Chapter 530: The Sudden Change
Chapter 530: The Sudden Change
The smile on the woman’s face became much softer.
She looked at Shen Yifeng and smiled gracefully, “The Blood Hand Asura truly lives up to its fearsome reputation.
To be able to perform such feats with only a mid-Nascent Soul cultivation level, no wonder the young princess of the Ji Clan was so infatuated with you.”
The woman spoke these words to Shen Yifeng, her tone devoid of any mockery.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the central square and the surrounding areas changed once again in surprise.
Most people only had a vague understanding of Shen Yifeng’s past deeds.
They knew that he had once ventured to the Luo River and caused quite a stir there, but the details remained unclear to them.
The information revealed in the woman’s single sentence was enough to shock them.
However, upon hearing her words, Shen Yifeng’s brow furrowed again, and the aura of ferocity around him seemed to intensify.
Before Shen Yifeng could say anything, there was a sudden series of thumps.Four or five headless corpses fell from the sky, shattering the ground below.
Su Jingzhen’s figure reappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
The Soul Formation level cultivators facing him now looked even more terrified.
As the energy dissipated, these cultivators frantically rushed towards the two Unity stage cultivators from Dongxuan Academy, seeking protection.
Earlier, the appearance of the two Unity Stage cultivators from Dongxuan Academy had attracted the most attention.
The focus of most people was not on Su Jingzhen and his opponents.
Only those Soul Formation level cultivators who had fought with Su Jingzhen truly understood what a monstrous prodigy he was.
If they had not fully grasped how Su Jingzhen had overpowered the two Tortoise Sect elders before, they could see it clearly now.
Their formidable attacks, which had reached the late Soul Formation stage, had no effect on Su Jingzhen.
The closer they got, the more their attacks crumbled.
This commotion finally caught the attention of the two Unity Stage cultivators from Dongxuan Academy.
The young man in the black robe standing on the massive ancient book suddenly frowned.
With a light step, a page flew out of the book and directly blocked Su Jingzhen’s path, preventing him from pursuing.
“You have already killed ten Soul Formation stage cultivators. Such a feat is unprecedented in the Qingzhou region.
That’s enough.”
Feeling the formidable aura emanating from the page, Su Jingzhen refrained from pressing further.
He put down his black brick, still maintaining the smile on his lips.
Then, an ordinary flying sword appeared under his feet.
He arrived at Shen Yifeng’s side.
The master and disciple stood side by side in the air.
The aura of ferocity around their position was intense, giving the impression of a meeting of asuras.
“Master, did I perform well?”
Su Jingzhen smiled at Shen Yifeng, his face still smeared with blood that he didn’t bother to wipe off.
Shen Yifeng glanced at the white energy shield that still surrounded him, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
He nodded, but didn’t say much.
The gaze of the master and disciple shifted to the two Unity Level cultivators from Dongxuan Academy.
Su Jingzhen’s expression gradually turned serious.
He could sense the formidable aura emanating from those two.
Su Jingzhen was always aware of his own abilities.
He knew that without Bai Suzhen’s intervention, he probably wouldn’t stand a chance against these two.
“These must be the legendary Unity Stage Masters.
Such poise, truly extraordinary.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
But he didn’t ask any further, with his master here, he would do whatever Shen Yifeng commanded.
He was well aware that with only three hundred years of power, Shen Yifeng could easily kill Divine Intent Realm cultivators.
With a few hundred more levels of power, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to defeat these two Unity Realm cultivators.
“Out of respect for Luo River Dongxuan Academy, if you leave now, Shen will overlook your intrusion into the Linjiang branch of my Evil Moon Sect.
Otherwise, the two of you may have to stay here today.”
After a moment of silence, Shen Yifeng spoke to the two Unity Stage cultivators from Dongxuan Academy.
His tone was calm, showing no concern for the two in front of him.
The Killing Sword was raised slightly higher, its aura of killing intent and ferocity intertwined.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression suddenly turned serious.
“Suzhen, if there’s more fighting ahead, just focus on protecting me.
We’ll try to stay out of it.”
He transmitted his thoughts directly to Bai Suzhen.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of fighting with Unity Level cultivators.
However, it would be too bizarre for him to be completely indifferent to the attacks of Unity Level cultivators.
Stronger cultivators might want to capture him and dissect him.
He knew that one should reveal one’s true abilities at the right time, but not all at once.
He had already established his reputation, and that was enough.
Showing his prowess in the Soul Formation stage in the Qingzhou region was perfect.
Even if the news spreads to the Luo River Basin, his strength is enough to support him in the future when he pretends to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Upon hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, the black-robed young man standing on the book frowned again, clearly showing his anger.
Just as he was about to speak, the black-robed woman beside him suddenly said, “Before determining today’s outcome, it might be necessary for us to introduce ourselves. ?
I am Long Xin, a disciple of Pure Sound Palace, Dongxuan Academy.”
She then pointed at the black-robed young man on the ancient book, “He is Fu Feng, a disciple of Ten Thousand Scrolls Palace, Dongxuan Academy.”
As Long Xin introduced them, Fu Feng’s face clearly showed a hint of pride.
Shen Yifeng’s eyebrows raised again, clearly aware of the importance of Pure Sound Palace and Ten Thousand Scrolls Palace.
Su Jingzhen’s heart also skipped a beat.
From their words, it seemed that they were indeed young talents, not much older than himself.
Young geniuses had already reached the Unity State.
The cultivation level of the Luo River region was indeed far superior to that of Qingzhou.
Su Jingzhen’s excitement grew.
It was a bigger stage, and since he was in the world of cultivation, his ambition was to dominate those talents.
Now that he had the basic requirements, as long as he reached this higher realm, he would be able to achieve his goal.
At the same time, his gaze unconsciously shifted to Shen Yifeng beside him.
According to the information Su Jingzhen had gathered, Shen Yifeng had first arrived in the Luo River region at the Nascent Soul stage.
Back then, he wasn’t cursed, and his power wasn’t as tremendous as it was now.
How could he have captured the heart of the young princess of the Ji Clan, Ji Qinghe, with only an ordinary mid-nascent soul cultivation?
He suddenly felt that his master had many secrets.
While Su Jingzhen was lost in thought, Shen Yifeng’s voice suddenly echoed in his ear.
“The Dongxuan Academy of the Luo River is divided into seven major palaces.
Pure Sound Palace and Ten Thousand Scrolls Palace are two of them, and the master of each palace is a supreme power of the Dongxuan Academy.
At the level of the entire Luo River region, they are top-level cultivators.”
It seemed like Shen Yifeng knew that Su Jingzhen had questions, so he provided some explanations.
Shen Yifeng also understood that after this battle, the Qingzhou region would no longer be able to contain Su Jingzhen.
He would inevitably advance to the Luo River region and beyond.
So, at this appropriate time, he could share some information with Su Jingzhen.
Su Jingzhen was surprised once again and looked at Long Xin and Fu Feng.
Dongxuan Academy had taken the initiative, so when he reached the Luo River region, it seemed like Dongxuan Academy would be considered an enemy.
Therefore, even before arriving in the Luo River region, he had already established connections with at least four major powers: the Heavenly Dragon Clan, the Yan Clan, the Ji Clan, and the Dongxuan Academy.
Whether they would be friends or enemies ultimately depended on his own development.
At this moment, Long Xin spoke again, “Our Dongxuan Academy has always been friendly and prefers not to interfere in other people’s affairs.
However, the fact remains that two Divine Intent Realm cultivators from our Huangzhou branch were killed by you.”
The topic inevitably returned to this matter.
However, Su Jingzhen noticed that Long Xin didn’t seem to have a very strong aura.
Shen Yifeng’s aura grew sharp again, as if he was ready to fight at any moment.
Long Xin continued, “We cultivators should keep a calm mind.
This Daoist Su has a pretty deep killing intent. If Daoist Shen is willing to hand over Daoist Su to us, and let our Dongxuan Academy educate him, then today’s business will end here.
Our Dongxuan Academy will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Qingzhou region.
We can even provide some protection for this place.”
This statement made their intentions too clear.
Perhaps Long Xin and Fu Feng from Luo River Dongxuan Academy came because of the news about the spirit vein that condensed into liquid.
However, it was obvious that Clear Wind Mountain had already been thoroughly searched, and the place where the news originated had also been visited.
The existence of the spirit vein was proven to be false.
Their detour here revealed Su Jingzhen’s extraordinary potential.
The claim of excessive killing intent and unstable mindset was merely the most superficial excuse.
They simply had a desire to nurture talent.
In a world dominated by Qi cultivation, someone who relied on physical training to reach such a level at that age, and could even transcend realms in battle, possessed boundless potential.
In their eyes, Su Jingzhen surpassed many talents in the Luo River region.
Even though they believed that Su Jingzhen’s temperament wasn’t suitable for Pure Sound Palace or Ten Thousand Scrolls Palace, they knew that there was also the War God Palace within Dongxuan Academy.
Many in the War God Palace were naturally aggressive.
While everyone was astonished, Long Xin continued, “Rest assured, Daoist Shen , during his training at our Dongxuan Academy, we will not neglect his resources.
His cultivation will not stagnate.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yifeng’s expression became somewhat strange.
This sudden change in attitude was too abrupt for his straightforward nature.
The onlookers, including the Nascent Soul and Soul Formation level cultivators watching from the sky, were even more terrified.
So many of them had already died at Su Jingzhen’s hands.
If the Dongxuan Academy, which they had hoped to rely on, turned their side, wouldn’t they all be doomed today?
“Then why did we come here?”
At this moment, many Soul Formation and Nascent Soul level cultivators asked this question again.
No matter what, they hadn’t expected today’s situation to be so unfavorable for both sides.
They realized that from the very beginning, only they had truly coveted the legacy and heritage that Su Jingzhen and his companions had obtained from the Dantai Ruins.
Luo River Dongxuan Academy had a different agenda.
Shen Yifeng completely suppressed his killing intent.
To be honest, he hadn’t expected the situation to turn out this way.
However, after carefully considering Long Xin’s words, he had to admit that if Su Jingzhen were to advance to the Luo River region, Dongxuan Academy would indeed be a good choice.
