A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Duan Zhengde looked at Chen Yang and his group with a calm and composed demeanor, and a look of speechlessness flashed across his eyes.

He thought his earnest advice would make the group wary and back down, but to his surprise, Chen Yang and the others showed no sign of backing down. Instead, a hint of excitement and eagerness shone in the depths of Chen Yang's eyes.

Duan Zhengde's heart sank, and he had no choice but to solemnly remind them again: "You haven't joined the sect yet, so you should be aware of the ruthless methods of the Holy Fire Sect. The Holy Fire Sect in Baling City is currently only disguised as the Omnipotent God Sect, lying in wait. Their style of operation and their bizarre magic are exactly the same as the orthodox Holy Fire Sect. Once you step into their church and are touched by even a trace of faith, you will be completely bound and unable to escape the Holy Fire Sect's control and erosion!"

He sighed heavily, his tone full of helplessness: "I have told you everything I could to persuade you. If you insist on entering the city, there is nothing I can do."

Chen Yang laughed heartily, then turned to look at Duan Zhengde, whose face was solemn, and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kind reminder, senior, but we absolutely must enter Baling City."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengde could only shake his head and smile wryly: "I was merely offering my meager advice; the final choice ultimately rests with you. Since you have made up your minds, may you have good fortune."

Having said that, he said no more, and sighed softly: "I will now remove the illusion array outside the city. You must all be extremely careful on the road ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhengde turned around and walked slowly toward Yiling City, his back view lonely and full of regret.

Before long, he walked to a hidden array node outside the city, squatted down, and quickly manipulated the intricate array patterns on the ground with his fingertips flying.

The next moment, the layers of illusionary mist that shrouded the entire city of Yiling suddenly vanished without a trace, and all the distorted and eerie lights and shadows disappeared, restoring the city to its former appearance.

Duan Zhengde straightened up, looked at the city restored to its original state, and was just about to turn around and leave when a sudden change occurred!

Several incredibly powerful auras of the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm suddenly locked onto him from all directions, their chilling killing intent binding him tightly, leaving him nowhere to escape!

Duan Zhengde's brows furrowed suddenly, and he understood.

He knew that these were Holy Fire Cult cultivators lying in wait in Baling City who had noticed his withdrawal of the formation and had come specifically to capture him!

Even in this perilous situation, Duan Zhengde remained completely calm. He was a genuine cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm, a renowned rogue cultivator throughout the entire European Kingdom.

Throughout the entire European Kingdom, only Empress Elizabeth is a Golden Core cultivator. The maximum cultivation level of the other cultivators is only at the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm. Duan Zhengde is one of the best among them.

He was from no sect or school, started from scratch, and fought his way to the top through countless battles. His talent for cultivation and combat was terrifyingly strong, especially his understanding of formations, which far surpassed that of other cultivators of the same level.

Sensing the murderous intent locking onto him, Duan Zhengde did not hesitate for a moment. He took quick steps, his body pressed close to the ground, and transformed into a blur as he fled at top speed, trying to break free from the aura that was holding him back.

As long as you don't fly at high altitudes, flying at such low altitudes at high speeds, there's absolutely no way the other party can catch you.

But after running for several kilometers, his legs suddenly went weak and he stumbled, falling heavily to the ground with a "thud"!

Duan Zhengde gritted his teeth and struggled, trying to use his spiritual power to get up and escape, but he was horrified to find that all his spiritual power was frozen and he could not move his limbs at all!

In an instant, his face turned ashen, and his heart turned ice-cold.

He had unknowingly fallen victim to the Holy Fire Sect's bizarre poison technique! This poison was so potent and ruthless that even he, a top cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm, was powerless to resist!

A moment later, several figures dressed in scarlet robes swooped down from the sky and landed steadily beside Duan Zhengde.

The men glanced indifferently at the immobilized Duan Zhengde, one of them grinning coldly, his tone mocking: "We've got good luck today, finally caught this old fox!"

"He's a key figure among the heretics. Capturing him will surely allow us to extract more information about their hiding places and secrets!"

"Haha, we've really done a great job this time."

Several red-robed cultivators exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with greed and smugness. They casually picked up Duan Zhengde, who was slumped on the ground, and with a flash, disappeared into the depths of the streets and alleys of Balin City.

the other side.

Outside the city, bonfires flickered, their orange-red flames dancing and tearing a corner of the night away.

Chen Yang and his group sat around the campfire, quietly discussing their plan to investigate the city. After some discussion, they realized that no complicated schemes were needed; everything was under control.

Chen Yang chuckled lightly and said calmly, "That black-robed senior was right. Once we step into Balin City, we will inevitably be noticed by the Holy Fire Cult. At that time, we won't need to search for them deliberately; they will come to us on their own. We can take the opportunity to infiltrate the church and confront the core members of the Holy Fire Cult. We can then obtain the Holy Fire Altar."

Yang Hongyuan, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward, his face full of fawning smiles and his eyes brimming with extreme admiration, repeatedly echoing, "I unconditionally support Fellow Daoist Chen's decision! Fellow Daoist Chen is simply the natural nemesis of the Holy Fire Sect!"

"When we enter the city later, we'll deliberately make a big commotion. Even if the Holy Fire Cult tries to slack off and ignore us, they definitely won't be able to escape our presence!"

Liu Qingxia stood quietly beside Chen Yang, the evening breeze ruffling her hair. Her eyes were gentle and tender, but a hint of worry and reluctance was hidden in them.

She gently reached out and grasped Chen Yang's palm, softly admonishing him, "Chen Yang, the city is fraught with danger, you must be extremely careful. I won't be able to fight alongside you in the upcoming battles, so you must not be careless or reckless."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, gently took her small hand in his, and lightly patted the back of her hand with his fingertips. His tone was firm and reassuring: "Don't worry, Madam, I know what I'm doing. You won't have to wait long; I'll come to be with you soon. Just wait patiently."

Chen Yang was well aware of Liu Qingxia's situation.

At this moment, Liu Qingxia was already stuck at the critical point of breakthrough, and could step into a higher realm at any time. However, once she started fighting, she would no longer be able to suppress the power of the Golden Core accumulated in her body, and could only force a breakthrough.

This world has limited levels and cannot accommodate her after her breakthrough. At that time, she will either be forcibly suppressed and severely injured by the world's rules, or forcibly separated and sent away by spatial rifts.

Both of these outcomes are absolutely unacceptable to Chen Yang.

Therefore, his only obsession now is to break through to the Core Formation stage as soon as possible, so that he can be by Liu Qingxia's side and protect her no matter where she goes in the future.

While everyone was chatting and resting, Chen Yang got up and went to a quiet spot. He took out the storage rings he had seized from Wang Qingming and the other cardinals and unlocked them one by one.

As each storage ring was opened, the mountains of spirit stones inside gleamed brilliantly, dazzling the eyes.
