xie Lanying.


    "Princess, I can''t ept your gift. It is too valuable", she shook her head and pushed back the brocade box towards Xie Lanying. She was not a fool to ept suchvish gifts from the imperial family. stones were something which she needed at this moment. These stones would help her in raising her cultivation from the sixth stage After all, who would give such valuable gifts without any ulterior motive.


    "Senior, please don''t misunderstand. Our imperial family only wants to show our sincerity. If you don''t want them as gifts, you can take them as your remuneration. As it is a secret exchange between us, the Sky dragon alliance will still reward you for joining it''s ranks", Xie Lanying spoke. She was so slick in her exnation that Shui Liying found it hard to reject her. If it was any other time, she would have denied her. But the peak heaven grade essence energy stones were something which she needed at this moment. These stones would help her in raising her cultivation from the sixth stage emperor realm to the seventh stage emperor realm.


    "ept her proposal", when she was lost in her dilemma, she heard a mentalmunication from Zhan Chen. She thought a little and finally decided to listen to Zhan Chen''s suggestion.


    "Fine, I will take them as my remuneration. I would still like to thank you for bringing the peak heaven grade essence energy stones to me", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Senior, don''t embarass me. It is a joyous matter for the Sky dragon alliance to have you as a venerable elder", Xie Lanying replied.


    She took a look at Zhan Chen''s silhouette and a faint redness appeared on her face. "Senior, can I have few words with little brother Chen?", she looked towards Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying raised her eyebrow slightly after hearing her words. No one could see Xie Lanying ''s expression as she had covered her face with a delicate veil but it was natural for Shui Liying to have some misgiving towards Xie Lanying. "Husband, be careful of her. She is the most difficult to deal with among all imperial Xie family descendants", Shui Liying warned Zhan Chen through mentalmunication before walking out. Deng Yue followed Shui Liying out as she intended to give Xie Lanying and Zhan Chen some space.


    "Princess, we meet again", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile. He was trying to calm down himself as her mere presence was enough to stimte an ablebodied man.


    Xie Lanying had the Nine lotus exquisite treasure body. As the name suggested, her body was like an exquisite treasure itself. With the charming technique she cultivated, she had a fatal attraction towards any man in the.


    "Little brother, how have you been since west met?", Xie Lanying asked. Her voice was very soft and delicate as Zhan Chen felt a stirring in his heart after hearing her words.


    ''What a Nine lotus exquisite treasure body! Just by speaking, she can induce such a reaction in my body'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

    Chapter 442 An enticing invitation


    "Princess, my days are good in the Xuantian sect but today is especially wonderful", Zhan Chen replied. The faint smile on his face made Xie Lanying slightly dazed.


    "How so?", she asked involuntarily. She didn''t know why but she felt an urge to continue her conversation with Zhan Chen as much as possible.


    "Because today I get to see second princess. Getting to speak with you alone, the day can''t be more wonderful", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He was aware that the Soul seed technique was already working on her. So, he wanted to sweetmouth her and made her ept him as her man as soon as possible.


    He rarely felt such intense desire to get a woman. Earlier, he had felt such an intense desire towards Zi Nuan when he met her for first time. His cultivation technique reacted to her beauty bone and he felt a burning desire to make her as his woman.


    Now, he was feeling such a desire for Xie Lanying. She had already caught his attention when he met her in the Grand sectpetition but the situation was not favourable at that moment. Moreover, they spoke only few word in their first meeting. So, his desire was not that intense like what he was feeling right now. He felt more dermined after seeing the effect of the Soul seed technique on her.


    Xie Lanying''s cheeks reddened slightly after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Generally, she would feel disdain towards such flowery words. But she felt quite happy in her heart after hearing Zhan Chen''s honeyed words.


    "It is indeed nice to see little brother again. I have been hearing about little brother''s exploits in the Yellow stone city. If it is not too much, I would like to hear from you about your exploits", Xie Lanying spoke. She inwardly praised herself after thinking about such a brilliant idea to keep Zhan Chen engaged.


    "Princess, what I have done in the Yellow stone city is not that exaggerated. But I would still like to describe them for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I am listening", Xie Lanying nodded her head. Zhan Chen spoke about his experiences in brief but Xie Lanying got absent minded in midway. She felt lost after observing Zhan Chen''s carved face from such a close distance.


    "Princess, are you listening?", Zhan Chen decided to tease her.


    "Ye....of course", she replied quickly. Her cheeks reddenedpletely as she did her best to appear normal infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen spoke few more sentences and finished describing his experiences in the Yellow stone city. This time, Xie Lanying tried to control her emotions and heard every single words of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was speaking in in words but she could still imagine how difficult it must have been for him to escape unscathed from the Yellow stone city. A hint of worry rose in her heart after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Even she felt surprised because it was absurd for her to worry about Zhan Chen who was still like a stranger to her.


    ''When did he became so important to me?'', she wondered in her mind. She looked at the elegant young man infront of her and a hint of conviction appeared in her heart.


    ''I have already tried to not think about him in the past few days but I remain unsessful. In such a case, I only have one option. I can only make him mine. So that, I don''t have to go through such tumultuous emotions'', Xie Lanying thought to herself. A determined expression appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t see through her facial expression as she was wearing a veil to cover her face. But he could still tell that she waspondering about something.


    "What is this woman thinking?", he thought to himself. ''Unfortunately, I can''t use my heart seeking technique on her as she was wearing a very powerful soul treasure'', he thought further.


    "Little brother, why don''t youe with me? You can visit the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance and the various missions assigned to your Xuantian sect", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Your sect master has registered you as a group captain. You can see for yourself what mission best suits you. If the missions assigned to your Xuantian sect is not to your liking, you can tell me. I will pull some strings and assign a mission that suit your need", about the intention of Xie Lanying. But now, he felt delighted. He knew why she was willing to give him such preferential treatment.


    she further added.


    If it was any normal conversation, Zhan Chen would have worried about the intention of Xie Lanying. But now, he felt delighted. He knew why she was willing to give him such preferential treatment.


    "Princess, thank you very much. I don''t know how to repay you for giving me such preferential treatment. I can only say, I am honoured", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No need to worry about repaying me. It is only a minor matter", Xie Lanying spoke with a dismissive tone. Inwardly, she felt very satisfied that Zhan Chen took his offer.


    "Princess, please give me some time. I need to inform others about travelling to the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I am waiting", Xie Lanying replied.


    A thoughtful expression appeared on her face after Zhan Chen left. ''I can''t be more sure. Just his presence alone able to sooth my mind. There is also that strange feeling that I should hold him closer. I can''t deny my feelings anymore. Who would have thought that after rejecting every proposal around me, I Xie Lanying, will be interested in a young man of eighteen years. It is shameful but I have to ept it. As long as I can keep him closer to me, my mind will be in piece'', Xie Lanying thought to herself.


    "You are travelling with second princess?", Shui Liying asked after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen could feel that she was somewhat agitated after hearing the news.


    "Husband, how can you be so careless? Her charming technique is topnotch in the continent. She is a good schemer as well. No one knows, how many cultivators has fallen victim to her charm and schemes. I only know this much. It is dangerous to get associated with her. We should not make her our enemy neither we should consider her as our friend", Shui Liying sent a mentalmunication to Zhan Chen. Sect master, Deng Yue was standing beside her. So, she resorted to mentalmunication to talk with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen could see that Shui Liying was genuinely worried for him. He felt warm in his heart. In this life, he had not made many friends but he managed to find many amazing women for himself. Few of them were more than friends, with whom he could share everything in his life.


    "Liying, beleive in me. I am not going to be bewitched by her. Rather it will be me from whom she can''t escape. Think about it. How much she can help us if I get her as my woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, are you serious? It is one of the most beloved daughter of the Xie emperor we are talking about. If anything goes wrong, we may have to pay a great price to handle the situation", Shui Liying sent a mentalmunication with disbelief in her eyes. Deng Yue by her side could see that she was talking with Zhan Chen through mentalmunication. She felt curious but she didn''t disturb either Zhan Chen or Shui Liying.


    "Liying, don''t you have trust in your man? I will not take a risk if it is not worth it. Moreover, I already have a advantage. Sooner rather thanter I will make her your junior sister", Zhan Chen replied. His eyes shown brilliantly as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying blushed after seeing him like this. "Okay, you can go now. It is impolite make princess wait", she replied. This time she was not hiding her voice. So, Deng The could hear her words.


    "Elder sister, senior, I am taking my leave. We can talk about sect matters after I return", Zhan Chen spoke. He bowed slightly towards Deng Yue before leaving. He didn''t bow towards Shui Liying this time. His disregard towards Shui Liying couldn''t escape Deng Yue''s eyes.


    She looked towards Shui Liying to see her reaction but she could only discover a soft look on her face as she watched the leaving figure of Zhan Chen. She observed Shui Liying for a while as a curious expression appeared on her face. ''What is his rtionship with martial aunt?'', Deng Yue thought to herself. She didn''t know that the devil had alreadyid his traps to catch her heart. The more curious she became, the deeper she woulf fall in this quagmire. There was no escape when it came to matter of heart.

 Chapter 443 Sky dragon alliance

    Chapter 443 Sky dragon alliance


    "p, p", a twin headed dragon pped it''s wings as it carried Xie Lanying and Zhan Chen on it''s back. There was not much talk between Zhan Chen and Xie Lanying as silence loomed in the air.


    It was not like they didn''t want to talk but the situation forced them to maintain propriety. The golden armoured guards of the Xie family were following the twin headed dragon like shadows. Both Zhan Chen and Xie Lanying were sensible people. So, they chose to wait untill they reach the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance.


    The headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance was located in the middle of the Jade harmony city. It was a three storiedvish building which used to be city lord''s pce. Now the Xie family had taken over it and converted it to the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance. It was also the base of the imperial Xie family''s forces.


    "Little brother, we heave reached the headquarter", Xie Lanying spoke. She patted the twin headed dragon''s head and it descended downward.


    "Princess, thank you very much. It is a wonderful feeling to ride a majestic beast like this", Zhan Chenmented.


    "I am d that you like the ride. You can tell me if you want another ride like this. I will apany you to whatever ce you like", Xie Lanying softly added. She used mentalmunication to speak thest line. So, the golden armoured warriors were clueless about what length she was willing to go for Zhan Chen. They were still surprised nevertheless. It was the first time they had seen the second princess allowing a man on the twin headed dragon.


    They were not the only ones who were surprised. It was the entire imperial Xie family forces who were surprised by Xie Lanying''s action. "Who is this young man?", it was themon question in everyone''s head.


    The disbelief in everyone''s eyes couldn''t escape Zhan Chen''s perception. But he still acted not and followed Xie Lanying into the Sky dragon alliance''s headquarter.


    "Little brother, you have just arrived into the Jade harmony city after a long journey. Why don''t you take a little rest? I can still show you around after we sit down for a while", Xie Lanying spoke. She couldn''t be more clear about how much she wanted to talk with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was not the one to miss such a heaven sent chance. He readily epted Xie Lanying''s proposal with a smile on his face. "Princess, lead the way. It will be impolite of me to reject your proposal when you are being so considerate", Zhan Chen spoke.


    To the utter surprise of Xie family subordinates, she brought Zhan Chen towards her personal living space. "Who is this brat actually? To think the second princess would bring him to the second floor!", the Xie family''s subordinates felt more curious about Zhan Chen.


    "Xiaoling,e out. We have a guest today", Xie Lanying called out after reaching her personal space. A mature beauty walked out from a room and it was the turn of Zhan Chen to feel surprised. He was not expecting to see Zhou Xiaoling in the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance.


    She appeared more charming and beautiful than few months earlier. She blinked her eyes in surprise after seeing Zhan Chen with Xie Lanying. "Xiaoling, I think I don''t have to introduce him to you. You two have already met in the Golden leaf pavillion branch of the Yellow stone city", Xie Lanying spoke. She was keeping tab on Zhan Chen since the incident in the Cleansing incense ancient sect. So, it was not a surprise that she knew about Zhan Chen''s visit to the Golden leaf pavilion.


    "Yes, I am already acquianted with young master Chen", Zhou Xiaoling controlled her excited heart and replied with a calm voice.


    "That makes things easier. Call few of my personal maids. So that, they can tend to little brother Chen''s need", Xie Lanying instructed.


    "Young miss, I will call them right away", Zhou Xiaoling took her leave. But she didn''t forget to sneak nce at Zhan Chen who was standing beside Xie Lanying.


    "Little brother, take a seat. Make yourselffortable", Xie Lanying offered a seat to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and walked towards a beautifully carved stone chair. Xie Lanying sat opposite to him and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little brother, can I ask you few questions?", Xie Lanying asked. Her eagerness to talk with Zhan Chen could be seen from her eyes.


    "Princess, you are behaving as if we are strangers. Let me make it clear. You don''t need permission to ask me any questions", Zhan Chen replied.


    Xie Lanying felt warmth surging in her heart after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. If it was any normal time what Zhan Chen had spoken would have felt pretty natural to her because no men would be foolish enough to deny a conversation with the topmost beauty of the Northern desert continent. Yet, because of the Soul seed technique, such ordinary words from Zhan Chen were able to warm her heart.


    Zhou Xiaoling returned with four pretty maids. Both Zhan Chen and Xie Lanying shifted their eyes towards her after she came back.


    "Bring in some Cloud crest plum for little brother. Bring the Wyrmblood wine as well. Don''t let anyone enter inside unless it is very urgent", Xie Lanying instructed to her maids.


    "Xiaoling, tell our imperial chefs to prepare some spirit beast meat. Ensure that they use the best grade of meat avable to us", she instructed to Zhou Xiaoling.


    "Young miss, don''t worry. I will handle this", Zhou Xiaoling spoke. She took a nce towards Zhan Chen as a thought appeared in her mind. "Young miss is done for. Seems like she has already fallen for young master Chen", she thought to herself.


    ''I can''t stop thinking about him as well. I am still in control when he is not around. But now.....'', she mped her thighs tightly to control the stirring she was feeling inside her little sister.


    Zhan Chen could see how sincere was Xie Lanying in treating him. The Soul seed technique could affect her heart and mind but it couldn''t control her action in any way. She was willing to take out such treasures in their first meet, it went to show, what kind of person she actually was. Ordinary prince or princess would never take out treasures like Cloud crest plum and Wyrmblood wine even if they were meeting their love interest for the first time. At least one thing was confirmed that the second princess, Xie Lanying was not a singy person at all.


    "Little brother Chen, who else is in your family beside you?", Xie Lanying asked. She felt it was only natural to know about Zhan Chen''s family since she was nning to get closer to him.


    "I have my mother and father. Besides that I have my elder sister Qingyue, uncles and aunts. My grandmother is still alive as well", Zhan Chen replied with a smile. Xie Lanying''s heart skipped a beat after she saw the the soft smile on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Princess, what about you?", Zhan Chen asked in return.

 Chapter 444 Sky dragon alliance (2)

    Chapter 444 Sky dragon alliance (2)


    "My mother is the third concubine of my imperial father. The fifth prince, Xie Yuan is my own brother. Other than him, I have seven more siblings. But I am closer to only my ninth sister", Xie Lanying replied.


    The maids walked in with few pieces of Cloudcrest plums and Wyrmblood wine. Zhan Chen took a deep breath when the aroma of Wyrmblood wine assailed his nose.


    "What a strong wine!", Zhan Chen muttered to himself. Xie Lanying smiled after seeing the surprised expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Little brother, you may not heard about it but it is the best wine of our Centralnd. Just a sip alone will make you intoxicated", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Wait outside. If there is anything I will call you" she looked towards her personal maids. All of them nodded their heads and walked outside.


    "Little brother, why don''t you taste a Cloudcrest plum. It is a sixth grade spirit fruit. I am sure that it will help you in your cultivation", Xie Lanying suggested.


    "I really want to eat it. But I have a presumptuous idea. I wonder how good it be if princess personally feed me this Cloudcrest plum", Zhan Chen spoke. A look of expectation shimmered in his eyes as he looked towards Xie Lanying.


    It was indeed a presumptuous request to begin with but Xie Lanying was already under the influence of the Soul seed technique. To her, anything was fine as long as she could see the young man infront of her happy.


    "Do you really want me to feed you?", she looked towards Zhan Chen with her charming eyes.


    "Of course, I think I will remember this day forever if second princess treats me so well", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Here", Xie Lanying didn''t say much rather she picked up a Cloud crest plum from the stone table and walked closer to Zhan Chen.


    "Princess, you should sit beside me", Zhan Chen suggested. Xie Lanying''s heart skipped a beat but she still honoured Zhan Chen''s suggestion and sat on an empty chair beside Zhan Chen.


    She brought the Cloud crest plum closer to Zhan Chen''s mouth and Zhan Chen took a bite. An evil fire lit in his heart as he looked towards the incredibly charming Xie Lanying.


    No ablebodied male could resist her charm for such a long period. His case was even worse as his cultivation method made him more susceptible towards such naturally gifted woman.


    "I can''t drag it any further. I need to make a move on her as quickly as possible otherwise I may lose control to my desire", Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Xie Lanying didn''t know what was in Zhan Chen''s mind as she brought the halfeaten Cloud crest plum closer to Zhan Chen''s mouth. This time Zhan Chen took a big bite as his lips touched the fingers of Xie Lanying.


    Xie Lanying ''s cheeks got reddened as she felt the incredibly soft feeling on her fingers. She hurriedly took away her hand as her heart started to beat rapidly.


    "Crunch, crunch", Zhan Chen ate the Cloud crest plumpletely but he seemed to be not satiated. A greedy expression appeared on his face as he looked towards Xie Lanying''s hand.


    "Little brother, do you want me to feed you another Cloud crest plum?", she asked with a red blush on her face.


    "No, I don''t want Cloud crest plum. I want to taste your fingers. They tasted better than the Cloudcrest plum", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Xie Lanying felt her heart beat quickened after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She felt hot all over her body when she noticed the greedy expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "I can''t give in this time. I want to rify few things first", she thought to herself. She was perapring to reject Zhan Chen but she felt a warm hand around her palm.


    A jolt of electricity ran through her body as she raised her head. "Princess, please", she saw the eager expression on Zhan Chen''s face. An unfamiliar feeling bubbled up in her heart when her eyes met with Zhan Chen''s.


    "Okay", she nodded softly. Zhan Chen brought her fingers closer to his mouth and started to suck them earnestly. Xie Lanying felt she would die of this unfamiliar feeling if she let Zhan Chen continue.


    "Little brother, please stop. I only want to know the answer of few questions. After that, things will be settled between us", she got a hold on her mind with extreme difficulty and looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen sucked on her little finger before freeing her hand. He felt it was unfortunate to stop when they had only began but he knew this conversation with Xie Lanying was important. He also wanted to rify their rtionship before proceeding to take the next step.


    "Princess, please ask. I promise I will not hide anything from you", Zhan Chen replied.


    Xie Lanying nodded her head as an extremely serious expression on her face. "Little brother, do you like me?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, I do", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "Are you willing to visit my imperial father and mother with me?", Xie Lanying asked.


    "Yes, I wil dly visit them. Give me some time before I personally ask your hand to the Xie emperor", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Last question, have you used an enchantment technique on me?", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a serious expression on her face.


    "Yes, I have. I have used.....", Zhan Chen was nning to exin but a soft fingertched against his lips. It was Xie Lanying who used her finger to stop Zhan Chen from speaking.


    "I am d that you are honest with me. You don''t have to exin about the enchantment technique. It is your ability and it is a fact that I have tried to enchant you before. So, we are even. Moreover, I am now deeply fallen for you. In such a technique, there is no escape. Neither do I wanted to escape. I have been avoiding this for so long. So, now I am d that I have fallen in this beautiful emotion", Xie Lanying spoke. There was deep emotion on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    his past life, couldn''t bepared with Xie Lanying''s beauty at all.


    That hateful woman was extremely beautiful but her beauty still "Call me Lanying from now on", she added. She removed the veil she was wearing and an otherworldly beautiful face appeared infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was spellbound for a moment. In his past life and this lifebined, he had never seen a beautiful face like this. An otherworldly beautiful face appeared in his mind at the same time. Till now, he had note across someone who had a more beautiful face than that woman. But now, he knew even that woman was inferior. That hateful woman who had plotted his downfall in his past life, couldn''t bepared with Xie Lanying''s beauty at all.


    That hateful woman was extremely beautiful but her beauty still could be described in words. But the beauty of Xie Lanying! Zhan Chen was sure that no schr could describe her beauty even if they saw her thousand times. She was simply like a goddess, her face was like an exquisitely heaven carved picture which had no equal in the mortal world.


    "Little brother, am I beautiful?", an enchanting voice pulled him out of his reverie. "Simply perfect, I have no words to describe your beauty", Zhan Chen replied.


    aa7b5e4a913f698f2f85f05ec8699ff27ff166e6180b5f8174783372ff054901e083e563b487c43465c42ad6963b2f6c6fe5b4713bab15e9013cec2877043e39

 Chapter 445 My beautiful Lanying

    Chapter 445 My beautiful Lanying


    "Princess, you need to know me better before we proceed to the next step. If you can ept me as I am, I will be more than happy to have you by my side", Zhan Chen spoke.


    A confused expression appeared on Xie Lanying''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. "Are you talking about your women you have brought to the Xuantian sect?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "You know about them?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow in surprise. Asoft smile appeared on Xie Lanying''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Little brother, you probably don''t know but I have been keeping tab on your activities since you left the Grand sectpetition. With our Xie family''s informationwork, it is not hard to guess as much", she replied.


    "Dont you have any problem with them?", Zhan Chen looked towards Xie Lanying.


    "Why should I? I met youter than them. Moreover, it is perfectly normal for a cultivator to have few women by their side. You can take my imperial father for example. He has one queen, nine concubine by his side", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "A woman should have more faith in her. If she is capable enough, she can keep her man by her side for as long as she wants. Let me ask you a question?", Xie Lanying looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little brother, are you nning to escape after taking advantage of me~?", She blinked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen felt he would lose control at any moment after seeing how seductive she was. "Of course not. How can I do such a wretched act? No sane man would think about it after getting such a beautiful princess like you as his woman", Zhan Chen replied. His breathing was slightly erratic after resisting the charm of Xie Lanying for so long.


    "Then it is settled~. Little brother, how are you nning to take advantage of me?", Xie Lanying asked.


    ''This is it. I can''t take it anymore'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. His face was full of desire as he looked towards Xie Lanying.


    "Little brother, don''t be shy~. I have already epted you. So, you can do whatever you like~", Xie Lanying looked towards Zhan Chen with an encouraging expression. She was feeling a little shy but as a cultivator who practiced enchanting technique, she knew how to handle such a situation. As her age was more, she felt it would be appropriate to take initiative by herself.


    Zhan Chen strode forward and hugged Xie Lanying tightly. He bent her body and nted his lips on her luscious lips.


    Xie Lanying felt nk for a moment after experiencing Zhan Chen''s sudden action. Her body also became hot as she felt the soft sensation on her lips.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know how to control himself infront of Xie Lanying. He wanted to be gentle with her but his kiss became agressive just after he touched her lips. The Celestial yinyang Sutra made him more impulsive towards women who had gifted body.


    He didn''t know how much longer the kisssted as he gave in to the soft sensation he was feeling at the moment. By the time, he let go of Xie Lanying''s lips her lips were slightly swollen.


    "I am sorry. I lost control", he apologized after finishing the kiss. He only had an impulse to ravage this otherworldly woman infront of him but he knew, he couldn''t do that to his woman. He could only control himself and try to do things in a different way.


    Or that was what he thought but Xie Lanying''s next action led him astray again. Xie Lanying was a tall beauty with raven hair. Her height was almost equal to Zhan Chen''s own. She didn''t have to give any effort as she reached for Zhan Chen''s lips on her own. Zhan Chen lost control of himself once again as he agressively nibbled on Xie Lanying''s lips.


    "Little brother, do you want to see my bed room?", she asked with charming eyes. Zhan Chen nodded his head vigorously as a bewitching smile appeared on Xie Lanying''s face.


    "Little brother, are you really nning to eat me up today?", she asked seductively.


    "Ofcourse, I do. I think I will burst due to holding up so much if I don''t get you today", Zhan Chen replied. He knew Xie Lanying was using her charm but he had noin about it. It only ired up his desire to get her sooner.


    "Little brother, do I look like such a cruel woman? Of course, I will take care of you. Follow me to my bed room", Xie Lanying spoke. She held Zhan Chen''s hand and took him to her bedroom.


    Her room waspletely luxurious with night pearls covering the roof of her bed room. There was an intoxicatingvender smell in the air which ired up his desire.


    "Little brother, do you like my room?", Xie Lanying asked.


    "I do. It is the best ce to gobble you up", Zhan Chen looked towards Xie Lanying with a heated expression.


    "Oh my~. Seems like little brother is really determined", Xie Lanying brought her hand infront of her mouth and smiled charmingly.


    "If little brother is so determined why don''t you take off your clothes? Let elder sister take care of you", Xie Lanying spoke.she walked forward a d started to remove Zhan Chen''s clothes.


    Zhan Chen didn''t have to do anything as Xie Lanying removed her clothes. Her hands were inexperienced but with her intelligence, it didn''t took her much time to remove Zhan Chen''s clothes.


    "Heaven! How can you be this big?", she eximed after removing Zhan Chen''s pant. Her gaze got fixated on Zhan Chen''s little brother which was already raring to go.


    "Little brother, you are really something else. I have some Knowledge about these matters due to my charm technique and you can only be called extraordinary among men. I think I got lucky", Xie Lanying spoke with a smile on her face.


    "Please lie down. I know how to take care of you. I promise you will feel better in no time", Xie Lanying spoke. She held Zhan Chen''s hand and led him to her cozy looking bed.


    "It will be better if you take care of me. Otherwise, I may lose control if I act on my desire", Zhan Chen spoke. He lied down and waited for Xie Lanying to begin.


    "Little brother, there is no turning back from here. Do you really want me?", Xie Lanying looked towards Zhan Chen with her phoenix like eyes.


    "I don''t have to repeat myself. I want you Xie Lanying, to be my woman", Zhan Chen spoke. There was desire and posessiveness in his eyes as he looked towards the incredibly beautiful woman infront of him.


    "Little brother, I understand. I promise, I will not disappoint you", Xie Lanying spoke. She sat by Zhan Chen''s side and brought her hand close to Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Her skin felt incredibly soft when she wrapped her palm around Zhan Chen''s dragon. She started to stroke the excited dragon gently while looking at Zhan Chen''s expression.


    "Shhhh!", Zhan Chen took a deep breath when she hastened her speed. The amount of pleasure he was at the moment was unreal. Before today if someone told him that he could feel so much pleasure just by a woman''s hand, he would haveughed it off. But now, he knew how wrong he was.


    Xie Lanying ''s hands seemed inexperienced at first but quickly, she learned how to move her hand. She had already acquired some theoritical knowledge about pleasure techniques now she was applying them on Zhan Chen.


    Her techniques withbination to her Nine lotus exquisite treasure body was a fatalbination for Zhan Chen. "Little brother, is elder sister''s hand feels good?", she asked Zhan Chen while stroking his dragon.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon twitched in pleasure as he heard such seductive wordsing from Xie Lanying. Her hand, her voice everything was fatal for any ordinary man. Zhan Chen was also "Lanying, can you use your mouth?", she looked towards the charming princess. After feeling this much pleasure, he wouldn''t let feeling the effect as his dragon twitched in pleasure.


    "Lanying, can you use your mouth?", she looked towards the charming princess. After feeling this much pleasure, he wouldn''t let her leave her side even if she wanted.


    "Little brother, it is slightly awkward for me but I can try", Xie Lanying spoke. She knelt down beside Zhan Chen''s thighs and brought her mouth closer to Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Mmm", a muffled moan escaped Zhan Chen''s dragon as he felt the touch of Xie Lanying''s mouth around his dragon. It was an otherworldly experience. Her mouth felt so soft that Zhan Chen felt he could keep his dragon inside her mouth forever.


    Xie Lanying brought her mouth close to Zhan Chen''s base before withdrawingpletely. Zhan Chen''s mouth twitched in frustration as a seductive smile appeared on her face.


    "Little brother, how does it feel?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Please continue", Zhan Chen could only implore her. At this moment, he really wanted this bewitching woman to continue taking care of him.


    "Little brother, you are really cute~. Rest assured. I will definitely take care of you today", Xie Lanying spoke. She brought her mouth closer to Zhan Chen''s dragon and swallowed it again.

 Chapter 446 Am I beautiful?

    Chapter 446 Am I beautiful?


    "Slurp, slurp", the ambiguous music rang in the air as Xie Lanying used her mouth to please Zhan Chen''s little dragon. Her mouth was like a sea of softness as Zhan Chen drowned himself in pleasure.


    "Little brother, you really can hold yourself. It has been a while yet this little devil is not tired at all", Xie Lanying spoke after releasing Zhan Chen''s dragon from her mouth. She wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s dragon and stroke it gently.


    Her little sister was salivating since a long time ago. She didn''t want to torture herself anymore. So, she started to take off her clothes.


    "Little brother, just rx. Let me handle this little devil", she spoke while taking off her clothes. Zhan Chen''s little dragon trembled in excitement after he saw the absolute beauty infront of him.


    Milk like glistening skin, raven hair and bewitching assets! Xie Lanying ''s body was full of perfection from head to toe. Zhan Chen thought heaven must have taken it''s sweet time when it was creating such a beautiful creature. His little dragon twitched in anticipation as he witnessed Xie Lanying undressing herself.


    "Little brother, am I beautiful?", Xie Lanying asked. She was feeling shy but she didn''t behave like any ordinary woman. Rather she took the matter to her own hand which showed her personality, an extremely confident and proud princess.


    "Princess, you are extremely beautiful. To say the truth, Ick the words to express your beauty perfectly. You are too beautiful, extremely perfect", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I am d to hear such words of praise from little brother. You, yourself is not bad. No man in the entire Centralnd is more handsome than little brother. Moreover, you are so talented. So, I can''t ask for a better bargain than you", Xie Lanying replied.


    She climbed on the bed and sat on Zhan Chen''s waist. Her little sister was rubbing against Zhan Chen''s dragon. "Little brother, we can finally be man and woman. Are you ready for it?", Xie Lanying asked. Zhan Chen felt drops of water dripping on his dragon. He could tell that Xie Lanying waspletely eager as well.


    "Lanying, I am ready. You can do the honour yourself", Zhan Chen spoke. Xie Lanying raised her buttocks and sat on Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Her beautiful pinkish flower became reddish as she experienced the first feeling of union. Zhan Chen could see that she felt pain but she didn''t let out a sound. Despite the pain, she tried to move her waist and tried to please Zhan Chen.


    "Lanying, stay still for a while. The pain will go away", Zhan Chen spoke. His dragon twitched violently inside her cave as he felt an incredible tightness around his dragon.


    "Don''t worry. It is alright", Xie Lanying spoke. Zhan Chen could finally sense her cultivation after their union. Xie Lanying was actually an emperor in the second stage of the emperor realm.


    "Thap, thap", she started to move her waist after few moments. Zhan Chen felt he would burst at any moment as her canal tightly trapped his dragon.


    Her incredible assets danced in the air as she moved her waist. In addition with her exquisite figure, it was a sight to behold for Zhan Chen.


    "Mmm~", Xie Lanying didn''t want to moan but it was not something she could control. The pleasure was too much for as well as she moved her waist up and down.


    "Little brother, I can''t hold back myself anymore", she spoke after moving for a while. Her body arched up as she reased her yin essence on top of Zhan Chen.


    "Lanying, it is my turn", Zhan Chen spoke. He tugged her to his side and ced her underneath his body. He parted apart her thighs and prated her cave with a single thrust.


    He deliberately moved slowly as Xie Lanying was still sensitive after releasing her yin essence. Zhan Chen leaned forward and nted a kiss on her incredibly soft lips.


    "Little brother, no need to hold back yourself", Xie Lanying softly muttered. She tightened her hand around Zhan Chen''s back and her soft body was enough to re up Zhan Chen''s lust.


    He increased his pace while kissing Xie Lanying''s soft lips. The tightness was amazing and Zhan Chen felt he couldn''t suppress his yang essence anymore. He gave a deep thrust and finally released his yang essence inside Xie Lanying''s womb.


    "Little brother, please don''t leave me ever, okay?", Xie Lanying looked towards Zhan Chen with an emotional expression. Zhan Chen pressed his lips on her lips and both of them shared a passionate kiss with eachother.


    "Princess, my goal is not in the mortal world. I want to visit that fabled immortal world", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I don''t mean it that way. What I want to say is never cast me away. I will follow you for sure even if you go the immortal world", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "How can you think about such things? Our rtionship has just began. If you follow me to the immortal world, I will give you an empire to rule which will suit your stature", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a tender expression on his face as he looked towards the charming princess lying beneath his body.


    "Little brother, I really love you now. We have yet to reach the immortal world yet you are nning to give me an empire to rule? You are truly adorable", Xie Lanying spoke as brought her hands to cupp the face of Zhan Chen. Her phoenix like eyes were filled with tender emotion as she looked at Zhan Chen''s face.


    She felt a reactioning from Zhan Chen''s dragon as he had still kept it inside her cave. "Little brother, why are you not moving? I can tell that you are yet to be satisfied", she looked towards Zhan Chen with her charming eyes.


    Her soft voice was like the trigger point as Zhan Chen started to pound her again. Xie Lanying moaned sweetly as she weed the rain of passioning from Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen grabbed her beautiful mountain peaks and started to y with them while pounding her. Waves after waves of pleasure coarsed through Xie Lanying''s body as her cave became watery again.


    "Little brother, I can''t take it anymore~", she spoke while moaning as a stream of yin water came out from her pinkish cave. Zhan Chen''s dragon trembled in pleasure as it loved the yin shower it had received.


    "Little brother, don''t mind me. Contiue whatever you are doing. It feels good as long as I am in your embrace", Xie Lanying spoke.


    It was a sweet day for her as she received the passionate love of Zhan Chen. By the time Zhan Chen let her go, her entire body was numb due to extreme pleasure she had experienced.


    "Little brother,e closer. I want to hold you for a while", she spoke. Zhan Chen followed her wish and let her hold him. She snuggled in his embrace and went to sleep. Few minutester, Zhan Chen could head her even breathing.


    rose in Zhan Chen''s heart as he held Xie Lanying while she was sleeping.


    An incredibly charming princess, probably the most beautiful of this world actually slept like a little girl at this moment. A soft tendness rose in Zhan Chen''s heart as he held Xie Lanying while she was sleeping.


    "How can I possibly cast you away? It is unthinkable to even think about it. I will hold you closer and ensure your happiness, my beautiful princess.


    As for going to the immortal world, that is inevitable but given your cultivation base, you will probably follow me there soon", Zhan Chen muttered to himself. He tucked away a strand of hair behind Xie Lanying ''s ear before separating himself from her embrace.


    He had already noticed Zhou Xiaoling who was waiting outside Xie Lanying ''s room. He sent her a mentalmunication before sitting cross legged inside Xie Lanying''s personal room.


    He closed his eyes and operated the Celestial yinyang Sutra. The divine yinyang diagram on his dantian lit up as it started to release thick strands of pure energy.


    The pure energy got sucked into the energy whirlpools that had appeared after he broke through to the Heavenly tribtion realm. He currently has two energy whirlpools which went to show that he was currently a second stage Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator.


    The primordial yin essence of Xie Lanying was quite potent. Zhan Chen felt he may be able to break through to the third stage of the Heavenly tribtion realm with the help of Xie Lanying ''s primordial essence.


    His energy sea started to get filled up at a visible rate. The Yinyang divine diagram never ceased to operate as it continued to provide him with thick strands of pure essence energy.


    Zhan Chen felt he was reaching the peak of the Heavenly tribtion realm''s second stage. He forcefully stopped himself from cultivating anymore as he didn''t want to trigger a tribtion while he was inside the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance.


    He walked outside and went to have a talk with Zhou Xiaoling.

 Chapter 447 I can teach you

    Chapter 447 I can teach you


    Zhou Xiaoling seemed slightly tense as she waited outside Xie Lanying''s room. "When will theye out? It has been half an hour since third prince is looking for young miss", she muttered to herself with a worried expression.


    "Xiaoling, what is the matter?", Zhan Chen sent a mentalmunication to her after noticing her worried expression with his soul consciousness. Zhou Xiaoling raised her head and found the door of the second princess ''s personal room was finally opening.


    Zhan Chen came out from the opened doors and looked towards Zhou Xiaoling. "Zhan Chen, where is young miss?", she asked with an urgent voice.


    ''What is the matter?", Zhan Chen raised his eyebrow.


    "Third prince is looking for her. It has been half an hour since I have been waiting to inform young miss", Zhou Xiaoling replied.


    "She is sleeping. Shall I wake her up?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zhou Xiaoling.


    "Yes, please inform her. We can''t be reckless in the matters of the Sky dragon alliance", Zhou Xiaoling replied.


    "Okay", Zhan Chen nodded his head. He shook Xie Lanying ''s shoulder gently as she took her sweet time to open her eyes.


    "Little brother, what is the matter?", she asked Zhan Chen. Her sleepy face looked so beautiful that Zhan Chen couldn''t resist himself. He cupped her face and pressed his lips on her luscious lips.


    Xie Lanying cooperated passionately. Her heart filled with love and sweetness as soon as she woke up from sleep.


    "Lanying, you need to wake up. Xiaoling is waiting for you outside. It is probably the third prince who is looking for you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "It is probably something rted to the Sky dragon alliance. I need to talk with third brother", Xie Lanying muttered.


    She removed the soft quilt covering her body and picked up her clothes. Just her graceful movement and picture perfect naked body was enough to lit up the fire in Zhan Chen''s heart.


    "Little brother, have some patience. Let me finish my work in the Sky dragon alliance. After that, we can have the entire night together", Xie Lanying spoke with a smile on her face. She would be lying if she tell that she was not happy after seeing the desire filled expression on Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen''s expression was like apliment to her charm. She was happy that she could stimte her beloved man just by standing naked.


    She put on her clothes and walked out together with Zhan Chen. A smile appeared on her face when she looked towards Zhou Xiaoling.


    "Xiaoling, take care of him properly. I need to wrap up my works in the Sky dragon alliance", she spoke.


    "Lanying, I have forgot to mention about Xiaoling. I have already made her my woman before we met", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Really?", a look of disbelief appeared on Xie Lanying''s face. Zhou Xiaoling felt nervous all of a sudden as she avoided the curious eyes of her young miss.


    "Xiaoling, do you like him?", Xie Lanying asked. Zhou Xiaoling nodded her head nervously as she didn''t dare to look towards her young miss at this moment.


    "How silly! Why are you being so flustered all of a sudden? It is only a good thing for me. Take care of him properly in my absense", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Young miss, I will", Zhou Xiaoling replied.


    "Okay, I am leaving him to you. We will discuss about this matter when I return", Xie Lanying spoke. She threw a charming nce towards Zhan Chen before walking into the long corridor.


    "Big baddie, ask her to bring out the meat she has prepared. She has kept the meat outside but the smell is still reaching to my nose", Zhan Chen suddenly received a mentalmunication. His mouth twitched after he heard the urgent voice of Long Xinyu I side her mind.


    "This little hungry dragon", Zhan Chen shook his head in frustration. Zhou Xiaoling felt puzzled after seeing the expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Little girl,e out already. There is no outsider here", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "How many times do I have to tell you that I am no little ?", an aggrieved voice came out from the empty air as Long Xinyu showed herself. Zhou Xiaoling was taken aback by the suffer turns of event.


    "Zhan Chen, who is she?", Zhou Xiaoling asked with a confused expression.


    "Her name is Long Xinyu. She is a starving little dragon who has been salivating for the meat you have prepared", Zhan Chen introduced Long Xinyu.


    "I think I have seen her portrait somewhere", Zhou Xiaoling big sister infront of her during her stay in the Centralnd.


    "She is the one behind the incident in the Grand sectpetition muttered. Long Xinyu blinked her eyes as she had never seen this big sister infront of her during her stay in the Centralnd.


    "She is the one behind the incident in the Grand sectpetition where severalpetetors were killed while they were in the Serpentine forest", Zhan Chen reminded.


    "This little girl!", Zhou Xiaoling muttered in disbelief.


    "They deserved it. How dare they kill all the magical beasts in that forest without any prior grudge?", Long Xinyu retorted.


    "Little girl, stop arguing. No one is ming you for that incident. I only brought that matter up because I want to introduce you to Zhou Xiaoling", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Little sister, please pardon my rudeness. I will immediately bring the Spirit beast meat as my repentance", Zhou Xiaoling spoke. She was a sensible woman who knew how to behave in a given situation.


    "Little girl, you are really moving like wind. I don''t know what kind of secret you are carrying to trespass into the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance without being detected", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Call me Long Xinyu. How many time do I have to remind you that I am no little", Long Xinyu spoke angrily. Zhan Chen felt she was really adorable when she had such an angry expression on her beautiful face.


    Long Xinyu ''s nose twitched all of a sudden as she smelled the aroma of the cooked spirit beastmeat. She forgot about reprimanding Zhan Chen and looked towards the long corridor with an expectant expression on her face.


    Zhan Chen could only shake his head after seeing her like this. "I am not wrong. She is a starving little dragon", he murmured while chuckling.


    There were fewrge pieces of roasted meat on the te which Zhou Xiaoling was carrying. Long Xinyu gulped audibly after seeing the spirit beast meat getting closer.


    "Xiaoling, I have sensed a breakthrough opportunity while cultivating inside princess'' room. My breakthrough may cause a ruckus. So, I am leaving for a while. If possible, provide her with few more tes of spirit beast meat. I will return after cultivating for a while", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Don''t worry about her. Focus on your breakthrough", Zhou Xiaoling replied softly. Zhan Chen walked closer to her and ced a kiss on her lips. Long Xinyu ''s face reddened slightly as she witnessed the scene infront of her.


    "Long Xinyu, don''t cause trouble while I am away", Zhan Chen spoke to her before leaving the personal living space of Xie Lanying. He ignored the curious nces of Xie family subordinates as he walked out from the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance.


    -----------------


    "Husband, you are back", Shui Liying noticed the presence of Zhan Chen as soon he returned to the Xuantian sect''s base. She was using a mentalmunication. So, none could hear her conversation with Zhan Chen.


    "Liying,e with me. I need your help to stand guard for me while I am undergoing the tribtion", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Husband, let''s meet outside the city gate. Currently, there are too many eyes on you", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Okay, wait for me outside the city gate", Zhan Chen replied. Shui Liying''s suggestion sound logical to him as he felt many annoying soul consciousness keeping watch on him after he left the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance.


    Zhan Chen asked for a personal room after talking with Shui Liying. He decided to make sure that even the Xuantian sect cultivators would not have any idea about his movement.


    He used the Ethereal cloud steps and left the Xuantian sect''s base undetected. He used the Myriad transformation technique and changed his facial structure. Now, he was looking like a young cultivator in his twenties. No one could tell that he was Zhan Chen after seeing his altered feature.


    Zhan Chen blended in with the roaming cultivators as he walked towards the city gate. There was no checking for the outgoing cultivators. So, he felt no difficulty in leaving the Jade harmony city.


    He walked towards a distance before reverting to his original appearance. Shui Liying was nearby. She immediately detected the presence of Zhan Chen as soon as he reverted to his original appearance.


    "Husband, how did you do this? Your facial structure aside even your soul fluctuation didn''t seem familiar?", she asked with a baffled expression.


    "It is the myriad transformation technique. If you want to learn it, I can teach you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, this technique sounds amazing but let''s keep it aside. We need to find a ce first where you can go through your tribtion without attracting any unwanted attention", Shui Liying spoke.

 Chapter 448 Tribulation

    Chapter 448 Tribtion


    The majestic trees towered above, their canopies forming a dense nket that blocked out most of the sunlight. The forest was called Talonshade forest which lied in between the boundary of the Earth province and the Dragon province.


    Shui Liying suggested this secluded forest for Zhan Chen''s next tribtion, believing its remoteness would evoke negligible attraction. The forest seemed almost serene, the chirping of birds filling the silence. Zhan Chen nodded his head after seeing the serene environment. "It is indeed a good ce", he muttered.


    He brought out a sword from his spatial ring and sat down cross legged. The bright sky started to darken after few minutes of his cultivation.


    Shui Liying sat at some distance, her eyes constantly darted between the sky and Zhan Chen. Her memories of his previous tribtions were still fresh. The fierce power of those tribtions had been enough to terrify any cultivator. Yet, Zhan Chen had managed to ovee the tribtion almost effortlessly. "No matter how dangerous it gets, I think husband can manage", she consoled her worried heart.


    As the first signs of tribtion began, the serene atmosphere of the forest changed drastically. Birds fled their nests, animals scurried into hiding, and even the trees seemed to sway in apprehension. The once-clear sky darkened, overshadowed by an immense tribtion cloud. Thunder rumbled ominously, announcing the impending storm.


    Shui Liying''s heart raced. Even though she had seen Zhan Chen''s prowess before, the fierce atmosphere of this tribtion seemed unparalleled. "It''s much more ferocious than thest one," she murmured.


    Zhan Chen, however didn''t have any hint of worry on his face, his expression unchanging and calm. To him, the roaring cloud didn''t represent danger. It was only another test which he needed to pass to be more powerful.


    "Rumble", the first lightning bolt shot down, its power threatening to decimate everything in its path. The forest echoed with its power, the ground trembling. But Zhan Chen merely raised his sword and with a half moon like sh, he cut apart the lightning. The lightning dispersed, leaving behind purest essence energy of the heaven and earth.


    Another lightning bolt followed soon after, at least twice more powerful than thest. Shui Liying''s heart was in her throat as she watched the scene nervously. "Wind chaser sword", Zhan Chen swung his sword in a wide arc andunched arge sh towards the descending lightning bolt.


    His attack managed to intercelt the lightning bolt just before it was six feet away from his head. There was no collision in the air as his attack cut apart the fierce looking lightning bolt in two. Thick amounts of essence energy came out from the broken lightning bolt as it started to disperse in the air.


    The Yinyang divine diagram on his dantian roared into action as it absorbed all the heaven and earth energy in the surrounding. Zhan Chen didn''t have to do anything as he prepared himself for the next and final thunder bolt.


    Lightning cackled in the sky as the tribtion cloud grew in strength. This time the tribtion bolt didn''t descend quickly as it took it''s sweet time to gather strength. Zhan Chen waspletely calm yet alert. He operated the Celestial yinyang Sutra and circted essence energy all over his body.


    At the first sign of the descending thunderbolt, heunched an attack towards the sky. "Heaven subduing sh", he muttered as heunched a very powerful and iparably fast attack towards the descending lightning bolt.


    This time the thundbolt was not cut in half like he had expected rather there was a booming sound in the environment as both the attack collided. The tribtion cloud started to disperse after he dealt with the final thunderbolt. His forehead became slightly sweaty as he countered the third and most powerful thunderbolt. "Even my sixth tribtion in my past life was not that powerful", he thought to himself.


    He kept his sword aside and began to cultivate. The Yinyang divine diagram on his dantian was absorbing the purest essence energy of the heaven and earth greedily as it provided Zhan Chen''s body with a continuous stream of pure energy.


    Shui Liying, watching the scene unfold, patted her chest tofort herself. Untill now, her heart waspletely tense as she was being worried about Zhan Chen.


    She had full trust on Zhan Chen but her trust started to waver after she saw how powerful the tribtion was. But Zhan Chen''s calm and strengthpletely astounded her. No one could beleive a second stage tribtion realm cultivator had such strength unless they witnessed it themselves.


    She took a look at Zhan Chen''s serene face as he sat piecefully on his ce. The forest startedto regain its calm after the tribtion cloud dispersed. Birds began to chirp again, and the animals emerged from their hiding spots. A small smiile appeared on her face as she waited for Zhan Chen to finish his cultivation.


    Zhan Chen''s energy sea was already filled to brim with essence energy drops. It expanded further after Zhan Chen passed through his third tribtion. There were two essence energy whirlpools before he passed through the tribtion. Now, the third whirlpool appeared above his essence energy sea which enhanced essence energy intake capability. He was now a bonafine third stage Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator now.


    Compared to Martial ascension realm, his cultivation progress was more quick in the Heavenly tribtion realm. The reason was the mystery hidden in his body. Both the secret diagram hidden in his soul and the divine yinyang diagram on his dantian were assisting him in his cultivation. If it was any other cultivator, they would have wasted more than half of the pure energy of the heaven and earth. It ured because no other cultivator had an effective method to absorb the purest energy of the heaven and earth which was released after the tribtion bolt dispersed into the surrounding. In Zhan Chen''s case, he had the assistance of the divine yinyang diagram which helped him in absorbing all the dispersed energy from the surrounding.


    Compared to others, he had ess to multiple times of heaven and earth energy when he broke through to a new stage of the Heavenly tribtion realm. It made his cultivation easier as he filled earth.


    He enjoyed this advantage in this breakthrough as well. He his essence energy sea with the purest energy of the heaven and earth.


    He enjoyed this advantage in this breakthrough as well. He continued to operate the Celestial yinyang Sutra as the divine yinyang diagram supplied his body with purest energy of the heaven and earth. His newly expanded essence energy sea started to get filled again.


    Zhan Chen continued to cultivate and he stopped only after absorbingst drop of essence energy from the divine diagram. His newly expanded essence energy sea was already filled more than half by the time he stopped cultivating.


    He opened his eyes. There was a small smile on his face as he broke through to the third stage of the Heavenly tribtion realm.


    "Husband," Shui Liying called out. Zhan Chen''s smile widened as he looked towards the elegant woman by his side.


    "Husband, you are incredible", Shui Liying appeared next to Zhan Chen and softly muttered. There was a look of admiration on her beautiful face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen chuckled, "Yes, I am incredible. I admit that. But the reason is not my cultivation. It is only because I get an incredible woman like you by my side".


    Shui Liying smiled sweetly after hearing Zhan Chen''s response. A warm feeling bubbled in her heart as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Come closer", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her into his arms when she got near him. He cupped her beautiful face and initiated a kiss. Her soft lips were like the softlest thing in the world as he nibbled on them greedily.


    "Husband, shall we return to the Jade harmony city?", Shui Liying softly asked after they finished the kiss. There was a lovely red on her cheeks now as she got kissed by Zhan Chen.


    "I think this forest is better. I want to spend sometime with you in this forest alone", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "It is slightly embarassing but I can manage", Shui Liying replied with a shy expression. Inwardly, a thought came to her mind which didn''t reach to Zhan Chen''s ear. ''It is too embarassing to do such things in a forest. But whatelse I can do? I can''t disagree with husband because I don''t want to see him disappointed '', she thought to herself.

 Chapter 449 A challenge

    Chapter 449 A challenge


    "Follow me", Zhan Chen spoke. He flew towards a ce where he detected a huge rockrge enough to aodate two persons.


    "How about this rock? Is not it good enough?", Zhan Chen asked. What else Shui Liying could say. She could only nod her face in embarassment.


    Zhan Chen pulled her closer and started to nibble on her lips once again. Shui Liying also participated passively as their kisssted for more than five minutes.


    "Husband, let me take off your clothes", Shui Liying spoke with a blush on her face. Zhan Chen had no reason to refuse. So, he epted Shui Liying''s advance. Shui Liying proceeded to remove his long robe and she finally pulled off his pant. Her gaze immediately went towards the little devil hiding inside Zhan Chen''s pant.


    ''Husband is so big already'' she thought to herself as she felt a stirring in her lower body. She stretched her hand and started to stroke Zhan Chen''s dragon gently.


    "Let me prepare a bed for us", Zhan Chen spoke. He shed with his hand and a sword ray shed off the uneven surface of the boulder.


    Zhan Chen swung his hand few times more as apletely polished rock bed appear infront of Shui Liying.


    "Husband, you are really talented", Shui Liying praised as she continued to stroke Zhan Chen''s dragon. The desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes ired up more as he heard her words. He took a look at the goddess like beauty and pressed his lips on her sulent lips once again.


    Shui Liying replied passionately as they shared a long kiss between them. "Liying, take off your clothes", Zhan Chen spoke. His eyes were full of desire as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying nodded her head and removed her clothes one by one. Her enchanting figure slowly unraveled infront of Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Liying, you are really beautiful", Zhan Chen praised. He took some time to appreciate her picture perfect beauty with his eyes.


    "Husband, I am d that you like me", Shui Liying spoke softly. Red blush on her beautiful cheeks appeared very enchanting.


    "Lie down. I can''t control myself anymore", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying took a look at the little dragon before climbing on the rock.


    Zhan Chen parted apart her legs after she lie down. Her beautiful pinkish flower appeared in full glory after some space appeared between her thighs. A drop of water slid down from her cave after Zhan Chen stared at her like this. Her face waspletely flushed as she waited for the uing storm with anticipation in her heart.


    "Liying, you are already so wet! But it is a good thing for me. We can start right away", Zhan Chen murmured. He held his dragon with his hand and started to rub it on her beautiful entrance.


    "Ahhhn~", a sweet moan escaped Shui Liying''s mouth when he plunged his dragon on her sacred cave.


    "Husband, can I hug you?", Shui Liying asked. Zhan Chen nodded his head and lied on top of her body. He started to move his waist as well as Shui Liying wrapped her hands around his back.


    Ahhhh~


    Ahhhhh~


    Ahhhhhm~


    Shui Liying continued to moan as Zhan Chen pounded her passionately. She didn''t know when she released her hand from Zhan Chen''s back as her mind got clouded by the pleasure she was receiving.


    Zhan Chen felt she was reaching her limit after fifteen minutes of pounding. He gave her a deep thrust and a huge amount of yin water gushed out from Shui Liying''s sacred cave.


    "Husband, lie down. Let me take care of you", Shui Liying spoke. She started to stroke his dragon after Zhan Chen lie down. After stroking for a while with her hand, she began to use her mouth. It was a blissful experience for Zhan Chen as he enjoyed her care and love.


    Shui Liying was not inpatient at all as she used her mouth for almost half an hour. Zhan Chen didn''t keep tab on the passage of time as he felt he had reached his limit. He pulled in Shui Liying''s head closer and burst inside her mouth. A huge amount of yang essence came out from his dragon as he felt very rxed.


    "Gulp", Shui Liying''s throat moved a little as she swallowed all of his yang essence. She struck her pink tongue out and licked Zhan Chen''s dragon clean. "Husband, we should stop here. There would be suspicion if we remain absent from the Jade harmony city for a longer period", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Liying, one more time please. We can leave after another hour or two", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, please don''t be impulsive. We can continue after reaching the Jade harmony city", Shui Liying softly spoke. All along her hand was on Zhan Chen''s dragon as she continued to stroke the little beast gently.


    "Fine, we will continue after reaching the Jade harmony city. Don''t me me for punishing you for disobedience", Zhan Chen spoke with with a glint in his eyes. It was aggravating for him as Shui Liying left him hanging like this.


    "Husband, don''t worry. I will tend to you after we reach the Jade harmony city. For now, please show some restraint", Shui Liying spoke. She collected Zhan Chen''s pant and robe and brought them to Zhan Chen. After that she picked up her clothes and started to dress herself.


    Rest of their journey was uneventful but Zhan Chen was enjoying himself because Shui Liying was stroking his dragon with her hand while they were riding her flying boat.


    "Liying, use your mouth. I can''t take it anymore", Zhan Chen spoke with gritted teeth. His dragon was bulging by the time he released it from his pant.


    "Husband, you are so impatient. How can I tend to you properly when we are in the flying boat?", Shui Liyingined. She was slightly amused as well after seeing the frustrated expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Liying, don''t tease me anymore. I am telling the truth", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, let''s take the flying boat higher. In that way, no one can notice us", Shui Liying spoke.


    She controlled the flying boat to fly higher while her hand was stillforting Zhan Chen''s dragon. She started to use her mouth after taking the flying boat sufficiently high.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist slowly as the urge to release his yang essence got higher. Shui Liying cooperated with him as she moved her mouth in tandem. Her tongue was encircling Zhan Chen''s dragon time to time which greatly enhanced Zhan Chen''s pleasure. He finally reached his limit as he gave a deep thrust to Shui Liying''s mouth.


    Her throat was painted whitepletely as Zhan Chen released his yang essence inside her throat. Shui Liying gracefully licked his dragon before taking the flying boat downward. Zhan Chen brought her hand hand close to his dragon and made her stroke it like before. His enjoyment continued untill they reached the periphery of the Jade harmony city.


    "Husband, we need to go separately. I will be waiting in my room", she spoke before leaving Zhan Chen outside the Jade harmony city.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon protested loudly as it was very fond of Shui Liying''s touch. Zhan Chen was eager to continue his blissful day. So, he dashed towards the Jade harmony city quickly. He didn''t forget to use the Myriad transformation technique as his facial structure changed before he reached the city gate.


    "Have you heard? Lu Wentian hase out from the seclusion. As soon as he reach the Jade harmony city, he has issued a life and death challenge to Zhan Chen."


    "Zhan Chen? Never heard about him. Why a man like Lu Wentian is looking for him?"


    Zhan Chen heard a conversation as soon as he reached the city gate. It was group of Core condensation realm cultivators who were talking among themselves.


    If it was any normal time, he would have heard the conversation in details. But now, he didn''t have such thoughts. He only had one thing in mind. That was enchanting and graceful figure of Shui Liying.


    ''Lu Wentian from Heavenly sword sect, I don''t care. Anyone under the Emperor realm was just like a crab and shrimp to me. It doesn''t matter even if a crab keeps a grudge against me. I just need to crush it properly before it bites me'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He walked towards the imperial Xie family guards who were guarding the city gate. All the cultivators who wanted to enter the city gate need to show their identification token. Zhan Chen was aware about it. So, he walked towards the leader of the city guards.


    He didn''t have a token in his hand as he had yet to receive his identification token. So, he chose to directly manipte the city guard''s leader to get ess to the city.

 Chapter 450 Casualty

    450 Casualty


    Zhan Chen shifted his facial structure back to normal after he reached closer to the Xuantian sect''s base. He met a gathering of the elders in the ground floor when he was nning to look for Shui Liying.


    "Zhan Chen, wait. Sect master is looking for you", Ying Chao called out to him.


    An idea popped up in Zhan Chen''s mind after he heard Ying Chao''s words. "Greetings elders. I am really in a hurry at the moment. I have something urgent to discuss with senior Liying. Please tell elder sister Yue to wait or see me in senior Liying ''s room", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t bother to hear the response of the elders as he climbed to the first floor where Shui Liying was staying.


    "This brat! Has he not heard about Lu Wentian''s challenge?", an elder muttered.


    "Probably not. Let''s inform sect master about his return. We must stop him from epting Lu Wentian''s challenge", Ying Chao spoke. Other elders nodded their heads as they waited for Deng Yue''s return.


    Shui Liying opened the door of her room before Zhan Chen could knock. She had already sensed his presence as soon as he entered the Xuantian sect''s base.


    "Husband, why don''t you wait a little for Deng Yue''s return. We really need to discuss this matter because it is rted to your safety", Shui Liying spoke after Zhan Chen entered inside.


    "Liying, sect elders don''t know about my cultivation but you are already aware. Do you think, there is a chance for Lu Wentian to defeat me?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "If it is any ordinary challenge, I wouldn''t have felt worried but this Lu Wentian is set on taking revenge from you. I have listened to the conversation between the elders and found out that you have killed his younger brother. In such a case, I am worried that the Heavenly sword sect will pull out some dirty tricks on you", Shui Liying replied. There was concern written all over her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t worry. No trick can kill me in such a duel. I can be caught off-guard if they use their emperors and sages. But such a scenario probably will not ure because the diel will take ce inside the Jade Harmony city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will apany you to the battle arena", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Of course, who else can protect me better than my lovely Liying", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying''s face became slightly reddened after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She was still worried about Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen''s action made her blush.


    Zhan Chen didn''t want to wait anymore as he started to remove his clothes. "Liying, let''s start where we have left. I have yet to punish you for your disobedience in the forest", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Shui Liying felt a stirring in between her thighs as she saw the eager expression on Zhan Chen''s face. A sense of anticipation rose in her heart as she looked towards Zhan Chen. "Husband, how are you nning to punish me?", she asked softly.


    She was not a woman with whom Zhan Chen could get rough. She had a very gentle demeanor which discouraged Zhan Chen from doing anything inappropriate with her. But now he had a chance.


    "Although I can''t go too far with her. I want her to remain the goddess as she is. To get rough, I can always approach Xie Lanying. I am sure, that vixen will aodate whatever I need. It will not feel inappropriate no matter what I do with her", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He decided to keep the thoughts about Xie Lanying in the back of his mind as there was a goddess standing before him who needed to be taken care of.


    "Liying, you are not allowed to disobey me today", Zhan Chen spoke with a serious expression on his face.


    "Okay", Shui Liying nodded her head softly. Her anticipation rose greatly as Zhan Chen walked towards her.


    Zhan Chen cupped her face with both of his hands and nted a passionate kiss on her lips. Then he made her kneel and presented his dragon infront of her face.


    "You know, what to do right?", Zhan Chen looked towards Shui Liying. Shui Liyining nodded her head and brought her mouth closer to Zhan Chen''s dragon. She licked the tip of his dragon with her tongue first before taking in the dragon inside her mouth.


    "Slurp, slurp", she started to move her head forth and back as a look of enjoyment appeared on Zhan Chen''s face. She waspletely patient as she used her mouth to please Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen stopped her after she used her mouth for half an hour. He couldn''t beleive how patient she was to make him feel good. There was only care and unconditional love in her heart as she took care of him.


    ''Forget about punishment. I can''t even use a harsh word to you'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. His heart almost melted as he saw the caring expression in her eyes.


    "Husband, what else you want me to do? You can ask me anything as a punishment", she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Although tending to your need don''t feel like punishment. It is only natural that I will do this for you to make you feel good", Shui Liying muttered. She wrapped her hand around Zhan Chen''s dragon and started to stroke it as she waited for Zhan Chen''s response.


    "Liying, you are really good to me. Even I am confused what assignment should I give you as a punishment", Zhan Chen spoke. The words were really from his heart as he was really moved by Shui Liying''s care and love.


    "Husband, how about you lie down? Let me do all the work myself. I will be happy as long as you arefortable and enjoying ", Shui Liying spoke. She kept stroking Zhan Chen''s dragon while having a conversation with him.


    "Okay. I really enjoy it when my Liying take such good care of me", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her up and shared another passionate kiss with Shui Liying.


    ------------------


    "Sect master, you are back", the elders greeted Deng Yue after she returned to the Xuantian sect''s base.


    "The situation in the frontline is not promising at all. They have made some concession to our sect because of our earlier loss. But now due to the situation, they can''t give us anymore leeway", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Sect master, what happened? Have we suffer loses while confronting devils?", Ying Chao asked.


    "We have lost three tribtion realm, fourteen Martial ascension realm cultivators in these days. Now tell me whether it is a great lose or not?", Deng Yue spoke.


    A grave expression appeared on all the elders'' faces after they heard Deng Yue''s words. The number of cultivators that Sky dragon alliance had lost may not look high but it was rming when you considered the short time span of two days. In just two days, devil forces had managed to kill three tribtion realm and fourteen Martial ascension realm cultivators of the Sky dragon alliance.


    "While devils areing from multiple worlds, our forces are gathered from only a continent. We are confronting the forces of few worlds with the forces of a single continent. Their numerical advantage is already very superior to us. In such a scenario if we lose our cultivators in such a rate, we may face defeat within a month", Ying Chao spoke with a grim expression on his face.


    "That is the most conservative estimation. If the devil forces who are fighting separately get united, we may face defeat at a faster pace", Deng Yue added.


    "Sect master, is their any countermeasures proposed in your meeting?", a bald elder asked.


    "Yes, the spirit pce and the imperial Xie family has promised to send their reserve forces to the frontline. Moreover, they are contacting our surrounding worlds to assist us.


    Likewise, other major forces have to send in more men to the frontline. We have to summon one more emperor and five more tribtion realm experts from our sect", Deng Yue replied.


    "Most of you have to go to the frontline as well. They are unwilling to provide our sect cultivators anymore rest", she further added.


    "Sect master, we have threemanders under you. Twomanders are already fighting in the frontline. As for thestmander, we have yet to select", Ying Chao spoke.


    "You can''t go. I need you here in the Jade harmony city. Therefore, we need to select another candidate. We still have time untill tomorrow. Let me think about it", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Has Zhan Chen returned?", she was about to leave towards her room when she recalled the matter concerning Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, he has gone to senior Liying ''s room after getting back", Ying Chao informed.


    "Okay, I will see him there. I need to inform martial aunt Liying as well. I need to talk to her about what transpired in today''s meeting", Deng Yue spoke. She flew towards the first floor after finishing her conversation with the gathered elders.

 Chapter 451 Never-ending urge

    Chapter 451 Never-ending urge


    "Thap! Thap! Thap!", Zhan Chen felt he was sinking into the sea of pleasure as Shui Liying moved her waist. Her body movement was rhythmic as she rode Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her beautiful mountains jiggled in the air as she moved her body up and down.


    "Mmm~Husband, just rx yourself. I will try my best to make you feel good", Shui Liying murmured. Her face waspletely red as she rode Zhan Chen''s dragon passionately.


    "Little girl Yue!", she suddenly detected the presence of Deng Yue when she flew upward to the first floor. Shui Liying slowed down her body movement as she shifted her attention to Deng Yue.


    "Liying, can you do me a favour?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Husband, what is it?", Shui Liying asked.


    "Retract your soul consciousness. Don''t react even if elder sister Yue peeked on us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "How embarassing? What will she think if she sees us like this?", Shui Liying spoke with a blush on her face. She couldn''t even imagine what would happen if Deng Yue sees her in such an embarassing position.


    "Liying, it is not a big deal. You are also peeking at us when I am cultivating with Zi Ningxi", Zhan Chen teased her.


    "Husband, you are not allowed to say that. She is my disciple. I shouldn''t have peeked at that day but I couldn''t stop myself", Shui Liying spoke with an embarassed voice. Her blushing face with her embarassed expression felt very charming to Zhan Chen.


    "Husband, are you nning to take little girl Yue as well?", Shui Liying looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, she has her own charm. Since I need women for dual cultivation, I don''t want to skip her", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Okay, I understand. She is not a bad choice", Shui Liying spoke. She retracted her soul consciousness but continued to ride Zhan Chen''s dragon. She knew Deng Yue may peek at them if she retract her soul consciousness. But she still chose to help out Zhan Chen despite being in such an embarassing situation.


    "What is martial aunt doing? I could feel her soul consciousness just a moment ago", Deng Yue murmured to herself after reaching the first floor.


    She was eager to talk with Shui Liying and Zhan Chen. So, she walked towards Shui Liying''s room. As an emperor, her senses were sharp. She easily heard a certain sounding from Shui Liying''s room.


    "Thap! Thap! Thap", the rhythmic sound was faint but it couldn''t escape her ears. Moreover, there was also Shui Liying''s faint moans intermixing with the sound.


    "What is going on here?", Deng Yue''s face became crimson without any reason. She was nning to knock but she stopped herself from doing any impulsive action. Rather, she chose to focus on the sound as her mind wondered about different possibilities.


    "Little brother Chen is also there. Shall I check?", she thought to herself. Her curiousity finally win over her reason as she chose to take a look using her soul consciousness.


    Zhan Chen had an enjoying expression on his face as he looked towards the beautiful profile of Shui Liying. Shui Liying moved her body up and down as she rode his mighty dragon.


    Deng Yue felt like something exploded in her mind as she looked towards the scene with disbelief in her eyes. Her martial aunt who was revered as an unattainable goddess in the Xuantian sect, was busy in doing such an indecent act with Zhan Chen.


    "How can this be?", she murmured to herself with disbelief in her eyes. Her eyes finally fell upon the mighty dragon which Shui Liying was riding at the moment.


    Zhan Chen had already used soul seed technique on her. The technique gradually made a woman fell for Zhan Chen but if a woman faced a situation like Deng Yue, she would be immediately triggered.


    The Soul seed technique could only fell if the said woman had deep hatred towards Zhan Chen. But if she had a favourable impression of Zhan Chen in her heart, there was no escape.


    Even a mighty emperot like Deng Yue was no exception. She recalled Zhan Chen''s words in the Oakridge town and a tingling sensation washed over her body.


    ''What should I do?'', she thought to herself. In her entire life, she had never felt so conflicted before. She wanted to leave because watching such a matter between two person was inappropriate but she couldn''t extricate herself from looking at Zhan Chen.


    "I will leave after a while", she thought to herself. Unknowingly, her hand went towards her thighs as she started to rub on her little sister.


    Shui Liying could sense Deng Yue''s presence but she was in no position to stop herself anymore. Her mind was already clouded by the pleasure she was feeling. She continuously moved her waist and finally reached her peak. A stream of yin water came out from her cave as her body twitched.


    Zhan Chen also felt an urge to release himself. His dragon was already enough pampered. So, he decided to gift his yang essence to Shui Liying.


    "Liying, use your mouth", she spoke to Shui Liying. Shui Liying becamepletely red after hearing his words but she didn''t refute him. She pulled up her buttocks from Zhan Chen''s dragon and knelt down beside his thighs.


    Deng Yue felt something triggered her body after she witnessed theplete appearance of Zhan Chen''s dragon. An itchiness came from the lower part of her body as she started to rub her thighs against eachother.


    The next scene was shocker for her. Because the unattainable goddess, Shui Liying brought her mouth closer to Zhan Chen''s dragon. To her surprise, she took in Zhan Chen''s dragon inside her mouth and started to move her head up and down.


    "Liying, I am releasing my yang essence", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled Shui Liying''s head closer to his dragon and finally bursted inside her mouth.


    Shui Liying''s throat moved a little as she swallowed Zhan Chen''s essence. Then she released Zhan Chen''s dragon from the grip of her mouth and clenched it with her hand. She started to stroke the dragon slowly as few drops of whitish essence surged out from Zhan Chen''s dragon. She brought her mouth closer to Zhan Chen''s dragon again and licked clean Zhan Chen''s dragon with her pinkish tongue.


    "Ah! It is too much", Deng Yue shouted out. Her face waspletely red as she escaped from Shui Liying''s room. Her personal room was also in the first floor. She immediately entered her room as her heart raced.


    "What should I do? This feeling is not going", Deng Yue murmured to herself. The itchinessing from her lower body part was something, she had never felt in her entire life.


    She knew what it meant to please herself but that feeling was not this urgent. Since learning such things, she would do such things once in a while to rx her body and enjoy herself. But today''s feeling was something out of her expectation. This feeling was driving her mad and urging her to think about a certain person.


    ''Little brother, your charm is really great. I don''t know what to do anymore. I thought it is impossible between us but you are confident at that day. Your charming technique is really working on me'', Deng Yue thought to herself as she rubbed her fingers on her little sister. Her mind was already in the wondend as she imagined Zhan Chen with her.


    "Liying, thank you for your help. Without you, I don''t know how many days it would have taken", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, are you nning to stay here or visit little girl Yue?'', Shui Liying asked gently. Her hand was around Zhan Chen''s dragon as she stroked it gently.


    "Liying, use your mouth again. It is hard to deny your hospitality", Zhan Chen spoke.A pleased moan escaped his mouth as Shui Liying began her gentle care.


    "This feeling, why is not it going?", Deng Yue murmured after rubbing her little sister for half an hour. She could generally take care of herself within half an hour but this time, the thirst of her body didn''t seem to be satiated. Her urge was only increasing as the thoughts about Zhan Chen in her mind, multiplied.

 Chapter 452 Be my woman

    Chapter 452 Be my woman


    "Slurp! Slurp", Shui Liying moved her mouth up and down as Zhan Chen closed his eyes in ecstacy. Shui Liying waspletely dilligent in taking care of his dragon. Her care and gentlenesspletely own him over.


    "Liying, I don''t want to leave at the moment but we should take a look at elder sister Yue. I don''t know what is going on with her after she sees us like this", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, you can visit me at any moment. Just make things clear to little girl Yue. If she busied herself in such matters, many important matter of our Xuantian sect will remain pending", Shui Liying replied after releasing Zhan Chen''s dragon from her mouth. There was no trace of jealousy or unwillingness in her eyes as she talked about Deng Yue.


    Zhan Chen sat up after hearing Shui Liying''s words. He pulled Shui Liying closer and embraced her. "Liying, I am really lucky to have you by my side. If I was not cultivating Celestial yinyang Sutra, I my not consider any other woman after having you by my side", Zhan Chen spoke. These words came from his heart as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    A smile crept onto Shui Liying''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. "Husband, I am already lucky to have you. I don''t have any wish to restrain you or limit you. Infact, I will be more happy, the greedier you get. Because more woman meant, your cultivation is more higher. You can protect yourself better. All I want from you is climb higher in cultivation path and stay happy", Shui Liying spoke gently. Her love for Zhan Chen was unconditional and selfless as she spoke her mind to Zhan Chen.


    A little emotion appeared in Zhan Chen''s eyes as he looked towards the graceful goddess in his embrace. He controlled his disturbed heart and a smile appeared on his face. "Liying, don''t go anywhere. I want you to take care of me after I return from visiting elder sister Yue", he spoke to Shui Liying.


    "I will be waiting", Shui Liying spoke gently. Zhan Chen pressed his lips against hers and both of them shared a passionate kiss between them.


    Deng Yue was vigorously ying with herself when Zhan Chen visited her room. Her eyes were misty and face was red as she rubbed her fingers on top of her little sister. The bedding under her buttocks werepletely wet yet Deng Yue didn''t show any sign of slowing down. She was vigorously rubbing her little sister as she imagined herself with Zhan Chen in her wondend.


    "Knock! knock!", knocking sound came from the door and she finally came to her sense. She spread her soul consciousness and found Zhan Chen standing outside the door.


    "Little brother Chen! Why is he here? Has he finished what he was doing with martial aunt?", Deng Yue thought to herself with blushing cheeks. She was slightly hesitant as she pulled over her robe and walked towards the door.


    "Little brother", she greeted Zhan Chen while trying her best to appear normal.


    "Elder sister, can Ie inside?", Zhan Chen asked.


    Deng Yue wanted to deny but she could only nod her head after looking at Zhan Chen. She became dazed for a moment as she saw the bright smile on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Little brother, please wait a moment. Let me organise my room first", Deng Yue spoke. She quickly escaped into her room and started to collect her inner garments which were lying all over the ce.


    She used her essence energy and cleaned all traces of her yin essence from the bed. She took a deep breath and finally called Zhan Chen inside. "Little brother, you cane now", she sent a mental message.


    "Creak!", Zhan Chen pushed open the closed door and strode inside. Demg Yue pointed towards a stone chair and asked him to sit. She herself sat on her bed and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little brother, what is the matter?", she asked.


    "Elder sister, I am thinking about the charm technique that I have tried on you in the Oak ridge town. I want to know whether it take effect or not", Zhan Chen spoke. He maintained a straight face even after speaking about such shameless things infront of Deng Yue.


    Deng Yue''s beautiful cheeks got reddened after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. The tinglinging from her lower body part became intensified as she looked at the handsome profile of Zhan Chen.


    Little brother, why do you want to know this?", she tried to control herself and asked back to Zhan Chen.


    "Because I like you, elder sister. You are so beautiful. It will be best if I can have you as my woman", Zhan Chen replied.


    Deng Yue felt she couldn''t control herself anymore as something triggered her mind and body. Zhan Chen was looking at her with a smile and she felt, she would lose control if she looked at him anymore. She tried to look away but Zhan Chen suddenly walked towards her.


    There was burning desire in his eyes as he walked closer to her step by step. "Ahh~", Deng Yue suddenly let out a faint moan. Her eyes became misty as she released a stream of yin water from her cave.


    "I can''t believe this", she muttered in disbelief. Her cheeks werepletely red as she was unsure of what to do. She couldn''t believe that she did such a shameful thing infront of Zhan Chen.


    "I think, I have received my answer", suddenly she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Zhan Chen was standing very close to her bed as his eyes werepletely focused on her face.


    "Elder sister, do you like me?", Zhan Chen raised her chin with his hand and looked into her eyes.


    Deng Yue felt she was falling into a quagmire when she matched her eyes with Zhan Chen. She couldn''t make eye contact for more than few seconds. Her heart started to beat faster as she looked away shyly.


    "Elder sister, let us be frank. If you like me, please say so. You already know my answer. I have decided to have you by my side when I first saw you in the Oak ridge town", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Deng Yue decided to calm down a little. She looked at Zhan Chen who was looking at her with desire.


    "Little brother, how many woman do you have?", she asked after controlling her chaotic emotion. She wanted to see whether Zhan Chen was truthful to her or deceiving her.


    "Elder sister, I don''t know the limit of my desire. This, I really can''t count how many I have by my side at the moment. If you want, I can introduce you to them", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "No need. I am willing to be your woman though I have one condition", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Elder sister, please speak", Zhan Chen asked.


    "You are not allowed to expose our rtionship untill you be an emperor. Moreover, I want to know martial aunt Liying''s opinion before agreeing with you", Deng Yue spoke.


    "It is easy. I will dly agree to you conditions. Though there is no need for you to look for Liying. I have already informed her before visiting you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "It is reassuring. I don''t want to strain my rtionship with martial aunt because of our matter", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Elder sister, since I have already epted your demands, we can begin, right?", Zhan Chen asked. Deng Yue gathered her courage and nodded her head. She was always a brave and fierce girl. So, she decided not to restrain herself any longer infront of Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 453 With diligence, one can learn anything

    Chapter 453 With diligence, one can learn anything


    "Elder sister, please remove your clothes. I want to see how tempting you are underneath", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Deng Yue recalled she was not wearing anything under her robe and her face reddened. "Remove your clothes first", She tried to save herself from some embarassment and asked Zhan Chen to strip first.


    Zhan Chen had no issue with her request. So, he took down his robe and pant. His lean body and the massive dragon rising from his lower body immediately attracted Deng Yue''s attraction.


    "Elder sister, it is your turn", Zhan Chen reminded her.


    "I know", she replied with a blush. She removed her robe and her enchanting body appeared in full glory infront of Zhan Chen.


    She was beautiful to begin with. Her assets were neither big nor small. All of her body curves were perfectly ced. Combined with her tall body and slim waist, she was looking like a bewitching goddess.


    "Elder sister, you are really beautiful", Zhan Chen praised. Deng Yue could see his dragon was twitching in anticipation and she felt pleased for a strange reason.


    Zhan Chen walked closer to her and pulled her from the bed. She was slightly taller than him. So, he had to tiptoe a little to ess her lips.


    Her lips felt very soft and sulent. Zhan Chen nibbled on her red lips while embracing her with his hand.


    Deng Yue was passive at first but she gradually began to take cue from Zhan Chen''s acts. She leaned slightly and tried to nibble on Zhan Chen''s lips like Zhan Chen was doing to hers. Zhan Chen was surprised after seeing how proactive she was. He guided her gently as both of them continued their passionate kiss.


    Zhan Chen took this opportunity to explore her back with his hand. Her skin felt very soft yet warm. Zhan Chen ran his hand across her back before finding two soft globes of flesh.


    Deng Yue stood stunned for a moment when Zhan Chen grabbed her buttocks. It felt very pleasurable to her as Zhan Chen knedded her globes of flesh. Warm current ran across her body as she felt a stirring in her little sister. A drop of water escaped her cave as Zhan Chen continued to grope her buttocks.


    "Elder sister, you are really sensitive here", Zhan Chen whispered. He could immediately ascertain that her buttocks were her weak point.


    "Mmm~", a faint moan escaped her mouth when Zhan Chen groped her buttocks with a little force. Few more drops of water escaped her cave as she feltpletely aroused.


    "Little brother, please don''t tease me any more. I can''t bear it", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a pleading tone. His touch felt very pleasurable yet torturous for her. With his every touch, the stirring in her little sister intensified. So, all she wanted him to do now was to calm the stirring in her little sister.


    "As elder sistermands", Zhan Chen replied. Deng Yue felt slightly relieved after Zhan Chen let go of her buttocks.


    "Little brother, can we begin?", she asked Zhan Chen with an expectant tone. She was not at all reserved in expressing her desire as she gave an open invitation to Zhan Chen.


    "Sure. Please lie down on your bed", Zhan Chen spoke. He climbed the bed along with Deng Yue as he guided her to raise her leg.


    ''It is really embarassing'', Deng Yue thought to herself as she exposed her little sister to Zhan Chen''s eyes. She watched as Zhan Chen knelt down and brought his mighty dragon closer to her little sister.


    "Nnnn~", a moan escaped her mouth as Zhan Chen started to rub his dragon on top of her cave. His dragon felt scorching hot. It was a very pleasurable sensation for her as she closed her eyes in enjoyment.


    "Elder sister, I am going in", Zhan Chen''s whisper forced her to open her eyes. A little bit of nervousness and anticipation rose in her heart as she nodded her head.


    "Ahhh~", Zhan Chen gave a small push and his dragon made its way into her cave. Her cave felt very soft yet tight. Zhan Chen started to move his waist and Deng Yue began to moan softly.


    "Elder sister, please bear with me. It will be slightly painful", Zhan Chen warned. He gave few more small thrusts before giving a deep push inside Deng Yue''s cave.


    "Ah~", Deng Yue cried out in pain. Red blood came out from her fully bloomed flower as it painted Zhan Chen''s white dragonpletely red. Her eyes misted up as she gritted her teeth to bear the pain.


    "Don''t worry. The pain will go away very quickly", Zhan Chen spoke. He poked some of the nerves around her little sister and Deng Yue finally felt rxed after a while.


    "It is alright now", she nodded her head towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen started to move his waist as she continued to moan sweetly.


    Waves after waves of pleasure flooded her mind and she didn''t know when she drowned herself in the sea of pleasure. She finally couldn''t control herself as arge amount of yin water came out from her sacred cave.


    "Elder sister, how is it? How is your experience?", Zhan Chen asked. His dragon was still inside her cave as it enjoyed the moistness of her cave.


    Deng Yue opened her beautiful eyes and looked towards Zhan Chen. There were passion and gentleness in her eyes as she lied beneath Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Still calling me elder sister?", she asked softly.


    "What should I call you then?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Call me by my name when we are in private", Deng Yue spoke. She looked towards Zhan Chen with passion and gentleness which stirred Zhan Chen''s heart.


    He leaned forward and pressed his lips on her lips. Deng Yue cooperated proactively as both of them shared a passionate kiss.


    "Zhan Chen, why don''t you lie down? I know a technique which we can try", Deng Yue spoke. Zhan Chen''s passionate activity with Shui Liying was still afresh in her mind. So, she wanted to experience the same with Zhan Chen.


    "Sure, let me see what technique you know", Zhan Chen smiled. He could tell what she was nning to do but he didn''t expose her. If she was notfortable about talking about her peeking activity, he wouldn''t force her.


    Deng Yue climbed on Zhan Chen''s body after Zhan Chen lie down. She gathered her courage and sat on Zhan Chen''s mighty dragon.


    "It is so deep", she muttered in surprise. She moved her waist a little and looked at Zhan Chen to check his reaction.


    "Good, please continue", Zhan Chen encouraged her. Deng Yue was still inexperienced but she was eager to replicate what her martial aunt was doing with Zhan Chen. She tried to move her waist rhythmically despite the body numbing pleasure she was feeling at the moment.

 Chapter 454 Search for the little princess

    Chapter 454 Search for the little princess


    An ancient pce stood proudly atop an enormous mountain, casting a shadow far and wide. Its architecture appeared grand and majestic. The pce was sorge that it seemed impossible for humans to build such a structure.


    A coiling dragon, carved to perfection, perched on the rooftop. Each of its scales was intricately chiseled, showcasing craftsmanship of the highest level. Those who climbed the pce steps would feel nervous as the dragon''s lifelike eyes, imbued with a hint of spirituality, seemed to re down at them. It''s gaze was exactly on the staircase which stretched to the base of the mountain.


    In a dimly lit corridor inside the grand pce, two burly guards were talking among themselves. They had human like appearance but the two shining horns on their foreheads proved their identity as non-human creatures. They appeared somewhat nervous as they kept ncing at arge ornate door behind them.


    "It has been seven days already. Princess should havee out by now," the taller guard murmured, ncing at the closed door behind them.


    Hispanion nodded in agreement, "Yes, she should have. She has never cultivated for more than two days before."


    The first guard leaned closer, "Do you think she could have... ran away?", there was nervousness written all over his face.


    "We''ve been here the whole time! And with all the restrictions, how could she?", the second guard responded, a hint of panic visible on his face.


    "Guarding her is always a pain for us guards. Remember the previous incidents? With her mischievous nature, anything is possible," the first guard muttered.


    As they continued their hushed conversation, a powerful aura enveloped the corridor. Both of the guards'' body stiffened, as they sensed the overbearing aura. "What about my niece? Do you think you can speak of her in such a way?", a snort came from a distance.


    A middle-aged man appeared infront of them before the guards could even react. The middle aged man had a carefree expression on his face as both of his hands were behind his back. Despite his nonchnt attitude, the guards feltpletely nervous at this moment.


    "Greetings, Second Prince," the guards bowed in unison. There was reverence in their eyes as they looked towards the middle aged man.


    "Where is little Xinyu? I''ve just returned, and father can''t stop praising his granddaughter. Where is she?", the middle aged man asked.


    Both of the guards looked towards each other before replying. Their nervousness evident from their eyes but they still chose to speak the words in their mind. " Your highness, She has been in seclusion for seven days. Considering her mischievous nature, we are concerned."


    The second prince raised an eyebrow, "Seven days? She would be restless even after cultivating for a single day". Without waiting for a response, he strode past the guards and approached the door.


    He made a series of intricate hand signs as he bypassed the numerous restrictions guarding the room. A frown appeared on his face after he entered inside.


    "Where is little Xinyu?" he muttered to himself.


    ---------------


    "Thap! Thap! Thap", Deng Yue moved her waist skillfully as she rode Zhan Chen''s dragon. Each and every movement felt pleasurable to her as she moved her waist up and down.


    With upward movement, she pulled away her little sister and with downward movement Zhan Chen''s dragon poked the depth of her sacred cave. With each and every movement, the pleasure she was feeling became multiplied.


    "Zhan Chen, it feels really good~", she spoke sweetly as she rode Zhan Chen''s dragon. At a certain point, she closed her eyes as a wave of ecstacy washed over her body. She finally couldn''t control herself as she released her yin water while riding Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Can you use your mouth on it?", Zhan Chen asked her after letting her rest for a while. He was also reaching his peak. So, he asked Deng Yue to assist him with her mouth.


    "Sure", Deng Yue epted his request readily. She knelt beside his waist and wrapped her fingers around Zhan Chen''s dragon. She brought her mouth closer and tried to imitate Shui Liying.


    She was slightly immature in using her mouth but Zhan Chen didn''t mind. He started to thrust his dragon upward and finally released his yang essence inside Deng Yue''s mouth.


    Deng Yue sensed her mouth getting filled. So, she involuntarily gulped. Her throat bubbed up a little as she swallowed Zhan Chen''s yang essence.


    She struck out her tongue after releasing Zhan Chen''s dragon from her mouth. Like Shui Liying, she wanted to lick Zhan Chen''s dragon clean.


    "How is it? How are you feeling?", she asked after licking Zhan Chen''s dragon with her tongue. Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing the hint of anticipation in her eyes.


    "It feels really good. I don''t mind if we do it continuously for few more days", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I also want to but there are so many matters to take care of. Let''s stop after we do it for another time", Deng Yue spoke. She could not be more clear about her invitation for the second round.


    "Deng Yue, kneel down on your fours and show your back to me", Zhan Chen spoke. Deng Yue blushed immediately after hearing his words. She still got down on her fours immediately and exposed her tantalizing back to Zhan Chen.


    "Like this?", she asked with an embarassed voice.


    "Yes, you look really charming in this position", Zhan Chen spoke. He stretched his hand and grabbed the buttocks of Deng Yue. Deng Yue felt a jolt of pleasure when Zhan Chen started to knead her globes of flesh.


    Her little sister started to drool again as she felt a current of pleasure washing over her body. Her buttocks were her weak point which she didn''t notice in her long years of cultivation. Now, Zhan Chen had found out about her weak point which was pleasurable yet agonizing for her.


    "Zhan Chen, please stop. I will not be able to do anything else if you tease me like this", she spoke with a pleading tone.


    "Alright, let''s begin then", Zhan Chen spoke. He ced his dragon on top of her entrance and gave a deep thrust.


    "Ahhh~", Deng Yue let out a surprised moan. She couldn''t beleive that Zhan Chen would reach so deep with a single thrust.


    "Pah", Zhan Chen gave a p to her buttocks and Deng Yue''s body arched up in pleasure. He pulled out his dragon and just before it could leave her cave, he gave her another thrust. This time, his dragon went much deeper and Deng Yue''s cave becamepletely wet.


    Zhan Chen started to move his waist rhythmically as Deng Yue let out sweet moans. They continued for twenty minutes before Deng Yue felt she was approaching her limit. She was nning to hold herself back for few more minutes but suddenly a pnded on her buttocks.


    All of her restraints loosened up as she reached her peak. Zhan Chen rubbed the ce where he had hit as Deng Yue released her yin water.


    "Shall we stop?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "No, let us continue untill you are content", Deng Yue replied. She moved her buttocks a little to properly aodate Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    Zhan Chen kept ramming his dragon against her cave untill he reached his peak. Deng Yue was already feeling weak in her knees after releasing her yin water for four times in a raw. She released her yin water simultaneously when Zhan Chen released his yang essence inside her cave.


    "Zhan Chen, your essence seems really potent", she spoke after sensing the energy contained inside Zhan Chen''s yang liquid.


    "Of course, when I reach the emperor realm, it can assist you in your cultivation", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Really?", Deng Yue became curious.


    "You can check for yourself when that timees. It will be up to you to take as much yang essence you likes at that time", Zhan Chen spoke. He lied down on her bed and pulled her into his embrace. Both of them cuddled and kissed for a while. Deng Yue felt really content as she lied on Zhan Chen''s chest.


    "Zhan Chen, now I am really worried after doing all these things with you. I don''t want you to go to the frontline at all", Deng Yue spoke as she cuddled Zhan Chen. Previously, she was fond of Zhan Chen but not that attached with him. Now after their hours long union, she didn''t want him to visit the front line and face mortal danger on behalf of the Xuantian sect. There were so many cultivators with whom she could rece Zhan Chen. Her man didn''t need to face any unnecessary dangers. It was what she thought while cuddling Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 455 An emergency

    455 An emergency


    "Zhan Chen,e out quickly. Something major has happened", Zhan Chen received a mentalmunication from Shui Liying. Deng Yue also received the same message as a concerned expression appeared on her pretty face.


    "Zhan Chen, put on your clothes. We need to go out. Martial aunt seems really worried", Deng Yue spoke. She freed herself from Zhan Chen''s embrace and looked for her clothes.


    Shui Liying was standing outside Deng Yue''s room. There was a worried expression on her face as she looked towards the closed door.


    "Creak", the closed door got opened as Deng Yue and Zhan Chen came out. Deng Yue was slightly ufortable as she didn''t know how to face Shui Liying.


    "Martial aunt, what is the matter?", she asked without looking at Shui Liying''s eyes.


    "It is about the battle in the frontline. You can hear the details from Ying Chao. Let''s go the ground floor first", Shui Liying replied. She flew downward as Deng Yue and Zhan Chen followed her.


    The main hall of the Xuantian sect''s base was buzzing with low murmurs. Elders, gathered in a semi-circle were discussing thetest event. There was worried expression on each of their faces as they talked with eachother.


    The steady hum of their conversation stopped abruptly when they noticed Shui Liying, Deng Yue, and Zhan Chen. All of them stopped talking and fixed their eyes on the approaching trio.


    Zhan Chen trailed behind the two leading women with a calm expression on his face. From the elders'' expression, he could tell that the matter was very important. Deng Yue looked towards Ying Chao after they settled at the center of the hall, "tell me. What is the matter?"


    Ying Chao hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Sect master, news hase from the frontline. Devils have suddenly ambushed three cities. Though two managed to fend them off, one city sumbed to their attack."


    "Have the imperial family and the Spirit pce not sent reinforcements?", Deng Yue raised her eyebrows.


    Ying Chao shook his head, "They did, but the devils were very cunning. They bypassed the protective formations, ughtered the guards, and opened the gates from the inside. Our reinforcements were outnumbered."


    "What about the Grey Ash City? Is the base of our Xuantian sect attacked?", she inquired with a concerned expression.


    Ying Chao''s expression became grave after he heard Deng Yue''s question. "Grey Ash City is also attacked. It is one among the three cities which devils have attacked yesterday. We managed to repeal them but there are a lot of casualties in our side", Ying Chao replied. His tone was slightly sad as he replied to Deng Yue.


    "How are Elder He and Elder Poyun? And what about Senior Bo Shi?", Shui Liying asked from the side. She was feeling concerned as well after hearing Ying Chao ''s words.


    "They are all gravely injured. If not for the extra emperor we had ced in the city, we would have lost each of our men yesterday", Ying Chao spoke.


    "How many members, have we lost exactly?", Deng Yue asked. She was trying to appear calm but her mind was in disarray.


    "Sixty disciples have perished. We have also lost six of our outer court elders. Our allies sects have also suffered casualties", Ying Chao informed.


    The main hall became silent after Ying Chao spoke. Deng Yue clenched her fists after she heard the number of cultivators, the Xuantian sect has lost.


    "Prepare to reinforce our forces immediately. Let me check what the Sky dragon alliance has to say", Deng Yue spoke. She threw a look at Zhan Chen and Shui Liying before flying away from the Xuantian sect''s base.


    "Ying Chao, we need to be extra cautious. Send words to the sect. Ask them to send two more emperors and four tribtion realm experts from our reserve forces", Shui Liying instructed.


    "Also send words to the Red lily sect, the Glowing amber sect and the Su n. As the prominent powers of our Earth province, they need to send more experts to the battle", she further added.


    "Senior, I will do as you say. We are indeedcking cultivators at this moment", Ying Chao nodded his head.


    "Inform me if there is anything urgent. I will visit the Grey ash city after little Yuee back from the Sky dragon alliance''s head quarter", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Come with me", she looked towards Zhan Chen before flying towards the first floor. Zhan Chen followed her back as they returned to her room.


    "Husband, are you really nning to participate in this battle?", Shui Liying asked. She had a worried expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I acknowledge that there is danger in the frontline but you don''t have to worry. I will breakthrough to the fourth stage of the Heavenly tribtion realm before joining the battle", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Fourth stage! Husband, are not you worried that your foundation will be weak if you cultivate in such a rapid pace?", Shui Liying asked. She felt concerned about Zhan Chen after hearing his words. It was only few days in which Zhan Chen had broke through three stages of the Heavenly tribtion realm. She thought, he would consolidate his cultivation base a little but to her surprise, Zhan Chen was already thinking about breaking through to the fourth stage. Such a godly speed in cultivation was unheard of and it made her worried about Zhan Chen''s cultivation foundation.


    "Liying, you will not believe me even if I say my cultivation foundation ispletely solid at this moment. Rather than asking me, why don''t you take a look inside my body. You can check for yourself whether my cultivation foundation is alright or not?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, I will take a look", Shui Liying nodded her head. She sent her soul consciousness towards Zhan Chen''s body and Zhan Chen didn''t resist at all. Rather he guided her soul consciousness to enter her body.


    Shui Liying''s eyes widened in surprise after she took a look at Zhan Chen''s energy sea. There were three oversized energy whirlpools hovering above Zhan Chen''s energy sea.


    "How is this possible?", she eximed in surprise. Zhan Chen''s energy sea was extremely vast and it''s size could bepared to the energy sea of a seventh stage Heavenly tribtion realm cultivator. Moreover, she felt more surprised after seeing the size of energy whirlpools in Zhan Chen''s body.


    It was amon knowledge among higher realm cultivators that energy sea expanded along with improvement in cultivation but the size of energy whirlpools remained the same. Only the number of energy whirlpools increase with the advancement in cultivation stages.


    The size of energy whirlpools of Zhan Chen was almost thrice as big as an average cultivator. Even the size of her own energy pool was almost halfpared to Zhan Chen''s energy whirlpools. His energy sea was vast and his energy whirlpools were oversized. There was not a single trace from which one could say that his cultivation foundation was unstable. Rather, Shui Liying would like to say that Zhan Chen''s cultivation foundation was more stable than anyone else in the Xuantian sect.


    "How is it? Have you checked throughly?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, it is unbelievable but husband''s cultivation foundation is more stable than anyone else", Shui Liying replied.


    "You don''t have to worry about me. Only sage realm experts can pose challenges to me now. I need to cultivate faster. Otherwise, we can''t handle the situation once the gate of the Archaic pce got opened", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, what about the devils? Are you not worried about their emperors?", Shui Liying asked.


    "There are some difficult ones but there is no need to worry. In short, I am safe as long as devils can''t get help from their sages", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 456 Before leaving the Jade harmony city

    Chapter 456 Before leaving the Jade harmony city


    "Husband, I still need an assurance. I will talk with little girl Yue to send Ying Chao with you. With a peak tribtion realm cultivator like Ying Chao apanying you, I will be more assured", Shui Liying spoke.


    "I will follow your arrangements. But for now, I need to cultivate. Before joining the battle in the Grey ash city, I want to breakthrough to the fourth stage of the tribtion realm", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, you can cultivate with piece of mind. I will make necessay arrangements in the mean time", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Thank you. I am counting on you. I am really fortunate to have such a thoughtful wife by my side", Zhan Chen softly spoke. He gave a kiss on her forehead before sitting down to cultivate.


    Shui Liying looked towards the sitting figure of Zhan Chen for a while. A gentle smile appeared on her face as she walked out of the room. "No, it is I who is fortunate", she murmured to herself.


    ------------------


    Deng Yue returned to the Xuantian sect''s base after half an hour. There was a grave expression on her face as she looked towards the gathered experts. Shui Liying was also present by her side. The only absentee was Zhan Chen who was cultivating inside Shui Liying''s room at this moment.


    "The situation is worse than what we have imagined. More and more devils are pouring in from the spatial cracks and we will probably be outnumbered if we don''t do anything soon", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Sect master, what the Sky dragon alliance has decided?", Ying Chao asked.


    "They will increase the rewards after this battle. All of us nine major powers have to send in additional troops to the frontline. Moreover, they are proposing a merger of forces. Every warriors have to obey their superiors and fight wholeheartedly for the Sky dragon alliance", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Has everyone agreed? Is not the Heavenly sword sect and the Huo n causing trouble earlier?", Shui Liying asked with a curious expression.


    "Spirit pce has already sent some of its experts from its ancestoral temple. With the prestige of sages, who dare raise their voice? If Heavenly sword sect do not want toply, they can withdraw. But they know it will be detrimental for their sect''s future. So, they could only swallow their grievances and co-operate with everyone else", Deng Yue replied.


    "So, what should we do now?", Ying Chao asked.


    "Gather all of our warriors and lead them to the Grey ash city. We will defend the city while waiting for further instructions from the Sky dragon alliance. Remember, we need toply with the arrangements of the Sky dragon alliance from here on. So, we have to ept a decision even it seems unfavourable to us. Overall, there will be sixteen generals. With your cultivation, it is guaranteed that you will be one among the sixteen generals", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Sect master, I understand. Let me organise our cultivators. We will leave for the Grey ash city in an hour", Ying Chao spoke. He left the main hall along with other elders as only Shui Liying and Deng Yue left. She didn''t take the name of Zhan Chen but her meaning was obvious.


    were left in the ground floor.


    "Martial aunt, what is he doing?", Deng Yue asked after everyone left. She didn''t take the name of Zhan Chen but her meaning was obvious.


    "He is cultivating inside my room", Shui Liying replied.


    "Martial aunt, what is his opinion ragarding this battle? Have you discussed anything with him?", Deng Yue asked.


    "Yes, husband is rather eager for this battle. I have tried to change his opinion but my attempt is futile. At least I know one thing, our husband is not a coward. He is not a reckless one as well. I suggest you to beleive in him", Shui Liying replied with a mental message. All along they were talking with mentalmunication. So, no other Xuantian sect cultivators could hear their discussion.


    Deng Yue was slightly surprised after hearing Shui Liying''s words. She couldn''t beleive how swiftly Shui Liying referred Zhan Chen as their husband. Her face was slightly reddened but there was no changes in Shui Liying''s expression. She only had a serene expression on her face as she looked towards Deng Yue.


    ----------------


    Zhan Chen took almost an hour to absorb the yin essence of Deng Yue. His energy sea was was already half filled when he absorbed the pure energy of the tribtion bolts. Now with the help of the Deng Yue''s primordial yin essence, he filled his energy sea to its brim.


    He took another ten minutes to regte his cultivation. He heard a mental message inside his mind when he opened his eyes. "Husband,e to the ground floor", it was Shui Liying who Shui Liying and Deng Yue were present when Zhan Chen entered the main hall.


    noticed him opening his eyes and told him toe down to the main hall.


    "Alright", Zhan Chen replied and left Shui Liying''s room. Ying Chao, Shui Liying and Deng Yue were present when Zhan Chen entered the main hall.


    "Zhan Chen, there are some changes in the arrangements of the Sky dragon alliance. Martial aunt will tell you about it in the way to the Grey ash city", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Is there anything you need to do in the Jade harmony city?", Deng Yue asked.


    "Yes, I need to pick up someone before leaving the city", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Be quick. You can meet with martial aunt and elder Ying Chao outside the city gate", Deng Yue spoke.


    "Okay, I will be quick. Are we already leaving?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, we need to reinforce the Grey ash city as quickly as possible", it was Ying Chao who replied to him this time.


    "Senior, please go ahead with your arrangements. I will catch up with everyone outside the city gate", Zhan Chen spoke. He bade farewell to both Deng Yue and Shui Liying before leaving the Xuantian sect''s base.


    "Zhan Chen, I wouldn''t stop you from going to the battle but please be safe. Don''t do anything reckless in the battle", he received a mentalmunication from Deng Yue when he was about to leave the periphery of the Xuantian sect''s base. From her tone, he could tell that, she was worried about him.


    "My sweet Yue, don''t worry about me", he sent a mentalmunication to Deng Yue before leaving. Deng Yue stood stunned for a moment before reacting. Her face became like a reddened apple after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Sect master, is there any problem?", Ying Chao asked doubtfully.


    "No, everything is fine", Deng Yue tried to appear not infront of her martial aunt and Ying Chao but her heart was beating like a teenaged girl at this moment.

 Chapter 457 Reluctance

    Chapter 457 Reluctance


    "So, you are leaving already?", Xie Lanying, the second princess looked towards Zhan Chen with a reluctant expression on her face.


    She didn''t bother to stop Zhan Chen from going to the battlefield rather she chose to express her feelings to Zhan Chen. Both Zhan Chen and she had just became together. So, she was both mentally and physically unwilling to let Zhan Chen leave her side.


    Zhan Chen Chen felt his heart would melt if the most beautiful girl in the world looked at him with this gaze. "Lanying,e closer", Zhan Chen spoke. There were Zhou Xiaoling and little dragon, Long Xinyu watching from the side. But Xie Lanying still listened to Zhan Chen''s words and walked closer towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled her into his embrace and cupped her face. "Princess, I will try to solve few of your problems while I am in the battlefield. After my return, we can stay together as much as you want", Zhan Chen replied.


    Xie Lanying only tightened her grip around Zhan Chen''s back as she didn''t speak anything. She was feeling really reluctant to part with Zhan Chen like this.


    "Lanying, are you not going to call me little brother anymore?", Zhan Chen chuckled. He tried to cheer her up slightly after seeing her so emotional.


    "No,I will call you Zhan Chen. Is it okay to call you by your name?", she tilted her head.


    "No problem. This is what you supposed to call me in our first day. But you kept calling me little brother and I got to experience how a beautiful elder sister take care of her little brother", Zhan Chen replied. A deep blush appeared on Xie Lanying''s face as her beautiful cheeks got reddened.


    "Are not you gettingte?", she spoke to shift the topic. Both Zhou Xiaoling and Long Xinyu could see, how embarassed Xie Lanying was at this moment. Both of them chuckled after seeing the sight infront of them.


    "Lanying, I am leaving but before that let me tell you something. It is about Xiaoling and mine rtionship. I didn''t get an opportunity to mention it while I am with you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Xiaoling?", Xie Lanying raised her eyebrow. Zhou Xiaoling lowered her head as she didn''t wish to meet the eyes of her young miss at this moment.


    "Xiaoling, you should have told me. But it doesn''t matter. It is not like that he don''t have other women to begin with", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "It is good that you understand", Zhan Chen chuckled. He cupped Xie Lanying''s face and nted a kiss on her lips. Long Xinyu''s face became reddened as she chose to not look at the tant disy of love.


    Zhan Chen walked towards Zhou Xiaoling after kissing Xie Lanying. "Xiaoling, it is unfortunate that I don''t get to spend time with you. Don''t worry though. I will make sure to spend some time with you in my next visit", Zhan Chen spoke with an apologetic expression.


    "I don''t mind. Just return safely from the battlefield", Zhou Xiaoling replied. Zhan Chen gave a kiss on her lips as well before bidding both the beauties farewell.


    "Little girl, let''s go", he spoke to Long Xinyu as he walked out of Xie Lanying''s personal space. An awkward silence descended upon Xie Lanying''s room after Zhan Chen left. Xie Lanying was silent and Zhou Xiaoling was feeling veryplex emotion at this moment.


    Finally, it was Xie Lanying who couldn''t tolerate the torturing silence anymore. "Xiaoling", she called out as she looked towards Zhou Xiaoling.


    "Thud!", to her surprise Zhou Xiaoling knelt down on the floor. "Young miss, I am sorry to not inform you about Zhan Chen", she spoke while still avoiding Xie Lanying''s eyes.


    "Girl, what are you doing?", Xie Lanying narrowed her eyes. She hurriedly went over and helped Zhou Xiaoling to stand again.


    "Xiaoling, look at me", shemanded with a stern voice.


    Zhou Xiaoling had no choice but to look at Xue Lanying at this moment. "Are you feeling guilty?", Xie Lanying asked.


    Zhou Xiaoling nodded her head. "Then are you ready to receive your punishment?", Xie Lanying asked.


    "Yes, young miss. I am ready to suffer any punishment you bestowed upon me. I have failed to report you about Zhan Chen. So, I have broken your trust. Iept whatever punishment you decide for me", Zhou Xiaoling spoke. This time, she didn''t avoid Xie Lanying''s eyes as she raised her head to look at Xie Lanying.


    "Well then, you are not allowed to back down now. I want you to be Zhan Chen''s personal maid when he visit my ce next time. Also, I want you to share all the details about your time with Zhan Chen", Xie Lanying spoke with a straight face.


    Zhou Xiaoling stood stunned for a moment after hearing Xie Lanying''s words. "Miss, you are not going to punish me?", she looked towards Xie Lanying with disbelief on her face.


    "Have you not heard me? I have already announced your punishment. You are not allowed to back down now", Xie Lanying spoke sternly. However, Zhou Xiaoling noticed how she was doing her best not tough.


    "Young miss, you are teasing me", she muttered with disbelief on her face. She knew how imperial family dealt with disloyal subordinates. Although she was close to Xie Lanying, she would have received punishment if it was a normal urrence. But now, she could see that her young miss was not at all serious about giving her any punishment. Instead, she was trying to tease her when she was serious about apologizing.


    "Alright girl, don''t be like this. I wouldn''t have punished you even if Zhan Chen was not my man. I would have feel mad but it did not mean I would have punished you. As for now, punishing you ispletely impossible. You should realise, both of us are already in the same boat", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Although, I will appreciate if I get to know about your time with Zhan Chen. Like his preference and what he liked most about you", Xie Lanying looked towards Zhou Xiaoling with curiousity. Zhou Xiaoling blushed slightly but she still chose to satisfy the curiousity of her young miss.


    "Young miss, it seems like he loves to do it from.....When I am with him, he is almost like a...", Zhou Xiaoling narrated with reddened cheeks. The more she spoke, the redder she got. Xie Lanying also felt a strange itch in her lower body as she heard to Zhou Xiaoling ''s narration.


    ''Only if I could have got him for another day'', she thought to herself with a blush on her face. Both master and subordinate discussed about Zhan Chen and both of their faces were equally red.


    ------------------


    Zhan Chen met with Shui Liying and Xuantian sect cultivators outside the city gate. "Shall we leave?", Shui Liying asked. Zhan Chen nodded his head as he took a look at the Xuantian sect cultivators.


    Among the cultivators, Zhan Chen noticed his personal group. There were his women and the subordinates who had followed him in the battle of the Yellow stone city. Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi turned to look towards him and he smiled back towards them.


    "Depart", Ying Chao ordered and the Xuantian sect cultivators rode their magical beast mounts. Shui Liying took out her flying treasure and along with Zhan Chen, she followed behind the Xuantian sect group.


    "Husband, let''s go to the Grey ash city first. I need to to tend to the injured. After treating them, we will think of a ce where you can face your fourth tribtion", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Sure, I have no problem. Let''s see how the situation in the Grey face your fourth tribtion", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Sure, I have no problem. Let''s see how the situation in the Grey ash city is", Zhan Chen replied.

 Chapter 458 A request

    458 A request


    Grey Ash city, a small city located in the western section of the Earth province. It was a small city yet it housed arge number of cultivators in any ordinary day. The reason for the bustling crowd was it''s location as it lied between the Yellow stone city and the Jade harmony city. Being located between the two biggest cities of the Earth province, it never had shortage of cultivators who were travelling between the tworgest cities.


    The always bustling city appeared half ruined when Zhan Chen, Shui Liying and the Xuantian sect cultivators reached the periphery of the Grey ash city. Few cultivators couldn''t beleive their eyes as they observed the Grey ash city from a distance.


    "Just what kind of battle they have fought?", a cultivator muttered.


    "To think, it is damaged to such an extent! It must be a fierce battle", the cultivator right to him muttered. They had already experienced a terrific war in the Yellow stone city but the city had not received much damage in that battle. It was their first time to see such devastation of a prosperous city.


    A cultivator flew out from the Grey ash city and approached Shui Liying and Zhan Chen. The Xuantian sect cultivators immediately recognised him when the cultivator got closer. The cultivator was Yang Yukong, the powerful peak master of the Sword peak.


    "Junior sister, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you", Yang Yukong spoke as he stopped near the flying treasure of Shui Liying.


    "Senior brother, why are you here? I don''t know that you areing to the Grey ash city", Shui Liying eximed.


    "Well, I can''t sit still after hearing the news. We have already lost enough. I don''t want to repeat such mistakes again", Yang Yukong replied.


    "Please follow me to the city. Your presence is very much required here. More than our Xuantian sect, it was the Lu n who needs your help the most", Yang Yukong added further. A frown appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard the word Lu n.


    "Liying, let''s take a look. I ought to help the Lu n if they are in some sort of trouble", Zhan Chen sent a mentalmunication to Shui Liying.


    "Senior brother, please lead the way", Shui Liying spoke to Yang Yukong. Both she and Zhan Chen followed after Yang Yukong as they entered the Grey ash city.


    Once a prosperous city now appeared ruined to Shui Liying and Zhan Chen''s eyes. They could see the devastation from afar but after getting closer, they got to witness the vivid picture of utter devastation. High rising buildings were reduced to rubbles, the tall wall surrounding the city had crumbled in ce to ce. There were battle scars all over the walls which showed how fierce the battle was.


    Yang Yukong brought Shui Liying and Zhan Chen to the city lord''s mansion. It was located in the middle of the Grey ash city. Currently, it was the acting base of the Xuantian sect.


    "Look, senior Liying is here", the Xuantian sect disciples who were guarding the mansion murmured among themselves after Shui Liying, Zhan Chen and Yang Yukong came closer. All the disciples bowed their heads to show their respect to Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying merely nodded her head as she followed after Yang Yukong. Yang Yukong brought them inside and led them to a hall where the higher echelons of the Xuantian sect were getting treated.


    "Girl, you are finally here", a stout old man who was being treated in the middle of the hall spoke. He had long beard and all of his hair waspletely while. There was numerous scars across his bare body but he didn''t seem to be bothered by his injuries. Rather a smile appeared on his face when he saw Shui Liying.


    "Senior Shi, are you alright?", Shui Liying quickly walked towards the old man after noticing him in the middle. There was a graceful looking woman who was treating the stout old man. She immediately bowed her head after seeing Shui Liying.


    "Peak master, please take a look at senior Shi. He is poisoned during his battle with the devil emperors", the graceful looking woman spoke. She moved to the side as Shui Liying approached the stout looking old man.


    "Let me have a look", Shui Liying spoke. The stout looking old man nodded his head and let Shui Liying check his body condition.


    "Zhan Chen, he is senior Bo Shi. He generally stays outside the sect. So, it is natural for current generation sect disciples to not recognise him", Yang Yukong introduced the stout old man to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen could see that the old man, Bo Shi was a fifth stage emperor realm expert.


    "Thanks to heaven, the poison has not seeped into your internal organs. Otherwise, it would be a difficult task to heal youpletely", Shui Liying murmured after checking the body of Bo Shi.


    "Girl, I know I would be cured. As long as we have a talented girl like you, I don''t have any worry", Bo Shi spoke with a smile.


    "Now, take a look at others. They are the ones who have received the most injuries", Bo Shi pointed towards two beds where an old man and a middle aged man were lying. Both of them were Xuantian sect elders who were grievously injured during their battle with the devils.


    "Senior, excuse me. Can I leave and check upon the Lu n?", Zhan Chen tilted his head and asked Yang Yukong.


    "Do as you wish", Yang Yukong replied. Zhan Chen sent a mentalmunication to Shui Liying before walking out of the hall. He didn''t know what happened to Lu n but he was determined to help them if it was anything under his capability.


    Lu n was an age-old ally of the Zhan n. Moreover, they came to his rescue when he was in a vulnerable state after fighting the expert of the Heavenly sword sect. They protected him untill the end of the Grand sectpetetions. So, Zhan Chen was determined to help them in their hour of need. Rtionship between their ns aside, he was currently connected to Lu n through Lu Mingxi. It waspletely natural for him to help the n from where his woman hade from.


    "Excuse me, do you know where the Lu n is residing?", Zhan Chen asked a female disciple who was guarding outside the hall.


    The female disciple was taken aback for a moment as Zhan Chen approached her. During her long stay in the Xuantian sect, she had never seen someone as handsome as Zhan Chen.


    She quickly recovered from her surprise and nodded her head. "Little brother, I know where they are residing", she replied.


    "Can you take me there?", Zhan Chen asked politely.

 Chapter 459 Meeting the Lu clan cultivators

    Chapter 459 Meeting the Lu n cultivators


    "Junior brother, what is your name?", the girl who was escorting Zhan Chen to the Lu n''s residence asked. There was deep curiousity in her pretty eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, forgive me for not introducing myself earlier. I am Zhan Chen, a newly joined disciple of the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Zhan Chen! I have heard this name before. But I can''t recall where I have actually heard it", the pretty girl muttered. She tried to think hard but she couldn''t recall where she had heard the name Zhan Chen.


    ''I will ask about him when I go back'', she decided in her mind as she kept talking with Zhan Chen in their way.


    "Junior brother, I am Shi Rong from the Crimson fire peak. You can look for me if you face any problem in the future", the pretty girl spoke with an enthusiastic expression. A small smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he saw how eager she was in helping him.


    "Senior sister, I will keep your words in mind", Zhan Chen replied. He bade farewell to her after arriving infront of Lu n''s residence.


    The Lu n was given a mansion adjacent to the Xuantian sect''s base. Compared to the Xuantian sect''s base, they had very few guards watching over their residencial ce.


    "Zhan Chen! What are you doing in the Grey ash city?", a Lu n cultivator inquired after seeing Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen recalled that he had seen the same cultivator in the Lu n group who were participating in the Grand sectpetition.


    "What happened to your n? I have heard that Lu n is facing some sort of trouble now", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Have not you heard anything?", the Lu n cultivator eximed. Zhan Chen shook his head as he was indeed clueless about the ongoing situation involving Lu n.


    "Our Lu n was assigned to guard the Oakrest city. But yesterday we faced the sudden attack of the devils and we were utterly defeated. Many of my nmen were dead now", the Lu n cultivator spoke with a sorrowful expression.


    "I have heard that three bases were attacked yesterday. Two bases werepletely annihted and one base managed to resist. Don''t tell me, Lu n was guarding one of the bases which werepletely annihted?" Zhan Chen asked. He felt slightly restless after listening to the Lu n''s predicament.


    "Yes, the base of the Oakrest city which our Lu n was guarding has fallen yesterday", the Lu n cultivator nodded his head. There was myriad of emotions welling up in his heart as he spoke with "Is senior Tai cang present in the Grey ash city? If he is present, I would like to talk with him", Zhan Chen asked. (Here Tai Cang referred to Lu Tai Cang- the Lu n elder who was guarding Zhan Chen and his women during the Grand sectpetition).


    "Of course, he is present. Even our first elder, who generally spends time in seclusion hase to the Grey ash city", the Lu n cultivator replied. He brought Zhan Chen into the Lu n''s residence and took him to the first floor.


    Lu Gang, who is he?", a pleasant yet strict voice entered Zhan Chen''s ears after he climbed to the first floor.


    "Elder sister Yumei, he is Zhan Chen. He hase to see our fourth elder", Lu Gang replied. Zhan Chen took a look at the beautiful silhouette who was talking with Lu Gang at the moment.


    Lu Yumei was a beautiful girl with a slender body and pretty face. The strict expression on her face made her more attractive and charming to Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Why are you here? Don''t you know what our Lu n is facing at the moment?", Lu Yumei red towards Zhan Chen after hearing Lu Gang''s words. There was a resentful expression on her face which caught Zhan Chen off-guard.


    ''What is with this girl?'', he thought to himself with a puzzled expression.


    "Yumei, don''t be rude to our guest. Bring him inside", a calm voice suddenly came from a distance.


    Lu Yumei clenched her hands and tried to calm herself after hearing the words that came from a distance. "Follow me", she looked towards Zhan Chen with a nd expression as she started to walk towards the distance.


    "Zhan Chen, I am leaving then", Lu Gang bade his farewell. Zhan Chen nodded his head and followed after Lu Yumei.


    There were five cultivators sitting inside a wide room when Lu Yumei brought Zhan Chen inside. Among the five cultivators, there was an emperor and rest of the cultivators werete Tribtion realm experts. All of them raised their heads to take a look at Zhan Chen when Lu Yumei brought him inside.


    "Little friend, please take a seat", the emperor realm expert spoke. Zhan Chen bowed his head slightly towards the five experts before walking towards an empty seat.


    "Yumei, wait outside", Lu Tai Cang spoke after Zhan Chen took his seat. An indignant expression appeared on Lu Yumei''s face but she still managed to control her emotion and left the room.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t mind the little girl. She resents the fact that we are giving you some special treatment", the emperor realm expert spoke.


    "Senior, how can I? There are bound to be some opposing voice no matter which decision you take", Zhan Chen spoke. A slightly surprised expression appeared on the emperor''s face after he heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Little friend, you are really calm andposed. Moreover, you are talented and clever. No wonder, our grand elder is hell bent on supporting you", the emperor spoke.


    "Senior, surely jest. I only have little capabilitypared to everyone present here", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Zhan Chen what brings you here? Are you nning to participate in the Grey ash city''s battle?", Lu Tai Cang asked.


    "I have heard that Lu n is in trouble after reaching the city. I have never imagined that you will suffer such a serious set back in the beginning of the battle", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "We have really suffered a major setback this time. With this defeat, our position in the Sky dragon alliance will weaken", the emperor spoke.


    "Senior, may I know the true lose you have suffered this time? How many cultivators, you have lost?", Zhan Chen looked towards the emperor.


    "Zhan Chen, why are you asking so much? What can you do even if we inform you about our lose?", an elder red towards Zhan Chen. He had an irritated expression on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    ''This brat is really acting like he is someone important. What can he do even if we inform him about our current situation'', he thought to himself.

 Chapter 460 Shocking proposal

    Chapter 460 Shocking proposal


    "What can I do or not is none of your business. I only want you to tell me the lose you have suffered in yesterday''s battle", Zhan Chen red towards the Lu n tribtion realm cultivator who was showing his frustration to him.


    He was always polite infront of the senior experts but this time, he revealed his unruly side to the Lu n cultivators. The Lu n elder felt mad at first but an instinctive fear taken over his temper when his gaze fell onZhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen''s aura waspletely tyrannical at this moment. The Lu n elder felt like a sword was stabbing his soul when he looked into Zhan Chen''s eyes. Few other experts were dissatisfied with Zhan Chen''s impolite words but they held back themselves after feeling the aura leaking from Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Little friend, calm down. There is no harm in telling you the details about the lose we have suffered", the emperor realm expert spoke. Zhan Chen gave a re to the Lu n elder before withdrawing his aura.


    "Gulp", the Lu n elder gulped nervously as few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. ''Freak'', he could only curse inside his mind as he avoided looking towards Zhan Chen''s direction.


    "We have lost eighty Core condensation realm cultivators this time. As for the Martial ascension realm cultivators, we have lost fifteen. We have lost two tribtion realm elders as well. Overall, yesterday''s battle was a great blow for our n", the emperor realm expert spoke. His voice appeared calm but there was hidden sadness in his words.


    "Has the Sky dragon alliance promised anypensation to your n?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "They will let our n withdraw for a week. Moreover, they were awarding military points to those who have perished. But these are of little importance to us. Overally, we have lost so much in return of little to no gain", the emperor realm expert exined.


    "Senior, I have a proposal for your n. If you agree, you can still gain military points without any major lose to your cultivators", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, what is it? Please speak your mind", Lu Tai Cang requested from the side. The emperor took a look at every elders and saw there was a curious expression on everyone''s faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Little brother, be frank. There is no need to have any reservation infront of us", the emperor realm expert added. There was an encouraging expression on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, have you heard about our Xuantian sect''s ordeal in the White mist forest range?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "No, I have not heard anything about it. I was in seclusion untill yesterday. So, I am unaware about the details of our battle with the devils", the emperor realm expert replied.


    "Senior, let me exin. The Xuantian sect has lost many of their inner court disciples inside the White mist forest range", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "Tell me the details", the emperor nodded his head towards Lu Tai Cang.


    "As you know, the Xuantian sect takes the initiative to sh with the devils. Unfortunately, they couldn''t fight with the devils for long as the devils were vastly outnumbering them. With the help of the imperial army, they evacuated all of their disciples safely.


    After withdrawing from the Yellow stone city, the disciples have to travel through the White mist forest range. But the devils were far too cunning to let them off easily. They are lying in ambush when the Xuantian sect disciples entered the White mist forest range.


    Almost every group of disciples suffered loses. Many group of disciples perished entirely but one group managed to escape without any major mishap. I have heard that it was Zhan Chen who fought off the devils on his own without involving his group members", Lu Tai Cang spoke.


    "That is really a praiseworthy acheivement. Tell me, what is your proposal for our Lu n", the emperor looked towards Zhan Chen after hearing to Lu Tai Cang''s words.


    "Senior, I wantthe Lu n cultivators to follow me. I am confident that with my meagre ability, I will be able to keep them safe. I can promise steady military acheivement for them without any major lose to the Lu n''s strength", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Few elders looked towards eachother awkwardly after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. No matter how capable Zhan Chen was, he was still only an eighteen year young man. If the Lu n epted his proposal, the Lu n would be theughingstock of the entire Centralnd. People would mock the Lu nsmen about how foolish their decision was.


    The elders started to discuss among themselves through mentalmunication without alerting Zhan Chen. They were thinking about a way to turn down Zhan Chen''s proposal when they heard the emperor realm expert''s voice.


    "Alright, I will consider your proposal. But I need to know what your actual strength is at this moment", the emperor realm expert spoke after pondering for a moment. An incredulous expression appeared on every elders'' faces after they heard the emperor realm expert''s words.


    "Senior, you can''t be serious!", an elder couldn''t hold back himself anymore. But the emperor ignored himpletely and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, you want to know my true strength. Am I right?", Zhan Chen asked the emperor realm expert. The emperor nodded his head with a serious expression on his face.


    "In short, I only have to prove my strength infront of everyone", Zhan Chen muttered. "Senior, you seem discontent about my proposal. So, why don''t we have a little duel between us?", Zhan Chen looked towards the elder who questioned the emperor realm expert after hearing his proposal.


    The tribtion realm expert felt stupified for a moment after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Other elders along with the emperor were stunned after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. For everyone, it was preposterous for an eighteen year young man to challenge a tribtion realm old expert.


    "Brat, are you serious?", the tribtion realm elder red towards Zhan Chen. He felt it was an insult for him to be challenged by Zhan Chen.


    "I am extremely serious. I will withdraw my proposal if you can defeat me. But if you can''t, then you have to promise me that you will listen to my orders", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Insolence. Let me teach you few lessons about how to respect your elders", the tribtion realm elder spoke. He was slightly angry at this moment after hearing to Zhan Chen''s provocation. Compared to his angry expression, Zhan Chen waspletely calm. He only looked towards the tribtion realm elder with a calm expression on his face.


    "Senior, you can''t me me. Let me educate him in ce of his Zhan n elders", the tribtion realm elder looked towards the emperor for permission.


    "Little friend, you are indeed impolite. Do you really want elder Cheng to fight you?", the emperor realm expert looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I am very eager. After this battle, I will have a capable helper", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Brat, you are courting death", the tribtion realm elder couldn''t hold his anger anymore. He pushed his hand and an energy palm came crashing towards Zhan Chen''s seat.


    "It is getting out of hand", Lu Tai Cang muttered in worry. Zhan n aside, even the Xuantian sect emperors would be looking for them if anything happened to Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 461 A visitor

    Chapter 461 A visitor


    "Boom", a loud sound came from the stone chair where Zhan Chen was seating. The stone chair was crushed into many pieces but to the astonishment of Lu n experts, Zhan Chen was able to avoid the attack in the nick of the time.


    "Elder, receive my attack now", Zhan Chen spoke from the side. He joined two of his fingers and swung his hand. An incredible sharp energy beam went shooting towards the Lu n elder in a breathtaking speed.


    The elder in the receiving end of the attack felt an existential crisis when the sharp energy beam approached his body. He hurriedly made a shield out of his essence energy and tried to defend himself.


    The energy beam left a hole on the shield surface but it couldn''t prate thestyer of the shield. The elder felt cold sweat on his forehead after he managed to parry the attack somehow.


    A feeling of shame and anger rose in his heart when he saw the calm expression on Zhan Chen''s face. Being picked on by a junior was not a pleasant feeling and the elder waspletely angered at this point. Lu Tai Cang wanted to say something but the emperor shook his head. He could feel the confidence of Zhan Chen. So, he wanted to see for himself, the exact extent of Zhan Chen''s strength.


    The enraged elder again pushed his hand towards Zhan Chen''s ce but this time he was not holding back at all. The emperor calmly made a handsign with his hand and a yellowish barrier surrounded the entire interior of the room. His intention was clear. He wanted Zhan Chen and the elder to fight without holding back at all.


    A palm bigger than the previous attack came crashing towards Zhan Chen. This time, the elder was not holding back at all. So, the palm attack was a full strength attack from a fifth stage tribtion realm expert.


    Contrary to everyone''s expectation, Zhan Chen didn''t dodge at all. Rather he swung his hand again and a very sharp energy attack interrupted the progress of the energy palm.


    This time the attack of Zhan Chen was slightly different from his previous attacks. The Emperor could feel it and the other tribtion realm experts could feel it as well.


    The energy sh of Zhan Chen cut the palm attack of the enraged elder in two. It still continued its progress and went crashing towards the attacking tribtion realm elder.


    The elder had tounch another attack to defend himself. "Alright, stop now", the emperor spoke. He was clearly astonished after seeing thest attack of Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, you can already use sword intent?", he looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head slightly to answer the question. As a sword emperor in his previous life, using sword intent waspletely normal for him.


    But what was absolutely normal for him was an absolute shocker for the entire Lu n experts. Every expert present including the emperor realm expert could only look towards Zhan Chen with a stupified expression.


    ''Heaven, what virtue did the Zhan n has performed recently? To think that, they have got such a monster as their heir!'', few eldersined in their mind. Compared to everyone, only Lu Tai Cang was slightly calm. He had already spent some time with Zhan Chen in the ancient Longyang city. So, he had an idea about how monstrous actually Zhan Chen was.


    ''His battle capability is great but he has another greater ability. He can woo almost every beautiful women in the Centralnd with his charm'', Lu Tai thought inside his mind. He had the beleif that Zhan Chen''s women chasing skill was most frightening among his all abilities. Ofcourse, he wouldn''t say his thought loudly. Otherwise, he would have to face everyone''s curious questions.


    "Elder Bai, are you convinced now or do you still want to continue?", the emperor looked towards the tribtion realm expert who was battling Zhan Chen. The elder felt aggrieved but he knew he had already lost the battle. Infront of Zhan Chen''s talent, the more he fought, the moreughable he would appear infront of everyone.


    "I admit my defeat. There is no point in continuing this battle", he spoke with a low voice.


    "It is settled then. I am agreeing to Zhan Chen''s proposal. Our Lu n troops will follow Zhan Chen''smand from now on", the emperor realm expert announced.


    "Senior, I am honoured. I will be depending upon your help in this battle. How much I can acheive, how much Lu n can acheive will depend upon our cooperation", Zhan Chen spoke. He was looking towards all the Lu n experts present. So, his words were meant for every Lu n cultivators.


    "Little brother, you just need to inform us about your n. I promise, I will help to the best of my ability", a tribtion realm elder spoke. He had no duplicity in his eyes as he waspletely convinced by Zhan Chen''s talent.


    "Little brother, same here. You can discuss your n with us. I promise, I will do my best", another elder chimed in. All the elders show their support one by one. Even the elder who was fighting Zhan Chen was no exception.Zhan Chen was rather pleased to see the attitude of Lu n experts. Few of them were arrogant but they could keep away their personal pride for the benefit of their n.


    He was nning to thank the elders again but he was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in", the emperor spoke calmly.


    It was Lu Yumei whom Zhan Chen had met before entering the meeting hall of the Lu n experts. "Great grand uncle, an emperor is looking for Zhan Chen. She told the Xuantian sect disciples that she could wait but I don''t think it is appropriate to keep an emperor waiting", Lu Yumei spoke.


    "Which fellow daoist is it?", the emperor asked out of curiosity. "I don''t know. The Xuantian sect disciples said that she is from the Fragrant Lily sect", Lu Yumei replied.


    "Fragrant lily sect? What do those witches have to do with little brother Chen?", the emperor felt slightly perplexed.


    The reputation of the Fragrant Lily sect was spread in the entire Centralnd. Everyone knew, how troublesome those beauties were who had joined the Fragrant lily sect. Their battle talent was inferior but what made them a terrifying force was their charm techniques. There was no men who could withstand their fatal charm.


    There were rumours about how many geniuses had fallen into their hands. Those beauties would not let go of a bone once they grasp a man in their hand. Any sane cultivator would avoid them unless they wanted to be dried to the bone. Their charm techniques were


    so dangerous that even emperors were wary of them.


    Now that an emperor of the Fragrant Lily sect hade to look for Zhan Chen, it attracted the Lu n emperor''s attention. "Zhan Chen, do you know anyone from the Fragrant Lily sect?", the emperor asked.

    Chapter 462 Esteemed emperor


    "Senior, it most be elder Yali who hase to visit. I have met her during the Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen spoke. He had already sensed the arrival of Hu Yali through his soul linkage. Hu Yali had a ve seal nted on her soul. So, he could sense her arrival from a long distance.


    "Oh, you are already acquintances!", the emperor looked towards Zhan Chen with a slightly surprised expression. Zhan Chen nodded his head with a calm expression.


    "We have already discussed the most important matter. As for the rest, you can discuss with the elders", the emperor spoke. Zhan Chen bade farewell to the Lu n experts before going back to the Xuantian sect''s base.


    "Senior, are we really going to let him lead our troops?", an elder asked the emperor realm expert after Zhan Chen left. Other elders also looked towards the emperor realm expert to hear his answer.


    "He has already proved his ability infront of everyone. So, what is the harm if he leads our troops? If anyone of you is dissatisfied, you can challenge him anytime", the emperor realm expert spoke. He red towards every elders present and all of them could only look down to avoid his eyes.


    "We have already suffered such devastation. I will not let any of our n member to be easily killed again. This time, I will let two of our tribtion realm experts and five of our Martial ascension realm members to follow Zhan Chen. If his leadership quality is good, we can provide him with additional troops", the emperor realm expert spoke. The elders nodded their heads as they had no problem with this arrangement. They could see for themselves whether Zhan Chen was an able leader or not.


    -------------


    "Senior brother Chen", three sweet voices reached Zhan Chen''s ear as soon as he approached the entrance of the Xuantian sect''s base. He turned his head and found Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi waving their hands towards him.


    "You girls, what are you three doing at the entrance?", Zhan Chen asked with a smile on his face. He was happy to see three of his women together.


    "Senior brother Chen, we have heard that an emperor from the Fragrant Lily sect is looking for you. So, we are waiting to inform you", Yin Ran replied.


    "Thank you for being so considerate. Please apany me to the ce where the emperor is waiting", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, how can you be so formal with us?", Hui Ling muttered with reddened cheeks. As for Xue Yi, she could only take sneaky nces at Zhan Chen and blush endlessly when walking side by side with Zhan Chen.


    They entered through the main entrance and walked towards a side corridor. Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi already knew where the emperor was waiting. So, it didn''t take them much time before they brought Zhan Chen to the entrance of avish looking hall.


    "Pleasee in", a pleasant voice came from the inside of the hall.


    "Senior brother, we will wait here. If there is anything you need, please let us know", Hui Ling spoke.


    "Are not you threeing inside?", Zhan Chen looked towards his three women. All of them shook their heads as they didn''t want to go infront of an emperor without any invitation. Unlike Zhan Chen, they considered emperors to be extremely respected and revered individuals. Emperors were seen as the peak existences among themon disciples who were not aware about the existences of the sages. So, Zhan Chen could understand why Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi were so hesitant.


    "Wait here. She may ask you to enter after a while", Zhan Chen spoke. He strode towards the stone door and pushed them open. A gust of wind passed by and the stone door closed on its own after he entered.


    "Greetings master", a graceful looking woman appeared infront of Zhan Chen as soon as the door was closed. She didn''t hesitate to kneel down as she looked towards Zhan Chen with an excited expression on her face.


    "Hu Yali, it has been a while", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her up with his hand and looked towards the excited beauty infront of her.


    "Master, you are really incredible. I don''t know how to thank you. Without you, I might not have been able to be an emperor in this life time", Hu Yali spoke.


    "You are exaggering. You be an emperor with your own effort. Without a solid foundation in the previous stages, how can you be an emperor?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Master, without your help, I couldn''t have entered the state of enlightenment. It is only because of your hard work that I am able to reach the zenith of happiness that day. That moment of fulfillment leads me to a state of enlightenment and finally now I am an emperor after two months of seclusion", Hu Yali exined. There was devotion, longingness and attachment in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She was not even trying to hide her emotions as she faced Zhan Chen.


    "Good for you. I have been nning to get back at you for trying to use the bewitchment technique on me. But your wildness win me over that day. Since we have got to such a stage, I think there is no need for the ve seal anymore", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Master, please don''t. It is not a bad feeling to remain a ve of yours. I want to serve you with all my heart and body", Hu Yali spoke immediately. Zhan Chen could feel that she was really against the idea of removing her ve seal.


    "As you wish. I will not insist then. It is not a bad deal to have an emperor serve me anytime in a day", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Master, thank you for your understanding. This eternal ve of yours will not disappoint you, I promise", Hu Yali spoke. Zhan Chen felt a burst of fire in his heart after he saw her determined expression.


    "I shouldn''t do dual cultivation at such a moment because my essence energy sea is already filled to the brim. But this not about cultivation anymore. You have sessfully managed to provoke me", Zhan Chen spoke. There was an evil glint in his eyes as he looked towards Hu Yali.


    "Master, please don''t hold back yourself. I have been eagerly waiting for this day", Hu Yali softly spoke. She ced her hand on Zhan Chen''s pant and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Hu Yali, you will pay the price for provoking me. But let me first see, how your lips taste like", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her closer and ced his lips on her luscious lips.

 Chapter 463 Disbelief

    Chapter 463 Disbelief


    There was a string of saliva between Zhan Chen and Hu Yali ''s lips when they ended their kiss. Hu Yali had a look of adoration and longingness as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Hu Yali, take off your clothes. I want to see whether there is any changes when you are away", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Thanks for your interest master. I will dly present my body infront of you", Hu Yali spoke. She pulled off her clothes one by one as her gorgeous body unravalled slowly infront of Zhan Chen.


    She had beautiful brown hair and a beautiful curvacious body. Her beautiful twin mountains appeared infornt of Zhan Chen after she took off her undergarment.


    "Hu Yali, you are really skillful. I wonder how can you hide such massive things underneath your sect robe", Zhan Chen muttered. He took a good look at her body before sitting down on a chair.


    "Hu Yali,e lie on my thighs. Let me have a good look at your other side of your body", Zhan Chen spoke. Hu Yali nodded her head obediently and walked closer to Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled her closer and made her lie on his things. Her beautiful back now appeared in full glory infront of his eyes. Her back view was as amazing as her frontal body part. What attracted his attention most was her twin half moons which appeared overproportionatepared to her other body parts.


    "Amazing!", Zhan Chen muttered. He rubbed his palm on her fleshy assets as he asked a question to Hu Yali.


    "Are you ready to ept your punishment?", Zhan Chen asked while massaging her soft buttocks.


    "Yes master....", Hu Yali replied with her eyes closed. She was already enjoying the touch of Zhan Chen''s hands.


    "I will not hold back then", Zhan Chen muttered. He gave aforting massage to her buttocks before swinging his palm down.


    "Pah!", the sound of a loud p reveberated in the air as Zhan Chen gave a p to Hu Yali''s buttocks. It was stinging yet felt strongly pleasurable to Hu Yali.


    "Pah", Hu Yali received another p on the other side of her buttock. Her body was filled with currents of pleasure as Zhan Chen gave a rough treatment to her twin half moons.


    She was expecting another p yet Zhan Chen suddenly stopped. Instead, he started to gently caress her buttocks to check her reaction. As expected, Hu Yali felt stifled and frustrated.


    "Master please, don''t stop yet", she asked with a begging tone.


    "What do you exactly want me to do?", Zhan Chen asked while knedding her soft buttocks.


    "Master, please continue your punishment. I want you keep hitting me with your hand", Hu Yali begged.


    "As you wish", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Pah!", the sound of a loud p reveberated in the air and a look of enjoyment appeared on Hu Yali''s face. "You are really hopeless", Zhan Chen chuckled as he gave her another p. Hu Yali squirmed her buttocks in pleasure as she wanted more attention from Zhan Chen''s hand.


    "Pah", another loud pnded on her buttock and Hu Yali felt like she was suddenly losing control on her body. Overwhelming amount of pleasure engulfed her body and Hu Yali felt as if she was floating in the world of pleasure. Her thighs started to be drenched as a thin line of clear water escaped from her sacred cave.


    "Hu Yali, you are really hopeless. How can you be done with some mere ps?", Zhan Chen asked with a chuckle. He continued to feel the softness of her buttocks as he massaged the huge globes of flesh.


    "Master, please don''t tease me. Any women would surrender infront of your ability. I am d that I am able to grab your attention for so long", Hu Yali replied as she enjoyed the touch of Zhan Chen on her back. She was quite content to just lie on Zhan Chen''s thighs and receive his caress and touch.


    "In that case, let us begin. I have yet to properly punish you. Just some mere ps and you are on the verge of losing yourself", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Master, this ve of yours will dly ept all of your punishment. I promise that, you will not be disappointed", Hu Yali replied.


    She freed herself from Zhan Chen''sp and knelt on the ground. She stretched her hands towards Zhan Chen''s pant and her looked towards Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    intention couldn''t be more clear to Zhan Chen. He cooperated with her as she undressed him.


    "Master, let me take care of you. After that, you can punish me however you want", Hu Yali spoke. Her gaze was fervent as she looked towards Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Don''t disappoint me", Zhan Chen spoke. He leanedzily on the stone chair as he let Hu Yali do whatever she liked.


    "Oh, I forgot to ask one thing. Is it okay, if the girls outside join us?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Master, please decide yourself. I willply with whatever yourmand is", Hu Yali spoke. She gave a gentle kiss to Zhan Chen''s dragon and stroked it with her hand. She appeared really deranged at the moment as she looked towards Zhan Chen''s dragon with a fervent expression on her face.


    "You three,e inside. I will be really d to have you girls by my side at this moment", Zhan Chen sent a mentalmunication to Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi.


    Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi were talking among themselves when they heard Zhan Chen''s message in their mind. "Senior brother wants us to go inside. Shall we go?", Xue Yi asked. She was the most reserved among the three. So, she was the first to express her hesitation infront of her two sisters.


    "Why are you three still hesitating?", Zhan Chen''s voice rang in their heads just after Xue Yi''s question. It was as if Zhan Chen could see through their hesitation to meet the emperor.


    "Let''s go", they made up their mind after hearing Zhan Chen''s question. Hui Ling pushed open the door as they entered inside. The door got closed after all three of them entered. It was Zhan Chen who used his essence energy to close the door.


    Inside, it was a scene of absolute debauchery. The high and mighty emperor was currently licking Zhan Chen''s dragon as if it was the most wonderful delicacy in the entire world. Hu Yali did not even look towards Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi as she was busy in savouring Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "What is going on here?", Xue Yi muttered in disbelief on her face. Hui Ling and Yin Ran had the same expression of disbelief on their faces as they looked towards the scene infront of them.


    "Senior brother is really capable. How can he convince an emperor to do such things with him?", Yin Ran muttered.


    "Are you three going to stand there?", Zhan Chen asked. He was feeling really great at the moment as Hu Yali pleased his dragon with all her might.


    "Senior brother, do you want us to join?", Hui Ling asked. She was more proactive than the others. So, she could easily suppress her disbelief and read Zhan Chen''s intention.

 Chapter 464 Husband, what are you doing?

    Chapter 464 Husband, what are you doing?


    "Hui Ling, you are really smart. Ofcourse, I would like you three to join us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, I...", Xue Yi wanted to speak something but she couldn''tplete her sentence due to embarassment. Both of her cheeks werepletely reddened at this moment as she saw how eagerly the respected emperor realm expert was licking Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    "Xue Yi, you may leave if you are ufortable. I will look for you after finishing my dual cultivation here", Zhan Chen spoke. He could feel that Xue Yi was ufortable with the idea of joining an unknown woman. So, he decided to let her go. If the girl was unwilling, he would not force her no matter how strong his desire was.


    "Senior brother, sorry for troubling you. I will wait outside the door", Xue Yi spoke with an apologetic expression on her face.She felt Zhan Chen would be disappointed because she couldn''t cater to his desire.


    "Xue Yi, don''t think too much. I am nning to gobble you up after finishing with Hu Yali and your sisters. You better prepare yourself because I wouldn''t go easy on you", Zhan Chen sent a mentalmunication to Xue Yi''s mind. All the selfming thoughts of Xue Yi disappeared after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. Her heart skipped a bit when she saw the evil grin on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Senior brother, I will be waiting for you", she spoke with a shy expression before leaving the room quickly. Her heart was beating at a fast pace when she closed the door behind. ''What is he nning to do when he say that he will not go easy on me'', Xue Yi thought to herself with reddened cheeks.


    "You two, what is your decision? Will you two join us?", Zhan Chen looked towards Hui Ling and Yin Ran.


    "Of course, we are going to join. There is nothing we can''t do for senior brother", Hui Ling proudly spoke. She looked towards Yin Ran and she nodded her in agreement. There was desire and expectation in both of their eyes as they walked towards Zhan Chen and Hui Ling.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp", Hui Ling continued to move her head as she was fullymitted to please Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen waited leisurely as both Hui Ling and Yin Ran came closer.


    "Okay, you may stop now. Let me share a kiss with them before we begin", Zhan Chen looked towards Hu Yali.


    "Master, as you wish", Hu Yali replied. She didn''t have any qualm to expose her status infront of Zhan Chen''s women.


    "Master!", Hui Ling and Yin Ran felt confused. "Her name is Hu Yali. You may call her elder sister Yali if you want", Zhan Chen introduced Hu Yali to both Yin Ran and Hui Ling.


    "I am merely a servant of master. You may call me whatever you please", Hu Yali spoke with a dismissive expression. Her words made Hui Ling and Yin Ran more confused as she was repeatedly calling Zhan Chen as his master.


    "Don''t mind her words. She is slightly depraved when ites to our rtionship. You can talk talk with her in your free time", Zhan Chen spoke. He got up from the chair and pulled both Hui Ling and Yin Ran I to his embrace. He shared a passionate kiss with both of them as they embraced him together.


    "Take off your clothes first. I am beginning with Yali", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Am excited expression appeared on Hu Yali''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She stood on her fours on the ground and threw an enticing nce towards Zhan Chen.


    "Both of you can see how much of a seductress she is. It will be my lose if I don''t ept her invitation", Zhan Chen spoke. She gave a squeeze to both Yin Ran and Hui Ling''s buttocks before walking towards Hu Yali.


    He knelt behind her back and ced his dragon near the entrance of her cave. "Prepare yourself. I am beginning", he announced as he gave a thrust with his dragon.


    "Aah~", Hu Yali moaned loudly as the massive dragon entered halfway into her cave with a single stroke. Zhan Chen ced both of his hands on the both side of her waist and gave another thrust. This time his dragon traveled much deeper and poked the most deepest part of Hu Yali''s cave.


    "Master, it is so deep~", Hu Yali moaned. Zhan Chen gave her another deep thrust and Hu Yali moaned out in pleasure.


    Zhan Chen gradually increased the frequency of his thrusts and the incessant moans of Hu Yali rang in the air. Both Yin Ran and Hui Ling were already feeling itchy in between their thighs as they witnessed the wild coupling between Zhan Chen and Hu Yali.


    Yin Ran couldn''t control herself anymore as she started to rub her thighs against eachother. "Pah", a ambiguous sound rang in the air as Zhan Chen suddenly gave a loud p to Hu Yali''s buttocks. Her jade white skin got reddened at the impact point as a look of enjoyment appeared on the face of Hu Yali.


    She expected Zhan Chen to continue but Zhan Chen suddenly pulled out his dragon. "Wait patiently. We can''t keep hanging Yin Ran and Hui Ling", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Stand in your fours beside her", Zhan Chen spoke to Yin Ran and Hui Ling. Both of them were already naked. So, they didn''t take any time in joining Hu Yali.


    Zhan Chen kept pounding all three of them untill he released his yang essence inside Hui Ling''s sacred cave.A rxing pleasure coarsed through his body as he filled Hui Ling''s cave with his yang essence.


    "All of you girls are amazing. It feels really great to dual cultivate together", Zhan Chen spoke. Hui Ling and Yin Ran were feeling weak on their knees after an hour long cultivation. They turned their bodies and lied on the ground to rx themselves.


    "Senior brother, It is exhausting but the experience is really amazing. I can''t beleive that we can dual cultivate with you for such a long period", Hui Ling spoke. She had a blissful expression on her face as she liedfortably on the ground.


    "Dual cultivation between man and woman is an art. As long as you do it properly, it is not a problem even if you do it together with tens of woman", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Although a group dual cultivation works best when there is mutual understanding and cooperation. That''s why I said, you girls are really amazing today", Zhan Chen spoke. He was really pleased after seeing how Hu Yali, Hui Ling and Yin Ran cooperated together so smoothly.


    "Master, this ve is not done yet. Allow me to make you feel good once again", Hu Yali spoke. She had the same eager expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    ------------------


    Shui Liying visited the Lu n''s ce after treating the Xuantian sect cultivators. She stayed in the Lu n''s camp for half an hour before bidding them farewell. "Finally, I am free. Let''s see what husband is doing", she thought to herself after leaving the Lu n''s camp.


    Zhan Chen was enjoying the bliss of being taken care by Yin Ran and Hu Yali''s mouths when he sensed the soul concerniouousness of Shui Liying. "She is finally here. It is difficult to stop at such a point but I can''t keep her waiting", Zhan Chen murmured.


    "Master, this is the soul consciousness of ate emperor realm expert. Seems like she is looking for you", Hu Yali spoke.


    "Yes, we have to stop now. As a wood energy cultivator, she is extremely busy at the moment. We can''t keep her waiting for us", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, sister Yi is still waiting for you outside. You should curious expression on her face.


    "Yes senior", Xue Yi replied with a small blush on her face.


    see her after talking with the senior expert", Yin Ran spoke.


    "Of course. I am nning to visit her after having some fun with you girls. But now, it seems like I have to make an arrangement after talking with Liying", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Zhan Chen released his aura when Shui Liying was looking for him. So, she didn''t face any trouble in locating him inside the Xuantian sect''s base. She flew to the hall where Zhan Chen was having fun with Hu Yali and Yin Ran and appeared infront of the closed door.


    "Greetings senior", Xue Yi was quick to greet her.


    "Little girl, are you waiting for him?", Shui Liying asked with a curious expression on her face.


    "Yes senior", Xue Yi replied with a small blush on her face.


    "Creak!", the door opened just after Xue Yi replied. Zhan Chen walked out of the room with a small smile on his face.


    "Husband, what are you even thinking? Should not you worry about your tribtion first?", Shui Liying sent a mentalmunication to Zhan Chen. She had a reproachful expression on her face as she looked towards him.

 Chapter 465 Whispering wasteland

    Chapter 465 Whispering wastnd


    "Liying, it is not my fault. It is the fault of that vixen Hu Yali. If you want to scold, please give a lesson to that vixen first", Zhan Chen spoke. He had an innocent expression on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Hu Yali! Is it the name of the newly emerged emperor from the Fragrant Lily sect?", Shui Liying inquired with mentalmunication. Both of them were avoiding talking out loud because it may raise finger towards their rtionship.


    "Yes, I have met her during the Grand sectpetition", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Fine, I will talk with her another day. But we should take care of the most important matter at hand first. I have already thought about a location where you can face your tribtion safely", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Okay. But let me talk with Xue Yi first. She has been waiting for me since two hours", Zhan Chen threw a look towards Xue Yi.


    "Husband, no need to worry about it. Let me talk with my junior sister", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Thanks", Zhan Chen could only expression gratitude to his diligent wife. A small smile appeared on Shui Liying''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s thanks. She turned her head to look towards Xue Yi who was standing behind.


    "Girl,e with me. I need to talk with you", Shui Liying spoke. A perplexed expression appeared on Xue Yi''s face but she still nodded her head immediately. It was her fortune that the revered peak master of the Serene bamboo peak want to talk with her.


    "Husband, wait here. We will be back in no time", Shui Liying sent a mentalmunication to Zhan Chen before leaving with Xue Yi. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen''s face as saw Shui Liying flying away with Xue Yi.


    ''The more I get to know her, the more I grow to like her. If It was my previous life, I would have stopped taking another wife after getting Shui Liying. She is beautiful, gentle, thoughtful. What else a man can want from his woman?'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    ''But reality is I am a dual cultivator in this life. Only because I am a dual cultivator, I get to know an amazing woman like hers. After getting her, I still take Huang Mei, Sima Chunhua, sect master Deng Yue as my wife. There is also the second princess who is so beautiful that her beauty seems unreal to eyes.


    None of them are ordinary woman. All of them are prideful and amazing in their own way. They still choose to beleive me and ept me as their man. I can only treasure their feelings in my heart and strive to move forward. Only by getting unparallel strength, can I protect those close to me. Otherwise, everything wil be ruined like my previous life. I don''t want to watch helplessly like my previous life as my loved ones face danger'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. Unknowingly, his eyes got moistened as the painful memory of his previous life resurfaced in his brain.


    Everywhere was a scene of destruction. The ruined pce building of the imperial Zhan family littered the ground. The loyal warriors of the imperial army were trying their best to escort him to the distance. But the enemy warriors vastly outnumber them. At every moment, someone close to Zhan Chen would fall to protect him. There was only despair and rage in his heart as he watched everything helplessly.


    "Husband, what is the matter?", a concerned voice suddenly pulled Zhan Chen out of his reverie. Shui Liying threw away all her reservations after seeing the condition Zhan Chen was in. His eyes were moist and his face was pale. There was sweat drops on his forehead which saw he was not in good condition.


    Zhan Chen found Shui Liying looking towards him with a concerned expression on her face. A surge of warmth appeared in his heart as he started to calm down. "Have you spoken with Xue Yi?", Zhan Chen asked her.


    "Senior brother", Xue Yi called out from a distance. She was feeling slightly guilty after she talked with Shui Liying.


    "Senior brother, I have never imagined you will be so much concerned about me. Now that I have known it, I feel assured now. You can look for me when you have free time in your hand", Xue Yi spoke after getting closed to Zhan Chen and Shui Liying. Her eyes were gentle as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Thanks for your understanding", Zhan Chen replied. "Okay, I am leaving. Let''s meet outside the city", he spoke to Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying was still worried but she didn''t stop Zhan Chen from leaving. "Girl, cultivate properly while he is away. You can look for me if you have any doubt or if you need my assistance", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Senior, you are too kind", Xue Yi bowed towards her. Now, she knew about Shui Liying''s rtionship with Zhan Chen but it didn''t lessen her respect towards her. Rather, she was now more motivated and determined after talking with Shui Liying.


    "Senior, I will do my best to cultivate", she spoke to Shui Liying. Shui Liying nodded her head and flew towards the distance.


    Liying asked after meeting Zhan Chen in the outskirts of the Grey ash city. She had a concerned expression on her face as she waited -----------------


    "Husband, are you alright? What happened to you earlier?", Shui Liying asked after meeting Zhan Chen in the outskirts of the Grey ash city. She had a concerned expression on her face as she waited for Zhan Chen to reply.


    "No need to worry. Just some unpleasant memories", Zhan Chen spoke. He walked closer and pulled Shui Liying into his embrace.


    "Husband, please restrain yourself. We have yet to leave the outskirts of the Grey ash city. If someone from the Soaring dragon alliance sees us....", Shui Liying spoke with reddened cheeks. She could free herself considering her strength but she didn''t do anything to escape from Zhan Chen''s embrace.


    Zhan Chen lowered his head slightly and gave a quick kiss on her luscious lips. Seeing how embarassed Shui Liying was, a small smile appeared on his face.


    "Which ce have you choosen for my tribtion?", he asked after freeing her from his embrace.


    "Husband, we are going to the Whispering wastend. That ce is slightly dangerous but it is the best ce to face your tribtion without alerting anyone", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Whispering wastnd! Is not it the ce where a forbiddennd of the Northern desert continent located?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, the forbiddennd is located in the center of the Whispering wastnd but we will avoid it. You can undergo your tribtion in the periphery of the Whispereding wastnd. It is already evening. So, by the time you start your tribtion, it will be already night. It is the best time to avoid the attraction of the cultivators", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Okay, let''s follow your n. I have always wanted to see these forbiddennds of the Northern desert continent", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying took out her flying boat and both of them rode it towards the distant horizon.

 Chapter 466 Fourth stage of the Heavenly tribulation realm

    Chapter 466 Fourth stage of the Heavenly tribtion realm


    The horizon stretched wide, revealing the Whispering Wastnd in its full expanse. Thin, tall trees, like gaunt sentinels, dotted the wastnd.


    Each tree swayed gently, bending and stretching in its own unique way. It was as if they weremunicating their myriad emotions to the asional cultivator that dared tread their territory. Every so often, strange voices would waft through the air, their utterings iprehensible, vanishing before one could grasp their meaning.


    As Zhan Chen entered the Whispering Wastnd, he couldn''t shake the sensation of unseen eyes scrutinizing him. He looked around, trying to find the source of this strange feeling.


    "This ce is slightly odd," Zhan Chen murmured. His low voice appeared loud in the silent eerie atmosphere.


    "Husband, this ce has many souls caged in the trees of the Whispering Wastnd. Typically, a soul vanishes into the world when a cultivator below the Martial Ascension realm perishes. But thatmon logic does not apply here. Due to its mysterious nature, the central area of the Whispering wastend considered a forbiddennd. Even the sages had perished there, whenever they dared to venture deeper", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Even the sages! What kind of secret is this ce hiding?", an intrigued expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "I don''t know the details. But each of the forbiddennd is very dangerous for us cultivators. There is a reason why these ces called as forbiddennds", Shui Liying spoke solemnly.


    "I have choose this ce because cultivators would stay away from this eeriend in the night. There are very weak souls caged in the outskirt area. So, there is almost no danger if you face your tribtion here", she further added.


    "The mysteries of the cultivation world never ceases to amaze me. Years of our cultivation, yet we know only a tiny fraction of the cultivation world''s knowledge", Zhan Chen spoke while looking at the Whispering wastend.


    Shui Liying nodded her head, her eyes distant. "Indeed, the true world is very vast and beyond our imagination. Even with my Law glimpse realm cultivation, I am not yet eligible to explore many ces in the Centralnd", Shui Liying added.


    "So, husband, you should take one step at a time. Stay away from danger and focus on your cultivation. You are extremely talented. As long as you keep patience, you can definitely reach the peak of the Centralnd", Shui Liying spoke.


    "I understand. You don''t have to worry. I will not venture into the forbiddennds only because of my curiousity", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Shui Liying looked around and found a ce where the density of the trees were less. "Husband, this ce seem suitable for your cultivation", she pointed towards a nearby area inside the Whispering wastend.


    "Okay, I will cultivate there", Zhan Chen replied. He flew downward after leaving Shui Liying''s flying treasure. Shui Liying stashed away her flying treasure and followed Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen sat cross legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He cleared all the stray thoughts from his mind and tried to focus on his cultivation.


    The starry sky got covered by pitch ck cloud in no time. Loud rumbling could be heard as thunder cackled in the pitch ck sky time to time.


    "This intensity! It is almost like the final tribtion of the Heavenly tribtion realm", Shui Liying muttered to herself. There was both shock and worry on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Husband, you have to stay strong. The heavenly tribtion is getting more outrageous with improvement in your cultivation stage", Shui Liying murmured.


    It took almost an hour for the cloud topletely condense. A dazzling bolt of lightening descended towards Zhan Chen after the cloudpletely condensed.


    Zhan Chen was fully prepared with his sword this time. "Mountain splitting sh", he swung his hand andunched a big sh towards the descending lightning bolt. The lightning bolt got cut in half with Zhan Chen''s ferocious attack. The lightning bolt turned into pure essence of heaven as they reached Zhan Chen.


    ''What a strong attack. Not only the tribtion is getting stronger but husband also increasing in strength exponentially'', Shui Liying thought to herself. She kept watching as the second lightning bolt descended towards Zhan Chen.


    This time the lightning bolt changed colour and Shui Liying felt palpitation in her heart despite being an emperor realm expert. ''Purple thunderbolt turns blue. It is the skyfire thunderbolt!", she murmured to herself. Her expression turned grim as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Compared to the panick in Shui Liying''s heart, Zhan Chen waspletely calm. ''Trying to stop me! Not going to happen'', he thought to himself. A frightening sword aura came out from his body as he opened his eyes.


    "Hum", the sword lying by his side buzzed on it''s own as if it was trying to acknowledge the prestige of Zhan Chen. "This is Sword heart!", Shui Liying fell into a stupor for a moment. She watched with an incredulous expression as Zhan Chen dealt with the Skyfire thunderbolt with absolute ease.


    ''I can''t beleive it. Mastering sword heart means the birth of a new sword emperor. Husband is only a third stage tribtion realm expert. How did he do it'', she thought to herself.


    She watched in surprise and amazement as Zhan Chen dealt with the second thunderboltwith absolute ease. The mighty heaven could sense Zhan Chen''s fighting spirit as it sent a much fiercer looking Skyfire thunderbolt towards Zhan Chen. "Sky splitting sh", Zhan Chen sent a twelve feet sh towards the sky in response.


    His attack was extremely sharp as it cut the Skyfire thunderbolt in two and zoomed towards the dark cloud above. To Shui Liying''s surprise, the sh cut through the firstyer of cloud before dissipating in the air.


    After sending two Skyfire thunderbolts, the heaven seemed to mellowed down a little. It only sent an ordinary thunderbolt as thest trial of Zhan Chen. ''How shrewd'', Zhan Chen could only curse inside his mind as he dealt with the final thunderbolt. The more threatening and fiercer the thunderbolt was, the more heavenly essence it contained. While Zhan Chen was hoping for a more ferocious thunderbolt, the heaven yed a joke with him.


    Although Zhan Chen felt indignant, he could somehow underst the dilemma of the heaven. The amount of heavenly essence in the world was limited. If it kept using it on a third stage tribtion realm cultivator without getting any result, it was only wasting it''s limited valuable resource.


    Zhan Chen ced his sword by his side and closed his eyes. The divine yinyang diagram on his dantian operated on it''s own as it greedily absorbed the pure heavenly essence in the surrounding.


    While he was busy cultivating, he was unaware that a change had ured inside the diagram world in his soul. A slender beauty who was sleeping in his diagram world opened her eyes when Zhan Chen used the Sword heart for the first time.


    The slender beauty had a bewitching face and raven ck hair. She was wearing ck clothes which exposed her beautiful navel area. Her body had a strange blue luster. When she opened her eyes, it seemed like the world had lost its brilliance for a moment.


    The most eye-catching thing about her was her eyes. Unlike human eyes, her eyes were ink ck in colour. A cultivator would think he was entering into a quagmire of no return, if he looked into the beautiful girl''s eyes.

 Chapter 467 Celestial night

    Chapter 467 Celestial night


    The whispering wastnd gradually returned to normal after Zhan Chen faced the strike of the fourth tribtion thunderbolt. The threatening clouds gradually receded, exposing the beautiful starlit sky above.


    A new energy whirlpool appeared above Zhan Chen''s energy sea afte he broke through to the fourth stage of the tribtion realm. His energy sea expanded further after he broke through the limit of the third stage in the Heavenly tribtion realm.


    The sacred yinyang diagram on his dantian glowed with a dazzling light as it ceaselessly absorbed the purest essence of the heaven and earth. His energy sea was already filled one third by the time thest shread of the heavenly essence disappeared from the environment.


    "Husband, congrattion", Shui Liying spoke when she noticed Zhan Chen opening his eyes. There was a happy smile on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen smiled as well after noticing her jovial mood. It appeared like Shui Liying was more happy than him due to his sesful breakthrough.


    "Liying, everything turns out fine due to your help. Thank you", Zhan Chen expressed his gratitude.


    "Husband, no need to say thanks. This is the least I can do for you", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Shall we leave now?", she inquired. Although they were far away from the frontline, Shui Liying was a responsible woman. As a leader of the Xuantian sect, she was anxious about the current situation in the Grey ash city.


    "Give me a moment. Let me check something quickly", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying nodded her head as she was very amodating to Zhan Chen.


    "Come out", Zhan Chen shouted in a low voice. He was calling out to his sword because he had sensed it while he was cultivating earlier.


    He had lost contact with his sword after he hadstmunicated with it in the Hundred blossom city. No matter how hemunicated with it, it wouldn''t respond since then.


    To his delight, he finally sensed some movement from his sword when he was cultivating earlier. The first thing he wanted to do after breaking through to the fourth stage of the tribtion realm was to check on his sword.


    A perplexed expression appeared on Shui Liying''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s shout. She didn''t know whom Zhan Chen was calling out when there was no one in the vicinity.


    After few moments of wait, an otherworldly girl appeared infront of both Zhan Chen and Shui Liying. She had a bewitching face and raven ck hair. She was d in a battle robe which exposed her beautiful navel area. The most striking feature of hers was herbeautiful eyes which was pitch ck in colour. One would think they were looking at the most mysterious object of the world, the more they looked into her eyes.


    "Greetings master", the exquisite beauty lowered her head to greet Zhan Chen. There was deep curiousity in her eyes as she raised her head to look at Zhan Chen.


    "You are the weapon spirit of ''Celestial night''?", Zhan Chen asked with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.


    "Yes, sorry for not greeting you earlier. I have been asleep since my rebirth", the beautiful girl replied. Her voice appeared aloof and distant although she was talking politely with Zhan Chen. There was a chilling and mysterious aura around her which would sent shiver to anyone present in her surrounding.


    But Zhan Chen was least bothered about her chilling and mysterious aura. Rather his mind and soul was immediately drawn to the mysterious beauty infront of him.


    "An apology is not needed. I am happy that I am able to get a beauty as my weapon spirit", Zhan Chen spoke. He turned his gaze up and down as he sized up the exquisite beauty infront of him.


    "Master, you can call me when you are fighting. Otherwise, don''t bother me", the exquisite girl spoke in an emotionless voice. Her words appeared very cold but none could see the embrassment hidden in her eyes. She became a streak of light and entered Zhan Chen''s body without asking for his permission to leave.


    "Seems like my beautiful sword spirit has quite an attitude. But it does not matter. I am already satisfied that I have got a beauty like her as my sword spirit Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Unbestknown to him, Celestial night was blushing red at the moment. Her exquisite face waspletely red because of the shyness she was feeling.


    ''What kind of master I have got? None of my previous masters look at me with such a gaze. Our souls are connected. So, I can tell that he is genuinely interested. But it is unthinkable between a human and a sword spirit'', she thought to herself with reddened cheeks. She could feel that her heartbeat was rapid due to her earlier encounter with her master. So, she ced a hand on her chest to calm herself down.


    "Husband, who is she? I felt a very threatening aura from her. Moreover, it seems like she is not a human", Shui Liying asked. There was a curious expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Liying, she is my sword spirit. I can''t exin much about her because it is our first meeting", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Shui Liying stood stunned for a moment after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. She couldn''t beleive her ears even though Zhan Chen was extremely clear in his exnation.


    "Husband, you mean to say you possess an innate weapon with a sword spirit?", Shui Liying looked towards Zhan Chen with an incredulous expression.


    "Yes, I got lucky. It appears like a broken sword. So, none in my familywas interested in it back then. I discovered it when I visited my Zhan family''s weapon storage", Zhan Chen replied. Shui Liying''s eyes widened in shock after she heard how easily Zhan Chen got such an incredible weapon.


    "Husband is really favoured by luck", she murmured to herself. She took out her flying treasure and Zhan Chen boarded it along with her to leave the Whispering wastnd.


    Before leaving the Whispering wastnd, Zhan Chen threw a curious nce towards the forbiddennd. The trees were still swaying rhythmically and the strage voices were stilling from time to time. ''I will definitely find out the secrets of the forbiddennds after attaining the sage realm'', he thought to himself.


    He found Shui Liying was looking at him with when he turned to look at her. Shui Liying felt slightly embarassed. So, she turned her head away.


    ''My Liying is such a lovely woman. How can I resist her when she appear so shy and embrarassed'', Zhan Chen thought to himself with a chuckle. It was a feast for his eyes to see Shui Liying like this.


    Shui Liying threw a secretive nce towards Zhan Chen and found him still looking towards her. Her earlobes got reddened as she quickly looked away. "Liying, it will be unbearable if I don''t do anything. You are unresistable", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He pulled Shui Liying closer and pressed his lips on her lips. Thus, a beautiful scene unfold as the flying boat flew beneath the star-studded sky.

 Chapter 468 Husband, be patient

    468 Husband, be patient


    The kiss went on for almost ten minutes as both Zhan Chen and Shui Liying embraced eachother intimately. Shui Liying looked towards Zhan with soft desire and gentle emotion after both of their lips were separated.


    "Husband, I like you so much. There is only one regret in my mind that why don''t we meet sooner", Shui Liying softly spoke. In the gentle moonlight and the slowly floating boat, the beauty chose to bare her heart infront of her beloved. There was emotion and boundless love in her eyes as she gazed at Zhan Chen.


    "Liying, you don''t know how lucky I am feeling at this moment. Having you by my side, what else can I ask from the heaven?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband", Shui Liying''s eyes moistened slightly. She was unsure when a dignified emperor like herself fell so hopelessly for Zhan Chen. But there was not a single regret in her heart about this. There was only sweetness and fulfillment in her heart when she looked at Zhan Chen.


    "Liying, it is worth everything to get you by my side. Don''t regret about the lost time. I will try to wash away all your regrets during our avable time", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled Shui Liying closer and sealed her lips with his lips once again.


    The kiss went on for fifteen minutes before both of their lips were separated. Emotion and desire was raging in both of their hearts as they looked towards eachother.


    "Husband, let me take care of you", Shui Liying spoke softly. She didn''t wait for Zhan Chen''s response and reached out to Zhan Chen''s pant with her hand.


    "Let me help you", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled off his pant and exposed his mighty dragon under the serene moonlight.


    "Husband, you should rx. I will do my best to make you feel good", Shui Liying spoke. She wrapped her palm around Zhan Chen''s dragon and started to stroke it gently. Both of them shared another kiss while Shui Liying was stroking Zhan Chen''s dragon. She chose to use her mouth after the kiss was ended.


    Zhan Chen closed his eyes in pleasure after Shui Liying started to use her mouth. He felt veryfortable as waves after waves of pleasure coarsed through his body.


    "Liying, let''s do it together. I am starting to forget how you taste down under", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying blushed but she didn''t refute Zhan Chen''s proposal. Instead, she started to take off her clothes to cater to Zhan Chen''s suggestion.


    "Husband, it will be too risky if we get intimate in the open sky. We are only few hours away from the Grey ash city. If we rush in full speed, we can reach there in an hour. Why don''t we wait a little?", Shui Liying softly asked without removing her sect robe. Unlike Zhan Chen, she was slightly hesitant about engaging in the unscrupulous activities under the open sky.


    It was okay for Zhan Chen to strip himself naked because he was a man. But in her case, no matter how strong her desire was, she would feel hesitant to strip herself under open sky because she was a woman. If they were in a secluded space, she might not have hesitated. But they were in a flying boat which may attract some experts'' attention. Shui Liying didn''t want to push herself in such an embarassing situation. Zhan Chen could understand her concern. So, he agreed to her proposal. Shui Liying kept stroking his dragon while they were in their way to the Grey ash city.


    "Liying, use your mouth", Zhan Chen looked towards Shui Liying with desire in his eyes. Shui Liying didn''t have any objection as she knelt down to cater to Zhan Chen''s demand.


    Zhan Chen couldn''t control himself anymore after Shui Liying used her mouth for half an hour. She was very patient and enthusiastic to cater to his every demand.


    "Liying, I am releasing my yang essence", Zhan Chen warned her. He pushed her head closer to his dragon and bursted inside her mouth. His dragon throbbed in delight as it released a good amount of yang essence inside Shui Liying''s mouth. Zhan Chen felt a wave of satisfaction after releasing his yang essence inside her mouth.


    Shui Liying waited untill Zhan Chen released thest drop of his yang essence. Her throat bulged up a little as she swallowed the mouthful of yang essence. After swallowing Zhan Chen''s yang essence, she struck out her tongue and licked clean Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    She wrapped her palm around Zhan Chen''s dragon after pulling out her mouth. There was an apologetic expression on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. "Husband, be patient. We will reach the Grey ash city very soon. I can only prey that there is not any ongoing conflict between our cultivators and the devils in the Grey ash city", she softly spoke.


    ''Liying, you are the best. How can you be so considerate towards me'', Zhan Chen thought to himself while looking towards Shui Liying. She was still diligently trying to please him even after swallowing his yang essence.


    "Liying, will youe with me when I visit my family in the Western province?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Husband, are you nning to introduce me to your parents?", Shui Liying asked. Her expression became slightly flustered after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Yes, I am nning that. I want my mother to see how beautiful her daughter-in-w is", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, I will go with you", Shui Liying murmured. Inwardly, she felt very nervous when she thought about meeting Zhan Chen''s parents. Unknowingly, her grip on Zhan Chen''s dragon loosened up as her mind got upied after hearing Zhan Chen''s words.


    Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing her reaction. ''To think that a mighty emperor like her would get so much nervous'', he shook his head with an amusing expression on his face.


    "Liying, why are you thinking so much? My parents are understanding people. I can guarantee they will ept you after seeing how beautiful you are", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But our age?", Shui Liying asked with a worried expression on her face. Age was a major obstacle between her and Zhan Chen whenever she thought about giving legitimacy to their rtionship.


    "Does my young age bother you?", Zhan Chen looked towards Shui Liying.


    "How can it be? I am rather lucky that you still choose me despite our age difference. It is not me rather you who should be bothered about my age", Shui Liying spoke. This night with Shui Liying gave Zhan Chen an opportunity to learn about all her concerns and worries.

 Chapter 469 Dont scare my Liying

    Chapter 469 Don''t scare my Liying


    "Husband, we are almost near the Grey ash city. If there are no movement from the devils, we can visit my room right away", Shui Liying spoke. There was faint desire and anticipation in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Liying, you are looking very beautiful", Zhan Chen spoke as she stretched his hand to caress her face. She was looking like an otherworldly goddess under the shimmering moonlight.


    Shui Liying''s face reddened slightly after she heard Zhan Chen''s praise. Her heartbeat quickened as Zhan Chen caressed her face with his hand.


    "Husband, just a little bit of patience. We are reaching the Grey ash city very soon", Shui Liying spoke. She couldn''t make eye contactwith Zhan Chen any more as she was feeling very shy all of a sudden.


    Zhan Chen continued to admire the embarassed beauty as he traveled with her under the moonlight. There was posessiveness and desire in his eyes as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Hmm!", Zhan Chen suddenly felt a very dangerous sensation while he was admiring Shui Liying''s beauty.


    "Liying, put up the barrier", he yelled out. The next moment a long sh came crashing towards Shui Liying''s flying boat. Shui Liying activated the defensive barrier at the nick of the moment as the long sh crashed on the defensive barrier.


    "Boom", a loud sound was heard as Zhan Chen and Shui Liying both got got shaken by the impact of the attack. There were some cracks appeared on the defensive barrier as the flying boat absorbed the impact from the attack.


    "Liying, store away your flying boat otherwise it will notst another attack", Zhan Chen warned Shui Liying. "But husband, I have yet to locate the enemy", Shui Liying spoke. She was very anxious at this moment as she tried to locate the attacking enemy with her soul consciousness.


    "Liying, another attacking from our left side", Zhan Chen warned. Shui Liying moved her flying boat forward hurriedly but the attack still grazed one end of the flying boat. The cracks on the defensive barrier lengthened as the forward movement of the flying boat lessened the impact of the attack.


    "Husband, what should I do? I can protect myself but you can''t probably survive these attacks", Shui Liying asked with an anxious voice. She had a worried expression on her face as she tried her best to locate the enemy.


    "Liying, store away your flying treasure first. You don''t have to worry about me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "But husband....", Shui Liying wanted to say something but Zhan Chen stopped her in the midway of the sentence.


    "Liying, beleive me. Nothing will happen to me", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying was reluctant initially but she chose to give in to Zhan Chen''s words after seeing look of confidence in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "Husband, stay closer to me. I will protect you from any harm", Shui Liying spoke after storing away her flying treasure. She took out her sword as she stood infront of Zhan Chen with a defensive posture.


    "What a surprise! Humans still have ate stage emperor with them in the Grey ash city", a voice came out as a figure materialized infront of Shui Liying and Zhan Chen. He was a middle aged person with crimson hair on his forehead. His every feature was human like except the single horn growing out from his forehead.


    "Ate stage devil emperor!", Shui Liying murmured to herself. She became more alert as she started to gather energy from the surrounding.


    "You don''t look like a warrior to me. Moreover, you are trying to protect an ant from my attack. Let''s see how much time you canst infront of my Hell tempest technique", the devil spoke. He swung the sabre he was holding andu ched an attack towards Shui Liying straight away.


    The attack appeared extremely in and simple but Shui Liying was cautious nevertheless. She swung her longsword andunched a sh towards the iing attack.


    To her surprise, the devil''s attack divided into seven parts before colliding into her attack. Her attack only managed to stop one portion of devil''s attack. Other six attacks from the devil came crashing towards her body.


    She swung her sword again andunched another sh towards the six iing attacks. She managed to fend off the devil''s attack but the devilunched another attack towards her in the meantime.


    "ying tricks! Not under my watch", Zhan Chen who was silent untill now spoke. He could clearly see that the devil was using his battle expertise and cunningness to defeat Shui Liying.


    Shui Liying was talented but she couldn''t match a devil who had gone through countless battles in his life time. It took only a few attacks from the devil to gain an advantage over Shui Liying. Moreover, she was protecting him. So, she couldn''t use her skills freely as she was constantly worried about his wellbeing.


    "Celestial night,e out. Let the battle with an enemy emperor our first battle together", Zhan Chen spoke. A streak of light came out from his body and turned into a pitch ck sword which hovered infront of him.


    Before Shui Liying could tell anything Zhan Chen used the Ethereal cloud steps and charged towards the enemy emperor with the sword in his hand. "What is an ant trying to do?", the devil felt amused at first. But soon a cautious expression appeared on his face when he sensed the battle intent of Zhan Chen.


    "Heart sword, Seven rays of sacred sun", Zhan Chen roared out as he closed the distance between the devil emperor and himself. The movement of his sword was surprising Swift as heunched numerous shed towards the devil emperor within the blink of an eye.


    "It is nothing", the devil emperor proimed as he swung his sabre twice in the air. Two very long shed came out as they charged towards Zhan Chen''s attacks.


    To his surprise, all of Zhan Chen''s attacks scattered away all of a sudden as they avoided his two shes. Then as if Zhan Chen''s attacks had their own minds, they came crashing towards his body.


    The devil emperor was taken aback by the ingenuity of the attack. He hurriedly put up an energy barrier around his body as Zhan Chen''s attack came crashing towards him.


    To his surprise, two of the Zhan ''s attacks mixed together before crashing on his body and left a deep cut on his hand. His chest would have got wounded if he was not wearing a battle armour.


    "Bastard, how is this possible? What kind of sword technique is this?", the devil eximed loudly. He was in lose of words as he looked towards the puny human who was like an ant to him.

 Chapter 470 Frustrated devil emperor

    Chapter 470 Frustrated devil emperor


    "Husband is so talented! How can he use his Sword heart so efficiently?", Shui Liying thought to herself. She decided to join the battle alongside Zhan Chen to fight with the devil emperor.


    The devil emperor became more cautious as he looked towards Zhan Chen. Compared to his cautious approach, Zhan Chen had a carefree expression on his face.


    "Devil emperor, tell me. What are you doing in the vicinity of the Grey ash city?", Zhan Chen asked the crimson haired devil infront of him. There was a hint of surprise on his face as he observed the wound he had inflicted upon the devil. At this moment, the wound was recovering on it''s own at a visible pace.


    "I have nothing to tell to you humans. My only task is to stop you two from leaving this ce", the devil emperor spoke. He vanished into thin air after speaking with Zhan Chen.


    "Husband, watch out. I can''t sense him anymore", Shui Liying shouted. She flew towards Zhan Chen after the devil emperor vanished.


    Two vertical shashes came flying towards Shui Liying while she was flying towards Zhan Chen. The attack came from an unexpected angle which ensured that Shui Liying couldn''t dodge them.


    Zhan Chen was expecting this trick from the devil. So, he was already prepared. Heunched a long sh towards the twin attacks which wasing for Shui Liying.


    "Boom!", both the attacks collided in the mid air while Shui Liying closed the distance between herself and Zhan Chen. There was an expression of contentment and pride on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    ''Husband is getting powerful very quickly. It has been only a short while since the beginning of our rtionship. Yet he is already able to protect me from an enemy emperor'', she thought to herself. Standing beside Zhan Chen, she felt a sense of security and confidence which she had not felt since the appearance of the enemy emperor.


    "Devil emperor, do you think you can hide from me?", Zhan Chen asked. He held Shui Liying by her waist and looked towards a certain direction in the sky.


    There was no response from the devil as only the eeerie silence answered back his question. Shui Liying also looked with her soul consciousness in hope that she could find a trace of the enemy emperor.


    An attack came from there behind after they looked for a while. The attack was much faster than the previous attack and it aimed for both her''s and Zhan Chen''s body.


    Zhan Chen turned around almost at the exact moment after the devilunched his attack. "Wind cutting sword", he muttered andunched a piercing sh at the attacking towards them.


    "Come out from your hiding, Mountain shing sword", he followed with another attack after intercepting the attack of the devil. This time heunched his attack towards a different direction which confused Shui Liying.


    But to her surprise, the devil emperor appeared in that exact direction where Zhan Chen had sent an attack. Heunched an attack with his sabre to negate Zhan Chen''s Mountain shing sword technique.


    "Human brat, how can you see through my concealment?", the devil emperor looked towards Zhan Chen with a bewildered expression. Within a short time period, the puny human had given him too many shock and surprises.


    "Liying, don''t worry about me. It is a rare chance for me to fight without any inhibition. I will take this chance to hone my skills properly. Moreove, I can familiarize myself with my sword", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying was slight worried but she still nodded her head.


    ''Only if we are fighting on thend. In the sky, I can barely do anything with my wood element'', she thought to herself. She focused her attention on Zhan Chen who was about to sh with the devil.


    "Human brat, you seem rather eager to battle. No matter how crafty you are, you can''t close the gap between the Law glimpse realm and the Heavenly tribtion realm", the devil spoke. He tried to appear calm and collected but inwardly, he was weary towards Zhan Chen''s abilities.


    ''I will just crush him with absolute power. It will be problematic for our Abhorst empire if such a crafty human brat remain alive and participate in the uing battles'', the devil emperor thought to himself. He circted essence energy inside his body and his long crimson hair fluttered in the air.


    "Human brat,e. Let me see what trick you are going to y this time", the devil emperor spoke. Despite his weariness, he was now determined to crush Zhan Chen for the glory of his Abhorst empire.


    "Husband, be careful", Shui Liying spoke from a distance. She could notice the change in aura of the devil emperor. Previously, he was putting up minimal effort but now the devil emperor appeared more than serious.


    "Liying, don''t worry. I have nothing to fear infront of an emperor", Zhan Chen replied without turning his head. A powerful aura came out from his body as he looked towards the devil emperor with battle intent.


    "Hum", the sword in the hand of Shui Liying trembled along with Celestial night. Both the swords trembled in excitement in the presence of a true swordsman.


    ''Heaven is all epassing. Earth is kind and warmer. Man is born with the blessings of heaven and earth. Heart is what connects us with the vast earth and the boundless heaven. I call upon my heart to evoke both heaven and earth.''


    "Heart sword, Sacred luminescence", Zhan Chenunched an attack after muttering few words. His muttering were indistict but it strangely rang in the mind of both Shui Liying and the devil emperor.


    A beam of light which was bringhter than anything else flew towards the devil emperor. "Bastard, this is resonance with the heaven", the devil emperor hurriedly put up a thick barrier to protect himself. As for an attack to counter Zhan Chen''s technique, he didn''t get any time to think about it as Zhan Chen''s attack descended on him with a breathtaking speed.


    "Boom!", infront of Zhan Chen''s attack, the barrier of the devil emperor was like a piece of ss. It crumbled quickly and the attack fell upon the armour that the devil emperor was wearing.


    It was a sorry sight as the devil master got sted towards a distance. There was a deep wound in both of his hands as his hands were not protected by the armour he was wearing. There was a visible dent on his magical armour which upset the devil emperor.


    "Freakish bastard", the devil emperor roared out. He looked towards Zhan Chen''s direction but couldn''t find him in his location. Before he could look towards another direction, an attack came crashing towards his head.


    The devil emperor hurriedly put up another barrier around his body and tried to protect himself. The attack from Zhan Chen again shattered his energy barrier and sted him off towards the ground.


    Shui Liying''s eyes lit up after she saw the devil emperor getting sted off towards the ground. She sent a mentalmunication to Zhan Chen after heunched his attack.


    "Husband, can you leave the enemy to me. I promise, I will do my best to defeat our enemy", Shui Liying spoke. There was eagerness to fight in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Okay, I will leave him to you", Zhan Chen spoke. He was nning to try few more techniques on the devil emperor but indulging Shui Liying was a priority for him. Moreover, he wanted to see how Shui Liying perform in the battle.

 Chapter 471 An astonishing sight

    471 An astonishing sight


    A powerful aura came out from Shui Liying''s body as she descended towards the ground. Her aura was not tyrannical rather her aura was extremely pure. A normal cultivator would think of worshipping her when one came across such purest aura.


    "Empress of woods: third technique: Dance of vines", Shui Liying softly spoke. She made few hand signs with her hands and the wood energy of the entire surrounding started to gather around her.


    The energy undtion was so great that it attracted the attention of both Zhan Chen and the devil emperor. A bad premonition rose in the heart of the devil emperor as he decided to leave the forest.


    He flew upward and tried to leave the heights of the forest. He was almost sessful but at thest moment few vines came out from the tall trees and surrounded him. Before he could react, his body was already bound by numerous vines.


    Shui Liying was doing different hand seals with her hands and controlling the vines. The vines themselves were not powerful as they could be cut apart by the attack of an early stage emperor but their strength lied in their numerical superiority. The devil emperor tried to resist as he created numerous wind des and tried to cut apart the vines but he remained unsessful. New vines came out inrge numbers, the more he cut them with wind des. Finally his fingers were tightly bound and he couldn''t perform any hand seals to control the elemental energy around him.


    Zhan Chen witnessed an incredible sight, ate stage emperor realm devil expert was lying helplessly in front of Shui Liying''s might. He tried to use his tyrannical physical strength to break through the vines but his attempts remain futile. Each of his body part was strongly bound by Shui Liying''s vines.


    A drop of sweat appeared on Shui Liying''s forehead as she continued to use hand signs. Despite her exhaustion, she felt a sense of acheivement after catching the mighty devil emperor. "Husband, what should we do? I can''t keep him bound forever", Shui Liying looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Don''t you have any killing moves? You can take his head and im a reward from the Sky dragon alliance. I bet everyone will be surprised when they learn about your acheivement", Zhan Chen spoke. He encouraged Shui Liying so that she could get something useful for herself from the Sky dragon alliance.


    "Husband, can you handle him for me after I decapacitate him. Unless it is extremely necessary, I prefer not to take a life", Shui Liying spoke.


    Zhan Chen felt slightly perplexed after hearing Shui Liying''s words. He didn''t understand why she would hesitate to kill an enemy emperor. But now was not the time to think about it. So, he decided to focus on dealing with the devil emperor first.


    "Forest fury; Sylvan strike", Shui Liying murmured. She gave a hand signal and numerous energy swords appeared around the body of the devil emperor. The devil emperor struggled madly but he could only watch helplessly as the numerous wood elemental swords impale his body.


    The devil emperors''s physical body was very sturdy and it was impervious to many attacks but his body''s defence could notst long infront of Shui Liying''s incessant attack. Numerous wood elemental swords collided with his body and finally few scars appeared on his sturdy body.


    His physical body could no longer resist the wood elemental swords as he got impaled by numerous swords. "Ahh", the devil emperor let out a pained roar. His eyes were full of hate and anger as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Bastards, you think you can deal with me like this?", the devil emperor roared out. His aurapletely exploded as a red glow appeared all over his body.


    "Blood explosion technique", the devil emperors roared out as his aura skyrocketed. Shui Liying''s expression changed as she found it difficult to keep binding the devil emperor.


    "Liying, retreat. You are no match for this crazed devil at this moment", Zhan Chen spoke. He used the Ethereal cloud steps and appeared beside Shui Liying to protect her.


    "Puny humans, how dare you mess with me like this? I will eat your bones and sacrifice your souls to the devil god to get even. After I am done with you both, I will personally go to butcher other humans from the Grey ash city", the devil emperor spoke as he shook his body. To Shui Liying''s surprise, her technique rendered inefficient as the devil easily broke the binding of the vines.


    "Liying, let''s retreat", Zhan Chen pulled away Shui Liying. He was observing the devil emperor closely and he knew the devil emperor was thrice stronger than before after using the Blood explosion technique. The devil emperor''s body filled with stabbing sounds and blood was pouring out from each of his wounds. With all the blood and the vengeful expression on his face, the devil emperor was looking absolutely terrifying.


    "Husband, what is with this devil emperor? How can he erupt with so much strength after getting injured like this?", Shui Liying asked with a look of disbelief on her face. She had never heard or seen sucha technique where a dying cultivator would erupt with so much power.


    "Liying, don''t judge a devil by our human race ''smon standard. He is using a forbidden technique at the moment but he can sustain it longer than a human emperor can do. In short, he will stay in his empowered version for an hour or two. After that, he will be extremely weak because of the bacsh. So, all we need to do is stall for time", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Husband, I understand. Let''s fight together", Shui Liying spoke. Despite seeing how terrifying the devil looked at the moment, she didn''t get flustered. Rather her eyes glowed with fighting intent and determination as she stood along with Zhan Chen.


    Retreating was not an option for both of them after they heard what the enraged devil had spoken. If they flee, the devil would go to trouble the Grey ash city.


    Till now, both of them were unsure about the situation in the Grey ash city when they were away. Appearance of ate stage devil emperor was bad news for them because there was a chance that he hade to assist the devils who might came to attack the Grey ash city.


    If a war was really going on in the Grey ash city, then the addition of ate stage devil emperor would tilt the bnce towards the devil forces. So, Zhan Chen and Shui Liying decided to fight the devil emperor despite knowing how terrifyingly powerful the devil emperor was at this moment.

 Chapter 472 Scaring away the devil emperor

    Chapter 472 Scaring away the devil emperor


    Unlike Shui Liying, Zhan Chen was not that much worried about the battle in the Grey ash city. He could sense Hu Yali from his current location through her ve seal. He had alreadymunicated with her while Shui Liying was battling the devil emperor.


    ording to Hu Yali, devils hade inrge numbers but the cultivators in the Grey ash city were holding their ground. Moreover, devils were not going berserk like other days. So, it was easier for the Grey ash city cultivators'' to stop them. As for her, she had yet to reveal herself as she was secretly keeping an eye on Zhan Chen''s women. She was ready to help as long as one of Zhan Chen''s women in danger.


    The matter of concern for Zhan Chen in the Grey ash city was his women. Now that, Hu Yali was looking after their safety, he waspletely worry free. He decided to focus all his attention on the devil emperor who was fighting Shui Liying.


    To his surprise, the devil suddenly exploded with unimaginable strength. "Blood explosion technique", the devil roared out.


    Zhan Chen''s expression changed, the moment he saw the terrifying strength of the devil. He used the Ethereal cloud steps and appeared beside Shui Liying.


    "Lowly humans, ept your death", the devil swung his sabre and a twelve feet long sh came flying towards Zhan Chen and Shui Liying.


    "Husband, be careful", Shui Liying shouted. She tapped into her energy sea andunched an attack towards the twelve feet long sh. To her surprise, her counter attack got crushed easily.


    The devil''s attack was like grim reaper which cut her attack in two and came towards both Zhan Chen and Shui Liying in a rapid pace. "Heart sword, Sacred ray of the heaven", Zhan Chen roared out. An iparably brilliant light came out from his sword and collided with the attack of the devil emperor.


    "Boom", unlike his other attacks, this attack was not able to cut through devil emperor''s sh. Both of their attacks collided resulting in a deafening noise in the surrounding.


    The impact of the attack bore upon Zhan Chen and Shui Liying as they were closest to the collision spot. Both of them took several steps back in the air before stabilizing themselves.


    "Humans, no matter how you struggle, you two will die today", a voice came from the direction of the explosion and the devil emperor appeared before Zhan Chen and Shui Liying like a malevolent ghost. Currently, there was a reddish glowing out from the devil emperor''s body which made him look more sinister and terrifying.


    "Je he he, resistance is futile at the moment. Just obediently die for me."


    "Netherwind sh", the devil let out a maleficughter beforeunchingan attack. Zhan Chen''s eyes narrowed in surprise because he felt a dangerous sensation from this attack.


    "Liying, step back. Let me handle this attack", Zhan Chen sent a mentalmunication to Shui Liying before flying towards the direction of the attack. He had no choice other than confronting this attack because this attack appeared very strange and dangerous to him. If he couldn''t counterattack properly, this attack may affect Shui Liying''s soul.


    "Sword heart, wind cutting sword", Zhan Chen hastilyunched an attack to counter the devil. To his surprise, the devil''s attack cut his attack into pieces before going in its original direction. Zhan Chen could only swung his sword in hope to push back the devil emperor''s attack.


    A strange soul trembling pressure came from the devil''s attack when Zhan Chen stopped it with his bare sword. A cruel glint appeared in the devil emperor''s face when he saw how Zhan Chen was desperately stopping his attack.


    "Human brat, how does your soul feel? Are you freezing from inside?", the devil asked in glee. ording to his expectation, any human even if he was a peak emperor realm expert would turn into an idiot after being affected by the Netherwind sh. The Netherwind sh was a very profound attack whichbined a soul attack along with a physical attack.


    The devil emperor thought Zhan Chen was done for after receiving his attack. He was nning to finish Zhan Chenpletely when he felt a chill in his body. He looked towards Zhan and saw him looking towards him with a mocking expression.


    "Bastard, how is this possible? How can you be not affected?", the devil eximed in surprise. A bad premonition rose in his heart as he decided to flee.


    The blood explosion technique has it''s limit and the devil knew he would be done for if he got entangled with Zhan Chen any longer. There was also Shui Liying who was ate emperor realm expert herself. So, the safest choice the devil found was to flee the location.


    Shui Liying watched with surprise as a mighty devil emperor chose to flee the battlefield. Before Zhan Chen and she could react, the devil emperor had already pulled a long distance between them.


    "Humans, don''t think, I will not avenge myself. The next time we meet, I will definitely offer your souls to the devil god", the devil emperor roared from a distance. He didn''t notice the strage smile appearing on Zhan Chen''s face after he spoke his words.


    ''You think, I will let you go away like this'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. The devil emperor''s body stiffened up as he felt an unprecedented danger all of a sudden.


    A strand of tyrannical soul energy approached him before he could react. The devil emperor put up a soul barrier hurriedly in hope of protecting himself.


    But his efforts were futile. A tyrannical soul strand prated his soul and the devil emperor shuddered in the air. It was the first time, a cultivator had struggled against the Soulve technique. Other victims couldn''t even react when Zhan Chen''s soul strand entered their souls.


    The devil emperor struggled for few moments before bingpletely still. His eyes became lifeless as Zhan Chen''s soul strand entered the depth of his soul and turned into aplex looking seal.


    He was about to turn around to greet Zhan Chen when Zhan Chen''s voice entered his head. "No need for pleasantries. I want you to go back and take note of devil''s activities. I will call you if there is any need", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "This ve understands. I will follow master''s instruction", the devil emperor respectfully spoke. He flew towards the distant horizon and vanished from Zhan Chen and Shui Liying''s sight.


    All of these ured within few moments. Before Shui Liying could understand, the devil emperor had be Zhan Chen''s ve and left the battlefield.


    "How dangerous! Thest attack of the devil gave me a scare. Fortunately he left, otherwise, I don''t know what to do", Shui Liying spoke. She kept a hand on her chest to calm down her rapidly beating heart. There were emotions swirling in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Husband, please don''t do something so dangerous next time. In the worst possible scenario, I would have used a forbidden technique as well but nothing most happen to you", Shui Liying spoke.


    She flew towards Zhan Chen on her own and embraced him tightly. She used the beating of her heart to inform, how concerned she was for him.

 Chapter 473 Conspiracy

    Chapter 473 Conspiracy


    A refreshing fragrance assailed Zhan Chen''s nose as Shui Liying embraced Zhan Chen tightly. From the quivering of her body, Zhan Chen could understand how much she was worried about him.


    Thest attack of the devil emperor was mighty. Shui Liying felt helpless and threatened infront of such a strange attack. But Zhan Chen courageously faced such an attack and salvaged the situation. Shui Liying felt so much worried and nervous that her body was quivering.


    "Liying, have not I told you, emperors can''t do anything to me? But I am still promising you, I will not be reckless next time I fight", Zhan Chen coaxed Shui Liying with a tender expression in his eyes.


    He gently caressed her back as Shui Liying embraced him. It was rare for her to lose calm infront of any adversary but her attachment and love for him, made her so much nervous.


    Any men would melt by such selfless love and care and Zhan Chen was no exception. A tender and soft feeling rose in his heart as he held Shui Liying in his arms.


    "Husband, we should take a look at the Grey ash city. I have a premonition that the devil emperor''s apperance in the outskirt of the city is no coincidence", Shui Liying spoke after separating herself from Zhan Chen. A trace of worry appeared in her eyes as she looked towards the distant Grey ash city.


    "Let''s take a look", Zhan Chen nodded his head. Before sending away the devil emperor, he had already probed their motive. The devil emperor revealed what he knew while he was fleeing from their fighting location. They had a soul connection. So, it was easier for them tomunicate even though they were far apart in distance.


    ording to the devil emperor, it was not only the Grey ash city, that was being attacked at this time rather the devil were attacking almost every forward base at the same time. He was incharge of looking after the Grey ash city matters. So, he was not sure about the arrangement in other bases.


    "What these devils are actually nning? I have a bad feeling about it", Zhan Chen thought to himself while hurrying towards the Grey ash city along with Shui Liying. He thought about different possibilities while following behind Shui Liying in the air.


    "What is going on here?", Shui Liying eximed as they approached closer to the city. From their distance, she could sense multiple powerful auras shing against eachother.


    She increased her flying speed and finally her eyes fell upon the Grey ash city. Once majestic city walls had crumbled, reced by broken pieces of walls everywhere. There was a chaotic fighting going on which could be only termed as cruel and brutal.


    Human experts and devil emperys were raining attacks against eachother. The fierceness in their eyes were charging the very air with a suffocating and brutal feeling.


    Previously, the human cultivators were caught off-guard by the attacking devils but this time they were slightly oustomed to the craziness and bloodthirstiness of the devils. The human cultivators in the Grey ash city had superiority in numbers. So, they were not at all afraid by the intruding devils. With the lead of Ying Chao as the general, all of them were fighting fiercely with the devils.


    Their confidence bolstered when the Lu family joined the battle. The Lu family was badly weakened in the previous wave of battle but they still joined the battle in the Grey ash city which bolstered the confidence of the Grey ash city cultivators.


    There were corpses everywhere but surprisingly, the devil corpses were more in numberpared to the human fatality. Human cultivators had learned their lesson in the previous battle. They knew they couldn''t afford to be weakminded in the battle against the devils. With the lesson they had learned in the previous battle and their superiority in number, they managed to effectively counterattack the fierce devils.


    The battle raged on despite many warriors from both human side and devil side were grievously injured. There was no limit to the craziness of the devils but they couldn''t overpower the united human warriors who were superior in number. Various elemental attack and battle techniques were colliding against eachother which made the battle more chaotic.


    "Stop", suddenly a voice came out in the midst of the battle. The voice was like a rumbling drum which reached the ears of every warrior fighting.


    A suffocating aura pressed upon the battlefield as Shui Liying appeared in the distant sky. It took her only few moments before she could approach the battlefield.


    "Ate Law glimpse realm expert!", the heavenly tribtion realm experts in the devil side felt like their hearts were sinking in the abyss. No matter how courageous they were, they were no match for ate Law glimpse realm expert.


    Contrary to the panick in the devils'' side, human side was cheering. Ying Chao took a breath of relief after seeing the goddess likedy in the sky.


    "It is the peak master of the Serene bamboo peak."


    "With her, the devil side will be defeated in no time."


    "My hand can still be healed. No matter what trick the devils has used, she most have a way to heal me."


    Human experts started to talk among themselves. Their courage and hope increased after they saw the brilliant appearance of Shui Liying.


    "You treacherous devils! Just what exactly you are trying to aplish? It has been only few days, yet you have already attacked us two times", Shui Liying furiously looked towards the devil expert.


    Due to her wood elemental affinity, she seldom loses her cool but this time her rage erupted. Seeing the bodies lying in the battlefield, she felt like she wood kill these bloodthirsty devils personally.


    The entire battlefield turned silent infront of Shui Liying''s rage. Even the Xuantian sect cultivators felt apprehensive because they had never seen Shui Liying losing her calm.


    "Ke ke ke! What a beauty, I would like to y with you but it is not a good time", a voice suddenly came from the distant sky. The panicked devils felt like they had found a saving branch to hang on as they turned to look towards the distant sky. But no matter how they look, they couldn''t find the origin of the voice.


    "Who are you? Come out if you want to fight", Shui Liying felt slightly apprehensive. Even with herte emperor realm soul consciousness, she couldn''t discover the devil expert who was talking.


    "Beauty, I would like to y with you but it is not the time. The matter of my Abhorst empire is more important than my personal interest. But don''t worry, I will make sure to find some time ande to y with you. For now, we are leaving", the devil expert spoke. He was using some strange method to mask himself from other people''s soul consciousness.


    "Devil warriors, retreat", suddenly voice of another devil emperor came out. Unlike the previous devil expert, who like to hide himself, this devil emperor came out in open.


    Zhan Chen who had already entered the Grey ash city, looked at the devil emperor who had appeared in the sky. This devil emperor was three meter tall and had four hands. His muscles were bulging and it seemed like he had an endless strength to rely on. But strangely, he had a deep cut on his chest which appeared fresh to everyone. Blood was still seeping out from his chest when he ordered the devil warriors to retreat.


    "Junior sister, let them pass. This battle is meaningless at this point", Shui Liying received a soulmunication in her head. It was Yang Yukong, the peak master of the Sword peak who talked to her.


    "Human warriors, fall back. The battle is over", Shui Liying announced. She was still furious towards the devil warriors but she was not a impulsive person.

 Chapter 474 A discussion

    Chapter 474 A discussion


    "Zhan Chen, where have you been during the war?", a Xuantian sect elder asked Zhan Chen. Many elders looked towards Zhan Chen with a questioning expression. The battle was such an important moment for the sect yet Zhan Chen was absent in such a time. It naturally drew the ire of few elders present.


    "He has been with me. If you have any question, you may ask", before Zhan Chen could say something, the majestic voice of Shui Liying was heard.


    "Senior, I am just being curious. If he has been with you, it is only natural that he missed tonight''s battle", the elder hurriedly rified his stance. He had no reason to interrogate Zhan Chen anymore after hearing Shui Liying''s words.


    Zhan Chen felt warmth surging in his heart after seeing Shui Liying covering for him. She generally did her best to keep their rtionship private but seeing him in a dilemma, she volunteered to cover for him. He could feel that she no longer had any qualm about revealing their rtionship to the outside world. ''But I will not let her expose our rtionship. What kind of man am I if I can''t maintain the prestige of my wife'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Everyone, no need to bother Zhan Chen anymore. There are mountains of things to handle after the battle", another voice came. This time it was Yang Yukong, the peak master of Sword peak who had spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, don''t mind the elders. It is only natural that they will be grumpy after not seeing you in such an important battle", Ying Chao sent a voice transmission.


    "Senior, I understand. I will not hold it against the elders", Zhan Chen replied. The elders left one by one after hearing Yang Yukong''s words.


    Zhan Chen felt quite a few eyes looking towards him when he was talking with the elders. He turned to look towards them after the elders had left.


    "Senior brother Chen", Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi walked over to his side. There were few more as Sima Chunhua and an icy beauty walked towards him.


    Zhan Chen immediately identified the icy beauty as Jia Lingyi whom he had met during the Grand sectpetition. He had very few conversation with him but her battle techniques had left quite an impression in his memory.


    He hurriedly greeted the beauty after seeing her walking towards him with Sima Chunhua. "Senior sister Lingyi", Zhan Chen greeted the icy beauty.


    "Zhan Chen, I have few things to discuss with you. Let''s go to a secluded ce", Jia Lingyi spoke. Their group was about to leave when another group of disciples blocked their path.


    "You are the new core disciple?", an eagle eyes tall man looked towards Zhan Chen. His voice was like a superior talking to his junior.


    "You are?", Zhan Chen looked towards the eagle eyes man with a frown. He didn''t like the superior attitude of the eagle eyed man infront of him.


    "Brat, how dare you talk back to senior brother Haoran? Obediently reply whatever senior brother Haoran is asking", a burly man beside the eagle eyed man stared towards Zhan Chen.


    "Chu Haoran, are you nning to bully junior brother Chen?", suddenly a pleasant voice interrupted the conversation between Zhan Chen''s group and the eagle eyes man''s group. Zhan Chen turned his head and found a group of disciples walking towards him. A woman in green robe was the leader of their group.


    "Hua Xixi", a frown appeared on Chu Haoran''s indifferent face.


    "Brat, don''t think you can pull out anything extraordinary just because few emperors look favourably upon you. Moreover, don''t think anything funny about Lingyi. She is mine. If you dare show up too much, I will put you in your ce", Zhan Chen received a voice transmission in his head. It was Chu Haoran who sent him a voice transmission stealthily after noticing the new group of disciples.


    "Hua Xixi, are you nning to pull this brat to your side?", Chu Haoran asked the green robed woman.


    "Yes, I want to but the decision is his own. Junior brother Chen is an extraordinary person himself. So, I will not find it strange if he rejects my offer", Hua Xixi spoke.


    "Don''t put a brat on a pedestal. He is yet to know what true strength actually means. If he joins your faction, I will not find trouble with me. But if he rejects your offer, I am free to do whatever I want", Chu Haoran spoke.His gaze was dismissive and cold when he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Ha ha", Zhan Chen suddenlyughed. He didn''t know how many days it had been since someone could provoke him like this.


    "Junior brother Chen", Sima Chunhua felt worried. Other girls by Zhan Chen''s side felt worried as well because they knew what Chu Haoran and Hua Xixi represented. They were among the strongest cote disciples of the Xuantian sect. Sometime even emperors would be helpless infront of them because they were backed by the ancestoral peak of the Xuantian sect. Even the generally calm and cold Jia Lingyi had a worried expression on her face. She couldn''t understand, why the two strongest factions of the Xuantian sect were eyeing Zhan Chen.


    "Brat, what are youughing for?", the burly eyed man by the side of Chu Haoran looked towards Zhan Chen. Even Hua Xixi looked towards Zhan Chen with a slight confusion on her face.


    "You said why am Iughing? Because it is hrious. Some brainless idiots are barking infront of me. So, whatelse can I do other thanughing at them", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Courting death", the burly man beside Chu Haoran shouted out. He kicked the ground with his foot and shoot straight towards Zhan Chen. They were standing closer to Zhan Chen''s group to begin with. So, it was easy for him tounch an attack from such a close distance.


    The burly man swung his first towards Zhan Chen''s face after closing the distance between them. His speed was so fast that none in Zhan Chen''s group could react to his attack.


    It was not like Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua''s battle instinct was slow rather they were caught off-guard by the sudden attack of the burly man by Chu Haoran''s side. None of them had ever imagined that a disciple would dare to attack Zhan Chen like this.


    When all the spectating disciples thought, Zhan Chen would sent flying, a loud noise was heard.


    "Crack", the noise was of bone breaking came. Xuantian sect disciples saw an unbelievable scene. The indomitable fists of the burly man was being held by Zhan Chen''s hand.


    He twisted the fists of the burly man and a guttural howl was heard in the surrounding.


    "Aaahhh, my hands!", the burly looking man howled loudly.

 Chapter 475 Intervention

    Chapter 475 Intervention


    "Bastard", a furious expression appeared on Chu Haoran''s face after he saw the broken hand of the burly looking man. His gaze became icy as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Careful, Chu Haoran may use a soul attack on you", Huo Xixi had just sent a hasty mentalmunication when a soul strand approached Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Interesting", Zhan Chen''s lips curled upward slightly.


    "Chu Haoran, how can you be so brazen?", suddenly a distance voice came out from the depth of the Xuantian sect''s base. It was Yang Yukong, the peak master of the Sword peak who couldn''t hold back himself anymore after seeing Chu Haoran''s malicious attack.


    He appeared above Chu Haoran and Zhan Chen and gazed downward with an icy expression on his face.


    "Senior, it is just a misunderstanding. I am only probing junior brother Zhan Chen", Chu Haoran exined himself hastily. His voice was slightly nervous because he was not expecting to alert an emperor.


    "You know yourself what you have done. Don''t think you can get away with anything just because of your family backing", Yang Yukong spoke. Chu Haoran felt inwardly furious but he was careful enough to not show his emotion outside.


    "Disciple is wrong. As my punishment, I will personally gift junior brother Zhan Chen a soul nourishing pill", Chu Haoran spoke. His heart was bleeding but he still showed a guilty expression on his face. His acting was so realistic that even Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua felt he was repenting for his mistake.


    "Are you alright?", Yang Yukong turned to look towards Zhan Chen. Although Chu Haoran''s attack was not severe but it could still result in some minor soul injury to Zhan Chen. He felt worried because this matter may blow out of proportion if Zhan Chen was angered as well.


    "Senior, I am alright. I am feeling slightly ufortable but I think, I will be alright after I consume senior brother Haoran''s pill", Zhan Chen spoke. Not only Yang Yukong but also Chu Haoran was taken aback by Zhan Chen''s reply. They couldn''t understand why Zhan Chen was so calm and not angered at all.


    "Alright, don''t cause unnecessary trouble. We are already fighting the devils. So, I will not allow infighting at such a moment. If you have any grievances, you may settle them after we fend off the devil army", Yang Yukong spoke. He was looking towards Chu Haoran but his words were meant for every disciple of the Xuantian sect.


    "We are leaving", Huo Xixi said to her group after Yang Yukong vanished from the sky. "Junior brother, be careful of Chu Haoran. He will not let it go easily", she sent a secret transmission to Zhan Chen before going away.


    "Here is the pill. I am giving it to you but I don''t know whether you are lucky enough to enjoy it", Chu Haoran took out a jade case from his spatial ring and handed it to Zhan Chen. His mood was gloomy as he walked away with his followers.


    "Zhan Chen, I swear I will kill you within three days. Others may be afraid of your Zhan n but I am not", he thought to himself. He didn''t notice, Zhan Chen was looking at him with a calm expression on his face.


    "Like I will give you any chance!", Zhan Chen muttered to himself after seeing through Chu


    Haoran''s thoughts. Chu Haoran''s body stiffened suddenly as he was cursing Zhan Chen inside his mind.


    "Congrattion for bing my ve. Now, you can''t think about revenge even if I call you a dog or a bastard", Zhan Chen spoke. Chu Haoran felt horrified but he knew he couldn''t resist Zhan Chen anymore. Adding to his horror, he was now feeling a deep sense of obeisance towards Zhan Chen. It was like, Zhan Chen was a god and he was his most devout worship.


    "Don''t try to kneel or anything. Keep doing your work as usual. I will find you if I need something", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Yes master", Chu Haoran could reply stiffly. It had been only few seconds, yet his arrogant self had already be a devout ve of Zhan Chen. The techniques recorded in the Dark soul codex had never disappointed Zhan Chen and Chu Haoran was no exception.


    "Junior brother Chen, it is a good thing that senior Yukong has intervened. Otherwise, it may be problematic if youe in blows with Chu Haoran", Jia Lingyi spoke.


    "Problem?", Zhan Chen felt curious. Chu Haoran was also a core disciple like him. So, he didn''t know why everyone was so apprehensive towards him. Beside, Jia Lingyi, even Huo Xixi had warned him about Chu Haoran before leaving.


    "Junior brother Chen, we are still outside. Let''s find a secluded ce first", Sima Chunhua spoke.


    "Sure, I want to know why senior sister Lingyi is looking for me", Zhan Chen replied. Together with Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi, they went towards a cornermost location of the Grey ash city.


    "Senior sister, can you tell me now? What do you want to talk with me?", Zhan Chen asked Jia Lingyi.


    "Junior brother Chen, have you heard about hidden families?", Jia Lingyi asked Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, I have heard a little. But I have yet toe in contact with them", Zhan Chen replied.


    "Then have you heard about four evesting families?", Jia Lingyi asked.


    "Evesting families?", Zhan Chen looked towards Jia Lingyi with a confused expression on his face.


    "You actually have not heard about them? But how is it possible? Considering your status as the heir of the Zhan n, how can you have no information about them?", Jia Lingyi looked towards Zhan Chen with puzzlement on her face.


    "My Zhan n has yet to recoverpletely. It is like an ordinary family untill recently. All of our inheritanced are severed. So, how am I supposed to learn anything about the secrets of the continent?", Zhan Chen spoke. His ancestor, Zhan Lin could have warned him about important secrets but he didn''t mention anything. So, Zhan Chen was clueless about many secrets of the Centralnd.


    "Oh, this is what happened. No wonder, you are not at all wary about Chu Haoran", Jia Lingyi nodded her head in understanding.


    "Fine, I will fill you in. But you have to be careful when discussing about the evesting families. I, myself have not much knowledge. What have I learned about them,e from the recorded history of my family. The information about the evesting families arebelled as top secret for my family descendants", Jia Lingyi spoke.


    "Senior sister, rest assured. I am not a careless person", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 476 Everlasting families

    <h4>Chapter 476 Evesting families</h4>


    "Sisters from the Martial peak, you have to promise as well. You must act like you have heard nothing about our conversation", Jia Lingyi looked towards Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi who were following Zhan Chen.


    "Sister Lingyi, don''t worry. We will keep this conversation a secret", Hui Ling replied. Yin Ran and Xue Yi also nodded their heads as they looked towards Jia Lingyi.


    "Senior sister Lingyi, you can tell us now. I am really curious about these evesting families", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "The term ''Evesting'' itself describes the four mysterious families. ording to my family''s record, the four families exists even before the Spirit pce was founded.


    Spirit pce was founded almost twenty thousand years ago. It is regarded as one of the most ancient power of the Northern desert continent. But even their history can''t bepared with the four Evesting families.


    ording to rumors, the history of the four evesting families stretched back to the Ancient era. The current era started almost twenty six thousand years ago. Before the current era, the era was termed as the Ancient era. There were many proofs that the Ancient era was more glorious and grander than our current era. Compared to their glory and acheivement, we can only be seen as fireflyes infront of a glorious dragon.


    "So much difference? What exactly the Ancient era was like?", Sima Chunhua eximed.


    "Emperors were plenty. Sages taught the dao of cultivation in almost every sects. Beside humans, other races were also flourishing. In some sects, magical beasts were cultivating along with human cultivators. There were learned sages who had gained insight about the Spatialw. With their help, grand teleportation formations were built across the continent. Some teleportation formations were so impressive that they were connected to outside worlds", Jia Lingyi spoke softly. There was a look of yearning on her otherworldly face as she described about the Ancient era.


    "It is indeed the truth. The ancient era was really impressive. But no one knew what happened suddenly. Many major powers vanished all of a sudden and the magical beasts isted themselves. The glory of the ancients gradually withered and the current era gradually came to be. I have heard that the reason was a massive battle back then. Almost every continent in our Seven sea suffered the same fate", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "This is why the evesting families are impressive. The world has gone through many tribtions and battles across the past twenty thousand years. Yet, the evesting families are able to ovee all odds and still retained their inheritances from the ancient era. With the inheritances from the past, you can only imagine how their strength must be", Jia Lingyi spoke.


    "They are indeed impressive. If they managed to retain the teachings of the ancient era, then their strength must have soared in the past thousands of years", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "That''s why, It is a good thing that you don''t exchange blows with Chu Haoran. Otherwise with his petty personality, he will bring endless troubles for you", Jia Lingyi spoke. From her words, everyone could deduce that Chu Haoran had some connection with the evesting families.


    "Chu Haoran''s Chu family is not itself very impressive. They are merely among the seven most powerful hidden families in the Centralnd. My Ji family is also a hidden family and we always have an edge over the Chu family when ites to talent and martial might. But this situation turned when Chu Haoran''s father married to a woman from the Evesting families. Since then, the situation started to be more challenging for other hidden families. Chu family has be arrogant and overbearing with the backing of the evesting families", Jia Lingyi further exined. Sima Chunhua, Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi became surprised after they learned the connection between Chu Haoran and the evesting families.


    "Junior brother Chen, you need to be careful around Chu Haoran. With the backing from the evesting families, he will not put your Zhan n in his eyes", Jia Lingyi warned.


    "Junior brother, sister Lingyi is telling the truth. You can''t be reckless while dealing with Chu Haoran", Sima Chunhua adviced as well. A hint of worry rose in her heart after she learned the connection between Chu Haoran and the evesting families.


    "Everyone, there is no need to worry. I promise, there will be no friction between Chu Haoran and myself. I will not do anything reckless without gathering sufficient information about the evesting families", Zhan Chen spoke. Unlike the worried girls, he was not at all troubled by Chu Haoran''s connection with the evesting families.


    ''Seems like, I have to check the memory of my new ve. I have to know whether these evesting families are friend or enemy of my Zhan n'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    "Junior brother, the reason I want to see you is not Chu Haoran. Rather, I want to know whether you are nning to join any group among the core disciples?", Jia Lingyi asked.


    "Junior brother, you may not know but the core disciples of the Xuantian sect are divided into various groups. There are intensepetition among the core disciples. So, it is always beneficial to join a group rather than struggling alone", Sima Chunhua exined.


    "Senior sister Lingyi, I understand your intention. Joining a group is not a big matter for me. So, you may include me in your group if that is what you want. But you have to promise me one thing. I don''t want any restrictions in whatever I am doing", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Junior brother, rest assured. We will never disturb you unless it is very urgent. With you in our Heavenly swallow alliance, we can resist the pressure from other groups", Jia Lingyi spoke. She bade farewell to Zhan Chen alongwith Sima Chunhua after finishing her conversation with Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen turned his head to look towards Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi after Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua left. "Xue Yi, I have promised to spend some time with you before leaving the Grey ash city. Now that the battle is over, I want you to apany me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, as you wish", Xue Yi replied with a deep blush on her face. Her heart started to beat faster as she sneaked a nce towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior brother, you can''t forget about us. We are ready to serve you, whenever you want", Hui Ling spoke. Yin Ran didn''t speak anything but from her fervent gaze, Zhan Chen could see thorough her desire.


    "Don''t be impatient. I have sufficient time at my hand. Both of you should cultivate while I admire the moon with Xue Yi", Zhan Chen spoke.

    <h4>Chapter 477 Watching the moon with Xue Yi</h4>


    "Senior brother, it will be hard to concentrate while waiting for you. But we will still try to do our best", Hui Ling spoke. She was not at all shy as sheid her desire bare infront of Zhan Chen.


    "I know. Waiting is troublesome but you still have to cultivate. All three of you have gone through a battle now. So, it is the best time to absorb your gains and stabilze your foundation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, we understand. We will leave sister Yi with you", Yin Ran spoke. Both of them had meaningful expression on their faces as they looked towards Xue Yi. Xue Yi''s face reddened immediately as she turned her face sideway to avoid looking at her sisters.


    Her face was not thick as her sisters. Despite doing it once with Zhan Chen, she was still feeling shy when discussing such matters. So, she couldn''t look at her sisters at all when they teased her with such meaningful looks.


    "Sister Yi, you are looking so beautiful. Make sure to utilise this chance properly. Who knows when can we cultivation with senior brother Chen again", Hui Ling spoke. She took a nce at Zhan Chen''s face before leaving with Yin Ran.


    "This vixen! She is trying to provoke me with her words. I will punish her properly after finishing our matter", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled Xue Yi closer while watching the distant figures of Yin Ran and Hui Ling.


    "Sister Ling is always direct. She never conceal her emotion like other girls", Xue Yi softly spoke. She was also watching while her sisters were walking towards the distance.


    Zhan Chen had wrapped his hand around her waist. His strong hand was giving a sense of security to her. She was cotent just by standing closer to Zhan Chen like this.


    "Then are you hiding your emotion like other girls?", Zhan Chen looked towards Xue Yi. Her picture perfect face appeared more charming to him with the faint blush painted on her cheeks.


    "Senior brother, I really wish to stand by your side. If possible, I wish I can help you like senior Liying", Xue Yi spoke. Her voice was soft and melodious which gently stirred Zhan Chen''s heart.


    "The path of cultivation is treacherous and full of obstacles. As a cultivator who thirsts to stand at the peak, I can''t possible slow my pace. So, if you want to follow me, you have to put in hard work. I will help you as much as I can but how much you can progress will ultimately depend upon you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, I am not afraid of hardships. I will try to follow your footsteps and try to increase my cultivation realm as much as possible", Xue Yi spoke. Her eyes were determined as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Your talent is better than your sisters but you have to refrain from taking any rash decisions. Cultivation is like climbing mountains. You have to be steady and stable if you want to walk farthest. Sprinting while climbing a mountain will take you nowhere. So, never do anything foolish just to chase my back. I will explore all my options to increase your realm", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, I will listen to you", Xue Yi spoke. But inwardly she swore to herself that she would do anything to stand side by side with Zhan Chen. Her determination and stubbornness would propel her further and brought great tribtion for her. But Zhan Chen had no way to know her inner thoughts as he was not using his Heart seeking technique. He held Xue Yi by her waist and brought her to her assigned quarter.


    Zhan Chen pulled her in for a kiss as soon as they entered her quarter. Xue Yi also responded passionately as both of them tried to express their desire for eachother through their lips.


    Xue Yi''s lips were soft and mellow. Zhan Chen felt like he could kiss them forever as he nibbled on her lips passionately. Their lipssted for almost fifteen minutes before both of them separated.


    Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and found a wooden bed in her room. He pulled her alongwith him and brought her to her bed room.


    "Xue Yi, remove your clothes. I want to see you", Zhan Chen spoke. me of desire was burning in his eyes as he looked towards Xue Yi.


    "Okay", Xue Yi replied with a murmur. Her heart was beating loudly since Zhan Chen''s lips touched her own. She could feel that her body was already heating up. Zhan Chen''s burning gaze only made her body react faster.


    She removed her sect robe and proceeded to remove her white undergarments. Her peerless beauty slowly unraveled infront of Zhan Chen''s burning eyes.


    "Senior brother, am I to your liking?", Xue Yi gently asked.


    "Very much", Zhan Chen gulped his saliva and replied her.


    "Then I am relieved. My only fear is that if you for some reason dislike me", Xue Yi spoke. There was tender emotion and faint expectation in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Even an eunuch can''t dislike you. As for me, I feel really blessed", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled Xue Yi closer again and pressed his lips on her lips.


    Xue Yi felt faint heating from Zhan Chen''s lower body. Her cheeks reddened further as she shared a kiss with Zhan Chen.


    "Senior brother, you can lie down. I know what to do to make youfortable", Xue Yi softly proposed. Zhan Chen could only gulp his saliva and nodded at her proposal.


    He removed his own clothes before lying down on her bed. Xue Yi felt her heartbeat quickened when her eyes fell upon the mighty dragon. She climbed her bed and wrapped her fingers around Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    She was watching Zhan Chen''s reaction as she gently stroke Zhan Chen''s dragon. She had no experience in this regard but she tried to adjust her hand speed by judging Zhan Chen''s facial reaction.


    She had received some guidance from her sisters. So, she tried to apply her learning while pleasing Zhan Chen. Her hand felt soft and warm. Veins started to throb on Zhan Chen''s dragon as Xue Yi stroked it with her hand.


    Xue Yi felt mesmerized and curious by Zhan Chen''s dragon. It rapidly grew in size and now began to emit more heat, the more she stroke it with her hand.


    "Senior brother, am I doing it right?", Xue Yi asked while stroking Zhan Chen''s dragon. It was her first time while applying her learning in practical.

 Chapter 478 World was in chaos but Zhan Chen...

    <h4>Chapter 478 World was in chaos but Zhan Chen...</h4>


    "Yes, you are doing great", Zhan Chen spoke with an encouraging expression on his face. His dragon started to twitch in anticipation as he saw the diligent and caring expression on Xue Yi''s face.


    "Senior brother, you can lie downfortably. I promise I will do my best", Xue Yi spoke while stroking Zhan Chen''s dragon. She felt very pleased in her heart as she saw the enjoying expression on Zhan Chen''s face.


    "Xue Yi, use your mouth. I think it will feel much better that way", Zhan Chen spoke. He felt he would burst a hole in the sky if Xue Yi continued to stroke his dragon like this.


    "Okay", Xue Yi replied. There was no hint of hesitation in her part as she brought her mouth closer to Zhan Chen''s dragon. She struck out her tongue and started to lick Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    ''How can this be? Her every action is like torture'', Zhan Chen thought to himself. Xue Yi herself was unaware but each of her action was like a sweet torture for Zhan Chen. Her movement was gentle and she was licking Zhan Chen''s dragon like how a kitten would lick her food. Zhan Chen felt he couldn''t endure anymore after Xue Yi continued like this for a while. His dragon was already twitching fiercely after enduring the teasing of Xue Yi''s tongue for such a long period.


    "Xue Yi, stop. I can''t wait any longer", Zhan Chen spoke. His voice was slightly hurried as he was doing his best to contain his desire from exploding.


    He sat up and pushed Xue Yi towards the bed. Her long and fair legs were like an alluring temptation which attracted his attention. He ced a kiss on her ankle and continued upward. He ced a kiss on her meaty thighs before pushing apart her legs. Her alluring secret garden was waiting for him after he pushed apart her legs.


    Xue Yi''s face waspletely reddened at the time as her body heat up gradually. Faint desire was swirling in her eyes as she enjoyed Zhan Chen''s groping and touch.


    "Nnnn~", a sweet moan came out from her mouth when Zhan Chen''s tongue touched her secret garden. It was an otherworldly feeling for her as a wave of pleasure coarsed through her body.


    "Looks like you are ready already. I do not have to much", Zhan Chenmented after teasing her secret garden for few times. She waspletely wet down below. So, he thought it would be best if he started right away.


    He was already having difficulty in holding back himself. So, he straightaway pushed his spear into the embrace of Xue Yi''s sacred cave.


    Xue Yi''s eyes became slightly watery as she endured the assault of Zhan Chen''s dragon. She looked towards Zhan Chen with gentle desire and emotion in her eyes. No matter how fiercely Zhan Chen''s desire was raging, he had to slow down after seeing the look in her eyes. She was a very gentle girl. So, Zhan Chen felt it would be inappropriate if he vent his desire on her body fiercely. Her demeanor was such that no one could be fierce at her even during dual cultivation.


    He could only take things slowly which was like a sweet torture for him. The only sce was that his dragon was inside her cave while he proceeded to kiss her lips. He gradually increased the pace of his trusts while both of their mouths were entangled with eachother.


    Xue Yi didn''t know when her mind went nk as she faced the storm of passion. Zhan Chen didn''t let her go even after she released her yin water. After giving her few moments of breathing space, he again pushed his spear towards her cave.


    "Senior brother, I like you very much", Xue Yi softly whispered. Her eyes were gentle and weing as she braced herself to face Zhan Chen''s assault.


    "Xue Yi, you are too charming. My only fear is that I can''t hold back myself and hurt you in the peocess", Zhan Chen spoke. His dragon was already inside her cave while he was talking with Xue Yi.


    "Senior brother, no need to hold back yourself. I will be alright", Xue Yi hastily replied. She didn''t want to disappoint her senior brother no matter what happened.


    "Silly girl, I need to hold back myself, the more you talk like this", Zhan Chen spoke. She wanted to speak something in retort but Zhan Chen didn''t give her any chance. Both of their lips connected as they shared a passionate kiss between them.


    "Don''t worry. We can take things slowly. You are already my woman. So, there is no point in pushing things", Zhan Chen spoke. Xue Yi nodded her head infront of Zhan Chen''s gentle gaze.


    ''But sister Ran and sister Ling tell that senior brother like it from behind. Is it okay if we continue like this?'', Xue Yi thought to herself after the kiss. She wanted to say it to Zhan Chen but she was too ashamed to say such a thing.


    "Don''tpare yourself with those two vixens. But if you want, we can change position", Zhan Chen spoke. He was using the Heart seeking technique. So, he could easily see through her thoughts.


    "Senior brother, how did you know?", Xue Yi asked with amazement in her face. Her inner thoughts werepletely exposed infront of Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    "I have a specific technique through which I can read your thoughts. My question is whether you like to switch our position?", Zhan Chen spoke. He continued to give her gentle thrusts while waiting for her answer.


    "Senior brother, we can try if you like it", Xue Yi replied. Zhan Chen was sure that she would agree to each of his wish, no matter how ridiculous his ideas were.


    "Xue Yi, you are too likeable", Zhan Chen gave her a quick kiss on her lips. Xue Yi shifted her body posture on her own after Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon. Now her alluring back was facing Zhan Chen''s twitching dragon.


    Zhan Chen stretched both of his hands and gave a squeeze to both of her buttocks. Her jad white skin reddened slightly after Zhan Chen squeezed them.


    "Xue Yi, we are staring", Zhan Chen gave her a warning before thrusting his dragon inside her cave. Xue Yi involuntarily tightened her walls around his dragon which gave him a great amount of pleasure.


    "Senior brother, I am ready", Xue Yi replied. Her body was slightly tense. So, she didn''t realise that her wall was tightly gripping Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen massaged her buttocks a little which loosened up her nerves. He started to pound her slowly and Xue Yi let out involuntary moans.


    She didn''t realise when Zhan Chen increased his pace but she was now facing a tumultuous wave. Her mind was already in disarray as waves after waves of pleasure coarsed through her body.


    "Senior brother, I can''t hold myself anymore", Xue Yi spoke. Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from her cave and a small stream of yin water slid out from her cave. Her body was trembling as she felt weak in her knees. The pleasure was overwhelming for her. So, she turned her body and lied down on her back to rest a little.


    "Senior brother, can we stop a little? I will be alright after some rest", Xue Yi spoke. Her face was apologetic because she could see the twitching dragon of Zhan Chen.


    "You have already learned the Yin nourishment technique, right?", Zhan Chen asked Xue Yi.


    "Yes, sister Ran shared it with me", Xue Yi replied.


    "That is good. Cultivate properly after we are finished. I am going to see your sisters after cultivating with you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, I understand. Please give me few minutes more", Xue Yi spoke.

 Chapter 479 Treacherous devils

    <h4>Chapter 479 Treacherous devils</h4>


    Zhan Chen leaned forward for a kiss while Xue Yi was resting. She responded warmly as she wrapped her hands around Zhan Chen''s back. Both of their lips connected as they lost themselves in eachother ''s lips.


    Zhan Chen massaged Xue Yi''s snow white peaks while kissing her. Xue Yi looked towards Zhan Chen with shimmering desire in her eyes after they finished the kiss. There was faint expectation and desire in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior brother, you can continue. I am ready now", she spoke with a low voice. Her shy voice alongwith the expectation in her eyes made Zhan Chen fired up again.


    He pushed apart her thighs and entered her cave with a single thrust. A faint moan escaped Xue Yi''s mouth as she felt the shimmering hot dragon inside her cave.


    Zhan Chen held her thighs and started to move his waist. The enchanting body of Xue Yi was firing up his desire. He started to give some deep thrusts and Xue Yi moaned out enchantingly. Her sweet moans were like aphrodisiacs which encouraged Zhan Chen to do more.


    He increased his pace gradually and Xue Yi reached the zenith in no time. This time Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon before she could release her yin water. Xue Yi felt surprised as she looked towards Zhan Chen with a confused expression on his face.


    Before she could ask anything, Zhan Chen crouched down near her face and brought his dragon closer to her mouth. Xue Yi understood his intention and moved up her face instinctively.


    She opened her mouth and epted Zhan Chen''s dragon inside. Zhan Chen held her hair gently and started to move his waist. Waves of pleasure coarsed through his body as he explored the warm inside of Xue Yi''s mouth. Xue Yi tried to co-operate as she wrapped her tongue around Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    His dragon was throbbing fiercely when he finally pulled out his dragon Xue Yi''s mouth. He went back to pounding her again as Xue Yi let out sweetest moans.


    This time both of them reached the peak at the same time and yin water and yang essence gushed forth. Zhan Chen gave a deep thrust inside Xue Yi''s cave and painted her inside white. Xue Yi pulled Zhan Chen gently and Zhan Chen understood her intention. He leaned forward for a kiss and Xue reciptocated passionately.


    "Senior brother, thank you very much. Today is one of the most happiest days in my life", Xue Yi spoke after they finished the kiss. Her gaze was soft and full of tender love as she stared at Zhan Chen.


    "If you put it like this, I will be tempted to stay here for entire night. I would really like to taste you thoroughly before looking for your sisters", Zhan Chen spoke. He stretched his hand and started to knead Xue Yi''s peaks.


    "Senior brother, I should cultivate. I can''t be selfish and keep you to myself. Moreover even if I want, I don''t have the capability to keep you for an entire night", Xue Yi spoke. Her cheeks reddened as she spoke thest sentence. She couldn''t help herself but take a look towards Zhan Chen''s dragon which was still looking fierce even after such a long passionate season.


    Zhan Chen bade her farewell after sharing another kiss with her. Xue Yi was like a ball of softness and gentleness which kept him upied for a while.


    ''Ah! She is really charming. Unfortunately, we can''t keep going longer. Anyway, let''s see what her sisters are doing'', Zhan Chen thought to herself after leaving Xue Yi''s room.


    He was walking towards the living quarters of Hui Ling and Yin Ran when he received a mentalmunication from Shui Liying.


    "Husband,e to the meeting hall. It is very urgent this time. I, myself don''t know much but senior brother Yukong wants you to attend the meeting", Shui Liying spoke.


    ''Is this about the devils?'', Zhan Chen murmured to himself after listening to Shui Liying''s words. A pondering expression appeared on his face as he stopped in his track.


    ''I have to inform these two vixens though. I willpensate them properly after the meeting is over'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    He spread his soul consciousness and found both Hui Ling and Yin Ran inside a living quarter. Both of them were sitting face to face and talking among themselves.


    "Both of you may have to wait a little more. There is an urgent meeting among the elders. So, I have to go", both Hui Ling and Yin Ran suddenly received a mentalmunication in their minds. A smile lit up in both of their faces after they heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "Senior brother, we can wait. Please go and attend the meeting first", Hui Ling spoke. Yin Ran also nodded her head to convey her opinion to Zhan Chen.


    "Stop gettingcent. Cultivate properly when I am not present", Zhan Chen chided both Hui Ling and Yin Ran. He walked towards the meeting hall after talking with both the girls.


    The meeting hall was arge spacious hall located in the first floor of the mansion. At this moment, there was a tense atmosphere in the meeting hall when Zhan Chen entered. He saw two familiar faces standing with the elders. They were Chu Haoran and Hua Xixi whom he had met earlier.


    "Everyone is here. Let us begin", Yang Yukong spoke. His deep voice reveberated across the surrounding.


    "When did you get here?", Zhan Chen sent a mental message to Chu Haoran.


    "Master, I have arrived just before you. I am in the midst of my cultivation session when I get the message to gather here", Chu Haoran replied. He was connected with Zhan Chen through the ve seal. So, their conversation go unnoticed in such a tense atmosphere.


    "Everyone, let me inform you about the recent news that we have received", Ying Chao came forward and looked towards the gathered crowd.


    "We are not the only ones to face the devil forces tonight. Apparently, almost every forward bases like our Grey ash city have faced an attack. Although it seems like, we have sessfully thwarted the devils'' advances, it is not the case.


    Instead, our Sky dragon alliance got yed in devils'' hands", Ying Chao spoke. His face was solemn and serious as he looked towards all the gathered cultivators.


    "Elder Chao, what do you mean? Can you borate?", an aged elder looked towards Ying Chao. Other elders also looked towards Ying Chao with puzzled expression on their faces. They couldn''t understand how the devils could y a trick despite their defeat in recent battle.


    "Let me answer the question for you. The battle tonight was only an attack to act as a diversion. The true goal of devils'' were to invade the western province. They sent few of their powerful experts and had taken over few of the big cities.


    As soon as they took control of the cities, they have started to butched the citizens'' there. By the time out experts'' cross the Shredded mountain range to reach there, it is already toote. They are sacrificing the entire poption of few big cities to open up a spatial gate", Yang Yukong spoke. Every cultivator felt a chill in spine after they heard the words of Yang Yukong. A nightmarish dream turned out to be a reality for the Northern desert continent.

 Chapter 480 Announcement

    <h4>Chapter 480 Announcement</h4>


    "Sacrificing the entire poption of a city?", Zhan Chen murmured with a frown on his face. There was shock and disbelief in other cultivators'' eyes as they started to talk among themselves in hushed voice.


    The battle among the cultivators was always brutal. It could im thousands of life in any day. But the battle among the cultivators never involved ordinary mortals in the Northern desert continent. It was an unwritten rule in the cultivation world and none dare breach this rule no matter how vile characteristics a cultivator had.


    If some cultivator dare to break this taboo, then he would bebelled as demonic cultivator and would be haunted down by almost every cultivator in the Northern desert continent. This was the reason why Northern desert continent had few memories of such brutal mass ughter where countless mortals would be butchered in a single day.


    Such unwritten rule managed to give the ordinary mortals an illusion of piece. People thought that they would be fine as long as they didn''t antagonize powerful cultivators.


    This illusion of piece finally shattered and it reminded the cruelty of the cultivation world to the Northern desert continents'' people by the hardest way possible. In a single day, almost one million people got butchered by the devil forces. The devils had killed so many just because they wanted to summon a spatial gate.


    This act seemed extremely evil and cruel but this was the hard reality of the cultivation world. Many were shaken by this news but Zhan Chen was not that affected like others. He had already experienced the cruelty of such a mass ughter in his past life. Moreover, those who involved in such a mass ughter was not devils but humans of the same race.


    "All of you must have realised by now, how precarious our situation is. We only have one option, to win. Otherwise the same fate awaits all of us. I loathe those bastards from other forces who are still ying mind games in the dark", Yang Yukong spoke. His words were slightly coarse but it appropriately described the current situation of the Northern desert continent.


    "Golden serpent sect, Silver Star pavilion, Violet moon sect, Wu n, Jade orchid pavilion, thanks for lending your strength to us in such a tough period. Our Xuantian sect also thanks other powers who hase to assist us during such a difficult time. The Sky dragon alliance has named elder Ying Chao as one of the nine generals. He wouldd our Xuantian sect in the uing battles. Hopefully, all of you continue to co-operate with us and assist elder Chao in our uing battles", Shui Liying spoke. She looked towards the elders from different factions while pronouncing their faction names.


    "Peak master, you are too polite. Our Sliver star pavilion is lucky to have Xuantian sect lead us during the battle. We will follow themand of elder Chao in the uing battles", an emperor spoke soon after Shui Liying finished speaking her words. He was an emperor like Yang Yukong and Shui Liying but he acted politely while talking to Shui Liying. Emperors from other factions also expressed their support to Ying Chao once the emperor from Silver Star pavilion finished his words. A smile appeared on Shui Liying''s face after seeing how united the allied forces of the Xuantian sect were.


    "Let me say the unpleasant words first. All of you most listen to elder Chao''s orders, once this meeting is over. Whoever does not obey themand and drag down hisrades during the uing battles will be be punished by the Sky dragon alliance. If anyone has any objection, they may express it in this meeting. After this meeting, no grievances from anyone will be entertained", Yang Yukong spoke. His voice was stern as he looked towards every cultivators present.


    "You may take over from here", he spoke to Ying Chao.


    "Everyone, thanks for your support. Hopefully, we can co-operate untill we drive away the devil forces", Ying Chao spoke. He cupped his hands towards every cultivators and other senior elders cupped their hands towards him in reply. Ying Chao began with few humble words to adress the crowd.


    "Many of you are already informed. But those who do not know, let me tell you the structure of our Sky dragon alliance", Ying Chao spoke.


    Sky dragon alliance has its alliance master at the top. Beneath him, there are four protectors. Sect master of our Xuantian sect is one of the four protectors. Below protectors, there are nine generals who will lead the troops of the Sky dragon alliance into battle.


    Every general is independent of eachother. They can choose fourmanders each who will assist them in the battle. Below the position ofmander, there are captains and each captain can have maximum ten squard leaders under them.


    A squard can have minimum thirty members and maximum fifty members. How the squards are organised are upto the generals to decide. So, let''s move on to the part ofmanders first. Today, I will appoint fourmanders who will assist me in the uing battles", Ying Chao spoke. His voice was calm and steady as he looked towards the crowd present.


    Many tribtion realm elders felt nervous as well as expectant when Ying Chao''s gaze swept past them. All of them are hopeful for bing one of the fourmanders.


    I have forgot to mention one thing. Sky dragon alliance has adopted a fair method to give away a position. As long as amander has required amount of contribution points, he can apply to be a general. As long as amander has sufficient points, he can challenge any general he wants. In exchange of all of his contribution points, he will have a chance to duel with a general. Such battles will be overseen by the protectors and as long as amander manage to defeat a general, he can rece the said general.


    This benefit is not only limited to themanders, rather the captains, squard leaders and the ordinary squard members can also im this benefit. All of them will have a chance to be promoted as long as they have enough contribution points. Moreover, they do not have to duel for a position. As long as they fulfill some specific requirements, they can be promoted", Ying Chao spoke.


    "But, I must give few words of caution. Themanders have absolute authority over the captains and the captains have absolute authority over the squard leaders. In no circumstances, indiscipline will be tolerated during the uing battle. Everyone have to listen to their superiors. If there are anyin of indiscipline, the miscreat will be punished strictly. Sky dragon alliance has permitted the death penalty in case of severe indiscipline", he further added.


    His final words were especially heavy which poured a bucket of cold water over the excited cultivators. Noises died downpletely as everyone waited for Ying Chao to announce the name of the fourmanders.

 Chapter 481 Stunned crowd

    <h4>Chapter 481 Stunned crowd</h4>


    "Li Wei, step out. I am appointing you as the firstmander", Ying Chao spoke. He looked towards a burly elder who was standing among the Xuantian sect experts.


    "Senior, many thanks. I will do my best as amander", the burly elder stepped out and bowe his head to express his gratitude. His cultivation was at thete stage of Heavenly tribtion realm and his aura was very fierce. So, no one had any objection as Li Wei was selected as the firstmander.


    Ying Chao looked around as he examined the crowd to identify the second candidate. His gaze finally stopped on a lean old man who was standing among the Xuantian sect elders. The elder appeared quite old but he appeared to be a capable fighter.


    Zhan Chen learned his identity after Ying Chao called him out. "Zhi Jiang, step out. I am appointing you as the secondmander", Ying Chao spoke.


    The old man was startled for a moment but he nodded his head calmly. He stepped out and walked forward to stand beside Li Wei. "Brother Chao, thanks for beleiving in me. I will do my utmost to assist you in the uing battles", the old man spoke as he bowed politely towards Ying Chao.


    Many experts had perplexed expression on their faces as they witnessed the second appointment. All of them knew Li Wei as he was quite popr among the Xuantian sect elders but as for Zhi Jiang, many had no information about him.


    "Everyone, elder Jiang is one of the peak guarding experts of our Xuantian sect. He was guarding the zing fire peak for thest hundred years. So, it is natural that most of you have never heard about him", Shui Liying spoke. Generally emperors could not be bothered with minor natters but she was too considerate. She revealed Zhi Jiang''s identity after seeing the puzzled expression on many experts'' faces.


    "Many thanks senior. We have never thought that one of the peak guarding elders has left the Xuantian sect territory", the confused experts bowed their heads to show gratitude to Shui Liying. Now, there was a respectful look on their faces when they looked towards Zhi Jiang.


    Everyone in the Centralnd had heard about the peak guarding elders of the Xuantian sect. They were powerful experts who had relinquished mundane matters to focus on their cultivation path. Without any extraordinary circumstances, they never left the peak which they were guarding.


    "I am nning to choose the thirdmander from our allied forces. Let me think who will be the most suitable candidate for the position of the thirdmander", Ying Chao spoke. He looked towards the crowd as his gaze swept past the experts present.


    The Golden serpent sect, the Silver Star pavilion, the Violet moon sect, Wu n, the Jade orchid pavilion, Xuantian sect had many allied forces supporting them in this battle. Now that thirdmander was going to be choosen among them, many experts felt nervous yet expectant. There were many hopeful eyes when Ying Chao examined the experts present.


    "Brother Hui Guo, are you willing to be the thirdmander?", Ying Chao looked towards a stout looking elder who was standing in the back of the crowd. He had a carefree expression at first but his facial expression changed as soon as he heard Ying Chao''s words.


    "Ying Chao, you cunning bitch, don''t involve me in your mess. I am only here to protect the disciples of my Golden serpent sect", the stout looking eldershed out immediately. There was a stunned silence among the crowd as they heard the profanitiesing naturally from the old man''s mouth. No one could beleive that someone would use such uncouthnguages in such a solemn atmosphere.


    There was disbelief in the onlookers''s eyes but Ying Chao was nonchnt. His expression didn''t change at all even after he heard the profanities directed at him. "Brother Hui Guo, I am only being considerate towards you. If you don''t ept, I will let junior sister Lin Jia lead you all to battle. Don''t cry then if you got driven by your nose", Ying Chao calmly spoke.


    "Lin Jia! Why would she get to lead us all? She is not even present in the Grey ash city", Hui Guo loudly protested.


    "Who said she is not present? Ask the members of the Jade orchid pavilion, whether she is inside the Grey ash city or not", Ying Chao smiled slightly. Hui Guo clenched his fists furiously as he observed the calm expression on Ying Chao ''s face.


    "Fine, you win. I will acknowledge you as the general for a while", Hui Guo spoke. He stepped out from behind the crowd and came to stand alongwith Li Wei and Zhi Jiang. He didn''t even bother to greet Ying Chao as stood beside the twomanders.


    "It is decided then. Brother Hui Guo will be the thirdmander", Ying Chao announced. Zhan Chen felt slightly amused as he witnessed the interaction between Ying Chao and Hui Guo.


    "As for the fourthmander, I have already decided his name since my appointment as a general. My decision may startle many of you but I believe in my decision", Ying Chao spoke. He turned to look towards the ce where Zhan Chen, Chu Haoran and Huo Xixi were standing.


    "Zhan Chen, step forward. I am appointing you as the fourthmander", Ying Chao spoke. Both Huo Xixi and Chu Haoran was stunned by Ying Chao''s words but Zhan Chen waspletely calm at this moment.


    "Senior, are you sure?", he raised head and asked Ying Chao.


    "I stand by my decision. What I want to know is whether you are confident or not?", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "It is slightly troublesome but it is not something I can''t handle", Zhan Chen replied.


    "I am assured then. You may step forward", Ying Chao spoke. Zhan Chen walked to the forefront amidst many questioning eyes.


    Hui Guo examined Zhan Chen alongwith other experts. A surprised expression appeared on his face when he couldn''t see through Zhan Chen''s cultivation base. ''This old fool, he really knows how to y games. This brat appear too tender on the surface but people will be damned if they undermine him due to his appearance'', he thought to himself.


    Zhan Chen stepped forward and came to stand beside Hui Guo, Li Wei and Zhi Jiang. His expression was nonchnt from beginning to end as he calmly stood alongwith othermanders.


    "General Chao, are you joking with us? How can you appointment someone as young as him to be amander?", an old man questioned Ying Chao. Many others stared towards Ying Chao as they waited for an exnation.

 Chapter 482 Proving his capability

    <h4>Chapter 482 Proving his capability</h4>


    "General Chao, please give us an answer. How can someone as young as him possibly lead us to battle?", another elder chimed in. Within few moments, discontent voices could be heard from the entire crowd.


    The cultivators who were raising their voices mostly came from the allied forces. Most of the elders from the Xuantian sect were silent as they were aware about Zhan Chen''s capability. Beside his own impressive strength, he had strong backing inside the Xuantian sect. So, many of them were sensible enough to not cause any trouble for Zhan Chen.


    Still, a portion of the Xuantian sect''s elders were causing trouble. They had their own agenda in mind as they kept fanning the trouble for Zhan Chen.


    "Seniors, there is no need to cause a ruckus. Instead, you can send a representative who will have a duel with me infront of everyone", Zhan Chen spoke. His voice was not loud but his words were clearly heard by everyone present.


    "Everyone, you have heard Zhan Chen. Now, one of you can step forward and challenge Zhan Chen. As long as Zhan Chen can fend off ten of your moves, the battle will be considered a draw", Ying Chao spoke. He nced towards the cultivators who were causing trouble for Zhan Chen.


    "Very well, I will be shameless for once. As long as the fourthmander can fend off five of my moves, I will consider it as my loss", a lean and tall old man spoke. No one stopped him as he stepped forward and came to the forefront to challenge Zhan Chen.


    "This old man is elder Wu Yong. His palm techniques are rather fierce. Is Zhan Chen going to be alright?", Yang Yukong sent a voice transmission to Shui Liying who was sitting next to him. He was slightly worried because he knew how tyrannical Wu n''s palm techniques were.


    "Senior brother, no need to worry. He will be alright. We don''t have to intervene", Shui Liying replied. Yang Yukong nodded his head but he was still focused on Zhan Chen''s position. He was determined to intervene if Zhan Chen''s life was in danger.


    "Senior, shall we step outside the city?", Zhan Chen cupped his hands towards Wu Yong.


    "Do as you wish", Wu Yong replied in an expressionless voice. Zhan Chen was the first to leave the hall. He flew out from the hall and left the periphery of the Grey ash city. Ying Chao and the others were following closely behind him as the entire crowd of powerful experts left the Grey ash city.


    "What is going on? Why the elders are leaving the Grey ash city?", the disciples guarding the city wall talked among themselves. All of them felt tensed because they had just experienced a tiresome battle with the devils.


    "Don''t tell me another wave of devils areing?", a Core Condensation realm disciple asked with a scared expression. His hands were already sweating as he looked towards other disciples.


    "Sun Hong, don''t spout nonsense. We can''t say anything without confirmation. I have heard that all the elders are gathered because it is the coronation ceremony of senior Chao. Now, I can''t understand why all of them leave the Grey ash city together", a stern yet pleasant voice came out from the distant. The gathered disciples turned towards the source of the voice to find that Sima Chunhua was walking towards them.


    "Senior sister Chunhua", the disciples on guard duty immediately greeted Sima Chunhua. They felt greatly startled because another beauty silently appeared by the side of Sima Chunhua. No one could perceive anything, how she appeared. She didn''t mind the surrounding disciples. Her gaze was on the distant location where Zhan Chen had gone.


    "Sister Lingyi, you are here as well", Sima Chunhua spoke. Her tense heart calmed down slightly after Jia Lingyi appeared.


    "I don''t think, the devils are attacking. The elders'' departure is for another purpose. Even the emperors have left the city", Jia Lingyi murmured. Her voice was low but it was still audible to the surrounding disciples.


    "Even the emperors have left! What is going on here?", the disciples on guard duty felt puzzled. But they were not worried as much as before because two core disciples were present alongside them.


    "Earth incinerating palm", in the distance Wu Yongunched a two man tall palm towards Zhan Chen. The palm was burning with crimson irs as it crashed on Zhan Chen.


    "This bastard what is he thinking? He thinks he can do as he please just because Zhan Chen is a junior", Yang Yukong frowned. Even the always calm Shui Liying had a change of expression as she witnessed Wu Yong''s opening attack.


    "Earth is kind, heaven is vast. Heart sword, Sacred luminescence", Zhan Chen muttered. A frightening sword aura came out from his body which dispelled the suppression of Earth incinerating palm.


    He swung his sword, Celestial night and a blinding light went piercing towards the two man tall Earth incinerating palm. To the surprise of onlookers, there was no collision between two attacks. Instead, the domineering Earth incinerating palm got pierced. The blinding light continued forward and went piercing towards Wu Yong ''s chest.


    "Courting death", Wu Yong yelled out. He felt furious because Zhan Chen dare to attack him even in such a situation. He waved his hand and a palm materialized before his chest. His fury soared because he witnessed how easily Zhan Chen dodged his Earth incinerating palm. It was absolutely normal for Zhan Chen to dodge an attack in a battle but Wu Yong felt it was disrespecting to him.


    After parrying Zhan Chen''s attack, he made certain hand seals and a burning w appeared infront of him. "Crimson dragon w", he shouted out and sent the attack crashing towards Zhan Chen.


    ''This Wu Yong seems to have some personal vendetta against husband. I need to investigate him after this battle'', Shui Liying thought to herself as the burning w descended upon Zhan Chen''s head.


    "Heaven splitting sword", Zhan Chen swung his sword upward and a vertical sh went flying towards the burning w. To the elders'' astonishment, the tyrannical dragon w got cut in half.


    Wu Yong snorted after seeing his attack getting cut in two. He looked towards Zhan Chen fiercely but didn''tunch the third attack.


    "Fourthmander looks somewhat capable. I don''t want to behave like a petty person. So, I am withdrawing from this duel", Wu Yong spoke. He tried to behave like a magnanimous person but the malice hidden in his eyes couldn''t escape Zhan Chen''s attention.


    His lips curled upward slightly as a small smile appeared on his face. "Many thanks for senior Yong''s guidance. I hope there is no morein regarding my position as amander", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 483 Treatment for malice

    Chapter 483 Treatment for malice


    "Junior sister, have you noticed? Zhan Chen has probably reached the Sword heart realm", Yang Yukong sent a voice transmission to Shui Liying. His hand trembled slightly as he looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief in his eyes.


    Other experts couldn''t see through Zhan Chen''s strength in this short span. But Yang Yukong was an exception. He himself had already reached the Sword heart realm. So, he was extremely sensitive towards another cultivator who had reached the Sword heart realm.


    "I know already. There is no limit to his future perspective", Shui Liying replied. A proud expression appeared on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Everyone, now that the duel is concluded, I am announcing Zhan Chen as the fourthmander. From here on, if anyone dare to cause trouble, he will be dealt with strictly", Ying Chao spoke.


    "I have another announcement to make before we disperse. I will not assign any troops to anymander. Everyone has to choose for themselves whichmander they want to follow. Hopefully,manders can gather their own troops before tomorrow morning", Ying Chao spoke. He bowed slightly towards Yang Yukong and Shui Liying before flying towards the Grey ash city.


    "It is the right decision to have him lead our troops", Yang Yukongmented as he looked towards the distant figure of Ying Chao.


    "Indeed, he already has a clear idea about how to lead our troops", Shui Liying nodded her head. Both of them vanished from their location after Ying Chao left. The calm atmosphere immediately became noisy after the emperors left. Countless gazes fell upon the fourmanders who were about to build their own army.


    "Elder Jiang, my Golden serpent sect is willing to assist you in the uing battles. Hopefully, you will let us join your army", a stout old man spoke. His voice was thunderous as it immediately drowned other voices around him.


    "Let us discuss this inside the city. Everyone who is willing to follow me, pleasee to the western section of the city", Zhi Jiang spoke. He cupped his hands towards everyone before flying away. A section of the crowd immediately followed after him as they were willing to join his army.


    "Everyone, who is willing to follow me, pleasee to the eastern section of the city. I promise, I will not let you down after you join my army", firstmander, Li Wei spoke. He cupped his hands towards everyone before flying towards the Grey ash city.


    "Everyone, let us meet at the southern section of the city. I can''t promise anything but I will not mistreat anyone who is willing to follow my lead. Those who are willing to fight for our Earth province, please follow me into the city", Hui Guo spoke. He didn''t bother to greet anyone after announcing his words. He straightaway flew towards the southern end of the Grey ash city.


    Threemanders left one by one, leaving Zhan Chen behind. Everyone was expecting him to speak some words but Zhan Chen was busy looking at the Wu n experts. Wu Yong''s expression was cold as he stared back towards Zhan Chen. He felt Zhan Chen was provoking him directly by staring at him in such a tant manner.


    "Senior Yong, you are looking really fierce today. Hopefully, you can maintain the same spirit in the uing battles", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face. But everyone present could see that it was a tant provocation towards Wu Yong.


    "Commander Chen don''t have to worry about me. Rather you should focus on yourself. Who knows, what will happen in the uing battles", Wu Yong replied. He appeared calm on the surface but he was struggling to suppress his murderous thoughts.


    "Seniors, please choose who you wish to follow wisely. You have maby battle to fight going forward. Those who wish to follow me cane to the ce of Lu n", Zhan Chen spoke. He cupped his hands towards everyone present before flying towards the Grey ash city.


    "This bastard, who does he think he is?", an elder of the Wu n spat out. Wu Yong was a respected senior of his n. So, disrespecting him meant disrespect to the entire Wu n.


    "Don''t worry about him. He does not have many days to live anyway. We can take this as his deathbed rambling", Wu Yong spoke. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he looked towards the direction where Zhan Chen had gone.


    "Grand elder, whichmander should we follow?", another elder asked. He was rather concerned because the crowd of cultivators were thinning out at a rapid pace. Many of the cultivators had already taken a decision regarding whichmander they should follow.


    "There is no hurry. Go back to our base first. I have to send a voice transmission to the patriarch", Wu Yong spoke. Thest line, he spoke was through mentalmunication. So, none of the experts present nearby could doubt Wu n''s motive.


    Wu n experts flew towards the Grey ash city together. No one noticed when Wu Yong secretly left before reaching the Grey ash city. Everyone was busy in selecting their respectivemander. So, no one had time to monitor Wu n experts'' activities.


    Wu Yong flew for a while after leaving the periphery of the Grey ash city. He stopped when he reached an extremely secluded location. He spread out his soul consciousness cautiously and checked the surrounding. Only after ensuring that no one was noticing him, he took out a tailsman from his spatial ring.


    He spread out his soul consciousness once more and checked the surrounding. He was way too cautious despiteing to a secluded location. He couldn''t be med though because themunication tailsman were notpletely immune to spying.


    Peak experts like the emperors and the sages could see through the information being fed to the tailsman through their formidable spiritual strength. So, Wu Yong acted cautiously despiteing to a secluded location.


    He injected his essence energy and themunication tailsman lit up with a glowing light. "Patriarch, we need to inform the holy son. The bastard of the Zhan n is growing powerful too quickly. His cultivation base aside his battle prowess is already at a heaven defying level. I can confirm that he is at early Martial ascension realm. But he can already defend against me with his puny cultivation realm", Wu Yong fedthe glowing tailsman with information.


    The tailsman started to burn after few moments. Itpletely disappeared when he finished injecting hisst words. A devious smile appeared on Wu Yong''s face after he sent the information. His eyes glowed with glee when he thought about Zhan Chen''s uing fate.


    "Brat, just you wait. Holy son will send white envoys to catch you. I will make sure that you will suffer measurably like your nsmen and your Zhan n allies", Wi Yong thought to himself.


    "Someone is going to suffer. But it is not me", a calm voice disturbed the eeerie silence of the night. Wu Yong''s expression changedpletely after he heard the voice.


    "Who is there?", he shouted cautiously. Sweat drops appeared on his forehead as he scanned the surrounding with his soul consciousness.


    "Senior Yong, are you looking for me?", Zhan Chen walked towards Wu Yong from a distance. He had a cold expression on his face as he stared towards Wu Yong.


    "Bastard, you dare follow me! I will make sure that you will not escape this ce alive", Wu Yong clenched his fists. He couldn''t believe that he got scared so much by the voice of Zhan Chen.


    "Wishful thinking. Your fate is sealed at the moment you expose your murderous intention towards me", Zhan Chen spoke. He walked forward with unhurried steps. Wu Yong felt a primordial fear rising in his heart when he faced Zhan Chen''s cold gaze.


    He wanted to attack Zhan Chen but to his utter disbelief, he couldn''t move a single finger infront of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen appeared like a prehistoric beast whose gaze was firmly locked on his prey.


    "How can this be?", Wu Yong felt the world was copsing around him. He had never felt so helpless in his entire life.


    "You old thing. You dare insult me so many times?", Zhan Chen asked coldly. His gaze was prating as he looked towards Wu Yong.


    "I am sorry", the word which escaped Wu Yong''s lips was surprising for both Zhan Chen and Wu Yong himself. He couldn''t believe that he could utter such words out of desperation.


    "Being sorry is not enough. Let me teach you what the suffering actually is", Zhan Chen spoke. He grabbed Wu Yong''s hand and applied pressure on his fingers.


    "Crack"


    "Crack"


    "Ahhh", Wu Yong howled measerably as all five of his fingers were broke. Tear and snot came out from his eyes and nose as he howled measerably.


    In response, another five cracking sounds came out. Zhan Chen broke the fingers of his other hand.Wu Yong howled hoarsely as the pain came out from the depth of his soul.

 Chapter 484 Forces backing Zhan Chen

    Chapter 484 Forces backing Zhan Chen


    "What a weakling! You dare have malicious thoughts towards me with such a weak will", Zhan Chen coldly stared towards Wu Yong. He couldn''t believe that a peak heavenly tribtion realm expert had such a weak mental fortitude.


    "Please spare me. It is only because my Wu n has enmity with your Zhan n", Wu Yong stuttered. His body was trembling with fright as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen was not aware that his aura waspletely scary at this moment. His soul supression towards other creatures had already exceeded the limit of a peak sage realm expert.


    There was something frightening about his soul supression. It was like he was a ruler, infront of him no other creature could raise their heads. The change was subtle. So, Zhan Chen was not aware about it. He only thought that Wu Yong was aplete weakling despite being a peak Heavenly tribtion realm expert.


    Wu Yong felt like his mind would copse at any moment. His mind was so clouded with fear that he was shuddering. Never in his worst dream, he had imagined that Zhan Chen would be such a frightening person. Now his only wish was to came out of this ordeal alive.


    "Master, where are you? Experts from various factions are waiting for you", Zhan Chen received a soulmunication from Hu Yali when he was about to torment Wu Yong few more times. He was yet to be satisfied even after putting Wu Yong in so much pain. His hate towards Wu Yong was proportional to the malice Wu Yong had held towards his Zhan n. Due to his Heart seeking technique, he could see through how malicious the thoughts of Wu Yong was.


    "Fine", Zhan Chen took a deep breath to calm down himself. He had more important thing to do now other than tormenting Wu Yong.


    "I know, you have a restriction in your soul to protect your secrets. But such restrictions are child y to me. Obediently be my ve now. I will deal with youter", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t wait for Wu Yong ''s response. He directly sent a strand of soul into Wu Yong''s body.


    Wu Yong couldn''t do a single thing to resist as Zhan Chen''s soul strand invaded his soul. His eyes got clouded as Zhan Chen''s soul strand formed aplex seal inside his soul.


    He regained his sanity after few moments. He was about to kneel when Zhan Chen waved his hand. "No need. I don''t want to ept respect from someone like you. Just obediently co-operate when I check your memoriester", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "There is another thing. Don''t let others doubt you. You should behave like what you should have done before bing my ve", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "This ve obeys yourmand. Forgive me for my earlier impudence", Wu Yong bowed towards Zhan Chen. His eyes only had reverence towards Zhan Chen now who became his master.


    Zhan Chen didn''t give a reply to Wu Yong. He used Ethereal cloud steps and dashed towards the Grey ash city.


    Lu n''s camp was located near the Xuantian sect''s base. It was argeplex alloted to them by the Xuantian sect. At this moment, there was arge crowd gathered infront of the Lu n''s base.


    Among the crowd, a certain group was particrly eye-catching because the group was made up of only women. There were girls and women of differing ages but two things were simr about them. They were wearing the same kind of robes and all of them were unbelievably enchanting. Such a group would attract attention no matter where they went and Lu n''s base was no exception. Many male cultivators were looking at them with infatuated expression on their faces.


    "Teacher, are we really going to join Zhan Chen''s side? From what I have heard, he is only eighteen years old", a slender beauty asked a middle aged woman standing next to her.


    She stayed silent for few minutes but couldn''t held back her curiousity after waiting for a while. She couldn''t understand why her sect would join a youngster''s side when there were three other good options.


    "Ling''er, you can''t be impolite to Zhan Chen when we meet him. Initially, I am also very confused when sister Yali came to visit us but now I am assured about my decision", the middle aged woman spoke.


    "Teacher, are you referring to elder Yali from the Fragrant Lily sect?", the slender beauty inquired.


    "Yes, I am talking about her. It is unbelievable but she has already be an emperor", the middle aged woman spoke. She was still in disbelief after finding out Hu Yali''s current realm.


    "What! How is this possible?", the slender beauty eximed. She was as shocked as her master because it had been only few months since they hadst seen Hu Yali. The Fragrant Lily sect and their Jade orchid pavilion had a good rtionship with eachother. So, they often visit eachother''s sects for exchanging pointers.


    Hu Yali''s Fragrant Lily sect might have a bad reputation in the Centralnd but it didn''t meant that they didn''t have any rtionship with other powers. Contrary to people'' beleif, the Fragrant Lily sect had maintained cordial rtionship with many powers of the Centralnd.


    To be specific, they had good rtionship with women only powers. They bewitch men to increase their cultivation. So, they had no enmity with a power who had only females as cultivators. This logic was true for women only powers. They understood that Fragrant Lily sect targeted only males. So, they were not in guard infront of the Fragrant Lily sect''s cultivators.


    "You know, junior sister Yali and I have long rtionship. She tells me that the bestmander to join is Zhan Chen. Initially, I have not believed her but I still came to take a look. After observing for a while, I think joining Zhan Chen is not a bad idea", the middle aged woman spoke.


    "Teacher, how can you be assured? Is not Zhan Chen sidecking far too muchpared to othermanders?", the slender beauty asked. She couldn''tprehend what got into her master''s mind after visiting the Lu n''s base.


    It was clear to see that Zhan Chen''s side had too less cultivatorspared to othermanders. Among the Xuantian sect''s allies, except for their Jade orchid pavilion, no other powers hade to join Zhan Chen. It was clear that powers like the Golden serpent sect, the Silver Star pavilion, the Violet moon sect and the Wu n had no nning in joining Zhan Chen''s side. So, the slender beauty felt it would be extremely disadvantageous and foolish if their Jade orchid pavilion decided to join Zhan Chen''s side.


    "Ling''er, you are always hasty. How many times have I told you to observer first beforeing to a conclusion?", the middle aged beauty spoke.


    "Number of cultivators can''t determine everything. You have to see how many experts havee to join Zhan Chen''s side", the middle aged beauty further added.


    "Look at that direction. He is elder He Yu from the Sword peak. He always stays in seclusion. So, many are not aware about him. But, you can''t underestimate his prowess. It is rumored that except for the peak master and peak guarding elders, none can challenge him in the entire Sword peak of the Xuantian sect", the middle aged woman spoke. There was a look of respect in her eyes as he looked at a lean and tall elder.


    "What is such a person doing here? He can easily be amander!", the slender beauty eximed.


    "He is not the only expert here.Look at that old senior who is standing alone. He is concealing his cultivation base but I am sure that he is a peak tribtion realm expert. Even, I am not sure whether I can face him in a battle", the middle aged woman spoke as she shifted her gaze towards another direction.


    "Look towards our left. You can see one of the most beautiful woman of our Earth province. Her name is Qian Shanni. She is the current sect master of the Lotus moon sect", the middle aged woman pointed towards a beauty standing in a secluded corner.


    "She is so beautiful! I have heard about her but what is she doing here?", the slender beauty replied with a confused expression on her face.


    "Everyone present here has only one purpose. That is to join Zhan Chen''s side. I am sure that she is also considering to join Zhan Chen''s army", the middle aged woman spoke.


    "Now, do you understand why I want our Jade orchid pavilion to join Zhan Chen''s side?", she looked towards her disciple.

 Chapter 485 Appointing the captains

    Chapter 485 Appointing the captains


    "Look, he is here", the middle ageddy pointed towards a direction. Silhouette of person could be seen in the sky who was flying towards the Lu n''s base with a breathtaking speed.


    It was Zhan Chen who was flying towards the Lu n''s base. After receiving the message from Hu Yali, he hurried over.


    He slowed down after reaching the vicinity of the Lu n''s base. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes after he saw the gathered crowd.


    ''It is unexpected. So many of them havee!'', he thought to himself.


    He flew down to the ground and walked towards the crowd. His arrival caught everyone''s attention but he didn''t got flustered. He continued to walk untill he reached the gate of the Lu n''s base.


    "Senior, I know you are observing everything. Please send the cultivators from the Lu n who are willing to follow me", Zhan Chen spoke with a light bow.


    Many in the crowd got confused because they didn''t know whom Zhan Chen was talking to. Few in the crowd were smart. So, they could deduce that Zhan Chen was talking to an expert from the Lu n. But they didn''t know whom Zhan Chen was really talking with as they couldn''t sense anyone in the surrounding with their soul consciousness.


    A strange expression appeared on few cultivators''s eyes after few moments passed. There was no response from the Lu n. So, they felt that Zhan Chen was making a mockery of himself infront of the Lu n''s base.


    When everyone''s patience was dwindling, a group of cultivators from the Lu n came out. Leading the Lu n''s group were twote tribtion realm experts.


    One of them was Lu Tai Cang with whom Zhan Chen was acquainted. But he didn''t know anything about the other person. The other cultivator was already at the peak of the Heavenly tribtion realm. His aura was calm and stable as he led the group from Lu n towards the gate. Even Lu Tai Cang with histe tribtion realm cultivation was following respectfully behind him.


    "Heaven, is not he Lu Cheng? The third elder of the Lu n! It has been tens of years since hisst public appearance. People says that he has faced a cultivation deviation. But it seems like, he is doing fine", cultivators gathered infront of the Lu n''s base started to talk among themselves. From their whispers, Zhan Chen came to learn the identity of the other elder who was leading the Lu n''s group.


    "Little brother, it is upto you now. I am leaving the life and death of my Lu nsmen in your hands", a deep voice came out from the depth of the Lu n''s base.


    "Senior, I will not disappoint you", Zhan Chen replied. Many in the crowd were taken aback as they finally realised whom Zhan Chen was talking to. The person who referred Zhan Chen as ''little brother'' was an emperor from the Lu n.


    "Since everyone is here, let''s get started", Zhan Chen spoke. His voice reveberated in the air as he looked towards everyone present.


    "First of all, I want to pay respect to all the seniors who havee to support me. There are better out there but you still choose to have faith in me. For which, I am very grateful. I promise that, anyone whoes to support me will not be disappointed", Zhan Chen spoke while sping his hands. He may be more powerful than anyone else present here but he was not an ungrateful person. He knew how to pay back both gratitude and grudges.


    "Little brother, no need to be polite. Everyone is here because they are convinced by your strength", ate tribtion realm expert spoke. "Brother Wei is right. Zhan Chen, you don''t have to polite. We only want some opportunities to exercise our old bones", anotherte tribtion realm expert chimed in. Other tribtion realm experts expressed their stance one after another as they expressed their will to follow Zhan Chen.


    "Seniors, thank you for your kind words. I wouldn''t be polite then", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "As everyone knew, below themanders were the position of captains. Each captain must have ten squard leaders under theirmand. For each squard, number of squard members can vary from thirty to fifty. For now, let us fix our squard strength at forty members", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Now, I am going to appoint our captains. Beside strength, they need to have leadership ability. There are many powerful seniors here. But I want only five captains under me at this moment", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The crowd became silent after Zhan Chen started to speak. Few tribtion realm experts had hopeful expression in their eyes as they wished to be appointed as captains.


    "First captain will be the senior from the Sword peak. I have yet to learn your name but I think you are more than eligible to be a captain", Zhan Chen spoke. He looked towards an incospicuous corner where a lean and tall old man was standing. He was wearing a silver grey robe which was an uniform for the Xuantian sect elders.


    There was a sword symbol inscribed on his robe which showed his identity as a Sword peak member. After listening to Zhan Chen''s words, everyone in the crowd focused their eyes on the lean and tall old man.


    Many in the crowd were curious as they didn''t know the Sword peak elder''s identity. But those who knew his identity, didn''t feel any surprise because they knew how formidable the old man from the Sword peak actually was.


    "Little brother, my name is He Yu. Hopefully, I can learn few things from you by the time this war ends", the lean and tall old man spoke. He appeared quite friendly despite being a peak Heavenly tribtion realm expert.


    "Senior, are you epting the position of a captain?", Zhan Chen asked He Yu.


    "I think it wouldn''t be a problem. Since I have decided to follow you, I need to respect your decisions", He Yu replied.


    "I am giving the second captain position to the Lu n. Senior, are you willing to ept the position of a captain?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Cheng, the third elder of the Lu n.


    "I have no problem. I have no issue with whatever position I get. The only thing matter to me at this moment is the battle with the devils. I want payback for my fallen nsmen", Lu Cheng spoke. His voice was deep and hoarse. People could feel his murderous desire just by hearing his words.


    "Senior, there will be plenty of chances to fight with the devils. But you need to be patient", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I will listen to your words but don''t keep me waiting for long", Lu Cheng spoke.


    "I will not", Zhan Chen spoke with an assuring tone.


    "Master, please consider the Jade orchid peak. They havee to join you after I persuaded them", Zhan Chen received a message from Hu Yali when he was looking for a suitable candidate for the third captain''s position.

 Chapter 486 Qian Shanni

    Chapter 486 Qian Shanni


    "You don''t have to speak for them. Their leader seems capable. So, I am going to offer her a position anyway", Zhan Chen replied. He looked towards the group from the Jade orchid pavilion after talking with Hu Yali.


    "Senior, can I ask your name?", Zhan Chen cupped his hands towards the leader of the Jade orchid pavilion''s group.


    "I am Zheng Ying. You can call me elder sister Ying if you want", Zheng Ying smiled softly. She was quite pleased after seeing how humble and approachable Zhan Chen actually was.


    "Elder sister Ying, are you willing to ept the position of a captain?", Zhan Chen inquired. He put away his humble expression and smiled towards Zheng Ying.


    "Ofcourse. I wil do my best", Zheng Ying replied.


    "Now, the selection of the fourth captain. I already have someone in mind. Although I don''t know, she will ept my proposal", Zhan Chen murmured. He looked towards a secluded corner where a gorgeous woman was standing. She appeared to be the blend of both elegance and maturity. She was wearing a white coloured robe which enhanced her elegance altogether. When Zhan Chen looked towards her, the crowd''s focus shifted towards the secluded corner where she was standing.


    "Is not she sect leader Qian Shanni?"


    "When did she arrive? I have never heard that her Lotus moon sect is going to join us", the cultivators in the crowd started to talk among themselves. From everyone''s reaction, Zhan Chen could tell that she was a renowned figure among the present experts.


    "Senior, we meet again. Your cultivation has increased since thest time we have seen eachother", Zhan Chen cupped his hands towards the beautiful woman. He had met her when he went to the Serpent moon sect to rescue Lin Xintong''s daughter. It was a temporary coboration but the beautiful sect leader had left a good impression in his mind.


    "You can see my cultivation?", Qian Shanni felt surprised for a moment. She quickly hid her surprise and looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "I was nning to join a different general. But, I happen to be outside the Grey ash city when you fought Wu Yong. Your improvement in these few months really give me a shock. Since, we are familiar with eachother, I have changed my mind", Qian Shanni spoke.


    "Senior, you tter me. I am honoured that youe to stand beside me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay, no need to be polite infront of me. Are you giving me the position of a captain?", Qian Shanni asked with a calm expression on her face.


    "Yes", Zhan Chen nodded his head. With her cultivation as a peak Heavenly tribtion realm expert, she was qualified to be amander. As for captain''s position, she was overly qualified. It was stroke of luck for him that she choose to join him.


    "Fine, I ept. I will assemble ten squards under me as soon as possible", Qian Shanni spoke.


    "It is time to select the fifth captain. Let''s see who is more suitable", Zhan Chen spoke after he finished speaking with Qian Shanni. He looked around and examined the experts present in the crowd.


    A burly looking elder who was standing with few other Xuantian sect''s elders grabbed his attention. From the symbol on his robe, he could tell that the elder was from the Martial peak of the Xuantian sect.


    "Senior, may I ask your name?", Zhan Chen cupped his hands towards the Martial peak''s elder.


    "Little brother, my name is Hu Wei", the burly looking elder replied. His voice was slightly stiff but he tried to be as amiable as possible.


    "Senior, are you willing to be a captain?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Yes, I am willing", Hu wei replied. Unlike others, his voice was solemn when he replied to Zhan Chen.


    "Now, we have our five captains. Any senior who wishes to join the captains, may join them.


    No one belowte Heavenly tribtion realm is allowed to act independent. As for thete tribtion realm seniors, they may act independently. But they have to listen to my arrangement", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "It is reassuring", ate tribtion realm old man nodded his head. He was an independent cultivator who had no attachment to any forces. It would be ufortable for him if he had to listen to another Heavenly tribtion realm expert. As for following Zhan Chen, it was not ufortable for him. He could see that Zhan Chen had limitless potential. He would surpass him in few years. This, it was not humiliating for him even if he listen to such a genius. "I am also not joining any squards. I would rather act independently under Zhan Chen. That way, I will have a greater freedom to fight with the devils", am elder from the Earth peak dered. Few morete tribtion realm experts echoed his sentiment as they wanted to fight independently.


    Following a captain meant, epting the responsibility to protect the squard members during a battle. Fewte tribtion realm experts didn''t wish to be tied down like this as they want to battle with the devilspletely unhindered. The atrocities of devil''s had already stroked their fighting spirits. So, they didn''t wish to be tied down by junior squard members.


    "I respect everyone''s choice. All of you have today''s night to decide which captain you wish to follow or you wish to act independent. I have another announcement to make before we wrap up this meeting. I want to appoint a vicemander who can take care of things in my absence", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I know, there is no legitimate post like a vicemander. But I think, I need one who can take care of day to day things when I am busy. I want everyone to support the vice captain when he givesmands in my absence", he further added.


    "Little brother Chen, do you have someone in mind?", an amiable looking elder asked.


    "Yes, I want to appoint elder Lu Tai Cang as the vicemander", Zhan Chen spoke. He looked towards the Lu n''s group with a smile on his face.


    Lu Tai Cang smiled helplessly when he saw everyone in the crowd looking towards him. He knew he couldn''t decline as it was an opportunity for their Lu n. Their emperor wished to got closer with Zhan Chen. So, he had no choice but to ept the tedious task from Zhan Chen.


    "Everyone, you only have few hours to take a decision. Each captain need to assemble ten squards under theirmand. Please do you best to organise your troops. We will meet again in the morning", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior sister Lingyi, you don''t have to follow a captain if you don''t wish to do so. You can act independently in the uing battles. I will support you and those following you no matter what decision you take", Zhan Chen sent a voice transmission to Jia Lingyi before leavingthe ce.

 Chapter 487 Exploding fury

    Chapter 487 Exploding fury


    Zhan Chen went towards the city gate after leaving the Lu n''s base. He easily sneaked out of the Grey ash city without alerting any guards.


    He used the Ethereal cloud steps and dashed towards the distance. He stopped when he reached a certain location. Wu Yong was already waiting for him when he reached that ce.


    "Master", Wu Yong knelt immediately after seeing Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen stared towards him without any emotion in his eyes.


    "Wu Yong, have you asked me before ingesting a healing pill?", Zhan Chen asked. Wu Yong shivered slightly when Zhan Chen''s eyes fell on his healed fingers.


    "Master, I am sorry. I couldn''t bear the pain. So, I..."


    "Break them again. Hopefully, your performance will entertain me properly", Zhan Chen cut short Wu Yong''s sentence.


    Wu Yong trembled uncontrobly after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. He was really afraid of Zhan Chen now. Other experts may consider Zhan Chen as a tender youngster but he knew the real truth. ording to him, even devils are not as scary as Zhan Chen alone.


    "Master, please spare me", Wu Yong begged. His mind was about to copse due to the fear he was feeling at this moment.


    "Don''t make me repeat myself. I have limited patience. If you can''t do it, I will do it myself. But if I have to assist you, it will not be your fingers alone, that would be broke", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Wu Yong''s body shivered uncontrobly after he heard Zhan Chen''s words. He felt like he had arrived in hell due to the sins he hadmitted in his life.


    "Crack", he clenched his teeth and broke one of his fingers. The pain was so intense that tear came out from his eyes. Wu Yong looked towards Zhan Chen in hope of leniency but there was no emotion in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Wu Yong could only go on to break his second finger. He was pressing his teeth so much that blood started toe out from his gums but Zhan Chen remained emotionless. Not once in his mind, he has considered about forgiving Wu Yong. He knew, his fate may be worse if he had to fall in Wu Yong''s hands. So, he watched emotionlessly as Wu Yong broke his fingers one by one.


    "Okay, you can stop now. Let me check your memories", Zhan Chen spoke after Wu Yong broke all of his fingers. Tormenting him was never his main goal. His true priority lied in knowing the intention of the Wu n. He wanted to see what malicious ns were directed at the Zhan n or himself.


    Wu Yong cooperatedpletely when Zhan Chen''s soul consciousness invaded his mind. One by one all of his memories got seen by Zhan Chen.


    "Bastards", Zhan Chen suddenly shouted furiously. A terrifying aura came out from his body which pervaded all the directions.


    He continued to look at the memories of Wu Yong but the more he looked, more his fury was fuelled. He didn''t notice that blood as seeping out from Wu Yong''s nose and mouth. Wu Yong''s body was trembling uncontrobly as he continued to soulsearch him.


    ---------------


    "Hmm!", a perplexed expression appeared on Yang Yukong''s face when he sensed a terrifying aura in the distance. He was in the middle of a discussion with Shui Liying and Ying Chao when his expression changed suddenly.


    "Senior, is there any problem?", Ying Chao asked. His soul consciousness was not as strong as an emperor. So, he couldn''t sense anything.


    "Junior sister, have you noticed?", instead of replying to Ying Chao ''s question, Yang Yukong looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Yes", Shui Liying nodded her head with a grave expression. Never in her entire life, she had encountered such a terrifying aura.


    "Senior brother, shall we take a look?", Shui Liying inquired. Yang Yukong didn''t give her an answer immediately as he looked towards the direction where he sensed that aura.


    "What is going on here?", Ying Chao murmured. He felt curious but he was sensible enough to not interrupt the conversation between two emperors.


    "Let''s take a look from the sky. But we shouldn''t approach this aura. It will be foolish if we invite a cmity out of curiosity", Yang Yukong spoke. They were about to leave the Xuantian sect''s base when that dangerous aura suddenly vanished. Both Yang Yukong and Shui Liying looked towards eachother with perplexed expression on their faces.


    "Senior brother, what should we do? Should we alert senior Breeze walker?", Shui Liying inquired. A startled expression appeared on Ying Chao''s face when he heard the name ''Breezewalker''.


    The Xuantian sect had three known sages. Daoist Breeze walker, daoist Chilling moon and daoist ze wrath. The sage realm expert who was secretly protecting Xuantian sect''s base was daoist Breeze walker. So, Ying Chao got startled when he heard the discussion between Yang Yukong and Shui Liying.


    Generally, with his power, Yang Yukong could solve almost every problem in the Grey ash city. He also had Shui Liying beside him who herself was ate emperor realm expert. So, Ying Chao wondered what problem was actually there that Shui Liying was thinking about alerting a sage realm expert.


    "If senior Breeze walker is nearby, he most have sensed it. If he is wondering around, we shouldn''t bother him. The aura has vanished that is all we need to know. As long there is no threat to the Grey ash city, we don''t need to involve ourselves. We can discuss about it when he meet senior Breeze walker again", Yang Yukong replied.


    In the distance, Zhan Chen had no idea that he had startled both Yang Yukong and Shui Liying. He withdrew his aura after he finished the soulsearch with Wu Yong.


    Wu Yong fainted right away after Zhan Chen finished his soul search. His body fell on the ground as he lost his consciousness.


    Zhan Chen didn''t bother about Wu Yong''s condition. His mind was currently preupied with what he had learned from Wu Yong''s memories.


    There was actually a major conspiracy involving Zhan n and it''s allies. Exactly eighteen years ago, Beitang royal family who were hiding since their battle with Zhan n, came out of seclusion. They started to contact their old allies and made new allies in secret.


    Together with both their old allies and new allies, they started to target the loyal followers of the Zhan n. It had been four hundred years since the battle between Zhan n and the Beitang royal family. But Beitang royal family was still holding onto it''s grudge and targeting the loyal allies of the Zhan n.


    The Wu n was actively coooperating with the Beitang royal family and one of their most trusted allies in the Earth province. They had targeted more than three powers and captured few of their powerhouses. What enraged Zhan Chen was, Wu n along with Beitang royal family hadpletely obliterated a n and captured few of their women.


    Together all the major experts of the Wu n were using those captured women as tools and tormenting them since then. The bastard, Wu Yong who was lying infront of him was also a participant. There was vivid memory in Wu Yong''s mind, how he tormented few young girls from the Lin n.


    Lin n was known as one of staunchest allies of the Zhan n who had followed them through thick and thin. There was matrimonial rtionship with Zhan n and the Lin n which they kept arranging generation after generation. Thus, the bond between the two ns were strengthened over the years.


    "I, Zhan Chen, hereby vow that I will wipe the Wu n from face of the earth. I will let you know what suffering actually is", Zhan Chen clenched his fists furiously. He had never imagined that a human would stoop so low in the name of revenge.

 Chapter 488 Following your heart

    Chapter 488 Following your heart


    "Big brother, what is the matter? What makes you so much furious?", Long Xinyu appeared infront of Zhan Chen. There was a concerned expression on her adorable face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    It was rare of her to be so polite infront of Zhan Chen. Otherwise whenever she appeared infront of Zhan Chen, she would call him big baddie.


    Zhan Chen tried to calm down himself after seeing the concern on Long Xinyu''s face. But no matter how he tried, he couldn''tcalm down himself. His anger only soared when he thought about the fate of Zhan n''s allies.


    "Big brother, if you need my help, please tell me. My ability is limited now but once my Ancestral dragon city''s army descend on this world, I can help you with whatever you want", Long Xinyu spoke. "Little girl, you are so considerate", Zhan Chen''s anger subsided slightly. He felt a movement from his sword, Celestial night when he was talking with Long Xinyu.


    A bewitching beauty appeared infront of Zhan Chen after he spoke to Long Xinyu. Her expression was distant and aloof as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen could see through almost every cultivator''s emotion in this world. But when it came to the bewitching beauty infront of him, he couldn''t perceive what was she thinking.


    She was Celestial night, the sword spirit of his sword. She had raven ck hair and pitch ck eyes. A puzzled expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face because of her appearance.


    "Celestial night, is there anything you need?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "It is not about me, it is about you. Master, you should know that I can sense your emotions because of our soul connection", Celestial night replied.


    "It seems like I have startled you. Sorry about that. It is about my Zhan n allies. So, I can''t calm down myself after seeing their situation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Master, you shouldn''t supress yourself too much. Otherwise, it may affect your dao heart. You should vent your emotions once in a while. Be it battle or mating, you should act ording to your heart''s desire. What is point in suppressing yourself in such a manner. Even now, you are trying to suppress your emotions", Celestial night spoke.


    "Big sister, how can you say such words?", Long Xinyu muttered. Her adorable face reddenedpletely after she heard Celestial night''s words.


    "Little dragon, tell me why the cultivators cultivate in the first ce? It is to earn the freedom to act as they please. If you can''t follow your heart, how can you progress in your cultivation path? You may improve your cultivation in the mortal realm through external means but what about the immortal realm? Can you progress then if you are not following your heart", Celestial night spoke.


    "Master, silly dragon, my advice is both for you. No need to supress yourselves. Follow your heart whenever you can", Celestial night spoke. She gave a meaningful look to Long Xinyu before vanishing.


    A thoughtful expression appeared on Zhan Chen''s face after he heard what Celestial night had spoke. Celestial night sessfully managed to divert his attention with her words. He was no longer disturbed by Zhan n allies''s fate rather he was pondering the meaning of Celestial night''s words.


    Long Xinyu felt puzzled as well but she couldn''tprehend anything from Celestial night''s words. "Forget it, that big sister is too much. How can she talk about mating so randomly? I am not ready yet", she thought to herself. She automatically forgot majority of Celestial night''s advice. The only thing she remembered was mating and battle. "Big brother is supressing himself? But how so? Is not he mating whenever he wants, in the past few days", Long Xinyu thought to herself. She didn''t understand why Celestial night spoke such words.


    "Forget about it. That big sister is too much. I should act as I please when I am in this lower world", she thought to herself. She took a look at Zhan Chen''s pondering expression and a blush appeared on her adorable face. "Big brother is really good looking", she thought inwardly.


    "I understand. I should act ording to my heart whenever I can. But to follow heart''s desire all the time, it is impossible. I will rather focus on maintaining a clear heart. As long I do not supress myself too much, I will not face any difficulty in the cultivation path. My cultivation path is on my own. So, I should trust my own instincts and methods", Zhan Chen thought to himself. His mind became more clear as he pondered over the words of Celestial night.


    He didn''t know that Celestial night had a smile on her face now. Her face which generally appeared aloof and distant, now had a small smile on it. ''He is really amazing. His cultivation may be weak but his talent is unparallel. He is able to cleanse his heart to such an extent despite being at a tender age'', Celestial night thought to herself.


    "Little dragon, let''s go", Zhan Chen spoke. He stretched his hand and held Long Xinyu ''s hand with his own. There was a big smile on his face when he looked towards Long Xinyu.


    Long Xinyu would have protested in ordinary situation but she fell silent after seeing the warm smile on Zhan Chen''s face. Her mood uplifted as well as she followed Zhan Chen into the Grey ash city.


    "Big brother, let me go. I need to hide myself from other cultivators", Long Xinyu spoke when they approached the city gate of the Grey ash city.


    "Wait a little. I will find something delicious for you after I receive a mission tomorrow", Zhan Chen spoke. Hebed her beautiful violet hair a little before letting her go. Long Xinyu escaped immediately after Zhan Chen removed his hand from her head.


    ''My heart, please stop. Why is it beating so rapidly? I think I would die if big brotherbed my hair a little more'', Long Xinyu thought to herself. A dazed expression appeared on her pretty face as she stared towards the direction of the Grey ash city.


    Zhan Chen didn''t know how much his tiny actions had affected Long Xinyu. He walked into the Grey ash city and released his soul consciousness.


    "Where are they?", he murmured while looking for Hui Ling and Yin Ran. He search through their living quarters but couldn''t find them.


    The Grey ash city appeared very active despite it waste night. Cultivators were roaming here and there while talking among themselves. Ying Chao ''s decision had not only affected the peak experts rather they affected each and every cultivator present in the Grey ash city. Everyone was talking about newmanders and which captain to follow.


    ''So, they have already assembled infront of the Lu n''s base'', Zhan Chen nodded his head after finding Hui Ling and Yin Ran infront of the Lu n''s base. He directly headed towards that direction without bothering about anyone present in the streets.

 Chapter 489 A wild night

    Chapter 489 A wild night


    "Look, senior brother Chen is here", an uproar immediately erupted amidst the Xuantian sect disciples who had gathered infront of the Lu n''s base.


    Zhan Chen found many familiar faces among the Xuantian sect disciples. He had fought with them in the battle of the Yellow stone city. "Senior brother Chen, we havee to join your army. Please take care of us in the future", a bubbly, pretty looking girl shouted. Few other female disciples shouted after her as they looked excitedly towards Zhan Chen.


    "Everyone, thanks foring here. I will make sure that you will not regret your decision. It a war with the devils. So, I can''t guarantee much. But I will make sure that my army lose the least men among the fourmanders", Zhan Chen spoke after cupping his hands towards the gathered disciples.


    "Senior brother, we will follow you till the end."


    "All hail senior brother Chen", loud cheer erupted among the gathered disciples. The heavenly tribtion realm experts looked at eachother with amazement in their eyes. They were surprised by how quickly Zhan Chen raised the morale of the young disciples.


    "Now, excuse me. I have many matters to attend", Zhan Chen spoke. He walked towards a certain group after greeting all the neers.


    This group consisted of close to hundred Xuantian sect disciples. They were the same group of disciples who had followed Zhan Chen in the Yellow stone city''s battle.


    "Senior brother Chen, you are finally here", a tall disciple came out to greet Zhan Chen. He was the most capable warrior in the group alongside Zhan Chen.


    "I would like to personally lead you all into the battle. But it is no longer possible because of my new position. My advice for you all to join senior sister Jia Lingyi ''s group. She will take care of you all in my behalf", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, we will follow your wish", Zhen Yuan spoke. Other disciples show support to Zhen Yuan as all of them agreed to follow Zhan Chen''s wish.


    "Okay, we will meet in the morning", Zhan Chen spoke. He threw a meaningful look towards Hui Ling and Yin Ran before leaving.


    "Hui Ling, Yin Ran, return to your living quarters. I want to fulfill my promise to you both. I will apany you girls for the next few hours", Zhan Chen sent a mentalmunication to Hui Ling and Yin Ran before leaving.


    An exhrated expression appeared on both Hui Ling and Yin Ran''s face after they received Zhan Chen''s mentalmunication. Other disciples were busy talking with eachother. So, no one noticed the change in their expression.


    "Senior brother Yuan, we want to cultivate a little before our uing battles. You can take decision on our behalf in our absence. No matter what decision you take, we will support you", Hui Ling and Yin Ran spoke to Zhen Yuan.


    "It is a minor matter. I will alert you if anything importantes up", Zhen Yuan spoke. Hui Ling and Yin Ran bade farewell to him and left the Lu n''s base.


    Zhan Chen was already waiting for them when Yin Ran and Hui Ling returned to their living quarters. "Let''s go to Yin Ran''s quarter", Zhan Chen spoke. Both Hui Ling and Yin Ran followed after him as they entered Yin Ran''s living ce.


    Zhan Chen pulled both of the girls closer after entering inside. He shared kisses with both of the girls while embracing them.


    "Senior brother, thank you. It is such an important time yet you have stille to see us", Yin Ran spoke. "Actually, I need your help. Earlier, I have learned something unpleasant and I am still furious inside. I thought, spending some time with you girls may uplift my mood", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, thanks for trusting us. We will do what we can to cheer you up", Hui Ling spoke. She started to undress herself after talking with Zhan Chen. Yin Ran also did the same as they exposed their enchanting bodies infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled both of them once again and shared passionate kisses with each of them. Hui Ling peeled off Zhan Chen''s robe while he was kissing Yin Ran.


    "Turn around", Zhan Chen spoke to Yin Ran after sharing a passionate kiss with her. Yin Ran gave a seductive look to Zhan Chen before turning around. Her alluring back appeared in full glory infront of Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen ced his hand on her back and traced her curve downward. He stopped only when a soft globe of flesh stopped his advance.


    "Mmm~", Yin Ran let out a soft moan as Zhan Chen squeezed her buttock. Zhan Chen stretched out his other hand and gave a squeeze to her other side.


    "Yin Ran, can we start right away?", Zhan Chen asked while knedding her buttock. Both Hui Ling and Yin Ran gulped after hearing Zhan Chen''s question.


    "Senior brother, I am ready whenever you want", Yin Ran replied. Her body became feverish in expectation as she waited for Zhan Chen''s advances.


    Zhan Chen pulled down his pant and uncaged his dragon. Hui Ling who was watching from the side, gulped once again after seeing the appearance of Zhan Chen''s mighty dragon. She had already dual cultivated with Zhan Chen more than tens of times. But no matter how much she looked at it, It never ceased to amaze her.


    Zhan Chen traced the fold between Yin Ran''s thighs with his dragon. Yin Ran automatically adjusted her body posture to aodate Zhan Chen''s spear. Her little sister was already drooling in anticipation when Zhan Chen rubbed his spear on top of it.


    Yin Ran felt a Jolt of pleasure as Zhan Chen rubbed his dragon on her entrance. "I am going in", Zhan Chen spoke. He grabbed Yin Ran''s waist and gave a deep thrust.


    "Ahh~senior brother it is too deep", Yin Ran cried out. "Your inside feels very good. The tightness is amazing", Zhan Chen murmured. Yin Ran blushed as a jolt of pleasure ran through her body. "Senior brother, please continue. I can bear it no matter how you do it", Yin Ran spoke. Her little sister was already wetpletely although Zhan Chen had just began.


    Zhan Chen moved his waist again and gave another thrust to Yin Ran''s little sister with his dragon. Few drops of water slid off from Yin Ran''s sacred garden and fell on her thighs.


    "Senior brother, again. It feels amazing", Yin Ran whispered. She couldn''t describe how much she was craving for Zhan Chen''s thrust again.


    Zhan Chen gave a squeeze to both of her buttocks and made another thrust. This time his dragon went much deeper as Yin Ran moaned loudly. Zhan Chen held Yin Ran by her waist and continued to pound her. Yin Ran felt as if she was floating as her mind went nk at a certain point. The pleasure she was feeling was too overwhelmimg for her. When she was floating at the zenith, the sensation of pleasure suddenly stopped. A sense of intense lose rose in her heart as she turned to look at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon and poked another ce on Yin Ran''s back. Yin Ran''s eyes widened slightly as she realised what Zhan Chen was doing.


    "Senior brother, you can''t do it. It may be.....dirty", she protested with a flustered expression on her face.


    "But I like it. I will proceed if I receive your consent", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior brother, don''t say such words. I can''t deny you, no matter what request you have", Yin Ran replied.


    "Then shall lI consider it as Yes?", Zhan Chen asked.


    "Senior brother, you can proceed", Yin Ran spoke. She was blushing as Zhan Chen poked her forbidden ce with his dragon.


    "I am going in", Zhan Chen spoke. He gave a light push and his dragon dug through the tight canal of Yin Ran.


    After few light movements, Zhan Chen started to ramp up his speed. Yin Ran again felt the overwhelming sensation of pleasure as Zhan Chen continued to pound her.


    "I can''t bear it anymore~", she murmured after few minutes. A stream of holy water came out from her sacred garden and drenched her thighs.


    Zhan Chen gave a kiss on her neck and turned her around. He held her breasts one by one and gave them a lick.


    "Rest a little. We will continue after I am done with Hui Ling", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 490 Flourishing passion

    Chapter 490 Flourishing passion


    Hui Ling got the same treatment as Yin Ran. Zhan Chen traced the entrance of her sacred garden and entered her with a single thrust. He held her waist and started to pound her fiecely.


    After few minutes of pounding, he decided to switch position and turned her around. He started to kiss her lips while his dragon entered the depth of her sacred garden.


    "Senior brother, thank you", Hui Ling whispered. There was boundless love in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen stole another kiss from her after seeing the look on her face. Hui Ling appeared especially gorgeous to him with the emotional expression on her face.


    She was generally a very bold girl but for some reason, she was a little emotional today. It didn''t mean that her proactiveness had decreased rather she was responding more passionately to Zhan Chen''s advances.


    Both of them shared few passionate kisses while Zhan Chen was pounding her. Hui Ling couldn''t hold back herself after few minutes of pounding and released her sacred water. She took the initiative and nted a kiss on Zhan Chen''s lips. "Hui Ling, today, I am not letting you go. Wait untill I am done with Yin Ran", Zhan Chen spoke. "Senior brother, allow me to take care of you first. Sister Ran can wait untill then", Hui Ling spoke. She knelt down and held Zhan Chen''s dragon with her hand.


    "It is so big already", she murmured after looking at the dragon up close. She stroked it for few times before cing her mouth on top of it.


    "Slurp!"


    "Slurp!"


    "Slurp!", the debaucherous sound rang in the air as Hui Ling moved her mouth back and forth. Zhan Chen was own over by her care and passion. The progress in her skills were evident as she did her best to please him.


    Zhan Chen closed his eyes in pleasure as his dragon received the incessant care of Hui Ling. The pleasure felt overwhelming for him as Hui Ling took care of him with passion and patience.


    "Okay, you can stop now. You have done very well. Let your sister take over", Zhan Chen spoke while stroking the hair of Hui Ling.


    "Senior brother, we can continue after you take care of sister Ran", Hui Ling spoke. She gave a look to Yin Ran and walked over to the side.


    "Senior brother, shall we continue what sister Ling was doing?", Yin Ran asked Zhan Chen. She couldn''t help but stare at Zhan Chen''s dragon which was dripping with saliva at the moment.


    "We can continue if you are willing", Zhan Chen spoke. He took a look at Yin Ran''s curves and his dragon trembled in excitement.


    Yin Ran threw an enchanting look towards Zhan Chen before kneeling down. Before Zhan Chen could get a hold of previous bout of pleasure, another new wave of pleasure coarsed through his body.


    Veins started to pop on his dragon as it got licked by Yin Ran passionately. Yin Ran saw the expression on Zhan Chen''s face and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. She started to lick Zhan Chen''s dragon more passionately and it immediately took Zhan Chen to the zenith of pleasure.


    "Yin Ran, you can stop now. Stand on your fours for me", Zhan Chen spoke. There was a fiery expression on his face as he looked towards Yin Ran''s curvy figure.


    "Senior brother, as you wish", Yin Ran replied with a smile. She was d that she could evoke such desire from Zhan Chen. Every women in the world wanted to be loved and desired by their spouse and Yin Ran was no exception.


    She immediately stood on her fours and exposed her enchanting back to Zhan Chen. She turned her head and threw an inviting nce towards Zhan Chen after standing on her fours.


    Zhan Chen''s desire redpletely after Yin Ran thre him an inviting look. He knelt down behind her and gave a p to each of her buttocks.


    As Yin Ran moaned sweetly, he held her buttocks and pierced her sacred cave with a single thrust from his dragon. Yin Ran closed her eyes in pleasure as the amount of pleasure she was feeling from Zhan Chen''s thrust was so intense. It was only a single thrust but her cave was already full of her sacred water.


    "Ahhhhn~", she moaned once again as Zhan Chen gave her another deep thrust. She moved her buttocks slightly to make Zhan Chen morefortable.


    Pah!


    Pah!


    Pah!, the sound of flesh colliding rang in the room as Zhan Chen dual cultivated with Yin Ran. Their cultivation was more passionate and wild than the first time.


    Hui Ling, who was watching from the distance, rubbed her thighs unconsciously. The desire in her heartpletely lit up as she saw the passionate movements from Zhan Chen and the blissful expression on Yin Ran''s eyes.


    "Senior brother, I can''t hold back myself any longer~", Yin Ran spoke. Zhan Chen gave a deep thrust in response and it broke the dam for Yin Ranpletely.


    A stream of holy water came out from her cave as a look of eternal bliss appeared on her face. "Senior brother, you are the best~", she spoke with a lovestruck expression on her face after both of them were separated. "I am d that you like it. You can take some rest if you want", Zhan Chen spoke. "What are you waiting for?", Zhan Chen turned to look towards Hui Ling. Another session of passion started as Zhan Chen entered Hui Ling''s cave with his dragon. Zhan Chen couldn''t hold back himself anymore after he dual cultivated with Hui Ling for few minutes.


    He started to move his waist more passionately as Hui Ling let out enchanting moans. He released his yang essence inside her cave when she released her holy water.


    "Go to your room and cultivate properly. I can see that you want more but that can wait. The most important matter is to increase your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke. He pulled her into his embrace and nted a soft kiss on her lips. Hui Ling took the initiative and gave a peck to Zhan Chen''s lips before leaving the room.


    "Yin Ran, I have a suggestion. Shall we call Hu Yali to join us?", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior Yali!", Yin Ran blushed slightly. She took a look at the mighty spear of Zhan Chen and nodded her head.


    ''May be with senior Yali ''s help, we can help senior brother reach his limit. I want him to rxpletely for once. It is too bad that we can''t satisfy senior brotherpletely by ourselves'',Yin Ran thought inside her mind.

    Chapter 491 New assignment


    The morning sun appeared in the distant horizon of the Grey ash city after the night of ambush was over. Many changes had happened within a single night and the entire city was still fully crowded and noisy. Cultivators had formed many smaller groupsand were talking among themselves.


    In front of the Lu n''s base, arge crowd of cultivators had gathered. Amidst the noisy crowd, a small group of beauties were attracting the attention from everyone.


    All of them were gorgeous beauties. Their youthful charm could sway the heart of any able-bodied youth. All of them hade from different forces. Despite their differences in origin, one thing was simr for them. All of them would be fighting under Zhan Chen''s banner in the future. So, they had chose to greet eachother and socialize among themselves before the uing battles.


    Among the beautiful girls, most eye-catching one was Jia Lingyi who was standing together with Sima Chunhua. As for other girls, Zhan Chen was somehow acquainted with all of them except for the beauty from the Jade orchid peak.


    Among the beauties, there was Lu Yumei from the Lu n whom Zhan Chen had met during his visit to the Lu n''s base. Another beauty was from the Lotus moon sect, she was the personal disciple of sect master Qian Shanni.


    Her name was Lin Xuan. Among the gathered girls, she had the mostplicated rtionship with Zhan Chen. Her mother, Lin Xintong had epted Zhan Chen as her man. It was awkward considering Zhan Chen and her mother''s age gap but she could see that her mother was really devoted to Zhan Chen. Lin Xuan didn''t know, how should she talk with Zhan Chen. A step father younger than herself was beyond her imagination.


    The only beauty in the group who was not acquainted with Zhan Chen was Zhou Ling. She hade from the Jade orchid peak and her master Zheng Ying was the third captain under Zhan Chen.


    "It is morning already but Zhan Chen has yet to appear. I don''t know why the Xuantian sect has appointed someone like him as amander", Lu Yumei grumbled.


    "I can''t understand it as well. What is so special about him that the peak experts like my master is willing to follow him", Zhou Ling spoke.


    "Sister Ling, forget about your master. Even an emperor like my great grand uncle is willing to support him. I don''t know what is so special about him. He is only a reckless brat who happened to inherit the powerful techniques of the ancient Zhan n", Lu Yumei spoke. Sima Chunhua wanted to say something in defence of Zhan Chen but Jia Lingyi gave her a look. "Sister Chunhua, it doesn''t matter what they think. Junior brother Chen will shut all of their mouths, once he joins the battle", Jia Lingyi sent a mental transmission to Sima Chunhua. They managed to remain calm despite the nder of Lu Yumei and Zhou Ling towards Zhan Chen.


    As for the person in question, Zhan Chen spent his entire night with passion and bliss. A line of white slid down from Hu Yali''s cave when Zhan Chen removed his dragon.


    "Hu Yali, it is good that you have be an emperor. You are able tost longer now", Zhan Chen spoke. He groped the massive half moons of Hu Yali while talking with her.


    "Master, I am d that I am able to serve you. But it is slightly disappointing that you have yet to reach your limit", Hu Yali spoke. She had faced the storm of passion for almost two hours but Zhan Chen had yet to reach his limit. "I am not at my limit but I am feeling rxed now. You inside really feels great while we are dual cultivating", Zhan Chen spoke. He continued to feel the softness of her buttocks while talking with her.


    "Master, you can look for me whenever you want. But for now, we should stop. Cultivators under yourmand are still waiting for you", Hu Yali spoke.


    "Okay, I am leaving then. Take some rest first", Zhan Chen spoke. He ced a kiss on her neck before leaving. Hu Yali slumpled to the ground after Zhan Chen left. Her beautiful white mountains pressed against the cold stone floor but she didn''t have anyint.


    Her face was full of bliss as she relished the wonderful sensation she was feeling at the moment. "Master, I am really lucky to found you in this life", she murmured after a while.


    Zhan Chen went into an empty house after bading farewell to Hu Yali. He closed his eyes and circted the Celestial yinyang Sutra. All the yin essence Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Hu Yali has released were absorbed by the yinyang diagram on his dantian.


    It lit up with faint illumination after he started to circte the Celestial yinyang Sutra. Streams of pure energy entered his body and hepressed them into essence energy liquid drops. His energy sea increased in volume after he started his cultivation. It took him only few minutes to absorb all the pure energy provided by the mysterious Yinyang diagram. He decided to cultivate a little more and continued to operate the Celestial yinyang Sutra.


    The empty house which he had chosen was facing the direction of the emerging sun. It''s soothing rays passed through the windows and was falling upon Zhan Chen''s body.


    The feeling of cultivating under the sun was quite addicting. Although it didn''t provided him with much yang energy but it rxed his mind. Zhan Chen cultivated for half an hour before choosing to stop. A rxed expression appeared on his face as he opened his eyes.


    ''Cultivating under the sun after a night of dual cultivation is quite rxing. I should try it whenever I have time'', he thought to himself.


    Infront of the Lu n''s base, many cultivators were getting anxious. Othermanders were present throughout the night but only theirmander, Zhan Chen was absent. "Master, is not Zhan Chen too much? Even experts like the four captains are present throughout the night but he has yet to show himself", Zhou Ling muttered while standing alongside Zheng Ying, the third captain under Zhan Chen''smand.


    "It is not necessary to wait here throughout the night. Even we could have left if we wanted. His absence only shows us that how serious he is about his cultivation", Zheng Ying replied.


    "He is Cultivating!", Zhou Ling eximed. A startled expression appeared on her pretty face as she looked towards her master.


    "I am not fully sure but that is what the Xuantian sect elders'' have spected. I have heard that Zhan Chen had almost no interaction with other disciples. After the Grand sectpetition, he is always busy in cultivation inside his own mountain cave", Zheng Ying spoke.

    Chapter 492 New assignment (2)


    "Ling''er, do you know why so many Xuantian sect''s elders havee to support Zhan Chen?", Zheng Ying looked towards Zhou Ling.


    "Master, have you learned something? For me, it is iprehensible that so many peak experts havee to support Zhan Chen, a youngster who is seven years younger than me", Zhou Ling spoke. A curious expression appeared on her pretty face as she looked towards her master.


    "I have indeed learned many things after talking with the Xuantian sect''s elders. ording to them, Zhan Chen is supremely talented but it is not the reason why they choose to follow him", Zheng Ying replied.


    "What else might be the reason?", Zhou Ling felt more curious.


    "It is his battle prowess that caught the attention of the elders. I have heard that he is unrivalled in his realm. I don''t know whether it is true or not but he must be really a skillful fighter.


    Beside his battle prowess, he is skillful in leading troops. He cane with impressive war strategies during most crucial times. In the battle of the Yellow stone city, general Chao has always listened to his opinion", Zheng Ying described.


    "He can evene with war strategies!", Zhou Ling murmured with a surprised expression on her face. She was about to ask another question to her master when Zheng Ying turned her head. Several other Heavenly tribtion realm experts sensed the arrival of Zhan Chen and looked towards the alleyway that led towards the Lu n''s base.


    After a season of intense cultivation, Zhan Chen was feelingpletely invigorated and rxed. An aura of profound calm and vigor radiated from his body as he walked towards the crowd.


    There was a huge gathering of cultivators infront of the Lu n''s base. All of their eyes turned towards Zhan Chen as he approached them with a calm expression on his face.


    "Everyone, assemble. Captains, please organize your troops," Zhan Chen announced after arriving infront of the crowd. His voice wasmanding which wasced with authority and a tranquil confidence at the moment. He Yu, the first captain and one of the most respected elder from the Sword Peak was the first one to respond to Zhan Chen''s words. "Commander, we will listen to your instruction," he replied with a booming voice. His tone was neither servile, neither overbearing as he expressed his allegiance to Zhan Chen.


    Following He Yu''s lead, the other captains - Lu Cheng, Zheng Ying, Qian Shanni, and Hu Wei - expressed their stance. All of them were quick to acknowledge their allegiance towards Zhan Chen. They were peak Heavenly Tribtion realm experts, yet their voices carried a trace of respect as they replied to Zhan Chen''s words.


    Among the crowd, Zhou Ling who was harbouring prejudice against Zhan Chen, watched with disbelief in her eyes. Even her master, Zheng Ying, acknowledged her allegiance towards Zhan Chen without hesitation.


    "He indeed has some leadership ability. Now, I want to see whether his battle prowess is up to par or not," she thought to herself silently.


    As a squard leader, she had to gather her squard members after Zheng Ying gave hermand. Other captains also swiftly assembled their troops after receiving Zhan Chen''s order.


    It took few minutes before the army under Zhan Chen waspletely organized. All the five captains were standing at the forefront of their respective groups as they waited for further instructions from Zhan Chen. It was unbelievable how a boisterous crowd turned into an organized battle unit after Zhan Chen''s arrival.


    Zhan Chen examined the army under him with tranquil eyes. His gaze swept past every gathered cultivators as he looked for their strength and weakness. A small smile appeared on his face when his eyes fell upon the troops under Qian Shanni''smand.


    "Senior sister Lingyi, have you made your decision?", he sent a voice transmission to Jia Lingyi. He had given her option to stay independent but she chose to follow Qian Shanni''smand instead. She had also brought all the Xuantian sect cultivators who were personally lead by Zhan Chen in the battle of the Yellow stone city. Zhan Chen found all of his women amongst the troops under Qian Shanni. Sima Chunhua, Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi were standing alongwith other disciples from the Xuantian sect.


    A look of bewilderment appeared on Jia Lingyi''s face after she heard Zhan Chen''s words inside her mind. She was extremely surprised because what Zhan Chen had done was not an ordinary mentalmunication. Generally, in a mentalmunication both parties involved could talk to eachother. Moreover, their was a limit how far they could be while having a mentalmunication. Martial ascension realm cultivators needed to be at a arms distance when they were having a mentalmunication. But Zhan Chen was atleast twenty feet away from her. So, it was very surprising for her when she heard Zhan Chen''s words inside her mind.


    Zhan Chen only gave her a smile after seeing the startled expression on her face. He skipped past her and continued to examine other cultivators.


    -----------------


    "I can''t beleive this brat! I thought he may need our help", Yang Yukong muttered. He was sitting along with Shui Liying and Ying Chao in the Xuantian sect''s base.


    "I knew he could do it. But his efficiency in organising the troops surprised me slightly", Shui Liyingmented with a soft smile on her face. When it came to Zhan Chen''s abilities and acheivements, her heart was filled with pride and joy.


    "Both seniors, can I ask a question? Are you two talking about Zhan Chen?", Ying Chao inquired. From Yang Yukong and Shui Liying''s conversation, he could guess that they were talking about Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, we are speaking about him. I have no doubt in his abilities but I was concerned whether he couldmand Heavenly tribtion realm experts or not", Yang Yukong spoke.


    "But now it seems like we are being worried for nothing. This brat is more capable than what we have thought", he further added.


    "All themanders have already assembled their troops. The special tokens of the Sky dragon alliance have already arrived. So, we shouldn''t dy any further", Shui Liying spoke.


    "It is time indeed. Ying Chao, you can distribute the missions now", Yang Yukong spoke.


    "Senior, I will handle it", Ying Chao spoke. He bowed towards both Yang Yukong and Shui Liying before taking his leave.


    An elder from the Xuantian sect approached Zhan Chen after he waited for a while. "Commander Chen, general Chao has summoned all the fourmanders. Please visit the city lord''s mansion immediately", he spoke after giving a courtesy bow to Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 493 New assignment (3)

    493 New assignment (3)


    In therge main hall of the City Lord''s Pce, General Ying Chao was already waiting when Zhan Chen reached there. "Good morning senior", Zhan Chen bowed towards Ying Chao to show his respect.


    Twomanders from the Xuantian sect, Li Wei and Zhi Jiang were already waiting when Zhan Chen reached there. Thirdmander, Hui Guo was thest one to arrive in the main hall.


    Ying Chao addressed the group after all fourmanders were assembled. "The Grey Ash City appears calm now, but it is actually not the case. Before exining our current situation, let me show you something", Ying Chao spoke. He took out a translucent globe and infused his essence energy inside it.


    As Ying Chao''s energy coursed through the globe, a scene materialized within it. Zhan Chen watched intently as a scene unfolded before his eyes. There was arge, swirling spatial vortex near the Yellow Stone City. From this vortex, one after another, ferocious-looking devils were stepping forth, their appearances menacing and awe-inspiring.


    Each devil was distinct in their physical appearance.


    Some were gargantuan, towering like moving mountains, with scales that shimmered in sinister hues. Others were leaner, their agile bodies covered in spiky armor, eyes glowing with a malevolent intelligence. Several bore massive, twisted horns on their heads, and some of their ws looked sharp enough to tear through the city walls of the Grey ash city.


    The cultivation levels of these devils were indiscernible, yet their mere presence exuded a palpable sense of danger and power. The area around Yellow Stone City had be a teeming mass of these bloodthirsty devils. Their numbers had grown exponentially since the battle of the Yellow stone city, turning the region into a foresakennd for the humans.


    "Commanders, do you understand our situation now?", Ying Chao looked towards Li Wei, Zhi Jiang, Hui Guo and Zhan Chen.


    "There number is unbelievable. I could have never imagined it if you don''t take out a Mirror orb to show us", thirdmander Hui Guo spoke. His expression was solemn after he saw the recording of the mirror globe.


    "Our Northern desert continent ispletely outnumbered this time. The worst is there number is increasing by every passing moment", firstmander Li Wei spoke.


    "Commander Wei, you are right. Our situation is only getting worst, the more we are dying this battle", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Therefore, the Sky dragon alliance has decided to deal with the devils as soon as possible. Each general are assigned with two responsibilities. The foremost responsibility is to guard the base. It is a given that we will protect our base in the Grey ash city. So, there is no need to discuss about it at this moment.


    The other responsibilitity is to charge though the enemy line and establish forward bases. If we are able to do so, we will be awarded with various rewards. The Sky dragon alliance hase up with kill points to encourage every cultivator. Each kill of a devil will be recorded by the specially crafted token. So, there is proportionate rewardpared to potential danger", he further added.


    "Tokens that can record kill points?", Zhan Chen looked towards Ying Chao curiously. He knew about some special trials where every kill could be counted but to count every cultivators'' kill in the Northern desert continent was something unheard of. He didn''t know, how the Sky dragon alliance hade up with such tokens.


    "Yes, it feels unbelievable but Sky dragon alliance has reallye up with such tokens. It can only be possible due to the Spirit pce''s assistance", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Bring in the tokens for themanders", Ying Chao sent a voice transmission to an elder waiting outside.


    Soon, two Martial ascension realm female disciples entered the main hall. Both of them were carrying two decorated silver tes with their hands. What attracted the attention of the fourmanders were the tokens lying on those silver tes.


    The tokens were intricately designed with metalic bodies. There was a bluish lustering from the intricately carved tokens which were adding to their artistic appeal.


    Zhan Chen examined the token in his hand after receiving it from a female disciple. A look of understanding appeared on his face after he examined the token with his soul consciousness.


    ''So, this is the case. Each token is branded with a spirit mark. This spirit mark has the distinct aura of the Sky tower. With the means of the Sky tower, it is possible that it''s treasure spirit will be able to keep tab on each and every cultivator who has a token'', Zhan Chen thought to himself.


    Sky tower was the supreme treasure of the Spirit pce. It was very mysterious as no body able to fathom it''s limit since it came into existence. Zhan Chen had already entered Sky tower and participated in its trials. He was very much aware how resourceful and mysterious, the Sky tower actually was. So, he immediately understood the trick behind the tokens after noticing the spirit mark of the Sky tower inside it.


    "The Sky dragon alliance has already sent tokens for every cultivators. Later, please send the captains and the squard leaders to collect them. We will note down their names and assigned ranks.


    Squard leaders are required to provide the name of squard members underneath them", Ying Chao spoke.


    "General, shall we send them now?", Lu Wei asked.


    "You can send themter. Let us discuss about your missions first",Ying Chao replied as he looked towards Li Wei, Zhi Jiang, Hui Guo and Zhan Chen.


    "Zhi Jiang, I want you to guard the Grey ash city. I hope you will ept this burden", Ying Chao looked towards the secondmander, Zhi Jiang.


    "You can leave it to me. It will be best for my old bones to be stationed inside the base", Zhi Jiang spoke.


    "Li Wei, Hui Guo, I want you to lead our attacks. Coordinate with eachother and push back the enemy line towards the Yellow stone city. There is no need to be anxious about the result. Retreat if the situation demands. One of our esteemed emperors will watch your back. So, you do not need to worry about the emperor realm experts from devils'' side", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Is the mission eptable to both of you?", he looked towards firstmander Li Wei and thirdmander Hui Guo.


    "General Chao, you really know me well. Nothing is more appetizing than a wholesome battle. I will definitely not disappoint you in this mission", Hui Guo spoke with a delighted expression. His eyes were zing with battle intent after he heard Ying Chao''s words.


    "I will apany brother Guo", Lu Wei spoke. Ying Chao smiled slightly after he saw Lu Wei and Hui Guo readily epting his decision. After assigning missions to Lu Wei, Zhi Jiang and Hui Guo, Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen. Other threemanders also looked towards Zhan Chen and Ying Chao as they were curious about Zhan Chen''s mission.


    "Zhan Chen, as for you, I don''t have any specific mission in my mind. You can do as you please but no matter what you do, don''t go too far frommander Wei andmander Guo. You have to assist them if they are in a disadvantage in the uing battles.


    You also need to maintain kill points like othermanders. I will be questioned about my decision if your result isckingpared to othermanders", Ying Chao spoke.

 Chapter 494 Leaving the Grey ash city

    Chapter 494 Leaving the Grey ash city


    "Husband, an imperial envoy is looking for you", Zhan Chen got a message from Shui Liying while walking towards the Lu n''s base.


    "An imperial envoy?", Zhan Chen muttered with a questioning expression on his face.


    "Husband, imperial envoys from the Xie n are well-known experts in the Centralnd. All of them are powerful cultivators,pletely loyal to the imperial Xie n. The least powerful among them has a cultivation ofte emperor realm. As for the most powerful imperial envoys, all of them are half step sage realm experts", Shui Liying spoke. Her voice was solemn as she didn''t want Zhan Chen to underestimate the imperial envoys.


    "I will meet him after giving instructions to the captains under mymand. It will take only few minutes. So, you don''t have to worry", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Come to the second floor after instructing your subordinates. The imperial envoy is having a conversation with elder brother Yukong and me", Shui Liying spoke.


    "I understand", Zhan Chen replied. The Lu n''s base was very close to the city lord''s mansion. So, it didn''t take him much time to appear infront of his subordinates.


    "Captains, please gather around. I have an important announcement for all of you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    First captain He Yu, second captain Lu Cheng, third captain Zheng Ying, fourth captain Qian Shanni and fifth captain Hu Wei, flew towards Zhan Chen after hearing his words. Zhan Chen looked towards all the five captains after they gathered infront of him.


    "Prepare yourselves. We will leave the city after all the captains and squard leaders receive their identification tokens", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You will receive them once you go to the City lord''s mansion. All the squard leaders are required to register the name of the squard members underneath them.


    These identification tokens are important because it can count the kill points for every individual cultivators. The more you kill, the more kill points you will umte. These kill points can be exchanged for cultivation resources from the Sky dragon alliance", he further added.


    "Identification tokens that can record individual kill points!", Zheng Ying eximed. Other four captains also felt surprised as they looked towards eachother with incredulous expression on their faces.


    "It is a surprise for me as well. I have asked general Chao about it. ording to him, the identification tokens are made with the assistance from the Spirit pce. Propably, each identification tokens can be sensed by the Sky tower. With its mysterious abilities, it is not strange that it can record individual kill points", Zhan Chen exined.


    "Commander Chen, what mission we are assigned? Please tell us. So that, we can mentally prepare", fifth captain Hu Wei asked. Other four captains looked towards Zhan Chen as well as they were curious about the mission that Zhan Chen had received.


    "You don''t have to worry about our mission. General Chao has not given me any particr assignment. We can do as we please but we have to assistmander Li Wei andmander Hui Guo if they face any precarious situations while fighting with the devils.


    He has ordered me to give special attention towards our kill points. No matter what, our kill points should not fall behind other groups", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "This is rather puzzling. Do we have to wait untill othermanders'' fall into disadvantage? If we wait untill then, I am afraid our kill points will be lesser than othermanders", Qian Shanni spoke.


    "Why should we wait? Elder Chao has given us permission to act as we please. We will attack devils whenever we want. Only precondition is that we don''t stray very farm frommander Wei andmander Guo''s group. That way, we can rush to their aids whenever they fall into disadvantage", Zhan Chen spoke.


    He went back towards the city lord''s mansion after talking with the captains. The city lord''s mansion was already crowded by the time he returned. Numerous captains and squard leaders were arriving in the city lord''s mansion to receive their identification tokens.


    "This little brat is amander? What the Xuantian sect is thinking?"


    "He may not be impressive but the experts under him are quite impressive. Even sect leader Qian Shanni from the Lotus moon sect has joined him. Few of his captains are not less powerful than ourmander."


    Zhan Chen heard numerous gossips about him as he passed though the crowd of cultivators. After entering inside the city lord''s mansion, he went directly towards the second floor.


    There was a bearded tall man talking with Yang Yukong and Shui Liying. He had an easygoing expression on his face but his somehow different eyes, gave away his identity as a true expert.


    "This brat is finally here", he spoke when Zhan Chen entered the city lord''s mansion. His eyes glowed with a violet hue when he sensed Zhan Chen''s arrival. The violet hue in his eyes stayed for few moments before disappearing. A puzzled expression appeared on his face after the violet hue disappeared from his eyes.


    "Strange, why can''t I sense his cultivation realm?", he muttered to himself. Shui Liying and Yang Yukong chuckled after hearing his muttering.


    "Seniors, may I enter?", Zhan Chen asked after arriving infront of the meeting hall.


    "Come in", Yang Yukong replied.


    "Greetings seniors", Zhan Chen bowed towards all the three emperors after entering the meeting hall. Shui Liying smiled slightly after seeing Zhan Chen.


    "You are Zhan Chen?", the imperial envoy asked. He had an amiable expression on his face but Zhan Chen quickly became alert as soon as he saw the imperial envoy. He could see that the imperial envoy was here to examine him and see through his secrets.


    "Yes senior, I am Zhan Chen", Zhan Chen nodded his head.


    "What is your cultivation realm?", the imperial envoy asked.


    "I am currently in the Martial ascension realm", Zhan Chen replied. Yang Yukong was initially calm but a frown appeared on his face when he heard imperial envoy''s second question. He looked towards Shui Liying but Shui Liying shook her head to signal him to not interfere.


    "What is your rtionship with second princess?", the imperial envoy asked.


    "She is a close friend of mine. I would describe her as apanion of mine although she wants me to call her as elder sister", Zhan Chen spoke. He appear wellposed despite facing sharp questions from the imperial envoy.


    It was turn for Yang Yukong to feel surprised. He had not expected that Zhan Chen would be close to the most beautiful woman in the Northern desert continent.


    Xie Lanying, the second princess was an enigma in herself. Everyone knew she was the most beautiful woman but none had seen her face untill now. Her beauty aside, her skill in handling her business and imperial affairs made her one of the most capable woman in the Centralnd. It was said that the current Xie emperor dotes on her two daughters most. One was the second princess and the other one was the ninth princess. Yang Yukong felt surprised after knowing that Zhan Chen was close with such a character. Compared to him, Shui Liying was rather nonchnt. She personally knew how terrifying Zhan Chen''s women picking ability was. So, it was not a surprise for her that second princess, Xie Lanying was close with Zhan Chen.


    "Yourpanion? You are rather impudent to describe second princess that way", the imperial envoy spoke. His expression became slightly cold as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Whether, I am impudent or not, that is something only second princess can judge. You are not in a position to point at our rtionship", Zhan Chen spoke. He was still maintaining hisposure despite facing the offending behaviour from the imperial envoy.


    "You really have guts. I will ask you onest question before leaving the Grey ash city", the imperial envoy spoke. His scrutinizing eyes had never left Zhan Chen''s face in the entire conversation.


    "Senior, please ask", Zhan Chen spoke politely. He had yet to getpletely irritated because he could feel that the imperial envoy had no malicious intention towards him. But his behaviour really got on his nerves.


    "What is your goal? What do you want to do for your Zhan n when you be a powerful cultivator?", the imperial envoy looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, you are asking two questions while I have agreed to answer one", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Are you answering or not?", the imperial envoy asked with a pressing voice.


    I am not obligated to answer anything to the imperial family but I will reply to the question because of my rtionship with the second princess. I can tell that you are not interrogating me on your own rather you are doing it because you are instructed to do so. So, I will help you in carrying out your duty", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The expression on the imperial envoy''s face didn''t change even after he listened to Zhan Chen''s words. From his outward apperance, he appearedposed but inwardly, a sense of panick overwhelmed his mind. He felt that his closely guarded secrets would be seen through by Zhan Chen if he continued this conversation.


    "There is no need for you to answer my questions. I am merely interested in you. You can''t tell that, I am interrogating you. Your words are rather defamatory in nature. Why would an imperial envoy like me would interrogate a junior like you? I felt curious towards you because the second princess has sent a precious gift for you. It is uncharacteristic of her to send a gift to anyone outside the imperial family", the imperial envoy spoke. He took out a mist white tailsman and handed it to Zhan Chen.

 Chapter 495 A special gift

    Chapter 495 A special gift


    "Spatial fluctuation!", both Shui Liying and Yang Yukong looked towards the imperial envoy with surprise in their eyes. They were not exactly looking towards the imperial envoy rather they were looking towards the tailsman that he was holding in his hand.


    "Do you know what tailsman it is?", the imperial envoy asked Zhan Chen.


    "I know. This is probably a Minor teleportation tailsman!", Zhan Chen replied. He was slightly surprised because he knew how rare and valuable such tailsman were.


    Now, it was turn for the imperial envoy to feel surprised. He was not expecting that Zhan Chen would have known about such a treasured tailsman.


    "You are rather knowledgeable considering your tender age. If you have heard about it, you most know how valuable a Minor teleportation tailsman is?", the imperial envoy asked Zhan Chen.


    "I know. It''s worth can''t be measured in spirit stones. It is like a life saving taisman for a cultivator", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Then you should properly treasure it. I don''t know why second princess is so adamant on giving you such precious tailsman", the imperial envoy spoke. He handed over the Minor teleportation tailsman to Zhan Chen after speaking with him.


    "Senior, please convey my gratitude to the second princess. I will thank her in person when I visit the Jade harmony city", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "We will know your worth in theing battles. Personally speaking, I have yet to understand why second princess is so adamant on helping you", the imperial envoy spoke before leaving. His behaviour was very unpleasant but Zhan Chen was thankful to him because he delivered the gift from Xie Lanying to him.


    ''Hopefully, this matter didn''t bring any trouble to Lanying. I have never thought that she would send me such a precious gift'', Zhan Chen thought to himself after the imperial envoy left.


    "Zhan Chen, what is your rtionship with the second princess?", Yang Yukong''s question disturbed his line of thoughts.


    "She is a very good friend of mine. We have met very few times but our conversation is very pleasant. She wanted me to refer her as elder sister", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Keep your mind open. Don''t let that woman bewitch your mind. You don''t know how crafty and dangerous that woman is", Yang Yukong warned. He felt little uneasy after learning Zhan Chen''s involvement with Xie Lanying.


    "Senior brother, don''t worry. He knows what to do", Shui Liying spoke from the side. She had no choice but to support her husband in this matter.


    "Senior, rest assure. I will be careful", Zhan Chen spoke. He left the city lord''s mansion after finishing his conversation with Yang Yukong and Shui Liying.


    "Junior sister, Xie Lanying is no joke. You don''t know how crafty of a woman she is. For the sake of her imperial family, she can go to any length", Yang Yukong spoke to Shui Liying after Zhan Chen left. There was a solemn expression on his face as he looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Senior brother, I know, you are concerned about Zhan Chen. But you really don''t have to worry. With his resourcefulness, he can''t be fooled by anyone easily", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Rather than being worried about Xie Lanying, I am more worried about the imperial Xie family as a whole. If they feel threatened by Zhan Chen''s talent, it would be a true disaster", Shui Liying spoke.


    "It is less likely that imperial Xie family would Target Zhan Chen even if they feel threatened. Without knowing the true extent of Zhan n''s capability, no one would poke that ho''s best. At best, they would pull some trick to get rid of Zhan Chen. As long as Zhan Chen is alert, he would notice such a danger", Yang Yukong spoke.


    "Let me talk with him once again. He should be mentally prepared to face such tricks and challenges", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Good. He will be fine as long as he is alert", Yang Yukong spoke. Shui Liying left the city lord''s mansion after speaking with Yang Yukong.


    "Husband, wait", Zhan Chen received a mentalmunication while returning to the Lu n''s base.


    "Liying", a smile appeared on his face after he heard Shui Liying''s voice.


    "What is the matter?", he asked.


    "We need to talk. Choose a secluded ce for us to meet", Shui Liying spoke.


    "Good idea. I thought I can''t find some alone time with you before leaving the Grey ash city", Zhan Chen spoke. His moodpletely uplifted after he heard Shui Liying''s words. He quickly changed the direction where he was going and found a secluded buliding which was far away from the city lord''s mansion.


    "Husband, I only want to speak few words. Why do youe to such a distant building?", Shui Liying asked. She was slightly puzzled because Zhan Chen had brought her far away from the City lord''s mansion.


    "My beautiful Liying. How can you be so naive? You may only want to speak few words but I want to spend some alone time with you before leaving", Zhan Chen spoke. His eyes were meaningful which made Shui Liying blush.


    "Husband, how can you be so mischievous in such a time? I am worried about your safety yet you are thinking about....", she couldn''t evenplete her sentence before her cheeks got reddened.


    "Ah! How pretty. Liying, how can you be so beautiful!", Zhan Chen eximed. He felt a fire burning inside him after seeing Shui Liying so flustered and shy.


    Shui Liying wanted to speak some cautionary words to him but her mind fluttered after she saw the look in Zhan Chen''s eyes. Her body also started to heat up after noticing the desire in Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    Zhan Chen walked closer to her and pressed his lips against hers. Both of them wrapped their hands around eachother''s backs and indulged themselves in a passionate kiss.


    Zhan Chen started to undress Shui Liying after their kiss ended. It took only few moments for him to pull off all the garments from her body. He didn''t spare her undergarments either. Before long, her magnificent voluptuous body appeared in full glory infront of him.


    Zhan Chen gulped slightly after seeing the magnificent beauty infront of him. He had already seen her many times but no matter how much he had seen her, her beauty never ceased to amaze him.


    Shui Liying helped Zhan Chen in undressing after Zhan Chen pulled off all the clothes from her body. There was unconcealed desire in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Her desire was not out of lust rather came from deep emotion. No matter when, she always wanted to got closer with the person she loved.


    Dual cultivation with Zhan Chen had a special meaning for her. Those were the moments when she became one with Zhan Chen. She felt dual cultivation was a way which allowed her to get closest to Zhan Chen.


    She could feel his emotion, his love and desire for her when they were dual cultivating. So, Shui Liying never ever resisted whenever Zhan Chen wanted to dual cultivate with her. Rather she warmly weed him to let him express his desire and emotion.

    Chapter 496 Bading farewell


    Zhan Chen pulled Shui Liying closer and pressed his lips on her luscious lips. His hands didn''t remain idle as he started to explore her curvaceous back with his hand.


    "Husband, let me speak few words before you do anything. It is about your safety. So, we can''t be careless", Shui Liying spoke after their passionate kiss ended. Zhan Chen was still groping around her back but she didn''t mind it at all. Her eyes were full of concern and emotion as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Fine. I will listen to you", Zhan Chen replied. He took a deep breath to control his impulse. His little brother was already protesting in open but he had no choice but to listen to Shui Liying''s words.


    Her jade white body was a sight to behold. With all her voluptuous assets and the concern on her face, she was like a fatalbination for Zhan Chen. He was barely holding back himself when Shui Liying spoke to him about her concerns.


    "Husband, you need to be cautious while fighting with the devils. Second princess may not be a threat but it would be a cmity if imperial Xie family feel threatened by your progress.


    There are also enemies of your Zhan n. There is no visible danger at this moment but I am really worried", Shui Liying spoke. She looked towards Zhan Chen with concern filled eyes.


    "My beautiful Liying, thanks for your concern. But you really don''t have to worry. I have my way to deal with the threats. I have already told you. As long as my enemy is not a sage, he can''t threaten me. I can protect myself even if I face emperors in the battlefield", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face. He felt warmth surging in his heart after seeing how concerned Shui Liying was.


    "But you still have to be cautious. What if your enemies pull tricks. They may send more than one emperor to deal with you", Shui Liying spoke. The concern on her face didn''t lessen even after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    "I promise, I will be careful. Moreover, I already have yourmunication tailsmans. I can use them to alert you if I sense any life threatening danger", Zhan Chen spoke. He picked up Shui Liying''s hand and ced it on top of his dragon.


    "Okay, I will believe you for now. Remember to alert me if you stumble upon any problem", Shui Liying spoke. She started to stroke Zhan Chen''s dragon with her hand after finishing her sentence.


    Zhan Chen wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her closer. He leaned forward for another kiss while Shui Liying was stroking his dragon.


    Shui Liying replied passionately to his advances as both of their lips met. Both of them nibbled on eachother''s lips while Shui Liying was caressing Zhan Chen''s dragon.


    It took them a while to finish their passionate kiss. me of desire was burning in both of their eyes as they looked towards eachother.


    "Husband, let me take out a mat I have prepared. I know we will need it some day", Shui Liying spoke. She took out a thick mat woven with magical beasts'' fur.


    "Liying, you are really considerate. It will really help us out at this moment", Zhan Chen chuckled.


    Shui Liying lie down on the fur mat on her own and looked towards Zhan Chen. Even a fool could understand the meaning in her eyes as she invited Zhan Chen to begin the ritual.


    "Liying, you are really a temptress. You may not know it but your art of seduction is growing with each passing days", Zhan Chen spoke after swallowing his saliva. He leaned down on Shui Liying''s body and started to take measure of her ample mountains.


    "Nnnn~", Shui Liying moaned softly as Zhan Chen started to y with her mountains in an unbridled manner. He molded them into different shapes while enjoying the look on Shui Liying''s face.


    "Liying, you are so pretty", Zhan Chen whispered near her ear. He ced a kiss on her lips and continued to move downward. Shui Liying arched up her back in pleasure when Zhan Chen ced a kiss on her beautiful navel.


    Zhan Chen was stroking and poking at all her pleasure nerves while kissing her body. Shui Liying felt jolts of pleasure running across her body even though they have yet to truly begin the ritual.


    "Husband, please stop teasing me like this. It is unbearable~", she looked towards Zhan Chen in a begging expression while Zhan Chen was stroking and kissing her beautiful thighs.


    A true dual cultivator could make a girl submit just by touching them. They hadplete mastery over a girl''s physique through which they could conquer them just by merely touching them.


    Zhan Chen had already earned that mastery through dual cultivating with all his women. He now hadplete grasp of a girl'' s pleasure nerves and how to stimte them properly.


    "Husband, please.....", Shui Liying begged again when Zhan Chen didn''t respond to her begging. He continued to stroke her jade white thighs while giving them kisses time to time.


    "Alright, I will stop now. Let me experience how my beautiful Liying tastes down below", Zhan Chen spoke. He yfully struck out his tongue and gave a lick to Shui Liying''s little sister.


    "Mmmm", Shui Liying closed her eyes in pleasure as her body arched up on its own. Just a mere lick enabled her to reach the zenith of the pleasure.


    Shui Liying enjoyed the beautiful feeling after Zhan Chen gave a lick to her little sister. She was expecting continuation of this pleasure but Zhan Chen stopped. Shui Liying opened her eyes with a puzzled express on her face. Zhan Chen chuckled after seeing the baffled expression on Shui Liying''s face.


    "My beautiful Liying. You should understand that our time is short. I would like to taste that area much longer but we don''t have time. So, let''s begin the true fun. I promise It will not disappoint you", Zhan Chen spoke. He ced his dragon infront of her sacred cave and gave a deep thrust.


    "Ahhh~So deep~", Shui Liying eximed. Few drops of water escaped her honey pot after Zhan Chen entered her cave.


    Zhan Chen didn''t give her any time to think as he gave another thrust to her sacred cave. The pleasure Shui Liying feeling was so great that her mind got muddled.


    "Husband, I love you .....so much", Shui Liying muttered amidst her moans. Shested only few minutes under Zhan Chen''s assault before releasing her yin water.


    Her entire body shook in pleasure as she released her holy water. Her eyes were Misty in pleasure when she opened her eyes to look at Zhan Chen.


    "Husband, thank you. Thanks for making time to see me", Shui Liying spoke. Her love and emotion for Zhan Chen couldn''t be more clearer as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Why are you thanking me? Is not it what your husband supposed to do?", Zhan Chen asked. He leaned on her body and started to y with her mountains. This time he was gentle as Shui Liying was still sensitive after releasing her holy water.


    "Shall we do it again?", Zhan Chen asked when he felt Shui Liying was ready. Shui Liying nodded her head silently as a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.


    "Get on your fours. I want to see how you look from your back", Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying listened to his demand readily and stood on her fours. Her curvaceous back was appeared in full glory infront of Zhan Chen.


    "Liying, you are truly bing a seductress", Zhan Chen spoke while examining her enchanting back. He ran his hand across her curves and ced himself behind her body.


    "Let''s begin", he spoke and prated her cave in a single stroke. Her beautiful half moons bounced up nicely as he pounded her with his dragon.


    "Pah~pah~ pah~", the sound of flesh colliding rang out incessantly as Zhan Chen pounded Shui Liying passionately. It was a mixture of moans and erotic sounds as Zhan Chen continued his dual cultivation with Shui Liying.

 Chapter 497 Bidding farewell (2)

    <h4>Chapter 497 Bidding farewell (2)</h4>


    "Thap! Thap! Thap", a beautiful melody of lovemaking rang in the air as Shui Liying rode Zhan Chen''s dragon. Her majestic snowy white peaks bounced up nicely as she moved her waist up and down.


    There was an expression of ecstacy on her face as she rode Zhan Chen''s dragon. She had closed her eyes and moving her waist up and down in a rhythmic motion.


    Zhan Chen was looking at the mesmerizing picture without blinking his eyes. Shui Liying riding his dragon was a sight to behold which he didn''t want to miss.


    "Husband, I can''t do it anymore. I am reaching my limit", Shui Liying spoke at a certain point. Zhan Chen held her waist and started to thrust from below.


    Drops of water came out from her cave as Zhan Chen prated her with his dragon. It took only few moments for her to reach her peak.


    A stream of holy water came out from her cave and drenched Zhan Chen''s dragonpletely. Shui Liying''s body shivred in pleasure as Zhan Chen pulled her downward to embrace her.


    Zhan Chen continued to thrust his dragon slowly while Shui Liying was still on top of his body. Few minutester, she becamepletely ready for another round. So, Zhan Chen continued to gave thrust from below.


    Few minutester, he switched their body positions and made her lie on the fur mat. He pushed her legs wide open and shoved his dragon inside her cave.


    Zhan Chen felt he was reaching his peak as he continued to pound Shui Liying. He continued untill Shui Liying reached her peak.


    He couldn''t hold himself anymore when Shui Liying drenched his dragon with her holy water. His dragon trembled in pleasure as he deposited his yang essence inside her cave.


    "Husband,e closer", Shui Liying whispered. Zhan Chen could understand her request for an embrace. So, he leaned closer and pressed his body against Shui Liying''s body.


    "Husband, today is a great day. It is only the morning yet I have experienced so much happiness", Shui Liying spoke softly. Her gaze was tender as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen''s dragon throbbed inside Shui Liying''s cave as he heard her words. He gave her a meaningful look and Shui Liying''s cheeks reddened slightly.


    "Husband, don''t be mischievous. Othermanders has already left the Grey ash city. So, you should let me go", Shui Liying spoke. Her body was also starting to heat up as she felt the reaction from Zhan Chen''s dragon. But she knew it was not the time to be willful. So, she suggested Zhan Chen to stop their dual cultivation.


    Zhan Chen held her snowy white peaks and gave them a massage. Shui Liying wanted to say something but instead of words, a soft moan escaped her mouth.


    "Liying, I can''t get enough of you no matter how much we dual cultivate. I am really unwilling to pull myself back at this moment", Zhan Chen spoke. His eyes were burning with passion as she looked towards Shui Liying.


    "Husband, please. Elder brother Yukong will suspect us if we can''t control ourselves", Shui Liying spoke. Zhan Chen bit on her snowy white peaks before letting her go. Shui Liying felt a burning sensation on her chests even after Zhan Chen left.


    "Husband is so mischievous", she murmured to herself while rubbing her chest. A mesmerizing smile appeared on her face as she proceeded to put on her clothes.


    Actually, as an emperor she could easily heal herself from Zhan Chen''s shallow teethmark. But she was unwilling to let the burning sensation disappear. So, she let Zhan Chen''s shallow teethmark remain on her breasts even when she appear infront of Yang Yukong.


    "Junior sister, where have you been? You are practically glowing at this moment", Yang Yukongmented. He was slightly surprised because Shui Liying appeared more radiant than before.


    "I was Cultivating" Shui Liying replied. Yang Yukong nodded his head in understanding as it was a perfect exnation for her glowing aura.


    He easily beleived Shui Liying''s words without knowing the full meaning behind her words. If he learned what kind of cultivation his aloof junior sister was doing, he would have died of shock.


    -------------


    Zhan Chen led his army out of the Grey ash city after bidding farewell to Shui Liying. He was at the forefront as he organised his army and led them towards the distant battlefield.


    "Captains, keep followingmander Wei andmander Guo''s armies. We will decide our next course of action after ascertaining their halting location", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Commander Li Wei andmander Hui Guo travelled for almost an hour before stopping their armies. After scouting around the surrounding area, they decided to stop near a hilly location.


    The area had three hills spreading horizontally, lying next to eachother. The twomanders, Hui Guo and Li Wei decided to make this ce as their new temporary base.


    Zhan Chen was observing the movement of twomanders through his soul consciousness. So, he could easily understand why they chose the hilly area as their temporary base.


    There was no sign of devils near the hilly area but some distance ahead, there was signs of devils'' movement. Both Hui Guo and Li Wei sent some capable subordinates of theirs to scout ahead. So, they got information about devils'' presence in the nearby area.


    By upying the high ground, they could easily observe the movements of the devils'' army. Moreover, their troops could rush back to the hills if they fell into a disadvantage in the battle. Both Li Wei and Hui Guo were nning to convert the hilly area into their stronghold.


    "Is Zhan Chen''s army still following us?", Hui Guo asked Li Wei.


    "Yes, they are probably still following us. Given Zhan Chen''s intelligence, he most have realised that it would be best to stick together", Li Wei replied.


    "This is for the best. I don''t care about a snotnosed brat like him but he has capable subordinates. He Yu, Lu Cheng, Qian Shanni, none of them are weaker than us. Especially He Yu and Qian Shanni, I still can''t beleive that they choose to take position under Zhan Chen", Hui Guo spoke.


    "Brother Guo, you can''t underestimate Zhan Chen. There is a reason why general Chao makes him amander. If you can''t see him as an equal, that is fine but don''t disrespect him no matter what. Even emperors of my Xuantian sect never behaves with him rudely", Li Wei spoke.


    "Fine, I will not make things difficult for him. But to treat a snotnosed brat as an equal, that is beyond me. A person''s acheivement determines how much respect he or she canmand. We will see how capable he actually is. I want to know why Ying Chao appoints a brat like him asmander", Hui Guo spoke.

 Chapter 498 Princesss concern

    Chapter 498 Princess''s concern


    "Holy daughter, you have finally decided to see me", a women appeared to be in her midthirties, was kneeling infront of Xie Lanying. If Zhan Chen had to witness this scene, he would feel very surprised because the woman who was kneeling infront of Xie Lanying was a sage realm expert. Moreover, she was no ordinary sage, she was a peak sage realm expert!


    With her cultivation, she could stand at the forefront of the Northern desert continent but such an expert was kneeling infront of the second princess at this moment. There was a look of deep respect and reverence in her eyes as she looked towards Xie Lanying.


    "Aunt Meili, don''t act like this. I have disturbed you because I have no choice left", Xie Lanying spoke. She walked forward and pulled up the kneeling expert.


    "Holy daughter, It has been eight years since Ist see you. You are Cultivating one of the most difficult technique of our Illusory heaven pce yet you have managed to progress so much in such a short period. Venerated pce master will be very pleased if she learn about your progress", the sage realm expert spoke.


    "It has been years since masterst visited me. I know it is very difficult to descend from the immortal world but I still wish to see her soon. It is very difficult toprehend my cultivation technique on my own", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Holy daughter, you need to have patience. I am sure sect master has her reason about why she was not seeing you. Moreover, I have full trust in yourtent talent. With your Nine exquisite lotus body, I am sure you will be able toprehend any cultivation technique from our Illusory heaven pce", the sage realm expert spoke.


    "Aunt Meli, I will try my best. But for that, I need to have peace of mind first. This matter is directly rted to my imperial father. So, I can''t be careless", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Holy daughter, you don''t have to worry. I will carry out my missions carefully", the sage realm expert spoke.


    "I want you to soul search an imperial envoy of my Xie family. I want to see his recent memories. But you have to be careful. I don''t want any injury to his soul", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "He will probably visit the Jade harmony city soon. So, that will be your chance to carry out your mission", she further added.


    A thoughtful expression appeared on her exquisite face after the sage realm expert left. "Imperial father, hopefully you have not taken any irresponsible decision. I don''t want to have any misunderstanding with Zhan Chen", she murmured in a soft voice.


    -------------


    "Greetings seniors", Zhan Chen gave a courtesy bow to both Hui Guo and Li Wei after arriving in the hilly terrain. He chose an unupied hill for his army to rest and rx.


    "Little brother Chen, can youe over? We need to discuss our strategies before attacking the devils", he received a voice transmission from Li Wei after his army settled in the unupied hill.


    "Senior, I am leaving our army in your hand. Both the emperors want to discuss war strategy with me. So, I have to go. After discussing with them, I will go to scout the forward locations. We can decide our further course of action after I return", Zhan Chen spoke to Lu Tai Cang.


    "Okay, do as you please but be careful. Don''t venture deep into the devils'' territory", Lu Tai Cang replied.


    Zhan Chen took a look at his army before leaving the hill. He walked towards a nearby a hill where both Hui Guo and Li Wei were having a conversation with eachother.


    "Do we really have to discuss strategies with him?", Hui Guo asked Li Wei. His gaze was currently focused on Zhan Chen who was climbing the hill.


    "Brother Guo, I have already spoke to you. Please be little tolerant. His ideas regarding war are very brilliant. I guarantee you will change your opinion after discussing battle strategies with him", Li Wei spoke.


    "Fine, you will do the talking", Hui Guo spoke. His gaze was condescending as he looked towards Zhan Chen. Li Wei''s lips twitched slightly after he saw Hui Guo''s attitude. He shook his head in helplessness and looked towards Zhan Chen who was climbing the hill.


    ''Brother Guo! Oh, brother Guo! You think only you have an attitude in this world. If Zhan Chen got offended, it will create problems for both of our army. We need his cooperation toplete our mission'', Li Wei thought to himself inside his mind. Outwardly he was smiling but inwardly he was cursing Hui Guo for his stubbornness and intolerance.


    "Little brother Chen,e over", Li Wei spoke when Zhan Chen finally climbed the hill. There was a smile on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Senior, I have made you wait. Please tell me what you want to discuss", Zhan Chen spoke. He took a look towards Hui Guo but seeing his uninterested expression, he looked away.


    "Little brother Chen, we are scouting the nearby areas at this moment. We will join our forces and attack the devils once we ascertain their strength", Li Wei spoke.


    "Senior, are you nning to use all your force at once? Are you nning to achieve a decisive victory in a single March?", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Wei with a questioning expression on his face.


    A trace of surprise appeared in Hui Guo''s eyes after he heard Zhan Chen''s words. What Zhan Chen was guessing was true as they had discussed to employ their full strength and push for a giant victory in a single attack.


    "How did you know?", Li Wei asked with a surprised expression on his face. It appeared like as if Zhan Chen could see thorough his thoughts.


    It is easy to guess actually considering our situation. There are only two options avable for us considering our circumstances. First option is a battle of attrition. You haven''t probably considered it because you are wary of umted loses to your armies in a battle of attrition.


    The second option is to attack with full strength which you have choosen. You are nning to push ahead suddenly and sweep away the devils in your path. Ofcourse, you are waiting to measure the devils'' strength first before nning for an attack", Zhan Chen spoke. This time Hui Guo couldn''t hide his surprise as he looked towards Zhan Chen with an astonished expression on his face. He couldn''t believe that all of his thought process would beid bare infront of Zhan Chen.


    "Yes, we have choosen the second option because first option is not viable for us. Devils have numerical strength by their side. If we go for a battle of attrition, they will grind down our armies slowly. So, instead of choosing this uncertainty, we are nning tounch a full strength attack", Li Wei spoke.


    "I can understand your strategy but let me warn you, it will not be as simple as you thought. Perhaps half of your armies will lose their lives if you decide to push ahead like this", Zhan Chen spoke. His expression was serious as he looked towards Li Wei.

 Chapter 499 Astonishment

    Chapter 499 Astonishment


    "How can you be so sure?", Hui Guo who was silent untill now, spoke out. He felt that Zhan Chen was needlessly frightening them even before the war had begun.


    "Senior Guo, I can understand your reasoning but you have yet to witness devils'' true prowess. Their fighting capability aside they excelled in cunningness and deception. If it is a head on fight, your strategy is viable but you can''t escape devils to fight ording to your wish. Both of your armies will face significant dangers even before you could reach devils'' stronghold", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Zhan Chen, are you concerned about devils with special abilities?", Li Wei asked. He had heard about the Earth devils and shadow devils. So, he could rte them to Zhan Chen''s concern.


    "Yes, our Xuantian sect has lost many disciples thanks to their deception. I don''t understand why you are strategizing to push forward even after knowing about their capabilities", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Wei with a questioning expression on his face.


    "I know, some devils possess annoying abilities. But, so what? We can ughter them after detecting them with our soul consciousness. I don''t believe, they can do much with the presence of our Heavenly tribtion realm experts", Hui Guo spoke.


    Zhan Chen shook his head after seeing how stubborn Hui Guo was. "Senior, I have spoke what I thought about the situation. As for what choice you will pick, that will upto you. My army is here to only give you support in your most difficult times. So, I am not losing anything no matter what decision you take.


    There is also another information I want to give you before the battle begins. Devils with special abilities are not limited to shadow devils and Earth devils. They have fire devils, subi devils and poison devils among them. There is also another kind of devils you need to wary of. They are called noble devils who possess bloodline abilities. You need to prepare yourselfpletely before pushing your army into war. I have spoke what I have learned about them. Now, I will leave it in your hands to take a sound decision based on our current circumstances", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Seniors, I am leaving. I need to scout the surrounding areas before taking any decision", Zhan Chen bade his farewell to Hui Guo and Li Wei before leaving the ce. Both Hui Guo and Li Wei had startled expression on their faces even after Zhan Chen had left. They were still processing the information that Zhan Chen had given to them.


    "Brother Wei, I think we need to observe first. There is no hurry in attacking the devils", Hui Guo spoke after a while.


    "Agreed", Li Wei nodded his head. Unconciously, both of them looked towards the direction where Zhan Chen had gone.


    ------------


    "Senior sister Chunhua, do you want to join me?", Sima Chunhua heard a voice while she was standing alongside Jia Lingyi. A puzzled expression appeared on her pretty face after she heard Zhan Chen''s voice inside her mind. She looked around but


    didn''t find Zhan Chen''s presence in the surrounding area.


    "Sister Chunhua, what is the matter?", Jia Lingyi asked.


    "No.. nothing", Sima Chunhua stuttered slightly but didn''t expose Zhan Chen''s conversation with her. She was still wary of other cultivators''s reaction if they found out her rtionship with Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, I have yet to hear your response. If you want to join me, you can descend the hill and walk in the northern direction", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Sima Chunhua ''s heartbeat quickened after she heard Zhan Chen''s words. She thought about the things she had done with Zhan Chen and her cheeks reddenedpletely.


    "Sister Lingyi, I need to find junior brother Chen. I have something important to ask him", Sima Chunhua spoke. She tried to appear as normal as possible but her reddened cheeks puzzled Jia Lingyi.


    "Junior brother Chen! Do you know where you can find him?", Jia Lingyi asked.


    "Yes", Sima Chunhua nodded her head.


    "Do you want me toe with you?", Jia Lingyi asked.


    "No need, I will return quickly after seeing junior brother Chen", Sima Chunhua replied.


    "Okay, don''t go too far. Ask junior brother Chen to be cautious. I don''t want you and junior brother Chen to face danger so early in this battle", Jia Lingyi spoke. Sima Chunhua bade her farewell to her and left the hill.


    Their captain Qian Shanni noticed her departure but she held herself from speaking anything after she received Zhan Chen''s mentalmunication. "Strange, I can''t find him with my soul consciousness", she thought to herself with a puzzled expression on her face.


    "Senior sister, you are finally here", Sima Chunhua saw Zhan Chen in her path after walking for a while. An expression of relief and happiness appeared on her face after she met Zhan Chen.


    "Junior brother, you are amazing. How can you send mentalmunication from such a far off distance?", Sima Chunhua asked with a curious expression on her face. She was feeling both happy and curious at the same time after seeing Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, my soul is slightly special. So, it is only natural that I can send you mentalmunication from such a distance", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Oh", Sima Chunhua nodded her head. Although, she wanted Zhan Chen to exin more, she held back herself. She knew everyone had their own secrets and as a renowned prodigy, Zhan Chen most have his own secrets. Rather than being dissatisfied, she felt thankful that Zhan Chen chose to expose his ability infront of her. It went to show his trust towards her.


    "Junior brother, why did you call me? It is rather difficult to exin to sister Lingyi", Sima Chunhua asked. Although she had a hunch about why Zhan Chen called her, she still chose to ask Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, I can''t control my impulse to see you. It has been only few days since we have dual cultivated but I am already missing you", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t bother to hide his desire for her as she looked towards Sima Chunhua.


    Sima Chunhua blushed after seeing the heated expression of Zhan Chen. "Junior brother, how can you think about such matters in such a tense atmosphere?", she murmured in a shy voice.


    "I also find it inexplicable. This baddie only have such thoughts inside his mind. I am looking forward to see some battle but I am disappointed", a somewhat immature voice interrupted both Zhan Chen and Sima Chunhua''s conversation. A vein appeared on Zhan Chen''s forehead after he saw the culprit.


    "Little dragon, are you asking for a spanking?", Zhan Chen asked with an irritated voice.


    "Ah! So cute. Little sister who you might be?", Sima Chunhua asked Long Xinyu who was floating in the air.


    "Senior sister, you don''t need to look at her. She is only a hungry little dragon who only knows how to make trouble", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Senior sister, I am Long Xinyu. Don''t let this baddie bully you. You can call me if you want to escape from him", Long Xinyu spoke. She struck out her tongue and made a taunting expression at Zhan Chen.


    Zhan Chen should feel angry but his lips curled up slightly after he saw Long Xinyu''s face. She was looking so lovely at this moment that no one could get mad at her.


    "Little dragon, what do you want? Can''t you see I am busy with this senior sister?", Zhan Chen looked towards Long Xinyu.


    "Big baddie, don''t you remember your promise? You have promised to bring me magical beast meat but you are doing other stuffs without caring about me", Long Xinyu spoke with an aggrieved expression on her face.


    "Heh~",.Sima Chunhua couldn''t hold back herughter after hearing Long Xinyu''s words. Long Xinyu''s antics were so funny that she couldn''t hold back herughter. Zhan Chen also smiled alongwith Sima Chunhua. All of his irritation quickly washed away after having a conversation with Long Xinyu.


    "Fine, I am wrong. I will cook some magical beasts meat for you after I send away this senior sister", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "You better remember. I want to eat all the magical beasts'' meat in your possession", Long Xinyu spoke. She nced towards Sima Chunhua before disappearing. Both Zhan Chen and Sima Chunhua smiled towards eachother after Long Xinyu vanished. Her presence lightened up both of their moods and rxed their minds.


    "Senior sister, let''s find a good ce for us while scouting the surrounding area", Zhan Chen spoke.

 Chapter 500 Sima Chunhuas curiousity

    500 Sima Chunhua''s curiousity


    "Holy daughter, I have obtained the memory of that imperial envoy as you have asked", the peak sage realm expert appeared infront of Xie Lanying after a while.


    Xie Lanying was sitting leisurely on an exquisite wooden chair when the sage realm expert appeared infront of her.


    "Transmit the memory to me. I want to know all of his activities in the Grey ash city", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "As you wish", the sage realm expert pressed her finger on Xie Lanying ''s forehead. A frown appeared on Xie Lanying''s face after she went through the imperial envoy''s memories.


    "Aunt Meili, you may return for now. But I may need your help more frequently in the future.


    The Northern desert continent is going through a turbulent phase. It will be more chaotic with every passing day. Depending on how chaotic the situation is, I may need your help more frequently", Xie Lanying spoke.


    "Holy daughter, I can see as much. The devil race is invading and there are uprising of many hidden forces. If you face any difficulty, don''t hesitate to contact me again", the sage realm expert spoke.


    "I will take my leave now", she spoke to Xie Lanying. She disappeared into thin air after Xie Lanying nodded her head.


    A thoughtful expression appeared on Xie Lanying''s face after the sage realm expert vanished. ''Fortunately, imperial envoy Hong has not gone too far. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to exin my imperial family''s stance to Zhan Chen'', she thought to herself.


    ''But one thing is reassuring. He is considerate towards my feelings while dealing with imperial envoy Hong'', a beautiful smile appeared on her face as the thoughts about Zhan Chen appeared in her mind.


    ------------


    "Junior brother, who is that little girl? She is so cute and pretty...", Sima Chunhua looked towards Zhan Chen after Long Xinyu left. She couldn''t hold back her curiousity even for a moment after Long Xinyu vanished.


    "Do you remember the incident in the Grand sectpetition where many disciples died in the Serpentine forest?", Zhan Chen asked Sima Chunhua.


    "Yes, there is a devilish girl who has manipted all the magical beasts in the Serpentine forest. So many talented participants have died in that incident", Sima Chunhua spoke.


    "Can''t you see the connection? Little dragon is the sole culprit behind that incident", Zhan Chen spoke with a smile on his face.


    "How can this be?", Sima Chunhua eximed. She was speechless after hearing that Long Xinyu was the devilish girl who was behind the incident in the Serpentine forest.


    "Is she.....really a dragon?", Sima Chunhua asked with an apprehensive voice. Compared to her previous attitude, she was now slightly wary towards Long Xinyu.


    "Yes, she is a fully authentic genuine dragon. Even I can''t beleive my eyes for a moment when she appeared infront of me", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Both him and Sima Chunhua kept talking with eachother as they walked forward. It was a grasnd beyond the hilly terrain. Lush green grasses were everywhere as far as one could see.


    Sima Chunhua didn''t even realise when Zhan Chen walked closer to her. She was busy in spectating the beautiful surrounding when she felt a hand on her buttocks.


    "Junior brother, you....?", she didn''t know what to say when she saw the innocent expression on Zhan Chen''s face. Zhan Chen acted like nothing happened but his hands were still busy in massaging her buttocks.


    "Junior brother, we can''t be careless. Devils aside even seniors from our sect maight be scouting this area", Sima Chunhua spoke. She didn''t resist Zhan Chen''s advances but she expressed her apprehension.


    "Senior sister, you don''t have to worry. I am merely curious about how soft this area of yours is", Zhan Chen spoke. His hands were were busy in massaging her buttocks while he was talking with Sima Chunhua.


    "Junior brother, don''t be impulsive. It will be ufortable for me if you do not stop", Sima Chunhua spoke. Her eyes were slightly misty as she looked towards Zhan Chen. Currents of pleasure were coarsing through her body as Zhan Chen continued to massage her buttocks. There was already a wet patch in her undergarment as Zhan Chen continued his advances. She had no choice but to ask Zhan Chen to let her go.


    "Okay, I am stopping for now but we will continue when we discover a good ce", Zhan Chen spoke. Sima Chunhua nodded her head with reddened cheeks and separated herself from Zhan Chen''s hands.


    "These treacherous bastards!", Zhan Chen suddenly cursed out loudly. Sima Chunhua didn''t understand what happened to Zhan Chen in such an ambiguous moment.


    "Senior sister, follow me", Zhan Chen spoke. He held Sima Chunhua''s hand and dashed towards his left.


    "Heaven!", Sima Chunhua eximed in fright after seeing the scene ahead of her. There was a headless corpse lying in the ground. There was still blood oozing out from the corpse''s neck which proved that his head was cut not long ago.


    The corpse''s body was intact but his hands werecking any flesh. Someone had stripped all of his flesh from both of his hands untill only the bones were left.


    It was a shocking sight which frightened Sima Chunhua. She started to shiver mildly as she witnessed the gruesome death infront of her.


    "He is one of our sect senior. The least we can do is give him a proper burial", Zhan Chen spoke. He pointed his hand towards the ground and multiple energy swords went crashing towards the ground.


    It took only few moments for him to dug up a deep man sized hole. "Senior, you should rest. I, Zhan Chen will bear witness to your burial as you go into eternal slumber. The Xuantian sect will always remember your supreme sacrifice", Zhan Chen spoke after cing the dead body inside the man sized hole.


    Sima Chunhua got her bearing and used her essence energy to assist Zhan Chen. Before long, the man sized hole was filled with soil. She knelt down and kowtowed towards the burial. There was deep reverence and mncholy in her eyes as she looked towards the burial. Zhan Chen also knelt down and kowtowed once along with Sima Chunhua. A downcast expression appeared on Sima Chunhua''s face as they left the burial ce.


    "A heavenly tribtion realm expert from our sect died like this. The battle has yet to begin yet we have already lost such a powerful expert", Sima Chunhua spoke after walking into the distance.


    "Senior sister, don''t worry about the battle. The only thing you should focus on is your cultivation. As long you are strong, nothing can frighten you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Finally 500th chapter! Thanks everyone for supporting me in this journey.

 Chapter 501 Changing identity of the predator and the preys

    501 Changing identity of the predator and the preys


    "Junior brother, we are going more deep into the devils'' territories. When are you nning to return?", Sima Chunhua asked. She was slightly afraid after seeing the death of the Xuantian sect elder.


    "Senior sister, what is there to afraid? Am not I here?", Zhan Chen looked towards Sima Chunhua with a smile on his face.


    "Junior brother, please be careful. We should return after scouting for a while", Sima Chunhua spoke.


    "Senior sister, I am still looking for a good ce for us. We can y few devils for fun if they get in our way", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "What? You are still thinking about this....?", Sima Chunhua stared towards Zhan Chen with a speechless expression on her face. She couldn''t understand how could a person think about love and passion even whe facing life threatening danger to their lives.


    "Why not? I am not nning to return untill I get to dual cultivate with you", Zhan Chen spoke. Heid his desire bare as there was no point in hiding his goal from Sima Chunhua.


    "Junior brother, how can you think about doing those things under such circumstances?", Sima Chunhua looked towards Zhan Chen with reddened cheeks. She appeared more charming to Zhan Chen with the red tinge on both of her cheeks.


    Sima Chunhua didn''t discover any scouts other than the dead Xuantian sect elder. Zhan Chen hade across few scouts through his soul consciousness but he carefully avoided them.


    The farther they got from the hill range, the less scouts they had discovered in the surrounding. Finally, there was a point when Zhan Chen couldn''t discover any scouts in the surrounding area.


    They discovered a small hamlet near a stream after walking for a while. There was no trace of any creature in the surrounding area. The hamlet appeared to be abandoned when Zhan Chen and Sima Chunhua entered inside.


    "Junior brother, watch out", a horrified expression appeared on the face of Sima Chunhua when a devil suddenly attacked Zhan Chen. But she was oblivious that another devil had appeared behind her and trying to stab it''s w through her belly.


    The devil who was attacking Zhan Chen had a hideous grim on its face. He thought that he had sessfully sneak attacked Zhan Chen but to its astonishment, Zhan Chen dodged to his side just before it''s attack could reach him. He activated Ethereal cloud steps and appeared near Sima Chunhua in the nick of time.


    Sima Chunhua felt cold all over body when she saw the devil who had sneaked behind her. She was fortunate that Zhan Chen was watching over her security. If she was alone, she would have already fallen in this small hamlet.


    Zhan Chen appeared infront of Sima Chunhua in the nick of time and pulled her aside. Only her clothes were shredded when the devilunched it''s attack towards her.


    "Ke ke ke, we have found some interesting preys. They have managed to see through our sneak attack", a devil spoke.


    "The girl'' body goes to me. As for the boy, you can have it", the devil who had sneak attacked Sima Chunhua spoke. He had a greedy expression on his face as he looked towards Sima Chunhua. They were talking in devil dialect but Zhan Chen could understand their words because he had obtained the memories of his shadow devil ve.


    "Merely two Martial ascension realm shadow devils. Yet you are dreaming about killing me and my woman?", Zhan Chen looked towards the the two devils with a sneer on his face. They were able to avoid his soul consciousness due to their camouging abilities as shadow devils. Now that they had exposed themselves, he had nothing to fear.


    "Human, you can speak our dialect?", the two shadow devils looked towards Zhan Chen with surprised expression on their faces. Even Sima Chunhua was looking towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression as she heard the strangenguageing from his mouth.


    "Devilnguage is not so special. Anyone can learn it if theye across thenguage", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Alright, let me earn some killing points. I have to prepare the alliance token first", Zhan Chen spoke. He took out the Sky dragon alliance''s token and poked his finger with his nail. The Sky dragon alliance''s token glowed with a bluish luster as it absorbed Zhan Chen''s blood.


    Sima Chunhua was startled at first but she was nowpletely speechless. Amidst such a tense situation, Zhan Chen''s action managed to entertain her.


    "Junior brother, you can''t act reckless. Both of these devils'' cultivation levels are higher than us", she spoke to Zhan Chen. She had already taken out her sword and facing the two shadow devils with a fighting stance.


    "Retreat if you feel something amiss. This brat is acting strangely. He knows our dialect. Moreover, there is not a sheard of fear in his eyes when he looks towards us", the two devils spoke among themselves with their soul consciousness. They were nning to take Zhan Chen by surprise. So, they immediately attacked him after their conversation ended.


    The attack of shadow devils'' were very strange and peculiar. Sima Chunhua couldn''t even intercept them when they bypassed her and attacked Zhan Chen.


    Both of them easily got closer to Zhan Chen andunched a w attack towards him from different angles. A feeling of certain victory rose in their minds as they managed to swung their hands towards Zhan Chen''s body.


    "Junior brother, watch out", Sima Chunhua cried out nervously. She wanted to rush to Zhan Chen''s side but the shadow devils were too fast.


    Zhan Chen merely changed his body posture and aimed his palms towards both of the devils. Two energy swords pierced through the devils'' bodies before their w attacks could touch his body.


    From a sense of victory to abject horror, that was the facial expression of the devils'' at this moment. Zhan Chen''s attacks were so fast that it surprised everyone including Sima Chunhua.


    Zhan Chen swung his palms once again and two heads rolled to the ground. Utter confusion, disbelief that was the expression in the devils'' eyes as they kept staring at Zhan Chen even after their death.


    Zhan Chen didn''t look at the devils'' heads rather he was more curious about how much killing points he had received. He checked his token with his soul consciousness and a smile appeared on his face.


    ''600 points! So, the shadow devils are worth 300 points each. I would have only received 100 points each if they are ordinary Martial ascension realm devils. The Sky dragon alliance is really meticulous to award extra killing points for devils with special abilities'', he thought to himself.

 Chapter 502 Passion

    502 Passion


    "Junior brother, how did you do it?", Sima Chunhua asked Zhan Chen with an expression of awe and admiration on her face. She still couldn''t believe her eyes that Zhan Chen killed two formidable looking Martial ascension realm devils.


    "Senior sister, is not it a good ce? Now that no one is here, should not we have some fun?", Zhan Chen looked towards Sima Chunhua with a smile on her face.


    "Junior brother, it is too dangerous. What if few other devils show up?", Sima Chunhua asked with a concerned expression on her face.


    "Beleive me. No harm wille to you as long as I am alive", Zhan Chen spoke.


    Sima Chunhua stared towards Zhan Chen''s eyes and a small blush appeared on her face. Her heart was still full of apprehension but a me of desire ignited in her heart as she stared towards Zhan Chen.


    "Okay. We can do that...", she replied with reddened cheeks. She tiptoed and gave a peck on Zhan Chen''s cheeks. After that she went towards a wooden house without looking towards Zhan Chen. Her face waspletely red at this moment. So, she didn''t have any courage to look at Zhan Chen now.


    ''Senior sister is so shy'', Zhan Chen thought with a smile on his face. He rubbed his hands in anticipation and followed after Sima Chunhua.


    Shima Chunhua took off her sect robe and stood only with her undergarments infront of Zhan Chen. She was not looking at Zhan Chen. So, only her back view was avable for Zhan Chen''s eyes.


    She had a slender back and jade white skin. She was wearing blue silken undergarments which appeared very enticing to Zhan Chen.


    Her body was heating up in anticipation as she waited for Zhan Chen. She didn''t have courage to look at Zhan Chen''s face. So she could only look at the opposite direction and wait for Zhan Chen''s response.


    Zhan Chen had no nning to make her wait. So, he walked forward and embraced her from behind. Sima Chunhua''s body shivered slightly when the bulging part on Zhan Chen''s pant, poked the area between her thighs.


    Zhan Chen started to massage her ripe oranges while embracing her from behind. She didn''t have massive assets like Shui Liying or Xie Lanying but she possess her own charming features which enticed him.


    "Mmm~", Sima Chunhua let out an indistinct moan as Zhan Chen massaged her peaks. Her eyes became misty and her body started to heat up as Zhan Chen embraced her.


    Zhan Chen turned her around and nted his lips on her cherry red lips. Sima Chunhua also replied with passion as she tried to imprint the vour of Zhan Chen''s lips in her mind.


    Zhan Chen took off his clothes after their kiss ended. Without him saying anything, Sima Chunhua knelt down and started to stroke his dragon with her hands.


    After stroking his dragon for a while, Sima Chunhua brought her mouth closer to Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen let out an inaudible gasp as she took his dragon deep inside her throat.


    She stroked his dragon with her hand while using her mouth to swallow it. It was a cumtive pleasure which instantly fired up Zhan Chen''s body.


    Sima Chunhua looked towards Zhan Chen''s face time to time while swallowing his dragon. She wanted to check whether Zhan Chen was enjoying her hardwork or not.


    She started to slow down when her facial muscle started to stiffen up. Zhan Chen pulled out his dragon from her mouth and propped her up with his hand. He nted another kiss on her lips and looked towards her with a feverish expression on his face.


    "Junior brother, have I done it right...?", Sima Chunhua asked Zhan Chen with reddened cheeks. Only she knew, how much courage she had to gather to be so brazen and proactive with Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, it feels great. You have done a very good job. Now if you allow, we can begin our dual cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Okay~", Sima Chunhua replied shyly. She took off her undergarments and ced them aside. Zhan Chen embraced her once again and initiated a passionate kiss with her.


    "Let me tidy up the room a little. I am looking forward to have a good dual cultivation session with senior sister", Zhan Chen spoke. He used his essence energy and made the wooden house dust free. After tidying up the room, he looked towards Sima Chunhua with a meaningful expression.


    "Senior sister, I want to see you on your fours", Zhan Chen spoke. Sima Chunhua blushed slightly but she obediently got on her fours and exposed her exquisite back infront of Zhan Chen.


    She had jade white pristine skin and all of her curves were in right ces. Zhan Chen felt an overwhelming softness when he knelt behind her and grabbed her buttocks.


    He traced the crack between her thighs with his dragon and started to rub the entrance to her sacred garden with his dragon. Her cave was already wet due to her arousal. Her body shivered in pleasure when Zhan Chen rub her entrance with his dragon.


    "Senior sister, are you still concerned about your n? If you still have misgivings regarding our rtionship, we can do it like before", Zhan Chen spoke. He was referring to their dual cultivation inside the Oak ridge town.


    Sima Chunhua was wary of losing her primordial yin essence. She didn''t want to face the scrutiny of her n for losing her primordial yin essence. Before marrying someone, if she lost her purity like this, it would bring shame to her parents and n. That''s why, she requested Zhan Chen to refrain from entering her sacred garden in their first encounter.


    "Junior brother, can I speak about our rtionship to my parents?", Sima Chunhua asked. Her voice became serious despite both of their ambiguous entanglement.


    "You can. If you want, I can visit your n with you", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "I don''t have any misgivings then. It is very hard for me to control myself untill now. I truly want to be junior brother''s woman", Sima Chunhua spoke. Her voice was flushed red at this moment but there was a glint of determination in her eyes as she spoke to Zhan Chen.


    "Senior sister, brace yourself. It will hurt a little", Zhan Chen spoke. He rubbed her entrance few more times before prodding his dragon inside.


    He felt a soft barrier while pushing his dragon inside her cave. Sima Chunhua clenched her buttocks nervously as she expected pain from Zhan Chen''s further advancement.


    "So tight~", Zhan Chen felt he would explode inside her if she kept clinging to his dragon with such force. He massaged few of her nerves around her sacred garden before giving another push.


    Dee red drops slid out and denched his dragon in red. Sima Chunhua closed her teeth and closed her eyes in nervousness but her expected pain didn''t arrive. It only hit a little before her pain went away. She didn''t know when the little pain gave way to overwhelmimg pleasure. Zhan Chen kept thrusting his dragon inside and he stopped only when Sima Chunhua reached the zenith of pleasure.

 Chapter 503 To cuddle or to cultivate? Sima Chunhuas dilemma

    Chapter 503 To cuddle or to cultivate? Sima Chunhua''s dilemma


    "Junior brother,e closer", Sima Chunhua looked towards Zhan Chen with Misty eyes as she turned her body to lie on her back. She was feeling a surge of emotion after she released her holy water.


    Zhan Chen lie down beside her and pulled her into his embrace. The wooden floor felt slightly cold but the girl snuggling in his arms provided him with more than required warmth.


    "Junior brother, I will feel lucky if I can lie in your arms everyday", Sima Chunhua spoke. Her eyes were filled with love as she snuggled againat Zhan Chen''s chest.


    "Yes, I also think the same but you know, it is practically impossible. As long as I don''t hold absolute power in my hands, my loved ones can be threatened any time. I don''t want to feel helpless when I face my enemies in the future", Zhan Chen spoke. He used his hand tob Sima Chunhua''s silky hair.


    "Junior brother, I understand. I will be happier, the stronger you get. I will also not neglect my cultivation in future", Sima Chunhua spoke.


    "Senior sister, can we begin now? I can''t hold myself back anymore", Zhan Chen asked. His eyes were fervent as she pulled Sima Chunhua closer.


    "Okay", Sima Chunhua nodded her head. Her body started to heat up again on its own after she heard Zhan Chen''s words.


    Zhan Chen put one of her thighs on his leg and prated her sacred cave with his dragon while cuddling her. They shared few passionate kisses while he moved his waist.


    Zhan Chen lied down on the wooden floor and pulled her over his body. He started to thrust his dragon upward while holding Sima Chunhua in his arms.


    "Ah~junior brother, not so deep~", Sima Chunhua let out whimpered protests in response to Zhan Chen''s show of passion. Her feeble protests were like song of seduction which fired up Zhan Chen more.


    He grabbed both of her thighs and pushed her body upward and downward. It was an amalgamation of extreme pleasure and soft pleasure whichpletely clouded Sima Chunhua''s mind. She didn''t even know when she reached the zenith of pleasure again. She leaned downward to kiss Zhan Chen while holy water trickled out from her sacred cave.


    "Junior brother, continue to lie down. I will take care of you before we can do it again", Sima Chunhua spoke. She gave a peck on Zhan Chen''s lips before moving aside. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    She knelt down beside Zhan Chen''s dragon and brought her mouth closer to it. A soft moist sensation washed over Zhan Chen''s body as she took his dragon inside her mouth.


    "Slurp! Slurp! Slurp!", the amorous sound of lovemaking rang in the air as Sima Chunhua used her mouth to please Zhan Chen''s dragon. Zhan Chen closed his eyes after few minutes and enjoyed the overwhelming pleasure coarsing through his body.


    Sima Chunhua felt very pleased after seeing Zhan Chen''s reaction. She continued her work with more determination after making sure that Zhan Chen was enjoying her service.


    "Senior sister, this should be enough. Lie down first", Zhan Chen spoke. His eyes were almost burning as he looked towards Sima Chunhua.


    Sima Chunhua''s heart skipped beat after she saw Zhan Chen''s reaction. She obediently let go of Zhan Chen''s dragon and lie down on the wooden floor.


    Zhan Chen pushed her thighs apart and shoved his dragon inside her cave. He leaned downward to kiss her lips while pounding her with his dragon. Each of strokes felt more intense and powerful than earlier. Sima Chunhua felt she was losing control of her mind only after receiving five to six strokes.


    Zhan Chen continued to pound her even after she released her holy water. He was reaching his limit as well. So, his strokes were more intense and powerful than earlier.


    Finally with a deep thrust, he flooded the inside of Sima Chunhua''s cave. His dragon trembled in ecstacy as it released a huge amount of yang essence inside Sima Chunhua''s cave.


    Sima Chunhua felt very rxed and light headed after sharing an intense cultivation session with Zhan Chen. She wanted to cuddle with Zhan Chen right away but she knew that it was the best time for her to practice the Yin nourishment technique.


    "Senior sister, we can cuddle whenever you want. For now, focus on increasing your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke after nting a kiss on her lips. She was troubled with whether to cuddle or cultivate which amused him.


    "Okay", Sima Chunhua nodded her head. She was slightly worried about their safety but she chose to beleive Zhan Chen. She sat cross legged and closed her eyes.


    Unbestknown to her, two devil entities appeared outside the wooden house while she was deep in cultivation. Zhan Chen was already outside the wooden house when the two devils appeared.


    "Greetings master", both the devils knelt down immediately after seeing Zhan Chen. Their expression was reverent as they looked towards him.


    "Don''t go anywhere near our Xuantian sect''s camp. From here on, this will be our hidden base. Your work is to monitor everyone''s activity from shadow. Don''t fight anyone without my order", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Understood, master", both the shadow devil and the earth devil replied at the same time.


    "You may hide yourself", Zhan Chen dismissed them after giving hismand. He spread his soul consciousness far and wide to inspect the surrounding area. He remained cautious though as he didn''t want to attract any unwanted person.


    Slowly, his soul consciousness covered more and more area. There was no one in the vicinity of the small hamlet but he discovered a group of devils far away from the hamlet.


    His body trembled in anger when he saw what was happening. The devils had bound three young girls with arge tree. The devils had used strong creeper type nts to bound the bodies of three girls.


    Zhan Chen could see that all the three girl were only at Meridian opening realm. They were screaming hoarsely as devils were pulling at their fleshes from time to time. They had utterly horrified and helpless expression as the devils continued to skin them alive.


    "Bastards! I will show you what torture actually feels like", Zhan Chen muttered. He sent amand to the shadow devil and the earth devil before rushing towards that direction.


    "Brothers, it is really fun to y with these humans", a devil spoke. They were enjoying fine wine while enjoying the screams of three meridian opening realm human girls.


    They could have kill Meridian opening realm humans easily but they chose not to. It was crystal clear that they were torturing the human girls for fun.


    "To tell you the truth, I prefer human females than males. Their flesh was more tender", another devil spoke.


    "Exactly. Moreover mature women are no fun. I like immature ones who are easily scared and struggle more", one of theirpanions spoke.


    "I wonder how all of your flesh will taste? Let''s find out", a chilly voice interrupted their conversation. The devils werepletely surprised by the interruption as they looked towards the distance, in search of the person who had just spoken.

 Chapter 504 The devils nightmare

    504 The devils'' nightmare


    The devils turned their heads to look towards the distance when their conversation was interrupted. Amidst the rustling of wild grass, a tall and lean young man approached them. His gaze was chilly as he raised his head to look towards the malevolent looking devils.


    It was only a gaze but the devils felt like they had seen the most scariest creature in this world. Their bodies involuntary trembled as their eyes met with Zhan Chen''s.


    Zhan Chen ignored the horrified devils and appeared infront of the three girls who were tied to a tree. A frown appeared on his face as he observed their mental state.


    "You have been through a lot. Just sleep for a while. Your bodies will be fine when you wake up", he spoke softly.


    The three girls wanted to say something out of gratitude but their consciousness blurred before they could say anything. They felt something warm embraced their soul as they fell into deep sleep.


    Zhan Chen treated the wounded girls one by one. His gaze became more frosty as he observed all kind of bruises and wounds all over the three girls'' bodies.


    They had fractures in many of their bones. Their legs and hands were missing flesh in many parts. It was horrifying just to look at. He couldn''t even imagine how the three girls bear such kind of torture. He took out few medicinal pills from his spatial ring and fade the girls. Then he used his own essence energy to help them digest the medicinal pill.


    The devils snapped out of their fear after a while when Zhan Chen was treating the three girls. All of them looked towards eachother andmunicated with their eyes.


    They always act as a group even when they were in their homend. So, there was tacit understanding between them although they had not spoken a single word.


    Within moments after their eye contact, all five of them started to run in different directions. They tried with all of their might to get away from Zhan Chen. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Zhan Chen didn''t even bother to turn his head. He released his overbearing soul aura and the five devils froze in their respective tracks. All of their eyes became wide with horror and disbelief as they felt the overbearing aura restraining their movement.


    Soul aura of a sage! All the devils present had vast exposure. So, they immediately knew what kind of soul aura restraining them. If they were ignorant about the soul aura of a sage, they would have felt better. Because of their experience with the devil sages, they knew exactly what kind of existence they were facing at the moment. Their heart gradually filled with dread and despair as they watched Zhan Chen treating the three human girls.


    Zhan Chen turned around after treating all the three girls. His gaze was chilly as he looked towards the malevolent looking devils.


    "So, you enjoy tasting human flesh! No, it is not only human flesh rather you enjoy tasting flesh of all kind of creatures. Even sometime you can''t help yourselves but taste flesh of your own kinds", Zhan Chen spoke slowly. All the five devils shivered when his chilly gaze fell upon their bodies.


    "I will let you enjoy some more flesh. You will eat flesh untill all of your deaths", Zhan Chen spoke. A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes as he looked towards one of the devils.


    The devil''s eyes became clouded for a moment before turning normal. Now, he had a reverent expression on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.


    "Master", he knelt down immediately to show his respect.


    "Taste the flesh of all four of yourpanions. I want you to treat them like you have treated those three young girls", Zhan Chen spoke. His eyes were chilly as he looked towards all the five devils.


    "No!", It was the first response from the devil who got attacked by hispanion. He tried to turn away his body but to his utter horror, he couldn''t move his body even an inch. He watched with shock and terror as hispanion tore away a piece of his arm and started to devour the piece of his flesh right away.


    "Zou Kui,e back to your sense. How can you harm our brothers like this?", a devil shouted from afar after gathering all the courage he had at this moment. He didn''t dare to look towards Zhan Chen''s direction. So, he could only talk sense to hispanion.


    The devil ve of Zhan Chen, Zou Kui got disturbed by hispanion''s high pitched voice. He turned to look towards hispanion who was shouting.


    "Master has told me to treat you all like we are ying with the human girls. Don''t disturb me at this moment", the devil spoke. He was feeling very ufortable at this moment like someone was squeezing his heart. But he knew, he couldn''t go against Zhan Chen''s order. Despite their years of camaraderie, he continued to tear away the flesh of hispanion.


    "Ahhh", the devil shriked when Zou Kui ripped another piece of his flesh from the wounded area. Zou Kui didn''t go for a fresh location rather he chose to attack the wounded area where he had attacked earlier.


    It was a method to enhance the pain. Devils were enjoying the shrieks of young girls just a while ago. Now table had turned with Zhan Chen''s appearance. Now, it was time for them to shriek instead.


    No one who knew Zhan Chen in his past life would imagine that Zhan Chen could torture someone in such a cold blooded fashion. He was like a sunshine with a noble heart who only warmed the heart of anyone he hade across.


    He had tried to forgive his enemies in his past life. He wouldn''t go for a kill if it was not inevitable. Buting to this life, Zhan Chen had already saw through the true colour of the world. He looked towards the tortured devils with an indifferent expression on his face.


    ''Reap what you sow. Sympathy is only for those who are deserving'', he thought to himself. Such torture continued for half an hour before Zhan Chen told Zou Kui to stop.


    "Come closer. I want to take a look at your memories", Zhan Chen spoke. He ced his hand on top of Zou Kui''s head and took a peek at his memories.


    "So, you have choosen the Red wood town as your forward base. There are two Law glimpse realm devils who are protecting the town in secret", Zhan Chen muttered after seeing through the memories of Zou Kui. All the five devils including Zou Kui looked towards Zhan Chen with sheer terror in their eyes. They didn''t know, how such a freak of the nature born in the human race.


    "Zou Kui, kill all of them. You can kill yourself after finishing up yourpanions", Zhan Chen spoke.

    Chapter 505 Devils'' method


    "Master, please spare me. I will do anything as long as youmand", Zou Kui knelt down immediately after hearing Zhan Chen''s words. Even a ruthless devil like him couldn''t help but shiver when he heard Zhan Chen''s ruthlessmand.


    "Have you ever thought about leniency when you are torturing human girls?", Zhan Chen looked towards Zou Kui. He was not a cold blooded cultivator but the deeds of these five devils, chilled him to the core. Anything else like mass killing, sacrificing souls were fine because they had a purpose but these five were torturing human girls for their entertainment. Zhan Chen felt boundless fury surging inside him when he recalled the helpless faces of all the girls these five had tortured.


    "Master, please", Zou Kui pleaded again. Infront of death, all his dignity as a proud devil from the Abhorst empire disappeared.


    "Fine, I am not you. I will not force you to do the deed yourself", Zhan Chen spoke. He pushed his hand forward and five tiny sword rays came out from his palm. Zou Kui couldn''t even react when the tiny sword ray punctured his heart. His fourpanions put up a momentary struggle but their resistance was futile infront of Zhan Chen''s might.


    "Now, let''s see if I can refine your souls. Initially I am against such practices but I will not feel anything even I refine your filthy souls", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He collected five lumps of intangible soul and started to refine them with his soul energy.


    ''This is more troublesome than I think. These devils'' souls have too many impurities'', he thought to himself.


    He kept refining the souls for a while and finally the five lumps of soul becamepletely free of impurities. "This is a gift to three of you. If this method works on you three, I can use this method for my women", Zhan Chen murmured.


    The three girls who were fully asleep felt like they were bing more powerful in their dreams. Their souls strengthened as a whole and their fatigue started to fade away. All three of them opened their eyes at the same time and found Zhan Chen looking at them.


    "Follow me. I will send you to the Xuantian sect''s camp", Zhan Chen spoke. He didn''t even give them the opportunity to speak as he started to walk towards the distance.


    The three young girls finally came to their sense after Zhan Chen started to walk away. There are too many things they wanted to say to Zhan Chen. There are too many gratitudes to pay to him. But Zhan Chen didn''t give them the opportunity. They took a look at the fallen devils and hurried over to follow behind.


    Zhan Chen brought them to the small hamlet where Sima Chunhua was Cultivating. "Senior brother, thanks very much. We couldn''t have survived if you have not fought off the devils on our behalf", the three girls spoke. They bent their waists and bowed to Zhan Chen.


    "Rx, this is the least I can do. I will send you to the Xuantian sect camp after senior sister finishes her cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke. He sat down cross legged and started to cultivate under the glowing sun.


    The three girls didn''t even realise as they stared towards Zhan Chen while he was cultivating. It was only after few minutes when they realised what they were doing.


    "Sister Rui, senior brother is so handsome. I have never seen anyone more perfect than him", a young girl spoke.


    "We should learn senior brother''s name. I can guarantee that he most be a renowned figure among the disciples of the Xuantian sect", another of herpanion spoke. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "We have nowhere to go. In this case, we can only follow senior brother''s instructions. We should remember his kindness in our heart. If there is a chance for repayment, we should dly volunteer", the most stoic one among the three girls spoke. She was eldest and most mature girl among the three. There was gratitude and some unknown emotions in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.


    ---------------


    White Luan town, it was a small town in between the Yellow stone city and the Jade harmony city. As a town located in between the two biggest cities of the Earth province, it generally catered to the travelling cultivators. The town was generally filled with peace loving, amiable people who offers the visitors with best hospitality one could offer. The small town was under the direct protection of the imperial Xie family. So, no misfits dare cause trouble in the small town.


    The White Luan town which used to be a small paradise in the turmoil filled Northern desert continent, now appeared gloomy and abandoned.


    There was bright sun in the distant sky yet it seemed like it''s rays couldn''t prate the veil of darkness in the White Luan city. It had turned into a frontier stronghold of the devils who had changed the warm atmosphere into a sinister, devilish paradise.


    Strange devilish creatures had filled the White Luan city now. Many of them were thorny nt like species which were used to modify the surrounding air. Devils were using these nt like creatures to change the atmosphere of the White Luan city.


    "Bring over the corpses", a devil who was standing closer to the boundary wall of the White Luan city shouted. He was standing closer to a sinister looking nt which had tentacle like branches. What was scary was every tentacle had a mouth like part at the top of it. Poisonous liquids were falling off from the mouth like parts which gave an illusion that the strange creature was salivating.


    The liquid had a foul smell and it corroded the ground whenever a drop of liquid fell on the soil. The devils pulled a batch of human corpses and brought them closer to the sinister looking nt.


    ''Tip! Tap!'', it was as if a humongous beast was drooling. Large drops of poisonous liquid came out from the mouths of the tentacles. The devils ran away after bringing the corpses closer. The thorny tentacles immediately pounced upon the corpses as soon as the devils brought them over.


    The sinister nt strangely pulsated after devouring all the human corpses. Few minutester, it emitted arge amount of devilish essence into the surrounding.


    "Good, continue to feed it corpses. As long as the corpse eater fiend tree with us, we can convert any ce in this world", the devil who was incharge of supervising the sinister looking tree spoke. He signalled his subordinates and they brought over another batch of human corpses.


    I am taking a clean break. There is no excuse. I just want everyone to maintain a proper work-life bnce. Thank you for apanying me throughout this novel. It is a three year long journey.
