Chapter 1701: A Forceful Arrival!
Qin Chen made a slight adjustment.
He then sat cross-legged.
With a flip of his palm, a Sky Hidden Fruit lay in the center of his hand.
He first peeled away the skin of the Sky Hidden Fruit, revealing the crystal-clear flesh like a gem in front of Qin Chen's eyes.
"This is too deceiving."
Upon seeing the fruit's flesh beneath the peel, Qin Chen felt dissuaded by the skin, yet the revealed flesh made him salivate.
If not for the Little Fairy's presence.
He might have been fooled by the Sky Hidden Fruit's wild fruit-like appearance.
Discarding the peel, Qin Chen swallowed a Sky Hidden Fruit in one gulp.
"Refreshing."
The ingestion of the Sky Hidden Fruit brought a cooling sensation, clearing his meridians, bringing unparalleled comfort.
Not only that.
The Sky Hidden Fruit transformed into a stream of energy, gradually flooding into Qin Chen's body.
The Dark Tree at his dantian spread its branches at once, voraciously absorbing this energy as if drinking water.
Qin Chen hesitated not.
One by one, he consumed the Sky Hidden Fruits.
About an hour later.
Qin Chen broke through to the Primordial Flower Eighth Layer, entering an entirely new realm.
Yet Qin Chen did not stop.
After consuming the remaining forty Sky Hidden Fruits, Qin Chen finally paused.
By this time, Qin Chen's cultivation at the Primordial Flower Eighth Layer was completely stabilized, even reaching the midstage of the Primordial Flower Eighth Layer.
"This time, coming to the Evil Dragon Canyon."
"My Telekinesis Cultivation has broken through from the previous Three-star Thought Emperor to a Six-star Thought Emperor."
"Physical Body Cultivation has progressed from the Tongtian Third Layer to the Tongtian Sixth Layer."
"At present, Martial Arts Cultivation has also effortlessly advanced a realm."
"Most importantly, I obtained the rare treasure, the Heavenly Concealing Skin."
"This trip was not in vain!"
Qin Chen was immensely satisfied with this venture to the Evil Dragon Canyon.
His strength had greatly improved compared to before he arrived!
And, most importantly.
Once he seizes the cultivation resources from the national treasury, Qin Chen is certain to attain an even greater enhancement.
Then, Qin Chen himself looked forward to seeing just how powerful he could become.
Only by being strong can he protect all his family and friends.
Qin Chen made a slight adjustment.
He glanced at the sky, which had already darkened. After fighting until nightfall, Qin Chen planned to find a place to spend the night and return to the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect the next day to understand the situation before heading to Chu Imperial City.
Since he planned to raid the treasury, the cover of darkness would undoubtedly aid his actions.
When daylight comes, he'll first return to the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, then proceed to Chu Imperial City, observe for a moment, just in time.
"Whew..."
Qin Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air.
With sharp eyes directed towards the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect's location, a hint of worry lingered between his brows: "I wonder if there has been any turmoil these days?"
However, he soon shook his head, realizing that overthinking was futile.
One can only hope for peace.
...
The next day.
In the morning, Qin Chen left the Evil Dragon Canyon, casually capturing a Dragon Wing Bird and flew towards Chu Imperial City.
Meanwhile.
At the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.
During Qin Chen's absence over the past few days, the atmosphere within the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect was exceedingly heavy.
It was as if a great storm was approaching.
Three days had passed since the upheaval of the battle in Chu Imperial City.
On this day.
A Heavenly Guard patrolling the skies of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect noticed some commotion ahead.
He immediately focused his attention.
Vaguely, he could make out a group of people ahead.
The expression of this Heavenly Guard suddenly changed, a sense of unease rising in his heart, and he shouted, "Who goes there, halt!"
The noise was detected not only by him.
The surrounding Heavenly Guards also noticed it and hurried over.
"Kill them directly."
A cold voice echoed.
His demeanor was extremely indifferent, with an intimidating vibe that was naturally imposing, emanating a strong presence, sword intent surrounding him as if omnipresent, distorting the space as he moved.
"Swish!"
A flash of sword light was seen, and the Heavenly Guard's head was instantly severed from his body.
Falling immediately!
"You dare kill the Heavenly Guards of our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect?!"
The remaining Heavenly Guards, who had gathered, were both shocked and enraged.
"Go inside and report that the Nine Desolate Sword Sect, Demon God Palace, and the Royal Family have arrived. Call Ouyang Zhou out; we will discuss the integration of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect into the Great Origin Saint Sect."
Now, the Nine Desolate Sword Sect has also announced joining the Great Origin Saint Sect.
The speaker is Xiang Xuanyi, the current Sect Master of the Nine Desolate Sword Sect!
Shangguan Yue and the two Sword Kings, along with other powerful figures, perished at the hands of Qin Chen in Chu Imperial City, causing the Nine Desolate Sword Sect to lose face. Today Xiang Xuanyi comes with ill intentions.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, several Heavenly Guards' hearts trembled as their faces turned extremely grim. Has it truly come to this?
At this moment.
Several more figures came from afar.
Emperor Chu, Demon God Palace Master Mo Jiqing, and the Supreme Palace Master of Demon God Palace, Mo Zhentian.
Behind them were powerful figures.
Gathering of the formidable!
"Quick! Notify Acting Sect Leader Ouyang!"
Upon seeing this lineup, they immediately realized the significance, knowing that the enemies arrived much sooner than anticipated.
Several Heavenly Guards hurried into the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect to report.
"Let's have some tea."
Mo Zhentian casually suggested as if he was at home, intending to walk directly into the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.
"Sorry! Without permission, you cannot enter the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect!"
Even under considerable pressure, the Heavenly Guards stood their ground when seeing Mo Zhentian about to enter, stopping him and his group.
The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect is their home.
Behind them are countless families of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.
Before receiving notification, they absolutely cannot allow Mo Zhentian and his group in.
"Utterly foolish."
"You dare stand in our way?!"
Xiang Xuanyi's gaze fixed on the Heavenly Guards, his eyes akin to the sharpest sword, hard to keep open under their piercing glare.
The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect had been in a state of readiness these past few days.
Thus, the commotion immediately drew much attention.
"Xiang Xuanyi, Sect Master of the Nine Desolate Sword Sect, Demon God Palace Master Mo Jiqing, Supreme Palace Master Mo Zhentian, and Emperor Chu..."
"They plan to act against our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect!"
Seeing the prominent figures in the sky, the hearts of many Heavenly Blade Saint Sect disciples trembled violently.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a bloody scene unfolded.
The Heavenly Guards blocking Xiang Xuanyi and the others suddenly exploded on the spot, with blood raining from the skies, not even leaving an intact corpse.
"Bastards!"
Upon seeing this, countless Heavenly Blade Saint Sect disciples' eyes turned blood-red. This group was too arrogant, killing people on their turf without hesitation.
Yet, to Xiang Xuanyi and his group, killing a few Heavenly Guards was no different than crushing a few ants.
They didn't even care.
With steps, they intended to continue entering the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.
"Are you going wild here, have you forgotten where this is?!"
At this moment, a voice, like thunder, resounded.
