The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 771 Identity Exposed

Chapter 129 Dharma Idol

“This, this, this is a Dharma Idol?”

Ximen Aoxue’s eyes were dull, his mouth wide open, enough to fit a goose egg!

“Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could this be! Dharma Idols are divine skills that only He Dao realm experts possess. How could this stinky woman of unknown origin be a He Dao expert!”

Even now, Ximen Aoxue still thought Chen Xiao was a woman.

On the other side, Qinglian Daoist was filled with confusion amidst her shock and joy.

How could this person possess a Dharma Idol? How could he possibly be a Grand Cultivator of the He Dao realm?

No, this isn't a Dharma Idol, this is…

Suddenly, Qinglian Daoist seemed to recognize something.

Behind her, the sounds of Huolian chattering away could be heard.

“Qinglian Daoist, I never thought your disciple would actually be a Grand Cultivator of the He Dao realm… Eh? That’s not right, Qinglian Daoist, you haven’t even entered the Hua Xu realm, how could your disciple possibly be a He Dao realm expert?”

“Daoist, who, who exactly is she…”

Even the rough and careless Huolian Daoist had noticed something was amiss, which meant that everyone else had already realized that something wasn’t right.

Jiaolian said faintly, “Huolian, don’t make things difficult for the Daoist. Besides, this person isn’t necessarily a He Dao realm Grand Cultivator!”

“How could she not be? Isn’t it obvious!”

Huolian said with an assertive tone, “The He Dao realm is the realm of the union of man and heaven, using the power of heaven and earth to form a Dharma Idol. Since this Jinlian can summon a Dharma Idol, what else could she be other than a Grand Cultivator of the He Dao realm?”

After speaking, Huolian glanced at Jiaolian, her eyes seeming to say, ‘Now you see how knowledgeable and talented I am, right? I'm better than you!’

“Hehe, Jiaolian is not talented, but as far as I know, the Dharma Idol summoned by Jinlian is one of the seven gods worshiped by the demon race. Qinglian Daoist, what exactly is the identity of this Jinlian? I think she is very suspicious!”

Jiaolian said in a sarcastic tone.

This Jiaolian was clearly targeting Qinglian, but Qinglian was not one to be trifled with. She said coldly, “Jiaolian, I know you’ve always coveted my position as Daoist, but with a great enemy before us, do you think this is the time to say such things?”

Huolian snorted and said angrily, “Humph, Jiaolian, you little brat, if you dare to say another word of nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

It was obvious that the internal affairs of this Tianlian Sect were not entirely harmonious, and Huolian Daoist was firmly on Qinglian Daoist’s side.

Chen Xiao was under no pressure facing Ximen Aoxue and didn't need to fight with all his strength, so he devoted some of his attention to these Daoists.

The infighting between the two Daoists immediately made him gossip: “As expected, wherever there are people, there is a martial world, especially where there are many women!”

With the appearance of the Seven Gods Dharma Idol, the five fierce ghosts were all trembling with fear, and their momentum was obviously much weaker.

“You bunch of trash, attack! Kill him for me!”

Ximen Aoxue roared in exasperation. The cowardly appearance of the five ghosts was driving him to the brink of losing his mind.

After hearing their master’s order, the five fierce ghosts immediately pounced toward the Seven Gods Dharma Idol. After all, they were mindless beings.

Their height of a hundred meters was nothing in front of the Seven Gods Dharma Idol; they couldn’t even reach its knees!

“Buzz…”

The Seven Gods Dharma Idol simply waved its hand, and a beam of firelight sprinkled down from its hand, drenching the five fierce ghosts.

This was the Fire God among the Seven Gods!

Doused by the Fire God’s fire water, the five fierce ghosts let out shrill cries of agony.

Amidst their wails, they turned into wisps of yin souls, returning to the heavens and earth, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“Pfft…”

Ximen Aoxue spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The dissipation of the five ghosts was a huge blow to him!

If the shattering of the Blood Drinking Saber cost him a hundred years of cultivation, then the dissipation of the five ghosts was a genuine regression in his cultivation realm.

Originally, he had already reached the great completion stage of the Hua Xu realm, only one step away from the perfect stage.

But now, his cultivation realm had regressed to the early stage of the Hua Xu realm. Most importantly, his true strength was not even as good as when he had initially entered the Hua Xu realm.

“Damn it…”

Ximen Aoxue clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. He stared at Chen Xiao fiercely, muttering incessantly, “I’ll kill you, I will definitely kill you…”

However, he could only say these words.

Chen Xiao could defeat him effortlessly even when he was at his strongest. How much more so now?

“It’s over.”

Chen Xiao said.

Now that things had come this far, his identity could no longer be concealed, so there was no need to continue pretending.

‘Jinlian,’ go to hell!

“You’re a man?”

Ximen Aoxue was stunned. Only now did he realize that he had been tricked.

“He’s actually a man!”

Huolian shouted belatedly, also realizing what had happened.

“Humph, Qinglian, you’re lucky today. My Tianxue Sect will spare you this time. Next time, you won’t be so lucky. We’re retreating!”

Ximen Aoxue actually naively thought that he could retreat!

Chen Xiao smiled grimly, “There won’t be a next time.”

“What do you mean?”

Ximen Aoxue was stunned. “Kid, although I don’t know who you are, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. I am a genuine Hua Xu realm expert. It won’t be so easy for you to kill me!”

“You don’t need to pretend to be a He Dao realm expert in front of me. Throughout the entire Immortal Hidden World, there are only a few great experts in the He Dao realm, and I can be sure that you are not one of them. Today, I, this seat, am inferior in skill and admit defeat. Next time, I, this seat, will definitely refine your entire body of energy and blood…”

“Boring.”

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes impatiently and flicked his finger.

A stream of light shot into Ximen Aoxue’s body. Before he could react, his Qi was detonated, and Ximen Aoxue’s physical body and Yang spirit were completely blown to pieces.

The Sect Master of the Tianxue Sect, Ximen Aoxue, died!

“Run, run!”

Dong Cangtian of the Tianxue Sect finally realized the terror and power of Chen Xiao. He shouted and activated his escape treasure, wanting to leave this place of trouble immediately.

With the death of the Sect Master, the entire Tianxue Sect crumbled and scattered in all directions.

Chen Xiao raised his eyes and swept across the scene, saying faintly, “Very well, I’ll be a good person to the end today and help you eliminate these worries.”

As he spoke, he patted the Yitian Sword: “You are already a mature magic treasure. You should learn to fight on your own! Go!”

The Yitian Sword flew out with a whoosh, first beheading Dong Cangtian, then embarking on a bloody massacre…

Chen Xiao’s divine sense covered this world. No one from the Tianxue Sect would be allowed to escape. With the Tianxue Sect’s troubles resolved, it was now the Tianlian Sect’s turn.

He strode to Qinglian and placed his hand over her body. The green Qingmu spiritual energy began to repair Qinglian’s body at an incredible speed.

In just a moment, Qinglian’s injuries were completely healed.

Qinglian felt all of this with disbelief, saying helplessly, “I never thought you would become so powerful. It seems I underestimated you before!”

Chen Xiao shrugged indifferently, indicating that he didn’t care, “I’m used to it.”

“Qinglian Daoist, who exactly is this man? Why is there a man in our Tianlian Sect?”

Huolian’s straightforward temper flared up again. Although everyone wanted to know the answer to this question, only she had the courage to ask.

Qinglian was not angry, because she had already decided to tell them everything.

In the Immortal Hidden World, strength was paramount. The strength Chen Xiao had just displayed was enough to inspire awe in her.

Under these circumstances, she dared not hide Chen Xiao’s identity any longer, not because she was afraid that the disciples in the sect would pester her, but because she was worried that Chen Xiao would be displeased.

“Actually, he is…”

However, just as Qinglian Daoist was about to announce Chen Xiao’s identity, Jiaolian’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she interjected, “I know who he is!”

Everyone’s gaze immediately converged on Jiaolian.

“She used Qingmu spiritual energy to heal Qinglian Daoist just now, so he is that boor from the secular world…”

At this point, Jiaolian’s eyes widened, and she suddenly covered her mouth.

She wanted to slap herself twice. In front of such a powerful figure, she had actually called him a ‘boor.’ Wasn’t that just courting death!

“Immortal Master, this poor Daoist did not mean to offend you, please forgive me!”

Jiaolian had a silver tongue. In the entire Tianlian Sect, she was the most eloquent, but now, she didn’t know what to say except to apologize directly.

Mainly, Chen Xiao’s oppressive aura was too strong.

And that was under the premise that Chen Xiao had no hostility toward her.

Since his identity had already been exposed, Chen Xiao no longer concealed it. He said directly, “That’s right, I am the boor you speak of, but I have a name. My name is Chen Xiao. The reason why I came out of the Tianlian Sect is because a friend of mine is an old acquaintance of Qinglian Daoist. She helped me enter the Immortal Hidden World.”

The disciples of the Tianlian Sect were all silent, their hearts filled with shock beyond compare.

They never thought that this person was the boor from the secular world, nor did they expect that this boor’s strength would be so powerful.

Then what was his purpose in coming to the Immortal Hidden World… No need to think about it, he must be here for the Zhan Shen Sword.

And the great sects in the Immortal Hidden World would never allow him to take the Zhan Shen Sword.

In that case, there would definitely be a great battle. It would be fine if he won.

But what if he lost…

If he lost, then how he entered the Immortal Hidden World without anyone noticing would become a major problem.

With the methods of those great sects, it would not be difficult to find out the answer to this question.

And when that time came, the Tianlian Sect would become traitors to the entire Immortal Hidden World, a bunch of double-crossers, and would be plunged into eternal damnation!

In just an instant, all the disciples of the Tianlian Sect thought of this problem.

They also realized that the situation the Tianlian Sect was about to face was much more complex than when they had just faced the Tianxue Sect…
