Chapter 869: Chapter 504: The Qi Fortune on Xiang Lingtian
Chen Yuan knew well that all of these were external forces, including Senior Moluo as well. He couldn’t rely on their power for a lifetime; one day, he would part ways with them.
They were merely aces up his sleeve when facing a fatal crisis.
Killing incoming formidable enemies with their help would not be of any assistance to him.
Therefore, as long as the opponents weren’t excessively strong and his own power was sufficient to handle the situation, he would still engage in combat, thus enhancing his strength through life-and-death battles.
Of course, if the enemies were truly overwhelming, reaching the level of True Masters at the Refining God Level or True Monarchs at the Yang God Level, he wouldn’t recklessly risk his life.
The Asura Demon Lord would directly intervene to settle everything!
The market on the second day was even busier, seemingly with new tribes and merchant caravans joining the fray, with some tribes even setting up stalls to sell goods.
On the other side, Xiang Lingtian, who had been entrusted with a critical task, sensed the increasingly close whereabouts of Chen Yuan and a ruthless smile curled at his lips.
Seeking death, indeed!
In his perception, the opponent had actually stayed put in one spot, as if waiting for him, simply courting death.
Chen Yuan’s strength was commendable, the greatest genius in the Central Plains, the youngest Fourth Grade high official of the court, a peerless talent dominating his era.
These were all titles he bore.
But what of it?
Xiang Lingtian was confident he wouldn’t lose to him.
Having been heavily invested in by the Xiang Family with vast resources from a young age and guided by high-realm family experts, he was not inferior to the personal disciples of the Immortal Sect, perhaps even superior.
And Chen Yuan was merely a grassroots!
He only reached this point by relying on their Xiang Family’s bloodline, and once they truly engaged in combat, he would make Chen Yuan feel the real pressure within the same realm.
Double Pupils are invincible!
Dominating all!
All the titles on Chen Yuan were supposed to be his!
Xiang Lingtian wasn’t boastful, he was confident, with an invincible heart.
The elders in his tribe have praised him, saying he has the demeanor of a True Monarch.
But he wished to prove that being a True Monarch was only his starting point, he wanted to become an Immortal, an Emperor!
So close, so close, in just half a day’s time, he would see Chen Yuan, extract the Xiang Family’s divine blood from him, and completely integrate it into himself.
By then, he could elevate his physical body to a state of perfection without flaws.
Beyond that, he could gradually glimpse into the realm of ‘Divine Power Self-generation’!
Moreover, according to a piece of information he once stumbled upon by chance, there might be another opportunity for him deep within this grassland, possibly allowing him to take another step forward!
After killing Chen Yuan, he would search for this opportunity.
Xiang Lingtian had already started calculating what would happen after killing Chen Yuan.
…
…
Letting out a long breath of murky air, feeling the increasingly dangerous sensation looming in the void, a solemn expression gradually appeared on Chen Yuan’s face.
He quickly adjusted his mindset accordingly.
Come on, let’s see who is coming to meet their doom!
The Japanese devils?
Strong warriors of the Gu Family?
Seven Killings Hall’s Yama?
Or… those remnants of the former dynasty that had always weighed on his mind?
There were many enemies, and even further afield lay the terrifying Spirit Mountain among the ten Immortal Sects, so until it was truly revealed, Chen Yuan couldn’t deduce who the enemy was.
Moluo within the Emperor Slaughter Saber remained dormant, awaiting Chen Yuan’s call, while the blood-stained battle flag of the Chen Family lay silent in the Heavenly Book Space, waiting for the command of the Chen Family’s bloodline.
With a heavy heart, Chen Yuan feigned indifference and re-entered the marketplace.
Compared to yesterday, more people from the merchant caravans had come to talk to him, seemingly trying to glean his true background, but Chen Yuan deflected them all.
This left a few caravan leaders, who were keeping an eye on Chen Yuan, with somber expressions. They exchanged glances, contemplating removing this unfamiliar face.
Lest their trade route be cut off.
They knew that the Beiliang Army had always been strict in prohibiting such matters, and discovered violators would face annihilation of their families, to protect the interests of the Beiliang Army’s own caravans.
Therefore, no outsiders should intrude.
Although Chen Yuan wasn’t aware of the merchants’ intentions, he could guess. Indeed, he stood out, but with his strength, what did he have to avoid?
His original intention in concealing himself at this marketplace was to see if the enemy could identify him at a glance and through what means. As for these trader caravans and Northern Barbarians tribes,
they were expendables at any moment.
Thus, he didn’t bother engaging with them; once the enemy arrived, none of them would escape the aftermath of the battle.
Ignoring the gaze trailing him, Chen Yuan arrived before a Barbarian’s spread-out sheepskin with various seemingly extraordinary items, like some ancient cauldrons and small swords used by the Northern Barbarians, and items like bone stones.
Unfortunately, none were useful.
He was somewhat curious, why hadn’t he unexpectedly obtained any valuable treasures?
“How much for this thing?”
Casually, Chen Yuan picked up a dark iron piece, engraved with a humanoid pattern, which seemed to be a cultivation method of the Barbarians, sparking his curiosity.
Did it differ significantly from the Central Plains cultivation methods?
Seeing Chen Yuan pick up the item, the burly man spoke fluent Central Plains language and said,
“This item, three Primordial Crystals.”
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, responded indifferently,
“Worthless scrap, and you demand three Primordial Crystals. If you want to rob me, you don’t need to make excuses.”
“According to the customs of our Muwaru tribe, once you pick it up, you must buy it, or else… you must pay a price.” The burly man stared at Chen Yuan and said.
Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed, realizing this guy must have conspired with the merchants to make a move against him.
It was unfortunate Chen Yuan hadn’t intended to kill anyone so soon. He was waiting for the enemy to arrive first.
But before he could say anything, he suddenly sensed movement, his gaze sharply turned to his left-rear, where a young man in luxurious robes was observing him with a smile, softly saying,
“I want this item.”
Chen Yuan immediately opened his Heavenly Eye, and sure enough, the newcomer possessed the Qi Fortune he needed. Instantly, he casually threw the iron piece to him and said in a deep voice,
“Your life, I shall take!”
