Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 268 Big Tomb
The silver moon hangs high in the sky and the sky is full of stars.

Two streams of light flashed by, drawing two majestic air waves in the night sky. The piercing sound spread hundreds of miles away, roaring loudly.

Ying Chongyun's cultivation level and understanding of the laws of space were not deep, and the speed at which he controlled the flying magic weapon was only ordinary.

In just three or five breaths, Chu Zheng had caught up with Ying Chongyun. His muscles and bones stretched, the yin and yang qi in his body flowed, emitting thunderous light, and he punched out with a loud bang.

The void collapsed layer by layer, the wind was blowing fiercely, and the invisible fist force came again, filled with the smell of blood and entangled with the power of thunder, and it fell behind Ying Chongyun in the blink of an eye.

Bang!
Ying Chongyun's body shook violently, and the protective light shield surrounding his body was shattered by his fist. He fell from the sky and crashed heavily into a mountain range, startling countless birds.

With one punch, Ying Chongyun's bones and muscles were shattered, and his internal organs were turned into a pool of mud. Even if he had some magic power to stay alive, he was already halfway into the gates of hell.

Looking at Chu Zheng falling from the sky, Ying Chongyun vomited a mouthful of blood, shook his dizzy head, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Today, I am not as skilled as you, please show some mercy."

Chu Zheng didn't want to waste any more words. He took two steps forward and raised his hand.

"How dare you, evil beast!"

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from Chu Zheng, Ying Chongyun's eyes were red with anger:
"If you hurt my life, you will be crushed to ashes!"

puff!
The palm print fell, the mountains shook violently, Ying Chongyun was beaten into a bloody mud, his soul was destroyed. Chu Zheng took a quick look at him, did not take anything from him, buried him casually, and immediately withdrew.

After more than ten breaths, Chu Zheng returned to the canyon.

The two tribes have started fighting. At this moment, the ground is covered with blood and the sound of killing is deafening.

The fighting power of Gu family is far inferior to that of Bai family. They are not on the same level at all. It is almost one-sided. It is obvious that Bai family wants to end the battle quickly and wipe out all the power of Gu family.

Chu Zheng glanced at the battlefield, raised his finger and lightly tapped, and several sharp blood-colored auras streaked across the battlefield, directly killing the top warriors among the Bai family cultivators, including Bai Shizheng.

With Chu Zheng's action, the situation on the battle quickly turned. He did not enter the battlefield, but stood high on the top of the valley entrance, scanning the entire canyon to make sure that no one was missed.

All the news of today must be buried here.

In just half an hour, the battle ended. All the Gu family monks were injured and more than 30 people were killed. Compared with the outcome of the Bai family's annihilation, it was a rare victory.

When the dust settled, Gu Zhenxun and Song Zhao didn't bother to clean up the battlefield and hurried to Chu Zheng.

"For your help this time, my Gu family will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Gu Zhenxun's expression was full of gratitude.

"I killed Ying Chongyun, and the Gu family needs to consider how to deal with the revenge from the forces behind him."

Chu Zheng spoke lightly, staring at Gu Zhenxun, his meaning was self-evident.

All the members of the Bai family who were present today are dead. If the news leaks out, it can only be that something went wrong with the Gu family themselves.

If this is true, Chu Zheng will no longer be able to cover for the Gu family.

"I know what to do."

Gu Zhenxun gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

If it weren't for Chu Zheng, the Gu family would have been destroyed after tonight. As for the remaining cleanup, he naturally had to keep the news secret.

"Please forgive me, senior!"

Song Zhao, who was standing by, suddenly bowed and saluted:

"I used the secret art of summoning souls earlier, but I didn't mean to accidentally capture your soul, causing you to be trapped in the body of a corpse demon. If you don't want to, I can find a way to help you escape."

Hearing this, Gu Zhenxun's face changed slightly. He did not speak, but just stepped back silently. With the current Gu family, they could not interfere with Chu Zheng's decision. Chu Zheng looked at Song Zhao, thinking. The Taoist in front of him was much smarter than he thought, and had already noticed some abnormalities in him.

"No need, go ahead."

Chu Zheng waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.

If it were the beginning, he might have tried to find a way to change his body, but now there is no need.

This body grows very quickly, at least much faster than simply refining Qi.

There are secrets about the universe in the Tianwu Realm. The special nature of his body may allow him to get in touch with some secrets of the universe, or even enter the universe to find out.

It is an area as vast as the universe. The energy of heaven and earth in it can also activate the repair panel. For Chu Zheng, its value is immeasurable.

Not long ago, Shang Cangyun left the Universe, which was enough to prove that there were many unknown secrets hidden in it.

Chu Zheng's original body also came from the Cang Yun Realm. If nothing unexpected happens, the peak of True Immortal will be his end. He needs to know the method of fusing the immortal blood.

Shang Cangyun and Zhao Tingxian were able to break free from their shackles thanks to the universe. If he could know some information, even just a little bit, it would be of great help to their future path.

…………

Gu Zhenxun acted very quickly. After returning to Huoyan City, he started a cleanup of the Bai family overnight.

By dawn, the dust had settled in the city and the sky above had changed.

His methods were quite clean and decisive. He blocked all the news. Except for some core members of the clan, no one knew what happened last night.

After taking control of the entire city, Gu Zhenxun immediately began recruiting new blood slaves.

This time, he directly increased the number of blood slaves to eight thousand, and a considerable number of them had cultivation. Both the quality and quantity were several times higher than before.

With the nourishment of a large amount of blood and energy, and the existence of the Qi refining method, Chu Zheng's cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.

In less than two years, his cultivation level had broken through again. Bone wings grew on his back, and he entered the realm of flying corpse. He could fly into the sky and hide underground. His supernatural powers greatly increased, and the green hair on his body gradually darkened in color and began to turn into purple.

At the same time, Chu Zheng began to instruct Gu Zhenxun to help him collect various antiques and fragments of magic weapons.

However, Huoyan City is just a rural place after all. It has never produced any prominent figures in the past. Most of the few ancient fragments nearby are of low quality.

After expending a lot of energy, the harvest was minimal, just some ordinary grade magic weapons and artifacts, and few could reach the fifth level.

Although the outside world gained nothing, the Gu family provided Chu Zheng with an unexpected surprise.

Gu Zhenxun found half of a broken jade ruler from the Gu family's treasury.

[Cold Spirit Ruler (Level 0/Incomplete): A killing weapon. It was affected by a war and shattered. Its Dao pattern was broken and its spiritual energy was completely lost. It can be repaired (4/)]

A piece of weapon fragment that is comparable to a semi-immortal treasure can be repaired, but now Chu Zheng’s hand still lacks the original energy.

This fragment came from a large tomb left over from ancient times, where a creature of unknown origin was buried.

In order to explore this ancient tomb, most of Gu's elite soldiers were killed, and only one person returned with a seriously injured body.

This fragment is the only gain.
