Chapter 224 – Change in Situation

Chapter 224 - Change in Situation

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Sounds continuously sounded out, and another figure flew out and crashed onto the ground.

“Finally done.”

After dealing with the Nine Peaks City Lord, the Foundation Building demonic cultivator gave a cold smile and stopped, “It took me a great deal of effort to deal with you all.”

He looked coldly at the people on the ground.

Sitting on the ground, Zhang Chong and the others silently sighed; they could already see what was going to happen to them.

Their outcome definitely would not be very good—this was guaranteed.

What good could come out of falling into a demonic cultivator’s hands?

Even if they were not killed now, that was most likely for terrible plans down the line.

On the ground, the injured clan leaders glared at him furiously. If looks could kill, this demonic cultivator would have died hundreds of times already.

However, all of this was useless.

Looking at those people and seeing those gazes,the Foundation Building demonic cultivator coldly laughed and was about to capture all of them.

However, at this moment, he sensed that something was off.

By his side, his subordinates had all frozen.

They were all in the same pose but had stopped moving, looking quite unique.

They looked like living sculptures.

Some of those people still had cold smiles and condescending looks on their faces.

“Who is it?”

Seeing this, the Foundation Building demonic cultivator’s expression became serious.

He looked around; he could feel that the atmosphere in the surroundings had become different.

Evidently, someone had acted and affected this area without anyone realizing it.

In the next moment, his expression changed.

Ahead, a young man’s figure appeared, standing there and looking at him.

He had no idea where the young man had come from or when he had arrived; it was as if he did not have any presence.

If he wasn’t focusing, he would not have been able to discover him.

For this person to soundlessly hide here, it was quite terrifying.

The Foundation Building demonic cultivator’s expression changed when he asked, “Who are you?”

From the start, this person seemed quite strange, and if he did not ask, his heart would not be at ease.

However, the young man did not reply and only silently looked at him.

In the next moment, as the demonic cultivator watched on, the young man raised his head and slowly stretched out his hand.

“You…”

Just as the demonic cultivator was about to speak, he froze.

A massive bloody hole appeared in his chest without him realizing it.

Blood began to flow down and drip onto the ground.

The Foundation Building demonic cultivator’s eyes widened and looked ahead, unable to believe his eyes; he could not believe that he was going to die here.

In the next moment, he powerlessly fell down.

Everyone was sent into an uproar.

Beside Zhang Chong, the Nine Peaks City Lord stared for a moment before turning and looking at Zhang Chong, “If I remember correctly… this seems to be someone from elder Zhang’s clan, right?

“You hid it so well…” he said softly.

Everyone else silently turned and also looked at Zhang Chong with deep looks.

To be able to easily kill a Foundation Building demonic cultivator, this kind of cultivation required at least the peak of Foundation Building.

The Zhang clan’s clan leader actually had someone with peak Foundation Building strength.

Despite having this strength, the Zhang clan did not reveal it and instead hid it deeply.

Looking at Zhang Chong, everyone had strange gazes, not knowing what to say.

Meeting everyone’s gaze, Zhang Chong’s expression was also quite perplexed.

He could swear that he was just like them and had no idea.

However, he knew that even if he said this now, no one would believe him.

As such, he sat there with a bitter smile and did not say anything.

“It’s just an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator?”

After killing that demonic cultivator, Chen Heng was quite surprised.

Demonic cultivators’ battle strength was quite great, and he had thought that he would go through a massive battle.

He had never thought that it would be over with just a single attack.

He was much weaker than expected.

Thinking to there, he inwardly shook his head and did not say anything.

At that moment, the demonic cultivator’s corpse started to shine with a bit of golden light, and formless energy spread out into the surroundings.

Sensing this energy, everyone’s expression changed.

“This is bad!”

Everyone, including Zhang Chong and the Nine Peaks City Lord, recognized what this was, and their expressions fell.

A soul tool!

Soul tools’ effects were very simple: They could allow one to split off part of their soul and send it into the tool.

This tool could temporarily activate the cultivator’s soul within it and unleash the magic energy that it contained.

That demonic cultivator’s cultivation was at Foundation Building—how powerful would his soul tool be?

Everyone thought the same thing.

Zhang Chong’s expression changed as he opened his mouth, wanting to tell Chen Heng to hurry and leave.

However, it was too late.

A golden light shined out as pure magic energy blasted out.

It was like a divine weapon had been unleashed, and the destructive power was incredibly intense; it far surpassed the strength that the Foundation Building demonic cultivator had previously unleashed.

“Clan brother!”

In the distance, seeing this, Zhang Ya looked on in shock.

A blood-red saber descended, looking like a weapon that a god had thrown down.

It was just that in the next moment, a white arm was lowered. It was just an ordinary action, but it instantly calmed down the surroundings.

In front of Chen Heng, the blood-red saber slowly shattered and the terrifying energy it contained slowly rippled out.

This powerful attack had been blocked by Chen Heng just like that.

This process was simply too easy, and in the distance, Zhang Chong and the others could not understand just what had happened.

Chen Heng stood there by himself in the distance, looking quite calm as if nothing had happened.

It seemed like that apocalyptic attack was nothing to him.

“This…” the Nine Peaks City Lord looked at Chen Heng before looking at Zhang Chong, a serious look in his eyes, “Elder Zhang, this member of your Zhang clan… just what cultivation does he have?”

Hearing his words, everyone else turned and looked at Zhang Chong.

However, different from before, they all had fear and shock in their eyes, as if it was the first time they had seen Zhang Chong.

Evidently, they had all misunderstood.

“I…” Looking at everyone’s gazes, Zhang Chong opened his mouth but could only bitterly smile.

What could he say now?

Say that he did not know about this at all?

Putting aside the fact that no one would believe him, he was too embarrassed to say such a thing.

How could the Zhang clan’s clan leader not know about his clan having such a powerful cultivator? Even Zhang Chong himself would not believe such a thing.

However, that was indeed the case.

Zhang Chong did not know anything about Chen Heng. After all, a cultivator’s cultivation was something personal.

After Chen Heng had returned from the Flowing Cloud Sect, Zhang Chong had not asked about his cultivation, and he thought that it had been the same as before.

He had never thought that things would be like this.

Thinking to there and looking at Chen Heng, Zhang Chong felt both complicated and delighted.

At the end of the day, Chen Heng was part of the Zhang clan. Given that he had such great strength, this meant that the Zhang family would also be powerful.

From the strength that Chen Heng had displayed, he had at least Foundation Building cultivation.

Thinking to there, Zhang Chong turned and looked at the Nine Peaks City Lord.

After so many years, it was time for the position of the Nine Peaks City Lord to change.

As he thought this, he could not help but give a slight smile.

…

“That feeling from before…” Standing in front of the demonic cultivator’s corpse, Chen Heng thought back to that feeling and sank into his thoughts.

The feeling from that strike still lingered in his body.

Different from what Zhang Chong and the others thought, that power just then was not just the peak of Foundation Building but even surpassed it.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Chen Heng’s constitution was special, he would not have been able to take that blow.

Even a true Foundation Building cultivator would not have been able to stand here, looking fine; they would have fallen to the ground by now.

In the distance, in front of an altar, a young man was sitting there. He was dressed in black robes and seemed quite mysterious and gloomy.

He sat there cross-legged with demonic qi swirling around his body.

When the soul tool was destroyed by Chen Heng, he reacted and his eyes slightly twitched before he slowly opened them.

“What is it?” an attendant came up and asked respectfully.

“It’s nothing,” the man shook his head and looked in a direction, a look of surprise on his face, “The Dao Mark that I left behind was destroyed by someone.”

“What?” the attendant looked quite confused, “With master’s strength, who could do such a thing…”

“I don’t know,” the man shook his head, “The Yue Kingdom’s five sects have been routed, and the Yue Kingdom should not have any more powerful cultivators. I never thought that there would be fish that escaped from the net.

“Send out my orders, tell the disciples to be careful and not to go to Nine Peaks City,” he said after thinking for a moment.

“To be able to destroy my mark, they at least have Foundation Building cultivation. There will be no point even if ordinary disciples go there.”

………

“Yes,” the attendant nodded before respectfully leaving, leaving behind the young man.

Following this, the young man did not do anything else and closed his eyes again.

…

Time gradually passed.

Soon, it had been two months.

During those two months, Nine Peaks City had gone through great changes.

The most obvious one was that there was a new Nine Peaks City Lord.

Chen Heng had taken over the position, and he had become the new Nine Peaks City Lord.

Because of the demonic cultivators, some people in Nine Peaks City had been killed.

During this time, the Zhang clan quickly devoured other families’ resources and became stronger.

The enemies of the Zhang clan had also directly been slaughtered by Zhang Chong.

In the end, the Zhang clan had a hegemony over the Nine Peaks City.

Of course, this was not a big deal.

Even though Nine Peaks City was not small, it was quite remote and was not that big of a deal to many people.

No matter how things changed in here, it would not affect the rest of the world.

However, after that day, the demonic cultivators all retreated from Nine Peaks City.

It seemed that the person behind the demonic cultivators knew that this place should not be taken lightly, so no more demonic cultivators came.

Chen Heng was not surprised and just had people clean up the place, and he did not do much else.

Time gradually passed, and the situation in the surroundings was still changing.
