I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

Chapter 37

Liu Chuanyuan’s Unstable Dao Heart

“An expert from the royal family attacked me?”

Liu Chuanyuan pondered for a moment.

The pain in the back of his head and neck kept coming, making him involuntarily bare his teeth again. He was still a little confused. “But I don’t think that person did anything just now…”

“It’s a mysterious soul divine power that uses mental energy to interfere with reality.”

Feng Xia looked down and explained calmly without batting an eyelid, “This is also the reason why the back of your head hurts. If I hadn’t discovered it in time, perhaps fellow practitioner Liu’s head would have…”

He drew a semicircle with his hands and mimed an explosion.

Liu Chuanyuan shivered. It was only at this moment that he felt a strong sense of lingering fear!

“There’s actually… an expert from the royal family inside the Thousand Autumn Bell?”

As this was a treasure left behind by the first Sect Master, it was not an exaggeration to call the location of the Thousand Autumn Bell the core of the entire Thousand Autumn Valley.

Even if the Thousand Autumn Valley did not deliberately guard the location very closely, but to be able to sneak in under the noses of so many people and then hide inside the Thousand Autumn Bell…

It was too creepy to even think about the matter!

“Which expert of the Dao Platform Realm is it? Could it be that the royal family has nurtured another Dao Platform Realm expert over the years?”

Carefully transferring a trace of vital energy to the back of his neck, Liu Chuanyuan breathed deeply. Then, his face darkened as he pondered, “To be able to hide from so many people and hide in this place all this while, there doesn’t seem to be anyone from the royal family that is capable of doing this…”

“Fellow practitioner Liu, you might be mistaken about something.”

At this moment, Feng Xia suddenly interrupted, “In my opinion, that person didn’t sneak in. He had stayed here openly… from the beginning.”

“No one should be able to do such a thing as staying there openly—”

Liu Chuanyuan wanted to shake his head subconsciously, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly froze and cried out in disbelief, “Wait! There’s indeed such a person!”

Feng Xia regarded him briefly, then nodded slowly.

“If I’m not mistaken…”

“That person should be the super expert you mentioned earlier, the one from the Xuanwu Kingdom’s royal family who has surpassed the Dao Platform Realm.”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, goosebumps quickly appeared all over the body of the Sixth Elder of the Thousand Autumn Valley.

Beads of cold sweat kept dripping down his back. In the blink of an eye, they formed a small puddle under his feet.

It was too creepy!

It was so creepy that his blood ran cold!

He had thought that although the defense of the Thousand Autumn Valley was not perfect, it could at least make the royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom fear it. Coupled with the deterrence of the Thousand Autumn Bell, it was enough to buy some time for the Thousand Autumn Valley.

In the end, he was horrified to discover…

Their greatest reliance was simply a dream!

“Wrong… both Lei Shao and I were wrong!”

“I’m afraid he already discovered the secret of the Thousand Autumn Bell when he came to the Thousand Autumn Valley!”

“On the surface, it looked like he was frightened by the Thousand Autumn Bell, but in fact, he secretly left his power behind and tried to refine and control the Thousand Autumn Bell…”

At this moment, many clues from the past became connected.

However, the truth that these fragments pieced together made Liu Chuanyuan’s scalp tingle.

That expert from the Xuanwu Kingdom’s royal family had issued a ban stating that as long as that Thousand Autumn Bell was still standing, no one was allowed to damage the foundation of the Thousand Autumn Valley…

Thinking about it now, it was not because he was afraid of the Thousand Autumn Bell at all, but to buy time for him to completely take this treasure for himself!

Once the Thousand Autumn Bell was snatched away, how could the Thousand Autumn Valley withstand the royal family’s attack?

“Fortunately… fortunately, Brother Feng saw through this…”

Liu Chuanyuan let out a long sigh and looked at Feng Xia with a complicated expression. He smiled with relief. “Otherwise, once that person refines the Thousand Autumn Bell, the day he succeeds will be the day the Thousand Autumn Valley is destroyed!”

At this moment, there was a movement in Feng Xia’s throat and he sneered like a supervillain.

“Liu Chuanyuan… It’s too early for you to be so happy!”

“Brother Feng… You…!!”

Liu Chuanyuan’s expression changed drastically as if he had been struck by lightning. He hurriedly turned around and looked at the mysterious young man. “Fellow practitioner Feng, what… what do you mean?”

Something rather ominous leapt into his mind.

In terms of strength, although Feng Xia was not as strong as the expert from the royal family, he was still quite terrifying. Moreover, compared to the royal expert, he had an even greater advantage—

Feng Xia was here in person!

If even Feng Xia intended to harm the Thousand Autumn Valley…

“Oh, I just wanted to warn you that the crisis isn’t actually over yet.”

Feng Xia glanced at Liu Chuanyuan and thought it felt a little strange.

Back then, this fellow was considered one of the two heroes of the Thousand Autumn Valley. Now, he had even become an elder. Then why was Liu Chuanyuan’s composure inferior to a transmigrator like him? His face alternated between being black and white and his expression changed drastically all the time…

Are you able to make it, little brother?

“Ah?” Liu Chuanyuan was slightly stunned. His face flushed slightly before returning to normal. “Brother Feng, do you mean…”

“That expert is not here in person. He used some method to place a portion of his strength and consciousness here. It’s also only because of this that I had the chance to defeat him and take back the bells made by the first Sect Master.”

Liu Chuanyuan was ultimately a smart person.

Although Feng Xia had exceeded his expectations time and time again, he quickly realized the problem after regaining his composure.

“We’ve indeed resolved a crisis, but at the same time, it’s equivalent to tearing off the last layer of cover. Once the royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom thinks that they can’t seize the Thousand Autumn Bell, they might immediately attack and no longer maintain the fragile balance of the past!”

“Both of you.”

At this moment, an aged voice sounded behind them. It was an old man with white hair. Liu Chuanyuan immediately exclaimed, “Sect Master? When did you come out of seclusion?”

The current Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley?

Feng Xia narrowed his own eyes. He could sense a great threat from the old man.

If he had not perfected his Sword-Heart…

He might really not be able to defeat this old man.

“I don’t want to come out of seclusion either.”

The old man placed his hands behind his back and swept his gaze across the small bells. His expression was slightly bleak as he let out a long sigh. “However, if I still don’t come out of seclusion, I’m afraid… the Thousand Autumn Valley will really become history.”

He took a sudden deep breath and his old, stooped body eluded a mysterious dignity.

“Ring the bell seven times to indicate the seven rings of the bell. Gather all the elders and officials!”

“The survival of the Thousand Autumn Valley has reached its most critical moment!”
