Volume 3: The Sword That Shines on the Demon Clan Chapter 2: Two Villains on the Villain List
The air is quieter.
It was so quiet that one could hear the square-faced cultivator swallowing his saliva.
A man and a woman looked at Wang Chen, their eyes full of surprise.
"Senior..." The square-faced cultivator smiled bitterly.
"I am a junior who didn't recognize the real talent. I hope you won't mind."
He bowed his head. At this moment, his mind was filled with one thought: those who dared to light a fire in the restricted area were all monsters. If there was a future, he must stay away from them.
Upon seeing this, the young man and woman immediately bowed their heads and performed the salute as juniors.
Wang Chen glanced at the young man. Since he wanted to settle accounts with him, he would not let him get away with the offense so easily.
The latter sensed Wang Chen's cold gaze and fell to his knees.
"Senior, I was wrong."
Dong, dong, dong. His face was filled with fear, and he kowtowed repeatedly.
The female cultivator recalled the nonchalant look on Wang Chen's face as he leaned against the tree when she first spotted him, and couldn't help but look up at him again.
"I have something to ask you. If you answer well, this offense will be forgiven. If you conceal anything, you know the consequences." Wang Chen said.
Please consult with me, senior.
The square-faced man said respectfully that he had already determined that Wang Chen was not a bloodthirsty person, and secretly thought that his life was finally saved.
"When did you enter the restricted area?" Wang Chen asked.
"Today."
The square-faced man had a bitter look on his face, as if he had not expected to run into a snag as soon as he entered the penalty area.
"Tell me what's going on outside lately."
Wang Chen has been in the restricted area for nearly half a month and has almost lost contact with the outside world. He is eager to know the situation outside.
It seemed that he had not expected Wang Chen to ask such a question. The square-faced man was stunned, and did not dare to think too much, fearing that he would cause Wang Chen to misunderstand him. He opened his mouth and said:
"If we talk about the recent major events that have shaken the entire cultivation world, the first one happened in Qiankun Sword Sect, one of the top ten sects of the upper thirty-three sects. One of the disciples is named Jiang Yu. It is widely rumored that about half a month ago, Jiang Yu actually killed his master and his entire family of junior brothers and sisters in order to obtain the sect's more advanced inheritance techniques, and defected from the sect. This news has been confirmed by Linglong Pavilion."
Wang Chen's face darkened. This was not because Yi Qianxing portrayed him as a traitor who killed his master, but because this news indirectly confirmed Feng Qianyang's death.
The square-faced man was unaware of this and continued, "Although there were disciples who rebelled from the Blood Blade Sect and the Black Demon Palace in the past, they were evil sects and we in the righteous sects always treated them as a joke."
"Now that such an incident has happened to Qiankun Sword Sect, how can their sect save face? So Qiankun Sword Sect sent out five law enforcement teams, composed of the four most advanced sect masters and all direct disciples, to kill Jiang Yu."
"Who would have thought that after the law enforcement team formed by Qiankun Sword Sect's first direct disciple Tu Shendu encountered Jiang Yu, this genius was actually severely injured by Jiang Yu."
"This fox." Upon hearing this, Wang Chen complained in his heart. He had never seen Tu Shendu before. This so-called heavy blow was probably an idea the other party came up with to avoid conflict with him.
Seeing Wang Chen's expressionless face, the square-faced cultivator pondered even harder to search for information during this period, and said:
"This Jiang Yu has another identity. He is a team leader under Young Master Tian. This incident has greatly damaged Young Master Tian's reputation. Qi Tian announced that Jiang Yu would be expelled from the Qi Tian Army and that he would send experts to clean up the mess."
"At this very moment, no one expected that Jiang Yu would cause a scene in broad daylight at a key location in Linglong Pavilion, announcing to the entire cultivation world that he was going to kill Yi Qianxing."
"But everyone is treating this as a joke. Who is Yi Qianxing? Even if you look at the entire cultivation world, he is a rare great cultivator. Jiang Yu has only obtained some sect inheritance, but he is making such outrageous remarks. It is really ridiculous."
"At this point, Jiang Yu's notoriety spread throughout the entire cultivation world, completely overshadowing Ji Ba, who had disappeared for a long time. In addition, there were rumors that Ji Ba had been killed and his inheritance had been taken away, which indirectly led to the demise of the Chicken Dinner Conference."
"Afterwards, Jiang Yu disappeared and was said to have come to the restricted area. Just a week ago, Qiankun Sword Sect's master Liao Tianyuan entered the restricted area to hunt down Jiang Yu, but he didn't find Jiang Yu, but met Ji Ba instead."
"Originally Liao Tianyuan did not recognize Ji Ba, but for some reason Ji Ba suddenly became aggressive and took the initiative to provoke Liao Tianyuan. During the battle between the two, Ji Ba's Six Dao Swords inheritance was perfected, and although he was at a disadvantage, Liao Tianyuan was unable to stop him."
"After this incident, people realized that Ji Ba was still Ji Ba. From then on, Jiang Yu and Ji Ba both entered the top ten of the evil list of the cultivation world, ranking seventh and ninth respectively."
"In such a short period of time, two peerless demon species have appeared in the cultivation world. This really shows the vicissitudes of life in the world."
The square-faced man sighed as he spoke, and he really looked quite weathered, as if he considered himself to be a righteous man. He had completely forgotten that he had just wanted to trick Wang Chen into being a cannon fodder.
Seeing that Wang Chen didn't say anything, the square-faced man racked his brains to tell some news like which disciple had an adventure again, or which master had fallen.
Wang Chen was not interested, so he interrupted him.
"Okay, you can go now."
The three men felt as if they had been pardoned and left with many thanks.
At the same time, they were ranked seventh and ninth on the villain list. Wang Chen felt absurd.
"He doesn't worry about too much debt. He is used to being wanted. But Qi Tian threatened to deal with both of his identities at the same time. This account will be settled sooner or later."
Most of the information the square-faced man just mentioned was true. He was sent out from the Qiankun Sword Sect by Feng Qianyang that day, and was slandered by Linglong Pavilion. He was furious, so he broke into the main hall of Linglong Pavilion and announced that he would kill Yi Qianxing.
Having made this decision, he left no way out for himself.
The reason he came to the restricted area this time was actually to remember some legends that he had memorized from the "Guangyuan Tongjianlu".
There are rumors that there is a real fairyland in the deepest part of the world, where all kinds of rare animals live, but they are all magical. He once went deep into the forbidden area and was scared away by a giant beast that looked like the long-extinct Tyrannosaurus Rex and spewed white flames from its mouth.
However, several travelogues mentioned that thousands of years ago, a teleportation array was discovered outside the restricted area. It was rumored that there was a great opportunity contained within it, which eventually attracted many masters to rush there.
However, all the masters who were teleported disappeared from this world without exception. In the end, only one person returned to everyone's sight. Although his cultivation level skyrocketed and he became one of the most powerful masters in the world of cultivation, he told the world that the teleportation array was extremely dangerous and eventually blocked it.
If one wants to kill Yi Qianxing and possess the strength to compete with the four young masters of the cultivation world, one must not hesitate.
Think about Young Master Huan, who relied on his own strength to compete with the other three young masters. This kind of true immortal might be a ranger and not very powerful, but as long as he is alive, no one dares to provoke him, otherwise, what awaits them is a terrible revenge.
In order to intimidate the world with one's own strength, one must have extremely strong military force.
Various clues indicate that the location of the teleportation array is nearby. However, those were records from thousands of years ago, and a lot has changed now. Wang Chen has been exploring here for a whole week but has found nothing.
Just now, when he pushed out his palm, he sensitively sensed a slight energy fluctuation.
If he had not been in the Qionghua Sect, where he had learned the skill of using his spiritual consciousness to guide the sword energy and perform sword techniques under the guidance of True Lord Bailong, he would never have been able to detect this tiny fluctuation.
After the surroundings returned to calm, Wang Chen flew towards the broken tree.
