Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 274 Qingyuan Order

"Ok?"

Liu Sheng's eyes flashed with golden light. Ignoring the commotion behind him, he looked down at the token in his hand, lost in thought.

The moment he grabbed the token, a sudden realization dawned on him, and he understood its purpose.

The present-day Qingyuan Cave is just one of the six secondary caves in a main cave system.

This Qingyuan Token is the credential for entering the main cave of Qingyuan Cave!
If there are already two Xuan-level magical treasures and a scroll of the "Eight-Nine Mystic Arts" in a secondary cave, then the benefits in the main cave...

What will it be?
Dao artifacts, immortal artifacts, and the sequel to "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts"?

Don't miss it!

No wonder both the Prince of Jin's mansion and the imperial court mobilized troops and sent elite forces into the ruins; it seems they were all after this Qingyuan Token.

Now, this token is in my hands...

"Liu Sheng, this Qingyuan Order is of paramount importance; a single move can have far-reaching consequences. If you cannot handle it, you should hand it over to me, the young master..."

At this moment, the person behind him spoke again, revealing his identity—

Heir Apparent of the Prince of Jin!

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Song's fiery voice rang out, sharply retorting:

"Bullshit! If my disciple can't handle it, how can your Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that everyone who had climbed the stairs with him earlier, including his master, Du Bingyan, and the Black Wind King, had all appeared in the main hall.

They were also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the inner palace, and their faces still showed shock.

How is this going?

When I was clearing the levels before, the heavenly voice said that if I passed the corresponding number of levels, I would enter the corresponding outer, middle and inner halls to obtain immortal opportunities.

Why are they all here? The inner sanctuary can only be entered after passing the third level.

Could it be because after obtaining the token, the trial ended, and the restriction separating the Heavenly Palace from the main hall was lifted?
Liu Sheng's mind raced, and he began to have a vague guess.

However, now that we've cleared the level, we should theoretically be teleported out of the ruins.

So, where is the teleportation exit...?
Or rather, how do you leave this ruin? Surely you don't have to run back to where you started, right?

strange!
"...Liu Sheng, are you even listening to me?"

Just then, Xie Bao's angry growl echoed in the hall.

Liu Sheng turned his head and saw the Demon-Subduing General of the Great Yu Dynasty, his face flushed, glaring angrily at him... the token in his hand.

"Another one coveting my Qingyuan Token. He's already courting death."

Liu Sheng shrugged, put the Qingyuan Token into his storage bag, and silently sentenced him to death in his heart.

He had sensed the death aura emanating from the people at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace.

This person's forehead is dark; he is destined to die in the Heavenly Palace.

Killing him is, in a way, doing justice on behalf of Heaven.

"Liu Lang, are you... alright?"

Du Bingyan came forward, her face full of concern.

Her bangs were damp, and her eyes looked tired, clearly indicating that the previous challenge had not been easy.

Fortunately, he was not injured.

She then briefly recounted her previous experience of passing the challenges.

After successfully passing the first level, she was trapped in a stone staircase illusion in the second level, where she had to face the siege of more than fifty tiger demons at the same time.

She failed nearly a hundred times, stuck on that level, neither up nor down.

Each failure depletes 10% of one's true energy and blood, and this energy cannot be replenished.

Just when she was almost numb, a voice suddenly rang in her ears, saying that the challenge was over. Then, she felt dizzy and was sent here.

"So, Master and the others must have been suddenly teleported here during their trials because of their own actions, which explains their astonished expressions..."

Liu Sheng nodded, understanding dawning on his mind. Of course, it was also possible that some people, or even demons, after passing the first and second trials, entered the outer and middle halls to seize the opportunity for immortality.

It's just that it's well concealed, and it's not obvious for the time being.

But it doesn't matter. Unless it's his master and the others, he doesn't intend to let either the Prince of Jin's heir or Xie Bao and the others go today.

His cultivation has now reached the point of perfect true form, and he has also gained the incarnation of "Long-Armed Demon Ape (juvenile form)," which has greatly increased his combat power.

They already have the confidence to challenge cultivators at the Yellow Court Realm.

Compared to before entering the Heavenly Palace, our side now possesses an overwhelming advantage in strength.

If we don't act now, when will we?

He whispered something in Du Bingyan's ear, and the true blood flowing silently within his body began to heat up and glow, his muscles bulged, and his pores spewed out large amounts of water vapor.

The surging heat distorted the water vapor, condensing into a phantom behind him, vaguely resembling the jade statue on the white jade altar.

Liu Sheng's transformation was completely undisguised, making it difficult for anyone not to notice.

The Prince of Jin, Xie Bao, and the others, who had been so aggressive, immediately changed their expressions.

"Liu Sheng, are you going to make a move?"

Xie Bao was filled with shock and anger. Without showing any emotion, he shielded the mysterious swordsman surnamed Yang in front of him and clenched his fists.

He never imagined that the boy who stood like a lackey at the banquet would grow to a level that he feared in just one month!

But then he realized what was happening and became furious—

How could a mere martial arts master who hasn't even entered the Dao be afraid of him, a dignified Qi cultivator?
It's all because of the great influence Wu Song left on him back then, which this kid took advantage of.

Back then, when the heroes gathered at Fajiu Mountain, Wu Song got drunk and lost his temper. It took more than ten people working together to stop him.

The Xie brothers weren't even qualified to step forward and make a move.

"Senior Wu, I only asked your disciple to hand over the Qingyuan Token. Are you going to break your oath and attack us?"

The heir apparent of the Prince of Jin also spoke out in support of Xie Bao.

"What do you mean by breaking an oath? I said before that I wouldn't stop you from entering the Heavenly Palace. Once you're inside, you can each rely on your own methods!"

Wu Song glanced at him sideways, a slight grin revealing a mouthful of white teeth:
"Besides, why should I hand over what my disciple obtained to you, just because you are the heir of the Prince of Jin?"
"I fear not even the imperial court, so why would I fear a regional prince like you? Besides, your father isn't dead yet!"

“I testify that you swore at the gate of the Heavenly Palace that you would not attack each other before entering.”

The Black Wind King spoke, his hands clasped together, his face honest and simple. The bear head behind his neck grinned at Liu Sheng, sticking out its tongue, and mouthing the words—

Look up!
What's so interesting about the top...?

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow and glanced at the dome without making a sound.

Then, the sun, moon, and stars in the dome began to rotate silently, and strands of golden light gathered, flowing and condensing into a vortex of light.

A portal?

Where is the exit from this ruin?
That's quite considerate; at least you don't have to run back...

But then we can't afford to waste any more time.

We must kill them completely before Xie Bao and the Prince of Jin's heir realize it, otherwise, if they are allowed to leave, they could mobilize the power of the imperial court or the Prince of Jin's mansion...

That would be big trouble.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng lowered his gaze and let out a soft exclamation:
"Master..."

"Ok?"

"Do it!"

He gave a low shout, shifted his feet, and appeared in front of the Prince of Jin's heir, raising his hand to chop down.

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, a bloody stench filled the air.
