Chapter 952 One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Four: Found Again

In a dense thicket of bushes amidst towering mountains, a figure sat cross-legged, protected by the "Radiant Pearl," which concealed his aura. His breath was heavy and scorching.

Suddenly, Chen Mo felt a tickle in his throat, and a wave of nausea surged up. He coughed lightly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

After spitting out the blood, he felt much more refreshed.

"The internal injuries have finally healed, and the broken ribs have been repaired and reset. Next, let's see if we can raise our cultivation level further."

Chen Mo muttered to himself and took out Bai Po's inner core. A night had passed, and some of the essence of the inner core had dissipated, but what remained was still extremely concentrated.

Chen Mo took a breath, tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and swallowed the inner core.

At that very moment, a monstrous aura surged into his sea of ​​consciousness, condensing into the figure of Bai Po. It was the resentment and hatred that Bai Po had stored in his inner core before his death, and it bared its fangs and claws as it charged toward Chen Mo's primordial spirit.

Chen Mo snorted coldly: "I wasn't afraid when you were alive, why would I be afraid of your mere resentment? Nine Heavens Forging Divine Art, refine it for me."

At the same time, he also activated the Gluttonous Gluttony Technique and the Golden Crow Blazing Heaven Technique to refine and absorb the energy of the inner elixir.

Such cultivation naturally involves a great deal of activity. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into him, but fortunately, he was shielded by the "Radiant Pearl," and since this mountain range was deserted and he did not have a Star Token, no one would disturb him.

Outside, the scene in the River Chart and Luo Book switched back to Chen Mo, wanting to see if his injuries had healed. When they saw Chen Mo swallow Bai Po's inner core in one gulp, the White Jade Tiger Clan's experts were instantly enraged and let out a deafening tiger roar. Some low-level cultivators even felt as if their eardrums were about to burst.

"You audacious brat, how dare he, how dare he do this!" The White Jade Tiger Clan expert's ferocious face seemed to want to skin Chen Mo alive.

Some cultivators who couldn't afford to offend the White Jade Tiger Clan secretly swallowed hard, feeling that Chen Mo's behavior was too audacious. At the same time, they were certain that if Chen Mo was still alive after the Star Domain War, there would definitely be another great battle.

"Quickly replace him. He's still cultivating, there's nothing to see. Quickly inscribe Dongfang Nishang's name and see how things are going on her end," someone said.

At this time, many people knew that Dugu Wu and Bai Yao were recruiting soldiers, and Chen Mo's Star Token was with Dongfang Nishang, so Dugu Wu and Bai Yao would soon go to find Dongfang Nishang.

Only major battles and standoffs are worth watching.

As the image of the Hetu Luoshu began to wriggle, Chen Mo's figure on it quickly transformed into Dongfang Nishang.

At this moment, Lin Miao and Lin Chen had already joined Dongfang Nishang, along with people from the Chiyuan Clan, Qingluan Clan, and Miaoyin Sect.

Because Dongfang Nishang possessed Chen Mo's Star Token, Lin Miao, Wen Mengyao, and the others came looking for her immediately after escaping their predicament.

After all, Wen Mengyao is a smart person. With so many points on her now, she's bound to be targeted. Teaming up is the most important thing.

At this moment, they were also regulating their internal energy, but soon, they opened their eyes, and a hint of coldness gathered in their eyes. Dongfang Nishang said indifferently, "Since you're here, stop hiding and come out."

A dozen beams of light descended before her; they were Dugu Wu, Bai Yao, and Ku Hai.

One line.

Dugu Wu stood on the leaves, his hands behind his back, his body motionless. He stared at Dongfang Nishang, and could feel Chen Mo's Star Token on her through the Star Token. He slowly said, "Where is Chen Mo? Tell him to stop hiding and come out."

“This time, no matter what, he can’t escape,” Bai Yaosen said coldly.

Dongfang Nishang sneered and looked at Bai Yao: "Your master said the same thing last time, but where is he now?"

"What did you say?" Bai Yao's eyes turned cold, and an astonishing aura emanated from his body.

“You’re nothing but stray dogs. If I hadn’t let you go last time, you would have lost your lives. Who do you think you can scare now?” Dongfang Nishang didn’t take Bai Yao seriously at all. Then she turned her gaze to Dugu Wu and said, “He doesn’t need to do anything to deal with you.”

"Looks like you're really tired of living. If I were you, even if I didn't kill us last time, I should have rendered us unable to fight for the next two days. But it doesn't matter, I'll teach you a lesson this time. I don't believe that if I capture you, Chen Mo won't come out."

A flame seemed to surge in Dugu Wu's eyes, and his icy voice was filled with chilling killing intent.

"It's only been a short time, and you've already forgotten the pain?" Dongfang Nishang stood up, her hand forming a fist, and a long spear appeared in her hand. She said, "I didn't cripple you last time, and it's not too late this time either."

Behind her, Wen Mengyao, Lin Miao, Lin Chen, and the people of the Chiyuan and Qingluan clans also unleashed powerful auras.

"Hmph, I've come here prepared this time." Dugu Wu stretched out his palm and clapped it lightly.

boom!
More than a dozen beams of light descended, among which were several powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, clearly from cultivators at the peak of the fourth realm. They formed a formation, surrounding the place where Dongfang Nishang and the others were located.

“Wang Yang, Yu Hai.” Lin Miao recognized two of them and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

A disciple of the Miaoyin Sect also said, "Aren't these two contestants from Daxuan? How come they're with Dugu Wu and the others?"

Dongfang Nishang frowned, then said coldly, "It seems that my imperial brothers are finally going to make their move."

The outside world was in an uproar.

"No, how did Da Xuan have internal strife? Aren't Wang Yang and Yu Hai both Da Xuan's players?"

"What do you know? Do you even understand the struggle for the throne?"

"What? Women also have inheritance rights?"

"I've heard that only the strongest prince can inherit the throne of the Great Xuan Dynasty. Now it seems that this is indeed true."

Many people turned their gaze to Emperor Xuanhuang Dongfang Hao, wanting to see his expression.

But Dongfang Hao was not angry at all. Instead, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to them fighting.

"A madman." Some powerful figures felt that only a madman could do something like this kind of Gu-raising cultivation.

"The thirteenth princess and the others are in danger now. Wang Yang and Yu Hai are both cultivators who have fallen from the Wang and Yu families. Moreover, the other cultivators who have reached the fourth level of perfection seem to be well-known rogue cultivators. It is said that even cultivators of the same level from major forces are rarely their match."

Someone whispered, recognizing the remaining few at the peak of the fourth realm. They were all relatively well-known rogue cultivators with considerable strength.

Inside the Starry Sky Small World, Wen Mengyao glanced at the fourth-realm experts, and her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. She regretted that she hadn't gone easy on them last time; the lineup they had brought this time was truly troublesome.

Seeing that Dongfang Nishang, Wen Mengyao and the others were frowning, Dugu Wu was overjoyed. He said smugly, "Are you wondering why Xu Nianzhen isn't here? Give up on that idea. She can't make it in time because someone is stopping her."

As expected, upon hearing this, many on Dongfang Nishang's side felt a chill in their hearts. Although Dugu Wu and his group held the advantage, they did not rush to make a move. He noticed the unrest among the opposing side, so he said, "We are here for Chen Mo and have no intention of making enemies of all of you. As long as you hand over Chen Mo and the Star Token in your hands, we can let you go, just like we did last time."

"dream."

"wishful thinking."

Dongfang Nishang and Huang Su spoke almost simultaneously.

Dugu Wu ignored them and instead turned his attention to the group of disciples of the Miaoyin Sect, including Wen Mengyao, as well as the contestants from the Chiyuan Clan and the Qingluan Clan.

"Senior Sister." A disciple looked at Wen Mengyao, waiting for her decision.

"Then let's fight." Wen Mengyao gave her answer without hesitation.

The reason I let Dugu Wu and the others go last time was simply because I didn't want to cause trouble for my sect. But if I betray Dongfang Nishang and the others this time, it would be two-faced and would be a problem with my character.

Wen Mengyao clearly couldn't do that.

Xuan Yan and Zhou Qi exchanged a glance and quickly made up their minds. Since they had already made their choice, if they chose to betray them now, they would neither gain any favor from Huang Yi nor would Dugu Wu be grateful to them.

Let's just go all the way and help them to the end.

After some hesitation, the Kite Clan also decided to help Dongfang Nishang.

After all, the Supreme Elder had given instructions, and the outside world should also know what happened here.

If we betray Dongfang Nishang and the others now, we might not be able to get past the Supreme Elder once we leave this place.

Seeing their choice, Dugu Wu's eyes turned cold, and he said, "If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Make your move."

A few hours ago.

Somewhere in the mountains.

Xu Nianzhen had just finished recovering and was preparing to go find Chen Mo according to the guidance of the Star Token. However, she had not flown far when she slowly came to a stop.

She raised her head and looked ahead. At the top of a towering tree, a person stood proudly, their eyes closed. As Xu Nianzhen looked over, they slowly opened and asked in a questioning tone, "Xu Nianzhen, who was ninth on the previous Heavenly Ranking?"

"You need something?" Xu Nianzhen narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing a sense of pressure emanating from the other person.

“Then that’s it. I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.” Murong Jiu said slowly, “Let me introduce myself. I am Murong Jiu from Tianji Pavilion.”

Xu Nianzhen's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking, before she honestly replied, "Never heard of it."

"Then you'll remember it soon enough. Please give me your guidance." With that, Murong Niu's figure disappeared from the treetop. The next moment, a night-blooming cereus bloomed behind Xu Nianzhen, blocking Murong Niu's attack, and the two immediately engaged in fierce combat.

After exchanging blows for more than ten rounds, Murong Niu finished his probing, distanced himself, and calmly said, "Dugu Wu is right, you are indeed stronger than him."

“What he said is indeed true.” Xu Nianzhen nodded seriously, then glanced at Murong Jiu and asked, “Are you also one of his henchmen?”

“He is not worthy. My purpose in coming to the Star Domain Battle is to defeat you people on the Heavenly Ranking and the so-called Realm Suppressors and Realm Fallers,” Murong Niu said.

"What a loud tone."

"coming."

Murong Niu let out a low shout, and like an arrow released from a bow, his spiritual power surged, and with an invincible aura, he shot towards Xu Nianzhen like lightning.

Xu Nianzhen remained indifferent, her hands rapidly forming hand seals. Wherever Murong Niu passed, one epiphyllum flower after another bloomed, brief yet beautiful, but this did not stop Murong Niu, who still managed to get close to her.

Xu Nianzhen raised her hand to block, and at the moment of impact, she was knocked back. Before she could regain her balance, Murong Niu was already right in front of her again.

"So fast."

This is Xu Nianzhen's innermost thought at this moment. Among all the cultivators of the same generation and realm she has encountered in her life, she has the fastest movement speed.

But this Murong Yuan was someone she had never heard of before, and he was so troublesome. It was clear that the force that nurtured him, the Tianji Pavilion, was extraordinary. It must be a reclusive force similar to an ancient clan. Her intuition told her that she shouldn't fight this unknown opponent for long and should disengage as soon as possible.

"Let a hundred flowers bloom."

Xu Nianzhen spread her arms wide, her clothes fluttering in the wind, her crane cloak swaying behind her. Her soul power, like silk, merged into the raging torrent of spiritual energy around her. With a slight thought, a giant epiphyllum bloomed around her, its petals layered upon layer, enveloping Xu Nianzhen completely, as heavy as black iron and refined gold. At the same time, in the void around her, countless giant epiphyllum flowers manifested and bloomed, their petals closing as they did so.

At that moment, Murong Niu's attack also arrived. Countless sharp gusts of wind tore apart the giant epiphyllum flower that was enveloping Xu Nianzhen, causing it to shatter and dissipate.

However, Xu Nianzhen was no longer among them.

"A blind trick?"

Murong Niu frowned and released his primordial spirit. Under his perception, he could sense that among the countless giant epiphyllum flowers that suddenly appeared around him, there was a trace of Xu Nianzhen's aura.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Murong Niu raised her hand and summoned a dark cloud. She drew out a pool of water vapor from the cloud and flung it away. As the water vapor was flung away, it turned into thousands of water droplets. Enveloped by Murong Niu's spiritual power, these water droplets were like countless icy spikes that crashed into the thousands of epiphyllum flowers around her. The dense, crisp impacts resounded through the sky. A few breaths later, all the thousands of epiphyllum flowers shattered and dissipated.

But among all those scattered flowers, Xu Nianzhen was nowhere to be seen.

"Ran?"

This made Murong Niu's face darken. She felt that this was a very disrespectful act. She didn't intend to kill the other person, she just wanted to defeat her, but the other person ran away.

Murong Niu took out a star chart. With a thought, the star chart in his hand instantly shrank to the size of a lychee. Then he picked up the lychee-sized star chart and pressed it into his right eye. There was no pain. His right eye and the star chart merged perfectly. Then, it seemed as if there was a vortex flowing in his right eye. The world in front of him also changed at this moment.

The world turned black and white, and the vast mountains and forests seemed to become illusory. Within them appeared streams of spiritual energy, which were naturally generated by heaven and earth. However, one stream of spiritual energy was quite different from these natural spiritual energies.

"Got you."
