I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 287 Chen Zhian Will Die

The Wang family mansion in Gulan Prefecture seemed to have no winter. The January wind still carried a biting chill, but it had already blown open the thousand crabapple trees in the Wang family mansion.

The petals, like rouge, drifted in the wind onto the gilded roof tiles, then gently slid into the white marble courtyard, spreading a brocade carpet like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

The Wang family's mansion covers a thousand acres. The vermilion gate is nailed with eighty-one gilded copper nails. After passing through three layers of security gates, you are greeted by a winding corridor. The pillars of the corridor are all carved from sandalwood from the South China Sea, and a subtle fragrance wafts through the air as you walk through it.

On both sides of the corridor are man-made lakes, fed by fresh water from outside the city. Lotus leaves are just beginning to bloom on the lake surface, and schools of koi carp shimmer with golden and red shimmering light under the sun.

Today, Lu Qinghe, the head of the Lu family, was dressed in an indigo long robe with a mutton-fat jade pendant hanging from his waist. He was sitting on a carved rosewood chair by the lake, enjoying tea.

He possessed none of the aura of a powerful being, resembling more of a noble old man, yet his eyes revealed a cold and austere demeanor.

Among the heads of the six families of Dayu, Lu Qinghe was the oldest, but his cultivation level was not the strongest.

Wang Lianhe stood behind Lu Qinghe, pouring tea for the head of the Lu family.

Lu Qinghe enjoyed tea and admired the koi carp there until the clouds in the sky suddenly shifted.

He slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see Wang Du walking down from the sky.

Among the six heads of the Dayu clans, Wang Du was considered the best in terms of physical strength and cultivation.

At this moment, his movements seemed to cause the air to tremble, and his unimaginable aura stirred the sea of ​​clouds. Snowflakes that condensed in the sea of ​​clouds fell down and landed in the Wang family courtyard.

For some reason, the flowers in the Wang family's courtyard were still in full bloom, and the koi in the river swam happily, seemingly oblivious to the cold.

"Wang Du's physical cultivation has improved again."

Lu Qinghe murmured to himself, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He was already old, while Wang Du was in his prime.

Lu Qinghe's cultivation had stagnated for a long time, but Wang Du was still making progress.

Upon seeing Wang Du, Lu Qinghe suddenly recalled Qin Wenzhou, the Northern Commander-in-Chief, with whom he had fought several times.

Qin Wenzhou was also known for his physical prowess, and his swordsmanship was unparalleled.

I have fought against him several times myself.

The young Qin Wenzhou defeated him several times.

Even in Xuantianjing last year, Lu Qinghe once made a move against Chen Zhian, but was stopped by Qin Wenzhou.

Qin Wenzhou defeated him with just one palm strike.

It's as if... Qin Wenzhou has already transcended the Heavenly Realm, stepped into the Profound Realm, and completely surpassed him.

"But I wonder if Wang Du has already stepped into the Xuan Gang at this time."

Lu Qinghe thought to himself.

Wang Du descended from the heavens, landed on the ground, and walked slowly.

Lu Qinghe cleared his mind and asked, "Did Emperor Zhaofu say anything?"

Wang Du and Lu Qinghe sat facing each other.

Wang Lianhe poured tea for his patriarch, his eyes seemingly calm, but his mind was preoccupied with Wang Du's response.

Wang Du said in a low voice, "The Li family and the Pei family have both sent people."

Only the Xie and Yan families sent no one.

Lu Qinghe frowned: "The Li family has always been ambiguous about whether or not Chen Zhian should be killed. It is somewhat unexpected that they were able to go to Xuantianjing this time."

The Yan family has received an extraordinary opportunity and is probably busy exploring that Daoist immortal palace. It is understandable that they have not come.

However, the Xie family and Chen Zhian have always had a deep-seated feud, and several members of the Xie family have died at Chen Zhian's hands.

Even figures like Xie Wuju and Xie Minglei were killed by Chen Zhian.

Xie Maoxing tried to kill Chen Zhian several times, so why is he doing it again now...?

Lu Qinghe frowned and pondered deeply.

Wang Du took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup. The tea sloshed gently in the cup, reflecting his calm gaze.

"It doesn't matter that the Xie family didn't come."

The sage himself came to see me, and he was still as listless as before, his eyes filled with weariness, as if he had no interest in the world whatsoever.

"But... Chen Zhian went to the execution ground and killed the forty prisoners he had imprisoned."

Wang Du recounted the story in detail, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "But I wonder why the Sage changed his mind."

"Changed your mind?" Lu Qinghe's eyes darted around, and he suddenly realized.

He took a deep breath, his furrowed brows smoothing out. He took a sip of tea, his tone tinged with emotion: "The world has indeed undergone many changes."

"A mere Chen Zhian has caused us so much trouble."

He shook his head after saying that: "Thinking about it carefully, it's not just about Chen Zhian."

When Chen Zhian was young, there was a man named Chen Shuijun in Xuantianjing.

Chen Shuijun escaped to the Fengchan Terrace with the Dao Fruit, and Chen Zhi'an, backed by Prime Minister Song, now held the position of Seal of Authority. The Emperor's ambiguous attitude allowed this little worm to actually take flight, swaggering and swaggering.

Wang Du took a deep breath: "In the end, we lost this battle with the imperial court."

Lu Qinghe first nodded, then shook his head. His tone was distant, as if he meant something: "The Cheng family was originally among us, and they are the strongest."

What's wrong with letting him take advantage of us a little?

"The Great Qian Dynasty is approaching, and we are not those ordinary aristocratic families."

The ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty was fierce and ruthless. Since the Great Qian Dynasty became powerful, he never formed alliances or tried to win over others.

Even if someone wants to submit to him, it depends on whether he agrees.

And we, the six clans of Great Yu, will be the first to bear the brunt.

The powerful and fierce Xuanmen sects and their Xuanmen weapons in the Great Qian Dynasty still require a massive amount of cultivation resources to support each battle.

"It's all because the six families of Great Yu have accumulated too much power... There's no way out; we can only choose to live and die with Great Yu."

Lu Qinghe recounted the story in detail, then suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Now that I think about it carefully, if my Lu family were just an ordinary aristocratic family, when the Great Qian attacked, we could have changed our appearance and transformed into the Xuanmen sect, and submitted to the Great Qian."

Wang Du glanced at Lu Qinghe and frowned.

Lu Qinghe was no ordinary person; his cultivation was unfathomable. Naturally, he noticed the displeasure in Wang Du's eyes.

But he seemed oblivious, and instead brought up another matter: "That mineral deposit in Tianshan was cultivated and nurtured by my Shangyuan Lu family several times, and now it has finally produced Blood Refining Stone."

"But your Wang family wants a share of the pie; that's rather unseemly."

Wang Du shook his head: "That mine originally belonged to my Wang family, but it was just leased to the Lu family of Shangyuan."

Lu Qinghe said, "There are still more than forty years before the lease expires."

Wang Du said, "My Wang family is willing to pay compensation in order to reclaim that mine in Tianshan..."

The two spoke in the same tone as before, and their faces showed no sign of anger.

However, the koi in the pond not far away had already sunk to the bottom.

The light snow falling from the sky had not yet landed in the Wang family courtyard when it melted away due to an invisible force.

In Chen Zhian's eyes, the six families of Dayu seemed to be birds of a feather, and they acted together in many things, appearing to be very close.

But in reality... how could the six most powerful families in the Great Yu Dynasty not have disputes among themselves?

It's simply that the constant external threats prevent them from openly breaking off relations.

The internal animosity is being suppressed by them.

Now, outside of the Great Yu, there is the Great Qian, which can be considered a threat to them.

But who is the threat from within the Great Yu?
A dozen or so breaths passed.

Lu Qinghe turned and left.

Snowflakes began to fall again, landing in the courtyard. Wang Du stretched out a hand, and snowflakes landed on his hand before melting away.

Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, Wang Lianhe asked, "Patriarch, what about Chen Zhian..."

“Chen Zhian will die eventually,” Wang Du said.

As he spoke, his chest rose and fell slightly, and with each breath, it seemed as if the sound of wind and thunder echoed within him.

Thunderous sounds emanating from the internal organs!

This means that his physical strength has reached its peak.

The daylight streamed through the glazed dome above the courtyard, casting dappled shadows on Wang Du.

The light seemed to be distorted by the invisible force field around him, forming a faint halo.

"By then, there may be many people who want to kill him, but I always feel that he will die by my hand."

Wang Du spoke in this way.

-

Chen Zhian sat cross-legged in the courtyard of Qinglian County, his body flowing with streams of true essence, constantly absorbing the third stream of true energy.

There wasn't much of that true energy left.

Once Chen Zhian successfully refines the Dao True Qi, he will be able to condense the Mysterious Pool and enter the fourth realm of the Jade Palace.

“Cultivating in the Jade Palace Realm is indeed extremely difficult.”

After consuming the Zen Fruit, my innate talent and physical attributes improved again, but now that February has arrived, I'm still some distance from reaching the Profound Pool.

Chen Zhian opened his eyes and was about to stand up.

His eyes suddenly flickered.

Within his mysterious tower, his primordial spirit suddenly opened its eyes, illuminating a beam of light.

At the same time, the Baiyujing South Flowing Landscape was also illuminated, merging with the radiance of Chen Zhian's primordial spirit.

All of a sudden.

Within Chen Zhian's primordial spirit, there were even specks of black light.

"Causal anchor".

Chen Zhian murmured to himself.

He once killed the great demon Xu Fengqu and successfully introduced the causal anchor that Xie Yaoguang, the elder of the Xie family, had planted in Xu Fengqu's body into his own body.

At this moment, because of the profound power of the long sword that Xu Feng handed to Chen Zhi'an, Mao of England was secretly absorbing a very small amount of Chen Zhi'an's true essence to repair himself.

Once this causal anchor is completely repaired, it will take effect.

"This causal anchor is actually attracting the dragon vein opportunity in my hands."

A slight smile appeared on Chen Zhian's lips; he seemed completely unconcerned about this causal anchor.

It was only because a serene light shone down from the Guanghan Tower and the Qingshan Tower in Baiyujing, merging with Nan Liujing's light, which then fell on the causal anchor in Chen Zhian's primordial spirit.

It was as if every fluctuation of the causal anchor was completely controlled by Guanghan Tower and Qingshan Tower.

Xie Yaoguang of the Xie family believed that the cause and effect had been anchored in my body and would one day grow into a towering tree and take root in my primordial spirit.

"As for what Xie Zuoliang, the official in charge of the Lingtai, is plotting?"

"Whether it's Xie Yaoguang or Xie Zuoliang, they knew that Xu Feng had told me about the cause and effect anchor, yet they were still fearless... They must have many schemes."

Xie Yaoguang's confidence stemmed from his belief in the invaluable asset of the causal anchor.

And Xie Zuoliang…

Xie Zuoliang seems to be far more mysterious than other members of the Xie family.

He proposed to exchange for Chen Zhi'an's dragon vein opportunity, but ultimately pointed the finger at Xu Feng, which puzzled Chen Zhi'an.

"There's no rush. I just need to improve my cultivation. These so-called schemes will eventually show their true colors."

"All I need to do is break their fangs."

A slight smile appeared on Chen Zhian's lips as he put the causal anchor out of his mind again, and a thought flashed through his mind...

A treasure suddenly appeared in the void, illuminating a brilliant and blazing fire.

It was the Nine Heavens Fire Mirror that Chen Zhian obtained from the Fire Sect Master.

This is a first-grade Xuan treasure, a true treasure that protects the sect!

There are many mystical sects in the world, but very few sects possess a first-grade mystical treasure.

With the cultivation level of the Fire Sect Master Tianque, wielding this treasure, flames roared, engulfing the heavens and earth, and it could even condense up to one hundred and eight Fire Puppets, making it an extremely powerful killing weapon.

Although both are top-grade treasures, Chen Zhian's interest in the Nine Heavens Fire Mirror far surpasses that in the [Hidden Cauldron Bow].

The Hidden Cauldron Bow is extremely powerful, and the amount of true energy required to draw the bow, nock an arrow, and suppress mountains and rivers is also enormous.

If it were an ordinary jade palace, let alone a Xuanlou, even a powerful figure from the Heavenly Palace would probably not be able to easily draw this bow.

Chen Zhian's accumulated experience was extremely profound. In terms of combat strength, he was already comparable to ordinary Heavenly Palace experts. It was not difficult for him to draw the bow, but he could not shoot many arrows at all. It was fine to use it in a desperate gamble, but it would not be of much use in normal combat.

This Nine Heavens Fire Mirror is quite different.

Chen Zhian channeled his divine essence and true energy into the treasure, causing the flames on it to blaze even brighter.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Zhian could vaguely see thirty-six faces appearing and disappearing amidst the flames rising from the Nine Heavens Fire Mirror, roaring through the void.

It was those fire puppets.

"The Nine Heavens Fire Mirror is not difficult to use."

With my current cultivation level, I am able to manifest thirty-six Fire Puppets.

Looking at these Fire Puppets, Chen Zhian suddenly had a whimsical idea: "If I were to cultivate the Heavenly Net Heavenly Technique and use this technique to control treasures, manifest Fire Puppets with Heavenly Net True Essence, and then have these Fire Puppets construct the Heavenly Net Dragon Binding Formation, I wonder if that would be feasible?"

Chen Zhian's thoughts flickered, and he subconsciously wanted to give it a try.

He had already thoroughly understood the Heavenly Net Heavenly Technique, so cultivating it was actually not difficult.

When he used the Heavenly Net Heavenly Technique as a gate, the Purple Yellow Green Sheep True Essence was used to circulate the Heavenly Net Heavenly Technique, and then continued to be poured into the Nine Heavens Fire Mirror, which then transformed into the Fire Puppet...

Chen Zhian felt his primordial spirit growing dimmer and dimmer, and the divine essence that kept flowing out gradually became thinner.

He stopped abruptly.

"It is a brilliant idea, but the true essence consumed in this kind of practice is secondary. The spiritual energy required to master the thirty-six Fire Puppets is terrifyingly unimaginable."

He felt a little regretful, but his eyes also revealed a hint of excitement.

"However... this ingenious idea is difficult, but not impossible."

"If these fiery puppets could truly form the Heavenly Net Dragon-Binding Formation... a Heavenly Rank formation, paired with a First-Grade Mystic Treasure, and combined with my own many insights, I wonder what kind of power it could unleash."

Chen Zhian's eyes were burning: "You still need to refine your primordial spirit more and strengthen your divine essence."

He made up his mind and his gaze fell on the flames burning inside the treasure.

The flames flickered, mysterious and unparalleled, as if they contained some kind of profound truth from birth!

"flame……"

"By using this flame to comprehend the fire sword technique in the Thunderfire Sword Manual, one should also gain some insights."

Just as Chen Zhian was pondering, there was a sudden commotion among the people in Baiyujing.

"Is it Jiao Nu?"

Chen Zhian raised an eyebrow: "She is praying to the chief priest of Baiyujing."
