High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Tianling stepped forward, glanced at the God-Sealing Mirror in Chen Yuan's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Boss...aren't we going to kill this alien?"

He paused, then explained, "This guy is of the same race as the Shadow Devourer. Could he also be secretly controlling many people using his split energy forms?"

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"Keep it for now; there are still many secrets about it that haven't been uncovered."

He glanced at the tiny figure still struggling in his glasses and said calmly, "Although it and the Shadow Devourer are of the same race, they seem to be following two different paths."

"My Eye of the Void couldn't detect any connection between it and the controlled entity. It shouldn't be able to use the Shadow Devourer's method of splitting energy bodies."

Chen Tianling nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's go back to the manor." Chen Yuan put away the Mirror of Conferred Gods and turned to walk towards Youying.

"We'll investigate slowly once we get back."

"yes!"

......

Longyuan Mountain, the Holy Venerable's Residence.

After returning to the mansion, Chen Yuan went straight to his room.

The shadow shrank to the size of a palm and lay crouching at the doorway, peering curiously inside.

Chen Tianling and the Holy Dragon Guards stood watch in the courtyard to prevent anyone from disturbing them.

Chen Yuan sat down in the chair and took out the Mirror of Conferred Gods.

In the mirror.

The dark purple figure was huddled in the hazy space, its body charred black, its scales torn up by lightning, looking extremely disheveled.

Of course, it's one-sided.

He can see inside, but those inside cannot see outside.

"name."

Chen Yuan's voice entered the mirror world, cold yet full of authority.

The alien trembled and quickly knelt down: "Reporting...Reporting to my lord...My name is Jiang...Yingren."

"Shadow Blade?" Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"What is your relationship with the Lord of Shadows?"

"We are of the same race, we all come from... from the same place." Shadowblade's voice trembled slightly.

Chen Yuan nodded.

Instead of pressing for details about the location, they changed the subject.

"What was the plan you just mentioned?"

Shadowblade's body visibly stiffened for a moment.

"It's...it's about lying in wait..." its voice stammered, "waiting for the right moment..."

"When?" Chen Yuan's voice grew even colder.

Shadowblade remained silent.

Chen Yuan didn't urge it, but simply had a thought.

The world in the mirror changed instantly.

The lightning dissipated, replaced by a dark red sea of ​​fire.

Scorching flames surged from all directions, licking at the Shadow Blade's body.

"ah!!!"

Shadowblade let out a scream and rolled wildly on the ground.

Its scales began to curl and char under the high temperature, and a burnt smell filled the air.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Shadowblade hissed.

The flames died down.

Shadowblade lay on the ground, panting heavily, with wisps of smoke rising from his body.

But after catching its breath, it hesitated again.

Once humanity learns of this plan, the king's scheme will be completely ruined.

The king will not let it go then.

But I won't say it now...

It looked up at the world outside its glasses. Although it couldn't see Chen Yuan's face clearly, it could feel his cold gaze.

If it doesn't tell, Chen Yuan won't let it go now.

Moreover, Chen Yuan seemed to have a way of judging whether it was telling the truth or not; when it lied just now, the other party immediately saw through it.

There is no way to deceive with lies.

Shadowblade gritted his teeth as if he had made a great decision.

"My lord... I've told you, could you please promise me... not to kill me, and not to continue torturing me?"

Chen Yuan sneered.

"It seems you haven't grasped your own situation yet."

In the mirror world, lightning and flames descend simultaneously!

"ah!!!"

The Shadow Blade's screams echoed in the mirror space.

Lightning struck it, and flames scorched its scales; the two pains combined made it wish it were dead.

Even more terrifying.

Chen Yuan even used a soul attack!

An invisible mental shock pierced Shadowblade's mind, as if a thousand needles were simultaneously stabbing into its soul!

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!!!"

Shadowblade's voice had completely changed, filled with utter despair.

The torment has stopped.

Shadowblade lay sprawled on the ground, his body charred black, most of his scales fallen off, and dark purple blood seeping from his wounds.

Its eyes were unfocused, and its mouth opened and closed, like a fish that had been thrown ashore.

"Listen carefully," Chen Yuan's cold voice entered the mirror world.

"You have no right to negotiate with me."

Shadowblade trembled and quickly scrambled to his feet, kneeling properly, not daring to utter another word.

"Now, tell me, what is the plan?"

Shadowblade took a deep breath, no longer daring to hide anything.

"The master's plan is... to go infiltrate."

Its voice was hoarse but it spoke very clearly.

"My mission is to find a suitable human martial artist, approach him as the old man in the ring, help him grow, and gain his trust."

"Once he grows up and enters the upper echelons of the Great Xia Kingdom... I will completely possess him and continue to infiltrate under his identity."

"When the time is right, coordinate with the main army to attack the Great Xia Kingdom and create chaos within its borders."

Chen Yuan nodded after listening.

He understood.

The Lord of Shadows follows the "multi-person control" route, using energy bodies to control a large number of middle and lower-level personnel, casting a wide net.

The Shadow Blade in front of us follows the "single-person boutique" route, carefully selecting a target, cultivating them over a long period, deeply infiltrating them, and waiting for an opportunity to seize their body.

The two methods have the same goal but different approaches.

"Your clan is quite resourceful," Chen Yuan said calmly.

Shadowblade dared not reply.

"Which celestial cave do you come from?"

Shadowblade remained silent.

It doesn't want to say.

That place was their foundation, a stronghold that the king had painstakingly developed.

If exposed...

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, just about to teach it another lesson, when Shadow Blade trembled and quickly spoke.

"The Eastern Pole Ocean! The depths of the Eastern Pole Ocean!"

Its voice was urgent and fast, as if it was afraid of being in trouble if it spoke too slowly.

"About three thousand kilometers east of Japan, in the depths of the Eastern Ocean, there is an uninhabited island. Beneath the island lies the Heavenly Cave, which we call the Land of Abyss Shadows."

"The location is very well hidden, and with the help of the Japanese, it's very difficult for outsiders to find it!"

Chen Yuan nodded, signaling it to continue.

Shadowblade swallowed hard and spilled everything he knew.

"Our king once used a great treasure to lure six martial saints from the Eastern Kingdom, and the two sides reached a cooperation agreement. The Eastern Kingdom helped us cover up our tracks and provided resources, and we helped them control the Blue Star."

"When the time comes, the six saints will have performed a great service, and the king will bestow upon them a great treasure to help each of them break through to the level of Martial Saint, making them second only to the king in status."

A cold glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

This alien race has quite the ambition.

Our goal is not just the Great Xia Kingdom, but the entire Blue Star!

"And now?" Chen Yuan asked, "How many of your people are still on Earth?"

Shadowblade shook his head: "This... I really don't know."

Seeing Chen Yuan's eyes turn cold, it quickly added, "My lord, I'm telling the truth! Everyone in our clan acts alone, and we don't share information with each other."

"Shadow Eater is responsible for energy infiltration, while I am responsible for possession and infiltration. Our missions do not overlap, and we do not know what the other is doing."

"And..." its voice trailed off.

"Shadow Eater and I have been exposed. Once the other members of our clan find out, they will definitely be more cautious. I really don't know their information or coordinates."

Chen Yuan remained silent for a moment.

Although this answer is unsatisfactory, it is probably the truth.

This single-line organizational structure does indeed fit the Dark Abyss's style of doing things.

Once a link in the chain is exposed, it will not implicate others.

He changed the question.

"What level of power do you mean by 'King'?"

Shadowblade paused for a moment before speaking hesitantly.

"Wang... is above the peak of Martial Saint."

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed.

really.

"What is the realm above the peak of Martial Saint called?"

Shadowblade paused for a moment.

Didn't the powerful opportunity that Chen Yuan obtained mention this?

It raised its head, and although it couldn't see Chen Yuan's face clearly, its tone carried a hint of surprise.

"My lord...you don't know?"

Chen Yuan frowned.

This guy dares to ask a question back?

He reached directly into the mirror, grabbed Shadow Blade's head, and lifted it up like a chick.

Shadowblade was so terrified that his whole body stiffened, and he dared not move.

"Nonsense." Chen Yuan's voice was as cold as ice, and he slapped it across the face.

"Snapped!"

The clear sound echoed in the mirror world.

"If I knew, why would I be asking you?"

Shadowblade was slapped so hard he saw stars, but he didn't dare utter a sound and quickly spoke up.

"Martial God! Above Martial Saint is the Martial God Realm! It can also be called the Tenth-Order God Realm!"

Its voice was urgent and trembling, as if it was afraid of being beaten again if it spoke too slowly.

"Martial God Realm?!"

Chen Yuan released his grip, and Shadow Blade fell to the ground with a thud. He scrambled to his knees and rolled over.

"Is your king at the Martial God Realm?"

"Yes, yes..." Shadowblade's voice trembled.

"The king broke through to the Martial God Realm a long time ago, but he is currently suppressed in the Abyss Shadow Land by the world will of Blue Star, unable to unleash his full strength, nor can he personally pass through the Heavenly Cave Rift..."

It added cautiously, "That's why he needs us to do things for him outside..."

Chen Yuan nodded; that made sense.

Why don't those old monsters deep in the Heavenly Cave come out?

Why are they forced to hide behind the cracks despite being so powerful? Why do they use such a roundabout way to infiltrate Earth?

Because the world's will on Earth is suppressing them!

They can't get in.

You can't get in right now!
